PULL BACK to reveal KRONSTEEN ('No. 5') and MACADAMS sittingacross from each other at a chess table, the 1st and 2nd UMPIRES, an ATTENDANT and SPECTATORS. Kronsteen smokes a cigarette and flicks an ash into an ashtray.
KRONSTEEN moves his white knight and takes Macadam's black bishop, setting it beside many other black pieces. KRONSTEEN
Check. Kronsteen clicks a timer. OVER KRONSTEEN'S SHOULDER Macadams looks thoughtfully at the board.

Kronsteen and puts a glass of water and a mat in front of him. STILL CLOSER Kronsteen stares at the waiter, whose hand still grips the
glass. The hand backs away and Kronsteen picks up the glassand the mat. He starts to drink then looks through the glass. We hear the clock still ticking.
KRONSTEEN'S POV - THE GLASS AND MAT Seen through the bottom of the glass on the mat are the words: 'YOU ARE REQUIRED
AT ONCE.' KRONSTEEN sets the glass down and dabs the mat against his lips.

DISSOLVE TO:
EXT. BLOFELD'S ('NO. 1') YACHT - WIDE ANGLE - DAY
The yacht rests in a bay.
EXT. BLOFELD'S CABIN - SAME TIME
A GUARD with a machine gun over his shoulder comes downstairs, Kronsteen following and looking around. The guard rings adoorbell to Blofeld's cabin. Kronsteen looks back and sees a SECOND ARMED GUARD coming down the stairs.
INT. BLOFELD'S CABIN - SAME TIME
ROSA KLEB is looking into a desktop aquarium. She moves backwards looking down at it.
BLOFELD (O.S.)Siamese fighting fish. Fascinating creatures. Brave, but on the whole, stupid.
KLEB'S POV - THE AQUARIUM
Three fish swim in it.
BLOFELD (O.S.)
Yes, they're stupid.
CLOSE SHOT - BLOFELD'S LAP
A white cat rests in his lap and he pets it.
BLOFELD (O.S.)Except for the occasional one suchas we have here...
CLOSE SHOT - AQUARIUM
The fish swim around each other and then, in quick cuts, fighteach other.
BLOFELD (O.S.)...who lets the other two fightwhile he waits... waits until the survivor is so exhausted that he cannot defend himself.
7.
KLEB
watches the aquarium.
CLOSE SHOT - AQUARIUM
The fish continue to fight.
BLOFELD (O.S.)And then, like SPECTRE, he strikes. CLOSE-UP - KLEB KLEB I find the parallel -- amusing. CLOSE SHOT - BLOFELD'S CAT Blofeld handles the cat.
BLOFELD (O.S.)Our organization did not arrangefor you to come over from theRussians...
ANGLE ON KLEB OVER BLOFELD BLOFELD (continuing)...just for amusement, Number
Three. CLOSE SHOT - CONSOLE Blofeld pushes one of four buttons on his desk.
[END OF REEL 1. START REEL 2.]
BLOFELD'S POV - KLEB
stands in f.g. as a door behind her opens and Kronsteen enters.
BLOFELD Come in, Kronsteen. Sit down, Number Three...
CLOSE SHOT - BLOFELD'S CAT
He continues to stroke it.
BLOFELD ... while we listen to what Number Five has devised for us.
8.
CLOSE-UP - KLEB
KLEB
I hope Kronsteen's efforts as
Director of Planning will continue
to be as successful as his chess.
CLOSE-UP - KRONSTEEN
KRONSTEEN
They will be. According to your
instructions, I have planned for
SPECTRE to steal from the Russians
their new Lektor decoding machine.
For this we need the services of a
female member of the Russian
cryptograph section in Turkey and
- uh - the help of the British Secret Service.
CLOSE-UP - KLEB
Listening, she looks up at Kronsteen.
KRONSTEEN (O.S.)
(continuing)
Naturally, neither the Russians nor
the British will be aware...
CLOSE-UP - BLOFELD'S CAT
He continues to pet it.
KRONSTEEN (O.S.)
(continuing)
...that they are now working for
us.
BLOFELD (O.S.)
Number Three, is your section ready
to carry out Kronsteen's directives?
CLOSE-UP - KLEB
KLEB
Yes, Number One. The operation
will be organized according to
Kronsteen's plan. I have selected
a suitable girl from the Russian
Consulate in Istanbul. She's
capable, cooperative, and her
loyalty to the State is beyond
question.
9.
WIDE ANGLE OVER BLOFELD AT KLEB AND KRONSTEEN
BLOFELD
And you're absolutely sure she
believes you're still...
CLOSE-UP - BLOFELD'S CAT
He continues to stroke it.
BLOFELD
(continuing)
... head of operations for Soviet
Intelligence?
CLOSE-UP - KLEB
KLEB
It is most unlikely she would know
I'm now working for SPECTRE.
Moscow has kept my defection secret
from everyone but a few members of
the Presidium.
CLOSE SHOT - BLOFELD'S CAT
As he stroke it:
BLOFELD For your sake, I hope so.
BLOFELD'S POV - KLEB AND KRONSTEEN
BLOFELD (O.S.)
Kronsteen, you're sure this plan is
foolproof?
KRONSTEEN (tapping a cigarette
against its case)
Yes, it is, because I have
anticipated every possible
variation of counter-move.
CLOSE SHOT - BLOFELD'S CAT
As he strokes it:
BLOFELD
But what makes you think that 'M,'
the head of British intelligence,
will oblige you by falling in with
your plan?
10.
CLOSE-UP - KRONSTEEN
KRONSTEEN
For the simple reason that it is soobviously a trap.
(he starts to put thecigarette into hismouth then lowers it)
My reading of the British mentality is that they always treat a trap asa challenge. And in any case, theycouldn't possibly pass up even theslightest chance of getting theirhands on a Lektor decoder. Theyhave wanted one for years.
CLOSE SHOT - BLOFELD'S CAT
As he strokes it: BLOFELD (O.S.)
Um-hmm. All that you say could be
true. What else?
CLOSE-UP - KRONSTEEN
KRONSTEEN
As an added refinement, I think
that SPECTRE would probably have
the added chance of a personal
revenge for the killing of our
operative, Doctor No. Because the
man the British will almost
certainly use on a mission of this
sort would be their agent, James
Bond.
ANGLE OVER BLOFELD AT KLEB AND KRONSTEEN
BLOFELD
Let his death be a particularly
unpleasant and humiliating one.
KRONSTEEN
Good. I shall put my plan into
operation straightaway.
KLEB
looks at Kronsteen.

KRONSTEEN
KRONSTEEN And there will be no failure. CUT TO:

KLEB
My time is limited. Is the man I

Morzeny hands her a file.
MORZENY

KLEB
Good.
Kleb look at the file.
KLEB
Donald Grant, convicted murderer.
Escaped Dartmoor Prison in nineteen
sixty. Recruited in Tangier
nineteen sixty-two. Excellent!
Where is he now?
Rhoda turns to Morzeny.
RHODA
At the Lake.
MORZENY Bring him to my office, will you?
Morzeny touches Kleb's elbow as if to escort her; she backsaway repulsed.
KLEB
Take me to the Lake.
MORZENY
(pointing)
Through the training area.
MOVING SHOT
Kleb, Morzeny and Rhoda walk across the grounds.
MORZENY
This Grant's one of the best men
we've ever had. Homicidal
paranoiac, superb material. Though
his methods were a little crude,
his response to our training and
indoctrination have been
remarkable.
13.
EXT. KILLING SCHOOL - MOVING SHOT
Kleb, Morzeny and Rhoda walk along a series of galleries wheremen fire at targets. Other men in judo garb break cinderblocks in f.g. In another gallery, a man fires a flamethrower at a running man. Two men fight with knives. In yetanother gallery, men practice judo.
MORZENY
I hope our work here meets with
your approval?
KLEB Training is useful, but there is nosubstitute for experience.
MORZENY I agree. We use live targets aswell.

Grant reclines on his back as the masseuse works on one of his arms. A trampoline and barbell lay nearby. The masseuse looks up at the visitors.
Kleb takes a step forward.
KLEB
Call him.
MORZENY
Grant!
Grant jumps to his feet and stands attention. Kleb looks at him then removes her purse from her shoulder.
Grant walks up to the visitors. He stops in front of Kleb and stands at attention. Kleb circles him, looking him over. As she does, she puts on a knuckle duster.
When Kleb arrives in front of Grant again she suddenly puncheshim hard in the stomach. He barely flinches.
14.
KLEB He seems fit enough. Have him report to me in Istanbul in twenty-four hours.
Kleb immediately turns and walks off, Morzeny and Rhodafollowing.

TANIA

Can you show me this house?
The policeman points further up the path.
POLICEMAN
(in Turkish)
It's the first door on the left.
Tania continues up the narrowing path toward the hotel, which looks more like a sinister tenement.
THROUGH AN ARCHWAY
Tania approaches the hotel, stops, looks at the paper again,looks around, then turns up a flight of stairs.
ON THE STAIRS - MOVING SHOT
Tania continues up the stairs then turns down a walkway. Suddenly a man's shadow crosses a pillar in f.g. He stopsbehind it and watches. It's Grant, in a suit and tie.
Tania stops at a door and knocks.
AT THE DOOR
MOVE IN on the door as it opens with a creak, revealing Kleb.She wears a Russian uniform.
INT. KLEB'S ROOM - WIDE ANGLE

KLEB
You know who I am?
16.
TANIA Colonel Kleb. Head of operationsfor -- for SMERSH. I saw you oncein Moscow when I worked for the English decoding crew.
KLEB Did you tell anyone at the Consulate you were coming here?
TANIA
No, the message said --
KLEB
Yes, yes. I know. I sent it.
INTERCUT - TANIA AND KLEB
Tania stands watching her, uncertain.
Kleb dons a pair of black-rimmed glasses and opens a dossier on her desk.
KLEB Your work record is excellent. The State is proud of you.
TANIA
Thank you, Comrade Colonel.
KLEB
Take off your jacket.
Tania is surprised, then unbuttons and removes her jacket.
KLEB
Turn around.
Tania obediently pivots around.
KLEB Umm. You are a fine-looking girl.
Tania glances down diffidently.
KLEB
(politely)
Sit down.
Tania sits in the chair and keeps looking at Kleb, whocontinues to scan the dossier.
KLEB I see you trained for the ballet.
17.
TANIA But I grew an inch over regulation height, and so...
KLEB And then you have had three lovers?
[Tania looks off shocked.
KLEB
Did you enjoy their attention?]
TANIA
(showing her anger)
What is the purpose of such an
intimate question?
Kleb explodes, cracking a short whip against her desk.
KLEB You are not here to ask questions!You forget to whom you arespeaking! [Did you enjoy it?]
TANIA
(softens then smiles)
I was in love.
KLEB
And if you were not in love?
TANIA (thinks deeply, then
smiles again)I suppose that would depend... on the man.
KLEB
Sensible answer.
Kleb rises from her desk.
WIDER ANGLE
We see now that Tania is sitting with her legs crossed and herskirt is raised revealing her knee.
Kleb walks to her holding a photograph, hands it to her thensits on the edge of the desk holding the whip.

Kleb rests a hand on Tania's knee but withdraws it at Tania's look of distaste. DOLLY IN CLOSER to them.
KLEB ...I have selected you for a mostimportant assignment. Its purposeis to give false information to the enemy. If you complete itsuccessfully you will be promoted.From now on you will do anything he says.
TANIA
And if I refuse?
KLEB Then you will not leave this roomalive.
Tania looks at her aghast, then regains her composure.
TANIA
I will obey your orders.
ANGLE ON KLEB
She rises from the desk, then we PAN on her as she crosses behind Tania.
KLEBGood. Now these are your instructions. You report to mehere.
TANIA
Yes.
KLEB But the Consulate security man mustnot know that I am in Istanbul. This is classified far above his level.
TANIA
I will say nothing to anyone.
DOLLY OUT as Kleb steps toward her.
19.
KLEB
If you do, you will be shot!
(she cracks thewhip hard againstthe chair, then softens)
Come, come, my dear.

The punt continues off. TILT DOWN TO REVEAL another punt,resting on the shoreline beneath a tree. Inside are Bond and SYLVIA, embracing and kissing. An ice bucket and glasses arebeside it.
BOND
I couldn't agree with him more.
SYLVIA I might even give up golf for it.
BOND
Really?
He tugs on a cord that extends between his toes into thewater, pulling up a bottle of champagne. He touches it.
BOND
Not quite.
20.
He lowers the bottle again. Sylvia notices something on his back - a scar. She runs her finger across it.
SYLVIA Ooh! Souvenir from another jealouswoman?
He turns back and slips an arm around her.
BOND Yes, but I haven't turned my backon one since.
He fully embraces her and they kiss. Suddenly a BEEPER goes off. Bond looks back, disheartened.
BOND
Excuse me.
SYLVIA

He reaches into his coat pocket and switches off the device.
WIDER ANGLE
Bond climbs out of the punt with his jacket, then turns back.

INT. MISS MONEYPENNY'S OFFICE
Unseen by Bond, 'M' stands with Miss Moneypenny at a filing cabinet behind the door. 'M' holds a file marked 'SECRET.' They look up.
Bond tosses his hat at a hat-rack and it lands perfectly on a hook. He turns to Miss Moneypenny and begins to close thedoor.
BOND
For my next miracle, I...
'M' comes into view. Bond stops cold. The others just lookat him. Chagrined, Bond gently leans against the door to shutit the rest of the way - and it creaks loudly.
23.
Wordlessly, 'M' nods to Bond to follow him. PAN ON THEM as they cross the room and pass through an open doorway into 'M's' office. BOOTHROYD ['Q'] stands just outside the officeholding a briefcase and waiting. Bond closes a padded doorbehind them.

'M' walks toward his desk, Bond following having just closedthe padded inner door.
BOND

It's absolutely crazy.
'M' Of course, girls do fall in love with pictures of film stars.
'M' stops behind his desk and gestures to Bond to sit.

'M'
Mmm.
BOND
No, it's some sort of trap.
'M'

BOND A Lektor, no less. The C.I.A.'s been after one of those for years.
24.
ANGLE ON 'M'
over Bond's shoulder. 'M' lights his pipe and sits.
'M'
Yes. So have we. When she
contacted Kerim Bey, head of
Station T, Turkey, and told him she
wanted to defect, she said she'd
turn it over to us, on one
condition: that you went out to
Istanbul and brought her and the
machine back to England.
(he takes a photo
from the file)
Here's a snapshot Kerim managed to
get of her.
BOND
takes the photo, glances at it absently, then looks up.
BOND
Well, I don't know too much about
cryptography, sir, but, uh... a
Lektor could decode their top
secret signals. The whole thing's
so fantastic, it just could be...

...true.

aiming at Grant)
All right. What is your plan?

GRANT
(slips the silencer intohis pocket and rests hisfree arm on his knee)
You may know the right wines, butyou're the one on your knees. How does it feel, old man?
BOND
'Old man'? Is that what you chaps
in SMERSH call each other?
GRANT
SMERSH?
BOND
(looks up with realization)
Of course! SPECTRE! Then it
wasn't a Russian show at all.
You've been playing us off against
each other, haven't you?
Grant stares back at him.
BOND
Then it was SPECTRE who killed the
Russian agent in the mosque. You?
GRANT
Um-hmm.
BOND
Kerim and the other man?
GRANT
Um-hmm.
BOND
And Nash?
GRANT
Well, I don't mind talking. I get
a kick out of watching the great
James Bond find out what a bloody
fool he's been making of himself.
