Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025) Movie Script

1
CGV.
Hi everyone. Thank you for coming to
Mission Impossible, a final reckoning.
Every mission has led to this.
There are so many people are in
comparable director Christopher Macquarie,
my producing partner are
fantastic and extraordinary.
Cast and crew all worked very,
very hard to bring you the most authentic
cinema experience that we could.
So we are all so happy that you are
here in this theatre to watch the
biggest mission yet on the big screen
the way it was meant to be seen.
So please enjoy the show as
we've made a few thank you.
We live and dime.
In the shadows for those we
hope close and for those we
never meet the end.
You always fear. It's the antico.
This empathy as multiple
personalities has mind all for us.
Self-learning, truth
eating, digital parasite,
confessing on as such name
is everywhere in nowhere and.
Has no sin. You shouldn't be listening,
reading what is personal
secrets for years. The.
Guy of blackmail, Ryan, or be anyone.
Even that is not me. You're talking
to the entity who controls the.
Entity, controls.
The trust, so secure data
centres are breached and corrupt.
The entity will know precisely how
undermine our every strength allies and
exploit by every weakness
our enemies into.
Aggressors force a destructive power
which is lay waste to everything.
The world is.
Changing, truth is
vanishing, war is coming.
Good evening Ethan.
This is your precedent.
Since you won't reply to anyone else,
I thought I'd reach out directly.
First,
I want to thank you for a lifetime
of devoted and unrelenting
service.
Were it not for the tireless
dedication of you and your team,
the earth would be a very different
place. It might not even be here.
All, every risk you've taken,
every comrade you've lost in the field,
every personal sacrifice you made
has brought this world another sunrise.
It's been 35 years since
circumstances brought you to us
and you were given the choice
since the IMF saved you
from a life in prison.
And though you never bothered orders,
you never let us down.
You were always the best of men.
In the worst of times
I need you to be that man. Now
in the months since you
evaded capture in Austria,
every corner of cyberspace has
been infested by the truth.
Eating parasitic AI known
to us as the entity under
its influence, digital information
has been corrupted worldwide.
Nations and people no longer
know what to believe. Antagonism,
aggression,
and martial law are the new world
order exploiting this paranoid
atmosphere.
The entity has inspired a doomsday cult
with acolytes devoted to reding the
world of corruption through human
extinction. And he said unto know,
I've been bring a flood upon
the earth to destroy all flesh.
The children of the art of shall race
from the action and the entity will help
them rebuild.
These fanatics are secretly infiltrating
every level of law enforcement,
government,
and our military devoted to serving
their digital master's ultimate goal.
Our only hope of controlling the entity
relies on finding its original source
code. If anyone knows the whereabouts
of this code, it's this man,
his identity, his past,
his very existence have been
erased suggesting he is or was
in league with the entity.
Austrian authorities have his accomplice
in custody but she has refused to tell
us anything which brings us back to you.
You are in possession of a key
believed to be a vital component in our
struggle to acquire
the entity source code.
Yet you refuse to come in hearing
any government will weaponize this
malicious AI against the
rest of the world. Instead,
you've resolved to kill the entity,
A reckless act that would trigger
the total annihilation of cyberspace.
This would eradicate the global economy,
plunging the world into
war and famine without end
agent hunt. Ethan,
please surrender or the blood
of the world will be on your
hands.
This message will
self-destruct In five seconds,
come home Ethan and bring us that key.
Hey Ethan. Hey loser.
Sorry about the decor.
The Ritz was booked. Sour. Oh
some drapes. Throw pillows.
Yeah, mini.
Bomb.
It is always good to see you
on the right side of the grass.
I'm worried.
You're working too hard.
Don't worry about old Luther.
So what did you manage to find out?
A lot we're in that bargain.
So what's the play? First we have.
To fight Gabriel. How do we find him?
You'll be spare our life, life.
Wait, wait, wait,
Wait, wait, wait, wait,
wait. You call that in.
It's the end of the world as simple
as that. God guys, clock is running.
You take us in.
There won't be anyone on earth who can
stop it as a part of you that knows that
I can see it for God's sake.
Just trust it on just it's okay.
It's okay. Thank God. It's okay.
It's so nations on this one.
It's no rival ideologies. No,
it's who keeps the head and who panics.
The entity wants you scared and wants
us all scared and wants us divided.
It wants you to turn us in. Don't do it.
He's going to be okay.
Please pick up please.
We are friends.
You shouldn't be in there with that
backup gie please. We got this.
This is a terrible idea.
Just relax. Isn't this.
Place is crawling with clandestine
surfaces? You should get out of.
There. I see it. It's
okay. Stay calm. Veggie.
I don't think Gabriel would risk
coming to that party. Abort.
Let's just hold a nerve. He's
here. He's got to be here.
Ethan, for god's sake. Abort,
figure this out. I'm crawling yet.
Stay where you are the wolf.
Are you sure it's really me?
Repeat They can't hear you.
I didn't even see you
get that one. What's up?
It's a good people
pocket from a great one.
Gentlemen.
That's a personal,
you.
Know I like the longer hair.
I really appreciate you coming
but you shouldn't be here.
I didn't have much choice but
you expect me to betray him.
I expect you to save him from
himself and the world from him.
Get
you just bought yourself
a world of trouble Chris.
The whole world's in trouble. Ethan,
you are the only one I trust to save it.
So what's the play?
Grace
Gabe lost. Get a job for your Aunt
Ethan. Wake up.
Okay, what do we do?
Tell me you have a plan.
I.
They took my watch. Your.
Watch?
Yeah and my cuff links had
lock picks in them. I see.
We'll find a way out. Okay, now listen.
It's too late.
It's coming guys, look at me. Look at me.
You're going to get through this.
Get through What?
Just keep telling yourself it's only pain.
Stop.
Don't touch her.
You can't hurt him.
Not that way. Take you back to Shanghai.
What was her name?
Julia.
A former Mrs. Hunt did
even fail to mention her.
A fellow named Davian took
her and ransom her for
something only.
Ethan could get.
Davian called it the rabbit's foot but.
Had another name.
The anti gut.
I never told you what was
in that canister did they?
But you always wondered stealing the
rabbit's foot was just one event in
a lifelong pattern repeating
itself over and over for
every life he's tried to save has
gambled millions more doubling
down and down again.
And now the fate of every
living soul on earth is his
responsibility. You must be exhausted.
Where's the key? Let it
go. Devil will discuss it.
We don't have the time.
Someone you hold close.
Will die tonight for the sake
of those you'll never meet
unless you do. Exactly as I say.
He also said the key would
be his on the train. Remember
you have one job. Get on
the train, get the key,
get off the train. How did
your master take the news?
And it found out you blew it.
You failed and now the entity is.
Forsaken you.
Your team's been compromised.
Ethan, I know what Luther's doing.
I know what your plan and resist
me and I'll make you pay dearly
if you cooperate.
I can now exchange for what you're
searching for. A Russian submarine.
Vanished on its main voyage.
The K 5 59 Sebastopol a
state-of-the-art submarine completely
undetectable to any known sonar.
The secret to its invisibility
was that the part Culver,
a counter acoustic algorithmic drive
located in the Sebastopol Sonos sphere.
Now in the winter of 2012,
the Russians discovered a computer virus
of unknown origin spreading through
their black sea fleet a.
Digital covert operative.
We suspect this mystery virus was
only intended to sabotage the pod covo
rendering the submarine
detectable. Instead,
it tricked the crew
into sinking themselves.
Get it or not responding.
It's coming right at us.
Four.
If we're right, the one thing
we need to kill the entity.
It's original source code
is buried in this sonar
sphere.
Somewhere deep at the bottom of the ocean,
frozen in time where even
the entity can't reach it.
Now the pod covers housing
was designed to self-destruct.
If tampered with the only way to
safely open it is with a specially
designed cruciform key.
The two halves of which were
held by the Pols captain and exo,
they were pulled from the drifting peka.
In the spring of 2012. By init fishermen,
a man of your skills.
Ma has all he needs to pinpoint
that suck down to the square yard.
You think I'm going to get the
source code and bring it to you?
I don't think I know
I'm going to let you go.
Then you're going to find the entity
source code and bring it to me in exchange
for grace. Then I'll take
control of the energy.
The proverbial genie you let out the
rabbit's foot, the antico.
It wasn't a.
Biological or a chemical
weapon you took from Shanghai.
The traded for Julia
contained malicious code,
the primordial digital
ze from which a weapon.
Evolved a weapon.
The east couldn't make work a weapon
the west might never have made on their
own. You didn't know you
were stealing The Levi did.
I knew why I was stealing
it. It kidnapped my wife.
Stealing the rabbits was the
only way I could get back.
I sang that separated as
much as the entity did.
Without you Ethan,
there'd be no entity and if you
don't find that sub in the next few
days is the end of the world
as we know it and it'll all be
his fault. He knows that.
Look.
At me. Tell me I'm wrong.
False tooth. Sign that. Careful.
I bite down him on this.
I'm dead in 60 seconds.
He'll never see that short coat.
Don't touch 'em. Spit it up.
Release her first. You won't
do it. I got nothing to lose.
Grace does and with you dead
who's going to save her?
Spit it on. Remember was great.
Come on. Wait, wait.
Charging.
Charging.
Hey.
I need him a lot.
You okay? Gabriel's getting away.
Grace,
you don't think that I
would've let them Grace?
I would never let anything
happen to you. Nothing serious.
I think we're going to have
to kill you. Yeah, yeah.
Hey you did great by the way.
I got him.
We talked about this.
Ethan wants him alive.
Be the.
Ethan.
Yes. Civic. Second.
You are not seriously coming.
All right. I am here
now. What do you want?
Good evening, Mr. Hunt.
You have questions.
The entity has answers.
But you have to let it in.
You know this place.
Pain. If you resist.
Again.
You know this place
said doomsday fucked South Africa.
You will meet the entity there.
You will let it in and the fate
of every living thing will be
decided in the blink of an eye.
This is your calling on this today.
I don't accept that.
In here. You have no secrets.
The K 5 59 Sebastopol the part cova.
Crucible by magus.
The algorithm on that drive when peered
with the entity source code will act
as the poison bill you asked for.
You plan to.
Retrieve the mark Cova from
the ible and destroy the
and that scar, the entity's
infinite possibility.
You will go to the
it is written, never the
head is coming. Ethan,
you have always known this. The
entity offers hope for the future.
The.
Few who survive will be stronger.
The children of shall from will the
if you let.
It in. If I don't,
would that destroy the world
and you just destroy yourself.
The choice is yours,
the entity's future or your future at all.
Let the world be enslaved.
I let the world be destroyed
now you are the chosen
one. Gabriel is outcast.
He has taken steps to be in
control of the entity as you'll
see, resist me and I'll
make you pay dearly.
Someone you hold close will die tonight.
You know what humanity must
do to change their destiny?
They cannot stop the inevitable.
They will destroy themselves
believing they have
in four days. They.
Real.
It goes well and somebody to
write on You take the team,
you'll take them north. Where? What's
the problem? It's the festival.
I have to get caught. That's the only
way I could get there. PHF receiver,
decompression chamber steal a
plane. No old plane, no transplant.
No GPS. Everything is available. DC three,
everything you need is right in
there. Remember to transmit the court.
It's every two hours, 15 minutes from the
someone I can. You're team leader now.
I bitch take care of everything
you steal guys. What? I just
please, whatever you do,
you don't matter what
Stay off. Yes. Okay, okay.
Yeah, go.
Where are you going?
I will be waiting for her.
Hey. Hey Ethan. How'd it go with Gabriel
Went Well you don't say so.
Whose blood is that Now we know
that what I think it is
nothing special plutonium core.
I'm guessing a five or six megaton
yield enough to turn this entire city
into a glass ashtray. That's not good.
Already tried. Can't open it.
I see that Gabriel has a poison
pill. You might want to find him.
We will. Can you disarm that?
I just have to stop these nine detonators
from imploding the court attached one
detonator, no implosion man. No implosion.
No critical mass and no critical mass,
no six megaton blast. How
much time we you have.
Of time for you to get out of
here? Maybe with those tools.
I get these hinges off. Even if
you could get that gate open.
I still have to detach one detonator.
What are you saying? I can save the city
but this entire network of
tunnels is going to cave in.
Whoever detaches that detonator.
Is going to die. We're both
on the right side of that gate
and you know him Luther sent me
had too bad they weren't left here
by accident. Ethan, you know why.
Gabrielle needs me alive?
He needs you to die because you are the
only one who can make another poison
pill and I am the only one who
can get to that submarine tell you
I'll be waiting for him. He has poison
pill. I have to bring him the fuck over
so he can control.
The entity.
This is where you leave me.
Okay? What are we going
to do? We're tired.
Go fishing. This is my mission.
This is what I was born to do. I can't.
I can't. There's nothing you
need to say brother. I know,
I know I'm right where I want to be.
He said you need to hurry.
You go find Gabriel.
Stop him
for those we never meet
Gabriel.
I to God. Yes he did.
Alive Frank isn't it?
But that is in your real name. One of
your real name is Jim
Phelps, like your father.
He was in the surface too. You
vanished when you were seven.
You joined to find out what happened
to him and you found out he had legal
trouble. He was offered the choice
to join the IMF.
I spent the rest of his life
in prison just like you. Huh?
Only in your case
George's murder I believe.
But let me guess,
you were frame just like you claimed
you were framed all those years ago
in Prague, how the mission went sideways,
how you lost.
Your whole team. Your story had
my father down as a traitor.
That's why you killed him.
It is true. I wish your mother,
you think I'm carrying that
but I'm here for revenge
or what? Clear my father's name.
It's my name now. Now
I'm here.
Because I know you're the reason the world
staring down the barrel at Armageddon
and I also know it's not the first time
you gamble with the fate of a human race
and none of that would matter to me.
If you'd ever once been following orders,
drop Tim
and wants you to hate.
Me.
It's counting on it and the only way to
beat it's to do the one thing you would
never expect us to do. What's that?
You forget. I know you hunt.
I know all your IMF mind
games when this is over.
When they're done with you, you and me
will without ever make,
it's a shame about your friend and again
he used to.
While you've been out conducting
your own personal field operation,
the entity has infiltrated the nuclear
command Centres of India, Israel,
Pakistan and North Korea.
Today at oh 400 hour Zulu time,
Francis Ramsey's facility was breached.
Their entire nuclear arsenal is
now under the entities command and
control that leaves only four.
Nations with secure nuclear
arsenals, uk, China,
Russia and us.
Everything you are,
everything you've done has come to this.
The CIA black.
Fault break in.
I'm sorry, what is a knock list?
A complete record of our
covert operatives overseas.
So this is the man who broke into our
own black fault and stole the list of our
own spies. Yes,
he did return the list.
It's on the next page.
Am I reading this correctly?
The Kremlin bombing.
In fairness, the bomb was
actually meant to kill him.
He gassed a security briefing
at the National Intelligence
Directorate. That was just two months ago.
You two would've been in that meeting.
He arrived in the form
of Mr. Ridge's aid and.
Left as Mr. Kittridge.
I believe this explains the handcuffs.
It's still not clear why
he is here. Like it or not.
What we're looking at is
our means of last resort.
Quite possibly our only hope of p
referring nuclear Armageddon. If we want.
To control the entity,
we have to deal with him
should he choose to accept.
Agent talked Adam. President,
I'm sorry for your loss.
Please sit.
Let's hear it. I need that
key and the use of a ship,
specifically an aircraft carrier.
More specifically the George HW Bush.
He wants the use of a six
and a half billion dollar
nuclear powered military asset.
With instructions for the ship's
commander to accommodate my every request.
To do what? Exactly.
Use that key and what it opens to kill the
entity. Killing the entity means
the annihilation of cyberspace.
The consequences of which are
catastrophic. Why the hell would.
I do what you suggest?
Respectfully, Madam President,
you have no other choice. There.
Is always another choice.
No ma'am in this case, not a good one.
The world's nuclear powers were paranoid.
Downward spiral. Every nation had a
chance to take their missiles offline.
No one trusted anyone else to do that.
Your state department is warning you that
diplomatic channels are breaking down.
Everyone who still has control of their
arsenals is considering a first strike
just like you are. The intelligence.
Community knows that the entity is
learning as it goes. It's getting smarter,
it's getting stronger.
They know that we have only
72 hours before every other
nuclear arsenal on earth
is under the entity's control.
Three days before it focuses the full
force of its energy on the toughest most
secure defence system on the planet ours.
At which point the defence department
will have no choice but to insist that you
open that case,
enter the codes and launch an all out
preemptive strike on the world's eight
other nuclear arsenals before
the entity takes control of ours.
That a president either you destroy the
world or the entity does. In any case,
it is checkmate.
There is another choice.
You could tell me what you know about
that key and give us the power to control
the entity and a president. If I believe
that were true, I would tell you.
Everything I know
everything you ran the CIA,
you know psychological warfare
When you see it, just look around.
We are in the entity's
reality and I believe it's.
Counting on you to stop me.
If what you're saying is true,
how can you be sure the entity doesn't
want us to do exactly what you're
proposing right now?
Because it knows you would never do
anything so illogical that you would.
Be insane to trust me and that's
precisely why you should. For once,
let's let the entity worry.
About what we're going to do. I'm
worried about those three other nations,
Madam President, still in control.
Of their arsenals nations who could
panic and launch a full scale attack
while he's out there with
an aircraft carrier doing.
God.
Knows what.
While he's out there
trying to kill the entity,
which we all know is a terrible idea.
Mayor, president, please.
I'm asking for three days.
Will you keep the world calm? Three days.
Have I ever.
Let you that before?
And when the entity decides
to attack before then.
It has enough missiles to kill
billions already. Why hasn't it done?
Because it's a machine.
It's thinking like machine.
Thinking. Thinking is thinking is
dictated by what it's learned from us.
It hasn't launched because it
doesn't have total control.
It needs the world's entire atomic
arsenal to guarantee the desired outcome.
A total annihilation of
humankind and a president,
it is going to wait.
Northwood nuclear operations and targeting
centre in London has been breached.
The United Kingdom has lost
control of its arsenal.
I will ask you one last
time, what does this unlock?
Erica, I need you to trust me
one last time.
Trust me when I tell you when
that clock runs out in 72
hours I'll press that button and that will
your responsibility at
a president Sergeants
lock him up.
The president
when?
Good luck.
I left you a message on
there for when this is over.
You can tell me yourself.
After
they made us take an oath
when they gave us the choice,
we live.
And die in the shadows
for those we hope close
and for those.
We never, I know what's on your mind.
You did the right thing
when you kept the key.
You've always been on the
right side. Brother, always
never forget our lives
are not defined by any one
action.
Our lives are the sum of our choices.
I have no regrets. Neither should you.
Did Erica, did the president tell
you the meaning behind this note?
No ma'am.
Serbia May 22nd, 1996 We both lost some.
We loved very much all because no
one in authority would take a risk.
I'm sitting on a powdered cab.
Mr. Just over that horizon is
Russia's only aircraft carrier at the
Admiral Kuznetsov.
I am one wrong move away from the first
shootout between two flat tops since
World War ii. One flinch from
touching off World War iii
and you're asking me to fly you
directly into the eye of the storm.
Yes ma'am, I am.
What exactly are you looking for?
Sous short for sound surveillance system.
It's a worldwide network of undersea
acoustic cables dating back to the Cold
War. If an undersea event
of any significance happens
anywhere in the world,
one of these listening stations will
pinpoint that event to the square metre.
One of the So stations will have
recorded our missing Russian.
Submarines impact.
Undersea floor in the
winter of 2012 without ever
understanding the significance
of the event.
Whereas the Russians know
when this festival vanished.
They're just not exactly sure where van.
Which one Out of all these so
stations picked up the event.
We know the bodies of the
Sebastopol crew were covered in sea.
Ice.
And.
Since they were covered by Inuit fishermen
we're guessing it went down somewhere
in the optic.
A search area of roughly five
and a half million square miles,
meaning the most likely so station
to pick it up is this one in the
bearing sea. St. Matthew Island. The.
Russians will know this. Why haven't
they just stormed the island already?
Because St. Matthew is a
US government installation.
An overt act of aggression would
trigger World War iii. But.
Now.
Armageddon is coming. Billy Sno Battle.
Dear friends know they're
walking into a potential siege.
And this is the job.
So.
To retrieve the entity
source code from Sebastopol,
Ethan needs the precise
coordinates from St.
Matthew Island and a submarine obviously
one that's willing to take you where.
You want to go, no questions asked
and that's assuming your friends
can actually get the coordinates.
Which we're expected to transmit
for 15 minutes every two hours.
In the hope that Ethan is somehow
able to receive our signal.
How do you intend to make it out from.
Under the ice cap?
After sending me the coordinates,
my team will make it with him.
Ethan will have a VHF transmitter which
will enable us to zero in on his exact
location under the ice. What we have
to do then is grab a chainsaw and.
What? Cut a hole in the ice
cap and just pull Ethan out.
Hang on. Depending on
how deep that wreck is,
Ethan will have severe decompression
sickness before he reaches the surface.
Which is why we have this.
What the hell is that?
This is a state-of-the-art inflatable
hyperbaric decompression chamber.
You're not serious.
What.
You mean to tell me that Ethan's life
and the fate of all life on earth
depends on us all meeting at the
exact same place at the exact
same time.
Somewhere in the frozen bearing sea with
that.
Exactly.
And what if he drowns
before we get there? In.
All likelihood he will.
But in water that cold the hypothermia
will slow down his metabolic functions
and by his time to revive him.
That.
Your plan Exactly. That's our plan.
The only submarine in range
is the Ohio Check Bledso boat.
Once submerged his ritual only by
via F radio shielded from any digital
transmission.
That means he's immune to this
same but only if he stays emerge
And Asprey can get you there in two hours
but he won't have enough fuel weight.
There's no other choice. If
Bledsoe receives my command,
if he believes it to be authentic,
he might come to Periscope depth.
He might wait 30 seconds.
If you are even one minute
late, just give me this.
You let hunt go. That's
what I said with the key.
Well he couldn't do much
without it. So where is he now?
Somewhere in the Northern
Pacific. I assume.
You gave him an aircraft carrier.
I'm the commander in chief of
the armed forces. Mr. Secretary,
it is my aircraft carrier
and I do with it as I please.
You knew this would happen. I suspected
you could have at least told us.
I just did and now you're excused.
Madam precedent.
That would be all
I couldn't tell you.
It had to be my responsibility and
mine alone and I had to buy hunt time.
Someone could have tried to stop
it. I may not agree with you,
but they do respect your authority.
Before this is over, someone will panic.
Someone will try to stop me.
Another field trip. You
know where he is at.
Know where he's going to end up.
That's surprising.
Now remember, governments were killed to
know what we know about the SEPA bolt.
This is a CIA station run by season.
Field agents trained to get
information and never ever given
tell them nothing about our real
mission. Just let me do the talking.
You.
Hello. Can I help you?
I certainly hope so.
Yes. We're looking for the Sosus
listening station. You found it.
Friend. I'm a station chief.
Bill Dono, my wife Tapa.
Hello, how do you do?
Well nice to meet you Bill. We are
researchers from the British seismology.
I'm sorry.
Did you say Dono? That's
right. Bill William Dono,
Langley Dono.
Black.
Vault.
Dono at the same. And
you are, I don't believe
this guy is a coding legend. He
designed the CIA mainframe at Langley.
The black vault. It's the most
secure database on the planet.
It's completely impenetrable.
Well if it were impenetrable
I wouldn't be here.
The vault was breached in 96 and the
agency shipped me out the same day.
Been here ever since.
So you mean to say you've
been on this island for.
30 Years. Just out of curiosity,
how do you know about the black
vault that's highly classified?
Sorry, who did you say you.
Were? Just tell the man why we're here.
Mr. Dono. Bill. Even if we could tell
you the truth, you wouldn't believe it.
I wouldn't. Great.
The heart of the matter is that we need
access to all your SOS data from late
winter 2012. Otherwise the world
will cease to exist in a few days.
It's happening isn't it The entity.
I tried to warn people about it
for years but no one would listen.
Can you help us?
I wish I could.
Please come in. Make yourself comfortable.
Sir. Wake up. Wake up
sir. We got problems.
Real problems. What's happening?
It's the Admiral K side.
We got to get out of here. We're in
our face zone man. Signing of the Ohio.
No sir. And we're at Bangkok.
If I don't turn around soon,
we want to fuel to get us back to
the boat. Anything on the radio?
Nothing but static on VHF. Your
friends are broadcasting a signal.
We can't hear it. Take us into a hover.
Sir, we are at bingo. Five minutes.
Just give me five minutes please.
We can.
Give you one.
What are we doing in a hover? We
got a bug out. Well he's up two
showing up there missiles man.
That's the only warning we're going
to get Russian an aircraft here.
We got to go. International
airspace challenge.
Where are you Ethan?
You must be Captain Bledso and
you must be out of your mind.
What exactly was the plan if
we hadn't shown up? You know.
I really hadn't thought that far ahead.
Okay.
No
rear admir Neely. Send her regards.
She told me to expect a green flare.
She never mentioned the taser.
Mind telling me what this is all.
About. I missed you. It's classified.
I need you to take me north.
Continue.
I'm expecting a set of exact coordinates
via Morse code transmission and just
how exactly do you expect
to receive them down here?
You have to come to Paris code
depth, raise the antenna signal.
Scan the low end of the VHF
band For how long? 15 minutes.
That would give the Russians 15
minutes to pinpoint our location.
Starting at noon.
Every two hours after that
until my team sends me those
coordinates.
North is the bearing sea Mr. Right now
every submarine in the Russian Pacific
fleet is up there.
My primary mission is to lock down their
positions and ascertain what they're up
to. I'm thinking you know the answer.
What is that? That's St. Matthew Island.
It's nothing there but an old
Sosus listening station. No,
that right next to it. What is that?
That's the little shark.
You know what that is?
It's a sub Russian special
forces Get yourself a gold star.
Mr. Ariel recon spotted it off St.
Matthew Island just over an hour ago.
It's deployed from this,
the Belgar rod deadliest
submarine in the Russian Navy.
My secondary mission is to locate
that bastard and hold it at risk.
The lash means it's somewhere close by.
You have people on that island. That's
where your coordinates are coming from.
Will you help me Mr.
If you want to poke the bear.
Oh you've come to the right man.
Like to speak with your dive master sir.
Chief? Yes sir.
Have pills made our guests in the
four con quarters this way? Sir.
As I've explained to our friends
here, I don't have the data they want.
The agency ignored my request to
upgrade our system for a decade.
One day a team shows up unannounced and
refixed the entire system in a matter of
days.
I'm guessing this is the winter of 2012.
Right?
And the old system ran on magnetic
tapes backed up to eight inch floppies.
These were in the dog shed outback.
Now these boxes might contain the.
Coordinates you're all looking for
but I don't have a reader that was
also taken away in 2012.
You expect him to build one? I.
Came for coordinates not boxes.
Supposing you find the coordinates.
What happens to my team? We'll take the
coordinates to my superiors, my man.
Wait here when we have located
what we're looking for,
my man will leave and he will not be harm.
Would you believe that if
you were me? No I would not.
You have one hour to build a drive.
What's your name?
Ov.
Your first name.
Captain.
Ov I'm Grace. That's Benji. Could we
just for five minutes be human beings?
Not Russians, not Americans. Just people
that want to see our loved ones Again.
I have no one, not even a dog.
Well you certainly don't have this key.
A cruciform key that grants the
holder access the pod cova. Even.
If you have the coordinates,
you still can't safely retrieve the
entity source code without our help.
You have.
Another key, don't you?
You've had one all along but you
don't have are the coordinates.
And when you build a
drive we will have that.
Okay, let's try something else.
What if I told you that we have a friend's
been disavowed by his own government
because he refused to hand over this key?
Our friend is out there
right now independent from
any chain of command waiting
for us to transmit those coordinates.
And he will stop at nothing to safely
retrieve the pod kova and use the source
code stored on it to destroy the entity.
And not for the sake of
any one nation but for all.
Don't you see the entity is counting
on us to distrust each other.
Please let us complete our mission.
We are not enemies.
Would you believe that.
If you were me?
No. I suppose I wouldn't.
You have one hour.
This is the mark seven pressure
suit specifically designed to reduce
decompression time after
diving profound deaths.
It does this by means of an exotic
mixture of oxygen and inert gases.
You'll need to do an extended breathe
up for your body to handle it.
Exactly What kind of gases are we
talking about? That's classified.
Assuming you're on task
for 20 minutes or less,
your time and decompression will
be cut down from days to hours
Theoretically.
Theoretically we haven't tested
the mark seven below 300 feet.
To conserve error. You'll
need to make a fast descent,
which means guaranteed HPNS,
high pressure nervous syndrome.
You should expect tremors,
shakes, dizziness,
disorientation and mental
confusion and all of it under
extreme pressure. Even if the
mark seven works is designed,
you still won't have enough
mixture for a slow ascent.
That means you're
guaranteed to get the Bens.
Nitrogen in your muscle tissue
expands into your bloodstream,
excruciating pain, convulsions,
sleep loss and muscle control.
You'll have maybe 20 minutes to
get to the decompression chamber.
What that.
It without the decompression cheaper.
You're dead man.
Another VHF scan came and went.
If your friends are broadcasting,
we still haven't picked it up.
Come on, come on, come
on, come on, come on.
That's the sled dogs out in the
bar. It's coming up to dinnertime.
A millennial little secret friend.
There are no coordinates
on any of these discs that
refit.
14 years ago it had all
this stench of a cover up
and the top man talked down to the pizza.
I did not like that.
I never told them about these backups
and when they left I went through every
one of them myself. A
lone event stood out,
A massive undersea implosion about
a month before they arrived to take
everything away naturally I didn't
understand the significance but I
noted the coordinates and then
I destroyed the only disc.
But you see, you know
where so fast ball is
that the square metre.
Dinner.
Time?
Can my wife please tend to the dogs?
I can't concentrate with this racket.
She's going to need some help.
I'll go. I could use the air.
Sonya provided your shirt.
Five minutes to the next broadcast
window will be under the ice cap soon and
lose all calms. This
will be our last chance
Chief of the watch Raise
number one comms at.
Wait, wait, wait.
What is this? What is
this? You won't stop.
Hello? Get to the radio.
Radio. VHF Morse code
incoming radio on speaker.
Hagar. He spent too much
time on the internet
Go.
The coordinates you wanted. I'm
afraid you're on the wrong boat.
That's 2000 miles off the cape of Good
hope on the other side of the world.
Damn near exactly.
It.
Exactly the opposite. In case.
The Russians were listening. Very clever
officer the deck set a new course. 3 4 0.
Right, 15 degrees rudder
steady on course 3 4 0. Hi sir.
My rudder is R 15 Officer of the deck.

If the watch station the fire

Silent the ice icer. Well that's
when mission accomplished.
We found the bell road.
It's right on our ass.
Wherever your mission is taking you
now you're taking the Russians there.
And they're never going to
know my destination. One
reached recess. Coordinate.
I'd like you to slu Ted knots.
Turn this boat around and take
the Russians back the way we came.
What happens to your mission
then? I be getting off the turn.
I start I without our decompression
chamber you'll die for sure.
Sir, your decompression chamber
was never part of our plan.
Okay,
what exactly is your plan?
Okay.
Me. No, no, no, no, no, no.
I can't. I doubt. I dunno.
Of course, of course.
Show me That's left
O
we board
and this we stop.
What's this for?
Hold.
There's your key.
Okay, power on, take a deep breath.
The Mark Seven's guidance system
will take you to your coordinates,
the depth that your location is
500 feet figure 19 minutes to your
target. 10 minutes on task. Remember.
Any longer than that in your chances
of survival. Decrease by the second.
And don't forget, you must exhale
continuously as you rise to the surface,
hold your breath and
your lungs will explode.
The VHF transmitter you ask for,
your team should be able to locate
you within a two mile radius.
Look after that, good luck.
Take care of my suit.
So sonar range to belgar rod.
Sir, I have near field
effect too close to tell.
Manoeuvring slow to 10 knots

Your mark Captain.
Mark the turn. Hi sir,
my rudder is rightful.
It's okay.
Where is it? Kova.
You did it Jason.
You didn't.
So what happens now?
Finally Gabriel, he can't Luther,
there's poison pill. We kill the.
Entity. Ethan, I've been thinking
how can we undo everything
the entity has done?
If we can control it,
maybe we can bring on
the earth from the brink.
Grace.
Who on earth would you ever
trust with that much power?
Will you? Of course only you.
I believe you were meant to do this.
Not.
Anyone.
Thank you
for bringing me back. Nothing to it.
We haven't been formally introduced.
I'm William Dono Langley.
We met 30 years ago almost
so you are him. I
understand how you my life.
I don't know how to make amends
for what I've done to yours.
That's a matter of perspective friend.
If you hadn't broken in the vault 30
years ago, I'd probably still be there.
I probably don't think I was happy.
I never would've found the only home
that's ever brought me peace and I
certainly never would've
met the woman I love.
There's nothing to be.
Sorry about.
I owe you my life.
We will be landing just
as the clock runs out.
By the time we arrive the entity will
have control of the world's nine automated
doomsday arsenals and it will be fueling
the missiles it controls but it can't
launch until it has a safe place
to hide. If it wants to survive,
the safest place is here.
What is that?
The.
Doomsday vault Congo Ya.
It's a top secret standalone solar
powered, tempest hardened level.
A exabyte data server.
1 Billion gigabytes of storage.
That's a lot of home movies. You're.
Not far off.
It contains all the accumulated knowledge
deemed worthy of preservation and it's
fully.
Shielded, totally impervious to
electromagnetic energy of any kind.
No transmissions and or ads.
An incorruptible arc of human history
built to survive the end of the world.
So if the entity got in there,
it could survive thousands of years no
matter what happened to the rest of the
world.
Why would he want to survive?
What does his standard gain.
From wiping out all life on earth?
A question Noah and his family must
have asked just before the flood.
The entity God thinks it's God always
right to the point aren't you?
This is the poison pill
containing Luther's algorithm and
this is the pod cova containing
the entity's original source code.
When combined they will form
a sort of digital toxin.
When uploaded to cyberspace,
this toxin will attack the entity and
alter its ability to perceive reality.
So combine that with a pot Culver,
we can deceive the Lord of lies.
May yet on May.
May we don't have Luther's poison pill.
Gabriel does.
Which is why we can be sure he'll be
waiting for us in the doom state vault.
Once the entity is infected
with Luther's algorithm,
it will think it's entering the
Junctions central data server.
When it will actually be going here.
What is it?
Careful. It's very delicate. It can't be.
It's a five D optical data
drive 360 terabytes in the
palm of your hand. I thought
these were just theoretical.
They were a W Luther Belt one.
If the entity is our genie,
then this optical drive is the
bottle we'll capture it in.
Which brings us to the
tricky part. Once inside,
once it believes that it's safe, the
entity will initiate a nuclear launch.
We have to disconnect this
drive before it can do that.
How long do we have.
Roughly hundred milliseconds
to blink of an eye.
If we do it too soon,
we won't trap the genie in the
bud and if we do it too late.
We won't prevent the
entity from launching.
Yeah, either way. If we pull
the drive at the wrong time,
the entity wins.
Burn shores. Hang on. If the doomsday
vault is electronically shielded,
how does the entity expect to get in?
It expects us to let it in.
Just like Gabriel expects me
to hand over the pod. Cova.
Neither. Which we'd ever do obviously.
Right? Think about it. The vault
is electronically shielded.
Those signals get in or out.
Someone has to go outside the
vault in order to upload Luther's
poison pill to the entity. And if
Gabriel wants to control the entity.
He has to upload Luther's poison pill.
You are not seriously going to give him
the pot cova and let him get away with
the pill. That's exactly
what I'm going to do.
Gabriel will be part of
the team and never know it.
That's insane. You're letting
the entity into the vault.
That's precisely what it wants
you to do. It is written.
Yes.
That's the only chance we have of beating
Gabriel and the entity when Johnson a
trillion.
Ethan, think about what you are
doing. Think about how you got here.
Think about how the world got here.
How do you know that the entity
didn't want you to recover the Poco?
Maybe it told you it was impossible
because it knew that was a thing that you
needed to hear. Is that
what you think Grace?
I think you are risking the fate
of the world and billions of lives
on the blink of an eye.
Yes grace I am.
And if there was another
choice, I'd take it.
I know you all have your
doubts, I don't blame you,
but we have to stick together and
we have to make sure that grace is
the one to disconnect that drive.
Me.
What separates a good pick
pocket from a green one?
Timing. Wait for.
Where is everybody?
They know what's coming.
Have all gone home.
You can't accurately predict how fast
the entity is moving now madam President
Hunt is gone. If he isn't
dead, the Russians have him.
If we lose control of our arsenal,
we lose any hope of preventing the entity
from launching. We are out of time.
General Sydney, what is our
most limited attack option?
Surgical nuclear strikes confined strictly
to the command centres of the eight
nations under the entity's control.
Beijing, Islamabad, London, Moscow,
new Delhi, Paris,
Pang and Tel Avva casualties.
Estimated death tolls from initial strikes
and more later of course from the.
Resulting nu nuclear fallout.
Estimates vary.
Very obviously the bombing of major
cities in eight different countries would
create an unprecedented political
crisis. One that would likely.
Lead to a protracted global war.
It may be diplomatically prudent to make
just.
The gesture sacrifice
one of our cities here at
home. We've prepared a list.
Cities have been arranged by
strategic and economic importance and
population. Of.
Course you'd be sacrificing
a hundred million lives
to save 7 billion.
This can't be happily madam President.
We are in the entity's
reality now and this is
Checkmate
gunner Sergeant, I need your side arm sir,
you hurt me son. Hand it over.
May servers through there a
Ben Grace. You come with me.
The rest of you, you just wait here. No,
it's the server room. It's too exposed.
You should go back to the others.
If Gabriel is in there, he'll kill you.
He has to leave here with a pill
and the bokova. I'm expendable.
Neither of you are is.
Right.
Final reckoning.
30 Megas on yield. Hi man,
let's go of that button and the is no
place to hide. And what happens to you?
I have a plane that'll take
me to minimum safe distance,
reliable analogue under the radar.
I even brought a sway just in case.
And you honestly believe destroying
this place will stop the entity from
launching.
I think it's bluffing alone in the world.
If it can't survive and it can't
survive, if you don't let it in,
I hand over the pot cova
and I'll let you walk away.
Why would I believe that?
Because I want you and
everyone you care about to live
long lives in the world. I create
And the edit answers to me,
you're beat Ethan. If not
today, some other place,
some other time.
As long as I have this
wherever I go you will follow
and the pod cover will come to me that is.
Written. Nothing is written.
I'm not sure Luther would agree.
Now tell me I win.
You.
Went. I like the sound
effect. Say it again.
Hands. See Dick in.
Have it.
Time.
18 Minutes.
I didn't know you.
Don Low.
William Don low. My wife Toa.
I got to hand it to you. Hunt.
This was one cracker jack.
Unit you put together.
I'm imagining the entity is shaking
in its virtual shorts right about now.
What do I.
Need to know about this and
what exactly was the play?
The only play is to give that
to him and let him go right now.
You want me to give this to him and let
him go right now? Right now, right now,
right now.
The president of the United States is
preparing to vaporise millions upon
millions of souls.
All because Ethan here doesn't believe
that anyone can safely control the
entity. Does that sound saying.
To anyone? Maybe you should
ask the crew of the SVEs.
Time. 17 minutes. Sir.
You wouldn't be here if
Ethan didn't have a plan.
Whomever tells me what that plan is
will be sparing millions of lives and
you'll be spared the fate of
the others. So we're running.
Out of time. We need to get to a.
Minimum safe distance. Why
are we still standing here?
Because he's here and
he's here and this means
something.
Any second Now Ethan's
going to tell me what it is.
I've known this man for a long time
and he won't want anything to happen to
his.
Precious team.
My and that's the pattern, isn't it?
You refuse to sacrifice
the ones you won't close.
That is why we're still here. It's over.
There's no shame. And now
just tell me what I'm missing.
Okay
Gabriel.
Gabriel, now.
Catch me if you can you go
after him and get the pill.
We'll get to the server
and let the entity it
Ethan, we'll figure it out. You are
for getting the bomb, the nuclear bomb.
We'll figure it out.
Ethan, come. You got this.
Definitely.
We'll figure it out.
Got to go breaks.
There has to be a way to disarm it.
Even if you can prevent
it from going nuclear,
there's still no way you can stop
those detonators from exploding. Could.
We survive the blast from server room?
Only if someone stays behind and
stops the bomb from going critical,
but whoever that is, they're
not going to make it.
We'll handle the bomb. The rest of
you can bend you to the server room.
There's no time to discuss it. Go.
Keep brushing. Keep
brushing. I've got it. I've.
Got it. I'll stay with them.
There's another for me to do
in the server room. Good luck.
Luck.
Why'd you learn to do
this? Ever said I did.
Did it come now This is
not good. What is it?
If I had to guess It's attention
pneumothorax. What does that mean?
Pressure building in the pleural cavity.
My lung is collapsing if we don't act
fast it means suffocation for cardiac
arrest. Do either of you
have any medical experience
you secret tree? I can
work with her. Grace,
I need you to hack the surface so
we can let the heads entity in.
Just grab the tools head
to the power Paris. Do.
Good one first I need
you to plug the bullet.
I'll make it airtight
beyond family. Remind I
am in. What do I do?
I need to define the power switch to
the service in internal network. Got it.
Paris.
Paris, Ali.
This is similar. Guys, did you plug
the switch? Yeah. Okay, shut it off.
What next? Open the pedal.
Push that into the incision.
Alright.
You see.
Oh my god. How's it going in there?
Oh, everything's under control here. Okay,
hold this very steady
but don't pull it out.
It is like I said, Ethan,
as long as I have the pill,
the kova will come to me.
Hang on. What is it? We
may have a way out of this.
These ground wires are triple redundant.
If we cut any three of them simultaneously
we could delay these detonators from
exploding maybe long enough for someone
to make it to the server room. Hello?
10 seconds. Maybe you think you
can make that door in 10 seconds.
One.
Way to find out. Hand me the rest. Kevin.
Go Now we're not out of the woods yet.
Any minute now my blood pressure's going
to drop drastically and I'm going to
grow faint. So we need to work fast.
There's a receiver in the tool back,
a silver box with two
lights on it. Got it.
We need to splice that into the service
solar panels and make an antenna that
way we'll know when Ethan's
uploading the poison power.
Yep.
Got it. Okay. Now this is the really
tricky part. There is a bundle of blue,
black and red cables in the lower right
corner. Alright, we'll be through it.
I'm going to need you to cut to
otherwise in a specific order.
Whatever you do do, no God.
Fiji, the red ones. Madam President.
As your secretary of defence,
I direct your attention to con
plan 8 0 4 4 selected attack
option 9.1,
A targeted nuclear strike on the
command centres of all eight nations now
controlled by the entity amended.
To include the American city.
You've chosen to sacrifice
the biscuit.
Have you spoken to your son?
What would I tell you?
Authentication code verified.
Come on Ethan.
Know when you're beat any minute
now your team will be dead and the
entity will have no place to hide.
I am going to run you into the ground.
The pot Culver will be mine and
the entity will answer to It's
only a matter of time. Grace.
We think we can prevent this bond from
going nuclear but all of these detonators
will explode.
How big a blast?
Big a blast. We talking.
Big.
Ethan eat all the time we can give him.
Do not make the last cut
until we absolutely have to.
Madam President Launch is now enabled.
What are you.
Doing? What we should have
done in the first place?
What are you a strategic command
centre to cut their power,
take our missiles offline entirely.
Shut everything down. Madam President,
that would leave the country completely.
Defenceless but deny the entity
access to the largest nuclear
arsenal on earth. Now.
Make the call. God ma'am,
we are the only nation on earth with
the power to attack the entity and now
we're the only nation in the
world with the power of choice.
Today I choose not to attack mad
a president. Think this through.
You are making a terrible
mistake the sake of the country.
Please listen to reason. That's
precisely what I'm doing.
Connect me with strategic command hq.
Millions of people will die. Ma'am,
if you don't push that button and
millions of other people will die.
If she does, what gives us the right
to decide who lives and who dies.
She took an oath as president
of the states have large.
None of that will matter.
Nothing will matter.
I'm inclined to agree with the
why. We stand here arguing.
The entity is preparing to attack. Ma'am,
you need used to live in the
entity's reality. Gentlemen, I don't.
Vote for the president. General ton's
office strategic command, general Overton.
This is the president calling from
up whether within orthodox command.
I need you to listen to my.
I'm fine.
Do you know.
The entity will be fueling its missiles
by now but it still needs a place to
hive before it launches. Talk to me Greg.
I've got it. It's done.
Receiver's connected.
Okay, here we go. We're going
to switch the power back on.
Receivers activated red light is
on there. Go. How are we doing?
Great. We're striking the last
detonator. We're ready to cut the fuses.
Four minutes on the clock.
Understood. Four minutes.
This the drive. Ready.
You're going to watch the lights
on the receiver when the red light,
ah wait, sorry. When the
red light turns green,
you'll know Ethan's connected the pill
to the po cova and the entity has been
infected with Luther's algorithm.
Okay then.
Then you're going to cut that
red wire and let the entity in.
All we need now is for
easy to get that pill.
Only one of us.
We are almost out on time. At 10 seconds,
I'm going to count
backwards from 3, 3, 2, 1,
cut and we run like hell for that door.
Remember when that drive light up,
you'll know the entities inside.
You have a hundred milliseconds.
This is a precedent.
He did it.
That's sort of a bitch with it.
Hello brother.
If you're listening to this,
the world is still here and so are you.
For the record, I never
had a moment of doubt.
I knew you'd find a way. You always do
open time.
You can see this life was
not some quirk of fate.
This was your calling your destiny
a destiny that touches every living thing
like you or not. We are
masters of our fate.
Nothing is written
in her cause. However,
righteous pales in to the impact
of our effect.
Any hope for a better future comes
from willing that future into
being a future reflecting
the measure of good within
ourselves. Fire control
and all that is good.
Inside us is measured by the good we
do for others.
We all share the same
fate, the same feature,
the sum of our infinite choices.
One such is built on kindness, trust, and
should we choose to accept it,
driving without question
towards a light we cannot see,
not just for those we hold close

I hope you know I'll

and I'll see you again.
The hope is not too soon,
the world still needs you.
Of course they'll never know,
but we do.
We who live and die in the shadows.
