"And you are?" "Well, just call me the real Mr. Jones." "I met my father." "He's the Head." "He's Mr. Jones?" "There's a mole in Section." "Yes." "Who?" "Well, that is what you and I have to discover." "You're under arrest." "Are you mad?" "Focus on O'Brien." "And that is an order." "Someone's leaking Intel." "Who do you think?" "It's not my style to betray the people that I work with." "He's not the mole." "JONES:" "Paul is in custody." "O'Brien has just been killed." "Well, who is it then?" "Michael Samuelle?" "Yes." "Oh." "You're really here to join us?" "There's a condition." "There's a Section Operative named Nikita." "All right." "Nikita will live and Section will die." "JONES:" "What about the grid back trace?" "NIKITA:" "Nothing so far." "If we don't find the mole soon," "Section will cease to be effective." "And what ceases to be effective ceases to exist." "So, we still have Operations, Quinn, O'Brien, Walter." "Now, is there anyone else we've overlooked?" "Me." "No, you were cleared before you were allowed to find me." "Anyone else?" "No." "Really?" "VATOS doesn't agree." "VATOS?" "It's a rather unusual computer program we now have which makes strikingly accurate predictions." "It predicted the mole?" "Yes." "Lately, it's led to a surprising conclusion as to his identity." "Michael Samuelle." "Michael died on an abeyance mission." "Yes." "Anyone actually see him die?" "No." "Well, perhaps he escaped." "It's quite possible." "I'm due in Section." "Stay." "The Zagreb mission preps this morning." "I've postponed it till this afternoon." "I really am concerned about Michael Samuelle." "I want you to take charge personally." "If you find him alive, eliminate him." "Zagreb was pushed back four hours." "I know." "I didn't authorize that." "The directive came from Center." "So, Jones is setting our board now?" "In this case, apparently so." "Send Nikita to The Perch." "We'll have to reassign personnel." "Nikita's in Center" "at the request of Mr. Jones." "She should be here prepping for Zagreb." "How am I supposed to maintain chain of command if she doesn't have to obey my orders?" "What would you like me to do?" "Nothing." "I'll handle it myself." "OPERATIONS:" "Our Serbian substation intercepted a communique originating from The Collective." "It referenced their near term," ""Strategic strike array."" "This is the headquarters for Quexxar Industries," "The Collective's tech-front for eastern region activities." "The array is stored in a stand-alone hard drive on the third floor." "I'm sorry I'm late." "Retrieving the array will set The Collective back six weeks at least." "Nikita will lead." "You leave in one hour." "I was detained at Center." "So I understand." "Would you like the mission postponed further so you can get up to speed?" "I'll study the panel in transit." "You're sure?" "Yes." "You're clear." "Downloading in progress." "All quiet." "Start egress." "NIKITA:" "I'm on my way." "Hostiles." "QUINN:" "Switch to Egress Three." "Specify Egress Three." "Quinn?" "Quinn?" "Quinn!" "You tried to kill me." "What are you talking about?" "There was no Egress Three on my panel." "It was a late addition." "Perhaps you missed it." "Why didn't you answer me when I asked for help?" "I detected a tap on the frequency." "Describing the egress could've endangered the whole team." "You're lying." "I waste my time talking to you." "Calm down." "I've been calm long enough." "Sugar..." "If you had been on time for the briefing, you wouldn't have gotten confused." "You'd have found another way." "You had the disk." "Killing you would've sabotaged the mission." "I think you hate me enough to pay that price." "That's nonsense." "You want me dead." "At least have the guts to do it face to face." "If I thought you had the guts enough to give it to me loaded," "I'd be tempted." "This is intolerable." "I couldn't agree more." "I'll call Jones, demand an Article Three." "One of us lives, one of us dies." "Just tell me when and where." "I hope this isn't premature." "I don't think so." "It's time Daddy found out some hard facts about his precious little girl." "The contingency was on the panels." "Not mine." "JONES:" "Why was a contingency required?" "We detected a security anomaly." "Is it on the tapes?" "Masked." "Because lately The Collective knows our protocols as well as we do." "Are you blaming the mole?" "Yes." "And I know who the mole is." "Michael Samuelle." "Samuelle is supposed to be dead." "No." "Because now The Collective is using a number of his maneuvers that he specialized in." "He survived abeyance and changed sides." "I'm sure of it." "Yes, I had already come to that conclusion." "A step ahead, as usual, except perhaps for this." "Do you know how he survived?" "Nikita helped him escape." "Nikita, is this true?" "Yes, it is." "Paul, return to Section." "Change all protocols above Three." "That process is already underway." "Good." "Contact Oversight." "Synchronize their tracking systems personally." "And Nikita?" "You have your orders." "Just carry them out." "Graff." "Look." "Activate Subchannel Three." "From Michael?" "Who else?" "He usually employs Subchannel Seven." "Well, this time he's using Three." "Activate." "Have the entire cell maintain readiness." "It would've been better if you told me about Michael yourself." "I couldn't." "No, I suppose not." "Well, I could've overlooked it." "But the others won't." "The others?" "Nikita, I am head of Center." "I'm not a king." "I have colleagues, they have to be informed." "Michael Samuelle will be hunted down." "And as for you, we'll have to see, won't we?" "Michael's not the mole." "You don't deny that he's alive?" "I don't even deny that he's been helping The Collective." "The question is, why?" "All right, why?" "To learn as much as he can about them and use it to buy his way back into Section." "You mean to come back to you?" "Michael has a son." "Adam." "Only Section knows where Adam is." "All right." "Suppose I agree." "What do you suggest I do?" "Wait." "I can't wait." "We are losing, Nikita." "We are losing very, very badly." "Two failures for every success." "When the time is right, he will come back." "It will be worth the wait." "Do you know what you're asking me to do?" "No more than you've asked of me." "HALED:" "It's all here." "GRAFF:" "Michael's back online." "HALED:" "What is it?" "An address?" "No, but..." "The first two could be sets of coordinates." "And what's the third set mean?" "Altitude." "OPERATIONS:" "Quinn." "QUINN:" "Yes?" "Set a briefing for all substation heads." "And route all communications through red lines only." "MAN:" "We have contact." "What batteries do we have in range?" "Govak is the closest." "All right, notify the Commander." "Transmit target data and go hot in thirty seconds." "SINCLAIR:" "Sir." "What is it?" "I'm working." "Sir, we've been painted." "Status?" "Evasive techniques employed." "Are we still painted?" "I can't be sure." "Quinn, can you hear me?" "I hear you." "What's wrong?" "Ground to air." "I need a remote diagnostic now." "QUINN:" "I have you on my screen." "Path is stabilizing." "OPERATIONS:" "Diagnostic!" "I'm calling it up." "Hurry!" "There's a pattern shift." "We'll have to wait." "There's no time." "Override." "QUINN:" "I did." "It won't be long." "Sinclair, status?" "SINCLAIR:" "There's damage to the rudder." "Will it fly?" "She'll fly as long as..." "Sinclair?" "We're painted again." "OPERATIONS:" "What's the diagnostic, Quinn?" "Just came online." "The Collective controls an installation in Govak." "Suggest heading 055." "Sinclair, do you copy?" "Sinclair?" "Sinclair!" "Paul, are you all right?" "Paul, are you all right?" "JONES:" "The plane exploded here." "12,000 feet." "Operations got out in time, his transponder is working and shows signs of movement." "I'll contact Section, send a team immediately." "Afraid it won't be as simple as that." "Present indications show that" "The Collective was responsible." "Well, he went down in their territory, which means, of course, that they'll get to him first." "They don't know his transponder frequency." "Unless, of course, Michael gives it to them." "He won't." "You do realize, don't you, that if they capture Paul alive, this is the end of Section?" "It won't happen." "Trust me." "I'll gather a team." "Go." "Nikita?" "Do remember, for what it's worth, that you're not only carrying your own future in your hands." "Do remember that." "We found the main body of the plane." "There's only one corpse." "The pilot." "GRAFF:" "Satellite Intel suggests the man they call Operations ejected before the explosion." "And I want him alive." "HALED:" "So ask your friend Michael for the transponder frequency." "GRAFF:" "Establish a search pattern and I'll get in touch with you soon." "Don't shoot." "I need help." "Are your parents around?" "It's market day." "I've had an accident." "I need food, water." "I'll pay you." "With what?" "I have money in my wallet." "Paper?" "Yes." "No." "A watch." "Very special." "It's a Rolex." "You ever heard of Rolex?" "Leave it on the table." "Closing in." "I estimate 20 minutes." "Can you describe the target?" "JONES:" "It looks like a small farmhouse in a clearing." "But anyway, you're too late." "A scan shows another team 15 kilometers ahead of you." "Almost certain to be The Collective." "Operations will have to hold them off." "With what?" "He'll have a pistol, at most." "He's in a cabin eight kilometers from town." "GRAFF:" "Approach quietly." "Don't give him a chance to kill himself." "Where did you get this?" "A man came here." "He bought bread." "Graff." "GRAFF:" "Do you have Operations?" "If he's a 12-year-old boy, yes." "Otherwise, we have his watch." "I'll ask Michael for the rescue protocol." "You've got to move more quickly." "MAN:" "What's going on?" "Who are you?" "Go on." "Get out of here." "Run!" "Nikita, I've a flare." "I'm downloading the coordinates to you." "NIKITA:" "Optic reading?" "4,600 angstroms." "That means Cesium." "Protocol Five." "Understood." "Let's go." "JONES:" "Nikita." "If we know, so does The Collective." "It's a trap." "I don't think so." "Well, don't tell me you still believe Michael." "He gave them the transponder frequency." "NIKITA:" "He knew Operations would abandon the watch." "He won't give the escape protocol." "Nikita." "I'm proceeding." "Nikita!" "Incoming message." "Subchannel Seven." "That's excellent." "That is excellent." "We're on mark." "Let's go." "Protocol Eight." "There's no other choice." "Cover." "How is Paul?" "Resting." "He'll be fine." "Michael Samuelle gave them the location." "Too late to be any good." "Three of my Operatives are dead!" "Operations is alive." "Michael's walking a fine line." "He has to maintain credibility." "You really have faith in your power over him, don't you?" "How much power does he have over you?" "Operations wants to see you." "I thought he was in the Tower." "He's back." "All rested up." "And he wants to see you right now." "Sit down." "What's this about?" "I think you know." "No, I don't." "The diagnostic when I was on the plane." "It took 40 seconds." "Last night I called it up a hundred times." "It never took more than 10 seconds." "Got me to thinking, so I had the Tower swept." "Found this." "You planted it the first night we spent together." "You're the mole." "Let's make it easy." "You tell me what you told The Collective." "If I think you're telling me the truth," "I'll let you end it quickly." "Otherwise, you're going to be sitting in this chair a long time." "Well?" "Phillip." "You're just in time." "It turns out Quinn is the mole." "You're wrong." "Here's a bug she put in the Tower." "Yes." "I told her to put it there." "She doesn't work for The Collective, Paul." "She works for me." "Then you gave them the location of the plane, and you ordered Quinn to delay the diagnostic." "That's right." "You rescued me because you couldn't afford to have The Collective take me alive." "Now that you're back, of course, that's a different matter." "You were right about the mission in Zagreb." "He tried to get you killed." "He's preparing you for Oversight and Center." "Something I worked for all my life." "JONES:" "Paul, you are not qualified." "And she is?" "I don't want it." "They're waiting for you in Containment." "Wait." "If you want to live, wait." "We've suffered enough losses lately." "There's no point in killing each other." "If he lives, you'll never be safe again." "If I die for any reason, kill him." "That takes away his incentive." "Meanwhile, we have the benefit of his experience and skill." "Congratulations." "It appears you're alive again." "She doesn't have what it takes." "This proves it." "He's right." "I don't have what it takes." "Oh, I think you probably do." "And VATOS agrees." "The big computer in the sky?" "Yes, yes." "Yes, it predicted a time of chaos," "Section falling apart, faced by a powerful new enemy." "It also predicted, for want of a better word," "a savior." "Someone extraordinary who would put everything right." "I'm no savior." "And you're mad to have such faith in a computer." "Well, the Romans had their entrails, medieval monks had their scriptures, we have our computers." "And every age lives and dies by its sacred totems." "So why shouldn't we?" "Anyway, I think you've forgotten that I have been watching you for seven years." "And I am sure you are what we need." "I don't want the job." "Oh, I know." "Neither did I." "* I want to live life *" "* Never be cruel *" "* I want to live life *" "* And be good to you *" "* I want to fly *" "* And never come down *" "* And live my life *" "* And have friends around **" "Why would Michael help us shoot down Operation's plane, then fail to help us capture him?" "Maybe Michael didn't help us shoot down the plane." "The plane's location came in on Channel Three, remember?" "He uses Seven." "Yes, but he gave us the transponder frequencies, he gave us the rescue site." "Too little, too late." "That's the game he's playing." "He's setting us up." "Yeah, it's a possibility." "What we need is leverage." "There was an interesting rumor about Michael, several years ago." "That he had a son." "BOY:" "Get the ball!" "Over here!"
