• No. That's a literal estimation of Largo'southward phrase "right under the president'south feet in Washington, D.C."

• No. is in no way associated with this film. At that place'southward an extra in the video game room of the casino scene that looks marginally like him (hence the confusion), only upon close examination information technology's clearly not him.

Bond informs Felix that he's learned that one of the two bombs is hidden in Washington, so Felix alerts Washington and the bomb is located and defused. Bond realizes that the design on the Tears of Allah necklace match the outline of the isle where Largo has parked his send, the Flying Saucer. Bond figures that the diamond on the pendant marks the location of the 2d bomb, so he and Felix land on the island every bit indicated, don SCUBA gear, and become looking for the cave in which the flop has been hidden. The cavern leads to a large chamber filled with rock statues and other artifacts. Equally Bond goes deeper into the cave, Felix goes to get help. While the expert guys fight the bad guys, Bail goes after Largo, who is attempting to escape underwater with the warhead.
