GUN BARREL LOGO.

Animated white dot moves from frame-left and centers on frame-right.  Iris veins surround the dot to fill the frame.  A MAN enters the dot walking from right to left, the iris moving to centre-frame with him.  He jumps to face, pointing a gun and shooting.  Red colour falls from the top of the frame.  The iris wanders then starts to fall to bottom-frame.  The iris and man fade out and the dot gets smaller, drifting to bottom right.

 

                                                                                                            IRIS CUTS OUT.

 

The dot opens on: Moon reflected in water.

Don’t judge me Mr. Bond. We only came for Dimitri. This old fool got in the way. I suggest you back off and let me go….

007:

I’ll have to hear what Mathis says about letting you go.  
Bond to Mathis:

Rene; I told you not to speak to any strange men in the bar.

Scene 6

Medium shot from Cadre’s POV: Cadre attacks Bond.
Tracking shot: The knife slashes right to left, and Mathis’ blood flies from the blade. Bond tries to smother the attack using the empty Walther PPK

 Cadre slashes again from the left. Bond blocks the attack forcing attacking hand wide, and

Bond counters with a ridge hand to throat.
Tracking shot reverse angle: Cadre steps back, soaking up the pain from the attack. He flexes his muscles and his hand flashes out grabbing Bond’s right shoulder, his fingers dig into the flesh, dragging him down, trying to turn him.

Close up: Bond drops the Walther and counter grabs the knife hand.
Tracking shot: Cadre’s well-muscled arm wet with sweat slides around within Bond’s grip, the blade continues its deadly path toward his throat; Bond braces himself, and pushes back, the effort is immense, and Bond knows he cannot beat this man on pure strength.

Close up: Bond stops his resistance and allows himself to be pulled in.

The blade is only an inch from his neck

CUT TO:

Close up of fight: The blade touches Bond’s skin and at the last moment Bond twists inside guard, striking backward with his elbow then firing up with his fist, the second strike catches the man on the nose, the pressure of his knife attack hand slackened. Bond side steps to the right and steps behind Cadre, sweeping his leg forward. He crashes to the floor.

Wide shot: Bond stamps down hard on Cadre’s wrist. The knife falls from his grasp. Bond kicks it away and it bounced across the floor with a hollow metallic ring.

CUT TO:

Cadre lays motionless.

Dolly shot: Bond goes to Mathis

Close up: Bond cradles Mathis in his arms.
Mathis looks up from under his heavy eye lids

Mathis:

I always wanted to die in France

Wide shot from floor level: Mathis tries to reach for his gun, which lays some distance away on the floor.
Bond looks at Mathis’s wound and applies pressure

007:

Be quiet and there’s a chance you still can

Mathis:

Oh James, there is a lot more to France than just l'hexagone. Little specks of her are dotted all around the world, all in spectacular settings

Medium shot: Bond looks around the bar and shrugs

 

007:

Mathis, just shut up, I need to get help.

The blood is forcing its way up between his fingers.
Mathis closes his eyes

Mathis:

Please James, help me get my gun

007:

Don’t be stupid

Mathis:

Then get me a brandy
Mathis points to a bottle of brandy on the floor
007:

Keep still or you’ll die right here
Mathis:

Like Dimitri? I came here to offer him protection.

007:

He doesn’t need it now

Mathis:

I failed him
007:

Yes, now keep still

Mathis:

James I have to tell you what Dimitri told me

007:

What?

Mathis:

The funds are going to be transferred tonight at the Betting Rooms.

007:

I’ll try to stop that

Mathis:

You need to know about the Betting Rooms.

007:

Go on

Mathis:

The club is a front for an international money laundering operation; tonight’s proceeds go to funding the terrorist group that’s heading for London. Demitri’s contact is the only one that can get you close enough to the man you’re after. James, if he transfers the money tonight the attack on London will be unstoppable. You have to stop him.

007:

I will. What’s the contact’ name?

Mathis:

Her name is Saxa

007:

How do I make contact?... and don’t say ‘phone’

Mathis: Shaking his head

Sorry I don’t know. Now get me some brandy

Close up from Bond POV: Bond looks deep into his friend’s eyes, all pretenses are futile.

Bond reaches for the bottle, and offers him the brandy.

007: Smiling

Trust a Frenchman to find a bar where the brandy is free
 

Medium shot: Slowly Mathis brings his arm up and holds on to Bond’s sleeve
 

Mathis:

Ha let that be my epitaph.

Mathis grip fades and Mathis dies.

 

Scene 8

Wide shot: Cadre speaks
                                                                     Cadre:

Very touching.

Medium shot: Cadre Struggles to his knees; blood dripping from his shattered nose. He wipes his face with his good arm
Bond watches him with a cold curiosity as the wounded giant reaches across with his good hand and thrusts it deep into his pocket, he grunts and groans, and finally begins to withdraw the hand, but he only extracts his mobile phone.
Close up from Cadre POV: Cadre gestures toward Mathis with the phone
 

Cadre:

I want to call my lawyer
007:

Now why would you want to do that?
Cadre:

There’s no way I’m going to prison

Close up then pan: Bond wipes the blood from his fingers on Mathis’ jacket; slowly he reaches forward and picks up Mathis’ gun.

CUT TO:

Close up: Cadre pulls out a £1 million bearer bond

 

Cadre:

No need for violence. Money talks Mr. Bond. This is a £1million bearer bond

Cadre: Waving the bearer bond

With this little baby doing the talking my lawyer will have me back on the streets in less than one hour
 

Medium shot: He laughs at the effort it takes to press the buttons. He waits for the connection. Slowly he shakes his head and looks at Bond with contempt
 

Cadre:

You think you have the upper hand? Just because you have a gun? I won’t ever spend a single night in jail
007:

                                                        You’re absolutely right
The shot is loud in the quiet smoke filled room.

Q:

This will be Emma’s first mission, please be gentle with her. Ah yes. You may have to go hungry tonight 007. I’m sorry to have to advise you that your contact has been compromised. Mister Risk…

Bond:

Q:

Whatever 007. You need to know that Mr. Risque has increased Security at the club.

007:

That’s a shame

Q:

The club is on high alert. I’m afraid your name just isn’t on the VIP list anymore

Risque:

A little bird tells me you paid a visit to the Bar tonight.

Medium shot from Risque’s POV. Bond looks Rique up and down

007:

Yes I had a bit of a thirst

Risque:

Mr Dimitri, the owner of the bar was holding something for me. I sent one of my most trusted men to retrieve it. But alas he has not returned, I don’t suppose you…

Tuxido Guard 1 takes the £1 million barer bond from his pocket

Risque:

Ah excellent. I see you brought it for me. What a good fellow you are

007:

I try

Bond notes that his face seems out of proportion; the bald head appears massive; his skin tone varied from a healthy pink to a stodgy white

Medium shot from behind the black-jack table: Tuxedo guard 1 puts the £1 million bearer bond on the blackjack table

Risque:

I already have nine of those already. That completes my set.

007:

The ten million you are intending to give to the terrorist group.

A most deserving cause

007:

I’m here to make sure you a have a change of heart

Risque:

How?

007:

I’ll play you for it

Medium shot: Bond pulls out a chair and sits at the blackjack table

Risque:

No I don’t think so.

007:

Your friends will have trouble keeping hold of the money. My friends will make sure it never leaves the country

Risque:

I don’t think so. If your friends are as competent as you are... But; no matter. My friends won the money fair and square it will be in all the newspapers

007:

I don’t necessarily believe what they put in the papers. But if you think they can win it fair and square, your luck is about to change

Close up: Risque looks about the room.

Risque:

One man against all of my people. Now what do you think are the odds against that happening?

Medium shot: Risque leaves the blackjack table and walks over to a roulette table.  

Risque holds out his hand. Saxa hands him a pile of chips. Casually he places the chips on the table.

Risque:

You have a very active imagination Mr. Bond. But I’m afraid that’s all you have.
 

Close up of roulette wheel: The ball lands in a pocket and the croupier begins to take in the chips from the losing punters, and then with deft skill began issuing out the winnings to Mr. Risque. Players around the table clap.

Wide angle: Risque sits at the roulette table. He piles the chips in front of him
 

Risque:

Do you play roulette Mr Bond?
007:

Not seriously, there’s too much chance involved, I prefer games of skill
 

Medium shot: Risque wags his finger in defense of the game
 

Risque:

Legend has it that to understand Roulette you must first bargain with the devil to obtain its secrets. You see the sum of all the numbers is 666; the Number of the Beast
 

Close up: Risque leans over the table and lovingly rubs his hands over the green baize; then taps the wheel

 

Risque:

This is the heart of the beast. The wheel and its numbered pockets.
 

Tracking shot: Risque stands up and walks around the head of the table his fingers trace along the rim of the table.
 

Risque:

The walls and curved surface make the ball spin towards them. Gravity dictates that as the ball loses momentum it will drip into one of the pockets. Like blood
 

Medium shot from foot of table: The croupier starts the wheel spinning and deftly flicked the ball into the dish

Croupier:

Rien ne va plus
 

Medium shot: Risque sits in a seat across the table from Bond. His eyes never leave the wheel
 

Risque:

Every pocket has a number and a colour. 1 to 36 are red and black. Zero and Double zero are green. That’s the difference between American and European roulette; the American wheel has a double 0. The additional pocket affects the odds in favour of the house, from 2.7 to 5.26 percent
007: bored

Fascinating

Close up: The ball drops into number twenty two.
Medium shot: The croupier uses his rake to push the winnings toward Mr. Risque and draw in the other chips from losing squares on the table.
Medium shot looking up from table level : Saxa appears at Bond’s shoulder. She holds a stack of chips in her hand.

We cashed in his bearer bond

Risque:

Give him the stack

Close up: She places the neat stack of chips in front of Bond.
Close up from Bond’s POV: Bond looks up from her breasts and into her eyes

 

007:

That was very nice. Thank-you

Saxa blows Bond a kiss and walks away.

Tracking shot: Bond watches her walk away, her female form swaying

CUT TO:

 Medium shot of table: The other players leave. Tuxedo Guard 1stands behind Bond. He takes out his gun.  

 

Risque:

Looks like she gave you the kiss of death

007: looking at the table

Shall we play?

Risque:

One final spin of the wheel?

007:

I’m game. Let me see if I can work this game out. The colours alternate; as do the pairs of numbers.

Close up: Bond picks up his stack of chips.
 

Risque:

That’s right Mr. Bond when you study the wheel you see a clear pattern in the disposition of numbers…
 

Medium shot: Risque splits his stack of chips, dropping chips onto various squares of the table

 

Risque:

This play is known as the pyramid. A theory devised by the French mathematician, D'Alembert. Applied to even-money outside bets; the progression is simple: Whenever the number of wins equals the number of losses, the net gain is equal to the number of wins. Although naturally I always win
007:

I can see the advantage of making multiple bets under different odds…

007: looking at Risque (he lifts an eyebrow)

You always win?
Risque: slowly nods his head

I’ll make you an offer Mr. Bond. You can play using those chips. If you win you take the winnings. But if you lose. I take your life.

Close up: Tuxedo guard 1 fixes the silencer to his gun
Pan shot following movement: Bond places the entire stack on the double 0 square at the top of the table.
Close up of Risque: Risque lets out his breath in a long whistle
 

Risque:

To gamble everything on a single play is very dangerous, Mr. Bond
007:

But the Double 0 gives me the best odds
Risque:

Odds can change, Mr. Bond
007:

But my number remains the same
Risque:

Then I guess you’re a dangerous man, Mr. Bond
007:

Then I guess you’re right
Risque:

I can see now you’re a double 0 man
007:

Then you know why I’m here
Risque:

I guess I do. Seems this will all be over very quickly

Medium shot: Risque looks at Tuxedo guard 1, then points to Bond, then draws his thumb across his throat
Close up: Croupier releases the ball “Rien ne va plus".
Close up: Tuxedo guard 1 places the muzzle of the gun against the back of Bond’s head
 

Risque:

When he loses kill him
 

Medium shot: The ball courses around the wheel.

The ball drops into 00
Close up shot of Risque’s eyes: They widen in disbelief.

007:

You were right there was no need for theatrics. I’ll make that appointment to see you tomorrow shall I.

007:

 I’ll collect my ten million winnings then…
 

Close up: Risque looking at the ball sitting proud in its pocket as the wheel comes to rest. 
 

Risque:

No Mr. Bond stay where you are

Close up: Tuxedo guard 1’s gun presses into Bond’s spine.
 

Risque:

I told you the odds can change; you won’t be seeing anyone tomorrow
 

007:

That’s a shame. I didn’t think you were going to be such a bad loser
Risque: shouting, and rising from the table

I’m not the loser Mr. Bond you are. Goodbye Mr. Bond.
 

Medium shot: Risque gestures to Tuxedo Thug 1 to get Bond out of the casino

007: to Saxa

Cash that will you
Dolly shot: Tuxedo guard 1 bundles Bond toward the elevator. They wait for it to arrive.

Tracking shot: Saxa hurries to the elevator and looks appealingly at Bond.
