Citadel: Diana (2024) s01e04 Episode Script

[Ettore] We have to track down
the French half.
And return it to Cecile
as a kind of olive branch.
PREVIOUSLY ON
[Edo] The Magnanos wanted to talk
to someone in the family.
They'll tell me where to find Weber
and then you'll go get him.
Just one small detail.
I have to capture him alive.
[Weber screams]
[Edo] All missions have a margin of error.
[Ettore] This video is impeccable.
I just knew when you got on that plane,
you weren't going to bring
Weber back with you.
[Giada] Diana. We warned you.
[Edo] How is that possible?
How did you get it?
How is it possible
that you were both so naive
that you thought you could outsmart me?
You and 3-0-8.
[Edo] Where is she?
Somewhere she can't hurt anyone else.
You mean you sent us to Sicily
to see if I was conspiring with her?
I didn't send her there.
You could've chosen another agent.
I had already found Weber.
- He told me everything I needed to know.
- [Diana grunting]
[Ettore] He also had a family.
Which gave him no choice.
I forced him to become your prey.
I was doing what was best for the agency.
If I'd told you, it never would've worked.
You have no idea
of what's best for the agency.
Now, thanks to my intervention,
the completed weapon's in our possession.
Are you sure?
The French half you took from Weber
is a fake.
Cecile made it for Klein
so she'd be the only one
who could actually build the whole thing.
When were you thinking of telling me?
I just did.
And I want you to acknowledge
that we only know this because of my plan.
[Giada] Stop there.
[exhales]
Open the door.
Move it.
[Diana breathing heavily]
- There's no time for more lies.
- [Edo scoffs]
Rich, coming from you.
All of that bullshit
for all of these years.
The vision you fed me of Manticore.
You lied to me.
And lied to the other families.
I have only done that once.
Once and never again.
Look how dearly I paid.
I remember you'd sent your son to die,
and you didn't change a thing.
You didn't rethink your plan.
You still kept the technology.
Still tried to screw everyone over.
So you mustered up the courage
to finally come clean and tell me
what you think of me.
No, Father.
I've had the courage this whole time.
What I didn't have was your attention.
Which you've now lost,
just like your job at Manticore.
You're out of the agency.
[theme music playing]
[breathing deeply]
Lenses deactivated. Let's go.
This is a mistake, you know that.
How long have you and I known one another?
How long had you and Luca
known each other?
Please, you can't believe that.
I would never hurt Luca.
I hope you rot in here.
[Julia] Edo.
Wait.
If you want to give me a lecture,
don't bother. I'm done.
I want to understand.
Did you know
that sending me to Sicily was a trap?
I knew, and I was against it.
That's what we were talking about
when you saw us arguing.
You know I've always supported you.
I really believed
his suspicions were unfounded.
I'm very disappointed in you.
Plotting behind our backs with some agent.
Diana is not just some agent.
Since when do agents have a name, Edo?
Since I met one who was brave enough
to put her own life in jeopardy
to protect the agency.
You defend her so passionately.
Because she's earned it.
I'm not like all of you.
I can't treat everyone
like they're just pawns.
"All of you"?
Yes, even you.
Because if you let them kill her
for no reason,
then you're no different than him.
Edo.
They're interrogating her.
You couldn't wait
'til they were in the conference room?
No.
[French] And you?
Me neither.
8 YEARS EARLIER
[English] It's strange you're here.
My father wants me to give a presentation
on new security tech.
[French] Good.
And you?
- Why are you here?
- [Marianne] Cecile?
- [English] I'm about to find out.
- [Marianne] Cecile!
[French] Here I am, Mom.
You're coming in with me today.
All right.
ACCESS DENIED
[English] Shit!
What the hell's going on?
My father knows everything.
About you, about Lugano, about 3-0-1.
Fuck
And you?
Totally cut out.
How'd you get in here then?
I'm the one who designed
Manticore's whole security system.
Okay. Then you need to get me out of here,
right this second.
I can't. Not now. I'm sorry.
We don't have time.
The guards are going to be here
any minute.
- No. I don't care. I'll handle the guards.
- Diana.
- Get me out of here.
- No.
- Trust me.
- I do trust you, Edo.
- But I'm going to die in here.
- No.
My father's too focused
on the German half of the weapon.
If he wanted to kill you,
he already would have.
You're wrong. They'll keep me here
so they can interrogate me,
and kill me once they're done.
Or maybe that's what I should hope for.
Why?
The prisoner in the cell next to us.
Recognize him?
No.
Should I?
He's a Citadel agent,
the one who killed your brother.
I thought he was dead this whole time.
[scoffs]
That piece of shit told me he died.
Just gonna stare at me?
[Matteo] I'm only following orders.
Of course, that's what you do best.
Ultimately, everyone's obeying someone.
Even you.
Although you do try hard
to make it look like you aren't.
I don't obey.
And look how well that turned out.
[system beeping]
You gonna throw me in prison too, Father?
I'd have no problem with that
if you go against my authority again.
How about torturing me?
For eight years.
You can leave us.
[door opens]
You said that he was dead.
What's your point?
The point is you lied to me.
You keep on lying.
The point is we
don't torture people, Father.
No?
And what is it we should do then? Tell me.
Enlighten me, please.
What should we do
when someone isn't talking?
According to you?
- It's one thing when
- Oh, "it's one thing."
You're a hypocrite.
You can't admit to yourself
what you really do for a living.
We sell weapons, Edoardo.
Most of them were invented by you.
That man got exactly what he deserved.
I didn't tell you because I don't like
to talk about that day.
I just needed to do something
to feel better.
I get it.
It wasn't the right thing to do, but
I don't blame you.
I've also bought into my own bullshit.
I tried to fill his shoes knowing
I'd never be able to take his place.
- [beeps]
- [door closes]
- Open it, you've made your point.
- No, Father, we're talking.
- Not about Enrico.
- Then we'll talk about Manticore.
I think you're right, Father.
There's no room for hypocrisy.
But we don't have time to keep acting
so cautiously.
What we have to do now
is attack Manticore France,
and take the other half of the weapon
so we can call the shots.
I didn't start a war
when we were at full force.
Now I should after we're decimated?
- 3-0-8 had an idea.
- 'Course she did. Open this door.
Just hear her out, Father.
This is your last chance to get back
all the power that you let slip away.
Honor the memory of Enrico.
The right way.
[beeping]
- [door opens]
- In any case, she'll end up dead.
[door opens]
They liked the plan.
- Wasn't I supposed go in and present it?
- I did it for you.
[German] Your proposal's
very interesting, Edoardo.
Thanks.
[French] I told your father
you're brilliant.
- [Edo chuckles]
- [Ettore] He's a Zani.
[English] We should go.
I'll say bye to Cecile.
You all right?
Why'd your mother call you
into the meeting?
She wanted me to learn.
I'm going to be involved, from now on.
I need to be ready.
You mean she's getting worse?
She doesn't have long.
But she's thinking about the future.
She won't give up the fight,
even with all the tension today.
What tension?
What were they saying in there?
You can't tell me. Okay.
Let's talk about something else.
[French] I can't do this with you anymore.
[English] You can't do what anymore?
Edo, please
No, Cecile, talk to me.
Things are moving so fast now.
My mother is sick
and Manticore's plans are so big.
It's more ambitious than I ever imagined.
I need to figure out
how to handle this responsibility.
Yes, but we can figure it out together.
I want to be with you, support you.
[Cecile exhales]
[French] Edo, you're not an heir.
[scoffs]
[English] And so what?
Leaving me is your first mission?
We're the founders' children.
You know that.
And Manticore always comes first.
Yes, I know,
but I thought we loved each other.
[exhales] We do.
Hey. You'll be fine.
[reporter on TV] Now,
the Prime Minister announced yesterday
that he will indefinitely delay
his plans to leave the country
[Enrico] My brother's a genius!
I heard your project went over well.
I don't give a fuck, Enrico.
Cecile ended things.
Just like that, out of nowhere?
Out of nowhere for me.
But not for them.
Them?
Marianne is preparing for the succession.
It's ridiculous.
Because I know Cecile.
She isn't ready for this yet.
[phone beeps]
It's crazy to me
that she'll be running things
right alongside Father and Klein.
You always knew it was gonna happen.
No. It was Klein who added the condition
that we had to separate.
- He's worried he'll lose power.
- Makes sense, Edo.
- Whose side are you even on?
- On yours.
Always. But I understand
where he's coming from.
Your relationship with her
was gonna throw things off balance.
You know I love you,
and I'm sorry you got your heart broken,
but we have to think
about our own interests here.
[reporter] Horrific reports
are coming in from our sources
The good of Manticore
- [reporter] All we can definitively say
- must always come first.
[reporter] is that
within the last few minutes
BREAKING NEWS
ATTACK ON THE MILAN CATHEDRAL
[reporter] a large, violent explosion
erupted from inside the Duomo in Milan.
Oh, God.
[reporter] We fully understand
the gravity of this emerging situation,
which, as I said,
we're still trying to verify in real time.
But, unfortunately, it does appear that
- This wasn't us, right?
- Edo.
[reporter] the reports
of this terrible tragedy,
and the images currently on-screen,
are indeed authentic.
Tell me that we had nothing
to do with this.
[reporter] In a few minutes,
we should be able to connect
with our correspondent in Milan
I know it's atrocious.
But there's a reason.
[Edo] A reason?
Explain what fucking reason you had
to destroy the Duomo.
We had to divert the eyes of the world
to be free to make our move.
[reporter] images that are leaving us
all truly speechless.
The families have received
the complete list of their agents
all around the world.
The bases, addresses.
We're launching a coordinated
global strike.
Today, we wipe out Citadel.
We had to create a significant diversion.
That's what this is for?
You're going to call killing
hundreds of innocent people a diversion?
We're not terrorists!
- For you to just somehow
- We know that.
We know that you have
only the best of intentions, Edoardo.
But there was no other way.
This is war, whether you like it or not.
Years ago, someone wiser than me
told me that, "If you try to avoid war
you'll never have peace."
Real peace.
That is our destiny.
You'll understand it one day.
We're attacking today.
And I'm the one
who'll be leading the mission.
- Why you?
- [Enrico] Don't worry, I asked to do it.
Trust me, I'm ready for this.
[Julia] I don't like this.
[Ettore] It's important for an heir
to prove himself.
I have to go.
[reporter] I believe
we're just now getting an update.
The prime minister
is about to enter a meeting
Enrico.
Enrico.
[reporter] It is expected that,
shortly thereafter
It's not our job to be on the front line.
Edo, don't worry, I want to be there.
Now wish me luck.
I have nothing to say to you.
[door opens]
Mr. Zani.
It's an honor, sir,
and I wish that we were meeting
under better circumstances, but
You have one minute.
It's true, what they said.
I went against orders,
sabotaged the exchange
between France and G
Tell me something I don't know.
What do you want?
I want you to turn me over
to Manticore France, sir.
The head of the family
will want me to answer for my actions.
- You'll be executed in France.
- And in here.
How does dying in Paris benefit you
besides the scenery?
[scoffs] Maybe it doesn't.
But if I can get in there,
and pull off the plan I have in my head
and get out alive, then,
maybe I can change the opinion
you have of me.
You have 15 seconds to tell me
about this plan.
You have the half of the weapon
you already took from Germany,
so you need an excuse
to make it into France's headquarters
and steal the real half
they kept from you.
You can use me.
Explain.
Use me as your Trojan Horse.
Do you realize
what our idealistic son has done?
The one who wants to purify Manticore?
He made the locks and kept the master key.
Are you angry
because you didn't know about it?
Or, because he's turned out
to be more capable than you realized?
The fact is
I have to make a tough decision.
Today.
We have a real opportunity. Right now.
If we act on it, then we'll be able
to restore balance in Europe.
And get back everything
that was once ours.
It's too good a thing to pass up.
Exactly.
And the risks are?
Many. Maybe too many.
Because Edo would be inside
a Trojan horse.
Explain why?
The master key he created is extremely
extremely advanced.
The technology is linked
to his biometric data,
and only works if he's there.
Well, there's nothing to talk about then.
Our son is not going to risk his life
helping Manticore.
You made a promise.
I'll arrange to meet
with the other founders
so we can get things straightened out
and then be done with it.
[German] Together in the same room
yet again.
I hope there's a point.
It isn't pleasant.
[English] It will be useful.
I look at you and imagine
your distrust, your fear.
You don't need to imagine them, Ettore.
They're real.
They exist because I was the first one to
undermine the foundations of our alliance.
I was the first one, eight years ago,
to bring in the apple of discord.
And now those seeds have taken root.
And spread amongst you two,
creating even more lies and conflict.
But I'm here today to put things right.
As you know now, I'm the only one
to have both halves of the weapon.
I want to give them back.
Now that you could dominate us?
Now that I could, I don't want to.
We'll all have the same weapon,
we'll be equally strong.
And I'll give you, Cecile,
the person who is responsible
for killing your agent.
Let's settle our differences and move on.
Like one large happy family.
This is no time to play games, Ettore.
What's the catch?
- There isn't one.
- You must want something in return.
Equality among the agencies.
No more sanctions.
Manticore Italy once again counts
as much as you do.
The three of us, equals, at peace.
Let's take Manticore back to the ideas
that united us 13 years ago,
along with the other families.
And let's stop fighting amongst ourselves.
I'm in.
All right.
Now
Tell me everything about the weapon.
We all need to know
what we're dealing with
when the two halves of the apple
are brought together.
[captivating music playing]
Wolfgang.
[German] The French half of the weapon
is a fake.
Cecile wanted to screw you over.
What? What do you mean?
[Diana grunting]
[doors close]
[engine starts]
Giada.
Where are you taking me?
I promised Cecile
that I would bring her the prisoner
along with the completed weapon.
You still want to lead the mission?
- With your little trick.
- I do.
You had a change of heart,
I'm happy to see that.
If we get the weapon,
it could be the key to achieving
our larger objective.
- What? To destroy the world?
- No.
To control the world.
Which I know you want, same as I do.
[chuckles]
Good.
But never lie to me again.
You either.
The only thing that's left now
is to figure out Diana,
and how we're going to get her out.
3-0-8 could be killed.
She's aware, and you must be, too.
Okay.
Edo.
I promised your mother
that I wouldn't involve you.
If something were to happen to you,
she'd never forgive me.
I would never forgive me.
Then I'll see that it doesn't.
[sobs]
8 YEARS EARLIER
[melancholy music playing]
No!
[sobs]
Matteo.
Who did this?
Give me a minute with 3-0-8.
Are you all right?
Yeah.
You know, it's really good see you again.
Now we have to try and keep you alive
in Paris, too.
I'd appreciate that.
[Edo] Today, we will take back
the future of Manticore Italy.
No one is getting left behind.
This is the most dangerous mission
most of us have ever been on.
IN THE NEXT EPISODE
Agent 3-0-8
is at the disposal of Manticore France.
[Cecile] Edoardo.
I hope that this can be a fresh start
for us all.
- Well, go on.
- Edo Zani is double-crossing you.
- [Matteo] We don't have a lot of time.
- I told you, she'll do it.
[Matteo] It's up to her now.
[soft music playing]
