"Michael." "Michael." "Are you ready?" "Second set." "Keep still." "Don't move." "You broke his leg." "I'm sorry." "He's still out of synch." "Out of synch!" "He's out of control." "That stunt he pulled In Liberia could have gotten everybody killed." "...And now he's beating up our recruits!" "He's still not over Nikita." "So he's taking it out on us." "No, not us, himself." "It's been over six months." "He's got to let it go." "What if he can't?" "He got over Simone ..." "he'll get over Nikita." "Recently there has been a barrage of terrorist attacks perpetrated by the Freedom League." "The latest incident came in just last night." "A tourist charter in the Aegean exploded killing all 23 passengers and crew." "We suspect these attacks are a response to our incineration of one of their locations six months ago." "We all remember that!" "Do you have something to contribute, Walter?" "Do we have new Intel of the location of their headquarters?" "That's why we're here." "This is Stuart Sherrin." "The proprietor of a resort in Thailand that caters to the vices of an elite and perverse clientele." "Prostitution, drugs, outlawed gambling ..., he provides it all." "Recreation isn't Sherrin's only business." "He launders money." "Sherrin acts as a firewall to isolate terrorists from their transactions." "Buying weapons, contracting players." "There are dozens of guys like Sherrin." "Why do we think he's in business with the Freedom League?" "I backed into a couple of his offshore accounts." "Within two days of each of the last six Freedom league hits large deposits were made into them." "It's no coincidence." "Operation profiles are in your PDA's." "Study them." "Transport for Thailand leaves in two hours." "All Teams to report to Ackerman." "I'm not leading the Teams?" "No." "You can't bring her back, Michael." "Stop trying." "[We are very happy that you have the opportunity to do business with us tonight.]" "[How did you meet my boss?" "]" "[He didn't tell you?" "]" "[He did ..., but I want you to tell me.]" "I provide security for him, when he's in Northern Europe." "He does a lot of business in Finland, doesn't he?" "He's never been to Finland." "He works out of Stockholm." "Quite right." "Michael tagged Sherrin's Gofer." "He's heading in." "Here we go." "It looks like he's got two bodies with him." "Small..., probably female." "Right inside the door there's four more..., larger..., probably bodyguards." "And Sherrin's egress?" "Only one way out." "Good." "Download the game plan to the onsite ops." "It's done." "Start sequencing." "Michael, five seconds." "Twenty meters down to the entrance." "Come with me, please." "Hey, Sweetheart!" "Come here." "Is there a problem?" "Yeah, I've got a problem." "Do you want to talk about it?" "Yeah, you see, there's no butter on my toast." "I'm sorry." "I'll get you another order." "I don't like your attitude." "Really." "Yeah, really." "Don't do this, please." "You're hurting me." "Well, you see, I'm just trying to teach you some manners." "No problem." "You want me to toss this guy out?" "Leave him be." "He'll be fine once he gets his butter." "We only want you." "Nobody else needs to get hurt." "I'll be back in a few minutes, Matty." "As you can see, we have one of your Operatives." "No latex, no special effects." "She's been very cooperative." "That's enough, send it." "We've been trying to track you down, ever since the conflagration at one of our outposts." "One of my men saw you escape." "What do you want?" "You." "You're very fortunate, actually." "How much longer would you have lasted out there?" "Hmm?" "Aliases, constantly looking over your shoulder." "He just called." "And?" "Section One knows about tomorrow night." "What do you want to do?" "Go as planned." "The more Operatives they send, the greater the loss." "Get her dressed, take her to her room." "Is there anything else you'd like to tell me, Mr. Sherrin?" "Sherrin has provided Intel to his Freedom League contact, location and access of the Nuclear Research Lab in Lyons, France." "They plan to kidnap an engineer who has security clearances." "When?" "Tomorrow." "Do we intercept?" "No." "We'll wait for their exits, and will pursue with an offset." "Hopefully, they'll take their hostage back to their command." "That's our target." "Birkoff." "It's ready." "Ackerman, get your transport ready." "You leave in the morning." "Don't make a sound." "I can make it easier for you." "The engineer's coming out." "Are there any sign of the kidnappers?" "They should be there now." "They are hitting the target." "They are approaching the gate." "Get out." "Birkoff, we've been ambushed." "Send backup." "Get to exit point Alpha." "Transport will be there in four minutes." "I'm sorry." "There was not enough backup." "Michael." "It was an inside job." "Someone got on to our frequency and knew we were coming." "How could that have happened?" "Birkoff is working on it now." "Did you see anything on site?" "Any anomalies?" "No." "Something's not right." "I thought I'd lost you." "You never had me!" "Everything OK?" "I'm fine." "So, where does Section think you are?" "Gathering Intel." "Why didn't you let me know you were alive?" "I almost did ..., once." "I don't know why I didn't..." "I put everything out of my mind Even the things I didn't want to forget." "Do you know that for three years all I did was dream about getting out of Section?" "When I did," "...it wasn't what I expected." "This isn't freedom..." "This isn't freedom." "What will you do now?" "Keep moving." "Let me help you." "Michael, it's better if you don't know where I am." "Better for both of us." "Come back to the Section." "Let me bring you in." "Even if I wanted to, how could I?" "Michael, they know you helped me to escape." "It can't be done." "After the explosion, I'd started to believe that you hadn't made it out in time." "I thought you were dead." "When I saw you in Lyons, it brought me back." "I never realized I needed you so much." "So, what do we do now?" "I don't know." "I've got to go back." "So ..., ah ...," "Who you gonna say gave you the location for Freedom League?" "Purcell, my contact in South Africa." "How much did it cost us?" "He was happy to trade the location for some local protection." "Good." "Ackerman, get up here." "We have an attack to prepare." "There is one other thing, Michael." "It's about Nikita." "She's alive." "Alive?" "As you can see, we have one of your Operatives." "No latex, no special effects." "She's been very cooperative." "They must have grabbed her just before the explosion." "It explains quite a bit." "How they were able to elude us these past six months, how they knew about Lyons." "How could she have known about that?" "She was equipped with receivers when she was captured." "They must have been able to use the encryption keys to tunnel into some of our communications." "Are we going to extract her?" "Ackerman will make that decision once he's on site." "We'll try, Michael." "Michael, did you hear about Nikita?" "Pull up the log file for Delta Comm." "Why?" "Just do it." "They think she's been leaking Intel, but that's hard to believe." "They could have gotten some mileage out of those receivers, but not for long." "Ackerman had me change all the codes." "Here you go." "Ackerman." "When did he do that?" "As soon as Operations put him in charge." "That guy doesn't trust anybody, not even me." "Here you go." "Look, he has all these transmissions locked." "Why?" "That's the way he wants it." "I want you to do something for me." "Our primary objective, gentlemen, is to take out the Freedom League server." "Birkoff ." "The central control is here." "The redundancy back up every 24 hours, lasts for five minutes." "That's our window." "If we can destroy the computer at that time, it will bring down their entire network." "Is there a secondary objective?" "Birkoff's working up a possible location on Nikita based on the tape." "On egress, Team Three, you're responsible." "If you can extract her without sacrifice, fine." "If not, incinerate that wing." "My Team will do that." "I need you on point." "I can do both." "Fine." "We will set charges here ..., here ..., and here." "What about this culvert?" "What about it?" "It's a potential retreat point." "Mark it off with two synchronized charges." "Make it four." "Go ahead." "We'll convene at van access in five minutes." "I will be right out." "Michael!" "I though we were going out." "We are." "I just had to check on something." "Why don't you give Walter the inventory?" "I did." "Good." "It can wait." "Let's go." "Any transmission from Ackerman?" "No, nothing." "We should have heard by now." "First mark completed." "Go to B." "Michael, they're mobilizing east." "Keep monitoring all transmissions." "I want to know the moment he calls." "You can reach me on Channel Three." "Birkoff, Team's in position." "Everyone out, now." "Where's Michael?" "Michael, where are you?" "We've got to get out of here." "Are you ready?" "Enough." "No." "I'm not taking any chances." "Take us out of here." "What about Michael?" "He's run out of time." "Ignite the charges." "Nikita!" "Go." "What do you think?" "Her body markings indicate interrogation and torture." "Over what period of time?" "That's what bothers me." "The bruises appear to be fresh." "Which means she may have been cooperating until only recently." "She never cooperated with them." "Meaning what?" "They used her to divert our attention." "From what?" "The real source." "Birkoff put this together." "Ackerman?" "He was a mole for the Freedom League." "They got to him last year in Singapore." "These are all the decoded transmissions since then." "Where is he now?" "For the next three days you'll be subjected to an intense debriefing." "You will cooperate with us because you know how things are done here." "When we're done with you, you'll be canceled." "Any questions?" "How are you feeling?" "I'll be fine." "Would you excuse us, please?" "You'll stay in Observation for another day." "Then you'll be transferred down to Level 3." "Three?" "Reprogramming." "You've been out for a long time." "We need to be sure you still meet Section's standards." "Will I be doing that with you?" "No." "You'll be assigned to someone else." "Are we going to be able to see each other on the outside?" "I had a dream last night..." "You said certain things to me, you revealed your feelings." "Sometimes all we have is our dreams." "Closer." "You went to a lot of trouble to bring me back in here." "I want to know why." "Be patient."
