La Femme Nikita (1997–2001): Season 1, Episode 7 - Treason - full transcript

CONGRATULATIONS, NIKITA.

YOU'VE CROSSED A MILESTONE.

I HAVE?

YOU'VE COMPLETED WHAT MIGHT
BE CALLED A "PROBATIONARY PERIOD."

YOU'RE A FULL-FLEDGED
OPERATIVE NOW...

THE EQUAL OF ANY
OPERATIVE IN THE SECTION.

EQUAL...

TO MICHAEL?

WELL...

SOME ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS.

SO DO I GET A CAP? A GOWN?



A MERIT BADGE?

WE'RE VERY SATISFIED
WITH YOUR PROGRESS.

ARE THERE ANY ISSUES
YOU'D LIKE TO RAISE?

YOU'RE INVITING ME
TO ASK QUESTIONS?

THAT'S RIGHT.

WHY SHOULD I BOTHER?

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO ANSWER THEM.

YOU WON'T KNOW TILL YOU ASK.

IT'S JUST ANOTHER WAY
OF BUILDING A DATA FILE

LABELED "NIKITA," ISN'T IT?

SEE, ANY QUESTIONS I ASK

YOU HAVE MORE INSIGHT
TO THE WAY I TICK...

ALL THE MORE FOR YOU TO
WIND ME UP WHEN YOU NEED IT.

YOU REALLY HAVE GRADUATED.



STILL, I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION.

I SEE A LOT OF YOUNG PEOPLE

IN THE SECTION,
BUT VERY FEW OLD.

WHY IS THAT, MADELINE?

SURELY NOT EVERYBODY'S
BEEN LOST IN ACTION.

NO. NOT ALL.

SO WHAT HAPPENS
TO US DOWN THE LINE?

DO WE GET A CONDO IN MIAMI?

OR IS IT A BULLET IN
THE BACK OF THE HEAD?

THAT'S A GOOD
QUESTION, NIKITA...

PERHAPS MORE
PROFOUND THAN YOU KNOW.

AND THE ANSWER...?

IS HIGHLY CLASSIFIED.

HMM. NATURALLY.

MADELINE, I WILL BE EXPECTING
MY MERIT BADGE IN THE MAIL.

NIKITA...

FROM NOW ON

YOU HAVE TO
UNDERSTAND MORE WILL BE

EXPECTED OF YOU.

DON'T DISAPPOINT US.

Woman: CHERCHEZ LA FEMME.

CHERCHEZ LA FEMME.

MON AMI. MON AMI.

STOP IT... STOP IT!

( choking)

WHAT DO YOU THINK
YOU'RE HERE FOR?

NOT WITH EVERYBODY WATCHING.

( gasps)

THAT JUST MAKES IT MORE FUN.

( woman moaning)

THEY'RE HERE.

SHOW THEM IN.

COME ON.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

THE AGENCY WANTS
YOU OUT OF THE COUNTRY.

THE DRUGS WERE BAD ENOUGH,
BUT THEN YOU KILL A GUY

JUST BECAUSE HE WON'T LET
YOU "DANCE" WITH HIS WIFE?

YOU DIDN'T SEE HER.

YOU'RE OUT OF CONTROL, SUBA.

YOU GOT 48 HOURS.

THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE.

NO. THERE'S STILL
SOMETHING I GOT TO DO FIRST.

AND WHAT'S THAT?

VISIT DISNEYLAND.

BEEN HERE FIVE YEARS,
NEVER BEEN ONCE.

Kiley: WELL, WE
HEARD YOU'VE BEEN

SNOOPING AROUND
NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS.

YOU WOULDN'T BE TRYING
TO GET YOUR HANDS

ON SOME OF THAT ENRICHED U-235?

I BET A GUY COULD MAKE A
LOT OF BUCKS DOING THAT.

THANKS FOR THE IDEA.

'CAUSE YOU START
MESSING AROUND WITH NUKES

WE WON'T JUST KICK
YOU OUT OF THE COUNTRY.

WE'LL FINISH YOU.

TWO DAYS.

YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.

YOUR COLLEAGUE HERE, BOGGS...

SUPPOSE I TOLD YOU

THAT HE'S ON MY PAYROLL?

WELL, I'D SAY YOU
WERE DELUSIONAL.

DID YOU HEAR THAT?

HE CALLED ME CRAZY.

DID YOU EVER SEE A MORE
SURPRISED FACE IN YOUR LIFE?

GO FIND ME THAT
BITCH WHO SLAPPED ME.

NIKITA?

HELLO, ROGER.

OPERATIONS IS LOOKING FOR YOU.

THERE'S A BRIEFING
IN FIVE MINUTES.

I WAS SO LOOKING FORWARD

TO HAVING A RELAXING
EVENING AT HOME.

WELL, I'M AFRAID YOU'RE GOING
TO HAVE TO POSTPONE THAT

FOR A FEW HOURS...
OR A FEW DAYS.

OR FOREVER?

ROGER...

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN HERE?

MY WHOLE LIFE...

JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE.

MADELINE TOLD ME...

THAT I'M OFF PROBATION NOW.

WHAT'S THAT MEAN

EXACTLY?

IT MEANS WHATEVER
THEY WANT IT TO MEAN

UNTIL THEY DECIDE THAT
IT MEANS SOMETHING ELSE.

I'M NOT TRYING

TO BE CLEVER, JUST HONEST.

THE ONLY THING THANKS.

YOU CAN DO WHILE YOU'RE HERE...

FOCUS ON THE MISSION.

STAY ALIVE.

"STAY ALIVE."

SUBA CAME HERE FIVE YEARS AGO

AFTER A COUP IN HIS OWN COUNTRY.

NOW, THE AGENCY SPONSORED HIM

BECAUSE OF HIS
ANTI-TERRORIST ACTIVITIES

BUT HE'S BECOME A LIABILITY.

LATELY HE'S BEEN
TRYING TO ACQUIRE

WASTE URANIUM FROM POWER PLANTS.

HE MIGHT ALREADY HAVE SOME.

NOW, THE AGENCY HAS
BEEN COMPROMISED

SO...

WE HAVE TO CLEAN UP.

THEY WANT HIM PLANTED?

OH, NO. THEY MIGHT
WANT TO USE HIM AGAIN.

WE'RE TO... DEPORT HIM

QUICKLY AND QUIETLY.

WEAKNESSES?

YES.

HE LIKES TALL BLONDES.

( medium tempo Latin
dance music playing)

THIS IS A PRIVATE PARTY.

I'M ONE OF THE GIRLS.

WHY ARE YOU LATE?

I HAD TO TAKE A PHILOSOPHY EXAM.

YOU CAN FRISK ME... IF YOU WANT.

IT WORKS FOR ME.

MMM...

LET HER IN.

( soft buzz)

OKAY. SHE'S IN.

WHOA...

YOU NEED A STEPLADDER
FOR THAT ONE.

UH...

I LIKE HER.

HEY!

Michael: THAT'S THE TRACKER.

IT'S ACTIVATED.

GOOD. SHE SHOULD
BE OUT IN A MINUTE.

THEY'RE NOT GOING TO LET HER GO.

GET ME IN.

YOU GOT IT.

Birkoff: I'VE PICKED
UP THEIR FREQUENCY.

RAVIC, ARE YOU THERE?

GO AHEAD.

THERE'S TROUBLE OUT FRONT.

What's going on?

JUST GET OUT HERE.

THE GUY IN A RED JACKET...
SUBA SAYS RUN HIM OFF.

LET'S GO.

HEY! GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF ME!

LET'S GO.

GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF ME!

UH-UH-UH.

FEISTY, HUH?

( yelling)

THERE YOU ARE. BITCH!

WHAT THE HELL?

IT'S NOT WHAT IT SEEMS.

"NOT WHAT IT SEEMS"?

YOU THINK

I'M A FOOL?

PLEASE... TELL HIM
NOTHING HAPPENED.

LET THE MAN GO.

WHERE DID YOU GET THIS DRESS?

IT'S A DISGRACE.

YOU'RE PREGNANT!

LET'S GO.

Suba: WHERE ARE
YOU GOING, FRIEND?

LET ME GIVE YOU ONE
PIECE OF ADVICE, MISTER.

DON'T GET MARRIED.

Birkoff: THE SIGNAL'S STRONG.

LET'S DO A COMM CHECK.

D-1 RADIO CHECK.

OKAY. HE'S SLOWING DOWN AND...

HE'S TURNING OFF.

THERE'S AN OLD FARMHOUSE

ABOUT A MILE BACK

FROM THE ROAD.

HE MAY BE HEADED
THERE. SLOW DOWN.

HE'S STOPPED.

LET'S GO.

Michael: NORTHWEST
CORNER, SECOND FLOOR.

DESTROY ALL DOCUMENTS

AND ANYTHING THAT
GETS IN THE WAY

BUT WE NEED SUBA ALIVE.

THERE'S NO GUARDS.

THE WAY THEY PARTY,
THEY'LL SLEEP FOR A WEEK.

SLOWLY, PEOPLE.

TEAM TWO, COVER.

CLOSING IN ON SIGNAL.

IT'S THE TRACKER.

( helicopter hovering)

( groaning)

( helicopter retreating)

Man: YEAH. PUT HIM IN ONE.

Man 2: WE GOT A GUNSHOT
WOUND TO THE LEG HERE.

WHAT HAPPENED?

IT WAS A TRAP. THEY
WERE EXPECTING US.

COST?

TWO DEAD, THREE WOUNDED.

EXPLANATION?

SUBA FOUND THE TRACKER.

WHERE DID YOU PUT IT?

INSIDE HIS COLLAR.
IT WAS SECURE.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW
HE FOUND IT SO QUICKLY.

WELL, HE DID.

DON'T BLAME MICHAEL. IT WAS...

SHUT UP.

IT'S MY MESS. I'LL FIX IT.

OH, SO YOU KNOW WHERE HE IS?

I'LL FIND HIM.

FOR YOUR SAKE.

IN TIME YOU'LL LEARN IT'S
NOT ENOUGH TO DO YOUR BEST.

I DID WHAT YOU WANTED ME TO.

IT WASN'T ENOUGH.

COME ON IN.

HOW YOU DOING?

IT'S JUST A SCRATCH.

I'LL BE UP IN NO TIME.

THEY FOUND THE
TRACKER. IT'S MY FAULT.

I'M SORRY.

GOES WITH THE TERRITORY.

FORGET ABOUT IT.

THANKS FOR PULLING
ME OUT OF THERE.

YOU'D HAVE DONE THE SAME.

MAYBE WE SHOULDN'T
HAVE PUT IT ON HIS COLLAR.

HEY, DON'T BEAT YOURSELF UP.

IT'S THEIR WORLD.

YOU JUST LIVE IN IT.

I MEAN, WHAT THE HELL?

GUYS WITH HANDGUNS

TAKING ON A 50-MILLIMETER?

COME ON.

THE CHOPPER GOT
OFF A HUNDRED ROUNDS

BY THE TIME YOU GUYS GOT WHAT?

YOU AND MICHAEL...

FIVE.

ROGER... THREE.

TWO.

NO, IT WAS THREE.
I'VE GOT HIS GUN.

NO.

( machine gun firing)

TWO. I'M SURE OF IT.

I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE.

I REMEMBER.

SUGAR, I CHECKED THE GUN.

HE FIRED THREE SHOTS.

( two gunshots)

( single gunshot; Roger yells)

HI.

HI.

YOUR LEG HURTING MUCH?

OH, NO.

IT'S FINE.

I'M GLAD TO HEAR IT.

HOW ABOUT... NOW?

ARE YOU CRAZY?

YOU SET US UP.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

DON'T MESS WITH ME.

I DIDN'T SET ANYBODY UP.

A 50-MILLIMETER SHELL

WOULD HAVE RIPPED
YOUR LEG APART.

YOU ONLY GOT A FLESH WOUND.

I WENT BACK TO THE FARMHOUSE

AND ON THE FLOOR...

I FOUND THIS.

IT'S FROM YOUR GUN.

YOU'RE OUT OF YOUR MIND.

SHOULD WE TAKE IT TO WALTER?

( groaning)

YOU SHOT YOURSELF SO
YOU WOULDN'T BE SUSPECTED.

WHY?

WHY?

( groaning)

WHY?

BECAUSE THEY HAVE MY SON.

BECAUSE SUBA HAS MY SON.

HE'S EIGHT YEARS OLD

AND IF I DON'T DO EXACTLY
WHAT THEY TELL ME TO DO

THEY'RE GOING TO KILL HIM.

( echoing laughter)

I WAS ON DEATH ROW AT 20

AND I DESERVED IT.

BUT THEN, ALONG CAME SECTION
ONE AND, UH, YOU KNOW THE REST.

THEY TURNED ME INSIDE OUT AND
REMADE ME IN THEIR OWN IMAGE

EXCEPT FOR THE ONE THING
THEY NEVER FOUND OUT ABOUT.

THE ONLY THING I DID
RIGHT MY WHOLE LIFE.

I HAD A SON.

HOW DID YOU KEEP IT FROM THEM?

I NEVER MARRIED THE MOTHER

SO THERE WERE NO
RECORDS OR PAPERS.

SHE DIED

WHEN HE WAS TWO, SO I, UH...

I GAVE HIM TO ANOTHER
COUPLE TO RAISE, YOU KNOW.

GOOD PEOPLE.

I FIGURED HE'D BE
BETTER OFF THAT WAY.

I WAS RIGHT.

THE WHOLE TIME THE
SECTION WAS TRAINING ME

IT WAS THE ONLY THING I HAD
TO HANG ON TO, YOU KNOW?

MY BOY, MY SON.

AND I NEVER TOLD THEM.

EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, I
GO TO HIS HOUSE, YOU KNOW

AND WATCH HIM GETTING READY
TO LEAVE FOR SCHOOL, OR...

PLAYING IN THE YARD.

YOU DON'T SPEAK TO HIM?

NEVER.

NEVER.

I WANTED TO KEEP HIM FREE

OF ANYTHING CONNECTED
WITH THE SECTION.

HOW DID SUBA FIND OUT?

I DON'T KNOW.

I DON'T KNOW.

I JUST KNOW THAT MY BOY WILL DIE

IF I DON'T GIVE HIM
WHAT HE WANTS.

WHAT DOES HE WANT?

SUBA HAS BEEN SMUGGLING URANIUM

OUT OF THE COUNTRY.

HE CAN'T DO IT ALL AT ONCE

SO HE MOVES IT A LITTLE
BIT EVERY FEW DAYS.

I'M USING SECTION INTEL TO FIND
OUT WHICH EXIT POINTS ARE SAFE

AND I'M GIVING
HIM DAILY REPORTS.

AH, SO YOU WARNED
HIM ABOUT THE RAID.

YEAH.

IT WAS STUPID TO SHOOT YOURSELF.

NO ONE SUSPECTED TREASON.

THEY BLAMED IT ON ME.

WELL, I WISH I'D KNOWN
THAT IN ADVANCE.

I HAD TO BE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN
NO ONE WOULD SUSPECT ME.

IF THE SECTION TOOK
ME OFF THE CASE

I COULDN'T GIVE
SUBA WHAT HE WANTS.

I SUPPOSE YOU CAN'T
TELL THEM THE TRUTH.

SECTION THINKS
YOU'VE GOT A WEAKNESS

AN ENEMY COULD EXPLOIT,
YOU BECOME AN ENEMY, TOO.

NIKITA, HELP ME. PLEASE.

PLEASE.

Michael: WHAT ARE
YOU GOING TO DO?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

WE HAVE SOME DOWN TIME.

YOU SHOULD GO OVER
THE DRY MISSION PROFILE.

I ALREADY HAVE.

GO OVER IT AGAIN.

WE CAN'T AFFORD
ANY MORE MISTAKES.

WHEN CAN I GO HOME?

MAYBE TOMORROW.

MAYBE NEVER.

WHAT HAVE YOU GOT?

NOTHING.

THAT COULD BE DANGEROUS
FOR YOUR SON'S HEALTH.

I GOT HIT IN THE LEG THE
OTHER NIGHT DURING THE RAID.

I'VE BEEN LAID UP.

DON'T PLAY GAMES.

NO GAMES. I SWEAR.

MY URANIUM'S PILING UP.

I GOT TO GET IT OUT
OF THE COUNTRY NOW.

I'LL HAVE INTELLIGENCE
FOR YOU THIS AFTERNOON.

YES, YOU WILL.

SUBA!

WHAT ABOUT MY SON?

( sniffs)

YEAH. HE, UH, HAD A BIT
OF A FEVER THIS MORNING.

YOU KNOW, SWEATING.

HE LOOKED PRETTY BAD.

JOKING, MAN.

LIGHTEN UP.

( car engine starting)

( car engine starting)

Nikita: REMEMBER ME?

HOW DID YOU FIND US?

SUBA SENT FOR ME.

I WASN'T TOLD.

AW, GUESS YOU'RE
OUT OF THE LOOP.

( techno-funk
rock music playing)

( whispering): KYLE!

KICK THE BALL OVER HERE!

HI.

I'M A FRIEND.

I'M HERE TO GET YOU OUT.

YOU HAVE TO TRUST
ME. WE'VE GOT TO HURRY.

WHAT SHOULD I DO?

THERE'S A TRAILER IN
BACK. MEET ME THERE.

HOW?

KICK THE BALL LIKE YOU JUST DID.

FOUND IT.

STAY WHERE I CAN SEE YOU.

RAVIC?

RAVIC?

Dekker: RAVIC IS DOWN!

HEAD FOR THE GATE!

IF YOU SEE ANYTHING
MOVING, YOU SHOOT IT!

CHECK THE YARD NOW.

HEY, CARL, LET'S GO!

HURRY UP. GET THE KID!

GET THE KID!

JOHNSON, YOU'RE WITH ME!

KYLE, COME ON.

I HAVE TO GET THE BALL FIRST.

COME ON, COME ON!

NOW!

I SAID NOW!

YOU'RE TELLING ME

SUBA'S VANISHED INTO THIN AIR?

I'M TELLING YOU OUR SOURCES
HAVE COME UP EMPTY SO FAR

BUT WE'RE WORKING ON IT.

WHAT ABOUT SATCOM TRAFFIC?

WE'RE WORKING ON IT.

I'M GETTING TIRED
OF THAT PHRASE.

YOU'RE STARTING
TO TEST MY PATIENCE.

EXCUSE ME.

CAN I HAVE A WORD WITH YOU?

WE'RE BUSY.

MICHAEL, I NEED YOU
TO DO TWO THINGS.

I CAN DELIVER

SUBA.

WHAT?

I KNOW WHERE HE IS, BUT HE WON'T

BE THERE LONG. I'LL NEED
AN EIGHT-MAN ASSAULT TEAM

AND A TEN-MINUTE HEAD START.

WHY?

ISN'T IT ENOUGH I CAN
DELIVER WHAT YOU WANT?

DO IT.

I WANT A COMPLETE DEBRIEFING.

SHE'S PROTECTING SOMEONE.

YES, SHE IS.

Man: WHAT WAS THAT?

WHAT'S WRONG?

THESE TIRES ARE BRAND-NEW.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS.

Suba: FIX IT!

LET'S GO.

HELLO.

WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!

GOOD AFTERNOON TO YOU, TOO.

HOW DID SHE GET IN HERE?

ARE YOU ALL SLEEPING?!

LADY WITH THE JEALOUS HUSBAND.

THAT'S RIGHT.

I ALSO HAPPEN TO
BE A FRIEND OF KYLE'S.

I WANTED TO SAY GOOD-BYE TO HIM.

DON'T COME ANY CLOSER.

I JUST HAVE A LITTLE PRESENT

FOR HIM.

IT'S A GOLF BALL, SEE?

IN CASE HE GETS TIRED OF SOCCER.

( all yelling)

KILL HER!

( yelling)

( grunts)

GET INSIDE.

WHERE ARE WE GOING?

SHUT UP.

( grunts)

SUBA!

IF YOU MAKE A MOVE

I SHOOT THE KID.

NOW PUT THE GUN DOWN.

PUT THE GUN DOWN!

NOW!

THAT'S BETTER.

( yells)

STOP!

COME BACK TO ME, KYLE.

GET OVER HERE, KID.

BACK UP, KYLE.

WALK BACK TO ME, KYLE.

MORE.

KYLE!

MORE.

COME BACK TO ME NOW, KID!

MORE.

COME BACK TO ME NOW!

WHOA!

( Suba groans)

( yells)

KYLE. WHO'S HE?

HE'S A FRIEND.

CAN I GO HOME NOW?

YEAH. YEAH, I CALLED
YOUR MOM AND DAD.

THEY'RE JUST OVER THERE.

MOM! DAD!

MOM! DAD!

NIKITA... IF WE DON'T
WORK TOGETHER AGAIN...

WE WILL.

THANK YOU.

YOU WANT ME TO RUN THE DISK?

HEY.

WHERE'S ROGER?

OKAY.

IT WAS THOUGHT HE'D BE
BETTER OFF SOMEWHERE ELSE.

WHERE ELSE IS THERE?

SECTION HAD HIM CANCELED.

SAY IT, MICHAEL. HE'S DEAD.

THE SECTION KILLED
HIM BECAUSE HE'S WEAK.

HE BETRAYED THE SECTION.

LIVES WERE LOST.

AND A LIFE WAS SAVED...
AN INNOCENT ONE.

LEAVE IT ALONE, NIKITA.

IT'S OVER.

YES, NIKITA?

WHY?

WHY?

COME SIT DOWN.

WHAT YOU DID FOR ROGER WAS NOBLE

BUT IT WASN'T WORTH THE RISK.

HOW CAN YOU BE SO RUTHLESS?

BECAUSE THE OTHER
SIDE IS RUTHLESS.

IF WE'RE NOT STRONGER

THEN THEY WIN AND WE LOSE.

YOU'RE A GOOD OPERATIVE, NIKITA.

DON'T LET YOUR
HUMANITY GET IN THE WAY.

MY HUMANITY?
