La Femme Nikita (1997–2001): Season 3, Episode 21 - Playing with Fire - full transcript
Operations sends Michael's team to steal detonation chips from the base camp of the kamikaze terrorist group Crimson Storm. After the successful mission, Michael and Nikita steal away for a romantic interlude, but Birkoff feels ob...
(medic #1) HE'S GOING INTO
SHOCK. STABILIZE. PUSH.
(medic #2) GET HIM INTO
ONE. LET'S GO, LET'S GO.
LET'S MOVE. GET HIM INTO ONE.
HIS CONDITION?
BARELY ALIVE.
THIS MAN CANNOT DIE.
OF COURSE.
(medic #3) PRESSURE, PRESSURE.
BLOOD PRESSURE DROPPING.
WATCH IT, WATCH IT!
(female medic) MADELINE?
YES.
THE TARGET HAS BEEN PRESERVED.
I'M ON MY WAY.
MR. TERIK, WE ALMOST LOST YOU.
WHERE AM I?
SECTION ONE.
SECTION ONE?
WHY AM I ALIVE?
WE SAVED YOUR LIFE, AND NOW
WE'D LIKE SOMETHING IN RETURN.
THE GROUP YOU BELONG
TO, CRIMSON STORM,
WE'D LIKE TO KNOW
WHERE THEIR BASE CAMP IS.
ANTAKYA.
THANK YOU.
[control monitors flat lining]
[woman speaking French]
YOU JUST NEVER QUIT.
YES, MICK?
PICTURE THIS: VENICE,
IT'S 5:00 IN THE MORNING,
AND I'M JUST WALKING
BACK TO MY HOTEL,
FROM WHERE, YOU
DON'T HAVE TO KNOW,
AND I SEE THIS IN A WINDOW,
AND I SAY TO MYSELF,
NIKITA.
HERE. IT'S FUN.
LOOK AT IT. IT'S NICE.
I CAN'T TAKE GIFTS
FROM YOU, MICK.
PITY. STILL, I DO NEED A FAVOR.
WHAT WOULD THAT BE?
ME MOM. SHE'S COMING
INTO TOWN NEXT WEEK
FOR A QUICK VISIT.
WHAT'S THE FAVOR?
WELL, SHE HAS A CERTAIN,
UH, HOW CAN I SAY,
IMPRESSION OF WHO I AM.
WHAT DOES SHE THINK YOU DO?
SHE THINKS I'M A DENTIST.
A DENTIST?
UH, AN ORAL SURGEON, ACTUALLY.
WHO'S MARRIED TO...
A GORGEOUS, LEGGY,
BLONDE, BLUE-EYED CHIPPIE.
THAT WOULD BE YOU.
NO WAY, MICK.
NO, I CAN'T DO IT.
COME ON.
ONE NIGHT, DINNER. I'LL COOK.
SHE'S OLD.
I MIGHT NEVER SEE HER AGAIN,
AND IT WILL MEAN
THE WORLD TO HER.
IF I SAY YES, WILL YOU LEAVE?
YES!
AND COULD YOU TAKE THAT ONE DOWN
'CAUSE IT IS A
BIT MUCH, ISN'T IT?
MOM'S CONSERVATIVE
WHEN IT COMES TO ART.
DON'T PUSH.
I HEAR IT WENT WELL IN MONROVIA.
WE GOT WHAT WE WANTED.
CONGRATULATIONS.
IT LOOKS LIKE THE
DIRECTIVE IS HOLDING.
MICHAEL AND NIKITA SEEM
TO HAVE MADE A CLEAN BREAK.
UNLESS THEY'RE PUTTING
ON A SHOW FOR US.
WHAT ARE THEIR LEVELS?
NIKITA IS 98 PERCENT,
AND MICHAEL'S
ESSENTIALLY 100 PERCENT.
AS GOOD AS EVER.
WE'LL SEE.
(Operations) YESTERDAY, GUNTER
TERIK PROVIDED US WITH A LOCATION
OF HIS PRIMARY
BASE CAMP. BIRKOFF.
IT'S HEAVILY FORTIFIED.
WETWEAR IN THE TRIPLE DIGITS.
SHADOW APPROACH
IS THE BEST WAY IN.
MAKE NO MISTAKE.
CRIMSON STORM IS
A PARAMILITARY LIBERATION CELL,
BUT THEIR KAMIKAZE BEHAVIOR
MAKES THEM UNPREDICTABLE.
THEY HIT HARD AND FAST.
THEIR MESSAGE OF
FREEDOM IS DELIVERED IN
BOLD PUBLIC DISPLAYS.
THEY CONSIDER THEIR FIGHT
MORE NOBLE THAN POLITICAL
WHICH MAKES THEM
A CLASS "A" THREAT.
WE'RE ESTIMATING A HIGH
DEGREE OF RESISTANCE.
20 PERCENT CASUALTY RATE.
WHAT ABOUT THEIR ARSENAL?
WHAT WE NEED ARE
THE DETONATION CHIPS.
NIKITA WILL BE
HANDLING RETRIEVAL.
OPERATIVES ARE ALL ON STANDBY.
I'VE GIVEN SOME MORE THOUGHT
ABOUT OUR EARLIER CONVERSATION.
ABOUT MICHAEL AND NIKITA?
I SUGGEST PLANTING AN OBSERVER.
ALREADY DONE.
WHO?
SNOW.
YOU'RE ON THE
BENCH FOR THIS ONE.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
SNOW'S OUT. I'M IN.
UNDER WHOSE AUTHORITY?
OPERATIONS.
NO, NOT THAT ONE. THIS IS YOURS.
THANKS.
IT'S A PLEASURE.
TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.
YOU WANTED TO SEE ME?
WHEN MICHAEL'S TEAM RETURNS
I WANT YOU TO
SWEEP THEIR PANELS.
WHY?
THAT'S NO CONCERN OF YOURS.
UH, WHAT AM I LOOKING FOR?
ANYTHING UNDER THE WIRE.
MOST LIKELY, IT
WILL BE ENCRYPTED.
YOU'RE LOOKING FOR
SUB-CONTACT BETWEEN OPERATIVES?
EXACTLY.
I'LL GET ON IT AS SOON
AS THEY GET BACK.
GOOD.
NIKITA, MOVE TO
YOUR FIRST POSITION.
FIRST TEAM IS IN
THE TARGET ZONE.
OK, NIKITA, GO.
NIKITA, YOU'RE CLEAR.
MOVE TO YOUR 2ND POSITION.
[all chattering]
BIRKOFF, THEY CHANGED
THE ENTRY CODE.
OK, JACK ME IN.
TRY IT NOW.
GOT IT.
NIKITA HAS POSSESSION.
(Operations) EVACUATE
AND ELIMINATE.
OK, WE'RE OUT OF HERE.
RETRIEVAL?
(Nikita) BIRKOFF,
I'M SURROUNDED.
I NEED IMMEDIATE EGRESS.
MICHAEL, RETRIEVAL'S UNDER FIRE.
WHERE'S NIKITA?
THEY'VE GOT HER.
RETRIEVAL'S GONE GRAY.
WE HAVE A HOSTAGE SITUATION.
TELL MICHAEL TO PROCEED
WITH A CONTINGENCY 3.
DAVENPORT HAS FLANK.
THE REST OF THE
TEAM IS ON RETURN.
WE'LL STAGGER
APPROACH. STAY CLOSE.
BIRKOFF, TAKE US OFF FOLLOW-UP.
MICHAEL WANTS TO GO DARK.
IS THAT PRUDENT?
MAKES SENSE.
THE ENTIRE
PERIMETER'S A HOT ZONE,
AND CRIMSON STORM HAS
SATELLITE-TRACKING CAPABILITIES.
DROP HIM.
DARK APPROACH GRANTED.
DAMN IT!
WE HAVE ONE HOUR.
WHAT HAPPENED?
I, UH...
THEY GRABBED ME AND
EVERYTHING JUST WENT BLANK, LIKE...
SHE WAS DRUGGED.
(Operations) WAS
SHE INTERROGATED?
NO. I GOT THERE
BEFORE THEY STARTED.
HOW MANY?
3, BUT THEY HAD A CONTINGENCY.
THEY ESCAPED?
BIRKOFF'S TRACING THE LOCATION.
OK.
NIKITA.
NIKITA.
HEY.
THEY DIDN'T HURT YOU, DID THEY?
NO.
DIDN'T GET A CHANCE
TO DO ANY REAL DAMAGE.
GOOD.
COULD I GET YOUR PANEL?
WHY?
I CAN'T SAY.
WELL, I USUALLY
HAND IT IN TO WALTER.
I KNOW, BUT THIS IS COMING
STRAIGHT FROM MADELINE.
WHAT'S SHE LOOKING FOR, BIRKOFF?
BIRKOFF.
ARE YOU OK, SUGAR?
I'LL LIVE. THERE'S A PROBLEM.
THAT'S FINE, THANKS.
WHAT IS IT?
BIRKOFF PICKED UP MY PANEL.
WHAT?
BUT I DIDN'T SANITIZE IT.
I KNOW.
DO YOU THINK HE'LL FIND IT?
ARE YOU KIDDING? BIRKOFF?
HE'LL FIND IT ALL RIGHT.
YOU JUST TAKE IT EASY, OK?
WHAT IS THIS?
WHOA.
[clears throat]
THAT'S THE ONE I'M LOOKING FOR.
MADELINE ASKED ME TO
DO A SWEEP FOR DEBRIEF.
ANY PARTICULAR REASON?
SHE'S LOOKING FOR INTERCOMMUNICATION
BETWEEN SECTION OPS.
ANYTHING UNDER THE WIRE.
WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?
I WAS HELPING 2 FRIENDS.
BEING A MESSENGER
FOR NIKITA AND MICHAEL
IS NOT HELPING THEM.
IT'S DIGGING THEIR
GRAVES, AND YOURS.
YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED
TO EVEN SEE THAT PANEL.
BUT I DID. NOW I
HAVE TO TURN IT IN.
YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS.
IF MADELINE SENT THIS
TO CRYPTOANALYSIS,
THEY'D SPOT IT IN A SECOND.
I HAVE TO.
WHEN'S SHE EXPECTING
YOUR REPORT?
3:00.
ALL RIGHT, GIVE ME TILL THEN.
TO DO WHAT?
I DON'T KNOW. I'LL
THINK OF SOMETHING.
LOOK, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT
MICHAEL AND NIKITA, REMEMBER?
AND YOU.
OH, COME ON, BIRKOFF.
NO, I'M NOT GOING
DOWN WITH YOU GUYS.
I READ YOUR DEBRIEF.
I SEE EVERYTHING WENT
ACCORDING TO CONTINGENCY.
NOT EVERYTHING.
IS THERE SOMETHING
YOU WANT TO TELL ME?
I HAVE DETECTED A
SECONDARY LAYER.
YOU THINK THERE'S
ANOTHER BASE CAMP?
YES.
OUR INTEL SAYS NO.
I'D LIKE TO TAKE A
SMALL RECON TEAM
INTO THE FIELD TO BE CERTAIN.
WHO DO YOU RECOMMEND?
SINCLAIR. MIGNOLA. NIKITA.
I'LL CONSIDER IT.
HAVE YOU SPOKEN TO WALTER?
YES.
WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?
NOTHING.
AND IF BIRKOFF TELLS MADELINE?
DENY EVERYTHING.
MICHAEL, WE'RE
PLAYING WITH FIRE.
I KNOW.
IT'S 3:00.
DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO.
FIND ANYTHING?
YES.
WHAT IS IT?
IT'S A COMMUNIQUE
BETWEEN NIKITA AND MICHAEL.
WHAT DOES IT SAY?
OFF-PROFILE INFORMATION.
PERSONAL?
YES.
IT DETAILS A RENDEZVOUS
POINT AND TIME.
WAS THIS THE ANTAKYA MISSION?
YES.
WHO PLANTED IT?
A 3RD PARTY.
WALTER.
THANK YOU, BIRKOFF.
YOU CAN LEAVE NOW.
MICHAEL AND NIKITA ARE
HAVING OUTSIDE CONTACT.
HOW?
THEY'VE BEEN ABLE
TO AVOID SURVEILLANCE
BY INVOKING DARK APPROACH.
WHO'S THE FACILITATOR?
WALTER.
TAKE CARE OF IT.
(Madeline) WALTER, I WOULD
LIKE TO SEE YOU IN MY OFFICE.
I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
WALTER.
WALTER, YOU HERE?
MADELINE TOLD ME
ABOUT YOUR DISCOVERY.
WE'RE BOTH PLEASED YOU
MADE THE RIGHT DECISION.
IS WALTER GONNA DIE?
NOT IF HE COOPERATES.
WALTER'S A FRIEND, I UNDERSTAND.
FRIENDSHIP IS INEVITABLE
UNDER THESE CONDITIONS.
IT'S SOMETHING WE
TOLERATE TO AN EXTENT.
I DON'T SEE HOW A RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN 2 OPERATIVES
CAN BE DANGEROUS.
IT'S NOT JUST 2
OPERATIVES, IS IT?
WALTER FACILITATES THE LIAISONS.
THERE'S NO TELLING HOW
MANY OTHER OPERATIVES
MICHAEL AND NIKITA USED
TO CONCEAL THEIR RELATIONSHIP.
MY MOTHER WAS ILL MOST
OF THE TIME I KNEW HER.
SHE HARDLY LEFT THE HOUSE
EXCEPT FOR DOCTORS' APPOINTMENTS,
AND SPENDING TIME
WITH HER FLOWERS.
SHE FOUND SOLACE
IN HER GARDENING.
ONE DAY, HER FAVORITE
PLANT GOT SICK,
STARTED TO AFFECT
ALL THE OTHER PLANTS.
IN NO TIME, THE ENTIRE
GARDEN WAS DYING.
WHAT DID SHE DO?
SHE WENT TO THE SOURCE.
SHE FOUND SOME OF THE
ROOTS WERE DECAYING,
SO SHE PLUCKED THE DEAD ONES.
IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG
FOR THE GARDEN
TO START GROWING AGAIN.
STOP BY DATA.
THERE'S A PROBLEM
WITH A DELTA FILE.
SURE.
DID YOU REALLY THINK YOU
COULD GET AWAY WITH THIS?
IT DOESN'T MATTER.
IT'S WHAT THEY WANTED.
IT'S CALLED LIVING.
LIVING.
HUH. LOOK IT UP.
IT'S IN THE DICTIONARY.
WALTER, YOU'RE A
60-YEAR-OLD TEENAGER.
BY HELPING THEM, YOU'RE ONLY
JEOPARDIZING THEIR FUTURE.
AND WHAT FUTURE MIGHT THAT BE?
WE HAVE BIGGER PLANS
FOR MICHAEL AND NIKITA.
ALL THEY WANTED
WAS TO BE TOGETHER.
THAT'S ALL.
YOU AND I AREN'T PRIVY
TO WHAT GOES ON WHEN
THEY'RE TOGETHER, ARE WE?
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO TO ME?
IT DEPENDS ON YOUR
LEVEL OF COOPERATION.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO KNOW?
EVERYTHING.
WALTER'S GONE.
HE TOOK SOME DOWNTIME.
IS THAT WHAT THEY
TOLD YOU? ARE YOU SURE?
WHERE'S BIRKOFF?
OPERATIONS HAS HIM...
TROUBLESHOOTING IN DATA.
WALTER WON'T TALK.
WE SHOULD NEVER HAVE
BROUGHT HIM INTO THIS.
HE OFFERED TO HELP.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT
I'LL DO IF THEY HURT HIM.
GO HOME, NIKITA.
YOU'RE SUPPOSED
TO BE ON DOWNTIME.
I'LL SEE WHAT I CAN FIND OUT.
ALL RIGHT, WHERE DID I
GO TO DENTAL SCHOOL?
OH, I GIVE UP. WHERE DID YOU GO?
YOU'RE NOT LISTENING.
BRISTOL COLLEGE.
PAY ATTENTION.
THIS IS NOT A GAME.
I'M LISTENING.
IF MOM SUSPECTS THE
SLIGHTEST DISSEMBLANCE,
EVEN FOR AN INSTANT...
I'M LISTENING.
I WON'T GET MY
INHERITANCE, WILL I?
OH.
SO THAT'S WHAT
THIS IS REALLY ABOUT.
NO.
ABSOLUTELY NOT.
I WANT HER TO KNOW
THAT SHE'S PRODUCED
AT LEAST ONE WORTHWHILE
MEMBER OF SOCIETY.
DIDN'T REALIZE YOU
HAD A BROTHER, MICK.
DON'T GO THERE, ALL RIGHT?
BRISTOL COLLEGE.
WE MET AT THE ST. JAMES CLUB.
YOU COME FROM A WEALTHY FAMILY
OF NEW ZEALAND SHEEPHERDERS.
IF SHE ASKS FOR
DETAILS, TELL HER THAT,
THAT THEY WERE ALL TRAGICALLY
KILLED IN AN AVALANCHE.
AVALANCHE?
YES.
AND YOU DON'T DRINK.
OH, COME ON,
POPSICLE, STAY WITH ME.
THIS IS IMPORTANT.
MOM ARRIVES TOMORROW.
A LOT CAN HAPPEN BETWEEN
TODAY AND TOMORROW.
SUCH AS?
NEVER YOU MIND, MICK.
ALL RIGHT.
LET'S HAVE IT.
COME ON. ALL OF IT.
I JUST DON'T FIT INTO
SECTION ONE, THAT'S ALL.
AND I THINK THEY FINALLY
FIGURED THAT OUT.
HOW DID IT GO WITH WALTER?
THERE WAS NO RESISTANCE.
DID HE TELL YOU HOW HE DID IT?
HE'S BEEN LAYERING THEIR
PANELS WITH ENCRYPTION.
WHY DO YOU THINK HE HELPED THEM?
HE THINKS IT'S HARMLESS.
IT COULD BE WHAT
THEY'RE TELLING HIM.
DO YOU THINK THEY'RE
JUST USING WALTER?
MAKING HIM THINK
THAT IT'S SOMETHING TO
DO WITH THEIR RELATIONSHIP
WHEN IT'S REALLY
ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE?
MAYBE.
MICHAEL WAS COMFORTABLE RUNNING
SECTION WHILE YOU WERE AT CENTER.
WILL WALTER COOPERATE WITH US?
YES.
GOOD. HAVE HIM
PREPARE THEIR PANELS.
WE'LL SEND THEM
BACK INTO THE FIELD.
I THINK THAT'S WISE.
WE SHOULD FIND OUT
EXACTLY WHAT THEY'RE DOING
BEFORE DETERMINING
A COURSE OF ACTION.
MICHAEL,
I'VE APPROVED YOUR
REQUEST FOR FIELD RECON.
I'LL INFORM MY TEAM.
ISN'T NECESSARY.
THIS IS INTELLIGENCE
GATHERING ONLY.
I WAS THINKING A 2-MAN TEAM.
IT'LL REDUCE OUR EXPOSURE.
WHO ELSE DID YOU HAVE IN MIND?
NIKITA.
SHE'LL WORK.
I THINK SO.
HOW WAS YOUR DOWNTIME?
IT WAS VERY RELAXING.
GOOD.
WORD HAS IT YOU'RE GOING OUT.
RECON.
NIKITA, TOO?
YES.
IT'LL BE ON YOUR
PANEL AND NIKITA'S.
THANK YOU.
A SECONDARY LAYER WAS DETECTED
DURING THE ANTAKYA MISSION,
A SUBSTATION MANNED
BY CRIMSON STORM'S
HEAD STRATEGIST,
VILAS NAVARRO.
WE'RE GONNA NEED A BROAD
SWEEP WITH A HARD TARGET SEARCH.
FULL AIR SUPPORT IS ON
STANDBY IN CASE OF A CONFIRM.
FURTHER DETAILS
ARE ON YOUR PANELS.
THAT'S ALL.
BIRKOFF.
(Operations) BIRKOFF,
COME WITH ME.
HEY.
SO WHICH ONE'S MINE?
HERE.
YOU ALL RIGHT?
YEAH, FINE.
YOU WANNA TALK ABOUT IT?
THERE'S NOTHING
MUCH TO SAY, SUGAR.
JUST TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF, OK?
WALTER GAVE US THE
RENDEZVOUS POINT.
THE LOCATION'S BEEN PREPPED.
STAY ONE LAYER OUT UNTIL
WE GIVE YOU THE SIGNAL.
SIR, NIKITA AND MICHAEL
WILL RESIST CAPTURE.
YOU'RE CLEARED
FOR EXTREME FORCE.
[sighs]
I'M SORRY, SIR.
I'LL NEED YOU TO
BE MORE EXPLICIT.
THEY ARE NOT TO ESCAPE.
KILL THEM IF NECESSARY.
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS
SHADOW TEAM ATTACHED TO RECON?
OPERATIONS IS SETTING A
TRAP FOR MICHAEL AND NIKITA.
WALTER, I'M SORRY.
(Operations) BIRKOFF,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
(Birkoff) I WAS JUST...
THESE ARE THE 2 I WANT
YOU TO SWEEP, RIGHT HERE.
THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME.
I NEED YOU IN COMM.
RECON'S ABOUT TO
HIT THEIR FIRST MARK.
YES, SIR.
FIRST TEAM, REPORT.
I'M DETECTING A KAPPA SIGNAL.
I'M NOT PICKING UP ANYTHING.
IT'S HERE. WE HAVE
TO DISCONNECT.
I DON'T THINK THAT'S
A GOOD IDEA, MICHAEL.
(Michael) JUST DO IT, BIRKOFF.
DO AS HE SAYS. TAKE
THEM OFF THE BOARD.
WE DON'T WANT TO TAKE
A CHANCE OF NAVARRO
TUNNELING INTO THE SYSTEM.
ALL RIGHT, FIRST TEAM,
YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN.
IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME.
IT'S A PITY IT HAD
TO COME TO THIS.

(Davenport) SIR, HOW LONG
DO YOU WANT US TO WAIT?
AS LONG AS IT TAKES.
(Birkoff) SIR?
WHAT IS IT, BIRKOFF?
FIRST TEAM HAS RETURNED.
THEY BROUGHT BACK VILAS NAVARRO.
WHAT?
MICHAEL WAS RIGHT.
NAVARRO HAD A KAPPA TRANSMITTER.
(Schtoppel) YEAH,
YEAH, I UNDERSTAND,
BUT YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY
SURE SHE WAS ON THAT FLIGHT?
AND IT LANDED AT 6:00?
YEAH, ALL RIGHT. THANKS.
WELL?
I DON'T KNOW WHAT COULD
HAVE HAPPENED TO HER.
MAYBE I SHOULD
CHECK THE HOSPITALS.
I KNEW I SHOULD HAVE
GONE TO PICK HER UP MYSELF.
I KNEW IT.
[mobile phone ringing]
HELLO? HELLO, MOM. YEAH.
YEAH, WHERE ARE YOU?
YEAH, I THOUGHT
THEY... YEAH. RIGHT.
YEAH. YEAH.
YEAH, ALL RIGHT, THEN.
YEAH, THANKS FOR CALLING.
WELL, WHERE IS SHE?
UM, SHE'S NOT GONNA
BE ABLE TO MAKE IT.
WHY?
SHE RAN INTO SOMEBODY
AT THE AIRPORT.
WHO?
FELIX, HE'S AN OLD FLAME.
HE'S A BIT OF A CAD, ACTUALLY.
USED TO MAKE HER PAY FOR HER
OWN DINNERS WHEN THEY WENT OUT.
SHE'S GONNA SPEND A
COUPLE OF HOURS WITH HIM
INSTEAD OF WITH ME.
[clears throat]
WELL, COME ON, MICK,
LET'S HAVE SOME DINNER.
NO, YOU KNOW WHAT?
IT'S FINE. YOU GO
AHEAD. IT'S... IT'S COOL.
YOU SURE? IT'S READY.
YOU LOOK REALLY
GREAT, YOU KNOW THAT?
IT WAS A NICE THING YOU
WERE GONNA DO FOR ME.
WALTER.
HUH?
I, UH...
HEY, DON'T SWEAT IT.
YOU DIDN'T HAVE A CHOICE.
I SHOULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING.
WHAT? AND RISK YOUR
NECK? I DON'T THINK SO.
YOU DID. FOR NIKITA AND MICHAEL.
WELL, WHAT CAN I SAY?
I'M A SUCKER FOR
SEEING PEOPLE HAPPY.
SO, HOW DID THEY
KNOW ABOUT THE TRAP?
THERE'S A FEW TRICKS I
HAVEN'T TOLD YOU ABOUT.
NOW, FIRST, YOU TAKE...
NO, NO, IT'S OK. I
DON'T WANNA KNOW.
I THINK WE SHOULD PROCEED
WITH OUR ORIGINAL PLAN.
IT'S DANGEROUS.
THEN PROCEED WITH CAUTION.
[woman speaking French]
SHOCK. STABILIZE. PUSH.
(medic #2) GET HIM INTO
ONE. LET'S GO, LET'S GO.
LET'S MOVE. GET HIM INTO ONE.
HIS CONDITION?
BARELY ALIVE.
THIS MAN CANNOT DIE.
OF COURSE.
(medic #3) PRESSURE, PRESSURE.
BLOOD PRESSURE DROPPING.
WATCH IT, WATCH IT!
(female medic) MADELINE?
YES.
THE TARGET HAS BEEN PRESERVED.
I'M ON MY WAY.
MR. TERIK, WE ALMOST LOST YOU.
WHERE AM I?
SECTION ONE.
SECTION ONE?
WHY AM I ALIVE?
WE SAVED YOUR LIFE, AND NOW
WE'D LIKE SOMETHING IN RETURN.
THE GROUP YOU BELONG
TO, CRIMSON STORM,
WE'D LIKE TO KNOW
WHERE THEIR BASE CAMP IS.
ANTAKYA.
THANK YOU.
[control monitors flat lining]
[woman speaking French]
YOU JUST NEVER QUIT.
YES, MICK?
PICTURE THIS: VENICE,
IT'S 5:00 IN THE MORNING,
AND I'M JUST WALKING
BACK TO MY HOTEL,
FROM WHERE, YOU
DON'T HAVE TO KNOW,
AND I SEE THIS IN A WINDOW,
AND I SAY TO MYSELF,
NIKITA.
HERE. IT'S FUN.
LOOK AT IT. IT'S NICE.
I CAN'T TAKE GIFTS
FROM YOU, MICK.
PITY. STILL, I DO NEED A FAVOR.
WHAT WOULD THAT BE?

INTO TOWN NEXT WEEK
FOR A QUICK VISIT.
WHAT'S THE FAVOR?
WELL, SHE HAS A CERTAIN,
UH, HOW CAN I SAY,

WHAT DOES SHE THINK YOU DO?
SHE THINKS I'M A DENTIST.
A DENTIST?
UH, AN ORAL SURGEON, ACTUALLY.
WHO'S MARRIED TO...
A GORGEOUS, LEGGY,
BLONDE, BLUE-EYED CHIPPIE.
THAT WOULD BE YOU.
NO WAY, MICK.
NO, I CAN'T DO IT.
COME ON.

BIRKOFF.

I'LL LIVE. THERE'S A PROBLEM.
THAT'S FINE, THANKS.

PLAYING WITH FIRE.
I KNOW.
IT'S 3:00.
DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO.
FIND ANYTHING?
YES.
WHAT IS IT?
IT'S A COMMUNIQUE
BETWEEN NIKITA AND MICHAEL.
WHAT DOES IT SAY?
OFF-PROFILE INFORMATION.
PERSONAL?
YES.
IT DETAILS A RENDEZVOUS
POINT AND TIME.
WAS THIS THE ANTAKYA MISSION?
YES.
WHO PLANTED IT?
A 3RD PARTY.
WALTER.
THANK YOU, BIRKOFF.
YOU CAN LEAVE NOW.
MICHAEL AND NIKITA ARE
HAVING OUTSIDE CONTACT.
HOW?
THEY'VE BEEN ABLE
TO AVOID SURVEILLANCE
BY INVOKING DARK APPROACH.
WHO'S THE FACILITATOR?
WALTER.
TAKE CARE OF IT.
(Madeline) WALTER, I WOULD
LIKE TO SEE YOU IN MY OFFICE.
I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
WALTER.
WALTER, YOU HERE?
MADELINE TOLD ME
ABOUT YOUR DISCOVERY.
WE'RE BOTH PLEASED YOU
MADE THE RIGHT DECISION.
IS WALTER GONNA DIE?
NOT IF HE COOPERATES.
WALTER'S A FRIEND, I UNDERSTAND.
FRIENDSHIP IS INEVITABLE
UNDER THESE CONDITIONS.
IT'S SOMETHING WE
TOLERATE TO AN EXTENT.
I DON'T SEE HOW A RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN 2 OPERATIVES
CAN BE DANGEROUS.
IT'S NOT JUST 2
OPERATIVES, IS IT?
WALTER FACILITATES THE LIAISONS.
THERE'S NO TELLING HOW
MANY OTHER OPERATIVES
MICHAEL AND NIKITA USED
TO CONCEAL THEIR RELATIONSHIP.
MY MOTHER WAS ILL MOST
OF THE TIME I KNEW HER.
SHE HARDLY LEFT THE HOUSE
EXCEPT FOR DOCTORS' APPOINTMENTS,
AND SPENDING TIME
WITH HER FLOWERS.
SHE FOUND SOLACE
IN HER GARDENING.
ONE DAY, HER FAVORITE
PLANT GOT SICK,
STARTED TO AFFECT
ALL THE OTHER PLANTS.
IN NO TIME, THE ENTIRE
GARDEN WAS DYING.
WHAT DID SHE DO?
SHE WENT TO THE SOURCE.
SHE FOUND SOME OF THE
ROOTS WERE DECAYING,
SO SHE PLUCKED THE DEAD ONES.
IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG
FOR THE GARDEN
TO START GROWING AGAIN.
STOP BY DATA.
THERE'S A PROBLEM
WITH A DELTA FILE.
SURE.
DID YOU REALLY THINK YOU
COULD GET AWAY WITH THIS?
IT DOESN'T MATTER.
IT'S WHAT THEY WANTED.
IT'S CALLED LIVING.
LIVING.
HUH. LOOK IT UP.
IT'S IN THE DICTIONARY.
WALTER, YOU'RE A
60-YEAR-OLD TEENAGER.
BY HELPING THEM, YOU'RE ONLY
JEOPARDIZING THEIR FUTURE.
AND WHAT FUTURE MIGHT THAT BE?
WE HAVE BIGGER PLANS
FOR MICHAEL AND NIKITA.
ALL THEY WANTED
WAS TO BE TOGETHER.
THAT'S ALL.
YOU AND I AREN'T PRIVY
TO WHAT GOES ON WHEN
THEY'RE TOGETHER, ARE WE?
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO TO ME?
IT DEPENDS ON YOUR
LEVEL OF COOPERATION.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO KNOW?
EVERYTHING.
WALTER'S GONE.
HE TOOK SOME DOWNTIME.
IS THAT WHAT THEY
TOLD YOU? ARE YOU SURE?
WHERE'S BIRKOFF?
OPERATIONS HAS HIM...
TROUBLESHOOTING IN DATA.
WALTER WON'T TALK.
WE SHOULD NEVER HAVE
BROUGHT HIM INTO THIS.
HE OFFERED TO HELP.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT
I'LL DO IF THEY HURT HIM.
GO HOME, NIKITA.
YOU'RE SUPPOSED
TO BE ON DOWNTIME.
I'LL SEE WHAT I CAN FIND OUT.
ALL RIGHT, WHERE DID I
GO TO DENTAL SCHOOL?
OH, I GIVE UP. WHERE DID YOU GO?
YOU'RE NOT LISTENING.
BRISTOL COLLEGE.
PAY ATTENTION.
THIS IS NOT A GAME.
I'M LISTENING.
IF MOM SUSPECTS THE
SLIGHTEST DISSEMBLANCE,
EVEN FOR AN INSTANT...
I'M LISTENING.
I WON'T GET MY
INHERITANCE, WILL I?
OH.
SO THAT'S WHAT
THIS IS REALLY ABOUT.
NO.
ABSOLUTELY NOT.
I WANT HER TO KNOW
THAT SHE'S PRODUCED
AT LEAST ONE WORTHWHILE
MEMBER OF SOCIETY.
DIDN'T REALIZE YOU
HAD A BROTHER, MICK.
DON'T GO THERE, ALL RIGHT?
BRISTOL COLLEGE.
WE MET AT THE ST. JAMES CLUB.
YOU COME FROM A WEALTHY FAMILY
OF NEW ZEALAND SHEEPHERDERS.
IF SHE ASKS FOR
DETAILS, TELL HER THAT,
THAT THEY WERE ALL TRAGICALLY
KILLED IN AN AVALANCHE.
AVALANCHE?
YES.
AND YOU DON'T DRINK.
OH, COME ON,
POPSICLE, STAY WITH ME.
THIS IS IMPORTANT.
MOM ARRIVES TOMORROW.
A LOT CAN HAPPEN BETWEEN
TODAY AND TOMORROW.
SUCH AS?
NEVER YOU MIND, MICK.
ALL RIGHT.
LET'S HAVE IT.
COME ON. ALL OF IT.
I JUST DON'T FIT INTO
SECTION ONE, THAT'S ALL.
AND I THINK THEY FINALLY
FIGURED THAT OUT.
HOW DID IT GO WITH WALTER?
THERE WAS NO RESISTANCE.
DID HE TELL YOU HOW HE DID IT?
HE'S BEEN LAYERING THEIR
PANELS WITH ENCRYPTION.
WHY DO YOU THINK HE HELPED THEM?
HE THINKS IT'S HARMLESS.
IT COULD BE WHAT
THEY'RE TELLING HIM.
DO YOU THINK THEY'RE
JUST USING WALTER?
MAKING HIM THINK
THAT IT'S SOMETHING TO
DO WITH THEIR RELATIONSHIP
WHEN IT'S REALLY
ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE?
MAYBE.
MICHAEL WAS COMFORTABLE RUNNING
SECTION WHILE YOU WERE AT CENTER.
WILL WALTER COOPERATE WITH US?
YES.
GOOD. HAVE HIM
PREPARE THEIR PANELS.
WE'LL SEND THEM
BACK INTO THE FIELD.
I THINK THAT'S WISE.
WE SHOULD FIND OUT
EXACTLY WHAT THEY'RE DOING
BEFORE DETERMINING
A COURSE OF ACTION.
MICHAEL,
I'VE APPROVED YOUR
REQUEST FOR FIELD RECON.
I'LL INFORM MY TEAM.
ISN'T NECESSARY.
THIS IS INTELLIGENCE
GATHERING ONLY.
I WAS THINKING A 2-MAN TEAM.
IT'LL REDUCE OUR EXPOSURE.
WHO ELSE DID YOU HAVE IN MIND?
NIKITA.
SHE'LL WORK.
I THINK SO.
HOW WAS YOUR DOWNTIME?
IT WAS VERY RELAXING.
GOOD.
WORD HAS IT YOU'RE GOING OUT.
RECON.
NIKITA, TOO?
YES.
IT'LL BE ON YOUR
PANEL AND NIKITA'S.
THANK YOU.
A SECONDARY LAYER WAS DETECTED
DURING THE ANTAKYA MISSION,
A SUBSTATION MANNED
BY CRIMSON STORM'S
HEAD STRATEGIST,
VILAS NAVARRO.
WE'RE GONNA NEED A BROAD
SWEEP WITH A HARD TARGET SEARCH.
FULL AIR SUPPORT IS ON
STANDBY IN CASE OF A CONFIRM.
FURTHER DETAILS
ARE ON YOUR PANELS.
THAT'S ALL.
BIRKOFF.
(Operations) BIRKOFF,
COME WITH ME.
HEY.
SO WHICH ONE'S MINE?
HERE.
YOU ALL RIGHT?
YEAH, FINE.
YOU WANNA TALK ABOUT IT?
THERE'S NOTHING
MUCH TO SAY, SUGAR.
JUST TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF, OK?
WALTER GAVE US THE
RENDEZVOUS POINT.
THE LOCATION'S BEEN PREPPED.
STAY ONE LAYER OUT UNTIL
WE GIVE YOU THE SIGNAL.
SIR, NIKITA AND MICHAEL
WILL RESIST CAPTURE.
YOU'RE CLEARED
FOR EXTREME FORCE.
[sighs]
I'M SORRY, SIR.
I'LL NEED YOU TO
BE MORE EXPLICIT.
THEY ARE NOT TO ESCAPE.
KILL THEM IF NECESSARY.
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS
SHADOW TEAM ATTACHED TO RECON?
OPERATIONS IS SETTING A
TRAP FOR MICHAEL AND NIKITA.
WALTER, I'M SORRY.
(Operations) BIRKOFF,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
(Birkoff) I WAS JUST...
THESE ARE THE 2 I WANT
YOU TO SWEEP, RIGHT HERE.
THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME.
I NEED YOU IN COMM.
RECON'S ABOUT TO
HIT THEIR FIRST MARK.
YES, SIR.
FIRST TEAM, REPORT.
I'M DETECTING A KAPPA SIGNAL.
I'M NOT PICKING UP ANYTHING.
IT'S HERE. WE HAVE
TO DISCONNECT.
I DON'T THINK THAT'S
A GOOD IDEA, MICHAEL.
(Michael) JUST DO IT, BIRKOFF.
DO AS HE SAYS. TAKE
THEM OFF THE BOARD.
WE DON'T WANT TO TAKE
A CHANCE OF NAVARRO
TUNNELING INTO THE SYSTEM.
ALL RIGHT, FIRST TEAM,
YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN.
IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME.
IT'S A PITY IT HAD
TO COME TO THIS.

PROCEED TO YOUR

(Davenport) SIR, HOW LONG
DO YOU WANT US TO WAIT?
AS LONG AS IT TAKES.
(Birkoff) SIR?
WHAT IS IT, BIRKOFF?
FIRST TEAM HAS RETURNED.
THEY BROUGHT BACK VILAS NAVARRO.
WHAT?
MICHAEL WAS RIGHT.
NAVARRO HAD A KAPPA TRANSMITTER.
(Schtoppel) YEAH,
YEAH, I UNDERSTAND,
BUT YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY
SURE SHE WAS ON THAT FLIGHT?
AND IT LANDED AT 6:00?
YEAH, ALL RIGHT. THANKS.
WELL?
I DON'T KNOW WHAT COULD
HAVE HAPPENED TO HER.
MAYBE I SHOULD
CHECK THE HOSPITALS.
I KNEW I SHOULD HAVE
GONE TO PICK HER UP MYSELF.
I KNEW IT.
[mobile phone ringing]
HELLO? HELLO, MOM. YEAH.
YEAH, WHERE ARE YOU?
YEAH, I THOUGHT
THEY... YEAH. RIGHT.
YEAH. YEAH.
YEAH, ALL RIGHT, THEN.
YEAH, THANKS FOR CALLING.
WELL, WHERE IS SHE?
UM, SHE'S NOT GONNA
BE ABLE TO MAKE IT.
WHY?
SHE RAN INTO SOMEBODY
AT THE AIRPORT.
WHO?
FELIX, HE'S AN OLD FLAME.
HE'S A BIT OF A CAD, ACTUALLY.
USED TO MAKE HER PAY FOR HER
OWN DINNERS WHEN THEY WENT OUT.
SHE'S GONNA SPEND A
COUPLE OF HOURS WITH HIM
INSTEAD OF WITH ME.
[clears throat]
WELL, COME ON, MICK,
LET'S HAVE SOME DINNER.
NO, YOU KNOW WHAT?
IT'S FINE. YOU GO
AHEAD. IT'S... IT'S COOL.
YOU SURE? IT'S READY.
YOU LOOK REALLY
GREAT, YOU KNOW THAT?
IT WAS A NICE THING YOU
WERE GONNA DO FOR ME.
WALTER.
HUH?
I, UH...
HEY, DON'T SWEAT IT.
YOU DIDN'T HAVE A CHOICE.
I SHOULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING.
WHAT? AND RISK YOUR
NECK? I DON'T THINK SO.
YOU DID. FOR NIKITA AND MICHAEL.
WELL, WHAT CAN I SAY?
I'M A SUCKER FOR
SEEING PEOPLE HAPPY.
SO, HOW DID THEY
KNOW ABOUT THE TRAP?
THERE'S A FEW TRICKS I
HAVEN'T TOLD YOU ABOUT.
NOW, FIRST, YOU TAKE...
NO, NO, IT'S OK. I
DON'T WANNA KNOW.
I THINK WE SHOULD PROCEED
WITH OUR ORIGINAL PLAN.
IT'S DANGEROUS.
THEN PROCEED WITH CAUTION.
