Captain wants you to keep 500ft.

Manoeuvring, Control.

Come in shallow to 500ft.

- Keep 500ft.

- Keep 500ft, sir.

What the hell's going on, Eddie?

Emergency stations. Emergency stations.

Captain to the control room.

- What the hell's going on?

- Control, Manoeuvring.

- Control.

- I'm losing electrical frequency.

- I'll have to break down the system

- Control, Sound Room.

Total loss of power on all sonar sets.

Surface. Blow forward, blow aft. Rise on

both planes. Raise the search periscope.

Oh, my God!

Put him through.

Good morning, sir.

No, First Sea Lord. No, there's been

no contact with Ranger yet, sir.

No. No sightings, no distress signals, sir.

It looks very much like it.

Yes. Yes, of course I will, sir.

We've lost one of our nuclear submarines.

What?

The submarine Potemkin

disappeared without trace?

But what a catastrophe,

Comrade Chairman.

Yes, of course.

I will assign our best agent immediately.

Rube/vitch, where is Agent Triple X?

On leave, General. At the People's

Rest and Recuperation Centre.

It's been a wonderful weekend.

- I shall never forget it.

- Nor will I.

When can we meet again?

As soon as my mission is accomplished.

I must go. I have to be in Austria tonight.

Five more minutes.

Agent Triple X

Calling Agent Triple X You will report

to headquarters immediately.

Agent Triple X, acknowledge and verify.

This is Triple X.

Message received and understood.

Yes, Mr Prime Minister.

I understand the gravity of the situation.

Yes, I'll put our best man on it at once.

Goodbye.

Moneypenny, where's 007?

He's on a mission, sir. In Austria.

Tell him to pull out. Immediately.

Oh, James.

I cannot find the words.

Let me try and enlarge your vocabulary.

- What happened? Where are you going?

- Sorry. Something came up.

But, James, I need you.

So does England.

He has just left.

He has just left- Over and out.

Message received.

We are waiting. Over and out.

Now.

Nobody does it better

Makes me feel sad for the rest

Nobody does it

Half as good as you

Baby, you're the best

I wasn't Iookin'

But somehow you found me

I tried to hide from your love light

But like heaven above me

The spy who loved me

ls keepin' all my secrets safe tonight

And nobody does it better

Though sometimes

I wish someone could

Nobody does it

Quite the way you do

Why'd you have to be so good?

The way that you hold me

Whenever you hold me

There's some kind of magic inside you

That keeps me from runnin'

But just keep it comin'

How'd you learn

to do the things you do?

And nobody does it better

Makes me feel sad for the rest

Nobody does it

Half as good as you

Baby, baby

Baby, you're the best

Send in Agent Triple X.

You sent for me, Comrade General.

Good morning. Major Amasova,

we are facing a most delicate situation.

Our nuclear submarine

Potemkin has disappeared.

- Sabotage?

- That is for you to find out.

We have one lead. A connection in Cairo.

You leave tonight.

Will that be all, Comrade General?

There is one more thing.

I regret to inform you, Major,

that Agent Sergei Barsov has been killed.

On a mission,

at Berngarten in the Austrian Alps.

- A tragic occurrence, Comrade General.

- It had not escaped our notice

that you had been more than friends

for some time. I'm very sorry.

- How did he die?

- We haven't all the details yet,

but it appears he'd become involved

in a British Secret Service operation.

Please keep me informed,

Comrade General.

I should very much like to meet

whoever was responsible for his death.

Sea King 05, finals to land. Over.

Sea King 05, this is Faslane.

Sea King 05. Roger. Out.

Good morning, sir.

- Morning, 007.

- Hello, Q.

- Mission successful?

- On and off.

Morning, Commander.

- Captain Forsyth.

- Commander.

Commander Bond, sir.

Mr Frederick Gray, Minister of Defence.

Morning, Commander.

Admiral Hargreaves,

Flag Officer Submarines.

- Ark Royal, wasn't it?

- Yes, sir.

- I believe M told you about this.

- Yes, Minister.

Over here, please, gentlemen.

This is Ranger's prearranged course

to her patrol area?

That's right.

- Who knew this course?

- Admiral Hargreaves, myself,

and Talbot, the captain of the submarine.

Good God!

- Where did this come from?

- For the moment that's top secret.

I see, sir.

This means the Russians can track our

submarines underwater and sink them.

- I believe it does.

- How could they? It's impossible.

No. It's quite simple, really.

Heat-signature recognition most likely.

- With your permission, Minister?

- Yes, of course.

We already know that satellites

with infrared heat sensors

can detect a nuclear missile in flight

by its tail fire.

- Well?

- Someone can now locate

a submerged nuclear submarine

in exactly the same way, by its wake.

But that means they can totally

undermine our Western defence strategy.

It looks like it, yes.

- Where did we get the tracing, Freddie?

- Cairo. Diplomatic bag.

Somebody got hold of the plans of that

tracking system and is trying to sell them.

They sent us that tracing

as proof that it's genuine.

If there is a deal to be made,

the price is going to be high.

High? Astronomical.

That missing submarine

had 16 Polaris missiles aboard.

- I take it we have a contact in Egypt?

- M will give you the details.

You leave tonight.

- Dr Bechmann and Professor Markovitz.

- Thank you.

Well, gentlemen, now that the moment

has come to bid you farewell,

I congratulate both you,

Doctor, and you, Professor,

on your brilliant work

in the development

of the submarine tracking system.

Thanks primarily to you, I'm happy to say

that the first phase of our operation

has met with considerable success.

I have instructed my assistant to have

paid into your Swiss bank account

the sum of ten million dollars each.

- Thank you, sir.

- Thank you indeed.

And that, I think, concludes our business.

Before you go, however,

I very much regret to inform you

that a dangerous development has

recently been brought to my notice.

Someone has been attempting to sell

the plans of our tracking project

to competing world powers.

Someone intimately associated

with the project.

My dear, it would perhaps be

more seemly if you were to leave us.

Thank you.

It was you who betrayed me.

You had access to all the information.

And now you will pay the penalty.

Once again, gentlemen,

my most profound thanks.

- Sandor.

- Yes, sir.

Jaws.

I'm assigning you the task

of recovering the microfilm copy

of the tracking system.

Sandor, you will go with him. Obey him.

Every person who even comes

into contact with that microfilm

is to be eliminated.

Stand by for helicopter takeoff.

A/I personnel clear

of the flight-deck platform.

Cancel transfer of 20 million dollars.

Inform next of kin that a tragic accident

has resulted in the deaths of

Professor Markovitz and Dr Bechmann.

The funeral was at sea.

- Fade! Kadeer.

- Garabna-

Sh ukran

- Shukran.

- Afwan.

- Assalaam alaykum.
