Question about Final Scenes in Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation
During the final moments of Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation:
Ethan watches the disk they stole, revealing a list of bank account numbers and instructions to access the money. He then drills a hole through the disk to destroy the data.
He then tells the main baddie that he memorized all of the account numbers.
Is that really possible? Or was Ethan bluffing? Did he just transfer all the money into a single account/few accounts? OR was he just completely bluffing, only remembered one or two account numbers, and the rest of the money is gone now?
I don't remember the movie really addressing it, and it seems like too big of a thing to gloss over. Or I guess I should turn off my brain and just go with "Ethan is basically the strongest/most intelligent/most skillful person on the planet."
Best Answer
In the beginning of the film, Alan (Alec Baldwin) talking to Senate about how the IMF missions were successful only because of some LUCK.
In another scene, when Ethan goes underwater to plant the chip, he almost runs out of oxygen and is not able to think clearly. And (what it looked like) he randomly chooses one of the two identical chips and inserts it into the machine.
So, in the end, I think, he memorized just one or two account numbers and was totally bluffing. And as they say, fortune favors the brave!
