              404. Into The Looking Glass

RenTV: В Зазеркалье
Teaser - Section One - Van Access. 
Team  comes  in  from  a  mission,  Michael and Nikita among them, with one
hostage.
Operations: What happened to the others?
Michael: Nikita killed them.
Operations: All we need is one to break the code.
Madeline  walks up, looks at Michael like she is trying to evaluate him; he
turns and leaves. Operations approaches Madeline.
Operations: He seems to be accepting the situation.
Madeline: He has no choice. Without Gelman's process, Nikita must remain on
the maintenance or else she dies.
Operations: Where are we with that therapy?
Madeline: On schedule. In seven days, the conversion will be irreversible. 


Scene Two - Section One - Corridor.
Michael approaches Birkoff 
Birkoff: I got a message for you. Birkoff passes Michael a mini-disc.
Michael: Who sent it?
Birkoff: Impossible to tell. The backtrace would only go so far. All I know
is that it was sent last week on a delay; showed up now.
Michael: Did you read it?
Birkoff: No. It's gene coded. To tell you the truth, anything that shows up
this way is something I'd rather not see. Can I go now?
(Birkoff leaves)
Michael punches in a code on a keypad he pulls from under a desk, goes to a
computer and puts the disc in. Typing shows on the screen.
DNA sample requested to access database.
He puts his finger on a pad and pulls it back, bloody. The disc plays; it's
Adrian.
Adrian:  Michael.  I've  made  this  tape  in  case you are unsuccessful in
getting  the  parameters of Gelman's mind control process. What you need to
know is this. Nikita can be saved.


Scene Three - Section One, White Room. 
Madeline  watches  as  Nikita beats the crap out of a man in the chair. The
Torture Twins enter and Nikita steps back.
Madeline: You can go, Nikita.
Nikita: I'd like to stay. 
(intercut back to Michael watching Adrian's recording)
Adrian:  Your  primary  focus  will  be  stimulating  obstructing emotions.
Sympathy, fear and love. It may be too late for me but you might be able to
return Nikita to the way she was.
In  the  White  Room,  Nikita  watches  with  no emotion and even with some
interest  as  the  man  in  the  chair  screams.  Madeline watches Nikita's
reactions.


Scene Four - Section One - Comm. 
Nikita walks into Comm and meets up with Walter.
Walter: I hear Algiers went well.
Nikita: Like clockwork.
Walter: You don't prep again for 24. Any plans?
Nikita: Liberia sim will keep me busy.
Walter: When do you sleep?
Nikita  keeps  walking.  Walter  sees Michael standing behind them and goes
over to him.
Walter: What are we going to do with her?
Michael: (hands Walter a mini disc) I need everything on here.
Walter: I already have the hardware for Mityan (sp?)
Michael: This isn't profile. 
Walter inserts the disk, types.
Walter: Quarantine nexus chamber:cerebral inhibitors:ultrasonance unit with
a  sensory  deprivation channel. Our girl's not going to go quietly. You're
going to need restraints.
Michael: It's been taken care of.
Walter: You thought of everything. But it's going to take time.
Michael: We don't have time.


Scene Five - Section One - Madeline's Office. 
Michael enters; Madeline is working at the wall computer.
Madeline: Thank you for coming, Michael. How's Adrian?
Michael: Fine.
Madeline:  Is  there  anything we can do to make her stay more comfortable?
(She  pauses; Michael doesn't respond so she moves on.) Gelman's process no
longer exists.
Michael: I know.
Madeline: What are your plans?
Michael: Plans?
Madeline: Regarding Nikita. 
Michael:  As  long as she receives the maintenance, you've got no reason to
be concerned.
Madeline:  That's what I told Operations. He's not convinced. Regardless of
Adrian, he's thinking about reinstating your cancellation orders.
Michael: I understand.
Madeline: You're not afraid to die, are you Michael?
Michael: No. You've seen to that.
Michael leaves.


Scene Six - Section One, Operations Perch. 
Operations and Madeline enter together.
Operations: Where are we with locating Adrian?
Madeline: Michael's done a good job making her disappear.
Operations: Then increase the manpower.
Madeline:  I already have three teams in the field. Any more exposure would
alert George.
Operationsl: What about Michael? Does he have a next move?
Madeline: I don't know.
Operations:  You saw the lengths he went to with Adrian. I don't think he's
finished - not by a long shot.
Madeline: Then manipulate his time until we're done with Nikita.
Operations: How much more time do you need?
Madeline: Five days.
Operations: Keeping Michael in play will prevent him from interfering. What
do we have that requires an undercover position?
Madeline: The Terrogamo mission.
Operations: That should suffice.


Scene Seven - Section One - War Room. 
Operations  is briefing everybody. He pulls up a holoscreen with a man in a
trenchcoat.
Operations:  The man you see here is Allessandro Terrogamo. Until recently,
he's  been  middleman  for  a number of French factions. Terrogamo recently
moved  up,  trafficking  in  nuclear  hardware,  software  and  we've  just
discovered,  biotechnology.  His  next transaction takes place in 72 hours.
His  contact  is  a  courier  who  works  for  Horst  Dante, a high profile
supplier. Dante is the key to taking Terragamo down.
Michael: How do you plan to infiltrate the meet?
Operations:  We're  going to intercept with hard product. Establish a cover
profile as the courier and take Terrogamo out. Michael, your team leaves in
one hour. That's all.
Operations leaves. Michael walks with Birkoff.
Michael: Where's Nikita?
Birkoff: Liberia. Faso mission.
Michael: She's going to need some downtime when she returns.
Birkoff: She's already put in a request to join the Merigo mission.
Michael: Has a team already been assigned?
Birkoff: Yes. She's leading it. There's no way to take her off point.
Michael: There's a way.
Birkoff: You don't have to tell me. 
Michael: All I need is the Liberia profile.
Birkoff: It'll be on your panel.


Scene Eight - Dante Residence - Freetown, Sierra Leone
A man in a leather jacket walks back and forth. He is strangled from behind
and  taken  out  of  play.  Inside  the house, the lights go on. Michael is
holding a gun on Dante and his girlfriend in bed.
Dante's girlfriend: Horst. Horst, wake up! Wake up!
Dante: What the hell is going on?
Dante's girlfriend: Horst! (they drag her off)
Dante: Easy! 
Michael: Your bodyguards are dead.
Dante: What do you want?
Michael: The bioware you plan on selling Terrogamo.
Dante: It is in the safe.
Dante  slowly  rises  from  bed  and  walks over to the safe. He flips up a
concealed  panel, types in a code and the safe opens. He draws a gun but of
course Michael is too quick for him and neutralizes him.
Michael:  (To  the  other operatives) Take him in. (into his comm set) Team
One has possession. Target is en route.


Scene Nine - Section One - Corridor. 
Walter and Michael meet up.
Walter:  It's done, but you better move quick. Liberia went bad. Nikita was
I.D.'d and Faso has a hit squad after her.
Michael: I know.
Walter: You know? Michael, that's impossible. It happened when you were out
in the f- Michael!
Michael: Don't worry. You're not involved.
Walter: That's not what I'm worried about.


Scene Ten - Nikita's Apartment, exterior. 
Outside  Nikita's  apartment.  A  masked  man  rappels down to her balcony,
enters the apartment quietly. Nikita is sleeping. His footsteps are audible
as  he walks through. As he pounces on her, she struggles and fights, rolls
off the bed.
Nikita: Who sent you? Faso? Michael? Michael? 
They continue to fight. She shoots him in the shoulder and he runs off. She
finds a syringe on the ground after he leaves and realizes he was trying to
tranq her.


Scene Eleven - Section One - Van Access. 
Michael and Nikita meet up.
Nikita: How did Minyon go?
Michael: We got what we needed.
Nikita: Liberia was the complete opposite. Faso wants my head on a platter.
One of his men already paid me a visit.
Michael: I heard. 
Nikita: You'll watch my back. Won't you?
She  grips  his  arm,  testing  to see if he's the one she shot. He doesn't
flinch.
Michael: We have to protect each other.
Nikita: Like always. 
Nikita walks away.


Scene Twelve - Section One - Madeline's Office. 
Madeline, Operations and Nikita are present.
Nikita:  It  wasn't Michael last night. I'm certain. She hands Madeline the
syringe.
Madeline: She's right. Michael would never have failed.
Operations: Then, who was it?
Nikita: Must have been one of Faso's men. 
Operations:  I want you to move to secondary quarters until this is cleared
up.
Nikita  leaves.  Madeline and Operations trade a look. Madeline seems to be
evaluating things - trying to figure out what/how much is a lie.


Scene Thirteen - Section One - Michael's Office. 
Walter enters.
Walter: Congratulations, Michael. I don't know what you did, but it worked.
Nikita's on permanent downtime until further notice.
Michael: Where do they have her?
Walter: That's a Birkoff question.
Michael: Find out.


Scene Fourteen - Section One - The White Room. 
Dante  is  restrained  in  the  chair, slits under his eyes. A videotape of
Dante's  girlfriend begging is playing. She repeats the same line over, and
over, and over again. I'd like her cancelled now.
Dante's girlfriend: Please, Horst, give them what they want!
Madeline: Are you ready to talk?
Dante: She doesn't mean anything to me.
Madeline: She's pregnant.
Dante: You are lying.
Madeline activates a monitor and two heartbeats are seen.
Madeline:  Your  girlfriend's is the one that sounds stressed. The other is
your unborn son.


Scene Fifteen - Section One - Corridor. 
Michael and Operations meet up.
Operations: Michael. Dante broke. 
Michael: Where's his courier meeting Terrogamo?
Operations: (gives a location - I can't distinguish it)
Michael: I'll handle it.
Operations:  Birkoff will take tactical. I'll have him download the details
to your panel.


Scene Sixteen - Section One, Corridor. 
Michael  puts his hand on Birkoff's shoulder as he walks past a corner. I'm
thinking  Birkoff  is  really  getting tired of Michael sneaking up on him.
LOL.
Michael: Birkoff. 
Birkoff: What's going on? You're supposed to be meeting with Terrogamo.
Michael: You take care of it. 
Birkoff: Me? I'm not a field op.
Michael: I need a window. There's not many people I can trust.
Birkoff: No. It'll never work.
Michael:  Terrogamo's  expecting a courier. (unintelligible) Tell Walter to
get you set up.


Scene Seventeen - Nikita's temporary housing. 
This is a way cool big glass and steel structure with staircases. I want to
move in, even if I had to get Nikita for a roommate! Hehehe.
Nikita: (to another operative who seems to be guarding her) I'll be back in
a couple of hours.
She  walks  downstairs and outside where Michael promptly shoots her with a
tranq  dart  and  she falls. He drags her under the stairwell where another
blonde  female  puts  on  her  jacket  and  walks off down the street. This
completely  fools  Nikita's bodyguard, who must be a member of the abeyance
pool  who Madeline sent to watch Nikita, thinking that this might result in
him  simply  being  annoyed  to  death and saving her a bullet. ;-) Michael
throws Nikita in the mission van and drives off.
Nikita's bodyguard: Shadow team, I'm on her.


Scene Eighteen - Michael's Hideout
Nikita  is  slowly  regaining  consciousness.  She  starts to fight. She is
restrained.
Nikita: Why am I here?
Michael: I want you to come back to your senses.
Nikita: I don't care about you.
Michael:  Yes  you do. You just need time to remember. You're going through
withdrawal.
Nikita: From what?
Michael: Gelman's maintenance drug.
Nikita: Why do you care?
Michael:  Drink  this. (he brings her some water. She pretends to drink but
then spits in his face)
Nikita:  Don't come near me. You had me emotionally, Michael - you blew it.
Does it hurt to be on the other side? Are you in pain? (mockingly)
Michael:  You  have  to drink this. (He takes the water into his own mouth,
forces his mouth down on hers and holds her mouth shut 'til she swallows)
Nikita:  You're dead Michael! When they find out you're off profile, you're
dead!


Scene Nineteen - Section One, Munitions. 
Birkoff approaches Walter. 
Walter: Yeah, you need something? 
Birkoff:  A  Glock  17  with  a  stealth holster. Two or three clips. Field
locator.
Walter: You're actually going to cover for Michael.
Birkoff: I can do it.
Walter: And end up in an early grave.
Birkoff: Thank you for the vote of confidence.
Walter:  Hey,  now,  come  on. Actually I'm proud of you. I'll get you your
goodies. When do you go?
Birkoff:  Operations  has  a meeting tomorrow at Center. That'll give me 22
hours to locate Terragamo.
Walter: You scared?
Birkoff: You can't imagine. 
Walter  hands  him  the  Glock,  after  some difficulty Birkoff succeeds in
loading it.


Scene Twenty - Michael's Hideout. 
Nikita  is  writhing  around with some kind of electronic hood on her head.
She's  sweating,  moaning,  looks  like she is in drug withdrawal. Then she
sees that he's in his t-shirt only and has a bandaged arm.
Nikita: It was you the other night. Why are you doing this? I tried to kill
you. I want to go back.
Michael: Not yet.
Nikita:  How  long  are you going to keep me here? I need to get back on my
maintenance. Please, Michael. Please. (She continues to groan and moan) I'm
scared:I'm scared.
Michael: It'll be over soon.


Scene Twenty-One - Section One, Comm. 
Operations enters Comm, goes up to Birkoff
Operations: Have you heard from Michael?
Birkoff:  He  checked in about an hour ago. Everything's going according to
profile.
Operations: Good. Keep me posted.
Birkoff: Yes, sir.


Scene Twenty-Two - Michael's Hideout. 
Michael  takes  a  cotton  swab  and  wipes  Nikita's  gums with it. She is
shivering and shaking, even in her sleep. He goes over and removes the hood
from  her  head. He takes off the handcuffs. She appears limp, unconscious.
He  carries  her  over  and  sets  her down in the window, drawing back the
curtain so she can look outside.
Michael: Look. 
Next  scene,  Nikita  is  lying  in a big black cylinder with a pulsing red
light,  apparently  undergoing  the next step of her deprogramming. Michael
walks  through  the  cabin,  goes  upstairs.  Inside  the  cylinder, Nikita
suddenly  wakes  and  looks  surprisingly  alert  and  normal. Michael goes
upstairs and watches the disc of Adrian again on his laptop.
Adrian:   Once   her  system  is  cleansed,  you'll  proceed  with  sensory
deprivation  and  emotional  building  blocks.  Your  primary focus will be
stimulating obstructive emotions. Sympathy, fear and love.
Michael  heads  back  downstairs. Nikita is lying on the floor, shaking. He
puts  his  gun down to check on her. She grabs the gun, springs to her feet
and points it at him.
Michael: Nikita, listen to me.
Nikita: Shut up! Tie yourself up. Tie yourself up! Tie yourself up.
Michael sits, cuffs himself to the chair.
Michael: You're through the worst of it, Nikita. 
Nikita:  Shut  up!  (Her  voice  is  still  vicious  but she appears shaky,
quavering.  She  is  unable  to  shoot him.) Sorry! (anguished) (She pistol
whips  him  and  runs outside, jumps over a fence and runs into the street,
where  she  almost gets hit by a man in a silver Mazda truck. Apparently we
used up the entire S4 arc vehicle budget in VOTG.)
Nikita gets the man in the pickup truck to drive her to a payphone (they're
speaking German).
Here is the translation, courtesy of Schneewittchen:
Man: Hey! Didn't you see me?!
N: Do you have a telephone?
Man: No, I don't have one.
N: Can you take me to one? (Couldn't make out what she said-I'm guessing)
Man: Yeah, no problem. Are you okay?
N: Yes.
Meanwhile,  Michael  breaks  the  arms off the chair, thus freeing himself.
Elsewhere, the man lets Nikita out of the truck and she runs to a phone and
dials.
Voice: Identify.
Nikita: Nikita. 31J7. 
Voice: Go ahead.
Nikita: Request permission for a secured line.
Voice: Designator?
Nikita: Operations.
Voice: Switching.
Michael pulls up behind her on a motorcycle.
Michael: Hang up, Nikita. In one more day, you won't need them.
Back  at  Section  One,  Operations  crosses  the  perch and hits a button,
answering the phone.
Operations: Yes?
Voice: Nikita for you, sir. Go ahead Nikita. 
Operations: Nikita? Nikita, what is your location?
Michael: You have to decide for yourself.
Nikita hangs up.
Operations: What happened?
Voice: We lost contact.
Operations: Trace the call!
Back at the phone booth.
Nikita:  (weeping)  What  have  they  done  to  me?  (She collapses against
Michael) Oh, it hurts. It hurts.


Scene Twenty-Three - Section One, Operations Perch
Operations is pacing. Madeline enters.
Madeline: Is something wrong?
Operations: Nikita just called, on an outside line.
Madeline: That's odd. What did she say?
Operations: Nothing. The call was disconnected.
Madeline:  I'll  check  with  her shadow team. See if it had anything to do
with Faso's men. Has Michael checked in?
Operations:  Birkoff  said  he  reported  about  an  hour ago. Do you think
they're together?
Madeline looks concerned, says nothing.


Scene  Twenty-Four  -  Michael's  Hideout.  
Michael   is  watching  Nikita  who  appears  to  be  taking  a  nap in the
sensory deprivation tube. She wakes, rubs her face.
Nikita: I slept. 
Michael: Yes (unintellible)
Nikita: There's still pain.
Michael: It'll go away.
Nikita: When?
Michael: When you let it go, Nikita.
He starts to kiss her softly.
Nikita: Michael. I love you.
Michael  and  Nikita  then  proceed  to  have  sex  in  the  black  sensory
deprivation tube. Well, there's a location I never thought of...


Scene Twenty Five - Section One - Van Access. 
Operations  and  Madeline  walking  together. May I just say that I utterly
love the suit they have on Alberta? It's got a deep V-neck, a thin belt and
a  high slit up the back of the skirt:kind of that 1940's style. Nice work,
Laurie!
Operations: The trace came back. I have a team in motion.
Madeline: I'll call you at the Center when she's found. 
Operations  leaves  and  Madeline  walks  away. Meanwhile, Walter is seeing
Birkoff off.
Walter: Mind if I tag along?
Birkoff: You sure about this?
Walter: Makes about as much sense as anything else around here.


Scene Twenty-Six: The meet with Terrogamo. 
Looks to be some kind of industrial plant. Walter and Birkoff walk through,
and pause at a doorway where a guard meets them.
Guard: I gotta search you. 
He  approaches  Walter,  who  is  wearing a black hat and looks for all the
world like he's in the Mafia.
Walter: Don't even think about it.
Birkoff: We're here to see Terrogamo. You've got five seconds to inform him
or we leave.
Walter:  One.  Two.  (Terrogamo's guard gets the clue and goes to find him.
Walter notices Birkoff is turning white.) Relax. Breathe.
Birkoff: I think I'm going to throw up.
Walter: Do it after the meet.
Walter and Birkoff walk outside and meet Terrogamo.
Terrogamo: Gentlemen. Sorry to keep you waiting.
Walter: Just don't let it happen again.
Terrogamo: Dante never mentioned a second courier. Who are you?
Birkoff: Are we here to do business or what?
Terrogamo: Business. Of course. (The guy with him hands over a briefcase to
Walter) Euros, just like you requested.
Walter opens the briefcase, shuts it again.
Terrogamo: Do you mind? 
Birkoff extracts a small metal case, hands it over.
Terrogamo: (pulls out a vial) Make me smile.
Birkoff:  It's  called CR-14. If even a small drop enters through a pore in
the skin, death is almost instantaneous. (Terrogamo suddenly gets a strange
look  on his face) Oops, I may have spilled some when I was pouring it into
the vial.
(Terrogamo  falls  dead, everybody shoots. Walter, laying on his back, gets
off  a  hell  of  a  shot, knocking a guard off the roof. I think Carlos is
going  to  have something to say about that one! Birkoff and Walter, having
taken  out everybody outside, go back into the plant. There's a guard there
but Walter drops him.)
Walter: That wasn't so bad, was it?
They leave. 


Scene Twenty-Seven - Michael's Hideaway
Michael and Nikita, lying around nekked. Sorry, overseas ops, but you can't
really see anything. Don't toss that tape of Hard Landing just yet.
Michael: We can't stay here.
Nikita: I know. 
Michael: We have to be stronger than them.
Nikita: I'd rather die than go back now.
Michael: Don't say that.
Nikita: Why?
Michael: Because I can't live without you.


Scene Twenty-Eight - Section One - Corridor. 
Operations and Madeline meet Michael as he returns.
Operations: Well done. I was at Center. I heard the Terrogamo mission was a
success.
Operations looks pleased. Madeline still looks skeptical.
Michael: Thank you.
Operations: I look forward to reading the debrief.
Michael: I'll have it on your desk this afternoon.
Nikita enters.
Operations:  Nikita, you were to remain at secondary quarters until further
notice.
Nikita: Or until Faso's hit squad was caught. 
Operatives  drag  in  several terrorists. Let me just say "huh?" for all of
you.  Maybe  they  are  holograms  or  Michael cloned them for use in these
situations. LOL.
Operations:  Good  work. Take them to containment. There's a briefing in an
hour. Both of you are in play.


Tag - Section One, Madeline's Office. 
Madeline: Come in, Nikita. Sit down. We know you were with Michael. Tell me
what happened.
Nikita: He kidnapped me.
Madeline: Why?
Nikita: Tried to turn me.
Madeline: And?
Nikita: It didn't work.
Madeline: You have no feelings for him?
Nikita: He thinks I do.
Madeline: You lied?
Nikita:  Lying  about my emotions was the only way I could convince Michael
to return to Section.
Madeline: Thank you Nikita.
Nikita: I did this for Section. Not for you. 
Madeline looks skeptical. She goes to meet Operations.
Madeline:  She  said  now  that  Michael's  pet project is complete, he can
concentrate on his job.
Operations: Nikita, the team player. Never thought I'd see the day.
Michael  and  Nikita  cross the floor at the same time, walk together for a
moment.
Michael: Did you read the sim?
Nikita: Twice.
Michael: We leave in an hour.
Their hands touch, lightly caress, unobserved - she's not brainwashed 
The End
