VAN ACCESS
MALE: What the hell took you people so long? You should have been there! C’mon! Move it, move it, move it! We’ve got massive neck and chest wounds. People are dying here! Do something! Come on, let’s go, let’s go! Come on, let’s go! Damn it, move it!
TEAM LEADER: What’s wrong?
DOCTOR: He’s gone.
TEAM LEADER: Bring him back! Damn it! Do something!
DOCTOR: There’s nothing we can do.
DOCTOR: What have we got here? Put some pressure on that.
NIKITA: What happened?
TEAM LEADER: The whole damn thing was bad right from the start. Whoever planned this thing is going to pay. We lost Dechy and Pierce.
NIKITA: Dechy and Pierce?
TEAM LEADER: They shouldn’t have been called.
NIKITA: Well, what were they doing out?
TEAM LEADER: You tell me.
COMM
NIKITA: Where’s Michael?
BIRKOFF: He’s down.
NIKITA: He called me in.
BIRKOFF: Yeah. Something came up. They switched him with Ferrerra.
NIKITA: Is Michael still here?
BIRKOFF: No.
BIRKOFF: We don’t need filters on this data. Just dump it.
OPERATIONS’ LOFT
OPERATIONS: It won’t take long before she puts it together… if she hasn’t already.
MADELINE: She hasn’t.
OPERATIONS: Dechy, Pierce, and Pollack were the only witnesses to her aborted insurrection. Now they’re dead.
MADELINE: No matter. She’s going out this afternoon and that will be the end of it.
OPERATIONS: And Michael’s not a variable?
MADELINE: I’ve made certain that he’s occupied.
OPERATIONS: Has he seen the profile?
MADELINE: Yes. Before we changed it.
OPERATIONS: Good. Just make sure she doesn’t return.
MADELINE: She won’t.
WAR ROOM
OPERATIONS: Oversight has adopted a new strategy to contain the resurgence of terrorist activity. We’ve been told to step up reconnaissance. Each cell will be collecting source material onsite from one of nine anti-Western factions that emerged over the past year. Birkoff.
BIRKOFF: I pulled up data on a group that calls itself ‘New Path’. They’re based in China, capitalized from North Korea. They haven’t mobilized yet, which makes them a perfect target for a pre-emptive.
OPERATIONS: Take what’s there. We’re looking for any kind of a link. Afterwards, roll it up. I want 100% containment. Ferrerra will be leading the team. You’ll be going out this afternoon.
NIKITA: Well, I’ll sanitize the profile and bring it down.
FERREIRA: No. I want you to prep. You’ll be running point.
NIKITA: I’m usually third person.
FERREIRA: Not today.
MUNITIONS
WALTER: Not the usual package today.
NIKITA: I know. I’m on point.
WALTER: Since when?
NIKITA: Where’s Michael?
WALTER: I don’t know. He left this morning. Why?
NIKITA: I need to talk to him.
WALTER: Talk to me.
NIKITA: Walter, not this one.
WALTER: It’s about Adrian, isn’t it?
NIKITA: There were witnesses.
WALTER: "Were?"
NIKITA: Pollock… Pierce… Dechy…
WALTER: Now look, Sugar, just drop it. You’re talking yourself into something that isn’t there. People die every day in this place. If they wanted you gone, you’d be gone!
NIKITA: Maybe not.
FERREIRA: Is everybody checked in?
WALTER: Yeah.
FERREIRA: Let’s go.
FERREIRA: After Nikita finishes the download, create an exit corridor to the north. Make sure you get an “A” and “R” from Birkoff every thirty seconds.
NIKITA: Sure we don’t need field support?
FERREIRA: No, we’re going to run it cold.
SHANGHAI
NIKITA: Ferreira, this isn’t clean.
FERREIRA: No matter. Proceed.
NIKITA: I’m sending.
FERREIRA: Birkoff, we’re getting it.
BIRKOFF: Yeah, this looks like it. Get your people out.
OPERATIONS: Birkoff, I need you up here.
FERREIRA: Nikita, hold position.
NIKITA: Hold position? Why?
FERREIRA: We have to identify some data.
NIKITA: Birkoff, B channel.
NIKITA: Ferreira, why isn’t Birkoff looped in?
FERREIRA: I don’t know. He should be.
NIKITA: Well, he’s not!
FERREIRA: Le me check.
ASIAN: There she is. Get her!
NIKITA: You said it was clean!
FERREIRA: Hey, it’s what they gave me. Come on, let’s get out of here.
MADELINE'S OFFICE
OPERATIONS: Why is she still alive?
MADELINE: Apparently, we trained her too well.
OPERATIONS: George is starting to poke around.
MADELINE: Has he mentioned Adrian?
OPERATIONS: Her name’s come up. He would not be happy if he knew the details.
MADELINE: No, he wouldn’t.
OPERATIONS: Maybe we’re going about this in the wrong way. We should just deal with this internally.
MADELINE: Don’t get impatient. It’s unfortunate, but it was one event. The percentages are on our side. It’ll be take care of soon.
OPERATIONS: I don’t want Michael anywhere near here until it’s done.
MADELINE: He won’t be.
OPERATIONS: What’s going on with Michael’s situation?
MADELINE: He’s getting some positive indications. We should be able to move soon.
VAN ACCESS
FERREIRA: You should go down to Medical, get that checked out.
NIKITA: Thanks, Chris. I will.
FERREIRA: Nikita, I was wrong about the intel. We should have done a walk-through first.
NIKITA: You were just following profile. It wasn’t your fault. I’ll see you later.
FERREIRA: Probably not. We’re going back out.
NIKITA: Oh, I meant, you know, just you and me.
MADELINE: I apologize. We had incorrect information. You should never have gone in there alone.
NIKITA: I haven’t seen Michael in awhile. Has he been reassigned somewhere else?
MADELINE: No.
NIKITA: Where is he?
MADELINE: Home, I think.
NIKITA: Home?
NIKITA'S APARTMENT
BIRKOFF: Dechy and Pierce didn’t die by accident. Neither did Pollack. Neither will you.
NIKITA: So Shanghai wasn’t an accident.
BIRKOFF: No. Operations pulled me away right before everything went down. That’s why you couldn’t reach me.
NIKITA: Is Michael part of this?
BIRKOFF: I don’t think so.
NIKITA: But, you don’t know?
BIRKOFF: I’m not sure. I raked the system. All of it. This is the first time since I’ve been here that Operations and Madeline are vulnerable.
NIKITA: To what?
BIRKOFF: Oversight?
NIKITA: What exactly is Oversight?
BIRKOFF: It’s the Board. The only entity Operations has to answer to.
NIKITA: Can they shut down the Section?
NIKITA: Can they shut down the Section?
BIRKOFF: More like incinerate.
NIKITA: What can we do?
BIRKOFF: The first thing we need to do is figure out how to keep you alive for the next couple of days.
BIRKOFF: If we could find Michael, that would help.
NIKITA: Find Michael? I thought you said he was down.
BIRKOFF: No, they have him parked somewhere. I can’t get an address. Maybe you can.
SYSTEMS
NIKITA: Hey, Chris.
FERREIRA: What’s doing?
NIKITA: Just leafing through some DOD frames. Hey, Chris, do you know the difference between armored transport and a civilian at Mag 25?
FERREIRA: Yeah, why?
NIKITA: Could you check this out?
FERREIRA: Which one?
NIKITA: Right there.
FERREIRA: Civilian.
NIKITA: You sure? What about that shadow?
FERREIRA: Nah. It’s just water.
BIRKOFF: Okay, I’ve got it.
NIKITA: Thanks.
FERREIRA: Uh, still want to get together?
NIKITA: Sure.
FERREIRA: How about tonight?
NIKITA: Oh, I can’t tonight. Tomorrow night?
FERREIRA: Tomorrow then.
NIKITA: Oh, excuse me. Sorry.
SAMUELLE RESIDENCE
ELENA: Yes?
NIKITA: Hey. I’m looking for a friend of mine… I’m not sure this is the right address…
ELENA: Who is it you’re looking for?
ADAM: Mommy, come on. It’s your turn.
ELENA: I’ll be right there, sweetheart.
ELENA: I’m sorry. Who did you want?
NIKITA: No, I’m sorry. I have the wrong house. I’m sorry for bothering you.
ADAM: Daddy, can we go to the park now?
MICHAEL: Later. Let’s finish the game.
NIKITA: Michael.
ELENA: Do you know her, Michael?
NIKITA: Hello.
MICHAEL: Go inside.
MICHAEL: What are you doing here?
NIKITA: I found out where you were and…
MICHAEL: You must have heard from Aunt Reva.
NIKITA: Yeah, I did. She’s great. She sends her love.
MICHAEL: It’s been years.
NIKITA: Yeah.
MICHAEL: This is my wife – Elena.
NIKITA: Nikita.
ELENA: Hello.
MICHAEL: Nikita’s a cousin of sorts. We’re related through my stepfather.
ELENA: Why didn’t you say so! Come in.
NIKITA: Thank you.
MICHAEL: It’s good to see you again.
NIKITA: And, you, too.
ELENA: Please, have a seat.
MICHAEL: Adam, please turn that off and go upstairs.
ADAM: I want to finish.
MICHAEL: Now. Do it now.
ADAM: But, I want to stay with you.
MICHAEL: You can’t. We have company.
ELENA: What’s wrong, Michael? Why can’t he stay down here?
MICHAEL: ‘Cause I want him upstairs.
ELENA: Go upstairs, Sweetheart. We’ll come up in a few minutes.
NIKITA: I didn’t know you had a child, Michael.
MICHAEL: A lot of time has passed.
ELENA: I’m sorry, I haven’t even offered you anything? Are you hungry?
NIKITA: A drink would be fine.
ELENA: Juice, coffee, tea?
NIKITA: Tea would be fine.
ELENA: How about you, Michael?
MICHAEL: Nothing.
MICHAEL: What are you doing here?
NIKITA: Is this for real?
NIKITA: There’s something going on in Section. I need your help.
MICHAEL: What’s the problem?
NIKITA: Pierce and Dechy are dead. Operations is trying to kill me. He wants to wipe out everyone who witnessed Adrian.
MICHAEL: Who do you report to?
NIKITA: Ferreira.
MICHAEL: Are you working him?
NIKITA: Yes.
MICHAEL: When you finish your tea, make an excuse to leave. I’ll send you a contact point.
ELENA: Michael, would you give me a hand, please?
MICHAEL: Of course.
CONTACT POINT
NIKITA: What’s going on with the wife and child?
MICHAEL: We’ll talk about it later. What’s your status?
NIKITA: I’m inside for another day or two.
MICHAEL: You said Pierce and Dechy. What about Pollack?
NIKITA: Dead. Birkoff raked the system. He thinks Operations and Madeline are worried about Oversight.
MICHAEL: What else does Birkoff know?
NIKITA: Nothing more than I know.
MICHAEL: Tell me about Ferreira.
NIKITA: I’m working with him, but I don’t trust him.
MICHAEL: Can you get him out of Section?
NIKITA: Yeah, I can.
MICHAEL: Get him to your apartment. Tell Birkoff to reroute a deep channel.
MADELINE'S OFFICE
OPERATIONS: Madeline, are you there?
MADELINE: Yes, what is it?
OPERATIONS: Can you come up to Committee?
MADELINE: Committee?
OPERATIONS: Yes. George is here.
MADELINE: I’ll be right up.
COMMITTEE
OPERATIONS: That order is being executed. I’m focusing on the new mission.
GEORGE: India and Pakistan should be next on the list.
OPERATIONS: I’m sure we can do something.
GEORGE: Madeline.
MADELINE: Hello, George.
GEORGE: You look well.
MADELINE: We weren’t expecting you.
GEORGE: I had some business in the country.
OPERATIONS: We were just discussing India and Pakistan.
GEORGE: We’re moving things around. You may be asked to pitch in.
MADELINE: Of course.
GEORGE: I heard an interesting rumor the other day.
OPERATIONS: What was that?
GEORGE: That Adrian was here.
OPERATIONS: Our Adrian?
GEORGE: My Adrian.
OPERATIONS: That is an interesting rumor. No, I haven’t seen Adrian in over ten years. How is she doing?
GEORGE: I believe she is dead.
OPERATIONS: What makes you think that?
GEORGE: We keep tabs on these things.
MADELINE: Would you like us to look into it for you? I have resources that I…
GEORGE: I came here to tell you this because as you know, Adrian is very dear to me. If I discover that any harm has come to her and that Section One played even a minor role, I will crush you both, figuratively and literally.
GEORGE: Well, I have to be in Stockholm in an hour. I’m sorry I can’t stay around and chat.
OPERATIONS: George.
NIKITA'S APARTMENT
NIKITA: It’s true. Why don’t you believe me?
FERREIRA: Because you’re not the type.
NIKITA: Oh really?
FERREIRA: No.
NIKITA: So what type am I?
NIKITA: I didn’t give you permission to do that.
FERREIRA: I don’t need permission. I’m the team leader. You do what I say.
NIKITA: Really?
FERREIRA: Yeah.
NIKITA: So, give me a command.
FERREIRA: Shut up.
FERREIRA: Hey!
NIKITA: Oooh!
FERREIRA: Oh, yeah.
FERREIRA: You’re bad…
MICHAEL: Hello, Chris.
FERREIRA: What is this?
BIRKOFF: I’ve unlocked a half dozen security two files. Each contains a treasonous breach which would result in immediate cancellation. They’re all linked to you by an iris match.
FERREIRA: I didn’t access those files and you know it.
BIRKOFF: That’s true. It would take two weeks to prove that. By then, you’d be dead.
FERREIRA: So, what do you want from me?
COMM
BIRKOFF: SIR? We have another window surfacing.
OPERATIONS: Where?
BIRKOFF: Near Barcelona.
OPERATIONS: Prep it.
MADELINE'S OFFICE
MADELINE: So, tell me about last night.
FERREIRA: We went out to dinner, then back to her place.
MADELINE: Did you have sex with her?
FERREIRA: No.
MADELINE: Why not?
FERREIRA: She wouldn’t let me. I didn’t want to push it.
MADELINE: What did she say about Michael?
FERREIRA: Well, she’s suspicious.
MADELINE: Of what?
FERREIRA: She thinks you might have cancelled Michael.
MADELINE: Were those her exact words?
FERREIRA: No. She was playing it pretty close.
MADELINE: What did she say exactly?
FERREIRA: That it’s strange that Michael hasn’t been around. She asked if I’d seen his name on any upcoming profiles.
MADELINE: How much resistance do you think she’ll give to the Barcelona profile?
FERREIRA: Some, but, I’ll go in with her. It’ll be fine.
MADELINE: Good. No mistakes this time.
FERREIRA: No. It’ll be taken care of.
SECTION
FERREIRA: We’re taking out the tracking station with air tactical. You’ll activate the transmitter so Comm an get a signature.
NIKITA: What about hostiles?
FERREIRA: Take them alive. We’ll want a full debrief. Defense should be light.
OPERATIONS’ LOFT
BIRKOFF: Come on, come on, come on.
OPERATIONS: Birkoff! Don’t you have a mission?
BIRKOFF: They’re en route. It goes live in twenty minutes.
HIGHWAY
MICHAEL: Birkoff?
BIRKOFF: I’m here.
MICHAEL: Did you send it?
BIRKOFF: Barely. Operations almost caught me.
MICHAEL: Will Oversight be able to trace it?
BIRKOFF: No. I scrambled it.
MICHAEL: What about the mission?
BIRKOFF: It’s airtight. She’s not getting out alive.
MICHAEL: How much time?
BIRKOFF: They just crossed the inflection point.
MICHAEL: Can you slow it down?
BIRKOFF: No.
MISSION
NIKITA: Delivery.
GUARD: Clear.
NIKITA: Okay.
FERREIRA: What do you have Birkoff?
BIRKOFF: I’m counting four inside. Bring them out.
OPERATIONS: Birkoff, where’s air tactical?
BIRKOFF: They’re in pattern.
FERREIRA: Go!
FERREIRA: Team two, go.
FERREIRA: Get them out of here. Activate.
NIKITA: Birkoff, am I safe?
BIRKOFF: I don’t know.
MADELINE'S OFFICE
MADELINE: What are you doing here?
MICHAEL: I’m going to offer you an alternative.
MADELINE: To what?
MICHAEL: I don’t think you want to see the Section destroyed, but that is what will happen if you don’t abort this mission.
MADELINE: Why? Because you think this made a difference?
MADELINE: Next time, Michael, pick your conspirators more carefully. We fed Birkoff false information. You’ll never be able to link us to Adrian’s death. Not as long as I’m here.
OPERATIONS’ LOFT
OPERATIONS: Yes, George? That doesn’t sound right, what’s your source? No, I’m not doubting it. Yes. Of course. Birkoff, get me air tactical.
BIRKOFF: Yes, sir.
OPERATIONS: I’m updating your coordinates. Check your screens.
PILOT: We have a new target?
OPERATIONS: Yes.
MISSION
FERREIRA: Okay, we’re out.
COMM
BIRKOFF: Anytime.
OPERATIONS: Fire missile.
COMMITTEE
NIKITA: You going to kill me?
OPERATIONS: Adrian’s death and the Gemstone file are behind us. A full inquiry was made and there was no connection between her death and Section One. Oversight is no longer interested in this matter.
NIKITA: You killed the rest of my team.
MADELINE: They were all abeyance operatives.
NIKITA: And, Ferreira?
MADELINE: He as well. It’s true, our original intention was to eliminate you. That’s been changed.
NIKITA: Why?
OPERATIONS: You’re no longer a threat to us.
MADELINE: And your value as an operative remains strong. That will be all.
MADELINE: She and Michael must have had help from Birkoff. He’s the only one who could have gotten through to George like he did.
OPERATIONS: What does Michael think?
MADELINE: I told him we found the bug Ferreira planted in my office before any damage was done.
OPERATIONS: Did he believe it?
MADELINE: Yes, at the time. But, he’ll be wondering why we spared Nikita.
OPERATIONS: We can’t do anything about Nikita… yet. George is still watching. Her status can't be tampered with. The best we can do is keep them from knowing we’re still vulnerable.
MADELINE: What about Birkoff?
OPERATIONS: No, no. He’d be too hard to replace. I can control him.
MADELINE: We’ve been through worse.
COMM
MICHAEL: How did it go?
NIKITA: I’m still alive. Did they speak with you?
MICHAEL: Yes.
NIKITA: What do you think they’ll do?
MICHAEL: Nothing for now.
NIKITA: Michael… the marriage to Elena. What is it?
MICHAEL: It’s a mission.
NIKITA: She an operative?
MICHAEL: No.
NIKITA: She doesn’t know.
MICHAEL: No. We’re after her father.
NIKITA: So, you’re deceiving this woman to secure your cover?
NIKITA: Is the child yours?
MICHAEL: Yes.
The End
