Mission: Impossible - 3x11 - The Freeze

    The target is an inmate, close to release on a lesser charge, who was involved in an armored car robbery.  The statute of limitations on that robbery is running out, so the team wants to get him out of jail, and persuade him to claim the money early.
    Yeah, the premise seems like a bit of a reach.  It's not a bad plan, but it's not a great episode.
    First, they convince the mark that he's got a terminal disease.  They have the prison doctor give this news.  This provides a reason why he's getting out of jail.  But it also sparks his interest in being frozen.
    He agrees to be frozen.  He is unfrozen, and told it's 11 years later.  He eventually leaves the place they're held, and discovers that it's not 11 years later.  But a planted newspaper suggests that it is a day later than it actually is.  So he goes off to find his hidden loot.
    And you know the rest.  I felt like this plot wasn't as direct as it should have been.  The plan seems much more circuitous than other plots.  And it felt very bad that the doctor was willing to participate in lying to a patient in this way.
