However, the list is stolen, and the team is killed one by one, along with Golitsyn, leaving Jim's pointman Ethan Hunt the only survivor.

After returning to the Prague safe house, Ethan realizes "Job 314" actually refers to Bible verse Job 3:14, with "Job" being the mole's code name.

Ethan and Claire recruit two disavowed IMF agents, high-level hacker Luther Stickell and pilot Franz Krieger.
