In the pre-title sequence, Agents 002, 004, and 007 parachute onto the Rock of Gibraltar as part of a war games scenario to test its defenses. 002 is immediately captured by the SAS, while Bond and 004 begin scaling the cliffs to the base. As they ascend, an assassin appears and, after shooting an SAS guard, sends a carabiner-attached tag reading “Smiert Spionam” (“Death to Spies”) down the rope before cutting it, killing 004. Bond chases the assassin, ending in an explosives-laden Land Rover careening down Gibraltar’s roads and then into the air. Bond escapes (via his reserve parachute) mid-air from the falling jeep, while the assassin is killed when the Land Rover explodes. Bond lands on a nearby yacht owned by a woman named Linda, who on the phone states she is looking for a “real man”. Linda subsequently offers Bond a glass of champagne and says “Won’t you join me?” Eyeing her and the drink, Bond delays his report time to two hours.
In Bratislava, Bond along with Saunders, another MI6 Agent, conducts the defection of a KGB officer, General Georgi Koskov, covering his intermission escape from a concert hall. He notices a sniper assigned to assassinate Koskov, who is actually a cellist named Kara Milovy. Suspecting that she is not an actual assassin, he shoots her sniper rifle out of her hands, instead of killing her, much to Saunders’s condemnation. Koskov is smuggled through the Russian gas pipeline into Austria and flown to England. There, at a countryside manor (Blayden House), Koskov informs MI6 that the KGB’s old policy of Smert’ Spionam, meaning Death to Spies, has been revived by General Leonid Pushkin, the new head of the KGB (heir to General Gogol). He presents them a list of British and American targets of SMERSH. Milovy is immediately speculated as an assassin. The leaders of MI6 leave for London to convene, while Koskov stays at the manor. Some time later, an assassin named Necros infiltrates the building, burns the list of targets, and abducts Koskov, killing two staff members and sending another two to the hospital. Read more
