Bond and Fields go to the party. There, Dominic Greene speaks to the assembled people about his plans to build eco-parks to prevent the world from collapsing, calling it the Tiara Project. The people applaud him. Mathis introduces Bond and Fields to his friend, Carlos, who assures Bond that his entire police force will back him up. As Greene speaks to potential donors, he is interrupted by Camille, who acts drunk and spills some of his less-than-philanthropic exploits, costing him the donors. Greene leads Camille to a corner of the balcony, and threatens to push her off. Bond comes by and takes Camille away, as Greene taunts them, calling them both "damaged goods". Elvis tries to follow them down the stairs, but Fields trips him, causing him to fall hard, and apologizes. Beam and Leiter watch as Bond and Camille leave.   Reaching their SUV, Bond tells Camille that he wants her to show him Greene's Tiara project. As they drive away, a couple of motorcycle-borne cops follow them. Bond guesses they're working for Greene. They stop at a secluded corner. The cops ask Bond to pop his trunk. When he does, he finds Mathis inside, barely alive. They order him to remove Mathis from the trunk. As he does, they notice that Mathis is still alive and shoot him in the back. Bond throws Mathis' limp figure on one of the cops and grabs the other's gun, shooting the first cop dead, and then executes the second one. He goes over to Mathis' side. Mathis, dying, asks Bond to stay with him till the end. He tells him that they forgive each other and Bond should forgive Vesper, who gave everything for him. He should forgive himself. With that, he dies in Bond's arms. Bond, betraying no emotion, dumps Mathis' body in a Dumpster, saying Mathis wouldn't care. Taking Mathis' money, they leave. In MI6, M gets the word that Mathis is dead and Bond is the suspect. The foreign secretary wants to see her. Despite her attempts to convince him of the existence of the unknown organization, he tells her that Bond is becoming a liability and must be stopped, or the Americans will kill him.   Bond and Camille drive to an airstrip in the desert and trade their car for a Douglas D3 plane, though Bond knows he'll rat them out. As they fly, Bond tells her that he knows she's Bolivian Secret Service. Bond notices sinkholes in the desert, just as they're attacked by an old-fashioned fighter plane. After a long pursuit, in which one of their jets is damaged, Bond tells Camille to grab a parachute. He tricks their pursuer to crash into a hill. But now a helicopter's after them. He and Camille jump out of the plane with one parachute. They grab each other and open the parachute, just in time to slow them down as they fall into a sinkhole and hit the ground. At night, Bond asks Camille her story. She tells him that, when she was a little girl, her father worked for the military junta in Bolivia. He was murdered by General Medrano and her mother and sister were raped and killed. She was too young to be a threat. So they set the house on fire, giving her a scar on her back. She asks him if he lost someone, to which he says yes. She asks if he found who killed her, to which he answers no. She asks him to tell her when he does and how it feels. They start to climb out of the sinkhole. Bond notes that this used to be a riverbed at one time. When they come out of the hole, they notice a huge body of water. Bond realizes that Greene's real interest is water. He's damming the water to create a drought. In the nearby village, there's a severe water shortage and the water tank has run dry. Bond and Camille get on a bus and head back to La Paz. When they reach the hotel, the receptionist hands Bond a message from Fields - RUN! Leaving Camille at the front desk, he goes to his room and finds M and 3 MI6 agents there. They've got Camille as well, but they let her go. She accuses him of being so blinded by revenge that he doesn't care who gets hurt. He notices a black form in the bedroom. Inside, he sees Fields lying dead on the bed, covered in black crude oil (homage to "Goldfinger", black gold). Though they know Greene is behind her murder, M says that Bond is responsible for putting her in danger. She suspends him immediately. He hands over his gun and is handcuffed by the three agents there. They take him into an elevator, where he makes short work of the agents and frees himself of his cuffs. Meeting a shocked M in the hall, he finds that there's a kill order put on him by the CIA. As the CIA agents swarm in, Bond escapes. M tells Tanner to tail Bond as he's onto something. She wants to protect one of her own, rather than let him get killed by the CIA. Outside the hotel, as Bond walks out, Camille pulls up in a car and tells him to get in.   Bond calls Felix Leiter and asks to meet. They meet in a bar. Bond asks him why the Americans are going into bed with Greene and General Medrano. Leiter tells him that regimes change frequently here. He tells him that Greene's going to suck the place dry, leaving the Americans to clean up. Bond then guesses that Leiter didn't come alone. Leiter tells him he has 30 seconds before the hit squad comes in to kill Bond. Leiter quickly tells Bond that Medrano has to pay off Carlos, the Colonel of Police, with Greene's money at a hotel called Perla De Las Dunas, in the desert. Just then, a CIA Special Activities Division team bursts in and opens fire at Bond, who makes a quick getaway.   In the Bolivian desert, Medrano and Carlos, with their soldiers, are at the Perla de las Lunas, a hotel powered by hydrogen-fueled cells. The whole hotel has been cleared for them. The svelte receptionist comes over and takes their order, though Medrano is more interested in her. Outside, Bond and Camille prepare for raid the hotel. He asks her if she ever killed anyone. He advises her on how to do it, since this is personal for her. Greene and his men arrive at the hotel. Medrano, Carlos and their men meet Greene and his men. Greene hands Carlos his money. Thrilled, Carlos takes the money and leaves, calling Medrano "Presidente". Greene tells Medrano to sign over his land. Medrano has the receptionist take his drink to his suite. Medrano signs the paper, but Greene wants him to sign another. Since he now owns the majority of Bolivia's water supply, he wants his organization to be the official utilities provider. Medrano refuses, but Greene threatens to back another wannabe dictator. Medrano signs it reluctantly. Victoriously, Greene prepares to leave.   Camille manages to sneak into the hotel and takes cover as Medrano goes into his room, with the receptionist inside. Carlos and his men prepare to leave. Just as they drive outside the gate, Bond jumps onto the hood of the jeep and executes Carlos, in Mathis' memory. The jeep driver reverses inside, but Bond shoots him as well. The jeep hits the hydrogen cells and a whole section of the hotel explodes. Bond kills Carlos' men and also drops Greene's henchman. Camille kills the two soldiers outside the general's suite and enters the suite. The receptionist escapes, but Medrano attacks Camille and they fight. Greene and Elvis run to the lobby, where Greene forces Elvis to hold off Bond. However, another hydrogen cell explodes, the fireball consuming Elvis. Greene manages to escape barely. Bond and Greene have their showdown. Greene, though not a fighter, attacks Bond wildly with a bar and then an axe. We see cuts of Bond and Camille fighting their respective foes as the hotel explodes around them. Finally, in the midst of all his wild axe-swinging, Greene wounds himself with the axe and almost falls off the top-storey ledge, but Bond grabs him by his hair. Camille manages to get the drop on Medrano and shoots him. Bond hears the shot and turns, as Greene taunts him that he's lost another lady. Bond pulls Greene up by his hair and leaves him there as he runs to save Camille from the exploding hotel. Camille, trapped inside the suite by the burning debris, sits huddled in a corner, whimpering. Bond makes his way to her and holds her, shielding her from the falling debris. Camille looks at the flames and is reminded of the day her family was killed. Bond picks up the gun and fires at an exposed hydrogen cell. The cell explodes, blasting a hole in the wall. Bond and Camille escape the burning hotel through the hole and see Greene trying to crawl away through the desert. Bond tells Camille to wait for him there. Later, Bond drives Greene to the middle of the desert. Greene whines that he told him everything about Quantum and that he thought he'd let him go. However, Bond leaves him stranded in the desert with a can of motor oil.   Bond drives Camille to a village. He tells her that Greene's dams will have to come down to restore water to the people. She asks him if he'll be able to sleep now. He replies that the dead don't care about revenge. She wishes she could set him free, but he's imprisoned in himself. They share a passionate kiss, and then she leaves. In Kazan, Russia, a couple - Yusef Kabira and Corinne (Stana Katic) - walk into his house. Inside the darkened house sits Bond, a gun in his hand. He orders them to sit down. Aiming the gun at Yusef's head, he restrains himself from firing. He speaks to Corinne, saying that he knows she's Canadian Intelligence. Since she knows Yusef, she must have access to sensitive material, which she'll be forced to give up, because his life will be threatened. He sees her necklace, which is the same as Vesper's, which he shows Corinne. He tells her to check with her people, because they have a leak. He tells her to leave them alone. As she leaves, she quietly thanks him. Yusef, resigning himself, pleads with Bond to make it quick. No such luck; Bond lets him live. The MI6 agents arrest him. M is actually surprised that Bond didn't kill him. She tells him that Greene was found dead in the Bolivian desert, shot twice in the back of the head and with motor oil in his stomach. M has fixed things with the Americans. Leiter's promoted, Beam's out. Bond tells M that she was right about Vesper. M tells him she needs him back. He replies he never left. He throws away Vesper's necklace as he walks away. THE END (with a gun-barrel theme and Dan Craig shooting at us)
