VOICEOVER: Previously on Itch... What did you find on Roshanna's USB?

It's a complete atomic analysis of Element 126.

And I want to know why they're so desperate to have it back.

FLOWERDEW: In a few hours,

I'll have made the most significant scientific discovery

in the history of humankind.

Where should we aim for?

Here - the central lab.

Whatever project Albatross has become, you'll find it there.

Yes!

Itch, what is that thing?

It's a cyclotron.

I think they're going to try to synthesise Element 126.

Very good!

Dr Flowerdew! YOU'RE behind all of this?

Take their bags and lock them up.

No, you don't understand what you're doing!

Jack, I need you to go to Fitzherbert's Mine

where I hid the rock, and you need to bring it here to me.

Itch, you're really scaring me.

And, Jack, it's underwater.

Under a lot of water.

We need to get your diving gear.

(THEME MUSIC PLAYS)

How deep does this mine go?

Almost 400 metres.

You'll need to carry your gear down the ladder.

It's OK. I can manage.

How much air do you think you have left?

Just over half a tank. Is that enough?

If I breathe slowly.

(TRILLING)

The latest readings from the cyclotron.

Ooh!

(CHUCKLES)

Just as I expected.

Start preparing the materials.

(TRILLING)

Dad...

..I said I'm sorry.

My friends must have found out I was spying for you

or they were testing me.

First - they are not your friends.

Second - you're too trusting.

I hope this is a lesson learned.

What can I do? I want to help.

(PHONE RINGS)

What is it?

I'm about to start the final trial.

You will have your element in just a few hours.

Even without the data stolen by Roshanna Wing?

I figured it out myself.

Excellent work, Dr Flowerdew.

We'll be ready to proceed just as soon as you arrive.

Good.

I, uh... I did, however,

catch Itchingham Lofte and some of his friends in the lab earlier.

And you're just telling me this now?

No, it's OK. I took care of it.

They are not going anywhere.

What if the others can't find the rock?

They'll find it.

Jack and Darcy won't let us down.

You still haven't said why you need it.

I'm hoping we won't need it at all.

But it might be our last chance if things go really wrong.

Wrong as in?

Well, if you thought the dead fish were bad.

Rogers has recruited more officers to look for Roshanna Wing.

Change of plans. We don't need Roshanna anymore.

However, the Lofte boy has been causing trouble.

He's been apprehended at the lab, but I need eyes on his friends.

There can be no more interference.

Bella, you say you want to help?

Mm.

I need you to find Itchingham's sister.

Do whatever it takes to gain her trust and tell me what she's up to.

CHLOE: Why isn't Itch calling me back?

Still nothing.

Try one of the others.

(RINGING TONE)

Lucy's not answering either.

I'll try Jack.

(PHONE RINGS)

Chloe. Jack, is Itch with you?

No, I don't know what's going on, but he said he needs the rock.

Wait, the rock wasn't destroyed?

It's a long story that we don't have time for right now.

Me and Darcy are heading to the mine to get it.

Fitzherbert's? Chloe, I've gotta go.

Itch will explain later.

Let's go get this rock.

(ENGINE STARTS)

We have to convince Flowerdew to stop.

I doubt he'll listen.

But talking to him would at least slow him down, right?

Dr Flowerdew!

Dr Flowerdew! Dr Flowerdew!

Dr Flowerdew! Hey! Will you stop that?!

You do realise you're underground

and that no-one can hear you?

It's you I want to talk to.

Uh-huh. And what's so important?

What you're doing is wrong.

Oh, spare me.

I've heard all your moral arguments before.

Your science is wrong.

And what do you know of my science?

I know it keeps failing.

And this attempt is also going to fail.

And lead to more pollution and more dead fish and...

Trial and error is how science works.

But I'm delighted to report

that we've now identified

which elements to fuse in order to synthesise Element 126.

Loftium.

And you're still wrong. It can't be synthesised.

Oh, but it can.

And soon I'll have my new element,

and your Loftium will be no more than a footnote in history.

Ah, supplies.

Now, you're gonna be here a while.

I suggest you make it last.

Wait! No...

I'm starting to get really worried.

And soon Mum's gonna start wondering where both me and Itch are.

Then go.

(SIGHS)

We need to find a way out.

We have to stop Flowerdew before it's too late.

Yep, how?

We already tried to break the lock and failed.

There has to be another way.

Why won't he tell us why he needs the rock?

He must have his reasons.

(SIGHS) Nope.

Tim?

Ah! There.

What about that?

So, where's the mine shaft?

From where we are, quickest way would be along the conveyor belt

and up past that heap of rubble.

You mean through that tunnel?

We can go the long way.

No, this tank's super heavy.

I don't want to have to walk any more than I need to.

I'll help. No, it looks super dark in there.

It's safer if you just stay here.

I'll keep a lookout.

How long does half a tank of air buy you?

About...

..35 minutes.

Is that enough?

Only one way to find out.

Wait.

Set a timer on your watch.

Don't stay underwater for more than 35 minutes,

whether you have the rock or not, OK?

Got it.

I mean it, Darcy.

I'll be alright.

(PANTS)

It's tight in here. I can't see where it goes.

But once I'm through I'll come and unlock the door.

Only if it's safe. Otherwise get out and raise the alarm.

(GROANS)

(PHONE CHIMES)

(AIR HISSES)

What if they can't get the rock and this is all for nothing?

They'll get it.

How do you know?

Whatever happens...

..I'm glad we're facing it together.

Me too.

(BIRD CAWS)

You'd better be swimming back up by now.

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

Itch?!

Bella?

What are you doing here? Can I come in?

Itch is in trouble. Actually, you're all in trouble.

What's happened? Has your dad found out you're...

Helping you guys? No, he still thinks I'm helping him.

That's how I know they have Itch and the others.

They were caught? They're being held at the lab.

And Dad ordered his security team to follow the rest of you.

Oh, this is bad. Really bad.

What do we do?

Where's your friend? Stay back.

(GRUNTS)

Darcy!

I need to get my friend. You're not going anywhere.

And neither are you. Go. Help Darcy.

I'll take care of her.

Oh!

(LAUGHS) Is that your best shot?

You may as well give up.

You're never gonna win against GreenCorp.

I wouldn't be so sure about that.

(GRUNTS)

(GRUNTS)

Argh!

(GRUNTS)

(GRUNTS, GRUNTS)

Argh!

(GROANS) (BREATHES HEAVILY)

(PANTS)

(TRILLING)

You've brought the trial forward.

Yes.

Sir, we haven't had a chance to recheck the calculations.

There's no need. I've checked them myself.

But a controlled check is standard practice.

I mean, if the trial fails,

there's no way that we can possibly guarantee the integrity...

It won't fail!

You're risking catastrophe.

Look, I... I can't be a part of this.

Then leave.

(CLATTERING)

Do you think he's made it out?

Don't know. But at least he hasn't been caught.

Why do you say that?

Flowerdew would have checked to see if we'd escaped too.

What do we do if he can't get help in time?

We find our own way out.

(COMPUTER BLIPS)

(SQUEAKING)

Ah!

The pressure inside the bottle creates compressed air.

But only a small amount. That's all I need.

Releasing the pressure should turn it to steam.

Which will trigger the alarm. Exactly!

(ALARM BLARES)

(BOTH LAUGH)

Where did that alarm originate?

Well, shut it off!

I'll take care of it myself.

(ALARM CONTINUES BLARING)

(ALARM CONTINUES BLARING)

(ALARM STOPS)

I'm getting a little sick of this interference!

Hey!

Itch! Open up!

(PANTS)

Darcy!

(GASPS)

(COUGHS) You alright?

You got it?

Come on.

Whoa. Back, quick. Back, back.

Now what? We need to get back to the entrance.

Do you remember which way we came?

This way.

Come on.

Sorry.

It's OK.

Nice work.

We need to get back to Seaburgh. Now.

I'll drive. It'll be faster.

Don't worry, I'll make sure someone finds you.

In case she escapes.

Have you heard from Itch?

Maybe Chloe has.

(PHONE RINGS) Oh, finally!

We have a big problem. Itch and the others are trapped in the lab.

What? Are they OK?

I haven't been able to get hold of any of them.

OK, we're on our way.

You need to hurry. Dad told them to start the trial straightaway.

He's what?

We'll get there as fast as we can.

Why am I the one who always has to wait at home?

Maybe because you're...

Itch?! Chloe?!

We can't say anything or she'll freak out.

She needs to know. I know, but I promised Itch.

I need to give him a chance to get out before I do.

Hi, Mum.

I need you and your brother to help me with the shopping bags.

Where is he? Your guess is as good as mine.

He'd better not be getting into any trouble. I'll give him a call.

Hi! I'm Bella.

Oh, hi, Bella! Oh, you're doing music camp with Chloe.

Uh... Thanks for having me over.

You have a lovely home.

Well, technically it's not mine. (CHUCKLES) But thank you.

We were just about to go sit out by the pool.

You should totally come hang out with us.

Oh. (CHUCKLES)

OK.

I'll just fix us some lunch first.

What are you doing? I don't want to hang out with my mum.

It's either that or she calls Itch.

(SIGHS)

(GROANS, PANTS)

Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait.

We're going the right way. The exit's just up here.

Oh!

Agent Rogers.

We need to stop Flowerdew.

This experiment he's doing, it could destroy Seaburgh.

That is enough, Itch.

You have to arrest him.

Sorry, Itch.

I warned you to stay away from GreenCorp.

You're with THEM?

I called Agent Rogers here

to make sure you didn't cause any more trouble.

And not a minute too soon, it seems.

How can you do this?

Everyone's got a price, Itch.

Where's the Curran boy?

(SNICKERS)

I see.

Well, I've had enough of this.

Your little adventure...

..is over.
