- Authorities are appealing for calm

throughout the evacuation process.

- Hey.

Big Chief Long Hair, come on, it's time to wake up.

Come on.

- It's a surprise.

- Oh, Lex.

This is great, I wish it could last forever.

- Forever's a long time, babe.

It's a small miracle we've lasted this long.

You said we'd be safe here.

- For a couple of nights, yeah,

and even that's pushing it.

We gotta get you outta here.

The mall?

Jay comes and goes as he pleases,

likewise, his stupid brother,

and the rest of them wouldn't be too keen

on having Queen Techno around.

- Don't worry, I know the perfect place.

I coulda walked.

Pleased to be home?

After you...

snatch me away?

Run your experiments on me, use me?

Up there in the clouds.

- Like a bird.

Just, remember who controls the City.

I'd ask you to grovel, but I figured,

you've learnt your lesson.

You've seen how much power we command.

What it can do.

- It can make us all into Gods.

- Only, if your good little Verts.

So, go and tell your friends to play along, be nice.

- Pride!

Pride?

Pride, are you okay?

What have they done to you?

- They helped me to see.

Tried to brainwash you.

Come on, we'll get you some food, you'll feel better.

Whatever they did, I'll wipe it clean.

They're not gonna take you away from me.

Come on.

- Yo, Vert.

- Here, your public broadcast information for today.

Vital information.

- Of course, it's news, for everybody.

- It's not news, it's one long advert,

for you and your toys.

- The game is only the biggest,

most spectacular thing, ever.

It'll make the City a great place to be, finally.

- And you want me to sell it to them.

- It's your job to, besides, it'll be more appealing

coming from you, a fellow Vert.

I don't like being your puppet.

- Tough!

Cameras roll in five, don't disappoint me,

or you'll be in the Reality Space docks, for good.

- Ebony, what are you--

- How dare you barge in here!

- That whole thing with Ram, you're faking it, right?

- Our wedding was real enough,

and so was the kiss that sealed it.

- But it was in Virtual Reality, that's not the same.

I thought you'd had enough experience in that to know

it feels exactly like the real thing.

Even a kiss, remember?

- Nothing.

It doesn't matter.

Think what you wanna think.

Maybe I'm in love with Ram, maybe I'm not.

Your no longer in the equation.

- But I-- - Enough!

I'm late.

Ram is waiting for me, and close the door on your way out.

- I didn't realize how hungry I was!

Starving!

Must be those hundreds of miles I traveled.

- In Reality Space.

- Mouse, not now.

- But I wanna know.

- Kids, Pride's been through a very traumatic experience.

He's tired and weak.

Doesn't look like it to me.

He looks like he had a good time.

- I can't believe your saying this,

after what the others went through.

- Not everybody hates Reality Space,

it can be, you know, real groovy.

- Yeah, Pride might have done some really cool stuff.

- Leave it!

- It was fine.

In fact, it's one of the most extraordinary

experiences I've ever had.

- See, told you!

It's not all negative.

- In fact, it was hugely uplifting, oh, the words

to describe it, but words are inadequate,

it's beyond language.

- Hah, Pride's hooked.

- No, he's not.

They have confused him, it won't last.

He'll recover his senses.

- I've lost nothing, Salene.

That spiritual wholeness I've searched for all my life,

I finally found it.

- Ooh.

Ahh.

- Mmm, wonderful, Ebony.

Most soothing.

- You mustn't let Siva's disappearance upset you.

Your health is too important.

- Music to my ears.

- Boss!

I made those adjustment to the game, like you said,

and the results are mind-blowing.

- Good.

- The level of difficulty is way up there.

Even for you it'll be a challenge.

- Yeah, later, I have other business to attend to.

- Right.

Like your handmaiden.

- Vert.

- Oh, it's okay, the kid was only joking.

- Yeah, I didn't mean to offend.

- Yeah, well you better not.

I don't want you upsetting my most prized possession.

You can go.

Ah, you have such magic hands, Ebony.

- Yeah, you take the pain away.

Pride, are you okay?

Are you sure you don't wanna get some sleep?

- I'm wide awake, making up for lost time.

- I was a fool to reject it, City Net's the key,

it's the doorway to a whole new world.

- But you despised it before they took you,

you had nothing but contempt for it,

and now your it's number one fan?

- You should be pleased.

You said I should get involved, know your enemy, remember?

- That's not fair, you're twisting my words.

- Salene, we've gotta..

Pride, you're back in one piece?

- Hi.

- Enlightened.

Is he okay?

- Reality Space side effects, he'll pull through.

What did you want to talk to me about?

- Oh, this morning's broadcast.

I pressed Java over it and she got real defensive, quick.

Stuff about new game and scanning centers.

- Seems like, to be in with the game,

you gotta become a player.

- I guess.

- Details are vague, just that it's the best thing, ever.

- Sounds serious.

- That's what I thought.

We don't want everyone in the City turning

into zombies like, um...

Sorry, I didn't mean...

- Forget about it,

just keep a watchful eye on this.

- Sure thing.

- I better stay with Pride.

- Yeah.

The old owners, Alice and Allie, are on a forced vacation,

if you care to take notes.

It's the perfect hideaway.

- It's a dump.

- What did you expect, a mansion, Lex's country estate?

After you.

- No way.

- Suite yourself.

Come on, it's a palace in here.

Looks like the mice came over for dinner.

Babe, hang on, I was just kidding.

- No, you weren't, there's probably

a big nest around here, somewhere.

- Whatever, I don't like animals or too much nature.

- Ah, you prefer machines.

- There's no alternative.

This place is secluded, the Techno's don't know about it,

you'll be safe here.

- But it's filthy.

- Would you rather be living in a nice, clean, prison cell?

- Okay, okay.

I'll stop complaining, at least I've go you to keep me safe.

- Um...

Yeah...

Well, the thing is...

- You're not going to leave me here, are you?

- I've got no choice.

I've gotta figure this out, make a deal, you know,

something to get us both off the hook.

I won't be long, and you'll be fine.

- Fine.

There's no food.

- This is a farm.

You know, where people grow things?

Vegetables.

- Relax.

You'll survive.

And when I get back, all our problems will be gone.

They'll be no more hiding.

Okay?

- The game is for all of you,

the most spectacular adventure ever devised.

Just visit our brand new scanning centers and enroll.

Opening tomorrow at 9:00 a.m. sharp.

There's one near you, get scanned and be a player.

- Wow, sounds mega.

Is it where they put those headsets on you?

- Dunno, but if we get scanned, we can play the game,

be the best in town.

- Could be dangerous.

- Not for Pride, he seemed to love it.

- I dunno, I'd rather see what the game is first.

- Me too, but if it looks real fun,

I'm brave enough to be scanned.

- So am I!

- Of course.

Oh no, how can he do this to me?

Lex!

- Nothing, do I need an excuse to see an old friend?

- Lex, please.

Your primitive charm doesn't work on me.

And, since when have we been friends?

- Alright, it's about Siva.

- What a surprise, who'd have thought

you had anything to do with her disappearance.

- I need your help, Ebony.

Can you talk to Ram, convince him to drop the man

Forget about Siva?

- That's a pretty big wish list.

- You're his favorite, you could wrap him

around your little finger.

- You flatter me.

- No, I just know what you're really like.

Besides, how many wives does Ram need?

- True, it's one less competitor to worry about.

And I find your affection for her almost sweet.

- I'll try.

But don't hold your breath.

- Pride's not all with us.

He's in some sort of trance.

- Reality Space sickness.

- I see as the eagle sees, his glory is mine.

- He's been drifting in and out since he got back.

Jake, I'm losing him.

- He's having a severe reaction, but he's strong.

Okay, he'll break the spell.

- Will he, and what am I supposed to do in the meantime?

- Be patient.

Don't let him out of your sight.

I wish I could reverse it, but the damage is done.

- Have you heard about the scanning centers?

They will spread this disease.

It will turn into a ghost town.

- I saw the broadcast.

Ram's pretty much given up telling me stuff.

I think you're gonna need to find a new spy in his camp.

I'm not much use anymore.

- Don't say that!

It's vital that you stay close to them.

We need all the help we can get.

- I think you're making a mistake trying to track Siva down.

- Should I abandon the search, is that your suggestion?

- Face it, she's crossed over to the Vert's.

- Or she's their hostage.

- Well, whichever, she's had prolonged contact with them,

who knows what kind of infections

and bacteria she might have caught.

I mean, can you really take that risk?

- Though it saddens me,

I'm afraid you're right.

- Forget about Siva, you've got me now.

You don't need her anymore.

- That may be, but I can't forgive.

From this moment on, Siva has ceased to exist.

She is no longer a Techno, no longer welcome,

a mere Vert,

with no power, no rights, nothing.

Pride, it's okay, it's okay, you're safe.

You're gonna be okay.

- Falling, can't stop crashing, I'm falling, falling.

Please, I love you, I love you, please, be still.

Be still, shh.

- Hey, bro, what are you doing up so early this morning?

- I haven't gone to bed yet.

I've got a lot on my mind.

Anyway, I can ask the same thing.

You don't normally rise with the birds.

- Big day, today.

Opening the new scanning center.

Right here, at the hotel, Ram put me in charge.

- Huh, good for you.

- Listen to yourself, man.

You can't bare to see me take over, can you?

I warned you, the game is the only game in town.

But you stuck your nose in the air.

- Because it's wrong!

This isn't what I signed up for,

stealing kids souls?

- Lone crusader, the one that will bring us all to justice.

Ram's not gonna take any nonsense from you, or anybody.

Phase four is in operation, the game,

try stopping it and he'll crush you.

- Yeah, well see about that.

- I don't have time for this, Lex.

Ram will notice I'm gone, he's kinda paranoid

about his wives going missing.

Let alone finding strange men in their rooms.

- Siva's in the clear, Ram doesn't wanna have anything more

to do with her, even if he found her,

he wouldn't' wanna keep her.

- That's great news, what can I do to thank you?

- At the moment, you're not really significant enough

to be of much use to me, but, I'm sure that'll change.

- Right, I won't be down for long.

- Be positive, that's the trick.

With Siva as your sole responsibility,

you'll need to be.

- Well, providing for her, tending to her needs,

with your track record,

I'm surprised she was so eager to settle down.

Plus, this huge debt to me hanging over your head.

I hope she's worth it.

- Oh, Jay, sorry to keep you waiting.

Busy, busy, busy.

How can I help?

- Phase four, it started without me.

- Did your invitation get lost in the mail?

- I'm serious, we made firm plans for this,

and you made commitments to me,

which you're choosing to ignore.

- I think you don't care.

- I've given them water and light!

- Bribes, to buy you time, and my cooperation.

- I don't know which treacherous Vert

is filling your mind full of this garbage,

but you should ignore it.

Indulge me, and I'll do the same for you.

As you said, phase four has begun,

and with it comes medicines and a hospital, as you wished.

- Thank you would be nice.

- Turn back now, my friend got scanned,

and he's got a major headache, brain about to burst.

Turn back!

- Shut up, you stupid Vert!

- Alright, six more of 'em go get scanned.

How many more do you need?

- The more the merrier.

- Alright, you...

You...

You...

- They didn't' tell us about the side effects.

Listen to me, you mustn't let them push you around.

- I said... shut up!

You're a liar and a freak.

Anyone want to listen to this piece of garbage?

And not be able to play the game?

Come on, speak up.

Take him away!

- Leave, leave while you still can!

Don't let them get into your head!

- The rest of you, listen up,

that's what happens to cowards

who don't have the guts to play the game.

But, if you're brave enough, the sky's the limit.

Put 'em all through!

- Salene, wait!

Good news, Ram's letting me open a hospital.

- That's great!

- I can't believe he's finally delivering on his promise.

- Well, let's hope he means it.

Hey, have you seen Pride?

- No.

- Well, he's not in his room or in the cafe.

- Pride!

- Here I come.
