In the opening, James Bond is sent on a mission in [[Prague]] to kill an [[Secret Intelligence Service|MI6]] section chief, [[List of James Bond henchmen in Casino Royale#Dryden|Dryden]], who has sold British secrets. Bond must make two kills to qualify for Double-0 status, granting him a licence to kill: first, Dryden's associate, [[List of James Bond henchmen in Casino Royale#Fisher|Fisher]], and then the section chief himself. Bond then travels to [[Madagascar]] in pursuit of international bomb-maker [[Mollaka]] ([[Sébastien Foucan]]). After a [[free running]] chase to the Nambutu embassy, Bond chooses to kill the bomb-maker and blow up part of the embassy to escape. Bond's actions are recorded on [[closed-circuit television]] and exposed in the world press, enraging [[M (James Bond)|M]], his boss at MI6. Bond then visits the [[Bahamas]], where his target is a man named [[Alexander Dimitrios]], who has been working for [[Le Chiffre]], an unscrupulous banker who manages money for terrorist organizations and uses it to [[short selling|short sell]] certain companies' stocks. While there, Bond wins Dimitrios's 1964 [[Aston Martin DB5]] in a poker game. Afterwards whilst seducing his wife [[Solange (James Bond)|Solange]], she informs Bond that her husband is flying to Miami immediately, and Bond leaves abruptly. At Miami, Bond quickly kills Dimitrios with a knife, and pursues Le Chiffre's henchman Carlos through the [[Miami International Airport|airport]] terminal and out along the runway in a fuelled tanker truck. He eventually foils Le Chiffre's ultimate plans to blow up the $115 million prototype ''Skyfleet'' airliner on display,
Now under pressure to recoup his clients' money, Le Chiffre sets up a high-stakes [[Texas hold 'em]] tournament at Casino Royale in [[Montenegro]]. MI6 enters Bond in the tournament to bankrupt Le Chiffre, hoping that he will be forced to aid the British government in exchange for protection from his creditors. Bond meets up with [[List of James Bond allies in Casino Royale#Ren.C3.A9 Mathis|Mathis]], his contact in Montenegro, and [[Vesper Lynd]], a [[HM Treasury|Treasury]] agent, who is assigned to look after Bond's handling of the [[United States dollar|$]]10 million buy-in. When Bond misreads Le Chiffre as bluffing and loses his initial stake, Vesper refuses to give him the funds to [[buying in|rebuy]]. Almost resorting to murdering Le Chiffre physically with a knife during an interval, [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]'s [[Felix Leiter]] steps in and stakes Bond in exchange for Le Chiffre. Bond wins the tournament, despite attempts to kill him maliciously with poison. However before the CIA can take Le Chiffre into custody, he kidnaps Vesper and lures Bond into a near-fatal 75 mph car chase, which results in his capture as well. Le Chiffre tortures Bond by repeatedly striking his testicles with a knotted rope to make him reveal the account password to the game's winnings. When it becomes clear that Bond will not give in, Le Chiffre advances to [[castration|castrate]] him, but before he can, [[Mr. White (James Bond)|Mr. White]] arrives and kills Le Chiffre and his associates, leaving Bond and Vesper alive.
