Profile
During the pre-title sequence Bond reclaims Sir Robert's money from the Swiss banker Mr Lachaise. After returning the money to Sir Robert, he tells M that he might try and steal Bond, who quips, "Construction is not exactly my speciality", to which M mentions its "quite the opposite in fact".
Shortly afterward, King goes to collect his money but as he gets in range of the money, his lapel transmitter is activated, causing an explosive device hidden inside the cash to trigger, killing King and doing considerable damage to the inside of MI6.
