Michael and Nikita in “Face In The Mirror”

Yes. If you're in trouble, Nikita...

The only trouble I seem to be having at the moment is that you're too far away from me, to defying the odds. So you read my med report?

Yes.

And there's something you didn't like?

You shot yourself, Nikita.

Yes, I did.

Why?

It seemed like a very bad idea to assassinate the one man who could get me out of Section forever. I'm sorry, Michael, but I had my chance and I had to take it.
