The Living Daylights Page #5

It's all right, go ahead.

I have to get back to the air base.

- Half the Russian army's looking for you.

- You won't help?

No.

Then at least put me in touch

with the mujaheddin.

Deputy Commander

of the Eastern District.

I was caught reconnoitering the air base.

Thankfully, they didn't know who I was.

Now, who are you?

- I work for the British government.

- (laughter)

We've uncovered a plot by General Koskov

to purchase American hi-tech weapons.

Arms that could be used

against you and your men.

That is important. You must go to

our commander in the Khyber Pass.

That could take days. I have to get back

to the air base before Koskov leaves.

You and the woman come with us tomorrow.

After our mission, I'll see what I can do.

That'll be too late.

- I need a gun and some guides.

- Impossible.

I cannot spare men or the horses.

And now it is time to rest.

We leave at sunrise.

I was worried for you, James.

What's going to happen to us?

Kheista.

What does that mean?

It means "beautiful" in Afghan.

We're with the mujaheddin.

We leave with them in the morning

on some kind of operation.

- And you're going to the Khyber Pass.

- You're not coming with me?

No. I'll catch up with you later.

You're going back for Georgi, aren't you?

- It's too dangerous. Don't go.

- I have to.

You have to what? Get killed?

- I won't wait for you.

- Fine.

Then I'll have Kamran

send you direct to London.

You dumb, stubborn, stupid...

Konskazadnice!

- What's that supposed to mean?

- Back end of horse.

Are you calling me a horse's arse?

I might never see you again.

You will. I promise.

(speaks Russian)

(shouts in Afghan)

(speaking Afghan)

Raw opium. Worth half a billion

dollars on the streets of New York.

(gunshots)

- What are you up to, Kamran? Selling dope?

- Not so loud.

- That's the chief of the Snow Leopards.

- Who?

- The biggest opium dealer in the area.

- I work for them from time to time.

I don't care if the Russians die

from my bullets or their opium.

Besides, we need the money to buy arms.

- Georgi.

- And the diamonds.

He arranged for the Russians

to buy a large quantity of hi-tech weapons.

He's using the down payment

to buy this opium instead.

He can turn a huge profit in days and

still provide the Russians with their arms.

- Unless...

- Go on.

- If the opium never arrives.

- You don't cross The Snow Leopards.

This is their biggest deal

since the invasion.

You won't help?

(shouts in Afghan)

Perhaps. As long as nothing is done

till the Russians pay up and leave.

Right. I'll need some plastic explosives

and a timer.

I'll see what I can do.

(speaks Afghan)

(Necros speaks Afghan)

(speaks Afghan)

- James is trapped. You must help him.

- He'll have to take his chances.

- You owe him your life.

- There's nothing more I can do.

Yes, there is.

Women.

Wait here.

We'll come back for you.

(speaks Russian)

(speaks Russian)

Bond!

Don't shoot! Don't destroy the plane.

(shouts in Russian)

(gunfire)

Block the runway.

(shouts in Afghan)

(shouts in Russian)

To the tanker.

James!

(attempts to start engine)

Where is she?

We have to stop him!

Kara.

James!

Don't shoot.

You'll hit the plane.

(mouths)

James!

- Kara...

- Oh, my God!

Jump.

- Now that you're here, take over.

- What?

- Hold this, and keep it straight and level.

- Where are you going?

To defuse a bomb.

(bleeping/ticking)

No!

Aaaaargh!

(bleeping/ticking)

- What happened?

- He got the boot.

(screams)

(speaks Afghan)

- Take over. Hold it steady.

- Where are you going?

To drop a bomb.

(bleeping)

What's the matter?

We're losing fuel fast.

I just hope we can make Pakistan.

There's no place to put down.

(beeping)

Go in the back.

Get in the Jeep. Quickly!

Fasten your seat belt!

Hold on.

I know a great restaurant in Karachi.

We can just make dinner.

(Leiter) Whitaker's on the ground floor,

Koskov in an upstairs bedroom.

Guard in the pool area near you.

Guard clear. Proceed.

Hold it.

He's coming back.

Go, James.

Over and out.

Well, he's in.

Pickett's charge was up

Cemetery Ridge, not Little Round Top.

I'm replaying the battle

as I would have fought it.

Meade was too cautious. He missed

his chances to crush Lee at Gettysburg.

I've come for Koskov.

Hell, you can have him.

Soon as I get my opium.

- Now, where is it?

- Up in smoke.

You burned up a half a billion bucks?

Well, that's too bad, Bond.

You could have been a live, rich man

instead of a poor, dead one.

You're finished, Whitaker.

If the Russians don't get you,

the Americans will.

Meade should have taken

another 35,000 casualties.

He could have ended the rebellion

right then and there.

Grant would have done it.

You've had your eight.

Now I'll have my 80.

(laughs)

Sorry to say your popgun

is no match for the latest body armor.

Should have known you'd take refuge

behind that British vulture Wellington.

You know he had to buy German

mercenaries to beat Napoleon, don't you?

(wolf whistle)

I owed you that one, Bond.

He met his Waterloo.

General Pushkin.

Thank God you're still alive.

Whitaker has held me here for weeks.

Thank you for rescuing me. Thank you!

Georgi!

- Put him on the next plane to Moscow.

- Thank you, General.

- Thank you so much. Thank you.

- In the diplomatic bag.

- What about Kara?

- She is a defector, too.

What shall we do about her?

(# Tchaikovsky's Rococo Variations

for Cello and Orchestra)

(chatter)

(woman) Are you

going to stay in France now?

Will you excuse us?

General Gogol, Miss Kara Milovy.

Magnificent. I hope you can find time

to play in Moscow very soon.

It's all right. The general is now

with their foreign service.

He's arranged an immigration visa,

so you can come and go as you like.

Wonderful.

Excuse me.

It's all right.

I'm sorry we missed the concert.

We had some trouble at the airport.

I can't imagine why. General Gogol,

I don't believe you've met Kamran Shah.

- My pleasure.

- Where's James?

- Unhappily, he's on assignment abroad.

- I'll be with you shortly.

- (whistles)

- (bleeping)

(whistles)

You didn't think I'd miss

this performance, did you?

Oh, James.

# If there was a man I could dream of

# I'd dream about a dream come true

# If there was a man I could ever love

# I'd wait a million years

for someone just like you

# All my life I've been belated

# Never taking any chances,

always hesitated

# Where's the payoff?

# Where's the glory?

# Where's the one I'm holding out for?

# When's he walking through the door

# The one that you walked through

# If he isn't you?

# If there was a man I could dream of

# I'd dream about a dream come true

# If there was a man I could ever love

# I'd wait a million years

for someone just like you

# Happy endings never find me

# I'd put all my fantasies

and hopes of love behind me

# So my moment's overdue

# But if there was a man

out there for me

# I wish it could be someone

who could love me true
