Mind your head.

I've got something for you.

We're just winterizing this.

Now, pay attention, 007.

A key-ring finder.

- (whistles)

- (rapid bleeping)

- Surprise me.

- You arm it by pressing that button there.

See?

Right. Now wear that.

Right. Now, whistle the first bars

of "Rule, Britannia".

(whistles)

Stun gas.

Effective range about five feet.

Disorientates any normal person

for about, ooh, 30 seconds.

You don't find too many

normal people in this business, Q.

How do I blow up the room?

Whistle "God Save the Queen"?

It so happens that we've packed the finder

with highly concentrated plastic explosive,

sufficient to remove the door of any safe.

It's magnetic.

The actuating signal is personalized.

- What's my code?

- Most appropriate. A wolf whistle.

You mean...

Stop!

You may find the keys useful.

They open 90% of the world's locks.

All right, sit down

and make yourself comfortable.

- Well done, Moneypenny. That's her.

- Records sent over this translation.

"Kara Milovy, talented scholarship cellist,

whose arm was injured

in a minor accident last week,

will be back at the academy on Thursday

with Borodin's String Quartet No. 2 in D."

That's tomorrow.

Moneypenny, I'll need travel documents

for Tangier, via Bratislava.

And keep this between ourselves.

That girl must be very talented.

Believe me, my interest in her

is purely professional.

Just taking the Aston Martin

out for a quick spin.

Be careful, 007.

It's just had a new coat of paint!

(# Borodin's String Quartet No. 2)

I dropped the gun in the river.

The KGB made quite a mess.

You're English. Who are you?

I heard you play

at the conservatoire yesterday.

It was exquisite.

I saw what happened on the tram.

Where did they take you?

KGB headquarters?

- They released me this morning.

- Take a look across the street.

They let you go so they could follow you.

I don't understand.

Why are you trying to help me?

What did Pushkin want?

Did he ask you about Georgi Koskov?

- He wanted to know where he was.

- Did you tell him?

No.

That was clever of Georgi, using blanks.

Made the British believe

his defection was real.

- How do you know that?

- He told me.

- You saw him?

- Two days ago. He's safe and sound.

- You're a friend of his?

- We've been through quite a lot together.

Dear Georgi.

He kept his promise to send for me.

Where are we going? To London?

No, not yet. The British think he'll be

safer if they keep him moving around.

- We might catch up with him in Vienna.

- Vienna?

We must leave immediately,

before they pick you up again.

- But how?

- We'll manage.

Get packed.

Bring some warm clothes.

Looks like we got away with it.
