La Femme Nikita (1997–2001): Season 4, Episode 1 - Getting Out of Reverse - full transcript
Michael discovers that Madeline had Nikita "adjusted" in order to eliminate her emotions and keep her under strict control. Fearing this process will be used on everyone in Section One, Michael attempts to find the man who created...
(Madeline) PREVIOUSLY
ON LA FEMME NIKITA.
[whispering] WE HAVE ONE HOUR.
MICHAEL AND NIKITA ARE
HAVING OUTSIDE CONTACT.
I DON'T SEE HOW A RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN 2 OPERATIVES CAN BE DANGEROUS.
MICHAEL, WE'RE
PLAYING WITH FIRE.
DENY EVERYTHING.
I THINK WE SHOULD PROCEED
WITH OUR ORIGINAL PLAN.
IT'S DANGEROUS.
THEN PROCEED WITH CAUTION.
MADELINE?
WHENEVER YOUR LAST
MEETING WITH MICHAEL WAS,
I HOPE YOU MADE THE MOST OF IT.
I DON'T LOVE YOU ANYMORE.
(Madeline) IT'S TIME TO
PUT NIKITA TO THE TEST.
DO YOU THINK IT'S PREMATURE?
NO.
ENOUGH TIME HAS PASSED.
WHAT ABOUT HER INTERACTIONS?
SHE WILL NO LONGER BE CAPABLE
OF FORMING AN EMOTIONAL BOND
WITH ANYONE.
WHAT ABOUT PREVIOUS TIES?
(Madeline) MICHAEL
MEANS NOTHING TO HER.
NOT ANYMORE.
SHE'S A PERFECT ROBOT.
[grunting]
[Michael grunting]
[coughing]
COMMITTED TOO SOON.
WHY DO YOU SAY THAT?
YOU ALREADY HAD TURNED LEFT...
I'M SORRY. WHAT DID YOU
THINK, WE WERE TAKING A BREAK?
YOU CHANGED YOUR STYLE.
TO IMPROVE MY TECHNIQUE.
ONLY YOUR MOVES.
WHAT ELSE IS THERE?
[panting]
COMES FROM INSIDE.
YOU ALL RIGHT?
[whispering] THEY'RE
WATCHING US.
I KNOW.
[woman speaking French]
[grunting]
[cell phone ringing]
YEAH.
(Michael) JOSEPHINE.
[man groaning]
HELLO.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
I THINK I JUST SOILED A
NEW PAIR OF SKIVVIES.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
CAME BY FOR A CUP OF SUGAR.
HOW DID YOU GET THE
KEY TO MY APARTMENT?
OH, DO WE HAVE TO DO THIS,
CUPCAKE? WE WERE MATES.
IT'S WAY PAST THE
THIRD DEGREE, ALL RIGHT?
ALL RIGHT.
[panting]
YOU GAVE ME ONE WHEN YOU
WENT TO AFRICA, REMEMBER?
YOU ASKED ME TO
WATER YOUR PLANTS.
I MADE A COPY.
YOU'VE GOT SUCH SCRUMPTIOUS
MUNCHIES IN YOUR... IN YOUR FRIDGE.
GIVE ME THE KEY.
OH.
OH, LOVELY. LOOK AT THIS.
I TREAT THEM LIKE THEY'RE
MY OWN LITTLE SEEDLINGS.
YOU TURN THE PLACE INTO A
HORTICULTURAL CEMETERY.
THIS IS BAD KARMA.
[gun cocks]
GET WHAT YOU NEED AND LEAVE.
HEY, MICHAEL. WHAT DO YOU NEED?
HAVE YOU TALKED
TO NIKITA LATELY?
NO, I SAW HER COME IN.
SHE DIDN'T STOP BY. YOU
KNOW SHE ALWAYS DOES.
FOR GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS.
DON'T MEAN TO MAKE YOU JEALOUS.
TALK TO HER.
ABOUT WHAT?
LISTEN TO HER VOICE.
LOOK IN HER EYES.
I DON'T GET YOU, MICHAEL.
JUST TALK TO HER.
(Operations) WE'VE
JUST BEEN INFORMED
THAT ONE OF OUR REMOTE CELL TEAMS
IN LATVIA WAS TARGETED BY NATIONALISTS.
THE TEAM WAS WIPED OUT
EXCEPT FOR IRINA KERENSKY,
A LEVEL-4 OPERATIVE.
(Birkoff) SHE'S BEING
HELD HOSTAGE.
SHE WAS AT A HIGH LEVEL BRIEFING
JUST HOURS BEFORE THE GRAB.
IF SHE'S STILL ALIVE, WHAT SHE
KNOWS COULD DO A LOT OF DAMAGE.
SHE'S BEEN TRAINED TO
RESIST INTERROGATION,
BUT WE DON'T KNOW HOW
LONG SHE CAN HOLD OUT.
(Operations) WE
HAVE COORDINATES.
BIRKOFF WILL FINISH
YOUR PREP IN SYSTEMS.
GO GET HER.
[guard speaking Russian]
[woman speaking Russian]
[in English] PULL OVER THERE.
WE HAVE TO CHECK IT OUT.
[manhole cover clanking]
I'M IN.
(Michael) PROCEED EAST
THROUGH THE CENTRAL TUNNEL.
MAIN ACCESS IS 50 METERS AHEAD.
SUB-BASEMENT VENT.
UNMONITORED. NO HOSTILES.
[bird cawing]
[beeping]
OK, NIKITA, YOU SHOULD SEE
THE VENT AFTER YOU TURN.
GOT IT.
(Nikita) I'M AT SECOND MARK.
ESTIMATE 2 MINUTES TO TARGET.
PERIMETER TEAMS,
HOLD YOUR POSITIONS.
NIKITA, HOSTILES STILL IN PLACE.
NIKITA, YOU'RE CLEAR TO TARGET.
[man chattering]
[man speaking Russian]
[footsteps approaching]
[speaking Russian]
[grunts]
MICHAEL, SHE'S HERE.
WHAT ABOUT HOSTILES?
I TOOK OUT 3. I DIDN'T
SEE ANYONE ELSE.
AND KERENSKY?
STILL ALIVE.
IT LOOKS LIKE REMOTE
INTERROGATION.
SHE'S BEHIND BULLETPROOF GLASS.
NIKITA, HOW DOES IT LOOK?
SHE CLAIMS SHE HASN'T
GIVEN ANY INFORMATION YET.
WHAT'S YOUR RECOMMENDATION?
IF WE INCINERATE, WE'LL
HAVE 100% CONTAINMENT.
[computer beeping]
DESTROYING AN EMBASSY IS SEVERE.
THERE WILL BE
FALLOUT FOR MONTHS.
TAKING SECTION OPERATIVES IS SEVERE.
I WANT OUR ENEMIES TO KNOW THAT.
DO YOU THINK SHE'LL DO IT?
THERE'S ONLY ONE
WAY TO FIND OUT.
OK, NIKITA. REQUEST FOR
INCINERATION APPROVED.
SET THE SEQUENCE TO 30 SECONDS.
ALL TEAMS EVACUATE.
NIKITA, STAND BY.
I'M WORKING ON A CONTINGENCY.
[inaudible]
30 SECONDS.
NIKITA, CAN YOU HEAR ME?
THERE ARE CHILDREN
ON THE PREMISES.
I HEAR YOU, MICHAEL. 25 SECONDS.
[alarm ringing]
[woman speaking Russian]
RUN, RUN.
[woman screaming]
[man shouting]
NOW WE KNOW.
[keyboard clicking]
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
I WANT SOME ANSWERS.
WE HAVE 2 MINUTES.
16 PEOPLE DIED IN THE
EMBASSY EXPLOSION.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
THEY'RE WATCHING ME, MICHAEL.
[ambulance siren wailing]
I HAD TO DO IT.
KILL PEOPLE?
I KNEW YOU'D ACTIVATE THE ALARM.
I REDUCED THE IMPACT
CHARGE IN THE DEVICE.
I TRIED TO PLACE IT SOMEWHERE
THERE'D BE MINIMAL DAMAGE.
I HAD NO CHOICE.
WHY?
THEY'RE TRYING TO REPROGRAM ME.
I HAD TO LET THEM
THINK THEY'D SUCCEEDED.
WHEN DID IT START?
THE GENEFEX MISSION.
YOU WEREN'T AT THE
RENDEZVOUS POINT.
BIRKOFF SENT ME UPSTAIRS.
MADELINE WAS WAITING.
I WAS TRANQUED.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY
DID, BUT WHEN I AWOKE...
I KNEW THEY'D BEEN
MESSING WITH MY MIND.
THEY TRIED TO STRIP
ME OF MY HUMANITY.
NO FEELINGS.
NO CONNECTION WITH ANYONE.
WHY DIDN'T YOU LET ME HELP YOU?
THERE WAS TOO MUCH SURVEILLANCE.
BELIEVE ME.
BELIEVE ME.
I HAVE TO GO.
[beeping]
(Nikita) TRIED TO STRIP
ME OF MY HUMANITY.
NO FEELINGS.
NO CONNECTION WITH ANYONE.
(Michael) WHY DIDN'T
YOU LET ME HELP YOU?
THERE WAS TOO MUCH SURVEILLANCE.
NO FEELINGS.
NO CONNECTION WITH ANYONE.
WE'RE RUNNING REDUNDANCIES.
I GOTTA GET BACK.
I WANT YOU TO RUN AN EYE
ANALYSIS FOR ME, PLEASE.
THAT'S A MONOLUX DISK.
I CAN'T OPEN IT WITHOUT
BEING DETECTED.
RUN IT DURING THE REDUNDANCY
CHECK, WHEN THE SYSTEM SEGREGATES.
IF IT DOESN'T COMPLETE
BY THE TIME I'M DONE,
I GET CAUGHT WITH MY
HAND IN THE COOKIE JAR.
ISN'T THERE SOME OTHER WAY?
NO. IT'S FOR NIKITA.
I'LL SEE WHAT I CAN DO.
QUITE FRANKLY, IT DOESN'T
MAKE SENSE TO ME, GEORGE.
WE GOT TO KERENSKY
BEFORE THERE WAS EXPOSURE.
(Operations) YES.
ALL RIGHT. FINE.
THERE'S A PROBLEM?
HE THINKS THE EMBASSY
WAS BEING USED.
THAT THERE WAS NO ALLIANCE
WITH THE TARGET GROUP.
WHO CARES? THE
MISSION WAS SUCCESSFUL.
HE WON'T LISTEN!
I COULD DO SO MUCH MORE IF
HE WERE OUT OF THE PICTURE.
WE TRIED.
FOR THE TIME BEING,
WE HAVE TO COMPLY.
[beeping]
YES?
(woman) NIKITA IS WAITING.
SEND HER IN.
[door opening]
[door closing]
YES, SIR?
WE WERE PLEASED WITH YOUR
CLARITY IN YESTERDAY'S MISSION.
THANK YOU.
HOW DOES IT FEEL TO
BE BACK IN SECTION?
I FEEL GOOD.
READY.
AND YOUR INTERACTION
WITH OTHERS?
THEY SEEM TO EXPECT
MORE THAN I CARE TO GIVE.
(Madeline) AND WHAT DO
YOU THINK THAT MIGHT BE?
THE EMOTIONAL COMPONENT.
LIKE WE TALKED
ABOUT WITH MICHAEL.
YES.
IT'S UNNECESSARY FOR US.
BUT THEY NEED IT.
MMM.
WELL, I COULD SMILE MORE.
BEGIN WITH WALTER.
[clicking]
[metallic clinking]
[sighs]
OH, JEEZ. YOU SCARED
THE DEVIL OUT OF ME.
I'M SORRY, I JUST
CAME BY TO SAY HELLO.
YOU DID?
YEAH, UH, I... I WANTED TO
APOLOGIZE FOR YESTERDAY.
AFTER THE BRIEFING, I
DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO TALK.
YEAH, WHAT WAS ALL THAT ABOUT?
WELL, YOU KNOW, I HAVEN'T
BEEN OUT FOR A WHILE,
AND THEY'RE WATCHING
ME PRETTY CLOSELY. I...
I DON'T WANT TO MESS UP.
IF YOU ASK ME,
YOU'RE GOING A LITTLE TOO FAR
OUT OF YOUR WAY TO PLEASE THEM.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
YESTERDAY YOU...
YOU TOOK OUT HALF AN EMBASSY.
I KNOW.
IT WAS HORRIBLE.
AH, NO. IT WAS A TOUGH CALL.
I KNOW.
HEY, COME HERE. COME HERE.
IT'S OK, SUGAR. IT'S OK.
THANKS, WALTER.
ANY TIME.
EVERYTHING OK WITH YOU?
ME?
I CAN'T COMPLAIN.
BUILDING BOMBS.
CHASING GIRLS. YOU KNOW ME.
YEAH.
YEAH, I KNOW YOU.
[beeping]
(Birkoff) MICHAEL,
YOU WERE RIGHT.
THE IRREGULARITIES IN
NIKITA'S EYE MOVEMENT
SUGGESTED NEURAL ENGINEERING.
4 YEARS AGO, OPERATIONS
APPROVED A RESEARCH PROPOSAL
BASED ON THE WORK OF A
NEUROBIOLOGIST NAMED ROSS GELMAN.
I DON'T KNOW IF GELMAN'S
METHODS WERE USED ON NIKITA,
BUT IF THEY WERE, I'D LOOK FOR
SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN CLOSE TO HER.
NOT JUST IN SECTION,
BUT AT HOME.
THE PROCESS
REQUIRES MAINTENANCE.
[tires screeching]
MICHAEL, WHAT A
PLEASANT SURPRISE.
MICHAEL, LOVELY TO SEE YOU.
SHALL WE GO TO MY
PLACE FOR A DRINK?
YOU KNOW I'VE GOT A PROBLEM
WITH GUNS. DO YOU MIND?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO NIKITA?
ME? TO NIKITA?
DO YOU THINK I'VE
BEEN ROGERING HER?
MICHAEL! MICHAEL!
ABSOLUTELY NOT. NO!
NO, NO, NO.
YOU GOT IT ALL WRONG.
IT'S NOT THAT I DIDN'T
TRY, OF COURSE.
BEFORE I FOUND OUT
ABOUT THE TWO OF YOU.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
I'M WATERING HER PLANTS.
THEY DO LOOK A BIT THIRSTY.
I GRANT YOU, MAYBE
I WAS SLACKING OFF.
BYE, MICK. WAIT!
WAIT!
I'LL SHOW YOU.
SLOWLY.
VERY SLOWLY.
DON'T ASK ME WHAT IT IS.
WHAT DO YOU DO WITH IT?
I JUST SPLASH A FEW
DROPS ON THE FLOOR.
WHY?
DO YOU KNOW THE
OLD SAW, MICHAEL?
"YOU TELL ME, WE'LL BOTH KNOW."
WHO AT SECTION
ASKED YOU TO DO THIS?
I HAVEN'T A CLUE. IT
WAS DONE ANONYMOUSLY.
LOOK, MATE, I LIKE NIKITA.
THIS HASN'T EXACTLY
BEEN MY FAVORITE DETAIL.
SHE'S CHANGED. SHE HAS.
IT'S GOT SOMETHING
TO DO WITH THAT.
BUT, YOU KNOW, I WASN'T
EXACTLY GIVEN A CHOICE.
MICHAEL, IF YOU TAKE THAT,
THEY WILL FIND OUT AND BLAME ME.
IT'S POSSIBLE.
[door closing]
DID YOU FIND GELMAN?
HE HASN'T SURFACED
SINCE HE WENT ROGUE.
4 MISSIONS HAVE ALREADY GONE
OUT FOR HIS RETRIEVAL. ALL FAILED.
WHY?
I THINK HE TOOK SOME
TECHNOLOGY WITH HIM.
HE'S MONITORING OUR CHANNELS. THAT'S
HOW HE SEES US COMING EVERY TIME.
WHAT'S OUR ESTIMATED
RETURN ON THIS MISSION?
TOMORROW AT 3:00 PM.
MAKE IT 6:00.
HE OWES ME FOR ST.
PETERSBURG. I CAN FIND HIM.
WHAT DO... WHAT DO I SAY?
I'LL LET YOU KNOW ON SITE.
BIRKOFF, I'VE BEEN LOOKING ALL OVER
FOR YOU. YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE ON 5.
I WAS, BUT I HAD TO COME
BACK HERE TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC.
STOCKHOLM JUST
GAVE US A POSITIVE
ON THE GROUP BEHIND
THE KERENSKY KIDNAPPING.
WE'LL GO TOMORROW AS PLANNED.
TELL MICHAEL TO
ASSEMBLE HIS TEAM.
YES, SIR.
MICHAEL.
MULTI-CHANNEL TRANSMITTER WITH
A CONFIDENTIAL BROADCAST BAND.
I DIDN'T SEE THAT
IN THE PROFILE.
IT WASN'T.
(Walter) HERE YOU GO.
REACH OUT AND TOUCH SOMEONE.
[beeping]
[grunting]
[exhaling]
[inhaling]
[computer beeps]
BIRKOFF'S WORKING ON A LOCATION.
GOOD.
WE NEED TO TAKE
CARE OF THIS SOON.
HAVE YOU HEARD FROM GEORGE?
INDIRECTLY.
THEY'RE STILL MONITORING
THIS ONE CLOSER THAN I'D LIKE.
AT LEAST IT KEEPS HIS ATTENTION
AWAY FROM OTHER THINGS.
YES.
I JUST SAW NIKITA.
I HAVE TO SAY
SHE SHOWS NO SIGN OF WEAKNESS.
YOUR METHODS
CONTINUE TO AMAZE ME.
I WISH I WERE AS OPTIMISTIC.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
WE HAD SUCCESS WITH
OUR ORIGINAL SUBJECT,
BUT REMEMBER, THAT WAS
A CONTROLLED SITUATION.
WITH SOMEONE ON THE OUTSIDE, THERE
ARE VARIABLES BEYOND OUR CONTROL.
THAT'S TRUE. BUT SO FAR, SHE SEEMS
TO BE BEHAVING EXACTLY AS PLANNED.
NIKITA IS AN EXCELLENT ACTOR.
WE CAN'T FORGET THAT.
A FEW DAYS AGO, I MIGHT
HAVE SHARED YOUR CONCERN.
BUT NOW, I DON'T EVEN THINK
MICHAEL CAN TOUCH HER.
HEY, MY SUGAR.
[gun cocking]
ONE OF THESE DAYS,
I'M GONNA FIGURE OUT
HOW SOMEONE SO
SWEET CAN BE SO SMART.
DON'T KID YOURSELF.
I'M NOT THAT SWEET.
SEEMS FINE. SAME OLD NIKITA.

BIRKOFF, TARGET
ESCAPED. I'M PURSUING.
RIGHT. I'LL MONITOR.
MICHAEL, YOU HAVE ONE
HOUR TO GET TO GELMAN.
[people chattering]
SORRY I'M LATE.
I WAS JUST MAKING SURE
THE PERIMETER IS CLEAN.
I TOLD YOU I WAS COMING ALONE.
AND YOU'RE A MAN OF YOUR WORD.
IT'S JUST THAT...
WELL, I'VE BEEN DOING
THIS FOR QUITE A WHILE.
IT'S BECOME HABIT.
(Gelman) I WOULDN'T DO
THIS FOR ANYONE ELSE.
I OWE YOU FOR ST. PETERSBURG.
SO, TELL ME. WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?
YOU DID RESEARCH
ON MIND CONTROL,
SEGREGATING CERTAIN
PARTS OF THE BRAIN.
WHAT ABOUT IT?
DOES IT WORK?
I DON'T KNOW.
THEY NEVER TESTED
IT OUTSIDE THE LAB.
YES, THEY DID.
ON WHO?
3 MONTHS AGO, THEY
SUBJECTED SOMEONE ON MY TEAM.
IS IT REVERSIBLE?
YES.
DO YOU HAVE THE PROCESS?
NO.
WHO DOES?
IT'S IN SECTION.
WHERE?
THERE'S ONLY ONE
COPY OF THE PROGRAM.
IT'S ON THE COMPUTER IN THE LAB.
THE ORIGINAL TEST SUBJECT.
WHO WAS THE ORIGINAL SUBJECT?
IF I TELL YOU THAT,
YOU'RE A DEAD MAN.
I WANT TO KNOW.
[inaudible]
THAT'S WHY YOU LEFT.
WOULDN'T YOU?
[gasps]
WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM?
NO PROBLEM.
HE RAN AWAY, AND I
TRACKED HIM DOWN.
HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN
CONTAINED IN THE FIRST PLACE.
MICHAEL'S LYING.
THERE WAS NO ESCAPE. HE CREATED
A SCENARIO TO GIVE HIMSELF TIME.
(Madeline) YES?
HE'S TRYING TO FIND OUT
WHAT'S BEEN DONE TO ME.
IS HE MAKING PROGRESS?
YES, I THINK SO.
WHY DO YOU THINK
HE'S DOING THIS?
BECAUSE HE LOVES ME.
YES.
HE DOES.
THAT'LL BE ALL, NIKITA.
WITH NIKITA'S CORROBORATION,
WE CAN CONVINCE OVERSIGHT
THAT MICHAEL'S GONE TOO FAR.
[beeping]
GET ME GEORGE.
HEY, WALTER, WHAT'S GOING ON?
I DON'T KNOW. BUT
IT LOOKS BAD, AMIGO.
(Birkoff) THEY'RE
GOING AFTER MICHAEL.
SIR, WE'RE HERE. REQUESTING
FINAL CONFIRMATION.

ON LA FEMME NIKITA.

I DON'T SEE HOW A RELATIONSHIP

THEN PROCEED WITH CAUTION.

I DON'T KNOW IF GELMAN'S
METHODS WERE USED ON NIKITA,
BUT IF THEY WERE, I'D LOOK FOR
SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN CLOSE TO HER.
NOT JUST IN SECTION,
BUT AT HOME.
THE PROCESS
REQUIRES MAINTENANCE.
[tires screeching]
MICHAEL, WHAT A
PLEASANT SURPRISE.
MICHAEL, LOVELY TO SEE YOU.
SHALL WE GO TO MY
PLACE FOR A DRINK?
YOU KNOW I'VE GOT A PROBLEM
WITH GUNS. DO YOU MIND?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO NIKITA?
ME? TO NIKITA?
DO YOU THINK I'VE
BEEN ROGERING HER?
MICHAEL! MICHAEL!
ABSOLUTELY NOT. NO!
NO, NO, NO.
YOU GOT IT ALL WRONG.
IT'S NOT THAT I DIDN'T
TRY, OF COURSE.
BEFORE I FOUND OUT
ABOUT THE TWO OF YOU.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
I'M WATERING HER PLANTS.
THEY DO LOOK A BIT THIRSTY.
I GRANT YOU, MAYBE
I WAS SLACKING OFF.
BYE, MICK. WAIT!
WAIT!
I'LL SHOW YOU.
SLOWLY.
VERY SLOWLY.
DON'T ASK ME WHAT IT IS.
WHAT DO YOU DO WITH IT?
I JUST SPLASH A FEW
DROPS ON THE FLOOR.
WHY?
DO YOU KNOW THE
OLD SAW, MICHAEL?
"YOU TELL ME, WE'LL BOTH KNOW."
WHO AT SECTION
ASKED YOU TO DO THIS?
I HAVEN'T A CLUE. IT
WAS DONE ANONYMOUSLY.
LOOK, MATE, I LIKE NIKITA.
THIS HASN'T EXACTLY
BEEN MY FAVORITE DETAIL.
SHE'S CHANGED. SHE HAS.
IT'S GOT SOMETHING
TO DO WITH THAT.
BUT, YOU KNOW, I WASN'T
EXACTLY GIVEN A CHOICE.
MICHAEL, IF YOU TAKE THAT,
THEY WILL FIND OUT AND BLAME ME.
IT'S POSSIBLE.
[door closing]
DID YOU FIND GELMAN?
HE HASN'T SURFACED
SINCE HE WENT ROGUE.
4 MISSIONS HAVE ALREADY GONE
OUT FOR HIS RETRIEVAL. ALL FAILED.
WHY?
I THINK HE TOOK SOME
TECHNOLOGY WITH HIM.
HE'S MONITORING OUR CHANNELS. THAT'S
HOW HE SEES US COMING EVERY TIME.
WHAT'S OUR ESTIMATED
RETURN ON THIS MISSION?
TOMORROW AT 3:00 PM.
MAKE IT 6:00.
HE OWES ME FOR ST.
PETERSBURG. I CAN FIND HIM.
WHAT DO... WHAT DO I SAY?
I'LL LET YOU KNOW ON SITE.
BIRKOFF, I'VE BEEN LOOKING ALL OVER
FOR YOU. YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE ON 5.
I WAS, BUT I HAD TO COME
BACK HERE TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC.
STOCKHOLM JUST
GAVE US A POSITIVE
ON THE GROUP BEHIND
THE KERENSKY KIDNAPPING.
WE'LL GO TOMORROW AS PLANNED.
TELL MICHAEL TO
ASSEMBLE HIS TEAM.
YES, SIR.
MICHAEL.
MULTI-CHANNEL TRANSMITTER WITH
A CONFIDENTIAL BROADCAST BAND.
I DIDN'T SEE THAT
IN THE PROFILE.
IT WASN'T.
(Walter) HERE YOU GO.
REACH OUT AND TOUCH SOMEONE.
[beeping]
[grunting]
[exhaling]
[inhaling]
[computer beeps]
BIRKOFF'S WORKING ON A LOCATION.
GOOD.
WE NEED TO TAKE
CARE OF THIS SOON.
HAVE YOU HEARD FROM GEORGE?
INDIRECTLY.
THEY'RE STILL MONITORING
THIS ONE CLOSER THAN I'D LIKE.
AT LEAST IT KEEPS HIS ATTENTION
AWAY FROM OTHER THINGS.
YES.
I JUST SAW NIKITA.
I HAVE TO SAY
SHE SHOWS NO SIGN OF WEAKNESS.
YOUR METHODS
CONTINUE TO AMAZE ME.
I WISH I WERE AS OPTIMISTIC.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
WE HAD SUCCESS WITH
OUR ORIGINAL SUBJECT,
BUT REMEMBER, THAT WAS
A CONTROLLED SITUATION.
WITH SOMEONE ON THE OUTSIDE, THERE
ARE VARIABLES BEYOND OUR CONTROL.
THAT'S TRUE. BUT SO FAR, SHE SEEMS
TO BE BEHAVING EXACTLY AS PLANNED.
NIKITA IS AN EXCELLENT ACTOR.
WE CAN'T FORGET THAT.
A FEW DAYS AGO, I MIGHT
HAVE SHARED YOUR CONCERN.
BUT NOW, I DON'T EVEN THINK
MICHAEL CAN TOUCH HER.
HEY, MY SUGAR.
[gun cocking]
ONE OF THESE DAYS,
I'M GONNA FIGURE OUT
HOW SOMEONE SO
SWEET CAN BE SO SMART.
DON'T KID YOURSELF.
I'M NOT THAT SWEET.
SEEMS FINE. SAME OLD NIKITA.

BIRKOFF, TARGET
ESCAPED. I'M PURSUING.
RIGHT. I'LL MONITOR.
MICHAEL, YOU HAVE ONE
HOUR TO GET TO GELMAN.
[people chattering]
SORRY I'M LATE.
I WAS JUST MAKING SURE
THE PERIMETER IS CLEAN.
I TOLD YOU I WAS COMING ALONE.
AND YOU'RE A MAN OF YOUR WORD.
IT'S JUST THAT...
WELL, I'VE BEEN DOING
THIS FOR QUITE A WHILE.
IT'S BECOME HABIT.
(Gelman) I WOULDN'T DO
THIS FOR ANYONE ELSE.
I OWE YOU FOR ST. PETERSBURG.
SO, TELL ME. WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?
YOU DID RESEARCH
ON MIND CONTROL,
SEGREGATING CERTAIN
PARTS OF THE BRAIN.
WHAT ABOUT IT?
DOES IT WORK?
I DON'T KNOW.
THEY NEVER TESTED
IT OUTSIDE THE LAB.
YES, THEY DID.
ON WHO?
3 MONTHS AGO, THEY
SUBJECTED SOMEONE ON MY TEAM.
IS IT REVERSIBLE?
YES.
DO YOU HAVE THE PROCESS?
NO.
WHO DOES?
IT'S IN SECTION.
WHERE?
THERE'S ONLY ONE
COPY OF THE PROGRAM.
IT'S ON THE COMPUTER IN THE LAB.
THE ORIGINAL TEST SUBJECT.
WHO WAS THE ORIGINAL SUBJECT?
IF I TELL YOU THAT,
YOU'RE A DEAD MAN.
I WANT TO KNOW.
[inaudible]
THAT'S WHY YOU LEFT.
WOULDN'T YOU?
[gasps]
WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM?
NO PROBLEM.
HE RAN AWAY, AND I
TRACKED HIM DOWN.
HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN
CONTAINED IN THE FIRST PLACE.
MICHAEL'S LYING.
THERE WAS NO ESCAPE. HE CREATED
A SCENARIO TO GIVE HIMSELF TIME.
(Madeline) YES?
HE'S TRYING TO FIND OUT
WHAT'S BEEN DONE TO ME.
IS HE MAKING PROGRESS?
YES, I THINK SO.
WHY DO YOU THINK
HE'S DOING THIS?
BECAUSE HE LOVES ME.
YES.
HE DOES.
THAT'LL BE ALL, NIKITA.
WITH NIKITA'S CORROBORATION,
WE CAN CONVINCE OVERSIGHT
THAT MICHAEL'S GONE TOO FAR.
[beeping]
GET ME GEORGE.
HEY, WALTER, WHAT'S GOING ON?
I DON'T KNOW. BUT
IT LOOKS BAD, AMIGO.
(Birkoff) THEY'RE
GOING AFTER MICHAEL.
SIR, WE'RE HERE. REQUESTING
FINAL CONFIRMATION.
KILL HIM.
