I WANT THE INFORMATION

OR FOUR INNOCENT PEOPLE

WILL DIE.

Man: We'll do the best we can.

I WANT THE INFORMATION

OR THREE INNOCENT PEOPLE WILL DIE.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

MADELINE WANTS TO SEE ME.

ARE YOU SURE?

YEAH.

WHY?

I THINK SHE'S TIED UP RIGHT NOW.

OH.

WHAT'S YOUR ANSWER?

Okay.

We'll give you

what you want.

GOOD NEWS.

THEY MET MY DEMANDS.

MADELINE.

COME IN.

OH...

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

I WAS JUST DOING A V.R. SIM.

OF WHAT?

DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS THAT I DO HERE?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

MY JOB DESCRIPTION.

WELL, YOU TELL US WHAT TO DO

WHO TO KILL...

MY PRIMARY FUNCTION...

IS TO GET INSIDE THE ENEMY'S HEAD...

ANTICIPATE HIS NEXT MOVE WHENEVER POSSIBLE.

SO WHO'S HEAD ARE YOU GETTING INTO NOW?

YOU'LL FIND OUT IN THE NEXT 12 HOURS.

I WANT YOU TO STUDY THIS FILE.

THAT'S IT?

IT'S GOING TO BE A VERY COMPLICATED MISSION.

I'M GOING TO WANT EVERYONE UP TO SPEED.

THE FILE SHOULD GIVE YOU A LEG UP

ON WHAT WE'RE DOING.

ARE YOU SURE THERE'S NOTHING WRONG?

SOMETIMES

I DON'T KNOW IF I'M STILL STRONG ENOUGH

TO DO THIS.

YOU'RE THE STRONGEST PERSON I'VE EVER MET.

YOU'VE NEVER MET GREGOR KESSLER.

WHO?

I'LL SEE YOU IN THE MORNING.

THANK YOU.

Woman: CHERCHEZ LA FEMME.

CHERCHEZ LA FEMME.

DANS LA NUIT. DANS LA NUIT.

HE CALLS HIMSELF "GREGOR KESSLER"...

BUT THAT'S NOT HIS REAL NAME.

THIS IS ALSO GREGOR KESSLER.

AND THIS...

IS GREGOR KESSLER.

HIS NAME IS NOT THE ONLY MYSTERY.

NO ONE HAS EVER SEEN HIS REAL FACE.

HE'S A MASTER OF DISGUISE

AND MOVES AROUND THE GLOBE AT WILL.

WE'RE ASSUMING THAT HE'S MOVING WEST

AND WE'RE DOING WHAT WE CAN TO SEAL THE BORDERS.

Nikita: HOW DO WE KNOW THAT'S HIM?

EACH OF THESE MEN WAS TRACKED

BUT NEVER CAUGHT IN UNRELATED TERRORIST INCIDENTS.

HOWEVER, WE DID GET CLOSE ENOUGH TO GATHER TRACE MATERIAL.

D.N.A. RESIDUE SHOWED THAT THEY WERE ALL THE SAME PERSON.

Nikita: SO WHAT'S KESSLER DONE NOW?

Operations: NOTHING... YET.

WE HAVE ADVANCE INTEL?

A THREAT WAS MADE AGAINST THE WEST

BY A GROUP WE'VE BEEN MONITORING:

THE UNITED COALITION.

UNLESS THEIR DEMANDS ARE MET... WHICH WILL NOT HAPPEN...

THEY SAY THEY WILL CONTAMINATE THE WATER SUPPLY OF A MAJOR CITY

WITH THE RADIOACTIVE AGENT COBALT-60.

WE GET THREATS EVERY DAY.

WHAT GIVES THIS ONE CREDIBILITY?

ONE OF OUR OPERATIVES INSIDE THE COALITION

DECODED A COMMUNIQUE:

CONFIRMATION OF INITIAL PAYMENT TO KESSLER.

IF KESSLER WAS HIRED BY THE COALITION

THE THREAT WARRANTS

PRIORITY COUNTERMEASURES.

WE DON'T KNOW WHO HE IS...

BUT WE DO KNOW WHAT HE IS:

A TERRORIST WITH THE BLOOD LUST

OF A SERIAL KILLER

AND A STRATEGIC PROWESS OF A CHESS MASTER.

YOU DON'T GET MANY CHANCES WITH SOMEONE LIKE KESSLER.

WE CAN'T MISS A BEAT.

SO KESSLER COULD BE ANYBODY.

THAT'S RIGHT.

HOW DO WE FIND HIM?

FOLLOW THE COBALT.

C-60 IS TIGHTLY CONTROLLED.

EVERY GRAM IS ACCOUNTED FOR.

THERE'S BEEN NONE REPORTED MISSING

SO KESSLER HASN'T MADE HIS MOVE YET.

THERE ARE 15 FACILITIES WORLDWIDE

THAT MANUFACTURE THE ISOTOPE.

SEVEN ARE IN REMOTE LOCATIONS IN THE FAR EAST

AND WOULD TAKE AT LEAST THREE DAYS TO GET TO THEM.

HE DOESN'T HAVE THAT KIND OF TIME.

OUR SOURCES SAY THE INCIDENT

IS EXPECTED BEFORE THE END OF THE WEEK.

GOOD.

YOU CAN ALSO RULE OUT BRAZIL AND ARGENTINA.

THEY'RE GOVERNMENT FACILITIES.

THERE'S TOO MUCH SECURITY.

HE WOULDN'T NEED TO TAKE THAT KIND OF RISK.

THAT LEAVES SIX IN THE AMERICAS AND EUROPE.

THREE OF THOSE ARE UNDER

THE DIRECT CONTROL OF C.I.A. OR NATO.

WE WISH HE'D WALK

INTO ONE OF THEM.

WE'RE DOWN TO THREE.

WHAT ARE THEY?

A DEFENSE CONTRACTOR IN TORONTO...

A NUCLEAR MEDICINE COMPANY

IN ECUADOR...

AND A CHIP MANUFACTURER

IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA.

WELL, FORGET ECUADOR.

WHY?

HE'LL BE WEARING A MASK.

YOU EVER WEAR LATEX IN 100% HUMIDITY?

SO IT'S CALIFORNIA OR TORONTO.

THE RECEIPT.

WHAT RECEIPT?

THE ONE FROM KESSLER?

INITIAL PAYMENT

FOR SERVICES RENDERED.

HOW MUCH WAS IT FOR?

$772,592, U.S.

CONVERT THAT TO THE CANADIAN DOLLAR

USING THE EXCHANGE RATE FROM THE DATE OF RECEIPT.

EXACTLY $1 MILLION, CANADIAN.

HE'S IN TORONTO.

GET THE PLANE READY.

UH, MR. HAYES?

WHAT IS IT?

IT'S FOR THE NEW SPECTRUM ANALYZER?

PRICES ARE GOING THROUGH THE ROOF.

FIND ANOTHER SUPPLIER.

GOOD MORNING.

VERY NICE SUIT, MR. HAYES.

YEAH. HI.

MICHAEL, SOMEONE JUST

WENT INTO THE ISOTOPE ROOM.

Michael: THIS SHOULD BE HAYES, THE PROJECT LEADER.

HE RESETS THE ALARM CODE EVERY TWO HOURS.

GREEN TEAM, CONFIRM IDENTITY... JULIAN HAYES.

I HAVE CONFIRMATION ON HAYES.

ALL RIGHT.

All our operators are currently servicing other clients.

Please do not hang up.

DAMN IT!

WHAT'S THE MATTER, MR. HAYES?

OH, MY CAR WON'T START.

WHY DON'T YOU POP THE HOOD?

I'LL TAKE A LOOK AT IT FOR YOU.

Please do not hang up.

YEAH.

OKAY.

MICHAEL, THE ROOM WITH THE COBALT.

WHAT ABOUT IT?

THE MONITOR'S OUT.

BLUE TEAM, ISOTOPE ROOM.

GO.

HE SCRAMBLED THE CODE.

STAND BACK.

MICHAEL, HE'S OUT.

NORTH SIDE DOOR OF THE OUTER OFFICE.

PURSUE.

WE CAN'T.

HE'S PUT UP A BARRIER.

I'M WORKING ON IT NOW.

KESSLER.

WE'VE GOT HIM.

THEN IT'S OVER?

NOT YET.

SOMEHOW HE GOT RID OF THE COBALT.

WERE WE ABLE TO TRACE IT?

NO. HE MUST NOT HAVE BEEN WORKING ALONE.

WHERE IS HE NOW?

EN ROUTE.

KESSLER IS NO GOOD TO US

UNLESS HE TELLS US WHERE TO FIND THAT COBALT.

Birkoff: HIS REAL NAME IS NORRIS GAINES.

HE WAS BORN IN GERMANY IN 1946.

HIS PARENTS WERE POLISH IMMIGRANTS.

THEY WERE MURDERED IN 1952

BY A XENOPHOBIC HATE GROUP.

HE WAS TAKEN INTO A STATE FACILITY

WHERE HE STAYED FOR EIGHT YEARS.

BY ALL ACCOUNTS, HE WAS AN INTROVERT...

NO FRIENDS

NO SPECIAL INTERESTS.

THEN WITHOUT EXPLANATION

HE TORTURED AND MURDERED TWO STUDENTS.

HE ESCAPED, WENT UNDERGROUND

WHERE HE REMAINED

UNTIL HE RESURFACED 11 YEARS LATER

AS GREGOR KESSLER.

CLICK ON

THE BACKGROUND WINDOW.

THERE MIGHT BE SOMETHING THERE YOU CAN USE.

DID YOU WORK UP HIS NON-OPERATIONAL PROFILE?

HE LIVED WITH A WOMAN IN AMSTERDAM

FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS IN THE EARLY '80s.

CAN WE GET

TO HER?

DIED IN LABOR.

THE CHILD?

WE'RE CHECKING IT OUT.

ARE YOU READY?

IF YOU WERE OUR TYPICAL GUEST, YOU'D HAVE BEEN TORTURED

TO WITHIN AN INCH OF YOUR LIFE BY NOW.

HERE'S MY OFFER.

IF YOU COOPERATE

WE'LL ASSIGN YOU TO AN INTERNMENT

THAT WILL BE BEARABLE.

I AM SORRY ABOUT YOUR SISTER.

HMM.

WE'LL FIND THE COBALT WITH OR WITHOUT YOU.

IT MUST HAVE BEEN SO HARD ON YOU, HUH?

YOU'RE SO YOUNG AND...

YOUR PSYCHE IS SO VULNERABLE.

HMM...

THINGS WOULD BE EASIER ALL AROUND IF YOU HELP.

I KNEW A LITTLE GIRL A LONG TIME AGO

WHO USED TO SING THIS SONG.

SHE'S GONE NOW.

HE'S GETTING TO HER.

ON THE OTHER HAND...

WE CAN MAKE THINGS UNBEARABLE.

HMM...

YESTERDAY...

I SAW UPON A STAIR

A LITTLE GIRL WHO WAS NOT THERE.

SHE WAS NOT THERE AGAIN TODAY.

GEE, I WISH SHE'D GO AWAY.

HMM?

I DON'T KNOW.

IT CAN'T BE INTUITION.

HE RESEARCHED HER.

HE KNOWS ABOUT THE SECTION.

OH, NO, NOW, WHY DO WE NEED HIM?

JUST WHEN WE WERE HAVING SUCH FUN, THE TWO OF US.

YES. 10cc's.

NO, NO, PLEASE, DON'T DO THIS.

DON'T DO THIS.

THIS INFORMATION

IS VERY COMPLICATED...

NAMES, NUMBERS.

I WON'T BE ABLE TO REMEMBER IF YOU...

THAT TIGHTENING AND THAT PAIN THAT YOU FEEL IN YOUR CHEST

WILL ONLY GET WORSE.

IT'S CAUSED BY...

MEPHOBARBITAL.

I RECOGNIZE IT RIGHT AWAY.

YOU KNOW, WHAT I CAN'T UNDERSTAND

IS WHY PEOPLE DON'T LIKE THIS DRUG BECAUSE...

IT'S SO LOVELY.

IS THERE MORE?

THERE'S MORE.

OH, GOOD.

ANOTHER 10cc's.

OH, YES, PLEASE, DON'T BE SHY.

YES, DO.

DEHYDRATE HIM.

MADELINE...

I'M SORRY ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO HER.

Operations: WE'VE FOUND KESSLER'S DAUGHTER.

WHERE?

OSLO.

SHE'S A FOREIGN EXCHANGE STUDENT AT THE UNIVERSITY.

I NEED FOR YOU TO BRING HER IN.

HOW DO YOU WANT US TO DO THAT?

BIRKOFF FOUND OUT

THAT HE'S BEEN SUPPORTING HER FOR ALL THESE YEARS.

DOES SHE KNOW HIM?

NO. ALL HE'S ALLOWED HER TO KNOW IS THAT HE EXISTS

AND THAT HE'S BEEN TAKING CARE OF HER FINANCIALLY.

HE'S PROTECTING HER.

EVEN IN HIS TORMENTED PSYCHE...

HE STILL LOVES HIS DAUGHTER.

HI.

HELLO. HI.

ARE YOU ANNIE?

YEAH.

ARE YOU IN ONE OF MY CLASSES?

OH, NO, I'M... I'M NOT.

UH, THIS IS GOING TO SOUND A LITTLE STRANGE

BUT, ANNIE, I JUST NEED YOU TO LISTEN TO ME CAREFULLY.

I'M HERE BECAUSE OF YOUR FATHER.

YOU'RE WHAT?

NOT YOUR FOSTER FATHER.

YOUR REAL FATHER...

THE ONE YOU'VE NEVER MET.

HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT?

BECAUSE I KNOW HIM.

ANNIE, I WANT YOU TO COME WITH ME

TO SEE HIM.

NO. I-I DON'T THINK SO.

ANNIE...

WHO ARE YOU?

I CAN'T TELL YOU THAT

BUT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TRUST ME.

LOOK, I'VE SPENT MY WHOLE LIFE LOOKING FOR HIM.

HE DIDN'T WANT TO BE FOUND.

NOW YOU'RE SAYING HE WANTS TO SEE ME?

IT'S A LITTLE MORE COMPLICATED THAN THAT.

LOOK, JUST GIVE ME YOUR NUMBER

SOMEWHERE I CAN REACH YOU

AND JUST LET ME THINK ABOUT IT.

I CAN'T DO THAT.

WELL, THEN, FORGET IT.

THIS IS TOO WEIRD.

JUST LEAVE ME ALONE.

HEY!

LET GO OF ME!

I'M NOT GOING TO HURT YOU.

PLEASE, GET IN THE VAN.

AHH...

I WAS HAVING THE MOST PLEASANT DREAM.

YOU WERE IN IT, I THINK.

YES, I THINK IT WAS YOU.

TWO LITTLE GIRLS...

ONE HAD, UM...

OH, AUBURN HAIR.

AND THE OTHER

WAS A LITTLE DARKER.

YOU WERE PLAYING AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS.

YOU BOTH WANTED THE DOLL.

THEN...

AND THEN I CAN'T REMEMBER...

WHAT HAPPENED THEN.

PERHAPS YOU CAN HELP, MADELINE?

HMM?

WE HAVE YOUR DAUGHTER.

WE HAVE ANNIE.

WELL, I'VE...

I'VE NEVER MET ANNIE.

I DOUBT...

SHE HAS THE SAME CAPACITY

TO ENDURE PAIN AS YOU.

IN FACT, SHE WILL SUFFER FROM THE START

AND IT WON'T END FOR A LONG TIME.

WHY WOULD YOU, OF ALL PEOPLE

WANT TO HARM AN INNOCENT YOUNG GIRL?

I NEVER SAID I WANTED TO.

YOU WON'T DO THIS.

YOU CANNOT DO THIS.

WAIT!

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT YOU WANT TO KNOW...

ONCE I'M CONVINCED THAT IT...

IS HER.

SHE'S ON HER WAY.

Operations: ANY EXPOSURE?

Michael: NO.

Madeline: LET ME SEE HER.

IT'S GOING TO BE FINE.

TRUST ME.

WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?

I'M SORRY FOR WHAT WE'RE PUTTING YOU THROUGH.

FORTUNATELY, IT WILL BE BRIEF

AND YOU'LL BE BACK IN NORWAY TOMORROW

WITH AN INCREDIBLE STORY YOU'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO CONFIRM.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

GET READY TO MEET

YOUR FATHER.

YOU'RE MY FATHER?

LET ME TOUCH HER.

I WOULD...

LIKE TO TOUCH...

MY DAUGHTER ONCE

AND THEN I'LL...

I'LL TELL YOU WHERE YOU... WHERE YOU CAN FIND YOUR COBALT.

LET HIM TOUCH YOUR FACE BRIEFLY.

NOW, COME CLOSER.

I JUST...

YEAH.

YOU MUST NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING THAT THESE PEOPLE TELL YOU.

YOUR MOTHER WANTED ME TO TELL YOU...

WHAT DID MY MOTHER...?

COME CLOSER.

ANNIE, NO!

HE'S OPENED THE JUGULAR.

GET HELP.

HURRY UP!

SHE'S BLEEDING TO DEATH!

MADELINE?

IS SHE DEAD?

NOT YET

BUT SHE WON'T MAKE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT.

SO WE WERE WRONG.

SHE DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING TO KESSLER.

ON THE CONTRARY, HE CARED ENOUGH TO KILL HER.

IT WAS AN ACT OF MERCY, NIKITA.

HE WAS PROTECTING HER.

PROTECTING HER?

FROM WHO?

FROM US.

HOW DO YOU KNOW

WHAT GOES ON INSIDE HIS HEAD?

I KNOW.

DOES HE KNOW WHAT'S INSIDE YOUR HEAD?

NO.

SO WHAT WAS HE TALKING ABOUT YESTERDAY?

THAT POEM ABOUT THE LITTLE GIRL ON THE STAIR?

IT SEEMED TO AFFECT YOU.

ISN'T IT ENOUGH THAT I HAVE TO ENDURE

THE RAVINGS OF THIS LUNATIC?

I'M SORRY.

I JUST THOUGHT YOU MIGHT LIKE

SOMEONE TO TALK TO, THAT'S ALL.

WE WERE FIGHTING OVER A DOLL.

I PUSHED HER.

SHE FELL DOWN THE STAIRS AND DIED.

YOUR SISTER?

YES.

BUT IT WAS AN ACCIDENT, RIGHT?

I MEAN, YOU DIDN'T MEAN TO...

I WANTED THE DOLL.

WE HAVE TWO CANDIDATES, BOTH HELD IN ABEYANCE.

BRIANNE'S AN EX-JUNKIE.

SHE WAS RECRUITED AFTER BEING CONVICTED

OF A DOUBLE HOMICIDE, DRUG-RELATED.

SHE SCORED WELL IN PHYSICAL AND TACTICAL

BUT WE BELIEVED SHE WOULD START USING AGAIN

GIVEN THE CHANCE.

CANCELLATION RECOMMENDED.

SHELLEN WAS RECALLED

AFTER INCURRING EXCESSIVE COLLATERAL

IN BUDAPEST LAST MONTH.

HE'S BEEN IN PSYCH RECONDITIONING

BUT HIS AGGRESSIVE RESPONSE HAS NOT BEEN CONTAINED.

CANCELLATION RECOMMENDED.

USE SHELLEN.

THAT'S ENOUGH.

WE HAVE A JOB FOR YOU.

HOW'S IT GOING?

I'M SORRY.

I HAVE THIS TWITCH.

I CAN'T CONTROL IT.

YOU SEE?

I HAVE IT IN BOTH HANDS.

THAT'S A PITY.

YOU SHOULD HAVE IT LOOKED AT.

IS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE FUNNY?

HUMOR IS SUBJECTIVE.

SO IS PAIN.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE SOME HARD-ASS TERRORIST.

YOU'RE PATHETIC.

DON'T GO TO SLEEP ON ME YET.

LET'S DANCE.

DO WE HAVE HIM?

Birkoff: Yes, the tracker's got him.

He's leaving by the van access door now.

GOOD.

Where to, Birkoff?

HEADING 270, 100 METERS.

MICHAEL.

Michael: NIKITA AND I GO IN FIRST.

TEAM COVER.

OKAY, KESSLER.

PUT YOUR HANDS ON YOUR HEAD.

Nikita: IT'S A TRACKER.

KESSLER'S STILL OUT THERE.

WE HAVE AN INCOMING.

Where is she?

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

Put her on

or you'll never get what you want.

I'M HERE.

When you brought

Annie to me, you knew what I would do.

There was no option.

It was already written.

Yeah, and you knew that, too.

That's why I never let her know who I was.

That is how I protected her.

She was my redemption.

And you destroyed that.

THAT'S NOT TRUE.

I DIDN'T WANT HER TO DIE.

Not until after you had tortured her.

No.

We are the same, Madeline.

You and I.

We have just different agendas.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

Well, you made me an offer once.

Now, I will make one to you.

This cobalt, it will go in the water supply

of 20,000 homes...

or I will return it to you.

WHAT'S THE CATCH?

I deliver it to you

personally.

Then I will tell you.

Madeline: WHERE?

Just stay on this channel.

You'll receive instructions.

I CAN'T ALLOW IT.

YOU'RE TOO VALUABLE.

THANK YOU.

BUT YOU KNOW I HAVE TO.

PLEASE DON'T GO.

Kessler: There's a pathway to your right.

Take it heading due north.

EVERYONE HOLD YOUR POSITIONS.

GOT HER IN MY SIGHTS.

IN POSITION.

GREEN TEAM, YOU HAVE HER?

Man: Got her.

CLOSE OFF THE PERIMETER.

Nothing goes in or out.

Team leader 2, check.

Perimeter sealed.

OKAY, LET'S MOVE IN.

GO, GO!

GO, GO!

WELL, I GUESS

THAT SHOULD KEEP THEM OCCUPIED, HUH?

FOR A LITTLE WHILE?

Operations: He's planted mines.

Where are they?

Birkoff: In an underground corridor.

IT'S PART OF THE WATER FILTRATION PLANT.

FIND ANOTHER WAY IN.

ALL RIGHT.

JUST FOR THE RECORD

I'M A MAN OF MY WORD.

HERE'S THE COBALT.

AND NOW...

NOW I'LL TAKE MY PAYMENT

HUH?

OH, I WIN.

THAT'S AN INTERESTING POINT OF VIEW.

WELL, THINK ABOUT IT.

IF YOU PULL THE TRIGGER, YOU BECOME ME.

AND IF NOT, WELL, WHO KNOWS WHAT MAY HAPPEN?

I KNOW.

TAKE HIM IN.

MADELINE...

CAN I COME IN?

SURE.

IS SOMETHING WRONG?

I'VE NEVER BEEN HERE BEFORE.

IT'S NOT WHAT I EXPECTED.

OH, YEAH? WELL, WHAT DID YOU EXPECT?

SOMETHING A LITTLE MORE SEVERE

A LITTLE DARKER.

I LIKE IT.

DO YOU WANT SOMETHING?

I'M JUST HAVING SOME TEA.

TEA WOULD BE FINE, YES.

THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL VIEW.

ISN'T IT?

SOMETIMES, I JUST STAND HERE FOR HOURS

LOOKING OUT OVER THE CITY.

HERE YOU GO.

THANK YOU.

SO... WHY ARE YOU HERE?

TO REMEMBER.

REMEMBER WHAT?

WHO I WAS.
