24 minutes |
Nikita becomes friendly with
another female operative, Terri, who seems to have some history with Michael. On one of
Michael’s missions Terri refuses to perform a dangerous task and the mission fails.
Michael challenges Nikita as to what she is hiding about Terri but Nikita refuses to tell
him. Michael finds out that Terri is pregnant but when asked outright he tells Nikita that
Simone never was. Apparently after meeting with Michael, Terri decides to have an
abortion. Later on a mission, however, Terri does an about face and sides with the bad guy
Bates, who shoots Michael in the leg so they can escape. Recovering in MediLab, Michael
tells Nikita he was not the father of Terri’s baby (great zoom shot on Michael in
this scene). |

"What’s the relative
value of ‘ostage versus target?"
"They’re about to
shoot a hostage, get off this channel and go."
"If something’s
going on with her that could compromise her performance, then you need to tell me."
"And you think I’m
the father?" |

During the now notorious
‘Terri in the bathroom’ scene we get to see Roy struggling to maintain a
straight face – and failing. One of the classic LFN bloopers. Still on a comedic
theme, playing straight man to Carlo Rota’s clown is carried off with some style,
while the revelation about Simone’s baby brings dismay as a cherished War myth
is shattered. Or is it? If this, and the final denial of paternity of Terri’s baby
are lies, Roy isn’t giving away any clues. |
