- Authorities are appealing for calm

throughout the evacuation process.

[birds squawking]

- Lex, you still haven't told us

where you've been all this time.

- Where haven't I been?

There are parts of the city I didn't even know existed.

And other parts I'd never wanna go to again.

- But you must've stayed somewhere.

- Most of the time,

I was staying at a place called Liberty.

- The parts of Slade,

where you found me and Gel.

- [Lex] The very same.

- So what's this Liberty place all about?

- Well, as I said, it's full of nutters.

One of them goes by the name of

Ram.

[clanging]

- You're kidding.

- Nope.

Ram is alive and kicking, literally.

He's walking.

- He won't be walking or breathing for much longer

if I have a say in it.

- All right, all right.

Nobody's saying Ram is Mr. Nice Guy,

but he didn't do everything we thought he did.

Not with Mega on the scene.

- Lex!

I've missed you so much.

[light string music]

- Anything interesting?

- Just some idiot playing the joker.

- Must be a really bad joke.

- Very bad taste.

- You'll never believe who I'd bumped into

on the way over here.

- Let me guess, a 10 foot tall alien

and you karate chopped him back to his own planet.

- Pretty close, Jay.

- Jay.

Is he all right?

- Well, for someone who's escaping from Mega's madhouse,

he looked pretty good.

He's on his way--

- To see Ebony.

Yeah, we know.

- Well, I told him where to find her.

Still, Ebony, good luck to him.

- Lex, did he say anything?

Did he leave any sort of message for me?

- Don't think so.

- Please, this is really important.

- Why are you getting so worked up over this?

I thought Jay had the hots for Amber.

[heavy piano music]

- Trudy!

Nice one, Lex.

[moves into lively music]

♪ Is it me or my imagination

- Ebony!

Hey!

- Look at them.

Bunch of suckers falling for Lex's new scam.

- Well, Lex away, I'm in charge

so I guess you can say it's my new scam.

- [Ebony] Bravo.

- I remember those casino movies

before the virus.

You had to be up on the game.

Deal with all the card sharps and gangsters.

- [Ebony] Fascinating.

- Of course, the COO always had a glamorous chick around.

A hot babe like yourself.

- Excuse me?

- What do you say, Ebony?

You and me?

Time for Zoot and his bride to get back together.

- Are you suggesting what I think you're suggesting?

- Absolutely.

- Oh.

[straining]

Who do you think I am, Darryl?

I think I get a kick out of being made a fool?

- You're hurting me.

- That's the idea.

I ought to kill you for pretending to be Zoot.

I'm just not sure you're worth the effort.

- How much of what Lex says

do you think is actually true?

- I'm sure there's some truth in there somewhere,

but it's probably buried pretty deep.

- What are you talking about?

It's all true!

He's Lex.

He does gorgeous, romantic things.

- Right.

And you believe he took on all four of Mega's guys

single-handedly?

- You're just jealous, Sammy,

'cause Lex is a real man. [Trudy laughing]

- Someone's got it pretty bad.

- What was that?

- [laughs] Nothing.

Hi, everybody.

- Salene, oh, it's so good to have you back!

- I didn't realize how much I missed this place.

- Well, we missed you too.

So what happened?

Is Mouse okay?

- Yeah, no, she's fine.

She got accepting into the Ecos.

She wanted me to stay but I,

I thought I'd be better off here.

- Oh Sal, you're hand.

- Oh, it's okay now.

I'd run into a bit of trouble in the city.

I fell ill and at one point,

I didn't think I was gonna make it.

- You poor thing.

I wouldn't be here if not for somebody.

They helped me when I needed it the most.

- Well, who was it?

You should've brought them.

- I have.

Come on, don't be afraid.

[daunting music]

- Her?

- The traitor?

- What do you think they're talking about?

- Well, I'd say she just complimented Jack on his hair

and now she's building up to ask him out on a date.

How should I know?

- What the heck do I do now?

- Jack--

- I mean this is serious!

- Look, just tell us what's going on.

What'd she say?

- Mega wants to meet me at the hotel.

- Told you it was a date.

- [Jack] What?

- Ignore him.

- Look guys, what if this is a trap?

I'm done for!

- Get a grip, Jack.

This is exactly what you wanted.

Mega's gonna let you in.

- Yeah, but--

- No buts, Jack.

The lady's right.

Sounds like you're Mega's machine.

Let me be the first one to congratulate you.

- Look, Lex, we don't even know what he wants.

- Who cares?

You're in!

Why not take him a box of chocolates?

First date?

[light music]

- Salene, the tribe reached a decision.

May is out!

- And that's written in stone forever?

We make a decision once and we can't even talk about it now?

- She betrayed us!

Everything we did, Mega was two steps ahead.

- Yeah, she's a traitor.

- Okay, can we talk about this calmly, please?

- Salene--

- It's okay.

Look, I wouldn't be here if it weren't for May.

She saved my life.

Doesn't that count for anything?

- Of course it does!

- Anyway.

Who are you to say it's okay?

What about your city net broadcast?

- You don't know the full story.

- A nice little puppet for Mega.

Didn't even see his lips move.

Just yours.

- Don't you talk about what you don't know.

It was because--

- Because what?

[light music]

- If you wanna talk, let's talk,

but not here, no offense.

- Hey, Darryl, what's up?

- Nothing much.

- [Amber] Uh, okay.

- Except discovering I'm the world's ultimate loser.

That's all.

- Not exactly having a good day then.

- I always screw up everything.

Try and be somebody.

There's no getting around it.

I'm a zero.

- How's this for an idea?

You're not gonna change the past,

however much you look.

The question is,

what are you gonna do today?

- [May] Thanks for sticking up for me.

- After all you've done for me,

I'd be a real scumbag if I didn't.

- Even so, I don't think this is gonna work.

- How do you mean?

- Well, they've got no reason to take me back.

I did betray them.

- Everybody makes mistakes, May.

You don't have to go on paying for them

for the rest of your life.

- I've got too much of a past here.

Maybe I should just go.

- You're not going anywhere.

I'll stand by you, whatever happens.

[heavy orchestral music]

- So, like what you see?

- Well, you had to ask?

- Great minds can achieve great things, Jack.

- Oh, I tell you.

Beats the heck outta stuff I've been using.

- Yeah but you get a lot done with limited resources,

which is what I admire about you.

You go all the important hardware up here.

- Yeah, well not everybody sees it that way.

- Exactly my point.

What would happen

if you'd been at

a slightly different place when the virus broke out?

- How'd you mean?

- Your whole future could've changed.

You could've become part of a tribe

where your skills would put you near the top.

- Yeah, I guess.

- I mean, talent can only shine where it's recognized.

- True.

- But in some places, talent gets rewarded.

- Like here, for instance?

- This is where the action is.

How'd you like to work for me, Jack?

[light orchestral music]

- Hi.

- Hey.

- I'm looking for a girl called Ebony.

- You look like the sort of Techno geek

who works for Mega.

- [chuckles] As if.

Afraid not, pal.

- Why are you looking for Ebony?

- I think that's between me and her, don't you?

- Snotty, huh?

Hey, you wouldn't happen to be Jay, would you?

I've heard a lot about you.

- Good, great.

So, what, are we gonna stay here gossiping?

You now, I'm not sure Ebony would be interested

in anything you have to offer.

- Ebony's a big girl.

I think she can decide that for herself.

- Friendly word of advice, pal.

This ain't Technoland or the Mall.

Just be careful whose toes you step on.

- [laughs] Fine.

[baby cooing]

- It's really good to have you back, Salene.

- I know, it's really good to be home.

- Look, I'm sorry we had to get into a fight before.

- So does this mean that May can stay?

- That city net broadcast,

I haven't sold out to Mega.

I just didn't have any other choice at the time.

- You could've refused.

- We're going along with Mega for the time being.

He's too strong.

We're gonna take him down from the inside.

- Then why the big secrecy?

Why couldn't you just stay this before?

- I don't want May to know any of our plans.

She may have helped you, but I just don't trust her.

- No one's asking you to be her best friend, Amber.

So, how's it going with Mega?

- He's a monster.

On the outside, he's so calm and reasonable,

but-- [baby cooing]

- What?

What did he do?

- He threatened Bray.

I had to do the broadcast, Salene.

He threatened by baby.

- Meg is really good at getting people

to do what he wants.

- Yeah, blackmail, threats, the works.

- Well, then, don't you think he might have used

the same tactics on May as well?

- He's asleep.

Best leave him alone.

[light music]

- Oh Lex!

- Just a bad dream.

I was caught by a whole pack of Zoot chicks.

And it got a little bit better.

Sammy, what did you blow on my ear for?

- I didn't!

- That was me.

- Oh.

- I came to invite you 'round to my place.

I'm cooking my special lasagna.

- Fine.

- So you'll come?

- Yeah, why not?

- Excellent.

[light music]

- Thanks a lot, Lex.

- It's not like I'm stealing your girl, kid.

I just said I'd eat her food.

- I think she's got a lot more than that in mind.

- She's cooking for the whole tribe.

That's what she meant.

Didn't she?

- Nope.

- This isn't a date.

- Mhmm.

- Oh, heck.

[dog barking]

- Hey, don't I know you?

- I doubt it.

I tend to hang out with my own species.

- I know you.

You're Ebony.

- Yeah, it's Ebony.

- You're the one that carved up the city.

You and your Zoot tribe.

- We've been through hell and it's all because of you.

- You don't know what you're talking about

'cause if you had half a brain,

you wouldn't get in my way.

- He's got amazing hardware.

Like enough technology for a space shuttle.

- Okay, so this guy has all the best toys.

What did he say to you?

- Easy, Ellie.

Give the man some space.

This could be a major player we're talking to.

What's the story, Jack?

- I'm in.

I'm totally on the inside.

The guy's offered me a job,

and if I don't mind saying so myself,

he wants to see me tonight for dinner.

- Nice one.

- Now we're getting somewhere.

- Talking of which, there's a piece of software in there

I'd like to grab.

- What sort of software?

- It's for a special project.

The Resistance.

- The Resistance?

- Let's just say the Mall Rats had a loan.

- Well, I suppose I could.

- What's going on, Lex?

You're not usually out to save the world.

You're the guy who's usually out for what he can get.

- Oh, thanks.

As if I didn't almost get lynched by Mega.

Now I have to listen to this.

- What exactly does the software do?

- If I get it, we can--

- No.

Sorry, Lex, it's too soon.

We've only just got in there.

It's too big a risk.

- You're right.

I just wanna get moving.

- Better start being polite, Ebony.

- Nobody tells me what to do.

- Right.

- I say we teach her a lesson.

- You can't teach me anything.

- You've had this coming for a long time.

- If you had half a brain,

you'd know that Mega was behind everything in the city.

- Don't make us laugh.

You and Zoot did all the damage.

- Mega created Zoot!

He set the whole thing up.

Zoot is a fake.

- Yeah, right.

Let's finish her.

- The first one to touch me

better say goodbye to their teeth.

- Ha, call on Zoot to save you.

- Err and Chaos!

Ebony speaks the truth.

She was deceived.

["The Tribe Theme"]

There is no Zoot.

Zoot's dead.

Mega used me as a double to trick Ebony.

He manipulated her, me,

and all of us.

We're good, huh?

- Amber.

- Oh, it's you.

- I've been thinking

and I've decided

I'll go if you want me to.

- Let me get this straight.

You're willing to go now?

- I don't want to,

but I can't blame you for saying that I should go.

Mega had be wrapped 'round his little finger.

It was so scary.

I guess it's no excuse, really, is it?

So,

I'll go, if you want me to.

[light string music]

- I know how manipulative Mega can be.

Let's just see how things go, okay?

[light string music]

[laughing]

- No more.

- Again, again!

- Don't you feel dizzy?

- No.

- I do.

- Again!

- Tell you what.

- Ha, that's my baby!

- What's up, Ram?

New electric toothbrush?

- I have just created a totally original component.

Still got my touch.

- Big deal.

- Don't underestimate, Siva.

Little components make great things.

- There's somebody new in town.

- Ram!

- Easy, Jake.

Odd score to settle?

- Never thought I'd see you here.

- Yeah, well, I don't exactly advertise.

Celebrity, can be such a drag.

- Was it fun, deleting Ved?

- Number one, Jay, I didn't have that pleasure.

Number two, frankly, he was a bit of a jerk.

- You're history! - No!

- Somebody help us.

- Mega fixed everything.

He deleted Ved.

Ram didn't do it!

- Okay, okay!

- They really wanted my blood.

- Yup.

- This ain't gonna work.

How can I lead a rebellion

when half the kids think I'm public enemy number one?

- Search me.

- Bride of Zoot.

Mega really had it sussed when he set me up.

Listen.

What you did for me back there was really amazing.

Thanks, I owe you.

- It's nothing.

You're welcome.

- You know for a moment there,

I really thought it was Zoot.

Even though I knew it was you.

- I guess Mega had me trained pretty well.

- Yeah, too well.

- We should go this way.

It's much safer.

[light piano music]

- I don't think Lex is romantic dinner type, Gel.

- Yeah?

And what would you know about romance?

- Wow!

This looks great.

You've really gone through a lot of trouble.

- It's no trouble if it's for the right person.

- Right.

Well, it seems a shame for only two people to enjoy it

so Sammy, why don't you join us?

- He's got stuff to do tonight.

Haven't you, Sammy?

- Yeah.

That's right.

I have.

- Sit down, Lex.

[light string music]

I've been looking forward to tonight.

- Yeah, me too.

- So, how did you get here?

- Lex showed me the way.

- Lex?

- Yeah, I saw him on the street on my way out.

What kind of place is this, Siva?

- It's strange.

Almost everyone who wants to get out of the city

ends up here, including my little sister.

- Hmm, how is Ebony?

- So,

what do you plan to do, Jay?

You're not exactly her favorite person.

- Yeah, I know.

The past is done.

I mean, what's important is that we overthrow Mega

with Ebony's help.

- Easily said.

- How do you think she'll react to me?

- I'm not sure.

Tread carefully with her.

She's been through a lot.

- You know, Lex,

I think you're one of the most handsomest-est men

in the city.

- So nice of you to say so, Gel.

You're not so bad yourself.

- A toast!

To Lex.

- To Gel.

Hey!

- Oops.

Silly.

You know what?

I really like this wine.

I really, really...

Wanna hear something amazing?

I've never really drank wine before.

- You don't say.

- Never!

Makes me feel a bit [yawns].

- Look, if you wanna go to bed--

- Uh-uh.

Naughty, naughty.

I've heard all about you.

- Oh?

And what have you heard?

- You're a very bad boy.

But I don't think it's true.

You're very nice.

It's been lovely sitting here, chatting.

Lovely.

[light flute music]

Thanks, Lex.

- Thank you for a wonderful evening [chuckles].

- So what makes you stick around here, Slade.

I mean, one place must be just as good as any other.

- I recall you asking me that a while back.

- Did I?

And what did you say then?

- Well, same as I'm saying now.

There ain't nothing happening anywhere else

that ain't happening here.

- What kind of answer's that?

- That's the only one you're gonna get.

- Another?

Well, this sure ain't the same place

since you showed up.

- Well, I hope you're not blaming me for that.

- Not directly.

Things just seem to happen around you.

Guess it's just the way it is.

We're closed.

[light orchestral music]

- No!

Pineapple!

Can't believe it.

Where'd you guys get this stuff?

- Expertise has its rewards, Jack.

Let me tell you about the program I want you to head up.

- Yeah sure, what do you have in mind?

- You know, even in a well-ordered society,

you can't discount human emotions.

Not everyone's as clear-headed as us.

- No, I guess not.

- People need an outlet

to release all their pent up instincts

and why not kill two birds with one stone?

- And what two birds would they be? [laughs]

- Well, at the same time as letting them

discharge their emotions,

we can deal with the troublemakers.

- Right so,

where do I come in?

- I want you to devise an electrical correction system

that's got enough showbiz to please the masses

and severe enough to do away with any opposition.

Sounds good to you?

You're gonna be my chief punisher.
