Citadel: Diana (2024) s01e02 Episode Script
War
1
[Diana] Who are you?
Our name's Citadel.
PREVIOUSLY ON
Join us. We'll get the people
who murdered your parents.
We discovered something
that we need to act on immediately.
[Matteo] Your targets
will be other Manticore agents.
Do not intervene, for any reason.
- Do not intervene! Goddamn it!
- Luca.
- Calm down.
- It's the only option.
[Diana grunts]
[sighs]
I have the French half of the weapon
and a plan to resurrect Manticore Italy.
The French half of the weapon.
And the other half?
The German has it. He escaped.
It's Citadel technology.
And how would you know that?
They said they'd been working on it
for eight years.
I think they spent that time
rebuilding the weapon
so they could use it.
It's a hell of a risk to come here.
It's now or never. I know what I'm doing.
And 3-0-1? Where is he?
Well, that inspires confidence.
Look, I know operatives aren't supposed to
question the orders given to them,
but I was there eight years ago.
You know that.
I saw what they did.
They punished us for keeping
Citadel technology to ourselves,
but that's exactly what
they're doing here.
Now we have an opportunity to do the same.
Punish them.
Tomorrow, I'll rendezvous
with the German agent.
We know Germany's willing to pay
for the French half.
They won't tip off Manticore France.
Because think if they found out.
- Turn them against each other, is that it?
- Yes.
And it's not going to take much, too.
France was expecting a swap,
and all they got was a dead agent.
I bet they're upset.
And what makes you think
that I would side with you?
You've already betrayed Manticore Italy
just by being here.
I can make sure
you get the one thing you really want.
The opportunity to start over
And resurrect Manticore Italy.
Mr. Zani.
[Edo] Why didn't you take it to my father?
[Diana] Because your father
doesn't want a revolution.
He's content with the status quo.
And what are you content with?
What do you want?
I want a life again.
- To leave the agency?
- [Diana] Yes.
Manticore isn't what
they told me it would be
when I was recruited.
I thought we'd be fighting
corrupt governments,
the covert forces
that profit off of others suffering.
But instead,
I'm selling weapons to the mafia.
And I don't want to do that.
I can't, anymore.

Collateral damage
from special operation 011
on March 24, 2017.
Flight OT9732,
brought down during operation.
- You haven't agreed to help.
- First I have to make sure it's worth it.
I promised the German
we wouldn't download the data.
I can run a scan undetected.
UPLOADING UNI
DECRYPTED
You're the one who chose to come here.
Now trust me.
[theme music playing]
[reporter on TV] Now,
for the latest updates from Rome.
Today, a group of majority leaders,
led by the Prime Minister,
met to discuss the new law
- on firearm deregulation
- [door opens]
[reporter] which is expected
to be brought to Parliament
in the next few days.
The meeting began late this afternoon,
and there is no end in sight
as talks stretch late into the night.
- This is an indication
- [Diana] Hey.
[reporter] of how complex and nuanced
the subject has become.
- Everything okay?
- Yeah, sure.
[reporter] law will be wide-reaching.
- You already ate?
- It's 11 o'clock.
Listen, I got stuck
at this dinner meeting, and I-
Well, you could've at least
told me about it.
[reporter] working to ensure
that Parliament
You keep on finding ways
to avoid fucking talking to me
there's always something
more important to do.
Oh! Did you really just come here to fight
about the same fucking shit as usual?
I don't know what to tell you.
And I have to go out again anyways.
- Seriously?
- I gotta catch a flight
- so I can close a huge deal.
- Right now?
Yes, I have to, right now.
Hold on, wait, what are you doing?
Take me to the station,
I'm gonna go back home.
Get a grip. You work in finance,
you're not saving the damn world!
[automated voice speaking]
Anomaly detected.
Anomaly detected.
Son of a bitch. [scoffs]
[announcer] Please have all documents
and identification ready
when approaching the checkpoint.
All bags will be inspected.
Look, I promise you, next time
Don't make promises you can't keep.
Yeah.
I'll find the time for us
to talk about the house.
I know you're still hiding something
from me. Like always.
But I hope that you close the deal.
[siren wailing distantly]
[car starts]
[Diana] Sara
What are you doing, fuck!
[machine beeps]
I can't recall the last time
you were this anxious to come talk to me.
You weren't picking up your phone.
- Because I knew what you'd say to me.
- But I need to know what you're thinking.
Father.
This is the most important decision
of your life. Cecile
Your Cecile is working with Klein
to recreate Citadel technology
behind our backs,
and then allying with us behind Klein's?
Quite the wife she'll be, huh?
This is Manticore.
Everyone is hiding all sorts of secrets.
She wants to screw us over,
the Germans and us.
- You know something I don't?
- No.
But it's obvious she just wants to merge
to wipe us out.
What you see as a union,
in her mind is an acquisition.
I just bought a little time
to call Cecile's bluff, that's all.
Explain.
Trust me, Father.
You know the last time I trusted anyone.
This is not the same.
"Use your brains and stay cautious."
The words I've kept repeating every day
for eight years.
If I'd acted with more caution,
you'd still have a brother.
And I would still have a son.
Think you'd have asked Enrico
to marry her?
I don't think I would've needed to ask.
I know you're not like him.
And I also know that
I've stifled your ambitions.
But sticking our necks out right now
puts our existence at risk.
I've negotiated with Cecile at length.
We didn't get a bad deal.
You'll have total control
in your position.
Use your head, Edo. Nothing else.
[phone chimes]
DIANA
So?
9 YEARS EARLIER
You were right, I know.
Enough.
I have to finally quit all this
and get on with life.
Wanna help out?
Oh, and by the way, I found a job.
Over in Milan.
- You got a job?
- Yep.
- Are you serious?
- But, I won't take it
- if you tell me not to.
- Are you insane? You gotta take it.
Yeah, I bet you'd like the house
to yourself with Giorgio.
Well that, and Milan's only an hour away.
Hey, don't worry, we'll be fine.
- Okay? We'll be amazing.
- Amazing.
[both chuckle]
MILAN
It's good to see you again.
I've gone though all the black box
transcripts you gave me.
If you're going after the ones
who killed my parents,
then I wanna do something to help.
I want in.
I knew you would.
I lost my whole life
on that plane, you know?
Not just you.
One of our agents was on board,
that's the reason they brought it down.
I want to know about everything.
- About Citadel, about the Zanis.
- One thing at a time.
[mysterious music playing]
[lock clicks]
You swim after eating, don't you?
What?
[exhales sharply]
[Gabriele] All right!
Here's our training center.
[Diana] This is it?
Yep.
Where are the others?
They won't know about you,
and you won't know about them.
[scoffs]
So if I'm captured and tortured,
I won't be able to rat out anyone.
- Great.
- They're not gonna torture you.
Oh, yeah? You guarantee they won't?
- That's right, I guarantee it.
- Hmm.
Because I'll teach you
how not to get caught.
What do I have to do?
We think there's something
the Zanis have been building in secret.
You have to find out what it is.
First, get them to hire you.
And then, get them to trust you.
But you'll still work for us.

LIVING ROOM 2
[line ringing]
[Sara over phone] Hey.
- Hey, did you make it? Are you home?
- [Sara] Oh yeah, I just got back.
[Diana] Good, good. I was just worried.
I know the trains run late sometimes.
[Sara] No, no, no, don't worry,
don't worry. Everything's fine.
Good, I'm glad to hear it.
[Sara] Hey, what the
What's wrong?
[Sara] Uh, nothing. I
I just thought I heard Adele for a second.
No, no. We're fine. Everything's alright.
False alarm.
You know I love you guys so much.
[Sara] Me, too. So much.
Okay.
- Talk to you later.
- [call disconnects]
- I wasn't sure you were going to come.
- Well, I thought the same about you.
So?
What's the weapon?
I'm not completely sure.
The German half is a mystery still.
But the French half
is an interception system
that can be reduced to the point
that it's microscopic.
So their system's the controller.
Too bad it doesn't work.
At least, not the device you stole.
There's a flaw in the data.
It's a defect.
Miniscule.
Almost impossible to find.
But it brings the entire system down.
And it was placed strategically.
[scoffs]
The French never wanted
to exchange with anybody.
No.
- They just wanted the whole thing.
- And to double-cross Klein.
Perfect. So we let the Germans find out,
take advantage of it.
The Germans need to notice the flaw
on their own.
Do you think the flaw's visible enough,
or could we make it a little bigger?
[chuckles]
- Already done.
- Of course.
But we need to make sure
no one can trace it to us.
The French don't know we were in Lugano
and the German still thinks
I'm working alone so don't worry.
Good.
What convinced you in the end?
Manticore needs something new.
They also sold me on a different vision.
And if starting a war between allies
is the only way to do it,
then a war is what they'll get.
I should go.
I have to be there in four hours
to have time to clear the area
and make sure the German is there alone.
[Edo] Diana.
Stay alive.
[Diana] Enough!
That's enough. Please.
TRAINING
DAY 19
[grunts]
Okay, then give up.
[grunts] That's not funny.
Hey!
The Zanis have a specific type
they like to target.
They want people who have a good reason
to hate the government,
people who are convinced
that those in power only tell lies.
[grunts] Come on! Help me out!
The first level of truth
about flight OT9732
is that a mechanical failure
caused the crash.
But you didn't buy that explanation.
You started digging, and got close
to the second level of truth
which was, the aircraft exploded
at the hands of the secret service.
That's what you would have discovered
if I hadn't intervened.
[grunting]
And so this is precisely
what you're going to find out now,
to get on their radar.
They are the third level of truth,
- the real one.
- [Diana grunts] Help.
Please, Gabriele! Help me.
Gabriele, help me!
Help. [grunting]
[breathing heavily]
You're insane, Gabriele.
Who're you talking to?
They're the ones
who murdered your parents.
Your sister's the only one
you have left now,
and you choose to lie to her every day.
You should be mad at yourself, not at me.
Because instead of keeping her safe,
you leave her at home, all alone.
Hey, go fuck yourself!
Motherfucking asshole!
You don't know anything.
You're the one who got me into this.
I only leave my sister alone to work
my fucking ass off down here.
- Anger. There we have it.
- You don't
Exactly how long
did it take you to explode? Five minutes?
Bravo, it was all just an act
to upset me, is that it?
No, not to upset you, Diana,
but I needed to show you
just how quickly you lose control.
You were an open book for me.
They'd do the same to you.
A mole can't let themselves
be that exposed.
I'm going to teach you
to shut your emotions away
somewhere so remote
that not even you will know
what you're feeling.
It won't be good for you.
But it will save your life.
300 KM FROM MILAN
[dramatic music playing]
[object clatters]
I have the French half.
Show me the money
and I'll tell you where to find it.
[Weber] I'm moving towards you, okay?
Okay.
[Weber speaking German] Very clever.
Hiding it in the clown's head.
You think you're smart?
We've been watching you this whole time.
[Diana speaking English]
It's done. The German took the bait.
Perfect.
- Now listen to me. Next we have to
- [call disconnects]
Hello?
Hello?
[scoffs]
PARIS
MANTICORE FRANCE HEADQUARTERS
[Cecile] I'd be lying if I said
I wasn't expecting your call.
- You been having a nice day?
- Not too bad. How's yours been?
Did the night make things clearer?
I got to talking with somebody.
One of our employees.
He said he wanted to get fired actually.
So he could have a life again.
[scoffs] A life?
[French] Such a bourgeois dream.
[English] He's tired
of having to take orders.
He wants his freedom back.
And it makes sense.
Because I've begun to feel
exactly the same.
By joining me, you'd stop taking orders
from your father.
And take them from you instead?
[scoffs]
Seems like a pretty misogynistic view.
Oh please, Cecile.
[Cecile] All right.
So you've made up your mind?
Yeah.
It's been noted.
And besides we already
had our chance to make things work.
[French] Fine.
We'll go our separate ways.
[call disconnects]
[Ettore on call speaking English]
Have you located 3-0-1?
Still nothing. He's disappeared.
We can't afford a rogue agent
right now, Matteo.
- Not with what he's got.
- I know.
We're doing everything possible to
Matteo.
Just a moment.
[alarm blaring]
- What's going on?
- Somebody hacked into our system.
[indistinct chatter]
NO ACCESS
[agent 1] We need to find another option!
[agent 2] Anyone? Anything?
Father, what's wrong?
She took out our whole system.
The database, our entire network.
Simply gone.
Cecile has made us blind and deaf.
Our agents are out in the open.
Home addresses, aliases.
She's killing them us by one.
- What?
- She most certainly knows about Lugano.
That'll be her excuse officially.
Edo, I warned you!
Where are you going?
To beg for mercy.
I'm sure Cecile's about to dictate
the harshest terms of surrender
in history.
Unless she kills me
right there on the spot.
[Edo] Tell her it was Klein.
They bought off our agent.
Say it was the Germans
who started all this.
The Germans will go after us too
and I have no proof to back it up.
You do.
Say you got your hands on 3-0-1.
And you found out that he met up with
a German agent in Italy
- to sell him the weapon.
- I can't prove that.
The proof was here.
And we would have shared it.
[French] Gladly.
[English] But the thing is,
she destroyed it
when she hacked into our system.
You'll tell her that I implemented
an automatic data self-destruct mechanism,
in case of an attack.
Invent something.
Bluff.
Isn't that what you and I do best?
[phone ringing]
Heading your way.
Diana, Manticore France is attacking
all of our agents.
- What'd you say?
- [Edo over call] They know about Lugano,
you'll be at the top of their list.
You can't go home.
Do you understand, Diana?
- Okay?
- Oh shit, my sister is still there.
Diana!
[car accelerates]
Goddamn it, answer, Sara.
Pick up the phone, for fuck's sake.
Shit!
[tires screeching]
[Gabriele] You'll never experience
real happiness,
not like everyone else.
TRAINING
DAY 47
Because of the choice you've made,
you'll end up alone.
Is that envy? Or is it self-pity?
Visualize the safe in your head.
Am I really sincere?
Are you sure you can trust me?
You're almost there.
I lock my emotions in a safe
and I throw away the key.
Now I want you to picture it in your mind
until that's the only thing there is.
[exhales heavily]
[chuckles]
[Ettore] It's true,
we were spying on you.
You reconstructed the weapon,
without our knowledge.
Could've been my dowry.
I'm afraid I can't trust someone
who spies on me
and tries to destroy
eight years of my work.
We gave orders,
told them not to intervene.
Clearly, they ignored them.
Because one of them was a traitor.
He went behind all our backs.
I'll eliminate your agents one by one,
until you return what you stole from me.
[beeping]
[automated voice speaking French]
Eight agents killed.
[English] To that point,
agents 3-0-1 and 3-0-8 are missing.
Luca Pavan and Diana Cavalieri.
Will I have to find them
or will you give them to me?
[Diana] Sara!
[grunts]
Okay. We're done for today.
TRAINING
DAY 73
[exhales heavily]
Good.
You're going to have to take it up a notch
pretty soon.
- Oh, yeah?
- It's getting too easy for
- Ah! Ah!
- What's wrong?
- Ah.
- Diana, Diana, hey
- Hey.
- [groans]
It's okay. Sit down.
I got you. You're okay.
What did it feel like?
[Diana] Like a ringing in my ears.
- [Gabriele] Any dizziness?
- [Diana] Yes.
You're not the first one.
I'm not the first, what are you saying?
It's Mèniér's disease.
There's no cure.
It's a side effect of the kind of training
we're doing here.
That safe of yours.
It's got too many emotions locked inside.
So you knew this would happen,
that the training would cause it.
I knew we were running the risk, yes.
But these are going to help you
control it.
[gunshots]
[grunts]
Listen to me.
I don't have the other half.
[French] Too bad.
[automated voice speaking]
Nine agents killed.
Attack on 3-0-8 in progress.
[English] Then I'm not going
to stop the attack.
Klein has it.
You're too smart for this.
You must understand
that if 3-0-1 was selling it,
the only person who'd want half a weapon
is the one person who already had
the other piece.
Klein tricked you.
He never wanted to
actually make the exchange.
How do you know that?
We've located his agent.
We know that 3-0-1 had arranged
to meet the German
sent to Lugano.
Go check if I'm lying.
You control all our cameras now.
See where the German is.
And if he is in Italy,
then what I've told you is true.
[gunshots]
[guns cocking]
[footsteps receding]
Sara!
[phone ringing]
Yes?
[sighs in relief]
Hello.
- [Sara] There she is.
- [Diana] Hey.
Sweetheart. Hello.
Please. Where were you?
Uh, where was I? Um, at work.
You weren't answering
so I stopped by your place to check.
No, of course,
you did the right thing. I'm glad.
He found me there
and offered to take me out to dinner,
which you never have time for.
I thought you were going to go home.
And I thought that you were single, so.
No. You didn't tell her about me?
- It's
- [chuckles]
- No, no.
- [Sara and Edo chuckle]
No, I just haven't had time lately.
- But eventually, I was going to tell you.
- [Sara] Hmm.
- Sure.
- Yeah.
Well let's have a toast to celebrate.
- To us.
- And the end of secrets.
So then.
Tell me how the two of you first met.
TRAINING
DAY 98
[breathes deeply]
The bullet hole in my sister's head
looked super fake.
- It did.
- Yeah. Here, look.
- Let me see.
- Check it out.
I think you guys should really look into
hiring some new special effects people.
- It's horrible.
- That looks so cheap.
[chuckles]
[chuckles] You want a beer?
Sure.
Let's go.
I didn't want something really showy
or anything like that.
- Just simple and easy.
- It took a while.
- I asked her out not just the once
- [Sara] Mmm-hmm.
not twice,
it took five tries.
- [chuckles] Five tries?
- Five tries.
So what do you do when someone
turns you down for the fifth time?
But he wasn't my type,
I don't know what to say.
- Ah, thanks.
- I said "wasn't", "wasn't".
You just managed to surprise me.
[phone ringing]
My father. Excuse me.
- Oh my god, he is so hot.
- So would you mind explaining exactly
why the hell you were at my house?
- No no, we can talk about that later.
- What were you doing?
But in the meantime, could tell me
why I'm just finding out about him now?
Sara, come on, this is brand new,
I don't even know if it's going to last.
Whether or not it's going to last
is something you get to decide, Diana.
Mmm. No. I'm not so sure.
Oh come on,
don't you see the way he looks at you?
- He's head over heels.
- Please! Are you completely plastered?
- No, I'm not drunk. I just know you.
- Uh-huh, yeah.
I know you and I know how you can let
the past control everything you do.
But with this guy it feels different.
It's worth starting to think
about the future, isn't it?
Build something for yourself
that's not your job.
8 YEARS EARLIER
- Okay, will you tell me a few things now?
- [Gabriele] Like what?
Like how exactly
you found your way to Citadel.
- It's a long story.
- Good.
Citadel was created as a response
to secret services around the world.
- Hmm.
- They would cause wars,
overthrow governments
and assassinate opponents.
And so, around a century ago,
a group of women and men who were brave
and idealistic got together.
And they founded
a new kind of secret agency.
One that wasn't loyal to any one person,
or any one nation.
But to a principle.
Making the world into a safer place.
For everyone.
Citadel is a utopia.
And you, are going to be a part of that.
Welcome.
Thanks. [chuckles]
- You begin tomorrow.
- No!
You gotta be joking?
And what about teaching me to shoot
and setting me up with gadgets,
- and all the spy shit? No?
- Nah.
We'll leave all the boring stuff to them.
- They have to see you rough.
- You're saying I look rough, is that it?
- A little. They'll fix that though.
- Ah.
- You're a real piece a' shit.
- [both chuckle]
[Diana] When will I see you again?
We'll meet as little as possible.
Oh.
From now on,
we'll communicate through this.
- It cannot be traced.
- Okay.
And when you absolutely need to,
the location will be the same as always.
See you.
Diana.
We're the good guys.
Always remember that.
[Italian song playing]
Sara, it was so nice to meet you.
- Hope I get to see you again soon.
- Me, too.
- See you.
- See you.
Thanks.
- I'll walk with you back to your car.
- Okay.
See you.
I'll send a team to your house
to clean it up.
[Diana] Thanks.
- How many did we lose?
- Twelve agents.
Right.
Do you think that I'm still a target?
I don't know anything yet.
We severely underestimated
the consequences of our actions,
- and we can't do that ever again.
- Let's wait to talk about this.
My sister's standing there watching.
She was watching.
[Matteo] Why do you think
3-0-1 would do this?
I don't know. You'd have to ask him.
[Matteo] Rest assured we will.
But I'm asking you.
- [Diana] I don't know.
- [Matteo] Why would that idiot
take something without knowing anything
about what it does?
Maybe he was tired
of getting called an idiot,
and wasn't as dumb as you thought.
There is a girl he was seeing.
He wanted out, wanted a blank slate.
I think he took advantage of being on
his first untracked mission.
That's all I know.
[Matteo] Go get yourself stitched up.
Matteo thinks she's telling the truth.
Thanks.
I don't.
[Matteo] The justice you're hoping for
doesn't exist, Diana.
[Diana] Who are you?
We are the truth.
IN THE NEXT EPISODE
You're all here to fight injustice.
There are things
I just can't explain to you.
[Ettore] I've already activated
our contacts,
they're coordinating to capture Weber.
Do I have to take him alive?
[both grunting]
Every mission has a margin of error.
You're trained not to trust anyone.
Can you put that aside for one day?
[soft music playing]
[Diana] Who are you?
Our name's Citadel.
PREVIOUSLY ON
Join us. We'll get the people
who murdered your parents.
We discovered something
that we need to act on immediately.
[Matteo] Your targets
will be other Manticore agents.
Do not intervene, for any reason.
- Do not intervene! Goddamn it!
- Luca.
- Calm down.
- It's the only option.
[Diana grunts]
[sighs]
I have the French half of the weapon
and a plan to resurrect Manticore Italy.
The French half of the weapon.
And the other half?
The German has it. He escaped.
It's Citadel technology.
And how would you know that?
They said they'd been working on it
for eight years.
I think they spent that time
rebuilding the weapon
so they could use it.
It's a hell of a risk to come here.
It's now or never. I know what I'm doing.
And 3-0-1? Where is he?
Well, that inspires confidence.
Look, I know operatives aren't supposed to
question the orders given to them,
but I was there eight years ago.
You know that.
I saw what they did.
They punished us for keeping
Citadel technology to ourselves,
but that's exactly what
they're doing here.
Now we have an opportunity to do the same.
Punish them.
Tomorrow, I'll rendezvous
with the German agent.
We know Germany's willing to pay
for the French half.
They won't tip off Manticore France.
Because think if they found out.
- Turn them against each other, is that it?
- Yes.
And it's not going to take much, too.
France was expecting a swap,
and all they got was a dead agent.
I bet they're upset.
And what makes you think
that I would side with you?
You've already betrayed Manticore Italy
just by being here.
I can make sure
you get the one thing you really want.
The opportunity to start over
And resurrect Manticore Italy.
Mr. Zani.
[Edo] Why didn't you take it to my father?
[Diana] Because your father
doesn't want a revolution.
He's content with the status quo.
And what are you content with?
What do you want?
I want a life again.
- To leave the agency?
- [Diana] Yes.
Manticore isn't what
they told me it would be
when I was recruited.
I thought we'd be fighting
corrupt governments,
the covert forces
that profit off of others suffering.
But instead,
I'm selling weapons to the mafia.
And I don't want to do that.
I can't, anymore.

I promised the German

DECRYPTED
You're the one who chose to come here.
Now trust me.
[theme music playing]
[reporter on TV] Now,
for the latest updates from Rome.
Today, a group of majority leaders,
led by the Prime Minister,
met to discuss the new law
- on firearm deregulation
- [door opens]
[reporter] which is expected
to be brought to Parliament
in the next few days.
The meeting began late this afternoon,
and there is no end in sight
as talks stretch late into the night.
- This is an indication
- [Diana] Hey.
[reporter] of how complex and nuanced
the subject has become.
- Everything okay?
- Yeah, sure.
[reporter] law will be wide-reaching.
- You already ate?
- It's 11 o'clock.
Listen, I got stuck
at this dinner meeting, and I-
Well, you could've at least
told me about it.
[reporter] working to ensure
that Parliament
You keep on finding ways
to avoid fucking talking to me
there's always something
more important to do.
Oh! Did you really just come here to fight
about the same fucking shit as usual?
I don't know what to tell you.
And I have to go out again anyways.
- Seriously?
- I gotta catch a flight
- so I can close a huge deal.
- Right now?
Yes, I have to, right now.
Hold on, wait, what are you doing?
Take me to the station,
I'm gonna go back home.
Get a grip. You work in finance,
you're not saving the damn world!

Anomaly detected.
Son of a bitch. [scoffs]
[announcer] Please have all documents
and identification ready
when approaching the checkpoint.
All bags will be inspected.
Look, I promise you, next time
Don't make promises you can't keep.
Yeah.
I'll find the time for us
to talk about the house.
I know you're still hiding something
from me. Like always.
But I hope that you close the deal.
[siren wailing distantly]
[car starts]
[Diana] Sara
What are you doing, fuck!
[machine beeps]
I can't recall the last time
you were this anxious to come talk to me.
You weren't picking up your phone.
- Because I knew what you'd say to me.
- But I need to know what you're thinking.
Father.
This is the most important decision
of your life. Cecile
Your Cecile is working with Klein
to recreate Citadel technology
behind our backs,
and then allying with us behind Klein's?
Quite the wife she'll be, huh?
This is Manticore.
Everyone is hiding all sorts of secrets.
She wants to screw us over,
the Germans and us.
- You know something I don't?
- No.
But it's obvious she just wants to merge
to wipe us out.
What you see as a union,
in her mind is an acquisition.
I just bought a little time
to call Cecile's bluff, that's all.
Explain.
Trust me, Father.
You know the last time I trusted anyone.
This is not the same.
"Use your brains and stay cautious."
The words I've kept repeating every day
for eight years.
If I'd acted with more caution,
you'd still have a brother.
And I would still have a son.
Think you'd have asked Enrico
to marry her?
I don't think I would've needed to ask.
I know you're not like him.
And I also know that
I've stifled your ambitions.
But sticking our necks out right now
puts our existence at risk.
I've negotiated with Cecile at length.
We didn't get a bad deal.
You'll have total control
in your position.
Use your head, Edo. Nothing else.
[phone chimes]
DIANA
So?
9 YEARS EARLIER
You were right, I know.
Enough.
I have to finally quit all this
and get on with life.
Wanna help out?
Oh, and by the way, I found a job.
Over in Milan.
- You got a job?
- Yep.
- Are you serious?
- But, I won't take it
- if you tell me not to.
- Are you insane? You gotta take it.
Yeah, I bet you'd like the house
to yourself with Giorgio.
Well that, and Milan's only an hour away.
Hey, don't worry, we'll be fine.
- Okay? We'll be amazing.
- Amazing.
[both chuckle]
MILAN
It's good to see you again.
I've gone though all the black box
transcripts you gave me.
If you're going after the ones
who killed my parents,
then I wanna do something to help.
I want in.
I knew you would.
I lost my whole life
on that plane, you know?
Not just you.
One of our agents was on board,
that's the reason they brought it down.
I want to know about everything.
- About Citadel, about the Zanis.
- One thing at a time.
[mysterious music playing]
[lock clicks]
You swim after eating, don't you?
What?
[exhales sharply]
[Gabriele] All right!
Here's our training center.
[Diana] This is it?
Yep.
Where are the others?
They won't know about you,
and you won't know about them.
[scoffs]
So if I'm captured and tortured,
I won't be able to rat out anyone.
- Great.
- They're not gonna torture you.
Oh, yeah? You guarantee they won't?
- That's right, I guarantee it.
- Hmm.
Because I'll teach you
how not to get caught.
What do I have to do?
We think there's something
the Zanis have been building in secret.
You have to find out what it is.
First, get them to hire you.
And then, get them to trust you.
But you'll still work for us.

[Sara over phone] Hey.
- Hey, did you make it? Are you home?
- [Sara] Oh yeah, I just got back.
[Diana] Good, good. I was just worried.
I know the trains run late sometimes.
[Sara] No, no, no, don't worry,
don't worry. Everything's fine.
Good, I'm glad to hear it.
[Sara] Hey, what the
What's wrong?
[Sara] Uh, nothing. I
I just thought I heard Adele for a second.
No, no. We're fine. Everything's alright.
False alarm.
You know I love you guys so much.
[Sara] Me, too. So much.
Okay.
- Talk to you later.
- [call disconnects]
- I wasn't sure you were going to come.
- Well, I thought the same about you.
So?
What's the weapon?
I'm not completely sure.
The German half is a mystery still.
But the French half
is an interception system
that can be reduced to the point
that it's microscopic.
So their system's the controller.
Too bad it doesn't work.
At least, not the device you stole.
There's a flaw in the data.
It's a defect.
Miniscule.
Almost impossible to find.
But it brings the entire system down.
And it was placed strategically.
[scoffs]
The French never wanted
to exchange with anybody.
No.
- They just wanted the whole thing.
- And to double-cross Klein.
Perfect. So we let the Germans find out,
take advantage of it.
The Germans need to notice the flaw
on their own.
Do you think the flaw's visible enough,
or could we make it a little bigger?
[chuckles]
- Already done.
- Of course.
But we need to make sure
no one can trace it to us.
The French don't know we were in Lugano
and the German still thinks
I'm working alone so don't worry.
Good.
What convinced you in the end?
Manticore needs something new.
They also sold me on a different vision.
And if starting a war between allies
is the only way to do it,
then a war is what they'll get.
I should go.
I have to be there in four hours
to have time to clear the area
and make sure the German is there alone.
[Edo] Diana.
Stay alive.
[Diana] Enough!
That's enough. Please.
TRAINING
DAY 19
[grunts]
Okay, then give up.
[grunts] That's not funny.
Hey!
The Zanis have a specific type
they like to target.
They want people who have a good reason
to hate the government,
people who are convinced
that those in power only tell lies.
[grunts] Come on! Help me out!
The first level of truth
about flight OT9732
is that a mechanical failure
caused the crash.
But you didn't buy that explanation.
You started digging, and got close
to the second level of truth
which was, the aircraft exploded
at the hands of the secret service.
That's what you would have discovered
if I hadn't intervened.
[grunting]
And so this is precisely
what you're going to find out now,
to get on their radar.
They are the third level of truth,
- the real one.
- [Diana grunts] Help.
Please, Gabriele! Help me.
Gabriele, help me!
Help. [grunting]
[breathing heavily]
You're insane, Gabriele.
Who're you talking to?
They're the ones
who murdered your parents.
Your sister's the only one
you have left now,
and you choose to lie to her every day.
You should be mad at yourself, not at me.
Because instead of keeping her safe,
you leave her at home, all alone.
Hey, go fuck yourself!
Motherfucking asshole!
You don't know anything.
You're the one who got me into this.
I only leave my sister alone to work
my fucking ass off down here.
- Anger. There we have it.
- You don't
Exactly how long
did it take you to explode? Five minutes?
Bravo, it was all just an act
to upset me, is that it?
No, not to upset you, Diana,
but I needed to show you
just how quickly you lose control.
You were an open book for me.
They'd do the same to you.
A mole can't let themselves
be that exposed.
I'm going to teach you
to shut your emotions away
somewhere so remote
that not even you will know
what you're feeling.
It won't be good for you.
But it will save your life.
300 KM FROM MILAN

I have the French half.
Show me the money
and I'll tell you where to find it.
[Weber] I'm moving towards you, okay?
Okay.
[Weber speaking German] Very clever.
Hiding it in the clown's head.
You think you're smart?
We've been watching you this whole time.

It's done. The German took the bait.
Perfect.

PARIS
MANTICORE FRANCE HEADQUARTERS
[Cecile] I'd be lying if I said
I wasn't expecting your call.
- You been having a nice day?
- Not too bad. How's yours been?
Did the night make things clearer?
I got to talking with somebody.
One of our employees.
He said he wanted to get fired actually.
So he could have a life again.
[scoffs] A life?
[French] Such a bourgeois dream.
[English] He's tired
of having to take orders.
He wants his freedom back.
And it makes sense.
Because I've begun to feel
exactly the same.
By joining me, you'd stop taking orders
from your father.
And take them from you instead?
[scoffs]
Seems like a pretty misogynistic view.
Oh please, Cecile.
[Cecile] All right.
So you've made up your mind?
Yeah.
It's been noted.
And besides we already
had our chance to make things work.
[French] Fine.
We'll go our separate ways.
[call disconnects]
[Ettore on call speaking English]
Have you located 3-0-1?
Still nothing. He's disappeared.
We can't afford a rogue agent
right now, Matteo.
- Not with what he's got.
- I know.
We're doing everything possible to
Matteo.
Just a moment.
[alarm blaring]
- What's going on?
- Somebody hacked into our system.
[indistinct chatter]
NO ACCESS
[agent 1] We need to find another option!
[agent 2] Anyone? Anything?
Father, what's wrong?
She took out our whole system.
The database, our entire network.
Simply gone.
Cecile has made us blind and deaf.
Our agents are out in the open.
Home addresses, aliases.
She's killing them us by one.
- What?
- She most certainly knows about Lugano.
That'll be her excuse officially.
Edo, I warned you!
Where are you going?
To beg for mercy.
I'm sure Cecile's about to dictate
the harshest terms of surrender
in history.
Unless she kills me
right there on the spot.
[Edo] Tell her it was Klein.
They bought off our agent.
Say it was the Germans
who started all this.
The Germans will go after us too
and I have no proof to back it up.
You do.
Say you got your hands on 3-0-1.
And you found out that he met up with
a German agent in Italy
- to sell him the weapon.
- I can't prove that.
The proof was here.
And we would have shared it.
[French] Gladly.
[English] But the thing is,
she destroyed it
when she hacked into our system.
You'll tell her that I implemented
an automatic data self-destruct mechanism,
in case of an attack.
Invent something.
Bluff.
Isn't that what you and I do best?
[phone ringing]
Heading your way.
Diana, Manticore France is attacking
all of our agents.
- What'd you say?
- [Edo over call] They know about Lugano,
you'll be at the top of their list.
You can't go home.
Do you understand, Diana?
- Okay?
- Oh shit, my sister is still there.
Diana!
[car accelerates]
Goddamn it, answer, Sara.
Pick up the phone, for fuck's sake.
Shit!
[tires screeching]
[Gabriele] You'll never experience
real happiness,
not like everyone else.
TRAINING
DAY 47
Because of the choice you've made,
you'll end up alone.
Is that envy? Or is it self-pity?
Visualize the safe in your head.
Am I really sincere?
Are you sure you can trust me?
You're almost there.
I lock my emotions in a safe
and I throw away the key.
Now I want you to picture it in your mind
until that's the only thing there is.
[exhales heavily]
[chuckles]
[Ettore] It's true,
we were spying on you.
You reconstructed the weapon,
without our knowledge.
Could've been my dowry.
I'm afraid I can't trust someone
who spies on me
and tries to destroy
eight years of my work.
We gave orders,
told them not to intervene.
Clearly, they ignored them.
Because one of them was a traitor.
He went behind all our backs.
I'll eliminate your agents one by one,
until you return what you stole from me.
[beeping]
[automated voice speaking French]
Eight agents killed.
[English] To that point,
agents 3-0-1 and 3-0-8 are missing.
Luca Pavan and Diana Cavalieri.
Will I have to find them
or will you give them to me?
[Diana] Sara!
[grunts]
Okay. We're done for today.

DAY 73
[exhales heavily]
Good.
You're going to have to take it up a notch
pretty soon.
- Oh, yeah?
- It's getting too easy for
- Ah! Ah!
- What's wrong?
- Ah.
- Diana, Diana, hey
- Hey.
- [groans]
It's okay. Sit down.
I got you. You're okay.
What did it feel like?
[Diana] Like a ringing in my ears.
- [Gabriele] Any dizziness?
- [Diana] Yes.
You're not the first one.
I'm not the first, what are you saying?
It's Mèniér's disease.
There's no cure.
It's a side effect of the kind of training
we're doing here.
That safe of yours.
It's got too many emotions locked inside.
So you knew this would happen,
that the training would cause it.
I knew we were running the risk, yes.
But these are going to help you
control it.
[gunshots]
[grunts]
Listen to me.
I don't have the other half.
[French] Too bad.
[automated voice speaking]
Nine agents killed.
Attack on 3-0-8 in progress.
[English] Then I'm not going
to stop the attack.
Klein has it.
You're too smart for this.
You must understand
that if 3-0-1 was selling it,
the only person who'd want half a weapon
is the one person who already had
the other piece.
Klein tricked you.
He never wanted to
actually make the exchange.
How do you know that?
We've located his agent.
We know that 3-0-1 had arranged
to meet the German
sent to Lugano.
Go check if I'm lying.
You control all our cameras now.
See where the German is.
And if he is in Italy,
then what I've told you is true.
[gunshots]
[guns cocking]
[footsteps receding]
Sara!
[phone ringing]
Yes?
[sighs in relief]
Hello.
- [Sara] There she is.
- [Diana] Hey.
Sweetheart. Hello.
Please. Where were you?
Uh, where was I? Um, at work.
You weren't answering
so I stopped by your place to check.
No, of course,
you did the right thing. I'm glad.
He found me there
and offered to take me out to dinner,
which you never have time for.
I thought you were going to go home.
And I thought that you were single, so.
No. You didn't tell her about me?
- It's
- [chuckles]
- No, no.
- [Sara and Edo chuckle]
No, I just haven't had time lately.
- But eventually, I was going to tell you.
- [Sara] Hmm.
- Sure.
- Yeah.
Well let's have a toast to celebrate.
- To us.
- And the end of secrets.
So then.
Tell me how the two of you first met.
TRAINING
DAY 98
[breathes deeply]
The bullet hole in my sister's head
looked super fake.
- It did.
- Yeah. Here, look.
- Let me see.
- Check it out.
I think you guys should really look into
hiring some new special effects people.
- It's horrible.
- That looks so cheap.
[chuckles]
[chuckles] You want a beer?
Sure.
Let's go.
I didn't want something really showy
or anything like that.
- Just simple and easy.
- It took a while.
- I asked her out not just the once
- [Sara] Mmm-hmm.
not twice,
it took five tries.
- [chuckles] Five tries?
- Five tries.
So what do you do when someone
turns you down for the fifth time?
But he wasn't my type,
I don't know what to say.
- Ah, thanks.
- I said "wasn't", "wasn't".
You just managed to surprise me.
[phone ringing]
My father. Excuse me.
- Oh my god, he is so hot.
- So would you mind explaining exactly
why the hell you were at my house?
- No no, we can talk about that later.
- What were you doing?
But in the meantime, could tell me
why I'm just finding out about him now?
Sara, come on, this is brand new,
I don't even know if it's going to last.
Whether or not it's going to last
is something you get to decide, Diana.
Mmm. No. I'm not so sure.
Oh come on,
don't you see the way he looks at you?
- He's head over heels.
- Please! Are you completely plastered?
- No, I'm not drunk. I just know you.
- Uh-huh, yeah.
I know you and I know how you can let
the past control everything you do.
But with this guy it feels different.
It's worth starting to think
about the future, isn't it?
Build something for yourself
that's not your job.
8 YEARS EARLIER
- Okay, will you tell me a few things now?
- [Gabriele] Like what?
Like how exactly
you found your way to Citadel.
- It's a long story.
- Good.
Citadel was created as a response
to secret services around the world.
- Hmm.
- They would cause wars,
overthrow governments
and assassinate opponents.
And so, around a century ago,
a group of women and men who were brave
and idealistic got together.
And they founded
a new kind of secret agency.
One that wasn't loyal to any one person,
or any one nation.
But to a principle.
Making the world into a safer place.
For everyone.
Citadel is a utopia.
And you, are going to be a part of that.
Welcome.
Thanks. [chuckles]
- You begin tomorrow.
- No!
You gotta be joking?
And what about teaching me to shoot
and setting me up with gadgets,
- and all the spy shit? No?
- Nah.
We'll leave all the boring stuff to them.
- They have to see you rough.
- You're saying I look rough, is that it?
- A little. They'll fix that though.
- Ah.
- You're a real piece a' shit.
- [both chuckle]
[Diana] When will I see you again?
We'll meet as little as possible.
Oh.
From now on,
we'll communicate through this.
- It cannot be traced.
- Okay.
And when you absolutely need to,
the location will be the same as always.
See you.
Diana.
We're the good guys.
Always remember that.
[Italian song playing]
Sara, it was so nice to meet you.
- Hope I get to see you again soon.
- Me, too.
- See you.
- See you.
Thanks.
- I'll walk with you back to your car.
- Okay.
See you.
I'll send a team to your house
to clean it up.
[Diana] Thanks.
- How many did we lose?
- Twelve agents.
Right.
Do you think that I'm still a target?
I don't know anything yet.
We severely underestimated
the consequences of our actions,
- and we can't do that ever again.
- Let's wait to talk about this.
My sister's standing there watching.
She was watching.
[Matteo] Why do you think
3-0-1 would do this?
I don't know. You'd have to ask him.
[Matteo] Rest assured we will.
But I'm asking you.
- [Diana] I don't know.
- [Matteo] Why would that idiot
take something without knowing anything
about what it does?
Maybe he was tired
of getting called an idiot,
and wasn't as dumb as you thought.
There is a girl he was seeing.
He wanted out, wanted a blank slate.
I think he took advantage of being on
his first untracked mission.
That's all I know.
[Matteo] Go get yourself stitched up.
Matteo thinks she's telling the truth.
Thanks.
I don't.
[Matteo] The justice you're hoping for
doesn't exist, Diana.
[Diana] Who are you?
We are the truth.
IN THE NEXT EPISODE
You're all here to fight injustice.
There are things
I just can't explain to you.
[Ettore] I've already activated
our contacts,
they're coordinating to capture Weber.
Do I have to take him alive?
[both grunting]
Every mission has a margin of error.
You're trained not to trust anyone.
Can you put that aside for one day?
[soft music playing]
