Quantum of Solace

An hour after Casino Royale, Bond brings Mr. White in for questioning in Italy. White laughs: his organization has people everywhere, and M's own bodyguard proves it by opening fire. White escapes. The trail leads to Haiti, where Bond meets Camille Montes, out to avenge her family, murdered by Bolivian general Medrano. Medrano's backer is Dominic Greene, an eco-friendly front man and member of the Quantum organization. At an opera in Bregenz, Bond spots the group's leadership. He's accused of killing recklessly and loses MI6's support. Greene's plan: seize control of Bolivia's water. At the desert hotel, Camille kills Medrano and Bond leaves Greene stranded with a can of motor oil. In Kazan, Bond finds Vesper's boyfriend and hands him over to MI6.
