Alex Rider

This is Damian Cray and I'm here to tell you

that Feathered Serpent 2 will launch tomorrow.

The world will be better because of it.

I first saw Yassen at school and now he's following me.

What happened to your uncle was unfortunate.

Who killed him? Is it Yassen Gregorovitch?

Tell me about Yassen.

They call themselves SCORPIA.

Blunt thinks they're planning an assassination.

Of the president?

-May we have access to your roof? -What are you worried about? Sniper?

Between the president leaving the car and entering the building,

that could be maybe five or six seconds.

It's an awkward shot but you could do it.

Hello, Alex. You have something that's mine.

-You mean this? - Exactly.

I'd like it back, please.

That's not gonna happen.

I took something that I think is important to you.

Follow the instructions and bring me what's mine,

and you and Sabina here...

will live to see tomorrow.

Give me your phone, please.

Thank you.

Arms. Legs.

-Let's go inside. -No.

Did you kill my uncle?

Yes. I killed him.

Why?

He made a mistake.

He trusted the people he worked with.

Come on. Inside.

You, take him. Over there.

- Yes, sir. - Sabina.

Got what you wanted?

Yes, I have.

What is it?

President Walker's thumbprint.

I got everything I need.

It's gonna be okay.

So we can go?

Of course not.

Kill them both.

No.

What?

It's a mistake.

They are hostages.

Ideal hostages.

They're just kids.

They're not relevant.

This one...

works for the British government.

In fact, he works for Alan Blunt.

You've hired your mercenaries. You've made your plans.

But things don't always go as you expect.

And then hostages can be very useful.

If Blunt knew that you were here,

this place would be crawling with CIA and MI6.

You're on your own.

Lock them up.

Look at this subroutine.

Look how the call-backs are structured. Why is it like that?

Actually, I think we start with who the hell are you

and what the hell are you doing in my chair?

Kyra. Code.

Kyra Vichenko-Chao?

Didn't you escape from a Department safe house?

The food was very bad.

-And you're here why? - I brought her here.

Alex discovered Cray's game code at the facility in Amsterdam.

He said there's something dangerous in it. I need to find out what.

Are we saying Damian Cray is a threat?

The president is about to arrive at his house.

I know. I'm on it.

What the hell is this?

Yeah.

Exactly.

I thought you'd want me dead.

Like I said.

You're more use this way.

For the moment.

You work for Cray now?

Do what he tells you?

Like a dog.

Is that all SCORPIA are? Dogs for hire?

You're trying to create an opportunity.

Make me angry.

Make me careless.

Those things don't happen with me.

Then how did you get the scar?

Be quiet now.

Cray is right, isn't he?

No one's coming. We're on our own.

Alex, what is this all about? What is he gonna do?

I don't know.

But I heard him say a million people are gonna die.

A million people to save a hundred million.

What? Tell me you have a plan.

I'm working on it.

- How are we? -Perimeter's secure.

Airspace is cleared. Building and grounds have been swept.

We're good to go.

The president's about to arrive.

What about Mr. Cray?

We've had a message. He's been unavoidably detained.

Something to do with the game launch.

I have two agents guarding him.

He may be late but he will be safe.

Sniper units, stay alert.

The president is arriving now.

Echo 1, we are in position.

Perimeter is secure.

This is Overwatch, we are clear.

Eagle is secure.

President's inside. Front access is clear.

Secure the gates.

Come on, let's move. I'm on a schedule here.

Bring the girl.

-Thought you had a party to go to. - I do.

In fact, President Walker should be arriving right now.

What are you doing with her?

In case you try anything stupid.

- Where's Cray? -Running late, apparently.

Do we have agents on him?

Yeah. Two.

-Checking in every hour. -Call them.

Get me Cray's detail.

Comm check negative.

We've lost touch with them.

Let's move, people. Come on, let's go!

Go, go, go. Move!

Let's go, get your bags!

You updated the drone's firmware?

It will appear to air traffic control

as a military plane with a valid flight plan.

And they'll believe whatever we tell them.

Let's move out.

Cray's gone missing en route.

His security detail's unresponsive.

It's worse than that.

I believe Cray was behind Smoking Mirror's attempt

to hack the Pentagon.

I also have a report that he killed a man in cold blood.

Where did you get this information?

Excuse us.

Alex Rider?

Yes. The intel is good.

-What's your proof? -Smithers is working on it.

Working on it's not enough.

-Well, he was right about Gregorovitch. -Who he led to Smoking Mirror.

He destroyed our lead. He destroyed the entire operation.

Just for a moment, let's consider the possibility that Cray is a murderer

and his game is some kind of Trojan horse.

What if the danger isn't to Cray,

it's from Cray?

Trust your agent.

The agent is psychologically unsound.

-Why do you keep saying this? -Because of his psych evaluation.

Yes, with Dr. Lambert, who I recommended.

As I hoped you would.

-How dare you. -You really think

I was gonna let Alex Rider walk away from this without oversight?

Alex Rider does not run this department.

No, he does not.

But it's not just Alex you don't trust, is it?

You don't trust me. You don't trust anyone. Yourself.

Drop this. Now.

-Are we good? -Yes, we're fine.

No. We're not. Cray is the threat, not SCORPIA.

Get the president out of here right now.

Security black. Crash, crash, crash.

The agents we put on Cray are dead.

Cray's vanished.

Code black. Evacuate the president immediately.

Go, go, go.

Copy that.

Alex?

Anybody home?

Alex?

Hey, Tom.

Where's Alex?

Not here.

Jack, I think he might be in trouble.

Deploy the drone.

Yes, sir.

We're set.

Set transponder to emergency code 7700.

Drone will appear as aircraft Lockheed-Martin C130.

Unit control, deploy.

Tango Seven Delta, this is Calfield tower.

You are squawking 7700.

-What is your emergency? - Mayday, mayday, Calfield tower.

We have an engine fire and suppression has failed.

I repeat, we have an engine fire and we are losing altitude.

Roger, Tango Seven Delta.

The runway is clear for emergency landing.

Be advised, Calfield, we are carrying hazardous cargo.

Say again, Tango Seven Delta?

We are carrying nerve gas.

I repeat, we are carrying thiophosphonate nerve gas, 15 liters.
