Ah, the Heckler & Koch G36.

Quite deadly in the right hands.

Ah, Agent One.

I have been so looking forward to this moment.

Well, in that case, I’ll try not to disappoint.

You overestimate your power over women, Mr English.

I’d say that would be virtually impossible.

Sir, Sir?

Have you got them - Hmm?

The mission documents, Agent One’s flying to Biarritz tonight.

Yes, yes, the mission documents, They’re here somewhere,

Don’t worry,

Ah, Here we are.

Agent One

Gentlemen.

I’m here for my documents.

Bough, Agent One’s documents, please.

Thank you.

Your mission documents, Agent One.

Including the codes for the submarine hatch, which I’ve checked myself.

Thank you.

So, is it just France tonight, or will you be slipping over the Pyrenees as well?

If I told you that, I’m afraid I’d have to kill you.

Oh, yes, yes, Well, I expect you would.

Cheerio, Agent One,

Bonne chance, Arrivederci.

Such class, Such distinction.

The greatest secret agent England’s ever had, snuffed out in an instant.

Terrible.

Do you know what makes us envied the world over, Bough?

That there’s always another agent waiting to step into the breach.

Absolutely, sir.

And every last one of them is gathered round that grave.

It is our honour and privilege to guard them while they grieve.

Their lives are in our hands, Bough.

Everything in order, English?

I think you’ll find it’s rather more than just in order, sir.

You’re now entering the most secure location in the whole of England.

Pegasus, we face a national crisis.

Agent One was clearly onto something, and we have to find out what.

I need another agent on this immediately, Who else is there?

No one, Prime Minister,

They all died in the explosion.

All of them?

Well, luckily there is one who survived.

Who?

Johnny English,

I’m here to see Pegasus.

Still, no sense rushing things.

There are some items you need to sign before your briefing.

This is your new retinal ID card, and this is your level nine security clearance.

Sign and date, please.

Oh, reminds me of the old service-issue ballpoint.

I remember every agent would carry a pen that looked just like this.

Completely innocent to the untrained eye, but click it twice.

Ah, English, there you are.

Have you seen my secretary?

She went out.

Shall we?

Now, Agent One believed that there was a plot to steal the Crown Jewels.

Now, they’ve recently been through a multimillion-pound restoration, largely paid for by a corporate sponsor, of course.

And they’re due to be unveiled tonight at the Tower of London.

Unfortunately, the Queen is insisting that the ceremony goes ahead, so what we want you to.

Who,

Who.

Who is the sponsor, sir?

Pascal Sauvage.

What, that flouncy Frenchman who owns a couple of prisons?

Sauvage’s £7-billion empire, English, operates over 400 prisons in 60 countries.

He’s built 25 of them here -

Right, sir.

The man’s related to the royal family, for goodness’ sake.

As far as the prime minister’s concerned, he’s one of the greatest friends England’s got.

Now, English, I want you at the Tower tonight, monitoring this unveiling.

Any chink in security, any weakness,

however slight, must be plugged immediately.

Do we understand each other?

Perfectly, sir

Good.

Oh, yes

And, English,

we can’t afford any mistakes, Not tonight.

The word “mistake,” sir, is not one that appears in my dictionary.

Fantastic car, sir!

Mr English, Colonel Sir Anthony Chevenix, head of royal security.

Ah, Colonel, good evening.

Snipers posted on the roof as per my request?

Thirteen of them.

Windows?

Refitted with bullet- and shatter-proof glass, as ordered.

I shall now mingle inconspicuously with the guests.

Let me know when Her Majesty arrives

Very good.

Shall I mingle with you, sir?

Oh, yes, Bough

Once you’ve checked the roof.
