Nikita s02e13 Episode Script

Previously on Nikita I may have a lead on Nikita.
Oversight is thinking about executing "Clean Sweep".
What the hell is that? Years ago, when Percy created Division, Oversight insisted he build in a fail-safe.
There's a tanker of VX gas tapped into Division's ventilation system.
pulls the trigger, the place will be a mass grave.
Why is Oversight doing this? Thanks to you, Division has become expendable.
You're planning an escape, which we both know is impossible.
There is no way out of here.
No way that you can see.
But you will.
We have to get out of here, now.
On your knees! I take my orders from the same man I always have.
That's one of the Guardians.
That's why they were gathering, their target was Oversight.
Percy.
2x13: "Clean Sweep" Release Percy, or you eliminate the members of Oversight.
That's correct.
Sounds good to me.
Keep listening.
Failure to comply will result in the activation of Clean Sweep.
Which means now it won't take me more than 30 seconds to launch the program.
If you attempt evacuation, we trigger it immediately.
How would they know if she evac'd? Roan.
Percy's got him on the inside.
Guys, shh.
And everyone inside your facility dies.
Percy will give you instructions for the next step.
There's a flaw in your plan.
Really? If Clean Sweep releases VX gas through the facility, everyone dies, including you.
I can live with that.
The captain goes down with the ship.
Percy's bluffing.
He's not.
My mother told me Clean Sweep could be activated from anywhere.
Yeah, but it can be deactivated from the ventilation control.
Percy would have thought of that.
Get me an E.
O.
D.
unit down here, right away.
I need to get through this door.
There has to be a way to stop this.
There is.
Kill the Guardian, grab the trigger.
Whoa, what are we talking about here, saving Division? It's saving lives.
Yeah, lives that are trying to kill us.
You want to save them so they can keep trying to kill us? It's not about saving Division, Birkhoff.
It's about ending this.
Our way, not Percy's.
We're gonna need directions to Oversight.
I'll tell you on the way there.
You tried to kill us, what makes you think you're along for the ride? I was just trying to protect my family.
Still am.
Sean, we're going out there to save her.
Well then you'll need a lot more than just her location.
You'll need a tactical breakdown of the perimeter and the interior.
You need me there.
You're holding four prominent Americans at gunpoint, right now, no one knows.
The second you touch the trigger, you create national news, and a nationwide manhunt.
Think about it.
Oh, I appreciate your concern, but Percy's got a plan.
Was it Percy's plan to end up in a cell? No.
He was betrayed.
Like hell.
Percy's the traitor.
He sold out his country, and one day, he's going to sell you out, only you're too stupid to see it.
Ah, oh.
Anyone else got a salient point they'd like to share? It'll take Phelps' team two hours to dismantle that bomb.
You haven't got that long.
I won't give you Division.
You say that as though you had a choice.
I'll let you go.
In exchange for the Clean Sweep trigger.
Go where? That would be your choice.
But if you try to return to Division, I'll have you shot on sight.
Hm.
You taught me a good negotiation is one in which both parties leave slightly disappointed.
You get to live, which is disappointing to me, I remain in control of Division, which is disappointing to you.
Queen of the understatement.
State it any way you like.
These are my terms.
Just the navigator.
No weapon, and you listen to everything we say.
You got a t-shirt I can borrow? No.
Birkhoff, please, think of a way to remotely deactivate the trigger.
I told you, I would have seen this system if it existed, okay, it's not enough just to pump gas in there, you have to close off the outside vents, shut down the elevators, all that takes power.
And I personally retailored the electrical grid when I Was there.
What? The old generator.
The emergency backup? No, no, no, the generator that used to power the missile base.
Can you hack it? The only way to shut that thing down is to cut the hard-line, up close and personal.
Well, we can't get in there.
I can.
Alex, that place is a gas chamber waiting to happen.
If I hadn't sent that bank transfer, the Guardians wouldn't be where they are right now.
I need to do this.
And I'm the only one who can.
Okay.
Alex heads to Division.
We head to Oversight.
Can I speak with you for a second? So that's two Guardians, Amanda, and one rogue Navy Seal.
That's a lot of variables for one mission.
At least we know what the variables are, right? Contact the safe house in Brighton Beach, put them on standby.
Thank you for coming down, sir.
What is it? I'm busy.
We've had some success tracking the Guardian we lost in Basel.
Spyder picked up on his image in Amsterdam, where he met with another man, whom we also believe to be one of Percy's Guardians.
Do you believe they have the Black Boxes with them? I assume so.
The two men traveled to Brussels via rail, where they chartered a private jet to Newark International.
I've yet to pinpoint their current location, but I would like to retask the team assigned to hunting for Alexandra and put them on the trail.
So, now, Black Boxes are more important than Alexandra? They both hold secrets about you, sir, secrets we want to destroy.
Just make sure that your team hits their mark this time.
Your master and I have reached a new agreement.
There'll be no new agreement.
Talk to him yourself.
Hold your position.
I'm coming to you.
Those were the perimeter guards.
Well, it's definitely the right place.
Used to be a safe house during the Revolutionary War.
and at least one point of egress on every side.
Is our line still open? Keep moving.
Sounds like they're moving the hostages.
Everyone take a seat.
Make yourself comfortable.
Or not.
Why are you moving us into the study? Sit down.
I'm going in.
No, wait, whoa, whoa.
There are two chemically enhanced killers in there who can hear a pin drop.
If we go in hot, they will hear, and that means everyone in that house and Division will die.
Sean, we have to be careful.
Clear the perimeter, set up two long-distance shots.
They're the only ones we're going to get.
It will be faster if we split up.
No.
We do the sweep together.
You know, this would be a lot easier if you just trusted me.
It's not about trust, it's about making sure you've got this down.
Okay, this ain't like plugging in a toaster.
Now one more time, once you get down into the silo, what are you gonna do? I hit up the generator access panel, I plug your phone in, and your program drains the power.
Right.
Now keep in mind, this thing has a three-phase transformer with a four-wire output, okay? The gray wires Are you listening to me? Yeah, it's all on your magic phone, right? Just trying to give you some context.
Here.
This should get you around the internal scramblers.
You know, if I'd had this last year, I wouldn't have had to use that shell program.
Have fun storming the castle.
By the way, what the hell are you going to tell Amanda? Exactly what she wants to hear.
I will confirm our arrival once we reach the rendez-vous.
Actually, Lawrence will.
I want you on base, monitoring the perimeter, in case there are any more surprises waiting for us.
I'll be tracking the escort team, but I want verbal updates every 15 minutes confirming your status.
He may try to talk to you, or convince you, manipulate you.
As long as you know that everything out of his mouth is a lie.
I will miss you.
Percy's on the move.
I had to meet him halfway.
I'm more concerned about the problem inside Division.
We have a saboteur.
Something's moving.
We gotta stop him.
They're going to hear.
Why didn't you shoot him? I wanted to, make it look like the guard did it, but It's a different caliber gun.
The Guardian inside would have heard and shot everyone else.
No way.
You think I wanted to let him die? You don't know me.
Lawrence, at this pace we have you arriving at the gates house in approximately 30 minutes.
Does that match your estimate? Affirmative.
I want a progress report from Phelps.
We're looking at four detonator cords, all rigged to an electrical housing unit.
I'm guessing we'll need to open this thing up first before we can disable the fuses.
No guesses, just results.
I'm picking up a bogey on our thermal image scanners, approaching the northern external perimeter.
I have Alexandra Udinov at the northeast gate.
She's requesting entry.
Bring her in.
Eric Lawrence.
You were looking at for smashing a man's head against a telephone pole until his neck snapped.
Granted, he did rape your sister.
But there was no material evidence that would have led to an appeal.
And then I stepped in.
Got you out, gave you back your life.
Taught you how to fight for freedom.
Now look at you.
Benjamin greenwood.
Got you out of an institution for the criminally insane.
Adrian Paticki.
Wrongfully sentenced, but on death row.
I saved all your lives, which is why it pains me that you would demonstrate more loyalty to Amanda than you would to me.
I was beginning to wonder if I'd ever hear from you again.
I know.
I have a lot to explain.
I know you went into Russia, Alex.
I warned you about attacking Semak without my help, before you were ready.
I know.
You're lucky you survived.
I know.
How did you make it out? It couldn't have been easy.
I got in on my own, and I got out the same way.
Hm.
But you were right about Semak.
It was too much for me to handle on my own.
Especially because of what I found there.
Please, tell me you didn't know.
Know what? My mother, Katya.
She's alive.
I don't understand.
Semak must have made a deal with Percy.
He's the only reason I'm back.
I don't care if I have to torture it out of him, I want to know why he lied to me.
I'm afraid that's going to be difficult right now.
I just wish I had more time to convince you that what you're doing is wrong.
It just doesn't seem fair.
Oh, well.
There's something wrong.
How close are we? We've interrupted the electrical current of the detonator hub, but we still need to make sure there aren't any tilt vibration switches before we move anything.
Time is not a luxury you have, take too long and you might not live to see tomorrow.
How the hell did Percy get a weapon? Percy has a silent partner inside Division.
Right now, roan is my prime suspect.
That would be a good guess.
I've been following his movements.
But I'm concerned he may be collaborating with others.
In fact, the only person I know he's not working with is you.
You've been away.
Do me a favor.
Keep an eye on him, report back to me.
Once I know who he's working with, I intend to drown him in a pool of his own acid.
Hey, it's me, we have a problem.
With the generator? With Percy.
He was on his way to you, and he took out the Alpha team that was escorting him.
Where is he now? He disabled the vehicle tracker.
What are you gonna do? You just focus on your objective.
Now that Amanda's lost her leverage over Percy, nothing's going to stop him from hitting that trigger.
Alex, you are our best shot at stopping Clean Sweep.
Enjoying the countryside? Eh, the ragweed, doesn't agree with me.
Take an allergy pill.
Roan's gun came in handy.
What about the hostages? Tell them to sit tight.
I can't wait to see them.
I've spent my life in the military.
I understand what it is to be beholden to your C.
O.
that sense of duty, obeying the orders, following them into the jaws of death.
But you don't have to get caught up in this war, you have options.
If you had a little money in your pocket, more than a little, you wouldn't have to answer to Percy anymore.
According to local news reports, a small recreational plane crashed just outside of Saratoga National Park.
The pilot, one Darren smalls, had just signed up two passengers for skydiving, but only his body was recovered from the wreckage.
The names of the passengers match the names on the fake passports used by the Guardians.
You believe they jumped out of this plane? Where could they be headed? The only structure of note within a 20 kilometer radius of the crash, is an old historical landmark, the gates house.
Satellite imagery of the location reveals several vehicles outside.
I think they're there right now.
Is the team on their way? En route as we speak.
You sure we shouldn't be wearing bomb suits? This thing goes off in this corridor, concussion alone would turn us into jelly.
Plus, the suit makes my hands sweat.
One down, three to go.
I'm going to head up, grab some magnetized soldering wire.
Hi, Percy.
You, here.
What are the odds? Tell your Guardians to give up the Clean Sweep trigger, and Oversight, and you may get out of here alive.
Michael, I see you're embracing the whole "rebel without a cause" motif, right down to the hairstyle.
Can I shoot him now? Not yet.
I crashed your little "Guardian party" in Amsterdam.
The boxes are gone, along with your insurance policy.
How do you think we got here? We followed your boys.
Even if that were the case, the Guardians have been given strict instructions to pull the trigger and gas Division if anything happens to me.
I'm in, I'm headed to the silo.
Five by five.
Did Amanda give you any trouble? No, she's all freaked out about Percy and roan.
She asked me to go spy on him.
But you're blowing her off, right? Yup.
What are you doing down here? Oh, no, that's not good.
I was actually looking for you.
I know you were there the night Division raided my family's home.
You said "mother down", confirming your kill.
But she wasn't dead, was she? You used a tranquilizer, a little special side mission for Percy.
I want to know the truth about what happened on that night.
That's not why you're here.
Well then, why the hell are you here? Oh, just sabotaging Division.
Special little side mission for Percy.
Phelps, is that you? I feel like I've landed in an alternate universe.
You, fighting to save Division.
I don't expect you to understand me, Percy.
I understood your quest for vengeance, retribution for your fiance.
Do you two talk much about Daniel? Must be a little awkward, since you knew about the kill order and didn't warn her.
If you think anyone's going to believe your lies, you're wrong.
Owen told me the truth about Daniel.
But does Michael know the truth about you and Owen? See, that's the look that tells me everything I need to know.
The crack in the foundation.
I don't blame you.
She lured you in with the promise of regaining everything that you'd lost.
Next thing you know, you're knee-deep in Nikita's war with no end in sight.
That's funny.
I see an end in sight, right here.
Such a commanding presence.
It's like she's leading the new crusades.
So many people willing to lay down their lives for you.
Like that poor fool over there.
Sean Pierce.
That's a hell of a get.
I can still see your pimply face on the family Christmas cards.
Looks like the Navy made a real man out of you.
You're here for senator Madeline.
Mommy.
Uh-uh.
If I don't answer it, Patrick will wonder what's happened to me.
And if he thinks anything's gone wrong I have Percy.
Give me the trigger and release the hostages, or he dies.
How do I know he's not dead already? Tell them our demands.
Kill them all but Madeline.
Son of a bitch! I think we both know, they had it coming.
And now that Oversight's out of the way, I'm willing to negotiate.
I'll give you senator Pierce, if you let me go with the trigger.
Sean.
Cover him.
We can't go along with this.
We have to.
Giving him the trigger? If Alex kills the power on site, we're in the clear.
He doesn't know about her, Michael.
Birkhoff, are you there? Holy crap, you're alive.
I thought the Terminator got you.
He's still after me.
Okay, Birkhoff, I'm at the control panel.
Okay, great.
Get my phone out.
I lost the phone.
Without the program It's okay, we can do it manually.
It's simple, it's like unplugging a toaster.
I thought you said I know, I was just being me.
I'll walk you through it.
You've become a world-class operative, Nikita.
I just hope someday you stop trying to run from who you really are.
I'm in your blood, for better or worse.
Shut up, before I change my mind about blowing your head off.
Clear! We have unidentified agents approaching from the east.
Farewell.
We're experiencing a power outage.
Elevators and main hydraulic lifts are stalled.
Scanning for remote exploits.
The first wire you're looking for is red.
Yeah, I see it.
Russian.
Gogol must have been tracking Patrick.
They're trying to take Sean's position.
- Cover me.
- Negative! Get inside the house.
Gogol agents might be inside already.
You have to get her out.
I'll stay and cover him.
Let's go! Okay, I've got the blue one.
Okay, great, you've got one more left.
It's the black one connected to the transformer.
That'll cancel the override.
Got it.
Good, now get the hell out of there.
Where's Sean? He's outside.
And you're welcome.
Behind you.
- Are you okay? - Yes.
Yeah, I'm fine.
Thank you.
This is Admiral Winnick of Southern Command.
Yes, he was.
This is Amanda.
Confirm Division survived.
Senator, are you all right? Yes.
Percy and his men left.
And Clean Sweep, has it been Averted.
Percy must have lost control of the trigger, or perhaps it was destroyed.
Whatever the case, I've made sure Clean Sweep will never threaten Division again.
Shall I send escorts for you and the others? It's just me.
That's unfortunate.
We'll get to work on a cover story right away, to explain their deaths.
Most likely the act of a deranged domestic terrorist.
Yes.
Make sure it looks as though they died heroes.
And once things settle down, we need to discuss how to proceed with Division.
Needless to say, after recent events, a low profile is in order.
Absolutely.
We'll discuss it next week in Washington.
It's probably best to keep communications to a minimum.
As you say, we should all keep our heads down.
Amanda.
After all, we wouldn't want to risk setting off any flags with your colleagues in D.
C.
But I promise, Division will stay strong and alert.
Good-bye.
What's wrong? It's Amanda.
I've lost control of her.
Division's still standing.
Clean Sweep failed.
That's good.
Leaves us some options.
Let's get moving.
How did you Roan.
Ah.
I take it you lost him.
I survived him.
You were right.
He was Percy's inside man.
And now he's gone.
As is Percy.
What about you, Alex? Where will you go now? I don't know.
Semak is still out there.
So is my mother.
And she's with him.
Alex, believe it or not, I still want to help you.
Why? So you can get a foothold in Zetrov? Not interested.
You should be.
You threaten the hold Semak has on his empire.
That's why he fears you.
Alexandra Udinov's existence has the potential to shatter his world.
Too bad the world thinks Alexandra Udinov is dead.
But what if they were to learn the truth? If Division's truly gone rogue, you have no choice.
You have to contact the CIA.
Yeah, what are they going to do? Send in the marines? Division's an army.
You're going to have a war on your hands.
She's right.
Enough people have died.
It's funny.
You seem to be so concerned about the body count now.
Didn't bother you when you were sanctioning all those hits.
They were necessary.
Oh, I'm sure it seemed necessary in this room.
But I was the one who had to pull the trigger.
You were a soldier.
I was a killer.
You're right.
I don't know what it's like.
You had to live in Division, I didn't.
Which is why you're the only one who can take it down without exposing it to the public.
I hate to say it, but she has a point.
Exposing Division is just as bad as releasing the Black Boxes.
This is the person who put a target on our backs.
What if I could fix that? Clear your names.
A presidential pardon.
No.
If you reveal your part in this to the president, you'll go to prison.
No.
I would receive immunity for my silence.
What do you say? I thought today was going to be the day it all ended.
It might not have worked out that way, but this is the first time I can see a real light at the end of the tunnel, for all of us.
We're almost there.
Of course, Percy's still a problem, when is he not? He's down to roan and one Guardian, thanks to your hit squad.
Then I guess their timing was perfect.
How can I repay you? Oh, I can think of a few ways.
Time for that later, we still have business to discuss.
My superiors are no longer an issue.
Yes, we still have my boss to contend with.
Well the good news on that front is that I think Alexandra may be ready to make her return.
And Nikita? I have a future planned for her too.
It's considerably shorter.
