Bond escapes with his reserve parachute and lands on a yacht interrupting a lady while the assassin is killed when the Land Rover explodes in mid-air. Bond witnesses the incident and gives chase to the assassin, ending in an explosives-laden Land Rover careening down Gibraltar's narrow roads and then into the air.
As they ascend, an assassin sends a tag reading Smert Shpionam down 004's climbing rope before cutting it, sending the spy to his death. 002 is captured almost immediately upon landing by the SAS, while 007 and 004 start scaling the cliffs. In the prologue, three skydiving 00 Agents are tasked with penetrating radar installations atop the Rock of Gibraltar as part of a Ministry of Defence training exercise.
