PTS
The pre-title's sequence opens with the gun-barrel and we see the last shot that was in Casino Royale. Bond questions Mr. White about where the money is. Whilst talking to Mr. White he recieves a call from Mendel telling him he's found that the money had been transfered into another account. Bond then takes Mr. White inside, puts a bandage around the leg he shot him in and sits him at his computer. Bond then plugs a keystroke logger into the back of Mr. White's computer and tells him to open up the account in which the money had been transfered to. Bond starts to transfer the money from Mr. White's account into his own. As he is doing this, Mr. White's men arrive in 3 cars, each carrying 4 men. Although the middle car's driver does not come out. Bond then drags Mr. White outside holding him hostage in front of his own men. The men look puzzled at this. Bond then shoots the gas tank of the front car and half the men die in the explosion. The men at the back car turn to the front car and Bond shoots them. Then the man in the middle car gets out of the front seat and stares at Bond for quite some time before Bond blows up the other car and runs inside to check the money has been transferred. He then closes the program, takes out the keystroke locker and heads out the back and jumps in Mr. White's car and drives off. We then cut back to the man who was out the front before Mr. White tells him "Get Bond!" before dying. Roll the opening titles.
B22 Story Part 1
We then see Felix Leiter who is back in Washington looking up a file on the man seen in the PTS. Felix is sitting at a desk racking his brains on what the connection is. Then it occurs to him that this is the man Mr. White was working for.
We then cut back to Venice where the PTS took place as the man in the car chases Bond down a road in the country side and Bond takes a turn into a blind spot which is a road. The man drives straight past Bond and put blows the car up. Bond makes a run for it into nearby bush. The man then turns back and finds the car has been blown up. He searches around the car for any trace of a body before Bond sneaks out and jumps into the man's car and drives off.
We then see M in her office talking to a woman in her office who is applying for a job at MI6 to help bring down the LRA. M offers her the job and she accepts it. They are then interrupted by Loelia Ponsonby who tells M that she found out that Bond had just killed Mr. White and been chased by a man through Venice and was on his way back to London to his Chelsea flat to discover more about this man. Ponsoby also discovered that Villiers is the traitor and was send for court marshall.
We cut to Bond's apartment in Chelsea where he is on his computer looking at files from Vesper's organiser on his computer which he has plugged into the computer. He is going through it trying to find out who this man is when he finds a video message from Vesper telling him all about a man known simply as Risico. She tells him that this was her French Algerian lover whom she was supposed to marry before she was sent to Montenegro to help Bond beat Le Chiffre.
B22 Story Part 2
Bond tracks down this Risico to Malaysia where he is staying until the heat from the last part cools off a bit. Bond tries to find out exactly where in Malaysia Risico is hiding. He finds out that is somewhere close to South China Sea so he can escape by sea plane if he needs to.
Villiers is back at in M's office telling M where Bond has gone and that if he is going to survive, that the woman M just hired will need to be sent there. Villiers departs from M's office and tells the woman she will be on the next available flight to South Africa where she will meet with 007 and give him a super-powered spy leg as a disguise in order to make the villain think that Bond did survive. She also gives him a new weapon, a Glock 22. He is also ordered to dye his hair completely brown and be given a 3 inch vertical scar on his right cheek. Bond hesitates about it but knows it will help him bring down the villain.
B22 Story Part 3
In Malaysia, Bond and the woman find a hotel and agree to seperate bedrooms as Bond cannot stand losing another woman and does not want to get involved in case she turns out to be something she's not acting to be. She tells Bond a story that she is actually the daughter of Risico. She tells him her name is Marcella Risico. Bond is intrigued and vows to stick with her during the mission and says that she is not to be in contact with him ever again after the mission is over.

Bond and Marcella track down Risico to a nearby retreat where he is disguised as a patient. Bond uses his own disguise to his advantage and goes undercover under the name Archie Leach at the same retreat. Bond takes advantage of the nurse caring for him and makes passionate love to her and thanks her for being with him. It is later revealed that the nurse is Marcella. Risico sees this and gets into a fight with Risico strangling Risico and blowing up the retreat which was full of people from the LRA.
