The marathon game proceeds with dirty tricks and violence, raising the stakes beyond blood money and reaching a terrifying climax. In Montenegro, Bond allies himself with Matthis, MI6's local field agent, and Felix Leiter, who is representing the interests of the CIA.

At first skeptical of what value Vesper can provide, Bond's interest in her deepens as they brave danger together-and even torture at the hands of Le Chiffre. 'M' places Bond under the watchful eye of the beguiling Vesper Lynd. MI6 assigns 007 to play against him, knowing that if Le Chiffre loses, it will destroy his organization. Secret Service intelligence reveals that Le Chiffre is planning to raise money in a high-stakes poker game in Montenegro at Le Casino Royale. He learns that Dimitrios is involved with Le Chiffre, banker to the world's terrorist organizations. Following a lead to the Bahamas, he encounters Dimitrios and his girlfriend, Solange.

Not everything goes as planned and Bond decides to investigate, independently of the MI6 agency, in order to track down the rest of the terrorist cell. James Bond's first 007 mission takes him to Madagascar, where he is to spy on a terrorist Mollaka.
