" Are you all right?" " I'm fine." "You sure?" "Yes." "Unbelievable!" "Didn't even stop!" "My bag." "Oh, don't tell me." "Someone stole my shopping bag." "Serves you right." "Next time you'll mind your own business." "It's all right, I'll replace anything that was in it." "Just a pair of shoes." "I'll replace it myself, thank you." "Dinner then?" "Probably can't rely on our meeting like this." "I'm glad I could help." "At least tell me your name." "I'm Alec Chandler." "Nice to meet you, Alec Chandler." "Find out who she is." "OK, it's been eight hours." "You'd think he would have called by now." "The set up worked perfectly." "He thinks you saved his life." "Why didn't you accept his invitation?" "Suppose he doesn't call?" "He'll call." "Tracing on this line." "Hello?" "So you spend most of your time on the boat?" "A fair amount." "I have an office on board." "And a bed." "What exactly is that you do?" "I'm mostly retired as you can see." "I do some investing, a little charity work." "Oh yeah?" "What kind of charity?" "I work with street kids." "I set up shelters and house them, give them a good meal." "I bet they think it is." "Well, they're mostly interested to know where their next meal is coming from." "Not like they can go home and get a hug from Mom and Dad." "Got that right." "I pretty much grew up on the street myself." "You've done very well." "Well the one thing about the streets is that you learn to take care of yourself." "That, some brains, a little luck." "Ah, George." "I think you'll enjoy this selection." "Actually, George comes from downtown." "I pay him extra for the phony accent." "I'd like to see one of these shelters." "Well, there's not really very much to see." "But if you're really interested, I'd be delighted." "I'm really interested." "It's one of the first shelters I set up." "It reminded me of the street back home that I grew up on." "I come here pretty often just so I don't forget; so I don't end up back there again." "That doesn't seem too likely." "Don't kid yourself." "We all live on the edge, every one of us." "If you don't keep moving up, you slide back down." "You all right?" "You looking for work?" "Yeah, like hell." "Come on, we can use your ideas." "Help me, eh?" "You're here late." "I'm a driven man, Nikita." "When I start something, I can't stop, even if it takes days." "That's how it would be with you and me, a non-stop sweat." "You're truly dedicated, Walter." "You're the only one here who understands me, Sugar." "How did it go?" "Fine." " Does he want to see you again?" " He wants to know more." "I think he's having me followed." "Who is this guy?" "He launders money." "Your job is to get close to him." "Identify his key contacts." "That's it?" "He launders money?" "Thank you, Nikita." "That's all." " Maybe we should tell her." " No." "It's better this way." " She likes him." " Oh, yes!" "Get the best rate you can." "Then arbitrage against the others until the market opens." "Get out." " We're having a meeting here!" " So am I!" "You're not invited!" "You heard the lady." "You're having me followed." "You are used to owning things, Alec." "You don't own me, do you understand?" "If you wanna keep seeing me, you better." "Nikita!" "I'm sorry." "Stay." "It's late." "I'm going home to bed." " Alone?" " That's none of your business." "But, yes." "Alone." "I don't see anything." "There's a better way to do this." "Ah, what about here?" "Could that be some sort of code?" "I can't tell." "The resolution's lousy." "Where was the camera?" " In her watch." " You tell her to hold still next time." "You try snapping take pictures when you are supposed to be throwing a fit." "Is Madeline in?" "Yeah, she's in her office." "Why?" "Need a dress for Saturday night." " Didn't you just go shopping?" " Couldn't find anything." "Uh-oh." "She's hot for the guy." "Up yours, Birkoff!" "Anytime, Babe." "My number's in the book." "That must be a stud, huh?" "Am I forgiven?" "For what?" "For having you followed the other day." "The trip." "Ask about the trip." "I'm having a fund-raiser for the shelters tomorrow night." "Will you come?" "Of course." "If you come to hockey Saturday night." "Unfortunately, I'm out of town for the weekend." "Business trip?" "It doesn't really matter." "What are you thinking?" "About you." "About the street you grew up on." "Not unlike the one I grew up on." "I know." "No." "It's not that it shows." "Well, a little in your eyes." "You're a fighter." "You've survived." "You and Mr. Chandler were having quite a time together." "Why didn't you question him about the trip?" "Because he wouldn't have told me." "You don't know that." "What is he doing that's so evil?" "I told you." "He launders money." "He also happens to spend a lot of it helping children." "You don't have to like the job." "You just have to do it." "I'll be at the party tomorrow night." "His perimeter security is very tight." "We'll have to work from the inside." "You'll be briefed in the morning." "And, ah, get rid of the cat." "It's a distraction." "When you walked in, it was the first thing you noticed." "If I were an enemy, you'd be dead by now." "Sometimes I think you are the enemy." "Get rid of the cat." "Our intel is excellent." "Chandler has links to the Russian Mafia, to the Triads and through them to terrorists on both hemispheres." "But we need some leverage." "We have to catch him in the act, in other words." "In the act." "And alive." "And Nikita is the key." "How is she doing?" "All right." "I'd suggest the one beside it." "Does he trust her?" "So far." "Is she sleeping with him?" "I don't think so." "Whatever it takes." "Do you hear me?" "I heard you." "So, when completed, the new Chandler Foundation facility will be the finest in the city." "As you can see, we're already two-thirds financed." "Now, I hope that before the end of the the evening, with your help, we'll reach our final target." "Thank you all very much for coming." "Enjoy the party." "And please, don't be afraid to be very generous." "Thank you very much." "Ooooo!" "Why don't you make a charitable contribution to me?" "That is not a good call, Jack." " It's alright, Alec." " My mistake, Mr. Chandler." "I'm sorry." "Oh, you'll have to forgive me." "There's something I must take care of." "I'll be right back." "Perfect." "I'll go powder my nose." "Don't get lost." "Excuse me!" "Listen, what happened before." "I'm sorry." "I..." "I thought you were one of his, um..." "That's ok." "Really." "Yeah." "The thing is." "I really need Alex's business." "I'll put in a good word." "I'd..." "I'd appreciate that." "Ok." "Actually, I'm rather in a hurry" "Oh, yeah." "Are you gonna be long in there?" "I'll be out in a minute." "Thank you!" "Hardin's on-line." "He's wiring the money." "Transfer completed." "Acknowledge receipt." "Graystone." "All caps." "Hardin wants to know the middle man." "We'll use Skyler on this one." "Everything's confirmed." "Good." "Secure the system." "Mr. Chandler." "Look, I think your girlfriend may not be feeling well." "Nikita?" "Nikita, are you all right?" "Nikita?" "Are you all right?" "I was worried about you." "I'm all right now." "You hair..." "Your hair's damp." "Oh, I splashed a little water on my face, but I'm feeling much better." "I just got a little..." "All right." "Well, let's go back to the party." "It's downloading." "He's home free." "Using the middle man name:" "Skyler." "Get out of there Michael, they're tracking you." "We are downloading a serious main brief program." "Run the amplifier." "Sir?" "You're not supposed to be in this part of the boat." "But- you can't find a damn bathroom on this tub." "And I've gotta find one quick." "The bathroom's one deck above, sir." " Thank you." " You're welcome." "Excuse me." "It's a routine security check." "Good night." "Thank you very much." "Goodbye." "No, it's just procedure." "What's going on?" "Someone's been tampering with my files." "It seems that I never learn." "I still trust people I shouldn't." "Hey, great party, Mr. Chandler." "Hey, listen, I'm giving you guys 20 minutes to cut that out." "Well... you take what you can get." "Right, pal?" "You take someone in." "You trust them." "And then they betray you." "Mr. Chandler, I didn't do this." "I swear to you." "Why would I?" "That disk..." "Somebody must have planted that disk on me." "There was a" "There was a gentleman in the corridor." "He seemed drunk." "Maybe he wasn't." "He" "She knows him!" "They were looking at each other at the party." "Come on!" "I saw them!" "Mr. Chandler, she's setting you up." "Ah, Mikey..." " Mikey, Mikey, Mikey..." " Mr. Chandler." "I took you off the streets." "Gave you a job." "Gave you a life." "This is my reward?" "You've got it all wrong." "You have no idea how sorry this makes me, Mikey." "There's really no excuse for betrayal." "Now, is there?" "Is there?" "I never want to see your face again." "Get him out of here." "Oh, I'm so sorry." "I" "It spoiled the whole evening." "I'm gonna go check the system to see how much damage has been done." "Of course." "Alec?" "Good night." "Good night." "Did we get what we needed?" "Yes." "So our mission's over." " Not quite." " Why not?" "Ah." "Because we haven't cause enough much pain." "Because he's still standing." "You've become quite fond of him." "What's it to you?" " We found Skyler." " Is he ready to talk?" "I think so." "Where are you going?" "I'm coming with you." "It doesn't concern you." "Well, if it concerns Alec..." "Chandler... it concerns me." "Well, by all means." "Come." "He has a meet this weekend." "With who?" "A guy." "Named Hardin." "Chandler's got a shipment of kids." "What time?" "Whoa, whoa, whoa." "What kids?" "What kids?" "What time?" "Hasn't been set yet." "Are you... are you talking about the shelters?" "Yeah, right." "What is going on?" "Listen, if you can take down Chandler, more power to you." "But leave me out of it." "He never gave me a choice." "It was either play ball or play dead." "What does he do with the kids?" " What does he do with the kids?" "!" " Hey, they're big business." "I mean, they work hard, you don't have to pay them, they don't fight back." "And then there's the perverts." "Alec Chandler's a slaver." "The shelters are a perfect front." "He works with homes; moves kids around all over the world." "Makes them disappear." "Hey, I never liked what he did." "But face it, half these kids are from the street." "It's not like they're breaking up a family." "Thank you." "Launders money!" "You told me he launders money!" " He does." " Why didn't you tell me the truth?" "You had to get close to him." "Care for him." "Make him care for you." "You couldn't have done that if you knew who he really was." "Not enough to lie to them." "Gotta lie to each other, too." "You have to go back to him." "Convince him to take you along this weekend." "You do what you have to do, Nikita." "I'll be back on Tuesday afternoon." "And well done, Greg." "We're getting a very good price for this one." " Mr. Chandler?" " Yes, Kenny?" "We've been doing some maintenance work, sir." "I sent a couple of divers down and they came up with this." "It's a Browning 28 tracking device." "I thought only the Israelis were using these." "Well, we found it attached to the hull under your office." "How long do you think it's been down there?" "It's not corroded sir, no more than two or three days." " The night of the party." " May be." "Mr. Chandler?" "Call George Hardin." " Advance the meeting." " Yes, sir." "Nikita!" "I thought I'd surprise you." "This is a business trip." "Nobody can work 24 hours a day." "Yes, I suppose you're right." "I thought we'd make this trip special." "Hmmm." "Then let's make it very special." " Care for a drink?" " No, thank you." " I'm glad you came." " Me, too." " Very glad." " I said no." "I think you're gonna need it." "I think I'll come back when you're in a better mood." "Congratulations, Nikita." "You had me completely fooled." "And you made me kill a friend." "An innocent friend." "You sell children!" "You're scum!" "No." "No, no." "No, I don't sell them all." "Some are even gifts." "Call it... customer relations." "You're being naive, Nikita." "They'd all be dead in a year or two." "And I don't send any of them anywhere they haven't already been." "Is that what you tell yourself when you look in the mirror?" "Who do you work for?" "I asked you a question." "Who do you work for?" "All right." "Doesn't matter." "We'll come to it later." "I told you how I feel... about betrayal." "What you have done to me goes so far beyond betrayal, that thinking of a way of getting even hasn't been easy." "But, you know, I think I may have it now." "You see, children aren't the only ones that can be sold." "There's still a very reasonable market in mature flesh." "The first thing that your new owners will do will be to turn you into an addict." "Two weeks is all it takes." "And then you will do anything, absolutely anything to get your next fix." "And believe me, they'll find plenty of things for you to do." "And when they tire of you, which they inevitably will, they'll sell you to a house in the Middle East maybe, or Asia." "And you will be dead inside a year." "But you will wish you had been dead a long time before that." "When I get back you'll pay for that." "But then perhaps you can just consider it as part of your training for your new life." "Can I have a cigarette?" "Please, can I have a cigarette?" "Can I have a light?" "Where are the kids?" "I don't know." "I..." "I..." "I'd tell you, but Chandler will kill me." "He's not here." "I am." "You're late." "You're ugly." "Let's cut the pleasantries." "This weather's playing havoc with my shoes." "Where's the goods?" "Bring it up." " All tight." "Butch?" " Jerry." "Very good." "Take it away." "All right, my friend." "They're all yours." "Put your weapons on the ground." "Don't shoot him!" "Don't anybody move!" "Or I'll torch the kids." "Put it out." "Go ahead, drop it." "And watch them burn." "I want a car." "Make that an armored car with a driver of my choosing." "No." "No?" "That wasn't a request little fella; that was an order." "Unless you wanna see the children die." "So what's it going to be?" "Last chance." "Don't you want to know why you're still alive?" "I'm listening." " You shouldn't have interfered." " I didn't." "Just went for the lighter." "He was going to set fire to the truck." "He was bluffing." "We needed Chandler alive." "He was the bridge to the next level." " What next level?" " That's none of your concern." "Well, the lives of those children were worth thousands of your next levels." "We decide that." " Not you." " They were innocent children." "Innocent... children." "Can I come in?" " What do you want?" " I came to apologize." "You know, you are coming very predictable, Michael." "You lie, then you say you're sorry." "You lie, then you say you're sorry." "Can you come up with anything a little more interesting?" "I do what I have to do." "We all do." "It's not what I would choose for myself or for us." "Us?" "Will you answer a question for me?" "If I can." "Why shouldn't I  just kill you?" "Hmmm?" "Why shouldn't I just pull the trigger?" "I can't think of a single reason."
