"Hello, Nikita." "Your six-month numbers just came in." "What are they?" "Evaluations." "They tell us how effective you've been|on live missions." "I've been following your progress|since you returned to full status." "How am I doing?" "How do you think you're doing?" "I get the job done|more quickly than most... but I do have|a more unorthodox approach." "Something which is frowned upon|by the Section." "Not by the Section." "By me." "If you were me, what would|you recommend I do about that?" "I'd give me some time off." "Say, the next 40 years." "That might not be possible." "Officially, I will not take action|against you." "Unofficially?" "I'm going to ask Michael|to keep a tighter rein on you." "Watch for weaknesses." "See if we can help you eliminate them." "Eliminate them?" "That'll be all." "It could have been a lot worse." "Yeah, I hate being the first team|on a hot op." "You can't keep me here, I got people." "Take him to containment." "So, what do you do on your downtime?" "Nothing special." "Live." "Want to get a bite to eat?" "Yeah." "Maybe sometime." "Medical, we've a hostile down|in van access." "I'm glad you came." "It's not very often I get to hang out|with another operative." "What about Michael?" "|" "Don't you guys hang out?" "Not really." "But there's a closeness, yeah?" "Yeah." "There's a closeness." "I've been there." "Who with?" "Just another op.|" "It was before you got here." "So what happened?" "He was grabbed during a raid.|" "They were willing to trade him... for one of theirs that we picked up,|but Operations said no, so they killed him." "God, it's only been four years.|" "It seems like a lifetime." " So you got a boyfriend now?" "|" " I wouldn't exactly call him a boyfriend." "But he's okay." "Is that inside or out?" "Always best to make friends|outside the Section." "Not always." "We've got two hostages on the third floor,|above a nightclub." "Birkoff has a full A  E of the building|and the surrounding area." "We're on a nine-hour clock, door to door." "I've downloaded the A  Es|onto your panels." "What's the relative value|of hostage versus target?" "They're both priorities." "We're dealing with a rogue NSA Agent:" "Sullivan Bates." "He's a former field op who worked his way|up to regional strategist..." "Middle and Near East." "He has nine years of sensitive intel." " And he wants to sell it.|" " What happened?" "The Agency found out and was converging,|when things got out of hand." "Now they want us to clean it up." "Get on it." " Hi, Walter.|" " Hi, sugar." " What you got?" "|" " Nothing." " What's wrong?" "|" " What do you mean?" "I haven't seen you in over a week... and I usually get a little more from you." "What do you want?" "|" "A floor show every time we meet?" "I've never asked you for anything, Michael.|" "Why can't you do this for me?" "Birkoff and I will coordinate from here." "You'll be entering the building|on the northeast side." "Work your way through the club." "On the southeast corner,|you'll find a stairwell." "Go there and stand by." "I don't understand you." "All you have to do is talk to me,|" "I'll cut you down." "You can walk out of here." "We're in position, Birkoff." "Do you have us?" "Yeah." "Be careful crossing the room." "Bates has security on the floor." "All right, this is the last time|" "I'm gonna ask." "Look at me." "The thing is, I know|someone from your department... has been tracking me." "Do you have anything to tell me?" "Anything?" "There's one headed right for you, Terry." "There's another one right behind him." "The stairs are clean.|" "It's the first room at the top." "Kill them." "Get it on tape." "Got it, Birkoff?" "Yeah." "There's a gun on each hostage.|" "We'll need two on the interior." "Terry and Snow." "What's their position?" "Through the door on the left." "Will I have time?" "They're about to shoot a hostage.|" "Get off this channel and go." "Let's go." "What's the matter, Terry?" "What's wrong?" "I can't do it." "I can't go in there." "Nikita, get to your point so they can go in." "Nikita, now." " Michael, I'm going to take Terry's place.|" " Why?" "She twisted her ankle on the stairwell.|" "She's not mobile enough." "All right, Nikita, go." "Tyler, cover egress." "Terry, back to transport." "He went through the window.|" "He's back in the club." "Team 2, tighten the perimeter.|" "What about the hostages?" "Both dead." "Status of target?" "Out of range." " Are you all right?" "|" " Yes." "It was a stupid thing." "I'm sorry, Michael." "Snow, take her down to Medical." "After you check in,|" "I want to see you in my office." "What happened?" "We had a dropout after the clock started." " Who?" "|" " Terry." "She sprained her ankle coming up stairs." "We were only one layer thin?" " Yes.|" " And Bates?" "We didn't get him." "Maybe I should call NSA and tell them|we're as incompetent as they are." "Find Bates." "Sit down." "Terry sprained her ankle." "Yes, that's right." "Why didn't she report?" "I don't know.|" "Maybe she thought she could shake it off." "Did you see it?" "Not at first." "Why am I on trial here?" "|" "Why don't you just ask her?" "I will." "Right now I'm asking you." "You and Terry|have recently become friends." "Is that right?" "What's that supposed to mean?" "Terry's a veteran operative.|" "One of our best." "To date, she has never had an anomaly." "Good for her." "Are we done?" " Yes.|" " Good." "See you." " Hi.|" " Hey." " How's it feel?" "|" " It's fine." "Just a little swollen." "You did not want to go out|on that mission today." "I don't want to go out on any of them." "What's going on, Terry?" "I owe you a thanks, not an explanation." "I'm pregnant." "So, who's the father?" "It's just some guy I see|once in a while." "It's nothing serious." "Does he know?" "What would be the point?" "It's not as if|we could get married and raise a family." "So what happens now?" "|" "What are you going to do?" "I don't know." "This can't be the first time anyone's|gotten pregnant in the Section." "No, it's not." "You know Caroline,|the redhead who works in Comm.?" "About five years ago, she had a baby." "Came back to work, never talked about it.|" "Acted as if it never happened." "What about the baby?" "Nobody knows." "Maybe they just found it a good home." "Maybe." "Maybe something else." "All I know is, there's no daycare center|down there." "This is not a secret you can keep for long." "Bates has lost his hostages,|but our source informed us... he still has other deals in place|with his buyers." "What's Bates selling?" "Identities and locations|of undercover NSA agents." "They're involved in|something called the Plimpton Project." "They'll mark down his price." "The cost of|taking down the agents themselves." "When he turned, he formed a partnership|with some independent brokers." "They make his deals.|" "One of the brokers is ours." "Mick Schtoppel was brought in last year|when we took down Ilya Benko." "We forged a relationship with him|and sent him back out." "He gets us to Bates." "Good." "Smoke this down to here." "You'll be able|to smell it when the fuse is lit." "You've got 30 seconds to get rid of it." " And the charge?" "|" " Contained, but significant." "Enough to set off an alarm?" "Yeah." "It'll work, like I told you, okay?" "Have you reviewed the profile?" "I haven't completed the final." "I was|on my way to Systems to do that now." " And what about Terry?" "|" " She's getting dressed." " And her ankle?" "|" " It's gonna be fine." "Is that all?" "Can I see you over there?" "What's wrong?" "I know Terry.|" "She didn't just sprain her ankle." "What's she hiding?" " Nothing that I know of.|" " What did she talk to you about?" "When?" "In Systems." "Before last night's mission." "She seemed pretty upset." "She was... but she didn't want to tell me why.|" "I thought you might know." "No." "If something is going on with her|that could compromise her performance... then you need to tell me." "What do you want me to tell you?" "|" "I don't know what's going on." "If you doubt Terry,|then just pull her off the mission." "If I pull her off,|she'll undergo a complete reevaluation." "I'm asking you to tell me,|do I need to do that?" "I don't think that's necessary, no." " You are joking with this outfit, right?" "|" " What's wrong with it?" "We're not going|to a Section One disco party." "These people are sophisticated.|" "I mean, it's gonna reflect badly on me." "Is that sophisticated|as in terrorist, drug addict, or murderer?" " Is there a bit of spandex there?" "|" " Knock it off, Schtoppel." " What did I say?" "|" " Let's go through it one more time." "Right you are, Team Leader." "Once we've settled in,|" "I'll give you a signal." "Once the decoy is set,|you make your move to the computer." "It's a brand-new designer drug." "It is so new|it doesn't even have a name yet." "You want some?" "Look, the people you're gonna meet|are there to party." "If you're not, they're gonna wonder|what you're doing there in the first place." "Don't worry, Schtoppel.|" "We'll be real party animals." "All right." "Yeah, baby." "Have some?" "Michael, start the sequence." "You know, what you were saying earlier... was that Michael might be getting|some very interesting weapons systems." " Excuse me." "I'll be right back.|" " I'm gonna miss you, baby." "She's a juicy one, that one." "Can you just wait for one minute for me,|and don't move." "I'll be right back." " Is there a bathroom back here?" "|" " Second door." "Excuse me." "Do you know|where I can powder my nose?" "In a minute." "Someone's in there." " Okay." "Can I just wait here with you?" "|" " Sure." "Fun party." "I'm in, Birkoff." "Pull all the files with the .jb extension." "Yeah." "Anyway, as I was saying, you know,|the bloke said to me the same thing." "I said, "You say that once more,|" "I'm going to kick your head in. "" "You know, what choice did I have?" "He was looking me straight in the face.|" "I said, "I will kick your head in. "" "I mean, I did a lot of print|when I was in Spain." "But commercials,|that's what I really want to do." "Have you been to Barcelona?" "All right, we have about 20 seconds.|" "Scroll it up." " You get it?" "|" " It's all there." " Let's go.|" " I'm not going back." "What are you saying?" "I know they'll catch up with me eventually." "But I can stay hidden long enough|to have this baby and make sure it's safe." "After that, I don't care." " Do you have it?" "|" " Yeah." " Where's Terry?" "|" " She's in the bathroom." " What's she doing in there?" "|" " She had to go." "What's going on?" "Let's go." "Michael, please don't call in.|" "You know what they'll do to her." " She ran because she's scared.|" " Of what?" "She's having a baby." "Do not look at me, all right?" "|" "Just met the bird." "Just shut up, Mick." "Michael, please, she made a mistake.|" "Let's bring her back in." "She's a good operative." "We can talk to her." "Please." "Birkoff, give me a 2-kilometer infrared|centered on the house." "Schtoppel made a run for it." "Good one." "Turn left here." " There she is.|" " Stop." "Let me go, Michael!" "Let me go, please." "Where are you gonna go?" "You don't understand." "Nikita told me." "Terry, I'm sorry." "But I had to tell him." "I had no choice." " Does Operations know?" "|" " No." " You've got to inform Section, Michael.|" " Shut up, Mick." "No, the security implications alone|are staggering" " Do you want me to debrief?" "|" " No." " Get the disk to Birkoff.|" " Sure." "You do what you have to do.|" "It's your move." "So you lied to me from the beginning?" "Don't make this about loyalty|to the Section, Michael." "Because it's not about that." " You withheld information from me.|" " Yes, I did." "And until someone can convince me|that that baby's going to be safe..." "I'll tell as many lies as I have to|to protect it." "It's not doing anybody any good|for you to do Terry's bidding." "Especially not now." "Michael, please." "Do you think I'll be on my best behavior... so you can give Operations|a glowing report?" "You're a little off|on how much I value my own life... especially if I have to live it here." "Hi, Walter." "Do you know where Birkoff is?" "How the hell should I know?" "What's the matter?" "Have I done something to upset you?" "Damn." "Could somebody please send down|some three-strand?" "I've only asked for it twice." "Birkoff is probably in Systems." " Here you go.|" " Thank you." " Do you know what's wrong with Walter?" "|" " His three-year's coming up tomorrow." " What's that?" "|" " It's a review." "Never heard about that before." "You're still in the field.|" "It's for the older ops." "So what happens if he doesn't pass?" "Then he's done." " What do you mean?" "He's cancelled?" "|" " No." "They'd retire him." "What's wrong with that?" "It's not exactly the condo in Palm Springs|kind of retirement." " What kind is it?" "|" " They don't tell us." "I've just heard rumors.|" "Something on level 8." "That's all I know." " I'm heading out." "Anything else you need?" "|" " No." " So, did you tell Operations about Terry?" "|" " No." " So, what happens now?" "|" " She'll have to tell him herself." "And if she doesn't, what happens then?" "I mean, what did you do|when Simone got pregnant?" "She never was." " I thought that-|" " You were mistaken." "I'm sorry." "I shouldn't have asked." "What we know so far is this:" "Bates promised to deliver intelligence|to his organization... in the form of two NSA agents." "Unfortunately, we were unable|to intercept that play." "What we didn't know is what specifically|" "Red Cell wanted from the NSA agents." "The data we retrieved from the party|gave us the answer." "Both agents were privy|to government codes." "Our friend, Mr. Schtoppel,|was able to contact Bates." "He's meeting Bates tomorrow|at 1500 hours." "Offering up the codes in exchange|for $5 million." "We'll take Bates then." " Where's the meeting?" "|" " We won't know for a couple of hours." "The mission profile is being finalized." "Put together your team|and bring Bates down." " Alive, if possible.|" " Of course." " What you doing here?" "|" " I work here." "Didn't Michael load the mission?" "Yeah." "He asked me if I wanted to sit out,|" "I said no." "I'm getting an abortion." "Thought you said|you didn't want to do that." "Things change." "What's the most important day|of the week?" " Important for what?" "|" " Just answer the question, please." "It's either Tuesday or Thursday." "Choose one." "Tuesday." "Which would you prefer to kill:|a cat or a monkey?" "I don't know." "I guess..." "I'd probably say..." " Sir?" "|" " What is it?" " They just reached the rendezvous point.|" " And Bates?" "He thinks Schtoppel is delivering|a rogue NSA agent with intel." " Who's going in?" "|" " Terry, with Michael posed as security." "Keep me posted." "I don't know." "I guess an eyeball." "Michael, you're clean for entry." "Hello, loves." "Come in." "Finished, boys?" "Come on." "Mr. Bates is waiting." "Okay, all teams, they're in.|" "Start the sequence." "Good afternoon." "There's six out, two in, four primaries." "I'd like you to meet|a remarkable young lady, Mr. Bates." "Not only does she have|" "Level 4 clearance at the Agency... but she's worked directly|on the Plimpton Project." " What about the security codes?" "|" " That's the best thing" "I don't need the codes.|" "I wrote the program." "You can log in as admin|and get whatever you need." "I mean, isn't that fantastic?" "That'll be enough, Michael." "If I have to kill you to save my baby,|" "I'll do it." "You know I will." "What's she doing?" "Team 2, go to north egress." "I'm sorry, Michael.|" "There's been a little change in the agenda." "He didn't have a choice." "The Section doesn't care about new life." " What was going to happen to my baby?" "|" " What do you think he's going to do?" "After the baby's safe,|" "I'll tell him whatever he wants to know." "I'm sure he'll kill me." "This is all very touching." "But it's time to go." " No!" "|" " No?" "The deal was no one dies." " I know, but...|" " Then the deal's off." "Are we all happy now?" " Yeah, sure.|" " Let's go." "Are you gonna kill me, Terry?" "If I have to." "Put down the gun, Bates.|" "Maybe you can make a deal." "I know all about the deals|" "Section One makes." "Don't be such a cynic, Bates." " I mean, I was in a tight spot once-|" " Shut up!" "Fine." "I don't need you alive, Bates." "Yeah." "It wasn't supposed to be this way." "I was just trying to protect my baby." "Hey, sugar." "How you doing?" "Is this a gorgeous night or what?" "Hi, Walter." "Want to come in, see my new nightscope?" "Maybe some other time." "I'll be here." "I gather the review went well." "They can't touch me." "How's the leg?" "It's all right." "So what's going to happen to Terry?" "They'll have to wait until the baby's born." "And the baby?" "No one knows." "You know, I went to see Terry|this morning." "And I saw you leaving." "And you think I'm the father?" "Are you?" "No."
