- Authorities are appealing for calm

throughout the evacuation process.

[ominous music]

- Oh that's awesome.

That is just awesome.

- Take it in.

This is where it all happens, Jack.

The nerve center.

All the systems, the network, the security.

It's all controlled from here.

- Is that a biohazard symbol?

What is in there?

- Don't worry about that.

It's an automated pharmacy manufacturing medicines.

- Whoa you can do that?

- Jack we can do anything.

It's all here.

All the technology you and I can ever need.

We can build a new world, a new order.

You and I, together.

[somber music]

- [Boy] Amber.

Amber over here.

- If you think I'm going to fall

for the scum in the alley routine, you're sadly mistaken.

- That's a nice way to greet your friends.

- Jay!

- Easy easy , shh.

Don't want to attract attention.

- I've been so worried about you.

Well I mean, we've all been worried about you.

- It's good to see you.

[clears throat]

Oh Amber, this is Darryl.

He's on our side.

- Like we've got much of a side.

- We have.

The rebel alliance is now a fact.

- Really?

- It wasn't easy.

- Even with Ebony?

- Even with her.

[gentle guitar music]

- Jay we shouldn't stay out here.

It's open season on us.

- Right, Amber we have a hideout.

Fancy a rebel breakfast?

- Absolutely.

- [Ellie] That's it, just pack it all away!

Why don't you go and live with your robot geek friends?

- You know I might do that, because this place

is full of people screaming all the time!

- What have they done to you Jack?

- Listen, they've given me a job, appreciation,

and intelligent conversation.

- No they've turned you into a sadistic little creep!

- Yeah and the other thing they don't do

is they don't screech in my ear!

- You are not going through with this punishment madness!

- Look Ellie, society needs a control valve.

- Oh listen to you, your Mega's little parrot!

Fine!

- Hey!

- Take your stupid techy gadgets with you.

I'll be overjoyed to be rid of them!

- You idiot, that mechanism's fragile!

- So are people's feelings!

You're so wrapped up with your stupid toys

you've lost touch with people!

- Yeah, you know whatever!

[plastic crunching]

I...

[emotional music]

- [Ellie] Get out!

- [Jack] I'm going you crazy bat!

- It's round three. [teacup dings]

Ellie jabs, her right hook

and Jack's up against the ropes.

It's not a pretty sight, ladies and gentlemen.

- Lex, it's not funny.

- I know it's tragic.

- Yeah whatever happened to those two?

They used to be all over each other.

- [Ellie] I'm sick of the sight of you!

- Yeah, maybe too much all over each other.

- Jack and Ellie were so good together though.

I mean if they can't make it work--

- Live with a guy, get to see all his disgusting habits.

Let a guy get away from you--

- Gel?

- And who knows what he's up to?

Oops, I didn't mean Jay.

I'm sure he's a good boy out in Liberty.

- Gel you'd look really good

with a towel stuffed in your gob right now.

- Hey that's-- - That's it.

Mega deserves a smack in the mouth for what he's done.

- Way to go, girl.

- Ellie!

Hope she doesn't go and do anything crazy.

[ominous music]

- So you're saying Java was a figment of the imagination.

- No sir.

- Then why hasn't she been found?

- We've searched everywhere.

- You've heard of the new punishment game haven't you?

We're kind of short of people to take part.

Something's very wrong.

Double all security, increase all patrols.

Java must be found.

[dramatic music]

- You shouldn't have come back to the city,

though I'm glad you did.

There's a price on your head.

- Somebody's gotta stir up trouble,

and I know Megaland.

- There's something really familiar about that guy.

[Jay chuckles]

- I should think so.

Amber, meet Zoot.

- What?

- Power and chaos.

- Mega's been using him as a Zoot double,

but he's one of us now.

- Never thought I'd be working alongside mighty Zoot.

- Yeah well, it's time that Zoot told his side of the story.

Hey, how's the tribe doing?

- Not good.

And Trudy misses you, a lot.

I could arrange for her to come here secretly.

- Yeah, yeah that'd be great.

- Well I better get going.

I don't want Mega getting suspicious about where I am.

Take care, Jay.

[gentle guitar music]

- So that's the great Amber.

Pretty girl.

- Come on, we've got work to do.

[gentle guitar music]

- You know you should really book an appointment,

but as your boyfriend's been so helpful

I thought I'd overlook it.

Or is it ex-boyfriend?

- You've got some nerve.

- But so have you it seems.

Be careful Ellie.

- You're disgusting!

The way you got your tentacles into Jack.

- Jack is simply working somewhere

where his talents are appreciated.

- Yeah by the likes of you!

- And where people think clearly

instead of vomiting up a load of emotional rubbish.

- Every tyrant has a logic to justify their oppression.

- You're on dangerous ground, Ellie.

I think you should get a grip of yourself.

- Yeah?

Well I think you should get a grip of this!

[electricity crackling]

- That was a mistake.

- Oh go suck on your hard drive!

- I think somebody just volunteered herself.

- Volunteered for what?

[somber music]

[dog barks]

- Nice earring.

- It's Siva's.

It was Siva's.

It's funny how the world can just slip away in a moment.

- Yeah.

How are you feeling?

- I didn't think I was the crying type.

- Sometimes it's good, letting it out.

- Thanks.

For being there.

- I'll always be there.

- The first time you saw me I was

leading a pack of lunatics

who locked guys in cages.

- Yeah as I recall you tried to lock me up too.

- Yeah exactly.

- Exactly what?

- So, why are you so interested?

You could have any woman you want.

I've seen the way Ruby looks at you.

- Well maybe I don't want just anyone.

- You should think about it.

She'd give you an easier time than a mad warrior queen.

- Well who says I want an easy time?

The mad queen has fire in her eyes,

and I don't like to get bored.

- Pretty persistent aren't you?

So, how do you know you'll like it if you get it?

- Let's just say I trust my instincts.

And it's not if, it's when.

Your call.

[emotional music]

I'm sorry about Java.

It was self defense, Ram.

Now you wouldn't be thinking about--

- Revenge?

Come on now, Slade.

We're all on the same team aren't we?

- Well that is the general idea.

[gentle guitar music]

- Maybe bouffant style, what do you think?

- Won't you miss having the use of your hands?

- Should've known not to ask you about fashion.

Where's those sweeties you said you'd get?

- I got something better.

- For instance?

- For instance...

- Sammy!

It's beautiful.

Looks expensive.

- Yeah, I reckon it is.

- And is it for anyone in particular?

- It's for you.

- It's gorgeous!

If only I had my earrings here to go with it.

I left them in the cafe.

- I'll get them.

[gentle guitar music]

- Oh dear oh dear.

What have we here?

- I'm busy Lex.

- So I can see.

Lady Merc's got you fetching and carrying

like a prize doggy.

Be careful she doesn't get you fixed as well.

- What are you talking about?

- How do you expect a girl to be interested in you

when you're such a pushover?

- She is interested.

- Yeah, in having a slave.

She enjoys using you, but you're not

gonna graduate from lapdog.

- No.

- Take a tip from Uncle Lex.

You want a girl to notice you as a man,

don't be all over her.

They can smell your desperation.

Act as if you're not interested.

Then she will be.

- But that doesn't make sense.

- I know, female psychology.

I don't write the rules.

Just trying to save you from yourself.

- Are you sure about this?

- Do I know women?

Or do I know women?

[somber music]

- Salene?

Hey.

What are you doing in bed, are you sick?

- Not really.

- You don't have a temperature.

- Like I said, I'm not sick.

- So what's up?

- I just don't feel like I can face anything today.

Or anyone.

- Well you can't stay in bed all day.

- Why not?

- Because!

You've got a lot to offer.

There's people out there that need you,

that care about you.

- Like who?

- We all do, Sal.

Come on, where's the Salene that I've come to respect?

Responsible, caring,

positive, a fighter?

[gentle guitar music]

- I just don't care anymore.

- [Trudy] Is he all right?

How did he look?

- He looks fine.

- And where is he, is he safe?

- Yeah, he's got a hideout.

- Did he ask about me?

- Of course.

I've set up a meeting between you two.

But you need to be really careful going there.

No one can see you.

- Oh Amber, thank you so much!

You're amazing.

[computer chimes]

- Look, Citynet's on.

- Some new piece of wisdom from our glorius leader.

- Today Citynet brings you a fabulous new spectacle.

A fiendish challenge.

- Me to join the circus?

- Designed to test our most hardened criminals.

- What's she talking about?

- An interactive entertainment

with some shocking surprises.

- Shocking?

Who writes this stuff?

- Star someone you'll love to fry

for crimes against the state,

we present one of those high and mighty mall rats, Ellie!

- What?

- [Announcer] Will Ellie fry,

or will she make it through her punishment?

Tune in to Citynet late this afternoon.

- They're gonna punish Ellie on Citynet.

- This is sick.

- I knew we shouldn't have let her go out.

We should've stopped her.

- This punishment game, Jack invented it.

- Jack wouldn't harm Ellie.

Would he?

- You heard him this morning.

There's no love lost there.

[emotional music]

- Oh I can't believe I've got you in my arms again.

It feels like a dream!

Jay, you don't know how much I've missed you.

I've laid awake so many nights

hugging my pillow imagining it was you.

- Your pillow?

- I know, I know!

But it's nothing like the real thing.

Oh Jay I've missed you so much.

- So, what's news at the mall?

- Oh, well it's terrible.

Ellie went wild at Mega and so now he's gonna put her

in some sort of punishment game.

- Punishment game?

- Yeah they're going to broadcast it on Citynet.

Mega has really flipped!

I almost feel bad for feeling so happy today,

but I can't help it.

[emotional music]

- It's awful about Ellie isn't it?

- Mhmm.

- Still, she had it coming.

Too keen on playing little miss bossy boots.

Don't you think?

- Mhmm.

- What is it with you today?

Would you like to get me a drink?

- Not especially.

- Whatcha doing?

- Oh nothing that would interest you.

- Well how do you know?

I'm interested in a lot of stuff.

I mean...

Sammy, wait!

Where are you going?

- She willfully tried to wreck two computers.

That's state property that

benefits everyone in the safe zone.

- She was upset!

- She's a vandal.

She should learn to control her emotions.

- Look, Mega please, don't do this.

- She did it to herself.

- She was obviously in a state.

Why did you even let her in here?

- Let's not muddle the issue here, Amber.

If a mall rat wants to talk to me, I let them in.

This is not about me.

- Mega you really gotta give her a second chance.

- I'll tell you what, how about we let Jack decide?

I can't be much fairer than that.

How about it Jack?

Does Ellie go to the game,

or do we set her free with a little

pat on the head and a lollipop?

- Come on Jack, this is Ellie we're talking about.

- Yeah I mean, she hasn't given

a great impression lately.

- Jack whatever has happened between you two recently

you cannot send her to this, this chamber of horrors.

It's Ellie, you know?

You've got to think of the good times that you've had too.

- Your decision, Jack.

- [Amber] Jack.

- I think...

There's no excuse for smashing state equipment.

Ellie should be punished.

[Amber sighs]

[somber music]

- Is that one I've read?

Some of the characters in there have cool costumes.

- Mhmm.

Hey!

- By the way, the locket?

It's not real gold.

- But hang on.

- I've gotta go now.

I think I'll go see Lex.

See if he wants to spend some quality time with me.

- Hey wait!

- I'm sorry, did you want something?

- Well, well Lex wouldn't be interested in quality time.

He's got far too much to do.

Why don't you stay here?

- I suppose I could,

if you brought me a sandwich.

- I'm not doing that!

- Oh Lex!

- All right, I'll do it.

- And a glass of juice too, please.

[emotional music]

[sirens wail]

[kids screaming]

- There's a lot of patrols out there.

You think they're onto us?

- Mega must be getting jumpy.

With Java gone, he's lost

the real brains behind his military.

He knows he's vulnerable.

You better get going.

- No Jay, I want to stay here with you.

- It's not possible.

- But I'll worry, you do not know what it's like

never knowing where you are,

always imagining the worst.

- You have to get back to the mall, and Brady.

- No.

- Trudy, the more people that are here,

the more dangerous it is.

- But--

- We'll be together soon, I promise.

[emotional music]

- [Trudy] Please be careful.

[emotional music]

- You know, it's none of my business and all

but I'd say Trudy lights your fire

a lot less than Amber does.

- You're right, it is none of your business.

[trumpet fanfare blares]

- Hi, and welcome to the Pain Game.

The game where you can get your own back

on all those criminals and lowlifes that foul up our city.

And now, meet our very first contestant,

a celebrity no less,

and the girl who takes some punishing

way steady on there.

The one, the only, Ellie!

- Look there she is!

- [Announcer] Can Ellie make it out of the tunnel

before the time's up and we plug into the mainframe?

Don't forget to vote for voltage levels

whenever she makes an error.

[computer beeping]

- Jack don't do this!

- [Sammy] Don't worry, Jack must have something planned.

He wouldn't hurt Ellie.

[emotional music]

[electricity zaps] [audience laughs]

- [Announcer] Ow, shocking!

[emotional music]

- No, don't touch that door Ellie!

[electricity zaps] [audience laughs]

- I can't watch this.

[audience laughs]

[emotional music]

[door creaks]

- [Announcer] Now there's a clever rat.

- Hi Ruby.

Look what I'm doing.

Slade said I could help.

- Terrific.

- Something on your mind Ruby?

- Why should there be?

- Well spit it out if you've got something to say.

- Ebony?

- Concentrate on the bike.

- You seem to be getting pretty close.

- Is there a point to this Ruby?

- Just a friendly interest.

Curious how you see Ebony in all this.

- He wants to see her without her clothes.

- Lottie can you give us a few minutes please?

- But I'm helping Slade!

- Lottie, scram.

- I'm only saying what's true.

You two are just a couple of hypofrits, ha!

- Look, Ebony's a street fighter.

Ruthless, tough.

We need people like her if we're gonna bring Mega down.

- Oh and that's all you need her for.

- Oh Ruby.

- Look I know you're a free agent, Slade,

and I don't have any claim on you.

- Well that's true.

- But I can't help caring.

- Caring or interfering?

- All right.

Look all right, but you're supposed to be leading a revolt,

not chasing after your new conquest.

- Yeah, I haven't forgotten.

- Well just remember, wild animals are just that,

wild and dangerous.

[dramatic music]

- [Announcer] She's doing pretty well folks,

but she better hurry up.

The juice is coming on, oh so soon.

[door creaks]

[audience laughs]

- No!

[audience laughs]

- [Announcer] Five seconds.

Four.

Three.

Two.

One.

[triumphant music]

Will you look at that?

Looks like she made it folks.

- Bravo, she's a very lucky girl.

- No, no no she has to be punished.

I made it way too easy.

[electricity zapping]

- Ellie!

- No!

- Jack?

[dramatic music]

[knocking]

- Ruby, if that's you I'm not in the mood for...

- For what?

What are you not in the mood for?

- Games.

- This is no game.

It's not if anymore.

It's when.

Your call.

- Why now?

- Well why not?

- Because you don't do things without a reason.

- Reason enough?

Ooh what's this Slade?

Speechless?

- Words are overrated.

[sensual music]

- What's the matter?

You regretting it already?

- Mm-mm, it's just-- - What?

Just what?

- Well I've been chasing this horizon for so long,

I wasn't ever sure I'd reach it.

- Well then,

let's rearrange some geography.

[sensual music]

[somber music]

- We're in the clear.

- Do you think it worked?

- Jack was so good he almost convinced me.

- Do you think Mega bought it?

- Yeah, we're on our way Ellie.

We're on our way.
