Plot
Following some legal trouble, the agent now known as 0017 is assigned a new mission. An internet hacker known as Python69 is obtaining entire databases of credit card information, and 0017 is sent to a computer convention in Detroit, Michigan to find a clue to his whereabouts. 0017 visits the inventor once known as Q and is given a jet pack before travelling to the United States.

At the convention, 0017 accuses a woman of being Python69 but she tells him she is special agent Chi Panizzi and that she is looking for the same hacker. They are overheard by Python69's henchman Half-Assed Job, who shoots at them before throwing a grenade and then leaving. 0017 realizes the pin is still in the grenade, and he and Chi Panizzi pursue Half-Assed Job to be brought to Python69's location.

In a warehouse, Python69 is nearing completion of a supercomputer called MEL. The two agents enter, but Python69 uses a laser watch to melt their guns, having obtained the specifications to 0017's gadgets through hacking. Python69 explains that he has been collecting financial information so that when MEL is activated, it will become the best day trader ever to take over the e-market and control global commerce. 0017 pulls another gun from his shoe and Python69 activates MEL before escaping by jet pack. Half-Assed Job enters and 0017 gives his gun to Chi before pursuing Python69 in the air. Chi defeats Half-Assed Job and pulls apart MEL, after revealing she is working for Microsoft.

0017 chases Python69 through the streets of Michigan. They fire their laser watches at each other and 0017's jet pack is hit, but while Python69 is looking back he smashes into a bridge and explodes. 0017 and Chi meet for a drink to celebrate, and 0017 tries to hit on Chi, to no avail.
