Moonraker (1979) - full transcript

James Bond is back for another mission and this time, he is blasting off into space. A spaceship traveling through space is mysteriously hi-jacked and Bond must work quickly to find out who was behind it all. He starts with the rockets creators, Drax Industries and the man behind the organisation, Hugo Drax. On his journey he ends up meeting Dr. Holly Goodhead and encounters the metal-toothed Jaws once again.

How we doing, Richard?

We should pass over
the English coast

15 minutes ahead of time, sir.

Well, with this load on our
back, that's good going.

Just trust the RAF, sir.

- What the hell is that?
- The shuttle ignition.

Disappeared? And what
happened to the Moonraker?

Good God.

Yes, yes, of course,
Minister. Right away.

Moneypenny, is 007 back
from that African job?

He's on his last leg, sir.



Any higher, Mr Bond,
my ears will pop.

I don't think I'm ever going
to fly with anyone else.

You're so right, Mr Bond.

This is where we
leave you, Mr Bond.

A little premature, isn't it?

Enjoy your flight.

- Good morning, Moneypenny.
- James.

But why are you so late?

I fell out of an aeroplane
without a parachute.

- Who's in there?
- Q and the Minister of Defence.

You don't believe me, do you?

- And you should go right in.
- Yes, Moneypenny.

- 007. At last.
- Good morning, sir.

I think you know Frederick
Grey, Minister of Defence.

- Commander.
- Minister. Q.

007.

Moonraker?

What do you know about Moonraker?

What I read in the newspaper, sir.

Then you'll know that
Moonraker, the space shuttle,

was being flown over here

on loan from the Americans
on the back of a 747.

Yes, which crashed
somewhere in the Yukon,

aircraft and shuttle totally
destroyed, correct?

That's the official version.

The truth is rather
more disturbing, 007.

Look at this.

Now, that's the
scene of the crash.

Wreckage strewn over a large area.

That's all that's
left of the fuselage.

We've been through it
with a fine-toothed comb,

but there's no sign of
Moonraker, not a trace.

Are you suggesting the shuttle
was hijacked in mid-air?

That's for you to find out, 007.

The shuttles are built in
California by Drax Industries.

Yes. We were responsible for the
safety of that shuttle, Commander.

The United States government
is justifiably concerned.

I can imagine. Then, California
must be the place to start.

- I agree.
- Don't make any mistakes, 007.

The situation is critical. We've
got to find that shuttle.

Yes, sir.

If that's all, gentlemen...

Just a minute, 007. I've
got something for you.

Roll up your right
sleeve, will you?

This is now being issued
as standard equipment.

Strap it on your wrist.

It's activated by nerve impulses
from the wrist muscles.

Like this?

Oh, thank you, 007.

- Be careful, will you?
- Yes, Q.

Ten darts, five blue-tipped
with armour piercing heads,

five red-tipped, cyanide coated,
causing death in 30 seconds.

Very novel, Q. You must get them
in the stores for Christmas.

Good morning, gentlemen.

- Welcome to California, Mr Bond.
- I like it already.

My name is Corinne Dufour.

Oh, and you're going to be showing
me around, are you, Corinne?

No. I'm just a humble pilot in the
service of the Drax Corporation.

This is the Drax estate now.

Everything you see
belongs to Mr Drax.

Owns a lot, doesn't he?

What he doesn't own,
he doesn't want.

We're approaching the
main complex now.

That's where the Moonraker
shuttle is made?

That's right, workshops, hangars,

design and experimental blocks,
test centres, everything.

Very impressive.

I'd heard that Hugo
Drax is obsessed

with the conquest of space.

Now, I can believe it. Good Lord.

The Drax residence. Every
stone brought from France.

- Cute, isn't it?
- Magnificent.

Why didn't he buy the
Eiffel Tower as well?

He did, but the French government
refused him an export permit.

Look there. Those are
the astronaut trainees.

Mr Drax is financing the entire

training program out
of his own pocket.

He seems to have an eye
for a good investment.

Mr Drax will see Mr Bond in the
drawing room, Miss Dufour.

- Thank you, Cavendish.
- This way, please, sir.

Mr Bond, sir.

- Mr Bond.
- Mr Drax.

Allow me to present, before they
leave us, Countess Lubinski,

Lady Victoria Devon, Mr Bond.

How do you do?

Well, my dear fellow, your

reputation precedes
you, of course.

I'm honoured that your
government should

send you on so delicate a mission.

Delicate, Mr Drax?

Well, to apologise in person for
the loss of my space shuttle.

How would Oscar Wilde have put it?

"To lose one aircraft may be
regarded as a misfortune,

"to lose two seems
like carelessness."

Well, an apology will be made to
the American government, Mr Drax,

when we've discovered
why there was no

trace of the Moonraker
in that wreckage.

And your loyalty commands
respect, Mr Bond.

You have arrived at a
propitious moment,

coincident with your country's
one indisputable contribution

to Western civilisation.

Afternoon tea.

May I press you to a
cucumber sandwich?

Thank you, no, nothing at all.

The shuttle, is it made
entirely here in California?

No. I own a number of subsidiaries
throughout the world,

producing components.

The conquest of space represents
an investment in the future

of the entire human race, Mr Bond.

It is, therefore,
logical to seek out

the best that each
nation has to offer.

Are you referring to
people or skills?

Both, Mr Bond.

- Am I too soon?
- Not at all.

I'm sure Mr Bond is eager
to start his tour.

Miss Dufour will escort you to Dr
Goodhead who will show you around.

Ask anything you like.

Thank you for being
so cooperative.

A pleasure.

Look after Mr Bond. See that
some harm comes to him.

You'll find Dr Goodhead
first on the right.

- Oh. Thank you for the ride.
- Call on me if you need anything.

Good afternoon.

- Can I help you?
- Yes. My name is Bond.

James Bond. I'm looking
for Dr Goodhead.

- You just found her.
- A woman.

Your powers of observation
do you credit, Mr Bond.

James, to my friends.

Holly Goodhead.

Are you training to
be an astronaut?

I'm fully trained.

On loan from NASA, the
Space Administration.

Well, Mr Bond, I guess
we'd better get started.

You don't want to lose time as
well as a space shuttle, do you?

This is it, the Moonraker.

Capable of being launched
into space by rocket...

Orbiting the Earth and re-entering
the atmosphere to land

like any conventional aircraft.

This is the centrifuge training.

It simulates the gravity force
you feel when shot into space.

The speed is controlled by the
instructor from up there.

Why not try it?

Why not?

- Strap yourself in firmly.
- Yes, Doctor.

Now your arms.

That's to prevent you from
knocking yourself out.

I see.

How fast does it go?

It can go up to 20 Gs,
but that would be fatal.

Three Gs is equivalent
to take-off pressure.

Most people pass out at seven.

You make a great saleswoman.

You don't have to worry. This is
what we call a "Chicken Switch."

You just keep your
finger on that button,

the moment the pressure gets too
much for you, release the button

- and the power's cut off.
- Just like that?

Come on, Mr Bond. A
70-year-old can take 3 Gs.

Well, the trouble
is there is never a

70-year-old around
when you need one.

- You want me?
- Mr Drax says to telephone him.

All right, I'll call
him from my office.

You go ahead. I'll be right back.

The instructor will supervise
the session. Enjoy yourself.

Yes. We're taking
good care of him.

I don't know what
could've happened.

Something must've gone
wrong with the controls.

Let me help you.

My mother gave me a list of
things not to do on a first date.

Maybe you won't need it.
That's not what I came for.

No. What do you want then?

Would your feelings be shattered
if I were to say information?

- Why should I tell you anything?
- Why, indeed?

You presume a great deal, Mr Bond.

What goes on here besides the
manufacture of Moonraker?

And the astronaut
training program?

There are other laboratories,
but not much is happening now.

No?

They were working
on something very

secret, but everything's
been moved.

Where to?

I don't know.

What about that list
of your mother's?

I never learned to read.

What are you doing?

You whetted my appetite
for information.

Is there a safe in
here? Thank you.

James, no.

That's amazing.

There you are, you see?
You have a heart of gold.

Eighteen carat.

You must go.

Well, you go first. I'll
turn off the lights.

Thank you.

- Take care of yourself.
- And you.

Ah, my dear Bond.

This is Mademoiselle Deladier
and La Signorina Del Mateo.

- Ladies.
- I'll see you at lunch.

A pity you leave us.
Such good sport.

Unless you're a pheasant.

Really, Mr Bond. Take my gun,
a stray bird may fly over.

I only stopped to thank
you for your hospitality.

Fraser will get you to the
airport in plenty of time.

Come now.

- I doubt if I'm in your class.
- Oh, you're too modest, Mr Bond.

Over there.

You missed, Mr Bond.

Did I?

As you said, such good sport.

You called for me, Mr Drax.

You were with Bond last
night in my study.

No, I...

- You showed him the safe.
- I didn't.

I'm terminating your employment.
You will leave immediately.

Franco, I'll call you to
tell you where to meet me.

(AGREEING IN ITALIAN)

Could I interest you in something?

Why, I'm tempted to
say yes immediately.

But I think maybe I'd
better have a look around.

Please. Go anywhere you wish.

And in 1955, the Venini
Museum and Glass Works

was taken over by Drax Industries.

And here, ladies and gentlemen, we
have some of the rarest examples

of the glassblower's art.

As you know, everything was
done absolutely by hand.

Here is a vase done
by Lorenzo Graziati,

sometime between 1850 and 1860. If
you'd like to follow me over here.

This exquisite bowl was fashioned
about 1520, over 450 years ago.

If it ever came on the market,
it would certainly fetch a price

in excess of one million
American dollars.

But if any of you are
thinking of taking it...

Now, we have here a very
early 17th century dish

with an aquamarine medallion.

Over here, we have something
very, very interesting.

This glass-handled sword,

the only one of its
kind in the world,

was owned by General Menotti
in the late 18th century

and is the work of Bruno...

14th century.

Dr Goodhead.

I can only hope your presence
here is a coincidence, Mr Bond.

- I dislike being spied on.
- Well, don't we all?

You're staying at the
Danieli, aren't you?

Yes. How did you know?

Well, I like to keep
abreast of things.

May I ask what you're
doing in Venice?

I'm addressing a seminar of the
European Space Commission.

My, heavy stuff.

But there again, I keep
forgetting that you are

more than just a very
beautiful woman.

If you're trying to
be ingratiating,

Mr Bond, don't bother.

I have more important
things on my mind.

Ah, that's what I'd like
to talk to you about.

Dinner this evening?

This evening I'm
giving my address.

Well, then, can you
think of reason

why we don't have a
drink afterwards?

Not immediately. But
I'm sure I shall.

Franco.

(YELLING IN ITALIAN)

(SPEAKING IN ITALIAN)

Play it again, Sam.

What the hell are you doing here?

Convalescing.

Your friend Cha just
tried to kill me.

And you think I had
something to do with it?

Well, the thought had
flashed across my mind.

What's Drax up to
in that laboratory?

Why don't you ask him yourself?

You leaving me your
telephone number?

I don't see the point.

Ah, now I do.

Not what I want to get
stuck with tonight.

James, why don't you
pour yourself a drink?

Thank you.

Daily diary.

Fairly deadly diary.

Bollinger. If it's '69,
you were expecting me.

Trifle overpowering, your scent.

Standard CIA equipment.

And the CIA placed you
with Drax, correct?

- Very astute of you, James.
- Oh, not really.

I have friends in low places.

Could this possibly be the moment
for us to pool our resources?

It could have its compensations.

Where are you planning
on going from here?

I'm not planning
on going anywhere.

Oh, I suppose you're
right, Holly. We

would be better off
working together.

- Detente?
- Agreed.

- Understanding?
- Possibly.

- Cooperation?
- Maybe.

- Trust?
- Out of the question.

Send the night porter up for
my bags immediately, please.

(GUARD SPEAKING ITALIAN)

I hope you know what
you're doing, Bond.

I've played bridge
with this fellow Drax.

007 doesn't usually push the panic

button unless it's
something serious.

- I should hope not.
- Good morning, Inspector.

- Good morning.
- I see you've covered everything

- with our Italian friends.
- Yes, sir.

(SPEAKING ITALIAN)

- Is this it?
- Yes, sir.

(SPEAKING ITALIAN)

Gas masks?

We can't afford to take
any chances, Minister.

Frederick Grey. What a surprise.

And in distinguished company,
all wearing gas masks.

You must excuse me,
gentlemen, not being English,

I sometimes find your sense of
humour rather difficult to follow.

On behalf of the British
government, I apologise.

I think you owe us
an explanation, 007.

I've never been so
humiliated in my life.

Your man should be taken
off the assignment.

I'll see you at the consulate.

I'll have to do what he says.

Well, before you do that, sir,
have Q do an analysis of this.

I took it from the laboratory.

Tell him to exercise extreme
caution. It is lethal.

So, there was a laboratory.

You better take two weeks
leave of absence, 007.

Do have any thoughts about
where you might go?

I've always had a hankering
to go to Rio, sir.

I think I can recall
your mentioning it.

007, no slip ups or
we're both in trouble.

Yes, a minor crisis
has been averted.

No, no, nothing serious,
but all merchandise

is to be rerouted as from today.

Now, regarding a
replacement for Cha,

do you have someone in mind?

Oh, yes, well, if you
can get him, of course.

Flight BA 128 to Rio de Janeiro
now boarding, gate number seven.

Welcome to Rio, Mr Bond.

(SPEAKING PORTUGUESE)

- The President Suite.
- Really?

Well, don't bother showing me the

rest. If I get lost,
I'll take a cab.

- Do you come with the suite?
- It depends who's renting it.

Vodka Martini? Shaken not stirred.

Why were you following
me from the airport?

I was trying to meet
you. My name is Manuela.

I work for Station VH. We have
been asked to assist you.

M thinks of everything.

Tell me, Manuela, do the initials
C and W mean anything to you?

C and W? Yes, Carlos
and Wilmsberg.

They are very big
importers in Rio.

A subsidiary of the
Drax Group, I believe.

They have a warehouse
on Carioca Avenue.

I'd like to pay it a
discreet visit tonight.

Tonight? I think you may find
that a little difficult.

Difficult or not, it's
something we have to do.

And meanwhile,

how do you kill five hours
in Rio if you don't samba?

- There's the warehouse.
- And not a soul about.

I think there's a way
around the back.

Good thinking.

This is it.

Don't talk to any strange
men. I'll be back.

Are you all right?

Yes, but I'd rather
dance with you.

I did tell you not to
talk to any strange men.

- Did you find anything in there?
- Only this.

"Drax Air Freight."

Do you know which airport
they operate from?

Yes. San Pietro. Do you
want me to take you there?

No, I think you need some rest.

- Come on. I'll drop you off.
- Okay.

Haven't we met before somewhere?

The face is familiar,
as is the manner.

It's become distinctly
chilly since Venice.

Well, that was before
you walked out on me.

Yes, nearly tripping over your

suitcase on the way
through the door.

So?

So why waste time working
against each other?

I've checked Drax's warehouse
in town. It's empty.

That's no surprise.
Since I've been here,

those planes have been
taking off every two hours.

- Yes. He's moving out.
- Where to?

That's what we're
going to find out,

now that we're working together.

I still don't know if I trust you.

I don't know if I
trust you either.

That's what makes it more
exciting, doesn't it?

- What's wrong?
- I don't know.

But I'm sure we're
better off out than in.

Bring that chain.

- Hang on, James.
- The thought had occurred to me.

I might have guessed.

- Do you know him?
- Not socially.

His name's Jaws. He kills people.

Here, give me the chain.

Come on. Hang on to me.

Jump.

- Have you broken something?
- Only my tailor's heart.

- What was that for?
- For saving my life.

Remind me to do it more often.

Oh, thank you, but
we're in great shape.

Sorry about that.

(SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

James. You look as though you've
just fallen off a mountain.

Well, it's funny you should
say that, Moneypenny.

As a matter of fact, I was
in a cable car and...

- Never mind.
- The other courtyard.

- Ah, there you are, 007.
- Balls, Q?

Bolas, 007.

Good. Have that
ready for Army Day.

Yes, sir.

- Where's M?
- He's in the office over there.

This way.

- Good morning, 007.
- Good morning, sir.

- You're just in time. Sit down.
- Thank you, sir.

- Q's come up with something.
- Splendid.

- Any news of Dr Goodhead?
- Afraid not. Right, Q.

Well, it's a breakdown
on that phial

of liquid you picked up in Venice.

You know, you seem
to be right, 007.

Thank you.

It's a highly toxic nerve gas that

appears to have no
effect on animals.

May I see the formula?

It's a chemical
formula of a plant.

Orchideae anegra. A very
rare orchid indeed.

Yes. It was thought to be extinct.

Until a missionary
brought one back

from the upper reaches
of the Amazoco.

Well, actually he brought it back

from the area of the
River Tapirape.

Well done, James. You better
get up there and fast.

And I've got something
to get him there,

if 007 can be trusted
to look after it.

Mr Bond, you defy all my attempts
to plan an amusing death for you.

You're not a sportsman, Mr Bond.

Why did you break off the
encounter with my pet python?

I discovered he had a crush on me.

Jaws.

What exactly are you
up to here, Drax?

- And why the orchids?
- The curse of a civilisation.

It was neither war nor pestilence
that wiped out the race

who built the great
city lying around us.

It was their reverence
for this lovely flower.

Because long-term exposure to
its pollen caused sterility.

Correct, Mr Bond.

As you discovered, I have
improved upon sterility.

Those same seeds now yield death.

Not, of course, to
animals or plant life.

One must preserve the
balance of nature.

Moonraker launch program

- Minus ten...
- Drax, one more thing.

You delivered a shuttle
to the US government,

then you hijacked it. Why?

Because I needed it.

One of my own Moonrakers developed
a fault during assembly.

Now, you have
distracted me enough.

Jaws, Mr Bond must be
cold after his swim.

Place him where he can
be assured of warmth.

- LECF to internal power.
- CAA retracted.

Moonraker Six cleared for
launch. T minus 10 seconds.

Nine, eight, seven,
six, five, four,

three, two, one, go.

It's all right. We're on a
prearranged flight program.

That's Drax in Moonraker Five.

- What about the others?
- I don't know. Let's see.

We're all on parallel courses.

So, we must be headed for
a rendezvous in orbit.

Let's see what cargo we have.

- The animals went in two by two.
- What do you mean by that?

Noah's Ark. This operation.

We're converging.

- Control rockets?
- Yes, we're slowing down.

What's that?

There's no image on
the radar scanner.

An entire city in space and still
nothing on the radar scanner.

So nobody on Earth
knows it's there.

Right.

Drax must have a
radar-jamming system.

All Moonrakers prepare to
initiate docking procedures

and continue radio silence.

Moonraker Six, you are now in
manual. Initiate docking sequence.

All shuttles now docked. Execute
station activation procedure.

Gravity, normal conditions.
Life-support system, nominal.

Moonraker Six technicians,
commence operational sequence.

- Sequence four initiated.
- Check airlock seals.

Moonraker One and
Three to M1 segment.

Moonraker Four and
Five to M4 segment.

Moonraker Two to M5 segment.

Units four and seven,
man console as planned.

Units one, three, five and six,
assume pre-assigned stations.

- Pressure online?
- Confirmed.

- Life support?
- Normal.

Those are the globes
I saw in Venice

with the nerve gas phials inside.

First there was a dream.
Now there is reality.

Here in the untainted
cradle of the heavens

will be created a new superace,

a race of perfect
physical specimens.

You have been selected as
its progenitors, like gods.

Your offspring will
return to Earth

and shape it in their image.

You have all served in humble

capacities in my
terrestrial empire.

Your seed, like yourselves,

will pay deference to the ultimate

dynasty which I
alone have created.

From their first day on Earth
they will be able to look up

and know that there is law
and order in the heavens.

All units, start Operation Orchid.

If we were visible from
Earth, they'd investigate.

Where do you suppose that
radar-jamming system is?

We didn't pass anything on the
way here, so let's try this way.

Station two, check
coordinates, mode four.

Initiate globe launch
timing sequence.

Orbital communicator,
level 10. Zero gravity.

This is it, the
radar-jamming system.

- Coordinate conversion program.
- Check.

- Side lobe gain.
- Check.

- Spectral response.
- Check.

Spin stabiliser correction factor.

Okay.

Gigahertz reflector efficiency.

Solar photon screen.

Where did you learn to
fight like that? NASA?

No, Vassar.

- Switched off?
- Permanently.

Now we can be spotted from Earth.

This doesn't look good at all.

It's over 200 metres in diameter.

Yes, yes.

Will you please listen, General
Gogol? We didn't put it up there.

Neither did we, Colonel Scott.
So what are you suggesting?

We've taken action already. We're
sending up a vehicle to intercept.

Very well, but if we don't hear
from you in the next 12 hours

we take action
ourselves and hold you

responsible for the consequences.

We'll be in touch, General.

- Sorry to have woken you.
- I was already awake.

How can I sleep?
Nothing but problems.

Problems, problems.

Marine astronauts to launch pad.

Launch pre-program complete, sir.

Launch globe number one.

T.D.R.S.S. reports a launch, sir.
Continental U.S.A. Vandenberg.

There are no launches scheduled.
Check radar-jamming system.

Well?

Jamming power supply and
backup have failed, sir.

Investigate immediately.

Investigate number
28, immediately.

James Bond.

You appear with the tedious

inevitability of
an unloved season.

I didn't think there were
any seasons in space.

As far as you're
concerned, only winter.

And the treacherous Dr Goodhead.

Despite your efforts,
my finely wrought

dream approaches its fulfilment.

Your dream, whatever
sort of nightmare

it is, hasn't a chance, Drax.

You think not? We shall see.

We're coming up to
second launch position.

Launch globe number two.

No doubt you have realised the
splendour of my conception.

First, a necklace of
death about the Earth.

50 globes, each releasing its
nerve gas over a designated area,

each capable of killing
100 million people.

And the human race as you
know it will cease to exist.

Then a rebirth, a new world.

US spacecraft on course
to intercept us, sir.

Activate laser. Prepare
to destroy spacecraft.

You see, my dear Bond,
we're well able to

protect ourselves
against all enemies.

Allow me to introduce you
to the airlock chamber.

Observe, Mr Bond, your route
from this world to the next.

And you, Dr Goodhead.

Your desire to be America's
first woman in space

will shortly be fulfilled.

Leaving you on your
flying stud farm,

conceiving your new master race?

If you like, yes.

And of course, anyone
not measuring up

to your standards of
physical perfection

- will be exterminated.
- Certainly.

Interesting.

Most interesting.

Jaws, expel them.

Jaws. You obey me.

Expel them.

Hold them.

Sir, US spacecraft, three
minutes to intercept.

Stand by to laser it.

- Initiate firing sequence.
- Initiating.

US spacecraft in laser
range, 25.5 and closing.

Range 15.

Range 10.

Prepare to fire. Five,
four, three, two...

It's stopped rotating.

Open the cargo doors.

Number one platoon, EVA.

Number one platoon, EVA.

Let's try docking.

Colonel Scott will take
the first landing.

Intruders have docked at
satellite seven, sir.

Double the guard at every
entrance in this satellite.

Report intruders' progress
throughout the space station.

Number three globe ready
for launching, sir.

Proceed.

Group One, attack enemy.
All units shoot to kill.

- Colonel Scott, don't shoot.
- Hold your fire.

Corridor five
penetrated. Intruders

advancing on Command satellite.

Maintenance crew
needed, section three.

At least I shall have the pleasure
of putting you out of my misery.

Desolated, Mr Bond?

Heartbroken, Mr Drax.

Allow me.

Take a giant step for mankind.

- Where's Drax?
- He had to fly.

How's Scott doing? He's got
control of the Command satellite.

We put the launching gear for
the globes out of action.

When the station
breaks up, they'll

disintegrate. They'll harm no one.

But the three that have gone,
they'll kill millions.

Those three must be destroyed.

Come on.

Colonel, get your men off
as quickly as possible.

Your mission is completed.

Sergeant, round up your men, get
them back to the shuttle. Fast.

Back to the shuttle,
everybody. On the double.

Moonraker Five, that's the answer.

Drax's shuttle is
armed with a laser.

We can track those
globes and destroy them.

It's hopeless, sir. The corridor's
blocked. They can't get to us now.

All right, let's go.

Docking release system is jammed.

Release the door lock. I'll see
if I can operate it manually.

It's jammed too.

Well, here's to us.

Jaws, we can't disengage. The
docking release system is jammed.

Can you help us?

We're free.

Don't worry, they'll make it.
It's only 100 miles to Earth.

Let's get a read-out
on those globes.

I have the three
globes on the screen.

We should have a
visual in a minute.

There it is.

The laser's on
automatic. Code 945 set.

One down, two to go.

Number two straight ahead.

What is it?

We're skipping on the
Earth's atmosphere.

In range.

- We should see the last one soon.
- There it is.

- It's getting hot.
- It can't be helped.

I'm coming in at a
steeper angle than I

should in order to
catch that last globe.

I can't hold this
course much longer.

We'll break up at 200,000 feet.

Just a few seconds more.

Automatic firing
system negative. Must

be the heat. Switching to manual.

Controls aren't responding.

- The wings are beginning to glow.
- Just hold her steady.

Steady.

It's entering Earth's atmosphere.
James, this is our last chance.

Steady.

Colonel Scott reports
picking up two

survivors from the space station,

a tall man and a
short blonde woman.

Right. Okay.

Dr Goodhead reported their
position 20 minutes ago.

They're just coming
into range of our

tracking ship in
the Pacific Ocean.

We should have audiovisual
within a few minutes

from the remote on
board TV monitors.

Houston calling Dr
Goodhead. Houston

calling. Confirm your position.

As this is the first joint venture
between our two countries,

I'm having it patched
directly to the

White House and Buckingham Palace.

Well, I'm sure Her Majesty
will be fascinated.

- We have audiovisual.
- Ah, at last.

- 007.
- My God, what's Bond doing?

I think he's attempting
re-entry, sir.

James?

I think it may be time to go home.

Take me round the
world one more time.
