In the pre-title sequence, Bond is picked up at his wife's gravesite by a helicopter; he escapes after being trapped in the aircraft. It is remotely controlled by Blofeld — who was accomplice to Tracy's assassin Irma Bunt. Blofeld pilots the helicopter around various parts of London before Bond manages to gain control of the helicopter and turn it on Blofeld, who is in a motorized wheelchair; picking him up, Bond then drops him into a smokestack, presumably killing him. This has no relevance, nor is it mentioned again, in the main story. The film then turns its focus to the fishing trawler St Georges of Valletta in the Ionian Sea off of Albania, which is revealed to be a British spy ship equipped with Automatic Targeting Attack Communicator (ATAC), the system used by the Ministry of Defence to communicate with and co-ordinate the Royal Navy's fleet of Polaris submarines. The ship dramatically sinks when an old naval mine becomes entangled in the fishing nets and pulled into the hull, causing it to explode and flood the lower compartments of the ship. The British Minister of Defence and his Chief of Staff summon James Bond and assign him the task of recovering the ATAC. They explain that if the transmitter were retrieved underwater by another superpower the Polaris submarines' ballistic missiles could be used against major western cities. Bond is sent to Spain after Gonzales to find out who hired him. While Bond is spying on Gonzales' villa, he is captured by his men and taken to him by the swimming pool. Just as Bond is about to be killed, Melina kills Gonzales with an arrow, enabling Bond to save himself in the commotion. Their attempt to escape together is thwarted when one of Gonzales' henchmen triggers the self-destruction device in Bond's Lotus Esprit. However, Melina owns a Citroën 2CV which proves to be rather slow, yet very resilient in the following car chase by two bigger and more powerful Peugeot sedans driven by Gonzales's henchmen; they manage to disable both of the other cars in the Spanish highlands with a series of clever manoeuvres. After identifying a hitman in Gonzales's estate (Emile Leopold Locque) who appeared to be paying him, Bond is led to a well-connected Greek businessman and intelligence informant, Aris Kristatos, in Cortina d'Ampezzo, a resort in northern Italy's Dolomites, by MI6's Italian contact Luigi Ferrara. Kristatos later tells Bond that the man he saw is employed by Milos Columbo, a Greek Smuggler. Kristatos's 15-year-old protégée Bibi Dah, a figure skating champion, attempts to seduce Bond who rebuffs her. Bond is also forced to contend with Eric Kriegler, a German biathlete. Kriegler attempts to kill Bond with his biathlon rifle, and pursues him on a machine gun armed motorcycle, over a chalet balcony, down a bobsleigh track, and into a farm where Bond escapes. Later that day, 007 arrives in his Lotus with Ferrara at an indoor ice rink to bid Bibi farewell before she departs for Greece. After she leaves, three men dressed in hockey gear attempt to kill Bond on the rink, but again he manages to fend them off. When Bond returns to his Lotus, he discovers Luigi dead with his throat slit and a Dove (the symbol of Columbo) pin in his hand. Several days later, 007 travels to Corfu in pursuit of Columbo. At his privately owned casino, Bond dines with Kristatos whilst spying on Columbo and his Austrian girlfriend Countess Lisl von Schlaf. Unbeknownst to Kristatos and Bond, they are being eavesdropped on by Columbo with a tape recorder hidden in their table's candle. Seeing an opportunity to learn more about Columbo, Bond offers to escort Lisl home by Kristatos's chauffeur in his Rolls-Royce. The chauffeur also happens to be one of Kristatos's chief henchmen who secretly listens in on Lisl and Bond's conversation. Upon arrival, Lisl invites 007 in for a drink. Eventually, Lisl admits that she was sent by Columbo in order to find out more information about the secret agent, which Columbo informed her of. She also reveals herself to be British - a native of Liverpool. The two then spend the night together. In the morning, Locque and another assassin, Claus, ambush Lisl and Bond in dune buggies on the beach. In spite of Bond's efforts, Locque manages to coldly run Lisl down, killing her. When Bond is captured by men working for Columbo — who have saved him from being killed by Locque and his accomplice — it emerges that Locque is actually in the employ of Kristatos who himself is in the employ of the KGB. Kristatos is attempting to recover the ATAC for the KGB, and has set up Columbo as the villain as the latter knows too much about Kristatos's KGB leanings. Columbo proves this connection to Bond by allowing Bond to take part in a raid on one of Kristatos's opium-processing warehouses in Albania, where they find Locque. In the warehouse Bond uncovers false rolls of paper containing unrefined poppy syrup, and additional naval mines similar to the one that sank the St. Georges, suggesting that the sinking was not an accident. Locque places explosives to destroy this evidence and flees as the building explodes into a fierce inferno, destroying all the heroin which was stored there. He then loses control of his Mercedes when Bond wounds him by shooting him through the car's windshield, and ultimately ends up teetering on the edge of a cliff. Bond approaches him there, tosses the Dove pin from Ferrara into the car after implying to Locque that he was the killer, and gives the car a solid shove, sending Locque plunging to his death. With Columbo's help, Bond, Columbo's team, and Melina break into an abandoned mountaintop monastery, St. Cyril's, being used by Kristatos to meet KGB chief General Gogol where he will turn over the ATAC. Bond climbs up the sheer face of the mountain, but is kicked off the precipice by the same henchman Apostis who chauffeured 007 and the countess and free falls over two hundred feet and is still secured to the rope attached to him and near the edge from which he fell. Using only his shoe ties as a stirrup, 007 climbs up the rope while Apostis dislodges the pitons securing Bond's ropes. Before reaching the top, 007 hurls a piton into Apostis, who falls to his death off the cliff. Bond finally makes it to the peak, commandeers the lift basket and brings the rest of the team up. As Columbo confronts Kristatos, Bond disposes of Erich Kriegler and shoves him out a window where he falls to his demise. Bond eventually retrieves the ATAC system and talks Melina out of killing Kristatos after he surrenders. Kristatos tries to kill Bond with a hidden weapon, but Columbo throws a knife at the villain from behind and kills him. Gogol arrives by helicopter to collect the ATAC, but Bond throws it over the cliff and it is dashed to pieces on the rocks below, with the quip, "That's détente, comrade. You don't have it; I don't have it." General Gogol gives Bond an understanding smile and departs. Bond and Melina later spend a romantic evening aboard her father's yacht. When a call from the office comes in, patched through to the home of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, Bond passes it along to Max while he and Melina prepare for a moonlight swim.
