About this episode
Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH The president reaches out to thank Ethan and tells him that she wants him to bring her the key because if he gets rid of the Entity by himself, it would destroy cyberspace. So he goes to meet up with Benji and go find Luther in a tunnel to figure out what’s next, where Luther is hanging out with a hospital bed. They discuss that they need to find Gabriel, so that starts by breaking Paris out She tells him to go to London but instead Gabriel captures them and explains to Ethan that retrieving Rabbits Foot actually set off this whole chain reaction. Ethan and Grace escape with Ethan faking his death and then him just going ham on some dudes. They discover a device that Gabriel used to communicate with the Entity, this coffin-looking thing. He gets in and it’s not good. It shows Ethan a vision of a coming nuclear apocalypse. He sees a vision of Luther dying, so he goes to try to stop him but it’s too late. Gabriel put him in a cell with a bomb in it. He has 3 minutes to disarm or London will fall. If he does disarm it, it’ll still explode but smaller so only Luther will die When Ethan gets out of the tunnel, he runs into Briggs who arrests him. Ethan tells him he knows he’s really the son of Jim Phelps. He tells Ethan this isn’t about revenge. It’s about Ethan never following orders and gambling with the fate of the world. He’s taken to Kittridge who tells him it all comes down to this. They have less than 4 days to stop the Entity before it has the entire world’s nuclear weapons. He’s taken into a room and President Sloan shows up. He says he needs the key and a plane. It’s the only way he can destroy the Entity. The Entity is betting on you not trusting me She finally gives in, gives him the key, and card that he’ll know what to do with it when the time comes. Ethan's team travels to St. Matthew Island in the Bering Sea, home to a Cold War–era sonar array that detected the Sevastopol's sinking. They locate former CIA analyst William Donloe, who was exiled to the island decades earlier after a break-in at CIA headquarters. They’re supposed to share on a frequency where Ethan is supposed to go. But they have visitors. Ethan can’t wait anymore, so he just jumps in the ocean. Luckily, divers from the USS Ohio were waiting for him and they take him down to the sub. Donloe admits that he wrote down the coordinates. He sends his wife out to the barn to “tend to the dogs” with Grace while he sends the coordinates then a fight and fire break out with the Russians. They successful get the USS Ohio the coordinates. The captain of the USS Ohio explains they can’t stick around cuz of the Russians. Ethan says their chamber was never apart of the plan. Luckily, Grace is given a chamber from Donloe’s wife. Ethan makes it down to the submarine and it’s not going great because it’s on the edge of a cliff and it keeps moving which is tough. He is able to get the source code, but he has to escape through a torpedo tunnel which is too tight, so he has to take off the suit and then take off the mask. He makes it to the top but he’s unconscious. Grace finds him and is able to cpr him back to life. She lays with him in the chamber until he wakes up. Grace tells Ethan that she thinks he should control the Entity. He says no one can be trusted with this much power. Now reunited with his team, they work on the next plan. Ethan outlines his plan to use the Poison Pill that Luther made before he died that is now in the hands of Gabriel. They would then upload and isolate the Entity on a physical drive, trapping it from the outside world. Ethan suspects Gabriel is already waiting at the South African bunker with the Poison Pill, aiming to seize control of the Entity by forcing Ethan to surrender the module. But that’s what Ethan is banking on. The president is running out of time and her team is trying to convince her to use their nucular bombs before it’s too late. Ethan prepares to enter the tunnel, expecting Gabriel to be there and fully ready to let Gabriel kill him for the sake of the plan. Gabriel is indeed there and reveals another nuclear device with a twenty-minute countdown, demanding the module. Ethan agrees, but the handover is interrupted by Kittridge & Briggs who wants the U.S. to control the Entity. The bomb is activated when they show up which is unfortunate. Ethan explains they need to give the module to Gabriel. A gunfight transpires with Gabriel’s team and he is able to flee and Benji is shot but Ethan doesn’t know it. Ethan gets to a vehicle to chase Gabriel but it crashes so he has to run to catch up. He’s late but he is able to grab onto a trailing plane which catches up to Gabriel’s plane. He jumps off his and onto Gabriel’s. Paris performs emergency surgery on Benji as he guides Grace to reboot the bunker systems to trap the Entity while Donloe works to disarm the bomb. Right as the president is about to press the button to make the attack, she decides to rather take our weapons offline but she’s too late. The Entity takes control. Ethan finds a second parachute, escapes with the Poison Pill, and unites it with the module, allowing Grace to finish the upload. Kittridge and CIA agent Jasper Briggs find Ethan; Kittridge is frustrated when Ethan hands over the destroyed module of the Sevastopol while Briggs — who is revealed to be James Phelps Jr., the son of Ethan's original team leader Jim Phelps — makes peace with him. The IMF team reunites in London, where Grace gives Ethan the Entity, now safely isolated on the drive, and the team goes their separate ways.
