(LAUGHING)

Let me know what you

recover from his computer.

Has he transmitted the lists? If so, to whom?

I want this resolved.

Yes, ma'am.

His name is Tiago Rodriguez.

He was a brilliant agent.

But he started operating beyond

his brief, hacking the Chinese.

The handover was coming up and they

were onto him, so I gave him up.

I got six agents in return

and a peaceful transition.

We should go, ma'am. Board of

Inquiry begins in 30 minutes.

I want to know what's

on that computer.

Now, looking at

Silva's computer,

it seems to me he's done a number

of slightly unusual things.

He's established failsafe

protocols to wipe the memory

if there's any attempt

to access certain files.

Only six people in the world could

program safeguards like that.

Of course there are.

Can you get past them?

I invented them.

Right, then.

Let's see what you've

got for us, Mr. Silva.

We're in.

(EXHALES)

Sir, what do you make of this?

It's his Omega site.

Most encrypted level he has.

Looks like obfuscated code

to conceal its true purpose.

Security through obscurity.

Ladies and gentlemen,

if I might have order?

I'd like to begin

the proceedings.

We're gathered today to

address important issues

concerning the future of

our national security.

(GROANS LOUDLY)

Going somewhere?

So you believe your stewardship

of MI6 during the recent crisis

has been up to scratch?

Well, I believe we have

apprehended the responsible party

and are taking all

necessary steps

to ensure that the sensitive

information is contained.

Oh,

so it's a job well done.

. I'm not saying it's

gone perfectly, but..

You'll forgive me for not

putting up the bunting.

I find it rather difficult

to overlook monumental

security breaches

and dead operatives

for which you are almost

single-handedly responsible.

He's using a polymorphic

engine to mutate the code.

Whenever I try to gain

access, it changes.

It's like solving a Rubik's

cube that's fighting back.

Stop.

Go in on that.

Granborough.

Granborough Road. It's an old Tube

station on the Metropolitan Line.

Been closed for years.

Use that as a key.

Oh, look, it's a map!

It's London.

Subterranean London.

What's going on? Why

are the doors open?

(COMPUTER BEEPING)

Oh, no.

Can someone tell me how the

hell he got into our system?

Oh, sh*t.

Oh, sh*t, sh*t, sh*t.

He hacked us.

(ALARM BLARING)

Oh, no.

Q.

He's gone.

I'm in a stairwell

below isolation.

Do you read me, Q?

I can hear you. I'm

looking for you.

Got you. Tracking

your location.

Just keep moving forward.

Enter the next service

door on your right.

If you're through that door,

you should be in the Tube.

I'm in the Tube.

Bond, this isn't an escape.

This was years in the planning.

He wanted us to capture him, he

wanted us to access his computer.

It was all planned.

Blowing up HQ. Knowing

the emergency protocols.

Knowing we'd

retreat down here.

I've got all that. It's what he's

got planned next that worries me.

District Line is the closest. There's

a service door on your left.

Got it.

It won't open.

It will. Put your

back into it.

Why don't you come down here

and put your back into it?

(GRUNTING)

No, it's stuck.

Oh, good. There's

a train coming.

Hmm. That's vexing.

I'm through.

Told you.

We alerted security.

Police are on their way.

Where are you now?

Temple Tube station.

Along with half of London.

Oh, I see you. There you are.

I know where I am, Q.

Where's he?

Give us a second. I'm

looking for him.

ANNOUNCER:
Mind the gap.

BOND:
There's too many people.

I can't see him.

Welcome to rush

hour on the Tube.

Not something you'd

know much about.

Mind the gap.

The train's leaving.

Do I get on the train?

Don't get on. I'm not sure he's on it.

Give us a minute.

Do I get on the train?

Bond.

What? Get on the train.

He's keen to get home.

Will you open the

door, please?

Open the door.

Health and Safety. Carry on.

Q:
Where are you?

Take a wild guess, Q.

He's in disguise,

dressed as a policeman.

Of course he is.

Where's he going?

Where's he going?

He's going for M. Tell Tanner.

Get her out of there.

You've overlooked, or chosen

to ignore, hard evidence

and consistently,

almost obstinately...

Silva's escaped.

Bond's in pursuit.

We need to get you to a

secure location immediately.

I'll be damned if I'm

gonna show her my back.

Are we straining

your attention?

No. Please, Minister, proceed.

Excuse me.

Move! Move!

(PEOPLE SHOUTING)

(CHUCKLES)

(LAUGHING)

It's as if you

insist on pretending

we still live in a

golden age of espionage

where human intelligence was

the only resource available.

Well, I find this rather

old-fashioned belief

demonstrates a reckless

disregard for...

Excuse me, Minister, I

don't mean to interrupt,

but just for the

sake of variety,

might we actually hear

from the witness?

Of course.

Thank you.

Oh!

I won't miss next

time, Mr. Silva.

Not bad. Not bad, James,

for a physical wreck.

Oi. Thank you.

You caught me.

(SIGHS)

Now, here's your prize.

The latest thing from

my local toy store.

It's called radio.

Whew!

I do hope that wasn't for me.

(LAUGHS) No.

But that is.

(TRAIN APPROACHING)

(SIRENS WAILING)

M:
Chairman, Ministers.

Today I've

repeatedly heard how

irrelevant my

department has become.

Why do we need agents?

The Double-O section?

Isn't it all rather quaint?

Well, I suppose I see a

different world than you do.

And the truth is that

what I see frightens me.

I'm frightened because our enemies

are no longer known to us.

They do not exist on a map.

They're not nations.

They are individuals.

Look around you.

Who do you fear?

Can you see a face? A uniform?

A flag? No.

Our world is not more

transparent now.

It's more opaque.

It's in the shadows.

That's where we

must do battle.

So, before you declare us

irrelevant, ask yourselves,

how safe do you feel?

I've just one more

thing to say.

My late husband was a

great lover of poetry.

And, um...

I suppose some of it sunk in,

despite my best intentions.

And here today I remember

this, I think from Tennyson:

"We are not now that strength,

"which in old days Moved

earth and heaven;

; "That which we are, we are.

"One equal temper

of heroic hearts,

"Made weak by time"

"and fate,"

"but strong in will."

"To strive, to seek,"

"to find"

"and not to yield."

(PEOPLE SCREAMING)

Go, go, go, go!

Move!

Move! Go! Move!

(SIRENS WAILING IN DISTANCE)

Are you kidnapping me?

That would be one way

of looking at it.

Too many people are

dying because of me.

If he wants you, he'll

have to come and get you.

We've been one step behind

Silva from the start.

It's time to get out in

front, change the game.

And I'm to be the bait?

All right. But just us.

No one else.

Q? I need help.

I'm tracking the car.

Where are you going?

I've got M. We're

about to disappear.

What?

I need you to lay a trail of

breadcrumbs impossible to follow

for anyone except Silva.
