Ethan eventually realizes that Jim Phelps is the mole, and that his wife Claire had faked her own death. With the help of Luther Stickell and initially Franz Krieger, Ethan obtains the authentic NOC list and exposes Jim as the mole. In the end, Jim and Krieger are killed, and Ethan is left unsure about returning to the team, but is offered a chance to take on a new mission as team leader.
