During the intense showdown, Moneypenny is forced to take a shot at Patrice but mistakenly hits Bond instead. This tragic mistake leads to Bond plunging into the river below, believed to be dead, while Patrice manages to escape.

Three months later, the fallout from Bond's presumed death and the stolen hard drive creates a public outcry regarding M's leadership. M faces intense pressure from Gareth Mallory, which forces her to reconsider her position in MI6.

As M contemplates her retirement, MI6's servers are hacked, leading to a mocking message and ultimately a catastrophic explosion at the headquarters. The incident forces MI6 to relocate to a secure underground facility to continue operations.

Bond discovers a casino chip belonging to Patrice that leads him to a lavish casino in Macau. Here, he meets Sévérine, who offers to assist him in uncovering the involvement of her dangerous employer, Raoul Silva.

Bond and Sévérine trace Silva to his island hideout, only to find themselves captured. Silva, a former MI6 agent, reveals his deep-seated vendetta against M, escalating the stakes of their encounter into a personal battle.

As Silva enacts his revenge plot against M, Bond employs clever tactics to rescue hostages from Silva's clutches. Sévérine, in her attempt to escape, ultimately meets a grim fate at Silva's hand, adding to the tension of the mission.

In a strategic move, Bond, alongside Q and Bill Tanner, lures Silva to his ancestral home, Skyfall. They rig the house with traps in preparation for Silva's assault, transforming the site into a battleground.

During the climactic confrontation, M suffers injuries as Silva's plans come to fruition. Bond arrives just in time to confront the threat but finds himself facing profound personal loss while trying to save M.
