"The crime that got Section's attention the reason I'm here" "I didn't do it" "Well that may be true, but what the hell difference does it make now?" "Suppose I was framed in the first place because they wanted me here" "If you won't help me would you at least not interfere?" "Would you do that much for me?" "What if you don't like what you find?" "That night ruined my life." "I did what I was told." "You work in admin?" "Yeah." "Good." "So you can get the file." "It's too risky, for both of us." "I need to know why I'm here." "Dead" "The man who was helping me." "This morning." "What are we waiting for?" "We're surrounded." "There's a bond between them that can only be broken one way." "What's wrong?" "I don't know." "Mick Schtoppel?" "To a few, yes." "But, why?" "Well, I needed to investigate Section One." "You had to have someone on the inside." "Of course I did." "Ready when you are, sir." "Nikita?" "We've discussed this, Nikita." "It's not the way." "This decision is mine, and mine alone." "I'll make my own decision regarding my fate." "I'm sorry, you're not ready." "You'll stay in Section.Your status will be reviewed in another seven years." "I'm transferring you to the Farm." "You're going to become a teacher." "I betrayed Section." "I put your well-being ahead of everything else." "I have no choice but to recommend your cancellation." "My work's done here, Mr. Jones." "Good work." "I'll see you back at Centre." "Why did you break protocol?" "I wasn't ready to see you die." "Are you out?" "No, I've got to go back." "But you can make it." "Is that what you want?" "I don't love you." "I never did." "I can't let you leave without a going-away present." "Some advice?" "You think you're going to start a new life?" "You think you're leaving the violence and the fear behind?" "You're very much mistaken." "Truth is, you were sheltered here." "The dangers in Centre are far worse, because they're far more subtle." "Be especially careful of Mr. Jones he's not what he seems." "You sent for me?" "Yes." "You recommend a matrix organization for Section Six." "Why?" "Flexibility." "Most of their problems involve slow reaction time." "I've had a dozen people look at this." "They're all more experienced than you and they all argue strongly against a matrix." "They're wrong, and you're right?" "I think so." "Yes, yes, so do I." "Michelle, could you get copies of Nikita's report to the Committee?" "Yes, sir." "I also have some recommendations for Section One." "Yes...things are unsettled there as it is." "We had an agreement, Mr. Jones." "All in good time, Nikita, all in good time." "Now if there's nothing else?" "Just the matter of why I was brought into Section One in the first place." "We've had this discussion before, there is no future in it." "I am going to find out, one way or another." "This meeting is over." "New device." "It affects the vocal cords." "After two minutes, the effect is permanent." "We have similar devices for the retina, the tongue, the eardrums, olfactory glands." "Wait!" "You're a young, healthy man." "You could live another forty years." "That's a long time, without taste, smell, sight or sound." "One last chance, Mr. Milov." "Answer truthfully or spend the rest of your life in a dark, silent cave." "The Red Cell substation at Minsk was relocated." "Where is the new site?" " Subtítulo no traducido " "O'Brien, your record is impressive." "Thanks." "That's not a compliment, it's a complaint." "You know who you're replacing?" "Michael Samuelle." "The most remarkable field operative we've had here in the last ten years." "His record was spectacular, so "impressive" won't cut it." "You'll have to kick it up a notch, starting now." "We're looking for a new Red Cell substation." "We've interrogated two field operatives." "Both cracked; both seem to be telling the truth." "So, what's the problem?" "They gave different answers; one said Moscow, the other Saratov." "Your thoughts?" "You run a background check on the operatives?" "Of course." "Red Cell would have designed each story for optimum credibility given the respective profiles of the operatives." "So?" "So, run a reverse sim on each op." "Combined with our database on Red Cell, we should be able to triangulate the new location with a certainty of eighty percent." "Maybe more." "Report to Ordinance, pick up your weapons." "Red Cell moved a substation recently." "Section One got conflicting intel from interrogated operatives." "Yes, I saw the report." "Operations came up with a rather ingenious analysis using reverse sims." "He came up with a new location, Baku." "It's out of Red Cell's territory." "Yes." "Their relationship with terrorist organizations in that region is rather dicey, and yet they've decided to open up a substation there." "The question is, why?" "One name kept cropping up in all the sims:" "Joseph Dolmatov.Do you remember him?" "Cairo, three years ago, I had to cover as his bodyguard." "Yes." "You made quite an impression." "I'm sure he'll do business with you again." "I know, your days in the field are supposed to be over, but Red Cell is becoming active again and we need to find out why." "This is the best way." "It's temporary, one mission only." "You report in the morning." "He's expecting you." "This is Nikita." "She'll be joining us on a temporary basis." "Some of you know her already." "Quinn, for instance, spent two days as her prisoner while Nikita impersonated her in Section." "I'm sure you haven't forgotten that?" "No." "I haven't forgotten." "And O'Brien" "Nikita's the one who brought you into Section." "No doubt you'll have a lot to catch up on." "The rest of you may know Nikita by reputation only." "You may have heard that she was a spy for Centre." "That for three years, she reported our every word and deed behind our backs." "And in the end, she passed judgment on people who thought of her as a friend or colleague." "Two of them are dead, another forcibly retired." "All of that is true." "But whatever you might think of Nikita personally, it will not interfere with your work." "Is that clear?" "That´s all." "By the way, welcome back." "Joseph Dolmatov." "Arms dealer, money launderer, general facilitator for terrorist activities in Northern Africa." "Our reverse sims point to him." "Subsequent investigation validated that result." "Intel indicates a wide rate of interaction among terrorist organizations who normally have little contact." "Decrypted communiques refer to an event five days from now." "What event?" "My analysis indicates a sort of summit meeting, with representatives from several groups." "Perhaps an attempt to bury mutual hostility and focus on anti-Western activities." "That would explain Red Cell's new substation being built outside its normal territory." "Exactly." "Your analysis is quite competent." "What are your recommendations?" "Obviously the summit has to be prevented." "That would be premature." "Facilitate and then destroy." "Encourage the meeting, attack after it convenes." "That way, we get the maximum number of hostiles." "Yes, of course." "O'Brien and Nikita will draw up an infiltration profile." "Support teams will receive a preliminary briefing on their panels by 6:00." "You're new to the job." "It takes time." "Go to Hell." "I am sorry." "I gave you an opportunity." "You looked bad." "Worse, you made me look bad." "It won't happen again." "If there's anything I can do to make up for it?" "There may be something." "How well did you know Michael Samuelle?" "Not well." "What do you think of him?" "He's dead." "Think again." "Have you ever seen him and Nikita together?" "Yes." "Then you know." "He loves her and she loves him." "Her report said it was all an act." "Part of her mission for Centre." "Mr. Jones may believe that, I don't." "Well...the abeyance mission..." "...a sham!" "She could no more killed him than I could've..." "Than you could have killed Madeline." "What do you want me to do?" "Prove that Michael Samuelle is still alive." "If I can prove that Nikita lied about Michael, it'll cast doubt upon her entire report." "I'll get on it right away." "Your file said you spent some time at the Madrid station." "That's right." "I was there, I think we met." "Did we?" "I don't remember." "The mission's been moved up, we leave in half an hour." "I know." "Everything will be ready." "On those infrared sites, I'd like you to knock down the contrast a notch and a half." "That's against regs." "I know." "But most operatives prefer it." "Do it anyway, it's a simple adjustment." "Let me tell you something." "Maybe that old guy was wrapped around your finger, but I'm not." "I do things by the book." "You got a problem with that, tell Operations." "Somehow I don't think he'll back you up." "What Operations said about you spying for Centre, is that true?" "Yes, it is." "I thought it would give me a chance to make some changes." "Such as?" "Such as doing away with some of the worst features in this place." "The constant surveillance, the use of abeyance operatives, that sort of thing." "Our own little Florence Nightingale, here in Section One." "Nikita?" "My name's Kristof, I'm level one." "I've just been active a few months." "I have a mission." "I know." "I'm sorry." "I just wanted to tell you, I know it sounds corny, especially in this place but to a lot of us, you're a hero." "You're really trying to make things better." "Don't quit." "We're counting on you." "I'm in position. 10 seconds." "The sat scan shows denser security than our last sweep indicated." "Wet or wired?" "Both." "This might be impossible." "At least let me disable the beams." "No." "Stay with the profile." "We'll need central security plus modular nodes for each group." "No overlap on the friendlies?" "No, I don't want to take any chances." "If we have to subcontract, so be it." "What is it?" "The perimeter's been penetrated." "Have you ID'd a target?" "Negative." "We're performing a sweep." "Keep me informed." "What the Hell is going on?" "Find out!" "Perhaps it's a false alarm." "Even so, it's unacceptable." "How can we provide security for the conference if we can't " "Hello, Josef." "You've forgotten?" "Cairo...three years ago." "Nikita?" "What are you doing here?" "Looking for work." "From what I've just seen, you could really use the help." "What do you say?" "The truth is I can use some extra muscle." "Red Cell has called a meeting of other groups with similar goals." "Sort of a terrorist convention?" "More or less." "I've offered to facilitate the meeting." "I'm in position." "I'm into the main building climate control." "I've found your corridor." "You'll be cleared to enter in three minutes." "What about the wall?" "I'm blocking the beams now." "Go." "What's the weather report?" "The temperature differential has narrowed sufficiently as of...now." "invisible to infrared." "Take the north stairwell to the second floor." "You're clear all the way." "I'll offer you the same as in Cairo." "Plus ten percent." "And the same for my partner." "Partner?" "He's into technology." "I'm more visceral." "Together, we're very effective." "I don't like unknown quantities!" "I'll introduce you to him." "He should be here any minute." "He's just going to stroll into my office?" "That's right." "No doubt you have a low opinion of our abilities but your success was an exception, I promise you." "And as far as hiring someone I don't know this late in the game " "Come in!" "Marco, Joseph." "Joseph, Marco." "I reviewed the files of his last mission." "There were 17 people in the structure when it exploded." "DNA traces were recovered on all but three." "One of them was Michael." "Suggestive but not conclusive." "I also ran a backtrace on Nikita during the mission." "Four hours, six minutes unaccounted for." "Just the amount of time needed to reach the mission site and return." "The chance of both occurrences happening randomly?" "Less than one in a quarter million." "Formalize it, I'll take it to Centre tomorrow." "That would be premature." "We should facilitate and destroy." "If Michael's alive, sooner or later they'll find each other." "When they do, we'll deliver them both to Mr. Jones in a nice little package." "You're learning." "I have an exceptional teacher." "Which one of these dirtbags are we supposed to be protecting?" "A man named Rustam Federov." "He's the Chief Strategist for Black Moon." "Nikita." "Yeah?" "Be advised." "Federov is sick." "Black Moon has sent a man named Piket in his place." "Please enter." "He's on his way." "No problem." "What is it?" "Piket and I crossed paths in Marrakesh two years ago." "Does he know you're with Section?" "Oh yeah." "How much contact?" "Few minutes." "Maybe he forgot." "Welcome, Mr. Piket." "I'm Nikita, my colleague, let me show you to the room." "You should be a princess or a film star, not a bodyguard." "It's the 21st century, Mr. Piket - women have many talents." "I would love to know more about yours." "I don't mix business and pleasure." "By all means, then, let's forget business." "Your room." "Do you smoke?" "What are you doing?" "He recognized you immediately." "I saw it in his eyes." "That should be enough." "We've got it." "Good." "The meeting's in four hours." "We need the mask in three and a half." "You'll have them." "But, there's not enough time for a voice synthesizer." "We'll get by." "Just get us the masks." "You forgot something." "An abeyance op." "Oh, we'll just use a silent drop." "Too risky." "Nikita, reform Section after the mission." "We need an abeyance op." "Quinn, protocol six." "I'm punching up the abeyance list now." "Nikita!" "Got the masks?" "Yeah, they'll do." "Wait." "I only have a two minute window." "It just closed." "Nikita?" "These will be fine." "I'm triggering the alarm." "You've got ten seconds." "We'll be ready." "What's going on?" "He came in through the vent...he killed Marco." "Mr. Pickett, are you alright?" "He's fine!" "But your security system needs work." "Mr. Piket, I don't know who's behind this but I'll find out, and when I do, they'll be punished." "It was a false alarm." "Mr. Piket is fine." "The meeting will go on as planned." "Quinn." "They're all here." "How long?" "17 minutes." "The guest list?" "Just as we'd hoped." "Goff Bauer, French, Terik - a dozen other leaders." "This is going to put us ahead five years." "Relay the signal." "Gentlemen, gentlemen." "This is an unusual occasion." "Unique in fact." "Because Red Cell originated the idea of this coalition, I have asked their representative, Mr. Goff, to be the first speaker." "On behalf of Red Cell, I thank each of you for being here this day." "Put simply, our hope is we can all forget our differences long enough to create a real peril that will bring the West to its knees." "Wait!" "Mr. Piket!" "Is there a problem?" "The attempt on your life will be avenged." "If there's something else, let's talk!" "I'm afraid your departure has been delayed." "And why is that?" "Three western embassies in Pakistan were bombed about an hour ago." "What does that have to do with me?" "The bombings were traced to William Goff." "That's impossible." "Goff's dead." "Apparently not." "He died at Dolmatov's." "I saw it and your intel confirmed it." "Seems you were wrong." "And so was I." "How is that possible?" "I don't know." "Mr. Jones is waiting for us in systems." "And it's not only Goff." "Bauer, French, and a dozen others seem to be very much alive and active since they supposedly died at the conference." "While you were patting yourselves on the back, the enemy was hard at work." "Instead of being years ahead, you are weeks behind and weeks can turn into forever very quickly." "It won't happen." "I'll make sure." "I'm not overly impressed by that at the moment." "I am deeply disappointed in both of you and you will both stay on the job until things are put right." "Nikita, I am formally assigning you to Section; you will live and work there until this is cleaned up." "And you will keep your personal agenda out of it." "Nikita is your deputy and you will treat her accordingly." "I'll expect your first progress report in 48 hours." "Wait." "Our agreement." "This is hardly the time." "It's never the time, Mr. Jones." "You've been putting it off for months." "I came back to Section three years ago because you made certain promises." "It's time you kept them." "Is that a threat?" "Only if you call threatened being asked to keep your word." "Am I in command or is she?" "You are in operational command, as always." "In certain matters of internal policy, Nikita has a degree of independence." "Now in the meantime, what I suggest is that you both listen to recordings of the Mikado, or Pirates of Penzance." "Gilbert and Sullivan." "They hated each other, but they made beautiful music together." "And so will you." "Thank you for coming." "Didn't have much choice." "You were on inactive status." "Strictly speaking, you could have refused." "I did what I did because I thought in the long run I could change things for the better." "And you just happened to claw your way to the top in the meantime." "Is that what you think?" "What am I supposed to think?" "Madeline's gone, Michael's gone...you're number two." "Believe me, it's not my choice, but while I'm here, I intend to make some changes." "Good luck." "I was hoping you'd help." "How?" "By coming back to your old job." "I thought I violated 'protocol' too many times?" "So did I. I was wrong." "Would it matter if I apologized for deceiving you?" "It's all water under the bridge." "Anyway, it's not too bad where I am." "I'm teaching." "Tinker around with a few new gadgets." "Out of the pressure cooker." "You could help me change things." "I've done my stint as Dear Abby." "Let somebody else have a turn." "The new guy's not in your class." "He'll learn." "Guess that's it then." "Guess so." "Suppose I said that you were the best man I ever met, and another day in Section without you seems unbearable." "Would that matter?" "It might." "Subtítulo realizado por Scar"
