I haven't seen or spoken to my father since I was a little girl.
There is no higher priority than taking out Vacek.
We need to get Elena's letter into Vacek's hands.
She wants me to meet her family.
May I speak with Elena?
He will be in this 3-kilometer zone.
I hope this is the right thing.
We got him.
Okay, we have a vehicle.
Is it you?
Your father was unable to come.
Tell my father his daughter is here and wants to see him.
I'm truly sorry.
Let him go.
Vacek wants to see his daughter, but he feels no urgency.
Then we'll have to change that.
Hello?
- Josephine? - Yeah.
- What's going on? - Things are heating up.
We've correlated three incidents in the last week...
and we've got intel on some new ones.
So I'm going out?
I don't know why Michael called you in yet.
They're filling him in now.
- These incidents, who'd they correlate to? - Vacek.
How long have you known Michael was married to his daughter?
Not long. I've been monitoring Vacek for years.
I just found out about Michael a few weeks ago...
pretty much when you did.
- Section ever done this before? - Develop a blood cover? No.
Vacek's a special case.
I've never come up against anyone this insulated.
With guys like Hussein, Abu Nidal...
you get an interval once in a while. Not Vacek.
- Nikita. - Yeah?
- You're having dinner at my place tonight. - Why?
Operations wants a confirm. You'll provide visual.
Confirm what?
They've asked me to poison Elena.
Vacek's already begun a new wave of strikes against the west.
We can't wait any longer. We have to draw him out.
By poisoning his daughter.
Madeline thinks he's vulnerable in that area.
Would you kill her to get to him?
The drug will only simulate fatal illness.
Maybe for a couple of days.
After that, she'll die.
It has a yellow tint. Don't put it in her water.
Wine or coffee only.
Push the release button once, right here. It'll dispense the proper dosage.
Let's go.
So how's the new place coming? Are you all moved in?
Just about.
I'm just waiting to get a few more chairs and then I can have a few people over.
I still wish you'd let me help you with everything.
- I'd just rather do it on my own. - Fair enough.
Are we having wine?
I knew I forgot something,
What should we have, Michael, red or white?
- Red. - Great.
I've been wanting to try this Merlot.
Congratulations on the job, the apartment...
and now all we have to do is find you a boyfriend.
- This is great. Thanks. - I want some.
- You do? How old are you? - 30.
Show me your ID.
Everything's in order. You can have some.
- Not too much, Michael. - He'll be fine.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
This rice is delicious.
I'm glad you like it. It's a special basmati.
You know, Michael and I found these great chairs...
at an antique store downtown. I'll give you the address.
Michael? Are you done?
Sorry. Yeah. Thank you.
Adam, can you pick my spoon up for me?
Thanks, sweetheart.
Watch it, Adam!
What happened?
Adam almost knocked over the candlestick.
- No, I didn't. - It's okay.
No harm done.
Unfortunately, I can't say I was surprised.
- So it wasn't a singularity? - No.
I see.
Under normal circumstances...
I would strip you of your Class 5 status...
and take you out from your cover.
However, the situation with Vacek is too volatile.
We can't make any ripples for the time being.
You've left us now with few alternatives.
We're going to try a new approach.
There's a briefing in 10 minutes.
Operations was very disappointed.
Yesterday, financial markets free-fell...
until programmed interdiction closed trading.
We pierced the corporate veil of 19 multinational holding companies...
dumping their technology positions.
All 19 companies are controlled by Salla Vacek.
- He may only be realigning assets. - No.
He's liquidating.
We've seen an acceleration of his strikes over the last two months.
It's nothing compared to what he'll be able to do now.
Birkoff?
We've been running a zero-risk strategy on Vacek's couriers and recon people...
to protect Michael's position. That's about to change.
Michael and Elena are still being watched.
I've asked Tactical to come up with a low-profile way...
to seed one of his people.
They should come up with something in a few hours,
You're on standby,
All right, I'm in.
He's alone in there.
Team One, start sequencing.
Hallway clear.
Send in housekeeping.
Hold a second.
Okay. Go ahead.
- We're set. - All right, they're ready for you.
Hello, Mr, Beckman, Can you hear me?
Yes.
You are in this city to do work for a man, What is his name?
Salla Vacek.
He has brown hair.
I am afraid of him.
I once noticed his shoes.
I'm not interested in his shoes,
Adjust him down,
You are in this city to do work for a man, What is his name?
Salla Vacek.
Good,
Where is he now?
Yes, Birkoff.
Beckman gave up location on Vacek. We've sent six teams in to verify.
And Beckman's condition?
He took well to the process. He won't remember anything.
- He'll think he slept through the night. - Good.
I just spoke with our friends in North Africa.
They're waiting for your call.
Also, after tomorrow's incident we plan on leaking a statement...
to all international news agencies claiming the responsibility...
unless, of course, you'd like us to hold off.
Tell me about Elena.
We are maintaining our positions...
and continue to investigate her primary relationships.
It's been over two weeks.
Have you found anything that would suggest I shouldn't meet her?
No.
Fine. Then, contact her and set something up.
It's still too early.
We simply do not have enough information.
This is not a good time to be reckless.
Please, Salla.
Of course. You're right.
Go forward with the statements to the news service...
and get me North Africa.
Yes?
Hello. You are looking very Dolce Gabbana.
You're looking very Mick Shtoppel. What are you doing here?
Isn't that the question of the hour? I'm your new neighbor.
As in next door.
You know, water the plants, borrow the sugar.
Nice.
Studio decor. Very interesting. I can live with it, though.
I mean, I won't be here all day every day.
- You're very funny, Mick. - No joke.
Got a bubble thing. Got anything flat?
Just cut the drivel and tell me what you want.
Unlike you, doll, my contract with Section is a bit more tenuous, to say the least.
I mean, they use me for my ability to move freely in the world.
The French call it "savoir faire. "
You're a lowlife informant, Mick.
Ouch, baby.
Fact of the matter is they've always housed me next door to an operative.
Did you know Terry de Haan? Terry, you know. Terry!
What about him?
Lived next door to him up until a couple of days ago.
Poor chap. Got himself blown to bits. Diabolical liberty, that.
Very nice.
So you're telling me that Section's moved you in next door to me?
- You got it. - Why?
The old two birds with one stone, I suppose.
My information moves in quicker, you get to keep an eye on me.
Think of yourself as a conduit to my valuable flow.
Shut up, Mick.
- What is it? - A team checked in.
- The location Beckman gave us was cold. - Was it Vacek's?
Yes, but he left more than a week ago. It was abandoned.
We're bringing in samples. We'll run them.
- Did Beckman withhold the truth? - No, he told us what he knew.
He was at least two weeks out of Vacek's confidence.
What now?
I don't know. They're discussing it.
Elena?
Michael.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
I must have fallen asleep.
What are you doing home so early?
My last meeting was canceled.
Good.
You look tired. Are you hungry?
No. I'm fine.
I'm fine.
I had a nightmare.
Elena?
I don't know what's wrong with me.
Dr, St, Pierre to Admitting,
How is she?
They don't know yet. They're doing some tests.
- Where's Adam? - With a neighbor.
So, how are you doing?
Why are you here?
Madeline sent me.
She wants you to stay here in case Vacek shows.
So how did it happen?
Section must have gotten to her while I was on the mission.
It's why they sent me out.
If she dies, they die.
Mischa? I wasn't expecting you back until tomorrow.
I have some unfortunate news, sir.
- What? - Your daughter is ill.
She's in the hospital.
What's wrong?
They suspect spinal meningitis.
How serious, Mischa?
She could die.
There's nothing to do right now...
but wait to see how she responds to the treatment.
Elena.
Michael.
Horrible places...
hospitals.
Yes.
Never anything current.
I'm afraid you'll have to leave your wife for a few hours.
Excuse me?
If you care for the well-being of your wife, you'll come with us...
without incident.
Okay, good.
Sir, they've made their move. Michael's leaving the hospital.
- And he's been stripped of surveillance? - Yes, he's clean,
Then let him go.
We didn't have to bring him here.
We could have used a more disposable location.
There's no time, Mischa.
There's somebody that would like to meet you.
Mischa, I want to be alone.
How is she?
You're Elena's father?
- Yes. - What do you want from me?
How is my daughter?
You kidnapped me to find out about Elena?
She's dying, that's how she is.
What can I do to help?
Nothing. There's no chance of recovery.
If you want to help Elena, you'll let me go. She needs me...
and there's not much time.
I'd like to send my doctors to see her.
There's nothing they can do. She's with the best people.
Just let me go.
No matter. I'd still like to send them.
Fine.
Can I go now?
Mischa, you can take him back.
You'll have to accept the loss of your daughter...
just like she learned to accept the loss of her father.
You know, I wish I had the choice to live a different life.
No one else can do what needs to be done.
What are you talking about? Who are you?
Apparently, someone who is powerless...
to even help his own daughter.
Go on. Return to Elena. My men will take you back.
Why don't you come with me...
so she won't die wondering if her father even cares?
I can't.
- What's that? - That's me when I was a baby.
Let me see. Yeah.
- That's me and Daddy at Christmas. - That's very sweet. It's a great picture.
- What's this here? - That's me.
Happy birthday.
- That's me on my bike. - Was that your first bike?
- Yeah. - And what's this here with this big trophy?
That was me at karate. I won a trophy and medal.
Did Daddy teach you karate?
No. I learned it all by myself at karate school.
That's me, Daddy, and Mommy.
Okay, come on. Look at the time.
I'm not tired.
Come on, you can put your pajamas on and I'll read you a story.
- Okay. - Okay. Good boy.
This is coming off a live feed right from Mexico City.
- Crystal Globe has claimed responsibility. - Vacek?
Yeah, it's one of his groups.
I thought our Intel had this in the Far East.
- We were wrong. - Maybe not.
There may be another, right behind this.
Keep those sectors active.
- Who is it? - I don't know. An encrypted channel.
It's Michael.
- Michael, where are you? - At the hospital.
- Vacek's men just dropped me off. - Did you see Vacek?
- Yes, but he won't come himself. - What about the location?
Three hours by private jet and another hour by car,
Send the antidote for Elena. Vacek's not coming.
I'm sure that's what he conveyed.
He doesn't know it himself yet, but he will come.
The symptoms are killing her.
That's a chance we'll have to take,
- Thank you. - That should feel better.
Michael?
I'm right here.
- Where's Adam? - He's out in the hall with Nikita.
Could I be alone with him for a moment, please?
Of course.
Is Mommy better yet?
Mommy wants to talk to you.
It's very important that you be a good boy.
- I am a good boy. - I know you are.
I just want you to listen to what she says.
Can you do that for me?
Okay, let's go.
Mommy?
Come here, sweetheart.
I have something important to say to you and I want you to listen to me, okay?
Is Vacek coming?
It's possible.
We can't just let her die, Michael.
Call Walter.
Get the name of whatever it was they put in that stuff...
and tell the doctors.
It's not too late, Michael. There's still time.
Daddy, he says it's Grandpa coming to see Mommy.
- Birkoff? - Our people are in place.
- And Michael? - With Elena.
We got him the antidote. She's recovering.
- You have all scenarios working? - Whatever he brings, we're ready.
Remember, nobody moves a finger until Michael makes the ID.
- He's the only one who has seen Vacek. - Yes, sir.
Vacek's advance team is here.
- How many? - Twelve so far,
Sir, they're lining the halls. What do we do about containment?
Make no adjustments.
We should be able to handle this without harming innocents.
I feel a little better.
The doctor said you're going to be fine.
How's Adam?
He was a bit tired...
but he's fine.
Everything is fine now.
Hello.
Hello, Michael.
I'm glad you came.
Elena, this is your father.
Hello.
Elena.
Okay, we've got confirmation. Take out his backup.
- I should have come sooner. - I've been asleep.
I don't mean today.
I should have come years ago.
I'm so glad.
About what?
Because now Adam will know his grandfather.
So much we could have done together.
There'll still be time for that.
Her fever dropped.
The doctor said her immune system suddenly responded.
When did this happen?
A couple of hours ago.
Say goodbye to Elena.
He just got here.
You have to rest.
Thank you, George.
No, it was a long, hard road. We're all glad it's over.
Early intel gives us an excellent projection...
what's left of Vacek's organization can be handled by lower agencies.
I appreciate you saying that.
Yes.
- He was pleased? - Yes.
You should follow through with your proposal for Level 9.
There should be no resistance at this point.
Good.
- Sir, Michael's here, - Send him in.
Congratulations.
You carried off what everyone at Oversight considered an impossible task.
Elena has been released from the hospital. Physically, she's fine.
And, of course, she and Adam will be provided for.
Full package.
Would you like us to copy you on their progress reports?
I think we should acknowledge the personal sacrifice Michael has made...
and give him some time alone.
Absolutely.
You can go, Michael.
Mick, I don't have time for your nonsense tonight.
Could you please just go be somewhere else?
Can I talk to you? Please?
All right.
They told me...
they were just going to move a guy from "A" to "B."
I didn't know they were going to blow up the car.
If I had known that...
I never would have let the girl go with them.
I mean, she had nothing to do with it.
Now, why didn't they tell me that?
You want some tea?
