- What do you mean? Where's Alex?

Ladies and gentlemen, Darrius Sayle.

The message is clear.

Education, education,

and...

...education,

which is why I am delighted to accept

the most generous offer

from one of our foremost entrepreneurs

and, indeed, an old school... colleague of mine,

Darrius Smell.

Sayle.

Darrius Sayle.

Oh, I'm just so glad to be here,

with my...

my dear friend, the Prime Minister.

I'm gonna tell you, the Prime Minister

is the one who must take credit

for what's about to happen here.

My Stormbreakers

are about to transform the lives

of every child in this country.

And let me tell you,

this is a day that none of you...

...will ever forget.

And now I shall ask my old friend

to press this button that'll send a signal

that'll activate the Stormbreakers

across this entire nation.

20 seconds to Stormbreaker launch.

Stand by, all schools.

Here we go.

Ten!

Nine!

Eight!

Seven!

Six!

Five!

Four!

Three!

Two!

One!

Give me that.

- Red alert. Secure the area.

- No! Wait!

Hold your fire. He's with us.

Keep calm. He's unarmed.

- Cub?

- Wolf?

He's with us.

Come on. Press it.

- Give me the gun.

- Press the button.

Now!

Get down. Now!

Don't panic. Everything's under control.

- Darrius...

- You twerp.

Prime Minister!

Get out of my way.

How could you let him slip away?

You do realise, Alex,

you nearly shot the Prime Minister?

Congratulations are in order.

Yes, he's done very well, but it's time to go.

- What about Sayle?

- You can leave him to us.

Right.

I can't believe

I let you get mixed up in all this.

But it's over. I'm taking you home.

Where's he going?

To some remote and far away land

where no-one will ever find him -

like Paraguay.

Or Iowa.

Have you got the phone number

of that hunky soldier?

- Jack.

- Do they have numbers?

- Jack! That's it!

- What?

That's Sayle Tower.

I saw a model of the rooftop in Cornwall.

He was talking about a backup.

Something to do with a...

a manual override.

He's gonna set off the virus himself.

Come on, come on, come on!

The traffic in this city!

- We're not gonna make it.

- Come on.

Come on.

Sabina?

Alex?

Sabina.

Alex.

Can you put me through to Mrs Jones?

I don't know her first name.

I'm not sending her a birthday card.

It's an emergency.

Hello?

Ready Steady Go

Third company, left wheel!

Keep going.

# Ready steady go

- Come back here!

- After them!

- Come on!

- Shoulder to shoulder!

- Hold it steady!

- Charge!

- Don't look back.

- Why not?

Trust me.

# Ready... go

Whoa!

# Yo, ready

# Ready, ready

# Yo, ready steady go

# Ready steady go

If anyone comes in, kill 'em.

# Ready steady go

# Ready... go

Hyah!

Yass.

Schoolboy trick.

Stop!

Sorry.

Move yourselves! Over here! Move!

- They're in there.

He's on the roof.

Don't you dare hurt them!

Take up positions.

Get up there! Go!

Loading complete.

- Power failure.

- Mmm.

Satellite link interrupted.

Put it down, boy.

I said put it down.

Come on, come on!

Stay away!

Do you have um... eyeball?

Target acquired.

We can take them... now.

- Fire at my command.

- No, don't hurt Alex!

This isn't only about Alex.

Prepare to fire.

No, wait.

This is not the time for an argument.

Alan! There is no argument.

Stand down.

- Stand down.

Back off!

Whooaahh...

No!

- Hang on!

- You know what got me?

What really got me?

They send a boy.

I don't wanna rock your boat, sonny,

but the party's over.

Adios.

Prepare to fire.

Sabina, I'm gonna swing you onto the balcony.

Alex, don't! The cable will break.

I can do it.

No!

Need a hand?

Ohh!

Why?

Sayle had become an embarrassment

to the people I work for.

What about me?

I had no instructions concerning you.

This doesn't change anything.

You killed my uncle.

You're still my enemy.

I have a lot of enemies.

- This isn't over.

- Yes, Alex... it is.

Go back to school.

You don't belong to the same world as me.

You should forget about me.

I'll never forget you.

Ah, it's your choice.

You know they made me sign

the Official Secrets Act?

I'm not allowed to tell anyone

what happened.

Me, too.

- Are you really a spy?

- No.

That's not what they told me.

No, I'm not a spy.

And it won't happen again.

- No?

- No.

I'm just me.

Glad To Be Here

# You're waiting for the night to come

# Your eyes start shining

as the sun begins to fall

# The feeling something's going on

# An unseen gravity starts pulling you along

# Someone's by your side

you came alone it's fine

# Everyone in here is with you

# Can you feel it take a look around?

# Can't you hear it?

# Sure is good to be here

# There's no reason

# We can't get off the ground

# So come on, throw your hands up

# Sure is good to be here with you

# Sure is good to be here with you

# Your feet are lifting off the ground

# Floating weightless

as you're held up by the crowd

# Reaction speeds up then slows down

# You feel like screaming

but you cannot hear a sound

# Senses come alive

take you on a ride

# Delivers you to something

that has been away too long

# So come on, throw your hands up

# Sure is good to be here with you

# It sure is good to be here with you

# You're digging in your heels to feel alive

# You want no way out

# A burning rush of blood that makes you fight

# You're living in tonight

Oh, yes it feels so right

# You're waiting for the night to come

# Your eyes start shining

as the sun begins to fall

# Someone's by your side

# Everyone in here is with you

# Can you feel it take a look around?

# Can't you hear it?

# Sure is good to be here

# There's no reason

# We can't get off the ground

# So come on, throw your hands up

# Sure is good to be here

# Why can't you feel it?

# Why don't you look around?

# Why can't you hear it?

# It sure is good to be here

# There ain't no reason

why we can't get off the ground

# So come on, throw your hands up

# Sure is good to be here with you

Be My Saviour

# Have you always

# Been afraid of

# What the world can do?

# Be my saviour

# Be my saviour

# Be my saviour, it's cool

# Be my saviour

# Be my saviour

# Be my saviour, it's cool

# It's so true

# I tried to imagine

that a day could pass without you

# I tried to imagine
