The charge is set.
Pull out.

Michael!

Congratulations on a
successful mission.

The chemical weapons plant was
completely destroyed.

What about Michael?

Overnight analysis suggests
one chance in three that he's alive.

And even if he is, one chance
in ten of bringing him out.

- He'll be missed.
- That's it?

- Yes, that's it.
- He'll be missed.

I don't care about the odds.
I'll go back for him.

- I'm sure the others will, too.
- I wish I could send you.

What's the crap about overnight
analysis and ten to one odds?

I... did a feasibility study,
isolated key factors, ran a sim-

This is Michael we're talking about.
Couldn't you have fudged the sim?

- Maybe rigged the odds just a little?
- I did.

Objectively, it's one hundred to one
against bringing him out.

Maybe one hundred and fifty.
Sorry Nikita. Michael's on his own.

Start the car.

Your place.
No tricks.

You're hurt.
You need doctor.

A nurse is close enough.

The police are not always
kind to foreigners.

- Perhaps if you turn yourself in they won't-
- Shut up and drive.

They tell me the weapons factory
was completely destroyed.

This will be a tough one
to explain to the council.

- That is my problem, Frankel.
- Yes. It is.

There's still no sign of the man
they left behind?

- Not yet.
- I understood he was badly hurt.

Yes, but look at the map.

The terrain near the factory
is full of ridges and gullies.

And excuses. I assume absolute
secrecy has been maintained.

- Of course.
- No leaks?

- None.
- Then create one.

Make sure the west knows one of their
agents is loose and being hunted down.

- Have you ever heard of Rambo?
- In the movies.

Don't laugh, Frankel.

If you understand Rambo, you understand
the west. They believe in heroes.

You're trying to provoke
a rescue attempt?

And then we will have the agent
and the rescue team, both.

- Very clever.
- We may've lost the cold war,

but we can still score a point,
now and then, if we use our heads.

This is assuming we find
the agent first.

Yes, which is why I'm taking
charge of the search, personally.

- Unless you object.
- Not at all.

It will be a pleasure
to learn from the best.

Yes, it will.

If you do as I say I won't hurt you.
If you don't I'll kill you.

Understand?

Sit down.

Sit down!

I learn what I can about Petrosian's movements
but as you know it's never easy, is it?

You wanted to see me?

I decided to accept your offer
to bring Michael out.

Why?

We received information
he's still alive and eluded capture.

Given the amount of time that's passed,
that changes the odds.

But the odds still aren't good,
are they?

No.

- So what changed your mind?
- I want Michael back too, Nikita.

- I am human.
- Of course you are.

You'll be teamed with Madeline
and fly out tonight.

In the meantime she'll brief you
on the details of the mission.

That'll be all.

You... are not ordinary criminal.

Who are you?

- Why you are here?!
- Be quiet.

- Your wounds need treatment.
- Later.

Untie me. I can help.

- Cosmetics?
- That's right.

Lipsticks, gloss, shadow, lotions;
the entire line.

This describes their properties in detail.
Know it by the time the plane lands.

They may be expecting a rescue attempt
but not by two women selling makeup.

Who's Petrosian?

Egran Petrosian. He's head
of their secret police.

He's a very brilliant man...
and a very dangerous man.

- Do we have any idea where Michael is?
- He's badly hurt.

There's a hospital not too far
from the chemical plant.

Our best guess is that he's either in it
or not too far from it.

What are you doing?

The wounds need to be cauterized.

You do exactly what I tell you.

Sit down.

Take the pliers.

Hold it tight as you can.

Tighter.

There was fighting last night
at chemical plant north of here.

We treated some wounded soldiers.
They say the plant makes chemical weapons.

Our government denies it,
so it must be true.

Empty the shell on the paper.

Now.

You are French?
American?

Get me police.

Don't. Please.

It was mistake.
Sorry.

Let me take a look at your back.

You won't tell me who you are,
what you are doing.

You can at least tell me your name.

My name is Angie.

- Angie Georgiev.
- You can call me Michael.

- What is this place?
- The import bureau.

We need a permit to sell cosmetics.

Observing the formalities only strengthens
our cover. Afterwards, we'll-

Madeline?

Help, please, quickly!
An ambulance, please!

She's having a heart attack!

Get an ambulance!

Investigate every patient admitted
since the attack on the factory including

those who have been released. Pay
special attention to the emergency room.

Yes, sir, but I think we should
concentrate our efforts on the wilds

above the factory. That is where
he was last seen.

When a man is badly hurt, he needs
medical care, whether he wants it or not.

As you wish, Colonel.

Coming through.

- Thank you.
- It is plain, but nourishing.

I didn't mean for the soup.

You must think I am fool
for helping you.

I think you're very brave.

Our government pretends to move to
democracy, because it wants aid from west,

but old habits die hard. And the nail
that stands up still gets hammered.

Old expression of ours.

My father was nail who stood up-
for freedom, for justice, for dignity.

And he was hammered.

If you are what I think you are,
it is for his sake I help.

- If that makes me fool, so be it.
- Are you willing to help again?

I need, uh, a laptop computer
and a phone.

- I have a phone.
- I need a cellular.

You think you could find that
at the hospital?

Ah... It's very dangerous!

- It's not fair.
- I know it isn't.

Don't worry.
She's doing very well.

- How do you feel?
- What did you find out?

There is a terminal on this floor
with only one nurse,

but the soldiers are going
from room to room.

- I'll deal with it.
- You should rest.

We have to search the
records quickly.

This was a set-up, wasn't it? You took
a pill or something to induce the symptoms.

You could've warned me.

Your reaction had to be
convincing, Nikita.

You actually induced a
heart attack, Madeline?

The doctors needed to be
convinced, too.

We're in. Now let's make
the most of it.

Oh, excuse me,
I lost my contact.

I just rubbed my eye and it just
sort of popped out.

My contact, I mean. No, no, no, that's fine.
Actually I've got another in my handbag.

I don't want to bother you.
Thank you very much. Sorry.

Oh, excuse me.

It's Michael. He's uplinked through
a DOD satellite. He's all right.

He's just a few miles from the hospital.
Michael will stay put.

- All we have to do is contact Madeline.
- Begin the sequence.

Your papers seem in order.

- You sell cosmetics?
- Yes that's right.

A poor country like ours cannot be
a very profitable market.

In a few years you won't be poor and
we'll be in all your stores.

My sample case.

Alive 2000.

It attacks cellulite.
It smooths and retextures the skin.

Does this junk actually
do any good?

Well, I use them.
Judge for yourself.

Western decadence.
Obsession with appearance.

Why don't you take some
for your wife?

I never accept gifts
while on duty.

These are samples.
It's my job to give them away.

No, thank you.

But, I wish you
a speedy recovery.

Thank you.

You know, Olga's skin does get-

I'm afraid you won't be taking
calls for quite a while.

Frankel. This is Petrosian. Come in.
Come in, Frankel. Where are you, Frankel?

When I was searching the file
I noticed a nurse named Angie Georgiev.

She left at lunch yesterday
and hasn't been back since.

- So?
- So I checked the personnel records.

She hasn't been absent
for the last three years.

It's much safer if Michael kidnapped
a nurse, isn't it?, than entering a hospital.

- You have her address?
- Yes.

It's gonna be all right.
My people are already in the city.

I'll be gone soon.

You can't be disappointed.

This hasn't exactly been
convenient for you.

Sometimes, a little inconvenience
is not such a bad thing.

I am in forties. I have no family,
no husband, no child...

Not much chance of either. I have a job,
but, uh, a job is not a life.

That's not self pity.
It's plain speaking.

Since you... you have been here...
I have been, uh, confused,

worried, scared out of my,
uh, wits.

But I have lived more in the past
twenty-four hours

than I have in seven years
since my father die.

It is not just for his sake I help,
but, uh, for mine.

I- I- I am glad you will be safe.

Very glad, and, pathetic as it sounds,
I think when you go,

life will go with you.

Well, Frankel, now you have something
to explain to the council.

But Dr. Roche and Dr. Gant examined her
thoroughly.

- The heart attack was real.
- I'm sure it was.

They are serious people we're dealing with.
I want this hospital turned upside down.

Report even the slightest hint
of anything wrong to me.

Missing supplies,
absentee workers, anything.

- You understand?
- Yes, colonel.

- What is it?
- Nothing, Colonel, just...

Well, a nurse, Georgiev,
disappeared yesterday.

- Disappeared?
- Well, did not return from lunch.

She has not called in.
She has not been answering her phone.

She's very responsible.
It's not like her.

You have to tell me about
yourself someday, Madeline.

Someday. Get in.

- You alright?
- Just a little tired. Go.

Don't worry. They have to be careful.
They'll come when it's right.

- Are you hungry?
- No. Go ahead and eat.

The authorities may trace me here,
eventually. After I'm gone, I mean.

I will deal with it.

- You don't have to.
- What choice do I have?

Come with me.

You said it yourself there's little
reason to stay. Not to mention the risk.

- What would I do?
- Be a nurse.

I'll see that you're set up.
I'll help you.

- You will?
- Of course.

I don't know.

Well think quickly.
There's not much time.

Open up! Police!

- What do we do?
- Wait.

Open the door!

Police, open the door now!

- We don't like to be kept waiting.
- I'm sorry. I was in the bathroom.

You left work at lunch yesterday
and you did not return. Why?

- I was ill.
- Why didn't you call in?

I had fever. I was delirious.
I was feeling better this morning.

- You live alone?
- Yes.

- Had any visitors recently?
- No. As I said, I have been ill.

Search the apartment.

- Nothing.
- You got a cigarette?

- We're too late.
- Pull into the alley.

- Pretty good.
- Ja.

You said you were alone.

I had two cups of tea.
Must I drink from the same cup?

A man has been here.
Where is he?

Anybody moves, he dies.

- Shoot!
- Don't shoot!

Get the computer.

Shoot! Damn it, shoot!

- Don't risk it.
- Shoot, damn it!

Shoot!

Stop!

Stop!

Send for another vehicle,

and an uplink scanner so we can
monitor their communications.

They won't get far.

We've met, haven't we?

At hospital.
I was scared half to death.

- So was I.
- You really didn't look it.

- Is there a problem?
- No. I'll have it in a second.

- How are you feeling?
- I'll be fine.

- I was worried.
- I'm glad you came back.

It's working.

They're close to checkpoint two
from the original mission.

Good. Tell them to stay put
and set up a meet.

A signal.

- We have a fix.
- Let's move!

- How much longer?
- Four minutes.

They're gonna get to us before the
chopper does. We'll need a diversion.

- I'll draw them away.
- It's suicide.

- It's the only chance we've got.
- No. We stay here.

Michael, establish
an alternative site.

The chopper may be
on radio blackout.

A new site's not going to help us.
We can't outrun them.

- I'll go out there and slow them down.
- No.

The chopper's still
three minutes away.

Then we'll have to fight.

Angie?

Give me your gun!

Michael! It's okay.

- What's going on, Michael?
- I don't know.

- It's good to see you again.
- And you!

Allow me to introduce
Colonel Egram Petrosian,

Chief of Secret Police,
member of the National Council

and for the last seventeen years,
deep cover operative of Section One.

It's good to be
on the winning side again.

Petrosian was an invaluable
source of information.

In fact, he helped plan the raid
on the chemical plant.

But there were people that were becoming
suspicious. It was time to bring him out.

So it was never about Michael at all?
It was about Petrosian.

Rescuing Michael gave us a way
to extract Petrosian

without letting the enemy know
that he'd been one of us.

But if it had to come down to a choice,
say between him and Michael?

Leave it alone, Nikita.

- Care to join us for lunch?
- I'd love to.

By the way, congratulations
on your brilliant escape.

It wasn't brilliant.
You weren't really trying to catch us.

Oh, but I was. I had little alternative
under the watchful eye of Major Frankel.

Your performance was quite extraordinary
and I thank you for it.

I should thank you, too.

Your incompetence allowed
the rescue mission to take place.

- Incompetence?
- Yes.

Or was it part of the plan
to get yourself shot?

Michael, just leave it alone.

- I am sorry she died.
- So am I.

But I'm glad she lived.
