Now, diamonds aren`t just expensive

stones. They are the stuff of dreams.

And the means to make dreams real.

Imagine being able to bring light and

warmth to the darkest parts of the world.

Imagine being able to grow crops

the year round, bringing an end to hunger.

Imagine a second sun,

shining like a diamond in the sky.

Let there be light.

I give you Icarus!

Icarus is unique. Its miraculous

silver skin will inhale the sun`s light

and breathe it gently

upon the earth`s surface.

You have no idea how much Icarus

is about to change your world.

And now let us brighten this night

with our inner radiance.

- Vlad, show me the modifications.

- Yeah.

Here is the self-defence mechanism

you asked me to build in.

Armed.

- And very dangerous.

- Oh, very.

M warned me this would happen.

Ah. That`s why you tried so hard

not to be interested in me.

Oh, God, you`re even worse

than your file says.

They don`t look too convinced.

Come on. Put your back into it, eh?

I know all about you, 007.

Sex for dinner, death for breakfast.

It won`t work with me.

- No?

- No.

- You`re getting good at this.

- Oh, stop it. Are we still being watched?

- Oh, they left ages ago.

- Oh, God, you`re impossible.

Come on, let`s get out of here.

You better stay here tonight.

Keep up the charade of being lovers.

All right.

I admire your restraint. You were here

a full two hours before anything blew up.

The way you`re going,

you`ll get us both killed.

James, tell me what really happened

in North Korea.

I was betrayed. That was all.

Occupational hazard.

This is crazy. You`re a double-O.

It`s only a number.

James.

Be careful.

Go back to your room.

I`ll come back for you.

Why do you want to kill me?

I thought it was the humane thing to do.

Who sent you?

Your mama. And she told me to tell you

she`s really disappointed in you.

I`ll let you in on a little secret.

This mine is fake.

But the lasers...

are real.

She won`t talk.

Let`s make it permanent.

I`ll use the laser.

Don`t leave a mess.

- Jinx.

- James! James! No, no, turn it off! Off!

Off!

James, I could use a little help here!

Switch if off!

Or I`m gonna be half the girl I used to be!

So, the girl who hates

to be tied down, huh?

- Are you gonna get me off this thing?

- What are you? CIA?

NSA. Hello? We`re on the same side.

- Doesn`t mean we`re after the same thing.

- Sure it does.

World peace, unconditional love, and

your little friend with the expensive acne.

- Zao?

- Yeah, Zao.

He`s back there with some

weird psychedelic light mask.

Probably brought it from the Cuban clinic.

He couldn`t have brought it.

It was already here.

It belongs to another Korean.

His boss.

- Kil can give us a hand to get out of here.

- I got a better idea.

- I`m going to get backup.

- Wait.

Go to Miranda first. She`s MI6.

Warn her to get out.

And what are you gonna do?

Unfinished business.

So you live to die another day...

Colonel.

At last. I was beginning

to think you`d never guess.

Was it painful?

- The gene therapy?

- You couldn`t possibly imagine.

Oh, good. I`m glad to hear that.

Oh, but there have been compensations.

Like watching you

flail around in your ignorance.

Granting you life day by day

just to see if you`d get wise. It`s been fun.

Well, the fun is about

to come to a dead end.

We only met briefly, you and I.

But you left a lasting impression.

When your intervention forced me

to present the world with a new face,

I chose to model

the disgusting Gustav Graves on you.

Oh, just in the details.

That unjustifiable swagger.

Your crass quips - a defence mechanism

concealing such inadequacy.

My defence mechanism is right here.

So... Miss Frost isn`t all she seems.

Looks can be deceptive.

Yes.

By the way, did you find out

who betrayed you in North Korea?

Only a matter of time.

You never thought of looking

inside your own organisation?

She was right under your nose.

It was so good of you

to bring your gun to bed with us.

Yes. Occupational hazard.

You see, I have a gift.

An instinct for sensing

people`s weaknesses.

Yours is women. Hers and mine

is winning whatever the cost.

So when I arranged for that fatal

overdose for the true victor at Sydney,

I won myself my very own MI6 agent,

using everything at my disposal -

her brains, her talent,

even her sex.

The coldest weapon of all.

Hello?

Miranda?

- There will be others after me, you know.

- You mean your American friend Jinx.

Soon to be the victim of a tragedy.

An ice palace can be

such a treacherous place.

Hand over the toys.

Oh, yeah.

You know, I`ve missed

your sparkling personality.

How`s that for a punch line?

Kill him.

I enjoyed last night, James.

But it really is death for breakfast.

Kill him quietly.

Kill him! Now!

- He got away.

- No matter.

The pleasure of the kill is in the chase.

Bring me the generals.

Gentlemen,

I promised you a demonstration.

Now you will see the true power of Icarus.

The Western spy runs, but he cannot hide.

Icarus will lock onto the heat signature

and concentrate the sun`s power.

Hey, boss, he beat your time.

Time to draw the line.

Global warming is a terrible thing.

Yeah, nice moves. Just like Bond.

He was pretty vigorous last night as well.

He did you?

I didn`t know he was that desperate.

He won`t come back for you. He just died

running, trying to save his own skin.

Yeah.

That`s pretty good tailoring.

I hope it doesn`t shrink when it gets wet.

Soon we will be victorious.

We`ve got one hour to wrap this up.

Let`s move.

Come on, Jinx. Where are you?

All units report. Now!

Warning. Adaptive camouflage failure.

Time to give the American her bath.

Adaptive camouflage restored.

Vlad, does the word ``ergonomics``

mean anything to you? Man? Machine?

This is still a suitcase.

Finish it, will you?

Come on. It`s warm in here. Come on.

The cold kept you alive, huh?

Must have kept you alive. Come on.

That`s it.

What took you so long?

Agent Johnson.

- James.

- Charles.

OK. Bring us up to speed on this.

Another division`s been mobilised

north of the DMZ.

- That`s 80,000 troops and counting.

- And another million in reserve.

Moon`s father won`t let it turn into a war.

Moon`s under arrest.

Hardliners staged a coup last night.

The fact remains you deliberately

misled me by implicating Bond.

- If you`d told us of your agent in Cuba...

- She`d be dead, betrayed by your mole.

We wouldn`t have had a mole

if you`d told us Miss Frost and Moon

were on the Harvard

fencing team together.

Knowing who to trust

is everything in this business.

Well, well. James Bond.

- Just in time for the fireworks.

- Let`s get down to business.

We`re at DEFCON 2.

And if the North goes South,

they`re gonna go south big time.

You don`t just stroll through

the world`s biggest minefield.

You need some kind of an edge. Icarus.

We`re taking care of that

with an ASAT launch in one hour.

- Where`s Graves?

- In the middle of a North Korean air base.

Ian Fleming

Ian Lancaster Fleming (28 May 1908 – 12 August 1964) was an English author, journalist and naval intelligence officer who is best known for his James Bond series of spy novels. Fleming came from a wealthy family connected to the merchant bank Robert Fleming & Co., and his father was the Member of Parliament for Henley from 1910 until his death on the Western Front in 1917. Educated at Eton, Sandhurst and, briefly, the universities of Munich and Geneva, Fleming moved through several jobs before he started writing. While working for Britain's Naval Intelligence Division during the Second World War, Fleming was involved in planning Operation Goldeneye and in the planning and oversight of two intelligence units, 30 Assault Unit and T-Force. His wartime service and his career as a journalist provided much of the background, detail and depth of the James Bond novels. Fleming wrote his first Bond novel, Casino Royale, in 1952. It was a success, with three print runs being commissioned to cope with the demand. Eleven Bond novels and two collections of short stories followed between 1953 and 1966. The novels revolved around James Bond, an officer in the Secret Intelligence Service, commonly known as MI6. Bond was also known by his code number, 007, and was a commander in the Royal Naval Reserve. The Bond stories rank among the best-selling series of fictional books of all time, having sold over 100 million copies worldwide. Fleming also wrote the children's story Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang and two works of non-fiction. In 2008, The Times ranked Fleming 14th on its list of "The 50 greatest British writers since 1945". Fleming was married to Ann Charteris, who was divorced from the second Viscount Rothermere because of her affair with the author. Fleming and Charteris had a son, Caspar. Fleming was a heavy smoker and drinker for most of his life and succumbed to heart disease in 1964 at the age of 56. Two of his James Bond books were published posthumously; other writers have since produced Bond novels. Fleming's creation has appeared in film twenty-six times, portrayed by seven actors. more…
