Any news of them?

You going to get up?

You're going to stay there until tomorrow morning.

What time is it?

It's time we're not here.

You sleep right now.

But come on, Slick.

Today's going to be explosive, and I don't want to miss a single one.

Well, how can you? You're the one planning them.

Well, we can't hang around here all day.

I've got fuses to light.

What's the big rush?

Mega's not going anywhere.

What about lighting my fuse first?

Wow, look at this.

I wonder who it belongs to.

Morning.

How'd you sleep?

Badly.

We don't have much in the way of toys, but this was the best I could find.

Thank you. I'm sure Brady really appreciates it.

You are full of surprises, you know. It's not really the type of thing

More Jay's line of duty, huh?

A raw nerve?

What was it that made you want to leave the security of the city, Trudy?

Something to do with Jay?

Well, try and eat something.

And don't worry.

You're safe here.

You okay?

No broken bones, I hope.

You bite your tongue?

Got it.

You haven't brushed your teeth yet.

Lex, of course I did.

How are you?

All the better for seeing you.

You are?

You mean you don't mind about, you know... You're a sweet chick, and I

understand you want it to be right.

Right guy, right time.

I can wait.

You don't mind me waiting, do you?

No. No, of course not.

Great. It's just what I wanted to hear.

You know, gal, you and me, when the time is right, it's going to be fireworks.

You know what I'm saying?

And I deeply respect you, so I don't want to push you anywhere you don't want

go. I want everything between us to be really special.

So do I.

Good.

So what chapter?

Breakfast. You want to join me?

No, I'm not really hungry.

But I will catch you later.

Can you ask my permission before you go altering my doors? I'm not having

thieving little brats messing around with my equipment.

Lottie is just a little kid.

Exactly.

You know, I thought maybe you were starting to be a normal human being.

But now I'm not so sure.

Have you any idea how much time and effort I have put into perfecting the

program I have in this?

I thought that you wanted this just as much as I do. You know I do.

If it saves Slade.

Saves him for who?

For himself.

What else he does is up to him.

If it's any comfort, I'm as concerned for Slade as you are.

I mean, I want him back here, not out there playing war games with that crazy

hellcat. From what I hear, you like playing war games of your own.

Meaning? Just wondering what you're cooking up in there, apart from Slade's

cure.

Maybe one day you'll find out.

If there is anything else.

I've got a funny feeling if I do, it's going to be too late to do anything

it anyway.

You going to give me a key for that?

So I can clean your room?

Oh, I don't think so.

Wouldn't like to see it ending up in thieving little hands now, would we?

I wonder who the lovely is for.

Not you, that's for sure. You're way too little.

Well, size doesn't matter.

Anyway, I hope it's not for me.

She's not my type.

What is your type?

Well, someone who's kind and pretty.

Boring. You shouldn't be so shallow. Aim high. Go for someone clever. Like me.

I know who it is.

Who? Lex. I bet it's Lex.

It better not be.

Hi.

Is it true?

Is what true? About Lex.

What about him? You stay out of this.

been thinking about having a fling with Lex, you better back off right now. He's

spoken for.

Oh, don't make me laugh. Lex?

I pawned those debts when you were in diapers, honey, and I wouldn't give him

second chance even if he begged me.

You're lying.

You wrote that love letter to him, didn't you? You must think I'm stupid.

Bullseye. She's not stupid.

You're covering up, aren't you?

It's so obvious. I can tell by your face.

Gal, would you listen to yourself? For God's sake, stop being so childish.

Maze already told you it's got nothing to do with Lex.

Well, who else could it be?

Brady! Hey, thank goodness!

What are you doing here?

Hey, where's Mommy? Huh? Where's Judy?

Mommy's here.

Not that you care.

Would you mind putting down my daughter?

Trudy, we've been worried sick about you.

Oh, really?

I thought you'd be glad to see the back of me so you can get on with cheating

with my boyfriend.

Trudy, please.

Go away, Amber.

You are a traitor, and I never want to see you again.

Trudy, please, you can't stay here.

Trudy, please come back to the mall so we can talk.

Why did she go to the hotel?

She doesn't even like him.

She's got a kid. She can't exactly wander the streets, can she?

And if she feels she can't be at the mall, well, where else can she go?

This is all my fault.

I pushed her away.

Try we pushed her away. I'm as much to blame.

Okay, we.

Now try not deliberately.

It just happened.

She was so upset.

I didn't mean to hurt her.

You want to end it?

No.

I mean, I can't go back now. It's done.

I just don't think she'll ever forgive me.

No, she will.

In time.

She just needs space.

I just hope that she doesn't speak to Megger in the meantime.

What about?

You or Jack.

One slip could give it all away.

And then that would put you guys in danger.

No. No, Trudy would never... She's hurt and angry.

I mean, she might want to get her own back.

No, I don't believe that.

No matter how angry Trudy is, she'd never do anything to put the Mallrats in

danger. She wouldn't.

I just hope you're right.

I really admire your nerve, Jack.

Yeah? Well, it can't be easy for you in the mall at the moment.

And I suppose this Trudy situation helps.

What do you mean?

You know, her running away with her little girl.

She did?

Of course, I can understand why.

It would have been hard for her to stay.

But she's with us now, and we'll look after her.

Wait, Trudy's here?

Yes. Why not?

Oh. Oh, I don't know what you're talking about. I didn't even know she left.

Yeah.

Well, perhaps only those who need to know know, eh?

Yeah.

You hungry?

For what?

I don't know.

There's... Some kind of hunger about you.

Just can't put my finger on it.

Why'd you hook up with Ram?

I could ask you the same question.

Then I'll answer it.

If you do.

Mm -hmm.

He wanted the full set.

Java, Siva, me.

And I wanted the power.

And the knowledge that he wanted me the most. And did he?

Early on he thought he did.

But I guess poor Java won that award in the end.

You? We're working together on a computer program.

For the virtual casino?

No, this one's aimed at Mega. Bring him down, big time.

Then why am I wasting my time holding up food wagons? It's the necessary

diversion. Stop Mega sussing out there's a bigger threat.

Which he would if he knew Ram was still around.

Were you going to tell me about this?

Sure, when you ask.

You and Ram, huh?

Well, I guess you found the right mind for the job.

No one can match Ramspring.

So how are you going to stick it to Mega?

Lex is working on it right now.

Whoa!

Hang on, you've totally lost me now.

So, are we talking about the Lex that would sell his granny if he had one?

Mm -hmm.

So enlighten me. Well, he's being a brave boy, stealing core files from

computer. For the good of mankind?

For the good of Lex.

He thinks the files are imperative for upgrading the virtual casino.

You know, making it more exciting, more profitable.

Him richer.

Oh, my God, that's brilliant.

So you got Lex to do a good deed, and he thinks he's going to get rich. I love

it.

Oh, boy, will he be mad when he finds out.

But promise me, when he does, let me be there.

And I want to be there when you take Meg out, too.

Oh, I'm banking on that.

I was wondering if you wanted to come for a walk.

Get out of this place for a while.

I don't think so.

Well, sitting here feeling sad isn't going to make you feel any better.

Maybe I don't want to feel better.

Do you want to talk about it?

Must have been really bad, whatever happened.

Nothing happened.

Something just stopped happening.

Stopped?

For one tiny moment in my life, I wasn't alone.

I don't mean Brady.

I mean someone, you know?

And it felt so good.

Not being alone.

Sharing.

Ever since the virus, I have felt so alone.

I was pregnant, and it had been so hard.

It could have been easy.

I just... I...

I need to... What do you need?

I need stability, routine, no more awful surprises.

We need somewhere safe.

I want that for Brady more than anything.

I understand that. That's what I want too, stability.

I thought your agenda was taking over the city.

No, eliminating chaos, providing a safe zone.

For you?

For everyone.

We have a lot in common, Trudy.

Sorry, I don't see that.

When the virus came, I was young.

Scared.

More than anything, I wanted someone to look after me.

To save me from the chaos.

Please, please don't go.

And he just left you there?

I trusted him.

Thought he would look after me.

Instead, he just walked out of my life.

What did you do? How did you survive?

The techno saved me.

Taught me everything. Made me smart.

But I'll never forgive him.

Leaving me there.

Stop that damn kid from looking at me, all right? You touch a hair on her head,

and I swear I'm going to have to use this.

Fools, cowards, women, and thieving little kids. I mean, that's my company

I mean, I used to own this city, and now I'm just hiding away with all these

idiots.

I'm just nervous, you know?

If he doesn't come back...

I'm going to go up to my room and do some work. If you don't mind, I don't

really want to be disturbed.

Sorry.

Cabin fever?

I've got a scary feeling that his madness runs a lot deeper than that.

He's hard.

I hate him.

Hey, you just stay away from them.

He's not going to be here forever.

So what happens when he gets all his toys together or whatever he's got up

in his room?

Well, let's just hope Slade can handle him because I'm not sure anybody else

can.

I told you something I've never told anyone else.

Showed a weakness.

Don't worry.

I won't say a word.

Not if you don't want me to.

I'm alone too, Trudy.

Just like you.

There are people you don't even know, but feel you can trust instantly, don't

you think?

I guess.

I hope you learn to trust me, Trudy.

Maybe.

I know it won't be easy.

Trusting again.

It wasn't for me.

But someone's hurt you badly.

Very badly, haven't they?

And if I can help... The funny thing is, I don't

even blame her.

I think I knew he and Amber were made for each other right from the start.

I just hoped he'd love me more.

You following me?

Yeah.

It's just not going to go away, is it?

You feel it too?

No, that's not what I meant.

We have to discuss this. Get it out in the open.

God, I'm so with you on that.

People will understand.

May, will you stop misinterpreting everything I say and just listen?

I care about you as a friend, but I don't have those sorts of feelings.

You mean you're afraid to have those sorts of feelings?

No, May.

That's not the way I'm reading the situation.

Well, what are you saying?

That you're emotionally dyslexic?

Is that why you almost moved out of our room?

I thought about moving out because it seemed things would be better that way.

And I'm still thinking that maybe I should have.

Amber, I haven't seen you all day. Is this a social visit or is there a

Jack said Trudy was here.

Is she in some sort of trouble?

I didn't realize Jack had time to gossip.

You could have sent word. We're her friends.

I didn't know whether or not you were the cause of her problem.

What's she told you?

Very little.

I think Zoot's broadcast got to her.

Her little girl is his daughter, after all.

Or maybe it's something closer to home.

Like what?

I thought you might have an idea. You're her friend.

Can I see her?

Well, she was hysterical. We had to sedate her.

I expect she'll be back in the mall soon with her friends.

When she gets over whatever it is that's been bugging her.

I thought you might like to come see the control room.

It's the center of all my operations.

Why do you want to show it to me?

Because it's something I'm very proud of.

And I'd like you to see what I do.

How I deal with chaos.

I know what you're really trying to do.

What?

You're trying to cheer me up, make me forget about everything.

Am I succeeding?

I'll let you know.

The one thing I can say, you are full of surprises.

I hope I have a few more that will surprise you.

The control room.

What?

Come on, you're not supposed to do this.

Yes? I know someone's in the operations room. I'm right outside.

We'll get something done here now and secure the entire area.

Gone that way after them.

No. What's happening?

Java. She was here.

But that's impossible.

Java's dead.

How'd it go?

Did you get it?

Yeah, you got it. Great, you are a genius. Come on.

Newsflash, newsflash, newsflash, newsflash.

Oh, what now?

This is an important newsflash. Have you seen this man?

Oh, no.

He is a dangerous criminal and is wanted for crimes against the city.

If you see him, apprehend him at once.

That's him! Get him!
