Witson is successful at killing Julia, but Ethan escapes. Ethan is finally able to get in contact with Sloane. She explains Lane's escape, the formation of his new terrorist group, the downfall of the MI6, and his proposed plan to eliminate all special intelligence groups. Meanwhile, Ogle has framed Ethan as the killer of Julia. The Cancún police begins an investigation and tops Ethan as one of the countries most wanted. In his attempted escape, he runs into the White Widow, who helps Ethan escape from Cancún. Luther, Benji, Ilsa, and Jack have arrived in England. They begin to investigate the aftermath of the attack on the MI6. They discover that Rowan Xavier, the newly appointed director of the MI6, is working with Lane and allowed his escape. Rowan orders the capturing of the IMF. Luther and Ilsa are captured and interrogated. Benji and Jack must save them using an elaborate IMF scheme involving masks, technologically advanced equipment, and voice changers. Ethan arrives in the San Fernando Valley.

The three begin to explain that they were instructed by their President and Prime Minister to release Solomon Lane from prison, blame the escape on the MI6, and murder the CIA's most prized weapon, the IMF. Erica Sloane removes her mask, and reveals herself as the White Widow. She explains the real Erica Sloane was murdered 5 days ago. White Widow helped Ethan escape Cancún because according to the mission given to her by the Prime Minister, she herself is suppose to kill Ethan. If the White Widow had allowed Ogle Witson, Lane's right hand man, to kill Ethan, then the mission would have been spoiled, and White Widow would have been killed. Jack shoots and kills Lane. He explains to Ethan that he was chasing the wrong person this entire time. Lane was not the villain. Lane was just given orders from the Prime Minister and the President of the United States. He informs Ethan that he should have killed the Prime Minister when he had the chance (Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation). Ethan then in return explains that they forgot one important detail. Ogle Witson barges in, with guns blazing. Rowan Xavier is immediately shot and killed. A full on war breaks out in the top of the Notre Dame Tower. While the gun fight goes on, in slow motion, Ethan's voice begins to explain the mission. It is revealed that he knew that White Widow was going to turn on him, because of details he picked up in Cancún. Luther, Benji, and Ilsa, of course, knew about Rowan Xavier, and also found details on MI6 computers that revealed that Lane was merely a decoy. The fight ends with Jack dead and White Widow held captive. The Prime Minister, the President of the United States, and White Widow are arrested and are sentenced with life on death row. Ethan hands over his IMF badge and announces his retirement from the field. Cinnamon Carter introduces the new IMF, Benji Dunn, Ilsa Faust, and Ogle Witson. Ethan is hired as the new Director of the CIA.
