The Hive M.I. High

'Mastermind, the tests are now complete.

'The results have exceeded all our expectations.

'We're ready to commence the next stage of Operation Chaos!'

The 21st-century faces a new kind of threat

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

Hidden in a place no villain will think to look, welcome to MI High.

That's my favourite Pookie Plumber film.

What's with the new wristbands?

Didn't you see the new Pookie Plumber film?

They were giving them away at the cinema.

Some of us had to visit our aunties.

Oh, dear, don't think I can talk to you any more!

Wow, it's amazing, it's so...great. What is it?

It's a water blaster.

Made it meself. Watch this.

Hey! What are you doing?!

Sorry, still ironing out a few niggles.

-Great job, Roland.

-It's not really great.

You need to rebalance the water bottle

and adjust the nozzle pressure valve to compensate, like this.

Ugh!

-What was that for? My hair's going to go massive now!

-There.

You can keep it.

Honestly, Zoe, sometimes I wonder if your parents are robots!

Bees, ants, termites,

they're examples of creatures that operate with a hive mind.

That's when an entire colony work together for a single purpose,

but it can be a terribly destructive force too.

Sorry to interrupt, Mr McNab,

I just wanted to let everyone know that I shall be away for a few days

attending a conference on school discipline.

BELL RINGS

So whilst I'm away, please make sure that you... Oh...

This lot don't have a single consciousness,

never mind a collective one.

Always a ray of sunshine, Mr McNab.

Delegates are arriving at a conference to discuss

what can be done about the epidemic of bad behaviour in schools.

One headmistress expressed concerns about behavioural standards

slipping to unprecedented lows in recent weeks

and commented that she believed it was time for a fundamental

reassessment of how discipline is regimented in schools nationwide.

The Ministry for Education hope to agree and implement

a national curriculum for behavioural standards

during the course of the conference.

'St Heart's High School has been selected to take part in

'an experiment to improve behaviour and discipline.

'The Minister looks forward, very much, to visiting the school

'at the end of the week to see the results for herself.'

Oh, there are going to be some changes around here!

Morgan, fix your tie!

Donaldson, tuck your shirt in, boy!

Come on!

-That's the bloke off the TV!

-Jimmy Jubbly, the cook!

Jimmy Jubbly's not just a cook,

he campaigns for better food for schools.

-That's not going to be hard here.

-Hi, Jimmy!

-Hi!

-Excuse me, can I help you?

-Yeah, I'm Jimmy Jubbly.

The Minister sent me, you know, for the experiment.

Oh, you?

Yeah, me, Jimmy Jubbly.

Come on where's the kitchen?

Oi! I was going to sit there!

Sorry, only people with Pookie Plumber wristbands

are allowed at this table.

HE WHISTLES

Ho-oh-oh! Sorry - no band, no chip.

Ouch! What was that for?

THEY CHEER AND LAUGH

Jubblyade?

Yep. All natural ingredients designed to counteract

all the rubbish in kidses bodies. Help them to concentrate.

Right, so it's some kind of health kick...

No! Kids only.

Now, it needs time to build up in their systems.

We should see the results in a couple of days.

-Gordon Bennett!

-Halt!

What these kids need doesn't come in a bottle.

All right? How you doing?

-Children, this is Jimmy Jubbly.

-It's Jimmy Jubbly!

He's going to give you some Jubblyade, which is

"a refreshing, nutritious drink," apparently.

Now, who's feeling thirsty?

-Mission on.

-Come on!

Oh, well, can't please everybody.

Dan, Zoe and Aneisha will shortly be arriving at an abandoned warehouse.

Sensors have picked up a very unusual audio waveform

coming from inside the building.

We need you to do a sweep of all floors

and locate whatever the source of the signal was.

-Hey, guys, wait up!

-Thanks, Dan.

Thanks, Dan(!)

Intelligence suggests KORPS are involved,

so proceed with extreme caution.

Roger that. Aneisha, you check out this floor.

-Zoe, you and I will take upstairs.

-Sure.

-IMITATES ZOE AND DAN:

-You and I take upstairs. Sure!

RATS SQUEAK

Ugh!

Aneisha, you OK?

Yeah, I'm fine.

That's weird...

I think I've got something.

Wait for backup. Dan and Zoe are on their way.

They didn't wait for me.

Aneisha, that's an order. Wait!

-ALARM SYSTEM:

-Intruder alert.

Initiating self-destruct sequence in five...

four...

three...

-two...

-Uh-oh!

One.

LOUD BANG!

Aneisha!

Aneisha?

SHE COUGHS

SHE GROANS

-You OK?

-I feel sick.

SHE BURPS

Nice(!)

-Sorry I can't keep anything down, Frank.

-Apart from stale bread.

It seems, if that's the only side effect, it's likely to be temporary

but as a precaution, I'm taking you off active duty.

That's not...

Do we know what KORPS were up to in there?

I'm still running tests on the stuff Aneisha swallowed.

Thank heavens for the boy genius.

I've figured out the source of the original audio wave.

A hamster wheel?

But not one, thousands of them all turning at once.

That's impossible.

To generate a signal like the one you detected would require

all the mice to work together in perfect synch.

Which is more than can be said for you three.

You're supposed to be a team, what happened in there?

Romeo and Juliet went off and left me.

And YOU were supposed to wait for a backup.

That was stupid and reckless.

You got away with it this time, but next time you might not be so lucky.

I'm very disappointed. You are MI9 agents, I expect more from you.

Oh, dear, oh, dear.

Is that what passes for art these days?

-It's for the show.

-What show?

But this is the day the Minister's coming to visit!

-How come I didn't know about this?

-It was Mr Flatley's idea.

-Mr F...

Yes, of course it was. Right. Well, you're going to have to start again.

-Why, sir?

-You're going to have to do...

That took me ages. Hey!

..a proper art show! One that St Heart's can be proud of.

Figured what I ate yet?

No, but I know the way you can't keep anything down.

Whatever this stuff is,

it's so highly concentrated your body's natural defences

went on red alert, triggering a massive autoimmune response.

Until your antibodies calm down,

your body's going to treat everything you eat as hostile.

It's not fair that the others get a mission

and I'm stuck here with Mr McNab.

If you go on a mission before you're ready,

you could put your team-mates in jeopardy.

It's not just about you, Aneisha.

The Jubblyade's had a couple of days to get in the kidses system.

I reckon we could see some improvements this morning.

I wouldn't hold out too much hope. Brace yourselves.

Where did you get your coat?

I got it from a new shop on the High Street. We should go sometime.

Good, good. Ah, Donaldson, tuck... Oh, you have done.

Hey, all right, bruv?

Morgan, put your... Oh, you have done.

Stop right there, young lady!

You of all people should know the school rules -

no personal items on the school uniform.

-But Mr Flatley...

-But Mr Flatley's not here, is he? Mr Flatley?

Appears he's not here, so we'll be doing things my way.

The other children don't have a problem with it, do you?

-Very good.

-Pukka!

They're kind of freakishly well-behaved.

-ALL: Hello, Aneisha.

-Hi.

Dan, I can't take you seriously like that.

Thank you, I like it this way.

-Do you think Dan's acting funny?

-Not particularly.

Wow, Zoe, that's beautiful.

-And Melissa, you've really captured it.

-Thank you, Tom.

-No problem.

What do you notice about this?

It's been torn to bits.

Strange, because it looks like it was torn apart from the inside.

That's not the only strange thing.

Dan, Tom and Zoe are acting really weird.

How do you mean?

Zoe's suddenly best pals with Melissa,

Dan's being all neat and tidy

and Tom is actually engaging with other kids for once.

Sounds like they've taken on board what Stella's said.

Maybe you should too.

On this screen, here,

you can see the kids before they had their Jubblyade.

But on this screen over here, you can see the kids after.

I can assure you, Mr Jubbly, we at the Department

could not be more delighted with the results of the experiment.

In fact, a shipment of Jubblyade

has already been sent to every school in the country.

Oh, lovely jubbly! Oh, Minister, if I could see you, I'd kiss you.

You don't realise the difference this is going to make to those kids!

Oh, but I do.

-After you.

-Thank you.

-Have a nice day.

-Here, let me get that for you.

-Thanks, Tom.

Have a nice day.

-Your coat's...

-There's a new shop in the open High Street.

-You should come with us sometime.

-Have a nice day.

'With reports coming in all across the country

'of dramatically improved behaviour in schools,

'the conference has ended on a positive note.'

Unbelievable!

I'm a genius.

PHONE BEEPS

Hello?

No, I understand, mum's the word. I'll be right there.

-Frank, Frank, I just wanted to say sorry...

-Can it wait, Aneisha?

-Something urgent's just come up.

-Have a nice day.

This can't be right.

This is going to hurt, sorry.

Thank you so much. Have a nice day.

No virus in the blood, Flopsy? What is it, then?

-What are you guys doing her?

-How are you feeling, Aneisha?

-Still?

-Is everything OK?

-What's going on?

-Your team-mates are worried about you.

-You just don't seem yourself.

You're kidding, right?

We just want you to know we're here for you.

This is nuts!

I see what you mean.

Ah, just in time. We've run out of the first batch.

Oh, new flavour is it?

Oh, very good.

-Mr F.

-Oh, Frank, is that really you?

I thought no-one was ever going to find me!

It's going to be OK.

Yes, you didn't tell anyone, did you? It would be so embarrassing.

Not a soul. How did you end up in here?

When the conference ended, I got locked in.

I wandered round the building for hours, trying to find a way out

and came in here, but what I didn't realise was that it has

-one of those doors that locks automatically.

-No, headmaster!

What's the matter with you guys?

Snap out of it!

ALL: Have a nice day.

I've tried everything, Flopsy.

There's no known mind control that fits this profile.

What...

You're right, it's not what's wrong with everyone else,

but what's right with me!

Full medical scan. Patient name, Aneisha Jones.

Right, today is going to be pukka,

cos I've brought the Education Minister here down to the school

to see for herself the results of Jubblyade,

and it's going to be lovely jubbly!

-Ah, Mr McNab, this here is the Minister.

-Minister!

Right, me and the lads are going to go and check the gear.

I'll see you two cats laters.

-Fab!

-Minister.

So kind of you to take the time

to show me around your lovely school, Headmaster.

Actually, it's only acting headmaster.

You exude such authority. You must get that all the time.

Please, have a seat.

Are you quite certain you haven't been sampling the Jubblyade?

HE LAUGHS

Yes, I get it.

If you have a look at the discipline records,

the results are through the roof.

I mean, I was sceptical at first, but now I'm a total convert.

That's so nice to hear.

Of course, you won't mind if I take a look around myself?

-It's working!

-Very realistic.

Hello?

Mr Jubbly, you seem anxious?

Minister, we've got a serious problem -

someone's been tampering with my recipe.

Tampering?

Such a crude word.

I'd prefer "enhanced."

You!

Jubblyade showed great promise.

We've simply taken it to the next level.

But these kids, it was just supposed to make them more focused!

These kids have become mindless.

Yes, they've become our mindless kids.

-What have you done?

-Nothing...yet.

No, no, look! Don't do it! Don't drink it! I didn't sign up for this.

We were supposed to make them better,

make them work hard at school.

We're going to get done for this.

Oh, no, don't.

Come on!

Perfect.

Frank?

Oh, hello, you must be Stella, our saviour.

Why did you call me? You could have easily got yourself out of here.

With Mr Flatley watching it would've given the game away.

I'm supposed to be a school caretaker, not an MI9 agent.

I see you two have a little secret.

You make a lovely couple.

Oh no, no, no.

No.

Come on.

Come on!

Everything normal, apart from my food allergy.

But all I've been eating for days is stale bread.

Jubblyade!

Compare this to the stuff I swallowed from the explosion.

The gloop in the warehouse is very similar to Jubblyade,

but massively concentrated.

So for Jubblyade to work,

it's got to be diluted, otherwise the body's defences reject it.

I've got to sort this on my own.

Oh, no!

So sorry...

I'm so scared!

HE SOBS

What's that?

Please! No! Don't hurt me!

-I'm not one of them.

-Oh, oh!

Look, what happened? Your experiment went wrong?

-Drones turned on their master? What?

-It wasn't meant to be like this.

She... She violated production of Jubblyade

-and she somehow tampered with the recipe.

-She who?

The Education Minister.

Those kids, they're my mates. Isn't there an antidote to Jubblyade?

-I'm not a scientist.

-No, but you're a chef.

I'm a chef.

I'm a... I'm a celebrity chef!

You know what? I reckon I could rustle something up

and detox those kids good and proper.

-I know just the place.

-Pukka!

Oh, amazing, look at all that veg!

Right, remember kids, be careful with knives at home.

My dad cut four of his thumbs off, very dangerous.

Er... Cauliflower.

Are you making this up?

No! How dare you! I'm a chef!

Shove that in... vitamin C sort of vibe.

Argh!

Got you then, didn't I?

Pop that in.

Chuck it in.

Now, let's cut to a little bit of TV magic.

Oh, let's have a little taste of that.

Oh, lovely jubbly!

Yummy.

-It didn't make me throw up!

-Thanks very much(!)

No, I mean, I'm better,

but how are we going to get everyone to drink it?

Drink your KORPSade, children.

Now you, along with all the other children in the country,

are of one mind.

Your mission is simple and will come naturally - create chaos.

Create the ultimate destruction. Tear it down. Rip it up.

Riot. Riot!

RIOT!

ALL: Riot! Riot! Riot! Riot! Riot! Riot!

Riot! Riot! Riot! Riot!

Yes!

Riot! Riot! Riot! Riot!

Little bit of cream, lovely bit of garnish.

Riot! Riot! Riot!

Wait! Oh, water blasters - great idea.

-Locked.

-And loaded!

Riot! Riot! Riot! Riot! Riot! Riot!

Jubbly, what are you doing?

Get your Jubblyade antidote here!

Destroy them!

It's detox time.

Riot! Riot! Riot! Riot! Riot!

-Eat that!

-It's not working!

Aim for their faces - they've got to taste it.

-Is it my imagination or is it very quiet, Frank?

-Ah, headmaster!

-Good conference?

-Where are all the kids?

If you care to follow me, I think you're in for a big surprise.

Riot! Riot! Riot!

Point this at my mates. Get them first.

Dan! No!

Aneisha, it worked! We're OK!

-Glad to have you back.

-Good to be back.

Watch this!

Get them!

You spineless children!

No!

THEY CHEER

Let's get out of this madhouse.

Really, Mr McNab, I go away for a few days and this is what happens?

Right, you lot!

-Watch this...

-I will not tolerate...

JIMMY LAUGHS

Zoe, are you OK?

It's my new look.

After the past few days,

I decided that being like everybody else is for losers.

You're going to have to say something to her.

I love it, Zoe, I wouldn't change it for the world.

Right, children,

your punishment for the mess you made yesterday

is to clear it all up.
