This snippet takes place just after Bond escapes The Island Of Death.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EXT. MASTER'S CASTLE - PUERTO RICO - SUNSET
The beautiful castle built into the side of the mountain overlooked the carribean beach. The sun is slowly setting in the backround.

INT. MAIN STARIRCASE - MASTERS' CASTLE - SAME

The guards in tropical shirts patrol the building. They are all armed with double-barreled shotguns.

CUT TO: SHADOWY CORNER OF MAIN STAIRCASE - SAME

A man whose face is not revealed by the camera sneaks up behind a guard and covers his mouth while sticking a knife through his back.

EXT. MASTERS CASTLE - SAME

The camera zooms in on a number of explosive devices that have been placed on all sides of the castle and the rocks underneath.

INT. MASTERS CASTLE - SAME

Masters enters the main lobby with the beautiful latin Ms.Cherry at his side. The camera zooms in on their faces. They are in total shock.

THEIR POV: The main hall is littered with the bodies of almost a dozen dead guards.

The camera pulls back on the two to reveal that Bond is holding two silenced pistols, pointed at the back of each of their heads.
He is wearing an all black suit. Masters does not even have to turn around to know who it is.

MASTERS
Ah, James. You survived the
island. You've passed your
second test.

BOND
The tests are over, Masters.

Bond grabs Cherry and throws her onto the floor and points the gun in his left hand right at her head.

BOND
Move and your dead.

Cherry seems very annoyed by Bond's treatment of her. Bond grabs Masters by the back of the collar and throws him into a chair located right by the fireplace.

BOND
The cure for the virus... where
is it? Now.

MASTERS
Let me ask you a question, Bond.

Bond cocks the gun.

MASTERS
Do you really want the cure?
You see Bond. Your nothing more than her blunt intrument of death. A slave to an empire that hasn't mattered for over half a century.

Bond's face remains blank with no expression. Masters gets up out of the chair and approaches Bond.

MASTERS
Do you really think she would care
if you were the one with the virus
and not her. You coming back here
was a mistake. M is goint to die
and there is simply nothing you
can do about it.

BOND
And Lila...?

MASTERS
Don't worry, Bond. She's in a
safe place. Far away from here.

Masters looks at his watch.

MASTERS
Sorry, Mr.Bond. But I'm afraid
this meeting must be cut short.

Guards pour through every door and surround Bond. They are lead by Hammerhead.

MASTERS
I'm sure you would of enjoyed
killing me Bond, but it was not
meant to be.

Hammerhead grabs the pistols out of Bond's hand, who puts up little resistance. Cherry walks up to Bond and kisses him on the lips.

CHERRY
It's a shame you have to go.
I certainly enjoyed the night
we spent together.

BOND
I've had better.

Cherry's smile turns into a look of anger and she slaps Bond across the face with a powerful slap. Bond laughs even after the assault.

MASTERS
This upsets me, Bond. Your a
man that enjoys the finer
things in life, just like me.
It disturbs me to see you like
this, with no means of escape.

CUT TO: EXT. MASTERS CASTLE - SAME

ClOSE-UP ON THE EXPLOSIVE CHARGES: The timers read: 60...59...58...57...

INT. MASTERS CASTLE - SAME

BOND
Don't give me your pity, Masters.
My government knows what your
doing, as well as the American.
In less than two hours the U.S.
coast guard will have this place
surrounded.

Masters laughs.

MASTERS
I think not. A bluff that will
get you nowhere... except hell.

Masters nods at Hammerhead who kicks Bond in the back of the knees causing him to fall to the ground. Hammerhead aims a shotgun at the back of Bond's neck. Masters ducks down next to Bond.

MASTERS
Did you really think I would
allow you to jeopardize an
operation that I have spent
more than half of my fortune
on?

Masters gets up and begins to pace around the room.

QUICK CUT TO SHOT OF EXPLOSIVE CHARGES: The timer reads: 30...29...28...

CUT BACK TO INSIDE OF CASTLE

MASTERS
By tomorrow morning, the world's
population will be infected with
my virus and goverments will have
no choice but to pay for the cure,
vile... by vile... by vile.

BOND
Your plan is ludacrious. They
won't pay.

MASTERS
Then they will all die. I couldn't
care less.

Masters, Cherry, and Hammerhead all cock their guns and aim at Bond.

MASTERS
We were right, Bond. Men like
us die on the job.

CUT TO SHOT OF EXPLOSIVE CHARGES: The timer reads: 4...3...2...1... BOOM!!!

CUT BACK TO INSIDE OF THE CASTLE

SLOW-MO SHOT: Everyone in the room is thrown from their feet.

Charges continue to explode all around. After about 10 seconds of non-stop explosions the rooms is silent. Bond quickly gets of his feets and punches Masters in face, knocking him to the ground. Bond runs up behind one of the guards and grabs his AK-47 and begins to use him as a human sheild as his fires the gun.

Yet again, quite good.

I must say the thing that jumps out the most from reading this is the dialogue between Bond and Masters. Location seems good too.

Good work, DanMan.

[DanMan]

Thanks Qwerty.
