- Authorities are appealing for calm

throughout the evacuation process.

[ominous music]

- What did he say?

- He's my brother.

[Ebony laughs]

- Slade you're gonna have to do better than that.

- It's the truth, I wouldn't joke about this.

- Mega, your brother?

It still doesn't change what you did to me.

You had this coming. - Ebony, don't!

You stay out of this.

- Go on!

Remember how he set you up?

Show Slade what you're made of!

- I'm begging you!

- Power and chaos!

- No!

- Hey, you've got Mega, fantastic.

- Put him in the cage. - Payback time.

- [Amber] Yeah take him away.

[somber music]

- I've been meaning to ask you

something that's been on my mind.

It's not about Mega, he seems pretty under control now.

It's about something else.

- Fire away.

- How could a Techno genius like Ram

save you, and not Jay?

- What are you saying?

- I'm not saying anything, just curious.

Now we've got Mega we have to

make sure Ram is on our side.

[gentle guitar music]

[birds chirping]

[kids shouting]

- Isn't it great to be back in the city?

- [Ruby] I didn't bring my camera.

- Yeah well, I think you should just enjoy it, Ruby.

I mean the checkpoints are deserted,

and Mega's dweebs are running around like chickens.

- What's a dweeb?

- I'll tell you later.

- So what do you think guys?

Did the city miss me?

- Yeah like a hole in the head.

[kids shouting]

- I'm scared.

- Yeah me too.

Sorry to interrupt the great man's gloating,

but don't you think we should get off the street?

- Sure, which way to the mall Lottie?

- I'll show you.

[somber music]

- Okay Darryl, you can take off the handcuffs.

[somber music]

- Remember me huh?

They want me.

Not so high and mighty now.

Nothing to say for yourself?

- The Mega suite.

Feel free to try room service.

[somber music]

Well well, look who's here.

I hope the accommodation

meets sir's needs for his dear brother.

You should check it out.

You might be in there too if you're brothers in arms.

- This is fine I guess.

It's probably the best place for him right now.

- Until you decide the next part of your plan huh?

What else are you gonna spring on us?

- Don't push me, Lex.

[somber music]

- Come on Jay, it's me Amber.

- Amber?

- Yes!

We've just won back the city.

Remember Mega?

- Come on.

He'll be all right.

- Really?

I don't see much evidence of that happening.

- It'll just take time.

Maybe it'll come back to him gradually,

or maybe we'll find a cure for him.

- That's a lot of maybes, Salene.

And there's only one person who knows for certain, Ram.

[gentle guitar music]

- I don't understand.

- What part?

Read my lips, Slade and Mega are brothers.

- How do you know that?

- Oh for Pete's sake, Slade himself said so.

- Well what do you mean, he works for the Technos?

- Who knows?

- I don't get it.

Slade saved me from Mega.

- He is as slippery as a rattlesnake in Jell-O,

and now he's teamed up with that witch Ebony

and the whole city is up for grabs.

- But Mega's finished, we're safe aren't we?

- Mega, Slade, Ebony.

They make you feel safe,

and who knows what they're after?

- [Ram] Maybe you.

- Well well, I thought there was a funny smell around.

- Same old Lex eh?

Plenty of mouth and pity about the brain.

You guys really shouldn't listen to this one.

- Why not?

- Because, whatever you think of me,

Slade is still the one that helped me take Mega out.

I mean how do you think the Techno systems were trashed huh?

- Jack's the one who's got the core disc.

- Sure, what can you do with a disc alone?

Play Frisbee?

Look, if it weren't for Slade,

then Mega would still be king of the roost, no doubt.

- Maybe.

But then anyone who hangs out with you

has to be dodgy.

- And didn't you spend some time

with me, working on your little casino scam?

But then I guess that makes your point, doesn't it Lex?

- Okay okay, this is a time for a celebration.

- Well if you don't mind, I'm gonna make tracks then.

Kind of got some of my own celebrations to conduct.

[emotional music]

- I do not trust him.

- [Ruby] Hiya May.

- Hey.

Welcome to the mall.

You made it in one piece.

- Hi, I'm Sammy.

I'll show you around eh?

- Has anyone seen Ebony?

I mean I don't...

Hi.

- Hi.

- How you doing?

- Well not bad, considering.

- Good.

I gotta go.

I'll catch up with you later yeah?

[emotional music]

- Looks like you and me took

the same course in failed relationships.

- Big time.

[emotional music]

- Howdy Technos.

I'm home!

- Ram.

- No, it's your master.

Where is everyone?

- Prisoners of war.

- Not for long.

Think I might have them released,

you know let bygones be bygones and all of that.

Well my old friend, we are back in business.

- Is the war over?

- Oh no.

It hasn't even begun.

- Hey, listen.

- Listen to what?

More lies?

- Look I know--

- You don't know nothing!

Why didn't you tell me the truth?

- Well I was gonna but I--

- Yeah, you were so hot for me.

I'll do anything for you, Ebony.

That didn't stop your lying.

- I didn't lie.

I just wasn't ready to reveal everything.

- Anything more like!

- Listen to me.

- It better be good.

- I've been searching for my brother, Josh.

He joined the Technos and disappeared.

For months I couldn't find anything,

until I came across our good friend Ram.

Now he was pure Techno,

but his technology wasn't helping him now.

By taking care of Mr. Easygoing,

I found out what a pain in the butt he could be,

but I also found out that this Mega

I'd heard about was Josh, so I knew that--

- Look, I hate to spoil your golden reminiscence,

but big deal!

You still shouldn't have kept it from me!

- Hey you wanted to hear the truth, Ebony.

So just listen to me.

[somber music]

- Ah, that hurt cow!

- Hey Amber, did you know we've got a thief in the mall?

- What?

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

- Shut up!

She's been thieving from my room.

- I haven't! - You have!

- Haven't! - Have!

- Okay, I have had enough of both of you.

Lottie you've only been here five minutes,

and already you're causing nothing but trouble.

- But-- - No buts!

Shape up!

- Yeah.

- And as for you, little madam,

do you think your accessories

are the center of the universe?

Don't be so petty!

- Yeah, don't be so petty.

[Lottie squeals]

- Hey Jack, about Ram.

What's he up to?

- Yeah, well there's only one person who knows that,

and that's Ram himself.

- Well, we need to know if we can trust him.

We should go and check him out.

- Okay.

[ominous music]

[Ram sighs]

- Decent hardware.

All right, wakey wakey rise and shine.

[keyboard clacking]

Now.

Okay little buddy, can you hear me?

- [Computer] Hear you loud and clear mate.

- How are you feeling today?

- [Computer] I feel, I feel strange.

So many new systems.

- That's right, my friend.

Lots of new systems for you to play with.

All right, time to take a look at you.

[dramatic music]

Welcome to the fun house, Zooty!

[camera whirring]

- I couldn't confront Mega, okay?

- Why not?

- 'Cause of what had happened between us.

He was too far gone, too powerful!

- If you say so.

- Oh what you think he'd just give it up

'cause I dropped in to say hello?

I worked with Ram to overthrow Mega,

to try and save Josh from himself.

[keyboard clacking]

[camera whirring]

And here we are.

- That's a sweet story.

I'm very very happy for you!

- Ebony!

[emotional music]

- How you doing Zooty?

Coming to grips with the network?

- I think so Ram.

The pathways are expanding.

- Thattaboy.

- I like to learn, Ram.

I like to have control.

- I thought you would.

That's what Ram made you for.

- Who are you talking to Ram?

- Oh, I was just gabbing while I work you know?

- Come on Ram, you're hiding something.

Now who was it?

- Oh come on Jack, this is getting boring.

Just drop it okay?

- Tertiary circuits circuits are fully operational Ram.

[emotional music]

- What have you created?

- All in good time, Jack.

- Now is a good time.

Tell us!

- Sorry, no can do.

[emotional music]

- Really?

Want your hardware rearranged?

- Please, put that down.

- Now Ram do you want to tell us what you're up to

or is it bath time for baby?

[somber music]

- Ebony!

Hey!

I told you the truth, what's the problem?

- No problem, obviously.

I mean you found your brother, didn't you?

- Well yeah.

- Well your plan worked!

I guess you had to do what you did.

- Yeah but-- - No I'm happy for you really!

Now why don't you just butt out?

- Hey listen to me!

- What was I, huh?

Another convenient tool for getting to

Mega or Josh or whatever you want to call him?

- Look I--

- I guess I was pretty useful to you wasn't I?

- Okay, okay.

I won't lie to you.

Yeah, at first I thought you could be useful.

- You're scum, you know that?

- Well you weren't exactly sold on me

from the word go.

You tried to lock me up.

- Oh save it Slade!

- So maybe I did have other things on my mind,

but then I fell for you, big time.

And that wasn't in the plan.

[emotional music]

- [Zoot] Engaging the Citynet now, Ram.

- Good boy.

It's a form of artificial intelligence.

- Go on.

- Well it can think for itself, it can learn for itself,

and it integrates with Mega's systems.

- Which systems?

- Power, Citynet, security, the works.

- Wait a minute, you're saying

you've given this thing complete control of the network?

- Well yeah, absolutely.

That's what it's for.

I mean it can manage the systems

far more efficiently than we can

with integrated understanding.

[computer beeping]

- What is that?

- [Ram] Um.

[dramatic music]

- Zoot?

You've given it Zoot's face, are you insane?

- Come on.

It's just a joke right?

I've gotta have my fun.

- There's fun and there's plain sick.

Placing everything around us

in the hands of your, your cyber child!

[emotional music]

[beatboxing poorly]

♪ Power and chaos I played the role of Zoot ♪

♪ Power and chaos I caught everyone on the wrong foot ♪

♪ Power and chaos anyone recognize me ♪

♪ Power and chaos never believe in all you see ♪

- Hey, that was great.

- It was wasn't it?

With a little bit of rehearsal I could do it better.

I could make the words come alive!

- Now that's real talent.

- Absolutely yeah, that's talent.

- And that's why I'm taking control of Darryl,

managing his career

in his Zoot tribute show.

- Yeah.

- You think that's a good idea?

- What are you talking about?

Of course it's a good idea.

My audience awaits.

And they'll love it.

- And so will you and me, Sammy.

Depending of course what we all make out of it.

- Zoot!

[gentle guitar music]

- Hey, what is it with you?

Abuse a computer day?

- I want some answers.

What did you do to Jay?

- Oh let me see, I was the one who tried to save him.

- That's not the question!

Did you fix it so only I would escape?

- What are you saying?

- Did you let Jay's mind get wiped on purpose?

- What is that what you think?

- All right don't act like Jay was your best buddy,

now did you do it?

- No!

I mean I busted my guts to save both you and Jay.

The whole thing's thrown together in such a rush.

If you ask me, it was a miracle

that anyone got out in one piece.

- Well if that's true, there's one clear way to prove it.

You can find a cure for Jay.

- Oh, you're crazy.

- No, no she's right.

You like to play the genius,

now you can show us how much of a genius you really are.

- That sounds almost like a challenge.

- Yeah, one you better not lose.

- Okay, okay,

but I can't do anything without Jay

so bring him to me.

[somber music]

[camera whirring]

- Sisters reunited.

Power and chaos.

- [All] Woo!

[somber music]

- You know moody silences make you sexy,

but this is getting ridiculous.

- Interesting story you told.

- Well it's all true.

- I'm sorry for giving you a hard time.

- Look, if I'd been betrayed as many times as you

I'd have done the same.

What is it?

- I was just thinking about my sisters.

I mean at least you and your brother

don't go for the throat.

- I don't know I think Josh

would've liked to waste me quite a few times.

- Yeah Josh, sounds so harmless when you call him that.

- I think underneath it all

he's just a frightened kid, like most of us.

- Hold on, let's not go too far.

I refuse to feel sorry for the guy, but--

- But what?

- Well, maybe I won't get rid of him

now that I know he's family.

- Whoa, Ebony giving up on revenge?

I'm a lucky guy.

- Just remember, you owe me slave time.

[emotional music]

[keyboards clacking]

- Are you sure this won't make him worse?

Hello Ram, I said are you sure--

- Look Amber, we have a choice here.

I can either take a couple of months out

to give you a crash course on neuroelectronic interface,

or you can let me do what I'm trying to do for you here.

- But there's a risk.

- Yeah there's always a risk.

- Hey, what's going on?

- Just a few more minutes, Jay.

- Jack, you set?

- Yeah just a bit wait, there finished.

- Excellent.

Well it's time to take little Jay back to school.

[emotional music]

[baby crying]

- He's shaking.

- Of course, his neurons are going like popcorn.

[voices chattering]

[gentle piano music]

- Right what do we do now?

- Sh, just let Amber do her stuff.

- Jay?

Do you recognize me?

- Amber.

I feel so weird.

- Jay! - Wait.

Just take it easy all right?

Keep talking.

- Jay, you've been away for a while.

- Amber?

I feel...

I feel...

So who are you?

- No, Jay, please stay with me, please.

[emotional music]

- Enjoying it in there?

Listen, I've been thinking.

There's no point in you and I

being at each other's throats.

Because right now you are

one of the most hated people in the city.

I think you need a friend.

- With friends like you Lex, who needs enemies?

- Yeah, well you've got tons of those, Mega.

I can help you.

- How?

- You have information.

I have a key.

That sounds like a fair trade to me.

[gentle guitar music]

[computer beeping]

- You think it worked this time?

- Well there's one sure way

to find out, go ahead Jack.

- Jay, do you recognize me?

- What?

- What is this Ram?

- Excuse me?

- How long are you gonna string me along?

How many games to cover up your lies?

- Amber-- - Shut up Jack.

- Look I'm trying to help you here and what do I get?

Accusations, accusations, accusations everywhere!

- You're a magnet for it Ram,

and you wanna know why?

Because you are a lying, treacherous scum!

- Guys please?

- This is the thanks I get.

If it weren't for me, you'd be like him.

- Like what Ram?

[emotional music]

Hang on Ram, Jack, what are you guys

doing in the city anyway?

Where's Mega, he was gonna fry us.

- No it's safe, Mega's gone.

But are you really back?

Do you know who I am?

- Amber what are you talking about?

[emotional music]

- I think that somebody might owe me an apology.
