Thank you.
Excellent. We have been granted an audience.
- Mr. Sterling? - Yes?
I'm Naomi. Mr. Stromberg sent me to collect you.
How do you do? This is my wife, who also happens to be my assistant.
- You are on holiday? - Where there's an ocean,
a marine biologist is never on holiday. Can we offer you a drink before we go?
No, thank you. Mr. Stromberg's a very busy man. His time is precious.
What a handsome craft. Such lovely lines.
Thank you.
(Bond) Very impressive.
I wonder if you'd mind showing my wife around while I'm with Mr. Stromberg.
- Of course. This way. - Thank you.
Now, don't be a bother to Naomi, darling. I'll be back soon.
Oh, by the way, Mr. Stromberg prefers not to shake hands.
- It's the third button. - Thank you.
Why do we seek to conquer space, when seven tenths of our universe
remains to be explored?
The world beneath the sea.
You seem to be well equipped to repair that oversight, Mr. Stromberg.
My name is Sterling. Robert Sterling. It's very kind of you to receive me.
Not at all. It's always a pleasure to welcome someone with a mutual interest.
An extraordinary number of rare species.
You recognize that variety, of course.
Of course.
Pterois volitans. Other fish avoid it.
Those dorsal spines are laden with venom.
Handsome but deadly.
I see you know your subject, Mr. Sterling.
One tries. You have a remarkable establishment here.
I'm somewhat of a recluse.
I wish to conduct my life on my own terms,
and in surroundings with which I can identify.
That is a privilege of wealth.
Don't you miss the outside world?
For me, this is all the world.
There is beauty,
there is ugliness,
and there is death.
I think you will find this interesting, Mr. Sterling.
- An underwater city. - Fascinating, isn't it?
- The only hope for the future of mankind. - We all have our dreams.
No dream, Mr. Sterling. Soon a reality.
(chimes)
I'm afraid you must excuse me. I have business to attend to.
Goodbye, and if we don't meet again, I wish you luck with your research.
Thank you.
The glimpse you've afforded me today will only encourage me to redouble my efforts.
Goodbye, Mr. Stromberg.
- How interesting. - Oh, there you are.
Darling, you should look at this model. It's beautiful.
This is the Liparus, the latest addition to our fleet, launched nine months ago.
At over a million tons, it's the largest tanker in the world.
After the Karl Marx, of course.
Really, darling? It's amazing the items of information you store away.
Were they the two on the train?
James Bond.
And the woman is Major Amasova, a Russian agent.
Let them get ashore...
and then kill them.
You're being very secretive. Where are we going?
I want another look at that Stromberg laboratory.
You think he could operate the tracking system from there?
It's possible. All we know for sure is that two nuclear submarines are missing.
What did you think of the model?
There was something strange about the design of her bows.
I asked M to check her out.
- James, that motorcycle... - Has been following us for the last mile.
(horn)
All those feathers and he still can't fly.
- James... - Yes, I know. Don't tell me.
(gunfire)
Mammamia, che è successo? Oddio, è tutto distrutto.
Ever get the feeling somebody doesn't like you?
(gunfire)
Can you swim?
It's time we said goodbye to an uninvited guest.
Alone at last.
That's what we've come to look at.
James.
Brace yourself.
Look.
How did you know about that?
I stole the blueprints of this car two years ago.
Do you think we can make it?
(knock at door)
- 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.
What is the answer?
Since she was built, there is no record of her having put 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 recognize 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 at 40mph 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.
- (knock) - 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.
Major, you're welcome to use the shower in my quarters.
You do not have to show me any special favors, Commander.
All the same, I think it might be better if I did.
From COMSUB Atlantic, sir.
Great.
What's the matter, sailor? You never seen a major taking a shower before?
(Carter) 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 Maneuvering 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 will end up gravely disappointed,
because neither have I...
Control, Maneuvering. 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.
(deep rumble)
(alarms)
(man on PA) Stand by on Number Two Dock. Stand by on Number Two Dock.
Containment Crews, take up positions.
Dock Officer to Operations. Mobilization Crew entering dock area.
Number Two Dock to Operations. 25 meters to run.
I say again, 2-5 meters to run.
Operations room, Number Two Dock. Docking now complete.
Disembarkation Crew moving into position.
(clanging and scraping)
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.
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.
(siren)
Put the Americans in with the others, Captain.
Remove the prisoners.
Don't look up. You're on Candid Camera.
Complete nuclear missile loading.
Anya...
Bring those two prisoners here.
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.
A new era will begin.
(man) 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 civilization as we know it is corrupt and decadent.
Inevitably, it will destroy itself.
I'm merely accelerating the process.
That does not justify 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. Follow astern.
Observe, Mr. Bond. The instruments of Armageddon.
Put this man with the rest of the prisoners.
Oh, no, no, no, no. The lady will be traveling 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.
(man) Get that man at all costs!
Keep going.
(alarm)
- Call him over. - Hey.
- Where's your captain? - Here.
- Release the others. Go to the armory. - Right. Follow me, men. On the double.
Let's go.
Seal the operations room.
You. Stand by over there.
Help yourselves to firearms.
Grab a weapon. Come on, let's go.
Thanks.
We've taken both sides of the lower dock area, but 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 armor must be inches thick. We'll never get through it.
- Let's get to the armory. - 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. - 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 out of here is the detonator.
James, 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 any part of the impulse conductor circuit.
This ring houses the impulse conductor circuit.
It's magnetic. I mustn't touch it with any part of the detonator.
- What happens if you do? - It'll go off.
(electrical hum)
(crackle)
- Give me a number six detonator. - Aye aye, sir.
Number six, sir.
Thank you. Did you fix that 20-second fuse?
Yes, sir. Here it is.
- (Bond) Plastic explosive. - Plastic explosive.
Is everything proceeding according to plan?
- Yes, sir. - Excellent.
- Sir? - What is it?
The monitor's faded.
Change the circuit.
Cease fire.
You're too late, Bond. Our submarines are already on station.
In four minutes the missiles will be launched.
The transmission unit - can you work it?
Sure. But we've only got three minutes!
If we can work out the position of those submarines, we can reprogram them.
- To do what? - To destroy each other.
James, the globe.
Take the position of the first submarine and pass it to the second as her target.
- And vice versa. - Exactly.
Missile Control, this is the Captain. We have a change of target.
New coordinates are 034285219.
Missile Control. Captain. We have a new target.
Everybody, back on board the submarine. Pass it on. Come on, let's go.
Come on.
- Foster, get those lines cleared. Come on. - Throw those guys a line.
- Get those fenders cleared. - Get the submarine at diving stations.
Control, Maneuvering. Reactor at half power. Ready to check telegraphs.
All personnel, take up positions fast.
- Get Roberts to the gyro unit. - Come on, come on. Move it, move it!
- Stand by to revert to normal lighting. - Come on, sailor, get that hatch shut.
Torpedo Room, Control. Load tube one with Mark 46 torpedo.
Open outer door on tube one.
- Select zero gyro angle. - Select zero gyro angle.
- Outer door on tube one open. - Match bearings and shoot.
- Set. - Shoot.
Torpedo running.
Rudder amidships. Ahead two thirds.
Rudder amidships, ahead two thirds, aye.
Left seven degrees rudder.
How far would you say?
Hm. About 10,000 yards, sir.
Commander?
Close it.
I just got this signal from the Pentagon.
"On instructions from the Security Council, destroy Atlantis fast."
- What does fast mean? - Battle stations five minutes.
- With torpedoes? - Yes.
- He has Anya on there. - I know, James. I'm sorry.
- I have to get her off. - How?
The equipment Q sent for me. Can I have it?
Sure.
Martin? That package for Commander Bond. Bring it in quick.
- I need an hour. - That comes from the top.
40 minutes.
You're gonna get me court-martialed.
OK. One hour.
- (knock at door) - Come in.
Here. I'll give you a hand.
(Stromberg) Good evening, Mr. Bond. I've been expecting you.
Stay where you are. I'll send the elevator down for you.
Goodbye, Mr. Bond.
You did want me to drop in.
- Where's Anya? - Well, well, well.
A British agent in love with a Russian agent.
Détente indeed.
Sit down, Mr. Bond.
Your time's running out, Stromberg.
Yours too, Mr. Bond. Yours too.
And faster than you think.
You've shot your bolt, Stromberg. Now it's my turn.
(gunshot ricochets)
(gun clicks)
How does that grab you?
We're five minutes overdue, Captain.
James! Stromberg?
Dead. So are we unless we get out of here fast.
Match bearings and shoot.
Ah. Maybe I misjudged Stromberg.
Any man who drinks Dom Pérignon '52 can't be all bad.
The mission is over, Commander.
(bang)
In my country, Major, the condemned man is usually allowed a final request.
Granted.
Let's get out of these wet things.
But, James, what would our superiors say?
They're never going to know.
(man) Lower stern gate.
- You think there's a danger of the bends? - We'll soon find out.
James.
- 007. - Triple X.
Bond, what do you think you're doing?
Keeping the British end up, sir.
(big-band music)
(male chorus) # Nobody does it better
# Makes me feel sad for the rest
# Nobody does it half as good as you
# Baby, you're the best
(Carly Simon version)
# I wasn't looking
# But somehow you found me
# I tried to hide from your love light
# But like heaven above me
# The spy who loved me
# Is keeping all my secrets safe tonight
# And nobody does it better
# Makes me feel sad for the rest
# Nobody does it
# Half as good as you
# Baby, baby
# Darling, you're the best
# Baby, you're the best
# Baby, you're the best...
