0:00:19 > 0:00:20Go! Go! Go!

0:00:22 > 0:00:25Grandmaster, I arrest you in the name of MI9.

0:00:25 > 0:00:28Your reign of terror is over.

0:00:32 > 0:00:34I don't think that's him.

0:00:37 > 0:00:38I'm very sorry.

0:00:38 > 0:00:40I thought you were someone else.

0:00:55 > 0:00:58The 21st century faces a new kind of threat.

0:00:58 > 0:01:01Old school spies have had their day

0:01:01 > 0:01:05and MI9 must create a new breed of skilled undercover agent.

0:01:14 > 0:01:17Hidden in a place no villain will think to look.

0:01:18 > 0:01:20Welcome to MI High.

0:01:26 > 0:01:30Mr Flatley, I asked to see the school records two months ago.

0:01:30 > 0:01:34Why have you filled my desk with waste paper?

0:01:34 > 0:01:37Oh, this isn't waste paper, it's our filing system.

0:01:37 > 0:01:41I invented it, actually. It's rather brilliant.

0:01:41 > 0:01:44Even if I do say so myself.

0:01:44 > 0:01:48- But this is chaos!- No, no, no, no. It's all perfectly logical.

0:01:48 > 0:01:50Each child has a nickname to help me remember who they are

0:01:50 > 0:01:53and each file is arranged alphabetically

0:01:53 > 0:01:55according to those nicknames. For example...

0:01:57 > 0:02:00Robbie Small is filed under C for Cake.

0:02:00 > 0:02:03- Why Cake?- That's easy.

0:02:03 > 0:02:06Small plays for the football team. Footballers get yellow cards.

0:02:06 > 0:02:09Yellow cards aren't as nice as birthday cards

0:02:09 > 0:02:11and if it's your birthday, you'll want some...

0:02:11 > 0:02:13Cake.

0:02:13 > 0:02:17The whole school's administrative system is based on this?

0:02:17 > 0:02:21Well, I have simplified things for you, of course.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24Each child's file is also colour coded

0:02:24 > 0:02:27according to the number of letters in their surname.

0:02:27 > 0:02:29Brilliant.

0:02:29 > 0:02:32It'll take a genius to sort through this lot.

0:02:35 > 0:02:38What class is Rose Gupta in at the moment?

0:02:38 > 0:02:40I gave her the morning off.

0:02:40 > 0:02:43She had a very important thingummybob she had to do.

0:02:43 > 0:02:45Unbelievable.

0:02:50 > 0:02:52My operation was planned to perfection.

0:02:52 > 0:02:55A tip-off seems the only explanation for our failure.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58I can't see a thing through all this smoke.

0:02:58 > 0:03:00I think the air-con's broken.

0:03:00 > 0:03:01Can't you sort it, Frank?

0:03:01 > 0:03:04I'm here in my capacity as a senior MI9 agent,

0:03:04 > 0:03:06not as a caretaker.

0:03:06 > 0:03:08Yeah, but I bet you'd have it fixed in no time.

0:03:08 > 0:03:12Well, I did once install a whole air conditioning system

0:03:12 > 0:03:15for a shanty town in Latin America.

0:03:15 > 0:03:17Anyway, all we know is his weakness for pastries

0:03:17 > 0:03:20was the last lead we had on the Grandmaster.

0:03:20 > 0:03:22We need new ideas now.

0:03:22 > 0:03:24Out of the box thinking.

0:03:26 > 0:03:28Agent Lil?

0:03:31 > 0:03:35Erm... We could...

0:03:35 > 0:03:39We could introduce ID cards and then maybe he would fill one in.

0:03:39 > 0:03:41ID cards?

0:03:41 > 0:03:43Good.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45HE WHISPERS

0:03:47 > 0:03:50Offshore savings accounts, sir.

0:03:50 > 0:03:54We'd check to see if the Grandmaster has any in his name.

0:03:54 > 0:03:55Good.

0:03:55 > 0:03:57Good, I like it.

0:03:57 > 0:04:00Bank accounts? Get more obvious.

0:04:00 > 0:04:02If this lot had one good idea between them,

0:04:02 > 0:04:05we'd actually stand a chance of catching the Grandmaster.

0:04:05 > 0:04:08And getting my mum out of that SKUL prison.

0:04:08 > 0:04:09Anyone else?

0:04:12 > 0:04:13Agent Khan?

0:04:13 > 0:04:16I have an idea, sir.

0:04:16 > 0:04:20Ah, yes, we must give youth its chance...I suppose.

0:04:20 > 0:04:24- I've been looking at the data and I think we've missed a trick.- Go on.

0:04:24 > 0:04:27It's the rabbit.

0:04:27 > 0:04:30We all know the Grandmaster has a rabbit. General Flopsy.

0:04:30 > 0:04:33And it goes everywhere he goes.

0:04:33 > 0:04:36So we could sort of...

0:04:36 > 0:04:38kind of, erm...

0:04:38 > 0:04:41get to the Grandmaster by catching General Flopsy.

0:04:41 > 0:04:45SHE GIGGLES

0:04:53 > 0:04:55I still say it was a good idea.

0:04:55 > 0:04:58People value their pets, even someone like the Grandmaster.

0:04:58 > 0:05:02I didn't become a spy to spend my time tailing bunnies.

0:05:02 > 0:05:04Rabbits, goldfish, what does it matter

0:05:04 > 0:05:06if it leads us to the Grandmaster?

0:05:06 > 0:05:10I agree. Maybe something unexpected is just what's needed.

0:05:10 > 0:05:14Ah, the elusive Rose. Follow me, I have a task for you.

0:05:14 > 0:05:16- But Miss...- It won't take more than a few hours.

0:05:21 > 0:05:23Let's go to HQ and research the rabbit idea?

0:05:23 > 0:05:26I've just got my latest car magazine. Maybe later.

0:05:26 > 0:05:29Thanks for the support(!)

0:05:31 > 0:05:34Erm, I don't think this should be here, Miss.

0:05:34 > 0:05:36I don't think any of us should.

0:05:36 > 0:05:37What is it?

0:05:37 > 0:05:40It's a letter from the Department of Education.

0:05:40 > 0:05:44They're looking for a new teaching czar to run schools in the UK.

0:05:44 > 0:05:48- Applicants must be experienced head teachers.- What?

0:05:51 > 0:05:53Are you going to go in for it, Miss?

0:05:53 > 0:05:55Erm, dunno. Possibly.

0:05:58 > 0:05:59You can go now.

0:05:59 > 0:06:01But I'm only up to B.

0:06:01 > 0:06:03Oh, you've been a great help.

0:06:16 > 0:06:19Name of applicant.

0:06:24 > 0:06:27Of course, not everyone in MI9 knows

0:06:27 > 0:06:31that it was my unit's specially trained squirrels and rabbits

0:06:31 > 0:06:32that won the Cold War.

0:06:32 > 0:06:35- It was?- Yeah, absolutely.

0:06:35 > 0:06:40Squirrels stole microchips and hid them in trees.

0:06:40 > 0:06:41And the rabbits?

0:06:41 > 0:06:45Specially trained to nibble through spy cables.

0:06:45 > 0:06:51You know, the rabbit is actually a particularly hardy agent.

0:06:51 > 0:06:55Especially since we eradicated diseases like Blue Ear.

0:06:55 > 0:06:57Blue Ear?

0:06:57 > 0:06:58BELL RINGS

0:07:00 > 0:07:03You do know cars are choking the earth?

0:07:03 > 0:07:06Have you got no interest in your carbon footprint?

0:07:06 > 0:07:07What footprint?

0:07:07 > 0:07:10The effect you're having on the world. Cars are destroying it.

0:07:10 > 0:07:13I haven't got a car, I've got a car magazine.

0:07:13 > 0:07:15That's just as bad.

0:07:15 > 0:07:18How long have you been reading this dumb mag?

0:07:19 > 0:07:20Let's say five years.

0:07:20 > 0:07:22Times 52.

0:07:24 > 0:07:26- That's, like, 260 trees.- What?

0:07:26 > 0:07:29You don't care about saving the planet at all, do you?

0:07:29 > 0:07:31You haven't got a clue what I do.

0:07:31 > 0:07:33Come on then, what do you do that's so great?

0:07:35 > 0:07:36Nothing.

0:08:00 > 0:08:02"Hello Oscar."

0:08:08 > 0:08:09"Must meet..."

0:08:11 > 0:08:12"Mum."

0:08:14 > 0:08:21"Hello Oscar. Must meet. Deighton Lake. Thursday. 1pm."

0:08:22 > 0:08:24That's today!

0:08:24 > 0:08:26Oscar.

0:08:26 > 0:08:28'We need you in HQ.'

0:08:28 > 0:08:30Can it wait?

0:08:30 > 0:08:33'No. Carrie's got a plan to capture the Grandmaster.'

0:08:47 > 0:08:49Come on, Oscar, Carrie's just started.

0:08:49 > 0:08:53The first phase of Operation Flopsy has already begun.

0:08:54 > 0:08:56'With me now is Maurice Hutchinson of PRAT,

0:08:56 > 0:09:00'and that's the Pets Registration And Treatment team.

0:09:00 > 0:09:01'What is this new illness

0:09:01 > 0:09:03rabbit owners should be so worried about?

0:09:03 > 0:09:08- Firstly, it's only white rabbits that are affected.- OK.

0:09:08 > 0:09:13The illness is called Blue Ear disease.

0:09:13 > 0:09:16OK, and what symptoms should owners be looking out for?

0:09:16 > 0:09:20In the initial stages, a twitching of the nose.

0:09:20 > 0:09:23OK, so if you have a white rabbit and its nose is twitching,

0:09:23 > 0:09:24what should you do?

0:09:24 > 0:09:28Well, you must bring it in to an official PRAT vet

0:09:28 > 0:09:34where we can run tests for Blue Ear and, if necessary, inoculate.

0:09:34 > 0:09:36OK, so just to reiterate that message,

0:09:36 > 0:09:39'if it twitches, bring it in.'

0:09:39 > 0:09:41Nice work, Carrie. All rabbits have twitchy noses,

0:09:41 > 0:09:43so identifying that as the main symptom

0:09:43 > 0:09:46means we see every white rabbit in the country.

0:09:46 > 0:09:50- Including, hopefully, General Flopsy. - Each PRAT vet takes a DNA sample

0:09:50 > 0:09:52which we'll check against our DNA files.

0:09:52 > 0:09:56I got Flopsy's when we had him during the US President mission.

0:09:56 > 0:10:00- When we get a match, we'll know that rabbit must be Flopsy.- It won't work.

0:10:00 > 0:10:01It's worth a try.

0:10:01 > 0:10:04You waste your time, I've got things to do.

0:10:09 > 0:10:12'OK, so just to reiterate that message,

0:10:12 > 0:10:14'if it twitches, bring it in.'

0:10:18 > 0:10:21You have been off colour for a while, Flopsy.

0:10:21 > 0:10:23And not eating your greens.

0:10:23 > 0:10:27Could it be this Blue Ear epidemic?

0:10:29 > 0:10:31I knew we should never have used public transport

0:10:31 > 0:10:33on the way back from your birthday party.

0:11:11 > 0:11:15'Listen carefully, this is a message from SKUL.

0:11:15 > 0:11:17'We still have your mother, but she is ill.

0:11:17 > 0:11:21'An old biological war wound from her time in East Zanzibar.

0:11:21 > 0:11:23'She needs vital medication,

0:11:23 > 0:11:26'which you will find in her locker in MI9 HQ.

0:11:26 > 0:11:30'Once you have the medication, a drop-off point will be arranged.

0:11:30 > 0:11:31'Tell no-one about this.

0:11:31 > 0:11:34'This message will self destruct.'

0:11:51 > 0:11:53Hey!

0:11:57 > 0:11:59PHONE RINGS

0:11:59 > 0:12:02'Jane Le Carre, Department of Education.

0:12:02 > 0:12:06You were a referee to Mr Flatley to become the new education czar.

0:12:06 > 0:12:10Yes. A most able candidate.

0:12:10 > 0:12:13I can't speak highly enough of him.

0:12:13 > 0:12:16'Well then, the final stage will be an undercover visit

0:12:16 > 0:12:17'by one of my team.

0:12:17 > 0:12:20- 'Just to see him in action. I'm sure it's a formality.'- Bye.

0:12:20 > 0:12:24Mr London, do let me know if you see any new faces on the premises

0:12:24 > 0:12:26over the next few days.

0:12:28 > 0:12:302,009 rabbits screened.

0:12:30 > 0:12:32Not a single match.

0:12:32 > 0:12:35Maybe the Grandmaster didn't see our news bulletins.

0:12:35 > 0:12:38Or maybe he hasn't got a rabbit anymore.

0:12:38 > 0:12:41Oscar did say my plan wasn't gonna work.

0:12:41 > 0:12:45Yeah, Oscar should be here helping us go through all this data.

0:12:45 > 0:12:47The next DNA helix we see could be Flopsy's.

0:12:47 > 0:12:51Erm...where is your other agent?

0:13:04 > 0:13:06"Rare tropical diseases."

0:13:15 > 0:13:18Oscar, how do you always manage to get in such a mess?

0:13:24 > 0:13:27The creche is on the second floor.

0:13:27 > 0:13:31Oh, I forgot, you're an agent, aren't you?

0:13:31 > 0:13:33Just clearing out this locker.

0:13:33 > 0:13:35Agent reassigned.

0:13:35 > 0:13:37Wonderful.

0:13:37 > 0:13:40They've given you a dangerous mission to suit your abilities.

0:13:55 > 0:13:57- Can we talk?- Sure.

0:13:58 > 0:14:01In private?

0:14:05 > 0:14:07SKUL have been in touch.

0:14:07 > 0:14:10They sent me a message about my mum.

0:14:16 > 0:14:19She's still locked up, and...

0:14:19 > 0:14:21she's ill.

0:14:22 > 0:14:24TYPING

0:14:25 > 0:14:28Do you think Oscar's got his own plan?

0:14:28 > 0:14:31I don't care. He should be working with us on Operation Flopsy.

0:14:34 > 0:14:37Thanks for being so honest with me.

0:14:37 > 0:14:39Let's take a closer look at this medication.

0:14:39 > 0:14:42SKUL may have tampered with it in some way.

0:14:52 > 0:14:53Hmm.

0:14:53 > 0:14:56Looks like a simple anti-inflammatory

0:14:56 > 0:14:58with a methylparaben coating.

0:15:03 > 0:15:06No bugging devices in the molecules.

0:15:24 > 0:15:25You realise what this is.

0:15:25 > 0:15:28MI9 agents. Places in Africa.

0:15:28 > 0:15:31Both. It's a list of all our African agents,

0:15:31 > 0:15:34and their bases.

0:15:34 > 0:15:37If my mum told SKUL the cream contained a list of agents,

0:15:37 > 0:15:40she must be in a really bad way. We need to help her!

0:15:41 > 0:15:44Your mum will know how to deal with this.

0:15:44 > 0:15:47Maybe we can use this situation to our advantage.

0:15:47 > 0:15:49Yeah.

0:15:49 > 0:15:53What about if we gave them a different tube of cream? A fake?

0:15:53 > 0:15:57Then follow whoever picks it up, straight to your mum!

0:16:01 > 0:16:03Carrie?

0:16:03 > 0:16:06Yes. Yes, good news, actually.

0:16:06 > 0:16:10It looks like Operation Flopsy has finally borne fruit.

0:16:12 > 0:16:15A rabbit with matching DNA's just turned up.

0:16:15 > 0:16:18Frank? We've got to get to the PRAT hospital straight away.

0:16:18 > 0:16:22Maurice will be stalling the owner until we get there.

0:16:22 > 0:16:24- Good luck!- Won't Oscar be coming?

0:16:24 > 0:16:27He'll be sitting this one out.

0:16:32 > 0:16:35- Looking for someone?- What? No!

0:16:44 > 0:16:47- Thank you.- Shepherd.

0:16:47 > 0:16:49Don't tell me.

0:16:49 > 0:16:52Shepherd's a dog, dogs like bones,

0:16:52 > 0:16:56the shin's a bone, shin rhymes with...win...

0:16:56 > 0:16:58Winnie from Class 3PF.

0:16:58 > 0:17:00No.

0:17:00 > 0:17:03It's Alison Shepherd from Form 3TS.

0:17:03 > 0:17:07Purple files just use surnames, obviously. Heh.

0:17:12 > 0:17:15Frank? I'm at the drop location SKUL gave me.

0:17:15 > 0:17:18'OK, Oscar. Now be careful, and keep your eyes open.'

0:17:20 > 0:17:22'Oscar? Oscar!'

0:17:22 > 0:17:24I'll call you once I've checked it out.

0:17:28 > 0:17:31If we know it's Blue Ear,

0:17:31 > 0:17:34then what are we waiting for?

0:17:34 > 0:17:38Well, er...we need to run more tests.

0:17:38 > 0:17:41- Tests?- Yes. Er...

0:17:41 > 0:17:47blood group, allergies, and I'll need the name of his next of kin.

0:17:48 > 0:17:52Why so nervous, Doctor?

0:17:52 > 0:17:54No reason!

0:17:54 > 0:17:57Flopsy...we've been...

0:17:57 > 0:17:59tricked!

0:18:01 > 0:18:04- Hey! Come back!- Hold on.

0:18:04 > 0:18:06To protect our identities. Come on.

0:18:28 > 0:18:31I think we've shaken them off, General.

0:18:36 > 0:18:41Frank? I've got eyeball on a number of suspects. Out.

0:18:52 > 0:18:54Feeding the birds, old lady?

0:18:54 > 0:18:56Then where are the birds?

0:18:59 > 0:19:02Frank! The bin's disappeared!

0:19:02 > 0:19:05- 'Bin? What bin?' - There was this bin, and it's...

0:19:07 > 0:19:09I'll call you.

0:19:28 > 0:19:34Wait! I've just seen the results of the tests I did on General Flopsy.

0:19:34 > 0:19:37- I thought you ran them just to stall the Grandmaster?- I'm a scientist!

0:19:37 > 0:19:40- I don't run fake tests! - So what do they show?

0:19:40 > 0:19:42They're rather worrying.

0:19:42 > 0:19:44Flopsy is not a well rabbit.

0:19:44 > 0:19:47We must operate! Immediately!

0:19:47 > 0:19:51I knew it! He's been off his greens all week.

0:19:51 > 0:19:54- You have to let me stay for the operation!- Out of the question.

0:19:54 > 0:19:57But...he needs me.

0:19:57 > 0:20:01You've already won. You owe me this much, at least.

0:20:04 > 0:20:06OK. But one wrong move and you're out of here.

0:20:06 > 0:20:09I've prepared the operating theatre.

0:20:32 > 0:20:34Almost there.

0:20:39 > 0:20:42Swab.

0:20:51 > 0:20:53BEEP

0:20:55 > 0:20:58Is that it? How is he?

0:21:00 > 0:21:02Fine.

0:21:02 > 0:21:05He always was a fighter.

0:21:05 > 0:21:10We won't be able to move him for a while, though.

0:21:10 > 0:21:13Goodbye, General Flopsy.

0:21:13 > 0:21:16I'll see you in a few days.

0:21:16 > 0:21:19I'm sorry. I don't think they allow rabbits in prison.

0:21:19 > 0:21:24Prison? Whatever makes you think I'm going to prison?

0:21:35 > 0:21:38- It's locked!- I'll call Oscar.

0:21:38 > 0:21:41I think he's already here.

0:21:45 > 0:21:49Heard you got the Grandmaster. Nice work. Where is he?

0:22:24 > 0:22:27You've got nice moves... for a granny.

0:22:27 > 0:22:29BUZZING

0:22:30 > 0:22:33- 'Oscar!'- Rose? - 'The Grandmaster has escaped.

0:22:33 > 0:22:35'You need to get back to HQ now.'

0:22:53 > 0:22:56Don't take what Chief Agent Shaw said to heart.

0:22:56 > 0:22:59He's just jealous because you came close to catching the Grandmaster.

0:23:01 > 0:23:04- Oscar.- I blew my one link to my mum.

0:23:04 > 0:23:08And I probably made it worse by trying to trick SKUL.

0:23:08 > 0:23:12There is still someone who can get us out of this mess.

0:23:15 > 0:23:19- General Flopsy.- Not again. - Carrie's right.

0:23:19 > 0:23:22We all saw how much the Grandmaster loves Flopsy.

0:23:22 > 0:23:25Maybe he'll exchange your mum for his pet.

0:23:25 > 0:23:28My mum for a rabbit?

0:23:30 > 0:23:31Sweet.

0:23:31 > 0:23:34- Thanks for your help, Maurice. - Oh, no, not at all!

0:23:34 > 0:23:38I'm glad Flopsy has recovered so well.

0:23:38 > 0:23:40Good luck with the rescue mission.

0:23:43 > 0:23:45I know why you're here.

0:23:45 > 0:23:49- You do? - Mr Flatley is a wonderful man!

0:23:49 > 0:23:53- And I just want to make sure your bosses know that.- Mr Flatley?

0:23:53 > 0:23:57Ahh, you're very good at playing the innocent, aren't you? This way.

0:23:57 > 0:24:00Mr Flatley has single-handedly managed...

0:24:09 > 0:24:12- You should have come to us sooner. - I wish I had.

0:24:12 > 0:24:15Look, I'm not saying this to try and get at you,

0:24:15 > 0:24:17I'm saying it so that you know we're on your side.

0:24:17 > 0:24:20This op won't be easy for you.

0:24:20 > 0:24:23If you want to back out, Carrie and I will cover.

0:24:23 > 0:24:25Thanks.

0:24:26 > 0:24:28We should get going.

0:24:47 > 0:24:49Mum!

0:24:50 > 0:24:52Here we go.

0:25:21 > 0:25:24It's my mum! She's working for SKUL!

0:25:25 > 0:25:28Rose! Get Flopsy!

0:25:32 > 0:25:34SWAT team go! Take them!

0:25:38 > 0:25:40CLANKING

0:25:44 > 0:25:47- They've gotten away AGAIN. - You've got to be kidding.

0:25:47 > 0:25:49< They've gone down a drain.

0:26:38 > 0:26:41- You know you done the right thing, don't you?- I guess.

0:26:42 > 0:26:45And you know you've always got us.

0:26:45 > 0:26:48Carrie's got a new plan to catch the Grandmaster.

0:26:48 > 0:26:51We're all going to dress up as rabbits

0:26:51 > 0:26:54and pretend to be General Flopsy's long-lost relatives.

0:26:54 > 0:26:56That's a stupid plan.

0:26:57 > 0:27:00They'll be expecting rabbits. We should go as lobsters.

0:27:00 > 0:27:02I'm in.

0:27:06 > 0:27:11You won't regret hiring him. He's a human dynamo.

0:27:11 > 0:27:13But with a caring, sensitive side.

0:27:14 > 0:27:18So, you would be filed in a pink file under G for grapefruit.

0:27:18 > 0:27:24Do you see? Brown, clown, red nose, red fruit, strawberry, grapefruit!

0:27:24 > 0:27:26You're a lunatic.

0:27:27 > 0:27:29Mr Flatley! Who was that?

0:27:29 > 0:27:31It's a funny thing.

0:27:31 > 0:27:35He claimed he was working for the Department of Education.

0:27:35 > 0:27:37Seemed very interested in me.

0:27:37 > 0:27:40I've been telling him all about my filing system.

0:27:44 > 0:27:46Fully recovered, General?

0:27:46 > 0:27:50I'm glad you enjoyed your GM-free radishes.

0:27:50 > 0:27:54Next is a lettuce risotto

0:27:54 > 0:27:59served on a bed of creamed baby carrots.
