All language subtitles for Alex.Rider.S02E03.WEBRip.x265-ION265[eztv.re]

I first saw him at the school

and now he's on the tube,
he's following me.

- So how much longer is it gonna take?
- It will be very soon.

- So what's your dad's book about?
- Damian Cray.

The Feathered Serpent guy.

Everyone in the world's obsessed
with Feathered Serpent apart from you.

Dad.

Alex, No more stories
about bombs or men with scars.

His name is Yassen Gregorovich.

You need to find him.

As long as he's around,
none of us are safe.

It's a cyberattack! Shut it down!

It's the work of one particular hacker.
Smoking Mirror.

Proceeding to basement.

Hey. You!

Hey! Stop, stop!

Smoking Mirror.

There's been a misunderstanding.

Everyone get away
from the machines, right now!

In eight days...

the world is going to change.

You fought the Dead Gods,
you defeated the Sun King.

But nothing can prepare you
for what is coming.

The world's best-selling game
reforged in flame.

Will you cower in the darkness...

or stand and face the wrath
of the Feathered Serpent?

You have eight days to decide.

- And we're clear.
- Fantastic.

That was good, right?
I mean, it felt great.

Metrics are excellent.

Live broadcast
was definitely the way to go.

- I'm gonna leave the mic here, okay?
- Thank you.

Thanks, everyone! Great work.

- Thank you.
- Thank you, Mr. Cray.

Hey, when are we in London?

We leave 0900 tomorrow.

You've got lunchtime interviews
for the UK news stations.

I think we should follow this up
when we're there,

a little something extra.

- A little something extra?
- Yeah, something special.

You know, just a few key online voices,
top players, that kind of thing.

Get that kid, what's his name? Um...

- Yeah, the one with the gaming channel.
- Jonas.

Jonas. Yeah, get him.

And, uh, who's top of the leaderboard?

- It's still K7.
- Yeah, get them too.

We'll livestream it,
get a little buzz going.

A face-to-face with the fans?

We'd need more than 48 hours
to set that up.

We'd need a venue, security, publicity...

Come on. You can do it, Charlie.
That's what you're for.

- We'll host it at the London office.
- There'd still be a lot to set up.

Come on, get excited about this.

Behind the scenes,
peek behind the curtain.

It'll be fantastic.

We'll make sure
the whole world's watching.

Hey, Charlie.

There's a research station
at the South Pole

where they don't see another human being
for six months at a time.

There are indigenous peoples
on islands in the South Pacific

where they have no contact at all
with the outside world.

There are hermits living in
the bottom of caves in utter darkness.

By next week...

let's make sure that all those people

have pre-ordered their copy
of Feathered Serpent 2.

In eight days' time...

we're gonna change the world.

In a week from now,
the president arrives in London.

What the hell do you suggest I tell her
about Smoking Mirror?

That sometimes there are unforeseen
variables in a tactical situation.

In other words, you screwed up.

You spent six months over this
and never found your man.

- We found him in a week.
- And lost him in a minute.

Well, we'll just have to
find him again, won't we?

That guy's place
was full of computer gear.

That's not someone who's giving up.
That's someone who's active and planning.

If there is another attack coming,
we need to know about it,

we need to stop it.

Smoking Mirror was untraceable
because we didn't know who he really was.

That's changed.
He has a name now. Simon Mariat.

Footprints we can track. We're on this.

Okay.

One other thing.

That kid.

You knew him.

Who is he?

Don't worry about him. He's nobody.

They lied to me.

Yassen Gregorovich isn't in Myanmar.
I saw him in Cornwall.

- Alex.
- They used me, Jack.

They nearly got me killed.

And now that they don't need me anymore...

You should have heard him.
"You're not an agent. Go home."

He has a point.

- You're on his side?
- I wish you never met Alan Blunt.

I could never be on his side.
But you are not an agent.

Ed was nearly killed because of me.

What if I'd said something, warned him?

I could have stopped it.

You have school. You have a life.

I have a job.

We are not a part of this.
We should leave this alone.

I'm sorry, but people are in danger
and I can help them.

That's the truth of it,
and that's all that matters.

And if that means me having
to do the Department's job for them,

then that's what I have to do.

Oh, my God.

- Okay, thanks. I'll call you later.
- Yes, ma'am.

- Is there anything recoverable?
- Nothing.

Smoking Mirror
triggered the self-destruct button

the moment he was clear.

All the drives are dead.

- It's all gone.
- Well, he must have left something behind.

Shopping receipts. Rubbish.
Something physical.

He lives off the grid.

There's no driving license,
no passport, no bank account.

At least not in the name
of Simon Marriat anyway.

He must have gone somewhere.
We busted his home address.

Where is he?

He may have somewhere else,
or he could be using a hackerspace.

A survival shelter, if you will.

He could stay there for weeks,
maybe months.

We don't have weeks or months.

We need him now.

Come on, the clock's ticking.

Well, well, well.

Mr. Mirror, I was wondering
if you were gonna show up.

You got people looking
for you all over London.

You're lucky to be alive.

Have any of them been here?

They'd have to find here first.

How long you planning on staying?

I've booked a flight to Montenegro
a week from now.

Good luck with that one, honey.
They put out an all-ports warning.

High-priority alert.

- Well, then a while.
- Okay.

You know the rates.
Payment via the blockchain.

I'll get my bots to talk to your bots.

Room four.

If anyone calls, I don't exist.

Question.

Go on.

Alex Rider.

That's not a question.

He's your agent.

No. Not anymore. You heard Blunt.

He came to us for help.

You don't think we owe him a duty of care?

Yes. Actually, I do.

But what if Blunt is right?

What if Alex
has been psychologically damaged

because of how we used him?

What we did to him?

I think the best thing we can do for Alex
right now is keep him away from us.

Alex.

Alex.

You have got to see this.

- What am I looking at?
- No, no, no. Wait for it, wait for it.

- Ooh, it caught the whole fight!
- Yeah, I've seen it.

I was there.

Um, look, Tom, I need your help.

Yeah, okay, cool. We going after
the exploding computer guy?

- Uh, Smoking Mirror?
- The one that got away.

Yeah, but it's not that.

Um, I need to bail after registration.
Can you cover for me?

Mate, I thought you meant
like actually help, like do something.

- Not just, "Alex is at the dentist."
- I'm meeting Sabina.

She's all on her own.

It's just a couple of hours.
I'll be back before lunch.

Promise.

Yeah. Cool. Whatever, man.
I got you covered.

We're wanted. JM.

What did we do?

What did we do?

My goodness. Look at the two of you.

Nobody's being fired, you know.

You can unclench.

All right, listen.

You're doing well
on the indefinite right to remain cases.

Despite the time off in Cornwall.

You'll need to stay on top of those,
but I have something else for you as well.

It's a little bigger,
but I'm sure you can cope.

The East London
Drug Rehabilitation Center.

It's a small charity helping young people
with substance abuse.

Last year, they approached
The Damian Cray Foundation for funding.

- He's making a donation?
- Better than that.

He wants to bring them in,
make them part of the foundation.

So where do we come in?

He wants us to prepare the deal.

Really? I thought we were
about helping the underdogs.

Cray is in charge of a global empire,
he must already have lawyers.

The biggest, the best.

Very impressive, very intimidating.

But this is a small London charity.

Oh, we're the local guys
with a friendly face.

Or rather, two friendly faces.

I want you to work on this... together.

Dad moved in here
after he and Mom... you know.

Nice.

It's better with Dad in it.

Someone's been here.

- Are you sure?
- Yeah.

I mean, it's always a mess.
But this isn't his mess.

I just know.

- We should call the police.
- No.

The door was locked.
The alarm was on. They won't believe us.

- Like they didn't believe you in Cornwall.
- Exactly.

If someone's been here...

we need to find out
what they were looking for.

- Where are you up to?
- Temple of the Dead Gods.

This group I'm in is just crap.

You should join.

What, 'cause I'd up your game,
or 'cause I'd fit right in?

- I'll leave you to decide.
- Yeah. Just a sec.

- What you doing?
- Nothing. Just...

- We could really use your help here.
- Yeah, sure, just a sec.

- Damn. We're wiped.
- Sorry. Um...

Do you think that's an 8 or a B?

This is what was so important?
Motorbikes?

It's a B.

- Well, look at it properly.
- I don't need to. It's a B.

How can you tell?

Because British format licenses
never start with a number,

they start with the DVLA memory tag,

which is two letters indicating
where your plate was registered,

so that can't be an 8, it's a B,

which is for Birmingham, which is where
your number plate was registered.

It's actually pretty much
common knowledge.

- Well, I didn't know that.
- Yeah, but you're pretty.

See you.

Nothing about Cray in any of these.

Hmm.

Did your dad ever mention
someone called Mirror?

Smoking Mirror?

What sort of name is that?

- Does it ring any bells?
- No.

Never heard of him.

Only one week to wait
until the launch of Feathered Serpent 2,

and anticipation is,
to put it mildly, running a little high.

I know. I made the damn thing

and even I can't wait for it to come out
so I can play it.

It's good to have you back
in London, Mr. Cray.

Damian, please.

Uh, well, it's great to be back.

I was born here, grew up here,
lived half my life here.

I mean, London's still my home,
which is why, in seven days' time,

I wanna be right here
in Britain's capital city

when Feathered Serpent 2 launches
and we change the world.

Isn't changing the world
a lot to ask of a video game?

I know, right?
But here's how we're gonna start.

Every penny from every copy sold

is gonna go straight
to help the war on drugs.

We're not gonna make any profit on this.
In fact, we're gonna run it at a loss.

This is personal for you, isn't it?

Yeah. It is. Um...

My brother was a drug addict.

His name was Joe
and drug addiction killed him.

Just like it kills hundreds
of thousands of people every year

and enslaves millions more
in ways that you or I can only imagine.

But we're gonna end all that.

You're really going to end drug addiction?

You're gonna have to trust me on this.

But, yes, it's true.

Anything on Cray you can find.

There's a ton of stuff in here,
but it's all...

- Wait. Here it is.
- There.

It's empty.

So everything your dad wrote
about Damian Cray is either burned...

or stolen.

Or deleted.

And he found something big enough,
dangerous enough...

that someone tried to kill him to hide it.

Tom!

There you are.

What are you doing out here?
Didn't you cover for me?

I did my best.
You were meant to be back before lunch.

Listen, do you still think this
Smoking Mirror dude's important?

Yeah, he's important.

He's the link.

The hospital. The Department.

I think Sabina's dad even met him
before he was hurt.

- He's right in the middle of everything.
- Okay. Then you're gonna wanna see this.

That's his bike.
It's a 1200 cc twin-engine Triumph.

That's him doing his big getaway.

And that, that's his number plate.

Nice.

Nice one, Tom.

Seriously. Nice one.

Yeah, well, I wanted
to get you a name as well,

but the police
wouldn't really wanna help on that.

No, they wouldn't.

I know someone who might.

A flat white, please. Skinny.

And what'll you have, Alex?

How'd you see me?

Your surveillance techniques
could use a little brushing up.

- I'll work on it.
- Yeah.

You better.

I need to know who owns this bike.

- May I ask why?
- You can ask.

Someone's learning.

Should be easy enough.

Where did you get this?

Outside the house.

- The raid.
- Yeah.

Well...

look at you.

The bike is registered to a man
called Simon Mariat.

Smoking Mirror's real name.

So? Who is he?

- Why do you need to know?
- I got beaten up because of this guy.

The least you could do
is tell me who he is.

He's a computer hacker.

One of the best in the world.
He's also a wanted man.

So where is he now?

We don't know.

But this...

This is very helpful.

Hey, everyone. How's it going?
Everything set for launch day?

We have a problem
with the packet structure.

We're having a good day, Evelyn,
a really good day.

Charlie says so,
and we shouldn't mess with that.

- What's the problem?
- It's a synchronization issue.

It's simple. We're fixing it.

When will it be fixed?

I have Amsterdam on it.

All teams. Two hours. Maybe three.

Two hours. Maybe three.
Well, that's okay then.

That's fine. What are we worried about?
We still have seven days.

Just make sure it's fixed.
Make sure it's rock solid.

We don't get any second chances with this.

There's something else you need to see.

Okay. Show me.

- Wait. Isn't this the guy who...?
- He's writing a book about you.

It says he's in a critical condition.

But not dead.

That's terrible. Poor guy.

- Charlie, had you seen this?
- No.

No idea.

You know, we should send something.

Find out what hospital he's in
and send some flowers.

A big bunch.

Simon Mariat has a motorcycle.

- How did we miss that?
- We didn't.

He spelled his name differently
on the registration.

One R instead of two. It's very clever.

This is good. This is how we find him.

I've already set up the systems.

The moment that license plate
hits the CCTV grid,

the information will be passed
straight to us.

There'll be a slight lag,

but wherever he goes,
we'll be right behind.

Very good.

How did you work out he had a motorbike?

Hmm?

Ah. Um...

One of the items that turned up during
the house search was thermal underwear.

In the bathroom.

Who wears thermal underwear?
Skiers, bikers.

I took a chance.

Hey, Tom. When did you move in?

- Ah, food's better here.
- I'm making dinner.

I take that back.

- How was your day?
- It was fine.

I kind of got a promotion.

- They made you partner?
- Not quite.

But I got my own thing. With Dan.
We're working with Damian Cray.

Cray.

What is it?

Nothing.

Oh, I'll go.

Alex Rider?

Um...

Yeah.

Cheers.

Did you order pizza?

- No.
- Well, there's ten of them.

- What?
- Yeah.

Anchovies. I hate anchovies.

Hello?

Hello? Who is this?

Can you hear me? Is anyone there?

Hello?

Hello?

- Wait.
- There's no one there.

What the hell is going on?

Alex! What is this?

Who's doing this?

Smoking Mirror.

We're being hacked.

I can help you.

Yes, you do.

They know who you are. So do I.

Simon Mariat.

I know about Damian Cray.

Alex...

What's this got to do with Damian Cray?

I don't know.

Smoking Mirror does.

He knows where you live, man.

- That's kind of freaky.
- I know.

But the thing is, if this guy doesn't
wanna be found, then what can we do?

Maybe he's changed his mind.

There's a disused industrial
hangar on North Crescent Avenue.

Leave your phone and come now.
Come alone.

You've got one hour.

Oh...

Was that him?

Yeah.

Um...

Here.

- Dentist?
- Yeah. Dentist.

- Where you going?
- I got a meeting.

An actual meeting?

I hope you know what you're doing.

And there you are. We've got him.
Positive lock on the plates.

- Where?
- Angel, heading east.

There's a slight delay, but wherever
he goes, we'll be right behind him.

I'm looking for a friend.

Nothing from Collier Street,
Easton Street, Wynford Street,

Marlborough Gardens
and Wakefield Road.

- Have we lost him?
- No.

This is the placement
of the traffic cameras in the area

he was last seen entering.

If he hasn't passed through any of them,
it means he's stopped in this circle.

Right. Get everyone in that zone.
We know what he looks like. Find him.

How far is it from here?

If you're lucky with traffic, 20 minutes.

Let's go.

Smoking Mirror.

Simon Mariat.

Alex Rider.

Alex Friend.

Unit Two, Control. Do you have anything?

Negative. No contact.

He's here somewhere.

Who's he meeting?

- Have you got a phone?
- No.

Nothing electronic?

Do you have any idea how dangerous he is?

Do you have any idea
how much I've risked coming here?

But you came.

Nobody knows the truth except me.

I know.

I've seen what Cray's capable of.

Ed was just a journalist.

But you, you're some kind of asset.

I was thinking, you could bring me in
to your government friends.

Get them to, I don't know, cut a deal
in exchange for what I know.

If you've been telling me the truth.

So prove it.

Tell me what you know about Damian Cray.

I was with Ed in Cornwall
the day he was nearly killed.

He was writing a book about Cray.

I know that.

- You helped him?
- Yes. Go on.

I went to his house. It's been searched.

All his notes,
everything in the cloud, it's all gone.

Yes? And?

Is that it?

Is that all you've got?!

Oh, my God.

Shh.

What?

What? What is it?

They're here.

- Run.
- What?

Run!

I've been looking for you.

You're a very hard man to find, Simon.
What are you doing here?

Listen, please.
You don't have to do this, you know.

I can be useful. To you, you know.

I know things. All sorts of things.

Well, that's the problem.

Whoa!

Alex...

We seem to be making a habit out of this.

Arriving too late.

It won't happen again.
