I must to keep them safe.

Please! Please!

Amber, have you heard what they're announcing on CityNet?

No. Well, you better come and have a look. Now.

I'm not gonna stretch anymore for you.

I'll try.

All work parties are to be increased by one full hour.

Someone should turn Ebony in. She's making everyone suffer.

Why doesn't she just stop?

Maybe because she doesn't want to live in a police state.

At least we're safe here. Are we?

Ebony, is this an excuse, Trudy?

This is just the way Mega wants it. Everyone in the hive working to his

schedule. If we stay here, slowly, inch by inch, he'll take away our freedom

until we're just cogs in a machine.

Maybe you misunderstood him, Ebony.

Maybe he wasn't trying to threaten Bray.

I didn't misunderstand.

Then maybe you should get out.

I already tried that.

What? What do you mean? When?

Last night.

I can't leave the safe zone.

He's letting me know, Trudy, that I'm his prisoner.

Me and Bray.

Then what are you going to do?

The only thing I can do.

It's a pretty big reward they're offering for you.

Maybe we should cool it for a bit.

Cool it?

Why?

Someone may get greedy.

No.

Meg is not offering enough not for me.

We don't stop.

This is a siege.

He's in there behind a fence thinking he's oh so safe, but he isn't.

Time to hit him where it really hurts.

Somewhere that's going to make him reconsider the size of that reward.

Let's see what Meg is really prepared to pay out.

Hey!

It's one piece each.

Let her have it. Well, look, she's hungry and we've got enough.

For how long?

There's more of them each day. We can't go on doing this.

I know.

Daryl?

Here.

Just what do you think you're doing?

Nothing. I was simply... Grand opening.

State -of -the -art entertainment.

The saloon.

This afternoon.

It's, it's, uh... Don't tell me.

Lex.

You stay here. Help her.

But... Do you want to eat tonight?

Feed them.

It's, uh, night on down.

It's all nightly.

Seriously going to eat all that?

Seriously, I am. I've got to keep my strength up for the work parties.

Do you want some?

I thought your workload hadn't been increased.

Megan might change his mind.

Maybe you should tuck and go before he decides to pull out your food

too.

Don't want to get any slimmer than you are.

You think I'm slim?

Yeah. I mean, in a nice way.

Thank you, Sammy.

You're welcome.

It's fruit, Sammy.

You should eat lots of fruit.

No, don't like that. Try that once.

Have you got any ketchup?

Yes!

It's pretty good, actually.

Or maybe not.

Hey.

What are you doing?

Just checking for something.

What? What something?

Infestation.

What sort of infestation?

The kind that gets inside your skull.

Right. See you then.

What does he mean? What gets inside your skull?

They're looking for bugs.

Okay. Gotta go.

See ya.

You mean life?

Have we got life?

No, not life.

Please not life.

I want to give these puppies a tenth drive.

Everything loaded?

Of course.

I don't anticipate any problems.

After all, you are in the very best of hands.

So, shall we? Why not?

Bad. Not bad.

Of course, it's not Caesar's palace.

Big things take time, Lex. Rome wasn't built in a day.

It's your lucky number.

What do you mean?

Simple question.

Nineteen.

You mean we can control them?

We can fix the numbers?

We are going to clean up.

Oh, yeah.

Ebony, please, let me out.

What's the matter?

My big sister getting all hot and bothered?

I can't take it.

I can't take this anymore.

Yeah, well, I had to take it.

Only my page was in here, wasn't it, Javi?

Maybe I should put one in your mind, too.

Yeah.

Only right now we're off to see your friend Mega to give him a big surprise.

Ebony, please.

I'll do anything.

Anything you want.

All I ever wanted from you, Java, was to be loyal.

But I don't think you're any good at that, are you? I can be.

You can trust me. Honestly, I've come to my senses.

Maybe you have.

But there's another problem.

Me.

I'm still mad.

But then, that's just the way you wanted me to be, isn't it?

would you do?

What the hell do you think you're doing in my saloon?

Uh, we were going to tell you. Oh, yeah. What, you're spreading paradise to the

masses now?

That'll explain the amount of helmets everywhere.

It's not paradise.

Well, not as such.

Ram will tell you.

Well, it's gaming.

Games for the kids. You know, the refugees.

They play games inside a virtual game center.

It was Lex's idea.

No. No, you're not. I am not having this stuff in my bar.

Wait!

Listen.

Those kids out there have nothing to do.

Nothing.

Soon they're going to get restless, they're going to get bored, and then

going to be trouble.

Lots of it.

You don't want that in here.

Just give it a chance.

See how it turns out. I mean, we can always get rid of it later.

You have one chance.

And if I see you exploding these kits... Ruby, would I do that?

He's tracking them down one by one. Soon he'll have them all and we'll be blind.

How is he doing it?

What? Amber's here.

Amber, a nice surprise.

Alright, you've made your point.

So what do you want me to do?

You're free to do whatever you want to do.

But naturally, I'd...

Hope you'll work with me to build a future that we can all live in.

We both know I've got no choice.

So I'm telling you I'll cooperate, all right?

Just tell me specifically what you want from me.

It won't be hard.

Very little.

The occasional speech, a broadcast or two.

Like I say, you're a figurehead.

People listen to you. That's all I want them to do.

Listen.

And that's it? That's it.

Just one thing, Amber.

Your cooperation has to mean your cooperation.

There can be no other agenda.

I wouldn't want to find that you've been up to something behind my back. That

wouldn't be good for you.

Or my baby.

So I take it you'll send for me when you want one of your speeches?

Absolutely.

Whenever we need you.

Do you think she'll do it?

I think so.

Perhaps we don't need the bugs after all.

Amber is the only Mallrat who matters anymore.

Her and Jack.

Now he would be an asset to the team.

No, you're pretty amazing, Jack. You know that?

Yeah, I guess.

No, I'm serious.

You are.

Look, Ellie, we haven't cleared this room yet. There might be someone

Yeah, I know.

It's kind of exciting, isn't it?

Yes, it is.

Oh,

Jack, Ellie, hi.

Do you guys know where I can get some delousing powder?

You've got life?

I don't know. I don't want to know.

Well, let me see.

No, if I'm not infested, you might be.

Please, do we have any powder?

Sure, I'll just get some for you.

Well, it's not my fault, is it? Anyone can get them, even girls.

I think this should be enough.

Oh, I guess that's opening time.

Where are you going?

Do you seriously think I'm going to hang around here until someone recognises

me? I don't think so.

Guess it's a self -running show, then.

Hi, guys. Daryl.

Let the puns in.

Remember, we accept jewels, personal valuables, even food.

They put their deposit in the box. We give them the equivalent value in

cyberchips for the virtual casino, and they're free to find a booth.

Hold it. Hold it.

You all get a place.

Payments in the box, one at a time on your way in, and we'll give you credit.

Remember, once you're in, you're here until close.

I wonder how they'll get on with that electricity.

Well, time to see.

This one's from me, Mega.

One of the major goods is down.

I'll get the reports as soon as I can.

I don't need any reports. I know what's happening.

Epony, enough is enough. We take her out now.

Gal, what are you doing?

20 more seconds and into the shower and I can get it off. Get what off? What is

that?

I've just realized how it works.

What?

When you lose your soul, no one sees, no one hears. There's no

crack of thunder. It just happens.

Oh, hey.

This is stupid. I'm right. I've got to see Bray.

You should know, both of you, that I've been to see Mega and I've told him I'm

ready to cooperate.

I don't believe it.

Believe what you want, Jay.

She had no choice.

If she goes over to him, the whole city will follow.

He's won.

She can't do it.

She can't.

The wheel of fortune is spinning. The ball of destiny is bouncing.

And the lucky winner might just be you.

So, what do you think?

I think it's a good thing I left.

A word missing means a thriving thing.

You can't win in a win. What do you say?

Oh, now why would I want to do that?

Why don't you get a share?

A big share.

And why would you want to do that?

You know, I thought I might make you a little more friendly.

Not a chance creep.

Not even in reality.

Where's Ebony?

She's not here.

Well, where is she?

She's gone on some raid. She's not back yet.

We leave. Now.

Hey!

What about me?

Well, go on. Open up.

I'm sick of this rat trap.

Jay, I thought you were someone who listened before judging people.

I'm not judging anyone.

Yes, you are.

You're judging her.

What am I supposed to do?

I carry no weight in this city, Trudy.

Only Amber can do that.

I just never thought she'd give up.

You want to know why?

Do you?

Mega threatened her, Jay.

What do you mean?

He threatened her baby.

If she didn't cooperate?

He wouldn't.

Wait, wait. What are you going to do?

See him.

No, no, no. You can't go like this, Jay. You have to calm down first.

I've stayed calm long enough. No, Jay.

Jay!

Is that alcohol?

What's it to you?

I don't want any.

I just want help, please. I hurt my hand.

I'll pay you back as soon as I get back to my tribe.

What tribe?

The Moorak.

Your lot did a deal with Mega.

Now you're living like kings.

No, that's not true.

It was Megan.

He came for you, Ebony, not your sister. And he'll come again.

I'll be waiting. With what? He's got the weapons you don't.

And you talk too much.

That's something I've never been accused of before.

Your strategy isn't working. Or is it just blind revenge?

I suggest you leave, mister.

Fast.

If that's what you really want.

But you tell me this.

What would have happened if you were here today?

Do you think you'd still be standing here?

Or lying in the dust like your friends?

Good luck, Ebony.

You're gonna need it.

Ellie, what are you doing? That's the last bug. We killed it and the whole

is clean.

Yeah, well, maybe we don't want it clean.

Okay, that's crazy.

No, listen to me.

If we can... What are you two looking so guilty about?

We've done it, girl.

Mega surveillance bugs.

We got rid of them all.

Surveillance bugs?

Yeah, the whole place was crawling with them.

But it's okay now.

They won't be in anybody's hair, eh?

Great!

Great job, Jack.

Okay, are you nuts? Of course we want this place clean. That thing is in our

room. Yeah, exactly, Jack. That's why we've got to leave it there.

Think about it, Jack.

With that one bug, we control the situation.

Meg is only going to hear what we want him to.

You're pretty amazing, aren't you?

Yeah, I know.

Wait.

Wait.

What happened?

In some cases, they're unlike the Marats.

Do you think you can get up?

What happened to your hand?

God, it looks bad.

Come on.

We've got to find somewhere safe.

Jay? Jay?

Jay, stop Jay!

Stop!

No babies to threaten here, Mega.

Just you and me.

And that's one too many.
