Dialogue
Patch Quartermain: This way. Haven't got all day. Don't! (too late; English presses "Enter" on a nearby laptop, firing a disc. The disc flies across the aisle and slices the entire head clean off of a dummy, which an agent catches) Would you stop meddling, English? (guides English over to a luxurious car) Here she is.
English: Ahh, the Rolls-Royce Phantom. Truly the Rolls-Royce of automobiles.
Quartermain: Armour plating, all the bells and whistles. Say "bonnet."
English: Bonnet.
Car's computer: Command accepted. (the bonnet opens, showing a powerful-looking engine)Quartermain: Voice activation recognizes only you. Rolls has fitted one of their experimental engines, the nine-litre V16. Goes like the wind... only quieter.
English: Beautiful.
Quartermain: Keep up. (leads English to a table laid out with gadgets that all look completely innocent) Here's what you'll be taking to Hong Kong.
English: Ah, yes.
Quartermain: (holds up a socket extension) A satellite receiver, (holds up a comb) tracking device, (holds up a pack of gum) Semtex chewing gum... (English grabs a small digital camera) Ah! Now, what did I just say? (English clicks the shutter, firing a mini-dart out of the lens. The dart goes directly through the rump of a dummy and into the buttocks of an agent. The other agents laugh and English chuckles sheepishly) That's the new P2 digital dart gun.
(Tucker and English approach a cliff)
Colin Tucker: What are you doing, sir?
English: Regulation 75-1, never question a senior agent in the field. (jumps off the cliff)Monastery chief: MI7. Wants you on the first flight back to London.
English: (in a sad tone) Master. Am I ready?(The music builds up)Chief: No.[A meeting in MI7]English: Right. [sits down] So, when's the Prime Minister going to grace us with his presence.
Prime Minister: [who is sitting to Johnny's left] I'm the Prime Minister.
English: [he sniggers] Yeah. You wish. [notices Pegasus staring at him. English realises that the Prime Minister really is who he says he is] [seriously] All right. So, we're all here. [He opens the paper in front of him. Others do the same. He clears his throat, as if to lead the meeting.]Prime Minister: These talks with China are of paramount importance. Rogue states in Southeast Asia have begun secretly to develop nuclear weapons. It is vital that we get China onside. Traditionally, China has been impervious to our concerns, but I believe Xiang Ping, given the opportunity, can and will help defuse this situation.
Foreign Secretary: Well, with his pro-West stance, it certainly offers an opportunity, but the talks can't go ahead unless we can guarantee his safety.
Prime Minister: I believe, with the correct security, that we can.
Pegasus: If Vortex is operational, it's just too dangerous.
Foreign Secretary: I'm inclined to agree, Prime Minister.
Simon Ambrose: There is a way. The Swiss are willing to lend us Le Bastion.
Quartermain: That's their government fortress, in the Alps. It's a stunning example of architectural engineering at altitude...and completely impregnable. I mean, that should solve all our security issues.
Prime Minister: Then the talks go ahead. [to Pegasus] Pamela, I hope you've brushed up on your Mandarin, I'd like you in the room with me. And I want your best man on security.
Pegasus: [hushed] Yes, Prime Minister.
Attendee: Where are we on Vortex?
Pegasus: English?
English: Vortex is three men. Fisher was one, Karlenko was another. Karlenko was killed today, on the orders of the third.
Pegasus: Any leads?
English: Yes, but I need time.
Pegasus: [insistent]'' We do not have time. We need to know the identity of the third member of Vortex.
English: Give me 24 hours.
