Two days ago you asked me out for dinner, Michael. Obviously you've changed your mind.
If it were anyone else that came after me, I would have killed them. I cannot allow you to become my weakness.
Of course not.
S2 E6Mandatory Refusal
S2 E7Half Life
Yes, I knew him.
Now you're protecting him.
Up to a certain point.
Why would you protect him at all? After all the lectures to me about sacrificing feelings ... for the greater good, hm?
I'll take care of it, Nikita.
There's something you're not telling me.
Just stay out of it.
I asked you to stay out of it.
Yes, you did. You should try talking to me the next time, Michael. Maybe you'll get better results.
Why are you in his debt?
My sister.
Your sister?
After my parents died, I ... took care of her. ... She was still very young. When I was arrested there was no one to help her. René took her in. Even after he thought I was dead he kept providing for her.
He had no reasons to do it, except out of kindness.
Didn't you tell me once that you can't separate the man from his actions? He's still a terrorist.
To me, his actions are that of a friend.
Michael, disengage. Let the Section sort this out.
It's too late. A profile's been set. I'm not sure I can do it.
Why are you telling me this?
I wanted you to know in case something happens to me.
RRené
How could you?! Huh?
I'm sorry.
RRené
You have no soul ..., no honor! Defend yourself! I said, defend yourself! You once said that a person can define themselves by what they are willing to die for. I will die for a belief. You will die because you have none!
(She shoots and kills René).
You should have let him do it.
S2 E10First Mission
Can I give you a piece of advice?
Go ahead.
It's best to be ruthless, but if you are not, it's essential to appear that way.
Is that your secret, Michael? You just appear to be ruthless?
You still don't understand what you are dealing here, do you? You think you are a lonely beacon of decency in an insane world or something like that. Isn't that true? The section isn't me or Madeline or Michael. It's bigger, deeper, smarter than any of us.
You make it sound like it's alive.
Oh, yes, and we all walk a narrow path to keep it that way.
Path without feeling, compassion, or hope.
Yes.
We die so the section can live.
Yes.
I can't accept that.
You have no choice, Nikita. No one does, especially me. Do you understand?
I understand that you are talking to me for once.
With most operatives, self preservation takes over, compassion is the first thing to go.
She's different.
Have you tried, Michael, really tried to crush out her feelings?
Of course.
You succeeded with so many others, why not her?
She's strong.
Is that the only reason?
Yes.
But we can't be allowed to love our friends... or hate our enemies.
S2 E11Psychic Pilgrim
Have I ever told you how beautiful you are?
Not today.
Well, you are beautiful.
Oh, no, you don't. That's how you hurt your back in the first place.
I should report you for that kind of cruelty.
I know, I know, I know . . . Michael?
Yes?
I love you.
I love you, too.
Was it difficult for you?
The debrief?
No, the mission.
At the time, no.
And now?
Well, that all depends on you... how do you feel about it?
Conflicted.
Well, maybe I can help... we can talk about it.
I'd love to... but what you need to hear, I can't tell you yet.
Yet?
You know a lot about me, Nikita, but not everything. There are things that have to remain hidden. It has nothing to do with how I feel about you.
S2 E13Not Was
I may not know who I was, but I know who I am, I can feel it. I will never be treated like a caged animal.
No, I can't. I have to get out of here.
You will never make it. They will find you!
How do you know?
Take a look around.
You told me they are going to kill me anyway. I got nothing to lose.
I do.
Have I ever told you that I love you?
Actually, no.
I do.
S2 E17Inside Out
Oh, my God.
I'm all right. I can still function.
I'm sending someone from Medical right away.
No, you can't. It's too risky. We need those people.
I need you.
No, you need everyone working at full efficiency. I can do what I have to for at least the next six hours.
Madeline, you ....
