Profile
Vargas appears in a number of scenes throughout the film, and is usually either following Bond, or accompanying Emilio Largo.
Vargas meets a nasty end when he silently approaches Dominique Derval and Bond lying on a beach, armed ready to kill. Domino calmly comments "Vargas is behind you" where Bond slowly but smoothly picks up his spear gun. As Vargas is about to shoot, Bond spins round and shoots him, impaling him on a tree. He then wryly quips "I think he got the point".
