WICKE, JOHN AND HELEN: (Wayne Best, actor; Sherry Miller, actress) International arms dealers since 1984. Activity is mostly limited to class two or three explosives. Latest acquisition is a nuclear trigger. A highly classified device, it’s just as valuable as a warhead itself. Seemingly invincible, their strength is that they trust no one. Section discovers that they have one weakness. . .a missing daughter. (NOTE: Helen tells Nikita she and John met eleven years ago, which would be 1986. Yet their profile suggests they have been in business since 1984. Apparently the proofreader was sick that day. . .) Nikita poses as the missing daughter to use the weakness to Section’s advantage. Nikita kills John knowing he won’t give up the location of the trigger. When Section threatens to kill her daughter, Helen gives up the trigger’s location. Section retrieves the trigger and the buyers. Profiled in S1 "Mother".

Williams is apprehended by Section One and questioned regarding Vacek’s location. He cracks after one session with the torture twins. Williams is profiled in S3 “Opening Night Jitters”.
