Bond recovered a large sum of money belonging to Sir Robert King, a personal
friend of “M”. When getting close to his money at MI6 headquarters, King gets
killed by an explosion; the bank notes have been covered with an explosive
triggered by King's lapel pin, which had been replaced by a fake. While
investigating about King, Bond notices that the money he retrieved is exactly
the sum that had been paid as a ransom to free King's daughter Elektra some
time ago. M had helped King to retrieve his daughter, but had refused to pay
the ransom, rather using the daughter as a bait. The kidnapper was Renard the
Anarchist, who took a bullet in the brain when MI6 was trying to kill him,
after Elektra managed to escape. The bullet is moving towards the center of
the brain, making him progressively loose his sense of touch and smell and
insensitive to pain. M sends Bond to protect Elektra. He meets her at a
pipeline construction site inherited from her father in Azerbaidjan but she
refuses his help, not trusting MI6 anymore. Bond later saves her life from an
attack; he also tears a piece of cloth bearing a russian marking from one
attacker. He then meets Valentin Zukowski, an acquaintance of his in his
casino in Baku. Zukowski recognizes the marking as that of an antiterrorist
unit of the Russian ministry of energy. He tells Bond that Elektra's pipeline
has several competitors who may be willing to get rid of her. Later, while
snooping around Elektra Bond notices that her chief of security is somehow
related to the former attackers. He follows him and takes his place at some
meeting with who were waiting for him. They trust him and take him to a
facility in Kazakhstan where nuclear weapon are being disabled and destroyed.
He meets there Dr. Christmas Jones, the nuclear scientist in charge of the
process and pretends to be a Russian scientist. Bond notices that Renard is
also working at the facility and is trying to steal plutonium. Renard manages
to escape with a nuclear head, blowing up everything, and Bond and Jones
barely escape themselves. Bond then suspects that Eletktra and Renard are
actually working together because of something they both said in different
occasions, but Elektra convices him otherwise. Elektra then lures M to Baku
and kidnapps her, while Bond is sent with Jones to investigate a possible
terrorist attack in the pipeline. Instead of defusing the bomb (which appears
not to be nuclear), he lets it explode in order to make Elektra believe that
he is dead. They then go meet Zukowsky again on the Caspian Sea, because Bond
made a connection between him and Elektra. Zukowsky admits providing her with
material with the help of a nephew of his who is the captain of a russian
submarine. He also tells Bond that they are currently in Istanbul, and takes
them there. They then discover that Renard has taken over the submarine and
plans to put the plutonium into its nuclear reactor in order to provoke a
meltdown that would look as an accident. This would destroy all the pipeline
of King's competitors. Bond and Jones get then caught by Renard because of
Zukowsky's assistant being an accomplice of him. Jones is taken to the
submarine while Bond is left with Elektra who tries to torture him, but he is
saved by Zukowsky who died just after. Bond kills Elektra and manages to enter
the submarine. There is then an big fight between Bond and Renard; Bond wins
and saves the world.
