Hunt escapes along with Brandt and together they rendezvous with Carter and Dunn in a secret IMF bunker located in one of the carriages of a just-departed freight train. Sidorov's forces catch up to Hunt, and the Secretary is killed. The Secretary, who has been severely reprimanded by Russian authorities, tells Hunt that the President had initiated "Ghost Protocol", disavowing IMF, but secretly orders Hunt to continue to pursue Cobalt. Hunt escapes and meets with the IMF Secretary who is in Moscow with his aide and intelligence analyst, William Brandt. Carter and Dunn escape, but Hunt is captured by SVR agent Anatoly Sidorov and charged with destroying the Kremlin. Hunt's team aborts the mission just as a bomb destroys much of the Kremlin. During the mission, an insider broadcasts the IMF team about a supposed detonation, thereby alerting the Kremlin Police. IMF tasks Hunt to infiltrate the Kremlin to gain more information on Cobalt. With the help of Jane Carter, Hanaway's handler, and newly promoted field agent Benji Dunn, he makes his escape, bringing with him a fellow prisoner named Bogdan. IMF agent Ethan Hunt has become incarcerated in a Moscow prison. IMF agent Trevor Hanaway is killed in Budapest by assassin Sabine Moreau, who takes his file containing Russian nuclear launch codes so she can sell them to a man known only as "Cobalt".
