- Authorities are appealing for calm

throughout the evacuation process.

- Ugh.

- Lex get it together, we're supposed to be out on duty.

- Forget it, I ain't going anywhere.

- Yeah and it's worse.

- Ugh, let me see.

- No, keep away from my mouth.

- Don't be such a baby.

Fine, have it your own way sheriff.

Our brave chief of police, stricken down

by a treacherous tooth.

- You wouldn't be laughing so much

if it was happening to you.

- I'm sorry Lex, I know it's serious.

You stay in bed, I'll handle patrol today.

I mean it's pretty rough out there.

- Not really.

It's calmed down a lot since the Technos started

handing out free food.

- Yeah, even so, you're a new face.

- I can cope.

- Yeah, but I--

- Lex, you're in agony, you need to rest.

Trust me, it'll be okay.

This is our land, our food,

you have no business trespassing.

- We're not.

We want to talk.

Negotiate on behalf of the city.

- You're making a big mistake

if you think you can fight us.

- We're not scared.

We'd rather fight than be your slaves.

- I don't wanna destroy you.

You used to trade with the other tribes.

All I want to do is renew the agreement,

terms that suit you.

- Liar.

You just trying to smooth talk us.

Now get out of here, you ain't welcome.

- You don't need to do this.

- Take another step and you're history.

- You're brave, but stupid.

My men will mow you down in a heartbeat.

- We'll take our chances.

- He's right.

These guys have got weapons we haven't dreamt of yet.

- I'm still in charge of the city,

the Technos are my guests.

You, you're on the verge of extinction.

Partners?

- They're reasonable people

and we can learn a lot from them.

Together we can make the city great again.

All they want is for things to get back to normal

like the rest of us, what's the harm in that?

- Just that.

Take one item get another one free.

- Thanks, I'm not buying.

I'm Dee, Lex's deputy.

- Oh, I see.

- No, but I gotta tell ya, things have been tough lately.

Folks are frightened, there ain't no customers.

Profits are low, your 10% ain't gonna add up to much.

- Ah, our local sherif takes a slice of the action.

- Right, and you being his deputy I assumed.

Is it just you or is the whole market

dishing out pocket money?

- Everybody makes a donation.

- I don't want to bleed you dry.

- I'll explain the situation.

You're on your knees, you can't afford it.

We got no option except pay up.

Take it, save us a lot of bother.

- Thanks for spotting me back there,

spared us a lot of trouble.

- I was doing it to save those farmer's lives,

not your reputation for diplomacy.

- I was trying to open a dialogue with them.

- They just weren't listening.

Look here's a tip, people aren't going to trust you

if you introduce yourself by kidnapping

their friends and family.

- I guess not.

You have to realize that it's a

necessary part of our program.

It's unavoidable if we're gonna achieve our goals.

And what are they?

- I'm a hired hand, I follow orders,

get the job done as painlessly as possible.

How painless is it for them?

- Conditions aren't that bad.

The food's okay, I've seen worse.

- Jay, don't beat yourself up.

You were doing what had to be done, I respect that.

When you had the city at your mercy

when you could have gone on the rampage,

you decided to talk.

I wasn't faking it back there.

You're a reasonable guy, someone I could do business with.

- I was giving you back your crown, how could you refuse?

- Well at least you had the intelligence to make the offer.

You saw right away that we could work well together,

that we had an understanding.

- It was a practical decision.

You were obviously the person to deal with.

- Okay, deny it.

Pretend we don't have something good going here.

A certain, chemistry.

It's a marriage of convenience, nothing more.

- It's not even that, Ebony.

- I don't mean to upset you or get Jay into trouble,

but I thought you ought to know.

- I saw them.

They met out front, set off towards the suburbs.

I give him a certain amount of freedom

to make his own decisions, I don't expect him to abuse it.

- Maybe it's Ebony's influence.

- She does have a tremendous effect on men.

- He should be able to resist her.

He's nobodies fool!

- She get's under their skin so easily,

pushes all the right buttons.

And it seems she has Jay in her sights.

Turn him against us?

- I guess we'll see what he's made of.

- Great, just great.

I've got Anthony and Cleopatra on my hands.

- There it is.

Home sweet home.

- Ha, to me it's just another place I'm passing through.

One big hotel.

- Most of them.

- You never feel the urge to put down some roots?

- Maybe, one day.

Yet to find anywhere decent enough to stay in.

- You gonna let Ram choose your final destination?

- No one controls my future.

To come and go as you please?

I envy you that.

You know sometimes I wish I wasn't so tied to the city,

but I can't leave, they wouldn't survive without me.

- How noble of you, such dedication to your duty.

- I left once.

Fled into the hills.

There was a moment there when I could have kept running

further and further into the wilderness, but I turned back.

Was it a guy?

- Ancient history.

But when I'm out like this, with nature all around,

kinda makes me wonder, wouldn't it be easier to quit?

Live the simple life?

With the right person?

- I was trying to walk.

It's too much, my whole head's throbbing.

It's terrible.

- Mm, I don't see any alternative, can't wait any longer.

It's gotta come out.

Relax, it's simple.

One solid yank and it'll be gone.

It's gotta be hanging on by a thread already.

When did you become an expert?

- It's common sense and a bit of brute strength.

Didn't you ever tie a piece of string

around a door handle and pull?

- That was different, they were little baby teeth.

- Lex we're talking 30 seconds intense pain, maximum.

Then it's over.

You can get back to being sheriff.

How long can you afford to sit around doing nothing

before the rumors spread?

- Tongues are already wagging.

They've taken Lex.

Lex is history.

- I neither confirmed nor denied.

- Then go back out there and tell them I'm fine!

- But you're not!

It won't take a second, promise.

- Okay.

Okay.

- Strangest thing happened to me

while I was down the market.

The traders kept offering me loot and stuff for free.

Maybe they liked your face.

- They wanted me to give it all to you.

Said they had to.

- Oh that is strange.

- Don't Lex, I'm not a complete idiot.

You're taking kick backs from all of them.

Alright, let's get this over with.

- I.

Well hello baby, woo!

- Hey!

- I have to say, I'm impressed by the scale

of your operation.

Citywide.

Not exactly legal.

- You're right, I'll stop right away.

- Don't worry Lex.

I wouldn't dream of using these pliers.

- Whew.

- These will be much more effective.

- No way!

Be loyal to my boss.

Or do I do what's right?

Administer justice.

- Anything you like just keep those things away from me!

I get 50%.

- Seems fair, partner.

- I set it up, I do all the work,

you waltz in and take 50?

Good.

Then we can begin.

Open wide.

- Ah!

- Gotcha!

- Good, you've isolated the glitch in the binary sequence

which was jamming the program.

Excellent work.

Well done.

Leave us, we'll chat later, you've got other errands to run.

That's close enough.

People tell me that you're poisonous.

- Only to my enemies.

- Which includes me.

- Not at the moment, no.

So blatantly, so openly, for all the world to see?

- I didn't!

- You were out and about with Jay,

talking to farmers side by side like equals.

- Jay was in charge, I was only there to back him up!

- He doesn't need your help!

You're our puppet, not our ambassador.

Besides it offends me to think of my best officer

working so closely with a vert.

- He asked me along, I couldn't refuse.

- Next time you can, on my orders.

You're to keep your contact with Jay

to an absolute minimum, understood?

Excuse me.

What have you done?

These equations are absolute nonsense,

they'll reverse everything.

You moron!

How could you be so stupid?

You're fired.

- Nothing.

- You've got enough energy bars to feed an army.

- Charlie was starving.

- Got hungry again.

- Typical junk food, fills you up quick,

instant satisfaction, and burns off within a nano-second

then you're hungry again.

Surprise, surprise.

All you want to eat is another energy bar.

You gotta listen to Pride.

Natural foods are a lot better for you.

I'm gonna have to take them away from you.

- I'm locking them up.

They're gonna be strictly rationed from now on.

- No, you're off the hook this time.

He'd probably be a lot more angry than I am.

I just wish he'd come back home.

- It all looks in good condition.

We should be able to get power up to the city in no time.

What was that?

- It came from over there!

Hey!

You three go down there.

The rest of you come with me!

- You made it at last!

- Please, be gentle, I'm not feeling too good.

- You poor thing.

- Yeah, it hurt like anything.

It was a struggle just to get here.

- Come and sit down next to me.

I'll kiss it better.

- Babe I'd love to get cozy and all,

but truly I'm not fit.

I'm weak, nauseous, I could vomit any second.

Making excuses?

You don't fancy me anymore and you're

trying to let me down gently.

Honey, if I had the strength,

believe me we'd be having serious fun now.

- We don't have to do anything, we can just cuddle.

Can you grasp that?

I'm sick.

- You're crazy.

You think I mutilated myself just

to get out of our date?

You're hot, and when I recover we're on.

- I risk my neck coming here.

Do you know what Ram would do to us if he found out?

- Sure.

He may even forgive me, but you?

A bird who dares to seduce his woman?

Horrible.

- Depends.

- If we split up I'll get upset and who knows what I'll say?

I'm sick, that's all.

I'm not dumping you.

- Yeah, right.

- You come with me, you search the main plant.

Keep searching, I want him found!

Spread out!

- Lex is still out of action and I thought you should know.

- It's his tooth.

- Oh, that.

- It's out, but there's still a chance of infection.

- I was wondering if you could get hold

of any painkillers or antibiotics?

- But with your Techno connections I thought maybe...

- I could stroll in there and demand medicine?

When every time I go there I'm lucky to escape with my life?

- Not particularly, but you obviously do.

I've seen Lex go through every kind of illness,

self-inflicted injury, and disaster you can think of.

He's as strong as an ox and blessed with the luck of a fool.

He'll be fine.

Anything else?

Then get back to your duties.

Make Lex proud.

Leave me alone, leave me be.

- He's just a tramp, leave him.

Who are you?

Got no name, don't need one.

Long as I can remember.

No one bothers me here.

Rats, mice, insects,

whatever the spiders don't take.

- Give him your energy bar.

Now I suggest you pack up your things and leave,

we're moving in.

No, no, no!

- Trust me, you don't want to stay here.

We're gonna be changing this place,

all these machines working again.

You remember electricity?

Yeah, pretty awesome.

Leave as soon as you can.

Next time I come here I don't want to see you, okay?

- Who else have you been going on

long romantic country walks with?

- That was business.

- You left without asking me.

Without my consent.

- I'm sorry, but I didn't think

I needed to check everything with you first.

- So you give them back the power to feed themselves?

- Under our control, our supervision.

- Nothing.

How was this afternoon?

- Good.

It was exactly what we've been looking for.

It needs some work, but it's in good condition.

Give us a few days and it'll be ready.

- None.

- You better be right.

I don't want anything interfering with this operation.

It's vital, absolutely vital.

- Salene!

- Pride!

Last I was getting really worried.

What happened to you?

- I followed Jay to the edge of town,

some old power station.

I think they're gonna try and switch it back on,

return to the bad old days!

Electricity, pollution!

- Well that's gonna have to wait,

we've got a more immediate problem.

Lex is seriously ill.

- Lex talk to me, say something.

God what have I done?

- Let me have a look.

When did you remove it?

- This morning.

- Have plenty of time for infection to spread.

- I don't know.

I guess it could be blood poisoning from the abscess.

If I'm right, he could die.
