:14:02
They're priceless and very rare.
:14:06
This one contains a model
of the imperial state coach.
:14:09
- Top marks, 007.
- Thank you, sir.
:14:11
Except it's a fake.
:14:13
There's the real thing. lt's being
auctioned at Sotheby's this afternoon.
:14:17
This is the fourth egg
to turn up at auction this year.
:14:20
lt's from none of the usual sources.
Anonymous seller, Swiss bank account.
:14:25
l'd say that the vendor was a Russian.
:14:28
And now this turns up.
A near-perfect forgery.
:14:33
l think Commander Bond
should accompany you to the sale.
:14:36
Splendid. l could use
an extra pair of eyes.
:14:39
We could try and spot the seller.
:14:41
They usually turn up out of interest
or perhaps just to bump up the price.
:14:46
Thank you, Fanning.
:14:48
Not at all.
:14:52
lf it is the Russians,
it may be an effort to raise currency
:14:55
for covert operations abroad
or for payoffs.
:14:58
Either way,
we'd better find out what they're up to.
:15:02
- Yes, Minister.
- Eyes only, 007.
:15:05
Operation Trove.
:15:07
You'll be replacing 009.
:15:09
He turned up dead in East Germany
with that egg in his hand.
:15:14
There's not much to go on.
:15:16
Well, we do have one lead, Minister.
:15:19
''Property of a Lady.''
:15:22
Next on the agenda is the continuing
mutual disarmament talks with NATO.
:15:27
l assume you've all read
General Gogol's report.
:15:31
lt seems very thorough.
:15:34
Thank you, Comrade Chairman.
:15:37
l believe l express the opinion
of everyone present
:15:41
that adoption of NATO proposals does
not compromise our defensive position.
:15:48
- Comrade Chairman.
- General Orlov.
:15:52
General Gogol is presumptuous.
:15:55
He speaks for himself and others
:15:58
who cling to timid, outdated
and unrealistic policies.
