Cover:
North African Trade Convention.

Real reason:
new directive.

Minister, in view of the importance

of what Mr. Koskov has just told us,

I believe we should

consult with higher authority.

By all means.

Good day, Mr. Koskov.

Good day, sir.

There you go.

There's a good lad.

- Good morning.

- Put it down there, would you?

Ta.

Green Four to base.

Green Four, this is Control.

Where are you?

Aaaargh!

Green Four, do you read me?

Green Four to base. We have

gas leaks in main building.

Some personnel overcome. Evacuate and

send for emergency medical services.

Control to Green Four. I read you.

(PA) Control to all stations: code 10.

Initiate emergency drill.

- (alarm)

- Evacuate the main building. Emergency...

Green Four to base: major gas explosion.

Keep clear of the main building.

KGB!

Keep back, everybody!

- Get up.

- Don't kill me. Don't kill me!

- Move. Move!

- Emergency services have been called.

Keep clear of the main building.

Keep clear of the main building.

Assistance is on its way.

- Who's that for?

- You, comrade.

Help him or I kill you both.

Move. Hurry.

(siren)

(PA) Please keep calm.

Stay away from the house.

Please don't use your private radio phones.

Two dead, two in hospital, and Koskov

probably back in Moscow, if not dead.

We're the laughing stock

of the Intelligence community.

Our first major coup in years, snatched

from right under our noses by the KGB,

only hours after he defected.

- No trace of him?

- Nothing.

- Then there's this Pushkin matter.

- Mm. Well, I must be off.

Meeting with the PM this afternoon.

We have to nip

Smiert Spionom in the bud.

Pushkin should be in Tangiers

in two days' time.

A termination warrant

has been issued for him.

This plot to kill agents sounds

rather far-fetched. I know General Pushkin.

Do you think I don't?

I've dealt with him on several occasions.

Our paths have crossed over the years.

He's tough and resourceful, but...

- I can't believe he's a psychotic.

- Neither did I until today.

This arrived in Gibraltar.

It was found near 004's body.

Your name was on Pushkin's list too, 007.

There are a few things I'd like to check out

first, sir. That sniper, for instance.

Yes, I've read Saunders' report.

You jeopardized the mission

to avoid shooting her.

Not exactly, sir.

I had to make a split-second decision.

- It was instinct.

- I'll recall 008 from Hong Kong.

He can do it. He doesn't know Pushkin.

He follows orders, not instincts.

- You can take a fortnight's leave.

- No...

Sir.

If it has to be done... I'd rather do it.

(Q) Right, bring it down slowly.

Gently, now.

- Morning, Q.

- Morning, 007.
