"Hey, Yoshi." "All right, all right." "I'll be there in a second." "Hey, Yosh." "Hmm?" "You miss him, too, huh?" "You wanna go outside?" "Go sidey?" "Come on." "In a minute, Yosh." "Calm down." "I'm almost ready." "How did you leave the scene?" "I tossed the room, took the money from her purse." "It'll look like a robbery." "That's good." "You've eliminated a security threat to our country, and you've successfully completed your training." "Thom." "You're an agent now." "Intel on target was solid." "I know." "I wasn't fast enough." "It doesn't make sense." "They made it look like a home invasion..." "No questions asked." "Call the police." "Have them ask." "No." "Division doesn't know I'm involved yet." "I want to use that against them." "Thom." "Hey." "I was just, uh..." "I was just waiting for you." "I just wanted to say good-bye." "What do you mean?" "I mean, uh, I'm moving out of here, movin' up." "I graduated." "Heh." "I'm a field agent as of tonight." "Don't get too excited." "So that means you had to..." "Tonight?" "Yeah." "Cool." "Cool?" "That's all you're gonna say?" "What do you want me to say?" "I don't know." "How 'bout congratulations?" "Congratulations." "Hey, Yoshi." "Where's Mario?" "Oh, thank you." "Hey." "Is there anything you wanna tell me about your owner that I don't know?" "Hmm?" "All I got is Anna Harcourt, 25 years old, born in Bethesda, graduated George Washington University, 2009, bachelor's degree in baltic-slavic languages." "Hmm." "I thought so." "Let's see what was on your camera." "Young intern in Washington gets to meet a lot of people." "Low-level intern with no access." "Why did they kill you?" "Hey, Yoshi." "You recognize this guy?" "You make a mojito?" "Tough order for a dive." "Lucky you found a star bartender." "It'll take a sec." "Good." "We can talk while you work." "Justice department?" "Doing background checks on some of our employees." "Your girlfriend, Anna." "Ex-girlfriend." "She in trouble?" "Like I said, just doing background checks." "Pretty standard for anyone who's applying for this level of clearance." "Well, you probably know more than me." "Don't know much about her background." "We broke up before I could meet her folks." "How long were you guys together?" "5 months, 2 weeks, 3 days." "How many hours and seconds?" "Heh heh." "Actually, it was probably around 11 p.m., like when my shift started." "Then she teased me about my tats." "I teased her about her power suit." "We just hit it off." "So, uh, why'd you guys break up?" "Her job." "She was always stressed about it." "Uh, last time I saw her was about a week ago." "She came by." "I could tell she'd been crying." "Said she had something she needed to tell me." "I said, "Anna, you've had something" ""you've needed to tell me since we met." "Just say it already."" "But she couldn't, uh, said that I wouldn't understand, and then I said something back, and she just left." "That's it?" "Really?" "She was upset, so I followed her, figured she'd head home, but she went downtown instead." "I watched her walk into one of those private clubs near Capitol Hill." "Way above her paygrade." "So there was someone else." "You ever confront her about it?" "She wants someone more connected, someone from the same world as her, that's fine." "I just wish she would have told the truth." "Do you remember the address of the club?" "Is anyone here?" "Hello?" "Relax, Jack." "Regal House is as private as it gets." "You should know that better than anyone." "I still don't know why it's necessary for us to come back here now that you've solved the problem already." "This isn't me and you sneaking sorority girls into the dorm anymore, Jack." "You're a U.S. senator now." "We have to get rid of all the evidence." "That's what my friend here does." "You tell him which rooms you did the dirty things in, and he'll clean them up." "Well, we, uh..." "We usually had drinks down here." "Then we would move upstairs, the guest bedroom, first door on the left." "So the conference room and the bedroom." "No debriefings in the executive office?" "Percy, please, I just want this to go away." "Any connection between you and Anna Harcourt will be erased." "In 2 days, the D.C. police will find the body, the victim of a senseless home invasion." "End of story." "I hate to be the guy that does a favor and then asks for one in return, but that new intelligence bill, the one with the 55 million in black-budget earmarks," "I need that to pass." "It's 5 votes short." "That's why we got you the chairmanship." "Want you to call a meeting, all the senators in your committee tomorrow night." "Turn on the beltway charm and convince them to vote yes." "Well, I suppose it's the least I can do." "The very least." "What?" "Uh, the target from yesterday, she's still dead, right?" "'Cause she just clocked in to work." "Key card for Anna Harcourt has her getting off on the fourth floor right..." "Now." "Did the police find the girl's body?" "Got nothing from 911, so..." "How the hell did she know?" "How does she know anything?" "She knows our protocol and that we would flag that key card." "I want the laptop from Harcourt's apartment scanned, and I want a strike team sent out to D.C. Now." "Hey." "You're not Anna." "I know." "Am I gonna have to call security?" "I'm 3 floors up." "Anna's out sick." "I'm just getting her files." "She never mentioned you." "That is probably because she doesn't like talking to you." "Ho ho ho ho." "Hey, hey." "Play nice, or I'm not gonna take your number from you when you give it to me." "Chip!" "Mail cart!" "You're gonna miss me when I'm gone." "Just sent Nikita's face to building security." "Michael is en route with a strike team, ETA 2 minutes." "Initial sweep of Anna's laptop, techs were going over her calendar, and, uh..." "Whoa." "Surprise." "Dr. Reed's office." "Hi." "It's Anna Harcourt." "Did I owe you guys a call?" "Hi, Anna." "Let me get the doctor." "Hi." "How are you feeling?" "Fine, I think." "Nausea subsided?" "No." "Well, look, it's nothing to worry about, completely normal for the beginning of the first trimester." "Anna?" "Are you all right?" "Yeah." "Father's gonna be surprised." "That's all." "Oh, the results of the paternity test aren't in yet." "Hey, chip." "Whoa." "Hey, easy." "You can buy me a drink first." "Hey, wait." "Is that permanent marker?" "It is if you're lucky." "Location?" "Sixth floor." "911." "What's your emergency?" "I heard my neighbor screaming." "926 Arbor Street." "Please send someone." "She's over here!" "Down the stairs!" "She just moved down to floor 3." "Hmm." "911 just dispatched cops to check in on a disturbance at Anna Harcourt's apartment." "Nikita called it in." "Why do that?" "She's doing our job for us 2 days early." "That was before we knew the girl was pregnant." "If the cops find the body, they're gonna run an autopsy." "Linking the baby's DNA to senator Kerrigan." "Smart, Nikki." "Not smart enough." "Always have a backup plan." "Got her." "Conference room, first floor." "All right, nobody move." "Who was the last one in here?" "Who?" "!" "I was." "Where's your key card?" "I..." "In my pocket." "Hello?" "!" "Hello?" "Hello?" "I got nothin' back here." "Excuse me, sir." "You heard any screams out here in the past 5 minutes or so?" "Haven't heard a thing." "Thank you, sir." "Uhh!" "Yeah?" "All that training, and they never taught you how to tie a Windsor?" "I knew how to do this before without even looking." "Before Division." "First, jacket off." "I'm sorry about before." "That's okay." "They said she was a security threat." "They wouldn't have put a hit on someone if they weren't sure." "But you're not sure." "She saw me." "Right before I pulled the trigger, she turned and saw me." "She saw my gun, and she didn't even scream." "I just don't know why she didn't scream." "So how do you know Anna?" "Well..." "You work with her?" "No." "Then you're friends?" "Not exactly." "I don't understand." "It's hard to explain." "Well, maybe you should explain why you're here." "Otherwise, I'm gonna have to ask you to leave." "Anna's dead." "That's not possible." "We haven't heard from anyone." "I'm calling Anna now." "The police haven't called, nobody." "Honey, she's not answering." "Ohh." "You won't hear from the police." "The people who did this are above the law." "Well, what does that mean, "Above the law"?" "When did this happen?" "Anna was pregnant..." "By a man she knew, a U.S. senator." "His name is Jack Kerrigan." "He didn't want the affair to go public, so he had her killed." "What?" "Listen, I want to help you get justice for Anna, but I need your help." "She may have had a prenatal paternity test done." "If she did, DNA from the test will prove the affair." "The doctors might allow you, her parents, access to those results, but we need to hurry." "Ok, the people who did this are thinking the same thing." "And they'll probably... uhh!" "I thought she was FBI, but the way she fights..." "Look what she did to Irena." "You made a mess." "Ask me." "Ask you what?" "Who I work for." "You're wondering." "Oh, when I get started on you, I won't have to ask you anything, because you're just going to tell me everything I want to know." "You know, you guys should consider using more than one photo." "So Anna was spying on senator Kerrigan, her parents were her handlers, and you work for Gogol." "Gogol?" "You mean like the search engine?" "No, like the Russian mercenary company of which you are a highly ranked member, Ari Tasarov, former KGB, drafted by the group in '95, went private with Gogol in '97 after the Russian economy boomed." "Did you buy one of my trading cards?" "You were my target once, '06." "Division tried to kill me in '06?" "Ankara, basketball game." "Kayseri stadium up in the catwalks." "Why didn't you take the shot?" "Because your 8-year-old son was sitting next to you." "A killer with a conscience." "It's no wonder they cut you loose." "You should know 2 things first." "Your genius handler right here used a nonsecure line." "Division already knows you're in town." "He's already been chastised." "Second thing?" "Before you pull the trigger, you should know my name." "All right, this is the handler whose data we intercepted." "This is the one being handled, an agent known as Anna Harcourt, assigned to seduce and spy on a United States senator." "Fortunately, we were able to take her out of the equation 2 nights ago." "This is her boss, Ari Tasarov, a high-ranking member of Gogol." "I suspect his retaliation will be to terminate Gogol's original target, senator Jack Kerrigan." "We cannot let that happen." "You have your orders." "Kerrigan's our strongest ally in the senate." "He's someone I trust." "It's a rare combination." "Why not just call off the meeting tonight?" "Because $55 million in funding is at stake, and he's getting us the votes we need tonight." "I'm not gonna disturb that meeting." "And you're convinced Ari's gonna take out the senator." "It's what I would do if I were him." "It's the rules of the game." "So you're Nikita." "Oh, you know, you should have just said so to begin with." "Percy sent you to kill me 4 years ago?" "I gotta tell you, that's a bit of an ego boost." "Then allow me to humble you." "Your info tap on senator Kerrigan died with Anna." "You know, I think Division did us a favor there." "Anna got sloppy, fell in love with a civilian, bartender." "Same as you, if the rumors are true." "What is it with female operatives that draws them to weak, easily manipulated men?" "You are very lucky that I am tied up right now." "I don't doubt it." "It's that rage that makes you perfect for this." "Perfect for what?" "Rules of the game." "Percy destroyed our asset, so now I'm going to destroy his." "Senator Kerrigan dies tonight." "You kill a U.S. senator, you start a war." "That's why we're going to outsource the job." "To who?" "To a rogue american spy seeking revenge against the government that created her." "Kalitrol-226..." "Nasty little toxin developed by Division." "We reverse-engineered it." "In 12 hours, that chemical will start a chain reaction that will liquefy your stomach." "You get the antitoxin when the senator's dead." "Go to hell." "That could be salt water for all I know." "Oh." "Go ahead." "Have it tested." "I'm not working for you." "You don't have a choice, Nikita, because you can't just walk in to Division and grab the antitoxin, and you don't have enough time to get it manufactured, so the only way you go on living" "is to play nice and obey." "'Cause if we walk out that door, you will never see us again." "Hmm?" "Wait." "My tools, my way." "The corner of Sixth and Radcliff, 8:00." "Vladimir will meet you there." "You have to do what Gogol says." "No, I don't." "Then you'll die." "Not if you get the antitoxin." "It's in medical somewhere." "It's a pill." "If the toxin is in a red bottle." "The antitoxin will be green." "The toxin is black, the antitoxin..." "Wait." "Stop." "Medical locked down 24/7." "Alex, there is no other way." "Michael will be activated on the op." "Plant the pill on him." "If you don't do this, I'm dead." "I won't let you down." "No." "I want in." "Is that all you got?" "Chill." "Aah!" "Gaah!" "I still think it's just bruising." "Look, I'll get you some anti-inflammatory cream." "That should do it." "It's more than just a bruise." "I'm telling you." "Look at it again." "How's that?" "Well, it might be a fracture." "Might be?" "Can't you be more thorough?" "It hurts." "I'm not faking this." "Fine." "I'll go set up the x-ray." "Wait here." "Just don't move." "Damn it." "Hey." "What happened?" "I heard you broke your wrist." "No." "I..." "I'm fine." "Did Michael leave already?" "Uh, he's heading up a protection detail." "We're guarding a U.S. senator." "We?" "Yeah." "I was guarding the senator, too." "I just didn't know about it." "Hey..." "The girl I killed was a russian spy." "So she wasn't innocent." "This is real, huh?" "You're gonna be going out there on missions from now on." "Yeah." "That's the plan." "Um..." "Be careful." "I will." "Now I'm your handler." "Get in." "This is how I monitor you." "Check, check." "Big Russian bear has a boo-boo." "Are you gonna wear that?" "Be easier if you went in wearing next to nothing." "Vladimir, if I need mission advice," "I'll ask a real agent." "Ok, perimeter protection only." "We've already got men guarding the entrances, and rooftops are secure." "If you see anything suspicious, call it in first." "Clear." "Clear." "Want to live?" "Do as I say." "Station 3." "Go ahead." "I've got an SUV, someone inside." "Looks like they have monitoring equipment." "Thought I saw movement." "Possible armed agents." "Keep your eyes on it." "Ari's men are already outside." "Bring the senator in here discreetly." "South perimeter clear." "We've extracted the senator and are moving him to the kitchen." "What the hell is going on?" "This is just a precaution, senator." "I'm sure it's nothing." "Ooh." "Hey." "I remember you." "Bathroom at the Wyckland Hotel." "Yeah." "I owe you one." "Feeling cocky in that suit?" "We're gonna stand right here, and when I don't check in, backup will come." "You know what?" "You're right." "Now you owe me twice." "Congratulations, by the way." "Please, I'm begging you." "You killed someone, and that someone had friends." "Forward agent is down." "There may be one more out there." "Be on the lookout." "Hey, listen to this." "What is it?" "Please don't." "Please." "Please don't." "Turn around." "Please don't." "That's the senator, but who the hell is..." "Turn around." "No." "Please." "Nikita's inside." "She's got him." "Move!" "Move!" "Listen to me." "I didn't know they were gonna kill her." "You lie!" "I know how far you and Percy go back." "You knew." "How many other girls were there?" "They were grown-ups." "They knew what theye're getting themselves into." "Except this one was a Russian spy, and she had friends with guns." "You finally got bitten in the ass." "I didn't know she was a spy, and I didn't know she was pregnant." "Would that have made a difference?" "Please." "Please don't." "Turn around." "Please don't." "Turn around!" "Please don't." "Please don't." "Perimeter, check in now." "North and east side, secure." "South and west side secure." "She's still here." "But there is surely evil in the world." "Moral authority demands..." "Moral authority?" "Based on what?" "Where you happen to be born or what you happen to be born with?" "You're not really trying to understand the whole of society from your perch here at the Regal House, are you?" "It seems a larger perspective may be in order." "Well, we're trying to do that." "Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself." "Senator, this must be the protection detail you told me about." "Protection detail?" "To, uh, make sure we're not disturbed this evening." "Senator, may I speak with you?" "Can it wait?" "Not really." "Is this the bodyguard you mentioned?" "Bodyguard?" "The one who served his country, a true patriot." "Oh." "Where'd you serve, son?" "Uh, all over, middle east, mostly." "Korea, that was my war." "You two should swap stories." "Should we get some air?" "I really need to speak..." "Army or Marines?" "Navy, actually." "Oh." "Are you going to let me go?" "Thinking about it." "Excuse me." "Oh, my God." "Stay right there." "Do we take her?" "She's got a United States senator as a body shield..." "Up!" "Up!" "And 4 more within earshot who have no idea what's going on right now." "So what do we do?" "We keep it that way." "Get off." "We know that the audio file was leaked at around midnight last night." "Voice recognition analysts have confirmed that it is indeed senator Kerrigan admitting to an affair with a now-missing state department intern." "He's expected to announce his resignation in the next few days." "That doesn't match up with what you said." "Right now, Kerrigan's people are doing damage control, but once the audio file comes out..." "Everyone will know Anna the intern was really Anna the spy." "Won't be enough to save Kerrigan, though." "He's done." "You don't work for the justice department, do you?" "Heh." "Yoshi." "Custody of the innocent bystander goes to you." "Yeah." "Just tell me one thing." "Was there anything real about her, or was I just, like, part of her cover?" "Oliver, you were the only thing that was real to her." "Look, we all wear masks, every one, every day, and sometimes we wear them so much, we forget who we really are." "And sometimes, if we're lucky, someone comes along and shows us who we really wanna be, who we should be." "You were that for her." "We're not nervous?" "You wouldn't take me out here." "It's not your style." "See, that's what I love about you, your instinct." "You love me?" "I took out 2 of your agents, and I didn't let you get back at Percy." "And you neutralized the toxin." "How'd you pull that off?" "Trade secret." "Well, in the grand scheme of everything, you and me, it doesn't really matter." "There is no you and me." "Don't be so sure." "We know about the black boxes." "And you know Gogol will provide you with unlimited cash, weapons, safe houses all around the world." "It's what you need to take them on." "You tried to kill me." "Ancient history." "It was last night." "Rules of the game." "Fighting this war on your own must be exhausting." "All right, let's play this forward." "I join you, we coordinate strikes, we find all the black boxes, we take Division, and then we put a bullet in Percy's head." "Then what?" "You win." "No." "You take over." "The bastard stepchild kills his father and then takes his place." "Remember, I know where Gogol came from." "Well, let's play this forward another way." "Division goes down, from you, from us." "Gogol will come to power." "It's inevitable." "What's your play then?" "If it doesn't end with Division, when does it end?" "I'll let you know when I get there."
