"They changed you." "Something better." "No needs." "No fears." "No desires." "You remember everything." "You have three seconds to confirm." "She's conscious, but her mind's blank?" "And the transmission is a bluff, staged by Michael." "The situation is hopeless." "He will be crushed." "And so will anyone who attempts to help him." "We need to meet face to face." "Whatever Michael's up to, he's trying to help Nikita." "You seen her lately?" "The Nikita we know is long gone." "Maybe we can help get her back." "Adrian, George is in danger." "We have to help him." "Twelve hours." "Then we push the button." "We keep Nikita alive... you keep Adrian away from George." "There was a time when we used to care for each other." "Well, that time is gone." "What happened to the others?" "Nikita killed them." "All we need is one to break the code." "He seems to be accepting her situation." "He has no choice." "Without Gelman's process..." "Nikita must remain on the maintenance drugs, or she dies." " Where are we with that therapy?" " On schedule." "In seven days, the conversion will be irreversible." "I got a message for you." "Who sent it?" "Lmpossible to tell." "Back trace would only go so far." "All I know is it was sent last week on a delay." "It showed up now." "Did you read it?" "No." "It's gene-coded." "To tell you the truth... anything that shows up this way, is something I'd rather not see." "Can I go now?" "Michael, I've made this tape in case you're unsuccessful... in getting the parameters of Gelman's mind-control process." "What you need to know is this:" "Nikita can be saved." "You can go, Nikita." "I'd like to stay." "Your primary focus will be... stimulating obstructed emotions:" "Sympathy, fear, and love." "It may be too late for me, but you might be able to return Nikita... to the way she was." "I hear Algiers went well." "Like clockwork." "You don't prep again for 24." "Any plans?" "Liberia sim will keep me busy." "When do you sleep?" "What are we gonna do with her?" "I need everything on here." "I already have the hardware for Nitgan." "This isn't profile." "Quarantine Nexus Chamber." "Cerebrum inhibitors?" "An ultrasonance unit with a sensory deprivation channel." "Our girl's not gonna go quietly." "You're gonna need restraints." "It's been taken care of." "You thought of everything." "But it's gonna take time." "We don't have time." "Thank you for coming, Michael." "How's Adrian?" "Fine." "Is there anything we can do to make her stay more comfortable?" "Gelman's process no longer exists." "I know." "Then what are your plans?" "Plans?" "Regarding Nikita." "As long as she receives the maintenance, you have no reason to be concerned." "That's what I told Operations." "He's not convinced." "Regardless of Adrian... he's thinking about reinstating your cancellation orders." "I understand." "You're not afraid to die, are you, Michael?" "No." "You've seen to that." "Where are we with locating Adrian?" "Michael's done a good job of making her disappear." "Then increase the manpower." "I already have three teams in the field." "Any more exposure would alert George." "What about Michael?" "Does he have a next move?" "I don't know." "You saw the length he went to with Adrian." "I don't think he's finished." "Not by a long shot." "Then manipulate his time until we're done with Nikita." " How much more time do you need?" " Five days." "Keeping Michael in play will prevent him from interfering." "What do we have that requires an undercover position?" "The Terragamo mission." "That should suffice." "The man you see here is Alessandro Terragamo." "Until recently, he's been the middleman for a number of fringe factions." "Terragamo recently moved up... trafficking in nuclear hardware, software... and, we've just discovered, biotechnology." "His next transaction takes place in 72 hours." "His contact is a courier who works for Horst Dante... a high-profile supplier." "Dante is the key to taking Terragamo down." "How do you plan to infiltrate the meet?" "We're going to intercept the hard product... establish a cover profile with the courier... and take Terragamo out." "Michael, your team leaves in one hour." "That's all." " Where's Nikita?" " Liberia." "Faso mission." "She's gonna need some downtime when she returns." "She's already put in her request to join the Merigo mission." " Has a team already been assigned?" " Yes." "She's leading it." "There's no way to take her off point." "There's a way." "You don't have to tell me." "All I need is the Liberia profile." "It'll be on your panel." "Horst, wake up." " Wake up." "Wake up." " What is going on?" "Horst!" "Easy." "Easy!" "Your bodyguards are dead." "What do you want?" "Bio ware you plan on selling Terragamo." "It is in the safe." "Take him in." "Team One has possession." "Target is en route." "It's done." "But you better move quick." "Liberia went bad." "Nikita was ID'd, and Faso has a hit squad after her." " I know." " You know?" "Michael, that's impossible." "It happened when you were out in "the..."" "Michael." "Don't worry." "You're not involved." "That's not what I'm worried about." "Who sent you?" "Faso?" "Michael?" "Michael?" "How'd Mitian go?" "We got what we needed." "Liberia was the complete opposite." "Faso wants my head on a platter." "One of his men already paid me a visit." "I heard." "You'll watch my back... won't you?" "We have to protect each other." "Like always." "It wasn't Michael last night." "I'm certain." "She's right." "Michael would never have failed." "Then who was it?" "Must have been one of Faso's men." "I want you to move to secondary quarters until this is cleared up." "Congratulations, Michael." "I don't know what you did, but it worked." "Nikita's on permanent downtime, until further notice." "Where do they have her?" " That's a Birkoff question." " Find out." "Please, Horst, give them what they want." "Please, Horst, give them what they want." "Please, Horst, give them what they want." "Please, Horst, give them what they want." "Are you ready to talk?" "Please, Horst, give them what they want." "She doesn't mean anything to me." "She's pregnant." "You are lying." "Please, Horst, give them what they want." "Please, Horst, give them what they want." "Your girlfriend is the one that sounds stressed." "The other is your unborn son." "Michael." "Dante broke." "Where is this courier meeting Terragamo?" " Belgium." " I'll handle it." "Birkoff will take tactical." "I'll have him download the details to your panel." "Birkoff." "What's going on?" "You're supposed to be meeting with Terragamo." " You take care of it." " Me?" "I'm not a field op." "I need a window." "There's not many people I can trust." "No." "It'll never work." "Terragamo's expecting a courier he's never met." "It'll work." "I'll tell Walter to get you set up." "I'll be back in a couple of hours." "Don't look back." "Shadow Team, I'm on her." "Why am I here?" "I want you to come back to your senses." "I don't care about you." "Yes, you do." "You just need time to remember." " You're going through withdrawal." " From what?" "Gelman's maintenance drug." "Why do you care?" "Drink this." "Don't come near me." "You had me emotionally, Michael." "You blew it." "Does it hurt to be on the other side?" "Are you in pain?" "You have to drink this." "You're dead, Michael." "When they find out you're off profile, you're dead!" " Yeah, you need something?" " Yeah." "A Clark.17 with a stealth holster, two extra clips, a field locator." "You're actually gonna cover for Michael?" "I can do it." "End up in an early grave." "Thank you for the vote of confidence." "Hey, now, come on." "Actually, I'm proud of you." "I'll get you your goodies." "When do you go?" "Operations has a meeting tomorrow at Center." "That will give me 22 hours to locate Terragamo." " You scared?" " You can't imagine." "It was you the other night?" "Why are you doing this?" "I tried to kill you." "I want to go back." "Not yet." "How long are you gonna keep me here?" "Can't I go back on the maintenance?" "Please, Michael?" "Please." "I'm scared." "I'm scared." "It'll be over soon." " Have you heard from Michael?" " He checked in about an hour ago." "Everything's going according to profile." "Good." "Keep me posted." "Yes, sir." "Look." "Once her system is cleansed... you'll proceed with sensory deprivation... and emotional building blocks." "Your primary focus will be... stimulating obstructed emotions:" "Sympathy, fear, and love." " Nikita, listen to me." " Shut up!" "Tie yourself up." "Tie yourself up." "Tie yourself up." " You're through the worst of it, Nikita." " Shut up!" "I'm sorry." " Identify." " Nikita, 31-J7." " Go ahead." " Requesting permission for a secured line." " Designator?" " Operations." "Switching." "Hang up, Nikita." "Michael, I need the drugs." "In one more day, you won't need them." " Yes?" " Nikita for you, sir." "Go ahead, Nikita." "Nikita?" "You have to decide for yourself." "Nikita, what is your location?" " What happened?" " We lost contact." "Trace the call." "What have they done to me?" "It hurts." "Is something wrong?" "Nikita just called on an outside line." "That's odd." "What did she say?" "Nothing." "The call was disconnected." "I'll check with her Shadow Team... see if it had anything to do with Faso's men." "Has Michael checked in?" "Birkoff said he reported about an hour ago." "Do you think they're together?" "I slept." "Yes, a little." "There's still pain." "It'll go away." "When?" "When you let it go, Nikita." "Michael, I love you." "The trace came back." "I have a team in motion." "I'll call you at the Center the moment she's found." "Mind if I tag along?" "You sure about this?" "Makes about as much sense as anything else does around here." "Gotta search you." "Don't even think about it." "We're here to see Terragamo." "You have five seconds to inform him, or we leave." "One... two..." "Relax." "Breathe." "I think I'm gonna throw up." "Do it after the meet." "Gentlemen, sorry to keep you waiting." "Just don't let it happen again." "Dante never mentioned a second courier." "Who are you?" "Are we here to do business... or what?" "Business... of course." "Euros, just like you requested." "Do you mind?" "Make me smile." "It's called CR-14." "If even a small drop enters through a pore in the skin... death is almost instantaneous." "Oops..." "I may have spilled some while I was pouring it into the vial." "Kill them!" "That wasn't so bad, was it?" "We can't stay here." "I know." "We have to be stronger than them." "I'd rather die than go back now." "Don't say that." "Why?" "Because I can't live without you." "Well done." "I was at Center." "I heard the Terragamo mission was a success." "Thank you." "I look forward to reading the debrief." "I'll have it on your desk this afternoon." "Nikita, you were to remain at secondary quarters until further notice." "Or until Faso's hit squad was caught." "Good work." "Take them to containment." "There's a briefing in an hour." "Both of you are in play." "Come in, Nikita." "Sit down." "We know you were with Michael." "Tell me what happened." "He kidnapped me." " Why?" " Tried to turn me." "And?" "It didn't work." "You have no feelings for him." "He thinks I do." "You lied." "Lying about my emotions... was the only way I could convince Michael to return to Section." "Thank you, Nikita." "I did this for Section." "Not for you." "She said now that Michael's pet project is complete... he can concentrate on his job." "Nikita, a team player." "Never thought I'd see the day." " Did you read the sim?" " Twice." "We leave in an hour."
