"How does it feel to be back in Section?" "I feel good." "Michael means nothing to her." "She's a perfect robot." "I want you to run an eye analysis for me, please." "It's for Nikita." "Four years ago, Operations approved a research proposal... based on the work of a neurobiologist named Ross Gelman." "They're trying to reprogram me." "I had to let them think they'd succeeded." "Michael, you have one hour to get to Gelman." "He's trying to find out what's been done to me." "Is he making progress?" "Yes, I think so." "Who was the original subject?" "If I tell you that, you're a dead man." "Kill him." "Sir, we have a problem." " You think she's ready?" " I do." "What's the status on our retrieval teams?" "Michael has covered his tracks very well." "So far we haven't been able to pick up anything." "I'm not surprised." "All right." "Bring her in." "This procedure is quite different than anything you might have experienced." "Nikita, are you sure you're all right?" "Whenever your last meeting with Michael was..." "I hope you made the most of it." "I don't love you anymore." "Nikita... report to Operations." "Three days ago Michael went rogue... when he learned of our decision to have him canceled." "Because of who he is... it's not likely we're going to be able to find him anytime soon." " You think he'll contact me?" " He will contact you." "Somewhere on the outside." " I'll report as soon as he does." " That won't be necessary." "We'd like you to handle this matter personally." "You want me to kill Michael?" "Is that a problem?" "No." "Later, "amigo."" "Birkoff." "This is Dori." "Collateral from the Burn Mission." "Her brother was the target." "Dori was exposed, we had to bring her in." "She's been briefed on procedure." "What are her credentials?" "She has a formidable knowledge of operating systems." "We thought you might be able to use her." "Good luck." "Bitch." "Have a seat." "You the resident geek?" "Why don't we see if you have the skill set to do this job?" "Why?" "I don't plan to be here very long." "Madeline has talked to you?" "You mean the "no escape" chat?" "Was that supposed to scare me?" "I think we should get started." "Whatever." "Thank..." "Michael." " How much do they know?" " Not much." "But they're looking for you." " Is someone watching you?" " No." "But they knew you'd make contact." "And when I did?" "I'm supposed to ring in." "They want you dead." "I know." " How does that size 6 look on you?" " Much better." "Thanks." "I've been worried about you." "Not now." " Where are you hiding?" " I'm moving around." " I need you to get something for me." " Anything." " What is it?" " A formatted capture card." "Where do I bring it to you?" "We can't meet again." "It's too risky." "Use the old data dump." "I have to go." "Wait." "Is everything all right?" "Ma'am?" "A capture card." "Are you certain that's what he asked for?" "Yes." "That's interesting." "Interesting, why?" "It's useless without the additional hardware." "He's testing you, Nikita." " What would you like me to do?" " Give him what he wants." "Get a capture card from Walter." "Make sure he installs thermal identification coding." "Rebuild his confidence in you." "Then complete your cancellation orders." "Very well." "Birkoff, mirror this with me." " I got it." " You see anything unusual here?" "Someone's trying to access this Gelman file." "Are we conferenced with somebody else?" "Michael's on." "Do you want me to shut down?" "Can you trace it?" "Actually, yes." "He's mobile." "I have coordinates." "Keep it open as long as you can." "I want six teams out now." "Nikita on point." "Birkoff has location." "Put another six teams on standby in case the perimeter widens." "He's in front of us." "Nikita has a thermal confirm." "Take him out." "Take him out." "Nikita, it's a go." "All teams move in." "I'll handle the final assault." "We've been made." "All teams, move in." "Target neutralized." "Thermal's still hot." "Nikita, Michael's alive." "Finish the job." "It's a ruse." "Vehicle's on remote." "Where the hell is he?" "A second vehicle, most likely." "Out of our thermal satellite range." "Michael was distracting us in order to get to Gelman's files." "Birkoff, bring up anything on Gelman." "Rake it backwards and forwards." "See if he got in." "What about the team?" "Call them back." "He's gone." "You said Michael was testing Nikita." "You were wrong." "And now he has the advantage." "Even if he's tapped in..." "I've made sure Gelman's program can't be accessed." "Not from the outside." "We can take all the precautions in the world... but this is Michael we're dealing with." "Dori, I want you to take a look at what I'm doing here." "Disconnect." "Not until I find out what's on level 20." "You won't." "It's Clearance 1." "Only two people have access." "It's an exit... isn't it?" "It doesn't matter." "Look, it has to be." "The building perimeter ends here." "I found a way out, Birkoff." "Even if you did, the elevator is voice-activated." "You won't get anywhere." "Why, because you couldn't?" "Okay." "Most recruits give up after their first talk with Madeline." "But if you have any illusions about getting out of here..." "I'm going to introduce you to Walter." "Who's Walter?" "He's a guy who's going to issue you a gun and a single bullet." "Because taking your own life is the only way you'll ever get out." " Nikita, you're wanted in Tactical." " Who?" "Nikita, you're wanted in Tactical now." "I'm on my way." "Michael." "Hi." "You frightened me." "Were you wondering why I disarmed you?" "No." "You're protecting me." "If you got caught, I wouldn't be blamed." "Do you know who you are?" "Do I know who I am?" "I'm me." "And I love you." "Do you?" "Or do you want to kill me?" "Why are you talking like this?" "If I hand you this gun, are you going to shoot me?" "You won't have any reason to hesitate." "The order has been given." "Michael?" "You don't belong here anymore, Michael." "Why do you say that?" "Because you don't have what it takes." "If you did, I'd be dead." "What are you doing?" "Taking your access coder." "I can't let you do that." "Cryotemperature, "minus" 197 "degrees Celsius."" "Glycerol levels, stable." "Cryostasis, normal." "Cellular activity is normal." "Neural integrity remains stable." " Who are you?" " Someone unlike anyone you've ever met." "Adrian founded this place." "She's the mother of Section One." "Together, my dear, you and I are going to destroy Section One." "Adrian." "Relax." "I'm just filtering the program you gave me." " Any bugs?" " It's clean." "Don't be so paranoid, Birkoff." "I got the message." "Birkoff, I want you to recycle this communiqué." "What's the problem with it?" "I'm picking up static." "I want you to look for a second channel." "I'll get on it right away." "Hey, "amigo," what's up?" "I'm getting some random signals again." " From where?" " Bin backup." "Backup." "You scared the hell out of me, Michael." "What are you doing here?" "Everyone's looking for you." "I need you to get control of the grid on 17." " The lab?" " Yes." "I don't know what your plan is, but you gotta get out of here." "How did you even get in?" "Adrian is alive." "What?" "She's in the lab." "Does this have anything to do with the information I gave you... on the Gelman Mind Control project?" "She was the first subject." "The process was a failure, they shut it down." "Adrian is alive." "I don't want to know this." "I gotta get back." "I'm not gonna report you, but you're on your own." "Birkoff." "If the process is successful... they'll use it on all of us." "Nikita's just the beginning." "Everyone should have them by this evening." "Run them on two-inch, we'll reconvene before you leave." "Okay." "This is Davenport." "Who's in 5A?" "5A is clear." " Get a light unit up here, now." " Yes, sir." "Call Madeline." "Michael's on the inside." "Go." "Subject neural activity, zero." "Cryostasis, normal." " The Perch." " Why don't you see what he wants?" "Cellular activity is normal." "This is 17." "Hello?" "Why do you think he came back?" "For me." "He thinks you brainwashed me." "That I have no free will." "How did you respond?" "I told him he was wrong." "Was that the truth?" "What do you mean?" "Do you think you've been brainwashed?" "It doesn't really matter to me." "You should never let yourself be taken by surprise." "But it's good that you told us right away." "That will be all." "You need to be careful with any criticism." "The program is based on positive reinforcement." "Whatever." "Michael knows Nikita is no longer of any use to him." "He's talked to Gelman." "There's only one reason he would risk coming back." " Adrian." " She's his trump card." "Michael knows what would happen to us if Oversight were to find out we had her." "Birkoff, check level 17 now." "Scanning level 17." "No hot spots." "All clear." "Gynomappic unit on standby." "Cellular activity is normal." "Glycerol levels, stable." "Everything okay?" "Increase her saline." "Blood count's reading a bit low." "What are you doing?" "She's gonna wake up!" " I'm running out of time." " I need two minutes." "What's taking so long?" "This shouldn't be that hard." "Michael knows Section as well as we do." "Use it against him." "Change parameters." "Yes, sir." "Cryostasis breached." "Liquid nitrogen levels, dropping." "Hazard warning:" "Exposure to cryotemperature is unsafe." "What is that?" "The membrane's been breached." " Someone's got out?" " Yes." " Michael?" " All retained teams, go to the north portal." " Get me the lab on 17." " 1 7 is not responding." " Has there been any unauthorized entry?" " Yes." " And the subject?" " Gone, sir." "Repeat that." "The subject is gone, sir." "As far as I'm concerned, you all have failed." "You have let down the Section... you have let me down, personally." "One man, one operative." "You've got the best technology and reasoning at your disposal... and still you can't perform." "You're all a disgrace." "Advantage hasn't changed." "Adrian is still comatose and Michael will eventually contact Nikita." "That's what all of this is about." "The only advantage I care about... is having Michael and Adrian contained or dead." "Keeping her alive was a big mistake." "Finally." "I thought you'd never show up." "I can understand your need for discretion, Michael, but this!" "Come on." "No cable, no central air, no room service." "There's no room service, Michael." "Fairly downscale clientele." "Bridge and tunnel crowd, I think." "Did you bring what I asked for?" "Oh, yes." "And then some." "The weapons you requested." "Very exotic." "A little harder to find than I first suspected." "I did have to go out of pocket." "But no matter." "Anything for a friend." "Anything." "Who's the bird?" "What's the bandpass on these optics?" "150 to 170." "You said you might be working at night..." "I spared no expense." "All right, you're busy." "I'll just let you do what you're doing." " Mum's the word, needless to say." " Mick... one more thing." "Michael, there are limits." "Go to Nikita's apartment." "She has a tracking module, should be in her bathroom." "All right, fine." "Fine." "But I'd like to know what's going on." "This is Adrian." "Adrian?" "You mean, the woman who started Section?" "The mother hen, so to speak?" "I need the tracking module by tonight." "Excellent." "Adrian." "Adrian, can you hear me?" "Are you in there, little lovely?" "Come on, open the door." "I know you're in there." "Open up, darling." "Did you hear me knocking?" "Go away." "You look lovely." "As always." "What do you want, Mick?" "Oh, so now I need a reason to be sociable?" "Can't we just chill?" "Over some chilled Chianti perhaps?" "I'm not interested." "I've noticed that about you lately." "You don't seem to be interested in much." "See, at that time of the month, they've got these marvelous blue pills." "You take them, fabulous." "What is it you need, Mick?" "I just want to have a chat." "I've had a bit of a rough week." "I'm not interested in your rough week." "Now, that's interesting." "Do you understand all that?" "All right." "Oh, stupid, look at me!" "My crotch is soaked!" " I'm just going to..." " Where are you going?" "I'm just going to wash this off." "I'll be right back." "I've heard you have to act very rapidly with these miscues." "Very embarrassing, this." "But as you know, even a light red wine... will produce a serious stain if you don't soak it." "What are you doing?" "I lost a contact lens... and it's very hard to find with all this rigmarole." "You're working with Michael." "What could have put that into your head?" "Take me to him." "I'm picking up static." "I want you to look for a second channel." "Level 20." "Voice print recognized." "I know where these teams are." "I want them recalled." "Until this matter is resolved, there are no missions." "Yes, sir." "What have you got?" "Michael acted alone." "Adrian was his target all along." "Everything else was a feint." "This is inconceivable." "If Oversight gets a whiff of any of this, if Michael were to go to George..." "He can't." "How can you be sure?" "Adrian is a vegetable." "She can't corroborate anything." "Won't matter." "George will know we've had her." "How?" "Michael's word?" "How would George know that Michael didn't have Adrian all along?" "I've already begun to back-fill the files to accommodate the scenario." "Sir, Oversight for you." "Thank you." "Yes, George?" "No." "It was intentional." "I downgraded Tangier." "New intel suggested a different location." "I know, it's important to all of us." "No, nothing's wrong." "Just a bit busy." "Of course." "Are we certain Michael didn't take anything else?" "Birkoff is checking now." "I knew it." "It's me, old man." "Hello, Nikita." "He won't kill me." "He might not... but I will." "The whole thing, absolutely unnecessary." "There never was a tracking module, was there, Michael?" "Very clever." "I would have preferred you used a different bait." "But very clever, nevertheless." "Go back to Madeline and Operations." "Tell them what you've seen." "Adrian is alive and aware." "Take this to them." "It's over, Nikita." "Yes, it is." "It's over for the two of you." "What do you need me to do?" " Run a defrag." " Right away." "Hello, Madeline." "I'm sorry things didn't turn out the way you planned." "I'm sure Operations must regret the decision to keep me alive." "I imagine the next few days will be trying for you both... as you try to anticipate our next move." "What is our next move?" "By now they've seen you." "We have to find someplace safe." "Can you tell me now who these people are?" "Who is Operations and Madeline?" "And Nikita?"
