She destroys the films, forcing Le Chiffre to find his funds through baccarat. Mata discovers Le Chiffre’s plot to sell compromising images of military leaders from both sides of the iron curtain to raise money to escape execution. Living in India, Mata is approached by her father and convinced to travel to East Berlin to penetrate the International Mothers’ Help, formerly the Mata Hari School of Dancing, a spy school and SMERSH façade operation. A beautiful and resourceful dancer-turned-spy, Mata is the first appearance of a child of James Bond, again preceding No Time to Die's use of a Bond daughter. The grown daughter of Sir Bond and Dutch exotic dancer and convicted WWI German spy, Mata Hari, Mata Bond is portrayed by Joanna Pettet. Tremble later greets his fellow agents into Heaven, dressed in a kilt, and playing the flute. Tremble is eventually rescued by Lynd, only to be killed by her with a gun hidden in a set of bagpipes. Le Chiffre psychologically tortures Tremble in a quintessentially 1960s psychedelic version of Mads Mikkelsen's reinvented and dark villain Le Chiffre's infamous torture scene in the 2006 film. However, following Tremble's win, Lynd is apparently abducted and, while pursuing her, he is also captured by Le Chiffre, who wants his winnings check. After Lynd steals this deceptive crutch, Tremble is able to beat Le Chiffre at a fair game of baccarat. Impeding his plan, Tremble discerns that his opponent is cheating using infrared sunglasses. Having embezzled SMERSH’s money, Le Chiffre is desperate to raise funds to cover this up and avoid assassination. Comedy legend Peter Sellers, known primarily for his role as Inspector Jacques Clouseau in the original Pink Panther series, plays suave baccarat master Evelyn Tremble, who is recruited by Vesper Lynd to challenge Orson Welles’s Le Chiffre at Casino Royale.
