Hello, James. Welcome.
-
Do you like the island?
-
My grandmother had an island.
-
Nothing to boast of.
You could walk around it in an hour.
-
But still, it was,
it was a paradise for us.
-
One summer,
we went for a visit
-
and discovered the place
had been infested with rats!
-
They'd come on a fishing boat
and gorged themselves on coconut.
-
So how do you get
rats off an island? Hm?
-
My grandmother showed me;
-
we buried an oil
drum and hinged the lid,
-
then wired coconut
to the lid as bait,
-
and the rats would
come for the coconut and..
-
..they would
fall into the drum.
-
And after a month,
you have trapped all the rats.
-
But what do you do then?
-
Throw the drum into the ocean?
-
Burn it? No.
-
You just leave it.
-
And they begin to get hungry.
-
And one by one..
-
..they start eating each other
-
until there are only two left.
The two survivors.
-
And then what?
Do you kill them? No.
-
You take them and release them
into the trees.
-
But now they don't
eat coconut anymore.
-
Now they only eat rat.
-
You have changed their nature.
-
The two survivors,
-
this is what she made us.
-
I made my own choices.
-
You think you did.
-
That's her genius.
-
Station H.
Am I right? Hong Kong.
-
Mm-hmm.
-
'86 to '97.
-
Back then,
I was her favorite.
-
And you're not nearly the agent I was,
I can tell you that.
-
Just look at you, barely held together
by your pills and your drink.
-
Don't forget my
pathetic love of country.
-
You're still clinging to your faith
in that old woman.
-
- When all she does is lie to you.
- She never lied to me.
-
- No?
- No.
-
What did you score in your
marksmanship evaluation?
-
Seventy
-
Forty
-
Did she tell you the psychologist
cleared you for duty?
-
- Yes.
- No. No.
-
Medical evaluation, fail.
Physical evaluation, fail.
-
Psychological evaluation:
-
"Alcohol and substance
addiction indicated."
-
Pathological
rejection of authority
-
based on
unresolved childhood trauma."
-
"Subject is not
approved for field duty
-
and immediate suspension
from service advised."
-
What is this if not betrayal?
-
She sent you after me knowing
you're not ready, knowing you'll likely die..
-
Mommy was very bad.
-
Hm?
-
Ooh.
-
See what she's done to you?
-
Well, she never
tied me to a chair.
-
Her loss.
-
Are you sure this is about Em?
-
It's about her
-
And you, and me
-
You see,
we are the last two rats.
-
We can either
eat each other..
-
Hm?
-
..or eat everyone else.
-
How you're trying to remember
your training now.
-
What's the regulation
to cover this?
-
Well, first time
for everything, yes?
-
What makes you think
this is my first time?
-
Oh, Mr. Bond!
-
All that physical stuff..
So dull, so dull..
-
Chasing spies..
-
So old fashioned!
-
Your knees must
be killing you.
-
England, pah.
-
The Empire! Ml6!
-
You're living in
a ruin as well,
-
you just don't know it yet.
-
At least here there are no old ladies
giving orders and no little..
-
Bip!
-
Gadgets from
those fools in Q-Branch.
-
If you wanted, you could pick
your own secret missions- as I do.
-
Hm? Name it. Name it!
-
Destabilize a multinational
by manipulating stocks..
-
Bip. Easy.
-
Interrupt transmissions from a spy
satellite over Kabul..
-
Done.
-
Hm.. Rig an election in Uganda, all to
the highest bidder..
-
Or a gas explosion in London..
-
Just point and click.
-
Well, everybody needs a hobby.
-
So what's yours?
-
Resurrection.
-
Let me show you something.
