All language subtitles for Alex Rider S03E05.720p.AMZN.WEBRip.x264-GalaxyTV.srt - eng(2)

Britain holds
billions of pounds of foreign debt.

You will abandon your claim to this debt.

You will give the money over.

Refuse, and Invisible Sword will strike.

They're bluffing.

You don't believe the threat is real?

They're dead. They're all dead.

I want options.

We gave you options, you overruled them.

I expect you'll want to inform the PM.

If you can't kill...

...you're weak.

What's that?

Pain relief. Inhalation gets it
into your bloodstream quicker.

Go back to London.

- Hang on, hang on.
- You changed your mind?

You do as you're told, or he dies.

I can't leave him.
They are gonna kill him.

- We're already on the plane.
- What did you do?

Like you said, we're the secret weapon,
so we're going to find Alex.

Kendo Shinai.
Five against one.

No mercy. Begin.

- Hey, hey, stop! Leave him alone.

No mercy.

You should have struck
when you had the chance.

- You all right?
- Get off me!

If you've got a problem, punish me.
Don't take it out on someone else.

You keep expecting things to be fair.
Scorpia needs you to be ready. Step up.

Or you're no use to us.

It's okay.

I told you. He's not one of us.

We're gonna agree to the demands.

We've seen what they can do.
Do you know how they did it?

Can you stop it happening again
to 100,000 people?

We have no choice.

The pathology results
could give us a lead.

You can't just shut us down now.

Do you trust Scorpia
to stick to their side of the bargain?

We know the risks.

The Cabinet's been in session all night.

This is the PM's decision.

Stand down your investigation.
Forget about finding Scorpia.

We need you to negotiate
with them instead.

Negotiate for what?

Time.

We can't just cancel foreign debt
overnight.

That would cripple us,
economically and politically.

We need to take measures.

The Bank of England's
gonna freeze interest rates.

We'll issue government bonds at a discount

and pull in debt from elsewhere
to shore things up.

But none of that can happen quickly
and not without causing panic.

How long do you need?

A month. Three months would be better.

We need you to stall them.

You need to convince them.

Turn them on.

Good news.
They're agreeing to your demands.

You have three days.

Well, it's a complicated situation.

Global stability is in the balance.
We need more than three days.

You seek to negotiate with us?

It's what people of good faith do.

Your government
holds other people to ransom.

A gun to the head
or a figure on a balance sheet.

It is terrorism.

And we do not negotiate with terrorists.

Listen.

We want to comply.
We just need more time.

You have three days.

Or we will wipe out
an entire British city.

Tom!

Remind me again why we couldn't
just stay in a hostel?

Look.

What you-- I can't--
I'm up. I'm up. What you need?

I've been triangulating
the cell mast data. I have a fix.

I think I found Alex.

Okay, well, where is he then?

He's here.

How do we get there?

I did this. You do that.

Okay, a "good morning" would be nice.

- Good morning.
- Thank you.

So that's it.
Diplomatic solution. We're shut down.

One thing we should all have learned
about Scorpia by now

is never to underestimate them.

If we sit on our hands,
three days from now,

we'll find out what the plan really was,
and it will be too late.

We need the forensic results,
find out what killed those people.

Communications analysis.
What are we missing?

I'll keep Kellner and the government
off our backs.

Invisible Sword.

We have three days to find and destroy it.

You're kidding.

What's wrong with it? It's fine.

You really think
that will carry two people?

She may not look like much,
but she's got it where it counts, kid.

Don't do that.

I'm just trying to lighten the mood.

Um, I didn't know what size head you were,
so I took a little gamble and went small.

It's a bit dinged up,
but it adds character. Take that.

- Hop on.
- No way. I'll drive.

No, no, I'll be driving.

Do you even know how?

Look, be honest.

Would you rather your arms around me,
or my arms around you?

That's what I thought. Let's go! Whoo!

Cause of death was cardiac arrest.
All of them.

Simultaneous heart attacks.
That's impossible.

I see your "impossible,"
and I raise you 11 bodies.

Then how?

Cyanide, direct to the heart tissue.

More than enough to cause cardiac arrest.

I was with them on the bus.
Nobody touched them.

The post-mortem didn't show any signs
of puncture wounds or injection points.

And toxicology confirms that
only the heart tissue was affected.

How do you get cyanide
into 11 fit, healthy athletes?

Young. Some as young as Alex.

I hear you went to see Jack Starbright.

Yes, I was just checking in.
Can we focus, please?

We're multitasking.
Is there anything I should know?

Alex is out of the country,
thank goodness.

I thought you weren't his handler
anymore.

I'm not.

So, is "checking in" a good idea?

I suppose I still feel responsible.

But he's far away from all of this.

You did that.
We fought his corner, and we got him out.

He's out there being a teenager
because of us.

Inhalation?

Not injection, not ingestion. Inhalation.

They didn't find anything in the lungs.

Yes, but there was something
in the blood work.

Here. Look at this.

Trace amounts of gold
in the bloodstream.

Gold is inert, isn't it?

Yes, exactly. Neutral and non-reactive.

Wouldn't have hurt them in the slightest.
But it's in all of them.

Just a hunch.

I'm going to the stadium.

Right. Take Crawley with you.

Because nobody goes anywhere alone
until this is over.

What is that?

That's where the call came from.

Get down!

It's a bit fancy.

Yeah, but who is in it?

It's Alex. There he is.
There he is. He's alive.

Yeah, I see him.

Alex Rider.

So, you played me from the start.

Don't be too hard on yourself, Alex.

Hiding in plain sight is
something we do very well.

Max Grendel.

Who is he meeting?
I can't see his face.

Is that Scorpia?

Julia Rothman's expecting you.

Max. This is an unexpected pleasure.

Not so unexpected.
You sent a welcome party.

Alex and I have been catching up.

A very promising young man,
wouldn't you say?

I thought you were going back to Prague.

No. I'm staying a few extra days.
There are things we need to discuss.

Let's take a seat.

Actually, we should tour the facility
while you update me on your progress.

Of course.

Thank you, Alex, that'll be all.

Okay. Enjoy the tour.

How's your protégé faring?

Surprising all of us.
He's better than we could have hoped.

Always the long game.

You didn't come all the way out here
to talk about Alex Rider.

No.
I want you to abort Invisible Sword.

Why?

You know why.

Children?

Max, we know each other too well.

You were 100 percent
behind the Cray Project,

and that would have killed millions.
Children included.

It's a little late to get squeamish.

That was Cray's plan, and he was insane.

Are we insane too?

You know what we stand to gain here.

If you're trying to appeal
to my humanity...

then you don't know me
as well as you think you do.

What's really going on?

All right, then. This is about you.

Me?

I have no problem with the plan
to restore Scorpia's power.

Nor with killing to make that happen.

But the first rule of success is
"Don't make it personal."

Stay in the shadows. Stay invisible.
It's how we survive.

But this is personal.
This is your past catching up with you.

And you are drawing us
straight into the spotlight.

I have no idea what you mean.

You chose a British city.
You made the demands unreasonable.

You, yourself, speak to Blunt directly.

And now you have Alex Rider here, training.

You don't wanna just win.
You want revenge.

Of course I do. Don't you?

It's not necessary.

It is to me.

And that's why you should walk away.

The board voted. I have control.
Invisible Sword will go ahead as planned.

We stand together as always.

Not this time. I'm leaving.

No one leaves, Max.

Then I'll be the first.

Max.

You'll be missed.

Goodbye, Julia.

What are you doing in here?

Looking for you.

I'm bored.

You said we'd talk if I proved myself.

And I can do more than meet-and-greets.
I want to know when it gets real.

You've covered incursion planning?

In detail.

So, let's put it into practice.

There's a house, here in Malta.

State-of-the-art security systems
throughout.

On the upper floor is a study

with a painting on the wall
of a huntsman with two dogs.

And behind that painting is a safe.

I want you to bring me what's inside.

What is it?

That's not important.

What is important is that
you must be invisible, undetected.

It must be as if you were never there.

Yassen will give you everything you need.
And he'll go with you.

And if I pass this test?

Alex, this is not a test.

You wanted the real thing.

So, complete this mission,

and you'll have proved yourself
to all of us.

Okay.

The traces of gold
showed up in all the victims?

Every single one.

You can get champagne
with little gold pieces floating in it,

and sometimes
restaurants put gold foil on food.

We lead very different lives.

I read things.

It's a good idea,

but gold would pass
through the digestive tract.

This is something different.

It was a cold morning.

The heating would have been on.

It's a liquid-to-gas diffuser.

Cartridges are empty.

We're okay.

What is that?

I think this is a bullet.

If that's a bullet, where's the trigger?

Hey.

What's all this?

I have to plan an incursion
into an actual house.

Real world?

Yeah.

It's a tough one, apparently.

Going somewhere?

Training's over.
I'm being posted to my assignment.

Real world for the both of us now.

Let's hope I handle it a lot better
than you're about to.

What's that supposed to mean?

You've already failed.
You've tripped the alarms.

The police are coming.

Where?

The infrared detectors on the approach.

You clip the radius here and here.

What happened with Mateo this morning?

If you can't make the kill
when it's right in front of you,

why are you here?

You think you can avoid it, don't you?

You think if you're clever enough,
if you think outside the box...

...that you won't have to kill.

That it's going to go away.

It's not.

I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.

You will get to it.
It's where the road leads.

And that's when you'll find out
what you're really capable of.

I did.

Good luck with your mission.

Hey.

Watch your back.

Always.

Uh-huh.

Yeah, but the case laws on that
date back to the 1970s.

Isn't there anything more recent
we can put in front of the judge?

Okay, if you could.

Uh-huh. Just e-mail it to me.
Thanks, Leah.

- Jack Starbright?
- Yeah?

- Hello?
Okay, good job picking up.

But maybe don't answer the door
to anyone you don't know

- for a little while.
- Tom...

...where have you been?

Sorry. It's been complicated.

But we're good, we're safe.
It's just-- We have to be careful.

Okay? Put some protocols in place.

Remember "stranger danger" as a kid?

Have you been arrested again?

Scorpia found out about us,
so we're under the radar.

We found Alex, we can't get to him,
but we're on it.

Scorpia? Are they watching me?

Great, now she's freaking out. Thanks.

Um, just don't talk to anyone.
Don't open the door to anyone.

Don't contact us using your phone.

- [Tom] Jack.
- Mm-hm.

I need you to trust us, okay?
We can do this. But we need to be smart.

I do trust you.
I'm just scared... for Alex.

Yeah, I know. I know. Us too.

When we get more information,
we'll send you another package.

But for now, better cover your tracks.
We can't leave any footprints in the snow.

I don't know what-- What do you mean?

He means smash the phone.

Okay. Okay, yeah. I got it.

Good luck. Bring him home.

Yeah, we will.

What's that?

Shopping list.

Infrared fogging unit. Okay.

Be careful.

This... What does this say? What is this?

CCTV scrambler.

Oh.

This. Working. Good.

Beam displacer. These two parts, okay?

This is the refraction mirror. Be very
careful. Put it in the side, down there.

You've put "lockpick"?

I left my last one in Nile.

We can do better.

This...

is an automatic pick.

Works on almost anything.

Nice.

You know, when the department
sent me to Point Blanc,

they gave me a radio
disguised as an MP3 player,

and it didn't even work.

Well, we each have our resources.

But the most important component
is the operative, is you.

So, what's in the safe?

I don't know.

Is it something to do with Consanto?

Alex, we have our mission.
We don't ask questions.

Mrs. Jones would have told me.

Well, I'm not her.

Wait. Slow down.
These were checked.

But look at the situation.
Line of sight from the building.

Elevated position.

And it's the same route
the football team took.

I'm telling you, it's clear.
There was no one here.

There didn't need to be.

That van wasn't there yesterday.

Need a hand with that?

Hands where I can see them. Now.

Whatever you're thinking of doing, don't.

- I've got no choice.
- Don't!

Damn it!

Stay back.

Nerve agent.

What the hell was he doing
that was worth dying for?

Removing the evidence.

Why two agents?

What?

This is a simple infiltration op.
Why do I need you as my shadow?

I don't want you to fail.

I don't want you to die.

So, we're a team.

We're a team.

Then who's the leader?

It's your mission. You're in command.

Okay.

- Kyra. Kyra, wake up. Wake up.
- Hmm?

Something's happening.
Something's happening.

It's Alex!

So, uh, what's the plan?

We follow them.

Get down.

Get on.

How do you want... You okay with me...?

Just hold on!

Yeah, okay. I am, I think. I'm gonna...

Invisible Sword is a weapon in two parts.

This is the first part.

A diffuser unit.
It diffuses vapor into the air.

Inside that vapor
are tiny particles of cyanide.

Now, each particle is encased
within an inert shell made of gold.

So, to begin with,
it's entirely harmless to the body.

If you breathe this in,
you won't smell it, you won't taste it,

you wouldn't feel a thing.

But in fact, a lethal dose of cyanide
is now inside you,

waiting to be triggered.

This was in the locker room
at the stadium?

In the heating vents. Must have emptied
and dispersed by the time we got there.

So, if you're breathing in cyanide,

how does it go straight to the heart,
missing everything else out?

That's the really clever part.

I think that the nanoparticles
have been protein-coated

to bond specifically with cardiac tissue.

Precision engineering
on a molecular level.

Sort of guidance system.

Like tiny missiles all with one target.

It's the same technology
doctors are using to target cancer cells,

only here, instead of delivering medicine,
it's delivering poison.

And what happens
when it reaches the heart?

The particles bond to the heart tissue,
and there they sit.

More and more of them, clustered together,

but still safely encased
in their gold microscopic shells.

Until...

Scorpia pull the trigger.

This looks like a mobile phone pod,
but it's absolutely not.

In fact, it's an extremely powerful
terahertz transmitter,

tuned precisely to the resonant frequency
of the gold nano-shells.

So, if you have
a heart-load of cyanide particles,

and you're anywhere near this...?

It will shake the coating apart
and allow the cyanide to burst free.

It was targeting the team
from the moment they were on the road,

which gives an exposure time
of around three minutes.

After that,
you drop dead of heart failure.

If you've already been contaminated
with cyanide vapor, would you know?

No.

You wouldn't have a clue.

Until Scorpia turn
the transmitter weapon on you.

And then you're dead.

So winter, cold.

Every office building,
every train station,

every shopping center
has the heating system on.

It's the perfect dispersal mechanism.

And we can't tell who's been infected?

Not without cutting open their hearts.

We could try to find the dispersal units,
but my guess is they'll be long gone.

This could have been set up weeks ago.

Would this pod be able
to wipe out an entire city?

No. You'd need something much bigger.

A serious, large-scale transmitter array.

Multiple units, 360 degrees,
a massive power source.

And high up.

The top of a building,
or a mast, or a tower.

So find it.

No staff, no guards.

Everything's trusted
to the security system.

Now, we wait.

Okay.

What is this place?

Don't know.

Looks like they're scoping it out.

Who's he with?

It's Yassen.

That's it. The security panel
is in that cabinet.

We need to hurry.

Let's go find the safe.

You lead the way.

Bingo.

Bit late for visitors, isn't it?

So, Julia's given you
your first field mission.

Where is it?

Where is what?

The safe.

There is no safe.

Whatever information exists,
it's all in here.

And Julia knows that.

But you don't, do you?

Alex, tell me, did you come here alone?

Yassen.

Max.

Sorry, what's going on here?

Would you like to finish your drink?

No. Thank you.

Kyra, what is it?

This is what you had to see, to learn.

This is what we do.

He was one of you.

He was our target, Alex.

He was unarmed!

Well, he was still our target.

Now, put the painting back up.
We have to hurry.

I got you in.

Alex, this is what your father did.

Tom. Tom. Yassen is still inside.
Wait. Tom!

Alex.

Tom? What are you doing?

Saving you, man. Come on. Run.

You can't be here.

- You need to leave.
- What? Why?

Get out of here, right now!

No way!

Yassen's coming.
If he sees you, he'll kill you!

- Exactly, so come on!
- I can't.

What's happened?

I messed up. Okay? I really did.
You don't understand. You have to go.

No, no. Not without you. Okay?

You can't help me. Go. Go!

Progress?

We have undercover units
in all major metropolitan areas.

They're checking for skyscrapers,
cell masts,

any new microwave dishes
or cellphone transmitters.

Nothing as yet.

It's the old "bigger picture," isn't it?

I have been thinking
about the bigger picture.

Always a good idea.

Scorpia want us to cancel foreign debt.
But why? They're not humanitarians.

Go on.

When they said
they don't negotiate with terrorists,

that really pushed Kellner's buttons.

It's as if they want
the negotiations to fail.

What do you think they're doing?

I think they're trying to make us angry.

Because angry people don't think straight.
They make mistakes.

You lied to me!
You made me part of a murder!

- Alex.
- I told you I didn't want this,

and you killed Max just to prove a point!

Don't you dare say that.
Max was my friend. My oldest friend.

- Then why would you kill him?
- He was going to betray us.

And you and I have both been betrayed
too many times.

Don't make this about me.

But it is.

Alex, I know your past.

What's that supposed to mean?

You're a Scorpia operative now, Alex.

Your job isn't to question me
or to second-guess your orders.

It's to execute your missions.

Jones to all units.
Prisoners are in position.

We're ready for exchange.
Remember, nobody fires unless ordered.

Tac One, I have the target.

Tac Two, on target.

Tac One, Jones. Take the shot.

Tac One. Target's down. Clean kill.

Tac One, Jones. Take the shot.

Tac One. Target's down. Clean kill.

I didn't think you were ready for this.

She gave the order.

Yes.

Mrs. Jones came to my house.
I trusted her.

Why? Why did she kill him?

You see now?

She betrayed you.
Just as Max betrayed me.

That target on your wall.
I think it's time we gave it a name.
