What is happening y'all? Welcome on back. Off the screen to the left. Look around. As a reminder, still got that link in the description. Get yourself a cool bond PC. So, I can just steal the charge from anything electronic. This corner is just perfect for my training gear. Now go get settled. The room's down the hall on my left. Was looking around, man. Down the hall on the left. Bond in here. I've got something for you. Hey, Chris. Foreign Secretary Brightite is your dad.
I just met him at the door. Yes. Didn't you know? When did you get here? About 40 minutes ago. You're already plastering the walls with study plans. We have a lot of work ahead of us, but not a lot of time. What have you got for me? The key to your room. Obviously, the best room's already taken, but the second best one's still free. Really? Yeah. How Monroe makes decisions is a mystery to me. The keys on my desk. Why do you think this room is the best one?
Facing east, releasing endorphins in the morning. Cold in the evening and not facing the streets. The bathroom is right next door. Of course, the pipes and the drains are facing this way, but that's a small concern compared to the upsides. You really considered all that? Who wouldn't? Besides, I really like the color. She handed it to me. Boxing glove. It's for you. Practically had your name on it. That meant to be a jab. Is her room that messy? I feel like this room is way better. They're identical. No, she's just got the square layout, the closet there, the bed, lots of sunlight, and then flat desk against the wall with a bulletin board. Bro,
this room is so much better. What is she on? You got the bed. You got the little book nook over there to chill. It even has the little extension for the balcony and balcony access. Missed out. Yeah, this does beat the bunk beds. Monroe, are you hacking my laptop again? Stop it. I can't. This watch is too cool. What are you up to? Trying to read my messages, you creep. Studster 555 wants to see you again. Gh, please. I mean it. Stop it. You're going to break it. Find something else to hack, please.
All right. Boys, someone needs to unpack the kitchen. What's for dinner? Leave it. Let's head out and celebrate. Okay, let me know when you're ready. They left us a drinks trolley. Fully stocked. I checked. Won't hear me complaining. Not bad, eh? It's all right for a little while, I suppose. Now you're here, you can help us settle something. I'll just get Monroe. Hey, Monroe. Mind coming to the kitchen? Coming.
Bond, you'll be the judge. What do you say? This grotesque pastiche of hyper masculine tropes or this piece massively commanding negative space with a quiet intensity. In other words, the cool picture or the boring one? The poster. Sorry, Chris. I like the explosive and uncontrolled aesthetics. It's inspiring. Knew I could count on you, mate. If that poster goes up here, your shoes go in your room, Monroe. Those two things are completely unrelated. Protein. Yours, Cresa. Don't eat it. Brain's over brawn every time. Let's go eat.
Thank god I'm starving. He There's a decent Indian just around the corner. There's just enough time before we head back to Malta. Monroe. do the unexpected. It's the first rule of spycraft. Task is simple. Go in and get the flag. No lethal forces allowed unless the opponent has intent to kill. This may not be real guns, but we still play by those rules. Is that understood? Bond, your first President Monroe will be your radio support. Try not to embarrass yourself. Air pieces in, boys. What's our strategy?
We just have to wing it, won't we? Greenway emphasize our code of conduct. So, this exercise must be about testing how good we are with the new equipment from QAB. Natural thinking and all that. With that watch, you'll run circles around in position. Good luck. What are you waiting for? The gate to open. Must be part of the test. Use your watch, Bond. Entering now. Here we go. This is it, Bond. Get that flag.
Remember your training. You got this. Don't forget your Q lens, Bond. Stay down. Good thinking. Staying low. Good choice. Moving right. I'd have done the same. Let's control this zone. Make it a kill zone if they try to breach our way. I've had it. Hey, if it works, it works. Go for it. remember our code of conduct. Don't shoot until absolutely necessary. Watch it. Something there. What is that? Somebody on the ground. Right there. But watch your back. That's not good. Leave that.
He's knocked out. No time for that. Oh sh was trying to hop up. I wasn't sure what kind of like parkour we have. All clear over here. Ending the search. They're about to see you, Bob. Hey, you hear me? This ends now. We're way beyond excessive force at this point. Trying to get right into there. Does this say like crouch and go through it thing? Feel like I should be able to go through that. See you. You are. We need assistance now. Damn. Mission failed. Uh, I think I got I don't know. Did I have to go up there?
Cuz I was trying to go for a more stealth approach. Even though I'm not typically a stealth guy. I just felt like I worked all the way around. I was like, "Oh, yeah. It's just this way." Entering now. Here we go. This is it. Bond. Get that flag. Remember your training, mate. You got this. You've got your Q lens. Use it. Get out of sight, Bond. Let me try using the Q lens a lot more. Good choice. Moving right. I'd have done the same. Let's control this zone. Make it a kill zone if they try to breach our way.
Treat it like the real deal. Yeah, we keep it tight in that flag station. What? Guess I'll take a look. This is getting stupid. All right. Cover me. We're dealing with a maniac here. Remember our code of conduct. Don't shoot until absolutely necessary. Nice. Nope. Can't just jump up and go up. Good thinking staying low. See, I think I need Wait, hang on. I can Vanishing a nice move.
Moving in. If you don't, we need support. Get on the radio. Making the call. Silent. Hello. There's a man. Yes. Bastard. Come on, jump up, bro. Friendly fire. We're coming for you. Right on target. Shooting. You made it to the tower. Hide away. Too easy. Don't think that's uh what they had in mind, but I'll take it Establishing a baseline is the first thing they'll want to do. Answer truthfully.
What's your name? James Bond. How old are you? 26. That's our baseline. Now, watch this. You don't like me, do you? Let's go. No, I don't. Well, this is awkward. But the line is flat, so he's telling the truth. Small initial waves just before shows that he's under some duress picking his answer. Let's try again. Do you think telling me you don't like me will affect my ability to judge you objectively? What? Based on our past experience?
Yes. In other words, you think I'm incompetent. You miss your parents. None of your business. But you would agree that being orphaned at a young age has left you rudderless and unable to finish anything meaningful. Not. Are you offended? You think I've overstepped? You do realize that the people who put you in that chair in real life, they won't play fair. Dig in. Huh? I can't believe you made it out. Oh, yes. It was very dangerous. Fun. We're waiting. Pub archives. Are you comfortable?
Thank you. I am. Let's calibrate. What's your name? Crestor bright. Eye color. Pale blue gray. Okay, that's a solid baseline. Now start spinning Porky's Crest. Ready? Here we go. How old are you? 52. How the hell do you do that? Try something harder. Do you agree that privilege like yours makes one lose touch with reality? What privilege? When my parents died, all they left me was a cat in a moth eaten couch. Not quite true, though, is it? Apart from your parents being very much alive, I believe that you're set to inherit land the size of a small country when they do pass.
You seriously think I'd be pulling points at the local if that was the case? It'd be ridiculous. She is good. You'll have to try harder than that to trip her a bond. And tell me, Cresa, did I see you checking out Monroe at the fridge this morning? What? I No, that is not fair. Bond, what? She fancies you, mate. Why didn't you just say so? Before you use these gadgets in the field, it's important you understand how they work. These phones do more than just make calls. Bond, Ronson, please pick up a phone and load up from the chemicals on the workbench. Can't wait. Found what I need. Splendid. Ronson, step into the red square.
Bond, step into the blue circle. Well, this is going to suck. Bond, whenever you're ready. Sorry, Ronson. Nothing personal. nausea, dizziness, and disorientation. The target's balance is affected, making it impossible for them to remain standing in one place. Perfect for when you need someone out of your way. [__] It's not possible. Correct. Given your current inability to listen to my guidance, it is not. We get bullet time, too.
You're up. You'll get there, mate. I don't know. I need some help. You can't control the target, Monroe, but you can learn to control you. Bond, pick up the gun and hit the target. Sounds simple enough. I can't believe you pulled that trick on me. Always do the unexpected. Fast through the spycraft. I'm impressed. Yeah, you still beat me. Well, of course. But still. Early day tomorrow. Catch the flag at daybreak. SAS are prepping for it now.
Suggest you get some rest. I remember when Sundays were Sundays. Yeah. Hey, listen. Why don't we just take tomorrow off? I wish. I'm serious. We go get the flag now. Have a welldeserved rest tomorrow. That's actually not a bad idea. What? You want to do this, Chris? First of Greenway can't possibly object. They're going to stand there all night. Leave them to me, boys. Your pieces in.
Let me know when you're through. Hey guys, what are you doing here? Come on, Bond. Listen, I know you guys don't like to be humiliated on the courses, but if you choose to see through our superiority, we're actually really nice people. You believe this girl? Okay. So, okay. I'm just messing with you. I remember what the uh over here the fast dodge was. We need to get past if we want to find the flag. Okay. I'll go around the side. See if I can distract them. Check. What? But I didn't see. How did you try knight takes queen? If that's you, Bennett, I'm going to stick this knight somewhere you won't like it.
Okay, let's split up. I'll go this way. We need intel on the flight's location ASAP. On it, keep in touch. Hey, what are you doing? Oh, hey, listen. Greenway's birthday's coming up and we're throwing him a little thing. Just spreading the word. Mind if I pass? Okay, go ahead. Cheers. Party with the spies. Monroe, they're having a party without us. Bit insulted. Any word from your two friends?
Nah, still out. They just don't make SAS troopers like in my day. Okay, I'll keep looking. There's a building across the compound that looks like a good place to start. Sounds like you boys are enjoying your little game of hide-and-seek. Well, the period, John. Jesus. Good job. You weren't in charge of the meat. What's wrong with Perry? Stick the meat on the grill. It's done. Start the period all over it and consume with many beers.
Job done. Bond. Just overheard a couple of troopers talking about the flag. It's on the top floor of the back building. Meet me up there. On my way. I'm sorry you can't be there for the party. Did you find that thing she was talking about? Groups of guns. Stand easy, trooper. Herford sent me to check for readiness. Anyone from six comes up here, they'll regret it. Oh, I believe it. As you were. And the car is a total write off. Jesus, what was a daft old bugger think? Get going. Get to the flag. Okay, back on track. The other guy's taking a bit of a kick.
Thought you were on perimeter. Done. Sergeant wanted me to check the flag room. Now I'm going to get a steak before you all gone. You're right behind you. Huh? You got it right here. Follow me. I've got a plan. Monroe status. Monroe just crashed the party. Come on, take him down. Come back. WAIT, LADS. UP HERE UP THERE. GET HIM. There's too many of them. Sit. Rev. We're screwed.
Thanks, mate. Things just got sticky. Main door exits not really an option just now. New plan. Meet me at the backside door. Can't ro in trouble. Lock the door. I've got eyes on you there. See you in a bit. What's your location, Monroe? Just pinned the route for you. Good call on the boat, Chris. I owe you one. You can add it to the tab. Glad to hear you're all safe. Could you get a move on it? Can we get you? So, I'm curious to hear how every SAS in the compound suddenly got alerted to our presence.
The road. You take that one. Can't talk right now. So, Christ, they're really going at him. Bond. Sorry. Got to get a bit close there. No worries, mate. All the time in the world. They're so pissed. New course. Tougher opposition, tighter deadline. So be smart. Fastest win gets extra credits. Yes. What is it, Bond? First rule of spycraft. Always do the unexpected. And what about it? Grab your coat. We're going out.
Don't tell me. Tea and cucumber sandwiches. You wish. Come on. Complete your training as a recruit in Malta. All right. Well, with the training complete, we will wrap things up here for now. Obviously, we'll have more Bond coming your way soon. So, stay tuned and I'll catch y'all in just a bit with more.
