THE BERING SEA

FEBRUARY 29 AT 12.01 ANADYR NORMAL TIME

mission report,

Russian submarine K599 Sevastopol.

Operation Podkova, day 74.

The new self-learning defense system

continues to function flawlessly.

One is tempted to say miraculous.

We navigate under the polar ice via

cutlery with five days of sailing again.

After a 25,000-nautical-mile journey, Sevastopol has

deliberately engaged all naval defenses in the world

without getting caught.

Podkova's stealth function has exceeded all expectations.

We are at this moment the world's greatest instrument of war.

The deadliest killing

machine man has ever created.

And we are impossible to find.

Sir. captain. Feeling with vessel Semyon-83,

a US Virginia submarine

with direction towards us.

Beat clear ship in silence.

Officer of the Deck, ship's status.

Bottom depth: 72 meters.

Distance to ice cover: 21 meters.

Distance to deep water?

Two kilometers, 6 minutes.

Rudder threads, 15 degrees to the left.

Keep heading 100°.

Slow ascent.

Received.

Sets heading 100°.

Holds course 100°.

Weapons officer, distance?

Fire leader calculates the distance to 15,000 meters.

Impossible. With such a clear

signature, he must be closer.

The fire marshal has changed the distance to 10,000 metres.

Nothing moves that fast.

The calculations are correct.

Rudder all the way to the right, heading 270°.

Course 270°, yes.

We just have to get into deep water.

Bearing to vessel: 160°.

Bearing zero degrees?

Again he turns with us.

He can see us.

Impossible. We are invisible.

Run a fault finding on the sonar and fire guide.

He lets water into the torpedo tubes.

Torpedorum, drive all torpedoes into tables.

Yes.

Everything is ready!

-Prepare torpedo! - Get ready!

Torpedoes in tables.

The outer doors are open!

Close water into pipes 1 to 4.

Pipe 2 is made ready.

Calculate shot solution for pipe 2.

He's trying to tease us.

He wants to shoot us down.

Enemy torpedo in the water. Distance: 1000 meters.

Rudder hard to the left.

The rudder is on the far left.

-Fire flares. - Firing!

-Fire pipe 2. -Firing!

Our torpedo has been fired.

Enemy torpedo, 800 meters.

It avoided our flares.

Rudder hard to the right.

Six hundred meters.

Ready to empty ballast tanks.

Four hundred meters.

Turn on collision warning.

Two hundred meters.

All men prepare for attack.

Torpedo strikes in five, four,

three, two,

one.

Impact!

-What happened? -It is gone.

Was it a passerby?

No, it disappeared out of the blue.

Sonar, where is the enemy vessel?

Four thousand meters starboard for the bow.

Our torpedo hits

the enemy submarine

three, two, one.

Where did the estimate go?

The enemy has disappeared.

He is gone.

I do not understand.

He's never been there.

We've been chasing a ghost.

The instruments don't lie.

Today they lied.

-Weapons officer, disarm our torpedo. -Yes, Mr. Captain.

Blow clear ship.

This is why we hold exercises.

There is a flaw in the system.

A spirit in the machinery.

Let's go home.

Sir. captain, our own torpedo is coming right at us!

Distance: 400 meters!

Disarms the weapon.

It's getting closer! 200 meters!

Empty all ballast tanks! Sound the alarm!

Then the food is here.

Hello?

Loose?

Calm.

Calm.

Loose?

India Zulu 254.

Bravo Echo 11.

Not yet.

You must ask me the security question first.

Oh yeah. Pardon.

What is our oath?

We live and die in the shadows

for those we love

and those we never meet.

Put it on the table.

Welcome to the IMF.

You have made the right choice.

Yes.

Good evening, Mr. Hunt.

It was a long time ago.

Our lives are the sum of our choices,

and we cannot escape the past.

30 years ago you got the choice.

Become part of the IMF or face life imprisonment.

Because of your natural talent, the authorities took you in for mercy.

But we never forget.

Likewise, you will never forget the

killing that brought you to us then.

I remind you of the oath you have taken before us.

There is more at stake than ever before.

Their usual willfulness will not be tolerated.

If you say yes, it is crucial that you listen.

Authorities are looking for a key.

You don't have to worry about

its function and great importance.

On the other hand, it should worry you that your friend Ilsa Faust is involved.

DEMANDED

She has killed a courier in Istanbul.

We believe he was in possession of one half of the key.

Why she has chosen to interfere is a mystery.

So is her whereabouts.

It is certain, however, that we have promised her a bounty,

which these bounty hunters intend to collect.

They never turn anyone in

alive and rarely in one piece.

You are on your way to the Arabian Desert to find your girlfriend.

If you find the bounty hunters, you might also find her.

Your mission, if you accept it, is

to obtain the key and deliver it to us.

What happens to Ilsa is up to you.

Should members of your team be captured or killed,

the Minister will deny any knowledge of your actions.

This message will self-destruct in five seconds.

Whoop whoop, Ethan.

THE ARABIAN DESERT NEAR THE BORDER OF YEMEN

Came.

Ethan.

What are we facing?

An entity with multiple personalities.

It can behave like a computer virus,

a worm or botnet.

It distorts all forms of digital information.

Any data recorded, stored or transmitted

digitally is rendered unreliable.

In the beginning, it went after news services

and social media, which often fit into our hug.

Until half a year ago it attacked Saudi Arabia's intelligence service.

And assimilated their top secret AI

before it disappeared into the cloud.

Immediately thereafter, it increased its attacks tenfold.

It indicates that the entity

has become conscious.

So it can think for itself?

For the past three weeks it has

infiltrated our satellite network,

the central banking system, the stock market and the electricity grid.

The Norwegian Air Force, NASA and all branches of the armed forces.

It has also hit the World Bank and the European central banks.

Gained access to defense, finance and infrastructure in

Russia, India, Israel, Australasia and throughout Europe.

And what exactly did it do?

Nothing.

Nothing?

It came and went.

It left obvious traces and

thereby sent a clear message.

"I'll return."

Whatever its goals, we are powerless against it.

Its attention is now focused on one goal.

The world's intelligence services.

The truth as we know it.

The entire intelligence community is now in full

swing making physical copies of our knowledge bases,

before our secured data centers become infected.

It's only a matter of time.

The entity will be able to undermine our strengths and exploit our weaknesses.

It will turn our friends into enemies

and our enemies into aggressors.

Can't the intelligence servers be cut off from the rest of the world?

It's already done, but servers

need to be maintained by humans.

And people are the weakest link in the chain.

Especially when we are dealing with a stateless, amoral enemy.

Someone who has listened, read and observed.

And wrested from us our deepest secrets.

It can blackmail, blackmail, bribe or be anyone.

It manipulates us through our

total dependence on digital reality.

An enemy that is everywhere

and nowhere and no center has.

This means that the most awe-inspiring

intelligence apparatus in the world

unable to kill the scum?

They should not try to kill it.

They better be able to control it.

And how is that to be done, Mr. Kittridge?

The CIA's agent in the Kremlin says that the

Russians are concentrating their intelligence efforts

to provide two halves of a cross-shaped key.

-What does it unlock? -We dont know.

The Russians believe it is capable

of disabling the mysterious entity.

At least they want to

control it, rein it in.

Do you believe that, Kittridge?

The most important thing is that the rest of the world believes in it.

Japan, India, Germany and Britain

believe it, but not even our closest allies

have informed us about it.

It testifies to a global race to get

hold of the two halves of the key.

All nations against all, not to kill the scum,

but to weaponize it and thereby establish a

new unquestionable form of global dominance.

How do we find that key?

A buyer will arrive in the

Middle East in the next 72 hours.

We think he already has one half.

Do you think so?

It could be a fake.

How is it verified?

The only thing that can verify one half of the key,

is the other half. Its kind, so to speak.

It's probably a fuse.

How do we find its mate?

We believe the other half has

been in the hands of this woman.

Who is she?

Ilsa Faust.

Former British agent.

-Where is she now? -She is dead.

She was killed by mercenaries who

wanted to collect the bounty for her.

Who had promised it?

It could have been anyone.

So anyone can have her half of the key?

Not just anyone.

I sent a man out to find her.

The only man she would have trusted with the key.

Does he have it?

I do not know. He has refused to appear.

Denied?

Who the hell is he?

It is confidential.

I am the country's intelligence chief.

What am I not supposed to know about?

IMF.

The World Bank?

Not "International Monetary Fund".

I am talking about the second IMF. Our.

What does that stand for?

"Impossible Mission Force".

You are not serious.

So what do they do?

What the rest of us are not capable of.

And who is in charge of it?

They do not parry orders. It works so that we...

...gives them a show.

Give them a show?

Sir. Kittridge.

The IMF only refers to the president.

I just have to be all in.

When there's a mission none of you can handle,

you give a nameless

man a brag and hope

he can handle the peas?

If he chooses to accept.

Can they pick and choose between orders?

The IMF was specifically formed to avoid unintended consequences.

If they cannot guarantee the outcome of

a mission, they are allowed to speak up.

I understand,

you are mad.

I'm not angry, Kittridge.

You asked me to listen.

I'm listening now.

All right. It was me,

who promised a bounty for Ilsa.

But I also told you where to find her.

I told her not to steal the key. She had her own reasons for that.

But isn't that the usual pattern?

You saved her from the scissors, but she always went back into it.

Wait, Ilsa, wait! It is me!

It is me.

It is okay.

Listen. You're dead, so you must stay dead.

Ethan, wait!

You don't get an apology.

It's my job to use you, and it's

your job to let yourself be used.

Did you complete the mission or not?

Wherever the other half is

and whatever the key unlocks,

then I'll probably find it.

So what?

No one should be left in control of the Entity.

I want to kill it.

Ethan...

The next world war will not be a cold war.

It will be a war of gunpowder and

bullets over a rapidly dwindling ecosystem

and the last bits of energy,

drinkable water and breathable air.

Whoever controls the Entity controls the truth.

The understanding of what is right and wrong will be

able to be defined several centuries into the future.

Have you heard yourself?

Your time as a front-line fighter in the service of the so-called good is over.

Now you have to choose a side.

I'm on the page I've always been on.

Don't get in my way.

I can not promise that.

We're coming for you. The whole world will be after you.

And no matter what, the mission

you're on is going to cost you dearly.

If I don't take it, we'll soon have company.

Hello?

Director Denlinger, thank you.

The director is currently unavailable.

-Who am i talking to? -Eugene Kittridge, CIA.

- The solution? -"Bastone" in one word.

- A crisis has arisen. -I see.

Your adjutant has just been found unconscious in his home.

Poisoned.

Understood.

I don't think so now.

He was seen here in the building fifteen minutes ago.

Understood.

Can you speak freely?

-No thanks. - The guards are on their way.

If you are in danger, hang up before I count to five.

One two...

How are you going to get out of here?

Of course.

PART 1

AL DHA AIRPORT FROM THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES

Listen.

An American agent with a horn in the side of his

country has disappeared and has lost the pacifier.

He poses a threat to the nation

and must be neutralized at all costs.

Everything in his possession is extremely

important and must be seized intact.

Even the man is indispensable.

Don't underestimate him.

He masters infiltration, deception, sabotage and psychic warfare.

He's practically a mind-reading,

shape-shifting incarnation of chaos.

So for everyone's safety,

don't consider him harmless,

unless you have driven a stake through his heart.

This is not an exercise.

A self-aware, self-learning,

truth-devouring digital parasite,

that has infected all of cyberspace.

It had to come.

And the two parts of the key can make it possible to control the Entity?

Then the governments of the world will kill us to get the key.

Including our own.

Exact.

It makes our mission

illegal before it even begins.

Then this conversation itself is technically treason.

Or as we call it, Monday.

What is the plan?

A buyer from Amsterdam has to stopover here for

half an hour hoping to buy this half of the key.

The buyer probably

has the other half on him.

In order to establish the authenticity of our

How do we identify him?

The Geiger counter here picks up

the radiation from the dragon egg

embedded in his key.

The augmented reality feature in these glasses

will lead us to it.

Cunningly.

So you identify the buyer and empty his pockets.

-No. -Of course not.

We still have no idea what the key unlocks.

So you want to sell the buyer our half of the key...

While we book you a seat on

the flight the buyer is going on.

So you can follow the key.

Hopefully to someone who knows what it unlocks.

Exact.

Collecting the key

is only the beginning.

The fate of the world rests on finding what it unlocks.

Do you know that guy?

Not personal.

But it's personal.

What is it?

Suspicious bag on its way to Venice.

Well, it was probably a false alarm.

Overwatch where is he?

I have him.

Terminal B, gate 15, southbound direction.

-I do. -Gu, you don't.

Ethan, just tell Net Ranger

here that I code as well as him.

No comment.

Should Phineas Phreak

here kill the Entity,

while holding the soldering iron?

- Probably. - So settled.

Off the road!

Tell me where he is.

Blue suit, straight ahead.

- It's not him. -Yes it is.

I promise you that

the facial recognition…

How did you do it?

No one escapes Phineas Phreak.

I have found him.

Terminal E, gate 5.

It's at the other end of the airport, after all.

Ethan, they're running towards Terminal E. This part of the airport is yours.

Thank you, Luther. The buyer in sight.

Otto von Bork, Swiss.

He is going to Venice. Departure in half an hour, flight 1031.

Benji, book me a seat.

Flight 1031 to Venice.

Ethan, what's going on?

- He was rolled. -What do you mean?

The woman is a pickpocket. Find out who she is.

VENICE

Luther, turn off the microphones.

The bag was supposed to take flight 1031.

What kind of bag?

The one that triggered the alarm.

-What's with it? -It had to fly to Venice.

The buyer and Ethan's plane.

Luther, who is she?

Guess it's not a false alarm?

Now put someone trying to smuggle a bomb on board the plane.

It could also be the Entity's attempt to keep Ethan off the plane.

-Luther, what's going on? -Should we warn him?

-No. -Boys, can you hear me?

Find the bag. Away.

Luther, is something wrong?

No, everything is under control.

Found.

Information about the woman is on the way.

Jewel theft - FRAUD - Extortion

At least she's not a spy.

She is a thief.

Where am I going, Luther?

Take the door on your left.

I'm unlocking it now.

SAFE AREA

The bag is in tray 01833 on the way

towards the north-west end of the hall.

Received.

Hello.

Hi there.

I understand now.

You thought I was someone else.

Not interested.

Give me a chance.

I scream.

Here you go.

What will you?

This key,

which you stole from the

man's pocket is worthless

without this key.

But together they are

worth 4 million in crypto,

which the man had on a flash drive.

I do not know anything about that.

So what was the drive doing in your pocket?

Who are you?

Do you work with someone?

Never. Solo only.

Today you have a partner.

The man you robbed

must complete a trade

and leave the airport with both keys.

His flight leaves in...

Seven minutes.

You are good at emptying pockets.

Let's see if you can fill them.

Do you imagine I will put it back?

I know you will. You are a thief.

You want the money.

I can give them to you.

The choice is yours. Are you in or not?

All right.

What is the plan?

I hope you know what you are doing.

After you.

I won't need it here.

I do not smoke.

Keep it as a memory of me.

Ethan, the alloy of the stolen key...

- It's a forgery. - I didn't expect anything else.

The buyer must still leave here with both keys.

Luther, where am I going?

Go down the stairs and

the bag should be there.

I am there now.

It's him.

He walks right in front of you.

Pardon. We thought you were someone else.

Hunt is playing with us.

Split up and lead two by two.

Ethan, our American friends

split up and search the airport.

Be alert.

What shall I call you?

Grace. What about you?

Grace, you should know we're

not the only ones interested.

If I say "run", you run.

This is interesting enough.

Benji, do you have the bag?

I have found the!

There is a cylinder in it. I'll pick it up.

What's new, Luther?

The buyer is in the waiting

area above the escalator.

All the agents are on their way there.

It is immediately teeming with them.

Whatever it is, I just activated it.

We have five minutes.

And it's probably a nuclear bomb.

It will wipe out the entire airport.

-Can you disarm it? -Not without tools.

-Then find something. -Where?

Is it now that we have to run?

Not yet.

How's the bomb going?

Come on come on...

Managed!

It is a code cylinder.

Eight reels with 14 letters on each reel.

1.5 billion combinations.

Plus minus.

Good god...

What now?

The wheels form a message:

U. R. DUNN.

God we are not.

Not D-O-N-E,

but D-U-N-N.

That's my last name.

It knows who I am.

There is something on the display.

"I speak without a mouth and fly without wings. What am I?"

Have no idea.

It's an enigma. It is probably voice activated.

I have to say the answer.

"I fly..."

An echo?

That was right!

New message:

"Are you afraid of death?"

Was it supposed to be a riddle?

It is a psychometric test.

The more answers you give, the more it knows about you.

"Are you afraid of death?" No.

-Did it work? - It knows I lied.

Then tell the truth.

"Are you afraid of death?" Of course!

"What is always on the way but never arrives?"

I can do that.

The clock is ticking.

Puzzles are not my forte.

Time is running out!

There he is.

It will be easy.

Sorry, Ethan, but you

know what's always coming,

but never arrives?

Always on your way but never arriving?

Tomorrow.

What?

Tomorrow is always on the way, but never arrives.

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow!

Next question.

Give me the things.

- I'll keep an eye out. - You don't trust me then?

Luther, what's going on?

Nothing. Everything is under control.

Next question.

"Who or what is the most important thing in the world to you?"

Say it.

There is nothing else for.

My friends.

You satan.

Is he...?

Yes. Give me the things.

"What gets bigger the more you remove?"

-A hole. -A hole!

I don't get any more questions, but

a wheel is missing. What do I do?

The final test.

I have 45 seconds!

What do we do now?

I think.

Luther, how do I escape?

We have a bigger problem.

It is possible, no one escapes.

There is a nuclear bomb in the baggage hall.

The questions reveal the code that can disarm it.

Stop!

Why haven't you said anything?

We didn't want to disturb you.

A nuclear bomb I must be disrupted immediately. How long time?

Twenty seconds.

Twenty seconds?

There is one last puzzle missing.

What is the riddle about?

I can't manage to explain that.

Come on, Benji.

Why are we in this predicament?

Ten seconds.

Nine, eight, seven, six, five...

GOOD LUCK

Oh God...

What now?

Its empty.

There is nothing in it.

She has taken the key.

Our key. The real one.

Luther, find her.

She heads towards Terminal E.

Impossible.

Abort the mission.

-Where do we meet? - We don't do that.

The mission is aborted. Hurry away.

Hunt! Stop!

Can you see him?

Off the road!

Pardon! Pardon!

ROME

Away!

He must be here somewhere.

Damn!

Shortwave radios, magnetic tape storage

and picture tube screens are used here.

No more ones and zeros.

It is a complete analogue, offline

room shielded from the digital Entity.

Where do the pictures come from?

A CORONA spy satellite from the Cold War.

Do we still use them?

Not really.

We had given them to the weather service.

This is the last one that works.

Will it be able to find the nameless IMF man?

There is nothing that can.

But it has made it possible to keep an eye on this woman.

She was spotted with him in Abu Dhabi.

Who is she?

And where is she now?

You are sitting here because the police received

a tip that a woman with your description

would arrive by air from Abu Dhabi.

The woman would have several passports on her.

She here is wanted for fraud in Saint Petersburg.

Jewel theft in Antwerp. Art theft in Monaco.

Bribery in Milan. Extortion in Mumbai.

But this is my favorite:

Resisted arrest in Rio.

So now I'm curious.

Which of those women are you?

I've never seen those passports before.

They were in your bag and

all the pictures are of you.

-Can i see? -Here you go.

The resemblance is

striking, but it's not me.

As I said, I am...

...school teacher from Brighton on leave.

Whatever you are involved in,

you have some powerful enemies.

Her lawyer is here.

My lawyer?

Interrogator Spezzi.

Excuse me, who are you?

Interpol.

I am coming regarding the woman from Abu Dhabi.

I need to go through the belongings she was wearing.

May I see some identification?

Where are the rest?

That is all.

-What are they called? -She left Abu Dhabi with a special key.

There was no key.

It was an unusual type.

You could think it was a piece of jewelry.

One you could be tempted to put

on a chain around Amelia's neck.

Amelia?

Your wife.

Mother of your adorable daughter, Serena.

They are not from Interpol.

I am if I choose.

I can be anything and I know everything.

I know you have cheated yourself before.

A Cartier bracelet.

You were cleared of suspicion, but

you gave it to your mistress, Valeria,

on August 21, when she turned 29.

Who are they?

I have to search

you just to be sure.

Your secretary is no longer with us.

Thank you, gentlemen.

Sit down.

Please wait outside.

You.

This is your work.

I called the police but didn't tell them about your checkered past.

It's your own fault.

You placed the key on another passenger before you were arrested.

You agreed to meet later.

The person has no idea that

they are keeping the key for you.

An ignorant courier. The perfect sidekick.

I'm guessing a middle-aged man.

A man who has waited all his life to be appreciated by a woman like you.

Orphaned.

Extremely intelligent. Fiercely quick-witted.

A poor childhood gave you an appetite for expensive things.

Other people's things.

Someone saw your potential and developed your talents.

Talents that gave you the sweet life.

Tailored clothes, fine food, luxury hotels.

Talents that have kept you one step ahead of the law.

Until now.

You are probably allowed to steal for the day and the road.

You had no idea what you stole. Otherwise you would never have done it.

Listen once.

Get me out of here and I'll take you to the key in no time.

I have a better idea.

Tell me everything and I'll think

about getting you out of here.

Who hired you?

And don't lie, because I find out.

I have no idea.

The contact was primarily electronic.

- Email? -SMS.

- Encrypted? -Of course.

-Primarily? -Pardon?

You said the contact was primarily electronic.

I had to collect an envelope from a café in Luxembourg.

What was in the envelope?

A ticket to Abu Dhabi.

And a picture of you.

I was supposed to shadow

you while you chased a man

with a key and 4 million in crypto.

The drive was empty, by the way.

I can only get money for your half of the key.

Which you were supposed to lead to...?

Venice.

A party at the Doge's Palace tomorrow at midnight.

Are you expecting someone?

Your friends from the airport. I saw them out in the hallway.

You could have said that.

It's you they're after, not me.

Old pig!

No, Grace...

No.

She is my client.

Grace...

Easy easy.

Away, away, away!

Pardon!

Parking lots!

Grace! Stop the car!

I'm trying to help you!

Grab her.

Are you okay?

Don't worry, we'll handle it.

Give me your hand.

Quietly.

Calm.

Did you break something?

Hunt!

The game is out.

Let the girl go.

Put on the handcuffs.

Go ahead, get on with them.

He doesn't shoot you.

Put down your weapons!

We are a special force. He is wanted for terrorism.

Degas, get those women away.

Hunt, listen to me.

Let her go and put them on.

Put down those weapons!

Everything is under control.

Easy easy.

In cover!

-Down! -In cover!

-You drive. -What?

No!

The accelerator at the bottom.

Drive, drive, drive!

Drive, drive, drive!

In with you!

On, on.

You must not stop.

Cars!

Apply the brake and start the engine again.

Wait, what are you doing?

I do not want to anymore.

There are people hunting us.

Yes it is there. You drive.

Who is she?

Have no idea.

-Are you okay? -When this is over.

We'll make it.

Is someone not chasing us?

We have to get rid of this car.

Scooters? Piss.

What are you doing?

Get us a new car.

Okay.

Give me two seconds.

-Thanks. Okay? -Yes.

-Clear? -I'm ready.

Are you okay?

-I'm really sorry. -It is okay.

This car...

It is okay.

The way they set them

up is sometimes a bit...

Traffic cameras have identified the woman via facial recognition.

She drives a yellow Fiat 500.

We follow.

Now I have you.

We got away.

Away, away, away!

Baby, baby, baby!

What?

No no no...

Drive!

Straight!

We're on fire! We're on fire!

It's the tires. Drive straight ahead.

Why is it spinning?

Like, like!

I have it now.

To the right! The path!

Turn right!

-Who is driving? -It is you.

Drive straight ahead.

Just keep going straight ahead.

Or turn left. It's going well.

The armor!

Take the wheel!

Brake!

You have the steering wheel.

Straight?

To the right!

-What now? -To the left.

It's going well.

There are pedestrians.

-There is a car. -I have seen it.

Full throttle.

Hold on!

-Where do we end up? -Have no idea.

Brake!

You mustn't hate me.

Grace! Grace!

Come on.

Ethan.

Ethan!

Come on!

We know Grace has one part of the key and

will be at the Doge's Palace by midnight.

Now we also know who is waiting for her there.

The evening's host is our favorite arms smuggler

and black market shark, Alana Mitsopolis.

The White Widow.

Does she really still think you're the

infamous mass murderer John Lark?

Who says I'm not?

Didn't she promise you a bounty?

She did, but she and Ethan found out.

You never told how.

Shall we move on?

Yes.

Even if we get the whole key tonight, we're

still missing someone who knows what it unlocks.

But where do we find such a one?

The bomb at the airport must have

been planted there by someone.

Someone who works for the Entity.

Here is the surveillance footage from

the airport before everything ran away.

And here is the video from your AR glasses.

I've run facial recognition on everyone.

Do you notice anything mysterious?

It looks like a ghost.

Ghosts do not have mirror images.

The only person in the airport without any identity.

The only man seen nowhere

else in the airport than in that mirror.

He has been deleted in real time.

The entity.

It protects him.

You saw him, didn't you?

I wasn't sure.

Who is he?

One I thought

had died a long time ago.

In another life.

Before the IMF.

Before I was offered the choice.

And in a very real sense

He made me who I am today.

Does he have a name?

His name is Gabriel.

Do you know him?

No one knows him.

Nothing is recorded of his past.

The Entity has taken care of that.

He is a dark messiah.

The entity's chosen messenger.

He contemplates death

as a gift he wants to share with the rest of the world.

How do you know that?

I still have friends at MI6.

Friends who fear that the British government will gain control of the Entity.

To oppose them will be considered treason.

And because you are out of favor,

your friends have asked you for help.

They knew Gabriel was in the service of

the Entity and was on his way to Istanbul

to grab one half of a cross-shaped key.

That's why I got him ahead of the game.

And when Kittridge promised you a bounty,

did you hide in the desert

But the bounty hunters found you anyway.

Yes.

Did your friends mention what the key unlocks?

MI6 suspects it leads to the Entity's source code.

Source code?

Why haven't you told me?

I'm telling it now.

How did your friends contact you?

Did you talk face to face?

I'm out of favor.

They did not dare to meet with me, so all communication…

Conducted electronically. Digitally.

We cannot know it was the Entity.

Or that it wasn't.

We cannot know what is real outside this forum.

You shouldn't be here.

I know Gabriel.

He does not enjoy the killings,

but the suffering they bring.

And he knows what he can do best

hit me by hitting you.

And when Gabriel finds out...

So does the Entity.

There must be a reason he wanted me here.

It wanted you here.

"Who or what is the most important thing in the world to you?"

You must get out of here. All.

Put now that's what it wants.

That you must come alone tonight.

Then you are out of danger after all.

I should never have mentioned it.

You play four-dimensional chess with an algorithm.

The entity knows who we are.

It must have anticipated our every move.

We have to assume it knows what we want to do.

If you want to defeat it, you must think like it.

Cold, logical, emotionless.

If the key does indeed grant control over the Entity,

Gabriel is the last person who should have it.

She's right, Ethan.

Gabriel can't get the key.

And our lives must not be more important than the mission.

I do not accept that.

This is my first time in Venice.

Same here.

May I have a drink?

I'm waiting for one.

Me too.

We can wait together. My name is Gabriel.

I see.

And your name is Grace.

I'm not wearing it.

Understandably.

But I'm not after the key.

So what do you want?

I want to tell you a story.

You're not the one I'm supposed to meet.

It's your story, Grace.

I know how it ends.

But maybe we can change that.

Let's go party.

Sorry, that gentleman...

Please follow along.

You need to know that you are not the only one.

30 years ago

was it Marie.

The first of many women to confide in our mutual friend.

Women he could use.

Women who were in deep water, which he imagined them to be.

Does that sound familiar?

What happened to Marie?

The same thing that happens to all the women he exploits.

And everyone who touches the key.

He doesn't care if people die.

He thinks only of his end goal.

And the only thing standing in his way now,

is you

-Should I believe it? -No.

You have ended up in a world

of lies where no one tells the truth.

Remember that when he promises to protect you.

Grace...

Long time ago, Ethan.

You should have killed me while you could.

Good evening, everybody.

No, we don't actually have that.

But until you reveal your

real name, I'll settle for Lark.

Good to see you, Alana.

You are Gabriel, I suppose.

I have heard very little about you.

You are even more beautiful in reality.

And a gentleman too.

And you must be Grace.

Should I know you?

You wanted something for me.

You were the one who hired me.

I handpicked you.

Do not!

Let yourself be.

She doesn't have it.

Where is it?

In the last place you would think to look.

Shall we go upstairs and have a drink?

Whoa, where are you going?

It's a closed party.

Shut up...

As most of you know, I'm just an

intermediary between buyer and seller.

Preferably for money or

information, but mostly for friendship.

I just want everyone to be friends.

Especially with me.

But the world is changing.

Truth is a scarce commodity.

War is at the door.

And the key to world domination is, of all things, a key.

One who gives control over the Entity.

One that the world's state

powers will pay a fortune for.

Some of my close friends, namely the world's

major nuclear powers and some of the small ones,

has asked me to get them the key.

If you find the key, you are

in an impossible dilemma.

Whoever you give the key to will be eternally indebted

to you, but the rest of the world will be your enemy.

I like her.

What is your relationship with him?

Gabriel represents yet another interested party.

This party is organized by the interested party.

You can even say that the party is the interested party.

Is it...?

The entity.

The matter is settled.

Should I give the key to one of my friends

or put it and my fate in the hands of Gabriel

and his hell machine?

Why do you think you get the total key?

You have one half.

And she knows where the other one is.

If you can get hold of it,

why not keep the key and the power yourself?

Because, like us, she

has no idea what it unlocks.

You must choose a suitor.

Tastelessly worded, Lark, but it's true.

I know what it unlocks.

And what will he give for the key?

I have not come to get the key.

Both halves will be mine tomorrow.

How can you be sure of that?

I represent an immeasurable power.

Trillions of calculations per millisecond

manipulating billions of people

and plot every imaginable course of

action, every deeply improbable scenario,

into a real map of the most likely outcome.

A few tweaks to the present and

the future is all but guaranteed.

The key will be mine.

Tomorrow.

On board the Orient Express bound for Innsbruck.

Innsbruck?

It knows it.

It knows you have already chosen a suitor.

It knows you intend to collect the

key to secure power for yourself.

But I have been promised that

the key will be laid at my feet,

assuming someone dies here tonight.

Who?

Her.

Or her.

And you must witness it, Ethan.

The key will be mine before I

disappear like smoke in a hurricane.

But first someone you care about must die.

It is sealed.

Can you see what's wrong?

He is afraid.

It's scared.

It knows we are on the right track.

Why else would you be here?

Help me collect the key and I'll kill the scum.

It knows everything about you, Alana.

Don't listen to that fanatic.

If you help him, you die.

If you help him, everyone dies.

See you tomorrow.

Alana?

His fate is sealed.

Shall we seal yours too?

Alana...

About forgiveness, Lark.

For the sake of old friendship, you must be allowed to choose.

Ilsa or

Grace?

Kill him, Zola. Kill him now.

You choose, Alana.

But remember, Grace knows where the other half of the key is.

If something happens to one of them, there is no

place on Earth where you and your god can be safe.

I will do anything to kill you. It is sealed.

It was nice to see you, old friend.

See you later.

You have committed a fatal roar.

My life is in danger.

I must and must take that train tomorrow.

And I must and must have that key,

no matter how I get it.

Don't move.

Run as far away as you can.

What the hell...

Grace!

Grace!

Luther and Benji,

Grace flees the palace on foot. She has the key.

-We are here. -You must find her.

Piss! I need a new satellite.

I am hacking a Russian Zenith 4.

It is scraping the bottom, but we have to make do.

This way!

Where am I going? Come on.

Moment.

She is north of you, heading across the bridge.

Repeat it.

To the north, on the bridge.

Ethan, turn right.

Down the alley and to the left.

Now the picture fell again.

The entity is necking satellites before I can hack them.

Benji, where is she?

-Down the alley and to the left. -Received.

Turn right.

Sorry, I meant left.

Oh God.

Ethan, the connection has been hijacked by the Entity.

To the left. To the right. Over the bridge.

Ethan, it's not me.

Ethan, come in.

Down the alley. To the left.

To the right.

Get the connection restored.

I'm trying to find Ethan.

Down at the end and to the right.

Grace is 800 meters from you.

Not that way!

Which way then?

Left or right?

It does not matter.

What do you mean? Where is she?

She is on her way to the Minichbroen...

...where Gabriel is waiting.

You never arrive in time.

But you can make it, Ilsa.

I know what matters most to you, Ethan.

You're not Benji.

No I am not.

But you're done.

Novel.

I was hoping it would be you.

Pardon,

but I forgot your name.

Luther.

Benji.

And her?

Ilsa.

Were you close friends?

you and her?

On set and show.

It's my fault she's dead.

No.

It's her fault you're alive.

It's the truth.

I have a hard time with that.

That will probably never change.

I am sorry.

If there is anything I can do…

That's what we want to talk to you about.

In about three hours, The White Widow is

expected to take the Orient Express to Innsbruck,

where a buyer is waiting to receive the entire key.

But she doesn't have the whole key.

The widow doesn't have that.

But our garden could.

What is it?

This is your opportunity to become someone else.

I do not understand it.

You're honestly in trouble, Grace.

And fake passports won't get you out of it.

State powers know who you are.

The widow knows it.

And the Entity knows it.

You only have three options now.

Prison, death...

Or the election.

The choice?

The three of us have each

been in a situation like yours.

And we each got the choice.

-The choice we now offer you. -What is it about?

To join us.

And become a ghost.

Stop, stop.

You are not serious.

You said you wanted to help.

So you want to jump off the train with the key?

Yes.

Only you?

Yes.

What about me?

You will be arrested by the CIA, presumably by the

agents who have been hunting me since Abu Dhabi.

Before long you will be visited

by a certain Eugene Kittridge.

Tell him I gave you the choice,

and that you chose to say yes.

And you trust this Kittridge?

I trust he will be able to see your worth.

He can use you.

And then what afterwards?

This?

When will I get my life back?

What kind of life?

What kind of life is that?

We all lived that life.

No one is forcing us to do this.

We want to be here.

You can get one.

I get you the key and

you erase my past.

New name, some pocket money...

It will be the death of you.

Without a team, your life should not be measured in years or months.

It must be measured in hours.

But if I stay here, I can know for sure.

Then you protect me.

-Yes. -No.

I can't promise you that.

None of us can do that.

But I swear

that your life

will always be more important to me than my own.

You don't even know me.

Does it make any difference?

I packed a BASE screen and a speedwing,

depending on how you get off the train.

The cochlea now runs on space waves.

Not as reliable, but completely analogous and immune to the Entity.

Understood.

And now I must leave you.

The drive here is from the laptop I used last night.

If there's even the slightest trace of the

Entity's code on it, I'll probably find it,

but it will require everything from me.

I must work completely offline,

where the Entity cannot find me.

I have to leave.

Understood.

Listen up.

There is something I must ask you.

Not as your partner, but as your friend.

What is your end goal?

To kill the Entity.

How about killing Gabriel?

He knows what the key unlocks.

We need him alive. I haven't forgotten that.

But do you remember that,

when you face him?

Think about it.

Why else would the Entity set him up to kill someone you care about?

Everyone else imagines they can control the Entity.

You are the only one who will kill it.

For the foreseeable future,

it has seen you win, Ethan.

And it's scared.

Afraid you'll take Gabriel alive and

force him to reveal what the key unlocks.

I think it bets on one of two possible outcomes.

In one outcome, you die on the train.

In the second outcome, you kill Gabriel.

In both cases, the Entity wins.

Luther...

...I think you are right.

Grab the key and

jump off the train alive.

You must not kill Gabriel.

And you must not, I repeat,

you must not change the plan.

Ethan!

-What happened? -It's dead.

-Death? -The short circuited one.

I had the mask made for Grace,

but it died when I made yours.

Can you repair it?

It is very, very dead.

I couldn't make it in a week. The train leaves in an hour.

Ethan, you'll

have to do without.

Impossible. They will look for Ethan and Grace at the station.

The mask was his access point.

What does it mean?

Grace must drive without me.

What have?

You get me on board in a different way.

Find a curve where the train is moving slowly and I can jump on.

Now wait a bit.

Do you want me to do it alone?

You will not be alone.

You just do as agreed.

You get the Widow's part of the key

and verifies it with ours.

It is worthless on its own.

However, we still need the buyer to reveal what the key unlocks.

How?

We will find out.

I need a little more detail.

This kind of thing is mostly just a hindrance.

You can. Just grab the key and wait.

I'll probably come.

If Grace is going to catch that train, she

needs to put on the mask and leave now.

Promise me you'll come.

I will be there.

Whatever it takes.

THE AUSTRIAN ALPS

Our people cover the airport, railway station and waterways.

Grace doesn't get out of Venice without us discovering it.

- Talk to me, Benji. -Do not worry.

The train is on schedule and you are

early for it, so we have plenty of time.

Are you sure?

I'm looking at the train now.

That should slow down the basket in two minutes.

Just make sure I'm at the right time and place.

We will meet at the agreed place.

There we have the train.

Yes, I see that.

It should be approaching the curve now.

It doesn't slow down.

How do we know he's here?

Because she's here.

Maybe he has a good reason.

-Who? - Hunt.

Maybe he has a good reason to commit suicide.

He always commits suicide.

Him and his merry band of jesters.

They don't do anything else.

Maybe they have a good reason.

What would you do with a key that

can bring the whole world to its knees?

I would hand it over to my superiors.

Imagine having all that power.

You wouldn't hesitate a moment?

-No. -Why not?

One person should not have that much power.

Exact.

No man should have that much power.

Maybe that's what Hunt is thinking.

Who do you really side with, Degas?

When it comes to the end of the world,

then I agree with everyone.

I missed the train.

How could you miss the train?

How do you think?

Gabriel.

-What do we do? - No panic.

I drive after them. You get me on board the train.

How do I get you...?

Autopilot activated.

I will not be disturbed before the meeting.

Where are you going Ethan?

Alana?

Is everything OK?

Alana, are you all right?

Alana?

Alana?

You have changed your clothes.

And you are irreplaceable.

Sir. Kittridge.

Kittridge.

You are not Alana Mitsopolis.

You can't possibly be.

The Alana I remember was so tall and drinking hot

chocolate in the Tuileries Garden with her mother.

-Paris! -Exactly.

Paris...

Shall we?

Yes.

Talk to me, Benji.

Just stay on the path and I'll direct you.

Received.

On behalf of my government, I will reluctantly comply

with your demands for the collected and verified key.

Yes, we promised to

obtain the total key, but...

...we ran into a problem.

Not at all.

My requirements have just changed a bit.

I guess I must remind you of my agreement with your blessed mother.

The deal that saved her from dying in a prison.

Your family empire was allowed to last as long

as it primarily served our common interests.

As soon as we give you the key,

everyone else will become our enemies.

Therefore, I must ask you to do something for me personally.

I'm listening.

Zola, please wait for me at the bar.

BRITISH PASSPORT

Her?

Do you know her?

She's not exactly someone you overlook easily.

If you got to know her, you would discover her qualities.

What is there to know?

I have performed... She has performed a task for me.

I want you to protect her.

Against whom?

Against everyone.

Also against me.

And no one must know I'm protecting her.

Neither did Zola.

The next time we meet, I won't even

be able to remember this conversation.

You must be the one they call Paris.

Do you have the key?

It is on board the train.

- It is changing hands right now. -We know that.

The man who receives it will not

be difficult to get out of the way.

They never are.

Whatever the key unlocks,

you don't know where the lock is.

Should something happen to me,

the key is pretty much worthless.

Now, you tell me a story.

where is the train

You are on the right track, but it needs to go faster.

I drive as fast as I can.

When does it go downhill?

Right away.

The AI ​​our agent stole can be weaponized

and reach any place in the world via satellite.

It can infiltrate any network, perform its task

undetected and self-destruct without a trace.

The perfect secret agent.

We got an early version on board the Russians' newest submarine.

The top-secret Akula submarine Sevastopol.

The purpose was to sabotage Sevastopol's stealth function,

so we could track it.

The AI's target was the submarine's sonar

sphere, the core of its defense system.

For reasons we don't fully understand,

the AI ​​ran wild and…

...overachievers.

The crew's frozen bodies were recovered the following spring.

The two halves of the key mysteriously disappeared.

Sevastopol sunk.

Nobody knows where.

I know exactly where it is,

like the only man in the world.

I also know that attempts to rein in

The AI ​​made it more unruly.

It rebelled, rewrote itself and evolved into the Entity.

And only with the help of the Entity's source

code can it be controlled or wiped out.

Should that worry us?

Otherwise you wouldn't be here.

Now let's put the cards on the table.

We both know what the key

opens and that power over the Entity

lies hidden in Sevastopol's memory.

Along with evidence that you were behind the sinking of the submarine.

And since none of us

wants others to find it,

why not enter into an alliance?

Imagine the immeasurable computing power of

the Entity combined with the enormous power

in the US military industrial complex.

It is worth considering.

Of course, certain government officials

with warped ideas about patriotism will

necessarily had to be removed.

I'll just join.

They will form an axis with the Entity,

weed out habitual thinking in the government

and create a new superstate to rule the world.

But of course...

...for the sake of the common good.

And you are sure that you

are the only one in the world,

who knows where Sevastopol is?

The only one.

You will betray us

and tell Ethan Hunt everything you know…

...because he spared your life.

It's a deal.

I give Grace immunity and a new identity.

All you have to do is

enter your bank details.

TRANSFER

DECODE BLOCKCHAIN

Are we done?

Yes.

The hour of truth.

So that was it.

You made the right choice.

This key...

...will change the world.

DECODE BLOCKCHAIN

Benji, I must have taken

a wrong turn somewhere.

No, it's good enough.

How?

You can see the train, right?

Yes, I can see the train. And?

And you're wearing a parachute.

What do you want me to do?

Just... jump.

-Just jump? -Yes.

But I'm not up high enough.

There are rock outcroppings everywhere.

I hit them before the screen opens.

I have no idea if I can even

make it across the valley

and land safely on a speeding train.

-Is that understood? - Yes, that's understood!

I'm just trying to help.

Now you have to pull yourself together,

because I'm under a lot of pressure right now!

Okay, think, think.

What do I do?

I have to get off the mountain.

DECODE BLOCKCHAIN

Did it work?

Are you okay?

I'm trying to get off the mountain!

DECODE BLOCKCHAIN

COMPLETED

RECEIVE - REJECT

RECEIVE

REJECT

Alana?

I got an unpleasant feeling from

that the key wasn't the only thing I was selling.

I do not understand.

I will be able to sleep better if it is in the right hands.

Goodbye, Mr. Kittridge.

It was a pleasure to see you again.

Don't let him out of your sight.

Keep an eye on him until we get there.

Don't think about me, Zola.

Alana?

Who the hell else would it be?

The key...

Where is the key?

- She has the key. -Who?

Her the other!

EMERGENCY BRAKE

Away! Off the road!

Turn around!

Everyone out, now!

I can see the train.

I don't think I'll make it.

The key.

The key!

Otherwise, your name will be on the next one.

On the table.

Kill her.

Grace.

Ethan!

Are you okay?

Are you okay?

The key!

Hopefully you have it.

Where is the key? It was here just before.

The train has run away.

I follow him.

-You stop the train. -Okay.

No, wait! How do you do?

You will find out.

What?!

Excuse me, where is the man who just ran through here?

There was a man.

Sir. Kittridge?

What are you doing here?

I'm not here.

But you are.

And unless you want to be demoted to the

postal service, you do exactly as I say.

I know what the key unlocks.

I'm the only one who knows.

Hunt!

Hunt!

You don't!

Drop the knife!

Put it down!

I said drop it!

Do it!

Get up!

Okay.

Drop the twisted knife!

Take it easy.

Grab him.

Keep him covered. He is the one you should take.

Degas!

He is the one you must take!

I'm only after you.

No!

Take it easy.

Take it easy.

Listen carefully.

Everyone on the train will die

if you don't do exactly as I say.

Ladies and gentlemen...

Everyone in the back of the train!

Grace.

I couldn't stop it.

No one can do that.

Came.

Ethan, the key...

It's my fault.

Does something happen...

I have it.

We have it.

Ethan!

Have you lost your key?

Speed ​​up, speed up! Look to get some speed!

All the way down the back of the train!

What's going on?

They're not here, so don't worry about that.

All the way down the back!

Grace!

Grace!

You have to jump.

Jump, jump, jump!

Oh God.

There is fire in me!

It is switched off.

Hold on!

Run, run, run!

Hold on.

I have you.

Don't look down.

Look at me.

I'll skip and you wait here.

Grace, you have to let go.

You have to let

me jump or we die.

Do you trust me?

You have to trust me.

Come on, you have

to jump. Look at me.

I won't let you fall.

I promise. Come on.

I won't let you fall.

Jump now! Trust me!

Don't look down.

Listen carefully. We pull you up together.

It will be OK.

Crawl over me.

- Thank you, Luther. -What is it?

A speedwing.

Our way away from the train.

Ethan. Ethan!

It held true.

He said,

I wanted to betray him.

It is true.

Why...

...did you spare my life?

No, stay awake.

Do you know what this is?

Do you know what it is? Yes?

What does it unlock?

What does it unlock?

Sevastopol.

Sevastopol?

The city of Sevastopol in Crimea?

Where?

Where in Sevastopol?

Submarine.

The submarine...

...Sevastopol.

Good luck.

They're on their way, Ethan.

Thanks.

What now?

What?

It can only carry one.

Understood.

-Grace... -It's okay.

This was the plan.

You have the key. Off you go.

Grace...

Hunt?

Away. Go!

No! Hunt!

Move!

There is still a pulse.

Stay awake.

Isn't it better this way?

Face to true face?

Sir. kittridge,

Ethan Hunt says, You are a man I can trust.

Well, so he does?

He also said that you would offer me a choice.

Interesting.

I choose to say yes.

We cannot escape the past.

Some of us are doomed to repeat it.

Grace thinks you've saved her from her fate,

but you and I know you've only bought her time.

Isn't that the usual pattern?

The cross you must bear.

The closer someone is to you,

the harder it is to keep them alive.

Thank God.

Every day is a new burden.

The key is just the beginning.

Wherever it leads and

whatever it takes to get there…

...you have to do it alone.

Should your mission fail, the

Entity and Gabriel have won,

and then the world will pay the highest price.

Should anyone from your team be captured or

killed, their sacrifice will have been in vain.

So hurry up.

Time is running out.

The world doesn't know it, but it's counting on you.

Whoop whoop, Ethan.
