La Femme Nikita (1997–2001): Season 2, Episode 7 - Half Life - full transcript

(teacher) ALL RIGHT,
EVERYBODY. QUICKLY, QUICKLY.

NOW, CAN ANYBODY TELL ME WHAT...

[children chattering]

ALL RIGHT.

PLEASE STAY TOGETHER.

DON'T PLAY AROUND.

(teacher) I'VE GOT EVERY SIDE...

(Birkoff) WHAT HAVE
YOU GOT, NIKITA?

SO FAR, NOTHING.

WHAT ABOUT YOU, MICHAEL?

HOLD ON.



[alarm beeping]

[children chattering]

(student) HURRY. GO.

[beeping rapidly]

IT'S HERE. GET EVERYBODY OUT.

ALL TEAMS EVACUATE
THE COURTYARD.

EXCUSE ME, THERE'S
A BOMB IN THE YARD.

COME ON!

(Nikita) PLEASE GET THE CHILDREN
INSIDE. COME ON, CHILDREN.

COME ON, QUICKLY
INSIDE. COME ON, GO INSIDE.

(teacher) QUICKLY, EVERYONE.

(Nikita) HURRY UP!
WHAT'S GOING ON?

GET OUT OF THE
PARK! THERE'S A BOMB!

[children screaming]



GET BACK!

PLEASE RUN!

GET OUT OF THE PARK! RUN!

COME ON, SWEETHEART. LET'S
GO INSIDE WITH THE OTHER KIDS.

(Nikita) GET HER INSIDE.

THE BOMB'S IN THE BAG.

250 GRAMS OF SEMTEX
WRAPPED IN ALUMINUM,

SURROUNDED BY NAILS.

HOW DO YOU KNOW IT'S
SEMTEX WRAPPED IN ALUMINUM?

GO.

MICHAEL, JUST WAIT
FOR CONTAINMENT.

CONTAINMENT'S ON ITS WAY.

THERE'S NO TIME.

[grunts]

WE RECEIVED AN ANONYMOUS
INTERNET TRANSMISSION

2 HOURS BEFORE THE BOMBING.

THE MESSAGE WARNED
OF FURTHER ATTACKS,

BUT THERE WERE NO
ACCOMPANYING DEMANDS.

WAS THERE ANYTHING ON SITE THAT
WOULD HELP IDENTIFY THE GROUP?

NO.

WALTER, WHAT DO WE HAVE?

THE BOMB WAS PUT
TOGETHER PIECEMEAL.

JAPANESE TIMER, CZECH PLASTIQUE.

SOME OF THE OTHER
PARTS WERE HOMEMADE.

PATCHWORK ACQUISITION.

OBVIOUSLY, THEY HAVE
LIMITED RESOURCES.

THEY'RE BUYING OFF
THE WORLD MARKET.

THAT MEANS COMMERCE, WHICH
CAUSES RIPPLES. FIND THEM.

ANYTHING ELSE?

THIS MIGHT NOT BE ANYTHING,
BUT THERE WAS A MAN ON SITE.

THERE WAS SOMETHING
NOT QUITE RIGHT ABOUT HIM.

(Operations) MEANING WHAT?

HE SEEMED A LITTLE
TOO INTERESTED

AND WASN'T PANICKING
WHILE EVERYONE ELSE WAS.

GET WITH BIRKOFF.

HOPEFULLY, HE'S
ON FILE SOMEWHERE.

WHY DIDN'T YOU MENTION
THIS TO ME EARLIER?

I DON'T KNOW.

WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?

WHAT DOES HE LOOK LIKE?

LONG HAIR, 30s. WHY?

NO REASON.

MICHAEL, WHAT'S GOING ON?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

YOU KNEW EXACTLY WHAT WAS
IN THAT BAG BEFORE YOU LOOKED.

IT'S A COMMON CONFIGURATION.

I DON'T BELIEVE THAT.

I THINK YOU KNOW
WHO THESE PEOPLE ARE.

WHAT ARE YOU HOLDING BACK?

NOTHING.

(Birkoff) ANY OF THESE HERE?

(Nikita) NO.

THESE?

UH-UH.

HOW MANY MORE ARE THERE?

BASED ON WHAT YOU GAVE ME, I'VE
GOT 65 WITH A HIGH CORRELATION.

IF NONE OF THEM WORK OUT,
WE'LL HAVE TO LOOSEN IT UP.

THE BOMB IN THE COURTYARD,
WAS IT A TYPICAL EXPLOSIVE?

SEMTEX? SORT OF.

THERE'S ABOUT 6 OR 7 PLASTICS
THAT ARE IN COMMON USE.

HOW ABOUT THESE?

NO.

HELLO.

IS THERE SOMETHING YOU NEED?

NO.

IF YOU CAME BY TO SEE IF I
GOT IT, THE ANSWER IS YES.

DID YOU LIKE IT?

THE NECKLACE IS LOVELY.

HERE.

YOU DON'T WANT IT?

LET'S NOT OPEN THINGS UP AGAIN.

WE'RE BOTH MUCH TOO BUSY.

I WASN'T TRYING TO
OPEN ANYTHING UP.

GOOD.

SO HOW ARE THE NUMBERS COMING?

I'LL HAVE THEM ON TIME.

I CAN'T DO THIS. I
GOT A FAMILY NOW.

TAKE THE MONEY, HARRY.

[Michael chattering]

IS IT REALLY YOU?

IT IS.

[panting]

[speaking French]

WHY DIDN'T YOU LET ME
KNOW YOU WERE STILL ALIVE?

I COULDN'T.

WHY NOT?

I CAN'T EXPLAIN IT.

AND IF I COULD, I'M AFRAID
YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND.

WHY ARE YOU HERE?

THE BOMB AT THE MUSEUM.

I RECOGNIZE YOUR WORK.

HOW DID YOU FIND ME?

THE DETAILS ARE NOT
IMPORTANT. I HAVE ACCESS

TO PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY.

YOU'RE ON THE OTHER SIDE.

YES.

AND YOU'VE COME HERE
TO WHAT, ARREST ME?

NO. I'M NOT HERE
TO HURT YOU, RENE.

THEN, PLEASE, TELL ME
WHAT IS SO IMPORTANT?

WHY DID YOU HAVE TO
KILL 2 OF MY FRIENDS, HUH?

TO TELL ME WHAT?

TO ASK YOU TO STOP.

HUH!

TO STOP.

IT'S IRONIC, ISN'T IT?

WE ALWAYS TALKED ABOUT
THEM, THE OPPRESSORS.

AND NOW, YOU'RE
WHAT I FIGHT AGAINST.

(Rene) THE POLICEMAN.

(Michael) NOT EXACTLY.

I SEE LITTLE DIFFERENCE.

THE POLICEMAN HAS RULES.

SO WHAT NOW, MY OLD FRIEND?

GO BACK HOME.

MY HOME IS WHEREVER
PEOPLE ARE OPPRESSED.

THEY DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE YET.

I CAN PROTECT YOU, BUT YOU
HAVE TO DO EXACTLY AS I SAY.

YOU MEAN, SELL OUT EVERYTHING I
BELIEVE IN SO I CAN SAVE MYSELF?

PLEASE, MICHAEL, YOU
KNOW ME BETTER THAN THAT.

DON'T MAKE ME COME
AFTER YOU, RENE.

IF YOU STRIKE AGAIN,
I WILL FIND YOU.

♪♪[singing in French]

(Rene) GREEDY
BOURGEOIS, JUST LIKE PIGS.

THE OLDER THEY ARE,
THE DUMBER THEY GET!

[door opening]

[door closing]

HI.

(male announcer) THE PROTEST DIDN'T
START UNTIL EVERYONE HAD HAD LUNCH.

BY THEN, THE NICETIES WERE OVER.

THE STUDENTS AND THEIR
TEACHERS HIT PARIS IN WAVES.

THE LARGEST IN A MONTH-LONG
SERIES OF DEMONSTRATIONS.

[protestors yelling]

OFFICIALLY, NEARLY 3,000 EXTRA RIOT
POLICE TURNED OUT TO MEET THEM,

BUT SOME SAID THE
NUMBER WAS DOUBLE.

AT ANY RATE, THEY AND THE STUDENTS
HAVE PLAYED THIS GAME BEFORE.

THEY BOTH KNEW THE RULES.

IT WAS THE BIGGEST SO FAR OF THE
RECENT STUDENT DEMONSTRATIONS.

A NATIONAL ONE CALLED TO
PROTEST AGAINST GOVERNMENT PLANS

TO REFORM THE UNIVERSITIES.

BUT THE GOVERNMENT
HAS HANDLED IT SO CLUMSILY

THAT ALTHOUGH THE PLANS
ARE STILL DELIBERATELY VAGUE,

EVERYONE, LEFT AND
RIGHT, FEELS THREATENED.

♪♪[protestors singing in French]

IT WAS MOSTLY THE RIGHT-WINGERS
WHO TURNED OUT TODAY...

JOSEPHSON REQUESTED
A BACKUP TEAM.

I THOUGHT IT WAS A COLD OP.

SO DID HE.

THEY FOUND LAND
MINES IN THE AREA.

SOMEONE'S BEEN THERE RECENTLY.

WE NEED THAT INTEL.
GIVE HIM WHAT HE NEEDS.

I SEE I'M SCHEDULED TO GO ONLINE
WITH THE AGENCY THIS AFTERNOON.

THEY WANT TO KNOW
ABOUT BRUSSELS.

ANYTHING CHANGED
IN THE LAST 24 HOURS?

NO.

SEE IF YOU CAN PUT THEM OFF.

THERE'S NO POINT UNTIL
WE KNOW SOMETHING.

I DISAGREE.

YOU NEED TO SHOW YOUR PRESENCE.

THIS THING WILL GET
BLOODY, AND WHEN IT DOES,

WHOEVER HAS AN
ATTENDANCE PROBLEM WILL PAY.

I WAS A LITTLE DIRECT YESTERDAY.

I HOPE YOU DIDN'T
TAKE IT THE WRONG WAY.

OF COURSE NOT.

WHERE ARE WE ON
THE MUSEUM BOMBING?

I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING
ON MY SCREEN.

IF NOTHING COMES UP IN A COUPLE
OF HOURS, CALL DOWN TO COMM.

[keyboard clacking]

WE NEED TO TALK.

I'M BUSY.

I FOLLOWED YOU LAST NIGHT.

YES?

RENE DIAN.

IN 1984, ALONG WITH SOME OTHER

EXTREMIST STUDENTS
AT PARIS UNIVERSITY,

HE FORMED A RADICAL ACTIVIST
GROUP CALLED L'HEURE SANGUINE.

THE BLOODY HOUR.

THERE WAS A
BOMBING. PEOPLE DIED.

EVERYONE ESCAPED,
EXCEPT FOR YOU.

YOU WERE ARRESTED.

OF COURSE, YOU DIED
IN PRISON, JUST LIKE I DID.

AND NOW, AFTER ALL THIS TIME,

RENE'S RESURFACED.

AND YOU TWO HAVE CROSSED PATHS.

YES, I KNEW HIM.

AND YOU'RE PROTECTING HIM.

UP TO A CERTAIN POINT.

WHY WOULD YOU
PROTECT HIM AT ALL?

AFTER ALL THE LECTURES TO ME

ABOUT SACRIFICING FEELINGS
FOR GREATER GOOD. HMM?

I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT, NIKITA.

THERE'S SOMETHING
YOU'RE NOT TELLING ME.

JUST STAY OUT OF IT.

[door closing]

HEY, BIRKOFF, I JUST
REMEMBERED SOMETHING.

WHAT?

THIS GUY FROM THE MUSEUM
MIGHT HAVE HAD A MOLE ON HIS NECK.

AND HE COULD HAVE BEEN FRENCH.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
COULD HAVE BEEN FRENCH?

JUST CHECK IT.

ALL RIGHT. I'LL ADD
THE 2 CONSTRAINTS.

ADD MOLE,

AND FRENCH.

THAT'S HIM.

(Birkoff) "RENE DIAN.
L'HEURE SANGUINE.

A SMALL STUDENT RADICAL
GROUP FROM THE '80s. INACTIVE."

NO WONDER IT DIDN'T SHOW UP.

DO YOU KNOW WHERE TO FIND HIM?

I CAN TRY.

HE'S HERE. THERE'S
A TRACKER ON HIM.

(Birkoff) WHAT ARE YOU...

DON'T ASK QUESTIONS.
JUST TAKE THE CREDIT.

YES?

RENE DIAN. YOU
WERE CLOSE WITH HIM.

YES. WHY?

HE'S RESPONSIBLE FOR
THE MUSEUM BOMBING.

HOW DO WE KNOW?

NIKITA REMEMBERED A FEW DETAILS

WHICH POINTED MR. BIRKOFF
IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

I SEE.

WE'D LIKE YOU TO BRING HIM IN.

IS THAT A PROBLEM?

OF COURSE NOT.

GOOD.

[door creaking]

I ASKED YOU TO STAY OUT OF IT.

YES, YOU DID.

YOU SHOULD TRY TALKING
TO ME NEXT TIME, MICHAEL.

MAYBE YOU'LL GET BETTER RESULTS.

(Michael) HE'S MOVING POSITION.

ALL TEAMS, CONVERGE
TO THE SOUTH EXIT.

HE'S LEAVING THE BUILDING.

[grunts]

[groaning]

[panting]

GET UP!

[groans]

SHAME ON YOU!

AFTER WHAT I'VE DONE FOR YOU...

I WAS MISTAKEN WHEN I
SAID YOU WERE STILL ALIVE.

GET HIM OUT OF HERE.

MICHAEL'S TEAM JUST
PICKED UP RENE DIAN.

THEY'RE ON THEIR WAY.

IT WAS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME

BEFORE MICHAEL CROSSED PATHS
WITH SOMEONE FROM HIS PAST.

CAN WE USE THEIR
RELATIONSHIP TO OUR ADVANTAGE?

WE'RE EXPLORING THAT NOW.

GOOD.

YOU NEED TO FIND OUT IF
THE BOMBINGS ARE THE WORK

OF A RESURRECTED
L'HEURE SANGUINE,

OR IF THEY REPRESENT A
NEW ASSOCIATION OF DIAN.

ARE YOU GOING TO BE HERE LATE?

MOST LIKELY. WHY?

I'LL HAVE CHRISTOPHER BRING
UP SOME DINNER FOR YOU.

WELL, THAT WOULD BE NICE.

[door closing]

THE MIND IS AN AMAZING THING.

SOMETIMES.

WHILE I SAT HERE WAITING,
KNOWING WHAT'S TO COME,

THE STRANGEST
THOUGHTS CAME TO ME.

"DID IT RAIN LAST THURSDAY?"

SUDDENLY, KNOWING
THAT WAS CRITICAL.

[laughs]

WHY WOULD THAT CONCERN ME?

HERE? NOW?

IT'S STRANGE.

PERHAPS IT'S YOUR FEAR
LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO HIDE.

HMM.

PERHAPS.

WHAT GROUP HAS CONTRACTED
YOU TO DO THESE BOMBINGS?

HMM, I SEE MY
CHARM IS INSUFFICIENT

TO DISTRACT YOU FROM
THE BUSINESS AT HAND.

I'M AFRAID SO.

TOO BAD.

WHAT WAS YOUR QUESTION?

(Madeline) THE GROUP
YOU'RE WORKING FOR.

RED CELL.

RED CELL?

YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME?

WELL,

RED CELL IS
SOPHISTICATED, GLOBAL.

AND YOUR RECORD SUGGESTS
MORE PROVINCIAL ACTIVITY.

ONE MUST FACE THE
REALITIES OF A MODERN WORLD.

MERGERS, TAKEOVERS.

EVEN IN THE RESISTANCE MOVEMENT.

WHAT ARE THEIR TARGETS?

WE'VE PLANTED DEVICES IN
EVERY MAJOR CITY IN THE WORLD.

WE'LL BEGIN DETONATING
THEM ONE AT A TIME.

I SEE.

[door creaking]

[door closing]

[sighs]

HE CLAIMS HE'S NO LONGER
AFFILIATED WITH L'HEURE SANGUINE.

BUT HE'S BEEN
COMMISSIONED TO SET OFF

THESE BOMBS ON
BEHALF OF RED CELL.

IS THAT LIKELY?

NO.

I AGREE.

WHAT'S HE DOING, MICHAEL?

TRYING TO REGAIN HIS IMPORTANCE.

RENE IS LIVING IN ANOTHER TIME.

HIS CAUSES ARE OBSOLETE,
MOST OF HIS COMRADES ARE DEAD.

SO YOU THINK HE'S ON HIS OWN?

PERHAPS.

BUT RENE IS A LEADER. HIS
STRENGTH IS RECRUITMENT.

THERE MAY BE A FEW
OTHERS. NOT MANY.

WE HAVE TO CLEAN THIS UP.

WOULD YOU LIKE ME
TO TAKE CARE OF IT?

NO, I'LL DO IT.

[knocking on door]

COME IN.

I WAS SURPRISED
TO GET YOUR CALL.

DID YOU FINISH THE DEBRIEF?

YES.

WHY?

YOU DID THE RIGHT THING, NIKITA.

THAT'S HOW YOU
TRAINED ME, MICHAEL.

RENE AND I WERE STUDENTS
TOGETHER AT THE UNIVERSITY.

WE SHARED SIMILAR BELIEFS.

MOSTLY THAT A CHANGE WAS NEEDED.

WE ORGANIZED DEMONSTRATIONS.

SHOUTED SLOGANS, MADE SPEECHES.

MADE BOMBS?

YES.

I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER
HOW IT STARTED.

I WAS ANGRY AT EVERYTHING.

THE WORLD AROUND ME.

WHEN I MET RENE, EVERYTHING
HE SAID SEEMED SO TRUE.

WHY ARE YOU IN HIS DEBT?

MY SISTER.

YOUR SISTER?

AFTER MY PARENTS
DIED, I TOOK CARE OF HER.

SHE WAS STILL VERY YOUNG.

WHEN I WAS ARRESTED, THERE
WAS NO ONE TO HELP HER.

RENE TOOK HER IN.

EVEN AFTER HE THOUGHT I WAS
DEAD, HE KEPT PROVIDING FOR HER.

HE HAD NO REASONS TO DO
IT EXCEPT OUT OF KINDNESS.

DIDN'T YOU TELL ME ONCE

THAT YOU CAN'T SEPARATE
THE MAN FROM HIS ACTIONS?

HE'S STILL A TERRORIST.

TO ME, HIS ACTIONS
ARE THAT OF A FRIEND.

MICHAEL, DISENGAGE.

LET THE SECTION SORT THIS OUT.

IT'S TOO LATE.

A PROFILE'S BEEN SET.

I'M NOT SURE I CAN DO IT.

WHY ARE YOU TELLING ME THIS?

I WANTED YOU TO KNOW

IN CASE SOMETHING HAPPENS TO ME.

(Operations) WHAT'S GOING ON?

WE'RE GETTING A DELTA ALARM.

NUCLEAR DETONATION?

2 OF THEM. 30 SECONDS APART.

ONE IN THE UKRAINE,
ONE IN THE ATLANTIC.

IT DOESN'T MAKE
SENSE. HOW LONG AGO?

2 MINUTES. HAVE YOU CONFIRMED?

NO. ALL OUR INTERNAL
SYSTEMS ARE CONSISTENT.

ALL RIGHT.

INITIATE A LOCKUP, THEN GO TO
LEVEL 4 AND BRING EVERYBODY IN.

LINK UP WITH THE D.O.D.
SATELLITE, SEE WHAT DATA IT HAS.

MICHAEL?

DO EXACTLY AS I SAY.

WHERE ARE WE GOING?
WHAT'S HAPPENING?

I'M GETTING YOU OUT OF HERE.

ARE YOU SURE? NOTHING?

WHAT ABOUT SEISMIC?

ALL RIGHT, THANKS.
THERE WAS NO EVENT.

WHATEVER WE'RE
SEEING IS INTERNAL.

HOW COULD THAT BE?

I DON'T KNOW YET.

ARE WE SAFE?

NOT YET.

WE HAVE TO GET
OUT OF LOCAL RADIUS.

HOW DID YOU DO THIS?

I UPLOADED A PSEUDO ALARM.

THEY'VE DISCOVERED IT BY NOW,

BUT IT'LL GIVE US TIME
TO REACH A BLIND SPOT.

FROM THERE, WE CAN
GET OUT OF THE COUNTRY.

THEY'LL TRACK YOU DOWN.

IT DOESN'T MATTER.

[snickers]

THEY'LL KILL YOU.

[sighs]

JOIN US, MICHAEL.

GIVE YOUR LIFE SOME MEANING
AGAIN, OR DEATH SOME PURPOSE.

IT'S NOT POSSIBLE.

WHY NOT?

IT'LL BE WHAT WE ALWAYS WANTED.

WE'RE OLDER, SMARTER.

WE CAN DO IT RIGHT THIS TIME.

ONCE WE'RE OUT OF THE COUNTRY,
I'LL TAKE YOU SOMEWHERE SAFE.

DO YOU KNOW A PLACE?

I DO.

I'LL HAVE THE OTHERS
JOIN US THERE.

MEET THEM. LISTEN TO THEM.

THEN IF YOU'RE NOT CONVINCED,

I'LL HELP YOU DISAPPEAR WHERE
NO ONE CAN EVER FIND YOU.

HUH?

ARE WE FULLY OPERATIONAL?

(Birkoff) I DELETED THE VIRUS
MICHAEL PLANTED IN THE SYSTEM.

ARE WE TRACKING?

YEAH, I'VE GOT THEM.

ALL RIGHT, MOBILIZE THE TEAM.

EVERYONE'S ON THEIR WAY IN.

GOOD.

I JUST GOT THE CALL.
WHERE'S MICHAEL?

BIRKOFF WILL FILL YOU IN.

(Birkoff) THE PROFILE'S
BEING DOWNLOADED NOW.

[sighs]

[chuckles]

WHAT?

I WAS REMEMBERING '84.

THE TRANSPORTATION STRIKE.

YOU GROW UP DREAMING
OF THE GREAT CAUSE.

AND THE ROLE YOU MIGHT PLAY.

WE SPENT MOST OF OUR TIME
DELIVERING FRESH UNDERWEAR

AND TOILET PAPER
TO THE STRIKERS.

[chuckles]

WE RODE THOSE
BEAT-UP LAMBRETTAS.

THOSE WERE THE GOOD TIMES.

YOU MUST AGREE ON THAT, NO?

WE WERE YOUNG.

EVERYTHING SEEMED GOOD THEN.

[sighs]

HEY-HEY. IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU.

SALUT.

(woman) SALUT.

GOOD TO SEE YOU.

OH...

COME ON. COME.

MICHAEL.

[speaking French]

(Rene) ARE WE STILL ON
SCHEDULE FOR TUESDAY?

WE JUST GOT THE
DETONATORS LAST NIGHT.

CLAUDE IS PREPARING THEM.

WE'RE STUDYING THE
LAYOUT OF THE CLINIC NOW.

(Rene) OUR MATERIAL IS LIMITED.

WE CAN'T LEVEL THE BUILDING.

PLANT THE CHARGES WHERE
THEY'LL KILL THE MOST PEOPLE.

I HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU.

(Michael) WHAT DID YOU
TELL HER ABOUT ME?

THE TRUTH. THAT YOU
WERE A GREAT HERO.

SHE MARRIED A CHEF.

THEY LIVE IN THE COUNTRY
WITH THEIR YOUNG SON.

YES, I KNOW. I CHECK ON THEM.

SO YOU'VE SEEN THEM.

NOT IN PERSON.

I MONITOR THEM
THROUGH OUR SYSTEM.

IT'S NOT THE SAME.

YOU HAVE TO SEE THEM.

(Birkoff) PERIMETER
TEAM "A" STAY ON MARK.

HE'S A BEAUTIFUL BOY, MICHAEL.

LET'S HAVE SOME WINE.

HERE.

NOT YET.

[chuckles]

NOT YET MEANS YOU WILL SOON?

(Birkoff) KEEP THEM IN VISUAL.

AND WITH MICHAEL ABOARD,

YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THE
MEANING OF THE WORD "COMMITMENT."

THERE'S NO ONE LIKE
HIM. THERE NEVER WAS.

[speaking French]

(Birkoff) NOW.

[explosion]

[guns firing]

EVERYONE'S BEEN HIT. CEASE FIRE.

OUTSIDE TEAMS,
HOLD YOUR POSITION.

[gasping]

HOW COULD YOU?

I'M SORRY.

YOU HAVE NO SOUL, NO HONOR.

DEFEND YOURSELF!

I SAID, DEFEND YOURSELF!

YOU ONCE SAID A PERSON
DEFINES THEMSELVES

BY WHAT THEY ARE
WILLING TO DIE FOR.

I WILL DIE FOR A BELIEF.

AND YOU WILL DIE
BECAUSE YOU HAVE NONE.

[gun fires]

[groans]

YOU SHOULD HAVE LET HIM DO IT.

YOU WANTED TO SEE ME?

I KNOW SOMETIMES THE
LINE CAN BLUR, NIKITA.

THE ONE BETWEEN
LOYALTY TO A FRIEND

AND DUTY TO THE SECTION.

IT'S A COMMON MISTAKE
FOR AN OPERATIVE TO BELIEVE

THAT HE OR SHE CAN ELUDE
THE EYES OF THE SECTION.

THEY CAN'T.

I NEVER THOUGHT I COULD.

THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US
ABOUT RENE DIAN FROM THE BEGINNING?

BECAUSE I HAD NOTHING TO...

I WAS PROTECTING HIM.

THAT'S INTERESTING.

YOU TRYING TO PROTECT HIM.

IF MICHAEL WAS HIDING SOMETHING,

THERE HAD TO HAVE
BEEN A POWERFUL REASON.

I RESPECTED THAT.

MICHAEL WAS THROWN
OFF BALANCE BY RENE.

BUT HE WAS QUICK TO ADJUST,

AS WE KNEW HE WOULD.

THERE'S NOTHING YOU KNOW
THAT WE DON'T KNOW FIRST.

NO MOVE YOU'LL MAKE
WE DON'T ANTICIPATE.

I THINK YOU FUNDAMENTALLY
UNDERSTAND THIS.

BUT EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE,
YOU NEED TO BE REMINDED.

OR WARNED.

IT MIGHT SEEM
FAR-FETCHED, NIKITA.

BUT YOU HAVE A FUTURE
WITH SECTION ONE.

JUST A REMINDER.
