- Authorities are appealing for calm

throughout the evacuation process.

(African tribal music)

(gentle music)

(heavy machinery rumbles)

- Wow, I got four that time.

How many did you get?

- Two.

- That means I won!

- That means you lose.

You cheated!

- How could I cheat playing stones?

You saw me, I got four.

Don't be such a bad loser.

- You always cheat.

(heavy machinery rumbles)

- You need to warn the village.

The machines are on patrol.

Come on, move!

- I'm not afraid of the machines.

- You would be if you were in the Forbidden Zone.

- Wish I was, better than being here with you cheating.

- I did not!

- You did, I saw you.

- Stop arguing and do as you're told.

The both of you.

Get everyone together on machine alert.

(machinery rumbles)

- Quiet!

Roar yourself, you don't scare me!

(machinery roars)

(machinery rumbles)

- Hurry, we've gotta warn everyone about the machines!

(gentle piano music)

- Hurry, everyone!

Machines are on patrol!

(gentle music)

(machines rumble)

- Hey, you!

(screams)

(horse whinnies)

(gentle music)

(boy shouts in the distance)

- I'm warning you, if you don't let me go ...

You just wait, you'll regret this.

- Hey.

- Get lost.

- What's he done?

Where are you taking him?

- You wanna come too?

- No thanks, just let him go.

- Huh.

- C'mon.

You okay?

- Yeah, thanks.

But I didn't need your help.

- (chuckles) Really?

- Yeah, I could've taken them myself.

- Sure you could've.

See you around.

(gentle guitar music)

- All clear!

I think the machines have stopped patrolling.

Back to your tasks, everyone.

- Erin, Erin, where are you?

- Over here.

Don't come too close, I'm a machine coming to get you.

- If you think that's supposed to scare me ...

- Should we finish our game?

- Got washing up to do.

- I promise I won't accuse you of cheating.

- You always break your promises.

- Only because you cheat.

- Come on.

- [Omar] All clear, everyone.

The machine patrols have stopped.

- Hey, Sal!

Give him a turnip.

- It isn't a he, it's a she.

And she hates turnips, they're horrid.

(gentle music)

- Need some help?

Or are you just having a rest?

- You can untie me.

- Thanks, very kind of you.

Who were your friends?

- You don't know?

- I'm a stranger here.

- They're Warps.

- You okay?

Can you find your way home?

- Of course.

- Yeah, that's right; you don't need any help.

- Where are you going?

- Nowhere special.

- If you wanna meet some real friends, follow me.

(gentle orchestral music)

(karate style grunts)

- Flame?

- What is it?

- These two were out in the Forbidden Zone.

They caught this Ant kid.

On the way back they were attacked.

- Attacked?

By who?

- A stranger.

They've never seen him before.

- Shadow, are you telling me these two Warps

were beaten by just one boy?

- They said he surprised them.

- Really?

Well, I'm going to surprise them too.

Send them to the Camp, they're discarded.

- Discarded?

Are you sure?

- Get rid of them!

(gentle music)

We'll be having to guard ourselves next!

- Dan, we were worried about you!

- Don't be worried about me, Cass.

I can look after myself.

Anything to eat?

I'm starving.

- You missed lunch, serves you right.

And where've you been this time?

And who is this?

- My name's Sky, we met in the forest.

- The forest?

Dan, you've been told about going in there!

- Nobody saw me.

- Dan, you know we don't go into Barblands.

- Why not?

The Barbs have all the best mess to live in.

- They live in the forest.

Only savages live in the forest.

- I like the forest.

- You're not to go there again.

- You should be punished, then maybe you'll listen.

- I think he's been punished enough.

He was captured by two warriors.

- The Warps?

- Dan, you could've been discarded!

- Never!

- Listen, Dan.

If the Warps get a hold of you, that's it.

You're a Discard.

- He was cool.

He could handle them.

With both hands tied.

(gentle music)

- Where have you been?

- Hunting for something to eat for supper.

- Didn't you hear the machines patrolling?

- They weren't anywhere near the woods.

- You hope.

- We didn't see any signs of them, Zora, honest.

- But we did see signs of something else.

- What?

- Not what, who.

- A stranger.

(gentle music)

- Not so hard!

- Sorry, Mistress.

- Idiot Discard.

Don't stop.

- Bad mood, Harmony?

- That Ant boy, he escaped.

That's bad news.

- There's plenty more where he came from.

- Yeah, but if the other tribes

think the Warps can be challenged ...

- Shadow will deal with them.

- But we don't want the Ants and the Barbs

getting ideas, Flame.

If they ganged up ...

- Think we should teach them a lesson?

- Yeah, and I've got a great idea.

- I thought you might.

(gentle guitar music)

- Sky was amazing!

He threw one of the Warps right over his head

and they both ran away.

- I surprised them, that's all.

- That's wonderful, thank you, Sky.

- Yeah well, I'd like to know what

you were doing there in the first place.

- I wasn't doing anything.

- People don't go into the forest for no reason.

- I was just passing through.

It was on my way.

- To where?

- Nowhere special.

- Where have you come from?

- Around.

- How long are you staying?

- If I can have a bed for the night,

I'll be gone in the morning.

- Why, do you have to go?

- Yes, he does.

(dramatic music)

- Shadow!

Give us another chance!

Don't leave us in here.

- No one makes a fool out of Shadow.

(dramatic music)

- Omar's such a bully.

He's always throwing his weight around.

Who does he think he is?

- He's just thinking of the good of the tribe, Dan.

We don't know anything about Sky, do we?

- I do.

He saved me.

I wish he hadn't now, I'd be better of as a Discard.

- Don't be silly.

- I may as well be a prisoner.

Don't go here, don't go there!

The Barbs can go anywhere they like.

- The Barbs are like animals, that's why

they live in the forest

and that's why we shouldn't go in there.

- You're not the boss of me.

(gentle orchestral music)

- Did you talk to him, Cass?

- Yes, but I don't think he was too interested.

- Well, I hope he gets interested

before it's too late.

- Seems Omar doesn't like me.

I don't wanna cause any trouble.

- It's Omar's job to protect us.

We're just farmers.

We came here during the Great Wandering.

We just want peace.

- Do the Warps threaten you?

- No, not here in the camp.

But if people are foolish enough to wander off ...

- Like him?

Faygar was telling me about the Warps.

- Yeah, they're really bad.

- What did Omar mean about Discards?

Who are they?

- If the Warps catch you, they make you a Discard.

A slave.

They make you work really hard all the time

and give you hardly any food.

And if you try to run away,

they'll find you and hurt you.

- I've seen them in other places.

- Some Discards have to serve the Privs.

- The Privs?

- The Privileged.

They make the Discards do everything for them.

They say they even feed them 'cause the Privs are so lazy.

- And who are the Warps?

- The Warps are the warriors for the Privileged.

The Privs, they're the real danger.

- Why can't they just leave people alone?

- Some tribes want more than they have.

So they take it.

- It's not fair, somebody should stop them.

- Don't worry, Dan.

The Ancestor will protect us.

- Who's the Ancestor?

- Don't ask.

(gentle music)

(pipe music plays)

- Faster!

Faster!

Faster!

Faster!

Faster!

Faster, faster, faster, faster!

(people laugh and clap)

Harmony, come and join us, have some fun.

- I am having fun, Flame.

Shadow's ready to go.

- Great, do it!

Show the Ants who's boss around here.

- Looks good, Faygar.

Crops, animals, the Ants have done well.

- Big change from the terrible darkness.

- You don't remember that, do you?

- No, only the stories I heard

during the Great Wandering.

Well, Sky, this is how we live.

What about you?

- What about me?

- How do you live?

- Day by day.

- Where's your home?

- Wherever I am.

- Where are you going?

- Wherever I get to.

- And you wonder why Omar doesn't trust you.

You don't answer straight.

- People would laugh if I told them the truth.

- I won't laugh, tell me.

- I'm looking for my family.

- The Ants are my family.

We're all we have.

(ominous rumbling noise)

- What's that?

- It's the monsters that run the Forbidden Zone.

Haven't you seen them?

- No, I've seen lots of things

but nothing that sounds like that.

- You're lucky, the monsters are deadly.

No one comes out of the Forbidden Zone alive.

- What's that, Omar?

What are you making?

- Wouldn't you like to know.

- Is it for me?

- Not this time.

- Who's it for, then?

- Wait and see.

(gentle music)

Hey, Sal!

Want a turnip for your little pig?

- No, I told you, they're horrid.

We hate them.

- Okay, suit yourself.

You'll be sorry.

- You'll be.

(gentle music)

(fire crackles)

- Why do we have to go to bed so early?

- That's the rule until we're older.

Sweet dreams.

- Or nightmares.

All you have to do is think about the machines.

(owl hoots)

(ominous music)

- There you are, I've been looking everywhere for you.

What did Faygar say?

- What about?

- About you staying here.

- Nothing, I'm leaving tomorrow.

- Why, I'm sure she'd let you stay if you asked her.

- What about Omar?

- Omar doesn't count.

- Looks like he does to me.

- You could beat him.

- I'm not so sure about that.

- You could, I saw you fight that Warp.

- Who says I want to stay?

Dan, what I'm looking for isn't here.

- What are you looking for?

I could help you.

- You?

- Yeah!

I could come with you when you go.

- I don't think so, Dan.

- But I'm so bored living here.

I want to explore!

- And get caught by the Warps again?

- I thought you were different

but you're just like all the others.

(gentle music)

(loud clangs)

- Come and get it!

Hands?

Go on, hurry up and wash.

It'll be all gone!

(children laugh)

Go on, Sky.

There's plenty for you if you want.

- Thanks, Cass, it smells great!

- Omar, it's only for tonight.

- It better be.

- Don't start any trouble, please.

- Oh, I won't

but if he starts some, I'll finish it.

(dramatic music)

- How's your little piggy friend?

- Fine.

- Has he got a name?

- It's a she, not a he.

- Sorry, I forgot.

- Has she got a name?

- She's called Star.

- That's nice.

- She's just like a star, isn't she?

Little and black and fat.

(people laugh gently)

- Almighty Bray.

- [Everyone] Almighty Bray.

- Protect us all from the evil of Zook tonight.

- [Everyone] Protect us all from the evil of Zook tonight.

(gentle music)

- What's this?

I said what's this?

I wanted black grapes, not white.

Shadow?

- Shadow's busy, remember?

- Get this idiot discard out of my sight.

I never want to see him again!

- What's the matter?

It's only a Discard.

I'm bored, Harmony.

- Why not have a contest?

- Egret?

- Master.

- Who would like to challenge my champion?

Come on, it's only for fun.

No one will get hurt.

Low.

(snaps fingers)

Come on, it's just for a laugh.

Well done.

Let the contest begin.

(gentle music)

- Thanks, Cass, this is great.

- Thank you.

- I haven't eaten this well since ...

I can't remember.

- Cass has been given a great gift.

Thank you, mighty Bray.

- [Everyone] Thank you, mighty Bray.

- Where will you go tomorrow, Sky?

- Away from where I came.

- Turnip?

- No, I told you I hate turnips!

- Then you won't want your present.

- What present?

- So that was your secret.

- Yes, some secrets are good.

(ominous music)

- Get ready.

(shouting and cheering)

- Come on, Low.

Low's good.

Yes, but my champion will beat him.

(shouting and cheering)

- No!

- Discard.

- [Girl] What?

- [Girl] I can't believe it!

- Cass, this is the best stew in the whole wide world.

(shouting and whooping)

- What's that?

- We're being attacked!

(screams)

(shouting and screaming)

- Cowards!

- Come on, after 'em!

(shouting and whooping)

- Wait, Omar, stop!

They're back in the forest, it's too dangerous to follow.

(shouting and whooping)

(gentle music)

- We shouldn't be too long.

Remember, Kwarli's in charge while Jag and I have gone,

so you'd better do as he says.

- So you'd better do as he says.

Why does Zora always have to boss us around?

- Because she is boss, she's our leader.

So do as you're told or you'll end up

getting me into trouble, as always.

- Do you remember where we saw the stranger?

- I think so.

- If you can't, Jag, no one can.

You're our best tracker.

- This stranger, he might not be a threat.

- Only one way to find out.

Kwarli, these are our lands.

No one can pass through them without our permission.

Ready?

(gentle music)
