#3 I don't believe this for a minute. MI6 doesn't pay foreigners, it just promises to pay them. Even during WWII, when some foreign agent had built up enough credit to want to cash in, they would offer him a boat ride to England for his pay.

There would be an accident en route, in which he would accidentally fall overboard.
