Where can I feel safe, Michael, when I can't even trust you?
“Up The Rabbit Hole” · Season 4, Episode 21
In this episode: Nikita (7), Michael Samuelle (6), Quinn (4), Madeline (3), Operations (3), Walter (2), Jason Crawford (2)
Tight-lipped bunch, aren't ya?
You have an unusual opportunity, Mr. Crawford, your fate at Section is in your hands. You feel you're ready for this?
I'll do what I have to do, Madeline, and you'll make sure nothing happens to Naomi. My brother Jason will expect you to keep up your end of the deal.
You spent six years training and getting to know Nikita, we're not going to retrieve her on intel alone, we need a more personal profile.
Hey, Michael. You pick up on the weird buzz around here? Seems "sugar-free" leaves a bitter taste on the back of the tongue.
QNQuinn/Nikita
... but have you stopped to think that maybe you don't want us to find Nikita?
For what reason?
QNQuinn/Nikita
Because you're in love with her.
I never loved Nikita.
QNQuinn/Nikita
I thought that was common knowledge.
Yes, it's what we wanted them to believe.
QNQuinn/Nikita
We?
Operations, Madeline. Me.
QNQuinn/Nikita
I've been through the databases a hundred times over, Michael. The time you spent with Nikita...
I was assigned to train her, motivate her adjustment.
QNQuinn/Nikita
Give her something to hang onto, to believe in.
Yes.
QNQuinn/Nikita
And your feelings for her? I have to give you credit, Michael, I'm beginning to understand why they value you so much around here. I'll have to figure this in. I'll let you know when I have a new profile.
Nikita was taught if exposed, to hide in plain sight.
Don't move.
QNQuinn/Nikita
Michael...
Hide in plain sight. Section is the last place we'd think to look.
QNQuinn/Nikita
Michael, I'll report this. You'll have to account for your behavior!
And you will have to account for your reaction when I told you I had no feelings for Nikita.
QNQuinn/Nikita
Like I said, Nikita is very emotional. Seems to be what trips her up most of the time.
Why?
QNQuinn/Nikita
I couldn't leave without you, Michael. I came back to convince you to come with me. You've seen me do it. I can show you how.
No one really leaves Section.
QNQuinn/Nikita
I agree. This place will always be in my head. But we can help each other forget.
Sooner or later they would have found you.
QNQuinn/Nikita
Not without the implant. Not after sinking my files. Not if I didn't want them to.
QNQuinn/Nikita
I didn't have a choice. Red Cell offered us a way out. We'd be free!
In a few weeks, most likely, I'll be moving to Oversight which means you will be given the Perch, Section One will be yours. You don't seem pleased?
I am.
I want Michael and Quinn apprehended and brought back to Section immediately.
It's amazing, isn't it? Kraft was a genius at long-term prosthetics. We can use the techniques to disappear if we have to.
I don't want you to change again.
Michael ...
You're slipping, Madeline.
If that's what you want to believe.
I have two liberated operatives. An entire Alpha Team wiped out. And a Chief Strategist without answers. What should I believe?
I just need more time.
You have 24 hours. If Michael and Nikita are not returned by then, you will be removed from your post.
Hey, Walter. What's up?
My faith in humanity.
What are you talking about?
Nikita and Michael. They flew the coop.
Impossible.
Yeah, that's what everybody around here thought. But they did it. They are history.
Mom and Dad must be freaking out.
That's the best part. Wish you could see it. Madeline's having a meltdown. Operations is wearing out the floor of his office, pacing back and forth.
Yeah, yeah, I wish I could see that.
Michael, it's over. You can relax now. They're never going to find us.
