Quotes 

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

  Mrs. Jones : It already has.

• Alan Blunt : Mrs Jones.

  Mrs. Jones : Yes?

  Alan Blunt : I know you don't approve but I do hope this isn't going to affect your judgement.

  Mrs. Jones : You think I'm being unprofessional? You've lost an agent. Nobody gets the better of Alan Blunt, but somebody just did. And your answer to that is to use a grieving boy as an asset? To say I don't agree doesn't even begin to cover it.

  Alan Blunt : I see.

  Mrs. Jones : No. I don't think you do.

  Alan Blunt : I want you to be Alex Rider's handler.

  Mrs. Jones : Agents have handlers. Not teenagers.

• Crawley : The reports states that the subject appears to have been trained to withstand interrogation.

  Alan Blunt : Perhaps he has.

  Smithers : It would appear Ian thought of everything.

  Mrs. Jones : [Entering the room]  Was I literally going to be the last person to know about this? You said, I was his handler.

  Alan Blunt : And you are.

  Mrs. Jones : Then don't ever go behind my back again with my agent.

  Alan Blunt : We needed to be sure.

  Mrs. Jones : And are you?

  Alan Blunt : This operation must remain entirely between the four of us. No traceable records.

• 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.

• Wolf : He was scared

  Mrs. Jones : Isn't that normal for when people meet you?

  Wolf : He was scared. He wasn't letting it take him over. He was using it against me, using it to hold out. Like he's been training for this his whole life.

  Mrs. Jones : Yes, I read your report.

  Wolf : Yeah, he had no idea who we were

  Mrs. Jones : And?

  Wolf : He doesn't want it at all. He's not there because he's signed up. He doesn't know this is training. He's there because someone's forcing him. Someone's got a gun to his head and I think that someone's you and I wanna know why.

  Mrs. Jones : It's none of your business.

  Wolf : You made it my business when you put me in room with him. If he ends up dead you know it's on you right?
