Citadel: Diana (2024) s01e05 Episode Script
Attack
[Diana] The prisoner
in the cell next to us
He's a Citadel agent,
the one who killed your brother.
PREVIOUSLY ON
Today, we wipe out Citadel.
And I'm the one
who will be leading the mission.
Trust me, I'm ready for this.
Matteo.
[crying]
[Edo] 3-0-8 had an idea.
This is your last chance to get back
all the power that you let slip away.
[Ettore] What do you want?
I want you to turn me over
to Manticore France.
Use me as your Trojan horse.
Let's stop fighting amongst ourselves.
All right.
I promised Cecile
that I would bring her the prisoner
along with the completed weapon.
You still wanna lead the mission?
I do.
[airplane whirring]
[Edo] We're risking a lot today.
This is the most dangerous mission
most of us have ever been on.
For me, it certainly is.
They have superior numbers on their side,
as well as the home-field advantage.
But, we have a plan.
One of our best agents is putting herself
behind enemy lines to help us.
Thanks to her courage,
I know we will succeed.
Today, we're gonna make history.
Today, we'll be taking back
the future of Manticore Italy.
8 YEARS EARLIER
Nervous, huh?
A little.
[Enrico] That's normal.
We're going all in today.
We're gonna bring down Citadel.
Manticore has the location of every
single Citadel agent in the world.
The founders are about to launch
a simultaneous attack
that's gonna take them out for good.
In a matter of hours,
Citadel will be wiped off
the face of the earth.
Thought that'd be news you wanted to hear.
It is.
We just still have to win.
We're going to.
[Matteo] Twelve minutes out, Enrico.
[breathing heavily]
[soldier] Welcome.
Please leave your weapons here.
[Edo speaking French] No problem.
We come in peace.

MANTICORE FRANCE
HEADQUARTERS
[French] Agent 3-0-8 is now
in the custody of Manticore France.
[warbling]
Cecile.
[English] Edoardo.
It's a pleasure to see you again.
As the head of Manticore France,
I appreciate you bringing her.
It's only right.
She killed one of your agents.
And I hope
that this can be a fresh start for us all.
I appreciate you coming in person, too.
I know our agencies
have lost trust in each other.
Maybe now we can start
to rebuild it together.
I would like that.
But as my father mentioned in Switzerland,
that can only happen
if we're on equal footing.
Yes, absolutely.
And Italy has already been reinstated
to the European Council.
And soon we'll end all sanctions.
We just need to cut through the
right tape.
Wonderful.
We'll give you the German half
once those safeguards go into effect.
And Klein can have the French half.
Then everyone has all the pieces.
And we can each build the full weapon.
[French] Perfect.
Ah.
[English] Here's your half of the weapon,
returned safely.
It was never our intention
to steal from you.
Thank you.
So it seems like
we're heading towards a new era of peace.
It's been nice seeing you again.
I mean that.
[French] Goodbye.
[Cecile] Goodbye, Edo.
[suspenseful music playing]
ONGOING ANALYSIS
[door closes]
[French] Once we have the German half,
what will we do with the Zanis and Klein?
We'll increase sanctions against Italy
and lower Klein to their level.
[chuckles]
If your mother could see you
Edo will never forgive me.
He made his choice,
- he couldn't think that you
- [beeping]
Turn up the volume
from the detention cell.
[Diana] Listen to me, please.
[English] I know someone can hear this.
There's something I need to say
to the head of the family.
I need to talk to her, right now.
Time is running out.
The Zanis are lying,
they're trying to trick you.
The Zani's know everything
Don't waste any more time.
You can't let them get on that plane.
It's up to her now.
And that makes me very nervous.
She's got this.
Have a little faith.
We don't have a lot of time.
I told you, have faith.
[door whirring]
[French] I'm listening,
what do you have to tell me?
Edo Zani
[English] He's double-crossing you.
Details.
They figured out
that the half of the weapon
you gave to Germany was defective.
And that you're the only one
who can build the whole thing.
How long have they known?
Since before you met in Switzerland.
And they told Klein
to get him to turn against you.
They talk about peace.
But they want to start a war with you.
And why are you telling me all this?
Because I want to live.
Right now my best shot's with you.
So you're saying I should hire a traitor?
[Diana] Hmm.
That was just a sample of what I know.
There's a lot more.
Anything you want, I know.
[door closes]
[suspenseful music playing]

[Enrico] Move in!

The technology center's back there.

[Luca] Diana! Diana!
[groans] Fuck!

[Diana breathing heavily]
[gunfire in distance]
[breathing deeply]
[soldier] You can take your weapons back.
[man on radio speaking indistinctly]
[French] Copy that. Halt!
[English] Small change of plans.
You're gonna follow us.
[French] Why?
[English] Just get in the vehicle, sir.
And order your people to do the same.
[French] Are you impeding the departure
of a sister agency's leader?
[English] I won't hesitate to shoot you
if you don't get back in the van.
Edoardo Zani's now in our custody.
[French] Really?
Follow me.
[English] There's no point in resisting.
[suspenseful music playing]
[breathing heavily]
[gunfire in distance]
[beeping]
There we go. Come on.
Don't yell.
I'm one of you.
How do I know you're not lying?
Because I didn't kill you.
I didn't know we had a double agent.
- Well, you do now.
- [gunfire in distance]
We're out of time.
Tell me
what you're trying to do with this.
Make sure it's all destroyed.
[breathing heavily]
[exhaling]
[Andrea] Once it's above
41 degrees Celsius,
the system becomes unstable
and melts down.
[Diana] What are we destroying?
[Andrea] The work of a lifetime,
but this weapon
cannot fall into their hands.
We have to prevent that at all costs.

You first.
Could you try being direct
for once, Cecile? Give it a shot.
Fine. I'll be direct.
Your agent wanted to talk to me.
She's not my agent.
3-0-8's your prisoner.
She said Klein's aware of the defect
and he learned it from you,
so both of you would be against me.
[French] So, Mr. Zani, are we at war?
[English] You're the ones
who started the war.
You chose to screw us all over, Cecile.
It's a shame.

It's protocol, you can't take risks.

Hello, Father. Had dinner yet?

Um, the filet mignon, rare,
and the French half, s'il vous plait.
What will that run me?
I get to be head of the family with you.
Expensive.
Better be a good steak.
Do you think sharing power with me
is too steep of a price?
I've certainly paid higher.
I'll stop by tomorrow.
I'm sure we'll come to an agreement.

Meet Adele, come soon,

[sentimental music playing]
[crying]
[sniffles]
We try to lead these exceptional lives
every single day.
But in the end, all we really want
is someone there, waiting for us at home.
And to be able to look in the mirror
ideally, without having killed anyone.
That was your job.
You can't blame yourself.
I don't think it's something
that I could list on my resume.
[chuckles]
You're so much stronger
than you think, Diana.
[Diana] Mmm.
Yeah, people have been telling me that
my entire life.
But strength isn't what I want.
I just want freedom.
To be free in a free world?
Or free in a world
that's unjust?
[Diana] Mm.
I don't think
we'll be able to change that.
Not really.
Now that I have the weapon,
that we have the weapon,
things can be better.
We'll finally be able to turn Manticore
into the agency they promised us.
We can turn it into something good.
I don't think that anymore.
Go check your phone.
Why?
Bring it over.
- Bring it here.
- [Diana chuckling]
Twenty million.
Okay. [chuckles]
It's your passport back to a normal life.
Your identity will be erased
from Manticore's system.
To us, you'll no longer exist.
No one'll come looking for you.
[clears throat] There's your freedom.
- [chuckles]
- You can do whatever you want now.
Including staying.
Think about it.
There's nothing to think about.
I just want to disappear.
Diana
You and I have been given an opportunity
to change the world.
Then we can disappear.
[Matteo] The attack
was a success across the world.
Citadel is no more.
But no one else knows what we found,
not even our sister agencies.
And we need to keep it that way.
That's an order
from the head of the family.
Is that clear?
[tense music playing]
[Gabriele] If there's one thing
that brings me hope,
it's knowing you're still there.
You're the only one behind enemy lines.
IN THE NEXT EPISODE
[Ettore] Edoardo, you have real power now.
- You're just like me.
- No.
I want more.
I don't like that girl.
At this point,
there's nothing more you can do for her.
There's so many things
that I have to learn about you still.

ideally, without having killed anyone.
That was your job.
You can't blame yourself.
I don't think it's something
that I could list on my resume.
[chuckles]
You're so much stronger
than you think, Diana.
[Diana] Mmm.
Yeah, people have been telling me that
my entire life.
But strength isn't what I want.
I just want freedom.
To be free in a free world?
Or free in a world
that's unjust?
[Diana] Mm.
I don't think
we'll be able to change that.
Not really.
Now that I have the weapon,
that we have the weapon,
things can be better.
We'll finally be able to turn Manticore
into the agency they promised us.
We can turn it into something good.
I don't think that anymore.
Go check your phone.
Why?
Bring it over.
- Bring it here.
- [Diana chuckling]
Twenty million.
Okay. [chuckles]
It's your passport back to a normal life.
Your identity will be erased
from Manticore's system.
To us, you'll no longer exist.
No one'll come looking for you.
[clears throat] There's your freedom.
- [chuckles]
- You can do whatever you want now.
Including staying.
Think about it.
There's nothing to think about.
I just want to disappear.
Diana
You and I have been given an opportunity
to change the world.
Then we can disappear.
[Matteo] The attack
was a success across the world.
Citadel is no more.
But no one else knows what we found,
not even our sister agencies.
And we need to keep it that way.
That's an order
from the head of the family.
Is that clear?
[tense music playing]
[Gabriele] If there's one thing
that brings me hope,
it's knowing you're still there.
You're the only one behind enemy lines.
IN THE NEXT EPISODE
[Ettore] Edoardo, you have real power now.
- You're just like me.
- No.
I want more.
I don't like that girl.
At this point,
there's nothing more you can do for her.
There's so many things
that I have to learn about you still.
[gun cocking]
