BUNT
Check your weapons!
A tall imposing woman, IRMA BUNT, walks through the cramped
cabin between the heavily armed commandos she leads and stops
at the side-door gunner.
BUNT (CONT’D)
All opposition must be eliminated.

London.

INT. ARMORED PRISON TRUCK - DAY


ERNST STAVRO BLOFELD sits in the truck in chains.
GARETH MALLORY and his former chief of staff, TANNER, are
standing by its rear double doors, next to OFFICER WILLIAMS,
MI-6 security guard.
MALLORY
Looking forward to your new maximum
security jail, Blofeld?
BLOFELD
(hateful)
And how’s your life, my dear
Lieutenant Colonel Gareth Mallory?
Reduced to accompanying me with
private security. Not even M
anymore, just a common soldier.
TANNER
And you’re a very long-term
prisoner of Her Majesty’s
government, Blofeld, or whatever
you’re calling yourself these days.
BLOFELD
It is Mister Ernst Stavro Blofeld,
to the likes of you, Mister Tanner.
An ex-chief of staff to an ex-M.
2.
CONTINUED:

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.

EXT. HER MAJESTY’S PRISON BELMARSH COURTYARD - DAY


Tanner and Mallory walk to their car, the courtyard’s gates
are opening and the convoy of armored trucks, MI-6 security
cars, private security trucks and police vehicles are slowly
starting to depart.
TANNER
Is that all Blofeld has, Sir, glee
over the double-o section’s demise?
MALLORY
He’ll spend the rest of his life in
this new prison, Tanner. So, let’s
get him there.

What a day for Bond and Madeleine
to get married.
MALLORY
Quite.

That doesn’t look good.
TANNER
No, Sir. I’ll call it in.

him peering intently over his shoulder.
Q
There, I’ve fixed it.
MONEYPENNY
I wish you hadn’t, I actually have
to finish my budget report now.
Q
And I.T. support is all I seem to
be good for these days.
Q’s cell phone rings.
Q (CONT’D)
Tanner. Yes, yes. OK, we’ll catch
you up.
MONEYPENNY
They need us? Today?
4.
CONTINUED:

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 (CONT’D)
Mallory, and his people, will
suffer, truly suffer, for my
incarceration.

INT. A CHURCH - DAY


Bond stands confidently before the grand alter, an old priest
in attendance. Behind them, the chatting guests take up half
the pews, but fill the church with noise. Their chatter is
suddenly drowned out by the church bells, ringing for the
bride’s imminent arrival. Bond smiles.

EXT. TOWER BRIDGE - DAY


At Tower bridge’s north end, the helicopter descends to
street level and from its side-door the gunner sprays the
oncoming convoy. The outriders are struck down and leading
vehicles smash into each other as their drivers are maimed
and killed.
From the hovering helicopter, male and female commandos and
Irma Bunt jump the last two feet to the ground, then the
helicopter ascends. Bunt, her commandos, and suddenly the
convoy’s own private security guards, open up on the
vehicles, cutting down police and CIS security.
The helicopter hovers above strafing vehicles which explode,
surviving police and CIS staff fire back, taking up defensive
positions behind the few cars and trucks that have not become
blazing wrecks.

EXT. MALLORY AND TANNER’S CAR - DAY


At the rear of the convoy, private security blast Mallory and
Tanner’s car.
TANNER (O.S.)
Good God! They’re Blofeld’s men!
Tanner and Mallory leap from their car to take cover.

EXT. A CHURCH - DAY

wishers greet Madeleine as she gracefully exits the car and
meets the priest who takes her arm and walks her into the
church.

Tanner. Q and Moneypenny and her heavily armed security team
rush to reach the two embattled MI-6 veterans.
MONEYPENNY
What’s the situation, Sir?
MALLORY
The helicopter’s gunner is giving
us hell, but our men and women are
fighting back. Blofeld is stuck on
the bridge.
Q
We can knock out the gunship, Sir.
(into his cell phone)
Standby drone control for
permission to fire. The target is
above Tower Bridge.
7.

INT. TOWER BRIDGE CONTROL ROOM - DAY


Commandos burst into the bridge control room, the staff cower
behind their desks.
COMMANDO #1
Raise the bridge.
The terrified controller turns to the control deck, alarms
can be heard coming from the bridge.

EXT. TOWER BRIDGE SOUTH SIDE - DAY


The bridge’s two halves start to rise, vehicles and dead
bodies begin to roll and slide. Moneypenny grabs a security
outrider’s motorbike and guns the engine, racing towards the
rising bridge. Mallory, Q and Tanner watch as Moneypenny
leaps off the end of the rising bridge. The three men
scramble to the sidewalk railing as vehicles and bodies slide
towards and past them.

EXT. TOWER BRIDGE NORTH END - DAY


Vehicles, bodies, private security staff, CIS security and
commandos tumble and crash. Blofeld’s armored van tips and
falls on its side as the bridge section is fully raised.

INT. BLOFELD’S ARMORED PRISON VEHICLE - DAY


Blofeld and Hinx adjust their clothing after their fall
inside the sliding, toppling vehicle. Officer Williams grins
at their upset.
BLOFELD
(into his radio)
Frau Bunt, what is happening!?
BUNT (O.S.)
We are almost with you.
Gunfire can be heard. Blofeld glares triumphantly at a
grimacing Officer Williams.

INT. CHURCH - DAY


The church gathering sings a hymn and Bond and Madeleine
kneel down before the priest.

EXT. HELICOPTER - DAY


The helicopter’s strange antenna is pulsing, sending out
feint cones of microwave energy.

EXT. ABOVE THE THAMES - DAY


The microwave energy passes over the missiles and then the
attack drones. The missiles go awry, some explode against
nearby buildings. The drones whirl into each other, firing
their missiles, guns blazing.

EXT. TOWER BRIDGE SOUTH SIDE - DAY


Moneypenny’s security team are struck down by the exploding
missiles’ shrapnel and drone bullets raking the bridge’s
south end. Trying to get to cover, Tanner cries out and
collapses, Q runs to his aid, but is cut down by more drone
bullets. Mallory dashes over to his colleagues.

EXT. BLOFELD’S ARMORED PRISON VEHICLE - DAY


Bunt’s commandos kill the last of the CIS security. Bunt raps
her knuckles on the truck door. The door is opened by Hinx
and Bunt steps in, bullet proof vest and helmet in hand.

EXT. TOWER BRIDGE SOUTH END - DAY


Mallory tries desperately to resuscitate Q’s body with CPR,
in the background Tanner’s bloodied body writhes in agony.

INT. BLOFELD’S ARMORED PRISON VEHICLE - DAY


Blofeld and Bunt stand facing each other, the huge hulk of
Hinx watches, commandos stand around them. Bunt respectfully
places the bullet proof vest on Blofeld as if it was an
investiture and hands him the helmet. Blofeld puts it on.
BUNT
And the most important piece.
Bunt holds up Blofeld’s ring with the Octopus logo. Hinx
grins. Blofeld raises his right hand. Bunt puts the ring on
Blofeld’s middle finger. Bunt, Hinx and the commandos gently
clap in celebration. Blofeld glares at Officer Williams.
9.
CONTINUED:

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?

INT. CHURCH - DAY


The priest blesses an emotional Madeleine and Bond.

EXT. TOWER BRIDGE - DAY


Bunt, Hinx and Blofeld exit the truck and stare into the
barrel of Moneypenny’s pistol.
Crawling out from behind wrecked cars, a sole female
commando, wounded, bleeding, staggers forward, unseen by
Moneypenny.
MONEYPENNY
Under the Special Measures Act of
2001, I am detaining you all on
behalf of Her Majesty's government.
The commando clubs Moneypenny with the butt of her pistol.
Moneypenny collapses to the floor.
BLOFELD
Mallory should be dead at my feet,
but she is enough. Hinx, bring her.
Hinx lifts Moneypenny’s unconscious body.

INT. CHURCH - DAY


The priest gives Madeleine the sacrament, passing her the
chalice of red wine from which Madeleine sips. A tiny red
drop splashes on her white dress.

EXT. TOWER BRIDGE SOUTH END - DAY


Mallory cradles Tanner, covered in his blood.
TANNER
(painfully)
Sir.
MALLORY
Save your strength, Tanner.
10.
CONTINUED:

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.

EXT. HOTEL CONCOURSE/SAINT KATHERINE’S PIER - DAY


Blofeld’s entourage arrives at the hotel concourse where the
helicopter has landed. From the murky waters of the river
Thames, a submarine breaks the surface and its hatch opens.
Blofeld climbs aboard the submarine, helped by Hinx who
follows with Moneypenny slung over his shoulder. Bunt, the
remaining commandos and private security staff board the
helicopter and it lifts off into the sky. The submarine dives
into the Thames.

EXT. TOWER BRIDGE SOUTH END - DAY


Mallory gently closes Tanner’s eyes and respectfully lays his
ex-chief of staff down. Mallory stands up and stares at the
departing helicopter, only vengeance on his mind.

EXT. CHURCH - DAY


Mister and Mrs James Bond emerge triumphant from the ancient
church. They are showered in confetti by the throng of
excited well wishers and guests outside. Confetti floats
toward and down into the inky blackness of a nearby drain.

MAIN TITLES.

EXT. A HOUSE - DAY


An old house sits amidst a wilderness.

EXT. GARDEN - MORNING


Madeleine stands in a large vegetable garden, trowel in hand,
looking out to the horizon. A lone male figure can be seen
running through a forest tree line. It is Bond and he is
making his way back. Madeleine carries on digging her garden.
11.
CONTINUED:

Bond comes to a stop just before the muddy vegetable patch, a


smiling Madeleine strolls up to her panting husband.
MADELEINE
New personal best?
Bond greets his wife with a passionate kiss.
BOND
(smiling)
Yes.
Bond throws his arms around Madeleine.
MADELEINE
(giggling)
Get off me, sweaty man!
Bond kisses Madeleine.
BOND
No one can see us, out here in the
back of beyond.
MADELEINE
You’re a bad, bad man.
BOND
And you’re a, dutiful, married,
respectable, woman.
MADELEINE
Married to you!
BOND
Well, yes, that is one key
difference to my past conquests.
They embrace and kiss passionately.
MADELEINE
And now you can wash and put away
the plate and cutlery you used for
breakfast.
Bond turns away, crossing his arms.
MADELEINE (CONT’D)
(playfully)
Do I hear a sorry? You’ve been on
your own too long. You’re with me
now.
BOND
I know.
12.

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?
13.
CONTINUED:

Bond picks up his axe.


BOND
One of your relatives?
Madeleine shrugs her shoulders. They walk towards the house
and the sound of the car.

EXT. DRIVEWAY - DAY


Bond and Madeleine reach the front of the house as the car
comes to a stop. The driver’s door opens, Mallory steps out.
BOND
M!
MADELEINE
Bonjour, M. Whatever are you doing
here?
MALLORY
Good morning, Madeleine.
Mallory sees the axe.
MALLORY (CONT’D)
(To Bond)
I know you’re far from civilization
out here, but I hope that’s not for
me.
BOND
(humourously)
Our new life, in the back of
beyond.
MALLORY
Tell me more, James.

INT. HOUSE - DAY


Mallory, Madeleine and Bond walk INTO THE HOUSE.
MALLORY
No phone, no internet, how do you
live?
BOND
Very well thanks.
Bare chested Bond grabs a T-shirt off the back of a chair and
puts it on.
MADELEINE
Would you like something to eat?
MALLORY
I don’t feel like eating.
14.
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.

EXT. GARDEN - LATE AFTERNOON


Mallory, Bond and Madeleine sit around a patio dining table,
a pitcher of something cold in the middle.
MALLORY
And Q almost died, I had to revive
him and he’s still in hospital.
He’s healing well, but it will be a
while before he’s back on full-time
duty.
Bond and Madeleine sit silently hearing Mallory’s traumatic
story.
MALLORY (CONT’D)
And after all that, now there is
this.
Mallory puts a small tablet computer on the table, activating
a video as he does so.
MALLORY (CONT’D)
We received it 24 hours ago.
Madeleine and Bond lean forward, uncertain of what they are
about to watch.
BLOFELD (O.S.)
If you want Eve Moneypenny back,
the list of chemicals shown at the
bottom of the screen must be
provided in their exact quantities
and delivered to these specific
coordinates.
Bond and Madeleine look into infinity, as they absorb the
strange ransom request. Bond focuses on Mallory.
BOND
Why these chemicals?
15.
CONTINUED:

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.
16.
CONTINUED: (2)

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.

INT. HOUSE - EVENING


Bond and Madeleine silently watch Mallory’s car drive away.
MADELEINE
(troubled)
A penny for your thoughts.
Madeleine takes Bond’s hand and gently squeezes it. He’s
impassive.
MADELEINE (CONT’D)
So, you want to go?
BOND
That world, Blofeld’s, was also
your father’s world.
MADELEINE
Until I met you, I had been running
from it all my life. I thought we’d
both finally left that all behind.
BOND
So did I.
MADELEINE
It’s not going to go away, is it.
Bond’s fists clench, his face hardens.
BOND
Not unless I do something about it.
Madeleine’s hand pushes Bond’s face to meet her’s.
MADELEINE
We do something.
BOND
You don’t have to go.
MADELEINE
I can’t sit here alone. I have to
end this too. My own name, Swann,
is fake, my family is a mystery to
me because of them.
(beat)
(MORE)
17.
CONTINUED:
MADELEINE (CONT'D)
After it’s all over, that’s it,
yes?
Madeleine searches Bond’s eyes for the truth.
BOND
I’m not going back for good. This
is a last time, for us.
Bond and Madeleine embrace and kiss deeply.

EXT. A HOTEL - EVENING


Dragging his one piece of wheel-on flight luggage, a
depressed Mallory exits the hotel and hands his chit to the
valet.
MADELEINE (O.S.)
Bonjour M.
Mallory turns in surprise.
MALLORY
Madeleine. James!

INT. A SMALL WHITE TILED ROOM - DAY


Moneypenny’s eyes flutter partially open, the bright light of
the medical room fills her vision.
DISTANT VOICE (O.S.)
Ah! She’s waking!
A lone male blurred figure standing before Moneypenny comes
into focus, he’s holding a white cat in his arms.
BLOFELD
Welcome back. How do you feel?
Moneypenny realizes that she is sat upright in a cold metal
chair, her wrists shackled to the armrests.
MONEYPENNY
I feel like killing you, Blofeld.
Moneypenny strains against her restraints, lunging towards
Blofeld.
BLOFELD
A precaution against such feelings.
Please, don’t try to escape again,
you are on our island. Frau Bunt
tells me she has several men who
will never work again.
Moneypenny smiles.
18.
CONTINUED:

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.
CONTINUED: (2)

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.
20.
CONTINUED: (3)

From above her, a chandelier like device with many small


colored lights descends and moves closer, threateningly.
BLOFELD (O.S.)
(A booming echo of a
voice)
Are we sitting comfortably? I will
tell you what to do. I will you
tell you how.
The chandelier device begins to spin and its multi-colored
lights bathe the room while a deep throbbing sound from
hidden speakers gets louder and louder. Moneypenny struggles
against her shackles as the sounds and light become more and
more intense.
BLOFELD (O.S.) (CONT’D)
It must be our secret, yours and
mine. Our secret.

INT. CONTROL ROOM - DAY


Between Blofeld and the controller, Moneypenny can be seen
writhing against her constraints under the bombardment of the
throbbing sound and searing lights.
BLOFELD
And after you've done what I teach
you, you'll forget it forever. I
will tell you what to do. I will
tell you when.
Moneypenny convulses and screams in agony from the intense
sound and lights.

INT. HOSPITAL ROOM - DAY


Q lays in bed, his upper body slightly raised, equipment
monitors his vitals while he watches a flat panel television,
listening through headphones. In walks Bond and Madeleine.
BOND
Lying down on the job again, Q?
Q, startled, pulls off his headphones.
Q
Bond! Madeleine!
BOND
Don’t get up on our account.
Q
Same old singular wit I see. Hello
Madeleine, lovely to meet you
again.
21.
CONTINUED:

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.

INT. LORD MOSLEY’S OFFICE - DAY


LORD MOSLEY is a dignified looking man in his sixties, grey-
haired, an air of superiority that comes with his noble
background.
LORD MOSLEY
Her Majesty has given her assent to
Operation Vengeance.
MALLORY
Excellent news, Sir.
22.
CONTINUED:

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.

INT. MI-6 CHAPEL, WHITEHALL


Bond, Madeleine and Mallory are standing in front of a
portrait of Tanner that sits on an easel beside the altar.
MALLORY
I wish Q had allowed me to explain
things first.
BOND
What the hell is going on, Mosley
lost Blofeld and it’s his drones
that don’t work?
MALLORY
Lord Mosley is untouchable, he has
been a close ally of the Prime
Minister for years. He’s been a
vocal supporter of the PM’s big
idea, Global Trading Britain.
MADELEINE
So he wants Blofeld and his anti-
drone technology neutralized.
23.
CONTINUED:

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.

INT. AMERICAN STYLE DINER - EVENING


Bond steps into the largely empty diner, a dishevelled
Central Intelligence Agency agent FELIX LEITER is sat alone
at the bar eating dinner. A beautiful waitress is preparing a
plate of food at the end of the bar.
24.
CONTINUED:

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.

EXT. MILITARY TRANSPORT PLANE - NIGHT


A military transport plane’s engines fill the air with the
huge noise of its propellers.
Pallets of special containers with chemical warning symbols
on their sides occupy the centre of the aircraft.
The special forces soldiers and Madeleine are taking their
seats that run along the side of the plane. All are dressed
in combat fatigues. DRAVEN boards the aircraft, physically he
is the equal of Bond.
DRAVEN
Doctor Swann, I’m leading this
mission, I’m Draven. Mallory’s file
about you says very little, what’s
your background?
MADELEINE
I’ve worked in war zones, charity
medical relief for civilians.
DRAVEN
I hope that will be enough. We’re
flying into ungoverned territory,
utterly lawless borderlands. Do you
have your phablet?
Draven pulls out what looks like a cell phone with a much
larger touch screen. Madeleine pulls out her phablet and
smiles.
MADELEINE
Patricia explained it all to me.
DRAVEN
Good, it has data to help you. Stay
close to my retrieval team when the
exchange begins.
Draven walks away to take his seat. Madeleine looks to her
left. An SAS sniper with a large ginger beard sits next to
Madeleine with his long sniper rifle, it’s Bond in disguise.
BOND
So, that’s Draven.
26.
CONTINUED:

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.

EXT. ROYAL AIR FORCE BASE NORTHOLT - NIGHT


The military transport plane takes off and flies into the
cloudy, starless night.
27.

INT. MILITARY TRANSPORT PLANE COCKPIT - NIGHT


DRAVEN
What does the landing strip look
like?
The pilots are wearing night vision goggles and they stare
out at the landscape ahead scanning for signs of danger.
PILOT
It will do. We have detected GPS
jamming, as expected.
DRAVEN
(smiling)
But, that won’t help them.

INT. MILITARY TRANSPORT PLANE - NIGHT


Draven enters the cabin from the cockpit.
DRAVEN
Check your weapons! Snipers! When
we land the side door will be
opened, you’ll exit and go to your
assigned locations. Stay silent on
comms. If you spot Blofeld, kill
him.
Madeleine watches Bond checking his weapon, she bites her
bottom lip.

EXT. LANDING STRIP - NIGHT


The military transport plane lands on the grass air strip,
its cabin interior red light shining forth as the side door
is opened and two figures jump from the rolling aircraft.
The snipers tumble and then sprint off in different
directions.

EXT. EXCHANGE AREA - NIGHT


The military transport plane comes to a stop and lowers its
rear door ramp, red light shining forth illuminating the
exchange area. Draven and his soldiers descend the ramp.
Behind them a powered pallet truck is carrying the chemical
containers. The pallet truck driver places the chemicals on
the ground and returns to the ramp.

EXT. BOND - NIGHT


Bond lies in the grass his night vision scope trained on the
exchange. He sees Spectre commandos walking forward and
Draven’s pallet truck delivering more containers.
28.
CONTINUED:

A bespectacled man, a chemist, steps up to some of the


containers and waves a small electronic nose over them,
smelling the chemical contents for verification. From the
shadows the huge shape of Hinx emerges.
BOND
Not so dead, after all.

EXT. EXCHANGE AREA - NIGHT


A light on the electronic nose turns green and the
bespectacled chemist nods to his commandos. Hinx waves to
persons beyond the lit area. Out of the darkness come
forklifts. They lift the pallets and disappear into the
darkness.
Hinx and commandos slowly exit the illuminated area watching
Draven’s men carefully. A weak Moneypenny emerges into the
exchange zone, stumbling, she trips and falls to the ground.
Madeleine and six of Draven’s men dash from the ramp with a
stretcher.
MADELEINE
Roll her on to it, gently.
Draven’s men unfold the stretcher, roll Moneypenny on to it,
Madeleine checks her pulse and fits an intravenous drip.
Madeleine notices Moneypenny's facial injuries.
MADELEINE (CONT’D)
(activating her throat
mike)
She’s stable, but, she’s, she’s
been tortured, her face, the wounds
are terrible.

EXT. BOND - NIGHT


Bond bristles upon hearing Madeleine’s words and cocks his
rifle.

EXT. MILITARY TRANSPORT PLANE RAMP - NIGHT


DRAVEN
(into his radio)
Exchange made.

INT. CIS SITUATION ROOM - DAY


Lord Mosley, Mallory and other CIS staff are listening
intently to the radio communications from the exchange.
LORD MOSLEY
Excellent Draven, get everyone out
of there.
29.
CONTINUED:

Q’s new boss, PATRICIA, a beautiful middle-aged woman, turns


from her computer monitor.
PATRICIA
Sir, the surveillance satellite is
being blinded!
LORD MOSLEY
How, Patricia?
PATRICIA
They must have a laser there to
blind our satellite’s cameras!
MALLORY
What do we do?
PATRICIA
The laser can be small, it could be
on any vehicle.
LORD MOSLEY
Draven! They have blinded our
satellite, attack now.
Mallory looks aghast at the knee jerk reaction.
MALLORY
No, not before Moneypenny is on the
aircraft!
LORD MOSLEY
I’m in charge, Mallory! Draven,
attack now!

EXT. EXCHANGE AREA


DRAVEN
Attack, attack, attack!
The silence of the exchange zone is shattered by gunfire from
Draven’s men, anti-tank missiles flying from the CIS
transport plane, vehicles exploding and Spectre commandos
firing back. Draven’s men rush forward guns blazing, hand-to-
hand combat with the commandos and Hinx ensues. It’s a war
zone.

EXT. BOND - NIGHT


Through Bond’s night vision scope he can see Madeleine and
two of Draven’s two men hurriedly carrying Moneypenny on a
litter towards the military transport plane as tracer rounds
of different hues zip past them. The other four Draven men
beside Moneypenny's stretcher fire back, desperately covering
the retreat to the aircraft.
BOND (O.S.)
You idiot, Draven!
30.

EXT. BOND - NIGHT


Bond shoots at the commandos, a miss, a hit, a kill, a
maiming, another miss.

EXT. EXCHANGE AREA - NIGHT


As Madeleine and Draven's six men race towards the transport
with Moneypenny, they are being cut down one by one by the
withering fire from the overwhelming counter-attacking
forces.

EXT. BOND - NIGHT


Through Bond’s night vision scope an armored vehicle appears,
its heavy calibre gun, manned by Hinx, fires on Draven’s men.
Bond shoots at Hinx, but his shots ricochet off the armored
vehicle. Bond can see rounds from the heavy calibre gun
striking the rear of the military transport plane, doing
damage. An explosion of white light obscures the Moneypenny
rescue team.

EXT. EXCHANGE AREA - NIGHT


In the wake of the explosion, Moneypenny and her escorts are
motionless on the ground, Moneypenny partially off the
stretcher. All but two of the men escorting Moneypenny are
dead. The injured survivors slowly recover, Madeleine lies
motionless to one side. The fighting continues around them.
Walther PPK in hand, Bond sprints out of the darkness, madly
shooting at the commandos, missing some, wounding others. Out
of bullets, he fights viciously hand-to-hand trying to reach
the motionless Madeleine.
The remaining two injured men abandon the stretcher, lifting
Moneypenny between them, limping forward, rounds zipping
past. They carry her the last few feet to the military
transport plane as Draven and the last of his soldiers
standing on the plane’s ramp fire back at the commandos.
Moneypenny and her two rescuers are hauled onto the ramp,
Draven barks orders into the aircraft’s intercom and it rolls
forward, accelerating. Draven’s soldiers sprint for the
moving aircraft, some make it, but many die from the armored
vehicle’s blazing gun.
Draven's men on the ramp fire rocket propelled grenades at
vehicles as their aircraft accelerates away into the night.
Several grenades strike the armored vehicle, a huge ball of
flame erupts. The military transport ascends noisily into the
sky.
What was a war zone is now silent, but for the crackle of
burning vehicles. Bond reaches Madeleine, he checks her
pulse, she's alive, Bond's face lights up. Madeleine stirs,
coming back to life.
31.
CONTINUED:

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.

INT. CIS BUILDING, SITUATION ROOM - DAY


LORD MOSLEY
Draven, report.
DRAVEN (O.S.)
We have Moneypenny.
Cheers go up in the situation room.
MALLORY
(To Mosley)
Good news!
LORD MOSLEY
Casualties?
DRAVEN
We lost most of our men including
both snipers.
For a moment, Mallory fears the worst.
MALLORY
And our field medic?
DRAVEN (O.S.)
Dead.
Mallory is silent, frozen in horror.
LORD MOSLEY
(To Draven)
We’ve got Moneypenny, Blofeld has
no leverage now. I can report that
to the PM. We’ll find Blofeld
another way. Good work, Draven.
32.
CONTINUED:

A despondent Mallory walks out of the celebratory situation


room.

EXT. EXCHANGE AREA - SUNRISE


Bond forces the tire back onto a vehicle. Its windscreen
smashed, its bodywork is riddled with bullet holes.
Madeleine is dragging some rucksacks behind her, dropping
them by the car they are clearly heavy. She looks across the
blackened battlefield.
MADELEINE
What about all the dead? There’s so
many.
BOND
Did you get it all?
MADELEINE
(angry)
Yes! I scavenged all the guns,
ammunition and explosives. What
about the dead?
BOND
And I’m finished here.
Bond leans into the car and the ignition starts.
MADELEINE
We can’t just leave them to rot!
BOND
What can we do for them?
MADELEINE
Don’t they at least deserve a
decent burial?
BOND
Did you find a shovel?
MADELEINE
No.
BOND
Unless you want to bury, what,
dozens with your bare hands, leave
them to the animals.
MADELEINE
That’s cold, James, really cold. I
don’t like that tone.
Bond is dumping the rucksacks of weapons into the car.
33.
CONTINUED:

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.

INT. MILITARY TRANSPORT PLANE CABIN - DAY


Moneypenny sits, slumped, between two of Draven’s wounded
men. Over the aircraft’s loud speaker, the pilot speaks.
PILOT (O.S.)
We’ll be landing in 20 minutes.
That’s 20 minutes before landing.
Moneypenny slowly awakes, but she begins coughing hard,
grabbing her throat as if in pain she suddenly starts
convulsing. The two men beside her try to help, Moneypenny
passes out and stops convulsing, they lay her on the deck
trying to resuscitate her.
Draven runs from his seat to the prone Moneypenny. Draven
looks down at Moneypenny, her eyes open and lifeless.

INT. Q’S LAB - DAY


Mallory walks in to a very empty Q branch. Q is in a
wheelchair amongst packing boxes and equipment strewn around,
some of it is working, some of it is disassembled and ready
for being put into storage.
MALLORY
Making progress, Q?
Q
As slowly as I am healing, Sir.
MALLORY
How’s the new boss, Patricia?
Q
She’s not my cup of tea.
MALLORY
Still, good to have you back, Q,
even if its light duty only.
Mallory looks everywhere except at Q.
Q
How did the mission go?
Q stares at Mallory, not sure what to expect.
35.
CONTINUED:

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!

INT. Q’S LAB/MEDICAL ROOM - DAY


Q is before a computer terminal and a large wall screen at
one end of a room littered with half-filled boxes of
equipment.
Q
And you gave your regimental doctor
the syringe I provided?
36.
CONTINUED:

Mallory and Q watch with hope the large screen as the


tracking system comes alive.
MALLORY
Yes. He didn’t like injecting
someone with a mystery solution,
but I am his commanding officer.
Q
With the smart blood we can track
Madeleine by satellite dead or
alive. Blofeld will no doubt know
this technology was officially
mothballed when the double-o
section was shutdown. No one will
look for the signal.
The computer display shows a map and zooms from a view of a
continent down to a country, with its borders, and zooms
further down to a city block.
Q (CONT’D)
Madeleine is not at the exchange
location.
Q points excitedly at the screen, buoyed by the apparent good
news.
MALLORY
Where?!
M relaxes as he realizes the truth could be brighter.
Q
They must be alive! She’s in a
hotel, the Splendide Royale!

INT. HOTEL’S PRESIDENTIAL SUITE - DAY


HOTEL MANAGERESS
As the hotel manageress, Mister and
Mrs Bond, I welcome you to our
presidential suite.
MADELEINE
It’s beautiful, thank you.
HOTEL MANAGERESS
And, Madame, our in-house stylists
will be with you shortly, to
arrange your, personal shopping
experience.
The beautiful hotel manageress looks up and down at Madeleine
strangely as she is still dressed in her military camouflage
outfit, and streaked with mud. Bond is the same.
37.
CONTINUED:

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?

INT. PRESIDENTIAL SUITE BATHROOM - DAY


The bathroom is steamy, the shower is running and Bond and
Madeleine are stood under it, locked in a passionate embrace.

INT. HOTEL CASINO - EVENING


Bond and Madeleine descend the golden stairs into the casino,
Bond in a tuxedo, Madeleine in a glamorous gown.
38.
CONTINUED:

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.

EXT. REGIONAL OFFICE - EARLY MORNING


Moving swiftly and quietly across the roof of the four-storey
International brotherhood for the Assistance of Stateless
Persons building, Bond and Madeleine find a skylight.

INT. REGIONAL OFFICE, 4TH FLOOR CORRIDOR - EARLY MORNING


Bond and then Madeleine drop through the skylight into the
dark corridor.

INT. OUTSIDE 4TH FLOOR FILE ROOM - NIGHT


Madeleine keeps watch as Bond picks the lock of the door, in
the distance foot steps can be heard. Bond fumbles with the
lock picking tools, but then the door swings open just as the
footsteps get closer. Bond and Madeleine slip into the room.
41.

INT. FOURTH FLOOR FILE ROOM - NIGHT


Madeleine and Bond quietly search the office which strangely
has a card index system and paper files.
BOND
Where are the computers?
MADELEINE
If everything can be hacked, why
have them? Could this be a data
centre?
BOND
Yes, a vast card index and archive.
One of these cards might tell us
where Blofeld is.
Bond starts opening small index card draws and flicking
through cards. Madeleine puts her bag on a table, looks at
the array of drawers in front of her and walks towards one
end. She opens a drawer marked W.
BOND (O.S.) (CONT’D)
This is dated today. Blofeld’s
chemicals need something else,
they’re exchanging...
Bond starts pulling files from a file drawer. Madeleine is
flicking through drawer W’s cards.
BOND (CONT’D)
a mystery merchandise for. This
says Shatterhand. A weapon of mass
destruction?
Bond is intensely reading papers from the drawer.
BOND (CONT’D)
It’s here! The mystery merchandise
is on a lower floor!
Madeleine steps back from the index with one card in her
hand, pain written across her face. Bond looks up as he
notices Madeleine's expression.
BOND (CONT’D)
What is it?
MADELEINE
(reading slowly)
White, Mister. Former executive
member, number nine. Deceased.
Role. Assassin. Code name. The Pale
King. Real name, Marc-Ange Borraud.
BOND
Your father?
Madeleine takes a huge draw of breath, swallowing the hurt.
42.
CONTINUED:

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.

INT. FOURTH FLOOR CORRIDOR - EARLY MORNING


BOND
You OK?
MADELEINE
Yes, yes. Let's go.
BOND
The mystery merchandise is one
level down.
Fire alarms are going off. Bond and Madeleine open an
emergency exit door and descend the stairs.

INT. FILE ROOM - EARLY MORNING


Dark suited men enter the room, it is ablaze. They try to
reach the other side, but are beaten back by the flames.

INT. THIRD FLOOR CORRIDOR - EARLY MORNING


Bond and Madeleine emerge from the emergency exit door.
BOND
No sign of fire here.
MADELEINE
It looks like a hostel, door after
door.
BOND
But, they’re locked from the
outside.
MADELEINE
Women. The merchandise is
trafficked women! And they’ll be
shipped out with the chemicals.
Feint noises can be heard coming from inside the room.
44.
CONTINUED:

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.

INT. THIRD FLOOR TRAFFICKED WOMEN’S ROOM - EARLY MORNING


MADELEINE
Parlez vous Francais? Do you speak
English?
One of the girls, ESHE, nods.
ESHE
We want to go home.
MADELEINE
You will. I promise you.
Standing under the door frame, Bond raises his gun and
squeezes off a round. The trafficked women scream and cry.
BOND
I got him as he came through the
door. His friends will be here
soon.
MADELEINE
I’ll open the other doors.
Madeleine shoots the doors’ locks and kicks in the doors.
Screams can be heard from the women inside the rooms.

INT. STAIRWELL - EARLY MORNING


Suited men, pistols in hand, are running down the stairwell
to the third floor.
As Madeleine reaches the final door, women begin peeking
around their doorways, confused at what is happening.
MADELEINE
Come out! We’re here to save you!

INT. THIRD FLOOR CORRIDOR - EARLY MORNING


The corridor is now full of women.
45.
CONTINUED:

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)

The grenade bounces back amongst the men, exploding, killing


almost all of them instantly. A dying heavy fires his final
bullet and it strikes Madeleine.
BOND
Madeleine!
Bond dashes from his doorway. One of the last trafficked
women kneels next to Madeleine’s motionless body.
WOMAN #2
I think she’s dead.
Bond reaches Madeleine, he rolls her over and clasps her head
in his hands. Above them, flames are engulfing the corridor’s
ceiling, smoke is obscuring everything. Madeleine moans.
MADELEINE
Merde.
WOMAN #2
She’s alive!
Bond’s hands search Madeleine’s torso for a wound, but
instead he pulls out the phablet. The phablet screen is
smashed and embedded in it is the bullet. Bond smiles.
Bond tosses the phablet into the flames and lifts Madeleine’s
unconscious body. The last few women clamber out the window.
Bond is coughing in the thick smoke that now fills the
corridor which the fire is consuming. Bond carries Madeleine
over his shoulder and he carefully climbs out the window.

EXT. STREET - EARLY MORNING


Sirens blazing, police cars and fire trucks surround the
burning building, emergency workers dash in to save it and
its remaining occupants.
An unconscious Madeleine is slumped against Bond who kneels
beside her on the sidewalk. She awakes, blinking, surprised
at her surroundings.
MADELEINE
(weakly)
We saved them.
Bond helps Madeleine to her feet.
BOND
Yes. Your father would be proud.
MADELEINE
(angry)
But, how many did we have to kill
to save them? And how many more
women will suffer because of
Blofeld and men like him?
47.
CONTINUED:

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.

EXT. AIRPORT HANGAR - DAY


Bond, Madeleine arrive in a car, Villiers stands waiting by a
private jet.
VILLIERS
Morning.
MADELEINE
Bonjour.
BOND
(with resignation)
We’re ready.
VILLIERS
Good.
Villiers holds out a pistol offering it to Bond.
VILLIERS (CONT’D)
Blofeld’s shipment is now at a
chemicals plant, my source tells
me. London can wait.
Bond has a broad smile and takes the gun. Madeleine hides the
fact the surprise fills her with dread.
48.

INT. CAR - EVENING


Villiers, Bond and Madeleine are loading their magazines into
their handguns and screwing on their suppressors. The car’s
GPS screen shows them getting closer to the chemicals plant.

EXT. CHEMICAL PLANT - EVENING


A huge black car with darkened windows slowly pulls up to the
chemical plant gate. A guard strides out from the gatehouse
and approaches the car. The driver’s window goes down with an
electric whine.
CHEMICAL PLANT GUARD #1
They are expecting you. Please
drive round to the car park. Your
chemicals are here.
The window goes up and the car glides through the slowly
opening gate.

EXT. ROAD - EVENING


Bond’s car speeds down the road, in the distance the huge
chemical plant main gate and gatehouse.

EXT. CHEMICAL PLANT - EVENING


Bond’s car comes to a stop at the chemical plant offices’
main entrance.

INT. CHEMICAL PLANT OFFICE - EVENING


Villiers, Bond and Madeleine stand waiting in a ground floor
portable office. Bond pulls out of his wallet his business
card, which reads, ‘James Bond, Universal Exports’.
BOND
Remember the plan, our cover is
we’re from Universal Exports.
MADELEINE
If you’re going to be Mister Beech,
can I be Doctor Beech?
BOND
(annoyed)
As I said, I’ve never used that
cover name. And how many import,
export managers do you think are
married couples?
MADELEINE
(tersely)
I’m still going to be a Doctor.
49.
CONTINUED:

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.

INT. CHEMICAL PLANT CORRIDOR / BOARD ROOM - EVENING


Bond, Villiers and Madeleine are led by the chemical plant
official through the stacked portable offices to the
conference room.

CHEMICAL PLANT OFFICIAL


If we can wait here, the chief
engineer assures me he will be
available in a few minutes.
50.
CONTINUED:

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.

INT. CHEMICAL PLANT CORRIDOR - EVENING


Bond, Madeleine and Villiers are running, their guns blazing
at Hinx who is far ahead. As the bullets strike around him,
Hinx smashes through a window, leaping to the materials
handling truck park below. Bond, Madeleine and Villiers reach
the window Hinx leapt through, their bullets ricocheting all
around the huge henchman as he jumps into a forklift truck.
Villiers looks round and sees the emergency exit.

EXT. CHEMICAL PLANT TRUCK PARK - EVENING


Bond, Madeleine and Villiers burst through the emergency
exit, a siren starts blaring, the three’s shots zing past
Hinx as he speeds away in a forklift. Hinx swings round and
raises the forklift’s pallet of chemicals on its forks,
reversing away at high speed. Bullets thud into the chemicals
which burst into flames. Hinx screams to a halt and then
accelerates forward, at Bond, Madeleine and Villiers.
Bond, Madeleine and Villiers dodge Hinx’s truck, his flaming
chemical barrels careering off his forks, bouncing across the
yard, leaking their flaming contents, creating a widening
lake of fire. Madeleine and Villiers jump into forklifts and
race after Hinx. Bond’s forklift won’t start and he jumps
out. Looking at where Hinx is going, Bond runs in another
51.
CONTINUED:

direction to try to cut the henchman off.

EXT. CHEMICAL PLANT OFFICES - EVENING


Bond steps out in front of Hinx, firing his gun. Hinx and his
burning forklift careers through the first floor of portable
offices, smashing through windows, partitions, shattering
tables, computers and chairs. Madeleine and Villiers zip past
Bond, destroying more of the offices which become engulfed in
a rapidly spreading fire.

EXT. CHEMICAL PLANT GAS BOTTLE STORAGE - EVENING


Madeleine and Villiers corner Hinx, barreling through a gas
bottle storage area, ramming his forklift, bottles are thrown
everywhere as their trucks collide. Behind them, gas bottle
explosions escalate, the lake of fire rages further across
the chemical plant. Bond arrives on foot and tries to aim at
Hinx but is defeated by the fire’s leaping flames.
The three forklifts reach a metal racking storage tower and
smashing into each other, the racks give way, collapsing,
their barrels crashing into the plant’s burning concrete
floor.
Racking and barrels falling like dominos, tumbling around
them, Madeleine and Villiers trap Hinx’s truck. Bond
scrambles to a higher vantage point and with his last round
wounds Hinx. Clutching his wounded side, Hinx leaps over the
mountain of wrought racking and barrels, Villiers chasing
him. Bouncing, falling barrels block Madeleine and Bond’s
way. The fire races towards the fragile barrel mountain.
Villiers confronts Hinx alone and the huge henchmen overcomes
him, grabbing his head and crushing it in his huge hands,
pressing his thumbs into Villiers’ eyes. Villiers thrashes
around desperately, Hinx squeezes the life out of him, he
goes limp with death. Slipping from Hinx’s grasp, Villiers
slides and bounces down to the floor like a rag doll.
Bond and Madeleine are trying to reach Villiers, but the fire
lake races up to the barrel mountain and it explodes,
becoming a waterfall of flaming barrels cascading down a
disintegrating fiery tower. Hinx disappears in the chaos.
Bond and Madeleine finally reach Villiers’ motionless body.
MADELEINE
(upset)
He’s dead.
Explosions and sirens can be heard all across the chemical
plant. Bond and Madeleine run from the scene.
52.

EXT. CHEMICAL PLANT - EVENING


Bond and Madeleine reach the plant’s wrecked offices. Behind
them, sirens, shouting, a raging fire and black smoke billows
into the sky.
Madeleine grabs Bond’s arm, stares into his eyes.
MADELEINE
You’ve said nothing about Villiers.
Bond looks away, hiding his annoyance.
BOND
He knew the risks.
MADELEINE
I’m a Doctor, I can’t be that cold.
Bond pulls his arm away as he becomes more irritated.
BOND
You’ve got to let it go, or, trust
me, it will eat away at your soul.
Madeleine faces up to Bond, standing close to him.
MADELEINE
Is that how you managed through all
that death for all those years?
Bond glares back, revealing his anger.
BOND
Me, your father, we all dealt with
it in our own way.
Bond turns his back, walking away, his tone becomes lecture
like.
BOND (CONT’D)
You’ll need all the abilities your
father gave you for what comes
next.
MADELEINE
And what’s that?
Madeleine punches Bond in the back.
MADELEINE (CONT’D)
Villiers death was for nothing. The
trail is cold.
Bond ignores the impact and keeps walking towards some
stairs.
53.
CONTINUED:

BOND
You’ve forgotten the associate of
Villiers’ killer. He might still be
alive.

INT. CHEMICAL PLANT OFFICES - EVENING


Madeleine and Bond enter the shot up board room. Outside,
chaos reigns with fires, explosions and emergency service
sirens. The huge desk blocks one end, the crushed body of the
chemical plant official underneath. Madeleine glances over at
the official, a guilty look.
On the floor, Kimura, wounded and delirious with pain, is
fumbling with his cell phone and mumbling. Madeleine takes
the handset from him.
MADELEINE
(To Kimura - loudly)
Who are you calling? Is this who
you’re calling, Doctor Shatterhand?
BOND
So, Shatterhand is a person.
Kimura is in shock and stares blankly at Madeleine. Bond
starts searching through Kimura’s pockets.
BOND (CONT’D)
One receipt for the processed
chemicals, held in bay 12, that’ll
be useful.
MADELEINE
To treat him, I need to get him up
on to a table.

INT. ADJACENT ROOM - EVENING


Bond carries a moaning Kimura over his shoulder, he dumps the
bureaucrat onto a table, Kimura cries out in pain.
MADELEINE
Careful James!
Bond is unconcerned for the injured Kimura. Madeleine gives
Bond the handset and rifles through her handbag and pulls out
a fabric pouch, a field medic kit.
MADELEINE (CONT’D)
I have a field medic kit from the
exchange. There’s a syringe of
methadone.
Madeleine stabs the methadone syringe into Kimrua’s neck, he
becomes more coherent as his pain recedes.
54.
CONTINUED:

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!

EXT. A HELIPAD - EVENING


Standing before a helicopter, Blofeld is surrounded by his
bevy of beautiful bodyguards, any of whom could have been
women wrestling champions, and by his side, Moneypenny.
BLOFELD
(prideful)
Such torment, more than I could
have hoped for. It’s pleasing to
know, my little game has brought
you back into our, world in the
shadows. And to prove I’m not
lying.
(To Moneypenny)
Go on, say hello.
MONEYPENNY
Bond! I’m on a...
BLOFELD
(interrupting Moneypenny)
That’s enough.
(To Bond)
You have proof of life. I can text
the exchange coordinates and time
to that phone. It will be nice to
see you again.
57.
CONTINUED:

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.

EXT. CHEMICAL PLANT - EVENING


Bond and Madeleine walk through the car park to their car.
MADELEINE
(assertive)
We can give the chemicals to MI-6.
We’ve done enough, taken enough
risk.
BOND
(dismissive)
I’m not finished.
MADELEINE
Take a look at yourself, look at
what this situation is doing to
you. These missions will consume
your soul, you said, if you can’t
let go. But you can’t, and you know
you can’t because this mission is
too personal.
BOND
Blofeld started this, and I’m going
to finish it and him.
MADELEINE
And only him. I didn’t marry you to
spend my life fighting the monsters
in the shadows.
Bond fumes getting into the car, slamming the driver’s door.
MADELEINE (CONT’D)
(quietly)
That killed my father.
Momentarily Madeleine considers walking away, before opening
the front passenger door and getting in.
58.

EXT. CHEMICAL PLANT - EVENING


An injured Hinx, his clothes torn and charred, looks on as
Bond’s car drives into the distance.

EXT. SKY - EVENING


Blofeld’s helicopter flies over the open sea.

EXT. WHITE YACHT, OPEN SEA - EVENING


Blofeld’s helicopter lands on the helipad of a white luxury
mega yacht. As Blofeld, his commandos and Moneypenny
disembark from the helicopter they are met by a yeoman.

INT. WHITE YACHT - EVENING


Blofeld and his bodyguards are greeted respectfully by the
yacht’s beautiful female crew who line up smartly to meet the
leader.
YACHT CAPTAIN
Everyone has arrived.
BLOFELD
Thank you.
Blofeld and Moneypenny descend an extravagant staircase to
another level of the luxurious yacht, followed by the staff.
In a conference room, a dozen or so international guests are
chatting and drinking.
BLOFELD (CONT’D)
Ladies and gentlemen, please take
your seats.
(To Moneypenny)
Sit by me my dear.
GUEST #1
Who is the young lady?
BLOFELD
A special guest of mine, until
recently Miss Eve Moneypenny was
with MI-6.
GUEST #2
We know her name.
MONEYPENNY
I’m flattered.
GUEST #2
Should she be here?!
59.
CONTINUED:

BLOFELD
We have co-opted other nations’
agents before, including Russians.
MONEYPENNY
Co-opted?
GUEST #3
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.

EXT. MARINA / BOAT - DAY


Over his shoulders Bond carries down the jetty two heavy
duffle bags that contain the canisters. Behind him, Madeleine
drags two large spinner suitcases behind her.
BOND
Here she is.
61.
CONTINUED:

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.

EXT. CIS BUILDING - MORNING


The sun rises over the CIS headquarters.

INT. LORD MOSLEY’S OFFICE, CIS BUILDING - MORNING


Lord Mosley commands the room from behind his large oak desk,
his new technical branch head, Patricia, sits quietly to one
side. On the other side of the table, Mallory and Q, in his
wheelchair, are feeling Mosley’s ire.
LORD MOSLEY
Do you two want to tell me why the
former double-o James Bond is
talking to Blofeld?
MALLORY
It’s the first we’ve heard of it,
Sir.
LORD MOSLEY
You expect me to believe that? Play
the recording Patricia.
BLOFELD (O.S.)
Kimura.
(beat)
Kimura?
BOND (O.S.)
BLOFELD!
At hearing Bond’s voice M covers his smile with his hand,
while Q, also smiling, looks down at his feet.
BLOFELD (O.S.)
Ah, James. It’s so nice to hear
from you.
(beat)
James? Are you there? Shouldn’t you
be with your lovely wife?
62.
CONTINUED:

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)

LORD MOSLEY (CONT’D)


Enter Draven.
Draven strides in, his confidence suggests progress.
LORD MOSLEY (CONT’D)
Yes?
DRAVEN
We have detected a message sent to
the phone Bond used.
LORD MOSLEY
And?
DRAVEN
They’re the coordinates, date and
time for Bond’s meeting with
Blofeld.
LORD MOSLEY
Excellent! Organize the strike
team. We’ll use the massive air
blast bomb.
Q leans forward out of his wheelchair, almost spitting the
words.
Q
That bomb kills everything in a
square kilometer!
LORD MOSLEY
(smiling)
I know. This is our chance, total
surprise.
Mallory jumps up, re faced, plants his hands on Mosley’s
desk.
MALLORY
You’ll kill Bond!
LORD MOSLEY
We know he’s dealing with Blofeld.
James Bond is, as far as this
government is concerned, an enemy
combatant.

INT. CIS BUILDING CORRIDOR - DAY


Q spins his wheels to catch up with Mallory.
MALLORY
Tell me you’re still able to track
Madeleine.
Q
Yes, of course.
64.
CONTINUED:

MALLORY
We’ve got to stop Mosley somehow.
Q
Just the two of us?
MALLORY
It’s time to give Felix Leiter a
call.

INT. BOND’S HOUSE - NIGHT


Bunt stands in the living room along with five female
commandos.
BUNT
(To herself)
Where are you, Doctor Swann?
Bunt picks up a wedding photo of Bond and Madeleine.
BUNT (CONT’D)
Burn the house down.

EXT. BOND’S HOUSE - NIGHT


Bunt takes a picture of the burning house with her phone, she
and her five commandos turn and walk away.

EXT. OPEN SEA - SUNRISE


Bond’s sloop cuts through the calm sea. Madeleine emerges
from the cabin and comes on deck.
MADELEINE
Where are we?
Bond is adjusting the sailboat’s rigging.
BOND
Half way there.
Madeleine looks out across the water, dread fills the pit of
her stomach.

INT. BOAT - DAY


Bond is cleaning weapons and in front of him on the small
table is plastic explosives, detonators and wires.
Madeleine sits in the dinette, the thick file she took from
the stateless persons’ office before her. She stares at the
duffle bag that has the ends of the chemical canisters
sticking out.
65.
CONTINUED:

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.

EXT. YACHT - DAY


From the white mega-yacht, a small boat transports Blofeld,
Moneypenny, his bodyguards and some of the yacht’s crew to
the harbor.

EXT. HARBOR - DAY


Blofeld steps out of his boat on to the harbor jetty, behind
him is Moneypenny, his bodyguards and yacht crew members.
Blofeld stops as his cell phone is trilling. He looks at it.
BLOFELD
(To his phone)
Interesting. Where are you then?
On the jetty, Blofeld is greeted by his German executive
member, VOGEL.
BLOFELD (CONT’D)
Frau Vogel. What progress has been
made?
VOGEL
Projector installation is underway.
BLOFELD
And the canisters we’ll get?
VOGEL
We can install the canisters 30
minutes after we retrieve them from
the warehouse.
BLOFELD
Good. The launch window cannot be
missed, Frau Vogel.

INT. MALLORY’S OFFICE, WHITEHALL - DAY


LEITER
Don’t get your hopes up. Your
problems aren’t important to the
White House.
67.
CONTINUED:

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.

INT. BOAT - NIGHT


Bond is cooking on the stove, vegetables simmer while he pan
fries fish fillets. The dinette table is now set for dinner.
68.
CONTINUED:

Bond does a double-take, glancing towards the forward berth


as Madeleine emerges in a beautiful chemise.
MADELEINE
You're not at the wheel.
BOND
(distracted by the
chemise)
Self-steering, it knows where we're
going.
MADELEINE
Don’t let it burn.
Bond flips his pan fried fish on to plates.
BOND
Since he died. Villiers. It keeps
bugging me. How did he find us?
MADELEINE
So, the death of someone you know
does affect you.
BOND
I didn’t know him, I hadn’t seen
him in years. I took a chance,
Villiers could have been with
Spectre.
MADELEINE
Why didn’t you tell me?
BOND
I couldn’t have you nervous, he
would have spotted that a mile off.
MADELEINE
But, I wasn’t. You should have
trusted me. And I knew how they
found us.
BOND
How?
MADELEINE
Mallory’s doctor injected me with
special microchips they can track.
It’s called smart blood.
Bond puts the plates of fish and some cutlery on the dinette.
BOND
I know what it is. Why didn’t you
tell me?
MADELEINE
Mallory said I was not to tell
anyone. Not even you.
69.
CONTINUED: (2)

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 drinks his wine, Madeleine stares intently at him over


the lip of her glass.

EXT. RAF NORTHOLT


Two military transport planes sit on the runway, their
engines humming. Armed men and women are boarding one
aircraft, while inside the other, a huge missile shaped bomb,
the massive air blast bomb, can be seen. Lord Mosley and
Draven are standing on the bomb aircraft’s rear ramp.
LORD MOSLEY
We’ll drop the bomb as soon as we
get there. You’ll parachute in.
Your mercenaries understand what
has to be done, yes? No survivors.
DRAVEN
Yes, they know everything, and,
everyone, must be neutralized.
LORD MOSLEY
Good. Get onboard Draven, I’ll be
in this plane’s command cabin
overseeing our enemy’s
annihilation.

EXT. HARBOR - EVENING


Bond steers his sailboat into its marina berth. Madeleine
jumps off the stern and onto the jetty, wrapping the line
around the piling and tying it off.

EXT. HARBOR CAR PARK - EVENING


Bond and Madeleine walk among the cars parked by the marina.
Bond fishes out a tool from a bag and goes to work on one
car’s door. The door springs open. He leans in and with the
push of a button the trunk pops open. Bond gets into the car
throwing his bag on to the back seat. Madeleine starts
dumping bags into the trunk. The car’s engine starts and its
headlights come on.

INT. CIS HQ - EVENING


Moneypenny calmly climbs the CIS headquarter’s spiral
staircase.
CIS OFFICER
(cheerfully)
Evening.
MONEYPENNY
Evening.
71.
CONTINUED:

Moneypenny steps quietly into Mallory’s dimly lit office,


where he is sat intently at his desk.
Mallory looks up, a look of surprise on his face.
Moneypenny takes a pistol from her pocket, staring at
Mallory, her face contorted by doubt. She aims.
A VOICE (O.S.)
We’ll tell you when, we’ll tell you
how, kill Mallory.
Moneypenny’s expression relaxes and fires. Mallory’s body
jolts back in his seat and he slides awkwardly into a slump,
he’s dead. A neat bloody hole in the centre of his chest.
Moneypenny looks down at the gun in her hand, a troubled
expression, a look of realization at what she has just done.
From the room’s shadows appears the beautiful young brunette
doctor who had helped Blofeld in the brainwashing laboratory.
She pulls out a stun gun and Moneypenny slumps to the floor,
struck down by thousands of volts.
The doctor steps over to the dead Mallory, pulls back his
head and pulls off the convincing latex mask that was
Mallory’s face. The unknown victim’s head flops to one side,
his wrists can be seen to be tied to the chair’s arms.
BLOFELD (O.S.)
Better. But, she wasn’t going to
pull the trigger.
Blofeld steps out of the shadows of the fake CIS office.
BLOFELD (CONT’D)
We had to give her the trigger
phrase, again.
The Doctor takes a pen from the desk.
DOCTOR
(Ticking boxes on the
clipboard)
More treatment is required.
BLOFELD
Lights!
The fake CIS office is filled with bright light.
BLOFELD (CONT’D)
(To guards)
Take her to her room.
Moneypenny’s unconscious body is carried away. Blofeld and
the Doctor exit the fake CIS office.
72.

INT. FACTORY CORRIDOR - DAY


Blofeld and the Doctor step into a corridor.
BLOFELD
When will she be ready, Doctor?
DOCTOR
Another week. Do we have more live
Mallory targets available?
BLOFELD
Speak to Vogel, she organizes
those.

INT. FACTORY - DAY


Blofeld and the Doctor step through a doorway onto an upper
walkway overlooking a vast drone factory. Huge aircraft are
being assembled, but they have no windows.
BLOFELD
She must be ready in time, Doctor.
This my most immediate concern.
Blofeld gestures towards the huge aircraft.
BLOFELD (CONT’D)
I can have no further distractions,
or you will have the chance to be a
Mallory.

EXT. STREET - NIGHT


Bond’s stolen car pulls up and Madeleine gets out, a large
rucksack in hand. Madeleine throws the rucksack over a fence
and clambers over.
From the car, Bond watches for any witnesses in the street
while he puts a miniature receiver earpiece into his right
ear.
Once a few yards away, in the shadows of a building,
Madeleine turns back towards the car.
MADELEINE
Comm check.
BOND (O.S.)
Comms OK.
Madeleine disappears into the darkness. Bond drives off.
73.

EXT. STREET/WAREHOUSE - NIGHT


Bond drives past a huge warehouse and around a corner.
Pulling up in the car, Bond retrieves the duffle bags of
canisters from the trunk. He stares up at the top of the high
fence around the warehouse.

EXT. AIRPORT HANGAR, ENGLAND - DAY


Leiter, Mallory and his SAS squad walk towards Leiter’s jet.
Leiter opens the cabin door.
LEITER
Welcome aboard Air America’s newest
service.
Mallory’s SAS squad clamber up the airstairs encumbered by
their rucksacks, webbing harness with ammunition and
grenades, gas masks, and assault rifles slung over their
shoulders.
MALLORY
I can’t thank you enough for this,
Felix.
LEITER
Thank me afterwards, when we’ve
survived it. I’ve never done
anything like this before. Go
behind my government’s back.
MALLORY
It’s for the greater good, Felix,
for the greater good.

INT. LORD MOSLEY’S AIRCRAFT - NIGHT


LORD MOSLEY
Any threats?
PILOT
No, Sir.
LORD MOSLEY
Good, prepare the bomb.

EXT. ROOFTOP - NIGHT


Madeleine unzips her rucksack and removes sniper rifle parts.
She confidently assembles the rifle and its stand and lies
prone, adjusting the night vision scope.
MADELEINE
Comm check.
A short pause.
74.
CONTINUED:

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.

INT. CONTROL ROOM - NIGHT


BLOFELD
Display central screen.
A huge central screen shows an aerial view with Lord Mosley’s
transport aircraft in the distance.
BLOFELD (CONT’D)
Divert drone five.

INT. WAREHOUSE OFFICE - NIGHT


Bond enters a large office lined with windows from a
stairwell. In Bond’s left hand, color printed pictures of his
house on fire. Stuck to a whiteboard before him, another
picture of his house in flames.
BOND
(Speaking loudly to the
room)
Interesting way to let me find this
room, pictures of my house on fire.
Bond throws the pictures on the floor. An echoing voice fills
the room.
BLOFELD (O.S.)
Welcome, James.
Out of the shadows of the dimly lit office, Blofeld’s
beautiful bodyguards step forward.
BOND
Where’s Moneypenny?
BLOFELD (O.S.)
Where is your lady wife, dearest
Madeleine?
BOND
Far from here.
BLOFELD (O.S.)
I hope so, for her sake.
BOND
Moneypenny, now.
Bunt and Hinx step forward out of the shadows.
75.
CONTINUED:

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)

Huge hand by huge hand, Hinx moves to grab Bond by the


temples, his thumbs moving towards Bond’s eyes. Bond
struggles, thrashes around to escape Hinx’s grip, but his
strength is overwhelming. Hinx begins to press his thumbs
into Bond’s eyes.
BLOFELD (CONT’D)
Stop! Bond is not to die, now.
Bond collapses as Hinx releases him. The bodyguards run
forward and drag the exhausted Bond into a chair, tying him
down.
BOND
(out of breath)
A hologram? Still hiding then
Blofeld.
Holographic Moneypenny disappears, the one Blofeld becomes
three.
BLOFELD
We disarmed your surprise. Did you
think a dead assassin’s daughter
and a retired former double-o could
turn the tables on us? You fool.
From the stairwell leading to the room, commandos carry a
resisting Madeleine, all tied up.
MADELEINE
Get off me!
They tie Madeleine into the second chair, she looks
bewildered at the three Blofelds.
BOND
He’s a hologram.
BLOFELD
Yes, if you’d shot at me from your
crow’s nest dear Madeleine,
nothing.
The commandos drag Madeleine and her chair so she is opposite
Bond.
BLOFELD (CONT’D)
Here we are again. Last time,
James, I wanted to get to the seat
of your soul. Really, drill, down,
remember? Well, I’ve had a change
of heart, and I’d like to break
yours. I think of Vesper, and the
others, and regret the fact that I
wasn’t there, to see, your loved
ones suffer. And you suffer.
Bunt pulls out a rusty trolley with instruments of torture on
it.
77.
CONTINUED: (3)

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.

INT. CONTROL ROOM - NIGHT


Blofeld steps off of a small dais surrounded by cameras and
special lighting, putting the cell phone to his ear.
BLOFELD
Yes, the drones are taking off now.
The incompetent British government
has delivered the chemicals. Thank
you, I look forward to the deposits
in bearer bonds.
Blofeld ends the call, turning away from his holographic
dais. Before him is the central screen showing Lord Mosley’s
aircraft approaching.
DARK SUITED MAN
Diverted drone five approaching its
target.

INT. WAREHOUSE - NIGHT


Red faced, sweating, bloodied, Bond and Madeleine defiantly
stare at Bunt.
BUNT
(Talking to Madeleine)
You just don’t know how much Herr
Blofeld likes you. If only you had
turned against your father.
Madeleine viciously spits blood at Bunt.
BUNT (CONT’D)
Now, I’m going to ruin that pretty
little smile of yours.
Bunt grabs Madeleine’s jaw, Madeleine struggles.
80.

INT. LORD MOSLEY’S AIRCRAFT - NIGHT


PILOT
We have an incoming aircraft, but
we can avoid it.
LORD MOSLEY

The red interior light illuminates the paratroopers as they
jump from the aircraft one by one.

INT. CONTROL ROOM - NIGHT


DARK SUITED MAN
Radio intercept confirms, Lord
Mosley aboard target aircraft.
BLOFELD
Excellent.

INT. WAREHOUSE - NIGHT


With Bunt forcing the pliers into Madeleine’s mouth again,
Madeleine struggles, twisting her head and body, her legs
kicking at Bunt.
Hinx approaches Bond, scalpel in hand, he laughs
malevolently.

INT. LORD MOSLEY’S AIRCRAFT


CO-PILOT
It’s still heading for us.
LORD MOSLEY
Do something!
PILOT
We can’t!

EXT. SKIES ABOVE THE WAREHOUSE - NIGHT


A huge explosion illuminates the sky briefly.
81.

EXT. DESCENDING PARACHUTISTS - NIGHT


Controlling his parachute, Draven looks up at the huge
explosion and sees the burning aircraft debris fall towards
the warehouse.

INT. WAREHOUSE - NIGHT


Bunt, Hinx, Bond, Madeleine, the bodyguards and commandos
stare up at the ceiling in shock at the huge thunder clap of
the colliding aircraft’s explosion. For a second they all
stand silent, then burning debris slams into the building and
the ceiling and walls explode in wood, fire and metal.
Everyone is knocked to the floor. Hinx, Bunt and uninjured
bodyguards and commandos dash for what is left of the
stairwell. Bond and Madeleine find the torture trolley’s
instruments scattered around them. Fire rages through the
room.
MADELEINE
James!
BOND
I’m here.
MADELEINE
There’s a knife!
Bond raises himself on his knee, the legs on his chair now
broken, and he turns to Madeleine. Madeleine is lying on her
side, still tied to the chair, reaching for the knife.

EXT. WAREHOUSE - NIGHT


Draven’s mercenaries begin to land across the warehouse car
park, ditching the parachutes, they advance on the warehouse,
firing their weapons. Draven lands last, stepping out of his
parachute, he loads his rifle and runs to catch up with his
men.

INT. WAREHOUSE - NIGHT


MADELEINE
I’ve got it!
Bond gets closer to Madeleine and with one hand she begins to
cut his ropes.

EXT. WAREHOUSE - NIGHT


Outlined by the raging fire that is the warehouse, Draven and
his mercenaries cut down Blofeld’s commandos with their
machine gun fire.
82.

INT. WAREHOUSE - NIGHT


Bond cuts Madeleine free and they stand and kiss, fire raging
around them. Bond and Madeleine run from the room, hand-in-
hand, and descend the stairwell.
On the lower level, Draven and his mercenaries are now in
gruelling, lethal, hand-to-hand combat against Hinx, the
bodyguards and the commandos. Bond and Madeleine pick up guns
from the dead and shoot at the commandos and bodyguards.
The burning warehouse is collapsing around them. Bond and
Madeleine are forced apart to avoid falling flaming ceiling
debris, which crushes commandos, bodyguards and mercenaries
alike. Across the burning wreckage Bond throws Madeleine the
car keys and she catches them.
BOND
(loudly)
Get to the car, it’s south, one
block away, I’ll meet you there!
Bond turns to fight two commandos, shooting his last bullet
at one and grappling with the other. Madeleine can’t leave,
she’s watching her husband fight for his life. She checks her
ammunition clip, she has one bullet left.
The last of Draven’s mercenaries are killed and Bond and
Draven are surrounded by bodyguards and commandos. Bunt
throws a punch at Draven and they grapple, the tall imposing
Bunt is his equal. Hinx grabs for Bond who swings punches at
the huge henchman. Hinx rams Bond and seizes him in his vice-
like grip. Bunt pummels Draven and he collapses to the floor
unconscious. Hinx tightens his grip, his hands moving towards
a struggling Bond’s head.
A shot rings out and Hinx falls dead, a bullet to his head.
Commandos raise their weapons in the direction of the shot,
but they can’t see Madeleine through the flames, and fire
blindly. Madeleine runs towards the other end of the burning
warehouse.

EXT. WAREHOUSE EXTERIOR - NIGHT


Madeleine is watching the burning warehouse from a distance.
From the smoke and flames, Madeleine sees Bunt and her
commandos and Blofeld’s bodyguards emerge with Bond, his
hands held high. Between two commandos, an unconscious
Draven.
Blofeld’s bodyguards jump into a line of trucks and the
canisters are loaded aboard. Draven is lifted into the back
of the last truck and Bond climbs in after him, guns pointed
at him. The last commandos and Bunt climb aboard and the
convoy departs.
Madeleine runs into the darkness, heading for the car.
83.

EXT. ROAD - NIGHT


Madeleine is driving and ahead of her she can see Bunt’s
convoy.

EXT. AERIAL VIEW OF A FACTORY - NIGHT


The convoy arrives at a huge dark one-storey building, the
size of several football pitches.

EXT. ROADSIDE - NIGHT


Madeleine stands next to her parked car, looking through
night vision binoculars. In the distance, Bunt’s convoy is
entering the huge building one truck at a time through
enormous roll-up doors.
Madeleine opens the car’s trunk and with a rucksack in one
hand she starts stuffing it with explosives, detonators,
timers and ammunition.

EXT. FACTORY - NIGHT


Madeleine scrambles forward, staring intently ahead for any
sign of movement, her rucksack of explosives over her
shoulder. Cutting through the perimeter fence in the bright
Moonlit night Madeleine runs for the shadow of the huge
factory walls.
Madeleine finds a window and peers in. She takes a gun and
using the rucksack muffles the sound of the window glass
smashing as she strikes it with her pistol butt. Madeleine
crawls through the window into the room, lit only by
Moonlight, pulling her rucksack after her.

INT. FACTORY - NIGHT


Madeleine opens the room’s only door very slightly and light
pours in along with the noise of heavy machinery. A woman can
be seen walking away down a corridor.
Madeleine strikes the woman with the butt of her pistol and
drags her back to the room. Madeleine changes into the
woman’s clothes which include a cap and ties up the
unconscious female. Madeleine pulls the rucksack over her
shoulder and slipping the pistol into her pant’s pocket steps
back out into the well lit corridor.

INT. FACTORY CONTROL ROOM - NIGHT


Commandos push and pull a restrained Bond, in his ragged
clothes, into the control room.
BLOFELD
Congratulations on surviving.
84.
CONTINUED:

Blofeld’s bodyguards also surround Bond, their weapons


pointed at him. Bond’s look alone could kill Blofeld.
BOND
(fiercely)
Unlike Hinx.
BLOFELD
He was loyal, to the end. But,
where’s dear Madeleine?
BOND
(angrily)
I promise I’ll kill you quickly.
BLOFELD
So, predictable. Madeleine. Where?
BOND
(spitting it out)
She didn’t get out of the
warehouse.
BLOFELD
I find that very hard to believe. I
wonder. Will your wife try to
rescue you, or will she go back to
mother?
Bond’s face is a mask of stone.
BLOFELD (CONT’D)
(exasperated)
So, disappointing.
BOND
Where’s Moneypenny?
BLOFELD
Around.
(To a dark suited man)
Send someone to take our other
guest to the dining room.
(beat)
And please get James here some new
clothes.
BOND
Not black.
Blofeld smiles at the reference to the Spectre uniform.
BLOFELD
(To the dark suited man)
Make sure it is all black.

we will strike your rudderless,
friendless nation, very soon.

EXT. AERIAL VIEW - NIGHT


Ahead of Leiter’s CIA jet, a city’s lights can be seen and on
the edge of the urban sprawl, a huge orange glow.

INT. CIA JET COCKPIT - NIGHT


LEITER
What’s that in the distance, a
fire?
MALLORY
It’s huge.
A beeping sound came from the cockpit display.
LEITER
Someone is contacting us on the
radio. Hello?
Q’s voice comes over Leiter’s and Mallory’s headsets’
earphones.
Q (O.S.)
This is London calling, are you
receiving me, over?
MALLORY
Q, it’s Mallory, what are you
doing, I said radio silence?!
Q (O.S.)
It’s OK, I’ve been monitoring
NATO’s Mediterranean surveillance.
They’re reporting there’s been a
mid-air collision.
LEITER
Lord Mosley’s plane?
Q (O.S.)
Yes, it must be his aircraft, and
there’s no survivors.
MALLORY
That could solve a lot of problems.
Are you still tracking Madeleine?

INT. Q BRANCH, LONDON - EVENING


In the damp old Q branch laboratory, in his wheelchair, Q is
huddled over his radio set and his tablet computer.
86.
CONTINUED:

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.

INT. MONEYPENNY GUEST ROOM - NIGHT


Moneypenny lies on the bed, troubled. The door opens and a
short dark suited male enters.
DARK SUITED MALE
Your presence is required.
A second individual wearing a cap appears behind the male.
MONEYPENNY
Just the two of you to hold me down
and inject me this time?
The short male looks confused and then slumps to the floor as
he suffers a pistol whip to the back of his head.
Moneypenny looks stunned. The cap wearer takes off the cap.
MONEYPENNY (CONT’D)
Madeleine!
Moneypenny throws her arms around Madeleine in relief.
MONEYPENNY (CONT’D)
Is James with you?
MADELEINE
(starting to cry)
He’s been captured.
MONEYPENNY
What?!
MADELEINE
(through the tears)
I escaped. The warehouse. It
exploded. I’ve tried to be so
strong for James, but.
Moneypenny looks horrified as Madeleine’s anguish.
87.
CONTINUED:

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.

INT. FACTORY CORRIDOR - NIGHT


Bond, now in a dark suit, walks ahead of Blofeld’s armed
bodyguards and behind them, Blofeld.
BOND
How do I know the Moneypenny I’ll
meet is not a double.
BLOFELD
Oh, I agree, in this uncertain
world, anything can happen, but, it
is the real her. Don’t take my word
for it, talk to her in the dining
room. Thank you for the canisters,
by the way.
BOND
What do you want them for?
BLOFELD
We can discuss that over dinner,
with Eve. But, first, I thought, a
special aperitif.

INT. FACTORY STORAGE AREA - NIGHT


Bond, Blofeld and his bodyguards enter the storage area and
find Draven on his knees, surrounded by commandos and their
COMMANDER.
Blofeld stands before his prisoner grinning. An animal
handler arrives with an albino tiger on the end of a leash.
BLOFELD
I've always liked cats, and why not
the big cats. One advantage with
trafficking animals is I can
indulge myself.
Blofeld plays with the albino tiger.
BLOFELD (CONT’D)
My beauty, my albino tiger, my snow-
white cat. She was so lovely when I
got her as a cub. I raised her, fed
her. I call her Schnee. It's German
for snow.
(MORE)
89.
CONTINUED:
BLOFELD (CONT’D)
(To Bond)
Did you know that?
BOND
How original.
Blofeld is still playing with the albino tiger.
BLOFELD
(Talking to the cat)
You love me don't you Schnee, you'd
never hurt your Vater, no, never.
(To Draven)
You’re Draven, yes?
DRAVEN
Yes.
BLOFELD
You must know my friend, James.
DRAVEN
No.
BLOFELD
Come now, both loyal subjects of
her Majesty. James, do you wish to
speak on your colleagues behalf, to
save his life?
BOND
He left my wife to die.
BLOFELD
Ah, yes, at the exchange. So
disappointing. Clearly the
brotherhood of MI-6 is not what it
was.
(To Draven)
Did you like our Moneypenny?
DRAVEN
Your?
BOND
He gave you a double.
Draven is bewildered.
BLOFELD
Moneypenny is still alive!
Draven visibly shrinks, defeat written across his face.
BLOFELD (CONT’D)
You thought you knew it all. Just
like Lord Mosley. Does the
uncertainty scare you?
(MORE)
90.
CONTINUED: (2)
BLOFELD (CONT’D)
(beat)
This, Draven, is the price of your
multiple failures.
Blofeld jabs a finger at Draven.
BLOFELD (CONT’D)
Schnee!
The tiger mauls Draven, killing him, Blofeld looks on a with
a manic smile.
The white tiger saunters back to its handler, its mouth a
shocking gash of red and teeth. The handler restrains it.
BLOFELD (CONT’D)
From beauty, horror. I never tire
of seeing that fleeting moment
between life and death.
Satisfied, Blofeld turns away to leave.
BLOFELD (CONT’D)
Which do you prefer, James, meat or
fish?
BOND
It depends on the wine.
An explosion echoes through the factory.
BLOFELD
Has our Madeleine arrived?
BOND
You tell me.
BLOFELD
Commander, all sections must report
in. Tonight’s launch must progress.
A voice comes over the COMMANDER’s radio.
VOICE (O.S.)
We have had an explosion in our
section, section five.
BLOFELD
Go to alert condition.
COMMANDER
(Talking into his radio)
All staff, alert condition.
BLOFELD
Well James, perhaps dear Madeleine
can join us for a late dinner, dead
or alive. Commander, escort Mister
Bond to a holding cell.
91.
CONTINUED: (3)

Several commandos train their guns on Bond, while two of them


push Bond in one direction.
Blofeld and his bodyguards march away, quickly followed by
Schnee and its handler.

INT. FACTORY - NIGHT


Explosions echo through the factory.
MADELEINE
I think I should have set those
timers for a little bit longer.
MONEYPENNY
Too late, now the remainder will
have to be set for almost immediate
detonation.
A dark suited man hurries towards them in the distance.
Madeleine pulls her pistol out and jabs Moneypenny in the
back.
MADELEINE
Move!
Moneypenny gives her a scathing look and looks back towards
the oncoming man.
Madeleine gives the man an alluring smile. He smiles back and
passes them quickly. Madeleine and Moneypenny turn a corner.
MADELEINE (CONT’D)
(smiling)
It’s a woman’s greatest weapon.
MONEYPENNY
(smiling)
The stupidity of men. It’s just
further down here, I saw some power
generators in a room on the right.

INT. FACTORY - NIGHT


COMMANDER
No, it’s this way, prisoner.
Bond smiles at the Commander and the four armed commandos,
and before he can answer an explosion in the distance becomes
a wave of advancing detonations. Bond slams himself into the
distracted Commander, grabbing at the man’s pistol. The two
struggle for the gun. The four commandos cannot shoot without
hitting their Commander, the explosions are getting closer.
Bond reaches the trigger and with a blast the Commander’s
body is flung back, then three of the four stunned commandos
die from a single bullet each. A fourth round ricochets off
the lucky final commando’s rifle and Bond’s clip is empty.
92.
CONTINUED:

Bond launches himself into the man, smashing the damaged


rifle to the floor. The commando stabs his elbow into Bond
and head butts him. A stunned Bond backs off and the last
commando pulls two small knives from his waistband.
The commando grins a wide grin and Bond returns the smile
before swinging a punch. Blocking the commando’s attempts to
stab him, Bond pummels the man with his fists and, in a fight
of will power and strength, Bond fatally drives home the
commando’s own knives into his prey. A fatigued Bond looks
down at his kill, smiles and looks in the direction of
gunfire and runs towards it.

EXT. FACTORY RUNWAY - NIGHT


Commandos are patrolling the runway as drone aircraft are
taking off.
In the distance, the CIA jet is coming in to land.

INT. POWER GENERATOR ROOM - NIGHT


There is a hum from the power generators as Madeleine and
Moneypenny enter the dimly lit room. Moneypenny covers the
doorway with a pistol, Madeleine is placing the explosives. A
silhouetted figure steps into the door frame.
MONEYPENNY
Stop right there.
BOND
Moneypenny!
MONEYPENNY
James!
MADELEINE
Darling!
Bond and Madeleine embrace and kiss.
MADELEINE (CONT’D)
And you have new clothes?
BOND
Care of Blofeld.
MADELEINE
We’ve placed the last of the
explosives.
BOND
So, how do we get out of here?
MONEYPENNY
I’ve seen the hangar for Blofeld’s
private jets.
93.
CONTINUED:

BOND
Lead the way.

INT. CIA JET CABIN - NIGHT


Mallory’s SAS soldiers are preparing their weapons. Mallory
looks on approvingly.
MALLORY
Let me have war, say I.
The SAS squad members smile.

EXT. FACTORY RUNWAY - NIGHT


The CIA jet lands and slows down, the commandos on the runway
stand surprised at its arrival. As the jet turns, it’s cabin
door is open and the machine-gunner in the jet’s doorway
rakes the surprised commandos with fire.
The commandos scatter and fall. The CIA jet comes to a stop
on one side of the runway. Stepping down the airstairs, the
machine-gunner continues firing from the hip.
The other SAS soldiers jump past him, popping sounds from
their assault rifles’ grenade launchers. More commandos fall
as the grenades hit their marks.
Mallory and his squad march down the runway raining hell on
the commandos in disarray. The runway is strewn with the
dead. The SAS squad, Mallory and Leiter, run into the factory
guns blazing.

INT. FACTORY HANGAR - NIGHT


Bond, Madeleine and Moneypenny run into the hangar,
explosions behind them. They reach a private jet and Bond
opens the hatch.

EXT. FACTORY RUNWAY - NIGHT


The private jet emerges from its hangar, accelerates past the
CIA jet down the runway and takes off.

INT. BLOFELD’S JET CABIN - NIGHT


Moneypenny is piloting the aircraft, Bond is in the co-pilot
seat, Madeleine stands between them.
BOND
Where shall we land in the UK?
Moneypenny looks at Bond oddly.
94.
CONTINUED:

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.

EXT. FACTORY - NIGHT


Mallory, Leiter and the SAS squad, some of whom are now
limping walking wounded, step over the dead commandos they
just killed. Explosions continue to echo though the factory.
They move carefully through the smoke filled interior. A lone
figure emerges, the figure of James Bond.
95.
CONTINUED:

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.

INT. BLOFELD’S JET CABIN - NIGHT


MADELEINE
(tersely)
Can I speak to you, James?
96.
CONTINUED:

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.

EXT. FACTORY RUNWAY - NIGHT


The CIA jet taxis down the runway, behind it, the factory’s
roof collapses inward and flames shoot skyward.

INT. CIA JET - NIGHT


The SAS team’s medic tends to the wounded soldiers.
Bond, Mallory and Leiter are in the cockpit. Leiter, in the
pilot’s seat, is using the radio.
LEITER
This is Air America calling London.
97.
CONTINUED:

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)

Mallory grabs Bond’s arm, shaking his head.


Q (O.S.)
Good to hear your still with us,
sort of.
MALLORY
It’s OK Q, we’ll take it from here.
Go home to your cats.
Q
Thank you, Sir. London, over and
out.
Leiter switches off the radio.
MALLORY
I’ll explain to Q about Moneypenny
when the time comes. She may be
dead.

EXT. FACTORY RUNWAY - NIGHT


The CIA jet takes off skyward.

EXT. A SMALL HOUSE - NIGHT


Blofeld, his bodyguards, Vogel, Blofeld’s tiger handler and
Schnee emerge from a small house, a solitary road leading to
the highway. In the distance fire is erupting and smoke
billowing from the factory’s collapsed roof.
BLOFELD
Has the tunnel been dynamited?
BODYGUARD #1
Yes Sir, no one can follow from the
factory. The helicopter will be
here shortly.
BLOFELD
Good.
(To Vogel)
How many drones took off?
VOGEL
With the sacrifice of drone five,
we have seven of the eight on their
way.
BLOFELD
Excellent, the clients will be
pleased.
99.
CONTINUED:

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.

EXT. TRAIN - NIGHT


Moneypenny, Madeleine and Bond are sitting on a crowded
London Transport Central line train.
MONEYPENNY
Just an hour from now and then it’s
a short walk to my flat from the
station.
MADELEINE
Have you shared a few bottles of
wine there before, James?
Bond is surprised.
MONEYPENNY
James has never been there.
(To Bond)
Not one for socialising a great
deal with work colleagues are you.
Bond gives a half-smile.
MADELEINE
He’s a cold fish, isn’t he. And you
were very quiet earlier. Something
wrong?
BOND
Nothing that I can’t fix.

EXT. NORTHOLT - NIGHT


The CIA jet taxis to a stop, its cabin door opening. Royal
Air Force officials and armed guards march up to the
aircraft. Mallory and Leiter exit the jet, Bond is helping
the wounded SAS soldiers disembark.
100.
CONTINUED:

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.

INT. A ROAD, LONDON, ENGLAND - NIGHT


Moneypenny, Bond Double and Madeleine cross the street
walking towards a large block of flats.

INT. MONEYPENNY’S FLAT, LONDON - NIGHT


Moneypenny, Bond Double and Madeleine enter Moneypenny’s
flat.
MONEYPENNY
That was lucky my neighbor, Vicky,
was in and she still had the spare
key.
(beat)
Now, I wasn’t planning on visitors
when I left for work that morning.
MADELEINE
I like the decor you’ve chosen.
MONEYPENNY
Thanks, we like it.
(To herself)
Where’s my old mobile phone?
Moneypenny takes her spare cell phone out of a drawer and
tries to turn it on.
102.
CONTINUED:

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.

EXT. A LONDON ROAD - NIGHT


Bunt and her female commandos look towards Moneypenny’s
apartment block as one commando kneels beside a telephone
junction box, wires in hand.
COMMANDO
It’s done. Her apartment block’s
phones are cut.
Bunt smiles.

INT. MONEYPENNY’S FLAT, LONDON - NIGHT


MONEYPENNY
I’m not too good at cooking, how’s
pasta and some veg for everyone?
MADELEINE
Can I help?
MONEYPENNY
If you insist. Once my phone’s
recharged I’ll phone my boyfriend.
I’d use the land line, but I can’t
remember his number as he’s on y
phone’s speed dial. The poor thing
will wonder where I’ve been.
MADELEINE
James, can you at least open a
bottle of wine.
BOND DOUBLE
Of course.
Moneypenny hands Bond Double three wine glasses. Bond Double
opens a screw top wine bottle and fills the glasses.

INT. MONEYPENNY’S APARTMENT BLOCK CORRIDOR - NIGHT


Bunt and her commandos arrive at Moneypenny’s front door,
silenced weapons drawn.
103.
CONTINUED:

MONEYPENNY (O.S.)
(muffled by the door)
I think there’s usually football on
tonight James, if you want to watch
that.

EXT. OUTSIDE MONEYPENNY’S APARTMENT BLOCK - NIGHT


A speeding car comes to a screeching stop. Bond, Leiter,
Mallory and a couple of his SAS pals jump out.
Flashes of light from the commandos’ silenced weapons
illuminate the windows of Moneypenny’s apartment.
As rain begins to fall, Bond, Mallory, his SAS pals and
Leiter run to the apartment block entrance.

INT. MONEYPENNY’S FLAT - NIGHT


Bond Double and Madeleine stand at the far end of the living
dining room, hands raised.
Her commandos’ guns pointed at Bond Double and Madeleine,
Bunt holds her pistol to Moneypenny’s head.
MADELEINE
Go on then, shoot! Spectre drove my
father to kill himself, why not
kill me too?!
BUNT
Oh, I think that honor should go to
someone else.
(To Moneypenny)
I will tell you what to do. I will
tell you how. I will tell you what
to do, Eve Moneypenny. I will tell
you how.
Moneypenny becomes strangely calm, Bunt hands Moneypenny the
pistol. Bond Double is silent, Madeleine is incredulous.
MADELEINE
Moneypenny?!
BUNT
Kill her, Eve, I will tell you what
to do. I will tell you how, pull
the trigger.
Moneypenny raises the pistol at Madeleine, but she struggles
to pull the trigger.
The apartment’s front door explodes inwards. Leiter, Mallory,
his SAS pals, and Bond burst through what is left. In the
chaotic hand-to-hand melee in the small flat, Moneypenny’s
furniture and belongings are getting smashed.
104.
CONTINUED:

Moneypenny, in her tortured hypnotic stance, sinks to her


knees, the gun slipping from her hands.
Madeleine sees Bond fighting and turns bewildered to look at
Bond Double. He grabs her and pulls a gun from the small of
his back, they wrestle, fighting over the pistol. They tumble
through the bedroom door to the sound of a single gun shot.
Bond, Leiter, the SAS and Mallory finish off the commandos
and turn to see Bunt, her gun at Moneypenny’s head.
BUNT (CONT’D)
Move and she dies!
Bond, Mallory, the SAS, and Leiter train their guns on Bunt.
Behind Bunt, Madeleine staggers out of the bedroom doorway, a
gun in her blood covered hands, the blood of Bond Double. In
shock, staring at the tense standoff, she shoots Bunt. Bunt’s
fall knocks Moneypenny to the floor. Madeleine drops the gun
and runs out of the apartment sobbing.
BOND
Madeleine!
Bond runs after Madeleine.

EXT. OUTSIDE MONEYPENNY’S FLAT - NIGHT


BOND
Madeleine!
In heavy rain, Madeleine stops in the road. Bond catches up
with her. Madeleine tries to wash the blood off her hands.
BOND (CONT’D)
Where are you going?
MADELEINE
(crying)
Away.
BOND
I’ll come with you, you don’t need
to run.
MADELEINE
No, James. We tried that, you tried
that, you walked away, once. You’ve
been on your own for too long. You
don’t need me, you don’t need
anyone.
BOND
I want to be with you. We could be
together, we could have all the
time in the world, together.
105.
CONTINUED:

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:

EXT. SKYFALL LODGE GRAVEYARD - DAY - ONE MONTH LATER


In the distance are the weathered remains of the destroyed
Skyfall Lodge. Bond’s Aston Martin DB-5 is parked outside.
Bond stands before the headstones in the small family
graveyard next to the Skyfall chapel.
One aged headstone has a barely legible inscription of, in
memory of ANDREW BOND and MONIQUE DELACROIX BOND. Tragically
departed.
Bond removes his wedding ring and kneeling down he pushes it
into the earth covering his parents’ grave. Bond’s face is
expressionless, his emotional armor is back on, he walks
slowly back towards his DB-5.
FADE TO BLACK:

INT. CIS BUILDING - DAY - ONE MONTH LATER


Mallory is in his new office on the top floor of the CIS
building with Moneypenny and Q, without a wheelchair.

Congratulations, Sir.
MONEYPENNY
That’s a relief.
Q
And Q branch, Sir?
MALLORY
Good news. Patricia is going back

branch is back.
Q
Thank you, Sir.
MALLORY
Get yourself down to your tunnels

Q
Immediately, Sir. My two cats will

MONEYPENNY
Congratulations, Q.
Q
Thanks.
Q leaves the office, smiling.
MALLORY
Moneypenny. You’ve been through a
lot. I understand your recovery
will be ongoing for a while. But,
you’ve served me extremely well and
I know there is no better person I
could choose.
Moneypenny smiles.
MALLORY (CONT’D)
So. With our resurrected MI-6, you
are my new chief of staff and head
of operations.
MONEYPENNY
Thank you Sir, it will be an
honour.
MALLORY
I know Tanner would have approved.
Mallory’s office door opens and Bond enters.

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.

INT. PLANE COCKPIT - DAY


Leiter is piloting the plane with Bond in the co-pilot seat.
They are speaking through headsets. Bond has binoculars and
is surveying the horizon.
LEITER
The Navy SEALs infiltrated last
night.
109.
CONTINUED:

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.

EXT. HARBOR - DAY


Through his binoculars, Blofeld looks out across the ocean,
he sees the distant aircraft.
BLOFELD
I thought we had an agreement with
the local authorities, no over
flights.
MOREAU
Yes, Sir, we have. I’ll phone them.
MOREAU, Spectre’s Côte d'Ivoire boss, dials his cell phone.
MOREAU (CONT’D)
Hello?
BLOFELD
Do ask them why, a, plane,
registration, Whiskey Zero Six
Seven Kilo, is flying towards us.
Moreau speaks on the phone briefly.
MOREAU
(To Blofeld)
They say they know nothing of any
such plane.
BLOFELD
We are evacuating, now.
110.
CONTINUED:

Blofeld hurries towards an enormous, strange looking, sea


plane whose engines have started. Moreau waddles after him
laden down with bags and briefcases.

INT. SEA PLANE COCKPIT- DAY


Bond is scanning the harbor with his binoculars.
BOND
There’s activity, people running.
And some sort of huge flying boat
pulling out of the harbour.
Leiter picks up his radio handset.
LEITER
This is Zero-Alpha, Two-Five, we
have activity. Over.
SPECIAL FORCES #1 (O.S.)
This is Two-Five, Zero-Alpha, copy.
We’re Oscar Mike.
Bond looks through his binoculars and the US special forces
are attacking the harbor. Blofeld’s huge sea plane
accelerates towards the open sea.
BOND
Blofeld’s got to be on that.
LEITER
You sure?
BOND
Take her down, I’ll jump it.
LEITER
If you say so.
Leiter pilots his plane close to the flying boat. Buffeted by
winds, Leiter fights to keep on-course. Damage from bullets
and shell shrapnel can be seen across the flying boat’s body.

EXT. PLANE - DAY


Bond takes his headset off, opens his door and climbs down on
to the plane’s pontoon. Leiter pilots the plane closer to the
flying boat, still being buffeted by the wind. Bond jumps
onto the flying boat’s wing.
Leiter misjudges the distance and his left wing strikes the
flying boat, his plane tips into the water, breaking apart as
it crashes into the waves.
BOND
Felix!
111.
CONTINUED:

Bond is holding on to the wing. He makes his way to the


fuselage and a window emergency exit, which he shoots.

INT. FLYING BOAT INTERIOR - DAY


Bond blasts two commandos as he jumps through the smashed
emergency window exit. Bond stealthily moves through the
aircraft which is laid out more like a ship.
From around a corner, Moreau appears and Bond cuts him down
with a double tap to the chest. Bond reloads and continues.
Out of a doorway Blofeld’s white tiger appears and with it
its handler. Bond shoots the handler dead, the tiger runs
away and disappears into the labyrinthine interior.
Bond reaches the cockpit, he peers round the door. Bond sees
the pilot sitting in his seat. From another entrance to the
cockpit, Blofeld appears smoking a cigarette.
BLOFELD
(speaking German)
What is our arrival time?
PILOT
(speaking German)
Two hours.
Bond steps into the cockpit and cocks his Walther PPK,
Blofeld slowly turns. The pilot holds up his hands.
BLOFELD
James! Or should I call you, 007?
Who was on that unfortunate plane
that just crashed, Moneypenny?
BOND
This is your end, Blofeld.
Blofeld stares intently and raises his hands.
BLOFELD
(taunting)
Is it? You think you can do it?
What you should have done on
Westminster bridge, when you were
with your beloved Madeleine.
Bond shoots Blofeld in the leg, he falls, crying out in pain.
The pilot is terrified, frozen also with his hands up.
BLOFELD (CONT’D)
(through the pain)
Think. Of dearest. Madeleine. If
you’d killed me back then.
Bond shoots Blofeld in the shoulder, Blofeld cries out again.
112.
CONTINUED:

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.

EXT. OCEAN - DAY


The flying boat splinters and sinks quickly. The ocean is
calm once more. A white head pops out of the water, it is
Schnee, Blofeld’s tiger. It paddles towards the harbor.
Bond comes to the surface. In the distance, an orange
inflatable life raft which Leiter paddles towards Bond. Bond
swims towards the raft and climbs aboard.
LEITER
Is it done?
BOND
Yes. But, there’s still plenty of
Spectre to roll up.
(beat)
Thanks for surviving the plane
crash.
LEITER
I’ve gained a strong survival
instinct after all the years I’ve
been working with you.
BOND
Talking of survival, where are the
US Marines to save us, Felix?
LEITER
(chuckling)
They’ll be here.
BOND
What’s so funny?
LEITER
Is that Blofeld’s tiger over there?
BOND
Yes! It killed him.
113.
CONTINUED:

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.
