Here you are.

Goodbye, Q.

Thanks for all you've done.

What?

You're a hell of

a field operative.

Now, go. I'll see

you back in London.

No more business.

Gentlemen, enjoy yourselves.

Hi, there!

Hi! How are you?

This Kwang,

he seems like trouble.

Why show them the labs?

Don't worry.

He won't expose the operation.

His Excellency,

el Presidente Lopez.

Hector.

There's been

a mistake with my check.

Look at it.

It's half the usual amount.

You were very quiet

when I was arrested.

Remember, you're

only President for life.

Watch the birdie, you bastard.

Take his arm.

Who'd have a signature gun?

James Bond.

This is the property of

Her Majesty's government.

How did you get it?

Piss off.

Who ordered you

to kill Sanchez?

No one. He's a rogue agent.

I've got orders to take him

back, one way or the other.

We're Hong Kong Narcotics,

you bastard!

Sanchez is taking us to the

heart of his operations.

I've been setting it

up for years!

I just hope that little stunt

of yours hasn't scared him off.

Get me out of

these bloody things.

No, Commander. You're a

loose cannon on deck.

I'm shipping you

straight back to London.

Leave him! No!

Come on!

Don't let them take you alive.

He's still alive.

Who was it? Who sent you?

Cyanide.

Hey, amigo!

How do you feel?

I'll survive.

Lupe, please.

The Wavekrest is arriving tonight.

Krest is coming here.

No, no, no, I'll call you back.

Pedro, bring us some

coffee, por favor.

Good.

Baby, please?

Well, we both had

close calls last night.

You were just in time.

Things were

about to turn nasty.

Who were those guys?

Freelance hit team.

What did they want with you?

One of them must have

recognized me in the casino.

They were afraid I'd warn

you, spoil their plans.

So you knew them?

I used to work for

the British government.

We kept dossiers on such people.

British agent.

I knew it.

You have class.

Those men tried to kill me.

Who would do such a thing?

Someone close to you.

Cream? Sugar?

No.

Did they tell you this?

They were well-briefed, obviously

by someone on the inside.

Did they mention a name?

No.

Only that they were expecting

to be paid a great deal of cash

by someone arriving

in Isthmus tonight.

You suspect someone?

Everyone in my

organization is 100% loyal.

Then you have

nothing to worry about.

Yeah, well, I have

to go meet some people.

Why don't you rest here?

No. I have to go

back to my hotel.

No. Don't go to the hotel.

Save your money. I insist.

Stay here.

Enjoy my hospitality.

Lupe, show him the

easy way up, please.

You are not gonna believe

who this guy is.

Former British agent.

How did you know that?

Because I know things.

I want to meet

Krest's boat tonight.

We'll need

a dozen reliable men.

Is there a problem with Krest?

We'll see. And bring Lupe.

She was there.

He's not gonna

lie in front of her.

What are you doing?

I've had my fill of

Sanchez's hospitality.

He told you to stay. You're

asking for big trouble.

Look, there's no need

for you to get involved.

Just give me five minutes,

then scream your head off.

James, please, listen to me.

There's guards

all over the place.

You'll never make it.

I'm going shopping.

I won't be long.

Please don't. Not now.

Senor Sanchez said.

I haven't had one of

these in five years.

Don't worry.

007 always comes back.

James, hi.

I thought I told

you to leave, Q.

We couldn't go without knowing

what had happened to you.

Get your bags packed, Q.

What the hell is

the matter with you?

Just a couple of things.

Kwang and his team of

British agents are dead.

Sanchez is alive.

I saw you in Heller's office.

You're working with them. No.

I want the truth.

I am telling the truth.

Sanchez has arranged to buy four

Stinger missiles from the Contras,

and he's threatened to shoot

down an American airliner

if the DEA doesn't lay off.

What's that got to

do with you and Heller?

Felix gave me a letter at his

wedding from the Attorney General

granting Heller immunity

if he gets the Stingers back.

Did he go for the deal?

Yes.

And then you missed Sanchez,

and Heller panicked and

he said the deal was off,

and that I was dead

if he ever saw me again.

There's more to this than

your personal vendetta.

It's a mess.

Sanchez has

tripled his security.

You'll never get

another shot at him.

We don't have to.

Meet me at the harbor

master's office in two hours.

Q, bring the Rolls round

to the front of the hotel.

Yes, sir.

Senor Bond.

Senor Montelongo,

I'm making a withdrawal.

Pilot coming aboard, sir.

Well? Take me to the bridge.

Gracias, Captain.

I'll take over now.

You? You're the harbor pilot?

No, I'm his secretary!

All yours, sir... Ma'am.

Do you think you're

going in a bit too fast?

You wanna do the driving?

You take the wheel.

Full speed astern.

What the hell are you doing?

Check the forward component!

Harbor pilot went crazy.

I'd stick to flying

if I were you.

I got the job done.

Franz, what a surprise!

I didn't think you'd be here.

Yeah. I like surprises.

You seem to be having

a lot of problems lately.

Well, we had this

crazy harbor pilot.

Let's talk about

the money you owe me.

Why don't we talk inside.

Does he have a safe?

Not up here. Maybe below.

Have a look around.

Do I have this right?

He water-skied behind the

plane, jumps on it...

No, no. He was...

Well, yeah.

He threw the pilots out

and flew away.

Like a little bird.

The knife.

Pedro.

Would I make up a story like that?

You must have seen something.

Where's 007? He's coming.

That's not my money. I swear.

That's right, amigo. It's mine.

You think I'm stupid, huh?

You rip me off, then use my own

money to pay someone to kill me?

You want it so bad?

Then take it!

What are you doing?

Wait. Let me talk.

It's not my money!

No! What the...

That hurts. Please!

What are you doing?

Sanchez.

Please, Franz. No!

What about the money, patron?

Launder it.

This is where you leave.

Take the plane. I'll

see you both in Miami.

Aren't you coming?

No. They'll be after me.

It'll be safer on my own.

Come on, my dear.

See you later.

What's that?

Bond's clothes. They're clean.

Sorry to wake you, hermano.

I thought you'd like to know the

information you gave me paid off.

I got the guy who set me up.

Only one guy?

What do you mean?

I just thought that

no one would be stupid enough to

try to take you on on their own.

Listen, I want you to

come with me tomorrow.

Where are we going?

It's a surprise.

You're gonna like it.

James, what are you

doing back here?

I don't think your being

here's a good idea, Lupe.

It's all right. Franz is having

dinner with the Chinese.

Do you know where

he's taking me tomorrow?

He's showing them

a special place.

I don't know where.

James, don't go. I'm scared.

What's gonna happen to us?

Don't worry.

When this is all over, I'll

make sure you get back home.

Home? It took me 15 years
