"It's not him." "I think he's still in the Embassy." "You're probably right." " Nikita, anything?" " No." "He's not here." "He's not leaving the Embassy today." "We'll try again tomorrow." "Let's assume counter surveillance." "Use your alternate routes." "Meet back at the Section." "Where you goin'?" " Let me buy you a beer." " No thanks." "Excuse me." "What's the matter?" "I'm not good enough for you?" "No no, I didn't say that." "I said excuse me." " Don't patronize me, bitch." " I don't like that word." "I'm gonna hurt you." "Do what I want, and I won't kill you." "There's only one thing to do with garbage like you." " Flush." " No!" "Don't" "See?" "Now you know what kind of man you are." "Do we know why Tossi missed his morning jog?" "It hasn't been confirmed yet, but we think there was an unscheduled green door meeting with the ambassador." "Or maybe he's become more cautious now that Elder is arriving." " Is that our end game?" " Yes." "You notice there's no artwork on Elder." "None exists." "What we do know is he's the former head of the Temro Yugoslavian death squad." "He's been in exile, but plans to return to the Balkans." "He intends to destabilize and gain control during the chaos." "Tossi provides him with everything, from passports to end user certificates." "Tossi gets us Elder." "We try again tomorrow." " I'm sorry." " Where've you been?" "There was an incident." " An incident?" " It was unrelated aggression." " Was there exposure?" " I don't think so." " You don't think so?" " No." "There was none." "Birkoff will bring you up to speed." " What kind of aggression?" " Some guy tried to rape me." " Did you kill him?" " No." "I should be briefed." "Are you all right?" "Yeah." "Got worked over by a pro." "Real commando stuff." "Busted nose, bruised abdomen." "Looks like he'll be pissing blood for a month." "What's his name?" "Jack Crane." "He claims he was mugged and robbed." " By whom?" " Some woman." "But the witness who called it in has a different story." "She says Crane instigated the assault, and it backfired on him." "Where's she?" "She ran." "Carrie's working up a composite of her now." "Detective O'Brien?" "I think you should see this." "Six inch flat head screwdriver with a flare tip." "Same kind that killed those eight women." "Grab him!" "Hey, hey, hey, hey!" "Where do you think you're going?" "You got nothing on me!" "I'm a victim." "She assaulted me!" "You save that crap for your lawyers, 'cause I know exactly who you are, and I'm gonna make sure that you suffer while you wait to die." "You must have me confused with somebody else." "I'm sure that happens all the time." "Take him in!" "On what charge?" "What charge?" "!" "The rape and murder of eight women." "You got nothing on me!" "He's right, man." "I mean, we could bring him in, ...but without the woman he attacked, we can't hold him very long." "Okay, then let's find her." "Let's take a look." " Thanks for the binoculars." " Anytime, any place any position." " What's shakin', sugar?" " I have a problem." "Really?" " Police are looking for me." " Don't let 'em find you." "They're gonna want me to testify, Walter." "You can't." "I might not be given that choice." "Now listen." "Nothing spooks Operations more than a nosey cop, ...so untangle yourself, now, before they do it for you." " What were you doing?" " I was just returning some equipment." " Why did you need equipment?" " It's not important." "Okay." "Michael, I just wanted to follow up on the guy that attacked me." " And?" " It's fine." "Everything's okay." "Really." "I'll see you in the morning." "I'm stuffed." "Anyone knows where the schrimp is?" "Here." "It's all gone." "Kevin!" "You're bad!" "Anybody want another beer?" " Couldn't resist." " OK." "Here, let me help." "You're done?" " You need a hand in there?" " Yeah." "Oh I didn't know what I was saying." "Yeah, thought so." "So you two going away for the weekend?" "Yeah we're going to the lake." "His parents have a cottage up there." "Sounds like fun." "They're going to be there." "I'm meeting them for the first time." "Mmm, getting serious." "I hope so." "I like him you know." "I mean, it's only been a couple of weeks but it's relaxed, it's..." "I'm not pretending to be someone I'm not." "No rush on that beer, huh?" "Time to feed the animals." "Here comes Tossi." "All teams start sequencing." "My apologies for disrupting your morning." "Cannot be avoided, I'm sure." "We're not unaware of your importance or the privileges you enjoy as a high-ranking member of your Embassy." "That must explain the extraordinary lengths you've gone to, to make me feel at home." "Mr. Tossi, you do business with a known terrorist and murderer, Leon Elder." "We would like your help to retrieve him." "After that, you will be returned to the Embassy unharmed." "I can't help you." "You can." "And you will." "Where are you meeting Elder?" "Did you saturate?" "Any more and it would have killed him." "You're a very strong man, Mr. Tossi." "What's that on your neck?" "Remove his shirt." "A burn scar." "From the coloration, it appears to have happened when you were very young." "Your meeting with Mr. Elder." "Where and when?" "Butane torch." "No!" "Please!" "He's meeting Elder tomorrow afternoon in the lobby of the Galleria." "Does anyone else at the Embassy know of his involvement with Elder?" " He says no." " Good." " Yes?" " Detective Marko O'Brien." " I'd like to talk to you if I may." " About what?" "Can I come in?" "How can I help?" "I'm, um... investigating a crime that took place on the 19th." "A woman was assaulted by a man that we believe to be a murder suspect." "So... what's that got to do with me?" "I think you're that woman." "Me?" " No, it wasn't me." " No?" "Boy it sure looks like you." "Well, it isn't." " I have a witness." " So talk to her." "We need you." "He's gonna do this again." "So stop him." " Where do you work?" " I'm between jobs." " Why are you being so evasive?" " Look, Detective," "I don't mean to be rude, but I value my privacy." "Unless I'm obligated..." "All right, all right." "Okay." "I'm sorry." "You're right." "I really don't mean to be pushy, but, uh..." "No?" "Well, I'm a little confused here, 'cause" "You're obviously not afraid of this guy, so why won't you help me put him away?" "Detective, you've got the wrong person." "Okay, let's- let's just say that you were someplace you weren't suppose to be," "Um... you know, maybe you've got a record." "I'll cover for you." "I won't give them your name." "Everything will be sealed." "No." "Why?" "I mean, you've gotta give me a reason!" "Something!" "You can't just say no!" "Look, look." "These are his victims, okay?" "Now, I've been after this guy for six months." "I haven't got a witness because they are all dead!" "Please, will you help me?" "I'm sorry." "If you walk away, you're his accomplice." "You don't have the right to speak to me like that." "You should be ashamed." "You can keep the pictures." "This is Langley." "How may I route your call?" "9-0-1-9." "Priority Tango, Poppa." "Hold while I connect your call." " This is John." " Johnny?" "It's Marco." "Hi, Mark." "What's up?" "Listen." "I'm shooting you off a print as we speak." "Can you work it up for me?" "Doesn't it pull on your system?" "Yeah, it does, but I don't trust what I'm seeing." "Why not?" "It's giving me a Mary Sunshine." "This girl's anything but." " I'll do what I can." " Thanks, John." "Kevin, hey!" " Hi!" "Is Carla here?" " No." "Oh, she lent me her tools." "I just wanted to return them." "Oh, you just leve them here." "I'll give 'em to her." " So what are you up to?" " Nothing much, just stuff." " Cool." "You want some company?" " Not today, Kevin." "You know, Carla and I, um..." "There's nothing there." "It's not serious." "Really?" "She seems to think it is." "That's her take." " Got any beer?" " Sure." "Carla's OK... we have some laughs." "She's not my type." "So... what's your type?" "You." "You're my type." "Me?" "Well..." " Kevin." "You're not mine." " Never know 'till you try." "You hit on the wrong girl, the wrong day, Kevin." "Now, this is what you're gonna do." "You're gonna call Carla at work and tell her what you just told me." "Right." "That you're not really serious about her." "That it's nothing there." "Got it?" "Yeah." "Got it." "I'll give her the tools." "Your task is simple." "You'll be seated in a lobby until Elder arrives." "When you see him, motion him to you." "Once he's within our radius, we'll take him." "What about the people around?" " Let us worry about that." " I'm worried about it now." "He'll have enough back up to launch an invasion." "Stay close to our people and you'll be fine." " We're ready." " Where's Nikita?" "She's with first team." "They'll be in place soon." " Second team's coming in." " I've got the north approach covered." "Have someone stand point near the restaurant entrance." "Got it." "Here comes Tossi." " One." " On mark." " Two." " On mark." " Three." " On mark." "Hello..." "Nikita." " Oh!" "What are you doing here?" " I came here to see you." " What's going on?" " It's not a good time." "I tell ya, you sure look good for someone who killed herself in prison three years ago." " Who is he, Nikita?" " A cop" " He's a cop." "Talking to someone?" "Detective, I'm with security, and we're working, now." "Actually waiting for some very important..." "dignitaries to arrive." "Oh, you're probably talking to another member of your security team." " That's right." " Right." "Deal with him." "Do it." "Let's just cut right through it, okay?" "Who the hell are you?" " I told you." " No, you haven't." "You haven't told me anything." "You're harassing me, detective." "Please, leave." "Two and four, cover Nikita's flank." "Primary team, reduce your radius." "Go." "I know you're involved in some deep cover." "I don't want to interfere." "But, that does not empower you to impede my investigation." "For the last time, you've got the wrong person." "We'll do it your way." "But I'm turning you over to the DA ...and I'm gonna lean on him until he calls you in as a hostile witness." "I'm not gonna quit." "You are gonna testify." " Excuse me." " What?" "Could you come with me please?" "We're spread too thin." "Abort." " You heard about the Galleria?" " I heard." " Where's Operations?" " In his office." "Does he want to see me?" "No, he doesn't." "Walter..." "Look, sugar, I've..." "got a ton of stuff to do, okay?" "Ok." "Michael?" "What's going on?" "Elder's been located." "We go tomorrow night." "What about the police detective?" " It'll be taken care of." " Michael?" " I've been expecting you." " What was I supposed to do?" "I was attacked!" "I defended myself!" "I didn't come forward, he found me!" " You lied." " I didn't!" "Somebody saw you and you knew it." "All right." "Okay." "I thought I could take care of it myself." "You cut your finger, you take care of it yourself." "That cop should never have found you." "If you'd been straight with us, we could have made sure that never happened." "How?" "We would've relocated you." "We would've given that cop what he wanted." "Everyone would've been protected." "That's what we do here." "But now we have very few options and none of them are pleasant." " What are you going to do?" " It's under discussion." "Madeline, will you give me a chance?" " To do what?" " I know how to fix this." " Do you?" " Yes." " I should have you arrested." " What's the point?" "I'm dead, remember?" "Is this how you do it in the covert world, or whatever world it is you live in?" " O'Brien, I want to help you." " Well, suddenly you wanna help me." "Not in the way you think." " I can't testify." " Then you can't help me." " There's a lot at stake." " You know what's at stake here?" "Innocent women are being raped and murdered, and you wanna" "And you wanna try and tell me about the bigger picture?" " I've got people to answer to, O'Brien." " So do I!" "They say "Detective O'Brien, have you found the man that raped and murdered my wife yet?" "." Or, "Detective O'Brien, my little girl can't go to sleep because she has nightmares that the man who killed mommy is gonna kill her." "Please." "Please help me."" "The voices are not gonna go away until Crane is off the streets permanently." " I can stop the voices, O'Brien." " How?" "You have to forget that I ever existed." " In exchange for what?" " I can make him... disappear." "Hello?" "Yeap." "I'm there." "I gotta go." "So, how about it, Detective?" "Can we help each other?" "I pretend you don't exist, and you kill my suspect." "I wish I could, Nikita." "I really do." "You're in the wrong place." "This is a private area." "Go." "Nikita, Birkoff, we're going in." "Stand by to start sequencing." "Sequence is loaded." "And holding." "Units 3 and 7, I'm pushing your marks west." "Check for your new coordinates." " Nikita." " What?" "What's going on with you and this cop?" " Nothing." " That's not what I hear." "What did you hear?" "Nothing." "Birkoff, I'm here." "Nikita, are 5 and 7 in position?" "Elder!" "Hello, Mr. Elder." "I trust we will have your full cooperation while you're here with us." "Do you want him interrogated?" "Yes, but..." "let him spend some time with Madeline first." " Are we debriefing?" " No." "You have a mess to clean up first." "I'll go get ready." " Hey, Marco." " What's up, Del?" " DA just called." "They're not gonna proceed against Crane with just the old lady's testimony." " Big surprise." " That's not the bad news." " Crane's gone." " What?" "There was no activity for 24 hours." "Our surveillance team checked it out." "Flew the coop." "Took everything." "Sorry man." " Yeah?" " I got something for you, Detective." " Who is this?" " A friend of Jack Crane's." " Where is he?" " Come alone." " Where?" " Trace this call." "Crane?" "Crane?" "He's dead." "Turn around slowly." "Turn... around slowly." "Drop it." "Drop it!" "The police are on their way to arrest you for the murder of Jack Crane." "You just killed him." "Why are you doing this to me?" "You gave me no choice." "I tried to tell you." "So I spend the rest of my life in prison?" "Is that the way you people handle things?" "No." "This is my way of trying to keep you alive." "Well, why don't you just shoot me?" "I'd rather be dead." "I'm gonna give you a choice." "You can stay here, and end up facing murder charges." "The evidence is overwhelming, you'll be convicted." " Or, you can come with me." " Come with you?" "Where?" "A place." "A place?" "You gotta give me a little more than that." "No, I can't." "Not yet." "Come." "Come with me." " Hello." " Hello?" " What is this place?" " This is Section One." "This is where you'll train." "This is where you'll learn." "After two years, if you survive, you'll work for us." "What if I refuse your generous offer?" "What are you gonna do?" "You gonna pop me right here?" "You gonna throw me back out?" "Face the frame up?" "That option no longer exists." "You won't get away with this." "There'll be people out there looking for me." " They won't find you." " Oh, yeah." "They will." "I've got a friend that works at the CIA." "Mr. Shaw no longer works at the CIA." "You will learn to take advantage of the weaknesses of your opponents, among other things." "You can start tomorrow morning. 5:00 AM." "Oh, Carla." "Good." "Congratulations." "He accepted our offer." " What's the matter?" " He's a good man." "A good cop." "If I'd done things differently, he'd still be out there now." "It's not him you're upset about." "It's you." "You're finding out something about yourself I'd suspected for quite some time." "Really?" "And what's that?" "You're one of us." "I'll never be one of you."
