Mission: Impossible1996

[Ethan meets Kittridge at a restaurant]

Eugene Kittridge:
I am...I can't tell you how sorry I am. I know how much Jim, in particular, meant to you, Ethan...personally as well as professionally.

Ethan Hunt:
Yeah.

Eugene Kittridge:
Here's a passport, visa. Usual drill. We'll work the exfiltration through Canada, debrief you at Langley. Throw the Prague police a bone or two. You know, toss them a few suspects....You follow me?

Ethan Hunt:
Yeah, I follow.

Eugene Kittridge:
I think we've lost enough agents for one night.

Ethan Hunt:
You mean, I've lost enough agents for one night.

Eugene Kittridge:
You seem hell-bent on blaming yourself, Ethan.

Ethan Hunt:
Who else is left?

Eugene Kittridge:
Yeah. I see your point.

Ethan Hunt:
Why was there another team?

Eugene Kittridge:
What?

Ethan Hunt:
Of IMF agents at the embassy tonight.

Eugene Kittridge:
I don't quite follow you.

Ethan Hunt:
....Well, see if you can follow me around the room. The drunk Russians on the embankment at 7:00 and 8:00...The couple waltzing around me at the embassy at 9:00 and 11:00...The waiter standing behind Hannah at the top of the stairs..Bow tie, 12:00...The other IMF team...You're worried about me. Why?

Eugene Kittridge:
Well, for a little over two years we've been spotting serious blowback in IMF operations. We have a penetration. The other day, we decoded a message on the internet from a Czech we know as Max.

Ethan Hunt:
The arms dealer.

Eugene Kittridge:
That's right...Max, it seems, has two unique gifts, a capacity for anonymity and for corrupting susceptible agents. This time, he'd gotten to someone on the inside. He'd gotten himself in a position to buy our NOC list. An operation he referred to as Job 314, The Job he thought Golitsyn was doing tonight.

Ethan Hunt:
But the list Golitsyn stole was a decoy.

Eugene Kittridge:
That's correct. The actual list is secure at Langley. Golitsyn was a lightning rod. He was one of ours.

Ethan Hunt:
This whole operation was a mole hunt....This whole operation was a mole hunt.

Eugene Kittridge:
Yeah....The mole's deep inside....and like you said.....You survived. I want to show you something, Ethan. Since your father's death your family's farm has been in receivership, and now, suddenly, they're flush with over $120,000 in the bank. Your father's illness was supposed to have wiped out that bank account. Dying slowly in America, after all, can be a very expensive proposition. So...why don't we quietly get out of here and onto a plane? I can understand you're very upset.

Ethan Hunt:
Kittridge, you've never seen me very upset.

Eugene Kittridge:
Alright, Hunt. Enough is enough. You have bribed, cajoled, and killed and you have done it using loyalties on the inside. You want to shake hands with the devil, that's fine with me. I just want to make sure that you do it in Hell.

[Ethan throws explosive gum on a large aquarium in the middle of the restaurant, causing an explosion of water and breaking the window allowing him to escape into the night]
