### The Man with the Golden Army

Moneypenny used to be an informant in MI5, the Secret Service Bureau, before being personally transferred to the MI6 by Albert as his secretary. At some point, she swore loyalty to William like his other allies.

One day Mycroft gives them a mission to investigate the death of a British agent in India, who manages to send a Russian rifle back before his death. They believe the weapons are manufactured there and need to stop the weapon supply to Russia. As the agent was a friend of Moneypenny, she wants to join the mission. Although Moran is against it at first, he agrees.

Moran and Moneypenny then head to Von Herder, where Moneypenny reveals that his inventions are her responsibility. Inspecting the Russian rifle, Herder states it was made in Britain. They realize that the agent was killed by British people and someone has interest in keeping the war going. Investigating deeper, Herder pinpoints at which factory the weapon was made. Before leaving, Moran is fond of a gun he finds and asks Moneypenny to fill the paperwork for him to take it.

They head out to the factory and see it operating even though it should have been closed years ago. They infiltrate it and find many weapons produced there and documents leading to the Viceroy of India. They get found out, but manage to escape and blow up the factory. Reporting to Albert, he assigns them a mission to head to India and deal with the Viceroy.

On their way there, Moneypenny receives a letter from William, who explains Moran's past and how the Viceroy sent his platoon to death to keep the war going. Arriving in India, they disguise themselves and visit a party with the Viceroy. Moneypenny then spills wine on Moran and the Viceroy, making them to go and change clothes.

Moran gets the chance to kill the Viceroy, but he was already expecting someone to come for him and had Daryl, a former comrade of Moran, capture Moneypenny. Daryl seemingly manages to convince Moran to join them and Moran shoots Moneypenny in the head with his new gun. However, the gun is special and rotating the barrel loads paint bullets or real bullets. Moneypenny then escapes and saves the guests who were supposed to die in an explosion following Daryl's and Viceroy's plan.

On their way back, Moneypenny reveals that Moran is now officially a member of MI6. She also confesses her concern for his mental state during the mission and questions if the Viceroy's plan was much different from theirs. Moran reassures her that they are prepared to give their life for William's plan, meanwhile the Viceroy was not.

Moneypenny is happy when Moran says that moving forward, he is counting on her.
