After taking Mathis' wallet, Bond dumped his body in a dumpster, claiming to Camille Montes that he wouldn't care. His dying words were asking Bond to forgive Vesper and himself. Bond killed the officers and cradled Mathis as he died. As Mathis showed signs of being alive, the officers opened fire on him while Bond was holding him. When the corrupt police arrested Bond, they ordered Bond to open his trunk, revealing a bloodied Mathis. However, Mathis was betrayed by an old 'friend' of his, the chief of the Bolivian Police Department, who had his men to assault Mathis in La Paz and place him in Bond's trunk. Bond convinced him to help him track down Dominic Greene in Bolivia. Mathis, now retired in Italy, has been cleared by MI6 for his involvement with Le Chiffre and MI6 bought him a villa as compensation. However, Bond soon learned that Vesper was the real traitor, and in the end, M stated to Bond that Mathis has been cleared following Vesper's death.
Mathis attended the poker game at the Casino Royale and watched Bond defeat Le Chiffre.īond believed that Mathis tipped Le Chiffre off about Le Chiffre's tell so Bond had him arrested and interrogated by MI6. Le Chiffre has already bribed the chief of police so Mathis had him arrested for bribery (with photoshopped evidence). Mathis welcomes James Bond and Vesper Lynd in Montenegro, where he has been stationed by MI6.
