[voiceover] My name is Nikita. Six years ago I was taken out of prison and forced by a covert unit of the government to be an assassin. Three years ago I escaped and have been hunted ever since. I was the first recruit to get out. I'm going to make certain I'm not the last.

S1 E15Unfinished Business
Your life is over, Alex. I'm here to offer you a new one. But you have to be willing to earn it.
What do I gotta do?
Learn...how not to sound like a teen meth-whore for starters. Learn to stand up straight. Learn how to walk right. Learn how to talk right. Learn how to serve your country, instead of just yourself.
They told me I killed a cop. I don't remember...I've tried to. I'd just turned eighteen, so they were able to charge me with murder one. I was sentenced to die by lethal injection.
No frickin' way.
Trust me, you'll want to save your 'no frickin' way' for the next part...where my execution was faked by a secret unit of the government called Division. They told me they were giving me a second chance. They told me they I'd be serving my country. What they didn't tell me is they were training me to be an assassin.
Everything to make me the best killer I could be... till I broke one of their rules.
What rule?
I fell in love. With a civilian. His name was Daniel. After 3 months together, all I wanted to do was be with him. Live a normal life but Division couldn't have that, so they killed him and made it look like an accident.
Promise me something.
Right now, anything.
Promise me it's not a dream... I'm going to wake up from tomorrow.
She had a good run. Won't be another one like her.
Don't be so sure.
[to Alex] What does the butterfly on your back mean if not transformation?
Sometimes vulnerability can be our greatest weapon.
Niki, you're insane.
Don't call me Niki.
Then don't call me nerd. Remember you used to call me that? "Patch me through to Michael, nerd. This computer's busted, fix it, nerd. Place ain't the same without you."
[about Nikita] Did she say who she was working for?
No. Honestly, I think it's a bluff. I think she's on her own. I mean, you should have seen her, she was a wreck. I was able to turn the tables on her easy.
Yeah, was that before or after she duct-taped you to that springy rocking horse?
[about Nikita, to Michael] And she didn't kill me because she likes me. Think you're just jealous she didn't ask about you.
The elevator doesn't lead to freedom. Just another room.
What?
The more you try to get out, the more you realize there will always be another room.
I thought I heard my name.
How did you get in here?
Front door. Like you.
I want you to know I can get to you, and hit you where it hurts the most.
My feelings?
Your funding.
Just like old times, huh?
Shut up. You were free. You had gotten out, you were gone. What the hell are you doing back here?
