Mr. Bond is indeed a very rare breed.
Soon to be made extinct.
(man) Come on and get a picture of that guy with the turban. That's just terrific.
Genus Hapalochlaena. Produces a venom that's invariably fatal in seconds.
- The barge on the lake had that sign. - Yes.
It belongs to a fabulously wealthy woman who lives on the floating palace.
Who is she?
No one knows her real name, but she's known as Octopussy.
That's the name I heard at Kamal's.
I hear that island's full of beautiful women. No men allowed.
Really? Sexual discrimination. I'll definitely have to pay it a visit.
Good evening.
- I wondered when you might arrive. - So you are the mysterious Octopussy.
And you are James Bond. 007, licensed to kill.
- Am I to be your target for tonight? - Not necessarily.
Depends how much you tell me about jewelry smuggling.
And why one of our agents was killed in East Berlin.
I know nothing about that.
You remember Major Dexter Smythe? You were sent out to arrest him.
You seem to have done your homework.
Smythe, after a brilliant military career, was seconded to our secret service.
His mission was to recover a cache of Chinese gold, seized in North Korea.
Both he and his native guide disappeared. The gold was never found.
And 20 years later you were sent after him.
The guide's body turned up with a bullet still in his skull from Smythe's revolver.
I traced Smythe to Sri Lanka, and gave him 24 hours to clear up his affairs.
He committed suicide rather than face the disgrace of a court martial.
What's the connection?
He was my father. I'd hoped fate would bring us together one day.
To avenge him?
To thank you for giving him an honorable alternative.
(knock at door)
(Octopussy) Come in.
Kamal Khan to see you.
Bond has escaped.
- How careless of you. - I apologize.
By the way, I'd like you to meet my new house guest.
An old friend of the family, you might say.
How lovely.
You have a nasty habit of surviving.
You know what they say about the fittest.
Octopussy, I'd enjoy another opportunity to take care of Mr. Bond personally.
I will take care of Mr. Bond myself.
Good night.
And enjoy yourselves.
Mr. Bond.
My father became a leading authority on octopi.
He loved them. His pet name for me was Octopussy.
Mr. Bond, smuggling is no concern of the secret service.
I've violated no British law.
You are free to leave, but I'd much prefer if you stayed as my guest for a few days.
I'd like that.
Gwendoline, show Mr. Bond to his room.
Good night, Mr. Bond.
Till the morning, then.
Midge.
Extend Mr. Bond every courtesy, but double his guard.
Yes, ma'am.
(speaking Hindi)
He says the island is heavily guarded.
We don't want to make enemies with the woman.
(speaks Hindi)
The woman must not be harmed.
When Father's gold ran out, the people in Hong Kong who'd disposed of it for him
offered me a commission to smuggle a consignment of diamonds.
- I discovered I had a talent for it. - You went into business for yourself?
Yes, but I needed an organization, so I revived the old Octopus cult.
Well, then, where did you recruit all these lovelies?
There are many of them all over Southeast Asia.
Looking for a guru, spiritual discipline, who knows what.
I train them. Give them a purpose, a sisterhood and a way of life.
- In crime? - In business.
I have diversified into shipping, hotels, carnivals and circuses.
- Is he still there? - You must be joking.
007 on an island populated exclusively by women?
We won't see him till dawn.
- I'll relieve you at midnight. - No problem.
Are we going somewhere?
I have to go to Europe tomorrow on a business trip.
That's a pity. I was just beginning to enjoy myself.
I think you should stay. I'll only be gone a week.
When I come back we'll discuss the future.
I can't guarantee that I'll be here when you return.
Oh, James. We're two of a kind.
There are vast rewards for a man of your talents willing to take risks.
- I'm not for hire. - Oh, a man of principle.
With a price on his head.
Naturally, you would do it for Queen and country.
I have no country, no price on my head.
I don't have to apologize to you, a paid assassin, for what I am.
No!
You're right.
We are two of a kind.
Oh, James.
(creak)
Q?
Is something wrong?
Not really. Just a feeling.
Why don't you come back to bed?
Move.
James!
Watch it.
Come on.
Careful.
Give me the gun.
What happened to Vijay?
He was alive when I found him.
- Did he say anything? - All he said was, "It was Kamal's men."
No more problems.
You'd better signal M to meet me in Berlin.
Why?
I have to go to a circus in Karl-Marx-Stadt.
We verified the Octopussy Circus was in East Berlin when we lost 009.
Karl-Marx-Stadt is further east.
Why would General Orlov participate in a jewelry caper?
The jewelry, I think is, if you'll forgive the analogy, only the tip of the tentacle.
Here's the ID you'll need.
Charles Moreton, manufacturer's representative from Leeds
visiting furniture factories in East Germany.
- Karl will take you in. - No problem.
Remember, 007, you're on your own.
Thank you, sir. That's a great comfort.
(laughter and music)
Meine Damen und Herren,
ich habe das Vergnügen euch vorzustellen die Zwillinge
Mishka und Grishka,
mit ihrer Messerwurf-Sensation.
Mishka.
Meine Damen und Herren, die menschliche Kanonenkugel,
Francisco der Furchtlose.
(speaks German)
Of course you know Comrade Borchoi, the curator of the Hermitage.
He just arrived from Leningrad.
The Romanov Star.
Stay here with the jewelry while they switch the car to the main track.
You stay, also.
100-kiloton yield. Indistinguishable from the American medium-yield bomb.
The detonator. Now listen carefully. It is pre-set for a four-hour delay.
Set time for the explosion here.
To activate, insert and twist the lever a quarter-turn clockwise.
Be at least 20 miles away when it goes off.
The jewelry should net us 300 million in Zürich.
We still have to cross the border.
I must go. Au revoir, dear lady.
Good luck.
Bring the canister.
Put it in the car.
Leave that. Let's go.
Let's stay. Sit on that box, hands on your knees. Come on! Move!
Why is that bomb on the train?
- Who are you? - British secret service.
You should be more concerned about getting out of here alive.
I am more concerned about an atomic bomb exploding on a US Air Force base.
You surely can't be inviting a nuclear war. What happens when the US retaliates?
Against whom?
Of course. Our early-warning system will rule out the possibility
of that bomb having been launched from Russia or anywhere else.
Everyone will assume that it was an American bomb triggered accidentally.
That would be the most plausible explanation.
Europe will insist on unilateral disarmament,
leaving every border undefended for you to walk across at will.
It doesn't matter a damn to you, I suppose,
that thousands of innocent people will be killed in your "accident".
Better than letting a handful of old men in Moscow
bargain away our advantage in disarmament talks.
On your feet, General. You're going to stop that train.
(distant train whistle)
- It's too late. - You can stop it at the border.
(Orlov) Kill him! Kill him!
(whistle)
(Orlov) Kill him! Kill him!
Get to the station!
Stop that car.
Stop.
Follow that car.
(train whistle)
(whistle shrieks)
Kamal Khan says we are to stay here until we cross the border.
The license plate is General Orlov's.
We have discovered this.
- Where is General Orlov now? - Last reported heading for the border.
I must get to that train.
Halt! Stein bleiben!
A common thief. A disgrace to the uniform.
Yes. But tomorrow...
I shall be a hero of the Soviet Union.
It is now 11:45. The performance begins at 3.
Allowing for delays, set the bomb to detonate at 3:45.
We must leave the base by 3:15. I take it none of you will be late.
Hi-yah!
- The jewelry. - Did you recognize him?
Stay here with her.
On the roof. Trouble.
Mishka!
And this...
For my brother.
And that's for 009.
(car horn)
- Kommen Sie her! - Come on!
(all jeer)
Gobinda will stay with the jewelry.
- Wurst, Bubi? - Danke, Liebchen.
- Schnell, bitte. Schnell. - Ja, ja, ja, wir machen schon. Ist gut.
- Ein Bier? - Danke schön. Sehr freundlich.
(man) Ja, ja, wir fahren schon.
- Essen? - Nicht, danke.
Nehmen Sie ein wenig Wurst! Diese Engländer sind ganz...
Bitte, Fräulein. Es ist sehr wichtig...
(music)
Was machen Sie...? Das ist mein Auto!
Mein Auto!
(speaks German)
(siren)
General, excuse me. I have some travel arrangements to make.
- Enjoy the show. - Thank you.
- I'm sure he'll get a big blast out of this. - I know he won't be disappointed.
(starter motor churns)
(car starts)
(sirens/horns honking)
- That was Bond. - Good. Let him keep going.
He'll be late and we'll be rid of him, too.
Just great, isn't it?
Fantastic! Fantastic! (laughs)
Marvelous.
General, how long would I get in the brig if I stole your wallet?
- About two years. - That long?
- In that case, I'd better return it. - Son of a gun. (laughs)
- Where's the base commander? - Let's see your circus pass.
- Damn it, I said it's urgent. - (sirens)
Get out and put your hands up.
Gestohlenes Auto.
Captain, some nut went through in a stolen car. Wants the base commander.
He's wearing a red shirt.
It's that guy in the red shirt. Go after him, you guys.
(chimp shrieks)
(man) Keep searching, you guys. He's gotta be around here somewhere.
Hey. Is anyone else in there?
...I have the pleasure in presenting to you Francisco the Fearless.
The suspect's wearing a clown suit. Over.
That's him.
Hold it, buddy. You're coming with us.
General, there's a bomb in that cannon.
Where else would a bomb be? Great clown.
- I'm deadly serious. I'm a British agent. - What?
For God's sake, tell him who I am.
Kamal and Orlov double-crossed you. I saw them take the jewelry off the train.
Does that convince you?
Sir, that bomb is set to explode at 3:45. That's 90 seconds from now.
General, this man's either drunk or crazy.
He'll destroy the entire operation.
Grab that man. Grab him! Hold him!
Let go, dammit. Let go!
Let me go, dammit. There's a bomb in there.
Let him go.
Quiet, everyone. Quiet!
- Now? - (laughter)
Thank you very much. You did a great job, sir.
- Where was Kamal going? - Back to India.
(general, over PA) Folks, we've had an emergency, but everything is all right.
You and your families are safe.
Now please leave the tent in an orderly manner. Thank you.
- The plane is refueled. - We'll take off at sunrise.
- Are the gold certificates on board? - Yes, Excellence.
We'll take these also. Dollars, pounds, francs, marks.
I can always print my own.
- What is that? - Girls selling themselves.
Good. It will keep the men occupied. I don't want them to see me leave.
Now.
Give us a hand.
Let's go. All set?
Lift.
Steady.
Make sure the horses are saddled.
I'll join you in a few minutes.
- Do you really think you can escape me? - Orlov betrayed us.
I swear I knew nothing about the bomb.
We're partners, we're friends. Octopussy, I would never do anything to hurt you.
(speaks Hindi)
You left me to be killed along with thousands of innocent people.
Octopussy. Octopussy.
Look.
I was bringing you this. We can make millions.
(alarm)
Take her. She's our ticket out of here.
- I trust you can handle this contraption. - It goes by hot air.
Oh, then you can.
- They seem to be doing all right. - Yes, but I don't see Octopussy.
- There. She's in trouble. - (Octopussy) Get your hands off me!
- I'll take her down. - No, up.
Where are you going? Don't be an idiot, 007. Come back.
Kill him.
What are you doing? Oh, cut it out. We haven't time for that. Later, perhaps.
Come on. Giddap.
Come on. Come on!
He'll kill us all. Go out and get him.
Out there?
Yes, Excellence.
Jump.
My government categorically denies the incident ever occurred.
However, we request Commander Bond to return one of our most historic treasures,
the Romanov Star.
In the interests of our Anglo-Soviet relationships, that can be arranged.
Where is Commander Bond?
Owing to the serious nature of his injuries, he's still not fit enough to travel.
In. Out. In. Out.
- I wish... - What?
I wish you weren't in such a weakened condition.
Oh, James!
James!
# All I wanted was a sweet distraction for an hour or two
# Had no intention to do
# The things we've done
# Funny how it always goes with love
# When you don't look, you find
# But then, we're two of a kind
# We move as one
# We're an all-time high
# We'll change all that's gone before
# Doing so much more
# Than falling in love
# On an all-time high
# We'll take on the world and win
# So hold on tight
# Let the flight
# Begin
# I don't want to waste a waking moment
# I don't want to sleep
# I'm in so strong and so deep
# And so are you
# In my time I've said these words before
# But now I realize
# My heart was telling me lies
# For you they're true
# We're an all-time high
# We'll change all that's gone before
# Doing so much more
# Than falling in love
# On an all-time high
# We'll take on the world and win
# So hold on tight
# Let the flight
# Begin
# So hold on tight
# Let the flight
# Begin
# We're an all-time high
