Woman: JOSEPH,
CHERCHEZ LA FEMME.

DAN LA NUIT. DAN LA NUIT.

JOVAN MIJOVICH.



HE'S THE KEY TO PEACE IN
HIS CORNER OF THE WORLD.

MIJOVICH HAS AGREED TO
NEGOTIATE WITH OPPOSING FORCES

AT A NEUTRAL SITE.

THE AGENCY WAS IN
CHARGE OF SECURITY.

IT'S BEEN BREACHED THREE TIMES

IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS.

BY WHOM?

WE SHOULD FIND OUT
FROM A CONTACT SOON.

NIKITA, YOU'LL TAKE THE MEET.

IN THE MEANTIME, SECURITY
HAS BEEN TRANSFERRED TO US.

MIJOVICH ARRIVES IN 24 HOURS.

THE MAN IS A
BRILLIANT POLITICIAN

BUT HE'S INDISCREET.

HE'S BRAGGED

ABOUT THE NEGOTIATIONS
RATHER CARELESSLY

AND IT WILL CREATE
CONSIDERABLE DIFFICULTIES

FOR SECURITY.

NOW, THE TRACKER'S IN THE HEEL

AND YOU ACTIVATE IT BY
KICKING THE BACK OF YOUR SHOE.

( beeps)

THERE.

( pulsing tone)

ALL RIGHT.

ONLY TRANSMIT WHEN NECESSARY.

YOU WANT ME TO PUT
IT ON FOR YOU, SUGAR?

JUST GIVE IT HERE, WALTER.

( phone rings)

YES?

OKAY.

10:00 A.M.

HERE YOU GO, MISS.

THANK YOU.

( tires squealing)

( screams)

COFFEE.

YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE HERE

FOUR MINUTES AGO.

WHEN I GIVE A TIME

IT'S 'CAUSE IT HAS TO BE
THAT TIME, UNDERSTAND?

YOU GOT SOMETHING OR NOT?

( no audio)

YEAH.

LEGION.

NIKITA?

WHAT THE HELL'S THIS?

HI. UM, JULIE ROARK, REMEMBER?

I'M SORRY. I DIDN'T MEAN
TO-TO INTERRUPT SOMETHING.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

NO, LISTEN! MONROE
ELEMENTARY, REMEMBER?

UM, FOURTH GRADE,
AND MRS. WILLETTE...

SHE USED TO KEEP SEPARATING US.

WE WERE BEST FRIENDS.

I'M SORRY. YOU MUST BE MISTAKEN.

NO. I DON'T THINK SO.

NO. I THINK YOU'RE CONFUSING
ME WITH SOMEBODY ELSE.

EXCUSE ME.

IF YOU DO HAPPEN TO REMEMBER

I WORK ON THE SECOND
FLOOR ACROSS THE STREET.

IT WAS... IT WAS
NICE TO SEE YOU.

THE LEGION.

WELL-FUNDED, EXTREMELY
WELL CONNECTED.

BELIEVED RESPONSIBLE FOR
THE WORLD GAMES BOMBING.

THREE AIRLINE CRASHES.

FUN GROUP.

I TOOK A LIST OF THE NAMES
FROM THE PEACE TALKS

AND CROSSED THEM
AGAINST A LIST OF NAMES

FROM LEGION DETRACTORS.

JOVAN MIJOVICH.

HE HAD

TWO LEGION MEMBERS EXECUTED

FOR TRYING TO BREACH
ONE OF HIS OFFICES.

IF MIJOVICH KNEW THE
LEGION WAS SO CLOSE TO HIM

HE'D BREAK OFF THE
NEGOTIATIONS AND HEAD FOR HOME.

SO IT'S UP TO US NOT
TO LET HIM FIND OUT.

UNDERSTOOD?

NIKITA.

HOW WAS THE MEET?

FINE.

NO GLITCHES?

NONE.

UNLESS YOU COUNT THE FACT
THAT THE CONTACT'S A BASKET CASE.

OH, AND I RAN INTO SOMEONE

WHO SAID SHE KNEW
ME IN GRADE SCHOOL.

I DIDN'T RECOGNIZE HER.

BUT SHE RECOGNIZED YOU.

I GUESS SO.

IS THAT A PROBLEM?

WELL, WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO?

IT'S OKAY.

WE'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

WHATEVER.

( woman screams)

( screams)

( screams)

NO, I-I-I KNOW

BUT IT'S JUST THAT
OUR RECORDS...

( screams)

HELP ME!

HELP ME!

( screams)

( screams)

( groans)

NO! NO! PLEASE,
PLEASE DON'T HURT ME.

I WON'T.

LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.

NIKITA!

COME WITH ME NOW!

( sirens blaring)

( gasping)

WHAT IS GOING ON?

WHY WERE YOU WEARING A MASK?

AND WHY WERE THOSE
PEOPLE SHOOTING AT US?

SHH. KEEP IT DOWN.

( sobbing): I CAN'T.

YOU CAN AND YOU WILL,
OR I'LL DO IT FOR YOU.

PLEASE...

PLEASE, JUST TELL ME.

WHAT IS GOING ON?

IT MAY NOT FEEL
LIKE IT RIGHT NOW

BUT I JUST SAVED YOUR LIFE.

WHY WOULD SOMEBODY
WANT TO KILL ME?

WHAT DID I DO?

NOTHING. YOU JUST HAPPENED

TO BE IN THE WRONG PLACE

AT THE WRONG TIME.

THEN... THEN I'LL
GO TO THE POLICE.

YOU CAN'T KEEP ME HERE.

( loud knocking)

DO WHAT I SAY

IF YOU WANT TO STAY ALIVE.

( gasping)

Nikita: JUST A MINUTE.

MICHAEL.

WHERE WERE YOU AN HOUR AGO?

COME IN.

I WAS SHOPPING. WHY?

WHAT DID YOU BUY?

NOTHING.

I COULDN'T FIND
ANYTHING I LIKED.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

WE SENT SOMEONE TO
PICK UP YOUR FRIEND.

SO?

SOMEONE ELSE

GOT THERE FIRST

TOOK HER AWAY.

YOU THINK THAT SOMEONE WAS ME?

WHO ELSE WOULD HAVE DONE IT?

WELL, THE CONTACT I MET AT
THE POOL HALL THIS MORNING

CERTAINLY SEEMED, UH

CRAZY ENOUGH.

MIJOVICH'S PLANE
LANDS IN TWO HOURS.

I HOPE YOU'RE TELLING THE TRUTH.

OTHERWISE, YOU'LL ONLY
END UP HURTING YOURSELF.

AND YOUR FRIEND.

WHO ARE YOU?

YOU ALL RIGHT?

I CAN'T GIVE DETAILS.

YOU'LL HAVE TO TRUST ME.

YOU'LL HAVE TO DISAPPEAR.

DISAPPEAR?

WHA-WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

I'M NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING

UNTIL YOU TELL ME
WHAT'S GOING ON.

WHEN YOU SAW ME IN THE POOL HALL

I WAS INVOLVED IN
SOMETHING DANGEROUS.

NO ONE WAS SUPPOSED TO SEE.

I DIDN'T... I DIDN'T
SEE ANYTHING.

YOU SAW ME. WHO CARES?

LOOK, I CAN'T TELL YOU ANY MORE.

JULIE, WE'VE GOT TO GET
YOU OUT OF THE COUNTRY.

OUT-OUT OF THE COUNTRY?

( sighs)

WHAT ABOUT MY FAMILY?

WHAT DO I TELL THEM?

YOU CAN'T TELL THEM ANYTHING.

YOU DON'T TELL ANYONE ANYTHING.

BUT THEY'LL THINK

THAT I'M...

OH, MY GOD.

I'M SUPPOSED TO MAKE
MY MOTHER SUPPER

ON SATURDAY NIGHT.

OH, MY MOM.

I'LL PROTECT YOU.

I SWEAR.

Man: Perimeter guards in place.

Woman: Our guest
is anxious to deplane.

Man: Standing by.

WE'RE IN POSITION.

WELL...

I HAD THOUGHT I WOULD
BE TOO BUSY FOR PLEASURE

BUT I THINK YOU HAVE

CHANGED MY MIND.

VERY NICE.

VERY BEAUTIFUL HAIR.

STOP IT.

OH, YES, THAT'S MUCH
MORE INTERESTING.

VERY, VERY NICE.

I SAID STOP IT.

OH, WE DON'T NEED
TO TAKE IT SO FAR.

THEN IT WON'T BE FUN ANYMORE.

I'M PART OF THE SECURITY TEAM.

WHAT?

HANDS OFF.

Mijovich: YOU

ARE A BODYGUARD?

( chuckling)

OH, SWEETHEART...

( yells)

OW!

ALL RIGHT, ALL
RIGHT, I BELIEVE YOU.

( chuckles)

( grunts)

YES.

YES...

MY, UH, SINCERE APOLOGIES.

FORGET ABOUT IT.

I'M SORRY IF I WAS
A LITTLE ROUGH.

OH, I DON'T MIND

A LITTLE ROUGHNESS
NOW AND AGAIN.

YOU MUST ALLOW ME TO
ATONE FOR OFFENDING YOU.

A DINNER PERHAPS.

I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO TRY SUSHI.

THERE'S A RUMOR GOING AROUND

THAT THE REAL REASON YOU'RE HERE

IS TO NEGOTIATE PEACE
FOR YOUR COUNTRY.

YES, BUT DOES THAT MEAN

I MUST IGNORE MY
NATURAL HUMAN URGES?

SPEAKING OF WHICH...

THE FACILITIES ON THE
PLANE WERE SADLY LACKING.

YOU CAN'T.

WE'RE ON A TIGHT...

SCHEDULE.

WHAT IS WRONG?

NOTHING. READY TO GO?

OH, ABSOLUTELY.

IN FACT, I WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST

THAT YOU BE MY
PERSONAL BODYGUARD.

REMOVE THE BODIES.

JULIE?

JULIE?

JULIE.

JULIE...

( yells)

IT'S ME. IT'S ME.

I'M SORRY.

I MUST HAVE FALLEN ASLEEP.

I DIDN'T... I DIDN'T EVEN
HEAR YOU COME IN.

YOU ALL RIGHT?

MM-HMM.

WATCH YOUR HEAD.

THANKS.

SO WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO ME?

YOU'LL NEED A NEW NAME.

A NEW IDENTITY.

A NEW NAME?

I CAN ARRANGE THAT.

A COUPLE OF DAYS,
WE'LL PUT YOU ON A TRAIN.

TO WHERE?

WHEREVER YOU WANT.

YOU JUST CAN'T TELL ANYONE.

WELL, EXCEPT FOR YOU, RIGHT?

NO, NOT EVEN ME.

NIKITA, I DON'T THINK
THAT I CAN LIVE LIKE THAT.

YOU KNOW, I MEAN, EVERY MOMENT
OF MY LIFE IS GOING TO BE A LIE.

YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU HAVE TO.

AND YOU WILL.

YOUR NAME, HOW YOU LOOK

THE PIECES OF PAPER YOU CARRY

NONE OF IT MATTERS.

BECAUSE NOTHING CAN
CHANGE WHAT'S INSIDE HERE.

GO ON, PUT IT ON.

( chuckles)

( chuckles)

I DON'T EVEN LOOK LIKE MYSELF.

SEE?

MIRRORS LIE.

JUST DON'T EVER LIE TO YOURSELF

AND YOU'LL BE OKAY.

( both laughing)

( pop music playing)

THERE'S ONE THING MISSING.

A TATTOO.

NO!

OH, COME ON, DON'T WORRY.

IT'LL WASH OFF.

THIS JUST REMINDED ME OF THE...

OF THE TIME WE SNUCK
INTO YOUR MOM'S BATHROOM.

I STOLE HER LIPSTICK.

SHE GOT MAD AT YOU.

IS IT GOING TO BE
ALL RIGHT, NIKITA?

I MEAN, REALLY.

REALLY.

OH, NICE.

I LIKE IT.

( laughing)

( clanking)

SHH.

THEY'RE COMING FOR ME.

STAY HERE.

IT'S PROBABLY NOTHING.

NIKITA?

NIKITA?

( whispers): NIKITA?

( electrical crackling)

WHERE IS MIJOVICH STAYING?

( water dripping)

I DON'T KNOW.

( electrical crackling)

WELL?

( gasping)

I DON'T KNOW.

( coughing and gasping)

IT'S IN YOUR POWER TO END THIS.

YOU CAN BE SAFE
AGAIN, FREE OF PAIN.

WAIT.

NO, WAIT.

WAIT.

( beeping)

YOU HAVE THE COURAGE OF A MAN.

HOW WOULD YOU KNOW?

PERHAPS YOU THINK
I'M THE GOOD COP

AND HE'S THE BAD COP.

WE'RE BOTH THE GOOD COP.

IN THE NEXT ROOM IS THE BAD COP.

BRING HIM ON.

JULIE...

NIKITA, I'M UPSET WITH YOU.

YOU TOLD ME THIS WOULD WASH OFF.

( squeaking)

( clears throat)

I, UH...

I DON'T WANT YOU TO
GET ME WRONG, NIKITA.

I REALLY ENJOYED
OUR TIME TOGETHER.

I DID.

IT'S JUST THAT THERE ARE

MORE IMPORTANT THINGS IN LIFE

THAN PLAYING DRESS-UP.

LIKE FIGHTING FOR
WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN.

BUT THEN, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE
NOT IN THIS BECAUSE, UH...

BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE IN A CAUSE

BUT BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO CHOICE.

RIGHT?

HEY, YOU KNOW, TELL ME,
WHAT... WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE IN?

HOW DID YOU...?

WHAT? GET ONTO YOU
IN THE FIRST PLACE?

SECTION ONE ISN'T QUITE AS
INVISIBLE AS IT LIKES TO THINK

AND WE'RE VERY
GOOD AT WHAT WE DO.

ALL THOSE THINGS
YOU KNEW ABOUT ME...

ACTUALLY, WE PROBABLY
KNOW MORE ABOUT YOU

THAN YOU KNOW ABOUT YOURSELF.

AND THE REAL JULIE
ROARK WAS MOST HELPFUL.

BEFORE WE DISPOSED OF HER.

NOW YOU TELL ME
WHAT I WANT TO KNOW.

LOOK AT ME.

YOU TELL ME WHAT I WANT TO KNOW

AND YOU'RE FREE.

YOU'LL LIVE.

WHERE

IS MIJOVICH RIGHT NOW?

YOU...

GO TO HELL.

HMM.

SHE'S NOT GOING TO TELL
US WHAT WE WANT TO KNOW

NOT IN TIME ANYWAY.

SO I'M GOING TO DO WHAT I CAN.

KILL HER.

SOLTIS!

SHOOT!

( coughs)

I THOUGHT SHE WAS MY FRIEND.

THE LEGION KIDNAPPED HER.

THEY MUST HAVE BEEN ONTO
OUR CONTACT FROM THE START

FOLLOWED HIM TO THE CAFE

SAW THE THREE OF YOU TOGETHER.

THEY GRABBED HER FIRST.

THEN, WHEN THEY
REALIZED THEIR MISTAKE

THEY WENT AFTER YOU.

NO.

YES.

I'LL NOTIFY THE SECTION.

WHEN THEY DEBRIEF YOU

THAT'S THE STORY YOU'LL TELL.

MICHAEL, WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?

MIJOVICH LEAVES IN AN HOUR.

SO, PEACE TALKS HAVE CONCLUDED

BEFORE OUR OWN NEGOTIATIONS
HAD A CHANCE TO GET STARTED.

WHAT A PITY.

CHEER UP.

WHEN WAR BREAKS OUT
AGAIN, YOU CAN COME BACK.

I DON'T SUPPOSE EITHER OF US
WOULD WANT THAT TO HAPPEN.

I'LL DRINK TO THAT.

WELL...

THEN COME WITH ME.

I'VE TOLD THEM TO HAVE
CHAMPAGNE ON THE PLANE THIS TIME.

WELL, PERHAPS I WILL
COME BACK ONE DAY

JUST TO HAVE SUSHI WITH YOU.

( chuckles)

ALL SET.

SHE'S ALL YOURS.

I FEEL HER.

SHE'S HERE.

DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.

COME ON.

PULL THE TRIGGER, NIKITA.

THE WORLD WOULD BE
A SAFER PLACE IF I DID.

THEN DO IT.

I'M NOT SPENDING
THE REST OF MY LIFE

ROTTING AWAY IN
SOME PRISON CELL.

WHO ARE YOU?

DO IT!

WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

YOU WANT TO KNOW WHO I AM?

THIS...

THIS IS WHO I AM.

( yelling)

( moaning)

( moaning)

( moaning stops)

NIKITA REMAINS A PUZZLE.

SHE CONTINUES TO
BREAK SECTION CODE

AND YET SHE MANAGES TO SUCCEED.

WHAT CODE DID SHE BREAK?

PLEASE, MICHAEL.

YOU'VE BEEN HERE LONG ENOUGH.

INFORMATION IS WHAT WE DO HERE.

IF YOU DON'T THINK I
KNOW EVERY DETAIL

OF EVERY OPERATION...

WHY DIDN'T YOU FIND JULIE

THE FIRST TIME YOU WENT
TO NIKITA'S APARTMENT?

I LOOKED EVERYWHERE.

ONE WOULD THINK

YOU DIDN'T WANT TO FIND HER.

THAT'S NOT TRUE.

NIKITA'S NOT A TRAINEE ANYMORE.

SHE HAS TO BE HELD UP
TO THE SAME STANDARDS

AS EVERYONE ELSE.

IF YOU CAN'T DEMAND THAT OF HER

THEN YOU BOTH
BECOME A LIABILITY.

THAT'LL BE ALL.

MICHAEL.

EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT?

IT'S FINE.

THANK YOU.

THERE'S NOTHING TO THANK ME FOR.
