Quotes 

• Alex Rider : So, when does it all like start for real?

  Mrs. Jones : It already has.

• Alan Blunt : Alex, we lie to people to protect them. You shouldn't blame him.

  Alex Rider : I don't.

• Alex Rider : I don't want to do this.

  Jack Starbright : Then don't. With the footage you got its proof, we own them now.

  Alex Rider : I have to. Not for them. For Ian.

  Jack Starbright : Sweetie, I promise you, Ian would've wanted you a million miles away from those people.

  Alex Rider : 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.

• Wolf : Hello Alex.

  Alex Rider : Where are we?

  Wolf : Somewhere nobody will ever find you. Do you understand? I'm going to 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 gunna be okay. Do you understand.

  [Alex nods] 

  Wolf : . Who did your uncle Ian work for?

  Alex Rider : What?

  Wolf : You heard me. Answer the question and we're done. What was your uncle's job?

  Alex Rider : He worked in a bank.

  Wolf : Bad choice.

• Smithers : I want to talk to you about your uncle's death.

  Alex Rider : I'm okay

  Smithers : 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.

  Alex Rider : Who are you?

  Smithers : Geoffrey Daniels. Foreign and Commonwealth Office. Alex, I understand that the last few days must have been very distressing for you. You should be with your friends and family. Coming to terms with what must be a terrible loss.

  Alex Rider : Can I see some ID?

  Smithers : What?

  Alex Rider : First you're a grief counsellor. Now you're foreign office. I'd just like to be sure.

  Smithers : You're quite right.

  [Hands Alex his passport] 

• Alan Blunt : Now we know how you perform under pressure. I think you did very well.

  Alex Rider : 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

  Alan Blunt : Sounds as if we both want the same things.

  Alex Rider : And if you threaten my friends again, I'll find a way to hurt you.

  Alan Blunt : Are we done?

• Jack Starbright : And you know what I really don't get. Is how Mr Blunt from the bank is in the middle of all this. You see I get how he knows about hedge funds and investments but I don't get how he knows about police and social services. Do you want to explain that to me?

  Alex Rider : Can we talk about this later?

  Jack Starbright : What did he say to you in the car?

  Alex Rider : I'm gunna be late for school.

  Jack Starbright : Don't think I don't know when you're keeping things from me. You can't fool me like you fool your uncle.

  Alex Rider : Objection, Your Honor, badgering the witness.

  Jack Starbright : Alright later. But we're not done with this, Okay?

  Alex Rider : Okay.

• Smithers : Alex.

  Alex Rider : You?

  Smithers : 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.

  Alex Rider : What are you doing here?

  Smithers : Get in. Let me help you out of here.

  Alex Rider : No.

  [Compound lights come on. Daniels pulls his gun on Alex] 

  Smithers : I did warn you.

  Alex Rider : Shoot me. Go on. Go on, shoot me. Yeah, I didn't think so. Did I pass? So, did I pass?

  [Mrs Jones arrives in a car] 

  Mrs. Jones : Smithers, what on earth is going on?

  Alex Rider : Smithers?

  Mrs. Jones : Stand down. This mission is now terminated. RTB for debrief. Come on Alex, I'll take you home. Alex?

  Wolf : [to Mrs Jones]  Hey. You and I should talk.

  Mrs. Jones : Just put it in your report.

• Mrs. Jones : Two deaths. Two teenagers. One School.

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

  Alan Blunt : Because the only people that can get into Point Blanc are troubled teenagers.

  Mrs. Jones : You take a look around. You don't take any risks and you report back anything you think could be relevant.

  Alex Rider : Relevant?

  Mrs. Jones : Yes. How they're treating the students. Are they using the normal curriculum? Is there any unusual behaviour? 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.

  Alex Rider : You said two deaths. It's three. My uncle died because of this.

  Alan Blunt : 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.

• Smithers : Now we keep trying to shut the department down for good, but Blunt, so far, has been untouchable. Until now.

  Alex Rider : What's changed?

  Smithers : You. Alex. Has blunt asked you to work for him as an agent? Using a school boy in the field is not just illegal, it demonstrates a dangerous lack of judgement. And we could use this to shut the department down for good. What did Alan Blunt ask you to do? Alex?

  Tom Harris : [Tom enters the room]  There you are, sorry um

  Alex Rider : No, it's fine, we were just finished.

  Smithers : 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.

• Wolf : You can go home. Right now, if you want, Alex. What is Point Blanc?

  Alex Rider : It's where you can't miss, arsehole.
