Giacinta "Jinx" Johnson is a
National Security Agency agent assigned to kill rogue
North Korean agent Zao (
Rick Yune), who is undergoing gene-replacement therapy at the Alvarez clinic in Cuba. The night before confronting Zao, she meets and has sex with
James Bond (
Pierce Brosnan), who is also after Zao, in the hope of extracting the identity of a
double agent responsible for his being imprisoned and tortured in North Korea. She tells Bond that her nickname is derived from her being born on
Friday the 13th. The two cross paths again at the clinic while chasing Zao; when Jinx's mission is interrupted by Bond and Zao escapes by helicopter, she strips to her bikini and dives backwards off the edge of the wall into the ocean, where she is picked up by a fellow agent on a boat. Jinx tracks Zao to Gustav Graves (
Toby Stephens)' diamond mine in Iceland, where Graves demonstrates the potential of his Icarus Satellite at his Ice Palace, where she once again crosses paths with Bond and once more unsuccessfully attempts to kill Zao. Zao interrogates her, but she refuses to divulge any information. He leaves her to be disposed of by his henchman Mr. Kil (
Lawrence Makoare), who straps her to a machine intended to kill her through the usage of industrial lasers. Bond rescues her and the two of them proceed to kill Mr. Kil with his own machine. Upon admitting that she is an
NSA agent to Bond, the two exchange relevant information and decide to work together. When Bond leaves to confront Graves, Jinx goes to warn
MI6 operative Miranda Frost (
Rosamund Pike) of an impending attack. However, unbeknownst to Jinx, Frost is the double agent who betrayed Bond in North Korea. Subduing Jinx, Frost locks her in Bond's suite to die as Graves melts his Ice Palace using his Icarus satellite's heat-ray. She is rescued for the second time by Bond after almost drowning in sub-zero temperatures of the flooded room. On the joint orders of Damian Falco (
Michael Madsen) and
M (
Judi Dench), Jinx and Bond then infiltrate a North Korean airbase to assassinate Graves, who escapes. They board his plane via its landing gear and split up, with Jinx taking care of the plane's pilot while Bond takes on Graves. Jinx manages to take over the controls but is ambushed by a sword-wielding Frost, who forces her to switch the plane's controls over to its auto-pilot mode and removes her from the cockpit. Unbeknownst to either of them, the auto-pilot sends the plane hurtling into the solar beam projected by the Icarus satellite, causing the plane to begin to disintegrate, killing Graves. Jinx uses the chaos as an opportunity to overpower Frost and impale her on a knife. Jinx and Bond then manage to escape the burning and demolishing plane in a helicopter from the plane's cargo hold, in possession of Graves' diamonds. She and Bond then go to Cuba for a romantic night together. Jinx later made an appearance in the 2012 video game
007 Legends, which "re-imagined" the events of
Die Another Day with
Daniel Craig's rendition of
James Bond, voiced in the game by
Timothy Watson.
Eurocom, the game's developer, was unable to acquire the likeness of Halle Berry for inclusion in the game, so they used the likeness of actress Gabriela Montaraz instead, with the character being voiced by
Madalena Alberto. The scenes featuring Berry in
Die Another Day in a bikini were shot in
Cádiz. The location was reportedly cold and windy, and footage has been released of Berry wrapped in thick towels between takes to avoid catching a chill. Berry was injured during filming when debris from a smoke grenade flew into her eye. The debris was removed in a 30-minute operation which left Berry with an inflamed cornea. ==Future==
