Mission: Impossible

S06E16 Stone Pillow (aka Big House)

Private detective Edison holds damning photographs of mob boss Vochek, which he’s using to blackmail him. The IMF needs to obtain these pictures to convict Vochek, but Edison has been sentenced to six months in prison. Unbeknownst to Edison, his partner Leona is dead, so Casey assumes her identity while Jim poses as Edison’s cellmate to facilitate his escape and stage their deaths. As Casey, she tricks Edison into believing she sent the evidence to the D.A. after learning of his demise, while Jim convinces him she’s planning her own blackmail. When Edison confronts Casey, Jim pretends to shoot her, prompting Edison to divulge the location of the photos in a moment of desperation, leading to his capture.
