~ Killifer's last words before his demise. |
Ed Killifer is first seen intimidating cocaine drug dealer Franz Sanchez and tells him he has a private cell waiting for him at Quantico. Later he thanks Bond and Leiter at Leiter's wedding but Killifer turns out to be corrupt when he accepts Sanchez's $2,000,000 bribe and deliberately crashes the van carrying Sanchez off the Seven Mile Bridge in Key West by knocking out the driver with his rifle. Both Killifer and Sanchez escape in a 2 man shark hunter sub, courtesy of Milton Krest, another of Sanchez's associates. Krest is very nearly killed off when Krest gets frustrated due to the cop knowing too much but Sanchez has him leave the cop alone since he keeps his promise.
Although he plans to escape into obscurity in the Shark Hunter II Submersible, later that night, James Bond infiltrates Wavekrest Marine Research and kills 2 guards. Killifer holds Bond at gunpoint and opens the same trap door, which was used in the torture of Leiter. Before Killifer can usher Bond into the pond however, he is knocked off balance by Sharkey, Bond and Leiter's ally, who enters the Ocean Exotica from another trapdoor below Killifer. Killifer manages to grab and hold on to a rope over the shark pond and begs Bond to spare him and he'll split his bribe money with him. Instead, Bond refuses and mockingly states that Killifer earned it so he should keep it. Bond then throws the briefcase of 2 million dollars at Killifer, who falls into the shark pond and gets viciously eaten alive by the great white shark that maimed Leiter.
