508. "A Time For Every Purpose"

        
(#96) Michael kidnaps Mr. Jones to trade him to The Collective for his son Adam -- or does he have something else in mind? Nikita must make a terrible choice: Does she save her father, or the man she loves?

best dialogue
NIKITA, bitterly: "Very clever. What? You think you found a way to kill Michael that I’ll find acceptable?"
MR. JONES: "It is important to save the boy."
N: "The Collective have promised to let Adam go twice. Twice, they haven’t done it. Why should it be any different this time?"
MR. J: "It is Adam’s only chance, and Michael has agreed."
N: "Michael doesn’t have a choice! You do."
MR. J: "My dear girl, none of us have a choice. Least of all, me."
N, fighting back tears: "Do you think with Michael gone, I’m going to stay and run Section?"
MR. J: "Well, we’ll see. Ah. An answer’s coming through from the Collective."
N: "Never going to happen."
MR. J: "We’ll see."
