"I had to do something." "I was starting to look like you." "Chuck!" "Here's your pack." "Walter fixed your headset so you won't get any more dropouts." "We're gonna miss you out there." "Guess they thought we had too much fun together the last time." "Remember, our priority here is the trigger." "We have to get it off the street." "If that's under control, then we can go for Wicke." "When the deal goes down, you'll receive your signal." "Bring me that trigger." "Did you make the delivery?" "Yeah." "I just handed it to him." "Good." " He's in." " With the trigger?" "With the trigger." "We're checking it out now." "Yeah." "It's all here." " Hold on a minute Michael." " What's wrong?" " It's not a real trigger." " What is it?" "It's a bomb." " Can you defuse it?" " We're on it now." "It's not reading." "These are dummy wires." "How did it go?" "We're almost done." "It's been activated." " Evacuate now." " There's no time." "Chuck?" "Chuck, are you there?" " Who were they?" " We may never know." "Bring in everyone." "This is now priority one." "The people who are responsible for the loss of life two days ago:" "John and Helen Wicke." "They've been dealing arms internationally since 1984." "Their activity was mostly limited to class two or three explosives." "We believe now, however, that they're in possession of a nuclear trigger." "It's a classified device." "It's just as valuable as a warhead itself." "These people trust no one but each other." "Until now, they seemed invincible." "But we believe we've found a weakness." " Name?" " Nikita." "Nikita...?" "Just Nikita." "Look, to qualify for food and shelter, you gotta answer me a few questions, ok?" "Place of birth?" "It was easy John." "After I left Uzbekistan, I flew to Greece." "Faginson printed me up a new passport and here I am." "The trigger was with you the whole time?" "Never left my sight, John." "There's no way anyone can put me there." "Mark." "Can I get you another drink?" "No." "I'm fine, Helen." "I have to catch a flight." "Thanks." "Do you... have the key?" "Right here." "Locker at the airport." "Like you said." "Great." "I'll wire the money into your account." "As usual." "Well, goodbye gorgeous." " My best to Eve." " I will." "Thanks again John." " Mark." "Take Care." " You too!" "Bye Bye." "OK." "Contact Wallaby and we'll start negotiating right away... and, um... cancel Paris for now, we can see them in London next month." "And have Randy double security until this deal is over." "Did it." "All." " Hello?" " Helen." "Charlie Ross here." " Oh, yes Charlie." " Helen, I think we may have something." "Pretty sure I've found her, if it is her." "She's at a shelter downtown." "I see." "How do you want to proceed with this?" "Do you want me to pick her up?" "Yes." "Of course." "Do you want to meet me down at the shelter?" " No." "Here." " OK." " When do you want to do it?" " As soon as possible." "OK." "I'll get her as soon as I can." "What's wrong?" " That was Charlie Ross." " We haven't heard from him in months." "He thinks he's found her." "Want some coffee?" "What do you want?" "!" "I can walk by myself." "Come on" " Leave me alone!" "What the hell is this place?" "Let me go!" "I didn't expect you to bring her this morning." "Let me go, please." "Who gave you the name Nikita?" " Who said that's my name?" " Do you have family?" " Are you a prostitute?" " No." " Are you?" " Drug addict?" "Look." "I haven't done anything wrong." "What do you want?" "I just want to ask you a few questions." "If you promise to cooperate, I'll send them away." "Would you like to come in and sit down?" " What year were you born?" " What year were you born?" "What year?" " '75." " The date?" " October 17." " Who were your parents?" "I don't know." "I lost count after the fifth foster home." " Where were you born?" " Halifax." " Where in Halifax?" " I don't know where!" "I think you do, Nikita." "Say it!" "Jail." "I was born in jail." " My poor girl." " What?" "Crazy." "I may be." "But I'm also your mother." "I know this all seems unreal to you." "I've never seen food like this." " What is it?" " Scones." "They're better with cream and jam." "What did they tell you about me?" "That you were dead." " Anything else?" " Not really." "I didn't give you up." "They took you." "I was..." "I was in jail." "Unmarried." "It was the law." "When I got out... no one would tell me anything." "I've been looking for you ever since." "Adoption agencies." "Foster homes." "How'd you find me?" "I hired a detective." "Charlie would call every couple of months to check in and tell me there was... no leads." "And then yesterday he called." "And here you are." "Cool." "You don't believe me?" "What difference does it make?" "To me it does." "And I hope that one day it will to you too." "Helen?" " Sorry to interrupt." " John." "This is Nikita." " Nikita, my husband, John Wicke." " Hello, Nikita." " Is he my father?" " No." "Your real father's dead." "Nikita?" "What were you doing before you walked into that shelter?" "Stuff." "Hangin' out." "And all of a sudden you just needed some help." " I got cold." " She got... cold." "We should go." "Now." "Just... just wait right there." "I'll..." "I'll be right back." "John, could you do this without me?" " I can." "I'd rather not." " This is so important to me." "I know it is." "That's why you can't commit yourself to this until you know it's real." "It's her." "I know." "It's her." "I want this for you, darling." "I do." "And if it's really her, I'll drop everything that" "Stop her!" "She's running away." "Don't hurt her!" " You can't keep me here." " You're free to go." "Just... give me a chance, first." "If I'm free, why are they here?" "Go." "Has the package been delivered?" "They're approaching the target now." "It'll be dropped in three minutes." "These are the guest bedrooms." "The one that faces the gardens has the nicest bath, but it's..." " it's the one I was saving for you." " Did I say I was staying?" "I see you've inherited my lack of trust." "Look, lady, you don't seem to get it." "I'm OK with my life." "I don't need anything from you or anybody else." "I tried that when I was your age too." "Then I met John and he made me realize I needed someone." "I hope you like it." "What do you and John do anyway?" "How'd you get all this?" "John's been very successful in business." " What kind of business?" " Oh, different things." "So, can I tell Louise to put new linens on the bed?" "I'll stay a couple of days." "No promises." "No promises." "Come on, I want to show you the garden." "There it goes." " Oh, no." " What?" "It's landed about 100 feet from the target." "It's exposed." "Beyond that ridge is a river." "John likes to go down and battle the trout." "I'm sure he'd love to take you along with him some time." "Is that the guest house?" "No." "That's where John works." "Oh, it's getting cold." "Tell me how you and John met." "It was uh..." "It was about eleven years ago..." "What is this place?" "Who are you people?" "We already know there are people inside Baghdad who want the nuclear trigger." "We just don't know what group." "I don't know what you're talking about." "John Wicke." "The man who has the trigger." "The man you spoke with on the street this afternoon, killed four of my employees." "Never heard of the guy." "We tracked Wicke's car to your meet." "I saw the money exchange." "Do you think there's anything I won't do to get this information from you?" "I can't tell you what I don't know." "You can torture me all day and that won't change." "It's a deal." "Com picked up intel from our friends at Mossad." "They've narrowed it down to three potential groups." "Are there any other specifics?" "Time?" "Location?" "Nothing." "What have you got from him?" " So far, nothing." " Nothing?" "!" "I'm getting tired of hearing that word!" "I mean, has everyone in this place suddenly become incompetent?" "What do you hear from Nikita?" "No reports for the last six hours, which is probably a good thing." "If she can form some kind of bond with Helen Wicke, we'll have the leverage we need." "If?" "If?" "!" "Michael." "I have no intention of failing on this one." "Nikita may have to sacrifice." "Meaning what?" "If Helen Wicke believes she's Nikita's mother, she may not be able to tolerate the pain we inflict on her daughter." "Hi, darling." "You..." "look exhausted." "How'd it go?" " Were you in my office earlier?" " No." "Why?" " Nothing." "It" " It went fine." " Should I call in Neal?" "No." "I don't need a massage." "I'm, um, just going to take a hot bath and go to bed." "Oh, um, how did it go with Nikita?" " It was a good day, John." " Where is she?" "She's upstairs in the guest bedroom." "I'll see you in bed." "I'll be up soon." "Nikita?" "All right." "We're making progress." "I'm listening." "The trigger is due to arrive in Tripoli in 52 hours." "That's it?" "We're working backwards." "There's enough time left." "To do what?" "We can't trace it from the buyers." "They don't know where it is." "And Wicke won't give them a rendezvous point until the very last possible moment." "We'll tap into something." "Are you trying to convince me or yourself?" "Wicke and his wife are the only ones who know the location of the trigger." "He's not going to crack." "She might." "We're going to have to use Nikita." "There's no way to avoid it." "Prepare yourself, Michael." "You like it?" "I feel very different in these clothes." "You are different." "You have a mother now." "Helen, you're a very nice woman, but I'm just not able to" "You can't call me mother?" "No." "Not yet." "As I was trying to say." "I'm not quite as ready for this as you are." "I understand." "It's just that, I've been waiting for this for years." "And now here you are more beautiful and wonderful than I ever could have imagined." "Helen, please." "One look in your eyes and I knew I'd never be the same." "Listen to me... the typical Mom." "I'll take that." "Now tea we take very seriously." "I see." "This is one of my favorites." "Sort of like a Darjeeling only a little sweeter." "Try it." " This way's better." " Thank you." " Yes?" " I like it." "Is that my grandmother?" "This was one of the last times she was able to take me out." "She died two months later." "She never had a break in her life but she was never bitter." "Look at you." "I think there's some of her in both of us." "This is Wicke." "Is he in?" "What do you mean he didn't come back?" "No, I met with him yesterday." "No, you listen to me." "You find out what's going on, where he is and if he's not running his own show, who is?" "I've gotta get this thing out of the country in the next 24 hours." "I'm sorry, Helen." "Looks like one of those new carbon fiber jobs." "Whatever it opens was made in the last two years." "Can it be private?" "No." "They're mass-produced for hotels, airports." "Work it up." "What are you doing?" "Helen said I could use the computer." "Hope that's not a problem." " What's that?" " This?" "It's a digital camera." "You're, um," "you're not Helen's daughter." "No." "I'm not." " What did you do to her?" " Helen?" "I put her to sleep for a couple of hours." " She'll be fine." " Who are you?" "I'm a friend of Chucks." "I'm afraid I" " I don't know him." " Oh, yes you do." "You killed him a couple of days ago along with a couple of friends of mine." "I see." "Where's the trigger?" "You know I'll never tell you that." "If you love Helen, you will." "I don't love anyone that much." "That's too bad." "That's for Chuck." "Helen?" "Hi." "I don't know..." "I don't know what happened." "I just got groggy." " How long was I out?" " Couple of hours..." "Did you see John?" "He left a while ago." "Is something wrong?" "We..." "We had a very important meeting." "This isn't like him." " Did he say where he was going?" " No." "He did seem in a hurry." " Mrs. Wicke?" " Yes?" "I'm Detective Lewis." "There's been an accident." "What are you talking about?" "Your husband was driving on Highway one-sixteen and apparently lost control of his vehicle." "He's dead." "No!" "No" "I'm sorry ma'am." "We're going to need you to come down to identify the body." "There's so many things." "I don't" "He did every- every..." "Don't worry about any of that now." "I'll take care of you." "You will?" "Of course." "You're my mother aren't you?" " Why are we stopping?" " Out of the car." "What are you doing?" "No!" "Leave her alone!" "She hasn't hurt anyone!" "Stop!" "Why are you doing this?" "What do you want?" "The trigger." "You killed John because he wouldn't tell you." "You think I will?" "Continue." "Where is it?" "Kill the girl." "No!" "No..." "I'll tell you!" "She's all I've got." " How is she?" " She'll be fine." "Do we have closure?" "The trigger was where she said it was." "And we picked up the buyers." "Hello." "What happened?" "You did your job." "Thank you." "I'm sorry it had to come to that." "Don't be." "I'm getting used to how things are." "Is Helen still alive?" " For now." " Does she know... that I'm not her daughter?" "We haven't told her." "You know... my real mother would've let them keep beating me." "She would've let me die." "Get some rest." "Michael." "However long she's got, let her believe."
