Prison Break M.I. High

Eat. Don't eat. I don't care. You will help us eventually.

The 21st century faces a new kind of threat.

And MI9 must create a new breed of skilled under cover agent.

Hidden in a place no villain will think to look.

Welcome to MI High.

He's being held in Uttland's highest security prison, the Helberg.

Your mission is simple. Get in, get him, get out.

Uttland's like next door to Sweden. We're friends.

Why don't we just ask them to hand him over?

Their government denies having him in custody.

We believe they want him to help them develop a new

and highly illegal truth gas.

You haven't even told us who he is.

The target is Alexis van Hades, the ex-Shadow Master of Skapula

A nice name for KORPS' assassination squad.

He knows KORPS inside out. His information would be invaluable.

-What do you think, Frank?

-Frank won't be involved in this mission.

-Frank?

-What?!

-What's going on?

You're just going to have to trust us. It's better this way.

This stinks.

Why would the Shadow Master all of a sudden want to help us?

Intel says KORPS ordered SKAPULA to eliminate their own boss.

They thought he was a traitor, but it doesn't say why.

Now KORPS are back, he'll think they'll want to finish what

they started.

So our mission is a straightforward prison break?

Straightforward? I'm afraid it's anything but.

The Helberg is the remotest, deepest, darkest prison in Europe.

You can read all about it in you mission briefing on your way.

I suggest you go and pack. Immediately.

We should have told them why I'm not involved.

Do you think they'd still want to break the Shadow Master out

if they knew he'd vowed to kill you?

Selected from hundreds of top schools,

a Students Wilderness Survival Weekend in Uttland?

Free of charge!

I hope you all brought your cameras!

Because we are standing in the only remaining natural habitat

of the Uttlandish Barking eagle!

It also happens to be a stone's throw away from the Helberg.

Sir, how does the bird sound again?

I'm glad you asked me that, Tom,

it makes a sort of a...

-BIRD-LIKE BARK

-..sound.

If I wanted to photograph nature, I would have stayed in my hotel

and took pictures of the rats.

# With nature and my soul is soaring

# Just me and the animals I'm adoring... #

HOWLING

Can we go home now?

Gather round, everyone!

Because today we're learning to find our way in nature, so I'm

going to show you how to navigate using a trusty map and compass.

This way everyone, and stay close. I don't want anyone getting lost.

Er, as I said, this way everyone.

Mission on.

The entry point is the air-con duct on the south wall.

I should have hacked in to the security system by the time

you get there. Good luck.

Everybody online. Looking good.

First security intersection four metres ahead along the air-con tube.

'Hold it. Laser Intruder Device. Five second rotation.'

This isn't a sets the alarm off kind of laser, this is a

cuts-through-bone-in-a-millisecond kind.

Here's what you do.

Er, yeah, that.

There's got to be another way in!

The sewers are full because of the recent rains, so unless you

can fly off the roof, this is the only way in and the only way out.

Great.

Can either of you smell burning?

It's OK. Just a flesh wound and the laser cauterised it.

Come on.

Wow. I'd have totally cried if that was me.

'Three more security intersections, then go slow.

'This area's controlled by hundreds of guards on strict patrols.

'They're using their heat signatures to track their movements

'within the prison. I can guide you through the corridors.'

But first, you'll need to climb out of the tube carefully.

'The door at the end. It's a DNA recognition lock.

'I've re-programmed it for Aneisha's DNA.'

Mine? How are you...OW!

OK. This is where it gets tricky.

'Run right, then left.

'Then right. Then right again, quickly.

'Stop.

'OK, go.

'Up the stairs. And we're on level two!'

It's not a game, Tom.

That all depends where you're sitting, doesn't it, Dan? Hold it.

-Uh-oh. Arme Gonnerssen approaching.

-Who?

She runs the Helberg. Ex-special forces. Ruthless and deadly.

Even more so since she had an arm

and a leg replaced with bionic implants.

-Looking forward to meeting her.

-Give me a minute, I've got an idea!

BUZZING

SHE SCREAMS

'Now go fast! End of the corridor. It's another DNA lock.'

Ow!

That, my troglodyte friends, was some high-tech,

hyperlinked high performance Tomonotics!

Where's the cell?

You're standing right outside it.

I can only open the door for 90 seconds, no more.

Good luck.

LOCK BINGS

Hi, we're here to...

Where'd he go?

They only sent three to kill me!

Tell KORPS to send an army next time!

We're not here to kill you, you SKAPULA psycho!

We're MI9. "Come and get me?" Remember?

-Prove it.

-How?

Hyperia.

-What's that? Some sort of code word?

-You KORPS dogs.

His sister! Hyperia van Hades, ex MI9 Agent.

I just found her in the system.

Your sister was an MI9 Agent?

That must be why KORPS thought you were a traitor.

Secrets and lies are the truths of our world.

'90 seconds, is nearly up. You need to get out of there, now!'

Come on. Move it!

OK, it's the same route out.

Back through the security door then...

Oh no! Tom out!

Tom, stop messing about. He's messing about. Is he messing about?

We'll never find the way out. There were about 150 turns.

163. This way.

Keep your eyes peeled everyone, the Barking Eagle is very, very shy.

HE BARKS

Here boy. Sit. Walkies.

It's not a dog, Roland, it just sounds like one.

HE GASPS

OK. I know the way from here. Crawl for miles. Laser tube.

Never ending ladder.

I really must protest!

We weren't photographing your secret prison!

Oh? And what were you taking photos of? Birds?

-Well, as it happens...

-You are spies. Don't deny it!

What are we going to do now?

Nothing. They'll just let them go after a while. Right, Shadow Maniac?

Yes. After years of torture and isolation,

they will believe your friends and let them go.

You're a glass half empty kind of guy, aren't you?

ALARM RINGS

The Shadow Master has escaped!

What? This is your doing, spy! You will never leave the Helberg!

Now they've discovered the escape, it's only a matter of time

before they find out how we got in and block the way out.

We'll never get back in to help them, we need to join them now.

MI9, compassion for your friends was always your weakness.

Still, I never expected to find it in you.

-Do you know me?

-No time for this. I must go.

Come.

Shouldn't we go after him?

What if he's not planning to help MI9?

We could be releasing a killer!

There's nothing we can do about it. We have to trust him.

None of us could deal with him on our own anyway.

We've got to help the others. It's now or never.

But we were looking for the barking eagle.

No more talking. This way!

I want constant updates on the escape!

There's been a terrible mistake. I'm sure we can sort this out.

I'm not made for prison.

Unbelievable, they take away our pencils and leave him

with an offensive weapon like that.

They let Melissa keep her clipboard.

It's going to be hell in here.

What is it? Toilet cleaner?

Mushroom porridge.

The Scandinavian Jack O'Lantern mushroom is bioluminescent.

It glows in the dark, Roland.

Yeah? Does it taste nice?

No, it tastes like toilet cleaner.

We were just discussing whether we should make Byron

chuck his guitar out the window, or make him eat it.

You should let him play it.

It's funny, we never considered that option.

People need something to focus on.

Being annoyed by Byron is as good as anything.

Some of us aren't taking being here so well.

You OK?

Being locked up. Bad memories.

We'll be out of here soon. I got a message to Frank.

Once he finds out we're in trouble MI9 won't be able to keep him away.

-What do you mean, "nothing?"

-MI9 can't admit there was a mission

and the Uttlandish are denying all knowledge of their capture.

-Right. I'm going out there.

-You being there will make it worse.

There was a reason we kept you away from this, remember!

It wasn't my fault! His sister joined MI9 of her own free will.

And she knew the risks

when she volunteered for my team for the assault on KORPS HQ

He doesn't see it that way. He blames you for her death!

I can't save my old team, but I can save my current one.

I'm going.

Frank, you are not to leave the country. Do you understand?

I understand.

Frank!

Good luck.

So, all in all, I think everyone's taking it rather well.

# Four days in hell

# It's so hard to tell

# Is it me or you that I can smell? #

Being locked up is making people crazy

and this heatwave's not helping.

BARKING NOISE

It wasn't me.

BARKING CONTINUES

A Barking Eagle! Look, it's magnificent.

# She's having a hard time, her name's Aneisha

# So I'm singing this song, in order to please her... #

Get off!

-You two, stop it at once.

-Get off!

Is it me or is that bird barking Morse code?

M...I...9!

Remember, children. Name, rank and number!

Kenneth Armstrong Flatley, Head Master...

I don't have a number.

You still won't tell us who you're working for?

-Our experimental truth gas will loosen your tongue.

-What?

We'll take this one first.

Oh, no, please!

Truth gas.

That must be what they wanted the Shadow Master to help them with.

They finished it anyway. MI9 better hurry up and get us out of here.

-MI9 aren't coming.

-What?

Message in the Radio-Controlled Barking Eagle.

Frank says MI9 won't help. He's here, but can't get to us.

We're on our own.

Name and real occupation?

-HIGH PITCHED VOICE:

-Kenneth Flatley, educational guru.

Impressive, still resisting. What do you know of the Shadow Master?

Nothing, but I know a shadow puppet is a silhouette you make

with your hand. Look, I can do a dog.

You are either the best trained spy I've ever met or a total idiot.

I can do a rabbit with this hand.

It was hard enough getting in with MI9's best tech,

now we've got to get out with nothing and triple the security.

We need to take the others too.

She doesn't say anything for four days then she comes out with that.

She's lost it.

Zoe's right. If we escape without them, they'll get the blame.

It doesn't matter. We can't escape anyway! We've got nothing.

That's not true. We've got bed sheets, food trays...

OK. I get you like boy-scouting your way out of stuff.

But we cannot get through that door without at least some electronics.

Think you can do something with this?

I'm going to need some wire.

HIGH-PITCHED VOICE: Don't worry, students,

it's all quite straightforward.

What's up with his voice?

Helium. Interesting. I think I know how we can get out.

You.

If they use the truth gas on her, we've had it.

Yeah. OK. This is how we escape.

Here goes nothing.

HE MOANS RHYTHMICALLY

Mr Flatley?

I was just wondering when we were going to start escaping?

Wouldn't that be...erm...illegal?

-No, of course not, it's not like it's a real prison!

-It isn't?

No, obviously it's part of the survival holiday.

My cousin went on one, the same thing happened. We're meant to escape.

Are you sure?

I just heard the guards outside. Apparently they're actors!

-They were in a panto last year.

-Actors?

Yeah, they said we're the worst school at escaping they've

ever come across.

Right, start digging, everyone!

Erm, Mr Flatley, you might want to keep it quieter.

Yes, of course.

Actually, I had an idea on how we might escape. Probably stupid.

No, no. Tell me.

Here's what we needs, sheets, the gloop, the gloop trays,

Melissa's pen, some thread.

No way! I need it!

Do you? I've heard you sing. It's beautiful.

It seems a shame your voice has to share its sound with such

a primitive instrument.

Really?

Ta.

OK, people. Listen up. This is not a drill. Take your positions.

Tom?

-I can only open it for about 2.4 seconds.

-Do it.

It's made of titanium to stop people bending it.

Wow, that actually looked like it hurt. What an exceptional actor!

You don't mind if I go out the front, do you, sir?

-Better to keep more important people like you at the back.

-Quite. Quite.

Zoe, I'll see you at the rendezvous. OK, everyone. Follow me.

Go, go, go!

Are you a schoolchild?

Yes.

Is Mr Flatley a spy?

No.

Were you spying on the Helberg?

No.

Hmm, so you are really not a spy?

SHE GULPS

Don't try to fight it.

Your desire to tell all will only grow.

Are you a spy?

Yes.

I knew it. Now tell me everything.

ALARM RINGS

Guard her!

SHE GIGGLES

What are you grinning about?

My friend's standing behind you.

Against the wall!

Sorry, Zoe, it's the truth gas.

Do you have the RCBE working?

She can fly but not for long.

Doesn't need to be for long.

-GIGGLING:

-Just like the real thing!

Careful. If she gets half the chance, she'll rush you.

Look out! There's another one.

THEY LAUGH

Sorry.

That's OK, Roly. You took the attention off Zoe.

Thanks, Roly, great idea falling over like that to distract them.

Er, yeah, pretty clever.

Quick, grab as many cylinders as you can! We need them.

It looks like plans for a hot air balloon.

But where would they get all the material?

The sheets!

Ma'am, I'm in the interrogation room. They jumped us and escaped.

Did they take anything?

Just gas cylinders.

Of course. Not a hot air balloon. A helium balloon.

They're escaping from the roof!

No!

When was the incident in the interrogation room?

Four minutes ago.

Four minutes? Not enough time. They would still be in sight.

Clever. But not clever enough. Regroup. The roof escape was faked.

They're still here!

All floors clear.

Check again! They must be here.

BANGING

CLANKING FROM VENT

Idiots!

Call off the search and converge on the south ventilation duct.

They're trapped.

They're just up ahead. I think we have them.

What's going on?

I think you had better see this for yourself.

Impossible! How did they escape?

SHE ROARS

Keep moving.

Tom, how can get through the sewers,

I thought you said they were full of rain water?

They were. That was before the heat wave lowered the levels.

-I'm OK!

-I can't see!

Everybody, put some of the dinner mush we brought with us

on the back of your necks.

-Gross.

-Oh, it's sticky and it stinks.

ROLY MOANS

Roly! Lick the back of my head one more time

and I'll dump you back in that prison.

THEY LAUGH

Roly, you're disgusting.

That was so exciting, I haven't had so much fun in ages.

OK, we've gotten out of the Helberg,

now how do we get out of the country?

I think I can help with that.

Frank, what an extraordinary coincidence.

The school sent him.

They thought we'd be tired after the escape part of the holiday,

so he's here to take us home. Isn't that right?

Er, yes, that's right. Well done.

Tired? I've never felt more awake in my life. That was amazing.

Come on, let's go back and escape again!

Really, please.

How did you know we'd be here?

Some brilliant deduction from a most unlikely source.

It seems one of you made quite an impression.

Zoe.

Ask your question.

Why did you stay and help us?

You could have been safely away by now.

That's not your question.

Ask your question.

Do you know me?

The last time I saw you, you were very little.

Where? Where was I?

At KORPS HQ. You were with the Master Mind.

He called you "daughter."
