A teaser poster for
On Her Majesty's Secret Service, but it's in the Craig era.
The global hunt for Ernst Stavro Blofeld continues.
While on his off-time (but still on active lookout for any sightings of Blofeld), James Bond (still Daniel Craig) is driving on a beachside coast in Portugal, when he is overtaken by a woman in a red car. He decides to pursue her for a bit, before finding her car parked on the side of the road. He then sights that the woman, who now looks despondent, is now on the beach, and is walking towards the ocean. Realizing she is about to commit suicide, and drives to the beach to try and help her, introducing himself as Bond... James Bond. A group of 2 assassins jump the group, but Bond manages to defeat both of them. The woman then decides to take Bond's car, driving it up to hers, before she gets in her own car and drives away.
This never happened to the other fella.
Days later, Bond checks into a hotel, finding the woman's car parked outside. He inquires as to her name, which the receptionist says is Contessa Teresa di Vicenzo (Natalie Dormer). Bond later notices her at a casino, and decides to play in the game itself after noticing she is losing. Vicenzo makes a bet she can't back, with Bond saving her by paying the bet. Thanking him, she invites him to her hotel room, when they are suddenly ambushed by an assassin. Bond bests the assassin, and interrogates Vicenzo about the assassin, but she denies any knowledge. Bond refuses to believe this claim, and tells her that she is in danger, with assassins trying to follow her.
The next morning, he wakes up to find Vicenzo gone, and decides to pursue her. Upon setting foot outside of the hotel, he is kidnapped by armed men, who take him to an office building. His blindfolds are removed, revealing his captor to be none other than Marc-Ange Draco (Roger Allam), head of the Unione Corse, which is the second-largest criminal organization in Europe behind only SPECTRE.
Bond knows Draco very well, but Draco reveals to Bond one detail: Vicenzo is actually his only daughter, and she had been quite emotionally unstable recently. As allies, Bond offers to help her, in exchange for any information on the location of Blofeld.
Bond is called to M's office, and is told that he has been let go from MI6's mission to find Blofeld. He angrily announces his resignation to Miss Moneypenny, and begins clearing out his desk. He is called to M's office again to be told that this request has been granted, but emerges to find that Moneypenny only requested 2 weeks' leave. Realizing that this could grant him time to find Blofeld, he thanks Moneypenny and goes to Draco's birthday party.
At the party, Vicenzo, who prefers being called Tracy, discovers Bond's deal with her father and strong-arms Draco into providing Bond with the information he requested. Draco tells Bond that several of his Unione Corse men recently defected to Blofeld, and that the connection is Gebrüder Gumbold, a law firm in Bern, Switzerland. Distraught, Tracy runs away in tears; Bond catches up with her and wipes away the tears from her eyes. From that moment, they begin a whirlwind romance.
Bond and Tracy, who are falling in love, go to Bern with Draco to investigate Gumbold's connection with Blofeld. Searching the lawyer's office, Bond finds Blofeld's correspondence with the London College of Arms: Blofeld (Mark Strong) is attempting to lay claim to the title 'Comte Balthazar de Bleuchamp' - de Bleuchamp being the French form of the Blofeld surname. His College of Arms correspondent is genealogist Sir Hilary Bray, who confirms Blofeld's pursuit of the title and agrees to co-operate with Bond. The discovery is the solid lead he needs; he visits M at home and is granted permission to chase Blofeld.
Bond disguises himself as Bray and visits Blofeld at the Piz Gloria clinic in the Swiss Alps; Bond notices 12 women hanging around in the clinic and is told by the receptionist that they are "long-term" patients for a new kind of allergy treatment.
Bond decides to poke further into the issue, and secretly stays over at the clinic for a night. He sees a shocking sight: the 12 women, dubbed "angels of death", are being brainwashed to carry bacteriological warfare agents. Bond tries to trick Blofeld into leaving Switzerland so that he can be arrested by MI6 without them violating Swiss sovereignty, but he refuses. Bond is then caught by Blofeld's right-hand, Irma Bunt (Amy Sedaris), who brings him to Blofeld. Blofeld tells Bond he has recognized him, mocking him for his attempt to disguise himself back in 2011 (see my version of You Only Live Twice), and orders his men to imprison Bond in the cable-car machinery room. Bond escapes, and an epic ski get-away ensues, with Bond successfully evading Blofeld and his henchmen, who are also on skis. Bond reaches the village of Lauterbrunnen, and encounters Tracy, with both of them finally losing their SPECTRE pursuers at an auto-racing competition.
A blizzard forces them into a barn, where Bond proposes to Tracy; she accepts. They awake the next morning to SPECTRE henchmen knocking down the door to the barn. Bond and Tracy make a shoddy getaway, but not for long, with Blofeld causing an avalanche which incapacitates Bond and allows him to capture Tracy.
Bond makes it back to London, where M tells him that Blofeld wants to be recognized as Count of Bleuchamp and have his past crimes annulled, or he will unleash the aforementioned bacterial agents on the world, which will cause much of the world's land to be infertile. M doesn't allow Bond to attack Piz Gloria, with the Prime Minister deeming such an attack unlikely. Bond instead goes to Draco and hatches a plan to destroy Piz Gloria, the control facility of the Angels of Death, and rescue Tracy.
The attack ensues, and Tracy is rescued. Blofeld escapes on a bobsled just before Piz Gloria explodes, and Bond pursues him. Blofeld gets his neck caught in a tree, seemingly killing him. Bond manages to escape.
Months later, in spring 2013, Bond and Tracy marry in Portugal. They drive away, and Bond stops the car a few kilometers later to remove the flower decorations. They exchange "I love you"s, just before Bond goes outside. While Bond is behind the car, a black Mercedes drives by, shooting into the car. Bond catches a glimpse of who's inside the car: none other than Blofeld himself and Irma Bunt. He enters the car to check on Tracy, only to find her having been shot in the head.
A motorcycle policeman drives by, finding a gunshot in the windshield of Bond's vehicle, and him cradling his deceased wife. The policeman asks him if he is okay, and the traumatized Bond can only reply, "There's no hurry, you see... W-we have all the time in the world..." before softly sobbing.
