Mission: Impossible Page #5

INT. JET - DAY

PHELPS sits back in his seat, closes his eyes, and rubs his

tired brow. KITTRIDGE himself comes back on the tape.

KITTRIDGE (O.S.)

As always, should you or any member of

your IM force be caught or killed, the

Secretary will disavow all knowledge of

your actions. This tape will self-

destruct in five seconds. Good luck,

Jim!

PHELPS inhales deeply --

-- the tape in the armrest starts to smolder, sending up a

plume of wispy smoke --

-- and PHELPS exhales, concealing the plume in a cloud of

cigarette smoke.

CUT TO:

EXT. PRAGUE SAFE HOUSE - DAY

SARAH and HANNA, a German woman in her mid-thirties enter.

Another legend:

PRAGUE:

INT. SAFE HOUSE - PRAGUE - DAY

The IMF team's safe house is a sparsely furnished Prague

apartment with a panoramic view of the city.

The IMF team is scattered around the room. Sketches, pads,

overfilled ashtrays and equipment are strewn everywhere.

JACK and SARAH seated next to each other - JACK demonstrating

the VISCO glasses to her. CLAIRE is seated opposite JACK at

the computer. JIM and ETHAN are in the kitchen. HANNAH

taking a roll of black-out curtain through the room.

JACK:

Look to your right, then back to me.

There's a camera built right into the

bridge. Whatever you see it sees and

transmits it back here. Can you hear me?

SARAH:

Of course I can hear you.

JACK:

No, in your...ear piece. You have a

lovely smile (eyes). Can you hear me

now?

SARAH:

Loud and clear.

JACK:

What's going on?

SARAH:

I don't know.

JACK:

Why don't you take a look?

SARAH:

Jack...that's spying.

JACK:

That's what we do isn't it?

SARAH:

Jack you're so wicked.

JACK:

Too wicked to have a drink later?

SARAH:

I think I might just take that look.
