Appears in: License To Kill

Actor: Anthony Zerbe

Who he is:
He is a business associate of drug lord Franz Sanchez. He owns and operates a marina in southern Florida, which he claims he uses for research. In reality he uses his vessels and docks to smuggle Sanchez's cocaine into the United States. Despite their partnership, Krest is terrified of Sanchez, as he witnesses firsthand the fates that befell those who had displeased him. Krest's facilities are utilized for the maiming of Felix Leiter, which is why he was added to Bond's hitlist.

Attempted methods of killing Bond:
Having his men shoot at Bond while 007 is intercepting Franz Sanchez's drug shipments

How he is dispatched:
Bond frames Krest by stealing millions of dollars from his boat, the WaveKrest. The money was intended for Sanchez in a drug deal, and 007 stole it to make the drug lord suspicious of Krest's intentions. Bond plants doubts about Krest's loyalty in Sanchez's mind, so the kingpin goes to Krest's boat to interrogate him about the missing money. Prior to Sanchez's arrival 007 sneaks back aboard the WaveKrest and plants the cash in a decompression chamber. Upon discovering the money Franz becomes enraged, believing that Krest stole the money to hire a hit squad to kill him. He throws Krest into the decompression chamber and turns it on, then cuts through the hose with an axe. The rapid loss of pressurization causes Krest's head to explode.

Evil scheme:

• To assist druglord Franz Sanchez in his drug smuggling schemes
• To hide Sanchez after his successful evasion

How plans were foiled:
Bond plants seeds of distrust between Sanchez and his henchmen, killing Krest.

Defining dialogue:
Krest : "That's not my money !"
Sanchez : "That's right amigo, it's MINE !"
