Die Another Day

PUKCH`ONG COAST, NORTH KOREA

Look, what is this? I`m supposed to...

Colonel Tan-Sun Moon`s HQ

De-Militarised Zone, North Korea

Open the bag.

That will teach you to lecture me.

Retract the blast doors.

Find me a new anger therapist.

I am Zao.

You are late.

Mr Van Bierk. l`ve been

looking forward to this meeting.

Me, too.

My African military friends

owe you many thanks, Colonel Moon.

Few men have the guts to trade

conflict diamonds since the UN embargo.

I know all about the UN.

I studied at Oxford and Harvard.

Majored in Western hypocrisy.

From your modest little collection of cars,

I would never have guessed.

- Show me the diamonds.

- Show me the weapons.

Bring the weapons.

Hiding weapons in the demilitarised zone.

It`s a bit of a minefield out there.

America`s cultural contribution.

One million land mines,

and my hovercrafts float right over them.

RPGs, flamethrowers, automatic weapons

and enough ammunition

to run a small war.

My diamonds?

Check it over quick.

- Don`t blow it all at once.

- I`ve special plans for this consignment.

His name is James Bond.

A British assassin.

Mr Van Bierk,

let me show you something.

Our new tank buster.

- Depleted uranium shells, naturally.

- Naturally.

And how do you propose to kill me now...

Mr Bond?

It`s pathetic that you British still believe

you have the right to police the world.

But you will not live to see the day

all Korea is ruled by the North.

Then you and I

have something in common.

Who is it?

Where`s my son?

It`s the General.

Hello, Father.

Why is there a fire?

I`ll be there in five minutes.

Get the weapons out of here...

and kill the spy.

Saved by the bell.

My son is dead.

I don`t condone what they do here.

Tell it to the concierge.

Still you jest.

Defiant to the last.

Your people have abandoned you.

Your very existence denied.

Why stay silent?

It doesn`t matter any more.

Things are out of my hands.

We reach the end, Mr Bond.

Spare me the unpleasantries.

carved Korea in two.

And then you arrive.

A British spy. An assassin.

And now the hardliners have their proof

we cannot trust the West.

You...

You took away my son.

Your firing squad

should have done the job for me.

I hoped a Western education would help

him become a bridge between our worlds.

But all it did was to corrupt him.

Let`s get this over with, shall we?

My son had an ally in the West.

For the last time, who was it?

Who made him betray

his country and his name?

The same person who betrayed me.

Turn around!

Start walking.

Keep walking, please.

Keep moving.

Zao!

I`m being traded.

- For you.

- Keep moving. Keep walking, please.

Your time will come.

Not as soon as yours.

Keep walking, please.

Look at him.

You`d think he was some kind of a hero.

OK, hold him tight.

- Watch his legs now.

- All right, let`s go.

No biological agents

in the prelim scan. He`s clean.

Pulse 72.

Blood pressure 120 over 80.

Indications of neurotoxins, histamine,

serotonin, enzyme inhibitors.

Scorpion venom.

Also traces of a venom antiserum.

They`d sting him,

then administer the antidote.

Yet his internal organs seem unaffected.

Liver not too good.

It`s definitely him, then.

Morning.

Welcome back.

Such hospitality.

You don`t seem too pleased to see me.

If I`d had my way,

you`d still be in North Korea.

Your freedom came at too high a price.

Zao.

He tried to blow up a summit

between South Korea and China.

Took out three Chinese agents

before he was caught.

And now he`s free.

I never asked to be traded.

- I`d rather die in prison than let him loose.
