Hunt’s team members separately convince Moreau and Wistrom that they have made the exchange with one another. However, Moreau identifies Brandt as an agent. While Hunt chases Wistrom  only to realize that Wistrom is actually Hendricks in disguise, escaping with the codes Carter detains Moreau. Moreau attempts to kill the inexperienced Dunn and Carter kicks her out a window to her death. Brandt accuses Carter of compromising the mission for revenge against Moreau, but Hunt accuses Brandt of keeping secrets from them as he has displayed fighting skills typical of an analyst. While Hunt seeks more information from Bogdan, Brandt admits he was assigned as security detail to Hunt and his wife, Julia in Croatia. Brandt says that while he was on patrol, Julia was killed by a Serbian hit squad prompting Ethan to pursue and kill them before he was caught by the Russians and sent to prison.

Underworld Awakening is a 2012 American 3D action horror film directed by Måns Mårlind and Björn Stein. The film begins Six months after the events of Underworld: Evolution, humans capture the vampire Selene (Kate Beckinsale) during “the Purge” a global military crusade to exterminate Vampires and Lycans after mankind learns of their existence. Humans call them “Non Humans” and “the Infected”. Twelve years later the human governments have concluded the genocidal campaigns against the vampires and lycans. They have annihilated 95% of the vampire race and believe the lycans are extinct. Selene dubbed “Subject 1″ is freed from cryogenic suspension by “Subject 2″ and escapes the medical corporation named Antigen. The corporation is ostensibly trying to make an antidote for the virus that creates vampires and lycans. Selene starts to have strange visions after her escape, which she follows believing them to be linked to her lover the vampire lycan hybrid Michael Corvin. The visions lead her into a building where she runs into David (Theo James) a fellow vampire. While talking to David, Selene has another vision. Following the vision, she discovers not Michael but a young girl called only as “Subject 2″ also known as Eve (India Eisley) later revealed to be a hybrid and the daughter of Selene and Michael. David, noting that Eve has been injured by the lycans and is somehow not healing, takes them to his coven. David’s father, Thomas (Charles Dance) does not welcome Selene and Eve. Blaming Selene for provoking the destruction of the vampire race, he stuns her with the news that Michael died twelve years ago. A vampire woman offers some of her blood to the wounded Eve, which she refuses to drink at first implying that she has never drunk blood before. With Selene’s encouragement, she accepts the gift and heals extremely quickly. Dr Jacob Lane (Stephen Rea) director of Antigen is revealed to be a lycan alongside his son Quint (Kris Holden Ried). The “antidote” the corporation has been working on for many years is actually to make lycans immune to the deadly effects of silver on their species and to enhance their physical abilities. Eve’s hybrid genetic code is required to achieve this, so Lane sends Quint with other lycans to the vampire coven to recapture her. Meanwhile, expecting a human attack at any moment, David tries to rally the vampires’ resistances to fight back while his father orders everyone to evacuate and hide. Most of the vampires stay and arm themselves heavily. more…
