For the fifth installment of the Mission:Impossible series Tom Cruise has employed The Usual Suspects’ Christopher McQuarrie to write and direct this flimsy but functional film. Of course, you can’t spell functional without ‘fun’ and what Rogue Nation lacks in originality and coherence, it makes up for in boyish charm and stylish stunts.
Picking up where M:I 4 Ghost Protocol left off, Ethan Hunt and the Impossible Mission Force are under heavy scrutiny from CIA Director Alan Hunley (Alec Baldwin) who has shut them down and is looking to lock Ethan up. On this backdrop of a disbanded team, there’s the murky Syndicate – a collection of international ex-operatives headed by the villainous Solomon Lane, played by Alex Harris in full-on creep mode. As the Syndicate carry out acts of terror across the globe Ethan and his team of now series regulars Simon Pegg, Jeremy Renner and Ving Rhames, must surreptitiously stop them behind the US government’s back. But the only thing impossible about this mission is understanding the plot.
The familiar tropes of stolen lists, double-agents and the word ‘disavowed’ are all here, but wrapped in a story that tries far too hard and ends up tying itself in knots. The antagonist is thin, and no matter how much our heroes repeat ‘the Syndicate’ over and over again I failed to care about this evil organisation and even less, understand their motivations for world destruction or whatever the hell it was. However, perhaps this is beyond the point. The real conflict comes from scene-stealing Rebecca Ferguson who plays ‘can she be trusted’ British secret agent Ilsa. Like a film noir femme fatale Ilsa is beautiful and deadly and McQuarrie wisely drops the love interest element from her role to instead focus on her character’s drive and predicament – an agent deep undercover who’s boss at British Intelligence is ready and willing to cut her off whenever he needs to. McQuarrie’s direction is undaunted in the wake of Brad Bird’s gripping yet light-hearted Ghost Protocol, which itself confidently followed J.J. Abrams’ series high with M:I 3.
There’s some exhilarating set pieces made all the more thrilling when you know 53-year old Tom Cruise does the majority of his own stunts in-camera without the aid of CGI. These moments of heady action and the on-point comic relief from Simon Pegg and even more so Tom Hallander, who plays the British Prime Minister, make the convoluted plot bearable. Another fine touch from the writer/director was the climactic chase through foggy, monochrome London alleys, again harking back to 1940’s film noir with some stylish cinematography that had the final scenes looking like an old black and white photograph. Often, the script is somewhat lackluster and guilty of crimes endemic in franchises right now (yes Jurassic World, I’m looking at you). Making nods to the originals is all well and good but it does not exonerate franchises of their repetitive lack of originality. And screenwriters talking directly to the audience through characters is uncouth and heavy-handed, such as Jeremy Renner’s line at the end of the first act, “This could be our last mission, Ethan, so let’s make it count.” Fortunately, Rogue Nation does make it count.
A breakthrough performance by Rebecca Ferguson, glittering action sequences peppered with the right amount of comedic camaraderie is enough to make the fifth Mission Impossible film a worthy addition to an action series as solid as Tom Cruise’s abs.
Hey, how did you open your cell door? - Hey What are you doing? Open Sector 2! How did you get out?
Get back in your cell. I told you, get back in your cell!
Let's give you a few friends to play with. Send some guards in. Okay, I'm set. How's things going down below? How do you think? I'm in a sewer.
The doors won't open! We're locked in! Sound the alarm! We've lost control!
I'm in position. Move to phase 2. What are you doing?
What are you doing? What's wrong? What's happening, Benji? He's not going to the extraction point. Stay focused.
He knows where he's going. I will not open that door. Please go to the extraction point, Ethan.
I know what this means, but I can't. I'm not authorized. Go to the extraction point, Ethan.
Go to the extraction point! Oh, you're just going to wait. We're going to wait. We'll just screw the whole thing up on purpose. We're going to have a slight delay. Why do you want to go in there?
I don't know what he's doing, and for some reason, I'm helping him. As long as he's where he should be when the song ends. Uh, we have a passenger. Open all of them! Oh God oh God oh God. Sergei, please tell me there's more to this plan! Agent Carter.
Who's your pal? I'll tell you on the way!
Light the fuse. Sergei, what's going on? It's OK, Bogdan. I don't mean to bring up the elephant in the room, but what's with the big, hairy Russian? He fed me intel.
If I left him there, they would've killed him. So we're gonna give him his freedom. Did you call in the sweepers? On their way. Uh, Benji, how is it you're here?
Oh, I passed the field exam. Crazy, right? It's procedure. I'm just confirming it's you. You're very thorough. Are you not Russian?
Sweepers approaching! Brooms are out! - Roger that. Are you not Sergei?
You'll be fine. I always take care of my friends. Messy bringing him along. I thought it went rather well.
Mind telling me what you were doing in a Russian prison? Mind telling me why you broke me out? This wasn't a rescue mission? Uh, let me put it this way.
If the Secretary wanted me out of there, it must be pretty bad out here. We were after a file. Agent Hanaway. Where's Hanaway?
It was a letter drop. Classified file. It should have been a simple intercept. We knew which train the courier was on.
Uh, ETA, two minutes on the courier. But there was one thing we didn't know.
Bobcat, your train's six minutes out. Who the courier was. It's now or never, Bobcat. The courier delivering the file, what's his name? We are out of time. I need a name, folks. I can't track all these people at once.
For the love of God! Marek Stefanski. I'll take it from here. Hey, you all right, buddy? Hanaway dropped the mark and grabbed his bag. Catch your breath.
He had the file in his hands. Easy in, easy out. File secured.
But we weren't the only ones after it. Bobcat, someone else has crashed this party.
I'm not alone. Local police? Armed hostiles. Hang tight, I'm coming! Outrigger, back him up. Negative, Outrigger. Rendezvous southwest corner, 60 seconds.
Hanaway's lens cam drew a facial match and triggered a warning. But it was too late. You're going to be okay. You're so beautiful. I'm sorry, I. I should have told you. It was my op.
I put him in the field. And she left him just alive enough for me to see him die. You know her? That's Sabine Moreau. Contract killer. Works for diamonds.
What was in the file? Russian nuclear launch codes. IMF's been looking for an emerging extremist, code name, Cobalt. He's determined to detonate a nuclear weapon however he can.
We know Moreau's worked for him before. What else does IMF know about him?
As much as you do now. But if Moreau has nuclear launch codes, you can bet Cobalt's gone from a person of interest to enemy number one. Agent confirmed.
Why was he in prison? He disappeared after he and his wife.
I thought he'd just been transferred. Put on leave. There were rumors, though. Talk of an unsanctioned hit. Welcome back, Mr. In your absence, IMF has learned that Cobalt is or was a level-1 nuclear strategist for Russian intelligence. Therefore, the only way to uncover his actual identity is to infiltrate the Kremlin itself.
In order to get past their checkpoints, you'll be impersonating General Anatoly Fedorov. We believe Cobalt will do everything he can to destroy any record of his identity. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to penetrate the highly-secured archive inside the Kremlin and retrieve Cobalt's file before he can destroy it.
New intel suggests Cobalt is already en route, leaving you.4 hours 52 minutes.to infiltrate. To save time, we've chosen your team for you. Agents Carter and Dunn. As always, should you or any member of your team be caught or killed, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions. This message will self-destruct in five seconds. Good luck, Ethan.
What do you got? We're going into the Kremlin. I thought you said 'The Kremlin.'
This is very exciting. Being out in the field. With you, you know.
It's a bit of a dream for me. Love your disguise, by the way. You look just like him. It's a shame we're not wearing masks. You know, like, full masks.
Everybody gets to wear a mask but Benji. I babble when I'm nervous. I'm doing it again. Shut up, Benji.
Okay, seven security guards. X-ray machines. Metal detectors. Just what we expected. We can do this. Releasing in three, two, one. Game face, game face.
Kremlin game face. I am Major Egorov. Your documents. You should know your boss.
I can't find you. Run it again.Private. Excuse me, General. I didn't recognize you. You're going to regret this, Egorov. I think that went quite well. Just shut it.
It's going to work. I'm sorry, by the way. About you and Julia.
You know, not working out. I wanted to say something before you went away, but. I liked her, you know. He's off the phone now. The nest is empty.
Check in, Team Leader. Check in, Team Leader.
Have you made it to the Archive Room? The Archive Room! Someone is piggybacking our frequency. Team Leader, awaiting your go-sign. Standing by to detonate.
Rendezvous nine-two. Shut the gate! Our media is no more truthful than yours, American. But we both know that the real cause of the explosion was you. Awaiting your go-sign, Team Leader. Standing by to detonate.
The worst part for you, 'Team Leader,' is I am the man assigned to make you suffer for it. For what you did to my country. This is a hospital. Not a night club. Misha.help me here.
The doctors say he's lucky to be alive. Only a mild concussion. I don't give a damn about his health. I have questions that need answering.
Prepare a transport. Check over there! Not a good idea. It seemed like one a minute ago.
Hot target heading west! Consolidated Insurance. How may I help you? Agent 82-Delta-Echo requesting immediate evac. Rendezvous Alpha 113.
Details surrounding the intricate system of gas lines that run beneath the square are still forthcoming, but the majority of those lines date back to the Soviet era and have not been updated in at least. I've been thinking. It looks like we. We should leave town for a couple of days. Alex, you, me. Why are you speaking in English? Just the three of us.may not have been an accident, but a targeted attack.
Preliminary numbers are just starting. Where will we go?to come in regarding those wounded in the blast. We can confirm that 11 tourists. Leonid?.their nationalities still unconfirmed, have been transported to area hospitals for treatment.
While Russian officials continue to blame a gas-main break, experts are citing the shape of the blast area and the size of the debris field as more consistent with that of a set explosive, leading to speculation that this may have been an undeclared act of aggression. Although the Defense Ministry is maintaining that this is strictly an accident. Anna, pack a bag for Alex.
We're leaving now. We have work to do. I wasn't aware you were in Russia. Not since a bomb blew up the Kremlin.
Yesterday I flew in to accept the Order of Friendship from the Russian Prime Minister. Now I'm headed back to Washington to hand the President my resignation. My Chief Analyst, William Brandt. Do you have a pen? Ethan, what happened in the Kremlin? Chief Analyst, you say? If you're implying that I made a bad call.
European male. About six-foot, 180 pounds. A crude drawing, but by your description, that could be Kurt Hendricks. Served in Swedish Special Forces. Professor of physics, Stockholm University. Specialist in nuclear endgame theory.
Asked to resign. Well, because he's crazy. You have to alert the Kremlin that one of their strategists has a nuclear launch device and one of his operatives has the codes to activate it. And what makes you say that? I saw him leaving the executive armory, bag in hand. He set off that explosion to cover his tracks.
It could be weeks before the Russians know it's missing. Unless we tell them. They won't listen to us. As far as the Russians are concerned, we just bombed the Kremlin. The tension between the United States and Russia hasn't been this high since the Cuban Missile Crisis.
And the blame, right or wrong, points to IMF. The President has initiated Ghost Protocol. The entire IMF has been disavowed. So what happens now? Now, I've been ordered to take you back to Washington, where the DOD will label you as a rogue extremist and hang the Kremlin bombing on you and your team.
Unless, you were to escape somewhere between here and the airport, having assaulted Mr. Brandt and me. You would then illegally scrounge whatever material you could from a backup supply cache that I've overlooked. The same cache where your team are waiting for further orders.
Sir, you may want to. You will then disappear, and this conversation never having taken place, your intentions would be unclear. But if any one of your team is caught or killed, they will be branded terrorists, out to incite global nuclear war. Your mission, should you choose to accept it. Ethan, you were my best man. And I'm sorry it's come to this, after all the sacrifices you made.
If we don't meet again, I just want you to know, I've always considered you a friend. Drive, drive, drive! Take a deep breath. Stay with me. What do we do? Where else am I going to go? Hey, hey, hey!
Hold your fire! Hold your fire!
Hold your fire! Weapons down! What are you firing? Two prisoners escaped from Rankow Prison today. And this one?
What do we know about him? Why would that work? Why would what work? The flare on the body, why would that work? - Yeah, I know, but. I mean, how did you know that would draw their fire? I played a hunch.
All right, so what was your scenario? There's a guy being shot at in the water.
All of a sudden, decides to light up a flare and swim around? I mean, what did you assume they'd be thinking? I didn't assume they were thinking.
I assumed they were shooting at anything that moved. I just gave them a target. These guys aren't Rhodes Scholars, you know? It's really happening, isn't it? Okay, you know what that sound is? That's our ride out of here! All right, it's a green car.
Okay, let's do it. Go, go, go, go. All right, 47. I don't see it.
The manifest. Enter your code. Retinal scanner!
Retinal scan required. Retinal scan required. Agent confirmed. Jeez, I thought you were dead! - Who's this? Agents Dunn and Carter.
William Brandt, Chief Analyst. Agent confirmed. How will the world finally end? It is my job to predict the unthinkable. To treat the death of billions as a game. After 20 years of this, I was numb. Until a new question crossed my mind.
What happens after the end of the world? Are you sure your line is secure? Every two or three million years. Are you certain your line is secure?.some natural catastrophe devastates all life on Earth. But life goes on.
And what little remains is made stronger. Put simply, world destruction is an unpleasant, but necessary part of evolution.
What happens then, I wondered, when mankind faces the next end of the world? I don't care what you have to do to get him to Dubai. I'll make it worth his while.
I looked to Hiroshima, Nagasaki. I'll be waiting for your call.thriving cities rebuilt from the ashes, monuments to the unimaginable, dedicated to the concept of peace. It occurred to me here that nuclear war might have a place in the natural order. But only if it could be controlled. Only if it touched every living soul equally. IMF now believes this man, Kurt Hendricks, is the nuclear extremist, code name Cobalt.
Today he was seen leaving the Kremlin, with what is likely a nuclear launch device. Two days ago, Sabine Moreau killed one of our agents in Budapest and relieved him of Russian nuclear launch codes.
Intel indicates she will check into the Burj Hotel in Dubai in 36 hours. Marius Wistrom is a known operative of Cobalt.
Wistrom is currently en route to Dubai. For the launch device to work, Cobalt needs the activation codes. He's sending Wistrom to buy them from Moreau. The Secretary is dead. The President has invoked Ghost Protocol.
We're shut down. No satellite, safe house, support, or extraction.
The four of us and the contents of this car are all that remain of the IMF. And as of this moment, any action is unsanctioned. So if you want out, speak now. Our mission is Hendricks.
We're all that stands between him and his goal. Nothing can be left to chance. Everyone connected with this man is considered an asset with valuable information about our target. No one can know we're still on line.
Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol
We lose Hendricks now, we lose him forever. So, what's the play?
Wistrom will take delivery from Moreau in 36 hours. Now we cannot let the launch codes leave the hotel, but we need Wistrom to lead us to Hendricks. He'll only do that if he has the codes. Or if he thinks he has them.
Our objective is to intercept the sale, replace the authentic codes with counterfeits and follow Wistrom to Hendricks. Well, that's simple enough. We.
the codes, we gin up some fakes. Jane, you double Moreau, and sell the codes to Wistrom and Bob's your uncle. And how do you propose we just. the codes from Moreau? We take her out.
Yeah, we take her out. But, you know, discreetly. Right, she's an asset. Nothing left to chance. I'm spitballing. It's not all gonna be gold.
We don't touch Wistrom. She'll answer for Hanaway, but it has to be when I say. After we hit Hendricks. Only pack what we need. Yeah, absolutely. Only pack what we. You never know.
So even if we can double Wistrom and Moreau, how do we keep them in separate rooms while having them think that they're in the same room? We give the hotel a facelift. Wistrom will think he's arriving at Moreau's suite, but, really, he'll be walking into our decoy room. Where I'll double Moreau. Downstairs, Benji will double Wistrom. And meet with the real Moreau.
What am I doing? You're the helper! That's great. Okay, so to the extent I understand what you're talking about here. The Burj Khalifa, it's the tallest building in the world, and you want to alter its infrastructure with the hopes of convincing two people that they've had a meeting, which actually really never happened.
ETA on dry cleaning. On my way up. Okay, 34 minutes to door knock. Okay, this is a slight wrinkle, but nothing to worry about.
We're just going to have to go into the server room from the outside. Well, the firewalls on this building's server are military grade. I mean, this would be a cinch if I could call Youssef back at headquarters, but Youssef doesn't exist anymore, and neither do we. I could hack it, but it would take too long. Then hardwire in. And there's four layers of next-gen security between us and the server room. There's no way we can get to it from inside.
If we can't get to the server, we don't control the elevators, we don't control the security cameras. This operation is over before it even begins. I'm telling you, we can get to it from outside. I'm on the computer. I'm just, uh. What floor is it on? - Vent ducts.
Pressure sensitive. Not enough time. Elevator shaft. Infrared sensors.
Not enough time. How am I supposed to do this? Oh, that's high. Okay, now remember, it's a rolling off motion that disengages the bond. When the meter is blue, that's full adhesion.
Easy way to remember, blue is glue. And when it's red?
Here's your cutter, okay? And your server interface.
Both going back here. Okay, Ethan, the hotel server is eleven stories up and seven units over.
It's 26 minutes to door knock. 25 minutes to door knock. What the hell is that?
Yeah, what the hell is that? It's a sandstorm. It's a long way off, Ethan. Shouldn't be a problem.
24 minutes to door knock. Where's Ethan? You've got to be kidding me. 23 minutes to door knock. I'm at server level.
22 minutes to door knock. The countdown is not helping. I'm just saying. That's great, Ethan. You're halfway home.
Located server. Please tell me we're online. All right, we're live. Okay, I now have control of the elevators and the security cameras. Time to redecorate. Okay, you drive. And look out for Wistrom and Moreau.
Moreau is at the elevators ahead of schedule. We can't open this door, can we?
Ethan, you gotta get down here now. Is there a problem? We're not gonna make it. We have to make it. Where's Ethan? Your line's not long enough! That was not easy, but I did it.
What'd I miss? The lens might be a little uncomfortable.
It captures images and transmits them to the printer in the briefcase. I can't see out of one eye, but I'm fine. Blink twice to activate the shutter. Notice the numbers are in order? A perfect copy. But the numbers are scrambled.
You sure I shouldn't wear a mask? You know, 'cause I'm not exactly Omar Sharif. I'll play it French.
This is your tracking device. This is what you're tracking. The paper clip?
No, it's the paper. It's in the briefcase. It's coated with isotopes which give off a unique.
It just means that you can track the documents even if they switch briefcases. Not that good. It's, like, half a mile. Safest thing to do would be not let Wistrom out of your sight. Is that Wistrom? Who's that with him?
I don't know. We don't have an uplink, so there's no facial recognition. Who's that with him? That's Leonid Lisenker. Polish-born cryptographer. He redesigned Russia's nuclear security after the Cold War.
He's here to authenticate the launch codes. Yes, he is. We are blown. No, we're not blown. Well, we will be as soon as he sees the counterfeit launch codes. We're not blown. He's in the elevator.
Benji, how long would it take you to reprogram the case? A couple of seconds. What for, though? To make an exact copy of the launch codes. You can't do that.
Wistrom's on 22! - Slow him down. I'll do what I can. Ethan, hang on now! Just a second. You're talking about handing over active nuclear launch codes to Wistrom? Reprogram the case.
Just listen to what you're saying. You're fixating. You're not thinking clearly. It's not gonna happen.
I won't let it! 33 and climbing! Brandt, use your head now. The mission is not the codes, the mission is Hendricks. Then just let it play out. Give him bad codes. Neutralize him.
You know that won't do it. Failure to a terrorist is just a rehearsal for success. We lose Hendricks today, he shows up somewhere else tomorrow. He finds another way. With no IMF to stop him. It's now or never.
Now, Brandt, give me the case. Nothing can be left to chance. You said that. You're the analyst.
Now, tell me there's not another way for Hendricks to get those codes. You tell me that this is his only avenue, right here, right now, today. You tell me that, I'll walk away.
We go without. Without masks? - Jane needs to go.
We have no choice. Ethan, you'd be walking in on Moreau unarmed. How do we know they've met? - How do we know they haven't?
- Doesn't matter! We have no choice.
What if they have met? Which one of you is Wistrom? Which one of you is Wistrom? I admire your work. Where are my codes? Where are my diamonds? You have my payment?
When I see the codes. Not to worry. I thought we could have tea. No diamonds, no codes. No codes, no diamonds. Kill this one. ETHAN: We didn't come alone.
That hallway out there is a kill-box. You know who we work for. We come back with the codes, or we don't come back. How good is your backup? I've killed the best. Do you care for some sugar?
Let's get this done. You want payment, I want guarantees.
When he's authenticated the codes, I'll make the call and you get your diamonds. That or we all go home in buckets.
Nobody leaves this hotel alive. Get the papers. Is there a problem? Ah, forgive me. There must be a key.
One moment, huh? It is a combination, not a key.
You tell me the numbers. They're good. Come on, come on, come on. It was a pleasure doing business with. Wistrom has the launch codes.
He's on the move. Hey, I did as you asked.

Now let my family go! Release Leonid's family. You can thank him in person. It was a pleasure doing business with you. Moreau's on the move! I've got her. She's an asset!
I need her alive! Uh, Ethan, Wistrom is in the elevator.
I can't see Leonid, though. Benji, slow him down. Get me an elevator. Benji, I've got a lock on Wistrom. But I can't tell.
Is he still in the elevator? Benji, I lost. Ethan, can you hear me? Ethan, can you hear me? Because if I do, I'll kill her. Hold it, Team Leader.
Did you really think I wouldn't catch up with you? You and I are not enemies. It was a set-up. We'll find out your lies soon enough.
I'm sorry about this. Go for Benji. I've got Leonid by the elevators. He's been shot. Stay with me. Stay with me. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Now, what happened with Moreau, Jane? She couldn't help us with Hendricks. So let's throw her off the building! I didn't throw her.
Let's throw her off the building! She was not the mission, Jane!
The mission was to track the file back to Hendricks, who is in the wind with nuclear launch codes! Maybe you didn't notice the gun she had pointed at me. Yeah, like you didn't notice the open window, or that we're about a mile up in the air! It was an instinctive move. It doesn't matter! We're talking about a nuclear war. The asset is more important than you.
Where do you get off telling me how well I executed? We inherited you. You're just a bureaucrat! Better have good news for me. You think I need you to tell me what the mission is?
Yeah, I got it. Dunhill lighter. I'll be there. And no one will be following me. Just make sure no one's following you.
And how the hell did the Russians find us? - What are you asking me for? - Because you're communications! You're in charge of covering our tracks. You cannot afford to make mistakes like that now, Benji.
You're not a technician anymore. You're a field agent. And you're just an 'analyst.' Who are you really, Brandt? - What are you asking? - What am I asking?
Let me see if I can put it another way. How does an agent with skills like that end up an analyst? Well, we all have our secrets. Don't we, Ethan? You tell me yours, I'll tell you mine. I have friends in the region.
Just sit tight. I'll send someone to get you out of here.
What about Hendricks? What's the plan? The plan was for us to stop him together.
Well, what are you going to do? Change the plan. What are you going to do, go after him alone? Would you care to explain yourself, Agent Brandt? I was on a protection detail in Croatia.
Shadowing the assets, husband and wife. They were never supposed to know we were there.
Whole thing's routine, it was a milk run. Three days in we caught wind that a Serbian hit squad was after our couple. But my team had it under control.
We knew they were coming. But I couldn't shake this feeling that I should warn the couple somehow. I wanted to find a way to let them know. But, you know, orders are orders, so I didn't.
One day, the husband decides to leave the hotel and go for a run, so I follow him, and I leave two men with the wife. When I get back, my guys are unconscious and the wife is gone. Local police found her body three days later. What was left of her, anyway. That was my last day in the field.
I couldn't face another life-or-death situation after that. So what happened to the husband? I never saw him again. Until two days ago in Moscow, when the Secretary introduced me to Ethan Hunt. No, that's not what happened. She left him. Yeah, I heard that one, too, Benji.
But, unfortunately, I was there. Just like I was there when the Secretary got the phone call that Ethan was in custody for killing six Serbian nationals in cold blood. An unsanctioned hit.
The next thing I know, I'm on a plane to Dubai, wondering the whole time, do I tell him? How do I tell him?
That I'm responsible. I could have warned him. I should have warned him. But I didn't. And she died.
Sergei, my friend! I told you I would get him here.
Didn't I say? How do I know it's him? Yes, it's him.
You trust me, I trust you. This is the guy!
This is the guy, the one I told you about. So we can take these things off. He's a great guy, but he doesn't know you like I do. So, you work for the American government. And you're an arms dealer. He's 'independent defense coordinator.' That you are.
Very classy job. He's a friend. Those diamonds are for Bogdan. You can have them. Whatever arrangements you made with my cousin is between you and him.
You want something from me, you pay. You misunderstand. I'm not buying. You're selling. Selling what?
Yeah, I got all I need, thank you. Our countries are on the brink of war.
War is very good for business. I'm looking for a man named Kurt Hendricks. You may know him as Cobalt. In either case, I think you know what he wants. I'll bet he even tried to buy it from you at some point. He has a case, he has codes.
But they're worthless without a tactical satellite. I want to know where he'd get it. A man with information like that would be a potential terrorist. And to your government, a potential terrorist is a terrorist. If you help me, my friends become your friends. I cannot help you.
I certainly cannot tell you that Russia quietly sold an obsolete tactical satellite to a certain telecom in Mumbai. And whoever gave them that idea? An enterprising third party. Working on commission. Helping old friends. Making new ones.
Can the satellite be shut down? That would take special skills, and you cannot do it alone. What's in the bags? It's our gear. How'd you get it? Made a friend. Well, I'm glad we could help.
You could help now. Look, Ethan, before we. Whatever happened, happened. We still have a chance to clean this up, but we have to do it now. And we have to do it together. So, where are we going? Love the jet.
Wait till you see the car. How have you been, old friend? Oh, it's you.
I've been busy with other things. But I'll be after you again soon enough.
I understand you're looking for an American. You're also looking for a nuclear launch device stolen from the Kremlin two days ago. I can help you find both. We can come to an understanding. Multimedia tycoon. On the surface, his entire network is state-of-the-art. But it's built on illegally acquired Cold War cast-offs, including this, the Novosti satellite.
Hendricks needs it to launch a nuclear strike, and we have to shut it down before he gets that chance. And to do that, we need to get the access code from him. One way or another.
And if I don't, none of this works. You can do this. A week ago, I would have believed you.
I don't blame you for what happened. She took someone you cared about. That's not something you just let go. Did it make you feel better?
When you killed the men who killed your wife? We can't get them back. Okay, to shut down the satellite, we have to manually tap into the central server. You'll enter through the exhaust vent, wearing this under your suit. Drop down into the computer array, and I'll catch you, then move you along the relay room and you jack into the panel. Okay, so we enter the party separately as guests.
Ethan quarterbacks while Jane. Gets the codes from the billionaire. I switch off the fan, you jump into the computer array, and I catch you, you plug in the transmitter then Ethan feeds me the codes which I then use to pinpoint Hendricks' location. Okay, but you just breezed over something I think is really important. The computer array part, where I just. And I catch you.
Why is that so hard to grasp? It's a 25-foot drop. And we're using magnets. In light of our recent efforts, the technology's. The science is sound.
I'd be more worried about the heat. And then there's that.
Well, it's like any computer, isn't it? If you switch off the fan, it's gonna get really hot! Relatively, you know.
Of course it will. So I'm jumping into a. Uh, an oven, essentially. But, um, I'll catch you. Aapka swagat hai, sir. Welcome, sir.
Saturn's got your five-by-five, Jupiter. This is Pluto. I have arrived at the party. Get us that code. Venus moving in on target. You do make an impression.
Why am I Pluto? It's not even a planet anymore. Well, I think Uranus is available. It's funny 'cause you said '.' I'm in position.
Sending in the Rover. He's moving to you. Give him your back. Don't want to make it too easy for him.
Are you gonna be talking the whole time? In 20 minutes, I want a glass of Cuvee Louis in every guest's hand. And make sure all of them have a bottle to take home by the end of the night. Impressed yet? I'm more of a bourbon girl. I'm Brij Nath. Welcome to my humble home.
And Rover's in position. Spinning down the turbine. He's e-mailing.
More of a co-worker. Saturn, take the leap. And I catch you. So, you're sure about this suit, right, Benji?
Now you're pretty sure? Jupiter, he's gone.
Did you jump? Should I not have jumped? 'Cause I jumped! I'm playing a hunch. Don't hit me. My God, you are a passionate creature. I would like to show you my collection of art.
I was waiting for you to ask. Then you have to find me. I'm heading upstairs. All right, now be careful, because it's probably getting a bit hot.
We have to get to that satellite before Hendricks does. I find your capricious passion intriguing. Let me tell you one thing.
He's not your type. Completely not your type. He's completely cold.
Like all Indian men, I'm very hot. Eight o'clock. He's at your eight o'clock. As you move towards me, you're getting hotter. Too much, too much, too much! I'd heard you have one of the finest private collections in the world.
Well, at the very least, it's private. How we doing in the relay room? I see the satellite.
Can I help you, gentlemen? I don't think so. Need those codes, guys.
All originals from Chhatarpur District. You know, the Tantrics believe that the Swadhisthana chakra hides our most subconscious of desires. Uplink to satellite.
Reboot to original military specs. Download the virus. What the hell is that? What the hell is what? It's going haywire! It's downloaded a virus from the satellite. Hendricks is killing the server before we can kill the satellite.
Hendricks is reprogramming the satellite. He's gonna have launch capability in five minutes! - Something wrong? Jane, you gotta move. We need that code.
Finally we're alone. Venus, now's the time. Kick his. and get the code. We are alone, aren't we? No one will interrupt us. Move and I break your neck.
The override sequence for the relay station. Say it now or never speak again.
Benji, what happened? The system's crashed! We're too late. He's revealed himself. Benji, can you pinpoint Hendricks' location? Uh, Hendricks is signaling out of a state-run TV station 6.7 miles from here. Send me the coordinates.
Good work, Brandt. Now get the hell out of there. Jane, tie it off with Nath and meet me at the rally point.
Sleep tight Faster, Benji! Just straight through! Take me through! It's not responding!
A little bit of patience would be appreciated! I can't reach the top! There's nothing I can do! It's maxed out!
Next time, I get to seduce the rich guy. Satellite weaponized and online.
Upload the new authentication codes. Lock Russian Central Command out of the system. Isolate the sub.
We'll fire just one missile, an apparent retaliation for the Kremlin. That should start the ball rolling.
I'm here, Ethan. How long until Hendricks can launch a missile? Less than 30 seconds! We need another route.
Turn left up ahead, take the alley on the right. We have uplink. Ethan, Hendricks has started the launch sequence. How much time until missiles are flying? Three minutes!
We're three and a half minutes out. We can make it. Connect to Central Command for launch verification. Proceed with Operation 'Iron Fist'.
Command to Launch is confirmed. Cease all further communication. Over and out. We're too late.
The missile's in the air. There has to be a way to abort the warhead.
If there is one, it'll be on the launch device. We're gonna get that case.
May there be peace on Earth. Disable the relay. Inside, inside! Wistrom destroyed the relay. Ethan went after Hendricks and the case, but. Doesn't matter if he has the case. We can't transmit the abort codes.
Can you fix it? It's gonna be pointless if we don't have any power. No, you are not okay. You stay here and cover Benji.
Benji, get this thing rewired and back online. I'll get the power on. We can do this.
I'm taking that briefcase! He's been gone too long. When the power comes on, these two drives go into this bay, okay? Mission accomplished! Don't touch him! This one is mine. So, we are not enemies.
The phone call from that arms dealer in Dubai. You wanted me to find you. How else to believe this?
And in other news, eight weeks later, the debate continues. Eyewitnesses remain adamant that the object was some sort of aircraft, but officials with the Department of Defense insist it was simply a meteor large enough to be visible during daylight. You actually said that.
'Mission accomplished.' You're still corny, Ethan. I can't imagine the look on that guy's face. This must be them.
Luther Stickell, the firm of Carter, Dunn and Brandt. I blew an entire weekend on the bottom of the San Francisco Bay no thanks to you clowns. No, man, you know I got this.
I'll see you in Kandahar. Thanks for meeting me. So, I hear the insurance company's refusing to pay the claim on that car you crashed, Ethan. Something about intentional 100-meter vertical drops not being covered. How's the leg? Still working.
I'm fine, by the way. I mean, I'm not actually sleeping, per se. Middle of the night. All these people are just happy and smiling and they are completely oblivious to the fact that they were almost vaporized. And if it hadn't been for. I mean, look, we were unprepared, in the dark. And the only thing that functioned properly on that mission was this team.
I don't know how we ended up together, but I'm glad we did. Your missions. Choose to accept them. Hey, look, I'm in. It's not as if any mission is gonna be rougher than the last one, is it?
I mean, that's just. Thanks, Ethan. Agent Carter. I'm not picking up that phone, Ethan, because I don't think you want me in the field. I know your wife is dead. I was there in Croatia. I was there for one reason.
And I failed. It was my job to protect her. How do you know she's dead? There was a body. Did you see it? You killed those Serbians.
I had to get her back. You were sent to Rankow Prison. That was a sacrifice I was willing to make.
IMF suspected Hendricks had people in Rankow. And six dead Serbians was the ideal cover. Waste not, want not. The Secretary never told me. I accepted the Rankow Prison mission on one condition: That no one could know she was still alive. But you're telling me. When did you find out that I was in Croatia?
I pulled your file after India. So you had to fake your wife's death.
As long as we were together, she could never be safe. It wasn't your job to protect her, Brandt.
So we're good. Good evening, Mr. 36 hours ago, there was a breach in our military's communication network. Now, an emerging terror organization known as The Syndicate has control of our entire drone fleet. Their targets: Unknown. Your mission, should you choose to accept it.

Hey, how did you manage to leave the cell? How did you come out of cell? How did you come out?
Return back to the cell! I told you to go back to the cell! Let's give you a few friends to play with. Send the guards there! Okay, I'm set.
How is things going down below? How do you think? I am in a sewer. Doors do not open.
We're stuck here. Alarm goes off. We are in danger!
We ask for reinforcements! - We need reinforcements. We have a problem in sector 2E.
I'm in position. Move to phase two. Wha,what are you doing? What are you doing? What's wrong?
What's happening, Benji? He is not gonna be in the extraction point.
He knows where he's going. No, no, I'm not.
No, I wouldn't, I would not open that door, please. Go to the extraction point, Ethan. I know, I know what this means, but I, I can't. I'm not authorized. Go to the extraction point, Ethan.
Go to the extraction point! O, we gonna, each we gonna wait, we gonna wait,we gonna wait. Right, I can wait. You just, just screw the whole thing up, on purposed. What do you mean nobody works?
Ah.Jane, we gonna have a slight delay. Why do you wanna go in there? - You mean now? I don't know what he's doing, and for some reasons I'm helping him As long as he's in his ways should be in the sunk end ah, we have a passenger. This is a dead end! Sergey, do not tell me that this is the end of our escape route. Agent Hunt?
- And you're? Agent Carter.
Who's your pal? - I tell you on the way. Light the fuse!
- Sergey, what happens here? - Everything is fine, Bogdan. I don't mean to bring up elephant in the room, but what's the big hairy Russian? He said me intel. If I left him there, they would kill him. So we're gonna give him his freedom.
Did you call these sweepers? - Yeah, they're on their way - Good, good. Benji, how is it you're here? Oh, I passed a few exam. Crazy, right? Yeah, it's crazy. It's procedure.
I'm just confirming it's you. You're very thorough. Sergei, are you not Russian? - Yes perhaps. Sweeps are approaching, brooms are edged. Roger that. Sergei, are you not Sergei?
You'll be fine. I always take care of my friends. Messy bringing him along?
- I thought it went rather well. You want telling me what are you doing in Russian prison? Wanna tell me why you brought me up? This wasn't a rescue mission? Let me put it this way.
If The Secretary wanted me out of there, must be pretty bad out here. We were after a file. Who lost it, you?
- Agent Hanaway. Where is Hanaway? It was a little drop. Classified file.
It should've been a simple intercept. They knew, which train the courier was on. ETA 2 minutes on the courier. But there is one thing we didn't know. Your train six minutes. Who the courier was.
Now or never, Bob Cap. Who's delivering the file, what's his name?
- Go ahead, shoot. We're out of time. I need a name, folks.
You can't track all these people at once. Aargh, Marek.Stefanski. For the love of God. You got it? - Marek Stefanski. I'll take it from here.
Are you allright, buddy? Hanaway dropped Marek, and grab his bag. Get your breath. He had the file in his in hands.
Easy in easy out. File's secured. But we weren't the only ones after it. Bob Cap, someone else is scratched this party.
I'm not alone. Local police?
Armed hostils. Maintain, I'm coming. I will get him backing up.
Negative, Operator. Broad the route southwest corner, 60 seconds. Hanaway's lens came to facial matched.
And triggered a warning. But it was too late. You're gonna be okay. You're so beautiful.
I should've told you. It was my op. I put him in the field. And she left him just alive enough for me to see him die. You know her?
- Sabine Moreau. Contract killer. Works for diamonds.
Who is in the file? Russian nuclear launch codes. IMF's been looking for emerging extremist, codenamed Cobalt. He's determined to detonate a nuclear weapon however he can.
We know Moreau works for him before. What else did IMF know about him?
As much as you do now. But if Moreau has nuclear launch codes, you can bet Cobalt's confirmed person of interest to enemy number one. Agent confirmed. Why was he in prison? He disobeyed.
After he and his wife. I thought he just been transferred. There were rumours then. To work on the unsanctioned hit. Welcome back, Mr. In your absence, IMF has learnt that Cobalt is, or was, a level one nuclear strategist for Russian Intelligent.
Therefore, the only way to uncover his actual identity is to infiltrate the Kremlin itself. In order to get passed their checkpoints, you'll be impersonating General Anatoly Fedorov. We believe Cobalt will do everything he can to destroy any record of his identity. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to penetrate the highly secured archive inside the Kremlin. And retrieve Cobalt's file, before he can destroy it. New intel suggests Cobalt is already in route, leaving you.
4 hours 52 minutes to infiltrate. To save time, we've chosen your team for you. Agent Carter and Dunn. As always, should you or any member of your team, be caught or killed. The Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions. This message will self-destruct in 5 seconds.
Good luck, Ethan. What do you got? We're going into the Kremlin. I thought you said 'the Kremlin.' I thought you said 'the Kremlin'. This is very exciting. Being on the field.
With you, you know. It's a bit of a dream. I love your disguise by the way. You look just like him. It's a shame would wear a masks. You know like a full masks.
Everybody get to wear a mask, but Benji. I babbled when I am nervous. When doing it again, shut up it. Okay, settle secure to go, that's x-ray machines, cameras.
Metal detectors. Just what we expected. We can do this.
Releasing in three, two, one. Going fast, going fast, Kremlin going fast. I am Major Yegorov.
Show me the documents, please. Don't you think I am? It's not found.
Try it again, Major. Excuse me, General. I did not recognize. You should be kicked out, Major Yegorov. I think might not going well.
I'm sorry, by the way. About you and Julia. Not working if i may. I wanted to say something before you ran away but I.I liked it. Here, he's off the phone now. The disks are empty. Check in, team leader.
Repeat, check in, team leader. Have you made it to the archive room? Captain, one is in the archive! Someone is pickybacking our frequency. Team leader, awaiting your go sign.
Standing by to detonate. Rendezvous nod 2. Close the gate! Our media is no more thruthful than yours.American.
But we both know, that there'll cause of the explosion was you. Awaiting your go sign, Team leader. Standing by to detonate. The worst part for you, team leader. Is I'm the man assigned to make you suffer for it, for what you did to my country. This is clinic, not a bar. Stop looking at me.
Misha, help me with him. I think you're proud to have survived.
I have a few questions I would ask them. Watch where you walk! - Go and get my car. Not a good idea. Seem like one. A minute ago. What are you doing?
I can not believe it. All units, we have a fugitive. He took her to the west.
Insolidated insurance. How may I help you?
Agent A2 delta echo requesting immediate 'evac'. Rendezvous Alpha 1-1-3. Anna, Anna, Anna.
I told myself. We should leave town for a couple of days. Alex, you, me.
Who we will go, father? Just, just the three of us. Where will we go?
(news).has been transported to anear hospital for treatment. While Russian Officials continue to blame a gas main break. Experts has citing the shape of the blast area, and the size of debris field is more consistent with anonymous sand explosive.
Any speculations may have been an undeclared act of aggression. Although the Defence Ministry is maintaining that this is strictly an accident. Anna, pack a bag for Alex. We're leaving now. We have work to do.
There's in no way you're in Russia. Not since a bomb blew up the Kremlin. Yesterday I flew in to accept the order of friendship from Russian Prime Minister. Now I'm headed back to Washington, to hand the President my resignation. My chief analyst, William Brandt. A pen - Pardon me? Ethan, what happened in the Kremlin?
Chief analyst you say? - I'm implying that I made about a call. Europian male. Fifties, about 6 foots, 180 pounds, blue eyes. Crude drawing, but by your description. That could be Kurt Hendricks. Professor of Physics, Stockholm University Specialist in nuclear and game theory.
Asked to resign. Well, because he's crazy. You have to allert the Kremlin that one of their strategist has a nuclear launch device. And what if his operative has the code activated What makes you say that? Leaving the executive armory bag in hand, he set off that explosion to cover his tracks.
It maybe weeks before the Russians know it's missing. Unless we tell them. They won't listen to us. As far as the Russian has concerned, we just bombed the Kremlin. Tension between United States and Russia, hasn't been this high since the Cuban Missile Crisis. And the blame, right or wrong, points to IMF.
President has innitiated Ghost Protocol. The entire IMF has been disavowed. So what's happened now? Now I've been ordered to take you back to Washington. Where D.O.D will labelled you as rough extremist, and hang the Kremlin bombing on you and your team. You were to escape somewhere between here and the airport airing on assaulted Mr.
Brandt and me. You will then illegally scrounge whatever material you could from backup supply cash.
That I've overlooked the same cash.for your team awaiting for further orders. Sir, you may wanna read.
You will then disappeared. And this conversation never having taken place. But your intention would be unclear. But if anyone of your team is caught or killed, they will be branded terrorists, out to incite a global nuclear war. Your mission. Should you choose to accept it.
Ethan, you're my best man. And I'm sorry it's come to this, after all the sacrifices you've made. We don't meet again, I just want you to know. I will always consider you a friend. Drive, drive, drive! - Are you okay?
Take deep breaths, stay with me. yes What do we do? Where else to might I go?
Hey, hey, hey. Hold your fire!
Hold your fire! Perhaps more are still alive.
Today, in a nearby prison two inmates escaped. What we know about him? Why would that work?
- Why what work? - The flare on the body. What watt were they work? - They did work. Yeah, I know that.
I mean, how did you know that would draw their fire? I played a hunch. What was your scenario? Right, there was a guy being shot at the water. All the sudden, such a light out of a flare, turn around? I mean, what you assume maybe thinking - thinking?
I didn't assume they were thinking. I assumed they were shooting at anything to move and that just give them a target. These guys are not schollars, you know? - This is really happening, isn't it?
You know what that sound is? - It's our ride out of here. Our ride's green car, with 47. Okay, Let's do it! Go, go, go, go! - I don't see it. Forty seven.
Where's the pass? Enter your code. Retinal scanner. Retinal scan required.
Retinal scan required. Agent confirmed. Geez, I thought you were died. Who's this? Dunn and Carter. William Brandt, chief analyst. Agent confirmed.
Power of the world finally end. It is my job to predict the unthinkable.
To treat the death of billions as a game. After 20 years of this, I was none. Until a new question crossed my mind.
What happens after the end of the world? Are you sure your line is secure? Every 2 or 3 million years. Are you certain your line is secure? Some natural catastrophy devastates all life on earth.
But life goes on. And what little remain is made stronger. Put simply world destruction, isn't unpleasant.but necessary part of evolution. What happens then, I wondered. When mankind faces the next end of the world. I don't care what you have to do, to get him to Dubai. I'll make you worse as well.
I look to Hiroshima, Nagasaki. Well, I'll be waiting for your call. Thriving cities, rebuilt from the ashes. Monuments to unimaginable dedicated to the concept of peace. It's occured to me here, that nuclear war.
Might have a place in the natural order. But only if it could be controlled. Only if attached every living song equally.
IMF and I believe this man, Kurt Hendricks, is a nuclear extremist. Codename, Cobalt. Today he was seen leaving the Kremlin, that would most likely a nuclear launch device.
A few days ago, Sabine Moreau killed one of our agents in Budapest. We believe him off Russian nuclear launch code. Intel indicates she would check in the Burj Hotel in Dubai in 36 hours. Mariusz Wistrom is known operative of Cobalt. Wistrom is currently on route to Dubai.
For the launch device to work, Cobalt needs the activation codes. He's sending Wistrom, to buy them from Moreau. The Secretary is dead.
The President has invoked Ghost Protocol. We're shut down.
No satellites, safehouse, support or extraction. The four of us. And the content of this car are all that remain of the IMF.
And as if this moment any actions are unsanctioned. So if you want out, speak now. Our mission is Hendricks. We're all distance between him and his goal, nothing can be left to chance. Everyone connected with this man is considered an asset with valuable information about our target. No one can know we're still online.
We lose Hendricks now, we lose him forever. So, what's the plan? Wistrom will take delivery from Moreau in 36 hours. Now we can not let the launch codes leave the hotel.
But we need Wistrom to lead us to Hendricks. Yeah, we only do that if he has the codes - Or if he thinks he has it. Objective. Is to intercept the sale. Place the authentic codes with counterfeits.
and follow Wistrom to Hendricks. Well, that's, that's simple enough.
We just, we snatch the codes, we generate some fakes. Jane, you double Moreau and sell the codes to Wistrom. And bob your ankle. And how do you propose, that we just snatch the code from Moreau? You take her out. Yeah, we take her out,but you know, discreetly. Discreetly?
- Right, she's an asset. Nothing left to chance, he said.
I'm just, I'm a spit bowling. You know, it's not all gonna be go. We don't touch Wistrom.
All right.or Moreau. As you asked for Hanaway, but it has to be when I say. After we had Hendricks. Only pack what we need. Yeah absolutely.
Only pack what we need. You never know. DUBAI So even if we can double Wistrom and Moreau, How do we keep them in separate rooms, Or having they think they are in the same room? We give the hotel a facelift. Wistrom will think he's arriving at Moreau's suite.
But really, he will be walking into our decoy room. Where I'll double Moreau.
Downstairs Benji will double Wistrom. And meet with real Moreau. And eh, huh, What am I doing?
You're the helper. So, to the extent understand what are you talking about here. Uhm, Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world. And you want to alter its infrastructure, with the hopes of convincing two people that they had a meeting, which actually really never happened. ETA on dry cleaning. I'm on my way out.
Okay, 34 minutes to doorknock. This, this is a slight wrinkle. Nothing, nothing to worry about.
We're just gonna have to go into server room, from the outside. Well, the firewalls in this building serve a military grade. I mean, this would be a synched if I could call Yusuf back at headquarter, but Yusuf doen't exist anymore, and neither do we.
I could hack it, but it would take too long. Their hardware in. And there's four layers of an exchange security because not in server-in. And there is no way we can get into it from inside.
If we can't get through the server, we don't control the elevators, we don't control security cameras. This operation is over even before it begins. I'm telling you we can get to it from outside. I'm, I'm on the computer. What floor is it now? - pressure's unstiff. Don't have enough time.
Elevator shaft. infrared sensors. Don't have enough time. How am I suppose to do this? Oh, that's high. Okay, now remember, it's a rolling off motion, that disengages the bond. When the emitter is blue, that's full adhesion.
Easy way to remember. 'Blue is glue.' - And when it's red?
Ah, here's your cutter, okay? And your server interface. Both going back here. Okay Ethan, holds-all service, 11 stories up and 7 units over. Yeah, copy.
It's 26 minutes to doorknock. What the hell is that? Hell, what the hell is that? It's a sandstorm. It's a long way off, Ethan.
There's shouldn't be a problem. Where is Ethan? You gotta be kidding me.
I'm in the server level. Your countdown is not helping. I'm just saying. That's great, Ethan. You're half way home. Located server. Please tell me we're online.
All right, we're live. Okay, now I have control of the elevators. And the security cameras. Time to evacuate.
You drive, and look out for Wistrom and Moreau. Moreau is at the elevator. It has resceduled.
We can't open this door, can we? Ethan you gotta get down here now. Is there a problem? - We're not gonna make it.
We have to make it. Where is Ethan? - Your line is not long enough! That was not easy, but I, I did it.
What I missed? The lense might be a little uncomfortable.
It captures images and transmits them to the printer in the briefcase. I can't see, one eye right of it, fine.
Blinks twice to activate the shutter. Notice, the numbers are in order. A perfect copy. But the numbers are scrambled. Ah, 60 seconds.
Are you sure that I shouldn't wear a mask? You know, cause I'm not exactly Omar Sharif. I'll play a french. This is you tracking device. This is what you're tracking.
paper clip? No, it's a paper. It's in the briefcase. It's caught to be isotops, which should give a unique. It just means that you can track documents, even if they switch briefcases.
Not that good, like a half a mile (800 meters). Safest thing to do not let Wistrom out of your sight. Is that Wistrom? Who's out with him? - I don't know. We don't have an uplink, so there's no facial recognition.
Who's out with him? That's Leonid Lisenker. Polish phone cryptographer. He redesigned Russia's nuclear security at the Cold War. He set off to authenticate the launch codes.
yeah shit, we are blown. No, no, no. Well, we'll would be as soon as he sees the counterfeit launch codes. We're not alone.
He's in the elevator. Benji, how long would take it reprogram the case? Ah, a couple seconds. Wow, What for that? - To make an exact copy of the launch codes.
You can't do that. Wistrom's on 22. Slow him down. I do what I can. Wait, wait, Ethan! Hang on now, hang on, just a second!
You, you're talking about handing over active nuclear launch code to Wistrom? - the case, reprogram the case. Listen, listen, stop! Listen, listen. You're saying you're fixating, you're thinking clearly.
Listen, that's not gonna happened! - I won't allow it.
33, and climbing. Brandt, use your head. The mission is not the code, the mission is Hendricks. And this little play out, give him back codes neutralize it. You know that won't do it. Failure to a terrorist.just a rehearsal for success.
We lose Hendricks today, he shows up somewhere else tomorrow. He finds another way. With no IMF to stop him. Now, it's now or never. Now hand me the case. Nothing left to chance.
You said that! You're the analyst. Now tell me.there's another way for Hendricks to get those codes.
You tell me that this is only happened right here, right now. You tell me that, I'll walk away. We go without! - Without masks?
- Changes to go. We have no choice. Ethan, you will be walking on Moreau unarmed. Face first. How do we know they've met? - How do we know they haven't? - It doesn't matter!
We have no choice. What if they have met? Which of one you is Wistrom? Which one of you is Wistrom? I admire your work. Where are my codes?
Where are my diamonds? - You have my payment? - When I see the codes. Not to worry. I thought we could have tea. Madam moiselle. No diamonds, no codes.
No codes, no diamonds. Kill this one! - We didn't came alone. That hole I lay out there is killbox.
You know who we work for. We come back for its codes, or we don't come back. How good is your backup?
Kill them the best. Do you care for some sugar? Let's get this done. You want payment? I want guarantees.
When he's authenticated the codes, I'll make a call and get your diamonds. We alll go home in buckets. Nobody leaves this hotel alive.
Get the papers. Is there a problem? - It's locked.
Ah, forgive me. There must be a key. It is a combination.
You tell me the numbers! Zero zero zero Come on, come on, come on, came on, came on. It was a pleasure doing business with.
Wistrom has launch codes and he's on the move. Hey, I did what you asked, I did! - Now let my family go. Release Leonid's family. You can thank me in person. It was a pleasure doing business with you.
Moreau's on the move! I've got her. Jane, she's an asset. I need her alive. Ah, Ethan, Wistrom is in the elevator.
I can't see Leonid there. Benji, slow it down.
Give me an elevator. I'll handle it. Benji, I got a lot call of Wistrom, but I can't tell. Is he still in the elevator? - Ethan, over! Benji, I lost.
Ethan, can you hear me? Ethan, can you hear me?
- Why, why me? If I'd do it, I'll kill her. Hold it, Team Leader. Do you really think I wouldn't catch up of you?
You and I are not enemies. It was a setup. We'll find out your lies soon enough. I'm sorry about this. Cover Benji! I've got Leonid by the elevator, he's been shot.
Hey, hey, stay with me, stay with me! 'No, no no no no no no no no no. Now what happened with Moreau, Jane? - She couldn't help us with.
Yeah, so let's throw her off the building? - I didn't throw her! - That's throw her off the building! She was not the mission, Jane. The mission was to track the file back to Hendricks. Whose in the wind. Better have good news for me.
Talk to you later. I'll be there. But no one will be following me.
Just make sure no one's following you. And how the hell that the Russians find us?
- Why do you ask me for? Because you are in communication. You in charge covering our tracks. We can not afford to make mistakes like that now, Benji. You are not a technician anymore. You're field agent. And you're just an analyst?!
Who are you really, Brandt? - What do you ask me? - What am I asking? Let me see if I can put in another. How does an agent whose skills like that, end up an analyst?
What if we all have secrets? Tell me, Ethan. You tell me yours, I tell you mine. I'm all clear.
I have friends in the region. Just sit tight.
I'll send someone to get you out of here. What about Hendricks? What's the plan? The plan was first to stop him together. And what would you gonna do? - Change the plan.
Wait, that's it? What we gonna do? Go after him alone? You can explain yourself, agent Brandt? I was in a protection detail in Croatia. Shadowing the assets, husband and wife.
We were never suppose to know we were there. Whole things routines as in no crap. Three years in,we caught wind that this Serbian hit squad was after our couple. But my team had it under control, I knew that they would coming. But I couldn't shake this feeling that I should warn the couple somehow. Find the way to let them know But you know, orders are oders, so I didn't.
One day, the husband decides to leave the hotel and go for a run. So I followed him. And leave to men with the wife. When I get back, My guys were unconscious and the wife is gone.
Local police found the body three days later. What was left over anyway. It was my last day on the field. I couldn't face another life or death situations after that. So, what happened with her husband? Never saw him again. Until two days ago, in Moscow, when the Secretary introduced me to Ethan Hunt.
No, that's not what happened. She left him, you know. I heard that one too, Benji. But, unfortunately, I was there. Just like I was there when the Secretary got the phone call.that Ethan was in custody for killing 6 Serbian nationals in cold blood.
ah, I'm sorry, shouldn't hit? Last thing I know. I am on the plane to Dubai. Wondering the old time. Do I tell him? How do I tell him? That I'm responsible.
I could've warned him. I should've warned him. But I didn't.
And she died. Sergei, my friend! I told you, I was gathered here. Didn't I say? - I don't know it's him? - Yes, it's him. You trust me, I trust you, right?
This is the guy! This is the guy, the one I told you about.
Mission Impossible 3 Script
So, we can take these things off. Sorry, he's a great guy, but he doesn't know you like I do, you understand. So, you work for American government? - And you are an arm stealer. Sergei, Sergei!
He's independent defense coordinator, right? That's right, very classic job. Listen, he's a friend.
Those diamonds are for Bogdan. No, no, it's okay. He can have it. Whatever arrangements you made with my cousin, it's between you and him. You want something from me, you pay. You misunderstand. I am not buying.
Selling what? - The future.
Yeah, I got all I need, thank you. Our countries are on the break of war. War is very good for business. I'm looking for a man named Kurt Hendricks. You may know him as Cobalt.
In this case, I think you know what he wants. I bet he even try to buy it from you at some point. He has a case, he has codes. But they're worthless without tactical satellite. I want to know where he get it. A man with information like that would be a potential terrorist.
And to your governmentt, a potential terrorist is a terrorist. Do you help me? My friends become your friends.
I can not help you. I certainly can not tell you that, Russia quitely sold an obselete technical satellite. To a certain telecom in Mumbai.
Mission Impossible Assignment Script
And who ever gave them that idea? An enterprising third party. Working on commission. Helping old friends, making new ones.
Can the satellite be shut down? - That would take a special skills then.
You can not do it alone. What's in the bags?
- It's our gear. How'd you get it? - Made a friend. I'm glad we could help.
You can help now. Look Ethan, before. Whatever happened, happened. We still have a chance to clean this up. But we have to do it now, we have to do it together. Yeah sure, where are we going?
- Yeah, sure. Love the jet! Where do you see the car? - (in Russian) What are you doing, man? I was worried for nothing.
I heard that you're looking for the U.S. And launching devices were stolen yesterday.
I can help you find them. If you agree with that. Multimedia tycoon.
On the surface, this turn network as state of the art but its build time illegally acquired Cold War cast off including this,the Novosti satellite. Hendricks needs it to launch a nuclear strike, and we have to shut it down, before he gets that chance. And to do that we need to get the acess codes from him, one way or another.
And if I don't. None of this works. You can do this. A week ago I would've believed you. I don't blame you for what happened. She took someone you cared about.
That just not something.you just, let go. Did that make you feel better?
When you kill the man who killed your wife? We can't get them back. Okay, to shut down the satellite we have to manually tap into the central server. And you'll enter through the exhaust vent wearing this under your suit.
I'll drop down into the computer ray and I'll catch you, and we have you along the relay room and you jack into the panel. Okay, so we enter the party separately as guests Ethan quarterbacks, while Jane gets the codes. From billionaire, I switch off the vent, you jump into the computer, and I'll catch you, you plug in the transmitter, Ethan feeds me the codes, which I then use to pinpoit Hendricks' location. Okay, you breach over something, I think it really important to computer array, part. And I catch you. Why is it so hard to grasp? It, it's 25 foot drop.
and it's using magnets. Yeah In lye of our recent efforts, the technology is. Science is sign.
I'd be more worried about the heat. And then there is that. Well it's like any computer, isn't it? If you switch off the fan, it's gonna get really hot.
Relatively, you know. Of course it will. So I'm jumping into a.
Yeah, acentually. But.uhm, I'll catch you. MUMBAI Com check? Saturn got you 5 by 5, Jupiter. This is Pluto.
I have arrived at the party. Get us that code. Venus is moving-in on target. You do make an impression. Why am I Pluto? It's even not a planet anymore.
I think Uranus is available. It's funny cause you said 'anus'. I'm in position. Sending in the robot.
He's moving to you. In your back. Don't wanna make it too easy for him. We can be talking all the time. In 20 minutes I want a glass of Cuve Louis on every guest's hand. And make sure all of them have a bottle take home by the end of the night. Impressed yet?
I'm more a bourbon girl. I am Brij Nath. Welcome to my humble home. Robot's in position.
Spinning down the turbine. He's emailing. Venus, V Venus, V Venus. More of the co-worker. Saturn, take the lead.
Yes, commit jump! - And I catch you. So, ah, you sure about the suit, right, Benji? Now you're pretty sure? Jupiter, he's gone. Did you jumped? - Should I not in jump?
Cause I jumped! I'm playing a hunch. Don't hit me.
My God, you are a passionate creature. I would like to show you my collection of art. I was waiting for you to ask.
Then you have to find me. I'm heading upstairs. All right, and be careful. It probably getting a bit hot. You have to get to that satellite, before Hendricks does. Look left, look up.
I find your complicious passion intriguing. You can keep repeat telling anyone, but he's not your type. Completely not your type. He's completely cold, I'm hot.
Like all Indian men are very hot. As you walk toward me, you're getting hotter.
It's too much! Too much, too much! I heard you have one of the finest private collections in the world. Well, of the very licensed private. Saturn, how are we doing in Relay room? I see the satellite.
Can I help you gentlemen? - I don't think so. I need those codes, guys. All originals from Shatpur district You know the tantrics believe.
That there's lust chakra hide on most subconscious of desires. Uplink to satellite. Reboot to original military specs. Download the virus.
What hell is that? - What the hell is that? - What the hell's what? - It's going haywire!
- It downloaded the virus from the satellite. Hendricks is killing the server, before we can count the satellite. Hendricks is reprogramming the satellite. He's gonna lost its capabilty in five minutes. Is something wrong? Jane, you gotta move.
We need that code. Finally we are alone. Venus, now is your turn. You kick his ass and get the code. We are alone, aren't we?
No one will interrupt us. Move and I break your neck!
The override sequence for the relay station. Say it now, and never speak again! - Benji, what happened? - The system crashed, we're too late.
He reveals himself. Benji, can you pinpoint Hendricks location?
Hendricks is signaling at a state room tv station 6.7 miles from here. Send me the coordinates. Good work Brandt. Now, get the hell out of there.
Jane, time over on Nath. Meet me at the rally point.
Faster, Benji. Just through it trough.
Take me through. It's not responding. A liitle bit of patient would be appreciated.
Ah, can't reach the top! More fan, more fan, more fan! Ther's nothing I can do, it maxed out. Next time, I gonna seduce the rich guy. Satellite's weaponized and online.
Upload the new authentication codes. Lock Russian Central Command out of the system. Isolate the sub, with fire just one missile. An apparent retaliation for the Kremlin.
That should start the ball running. I am here, Ethan.
How long it till Hendricks can launch the missile? Less than 30 seconds. Find another route.
Turn left, up ahead, take the only way on the right. We have uplink. Ethan, Hendricks has started launch sequence. How much time till the missiles are flight? - Three minutes!
We're three and half minutes out. We can make it.
We can make it. Magellan Strait Pacific Ocean Captain! Call the head office to ask if approved launching missiles. I understand!
Iron gun start operation. Confirm the order of attack. Stop communication devices. Ethan, we're too late. The missile in the air. There has to be a way to abort the warhead. If there is a wild on the launch device.
We gonna get that case! May there be peace on Earth. Disable the relay! Inside, inside! Wistrom destroyed the relay.
Ethan ran after Hendricks and case, but. It doesn't matter if he has the case. Can you fix it? - ah yeah, but it's gonna be pointless we don't have any power.
Oh, you are not okay, she's hit. You stay here and cover Benji. Benji, get the single wire back online! - I get the power on. We can do this. I'm taking that briefcase!
- He's been gone too long. Listen, when the power comes on, this two drives are going to this bay, okay? Do not shoot! This one is mine.
So we are not enemies? There a phone call from that arm stealer in Dubai. You wanted me to find you.
How else to deal with all these? SEATTLE (news).some sort of aircraft. But officials of Department of Defense insisted was simply a meteor. Large enough to be visible during daylight. You actually said that? Mission accomplished? - You're still cornered Ethan.
And I can't imagine the look on that guy's face. Basic accounting concepts and principles. Hey - These must be them. Luther Stickell, the affirmative, Carter, Dunn and Brandt. I borrowed an entire week in the bottom of the San Francisco bay Well thanks to you class. How do you know I got this. I see you in Kandahar.
Hey thanks for meeting me. So, I heard the insurance companies refused into pay the claim on that car you crashed, Ethan.
Something about intentional a hundred meters that could drop not being covered. How's the leg? - Still working. I'm fine, by the way. But I'm not actually sleeping per say, you know. Caught sweats, middle of the night.
All these people are just happy and smiling, and they are completely oblivious, for the fact they were almost.vaporized. and if I've been inferred. I mean, look, we were unprepared, in the dark, disavowed.
The only thing that functioned properly on that mission, was this team. I don't know how we ended up together, but I'm glad we did. Your missions. Choose to accept them. You know, I am in. Seriously, this is not as hard as any mission gonna rougher than the last one, is it? A bomb, is it?
- Thanks, Ethan. I thank you.
Agent Hunt. Agent Carter.
I'm not picking up that phone Ethan, because I don't think you want me the field I know your wife is dead. I was there in Croatia. I was there for one reason. And I failed. It was my job to protect her.
How do you know she's dead? - You killed those Serbians. I had to get her back. You sent out to rankout prison. That was a sacrifice I'm willing to make. IMF suspected that Hendricks had people in rankout.
And six dead Serbians was your idea of cover? I always not one, not Secretary never told me. I accepted the direct call prison mission one one condition. No one can know she's still alive.
You telling me. When did you find out that I was in Croatia? - I put your file, after India. So, you had to fake your wife's death. As long as we're together, she can never be safe. It wasn't your job to protect her, Brandt.
So we're good? - We're good. Good evening, Mr. Now, an emerging terror organization known as the Syndicate, has control over entire drone fleet. Your targets: unknown.
