settle down, everybody. Quiet, please.
Mobile phones off, thank you very much.
Okay.
so what is it that makes us what we are?
What is it that defines us?
Is it where we live?
Is it our schooling?
Or is it our family?
Alex Rider. Family?
Alex?
Yes, sir?
Have you prepared something for us?
Yes.
Come on then.
There's not much I can say about my family.
I didn't know my parents, they died when I was small.
I live with my uncle.
He's never around so I can't tell you much about him either.
I have a housekeeper because he's always away on business.
she's an American and her name is Jack.
she's always there for me, which is great because...
he isn't.
My uncle...
he's never gonna set the world on fire because he's got a real boring Job.
Intruder alert!
His work means a lot to him, but, he never talks about it.
so where's your uncle now?
At a conference in Cornwall.
"Life in the slow lane."
Whoops-a-daisy! That's the way to do it.
What a pity!
I wish I knew more about my uncle, but he's not an easy man to pin down.
What the...?!
And that's about it.
The end.
Thank you, Alex.
- Okay, so, if you come round about... - I really wanna come.
Hey, Sabina.
Alex!
do you wanna do something this weekend?
I can't, I've riding lessons and I'm going out with my parents.
It doesn't matter.
Maybe next weekend?
Whatever.
Hey, are you coming home?
Yeah, I'm on my way now.
How was the conference?
It was fine.
- You know how they are. - No, I don't. You never tell me.
There isn't much to tell. Wait a minute.
Hello? Hello?
Hello?
- What was that? - Nothing.
I'm sorry I wasn't there last week, but, this trip came out of nowhere.
As always.
I'll be back in time for dinner, and then we've got the whole weekend.
- Really? - When did I ever let you down?
Do you really want me to answer that?
I know. Look, I'll see you soon, okay?
I'm glad you called.
Yeah, me too.
I'll see you later,
Bye.
And then I see you again
And that look is in your eyes
You blew my mind but it wasn't real
You and I
We're floating in a kaleidoscope of lies
Tell me why
You dress the truth in a velvet disguise
I wanna break free
You can never shake what I believe
And the sunrise paints the skies red in shame
And you wake up to find the whole world's gone insane
But if you hide yourself away Well I say
Hey, you've only got yourself to blame
Gotta decide
Whether or not you believe all those lies.
But take it from me
They've got a strangle hold on the air we breathe
And the sunrise burns the sky red in shame.
And you wake up to find the whole world's gone insane
But if you hide yourself away Well I say
Jack?
Jack, are you here?
Oh, Jack.
Good day at school?
Why are we speaking Japanese?
We're having a special dinner.
sushi.
Arigatou.
Let's begin.
I met the most amazing guy at the fish market today.
Do you know what the problem with this country is?
Every good-looking guy is either gay or married.
Except for you, but you're too young.
Will you please eat something?
He's coming. He's just stuck in traffic.
He would have rung.
He's probably gone to the office and the next thing we know,
he's going to Hong Kong.
Let me down again.
- You know his work means a lot to him. - Yeah, it means a lot.
All the more for us.
What did I tell you? Who's a genius?
Come on.
We are gathered here today...
to bid farewell to a man called
A reminder that even in the midst of life...
we are all of us walking together...
in the shadow of death.
Ian Rider was a good man.
Everyone who worked with him will remember him for his courage...
and his loyalty.
He was, above all, a true patriot.
We have entrusted our brother to God's mercy...
and we now commit his body to the ground.
Earth to earth.
Ashes to ashes.
Dust to dust.
Ian Rider, a true patriot.
True patriot.
To Him, be glory forever.
Amen.
I'm John Crawford from the Royal and General Bank.
I just want you to know, you have our condolences.
It's a tragedy. A car crash. If only he had been wearing a seatbelt.
Thank you.
This is Alan Blunt. He's the Chairman of the Bank.
Alex.
sorry about your uncle. We're going to miss him.
- He talked a lot about you. - That's strange.
Because he never mentioned you.
his is my deputy, Mrs Jones.
I'll be in contact very soon, Alex.
Why?
After what's happened, the question of who's going to look after you.
- I'll look after him. - We're just trying to help.
I'm sure we'll meet again, Hopefully, somewhere a little less
gloomy.
My uncle always wore a seatbelt, Mr Blunt.
- He was a very careful man. - Not careful enough.
Did you mean what you said about looking after me?
Of course I did, idiot.
You know I would never leave you. Yeah.
Besides, who else is there?
I mean, will you be allowed to? We are not even related.
how much more related do you wanna be?
Is it just me, or were those bankers weird?
I've been doing this all day!
What the heck are you doing?!
Alex?
Alex!
Idiot!
Get out of it!
What are you playing at?!
I predict a riot
If you see that Nigel, you tell him I want him, all right?
What's going on?!
The Rider car should have been done two days ago! so do it now, all right?!
- I didn't get the paperwork! - Just do it, Harry!
- I'm going to Liverpool street. - Liverpool street? What, the station?
Yes, you berk! Where else? I'm gonna take them the stuff.
Bryce? Bryce?
Tyson, get down!
What?
Harry!
Come here!
There he goes!
Close in.
How did he get in? Get out the way!
sure they said they were coming here? They could have gone have gone anywhere.
They're not taking the train, they're bringing stuff to the station.
- Where? - I don't know.
- Jack. - What?
Over there.
It's that guy from the funeral.
What's his name?
Alex?
The stormbreaker. Coming soon from Sayle Enterprises.
- Look out. - sorry.
The stormbreaker. Coming soon from Sayle Enterprises.
Welcome to Arrivals.
Please remain seated and await docking procedure.
Good morning.
Good morning, Alex. shouldn't you be at school?
I was at Liverpool street station.
And now I'm here.
That's right.
Morning.
so what is this place? Hogwarts?
I think you've probably realised, your uncle didn't work for a bank.
The Royal and General doesn't exist. He worked for us.
Who are you?
My name is Mrs Jones. I run the special Operation Division of M16.
Wait a minute, are you saying he lied to me?
He lied to everyone. sorry. Part of his job.
Ian Rider was one of our best agents. Until you got him killed.
He got himself killed. It's an occupational hazard, I'm afraid.
- Not if you're a banker. - Mr Blunt wants to talk to you.
We have a proposition we'd like to make.
We want you to work for us.
- You're not being serious? - It's not my habit to make jokes
Well, you're making one now.
I don't wanna be a spy. In case you haven't noticed, I'm still at school.
I'll take that as a 'no', then.
What a great shame.
Your uncle would be very disappointed.
- What? - Letting him down like that.
But then, I suppose, young people...
How can you say that?
He wouldn't want me here. He spent his life making sure I didn't know about this.
Really?
Then how do you explain ...
this?
First-rate martial arts moves.
Perfectly executed. Who trained you?
- Nobody trained me. - You're a black belt at karate.
Who paid for the lessons?
- It was my choice. - No!
All your life, Ian Rider was preparing you.
You speak French, German and Japanese.
He took me on holiday. You've been scuba diving, mountain climbing ...
abseiling, white water rafting They were my hobbies.
rifle shooting, martial arts.
He was training you.
That's not how it was. You're trying to spoil everything.
Please put me back in the photo booth and show me the way out.
I'm surprised, really.
I thought you'd want to get back at your uncle's killers.
How's that housekeeper of yours? What's her name? Jack Starbright.
I suppose she'll have started packing by now.
- Why? What do you mean? - Didn't she tell you?
Her visa ran out seven years ago. she'll be deported any day now.
Actually, we might prosecute her first.
Make an example.
Working here illegally, may mean a prison sentence.
What are you?
What kind of people are you?
Ones that normally get their way.
Liverpool street concourse now ready for departure.
stop flaking at the back. Get a move on!
Get up there!
Get moving!
Come on then, lad, look lively.
On your feet.
Gentlemen, this is our latest recruit.
He's here for two weeks' training.
Don't ask me about it, because I don't know a thing.
Ijust do as I'm told.
We have no names here. We have no ranks.
This is 'K' Unit. Fox, Bear, Eagle and Wolf.
You'll be Cub. Get him a bed.
- What the heck is this? - It's a kid.
Who the heck do you think you are? A schoolboy?
They've gotta be joking.
what's your name?
Who sent you here?!
I can't tell you.
He can't tell me.
Course you can. You must be with special Operations.
They're the only ones stupid enough to come up with something like this.
I said...
I can't tell you.
That's very good. someone been teaching you self-defense?
Ain't gonna help you here.
No pain, no gain. Move it!
You ain't gonna last two days.
Get a move on, schoolboy!
Keep moving, Cub!
DAY 4 Get up, you! stay with it.
DAY 7 That's it, one in front of the other. Hurry up.
Come on, get up!
Move it, Cub! Come on!
DAY 9 Come on!
Come on, go! Go on, go, go, go!
That's it, Cub, go on.
And all I wanna hear is the message beep
And stop.
Look at him. Come on, Cub.
You're not in the playground now, Cub. Move it!
Come on, hurry up.
Idiot!
Love forever, love is free
Let's turn forever, you and me
Windmill, windmill for the land
Is everybody in?
'K' Unit, stand fast.
You have failed the exercise.
What an idiot.
Well, well, well. What have we got here?
You idiot, Wolf.
We're finished!
We've blown the whole exercise. We'll get kicked out!
This is your fault. You had the map.
Never listens. He's always gotta be right.
Who puts a light on in the middle of an exercise? Unbelievable.
- There's a fireplace. - How did you know?
- I saw the chimney on the way in. - The kid's right.
It's clear.
You think they would leave it open if they thought we could all climb up?
You can't, you're too big.
But I can.
Go on then, Cub, up you go.
All right, mate? Cup of tea?
Oh, yeah, thanks.
- We should take that lot back to base. - No, later'll be fine.
see ya.
Fancy a nice cup of tea, boys?
shut up, sit down.
What's that lot playing at, having a kid with them?
Dunno. He looks like a schoolboy. He can only be about 14.
That's a bit young for special Forces, isn't it?
We'd better get him back to his mummy.
Yeah, he probably needs a nappy change.
Must be his bedtime. Time for his hot milk.
Boss? Are we moving?
Hold on, lad!
- Hold on, fellas! - Jump out!
Cuts. Bruises. Fractured limbs.
It's a miracle no-one was killed.
I'm very sorry, Major. We will be talking to our man -- Boy.
He's no child, Mr Blunt.
He's a lethal weapon.
He's ready.
Heard you were leaving.
Yeah, that's right.
What you did earlier...
if it weren't for you...
Here you are.
And finally, an amazing gift made to the British nation.
The stormbreaker is the most sophisticated PC of the 21st century...
and one month ago, its multi- billionaire inventor, Darrius sayle...
made his astonishing announcement.
I'm gonna give a stormbreaker to every school in the country.
And while I'm at it, I wouldn't mind giving you one, too.
Really, Mr Sayle!
- We don't trust him. - Why not?
Well, we don't trust anyone. It's sort of what we do.
We always thought that Sayle was too good to be true
so, six months ago, we sent an agent to watch him.
- Are you talking about my uncle? - Yes
Sayle has a manufacturing plant in Cornwall.
It's built on top of what used to be a tin mine.
Ian Rider went there as a security guard.
He sent us these images of the old mine entrance just outside Sayle's complex.
- His last message mentioned a virus. - A computer virus?
He was on his way to tell us, but he never arrived.
We need to get someone in there to take a look...
and this may be our last chance.
Why me?
I'll show you.
This is Kevin Blake.
He's a computer nerd.
six weeks ago he won a competition in a computer magazine.
Disc Drive World'. Do you ever read it?
No.
The first prize was a visit to Cornwall to try out the stormbreaker.
- He's due to arrive tomorrow. - It's a PR stunt.
I imagine Mr Sayle is trying to show the world that he's a nice man.
Get a kiddy in to look at the works. Now you will take his place.
Yeah, but I look nothing like him.
We've spoken to the editor.
There's just one problem.
I know nothing about computers, and I'm not a computer nerd.
But you soon will be.
There's only two days left. There's a launch at the science Museum on Friday.
70, 000 stormbreaker computers going live.
Just take a look around. But be careful of sayle.
He may seem charming... But he's about as charming...
as a snake.
Just keep your eyes open and report back.
How do I do that?
We will give you a telecommunications device.
That, and other gadgets.
I get gadgets?
Come up and see the Robopets range. Up on the third floor.
- I want one! - Yes, thank you, sir. Thank you very much.
- I want one! - Thank you.
You're so mean. Not fair.
And I suppose you want one as well, do you?
No, I'm looking for something to take to Cornwall.
To Cornwall?
Follow me.
Andrea Chicken to floor three, please. Thank you.
I keep my special toys down here...
where children aren't allowed, it rather pleases me to say.
Right, we'll start with this.
A yo-yo? Bit of a grandpa's toy, don't you think?
And your grandpa's yo-yo had a miniaturized engine with traction of up to 90 pounds ...
all in a magnetized housing with a cord of super-nylon, did it?
- No. - Batteries included?
- No. - No, I think not.
Now, here's something for you to keep it in.
- What about this? - Don't pull that!
You'll deploy the parachute. A parachute?
This is rather appropriate for you,
- Zit cream? - Put some on your finger.
Perfectly harmless, pleasantly fragranced. But...
apply it to anything metallic, and ...
It'll work its way through up to six inches of carbonized steel.
This is called a fountain pen. Not something you have much use for,
the nib can be fired from a range of up to eight meters.
The ink is sodium pentathlon.
Whomever you hit will do exactly what you want for up to six hours.
- six hours? - six hours.
I've saved the best till last. It's over here.
- Don't do that. - Why, is it dangerous?
No, it's very annoying.
A specially modified Nintendo Ds games system.
What it does depends on the cartridges you insert.
With this one, it's a PDA, a scanner and transmitter.
It's to contact us, assuming you can be bothered.
This one here turns it into a bug-finder and sonic intensifier.
You can hear conversations through solid walls for up to 250 yards.
This turns the device into a smoke bomb. There's a five second delay.
That's really cool. And what about 'Mariokart'?
It's a game. We thought you might like it for the flight.
May we remind you to keep your baggage with you at all times.
Miss Vole? I'm the editor of 'Disc Drive World'.
- Then this must be Kevin. - That's me.
- You should say goodbye now. - Well, goodbye, Kevin.
I hope you find your stay most informative.
I'm sure it will be.
I am Nadia Vole. I work for Mr Sayle. Press and public relations.
A PR?
It is a very important job.
This is Port Tallon. A fishing village.
Not if you're a fish.
Heard you were ill wish you better Sabina
Hey.
How are you?
That's pretty cool, don't you think?
I'm not sure I'd want one as a pet.
Physalia Physalia.
That's the Portuguese Man Of War.
I got that beauty in the south China sea.
I'm happy killing exotic animals, but not this one. I had to keep it.
she sort of reminds me of myself. 99 percent water, no brains and no anus.
You know, I think I'm gonna get to like you.
You know why I love her? I love her because...
she's an outsider.
she's silent and deadly. And if you came into contact with that...
you'd die a very memorable death.
I'm too young to die.
You're never too young to die.
Excuse me. Mr sayle, you have the American Ambassador on the line.
Mr Ambassador. How are you doing?
The answer is still no.
I'll tell him myself and I'll do it right now.
I'm sorry, I'm not gonna be able to...
join you for lunch, but I'm looking forward to seeing you at dinner.
It's been quite a while since I've been face-to-face with a British schoolboy.
I'm eager to hear what you think about the stormbreaker.
I'm looking forward to it,
This is Mr Grin.
seems he's cut himself shaving.
Mr Grin used to be a novelty act in a circus.
He used to catch a spinning knife in his teeth.
And?
He lost his concentration when his mother waved to him in the audience.
You take care of my boy. I'll see you later.
Are you settled in, Kevin?
Yes, thank you.
It is time for you to see the stormbreaker.
You are the first child to experience the power...
the world domination of the stormbreaker.
This model is pre-loaded with highly developed programs for the school curricula.
Please.
Does it have pinball?
There is no pinballs!
Please, be still while it scans you.
scanning commencing.
Please stand still.
I see you're using a slice matrix virtual reality software.
Yes. Who taught you about computers, - My uncle.
- He is a computer whiz-king? - No. He was a security guard.
But he died.
- And how did that happen? - I'm not sure.
But I'll find out.
Maybe. But not today.

Illegal interface.
Where is he now?
- Can't tell you. sorry. - What are you sorry about, sweetie?
Taking him out of school or trying to turn him into some kind of spy?
Alex isn't a spy. He's a 14 year old kid, lady!
Well, that's what makes him useful to us.
And what happens if he gets hurt?
What if he's killed? Could you live with that, Mrs Jones?
I worked for Ian Rider nine years. I didn't know about any of this.
- if anything happens to Alex ... - It won't.
We'll take care of him, I promise.
By the way, he...
wanted me to give you this. It's your visa, it's permanent.
Dinosaur. The name means 'terrible lizard'
160 million years ago these creatures first roamed the Earth.
The largest carnivorous dinosaur was the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Each one of its teeth was 15 centimetres long.
Good afternoon, Mr sayle, we've been expecting you.
We've prepared a demonstration for your approval.
- Is it ready for me? - Yes, sir. This way, please.
Kevin?
Here it is, sir. I do hope this satisfies your requirements.
This is a scale model of the rooftop at your London HQ.
I've incorporated a powerful nationwide transmitter...
that will give you manual override.
... a back-up system.
This system will send out a signal that will activate...
all 70, 000 computers.
Of course, it shouldn't be needed. Is it all right, sir?
excellent.
It's very good.
Warning. R-5 injection now in progress.
What are you doing down here, Kevin?
I was just wondering where this went, Miss Vole.
- What is that place? - This area is restricted
This way, please.
Okay.
You know, I was brought up on the...
on the wrong side of the tracks in a very dark
It was terrible. It was very nasty. I still have the nightmares.
- What happened? - I was lucky. I got out.
My mother won a million dollars on the state lottery.
she had me educated in the best schooling system in the world in your country.
- You were at school with the Prime - That's right.
And he treated me with the same kindness as all the others in my class.
This is the number, Miss Vole.
And this phone is registered to an address in Chelsea.
so, tell me...
Do you like the stormbreaker?
Yeah, it was cool.
Cool? Come on, man, is that all you can say?
It strikes me that you don't talk very much. You're the strong, silent type.
You don't even seem like a computer enthusiast.
And you don't look like one either.
That's funny, Mr sayle...
because I think I'd say the same
You got a point, son.
Listen, I very much enjoyed meeting you.
And I'm sure you'll have a lot to talk about when you get back to school.
And when we launch the stormbreakers tomorrow...
I'll be thinking particularly of you.
Enjoy the grub.
Do not let the spines puncture your skin.
It can result in vomiting, fever or even death.
They're a great delicacy in Japanese restaurants. The Fugu fish is one of the ...
Excuse me, I am looking for a person called Jack.
- Is this about Alex? - You are friend of Alex?
- sort of. I look after him. - This is Alex.
- so? - And this man with him?
- His father? - What is going on?
Tell me, who is this boy? What is he doing?
- Who are you? - Who is he working for?
Wait!
Now I feel like breaking laws
Go on start a civil war
Here's my fist, where's the fight?
Your world's collapsing tonight
I wanna make some noise
I wanna drop some bombs
I wanna make some noise
You tell me what can go wrong
Now I feel like dropping bombs
Black out your house if you're at home
Hurt but healed still coming on
In the mess where I'm from
I wanna make some noise
I wanna drop some bombs
I wanna make some noise
You tell me what can go wrong
Goodnight.
Mr Gregorovich. I'm glad you can join us.
I didn't know you were gonna come in person. This is the last batch.
My people wanted assurance that the operation went according to plan.
It's my plan, my operation. Why would they think anything could go wrong?
You stupid idiot!
It's okay.
The container is not compromised.
sorry.
I won't do that again.
No.
You won't.
My people don't like mistakes.
Well, I haven't got all night. Let's go to work, boys.
Back to work! All of you!
This just came from Alex Rider.
- Yassen Gregorovich. - It has to be.
I thought he was still in North Korea.
Obviously not. This is the proof you need.
The stormbreaker launch is in less than 24 hours. Cancel it.
Yes, you're right. For once. I'll put a call into Downing street.
Get Alex out.
There's no need. He'll be on a plane tomorrow.
You can meet him, if you like. Take him for an ice-cream.
Well, he's done very well. He deserves a treat.
Alex Rider.
I suspected him from the moment he arrived.
And his uncle was Ian Rider, the security guard that was actually a spy.
I want you to go to his room...
I want you to wake him up, gently ...
then I want you to kill him.
You've gotta be kidding me.
Warning. R-5 injection now in progress.
What are you doing here?
- Who are you? - I'm Kevin Blake. I was invited here.
It's a good act. You do it very well.
- But you should not have come here. - We can talk.
I don't think so.
Yes, we can.
Don't drop that.
R-5. What is it?
Put it back.
The way out.
Now.
Going somewhere?
Kevin?
If this is how you treat the winner, I'd hate to see what happened to the runner-up.
You're not Kevin Blake. You're Alex Rider.
Your uncle pretended to be a security man. Yassen Gregorovich dealt with him.
That's right. And MI6 sent you to take his place?
shame on those people, sending a 14 year old boy to do their dirty work.
Not very British, Not very cricket.
What are you doing here? Why are you putting a virus into the stormbreaker?
it's not a computer virus.
It's the real thing.
It's called R-5. It's been genetically modified.
Why are you doing this? Do you know what it's like...
to be a foreigner in this country? For me, that was slow death.
It wasn't pretty. I was derided from the day I arrived here.
Especially at school.
The kids weren't very nice. Kids can be cruel.
They called me 'trailer boy'.
Do I look like a trailer boy to you?
Darrius smell. That's what they called me
- You know why? - Because you didn't wash?
No, it's okay.
No, it's because they were snobs. And I hated all of them.
They made my life miserable. And there was one kid in particular.
And do you know who this kid grew up to be?
The Prime Minister. That's who.
I'm used to it. My whole life I've been treated that way.
so this is what it's all about?
- Revenge? - Revenge can be good.
Because in a few hours at the science Museum...
my old friend, the Prime Minister ...
he's gonna press a button, and you know what's gonna happen?
That button's gonna connect all the stormbreakers on my wireless network.
And at the same moment, it's gonna release a virus...
straight into the classes packed with "British school children".
You're gonna kill thousands of innocent people.
No, of course not. I'm gonna kill millions.
You're not being serious?
so you were bullied. Lots of people are bullied.
But it doesn't change them into raging psychopaths.
You should be careful how you talk to me.
That was a good shot. Actually, it was a near miss.
I'd love to hang out here and shoot the breeze with you, but...
I've got an important appointment in London, so...
I'm gonna leave you to Nadia. I'll see you guys when it's over.
Cheerio, old boy.
- They won't listen to us. - What?
You know the Government view on intelligence. They'd sooner trust an Ouija board.
They're ignoring my advice and going ahead with the ceremony.
- What about security? I'm throwing a net around the science Museum.
What about Alex? He wasn't on the twelve o'clock plane.
Well, let's hope he can look after himself.
Let me out!
The jellyfish cannot attack you. It has, no brains.
But you will tire soon. And drift into its embrace, and then...
A souvenir for Mr Sayle.
say "cheese".
What are you doing?
You damn kid!
Intruder alert.
Intruder alert. Intruder alert.
Mr Grin, you have received clearance from French Air Control.
Sabina, remember to keep your heels down.
Mr Grin?
I want you to fly me to London as fast as you can.
