Episode 25
SCENE 1
(All the Mallrats have gathered in the park on the wide open grass. They are standing in a circle with Amber in the middle. Some are crying, the rest just looks sad.)
Amber: We've gathered here for a sad event. Two of our friends have gone lost and will only be with us in our hearts. Sammy and Mouse have added joy and laughter to this tribe and formed strong bonds. You will be greatly missed and we're sorry, we couldn't do more for you. May you rest in peace.
Mallrats (mumble): Rest in peace.
(Amber steps back into the circle and they all join hands with their faces turned to the sky. They stand like this for a moment, then Lottie breaks free and runs away and the whole group breaks off into smaller groups. Amber leans against Bray.)
Amber: I just wish, we could've given them a real funeral. To really put their bodies to rest.
Bray: I know. I feel the same way.
(Camera moves to Salene, who walks to the tree next to the vegetable garden and pulls a leather necklace with a shell on it out of her pocket. She wraps it around the lowest branch. Trudy puts a hand on her shoulder, both women have tears in their eyes.)
Salene: This was Mouse's. How I wish she had never left the Eco's. She would have been safe there.
Trudy: At least she was happy, Salene. She was happy to be here with us again.
Salene (sobs): She was so small. So small, Trudy.
(The two friends hold on to each other for support as the camera fades to black.)
SCENE 2
(Lex and Ryan are walking towards the hospital after the little ceremony in the park. They're both deep in thought until Lex breaks the silence.)
Lex: Do you think the Anarchists care about missing people? Like would they prevent the word from getting out?
Ryan (shrugs): I don't know. Why?
Lex: I put up some posters about Tai-San the other day, but they were all torn down.
Ryan: That's weird. There are a lot more posters out there.
Lex: That's what I was thinking.
Ryan: Mhm...
(They fall silent again and enter the hospital.)
SCENE 3
(Camera fades in on Jay sitting in the café with a cup of coffee. He rests his head on his hand and is watching something intently. Camera turns around to show that he's watching Patch, Dylan and Chester.)
FLASHBACK
(A younger Jay is entering a hospital after he got the call that his mother had been brought in. A nurse leads him to a ward in the emergency room where a younger Ved is lying in the foetal position on the gurney and is crying. Without hesitation Jay climbs on the gurney and holds his brother close.)
Ved: I... She's... I didn't know what to do.
Jay: She's...?
(Instead of answering Ved whimpers and claws at Jay's shirt. Jay soon shares his brother's emotions as it sink in that his mother has died.)
Jay: I'll look out for you. I promise
FLASHBACK ENDS
(Jay averts his eyes from the three brothers as Dylan hugs Patch and kisses him on the cheek.)
SCENE 4
(Camera moves over to Dylan, Patch and Chester. Dylan has a firm hold on his oldest brother, he looks pale and scared, while Chester looks pleadingly at Patch.)
Chester: Can we please go? More bad thing are going to happen, I know it.
Patch: But these are our friends, Chester. We can't just leave them now. Don't you care about...
Chester: Sammy and Mouse won't come back. Ever! I don't want to be here and think of them all the time.
Patch (sighs): Let me think about it, okay?
Chester: Please.
(Camera fades out.)
SCENE 5
(Most of the Mallrats have gathered in the café now. The mood is still bad with only a few quiet conversations here and there. Lex stands up.)
Lex: We have to do something! We can't just sit here and let those creeps get away with this.
Bray: What do you propose, Lex?
Lex: We find them and we get even.
Bray: There are a lot of them. There might even be more than us.
Lex: So?
Amber: You could get killed. Let's not do anything rash.
Lex: Yea, let's sit here and twiddle our thumbs a little more. That has worked out perfectly so far.
Amber: That's not what I'm saying. I just think we should have a plan.
Ebony: Then let us hear that plan.
Amber: I don't have one yet.
Lex: Great!
Amber (sighs): It's not easy with the way they are organized.
Bray: Because they aren't organized at all. With the Chosen we had to get rid of the Guardian. With the Consilium we had to get to Kaelem.
Lex: Then we take them all out.
Ebony: You're joking, right? How are you going to take out all of them?
Lex: We'll see.
Amber (rolls her eyes): No, we won't! You won't attack any of them. Not now, not on your own!
(Lex glares at her and leaves the café. Camera fades out.)
SCENE 6
(Camera cuts to Kayla in her vegetable garden as she waters the plants. She looks to the tree not far from her, where Mouse's necklace sways in the wind.)
FLASHBACK
(Kayla, Dylan and Mouse are working together in the vegetable garden)
Kayla: I survived. I know a few things about surviving, but apparently I didn't do the best job since I got snatched up by the Chosen.
Mouse: That's okay. Many good people were taken by the Chosen.
(The little girl pats her arm with her dirty hand and Kayla can't help but smile at her.)
Kayla: You're right. And now I'm here and I'm not alone anymore.
FLASHBACK ENDS
Gel OS: You should talk to KC.
(Gel walks into the screen and leans against the tree.)
Kayla: Why?
Gel: Because you're friends and it's a stupid thing to fight over. (chokes) S-Sammy used to be my friend and now he's gone. I can't even remember the last time I talked to him.
Kayla: I'm sorry, Gel.
Gel: Just talk to him, okay?
(She turns around and leaves Kayla alone.)
SCENE 7
(Camera fades in on Lottie sitting on Sammy's bed, hugging her knees and crying. Her fingers play with the hem of her shorts. Ruby enters and tries talking to her. Lottie looks up at her, but no sound is heard as Ruby moves her lips. Lottie just rests her forehead on her knees and closes her eyes.)
SCENE 8
(Camera cuts to the corridor as Ruby leaves the room. Ram is leaning against the wall next to the door.)
Ram: And?
Ruby (shakes her head): I don't think she even listens to me. I'm really worried about her.
Ram: Maybe she just needs time.
(They start walking towards the café.)
Ruby: I just wish, she'd talk to me. We've all lost someone, she needs to know, she's not alone in her grief.
Ram: It's not always the same, Ruby. When I lost Java it was different than when my parents died. It hurt differently.
Ruby: I just want to help her.
Ram: You can't take the pain away.
Ruby (smiles): Since when do you know so much about people, huh?
(Ram shrugs. Ruby looks at him amazed with slightly parted lips for a few seconds, before she quickly looks away.)
Ruby: Ram, I...
Ram (raises his eyebrows): Yes?
Ruby: I... Thank you.
(She gives him a quick peck on the cheek and walks away. Ram looks after her confused, but then a smile spreads across his face.)
SCENE 9
(Patch is sitting on one of the sofas in the entrance hall with Dee lying next to him, her head in his lap. He plays with her hair as they talk.)
Patch: I know you want to stay here, but Dylan and Chester are really miserable. I can't blame them for being scared.
Dee: Can't we make them feel safe somehow?
Patch: How? To be honest, I'm kind of scared myself. I don't want anything to happen to them. Or you.
Dee: But it's not safe out there either. Especially not with them.
Patch: We could find a new place.
Dee: But they need us here now.
Patch: My brothers need me, too. They're my first priority.
Dee: Look, if you go, I'm coming with you. I don't want to be here without you. It's your call.
Patch: I don't want to drag you away form your friends.
Dee: Patch, the most important part is for me to be with you and if that's only possible if we leave this city and the Mallrats behind, I'm willing to do it again.
Patch: You're perfect.
(He takes one of her hands and presses it against his lips. Dee smiles and sits up so she can kiss wrap her arms around his neck and kiss him. Camera fades out.)
SCENE 10
(Camera fades in on Jay walking along the corridor until he reaches Ebony's room. He enters without knocking and interrupts a kiss between her and Slade. He grins, but doesn't apologize. Slade rolls his eyes.)
Slade: I was about to leave anyway.
(He looks at Ebony for a long time before actually leaving and shoots Jay a cold look as he passes him.)
Jay: I get the feeling, he doesn't really like me.
Ebony (dryly): Surprise!
Jay: So you're back together?
Ebony: Looks like it.
Jay: Should I say congratulations? Looks like me getting punched in the face was something good after all.
Ebony: What do you want, Jay?
Jay (shrugs): Nothing. You were very intent on being my friend again, remember? Are you one of those girls who can't have friends, when they are in a relationship?
(Ebony snorts)
Jay: That's what I thought.
Ebony: Does that mean you don't have any other friends than me?
Jay: It doesn't, but I knew you wouldn't be too upset about Mouse and Sammy and that's what I need right now.
Ebony: Oh? So you don't care?
Jay: That's not what I meant. I do care. They were good kids and they didn't deserve what happened to them. But it made me think of Ved.
Ebony: Why?
Jay: Because I swore to protect him after our parents died and I didn't. I failed him, just like I failed to protect Sammy and Mouse.
Ebony: But Ved's not dead.
Jay: He might be.
Ebony: Don't be stupid. He was deleted, we all know that doesn't mean dead. Bray was deleted and he's right here smooching your woman.
Jay (rolls his eyes): She's not my woman anymore.
Ebony: You're missing the point here.
(He smiles at her and leans in to kiss her, but stops himself just as she is about to move away.)
Jay (laughs): Sorry. Gotta remember the boyfriend.
Ebony: You better, unless you want to get punched again.
Jay: I could do without.
(Camera fades out.)
SCENE 11
(Camera cuts to the park, where Trudy is pushing Brady on the swing. The little girl is singing to herself while Trudy seems to be deep in thought.)
Brady: mummy?
(Trudy doesn't seem to hear her.)
Brady (louder): mummy, stop!
(Trudy snaps out of it and grabs the swing so it stops. Brady jumps down and looks up at her mother.)
Brady: Mouse and Sammy don't come back. Right?
Trudy (nods): No, they are with your daddy now.
Brady (points to the sky): Up there?
Trudy: Yes.
Brady: Why? They didn't say goodbye.
Trudy: Oh, honey, they didn't know. It just happened. Sometimes in life things happen that we can't control, which we just have to accept. Dying is one of them.
Brady: I miss them. They have to come back!
(Trudy kneels and opens her arms and the little girl immediately walks into them.)
Trudy: They can't. I miss them, too.
Brady: I want to talk to them.
Trudy: You can. They are watching over you now just like your daddy. When you talk to them, they'll hear it.
(Brady frees herself of the embrace, walks a few steps and then stops. She looks up into the sky and folds her hands.)
Brady: Sammy and Mouse, I wish you wasn't dead. I wish you would come and play with me again. I think it's very mean that you just left. Can you please, please, please come back?
(Camera zooms in on Trudy who watches her daughter as tears are falling from her eyes.)
SCENE 12
(Camera fades in on Bray and Amber's room. She is busy cleaning up the room as Bray enters. He stops in the doorway and watches her for a while.)
Bray: Amber...
(She doesn't respond, so he walks up to her and wraps his arms around her, but she frees herself of him.)
Amber: Not now.
Bray: Amber, will you look at me?
Amber: I'm busy, Bray.
Bray: No, you're not. The room is clean.
Amber (turns around): I'm busy thinking.
Bray: You don't have to do this alone, okay. I'll be here and I'll help you.
Amber: We need to do something about the Anarchists and I just don't know how. And I'm scared for Bray Jr and the other kids who can't fend for themselves. This is only getting worse every day that we don't do anything, Bray.
Bray: I know, but you don't have to carry this burden by yourselves. We're all worried and we all want to do something. I'm sure Noel is also more than willing to help.
Amber: That's all great, but if we don't have a plan it doesn't matter how many we are.
(She pushes him out of the way and walks out of the room. Bray looks after her with concern written all over his face.)
SCENE 13
(The scene starts out black and sobs are heard, the camera fades in from black to show Gel sitting on her bed with a picture of her and Sammy in her hands.)
Gel: I'm so sorry, Sammy. I was a horrible friend to you. I'm sorry.
(She wipes the tears from her face as she hears approaching footsteps and quickly hides the picture under her pillow. She turns around to see Darryl smiling at her.)
Darryl: Lex is starting the training now. You said, you wanted to join.
Gel (nods): I'm coming.
Darryl: I still don't understand why you want to. You've never been interested in fighting before and I'll protect you.
(She stands up and follows him out of the room.)
Gel: And what if you're not around? I don't want to be this scared anymore. I want to be able to defend myself.
(Camera watches them walk down the long corridor before it fades to black.)
SCENE 14
(Camera fades in from black to show a group of Mallrats gathered in the park. Lex, Ryan and Dee are handing out planks, bats and poles to Kayla, Ellie, Gel, Darryl, KC, Patch and Salene. Since Ryan's arm still isn't completely healed Lex and Dee demonstrate the fighting techniques while Ryan walks around the others and corrects them now and then.)
Ryan: Gel, put some strength in it. You want to hurt him not tickle him.
Gel: Actually I don't. I don't want to bruise his pretty face.
Ryan (rolls his eyes): You know what, Darryl go practice with KC, Patch you can fight with Gel.
(The two boys change partners and continue fighting. Camera moves to Kayla and Ellie just as Ellie pushes Kayla back and she loses her footing. Ellie holds her pole close to Kayla's head so signal she won. Smiling she then helps Kayla up again.)
Kayla: You've done this before?
Ellie: A little, but I'm not very good.
Kayla (sullen): Better than me.
Ellie: Don't worry. A little practice will do the trick.
Lex: Less time chatting, more time fighting, ladies!
(They giggle but follow his orders and start practising again.)
SCENE 15
(A little farther away Alice and Jay stand watching the training.)
Jay: Ellie is really good.
Alice: She's always been a fierce little lady.
Jay: Yea, well...
Alice (frowns): What do you mean?
Jay: When I met her, she wasn't like this at all. She was a mess.
Alice: Ellie?
Jay (nods): She tried to kill Ebony and Salene told me that she didn't eat well and tried to jump of the mall.
Alice (shocked): What?! Oh my God, the poor thing. What happened?
Jay (shrugs): The Technos had taken a lot of your friends. I think she couldn't deal with it.
Alice (glares at him): Weren't you responsible for that? It's your fault I couldn't be there for my little sister when she needed me.
(Jay looks away.)
Alice: Now you just ignore me?
Jay: No. I was just thinking. I'm really sorry for all the things I did as a Techno. I tried making up for them.
Alice: Bad things don't just go away because you decide to be nice. You can't unhurt people.
Jay: I know. It's not like the Technos didn't take something from me as well.
Alice: And what's that? Your squeaky clean image?
Jay: My brother. He angered Ram and was deleted.
Alice: But Ram's here. You could just ask him.
Jay: I did. Ram doesn't know anything. He wasn't concerned with it as long as Ved disappeared.
(He turns to watch the fighting practice again. A transparent picture of Ved crosses the screen. Camera cuts to the next scene.)
SCENE 16
(Bray, Amber, Lex, Ebony and Ram have gathered in the café to discuss the topic at hand: the Anarchists.)
Lex: I still say, we just fight them all.
Ebony: Just shut it, Lex. That's not an option and you know it.
Amber: What about diplomacy? We could talk to them.
Bray: To who? With no leader there's no one we can talk to.
Ram: They might have a spokesperson. Someone who does the talking for them.
Amber: I just don't understand how they even work without a leader. How is there order?
Ebony: There is none. Maybe that's what they want. Everyone on their own doing what they want and ready to defend their choices if need be.
Ram: They don't call themselves Anarchists for nothing, I suppose.
Lex: So it's power and chaos all over again? (glares at Ebony) Don't you get any stupid ideas.
Ebony (rolls her eyes): Oh please.
Bray: Maybe it's because their behaviour doesn't have consequences. They do what they want and the rest of us get pissed, but we don't do anything about it.
Ram: Well, you're either pissed or dead as it seems.
Ebony: Don't forget they actually kill their own if they lose a fight. We wouldn't even have to kill them ourselves.
Amber: I don't want to fight them.
Ebony: But it looks like you have to, sugar. There's no talking to those creeps.
Amber: We haven't tried yet.
Lex: So you're just going to walk up to them and ask for a nice little chat about their stupid ideas? I don't think so.
Amber: There must be some way to settle this without turning the whole city into a war zone.
Bray: If there is, I can't think of it right now.
Ram: After what they did to Sammy and Mouse you're just going to give them a slap on the hand and tell them to not do it again?
Amber: No, they should be prosecuted of course.
Ebony: We're getting nowhere!
(She stands up and leaves and soon Ram and Lex follow suit. All muttering to themselves.)
Amber: What do you think?
Bray: I told you. I just don't know.
Amber: Some help you are.
(She shakes her head and leaves the café too. Bray sighs and buries his head on the table as the camera fades out.)
SCENE 17
(Camera pans around the park as the training is over. Darryl and KC are collecting the weapons, a little farther away Kayla is watching them. She sighs and walks up to them, Darryl smiles but KC is ignoring her.)
Kayla: KC?
(He looks up at her coldly, hands Darryl the weapons and walks away.)
Kayla: Great.
(She runs after him shouting his name. The others look on with great interest.)
Kayla: Slow down, please. I'm trying to talk to you.
KC: And I'm walking because I don't want to talk to you. Get lost!
Kayla: No! Listen to me!
KC: Why? So you can insult me some more and be a really disgusting person in general.
(She grabs his arm and KC pulls it away but stops.)
KC: Now you listen to me, Kayla. I was trying to help because I thought you were my friend. You pushed it too far. Okay? All you said about Gel and Darryl, that was really low and then bringing up Sparrow when you knew how I felt about that? That's disgusting and for what? Because you have a stupid crush that's never going to turn into anything and which you are too stupid to see. Or maybe you're just ignorant and choose to overlook that small but important detail.
Kayla: KC, I...
KC: You're sorry? Good.
(He starts walking again and she has to run after him again.)
Kayla: Wait!
KC: What else? Are you going to excuse yourself now?
Kayla: No. I just want to say that I'm really sorry and I know I went too far. You're my best friend. Like... the best friend I've ever had and I don't want to lose you because of a stupid fight about stupid things. Because you're right. I was too concerned about myself and didn't want anyone to tell me what to do.
KC: It hurt. What you said, it hurt.
Kayla: I know. I'm so sorry. It was such a low blow and I just shouldn't have done it no matter how angry I was with you.
KC (shrugs): Okay.
Kayla: Okay, what?
KC: Okay, I accept your apology, but that doesn't mean I'm not still mad at you.
Kayla: I guess I deserve that.
(He nods as a small smile spreads on his face. He punches her in the arm not so friendly and walks away. Kayla rubs the spot and smiles before hurrying after him for the third time.)
SCENE 18
(Dylan and Chester are in their room with Chester playing on an old gameboy and Dylan flicking through a comic book trying to read it, but mainly looking at the pictures. Patch and Dee enter the room and the two younger boys stop what they're doing.)
Patch: I've talked to Dee about your wish to leave.
Chester: And?
Dee: And I said, it's up to Patch. If you want to leave, I'm not keeping you.
Dylan: Are you not coming?
Dee (smiles): I'll be wherever Patch is and as he will be wherever you are that means we're all going to be together.
Chester: So we leave?
Patch (nods): I don't want you to be scared all the time.
Dylan: When do we go?
Patch: You pack and say goodbye and we leave tonight.
Dee: We thought it would be easiest to get this over with as fast as possible.
(Dylan and Chester jump off their beds and pull Dee and Patch into a big group hug. Camera fades out.)
SCENE 19
(The sound of throwing up is heard before the camera fades in from black to show Alice in the bathroom. She groans and pulls her hair back.)
Alice (mutters): Now, little one, I thought we had a great thing going on. Why do you insist on making this harder?
(She turns white as she throws up some more. In her hurry to get to the bathroom she hasn't closed the door. Kayla walks past the open door, hears the retching and enters.)
Kayla: Alice? Are you okay?
(Alice quickly turns around with a shocked expression, which she quickly hides behind a smile. She gets up and washes her face.)
Alice: I'm fine.
Kayla: You didn't sound fine. Are you sick?
Alice: An upset stomach maybe.
Kayla: Are you sure?
Alice: Yes, Kayla, I'm sure.
Kayla: Okay. Come on, I'll make you a cup of tea.
Alice (smiles): That'd be great.
(The two girl leave the bathroom and camera fades to black.)
SCENE 20
(Dylan and Chester are walking down the corridor with bags slung over their shoulders. They open the door to Lottie's room which is empty and then turn to Sammy and Mouse's old room on the other side. The door is open and Lottie is still sitting on Sammy's bed with her knees pulled up to her chest.)
Dylan: Lottie?
(She doesn't react, so the boys enter and stand in front of her.)
Chester: Lottie, we want to say goodbye.
Dylan: I'll miss you.
Lottie (whispers): You're leaving me, too?
Chester: We're going with Patch and Dee. I'm sorry.
(Dylan climbs onto the bed and wraps his arms around her and rests his forehead against hers.)
Dylan: Please get better, Lottie. Be happy again.
Lottie: How?
Dylan: In a while, you can try to be happy again.
Chester: I hope we'll see you again some day.
(Dylan kisses Lottie on the cheek and crawls off the bed. Chester kisses her other cheek and takes Dylan's hand.)
Dylan: Bye, Lottie.
Chester: Don't cry so much anymore.
(They leave and Lottie sinks down on the bed, presses her hands over her mouth and drains out the sobs this way.)
SCENE 21
(Camera cuts to the edge of the city, where Cal, Cara and Paul are scanning the roads.)
Cara (points): It's this one.
Cal: But didn't you say to go south? That's west.
Cara: Which one is south then?
(Paul points to the road right in front of them.)
Cal: How long is it from here?
Cara: He said half a day of walking. I bet we can get there sooner.
Cal: Then let's go.
(They start walking down the road Paul has pointed to as the wind picks up and blows trash and paper around them. A piece of purple paper gets stuck to Cal's arm and Paul takes it away. He looks at the picture on it with interest and starts reading while the others continue walking. When Cara and Cal have gotten a few metres ahead, Cal turns around and waves his hands wildly to get Paul's attention.)
Cal: Are you coming?
(Paul shakes his head no and holds up the paper.)
Cara (mutters): What now?
Cal: Don't know.
(They walk back to him and he passes the paper to Cal. Camera zooms in on it and we see it's the issue of the Amulet concerning Tai-San.)
Cara: Who's that? Do you know her?
Cal: The Mallrats... That's your old tribe, right?
Paul (nods): Patsy might be there.
Cara: Who's Patsy again?
Paul: Do you ever listen to me, Cara? My sister.
Cara: Oh yea. I remember. Paul and Patsy.
Cal: You want to go check it out, right?
Paul: You don't have to come. You can go to the beach.
Cal: Don't be stupid. You know we're a package deal, always have been.
Cara: I'm part of that package now, am I not? I can go to the beach later.
(Paul beams at them and slides the paper into his pocket.)
Paul: You're the best.
Cara: We know. Trust me, we know.
Paul (grins): We're going to the hospital. That's where they live now.
(Cara puts an arm around both boys and they take a third road to get east to the hospital.)
SCENE 22
(The Mallrats have gathered in the entrance hall around Dee, Patch, Dylan and Chester who are all packed and ready to go.)
Amber: This is really sudden. We'd have liked you to stay, but if this is what you want, we won't keep you.
Dee: It was great to see all of you again and to know you're safe, but this is the best for us.
Kayla (hugs Dylan): I'm sure going to miss your help with the vegetables.
Patch: I'm very grateful to all of you for taking care of my brothers and everything really. I can't thank you enough.
Salene: Just stay safe and maybe come back some time.
Dee (nods): That would be nice.
(They all hug and the four of them start to walk down the road. The camera follows them for a bit before fading out.)
SCENE 23
(Salene is sitting on the bed in Jay's room. She's not crying, but looks very upset. She traces the lines of the pentagram on her hand as she wait for Jay to return. After a while she hears footsteps and turns around. Jay looks surprised to see her.)
Jay: Salene, what are you doing here?
Salene (shrugs): I didn't know where else to go.
Jay: Everything okay?
Salene: Nothing is okay. Sammy and Mouse are dead and people are leaving. Soon there will be no tribe. Everything is falling apart and I don't know what to do.
(Jay sits down next to her and puts an arm around her.)
Jay: We'll get through this. Mallrats are hard to come by. Think of everything you've already overcome? You even defeated the virus twice.
Salene: But this is unlike everything... How can someone be so cruel? They were just kids. They were the future.
Jay: This just means we have to do everything we can to stop them.
Salene: How?
(Jay doesn't answer as he looks straight at the camera, hopelessness is also spreading across his face.)
SCENE 24
(Camera fades in on Darryl standing in his old room. There's still a desk, a bed and a closet, but everything is empty. He smiles and picks up the box at his feet as he walks to Gel's room which is right next door.)
Darryl: This is the last box.
(Gel takes the box from him and presses her lips against his.)
Gel: So this is officially our room now.
Darryl: You really want me here?
Gel: Of course I do.
Darryl (grins): Good, it's too late now anyway.
(Gel places the box on the floor and pulls Darryl closer. He runs a hand through her long hair and caresses her neck.)
Gel: This is something great, I can feel it.
Darryl: I love you.
Gel: I love you, too.
(Their lips meet in a tender kiss, which quickly gets more passionate. Darryl wraps his arms tightly around Gel as they move towards the bed and fall on it. Gel props herself up so she can look at him and runs her thumb along his jawline.)
Gel (giggles): I really do. Don't forget that.
Darryl: I couldn't.
(He pulls her face down to kiss her again and the camera pans out.)
SCENE 25
(Camera cuts to Dee, Patch, Dylan and Chester, who are now at the edge of the city with the forest to their right. The sun is setting as they get off the road and head into the forest to their unknown future.)
(Camera then cuts to Paul, Cara and Cal who are hiding from a group of Anarchists before they continue to walk towards the hospital.)
