Expert: Josephine Date: 6/19/2007 Subject: series 2 "third person"
Question I have managed to get the entire collection (I live in the UK and it is nearly impossible to get it here). I had only seen until series 3 then, so now I have started to watch from episode 1 and I am looking forward to watch series 4&5, which I have never seen before.
Question: series 2, at the beginning of the series, when Nikita starts to fancy Jurgen, I don't understand something. Towards the end of an episode Michael shoots him on the leg on a mission, and Nikita sees this, but I don't understand why he shoots him on the leg on the first place?, why does he want to achieve doing this?. any ideas/opinion?. Maybe I missed something. I was just surprised, certainly he didn't do that because he was jealous, did he?
Thank you in advance for your time

Answer Well honey, yes you did miss something as a matter of fact this is the dialogue you missed....
Birkoff: No, the last one is pinned into sylo. Michael's got it.
As Nikita returns for the van, she notices Michael aiming his gun at Jurgen who is running toward one of the warehouses.
Nikita: (whispers) Michael, NO.
Michael doesn't waver and shoot Jurgen in the leg. He then runs toward Jurgen.
Michael: (yells at Nikita) Get stay back.
He helps Jurgen to get up, and drags him behind a building. Just then the whole warehouse blew up.
Michael: I couldn't get the last one out. So I planned a charge, I tried to warn you but your com. set was out. Birkoff, get us out of here.
I think though that yes Michael was really jealous, but he was being watched as always, if you want to read the rest of the dialogue go to www.cynbythesea.com (go to episodes, you'll find great transcripts)
