The God-Emperor of all narcissists getting in a twist over an uncooperative reflecting pool is too on-the-nose, even for the fucking hacks they’ve got writing the 21st century these days.

At the heart of what we do remains a belief in radio's imaginative possibilities - audio that can reconfigure the world around us & sink into our dreams. Dip into our archive of nearly 900 audio docs here www.fallingtree.co.uk/our-archive/

Final Reckoning, last scene:
Ethan Hunt has been crucified.

QUIET EVIL GUY: At last, we won. We killed movies and started world war three. Hang on-

He removes Ethan's mask. Underneath, the face is his own.

QUIET EVIL GUY: The fuq. Then who am I?

Cut to: the real ETHAN, watching the scene through binoculars on a motorike. 

ETHAN: (smiles) Temporary dialogue to be redubbed later.
