The World is Not Enough Page #2

Except Henchman #1 has recovered, blocks his way, gun in

hand. He starts to squeeze the trigger -- when a RED DOT

appears on his chest...another window SHATTERS as a bullet

zings through and pierces the henchman in the heart.

Bond looks back once at the shattered window, then heads out.

INT. BANK - GENEVA - DAY

Bond appears on the top floor of the grand old building, by

the elevator. Looks over the balcony, sees figures on the

stairs. Hears the elevator cage start from below.

Thinking fast, he wrenches open the steel gate, leans into

the lift shaft, watches the elevator COUNTERWEIGHT as it

comes down. Almost nonchalant, he steps out...

INT. STAIRWELL/ELEVATOR SHAFT - DAY

As the cageful of police rises, Bond is now standing on the

counterweight, DESCENDING.

EXT. STREET - GENEVA

Lunchtime. Faceless business crowds heading for their brief

moment of freedom, among them we spot BOND...one of them,

with a briefcase and a suit and tie...HOLD on his face,

troubled.

INT. HOTEL - GENEVA - DAY

The Cigar Girl enters a huge, high-ceilinged room. Edgy, she

approaches a BIG MAN standing on a balcony overlooking the

city. Propped against the doorframe, an assassin?s RIFLE

with LASER-SIGHT attached. BINOCULARS are on a tripod,

trained on the rooftop below where we can see cops examining

the shattered office windows.

The man turns. Powerful, deadly, with a military haircut.

There is a raised, red scar of an ENTRY WOUND at his temple.

It throbs and shifts with the slightest facial expression,

like an insect living just beneath his skin. One EYE seems

slightly drooping, deadened. The other eye is sharp and black

as anthracite. It is a frightening face. This is RENARD.

RENARD:

What?s his name? Our friend from MI-6?

CIGAR GIRL:

James Bond.

RENARD:

One of M?s more accomplished tin

soldiers.

CIGAR GIRL:

He could identify me.

RENARD:

If it concerns you...kill him.

He touches her cheek and moves into the room, pouring two

glasses of wine.

RENARD:

Let?s toast this James Bond. We?re in

his hands now...

CUT TO:

EXT. RIVER THAMES - LONDON - DAY

A SEAPLANE swoops over the Millennium Dome, banks along the

snaking river.
