(gunshot)
(cocks gun)
Agh!
(orders shouted in the distance)
Exactly 1 minute 52 seconds. That's excellent.
Check.
Knight takes bishop.
King to rook two.
Queen to king four.
My congratulations, sir. A brilliant coup.
Siamese fighting fish. Fascinating creatures.
Brave, but, on the whole, stupid. Yes, they're stupid.
Except for the occasional one, such as we have here,
who lets the other two fight...
while he waits.
Waits until the survivor is so exhausted that he cannot defend himself.
Then, like SPECTER, he strikes.
I find the parallel amusing.
Our organization did not arrange for you to come over from the Russians
just for amusement, Number Three.
Come in, Kronsteen.
Sit down, Number Three, while we listen to what Number Five has devised for us.
I hope his efforts as director of planning continue to be as successful as his chess.
They will be.
As you instructed, I've planned for SPECTER
to steal from the Russians their new Lektor decoding machine.
For this we need the services of the Russian Cryptograph Section in Turkey
and the help of the British Secret Service.
Neither the Russians nor the British will be aware that they are working for us.
Number Three, is your section ready to carry out the directives?
Yes, the operation will be organized according to Kronsteen's plan.
I have selected a girl from the Russian Consulate in Istanbul.
She's capable, cooperative, and her loyalty to the state is beyond question.
You're sure she believes you're still head of operations for Soviet Intelligence?
It's most unlikely she would know I'm now working for SPECTER.
Moscow has kept my defection secret from everyone but the presidium.
For your sake, I hope so.
Kronsteen, you're sure this plan is foolproof?
Yes, because I have anticipated every possible variation of countermove.
But what makes you think that M will oblige you by falling in with your plan?
For the simple reason that this is so obviously a trap.
My reading of the British mentality is that they always treat a trap as a challenge.
And they couldn't possibly pass up the chance of getting the Lektor decoder.
They have wanted one for years.
All that you say could be true. What else?
SPECTER will probably have the chance of a personal revenge
for the killing of our operative Dr. No,
because the man the British will almost certainly use on a mission of this sort
would be their agent, James Bond.
Let his death be a particularly unpleasant and humiliating one.
Good. I'll put my plan into operation straight away.
And there will be no failure.
(helicopter overhead)
Hurry.
Welcome to SPECTER Island. I hope you had a pleasant flight.
My time is limited. Is the man I requested ready?
- His dossier. - Good.
Donald Grant, convicted murderer.
Escaped Dartmoor Prison in 1960, recruited in Tangier in 1962.
Excellent. Where is he now?
- At the lake. - Bring him to my office, will you?
- Take me to the lake. - Through the training area.
Grant's one of our best men. Homicidal paranoiac, superb material.
His response to our training and indoctrination have been remarkable.
(gunfire)
I hope our work here meets with your approval.
Training is useful, but there is no substitute for experience.
I agree. We use live targets as well.
- Call him. - Grant!
He seems fit enough. Have him report to me in Istanbul in 24 hours.
(speak Russian)
(speak Turkish)
Corporal of State Security Tatiana Romanova.
Come in.
You know who I am?
Colonel Klebb, head of operations for SMERSH.
I saw you once in Moscow, when I worked for the English decoding room.
Did you tell anyone you were coming here?
- No, the message... - Yes, yes, I know. I sent it.
Your work record is excellent.
- The state is proud of you. - Thank you, Comrade Colonel.
Take off your jacket.
Turn around.
You're a fine-looking girl.
Sit down.
I see you trained for the ballet.
But I grew an inch over the regulation height, and so...
And then you have had three lovers.
What is the purpose of such an intimate question?
You're not here to ask questions. You forget to whom you are speaking.
- I was in love. - And if you were not in love?
I suppose that would depend on the man.
Sensible answer. This man, for instance.
I cannot tell. Perhaps if he was kind and kulturny.
Corporal, I have selected you for a most important assignment.
Its purpose is to give false information to the enemy.
If you complete it successfully, you will be promoted.
From now on, you will do anything he says.
- And if I refuse? - Then you will not leave this room alive.
- I will obey your orders. - Good. Now, these are your instructions.
You report to me here, but the consulate security man must not know anything.
- This is classified far above his level. - I will say nothing...
If you do, you will be shot.
Come, come, my dear.
You're very fortunate to have been chosen for such a simple, delightful duty.
A real labor of love, as we say.
(# "From Russia With Love" on radio)
- Great sport, this. - What did you say?
I said it's great sport, this punting.
- I couldn't agree with him more. - I may even give up golf for it.
Really?
Not quite.
Souvenir from another jealous woman?
Yes. But I haven't turned my back on one since.
(beeping)
- Excuse me. - What?
- Give me my shirt. - What's going on?
- I have to make a phone call. - But we haven't eaten yet.
I'm starving.
Come in, Univex. James Bond here. Over.
He's been asking for you all morning. Where in the world are you, James?
Well, I've just been reviewing an old case.
- So I'm an old case now, am I? - It's the office.
- Tell him I'm on my way, will you? - He is not on his way.
Sylvia, behave. We'll do this again some other time soon.
Do what? Last time you said that, you went off to Jamaica.
I haven't seen you for six months.
- I'll be there in an hour. - I'll tell him.
Hey. Your old case sounds interesting, James.
Make that an hour and a half.
Now, about that lunch.
For my next miracle, I...
It'll be a miracle if he can explain where he's been all day.
But I've never even heard of a Tatiana Romanova.
- Ridiculous, isn't it? - It's absolutely crazy.
Of course, girls do fall in love with pictures of film stars.
But not a Russian cipher clerk with a file photo of a British agent.
Unless she's mental.
No, it's some sort of trap.
Obviously it's a trap, and the bait is a cipher machine, a brand-new Lektor.
A Lektor, no less. The CIA's been after one of those for years.
Yes, so have we.
When she contacted Kerim Bey, head of Station T in Turkey,
and told him she wanted to defect, she said she'd turn it over to us.
On one condition.
That you went out to Istanbul and brought her and the machine back to England.
Here's a snapshot Kerim managed to get of her.
I don't know too much about cryptography,
but a Lektor could decode their top secret signals.
The whole thing's so fantastic it just could be true.
That had occurred to me.
Besides, the Russians haven't been up to any tricks recently.
Well, really, I'm not too busy at the moment, sir.
You're booked on the 8.30 plane in the morning.
If there's any chance of us getting a Lektor, we must look into it.
Suppose when she meets me in the flesh I don't come up to expectations?
Just see that you do.
Miss Moneypenny, ask the equipment officer to come in, please.
Q Branch has put together a smart-looking piece of luggage for us.
We're issuing this to all double-0 personnel.
An ordinary black leather case with 20 rounds of ammunition here and here.
Now, if you take the top off, you'll find the ammunition inside.
In the side here, a flat throwing knife.
Press that button there, and out she comes.
Inside the case, you'll find an AR7 folding sniper's rifle.
.25 caliber, with an infrared telescopic sight.
Then, if you pull out these straps, inside are 50 gold sovereigns, 25 in either side.
Now, watch very carefully. An ordinary tin of talcum powder.
Inside, a tear-gas cartridge. That goes in the case against the side here.
It's magnetized, so it won't fall. Shut the case.
Normally, to open a case like that, you move the catches to the side.
If you do, the cartridge will explode in your face.
Now, to stop the cartridge exploding, turn the catches horizontally, like that.
Then, open normally.
Now you try it.
- Turn the catches like that. - That's right.
And open ordinarily.
- You got it? - Yes, I think so.
- Is that all, sir? - Yes, thanks very much.
Nasty little Christmas present. But I shouldn't need it on this assignment.
All the same, take it with you. Good luck, 007.
Thank you, sir.
"Once more unto the breach, dear friends."
And one plane ticket. Lucky man. I've never been to Istanbul.
- You've never been to Istanbul? - No.
Where the moonlight on the Bosphorus is irresistible?
Maybe I should get you to take me there someday. I've tried everything else.
Darling Moneypenny, you know I never even look at another woman.
Really, James?
Let me tell you the secret of the world.
(buzzing)
Miss Moneypenny, ask 007 to leave the photograph.
I'm sure he'll recognize the lady when he sees her.
- Good luck. - Ciao.
Ciao.
Hello, London. Your flight PA1 just landed Istanbul.
Mr. Bond.
- Kerim Bey sent a car for you, sir. - Fine.
- Can I borrow a match? - I use a lighter.
- It's better still. - Until they go wrong.
- Exactly. - I'll get the car, sir.
Kerim Bey suggested that you see him before going to the hotel.
- Would that be convenient? - Fine.
I suppose it's customary to have people tailing you in these parts.
Oh, yes. Today it's Citro�n H31854 on duty.
Bulgarians working for the Russians. They follow us, we follow them.
- It's a sort of understanding we have. - That's very friendly.
Ah, my friend, come in, come in.
Glad to see you. Welcome to Istanbul.
Thank you for sending the car. But it does rather tie you in with me.
You're in the Balkans now. The game with the Russians is played differently.
For routine matters, we don't make it too difficult to keep a tab on each other.
So I gathered from your chauffeur. He's a rather intelligent young man.
He should be. He's my son.
- Coffee? - Medium sweet.
Two medium sweet.
He also is my son.
All my key employees are my sons. Blood is the best security in this business.
- You must have quite an establishment. - Biggest family payroll in Turkey.
Not bad for a man who used to break chains and bend bars in a circus.
- But let's talk about your business. - M thinks I'm wasting my time here.
And so do I. This is an old friend of mine.
- And it tells me something smells. - Maybe.
But if there's a chance of getting a Lektor...
Now you tell me. Where can I contact this girl?
She said she would make her own arrangements. You'll have to wait.
Thank you.
My friend, if you really want my advice,
you should spend a few pleasant days with us here in Istanbul, then go home.
- James Bond, I have a reservation. - Your room is ready.
Number 32.
- 32 for Mr. Bond. - Hope you enjoy your stay.
Thank you.
(porter clears throat)
- Will there be anything else, sir? - Only this. Thank you.
Thank you, sir.
Mr. Bond here. I'm afraid the room won't do.
- The bed's too small. - One moment, sir. Did you hear that?
Tell him that's all there is. Unless he would like the bridal suite.
I'm sorry, sir. That's all we have available, except the bridal suite.
Well, let's have a look at it. I may like it.
The porter will show it to you. He will be up immediately.
Good.
Good work. Who can the Russians suspect but the British?
The Cold War in Istanbul will not remain cold very much longer.
Ali Kerim Bey...
- Ali Kerim Bey. - Mm.
Ali Kerim Bey.
You are not glad to see me this morning?
Overjoyed.
I no longer please you?
Be still.
Back to the salt mines.
Careful with those papers.
- Well, who won? - I had visitors.
Limpet mine on the wall outside. Timed to catch me at my desk.
But, by good fortune, I was relaxing on the settee for a few moments.
- The girl left in hysterics. - Found your technique too violent?
I can't understand this sudden breach of the truce. It's unlike the Russians.
Most inconsiderate. My visit might have something to do with it.
Let's try and find out.
Close up afterwards.
Quite a place.
The Emperor Constantine built it as a reservoir 1600 years ago.
Really?
Here.
My daily exercise: at eleven in the morning and three in the afternoon.
Tie her up, will you?
Mind your head now.
Underneath the Russian Consulate.
A present from your navy.
Our friends were turned out by the Public Works Ministry.
The story was that the heavy traffic was shaking the foundations.
By the time the place was declared safe, I had this installed.
I can see everything M said about you is right.
You know why I stay in this mad business?
It could be that you find selling rugs a bore.
My friend, you should be a mind-reader.
Head of the table is General Vassili, director of Military Intelligence.
On his left: Koslovski, Chief of Security.
Opposite him: Benz, one of his agents.
I can't see the face of the other man, the one the general is shouting at.
- He's giving him a hell of a blowing up. - It's too bad we can't hear as well as see.
Tell me. Does our girl Romanova ever come to this room?
Sometimes, with messages.
I can see the face of the other man now.
Krilencu.
So he's back. Another Bulgarian they use as a killer.
Just the man for the limpet mine job.
I've had trouble with him before.
But he's stayed out of Istanbul for over a year now.
Take a look. You should remember him.
This man kills for pleasure.
Nice face.
Just a moment. A girl's just come in.
Probably Romanova. She's the only one who's allowed to.
How does she look to you?
From this angle, things are shaping up nicely.
I'd like to see her in the flesh. Yes.
- Could you get me a plan of that place? - I wish I could.
But there must be the original drawing somewhere.
I'll get onto that.
Now, I need a little time to deal with this stinking Krilencu.
It will be better if you didn't stay at the hotel tonight. Come.
I see now why you keep the Rolls.
One of my sons is driving it. With two dummies in the back.
In the opposite direction. They'll follow it for hours.
You'll like my Gypsy friends.
I use them like the Russians the Bulgars. It's created a blood feud between them.
(music)
Hello, Krilencu.
(speaks Russian)
(man addresses Kerim Bey)
It seems we've come on the wrong night.
Two girls in love with the same man have threatened to kill each other.
As I'm an old friend of the family, we can stay.
We're bidden to table. I hope you are good at eating with your fingers.
Kerim Bey!
Raki. Filthy stuff.
Quick.
Tell our host his hospitality overwhelms me.
Thank you. Thank you.
No matter what happens now, say and do nothing.
(man makes announcement)
He's asking whether they will cease their blood feud.
The elders of the tribe will then decide who will marry the chief's son.
- She's saying... - I think I got it without the subtitles.
(gunshots)
Thank you!
- Did you get Krilencu? - No.
Just a minute. Here. Thank you.
You fought well. I am nothing but a clumsy old man.
(man screams)
They're making one of the wounded Bulgars talk.
(man addresses Kerim Bey)
It was me they were after. Why would they want me out of the way?
Tomorrow we will have to find Krilencu's hide-out.
- Meantime, I'll take care of this filthy stuff. - (man speaks to Bond)
Vavra thanks you for saving his life. You are now his son.
Thank you.
I'd like to ask him a favor. Could he stop the girl fight?
Your heart is too soft to be a real Gypsy. But he lets you decide the matter.
As if I didn't have enough problems.
Vavra said for you to decide. So decide.
They're both yours.
This might take some time.
- Did you pick up the package? - It's on the seat.
Thank you.
Twice that Krilencu has tried to kill me. The third time he will succeed.
Unless I get him first. And that I'll do tonight.
Not with that arm, you won't. You'd better leave it to me.
- I'm already too much in your debt. - How can a friend be in debt?
Here.
Infrared lens.
Shh.
(footsteps)
My sons.
They will ring his doorbell. He has a private escape hatch.
Try this for size.
- Do you notice anything? - Not yet.
She has a lovely mouth, that Anita.
Yes, I see what you mean.
Arm or no arm, I have to pull that trigger.
If you think you can. You've got one shot, remember.
It'll have to do.
Quick. He's coming.
Quick.
Aah!
That pays many debts.
She should have kept her mouth shut.
Hello?
Breakfast for one at nine please.
Green figs, yogurt, coffee - very black. Thank you.
(sniffs)
(creaking)
You look surprised. I thought you were expecting me.
So you are Tatiana Romanova?
My friends call me Tania.
Mine call me James Bond.
Well, now that we've been properly introduced...
Careful. Guns upset me.
I'm sorry. I'm a bit upset myself.
You look just like your... your photograph.
You're one of the most beautiful girls ever.
Thank you, but I think my mouth is too big.
No, it's the right size.
For me, that is.
Yes.
- Is it here? - What?
The decoding machine. Lektor.
Must we talk about it now?
Or is it at the Russian Consulate?
Yes.
Yes... I would need a plan of the place.
If you could get one, we could meet at the Saint Sophia mosque as tourists.
Why don't you ask me that later?
- Now what are you looking for? - The scar.
You see? I know all about you from your file.
You do? Well, I hope you're not disappointed.
I will tell you...
in the morning.
We are now approaching the most interesting corner of Saint Sophia.
Including these two great red porphyry columns, stolen and brought from Egypt.
In front of them, alabaster urn was brought from Bergama,
a famous historical city near Smyrna.
It dates back from the Alexander the Great period.
About 1648 Sultan Murad IV brought it from Bergama.
It was used as an ablution fountain. It contains a thousand liters of water.
Right after the ablution fountain,
we are going to a highly interesting column over there,
known for centuries as the Saint Sophia wishing column.
Tens of thousands of people have wished here,
putting their right hand and middle finger in the hole.
I promise you - it wasn't one of my men who killed him.
He didn't die of old age. All I know is that it saved me the job.
Once he'd seen the girl, she was compromised, and so...
And he wasn't killed because of that.
Let's just say that Istanbul's a rough town.
Let's see how Tania's map compares with your architect's plans.
This is conference room of the Russian Consulate. That checks.
And this here is the communication room. That's the same.
And she says she works there with the Lektor between two and three.
- How is she gonna get the machine to us? - She'll do anything I say.
Anything. My dear James, you're not using this.
It all sounds too easy. We don't even know if she's telling the truth.
- I intend to find out. - Where? In the hotel?
No. She won't go there again. She says it's too dangerous.
The old game. Give a wolf a taste, then keep him hungry.
My friend, she's got you dangling.
That doesn't matter.
- All I want is that Lektor. - All?
Are you sure that's all you want?
Well...
- Lovely view. - James, we must leave here now.
- If that agent reports my meeting you... - Don't worry. He won't.
But you don't understand the danger.
- James, look up. - Smile.
Another one. Further back.
- About the machine... - That's all you are interested in. Not me.
Business first.
I know, once you have got what you want...
I haven't got it yet.
But, afterwards, we won't always be working on the company's time.
All right. What do you want to know?
Talk into this. Answer my questions quietly, but clearly.
How large is the machine?
Like... like a typewriter.
- Weight? - About ten kilos.
In a brown case. Brown like your eyes.
Keep it technical. Self-calibrating or manual?
Both, with an in-built compensator.
- James, couldn't we... - Not now.
Talk into the camera. How many keys?
- Symbol or code keys? - Both.
There are 24 symbols and 16 code keys.
It is inserted in a slot and the message comes out in a paper roll
