Previously on La Femme Nikita:
Only one person alive knows our systems this intimately.
My name is Adrian.
Adrian founded this place.
She's the mother of Section One.
You and I are going to destroy Section One.
Someone broke deep level security.
In your opinion, is she the one we're after?
I'm not going to run.
You're in over your head.
You've lost, Adrian.
You betrayed me.
I believe our business is finished here.
Increase her mission frequency.
Eventually, the problem will take care of itself.
What the hell took you people so long?
You should have been there! Now, come on, move it!
We've got massive chest and neck wounds...
People are dying here! Do something!
Do something! Come on, let's go!
Come on, let's go!
Damn it, move it!
- What's wrong? - He's gone.
Bring him back. Damn it, do something!
There's nothing we can do.
What have we got here?
Put some pressure on that.
What happened?
The whole damn thing was bad right from the start.
Whoever planned this thing is going to pay.
We lost Deshy and Pierce.
Deshy and Pierce?
They shouldn't have been called.
- What were they doing out? - You tell me.
- Where's Michael? - He's down.
But he called me in.
Yeah, something came up. They switched him with Ferreira.
- Michael still here? - No.
We don't need filters on this data. Just dump it.
It won't take long before she puts it together...
- if she hasn't already. - She hasn't.
Deshy, Pierce and Pollack were the only witnesses...
to her aborted insurrection. Now they're dead.
No matter.
She's going out this afternoon and that will be the end of it.
- And Michael's not a variable? - I've made certain that he's occupied.
- Has he seen the profile? - Yes, before we changed it.
Good. Just make sure she doesn't return.
She won't.
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 on site...
from one of nine anti-Western factions that emerged over the past year.
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 tactical yet...
which makes them a perfect target for a preemptive.
Take what's there. We're looking for any kind of a link.
Afterwards, roll it up. I want 100% containment.
Ferreira will be leading the team.
You'll be going out this afternoon.
- I'll sanitize the profile and bring it down. - No. I want you to prep.
- You'll be running point. - I'm usually third position.
Not today.
- Not the usual package today. - I know.
I'm on point.
Since when?
- Where's Michael? - I don't know. He left this morning.
Why?
I need to talk to him.
Talk to me.
Walter, not this one.
It's about Adrian, isn't it?
There were witnesses.
Were?
Pollack...
Pierce, Deshy.
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.
Maybe not.
- Has everybody checked in? - Yeah.
Let's go.
After Nikita finishes the download, create an exit corridor to the north.
Make sure you get an "A" and "R" from Birkoff every 30 seconds.
- Sure we don't need field support? - No. We're going to run it cold.
- Ferreira, this isn't clean. - No matter. Proceed.
I'm sending.
- Birkoff, are you getting it? - Yeah. This looks like it.
Get your people out.
Birkoff?
- I need you up here. - Yes, sir.
Nikita, hold position.
Hold position? Why?
We have to verify some data.
Birkoff, "B" channel.
Ferreira, why isn't Birkoff looped in?
I don't know. He should be.
He's not.
Let me check.
There she is. Get her.
- You said it was clean. - It's what they gave me.
Let's get out of here. Come on.
- Why is she still alive? - Apparently, we trained her too well.
George is starting to poke around.
- Has he mentioned Adrian? - Her name's come up.
He would not be happy if he knew the details.
No, he wouldn't.
Maybe we're going about this in the wrong way.
- We should just deal with this internally. - Don't get impatient.
It's unfortunate, but it was a one-time event.
Percentage is on our side. It will be taken care of soon.
I don't want Michael anywhere near her until it's done.
He won't be.
What's going on with Michael's situation?
He's getting some positive indications. We should be able to move soon.
You should go down to Medical, get that checked out.
Thanks, Chris. I will.
Nikita, I was wrong about the intel.
- I should have done a walk-through first. - You were just following profile.
It wasn't your fault. Maybe I'll see you later.
Probably not. We're not going back out.
I meant, you know, just you and me.
I apologize. We had incorrect information.
You should never have gone in there alone.
I haven't seen Michael in a while.
Has he been reassigned somewhere else?
No.
Where is he?
Home, I think.
Home?
Deshy and Pierce didn't die by accident, neither did Pollack.
Neither will you.
- So Shanghai wasn't an accident. - No.
Operations pulled me away right before everything went down.
That's why you couldn't reach me.
Michael part of this?
I don't think so.
- But you don't know? - 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.
To what?
Oversight.
- What exactly is Oversight? - It's the board.
It's the only entity Operations has to answer to.
Can they shut down the Section?
- Can they shut down Section? - More like incinerate.
What can we do?
The first thing we need to do...
is figure out how to keep you alive for the next couple days.
If we could find Michael, that would help.
Find him? I thought you said he was down.
No, they have him parked somewhere. I can't get an address.
Maybe you can.
- Hey, Chris. - Hey, what's doing?
Just leafing through some DOD frames.
Chris, do you know the difference between...
armored transport and a civilian at Mag-25?
- Yeah. Why? - Could you check this out?
Sorry.
- Which one? - Right there.
Civilian.
Are you sure? What about that shadow?
It's just water. It's definitely civilian.
Okay, I've got it.
Thanks.
So, still want to get together?
- Sure. - How about tonight?
I can't tonight.
- Tomorrow night? - Tomorrow, then.
Great.
Excuse me. Sorry.
Yes?
Hi, I'm looking for a friend of mine.
I'm not sure if this is the right address, but...
Who is it you're looking for?
Mommy, come on. It's your turn.
I'll be right there, sweetheart. I'm sorry. Who did you want?
No, I'm sorry. I have the wrong house.
- Daddy, can we go to the park now? - Later. Let's finish the game first.
Michael.
Do you know her, Michael?
Hello.
Go inside.
What are you doing here?
I found out where you were and...
You must have heard from Aunt Rita.
Yeah, I did. She's great. She sends her love.
- It's been years. - Yeah.
- This is my wife, Elena. - Hello. Nikita.
Hello.
Nikita is a cousin of sorts. We're related through my stepfather.
Why didn't you say so? Come in.
Thank you.
It's good to see you again.
And you, too.
- Please have a seat. - Thank you.
Adam, turn that off and go upstairs.
- I want to finish. - Now. Do it now.
- But I want to stay here with you. - You can't. We have company.
What's wrong, Michael? Why can't he stay down here?
Because I want him upstairs.
Go upstairs, sweetheart. We'll come up in a minute.
- I didn't know you had a child, Michael. - A lot of time has passed.
I'm sorry, I haven't even offered you anything.
- Are you hungry? - A drink would be fine.
- Juice? Coffee? Tea? - Tea's fine.
- How about you, Michael? - Nothing.
- What are you doing here? - Is this for real?
There's something going on in Section. I need your help.
What's the problem?
Pierce and Deshy are dead.
Operations is trying to kill me.
He wants to wipe out everyone who witnessed Adrian.
Who do you report to?
Ferreira.
- Are you working him? - Yes.
When you finish your tea, make some excuse and leave.
I'll send you a contact point.
Michael, would you give me a hand, please?
Of course.
What's going on with the wife and child?
We'll talk about it later.
- What's your status? - I'm inside for another day or two.
You said Pierce and Deshy, what about Pollack?
Dead.
Birkoff raked the system.
He thinks Operations and Madeline are worried about Oversight.
What else does Birkoff know?
Nothing more than I know.
Tell me about Ferreira.
I'm working with him. I don't trust him.
- Can you get him out of Section? - Yeah, I can.
Get him to your apartment. Tell Birkoff to reroute a deep channel.
- Madeline, are you there? - Yes. What is it?
- Can you come up to Committee? - Committee?
Yes. George is here.
I'll be right up.
That order is being executed. I'm focusing on the new mission.
India and Pakistan should be next on the list.
I'm sure you can do something.
Hello, George.
You look well.
- We weren't expecting you. - I had some business in the country.
We were just discussing India and Pakistan.
We're moving things around. You may be asked to pitch in.
Of course.
I heard an interesting rumor the other day.
What was that?
That Adrian was here.
- Our Adrian? - My Adrian.
That is an interesting rumor.
No, I haven't seen Adrian in over 10 years.
How's she doing?
I believe she's dead.
- What makes you think that? - We keep tabs on these things.
Would you like us to look into it for you? I have resources that I...
I came here to tell you this because, as you know...
Adrian is very dear to me.
If I discover any harm has come to her...
and that Section One played even a minor role...
I will crush you both.
Figuratively and literally.
I have to be in Stockholm in an hour.
I'm sorry I can't stay around to chat.
It's true. Why don't you believe me?
Because you're not the type.
- Really? - No.
So what type am I?
I didn't give you permission to do that.
I don't need permission. I'm the team leader.
You do what I say.
- Really? - Yeah.
- So give me a command. - Shut up.
Yeah.
You're bad.
Hello, Chris.
What is this?
I've unlocked half a 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.
I didn't access those files, and you know it.
That's true. But it would take two weeks to prove that.
By then, you'd be dead.
So what do you want from me?
Sir, we have another window surfacing.
- Where? - Near Barcelona.
Prep it.
So tell me about last night.
We went out for dinner, then back to her place.
Did you have sex with her?
- No. - Why not?
She wouldn't let me. I didn't want to push it.
- What did she say about Michael? - She's suspicious.
Of what?
She thinks you might have cancelled Michael.
- Were those her exact words? - No. She was playing it pretty close.
What did she say exactly?
That it's strange that Michael hasn't been around.
She asked if I'd seen his name on any upcoming profiles.
How much resistance do you expect she'll give...
to the Barcelona profile?
Some, but I'll go in with her. We'll be fine.
Good. No mistakes this time.
No. It'll be taken care of.
We're taking out their tracking station with air tactical.
You'll activate the transmitter so Comm. Can get a signature.
What about hostiles?
Take them alive. They'll want a full debrief.
Defense should be light.
Come on.
Birkoff.
Don't you have a mission?
They're en route. It goes live in 20 minutes.
Birkoff?
- Yeah, I'm here. - Did you send it?
Barely. Operations almost caught me.
Will Oversight be able to trace it to us?
- No, I scrambled it. - What about the mission?
It's airtight.
- She's not getting out alive. - How much time?
They just crossed the inflection point.
- Can you slow it down? - No.
Delivery.
Clear.
Air tactical on approach.
What do you have, Birkoff?
I'm counting four inside. Bring them out.
Birkoff, where's air tactical?
They're in pattern.
Go.
Team two, go.
Real quiet.
Get them out of here.
Activate it.
Birkoff, am I safe?
I don't know.
What are you doing here?
- I'm going to offer you an alternative. - To what?
I don't think you want to see the section destroyed.
But that's what will happen if you don't abort this mission.
Why?
Because you think this made a difference?
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.
Yes, George?
That doesn't sound right. What's your source?
No, I'm not doubting it. I'm...
Yes. Of course.
Birkoff, get me air tactical.
Yes, sir.
I'm updating your coordinates. Check your screen.
- We have a new target? - Yes.
Okay, we're out.
Anytime.
Fire missile.
Are you going to kill me?
Adrian and the Gemstone file are behind us.
A full inquiry was made.
There was no connection between her death and Section One.
Oversight is no longer interested in this matter.
You killed the rest of my team.
They were all abeyance operatives.
And Ferreira?
He as well.
It's true, our original intention was to eliminate you.
That's been changed.
Why?
You're no longer a threat to us.
And your value as an operative remains strong.
That will be all.
She and Michael must have had help from Birkoff.
He's the only one who could have gotten through to George like he did.
What does Michael think?
I told him we found the bug Ferreira planted in my office...
before any damage was done.
Did he believe it?
Yes, at the time.
But he'll be wondering why we've spared Nikita.
What would you like done?
We can't do anything about Nikita yet.
George is still watching.
And Michael's current status can't be tampered with.
And the best we can do...
is to keep them from knowing we're still vulnerable.
- What about Birkoff? - No. He'd be too hard to replace.
I can control him.
We've been through worse.
How'd it go?
I'm still alive.
- Did they speak to you? - Yes.
What do you think they'll do?
Nothing for now.
Your marriage to Elena...
What is it?
It's a mission.
Is she an operative?
No.
She doesn't know.
No. We're after her father.
So you're deceiving this woman to secure your cover?
Is the child yours?
Yes.
