La Femme Nikita (1997–2001): Season 3, Episode 7 - Cat and Mouse - full transcript
YOU'RE SURE THE TRUCKS WERE
VISIBLE TO SATELLITE SURVEILLANCE?
CLEARLY VISIBLE.
NOT TOO CLEARLY.
WE DON'T WANT TO TIP OUR HAND.
THERE'LL BE PLENTY OF
PROCESSING TO GET THROUGH.
GOOD.
IF I KNOW SECTION,
THEY'LL TAKE THE BAIT.
THEY'LL HAVE TO.
WHICH LEAVES ONE
LAST DETAIL: ABBY.
SHE'S READY.
SHE'S HAVING TROUBLE
WITH THE VOICE PATTERN.
NOT ANYMORE.
AND THAT LAST BIT OF
SURGERY, THE CHEEKBONES.
IT'S PERFECT.
I'D BETTER TAKE A LOOK AT HER.
[beeping]
SEND IN ABBY.
YES, YOU'LL DO VERY NICELY.
[woman speaking French]
[Nikita coughing]
(Operations) WE RECEIVED
PRIORITY INTEL AN HOUR AGO.
A KITCHEN HAS BEEN
LOCATED OUTSIDE GDANSK
ON THE BALTIC SEA.
THEY FURNISH BIOLOGICALS
TO A NUMBER OF
TERRORIST GROUPS
INCLUDING RED CELL.
THEY'VE BEEN CONNECTED TO
4 STRIKES IN THE LAST MONTH.
WHO'S THEIR SPONSOR?
SO FAR, ALL WE KNOW
IS IT'S A NEW PLAYER.
WE'RE STILL SEARCHING
FOR RELIABLE INTEL.
(Birkoff) THE LAB IS LOCATED
IN THIS TEXTILE PLANT.
COMSAT PHOTOS SHOW
CHEMICAL SUPPLY TRUCKS
ENTERING FROM THE SOUTH.
THEORETICALLY, THEY SHOULD
BE EMPTY WHEN THEY LEAVE.
THE ADVANCE TEAM PLACED
SENSORS ON THE ROAD.
THE OUTGOING TRUCKS
ARE PACKED TO THE GILLS.
(Operations) GET IN, FIND OUT WHAT
THEY'VE GOT AND WHO THEY ARE,
AND SHUT THEM DOWN.
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
I'M FINE. I'M JUST
GETTING OVER A COLD.
YOU WANT TO STEP DOWN?
NO, I'LL BE FINE. THANKS.
THERE ARE 4 LEVELS.
THE LAB IS AT THE TOP.
THE HALLWAY LOOPS
AROUND BOTH DIRECTIONS.
LAB COULD BE ON EITHER SIDE.
WE HAVE CONTACT.
[guns firing]
[groaning]
[groaning]
TAKE SAMPLES. DESTROY
EVERYTHING ELSE.
ANY SIGNATURE?
NOT SO FAR.
[beeps]
WE HAVE 90 SECONDS. MOVE OUT.
NIKITA, 90 SECONDS.
LET'S GO.
[explosion]
[groaning]
[groaning]
[gun firing]
[groaning]
[groaning]
WE GOT 60 SECONDS. HURRY.
NIKITA, WHAT'S GOIN' ON?
NIKITA, TALK TO ME.
HOSTILES TOOK OUT MY TEAM.
YOU GOT 30 SECONDS. GET GOIN'.
I'M ON MY WAY.
AMBUSH.
[machine gun firing]
[groaning]
THEY CUT OFF OUR RETREAT.
[explosion]
(man in wheelchair) PUT THIS ON.
GOOD. YOU LOOK AT ME.
YOU REALIZE IT'S IMPORTANT
TO KNOW THE INQUISITOR.
I'M TOLD THAT EVERYBODY'S
AFRAID OF SOMETHIN',
SOMETHING WHICH CAUSES
AN EMOTION BEYOND TERROR.
A HORROR THAT DEFIES
DESCRIPTION OR DEFINITION,
WHERE THE SENSES SHUT DOWN.
RIGHT HERE IN MY HAND IS EVERYTHING
THAT SECTION KNOWS ABOUT YOU.
[groaning]
[sighs]
I CAN'T HAVE YOU
DISTRACTING MY MEN.
[sighing]
WHERE AM I?
I'LL EXPLAIN EVERYTHING
WHEN YOU'RE DRESSED.
HOW'S YOUR COLD?
I'M SORRY?
YOUR COLD.
[sighs]
IT'S BETTER, MUCH BETTER.
JUST NEED TO GET
A LITTLE BIT OF REST.
(man in wheelchair) DON'T WORRY.
I BEAR YOU NO MALICE
FOR MY CONDITION.
IN FACT, I CONSIDER
MYSELF QUITE FORTUNATE.
IF YOUR AIM HAD BEEN 3
MILLIMETERS TO THE RIGHT...
[wheelchair whirs]
AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED,
THE SLATE IS CLEAN.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
CAN I OFFER YOU
SOME REFRESHMENT?
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
FIRST, YOU MUST REALIZE
THIS TIME THERE
WILL BE NO ESCAPE.
THERE'LL CERTAINLY BE NO RESCUE.
DO YOU KNOW WHY?
[sighing]
BECAUSE I'M NOT HERE AT ALL.
YOU'VE ALREADY GRASPED SOMETHING
THAT MOST PEOPLE WOULD
FIND QUITE DISORIENTING.
I HAVE A QUESTION.
YOU WANT TO KNOW
WHY YOU'RE STILL ALIVE.
ONCE BEFORE, AS YOU KNOW,
I EXTRACTED
INFORMATION FROM YOU.
AS IT TURNED OUT, IT
WAS A SECTION TRICK
WHICH RESULTED IN A RATHER
NASTY SETBACK FOR ME.
STILL, SOME OF WHAT I
LEARNED WAS QUITE VALUABLE.
NOW I NEED THE
REST OF THE PICTURE.
YOU WON'T GET IT.
YOU'D DIE BEFORE YOU'D HELP ME.
JUST KILL ME AND GET IT
OVER WITH, UNLESS, OF COURSE,
YOU'RE PLANNING
TO BORE ME TO DEATH.
HUMOR.
YOU'RE BECOMING MORE
CONFIDENT IN YOUR WORK.
AS I RECALL, THOUGH,
YOU DID HAVE A WEAKNESS.
I BELIEVE HIS NAME WAS MICHAEL.
ABBY,
IT'S SHOW-AND-TELL TIME.
[sighing]
PUT THE TARGET IN FOCUS.
THAT'LL DO FOR NOW, ABBY.
STILL BORED?
[sniffs]
NICE GUN.
NIKITA, THE TAPES SHOW
45 SECONDS OF SILENCE
AFTER THE AMBUSH.
WHY DIDN'T YOU CALL
BIRKOFF IMMEDIATELY?
WELL?
THE FREQUENCY WAS JAMMED.
I COULDN'T GET THROUGH.
THE FREQUENCY WAS JAMMED.
BIRKOFF MUST HAVE CALLED
IN THE SAME TIME AS YOU DID.
(man in wheelchair) GOOD.
YOU WILL CONTINUE TO TELL
US WHAT WE NEED TO KNOW.
YOU WILL EDUCATE ABBY
IN THE WAYS OF SECTION,
AND IN YOUR PERSONAL
HABITS, SO THERE IS NO CHANCE
OF THE DECEPTION
BEING DISCOVERED.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
ANSWER, NIKITA.
I UNDERSTAND.
WHERE ARE THEY?
VAN ACCESS.
LEADS DIRECTLY TO SECTION.
TELL HER WHAT TO DO.
GO TO SYSTEMS, FILL
OUT A MISSION REPORT.
TAKE THE CORRIDOR ON YOUR LEFT.
(Michael) WHERE ARE YOU GOIN'?
TO MAKE OUT MY REPORT.
THAT WON'T BE NECESSARY.
OPERATIONS WANTS TO
DEBRIEF YOU DIRECTLY.
NOW?
IN HALF AN HOUR.
YOU HAVE TO RETURN YOUR
COMMUNICATIONS DEVICE FIRST.
IT'S THE OTHER DIRECTION.
ALMOST FORGOT.
(Nikita) ABOUT 20
METERS STRAIGHT AHEAD.
PONYTAIL AND A BANDANNA
AT A WORKSTATION.
HIS NAME?
WALTER.
A FRIEND?
YES.
GUIDE HER. WORD FOR WORD.
HEY. HI, SUGAR.
HI.
ROUGH MISSION?
NOT GREAT.
BUT YOU'RE OK?
I'M FINE.
GOOD, GOOD.
YOU, UH, REMEMBER
WH-WHAT WE WERE TALKING
ABOUT A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO?
(Nikita) CHERYL.
(Abby) CHERYL?
(Walter) I ASKED HER TO GO OUT.
AND?
SHE SAID YES.
TOLD YOU SO.
YEAH, BUT I FEEL...
FEEL KIND OF GUILTY.
DON'T FEEL GUILTY.
(Nikita) BELINDA'D WANT
YOU TO GO OUT AGAIN.
BELINDA WOULD WANT
YOU TO GO OUT AGAIN.
YOU REALLY THINK SO?
(Abby) I KNOW SO.
(Walter) SUGAR,
YOU'RE THE GREATEST.
THANKS. GOT TO RUN.
TAKE CARE.
I THINK YOU'RE GETTING THE
HANG OF THIS RATHER WELL.
SOONER OR LATER,
THEY'LL SEE THROUGH HER.
OH, I DON'T THINK SO.
DON'T FORGET, I HAVE
YOUR ENTIRE FILE.
EVERYTHING THEY
KNOW ABOUT YOU, I KNOW.
I SPENT 2 YEARS
BIO-ENGINEERING ABBY'S FACE
AND SKELETAL STRUCTURE
TEACHING HER HOW TO
ACT AND SPEAK LIKE YOU.
ALL WE NEEDED WAS YOUR
KNOWLEDGE OF SECTION,
AND NOW WE HAVE THAT.
HOW LONG DO YOU
EXPECT ME TO DO THIS?
UNTIL MICHAEL'S LIFE HAS
NO FURTHER VALUE TO YOU.
ABBY CAN GET TO
HIM ANYTIME I WANT.
AND IN THE MEANTIME,
YOU DESTROY SECTION.
YOU DISAPPOINT ME.
THINK.
I HAVE NO INTENTION
OF DESTROYING SECTION.
BECAUSE WHILE YOU HAVE HER
IN THERE, YOU'RE ONE STEP AHEAD.
EXACTLY.
I WANT SECTION TO SURVIVE
FOR A VERY LONG TIME.
TSK. WHEN THEY SEE
THEIR MISSIONS FAILING,
THEY'LL KNOW SOMETHING'S WRONG.
THAT WON'T HAPPEN.
I'VE CALCULATED THEIR
MEAN SUCCESS RATE.
THAT WON'T CHANGE.
THEY'LL ONLY FAIL
WHEN I WANT THEM TO.
SO YOU'VE THOUGHT OF EVERYTHING.
I'VE NO DOUBT THERE'LL
BE THE ODD TIGHT SPOT,
BUT I'M CONFIDENT THAT
YOU'LL GET US THROUGH
ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.
THERE WAS NO RESISTANCE
ON THE PERIMETER.
NO.
NONE INSIDE UNTIL THE
MISSION WAS ALMOST COMPLETE?
(Abby) THAT'S RIGHT.
WHERE DID THE
HOSTILES COME FROM?
MOST LIKELY FROM
ABANDONED AIR DUCTS.
YOU DIDN'T CHECK FOR
THOSE ON THE WAY IN?
INTEL PROVIDED NO
INDICATION OF THEM.
SO THE PROBLEM WAS FAULTY INTEL.
INCOMPLETE INTEL.
YOU'RE ON CLOSE QUARTER
STANDBY FOR THE NEXT 12 HOURS.
THAT'S ALL.
YOU THINK THE LAB WAS A DECOY?
THE RESISTANCE WAS
TOKEN UNTIL THE AMBUSH.
IT'S A POSSIBILITY.
STILL IN THE ABSENCE
OF HARD EVIDENCE,
WE HAVE TO ACCEPT
THE MISSION OBJECTIVE
AS ACCOMPLISHED AND
MOVE ON TO PHASE 2.
WHAT DOES WALTER SAY?
HE RAN ABSORPTION
TESTS ON THE SAMPLES.
HE'S TRACING THEM NOW.
LET ME KNOW IF HE FINDS
A POTENTIAL SUPPLIER.
WE HAVE TO FIND OUT
WHO'S BEHIND THIS.
CLOSE QUARTER STANDBY.
THAT MEANS THERE'S GOING
TO BE A FOLLOW-UP MISSION.
THAT'S RIGHT.
SPLENDID.
HOW LONG DO WE HAVE?
A FEW HOURS.
GUIDE ABBY TO YOUR WORKSTATION.
THIS IS USELESS. IT'S
FAR TOO GENERAL.
I NEED THE SPECIFIC
MISSION PROFILE.
GO DEEPER INTO THE TREE.
TYPE IN "STAR-4-4,
BACKSLASH-ZERO."
[beeping]
NOW WHAT?
NOW NOTHING. I
DON'T HAVE ACCESS.
I DON'T BELIEVE YOU.
THE PROFILE WON'T BE RELEASED
UNTIL AN HOUR
BEFORE THE MISSION.
THAT'LL BE TOO LATE.
THERE'S NOTHING THAT I CAN DO.
HOW VERY SAD FOR MICHAEL.
THERE MIGHT BE A WAY.
I'M IN THE READY ROOM.
DOWNLOAD THE PROFILE
ONCE THE CYCLE'S COMPLETE.
(woman) OK. WE'RE ON IT.
[sighing]
OH, I'M SORRY. DIDN'T
MEAN TO WAKE YOU.
IT'S OK. I WASN'T ASLEEP.
YOU'RE WORKING TOO HARD.
TOO HARD AND NOT VERY WELL.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
THOSE OPERATIVES WE
LOST ON YOUR MISSION...
THAT WAS MY FAULT.
(Abby) OR MINE.
YOU WERE SURPRISED IN THE FIELD.
I'M SUPPOSED TO PREVENT THAT.
[sighing]
YOU'RE A GOOD MAN, BIRKOFF.
ROLL OVER.
ROLL OVER.
NOW.
(man in wheelchair)
GOOD. WE'VE GOT IT.
KEEP HIM BUSY FOR
ANOTHER 5 MINUTES.
THAT FEELS GREAT.
(Birkoff) WHAT WAS THAT FOR?
I TOLD YOU. YOU'RE A GOOD MAN.
YOU REALLY THINK SO?
YES, I DO.
WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF?
NOTHING.
I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE
THIS IS HAPPENING.
WELL, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THE
ROMANCE OF THE CENTURY, BIRKOFF.
(Abby) BUT IN THIS
PLACE WE SHOULD TAKE
WHATEVER PLEASURE WE CAN.
WHEN WE CAN.
SECTION'S IN FOR
A LITTLE SURPRISE.
THE FIRST OF MANY.
WALTER, I'VE GOT TO TALK TO YOU.
I'M LISTENING.
I THINK I LOVE NIKITA.
YEAH, EVERYONE LOVES NIKITA.
NO, NO, NO. I MEAN, REALLY LOVE.
AND I THINK IT'S MUTUAL.
NIKITA'S FALLING FOR YOU?
SHE CAME ON TO ME
IN THE READY ROOM.
WHAT? SHE STROKED YOUR HAIR?
WE MADE LOVE.
I DON'T BELIEVE IT.
NEITHER DO I,
BUT IT HAPPENED. I SWEAR IT.
SHE
CAME ON TO YOU?
YEAH.
AT FIRST SHE TRIED TO
MAKE LIKE IT WAS NO BIG DEAL,
BUT IT GOT PRETTY INTENSE.
YOU THINK I OUGHT
TO SUGGEST MOVING IN
OR IS IT TOO EARLY? MAYBE
I SHOULD JUST PLAY IT COOL,
SEE HOW IT PLAYS OUT.
I... I THINK THAT YOU REALLY
DON'T NEED ANY ADVICE FROM ME.
YOU SEEM TO BE DOING
FINE ON YOUR OWN.
JUST FOLLOW YOUR INSTINCTS.
THAT'S GOOD.
FOLLOW MY INSTINCTS.
THANKS, WALTER.
(Operations) WE TRACED THE
SUPPLIES OF THE RED CELL KITCHEN
TO A MIDDLEMAN
NAMED KLAUS HONIG.
WE'VE LOCATED HIM ON
THE OUTSKIRTS OF BERLIN,
IN THIS APARTMENT.
SIMS INDICATE A CHANCE
OF HEAVY SECURITY,
SO WE'RE SENDING A FULL TEAM.
PICK UP YOUR
PROFILES FROM BIRKOFF.
YOU LEAVE IN AN HOUR.
WHAT?
WHY ARE YOU WEARING GLASSES?
MY EYES,
THEY'VE BEEN A LITTLE
BIT SENSITIVE LATELY.
MAYBE YOU NEED SOME REST.
AFTER THE MISSION I'LL GET SOME.
THANKS.
(man in wheelchair)
SOMETHING'S WRONG.
ABBY'S DOING SOMETHING WRONG.
NO.
HE SEEMS EDGY.
THAT'S JUST THE WAY HE IS.
SURPRISED YOU PUT UP WITH IT.
PERHAPS HE HAS HIDDEN CHARMS.
PREPARE A COUNTER TO
THEIR MISSION PROFILE.
BIRKOFF, WHERE'S THE SECURITY?
I DON'T SHOW ANYTHING
ON THE PERIMETER.
(Michael) THAT
GOES AGAINST INTEL.
I'M WORKING ON IT.
IT'S EMPTY.
ARE YOU CERTAIN?
I'VE SCANNED EVERYTHING.
(Michael) BIRKOFF,
THE PLACE IS CLEAN.
THIS DOESN'T ADD UP.
GET OUT OF THERE, FAST.
[guns firing]
[groaning]
SECTION ONE HAS PLAYED
CAT AND MOUSE MANY TIMES,
BUT IT'S NOT OFTEN THEY'VE
TAKEN THE PART OF THE MOUSE.
MY GUESS IS THEY'RE
NOT ENJOYING IT.
[guns firing]
THEY HAD A CLEAR SHOT AT HER.
SHE WAS LUCKY.
THERE IS AN ALTERNATE
EXPLANATION.
IF SHE WANTED TO BETRAY US,
SHE WOULD HAVE
MADE IT LESS OBVIOUS.
YOU'RE PROBABLY RIGHT.
PUT A WATCH ON HER, MICHAEL.
YOU CAN GO.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
IS SOMEONE SENDING US A MESSAGE?
IT'S UNCLEAR,
BUT WHOEVER WE'RE UP AGAINST
APPEARS TO KNOW US WELL.
DESIGNATE THIS
AS A TOP PRIORITY.
PUT THE BEST
PEOPLE WE HAVE ON IT.
THAT WILL WEAKEN US ELSEWHERE.
I DON'T CARE.
WE HAVE TO GET TO
THE BOTTOM OF IT.
OH, AND JUST IN CASE,
PUT A WATCH ON MICHAEL.
WE NEED TO TALK.
ALL RIGHT.
NOT HERE.
LEVEL 4 IN 15 MINUTES.
(man in wheelchair)
WHAT DOES HE WANT?
I DON'T KNOW.
TAKE A GUESS.
I CAN'T.
WE JUST HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE.
IF YOU'VE DONE SOMETHING
TO JEOPARDIZE MY OPERATION...
NO. I WANT MICHAEL TO LIVE.
THEN I SUGGEST YOU HANDLE THE
NEXT FEW MOMENTS VERY CAREFULLY.
NIKITA.
HELLO, BIRKOFF.
HAD A GREAT TIME
THE OTHER NIGHT.
GREAT.
YOU WANT TO GRAB SOME DINNER?
I'M BEAT. NO, THANKS.
I COULD BRING SOMETHIN' OVER.
SOME OTHER TIME.
MAYBE JUST A DRINK OR SOMETHIN'?
SORRY, BIRKOFF.
[inaudible]
THEY'VE PUT A WATCH ON YOU,
PROBABLY ON ME AS WELL.
BECAUSE WE SURVIVED THE MISSION?
YES.
[sighing]
ALL THE OTHER
OPERATIVES SHIELDED ME.
YOU WEREN'T HIT EVEN
AFTER THEY WENT DOWN.
AND THEY DIDN'T FIRE
AT THE VAN, NOT ONCE.
MICHAEL, NO MATTER
HOW BAD IT SEEMS,
[sighs]
WE'RE INNOCENT.
SOONER OR LATER THAT
WILL BECOME CLEAR.
NOW WHAT?
IT'S A NIGHT OFF.
WE USUALLY GET TOGETHER.
THEN WHY DOESN'T
HE SAY SOMETHING?
BECAUSE HE LIKES ME
TO MAKE THE FIRST MOVE.
THEN MAKE IT.
WE'LL TALK LATER.
WHAT ABOUT TONIGHT?
TONIGHT?
WELL, WE'RE BOTH OFF.
UNLESS OF COURSE,
YOU'RE NOT IN THE MOOD.
HOW DO YOU FEEL?
MISSIONS HAVE GONE BAD BEFORE.
AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED,
TONIGHT SHOULD BE
LIKE ANY OTHER NIGHT
BETWEEN THE TWO OF US.
YES, YOU'RE RIGHT.
MY PLACE, AN HOUR?
I'LL BE THERE.
WELL DONE.
WINE.
OPENER?
LEFT OF THE STOVE, TOP CUPBOARD.
[knocking on door]
HE'S HERE.
I HOPE THIS WON'T BE
TOO PAINFUL FOR YOU.

HI.

[phone ringing]
YES.
(man) JACQUES.
WE HAVE TO GO.
(Operations) MICHAEL.
I'LL CATCH UP WITH YOU.
HI. WHAT'S GOIN' ON?
OH, A FLASH MISSION.
THEY'VE LOCATED KLAUS HONIG.
FLASH MISSION?
YEAH.
FLASH MISSION.
RIGHT.
WHAT IS A FLASH MISSION?
SHORT-NOTICE PROTOCOL.
MEANING?
MISSION PROFILES ARE
DISTRIBUTED ON THE WAY OUT.
SO THERE'S NO WAY
TO GET ONE IN ADVANCE.
THAT'S RIGHT.
EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT?
EVERYTHING'S FINE.
(Birkoff) MICHAEL,
HOLD FOR CLEARANCE.
WHAT ARE THEY WAITING FOR?
TACTICAL DELAY. IT'S COMMON.
STAND BY
NOW.
WHAT?
[guns firing]
[grunting]
[grunting]
YOU FOUND A WAY TO
LET THEM KNOW. HOW?
DOES IT MATTER?
[snickers] I SUPPOSE NOT.
FINISH IT.
SECTION WILL WANT YOU ALIVE.
YOU PUT ME IN THIS CHAIR.
THE LEAST YOU CAN DO IS SPARE
ME ANY FURTHER HUMILIATION.
NOW FINISH IT.
I'M SORRY.
IT WASN'T REALLY NIKITA.
IT WAS SOME IMPOSTOR.
I HEARD, BUT DON'T FEEL BAD.
SHE FOOLED EVERYBODY.
YEAH.
[sighing]
BUT SHE REALLY FOOLED ME.
I CAUSED A SECURITY BREACH.
YEAH, BUT UNDER THE
CIRCUMSTANCES WHO COULD BLAME YOU?
THEY'LL BLAME ME.
THEY GOING TO CALL YOU IN?
I'M ON MY WAY NOW.
[sighing]
GOOD LUCK.
WHAT DO THEY WANT WITH YOU?
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
BIRKOFF, I'M SORRY. I
DIDN'T HAVE A CHOICE.
YEAH, I KNOW.
WELL, I DON'T THINK IT'S
GOING TO GO TOO BADLY.
THEY SEEM TO BE IN
A FORGIVING MOOD.
I HOPE SO.
NIKITA,
WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN US...
NOTHING HAPPENED
BETWEEN US, BIRKOFF.
IT DID IN A WAY.
I MEAN, YOU WERE ON THE
OTHER END, TALKING TO HER
AND LISTENING, RIGHT?
DID I MAKE A COMPLETE
IDIOT OUT OF MYSELF?
NO, FROM WHAT I COULD TELL,
YOU WERE PRETTY DELICIOUS.
(Operations) BIRKOFF.
SHE WAS CONVINCING.
VERY.
[door opening]
NIKITA,
WOULD YOU LIKE TO STEP INSIDE?
(Nikita) WHAT'S THIS FOR?
THE DEBRIEFING IS OVER.
WE HAVE NO FURTHER USE FOR HER.
I'M NOT IN THE HABIT OF
KILLING PEOPLE IN COLD BLOOD.
IN THIS CASE, YOU MIGHT
WANT TO MAKE AN EXCEPTION.
IN A MANNER OF SPEAKING,
SHE POSSESSED YOU
IN BODY AS WELL AS MIND.
PSYCH PROFILE SUGGESTS THAT BY
KILLING HER I CAN
BEST EXORCIZE HER?
YES.
I DON'T THINK SO.
IF I DO IT INSTEAD, I
THINK YOU'LL REGRET IT
BUT THE CHOICE IS YOURS.
[gun fires]
[woman speaking French]
VISIBLE TO SATELLITE SURVEILLANCE?
CLEARLY VISIBLE.
NOT TOO CLEARLY.
WE DON'T WANT TO TIP OUR HAND.
THERE'LL BE PLENTY OF
PROCESSING TO GET THROUGH.
GOOD.
IF I KNOW SECTION,
THEY'LL TAKE THE BAIT.
THEY'LL HAVE TO.
WHICH LEAVES ONE
LAST DETAIL: ABBY.
SHE'S READY.
SHE'S HAVING TROUBLE

NOT ANYMORE.
AND THAT LAST BIT OF
SURGERY, THE CHEEKBONES.
IT'S PERFECT.
I'D BETTER TAKE A LOOK AT HER.
[beeping]
SEND IN ABBY.
YES, YOU'LL DO VERY NICELY.
[woman speaking French]
[Nikita coughing]
(Operations) WE RECEIVED
PRIORITY INTEL AN HOUR AGO.
A KITCHEN HAS BEEN
LOCATED OUTSIDE GDANSK
ON THE BALTIC SEA.
THEY FURNISH BIOLOGICALS
TO A NUMBER OF
TERRORIST GROUPS
INCLUDING RED CELL.
THEY'VE BEEN CONNECTED TO
4 STRIKES IN THE LAST MONTH.
WHO'S THEIR SPONSOR?
SO FAR, ALL WE KNOW
IS IT'S A NEW PLAYER.
WE'RE STILL SEARCHING
FOR RELIABLE INTEL.
(Birkoff) THE LAB IS LOCATED

COMSAT PHOTOS SHOW

AMBUSH.
[machine gun firing]
[groaning]
THEY CUT OFF OUR RETREAT.
[explosion]
(man in wheelchair) PUT THIS ON.
GOOD. YOU LOOK AT ME.
YOU REALIZE IT'S IMPORTANT
TO KNOW THE INQUISITOR.
I'M TOLD THAT EVERYBODY'S
AFRAID OF SOMETHIN',
SOMETHING WHICH CAUSES
AN EMOTION BEYOND TERROR.
A HORROR THAT DEFIES

THEY'LL KNOW SOMETHING'S WRONG.
THAT WON'T HAPPEN.
I'VE CALCULATED THEIR
MEAN SUCCESS RATE.
THAT WON'T CHANGE.
THEY'LL ONLY FAIL
WHEN I WANT THEM TO.
SO YOU'VE THOUGHT OF EVERYTHING.
I'VE NO DOUBT THERE'LL
BE THE ODD TIGHT SPOT,
BUT I'M CONFIDENT THAT
YOU'LL GET US THROUGH
ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.
THERE WAS NO RESISTANCE
ON THE PERIMETER.
NO.
NONE INSIDE UNTIL THE
MISSION WAS ALMOST COMPLETE?
(Abby) THAT'S RIGHT.
WHERE DID THE
HOSTILES COME FROM?
MOST LIKELY FROM
ABANDONED AIR DUCTS.
YOU DIDN'T CHECK FOR
THOSE ON THE WAY IN?
INTEL PROVIDED NO
INDICATION OF THEM.
SO THE PROBLEM WAS FAULTY INTEL.
INCOMPLETE INTEL.
YOU'RE ON CLOSE QUARTER
STANDBY FOR THE NEXT 12 HOURS.
THAT'S ALL.
YOU THINK THE LAB WAS A DECOY?
THE RESISTANCE WAS
TOKEN UNTIL THE AMBUSH.
IT'S A POSSIBILITY.
STILL IN THE ABSENCE
OF HARD EVIDENCE,
WE HAVE TO ACCEPT
THE MISSION OBJECTIVE
AS ACCOMPLISHED AND
MOVE ON TO PHASE 2.
WHAT DOES WALTER SAY?
HE RAN ABSORPTION
TESTS ON THE SAMPLES.
HE'S TRACING THEM NOW.
LET ME KNOW IF HE FINDS
A POTENTIAL SUPPLIER.
WE HAVE TO FIND OUT
WHO'S BEHIND THIS.
CLOSE QUARTER STANDBY.
THAT MEANS THERE'S GOING
TO BE A FOLLOW-UP MISSION.
THAT'S RIGHT.
SPLENDID.
HOW LONG DO WE HAVE?
A FEW HOURS.
GUIDE ABBY TO YOUR WORKSTATION.
THIS IS USELESS. IT'S
FAR TOO GENERAL.
I NEED THE SPECIFIC
MISSION PROFILE.
GO DEEPER INTO THE TREE.
TYPE IN "STAR-4-4,
BACKSLASH-ZERO."
[beeping]
NOW WHAT?
NOW NOTHING. I
DON'T HAVE ACCESS.
I DON'T BELIEVE YOU.
THE PROFILE WON'T BE RELEASED
UNTIL AN HOUR
BEFORE THE MISSION.
THAT'LL BE TOO LATE.
THERE'S NOTHING THAT I CAN DO.
HOW VERY SAD FOR MICHAEL.
THERE MIGHT BE A WAY.
I'M IN THE READY ROOM.
DOWNLOAD THE PROFILE
ONCE THE CYCLE'S COMPLETE.
(woman) OK. WE'RE ON IT.
[sighing]
OH, I'M SORRY. DIDN'T
MEAN TO WAKE YOU.
IT'S OK. I WASN'T ASLEEP.
YOU'RE WORKING TOO HARD.
TOO HARD AND NOT VERY WELL.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
THOSE OPERATIVES WE
LOST ON YOUR MISSION...
THAT WAS MY FAULT.
(Abby) OR MINE.
YOU WERE SURPRISED IN THE FIELD.
I'M SUPPOSED TO PREVENT THAT.
[sighing]
YOU'RE A GOOD MAN, BIRKOFF.
ROLL OVER.
ROLL OVER.
NOW.
(man in wheelchair)
GOOD. WE'VE GOT IT.
KEEP HIM BUSY FOR
ANOTHER 5 MINUTES.
THAT FEELS GREAT.
(Birkoff) WHAT WAS THAT FOR?
I TOLD YOU. YOU'RE A GOOD MAN.
YOU REALLY THINK SO?
YES, I DO.
WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF?
NOTHING.
I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE
THIS IS HAPPENING.
WELL, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THE
ROMANCE OF THE CENTURY, BIRKOFF.
(Abby) BUT IN THIS
PLACE WE SHOULD TAKE
WHATEVER PLEASURE WE CAN.
WHEN WE CAN.
SECTION'S IN FOR
A LITTLE SURPRISE.
THE FIRST OF MANY.
WALTER, I'VE GOT TO TALK TO YOU.
I'M LISTENING.
I THINK I LOVE NIKITA.
YEAH, EVERYONE LOVES NIKITA.
NO, NO, NO. I MEAN, REALLY LOVE.
AND I THINK IT'S MUTUAL.
NIKITA'S FALLING FOR YOU?
SHE CAME ON TO ME
IN THE READY ROOM.
WHAT? SHE STROKED YOUR HAIR?
WE MADE LOVE.
I DON'T BELIEVE IT.
NEITHER DO I,
BUT IT HAPPENED. I SWEAR IT.
SHE
CAME ON TO YOU?
YEAH.
AT FIRST SHE TRIED TO
MAKE LIKE IT WAS NO BIG DEAL,
BUT IT GOT PRETTY INTENSE.
YOU THINK I OUGHT
TO SUGGEST MOVING IN
OR IS IT TOO EARLY? MAYBE
I SHOULD JUST PLAY IT COOL,
SEE HOW IT PLAYS OUT.
I... I THINK THAT YOU REALLY
DON'T NEED ANY ADVICE FROM ME.
YOU SEEM TO BE DOING
FINE ON YOUR OWN.
JUST FOLLOW YOUR INSTINCTS.
THAT'S GOOD.
FOLLOW MY INSTINCTS.
THANKS, WALTER.
(Operations) WE TRACED THE
SUPPLIES OF THE RED CELL KITCHEN
TO A MIDDLEMAN
NAMED KLAUS HONIG.
WE'VE LOCATED HIM ON
THE OUTSKIRTS OF BERLIN,
IN THIS APARTMENT.
SIMS INDICATE A CHANCE
OF HEAVY SECURITY,
SO WE'RE SENDING A FULL TEAM.
PICK UP YOUR
PROFILES FROM BIRKOFF.
YOU LEAVE IN AN HOUR.
WHAT?
WHY ARE YOU WEARING GLASSES?
MY EYES,
THEY'VE BEEN A LITTLE
BIT SENSITIVE LATELY.
MAYBE YOU NEED SOME REST.
AFTER THE MISSION I'LL GET SOME.
THANKS.
(man in wheelchair)
SOMETHING'S WRONG.
ABBY'S DOING SOMETHING WRONG.
NO.
HE SEEMS EDGY.
THAT'S JUST THE WAY HE IS.
SURPRISED YOU PUT UP WITH IT.
PERHAPS HE HAS HIDDEN CHARMS.
PREPARE A COUNTER TO
THEIR MISSION PROFILE.
BIRKOFF, WHERE'S THE SECURITY?
I DON'T SHOW ANYTHING
ON THE PERIMETER.
(Michael) THAT
GOES AGAINST INTEL.
I'M WORKING ON IT.
IT'S EMPTY.
ARE YOU CERTAIN?
I'VE SCANNED EVERYTHING.
(Michael) BIRKOFF,
THE PLACE IS CLEAN.
THIS DOESN'T ADD UP.
GET OUT OF THERE, FAST.
[guns firing]
[groaning]
SECTION ONE HAS PLAYED
CAT AND MOUSE MANY TIMES,
BUT IT'S NOT OFTEN THEY'VE
TAKEN THE PART OF THE MOUSE.
MY GUESS IS THEY'RE
NOT ENJOYING IT.
[guns firing]
THEY HAD A CLEAR SHOT AT HER.
SHE WAS LUCKY.
THERE IS AN ALTERNATE
EXPLANATION.
IF SHE WANTED TO BETRAY US,
SHE WOULD HAVE
MADE IT LESS OBVIOUS.
YOU'RE PROBABLY RIGHT.
PUT A WATCH ON HER, MICHAEL.
YOU CAN GO.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
IS SOMEONE SENDING US A MESSAGE?
IT'S UNCLEAR,
BUT WHOEVER WE'RE UP AGAINST
APPEARS TO KNOW US WELL.
DESIGNATE THIS
AS A TOP PRIORITY.
PUT THE BEST
PEOPLE WE HAVE ON IT.
THAT WILL WEAKEN US ELSEWHERE.
I DON'T CARE.
WE HAVE TO GET TO
THE BOTTOM OF IT.
OH, AND JUST IN CASE,
PUT A WATCH ON MICHAEL.
WE NEED TO TALK.
ALL RIGHT.
NOT HERE.
LEVEL 4 IN 15 MINUTES.
(man in wheelchair)
WHAT DOES HE WANT?
I DON'T KNOW.
TAKE A GUESS.
I CAN'T.
WE JUST HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE.
IF YOU'VE DONE SOMETHING
TO JEOPARDIZE MY OPERATION...
NO. I WANT MICHAEL TO LIVE.
THEN I SUGGEST YOU HANDLE THE
NEXT FEW MOMENTS VERY CAREFULLY.
NIKITA.
HELLO, BIRKOFF.
HAD A GREAT TIME
THE OTHER NIGHT.
GREAT.
YOU WANT TO GRAB SOME DINNER?
I'M BEAT. NO, THANKS.
I COULD BRING SOMETHIN' OVER.
SOME OTHER TIME.
MAYBE JUST A DRINK OR SOMETHIN'?
SORRY, BIRKOFF.
[inaudible]
THEY'VE PUT A WATCH ON YOU,
PROBABLY ON ME AS WELL.
BECAUSE WE SURVIVED THE MISSION?
YES.
[sighing]
ALL THE OTHER
OPERATIVES SHIELDED ME.
YOU WEREN'T HIT EVEN
AFTER THEY WENT DOWN.
AND THEY DIDN'T FIRE
AT THE VAN, NOT ONCE.
MICHAEL, NO MATTER
HOW BAD IT SEEMS,
[sighs]
WE'RE INNOCENT.
SOONER OR LATER THAT
WILL BECOME CLEAR.
NOW WHAT?
IT'S A NIGHT OFF.
WE USUALLY GET TOGETHER.
THEN WHY DOESN'T
HE SAY SOMETHING?
BECAUSE HE LIKES ME
TO MAKE THE FIRST MOVE.
THEN MAKE IT.
WE'LL TALK LATER.
WHAT ABOUT TONIGHT?
TONIGHT?
WELL, WE'RE BOTH OFF.
UNLESS OF COURSE,
YOU'RE NOT IN THE MOOD.
HOW DO YOU FEEL?
MISSIONS HAVE GONE BAD BEFORE.
AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED,
TONIGHT SHOULD BE
LIKE ANY OTHER NIGHT
BETWEEN THE TWO OF US.
YES, YOU'RE RIGHT.
MY PLACE, AN HOUR?
I'LL BE THERE.
WELL DONE.
WINE.
OPENER?
LEFT OF THE STOVE, TOP CUPBOARD.
[knocking on door]
HE'S HERE.
I HOPE THIS WON'T BE
TOO PAINFUL FOR YOU.
HI.
HI.

[phone ringing]
YES.
(man) JACQUES.
WE HAVE TO GO.
(Operations) MICHAEL.
I'LL CATCH UP WITH YOU.
HI. WHAT'S GOIN' ON?
OH, A FLASH MISSION.
THEY'VE LOCATED KLAUS HONIG.
FLASH MISSION?
YEAH.
FLASH MISSION.
RIGHT.
WHAT IS A FLASH MISSION?
SHORT-NOTICE PROTOCOL.
MEANING?
MISSION PROFILES ARE
DISTRIBUTED ON THE WAY OUT.
SO THERE'S NO WAY
TO GET ONE IN ADVANCE.
THAT'S RIGHT.
EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT?
EVERYTHING'S FINE.
(Birkoff) MICHAEL,
HOLD FOR CLEARANCE.
WHAT ARE THEY WAITING FOR?
TACTICAL DELAY. IT'S COMMON.
STAND BY
NOW.
WHAT?
[guns firing]
[grunting]
[grunting]
YOU FOUND A WAY TO
LET THEM KNOW. HOW?
DOES IT MATTER?
[snickers] I SUPPOSE NOT.
FINISH IT.
SECTION WILL WANT YOU ALIVE.
YOU PUT ME IN THIS CHAIR.
THE LEAST YOU CAN DO IS SPARE
ME ANY FURTHER HUMILIATION.
NOW FINISH IT.
I'M SORRY.
IT WASN'T REALLY NIKITA.
IT WAS SOME IMPOSTOR.
I HEARD, BUT DON'T FEEL BAD.
SHE FOOLED EVERYBODY.
YEAH.
[sighing]
BUT SHE REALLY FOOLED ME.
I CAUSED A SECURITY BREACH.
YEAH, BUT UNDER THE
CIRCUMSTANCES WHO COULD BLAME YOU?
THEY'LL BLAME ME.
THEY GOING TO CALL YOU IN?
I'M ON MY WAY NOW.
[sighing]
GOOD LUCK.
WHAT DO THEY WANT WITH YOU?
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
BIRKOFF, I'M SORRY. I
DIDN'T HAVE A CHOICE.
YEAH, I KNOW.
WELL, I DON'T THINK IT'S
GOING TO GO TOO BADLY.
THEY SEEM TO BE IN
A FORGIVING MOOD.
I HOPE SO.
NIKITA,
WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN US...
NOTHING HAPPENED
BETWEEN US, BIRKOFF.
IT DID IN A WAY.
I MEAN, YOU WERE ON THE
OTHER END, TALKING TO HER
AND LISTENING, RIGHT?
DID I MAKE A COMPLETE
IDIOT OUT OF MYSELF?
NO, FROM WHAT I COULD TELL,
YOU WERE PRETTY DELICIOUS.
(Operations) BIRKOFF.
SHE WAS CONVINCING.
VERY.
[door opening]
NIKITA,
WOULD YOU LIKE TO STEP INSIDE?
(Nikita) WHAT'S THIS FOR?
THE DEBRIEFING IS OVER.
WE HAVE NO FURTHER USE FOR HER.
I'M NOT IN THE HABIT OF
KILLING PEOPLE IN COLD BLOOD.
IN THIS CASE, YOU MIGHT
WANT TO MAKE AN EXCEPTION.
IN A MANNER OF SPEAKING,
SHE POSSESSED YOU
IN BODY AS WELL AS MIND.
PSYCH PROFILE SUGGESTS THAT BY
KILLING HER I CAN
BEST EXORCIZE HER?
YES.
I DON'T THINK SO.
IF I DO IT INSTEAD, I
THINK YOU'LL REGRET IT
BUT THE CHOICE IS YOURS.
