Mission: Impossible III Page #6

I can't believe. I can't even look at it.

- Benji. Did you recover anything?

- Yes. Yes.

Despite the aforementioned conditions

of the hard drive you brought back,

I managed to recover

portions of two dozen e-mail files.

Also made what I believe to be

a thoroughly

promotion-worthy breakthrough.

Your Mr. Davian is going

to arrive in Rome the day after tomorrow

and attend a function

at one Vatican City.

What the hell is Davian

doing at the Vatican?

It's all got to do with the "Rabbit's Foot."

Rabbit's Foot?

Yeah, well,

I'm assuming it's like a code word

for something he's about to sell

to an unspecified buyer,

for $850 million, by the way.

Or maybe it's not a code word.

Maybe it's just a really,

really expensive bunny appendage.

You have no idea what it is?

It's interesting. I used to have

this professor at Oxford, okay?

Dr. Wickham, his name was,

and he was like this massive, fat guy.

You know, huge, big guy.

We used to call him...

You know... Well, I won't tell you

what we used to call him.

He taught biomolecular kinetics

and cellular dynamics,

and he used to sort of

scare the underclassmen

with this story about how the world

would eventually be eviscerated

by technology.

You see, it was inevitable

that a compound would be created,

which he referred to as the "Anti-God."

It was like an accelerated mutator,

a sort of, you know,

like an unstoppable force

of destructive power

that would just lay waste to everything.

To buildings and parks

and streets and children

and ice cream parlors, you know?

So whenever I see, like,

a rogue organization,

willing to spend this amount of money

on a mystery tech,

I always assume it's the Anti-God.

End-of-the-world kind of stuff,

you know?

But, no, I don't have any idea what it is.

I was just speculating.

- Did you brief Musgrave on this?

- Who, me? No, not yet.

- Good. Don't.

- What?

- Don't tell anyone about this.

- This took me ages.

If something goes wrong

with the operation,

I want Musgrave to have deniability.

- That's great work, Benji.

- What operation?

That look in your eye

is a pain in my ass.

You know that, right?

Any available resident to Pediatrics.

Any available resident to Pediatrics.

Rehabilitative Care, call the pharmacy.

Rehabilitative Care, call the...

I have to go away again.

On business. Two days.

Two days?

Yeah.

Ethan, what's going on?

I keep thinking you just need time

to tell me whatever it is that it's...

But nothing in my mind makes sense.

Yeah.

What's wrong?

What are you not telling me?

I need to ask you for something.

And it's the most...

I need you to trust me.

Of course I trust you.
