Mission: Impossible
Jim Phelps and his latest IMF team, who had just finished another mission in Kyiv, are sent to Prague to stop rogue agent Alexander Golitsyn from stealing the CIA NOC list. However, the mission unexpectedly fails after the list is stolen. Jack, who is hidden above an elevator, is killed when it mysteriously malfunctions and an emergency brake spike squashes his face in. Phelps's camera shows a gun shooting him and falls over the side of the bridge. Hannah gets into the car where Clair was when it suddenly blows up, killing her. Sarah tails Golitsyn and finds him being murdered by someone unseen, Hunt finds her stabbed to death and she dies in His arms, with Golitsyn dying too leaving Ethan Hunt as the sole survivor. While IMF director Eugene Kittridge debriefs him, Hunt realizes that another IMF team was and is presently watching him and learns that the mission was a setup to lure out a mole within the IMF, believed to be working with an arms dealer named "Max" as part of "Job 314." Hunt, realizing Kittridge suspects him of being the mole as he is the only survivor, escapes by using exploding chewing gum given to him by Jack before the mission.
