Almost falling to her death, and Ethan saves her. Using the electronic wasp and a sniper pistol, Ethan protects Sofia from Berkut's men, but as he tries to explain himself to her, she mistakes him for being Berkut's loyal and runs off.

Unable to access ICEWORM's codes, Berkut orders his men to apprehend Sofia to obtain the codes, inadvertently revealing to an overhearing Ethan that Sofia's father, Nicholas Ivanescu (long thought dead) is still alive, but in league with Algo. Sneaking back in Yugaria's Ministry of Information, Ethan learns of ICEWORM, a deadly computer virus capable of breaking through any type of security system. In a shootout, Ethan kills Jong Ho and follows Sofia to Yugaria. Outside, Sofia sabotages a helicopter, leaving Jong Ho and his men to Ethan's disposal. He places bombs throughout the facility to cover his tracks, but Ethan disarms them. But this sets off an alarm, causing Jong Ho to accuse Sofia of being a spy. He requests Ethan and new IMF agent George Spelvin (disguising himself as a scientist) abort the mission, but Ethan refuses and destroys the biological weapons.

Once they leave, Ethan hacks the core and Luther reveals Los Muertos' plan to use three strains of neurodioxin. He enters the computer core and is forced to hide when Jong Ho Li, a contractor and ally to Algo, and Sofia Ivanescu, a software engineer, come to download software onto the core. Making his way to Los Muertos Laboratories, Ethan disguises himself as a security guard to gain access to the lower levels of the facility, though it was short lived. Berkut escapes, then Luther Stickell and Billy Baird extract Ethan at the last minute to evade capture. Ethan takes possession of the disk and pursues Berkut.

The plan goes south, as Marcou is shot and killed by Vasyl Berkut, the head of the Yugarian Secret Service. Marcou, however, tells him when he is safely in England, the disk will belong to IMF. As explained, Ethan will have to escort Mikail Marcou, a former advisor of Yugaria's current dictator, Simon Algo, and acquire a mini disk from Algo which contains vital information on Algo's operations.Įthan arrives at the Yugarian Ministry of Information, and despite a few missteps from a new member of the IMF team, Jasmine Curry, the mission runs smoothly and Ethan makes contact with Marcou. Once he finishes observing, he encounters two other IMF agents, one of whom shoots a harpoon at the ship to give Ethan his next mission. IMF operative Ethan Hunt is on a scuba diving mission to explore a shipwreck off the coast of the Black Sea.
