I won't lie to you, I'm not happy to be here. But it's not about getting out anymore.
S2 E4Approaching Zero
This is never an easy job, sometimes unbearable for all of us. I respect Jurgen for who he is and what he tried to do. But there are certain things that are absolute. Jurgen could not be allowed to hold Section hostage.
How could you do this Michael?
I just told you.
Not to him, to me.
It was never my intention to hurt you.
So that makes it ok? How far back does it go? My training with Jurgen? Or when you brought me in? The night we had together?
Everybody's been contacted. Walter needs you in inventory.
In a minute.
Well, that's the first time you had the section wait for me.
When you were in his house, I was listening. I had to keep my feelings separate. That's how I live my life, Nikita. Split in two. I never let anyone see the other half, but it's there, always part of me.
Well, that's just too little, too late. I am going to help Jurgen through this, if he lets me. Oh, I've become part of his life.
Nikita, some of the things I said about Jurgen are not true. I tell you this just in case you have any doubt as to what kind of man he was. I'm sure you don't. Jurgen trained me when I first came to the section. I'll miss him.
S2 E5New Regime
I already have. I've decided he's going to recover. His will to live is very strong. Your will to save him has to be strong, too. I'll help you. Go back inside. Tell your colleagues to do the possible...then the impossible...and then the unthinkable, until he's out of danger. Because when you're finished, Doctor, that room will contain either four living men... or four corpses. Do you understand?
Has Petrosian offered you my position yet?
Yes.
And what did you say?
If I say no, he's going to offer it to somebody else.
That's not the point.
What is the point?
The point is you don't have what it takes to do my job. And, if you try, you'll only end by destroying yourself.
Am I under orders to please you?
Of course….. not. He can make it easier for us. We could have the chance to spend more time together outside Section.
I wouldn't put too much trust in him.
Okay, well, if I'm dealing with the devil, it's because sometimes the devil is the only one open for business. But that's not the problem, is it? Michael, it bothers you that I have so much more power now. You don't like it. Maybe it even makes you a little...uncomfortable.
No.
Shall we just have a drink? No more games, no promises, just a drink.
Birkoff. I need a favor.
Personal favors are against regulations. Walter said we're all living by the book now, even Petrosian's little pet.
Wrong, Birkoff. Petrosian's little pet gets what she wants, or what they did to Walter will look like a foot massage compared with what I do to you if you mess with me.
I think it's pretty clear. Operations is a better choice than Petrosian.
Better for whom?
If you had doubts, why did you side with us?
Petrosian was willing to give me a life, as much as one can have inside Section. But in order to get it, I lied, I bullied, and, who knows, eventually I might have even… killed in cold blood. In other words, I found out what it's like to...to be you.
And you didn't like it.
No, I didn't.
Power is addictive, Nikita. You've had a taste. It's in your blood now.
You're wrong.
You'll be back. It's only a matter of time. But there'll be one difference. The next time… I'll be waiting for you.
PPetrosian
You can't have sympathy with another persons weakness. You must use the weakness to control the person.
Of course.
PPetrosian
Everyone has a weakness, whether it is status, love of praise, a lover, a mother. Or simply the desire to go on living. You find a weakness, you control the person. Do you understand?
I think I am beginning too...
PPetrosian
Good.
S2 E6Mandatory Refusal
Nikita.
Hello, Michael.
We haven't talked in awhile.
What's up?
We should go out, have dinner.
I would love to know how your mind works. Are you really that arrogant to think that you can turn me on and off at will?
Of course not. I am just being careful.
Careful?
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 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.
