After stealing the Lektor, Bond, Romanova, and Kerim Bey escape with the device on the Orient Express. At the consulate, Kerim Bey sets off a smoke bomb to distract the Soviet personnel while Bond and Romanova steal the Lektor and escape through the ancient water tunnels under the city. Upon finding the body, Bond takes the floor plan, and brings it to Kerim Bey to devise their invasion.

The bespectacled man who followed Bond to the airport tries to intercept Romanova's floor plan of the Soviet consulate, but is killed by Grant. The next day, Romanova heads off for a pre-arranged rendezvous at Hagia Sophia. When Bond returns to his hotel suite, he finds Romanova in bed waiting for him, the two have sex, unaware that they are being filmed by SPECTRE, in hope to humiliate MI6 with a sex scandal before selling the decoder back to Moscow. On the following night, Kerim Bey kills Krilencu with Bond's Folding Sniper Rifle. At night, Kerim Bey and Bond go to a rural gypsy settlement, which suffers an attack by Krilencu's men, who wound Kerim Bey and nearly kill Bond, who is saved by a hidden Red Grant. The next day, after Kerim Bey's office is bombed, Bond and Kerim Bey spy on the Soviet consulate, where Kerim Bey sees rival agent Krilencu. 007 is followed from the airport by an unkempt man in glasses and by Red Grant. Bond then flies to Istanbul, where he meets station head Ali Kerim Bey. In London, M tells Bond that Romanova has contacted their 'Station 'T'' in Turkey, offering to defect with a Lektor, which MI6 and the CIA have been after for years – but Romanova said she will only defect to Bond, whose photo she has allegedly found in a Soviet intelligence file. Klebb recruits Grant as an assassin, and Tatiana Romanova, a cipher clerk at the Soviet consulate in Istanbul, as an unwitting pawn, as Romanova thinks Klebb is still working for SMERSH. The SPECTRE Number 1 puts ex- SMERSH operative and Number 3 Rosa Klebb in charge of the mission. SPECTRE's expert planner Kronsteen has devised a plot to steal a Lektor cryptographic device from the Soviets and sell it back to them while exacting revenge on Bond for killing their agent Dr. As the garden lights up, it is revealed that this 'Bond' is actually a man wearing a prosthetic mask - it was all a SPECTRE training exercise. Grant eventually gets the jump on him and garrotes him to death with a wire concealed in his watch. Late one night, British Agent James Bond 007 sneaks through a hedgemaze, stalked by Red Grant, a SPECTRE assassin.
