" Get back." " Oxygen!" "Somebody help us out, please!" "Now." "Move back." "Move back." "No, leave that one." "He's too far gone." "It's a clean wound." "It'll hold for a while." "Who else is hurt?" "Everyone." " Back off, Kurtzman." " Go to hell, Olivier!" "If you would have listened to someone for one second... this whole thing could have been avoided." "Thanks for proving my point, moron." " You're out of control." " You want some more?" "You make things worse." "You put your girlfriend here in second position to save her ass." "Three more died because of that stroke of genius!" "Evaluate the wounded and prioritize." "Kurtzman, bring me a report as soon as it's ready." "When does the Alpha mission break?" "It's supposed to go out in three days." "We're not ready." "We've got two go teams in the far east." "We can bring them in." "Supplement them from below with reserves." " That won't cut it." " Why not?" "The Alpha mission in Brasilia is about to go active." "All right." "We've got a group in Chad." "In fact, we may have a Level Five there." "We do." "Berenger." "I don't want to leave that area exposed." "We can only work with what we got." "Attrition has put us in a bad situation." "This is not an attrition issue." "We lack hands-on leadership." " What are you saying?" " You know what I'm saying." "What do you want to hear?" "Michael and Nikita are gone." "We've pushed all of our sources and we still can't find them." "I don't accept that." "They're out there." "Thanks." "We have to move." "Did you get us some money?" "I found a dead drop account Red Cell uses in reserve." "How much?" "$12,000." "Any more, they'll notice." "You ever been to Reykjavik?" "I narrowed the search space, like you said." "If Michael and Nikita are funneling terrorist accounts... then the projections show they'll end up at one of these places." "That can't be right." "Why not?" "You've been running this since they left." "We couldn't narrow it down to under 500 geographical areas." "Suddenly, you add a parameter to the sample space... and it goes down to 20." "I know." "It's as if they wanted us to find them." "I'm surprised." "About what?" "I'm still not getting used to you." "You will." "I like it." "I don't want it to change." "After two or three more bounces, we should be able to settle in for a while." "How long?" "Three or four months." "Four months in one place." "That's a lifetime." "Where do you want to go?" "An island somewhere." "How about Rhodes?" "Why Rhodes?" "There's a restaurant on the south end of the island." "It's run by a family I once helped." "Old life?" "No." "Section." "Do they know that you helped them?" "No." "I just love it when I'm right about you." "Any problem?" "Didn't ask for ID." "What are we waiting for?" "We're surrounded." "Moving collateral." "Yes." "Should we use the car?" "We won't get 10 feet." "I've got three grenades." "We could carve out a path." "Highway's less than a kilometer." "No." "There'll be another day." "They're here." " Where have you put them?" " Four west." "They're to be treated well." "I agree." " But they can't be trusted." " They never could." "Not from the moment she arrived." "There's a bond between them that can only be broken one way." "Which one?" "Nikita." "I disagree." "Michael's more valuable." "You know that." "Whichever one we let live will never forgive us." "We let them make the choice." "What's the difference?" "Eventually, the survivor will need to anchor." "They will want to believe in us." "But they'll need justification." "Plausible deniability." "Yes." "Nikita." "It has to be this way." "No." "Let them kill us both." "They won't do that." "They need one of us." "We should both live." "You know they won't let that happen." "If they cancel you..." "I won't want to live." "I'll step in front of the first bullet shot at me." "No, you won't." "I'll need you after I'm gone." "What does that mean?" "Adam." "You're the only one I can trust." "That's something that you should do yourself." "After I'm canceled they'll induce... so you're not suicidal." "After some time passes, you'll be brought back." "It won't be as painful as you think." "You can live without me... a lot better than I can live without you." "No." "Hello, Michael." "I'd prefer a bullet." "A bullet." "Nikita was right." "You'll get over her death." "She'll never be able to get over yours." "This is just to help you get through it." "No!" "No!" "And Michael?" "You got your wish." "He's going to live." "Give her a full charge." "Pain is not the goal here." "Not yet." "Send him in." "Someone would like to say goodbye." "Hey, sugar." "It's okay." "Walter." "How can you do this?" "You have no right!" "You have no right!" "It's time to leave, Walter." "Walter." "It's all right." "I don't mind." "It's okay." "All right." "What's wrong?" "I don't know." "Stokes, what's going on?" "Sir, I have no idea." "All the internal online systems have shut down." "All we have left is basal power and communications." "How could that be?" "I don't know, sir." "Yes?" "Sir, you have an incoming call from Mr. Jones." "Paul, this is Jones." "Yes?" "I've neutralized Section for a while." "I'll explain when I see you." "When you see me?" "Yes." "I'm en route." "I'll be there, shortly." "Is this about George?" "Canceling a supervisor without my approval was a mistake." "But I've reviewed your debrief." "I'm going to overlook the anomaly." "Then, if you don't mind, what is this about?" "You just have to be patient, Paul." "It doesn't bode well for Section One." "Why do you say that?" "Have you ever met anyone who has seen Mr. Jones?" "Just George." "And he's dead." "I see your point." "Protect himself and the agencies." "Anonymity." "So if he shows himself now, either he's planning to step down... or he has other plans." "It's unlikely he's coming here to announce his retirement." "Mr. Jones is here to see you, sir." "Send him in." " Mick Shtoppel?" " To a few, yeah." "But, why?" "Well, I needed to investigate Section One." "Call me a hands-on manager." "I have to see things with my own eyes." "Touch them with my own hands." "And Mick, well, he allowed me to do that." "Didn't he?" "You were picked through Ilya Benko." " You were his gofer." " Yes." "Simply building a resume." "I knew that Section would never employ Mick as an informant... if he wasn't established." "But it's hard to believe that old Mick was just fiction... 'cause he was the life of the party." "I mean, he was, wasn't he?" "Mick wasn't enough." "You had to have someone on the inside." "Of course I did." "And no, it wasn't either of you two." "Then, who?" "Ready when you are, sir." "Nikita." "She works for me at Cll." "My cover was thorough, hers, unprecedented." "You're looking at the best of the best." " When did she start working for you?" " Three years ago." "I recruited her during her leave from Section." "I knew she was the only one that would cooperate." "Why?" "I chose Nikita because of her free will... and her sufficient disdain for Section One." "Well." "I think it's time to get started." "Hey, Nikita !" "What's going on?" "It's okay." "We'll talk later." "Hey, Jas." "What's coming down here?" "It's evaluation time." "Evaluating what?" "Everyone, everything." " Who's doing the evaluating, Operations?" " I don't know too much." "Though you better get your house in order." "Make sure your inventory's checked." "Yeah, but wait a minute." "I've got something to show you." "What is it?" "It's about your girlfriend, Naomi." "She's Section." "She came off the bench right after you went to Center." "Started helping in Comm." "She's been playing you right from the get-go." "I'm sorry." "You're going to be okay?" "Please, sit down." "I'll just be a moment." "Sorry." "On January 10 of last year..." "Operations abdicated control of Section... for 26 minutes, based on a recommendation by you." "I'm not familiar with the date, but if you say so." "It was an unfortunate decision." "If you recall... we ended up sustaining loss of life because of his absence." "Yes, I remember." "It was two operatives." "Both Level One." "Frankly, I don't know if the two incidents were related." "Maybe not." "How dare you two have the presumption... to judge my contribution to... this organization on one single event." "It's not the event." "It's the relationship between... you and Paul that concerns us." "You two do not complement each other." "I really don't need to hear what some... ad hoc internal affairs bimbo thinks of my work." "Get to the punch line." " If you insist." " No." "We discussed this, Nikita." "Then you know where I stand." "It's not the way." "There's no place for her here." "Maybe not in Section, but she does have assets." " Is this a personal plea?" " Yes." "You understand this decision... is mine... and mine alone." "No." "You understand..." "I'll make my own decision regarding my fate." "I shall miss her fortitude." "Housekeeping, please." "I want to show you something." "Are you going to tell me why you brought me here?" "Why don't you tell me?" "Let me guess." "You want to make a point." "Very good." "And what's the point?" "Please." "Spare me the cliches." "The innocent children, the future... the need to protect them both." "I wrote that speech, remember?" "Did you mean it?" "Of course I meant it." "You're a ruthless man, Paul." "That's good." "You do your job with clarity." "I respect that." "But children and terrorists are not the same." "You've abstracted them." "And killing one to save 100 is not always right." "George learned that." "That's why you had a problem with him." "Turned out to be his problem." "Not if you want the post that he left vacant." "You do want Oversight, don't you?" "What do you want me to say?" "I'll water my compassion so you can see it grow?" "I'm sorry, you're not ready." "You'll stay in Section... where your status will be reviewed in seven years." "Because I lack compassion?" "Because you lack the good judgment... that comes from having a small dose of it, Paul." "What about the compassion I showed you, time after time?" "Compassion for me?" "Madeline once tried to convince me that you were my father." "I never knew my father." "But I know that he would never have sentenced his own daughter to death... more than once." "I had a job to do and you more than deserved it." "I don't disagree with you, Paul." "But Oversight requires a different... skill set than Section One." "And until you master those skills... those skills..." "Section's where you'll stay." "So what do you feel about all this, Walter?" "A bit betrayed, how do you think?" "That's good." "Why good?" "Because you were betrayed." "You have a firm grasp on reality." "Then what the hell am I doing here?" "It's an evaluation." "Then why don't we save each other the trouble." "We both know that I broke every rule in the book helping you and Michael." " Why did you help us?" " You don't know?" "I'd like you to tell me." "I loved you." "I love you, too." "But that has nothing to do with why we're here." "You said it yourself, this place has to change." "To do that means to make some difficult choices." "What I don't understand is, you used to come to me to confide." "You used to ask my advice." "Now if you were doing that just to figure out who I was... why did you keep coming back after you knew?" "You kept me grounded." "When you go undercover for as long as I did... you have to find a center." "A place you can stay anchored so you don't drift." "You were my center." "Well, isn't this great?" "I was just starting to get comfortable disliking you." "Don't get too comfortable, you haven't heard my recommendation." "You've committed too many violations... against the charter for me to allow you to continue in your present position." "I'm transferring you to the Farm." " The Farm?" " You're going to become a teacher." "Oh, come on." "I am going to miss you, Walter." "Who's going to call me "sugar"?" "Goodbye, Walter." "So long." "Sugar." " Jason." " Come in." "When did you find out?" "Doesn't matter." " I'm sorry." " Don't be." "I enjoy my work." "In fact, I've never had such clarity in my life." " You don't really mean that." " I do." "You saved me, Naomi, from the corporate world." "A world I never did feel comfortable in." "I want you to know something." "Those times we spent together... they did mean something." "I'll never forget them." "You may return to your post." "Come in, Michael." "Michael Samuelle." "Brought into Section One 10 years ago." "Graduated training nine months early, moved directly to Level Three." "Your continual ascent within the organization... was due not only to your tactical and strategic abilities." "There was something primal about your approach." "You have shown otherworldly disregard for your own well-being." "More than anyone else you have been true... to the highest principles that define this organization, Michael." "That's not true." "I betrayed Section." "I've put your well-being ahead of everything else." "I have no choice but to recommend your cancellation." " Is there an abeyance mission pending?" " Yes." "Thank you." "So you understand how this has to play out?" "Michael cannot survive." "That's right." "I'm going to give you Jason to assist on the Comm." "You mean Seymour, don't you?" "No, Seymour's dead." " You understand why I did it?" " Of course." "If you hadn't accommodated, you'd have been canceled." "My work's done here, Mr. Jones." "Good job." "I'll see you back at Center." "Teams Three and Four will fall back for the retreat." "Michael, you'll proceed alone to the engagement area." "By this point, you will have triggered their security." "We've estimated 10 to 15 hostiles... with orders to kill anything that moves." "You'll be wearing a suicide vest with one pound of C4 explosives... thermal detonator." "Once the engagement has commenced... you'll have a window of 30 seconds." "You'll take this route all the way to the target area." " Won't that approach be blocked?" " No." "It dead-ends." "And there's no retreat." "Then, how does Michael get out?" "Check your panels... you'll leave in 15." "Just wait here for a minute." "Take that with you, Michael." " What is it?" " Solvents and a compressor." "You can get through a 3-foot wall." "Dig yourself out before the detonation." "Thank you." "Michael's at his first mark." "Teams One and Two, disengage." "Michael, 75 meters... you have 20 seconds to hit your next mark." "At second mark." "Hold." "Okay, go." "Proceed to final mark." "I'm at the door." "He's at his final mark." "Okay, Michael." "We detonate in 50 seconds." "Go." "I thought someone should use Walter's little bag of tricks." "Let's go." "We're clear." "Four minutes." "Then we'll be in range of Map C-2." "Why did you break protocol?" "I wasn't ready to see you die." "Are you out?" "No." "I got to go back." "But you can make it." "This will jam their frequency long enough to get you out of the hemisphere." "Take it." "What about you?" "I'll be all right." "I got a card to play." "They owe me this one." "Come with me." "I can't." "Is that what you want?" "I don't love you." "I never did."
