Nikita

Six years ago

I was taken from prison and

forced to became an assassin

for a secret

unit of the government.

A black ops program called "Division"

that has now gone rogue.

They destroyed my identity.

And they destroyed the man I loved. Daniel...

I escaped.

But there are others who have suffered my fate.

Recruits trained to serve "Division" against their will.

My partner Alex has infiltrated their ranks,

and together we'll free as many as we can.

Another piece in our plan to take down "Division."

Good morning.

Some of you have been in training here longer than others.

But none of you have experienced real world combat

as part of a strike team.

So, today, we will be testing your skills

in a simulated close-quarters firefight.

Team Alpha will be Thom, Ingrid, and Luke.

Team Omega... Robbie, Alex, and Sara.

During this sim, while you are trying to survive

you'll only have a second to decide

who is your friend,

and who is your enemy.

So choose carefully.

"Give us courage and the quiet mind.

"Spare to us our friends,

soften to us our enemies."

Why do I have to read this crap?

I need a big enough sample of your voice

for my text-to-speech program.

So, that once you're inside Division...

Yeah. You can hear me on the thingie. Fine.

Can't I just read "Us weekly" or something?

Poetry's better for the sound.

And you may learn something.

Spare my friends, kill my enemies?

Pretty clear on that.

If you know who your friends and your enemies are.

Yes.

What do you mean?

You think I'm gonna make friends inside Division?

Going through the program changes you.

It changed me.

The other recruits you'll meet,

they're not there by choice.

They've been abandoned and abused like you...

And me.

It's hard not to sympathize.

So, I make friends.

It'll make getting intel even easier.

What?

Making friends isn't hard.

Losing them will be.

Trust me.

When you're in a group,

I want you to take a look at the recruit on either side of you.

Odds are before you graduate, one of them will die.

Okay, I'm gonna lay suppressing fire.

Move to the next cover on three.

1, 2...

Go!

Sara, cover our six!

Our rear!

Alex, watch out!

Omega, better luck next time.

Good eyes out there, Alex.

- Thanks. - Sara...

I don't want to talk about it.

We have to.

I get it, okay? I suck. Got us killed.

And you're fine with that?

Just...

Hey, go easy on her, man.

Her failure's my failure.

You're a team leader, you get that.

Hey. Look at me. Look at me.

Look, everybody knows how good you are, Robbie. All right?

And you're already set to graduate this program.

Sara can't change that. Okay?

All right, come on.

I'm sorry I got us killed.

What? You saved my life out there.

"Alex, watch out!"

It's just a game.

You know it's not.

Relax.

I can't.

I got activated this morning.

For a mission?

Yeah. I know. Why me, right?

Bottom of the barrel.

Let me help you.

How?

After they brief you, come see me.

We can go over the plan together, help you prep for the mission.

Okay. Maybe.

Thanks.

You know, I pride myself on keeping Division totally paperless.

Not everything has to be a video game.

You have an attachment to things from the past.

Or, things that have... passed on.

It's okay to miss her, you know.

Nikki was... One in a million.

A force of nature.

Like a one-woman Michael Bay movie,

only with good acting.

You miss her, huh?

I mean, don't you?

Her death hasn't been confirmed yet.

Well, if she was still alive,

why haven't we heard from her in the past 2 weeks?

Denial is the first stage of grief, my brother.

The last?

Acceptance.

I guess I've accepted it.

Maybe you should, too.

You need to fix the sights on this thing.

All I know is that

they are using a recruit. Strange choice.

Strange how?

She's tough, but too sweet for Division.

Close to washing out.

Not sure why they picked her.

I think I do.

Your friend doesn't know it yet,

but she may have been handed a suicide mission.

What?

Because I've seen it before.

A recruit, low ranking, sent out alone.

We have to stop this.

This is a war to save our planet.

In a war people get hurt, people die.

They die for what they believe in.

My name's Tammy Smith, and I believe.

I'm a child of mother earth,

and I will fight to protect my mother.

Good job, Sara.

I... I tried to put a southern accent on it.

I noticed that. Here.

This is literature on the cell you're going to be infiltrating.

They're called Eco-front.

An environmental terrorist group.

Yeah, I figured with all that fight for mother earth talk.

The video is an important part of your cover.

And these are terrorists?

On the surface, they're a legitimate non-profit group.

But that's just a front for extremists.

They've fire-bombed factories, businesses, gated communities.

And have yet to be caught in the act.

That's why we're putting you on the inside.

Their next demonstration...

Will be outside the corporate headquarters of Texpro oil.

It's where you'll make first contact.

This is our operative?

This is Sara.

It's a very important mission, Sara.

Yes, sir.

Deep cover, minimal contact.

I'm ready, sir.

She's ready.

Read the material. We'll find you.

I won't let you down.

This the device?

Lightweight, and filled with nanoexplosives.

Remote trigger?

Of course.

Client wants us to minimize the collateral.

It is, after all, their facility.

If all goes to plan,

the only casualty should be Eco-front.

That's not entirely true.

Sara was already scheduled for cancellation.

Unless you want to reverse that...

Let's see her confession.

This is a war to save our planet.

In a war people get hurt, people die.

They die for what they believe in.

My name is Tammy Smith. And I believe.

Sara!

So, what'd they say?

Nothing.

What do you mean? They cancelled the mission?

- No. - So tell me.

Why do you want to know so bad?

I told you, I want to help.

I don't need it.

Sara, please...

What's the problem?

Look. I'm sorry, all right?

The mission is top secret.

And Percy trusts me.

And I don't want to screw that up.

I can't.

It's not dangerous.

Just a listen and learn. No wetwork.

Who's the target?
