Spectre Page #2

three point two seconds.

Fully bulletproof.

A few little tricks up her sleeve.

It's a shame, really.

She was meant for you,

but she's been

reassigned to 009.

But you can have this.

Does it do anything?

It tells the time.

Might help with your

punctuality issues.

M's idea?

Precisely.

Oh, one word of warning.

The alarm is rather loud.

If you know what I mean.

I think I do.

Oh, yes. That old thing is

taking quite a bit of time.

Mind you, there wasn't

much left to work on.

Only a steering wheel.

I believe I said, "Bring it back in one

piece," not, "Bring back one piece."

Anyway, enjoy

your downtime, 007.

- Q?

- Yes?

Well, now you know exactly

where I am all of the time.

Will you do something for me?

What do you have

in mind, exactly?

Make me disappear.

May I remind you that

I answer directly to M.

I also have a mortgage.

And two cats to feed.

Well, then I suggest

you trust me,

for the sake of the cats.

Well, it's lovely to

see you, 007. Lovely.

Um, now, I meant to tell you,

the Smart Blood program is obviously

still in its developmental phase.

So we may experience the odd drop in

coverage during the first 24 hours...

48 hours after administration,

but after that it

should work perfectly.

I'll send you a postcard.

Please, don't.

Morning.

What's that?

Oh, it's just something from an admirer.

It's not your birthday, is it?

No, sir.

That was last week.

Morning.

009 has arrived to pick up the DB10, sir.

He's waiting upstairs.

Oh, good.

Yes, fine.

Oh, sh*t.

I'm sorry for your loss.

You knew my husband?

All too briefly.

What do you do?

Life insurance.

A little late for that.

For your husband, yes.

But what about you?

Me?

I hear the life expectancy of

some widows can be very short.

How can you talk like this?

Can't you see I'm grieving?

No.

What a lovely view.

You're wasting your time.

There are 100 more

that will come after me.

All you buy me is five minutes.

Excellent.

Time for a drink.

You killed him,

didn't you?

My husband.

He was an assassin.

Trust me, he won't

take it personally.

You signed my death warrant.

I was respected.

Loyal to a man you hated.

He trusted my silence.

With him gone, I'm a dead woman.

I can trust nobody.

I know the feeling well.

Well, I can tell you

that I don't trust you.

Well, then you have

impeccable instincts.

If you don't leave now,

we'll die together.

I can think of worse ways to go.

Then you're

obviously crazy, Mister...

Bond.

James Bond.

These people,

if you just knew

what they could do.

The power they have.

Did your husband ever mention

"The Pale King?"

No.

The organization,

they hardly ever meet.

But because of what

happened to my husband,

they meet tonight.

Why?

To choose a replacement.

Where?

The Palazzo Cardenza.

Midnight.

Sounds like fun.

I might drop by.

He was obsessed.

He spent more time

with them than with me.

Then the man was a fool.

Leaving your number?

I've called an American friend of mine.

Felix.

He'll contact his embassy

and get you out of here.

You'll be safe.

Don't go, James.

If you go there,

you're crossing over to a

place where there is no mercy.

I have to go.

Identify yourself, a**hole.

Who are you?

I'm Mickey Mouse. Who are you?

...pharmacy sites

has provided

an excellent new sales platform.

We have adapted many of them into

clearinghouses for unapproved drugs.

In addition to which,

the latest figures show

that we presently control

70% of antimalarial vaccines,

34% of H.I.V.,

and 40% of all oncological drugs

across Sub-Saharan Africa.

But we face challenges

from the WHO

in their campaign against our

counterfeit pharmaceuticals.

We have now identified the

key individuals to target.

We expect the same

success as we had

against the Council

on Human Trafficking.

Since the board's resignation...

..we have placed 160,000 migrated females

into the leisure sector.

The impending completion of

the Global Surveillance initiative...

...will mean our capability

is second to none...

...and now is the moment

for aggressive expansion.

The news is only good...

Don't let me interrupt you.

The news is only good...

Our increased surveillance capability...

...means government

intelligence agencies...

...are easily counteracted.

We are winning.

Thank you, Doctor.

Now, on to the matter at hand.

After the success of our

attacks in Hamburg and Tunisia,

the aborted attack

in Mexico City

and the death of our valued colleague,

Marco Sciarra,

leaves one of his duties

outstanding.

Signor Guerra,

The Pale King must be terminated.

Will you make

the journey to Altaussee?

Of course.

My loyalty to this organization is total.

I will protect it with my last breath.

There will be no more...

...amateurs.

No more shows of weakness.

Does anyone challenge Signor

Guerra for this position?

Welcome.

State your credentials for

succeeding Signor Sciarra.

It's funny.

All that excitement in Mexico

City rang a distant bell.

And now,

suddenly, this evening,

it makes perfect sense.

Welcome, James.

It's been a long time.

But, finally, here we are.

What took you so long?

Cuckoo.

Ciao, Mickey Mouse.

Oh, you've got to be kidding me.

No.

Moneypenny.

Bond?

Listen, Moneypenny.

Hamburg, Tunisia,

Mexico City, they're all linked.

It's one organization

coordinating multiple attacks.

So, she was right.

Of course, she was.

- I ran that check.

- Who is it?

Oh, my boss had his

credit card stolen.

It's nothing.

Why don't you go back to sleep.

Don't be long.

- Who was that?

- No one.

No, it wasn't.

It's just a friend.

At this time of night?

It's called life, James.

You should try it sometime.

The Pale King. It looks like

you've had dealings with him before.

Quantum.

Of course.

Mr. White!

That's him.

Last unconfirmed sighting,

Altaussee in Austria, four months ago.

Hold that thought.

You still there?

Yeah.

Run another name, will you?

Okay. Go.

A man called

Franz Oberhauser. He's...

And check his files

before and after his death.

After his death?

What are you talking about?

Please, just do it.

Okay, Q, give me something.

That's more like it.

Here goes nothing.

Good evening.

Do not let them tell you

we need less surveillance.

We need more. Much more.

I say again, the Nine Eyes

committee would have full access

to the combined intelligence

streams of all member states.

More data, more analysis,

less likelihood of

a terrorist attack.

Ladies and gentlemen,

it's time for the security

services of the world to unite.

Alone, we are weak.

Together, we're a global power.

An unelected one.

Thank you.

Thank you.

We will now vote

on the resolution.

Ladies and gentlemen,

please cast your vote.

The vote is eight

to one in favor.

However, as you know,

we cannot proceed

unless by unanimous vote.

The Nine Eyes motion

is therefore not passed.

Democracy.

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.

This evening's session is adjourned.
