【选段台词】
Ethan: IMF now believes this man, Kurt Hendricks is the nuclear extremist, code name Cobalt. Today he was seen leaving the Kremlin, with what is likely a nuclear launch device. Two days ago, Sabine Moreau killed one of our agents in Budapest and relieved him of Russian nuclear launch codes. Intel indicates she will check into the Burj Hotel in Dubai in 36 hours. Marius Wistrom is a known operative of Cobalt. Wistrom is currently enroute to Dubai. For the launch device to work, Cobalt needs the activation codes. He's sending Wistrom to buy them from Moreau. The Secretary is dead. The president has invoked Ghost Protocol. We're shut down. No satellite, safe house, support, or extraction. The four of us and the contents of this car are all that remain of the IMF. And as of this moment, any action is unsanctioned. So if you want out, speak now.
(silent)
Ethan: Our mission is Hendricks. We're all that stands between him and his goal. Nothing can be left to chance. Everyone connected with this man is considered an asset with valuable information about our target. No one can know we're still on line. We lost Hendricks now, we lose him forever.
Jane: So, what's the play?
Ethan: Wistrom will take delivery from Moreau in 36 hours. Now we cannot let the launch codes leave the hotel, but we need Wistrom to lead us to Hendricks.
William: He'll only do that if he has the codes.
Jane: Or if he thinks he has them.
Ethan: Our objective is to intercept the sale, replace the authentic codes with counterfeits and follow Wistrom to Hendricks.
Benjinmin: Well, that's simple enough. We snatch the codes, we gin up some fakes. Jane, you double Moreau, and sell the codes to Wistrom and Bob's your uncle.
William: And how do you propose we just snatch the codes from Moreau?
Jane: You take her out.
Benjinmin: Yeah, we take her out. But, you know, discreetly.
William: Discreetly?
Benjinmin: Yeah. Right, she's an asset. Right.
Ethan: I get it.
Benjinmin: Nothing is left to chance. He said... I'm spitballing. It's not all gonna be gold.
Ethan: We don't touch Wistrom.
Benjinmin: All right.
Ethan: Or Wistrom. She'll answer for Hanaway, but it has to be when I say. After we hit Hendricks. Only pack what we need.
Benjinmin: Yeah, absolutely. Only pack what we... You never know.

3. Nothing can be left to chance.
"我们不能心存侥幸。"Ethan和他的特别小组他们的任务是Hendricks,但却要在没有后援的情况下一个小组单独行动。所以他们“不能心存侥幸”。
