Mission: Impossible III Page #2

Synopsis: A man named Owen Davian kills an IMF agent that was sent undercover by the legendary Ethan Hunt, who has retired from combat missions. Hunt now has a fiancé, Julia, who believes that he works for the traffic department when he really trains younger IMF agents to go into combat. He is assigned to his last mission. His mission, should he choose to accept it is to capture Davian, who is selling a toxic weapon called the rabbits foot. But Davian is reckless, cruel, and deathly. He promises Hunt that he will find Julia, hurt her, and Ethan will be too dead to help her. The mission is no more different to others, its dangerous, smart, and impossible; but now it's personal.

Hey, Ethan, don't worry.

We're going to get the girl.

Or have you been away so long

you've forgotten how good we are?

Welcome back, brother.

Is our truck in place?

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.

Guns ready.

All four 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.

Target match.

The prize is on the sixth floor.

Two Tangos with her.

Moving in.

So, Raider One, at some point,

we got to go over

this whole "getting married" thing.

Negative, Observer.

I don't respect you nearly enough

to have that conversation.

You may not respect me,

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.

Yeah, and the way things are,

I probably never will.

Lucky for her, right?

That's what you're thinking.

They've got communications gear.

Two Tangos, second floor,

northwest corridor.

Groundhog, that's you.

You need to grab that gear

on the second floor

as soon as we go hot.

Copy that. 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.

The prize should be

at the end of the hall.

Phoenix, I have eye on the prize.

Give her 10 cc's more.

- Call me when she wakes.

- Okay.

We need touchdown in less than three.

Do you copy?

Roger that, I copy.

Please, when do I not copy?

All I do is copy.

Stand by to go live. On my mark.

Three.

Two.

One. Execute.

Warning. Warning.

Raider One, you're clear. Move!

Lindsey. Lindsey.

Ethan?

I'm going to get you home.

Observer, I've got the prize.

Evac in three.

Roger that.

This is adrenaline.

Lindsey, you're going to feel this.

Groundhog, second floor is clear.

On the move!

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.

- Come on, come on.

- 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.

Get down!

I'm out. How many rounds you got?

Enough.

Now I'm out.

T minus five, baby.

Lindsey, hold on to me.

Luther!

Rolling!

God! My head! What is that?

- What is...

- Is she okay?

Lindsey! Let's get to the chopper.

Zhen, get rid of the truck.

Let's go!

God! What is that? You can't hear that?

- Oh! God!

- What's wrong with her?

- Let's go!

- We loaded?

Yeah. Let's do it! Move out!

Go, go, go, go, go!

- Son of a b*tch.

- No!

Guys, we got company.

I'm going to try and lose them.

Hurts so much.

Turn it off. Please.

Please, Ethan.

Guys, their missiles are hot!

Incoming! Hold on.

Okay. 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.

- Do you remember that?

- No. Time-release...

An explosive. They've activated it.

It's gonna detonate

unless we fry the charge,

- which is what we're gonna do.

- No, Ethan.

Zap her like that, you'll stop her heart.

Then I'll zap her again

and bring her back.

Do it!

Guys! They're firing another one!

- Ethan!

- Zhen!

Zhen, hold on. Hold on, hold on!

- I want you to set it for 150.

- 150.

Lindsey, I'm gonna short out

the explosive in your head.

- You're gonna be okay.

- It'll need 30 seconds.

Damn it.

- Twenty-five seconds!

- Come on.

We're almost there.

- They have us locked.

- Twenty seconds.

Hold on.

I got them!

- Ten seconds.

- Almost there. Almost there.

Give me the paddles.

Ethan. Thank you.

Sh*t.

Hey.

Hey.

How did it go?

I'm sorry. Fine. I'm sorry.

I'm just tired.

I read your training 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.

Mr. Brassel, it's unacceptable to judge

Agent Farris' competence based...

It's unacceptable

that chocolate makes you fat,

but I've eaten my share.

And guess what?

Now, I approved Agent Farris'

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

at his organization.

The men there

more than likely 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 your chopper without a scan.

That explosive device

could have taken you all out.

There is one reason that you are sitting

here before me today, and that is luck.

Because your operation was

poorly conceived and executed worse.

- Two laptops were recovered...

- I'm aware of that.

We've talked to Tech Services.

They doubt

if they can reconstitute the drives.

"Crispy," I believe,

is what they called them. Worthless.

Mr. Brassel,

as Operation Manager of this office,

- I have the authority...

- Excuse me.

Did you just throw a title at me,

Mr. Musgrave?

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 was the one

who 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.

Do you know what I've got for it?

It's never been confirmed

the Toxin Five theft was Davian.

Mr. Musgrave, please don't interrupt me

when I'm asking rhetorical questions.

Your operation has achieved one thing.

You have reminded Davian

that he is winning.

And now, if you'll excuse me,

I have to go inform Mr. And Mrs. Farris

that their baby girl was killed

in a head-on collision on l-95.

I stand here today deeply saddened

by the death of one of God's children,

Lindsey Elizabeth Farris.

It is always startling when the Lord

takes one of our young so unexpectedly.

Be aggressive. Come on. Stay focused.

Keep your knees bent. Good. Good.

Now, to fire the lock,

the extractor has to be...

That bag's not going to hit you back.

Hit harder.

Don't rely on your sights.
