Mission: Impossible II Page #5

A series of Nyah's 'accomplishments', i.e., warrants, complaints,

Interpol summaries of her various criminal activities, as well as

glimpses of the elusive Nyah circulating about Seville.

SWANBECK'S VOICE (cont'd)

Her dossier's available on I-COM 3. You

have 48 hours to recruit Ms. Nordoff-Hall

and meet me in Seville to receive further

details. Should you or any member of your

IM force be caught or killed, the

Secretary will disavow all knowledge of

your actions.

Swanbeck's face reappears on screen:

SWANBECK'S VOICE (cont'd)

And Mr. Hunt - the next time you go on

vacation, please be good enough to let us

know where you're going. This message will

self-destruct in five seconds.

Ethan removes the glasses, then tosses them into space.

ETHAN:

If I let you know where I'm going -

The glasses explode in a puff of smoke.

ETHAN (cont'd)

- won't be on holiday.

Ethan, with a fair amount of disgust, gets to his feet and jumps

off the mountain, in, what for a moment looks like a suicidal

snit. Then, somewhere hundreds of feet below camera, there's a

little puff of color as the tulip-shaped chute pops out of his

back-pack. Begin the sound of a castanets and the animal-like cries

of flamenco dancers.

DISSOLVE TO:

EXT - ANDALUSIAN VILLA (EVE)

Bustling in the activity of a large private party, with arriving

guests and attentive valets, as a young woman, her face unseen,

exits her car and enters the villa.

A FLASH OF SKIRT AND LACE (INT-EXT. VILLA - FLAMENCO DANCERS - EVE)

where to the cries of dancers add graceful feminine hands

wielding the castanets. The dancers perform on a raised platform

and NYAH NORDOFF-HALL'S face can be glimpsed thru the swirling

skirts and pounding heels, looking thru, not at them.

REVERSE ANGLE - ETHAN

looking back in a similar way to Nyah; surreal lighting and the

relentless chorus of pounding heels seem to isolate them in the

crowed party. Nyah continues to look at Ethan over the shoulder

over her wanna-be escort, a very attentive gentleman. Nyah

offers up her empty glass, and the gentleman eagerly takes it to

the bar for a refill, leaving Nyah and Ethan looking at one

another. Ethan approaches her.
