If you think of going after him, you're the one in trouble." "Perhaps, but it's either him or someone in his organisation." "I see." "And you figured you could charm the dirt out of me." "No." "That wasn't my plan." "Good, because if it comes to a choice between you and Elliot, I've made my bed." "You don't sleep in it any more." "There you are." "Darling." "I've been looking everywhere for you." "I want you to meet Wai Lin, New China News Agency." " Hello, Mrs Carver." " It's a pleaseure." " And this is James Bond." " I didn't realise you knew each other." " We're old friends." " Acquaintances." "He dated my roommate in Zürich." "I'm thinking of getting Wai Lin behind a news desk." "That's wonderful." "I'm sure she won't resist... too much." "I was just wondering about your satellites, the way you're positioned globally." "They're merely tools for information, Mr Bond." "Or disinformation." "Say, if you wanted to manipulate the course of governments." "Or people." "Or even a ship." "That's very interesting, Mr Bond." "You have a vivid imagination..." "for a banker." "I should commission you to write a novel." "Heavens, no." "I'd be lost at sea." "Adrift." "Mr Carver." "It's time to begin the festivities." "Excuse me." "Darling?" " So, how do you really know him?" " I told you." "He's a banker." " I met him in Zürich." " You're a terrible liar, dear." "I... have a problem with a banker." "Could I see you a moment?" "Ladies and gentlemen." "Mr Carver's broadcast will be starting in ten minutes in the main studio." "Exactly what kind of banking do you specialise in, Mr Bond?" "Hostile takeovers." "Shall we?" "Carver must feel at home in a room like this." "It's nice to talk to the world." "Looks like there's someone who wants to talk to you." "Mr Bond, you have an urgent phone call." "Ladies and gentlemen, we are live in five... four... three... two..." "Good evening." "Tonight's broadcast was supposed to be a celebration marking the completion of the Carver Global Satellite Network." "But, as you're well aware, terrible conflict looms tonight in the South China Sea, which, unchecked, has the potential to destroy every human being on earth." "I want to assure my viewers that I, Elliot Carver..." "This way, please." "..have spoken with the prime minister in London and the chairman in Beijing and have offered my services as an impartial..." "It's a soundproof room, Mr Bond." "Nobody hears you scream." "Herr Stamper, we have made contact." "Make him uncomfortable." "I'll be there in a few moments." "..with its printing presses that run 24 hours a day and satellite facilities linking every last..." "You seem very concerned about Mr Carver's business." "He wants to know why." "Why did I do it you ask." "The answer is simple: power." "The power to illuminate the far corners of the globe, not for higher profits, but for higher understanding between the people of this great planet." "Put him in the chair." "Maybe we play a number on his head." "And what do I expect in return?" "Worldwide domination." "Complete, utter, total worldwide domination" "But not over goverments or religion or ideology." "Over tyranny and isolation and ignorance." "The Carver Media Group Network has the ability to reach..." "Herr Stamper..." "But do not fearme, for tonight I offer you my declaration of principles, a promise to the men and women ofthisplanet, my brothers and sisters, whom I so humbly serve." "I promise to report the news without fear or favour." "I promise to be a force for good in this world." "Fighting injustice, crushing intolerance battling inhumanity, striking a blow..." " It's time... for a station break." " .. for freedom at every turn." "Yes." "That is the goal of the Carver Media Group Network." " What's happening?" " We've lost power." " What?" "!" " We're off the air." "Ladies and gentlemen, please stay calm." "There's no need to go for the exit." "We will go on in a few minutes' time." "What do you mean, you don't know?" "You're fired!" "Get out of my sight!" "And, in a rather embarrassing note, scrappy media mogul Elliot Carver was cut off the air tonight in mid-speech during the inaugural braoadcast of his worldwide satellite network." "Sorry, Elliot, but we didn't do it." "Glorious evening, wasn't it?" "Come on, Elliot." "Ignore those people." "Sometimes these things happen." "Not to me." "Not to me!" "When I was 16, I went to work for a newspaper in Hong Kong." "It was a rag, but the editor taught me one important lesson." "The key to a great story is not who or what or when... but why." "Your friend, Mr Bond, made a mess tonight." " I want to know why." " I told you, I barely know him." "Barely?" "I was curious who Carver would send." "He's onto you." "Well, we know where you stand." "You made your bed." "I'm standing in your doorway." "Then turn around and go home." "You can tell him you didn't get anything out of me." "That's it?" "Go home?" "I didn't ask you to get involved in this." "It's too late for that." "Why did you marry him?" "He told me he loved me." "That always sounds good." "Do you know, I used to look in the papers every day for your obituary." "Well, I'm sorry I keep disappointing you." "What was it, James?" "Did I get too close?" "Did I get too close for comfort?" "Yes." "I missed you." " What did you find?" " I hacked into the mainframe at the bank." "They're using an SSL2 encryption, 128..." "Spare me the techno-babble, please." "Bond's got a perfect employment record." "He's crossed everyt." "He's dotted every i." " Which means?" " Government agent." "I call it "Gupta's Law of Creative Anomalies"." "If it sounds too good to be true, it always is." "Do you think my wife knows?" "There's a lot of garbage, but if you dial down the ambient noise..." "Tell me do you still sleep with a gun under your pillow?" "Play it again." "I think we should set an appointment for mywife with the doctor." "Tell me, do you still sleep with a gun under your pillow?" " I have to go." " No, you don't." "I can get you out of the country in four hours." "I have no choice." "No one can protect me from him." "Not even you." " You do have a choice." " Only if you let him go." "I can't do that." "He has a lab on the top floor even I'm not supposed to know about." " There's a hatch in the roof." " You don't have to do this." "It's the easeiest way to get in." "Don't argue with me, James." "You know, this job of yours..." "It's murder on relationships." "Until I get back, I want two guards outside this office 24 hours a day." " Nobody gets in." "Got it?" " We'll take care of it." "What do we do with the satellite?" "Send this thing off to the launch site." "And be careful." "It's worth $300 million." "You break it, you bought it." "Understand?" "I hate travelling." "I never know what to pack." "Looking for a news story?" "They'll print anything these days." "Yes?" "Good morning, MrBond." "Elliot Carver." "I believe you've got two items that belong to me." "What are you talking about?" "The red box, MrBond." "And my wife." "In your hotel room." "He's coming." "Fingerprint ID accepted." "Please select security-system level." "Tell me if you find the encoder." "Call me immediately." "..resolve differences through negotiation, the presidentsaid, quote, he can "feel their pain"." "And in breaking news: itis with great sadness that we announce the death of Paris Carver, who has become an international figure since she became the wife of Elliot Carver, chairman of this network." "According to police officials in Hamburg, Germany," "Mrs Carver was found dead this morning in a hotel suite in that city in unusual circumstances on which police have refused to elaborate." "A coroner is expected to deliver his full report within the next three days." "Her body was discovered along with the body of anunidentified man, who appeared to be the victim of a self-inflicted gun wound." "Reached aboard his private jet..." "I have a clear shot at your head, Mr Bond." "Stand up... slowly." "Drop your gun und kick it toward me, ja?" "Police have refused to speculate on a motive in this murder/suicide." "Good." "Now lie down on the bed next to Mrs Carver." "We extend our deepest sympathies to Mr Carver." "This story will be on the news in an hour." " Tomorrow's news today." " Just so." "My name is Dr Kaufman." "I am an outstanding pistol marksman." "Take my word for it, ja?" "Get the sledgehammers." "She struggled terribly, Mr Bond." "It's a pity you got her involved in all this." "It won't look like suicide if you shoot me from there." "I am a professor of forensic medicine." "Believe me, I could shoot you from Stuttgart und still create the proper effect." "Herr Stamper." "My art is in great demand, Mr Bond." "I go all over the world." "I am especially good at the celebrity overdose." "But now I am afraid, Mr Bond, that our little..." "Stamper!" "Stop yelling in my ear, ja?" "Sir, they can't get into the car." "You can't be serious." " Did you call the Auto Club?" " Do you wanna call them?" " Make him tell you how to open it." " OK, I ask." "This is very embarrassing." "It seems there is a red box in your car." "They can't get to it." "They want me to make you unlock the car." "I feel like an idiot." "I don't know what to say." "I am to torture you if you don't do it." " You have a doctorate in that, too?" " No." "This is more like a hobby." "But I am very gifted." "Oh, I believe you." " My cellphone opens the car..." " No, no, no, Mr Bond." "I do it, ja?" "Recall, three, send." "Wait!" "I'm just a professional doing a job." "Me too." "Dr Kaufman." "Welcome." "Please fasten seat belt." "Reduce speed." "Pedestrians in roadway." "Driver alert: obstruction ahead." "Reduce speed now." "Reminder: unsafe driving will void warranty." "Congratulations on a safe journey." "US AIRBASE SOUTH CHINA SEA" " Yo, Jimbo!" " Wade, what the hell are you doing here?" "You know the world's my office." "Let's go this way." "Did Q bring you up to speed?" "Yeah." "I brought the GPS calibration unit." "By the way, you know that officially Uncle Sam is neutral in this turkey shoot." " And unofficially?" " We've have no desire to see World War III." "Unless we start it!" "Dr Greenwalt." "He's the air-force GPS expert." "Sorry about all this security, but the GPS encoder is one of the most closely guarded secrets in the US military." "Show him what you got!" "Jesus!" "It's the missing encoder." "How'd you get that?" "Picked it up in Hamburg yesterday." "Tell me..." "Could somebody use this to send a ship off course?" " You mean like the Devonshire?" " Did antbody mention the Devonshire?" " No." " Good." "Just answer the man's question." "Well, in theory, if you could alter the timing chip, you could slowly send a ship off course." "Like putting a magnet beside a compass." " Yeah, exactly." " Then check this out." "Those two circles should be on top of each other." "Somebody's tampered with your encoder." "If we knew the position the Devonshire thought she was, could you figure out exactly where she sank?" "Sure." " Wade." " Yeah?" "I have a small favour to ask." "The high-altitude, low-opening jump, the HALO, is where we get the most fatalities." "So listen up." "You free-fall for five miles and use your oxygen," " or you'll die of asphyxiation." " Sounds like my first marriage." "Next: after the free fall, pop the chute at 200 feet below the Chinese radar." "You'll be travelling over 200mph." "This snaps your head back." "Be careful not to crack your skull open on the tanks." " I'll keep that in mind." " One last thing." "When you hit the water, cut away your chute." "90% of people killed doing the HALO jump got tangled in their chutes and drowned." "Seems like a lot just to save the world." "I've got no choice." "I have to prove that ship was deliberately sent off course." " One minute!" " Is the pick-up set?" "After your mission, turn on your beacon and the extraction team wil pick you up after dark." "Buddha bless!" " I... just noticed something." " Yeah?" "This is where the ship thought it was." "And this is where it really is." "But see that island there?" "That means that where he's jumping, between the British and Chinese fleets, technically they're not Chinese waters." " They belong to Vietnam." " Vietnam?" "!" "Does he have any US government markings on him?" "The parachute, the wet suit, the fins..." "If the Vietnamese catch him, they're gonna go crazy." "He didn't even say goodbye." "MISSILE ROOM" "Still interested in hostile takeovers?" "It's the opportunities for travel that I like best about banking." "Bring the boat." "What are you waiting for?" "Get them out of the water." "If I didn't know better, I'd say you were following me around, Mr Bond." "But you have to admit, we seem to have developed an attachment to each other." "Hopefully, not for long." "Another Carver building." "If I didn't know better, I'd say he'd developed an edifice complex." " General Chang?" "!" " Friend of yours?" "Mr Bond." "Miss Lin." " Welcome to Saigon." " It's always nice to see you, Elliot." "I hadn't intended opening until tomorrow, but as you're here, you can help me write the inaugural story." "Your obituaries." "I hope you extended the same courtesy to Paris." "Actually, Mr Bond, you're the one who wrote my late wife's obituary when you asked her to betray me." "Still, let's see. "British secret service agent James Bond and his collaborator" "Wai Lin, of the Chinese People's External Security Force, were found... dead this morning in Vietnam. "" "Lacks punch, don't you think?" "It's old news, Elliot." "We've been working together for months." "Both our governments know what you and General Chang are up to." "I don't think so." "You may have seen the general in the hallway just now, but perhaps, with all your jetting around, you've not perused today's headlines." "I rather like the last one." "It isn't even mine." "I never believe what I read in the press anyway." "Therein lies your problem, Mr Bond." "You see, we're both men of action, but your era and Miss Lin's is passing." "Words are the new weapons, satellites the new artillery." "And you become the new supreme allied... commander?" "Exactly!" "Caesar had his legions, Napoleon had his armies," "I have my divisions - TV, news, magazines." "And by midnight I'll have reached and influenced more people than anyone in the history of this planet save God himself." "The best he ever managed was the Sermon on the Mount." "You really are quite insane." "The distance between insanity and genius is measeured only by success." "Excuse me." "General Chang is waiting." "If you'll forgive me, your appearance has forced me to move up my timetable." "I'll leave you in the capable hands of Mr Stamper and his toys." "Perhaps you'd like to see them." " Sir, the helicopter." " Thanks, Gupta." "Mr Stamper is a protégé of the late Dr Kaufman, who was schooling him in the ancient art of chakra torture." " He was like a father to me." " Really?" "Interesting role model." "According to Eastern philosophy, the body has seven chakra points - energy centres - like the heart or genitals." "The purpose of these implements is to probe those organs, inflicting the maximum amount of pain whilst keeping the victim alive for as long as possible." "Dr Kaufman's record was 52 hours." "I'm hoping to break it." "I would have thought watching your TV shows was torture enough." "Save this one till last." "When you remove Mr Bond's heart, there should just be enough time for him to watch it stop beating." "Excuse me." "Go!" "We can use the banner." "Hope it holds." "Get after them!" "Ready?" "Go!" "Next time I'll take the elavator." "Push!" " Get a car!" " No, no!" "A bike." "A bike is quicker." "Keys." "Someone always forgets them." "What are you doing?" "I'm driving." "Get off!" "Get on the back." "I'm slipping." "Stop fidgeting back there." " What are you..." " Give me that." " Clutch!" " Turn right." " No, left." " Who's driving?" "Clutch!" "Left!" " How many back there?" " I can't see." "Hold on." "What are you..." " Don't get any ideas." " I'd never dream of it." "One." "No, two." " Go for the barrels." " What?" "Very good." "Hold on!" "Let's take the highway." " Helicopter!" " All right, keep your shirt on." " Get on the back." " Are you trying to protect me?" "No, I need to balance the bike." "Get on the back!" "You ready?" "Go!" "Pop the clutch." "It's behind us." "Get out of the way!" "You see the chopper?" "I can't see." "Hold on." "What are you..." "Trapped." "Never." "Would you pass the soap?" "Over there." "You were pretty good with that hook." "It comes from growing up in a rough neighbourhood." " You were pretty good on the bike." " Well..." "That comes from not growing up at all." "Here." "Allow me." "Don't get any idease, Mr Bond." "Just off the cuff, I thought we might link up." " Work hand in hand?" " Stick closer to each other." "Maybe we go after General Chang together." "Your turn." "Thanks for washing my hair." "I work alone." "Lucky for you I stopped by." "I could have taken care of him." "But you didn't." "Give me the earring." "Copy of a Makarov 59." "Standard issue." "Chinese army." "Looks like General Chang wants you dead." "You still think you can do this alone?" "It depends whether your mission is peace or revenge." "This is about stopping a war." "Last year we found Stealth material was missing from one of Chang's bases." " I followed a lead to Carver in Hamburg." " Stealth material?" "We thought he was building a Stealth plane." "No." "Stealth boat." "That's the only way they could get close to the Devonshire so they could drill inside the missile room." "Remember?" "They stole a cruise missile from that ship." "He said he was moving the timetable forward to midnight." "Yes, of course he did." "Under cover of darkness he'll position the Stealth boat near the British fleet, fire the missile into China." " And we will retaliate." " And Carver will provide the pictures." " I have to warn Beijing." " No." "Let's warn both governments." "Get them talking." "It'll give us time to find where the boat is." "Stand up." "It's just like home." "You get the equipment." "I'll send the messages." "On second thoughts... you type." "First we have to find the boat." "Of all the harbours and inlets controlled by General Chang, 22 are in highly populated areas." "That leaves 14 where he could hide a Stealth boat." "You can see it during the day." "It's invisible to radar but not the human eye." "Very novel." "So he'd hide it someplace where he could sail to the Devonshire and back in one night." " This looks familiar." " We've made some improvements." " Have you, indeed?" " OK, four hours out and four hours back." "Assume the boat is travelling at a speed of 30 knots." "I've always been a fan of Chinese technology." "According to this, there are four places where he could harbour the boat." "Up on your left." "Why don't you run a crosscheck on those areas for anything suspicious?" "Ah, the new Walther." "I asked Q to get me one of these." "I've got it." "Look." "Four missing boats, three unexplained drownings." "That has to be it." "Ha Long Bay." "He knows the island." "He says they all avoid it, that it's dangerous for boats to be there at sunset." "But for 5,000 American dollars, he'll take us." "Good." "Maybe he'll take a cheque." "It's mostly dull routine, but every now and then you get to sail on a beautiful evening like this, and sometimes work with a decadent agent of a corrupt Western power." "And they say Communists don't know how to have fun." "I hate to disappoint you, but I don't even have a little red book." "If anything happens to me, the fuses for the mines are in here." "We're gonna finish this together." "And if I may say so, you've found the right decadent, corrupt Western agent as a partner." " See the Stealth?" " No." "It's getting late and this is the last cove in the bay." "Yeah, that's it." " Set the timers for ten minutes." " Time to get out before the ship explodes." "Even if it doesn't sink, it'll show up on radar." " Our fleets will finish the job." " If they got our message." " Up and over." " OK." "We're in position between the fleets." "Fire one missile at the flagship of each fleet." "The Chinese will think the British are rattling the sabre." "The British will think the Chinese are being belligerent." "And the media will provide cool, objective coverage." "Let the mayhem begin." "HMS BEDFORD." "BRITISH FLEET." " Missile lock-on." " Send a signal to the admiralty." ""Task group under missile attack."" "Sir, AWACS reports two waves of land-based MiG 21s inbound." "They should be on our screens in two minutes." "How long before the MiGs are within firing range of the British fleet?" " 12 minutes." " What the hell do I pay you for?" "If she's there, Bond is there." "Stamper, find them." "Wai Lin!" "Camera!" "If she blinks, kill her." "And you, come with me." "Stamper to bridge." "Bond is dead." "Delicious." "Make sure you clear all the mines, and bring the girl up to me." "Are you sure you want her up here?" "It's my business, Mr Gupta." "I like an audience." "Ah, Miss Lin." "Your countrymen are being so cooperative, so predictably eager to save face." "My government knows you're out here." "They're looking for you." "Not according to our radar, where it seems your MiGs are about to attack the British fleet in..." "Gupta, how many minutes?" " Nine minutes to firing range." " And even if they were looking for me, we're on a Stealth boat." "They can't see me, or you, or even your friend, the late Commander Bond, who is, I believe, at this moment on his way to the bottom of the South China Sea." "He's my new anchorman." "Pathetic." "What on earth's going on?" "A message from 007." "Just confirmed by my opposite number in China." "Tell the fleet to search for a ship that's invisible - well, almost invisible to radar." "The Chinese aren't the enemy." "Carver's been playing both sides for fools." "Admiral, sir." "Urgent message from the admiralty." "Look at this." "Have you got anything on the radar that looks very small?" "Lifeboat?" "Periscope?" " No, sir." " A Stealth boat?" "They have gone mad." "What you're about to witness, Miss Lin, is not so much a missile attack but the launch of a new world order." "In precisely five minutes, after your countrymen have attacked the British," "I shall retaliate for dear old England by sending this missile into Beijing, where General Chang has just called an emergency meeting of the Chinese high command." "Unfortunately..." "General Chang will be delayed in traffic, arriving just after the missile has killed your leaders and too late to stop the airforce from sinking the entire British fleet." "But he will be just in time to take over the government, negotiate a truce and emerge as a world leader - with the Nobel Peace Prize." " And what do you get?" " Me?" "Nothing." "Just exclusive broadcasting rights in China for the next 100 years." "Ready to rock and ruin." "If you'll excuse me, my dear, I have something of a deadline to meet." "Prepare for the missile launch." " Mr Gupta." " Hello, Elliot." "Interesting plan." "I think I have something here that belongs to you." "So much for German efficiency." "Mr Stamper." " Don't shoot him... yet." " Hold your fire." "Welcome to my world crisis, Mr Bond." "Even trade, Elliot." "Gupta for Wai Lin." "You can't fire the missile without him." "And it seems you can't resist any woman in my possession." "What are you waiting for?" "Shoot him!" "I told you." "We're gonna finish this together." "How romantic." "Don't you realise how absurd your position is?" "No more absurd than starting a war for ratings." "Great men have always manipulated the media to save the world." "Look at William Randolph Hearst, who told his photographers "You provde the pictures." "I'll provide the war."" "I've just taken it one step further." "Sorry about that." "I..." "tuned out there for a moment, Elliot." "Touché." "Mr Gupta, is the missile ready to fire?" "Press the magic button, Beijing disappears." "Then it seems you've outlived your contract." "You see, Mr Bond, I have a backup plan." "So do I." "He's breached the hull." "They're going to see us on radar." "Sir, we have a small intermittent contact on the surface." "Plot a bearing of 112 degrees." "Very weak signal." "Can't get the range, but it wasn't there a second ago, sir." "Yeoman, tell all ships: "Do not fire on the Chinese for any reason whatsoever."" "Send a message in the clear to the Chinese: "Have sighted unknown ship..."" "Get those fires out!" "Get down there and protect the missile." "Oh, and, Mr Stamper, would you please kill those bastards?" "Nice work." " They're speeding up." " We've have to stop the boat." " Can you take care ofthe engine room?" " Of course." "Good." "Then do it and get off the ship." "I'm going to stop the missile." "Captain, sir, a signal from the Chinese fleet commander." ""To Royal Navy task group." "We've also have the unknown ship on our screens."" ""We will not fire unless it turns towards China."" ""Until then she's yours." "Good hunting."" "Now, Captain, whatever the hell that thing is, sink it." "right, sir." "PWO, is that echo too weak for missile lock?" " Yes, sir." " Right." "We'll do it the old-fashioned way." "Bond turned us into the target." "Along with himself." "Take evasive action." "Prepare the missile countdown immediately." "Initialising launch sequence:" "T minus five minutes and counting." "T minus five minutes and counting." "Sir, they're making 48 knots." "They'll be out of visual range within two minutes." "Keep firing." "Slow them down." "There she is!" "The engines are out." "We're sitting ducks." "Engine room." "Follow me!" "T minus four minutes and counting" "OK." "Well done, PWO." "Officer watch, increase max." "Keep firing." "All hands, abandon ship." "Abandon ship." "Mr Stamper, what are you doing about the girl?" "Perhaps you'd consider looking in the engine room!" "T minus three minutes and counting." "You're too late again, Mr Bond." "It's a bad habit of yours." "There's nothing you can do." "T minus two minutes and counting." "The missile's fully programmed." "It can't be stopped." "In a matter of minutes my plan will succeed." "And thanks largely to your efforts, the British navy will destroy the evidence." "And I'll be out of here - in a Carver news helicopter covering the event." "It's going to be a fantastic show." "I may have some breaking news for you, Elliot." "You forgot the first rule of mass media, Elliot." "Give the people what they want!" "No!" "No!" "T minus one minute and counting" "Drop it, Mr Bond... or I'll drop your friend." "It's over, Stamper." "Let her go." "Not between you and me." "James, try the detonators." "The missile will set them off." "Never argue with a woman." "They're always right." "T minus 40 seconds" "For Carver!" "And Kaufman!" "I owe you an unpleasant death, Mr Bond." "Tminus 20 seconds." "We've die together, Mr Bond." "T minus 10 seconds." "Three, two, one." "M, Bedford reports that Carverwent down with his ship." "It seems that Bond made it." "Moneypenny, take this release: "Elliot Carver is missing, presumed drowned, while on a cruise aboard his luxury yacht in the South China Sea. "" ""At present, the local authorities believe the media mogul committed suicide."" "Commander Bond..." "Colonel Lin." "This is the HMS Bedford." "Are you there?" "They're looking for us, James." "Let's stay undercover." "!" "Your life is a story" "!" "I've already written" "!" "The news is that I am in control" "!" "And I have the power" "!" "To make you surrender" "!" "Not only your body but your soul" "!" "Tomorrow never dies, surrender" "!" "Tomorrow will arrive on time" "!" "I'll tease and tantalise" "!" "With every line" "!" "Till you are mine" "!"
