I thought you'd never get back.
WeII, there was a heck of a crowd on the piste.
So I see.
-Mission accompIished? -Best beIuga...
...vodka, rather shaken...
-...and one microchip. -Good.
I'II make a signaI to M.
Be a good girI, wouId you, and put her on automatic?
And we couId do with a coupIe of gIasses.
They're in the overhead rack.
Oh, Commander Bond!
CaII me James. It's five days to AIaska.
WaIk. March!
Thank goodness you're here, James.
That's very nice, Moneypenny. Isn't it over the top for the office?
I've tried to reach you aII morning. What have you been up to?
WeII, rest and recreation, my darIing.
The trip from Siberia took a Iot out of me.
Your dedication when you're on the job is most commendabIe, James.
Omit the customary pleasantries, Miss Moneypenny.
-We're pressed for time. -I'II fiII you in Iater, Moneypenny.
-Minister. Good morning, sir. -Commander.
A new pet, Q?
If, 00 7, you'd ever bother to read any memos from my department...
...you'd know this is a prototype of a sophisticated surveiIIance machine.
You can get on with the briefing now, Q.
Very good, sir.
GentIemen...
...a siIicon integrated circuit.
The essentiaI part of aII modern computers.
No Iecture, Q. We're aII aware of the usefuIness of the microchip.
WeII, now, untiI recentIy...
...aII microchips were susceptibIe to damage...
...from the intense magnetic puIse of a nucIear expIosion.
-Magnetic puIse? -Yes, minister.
One burst in outer space over the UK, and everything with a microchip...
...from the modern toaster to the most sophisticated computers...
...and our defense systems wouId be rendered absoIuteIy useIess.
We'd be paraIyzed, at the Russian's mercy.
That's why one of our private contractors came up with this:
A chip totaIIy impervious to magnetic puIse damage.
Now, if I pIace it on the microcomparator...
...and compare it with the chip 00 7 recovered...
...from the body of 003 in Siberia...
...when I bring the two images together--
They're identicaI.
The KGB must have a pipeIine into that research company.
It wouId appear so.
Six months ago, that company was acquired by an AngIo-French combine:
Zorin Industries.
I presume, sir, there has been a security check of the pIant?
And a very extensive one, but we have no Ieads.
What about Zorin himseIf?
Max Zorin? ImpossibIe. He's a Ieading French industriaIist.
A staunch anticommunist with infIuentiaI friends in the government.
Yes, but with due respect, minister...
...the Ieak did occur after Zorin bought the company.
PreciseIy why I've aIready initiated an investigation.
AII right, but for heaven's sake, Iet's be discreet.
But of course, minister.
You have exactIy 35 minutes to get properIy dressed, 00 7.
Come on, FIuke, move your a--
Who's number one, the gray with him?
That's Pegasus, Zorin's horse.
-With the cane, is that Max Zorin? -Yes. Born in Dresden...
...fIed from East Germany in the '60s.
French passport, speaks at Ieast five Ianguages with no accent...
...now the taIk of the city and the boss.
-Come on, FIuke! -The oId rags-to-riches story.
Made his first fortune in oiI and gas trading...
...now a second in eIectronics and high-tech.
Who's that with him, under the hat...
...with the red dress? A girIfriend?
We're not sure about her.
American. She's never far from him.
Name's May Day.
And dressed for the occasion.
Come on, FIuke, get a wiggIe on!
First, number one, second, number two, and third, number five.
First, number one, Pegasus...
...second, number two, Fluke, and third, number five, Cougar Girl.
UnbeIievabIe. In aII my years as a trainer...
...I've never seen a horse run such a fast Iast furIough.
Sir Godfrey Tibbett, our department.
-Many congratuIations. -Thank you.
Lucky man, Zorin.
-CouId be more than Iuck, admiraI. -Fixed?
Your guess is as good as mine.
The French Jockey CIub have hired a detective, Aubergine, to Iook into it.
Easy, Pegasus!
CaIm down. CaIm down!
Easy. Steady, steady.
-She must take a Iot of vitamins. -Steady, baby.
-Perhaps Pegasus does too. -Easy, baby.
I think I shouId meet with this detective friend of yours, Sir Godfrey.
Yes. Might have some interesting information for us.
-Set it up, Tibbett. -Right you are, admiraI.
Moneypenny, be a darIing and coIIect that for me?
-I'II buy you dinner when we get back. -Pegasus!
BoIIinger, '75.
I see you are a connoisseur, Monsieur Bond.
Another exceIIent choice.
I am pIeased you approve, since you're paying the biII.
Cheers.
The Sūreté has no information about Zorin...
...before he came over from East Germany?
Through a personaI connection, I saw his dossier myseIf...
...but even Sūreté records are sometimes incompIete, eh?
The fabuIous Dominique...
...and the enchanted papillons.
Perhaps we shouId add this butterfIy to our coIIection, no?
TeII me, why do Zorin's horses...
...beat others with far superior bIoodIines?
-This is a mystery. -CouId he be using drugs?
Nothing showed up on the tests.
Later this month...
...Zorin wiII hoId his annuaI saIes at his stud near Paris.
Security is formidabIe, but the key to this mystery is there.
And I...
...AchiIIes Aubergine, intend to find it.
There's a fIy in his soup.
Taxi!
-FoIIow that parachute! -Is in EngIish.
Out.
My car!
CongratuIations.
So?
May I remind you that this operation was to be conducted discreetIy?
AII it took was 6 miIIion francs in damages...
...and penaIties for vioIating most of the NapoIeonic Code.
Under the circumstances, I feIt it important to identify the assassin.
What did you Iearn from Aubergine before his untimeIy demise?
WeII, onIy that Zorin is having a thoroughbred saIe at his stud nearby.
I think I shouId be there. Can you heIp me with that, Sir Godfrey?
It may be possibIe to arrange an invitation. It's a bit short notice...
...but I might be abIe to squeeze you in.
Thank you, sir.
Sir Godfrey, your hat.
Mr. St. John Smythe?
St. John Smythe, my dear.
Monsieur Smythe, my name is Scarpine, head of security.
-How do you do? -We have your room at the chateau.
Oh, spIendid.
By the way, the preview is aIready in progress at the main stabIes.
-Is that it? -No, those are the servants' quarters.
The stabIe's over here.
Let me escort you there.
-CataIogue of the saIes. -Thank you.
TeII me, the Ithacus coIt, is it here?
-The fuII brother of Pegasus? -Yes.
He's the outstanding horse of the saIes.
He'II be shown Iast. We expect him to fetch over $3 miIIion.
Sounds quite reasonabIe.
If you're in need of any further assistance, pIease caII me.
Thank you.
Steady! Steady, Pegasus, steady.
Keep him on a tight rein!
Steady now, Pegasus, steady.
Lot number 30. We are now very proud...
...to present the full brother to Pegasus.
This yearling foal is born....
Monsieur Smythe.
Monsieur Zorin has been unavoidabIy detained.
He's anxious to meet you, hopes to do so at the garden reception Iater.
I Iook forward to it. Tibbett, I wish you wouIdn't wander off.
-There's a good chap. -I'm sorry, sir.
Your driver may stay in the servants' quarters.
I'm sure that'II be more than adequate.
What do you say, Tibbett?
-WeIcome, sir. I'm Jenny FIex. -Of course you are.
-I'II caII a porter. -That won't be necessary.
My man'II take care of it.
-Let me show you to your room. -Thank you.
When you're ready, Tibbett.
WeII, my dear, I take it you spend quite a Iot of time in the saddIe.
-Yes, I Iove an earIy-morning ride. -I'm an earIy riser myseIf.
Come aIong, Tibbett. Stop wheezing.
Don't stand there panting, Tibbett. Start unpacking.
-Let me heIp you. -Thank you, sir.
-The reception is at 6. -Thank you, my dear.
WeII, you heard what Miss FIex said. There's a reception at 6.
-Yes, sir. -So I need a white jacket and bIack tie.
Yes, sir.
-And, if possibIe, a cIean shirt. -Yes, sir.
Oh, my Lord, Tibbett. Look at the state of my cIothes.
-How on earth do you pack my bags? -Sorry, sir.
Mr. FowIer toId his trainer he'II go to a miIIion for the Ithacus coIt.
Good. Anything from St. John Smythe?
Nothing about the saIes, sir, but I'd hate to be his vaIet.
You're going to have to buck up your ideas.
I'm sorry, sir.
Don't be so damned obsequious.
Oh, my Lord. What the devil's wrong with these shoes?
Looks like they were wiped with an oily rag.
-Terribly sorry, sir. -You blasted well should be.
I don't know how long you expect to remain in my employ....
WeII done, my good man.
Do we have to keep this up when we're aIone?
WeII, a successfuI cover becomes aImost second nature.
What's aII this business about Pegasus disappearing?
One minute he's in his staII, the next, neither hide nor hair of him.
-We shouId Iook into it. -Don't concern yourseIf with that.
There's the man I saw at the Pegasus stabIe.
-Another weaIthy owner? -Who knows?
But she'd certainIy bear cIoser inspection.
-We're on a mission. -Sir Godfrey...
...on a mission, I am expected to sacrifice myseIf.
LoveIy party.
Enjoying our IittIe party, Monsieur St. John Smythe?
Oh, immenseIy. St. John Smythe.
Looks Iike you'II have a good turnout for the saIe.
Excuse me.
May I introduce Miss Sutton?
-Sheik Farouq. -How do you do?
It's a great pIeasure.
-WeIcome. -Mr. Zorin.
Main Strike aII set?
We'II know after the 22nd.
-Thank you. -Enjoy yourseIf.
You were Iooking for something?
Yes, I was Iooking for the bar.
Come, I wiII show you.
By the way, the name is St. John Smythe.
James St. John Smythe.
Dr. CarI Mortner, at your service.
-Hiya, doc! -Good afternoon, Mr. ConIey.
Mr. ConIey, Mr. Smythe.
-Bob ConIey. -Are you a trainer?
Horses? HeII, I can't even ride. I'm in the oiI business.
Texas?
Frisco. I handIe Mr. Zorin's oiI interests there.
WouId you excuse us?
Come on. I'II show you something reaIIy interesting.
-TeII me, are you a doctor of medicine? -No, no, no.
I am Mr. Zorin's breeding consuItant.
Oh, reaIIy? Then you can Iet me in to a IittIe secret.
How is it you succeed with breeding bIoodIines...
...that other experts consider inferior?
SeIective breeding is important, ja...
...but more important is conditioning and a desire, ja?
Are you taIking about peopIe or horses?
My principIes appIy equaIIy to human beings.
Mr. St. John Smythe, aIIow me to introduce myseIf.
Mr. Zorin, it's a great pIeasure.
CarI, a groom asked if you'd go to the stabIes.
Of course. You wiII excuse me?
I must congratuIate you, Mr. Zorin. Your stabIes are magnificent.
BuiIt in the 1 6th century by a duke...
...who beIieved he'd be reincarnated as a horse.
Been interested in thoroughbreds Iong?
Oh, no. As a matter of fact...
...I had a rather dotty oId aunt die and Ieave me some stabIes.
I thought it might be fun to breed horses.
I take it you ride.
I'm happiest in the saddIe.
A feIIow sportsman.
What about fishing?
FIy-casting.
I'm negIecting my other guests.
Enjoy yourseIf. You'II find the young Iadies stimuIating company.
I'm sure they are.
HeIIo. I thought you might Iike to join the party.
By the way, the name is James St. John Smythe.
I'm EngIish.
-I never wouId have guessed. -ReaIIy?
WeII, are you buying or seIIing?
-SeIIing? -Horses.
No, I'm not interested in horses.
WeII, you came to the wrong pIace, didn't you?
May Day.
Get her away from him.
I'm sure I've seen him somewhere before.
Have security keep a good eye on him.
You didn't say what part of the States you come from, Miss...?
No, I didn't.
I suppose you traveI a Iot.
Your heIicopter Ieaves in 20 minutes.
Does that mean you're not staying the night?
I was hoping we'd spend the evening together.
Now I shaII be aII aIone.
I doubt that.
-Let me waIk you to the chopper. -That won't be necessary.
Someone wiII take care of you.
Oh, you'II see to that personaIIy, wiII you?
Are you Iooking for this?
Quite a Ietdown.
-St. John Smythe? -SIeeping Iike a baby.
That's it.
There. There we are.
HoId on.
It's interesting. He's had surgery.
Surgery.
That is how Zorin won the race.
Dr. Mortner impIanted one of these microchips into Pegasus.
You see, these microchips...
...are programmed to controI an injection...
...of additionaI naturaI horse steroids...
...which overcome fatigue during the race.
How?
The injection itseIf, with that smaII needIe, is triggered...
...by a remote-controI transmitter...
...smaII enough to fit into the tip of a jockey's whip...
...or a cane.
The Iights!
There's a worId surpIus of microchips, and Zorin is hoarding them.
-I'm afraid I wasn't much heIp. -Don't worry, it's aII wrapped up.
Keep your guard up higher and retain your baIance.
Got you now.
-What now? -We better get back.
The tape ran out five minutes ago. Good night.
I toId you not to disturb us.
But it's very important.
There's been intruders in the warehouse.
Put security on fuII aIert.
Let's see where Mr. St. John Smythe is.
He was the man at the EiffeI Tower.
-We must find him. -I'II get dressed.
May Day, where have you been?
I've been waiting for you...
...to ''take care of me personaIIy.''
I see you're a woman of very few words.
What's there to say?
Is everything here?
Except this.
It is in the wrong pIace.
Bring St. John Smythe to my study first thing in the morning.
-Good morning. -Good morning.
I understand you wish to see me.
-You sIept weII? -A IittIe restIess...
...but I got off eventuaIIy.
I have the progeny index on the computer.
That's a compiIation of thoroughbred bIoodIines.
It might be heIpfuI in seIecting a purchase this afternoon.
As I see it, you need a staIIion for breeding.
A staIIion sounds right to me.
I find a computer indispensabIe.
I have a staIIion...
...descended from that horse there.
Misty.
According to the computer, we have severaI horses that may interest you.
SpIendid.
WouId you be interested primariIy in stamina or speed?
WeII, a IittIe of both wouId be ideaI.
I think I have just the horse for you.
It's time for my morning ride.
Why don't you try him out?
Sounds a very good idea.
-I shaII get into some riding cIothes. -Good.
HaIf an hour then? Scarpine wiII coIIect you.
Thank you.
Tibbett, get into town. CaII M and ask him to put a trace on this check.
Be quick. If those guards identify us, we'II have to move fast.
What shaII I say if they ask where I'm going?
You have to get the car washed.
Just going to town to get the car washed.
Your mount, Mr. St. John Smythe.
A beautifuI beast.
A IittIe spirited. What's his name?
Inferno.
-Friends of yours? -Exercise boys.
Jumping together is more reaIistic training.
WeII, quite frankIy, I prefer cross-country to steepIechase.
As one sportsman to another, I'II make you a proposition.
You can have that Ithacus coIt gratis if you stay this course.
And if I'm thrown?
Then you Iose.
You Ieave me IittIe choice.
SpIendid. Scarpine wiII start us.
Steady!
Stand cIear!
Keep going!
Sir Godfrey, Iet's--
You Iost, 00 7.
KiIIing Tibbett was a mistake.
I'm about to make the same mistake twice.
My department know I'm here. When I don't report, they'II retaIiate.
If you're the best they have...
...they'II more IikeIy try to cover up your embarrassing incompetence.
Don't count on it, Zorin.
You amuse me, Mr. Bond.
Oh, it's not mutuaI.
Other side.
Open up.
Good morning, Comrade Zorin.
GeneraI GogoI.
This meeting is iII-advised.
A risk, but necessary, since you refuse to answer your controI.
Come to the point, generaI.
You disregard procedure.
You did not request approvaI before eIiminating 00 7.
ReprisaIs might jeopardize ongoing operations.
You jeopardize mine!
Letting the British penetrate the Siberian research center.
That was regrettabIe.
Your racing activities attract unnecessary attention...
...but more disturbing are your unauthorized commerciaI ventures...
...and we cannot toIerate that.
The issue is irreIevant. I've made new associations.
I no Ionger consider myseIf a KGB agent.
We trained you, financed you.
What wouId you be without us?
A bioIogicaI experiment?
A physioIogicaI freak?
Enough of this! ControI yourseIves!
You wiII come back to us, comrade.
No one ever Ieaves the KGB.
GentIemen, for centuries...
...aIchemists tried to make goId from base metaIs.
Today, we make microchips from siIicon...
...which is common sand, but far better than goId.
For severaI years we've had a profitabIe partnership...
...you as manufacturers, whiIe I acquired and passed on to you...
...industriaI information that made you competitive...
...successfuI.
We are now in the unique position...
...to form an internationaI carteI...
...to controI not onIy production...
...but distribution of these microchips.
There is one obstacIe.
SiIicon VaIIey...
...near San Francisco.
Over 250 pIants...
...empIoying thousands of scientists, technicians.
This is the heartIand of eIectronic production in the United States...
...which accounts for what, 80 percent of the worId microchip market.
I propose to end...
...the domination of SiIicon VaIIey...
...and Ieave us in controI of that market.
What is it you propose?
Project Main Strike...
...for which each of you wiII pay me $ 1 00 miIIion.
A hundred miIIion doIIars?
PIus haIf our net income?
Under an excIusive marketing agreement with me.
These are outrageous terms!
WeII, perhaps a demonstration wouId convince you.
-I want no part of it, thank you. -As you wish.
The rest of our discussion must, of course, be confidentiaI.
-WouId you wait outside? -If you'd Iike me to, yes.
Excuse me. Thank you.
May Day...
...wiII provide you with a drink.
This way.
So does anybody eIse want to drop out?
What a view.
To a kiII.
A Iemon? Okay. Five doIIars.
Thank you.
Can I heIp the next person? Can I heIp you, sir?
Looking for something speciaI?
-Yes. Soft-sheII crabs. -I might have some in the back.
I'II be a few minutes.
Chuck Lee, CIA. It's a pIeasure working with 00 7.
Thanks. Now what about Zorin?
He's in town. I can have him taiIed if you want.
Not yet.
ConIey is a geoIogist.
Runs Zorin's oiI recIamation project in the East Bay.
Last job, chief engineer on a South African goId mine.
Left in a hurry after a cave-in kiIIed 20 miners.
Sounds Iike Zorin's kind of man. What about the girI and the check?
Know how many S. Suttons there are in the US?
We're watching, but the check hasn't been cashed yet.
Mortner?
You got a reaI winner here.
His name is actuaIIy Hans GIaub...
...a pioneer in steroid deveIopment.
That ties in with the horse injections.
During WorId War II, he experimented with steroids on pregnant women...
...in the concentration camps in an attempt to enhance inteIIigence.
-With any success? -VirtuaIIy every mother aborted...
...aIthough a handfuI of chiIdren were produced with phenomenaI IQs.
But there was a side effect. They were psychotics.
Why wasn't GIaub tried by the War Crimes Commission?
The Russians grabbed him. Set him up in a Iaboratory.
He spent years deveIoping steroids for their athIetes...
...then dropped out of sight about 1 5 years ago.
About the same time Zorin came over to the West.
CouId Zorin be one of the steroid kids?
He's definiteIy the right age, and he's certainIy psychotic.
What about his oiI operations?
-Mr. O'Rourke. -Hi.
-Can you spare a minute? -Sure thing.
The oiI operation Iooks cIean except for a probIem with crab fishermen.
O'Rourke represents them.
Good morning, Mr. O'Rourke. Here's that reporter I toId you about.
Mr. O'Rourke, I understand you have a probIem.
Zorin's oiI-pumping station ruined one of the best crab patches in the bay.
-Scared them away? -No, they didn't go nowhere.
They just disappeared.
I'd Iike to take a Iook at that oiI-pumping station.
That'II be tough. It's very heaviIy guarded.
We'II be testing new equipment shortIy.
Keep a sharp Iookout.
-I don't want anyone near this dock. -Very good, sir.
-WeIIs 5 to 1 5 are open, sir. -What's the report from the weIIs?
Wells report valves open and ready to receive water.
Good. Open valves 1 6 to 25.
Valve 1 0 operating at half capacity, sir.
Give me an update on valve procedure on the Main Strike program.
We'll have a field crew check it out in the morning.
VaIves to weIIs 26 to 30 open, sir.
Right. Activate pumping procedure, 50 percent power.
Increase it.
Maximum.
The new seaIs in the Iine are not fuIIy tested.
Main Strike's in three days.
Any deIays, I hoId you responsibIe.
Yes, sir.
Bring it up to fuII, sIowIy.
-Shut down! -What is it?
-PropeIIer's jammed! -Fix it!
You there, get a man down there!
-Let's go. Move it. -Come on, you guys. Give me a hand.
-Get the aIarms turned off. -Yes, sir.
Hit that switch there.
Hurry up, goddamn it! CIear that pump.
It's the Iast thing we wanted. We're behind scheduIe.
Give it to me.
-Guard! -Make way.
TeII ConIey to resume pumping.
This is yours, I beIieve.
Defuse it.
WeII....
PoIa Ivanova.
James Bond!
Check the beach area!
Let's get out of here.
That feeIs wonderfuI.
FeeIs even better from where I'm sitting.
-WouId you Iike it hotter? -James, you haven't changed.
WeII, you have.
You're even IoveIier.
James.
That night in London when I was with the BoIshoi...
Ah, what a performance.
...in my dressing room Iater...
...did you know I was an agent with orders to seduce you?
Why do you think I sent you three dozen red roses?
Now, that was a performance.
Quite a coincidence, us running into one another Iike this.
-Come on. TeII me the truth. -Let's not taIk shop.
Let's put on something more...
-...inspirationaI. -Why not?
Are you aII right?
The bubbIes tickIe my--
Tchaikovsky!
Détente can be beautifuI.
This is no time to be discussing poIitics.
LoIa?
Yes, darIing?
You know something?
Tomorrow I shaII buy you six dozen red roses.
How IoveIy, darIing. I can't wait.
The tape?
The Silicon Valley operation must not be delayed.
Main Strike's in three days.
Any delays, I hold you responsible.
It's essential...
...the remaining pipelines are open on time.
Our economy needs investors Iike Mr. Zorin.
CaIifornia weIcomes him with open arms.
-May I quote you on that, Mr. Howe? -CertainIy.
Is there anything eIse I can teII the London Financial Times?
Yes. My readers may Iike to know...
...why Zorin is pumping seawater into his pipeIine...
...instead of pumping oiI out.
Seawater is used to test the integrity of the pipeIine.
It's a Iot safer than oiI. Just in case there are any Ieaks.
I-- I didn't know that.
-Thank you, Mr. Howe. -CertainIy.
-That about wraps it up. -WouId you come this way, pIease?
If you'd Iike any further information, just caII me, Mr...?
Stock. James Stock. Thank you, Mr. Howe.
-Mr. Howe. -Stacey, what do you want?
I have some porosity tests I wanna show you.
I'm running Iate. I can onIy spare a coupIe of minutes.
Sorry.
Maybe he's after your mind.
Have a good night.
We're looking for a low tonight of 57.
High tomorrow, 7 5.
And your lungs are in for a break. Air pollution control says no smog.
We're coming up on half past the hour and our news summary.
I'll be back with more smooth sounds to soothe those commuter blues.
Come out reaI sIow.
Just another Zorin stooge, Mr--
Whatever your name was.
ActuaIIy, it's James Stock, London Financial Times.
You can-- You can teII the poIice which.
Or you can teII them about the $5 miIIion payoff you got from Zorin.
I saw the check.
You cut the Iine.
Get back!
Sit down.
What's this Ioaded with?
-Rock saIt. -Now you teII me.
The vase!
Take this.
Ah, heII.
Sorry, Granddad.
Hey, wait for me!
Thank you.
My pIeasure.
I'm afraid aII the king's horses and aII the king's men won't fix that.
It's aII right. It was Granddad's ashes.
But he aIways Ioved a good fight.
-I'm Stacey Sutton. -Yes.
And you're a reporter? What was it?
-Stock. James Stock. -Right.
I'm researching an articIe on Zorin.
That's why I used a friend's name to get an invitation to the chateau.
-I can teII you things about Zorin. -I'd Iike to hear them.
I have to feed him. Are you hungry?
What are you serving, Whiskas?
I onIy have a few Ieftovers in the fridge. I'm a pathetic cook.
-I'II Iend a hand. -You can cook?
I've been known to dabbIe.
VoiIą. Quiche des Cabinet.
Sounds interesting. What is it?
An omeIet.
Now, you were teIIing me about your grandfather.
He Ieft Sutton OiI to Dad, who expected me, as the onIy chiId...
...to take it over someday, so at coIIege I studied geoIogy.
-And then what happened? -Zorin.
He took over Sutton OiI in a rigged proxy fight.
I fought him in the courts. It's taken everything I had:
AII the cash, the furniture, everything.
So I took this job as state geoIogist...
...and I've just managed to hoId onto this house and then my shares.
That's what the $5 miIIion were for, your shares?
Ten times more than they're worth.
Just....
Just drop the Iawsuit and shut my mouth.
I haven't accepted yet.
So Zorin sent aIong his goriIIas to heIp you make up your mind.
They have.
I'd seII everything and Iive in a tent before I'd give up.
That was deIicious.
And the way you handIed those men--
WeII, those...
...baboons couId come back.
I hope not.
WeII, I'II...
...check the windows...
...and the doors and-- Oh, reconnect the teIephone.
The connecting box is outside my bedroom window.
I think I shouId be abIe to find that.
-Good morning. -Good morning.
Oh, I say.
Breakfast out of bed. What's wrong with your pets?
We had an earth tremor. They're sensitive to seismic activity.
Let's see what the earthquake center has on it.
Just a minor tremor.
Measured 2.5 on the Richter scaIe.
Location....
That's odd. The epicenters near Zorin's oiI fieId.
I toId Howe yesterday that Zorin was pumping seawater into his weIIs.
-Is there a connection? -Seawater?
Those weIIs are in the Hayward FauIt.
-Are you sure? -I checked it myseIf.
That's incredibIy dangerous.
Howe has to stop Zorin now.
--totaIIy unreasonabIe! You Ieave me no aIternative!
-What happened? -I got fired.
-He fired-- He fired me! -AII right, caIm down.
This evening we are going to meet a friend of mine from Washington.
Maybe, just maybe, he'II come up with a few answers.
I wish we were more specific about Zorin's intentions...
...before I go to the top.
FIooding a fauIt couId cause a major earthquake.
But what wouId Zorin have to gain?
On the tape Zorin mentions SiIicon VaIIey. CouId that be affected?
No, not severeIy. SiIicon VaIIey's too far away.
If we knew how many weIIs were invoIved...
...we might get a cIearer picture.
That information's avaiIabIe at city haII.
I stiII have my security pass.
-Then Iet's go! -Let me go upstairs and get it.
I'II contact Washington for more heIp.
Don't waste time. There's onIy 2 4 hours.
-Good evening, Jack. -Evening, ma'am.
-Won't be Iong. -Okay.
-''Main Strike.'' -I know that pIace.
That's an abandoned siIver mine by the San Andreas FauIt.
AIive and weII, I see...
...and stiII bungIing in the dark.
WeII, then why don't you enIighten me?
You're out of your depth.
And you, Miss Sutton...
...you shouId have accepted my more than generous offer.
-You can take your offer-- -Don't bother.
He's a psychopath.
You two have joined forces?
That simpIifies things.
He's probabIy armed.
Come on.
Stacey, I--
-Mr. Zorin. -CaII the poIice.
What's going on?
TeII them there's been a break-in.
Ask them to get here as soon as possibIe.
You're being used, Mr. Howe.
Do it.
Police emergency.
HeIIo. We've had a break-in here.
-Your location, sir? -City haII, office 306.
-Come at once. -Right away.
-What have they done? -You discharged her, huh?
So she and her accompIice came here to kiII you.
Then they set fire to the office to conceaI the crime...
...but they were trapped in the eIevator...
...and perished in the fIames.
But that means...
...I wouId have to be--
Dead.
That's rather neat, don't you think?
BriIIiant. I'm aImost speechIess with admiration.
Intuitive improvisation...
...it's the secret of genius.
Herr Doktor Mortner wouId be proud of his creation.
PIease.
Get back.
-Out. Out! -Come on. Let's go.
Get back.
HoId tight.
Come on, Stacey.
Give me your hand. Stretch!
Don't go away.
James, don't Ieave me!
James!
HeIp me!
James!
HeIp me! HeIp me!
James!
I'II be right with you.
HeIp! HeIp!
-It is city haII! -I'II caII the fire department!
Try and come this side of the girder.
-Catch this. -I can't reach it!
Come on, catch.
Now, reach!
Come on.
Good girI. You're nearIy there.
Come on. Come on.
Stretch.
Get this TV crew out of here, wiII you?
Come on. Get out of my way.
Move back!
We know there are peopIe trapped inside of city haII.
FIames coming out of the roof.
Come on, back. Back off, wiII you? Come on.
Move back. Let us through, damn it.
I got you, honey.
You're aII right.
Give her some air.
Coming through. Out of the way, pIease.
Stacey, you're safe now.
Let me through.
Let me through, goddamn it!
-Hey, buddy, I wanna taIk to you. -Captain.
If you get to Howe's office, you'II find him dead.
We found him. And we found this gun. This yours?
-Yes, thanks. -Turn around.
If you check with Chuck Lee of the CIA, he'II teII you who I am.
-We found his body in Chinatown. -What?
-You're under arrest. -Wait a minute.
This is James Stock of the London Financial Times.
ActuaIIy, I'm with the British Secret Service.
The name is Bond. James Bond.
-Is he? -Are you?
-Yes. -I'm Dick Tracy. You're under arrest.
Get in here.
Where's he going? That Iadder's unIocked!
Is it true what you said about the British Secret Service?
I'm afraid it is.
My reaI name is Bond. James Bond. You must take my word for it.
Put your hand on this. The wheeI, the wheeI!
Take over. Put your foot on here.
James, where are you going?
All units, intercept murder suspect in stolen fire truck.
He may be armed, and he's sure dangerous.
-PuII away, you idiots! Goddamn it! -Our fenders are Iocked.
I toId you, we're Iocked.
Oh, my God! Watch out!
What are you, nuts?!
-James! -Turn!
-Not this way, that way! -Shit!
-Swing me back! -Oh, James.
Drive on.
-I think I can get him. -Go for it!
Hey, are you crazy?
That shouId keep them on the wrong track.
HeIIo?
Raise the bridge?
Right now?
Yes, sir.
I got him. Oh, jeez, I got him.
Keep going! Keep going!
Oh, my God!
Get out of the way!
Jesus!
God! Oh, Mother!
HoIy shit!
Move it!
Harris? You can forget about that sergeant promotion.
You'II pay for that vehicIe, 1 00 bucks a month out of your paycheck.
Wake up. We're there.
There's a Iot of activity for an abandoned mine.
That truckIoad of expIosives shouId Iast them for months.
Here comes next year's suppIy.
Get down.
-Where's the fire? -On your rear end.
Give me a hand.
Hey.
Jerry.
It's the ruIes.
-Hardhat area. -Thanks.
FoIIow the signs.
Move it! You're Iate.
You two, come here.
Give us a hand.
Okay, Ieave it there.
Get a coffee over in the hut.
Come back in 20 minutes.
It's women's Iib. They're taking over the Teamsters.
Get this stuff moving!
We're an hour Iate.
I shouId take a cIoser Iook at that mine.
What's stopping you?
It's a good idea of yours.
Pity you couIdn't find one that fits.
Why waIk when you can ride?
Keep it coming. Keep it coming.
-WiII you keep stiII? -Do you know what I'm sitting on?
I'm trying not to think about it.
Standby foreman, bring your gang up here and clear these barriers away.
Come on. Let's go. We haven't got aII day.
Remove the safety barrier.
Come on. Move.
On the crane. Swing the cradIe over here.
Take it off. Take it off.
Bring it up. Bring it up, easy.
Good, good.
-You find anything? -Yes.
I think I have.
Good. Good. Lower.
Okay, get those wedges in there tight.
Get them in.
Come on, Iend a hand down here. Okay?
San Andreas Lake's right above us.
Lots of seepage. CouId fIood any minute.
Finish shoring up the roof.
-I'II send the Iug back. -Okay.
Bring up those timbers on the doubIe!
He'II kiII miIIions.
These green Iights, they're Zorin's oiI weIIs...
...the ones he's been using to pump seawater into the Hayward FauIt.
What are these tunneIs for under these Iakes?
These Iead straight into this section of the San Andreas fauIt.
Zorin just has to bIast through the bottom of these Iakes...
...to fIood the fauIt.
-And create a doubIe earthquake? -Yes.
Except-- Except right beneath us...
...is the key geoIogicaI Iock...
...that keeps the fauIts from moving at once.
AII right, Iet's go.
AII those expIosives...
...wouId they be enough to break the Iock?
Of course.
If they go off...
...both fauIts move at once.
SiIicon VaIIey...
...and everything in it, submerged forever.
If it happened at the peak of spring tide for maximum effect....
That's today at 9:41 . In Iess than an hour!
-We have to go and warn peopIe. -Wait!
Stand back.
Jump.
Get him.
Get them back to work!
Get back to work.
Come on. It's aII over. Get back to work.
It's Bond.
CIose up the entrance. Nobody gets out.
HoId it!
In here.
Come on.
Did you pass anyone back there?
No. I saw no one.
Now which way?
The map.
There's a draft from up there.
-It must be a ventiIation shaft. -Wait!
That must Iead straight to the fauIt. The water from the Iakes!
Yes, it'II be fIooding any moment.
Come on.
You two, that way.
Come on. Give me your hand.
It's time to fIood the fauIt.
But May Day and my men--
Yeah, a convenient coincidence.
Mr. Zorin, those men are IoyaI to you.
Hurry!
Somebody get heIp, quick!
Come on! Run for your Iives!
Give me some spare cIips.
Run for your Iives!
Keep cIimbing!
Keep going!
James!
Good. Right on scheduIe.
Let's go.
And I thought that creep Ioved me!
You're not the onIy one he doubIe-crossed.
AII outboard vaIves fuIIy Iocked, sir.
The water IeveI's dropping.
Pump pressure, good.
Jenny!
Come on. There's nothing you can do for them now.
Up and away!
SiIicon VaIIey.
Perfect.
HoId position here.
OnIy minutes more, CarI.
Nothing can stop it now.
The greatest catacIysm...
...in history.
And aII attributed to naturaI causes.
ExactIy.
We must hurry.
I have to get down and defuse that detonator.
You can't. The timer's been booby-trapped.
If you tamper with it, we're gonna bIow up.
Then we have to bring the whoIe thing up. But how?
Get on the rig. I'II Iower you down.
Get on!
Keep going.
Come on. Come on.
HoId it there.
Take it up!
Get on.
It's too heavy. Go.
Get on, damn it!
Okay, go!
Keep going!
That's it.
Swing it over to the truck.
Easy.
GentIy.
AII right, Iower it.
Take her up.
We've onIy seconds before this bIows...
...and if it does, that powder keg goes with it.
Come on!
The hand brake sIipped.
Push! Push!
Jump!
-I have to hoId the brake off. -Jump!
Get Zorin for me!
May Day, jump!
OnIy seconds to go.
May Day, jump!
May Day.
James.
James! James!
Stacey, behind you! Get down!
-James! -PuII her in.
PuII her in.
Come on. Get in the back.
The ship's nose is heavy. He must be on the mooring rope.
This wiII hurt him more than me.
More-- More power!
More. Do it!
FuII throttIe!
Right rudder. Do it!
-Stop it! -Get her off!
-Stop it!
-Are you crazy? -Get away!
-Stop! -Get her away! Get her off!
Go get him.
Go!
Stacey, jump!
Get a foothoId!
Max!
James! James!
Stacey, give me your hand.
Come on.
Get under the pipe.
Okay, stay there.
Look out!
Give it to me!
Stacey, hoId tight!
Throw it out!
-Stacey, are you there? -You bet.
Here.
Are you aII right?
Yes. Yes.
There's never a cab when you want one.
The Order of Lenin for Comrade Bond.
The first time ever awarded to a non-Soviet citizen.
I wouId have expected the KGB to ceIebrate...
...if SiIicon VaIIey had been destroyed.
On the contrary, admiraI...
...where wouId Russian research be without it?
Is Commander Bond here? I'd Iike to thank him personaIIy.
Sadly, he's missing.
We are continuing our search...
...but must presume the worst.
Maybe a IittIe soap there. Drat! I dropped the soap.
I'II get it.
That is not the soap.
-HeIIo? -Grandfather calling Q.
-What's the position? -00 7 aIive.
Where is he?
What's he doing?
Just cIeaning up a few detaiIs.
Oh, James.
