Speaker A
The theatrics are supposed to scare me. You have the wrong man, Bond. If M was so sure I was bent, just send a double O.
Speaker A
Benefits of being six and chief. I don't know if [music] anyone had been permitted a double O status only.
Speaker A
Your file shows no kills. It takes two. Shame. We barely got to know each other.
Speaker A
I know where you [music] keep your gun. Suppose that's something. True. How did he die? Your contact.
Speaker A
No. Well, [screaming and groaning] Thank you. Made you feel it, did he? Well, you didn't worry.
Speaker A
The second is yes, considerably. Heat. Heat. [music] Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. [music] Heat. Heat.
Speaker A
[music] Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. N. Heat. Heat. For you. M take ma. So, how do I trust this man that I've never met with my money?
Speaker A
You ask for the introduction. That's all my organization will guarantee. Okay. I suppose our friend Mr. White will have told you that I have provided reliable banking services for many other freedom fighters over the years.
Speaker A
Do you believe in God, Mr. Rashid? No, I believe in a reasonable rate of return.
Speaker A
I want no risk in the portfolio. Agreed. And I can access it anywhere in the world.
Speaker A
Yes. I have the money, so short another million shares of Skyfleet stock. Sir, you must know you're betting against the market. No one expects this stock to go anywhere but up.
Speaker A
Just do it. Heat. [cheering] [cheering] Heat. [cheering] Looks like our man burned scars on his face.
Speaker A
No wonder if bomb makers are insured for things like that. [cheering] He's on the move.
Speaker A
He's on the move and he's heading straight for me. Stop touching your ear. Sorry. Put your hand down.
Speaker A
[screaming] [cheering] Holster the bloody weapon, Carter. I need him alive. I got you. There is [sighs] Now that hey. See no one here.
Speaker A
[music] I got that. [singing] A [groaning] good. Come on out. Let me help you.
Speaker A
I just [screaming] need you. It's a [screaming] good idea. [music] Ah. [crying] Give me [screaming] a. Get out of the way.
Speaker A
Oh no. Hold up. Awesome. Mr. Don't be [sighs] A good one. I'm coming. Weeping blood comes merely from a derangement of the tear doctor. My dear general, nothing sinister.
Speaker A
All in. I have two pair and you have a 17.4% chance of making straight.
Speaker A
When does ellipsus expire? We have less than 36 hours. I can call. No, no, that's all the time I have anyway.
Speaker A
Give our guests 5 minutes to leave or throw them overboard. Who the hell do they think they are? I report to the prime minister and even he's smart enough not to ask me what we do. Have you ever seen such a bunch of
Speaker A
self-righteous ass covering pri? They don't care what we do. They care what we get photographed doing. And how the hell could Bond be so
Speaker A
deranged? And where the hell is he? In the old days, if an agent did something that embarrassing, he'd have the good sense to defect. Christ, I miss the Cold War.
Speaker A
You've got a bloody cheek. Sorry. I'll shoot the camera first next time. Or yourself.
Speaker A
You stormed into an embassy. You violated the only absolutely inviolent rule of international relationships. And why? So you could kill a nobody. We wanted to question him, not to kill him.
Speaker A
For God's sake, you're supposed to display some kind of judgment. I did. I thought that one less bomb maker in the world would be a good thing.
Speaker A
Exactly. One bomb maker. We're trying to find out how an entire network of terrorist groups is financed, and you give us one bomb maker. Hardly the big picture, wouldn't you say? The man isn't even a true believer. He's a gun for
Speaker A
hire. And thanks to your overdeveloped trigger finger, we have no idea who hired him or why. And how the hell did you find out where I lived?
Speaker A
Same way I found out your name. I thought M was a randomly assigned letter. I had no idea it stood for utter one more syllable and I'll have you killed.
Speaker A
I knew it was too early to promote you. Well, I understand double O's have a very short life expectancy, so your mistake will be shortlived.
Speaker A
Bond, this may be too much for a blunt instrument to understand, but arrogance and self-awareness seldom go hand in hand.
Speaker A
So, you want me to be half monk, half hitman? Any thug can kill. I want you [music] to take your ego out of the equation and to judge the situation dispassionately.
Speaker A
I have to know I can trust you and that you know who to trust.
Speaker A
And since I don't know that, I need you out of my sight. Go and stick your head in the sand somewhere and think about your future because these bastards want your head. And I'm seriously considering feeding you to them.
Speaker A
And Bon, don't ever break into my house again. No heat. [music] Wow. [music] [music] Wow.
Speaker A
[music] Good day sir and welcome to the ocean club. Hello. Are you going to take this or make me wait?
Speaker A
Certainly, sir. Sorry, sir. I see him. Try security. Security. [snorts] Welcome to the Ocean Club, sir. Checking in.
Speaker A
Yes, but it's a spur-of the- moment thing and I haven't got a reservation. Okay.
Speaker A
No idea. We have an ocean view villa. Perfect. Could you do me a favor? I was here for dinner last night and I parked my car next to a very beautiful 1964 Aston Martin. And I'm ashamed to say I nicked
Speaker A
the door. You wouldn't happen to know. Mr. Demetrius, right? If he hasn't noticed, I'm not sure I'd mention it. Isn't the time to take bad news? alone.
Speaker A
But if I felt compelled to find him, he has a house just up the beach.
Speaker A
Thank you. [music] Go go go go go go. What? He's in the Bahamas. You woke me to share his holiday plans.
Speaker A
Well, he's logged into our secure website using your name and password. Well, how the hell does he know these things?
Speaker A
I'm doing my best to find out. Who's he looking at? Alex Demetrios. That slimy bugger.
Speaker A
Now known associates. had a good night. Good even. Good job, big boy. Mohammed, you want to join?
Speaker A
Good evening. Good evening. small blind, big blind. Amen. That's to you. If that was for luck, you're 2 hours late.
Speaker A
200 to you. That's to you. I heard you. Check her back. Check. And to you.
Speaker A
5,000. Five to call. Check. Check to you, sir. All in. No way. 20,000. Table stakes. I'm sorry, sir.
Speaker A
Okay. This is on the table. That's my car. Want to bet? I'm sorry, Mr. Demetrius.
Speaker A
Please. No. Give him a chance to win [music] his money back. All right. Show me, gentlemen.
Speaker A
Greetings. Trip aces. Aces win. Oh, and the val. Bye-bye, Jack. Sir, thank you. Thank you.
Speaker A
Thank you, sir. No wonder he was in such a foul mood. My mistake. Can I give you a lift home?
Speaker A
That would really send him over the edge. I'm afraid I'm not that cruel. Well, perhaps you just had a practice.
Speaker A
Perhaps. [sighs] What about a drink at my place? Your place? Is it close? Very wonder.
Speaker A
Good evening sir and welcome back. Welcome to him. I'm having a hard time seeing how this is my fault. It's your plan. All I did was get you the man.
Speaker A
A man who was under surveillance by the British Secret Service, [snorts] which makes me wonder if I can trust you at all.
Speaker A
Then don't. I couldn't care less. But I do care about my reputation. I have someone else willing to do the job. He just needs the particulars and payment.
Speaker A
You like married women, don't you, James? That keeps things simple. [laughter] What is it about bad men?
Speaker A
You, my husband. I had so many chances to be happy. So many nice guys.
Speaker A
Why can't nice guys be more like you? Cuz then they'd be bad. Yes. But so much more interesting.
Speaker A
What makes your husband a bad man? His nature, I suppose. The nature of his work.
Speaker A
A mystery. I'm afraid. I'm also afraid. You sleep with me in order to get to him.
Speaker A
How afraid? Not enough to stop. Can I ask you a personal question? Now would seem an appropriate time.
Speaker A
Does ellipsis mean anything to you? Should I ask him about it? Perhaps later. Yes dear.
Speaker A
Miami. Okay, I understand. See you tomorrow. Bye-bye. Apparently, it's on the last flight to Miami.
Speaker A
So, you have all night to question me. In that case, we're going to need some more champagne.
Speaker A
Good evening. Room service. Good evening. Can I get a bottle of chilled bologing guard and the beluga caviar with everything?
Speaker A
Yes, with everything. And would that be for two, sir? What? For two? No, for one.
Speaker A
Heat. Heat. Wait here. There he is. Number 53. Dr. Hogan's body invites visitors to observe the body's various nervous and vascular systems and compare healthy and diseased organs such as This is easy to me. [music] Ladies and gentlemen,
Speaker A
I believe it is something very special what you see here. This is education. changed into that reveal to life special relationships.
Speaker A
Yeah. Yeah. Hello. Hello. Thank you. Miami International Airport is restricted. flight time. Please proceed to from the view.
Speaker A
Yes, it's Bond. I need her now. I'm afraid she can't be disturbed. [music] Can I take a message?
Speaker A
Listen, you go and find her. Tell her to call security at Miami airport because I think a bomb is about to go off and you do it now.
Speaker A
Sorry. Can I put you on hold? I thought we might. Bond, what the hell are you up to?
Speaker A
I'll call you back. Okay. The Skyfleet S570 prototype. What about it? Largest airplane in the world being unveiled today at Miami airport.
Speaker A
Don't come on. Hunt. His target is the Sky Fleet prototype. It's launching today. [groaning] I got to go.
Speaker A
All right. Check out the Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Oh, heat, heat. Bro, Heat.
Speaker A
Heat. Heat. [music] Heat. Stop. Stop. Heat. Hey, heat. Hey, heat. Heat. [music] Heat. [music] Heat. Heat.
Speaker A
Heat. Heat. Moving, moving, moving. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Heat. Heat. They special care.
Speaker A
The puts expired. I'm sorry. I'm not sure yet how much you've lost. $11,26,000. Someone talked You got Quite the body count you're stacking up.
Speaker A
She was tortured first. As you'd already killed her husband, she must have been the only one left to question.
Speaker A
Do you know anything that could compromise you? No. Not your name. What you were after?
Speaker A
No. Demetrius worked as middleman. Always knew where to put his hands on weapons and people who could use them. He worked with anyone who had money. For years, he was involved with a man we knew as Lashif, private banker to the world's
Speaker A
terrorists. He invested their money and gave them access to wherever they wanted. Oh, good. You're here. Albanian, we believe. Chess prodigy. a bit of a mathematical genius and like to prove it by playing poker.
Speaker A
Ow. So you can keep an eye on me. Yes. When they analyzed the stock market after 9/11, the CIA discovered a massive shorting of airline stocks. When the stocks hit bottom on 912, somebody made a fortune.
Speaker A
The same thing happened this morning with Skyfleet stock, always supposed to. With their prototype destroyed, the company would be near bankruptcy.
Speaker A
Instead, somebody lost over hund00 million betting the wrong way. You think it's this manly chief, which would explain how he could set up a high stakes poker game at Casino Royale in Montenegro. 10 players, $10 million buy in, 5 million reby. Winner
Speaker A
takes all, potentially 150 million. Good. Then we'll know where he'll be. Do you want a clean kill or do you want to send a message?
Speaker A
We want him alive. She doesn't have 100 million to lose. Has he been playing the stock market with his client's funds?
Speaker A
I'm not going to be too happy when they find out it's gone. We can't let him win this game. If he loses, he'll have nowhere to run. We'll give him sanctuary in return for everything he knows.
Speaker A
I'm putting you in the game. We're placing someone who's playing for a syndicate. According to Villy, you're the best player in the service.
Speaker A
Trust me, I wish it wasn't the case. I would ask you if you could remain emotionally detached, but I don't think that's your problem, is it, Bond?
Speaker A
No. Don't worry about keeping in touch. We'll know where you are. You can stop pretending.
Speaker A
You knew I wouldn't let this drop, didn't you? Well, I knew you were you go somewhere.
Speaker A
Thank you. I'm the money. Every penny of it. The treasury has agreed to stake you in the game.
Speaker A
Beser, I do hope you gave your parents hell for that. Thank you. Your boss must be well connected. I've never seen so much go out the door so quickly.
Speaker A
Not quite so stylishly. May I ask you where it is? 10 million was wired to your account in Montenegro with a contingency for five more if I deem it a prudent investment.
Speaker A
I suppose you've given some thought to the notion that if you lose, our government will have directly financed terrorism.
Speaker A
What looks good. So, you're telling me it's a matter of probability and odds. I was worried there was some chance involved.
Speaker A
How many of you assume the player with the best hand wins? So, that will be what you call bluffing.
Speaker A
You've heard the term. Then you'll also know that in poker you never play your hand. You play the man across from you.
Speaker A
And you're good at reading people. Yes, I am. Which is why I've been able to detect an undercurrent of sarcasm in your voice.
Speaker A
You'll know short money is in good hands. You don't think this is a very good plan, do you?
Speaker A
So, there is a plan. I got the impression we were risking millions of dollars and hundreds of lives on a game of luck. What else can you summize, Mr.
Speaker A
Bond? About you, Miss Lind? Well, your beauty is a problem. You worry you won't be taken seriously.
Speaker A
Which one can say of any attractive woman with half a brain? True, but this one overcompensates by wearing slightly masculine clothing, being more aggressive than her female colleagues, which gives her a somewhat prickly demeanor, and ironically enough, makes
Speaker A
it less likely for her to be accepted and promoted by her male superiors. We mistake her insecurities for arrogance.
Speaker A
Now, I'd have normally gone with only child, but um you see, by the way, you ignored the quip about your parents, I'm going to have to go with orphan.
Speaker A
All right. By the cut of your suit, you went to Oxford or wherever. Naturally think human beings dressed like that. But you were it with such disdain. My guess is you didn't come from money. And your school friends never let you forget it.
Speaker A
Which means you were at that school by the grace of someone else's charity. Hence the chip on your shoulder. And since your first thought about me ran to orphan, that's what I'd say you are.
Speaker A
Well, you are. I like the spoken thing. And that makes perfect sense since they're my six looks for malajestic young men who give little thought to sacrificing others in order to protect queen and country.
Speaker A
You know, former SAS types with easy smiles and expensive watches. Rolex amigga. Beautiful. Now, having just met you, I wouldn't go as far as calling you a cold-hearted bastard.
Speaker A
No, of course not. But it wouldn't be a stretch to imagine you think of women as disposable pleasures rather than meaningful pursuits.
Speaker A
So, as charming as you are, Mr. Bond, I will be keeping my eye on our government's money and off your perfectly formed house.
Speaker A
You noticed. Even accountants have imagination. How was your lamb? skewed one sympathizers. Good evening, Mr. Bond.
Speaker A
Good evening, Miss Lind. Hotel Long Beach. That's right. Thank you, sir. Thank you. It's just last minute details.
Speaker A
Apparently, we're very much in love. Do you usually leave your porters to tell you this sort of thing?
Speaker A
Only when the romance has been necessarily brief. I'm Mr. Arlington Beach, professional gambler, and you're Miss Stephanie Broadchester.
Speaker A
I am not. You're going to have to trust me on this. Oh, no, I don't.
Speaker A
We've been involved for quite a while. Hence the shared suite. But my family is strict Roman Catholic. So for appearanc's sake, it'll be a two-bedroom suite.
Speaker A
I do hate it when religion comes between us. Religion and a securely locked door. Am I going to have a problem with you, Bond?
Speaker A
No, don't worry. You're not my type. Smart. Single. Welcome to the hotel, Bondit. Your name, sir?
Speaker A
James Bond. You'll find the reservation under beach. Welcome, Mr. Bond. You sign that deal. You represent the treasury.
Speaker A
Thank you. Enjoy your state. I will. Thank you. Very funny. Look, if the chief is that well connected, he knows who I am and where the money's coming from, which means he's decided to play me anyway. So, he's
Speaker A
either desperate or he's overly confident. But either way, that tells me something about him. And all he gets in return is a name he already has.
Speaker A
And now he knows something about you. He knows you're reckless. Take the next one. There isn't enough room for me and your ego.
Speaker A
Mr. Bond, what's left for you? Thank you. I'm a YouTube man. Heat. Heat. My name is Matis. Lenny Matis. I'm your contact here.
Speaker A
Does he know we've been watching him? The chief? I don't think so. Probably because there's no we. Just me.
Speaker A
I'm afraid if you get into trouble here, the covery won't be coming over the nearest hill.
Speaker A
The chief arrived yesterday and spent the time reestablishing all the relationships. The chief of police and he are now quite close. That's him with a mustache over my left shoulder.
Speaker A
That can make life quite difficult. Yeah. And quite possibly shorter. He's not a very subtle man.
Speaker A
I thought about trying to buy services, but we frankly couldn't afford to out to be the chief.
Speaker A
I hate to say it, but the accountants seem to be running MI6 these days. Oh, not that I have anything against accountants. Many of them are lovely people.
Speaker A
So I decided that it was cheaper to supply his deputy with evidence that we were bribing the chief.
Speaker A
It's amazing what you can do at Photoshop these days, isn't it? I think your odds are improving, Mr.
Speaker A
Bond. Yes. For you. something you expect me to wear? I need you looking fabulous so that when you walk up behind me and kiss me on the neck, the players across from me will be thinking about your neckline and not
Speaker A
about their cards. Do you think you can do that for me? I'll do my best.
Speaker A
Thank you. I have a dinner jacket. There are dinner jackets and dinner jackets. This is the letter and I need you looking like a man who belongs at that table.
Speaker A
How the It's tailored. I sized you up the moment we met. [laughter] Good evening, sir.
Speaker A
Good evening. Thank you. And you must be Mr. Bliss's replacement. Welcome, Mr. Beach. Was that Bond? I'm a little confused.
Speaker A
Well, we wouldn't want that, would we? [clears throat] Ladies and gentlemen, welcome. As you know, the game is no limit. Holden pucker. Five communal cards to in the hole. Mu Mendel here represents the Basel Bank Switzerland holding the

Speaker A
That's it. H. Anyone wants to play poker? Someone's in a hurry. Would you excuse me?
Speaker A
Well, it's up to you. You taste nice. I thought we dispenseed with covers. No, we dispenseed with one that was of no use and created another that is.
Speaker A
Is he watching? Yes. Good. This is me in character pissed off because you're losing so fast we won't be here past midnight.
Speaker A
Oddly, my character's feelings mirror my own. Jake, you know that's not half bad. I'm going to have to think of a name for that.
Speaker A
It was worth it to discover his tal. What do you mean? The twitch he has to hide when he bluffs.
Speaker A
Bluffs. He had the best hand. Which he got on the last card. The odds against were 23 to1 and he'd know that.
Speaker A
When he did his first raise, he had nothing. Winning was blind luck. You get the bug.
Speaker A
Yes. 100,000. Thank you. It's your bet. Maybe they can actually pull this off. Ladies and gentlemen, Madame Miss, we've now been playing for 4 hours. It's time for a short break. We will resume play in 1 hour.
Speaker A
I think I know. Well, I think I'll report on the evening's uh frivolity. So, you want to do what to me?
Speaker A
You've lost me completely. You just said you can't wait to get me back to the room. Come on.
Speaker A
So what's what's so damn important? I'm sorry. Oh dear. [screaming] Where is my money?
Speaker A
Good evening. Good evening. You're holding a parcel for me. Thank you. You think you can lose that kind of money and no one will notice?
Speaker A
Your money is safe. Open that. You'll have it tomorrow. All of it. I would take a hand for this betrayal, but you need it to bleed out.
Speaker A
Hold out your arm. [panting] Hold out your arm, my beauty, or I will take your head.
Speaker A
Go to the room. Wait for me there. [screaming] [panting and crying] stairs. [panting] Not a word of protest.

Should find a new boyfriend. [panting] Help! [screaming and groaning] What? [screaming and groaning] I'm [screaming and groaning] owe [groaning] Help.
Speaker A
Okay. Heat. Go find Matthews. Tell him I've hidden the bodies down here and I want him to get rid of them. Do that now. Go, go, go.
Speaker A
You changed your shirt, Mr. Bond. I hope our little game isn't causing you to prospire.
Speaker A
A little, but I won't consider myself to be in trouble until I start weeping blood.
Speaker A
Ladies and gentlemen, if everybody's ready, let's continue the game. It's like this part of my hands. It's all coming up.
Speaker A
Yeah. I see. That's better. Cold. Yeah. [music] You have any trouble with the bodies?

Less than some. [sighs] being dead doesn't mean one can't still be helpful. Keep the sheep looking over his shoulder.

Speaker A
Mr. Bart, please. We will now break for 1 hour. When we return, the big blind will be 200,000.
Speaker A
Yes. I'm going to need the other 5 million to buy back in. I can't do that. James, look, I made a mistake.
Speaker A
I was impatient. Maybe I was arrogant, but I could beat him. I'm sorry. Sorry.

Sorry. Why don't you try putting that in a sentence? Like maybe sorry Leashie's going to win. Continue funding terror and killing innocent people. That kind of sorry.
Speaker A
You lost because of your ego. With that same neo can't take it. That's what this is about. All you're going to do now is lose more.

Funny game, right? Sorry, I should have introduced myself seeing as we're related. Felix Lighter, a brother from Langley.
Speaker A
You should have a little faith. You keep your head about you. I think you have him.
Speaker A
Had excuse me. You're not buying in? No. Listen, I'm bleeding chips. I'm not going to last much longer. You have a better chance. I'll stake you.
Speaker A
I'm saying I'll give you the money to keep going. Just one thing. If you pull it off, the CIA bring him in.
Speaker A
And what about the winnings? Does it look like we need the money? Should we up the blinds?
Speaker A
Why not? Bet. Raise. and fold. Excuse me, please. Raise 500,000. Forward. Thank you. Forward.
Speaker A
Forward. Wins. J. Sorry, sir. You are the big blind. Small blind, please. Heat. Heat.
Speaker A
Hey hey hey. Ah. Who is it? 007. Von's been poisoned. He's going into cardiac arrest.
Speaker A
[snorts] Stay calm. And don't interrupt because you'll be dead within 2 minutes unless you do exactly what [music] I tell you.
Speaker A
I'm all ears. Remove the defibrillator from the pouch. Do not know what it is yet. Still scanning.
Speaker A

Speaker A
Adrenaline as soon as it reached charge. Okay, that'll work. Bond. Don't push the red button yet. Do you hear me? Don't push it yet.
Speaker A
His heart's going to stop. There's only time for one charge before he passes out.
Speaker A
Take the blue combi pen bond midneck into the vein. That will counteract the digitalis.

You're going to pass out in a few seconds and you need to keep your heart going. Push the red button [music] now.

Speaker A
[laughter] Congratulations. It's all yours. Much appreciated, brother. Congratulations. You know, I think a [music] celebration's in order.
Speaker A
You were almost dead an hour ago. Come on. Famished. Matthysse says the Americans have made contact with Lucifer.
Speaker A
They're going to extract him before dawn. You know, I think I'll call that a vesper because of the bitter aftertaste.
Speaker A
No, because once you've tasted it, that's all you want to drink. [laughter] Oh, that was quite a good line.
Speaker A
It was a very good line. But you're laughing at it. Not so much it as you.
Speaker A
Oh, well, that's fine. I figured out what that is. It's an Algerian love knot.
Speaker A
Really? Thought it was just something pretty. No, you didn't. Someone gave that to you.
Speaker A
He's a very lucky man. You can switch jobs off so easily, can't you? It doesn't bother you killing those people.
Speaker A
I wouldn't be very good at my job if it did. I don't believe you.
Speaker A
You've got a choice. You know, just because you've done something doesn't mean you have to keep doing it.
Speaker A
Why is it people who can't take advice always insist on giving it? You think I can't take my own advice?
Speaker A
I think something is driving you and I think I'll never find out what that is.
Speaker A
Matthysse needs me. Good night. Congratulations again. Matis. [laughter] I know that. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat.
Speaker A
[screaming] [panting] I'm afraid your friend Matthysse is really my friend Matis. Hey, Wow, you've taken good care of you, buddy.
Speaker A
Such a waste. You know, I never understood all these elaborate torches. It's the simplest thing to cause more pain than a man can possibly endure.
Speaker A
And of course, Yes, it's not only the immediate agony, but the knowledge that if you do not yield soon enough, there will be little left to identify you as a man.
Speaker A
The only question remains, will you yield in time? I want the money. [panting] [screaming] Miss Lynn will give me the account number if she hasn't already. So, all I need from you is the password.
Speaker A
the password, please. I've got a little glitch down there. Would you mind? A [screaming] no.
Speaker A
To the right. To the right. To the right. You are a funny man, Mr. Bond.
Speaker A
Yeah. [screaming] Yes. Yes. [laughter] Not the whole world's going to know that you're done scratching my balls.
Speaker A
[laughter] Well, I died. I died. Yes. Cuz no matter what you do, I'm not going to give you the password. Which means your clans are going to hunt you down and cut you into little pieces of meat while you're still breathing.
Speaker A
Because if you kill me, there'll be nowhere else to hide. But you were so wrong. Because even after I slaughtered you and your little girlfriend, your people would still welcome me with open arms.
Speaker A
Because they need what I know, [snorts] you give me the password and I would at least let her live.
Speaker A
Look, do it soon enough and she might even be in one piece. [snorts] You really aren't going to tell me, are you?
Speaker A
So, I think I'll feed you what you see not to value. I'll get the money.
Speaker A
Tell them I I'll get the money. Money isn't as valuable to our organization as knowing who to trust.
Speaker A
Francesco his Franchesco. You mean no it don't I'll get the Not him. Any ideas?
Speaker A
What? Why they left the two of you alive? Where is she? Sleeping. And I'm supposed to get you to drink this.
Speaker A
It's just God. killing everyone else but leaving you and her untouched. Almost as if someone was trying to tell us something.
Speaker A
Get a look at the killer. No, Shane. Drink up. Anything else you remember? Anything that can help us?
Speaker A
Help us. Mhm. I'll help you. [clears throat] Hello. Hello. You're right. I can't resist waking you. Every time I do, you look at me as if you haven't seen me in years.
Speaker A
Makes me feel reborn. If you'd just been born, wouldn't you be naked? You have me then.
Speaker A
You can have me anywhere. I can. Yeah. Here, there, anywhere you like. Does this mean that you're warming to me?
Speaker A
Yeah, that's how I would describe it. It's just that not so long ago, I would have described your feelings towards me.
Speaker A
It's um I'm trying to think of a better word than loathing. I'm afraid I'm a complicated woman.
Speaker A
That is something to be afraid of. Hello. Perfect timing. Oh, Mr. Mendel, how are things in Switzerland?
Speaker A
My apologies. I do not mean to rush, but 120 million is a large sum of money. It certainly is. You didn't bring any chocolates with you. I'm afraid not.
Speaker A
If you would type in the account number and not the password, you can do that.
Speaker A
I would if I knew what it was. V E S P E R. The funds have been transferred. Sorry for disturbing you.
Speaker A
in heaven. You know, James, I just want you to know that if all there was left of you was your smile and your little finger, you'd still be more of a man than anyone I've ever met.
Speaker A
That's because you know what I can do with my little finger. I have no idea.
Speaker A
But we're aching to find out. You're not going to let me in there, are you?
Speaker A
You've got your armor back on. As then I have no armor left. You stripped it from me.
Speaker A
Whatever is left of me, whatever is left of me, whatever I am, I'm yours.
Speaker A
[music] [music] What? Woo! Z won't miss me for a couple of days. She'll be too busy sweating Matthysse.
Speaker A
Matthysse? Remember I told you about Lashie's tell? Well, math is totally sheath. That's how he wiped me out. Same goes for the implant. I'm too silly about losing that.
Speaker A
I can't believe it. Well, now could I? I thought he had my back. But there you go. Lesson learned.
Speaker A
Does everyone have a tell? Yes. Everyone. Everyone except you. I wonder if that's why I love you.
Speaker A
You love me enough to quit and float around the world with you until one of us has to find an honest job.
Speaker A
But I think that's going to have to be you because I have no idea what an honest job is.
Speaker A
You're serious? Like you said, you do what I do for too long, and there won't be any soul left to salvage.
Speaker A
I'm leaving with what little I have left. Is that enough for you? [music] [music] [laughter] No. No. No. Stop it. Stop. I have to get to the bank. What's the time?
Speaker A
How much do you think we need to float for a month? I've got plenty.
Speaker A
Now, I want to pay for my half of our aimless wanderings. You stop wearing the necklace.
Speaker A
Yeah, it was time. Time enough to get over someone. Do you realize sometimes you can forget the past?
Speaker A
Huh? Apparently not to employ him. Back in one month. Come on, I'll get the money. You get supplies.
Speaker A
I'll see you back here in half hour. [music] Hello. M I got your note.
Speaker A
Yes. We'll talk about that later. Right now, I have a lovely man from the treasury here wondering if you're ever going to deposit the winnings.
Speaker A
That's a shame. I didn't think they'd [music] miss it. Yes, I tell them not to worry.
Speaker A
Sir, you'll be depositing it today. On my way to the bank [music] right now.
Speaker A
James Bond for Mr. Mendle. Hello, Mr. Mr. Mendle, I'm having trouble accessing the funds in my account.
Speaker A
It was transferred to the account number your company gave us, Mr. Barnes. It appears the funds are being withdrawn as we speak.
Speaker A
Where? The Venice branch, of course. St. Mark Square. Is there a problem, Mr. Bond?
Speaker A
See what happened? Oh my goodness. It's not I care. Allow me. Huh? Heat. Heat.
Speaker A
Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Stop. Stop. Woo! Woo!
Speaker A
I'm sorry, James. Heat. Heat. Get out of it. Heat. Heat. Hey, come on. [music] [snorts] [music] [music] [music] She had a boyfriend, a French Algerian.
Speaker A
They were very much in love. He was kidnapped by the organization behind Leashie, and they blackmailed her, threatening to kill him unless she cooperated.
Speaker A
We should have picked up on it, but sometimes we're so focused on our enemies, we forget to watch our friends.
Speaker A
How you doing? She left her cell phone. She must have known I'd check it. H.
Speaker A
She knew you were you. Well, at least this clears Matthysse. No. No. No. We just proved that she's guilty, not that he's innocent. Could have been a double blind. Keep sweating him.
Speaker A
You don't trust anyone, do you, James? No. Then you've learned your lesson. Get back as soon as you can. We need you.
Speaker A
We'll do. If you do need time. Why should I need more time? Job's done.
Speaker A
The is dead. James, did you ever ask yourself why you weren't killed that night?
Speaker A
Isn't it obvious? She made a deal to spare your life in exchange for the money. I'm sure she hoped they would let her live.
Speaker A
But she must have known she was going to her death. And now we'll never know who was behind this. The trail's going to go Hello, Mr. White. We need to talk.
Speaker A
Who is this? [screaming] Ah, the name is Bond. James Bond. [music] [music]
