Introduced in the earlier episode "Friend," international peace broker Mijovich (David Calderisi) has become head of a European nation that is recovering from a recent and very bitter civil war. Assigned to protect Mijovich at his inaugural ball, Nikita (Peta Wilson) and Michael (Roy Dupuis) are among those taken hostage by a band of rebels led by Zoran Brunen (Eric Peterson). Presiding over an ersatz trial in which Mijovich is charged with "crimes against humanity," Brunen has no intention of rendering a fair verdict -- and it falls to Brunen's daughter Maria (Kate Greenhouse) to determine the fate of the hostages. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
