In flashback, Fisher recovers from Bond's attempt to drown him and picks up his pistol. Dryden says that Bond 'needn't worry, the second is-' at which point Bond kills Dryden. Bond remains passive, his face expressionless. I suppose that's something.' Dryden continues to taunt Bond, asking him if he felt any remorse or guilt over killing Fisher. We barely got to know each other.' He pulls the trigger, but James has removed the ammunition from the weapon. Bond finally pushes the man's face into an overflowing sink and holds him there until he falls to the floor, apparently dead.ĭryden points a gun at Bond. They chat about what it takes to be a Double O agent (one of the requirements is making two kills) and Bond casually tells Dryden that his espionage contact, Fisher died, and 'Not well.' Intercut with the conversation are black and white scenes of Bond and Dryden's contact fighting in a men's room.
The movie begins in the city of Prague, Czech Republic, where James Bond has tracked down an MI6 section chief, Dryden, who was selling information to enemies for profit.
