Past

I'm running out of time...

I have to make a decision...

I've come this far... there's no escaping my fate now.

That must be a Triad henchman.

What am I walking into?

The pouring rain feels so purifying... but my heart feels so poisoned.

I wish I could stop time. I wish I could stand here forever... and drown in London's tears.

I'm staring into the abyss. I'm walking along a tightrope with nothing but darkness beneath me.

Normally, I'd be walking alongside my best friend...

My brother.

If I could ask for just one thing, it would be to have the strength to walk this line alone.

The hardest choices define us... I need to take this step forward.

But I... can't.

I feel stuck. What's the right path?

It's not often that we can see death on the horizon.

Checkmate.

 

*The henchman yells out*

 

Li: You're right on time.

Where's the other guy?

 

I guess I have to tell him...

 

Li: My boss isn't going to be happy...

You made a deal...

Nikita: Let me talk to the boss.

Li: Look... to be honest with you, you're better off talking to me.

Nikita: I'll make him an offer he can't refuse.

Li: You don't know who you're dealing with.

Nikita: Well, this is my only option now. So, I suppose you'll just have to kill me then.

 

*Li says nothing*

 

Death doesn't sound so bad anymore...

 

Li: You're playing with fire, man...

Why'd you come empty-handed?

Nikita: I had no choice. It is what it is.

Li: Here's the thing. When you walk inside empty-handed... Cheng will gut you.

And then, I will be the one cleaning up the mess.

But obviously, I can't let you go.

Nikita: Just give me one minute with the boss, that's all I ask.

Li: Yeah... well, alright.

Ri Zhou is in the back of the jet... good luck.

Nikita: Thank you.

 

*Li nods*

 

Li: By the way, my name is Li... just in case you make it out of there alive.
