0:00:19 > 0:00:21Howdy, partner.

0:00:29 > 0:00:32And I'll see you soon, old friend.

0:00:37 > 0:00:40The 21st century faces a new kind of threat.

0:00:40 > 0:00:44Old-school spies have had their day and MI9 must create

0:00:44 > 0:00:47a new breed of skilled undercover agent...

0:00:56 > 0:00:59..hidden in a place no villain will think to look.

0:01:00 > 0:01:02Welcome to MI High.

0:01:06 > 0:01:10- The lab should be down here. - Are you sure this time?

0:01:10 > 0:01:12No, but I'm open to suggestions,

0:01:12 > 0:01:16- cos that worked out well before. - OK, chill, Mr Grumpy.

0:01:19 > 0:01:23- Yes?- It is a bad year for pomegranates.

0:01:23 > 0:01:25Yet the kumquats have ripened early.

0:01:28 > 0:01:32And smell of my stinky socks.

0:01:32 > 0:01:34I was about to send out a search party.

0:01:34 > 0:01:38- We're here to collect a package. - I'll get it. Don't wander off.

0:01:38 > 0:01:40Don't want you getting lost again, ha-ha!

0:01:45 > 0:01:49That was so humiliating. What's the point of spy training

0:01:49 > 0:01:52if all they want us to do is run stupid errands?

0:01:52 > 0:01:55When are we going to get our hands on another proper villain?

0:02:11 > 0:02:14ALARM SOUNDS

0:02:15 > 0:02:19- Who's your amigo, Butch? - His name's Mad Dog.- Woof!

0:02:19 > 0:02:22He's not really a dog.

0:02:30 > 0:02:35What's the plan then, boss? Eh? Bank job? Jewellery heist?

0:02:35 > 0:02:39First thing's first, have you found him yet?

0:02:39 > 0:02:41The photo.

0:02:47 > 0:02:48HE WHIMPERS LIKE A DOG

0:02:50 > 0:02:51He'd fallen off the radar.

0:02:51 > 0:02:53Took us a while to find him.

0:03:11 > 0:03:14Ah, Mrs King, may I have a word?

0:03:14 > 0:03:18- Headmaster.- You know that report I've been working on?

0:03:18 > 0:03:21The Departmental Memorandum of Standards and Procedures?

0:03:21 > 0:03:25Yes, yes, that's the one. It's just that I haven't quite finished it

0:03:25 > 0:03:28and I'm going away for half term, so I was wondering

0:03:28 > 0:03:29if you wouldn't mind...

0:03:29 > 0:03:33- Of course, Headmaster. - That's awfully good of you.

0:03:40 > 0:03:43You haven't even started...!

0:03:44 > 0:03:46BELL RINGS

0:03:46 > 0:03:48So, Os, got anything planned for half term?

0:03:48 > 0:03:51- No.- We could hang out if you like?

0:03:51 > 0:03:57- Oh, well...- Mrs King. - Avril, what can I do for you?

0:03:57 > 0:03:59Would it be OK if I come in during half term?

0:03:59 > 0:04:02- HIS PEN BUZZES - I've got a project I want to finish.

0:04:02 > 0:04:05Of course, we must encourage this kind of initiative.

0:04:05 > 0:04:08Thanks, I'll nip home and get some stuff.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11Too bad more of you don't show Avril's commitment.

0:04:37 > 0:04:39- What's up?- Nothing.

0:04:39 > 0:04:42I just wanted the package you picked up for me.

0:04:43 > 0:04:47It was taken off a SKUL agent. Interesting contraption.

0:04:47 > 0:04:49HQ want me to cast my beady eye over it.

0:04:49 > 0:04:51Not much to look at.

0:04:51 > 0:04:54Maybe not, but in the wrong hands it could wreak havoc.

0:04:54 > 0:04:57- How so?- It's a polarity invertor.

0:04:57 > 0:04:59In English, please?

0:04:59 > 0:05:02Whatever type of energy you put in, it turns it into the opposite.

0:05:02 > 0:05:05For example, a negative charge would become positively charged.

0:05:05 > 0:05:09- And that's scary because...?- Well, plug this into the electricity grid

0:05:09 > 0:05:12and the feedback would blow the country's entire power supply.

0:05:12 > 0:05:14You don't want to mess with this.

0:05:14 > 0:05:17If you get the polarity the wrong way round,

0:05:17 > 0:05:21the resulting explosion would blow a hole the size of Wembley Stadium.

0:05:21 > 0:05:25- So the spy lesson of the day is...? - Don't plug it in?

0:05:25 > 0:05:28Very good, but no. It's 'looks can be deceiving.'

0:05:29 > 0:05:33We need to have a serious chat about this image of yours, Frank.

0:05:34 > 0:05:36- Is that an award you're holding? - Very observant.

0:05:36 > 0:05:42The university gave it to me for my invention, the Dark Star. See?

0:05:42 > 0:05:43It looks like a sheriff's star.

0:05:43 > 0:05:46It emits darkness from a six-point matrix, hence the name.

0:05:46 > 0:05:49I built it to cancel out light around observatories.

0:05:49 > 0:05:53- Maybe yours truly's finest hour. - I see why you and Rose get on.

0:05:53 > 0:05:57Ah, that reminds me, Rose sent this.

0:05:59 > 0:06:02Hi guys, I'm in the south of France. Are you missing me?

0:06:02 > 0:06:05This conference is amazing. You'd love it.

0:06:05 > 0:06:09Yesterday, there was a fantastic lecture on molecular cybernetics.

0:06:09 > 0:06:11Gotta go, don't want to miss a lecture on

0:06:11 > 0:06:13Artificial Intelligence: The Next Step,

0:06:13 > 0:06:15especially as it's me presenting it.

0:06:15 > 0:06:17See you guys next week!

0:06:18 > 0:06:20She's in the south of France?!

0:06:20 > 0:06:23I want to hear about the weather, the beach...

0:06:23 > 0:06:27- How come we don't get extra training? - Somewhere warm would be nice.

0:06:27 > 0:06:29PHONE RINGS

0:06:30 > 0:06:36HQ. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

0:06:38 > 0:06:40When did this happen?

0:06:41 > 0:06:45I understand. Well, thanks for letting me know.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49- When did what happen? - Do we have a mission?

0:06:49 > 0:06:54N-No, it's j-just HQ chasing up some paperwork.

0:06:54 > 0:06:55Come on.

0:06:58 > 0:07:00Where are we going?

0:07:00 > 0:07:03I'm shutting down for the week and you're off duty.

0:07:05 > 0:07:10- One last order.- Yes? - Have a good half term.

0:07:33 > 0:07:36'...to stand on the shoulders of giants

0:07:36 > 0:07:39at the dawn of a bright, new tomorrow.

0:07:39 > 0:07:42The pace of scientific progress is dizzying.

0:07:42 > 0:07:47It sometimes seems that truths that our grandparents thought immutable

0:07:47 > 0:07:52are replaced by new truths on an almost daily basis.

0:07:52 > 0:07:54If a power station ran on hot air,

0:07:54 > 0:07:56he'd make the country self-sufficient.

0:07:56 > 0:07:59Don't worry, your hands'll be on the prize soon enough.

0:07:59 > 0:08:00- You think so?- Of course.

0:08:00 > 0:08:03You did a brilliant job on the atomic flux corrector.

0:08:03 > 0:08:04I did, didn't I?

0:08:04 > 0:08:07..indomitable spirit of innovation that we are celebrating today,

0:08:07 > 0:08:15so it is with great pleasure that I hereby award this year's prize

0:08:15 > 0:08:17- for Achievement in Science... - This is it.

0:08:17 > 0:08:21..to Frank London, for his Dark Star.

0:08:46 > 0:08:52'..to Frank London, for his Dark Star, Dark Star, Dark Star...'

0:09:05 > 0:09:08- You look great, boss.- Woof, woof!

0:09:08 > 0:09:13Just one thing missing - the star.

0:09:18 > 0:09:20Oh, Mr Flatley!

0:09:20 > 0:09:24- Ola, senor el Franko. - Are you, er, feeling OK?

0:09:24 > 0:09:26Oh, yes, fine, thank you. Off to Benidorm.

0:09:26 > 0:09:32Just getting into the swing, ole, ha-ha! What about you, Frank?

0:09:32 > 0:09:35- You going anywhere nice? - No, I think I'll stay here.

0:09:35 > 0:09:38With the kids off, there's a chance to catch up on stuff.

0:09:38 > 0:09:43- Good man. I tell you what, I'll bring you something back.- Thank you, sir.

0:10:16 > 0:10:20Good thing I stopped. Wouldn't want to mess up that nice outfit.

0:10:20 > 0:10:23So you didn't buy Frank's story about paperwork either?

0:10:23 > 0:10:24What are you looking for?

0:10:24 > 0:10:28I figured there'd be a record of the phone call on MI9's computer system.

0:10:28 > 0:10:32I've tried to access it but the firewall's too good for me.

0:10:32 > 0:10:33Let me have a go.

0:10:39 > 0:10:42- Maybe we should call Rose? - No, we can do this.

0:10:50 > 0:10:51Five minutes.

0:10:54 > 0:10:56Five minutes.

0:11:05 > 0:11:07'I can't respond to my communicator right now.

0:11:07 > 0:11:10I'm either away from my desk or saving the world.'

0:11:10 > 0:11:15Hi Rose. Sorry, I know you're busy, it's just that Frank's acting odd.

0:11:15 > 0:11:17I mean, odder than normal Frank odd.

0:11:17 > 0:11:20Oscar and me, we think something's going on.

0:11:20 > 0:11:24We tried to hack the MI9 mainframe, but we don't know how.

0:11:24 > 0:11:27And, em, I hope your speech goes well.

0:11:31 > 0:11:34Why are you acting so weird?

0:11:36 > 0:11:39Is it me, or is there something a bit funny about this?

0:11:39 > 0:11:43You mean apart from Frank's taste in blazers?

0:11:44 > 0:11:46The framing.

0:11:53 > 0:11:54Who's he?

0:11:54 > 0:11:57There's only one way to find out - banana bugs.

0:12:05 > 0:12:07- What are you doing here? - Who's Mr Jealous?

0:12:07 > 0:12:10I've never seen him before.

0:12:14 > 0:12:16This has nothing to do with you.

0:12:16 > 0:12:18- You need to get out of here. - We're meant to be a team.

0:12:18 > 0:12:21- But this is personal.- Bet you wouldn't send Rose home.- What?

0:12:22 > 0:12:25Look, I haven't got time for this. Go home.

0:12:25 > 0:12:27I'm ordering you - stop bugging me!

0:12:44 > 0:12:47SPURS CLINK

0:13:49 > 0:13:53Hello again, old buddy. Long time no see.

0:13:53 > 0:13:56What's happened to your voice? You never used to speak like that.

0:14:12 > 0:14:14Where have you been?! I was worried!

0:14:14 > 0:14:17- Don't you worry about me. - What are you doing with the Star?

0:14:21 > 0:14:26You're always top of the class. You always get the girl

0:14:26 > 0:14:29and you always win first prize.

0:14:30 > 0:14:33Well, I'm sick of being number two to you, old friend.

0:14:35 > 0:14:37The Dark Star may have won you an award

0:14:37 > 0:14:39but it's going to make me filthy rich.

0:14:39 > 0:14:42- I don't understand! - I'm going to rob a bank.

0:14:42 > 0:14:44In the middle of the day, there'll be a blackout

0:14:44 > 0:14:48and when the lights come back on, I'll be long gone with the money.

0:14:48 > 0:14:49No.

0:15:18 > 0:15:20'If it weren't for them night vision goggles,

0:15:20 > 0:15:23it'd be me riding off into sunset, 'stead of you.

0:15:23 > 0:15:27After you sent me to jail, I had a lot of time to chew on things.

0:15:27 > 0:15:32What was I thinking?! A bank? Small-time.

0:15:32 > 0:15:37So here's my new plan, Stan. I'm gonna take me here that Star,

0:15:37 > 0:15:42amplify its power a thousand fold and plunge the whole country into dark.

0:15:42 > 0:15:47When we were at university, I was always in the shadow of Frank London.

0:15:47 > 0:15:50Now everyone's going to know what it feels like

0:15:50 > 0:15:52to be in Colt Winchester's shadow, forever.

0:15:54 > 0:15:57Least till I get the government to pay up

0:15:57 > 0:15:59the massive ransom I'm gonna demand.

0:15:59 > 0:16:02Funny how things work out.

0:16:02 > 0:16:06I'd have bet the ranch on you doing something special with your life.

0:16:06 > 0:16:08Working with kids has its rewards.

0:16:08 > 0:16:11The only reward I'm interested in is the green stuff.

0:16:11 > 0:16:12Bogies?

0:16:14 > 0:16:17Oh, this is so annoying. What do we do?

0:16:17 > 0:16:20Frank ordered us not to get involved.

0:16:20 > 0:16:23So, old buddy, I hope you like my new look.

0:16:23 > 0:16:27'cos there's one last detail I need to finish it.

0:16:27 > 0:16:30Hmm, you mean this?

0:16:32 > 0:16:33Get him!

0:17:21 > 0:17:25# Come out, come out, wherever you are. #

0:17:30 > 0:17:31Aargh!

0:19:22 > 0:19:24GURGLING SCREAM

0:19:31 > 0:19:34HE GROWLS

0:19:39 > 0:19:42- Carrie, Oscar!- Hey, Frank.

0:19:42 > 0:19:45- I forgot my...- I told you to go home. That was an order.- Yes, but...

0:19:45 > 0:19:49This is personal. I don't want your help.

0:19:51 > 0:19:54PAINED SCREAMS

0:19:52 > 0:19:54Sounds like Frank just changed his mind.

0:19:58 > 0:20:00I'd forgotten how pretty it was.

0:20:02 > 0:20:05- Second spy lesson of the day... - Know when you need help?

0:20:05 > 0:20:09The great Frank London, needing rescuing by a couple of brat kids.

0:20:09 > 0:20:10Ha-ha ha-ha!

0:20:10 > 0:20:13That's a picture I'd like on my mantelpiece.

0:20:13 > 0:20:16You've got the room. Frank's is full of awards.

0:20:16 > 0:20:19Getting the Dark Star was business.

0:20:19 > 0:20:23But this, ha, this is just for fun.

0:20:29 > 0:20:31- Ha-ha, ha-ha!- Oh, no.

0:20:35 > 0:20:36SHE GASPS

0:20:40 > 0:20:44Slow down, boy, I'm gonna enjoy this.

0:20:46 > 0:20:49The caretaker's mine.

0:20:52 > 0:20:55SPURS CLINK

0:20:59 > 0:21:02I'm gonna go to HQ to get the polarity invertor.

0:21:02 > 0:21:04No, Os, it's dangerous.

0:21:04 > 0:21:06Don't worry, Frank, I'll keep them busy.

0:21:06 > 0:21:10Carrie! Oscar! Oscar!

0:21:26 > 0:21:28COMPUTER BEEPS

0:21:55 > 0:21:57Weird...

0:22:13 > 0:22:15Big mistake, bucko!

0:22:21 > 0:22:26I might be in the dark, but I can do that with my eyes closed.

0:22:33 > 0:22:35- Ah! Who's there?!- It's me, Rose.

0:22:35 > 0:22:38Rose? I thought you were in the south of France?

0:22:40 > 0:22:44Oh! What's the meaning of this?! Who's there?!

0:22:44 > 0:22:47Ain't it obvious, lady? I'm the bad guy!

0:23:21 > 0:23:23Aah!

0:23:24 > 0:23:26Nice one, Avril.

0:23:32 > 0:23:36I wanted to remember this moment in living colour, old buddy.

0:23:36 > 0:23:40Mr London, is this dreadful man a friend of yours?

0:23:40 > 0:23:43Me and Frank go way back to university.

0:23:43 > 0:23:45Oh! You must have the wrong man.

0:23:45 > 0:23:48Mr London was never at university, were you?

0:23:49 > 0:23:51Why so bashful, friend?

0:23:51 > 0:23:55I bet he ain't even told you 'bout his prize winning invention, neither?

0:23:55 > 0:23:58Prizes? University? Is this true?

0:23:58 > 0:24:00Mrs K, I don't know what he's on about.

0:24:00 > 0:24:02What's with the phoney accent?

0:24:02 > 0:24:05- That's rich, coming from you. - The question is, Mr London,

0:24:05 > 0:24:09just what kind of a caretaker are you? Why all the secrets?

0:24:09 > 0:24:12Well, I can explain...

0:24:14 > 0:24:15Actually, I can't.

0:24:15 > 0:24:17- He's MI9.- Rose!

0:24:17 > 0:24:19MI9?

0:24:21 > 0:24:23- Got your message. - How did you get here so fast?

0:24:23 > 0:24:26- Supersonic jet.- Supersonic jets?!

0:24:26 > 0:24:31Don't tell me, they're agents too? Whatever next?!

0:24:31 > 0:24:36What's next is the end of Frank London and his snot-nosed agents.

0:24:39 > 0:24:40Ooh, scary(!)

0:24:40 > 0:24:43Polarity invertor. Shut your eyes.

0:25:06 > 0:25:07I can't see!

0:25:09 > 0:25:12That's because the polarity invertor turned dark into light.

0:25:12 > 0:25:16'Cos you're wearing night-vision goggles, the effect was amplified.

0:25:16 > 0:25:18The blindness is only temporary.

0:25:18 > 0:25:21The next thing you'll see will be the inside of a cell.

0:25:21 > 0:25:24The SWAT team are coming to take you and your mates back.

0:25:24 > 0:25:28Maybe this time, but don't never count out on Colt Winchester.

0:25:28 > 0:25:33Colt Winchester? Hmm, don't you mean Colin from Winchester?

0:25:34 > 0:25:36All right, there's no need to be nasty.

0:25:36 > 0:25:40So you really are secret agents! In my school!

0:25:40 > 0:25:43Well, that's just...

0:25:44 > 0:25:49..wonderful! Is that why you're always skipping out of class?

0:25:49 > 0:25:53Super villains don't respect the national curriculum, miss.

0:25:53 > 0:25:56Of course. Now it all makes sense.

0:25:56 > 0:25:59Hey... I can help.

0:25:59 > 0:26:01- Uh-oh.- No, really.

0:26:01 > 0:26:06I'm quite the actress. I could do undercover work.

0:26:06 > 0:26:10The name's King, License to Teach!

0:26:10 > 0:26:13- That would be good.- It would?

0:26:13 > 0:26:16I can be your Miss Moneypenny.

0:26:16 > 0:26:19- You'll need some gadgets, of course.- Oh, gadgets!

0:26:19 > 0:26:22- I've got just the thing.- Eh, Rose?

0:26:22 > 0:26:24Try these.

0:26:25 > 0:26:27Now what?

0:26:30 > 0:26:33The new memory eraser. I picked it up at the conference.

0:26:33 > 0:26:36I wondered when HQ would send one.

0:26:40 > 0:26:44So, final spy lesson of the day is...?

0:26:44 > 0:26:47When we pull together, we can make a really good team.

0:26:47 > 0:26:48Bring it on!

0:26:48 > 0:26:51What are you doing for the rest of the holiday?

0:26:54 > 0:26:55Clearing up this mess.
