La Femme Nikita (1997–2001): Season 1, Episode 1 - Nikita - full transcript
The story of how Nikita arrives to Section One after being falsely accused of murder. We see her early days training to become an operative in the facilities of Section One and having to accomplish her first mission after what seemed to be just a dinner in a fancy restaurant. She is given false directions about how to escape so that they can be sure she can handle it.

( screaming)
Nikita: I DIDN'T KILL ANYONE.
GOOD MORNING.
I'M NOT GOING TO HURT YOU.
WHAT IS THIS?
YOU'RE NOT IN PRISON ANYMORE.
THE WORLD THINKS YOU'RE DEAD.
SUICIDE.
THIS IS YOUR FUNERAL.
NO.

( crying): I DIDN'T.
I DIDN'T.
I DIDN'T KILL ANYONE!
( keys jangling)

WHERE AM I GOING?
TO MEET YOUR NEW MOTHER.
SO WHO ARE YOU...?
MY FATHER?
WAIT HERE.
THEY SEEM TO THINK
YOU HAVE POTENTIAL.
WHO'S "THEY"?
WHO ARE YOU?
I'M MADELINE.
"THEY" ARE SECTION ONE.
THEY OWN YOU NOW.
I DIDN'T KNOW I WAS FOR SALE.
PLEASE, SIT DOWN.
IF YOU WANT TO LIVE, IT
HAS TO BE ON THEIR TERMS.
SO PLEASE, DO SIT DOWN.
LOOK AT YOURSELF.
ADMIRE YOURSELF.
SEE YOUR BEAUTY.
YOU CAN LEARN TO SHOOT,
YOU CAN LEARN TO FIGHT
BUT THERE'S NO
WEAPON AS POWERFUL
AS YOUR FEMININITY.
WE'RE FAMILY NOW, NIKITA.

TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.
VAN VACTOR.
HE'S BROKERING AN ALLIANCE
BETWEEN MULTIPLE
ANTI-WESTERN TERRORIST GROUPS...
SHINING PATH, HEZBOLLAH
EVERYONE FROM THE MIDDLE EAST
TO THE FAR EAST.
THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.
HALF OF THEM ARE
ENEMIES TO EACH OTHER.
BUT THEIR BIGGEST ENEMY IS US.
HE'S COMING HERE TO
PUT AN OPERATION IN PLACE.
DO WE KNOW THE WHEN AND WHERE?
NO, BUT WE THINK THERE'S
AN ITINERARY DOWNLOADED
ONTO A P.D.A.
WALTER'S ON IT.
HE'LL UPDATE YOU.
MICHAEL, ABOUT NIKITA...
WHAT ABOUT HER?
I'VE BEEN WATCHING HER.
SHE LACKS DISCIPLINE.
SHE NEEDS A LITTLE MORE TIME.
IT'S BEEN TWO YEARS.
THAT'S OUR POLICY.
IF WE START MAKING EXCEPTIONS
WE'RE NO BETTER THAN THE C.I.A.
CANCEL HER.
I THINK THAT WOULD BE A MISTAKE.
IT WOULD BE A MISTAKE TO
BECOME EMOTIONALLY ATTACHED
TO THE MATERIAL.
IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT.
I THINK SHE COULD
BE A GOOD OPERATIVE.
IF SHE FAILS, YOU FAIL.
THAT'S IT.
VERY GOOD.
HOW'S IT GOING?
YOU TELL ME.
HAVE MADELINE GET SOMETHING
NICE FOR YOU TO WEAR.
WE'RE GOING OUT.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "GOING OUT"?
DINNER. TONIGHT.
WHY?
YOU'VE EARNED IT.
THAT'S IT.
MUCH MORE FOCUS.
( piano dinner music playing)
MADELINE TAUGHT YOU WELL.
( chuckles)
IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE I'M HERE.
WHERE SHOULD YOU BE?
I DON'T KNOW.
IT'S JUST THAT I LIVED ON
THE STREETS FOR SO LONG.
WHY DID YOU RUN AWAY?
I DIDN'T.
MY MOTHER PREFERRED
HER NEW BOYFRIEND...
AND HE DIDN'T LIKE ME.
SO SHE TOLD ME TO GET OUT.
( chuckles)
I'M SORRY.
DON'T BE.
I NEVER WAS.
YOU'VE COME A LONG WAY
NIKITA.
I...
FEEL...
( chuckling)
WHAT? SAY IT.
HAPPY.
REALLY?
THE BLONDE-HAIRED
MAN SITTING BEHIND ME
HAS A P.D.A. IN HIS BRIEFCASE.
GET IT.
HOW?
WHEN YOU GET THE UNIT
DON'T LEAVE THROUGH THE FRONT.
THERE'S A WINDOW
IN THE LADIES ROOM.
USE THAT.
IT LEADS TO AN ALLEY.
THE CAR WILL BE WAITING.
I-I THOUGHT WE WERE...
IF YOU'RE NOT OUT OF
THERE IN FIVE MINUTES
THE CAR WILL LEAVE WITHOUT YOU.
I CAN'T DO THIS.
FIVE MINUTES.
IF YOU DON'T MIND...
WAIT TILL I LEAVE.
MICHAEL...
OPEN IT!
I'VE GOT MY MEN EVERYWHERE.
YOU'LL BE DEAD IN A
MATTER OF SECONDS.
( sirens approaching)
YOU KNEW?
WE HAD TO SEE IF
YOU COULD IMPROVISE.
DID YOU GET THE P.D.A.?
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME...
THIS WAS A JOB...
INSTEAD OF PRETENDING?
NO MATTER WHAT STATE OF MIND
YOU'RE IN, YOU HAVE
TO BE ABLE TO PERFORM.
YOU'RE SICK.
YOU DON'T WANT A PERSON.
YOU WANT A MACHINE.
I CAN'T DO THAT.
YOU JUST DID.
LET'S GO.
WHAT'S THIS PLACE?
YOU'LL SEE.
NO, NOT UNTIL YOU TELL
ME WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE.
NIKITA, PLEASE.
YOU LIVE HERE?
NO. YOU DO.
IT'S YOURS.
MINE?
I HOPE YOU LIKE IT.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN...
MINE?
EVERYTHING YOU
NEED IS IN THERE...
I.D., DRIVER'S LICENSE,
CREDIT CARDS.
TELL NO ONE WHO YOU ARE
OR WHAT YOU DO.
ANYONE ASKS, YOU'RE BETWEEN JOBS
AND TAKING SOME TIME
TO FIGURE THINGS OUT.
YOUR CODE NAME IS JOSEPHINE.
WHAT DO I DO NOW?
WAIT.
HOW LONG?
DEPENDS.
COULD BE A DAY
COULD BE A MONTH.
