Dr. Freda, it's a great pleasure for me to be here today leading your

masterclass. I'm sure all our students will gain enormously from someone with

your world -class experience.

Now, your first opponent, Jason Raptor.

Are your colleagues here?

Watching from base.

He does love being the centre of attention, doesn't he? He could have

Hey, you don't catch me wearing pyjamas in public.

Not bad.

Come on, Jason.

Go on, Jason.

Knocking down his ego.

Cain, calm down.

I don't believe it.

Dr. De Freitas said this might happen.

I know, but...

Still, I don't believe it.

It's getting a bit out of hand, isn't it?

I thought Ed was supposed to be the teacher.

Jason, I need a special treatment too, Dr. Hunter.

This is getting serious.

I want the paramedic now.

Is this what happened before?

Yes, exactly.

Was he going to be all right? The ambulance guy's got here so quickly.

Yes, I'll go with him.

What have you done?

You killed Jason.

Oh, come on.

I feel awful.

I didn't mean to put anyone in hospital.

Don't blame yourself. I'm sure Jeff will be fine.

Has this sort of thing happened at the academy before?

Yes, it has.

All in combat sports? No.

Students in many of our sports programmes have had similar problems.

That's why I asked you to help.

Do you think that Dr Hunter's involved?

Dr Hunter?

Peter Hunter is head of sports medicine.

He's been doing some work on performance enhancers.

Hang on.

Are you telling me that we're dealing with some sort of sports drug abuse

Hunter claims what he's doing is all above board, using natural substances

can help athletes achieve their best possible results.

But you don't believe him? I'm not sure.

He's highly motivated.

He'd do anything in the interest of sport.

Even something illegal?

I need you to tell me that.

What he's been developing is called trimetherone.

Peter says it's harmless, but... Where's Jason now? Local hospital?

I'm afraid I don't know.

Wait a minute. Hunter went in the ambulance with him.

Well, I checked.

No ambulance was called to the academy last night.

Who the heck are those paramedics, then? And where did they take Jason?

Keep him sedated.

Hunter will need to do some tests.

Yes, Colonel.

Dr.

Hunter.

How's Jason? I feel terrible about the accident. Is he okay?

He's doing fine.

Doctor, no one seems to know which hospital he's at.

His father arranged to have him flown home to Miami.

He thinks that Jason will get over this much quitter in the sun.

I had no idea he was American.

No?

Really?

Well, excuse me.

Okay, you're ready.

You there, Beckett?

Yeah, go ahead.

It's coming your way.

Okay.

What do you think you're doing?

Health and safety.

I have to check all your electrical equipment.

Why wasn't I informed?

They're not me.

I'll just do the checks.

I'm just about to do an injection.

I won't be long.

Okay.

There we go.

Now that should improve your time. Thank you, Doctor.

Doctor, we need to talk.

Look, do you think you could come back and do this later?

I'm finished.

Thank you.

Ed, got your picket? There's a bug and a tap on the floor. Beans don't recall.

Just give me more time.

I'm a doctor, not a magician.

What went wrong?

It was an adverse reaction like the others. It won't happen again.

It's just a minor flaw. We'll eliminate it during the final test.

For which there is only a limited time.

But if I don't complete the test, the flaw will keep occurring.

It had better not.

Otherwise, trimetherone is worse than useless.

I've thought it out.

What are you doing?

I'm, um... I'm the new research assistant working with Dr. Hunter on

trimethylone.

Dr. Hunter never mentioned an assistant.

I'm monitoring students taking part in the trials.

So why weren't you in his office just now when he gave me a shot of

trimethylone? Did he?

He should have told me.

Bye.

It was like being chased by Superman. He wouldn't stop.

It was like he felt no pain.

Hey, look at this.

I've been running an ID check on the guy who turned up at Hunter's office.

Colonel Conrad Easterhouse.

Check out the record on this guy.

Must be some kind of warfare junkie.

Ex -Marine. Skilled strategist.

Yeah, probably from the same unit as the guy who chased me. I haven't run so far

since school.

Kid chase?

1500 metres champion.

Yeah, somehow if this Colonel Easterhouse is after trimeserone, I

it's to win a few sports cups.

So why does this Easterhouse want trimeserone?

Well, looking at his record, my guess is that this guy wants to create some kind

of super soldier.

Make an invincible army.

But it doesn't work, does it? I mean, there's something wrong with it.

Well, that may be on this.

It's Hunter's log.

Encrypted, of course.

Well, that shouldn't delay you for too long, should it?

Hello? Hey, that's the bug on Hunter's plan. I'm a failure, Doctor.

I'm beginning to get seriously concerned.

If you're unable to produce a reliable source of trimethyron... It's just a

matter of correlating the data from the student's little cloud. And that'll

solve the problem, will it?

Oh, yes, of course. I'm very nearly there.

I just need more time.

I need another 48 hours. You're already behind schedule.

You can have 24 hours, no longer. It's only a performance enhance, so what's

urgency? I depart tomorrow.

My flight is booked.

I'll be on that plane. What about you?

Got it.

You can tell us about that on the way.

Trimetharone works by affecting serotonin levels in the brain.

It gives you a feeling of confidence in your own abilities and reduces pain and

stress. Now, it doesn't actually make you physically stronger, but it works

because you feel stronger.

Why have people been collapsing?

Well, Hunter's notes say it's a side effect in certain subjects only. It

to cut in when some athletes' heart rates reach 180 beats per minute.

So this stuff is still too risky for East Hounds to use in this present

But if Hunter solves the glitch, what then?

Well, that's where the house was calling from.

Perhaps we'll find the answer here.

Can't believe it.

The place was completely empty. Doesn't even look quite finished yet. You must

have made a mistake.

Ed, that is where Easterhouse phoned from.

Maybe he's got a day job as a construction worker.

Funny.

Hang on.

Can't believe there's no other way in.

Maybe they haven't built it yet.

Don't put up a tower block and forget to build an entrance. Well, I don't know

it. Hey, hey, hey. It came out this way. There's an entrance down there

somewhere.

Well, the power's off. We're not connected yet.

There's certainly another weird thing.

Staircases in the place.

And what the hell is that thing?

Maybe it's part of the video monitoring system.

Whatever it is, it's not working.

Must be right at the top.

Something's got power.

It's light up there too.

Yeah, but if the lift's not on, we can't check it out, can we?

There's always a way up a lift shaft.

Yeah, this is the first story building.

Well, it shouldn't be a problem for a former school sports champion.

Thanks, man.

Up to you, champ.

Thank you.

I'm sure Easter House didn't go up and down this way.

Perhaps he was never actually in the building at all.

What, is that still in the car?

I don't think so, Ed.

How's your fear of heights, Beckett?

I do not have a fear of heights.

I think I can hear electrical equipment.

Will you guys check out that floor?

I'll check out the one above us.

Ed, put your earpiece in and double down.

Interesting technology here. I've never seen anyone quite like it.

Back it up.

It's okay, it's dead like the ones downstairs.

Bingo.

I think I've found the game's room.

Party's gonna be alright.

Computer room.

Someone's in the building.

Turn around.

And one weird computer game.

I didn't get a copy on a floppy.

Ed, you may think that's weird, but you're not looking at what we found.

This is spooky.

Beckett, this is the guy that Ed knocked out.

And this is the one who chased me.

All previous victims of Trimeserone.

And all here.

Hidden away from the authority.

They're being sedated.

Presumably so Dr.

Hunter can carry on with his research.

Is that you, you two jokers?

The big switch on.

It's nothing to do with us.

Okay, Ed, I think our mysterious tenant's just come back.

Okay, let's move up, Bob.

I'll go up to the computer room.

There's got to be another way out of here.

But where?

Ed, we've found a staircase.

It's in the south -western corner.

Follow the corner to the head of the door. I'm right behind you.

Hex.

They've found the stairs.

We can pick them up at our leisure.

Why didn't we find these stairs when we came in?

That would have been far too easy.

Ah, dead end.

Ah, Becker, I saw something back up the stairs.

Just a minute.

Alright, alright, alright.

Look at that! Well done!

Jackpot! This must be the control center.

Hey! Hey John! John!

Where did this go?

Let's find out.

Who are they?

Surveillance experts working for the Academy.

Well -meaning amateurs who want to keep sport clean and gentlemanly.

I don't think we should underestimate them.

They did manage to find it here.

I never underestimate.

One of them was up to something in Hunter's office.

At first, Ed thought this was a computer game. But it's actually a three

-dimensional map of the city.

Now, Easterhouse must have had this model using satellite photography and

local knowledge.

You'll notice the prominence given to government and military buildings.

You see, it's a plan of a military coup. These arrows indicate a possible route

of advance.

But what's it got to do with my sports academy?

Nothing. It's the drug he's interested in. He's using your students to test it.

Elaborate it.

It stops right now.

I'm closing this research programme down.

You can't. Not now. I'm on the verge of perfecting trimetherone. For what

purpose, Dr Hunter?

What purpose?

To revive our sporting fortunes. By cheating?

You know how tight drug testing is in sport.

Ah, but that's the beauty of trimetherone. It's completely

You do know Easterhouse wants to use trimetherone for military purposes.

Believe me, he has no interest in sport whatsoever.

You've got that completely wrong.

Dr. Hunter, he's planning a military takeover in his own country. That's

enough.

You really shouldn't give lectures on subjects you don't understand.

Dr. Hunter, are we ready to begin the final testing?

Yes. I've said the test program is finished.

It's not.

And I've found a perfect guinea pig to test the new trimethyronon.

Dr. De Freyton?

No.

Her.

Do as you're told, or I'll kill Dr. De Freitas.

Doesn't look like I have much choice, does it?

Good.

I'll take these two and Dr. Hunter with me.

Heck, you know what to do.

Bait the trap and eliminate the others.

Don't get any clever ideas. I won't hesitate to kill you if I have to.

I've just been on the phone to the embassy.

They listen to you?

Well...

It seems they've got a bit of a panic on.

Their president's due here on a state visit tomorrow.

Well, that explains the urgency.

Easterhouse's coup is scheduled to happen while the president's out of the

country.

Colonel Easterhouse, sir.

It's Hex here.

I've good news. I'm with Dr. Hunter.

Cleaves' work on the trimeserone is completed.

You can now deliver what you want.

Good. Good.

I'll meet you at the Ninth Avenue station.

I'll bring the whole new batch.

Excellent.

What time?

Noon. I'll see you there.

Change of plan?

No.

Well, sounds like they've perfected it.

We'd better check it out.

Perfect place for a handover.

We need a vantage point.

Right then, let's get the testing started.

I don't think we need that headset, do you?

We're ready.

That hurt.

Let Dr. De Freitas go. I said I'll do your stupid test.

I'm afraid I still have a need for Dr. De Freitas.

Start the machine.

So this is the new improved trimeserone, is it?

The previous versions often caused problems with athletes.

when their heart rate reached 180.

But you can keep a check on your heart rate by looking at the machine print out

there.

And what will this one do to me?

We really don't know.

You may live.

You may die.

Either way, you will not be in a position to further inconvenience my

I want to be homing in on a radio frequency.

Lay your hands down.

Gotcha.

I've linked your treadmill to this machine that Dr. De Freitas is using.

I've set it at a level that Dr. De Freitas should be able to resist.

But if your heart rate falls below 140, the mass will be increased, and Dr. De

Freitas will be crushed.

Forget me, Ross. Don't do that.

Good. Keep going.

This is the danger zone.

Yes!

She's done it. Excellent. Now... With or without trimethyrosis, she can't take

much more.

You'll be pleased to know that Dr.

Hunter's drug has passed the test with flying color.

Good.

What about me? Oh, I think you can do more, don't you?

What are you doing? She can't cope with more.

Let's see, shall we?

But she's already run faster than a two -hour marathon. What more do you want?

I want to take the new Trimetherone to the limit. She's expendable.

What?

Wait a minute.

Is there any truth in what she told me about you and some invasion plan?

Are the military interested in my research?

I'm funding your research.

Just carry on with the test.

Now, the test is over.

Trimetherone works.

Well done.

How do you feel?

Help me!

Hunter, all you've done is push back a failure threshold.

Quickly, quickly, hold her up.

Here.

Going somewhere?

No exit.

I owe you an apology, Dr. Hunter.

It does work.

Report. Mission objectives achieved.

I hope you weren't expecting your friends to come and rescue you.

What? Both targets erased.

All the data is on this? The new formula, everything?

Yes, that's right.

Excellent.

Come with me now.

I want Hex to be the first to try this.

New. Try Mezzerone.

Get ready to pull out.

Destroy all evidence?

Completely. You're going to blow us up.

What about those people in there?

Casualties of war. Hunter! Is this really necessary?

This is a ball -bearing timing device.

There are 16 gallons of highly volatile dinitrobenzene here.

The liquid is connected to the tamper -proof timing mechanism.

When all the ball bearings reach the bottom, the liquid will explode.

Boom!

Hex?

Dr. Hunter?

Hex, you are honored.

The first of a new breed of soul.

You really are good at the start of war, and I thought we were going to help

people win gold medals.

What is sport in combat except a pale imitation of the glories of war?

But that's why we have sport. It's a harmless conflict, a safe form of

between nations. Which you wanted to cheat at.

At least war is honest combat.

Honest?

You used me, and now you've got what you want.

You let them go.

I'm afraid that won't be possible.

Sometimes you have to accept silver.

Move.

Move! Now!

That was really, really stupid.

Somehow I don't think getting in this time is going to be so easy.

I'm in the control suite, Colonel.

Right. Can you see Hunter?

He's in the lift.

Make sure he doesn't leave the building.

We also have two intruders at car park level.

Easterhouse, get me out of here.

Save your strength.

You'll need it.

I've adjusted the weight.

Not even three bodybuilders on Tri -Mezoran could lift that.

Easterhouse.

Easterhouse!

Eat the house!

Beckett, what do you think this is?

Nothing nice.

Those two again.

Sir, the intruders have reached the lift area.

Activate the ESF barrier.

What the hell is that?

Some kind of heat generator?

Thank God. You must help me.

Hunter, look out. It's carrying some kind of charge. Charge? What kind of

charge? Don't touch it! Come back!

No! If he finds me, he'll kill me!

Security systems working.

Where's Hunter?

He's going back up in the lift.

Somewhere above level six.

He's got the trimesa room.

I'll go after him.

And the intruders?

You told me they were dead.

I'm sorry, Colonel.

Leave them. They can't get past the ESF barrier.

Stay here. Follow Hunter on these.

Beckett, Ed.

Ed! Beckett, can you hear me?

Ross?

Where are you?

We're stuck in the basement.

There's a kind of force field barrier we can't seem to get past.

Okay, look up to the ceiling.

There's a mushroom -shaped receptor. Can you see it?

That's the remote on -off for the entire building's power supply. Can you access

it?

Beckett. Yeah, Ros, we're both still with you. Hang on a sec.

Beckett, I think I can trip an emergency override on this thing.

Will that give it a couple of seconds?

Until it resets.

Never did think much of those trousers.

Beckett, Hunter's got the trimeserone and the data.

Lisa House is stalking him.

And they've killed Dr. De Freitas.

Why? What did she do?

Nothing. She just got in their way. These people are mad.

We'll get after each other.

What about the man with the missiles?

He's gone to the control room.

I'll take care of him.

Hex has had a dose of the new trimeserone.

Oh, excellent.

And there's another thing. There's a time problem, too.

Easterhouse has wired this place to a huge, inflammable bomb. This just gets

better and better, doesn't it?

Sir, the intruders have breached the ESF barrier.

You fool, Hex.

Disable the lift.

Lift?

It must be an override.

They know where we are.

They're in communication with each other.

Well, I'll scan for them. You find the control room.

Excellent.

Any sighting of Hunter?

No, sir.

Ed, I've got you down.

He's on level 26.

I'm going to take the stairs this time.

Colonel, one of the intruders is approaching your position.

I'll be ready for him.

I'm about to eliminate Hunter.

Ross, what's happening with the patients up there?

They're still being sedated. I think I can advise him. Oh, yeah?

When did you go to medical school?

I know what I'm doing.

Oh, do your thing, Dr. Ross!

Jason.

Jason!

Don't ask. Where am I, right?

Good question. Very long and complicated answer, though.

Jason, I need you to help me with the others.

Guys, I hate to tell you this, but this bomb really is tamper -proof. I can't do

this. Then get those people out of there, Roz.

Gosh, why didn't I think of that?

Hunter, wait!

Shoot me and you'll never get your hands on this!

Now stay back, or this goes!

We can talk about this.

Don't waste all those years of research.

Stay awake!

What are you doing? Come on, you've got to get out of here.

Come on.

Hunter, grab me. If you're only challenging, you're dead.

Ned, can you send me the lift now?

I've got an idea.

Hey, have you got control?

Come on, Ned, I need this lift!

Ned, I need it now!

Away from the lift.

Hex. The lift to level 26.

Now.

On the way up, Rose.

Hunter.

If you wouldn't mind.

You okay?

Ed, you really have got to work on your time.

That's it.

I can't do any more today.

Oh, come on, mate. You've only just started.

Trust me, this is going to make you feel great. And who knows, maybe one day you

might win yourself one of these.

Best form of aerobic exercise you could do, you know, skiing.

Here we go.

You know, too much exercise.

It's bad for you. Yeah, well, so is too little, Beckett. Healthy body, healthy

mind. Oh, that's easy for you to say. Look at you.

Even your muscles have got muscles.

Yeah, mine too.

At least Ed's 100 % pure.

No trimethyron.

No artificial stimulant. Thank you.

Almost. I do like my chocolate.
