"It's too tight." "I can't move." "Neither can I." "We're running out of time." "One minute." "I can't believe we're going to be dropped into a pit of piranhas!" "I hate piranha." "They're like goldfish with teeth." "Sharks would be better." "One bite and it's over." "Or alligators." "Or koala bears." "They'd hug us to death." "It'd be adorable!" "I would so post that." "Brazilian wandering spider." "One bite and we're toast." "Suddenly piranha don't sound so bad." "We agree." "Okay, piranhas." "Hold on, guys." "I have an idea." "Adri, do you have your compact?" "Am I shiny?" "A little, but that's not why I need it." "Cam, reach into Adri's pocket, then hand it to me." "Oh, so she's the shiny one." "I was going to say something, but I didn't think now was the time." "I see where you're going." "All you have to do is move it so the solar radiation hitting the lens focuses to a tiny point, generating a lot of heat." "Thirty seconds." "Focus the light onto the rope." "It's working!" "♪ Oh yeah, oh yeah ♪" "♪ We're free We're unstoppable ♪" "And still trapped in here!" "My nail polish!" "You think now is the time to do your nails?" "That's not what I had in mind." "Temporarily blinded!" "Not good." "Sorry." "Ten seconds." "There's gotta be a way out!" "I will not be happy if I become a piranha's Happy Meal." "I just wanted to say, if we go out this way," "I really enjoyed working with you." "Guys, I brought you into NOV-Eight." "I'll sacrifice myself." "Maybe the piranha will get full." "No, we came in as one..." "We'll go out as one." "I agree." "We let the fish choose." "Time." "You are all terminated." "Training session failure." "Great." "Failure is a little harsh." "We did get out of the chairs this time." "Remind me again why we have to go through all this?" "This is so exciting!" "I never get tired of celebrating us." "We are so trending right now." "S.B.S.W.E!" "I know." "Stopping Black Star was epic!" "For the record, the success of your mission was mostly due to my BFF, McKeyla." "I'm just saying." "Hey, what about the sweet new lab?" "It's so magnífico!" " Hashtag, amazeblogs!" " Guys, it's on." "A quick follow-up to an earlier story regarding the plot to steal cyber data by the Black Star security company during a recent shuttle launch." "Sources tell us that the four Maywood Glen Academy girls credited with saving the day had, in fact, nothing to do with saving the day." "Just four kids in the right place at the right time." "Charming?" "Yes." " Heroes?" "Not." "But we stopped Black Star." "We were heroes." "I'm calling someone." "Wait, who am I calling?" "Oh, no!" "My followers are unfollowing me!" "Por un momento, we had become the most popular secret spies in town!" "There must be some mistake." "Yeah." "Wait, maybe this isn't a mistake." "You're right." "McKeyla, you of all people should've known that for a secret agent to be successful, she needs to remain secret." "It has to be enough to know your capabilities and strengths." "Public praise is not something we seek." "I seek it." "Sorry, I guess we did get a little caught up." "And that's why I had to re-establish your cover." "Now, before you'll be assigned another case," "I'm sending you all back to basic training." "Until then, you'll return to Maywood Glen Academy as ordinary students." "Girls, I know you'll do your best to help McKeyla fit in." "Wait, why do I have to go back to basic?" "I mean, it's not as if I made that big of a scene." " Really?" "You certainly got your groove on, M." "Okay." "But..." "I still don't think it's necessary" "This is not up for discussion." "You have your orders." "That's a side of Quail we haven't seen before." "Hashtag, harsh." "Tell me about it." "Can you imagine her being your mom?" "Nightmare." "One day, I will come face-to-face with this Quail, and I will have words for her!" "And the first word that comes to mind is..." "Stylish!" " Yeah." " You look awesome." "And I love your shoes!" "What?" "I've never seen her below the waist." "Hello, Adrienne, Bryden, Camryn." "Guys, uh, meet my mom." "Nice to meet you, Mrs. Quail." "It's Mrs. McAlister outside the lab." "Now, have a good day at school." "And remember, McKeyla's always been a little socially... challenged." "Do your best to help her out." "You know, up until third grade, she wouldn't leave the house without Mr. Fuzzy Bear." "Remember, honey?" " Mom." " Sorry." "Love you, sweetheart." "Well... that was muy awkward." "Well... this is sketch." " Super sketch." "These kids think we lied about being spies." "What are you typing?" "I'm responding to haters on my feed." "Take that, Archfire22!" "You've just been schooled." "Wait." "Too much." "Now I feel bad." " JK, Archfire22!" "Winky ghost, happy cat." " Having haters is hard." "Oh, no, you didn't, Beboop16!" "Frowny face, angry robot!" "Hey, McKeyla." "You look like an average high school student." " And I mean that in a good way." " Thanks." "Oh, hey, Randy." "How's your hamster Leonardo?" "He's buried in my backyard." "Oh, hey, Taylor." "Congrats on giving up the night light." "Do you know these kids?" "Oh, yeah." "Like the back of my hand." "I sit up all night memorizing each student's face and personal background." "I thought it'd help me blend in." "You were wrong!" "It makes you appear kind of loca." "McKeyla, relax." "You'll be fine, mija." "Better than fine." "In fact, you should run for class president." "You know the rules." "Quail said no spying at school..." "which includes talking notebooks." "Right." "Fine, be that way." "But I'm here if you need me." "Look, I'm just not used to this "being a regular civilian" thing." "I never spent much time in any one place." "Each assignment took us to a new town." "Well, now you're one of us." "Oh, hey, Shelly." " Good luck with the LASIK." "Okay, now you're acting weird again." "Wow, can't believe tech fair's here already." "This year it's mine." "What's doing, camouflage?" "Justin, it's Camryn Coyle." "For the millionth time." "Signing up for the tech fair, I see." "I'm surprised you're up for it after last year's embarrassing defeat." "The only thing embarrassing was losing to a guy whose best friend is a mirror." "Whoa, hold up there, chamomile." " Don't be such a sore loser." "Why don't you save yourself the pain of failing?" "I know how sensitive you can be." "Sensitive." "Justin, this year my girls and I have something epic in store." "Oh, really?" "You and your little "spy club"?" "As a matter of fact, we're... building our own car." "And it runs on... water!" "Please." "Not only that, its top speed will kick your" "Hey, how about we just keep the rest a surprise?" "The guy's such a jerk!" "Cam signed us up for the tech fair." "Apparently we're building a water-powered car." "Okay, well, I'm glad you chose something easy." "We shouldn't be underestimated." "We're not just bedazzled." "We're bedazzling!" "Hey, girls!" "Can you try and kick the ball back?" "You can do it." "Use all your big-girl muscles." "I got this." "I worked a case in Brazil." "I played a lot of football." "Yes!" "Buh-bye!" "Hi." "Hello." "Uh..." "I saw you outside." "Uh, just before, um..." "I'm Kyle, uh..." "I..." "I just wanted to say, um... yeah, really nice kick out there." "Um..." "Uh, oh, yeah." "A spinning ball deflects the air rushing by it, and the air responds by deflecting the ball through the curve." "It's called the Magnus effect." "The tree was 22 feet from Justin, so traveling at 50 miles per hour, he only had 0.3 seconds to respond." "Oh, yeah." "Well, uh..." "I will see you, um..." "later." "Bye." "Flawlessly handled, McKeyla." "Come on, A.D.I.S.N. Be honest." "Hey, you asked." "Basic spy training is not easy." "But helping you fit in?" "That will be our assignment más difícil." "I know we can do it this time!" "Two minutes." "There's got to be a way out of here." "There is." "So... how do we get up there?" "Adri, do you still have your nail polish?" "Mmm-hmm." "Metallic Rose or Ruby Sunset?" "I carry extra in case of emergency." "This is clearly an emergency." "The nitrocellulose polymers in the polish will act as a binding agent." "Or we could just use my super glue." "Why didn't you start with that?" "One minute." "What if the window is sealed?" "Guess we'll find out." "Ten seconds." "It was sealed." "Training session failure." "I know we can figure this out." "This place can't be completely sealed." "We'd run out of air, right?" "Wait, if air is coming in..." "It has to be going out." "Bry, I need to borrow your necklace." "McKeyla, I need a rusted leg off that metal chair, ahora." "Now we need something that we could use to burn, to make some smoke." "Burn my socks." "Although, fair warning, we may regret it." "One minute." "When aluminum reacts with rust, it creates thermite, which burns at over 2,000 degrees centigrade." "Mira... the smoke trail is venting through that seam in the wall." "Perfecto." "See?" "Let's get out of here." " Nice job, guys." " Nailed it." "♪ We did it We escaped ♪" "♪ Go us ♪" "While you're enjoying my abuela's multi-berry muffin, feel free to sample Café Attoms' latest specialty." "If you loved Adri's Pink Drink, and who didn't, you'll love my Brain Frizz." "The perfect blend of kale, ginger, natural sugar and CO2." "Excuse me, are you talking about Brain Frizz," "Café Attoms' all-natural beverage that just may revolutionize the coffee industry as we know it?" "And totally caffeine free." "Not a drop." "But don't go by me." "Trust this culinary chemist." "She knows her stuff." "Me?" "This is my speed, always." "Though, today, I'm more charged than usual." "Celebrating, actually." "Finally got out of my room." "Was tired of staring at four walls." "Had to escape, if you catch my drift?" "Hmm?" "Which I'm guessing you won't, which is a good thing." "I think I'll pass." "Aw." "No offense, Bryden, but I think I may go with Cam next time." "Yeah, I wouldn't blame ya." "I really thought Brain Frizz was going to be Café Attoms' specialty drink." "It's hard for a family business like ours to compete with those Mocha Frappa Latte places." "I hear ya." "I saw the line outside of Mocha Frappa Latte this morning." "Wow, your new sound invention is amazing." "I can even hear them swallowing." "I know." "I'm calling it the Stronger Parabolic Reflector" "That Creates a Better Low Frequency Response Catcher." "Or..." "Sound Catcher 2.0?" "That also works." "Hear that?" " Quick." " Hide these." "Just as I suspected." "They're plotting to steal sugar packets!" "Okay, we've got to get a real assignment." "Yeah, I'm beginning to worry about you two." "Breaking news at the Maywood Glen jail." "Today marks the first day of freedom after ten years behind bars for Carson Lazarus, former top agent of the crime organization HAVOC, and one of this country's most notorious criminals." "Mr. Lazarus, how does it feel to finally be a free man?" "Uh, hello!" "I can tell you what it's like to be a free woman." "This man is my Uber driver." "I'm Carson Lazarus!" "What?" "A woman can't be a criminal mastermind?" "I shattered the evil genius glass ceiling years ago and I'm proud!" "Not that I'm still evil." "Ten years of sitting in a cell, a gal has a lot of time to reflect." "I've changed, seen the error of my ways." "I took up knitting to help me deal with my anger issues." "So I've decided to start a new life in the city of Maywood Glen." "And I can assure you from here on out," "Carson Lazarus is just another ordinary upstanding citizen." "A super criminal moving into Maywood Glen?" "That's unsettling." "What's unsettling is her choice of wardrobe." "My eyes watered." "Wonder if the Quail knows Lazarus." "She knows her." "She's the one who put her away." "We should get back to the lab." "Abuelita, we're leaving!" "Where are you going?" "Library!" "Yoga!" "Puppy party!" "It's the first thing that came to my mind..." "Not the worst idea." "W.D.L.A.P.P?" "I'm there." "Who doesn't love a puppy party?" "Carson Lazarus wasn't always an evil criminal, girls." "In fact, when we weren't much older than you, she and I were cadets in advanced training together at NOV-Eight." "Friends, actually." "No way." "You were BFFs?" "We were close." "And tops in our class." "Mostly because we pushed each other to be the best." "Until Lazarus snapped during a group wilderness training exercise." "Out for herself, she stole our food and water rations." "If it had been real, our unit wouldn't have survived." "I can relate." "My family went camping and I snapped after 12 hours off the grid." "Lazarus was terminated from NOV-Eight." "Humiliated, she disappeared." "Later, we discovered that she'd joined HAVOC, which, at the time, was nothing but a small organization of petty criminals." "Lazarus helped build HAVOC into the worldwide threat it is today." "Until, McKeyla says, you put her away." "For stealing industrial secrets." "Which means she could hold a grudge and you could be in danger." "Activate us." "We'll keep an eye on this Lazarus." "Yeah, we can do that!" "We can do this." "McKeyla, Lazarus's clean prison record supports her claim she's been reformed." "In the meantime, NOV-Eight has eyes on her." "For now, my order stands." "You're all to remain inactive." "Are we clear?" "Yes, Mrs. Quail." "Fine." "You know, we could do a little investigating of Lazarus on the DL." "What's the worst that could happen if the Quail finds out?" "She'll ground us?" " You're right, not funny." " Hey, guys." "Um, just putting this out there." "I'm looking for a study partner for our Alexander Graham Bell project for history class." "I mean, just in case you guys were looking for an expert." "Like, did you know that Bell, he invented more than just the telephone?" "Like, in 1908, he made this big kite, and it was big enough to hold, like, a whole person." "1907." "Oh, well..." "I guess I'm looking for the expert then." "But, I mean, you two are partnered up, so..." "Um, actually, I'm with Randy here." "Right, study buddy?" "Absolutely." "Um, but..." "McKeyla's looking." "Right, M?" "Oh, uh... yeah, sure!" "Study buddies!" "Great." "Kyle Lewis, son of Helen and Dr. Jim Lewis." "Uh... you know my parents' names?" "Uh..." "Yeah." "I mean, you just told me." "I did?" "Mmm-hmm." "Oh... okay." "Uh..." "later." "You have got to stop researching classmates." " It's supes weird." "But still social progress." " Victory selfie!" " And sharing with you." "Weird." "It's not sending." " Probably just bad reception." "This is bizarro." "All my texts are disappearing." "All my cupcake dream board dos are now don'ts." "I invited you guys last night." "I texted you, like, five times." "One level from winning Duty Calls and the game deletes itself?" "Three weeks of my life gone!" "I finished the assignment!" "I'm telling you, my computer ate my homework!" "Katie, I swear I didn't change my relationship status to "anything but Katie." That's not even a choice." "What's going on?" "Ah, that ring takes me back to the good old days." "Before texting, and Skyping and Snapchat." "Not that any of you would understand without one of those irritating emoji faces." "Who is this guy?" "I'm sure you're asking yourselves, "Who is this guy?"" " Whoa." " Hashtag, freaky." "Call me Retro." "And I'm in control now." "Oh, I get it." "Retro!" "He's throwing us back... back... back in time." "Whoa, just got dizzy." "My hard drive is spinning." "I sense panic is setting in." "Good." "Most of you have had your heads buried in those pieces of plastic you call technology for so long, this is the first time you're actually looking at each other." "Well, sit back and don't relax." "I'm about to drag you all back to a simpler time." "Sad face!" "Join me." "Oh, wait, you don't have a choice." "I'm about to drag you all back to a simpler time." "Sad face!" "Join me." "Oh, wait, you don't have a choice." "I don't get it." "We stopped Black Star's plan to hack the system." "Did we miss something?" "Or someone?" "Wait, maybe Carson Lazarus' release isn't a coincidence." " Could she be Retro?" " This isn't her MO." "She's never been one to deliver a political statement." "Carson Lazarus cares about one thing..." "Carson Lazarus." "Gotta give Retro some cred." "He's using technology to shut down technology." "That's sick!" "But sick." "The man's pure evil." "Bry, can you lay down a grid over Retro's image?" "I can try, but things are glitching like crazy." "You won't have that problem here." "NOV-Eight's computer system is among the most secure in the world." " We can't be affected." "Hey, you know, I'm feeling better." "If Bryden can't" "Well, Bryden can." "Guys, this isn't a competition." "Yeah." "Relax, notebook." "Says Miss Has-To-Use-Her-Fingers." "Can you push in 20%?" "Another 30% on the TV in the back?" "There." "Freeze it." "Can you clean up the image?" ""Property of MGA."" "Maywood Glen Academy." "No way!" "Uh, I'll go with "every way."" "Retro is someone from our school?"
