(grunts)

- This is Kwarli's, it was stolen.

Who are you?

- Maybe he can't hear.

(clap)

- He can hear alright.

It's almost like he doesn't know he's here.

Or even that we are.

(native music)

- Authorities are appealing for calm

throughout the evacuation process.

(native music)

(machine whirs)

- Dan, Sky, what are you both doing here?

- It's a long story, yes.

- Who's this?

- Good question.

- Look, Sky and Dan are back.

(calm music)

You've been away for so long.

(tools clunking)

- I wonder what they're up to.

- Something by the look of it.

- [Sal] Tell us what you've been doing.

- Who's that with them?

- I have no idea.

Let's go find out.

- [Sal] It's so good to see you.

- [Erin] I'm so glad you're back.

What have you been doing?

- [Kwarli] The machine horse, my boots.

- [Erin] Doesn't he talk?

(crow caws)

- Ah! No!

- Are you alright, Miss Harmony?

- Don't look at me!

- Are you in pain?

- Worse than pain!

- What is it?

- A spot!

- Miss Harmony please try and calm down.

- How can this happen to me?

- I get spots all the time.

- But you're not me.

Today of all days.

You're going to have to cancel my appearance.

- Everyone will be so disappointed.

- Tough.

- They're all looking forward to seeing you, Mistress.

- I know they adore me, but looking like this?

- (sighs) I'm sure no one will notice.

- And if they do?

- I can't even notice, really.

There's no need to be so upset.

Why worry about what anyone thinks?

- Because I do.

I don't mean to, I just do.

- If it means that much to you Miss Harmony,

there is a way of still doing the appearance.

- How?

(guitar music)

- [Sky] Can you place a guard here?

- [Zora] If you want.

- It might not hurt, just in case he tries to take off.

- Where did you find him?

- He found us, in the forest.

- Shall we untie him?

He seems pretty harmless.

(gate creaks)

- If you want, but be careful, Omar.

He's a strange one.

- Certainly seems to be different.

- You can say that again.

He just won't talk.

I don't know whether he can't, or he just refuses to.

- You can sit down, if you like.

- You see what I mean?

He's like that all the time.

- C'mon, sit down.

We're not going to hurt you.

- I wonder where he's from, who he is.

- Whoever he is, if he stole the stuff from us,

he obviously can't be trusted.

- Maybe he didn't steal it.

He could have gotten it all in a trade.

- It'd be difficult to trade without talking.

- I thought the way he acts was just that, an act.

But now.

- Seems pretty genuine to me.

- And me.

- I'll ask the ancestor for guidance.

- If this isn't an act, he's probably laughing to himself.

Is that what you're doing?

- I don't think he'll be doing that, Zora.

- Never know though.

We'd better be careful of him, till we know for sure.

(soothing music)

- Look what I've got, Happy.

You remember the present that was stolen?

Well, you'll never guess.

Sky and Dan found it and brought it back.

Do you like it?

- No, I hate it.

And if you look at me one more time, I'll eat you all up.

(makes clucking noise)

- Don't be rotten, Erin.

(sighs)

- Would you want a present like that?

I wouldn't.

- That's because you're not a chicken.

- Oh really?

(makes clucking noises)

- Don't pay attention to him, Sal.

He's just being mean.

I'm sure Happy loves the present.

- Do you?

- Yeah, I think it's really cute.

- I'll make one for your birthday as well then.

- It's alright, you don't have to.

- What do you think, Happy, should I make one for Leanne?

(chick peeps)

That means yes in baby chick language.

Say thanks to Happy.

- Thanks Happy.

- No, you have to say it in Happy's language, like this.

(cheeps)

C'mon, Happy's waiting.

(cheeps)

(crow caws)

- [Harmony] Very good, yes.

Immaculate uniform, perfect.

- Don't get too close, Miss Harmony has a cold.

(coughs)

- [Harmony] You can touch the arm, though.

Yes, it's me.

I know it's hard to believe, but I am real.

See?

And I hear all about the good job you're doing.

And I know I can count on you all,

now that Flame and Shadow have gone.

- Count on us?

Yeah right.

- If not, you'll regret it.

I hear the Forbidden Zone

can be a nightmare this time of year.

(ominous music)

(machine roars)

(ominous music)

- Ancestor, thank you for the safe return of Sky and Dan.

Give me your wisdom to understand the stranger in our midst.

Show me a sign that he brings no danger, my dear ancestor.

Protect us from the word of Zoot

so your light shines in the darkness.

(thunder booms)

(ominous music)

(machine creaks)

- [Faygar] Hear me, mighty ancestor,

protect us from all danger, from the machines,

the Privileged, and Warps.

As well as ourselves.

(ominous music)

(lightning strikes)

Give Zora guidance so that the Ants and Barbs

can live together in peace and harmony.

Show me the way.

- Never thought I'd see you here, Flame.

- That makes two of us.

- Now you know how Dan and I felt with the Discards.

- [Kwarli] Was it hard though, Sky?

- Really hard.

- All thanks to you, Flame.

- Harmony and Shadow were in charge of the Discards.

- Don't try blaming them for something that you did.

- I think he already has.

- I always said everyone deserved their freedom,

but they never seemed to listen.

- I bet.

- You're all in no position to criticize.

I hear you've got someone locked up.

- It's different to the Discards.

- Maybe to you.

So who is he, this friend you're holding?

- I was going to ask you the same question.

- Never seen him before.

- Sure about that?

- Positive.

If I know, I'd tell you.

- You'd only do anything if you could benefit from it.

- Well then ask your friend.

He'll tell you I've never met him in my life.

- I would, but he doesn't seem to talk.

- Is that right?

Well that's not going to work, is it?

- No.

- Believe me Sky, I don't know anything about him.

Haven't seen him before today.

- I'll catch up with you guys later.

- [Omar] Right.

- [Kwarli] See ya.

(guitar music)

- How's Gwyn?

- Same as always.

- So you didn't make up with her then?

- She expected me to be a Discard,

watched her personal handmaiden to Harmony.

- Did you find out what Harmony might have planned,

now that she's in charge?

- No, that's one thing about my sister,

she's full of secrets.

- I'm sure she has your best interest at heart, Dan.

- The only interest she has is her own.

I can't believe the way she is sometimes.

(soothing music)

- You alright in here?

Do you want something to eat?

What's all this?

Did you mark all this out?

Who are you?

- [Harmony] They adored me.

- You seem surprised.

- The Privileged can be very demanding.

Even superficial at times.

- Really? I hadn't noticed.

I mean, at least you know where you stand

with the Privileged.

But with the Discards.

- Peasants, all of them.

It's the Warps you have to worry about.

- Are you, Miss Harmony?

Worried about them?

- Whatever gave you that idea?

- I just thought after Flame and Shadow,

it might be different now.

- It is.

I lead, everyone else follows.

It's gone.

- The spot was hardly even there

in the first place, Miss Harmony.

- But it was there, and now it's not.

Finito, vanished, gone.

This calls for a celebration.

(calm guitar music)

- You put this all over there

and make sure you do a good job.

We'll be planting new seeds tomorrow.

- Since when did you give orders around here?

- Since I became in charge of the vegetables.

Now go on, get to work.

- Just go with her, Dan.

We're teaching her how to farm.

- Teaching her to be like Flame.

I feel like a Discard again.

- Hey you.

- It's Sal and you shouldn't be talking,

you should be working.

- Yeah yeah yeah, I get the picture.

Hey listen, I like the way you boss people.

- Really?

- Yeah, but let me give you a tip.

Threaten them with the Forbidden Zone

if they don't do what you say.

- Leave her alone, Flame.

- Quiet or you'll go to the Forbidden Zone.

- Got it, nice one!

- So will you.

(thud)

- What was that for?

- No talking. Get back to work.

Otherwise you'll get more.

- Okay, okay, I'm going.

- You'd better.

- Serves you right.

You asked for it.

- What do you make of it?

- I don't know, but it obviously means something to him.

Look at the way he's staring.

- Does it look like a star to you?

- Could be.

- It does to me.

And what are those circles?

And what does this all have to do with Zoot?

And the machines?

- Whatever it is, you know don't you?

- It's so frustrating.

I just can't work it out.

- We should show these to Kwarli.

He's not only our best tracker,

but he can navigate by the stars.

Maybe he knows something.

- Worth a try.

- Cass said you both wanted to see me.

- Take a look at these.

- Could you work out what they might mean?

(ominous music)

- No, it can't be.

Ancestor, protect us.

- What is it Faygar?

What's wrong?

- Save us, ancestor, I beg you please.

- Tell us, Faygar, what is it?

(soothing music)

(crunches)

- This is great.

- Glad you think so.

(snaps)

- Water.

Goodness sakes, Gwyn, what's the matter with you?

You look like you've been sucking on sour lemons.

- Sorry, Mistress.

- What is it?

- By celebration, I thought you meant a feast for everybody.

- By everyone, you mean including you?

- Well it would be nice to have something

special to eat at times.

As a treat.

- Very well.

- I didn't mean being treated like a dog at a table.

- Just don't get above yourself, Gwyn.

I'm the mistress you serve.

I decide when we can have a feast

and when to eat special meals.

Because I'm special and you're not.

Understand?

- Yes, Miss Harmony, I understand.

(crunches)

(owl hoots)

(machine whirs)

(mystical music)

- I still don't think you should

read anything into it, Faygar.

- I asked the ancestor for guidance, to give me a sign.

- Well this could be a sign.

Or this.

Doesn't have to be the markings the boy drew.

- The markings of Zoot.

- Oooo, scary.

- Shut it, Flame.

Faygar has the gift of seeing.

- Just because the boy drew Zoot's goggles,

doesn't mean it's the descendant you've always feared.

- The little ones don't understand.

We don't wanna frighten them.

- I'm not scared.

- Neither am I.

- Ah! He's here.

- Who?

- Kwarli.

- That's not very nice, Erin.

- Sorry, just wanted to have some fun.

- Seems like a storm's coming.

- How'd you get on?

- I think I figured some of it out.

- Perhaps I should put the little ones to bed

while you talk over it all.

- It's early.

- It's late enough.

Do as Cass says.

- Can I have a story?

- Of course you can.

- Careful not to mention the machines.

You know what it can do to the imagination.

- That's enough, Flame.

Perhaps you should leave as well.

This is a meeting between the Barbs and the Ants.

- Have a good sleep everyone.

Hope you don't have any nightmares

or get interrupted if Zoot returns.

- Out.

- Don't worry, I'm going.

(thuds)

- So, what've you got?

(thunder booms and lightning strikes)

(machine rumbles)

(owl hoots)

(machine creaks)

(lightning strikes)

(machine creaks)

(lightning strikes)

- I'm frightened.

- It's just a storm, Sal.

Thunder and lightning won't hurt you.

- But the machines will though.

- They must be on patrol.

- Come on, you know the machines never stray

out of the Forbidden Zone.

Let's get back to the story.

Where were we?

- The rabbits were having a party.

- I'm sick of the rabbits.

- I like them.

- This story's for girls.

- You'll get a story, Erin.

Just be patient.

(thunder rumbles)

So this little rabbit went for a run in the forest.

And you'll never guess what he found.

- A machine who attacked him.

(lightning strikes)

- No, a spider who turned out

to be the rabbit's best friend.

Until one day

(lightning strikes)

- I think the circle is the moon,

judging by the distance of the southern stars.

- You think?

- No, I'm sure it definitely is, Sky.

(thunder rumbles)

Whoever this boy is, he has

an amazing knowledge of astronomy.

All the planets and star systems.

(mystical music)

(lightning strikes)

He's marked how to run

and the sparkling cluster exactly to scale.

- What does it all mean though?

- Difficult to say, but if this is the moon

then I think this marking here must be the sun.

- Where was Zoot again?

- [Kwarli] For some reason, here.

- Why?

- The prophecies?

- What do you think, Kwarli?

- The prophecies make no mention of the machines, do they?

- No.

- Then I have no idea.

But I think the distance of the sun

to the marking of the machines, here and here,

could have something to do

with the time the machines patrol.

- How?

- The machine seems to patrol at the same time,

more or less, at sun high.

Which would place the moon exactly where he's drawn it.

(machine screeches)

- I've seen similar markings like that, in the cave.

- I've seen similar ones myself

on some stones and rocks near the northern forests.

- Same here.

But they would have been drawn in the old times.

- Are you saying that these markings the boy drew

are from the ancient times?

- And just like the machine monsters, Dan.

- But he's not, is he?

(lightning strikes)

(machine creaks)

- He could have easily remembered seeing them

and copied them.

- Exactly to scale?

I doubt it, Zora.

- Maybe the boy has the gift of sight.

Or knows of more prophecies.

- Maybe, but whatever it is, he knows something we don't.

That's for sure.

(thunder rumbles)

(lightning strikes)

(ominous music)

- I have someone who would like to meet you, Flame.

- And I have something which would like to eat you, Flame.

(machine roars)

(laughs)

Loser.

(gasps)

(birds chirp)

- Are you sure about this?

- We've gotta try and find out more information.

And I think the caves might hold the answer.

- Or the prophecies.

- Will you be alright with that boy?

- We'll keep him under guard.

- You used to think I was a descendant of Zoot, remember?

And you were wrong.

So I don't think you have too much to worry about.

- Wrong, right, who knows anymore?

- Here you go.

- Thanks.

At least we won't be hungry.

- [Zora] Ready?

- It's not fair.

I wish I could go.

- Zora knows all the caves and forests

better than anyone, Dan.

Another time.

- You both take care.

- Don't worry, we will.

- Good luck.

- Thanks, see you in a day or two,

hopefully with more information.
