Original subtitles

Where can't we just be quiet?

They don't want him in the suit when he comes back.

That's when he says come.

You're sorry, Trudy, but you said we could...

You mean you're real men around here? Real.

Hey, you know, men that can show a girl a good time.

No, I don't suppose we do.

Well, maybe you should look a little closer, then.

Maybe you should do something about your halitosis.

What?

Clay.

Good trip?

No cuffs?

Ruby and I came to an agreement.

Right, Ruby?

Yeah, you could say that.

Yeah, we got on really well.

You know, when a man appreciates a woman. Oh, and he appreciates a woman.

It's not all that difficult.

Strikes me, then.

Halla toast with the part.

You found yourself a friend.

Is that all you're having?

I'm not hungry.

Jay? Jay, um, yeah, can I have a word with you? Not now, Jack.

Thanks.

Sure. Sorry.

Look, Trudy, I know what you were going to say.

Amber... No, Jay, not Amber.

Me.

Us. I need to hear from you straight.

Are you really happy for us to go on as we are after what has happened with her?

Haven't you been listening?

I'm sure I want to be with you.

I hear you, Jay, but that is not what I asked.

Then let me clarify.

Emma, hey, we need to talk.

What makes you think I have all the answers?

What? We're the only person that can work out anything for myself anymore.

Doesn't anyone know anything?

Okay, but who the heck do I talk to?

Jay's preoccupied. Selene, I can't bother her. So who does that leave?

Mouse? Gal?

Okay, okay. What is it?

Okay, tomorrow's the day, right? You know, zoop cometh, resurrection time.

I mean, they're getting in line out there already.

What's the point, Jack?

The point is that we need to suss out what's going to happen. You know, what's

this shadow at noon, Garth?

How are they going to make a zoop appear before a crowd?

If that happens... Jack, not now.

Come by my place in, I don't know, an hour. An hour?

You want an hour? Take it or leave it, Jack.

Right now, I don't care which.

What was it like outside?

Interesting.

In a zooty kind of way.

Bad? Like you wouldn't believe.

How bad's right?

I see gangs chasing a lone woman through the streets with clubs in their hands.

I reckon they're not collecting for the Red Cross.

Well, you know who's behind it all, don't you?

So you keep saying.

And, uh, Ebony?

You came across Ebony?

There's one way of putting it.

What's her story? Why don't you ask the man she married?

Well, it might be a little difficult seeing he's dead.

I don't mean Zoot.

Ram.

This would be a little awkward.

It's like our first guy's on the way home.

Arrives tomorrow.

Hey, how nice.

You know, Daryl, you have something for us?

You asked me to recheck the mood in the mall?

And?

No change. No threat.

Jack?

If he could get anyone to take him seriously, he might be a problem.

Any chance of that happening?

They're also biting each other's back.

Nobody's got their head together.

So, we're home and dry.

Sorry? What Daryl means is that it's good news for tomorrow.

The second coming of Zoot.

Yeah.

How's that going to work?

Like a dream.

Right, Mega?

We have it well planned, yes.

Be there, May.

I can promise you a real surprise.

Enough, Daryl.

Out.

What's he on about?

Sorry, man. You know I trust you. I just don't want to give away too much.

Zoot!

Zoot!

Zoot! Zoot! Zoot!

Zoot! Zoot! Zoot! Zoot!

Zoot! Zoot! Zoot! Zoot! Zoot! Zoot!

Zoot!

Zoot!

up between them.

Nothing to do with you.

It's not a J, isn't it? Nothing to do with you.

If you ask me, Amber needs to outshine the competition.

Now, if it's between me and her, for less.

Mouse, could you look out for the baby for me, just for half an hour? There's

something I've got to do.

Sure, Amber.

Thanks. Whenever you're ready. Uh, Amber?

Yeah? About J.

Uh, gal?

I would find a good make of it as the trick.

Looks like Trudy already knows that.

So, if you want my advice, we could... Or maybe not.

Something the matter?

Yeah, I'm just trying to imagine you with a brain, gal. It isn't easy.

Maybe your sole purpose in life is to serve as a warning to others. Yeah?

Okay. They have someone who looks like Zoot. And they bring him out and they

say, look, here's Zoot.

No, that doesn't seem enough. There's something missing, Sammy.

Yeah, but what?

Okay, think about it. There must be, you know, some other element that would,

you know, really convince people that it's out.

Maybe it's enough. They just want to believe.

Amber.

So what have we got?

Search me, okay. How do you convince a city full of people that scene is

believing? Um, special effects?

Well, it has to be, but what?

I mean, what, shadow at noon, what is that? When is the shadow at noon?

Um, well, the shadows are shortest at noon.

Normally, yes, but I think abnormal.

Hmm. I remember reading when Jesus died, the whole Earth was in shadow.

Earth.

Shadow, Sammy, you've got it.

I have?

I'm with you.

Tomorrow's going to be a total solar eclipse.

You know, the shadow at noon.

Oh, the oldest trick in the book. Yes, but very effective, because not only

it look like he's appearing, but it'll look like he's switching the sun off

while he does it.

Yeah.

Ellie, you okay?

I've got some good news for you.

We found where Jack is and your other friends.

You have?

Uh -huh.

So how would you feel about going to see them?

I'll take you, no problem.

I'd like that.

Then that's settled.

How about you take some time making yourself look pretty, I mean prettier,

I'll pick you up a little later.

Okay, and thank you.

I don't know why you've been so kind to me, but I don't know how I can ever

repay you.

You'll find a way.

All I'm concerned about right now is that you be with your friends.

Gal, keep moving.

This must be what a goldfish feels like.

Yeah, we'll just have to get used to it, I guess.

Sure.

What, you think it's too big a price to pay for what we've got?

No, of course not.

It's just... What?

I worry about you, Trudy.

You know, with the Zoot thing and Brady.

Jay, you don't think they'd target Brady. I mean, I watch her constantly. I

should be with her now. No, no, no. It's Zoot that people want, not his

daughter.

You sure?

What I mean is...

You know, with all this strain and people tiptoeing around us.

And Amber.

Jay, what are you trying to say?

Just that if it would help for you to have some space, I could move out for a

bit. No.

Just a while might be all that we need. Jay, no way.

Where would you go?

I don't know.

To where?

What do you mean?

You tell me.

Trudy.

It's you that I want to be with.

Sea creature.

Two words.

Five and three.

You actually get something out of that?

Wouldn't do it if I didn't.

Ship's cat.

Two words.

Five and three.

Go Ram.

Sea creature.

Ship's cat.

You got a better one, Lex?

Or is this all a little too highbrow for you?

Yeah, I do.

Two words. First word's get.

Second word's what happens to a goose at Christmas.

How many letters in that second word again?

Work it out yourself.

Spell goose.

No, spell rabbit.

Go right ahead. Spell dog.

Spell cripple, Ram.

Boy, come on. You think you're so smart.

How smart do you think you'd look spread out all over the floor here?

If I could accommodate you, Lex, I'd love to teach you a lesson.

Anything wrong with your arms?

Belt loser.

I've forgotten what it feels like to win.

I appreciate it.

Still a loser.

I'm the one who's walking away from this tiger.

Yeah, are you okay?

Oh, I'm better than okay.

Why?

Just up the road are your friends.

And Jack.

They're going to be so glad to see you.

Aren't you going to come up with me?

I can't. I've work to do.

But I don't want to go up there on my own.

My assistants will show you the way.

Once inside, you won't be on your own.

That's the good thing about it.

Oh, and Ellie.

I thought you might be able to use these.

And what is it?

Just a few clothes I don't use anymore.

Gotta look your best for the party.

There'll be a party? You bet.

A welcome home party.

Have a blast.

So.

Justice.

I didn't mean the arm.

He caught me on a bad day. You have good ones, huh?

Would you do me a favor and just get off my case? Well, how about you get off

Ram's case, huh?

Like blaming him for the state of the city.

You're beginning to sound like a one -string fiddle.

While he was running the show, you were probably off somewhere roping a steer.

Ram was a scourge. Whatever he was, he ain't now.

The only name I heard down there was Zoot.

And Ebony.

You got the lowdown on her?

Lowdown's about right.

She's poison, man. Ruins every man she comes across.

Cheated, lied, sold out. She's dangerous.

That good, huh?

On a one to ten with your average evil dictator at about three, she's way off

the scale.

Not your average housewife, then.

Ebony eats average housewives for breakfast.

Raw.

I can't imagine Ram getting it on with her. He's no dummy.

Ram thought he could control her, like they all do.

But sooner or later, what Ebony wants, Ebony gets.

This bracelet belonged to our tribe leader, Naza.

What happened to her?

Dunno. Don't know what happened to any of them.

Oh, that's sad.

Don't look now, but there's a geek standing behind you.

Thanks, Eva.

I've got to look my best for a suit tomorrow.

You look pleased, Javi.

Do I?

Can't think why.

Unless it's because I just pulled off the best bit of business since we took

over this poxy city. What have you done now?

I only lined up the mall rats for a bit of good old -fashioned extermination.

What? Skipping the details.

Let's just say that right now they're sitting on top of a very highly

situation. The alley girl.

Primed and ready.

And surrounded by her adoring friends.

One button push away from oblivion.

Boom! You'd wipe them all out.

Just like that. After what they did to me?

You kidding?

Ebony, they were your friends.

Where's the detonate control?

Right in the next room.

Do it.

Ebony, no!

You know, maybe Steve is right.

What?

Maybe we should wait a bit.

Let them enjoy the last meal together?

That's the least we can do.

Charlie, silly, silly girl.

What are you up to?

I don't believe it. It's so good to see you.

Allie, I'm so relieved that you're safe.

I remember you.

A little.

Allie, are you okay?

Allie, you're home. We're your friends.

My friend?

She's not herself.

Allie, you remember me?

No.

Mouse? Ellie!

Is that you?

Jack!

Take a tip, Slade.

Ebony's worth staring clear of.

A path to Christ, that's all.

Let me get it.

She flatted her eyelashes at you and your hormones were doing somersaults.

My hormones and my business.

She's a... Hey, lady.

Let me guess who you're talking about.

Ebony.

She swore loyalty to me through lips as red as cherries and then destroyed my

life from the depths of a heart as dark as coal.

Bull.

I know Ebony.

Ebony wants power.

You gave her power. Why would she throw that away? For more power.

Mega power.

Meg is not behind all of this.

You are.

You and Ebony.

That's right, Lex.

I dumped myself out on the top of a rubber sheep. Then I organized for a

boy here to come and pick me up, bring me here.

In my room upstairs under the bed, I have a state -of -the -art communication

system in which I stay in touch with Zoot.

Any day now, him and Ebony are going to come riding into town and pick me up and

take me home.

Do you want to see where I keep my stun gun?

Mega is just a convenient alibi.

Like a good Lex, you're far too smart for me.

I'm so glad to see you. I mean, to tell you the truth, I never thought I'd see

you again.

Was I gone a really long time?

It was like forever.

Jack? Why do I remember you and none of the others?

I don't know.

I mean, we got on pretty well.

I mean, you and me most of the time.

We were in love.

Yeah?

Yeah. Very much.

Yeah.

Look at you.

Pretty as ever.

Hey, and don't worry about not remembering and stuff, because I'm sure

come back.

I promise.

When's the party?

Oh, um... No, no, no, you're right. We should have one.

No, the girl said that there'd be one, so... Girl? What girl?

The girl who dropped me off here in the car.

She was so nice.

You're off to buy a car?

Mm -hmm. A police car. And there were sirens and everything.

Wait a minute.

The girl brought you here by a police car?

What does she look like?

She was really beautiful. She had dark hair and braids and dark skin.

Well, you're scaring me, Elliot.

Did she tell you her name?

Well, no. But, Jack, she was really nice.

She even gave me a bag of clothes to wear.

A bag?

You mean the bag you arrived here with?

Well, yeah.

Well, where is it?

Ellie, where did you leave it? Where did you leave it?

Show me.

Don't do it, Java.

Careful now.

Hey, relax.

You worry too much, little sis?

Anyway, it's almost done now.

Perfect. I was wondering what to give Zoot as a welcome home gift.

That's it right there.

Beth.

Just get away from it, okay? I wasn't doing anything.

Just get away. Beth, move.

Jack, what's the matter? What's going on?

Wake him up! Get out of my way!

What's the other one?

Sweet dreams, Luther.

Get out of the way!

Stop now!

This isn't the plan, Jabba. You know that. Tell her!

I mean, you listen to me.

This isn't Dude's plan.

Get out of the way!

What are you looking at? It's a flippin' bomb!

Bye -bye, mole rat.
