Correct Answers

Ri Zhou: You're probably asking what happened to Pavel Sokolov, the KGB agent that killed your parents.

 

*Ri Zhou scoffs*

 

Ri Zhou: Coincidentally, the same name as your brother... "Pavel".

Nikita: I... can't even think right now.

Ri Zhou: I am sorry for your loss, Nikita. I will do everything in my power to give you the life you never had... to give you another chance.

Nikita: Why are you so generous?

Ri Zhou: You'd be surprised how good it feels to be generous when you have the means to do so.

Nikita: All these years... and it turns out the government killed my parents. My own homeland...

Ri Zhou: Your parents weren't bad people. It was Victor, the family friend, who got them into everything.

But when I went to investigate Victor, I realized he committed suicide by jumping out of a car. It wasn't too long ago.

Nikita: Yes, I know... I was the one driving the car when he jumped out. I saw him explode in front of my eyes.

But what do you mean, Victor got my parents into all of "this"?

Ri Zhou: He was the one selling secrets... not your parents. He left his briefcase at your parents' house one night.

And that was the night the KGB investigated your parents' house. It was all just bad luck...

Nikita: Everything in life is just... so disgustingly...

Ri Zhou: Yes... I know.

Do you know what haunts me, Nikita?

Nikita: Do I even want to know?

Ri Zhou: I'm incapable of having children. My legacy will follow me to the grave.

When I found out about your life, I knew we had a special connection...

I will never have a son and I lost my wife 2 years ago. You will never see your parents. We both share a family tragedy.

 

*Nikita looks at Ri Zhou*

 

Nikita: Maybe this will blossom into a great friendship.

Ri Zhou: You remind me of my younger self.

Nikita: For the first time in my life, I feel more in control.

Ri Zhou: Xinshen. It means spirit and mind.

 

*Nikita stares at the melting ice in his glass*

 

Ri Zhou: Your alias will be: Xinshen.

Nikita: Xinshen.

Ri Zhou: Let me show you how much I've already invested in you...

 

*Ri Zhou pulls out a box*

 

Ri Zhou: I'm with you, Nikita. Together, we will build the greatest thing humanity has ever seen.

 

*Nikita grabs the box*

 

Nikita: What's this?

 

*Nikita looks inside*

 

Nikita: Oh, my... What the!?

Ri Zhou: That's the KGB agent's head... Agent Pavel Sokolov has paid in blood. I've avenged your parents, Xinshen.

 

*Nikita closes the box*

 

Nikita: ... thanks.

Ri Zhou: Ah, look ahead. On the horizon, you can see the beautiful city. Hong Kong.

The next phase of your life begins here, Xinshen. I believe in your abilities and I believe in our friendship.
