In Between Transcript
By Baoqin and Dana
VAN ACCESS
Michael and his team is returning from a mission. They have captured a
man.
Man: (yelling) You didn't
have to kill him! I'll kill you! You hear me?! You are dead! You're
dead!
Madeline: What happened?
Michael: In order to get to him,
we had to kill his brother.
Madeline: Really? Who did it?
Michael: Syrus.
Madeline: Tell him to stay
close. We don't have much time.
WHITE ROOM
The man is tied to the steel chair in the middle of the room. The two
operatives leave. Madeline enters the room.
Man: You are wasting your
time. Why don't you kill me now cause I'm not giving you anything. You
hear me?
Madeline: You had several
conversations with Able Goellner in the last month. Tell me about
him.
Man: You didn't have to kill my
brother. You didn't have to kill him.
Madeline: But we did, and I'm
afraid you are going to die as well.
Man: So why would I give you
anything?
Madeline: Because I'm going to
give you something in return.
SOMEWHERE IN SECTION
Syrus: I don't understand, how can
I help?
Michael: Madeline will fill you
in.
Syrus: What do you need?
Madeline: Just talk to
him. Apologize for shooting his brother.
Syrus: Apologize?
Madeline: Yes.
Syrus breathes a sigh of relief. He should have known better.
WHITE ROOM
Syrus enters the room.
Syrus: Hey, look, it was nothing
personal. I was just trying to do my job.
The man lifts his hand, before Syrus can react, he shoots Syrus
straight through the heart. Syrus falls to the floor. Madeline enters
the room.
Madeline: Able Goellner. Tell me
about him.
NIKITA'S APARTMENT
Nikita comes out her shower. She is wearing a light purple bathrobe
and has a towel wrapped around her hair. She lies on the floor with
her feet propped up on the sofa. Somebody knocks on the door. Nikita
reluctantly gets up and opens the door.
Nikita: Hey.
Carla: Hey, stranger.
Nikita: Carla.
Later . . .
Carla is sitting on the sofa.
Carla: Yeah, I couldn't believe
it. I was turning on the Coolidge, and there you are turning on the
street.
Nikita: You should have stopped
me.
Carla: I tried. I yelled out of
the window, and everyone but you turned around.
Nikita: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Carla: Where did you go? I thought
something horrible had happened.
Nikita: No, I had to go home, my
family had an emergency.
Carla: Is everything OK?
Nikita: It's fine. Carla, I want
to say sorry that I didn't get in contact with you. I just, I
couldn't.
Carla: It's no problem. I'm happy
to see you. So when did you get back?
Nikita: About 3 or 4 months. So
what about you? Why did you move out?
Carla: I met someone.
Nikita: Oh, gosh.
Carla: His name is Steven, he's a
commodities broker. We live in this great loft downtown.
Nikita: Nothing wrong with
that.
Carla: He's a great guy. You will
meet him.
Nikita: It's great to see
you.
Carla: Yeah, you too.
Nikita: Do you want a refill?
Carla: Ok.
Nikita takes Carla's cup.
Carla: So what about you? What
have you been doing since you been back?
Nikita: What have I been doing?
Carla: Did you get a job? Are you
seeing anyone? What's going on?
Nikita: Umm . . .
Nikita is saved from answering by the phone ring.
Nikita: Hello.
Michael: Josephine.
Nikita: Yep.
BRIEFING
Operations: Yesterday in Kuala
Lumpur (capital of Malaysia), we picked up Monzeel Ellis, a
well connected dealmaker who works in the Pacific Rim. Lately he's
been in touch with Able Goellner, a man we've been after for
sometime. Goellner has been destabilizing friendly third world
countries through the use of his massive financial resources. He's
about to use these resources to fund terrorist strikes against
civilian populations. We need to get in with him, discover his
financial pipeline, and shut him down. Michael will be leading the
mission. He'll update you as soon as the mission profile has been
set.
Nikita: Michael, are we on
standby?
Michael: Yes.
LOUNGE - location unknown
Michael and Nikita are meeting Goellner. They walk through a series of
rooms that looks like lounges filled with people smoking, reading
newspaper and just generally relaxing. They enter a private back
room. Giraldi (aka Charles Sand) greets them.
Sand: Sit. (Michael and Nikita
sit down.)
Goellner enters the room.
Goellner: Ah, I can see the
party's already begin. Able Goellner. (to Michael) Pleased to
meet you. (to Nikita) Pleased to meet you. Would either of you
like something to eat or drink?
Michael: No.
Goellner: Ok, Monzeel have a lot
of good things to say about you and you are . . .
Michael: Nikita, my attache.
Goellner: How nice. You know what
it is that I need?
Michael: Monzeel said you need to
transfer funds without drawing attention.
Goellner: Yes, that's right. We
don't want to draw any attention.
Michael: If you choose to use my
services, your money will be funneled into segregated and offshore
accounts. I stay away form the Caribbean and other more visible
hubs. I had success in East Africa. They're desperate for hard
currency.
Sand: What about the rate?
Michael: You can do better if you
are willing to take the risk. I'm not. Interferences are minimal,
almost none existent.
Goellner: I'm curious, how did you
two meet?
Nikita: Sorry?
Goellner: Is your relationship
social, professional?
Michael: What does that have to do
with our business here?
Goellner: Everything!! I'm about
to make a decision that will place a bulk of my assets in your hands,
I want to know who I'm dealing with. (To Nikita) What do you
think of him?
Nikita: He's a fair employer.
Goellner: Are you attracted to
him?
Michael: I'm sorry, it was a
mistake for use to come here. (Michael stands up to leave, but
stops when one of Goellner's man points a gun at his head.)
Goellner: One final question, if
your employer would suddenly cease to exist would you be able to get
up to speed quickly enough to do this for me?
Nikita: Depends on what you mean
by quickly enough.
Goellner: By next Tuesday.
Nikita: Could you give me a
moment? (Nikita starts to type on her PDA.) Not quite, but if
you can give me two more days then yes.
Goellner: No, no. I need it done
sooner. (to the guy holding the gun) That's fine. (to
Michael) Your assistant is very good, but don't train her too
well.
Michael: Yeah. So do we have a
deal?
Goellner: Yes, we do. If you will
join me in the other room I'll show you what are up against.
Everybody stands up to go to the other room. Charles Sand/Giraldi
stops Nikita.
Sand: Just him.
Goellner: Oh, nothing
sinister. It's just the fewer the better at this point.
Everyone except Sand/Giraldi and Nikita leaves the room.
Sand: You are an attractive
woman.
Nikita: Thank you.
Sand: I like you tie. I like a
woman who knots her own tie. Shows an independent nature.
Sand/Giraldi walks to Nikita and hands her his business card. It read
Karl Giraldi - consultant, he turns it over, on the back he had hand
written SECTION ONE.
Sand: I have been waiting a long
time for you.
Nikita: I don't know what this
means.
Sand: Take it to Operations. He'll
know what to do. Tell no one else.
Nikita hesitates, shocked. Goellner gets out of the room and calls
Sand. Nikita hides the card.
Goellner: Carlo!
VAN ACCESS
Operations: Did he open the books?
Michael: No, he presented a
theoretical scenario. If he likes my response he'll use me.
Operations: Get the data to
Analysis, have them work up a projection. Tell them not to be too
precise, we want it to look real.
Michael: Of course.
Michael leaves. Nikita comes in through the door, stops in front of
Operations.
Operations: Is there something
else?
Nikita: Yes.
Operations: What?
Nikita: This. (Nikita hands
Operartions Giraldi/Sand's business card.)
SYSTEMS
Operations scans the business card for fingerprints. The prints match
that of Charles Sand and his profile comes up on the monitor.
Operations: Send Nikita up here
right away.
SECTION - MAIN LOBBY
Nikita: Hey.
Michael: You will have to study
the numbers Analysis gives us.
Nikita: Sure.
Michael: Where are you going?
Nikita: To see Operations.
Michael: Why?
Nikita: He has questions about
Algiers.
Michael: That was two weeks
ago.
Nikita: I guess he's still
reviewing it.
OBSERVATION DECK
Operations: Does Michael know
about this?
Nikita: No. In fact, I just lied
to him about this. I told him that I was up here to talk about
Algiers.
Operations: Good. Don't mention
this to anyone.
Nikita: Who is he?
Operations: Every once in a while
someone turns up where they shouldn't.
Nikita: Why does he know so much
about Section One?
Operations: I don't know yet. What
else did he say to you?
Nikita: That he was waiting for us
and that I should speak only to you.
Operations: Ok. Report to
duty. The only adjustment you need to make is to treat anything he
says as unreliable.
Nikita: Don't you think we should
tell Michael about this?
Operations: Not yet.
Nikita: What about the integrity
of our cover?
Operations: I told you what to
do. Don't worry, both you and Michael will be protected.
Nikita nods and leaves. Operations is not a good liar, his story
doesn't hold together.
SECTION CORRIDOR
Walter stops Nikita in the corridor.
Walter: Hey!
Nikita: Hey.
Walter: Getting back?
Nikita: Yeah.
Walter: You ok?
Nikita: I'm fine.
Walter: You don't seem so
fine. I'm worried about you.
Nikita: Walter, it's just this
place. It gets to me sometimes, that's all. I was in pretty bad shape
this time the last year. I don't wanna feel that way again.
Walter: Sugar, listen, you can't
change the way they treat you. The only thing you can change is the
way you treat yourself. Why don't you go out? Have a good time, find a
man. (Nikita smiles) See? Just thinking about it makes you feel
better, right?
Nikita: Good night, Walter.
Walter: Good night, sugar.
NIKITA'S APARTMENT
Carla: I don't care what you say,
buying a dog is a big step. It's like having a kid together.
Nikita: Sounds very serious.
Carla: Yeah, it feels
serious. He's late, I thought he would be.
Nikita: Why?
Carla: I don't know, he's shy. I'm
surprised he didn't call and cancel at last minute.
Nikita: I'm sure he's just stuck
in traffic. He'll be here.
Carla: Hey, thanks for calling. I
love doing stuff in the middle of the week.
Nikita: Me too.
The phone rings. You can tell Nikita is reluctant to answer it, afraid
that it's Section One.
Nikita: Hello? Great, come on
up. (Nikita hangs up the phone.) He's here.
Carla opens the door.
Carla: Great. It's about time,
fella. Look at you, all dressed up."
Carla's boyfriend enters the apartment, and he's one of the mystery
goatee twins (now known as Steven).
Nikita: Hi.
Steven: Hi.
Nikita: Nice to meet you.
Steven: Nice to meet you.
Nikita: Hope you're hungry,
there's plenty of food.
Steven: Yeah, sure.
Nikita: Want some wine?
Steven: Yeah, that would be good.
Nikita: Help yourself.
Steven: Yeah.
Carla: I don't know about you two,
but I'm starved. Hey, let me get that!
The music and a close-up on Steven's face should tip off anyone who
hasn't noticed him (them) yet in the other episodes.
LOUNGE
Michael, Nikita, Goellner, and Sand are sitting around a
table. Everyone has a laptop in front of them. Michael and Goellner
are engaged in business talk.
Goellner: I'm gonna need those
funds in position by the 13th. Have a client that will need them, a
fairly large portion.
Michael: I'd like to get them in
place sooner. I've already talked to the CEO of that bank, the rates
are coming down.
Goellner: Good, good. Now what
about those barrier bars?
Michael: I don't think you should
touch those right now.
Goellner: Really? What do you
think, Karl?
Sand: Well, let's take a
look. What's your opinion on this, Michael?
Michael: The accounts would be too
visible.
Sand: Why?
Michael: Last spring the European
bank networked into the Asian markets. That exposed all continental
accounts to routine surveillance. We'd probably get away with it, but
I don't think you'd take that chance.
Goellner: You're a bright boy,
he's a bright boy, Karl.
Sand: Oh yes, he's a very bright
boy.
Michael: All right, then we'll
keep those in place and start staggering the other accounts.
Sand: (to Nikita) It seems
that rain is in the schedule. Would you like to see it?
Nikita: Yes, please.
Sand turns his laptop around so Nikita can see his screen. It
shows
MEET ME BACK AT HERE AT 11:30.
Nikita: Fine, make a hard
copy.
LOUNGE - 11:30 pm
Some thunders can be heard and the house looks just like in one of the
Tales from the Crypt. Nikita walks in, cautious. Sand turns on a
light.
Sand: Did you speak to Operations
about me?
Nikita: Who are you?
Sand: You know damned well who I
am. Why aren't they bringing me in?
Nikita: I have no idea what you're
talking about.
Sand: He didn't tell you. Which
means, either he's worried that I've been turned, and he's trying to
be cautious, or he never intended to bring me back in.
Nikita: What are you saying?
Sand: Why do you think you and
Michael are here?
Nikita: To move Goellner's
money.
Sand: Goellner asked me to check
you up before meeting you. As I begun digging into your histories,
something started to nor me, a vaguely familiar pattern. It reminded
me of the background I was given before I was put into place. That's
why I cleared you. (he comes closer) Charles Sand, first year
operative. I've been out for 9 years, waiting for someone to bring me
back in. I'm Section One.
Later, Nikita is on a couch, Sand in standing, looking down some
balcony.
Sand: I was grabbed in mid mission
by Red Cell. To this day I don't know how it was made.
Nikita: What about the rest of the
team?
Sand: Killed during egress.
Nikita: How did you survive all
these years?
Sand: I've kept myself alive by
feeding Red Cell disposable Section intel. They wanted to kill me,
when I formed a relationship with one of the soldiers who eventually
went out on his own.
Nikita: Goellner.
Sand: Yes.
Nikita: If what you're telling me
is true, why did you never contact the Section?
Sand: I tried. They must have
closed down my channel.
Nikita: And now you want me to
bring you back in.
Sand: You've got to bring me back
in.
Nikita: I was told not to trust
anything you said, so unless you have something hard on Goellner,
there's nothing more to discuss.
Sand takes a CD out of his pocket.
Sand: Here, take this.
Nikita: What is it?
Sand: Take it to comm. They'll
pull off the specifics. It's the only chance of bringing Goellner
down. You and Michael can't do it alone. Trust me.
Nikita stands up and prepares to leave.
Sand: And if Operations still
doesn't believe me, speak to Madeline.
Nikita: Madeline?
Sand: She would want to know I'm
still alive.
NIKITA'S APARTMENT
Nikita enters her apartment. Operations is in her apartment, smoking a
cigar. (Didn't anybody tell him that it is rude to smoke without
the owner's permission?)
Operations: You met him?
Nikita: You could have let me know
he was a Section operative.
Operations: What did he tell
you?
Nikita: He gave me this, he claims
it's the only way to get to Goellner.
Operations: He doesn't think our
approach will work.
Nikita: No.
Operations: That's
interesting.
Nikita: I don't understand, do we
trust this guy, or don't we?
Operations: Nothing's
changed. I'll look at this and let Michael know how we're going to
proceed.
Nikita: And what do I tell Michael
when he asks me where I got the disc?
Operations: Nothing. If there's
anything useful on it, I'll file it to Michael myself. You were never
involved.
Nikita: It seems strange, if he's
one of ours, why we're not protecting him?
Operations: Just do what I tell
you, Nikita.
Nikita: He says he's been waiting
for 9 years.
Operations: This is how it has to
be handled.
SYSTEMS
Michael: We're going to be out of
range. Use the tri-pick-up, we can't risk the chance of a
drop-out. Goellner will have his eyes on the file the entire time.
Operations: How is it going?
Michael: We should be able to
access the holders accounts before the day down.
Operations: Good.
Michael: We'll have a complete
profile ready in an hour.
Operations: I need to speak to
Michael alone.
The other operatives leave the room.
Operations: I've upgraded Nikita's
status for this mission. She'll be reporting to me directly.
Michael: Why?
Operations: I have a variable I'd
like to isolate and I need you to handle all the primaries.
Michael: Is this a singularity or
is it a permanent upgrade?
Operations: We'll see how it
goes. Do you have a problem with any of this?
Michael: Nikita performs best when
she's scripted. I don't think she's ready.
Operations: I disagree. It's never
easy, but you are going to have to let go sometime, Michael.
MICHAEL'S OFFICE
Michael is typing on his laptop. He notices Nikita pausing outside of
his office.
Nikita: Michael, do you have a
minute?
Michael: Come in.
Nikita stares at the device that secures Michael's office. Michael
gets the message and secures the room.
Nikita: Has Operations ever asked
you to do something outside of mission parameters?
Michael: Yes.
Nikita: What did you do?
Michael: What do you want to know?
What will happen to you if you don't obey him?
Nikita: I don't know why I came
here. I don't have a choice. I gotta do what he wants.
Michael: Think it through. But
more importantly you will have to stop coming to me. I'm no longer
your mentor.
Nikita looks hurt and confused from what she probably perceived as
rejection. Michael's pride was hurt when Operations insinuated that he
was reluctant to let go of Nikita, and to prove himself that
Operations was wrong, he takes it on Nikita and shuts her off.
SYSTEMS
It's late at night. Section One is completely deserted except for
Nikita, who looks tired and unhappy. Birkoff shows up, walking
slowly.
Birkoff: This better be priority 3
or higher.
Nikita: Sorry to wake you, but
it's important.
Birkoff: What are we looking
for?
Nikita: Incoming communications on
dormant channels.
Birkoff: Friendly, or hostile?
Nikita: Friendly. An operative
believed dead. Just trying to get back in.
Birkoff: Ok. (she's got his
attention now). Over here. Alias or real name?
Nikita: Charles Sand.
Birkoff enters the name. The computer shows "NO MATCH FOUND".
Birkoff: No, nothing.
Nikita: How about Giraldi?
Birkoff: No. Can I go back to bed
now?
Nikita: What if someone from the
inside was trying to reroute?
Birkoff: We need to know who.
Nikita: Operations. (Birkoff
looks at her, stunned) Just try it.
Birkoff types "New criteria: reroutes". The answer is
"Loading archived files"
Birkoff: Wow.
Nikita: What is it?
Birkoff: Charles Sand, first year
operative, went dark in the past formation 9 years ago.
Nikita: Went dark, what does that
mean?
Birkoff: Someone pushed a button
on this guy in the middle of an operation. Looks like he was hung out
to dry. For no particular reason, he had a perfect record.
Nikita: What's his status?
Birkoff: That's the weird thing,
he's listed as dead, but there's comm from him, every month.
Nikita: Who received it?
Birkoff: That would be
Operations. He rerouted the communications to a sync file, then
trashed them. What's going on?
SYSTEMS
Michael comes in, looks at an operative analyzing a map, then goes to
a computer. Nikita comes in too.
Michael: Did you check in with
Walter?
Nikita: Yeah. He said 4 teams,
seems pretty heavy. What's going on?
Michael: We have new intel on
Goellner.
Nikita: Really? What kind?
Michael: It's on your panel.
Nikita: Where did we get the
information?
Michael: Operations. He sourced it
from Eastern Europe. We leave in 2 hours.
The panel says that the first objective is Goellner who should be
brought in alive, and his accounts ceased. As secondary objective, all
other persons on site will be disposed of.
Nikita: Michael, we're gonna kill
Giraldi?
Michael: He's collateral.
Nikita: Why?
Michael: Operations only wants
Goellner alive. (he stares at her for a moment) What's the
problem, we have work to do?
Nikita: Yeah, right.
Nikita leaves, Michael looks after her, thoughtful.
MADELINE'S OFFICE
Madeline is working at her workstation, Nikita comes in.
Madeline: What are you doing here?
I thought you were prepping for a mission.
Nikita slides the panel across Madeline's desk. It showed the bio on
Charles Sand.
Madeline: Where did you get this?
Nikita: He's an incidental on my
current mission. I'd like to know who he is, and why does Operations
want him dead.
Madeline: Tell me what you
know.
Nikita: Charles Sand, 1st tier
operative, been out over 9 years, waiting for us to bring him back
in.
Madeline: Then why are you here?
Nikita: Operations claims he's
lying and wants him to be killed on today's mission. I think that's
extreme, especially if he's one of ours.
Madeline: Has the mission profile
been set?
Nikita: Yes. Madeline, he said if
there is a problem to speak to you. Who is he and why does Ops want
him dead?
Madeline: Doesn't look good if we
can't keep track of our own people.
Nikita: He didn't loose
track.
Madeline: What do you mean?
Nikita: He's been trying to
contact Section since he's been out. Ops has been intercepting his
communiques.
Madeline: I want you to bring him
in.
Nikita: How? The profiles have
already been set.
Madeline: Just do it. I'll deal
with Operations.
Nikita: And Michael?
Madeline: Find something on site,
use it to create doubt. Tell Michael we need to bring in Sand before
we kill him.
Nikita: Madeline, who is he?
Madeline: My husband.
SYSTEMS - BRIEFING
Michael: Goellner plans to quietly
acquire controlling interest in banks in several central African
economies. He will be meeting with the leaders of rebel armies today
to disperse funds for large arms transaction.
Birkoff: He'll be particularly
vulnerable at this meeting. Closest deal, he'll have to move funds on
3 continents in real time.
Michael: The primary team will be
responsible of getting control of the computer while he's
online. Secondary team will bring down the terrorists.
MUNITIONS
Michael: Some scopes for the
outside team and another set of P6s for the ops on point.
Walter: Will do. (noticing
Nikita) Hey, hi, sugar.
Nikita: Hi. Profile's been
locked.
Michael: Ok. Get you gear and meet
me in van access.
Walter: They've changed the optics
on your scope, you get an extra 5 degrees of slop.
Nikita: Do you know Charles Sand?
Walter: Who told you about him?
Nikita: He's Madeline's husband,
isn't he?
Walter: Was. He's dead. Killed
during a mission.
Nikita: He's alive.
Walter: What are you talking
about?
Nikita: He works with
Goellner. Operations wants him dead, Madeline wants me to bring him in
alive.
Walter: Are you telling me you
have separate confidences with both of them?
Nikita: Yes. (Nikita puts her
hands over her face.)
Walter: Oh, boy.
Operations interrupts their conversation before Walter can give Nikita
any advice.
Operations: Nikita! I'd like to
talk to you a moment.
Nikita: (to Walter)
Thanks.
Walter: You're welcome, sugar.
Operations: Have you studied the
profile?
Nikita: Yes, I have.
Operations: I expect everything
will go according to plan?
Nikita: Sure.
Operations: Good.
VAN ACCESS
Michael stands by the door, watching three operatives go to the van,
followed by Nikita who hesitates.
Michael: What's the problem?
(now he wants to know)
Nikita: No problem.
Madeline is standing down the hall, watching the team leave.
LOUNGE
Goellner and Sand are having a meeting with several rebel
leaders.
Goellner: Even though your cause
is just, I know you can't expect the full support of an army if bare
necessities need to be met. I'll provide that as well as the
initiative material. Once in power, we expect an atrocity. After
you've nationalized your banks, Mister Giraldi will organize the
governing boards. All financial decision from that point on will be
leaded by us.
Birkoff: Ok, Michael, they're all
in. I'll give you the signal when he gets online.
Michael: All teams step on your
mark.
Sand: These are your operating
accounts for the next two weeks. I've put in what I believe to be
sufficient amounts. Contact me of it overruns and I will deal with it
personally.
Birkoff: Ok, he's plugged
in. You're clear, Michael.
Michael: First team, go.
Section operatives enter the room, and kill everybody except for
Goellner and Sand. Nikita motions Sand to get out. Sand runs out of
the room.
Nikita: I got him!
Sand waits for Nikita in an empty room downstairs.
Sand: Goellner's laptop is loaded
with hot files. Get it! I'll decode it in Section.
She takes out her gun to cancel him. Sand is confused and
shocked.
Sand: What're you doing?
Nikita: I've been ordered to kill
you.
Sand: Did you speak to
Madeline?
Nikita: Yes, I did.
Sand: And what did she say?
She has the gun pointed at him, and hesitates to shoot. A voice
interrupts Nikita.
Madeline: That would be all,
Nikita. I can take it from here. Watch the door, I'll need a
minute.
Nikita leaves the room. Sand and Madeline smile at each other, very
happy.
Sand: Madeline.
Madeline: Hello, Charles.
Nikita watches from outside as the two embrace. You can see Nikita
lightly shaking her head. Probably thinking about the hypocrisy of
Section One. She is sad that Charles has been cast out of Section and
separated from Madeline for so many years, and Operations only wants
him dead instead of bringing him back. Two guns shots shocks Nikita
out of her reverie.
Madeline leaves the room, Sand's body is lying motionless on the
floor.
Madeline: It was wrong of me to
put you in this position. Operations was right.
Nikita: He was your husband.
Madeline: Yes, he was.
Nikita: How could you kill him?
Madeline: There was no way to
bring him back, his presence outside the Section for so many years
would undermine our credibility, and letting him go wasn't an
option. He understood that.
MADELINE'S OFFICE
Operations comes in. Madeline looks at him very coldly.
Operations: Just read the
debrief. Quite a shock. Charles never tried to contact you over the
years?
Madeline: No.
Operations: Yet it's hard to
believe that he switched his allegiance to the other side.
Madeline: Yes, it is.
Operations: Must be hard on
you.
Madeline: I'll get over it.
Operations: Well, at least the
mission was a success. We stopped the deals and got control of
Goellner's accounts.
Madeline: Good. (she barely
smiles)
Operations is about to leave the room.
Madeline: Congratulations.
Operations: Thank you.
This probably means that he and Charles had been rivals in the past
and Madeline congratulates him for getting rid of Charles without her
being able to do anything about it. The rivalry was most likely over
her, but could have been also about positions in Section.
NIKITA'S APARTMENT
Carla is crying on the sofa, and Nikita is comforting her.
Nikita: You want to tell me what
happened?
Carla: I went out with a few
people and I got home late, but only by half an hour. He went
crazy. Ah ... I've never seen him like that before.
Nikita: Did he hit you?
Carla: I can't go back there.
Nikita: You can stay here.
Carla: I can't. I can find a
place.
Nikita: You been through a lot
right now. It's no problem.
Carla: My life is such a
mess.
The phone rings.
Nikita: Hello?
Michael: Josephine.
Nikita: Yeah, thanks.
Carla: You have to go.
Nikita: Yeah.
Carla: When are you going to be
back?
Nikita: I don't know, but you just
stay here and relax, OK? Make yourself at home. Carla, don't call
him.
Nikita leaves her apartment. Carla throws away her kleenx, and takes
out her cellphone. She dials a number.
Carla: I'm in.
On the other end of the phone is Steven, aka goatee man.
