Stormbreaker Page #4

- 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 -

right here in your country.

You were at school with the Prime Minister.

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.

Tell me,

did 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.

I mean, I know you're the strong, silent type.

You don't even seem

like a computer enthusiast.

You don't look like one either.

That's funny, Mr Sayle,

cos I think I'd say the same about you.

Well, hey... 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.

Though 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 a 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!

Alright Alright

Yah! Yah!

# Now I feel like breaking laws

# Go start a civil war...

# Now I feel like dropping bombs

# Black out your house

if you're at home...

Good night.

Ah, 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 to be assured

that the operation had gone according to plan.

Oh, your people.

It's my plan. It's my operation.

Why would your people think

anything could go wrong?

Stand back

- You stupid idiot!

It's OK.

The container is not compromised.

Sorry. I won't do that again.

No. You won't.

My people don't like mistakes.

Well, I ain'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 we need.

The Stormbreaker launch

is in less than 24 hours.

- Cancel it.

- Yes, you're right.

For once.

I'll put a call in to Downing Street.

- Get Alex out.

- There's no need.

He'll be on a plane at 12:00 tomorrow.

You can meet him if you like -

take him for an ice cream.

Well, he's done very well. He deserves a treat.

Ah, 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 got to be kidding.

Warning:
R-5 injection now in progress.

Warning:
R-5 injection now in progress.

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.

Intruder alert. Intruder alert.

Alert. Intruder, level 8.

Security to level 8.

Going somewhere?

Kevin?

If this is how you treat the winner,

I'd hate to be the runner-up.

You're not Kevin Blake. You're Alex Rider.

Your uncle was pretending to be a security man.

Yassen Gregorovich dealt with him.

That's right.

And Ml6 sent you to take his place?

Shame on those people,

sending a 14-year-old boy to do their dirty work.

Not very British, I'd have said.

Not very cricket, no.

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, son, that was slow death.

It wasn't pretty. I was mocked,

I was derided from the day I arrived here.

Especially at school.

The kids weren't very nice. Kids can be cruel.

Man, they called me "trailer boy".

Do I look like a trailer boy to you?

Huh?

Darrius Smell.

That's what they called me.

Do you know why?

- Because you didn't wash?

- It's OK.

It's because they were snobs.

I hated all of them.

They made my life miserable.

And there was one kid, one kid in particular.

Do you know who this kid grew up to be?

The Prime Minister. That's who.

Hey, look, 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 schoolchildren.

You're going to kill

thousands of innocent people.

Oh, 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.

Listen, Alex, I'd love to hang out here

and shoot the breeze with you,

but I've got a rather important appointment,

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.

You know the Government view on Intelligence.

They'd sooner trust a Ouija board.

They're going ahead with the ceremony.

- What about security?

- A net around the Museum,

but it may be beside the point.

What about Alex?

He wasn't on the 12 o'clock plane.

Let's hope he can look after himself.

Let me out.

The jellyfish cannot attack you, Alex.

It has, as you said, no brains.

But you will tire soon.

You will drift into its embrace, and then...

A souvenir for Mr Sayle.

Say cheese.

What are you doing?

Verdammtes Kind!

Mr Grin, you have received clearance

from French Air Control.

Sabina, remember to keep your heels down.

Mr Grin?

Mr Grin?

All right, Mr Grin, I want you to fly me

to London as fast as you can.

It's red button day.

In a few minutes,

the Prime Minister will press the button

to activate the Stormbreaker computers

in schools nationwide.

Darrius Sayle has insisted that the Prime

Minister be the one to press the button.

In fact, he's made it

button fingerprint-sensitive,

so nobody else can take his place.

Let's cross live now to the Science Museum.

Ladies and gentlemen,

the Stormbreaker will be launched

in five minutes.

- Where's Alex?

- We don't know.

You promised to look after him.

- We don't have time for this now.
