- Authorities are appealing for calm

throughout the evacuation process.

- Well, lookie here.

Verts will have their fun, eh Jay?

Oh, come on.

Isn't this what you wanted?

Water, the cornerstone of your benevolent scheme, for free.

Aren't you in the least bit excited?

- Of course.

- Oh.

You don't sound excited.

You definitely don't look excited.

- I'm excited.

- Thank you, Ram, for delivering what

Jay wanted to the verts.

You see?

I can keep my promises.

Because I'm an honest, trustworthy,

and all around excellent guy.

Just like you, Jay.

- I'm delighted that the city's got water supply.

You kept your promise and I'm grateful.

- So you should be.

Now, we clean up this sewer of a city,

get rid of all the badness and filth.

What do you say?

- Oh.

It's you.

- I just wanted to let you know

that I think Ram may be onto us.

Oh, you and me, right.

Well then there's a problem.

I guess it's like you said.

When you tried to break it off?

Too dangerous, you said.

- I was trying to protect you.

Why are you bringing that up now?

Ebony, what's going on?

What's happening?

- Nothing.

And everything.

- Tell me.

- Just that I've been thinking

that maybe you were right.

Maybe it's time to call it a day.

You said we'd be together.

But it seems that you've got

other things on your mind.

What are you talking about?

- I hear the water's back on.

So, if you'll excuse me,

I think I might take a bath.

Good afternoon and here are

the shortlisted candidates for the election of city leader.

- Excellent.

Marco has been selected

as the Roosters candidate.

Next up, Orphans candidate, Slime.

Billy Boy is standing for the Jackals.

And for the Mall Rats, we have Salene.

Have you seen the nominees?

- Some choice.

Who's this?

She doesn't belong.

- That's the whole point.

Remember those bunch of sickos

they all talk about, the Chosen?

The ones who worship that kid on those posters.

- Yeah, Zoot.

He sounds like a decent sort.

Wish I'd met him.

- She moved over to them.

- She's a pushover.

Look at these others.

They'll double crush you as soon as look at you.

Best of the bunch.

- Could be rusty pipes.

- Might be good to let the taps run for awhile.

- A lot better.

A bit of a headache that comes and goes

but I guess that's to be expected.

- Well, if you must take on the Technos single handed--

- I was trying to protect Ebony.

I can't believe she's been stripped

from being city leader.

- She'll bounce back.

One way or another, she always does.

- Are you sure you're up for

going back out onto the streets?

- I'd rather be out there than

sitting about feeling sorry for myself.

Besides, we can't have Lex getting

too trigger happy on the perks trail.

What do you mean?

- You know Lex.

He thinks he's protecting the traders.

Yeah right.

At a price.

Calls it his commission.

- Sounds like the Lex we know and love.

I'm gonna tell her.

- No, me.

No, I'm older.

- Hey, wait, wait, wait.

Tell me what?

- You're selected.

There's been a big announcement.

- Yes, we've got to vote, come on.

- I can't believe it.

- I can.

You've got a lot to offer.

And finally, if you want to vote for Salene,

click on her photo now.

- Look, we can vote from here.

Just in time.

- Don't bank on it.

I was lucky enough to be selected.

I'm not gonna win, am I?

- Looks like you're in with a chance.

Salene, Salene, Salene, Salene!

- Pride, I won.

- Congratulations.

- Haven't we had enough of these

meddling Mall Rats already?

- Hmm, well, the city needs a leader

and she's the perfect choice.

Low profile, low key, low maintenance.

Someone that won't interfere with phase four.

A perfect leader for a perfect democracy.

- She probably gave Amber a hiding place

while they all plotted against you.

- Java found no evidence of that.

I'm sure Salene's up to the job.

- At least she's female.

- Yeah, so was Ebony.

- Who voted for the shopping mall housewife anyway?

- Well, let's just say I cast more votes than anyone.

- Of course I rigged it.

Haven't you been listening to a word I've said?

She was the obvious choice.

Now.

If you'll excuse me,

I'm expected at a meeting.

Java, follow me.

- A proud democracy.

- The city leader.

- Ah.

You must be Salene.

- Yep.

- We've heard a lot of about you, haven't we, Java?

Yes, I'm sure we'll get along fine.

You just have to look at us

as your friends, you know.

I mean, you may be a vert but

you'll find that when it comes

to the smooth running of our operation,

we can be remarkably tolerant

with those who are, say,

less fortunate than we are.

I thought you might like this

as a token offering of our good will.

It's got all the latest.

- No, I don't want any gifts from you.

Thank you.

Some people might consider that as a bribe.

I'm sure you understand.

- Ah yes, well.

- I have a short list of objectives

that I feel the city desperately needs.

- Like schools and hospitals

and our own public news service.

Communication is vital and will help maintain peace.

- No, my list is sufficient for now.

Well you have City Net,

which communicates several times a day.

- I'm talking about something for the people.

The verts.

A news board with information and events.

- Local news after the daily bulletin.

It could work but schools and hospitals.

We don't have that kind of resource.

- I know you do.

I mean, you must have.

Even Technos get sick, don't they?

Please, Ram, I'm asking you for the people.

- Don't tell me about the people.

Thanks to me, they've been fed,

kept warm, entertained.

- Thanks to you, half of them have

lost their loved ones.

Friends, family, people have long memories.

You've got a lot of making up to do.

- If you ever speak to Ram like that again.

- And if I gave you a hospital and a school,

tell me, what about doctors, teachers?

- I'll find people who are up to the tasks.

Health and education are fundamental rights.

And if we want to rebuild society,

those rights have to be in place.

- Hmm, how every laudable of you.

How can I possibly refuse?

- Ah, Salene.

Best not believe everything you hear about me.

I'm not an ogre.

And yes, I agree.

Because as you so succinctly put it,

these are fundamental rights.

Great.

Miss Goody Two Shoes.

We'll never hear the last of it.

Will you accept Ram's offer now?

Skulking around corners.

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

Fine by me.

- If you mean me and Lex, it's over.

- Kinda looked that way

when you trashed him in the fight.

Okay, Siva, here's the deal.

What would you do if someone close to you

was thinking about, you know, someone else?

- You mean if Lex was--

- Fantasizing about other women.

- I wish.

- If that's all he did, then fine.

- Sure, I mean, guys are different, aren't they?

- If you give a guy a present,

he's going to unwrap it.

Especially if he thinks he can get away with it.

Someone upset you?

Like Jay, for example?

- This is hypothetical.

- Well, if he didn't actually do anything,

I mean, you can't stop people thinking stuff.

- I guess not.

So we just sit back and accept it?

- I'd put up with it.

After all, guys can't help themselves, can they?

But Lex, he went too far.

I can't forgive that.

I won't forgive that.

- Yeah.

You're right.

- Yep, the light's better back here.

- No, not the desk.

I mean Ram's phony promises.

- Why not, it could happen.

He promised them to Jay.

- Exactly.

I'll leave you to your city leader business.

- Thanks, Pride.

- City leader, Salene.

I guess I should be saying congratulations.

- Yes Lex, you should.

- I want to talk about policing.

There has to be an emphasis

on delivering a good service to the city.

So, I've decided to promote Dee to sheriff.

- Lex, you will work under her.

- No, you heard what I said perfectly.

- You gonna give me a good reason for this?

- Yeah.

I don't approve of kickbacks,

blackmail, or any other kind of protection racket.

- I don't want to be sheriff.

I'm happy working under Lex.

- When Lex was playing superstar gladiator,

you made a really good job of sheriff.

- But I knew he was coming back.

Please, Salene.

- I have to think about what's best for the city.

I can't allow personal feelings

to cloud my judgment.

- You must really be loving this.

Humiliating me.

So I've gotta answer to Dee and you.

- You'll get used to it.

Unless, of course, you no longer wish

to be involved in peacekeeping.

Deputy Sheriff, I don't recall saying you could leave.

- That's funny.

Nor do I.

- Lex, wait up.

Nothing has changed.

- Could've fooled me.

- No, you're my boss.

Or weren't you listening to Her Majesty.

- Yeah well, maybe, but it doesn't make any difference.

We've still got the same job to do.

And I respect your opinion

and will ask for your advice.

- Yeah.

- Okay.

At least you're not laughing in my face.

- I would never laugh at you.

It's a job share.

Titles have changed, that's all.

- I guess I can try and live with that.

Thanks, Dee.

- For saying you didn't want it.

For backing me up.

- It's okay.

- I'll see you later.

- Right, you're coming with us.

- We haven't done anything.

- You deliberately sabotaged the electricity supply.

A lot of citizens didn't like that.

A crime against the city.

This is a setup.

- Boys, get them out of here.

♪ I want to make you the right one ♪

- Hey, Sheriff.

We've got a problem.

- I'm not your sheriff.

Just give me a drink.

- I'll catch you up.

There's something I've gotta do.

♪ But I feel you as taking all my life ♪

♪ Set you on down ♪

What would you know about love?

- Look.

You had Bray.

I wanted him.

You won.

Just like you always do.

So now the princess is princess.

Just like in a fairytale.

- No.

But that's the trouble.

That you're who Bray loves.

And no one can take your place.

- Thought you weren't talking to me.

- Yeah, I guess.

I don't know, Siva.

I've lost everything.

You, being a gladiator, being the sheriff.

Someone up there must surely hate me.

- Maybe.

But somebody down here sure likes you.

I shouldn't, but I do.

- Hey.

About that girl.

I started to believe my own publicity.

It didn't mean anything.

I'm sorry, Siva.

- I'm sorry too.

I didn't mean to humiliate you.

- You pack one hell of a punch though.

But hey, I had it coming.

- I should never have been so public about it.

- I'm glad you were.

If we'd been alone,

you might've taken me right out.

Hey, you know who's pulling my punches here.

- I know she meant nothing.

Just don't do it again, huh?

- You shouldn't have come here.

If one of the guards or Ram saw us together--

- I followed Salene.

She's in there right now, talking to Ram.

I'm worried about her, Jay.

- Yes.

- I don't think she's in any danger.

Ram's unpredictable but as long as

she's prepared to compromise, she'll be safe.

- There's so much at stake.

If things go wrong,

I don't want Salene to have to

leave the city like Amber did.

- But Amber was different.

She was a real threat to Ram.

- Salene's no collaborator.

- Of course not.

All I'm saying is, Amber's an amazing woman.

I knew that the first time I laid eyes on her.

You don't have to tell me.

We were in the same tribe together, the Guyans.

Eco Tribe.

- Yeah, I heard about that.

I've missed you.

- I've missed you too.

- You're so beautiful.

- You're so biased.

- Yeah, I am.

And proud of it.

- So, Mr. Lex.

What happens next?

- Well, I guess we gotta find a way

to live happily ever after, don't we?

Sunbathing?

- Sitting here watching the world go by.

- I can do that.

I would've thought you'd be out

pounding the beat with Lex by now.

- Nope.

He's kinda busy.

- Well, we've got electricity, we've got water.

You put the two together and

I made them myself.

- The flavoring I'm still working on.

They're sort of water flavored.

- Whatever.

- Cool.

This is virtual stocks,

brought to you by City Net.

These criminals were responsible

for turning off the power,

which plunged the city into darkness.

- But we're innocent.

We don't even know where the generators are.

So, fingers poised on your keyboard.

Three criminals, three choices of punishment.

- Wow, what a great game.

- It isn't a game.

Punishment.

Cooler.

Viewers, their punishment is as follows.

Tomatoes, rotten eggs, mud.

- It's gotta be tomatoes.

- Choices, choices.

Ebony.

Come and help me choose the punishment

that fits the crime.

- Turn it off.

- Turn it off.

If I did say yes,

if I were to marry you,

I'd have four conditions or no deal.

First, I would have to be wife number one.

- Sounds good to me.

- Two, I don't answer to anyone,

not even your generals.

- Okay.

- Three, I will only do what I want to.

- Fair enough.

- And four.

I will be considered by everyone as your equal.

I will accept your proposal.

I will be your wife.
