Was Mollaka supposed to perpetrate the Miami attack or was his job just to build a bomb? For years, I thought that he was supposed to do the attack and Carlos was only a last minute replacement, but on a recent viewing I realized that that doesn't make all that much sense. I think the thing that threw me was that Dimitrios sent him the ELLIPSIS text, which of course turns out to be the door code at Miami airport. Why would he need that if he was never supposed to go near Miami airport?
Dimitrios: "I'm having a hard time seeing how this is my fault. It's your plan. All I did was get you the man."
Le Chiffre: "A man who was under surveillance by the British Secret Service. Which makes me wonder if I can trust you at all."
and
Dimitrios: "I have someone else willing to do the job."
When I typed the question this morning I had completely forgotten about the conversation between Dimitrios and Le Chiffre.
Now I am struggling to remember what made me change my mind and assume that Mollaka wasn't supposed to be involved in the final attack. The mind is a strange place.
Is Krest an employee of Sanchez? Because he treats him like one, but then Krest is actually paying Sanchez for the drugs in an exchange like he's a customer who doesn't trust him. I guess it's just a sort of partnership where Sanchez is the dominant partner?
Just seems a bit odd when he wanders in and takes over the Wavekrest like it's already his when really Krest is a customer of his.
The book on the left is obviously The Man With the Golden Gun, but what's the one on the right? I'm guessing Thunderball, based on the little trident the girl's holding. Google translates the title as "Strictly Confidential".
Question 2: The book on the right is obviously You Only Live Twice, but what about the one on the left? The sniper rifle suggests "The Living Daylights." Google translates the title as "100,000 is Bid."
EDIT: Someone on Facebook has revealed that the first mystery book is For Your Eyes Only, and the second is Octopussy and the Living Daylights (and "Property of a Lady," which explains the "100,000 Bid" title) . I'll leave this post up since the book covers are probably new to most of us.
I thought it was OHMSS for a second as it looks like he’s got a wedding ring on! :D
Presumably we are looking at period of several months, but the film never makes it clear. Clearly if thats the case, Quantum are playing the long game in getting the money back.
And how long it took his voice to deepen a bit ;)
What is the connection between marked bills, mr slate and le cheffire? Which money of his was marked?
What happening with Camille and the geologist. I gathered that Greene hired a guy to ask different people in his org to sell secrets to him and then I guess kill them if they tried to. But then who is the guy in the water?
That was not my impression at all. The way I see it : the geologist has secrets to sell to Camille. He contacts her. But Greene learns about it, and has him killed. Which means that the geologist is the one in the water. Then, he tries to have Camille killed, first by hiring a guy Bond kills, then by offering her to Medrano (but once again, Bond interferes).
Does Bond just leave Dryden's body in is office for the cleaners to find?
From the first establishing shot, it doesn't really seem like the building the office is in is the embassy (which would explain the complete lack of security) and there is a Universal Exports folder in the drawer from which Dryden pulls his gun. So I would assume Dryden has non-official cover? Does that allow Bond to just leave the body there and everyone local (i.e. police) just takes this as some kind of organized crime business? Would MI6 want Czech police to look into their cover company like that? Or does Bond drag the body into those elevators and dumps it somewhere else? Or is all of this supposed to be a very, very clear message to everyone involved in (British) intelligence? "You fuck with M, this is what happens!"
Great answer! Thanks, that makes sense.
I dont think it is ever explicitly mentioned, but I like to think it is a bit like In the John Wick movies, where a small team come in and tidy up the scene.
Well, you know what people say about making a mess for cleaners to tidy up: "It'll give them a job." ;)
I find the discussion of the word "oratory" in TSWLM terrifically embarrassing.
And wiping her cheek, if I recall... :-&
Most of DAF and DAD to be honest.
