"Hi!" "Oh, hey, sorry, I didn't mean to startle you." "Hey I think you- I think you dropped this." " No, that's not mine." " Are you sure?" "I'm sure I saw it come out of your jacket, or the bag." "I'm very sure." "Thanks anyway." "You wouldn't want to lose a glove on a day like this, it's cold." "I'm freezing." "Hey, I'm going to grab a coffee, would you like to join me or something?" "No, thanks." "No, really, I thought you dropped the glove, I'm sorry." "Goodbye." " Nikita, wait." " How do you know my name?" "I can get you out of Section One." " What are you talking about?" " There's a number, in this glove." " I don't know what you're talking about." " Don't play games, Nikita." "If you want to be free, I can make it happen." "Hey, Walter." " Can I ask you a question?" " What's up, Sugar?" "Does the Section ever test its operatives?" "Tempt them, for example?" "You gotta think of the Section as a living organism." "Like any organism, it will do whatever it has to to survive." "Be careful." "Good morning." " How's everything?" " Fine." " New glasses?" "Look good." " Thanks." "Don't go too far, we have a briefing in an hour." "Yesterday, two Marine guards were abducted from a South American embassy by a terrorist group called Tiburon." "The spokesman for that group is a man named Cassian Perez." "He sent this transmission an hour ago." "Several weeks ago, the government kidnapped some of my men." "Of course they called it an arrest." "Well, as you can see" "I have arrested some of your men in return." "The solution is simple: a trade." "Andrew Townsend, Lance Corporal, Serial Number 548723061." "They are brave young men." "Don't make me kill them." "You have 24 hours." "What are the chances of a trade?" "Considering Perez' men have been dead for several months, not too good." "Can we trace the transmission?" "It's scrambled." "We'll keep trying, but it's a long shot." "Perez has a brother named Jericho." "Our sources tell us they're very close." "If we can pick him up, we'll have significant leverage with Cassian." "He lives in a secluded place, heavily guarded." "Jer, can we eat?" "How long can it take to make soup?" "It's not soup, it's bouillabase." "It takes longer." "Then make soup." "I'm starving!" "Hey, hey, guys, guys, not in the kitchen!" " C'mon, let's go watch some TV." " They're just playing." "What's the point in giving the servants the night off if the kids are here?" " They should be at your mother's." " I told you, she got sick!" " That looks awful." " Just try it." " What if I don't want to?" " What if I smack you in the head?" "Jeez, Jer!" "What's the matter?" "Paul, everything okay?" "Paul?" "What's happening?" "Mike?" "Mike, where the hell are you guys?" "Take the kids to our room, now!" "Go!" " What's happening?" " Hurry." "Go, go." "Why did the lights go out?" "Mommy!" " Drop it." " Who are you?" " Drop it." " He said, drop it." " Jericho!" " Get out of here!" "Hold fire." "Jer, no!" "Mommy?" "Go back, go back." "It's all right." " No one's going to hurt you." " What happened to my mom?" "Is she okay?" "Take him to the van and get a body bag for her." "Take care of him." "I thought there weren't supposed to be any kids?" "There weren't." "Michael, they just watched their mother get shot." "It can't be helped, Nikita." " Hey, Carla." " Hey." "What's going on in here?" "Sorry about that." "I was just working out." " Got something to tell you." " I really love this song." " I met someone." " Surprise, surprise." " No, no, this one's different." " Sure he is." " Want some water?" " Sure." "He's a musician." "I know musicians are trouble, but he's a classical musician, that can't be that bad, right?" " You okay?" " Yeah, I'm fine." "It's nothing really." "Yeah, well, it's something." "What's wrong?" "Something happened today." "Saw a car accident." "Mother was killed in front of her kids." " It was awful." " Wow" "Where?" "Downtown." "I kept thinking I should have done something, you know?" " What could you have done?" " I don't know." "I could've..." "I just can't really get the sound of the kids crying out of my mind." " Hello." " I'm ready." " Meet me at my apartment in one hour." " I'll be there." "How do you know me?" "Who sent you?" "Nobody sent me." " How do you know about Section One?" " I'm in it, just like you." "Prove it." "Life in the Section, Nikita." "Everyone is watched." "They have a camera mounted over your stove and in the corner of your bedroom ceiling." " How do you know all this?" " Because that's my job." "Watching." "They don't exactly give me a choice." " They watch all the time?" " No, not all the time." "But enough to make sure everyone's under control." " Nikita, don't walk away from me!" " How do you know you weren't followed?" "I don't, not for sure, but I've been careful or I wouldn't have gotten this far." "If you hate living like this as much as I do, then let's do something about it." " Even if we got away, they'd find us." " Not if we don't exist." " They'd kill us." " No, I've created a computer virus that'll erase us from their files completely." " We'd be ghosts." " Why me?" "Because the plan takes two, and I know you." "I know I can trust you." "What's your plan?" "You were out last night." "I called to ask if you wanted to get a cup of coffee." " Why?" " I like coffee." "First you compliment me on my new sunglasses, and now you're asking me out for coffee?" " I've been thinking about you lately." " And what have you been thinking?" "That we might spend more time together outside the Section." "I didn't think there was anything outside Section." "There is." "We just received another transmission." "I have seen too many comrades lose loved ones in our struggle for freedom to give in at the thought of losing my brother." "As much as I love him," "I would not lift a finger to save Jericho." "But if you do not release him," "I will kill the second hostage." "The first I have already killed in retaliation for the death of my brother's wife." " Did we get anything out of Jericho?" " No." "He'd have told us in the first thirty seconds." "But we may be able to use him later on." "We've developed a mission profile thanks to the help of Mr. Birkoff." "This second transmission was scrambled like the first." "But I put together a signal averaging program." "I think we have a location." "An old stadium in Kosatz." "Memorize the schematic." "There'll be a lot of nooks and crannies that didn't show up on the schematic." "Be careful." "Blow it." "They've taken the other one somewhere else?" "We don't know that." "Let's spread out." "Let's go." "There's a tunnel under the stadium that exits to the west." " We didn't find the hostage yet." " We'll be out of the city in a half hour." "I'll tap in and activate the virus." "Then we're free." "Now, come on." " Do you hear that?" " No!" "No, there's no time!" "Come on!" "Damn it, Nikita, come on!" "Hold it right there." "Turn around." "Put the gun down." "Slowly." "Come on!" " We heard shooting." " Yeah, there was." "No hostages in sight." "I took down one of theirs." "Then you were right." "He's been moved." "We'll have to start all over again." "Everything was perfect." "All we had to do was" "Why did you wait?" "Why didn't you just go without me?" "The plan takes two people." "It doesn't take two people to run through a tunnel." "Is this some kind of game the Section's playing with me?" " No." " Don't lie to me." " I won't." " Then why didn't you go?" "I couldn't." "Not without you." "All those hours watching you..." "I couldn't go without you." "You're different than them, Nikita, you're like me." "And I" " I know that we could be happy together." "I" " I can" " I can feel it." "I" " I know you don't feel the same way... but maybe- maybe in time..." "Listen, let's- let's just get out- either way, and whatever happens, happens, okay?" "And just one thing." "You have a lot of reasons to stay in Section." "But if you decide to stay in the Section because of Michael, please... don't." "Why would I stay because of Michael?" "I've seen your face when he calls." "He doesn't feel the same way, Nikita." " Do you watch him too?" " Enough to know." "They're working on Jericho now." "He can't last long." "When they get what they need, they'll be calling us." "Be ready." "Okay?" "Do you want something to eat?" "Just water." " How are my kids?" " The kids are fine." " Can I see them?" " That's up to you." "I keep telling you, I don't know where my brother is keeping this guy." "I believe you." "But I want you to find out." "Contact your brother, tell him you're hurt." "They'll bring you to him." "And wherever he is, that's where the hostage is." " I'll not betray my brother." " Not even to see your children again?" "You're all they've have now, since you killed your wife." "Or would you really rather sacrifice your life for this?" "I will not lift a finger to save Jericho." "I will not lift a finger to save Jericho." "I will not lift a finger to save Jericho." "I will not lift a finger to save Jericho." "I will not lift a finger to save Jericho." "I will not lift a finger to save Jericho." " You just let him walk out of here?" " He knows we're watching him." "What if he decides not to betray his brother?" " He'll betray him." " Because of the tape?" "Now, tapes can be tampered with." "Jericho knows that as well as we do." "He wants to be free." "The tape just gave him an excuse." "In the meantime, my advice is to assemble the team." "They'll be needed soon." "The building is empty; the hostage is on the top floor." "You'll take the point." "Your job is to scout for personnel locations." "We'll have a few seconds." "You'll have to be quick and accurate." " Understand?" " I understand." " You're here late." " Just going over the parameters again." "That's not like you." "You're usually a quick study." "I must be getting more dedicated to my work." "Somehow I don't think it's the mission you're having trouble figuring out." "How did he get here?" "What's his life like outside?" "Does he even have one?" "Would knowing the answers make you perform your mission more efficiently?" "It might." "Is it his life you want to know about?" "Or his heart?" "Does he even have a heart?" " Michael loved once, very deeply." " Simone." "Some men can only love once." "Whether Michael's like that or not, I don't really know." "Gee, Madeline, I thought you knew everything." "I know what I need to know, Nikita." "If you can say the same, you'll be all right." " Get some rest." " Good night, Madeline." "Nikita, this is Eric." "Don't worry, this call is secure." " Has the Section contacted you yet?" " No." "They will." "The mission could go anytime." " I'll be ready." " I hope so." "Nikita, I want you to understand, this is our last chance." "Nikita?" "Nikita!" "?" "We're on standby, so I thought we could go over that plan again." "I know the plan." "I'm sure you do, too." "May I come in?" "Of course." "Then we could have that cup of coffee." "Or the drink." "All right." "No need to leave the apartment." "Whatever you have will be fine." " Well, what if I'm out of everything?" " That will be fine, too." "Are you trying to seduce me?" "I've never been able to figure you out." "Why should today... be different?" "It's very simple." "After Simone, I thought if I ever cared for anyone again... it would have to be someone from outside the Section." "But I was wrong." "No one from the outside can understand who we are." "We fight all the time just to stay alive." "Let's not fight what's between us." "Let's take what we can get." " Yes?" " We're ready to move." "Elevator, fifteen minutes." "Ready." "Let's go." " Whoa!" " Hey, hey, hey!" "Who are you?" "I'm the temp that was ordered." "We didn't order any temp." "These elevators aren't even supposed to be working." "What's going on?" "We're security." "There have been some break-ins in here lately." "Oh, I guess the Agency just sent me to the wrong building." "I" " I guess they did." " Excuse me." "Sorry." "We're set." "Elevator panel activated." "Why did you let her go?" "Someone might have seen her come into the building." "We'll be out by tonight, anyway." "Two guards directly in front of the elevator." " Two more are on the southwest corner." " The hostage?" "Not in my sights; he must be in the northwest corner." "The deadline is here with no word from your friends." "Any last words?" "Andrew Townsend, Lance Corporal, 548723061." "Goodbye." "Secure the prisoner." "Make sure the floor's clear." "Hi." "You ready?" "Let's do it." "Come on." "Nikita, listen to me." "At the end of the hall, there's a bridge to the building across the street." "The virus is ready to go." "In five minutes, we'll vanish into thin air." " Yeah." " Okay?" " Okay." " Come on." "Nikita, he does not love you!" "You go." "No." "Go." "All right, um..." "Well I'll" " I'll take you out of the virus then." "Goodbye." " Didn't you have another weapon?" " Not this trip." "My report tells me that you had a snub-nosed .357." "I'm afraid I'm gonna have to search you." "Really?" "Go ahead." "Brat." " How's the hostage?" " He'll be fine." "Something came up." "Eric didn't come back with the rest of the team and some sort of virus erased him from our primary database." "You mean there's a backup system?" "He won't get far." "And anyone who went with him, wouldn't have either." "You knew about his plan all the time, didn't you?" "This was all one big manipulation to keep me from going with him, wasn't it?" "To keep you alive." "But why?" "Why bother?" "Welcome back, Michael." "Prepare a plan and a shadow team." "We'll need a psychological profile on all the major players including" " What's this?" " Your cameras." "I'm not having them in my apartment any more." " You're not?" " No." " And if you don't like it, you can" " We can what?" "Cancel me, because I'd rather be dead than watched like an animal in the zoo." " Are you sure about that?" " I'm very sure." "Cancel surveillance on Nikita, at least for the time being." "Now, where were we?"
