(ELECTRICITY SURGES / SCREAMING) We've put an explosive charge in your head. Does that sound familiar? The Rabbit's Foot, where is it? I gave it to you. Ethan, where's the Rabbit's Foot? Wait... What are you saying? That wasn't it? What I gave you - I'm gonna count to ten. You're gonna tell me where the Rabbit's Foot is, or she dies. Jules, it's gonna be OK. It's gonna be OK. Do you understand? (WHIMPERS) One... You listen to me, I got exactly what you asked for. Did you want something else? If there was a misunderstanding, I will fix it. Two. Listen. Talk to me. We can talk... ..like gentlemen. Three. God! Alright. Alright, alright. I know where the Rabbit's Foot is. I can help you. The way you helped me on the airplane? That way? You put the gun down. I'm not talking to you like this. That's your choice. Four. The Rabbit's Foot's in Paris. You want to know where in Paris? Then let her go. Cos you will not - It's not in Paris. Five. I can get it for you. But kill her, you get nothing. Six. Are you listening to me? The only way you'll get what you want - Do you think I'm playing? Sonofabitch! You don't think I'll do it?! Where is it?! Look at me. Where the hell is it? Stay with me. Seven! Seven! I'm going to kill you. I'm gonna kill you. I swear to God I'm gonna kill you! Eight! No, please. Please. Don't do this. Just let her go. I promise you. I promise you. I can figure out how to get - Nine. Please. Listen to me. Listen to me. I want to help you. I want to help you get whatever you want. But you gotta do what's right. What you know is right. No. No. No. Ten. Don't! # Theme from Mission Impossible # Come into my life # Oh, baby... # What are you doing? Your brother wants another. God, no. I'm watching him. No, that's how it is with Rick. He's fine, and then suddenly he's naked. I'll take full responsibility for Rick. Full? Well, mostly full. It's a huge responsibility. It's going well, right? It's going really well. Yeah. Oh! Julia, your sister's here. Give me a hug. You look beautiful. Oh, I don't know about that. So, this is him? I hope so. Oh, come here. Oh, gosh. Mom's dying to see you. I can't believe you guys came. Like we'd miss your engagement. When Julia called and told me that she was getting married, I had one thought, that it was just too bad... that Daddy wasn't here to walk her down the aisle. And then when Julia told me... Thanks, Mom. ..Ethan doesn't have his parents any more either, I got really sad. But it occurred to me that this is about starting a new family, and how beautiful that is. And I am making Julia an aunt, so I expect the same treatment very, very soon. (ALL) Cheers. (MOTOWN MUSIC PLAYS) Department of Transportation? I've been there over 10 years now. What do you do at the DOT? I study traffic patterns. You hit the brakes for a second on the freeway, you can track the ripple effect across a 200-mile stretch of road. Because traffic has a memory. It's amazing. Freshen that up for you? Vodka martini? Yeah, thanks. Ladies? (MIMICS SNORING) I'd marry him. I would, too. So, a three-week heli-boarding honeymoon? OK, you get dropped... From a helicopter, yeah. It's how they met. Really? Oh, tell her the story! There's no story. Tell the story. First of all, no-one was ever good enough for Julia. Oh, here we go. Not spontaneous enough, adventurous enough, funny... You make it sound like I never dated. No-one we liked. That is true. (ALL LAUGH) ..she goes and gets in a chopper that takes off from this lake. What was the name of that lake? Lake, er... Lake Wanaka. Wanaka. Wanaka. Thank you. He heard that? How did he hear that? And the hospital's cool? Yeah, I'm not the only nurse employed there. # "Best Of My Love" - The Emotions # Doesn't take much to make me happy # And make me smile with glee # Never, never will I feel discouraged... # # I Want A Sunday Kind Of Love... I'm psyched you're gonna be my brother, man. So am I, Rick. (PHONE RINGS) I think it'll be sick. Me, too, man. I gotta get the phone. Hey, er, you rock hard. OK. Hello? "Is this Mr Ethan Hunt?" Yes, it is. "This is Ready-Travel Resort Services. We'd like to offer you a chance to win an all-expense-paid trip to Mexico." We ran out of ice. I'll be back in 10 minutes. Can't somebody else go? No, I got it. I'll be right back. Hi, Betsy. Thank you. Thanks for coming. Can't decide what size Slurpee to get. I usually go for the 900-ouncer. (SNIGGERS) How's the party? Sorry I had to call. You should've come. You should have invited me. You know I would have. Thanks. I know we joke about it, but I am always this close to begging you to get your ass back in the field. But that's not what you do anymore, and I respect that. You know I do. Family's... everything. Come on, John. What's going on? It's Agent Farris. She was on an operation. She's disappeared. Been off-grid 11 hours. I'm sending in Search and Rescue. I was hoping you'd want in. You've got good people for that. Yeah. Yep, that we do. Wheels up at sunrise if you have a change of heart. Take some pictures of the party for me. (FILM WHIRS) (BEEPING) "Ethan, three days ago, Agent Lindsey Farris was captured while on a surveillance operation." "This is the man she was tracking, Owen Davian. Details are eyes only, but he's a black-market trafficker." "Extremely dangerous, and a priority for us." "At 1400 hours today, a recon satellite ID'd a caravan of vehicles with plates matching those known to have been used by his operatives." "They stopped at a derelict factory outside Berlin, and have a hostage." "We believe it's Agent Farris. Normally, we would disavow, but... Lindsey may be the key to getting us closer to Davian." "Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find Lindsey, and bring her home. I've already assembled a team." "I have them standing by, awaiting your word." "This message, let's call it my excellent engagement gift to you, will self-destruct in five seconds. Good luck, Ethan, and thanks again." '(TICKING)' 'Am I ready?' You OK? Yeah. Yeah. I'm sorry, I realised I didn't tell you that the office called... ..during the party. I have to go to Houston. Metro's having a... ..public transport conference. '(ENGINE RUMBLES)' It's so last minute. I know. Well, well, well! Now, if it isn't Mr "Those Who Can't Do, Teach" back in the field. What's up, baby? Hey, man. Ethan, don't worry, we're gonna get the girl. Or have you been away so long you've forgotten how good we are? Welcome back, brother. They move now. This is iPhone 6s. Not much has changed with the camera, except how you take a photo, find a photo, share a photo. Ooh, Mom's gonna love that one. Your photos themselves have changed too. They move now. And the camera shoots video in 4K. You can even shoot slo-mo in HD ` splash! ALL CHEER So, yeah, that's what's changed. Is our truck in place? Mmm-hmm. Weapons good to go? Yeah. You? Yeah. You know I got your six. Hey, man. That's your job. "Guns one, activated. Guns two, activated. Guns three, activated." "Guns four, activated." (CONSOLE BEEPS) "Guns ready." All guns operational. They've got men on the second, third, fourth floors. "I count 14 of them." Observer, I'm in approach position. Roger that. Stand by. The prize is on the sixth floor. Two Tangos with her. Moving in. So, Raider One, we got to go over this whole "getting married" thing. Negative, Observer. I don't respect you enough to have that conversation. "Maybe, but for now you're stuck with my voice in your head." So, this girl, what the hell do you see in her anyway? Who, Julia? You've never met her. And the way things are, I probably never will. "Lucky for her, right? That's what you're thinking." They've got communications gear. Second floor, northwest corridor. Groundhog, that's you. You need to grab that gear on the second floor. Copy. I'll need two minutes, which means you'll need me in one, right? Yeah, just about. Raider One, make a left at the top of the stairs. Phoenix, I have eye on the prize. > Give her 10ccs more. We need touchdown in less than three. Do you copy? Roger that. When do I not copy? All I do is copy. Stand by to go live. On my mark. "Three. Two." One. Execute. (CONSOLE BEEPS) "Warning." (SHOUTING) Was ist das?! Raider One, you're clear. Move! Lindsey. Lindsey. Ethan? I'm gonna get you home. Observer, I've got the prize. Evac in three. "Roger that." This is adrenaline, Lindsey. You're gonna feel this. "Groundhog, second floor is clear." On the move! (MOANING) Observer, we're on the move. Wrap out. Evac in 90 seconds. Roger that. Phoenix, get to the LZ now. Roger, Observer. On my way. Ethan, I have to talk to you. I have to talk to you right now! Just for you. Turn off your transmitter. Do it, Ethan! Ethan! Lindsey! Moving! Moving! Mag! Ready to move! We evac from here. I'm out. How many rounds you got? Enough. Now I'm out. T minus five, baby. Lindsey, hold on to me. (DEVICE BEEPS) (LOUD BEEPING / MEN SHOUT) Luther! Rolling! God! My head! What is that? What is... (GROANS) Is she OK? Lindsey! Let's get to the chopper. Zhen, get rid of the truck. Let's go! (DEVICE BEEPS) God! What is that? You can't hear that? What's wrong with her? Let's go! We loaded? Yeah. Let's do it! Move out! Go, go, go, go, go! (DEVICE BEEPS) Sonofabitch! We got company. I'm gonna try and lose them. Hurts so much. Turn it off. Please. (CONSOLE BEEPS) "(LOUD BEEPING)" Guys, their missiles are hot! Incoming! Hold on. OK, that was lucky. We only get one of those. Do we have a defibrillator? Ethan, turn it off! Bring it on! Ethan! What is it? Did they put something in my head? They injected you with a time-release charge. Remember that? No. An explosive. It's gonna detonate unless we fry the charge... No. You'll stop her heart. Then I'll zap her again and bring her back. Do it! (CONSOLE BEEPS) Guys! They're firing another one! Ethan! Zhen! Zhen, hold on! Hold on, hold on! (SHEEP BLEAT) Set it for 150. Lindsey, I'm gonna short out the explosive in your head. It'll need 30 seconds. Damn it! 25 seconds! Come on, we're almost there. (CONSOLE BEEPS) They have us locked. 20 seconds! Hold on! Whoo! Whoo! I got 'em! Ten seconds. Almost there. Almost there. Give me the paddles. Ethan,... ..thank you. (CONSOLE BEEPS) (MONOTONOUS BEEPING) Shit! Hey. Hey. How did it go? I'm sorry, I... Fine. I'm sorry, I'm just tired. (SIGHS) I read your brief on Agent Farris. The words you used were "beyond capable." That still stand, Mr Hunt? Mr Brassel - Does it stand? Yes, sir, it does. Because we've got a corpse downstairs that says otherwise. Killed by a detonator implanted in her skull through the nasal cavity. It's unacceptable to judge Agent Farris' competence based - It's unacceptable chocolate makes you fat, but I've eaten my share. I approved her surveillance op based on your evaluations, Mr Hunt, of a woman who allowed herself to be captured. So you go to recover her. You encounter a dozen men. You don't grab any of them? Our objective, Mr Brassel, was to recover Agent Farris. Davian employs a cellular structure. The men there had no information - Who's drawing these conclusions? Is it you? I am, sir. Based upon - I'm not on you yet. You allowed Farris to board without a scan. That explosive could have taken you all out. There is one reason that you are sitting here, and that is luck. Because your operation was poorly conceived and executed worse. Two laptops were recovered - We've talked to Tech Services. They doubt if they can reconstitute the drives. "Crispy," I believe, is what they called them. Worthless. As Operation Manager of this office, I have the authority - Excuse me! Did you just throw a title at me? I don't care if your daddy plays golf with the President. This is Intelligence. So far I haven't seen any. You think this op was worth the risk, Mr Hunt. What do you know about Owen Davian? He brought gas centrifuge technology to Korea from Pakistan. He was also the man who sold Toxin Five to the Armahad Republic Jihad. He is a man who provides, provides, provides! And he remains invisible. He's a goddamn invisible man. Wells, not Ellison, in case you want to be cute again. We can't find him. He knows it. It's emboldened him. I've been trying to bring Davian down since the day that I got here. It wasn't confirmed the Toxin Five theft was Davian - Please don't interrupt me when I'm asking rhetorical questions. Your operation achieved one thing. You have reminded Davian that he is winning. And now I have to go inform Mr and Mrs Farris that their baby girl was killed in a head-on collision on I-95. I stand here today deeply saddened by the death of one of God's children, Lindsey Elizabeth Farris. It is startling when the Lord takes one of our young so unexpectedly... 'Be aggressive. Stay focused. Keep your knees bent.' 'Good. Good. Now, to fire the lock, the extractor has to be...' 'That bag's won't hit you back...' 'Hit harder. Don't rely on your sights. Attack me. Come on.' 'Don't ever release the firing pin unless the extractor's...' 'Good.' 'Identify the target. Point and shoot. It's very simple.' 'Stay focused. Miss Farris, you know how many recruits I've trained.' 'You are the first that I've recommended for active field duty.' 'Congratulations.' 'Am I ready?' (CELLPHONE RINGS) Yes? "Is this Mr Kelvin?" Yes. Who is this? "I'm calling from Norfolk Mail Service." "Lindsey Farris rents a post office box here. She sent you mail from Berlin, asked us to call when it arrived. It came this morning." Thank you. This right here. Thanks. It's a microdot. A microdot with nothing on it. This is unusual. Lindsey wouldn't send me a blank microdot. There's no image. Then you're not looking in the right place. Where am I supposed to look? Why would she send a blank microdot? Why would Lindsey send you anything? You were her instructor, not her handler. I don't know. Listen, I don't mean to cross the line, but... was there something going on between you two? You and Lindsey. Lindsey was like my little sister. And you never... ..slept with your little sister, right? Hey, if I don't ask you, who will? Maybe it's magnetic. The microdot. Well, that's old school. If she was in a hurry, and only had access to black-market gear, maybe. Can you get the tools? I might know a guy. Magnetic means encrypted. Yeah, I know that. Be right there. The thing about Lindsey is she was brand-new. She was sweet. Remember when you were sweet? Can you remember that far back? Barely. In Germany, you asked me what it is I see in Julia. What I see in Julia is life before all this. And it's good. Benji, what have you got? These hard drive platters are just fried. They made a mess of them. There's holes in them, and it's scorched all the way through. Look, this one's got a hole on it. Did you recover anything? Yes. Despite the aforementioned conditions of the hard drive, I managed to recover portions of, er, two dozen e-mail files. I also made to be a thoroughly promotion-worthy breakthrough. Mr Davian is going to arrive in Rome the day after tomorrow, and attend a function at one Vatican City. What's he doing at the Vatican? It's all to do with the "Rabbit's Foot." Rabbit's Foot? Like a code word for something he's about to sell to an unspecified buyer for $850 million, by the way. Or maybe it's not a code word, just a really expensive bunny appendage. You have no idea what it is? I used to have this professor at Oxford, Dr Wickham, and he was like this massive, fat guy. Huge, big guy. I won't tell you what we called him. He taught BioMolecular Kinetics and Cellular Dynamics. He used to scare the underclassmen with a story about the world would be eviscerated by technology. You see, it was inevitable that a compound would be created, which he referred to as the "Anti-God." It was like an accelerated mutator, a sort of unstoppable force of destructive power ice cream parlours... So, whenever I see, like, a rogue organization willing to spend this amount of money on a mystery tech, I always assume it's the "Anti-God." End-of-the-world kind of stuff, you know? But, no, I don't have any idea what it is. I was just speculating. Did you brief Musgrave on this? Who, me? No, not yet. Good. Don't. Don't tell anyone. If something goes wrong with the operation, I want Musgrave to have deniability. Great work, Benji. What operation? That look in your eye is a pain in my ass. You know that, right? (TANNOY) "Any available resident to Paediatrics." "Any available resident to Paediatrics." "Rehabilitative Care, call the pharmacy." I have to go away again. On business. Two days. Two days? Yeah. Ethan, what's going on? I keep thinking you just need time... ..to tell me whatever it is that it's... But nothing in my mind makes sense. What's wrong? What are you not telling me? I need to ask you for something. And it's... It's the most... (SIGHS) I need you to trust me. Of course I trust you. Am I ever going to be able to understand what this is? I need you to trust me. Yes. I trust you. Is it... Tell me it's real. I mean us. Tell me it's real. Follow me. The vows you're about to take are not to be taken without careful thought and prayer. This love is not to be diminished by difficult circumstances, and it is only to be dissolved by death. Do you have the rings? Yeah. (CHUCKLES) Repeat after me. I, Julia Anne Meade... I, Julia Anne Meade... ..hereby take Ethan Matthew Hunt... ..hereby take Ethan Matthew Hunt... ..to be my lawfully wedded husband. ..to be my lawfully wedded husband. Tomorrow may be the only time we can predict where Davian is going to be. Charity event, Vatican City. Our mission is to get in and kidnap him. I don't know why he's so happy. I did remind him that the Vatican is the Vatican. A 109-acre sovereign state in the middle of Rome surrounded by a 60-foot wall, which is monitored 24/7 with over 200 CCTV cameras. That's not even what makes it a challenge. Getting Davian is good, but getting his buyers is even better. If they realize he's been grabbed, they'll disappear. I'm sorry, what are you saying? No matter how we grab Davian, his clients are gonna know he's been taken. No, they won't. Access point is here. It's a one-way street adjacent to the Vatican wall. I'll need 30 seconds. And we'll need a truck. (HORN BEEPS) (SHOUTING / HORNS BEEP) (SIREN WAILS) (SPEAKS ITALIAN) (BOTH ARGUE IN ITALIAN) (CAR HORNS BEEP) (ALL SHOUT IN ITALIAN) Now go do what you got to do. Don't forget to smoke. (SHOUTS IN ITALIAN) (CONSOLE FUZZES / BEEPS) (SPEAKS IN ITALIAN) Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. E tutto perfecto. Grazie. (SPEAKS ITALIAN) (BELL CHIMES) Buon giorno, Padre. Buon giorno. "Alpha team, this is Bravo. Right on schedule." "We should have breach in 60." Roger that. Charlie team, report. "Well, I don't have anything to report, really." Except I think I should be right on time. We'll be waiting. ETA two minutes. "Roger that." Charlie team, did you fire the tracer yet? Stand by. Firing the tracer. Now. "Alpha, I'm in. T minus two minutes." Roger that. Charlie team, I see you. I'm looping the security feed. Stand by to move. Roger that. Video is looped. Go. Alpha team, catacomb video taken care of? Taken care of. Good to go. Delta team, do you copy? "All I do is copy." That's funny(!) Get ready to move into position. I'm already there. Really? "ETA 30 seconds." See you in 30. Alpha team moving into position. Bravo standing by for transmission. Transmitting. (DEVICE BEEPS) (BEEPING INTENSIFIES) Got you. Excuse me! (SPEAKS ITALIAN) (SIGHS) She made it. New Zealand's leading mobile network presents the magnificent 7. Superior water resistance, spectacular low-light camera, ultra-slim design, expandable memory, fast charge, super AMOLED display and enhanced for virtual reality. The magnificent new Samsung Galaxy S7, from just $37 a month over 24 months with a $99 deposit. In store or online only on Vodafone. (SPEAKS ITALIAN) We have a photo opportunity. "Just give me the word. I'm standing by." Delta, ready for upload. Delta team, download good. I didn't mean to be so cavalier the other day about you getting engaged. I know that. Thanks. But a normal relationship isn't viable for people like us. I don't agree with that. Then I'm smarter than you. I'm going up. I agree with Luther, we can't have real relationships. But, you see, I love that. 23 months, that's as long as it'll last when you got the baggage we do. Really? Yeah, really. Look at me, I know what I'm talking about. And you know I know what I'm talking about. (BEEPING) (PAGER BEEPS) Wait here. Davian just picked up a briefcase. We'll have to move sooner. Can you identify who made the drop? "Negative. How close are you guys?" We're just printing now. I'm not proud of it, but I've lived with women a few times, and it doesn't ever make it to two years. Thanks for the advice, but it's different for me than for you. I'm not in the field any more. Oh, OK. Here's a retirement present. In our job, there'll always be something between you and a woman. Luther, listen... Dishonesty. A dishonesty that poisons everything. I need to tell you something... Stop talking. This isn't about you. Whoever this girl is, you're going to end up messing up her life, too. Don't do it. Jules and I got married two days ago. Congratulations. '(APPLAUSE)' Thanks. Thanks. He's walking. I'm going in. Roger that. I'm on my way. Oh! Oh. (ZHEN SPEAKS KOREAN) Ma'am, I need you to step back. No, it's fine. I always spill red wine on my white custom-made shirt. OK. Step back. It's fine. It's fine. Bathroom. Tell me you're on your way. I'm on the move. (Move it. Come on!) His bodyguards are checking out the bathroom. I'm almost there. He's going in. Quiet! Read this. Slowly. Read it! "The pleasure of Buzby's company... is what I most enjoy." "He put a tack on Miss Yancy's chair when she called him a horrible boy." "At the end of the month he was flinging two kittens across the width of the room." "I count on his schemes to reveal the..." What is this? Finish! You're getting a visitor. Finish! "..a way to escape my gloom." "Got it." "Alpha, the guard's on his way." Delta, stall him. "It's too late for that, he's in the hallway." Sir, is everything all right? No, voice mask is still compiling. "I need 30 seconds." Sir? (COUGHS) Sir? Six seconds, I'm uploading. (DISTORTED) "A way to escape my gloom." OK, go. I'm fine. Wait outside. See you in the sewer. Oh. (SPEAKS IN KOREAN) She's sorry about your shirt. No problem. (BOTH SPEAK KOREAN) Her hotel has laundry service, and she'll take care of it. What are we going to do while we're waiting in your hotel room and I'm not wearing my shirt? (TRANSLATES) She'll think of something. She would like to drive. Follow me to the hotel. Sir, would you like us to watch the case? No. Nice job. Thank you. (TRACKER BEEPS) (BEEPS FASTER) (CONSOLE BEEPS) (BEEPS FASTER) What's up? Nothing. What's up with you? Nothing. Blow the car. Oh, it's such a nice car. And yet... Do it. ..over in central Eurasia... (PAGER BEEPS) Can I direct your attention to the third satellite image... "Mr Musgrave to see you." Send him in. Ethan Hunt and his team just grabbed Owen Davian in Rome. They're headed back now. I thought you should know. You were aware of this operation? Yes, I was. Then, good work. Thank you. Ahem. (COUGHS) You're dead, Mr Davian. There were witnesses. That was you in the bathroom. You're gonna tell us everything. Every buyer you've worked with. Every organization. What the hell is your name? Names, contacts, inventory lists. You have a... a wife, girlfriend? It's up to you how this goes. Because you know what I'm gonna do? I'm going to find her, whoever she is, and I'm gonna hurt her. You were apprehended carrying details of the location of something code named the Rabbit's Foot. I'm gonna make her bleed, and cry, and call out your name,... and you're not gonna be able to do shit. You know why? What is the Rabbit's Foot? Because you're gonna be this close to dead. And who is the buyer? Then I'm gonna kill you right in front of her. I'm going to ask you one more time. What's your name? Who are you? You don't have any idea what the hell is going on, do you? You saw what I did to your little blonde friend at the factory, right? Well, that was nothing. That was, erm,... fun. That was fun. (ALARM SOUNDS) What is the Rabbit's Foot?! Ethan! What is the Rabbit's Foot? Ethan, stop! What is it?! Don't do it! Ethan! What is the Rabbit's Foot?! You tell me! Ethan, stop! Don't do it. This isn't you, man! We can use him, Ethan! You know that! No, Ethan! Don't do it! Please, stop! What I'm selling, and who I'm selling to,... ..is the last thing you should be concerned about,... ..Ethan. (SCANNER BEEPS) Ethan, we got it. Lindsey's microdot. It's a video file. "Ethan, I don't know what they've told you. Just listen to me." "Brassel sent me to Germany to surveil an exchange to ID a man named Owen Davian. I tagged his phone, and I intercepted a transmission." "I traced the call through the IMF network, and this is what came up." "The call to Davian came from Brassel's office. It's Brassel." "I think he's working with Davian." "I think I'm being set up..." Ethan! (CAR HORNS BEEP) < (SHOUTING) ..turn around, OK? Someone call for help! Does anyone have a cellphone? Everybody, get down! Get down! Get down! Everybody, get down! Argh! There's a woman down. I see her. Get down! (SCREAMING) Get down! Stay down! Everybody, get down! Get down! Stay down! Get down! Open up! Open up! I need the prisoner! (GLASS SHATTERS) Oh, my God! It's really bleeding. Don't leave me, OK? Don't worry, I'm right here. Ethan, there's a G36 in the truck! I know! I know! (SHOUTING / SCREAMING) Ethan, get out of the truck! Ethan, move! (PHONE RINGS) Hello? Rick, it's Ethan. Is Julia home? Hey, man. Look, I hope you're not mad I'm here. I'm not mad. Is Julia home? I tried her cell, there was no answer. Er, no. Sorry. Hey, did your, erm... Did your friend find you? Which friend? "I-I-I don't know. Just some English guy." Rick, what did you tell him? "I didn't know where you were, and Julia might, and he should just try her at the hospital." Hello? Alright, see you tomorrow, Sally. Good night, honey. (CAR HORNS BEEP) "Hi. It's Julia. Please leave me a message..." (SIREN WAILS) "Chesapake Bay Bridge was closed in both directions." Sixth floor. Sally, this is Ethan. I need to talk to Julia. Hey! She just went downstairs, I'll transfer you. (HORN BEEPS) (PHONE RINGS) (HORN BLASTS / TYRES SCREECH) Damn it! Excuse me, I wonder if you know where I might find this patient. Probably not. But I'll know who can. What's that? (DROPS CHART / PANTS) Sally. Where's Julia? Where's Julia? I think she left. Have you tried the east building? Has Julia left? I haven't seen her. Mike, Mike, Mike. Have you seen Julia? Have you seen Julia?! No. (CAR HORN BEEPS) Watch it, buddy! (CELL PHONE RINGS) Jules? (DAVIAN) "You hung me outside of an airplane." "You can tell someone's character by how they treat those they don't need to treat well." If you hurt her, I swear... "Don't threaten me. Just don't." "The briefcase I picked up in Rome, the one you took from me, contains the location of the Rabbit's Foot." "You're gonna get it and bring it to me. The Rabbit's Foot." "You had a watch last time I saw you." "You have 48 hours, starting on my mark." Wait, wait, wait. "Now, call me at this number when you have it." Just wait. "You have 48 hours, or she dies." Wait! (DISCONNECTS) Wait. Wait. (TYRES SCREECH) (RADIO) "Condition 1-116. All units on scene." We need you to come with us. Just... Pete, what the hell is this? Sorry about that, Mr Hunt. We were told to bring you in. OK. Whoa. Hey, just not right now. Ethan, get in. We don't want to use force here. Ethan, get in. Tell them that you came here... Ethan! ..and that I left already, OK? OK? Freeze! (GUN FIRES) Ethan, stop! Stop, Ethan! Argh! (MOANS) Yeah. Get his hands. # One of them said, 'Larz, you a teen heart-throb ` Bro. It's Pamela.

Not much has changed, except it feels different. Now you press lightly to Peek and deeper to Pop. It changes how easily you can Peek a flight, check a post, search for dinner. Ooh, you guys are gonna love that place. You can find a getaway easier,... Yeah, go there. ...and find music easier. Wait, are you listening to your own song? No, I was` Uh, hello? So pretty much everything you do feels different. And that's what's changed. (SIGHS) I reviewed the transcript of your Berlin operation. Very interesting. It seems that Agent Farris had information to share with you, but not with this agency. Something you failed to report. You ordered the Vatican operation without proper approvals. That resulted in a catastrophic attack, and then you fled the scene. Now, I am not a stranger to disrespect. You don't get to where I am without developing a thick skin. But what I won't stand for, what I will lose sleep over, and I love my sleep, is the idea of an irresponsible rogue agent working in my office. So, I'm going to slow things way down here. You can look at me with those judgmental, incriminating eyes all you want, but I bullshit you not, I will bleed on the flag to make sure the stripes stay red. I don't know what to say to you. Brassel's right, you're out of control. Look at me. At least show me the courtesy of looking at me when I talk to you. It's just, er... This is... so disappointing. I wish there was something I could do to help you, but... Take him to the holding cell. (ALARM SOUNDS) No, I'm on it. Yes, sir. Don't panic, I'll get him back. Ethan - I know. Gimme the radio. (BEEP) This is Director Brassel. Ethan Hunt is attempting to escape. He must be stopped. (BEEP) I want Mendoza and Graham in the situation room right away. The building is surrounded, sir. (RADIO BEEPS) "This is Brassel." "I'm ordering a code-six lockdown. I repeat..." It's Hunt. I know it's Hunt. Hunt was flagged on sub-basement nine. I want all security personnel down there now. Security channel's jammed. Hunt must be holding down the transmit button. (RADIO) # "We Are Family" - Sister Sledge # We are family # I got all my sisters with me...

(BIRD TWEETS) (SIREN WAILS BELOW) (SIREN CONTINUES / SHOUTING) (DOOR SWINGS CLOSED) (FOOTSTEPS IN HALLWAY) (KEY TURNS IN LOCK) Don't kill me. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Musgrave told us about Julia. We're here to help. To get your wife, you'll need the Rabbit's Foot. It's in a laboratory on the 56th floor of the Hengshan Lu Building. Which is a nightmare. They're a Chinese military contractor. We have no pull, no details. The good news is, whatever it is, it's small, so we can steal it. The bad news, we got to steal it. From a thief's point of view, this is worst-case scenario. The security guards are all privately-contracted. The only access to the lab is by a private elevator. All of it surveilled by security cameras. What about the roof? Four guards full time, Two on each rooftop. Langley was a cakewalk compared to this. That's the one. How tall is that building? Why? 162 metres at the highest point. What about the building on the left? Says 226 meters. 226. Distance between the buildings? 47.55 metres across. Ethan? That's good. I think it's tall enough. For what? A fulcrum. Oh, you're gonna swing... No, no. Wait. You could bounce off the roof. Even if you made it, took out the guards and got the Rabbit's Foot, what's your exit? Base-jump off the top. I need a chute. Even at 162, you're pushing minimum height for a jump. What will you do? Land in the middle of Shanghai? Central Park's two blocks away. I don't have a better idea, but there's a point where bold becomes stupid. We don't even know what it is, and you're talking about handing it over to a guy who provides - Luther! We're going to tag the Rabbit's Foot so we can trace it, know where it is. You know we can get that gear here. I just deliver it myself. We contact Musgrave, have the IMF trace a tag, order a raid, get the Rabbit's Foot back, grab Davian. Now, if I get out with Julia, we win. If I don't, then... Look, then she's dead anyway. And so am I. You know? Goddamn it, it's 8:11. It's... It's 8:12. And we have two hours before they kill my wife. Are you in or not? Of course we're in. You got 18 minutes. You're gonna make it over there. You're gonna find the Rabbit's Foot, get back to the roof, radio me when you're ready to jump, and we're gonna come get you. Thank you for coming. That's my job. Batter up. (MISSILE LAUNCHES) (GUARDS SHOUT) (MISSILE LAUNCHES) Oh, yeah. They're freaking out. Hit 'em again. (WHIRRING) OK. (RADIO BEEPS) "He made it." He made it. (RADIO BEEPS) I knew he'd make it. I'm going in. I'll be out in five minutes. 1 It's been 12 minutes. He's got five minutes left. If he doesn't call Davian in five minutes, Julia's dead. (RADIO BEEPS) "Anything?" Negative. "How about you? Any good news?" No, nothing. (Come on, Ethan.) (MUTTERS) What is that? When I was little, I had a cat, and he used to run away all the time. And it's just a prayer I'd say to bring him home. Teach it to me. "I've got the Rabbit's Foot, but I can't make it to the roof." What the hell do you mean? Where are you? "Look up, look up, look up!" Oh, shit! He's way too low! (HORNS BEEP) Argh! (HORN BLOWS) Ethan! Get in! They're coming! Who? Building security. They're pissed. OK. Go, go, go, go. How much time you got left? Less than two minutes. (DIALS OUT) (PHONE BEEPS) You gotta get us out of here! I lost the signal. You OK? Not yet. (PHONE BEEPS) Come on, come on. I don't have a signal. I'm on it, I'm on it, I'm on it! (HORNS BLOW / TYRES SCREECH) Argh! Zhen! Damn it. I'm sorry. Put pressure on it. Tell me when you get a signal. What are you doing?! (PHONE BEEPS) I got a signal! Hit redial. (DAVIAN) "You only have five seconds left." The Rabbit's Foot, I have it. "The train yard at Dunan Zhong Lu. Wait for me there. Alone." (DISCONNECTS) (PHONE RINGS) Yeah? "Go secure." We are. "I have the Rabbit's Foot." You OK? I'm tagging it now. (BEEPS) You need to run a trace. Make sure we have eyes on this thing. What's the tag? 6-3-9-6-4-1. Got it. (CONSOLE BEEPS) I see you on Luang Tao Lu Road. "If you don't hear from me in eight hours, you send an army after it." Good luck. You, too. Mr Musgrave. Yeah? It's come to my attention that you sent a team to the Far East. We received intel that Haddam Saleen Bahar was en route to Shanghai. Haddam Saleen Bahar? That's right. I'd love to see that intel. I'll be in my office. Yes, sir. Thanks again. I'll see you back home. Ethan,... you know they probably plan to kill you both. Then I won't see you back home. Better get back. Drink it. No questions. Good morning. Argh! ARGH! (ELECTRICITY SURGES/ ETHAN SCREAMS) (WHIMPERS) Jules. We've put an explosive charge in your head. Does that sound familiar? (GUN IS LOADED) The Rabbit's Foot, where is it? I gave it to you. Now, I'm gonna count to ten, and you're gonna tell me where it is,... ..or she dies. (WHIMPERS) Seems we have a lot to talk about. Don't we? (GUN FIRES) Do you think I'm playing? Son of a bitch! You don't think I'll do it? Where is it? Jules, look at me. Where the hell is it? Seven! I am going to kill you. I swear to God I'm gonna... Eight! No, please. Please. Don't do this. Just let her go. I promise you. I promise you. I can figure out how to get whatever... Nine. Listen to me. I want to help you get whatever you want. But you got to do what's right. What you know is right. Please. No. No. Ten. (GUN FIRES) Don't! Argh! I pushed him as far as he can go. I know he's not lying. I understand. I've got some questions I want to ask him first. It's complicated. You can't just open the canister. We had to make sure you brought the real thing. The Rabbit's Foot. Now we know. Don't you touch her! Don't you touch her! Davian's translator, his Head of Security. Remember? At the Vatican, she failed him. Ethan, Julia is still alive. Davian wanted to kill you both, but I convinced him otherwise. Julia hasn't seen me. She doesn't know anything. She's clean. She can go on to have a life. As long as you tell me... what was in Lindsey's message? I know she sent you a microdot from Berlin. Did she know about me and Davian? Is that why she sent the message? Did you read it? Did anyone else? Did she know about my work? Could I be compromised at IMF? Ethan. (CLICKS FINGERS) Ethan. Did she buy that Brassel set her up? Did she buy that? You told him. That's how Davian knew Lindsey was coming. You told him. I thought you could get her back. But I wasn't gonna let Brassel, of all people, undo the work I'd done. I took action, Ethan, on behalf of the working families of our country. The Armed Forces, the White House. I'd had enough of Brassel and his sanctimony IMF Executive Director. You grab Davian like he wanted, then what? Davian's a weed. You cut him out, two more spring up just like him the next day. Arrest him? Then what? You use him. Collaborate with him. And it's Christmas. In 18 hours, the Rabbit's Foot will be delivered to its Middle Eastern buyer. We'll have credible intel to prove it. US Security Council will get a report tomorrow. We're talking a military strike within a week. And when the sand settles, our country will do what it does best. Clean up. Infrastructure. Democracy wins. What was Lindsey's message? You tell me, and Julia walks. It's the only play you have left. Not till I hear her voice, know she's alive. Of course. (PHONE BEEPS / DIALS) Put her on. Jules? "Ethan?" When we met, there was a lake near the mountain. What was the lake called? "Wanaka." "Please, Ethan." Jules. "Ethan, I don't understand..." (DISCONNECTS PHONE) Argh! SMOOTH MUSIC Bro.

"Listen to me carefully, I need your help." Trace the location of the last call made from this phone. Look, no. Shh. Everyone's looking for you. Everyone I know. I just looked it up. You're on Interpol's most wanted list, a spectacular list to be on! But I'm hanging up now right now. Benji, I don't have time for this! What do you think happened? I've been set up. I think I like my job. OK? And you know they're taping this call. And you know you can erase it. I'm giving you the number right now. All right. Hang on. I'm gonna lose my citizenship because of this. 7-3-4-4-2-5-6-4-3-6-7. OK. Wait. OK, just hold the line, please. Are you there? Yeah. "OK." Er, maybe we can share a jail cell together, you know? If this goes tits up, which it will. The location of that number is... Shanghai. I've just aided and abetted an enemy of the state. Fantastic. Am I close? Use this phone to track my location. Well, you're close. How close? Is the signal in the building? No, no, no. It's in a building one mile to the north-east. Lead me to the signal. "There is one thing. What the hell are you doing in Shanghai?!" I'll tell you when I see you. OK. What you, er... You need to go north. There's a bridge. Get to it, cross it. Make a left. Go three-quarters of a mile along the river. I got it, I got it. (SHOUTS) (CONTINUES TO SHOUT) Good. That's right. Keep going. Make your next left, then the next one, follow that down 1,000 yards. OK. OK, OK. Left. Left. Yeah, that's good. That's good. Keep going. OK. Now, look... Hiya. Hi. "Benji, where? Benji! Which way do I go?" Now take a right. (HORN BLOWS) OK. Go down, left. Left? I'm going left. Good, good. It's in the second building on your left. Signal bearing's plus or minus three meters from the north-east corner. I owe you.

You have maybe four minutes left. Didn't I tell you she'd call out your name? Argh. Argh! Ethan. Ethan. No. Please! And I told you I was gonna kill you in front of her? Well, I'm gonna kill her in front of you. (ETHAN CONTINUES TO MOAN) Oh! RAAAAAAAH! (TYRES SCREECH) (SCREAMING / SHOUTING) Ethan? Are you OK? I don't understand what's going on, Ethan. I know. Just wait. What do those men want from you? Why are we here? How did you find me? Please, Ethan! What the hell is going on? Argh! Are you OK? (MOANS) Ethan, what's wrong? I'm going to tell you everything. You just stay with me. (CRASHING / CLATTERING) Ethan. What's happening? What are you looking for? We've got to get out of here. Not yet. They don't have one! What? A defibrillator. A defibrillator? Ethan? Ethan, who are these people? What the hell are we doing here? (POWER DIES) This is a Beretta 92F. It's a very accurate, close-range weapon. Don't point it at me. Sorry. (SPARKS) It holds 15 rounds. When the mag is empty, the slide will lock back. How do you know so much about this? To reload,... push this button. The empty mag falls out, and you shove the other one in, like the batteries in the flashlight in the kitchen. Then release the slide. Why are you giving me a gun? If you have to use it, you stay low. You identify your enemy. Point and shoot. It's very simple. Point and shoot. Stand back. Good. I have a charge in my head. I'm going to die unless you kill me. What? Throw the switch on and off. Don't forget the off. I can't. You can bring me back. I'll come back. I can't. You have to! There's no time! Now! Please! Wait, wait! Wait. Wait. I love you. I love you.

I was thinking you might want to tell me why we're in China. I know. I... I work for an agency. It's called IMF. What does that stand for? Impossible Mission Force. (LAUGHS) Shut up. No, I'm not kidding. You don't understand. Everything I'm telling you is top-secret. You can trust me. Yeah, I know. Just wanna show my appreciation for your work. Call it reparations for anything I might have put you through. The White House has contacted me. Now, there's a job that they are... very interested in speaking with you about. Thank you,... but, er, I have a lot to think about. You aren't considering quitting? I'm considering going on my honeymoon. Have fun. Thank you. Yeah. Hey, er, one thing. The Rabbit's Foot. What is it? Promise me you'll stay, I'll tell you. I'll send you a postcard. Fair enough.
