La Femme Nikita (1997–2001): Season 3, Episode 18 - Third Party Ripoff - full transcript
Believing that Michael and Nikita's relationship compromises Michael's decision-making ability and jeopardizes Section One's missions, Operations and Madeline set in motion another plan to separate the two operatives. A rift develops between Walter and Birkoff when they date the same woman, a beautiful mission profiler.
I THOUGHT THERE WAS A BRIEFING.
20 MINUTES.
I CALLED YOU IN EARLY
SO WE COULD TALK.
OH.
OK.
WE SHOULD STAY TOGETHER.
I DON'T THINK I
WANT THAT ANYMORE.
YOU DIDN'T LIKE THE WAY I ACTED
WHEN I HAD TO TAKE CHARGE.
YOU BECAME A DIFFERENT PERSON.
NO.
THE SAME PERSON.
JUST PLAYING A DIFFERENT ROLE.
SOMETHING WE ALL
HAVE TO DO IN HERE
TO SURVIVE.
IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW
YOU INTELLECTUALIZE IT.
I FEEL THE WAY I FEEL.
[woman speaking French]
NICE RESULT IN JAKARTA.
EXCEPT FOR "C" TEAM.
I DIDN'T READ THE APPENDIX.
WHAT HAPPENED?
THERE WAS AN
OUTBREAK IN THE AREA.
OUR PEOPLE WERE INFECTED?
WE DIDN'T TEST.
WE JUST ELIMINATED THE VARIABLE.
THE WHOLE TEAM.
YES.
THAT'S TOO BAD.
STILL,
BETTER TO LOSE THE
HAND AND SAVE THE BODY.
WE HAVE AN INTERNAL
MATTER TO DISCUSS.
WHAT'S THAT?
MICHAEL AND NIKITA.
WHAT NOW?
IT'S UNRESOLVED.
I THOUGHT SHE PULLED BACK.
SHE DID.
BUT I THINK MICHAEL
WILL PERSIST.
THESE TWO HAVE BEEN DANCING
AROUND THIS THING FROM DAY ONE.
MAYBE WE SHOULD
JUST LET IT GO FOR NOW.
ACTUALLY,
I WAS GOING TO
SUGGEST A HARD WEDGE.
YOU THINK THAT'S NECESSARY?
I DO.
WHAT MODE?
I'M MAPPING OUT A
BEHAVIORAL STRATEGY.
THINK IT'LL WORK?
WATCH AND SEE.
IT WOULD'VE VAPORIZED
IF THEY'D USED ALUMINUM OXIDE.
YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT.
SO YOU THINK GERMANY?
FOR THE PARTS, YEAH,
BUT IT COULD'VE BEEN
ASSEMBLED ANYWHERE.
WALTER?
HERE YOU GO. THANKS.
VALERIE.
[laughs]
IT'S AN IMPRESSIVE UNIT
BUT, UH, HOW DID YOU GET
5 SIGNIFICANT DIGITS OUT OF IT?
YEARS OF, UH, EXPERIENCE.
UH, YOU MUST BE SEYMOUR.
EVERYONE CALLS ME BIRKOFF.
I'M VALERIE.
I'VE BEEN SENT OVER
TO WORK WITH THE
PROFILE DIVISION.
GREAT.
I HAVEN'T MADE IT TO COMM. YET,
BUT, UH, PERHAPS WHEN I DO,
I HOPE YOU HAVE SOME
TIME TO SHOW ME AROUND.
SURE.
WELL,
I'LL SEE YOU BOTH LATER.
OK.
BYE.
WOW.
(Walter) OH, YEAH.
OLIVIER VELDEN IS
A MID-LEVEL PLAYER
IN BLACK-MARKET WEAPONS.
INSTEAD OF WORKING
WITH LARGER NETWORKS
LIKE HAMAS OR RED CELL,
HE'S BROUGHT HIS
BUSINESS TO START-UPS,
SATELLITE GROUPS
THAT ARE TOO SMALL
TO BE ON OUR RADAR.
THE ONLY DOCUMENTATION
THAT WE HAVE ON THESE GROUPS
IS IN VELDEN'S
CLIENT LIST ITSELF.
SO WE'RE AFTER THE LIST?
NO. WE WANT
VELDEN, BUT NOT DEAD.
WE WANT TO TURN HIM
AND SEND HIM BACK OUT.
WHAT ARE THE CHANCES
HE'LL BE RECEPTIVE?
OVER 70%.
WE HAVE ENOUGH BACKGROUND
TO BE CONFIDENT HE'S
A GOOD CANDIDATE.
YOUR PANELS ARE
BEING UPLOADED NOW.

WE'LL SEE WHAT YOU GOT.
OK, MICHAEL, YOU'RE
CLEAR TO MOVE UP.
[computer beeping]
[grunts]
WHO ARE YOU?
YOU TRANSFERRED SOME FUNDS
FROM OLIVIER VELDEN'S ACCOUNT.
I WANT THE ACCOUNT NUMBER.
LOOK, I DON'T KNOW
WHERE YOU'RE COMING FROM
AND I DON'T CARE.
YOU'RE ALREADY DEAD.
I'M PICKING IT UP.
IT'S IN THE ROOM. IT'S ON HIM.
DO WE NEED THIS GUY?
NO.

NIKITA, YOU GOT

CAN YOU BACK ME OUT?
I'VE GOT 20 MORE SECONDS HERE.
NO. YOU'LL HAVE TO
GO THROUGH THEM.
I'LL COVER YOU.
NO, MICHAEL. I NEED YOU AT
THE FRONT TO PREPARE EGRESS.
NIKITA CAN HANDLE HERSELF.
SEND NILES. I'M GETTING NIKITA.
MICHAEL, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
[woman screaming]
[grunts]
[people chattering]
(Nikita) OK,
BIRKOFF. GOT IT ALL?
YEAH. GET TO YOUR EXIT POINT.
YES?
(Madeline) SIT DOWN.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND
WHAT JUST HAPPENED
ON YOUR MISSION?
I HAVEN'T DEBRIEFED,
BUT IT WAS A
CONTAINED DISPERSION.
THERE WAS AN INCIDENT
AT THE SECOND MARK.
HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU THINK
MICHAEL CAN BREAK POSITION
BEFORE A TEAM GOES DOWN?
I DIDN'T ASK FOR HIS HELP.
WHY DON'T YOU TALK TO MICHAEL?
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD
OF ANYONE IN THE SECTION
TALK ABOUT A TYPE ONE DIRECTIVE?
NO.
IT'S AN INTERNAL DICTUM.
A DECISION.
ONCE IT'S BEEN MADE,
IT CAN'T BE CHANGED
AND IS ALWAYS EXECUTED.
ONE HAS BEEN INITIATED
REGARDING YOU AND MICHAEL.
YOU TWO WILL EXTRICATE
THE PERSONAL COMPONENT
FROM YOUR RELATIONSHIP.
IF YOUR SPIES HAD BEEN
DOING THEIR JOBS PROPERLY,
THEN YOU WOULD KNOW
THAT THE PERSONAL
COMPONENT OF OUR RELATIONSHIP
DOESN'T EXIST.
MICHAEL ISN'T LETTING GO.
YOU'LL HAVE TO MAKE HIM.
YOU'RE TALKING TO
THE WRONG PERSON.
I DON'T THINK SO.
THAT'LL BE ALL.
WHAT'S UP?
DID THEY TALK TO YOU?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
DID MADELINE SUGGEST
YOU STAY AWAY FROM ME?
SHE CALLED IT A
TYPE ONE DIRECTIVE.
AND HOW DID YOU RESPOND?
I DIDN'T.
THEY DON'T WANT
US TO BE TOGETHER.
NO, THEY DON'T.
WHAT ABOUT YOU?
[phone ringing]
[sighs]
YES?
ALL RIGHT.
WHAT TIME IS IT?
3:30.
OH.
WE HAVE TO GO IN.
IT SEEMS LIKE IT
TOOK YOU FOREVER.
IT WAS JUST 3 MINUTES.
IT WAS TOO LONG.
[moans]
NO MORE.
COME ON. NOT HERE.
WHY NOT? IT'S BEEN
ALMOST 6 HOURS.
IT'S JUST TOO
DANGEROUS, THAT'S ALL.
IT'S BAD ENOUGH I
BROUGHT YOU BACK HERE.
THAT'S WHAT MAKES
YOU SO EXCITING.
(Birkoff) HEY, WALTER?
YEAH, BIRKOFF?
WHERE'S MY P.D.A.?
OH... AHEM.
JUST HANG LOOSE.
I'LL BE RIGHT... RIGHT THERE.
SORRY. I FORGOT.
I WAS, UH, CHECKING
THE INVENTORY.
YOU DID THAT YESTERDAY.
I HAD TO DOUBLE-RUN
THE SCANNERS.
(Birkoff) COME ON. I WANT
TO LEAVE EARLY TONIGHT.
I'M IN A HURRY.
YOU GOT A HOT DATE?
ACTUALLY, YEAH, I DO.
WHO IS IT?
[whispering] IT'S VALERIE,
THE NEW PROFILER.
HUH?
ANYWAYS, I GOT TO GO. THANKS.
WE CAN'T DO THIS HERE.
WHAT'S WRONG?
NOTHING.
I JUST THOUGHT MAYBE WE
COULD DO SOMETHING ROMANTIC.
YOU KNOW, JUST YOU AND ME.
BUT I DON'T SEE
ANYONE ELSE HERE.
UH, NO, I... I... I
MEANT... I MEANT
MAYBE WE COULD
GO AND HAVE DINNER
TONIGHT.
TONIGHT?
MMM-HMM.
TONIGHT IS, UH, NOT SO GOOD.
YOU'RE NOT ON.
I MEAN, WHAT'S THE...
WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?
I'M BUSY.
LOOK, WALTER.
I AM NEVER GOING TO ASK
YOU FOR YOUR ITINERARY.
PLEASE DON'T ASK FOR MINE.
I'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW.
SURE.
THE FILES THAT WE EXTRACTED
FROM MILLS' OFFICE
WERE PRODUCTIVE.
WE FOUND 3 PRIMARY ACCOUNTS,
ONE OF WHICH VELDEN
MANAGES PERSONALLY.
THIS IS THE ROSAY
BANK IN ZURICH.
BASED ON THE
PATTERN OF DEPOSITS,
WE KNOW HE'LL SHOW
WITHIN 48 HOURS.
AN ADVANCED TEAM
IS ALREADY ON SITE.
IS THIS A GRAB?
NO. WE'RE GOING TO TAG HIM.
THAT'S ALL. FROM THERE, WE'LL
PLAN AN END-GAME STRATEGY.
WHY ARE YOU
RUNNING THE SCENARIO?
DIDN'T ANYONE TELL YOU?
WHAT?
THIS IS MY TEAM.
THEN WHY WAS I CALLED IN?
BECAUSE YOU'RE ON IT.
I THOUGHT YOU
KNEW, MICHAEL. SORRY.
ONCE HE'S TAGGED,
WE'LL PUT 2 TEAMS ON HIM.
WE'LL THREAD INTO HIS
NETWORK FROM THE FRONT
AND WHEN WE HAVE
A SECURE WINDOW,
WE'LL ISOLATE AND DETERMINE
WHETHER OR NOT HE
NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT IN.
WHAT'S HAPPENING?
THEY PUT DAVENPORT IN CHARGE.
IT'S STARTING.
I KNOW.
WHY?
THEY WANT TO TAKE ME DOWN.
(Birkoff) HEY, WALTER.
WHAT'S UP?
WHAT'S THE NAME
OF THAT RESTAURANT
YOU TOLD ME ABOUT?
BY THE RIVER? IT'S
REALLY ROMANTIC.
"CHEZ" SOMETHING,
"BISTRO" SOMETHING.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
SURE YOU DO. COME ON. I
NEED IT FOR THIS WEEKEND.
SOMETHING HAPPENING
THIS WEEKEND?
VALERIE.
THINGS ARE REALLY WORKIN' OUT.
I CAN'T BELIEVE
IT TOOK ME THIS LONG TO
DISCOVER OLDER WOMEN.
I MEAN, SHE...
WHEN THIS WEEKEND?
WHAT?
WHAT NIGHT?
SUNDAY.
NOT SATURDAY?
NO. SHE HAS PLANS.
DINNER WITH A GIRLFRIEND.
DINNER WITH A GIRLFRIEND.
THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID?
I THINK SO. W-W-WHAT'S
THE PROBLEM?
YOU'RE THE PROBLEM.
VALERIE'S GOING OUT WITH
ME ON SATURDAY NIGHT.
WHAT?
JUST LIKE LAST WEEKEND AND
THE WEEKEND BEFORE THAT.
WALTER, I DIDN'T KNOW THAT.
NO, OF COURSE NOT.
YOU'VE BEEN SO BUSY WITH
YOUR LITTLE TECHIE TOYS IN THERE,
YOU COULDN'T EVEN SEE
THAT THERE'S SOMETHING
BETWEEN ME AND HER, RIGHT
UNDERNEATH YOUR NOSE.
I...
YOU WHAT?
I'M SORRY.
YOU SHOULD FEEL
SORRY FOR YOURSELF
BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T GOT
THE CHOPS TO HANG ONTO HER.
I DO.
WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN?
LOOK, SAVE YOURSELF
THE LET-DOWN,
AND JUST TAKE IT
LIKE A GENTLEMAN.
OK?
OH, YOU THINK SHE'S
GOING TO DUMP ME FOR YOU?
LET ME LET YOU IN
ON A LITTLE SECRET.
OK.
YOU'RE NOT EVEN THERE
FOR THE DUMPING, SEYMOUR.
DID THE TARGET
TRANSFER EN ROUTE?
YES, HE DID.
WHAT ABOUT THEIR COMM.?
WE DOWNLOADED THE FILES.
I BROUGHT BACK A
SAMPLE FOR WALTER.
WELL DONE.
WELL, THERE WASN'T THAT
MUCH RESISTANCE, SIR.
THAT'S THE SIGN OF A
MISSION WELL PROFILED.
DO YOU WANT ME TO DEBRIEF?
THEY'VE ASKED FOR
SINGULARS THIS TIME.
I'M NOT SURE WHY.
YES OR NO?
YEAH, IF YOU DON'T MIND.
YOU OK?
YES.
IF THAT'S THE GAME THEY
WANT TO PLAY, I'LL PLAY IT.
WHAT ARE THEY
TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH?
TAKE AWAY MY AUTHORITY.
THEY THINK IT MEANS
SOMETHING TO ME.
AND IT DOESN'T?
NOT REALLY.
SO, WHAT DOES?
WHATEVER I DO, I
NEED TO DO IT WELL,
THE BEST I CAN.
THAT MEANS SOMETHING TO ME.
DON'T WORRY.
WHATEVER THEY WANT TO DO TO ME,
I CAN HANDLE IT.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
SINCE YOU'RE NOT
GOING TO BE PERFORMING
TACTICAL OVERSIGHT,
YOU WON'T BE NEEDING
THE SPACE ANYMORE.
WHERE WILL I BE?
ON 6 WITH EVERYONE ELSE.
THESE PRIMES ARE
ALL OUT OF RANGE.
WHAT WERE YOU DOING?
I WAS COMPILING.
COMPILING?
WHY DIDN'T YOU USE A HASH TABLE?
LOOK, DON'T TALK
DOWN TO ME, BIRKOFF.
I WAS SOURCING TRIGGERS
WHEN YOU WERE
STILL IN SHORT PANTS
AND THAT WASN'T VERY LONG AGO.
LONG ENOUGH FOR THE WORLD
TO CHANGE AND LEAVE YOU BEHIND.
JUST SOLVE THE PROBLEM, OK?
NEVER MIND WITH THE
FLAPPING OF THE LIPS.
IF YOU'D JUST COME TO
ME IN THE FIRST PLACE,
YOU WOULDN'T BE IN THIS MESS.
HI, GUYS.
HI.
HI.
[sighs]
CAN I HELP YOU WITH SOMETHING?
DO I NEED A REASON
TO JUST DROP BY AND SAY HELLO?
NO.
NO.
WELL, YOU TWO SEEM BUSY.
I'LL, UH, I'LL SEE YOU LATER.
OK.
TEAM ONE WILL DO ADVANCE.
TAKE OUT LIGHT SECURITY
AND PREP FOR INCOMING.
TEAMS 2 AND 3 WILL
IMPLEMENT THE PROFILE.
12-MINUTE CHECK.
EVERYONE IS DIVIDED INTO
PERIMETER AND BACKUP.
WE'RE OUT IN 10. LET'S GO.
MICHAEL.
I DIDN'T WANT TO SAY
THIS IN FRONT OF THE TEAM.
WHAT?
YOU'RE POSTED AT 9.
THAT'S BACKUP.
THAT'S WHERE THEY PROFILED YOU.
ANYONE GET HURT?
3 DOWN, 1 LOST.
HOW BAD WERE THE 3?
I DON'T KNOW. I
WASN'T CLOSE ENOUGH.
ARE YOU THINKING
THE OUTCOME WOULD
HAVE BEEN BETTER
HAD YOU BEEN TEAM LEAD?
NO.
DAVENPORT'S CAPABLE.
CAPABLE IS OK FOR SOME MISSIONS.
OTHERS, IT'S NOT.
I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT.
YOU'RE NOT THE SAME.
YOU SAID THIS WASN'T
GOING TO AFFECT YOU,
BUT IT HAS.
I'LL GET OVER IT.
MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T TRY TO.
MAYBE THE JOB MEANS MORE TO YOU.
COME IN.
YES?
I WANT IT TO STOP.
I ASSUME YOU'RE
SPEAKING OF MICHAEL?
YES.
THAT'S A STEP.
YOU'RE SEEING THINGS
FROM A DIFFERENT
PERSPECTIVE AND THAT'S GOOD.
YOU'VE CREATED A SITUATION
WHERE EVERYONE LOSES,
MADELINE.
HAVE I?
WELL, YOU'VE DETERMINED
THAT MY RELATIONSHIP
WITH MICHAEL'S AFFECTING
HIS PERFORMANCE.
BY HOW MUCH?
10%? 12%?
ACTUALLY, JUST UNDER 1.5%
WHICH IS UNACCEPTABLE.
AND FOR THAT YOU'RE WILLING TO
SACRIFICE HIM ALTOGETHER?
LOSE EVERYTHING?
AN OPERATIVE IN
MICHAEL'S POSITION
CAN CAUSE DAMAGE
IF HE'S OFF EVEN BY A FRACTION.
WHATEVER.
IT'S LIKE I SAID, HE'S
YOURS. YOU WIN.
IT HAS TO COME FROM HIM.
AND IT HAS TO BE
HIS IDEA, NOT YOURS.
OTHERWISE, HE'LL JUST
RESIST ON PRINCIPLE.
WHAT ARE YOU ASKING ME?
THAT HE STOPS LOVING YOU.
AND HOW DO I DO THAT?
YOU HAVE TO WANT IT TO HAPPEN.
VELDEN WILL BE MAKING HIS DEAL
WITH THE LIBYANS AT 3:00.
WE CAN'T TAKE HIM IN
FRONT OF WITNESSES.
OUR GOAL IS TO RELEASE
HIM AND SEND HIM BACK OUT.
WE'LL BE ABLE TO
SECURE THESE 4 AREAS.
EVERYONE ON THE
INSIDE WILL BE HOSTILE.
NO ONE BUT VELDEN AND
OUR PEOPLE WALK AWAY.
WE'LL HAVE 7 MINUTES MAX.
4 FOR THE PRIMARY TEAMS,
3 FOR HOUSEKEEPING.
ANY QUESTIONS?
ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO.
BIRKOFF.
ARE YOU DONE AFTER THIS MISSION?
YEAH. WHY?
I THOUGHT MAYBE WE
COULD GET TOGETHER.
YOU TOLD ME YOU HAD PLANS.
I HAVE A CONFESSION TO MAKE.
I WAS, SORT OF,
SEEING SOMEONE ELSE
FOR SOME TIME, BUT
IT MEANT NOTHING.
ANYONE I KNOW?
NO.
IT WAS A TOUCHY-FEELY GUY.
A LOSER.
YEAH, SURE.
WHAT?
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
WALTER'S NOT A LOSER
JUST 'CAUSE HE HAS FEELINGS.
AND IF YOU THINK HE
IS, I GUESS I'M ONE, TOO,
'CAUSE ONE DAY
I HOPE TO TURN OUT
HALF AS GOOD AS HIM.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
THAT'S MY COMM. UNIT.
NO, IT'S NOT.
YOU'RE 3RD TEAM NOW.
YOU SHOULDN'T EVEN BE
IN PREP UNTIL WE'RE DONE.
FORGET IT, MICHAEL.
YOU CAN USE MINE.
I WOULD LISTEN TO HER,
MICHAEL, YOU KNOW?
LISTEN TO HER. LISTEN TO ME.
PRETTY MUCH EVERYBODY.
WE'RE ALL ABOVE YOU NOW.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING, McDANIEL?
YOU KNOW, I'M JUST
GIVING A LITTLE BIT BACK.
FOR 5 YEARS
I'VE BEEN DOING HIS GRUNT WORK
AND NEVER ONCE DO I GET
A, "THANK YOU.
NICE JOB, McDANIEL."
THAT'S NOT TRUE.
NIKITA.
YOU'RE WRONG ON THIS ONE.
IT'S MINE.
HEY!
LET IT GO, MICHAEL.
MICHAEL COULD'VE
KILLED YOU, BUT HE DIDN'T.
I'M NOT AS PATIENT AS HE IS.
WAS McDANIEL YOUR IDEA?
YES.
MICHAEL WAS DEGENERATING,
BUT NOT FAST ENOUGH.
I DON'T EXPECT NIKITA'S
BEEN MUCH HELP.
I SPOKE WITH HER.
SHE WON'T BE PROACTIVE,
BUT MY INSTINCT IS
SHE WON'T INTERFERE.
DON'T WE NEED MORE THAN THAT?
MICHAEL'S SELF-ESTEEM
IS TIED INTO NIKITA'S
PERCEPTION OF HIM.
I'M SURE IT'S VERY
PAINFUL FOR HIM.
GOOD.
VELDEN'S CAR JUST ROLLED IN.
DO WE HAVE A VISUAL CONFIRMATION
ON VELDEN IN THE CAR?
WE HAVE VISUAL CONFIRMATION.
HE'S COMIN' TO YOU.
OK, BIRKOFF, WE'RE
READY DOWN HERE.
WHAT'S YOUR STATUS UPSTAIRS?
VELDEN SHOULD BE MOVING
TO THE RENDEZVOUS POINT NOW.
(Birkoff) WE HAVE TO WAIT
FOR A VISUAL ON THE LIBYANS.
DAVENPORT, HOLD.
VELDEN'S TEAM'S STILL
OUTSIDE YOUR PERIMETER.
HOW DO YOU KNOW?
LOOK AT THE PAY
PHONE BEHIND YOU.
(Michael) BIRKOFF TOOK
OUT THE LAND CHANNELS.
THAT GUY'S JUST POSTED.
THE LIBYANS ARE
MOVING TO RENDEZVOUS.
ALL RIGHT, START YOUR
CHECK. TEAM ONE, GO.
EXCUSE ME.
[cell phone ringing]
YES?
(man) THE TRAIN STATION.
ALL RIGHT, WE'RE DOWN
FOR THE MOMENT, BIRKOFF.
WE MAY HAVE BEEN MADE.
HE'S BACKTRACKING TO A
NEW POSITION TO MAKE SURE
THE LIBYANS DON'T HAVE A NET.
OK, CAN WE GO ONE LAYER OUT?
NOT WITHOUT COLLATERAL.
YOU'LL HIT INNOCENTS FOR SURE.
LET IT PLAY OUT, BIRKOFF.
LIBYANS ARE HEADING BACK
TO THE TRAIN STATION. NIKITA?
VELDEN'S TEAM'S CONVERGING.
THEY'VE SPLIT INTO
UPPER AND LOWER TEAMS.
(Michael) NIKITA, MOVE
TO 3RD POSITION.
THEY'RE HEADING INSIDE.
THEY MUST HAVE A CLEAN
ROOM IN THE GARAGE.
(Davenport) OK, ALL TEAMS ABORT.
NO. WE WON'T GET
A CONTROL WINDOW
LIKE THIS FOR MONTHS.
WE HAVE TO USE IT.
HOW?
TEAMS 1 AND 2 ROTATE.
I NEED A ROLL TO THE SOUTH.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING, MICHAEL?
WE'LL MAKE IT LOOK LIKE
A THIRD-PARTY RIP-OFF.
(Michael) I NEED 60 SECONDS
OF FIRE TIME IN A POCKET.
OK.
MAKE SURE ALL EXITS ARE BLOCKED.
WHAT ABOUT THE LIBYANS?
WE'LL KEEP 2 ALIVE.
DAVENPORT, WHAT IS
THE CHAIN OF COMMAND?
I'M GIVING IT TO MICHAEL.
WHERE DO YOU WANT ME, MICHAEL?
(Michael) BIRKOFF,
PUT IN THE NEW PROGRAM
AND START SEQUENCING.
[beeping]
[grunting]
[gun firing]
WHAT'S HE DOING?
THEY'RE BLEEDING OUR ACCOUNTS.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
WE ONLY HAVE A FEW SECONDS,
SO LISTEN TO ME CAREFULLY.
YOUR MONEY AND
YOUR CLIENTS' MONEY
IS NOW BEING STOLEN.
IN 24 HOURS,
YOU'LL BE CONTACTED
BY OUR PEOPLE.
IF YOU DON'T DO WHAT THEY SAY,
WE'LL MAKE IT LOOK LIKE
YOU MASTERMINDED THIS RIP-OFF.
THE LIBYANS WILL HUNT
YOU DOWN AND KILL YOU.
WHO ARE YOU? WHAT DO YOU WANT?
INFORMATION.
YOU WORK FOR US NOW.
HOW DO I GET OUT OF HERE?
[grunts]
YOU HAVE A CAR NEARBY?
YEAH.
PUT THE MONEY BACK.
THAT'S IT.
LET'S GO.
MICHAEL.
I COULDN'T DO WHAT
YOU DID OUT THERE TODAY.
I LEARNED A LOT.
THANK YOU.
SO, WHAT ARE YOU
GOING TO DO NOW?
LET'S GO HOME.
YOU CAN'T DENY TO YOURSELF
WHAT HAPPENED TODAY, MICHAEL.
YOU'RE A LEVEL-5 OPERATIVE.
THAT'S THE ONLY
WAY YOU CAN LIVE.
I DON'T WANT TO THINK
ABOUT IT RIGHT NOW.
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO
BECAUSE WHEN YOU LEAD MISSIONS,
WE SURVIVE.
WE WERE ONTO SOMETHING.
MAYBE THERE'S ANOTHER WAY.
THEY'RE NOT GOING
TO LET THIS PLAY ON
FOR MUCH LONGER.
THERE'S NO OTHER WAY.
IF WE END IT NOW,
WE CAN AT LEAST
PRESERVE OUR FRIENDSHIP.
YES, MICHAEL?
I WANT MY STATUS REINSTATED.
WHAT ABOUT YOU AND NIKITA?
IT'S OVER.
YOU KNOW IT WOULD BE POINTLESS
FOR YOU TO DECEIVE ME ON THIS.
I KNOW.
[computer beeping]
LEVEL-5 STATUS REINSTATED.
EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY.
WILL IT HOLD?
FOR NOW.
(Birkoff) WALTER?
WHAT?
I FORGOT TO RETURN THIS TO YOU.
OH, YEAH. YEAH, THANKS.
I THOUGHT YOU
HAD A DATE TONIGHT.
NO.
I DON'T THINK
IT'S GOING TO WORK
OUT WITH ME AND VALERIE.
THAT'S TOO BAD.
NO, NOT REALLY.
SHE'S NOT MY TYPE.
LOOK, BIRKOFF,
DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME, OK?
I MEAN, IF YOU WANT
TO SEE HER, SEE HER.
IT'S NO BIG THING.
I DON'T THINK SO.
I DON'T HAVE A LOT OF FRIENDS.
I DIDN'T LIKE THE WAY IT FELT
NOT BEING ABLE TO TALK TO YOU.
YOU CAN TALK TO ME
ANY TIME YOU WANT.
THANKS, WALTER.
[sighs]
WHERE WERE WE?
(Nikita) COME IN.
NO.
I JUST CAME BY TO
TELL YOU SOMETHING.
IT'S NOT OVER.
WE WILL BE TOGETHER.
[woman speaking French]
20 MINUTES.
I CALLED YOU IN EARLY
SO WE COULD TALK.
OH.
OK.
WE SHOULD STAY TOGETHER.
I DON'T THINK I
WANT THAT ANYMORE.
YOU DIDN'T LIKE THE WAY I ACTED
WHEN I HAD TO TAKE CHARGE.
YOU BECAME A DIFFERENT PERSON.
NO.
THE SAME PERSON.
JUST PLAYING A DIFFERENT ROLE.
SOMETHING WE ALL
HAVE TO DO IN HERE
TO SURVIVE.
IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW
YOU INTELLECTUALIZE IT.
I FEEL THE WAY I FEEL.
[woman speaking French]
NICE RESULT IN JAKARTA.
EXCEPT FOR "C" TEAM.
I DIDN'T READ THE APPENDIX.
WHAT HAPPENED?
THERE WAS AN
OUTBREAK IN THE AREA.
OUR PEOPLE WERE INFECTED?
WE DIDN'T TEST.
WE JUST ELIMINATED THE VARIABLE.
THE WHOLE TEAM.
YES.
THAT'S TOO BAD.
STILL,
BETTER TO LOSE THE
HAND AND SAVE THE BODY.
WE HAVE AN INTERNAL
MATTER TO DISCUSS.
WHAT'S THAT?
MICHAEL AND NIKITA.
WHAT NOW?
IT'S UNRESOLVED.
I THOUGHT SHE PULLED BACK.
SHE DID.
BUT I THINK MICHAEL
WILL PERSIST.
THESE TWO HAVE BEEN DANCING
AROUND THIS THING FROM DAY ONE.
MAYBE WE SHOULD
JUST LET IT GO FOR NOW.
ACTUALLY,
I WAS GOING TO
SUGGEST A HARD WEDGE.
YOU THINK THAT'S NECESSARY?
I DO.
WHAT MODE?
I'M MAPPING OUT A
BEHAVIORAL STRATEGY.
THINK IT'LL WORK?
WATCH AND SEE.
IT WOULD'VE VAPORIZED
IF THEY'D USED ALUMINUM OXIDE.
YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT.
SO YOU THINK GERMANY?
FOR THE PARTS, YEAH,
BUT IT COULD'VE BEEN
ASSEMBLED ANYWHERE.
WALTER?
HERE YOU GO. THANKS.
VALERIE.
[laughs]
IT'S AN IMPRESSIVE UNIT
BUT, UH, HOW DID YOU GET
5 SIGNIFICANT DIGITS OUT OF IT?
YEARS OF, UH, EXPERIENCE.
UH, YOU MUST BE SEYMOUR.
EVERYONE CALLS ME BIRKOFF.
I'M VALERIE.
I'VE BEEN SENT OVER
TO WORK WITH THE
PROFILE DIVISION.
GREAT.
I HAVEN'T MADE IT TO COMM. YET,
BUT, UH, PERHAPS WHEN I DO,
I HOPE YOU HAVE SOME
TIME TO SHOW ME AROUND.
SURE.
WELL,
I'LL SEE YOU BOTH LATER.
OK.
BYE.
WOW.
(Walter) OH, YEAH.
OLIVIER VELDEN IS

INSTEAD OF WORKING
WITH LARGER NETWORKS
LIKE HAMAS OR RED CELL,
HE'S BROUGHT HIS
BUSINESS TO START-UPS,
SATELLITE GROUPS
THAT ARE TOO SMALL
TO BE ON OUR RADAR.
THE ONLY DOCUMENTATION
THAT WE HAVE ON THESE GROUPS
IS IN VELDEN'S
CLIENT LIST ITSELF.
SO WE'RE AFTER THE LIST?
NO. WE WANT
VELDEN, BUT NOT DEAD.
WE WANT TO TURN HIM

YOU'LL TOUCH ME ♪♪
NIKITA, YOU GOT
INCOMING HOSTILES.
CAN YOU BACK ME OUT?
I'VE GOT 20 MORE SECONDS HERE.
NO. YOU'LL HAVE TO
GO THROUGH THEM.
I'LL COVER YOU.
NO, MICHAEL. I NEED YOU AT
THE FRONT TO PREPARE EGRESS.
NIKITA CAN HANDLE HERSELF.
SEND NILES. I'M GETTING NIKITA.
MICHAEL, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
[woman screaming]
[grunts]
[people chattering]
(Nikita) OK,
BIRKOFF. GOT IT ALL?
YEAH. GET TO YOUR EXIT POINT.
YES?
(Madeline) SIT DOWN.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND
WHAT JUST HAPPENED
ON YOUR MISSION?
I HAVEN'T DEBRIEFED,
BUT IT WAS A
CONTAINED DISPERSION.
THERE WAS AN INCIDENT
AT THE SECOND MARK.
HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU THINK
MICHAEL CAN BREAK POSITION
BEFORE A TEAM GOES DOWN?
I DIDN'T ASK FOR HIS HELP.
WHY DON'T YOU TALK TO MICHAEL?
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD
OF ANYONE IN THE SECTION
TALK ABOUT A TYPE ONE DIRECTIVE?
NO.
IT'S AN INTERNAL DICTUM.
A DECISION.
ONCE IT'S BEEN MADE,
IT CAN'T BE CHANGED
AND IS ALWAYS EXECUTED.
ONE HAS BEEN INITIATED
REGARDING YOU AND MICHAEL.
YOU TWO WILL EXTRICATE
THE PERSONAL COMPONENT
FROM YOUR RELATIONSHIP.
IF YOUR SPIES HAD BEEN
DOING THEIR JOBS PROPERLY,
THEN YOU WOULD KNOW
THAT THE PERSONAL
COMPONENT OF OUR RELATIONSHIP
DOESN'T EXIST.
MICHAEL ISN'T LETTING GO.
YOU'LL HAVE TO MAKE HIM.
YOU'RE TALKING TO
THE WRONG PERSON.
I DON'T THINK SO.
THAT'LL BE ALL.
WHAT'S UP?
DID THEY TALK TO YOU?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
DID MADELINE SUGGEST
YOU STAY AWAY FROM ME?
SHE CALLED IT A
TYPE ONE DIRECTIVE.
AND HOW DID YOU RESPOND?
I DIDN'T.
THEY DON'T WANT
US TO BE TOGETHER.
NO, THEY DON'T.
WHAT ABOUT YOU?
[phone ringing]
[sighs]
YES?
ALL RIGHT.
WHAT TIME IS IT?
3:30.
OH.
WE HAVE TO GO IN.
IT SEEMS LIKE IT
TOOK YOU FOREVER.
IT WAS JUST 3 MINUTES.
IT WAS TOO LONG.
[moans]
NO MORE.
COME ON. NOT HERE.
WHY NOT? IT'S BEEN
ALMOST 6 HOURS.
IT'S JUST TOO
DANGEROUS, THAT'S ALL.
IT'S BAD ENOUGH I
BROUGHT YOU BACK HERE.
THAT'S WHAT MAKES
YOU SO EXCITING.
(Birkoff) HEY, WALTER?
YEAH, BIRKOFF?
WHERE'S MY P.D.A.?
OH... AHEM.
JUST HANG LOOSE.
I'LL BE RIGHT... RIGHT THERE.
SORRY. I FORGOT.
I WAS, UH, CHECKING
THE INVENTORY.
YOU DID THAT YESTERDAY.
I HAD TO DOUBLE-RUN
THE SCANNERS.
(Birkoff) COME ON. I WANT
TO LEAVE EARLY TONIGHT.
I'M IN A HURRY.
YOU GOT A HOT DATE?
ACTUALLY, YEAH, I DO.
WHO IS IT?
[whispering] IT'S VALERIE,
THE NEW PROFILER.
HUH?
ANYWAYS, I GOT TO GO. THANKS.
WE CAN'T DO THIS HERE.
WHAT'S WRONG?
NOTHING.
I JUST THOUGHT MAYBE WE
COULD DO SOMETHING ROMANTIC.
YOU KNOW, JUST YOU AND ME.
BUT I DON'T SEE
ANYONE ELSE HERE.
UH, NO, I... I... I
MEANT... I MEANT
MAYBE WE COULD
GO AND HAVE DINNER
TONIGHT.
TONIGHT?
MMM-HMM.
TONIGHT IS, UH, NOT SO GOOD.
YOU'RE NOT ON.
I MEAN, WHAT'S THE...
WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?
I'M BUSY.
LOOK, WALTER.
I AM NEVER GOING TO ASK
YOU FOR YOUR ITINERARY.
PLEASE DON'T ASK FOR MINE.
I'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW.
SURE.
THE FILES THAT WE EXTRACTED
FROM MILLS' OFFICE
WERE PRODUCTIVE.
WE FOUND 3 PRIMARY ACCOUNTS,
ONE OF WHICH VELDEN
MANAGES PERSONALLY.
THIS IS THE ROSAY
BANK IN ZURICH.
BASED ON THE
PATTERN OF DEPOSITS,
WE KNOW HE'LL SHOW
WITHIN 48 HOURS.
AN ADVANCED TEAM
IS ALREADY ON SITE.
IS THIS A GRAB?
NO. WE'RE GOING TO TAG HIM.
THAT'S ALL. FROM THERE, WE'LL
PLAN AN END-GAME STRATEGY.
WHY ARE YOU
RUNNING THE SCENARIO?
DIDN'T ANYONE TELL YOU?
WHAT?
THIS IS MY TEAM.
THEN WHY WAS I CALLED IN?
BECAUSE YOU'RE ON IT.
I THOUGHT YOU
KNEW, MICHAEL. SORRY.
ONCE HE'S TAGGED,
WE'LL PUT 2 TEAMS ON HIM.
WE'LL THREAD INTO HIS
NETWORK FROM THE FRONT
AND WHEN WE HAVE
A SECURE WINDOW,
WE'LL ISOLATE AND DETERMINE
WHETHER OR NOT HE
NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT IN.
WHAT'S HAPPENING?
THEY PUT DAVENPORT IN CHARGE.
IT'S STARTING.
I KNOW.
WHY?
THEY WANT TO TAKE ME DOWN.
(Birkoff) HEY, WALTER.
WHAT'S UP?
WHAT'S THE NAME
OF THAT RESTAURANT
YOU TOLD ME ABOUT?
BY THE RIVER? IT'S
REALLY ROMANTIC.
"CHEZ" SOMETHING,
"BISTRO" SOMETHING.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
SURE YOU DO. COME ON. I
NEED IT FOR THIS WEEKEND.
SOMETHING HAPPENING
THIS WEEKEND?
VALERIE.
THINGS ARE REALLY WORKIN' OUT.
I CAN'T BELIEVE
IT TOOK ME THIS LONG TO
DISCOVER OLDER WOMEN.
I MEAN, SHE...
WHEN THIS WEEKEND?
WHAT?
WHAT NIGHT?
SUNDAY.
NOT SATURDAY?
NO. SHE HAS PLANS.
DINNER WITH A GIRLFRIEND.
DINNER WITH A GIRLFRIEND.
THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID?
I THINK SO. W-W-WHAT'S
THE PROBLEM?
YOU'RE THE PROBLEM.
VALERIE'S GOING OUT WITH
ME ON SATURDAY NIGHT.
WHAT?
JUST LIKE LAST WEEKEND AND
THE WEEKEND BEFORE THAT.
WALTER, I DIDN'T KNOW THAT.
NO, OF COURSE NOT.
YOU'VE BEEN SO BUSY WITH
YOUR LITTLE TECHIE TOYS IN THERE,
YOU COULDN'T EVEN SEE
THAT THERE'S SOMETHING
BETWEEN ME AND HER, RIGHT
UNDERNEATH YOUR NOSE.
I...
YOU WHAT?
I'M SORRY.
YOU SHOULD FEEL
SORRY FOR YOURSELF
BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T GOT
THE CHOPS TO HANG ONTO HER.
I DO.
WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN?
LOOK, SAVE YOURSELF
THE LET-DOWN,
AND JUST TAKE IT
LIKE A GENTLEMAN.
OK?
OH, YOU THINK SHE'S
GOING TO DUMP ME FOR YOU?
LET ME LET YOU IN
ON A LITTLE SECRET.
OK.
YOU'RE NOT EVEN THERE
FOR THE DUMPING, SEYMOUR.
DID THE TARGET
TRANSFER EN ROUTE?
YES, HE DID.
WHAT ABOUT THEIR COMM.?
WE DOWNLOADED THE FILES.
I BROUGHT BACK A
SAMPLE FOR WALTER.
WELL DONE.
WELL, THERE WASN'T THAT
MUCH RESISTANCE, SIR.
THAT'S THE SIGN OF A
MISSION WELL PROFILED.
DO YOU WANT ME TO DEBRIEF?
THEY'VE ASKED FOR
SINGULARS THIS TIME.
I'M NOT SURE WHY.
YES OR NO?
YEAH, IF YOU DON'T MIND.
YOU OK?
YES.
IF THAT'S THE GAME THEY
WANT TO PLAY, I'LL PLAY IT.
WHAT ARE THEY
TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH?
TAKE AWAY MY AUTHORITY.
THEY THINK IT MEANS
SOMETHING TO ME.
AND IT DOESN'T?
NOT REALLY.
SO, WHAT DOES?
WHATEVER I DO, I
NEED TO DO IT WELL,
THE BEST I CAN.
THAT MEANS SOMETHING TO ME.
DON'T WORRY.
WHATEVER THEY WANT TO DO TO ME,
I CAN HANDLE IT.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
SINCE YOU'RE NOT
GOING TO BE PERFORMING
TACTICAL OVERSIGHT,
YOU WON'T BE NEEDING
THE SPACE ANYMORE.
WHERE WILL I BE?
ON 6 WITH EVERYONE ELSE.
THESE PRIMES ARE
ALL OUT OF RANGE.
WHAT WERE YOU DOING?
I WAS COMPILING.
COMPILING?
WHY DIDN'T YOU USE A HASH TABLE?
LOOK, DON'T TALK
DOWN TO ME, BIRKOFF.
I WAS SOURCING TRIGGERS
WHEN YOU WERE
STILL IN SHORT PANTS
AND THAT WASN'T VERY LONG AGO.
LONG ENOUGH FOR THE WORLD
TO CHANGE AND LEAVE YOU BEHIND.
JUST SOLVE THE PROBLEM, OK?
NEVER MIND WITH THE
FLAPPING OF THE LIPS.
IF YOU'D JUST COME TO
ME IN THE FIRST PLACE,
YOU WOULDN'T BE IN THIS MESS.
HI, GUYS.
HI.
HI.
[sighs]
CAN I HELP YOU WITH SOMETHING?
DO I NEED A REASON
TO JUST DROP BY AND SAY HELLO?
NO.
NO.
WELL, YOU TWO SEEM BUSY.
I'LL, UH, I'LL SEE YOU LATER.
OK.
TEAM ONE WILL DO ADVANCE.
TAKE OUT LIGHT SECURITY
AND PREP FOR INCOMING.
TEAMS 2 AND 3 WILL
IMPLEMENT THE PROFILE.
12-MINUTE CHECK.
EVERYONE IS DIVIDED INTO
PERIMETER AND BACKUP.
WE'RE OUT IN 10. LET'S GO.
MICHAEL.
I DIDN'T WANT TO SAY
THIS IN FRONT OF THE TEAM.
WHAT?
YOU'RE POSTED AT 9.
THAT'S BACKUP.
THAT'S WHERE THEY PROFILED YOU.
ANYONE GET HURT?
3 DOWN, 1 LOST.
HOW BAD WERE THE 3?
I DON'T KNOW. I
WASN'T CLOSE ENOUGH.
ARE YOU THINKING
THE OUTCOME WOULD
HAVE BEEN BETTER
HAD YOU BEEN TEAM LEAD?
NO.
DAVENPORT'S CAPABLE.
CAPABLE IS OK FOR SOME MISSIONS.
OTHERS, IT'S NOT.
I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT.
YOU'RE NOT THE SAME.
YOU SAID THIS WASN'T
GOING TO AFFECT YOU,
BUT IT HAS.
I'LL GET OVER IT.
MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T TRY TO.
MAYBE THE JOB MEANS MORE TO YOU.
COME IN.
YES?
I WANT IT TO STOP.
I ASSUME YOU'RE
SPEAKING OF MICHAEL?
YES.
THAT'S A STEP.
YOU'RE SEEING THINGS
FROM A DIFFERENT
PERSPECTIVE AND THAT'S GOOD.
YOU'VE CREATED A SITUATION
WHERE EVERYONE LOSES,
MADELINE.
HAVE I?
WELL, YOU'VE DETERMINED
THAT MY RELATIONSHIP
WITH MICHAEL'S AFFECTING
HIS PERFORMANCE.
BY HOW MUCH?
10%? 12%?
ACTUALLY, JUST UNDER 1.5%
WHICH IS UNACCEPTABLE.
AND FOR THAT YOU'RE WILLING TO
SACRIFICE HIM ALTOGETHER?
LOSE EVERYTHING?
AN OPERATIVE IN
MICHAEL'S POSITION
CAN CAUSE DAMAGE
IF HE'S OFF EVEN BY A FRACTION.
WHATEVER.
IT'S LIKE I SAID, HE'S
YOURS. YOU WIN.
IT HAS TO COME FROM HIM.
AND IT HAS TO BE
HIS IDEA, NOT YOURS.
OTHERWISE, HE'LL JUST
RESIST ON PRINCIPLE.
WHAT ARE YOU ASKING ME?
THAT HE STOPS LOVING YOU.
AND HOW DO I DO THAT?
YOU HAVE TO WANT IT TO HAPPEN.
VELDEN WILL BE MAKING HIS DEAL
WITH THE LIBYANS AT 3:00.
WE CAN'T TAKE HIM IN
FRONT OF WITNESSES.
OUR GOAL IS TO RELEASE
HIM AND SEND HIM BACK OUT.
WE'LL BE ABLE TO
SECURE THESE 4 AREAS.
EVERYONE ON THE
INSIDE WILL BE HOSTILE.
NO ONE BUT VELDEN AND
OUR PEOPLE WALK AWAY.
WE'LL HAVE 7 MINUTES MAX.
4 FOR THE PRIMARY TEAMS,
3 FOR HOUSEKEEPING.
ANY QUESTIONS?
ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO.
BIRKOFF.
ARE YOU DONE AFTER THIS MISSION?
YEAH. WHY?
I THOUGHT MAYBE WE
COULD GET TOGETHER.
YOU TOLD ME YOU HAD PLANS.
I HAVE A CONFESSION TO MAKE.
I WAS, SORT OF,
SEEING SOMEONE ELSE
FOR SOME TIME, BUT
IT MEANT NOTHING.
ANYONE I KNOW?
NO.
IT WAS A TOUCHY-FEELY GUY.
A LOSER.
YEAH, SURE.
WHAT?
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
WALTER'S NOT A LOSER
JUST 'CAUSE HE HAS FEELINGS.
AND IF YOU THINK HE
IS, I GUESS I'M ONE, TOO,
'CAUSE ONE DAY
I HOPE TO TURN OUT
HALF AS GOOD AS HIM.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
THAT'S MY COMM. UNIT.
NO, IT'S NOT.
YOU'RE 3RD TEAM NOW.
YOU SHOULDN'T EVEN BE
IN PREP UNTIL WE'RE DONE.
FORGET IT, MICHAEL.
YOU CAN USE MINE.
I WOULD LISTEN TO HER,
MICHAEL, YOU KNOW?
LISTEN TO HER. LISTEN TO ME.
PRETTY MUCH EVERYBODY.
WE'RE ALL ABOVE YOU NOW.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING, McDANIEL?
YOU KNOW, I'M JUST
GIVING A LITTLE BIT BACK.
FOR 5 YEARS
I'VE BEEN DOING HIS GRUNT WORK
AND NEVER ONCE DO I GET
A, "THANK YOU.
NICE JOB, McDANIEL."
THAT'S NOT TRUE.
NIKITA.
YOU'RE WRONG ON THIS ONE.
IT'S MINE.
HEY!
LET IT GO, MICHAEL.
MICHAEL COULD'VE
KILLED YOU, BUT HE DIDN'T.
I'M NOT AS PATIENT AS HE IS.
WAS McDANIEL YOUR IDEA?
YES.
MICHAEL WAS DEGENERATING,
BUT NOT FAST ENOUGH.
I DON'T EXPECT NIKITA'S
BEEN MUCH HELP.
I SPOKE WITH HER.
SHE WON'T BE PROACTIVE,
BUT MY INSTINCT IS
SHE WON'T INTERFERE.
DON'T WE NEED MORE THAN THAT?
MICHAEL'S SELF-ESTEEM
IS TIED INTO NIKITA'S
PERCEPTION OF HIM.
I'M SURE IT'S VERY
PAINFUL FOR HIM.
GOOD.
VELDEN'S CAR JUST ROLLED IN.
DO WE HAVE A VISUAL CONFIRMATION
ON VELDEN IN THE CAR?
WE HAVE VISUAL CONFIRMATION.
HE'S COMIN' TO YOU.
OK, BIRKOFF, WE'RE
READY DOWN HERE.
WHAT'S YOUR STATUS UPSTAIRS?
VELDEN SHOULD BE MOVING
TO THE RENDEZVOUS POINT NOW.
(Birkoff) WE HAVE TO WAIT
FOR A VISUAL ON THE LIBYANS.
DAVENPORT, HOLD.
VELDEN'S TEAM'S STILL
OUTSIDE YOUR PERIMETER.
HOW DO YOU KNOW?
LOOK AT THE PAY
PHONE BEHIND YOU.
(Michael) BIRKOFF TOOK
OUT THE LAND CHANNELS.
THAT GUY'S JUST POSTED.
THE LIBYANS ARE
MOVING TO RENDEZVOUS.
ALL RIGHT, START YOUR
CHECK. TEAM ONE, GO.
EXCUSE ME.
[cell phone ringing]
YES?
(man) THE TRAIN STATION.
ALL RIGHT, WE'RE DOWN
FOR THE MOMENT, BIRKOFF.
WE MAY HAVE BEEN MADE.
HE'S BACKTRACKING TO A
NEW POSITION TO MAKE SURE
THE LIBYANS DON'T HAVE A NET.
OK, CAN WE GO ONE LAYER OUT?
NOT WITHOUT COLLATERAL.
YOU'LL HIT INNOCENTS FOR SURE.
LET IT PLAY OUT, BIRKOFF.
LIBYANS ARE HEADING BACK
TO THE TRAIN STATION. NIKITA?
VELDEN'S TEAM'S CONVERGING.
THEY'VE SPLIT INTO
UPPER AND LOWER TEAMS.
(Michael) NIKITA, MOVE
TO 3RD POSITION.
THEY'RE HEADING INSIDE.
THEY MUST HAVE A CLEAN
ROOM IN THE GARAGE.
(Davenport) OK, ALL TEAMS ABORT.
NO. WE WON'T GET
A CONTROL WINDOW
LIKE THIS FOR MONTHS.
WE HAVE TO USE IT.
HOW?
TEAMS 1 AND 2 ROTATE.
I NEED A ROLL TO THE SOUTH.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING, MICHAEL?
WE'LL MAKE IT LOOK LIKE
A THIRD-PARTY RIP-OFF.
(Michael) I NEED 60 SECONDS
OF FIRE TIME IN A POCKET.
OK.
MAKE SURE ALL EXITS ARE BLOCKED.
WHAT ABOUT THE LIBYANS?
WE'LL KEEP 2 ALIVE.
DAVENPORT, WHAT IS
THE CHAIN OF COMMAND?
I'M GIVING IT TO MICHAEL.
WHERE DO YOU WANT ME, MICHAEL?
(Michael) BIRKOFF,
PUT IN THE NEW PROGRAM
AND START SEQUENCING.
[beeping]
[grunting]
[gun firing]
WHAT'S HE DOING?
THEY'RE BLEEDING OUR ACCOUNTS.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
WE ONLY HAVE A FEW SECONDS,
SO LISTEN TO ME CAREFULLY.
YOUR MONEY AND
YOUR CLIENTS' MONEY
IS NOW BEING STOLEN.
IN 24 HOURS,
YOU'LL BE CONTACTED
BY OUR PEOPLE.
IF YOU DON'T DO WHAT THEY SAY,
WE'LL MAKE IT LOOK LIKE
YOU MASTERMINDED THIS RIP-OFF.
THE LIBYANS WILL HUNT
YOU DOWN AND KILL YOU.
WHO ARE YOU? WHAT DO YOU WANT?
INFORMATION.
YOU WORK FOR US NOW.
HOW DO I GET OUT OF HERE?
[grunts]
YOU HAVE A CAR NEARBY?
YEAH.
PUT THE MONEY BACK.
THAT'S IT.
LET'S GO.
MICHAEL.
I COULDN'T DO WHAT
YOU DID OUT THERE TODAY.
I LEARNED A LOT.
THANK YOU.
SO, WHAT ARE YOU
GOING TO DO NOW?
LET'S GO HOME.
YOU CAN'T DENY TO YOURSELF
WHAT HAPPENED TODAY, MICHAEL.
YOU'RE A LEVEL-5 OPERATIVE.
THAT'S THE ONLY
WAY YOU CAN LIVE.
I DON'T WANT TO THINK
ABOUT IT RIGHT NOW.
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO
BECAUSE WHEN YOU LEAD MISSIONS,
WE SURVIVE.
WE WERE ONTO SOMETHING.
MAYBE THERE'S ANOTHER WAY.
THEY'RE NOT GOING
TO LET THIS PLAY ON
FOR MUCH LONGER.
THERE'S NO OTHER WAY.
IF WE END IT NOW,
WE CAN AT LEAST
PRESERVE OUR FRIENDSHIP.
YES, MICHAEL?
I WANT MY STATUS REINSTATED.
WHAT ABOUT YOU AND NIKITA?
IT'S OVER.
YOU KNOW IT WOULD BE POINTLESS
FOR YOU TO DECEIVE ME ON THIS.
I KNOW.
[computer beeping]
LEVEL-5 STATUS REINSTATED.
EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY.
WILL IT HOLD?
FOR NOW.
(Birkoff) WALTER?
WHAT?
I FORGOT TO RETURN THIS TO YOU.
OH, YEAH. YEAH, THANKS.
I THOUGHT YOU
HAD A DATE TONIGHT.
NO.
I DON'T THINK
IT'S GOING TO WORK
OUT WITH ME AND VALERIE.
THAT'S TOO BAD.
NO, NOT REALLY.
SHE'S NOT MY TYPE.
LOOK, BIRKOFF,
DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME, OK?
I MEAN, IF YOU WANT
TO SEE HER, SEE HER.
IT'S NO BIG THING.
I DON'T THINK SO.
I DON'T HAVE A LOT OF FRIENDS.
I DIDN'T LIKE THE WAY IT FELT
NOT BEING ABLE TO TALK TO YOU.
YOU CAN TALK TO ME
ANY TIME YOU WANT.
THANKS, WALTER.
[sighs]
WHERE WERE WE?
(Nikita) COME IN.
NO.
I JUST CAME BY TO
TELL YOU SOMETHING.
IT'S NOT OVER.
WE WILL BE TOGETHER.
