Ep 4. The Mercenaries

Mission: Impossible season 3 episode 4, titled "The Mercenaries," follows the Impossible Missions Force (IMF) as they embark on a mission to stop a group of mercenaries from overthrowing a foreign government.

Ethan Hunt (played by Peter Graves) and his team of agents, including Cinnamon Carter (Barbara Bain), Rollin Hand (Martin Landau), Barney Collier (Greg Morris), and Willy Armitage (Peter Lupus), are tasked with infiltrating the home of the leader of the mercenaries and planting a bug in his office. This bug will allow the IMF to gain access to important information about the group's plans to stage a military coup in the country.

To accomplish this, the team must first create a diversion by faking an explosion at a nearby power plant. This will draw the attention of the mercenaries and allow the IMF to move in undetected. After successfully planting the bug, the team is discovered by the mercenary leader's wife, who threatens to expose them.

In order to prevent their cover from being blown, the IMF must come up with a plan to silence the wife without arousing suspicion. This leads to a tense confrontation between the team and the mercenaries, who are becoming increasingly suspicious of their presence.

As the situation grows more dangerous, the team must rely on their quick thinking and resourcefulness to stay one step ahead of the mercenaries and complete their mission. With time running out and the stakes higher than ever, the IMF must pull off their most daring heist yet in order to save the country from a violent overthrow.

With high-stakes action, edge-of-your-seat drama, and plenty of twists and turns, "The Mercenaries" is a thrilling episode of Mission: Impossible that will keep viewers hooked until the very end.
