Birkoff (Matthew Ferguson) is alerted to the fact that a nuclear bomb is being smuggled into the United States. The only witness to this operation is Rudy (Maury Chaykin), a mentally challenged pizza deliverer who accidentally spotted the smugglers at a large municipal airport. When Rudy is brought into Section One for debriefing, Nikita (Peta Wilson) realizes that he will never be allowed to leave alive, and tries to help him. But there may not be any time to help anyone: Unless the bomb is intercepted within 24 hours, a major American city will be wiped from the face of the Earth. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
