Operation Vengeance Jame Bond 007 v.01142019
MALLORY
Enjoy your cell.
Tanner and Mallory exit the truck. Officer Williams locks
Blofeld’s shackles and sits down opposite him.
A giant private security company guard steps into the truck
wearing a broad smile and closes the doors behind him. The
enormous guard’s huge frame is seen in stark contrast to
Officer Williams’ average build. His name is MISTER HINX and
his neck can be seen to be badly scarred.
Q
A suspicious helicopter.
MONEYPENNY
I’ll take the armed response team
to meet them. Can the new drone
center back us up?
Q
Yes, but only after I had the joy
of our new leader, Lord Mosley, and
his private sector minions crawling
all over me.
Q dials his cell phone.
Q (CONT’D)
Mosley’s drones should give this
helicopter a big surprise.
BLOFELD
Is it time?
Hinx smiles and rams his fist into a surprised Officer
Williams. Blofeld takes William’s radio.
BLOFELD (CONT’D)
Mallory, and his people, will
suffer, truly suffer, for my
incarceration.
BLOFELD
Mister Hinx.
Hinx grabs Officer Williams by the head, gripping his temples
and forcing his thumbs into Williams’ eye sockets. Williams
struggles, cries out, and then passes out. His limp body,
dropped by Hinx, crumples to the floor.
BLOFELD (CONT’D)
Shall we go?
TANNER
Find. Bond. Get. Blofeld.
MALLORY
We both will, Tanner.
TANNER
For. me.
Tanner stops breathing, life ebbs from his eyes.
MALLORY
If it’s my final mission, old
friend. Even if it’s my, final
mission.
MAIN TITLES.
LATER:
Madeleine finishes repairing an old wood window shutter.
Bond, stripped to the waist, is forcefully chopping wood with
a splitting axe. A smiling Madeleine hops over to her
husband.
MADELEINE
Almost done?
Bond drops his axe onto the splitting block.
BOND
I’ve got plenty of wood to stoke
your oven.
MADELEINE
You do love what I can cook up.
BOND
I do. I’ll nibble every morsel.
Madeleine throws her arms around Bond’s neck.
MADELEINE
But, tonight it’s your turn.
BOND
How about pan-seared swordfish? I
can drive down to the fish market.
MADELEINE
I feel like steak.
BOND
I don’t like steak. And you like
yours blue.
MADELEINE
Why not try it, you might like it?
BOND
I know what I like.
MADELEINE
You’re too stuck in your ways.
BOND
How about we meet in the middle?
Deadly blowfish.
MADELEINE
You’ll be the death of me.
A car is heard in the distance.
MADELEINE (CONT’D)
(anxiously)
A car, here?

CONTINUED:
MADELEINE
Non? Why so?
Bond’s face hardens, he knows what’s coming next.
MALLORY
I came to tell you. Well, there’s
no easy way to say it.
(beat)
Blofeld’s kidnapped Moneypenny and,
Tanner’s dead.
Madeleine stares at Bond, seeking a reaction. Bond can’t
speak.
MALLORY
We think it’s a new type of weapon
of mass destruction.
BOND
What have they got you doing?
MALLORY
I’m assisting the new Combined
Intelligence Service boss, Lord
Mosley. And they’ve reactivated my
Northern Ireland Hereford regiment
commission, I’m a Lieutenant
Colonel again.
BOND
Mosley?
MALLORY
The Prime Minister appointed Lord
Mosley to oversee this long
gestating merger of MI-5 and MI-6
into what is a technology obsessed
mess of a combined service.
MADELEINE
What’s happening in England?
MALLORY
One strategic blunder after
another. And the old alliances just
aren’t there anymore. Blofeld is
powerful, with friends we didn’t
know he had and in regimes where we
thought we could make trade deals.
All in all, we could do with your
help, James.
Madeleine stares at her husband, concerned. Bond tries hard
not to show emotion and his welling sense of guilt.
The three sit in an awkward silence for a moment.
MALLORY (CONT’D)
Look, I might not be M anymore, but
we’re still a team. Me, Q,
Moneypenny. She wanted to visit you
both.
BOND
She did.
Madeleine’s left hand clasps Bond’s right hand. Madeleine is
close to tears, Bond has his emotional armor on
BOND (CONT’D)
I can’t give you an answer right
now, M.

MALLORY
I can understand, it’s a lot to
take in.
(writing on a note)
This is my hotel. I fly out
tomorrow evening.
A disappointed Mallory pushes the note towards Bond.
MONEYPENNY
What a shame. Nice training area, I
liked the flamethrowers.
BLOFELD
Frau Bunt makes good use of it, she
is very good at what she does. I
think you two have a lot in common.
MONEYPENNY
Good, she can show me the way off
your island.
Moneypenny focuses on the room she is in, a well-equipped
infirmary with a single door and a large window into a larger
white room are the only possible exits.
BLOFELD
Why would I let such a valuable
person leave? Born in London’s
Finsbury Park on a cold September
sixth to immigrant Caribbean
parents and rose to graduate in
political science from Cambridge
University, no less. And whose last
job was personal assistant to one
ex-M, Gareth Mallory.
MONEYPENNY
You’re well informed.
BLOFELD
I find if you take an interest in
people, they take an interest in
you. I think you would do very well
here.
MONEYPENNY
I disagree.
BLOFELD
Tiago Rodriguez, Craig Mitchell,
they turned to us. How has your MI-
6, if it still exists, treated you?
Was there ever a black double-o?
Moneypenny is silent, knowing there is some truth to the
accusation.
BLOFELD (CONT’D)
No, I didn’t think so. You risk
your life and they give you a slap
on the back from Her Majesty. A
lousy deal.
19.

MONEYPENNY
I do it to protect my family and
friends, and all the decent people
in my country and around the world
who don’t deserve to be exploited
by the likes of you; who killed
their own father.
BLOFELD
Yes, biological father, but, we
weren’t close.
MONEYPENNY
You left him to die on the side of
a mountain.
BLOFELD
Something I have in common with
James. Did you know his parents
died on a mountain side?
MONEYPENNY
No.
BLOFELD
Ah, he never told you! So many
secrets. Ask him about it when you
see him next.
MONEYPENNY
He’s a long way away from wherever
we are.
BLOFELD
For now.
MONEYPENNY
What sick game are you playing,
Blofeld?
BLOFELD
A very simple one. You, Eve
Moneypenny, are going to help me
torment our friend James Bond, and
exact my revenge on Gareth Mallory.
MONEYPENNY
Never.
Blofeld walks defiantly out of the small room, its door,
heavy and sound proof, closes and locks.
MONEYPENNY (CONT’D)
Never! GO TO HELL, BLOFELD!
Moneypenny sees Blofeld through the large window. He lets the
cat go and starts giving orders to a young beautiful brunette
doctor who is operating a control panel. Moneypenny can’t
hear what they are saying.

MADELEINE
Bonjour Q.
Madeleine looks at Q’s medical data on the screens around
him.
MADELEINE (CONT’D)
Looking at your charts, I’d say
you’re doing well.
Q
What hurts more is what happened to
Tanner and Moneypenny.
BOND
Blofeld will suffer for what he’s
done.
Q
I hope so, but he’s far stronger
than we imagined. Technology turned
out to be our Achilles heel. It was
chaos, they destroyed our drones.
BOND
Mallory didn’t mention that.
Q
This Combined Intelligence Service
is obsessed with drones and
satellites replacing agents.
MADELEINE
(To Bond)
They’ve replaced you with robots.
Bond is not amused and ignores the cheeky remark.
Q
Q branch has been absorbed into an
new all-powerful automation
department. My boss isn’t Mallory
anymore. I’m sorry I can’t help
you. But, against Blofeld, it’s all
up to you two.
LORD MOSLEY
As Blofeld can kill our drones,
we’ll use a satellite to track his
operatives after the exchange.
MALLORY
I will have the mission team
members finalised for you shortly.
LORD MOSLEY
I’ve decided this mission to get
Moneypenny will be led by my man,
Draven.
Mallory looks down at his shoes, irked by the decision.
MALLORY
Right you are, Sir.
LORD MOSLEY
Talk to Draven about the mission
team later today.
MALLORY
The memorial for Tanner will be
later today.
LORD MOSLEY
Afterwards then. And, Mallory, I
won’t be attending the memorial.
Mallory gives Lord Mosley a scathing look for his attitude
towards Tanner’s death.
MALLORY
Quite, Lord Mosley wants Blofeld
and his weapon destroyed. It’s
personal for him, Moneypenny’s
rescue is a means to that end.
BOND
We’re here for Moneypenny, and
that’s it.
MALLORY
Yes, this Mosley situation is not
your fight. But.
BOND
But, what?
MALLORY
Lord Mosley refuses to involve the
former double-os, because his
technology must come first.
MADELEINE
How can we help then?
MALLORY
I’ve arranged for James to be with
the SAS, under a different name.
And I’ll provide a disguise.
BOND
And Madeleine?
MALLORY
We need a field experienced medic,
which Madeleine is. Madeleine, I’ll
take you to Q’s new boss, Patricia.
She’ll have some equipment for you.
MADELEINE
When do we leave?
MALLORY
Tonight by military transport from
Northolt.
BOND
First, I’m going to see an old
friend. Drum up some more support.
BOND
This is a long way off the beaten
track for a Section Chief for South
America.
LEITER
Or Rome, Italy, for you.
The two men shake hands like old friends.
BOND
It has its pleasures.
LEITER
I met her, remember?
BOND
Congrats on the London posting.
LEITER
Congrats on getting hitched.
Bond glances down at his wedding band with a slightly
embarrassed half-smile.
LEITER (CONT’D)
I heard your government’s chasing
Greene’s friends again. And now you
want a favour from me, nothing has
changed.
BOND
It’s not just for me, it’s for MI-
6, your allies, Felix.
LEITER
Is MI-6 around anymore? I hear
different. And I’d heard you’d
left. What the hell is going on?
BOND
And what is up with Langley these
days?
LEITER
What's up with the White House is a
better question. Sometimes I think
the Russians know what our policy
is before we do.
BOND
Simpler days fighting coca
communism then.
LEITER
You bet. We’re living in uncertain
times, brother, and your Lord
Mosley doesn’t know what he’s
doing.
25.
CONTINUED: (2)
BOND
So, can you give me something,
anything?
LEITER
Officially, forget it. But, for a
pal, find the International
Brotherhood for the Assistance of
Stateless Persons and you’ll find
Blofeld.
MADELEINE
What do you think?
BOND
I’ve met his type before.
Bond scratches at his false beard between his helmet strap
and his chin and grimaces.
MADELEINE
Itchy?
BOND
A little.
MADELEINE
James. In 24 hours, this could all
be over.
Madeleine pretends not to be apprehensive.
BOND
All that time with Medecine Sans
Frontiers. Your father’s training.
(smiling)
It’ll all be over in the wink of an
eye.
Bond pauses and gives Madeleine an odd look.
BOND (CONT’D)
Phablet?
MADELEINE
Q’s new boss, Patricia. It’s her
gadget for all field personnel.
BOND
It only gets worse.
MADELEINE
I won’t switch mine on. Mallory
told me Blofeld might be able to
track it.
BOND
You can stick that...
The aircraft’s engines powering up to a deafening roar for
take-off drown out Bond’s comment, but Madeleine’s grin says
it all.
BOND
I’m here, Madeleine, you’re going
to be OK.
MADELEINE
James.
BOND
Yes, I’m here.
MADELEINE
Moneypenny?
Bond helps her sit up, she looks into his eyes, overwhelmed
by the experience.
BOND
They got her aboard the plane,
she’s safe.
Madeleine embraces Bond, smiling.
MADELEINE (CONT’D)
We know Moneypenny is safe, what
are we doing here?
BOND
We’ve got to catch up with those
chemicals. We might be giving
Blofeld a weapon of mass
destruction.
MADELEINE
Catch up with them? We have no idea
where they went.
BOND
Before we left England, a friend
gave me a tip, find the
International Brotherhood for the
Assistance of Stateless Persons,
and you’ll find Blofeld.
MADELEINE
It’s a front for him?
BOND
Yes. And it has an office in the
port town, my guess is they’re
going there.
Bond takes a swig from a bottle of water and hands it to
Madeleine.
BOND (CONT’D)
It’s a ten hour drive to the port,
we’ve got to get started.
MADELEINE
And the dead, are just left for the
vultures?
BOND
We can’t help them. Do you want
their deaths to be for nothing?
MADELEINE
(humbled)
No. Of course not.
(she focuses on Bond)
How’s your false beard?
Bond feels his false beard.
BOND
I’d forgotten about it. It’s OK.
Why?
MADELEINE
Not itchy or painful?
34.
CONTINUED: (2)
BOND
No, why would it be?
Madeleine rips off part of the fake beard to punish Bond for
his cold attitude. Bond cries out in pain. Madeleine has a
look of satisfaction.
Bond pulls off the remainder of the false beard, visibly
pained by doing it, then embraces Madeleine and they kiss
deeply. Behind them the sun rises.
MALLORY
They retrieved Moneypenny.
Mallory swallows hard. He’s finding it difficult to form the
words.
Q
Retrieved?
MALLORY
It’s not good, Q, not good at all.
Q
You’re scaring me.
MALLORY
A lot of our people died.
Moneypenny is dead.
Q
Dead?!
Mallory buries his head in his hands, his grief overcoming
him.
MALLORY
Lord Mosley’s incompetence. The
mission was an utter shambles. We
think Blofeld poisoned Moneypenny
long before the exchange.
Q
And Bond and Madeleine?
Mallory collapses into a chair, weak at the great feeling of
loss.
MALLORY
Presumed dead.
Q is shaking, tears well up in his eyes.
MALLORY (CONT’D)
I say presumed. I wouldn’t believe
a word Draven says. Is the smart
blood tracker switched on?
Q
Yes!
BOND
We lost our luggage and only have
these clothes from our hunting
trip.
HOTEL MANAGERESS
Most unfortunate, Sir. One of my
staff will assist you with your new
wardrobe too, Mister Bond.
The room bell rings.
HOTEL MANAGERESS (CONT’D)
Please, you’re butler will answer
it.
An elderly gentleman opens the door. It is the hotel chef,
pushing a trolley with champagne on ice and meals under domed
silver plate covers.
HOTEL CHEF
The caviar, as ordered Sir. And
chilled Bollinger.
HOTEL MANAGERESS
Excellent. By the bed please. Well,
we will leave you, thank you again
for choosing our hotel.
MADELEINE
You’re welcome.
HOTEL MANAGERESS
And, Mister Bond, I’m happy to add
that your credit will be good for
our Casino.
BOND
(smiling)
Even better.
The butler, chef and manageress leave and the suite’s doors
close behind them. Bond and Madeleine look at each other and
burst into laughter.
MADELEINE
(coyly)
What now?
MADELEINE
The other dinner jacket would have
been better.
BOND
I wanted to wear this one.
Stopping by a blackjack table, Bond takes an interest in the
unfolding game. A beautiful woman takes an interest in Bond,
who smiles back in appreciation.
Bond’s arm is grabbed, Madeleine stares disapprovingly. Bond
is pulled away from the table, he shrugs at the beautiful
woman.
Standing by the long bar, drink in hand, is VILLIERS, long
time MI-6 staffer. Bond and Madeleine walk up to the bar.
BOND (CONT’D)
Vodka martini, shaken not stirred.
BARMAN
And for the lady?
MADELEINE
A dirty Martini, please.
The barman pours the drinks.
BARMAN
Room number, Sir?
VILLIERS (O.S.)
I’ll pay for these.
Bond and Madeleine turn at the sound of the voice.
VILLIERS (CONT’D)
(dour)
Mister Beech. Our paths cross once
again, after a very, very long
time.
BOND
(lost for words)
Villiers.
MADELEINE
(looking askew at Bond)
Enchanté. I’m Doctor Madeleine
Bond.
VILLIERS
Lovely to meet you.
MADELEINE
Who’s this, Mister Beech?
39.
CONTINUED: (2)
BOND
A very old cover name, I never
used.
VILLIERS
Your husband wasn't one for playing
by the rules.
MADELEINE
(coyly)
Only his own.
BOND
You realise rules are pointless
once you've played the game long
enough.
VILLIERS
(with resignation)
It's certainly been a journey for
all of us.
BOND
How did you know we were here?
Madeleine has a mischievous grin on her face.
VILLIERS
Mallory knew you were at this
hotel. Need to know only, and all
that.
BOND
(thoughtfully)
It must have been my credit card.
VILLIERS
I thought the Casino was a good bet
to find you.
BOND
Did they brief you about Blofeld’s
chemicals?
VILLIERS
Yes. And by chance, a local source
had told me about a chemicals
shipment matching Blofeld’s.
MADELEINE
They know where they are?
VILLIERS
Maybe, I’ll find out tomorrow.
BOND
What do you know about the
brotherhood of stateless persons
here?
40.
CONTINUED: (3)
VILLIERS
Odd organisation. They have a large
office building in the town.
(beat)
There is, one more thing London
told me.
MADELEINE
About Moneypenny?
Villiers knocks back his drink, stares into the bottom of his
glass.
MADELEINE (CONT’D)
How is she?
VILLIERS
Blofeld poisoned her.
MADELEINE
Poisoned!
Madeleine darts a look of horror at Bond whose face is a
mask.
VILLIERS
She died before Draven got back to
Blighty.
Bond’s guilt burns away at him.
BOND
I should have killed Blofeld on
Westminster bridge.
MADELEINE
Yes.
BOND
I’ve never heard the name Marc-Ange
Borraud.
MADELEINE
(her voice wavering)
Neither have I.
Madeleine walks to the B drawers and rifles through more
cards. She stops, suddenly riveted, when she finds a card,
with shaking fingers she holds it up.
MADELEINE (CONT’D)
Borraud, Marc-Ange, born, Corsica,
1950, deceased. Married, 1978,
wife, Teresa Marie Annie. One
child. Female.
Madeleine looks away from the card, tears well up in here
eyes.
MADELEINE (CONT’D)
Name. Madeleine Teresa.
BOND
Your real name, Madeleine Teresa
Borraud.
MADELEINE
(blurting out her reply)
I never knew it. I knew Papa had
many names, but he was just Papa to
me. My mother has never told me our
real name.
Madeleine drops the card and throws herself into Bond’s arms.
BOND
To keep you alive.
Running footsteps can be heard in the corridor outside.
BOND (CONT’D)
We must have tripped a silent
alarm. I locked the door behind us.
People are trying to open the office’s doors, voices can be
heard.
Madeleine is staring at the card she dropped.
BOND (CONT’D)
Madeleine!
Madeleine runs to the wall of files and grabs a thick file.
43.
CONTINUED: (2)
BOND (CONT’D)
We’ve got to go!
Glass is shattered as pistol butts hammer against the office
doors. Bond and Madeleine dash for an exit at the other end
of the room. A flash bang bounces into the office behind
them.
As Bond and Madeleine exit, the flash bang explodes, tipping
a table, papers scattering across the red hot cylinder,
igniting. Flames surge across the papers, the table and
across the face of the index card drawers.
BOND
Before he, died. Your father told
me this is why he quit.
MADELEINE
He did?
Madeleine pauses at the thought and then shoots a door lock
and Bond kicks in the door. Four ethnically diverse beautiful
young women in shabby clothes stand there, terrified.
Madeleine enters the room, Bond stands by the door, gun in
hand.
BOND
How do we get out?
ESHE
The window?
MADELEINE
I’m Madeleine. What’s your name?
ESHE
Eshe.
MADELEINE
Can we jump it?
Women nearer the window look through it.
WOMAN #1
It’s too far, we can make ropes
from the bed linen.
MADELEINE
Do that!
The women run into their rooms to make the bed linen ropes.
BOND
Grenade!
A grenade bounces into the corridor from the emergency exit
stairwell. Bond, Madeleine and the remaining women dive
through bedroom doorways. The grenade explodes. Heavies barge
through the emergency exit door spraying bullets as they step
over their dead colleague Bond shot earlier. Bond fires back
from his doorway, missing the men as they disperse into the
nearest rooms.
Smoke billows through the gaps around the emergency exit
stairwell door as the fire spreads through the building.
Madeleine and Bond exchange gunfire with the men to keep them
at bay. Behind Bond and Madeleine, the trafficked women throw
the bed linen ropes through the now open window and cowering
from the gunfire they climb out, one by one. The heavies use
their combined firepower to push further down the corridor,
bedroom by bedroom. Bond and Madeleine retreat under the
withering fire towards the window, firing back and
manoeuvering from doorway to doorway.
BOND (CONT’D)
How many women left?!
Bond flinches as bullets zing past.
MADELEINE
Only a few.
The heavies emerge again, guns blazing, one tries to throw a
grenade, but Madeleine shoots him.
46.
CONTINUED: (2)
BOND
Too many. I’ve contacted Villiers,
the local United Nations office is
going to help these women.
MADELEINE
It’s a start.
BOND
That was the good news.
Madeleine looks as beleaguered as she feels.
BOND (CONT’D)
Villiers said the chemicals have
already shipped. We’ve lost the
trail. I agree with him, we’ve gone
as far as we can go. He’s arranging
a flight to London for us.
Madeleine feels relieved, nodding in agreement.
MADELEINE
OK.
BOND
Cover names are supposed to be
completely different to your normal
name.
MADELEINE
I worked hard for my Doctorate,
I’ll be Doctor, whatever, OK!
VILLIERS
How’s married life working out
then?
Bond gives Villiers an exasperated look.
Through another door a CHEMICAL PLANT OFFICIAL walks in.
CHEMICAL PLANT OFFICIAL
(To Villiers)
Are you Mister Charrington?
VILLIERS
Yes, I’m the agent here for
Universal Exports. We’re very happy
you could meet us.
CHEMICAL PLANT OFFICIAL
And these are your colleagues?
Madame?
MADELEINE
Enchanté. My name is Bond, Doctor
Madeleine Bond. I am the senior
regional vice president for
Universal Exports.
Bond fumes at Madeleine’s action, he stuffs his business card
back in his pocket. Villiers smiles.
BOND
I’m James Beech, Universal Exports
regional vice president.
CHEMICAL PLANT OFFICIAL
Welcome Doctor Bond, Mister Beech.
If you will follow me to the second
floor.
Bond, Madeleine and Villiers pull their guns and aim them at
the now horrified official. Villiers puts his finger to his
mouth indicating silence. Bond steps up to the conference
room double doors and listens. He steps back.
BOND
Get ready.
Bond kicks open the doors. Behind a huge board room desk, at
the other end of the rectangular room, Mister Hinx and
Japanese Spectre executive member, KIMURA, stand surprised.
MADELEINE
You!
Recognizing Bond and Madeleine, Hinx grins a sadistic grin.
BOND
He’s Spectre, Villiers!
Hinx flings upwards his end of the table as Bond, Villiers
and Madeleine blast away with their guns, bullets striking
the raised table top and Kimura, who collapses wounded.
Hinx shoves the huge table over and Bond, Madeleine and
Villiers dodge the falling slab, but it crushes the chemical
plant official with a cracking thud.
Hinx crashes through a side door and Bond, Madeleine and
Villiers sprint after him.
BOND
You’ve forgotten the associate of
Villiers’ killer. He might still be
alive.
KIMURA
(To Bond)
You.
BOND
Where’s Blofeld!
KIMURA
I know you, James. Bond.
BOND
Then you know I kill your kind.
KIMURA
I’ll give you nothing.
Madeleine removes a scalpel from the field medic kit.
MADELEINE
And me? Why did you dial Doctor
Shatterhand?!
KIMURA
You don’t scare me, woman.
Madeleine grabs Kimura’s pants’s waistband and starts
cutting.
KIMURA (CONT’D)
(panicking)
What are you doing?!
Bond rips off Kimura’s pants. Madeleine holds the scalpel
against Kimura’s briefs.
MADELEINE
My name is Doctor Madeleine Bond. I
am a surgeon.
KIMURA
You lie.
BOND
It’s the truth.
Madeleine slices through the briefs. Kimura cries out.
KIMURA
No, no, no!
MADELEINE
The next cut. Who is Doctor
Shatterhand?
Coughing in pain, Kimura taunts them.
KIMURA
It doesn’t matter, we have plans
for you, your little island, Bond.
55.
CONTINUED: (2)
BOND
Really.
KIMURA
You can’t help them anymore than
you could help Moneypenny.
Kimura laughs a pained laugh, choking up blood. In his anger,
Bond grabs the scalpel from Madeleine and stabs Kimura dead,
straight through the heart.
MADELEINE
James! Was that necessary!
Bond stares back defiantly.
MADELEINE (CONT’D)
He could have given us important
information!
Bond tries hard not to show his pleasure at killing Kimura.
BOND
That was for Tanner, Moneypenny,
and Villiers.
Exasperated, Madeleine glares at him.
MADELEINE
Blind inconsolable rage is not the
answer.
Bond hits re-dial on the handset and puts it on speakerphone.
BOND
Who or whatever Shatterhand is,
I’ll offer the chemicals and when
we meet them, get your scalpel
ready.
Madeleine is unimpressed, rolling her eyes. The ringing tone
for Doctor Shatterhand can be heard from the phone’s speaker
and then it’s answered.
BLOFELD (O.S.)
Kimura.
(beat)
Kimura?
BOND
BLOFELD!
BLOFELD (O.S.)
Ah, James. It’s so nice to hear
from you.
Madeleine turns to Bond, a terrible fear in her eyes.
Bond returns her gaze, he’s fiercely angry.
56.
CONTINUED: (3)
BLOFELD (CONT’D)
James? Are you there? Shouldn’t you
be with your lovely wife?
BOND
(focusing on Blofeld)
I released your trafficked women
and I’ve got your chemicals.
BLOFELD (O.S.)
And you think you hold all the
cards? We have other, assets, to
draw on. But, those canisters, I’ll
take those.
BOND
And I want your anti-drone
technology.
BLOFELD (O.S.)
No, no, I’ll keep that, thank you.
I have something I know you’ll
want. Your friend, detained here at
my pleasure and very much alive,
one Eve Moneypenny.
BOND
(into the handheld)
YOU BLOODY LIAR!
BOND (O.S.)
I’ll be waiting.
BLOFELD
I take it Kimura is no longer with
us?
BOND (O.S.)
And you’ll join him soon enough.
BLOFELD
That is unfortunate. Once again
James, you’ve interfered in my
world. How will I interfere in
yours?
Bond ends the call, Blofeld smiles.
BLOFELD
We have co-opted other nations’
agents before, including Russians.
MONEYPENNY
Co-opted?

Our priority is the anti-drone
weapon to stop the CIA’s attacks.
BLOFELD
I can confirm a successful test of
this, in London, England, no less.
GUEST #4
Your escape was an impressive
demonstration Blofeld, but we in
North America have been more
concerned with the geo-engineering
project.
BLOFELD
I will have an update for you very
shortly. However, as valued global
partners I have invited you all
here to discuss another venture.
(beat)
Cyber, weapons. No longer are
missiles, nuclear or not, needed to
threaten nations.
MONEYPENNY
And if you believe Blofeld has
them, I have some magic beans to
sell you.
BLOFELD
Oh I have magic beans, and they
will give you more than,
indigestion, my dear Eve.
The guests laugh, Moneypenny seethes with anger.
GUEST #1
And the price for these cyber
weapons, Blofeld?
BLOFELD
Sourced from the world’s leading
cyber research agencies, the
licence for their use will be
substantial shares in your mining
concessions.
Guests’ faces are aghast, heads are shaken at the demand,
disapproving comments are mumbled.
60.
CONTINUED: (2)
BLOFELD (CONT’D)
We estimate you can recoup this
cost within five years.
There is still disquiet among the guests.
GUEST #5
(irritated)
I still want to hear what an MI-6
operative is doing here, at the
heart of your operations, Blofeld.
BLOFELD
Moneypenny has a special mission
for us. And its fruits are free for
you all.
(To Moneypenny)
Your mission, my dear. I will tell
you when, I will tell you how.
Moneypenny’s expression changes from defiance to calm.
Blofeld hands her a pistol.
GUEST #3
What the hell are you doing
Blofeld?!
BLOFELD
Wait.
(To Moneypenny)
Shoot.
The guests panic, they scatter and try to find cover behind a
chair or the table.
Moneypenny swings the gun to and fro, she struggles to carry
out the order, an inner conflict stops her from pulling the
trigger.
BLOFELD (CONT’D)
Problem, Moneypenny? Who is it you
must kill?
MONEYPENNY
(blankly)
Gareth Mallory.
Blofeld takes the pistol from Moneypenny. The guests smile
and laugh out of relief and spontaneously clap in unison.
Bond drops down into the yacht's cockpit, puts the bags at
his feet and takes out a key and opens the hatch. Stepping
down into the cabin he stows the duffle bags. Behind him,
Madeleine is gently and carefully stepping down into the
cockpit with the luggage.
MADELEINE
Can we get there in time in, this?
Bond can be seen in the cabin.
BOND
(chuckles)
It's a sloop, a 30 footer. And yes,
it will take a few days to get to
Blofeld’s coordinates.
BOND (O.S.)
I released your trafficked women
and I’ve got your chemicals.
PATRICIA
The computer has confirmed both
voices are Bond and Blofeld.
LORD MOSLEY
And that’s as much as we
intercepted. At least we know what
happened to the chemicals. We’re
now monitoring that phone 24/7.
MALLORY
(rebelliously)
It’s good to see that what is left
of your predecessor’s corrupted
Nine Eyes surveillance network is
now actually helping us and not
Blofeld.
LORD MOSLEY
But, not you Mallory, not you. Do
you know that your friend’s actions
led to the death of one of our own,
Villiers.
Mallory stifles his surprise, stunned and shocked at the
news. Q looks across at Mallory, lost for words.
LORD MOSLEY (CONT’D)
No, you don’t know. Bond has what
Blofeld wants because he destroyed
a toxic chemicals plant to get it,
and in the process Villiers died; a
loyal, long standing officer.
MALLORY
Villiers was a good man, Sir. It’s
a tragedy and another loss to the
service, like Tanner.
LORD MOSLEY
You’re very quiet Q. Care to shed
any light on this?
Q
(nervously)
I haven’t seen 007 for a while.
LORD MOSLEY
We don’t have double-os anymore!
And I find that very hard to
believe. If I find any evidence of
your...
Draven knocks on the glass office door.
63.
CONTINUED: (2)
MALLORY
We’ve got to stop Mosley somehow.
Q
Just the two of us?
MALLORY
It’s time to give Felix Leiter a
call.
MADELEINE
(aggressively)
So, blowing everyone up along with
Blofeld, is plan A?
Bond pauses, trying to gauge his answer.
BOND
You said we’d risked enough.
MADELEINE
How many people will you kill?
BOND
How many people will Blofeld kill
if we don’t?
Madeleine looks at Bond, coldly.
MADELEINE
It comes easy to you, doesn’t it.
BOND
Why are you surprised?
MADELEINE
(tersely)
I thought we agreed only Blofeld
has to die.
BOND
OK, if that’s what you want.
Bond reaches into a bag by the table and pulls out a sniper
rifle.
BOND (CONT’D)
A bolt action sniper rifle. Highly
accurate.
Madeleine looks at it with dread.
MADELEINE
This is your plan B?
BOND
You’re in a prone position. How do
you keep your line of sight to the
target?
MADELEINE
I keep my cheek on the stock, to
keep my shots steady.
BOND
Your father really did train you
well, didn’t he. You should be the
shooter.
66.
CONTINUED: (2)
MADELEINE
But, I went into medicine.
BOND
I have to be the bait, because
you’re not with me.
Madeleine pushes the rifle away.
MADELEINE
Exactly.
MALLORY
Lord Mosley is sending a strike
team to kill everyone at Blofeld’s
base, when he knows Bond will be
there. And I know his wife is with
him.
Leiter’s mouth is agape in shock.
LEITER
Bond’s wife’s with him!? James
didn’t mention that.
MALLORY
Madeleine’s father was Blofeld’s
right hand man and one of his
assassins. They drove him to his
death.
LEITER
We know.
MALLORY
Look, Felix. I can’t standby when
elected men do wrong. I’m not going
to simply, follow my orders.
Germany, Russia, Venezuela, history
is replete with examples of
democracies electing strong men
that take terrible actions. I
believe that those of us in a
position to do something, must act.
LEITER
I can provide a CIA jet to get you
there, but what are you doing
exactly?
Mallory smiles sheepishly, embarrassed at the amateur effort
he is leading.
MALLORY
It’s going to be a bit ragbag, it’s
me, some of my SAS buddies, who
always like a fight. And you, if
you want?
LEITER
I think I’ve got some vacation time
coming up.
MALLORY
(smiling)
That’s Bond’s usual excuse.
BOND
You’re learning the game fast.
Bond reaches into a small fridge and pulls out an expensive
bottle of French white wine.
MADELEINE
(angry)
Is everything a game to you? Is
that all it ever was to you?
Tanner, Villiers, Kimura, did they
just play badly?
BOND
You know what I did for a living.
Your father did it too.
MADELEINE
But, Papa, was a poor Corsican. His
rough childhood led him into the
world of killers and liars. How did
you, a privileged Englishman, end
up an assassin?
BOND
(loudly)
Well, I’m not one anymore, am I.
MADELEINE
Yet, you’re happy to blow up a
building full of people for one
man. How cold does this armor you
wear have to be, to do that? No
feelings for all those dead people
at the exchange, nothing for
Villiers, and you, executed,
Kimura.
(beat)
I’m a trained psychologist, I know
what I see.
Bond rolls his eyes, cuts off a piece of fish and eats it
with some asparagus.
BOND
(while eating)
We have to survive this.
MADELEINE
Will we?
Madeleine and Bond stare at each other.
BOND
Drink your wine, you’ll feel
better.
MADELEINE
We’ve got so much to talk about and
all you think about is drink.
70.
CONTINUED: (3)
BOND (O.S.)
Comms OK.
Madeleine sweeps the rifle to and fro looking for Bond. He
comes into view through Madeleine’s infra-red scope, walking
across the warehouse grounds.
BOND (CONT’D)
(To Hinx)
Not dead then.
Hinx has only an expression of hatred.
BOND (CONT’D)
(Loudly)
I’m still waiting, Blofeld.
Blofeld takes a step forward, his face visible but much of
his body in shadow.
BLOFELD
And my canisters?
BOND
Nearby.
Bond raises his left hand to show the detonator remote
control with the dead-hand switch.
BOND (CONT’D)
I drop this, they go boom.
BLOFELD
Here she is.
On Blofeld’s right hand side, Moneypenny steps out of the
shadows.
Bond raises his right hand and drops it suddenly.
The bodyguards instinctively reach for their weapons.
BLOFELD (CONT’D)
You’re expecting something? In our
world, the only certainty is
uncertainty.
Bunt speaks into her radio.
BUNT
Do you have her?
COMMANDO (O.S.)
Yes, we’re on our way.
Bond clenches his jaw, hiding his surprise.
BLOFELD
Not as far as we were led to
believe, James. Bringing your wife
on such a trip, how ungentlemanly
of you.
Bond launches the remote control detonator at Blofeld, it
flies through his body and Moneypenny’s. Bond is incredulous.
Hinx leaps forward and grabs Bond, they wrestle on the spot
and Hinx’s great strength gets the better of Bond.
76.
CONTINUED: (2)
BOND
(straining against his
ropes)
But, you’re not here, are you. Come
here, come and see us, you coward.
BLOFELD
Let me introduce my colleague, Frau
Bunt. She will have the pleasure of
your torture.
BUNT
My name is Irma Bunt.
BOND
Not for long.
BUNT
I’ve been told about your
witticisms.
BOND
And my long history of killing
henchmen?
BUNT
I’m a woman.
BOND
It won’t make any difference.
BUNT
Oh, but I can make you like a
woman, Mister Bond.
Bunt holds up a scalpel from the trolley of nasty looking
instruments.
BOND
Is that supposed to scare me?
BUNT
Strip him.
Hinx tears Bond’s black polo neck off of his torso.
BLOFELD
Start with Madeleine. Physically
hurting James is not enough.
BOND
You’ll get nothing from me.
BLOFELD
Who said I wanted anything from
you? What, and I think Frau Bunt
agrees, we want, is to see you in
pain. Deep, psychological pain.
Torment.
78.
CONTINUED: (4)
Bunt grabs Madeleine and yanks her head back, Madeleine cries
out, Bunt puts the scalpel to her throat.
BLOFELD (CONT’D)
Too quick, dear Irma. Try the
pliers.
(To Bond)
Frau Bunt, has a particular hatred
for you, James. You’ve killed many
friends of hers.
Bunt drops the scalpel and picks up the pliers. One of the
bodyguards grips Madeleine’s head, she struggles. Bond sees
the fear welling up in Madeleine’s eyes.
Bunt is forcing Madeleine’s mouth open, Madeleine resists,
clamping shut her teeth. Bunt holds Madeleine’s nose to force
her to open her mouth. Bond looks on, angered, frustrated, he
struggles against his bonds.
BLOFELD (CONT’D)
Let’s not ruin my dear Madeleine’s
smile too quickly, pull a premolar
first.
Bunt forces her pliers deeper into Madeleine’s mouth. With
the pliers in her mouth, Madeleine mumbles a cry, struggling,
her legs kicking. Bunt and two of the bodyguards are having a
hard time keeping Madeleine down. Bond strains against his
bonds, ready to burst from the chair.
BOND
Stop this, Blofeld!
BLOFELD
Or what? You’re going to watch her
slow death.
Bunt grips a tooth with the pliers and is violently pulling,
Madeleine is shrieking, kicking.
BOND
BUNT!
Bunt continues to pull, Madeleine screams a muffled scream.
Bond fights against his bonds.
BOND (CONT’D)
Bunt, you’re so dead, I’ll kill
you!
Hinx punches Bond in the face.
Bunt yanks out the tooth. Madeleine cries out, slumps in her
chair, sobbing. Bunt looks surprised she has the tooth in the
teeth of her pliers. Blood drips. She puts the pliers on the
rusty trolley.
79.
CONTINUED: (5)
BOND (CONT’D)
(Bleeding from his lip)
Madeleine, look at me Madeleine. I
love you Madeleine, I always will.
Madeleine is sobbing.
BLOFELD
Such a touching scene. Out of
brutality, fragility and tormented
love.
Madeleine sobs, her head bowed, embarrassed and in pain.
The holographic Blofelds hold up their cell phones and the
three holograms disappear.
Q
Yes. She’s now at an old Skyfleet
aircraft factory not far from the
exchange coordinates. Records say
it’s been abandoned for years, but
who knows?
LEITER (O.S.)
Blofeld’s base?
Q
I would imagine so.
MALLORY (O.S.)
Thanks Q, we’re going there. Over
and out.
MADELEINE (CONT’D)
We were, tied up. Tortured. I can’t
believe. The evil.
Moneypenny puts her arm round her crying friend.
MONEYPENNY
(disturbed by the pain she
sees)
Oh, I can.
MADELEINE
(recovering her composure)
But, what about you, we thought
Blofeld had killed you.
MONEYPENNY
(trembling)
He’s tried his best. This.
An emotional Moneypenny rolls up her sleeve and shows the
injection scars.
MONEYPENNY (CONT’D)
And some weird interrogation
machine.
(beat)
He didn’t break me.
(tearful)
I told them nothing.
MADELEINE
No, I mean, he gave us a double, a
woman they’d made to look like you.
She died.
MONEYPENNY
(visibly shocked)
Now I understand what Blofeld said.
If you’re with James, what’s
happened back in London.
Madeleine pauses, her face a picture of trepidation.
MONEYPENNY (CONT’D)
What’s wrong, Madeleine.
MADELEINE
I last saw Q in hospital, and.
MONEYPENNY
In hospital? And what?
MADELEINE
Tanner died on Tower bridge.
Tears well up in Moneypenny’s eyes, she fights to regain her
composure.
88.
CONTINUED: (2)
MONEYPENNY
Tanner? I can’t believe it.
MADELEINE
I have explosives.
MONEYPENNY
We’ll blow this place to Kingdom
come. Follow me.
BOND
Lead the way.
MONEYPENNY
The Northolt Royal Air Force base
in London?
BOND
(slightly embarrassed)
Sure. Of, course.
MADELEINE
What was that factory?
BOND
Where they made Blofeld’s huge
drones. They were to spread
chemicals high in the atmosphere,
but now they’re just burning
wreckage.
MONEYPENNY
Why spread chemicals?
BOND
Blofeld boasted to me that it would
cause worldwide weather chaos from
which he expected to profit. It’s
called geo-engineering.
MADELEINE
How can there be such evil in the
world?
MONEYPENNY
(Looking around the
cockpit)
Does this jet have satellite
communications?
BOND
Not that I can see.
Bond looks concerned.
MONEYPENNY
It’s got radio. When we’re in range
of London I’ll call the Ministry of
Defence, just in case anything did
leave the factory. NATO will be
able to knock them out of the sky.
Bond looks away, out of the cockpit window, his face a
picture of anger.
LEITER
Bond!
BOND
Felix!
The two men shake hands. Through the smoke, Mallory appears.
MALLORY
Good to see you again, Bond.
Bond and Mallory shake hands.
BOND
And you, M. Draven is dead.
MALLORY
And so is Lord Mosley. And perhaps
with him, this whole technology
obsessed MI-5, MI-6 merger. Where’s
Madeleine?
BOND
She can’t be far.
Explosions can be heard around the factory.
BOND (CONT’D)
I think it’s all her handiwork, she
had the detonators.
MALLORY
After Mosley died, Q got in touch.
He told us Madeleine was here,
that’s why we came.
BOND
The smart blood.
MALLORY
Quite. So Q will know where she is
now.
More, louder, explosions shake the roof above them, debris
crashes to the floor.
LEITER
We need to get out of here!
The group of men turn and disappear into the smoke filled
corridors back to the runway, more explosions echo through
the factory.
BOND
Sure.
Bond follows Madeleine into the cabin, closing the cockpit
door behind him.
MADELEINE
We’re going home tomorrow, yes?
BOND
Blofeld had our house destroyed.
MADELEINE
What?! This mission was supposed to
free us!
BOND
We should stay in London for now.
MADELEINE
I know I don’t want to live in
London. You’ve got to decide what
you want.
BOND
We‘ll only stay while MI-6 helps
us.
Madeleine angrily crosses her arms, unconvinced by his
answer.
MADELEINE
And my family, my mother?
BOND
In a few days, you’ll never need to
worry about any of this ever again,
trust me.
BOND
(To Mallory)
Did you know Villiers didn’t make
it?
MALLORY
The local authorities told us.
We’ve paid too high a price, Bond.
Tanner, Villiers, and Moneypenny.
BOND
Moneypenny is alive.
MALLORY
What?!
BOND
You were given a double. You didn’t
do a DNA check?
MALLORY
Mosley ordered the body be released
to her family, in accordance with
Caribbean tradition. Where could
the real Moneypenny be now?
BOND
It’s possible she’s with Madeleine.
Blofeld claimed Moneypenny was at
the factory.
Q (O.S.)
This is London.
LEITER
Q, it’s Felix, can you tell us
where Madeleine is?
Q (O.S.)
She must be on a plane, she’s
travelling at hundreds of miles an
hour at altitude.
BOND
Good girl, she must be in a Spectre
jet.
LEITER
Her heading?
Q (O.S.)
I’d say, England.
Bond and Felix grin at each other and shake hands in
celebration.
BOND
Q, this is Bond.
98.
CONTINUED: (2)
VOGEL
I have to report also, our MI-6
project has become more
complicated. Moneypenny and our
Bond escaped together as planned,
but Madeleine is with them.
BLOFELD
And James may have escaped.
Complications indeed. I sent Frau
Bunt to London as an insurance
policy. Instruct her to kill
Madeleine. Bond will no doubt find
his way back to his wife. Bunt can
eliminate them both.
The sound of a helicopter grows louder.
RAF OFFICER
(aggrieved)
This is highly unusual, your the
second mystery jet we’ve had
tonight. Identification papers,
please.
MALLORY
(showing his
identification)
Lieutenant Colonel Gareth Mallory,
I’ve been assisting Lord Mosley.
RAF OFFICER
Ah, yes, Sir. We haven’t heard from
Lord Mosley, he was supposed to be
landing back by now.
LEITER
Mosley’s dead.
RAF OFFICER
Good God.
MALLORY
You said we’re the second aircraft?
RAF OFFICER
Yes, we let them go not so long
ago. A Foreign Office diplomat, Eve
Moneypenny, and her two colleagues,
a French lady, and a man.
MALLORY
Thank goodness, Moneypenny’s alive.
Bond and the wounded SAS soldiers reach the small group.
LEITER
And the man?
RAF OFFICER
Yes.
(looks at clipboard)
Miss Moneypenny vouched for him.
One, James, Bond.
In a lightning fast move Mallory pulls his pistol and points
it aggressively at Bond’s head.
MALLORY
Are you a double?!
The armed RAF guards react instinctively and raise their
weapons towards Mallory. Everyone else freezes.
BOND
(sarcastically)
What do you think?
101.
CONTINUED: (2)
MALLORY
What was your reply when I asked
you why you were in Mexico when
Mister White was killed?
BOND
It was Marco Sciarra I killed. And
I said I was just taking some
overdue holiday and that it was a
coincidence, which was a total lie.
MALLORY
True.
Visibly relieved, Mallory holsters his pistol. The RAF armed
guards relax.
LEITER
Well I’m glad that’s over, that was
a bit too intense for me.
RAF OFFICER
And me.
MALLORY
Officer, we need to use your phone.
MONEYPENNY (CONT’D)
(To self)
Typical, the battery’s dead.
(To Madeleine)
In the morning, we can start
helping you get back to your quiet
new life.
MADELEINE
Thanks, Eve.
MONEYPENNY (O.S.)
(muffled by the door)
I think there’s usually football on
tonight James, if you want to watch
that.
MADELEINE
Whose world, James? I can’t live in
the shadows. My father chose to
walk away, and now I understand
him. And you.
BOND
You need my protection. Blofeld is
still out there.
MADELEINE
Don’t follow me. Please. If we’re
not together, Blofeld won’t care
about me.
Madeleine takes off her wedding band and engagement ring and
throws them at Bond, who catches them.
MADELEINE (CONT’D)
(walking backwards)
It’s over, James. It’s over. Far
from you, me, my mother, my family,
we’ll be safe.
(beat)
Adieu.
Madeleine turns and runs away, Bond watches, expressionless.
He walks slowly back to Moneypenny’s apartment block.
FADE TO BLACK:
MALLORY (CONT’D)
Ah, Bond, you’re here. Late as
usual.
BOND
Moneypenny.
MONEYPENNY
James, you’re just in time to hear
the good news.
BOND
Are you called M again, M?
MALLORY
Abso - bloody - lutely. And I’ve
appointed Moneypenny my chief of
staff and head of operations, a new
position.
BOND
Congratulations, Moneypenny, a well
deserved promotion.
MONEYPENNY
Thank you, James.
MALLORY
So. Bond. I’m rebuilding the double-
o section. Are you definitely
coming back?
BOND
Are we going after Spectre?
MALLORY
It’s our top priority.
BOND
Permission to come aboard.
MALLORY
Permission granted. As my first
appointment to the new double-o
section, Bond, your code name will
be double-o one.
BOND
One, Sir?
MALLORY
Well, you’re the first of the new
team, Bond. You don’t like it?
BOND
I’ve always liked the number seven,
Sir.
108.
CONTINUED: (3)
MALLORY
Ah, well, 007 it is then. 007. And
from now on, for the day-to-day run-
of-the-mill things, you’ll report
to Moneypenny.
Bond is surprised.
BOND
Yes, Sir.
(To Moneypenny)
Ma’am.
MONEYPENNY
(smiling)
007.
Mallory’s office door opens again, Felix Leiter enters.
MALLORY
Ah, Felix. I asked them to send you
up.
LEITER
How is everybody? James?
MONEYPENNY
He’s 007 again.
LEITER
And all is right in the heavens. I
also have some good news.
Moneypenny and Mallory are all smiles as if they know
something.
BOND
Go on.
LEITER
If you’re interested. 007. We know
where Blofeld will be two days from
now.
BOND
I’m interested.
BOND
I forgot to ask, why is Blofeld now
the enemy of the United States of
America?
LEITER
Officially, he always was.
Unofficially, some of the
President’s supporters got schemed
with Blofeld’s geo-engineering
drone con.
BOND
Money makes the world go round.
LEITER
We’ll be at the harbor in a minute.
Special forces command want us to
fly over and confirm the sighting.
Then they do the rest.
BOND
Sounds too easy.
BLOFELD (CONT’D)
(barely heard above the
engines)
You’d be living an idyllic life.
Bond takes careful aim.
BLOFELD (CONT’D)
No! I’m not, I’m not!
From a cockpit entrance the white tiger leaps at Blofeld.
Bond instinctively steps back. Schnee lands on Blofeld, his
screams end quickly as Schnee crushes her master’s neck. The
pilot tries to run, Bond shoots him dead. The pilot
collapses across the flight controls. The flying boat
violently pitches up, Bond is thrown against the windscreen.
LEITER
What?! Blofeld was mauled to death
by his own big cat?
BOND
Yes. The one thing he thought that
loved him, killed him.
LEITER
We’ll get the Marines to rescue
that poor animal.
Bond pondered.
BLOFELD (V.O.)
You love me don't you Schnee. You'd
never hurt your Vater.
BOND
Felix.
LEITER
Yes, James.
BOND
Did the tiger kill the real
Blofeld?
The two men look at each other, uncertainty written across
their faces.
In the distance, the whopping sounds of a US Marine Corps
helicopter can be heard.
- THE END -
