Love And Country
Transcript by Cathy

SECTION ONE
 
A man is dragged down the hall into the white room by two operatives. They pass Michael who is standing in the hallway.
Caspi: I already told you everything I know. I don't know anything, I'm telling you. I don't know anything.
The two ops strap him into the metal chair and leave. Michael enters.
Caspi: You don't have to do this. I'll cooperate. Send me back out, I'll source you out wherever I can.
The door creaks open and Operations enters.
Caspi: Please don't hurt me.
Operations: (to Michael) What's his name?
Michael: Benito Caspi.
Operations: Mr. Caspi, tell me about your relationship with Badenheim.
Caspi: I don't know who that is.
Operations: (to Michael) That will be all.
Michael leaves. Operations walks around the man and leans down next to him to talk to him.
Operations: You work for a group called Badenheim. You were personally responsible for the bombings in Kosovo and Latvia.
Caspi: What?
Operations: This is your only way out of it alive. Badenheim used you to funnel money into the campaign of Nikolai Markali. Isn't that right?
Caspi: Yes, that's right.
Operations: (looks up at the camera and speaks to it) Okay, start recording. You were saying, Mr. Caspi?
Caspi: I worked for a group called Badenheim. We funneled money into the campaign of Nikolai Markali.
Madeline is observing and looks like she has doubts about what is taking place.

BRIEFING ROOM

Operations: Nikolai Markali is making a bid for the chairmanship of the supreme judicial chamber. If he succeeds, he will serve as the pivotal position in that part of the world. We have intel that indicates he is being funded by Badenheim. If he wins election, he will be the puppet for terrorists.
Cut to Madeline, still wearing a look as if she knows he's lying or that something else is going on.
Operations: Unfortunately, we cannot take him out using direct means.
Michael: Why not?
Operations: Markali is popular with the people. If anything should happen to him, it could cause a backlash that could take down the existing government. We don't want that.
Michael: So we work from within?
Operations: Yes. This is Corinne Markali, Nikolai's wife. They've been married for 21 years. She will bring him down for us. Your panels will be loaded within the hour. Oh, one last thing. This mission has a personal component, which will not impact on how you approach tactical. Nikolai is Corinne's second husband. I was her first.

THE PERCH

Operations: (on the phone with George) It's a judgment call. It's my call and you're interfering. That's your opinion. I'm a lot closer to this than you are. Fine. Come in here and do it yourself. No I'm not, I'm doing my job and you seem to have a problem with that. Yes. Yes, I will. (he concludes the call)
Madeline: Markali?
Operations: Yes. George is still skeptical about Markali. He thinks the evidence against him is too soft.
Madeline: He has a point.
Operations: (very annoyed) What point? He was on the list. We've launched on much less than that in the past.
Madeline: There were other names on that list, too, and they were all clean. You have to admit, it looks like you're going after Markali for personal reasons.

MUNITIONS

Walter is handing out equipment to operatives.
Walter: Uno, dos.
Operative: Thanks Walter.
Walter: Good luck.
Operative: Okay, let's go. (he walks off, Nikita comes up)
Walter: Heard you had a very interesting briefing.
Nikita: Yeah, we did. You know anything about her?
Walter: Operations was a prisoner of war listed as MIA. She waited for a while, lost hope, married Markali. That's all I know, sugar.
Nikita: What happened when Operations returned home?
Walter: He never did, officially. He decided to remain listed as missing and join Section.
Nikita: I wonder what kind of woman would be married to Operations?

PSYCHIATRIST'S OFFICE

Corinne is consulting with Madeline, who is undercover as her new psychiatrist.
Corinne: It took me a long time to be able to ask for help. And... I was just starting to get used to Dr. Bresner, and now this happens. I don't know.
Madeline: You don't know what?
Corinne: Don't take this personally please but, uh, I just don't know if I'm ready to commit to another therapist. Maybe I should just wait for Dr. Bresner to recover from the accident.
Madeline: That's your choice Corinne, and I certainly respect it, but you're here now, so why don’t we talk for an hour and see how it goes?
Corinne: Right. I suppose so.
Madeline: Dr. Bresner filled me in a little bit. You're suffering from general anxiety?
Corinne: Yes, that and also just a feeling that I don’t know where I'm going with my life. I just seem to have lost focus over the last two years.
Madeline: And your marriage, has that lost focus too?
Corinne: No, no, that's the only thing that hasn't. Oh, no, Nikolai is wonderful, he always has been.
Madeline: Tell me a little more about him.
Corinne: He's loving, he's supportive - it doesn't matter how busy he is, he always finds time.

MARKALI'S CAMPAIGN HEADQUARTERS

Nikita is installed as a campaign worker. She's on a phone call.
Nikita: So we're going to be handing out pamphlets at the football stadium, so I'm going to put you down for 200, that would be great. All right, we're going to be handing out pamphlets tomorrow at the stadium, you could help out there, that'd be great.
Markali enters, with a group of other men.
Markali: No, I can't make that promise. It'll have to be on a best efforts basis.
Associate: But he's already made the contribution.
Markali: Well then send it back. The reason I'm running for office in the first place is to stop corruption, not encourage it.
Nikita: (still on the phone) I'll put you down for 200. Great. You can pick them up any time.
Markali, walking by, notices the book lying on the table in front of her.
Markali: Excuse me?
Nikita: Ho - hold on.
Markali: Is this your book?
Nikita: Yes, it is.
Markali: Serious reading, or, uh, Art History 101?
Nikita: I'm interested in the period.
Markali: It's mostly pre-realist. Before the influence...
Nikita: Sedona. I prefer it, personally. Sedona had the largest influence over that period.
Associate: Sir, they're waiting.
Markali: (staring at Nikita) You couldn't have known this. But next to my family and my country, this is what I love the most.
Nikita: I didn't. I do know your politics, though, and that's why I'm here.
Markali: Well, I'm glad you are. What's your name?
Nikita: Nikita.
Markali: Nikita. (They shake hands)

OUTSIDE

Night, outside Markali's headquarters. Markali and Nikita exit the building. A car is seen with a man cocking a gun inside.
Markali: Look at that. Is it ever going to stop snowing? Can I drop you off somewhere?
Nikita: Oh, no thanks, I'll walk, I don't have far to go.
Markali: Well then, good night Nikita.
Nikita: (looks around) You know what? Maybe I will take you up on that ride.
Markali: Car's right here.
Nikita: Great.
She sees the car drive past and sees the shooter. She pushes Markali to the ground as the bullets fly. Markali checks, she appears to be unconscious. His associates run out of the building.
Markali: Nikita? Nikita, are you all right? Go call for help!
Associate: Yes sir!
Markali: Hurry!
In the retreating car, Michael pulls off his mask. He was the shooter.

COMM

Operations: Update me.
Birkoff: Michael just called in. Markali's with Nikita now.
Operations: Did they go to a hospital?
Birkoff: No, they're at the site. A mobile triage unit's taking care of her.
Operations: How much did she accomplish before the incident?
Birkoff: She put audio in the office; she'll be working the computers next.

MARKALI'S CAMPAIGN HEADQUARTERS

A woman hands Nikita a drink.
Woman: There you go.
Nikita: Thank you.
Markali: How are you feeling?
Nikita: Oh I'll be fine. I was lucky.
Markali: No, I was lucky. You saved my life.
Nikita: Who would do such a thing?
Markali: What? Kill me? Would you like the list alphabetically or chronologically?
Nikita: Why? What have you done that somebody would want to hurt you?
Markali: I want to change things and that terrifies people.
Nikita: I'd think that the opposition would want to give their support.
Markali: By opposition, I assume you mean Badenheim? They're nothing but a bunch of criminals with a platform.
Nikita: I thought you shared some of their ideology.
Markali: Now why would you think that?
Nikita: I don't know.
Markali: Are you sure you don't want to spend the night in the hospital?
Nikita: I'm sure, but I could do with that ride home, though.
Markali: Of course.

MADELINE'S OFFICE

Madeline is at her desk; Operations enters.
Operations: How did the second session go?
Madeline: Corinne's starting to open up.
Operations: So she'll continue?
Madeline: I think so. We should be able to start working her soon.
Operations: What are your impressions?
Madeline: She loves Markali very much, and she trusts him completely.
Operations: Will that be a problem?
Madeline: No. Once we medicate her, she'll be under our control.
Operations: Good. (He looks away; seems to be deliberately avoiding her eyes.) Do you have the playback?
Madeline hands it to him; Operations goes up to his loft and inserts the disk. It pulls up the second session Corinne had with Madeline.
Corinne: It gets very competitive amongst the wives in the diplomatic community. I hate it. They're so petty. It was like that with my first husband as well.
Madeline: First husband?
Corinne: Paul. He was killed during the war. Actually, he was missing in action. We never recovered the body. He was an intelligence officer in the military. But I worked through that years ago. What I'm feeling now has nothing to do with Paul.
Operations rewinds, and watches the last two lines again. His expression is a mixture of anger and hurt.

MADELINE'S OFFICE

Nikita enters.
Madeline: I heard it went well.
Nikita: Markali was very grateful. He invited me to dinner.
Madeline: No mention of the wife?
Nikita: Just he and I.
Madeline: When?
Nikita: Thursday night. Restaurant on the north side.
Madeline: Tell him you'd like to cook for him instead. He'll resist. But let him know that nothing would make you happier than to have him in your home. I'll confirm surveillance. (She notices Nikita's distance) What is it, Nikita?
Nikita: Markali doesn't seem to fit the profile we have on him.
Madeline: In what ways?
Nikita: He's not particularly sympathetic to Badenheim. In fact, he hates them.
Madeline: And you know this because he told you?
Nikita: I know this because you trained me to read people.
Madeline: (smiles) You like to believe in people, Nikita. Resist that temptation. You will have one chance to seduce him and I need to know that you can do that.
Nikita: I can do it.
Madeline: That'll be all.
Nikita: (gets up to leave, runs into Operations coming in as she is walking out.) Excuse me. (Nikita leaves)
Operations: How's she doing?
Madeline: She'll be fine.
Operations: George signed off on Markali. We're okay there.
Madeline: That's good for now. But I'd still like to enlarge the connection between Markali and Badenheim.
Operations: For George?
Madeline: No, for me.
Operations: Markali was on the list. He's been associated with high ranking members of Badenheim.
Madeline: Indirectly.
Operations: And he's got resources we've been unable to trace. If he's elected and I'm right, it'll be too late. We won't have this kind of access to him.
Madeline: But if you're not right, then we have a bigger problem. My days consist of sending our people into battle. We cannot allow the perception that they are being used to settle your scores.
Operations: (sarcastic, incredulous, laughs) How dare you accuse me of that?
Madeline: (stays cool as usual) I'm not, I'm just trying to keep the machine running.
Operations: Good! (angry) Then keep it running. (He stalks out)

MUNITIONS

Walter is putting pills into a bottle.
Madeline: Walter. Is my Phenadryl Chloride ready?
Walter: Just about. I'm putting them in a physician's sample - just as you asked for.
Madeline: How long will it take for them to work?
Walter: Paranoia will kick in right away. Within 48 hours, the subject will be unsure of everything, except a desire to take more of these. This stuff is more addictive than heroin.

PSYCHIATIST'S OFFICE

Madeline and Corinne are having another session.
Madeline: There's something you're not facing, Corinne.
Corinne: What do you mean?
Madeline: We've had five sessions now, and I've noticed that whenever you talk about Nikolai, you dispose of the topic quickly and move on to something else.
Corinne: Well, there's nothing to say. Our relationship's fine.
Madeline: Is it really?
Corinne: Yes. What are you getting at?
Madeline: I think much of the anxiety that you've been feeling stems from denial. Superficially, everything between you and your husband might be right. But I think you want the connection to be deeper.
Corinne: I don't see your point.
Madeline: You seem uncomfortable.
Corinne: Well, of course, that's why I'm here in the first place.
Madeline: (smiles) I'd like to give you something. It's similar to what you're taking now, but I think it will be more effective.

NIKITA'S SETUP APARTMENT

Nikita and Markali are having dinner.
Markali: (toasts) To a perfect dinner and a perfect hostess.
Nikita: Thank you.
Markali: There's no way that a man can thank someone for saving his life, so please, just consider this a gift between friends.
Nikita: Oh, you didn't have to do that. (he places a box before her) Wow. I'm glad that you did.
Markali: I hope you like it.
Nikita: (opens it, removes a sculpture) It's beautiful. This isn't-?
Markali: -Sedona. From his earlier period. While he was still an artist.
Nikita: Thank you. (She hugs and kisses him on the cheek, then on the other, and then slides on his lips, looking afterwards as if it was by accident and she's embarassed; there is an uncomfortable moment.)
Markali: I, uh, I think it might look very good right over here.
Nikita: Yeah.

MARKALI'S HEADQUARTERS

The phone rings.
Charles: Markali Headquarters.
Corinne: Hello, Charles, it's Corinne. I'm looking for Nikolai. Is he still there?
Charles: No, he left a couple of hours ago.
Corinne: Hours ago? I thought he was working late tonight.
Charles: Well, he might be, but not here. Want me to try the other office?
Corinne: No, I did, already. Um, is there anything on his calendar?
Charles: No, not 'til the morning.
Corinne: Where do you think he is?
Charles: Well, with the election so close, he might just be out working the districts.
Corinne: Will you let me know if you hear anything, please?
Charles: Absolutely.
Corinne: Thanks.
She hangs up the phone and takes more pills.

NIKITA'S SETUP APARTMENT

Nikita and Markali are playing with some kind of little metal game where you connect the two loops.
Markali: It has to be like this, right? See, it is a trick - you won't show me.
Nikita: (takes it away and does it correctly) Ta-da!
Markali: Let me see those. (He reaches; they join hands and end up kissing, but he stops.) You are very remarkable. And I am very drunk. And it's late.
Nikita: It doesn't have to be late.
Markali: No, it's late. And my supporters would be very disappointed if they could see how I was overextending my limited energy. And they're not the only ones.
Nikita: Your wife.
Markali: What can I say? I'm cursed with a love for her I can't put aside.
Nikita: I understand.
Back at Section, Birkoff and Madeline are watching on a monitor.
Birkoff: He didn't take the bait.
Madeline: (annoyed) She didn't want him to.
Birkoff: What do you mean? She kissed him.
Madeline: Never mind. Can you fix it?
Birkoff: Yeah, I think so.
Madeline: Good.

MARKALI'S HOUSE

His driver drops him off.
Markali: (to the driver) Good night. (He enters the house and sees Corinne) You're still up?
Corinne: I couldn't reach you.
Markali: I'm sorry darling, I went out to dinner with Jacob. We had some things to go over. I must have lost track of the time.
Corinne: I was worried. I don't like you going out without security.
Markali: Ah, nonsense. I refuse to live like that. Now you stop worrying. Hmmm? (they kiss)
Corinne: What time did you leave Jacob?
Markali: Uh, half an hour ago, why?
Corinne: He called here an hour ago.
Markali: Oh, I'm sorry. I meant I left the office a half hour ago. Jacob and I finished up before that. Did he want me to call him back?
Corinne: No, he said he'd see you in the morning.
Markali: Good. I'm tired.

PSYCHIATRIST'S OFFICE

Corinne is having another session with Madeline.
Madeline: What makes you think your husband was lying?
Corinne: I can tell. A woman knows.
Madeline: If he wasn't where he said, what do you suspect he was doing?
Corinne: I don't know.
Madeline: Could he be involved with another woman?
Corinne: No.
Madeline: You seem very sure of that.
Corinne: I am. He'd never cheat on me. (angry, agitated, fusses with her hair)
Madeline: Then why would he lie to you? Could he be involved in something illicit?
Corinne: Absolutely not.
Madeline: Could he be using drugs?
Corinne: No. Why are you saying these things? My husband is not that kind of man.
Madeline: I believe you. But you're the one that came in here in a highly agitated state. Concerned that he may be lying to you. I just want to explore that.
Corinne: I'm sorry. I'm sorry I snapped. I just haven't been sleeping, and this election... and the shooting the other night.
Madeline: Have you been taking your medication?
Corinne: Yes.
Madeline: Maybe we should take you off them.
Corinne: No, no, no, no, it's okay, they're fine. They make me feel better.
Madeline: Okay.

COMM CENTER

Nikita walks up to Birkoff.
Nikita: Hey Birkoff
Birkoff: What's up?
Nikita: How did we confirm the connection between Markali and Badenheim?
Birkoff: We had one of theirs; guy named Benito Caspi.
Nikita: Where is he?
Birkoff: Dead.
Nikita: Who did the interrogation?
Birkoff: Operations.
Nikita: Personally?
Birkoff: Yeah.
Nikita: Isn't that a little bit unusual? (pauses; Birkoff nods) Are we going after an innocent man because Operations wants to get back at his ex-wife?
Birkoff: I don't know.
Nikita looks up at the Perch; Operations glares down...

MARKALI'S HOUSE

The phone rings; Corinne picks it up.
Corinne: Hello? Hello? Who is this? Why do you keep calling? (dial tone)
She shakes out her purse, takes some more pills with what looks like alcohol, takes a piece of paper and gets a number, calls.
Corinne: Yes, Hello. Um, my psychiatrist gave me your number and told me you were a private detective and could help me out with something, discreetly.
Michael: (in Section) What can I do for you?

MADELINE'S OFFICE

Nikita enters.
Madeline: Why didn't you do your job?
Nikita: I did. He wasn't interested in cheating on his wife.
Madeline: (cold) Every man is interested in cheating on his wife. All you had to do was make it your decision, so he could rationalize it.
Nikita: So now what?
Madeline: Go back to Markali's office. Stay in your cover. We'll be using you soon.
Nikita: To do what?
Madeline: We're proceeding.
Nikita: How?

NARKALI'S HOUSE

Videotape of Nikita and Markali on the monitor, kissing.
Markali: I haven't felt this way in years.
Nikita: I feel it, too.
Markali: You're very beautiful.
Nikita: What about Corinne?
Markali: Our marriage has been dead for a long time. I'll leave her after the election no matter the outcome.
Corinne: (watching) That's enough, turn it off.
Michael: I'm sorry.
Corinne: What are you sorry for? Are you cheating on your wife too? (She scribbles out a check and gives it to him) That should be enough.
Michael: Yes. (He goes to leave)
Corinne: The tape? I paid for it. (he hands it to her, hesitates and looks at her) I don't need your pity, I just need you to leave.

MARKALI'S HEADQUARTERS

Nikita is at her desk; the phone rings, it's Birkoff.
Nikita: Markali Headquarters
Birkoff: It's me, do you have your computer on?
Nikita: Yup.
Birkoff: I've unlocked his foreign files, but I can't get them from here.
Nikita: So, what do you need me to do?
Birkoff: You logged in?
Nikita: Uh-huh
Birkoff: We're looking for an account number. It's under the joint name of Fortunato Strand.
(in the background at headquarters)
Charles: You can't just leave, Nikolai! We have to meet with these people!
Markali: They'll have to wait, Charles. Something's come up with Corinne. Tell them I'm sorry, tell them it's an emergency - whatever. Now call for my car and get it over here now.
Nikita shifts her attention back to the computer.
Nikita: Fortunato Strand, got it.
Birkoff: Punch in the number. Good, we're done. (to Operations) We've got it
Operations: How long will it take to go through the numbers?
Birkoff: Depends on how the money was cycled through Europe. Could be 15, 20 hours.
Operations: Come to me first.

MARKALI'S HOME

Markali arrives home, walks in, looks for his wife.
Markali: Corinne? Corinne? Corinne? Corinne, where are you? Corinne? (he hears sobbing, follows it and finds her curled up on the floor) My god Corinne, what is it, what happened?
Corinne: Oh, don't touch me, you bastard!
Markali: (He sees the videotape playing of himself and Nikita making love) What? No. This is a lie. This didn't happen. Listen to me, I swear to you, that's a lie. Someone altered the tape.
Corinne: How could you do this to me?
Markali: This is the woman I told you about who saved my life. I thought you wouldn't understand if we had dinner together, so yes, I lied about that, but I swear on my life, nothing else happened. Where did you get this tape?
Corinne: I hired someone.
Markali: Why?
Corinne: How can you ask me why?
Markali: Listen to me Corinne. Listen to me!
Corinne: No!
Markali: Listen! Someone is trying to discredit me. Probably to prevent me from winning the election. It doesn't matter. It didn't happen. Do you hear me? It didn't happen!

MARKALI'S HEADQUARTERS

Markali strides in angrily and goes straight to Nikita.
Markali: What's going on, Nikita?
Nikita: (innocently) Nikolai?
Markali: What's this about? (waves the tape) Who do you work for?
Nikita: I don't know what that is.
Markali: You don't? Someone recorded our dinner together. There were cameras inside your apartment and the images were doctored. Now somebody went to a hell of a lot of trouble. You set me up!
Nikita: How can you accuse me of setting you up?
Markali: Look it doesn't matter if you were involved, who you are, whatever your agenda. It cannot include destroying my wife.
Nikita: Nikolai, how can I convince you?
Markali: No, don't convince me, convince Corinne! You go to her and tell her that nothing happened.
Nikita: I'm confused.
Markali: Please, Nikita, you're the only one who can help me. If someone wants to destroy my reputation, fine, let them. I don't care. Let the world think of me what it will. But tell Corinne the truth. Please don't let them take her from me.

MARKALI'S HOUSE

Nikita knocks at the door of the house. Corinne comes to it.
Corinne: Oh, look. It's the slut who's sleeping with my husband.
Nikita: Nikolai wanted me to talk to you.
Corinne: Well we've got nothing to talk about. You know, I'm surprised they even let you in the neighborhood.
Nikita: It's about the tape. Nikolai wanted me to tell you that it was fabricated, that I was working for someone who was trying to destroy him politically.
Corinne: Really.
Nikita: That's what he wanted me to tell you. I guess he was looking for a way to gracefully exit your life. I told Nikolai that it was pointless to lie. Eventually you'd find out the truth.
Corinne: What are you saying? I don’t understand.
Nikita: The tape's real, Corinne. We're in love. We're gonna get married after the campaign, after he dumps you.
Corinne: Get out of here! (slams the door)

MARKALI'S HEADQUARTERS

Charles: Nikolai? It's a Dr. Ellis.
Markali: Dr. Ellis? I don't know a Dr. Ellis.
Charles: It's about Corinne. (Markali grabs the phone)
Markali: Who is this?
Madeline: Mr. Markali, I'm your wife's therapist.
Markali: Is there a problem?
Madeline: She came in here earlier and was very disturbed. I tried to reach you, but she wouldn't give me your number. She needs to be admitted to a hospital.
Markali: A hospital? Why? What's wrong with her?
Madeline: She's in a very manic state, and I'm afraid for her own safety.
Markali: What are you saying? Are you saying she's suicidal?
Madeline: That would be my diagnosis, yes.
Markali: Oh my god. What can I do?
Madeline: Find her, make sure she's safe, then don't leave her alone.
Markali: No, no of course I won't. I'll do that. Thank you.

MARKALI'S HOUSE

Corinne creeps suspiciously around. She sees Michael and opens the door for him.
Corinne: So, what was it you couldn't tell me over the phone?
Michael: It's about your husband. I think you're in danger.
Corinne: What do you mean?
Michael: I got a call from someone I use for information. Your husband bought an unregistered gun. So I checked it out. He's - he's planning to kill you.
Corinne: Oh, no!
Michael: I've posted a couple of guards in front of the house. He won't be able to get in.
Corinne: And you'll stay with me, right?
Michael: No. I'll try to stop him before he gets here.
Corinne: Please, you can't leave me alone, please!
Michael: I'm sure you won't need this - but you'll be safer with it. (Hands her a gun) Take it. Now lock your doors. As soon as I pick up your husband I'll call okay? You'll be all right, trust me.
Corinne creeps around the house, jumping at every noise. She hears gunshots outside and sees the guards lying in the snow. In Section, Madeline and Operations watch her on one monitor; Nikita watches on another. Gunfire is heard outside and she believes Markali just killed Michael and the guards. She yells, terrified. She glances out the window and the guards are lying down, motionless.
Corinne: (to nobody) Don't come near me - don't come near me! Who's there? Who's there? Nikolai, I'm not afraid of you, I'm not afraid of you!
Markali arrives home, enters the house looking for his wife.
Markali: Corinne? Corinne? Corinne? (He finally sees her on the stairs) Oh my darling, thank God. I was so worried.
She shoots him. He falls next to her, dead. Corinne looks at the gun, calmly. Nikita looks away from the monitor, struck. Operations and Madeline exchange a long look.

THE PERCH

Madeline: The first wave of press clippings have come in. There's no question that Markali's death was a personal matter.
Operations: Will there be an inquiry?
Madeline: Yes. But they'll find nothing.
Operations: Good. What about Markali's connection to Badenheim?
Madeline: It was much deeper than we even suspected. Once Birkoff decrypted Markali's account, he was able to confirm a four year chain of contacts. I owe you an apology.
Operations: Not at all. (smiles) You were doing your job. So, where are we on Pakistan?
Madeline: I've already signed off on Personnel. We'll deploy this afternoon.
Operations: What time do I go online with the Committee?
Focus shifts to the Section floor; Nikita walks along and Michael calls down from above.
Michael: Did you hear?
Nikita: About Markali?
Michael: He was dirty after all.
Nikita: Yeah. Doesn't make me feel any better.
She turns and walks away.

MARKALI'S HOUSE

A car drives up. Operations rolls down the window and watches through binoculars as Corinne is helped into a waiting wheelchair. She seems dazed. She watches in his direction, she might have seen him and thought she was hallucinating. He watches for a while and then puts the car window back up.
