- Authorities are pleading for calm

throughout the evacuation process.

- Nothing works around here.

Just like before the technos came.

I don't know.

The virus I uploaded could have affected City Net

but the whole power grid?

Not likely.

Who is he saying attacked the electricity supply?

- Is there a species in the world quite

so predictable as the vote?

- I had a goldfish once.

- And did he get angry, say, when you didn't feed it?

- I don't know.

How do you spot an angry goldfish?

- You've seen what's happened.

- Activists whom you should have been aware of.

- Well I'll make sure I get their email addresses.

- If this place didn't have backup,

I'd be off line now.

Your incompetence means I have to work hard

to restore the power.

I think the least you can do is get out there

and restore the peace.

- I'll take my men.

- No you will not.

This is avert unrest due to avert sabotage.

I want avert solution, City Leader.

- Well, when can I tell them when the power

will be restored?

- Tell them when the activists who turned it off are caught.

- Be my guest.

Personally, I enjoy breathing.

They are working on a solution

to the power crisis now.

Electricity is your basic right.

Help us to restore things to normal by finding

the activists who perpetrated this outrage.

- I'm suspicious but aren't they a bit quick off the mark?

- We want power!

We want power!

- Only somebody as devious as Ram could have

thought of this.

- Caligula, he did it.

- He was a Roman emperor, got the people hooked

on a really luxurious lifestyle.

Then, he brought the shutters down on it all.

Just like that.

- People couldn't cope.

They starved, tried to hurt themselves.

Everything fell to pieces.

- I can't see that making him very popular.

- No, but when he gave it all back to them,

they made him a God.

- Are you saying that Ram has got the same idea in mind?

- I don't know, maybe.

- We want power!

We want power, we want power!

- You're not gonna try talking to them.

- Well, have you got any other suggestions?

- We want power, we want power!

We want power, we want power!

We want power, we want power!

- Listen to me, all of you.

Listen to me.

This is getting you nowhere.

- The power will be restored.

They're working on it now.

- And how do we know it hasn't been wrecked?

Yeah!

Help us to restore things to normal

by finding the activists who perpetrated this outrage.

- Let's have it, you know who they are.

Yeah, she knows who they are.

Tell us, tell us!

- No.

- Let's get you out of here.

Get her back to the mall.

- Oh hi, Lex.

A girl beat you.

- Yeah, nice to see you too.

- Face it, Lex.

Your performance was pre level stuff.

No wonder she kicked your vert butt.

- Yeah, maybe now you know how Ved felt when you jumped him.

- Here, drink this.

Are you feeling better now?

I'm just glad I got there in time.

- Thanks.

- He knew you'd be at risk.

He knew it and he still sent you.

- It was a punishment for saying no to him.

- He'll keep asking you to marry him.

You know that.

But don't worry, I'll be there for you.

- I know you will.

- Ram asks that you report to him immediately.

- I'm coming with you.

- No.

- I don't care if--

- No, Jay.

If you are seen supporting me too much,

he's gonna put two and two together.

When the time comes, you've gotta come

charging right out of left field.

- It's always the ones you don't see coming.

- Well, of course it is.

If you saw it coming, you'd duck.

- You know what I mean.

- Thanks.

- Excuse me.

I really wouldn't do that if I were you.

If you don't mind me saying.

Lying down.

- I didn't know it offended you.

- That's not what I mean.

You really shouldn't sleep too much after a knock

on the head.

- That's when blood clots can form.

When you're inactive, you should try and encourage

your circulation.

A lap around the mall?

- No, nothing that strenuous.

Just keep moving.

- I know, you're an ambulance officer.

- Oh no, it's just a hobby of mine, medicine.

- Ow! - Sorry!

I'm so sorry.

- Patch!

- Yes, sorry.

- Leave, please now.

- I had such high hopes for you, Ebony.

I was told that you were perfect for the job

of City Leader.

You see, the thing is with the power loss

and well, things they don't look too good.

I don't know if I can justify keeping you

in your position.

- I'm going to have to let you go, I'm sorry.

- Fine.

Of course, you didn't think you were being

that clever, did you?

Well, you probably think that I've planned this too.

But honestly, it's just occurred to me now.

What better time?

What better time to accept my proposal of marriage?

It'd be perfect.

- I thought I made it clear--

- You're forgetting.

I don't accept no for an answer.

Think about it, Ebony.

In one swift move, you could climb to the top

of the tree.

- The view is just fine from where I'm standing, thanks.

You see, being an old-fashioned girl,

blackmail never has struck me as being the best way

to a woman's heart.

I'd say you've a little way to go yet

before I'm convinced that your slippers and mine

should sit side by side in the hearth, okay?

By the way, my resignation.

From the date, you'll see I wrote it out a week ago.

What's with this?

Go home?

- Go home and wait for an announcement on City Net.

The power is off.

- But it's coming back on.

- Hi.

- Nothing, I'm bored.

- You're bored.

- When we've shifted this lot.

What are you doing?

- The sooner they're gone,

the sooner you're off duty, right?

- When you're ready.

- Welcome back.

In just a few moments, Ram himself will be

beaming through an important announcement.

- Hi there, and welcome back.

Panic over, but seriously,

first of all, I'd like to ask your help

in tracking down the criminals who attempted to deprive you

of your right to live a more civilized life.

- If you have any information, anything at all that

will help us track down the activists,

then let us know and we'll appreciate it.

Now some sad news.

Regretfully, due to a failure to prevent

what happened from happening, I have found it

necessary to remove your City Leader, Ebony, from office.

Thank you, Ebony, for all your hard work in the past.

Now, in true democratic fashion,

I'm throwing the post open to anyone,

anyone who is interested.

All you have to do is apply.

- This man's a genius.

- Every nutter in the city will apply for that.

- But hey, enough of the heavy stuff.

This station is about having fun

and keeping you informed, of course.

I have a very important secret to share with you all.

At precisely 2:00, you'll love it.

So be there.

Miss it and weep.

- We've cut.

- Three nil, to Ram.

He arranges the blackout and he gets the backing

of the people, a savior status when he switches it

back on and an excuse to sack Ebony.

- Gets him a City Leader he can manipulate.

- That could be where he's mistaken.

Well, it depends who gets the job, doesn't it?

- You know the applications for Ebony's post

are coming in already.

- The power of television.

- The democratic way, of course.

By choosing the most harmless of the egotists

who applied.

- You know I'm glad you've seen Ebony for what she is.

- Not if she can help it.

She's always covering, always hedging her bets.

- But if anybody really knows Ebony, it's you, right?

- Top to bottom, side to side.

- She seems so strong.

She must have some weakness.

- Oh yes, one.

- Then tell me, I mean, now that she's gone.

I'm curious.

- Ebony's most insecure when it comes to the men

in her life.

I've seen her so jealous, she hasn't eaten for days.

- Jealous.

- She had this boyfriend once.

Her first, he dumped her and I don't know exactly

how it happened, but she ... Ram?

- Something I forgot to do.

- I got you this.

- Embrocation, it's good for swelling.

- Oh, right.

- Rub it in three times a day.

A crepe bandage might help.

Only, I don't have one.

- Well, I guess one out of two ain't bad.

Thanks.

- Lex!

I've been meaning to see you.

Listen, that fight you and Sever, you had her licked.

What happened?

- I got stitched.

- I reckon I earned a rematch at least.

- Right on.

- Next time, it's gonna be different.

How's your head?

- A little better.

- I hate Amber.

She and I, we were always enemies.

It was me who banished her from the city.

She's my worst nightmare.

- There is something you need to know.

I'm applying for City Leader.

- There's not much chance I'll be chosen,

but it is worth a try.

I'm doing it.

It's a good way to get on the inside.

Know more about Ram's plans.

- Yeah and maybe get yourself wiped out for good.

- I don't remember that stopping you

when you took on the power station?

- This is different.

Look, Pride, I know what I'm doing.

I've faced up to danger ever since I've arrived

at this mall, since before then.

Besides, I might be able to do some good

as City Leader.

I guess you don't agree with me.

- It's not that.

- I just couldn't live with myself if anything

happened to you.

- Nothing's gonna happen, Pride.

I probably won't even get the job.

Ram's not stupid enough to give it to me.

- You're wrong.

He's not smart enough.

- I couldn't just leave things as they were.

- No, give me one last chance.

- Give me one last chance to show you

that we could be happy together.

Don't just take my word for it.

Let me show you.

- Just come over here and have a look at this.

- There she is, she did this to me.

Let me in, I've got something to say to her.

- Ram, I want to speak to him.

- Yeah, what's so important that Ram should bother

himself with a has

- I'm the best he'll ever have.

Is that what it's all about, Lex?

You want your job back?

- I can beat anybody in a fair fight.

I could swing it for you.

- Yeah, well it's about time somebody saw sense.

It'd help if you said please.

- I want the chance to fight again.

- Please, Java.

- Sorry, Lex, we don't take losers.

- This is Burra and Carlos.

He's my head of encryption.

They got married last year and this is what

they did on their honeymoon.

Do you believe that?

And this is Ved and his lady,

ex-lady love, she was into hoverboarding and all that.

Don't you ever want those fantasies to come true?

With me, they could.

Now, this couple here, they circled the planets.

I mean, the planets, everything is possible for anyone.

- This is a waste of time.

And these two went swimming with the dolphins.

As dolphins.

The one on the left, that's Rena, Burra's cousin.

That's about it.

I can see you're impressed.

You're just one little word away from the realization

of all your dreams.

Think about it.

Hi, once again.

Kids, there's no need to remind you of how far

we've come in just a few short weeks.

All of you right now are benefiting from the

wonderful technology that I've been able

to bring you.

Well, that's only the start.

I'm aware of what you need and I'm going to make sure

that you get it, all, starting right now.

Are you ready for my biggest gift so far?

Stand by and here it comes.
