The Lost Hero M.I. High

If you want it, come and get it!

The data stick.

Argh!

CAR ENGINE REVS

Get out of my way! I'm going to jump.

Oscar, you'll get fried alive!

Oscar, come on! You don't have to play the hero.

Frank! We've got a problem.

Agent Cole, MI9 has a code of conduct.

No agent is to put themselves in danger

unless someone else's life is at risk.

I know. But they're getting away with the data.

Just like his mother. He's always got to break the rules.

My decision is final, Agent Cole,

you are not to jump. Do you hear me?

You are not to jump that fence!

The 21st century faces a new kind of threat.

Old school spies have had their day,

and MI9 must create a new breed of skilled undercover agent.

Hidden in a place no villain will think to look.

Welcome to MI High.

Miss, it's the last day of term. Mufti day.

Miss. You could have worn what you wear at home.

This IS what I wear at home.

It's what she wears in the shower!

Come on.

Hey.

Um...

Oscar, we've got some news.

Yeah?

It's about your mum.

She's in jail.

I hope she rots.

Yes! My new special ops case.

-Top-of-the-range, powerful core power unit.

-I'm sorry!

"Moved to a more comfortable cell"?

Are you kidding me?

Oscar, look. I've spoken with your mother.

-She's promised to behave herself, do her time.

-Spoken to my mum?

-Yes.

-After what she's put me through?

Oscar, please. What's important right now is that stolen data disk.

Which we'd have if we did things my way.

That fence was electrified.

This is because my mum works for SKUL. You've never trusted me.

Agent Cole! Either control yourself,

or I suggest you remove yourself from duty!

You see, this is exactly why I'm recommending MI High be shut down.

-I'm sorry? What!

-Just because of what Oscar did?

Our track record has been impeccable.

All right, that's enough! We have a stolen disk to find.

I'd rather not waste any more time.

I don't care if it's the last day on Earth.

No one is going home early.

I've got a bad stomach!

Bad throat.

Bad hair.

Miss, miss, miss, wait. I've got a note from my mum.

"Timothy is well sick, innit.

"And not sick as in good.

"But sick as in yakking it up big time."

EDH?

The ring your dad gave you?

I wish my dad was a super spy.

You don't get many accountants missing in action!

LOCKER SLAMS

My dad's dead, Rose.

It's all SKUL's fault.

Which is why I need you two to promise me

you're not going to tell anyone I'm going to join SKUL.

What? Oscar!

If I'm going to bring it down,

I need to be working on the inside.

Are you nuts? Stark already wants to shut us down.

-Is that all you care about? What about Oscar getting hurt?

-I'll be OK.

I've got a plan. Just promise me you won't tell anyone.

Promise.

SKUL already know you're a spy. It's too dangerous.

Maybe.

What have I got left to lose?

Of course I know where they are.

No, I understand, ma'am.

Yes, we'll be there ASAP.

There you are. Where's Oscar?

Frank, we need to talk. There's something you should know.

-Yeah. Oscar's taken some time off.

-Time off?

(Carrie!)

Yeah, um... What's all the panic?

Stark's got a lead on a stolen disc.

He's located it to a warehouse on Station Street.

M19 wanted to catch them red-handed.

MACHINE BEEPS

Bingo.

MI9 security codes.

FOOTSTEPS

-Don't move, sonny, or I'll...

-It's OK, it's all right.

I'm a friend. I want to join SKUL.

I recognise you.

You're one of those kids that was chasing us.

That's because I used to work for MI9.

They're outside right now, you've got to get out of here.

So why MI9?

Girl guides wouldn't have you?

Get ready to move on my command!

I'm telling you, I want to join SKUL!

Stop!

RING CLATTERS ON GROUND

Let me have a look at him.

Aye. Scrawny.

Oh! Blimey!

You been raiding your dad's aftershave?

Pity you didn't do the same.

Go, go, go!

I'm Vincent.

We can escape through the sewers.

I'll imagine you'll feel at home.

Grab the coats.

Nobody move! This is M19!

Repeat, this is... This is...

This is embarrassing!

Do a search. Find me something!

INDISTINCT VOICES ON RADIO

Oscar's ring.

What was he doing here?

It means he's found SKUL.

Wait here.

Now just stand here and try not to look nervous.

-Or stupid.

-What?

-Tell you what, just stand there.

What's this?

You dare to bring a stranger in here without my permission?

Wait.

Vincent.

You cretin!

This boy works for MI9!

And the last time I was here, you offered me a job. Remember?

Yes.

An offer which you rejected,

just before you betrayed me!

Then you know how it feels.

My mum betrayed me.

And now, so have M19.

You're lying.

Take him to the dungeons.

Wait! I've been after you for years.

And you're always one step ahead.

I want to learn, from the master.

Come here, you!

BONES CRACK

Sir.

There is one way that you could prove his loyalty.

Of course!

Vincent here is planning to kidnap the head of MI9.

Help him.

Or the dungeons will be the least of your concerns.

Look, if Oscar gets hurt, it's not just him that's affected.

Yes, I know, Rose.

You'll lose your job. Must be so nice not having feelings!

I know exactly what Oscar's going through.

Before MI High, I was alone and thought everyone was against me,

so don't talk to me about feelings.

OK. Erm...

Maybe we should just tell Frank then.

Tell Frank what?

Rose?

-Why didn't you tell him?

-And get Frank into trouble as well?

If anyone is going to find Oscar, it's got to be us.

OK, so Oscar said he had a plan.

Maybe his foster family will know something.

I was thinking,

maybe you and me could do the kidnap.

Cos those three will be a bit heavy-handed.

Since when have you cared about hurting anyone?

OK, listen up. Ahem!

The plan is to kidnap the head of MI9 on her way to work.

We'll meet up at the hair salon. Then it's on past...

Why the hair salon?

So you can get your highlights done!

Gentlemen, please!

The plan won't work.

The head of M19 makes three under ground car changes every journey.

-We'll never keep up.

-What? And you never knew this?

But...

we know she goes jogging every Wednesday.

We can kidnap her then.

Excellent. I'm handing control of the kidnap over to you.

You can't just give it to...

And one more mistake from you,

and you will be sorry.

So very sorry.

When Oscar's mum defected to SKUL, he was put under witness protection.

Yeah, but, we thought he lived with a proper family. No offence.

M19 thought he'd be safer with another agent.

And has Oscar said anything weird?

Maybe about getting revenge on SKUL?

I've tried bonding with Oscar. He hardly leaves his room.

This is how Oscar likes it.

What's this keypad for?

His birthday doesn't work.

Try EDH, his dad's initials.

It's gone!

Wow, Oscar has been doing his own investigation.

He's got his dad's MI9 file.

Edward Dixon Halliday. Stationed in Africa.

It's where his dad went missing in action.

Oscar was finding out what happened to him.

No wonder Oscar thinks his dad's dead.

These leads don't go anywhere.

Hey, I remember that. We used it to find Agent X.

Shows any hidden watermarks.

Probably worth a shot.

An old postcard.

Yeah, but the question is, why is the address hidden on it?

It could be a secret drop off

where agents hide gadgets and money for emergencies.

-Carrie, you're a genius.

-It has been said.

I bet Oscar missed it too. Which means it's not a dead end.

His dad still might be alive.

I'm sorry.

About earlier. I didn't mean to get you in trouble.

You want to be teacher's pet,

a new General Flopsy!

The ears are big enough, eh?!

Only I heard that, before SKUL, you were living on the streets.

Stop the van. Stop the van!

Come on, I was only winding you up.

-See you, you need to stand up for yourself.

-Listen.

I've met real criminals, and they've all got the same look in their eyes.

You what?

I look at you, and... you're not a bad person.

HE SNORTS

Hey, what are you doing?

I'm giving you a chance. Get out of SKUL.

And never come back.

Boss!

He was chickening out. You got a problem with that?

Oscar.

It's not too late to make something of your life.

Oscar. Hold up. Oscar!

Oscar!

Ugh!

Get off me! Oscar, what on earth are you doing here?

Let's get out of here.

-Hello? Anybody home?

-This is worse than Oscar's room.

Rose, look.

-Check it out.

-Bingo. Everything an agent would need in an emergency.

DOOR OPENS

And if you think you're going to nick it, think again.

Us nick it? These gadgets belong to our friend's dad.

Look, we just want to look through them,

-see if we can maybe find out where he is.

-Please. His son is in trouble.

You come in here just for this friend of yours?

He'd do the same for us.

I didn't nick it, Edward asked me to get it for him.

Wait, you know Edward Dixon Halliday?

-You mean, he is still alive?

-If you want, I'll take you to him.

Agent Cole, you'd better have one almighty explanation for all of this.

Look. I've got a plan.

I'm going to bring down SKUL, but this time I'm doing it my way.

Isn't this cosy?

Do you really think I would allow you to betray me a second time?

-I have just helped you kidnap the head of MI9.

-Exactly.

Thanks to you, I now have two prisoners for the price of one.

EVIL LAUGHTER

Wait! You have to believe me, I want to work for SKUL, I swear.

EVIL LAUGHING CONTINUES

DOOR CLOSES

Vincent. When you say you know Edward, does he know you?

Do you want to see Eddie?

Yeah, but do you promise you didn't just break in?

Break in?

Honestly.

Now why would I want to break into my own apartment?

-Halliday, Edward Dixon Halliday.

-Oscar's dad.

Now, it's 1500 hours which means that son of mine

will just have been locked up with the head of MI9.

So, who is up for a daredevil rescue fraught with inconceivable danger?

Splendid.

Hello. I wonder if you can help? I'm looking for a vacant stare.

Oh, that's very good.

-This guy is un...believable.

-Rose?

Call MI9 and tell them where we are.

-You two. What you doing here?

-We had some help.

Do I know you?

IN VINCENT'S ACCENT:

Seriously, we're gonnae have to do something about that aftershave.

-Vincent?

-Actually, the name's Edward.

Oscar.

Say hello to your dad.

Hello, Oscar.

No. No, my dad's dead. You can't be him.

When you were four, I took a mission in Africa.

I was captured, put in prison. It took me nine years to escape.

-Why didn't you come and find Oscar?

-SKUL was trying to find him, too.

The only way Oscar would ever be safe was if I destroyed them first.

-So I went undercover. As Vincent.

-Wait, you're the mole.

For over a year, someone in SKUL has been leaking us information.

-I had no idea.

-What? Everyone knows about my dad.

-You could be lying about everything.

-There is one more thing.

The ring I gave you the day I left, remember?

-I found it at the warehouse.

-As you know, the ring is DNA sensitive.

If we don't share the same blood, would I really do this?

Dad.

A mole.

The whole of MI9 could be on their way here by now.

Well, here's one mole trap from which there is no...

..escape.

'Self destruct initiated.'

MACHINE BEEPS

Now, for the Grand Master.

'This building will self-destruct in five minutes. Initiating lockdown.'

-Lockdown?!

-Quick!

I can't open it!

DOOR SLAMS SHUT

-This looks bad!

-I'm fine, I'm fine.

The Grand Master has locked every door in the building.

Can you override it?

I can isolate the circuit but it'll need an external power source.

Spypod battery. Here.

-The doors have opened halfway.

-It's eating the power like crazy.

Carrie, give me your battery.

I'll use this to replace them when they run out,

-giving you time to escape.

-And how you going to get out?

I'm not. I got you into this.

Agent Cole, I have spoken to before about codes of conduct.

Oscar's right, one of us has to stay.

My leg's shattered, I won't make it out of here anyway.

-Dad, no, I told you, this is all my fault.

-Oscar, think!

There is no point in both of us... We haven't got a choice.

-'Self-destruct in four minutes.'

-I'm not leaving you here.

We have only just... It's not fair.

I saw what kind of son I have. Now make me even more proud.

Now, go, all of you. Quickly!

Oscar! Oscar, come on!

Run!

What's going on?

Agent Cole, what are you doing?! No!

No, my new spy case!

-Oscar! Oscar!

-Oscar, whatever you're thinking...

Internal power generator.

It's the most advanced power source in the world.

Like a mega battery. It should open every door in the building.

It doesn't matter, the building is about to blow.

Oscar, if you go in there, you will die.

If I don't, I will never be able to live with myself.

It's the blue wire.

Agent Cole!

'Self destruct in 49, 48, 47...'

-Oscar.

-Quick, we haven't got much time.

Ow, ah!

'12, 11...'

'6, 5...'

'3, 2, 1...'

SCREAMING

Oscar! Oscar!

Behold, Flopsy, the price of treachery.

-Oscar!

-Oscar!

-I thought we'd lost you.

-Not lost, just missing in action, hey, Dad?

Not only, not only did you go under cover without MI9's consent.

-(Who's he talking to, me or you?)

-But you two failed to report it.

As such, I'm recommending that MI High be shut down immediately.

-I agree. You three cannot be allowed to continue.

-Yes.

-At least, not as junior officers.

-What?

I'm returning to MI9, heading up an elite unit of full-time agents.

I want you three to join.

Permission to say, "In. Your. Face."

-I think you just did.

-There is a catch.

Taking a job that means leaving St Hope's.

So, the job. It would mean leaving St Hope's and MI High.

-See you later, bro, yeah, you hang it loose.

-Nice outfit.

-Thanks.

I mean, if it was in black.

Woo!

# La-la-la! #

Well, have you made your decision?

-There is no going back, you know that.

-Nothing lasts forever, right?

Well, all I know is that whoever replaces you will...

have a lot to live up to. And if I had my way...

We'll miss you, too.

Let's go save the world.
