Introduction:
The film continues only one hour after the events of Casino Royale with Bond driving from Lake Garda to Siena, Italy – with the captured Mr. White in the boot of his car – when he is attacked by chasing henchmen. After evading his pursuers, Bond and M interrogate White regarding his organisation, Quantum. M’s trusted bodyguard Craig Mitchell turns traitor – allowing White to escape – so Bond chases Mitchell across Siena and kills him. Through forensic investigations involving tracked banknotes, Bond heads to Haiti to find Mitchell’s contact, Edmund Slate and kills him. He then poses as him, learning Slate was sent to kill Camille at the behest of her partner, Dominic Greene, the ruthless chairman of Greene Planet and a member of Quantum. Bond pursues her by motorbike and watches her meet with Greene, learning the businessman is helping General Medrano – who murdered Camille’s family – to stage a coup d’état in Bolivia in exchange for a seemingly barren piece of desert land.
Greene has Camille escorted away on Medrano’s boat as a “sweetener” for their deal. Bond commandeers his own boat to rescue her (though she is unwilling) and leaves her in local care. Bond follows Greene, through the cellphone of Greene’s henchman Elvis, to his private jet, which flies him to a performance of Tosca at Lake Constance, Austria. This is a clandestine way for members of Quantum to plan the coup, with each member communicating through special earpieces concealed in gift bags. Bond obtains an earpiece and disrupts the meeting. He then sends MI6 cellphone photos of various Quantum members as they flee the arena. As Greene abruptly departs from the opera, he is intercepted by Bond and a gun fight ensues in a restaurant. Bond confronts a bodyguard of Guy Haines, (who is an advisor of the British Prime Minister) on a rooftop, but the ensuing struggle causes him to fall on the hood of Greene’s vehicle. Greene apparently does not recognize him and has him killed.
