Film biography

Dryden is seen in the pre-title sequence. In Prague , he drives up to his office. He is about to sit down when James Bond interrupts him. Bond says M knows he is selling MI6 secrets. Dryden replies that if M was so sure, she would have sent a double-0 (00) agent. Bond, who is not yet 007, tells Dryden he has already killed one (Fisher) and needs another. Dryden attempts to shoot Bond, but finds that Bond has removed the ammunition. Bond then kills Dryden.

In the moment when Bond shoots him, a photo of Dryden together with his wife and daughter is shown for a split second, which he takes with him to his death.


Novel biography

Although never mentioned by name in the books, Ian Fleming mentions how Bond obtained his 00 license. One of the men he kills was a Japanese Cipher expert on the 36th floor of the RCA Building in New York (although this attack was carried out with a sniper rifle from an adjoining building).

Bond's killing of Fisher is shown in a flashback just prior to Bond's killing of Dryden. Bond and Fisher engage in hand-to-hand combat in a men's washroom (the exact location of which is not indicated, though deleted scenes suggest it is in a cricket stadium in Pakistan ). Both combatants have guns, but the majority of the fight involves Bond and Fisher throwing each other through toilets and cubicle walls. Eventually, Bond gets the upper hand and appears to drown Fisher in a sink. However, as Bond turns to retrieve his gun, Fisher, who feigned his death, grabs his own gun. Bond turns and fires, and this is shown on screen as a modified version of the Traditional Gun Barrel Sequence and leads into the opening credits.
