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 bu
