Point Blanc.

This is where Parker got sent.

There have been two
very high-profile

accidental deaths recently.

One you already know about,
Michael Roscoe in New York.

Parker Roscoe's father.

The other is in Moscow,
a man named Gregoriy Serenkov,

an oligarch with an interest
in controlling.

Russia's oil
and gas infrastructure.

Your uncle was getting close
with him, just before his death,

as a potential asset.

We felt he could offer insight
into Russia's moves

on the global stage
and perhaps influence them too.

But then he died,
an accident on his yacht.

Serenkov also had a son
named Stepan.

Stepan was also a student
at Point Blanc.

Two deaths. Two teenagers.

One school.

Well, you're the spies.
Why can't you sort it out?

Because the only people
that can get in to Point Blanc

are troubled teenagers.

You take a look around,

you don't take any risks,

and you report back anything
you think could be relevant.

Relevant? Yes.

How they're treating
the students,

are they using
the normal curriculum,

is there any unusual behavior?

We can't tell you exactly
what to look for

because we don't know
what's there.

You'll have to use
your initiative.

You said two deaths.

It's three.

My uncle died because of this.

You're absolutely right,
of course.

We think Ian had made
the connection

and that somehow
led to his death.

What we don't yet know
is how or why?

But we are all very concerned
to see whoever is responsible

brought to account.

As I believe are you?

Sure you're okay going in?

Yeah. It's just school.
School's fine.

And that thing that happened,
what was that all about?

It was a misunderstanding.
That's what Mr. Blunt said.

A misunderstanding?

I'm gonna be deported

and you're gonna get taken
into care,

but then it all goes away again

because why, exactly? I don't know.

That's a pretty big
misunderstanding.

How does something like that
even happen?

I don't know.

Neither do I.

And you know
what I really don't get?

Is how Mr. Blunt from the bank
is in the middle of this?

I get how he knows hedge funds
and investments.

I don't get how he knows about
police and social services.

Wanna explain that? Can
we talk about this later?

What did he say in the
car? I'm gonna be late.

Don't think I don't know when
you're keeping things from me.

You can't fool me
like you fool your uncle.

Objection, Your Honor,
badgering the witness.

All right. Later.

But we're not done with this,
okay?

Okay.

Hey, man, what happened?
I've been calling you

like nonstop since yesterday.
I was worried.

I just needed some time.

Well, have you worked it out?

Not really.

Because I think I have.

Organized crime. It's got to be.

Money laundering, right?

Ian stumbles upon the finances
at the bank.

Paper trail.
He starts piecing it together.

Only he gets too close
and that's when they...

You know, they make their
move. I don't think that was it.

How do you know? That's
exactly what the Mafia do.

Or get you to roll over.
But Ian wouldn't do that.

He was a good man. Tom.

We have Mafia in London.

It's not the Mafia.
It's not the Mafia.

Well, then who was it?
What if it was just an accident?

Maybe it was just a crash, okay?
Maybe I got it wrong.

Are you serious?

Hey. Alex. Um...

I just wanted to say

I'm really sorry
about your uncle.

We all are.

I think it's really brave,
you coming in to school.

Anyway, uh...

I'll see you around, okay?

She's right, you know.

If it were me,
I wouldn't even be out of bed.

I'd just sit there
with the duvet on my head

and hide.

Thanks, man.

But it wasn't a crash.

Ballistics are back.

It was a 9-millimeter K5.

Korean standard issue?

The North Korean defector,
last year?

Ian handled the whole thing.

I think they finally found out
who was responsible

and they came for him.

It's credible.

The defection hit them hard.

And if they realized
Ian was involved...

Exactly, they could be
sending us a message.

Hence the use
of a military-issue pistol

instead of something anonymous.

Is it too credible?

Or is someone trying to tell us
exactly what we want to hear?

You've been doing this too long.

Hmm.

Where's Blunt?

Arranging Alex's cover story.

David. I was just reading.
Did you see this?

They're reviewing
the honors system,

so they'll be able
to take back a knighthood

if they discover
you don't deserve it.

What do you think of that?

What do you want, Blunt?

I thought we could have lunch?

I already have a lunch.

Right then,
how about a drink? Come on.

We all know
pi is actually 3.14159...

Sorry to interrupt.

Alex?

Can I have a word please?

Hello.

Alex, this is Mr. Daniels

from
The Grief Counseling Service.

Oh, I didn't ask for that. I know.

But it's a service that
the local authority provides

and the police passed on
your details.

I hope you don't mind.

Thank you.

I'll bring him back
to the office when we're done.

I wanna talk to you
about your uncle's death.

I'm okay.

What I mean...

is your uncle didn't die
in a car crash.

He was executed.

And Alan Blunt let that happen.

That's what I want
to talk about.

I'm here to help you, Alex.

Who are you? Geoffrey Daniels.

Foreign & Commonwealth Office.

Alex, I understand
that the last few days

must be very distressing
for you.

You should be with your friends
and family,

coming to terms with
what must be a terrible loss.

Can I see some ID? What?

First, you're a grief counselor

and now you're Foreign Office.

I'd just like to be sure.

You're quite right.

What do you want?

The Department
of Special Operations was set up

during the Cold War,

when the rules were,
well, different.

Alan Blunt has been running it
for the past 20 years

as a kind of personal fiefdom.

He calls it necessity,
we call it unlawful.

Now we keep trying to shut
the department down for good,

but Blunt, so far,
has been untouchable.

Until now.

What's changed?

You.

Alex?

Has Blunt asked you
to work for him as an agent?

Using a schoolboy in the field
is not just illegal,

it demonstrates a dangerous
lack of judgment.

And we could use this

to shut the department down
for good.

What did Alan Blunt ask you
to do?

Alex...

There you are.

Sorry... No, it's fine.

We were just finished.

Alex, one more thing.

Whatever he asked you to do,
be careful.

It could be dangerous.

And there could be other
interested parties.

Watch your back.

I'm just saying,
they were nice shoes.

Since when
do you notice footwear?

I notice a lot of things.

Like nice jacket and nice shoes
on "some guy" from the council.

He wasn't from the council.
A grief counselor.

Yeah, but local authority,
right?

I mean,
counselor from the council,

but with really nice shoes.

Yeah, well,
he's gone now anyway.

I was thinking,
we should have a movie night?

You know,
like we were gonna but...

Yeah. Okay. What movie?

I was thinking
a Kurosawa samurai marathon?

You know, Yojimbo,
Throne of Blood,

Seven Samurai, obviously,
and then Ghost Dog,

to spice things up a bit.
I know what you're thinking,

Ghost Dogisn't Kurosawa, and you're right.

But it's good, so...

That sounds
like a lot of samurai.

Yeah, granted,
it's a lot of samurai,

but you can never have
too much of a good thing.

So 6-ish at mine?

Yeah. Cracking.

Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

Geoffrey Daniels, please.

One moment.

Daniels speaking.

I just met David Friend,

a food production
and distribution empire

worth 150 billion.

And a teenage boy
with emotional problems

should be enough
to get Point Blanc's attention,

don't you think?

What about the daughter?
I hear she's a nightmare.

Won't be there.
She has a boyfriend.

We can put Alex in
at the weekend.

I'll start the imagery.Mrs. Jones?

Yes? I know you don't approve,

but I do hope this isn't
going to affect your judgment.

You think
I'm being unprofessional?

You've lost an agent.

Nobody gets the better
of Alan Blunt,

but somebody just did.

And your answer to that

is to use a grieving boy
as an asset?

To say I don't agree
doesn't even begin to cover it.

I see. No, I don't think you do.

I want you
to be Alex Rider's handler.

Agents have handlers,
not teenagers.

Updates every eight hours.

So 6-ish at mine, yeah?

Yojimboain't gonna watchitself.

Yeah. Okay.

Sure?
It doesn't have to be today.

They're dedicated
and disciplined samurai.

They can wait.No. No, it'll be cool.

All right then. Arigato, boy.

Wait. Please.

Please.

Please.

Hello, Alex.

Where are we?

Somewhere nobody
will ever find you.

Do you understand?

I'm gonna ask you a question,
Alex.

One question.

If you tell me the truth,
things are gonna be okay.

I promise.

But if you lie to me...

things are not gonna be okay.

Do you understand?

Who did your uncle Ian work for?

What?

You heard me.

Answer the question
and we're done.

What was your uncle's job?

He worked in a bank.

Bad choice.

Hello? Using an actual landline here.

Can you believe that?
Can I get Alex?

If he's okay, I mean.

What? I thought he was with you?

No. I mean, he was coming here,
but he never showed.

I thought he just
wasn't up for it, you know.

Tom, I need to go.

You've reached Alex Rider.

Why are you doing this?

I'm not doing it.

You are.

As long as you keep lying to me.

And you need to know,

the more you lie,
the worse it's gonna get.

Do you understand?

Let's try something else.

What is Point Blanc?

It's where you shoot someone
at close range.

Point-blank range.

Your uncle, he worked
for the British government.

He was a spy.

And I think you are too.

Look.

I don't feel good.

I hit my head in the van.

Maybe if I could have some water
or something?

What is Point Blanc?

Look, I have no idea
what you're talking about.

You've got the wrong person.

Tough kid. He's not a kid.

He's the subject.

This is the third time
she's called.

I know, teenagers stay out late.

You're not listening to me.

I'm sorry,
if I knew where he was,

I wouldn't be trying
to report him missing.

Hello? JACK: Tom. It's Jack.

What is it? I'm worried about Alex.

He's not here. Do you know
the password to his computer?

Why?

I wanna check his e-mail.

Look, I don't know his password.

I don't believe you.

Look, he made me promise
not to tell you.

That I believe. Now, Tom.

All right, let's wrap this up.

I want this area swept
and clear by 1900.

If anyone asks,
it's the usual cover story.

All right, let's wrap this up.

I want this area swept
and clear by 1900.

If anyone asks,
it's the usual cover story.

Jack Starbright

came to work for your uncle
six years ago.

Family's all back in America.

If you won't help us,
maybe she will.

Or maybe Tom Harris.

Can I see them?

Please.

I just wanna see my friends.

You can go home.

Right now, if you want, Alex.

What is Point Blanc?

It's when you can't miss,
asshole.

You're spies, right?

Took me a while
to put it all together.

The footage, the crime scene
that wasn't supposed to exist

and the fake deportation,
the guys at the door?

That was classy.

You've been busy.

You don't even know
the half of it.

I've made a lot of copies.

A dozen law firms
on five continents

are gonna get packets.

And if they don't hear from me,
safe and sound,

at nice regular intervals,

they're gonna open them
and blow the lid

off your little enterprise.

Are we clear?

What exactly is it
that you want, Miss Starbright?

Where's, Alex?

I don't know. Isn't he with you?

I almost had him.

Right before he called you
an asshole.

Can I say something?

Can I stop you?

This is complete bullshit. It's our job.

Since when is our job
torturing kids?

This is not cool,
and you know it.

What she said.

Come on, boss.

Turn the water off.

Go on.

Oh, shit.

What you got? Anything?

Nothing.

Two squad.
What you got on thermal?

Nothing.

He's soaking wet,

his body temperature's
depressed.

This should be interesting.

All right, move out.

Target acquired.

I see him. Move in.

Wait!

Wait! Stop!

Alex.

You.

I've been looking for you.

I did warn you
this might happen.

These people,
they have no scruples.

They will do anything
to get what they want.

What are you doing?

Get in.

Let me help you out of here.

No.

I did warn you.

Shoot me.

Go on.

Go on, shoot me.

Yeah, I didn't think so.

Did I pass?

So did I pass? Huh?

Ah.

Smithers,
what on earth is going on?

Smithers?

Stand down.

This mission is now terminated.

RTB for debrief.

Come on, Alex,
I'll take you home.

Alex.

Hey. You and I should talk.

Just put it in your report.

The report states the
subject appears to have been trained

to withstand interrogation.

Perhaps he has.

It would appear
Ian thought of everything.

Was I literally going to be the
last person to know about this?

You said I was his handler.

And you are.

Then don't ever go
behind my back again

with my agent.

We needed to be sure.

And are you?

This operation must remain
entirely between the four of us.

No traceable records.

Mm.

Just hold still.

You're doing it deliberately.Yeah.

I like to watch you squirm.
Come here.

How did you get
into my computer?

Really?

Is that what you're asking me
right now?

I'm changing my password.

Okay.

Listen to me.

They crossed the line.

In fact, they've crossed
the line so far,

they can't even see
the line anymore.

So we're gonna walk away.
Hear me?

Jack... If they deport me,

they deport me. I don't care.

I'll finish them. I don't wanna do this.

Then don't.
With the footage you got,

it's proof. We own them now.

I have to.

Not for them. For Ian.

Sweetie, I promise you,

Ian would've wanted you
a million miles away

from those people. Yeah, maybe,

except he kind of was one
of those people.

All along, he was.

I just do this one thing,
for him, and it's over.

They leave us alone.

This one thing that they want
you to do. What is it?

Just going into a school,
looking around, reporting back.

No one's gonna notice I'm there.

And they told you that? Yes.

And you trust them?

Who's the boy?

It's classified.

All right,
let's try another one.

What's Point Blanc?

The questions
don't have to mean anything.

Well, it meant something to him.

It was a training mission.

Are you out of your minds?

Huh?

He was scared.

Isn't that normal
for when people meet you?

He was scared.

He wasn't letting it
take him over.

He was using it against me,
using it to hold out.

Like he's been training for this
his whole life.

Yes, I read your report.

Yeah, he had no idea
who we were.

And?

He doesn't want it at all.

He's not there
because he's signed up.

He doesn't know
this is training.

He's there
because someone's forcing him.

Someone's got a gun to his head,

and I think that someone's you.
I wanna know why.

It's none of your business.

You made it my business

when you put me in a room
with him.

If he ends up dead,
you know it's on you, right?

The CIA
report for Michael Roscoe.

They pulled this
from the penthouse CCTV.

He's calling Blunt,
that's him leaving a message.

Now, watch.

Now, ask yourself,
how distracted by your phone

do you have to be not to notice

that the lift you're stepping
into isn't there?

Pass me that book.

Hologram. With the right digital snapshot

of the lift interior
and the right beam combiners

and collimation optics
in the shaft,

Roscoe would never have known
the floor wasn't there

until he fell right through it.

What would it take
to set something like that up?

Americans could pull it off,
possibly.

Possibly another couple
of agencies,

but we're talking
government-level capability.

The technology you'd need
is seriously advanced.

Thank you.

How's the shoulder?

It hurts.

Good.

That means it's healing.

What are you doing here?

I came to check on you.

My health?

Did they believe
the cover story you fed them?

Yeah, that was good.

The K5 sold it.

They're looking
at a North Korean response

to the defection.
Tit-for-tat reaction

with Ian as the target.

And it seems to be working.

I'm not hearing anything
about you

and nothing about Point Blanc.

Good.

Of course, if anything changes,

if you do hear any mention
of the school or of us,

you'll let me know at once.

Right?

Yeah.

Of course.

You're a good man, Martin.

I'll make sure
we take care of you.

Now we know how
you perform under pressure.

I think you did very well.

I don't care what you think.

I want to know
who killed my uncle.

And that's it. I don't ever
want to see you again.

That's the deal.

Sounds we both want
the same things.

And if you threaten
my friends again,

I'll find a way to hurt you.

Are we done?

Mrs. Jones can take it
from here.

Alex. We lie to people
to protect them.

You shouldn't blame him.

I don't.

We've created
a cover identity for you.

You will be Alex Friend,

son of the billionaire
Sir David Friend

and his wife, Lady Caroline.

They've already got
one troubled teenager,

and now we're giving them
another.

We've also created
a cover story for you

which explains why they want you
inducted into Point Blanc.

Beyond that, we're assembling

all information we can gather
about the academy,

the conditions inside
and the other pupils.

To help you become Alex Friend,

you'll be living
with Sir David and Lady Caroline

in their country estate.

So when does it all,
like, start for real?

It already has.

But are you sure, Dr. Greif?

I'm only saying first Serenkov
and now Roscoe.

We wouldn't want to risk
drawing attention to ourselves,

especially not at this stage.

We are so close now.

You're right.

We're so close.

But we always planned
for one more.

And you have to admit,
this one is just perfect.

Of course.

So it's decided.

You know what to do.

Yes, doctor.
