M:Quite the body count you're stacking up.She was tortured first. As you'd already killed her husband, she must have been the only one left to question. Did she know anything that could compromise you?
Bond: No.
M: Not your name? What you were after?
Bond: No.
M: Dimitrios worked as middle-man. Always knew how to put his hand on weapons and people who could use them. He worked with anyone who had money. For years hewas involved witha man we knew as Le Chiffre, private banker to the world's terrorists. He invested their money and gave them access to it wherever they wanted.. Oh good, you're here. Albanian, we believe. Chess prodigy, a bit of a mathematical genius and liked to prove it by playing poker.
Bond: Ow. So you can keep an eye on me?
M: Yes. When they analyzed the stock market after 9/11, the CIA discovered a massive shorting of airlines stocks. When the stockshit bottomon 9/12, somebody made a fortune. The same thing happened this morning with Skyfleet stock, or was supposed to. With their prototype destroyed, the company would be near bankruptcy. Instead, somebody lost over 100 million dollars betting the wrong way.
Bond: You think it's this man, Le Chiffre?
M: Which would explain how he could set up ahigh stakespoker game at Casino Royale in Montenegro. Ten players, $10 million buy in, five million re-buy. Winner takes all, potentially one hundred fifty million.
Bond: Good, then we'll know where he'll be. Do you want aclean killor do you want to send a message?
M: We want him alive. Le Chiffre doesn't have a hundred million to lose.
Bond: He must have beenplaying the stock marketwith his client's funds. They're not going to be too happy when they find out it's gone.
M: We can't let him win this game. If he loses, he will have nowhere to run; we'll give him sanctuary in return for everything he knows. I'm putting you in the game, replacing someone who's playing for a syndicate. According to Villiers, you're the best playerin the service. Trust me, I wish it wasn't the case. I would ask you if you could remain emotionally detached, but I don't think that's your problem, is it Bond?
Bond: No.
