- Authorities are appealing for calm

throughout the evacuation process.

- Arrest him.

- Stay back.

Patch, get out of here now.

Stay back all of you!

You can't go on like this.

- It's not me, it's the city.

Look at them, it's like a war going on out there

just because of some stupid game.

What is with them all?

- He's been gone too long, Salene.

- Look, if Jay doesn't get back with Patch soon,

we'll send out a search party, okay?

- Okay.

- In the meantime I'll go find someone to relieve you.

- We need a security card.

- You, hand it over.

Jay!

Go!

- Stop.

Yeah stop right there.

I want him alive.

- Dee, it's the hospital stores.

I noticed it yesterday but I thought it was just me.

- Stuff's missing, a whole lot of stuff.

Somebody's been stealing.

- Siva.

- There's no doubt about it, we've got a thief.

- The hospital stores, maybe a quarter of the stuff gone.

- Well who do you think it.

- I know who.

Siva.

- Dee.

- I saw her leaving the stores earlier

and she looked as guilty as anything.

- Of course I'm sure.

Think about it, all this started happening when she arrived.

She doesn't care, we're just virts to her.

She's been taking us all for one big ride.

- I had some jewelry of mine stolen.

- To me, very.

Alright I'll go confront her.

You wanna come?

- You bet I wanna come.

Who!?

- You know you don't look well, Ram.

Shouldn't get yourself so worked up, it's not good for you.

- Do you really think you can hide them from me?

I can open your mind like a can of tuna

and pick it out piece by piece.

Get him out of my sight.

You.

What do you know?

- All I know is that I love you very much, Lord Ram.

- She was here for you the whole time, Ram.

I want to know who.

- Ebony.

It has to be Ebony.

- This is footman's work, not a a loungarama,

so get your butts moving now.

- She might not be able to bake a cake.

- You're all pathetic.

- But your sister sure has got some style.

What do they want now?

- I gotta ask you something.

- Go ahead.

- Some stuff was stolen from the hospital.

Answer me straight, Siva, was it you?

- I saw her, Lex.

- No you didn't.

- About half an hour ago leaving the stock room.

- For this.

Know what this is?

And old bottle of muscle liniment

for their little aches and pains.

What if we search your room right now, Siva.

- Go right ahead.

- No one is searching her room.

- Lex.

- And no one is calling her a thief.

You're searching in the wrong place, Salene.

You want to find out who's stealing stuff around here,

you go talk to Pride or May.

- I'm talking about people who have an addiction to feed.

- That's over.

Because they say so.

- Patch, you're alive.

- So is Ram.

They kidnapped me to try and save him.

I didn't think he was gonna live, but then he did,

and Jay tried to stage a coup.

- I don't know, he didn't get out.

Ebony, he's the only reason I got out.

He saved my life.

- Hold him down.

Let's just test this, shall we?

That's better.

Leave us.

So near yet so far, eh Jay?

No there's nowhere left to go, is there?

Know what your biggest mistake was?

To choose Ebony instead of me.

Now I'm going to enjoy making you regret that.

- Ram deserves you.

- Look at you, Java, you're as twisted as he is.

You're even beginning to look like him.

- By the time this is over you're going

to wish that I'd finished you back there.

And as for Ebony, I know she was in on this.

But you really think it was because of you?

She saw her chance, that's all.

And you believed her.

Know what she'll do now?

First she'll deny everything.

Oh poor Ram, are you okay?

Then she'll betray you.

You're about to see what a great little actress

my sweet dear sister really is.

Shame, eh Jay, it could've all been so different.

Back to the hotel?

Or the farm?

- I don't care, I'll find somewhere.

But I'm not staying here to be called a thief.

People call me stuff all the time.

- That's different.

- Because in your case most of it's true.

But I am not a thief.

- Hey, I wouldn't mind if you were.

- No.

Come on Siva, we need you here.

Who else is gonna get the militia back into shape?

And besides there's nowhere else to go.

The city's not safe and you know it.

I'm not gonna let you go.

- Get out of here, both of you.

- Salene called a meeting for everyone, now.

Well I guess I am.

Okay boys, take me to your leader.

- Of course it wasn't.

- Okay.

- Wait, are you saying you don't believe me?

I told you it's over, you have to believe it,

please say you believe me?

- Of course it is.

Pride trusts you with his life.

- That's right.

- Yeah, everyone's coming.

Good.

- No sweetheart, not if we can help it.

- Ram!

Are you alright?

The city's in chaos, they're all fighting each other.

She wouldn't let any of us see you,

so I've been trying to restore control.

Was I wrong?

Oh Ram I was so worried.

I thought.

- I thought you wouldn't live.

I thought it must've been me with my cold.

- Shut up.

It was my fault, I should never have let you near me.

It's just I can't help myself.

- Apart from Jay's treachery.

You've heard?

- Yes.

- He was helped, I know he was.

I need names, Ebony.

You'll conduct this interrogation.

- I said shut up.

I'm tired.

Do whatever's necessary, Ebony, you do understand?

- Of course.

- I'm not gonna forget about it.

Why should we sit down with her, she's a thief.

- And there is no room for thieves in the Mallrats.

- Right.

- Who knows, Siva may even be a spy.

You're just as much of an outsider as she is.

- That's enough!

We've gotta stick together on this one.

If Ram thinks there's been a conspiracy

then he's gonna head back.

And the first place he's gonna come to is here.

So we gotta decide.

Do we stay in the mall or do we leave?

She went to the hotel to see about Jay.

- Oh yeah, and how do you know that, Patch?

We've let her in on everything and now the chips are down,

who can honestly say what side she's on?

- You must think we're fools.

I mean did you really think you

and your co

- There were no others.

- Oh, so you just decided to walk in here on your own?

- I thought he was dead, so I took a gamble.

You know gambling, don't you Ebony?

Nothing ventured nothing gained.

- The truth, Jay.

I just want the truth.

- Look at her.

I told you I knew she would never betray me.

At this moment I strongly recommend

you say not another word against her.

- Hmm, Jay, I have a plan for him.

Quite a nice little plan indeed.

Sorts him out and it gets the streets

back in order all at the same time.

So my Java, do you want to hear it?

We're about to announce a new city wide

entertainment in reality space.

It's kind of like a hunt and zap style game,

only this time it's for free.

No Java, we've got no credits this time.

It means everyone can play and everyone can be a hunter.

- A virtual Jay, just a virtual Jay.

- Oh it won't.

He'll be all safely tucked away

in his little cell over there.

He won't have a clue what's going on.

- But I don't understand,

he should be punished for his treachery.

- Shh.

You haven't heard the twist yet.

Trust me, he's going to get everything that's coming to him.

But I think I should keep you guessing on this one.

You're going to love it.

This one is going to be the best yet.

Good.

Siva, I want you to redouble your efforts with the militia.

We have to train up a sufficient

resistance as soon as we can.

- Alright.

- Lex, Pride, you guys are in charge of mall defenses.

Lex, you got a problem with that?

- Whatever it takes.

- Then let's go.

Patch, can you do anything to upgrade our security systems?

- Yeah, I'll try.

- Yeah.

- Salene.

What do we do?

- You can both stay out of trouble, Mouse.

- But.

- I don't want you to step outside this mall, you hear me?

- When you were gone I thought.

- Nevermind, let's get to work shall we.

- Here's a special announcement for everyone.

We've got a new game for you to play and it's for free.

That's right, everyone can play and no credits are required.

- Hey Ved.

You okay?

- He's my brother, I have to find out what they're gonna do.

- Wait Ved, wait.

If Ram thinks for one moment you're on Jays' side,

you're going to go down with him.

What's done is done.

Look at me!

If Ram's not going to last, he goes off to cyber heaven.

Who takes over here?

You, Ved, you're his natural successor.

- Sure.

There'd only be Ebony to worry about,

but we could take care of her as long as Jay isn't around.

The hunger, the itch to play.

Now it's even bigger than you

and it's turned you into a liar and a thief.

- I said leave off.

- You keep feeding it, Pride,

and you won't even be that, you'll be nothing.

- There were no accomplices.

He did it alone, I believe him.

But I guess the question is will Ram believe you.

He wants to see you, now.

- To discuss the details of the execution.

- Very well.

That's right, everyone can play

and no credits are required.

- They say everyone can play it, Pride, for free.

- And it's for free.

That's right, everyone can play.

- Yo, Ebony.

- Oh later, later.

First I want to show you something.

Oh look there's Jay.

Or is it?

Is that the real Jay?

Nah, it can't be because you know, I know, and of course

Jay knows that he's locked up so it must be an illusion.

But what does everyone else think?

- Oh you'll see.

The point is simple.

Blur the boundaries between fantasy and reality.

And soon the players won't be able to tell the difference.

Oh you still don't understand?

Okay then, check this out.

Alright guys we're ready to roll.

- Quiet please.

- Welcome to The Hunt.

First, your target.

Be warned he is dangerous.

He will destroy everything you value if you let him.

Already he has taken your friends, your family.

This is the face of your enemy.

- You miserable virts, catch me if you can.

- Hunters, your mission is simple,

track down and destroy him before he destroys you.

- Patch, something's up.

It's gone really quiet out in the street, it's eerie.

- Dee, Patch, they put Jay in the game,

everyone's after him.

- Ebony tells me that you've been working alone,

and well I'm inclined to believe her.

What were you thinking, Jay?

I mean a one man army trying to take on all of this?

I'd almost believe that you've been playing too many games.

But then again, you thought that

I'd been deleted, didn't you?

So you felt you could just mosey on

right in here and take over.

You know Jay, you really should've checked first

because no one around here wants to follow you.

- I didn't have time to canvas opinion.

- No.

Anyway, what are we gonna do with you?

What do you think?

- I think you should go to hell.

- Hell.

You haven't got the address by any chance, buddy.

You know Jay, you've really come to be a pain in the butt.

But, you have done some good work for me.

So I'll tell you what I'm gonna do with you.

Nothing!

Because nothing is exactly what you can do to me.

Just get out of here, go and find

some hole in the city to crawl into.

And don't you ever come back here again, ever.

Now come on, let's get this off him.

Don't worry Jay, just go to the hotel doors

and the guards will let you out.

You uh, take care now.

- Oh Java, will you just change the track.

Now girls tell me, do you think this is the real city?

Or do you think this is?

Do you want to guess again.

This or this?

Fantasy or reality?

Hard to tell, eh?

How's the game doing?

- Looks like they're about to close in on him.

- Good.

Let's get ready to make the announcement then.

- Game over.

- That's what you think.

- Bye.

- Okay guys, let's do it.

Hello happy hunters out there.

That was over a little bit fast, don't you think?

So you know what, we're gonna do it all over again,

same rules, same target, only this time

we're going to turn this city into the gaming zone.

And to add a little spice to it all

I'll tell you what I'll do.

Whoever takes him out is going to be awarded

with a lifetime pass to all future games.

- Jay.

You might need this.

- So go on get out there.

You all know what he looks like.

Let the hunting begin.
