| Michael's POV Onscreen:
12 minutes |
Section deduces that master of
disguise and fearsome terrorist Gregor Kessler will steal a canister of cobalt 60 from the
Elegra plant in Toronto, and Michael and Nikita fly all that way (hah!) to play security
guards for the day. Posing as an Asian cleaner, Kessler steals the cobalt 60 after
borrowing the project leader’s security pass (pity it’s his retina), but is
overpowered by our two heroes and brought back to Section, where Michael’s karate
kick fails to prevent him from biting his daughter’s throat out. Kessler is allowed
to escape so that he will lead them to the cobalt, and Section beat him at his own game by
fielding Michael disguised as Madeline. The removal of Michael’s latex mask is
probably the most gruesome scene of all. |

Performance Rating
 |
Primarily a showcase in which
Alberta Watson spars with Harris Yulin (Kessler), Roy’s role consists entirely of
high kicks, running like a girl, and cross dressing. Whatever the merits of this episode
may be, they don’t do him many favours. |
