S1E8 8.0
The Pawn

After the death of his wife and the murder of his son, Professor Gregor Antonov, a European chess master and key scientist in an important Soviet defense project, has become increasingly disillusioned with his work in the Cold War arms race. Disheartened, he has thoughts of defecting to the west, where he will live a quiet life together with his 15-year-old daughter Sasha, his only remaining family member. Soviet officials are however well aware of Antonov's hopes, and thus the security around him is rigorous. Jim Phelps and his team of agents are assigned to the mission of smuggling Antonov and his daughter out of the Soviet Union and to safety in the west. The perfect opportunity to do this appears to be during a chess tournament in Czechoslovakia, where the chess master Antonov is due to participate.

Lowlights

#35 S2E9 Banshee 6.3

In the Northern Irish town of BallyNaGragh, hotel owner Brian McCarron operates as a successful arms dealer. His success is mainly due to the fact that McCarron continually likes to provoke further violence in the ongoing Northern Irish conflict by secretly performing his own acts of atrocity, and then blaming them on both the respective sides, thus creating a better market for his weapon enterprise. Jim Phelps and his team of agents are assigned to the mission of putting Brian McCarron out of business, to bring him to justice, and to get the different fighting parties in BallyNaGragh to start friendly peace negotiations.
