two years ago.

Can we make it?

- Hello.

- Hello.

- I have a message for you.

- I think you just delivered it.

Thank you.

Sorry to interrupt you,

but I asked M for a list of all the ports

- the Stromberg tanker had called at.

- And what is the answer?

Since she was fitted out, there is no

record of her putting into port anywhere.

That's very odd

if it's true.

We don't make mistakes of that sort.

You sound just like a Russian.

I think we should take a closer look

at that tanker, don't you?

Yes, I do.

- Shall I contact Gogol?

- There's no need.

M has already offered to fix it.

- Very nice.

- It's Austrian. I bought it in Berngarten.

- Berngarten?

- Yes, I was doing some skiing.

- When was this?

- About three weeks ago. Why?

Do you recognise him?

No. Who is he?

The man I loved.

He was in Berngarten three weeks ago.

Did you kill him?

When someone's behind you on skis

trying to put a bullet in your back,

you don't always have time

to remember a face.

In our business, Anya, people get killed.

We both know that. So did he.

It was either him or me.

The answer to the question is yes.

I did kill him.

Then when this mission is over,

I will kill you.

Come in.

- Commander Carter?

- That's right. Welcome aboard. Major.

Have a seat.

- Can I get you something?

- Not for me. I don't know about the major.

Maj...

I'm sorry.

I hadn't expected you to be a woman.

Aboard this vessel, Commander,

I am Major Amasova of the Russian army.

- Yeah, sure.

- It's good of you to help us out.

- Got a couple of cabins at your disposal.

- Thank you.

Major, you're welcome

to use the shower in my quarters.

You do not have to show me

any special favours, Commander.

All the same,

I think it might be better if I did.

From COMSUB Atlantic, sir.

Right.

What's the matter, sailor? You never seen

a major taking a shower before?

Stand by for

second observation on target.

Up scope.

Check.

Target bearing. Mark.

Range. Mark.

Down scope.

- One division in high power.

- Range, 6,200 yards, sir.

- Angle on the bow, port 50.

- Torpedo Room. Boarding party ready.

Captain, sir. Our best solution

for the target is 120, speed three knots.

Officer of the deck, come right north. Tell

Manoeuvring to make turns for 11 knots.

Which bullet has my name on it,

the first or the last?

I have never failed on a mission,

Commander. Any mission.

In that case, Major,

one of us is bound to end up gravely

disappointed, because neither have I...

Control, Manoeuvring.

We're losing electrical frequency.

Control, Sonar.

Total power supplies failure.

Surface. Blow forward. Blow aft.

Up scope. Stand by.

Where the hell is she?

My God. She's right behind us.

Impossible.

Stand by at Number Two Dock.

Stand by at Number Two Dock.

Containment Crews, take up positions.

Dock Officer to Operations.

Mobilisation Crew entering dock area.

Number Two Dock to Operations.

25m to run.

I say again, 25m to run.

Activate Number Two Dock.

Operations Room, Number Two Dock.

Docking now complete.

Disembarkation Crew

moving into position.

S-ra y programme completed. Magnetic

field shut down. All systems normal.

Limpet speaker in position, sir.

Commander, you have precisely

two minutes to open your hatches

and surrender your ship.

The alternative is extermination

by cyanide gas.

Well?

There's no alternative.

Now, hear this. Your captain speaking.

Open all hatches

and proceed quietly onto the casing.

Hurry, Commander!

I'm not renowned for my patience!

OK, two ranks! Move it out!

Stay close to me. We'll try and hide you.

Our time is limited, Captain.

- Commence operations forthwith.

- Yes, sir.

Attention all personnel.

Stromberg Crews One and Two,

embark your submarines.

Put the Americans

in with the others, Captain.

Remove the prisoners.

Don't look up. You're on Candid Camera.

Complete nuclear missile loading.

Operations, Bridge. Altering course

number to 340, coming up to six knots.

Operations, Engine Room.

Revolutions 96 set.

Anya!

Operations, Radar.

No contacts within 25, 00om.

Bring those two prisoners here.

Operations Room, Sonar.

No contacts, no transmissions.

James Bond and Major Amasova.

You have certainly been persistent.

Very well.

Now your curiosity can be satisfied.

Both crews aboard, sir.

Missile onload completed.

They have already

been given their targets.

At 12 noon

they will have reached firing positions.

Within minutes, New York and Moscow

will cease to exist.

Global destruction will follow.

The new era will begin.

Submarines One and Two,

commence departure drill.

All right, Stromberg. You've made

your point. How much do you want?

How much?

Whatever do you mean, Mr Bond?

The price for not firing

those nuclear missiles.

You're deluded, Mr Bond.

I'm not interested in extortion.

I intend to change the face of history.

- By destroying the world?

- By creating a world.

A new and beautiful world

beneath the sea.

Today civilisation as we know it

is corrupt and decadent.

Inevitably, it will destroy itself.

I'm merely accelerating the process.

That does notjustify mass murder.

For that, Major,

I will accept the judgment of posterity.

Submarines ready for departure, sir.

Open bow doors, Captain.

Stromberg One,

you are clear to proceed to sea.

Stromberg Two,

you are also clear to proceed to sea.

Observe, Mr Bond.

The instruments of Armageddon.

Put this man

with the rest of the prisoners.

No, no, no, no. The lady will be

travelling to Atlantis with me.

Farewell, Mr Bond.

That word has, I must admit,

a welcome ring of permanency about it.

Au revoir, Anya.

Bring her.

Get that man at all costs!

Keep going.

Call him over.

Hey!

- Where's your captain?

- Here.

- Release the crews. Go to the armoury.

- Follow me, men.

Come on! Let's go!

Seal the operations room.

You! Stand by over there!

Help yourselves to firearms!

Grab a weapon! Come on, let's go!

We've taken both sides of the lower dock

area, but I'm afraid your captain's dead.

We're still no closer to that control room.

Leave it to me, sir.

Andrews, James, Marshall, Purvis!

Follow me!

That armour plating is inches thick.

We'll never get through it.

- Let's get to the armoury.

- What's there?

- A nuclear missile.

- A nuc...? Hey, wait!

This could take hours, sir.

- You got a date?

- No, sir.

Now you are beautiful.

I'm sorry if you feel less than comfortable.

But you have a tendency to violence

that has to be controlled.

- What is it?

- I, uh... Have to report, sir,

a break-out by some of the prisoners.

That is unfortunate, Captain.

However, we now have

the situation under control.

The operations room

is quite impregnable.

Then we must hope, Captain,

that you will suffer no further mishap.

OK.

All I need is the detonator.

Are you sure

you know what you're doing?

There has to be a first time for everything.

Blast!

What's the problem?

I mustn't touch

the impulse conductor circuit.
