You were out last night. I called to ask if you wanted to get a cup of coffee.
Why?
I like coffee.
First you compliment me on my new sunglasses, and now you're asking me out for coffee?
I've been thinking about you lately.
And what have you been thinking?
That we might spend more time together outside the Section.
I didn't think there was anything outside Section.
There is.
Somehow I don't think it's the mission you're having trouble figuring out.
How did he get here? What's his life like outside? Does he even have one?
Would knowing the answers make you perform your mission more efficiently?
It might.
Is it his life you want to know about, or his heart?
Does he even have a heart?
Michael loved once, very deeply.
Simone.
Some men can only love once. Whether Michael's like that or not, I don't really know.
Gee, Madeline, I thought you knew everything.
I know what I need to know, Nikita. If you can say the same, you'll be all right. Get some rest.
Good night, Madeline.
Michael?
We're on standby, so I thought that we could go over that plan again.
I know the plan. I'm sure you do, too.
May I come in?
Of course.
Then we could have that cup of coffee... or the drink.
All right.
No need to leave the apartment. Whatever you have will be fine.
What if I'm out of everything?
That will be fine, too.
Are you trying to seduce me? I've never been able to figure you out. Why should today... be different?
It's very simple... after Simone, I thought if I ever cared for anyone again... it would have to be someone from outside the Section, but I was wrong. No one from the outside can understand who we are. We fight all the time just to stay alive. Let's not fight what's between us. Let's take what we can get.
You mean there's a backup system?
He won't get far. And anyone who went with him, wouldn't have either.
You knew about his plan all the time, didn't you? This was all one big manipulation to keep me from going with him, wasn't it?
To keep you alive.
But why? Why bother?
(He says nothing)
Welcome back, Michael.
Your cameras. I'm not having them in my apartment any more.
You're not?
No. And if you don't like it, you can-
We can what?
Cancel me, because I'd rather be dead than watched like an animal in the zoo.
Are you sure about that?
I'm very sure.
