Claire arrives at the safe house, explaining that she escaped the car bombing after Phelps aborted the mission. While IMF director Eugene Kittridge debriefs him, Hunt realizes that another IMF team is present watching him, and learns that the mission was a setup to lure out a mole within the IMF, who is believed to be working with an arms dealer known as “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 another agent before the mission.Īfter returning to the Prague safe house, Hunt realizes “Job 314” actually refers to Bible verse Job 3:14, “Job” being the mole’s code name.
However, the mission unexpectedly fails when the list is stolen, Phelps is apparently killed along with Golitsyn and the rest of the team in various incidents, leaving Ethan Hunt as the sole survivor. Jim Phelps and his latest Impossible Missions Force (IMF) team, who had just finished another mission in Kiev, are sent to Prague to stop rogue agent Alexander Golitsyn from stealing the CIA non-official cover (NOC) list.
