Sensing that he's going to lose, Le Chiffre poisons Bond's drink – causing him to have to be resuscitated in the parking lot by Lynd – and then goes on to lose anyway. This means that the British government must pony up the $10 million, which arrives in the care of one Vesper Lynd (Eva Green) a gorgeous British treasury agent.īond enters the tournament, finds out that one of the opposing players is CIA agent Felix Leiter (Jeffery Wright), and discovers that Le Chiffre has a remarkably obvious tell: poking his temple with his forefinger. Bond, of course, is sent to enter the tournament in an attempt to foil this plan too. In order to make up the lost money, Le Chiffre – a genius mathematician and poker player – decides to host a $10 million buy-in Texas Hold'em tournament at the Casino Royale in Montenegro. Bond travels to Miami and averts this attack, earning the fury of Le Chiffre, who had promised a huge payout to the terrorist groups entrusting their funds in his care. He also discovers that Le Chiffre's plot is to destroy a new airplane at the Miami airport, thus tanking the manufacturer's stock, which the financier has shorted. Information from the bomb-maker's phone leads Bond to the Bahamas, where he wins a 1964 Aston Martin DB5 – the car he drove in several early iterations of the film franchise – in a poker game.

Bond starts his pursuit of Le Chiffre by tracking down an African bomb maker in Madagascar, chasing him into his embassy and killing him in cold blood.
