Die Another Day

PUKCH`ONG COAST, NORTH KOREA

Look, what is this? I`m supposed to...

Colonel Tan-Sun Moon`s HQ

De-Militarised Zone, North Korea

Open the bag.

That will teach you to lecture me.

Retract the blast doors.

Find me a new anger therapist.

I am Zao.

You are late.

Mr Van Bierk. l`ve been

looking forward to this meeting.

Me, too.

My African military friends

owe you many thanks, Colonel Moon.

Few men have the guts to trade

conflict diamonds since the UN embargo.

I know all about the UN.

I studied at Oxford and Harvard.

Majored in Western hypocrisy.

From your modest little collection of cars,

I would never have guessed.

- Show me the diamonds.

- Show me the weapons.

Bring the weapons.

Hiding weapons in the demilitarised zone.

It`s a bit of a minefield out there.

America`s cultural contribution.

One million land mines,

and my hovercrafts float right over them.

RPGs, flamethrowers, automatic weapons

and enough ammunition

to run a small war.

My diamonds?

Check it over quick.

- Don`t blow it all at once.

- I`ve special plans for this consignment.

His name is James Bond.

A British assassin.

Mr Van Bierk,

let me show you something.

Our new tank buster.

- Depleted uranium shells, naturally.

- Naturally.

And how do you propose to kill me now...

Mr Bond?

It`s pathetic that you British still believe

you have the right to police the world.

But you will not live to see the day

all Korea is ruled by the North.

Then you and I

have something in common.

Who is it?

Where`s my son?

It`s the General.

Hello, Father.

Why is there a fire?

I`ll be there in five minutes.

Get the weapons out of here...

and kill the spy.

Saved by the bell.

My son is dead.

I don`t condone what they do here.

Tell it to the concierge.

Still you jest.

Defiant to the last.

Your people have abandoned you.

Your very existence denied.

Why stay silent?

It doesn`t matter any more.

Things are out of my hands.

We reach the end, Mr Bond.

Spare me the unpleasantries.

carved Korea in two.

And then you arrive.

A British spy. An assassin.

And now the hardliners have their proof

we cannot trust the West.

You...

You took away my son.

Your firing squad

should have done the job for me.

I hoped a Western education would help

him become a bridge between our worlds.

But all it did was to corrupt him.

Let`s get this over with, shall we?

My son had an ally in the West.

For the last time, who was it?

Who made him betray

his country and his name?

The same person who betrayed me.

Turn around!

Start walking.

Keep walking, please.

Keep moving.

Zao!

I`m being traded.

- For you.

- Keep moving. Keep walking, please.

Your time will come.

Not as soon as yours.

Keep walking, please.

Look at him.

You`d think he was some kind of a hero.

OK, hold him tight.

- Watch his legs now.

- All right, let`s go.

No biological agents

in the prelim scan. He`s clean.

Pulse 72.

Blood pressure 120 over 80.

Indications of neurotoxins, histamine,

serotonin, enzyme inhibitors.

Scorpion venom.

Also traces of a venom antiserum.

They`d sting him,

then administer the antidote.

Yet his internal organs seem unaffected.

Liver not too good.

It`s definitely him, then.

Morning.

Welcome back.

Such hospitality.

You don`t seem too pleased to see me.

If I`d had my way,

you`d still be in North Korea.

Your freedom came at too high a price.

Zao.

He tried to blow up a summit

between South Korea and China.

Took out three Chinese agents

before he was caught.

And now he`s free.

I never asked to be traded.

- I`d rather die in prison than let him loose.

- You had your cyanide.

Threw it away years ago.

What the hell is this about?

The top US agent in the North Korean

High Command was executed last week.

The Americans intercepted a signal

from your prison naming him.

- And they think it`s me?

- You were the only inmate.

They concluded you cracked

and were haemorrhaging information.

We had to get you out.

And what do you think?

With drugs, you wouldn`t know

what you did or didn`t say.

I know the rules.

And number one is no deals.

Get caught and you`re given up.

The mission was compromised.

Moon got a call exposing me.

He had a partner in the West.

Even his father knew about it.

- Whether that`s true or not, it`s irrelevant.

- No, it isn`t.

The same person who set me up then

has just set me up again to get Zao out.

So I`m going after him.

The only place you`re going

is our evaluation centre in the Falklands.

- Double-O status rescinded.

- Along with my freedom?

For as long as I deem necessary, yes.

You`re no use to anyone now.

- He`s gone into cardiac arrest.

- Crash trolley. Notify his superiors. Now!

He`s flatlining on the ECG.

Get me some atropine. We`re losing him!

Stand by. Clear.

I`m checkin` out.

Thanks for the kiss of life.

My usual suite, please.

Do you have a credit card?

Or even any luggage, sir?

Mr Bond, so good to see you.

It`s been a long time.

Mr Chang.

Open the Presidential Suite.

Could you send up my tailor

and some food?

The lobster`s good,

with quails` eggs and sliced seaweed.

- And if there`s any left, a `61 Bollinger.

- Of course.

Do it quickly.

Been busy, have we, Mr Bond?

Just surviving, Mr Chang.

Just surviving.

I am Peaceful Fountains of Desire.

The masseuse.

I come with compliments of the manager.

I`m sure you do. Come in.

On the bed, please. Face down.

Yes, of course.

I`m not that kind of masseuse.

I`m not that kind of customer.

You think I haven`t always known

you`re Chinese Intelligence, Chang?

- Hong Kong`s our turf now, Bond.

- Don`t worry. I`m not here to take it back.

Put your hands down.

What the hell do you want?

Just to help you settle a score.

Zao killed three of your men.

You get me into North Korea,

I`ll take care of him for you.

What`s in it for you?

Chance to get even.

Zao has information I need.

- I`ll have to ask Beijing.

- Do it.

Now get out. Unless you

really want to give me a massage.

Ah, Mr Bond.

A little ``thank you`` from us.

- Cuba?

- It seems Mr Zao`s lost himself in Havana.

If you find him, say goodbye from us.

With pleasure.

HAVANA:

- S?

- I`m here to pick up Delectados.

Delectados? We haven`t

made Delectados in 30 years.

I`m from Universal Exports.

Check with your boss.

Follow me.

Your passport, seor.

I`d come to think the Delectados

would never be smoked.

They are particularly hazardous

for one`s health, Mr...

Bond.

Mr Bond.

- D`you know why?

- It`s the addition of the Volado tobacco.

Slow-burning.

It never goes out.

- Just like a sleeper.

- Sorry for the rude awakening.

I love my country, Mr Bond.

I`d never ask you to betray your people.

I`m after a North Korean.
