All things considered, Sanchez has had a bad day; his drug refining plant has been destroyed, the religious cult cover has been exposed and Bond has now stolen one of the tankers with millions of dollars worth of petro-cocaine.

The last thing he needs at this point is snotty nosed financial expert, Truman-Lodge, berating him for messing up a lucrative business. Truman was also a little bit foolish to talk in such a condescending manner to a Sanchez, who has already displayed his complete disregard for his henchmen's lives.

Sure enough, one snide comment too many from Truman and Sanchez whips out an Uzi and pumps this irritating oik full of lead, before getting into one of the remaining tankers.

Betrayl, perhaps?

Comment 3 by 'Kooshmeister' (reply to this comment)
None of the other deaths where underlings are killed by their bosses are listed under "Betrayal," why should Truman-Lodge be any different?

Comment 4 by 'Matt' (reply to this comment)
It's the only one Sanchex betrays on his own, without Bond feeding him wrong infomation. Sanchez, in the heat of the moment, just shoots him.

Comment 5 by 'Mr. Briggs Incorporated' (reply to this comment)
That being said, shouldn't the others that Sanchex kills in revenge for "swindling him" be moved to "Execution"?

I too think this may need to be moved to "Betrayal" even if it was in blind fury.

Definetely. Not to mention Bond gets a taste of that action when he kills Killifer.

It could be argued that Bond does plant the seeds for Lodge's death when he's on the conveyor and asks Sanchez, "Who's got your money now? Truman-Lodge?"

Licence to Kill, Truman Lodge (Anthony Starke)
