La Femme Nikita (1997–2001): Season 3, Episode 12 - Threshold of Pain - full transcript
WANT TO GRAB SOME LUNCH?
YEAH, UH, UH, UH, JUST WANT
TO FINISH LOOKING AT THIS.
(Birkoff) IS THAT A GRUNEN 412?
YEAH, I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO
SEE ONE OF THESE THINGS UP CLOSE.
(Birkoff) I HEARD THE DETONATORS
ARE PITCH-AND-ROLL SENSITIVE.
[beeping]
(Birkoff) BETTER
GET IT TO DISPOSAL.
MAYBE YOU'RE RIGHT.
[grunting]
IT'S JAMMED.
STAY AWAY FROM ME!
(Walter) LOOK OUT!
I'VE GOT A BOMB!
OUT OF MY WAY! GET AWAY FROM ME!
ALL RIGHT, STAY BACK!
[explosive rumbling]
[sighing]
SO,
WHERE'D YOU LIKE TO HAVE LUNCH?
[woman speaking French]
(Operations) THIS IS THE WORK
OF A RECENTLY FORMED GROUP
CALLING ITSELF BLACK MARCH.
THEY FREELANCE FOR VARIOUS
TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS.
THEY APPEAR TO BE
MOTIVATED BY MONEY
AND THE SHEER JOY OF
CAUSING PAIN AND DESTRUCTION.
(Operations) THESE ARE THE
LEADERS OF BLACK MARCH:
SIMON CRACHEK, AND
HIS PARTNER CAROLINE.
SOME SOURCES SAY
THEY'RE BROTHER AND SISTER,
OTHERS, THAT THEY'RE LOVERS.
IN FACT, THEY'RE PROBABLY BOTH.
IN 24 HOURS, BLACK MARCH WILL BE
MEETING IN THE SUBURBS OF BUKHARA.
OUR JOB IS TO TERMINATE THEM.
YOU LEAVE IN ONE HOUR.
THESE NEW SIGHTS
READ A TRIFLE HIGH.
DON'T LET THEM THROW YOU.
OK. THANKS, WALTER. OK.
REAL LOVEBIRDS, HUH?
YOU THINK IT'S NOT REAL?
AH, IT'S REAL.
WHAT, SO YOU DON'T APPROVE?
I APPROVE.
IT'S JUST THAT IT'LL...
IT'LL END BADLY SOONER OR LATER.
IT ALWAYS DOES IN THIS PLACE.
THEY KNOW THAT.
(Nikita) MIRACLE IS THEY
MAKE IT WORK ANYWAY,
AND THEY MAKE IT SEEM SO SIMPLE.
GOOD LUCK, SUGAR, AND DON'T
FORGET ABOUT THOSE SIGHTS.
(Nikita) YEAH, I GOT IT.
GO.
I'VE GOT A CLEAR VISUAL.
ALL OPERATIVES, POINT
DELTA IN ONE MINUTE.
(Nikita) BIRKOFF, DO
YOU HAVE THE HOSTILE?
(Birkoff) GOT HIM.
YOU'RE CLEAR.
[clattering]
[gun firing]
[groans]
ANGELA!
[guns firing]
(Mark) I'M GOING TO GET HER.
(Nikita) MARK!
YOU CAN'T GO!
(Mark) YOU'RE FINE. I'M
GETTING YOU OUT OF HERE.
BIRKOFF, WE NEED TO EXTRACT.
[gun firing]
[Mark groaning]
[Nikita grunting]
[car tires screeching]
WHERE ARE THEY, BIRKOFF?
WE LOST THEM.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
(Birkoff) THEY WERE TAKEN
IN SOME KIND OF VEHICLE.
I'M DOWNLOADING
SATELLITE INTEL RIGHT NOW.
STANDARD PROTOCOL
DICTATES AN ABORT.
STANDARD PROTOCOL IS SUSPENDED.
FIND THEM.
NOW, WHICH ONE SHOULD
WE START WITH FIRST?
(Crachek) CAROLINE
WOULDN'T HESITATE.
SHE'D KNOW IMMEDIATELY.
BUT THEN, SHE'S AN ARTIST.
BY COMPARISON, I'M
SOMETHING OF A BUTCHER.
(Crachek) THIS ONE WILL DO.
NOW, YOUR EQUIPMENT AND TACTICS
SUGGEST A SECTION ONE. AM I RIGHT?
[moaning]
YOU HAVE A
SUBSTATION CALLED S-6.
IT'S BEEN VERY ACTIVE LATELY.
I'VE A NUMBER OF COLLEAGUES
WHO'D PAY VERY DEARLY
FOR ITS PRECISE LOCATION.
GIVE IT TO ME!
[groaning]
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
MY NAME IS CAROLINE.
[groaning]
[laughing]
(Caroline) WE'RE GOING TO
BECOME VERY WELL ACQUAINTED
IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS.
LET ME TELL YOU
HOW IT'S GOING TO BE.
YOU ARE GOING TO
BECOME MY CONFIDANTE,
MY SISTER,
MY LOVER.
[gasping]
YOU WILL TELL ME
EVERYTHING I WANT TO KNOW
AND MUCH THAT I
DON'T CARE ABOUT.
I WILL ASK AND YOU WILL LEAP.
THAT'S IT.
WHAT'S IT LIKE TO FEEL PAIN?
I'M INCAPABLE OF IT MYSELF.
IT COULD BE AN ADVANTAGE,
BUT IT COULD BE VERY LONELY.
DON'T YOU THINK IT'S
SAD THAT I'M SO LONELY?
[screaming] (Mark)
LEAVE HER ALONE.
(Mark) STOP!
[grunting]
[Angela moaning]
YOU'RE LOVERS.
(Crachek) WHEN YOU WORK
WITH BODIES AS MUCH AS I DO,
YOU LEARN TO WATCH EVERY MOVE,
EVERY TWITCH, AND
YOU TWO ARE LOVERS.
(Mark) NO, WE'RE NOT.
SO I CAN DO ANYTHING
I WANT WITH HER
AND IT WON'T BOTHER
YOU AT ALL, RIGHT?
[Angela groaning]
NO. (Mark) NO!
[Angela screaming]
DON'T! LET HER...
WHY NOT? YOU BARELY KNOW HER.
(Mark) ALL RIGHT, I'LL TELL YOU.
TELL ME WHAT?
ANYTHING. ANYTHING YOU WANT.
SUBSTATION 6?
YES.
CAROLINE, TIME'S UP.
[beeping]
I'VE GOT A VEHICLE TO THE
SOUTH ABOUT 12 MINUTES AGO.
HAS TO BE THEM.
(Birkoff) I'M SENDING
THE COORDINATES NOW.
HOW FAR?
15 MINUTES, MAYBE LESS.
MOVE.
WELL, WELL!
I CAN'T BELIEVE I BEAT YOU.
HER PAIN THRESHOLD IS VERY HIGH.
(Caroline) I'D HAVE BROKEN HER
EVENTUALLY, BUT, UH, YOU WIN,
THIS TIME.
OH, I JUST GOT LUCKY.
THEY'RE LOVERS.
AND, NOW, AS THEY SAY, TALK.
(Mark)
KILOMETERS,
DUE EAST,
[sighing]
11 FIELD OPERATIVES,
UPGRADED 6-OVER-7
SECURITY PACKAGE.
THANK YOU. THAT'S VERY HELPFUL.
[guns firing]
THEY TRACED US ALREADY.
I THOUGHT IT WOULD TAKE LONGER.
LET'S GO.
(Mark) NO! NO!
[grunting]
I'M SORRY.
[crying] NO.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
TO TELL OPERATIONS
WHAT HAPPENED.
YOU CAN'T.
I HAVE TO.
I GAVE UP A SUBSTATION.
[whispering] SHUT UP.
THEY'LL CANCEL YOU.
IF THE SUBSTATION'S HIT, THEY'LL
FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED
AND CANCEL ME ANYWAY.
LOOK, AT LEAST THIS
WAY, I SAVE LIVES.
ALL RIGHT. YOU CAN SAVE THE
SUBSTATION WITHOUT GIVING YOURSELF UP.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
I'LL TELL YOU LATER.
BUT RIGHT NOW, WE'VE GOT A
DEBRIEF IN ABOUT 5 MINUTES.
LISTEN TO ME. WE WERE CAPTURED.
WE WERE TORTURED.
WE WERE RESCUED.
THAT'S ALL THAT HAPPENED.
WE WERE CAPTURED.
WE WERE TORTURED.
WE WERE RESCUED. SAY IT.
WE WERE CAPTURED.
WE WERE TORTURED.
WE WERE RESCUED.
THAT'S ABOUT IT.
THE DETAILS ARE FUZZY.
(Madeline) DOES THAT
INCLUDE ANGELA'S DEATH?
I DIDN'T ACTUALLY SEE THAT.
WHY NOT?
(Mark) I WAS UNCONSCIOUS.
FROM TORTURE?
I WAS KNOCKED OUT
WHEN I WAS CAPTURED,
AND AFTER THAT I WAS IN AND OUT.
YOU AND ANGELA WERE CLOSE.
(Mark) YES.
(Madeline) I'M SORRY.
WE KNEW THE RISKS.
DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD?
NO. I WAS PRETTY MUCH
IN THE SAME CONDITION.
(Madeline) SO YOU DIDN'T
SEE ANGELA DIE, EITHER?
NO.
[sighing]
THAT'S ALL FOR NOW.
ONE MORE QUESTION.
(Madeline) WHY DO YOU
SUPPOSE THEY KILLED HER?
YOU WERE BOTH BARELY CONSCIOUS.
WHAT DID THEY GAIN BY IT?
MAYBE THEY WANTED
US TO SEE HER DEAD BODY
WHEN WE CAME AROUND.
AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT WOULD
HAPPEN TO US IF WE DIDN'T COOPERATE.
OUR INTEL INDICATES THEY'RE
USUALLY MORE DIRECT THAN THAT.
I GOT THE IMPRESSION THAT
THEY INFLICT PAIN AND DEATH
FOR THE SHEER FUN OF IT.
YOU CAN GO, BUT STAND BY.
THERE'S GOING TO BE
A FOLLOW-UP MISSION.
(Mark) SHE DIDN'T BUY IT.
PROBABLY NOT, BUT I DOUBT
SHE SUSPECTS THE TRUTH, EITHER.
NOT YET, ANYWAY.
WHY? HUH?
WHY DID HE KILL HER?
I CAN'T EXPLAIN THAT, MARK.
HE'S INSANE.
HE WANTED TO SEE THE
EXPRESSION ON MY FACE.
HE ACTUALLY SEEMED CURIOUS.
WE CAN'T THINK
ABOUT THAT RIGHT NOW.
WE JUST HAVE TO FACE THE FUTURE.
CRACHEK SAID THAT THERE
WAS MORE THAN ONE GROUP
INTERESTED IN BUYING THIS INTEL.
THAT MEANS IT'S GOING
TO TAKE TIME FOR A DEAL.
IF WE CAN GET TO HIM AND
CAROLINE BEFORE THIS GOES DOWN...
THE INTEL DIES WITH THEM.
EXACTLY.
HOW DO WE FIND THEM?
I'LL HANDLE IT.
MADELINE SAID THERE'S GOING
TO BE A FOLLOW-UP MISSION.
THAT CAN BE DELAYED. HOW?
I'LL HANDLE IT.
I WANT YOU TO REST
AND STAY CLOSE.
[sighs]
WALTER, I NEED YOU TO
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS TIMER.
WALTER?
(Walter) IT WAS MY FAULT.
(Michael) WHAT?
THE BLACK MARCH MISSION.
THE SIGHTS READ HIGH.
I WARNED THE TEAM, BUT I SHOULD
HAVE MADE THE ADJUSTMENT.
WHY DIDN'T YOU?
WASN'T TIME,
BUT I SHOULD HAVE MADE TIME.
A LOT OF THINGS WENT
WRONG ON THAT MISSION.
THE SIGHTS HAD
NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.
YOU DON'T KNOW THAT.
ROUNDS FLYING,
SPLIT-SECOND DECISIONS,
THE SMALLEST GLITCH
CAN RUIN EVERYTHING.
WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME?
FIRST, I ALMOST
BLOW EVERYBODY UP.
AND NOW THIS.
I NEED THIS TIMER CALIBRATED.
YEAH, JUST, UH, JUST LEAVE
IT RIGHT THERE, MICHAEL.
I'LL... I'LL GET TO IT.
[sighs]
HEY.
WHAT'S THE STATUS ON
THE FOLLOW-UP MISSION?
I'VE GOT A PROBABLE LOCATION.
I'M JUST WAITING TO CONFIRM.
ANYWHERE NEAR KIEV?
NO.
(Birkoff) BUCHAREST.
WHY?
WHILE I WAS BEING HELD,
I SEEMED TO REMEMBER
CRACHEK SAYING TO CAROLINE
SOMETHING ABOUT A MEETING IN KIEV.
WHY DIDN'T YOU MENTION
THIS AT THE DEBRIEF?
IT JUST CAME BACK
TO ME. I DON'T KNOW.
I KEEP REMEMBERING
THINGS IN BITS AND PIECES.
I'LL CHECK IT OUT.
IT MIGHT DELAY
THINGS FOR A WHILE.
WELL, IF YOU THINK
IT'S WORTH IT THEN.
YEAH.
WALTER?
YEAH, SUGAR.
I NEED A BERETTA
92F AND A BABY GLOCK.
I GUESS I OWE YOU THAT MUCH.
(Nikita) OWE ME?
THE MISSION WENT SOUTH BECAUSE
OF THE SIGHTS. PARTLY, AT LEAST.
ARE YOU IN SOME KIND OF TROUBLE?
YEAH.
WELL, BE COOL.
(Nikita) YEAH, THANKS.
YOU WANTED TO SEE ME?
YEAH. I NEED A FAVOR, MICK.
YOU KNOW ABOUT BLACK MARCH?
[sighing]
NEW PLAYERS, LOTS
OF SPLINTER GROUPS.
OUT OF CONTROL. GOOD
LOT TO STAY CLEAR OF
AND, UH, I PLAN TO
STAY CLEAR OF THEM.
IT'S LED BY 2 PSYCHOTICS
NAMED CRACHEK AND CAROLINE.
I MEAN, YOU'VE GOT
THE CONNECTIONS, MICK.
I NEED TO KNOW WHERE THEY ARE.
[sighs] DO YOU?
YEAH. AND QUICKLY.
AND WHAT IS IN IT FOR ME?
I WON'T BREAK EVERY
BONE IN YOUR BODY.
(Mick) I NEVER COULD
RESIST A WOMAN IN DISTRESS.
IT'S MY ONE WEAKNESS, REALLY.
QUICKLY.

[screaming]
[gun firing]
[people screaming]
[car tires screeching]
[car horn honking]
WE'VE STILL GOT A
COUPLE MORE HOURS.
I'M GOING TO CALL
MICK, SEE IF HE CAN TRY...
EVEN IF WE FOUND CRACHEK AGAIN,
WE COULDN'T MAKE
ANOTHER HIT IN TIME.
I BLEW IT. IT'S THAT SIMPLE.
YEAH, BUT...
I HAVE TO TELL OPERATIONS
THE SUBSTATION'S VULNERABLE.
DO YOU WANT ME TO GO WITH YOU?
NO, NO, I'LL GO ALONE.
THANKS. FOR EVERYTHING.
SORRY.
YEAH.
WHAT IS IT?
I NEED TO TALK TO YOU.
IT'LL HAVE TO WAIT. I'M BUSY.
A SUBSTATION'S BEEN COMPROMISED.
WHICH ONE?
(Mark) S-6.
DEGREE? LOCATION,
SECURITY, EVERYTHING.
IT HAPPENED DURING
THE BLACK MARCH MISSION.
WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE?
NIKITA.
(Operations) YOU SHOULD
HAVE COME FORWARD AT ONCE.
NIKITA BEGGED ME TO WAIT.
(Mark) SHE HAD A PLAN
TO SET THINGS RIGHT,
BUT IT DIDN'T WORK OUT.
NOW IT'S A QUESTION OF SAVING
THE SUBSTATION, SO HERE I AM.
(Mark) SHE WAS ONLY
TRYING TO HELP ANGELA.
IF YOU CAN TAKE
THAT INTO ACCOUNT...
YOU'D DO BETTER TO
WORRY ABOUT YOURSELF.
YOU'LL BE SANCTIONED FOR
NOT INFORMING ME EARLIER.
I UNDERSTAND.
BRING NIKITA TO ABEYANCE.
YOU HAVE TO GO WITH US.
WHY?
YOU'RE IN DETENTION.
HE WAS TRYING TO KEEP ANGELA
FROM SUFFERING AT THE
HANDS OF THAT BUTCHER.
I DON'T BLAME HIM.
(Nikita) SO HE GAVE
UP THE SUBSTATION.
MARK SAYS YOU DID.
HE'S LYING TO PROTECT HIMSELF.
(Madeline) AT THE DEBRIEFING YOU
SAID THAT NEITHER ONE OF YOU BROKE.
(Nikita) THAT'S RIGHT.
YOU LIED.
YES, I DID.
(Madeline) THEN WHY
SHOULD I BELIEVE YOU NOW?
BECAUSE I WAS
TRYING TO PROTECT HIM.
WHY?
BECAUSE I'D JUST SEEN
HIM GO THROUGH HELL
AND I WANTED TO
MAKE THINGS RIGHT.
OUT OF THE GOODNESS
OF YOUR HEART?
(Nikita) OUT OF A THING
CALLED FRIENDSHIP.
YOU SHOULD LOOK IT UP.
(Madeline) CONGRATULATIONS.
YOU PASSED WITH FLYING COLORS.
SO WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?
SO DID MARK.
THEN HE'S FOUND SOME
WAY TO BEAT THE MACHINE.
OR YOU HAVE.
IF YOU'RE AS GOOD AT READING
PEOPLE AS YOU SAY YOU ARE,
THEN YOU SHOULD BE ABLE
TO TELL THAT I'M INNOCENT
BY LOOKING IN MY EYES.
EXACTLY WHAT MARK SAID.
SHE SAID SHE HEARD
THEM MENTION KIEV.
I HAD TO DELAY THE
MISSION TO CHECK IT OUT.
(Operations) AND?
IT WAS FALSE. NOT EVEN CLOSE.
(Operations) DO YOU THINK
SHE DELIBERATELY MISLED YOU?
WELL,
SHE WAS DAZED, IN PAIN.
WHO KNOWS WHAT...
BIRKOFF,
DO YOU THINK SHE
DELIBERATELY MISLED YOU?
I DON'T HAVE AN OPINION ON THAT.
[machine beeps]
YES, I THINK SHE DID.
(Operations) THE GUNS USED
IN THE UNAUTHORIZED MISSION
HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED.
THEY CAME FROM YOUR ARSENAL.
MINE IS THE ONLY
ARSENAL IN SECTION.
HOW DID NIKITA GET THEM?
(Walter) I CAN'T KEEP
MY EYE ON EVERYTHING
EVERY SECOND OF THE DAY.
ANYBODY COULD HAVE TAKEN THEM.
HOW DO WE KNOW
THAT IT WAS NIKITA?
HER PRINTS WERE
FOUND ON THE GUNS.
SO WERE YOURS.
I HANDLE ALL THE WEAPONS.
(Operations) THE
PRINTS OVERLAPPED.
ANALYSIS INDICATES THEY
WERE HANDLED SIMULTANEOUSLY.
LABS MAKE MISTAKES.
(Operations) DID YOU
GIVE THEM TO HER?
WHAT KIND OF GUNS
WERE THOSE AGAIN?
DID YOU GIVE THE GUNS TO NIKITA?
[machine beeping] NO.
MACHINES AREN'T PERFECT.
I'VE HAD THIS COLD LATELY...
YOU HANDED THE GUNS TO NIKITA.
DO YOU DENY IT?
YES. I DENY IT.
[machine beeping]
I DENY IT.
[machine beeping]
THE SUBSTATION'S BEEN SECURED.
WE'LL INCUR NO DAMAGE THERE.
GOOD. NOW IT'S ONLY A
MATTER OF INTERNAL SECURITY.
I TEND TO BELIEVE NIKITA.
BUT YOU HAVE DOUBTS.
HER FLAW IS COMPASSION.
ANGELA'S SUFFERING MAY HAVE
AFFECTED HER EVEN
MORE THAN IT DID MARK.
AND SHE PLANNED THE
UNAUTHORIZED MISSION.
THAT SUGGESTS SHE
HAD THE MOST AT STAKE.
UNLESS HER COMPASSION WAS
ALLOWING HER TO PROTECT MARK.
(Operations) YOU'RE
ARGUING AGAINST YOURSELF.
IT'S NOT AN EASY CALL.
WE'VE SPENT ENOUGH TIME ON IT.
I WANT CLOSURE BY THE MORNING.
I'D LIKE TO TALK TO
YOU ABOUT WALTER.
YES. HE BEHAVED STRANGELY
IN THE INTERROGATION.
HE PRACTICALLY ASKED
TO BE SANCTIONED.
HE BLAMES HIMSELF FOR
THE BLACK MARCH MISSION.
HE THINKS IT WAS PARTIALLY
AN EQUIPMENT FAILURE.
IS THERE ANY EVIDENCE
THAT HE'S RIGHT?
NOT REALLY.
THEN HE'LL HAVE
TO SNAP OUT OF IT.
YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP.
HOW?
BY GIVING HIM A PAT ON THE BACK.
A PAT ON THE BACK?
A FEW WORDS OF
PRAISE OR APPRECIATION.
ARE YOU SERIOUS?
WALTER'S OLDER THAN MOST.
WORKS ALONE, 18 HOURS A
DAY, HAS VERY FEW OUTLETS.
AN EXCEPTION TO
OUR USUAL APPROACH
MIGHT BE APPROPRIATE.
ALL RIGHT.
I'LL STOP BY AND
PAT HIM ON THE BACK.
SO WHO DO THEY BELIEVE?
THEY DON'T KNOW.
WELL, THANKS FOR COMING, BUT
I DON'T SEE HOW YOU CAN HELP.
THEY'VE LOCATED BLACK
MARCH. THEY'RE SENDING A TEAM.
I'LL HAVE CRACHEK
BROUGHT HERE ALIVE.
JUST TELL ME WHAT
YOU WANT HIM TO SAY.
I WANT HIM TO TELL THE TRUTH.
THAT MARK GAVE
UP THE SUBSTATION.
(Michael) FINE.
(Nikita) YOU DON'T
BELIEVE ME, DO YOU?
(Michael) I DO BELIEVE YOU.
HOLD POSITIONS.
(Birkoff) WE GO
ACTIVE IN 3 MINUTES.
BIRKOFF.
I'M INSERTING A
MISSION PARAMETER.
THIS LATE?
(Michael) YES.
I WANT CRACHEK ALIVE.
THAT'S NOT CONSISTENT
WITH THE PROFILE.
THEN ALTER THE PROFILE.
DOES OPERATIONS KNOW ABOUT THIS?
JUST DO IT, BIRKOFF.
ALL UNITS, LISTEN UP.
WE HAVE A NEW PARAMETER.
WE NEED CRACHEK ALIVE.
(Birkoff) RESTATION ALPHA
TEAM 100 METERS TO THE NORTH.
(female agent) BIRKOFF, WE
CAN'T CHANGE THE PROFILE NOW.
IT'S TOO LATE.
WE'RE JUST GOING TO
HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT.
GOOD.
HELLO, WALTER. HOW'S EVERYTHING?
FINE.
I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW
HOW MUCH WE, MADELINE AND I,
APPRECIATE YOUR HARD WORK.
AND SO DOES OVERSIGHT.
WE'VE COMMENDED
YOU TO THEM MANY TIMES.
WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?
I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK
YOU FOR THE GOOD WORK.
(Walter) DON'T PATRONIZE ME.
ALL OF A SUDDEN OUT
OF THE CLEAR BLUE SKY,
YOU COME DOWN HERE AND SAY,
"THANKS FOR THE GOOD WORK"?
WHAT DO YOU WANT
ME TO DO, WAG MY TAIL?
IF YOU WANT SOMETHING FROM
ME, JUST COME OUT AND SAY IT.
LOOK, I JUST STOPPED BY TO GIVE...
TO GIVE YOU A PAT ON THE BACK.
I DON'T NEED A PAT ON THE BACK.
I'VE BEEN DOING THIS JOB SINCE
BEFORE YOU CAME TO SECTION,
AND I CAN PROBABLY
DO YOUR JOB, TOO.
REALLY?
(Walter) REALLY.
ONE OF THESE DAYS,
YOU'RE GOING TO CARRY
THIS CRANKY OLD MAN
ACT A LITTLE TOO FAR.
OH, WHAT THEN?
YOU WON'T COMMEND
ME TO OVERSIGHT?
WHY DID I BOTHER?
THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.
PAT ON THE BACK. BRILLIANT.
(Mark) BIRKOFF? HMM.
WHAT'S THIS ABOUT
CRACHEK BEING TAKEN ALIVE?
YEAH. THEY JUST BROUGHT
HIM INTO THE WHITE ROOM.
THE PROFILE CALLED
FOR ELIMINATION.
THE PROFILE GOT CHANGED.
WHOSE AUTHORITY?
MICHAEL'S.
OK, THANKS.
YOU'RE HERE TO TURN THE SCREWS.
IF ONLY YOU KNEW WHAT A COMPLETE
WASTE OF TIME THAT WAS FOR BOTH OF US.
YOU HELD 2 OPERATIVES.
ONE OF THEM TOLD YOU THE
LOCATION OF A SUBSTATION.
WHO WAS IT, THE
MAN OR THE WOMAN?
WHO WOULD YOU LIKE IT TO BE?
LET'S START WITH THE TRUTH.
YOU LOOK LIKE A MAN
WITH A VESTED INTEREST.
WHO WOULD YOU BE
TRYING TO PROTECT?
BET IT'S THE WOMAN.
SORRY. SHE WAS
THE ONE WHO BROKE.
YOU'RE LYING.
PROVE IT.
[groaning]
[buzzing]
[panting]
(Crachek) THANK YOU.
WELL?
WE'LL KNOW SOON.
WE'VE SPENT TOO MUCH
TIME ON THIS AS IT IS.
WE CAN'T SPEND ANY MORE.
LET ME TRY ONCE MORE.
DO YOU WANT TO LIVE?
NOT ESPECIALLY.
(Michael) WE COULD USE YOU.
(Crachek) FOR MY
EXPERTISE IN TORTURE?
YES.
I MIGHT BE INTERESTED IF I
THOUGHT I COULD TRUST YOU.
WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO LOSE?
HOW WILL THEY KNOW
I'M TELLING THE TRUTH?
GIVE THEM DETAILS.
TELL THEM EVERYTHING
THAT HAPPENED.
THEY'LL KNOW.
YOU REALLY WANT THE
WOMAN TO LIVE, DON'T YOU?
TOO BAD. SHE WAS
THE ONE WHO BROKE.
NO, WAIT. IT'S ALL
COMING BACK TO ME NOW.
(Crachek) IT WASN'T
THE WOMAN WHO BROKE.
IT WAS THE MAN. YEAH.
YOU WANT DETAILS?
(Crachek) THE, UH, OTHER WOMAN
WAS STRAPPED TO THE FENCE.
I TOOK A SCALPEL AND
BEGAN TO PEEL BACK HER FACE,
JUST ABOVE THE
LEFT EYE, I THINK.
SHE WAS IN SO MUCH AGONY,
SHE COULDN'T EVEN SCREAM.
JUST MADE THIS HORRIBLE
GURGLING SOUND.
THAT WAS WHEN HE
BEGGED ME TO STOP.
CONVINCING?
YES.
[laughing] SHAME IT'S TOO LATE.
(Operations) IT WORKED.
CONGRATULATIONS.
I SUPPOSE THIS
MEANS THE DEAL'S OFF.
NOT NECESSARILY.
TAKE HIM TO EVALUATION.
YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS.
WE HAVE TO UTILIZE
EVERY RESOURCE WE CAN.
THANK YOU.
[door opening]
I DIDN'T PLAN IT.
(Mark) WHEN I, UH, WALKED
INTO OPERATIONS' OFFICE,
I WANTED TO LIVE.
I JUST NEED TO KNOW ONE THING.
DID YOU LOVE ANGELA?
[crying] GOD, YES.
[door opens]
ANYTHING WRONG?
NO.
YES, THERE IS.
I THINK IT'S WRONG THAT MARK'S
DEAD AND CRACHEK'S ALIVE.
CRACHEK'S NOT ALIVE.
OPERATIONS SAID YOU
MIGHT FIND HIM USEFUL.
IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG TO REALIZE
WE COULDN'T WORK WITH HIM.
THE MAN WAS A COMPLETE MONSTER.
[woman speaking French]
YEAH, UH, UH, UH, JUST WANT
TO FINISH LOOKING AT THIS.
(Birkoff) IS THAT A GRUNEN 412?
YEAH, I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO
SEE ONE OF THESE THINGS UP CLOSE.
(Birkoff) I HEARD THE DETONATORS
ARE PITCH-AND-ROLL SENSITIVE.
[beeping]
(Birkoff) BETTER
GET IT TO DISPOSAL.
MAYBE YOU'RE RIGHT.
[grunting]
IT'S JAMMED.
STAY AWAY FROM ME!
(Walter) LOOK OUT!
I'VE GOT A BOMB!
OUT OF MY WAY! GET AWAY FROM ME!
ALL RIGHT, STAY BACK!
[explosive rumbling]
[sighing]
SO,
WHERE'D YOU LIKE TO HAVE LUNCH?
[woman speaking French]
(Operations) THIS IS THE WORK
OF A RECENTLY FORMED GROUP
CALLING ITSELF BLACK MARCH.
THEY FREELANCE FOR VARIOUS
TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS.
THEY APPEAR TO BE
MOTIVATED BY MONEY
AND THE SHEER JOY OF
CAUSING PAIN AND DESTRUCTION.
(Operations) THESE ARE THE
LEADERS OF BLACK MARCH:
SIMON CRACHEK, AND
HIS PARTNER CAROLINE.
SOME SOURCES SAY
THEY'RE BROTHER AND SISTER,
OTHERS, THAT THEY'RE LOVERS.
IN FACT, THEY'RE PROBABLY BOTH.
IN 24 HOURS, BLACK MARCH WILL BE
MEETING IN THE SUBURBS OF BUKHARA.
OUR JOB IS TO TERMINATE THEM.
YOU LEAVE IN ONE HOUR.
THESE NEW SIGHTS
READ A TRIFLE HIGH.
DON'T LET THEM THROW YOU.
OK. THANKS, WALTER. OK.
REAL LOVEBIRDS, HUH?
YOU THINK IT'S NOT REAL?
AH, IT'S REAL.
WHAT, SO YOU DON'T APPROVE?
I APPROVE.
IT'S JUST THAT IT'LL...
IT'LL END BADLY SOONER OR LATER.
IT ALWAYS DOES IN THIS PLACE.
THEY KNOW THAT.
(Nikita) MIRACLE IS THEY
MAKE IT WORK ANYWAY,
AND THEY MAKE IT SEEM SO SIMPLE.
GOOD LUCK, SUGAR, AND DON'T
FORGET ABOUT THOSE SIGHTS.
(Nikita) YEAH, I GOT IT.
GO.
I'VE GOT A CLEAR VISUAL.
ALL OPERATIVES, POINT
DELTA IN ONE MINUTE.
(Nikita) BIRKOFF, DO
YOU HAVE THE HOSTILE?
(Birkoff) GOT HIM.
YOU'RE CLEAR.
[clattering]
[gun firing]
[groans]
ANGELA!
[guns firing]
(Mark) I'M GOING TO GET HER.
(Nikita) MARK!
YOU CAN'T GO!
(Mark) YOU'RE FINE. I'M
GETTING YOU OUT OF HERE.
BIRKOFF, WE NEED TO EXTRACT.
[gun firing]
[Mark groaning]
[Nikita grunting]
[car tires screeching]
WHERE ARE THEY, BIRKOFF?
WE LOST THEM.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
(Birkoff) THEY WERE TAKEN
IN SOME KIND OF VEHICLE.
I'M DOWNLOADING
SATELLITE INTEL RIGHT NOW.
STANDARD PROTOCOL
DICTATES AN ABORT.
STANDARD PROTOCOL IS SUSPENDED.
FIND THEM.
NOW, WHICH ONE SHOULD
WE START WITH FIRST?
(Crachek) CAROLINE
WOULDN'T HESITATE.
SHE'D KNOW IMMEDIATELY.
BUT THEN, SHE'S AN ARTIST.
BY COMPARISON, I'M
SOMETHING OF A BUTCHER.
(Crachek) THIS ONE WILL DO.
NOW, YOUR EQUIPMENT AND TACTICS
SUGGEST A SECTION ONE. AM I RIGHT?
[moaning]
YOU HAVE A
SUBSTATION CALLED S-6.
IT'S BEEN VERY ACTIVE LATELY.
I'VE A NUMBER OF COLLEAGUES
WHO'D PAY VERY DEARLY
FOR ITS PRECISE LOCATION.
GIVE IT TO ME!
[groaning]
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
MY NAME IS CAROLINE.
[groaning]
[laughing]
(Caroline) WE'RE GOING TO
BECOME VERY WELL ACQUAINTED
IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS.
LET ME TELL YOU
HOW IT'S GOING TO BE.
YOU ARE GOING TO
BECOME MY CONFIDANTE,
MY SISTER,
MY LOVER.
[gasping]
YOU WILL TELL ME
EVERYTHING I WANT TO KNOW
AND MUCH THAT I
DON'T CARE ABOUT.
I WILL ASK AND YOU WILL LEAP.
THAT'S IT.
WHAT'S IT LIKE TO FEEL PAIN?
I'M INCAPABLE OF IT MYSELF.
IT COULD BE AN ADVANTAGE,
BUT IT COULD BE VERY LONELY.
DON'T YOU THINK IT'S
SAD THAT I'M SO LONELY?
[screaming] (Mark)
LEAVE HER ALONE.
(Mark) STOP!
[grunting]
[Angela moaning]
YOU'RE LOVERS.
(Crachek) WHEN YOU WORK
WITH BODIES AS MUCH AS I DO,
YOU LEARN TO WATCH EVERY MOVE,
EVERY TWITCH, AND
YOU TWO ARE LOVERS.
(Mark) NO, WE'RE NOT.
SO I CAN DO ANYTHING
I WANT WITH HER
AND IT WON'T BOTHER
YOU AT ALL, RIGHT?
[Angela groaning]
NO. (Mark) NO!
[Angela screaming]
DON'T! LET HER...
WHY NOT? YOU BARELY KNOW HER.
(Mark) ALL RIGHT, I'LL TELL YOU.
TELL ME WHAT?
ANYTHING. ANYTHING YOU WANT.
SUBSTATION 6?
YES.
CAROLINE, TIME'S UP.
[beeping]
I'VE GOT A VEHICLE TO THE
SOUTH ABOUT 12 MINUTES AGO.
HAS TO BE THEM.
(Birkoff) I'M SENDING
THE COORDINATES NOW.
HOW FAR?
15 MINUTES, MAYBE LESS.
MOVE.
WELL, WELL!
I CAN'T BELIEVE I BEAT YOU.
HER PAIN THRESHOLD IS VERY HIGH.
(Caroline) I'D HAVE BROKEN HER
EVENTUALLY, BUT, UH, YOU WIN,
THIS TIME.
OH, I JUST GOT LUCKY.
THEY'RE LOVERS.
AND, NOW, AS THEY SAY, TALK.
(Mark)
KILOMETERS,
DUE EAST,
[sighing]
11 FIELD OPERATIVES,
UPGRADED 6-OVER-7
SECURITY PACKAGE.
THANK YOU. THAT'S VERY HELPFUL.
[guns firing]
THEY TRACED US ALREADY.
I THOUGHT IT WOULD TAKE LONGER.
LET'S GO.
(Mark) NO! NO!
[grunting]
I'M SORRY.
[crying] NO.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
TO TELL OPERATIONS
WHAT HAPPENED.
YOU CAN'T.
I HAVE TO.
I GAVE UP A SUBSTATION.
[whispering] SHUT UP.
THEY'LL CANCEL YOU.
IF THE SUBSTATION'S HIT, THEY'LL
FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED
AND CANCEL ME ANYWAY.
LOOK, AT LEAST THIS
WAY, I SAVE LIVES.
ALL RIGHT. YOU CAN SAVE THE
SUBSTATION WITHOUT GIVING YOURSELF UP.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
I'LL TELL YOU LATER.
BUT RIGHT NOW, WE'VE GOT A
DEBRIEF IN ABOUT 5 MINUTES.
LISTEN TO ME. WE WERE CAPTURED.
WE WERE TORTURED.
WE WERE RESCUED.
THAT'S ALL THAT HAPPENED.
WE WERE CAPTURED.
WE WERE TORTURED.
WE WERE RESCUED. SAY IT.
WE WERE CAPTURED.
WE WERE TORTURED.
WE WERE RESCUED.
THAT'S ABOUT IT.
THE DETAILS ARE FUZZY.
(Madeline) DOES THAT
INCLUDE ANGELA'S DEATH?
I DIDN'T ACTUALLY SEE THAT.
WHY NOT?
(Mark) I WAS UNCONSCIOUS.
FROM TORTURE?
I WAS KNOCKED OUT
WHEN I WAS CAPTURED,
AND AFTER THAT I WAS IN AND OUT.
YOU AND ANGELA WERE CLOSE.
(Mark) YES.
(Madeline) I'M SORRY.
WE KNEW THE RISKS.
DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD?
NO. I WAS PRETTY MUCH
IN THE SAME CONDITION.
(Madeline) SO YOU DIDN'T
SEE ANGELA DIE, EITHER?
NO.
[sighing]
THAT'S ALL FOR NOW.
ONE MORE QUESTION.
(Madeline) WHY DO YOU
SUPPOSE THEY KILLED HER?
YOU WERE BOTH BARELY CONSCIOUS.
WHAT DID THEY GAIN BY IT?
MAYBE THEY WANTED
US TO SEE HER DEAD BODY
WHEN WE CAME AROUND.
AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT WOULD
HAPPEN TO US IF WE DIDN'T COOPERATE.
OUR INTEL INDICATES THEY'RE
USUALLY MORE DIRECT THAN THAT.
I GOT THE IMPRESSION THAT
THEY INFLICT PAIN AND DEATH
FOR THE SHEER FUN OF IT.
YOU CAN GO, BUT STAND BY.
THERE'S GOING TO BE
A FOLLOW-UP MISSION.
(Mark) SHE DIDN'T BUY IT.
PROBABLY NOT, BUT I DOUBT
SHE SUSPECTS THE TRUTH, EITHER.
NOT YET, ANYWAY.
WHY? HUH?
WHY DID HE KILL HER?
I CAN'T EXPLAIN THAT, MARK.
HE'S INSANE.
HE WANTED TO SEE THE
EXPRESSION ON MY FACE.
HE ACTUALLY SEEMED CURIOUS.
WE CAN'T THINK
ABOUT THAT RIGHT NOW.
WE JUST HAVE TO FACE THE FUTURE.
CRACHEK SAID THAT THERE
WAS MORE THAN ONE GROUP
INTERESTED IN BUYING THIS INTEL.
THAT MEANS IT'S GOING
TO TAKE TIME FOR A DEAL.
IF WE CAN GET TO HIM AND
CAROLINE BEFORE THIS GOES DOWN...
THE INTEL DIES WITH THEM.
EXACTLY.
HOW DO WE FIND THEM?
I'LL HANDLE IT.
MADELINE SAID THERE'S GOING
TO BE A FOLLOW-UP MISSION.
THAT CAN BE DELAYED. HOW?
I'LL HANDLE IT.
I WANT YOU TO REST
AND STAY CLOSE.
[sighs]
WALTER, I NEED YOU TO
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS TIMER.
WALTER?
(Walter) IT WAS MY FAULT.
(Michael) WHAT?
THE BLACK MARCH MISSION.
THE SIGHTS READ HIGH.
I WARNED THE TEAM, BUT I SHOULD
HAVE MADE THE ADJUSTMENT.
WHY DIDN'T YOU?
WASN'T TIME,
BUT I SHOULD HAVE MADE TIME.
A LOT OF THINGS WENT
WRONG ON THAT MISSION.
THE SIGHTS HAD
NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.
YOU DON'T KNOW THAT.
ROUNDS FLYING,
SPLIT-SECOND DECISIONS,
THE SMALLEST GLITCH
CAN RUIN EVERYTHING.
WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME?
FIRST, I ALMOST
BLOW EVERYBODY UP.
AND NOW THIS.
I NEED THIS TIMER CALIBRATED.
YEAH, JUST, UH, JUST LEAVE
IT RIGHT THERE, MICHAEL.
I'LL... I'LL GET TO IT.
[sighs]
HEY.
WHAT'S THE STATUS ON
THE FOLLOW-UP MISSION?
I'VE GOT A PROBABLE LOCATION.
I'M JUST WAITING TO CONFIRM.
ANYWHERE NEAR KIEV?
NO.
(Birkoff) BUCHAREST.
WHY?
WHILE I WAS BEING HELD,
I SEEMED TO REMEMBER
CRACHEK SAYING TO CAROLINE
SOMETHING ABOUT A MEETING IN KIEV.
WHY DIDN'T YOU MENTION
THIS AT THE DEBRIEF?
IT JUST CAME BACK
TO ME. I DON'T KNOW.
I KEEP REMEMBERING
THINGS IN BITS AND PIECES.
I'LL CHECK IT OUT.
IT MIGHT DELAY
THINGS FOR A WHILE.
WELL, IF YOU THINK
IT'S WORTH IT THEN.
YEAH.
WALTER?
YEAH, SUGAR.
I NEED A BERETTA
92F AND A BABY GLOCK.
I GUESS I OWE YOU THAT MUCH.
(Nikita) OWE ME?
THE MISSION WENT SOUTH BECAUSE
OF THE SIGHTS. PARTLY, AT LEAST.
ARE YOU IN SOME KIND OF TROUBLE?
YEAH.
WELL, BE COOL.
(Nikita) YEAH, THANKS.
YOU WANTED TO SEE ME?
YEAH. I NEED A FAVOR, MICK.
YOU KNOW ABOUT BLACK MARCH?
[sighing]
NEW PLAYERS, LOTS
OF SPLINTER GROUPS.
OUT OF CONTROL. GOOD
LOT TO STAY CLEAR OF
AND, UH, I PLAN TO
STAY CLEAR OF THEM.
IT'S LED BY 2 PSYCHOTICS
NAMED CRACHEK AND CAROLINE.
I MEAN, YOU'VE GOT
THE CONNECTIONS, MICK.
I NEED TO KNOW WHERE THEY ARE.
[sighs] DO YOU?
YEAH. AND QUICKLY.
AND WHAT IS IN IT FOR ME?
I WON'T BREAK EVERY
BONE IN YOUR BODY.
(Mick) I NEVER COULD
RESIST A WOMAN IN DISTRESS.
IT'S MY ONE WEAKNESS, REALLY.
QUICKLY.

[screaming]
[gun firing]
[people screaming]
[car tires screeching]
[car horn honking]
WE'VE STILL GOT A
COUPLE MORE HOURS.
I'M GOING TO CALL
MICK, SEE IF HE CAN TRY...
EVEN IF WE FOUND CRACHEK AGAIN,
WE COULDN'T MAKE
ANOTHER HIT IN TIME.
I BLEW IT. IT'S THAT SIMPLE.
YEAH, BUT...
I HAVE TO TELL OPERATIONS
THE SUBSTATION'S VULNERABLE.
DO YOU WANT ME TO GO WITH YOU?
NO, NO, I'LL GO ALONE.
THANKS. FOR EVERYTHING.
SORRY.
YEAH.
WHAT IS IT?
I NEED TO TALK TO YOU.
IT'LL HAVE TO WAIT. I'M BUSY.
A SUBSTATION'S BEEN COMPROMISED.
WHICH ONE?
(Mark) S-6.
DEGREE? LOCATION,
SECURITY, EVERYTHING.
IT HAPPENED DURING
THE BLACK MARCH MISSION.
WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE?
NIKITA.
(Operations) YOU SHOULD
HAVE COME FORWARD AT ONCE.
NIKITA BEGGED ME TO WAIT.
(Mark) SHE HAD A PLAN
TO SET THINGS RIGHT,
BUT IT DIDN'T WORK OUT.
NOW IT'S A QUESTION OF SAVING
THE SUBSTATION, SO HERE I AM.
(Mark) SHE WAS ONLY
TRYING TO HELP ANGELA.
IF YOU CAN TAKE
THAT INTO ACCOUNT...
YOU'D DO BETTER TO
WORRY ABOUT YOURSELF.
YOU'LL BE SANCTIONED FOR
NOT INFORMING ME EARLIER.
I UNDERSTAND.
BRING NIKITA TO ABEYANCE.
YOU HAVE TO GO WITH US.
WHY?
YOU'RE IN DETENTION.
HE WAS TRYING TO KEEP ANGELA
FROM SUFFERING AT THE
HANDS OF THAT BUTCHER.
I DON'T BLAME HIM.
(Nikita) SO HE GAVE
UP THE SUBSTATION.
MARK SAYS YOU DID.
HE'S LYING TO PROTECT HIMSELF.
(Madeline) AT THE DEBRIEFING YOU
SAID THAT NEITHER ONE OF YOU BROKE.
(Nikita) THAT'S RIGHT.
YOU LIED.
YES, I DID.
(Madeline) THEN WHY
SHOULD I BELIEVE YOU NOW?
BECAUSE I WAS
TRYING TO PROTECT HIM.
WHY?
BECAUSE I'D JUST SEEN
HIM GO THROUGH HELL
AND I WANTED TO
MAKE THINGS RIGHT.
OUT OF THE GOODNESS
OF YOUR HEART?
(Nikita) OUT OF A THING
CALLED FRIENDSHIP.
YOU SHOULD LOOK IT UP.
(Madeline) CONGRATULATIONS.
YOU PASSED WITH FLYING COLORS.
SO WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?
SO DID MARK.
THEN HE'S FOUND SOME
WAY TO BEAT THE MACHINE.
OR YOU HAVE.
IF YOU'RE AS GOOD AT READING
PEOPLE AS YOU SAY YOU ARE,
THEN YOU SHOULD BE ABLE
TO TELL THAT I'M INNOCENT
BY LOOKING IN MY EYES.
EXACTLY WHAT MARK SAID.
SHE SAID SHE HEARD
THEM MENTION KIEV.
I HAD TO DELAY THE
MISSION TO CHECK IT OUT.
(Operations) AND?
IT WAS FALSE. NOT EVEN CLOSE.
(Operations) DO YOU THINK
SHE DELIBERATELY MISLED YOU?
WELL,
SHE WAS DAZED, IN PAIN.
WHO KNOWS WHAT...
BIRKOFF,
DO YOU THINK SHE
DELIBERATELY MISLED YOU?
I DON'T HAVE AN OPINION ON THAT.
[machine beeps]
YES, I THINK SHE DID.
(Operations) THE GUNS USED
IN THE UNAUTHORIZED MISSION
HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED.
THEY CAME FROM YOUR ARSENAL.
MINE IS THE ONLY
ARSENAL IN SECTION.
HOW DID NIKITA GET THEM?
(Walter) I CAN'T KEEP
MY EYE ON EVERYTHING
EVERY SECOND OF THE DAY.
ANYBODY COULD HAVE TAKEN THEM.
HOW DO WE KNOW
THAT IT WAS NIKITA?
HER PRINTS WERE
FOUND ON THE GUNS.
SO WERE YOURS.
I HANDLE ALL THE WEAPONS.
(Operations) THE
PRINTS OVERLAPPED.
ANALYSIS INDICATES THEY
WERE HANDLED SIMULTANEOUSLY.
LABS MAKE MISTAKES.
(Operations) DID YOU
GIVE THEM TO HER?
WHAT KIND OF GUNS
WERE THOSE AGAIN?
DID YOU GIVE THE GUNS TO NIKITA?
[machine beeping] NO.
MACHINES AREN'T PERFECT.
I'VE HAD THIS COLD LATELY...
YOU HANDED THE GUNS TO NIKITA.
DO YOU DENY IT?
YES. I DENY IT.
[machine beeping]
I DENY IT.
[machine beeping]
THE SUBSTATION'S BEEN SECURED.
WE'LL INCUR NO DAMAGE THERE.
GOOD. NOW IT'S ONLY A
MATTER OF INTERNAL SECURITY.
I TEND TO BELIEVE NIKITA.
BUT YOU HAVE DOUBTS.
HER FLAW IS COMPASSION.
ANGELA'S SUFFERING MAY HAVE
AFFECTED HER EVEN
MORE THAN IT DID MARK.
AND SHE PLANNED THE
UNAUTHORIZED MISSION.
THAT SUGGESTS SHE
HAD THE MOST AT STAKE.
UNLESS HER COMPASSION WAS
ALLOWING HER TO PROTECT MARK.
(Operations) YOU'RE
ARGUING AGAINST YOURSELF.
IT'S NOT AN EASY CALL.
WE'VE SPENT ENOUGH TIME ON IT.
I WANT CLOSURE BY THE MORNING.
I'D LIKE TO TALK TO
YOU ABOUT WALTER.
YES. HE BEHAVED STRANGELY
IN THE INTERROGATION.
HE PRACTICALLY ASKED
TO BE SANCTIONED.
HE BLAMES HIMSELF FOR
THE BLACK MARCH MISSION.
HE THINKS IT WAS PARTIALLY
AN EQUIPMENT FAILURE.
IS THERE ANY EVIDENCE
THAT HE'S RIGHT?
NOT REALLY.
THEN HE'LL HAVE
TO SNAP OUT OF IT.
YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP.
HOW?
BY GIVING HIM A PAT ON THE BACK.
A PAT ON THE BACK?
A FEW WORDS OF
PRAISE OR APPRECIATION.
ARE YOU SERIOUS?
WALTER'S OLDER THAN MOST.
WORKS ALONE, 18 HOURS A
DAY, HAS VERY FEW OUTLETS.
AN EXCEPTION TO
OUR USUAL APPROACH
MIGHT BE APPROPRIATE.
ALL RIGHT.
I'LL STOP BY AND
PAT HIM ON THE BACK.
SO WHO DO THEY BELIEVE?
THEY DON'T KNOW.
WELL, THANKS FOR COMING, BUT
I DON'T SEE HOW YOU CAN HELP.
THEY'VE LOCATED BLACK
MARCH. THEY'RE SENDING A TEAM.
I'LL HAVE CRACHEK
BROUGHT HERE ALIVE.
JUST TELL ME WHAT
YOU WANT HIM TO SAY.
I WANT HIM TO TELL THE TRUTH.
THAT MARK GAVE
UP THE SUBSTATION.
(Michael) FINE.
(Nikita) YOU DON'T
BELIEVE ME, DO YOU?
(Michael) I DO BELIEVE YOU.
HOLD POSITIONS.
(Birkoff) WE GO
ACTIVE IN 3 MINUTES.
BIRKOFF.
I'M INSERTING A
MISSION PARAMETER.
THIS LATE?
(Michael) YES.
I WANT CRACHEK ALIVE.
THAT'S NOT CONSISTENT
WITH THE PROFILE.
THEN ALTER THE PROFILE.
DOES OPERATIONS KNOW ABOUT THIS?
JUST DO IT, BIRKOFF.
ALL UNITS, LISTEN UP.
WE HAVE A NEW PARAMETER.
WE NEED CRACHEK ALIVE.
(Birkoff) RESTATION ALPHA
TEAM 100 METERS TO THE NORTH.
(female agent) BIRKOFF, WE
CAN'T CHANGE THE PROFILE NOW.
IT'S TOO LATE.
WE'RE JUST GOING TO
HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT.
GOOD.
HELLO, WALTER. HOW'S EVERYTHING?
FINE.
I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW
HOW MUCH WE, MADELINE AND I,
APPRECIATE YOUR HARD WORK.
AND SO DOES OVERSIGHT.
WE'VE COMMENDED
YOU TO THEM MANY TIMES.
WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?
I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK
YOU FOR THE GOOD WORK.
(Walter) DON'T PATRONIZE ME.
ALL OF A SUDDEN OUT
OF THE CLEAR BLUE SKY,
YOU COME DOWN HERE AND SAY,
"THANKS FOR THE GOOD WORK"?
WHAT DO YOU WANT
ME TO DO, WAG MY TAIL?
IF YOU WANT SOMETHING FROM
ME, JUST COME OUT AND SAY IT.
LOOK, I JUST STOPPED BY TO GIVE...
TO GIVE YOU A PAT ON THE BACK.
I DON'T NEED A PAT ON THE BACK.
I'VE BEEN DOING THIS JOB SINCE
BEFORE YOU CAME TO SECTION,
AND I CAN PROBABLY
DO YOUR JOB, TOO.
REALLY?
(Walter) REALLY.
ONE OF THESE DAYS,
YOU'RE GOING TO CARRY
THIS CRANKY OLD MAN
ACT A LITTLE TOO FAR.
OH, WHAT THEN?
YOU WON'T COMMEND
ME TO OVERSIGHT?
WHY DID I BOTHER?
THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.
PAT ON THE BACK. BRILLIANT.
(Mark) BIRKOFF? HMM.
WHAT'S THIS ABOUT
CRACHEK BEING TAKEN ALIVE?
YEAH. THEY JUST BROUGHT
HIM INTO THE WHITE ROOM.
THE PROFILE CALLED
FOR ELIMINATION.
THE PROFILE GOT CHANGED.
WHOSE AUTHORITY?
MICHAEL'S.
OK, THANKS.
YOU'RE HERE TO TURN THE SCREWS.
IF ONLY YOU KNEW WHAT A COMPLETE
WASTE OF TIME THAT WAS FOR BOTH OF US.
YOU HELD 2 OPERATIVES.
ONE OF THEM TOLD YOU THE
LOCATION OF A SUBSTATION.
WHO WAS IT, THE
MAN OR THE WOMAN?
WHO WOULD YOU LIKE IT TO BE?
LET'S START WITH THE TRUTH.
YOU LOOK LIKE A MAN
WITH A VESTED INTEREST.
WHO WOULD YOU BE
TRYING TO PROTECT?
BET IT'S THE WOMAN.
SORRY. SHE WAS
THE ONE WHO BROKE.
YOU'RE LYING.
PROVE IT.
[groaning]
[buzzing]
[panting]
(Crachek) THANK YOU.
WELL?
WE'LL KNOW SOON.
WE'VE SPENT TOO MUCH
TIME ON THIS AS IT IS.
WE CAN'T SPEND ANY MORE.
LET ME TRY ONCE MORE.
DO YOU WANT TO LIVE?
NOT ESPECIALLY.
(Michael) WE COULD USE YOU.
(Crachek) FOR MY
EXPERTISE IN TORTURE?
YES.
I MIGHT BE INTERESTED IF I
THOUGHT I COULD TRUST YOU.
WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO LOSE?
HOW WILL THEY KNOW
I'M TELLING THE TRUTH?
GIVE THEM DETAILS.
TELL THEM EVERYTHING
THAT HAPPENED.
THEY'LL KNOW.
YOU REALLY WANT THE
WOMAN TO LIVE, DON'T YOU?
TOO BAD. SHE WAS
THE ONE WHO BROKE.
NO, WAIT. IT'S ALL
COMING BACK TO ME NOW.
(Crachek) IT WASN'T
THE WOMAN WHO BROKE.
IT WAS THE MAN. YEAH.
YOU WANT DETAILS?
(Crachek) THE, UH, OTHER WOMAN
WAS STRAPPED TO THE FENCE.
I TOOK A SCALPEL AND
BEGAN TO PEEL BACK HER FACE,
JUST ABOVE THE
LEFT EYE, I THINK.
SHE WAS IN SO MUCH AGONY,
SHE COULDN'T EVEN SCREAM.
JUST MADE THIS HORRIBLE
GURGLING SOUND.
THAT WAS WHEN HE
BEGGED ME TO STOP.
CONVINCING?
YES.
[laughing] SHAME IT'S TOO LATE.
(Operations) IT WORKED.
CONGRATULATIONS.
I SUPPOSE THIS
MEANS THE DEAL'S OFF.
NOT NECESSARILY.
TAKE HIM TO EVALUATION.
YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS.
WE HAVE TO UTILIZE
EVERY RESOURCE WE CAN.
THANK YOU.
[door opening]
I DIDN'T PLAN IT.
(Mark) WHEN I, UH, WALKED
INTO OPERATIONS' OFFICE,
I WANTED TO LIVE.
I JUST NEED TO KNOW ONE THING.
DID YOU LOVE ANGELA?
[crying] GOD, YES.
[door opens]
ANYTHING WRONG?
NO.
YES, THERE IS.
I THINK IT'S WRONG THAT MARK'S
DEAD AND CRACHEK'S ALIVE.
CRACHEK'S NOT ALIVE.
OPERATIONS SAID YOU
MIGHT FIND HIM USEFUL.
IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG TO REALIZE
WE COULDN'T WORK WITH HIM.
THE MAN WAS A COMPLETE MONSTER.
[woman speaking French]
