WEBVTT 00:00:14.283 --> 00:00:15.617 Chairman, Ministers. 00:00:15.952 --> 00:00:18.245 Today I've repeatedly heard how 00:00:18.371 --> 00:00:20.622 irrelevant my department has become. 00:00:20.873 --> 00:00:22.833 Why do we need agents? The Double-O section? 00:00:22.959 --> 00:00:24.960 Isn't it all rather quaint? 00:00:26.796 --> 00:00:29.589 Well, I suppose I see a different world than you do. 00:00:31.134 --> 00:00:34.302 And the truth is that what I see frightens me. 00:00:36.264 --> 00:00:40.100 I'm frightened because our enemies are no longer known to us. 00:00:40.727 --> 00:00:42.519 They do not exist on a map. 00:00:42.603 --> 00:00:45.105 They're not nations. They are individuals. 00:00:48.359 --> 00:00:49.943 Look around you. Who do you fear? 00:00:51.112 --> 00:00:53.822 Can you see a face? A uniform? A flag?
