Bye.

It's done well.

A weapon such as this will bring them to their knees.

The Holy One will return victorious.

You know what you've carried?

The canvas was slipping.

I had to retire it. That's when I saw.

How did you get such a device?

And how in God's name do you plan to use it?

You already know far more than you should.

I promise you, the Holy One will return because of your deed.

And the people will be forever in your debt.

And you will be forever in my heart.

Kiss me.

Fool!

It's very foolish of you to disobey my instructions, Kwan.

Truly sorry.

Power of the gods.

Considered the highest form of dramatic art in ancient Greece.

You're very talented.

Perhaps one day the world will see your art in the light it deserves.

Good morning, Jim. The Asian country of Kongji is controlled by a government of

military strongmen.

This is General Zhang Kai.

The ultimate power he seeks is control of the whole country.

This he will never achieve while rivals stand in his way. But now Zhang Kai has

possession of a stolen nuclear warhead.

By exploding this low -yield weapon in the heart of the city, Zhang Kai plans

obliterate the entire government of Kongji.

Using this destruction of human lives, he will emerge as undisputed leader,

blaming the catastrophe on the United States.

Chiang Kai's plan depends upon this woman, a beautiful but deadly terrorist

called Su Lin.

It was she who organized the theft of the weapon.

Su Lin is that most feared of all terrorists, the religious zealot. She is

devotee of the religious leader known as the Holy One, exiled for life by the

present regime.

In exchange for her help, Zhang Kai has agreed to allow the Holy One to return

to the country.

Su Lin will go to any lengths to achieve this. She has undertaken to place the

nuclear device in the capital and to arm it.

Your mission, Jim, should you choose to accept it, is to find that nuclear

device before it detonates and to put an end to Zhang Kai's evil plan.

As always, if you or any of your I .M. force should be caught or killed... The

Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions.

This disc will self -destruct in five seconds.

Good luck, Jim.

General Jang Kai and Su Lin.

Beauty and the Beast.

They have one aim in common, to destroy the present government of Kang Ji. For

Su Lin, it will open the way to the return of the Holy One from exile.

For Chiang Kai, it will open the way to ultimate power for himself.

He's using her. But she's going to blow up half the capital to take out the

government? Any means to an end.

To Su Lin, the loss of thousands of innocent lives is a necessary sacrifice.

Oh, this is one very dangerous lady.

And I wouldn't trust him either.

Now, he trusts no one.

And he is loyal to no one. When Su Lin has served her purpose, she's

He'd kill her as coolly as he'd swat a fly.

As a matter of fact... He'd do the same thing to any of us.

We have the use of this ward for just two days. As far as the hospital staff

concerned, we're here to set up an inoculation program.

I'll put double doors there, okay?

Good. Jim?

A low -yield nuclear device was reported missing from a French Pacific test site

four days ago.

I've checked all the shipping and non -commercial flights out of the area

then. I'm pretty confident there's no way that bomb could have arrived in

earlier than the last 12 hours.

And then Su Lin had to smuggle it into the city. Taking her, what, about six

hours maybe?

So she's just had the past few hours to place the bomb where Zhang Kai wants it.

Which means Su Lin is still somewhere in the city.

in place.

It is armed.

No one can disarm it without our code.

Good.

You've done well, Su Lin.

I'm grateful.

Remember your gratitude when it's time for the Holy One to return to us. Of

course.

When is the weapon set to explode?

22 hours.

Enough time for you to evacuate your forces out of the city.

And where's the bomb hidden?

You don't need to know.

Humor me.

There.

You put it there.

Look.

So clever.

It's so beautiful.

You realize I could have you killed to safeguard the secret.

But you won't.

I know how you work, Shanghai.

But you can't be sure what steps I might have taken to avenge my own death.

Now, as we have agreed, Su Lin, you leave the city to see your Holy One.

Speak to nobody.

No one at all.

Take a munitions expert with you.

Have him replace Su Lin's detonator with this one.

Yes, Excellency.

When it's done, kill him.

The people have great sympathy for all that I am doing.

Their hopes for peace and freedom in our country depend on me.

I have no fear of the Holy One, but I cannot authorize his return.

I'm working with the latest development from IAM Research.

This scanner is really pressing the edge of the envelope here, but I gotta tell

you, using the footage that we've got of Shanghai from a press conference, it is

possible to edit his words, mix them around a bit, so he comes out saying

something entirely different.

People depend.

Peace cannot authorize sympathy.

Are you limited to words that he actually spoke?

Right. I structure only the best sentences I can get.

I have authorized the return of the Holy One to show the people they have

nothing to fear from me.

I have great sympathy for their hopes for peace and freedom in our country.

He can actually change what he says.

Shannon, it isn't perfect yet, but this scanner should smooth it out for me. And

shake Sue Lynn into action.

You are not of our faith.

All men of good faith share their heart and their hope.

You speak with a wisdom seldom found in the West.

I heard a great deal about your Holy One.

I'd hoped to meet him. The Holy One is forced to live beyond our borders in

exile.

Hide this for your safety.

Even his image is forbidden in this country.

Then I pray for his safe return to his people.

His body is in Mang Dong Tang.

But his spirit is always with us.

Chairman, the Holy One is in a place called Mang Dong Tang.

Given her devotion to the Holy One, I'd say that's where Sue Lynn will go to

wait out the countdown.

The man doesn't tell me, Max.

Well, the only route to open is by rail.

A train leaves today.

We'll go this in one hour. We'd better get moving.

Your detonator is connected to the device, sir.

And the munitions expert?

Dead.

I've kept Su Lin under surveillance.

I would like you to go to the railway station.

See that she gets on the train.

If she doesn't, kill her.

If she speaks to anyone, it looks like she's passing information.

Kill them both.

The train pulls out in five minutes.

We'd better split up.

Sharon,

I've got her.

She's by the third carriage. She's reading a newspaper.

I'm going to make contact.

They say that the Holy One lives in a city north of here called Mundung Tong.

Have you heard of him?

He's not there for tourists.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be disrespectful.

I know how important he is.

You have no idea how important he is.

Jim, a wild card just showed up.

Jankar's major.

He's trouble.

If he gets in the way now, the whole mission's in jeopardy.

I'm really sorry about this. I mean, excuse me.

Sorry about that. I didn't mean to do that.

Hey, buddy, look, I'm sorry.

understand me.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, you're not going anywhere right now.

You're going to be okay.

Huh?

All right, I told you you're not going anywhere.

You've got a mild concussion and some damage to your hands. What happened?

am I?

You're in an American clinic.

The other hospitals were full with more seriously injured.

It was a train accident.

You're a very lucky young lady. You've been out for the last five hours.

How's it going?

Almost there.

Whoa, whoa. Now, easy.

You're going to be fine in a couple of days.

But right now, your head hurts.

I'll have the nurse bring you something.

No drugs.

I'm Dr. Newman.

If you need anything, there's a string for the nurse.

The call button's right here.

Welcome to the party, lady.

She'll be a little disoriented until the drug wears off in a couple of hours,

but let's keep her on the ropes.

You ready?

Yeah.

All set? Yeah.

You know, the old doc was right.

About you being lucky.

I heard on the news that more than a dozen people were killed in that train

wreck.

You are George Clayton?

Who the hell is this guy?

I am Major Chung, head of security.

You will detail your activities for the past 24 hours.

All right, man.

I've been bike riding in the country.

How did you get these?

I fell off.

The devil do you think you're doing treating a patient like that?

This patient is a mercenary soldier employed by the rebel. I don't care what

think he is. He's an ill man.

These wounds are from a barbed wire fence he stumbled into while trying to

sabotage a munitions depot.

He's under arrest.

Major Chung, take me to General Zhang Kai.

She's one of the accident victims.

He knows who I am.

Perhaps I do.

This woman could be wanted for crimes against the state.

You will not release her under any circumstances until I return.

the consulate for you, I'd be happy to.

No, Doc, thanks.

You've done more than enough already.

Besides, I ain't too popular over the consulate these days.

I'll have the nurse redress that.

Crimes against the state.

Convince me.

That should create some doubt about her friend, Zhang Kai.

Excellency, I swear.

She got on the train. I saw her with my own eyes.

My agent in Mandung Tong says she didn't arrive.

I stationed along the way, Excellency.

If she got off, made her own way back.

Find her!

Are you afraid of what will happen when they arrest you?

Are you kidding?

That's half the fun of this gig.

I take the risks, along with the money.

Look, do you mind if I turn on the TV?

I get the feeling I ain't gonna get too much entertainment with it taking me.

Here we go.

I'm sure he doesn't see the flaws in this one.

The shot value ought to do it.

a passenger train en route to the neighboring country of Mandung Tung was

derailed. Early reports put the death toll at 14, with dozens more injured.

It is believed that a party of pilgrims traveling to Mandung Tung for an

audience with their religious leader were among the dead and injured.

Hey, check it out. In the news.

14 dead.

I thought you were one lucky lady.

In the latest developments coming out of Kanji...

been reported that the religious leader known as the Holy One is due back in the

capital city today to bring solace to the victims and the families of the

The return of the previously exiled religious leader has been sanctioned by

General Zhang Kai.

Now for the clincher.

I have authorized the return of the Holy One to show the people they have

nothing to fear from me. I have great sympathy for their hopes for peace and

freedom in our country. No!

No. Jenka has betrayed me.

No.

No. Take it easy.

If you're one of the pilgrims, you're going to get a chance to meet your

anyway. He betrayed me. You'll be back in the city in a few hours.

Only one will die.

We're all good.

I have killed the Holy One.

I'm only glad that I will die as well.

You're not making any sense here.

I do know that the Holy One is still alive.

So are you.

My book means a lot.

There's no stopping time.

I snatched these scissors off the nurse's tray.

Our boy Chung comes back here to take me away.

I'm going to do my level best to gut him.

Make my way to the border.

Things are as bad as you say.

I'm more than welcome to come along.

Something terrible is

about to happen.

If you will help me.

try to save the Holy One.

I promise you, I have the resources to get you out of the country safely and

make you a very wealthy man.

That's my kind of deal.

Zulina has disappeared, Excellency.

She has made no contact with the Holy One.

So the journey was a trick.

Zulina is coming back to betray me.

She may tamper with the device. I want the place watched.

She must be stopped.

Do it personally.

Wake up.

Follow me.

Get dressed.

General Zhang Kai...

Accuses you of high treason.

I'm afraid you're going to have to go with this man. We have an ambulance

waiting to take the two of you to the prison hospital.

I think it's working.

See you later.

I'm sorry. There's nothing I can do.

Hey, take it easy.

There's no keys.

Forget it. Right here.

Clear.

Are you all right?

Yeah, yeah. She packed quite a punch.

I'm glad it wasn't real glass.

A resourceful man.

Well, I'm alive today.

All right.

Cannon, are you receiving them?

Loud and clear.

You follow them in the car. Remember, the bug Grant's wearing has only a five

-mile transmission radius.

Nicholas, can you get the van in position?

You didn't say where we were going.

That's right, I didn't.

Or what we're doing.

I'll tell you as you need to know.

Jim, they're headed northeast.

I'll follow the distance.

Looks like they're headed for the center of the city.

Trouble.

Thank you, men.

There's only one way out.

I didn't tell you to turn it here.

I didn't ask your permission.

Gotta change horses.

Here we go.

Fate is on our side.

Jim, they're on foot, and they're heading in the direction, I think it's a

shrine.

Oh, yeah, that's where their great leaders of the past are buried.

Jack's certain to have the place guarded.

Keep him in sight.

There.

What is in there?

Hey, I want to know what the game is we're playing here, lady.

Disarming a nuclear device.

My God.

I was tricked into planting it.

A man who wants to destroy the soul of my country.

Excuse me. What are you doing here?

Turn to the side.

Turn there.

Oh, my God.

Jankai tricked me.

What?

This keypad is not the one that I installed.

Jankai changed it.

You don't know Jankai's code?

I know this mechanism.

Any tampering or incorrect code and the device automatically goes off.

I failed.

I failed!

Would you calm down, Su Lin?

You're spying for Shanghai?

Oh, Sue Lynn.

Would you wait? We've got to get the code out of Shanghai.

Yeah, I'm out of here.

We're less than four hours from a nuclear disaster.

What about an evacuation of the city? Not enough time, Shannon.

We'd get some people. But there'd be panic in the streets. We'd lose

Yes, he's right. And if we alert the government, General Zhang's lab will be

right in the middle of it.

Can we break the code?

One misstep, that thing's going to blow.

It's just not an option.

Maybe there's another way.

We'd have to get to Shanghai before he leaves town.

We'll work two fronts at once.

Nicholas, I want you to visit the temple again.

so overjoyed to learn that the true body and spirit will be united at last.

This is a day of celebration.

Who are you speaking of?

The Holy One.

The Holy One is in Mangdang Town.

Then you have not heard that he is in the city.

In the next hour, he will be in the square to meet with the faithful.

It's the same process I used on the footage of Shanghai.

The best raw material.

Seems to be this part of our take.

He's long been in exile to save his followers, not himself.

Now he's coming to join the people again at a terrible time.

Yes, Shanghai has betrayed me. That's why I must get free to have it stopped

that the Holy One may live.

Good, you can't tell where she is.

Shanghai has betrayed people.

Returning stop timer. I've rearranged your words.

The toughest part of this whole thing is trying to get those lip movements

natural.

Here it goes.

I stopped the timer.

Long live, long live, long live the holy one.

Shanghai, you have betrayed me. When I learned that the holy one was returning

to join the people, I stopped the timer. Long live the holy one.

That ought to shake the general up.

You've got to believe that the Holy One is still in the city.

Oh, you believe, all right.

I'm Dr.

Barnett from the IHO.

I have an urgent delivery for General Zhang Kai.

Is it true? Yes.

We are going to see them.

Holy one.

It's of vital importance that the general sees this before he leaves

We found it on a wounded man who died in the hospital. It seems to be a message

to the general containing a threat to his personal safety.

Long live the Holy One. No!

But General, it's not possible.

Only you know the code to the detonator.

Zulian was very resourceful. You killed her when she was inside this shrine.

She could have defused it for all we know.

Urgent message, Excellency.

Well?

Crowds are gathering in the People's Square.

The Holy One has returned.

You saw him.

I can still win and eliminate this holy one once and for all.

I'll reactivate the device myself.

He just went.

Right, Max.

General Jankai got your message. I think he's on his way to check the timer.

Our plan's working.

You read me, Nicola?

Yes, Jim.

I've been spreading the word among the people to go to the shrine.

Good. We'll have our audience.

Greg.

Nicholas has done his job and the people are on the way.

Are you ready for the general?

All wired up, Jim.

All right. Expect him in the next few minutes.

Yeah.

That's all the time we've got.

The stage is set.

It's in the hands of the people now.

Here come our people.

Let's go.

Su Lin didn't defuse it. She wants me to die in here.

How much time is left?

Two minutes. I'll have to work fast.

It took me two years to get hold of this weapon. I will not lose it now.

I have the code like my own signature.

You can't stop it.

Get out.

Come back, you fool.

I can stop the bomb.

I know the code. I set the detonator myself. Now let me concentrate.

This is my power. My destiny.

I've controlled this power.

This is the sequence.

I'm sure of it.

General Zankai, we arrest you for treason against the people.

Well, I'd hate to be in his shoes.

Yeah, you see the looks on those people's faces?

So this is the way Shanghai's world ends.

Not with a bang, but a whipper.

Next on Mission Impossible.

The war games are designed to ensure that we are prepared and ready to defend

ourselves. Your armament is more offensive than defensive.

You'll find no ballistic missiles on my base. You and Max are on the longest

trip of your entire lives.

Stop up there!

How dare you here!

You're not good for Gemini's when Mars is in the ascendant. You have some very

unpleasant surprises in store for you. You have to find out if Sabo says the

missiles.
