## Episodes Transcripts and Timings

It's the day of the presidential head-to-head, Blake versus Echo.

0:00:04 0:00:08
Evil versus...eviler. How has this happened?

0:00:08 0:00:12
Echo cannot be allowed anywhere near that presidency.

0:00:12 0:00:15
She can't be trusted. I'm going to go in there, and I'm going to...

0:00:15 0:00:18
-Hey! None of that.

-Oh, hey guys. What are you doing?

0:00:18 0:00:20
-This is an intervention.

-A what?

-We can't let you go in there.

-What?

0:00:20 0:00:23
-Why not?

-Look, we all know what's going to happen here.

0:00:23 0:00:25
You're going to walk through those doors, storm on that stage,

0:00:25 0:00:28
get all riled up, probably fall over,

0:00:28 0:00:30
-and essentially make a massive doughnut out of yourself.

-Hey!

0:00:30 0:00:32
OK, fine, I promise I won't do anything.

0:00:32 0:00:35
And anyway, I won't have to. You've seen Echo's public speaking.

0:00:35 0:00:37
She'll ruin her own chances as soon as she opens her mouth!

0:00:37 0:00:40
-I kind of feel a bit sorry for her.

-Well, don't.

0:00:40 0:00:42
I wouldn't trust her as far as I could throw her.

0:00:42 0:00:44
Er, do not throw anything.

0:00:44 0:00:45
I can't make those kinds of promises.

0:00:45 0:00:47
Here we go.

0:00:49 0:00:50
I often wonder what people think when they hear the name Blake.

0:00:50 0:00:55
-Does he really want us to answer that?

-Shh!

0:00:55 0:00:57
And I'm just one guy, but a guy with a vision.

0:00:57 0:01:01
And lush hair.

0:01:01 0:01:03
What? He's a total breadstick, but I can still like his hair.

0:01:03 0:01:05
Let's make Drew Fletcher Academy awesome again.

0:01:05 0:01:08
Not for me, but for us.

0:01:08 0:01:10
I pledge to you that a vote for Blake means cheaper chips

0:01:10 0:01:14
and abolition of the salad bar.

0:01:14 0:01:16
An outright ban on Friday homework.

0:01:16 0:01:18
Non-uniform day once a week.

0:01:18 0:01:21
Free helicopter rides to prom.

0:01:21 0:01:23
And finally, increased funding for school trips.

0:01:23 0:01:27
Forget Kew Garden - I'm talking sun, sea and sand!

0:01:27 0:01:32
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:01:32 0:01:34
I would not want to be Echo right now. She's going to crash and burn.

0:01:37 0:01:40
-Does everyone actually believe Blake?

-People are so stupid.

0:01:40 0:01:42
Wait, is that a marshmallow?

0:01:42 0:01:45
Excuse me...?

0:01:45 0:01:47
Hi, hello.

0:01:47 0:01:50

0:03:40 0:03:43
What? It's kind of catchy.

0:03:43 0:03:45

0:03:55 0:03:59
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:03:59 0:04:02
-CROWD:

-Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo!

0:04:02 0:04:06
OMD, they love her!

0:04:06 0:04:10
If music luver's comment is anything to go by,

0:04:10 0:04:12
Echo might actually win this thing.

0:04:12 0:04:15
Look at the polls!

0:04:15 0:04:16
She has to be stopped, but the only person that can stop her is...

0:04:16 0:04:20
..Blake.

0:04:20 0:04:22
Oh, no. I have to help BLAKE become president.

0:04:22 0:04:26
Emo's up in the polls. We need more cupcakes...

0:04:26 0:04:29
..and possibly a song.

0:04:29 0:04:31
-Hi.

-Blake's busy right now. Move along.

0:04:33 0:04:35
Stand down, Viktor. It's OK.

0:04:35 0:04:37
What can I do for you, Billie-boo?

0:04:37 0:04:39
OK, firstly, eww, never call me that again, and secondly...

0:04:39 0:04:42
I can't believe I'm saying this, but...

0:04:42 0:04:45
..I want to help you.

0:04:45 0:04:46
I'm sorry, you want to help me? How, exactly?

0:04:46 0:04:50
I want to help you win the election.

0:04:50 0:04:53
Ha! Yeah! Infiltrating enemy lines.

0:04:53 0:04:57
-Nice try.

-Trust me, it's as big a surprise to me as it is to you.

0:04:57 0:05:00
But I don't have a choice. Echo can't win. She's bad news.

0:05:00 0:05:03
I'm sure that she's behind everything.

0:05:03 0:05:05
Trashing Ms Malik's office, the Alessandro attacks - everything.

0:05:05 0:05:08
I... We can't let her become president.

0:05:08 0:05:11
-Interesting.

-So...?

0:05:11 0:05:14
So, you'll do what I ask when I ask, no questions asked.

0:05:14 0:05:20
Yeah, I suppose.

0:05:20 0:05:21
Welcome to Team Blake.

0:05:21 0:05:23
This is what it feels like to be a winner.

0:05:23 0:05:26
Vote Blake! Vote Blake for president.

0:05:26 0:05:28
More enthusiasm, Billie. We're after hearts and minds, here.

0:05:28 0:05:33
Vote, Blake...

0:05:33 0:05:34
-Billie, is that you?

-No.

0:05:34 0:05:36
FRENCH ACCENT: No, my name is Genevieve DeMango,

0:05:36 0:05:39
I'm an exchange student...

0:05:39 0:05:40
-OK, yes, it's me, but I can explain.

-You're helping Blake?

0:05:40 0:05:43
I don't understand. You were against his campaign since day one.

0:05:43 0:05:46
And what about how he treated me? Why are you doing this?

0:05:46 0:05:49
I know that it looks weird, but it's for the greater good.

0:05:49 0:05:51
You have to believe me, Amani. We'll look back on this and you'll see.

0:05:51 0:05:54
-I suppose you think this is funny?

-Don't start, Echo.

0:05:54 0:05:57
-I'm on to you, OK?

-On to what?

0:05:57 0:05:59
This is a new low, Billie, even for you.

0:05:59 0:06:01
Save it, sister. I asked you nicely to stand down and let me run again.

0:06:01 0:06:04
"Vote Echo, the singing saddo." Is that what you think?

0:06:04 0:06:08
OMD... This wasn't me.

0:06:08 0:06:10
I mean, I do think you'd be a nightmare president,

0:06:10 0:06:12
but I'd say it nicely. These were normal Vote Blake leaflets

0:06:12 0:06:14
-when they started.

-Yeah, right.

0:06:14 0:06:16
Do you know how hard it was for me to stand on that stage?

0:06:16 0:06:18
Ladies, ladies!

0:06:18 0:06:19
I hate to break up what I can only assume to be a Blake fan club,

0:06:19 0:06:22
but you're kind of crowding my chief canvasser.

0:06:22 0:06:25
-Can't take the competition, so your campaign does this?

-What is this?

0:06:25 0:06:29
Billie, was this you?

0:06:29 0:06:30
Wait, I knew it! This is a smear!

0:06:30 0:06:32
You're trying to make me and my campaign look bad.

0:06:32 0:06:34
I would never sink to these tactics. This is not what Blake stands for.

0:06:34 0:06:38
Blake, I swear, it wasn't me. You have to believe me.

0:06:38 0:06:40
-Someone set me up!

-Again, funny how you're always the innocent victim

0:06:40 0:06:43
-being set up.

-You've gone too far, Billie.

0:06:43 0:06:46
Amani, please. Echo, I swear!

0:06:46 0:06:48
Bubs...

0:06:48 0:06:50
I think I've made a terrible mistake.

0:06:56 0:06:59
Thanks, Snuffles. Your support means a lot.

0:06:59 0:07:02
Dark times, guys. Literally.

0:07:03 0:07:06
The League of Ordinary Heroes has disassembled.

0:07:07 0:07:11
Civil war is upon us.

0:07:11 0:07:14
Last night, Bubs was a no-show at our weekly Avatar screening.

0:07:14 0:07:18
And before that, Blake gave me the boot

0:07:18 0:07:20
after the whole smear-campaign flyer fiasco.

0:07:20 0:07:23
Billie, it is with great regret, but...

0:07:24 0:07:27
-You're fired.

-I do that bit.

0:07:27 0:07:29
And no-one's replying to my Dixi messages.

0:07:29 0:07:31
They're really properly mad at me.

0:07:31 0:07:35
And I can't even blame them.

0:07:35 0:07:38
I went off on my own and I messed it all up.

0:07:38 0:07:41
No wonder they all hate me.

0:07:41 0:07:43
You know it's bad when the only person still talking to you

0:07:45 0:07:47
is Selene. Yup, I'm finding it pretty hard to find the bright side.

0:07:47 0:07:51
Jane! I was using the dark for dramatic effect!

0:07:53 0:07:56
Tortured soul. Batman?

0:07:56 0:07:59
And does he mope around in cereal-stained PJs, too?

0:07:59 0:08:03
I've been framed. Again! Now everyone hates me.

0:08:04 0:08:09
Do you have any idea what that's like?

0:08:09 0:08:12
Of course you don't. Everyone loves you.

0:08:12 0:08:13
Who would even want to frame you?

0:08:13 0:08:15
That's what I've been trying to find out.

0:08:15 0:08:18
I thought it was Echo, but that was before those leaflets.

0:08:18 0:08:21
She'd never attack herself like that.

0:08:21 0:08:24
It's someone hiding behind this.

0:08:24 0:08:26
Oh, Alessandro. He's cute.

0:08:27 0:08:29
No, Jane, he's not real.

0:08:29 0:08:31
Well, he is, but that's not his name.

0:08:31 0:08:33
Now someone's hacked his fake account

0:08:33 0:08:35
and is using it to send evil messages...

0:08:35 0:08:37
-We've got to tell someone.

-What's the point?

0:08:44 0:08:47
I've ruined everything.

0:08:47 0:08:49
All my friends think I'm evil.

0:08:49 0:08:51
The Shredder's won.

0:08:51 0:08:53
I give up. I can't do this alone.

0:08:53 0:08:56
Wait - I've got the most perfect idea.

0:08:56 0:08:59
OK, so there's a girl from school who's in the year above me,

0:08:59 0:09:03
and she's like a total expert on the whole who-Dixi-dunit scenario.

0:09:03 0:09:07
Oh, she's online now.

0:09:07 0:09:09
-Mimi, hey!

-Hey, Janey, what's up?

0:09:09 0:09:12
There's someone in school who's going round trashing offices,

0:09:12 0:09:15
hacking people's accounts and framing my sister.

0:09:15 0:09:19
Harsh. Am I right, ladies? I know how that feels.

0:09:19 0:09:22
What do I do?

0:09:22 0:09:23
Well, the best advice I could give is retrace your steps.

0:09:23 0:09:28
Every Dixi mystery that I've been involved in -

0:09:28 0:09:31
like The Dixi Killer, The Curse Of Alice, The Nameless One -

0:09:31 0:09:35
there was always a teeny thing that we missed.

0:09:35 0:09:37
A little clue buried deep. So, go back to the beginning.

0:09:37 0:09:41
It's probably right there, just staring you in the face.

0:09:41 0:09:44
-Mimi?

-Coming. I've got to shoot, guys.

0:09:44 0:09:48
Addie's planning a surprise anniversary picnic...

0:09:48 0:09:50
SHE SQUEALS

0:09:50 0:09:52
..and I'm on selfie-stick duties.

0:09:52 0:09:54
-Good luck!

-Thank you. Bye, Meems.

0:09:54 0:09:57
Retrace my steps. OK.

0:09:57 0:10:00
I was on my way to meet Bubs and Amani when I got

0:10:01 0:10:04
the message from Dixi, just after I bumped into Selene, and...

0:10:04 0:10:08
OMD. Of course.

0:10:09 0:10:12
That's why she was there, all along -

0:10:12 0:10:14
to make sure I got her message.

0:10:14 0:10:16
Only you didn't expect Ms Malik to rock up so early, did you?

0:10:16 0:10:19
Who are you talking about?

0:10:19 0:10:21
The person who's been by my side right from the start.

0:10:21 0:10:24
Jane, this whole time,

0:10:24 0:10:26
it was Selene. Selene is The Shredder.

0:10:26 0:10:29
Hello, hello! It's Echo, Echo!

0:10:34 0:10:38
Funny.

0:10:38 0:10:39
Isn't it funny how some of your friends

0:10:39 0:10:42
beg you to run for president,

0:10:42 0:10:44
convince you against all the odds you are the only one

0:10:44 0:10:47
for the job, that the school depends on you, the people need you,

0:10:47 0:10:51
you are the only one to take on Blake the Snake?

0:10:51 0:10:53
And then campaign for the enemy.

0:10:53 0:10:56
Just like that, out of the blue, they join Team Blake.

0:10:56 0:10:59
Funny, isn't it? Hilarious! Ha-ha-ha!

0:10:59 0:11:03
But you know what's even funnier? I'm going to win.

0:11:03 0:11:06
Watch this space.
