Three Decades of James Bond 007 Page #3

---

these three MIGs here to intercept it.

What do you think the Russians

are using the base for?

Well, at one point we suspected

Severnaya might be the ground station...

for a secret space-based weapons program

called GoldenEye, but...

Our statistical analysis

saw they had...

neither the finance

nor technology to implement it.

Numbers were never

my strong suit.

Are these pictures live?

Unlike the American government, we

prefer not to get our bad news from CNN.

Negative so far.

Everything seems normal.

What the bloody hell was that?

Natalya Fyodorovna Simonova.

Natalya Fyodorovna Simonova!

Boris!

Boris!

Thanks.

Our satellite is knocked out.

So are two of the Americans.

We have another

coming into range...

now.

Good God.

Two of the MIGs are down.

And it looks like

the third went into the dish.

What do you think?

No lights.

Not one single electric light on

in a 30-mile radius.

E.M.P.?

- That explains the MIGs and satellites.

- And the blackout.

Electromagnetic Pulse:

a first-strike satellite weapon

developed by the...

The Americans and Soviets

during the Cold War.

I've read the brief.

Discovered after Hiroshima.

Set off a nuclear device

in the upper atmosphere.

Creates a pulse...

a radiation surge that destroys

everything with an electronic circuit.

The idea being to knock out

the enemy's communications...

before he, she, or they

could retaliate.

So, GoldenEye exists.

Yes.

- Could this be an accident?

- No.

The helicopter.

If you wanted to steal the GoldenEye,

it was the perfect getaway vehicle.

Setting off the blast was the ideal way

to wipe out any trace of the crime.

The Janus group?

It may have been involved

with the helicopter.

I know the Russian

failsafe systems.

You don't just walk in

and ask for the keys to the bomb.

You need the access codes.

It had to be an insider.

And at least one person

probably knows who it is.

Very well, sir.

Thank you. Good night.

The Prime Minister's

talked to Moscow.

They're saying it was an accident

during a routine training exercise.

Governments change.

The lies stay the same.

What else do we know about

the Janus syndicate?

Topflight arms dealers,

headquartered in St. Petersburg.

The first outfit to restock

the Iraqis during the Gulf War.

The head man's unreliably described.

No photographs.

The woman, Onatopp...

is our only confirmed contact.

- Would you care for a drink?

- Thank you.

- Your predecessor kept cognac in the...

- I prefer bourbon.

- Ice?

- Yes.

We've pulled the files on

anyone who might have had access...

or authority at Severnaya.

The top name on the list is

an old friend of yours, I understand.
