You know what. It's gone too far Nikita. They won't let this pass. If there was ever a time you had to trust me... it's now.
“End Game” · Season 2, Episode 22
In this episode: Nikita (7), Michael Samuelle (5), Madeline (3), Operations (3), Adrian (2)
Ok, Michael, now you lost me.
You're in over your head.
Take your hands off me, please.
Now listen to me. If Adrian succeeds, every operative will be canceled. No exceptions. They will roll up Section like it never existed. And if you think Adrian can protect you, you're wrong. Where's Adrian?
I don't know.
Where's the file?
I don't know.
You're lying.
I don't know.
Why... why? This is your last chance. Our last chance. Where's Adrian?
I don't know.
Then you leave me no choice.
Go.
What?
Outside you have a very small chance. Back at Section you have none. Go now.
What's the point, I'm not going to run.
My only regret is that I brought down with me a very brave young woman. I'm sorry Nikita, more sorry than I can say.
Excellent work, Nikita.
That's why we selected her, because of her ambivalence. She didn't deceive you so much as she allowed you to deceive yourself.
It's over when I say it's over.
I don't have to justify anything to you.
Today you do. Section's on trial. Defend it.
Operations. Is that what it's about? Controlling the world?
We will control whatever we have to, to prevent the dark ages from descending again on the human race.
Choose carefully, Nikita. There will never be a moment like this again in your lifetime.
Michael, any words of wisdom?
What have you seen with your own eyes?
Yes. Are the crimes we've committed worse than the crimes we've prevented? And the people we've brought down, is the world a better place without them?
Yes it is.
Then you have your answer.
I didn't enjoy deceiving you, Michael, but Adrian was listening, it had to be real.
You have at least six hours before they make a decision. You're level two, they'll have to clear with oversight.
I told you before, I'm not going to run.
They'll cancel you.
Probably.
I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid.
...I'd rather deal with one recalcitrant operative than a mutiny. [...] Increase her mission frequency. Eventually, the problem will take care of itself.
