Nikita

Surprise.

Oh, my God!

Derek? - Yes, from online.

what are you doing here?

- Yeah, I know. I just couldn't help myself.

Can you believe our profiles say that we're a 97% match?

H-how did you find me?

- Well, I saw a photo of you on Facebook

From a company picnic, and I gotta tell you,

You look much better in person.

- Listen, I'm going to go find some water

To put these flowers in.

I'll talk to you later.

Online. Okay?

- You know, I'm not normally the jealous type,

But did you want to tell me

Who "darlene643" from Cincinnati is?

I can explain.

You remember Heidecker, the guy with the plane full of kids?

- Uh, yeah. How could we forget?

Him and his psycho science friends?

The Shop.

- That's what they call themselves?

- No, that's what I call them.

You know, like the place in the Stephen King books?

They make cool stuff that kills people.

Mikey, please tell me you haven't been messing around

With these guys. - I've been following every lead

I could find.

One finally paid off.

- I really hope you're not talking about darlene.

- I found parking stubs in Heidecker's plane,

And I followed them to a building in Cincinnati.

Darlene got me into the surveillance room.

Her I.D. Card got me into the surveillance room.

Now, this is him in Kosovo.

And this is him in Cincinnati.

He visited the same floor twice a month

For six months--

Bellfar systems. - What does Bellfar do?

- I don't know. I can't find anything on them.

- You could be barking up the wrong tree.

- That's what I thought, until I found

Military-grade encryption on their servers.

- Well, what do you want to do?

Walk up to their door, knock on it,

And ask them for a new hand?

- More like knock it down and take what I want.

Birkhoff, if you hack their security,

I could be in and out tonight.

You mean we can.

- Okay. I'll start mission prep.

I'm hacking it now.

I'm right outside.

- It's the second on your left.

I got it.

Hello?

Is someone there?

Hello?

Hey! Hey!

Hey!

- Is Sonya okay? - She's fine.

The explosive was just a diversion

So she couldn't get a look at him.

What was he trying to do?

Take out a server array.

anything?

- The charge was small enough that it could have sat

Undetected for weeks.

- Do we know what the target was at least?

- Not yet. I need to check through the logs

To see if any of them had their diagnostic L.E.D. Activated.

What's that?

- It's a little green blinky light

So anyone who's not Birkhoff

Can find what they're looking for.

Any guesses?

This is division's brain.

I mean, you could cripple key systems,

Erase files.

Then that's our priority,

To find out what the target was and why.

- So this is where you met darlene.

This very spot.

I told her she could be the one.

On the first date?

You moved too fast.

- Ah, it's probably for the best.

Her favorite movie is Mac and Me.

creepy puppet Mac and Me?

- Yeah. - Makes you shudder

At the thought of date night.

Also, bow down before Shadow Walker,

For not even The Shop...

Is a match for his might.

- Okay, so what's your perfect date night?

- Are you kidding? We're on it.

Sneak and creep into a high-security building

Run by a shadowy organization.

Wow, you really know

How to spoil a girl. - Mm-hmm.

- Ugh, if I'd known "shmoopies" was gonna be

Part of this op, I definitely would have said no.

Thankfully, you guys are almost there.

Maybe I spoke too soon.

- What's going on? - Hang on.

- What happened to the might of Shadow Walker?

Birkhoff?

Guys?

I think I lost you.

Birkhoff!

You think they knew we were coming?

- Or no one was here to begin with.

Are you seeing that?

Yeah.

Someone left the light on.

What the hell?

- You are not speaking to a man

Returned from the dead.

We do not possess that technology...

Yet.

So who are you?

A familiar face.

This is a digital mask,

As with the surveillance images that Michael found.

You lured us here.

- To extend an olive branch.

- Not one for personal admirers. Who are you?

- Who we are isn't nearly as important

As what we can do.

Please, open the case.

If we'd wanted to kill you...

We would have.

- You are looking at a bio-prosthesis.

Tissue grown from Michael's own dna

Drastically reduces the risk of limb rejection.

- Nice. So what do you want?

Consider this a gift.

A way of mending the relationship

Between our two organizations.

- I didn't know we had a relationship.

We do now.

Edited & re-synced by erosman

Doc said it checks out.

so the hand is real.

- Everything Heidecker said was true.

- Any idea how they got your dna?

I've got some theories, but they all end with me

Never leaving this bunker.

- Well, Heidecker-- the--the dead Heidecker--

Told me that The Shop

Has blood work on every division agent.

- It's catchy, right? "The Shop"

- Yeah, they've got our attention.

- The question is, is now what do we do with it?

I can't walk into a local E.R. And have 'em pop it back on.

- Yeah, that's assuming it's not gonna go

All idle hands on you if they did.

- So the shop's the only one that can perform the surgery?

Why am I not surprised?

- Birkhoff, you think you could get them online?

What, are you scared of it? - No.

Would I rest easier if we dissolved it in acid?

Sure.

But I'm not scared of--

Son of a--

Relax, mr. Birkhoff.

Our interest is in division's skills,

Not its systems.

- Here we go. - We are thinkers, not doers.

When we needed something done, we asked Percy

To have division take care of it.

- Oh, I'm sorry. I killed Percy.

You're gonna have to come up with another strategy.

- Our strategy is mathematics.

You do something for us. We do something for you.

We need you to retrieve an item.

Deliver it to us

And we will perform Michael's surgery.

Take some time. Review the files.

I'll await your call.

You two should talk.

For whatever it's worth,

My vote goes for operation: Dissolve the laptop in acid.

I know what you're thinking.

This is a bad idea.

But Nikita, when I found out about this,

I didn't believe it was possible,

But now that it's right in front of us--

- I just thought you were getting used to the replacement.

That's all.

- I'm trying to make do, but...

When I realized that there was something out there

That was real, then every glitch,

Every spike of pain made it that much worse.

You're still in pain?

Why didn't you tell me? - You had enough to deal with.

- What else are you keeping from me?

- I don't know. You mean besides darlene?

- No. You don't get to dodge this one.
