So good of you to come see me, Mr Bond.

Particularly on such short notice.

If you can't trust a Swiss banker, what's the world come to?

Bon. Now that we're all comfortable,

why don't you sit down?

It was not easy, but...

I have retrieved the money.

No doubt Sir Robert will be pleased to see it again.

At the current exchange rate minus certain unforeseeable expenses.

Voila - the receipt.

Would you like to check my figures?

Oh, I'm sure they're perfectly rounded.

It's all there. I didn't come for the money.

The report Sir Robert bought was stolen from an MI6 agent,

who was killed for it.

I wanna know who killed him.

Terrible tragedy.

I just want a name.

I am merely the middleman,

I'm just trying to do the honourable thing,

returning the money to its rightful owner.

We know how difficult that can be for a Swiss banker.

I am offering you the opportunity to walk out with the money, Mr Bond.

I'm giving you the opportunity to walk out with your life.

Looking at our present situation strictly as a banker,

I would have to say the numbers are not on your side.

Perhaps you fail to take into account my...

hidden assets. BEEP

Excellent work.

Be careful, M, I might try to steal him from you.

Construction's not exactly my... speciality.

Quite the opposite, in fact.

Best to the family.

He's a man of great integrity.

Thank you.

Any leads on the sniper?

Not one. Professional job.

She must be working for someone. Is this the stolen report?

Yes, classified. From the Russian Atomic Energy Department.

Why would King want this for?

He was led to believe the document was a secret report,

identifying the terrorists who'd attacked a new oil pipeline

he's building in the region.

Interesting.

But it doesn't exactly explain

PIPED LAMENT

That's right.

Hello, my dear.

Who's that young woman?

King's daughter, Elektra.

The money was dipped in urea. It was a compacted fertiliser bomb.

Having handled the money, the water on 007's hands

when he touched the ice started a chemical reaction.

In one of the notes, the metal anti-counterfeiting strip

had been replaced with magnesium which acted as a detonator.

And King's lapel pin was switched for a copy

which contained a radio transmitter to trigger the blast.

In other words, he set off the bomb that killed him.

We know it was someone close to King.

And our only lead committed suicide on that balloon.

But given the size of King's organisation

it could be anyone, anywhere.

M.

This will not stand.

We will not be terrorised by cowards

who would murder an innocent man and use us as the tool.

We'll find the people who committed this atrocity.

We'll follow them to the farthest ends of the earth, if needs be.

And we will bring them to justice.

Tanner! Sorry, James.

M says you're off the active duty list

until you're cleared by medical.

Dislocated collar bone. If any more tendons snap

I'm afraid you're going to be out of action for weeks.

HE SIGHS Molly...

I need a clean bill of health.

You have to clear me... for duty.

James...

..that wouldn't really be... Ethical?

Practical. Smart. Mm-hm.

Well, let's just...

skirt the issue, shall we? SMACKS LIPS

You'd have to promise to call me... HE GRUNTS

..this time. Whatever the doctor orders.

I suppose, if you stayed in constant contact...

Of course.

If you showed sufficient stamina...

..at all kinds of... Strenuous... activity.

BAGPIPES WHEEZE

I suppose we all have to pay the piper some time.

Right, Q?

Oh, pipe down, 007!

Was it something I said? No.

Something you destroyed. My fishing boat.

For my retirement... away from you.

BEEP

Now, I want to introduce you to the young fellow

I'm grooming to follow me.

Ah. FABRIC RIPS

Helps if you open the door.

And you might be...?

This is 007.

If you're Q, does that make him R?

Ah, yes, the legendary 007 wit.

MOTOR STARTS Or at least half of it.

Now, I dare say, 007,

that you've met your match with this machine.

Yeah? New model? Improved specs?

I thought you were on the inactive roster.

Some kind of injury? Yes, well, we'll see about that.

So... As I was saying,

the very latest in interception counter-measures.

Titanium armour, a multi-tasking heads-up display,

AND six beverage cup holders.

All in all, rather stocked.

Fully loaded, I think is the term.

I think... You're not here to think.

You're here to do what I tell you.

Now, go and put on the coat and demonstrate it for 007.

But of course.

Now, watch closely, please, 007.

The right arm goes in the right sleeve, thus,

and the left arm in the left sleeve, thus.

Now, note closely, please: pockets, poppers and zipper.

Take the lower part of the zipper

and insert it into the appropriate... Oh, pull the tag.

You said...

MUFFLED YELLING

MUFFLED: Q!

He seems well suited for the job. Q CHUCKLES

You're not retiring any time soon...

..are you?

Now, pay attention, 007.

I've always tried to teach you two things.

First, never let them see you bleed.

And the second?

Always have an escape plan.

BEEPING

TV: 'Good evening. The Elektra King kidnap ordeal is over.

'The Cyprus authorities say she has escaped

'after shooting dead two of her captors, and is...'

He shouted...

..shouted all the time.

'Level one. Clearance required. Level one. Clearance required.'

M: Yes, 007?

Tell me about the kidnapping of Elektra King.

I wasn't aware you had an assignment on this case.

I brought the money in that killed King.

Don't make this personal. I'm not. Are you?

You're the only one who could seal her file.

Will you excuse us?

I will not tolerate insubordination, 007.

What happened?

After Elektra King was kidnapped...

..her father tried to deal with it on his own...

with no success.

So he came to me.

As you are aware, we do not negotiate with terrorists.

And against every instinct in my heart,

every...

emotion as a mother,

I told him not to pay the ransom.

I thought we had time on our side.

You used the girl as bait.

Yes.

The money in King's briefcase was precisely the same amount

as the ransom demand for his daughter.

It's a message.

Your terrorist is back.

Victor Zokas. AKA...

Renard. The anarchist.

He was operating in Moscow in 1996. Pyongyang, North Korea before that.

And he's been spotted in Afghanistan, Bosnia,

Iraq, Iran, Beirut and Cambodia.

Hm. All the romantic vacation spots.

His only goal is chaos.

After Robert came to me, I sent 009 to kill Renard.

Before he completed the mission, Elektra escaped.

A week later, our man caught up with the target.

He put a bullet in his head.

That bullet's still there.

How did he survive?

The doctor who saved Renard couldn't get the bullet out.

So Renard killed him. Hm.

It's moving through the medulla oblongata,

killing off his senses.

Touch, smell... He feels no pain.

He can push himself harder, longer, than any normal man.

The bullet will kill him,

but he'll grow stronger every day until the day he dies.

Robert is dead.

MI6 is humiliated.

He's had his revenge.

Not quite.

Renard had three enemies in that kidnapping.

And there's still one he hasn't touched.

Elektra.

M.

I see the good doctor has cleared you.

Notes you have "exceptional stamina".

I'm sure she was touched by his dedication.

To the job in hand.

007, I want you to go to Elektra.

She's taken over the construction

of her father's oil pipeline in the Caspian Sea.

Find who switched that pin.

If your instincts are right, Renard will be back.

And Elektra will be the next target.

The worm on the hook again.

She doesn't need to know it's the same man that may be after her.

Don't frighten her.

Shadow operation? Remember...

shadows stay in front or behind.

Never on top.

You, go back. Leave. This area's closed.

I'm here to see Elektra King.

James Bond, Universal Exports.

And I'm Davidov, chief of security.

As you can see, we're having some problems with the villagers.

I told Miss King to stay at her office in Baku.

Oh, hell!

Miss King, I told you to stay... I know what you told me.

HE SPEAKS RUSSIAN

THEY TALK IN RUSSIAN

SHE WHISPERS IN RUSSIAN

Blagaya vest'! Chasovnya spasena!

CHEERING

Send the pipe around.

It's going to take weeks and cost millions.

Your father approved this route. Then my father was wrong. Do it.

Davidov... I'll talk to her.

I saw you at my father's funeral.

Yes. I'm sorry.

M told me she was sending someone, Mr...?

Bond. James Bond.

Did you know my father?

I met him once, briefly.

You seem to have inherited his touch for diplomacy.

Saving the church. And avoiding the bloodshed.

A hundred years ago,

my mother's family discovered the oil here.

When the Soviet Union was formed,

the Communists spent the next 70 years

plundering our countryside for it.

I saw the mess they left on the drive in.

The new pipeline will guarantee our future.

But it would be a crime to destroy what little is left of our past.

But you didn't come here to talk about oil, did you? No.

Tell me...

..have... have you ever lost a loved one, Mr Bond?

M sent me because we're afraid your life might be in danger.

Please. I want to show you something.

I'm trying to build an 800-mile pipeline through Turkey,

past the terrorists in Iraq, Iran and Syria.

Up here, the Russians have three competing pipelines,

and they'll do anything to stop me.

My father was murdered, the villagers are rioting.

And you, Mr Bond, have come all this way

to tell me that I might be in danger?

We suspect there might be an insider.

My father's pin. No.

A duplicate.

With a transmitter inside that set off the bomb.

My family has relied on MI6 twice, Mr Bond.

I won't make that mistake a third time.

I'm going to finish building this pipeline.

And I don't need your help. Oh.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to check the survey lines.

I've always wanted to check the survey lines.

You don't take no for an answer, do you?

No.

I hope you know how to ski, then.

I came prepared for a cold reception.

Can't land. Wind's too strong.

Hold her steady.

You ski very well, Mr Bond.

It seems you enjoy being chased.

Probably happens all the time (!) Less often than you might think.

So, this is where they meet.

The two ends of the pipeline.

Your father's legacy.

My FAMILY'S legacy... to the world.

Elektra, look at me! Look at me. Look at my eyes.

You're all right.

Everything's all right. Trust me.

She's fine. Some bumps and bruises, but otherwise fine.

She wants to see you.

Not you, Davidov. Him.

Are you all right?

I need to ask you something.

And I want you to tell me the truth.

Who is it? Who's trying to kill me?

I told you, I don't know.

But I'm going to find him.

Not good enough.

After the kidnapping, I was afraid.

I was afraid to go outside, I was afraid to be alone,

I was afraid to be in a crowd.

I was afraid to do anything at all.

Until I realised...

I can't hide in the shadows.

I can't let fear run my life.

I won't.

After I find him...

..you won't have to.

Don't go.

Stay with me.

Please.

I can't do that.

I thought it was your job to protect me.

You'll be safe here.

I don't want to be safe.

I'll be back soon.

And who's afraid now, Mr Bond?

Messieurs, mesdames...

I want to see Valentin Zukovsky.

Impossible.

Vodka martini.

Shaken, not stirred.

Tell him James Bond is here.

Now.

I don't think you heard me.

Mr Zukovsky will be delighted to see you.

After you. No.

After you.

I insist.

WOMEN GIGGLING

Why am I suddenly worried that I'm not carrying enough insurance?

Huh? Chill out, James!

Fine, ladies. Go on, beat it.

Scram. Bull, give them an inch.

But make sure they lose it in this casino, huh?

I'll see you later, Mr Bond.

I see you put your money where your mouth is.

Mr Bullion does not trust banks.

So, what would you like to talk about?

I'm not sure I can really help you. I'm a legitimate businessman now.

Hm. Would you care for some caviar?

Take a look at this.

Russian Special Services...

Atomic Energy Anti-terrorist Unit.

Where did you find this?

I took it off a Parahawk

which tried to kill Elektra King this morning.

Renard is behind this.

I think you and I had better have a drink.

And then, after Afghanistan,

the KGB decided Renard was a liability

and just cut him loose.

Now he works freelance.

But for whom? Hmm!

There are four competing pipelines.

I'm willing to bet half the customers in this casino

would be very happy to see the King pipeline disappear.

Ha!

What's funny? Oh, nothing.

It just appears Miss King does not share your concern.

MAN YELLS ANGRILY

What are you doing here?

The same thing you are.

Looking for the people who tried to kill me.

Let me take you home. Now.

No. I want them to see I'm not frightened.

Miss King, how very nice to see you.

We've kept your father's chair free.

Free? Nothing's free from you, Zukovsky.

Your father had a credit line with us. One million, US.

I'd be happy to extend you that courtesy.

So, what's it to be?

Vingt-et-un? Blackjack, your father's favourite?

Let's keep it simple.

One card, high draw.

A million dollars.

Wait.

Bury the top three cards.

You're determined to protect me, aren't you?

Perhaps from yourself. You don't have to do this.

There's no point in living... if you can't feel alive.

Queen of hearts.

It appears that you have been beaten...

..by the ace of clubs.

No hard feelings, my dear. Come again soon.

Shall we? Elektra...

This is a game I can't afford to play.

I know.

What happened to Davidov? I gave him the night off.

Welcome to the Devil's Breath.

For thousands of years,

Hindu pilgrims have journeyed to this holy place...

..to witness the wonder of the miracle

of the natural flames that never die.

And to test their devotion to God...

..by holding the scalding rocks in their hands...

..as they say their daily prayers.

Tell me, Davidov,

what happened this afternoon?

You promised me your best men.

Mr Arkov supplied the latest weapons.

Yes, er, but Bond...

Bond was unarmed.

And you, Arkov...

Is everything ready for tomorrow?

I have the authorisation and the passes in the car.

And I have arranged for a plane tonight, but...

But what?

We should scrub the rest of the mission.

The Parahawks were meant to be returned.

People will start asking questions, even of me.

All because of his incompetence.

I see. I see you're right. You're right, he should be punished.

Davidov, hold this for me.

SIZZLING Agh!

It was wrong of me to expect so much of you. Please...

Gah! Kill him.

He failed his test of devotion.

You can take his place. Take his ID.

And do be on time.

Oh, poor shoulder.

It looks painful. Hm-mm.

It needs constant attention.

How did you survive?

I seduced the guards. Used my body.

It gave me control.

And the rest, I got a gun and started shooting.

And what about you? What do you do to survive?

I take pleasure...

..in great beauty.

I did spare your life at the banker's office.

That's right.

I couldn't kill you. You were working for me.

You delivered the money, killed King.

But then again...

there's no point living if you can't feel alive.

Huh?

He's an impostor. Dr Arkov is 63 years old.

He knew all about us, knew about my shoulder,

knew exactly where to hurt me.

Are you saying Renard is the man who's trying to kill me?

Drop the act, hm?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Oh, I think you do.

With all due respect...

I don't think you should be here.

May I remind you that you're the reason I'm here, 007.

You disobeyed a direct order and left that girl alone.

Perhaps that girl isn't as innocent as you think.

What are you saying?

Suppose the inside man,

the one who switched King's lapel pin,

turned out to be an inside woman.

She kills her father and attacks her own pipeline?

To what end? I don't know... yet.

ALARM SOUNDS

ELEKTRA: Look at that.

That's not right.

What is it? An observation rig.

It travels inside the pipe looking for cracks.

Shut it down.

I don't understand it. It won't respond.

The place is clean.

No sign of the bomb. The bomb is in the pipeline.

Oh, my God. They must have brought it through here.

That would explain the attack.

Heading for the oil terminal. Mm-hm.

Where it'll do most damage.

Have your men evacuate that terminal.

So, now do you believe me?

This is an emergency situation, so please, clear the room.

Do it. He's going for the oil. Of course.

The one pipeline the West is counting on

to supply our reserves for the next century.

Do you have an idea? Maybe.

How far is that rig from the terminal?

And how fast is it travelling?

It's 106 miles from the terminal, going 70mph.

We've got 78 minutes. Do you have another rig?

There's one parked in the passageway ahead of it.

Charles, can you get me out there? Of course.

Wait a minute.

Are you gonna do what I think you're gonna do?

What do I need to defuse a nuclear bomb?

Me.

There it is,

hatch to the passageway.

Take the controls.

You keep the speed up, so the other rig catches up with us.

I'll be waiting to hear from you.

You know how to drive one of these things?

Doesn't exactly take a degree in nuclear physics.

They're in the pipeline.

They're on the move.

Faster.

M: If there's even the slightest chance, Bond will succeed.

He's the best we have.

Though I'd never tell him.

I hope you're right.

Here it comes.

It's closing up. Faster!

Sit tight.

No brakes. The controls are jammed.

It's a tactical fission device.

Low yield. Hold me steady.

You've defused hundreds of these, right?

Yeah, but they're usually standing still.

Yeah, well... life's full of small challenges.

Have a look at this.

Someone's stripped the screw heads.

Someone's tampered with the bomb.

Look! Half the plutonium's missing.

So, what are you saying? It couldn't go nuclear?

There's still enough explosive in there

to kill both of us if the trigger charge goes off.

Let it blow. But I can stop it!

Let it blow!

Trust me, leave it.

Foot down. Move down.

Jump! Go on, jump!

That's strange.

It doesn't read like a nuclear explosion.

Robinson's reporting. The bomb was a dud.

But the triggering charge blew out a 50-yard section of the pipe.

And Bond?

Nothing.

I'm so sorry.

But I have a gift for you.

Something that belonged to my father.

He would have wanted you to have it.

Perhaps this isn't the time.

Please.

He often spoke of how compassionately

you advised him on the best course of action during my kidnapping.

It's very valuable, you know.

I just couldn't let it explode with the rest of him.

I was very upset when the money didn't kill both of you.

I didn't think I'd get another chance.

Then you dropped the answer right in my lap.

Bond.

And as you say, he's the best you have.

Or should I say... had.

Take her to the helicopter.

Come on, give me your hand.

Jump, jump, jump.

Do you wanna explain why you did that?

I could have stopped that bomb! You almost killed us.

I did kill us.

She thinks we're dead, and she thinks she got away with it.

Do you wanna put that in English for those of us who don't speak spy?

Who's "she"? Elektra King.

But why would she blow up her own pipeline?

It makes her look innocent.

The explosion covers up the theft of the plutonium...

and then make it look like a terrorist attack.

But why leave this half?

So there's enough to spread around

to cover up for the part that they did take.

But what are they gonna do with the other half??

It's not enough to make a nuclear bomb.

You're the scientist. You tell me. I don't know.

But the world's greatest terrorist running around

with six kilos of weapons-grade plutonium can't be good.

I have to get it back, or somebody's gonna have my ass.

First things first. BEEPING

Bond to Robinson, do you copy?

By the way, before we go any further,

I just want to know -

what's the story with you and Elektra?

We're strictly plutonic.

Now.

Bond to Robinson, copy?

What's your story?

What are you doing here in Kazakhstan?

Avoiding those kind of questions, just like you.

ROBINSON: 'I read you, 007.

'Red alert. M is missing with Elektra.

'Three men down. Await instructions. Out.'

What do we do now?

There's one critical element here I may have overlooked.

What? More plutonium? No.

Beluga...

caviar.

Brought me something?

The power to reshape the world.

Go on.

It's safe.

Touch your destiny.

I've brought something for you as well.

YOUR present.

Courtesy of the late Mr Bond.

My executioner.

Overpraise, I'm afraid.

But my people will finish the job. Your people?

Your people will leave you here to rot.

Just like you left me.

You and my father.

Your father wasn't... My father was nothing.

His kingdom he stole from my mother.

The kingdom I will rightly take back.

I hope you're proud of what you did to her.

I'm afraid it is you who deserve credit.

When I took her...

she was promise itself.

And you left her at the mercy of a man like me.

YOU ruined her.

For what?

To get to me?

She's worth 50 of me.

For once, I agree with you.

Yes.

And now, we also share a common fate.

You will die,

along with everyone in this city...

..and the bright, starry, oil-driven future of the West.

Since you sent your men to kill me,

I've been watching time tick slowly away.

Marching toward my own death.

Now you can have the same pleasure.

Watch these hands, M.

By noon tomorrow,

your time is up.

And I guarantee you...

I will not miss.

So beautiful.

So smooth.

So warm.

How would you know?

Why are you like this?

Because Bond is dead?

It's what you wanted.

Of course it's what I wanted.

He was...

He was a good lover?

What do you think?

I wouldn't feel anything?

I feel nothing.

What about this?

Wait here. Always something!

First the casino, now the caviar factory.

I'm a slave to the free market economy.

PHONE RINGING Hello?

Bond is alive.

Is nothing in this place straight?

Who are you?

And how did you get in?

I'll call security...

and congratulate them. Hm!

Drink?

Can't you just say hello like a normal person?

Get lost.

No, no, no. Down the back.

What's your business with Elektra King?

I thought YOU were the one giving her the business (!)

She drops a million dollars in your casino,

and you don't even blink an eye.

What's she paying you off for, hm?

You know, if I were you,

a relationship with a man like that...

HELICOPTER BUZZING ..I wouldn't bet on it.

$5,000 of beluga ruined.

That's nothing compared to what a 20-megaton nuclear bomb can do.

What are you talking about?

We had a nuclear bomb stolen this morning.

Renard and Elektra King are working together.

I didn't know! Well, what DO you know?!

ENGINE STARTS

BEEPING

CAR ALARM

Q's not gonna like this.

Argh!

Get out!

SPLUTTERS

Help! Now...

where were we?

A rope, please! No. The truth.

She has M.

I know nothing about that. Those blades were meant for you.

What does Elektra King want you dead for?

It was YOU who destroyed my factory!

Then you drown my Rolls-Royce,

and now you try to drown me!

In my own caviar!

Let me out!

Too bad we don't have any Champagne.

SHE CHUCKLES Or sour cream.

OK, OK.

Occasionally...

I-I get equipment for her,

machinery - you know, Russian stuff.

And the payoff in the casino?

It was a special job.

My nephew is in the navy.

He's smuggling some... machinery for her.

Where? Absolutely not.

WHERE?!

HE SPLUTTERS

Where?! Istanbul.

You!

Where have you been, you gold-encrusted buffoon?

Sorry, boss. I must have bumped my head.

Oh, really? Get me out of here.

I'll show you what a bumped head feels like.

Uh, look!

We have no roof, but at least we have four good walls.

CREAKING

The insurance company is never going to believe this.

SHIP'S HORN BLASTS DISTANTLY

HORN BLASTS

'This used to be the KGB's Istanbul safe house.'

Now it's FSB - Federal Security Bureau.

Same old friendly service with a new name.

Did you raise Nikolai? Nyet. Nothing.

Try scanning the emergency frequencies.

Tragedy.

You know, in the old days, there were at least 100 places

where a submarine could surface undetected.

Submarine?

What class is your nephew running?

Sure. Erm... Victor III, you call it.

Nuclear. He's not loading cargo. They want the sub.

They want to use the reactor. That's it.

Put weapons-grade plutonium in that sub's reactor?

Instant catastrophic meltdown.

Making it all look just like an accident.

But why?

Because the existing pipelines from the Caspian Sea

go to the north, here.

But the oil is put on board the tankers,

shipped across the Black Sea down to Istanbul.

The explosion would destroy Istanbul,

contaminating the Bosphorus for decades.

And there'd be only one way to get the oil out.

Yeah, down south. To the Med.

The King pipeline.

Elektra's pipeline. We must find Nikolai.

Captain Nikolai?

Sir.

Ready to load your cargo.

We have only a few hours before it'll be missed.

You came with a skeleton crew.

That's all we can afford these days. Of course.

Some brandy and refreshments for your men.

Thank you.

DOOR IS UNLOCKED

Good morning.

What's the time?

SHIP'S HORN BLASTS DISTANTLY

It's time for you to die.

BEEPS

REPEATED BEEPS

I got something.

On the emergency frequency.

Two six-digit numbers, cycled every 15 seconds.

A GPS signal. Position co-ordinates. Locator card. M!

Here. Yeah, Maiden's Tower.

Have you been there? No. Mr Bullion!

Bomb!

ALARM RINGS

Come on, come on.

After you.

I insist.

Take them up and throw them in the sea.

The extruder's in here.

It will take me half an hour

to set up the machine to make the plutonium rod.

Put them in here.

The reactor is secured.

Everything is complete as planned.

Is your helicopter ready?

It's going to pick me up in half an hour.

Then this is the end. No.

This is the beginning.

The world will never be the same.

The future is yours.

Have fun with it.

James Bond.

If only you'd kept away,

we might have met again in a few years

and become lovers once more.

Take her to Renard.

A pretty thing.

You had her, too?

I could have given you the world.

The world is not enough.

Foolish sentiment.

Family motto.

They were digging near here

and found some very pretty vases.

They also found this chair.

I think we ignore the old ways at our peril.

Don't you?

Where's M? Hm!

Soon she'll be everywhere.

All this...

..because you fell for Renard?

I've always had a power over men.

When I realised my father wouldn't rescue me from the kidnappers,

I knew I had to form another alliance.

You... turned Renard.

Just like you.

Only you were even... easier.

I told him he had to hurt me.

He had to make it look real.

When he refused,

I told him I would do it myself.

So... you killed your father.

You know what happens when a man is strangled?

Elektra...

it's not too late.

Eight million people need not die.

You should have killed me when you had the chance.

But you couldn't. Not me.

Not a woman you've loved.

You meant nothing... to me.

MACHINE GUN FIRE

Boss...

you're alive!

So glad to see you.

Me too.

I'm looking for a submarine.

It's big and black, and the driver is a very good friend of mine.

Bring it to me.

What a shame.

He's just gone.

Zukovsky really hated you.

Everything's under control up here. Are you ready?

RENARD: 'Yes. Au revoir.'

Time to say good night.

James, you can't kill me.

Not in cold blood.

M: Bond!

SHOUTS FROM OUTSIDE

Call him off.

I won't ask again.

Call him off.

Call him off!

Renard...

You wouldn't kill me.

You'd miss me.

'Yes?'

Dive...!

GUNSHOT

I never miss.

KLAXON BLARES

Where is she?

THUDS

James!

Thought I'd forgotten you, eh?

Level at 100 feet.

Hold her steady.

Level at 100 feet.

If we can force them up to the surface,

they'll show up on the spy satellite,

bring out the navy.

Come on, get up.

Over there. Go, move!

Move! Go, go, go!

Get over there! Stay!

ALARM BLARES

Get the lever!

Lever! It's all smashed!

Christmas!

So, we're going UP, then (!)

Slight miscalculation.

Hold on!

Hold on! Hold on!

Brace yourself.

It's flooding.

Get up to the hatch.

CREAKING

Come on!

He's opened up the reactor.

And locked himself in!

I have to get up there to him. We've got one chance.

I get out of the submarine

and back in through the reactor room escape hatch.

When the light goes red,

press this button so I can get back in.

James, it's too risky.

If I don't make it,

use this chamber to get out.

Close the hatch.

Be sure to exhale all the way up. Close it.

SCREAMS

MUFFLED BANGING

James!

Help!

Come on, come on!

We're safe from the radiation,

as long as the reactor cooler doesn't burst.

If he had gotten the plutonium rod in the reactor,

we could have written off the whole city.

James!

Welcome to my nuclear family.

Are you really gonna commit suicide for her?

You forget - I'm already dead.

Haven't you heard?

So is she.

You're lying.

ARGH!

LIAR!

Argh!

ALARM SOUNDS

She's waiting for you.

The hydrogen gas level's too high.

One spark and the reactor will blow.

I have to stop it.

Go to the top of the submarine.

I'll meet you at the torpedo bay. Go!

The reactor is flooded.

So it's safe, even if this place blows.

Hey!

Hey!

CHEERING

No, it's simply not the case.

No, before that.

Any word? No.

Still no contact.

Always wanted to have Christmas in Turkey.

Was that a Christmas joke?

From me? No.

Never.

So, isn't it time you unwrapped your present?

Oh, I think so.

Look, what's that?

The car.

So, he must be nearby. Where?

Where? It picks up body heat. So, humans come out orange.

There.

I thought you said he was with Dr Jones.

It's getting redder.

007!

Must be a premature form of the millennium bug.
