Announcer: Previously on la femme nikita.
Michael: Bring me back. Back into section?
Yes.
Jones: He helped the collective inflict unprecedented damage.
And now suddenly, he wants to change sides.
Nikita: With the intel he would provide,
we could strike back at the collective.
Jones: Assuming he's telling the truth.
You want to do this? I do.
Michael, this is Mr. Jones. Mr. Jones, Michael samuelle.
Michael: There's a conference tomorrow.
The collective plans to disrupt the conference.
I can stop it at a price.
I have a son, Adam. Where is he?
Is there another archive request active?
No. Why?
Operations: Someone else is in.
The collective. It has to be.
Hello, Adam.
The best available operatives. Quickly.
Have them meet me in transport in five minutes.
Adam, listen to me. My name is Paul.
I'm a friend of your father.
Graff: We have intel concerning a man
very high up in your organization.
Goes by the name of Jones. You bring me Jones,
or your son dies.

Michael?
Michael, what happened?
I got Adam out.
Where's Adam?
It's better if you don't know.
How'd you get out?
(Machine gun firing)
They showed me where Adam was.
They didn't think I'd make a move.
But I didn't trust them, so I took a chance.
(Michael panting)
(Machine guns firing)
Adam: Daddy.
(Machine guns firing)
I took Adam to a safe place.
He'll be fine for a couple of days.
Are you sure you haven't been followed?
Yes.
But they're looking for me.
Michael, you're hurt, more than you want to admit.
Take me back to section.
I can guide a team to the collective's headquarters.
(Woman speaking French)
Kate: Who are those two?
Kelley and mauk from oversight, the lucky runners-up.
To what?
Daddy offered nikita operations' post.
She turned it down in a big way.
So, one of those two is going to be in charge of my life.
Afraid so, darling.
Any difference between them?
I worked with both of them at oversight.
Kelley is a pain.
Nothing's ever good enough for her.
What about mauk?
Good woman. Smart. Great attitude.
She'd be a good choice.
"Good woman"?
"Great attitude"?
Somehow that doesn't sound like you, Jason.
Why don't you tell me what you really think of her?
She's a jerk, too.
But I did a couple of favors for her at oversight.
She owes me big time.
If she takes over, I'll have it pretty cushy.
The real Jason's back.
So, how are you going to rig the election, then?
I don't know yet.
I've gotta talk to Walter,
see if he can help me poison kelley.
Myra mauk?
Are you sure?
Yeah.
You know her?
All too well.
What's wrong?
If she takes over the perch, I'm toast. Toast.
You can forget the farm.
I'll be sent right to abeyance.
I'll be dead in a week.
You did her.
Worse than that, I didn't do her.
You lost me.
Well, about 20 years ago,
I was assigned to a spec ops at oversight.
She was in charge.
Well, we found ourselves in Paris.
We had 36 hours downtime,
and she insisted that we spend it in bed.
Jason: What's wrong with that?
I had other plans.
Another girl?
No, a woman.
I turned her down, and for months after that,
she put me in every deadly situation that came along.
That was a long time ago.
I'm sure she's over it.
Oh, no.
No. You don't know her.
Actually, I do.
I spent some time at oversight, got to know her a bit.
You gotta help me, Jason.
What do you want me to do?
Get something on her.
Put it right there in front of Jones.
That could backfire on me.
Walter: On you? I could be dead.
Come on, Jase. Help me, please?
Get him to medical.
Where's Jones? In the perch.
He'll do the profile himself after I debrief Michael. No.
I need to brief Jones personally.
Why?
There are certain things only he will understand.
I don't think that's a good idea.
We don't have time for this.
Tell Jones to meet us in medical.
Not yet.
Nikita: At least, let them give you an anesthetic.
The pain keeps me focused.
Come back in 10 minutes.
Hello.
Jones: I was glad to hear that Adam is safe.
Thank you.
We'll get you patched up soon.
In the meantime, tell me what you know.
The refraction sequence will be in effect soon,
if it's not already.
And their fail-safe protocol?
There are two contingencies.
Ah. I did ask Quinn to download...
(Grunts)
What are you doing?
Well, now, congratulations on your miraculous recovery.
The collective still has Adam.
You lied to me?
Yes.
They want to make a trade.
Me for the boy.
Shoot him, nikita.
Nikita, it's the only way to keep Adam alive.
Once they release him, I'll find a way to get your father out.
Jones: He has been consistently deceiving us.
Do not trust him.
Let's go.
Yes.
Michael: I have Jones.
Good. Bring him in.
No.
I want to hand him off to you, not to graff.
Haled: Why?
I don't trust graff.
It doesn't matter who you trust.
You used to be graff's equal. Now you work for him.
Doesn't that bother you?
What are you trying to say?
If you brought in Jones yourself, things might change.
No, no, no.
It's my decision, and my decision alone.
I'll send you the location.
You keep your half of the bargain.
Bring Adam.
All right.
Perry.
Perry, put a hold on that relay to two.
I want to wait for the result to the Athens operation.
Myra: No.
Send it now.
Myra.
Whatever way it falls in Athens,
two needs that information, and the sooner, the better.
Hello, Jason.
I trust you can still be counted on.
What are you doing here, Myra?
Jones wants kelley and me to run section for a few days
before he makes his choice.
Where is Jones?
I've been trying to reach him.
He's been called away for a few days,
and I'm covering comm while he's gone.
Did he give you a code?
All right. I'll forward everything to you.
Well, good.
Let's talk.
I assume you know what's going on.
You and kelley are both up for operations.
That's right, and I intend to get it. Can I count on you to help?
I'm not sure what I can do.
I want a list. Three columns:
Allies, detractors and irrelevant.
What's the problem?
I don't know how to make those evaluations.
Most of these people don't know you.
You know my politics. You can do it.
Okay.
Good.
You know, your profile does not suggest that
you would jeopardize global security
for any one person.
Not even your son.
Nor does it suggest that
you would encourage nikita to murder her own father.
You know, the collective
will want you to perform many more tricks
before they release your son.
Handing me over is simply the first.
If you need anything, knock.
(Door closing)
Where's my son?
He's safe.
We agreed you would bring him.
Haled: Give me Jones first.
There may be one or two other services we need from you,
then we'll discuss the release of the boy.
If you want to see your son, give us Jones.
Over there.
Open it.
(Groans)
That was not smart.
Where's my son?
You just killed him.
If he dies, you die.
You think you can trade me for the boy?
Graff won't make that deal.
Then let's take graff out of the equation.
With graff gone, you'll be in charge.
Nikita: We'll give you the collective. You give us Adam.
Or I can kill you right now.
It's your choice.
What do you want?
When is he vulnerable over the next 24 hours?
He's making a weapons purchase tomorrow morning.
Haled's secured.
He's been out of the collective for a while.
What if graff gets suspicious, cancels the purchase?
We'll think of another plan.
Like what?
I don't know.
He's my father, Michael.
He hasn't been much of one.
I won't hand him over to the collective to be tortured and killed.
Adam's my son.
I won't let him die.
(Gun cocking)
We have to go.
(Men chattering)
I'll get a different angle.
I've got a clear shot.
(Muffled gunshot) Good. Good.
(Grunts)
(Gun firing)
(Machine gun firing)
(Screams)
(Grunts)
(Gun firing)
Walter: Hey, Jase.
Jase!
Come on.
You taking care of what we talked about?
Sort of.
Sort of?
It's complicated.
Yeah, oh, yeah. But you can do it, right?
I don't know yet.
You mean, you don't know how you're going to do it,
or if you want to do it?
Look, Walter, don't lay a guilt trip on me, all right?
You and my brother may have been close,
but you and I don't go back that far.
I don't care how far back we go.
If Myra gets the job, I'm dead.
Keep her out of the perch.
I can't.
Jones has given her control of comm.
That means he's already made up his mind.
Best I can do right now is cover my own ass.
So you think you're smart just taking care of numero uno?
What else can you do in a place like this?
You take care of your friends,
and your friends take care of you.
You're kidding, right?
Your brother gave his life to save everybody else's here.
Anybody tell you that?
I'm not my brother.
You know,
I'm kind of glad that he never really got to know you.
He would have been ashamed.
(Door opening)
We've done our part.
Now I want my son.
I have to go back to the collective to assume command.
When that's settled, I'll deliver the boy.
How long?
I'll contact you on an open channel.
Haled.
Section's intel base is thorough.
What of it?
Recently you moved your family to Tunisia.
A small village called medenine.
What now?
Release Jones.
Take him back to section.
Are you sure?
I need section resources to provide security for Adam's return.
Jones will tell them to cooperate.
After what we've done, I'm not so sure.
He claims section exists to protect the innocent.
Let him prove it.
(People chattering)
Michael. Michael: Yes.
Jason: It's from the collective. A location.
You're on the grid.
All clear.
The coordinates indicate a small structure at the north end of the park.
Is the path still clear?
I'm sweeping now.
Exterior looks good.
Nikita: What about inside the structure?
Infrared indicates warmth.
A person?
Most likely.
Quinn.
Yes?
I'm getting a reading here,
but the intensity is diminishing.
Kate: It's cooling down.
Cooling down?
What is it?
It should be Adam.
Not anymore.
What do you mean?
Temperature readout.
Whoever it is has been dead at least a half hour.
Oh, no.
I have to find out who's in charge now and negotiate with him.
What do you have to negotiate with?
Whatever they want.
(Rifle cocking)
Man: Jones wants you back in section.
Now.
(Myra laughing)
Myra: So, did you have any luck with the list?
Right here.
Did you get done what I asked you to get done?
(Myra laughing)
That's very good.
Jason: I thought you'd like that.
Man 2: Come with us, please.
(Clears throat)
What was that about?
Guess they found something in her file they didn't like.
You have anything to do with it?
No. Why would I?
My mistake.
(Door squeaks open)
Have you heard from the collective?
Jones: No.
They're obviously going through a change of leadership.
Their behavior will therefore be erratic for some time.
Adam?
They still have him.
They've moved their base,
so we don't know where they're keeping him.
There is one hope.
I could contact them through an open channel
and offer to exchange you for Adam.
Why would they accept?
Well, now that I am out of reach,
it will let them save face
and give them your complete knowledge of section.
Why would you permit it?
Because you will commit suicide
rather than give them that knowledge.
They'll be watching for that.
This contains a membrane,
which fits the roof of the mouth.
Virtually undetectable.
You press it hard with your tongue for five seconds,
five seconds later, you are dead.
You will now give me your word
that you will use it the minute you know that Adam is safe.
You have my word.
Very clever.
Oh, you think you've found a way
to kill Michael that I'll find acceptable?
It is important to save the boy.
Nikita: The collective have promised to let Adam go twice,
and twice they haven't done it.
Why should it be any different this time?
It is Adam's only chance.
And Michael has agreed.
Michael doesn't have a choice.
You do.
My dear girl, none of us have a choice.
Least of all me.
Do you think, with Michael gone,
I'm going to stay and run section?
Well, we'll see.
(Computer beeping)
The answer is coming through from the collective.
Never gonna happen.
We'll see.
(Bird cawing)
You'll take care of Adam.
I will.
Goodbye, nikita.
Goodbye, Michael.
Goodbye.
Jones: There's one last complication.
I'm afraid I lied.
It is not you they want.
It's me.
I do apologize for this whole charade.
But, you see, I had to make it appear convincing.
We were under constant observation by my colleagues,
and they certainly wouldn't allow me to give myself up.
So, it all comes down to you, nikita.
I need your promise
that you will return to section and become operations
and then eventually take over from me as I had always planned.
I cannot go
if you don't say yes.
Yes.
One day you will realize it is the right decision.
Always trust your father.

(Woman announcing in French)
Take him as far away from here as possible.
Help him forget.
You'll be all right.
According to my father, I was born for this.
There'll be a time when Adam won't need me anymore.
You know where I am.
