Previously on La Femme Nikita:

I came back for you, for us to be together.

You know a lot about me, Nikita, but not everything.

There are things that have to remain hidden.

Won't take long before she puts it together...

if she hasn't already.

She hasn't.

This is my wife, Elena.

She an operative?

No.

Is the child yours?

Yes.

Elena's father's name is Salla Vacek.

He's the heir to an eastern European mining fortune.

But he didn't go into the family business.

He's a terrorist.

- Does she know? - No.

He left when she was six. They haven't spoken since.

So the Section had you marry her to get to her father.

Yes.

So what's the plan?

What are you going to do when you get him?

Eliminate him.

For three years, you never told me you had a family, Michael.

I wanted you to know, but it's a tightly contained situation.

I understand this is something that you've been ordered to do.

Say hi to Dad.

I don't know how you're able to live with it.

Get them to Containment.

Where are we?

Sifting through what the embassy sent us. So far there's no link to anything.

What about the groups claiming responsibility?

They're all hollow. As soon as I get something...

from the two bombers we picked up, I'll know more.

Madeline's with them now.

Who hired you to bomb the embassy?

No, George, not yet.

We just cracked one of the bombers. We picked up a thread. We're profiling.

We brought them in an hour ago and we're just about ready to go out.

If someone can do it faster for you, then use them.

Of course.

- Are we ready? - No, sir. We're still prepping.

Get the team out now.

Michael.

- We've been given the embassy bombing. - We requested it.

A few parameters cropped up...

that give it a better than 50% chance that it's Vacek.

Where are things on your end?

I think I can convince Elena to try another reconciliation.

You think she's ready?

We talked about her father last night. She didn't change the subject.

Okay. Let's explore that for a moment.

What mode would you recommend?

I'd like to bring in someone else, someone she can relate to and confide in.

Perhaps a long lost family member.

- Do you have anyone in mind? - Nikita.

It's interesting. Another woman, about the same age.

Nikita can draw on her experiences, being orphaned early...

which means she wouldn't need training, just a plausible background.

That was my thinking.

It would also be a good way to neutralize the security Nikita violated...

when she located your address and wandered into your home.

Which you were going to report, I assume.

Of course.

I don't see any flaws in the plan.

Nikita's an excellent choice.

Over 20% of our resources...

are dedicated to the pursuit of one man...

Salla Vacek.

As you can tell by the date code, this photograph...

is over 20 years old.

Intelligence on Vacek is scarce, almost nonexistent.

What we do know...

is that he finances anti-Western terrorism on a global scale.

Yesterday's embassy bombing produced a lead, which we followed.

The bombers were brokered by a third-tier member of Red Cell.

This morning, we penetrated his location and downloaded his database.

One of the names we found...

is David Henderson Williams.

Williams and Vacek were students together at Cambridge.

Until this morning, there was no reason to believe...

there was any other connection.

- Do we have a five-year file on Williams? - I'm building one now.

What little I've seen on this guy makes me think...

he's been in touch with Vacek.

Let's bring in Williams.

Find out if there's a channel we can exploit.

Michael, work it out.

I'm in.

The elevator's to your left. It'll take you to the 18th floor.

Hey, who are you?

Mr. Williams wants to see these documents.

No, wrong floor.

Are you sure? It doesn't say that here.

- Second position secure. - Get his access card.

Housekeeping's right behind you.

Ray, can you make a copy of the Draper report and bring it in?

Ray, are you there?

Who are you? Where's Ray?

How did you get in?

Don't make any sudden moves. You'll be fine.

- Okay. It's fine. - What...

- It's fine. - What are you doing?

Good heavens above!

Clean it up. Everyone to their fallback point.

Daddy!

- Hi, Daddy. - Hi.

Welcome home.

How was your trip?

One of the executives couldn't be there...

so we'll have to repeat the presentation next month.

Is everything okay?

He sent me a letter.

Who?

My father.

He says he's been looking for me.

- Sir. - What?

We just got confirmation from Michael. She received the letter today.

Good.

Good afternoon, Mr. Williams.

You have a personal relationship with Salla Vacek.

That's an insane statement.

I don't know what faulty intelligence led you to me...

but nobody has access to Vacek.

Up until recently, I would have agreed with you.

When we found your name on a list of individuals...

attached to the embassy bombing my opinion changed.

Lists? They don't mean a damn thing.

I'm sure I could find your name on a list of psychopaths...

if I looked hard enough...

when it's perfectly clear you're quite ordinary.

You and Vacek were classmates at Cambridge.

Where am I? Let me guess.

Not Interpol. They don't have the resources...

to clean up the mess you made of my office.

My best guess is you're some covert agency...

that no one has ever heard of. Run amuck, no doubt.

We need to send a message to Vacek.

- You'll help us do that. - Really?

We'll speak in a few hours.

I'll be here. Some tea would be nice.

How beautiful.

Isn't it great? I've had it since I was 6 years old.

My mother and I were on vacation in Rajasthan.

This old artist spent the whole afternoon...

telling us these incredible stories to get us to buy it.

Sounds like you were very close to your mother.

I was. She died when I was 19.

What about your father?

I haven't seen or spoken to my father since I was a little girl.

- Why not? - He left us.

I didn't even think about him until after my mother died.

Then when I met Michael, he convinced me to try to find my father.

- And did you try? - We did what we could.

Elena contacted all her relatives but they hadn't heard from him either.

After Adam was born, we hired a detective.

We wanted him to know his grandfather.

- So what happened? - Nothing.

- Maybe he isn't alive. - He is.

I received a letter from him today.

Out of the blue?

I'll go put Adam to bed.

I don't know what I'd do without Michael.

He's such a good man.

So tell me about the letter.

My father says...

he wants to see me.

That there are reasons he stayed away.

That he wants us to be a family again.

Nothing wrong with that.

Where was he when I needed him? When my mother died?

When I married Michael? That's when I wanted a father.

It's not fair that he only shows up when he needs me.

It makes me angry.

Even though you're angry now...

there'll be other times when you need him.

I can't tell you what to do.

I know if it were me...

I'd take the chance.

You were right. The pain was quite unpleasant.

Worse than I'd anticipated, in fact.

I'd prefer to avoid a second session with those two.

- That's entirely up to you. - Yes.

I'd be happy to discuss...

any relevant details regarding Mr. Vacek.

How can I be of service?

We need to get Elena's letter into Vacek's hands with plausible linkage.

- Where are we with it? - It's in image processing.

They're rewording it to make it appear that she initiated the contact.

We'll be able to get the letter to Mischa Berenz, Vacek's confidante...

but what we have to sell is the idea that his daughter, an ordinary citizen...

was able to find Berenz and make the connection.

I'm back-filling a plausible scenario. She already tried a detective...

so we'll use him as a base. From there, I just have to piece it together.

Good. Do it.

Didn't take long to produce a letter.

- Nikita was helpful. - Good. I'm glad.

Mischa, how was your flight?

We hit a storm over the Gulf but other than that, it was fine.

- How are the boys? - They're well.

Let him in.

- Nice to see you. - And you.

- So, what do you have for me today? - The usual.

Phillipe believes you're safe here for at least another four days.

Where does he suggest we go next?

He's preparing a place for you off the Cape.

I hate the weather there.

- What's this? - I don't know.

I received it through Myume in Hong Kong. It cleared, but he didn't elaborate.

Where did Myume get this from?

From someone in his organization, I assume. I didn't ask.

- Is something the matter? - Yes.

This letter is from someone who claims to be my daughter.

I thought you kept your identity from her.

I have.

She doesn't know who I am or how to find me.

- What does the letter say? - She wants me to meet her family.

I want this correspondence validated.

Account for everyone who laid a finger on it.

I want to know where the paper came from.

I want to know who licked the stamp.

And if it checks out?

One step at a time. How are we with White Eagle?

Most of the material has already cleared customs.

Personnel is just waiting for you to give the order.

Soon.

Yes?

Elena called me this morning.

What did she say?

She wants me to come over in a couple of days.

- Doesn't conflict with anything, does it? - No.

She mention it to you?

She likes you.

I think she finds you easy to talk to.

You know, I was thinking about Simone last night.

You were still married to her when this started, weren't you?

Yes.

Simone knew about Elena.

Was it difficult for her?

I don't know. We never talked about it.

I wish you could have told me about...

this.

I wish I could have.

It's hard on both of us with him away on business so much.

I didn't think about how much he'd be gone.

Adam seems to handle it well.

He does, but he misses Michael when he's away.

It's so pretty.

Anyway, how's everything with you?

A few fashion houses are looking at my portfolio.

We'll see. No calls yet.

- And the hotel? - Good.

Nikita, I was wondering if...

maybe you'd like to come and stay here with us?

I couldn't do that.

It's much safer than where you're staying downtown.

Really, I'm fine. Thank you.

It's not only for you.

You're an important part of Michael's life.

- Did he say that? - No, but I know him.

I can tell.

Where are we?

Vacek has already begun tracing the letter.

- How's it going? - So far, everything's covered.

- That's not the problem. - What's the problem?

He put people on Elena, he's watching her.

We expected that.

Elena has invited Nikita to move in with her and Michael.

Vacek is going to look at anything out of the ordinary as suspicious.

- He'll tie it to the letter. - I'll deepen her history.

I'm sure we can shore this up.

- We've got control. - Good. Vacek's man's on his way in.

I'd like to know the origin of this letter, please.

I'm sorry. We can't give that to you. It's against policy.

What about Lisbon?

We gave his tracker the name of the detective...

Elena hired two years ago. From this point on, the trail's locked.

- Walter. - Hi, sugar.

I'm moving in with Michael and Elena.

Yeah, I heard.

Here's your scrambler.

How long have you known?

I helped set up the cover. I'm sorry, I couldn't tell you. I wanted to.

I suppose it explains a few things though.

It makes it better.

The truth always does.

Walter, his son...

His son loves him so much.

Michael feels it, too.

I can tell.

It's heartbreaking.

Yeah.

What's wrong? What's wrong, child? Come on.

Did you have a bad dream?

Okay.

Want to go to bed with Daddy and Mommy?

- Let's go. - I think that's a good idea.

Good night.

It's all right.

- Good night, Nikita. - Good night.

Slow down!

I won!

All right, you win.

- Good morning. - Hi.

Morning.

Orange juice, everybody?

- Yeah. - Yes, please.

Voil�.

- Thank you. - Thanks.

Nikita's got her first meeting with a potential client this afternoon.

I'm not surprised. Her designs are very impressive.

Excuse me.

Hello? Speaking.

When?

Why can't you tell me now?

Yes, but...

Who was that?

A man who says he represents my father.

What did he want?

He said my father wants to see me.

They're calling back tonight with details.

Hello, Mischa. Did you speak to the council?

They're divided.

Some think it's a mistake to wait. The summit's getting a lot of attention.

Their security is spread thin.

That's true, but if we do it now...

we'll make it easy for the heads of state to ally.

They're waiting for your orders.

We'll attack on the 23rd. Make the final preparations.

Notify our soldiers.

Mischa...

- did you speak to my daughter? - Yes.

Make the arrangements.

Hello.

- May I speak with Elena? - One moment, please.

Thanks.

Hello.

- Is this Elena? - Yes.

We spoke earlier. Are you interested in meeting your father?

Yes, of course I am. Why is this so secretive?

Please follow my directions very carefully.

If you deviate in any way the meeting will have to be canceled.

We will meet tomorrow evening, 6:30.

There is a park just north of the river at Kuerten.

It is well marked on the municipal map.

At the entrance gate, the attendant will hand you directions...

to a location within the park.

This doesn't feel right.

I don't understand why he has to be so mysterious.

Elena.

- Who is this? - Your father.

I'm sorry, but it has to be this way.

I look forward to seeing you.

They're off.

Filter it. The location will be scrambled. Maybe we can piggyback the server.

Do a pattern match on the voice. Let's confirm it was Vacek.

If it was, it's our first hard contact in over 14 years.

Here's the river.

Here's the park.

We don't know what road he'll take, but there are six roads that lead in.

The meeting is set for 6:30.

Which means a few minutes before that, he will be in this 3-kilometer zone.

I want all of our personnel distributed evenly throughout that area.

If we pick him up before he gets to the park...

there's less risk of it getting bloody.

But if not, seal off the park, do whatever it takes.

Let me make this clear:

There is no higher priority than taking out Vacek.

Any amount of collateral is acceptable if we hit the target.

- Where's Elena? - Getting ready.

How's she doing?

She's nervous.

What if her father shows? What's going to happen, Michael?

Then the mission ends.

What about Elena and Adam?

They'll be safe.

And you?

I won't see them again.

Thanks for staying with Adam.

No problem.

- I hope this is the right thing. - It is.

- Bye, sweetheart. - Bye, Mommy.

You have the cell phone number. Call if you need anything.

- Don't worry, we'll be fine. Good luck. - Thanks.

Come on, Michael.

Say goodbye to Daddy.

Be nice.

Say goodbye.

- Bye, Daddy. - Bye, my love. Be good.

It's 6:26. Everyone advance and tighten.

Let's sit.

I'm okay.

Look, he looks like Watson.

I wouldn't have met you if it weren't for him.

He was a good dog.

I miss him. I miss those days.

We should go back, with Adam.

- He'd love Bordeaux. - He's too young.

I don't think so.

We'll take the train.

Remember how much he loved it when we took him to London?

We'll see.

You're more on edge than I am.

Just being careful.

- I want this to be good for you. - It's odd, but...

I don't feel what I thought I would.

What do you mean?

It doesn't seem so important all of a sudden.

It's made me realize that the people that I love...

are the ones that are already in my life...

and that's not going to change.

Okay, we have a vehicle. Team Four.

- Yeah. We got him. - Do you have an ID?

They're still in the car, but I can't confirm yet.

You have about 30 seconds before it goes public.

It could be him, but I still can't confirm.

Sir?

Hold. We're going to play it out.

Is it you?

Your father was unable to come.

He wanted Adam to have this.

Who are you?

- Someone your father trusts. - Trusts?

I still don't understand.

You must be Michael.

You've taken very good care of Elena.

Her father wishes you to know he is grateful.

Where is he?

He thought this was the right time to be reacquainted with you...

but there were complications.

What kind of complications?

What is so difficult about meeting your daughter?

- Elena. - No. I have to say this.

Tell my father his daughter is here and wants to see him.

I'm truly sorry.

Let's go.

- We can tag his car, sir. Do we pursue? - No.

Maintain conservative profile. Let him go.

- He never showed. - Yes, I've heard.

- Have you gotten the news about Madrid? - No, what?

The Plaza. Thirty-seven killed, over 200 injured.

Vacek?

Yes, same group as the embassy. His money financed it.

Leave that here. It's not important.

Mischa. You met her?

Yes, here's the cassette.

- This won't tell me what I need to know. - She's a good woman. A strong woman.

- You'd be proud of her. - Then you're telling me she was angry?

- Disappointed. - And her husband?

He was interesting. There was something in his eyes.

What?

Power.

- Good. Then he'll protect her. - Yes, I think so.

Come. We have to hurry.

Have you worked up a new profile on Vacek?

Yes, you were right not to tag the courier.

Yesterday was a dry run any way you look at it.

What do you recommend?

Vacek wants to see his daughter, but he feels no urgency.

- Then we'll have to change that. - Yes.

Michael will resist.

It won't matter.

How did it go?

He didn't show.

I'm going to check on Adam.

What happened?

He sent someone else.

Did we pick him up?

No.

That means they'll keep you here longer.

That's good.

Good?

For Adam.
