NOTES: This transcript is not trying to get the movie word for word, but close to it. This transcript is for reading purposes only! KEY: (OC)= Off Computer (VO)= Voice Over (OS)= Off Screen **This transcript must not be copied** FADE EXT. IN: SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA DAY

The movie starts with some aerial shots of Sydney monuments like the Opera house and so on. We then get a shot of a top of a building and we get a CAPTION at the bottom of the screen. CAPTION BIOCYTE INT. PHARMACEUTICALS BIOCYTE DAY

LAB

We see NEKHOROVICH wearing two gloves in a clear box which is inside a confinement room. In the box are three space-looking guns. NEKHOROVICH(VO) Well, Dimitri. Every search for a hero must begin with something that every hero requires, a villain. Therefore, in our search for a hero, Belairiform, we created the monster, Chimera. NEKHOROVICH picks up one gun and points it to his wrist and pulls the trigger. INT. LOBBY BIOCYTE DAY

NEKHOROVICH exits the lobby with a briefcase and checks his timer which is counting down for some reason. He continues to walk. NEKHOROVICH(VO) I beg you, Dimitri, come to Sydney and accompany me to Atlanta immediately. However we travel, I must arrive at my destination within twenty hours of departure. EXT. FRONT ENTRANCE BIOCYTE DAY

NEKHOROVICH exits the building and stops to see children playing and singing. CHILDREN ...We a pocket full of posies. A tissue, a tissue, we all fall down.

The children all fall to the ground and laugh. The picture morphs back to NICOVICH's face. He continues to walk. INT. PLANE THE ROCKYS DAY

NEKHOROVICH looks out of his window on the plane, he sits back to reveal ETHAN HUNT sitting next to him. The CAPTAIN speaks on the PA system. CAPTAIN(OS) We are two and a half hours away from Atlanta, out you window now, we have a great view of the Rocky Mountains. NEKHOROVICH looks at his watch.

HUNT You keep staring at that watch as if your life depended on it, Doctor. NEKHOROVICH Yes, I suppose HUNT You'll I'm a bit anxious.

abrupt drop in cabin pressure. As a precaution, I have released the oxygen masks. Please put them on, sit back and relax, there is nothing to worry about. The CAPTAIN releases the masks and the passengers begin to worry. We see WALLIS close a laptop and walk to the back of the plane while the other passengers put on the masks. NEKHOROVICH Are you concerned? HUNT Well, not so far. Just put on your oxygen mask, I'll see what's going on. NEKHOROVICH Okay. HUNT leaves his seat and walks to the back also. NEKHOROVICH puts on his seatbelt. INT. COCKPIT - PLANE - DAY The CAPTAIN is on the radio and is sending a transmission for help. CAPTAIN Denver centre, this is Trans Pac two two zero seven, seven four seven heavy. We are unable to maintain cabin pressurisation, initated a descent to one six thousand. As the CAPTAIN sends the transmission, his co-pilot has slowly passed out. The CAPTAIN decreases the flight level one zero thousand and engages the auto-pilot and leaves the cockpit. INT. PASSENGER CABIN PLANE DAY

The other passengers on the plane also pass out with their oxygen masks on. NEKHOROVICH looks worried. NEKHOROVICH God! The CAPTAIN, who is really HUGH STAMP, leaves the cockpit and takes his tie off. He puts on a parachute and a thermal suit with the other man, WALLIS, who went to the back earlier. HUNT goes back to his seat next to NEKHOROVICH. He sits down. NEKHOROVICH It seems that HUNT You keep we have a problem, Dimitri!

They open up a trap door on the bottom of the cabin aisle. They put on goggles and one at a time, jump out of the plane. INT. COCKPIT PLANE DAY

A WARNING VOICE continues to sound from the cockpit switchboard. The co-pilot wakes up from passing out to find that the plane is heading towards a mountain. WARNING VOICE Terrain! Terrain! Pull up! Pull up! (repeats)

The co-pilot pulls up but it is not enough to miss the mountain and the plane crashes and explodes. EXT. CLIFFS SEMI-DESERT AERA DAY

We see the actual ETHAN HUNT climbing a cliff face with no rigs or other forms of protection. He continues climbing and gets to a point when he changes places on the cliff face. HUNT jumps to the other spot and makes it. He suddenly slips and is holding onto the cliff face with one hand. He quickly regains his grip and continues to climb. Finally he makes it to the top of the cliff. Suddenly, helicopter flies by. A guy in a suit, sitting on the edge of the chopper points to him and fires a small missile. The small missile gets stuck in the ground. HUNT makes a smirk. The chopper leaves. HUNT walks to the small missile and opens it to see OAKLEY-style sunglasses. He makes a smirk and puts the glasses on. The sunglasses begin a retinal scan. SWANBECK's voice comes from the glasses. SWANBECK Morning Mr. Hunt. Your mission, should you chose to accept it, involves recovery of a stolen item, designated, Chimera. You may select any two team members, but it is essential that the third team member be Nyah Nordoff-Hall. She is a civilian, and a highly capable professional thief. You have forty-eight hours to recruit Miss Nordoff-Hall and meet me in Seville to receive your

HUNT throws away the sunglasses and they explode in mid air. The explosion follows through to the main title and opening credits. TITLE MISSION IMPOSSIBLE

II

The TITLE explodes and shatters into many pieces. A Spanish dancer goes across the screen, which goes to the next scene. INT. MANSION SEVILLE SPAIN NIGHT

HUNT is in a crowded room with dancers in the middle, he walks around the dancers to see NYAH on the other side on the dancers. He follows her around the dancers. A dancer goes past and she disappears. HUNT continues looking for her. We see NYAH walk up a flight of stairs and up to a higher level. NYAH walks up to a window and puts on gloves. We cut between the dancers and her. NYAH walks across the level to another room. She pick the lock and enters the room. We cut back to the dancers who are finished. An applause erupts. INT. ROOM MANSION NIGHT

NYAH is in the room, the applause can still be heard from there. She pulls out what looks like a make up case with a detector inside. The detector leads her to a bath where the beeps are getting faster. She pulls out a series of picks and slots cards. She finds a slot in the wall and picks it. A compartment next to her opens up with other compartments inside it and is unsure of which one to pick. HUNT I see you've found it.

NYAH turns around to see ETHAN HUNT sitting on the edge of the bath. NYAH What HUNT Think NYAH Hmph! are you doing here?

HUNT waves some gear behind his back to NYAH, she takes it.

HUNT No, no need to apologise. Now Miss Hall, my associate, has your necklace in a very safe place. But obviously we do feel that the alarm should have gone off a little sooner. Isn't that right, Miss Hall? NYAH Oh! Absolutely. Much, much too long I'd say.

HUNT (to HOST) With the circumstances, I'd think that we'd recommend that resetting the sensors to respond to a lighter to a lighter load. How do you feel about forty kilos, Miss Hall? NYAH Perfect! HUNT Shall

HUNT puts out his hand as if he asked to dance. He gets her hand and NYAH begins to walk about but HUNT pulls her back. HUNT Miss NYAH Hmm? HUNT Haven't Hall?

The scene starts off with a shot of the sun rising. We then get an over head shot of NYAH's car. Then move to get a shot of her face while driving. Suddenly, her phone goes off. She answers it. NYAH Hello? HUNT(OS) Hi! Would NYAH Where

SWANBECK opens the laptop and accesses a video file. The file appears with NEKHOROVICH sitting in a chair. SWANBECK plays the file. NEKHOROVICH(OC) Well Dimitri, once again I need your help, just as in the old days, when you saved our lives, saved our very sanity. Dimitri, we have this little problem. Every search for a hero must begin with something that every hero requires, a villain. Therefore, in our search for our hero, Belariform, we created the monster, Chimera. I beg you, Dimitri, come to Sydney and accompany me to Atlanta immediately. However we travel, I must arrive at my destination within twenty hours of departure. I fear that I can not entrust this to no one but you. Dimitri, as we say I am sorry and you are sorry. The video file finishes.

SWANBECK Do you have HUNT An idea? SWANBECK Like?

what

the

he's

talking

about?

Yep!

HUNT Like, it's a good to pick him up in a hurry, but a bad idea to fly him on a commercial carrier. Is he still in Sydney? SWANBECK Doctor Vladimir Nekhorovich is dead, so is his colleague, Gradski, but that happened earlier. We had Nekhrovich on a flight from Sydney that crashed in the Rockys. HUNT Dead?! SWANBECK Are you

listening

to

me?

HUNT If he didn't want to go anywhere without me, how did you get him on that flight? SWANBECK Oh, you were there!

SWANBECK accesses another file with HUNT's and AMBROSE's faces and facial records. SWANBECK When I couldn't find you, I had to replace you. Sean Ambrose was the obvious choice. He doubled you two or three times? HUNT Twice! SWANBECK What did

SWANBECK Mr. Captain Harold Macintosh is the pilot of the flight 2207. As the media and government agencies are concerned, Captain Macintosh died in the flight. Infact, he missed it, but he did however make the next flight in cargo, stuffed into a rather small suitcase considering his size. SWANBECK hands the photos and records to HUNT.

SWANBECK Well then I miss lead you or you made the wrong assumption, either way, we are asking her to resume her prior relationship not doing anything she has already done. Voluntarily, I might add. HUNT No she's got no training for this kinda thing.

Mission Impossible II transcript

STICKELL is drinking coffee, HUNT is standing up. Both listening to NEKHOROVICH's video. NEKOVICH(OC)(VO) ...a villain, therefore in our search for our hero, Belairiform, we created a monster, Chimera. STICKELL Nekhorovich was a molecular biologist, why is he going on about and old Greek myth? HUNT Nekhorovich specialised in recombining DNA molecules. And the myth, Belairiform was a prince who killed the Chimera. A monster with a head of a lion and a tail of a serpent, that plagued the ancient world. I think Nekhorovich created a monster virus in Chimera. And you need an anti virus to kill it called Belairiform. STICKELL That simple, HUNT Why not? AMBROSE'S STUDY DAY huh?

STAMP and AMBROSE are sitting in lounge chairs. AMBROSE has a magnifying glass and sheets of paper with photos on them. STAMP sits quietly. AMBROSE Thirty-seven million pounds. Well that's a promising bid for Nekovich's work. Don't look so worried Hugh, we're half way there. AMBROSE packs a memory card in a case and slots it into an envelope. AMBROSE We'll need that at the track, if we're going to get the other half. AMBROSE hands the envelope to STAMP, who just sits there.

AMBROSE Well then,

all

sorted!

STAMP gets up and throws the envelope onto the table and looks at NYAH sleeping in the bed. STAMP Not everything! STAMP closes a slide door.

STAMP She wasn't exactly gagging for you when she left you six months ago. The question is do you trust her? AMBROSE gets a cigar from a box and closes the lid.

AMBROSE Well it considers her timing of course. Getting nicked within a week of the plane going down. Suggestive even boarder line suspicious, but hardly conclusive. AMBROSE has a cigar cutter in his hand and cuts the end of a cigar off. STAMP Well, you thought on about the it at that rate.

AMBROSE puts STAMP in a lock position. AMBROSE puts the cigar cutter on his pinkie finger. STAMP Sean, please!

AMBROSE Suppose she is a Trojan horse sent in by IMF to spy on us. Why shouldn't I have the pleasure of a ride or two? Or you think I can't learn from her more than she can learn from me? STAMP I do! I do! I do! I do!

AMBROSE Hugh, you must realise that some of us have pedantic more sex to do with. I may or may not know why she think she's here, but I wanted to take the risk because you, I am gunning for it. AMBROSE EXT. cuts a bit of DAY STAMP's finger off. STAMP screams.

NYAH Sean? She finds that AMBROSE isn't around. She leaves the house and runs further up the compound to a different building. We get a shot of the sentries. She continues for the higher building. She sees a sentry torch coming towards her and goes the other way. She runs through a back way, and suddenly is caught by HUNT, who tells her to quiet. INT. HOSITAL ROOM NIGHT

We see McCLOY wake up in a hospital bed. The bed is surrounded by a plastic sheet. He sees NEKHORVICH on the other side. McCLOY is not breathing well. Everything sounds like a dream. McCLOY What is this?

NEKHORVICH No use, my friend. Medical staff wants no part of this. Doctors don't fit the idea of dying any more than anyone else. McCLOY How could I possibly be infected?

McCLOY You still don't get it do you. I needed to see just how bad the disease was in the real world, not just the lab. You and geneticists splicing strains of influenza, to create a cure for all influenzas, you also created a disease so terrible than Chimera, the cure would be priceless. I needed Chimera in order to pedal Belairform. It's not that difficult to understand, is it? Look, I've got the virus, you've got the cure. I needed them both. Time wasn't sure if penicillin would knock off every bug in the zoo. Not any more, if I couldn't make money killing those microscopic shits that are out there or you'd help me put one out there that I could make money on. There it is, I've confessed. I John C. McCloy, am in business to make money. Now forget any deal you may have made with that thug, Ambrose, let me treat it and lets go back to work. NEKHORVICH You know, I think it's a little late for tat.

HUNT I thought the hardest part was curing that oppressed need of yours to get your gun off. You were in such a hurry to knock off that seven four seven, you never figured out what Chimera really was. AMBROSE I knew what it was!

HUNT Ohh! Then you knew the only way that Nekhorvich could smuggle the live virus was by injecting himself. Using his own bloodstream as a Petrie dish, you knew that while you were knocking him off, destroyed the very thing you came for. HUNT comes out and fires and hides back again. The guards fire back. The bullets from the guns make the injection gun move. AMBROSE STOP! Put a sock in it! And the bloody gun, you'll spread the virus all over the place. HUNT There it is, guys! The last of it!

Sorry to disappoint you! 2- The island base where STAMP dies, is actually a good fishing spot if you happen to live around the area. 3- G'day is actually short of 'Good Day'. It's an Australian term.
