Mission: Impossible III Page #5

and there was no answer.

No. Sorry.

Hey, did your friend find you?

Which friend?

I don't know. Just some English guy.

Rick, what did you tell him?

Look, it's all good, man.

I told him I didn't know where you were,

and Julia might, and he should

just try her at the hospital.

Hello?

- All right, see you tomorrow, Sally.

- All right. Good night, honey.

Hi. It's Julia.

Please leave me a message...

... at 4:
00 today, the Chesapeake Bay

Bridge is closed in both directions.

- Sixth floor.

- Sally, this is Ethan.

- I need to talk to Julia.

- Hey, honey.

She just went downstairs.

I'll transfer you.

Damn it!

Excuse me.

I was wondering if you knew

where I might find this patient.

Probably not. But I'll know who can.

What's that?

Sally. Where's Julia?

- Where's Julia?

- I think she left.

Have you tried the east building?

- Has Julia left yet?

- I haven't seen her.

- Mike, Mike. Have you seen Julia?

- Hey, you okay?

- Have you seen Julia?

- No.

Watch it, buddy!

- Jules?

- You hung me outside of an airplane.

You can always tell

someone's character

by the way 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 going to get it and bring it to me.

The Rabbit's Foot.

Ethan, 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.

- Julia's life for the Rabbit's Foot.

- You have 48 hours, or she dies.

- Wait! Wait. Wait.

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.

- Okay.

- Get ready to transport.

Whoa. Hey. Just not right now.

- Just tell them you came and that...

- Ethan. Get in.

We don't want to use force here,

and you know we will. Ethan, get in.

- Tell them that you came here...

- Ethan!

...and that I left already, okay?

Freeze!

Ethan, stop! Stop, Ethan!

Yeah. Get his hands.

I reviewed the transcript

of your Berlin operation.

It's very interesting.

It seems that Agent Farris

had some information

she wished to share with you

but not with this agency.

Something you failed to report.

You ordered the Vatican operation

without proper approvals.

That mission

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.

Ethan, at least show me the courtesy

of looking at me when I'm talking to you.

I intercepted Davian's call. I know he

wants the Rabbit's Foot for Julia's life.

It's just...

This is

so disappointing.

Go to Shanghai.

Feng Shan Apartments... 1406.

I wish there was something I could do

to help you, but...

Take him to the holding cell.

No, I'm on it.

Yes, sir. There's no need to panic.

I'll get him back.

Sir? Ethan Hunt...

I know what happened.

Give me the radio.

This is Director Brassel. Ethan Hunt

is attempting to escape the building.

He's in the west cargo elevator.

He must be stopped.

I want Mendoza and Graham

in the situation room right away.

I'm having the building surrounded, sir.

I've got units posted

at all the entrances.

This is Brassel again. 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.

You've got to be kidding me.

Last call for flight 1162 for Helsinki,

now boarding at gate 46.

Final call for Mr. Bower.

Final call for Mr. Bower.

Please come to gate 4.

- Mr. Pavel Sobo... Sobotka.

- Sobotka.

Sobotka. Okay.

And you're flying to Shanghai?

I don't speak Czech. I'm sorry.

Let's see about your flight.

Okay.

- Okay.

- Okay.

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.

According to the plans

from Davian's briefcase,

it's in a laboratory on the 56th floor

of the Hengshan Lu Building.

Which is a nightmare

for just about every reason.

They're a Chinese military contractor.

We have no pull, no details.

The good news is, whatever it is,

the Rabbit Foot'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

former People's Liberation Army.

The only access to the lab

is by private elevator.

And that can only be activated

by persons inside the lab.

All of it surveilled by

security cameras within the building.

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?

It's 162 meters at the highest point.

What about that, the building

on the left? How tall is that one?

Says 226 meters.

Ethan?

That's good. I think it's tall enough.

- For what?

- A fulcrum.

Oh, you're gonna swing...

No, no, no, no. Wait, wait.

- You could bounce right off the roof.

- Yes, I could.

Even if you made it to the rooftop,

took out the guards,

and got the Rabbit's Foot, you can't just

walk out of the lobby. What's your exit?

Base-jump off the top. I need a chute.

Even at 162, you're pushing

minimum height for a jump.

Chute opens any lower than that

and you're dead.

What are you going to do?

Land in the middle of Shanghai

and hope no one notices?

Central Park's two blocks away.

Wait, wait, Ethan, I'm not saying

I have a better idea,

but there's a point

where bold becomes stupid.

Now, we don't even know

what this thing is, and you're talking

about handing it over to a guy

who provides terrorists with information.

Luther, of course I'm not

suggesting that we just hand it over.

We're going to tag the Rabbit's Foot

so we can trace it and know where it is.

Now, 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 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.
