Nikita

[voiceover] My name is Nikita. Six years ago I was taken out of prison and forced by a covert unit of the government to be an assassin. Three years ago I escaped and have been hunted ever since. I was the first recruit to get out. I'm going to make certain I'm not the last.

Michael: Your life is over, Alex. I'm here to offer you a new one. But you have to be willing to earn it. Alex: What do I gotta do? Michael: Learn...how not to sound like a teen meth-whore for starters. Learn to stand up straight. Learn how to walk right. Learn how to talk right. Learn how to serve your country, instead of just yourself.

Nikita: They told me I killed a cop. I don't remember...I've tried to. I'd just turned eighteen, so they were able to charge me with murder one. I was sentenced to die by lethal injection. Gary: No frickin' way. Nikita: Trust me, you'll want to save your 'no frickin' way' for the next part...where my execution was faked by a secret unit of the government called Division. They told me they were giving me a second chance. They told me they I'd be serving my country. What they didn't tell me is they were training me to be an assassin.

Nikita: Everything to make me the best killer I could be... till I broke one of their rules. Gary: What rule? Nikita: I fell in love. With a civilian. His name was Daniel. After 3 months together, all I wanted to do was be with him. Live a normal life but Division couldn't have that, so they killed him and made it look like an accident.

Nikita: Promise me something. Daniel: Right now, anything. Nikita: Promise me it's not a dream... I'm going to wake up from tomorrow.
