00:21Yes, it seems odd that I'm secretly burying something in a random field.
00:24All right, enough power!
00:34Here comes a rewind.
00:40Excitement overdrive, last game of the season, win and we get promoted.
00:44Hear me, we shall be winners!
00:46Out of the way, Chomps!
00:49You just got called Chomps by a guy with a metal detector!
00:52This is state-of-the-art, with precise positioning to locate buried treasures from the past.
00:57Shut up before anyone hears you!
00:59How dare you call us Chomps!
01:02Yeah, we're one game away from promotion!
01:04Slay!
01:05Bonafide, Hoofers!
01:07So no-one will ever call us Chomps ever again!
01:09Hey, Chomps!
01:10I suppose you heard we won our lead yesterday.
01:13So?
01:14We're gonna win ours too!
01:16Welcome to Aoife's Fantasyland.
01:19You won't win.
01:21Aha!
01:23Well, Aoife's Fantasyland also has a pool, and a multiplex, and the Vibers are gonna get promoted!
01:29Wait, that's Aoife's Realityland!
01:31You know what I mean.
01:33We will win!
01:35I find a simple grinning approach the most methodical.
01:39Oh, can he even hear himself?
01:41Cringe.
01:42And he has headphone hair.
01:43Not long before I make a find that will put me in the history books.
01:47You said we get rich doing this.
01:50Let's bail.
01:50For lo, he did scour the fields of Midvale.
01:54And many treasures did he unearth to great acclaim.
01:58And they did call him Connor.
02:04Finder of...
02:11Rusty Screws.
02:16OK.
02:17We need to be the chasers.
02:19Jim, what you got?
02:21Right.
02:22I've been watching vids on the chasers, doing vital research.
02:25Well done.
02:25They're unbeatable.
02:26Great.
02:27So positive.
02:28I am positive.
02:30That we'll lose.
02:31You're our coach.
02:32You must have some kind of strategy.
02:34I do.
02:42We say we can't play because we got caught up in a bank heist.
02:52We don't need this.
02:54We can win.
02:55We just need to train hard and stay focused.
02:58Well then someone better not get distracted or annoyed.
03:02OK.
03:07I promise literally nothing will make me distracted or annoyed.
03:13So distracted and annoyed.
03:15And needs to match prep and can't concentrate with the stench.
03:20This is history.
03:21Breathe in the aroma of bygone kings and queens.
03:24What?
03:25And bygone sheep and cow poo.
03:27And half a toilet seat.
03:30Bit of persistence.
03:32And anti-back.
03:34I'm sure Connor could find the other half.
03:37He could end up being a local hero.
03:40Ah, here it is.
03:42So good the vipers have we got promoted.
03:44The vipers.
03:45Zero chance.
03:46I am on my best behaviour.
03:48I will not rise to the bait.
03:52Delusional losers.
03:54Delusers.
03:59We'll see who the real deluser is.
04:03Oh, what's going to be Connor's next find?
04:05Huh?
04:08An 100% authentic rare Roman coin.
04:14Made in China.
04:26Yeah, I probably should be training with the vipers.
04:28But I snuck out for a sec to honour our local hero.
04:36What are you doing, chumpy?
04:38Just a jog before my must-win match.
04:41Had a lovely chat with a little old lady who was walking her dog.
04:45She said something about a Roman settlement here.
04:49And then...
04:50Wait, stop.
04:51Tell me more.
04:53She had a Bichon freeze?
04:55No, I mean, I've never heard there was a Roman settlement in Midvale.
04:58She said it was here.
05:01Yeah.
05:03But history was never your strongest subject.
05:06Says the person who thought Plato invented modelling clay.
05:10You'll never find anything.
05:14Stand aside, sad sack.
05:19Excellent. That's three more training sessions we've found.
05:22If we keep this up, vipers, promotion.
05:25Tick!
05:25You've actually managed to stay focused.
05:28Are you working?
05:29Trust me.
05:31This match, that's all I've been thinking about.
05:36Behold, I have hit the jackpot.
05:43Not the reaction I was expecting.
05:45Tell us about your amazing find.
05:48Said nobody ever.
05:51Yeah, detecting is lame.
05:53This could be worth millions.
05:56And also, well interesting, so, um...
05:59How do we get the cash?
06:01We?
06:02Exactly.
06:03All those hours searching, now we have this amazing find.
06:06Oh, wow.
06:08You found an 100% authentic coin.
06:11You should tell Holt.
06:12You think?
06:13Yeah.
06:14He'll probably have a big hero's reception.
06:17Just for you.
06:18And the whole school will be there worshipping you all.
06:22We might even get a day off!
06:25What? That is so funny.
06:27The coin. It's legit fake.
06:30How do you know?
06:31I planted it.
06:32Best prank ever!
06:36This is exactly the kind of distraction we warned you about.
06:39It's just a joke.
06:40Honestly, what's the worst that could happen?
06:45It won't dig itself!
06:48Buffoons!
06:49I'm surrounded by buffoons!
06:55I need a wet wipe!
06:56Ifa, this is not good.
07:00It won't affect our match prep.
07:03Now, let's get our run in.
07:05You!
07:06Have those children removed and or tased?
07:10This is a restricted area!
07:14I mean, a little tasing will be fine.
07:17Get a move on!
07:19Tasing children is not fine.
07:22Chill!
07:23The dig will be outside!
07:25I'll see you never dig again!
07:27It's not like they'll be taking over the school!
07:31Move along!
07:33History has claimed this domain!
07:35Just a swift name and all your culture of walls!
07:39You heard the man!
07:40He's an archaeologist!
07:41Damn it!
07:41Clear the area!
07:43Excellent marshalling!
07:44A pleasure.
07:45Dr. Ford, I presume.
07:46I'm Mr. Holt, headmaster of Midvale.
07:48Midvale?
07:49The school we're standing in.
07:50This is a school.
07:52Some sort of detention centre!
07:56Very nice of you to say.
07:58Big fan, by the way.
07:59Your work at Rutland was seminal.
08:02Well, a team effort.
08:03Yes, I did a lot of heavy lifting.
08:06I've just ordered rather an expensive Roman coin collection myself, awaiting delivery.
08:12Magnificous!
08:13Let me know what it gets, sir.
08:14I'll sign it.
08:15No charge.
08:16Gosh!
08:17Thanks!
08:17I've always wanted to do what you do.
08:19So important.
08:20Yeah.
08:20But not for the faint-hearted.
08:24The heat.
08:25The dust.
08:27The snakes.
08:29Airport security kills.
08:32Joking!
08:33We're always trouble, premium.
08:37Hilarious Maximus.
08:39That is I.
08:41The eminent Dr. Ford, of all people.
08:44It says here he used messages from his dreams to make his discoveries.
08:47A maverick that gets things done his way.
08:51Sounds familiar?
08:53Look, if we want to get a cut of the cashola, we need to look the power.
09:02And all this happened because of my mind.
09:03Because of my find?
09:04What? Your find?
09:06Well, you've got a big dig to get to, and I've got these inmates to deal with.
09:11Hard labour always works back in the day.
09:13But the public flogging is always good to fall back on.
09:16Glorious times.
09:18Shoo!
09:20Shoo!
09:23I found that coin.
09:25Yes.
09:25On school premises.
09:27Therefore, legally, I get credit for it.
09:29Well, we've got hats.
09:31Which I should be confiscating.
09:40I know.
09:40Yeah.
09:41I know.
09:42But training for our match is way more important.
09:45Yeah.
09:45Period.
09:46I'll fix it after.
09:48Everything will be OK.
09:53Oh no
10:00Can't close the gym
10:01Of course I can
10:03It's the ideal spot for work quarters
10:06Perfect and
10:07Work? There's a bed over there
10:10We have a must win match coming up
10:13Whose idea was the bed?
10:16Brilliant
10:17That's mine
10:20I may have drooled slightly
10:23Just turn the pillow over
10:25So we have to miss
10:27A vital training session
10:29Just so you can have a nap
10:30Not a nap
10:33In deep meditation
10:35I traverse oceans of time
10:38And I embrace
10:39The shadows of the past
10:40Er, what?
10:43He dreams of his past lives
10:44And makes his discoveries
10:45Yes, I dreamt of Midas
10:48Availous
10:49In all its glory
10:51What?
10:53And then I saw it now
10:56Right
10:56As discussed
10:58The gym is closed
11:00Now, XI
11:01You
11:03Get me a new pillow
11:08Wait
11:08So now we have nowhere to train for our most important match of the season
11:12Aoife, you need to fess up
11:15Okay, I'll do it now
11:19Mike's so touchy
11:20A full scale dig at my school
11:23Marvellous
11:2412-year-old Mr Holt
11:25Would be elated
11:26What about you?
11:28Hmm
11:2812-year-old Jimmy would be outside playing footy on the pitches if they weren't closed
11:33Right, on up
11:34Suffer a teeny detention
11:36Win the match
11:37And then hopefully everyone will stop shouting at me
11:41If anyone took this joy from me now
11:43There would be actual hell to pay
11:46Fiery, grizzly hell
11:48I would take everything they love away from them
11:51And then just laugh
11:52Evilly
11:55So, new plan
11:56Say nothing
11:57And make a new new plan
12:01Okay, if I come clean
12:03Holt will take away everything I love
12:04Kittens
12:05Obviously
12:05But mostly basketball
12:07And then we won't get promoted
12:08So, new new plan
12:09Keep quiet
12:10And train wherever
12:11Whenever we can
12:12Er, slight health and safety issue
12:14Training near a dig site
12:15Duh
12:16Everywhere else is closed
12:17We'll just have to be super careful
12:19Ah!
12:20Esper
12:23And this is the brush I used at Rutland
12:28Sable-bristled
12:30Can I hold it?
12:31No
12:31Can't be touched by human hands
12:34Except for mine
12:35Yes, no, I knew that
12:36Look at Holt
12:38That's my hat
12:39And Ford is so full of himself
12:42I can show you this humdinger
12:46Second century
12:47Found it in Newstead
12:49Are you even allowed to have that?
12:51I can do whatever I want on my digs
12:54Including
12:56Choosing my own team
12:58Really?
12:59Do you think you could get me in?
13:00I've got my own travel
13:01Perhaps
13:02It could get rough
13:04Six straight months in the Bahamas
13:07I've got some holidays saved
13:09Ooh
13:10Keep digging
13:12I say
13:13We go over there
13:14Take the hat
13:15And make
13:15Holt talk
13:16No, it's too heavy handed
13:18We just have to
13:19Appeal to his conscience
13:22Holt's my uncle
13:23I know he doesn't have a conscience
13:25He once claimed
13:26He made Christmas dinner
13:27Including trifle
13:28For our whole family
13:29This is chocolate, Mrs Reynolds
13:31I specifically asked for sherry trifle
13:34Turns out
13:35It was made by the old lady next door
13:37Right, we need to start a campaign
13:40Truth detectors
13:41For the truth
13:44So apparently
13:45Training next to heavy machinery
13:46Is quite dangerous
13:48Who knew?
13:49Solution
13:49We train here instead
13:51Hardly anyone uses it, so
13:55Oh, sorry
13:57The court's taken
13:58Bye
13:59You don't need both baskets
14:01Actually
14:02We do
14:03For our jackets
14:04There's only one way to fix it
14:06Match
14:07Win against dibs
14:08Yeah
14:09Losers back off
14:12But you already are losers
14:16You won't be saying that
14:17When we beat the chasers
14:18And get promoted
14:19Well, I will
14:20Because you won't
14:21You're only saying that
14:22Because you don't want to play with us
14:23Because, you know
14:24We're better than you
14:24Fine
14:25Let's settle this now
14:35Yes
14:42That over
15:03Justice for Connor
15:04That's me, by the way
15:06Yeah
15:06Give him justice
15:08You really think
15:09All this is gonna work
15:11Um
15:11Seemed to have forgotten
15:13That I was the one
15:13That found that coin
15:14In the first place
15:15There is no way
15:16Holt will get full past me
15:17Without me noticing
15:18Let me take you inside
15:19For some lunch
15:20Not with my eagle eyes
15:28So much for your eagle eye
15:30And it appears
15:31I may have underestimated
15:32Holt's stealth tactics
15:33So we were all these geeks
15:35So no payday
15:36Told you
15:37May as well give up
15:38At least I can fall back
15:40On my modelling career
15:42No
15:43We still have one more card to play
15:46We call in the one
15:47Who can make even Nero
15:48Quiver in fear
15:49Blackjack
15:50Made them myself
15:51No thanks
15:52More of a cookie man
15:57But if you made them
16:21They're really good
16:23Annoyingly
16:24So are we
16:25So let's stop toying with the cobras
16:27And just smash them
16:29And then we can focus on beating the chasers
16:31Yeah
16:32Remember why we're here?
16:34Because you planted a fake coin
16:36Yes
16:37But
16:38No
16:38Promotion
16:39Let's win this
16:55Time out
16:57Time out
16:58Yes come on
17:01Snaking our way back in front
17:02Go vipers
17:05So now I'm totally made up for my Roman coin prank
17:09You still shut down the gym
17:11Yeah
17:12But look at us now
17:13Result
17:14Woo
17:20Maybe we can keep this between us
17:25It's a fake
17:27Saw ya
17:28Thanks Jessica
17:29I booked a ticket to the Bahamas
17:32I bought a floral print shirt
17:34You can still pull it off
17:36Some fake tan and it's a sleigh
17:38I dug up half the field
17:40All because of Aoife's prank
17:43All right
17:44Well I made for everything
17:45You should make an example of her
17:47Cancel their last match
17:48And tell everyone
17:49No
17:54Mention this to anyone
17:55And I will hunt you down
17:58I have to cancel Auntie's Roadshow
17:59I was finally going to meet Fiona Bruce
18:01Play the game if you want
18:02But just get a nice sight
18:08Calm
18:09Remain calm
18:10Just go inside
18:12And think of a solution
18:13Any second now
18:15Take a deep breath
18:17And
18:21Help me
18:22Please
18:25Anything
18:30Mr. Halt
18:31What
18:33Now
18:33Connor found that coin
18:35And I insist
18:37He gets recognition for it
18:39Yes
18:39Yes that's true
18:41Connor was the one who found it
18:43He was completely responsible for all of this
18:47Yes
18:47Yes
18:48Yes
18:49I will give you full credit for everything
18:57And that's how it's done
19:01Back in the night
19:04Yes
19:06Thank you
19:10For the first time in my life
19:14I'm riding high
19:15Dizzying
19:17This is amazing
19:17After years of not manifesting
19:20We're rich
19:23What's going on
19:24Mum got Halt to admit the whole dig was down to me
19:29Stop salad
19:30This calls for something deep fried
19:32Let's get a takeaway
19:33And you should book that holiday
19:35I quite fancy a sis
19:37Slimama
19:37Yes
19:38I mean si
19:39Ciao Italia
19:43Maybe we should wait a bit and stop
19:45With the silly accent
19:47Why wait signorina
19:48After dinner I am a calling the national paper
19:52Okay round up
19:53First the vibes were like
19:55Big match coming up
19:56We're one game away from promotion
19:58No distractions
19:59100% authentic rare Roman coin
20:03But then my prank got a smidge out of hand
20:05This is a restricted area
20:08Unruined spot for everyone
20:10Laugh
20:11Eva
20:11Including the vipers
20:13We have no way to train for our most important match of the season
20:16Oh no
20:17And Jessica blabbed
20:18It's a fake
20:19And now Halt blames Conor
20:21Conor was the one who found it
20:22Mum got Halt to admit the whole dig was down to me
20:25So mum's like
20:25Ciao Italia
20:26Quite fancy a sisley mama
20:28If I play the match and say nothing
20:30Then Conor gets the blame
20:32So I feel mortal bad
20:35So that's why I'm going to do this
20:38I have something to tell you
20:45So you planted a fake coin
20:48I'm really sorry
20:49Wait
20:50So Halt knew this
20:52And is going to let Conor take the blame
20:56Right
20:58The nerve
20:59Letting my son take the blame for your mistake
21:03Swanning around in your little history bubble
21:06Well it's about to burst mister
21:09Let him have it
21:11Yes queen
21:13Now
21:15You better sort this
21:16Fine
21:17I'll go and admit to everything
21:19But I'm taking Aoife down with me
21:20So you can kiss goodbye to basketball
21:23Disaster
21:23Come on Bran
21:24Think
21:26We just need to get the entire dig away from the school
21:28Without Dr Ford finding out the truth
21:31Simples
21:32Ooh amazing idea
21:34How
21:35Delivery for Mr Halt
21:38Ah
21:39My Roman coins
21:41Take a look
21:42Now these are authentic
21:44I know
21:45We should just plant those coins in a different field
21:47To lure them away
21:48Maybe
21:49If I pull this off
21:50He might actually let me play in the game
21:52That is the most ridiculous
21:55Outlandish plan I have ever
21:56If you pull this off
21:57I'll let you play the match
22:10And that brings us back here
22:12See
22:13I've told you this would be easy
22:15You still have to get Ford to leave the school and move the dig here
22:18Before we can play the match
22:19Yeah
22:20The nightmare's not over
22:21Nightmare
22:23That's it
22:25I know exactly what to do
22:32Any fines yet?
22:34Just half a toilet seat sir
22:38Right
22:39Time to go to work
22:51What now
22:53Servant
22:58Emperor Caligula
23:00You mean clangular
23:01She means Caligula
23:02Whatevs
23:03You may speak
23:06There are special coins that are worth a lot of cash
23:10That you told us to hide from those uh
23:13Bad guys
23:20Well
23:21We didn't bury those very valuable coins in the field outside of school
23:26We actually went way over the other side of town
23:30Instead
23:33So not in Midas Phelous
23:36No
23:37Near the super save
23:39Oh
23:40I mean the Roman marketplace
23:45Now where are my snacks
23:54You're digging in the wrong place
24:02Right
24:03Fire up the diggers
24:05We're moving
24:08Yes
24:09Yes
24:14I've printed off my resume
24:17And I bought you a hip flask
24:19I'll call you
24:21Ready my chariot
24:23But you haven't got my number
24:32They're going so
24:33We can play
24:34As long as I don't have to spend another picosecond in your company
24:37Do what you like
24:41Okay so I know we've not trained much
24:43But we humbled the cobras
24:45And we moved the dig
24:46So we're getting promoted
24:47And nobody's standing in our way
24:58Foul
24:58This ref literally hates us
25:0120 bucks
25:032 caps out of time
25:07Yeah
25:14Foul
25:15Push foul
25:16No more banter
25:17We need to throw it out where you are
25:19Yeah
25:20Do that
25:21Do that
25:23Do that
25:24Do that
25:25Do that
25:25Do that
25:25Do that
25:26Do that
25:26Do that
25:29Do that
25:31Foul
25:31Vipers
25:32Touch on
25:33What
25:34Come on down
25:36Time out
25:44We'd be winning if it wasn't for him
25:46The fact someone forgot to pack our boots doesn't help
25:51Yeah
25:53Sorry
25:53But we are the better team
25:56We're seconds away from a promotion
25:58We need a two pointer
25:59I'll make the shot
26:00Trust me
26:01Go Vipers
26:04Yeah
26:24No basket
26:25What?
26:27Time was up
26:28Basket doesn't count
26:29But it was just before the buzzer
26:31Yeah
26:32Score's good
26:34Final decision
26:45This is so not fair
26:46We have to say something
26:48What's the point?
26:50Yeah
26:50It's done
26:50The ref had it in for us
26:52It's all over
26:53Forget it
26:54I told you you could trust me
26:56This is definitely not Aoife's fantasy land
26:59This sucks
27:00Listen
27:02Yeah
27:03They lost
27:04Job done
