Mission: Impossible: 6x9

Invasion

An earthquake damages the U.S.’s Distant Early Warning (DEW) system and a Defense Department advisor, Whitmore Channing, steals plans from the Air Force identifying the weak spots. Channing has hid the information for pick-up by an enemy agent the next day, and the IMF must get the name and flight # of the agent from Channing. The IMF evacuate Channing’s city block and drug him unconscious after a fake electrical shock, then wake him up after adjusting the clocks to a day later. He believes the information has already been picked up, an idea «  »proven » » by a faked IMF invasion of the European People’s Republic. But then the EPR invaders arrest Channing and put him on trial. Channing reveals the location of the drop to prove his «  »innocence » », and then the IMF let him covertly know the whole thing is a fake. Channing calls his contact and mentions his name – the IMF get it via a tapped line and arrest the man before he can recover Channing’s info.
