1997
James Bond investigates media mogul Elliot Harmsway, who orchestrated the sinking of a British warship to provoke war between Britain and China, leading Bond to discover uranium on Harmsway's ship and his former lover, Paris, who is later murdered. Framed and on the run, Bond teams up with an American agent and a marine expert, uncovering Harmsway's plan to use a stealth ship to launch a missile at Beijing, escalating the conflict. Bond and his allies infiltrate Harmsway's headquarters, confronting him and escaping a deadly pursuit before tracking him to the Sea Dolphin II. On the sinking ship, Bond battles Harmsway's henchman and confronts Harmsway, who is killed, thus preventing a global war and exposing his conspiracy.

M, MoneypennyMoneypenny, take the following release: The body of Sir Elliot Harmsway was found floating in the South China Sea this morning, at 08:00 hours local Hong Kong time. At present, local authorities believe the media mogul committed suicide.
Perhaps. But it does explain how an ex-KGB agent turned illegal-arms dealer is suddenly portrayed as a long-time friend of the people. If you believe what you read in the papers.
If you think we're going to have some kind of 'life affirming' romance here just because we cheated death, let me be clear: We're going to have it where I want, and when I want.
Need I remind the two of you that Elliot Harmsway - Sir Elliot Harmsway - is directly descended from the Earl of Aberdeen?
I give this boat to mankind - selflessly - in pure charity asking nothing for myself... But the cable TV rights.
First, that boat is in international waters. I'm claiming it for salvage. One-third of that gold is mine.
You will investigate the boat. You'll signal us if you find the enriched uranium. And then - Pardon.
Thanks. By the way - was there anything strange the night before last? Odd weather, lost boats - ??
