Nikita s03e02 Episode Script

Right there, freeze! Six minutes.
That's not bad.
So beautiful.
He's right.
I'm a size five.
Pave settings can be pretty tricky.
We can resize it, but I'll need to keep it for a couple of days.
Oh.
Don't worry, dear.
I've been doing this for 30 years.
I've never had a problem.
Of course.
There you go.
You'll get the hang of it.
The hang of-- Getting is sized and resized.
Once you're pregnant, those pretty hands will swell up, and you'll bring it in to me and we'll size it up.
And then you'll be back, after the baby weight.
Um, she just got engaged.
Oh, believe me, time flies.
I can hardly remember my marriage before children.
Thank you, dear.
Thank you.
What was that? Some poor girl's mother-in-law.
Oh, I mean, it's not like you're thinking about that yet.
Or ever.
Ever? Alex, can you really see me as a mother? Yeah, I think you'd be great at whatever you choose to do.
Besides, it's not about what I picture.
It's about what you and Michael picture.
I'm picturing lunch.
You? All right, my treat, future Mrs.
-- what is Michael's real lt name anyway? Birkhoff, party time's over.
- Ryan's got new-- - What? Ryan's got New intel.
Oh, yeah? Is it top secret, like your engagement? Ah, come on, man.
What? I'm just sayin', when your obvious choice for best man gets left out of the loop, it raises issues.
What issues? Trust issues.
Like, did you not trust me to keep a secret? I didn't even know when I was gonna ask her.
You see, I could've assisted you in the planning phase.
That's my thing.
Are you seriously miffed that I didn't check with you first? No.
I'm mildly miffed you didn't check-in with me afterward.
I had to find out when I was deleting evidence files from the Hong Kong police.
Engagement ring among the line items.
We're not going to Ops? No.
See, this is what I'm talking about, man.
Wade.
He trained a lot of the agents here, right? I figured there may be conflicted loyalties.
Yeah, I wouldn't worry about that.
Everybody pretty much hated his guts.
He was, like, the drill sergeant from hell.
Yeah, I see Percy had him reassigned in '02.
No, not reassigned, replaced.
Wade was division's top trainer.
Every recruit under him had an almost perfect record of killing high profile targets.
- So what happened? - Like I said, almost perfect.
One of the recruits failed to complete his first kill mission, so Wade beat him to death with his bare hands.
Yeah.
Percy was like, "I do the canceling around here, thank you very much.
" He shipped the psycho out into the field, and replaced him with a sleeker, broodier model of trainer.
Well, the psycho lifted a prototype explosive from Fort Granville last night.
I think he's planning an attack.
RDX--experimental shape charge.
Not ready for field use because its polymer bonds degrade in 48 hours.
Up till then, it's a lethal explosive.
So he has only 48 hours to use 'em? And we have no clue where.
All we know is where Percy reassigned him-- Boston.
Cover was a travel agent.
Who even uses those anymore? Honeymooners.
Honeymoon packages, excellent.
Let me just get your info for our file.
Kenny and Jenny Braxton.
We should already be on file.
We spoke to someone before.
Who was that, hon? Ward? Wade? Wade? Oh, Wade.
Yeah, unfortunately he left the company last month.
But I can pick up right where he left off.
Ah.
Maybe our file is still on his computer? When he left, he erased his whole hard drive.
If he ever comes back in here, I am gonna give him a piece of my mind, believe me.
That's too bad.
Okay, so plan "B", copy machine.
Do you have a restroom here? Yeah, at the back there.
Great.
Thank you.
I'm at the copier.
Imageday 6600.
So on the main screen, hit menu, then load tray table.
When it pops out, lift it up and pull lever "C", should be the green lever.
Take a look at this.
Okay, then what? Then go ahead and get engaged without telling me about it.
Birkhoff, I didn't know Ryan was gonna tell Sonya first.
I didn't even know that Michael told Ryan.
Uhhuh.
Now imagine all my frustration at being the last to find out, and use that to pull the lever.
She goes, like, once a year.
- Really? - It's stunning, yeah.
Hard drive.
You're a genius, Birkhoff, a true genius.
It's gonna take a lot more kissing up than that.
Payment authorizations.
Do you recognize any names? Yeah, every Ruth and Gladys in America that never heard of Orbitz.
Fail, Wade, fail.
Teach all the Krav Maga you want, in my class, we learn copy machines have hard drives.
He must've used this credit card to make a reservation somewhere.
Better.
Online purchase links to an address in-- Lexington, Massachusetts.
Say hi for me.
Might wanna take a look at this.
Looks like some kinda weird training area.
No! It's okay.
It's okay.
We're not gonna hurt you.
What's your name? Where's Wade? I know who you are.
You're Division.
He prepared me for this day.
And if you don't let me go, he's gonna kill you all.
Original air date on October 26, 2012 Have you gotten her to talk? Not a word.
So what do you think? Doc says no sign of sexual abuse.
Physically, she's in good health.
And mentally? A severe case of dissociation, separation from her true emotional self.
It's one way of coping.
She had to be walled off to survive in there.
Could take months to recover.
Well, we've got less than 28 hours to find out what she knows.
Any lead on her identity? Her name's Liza Abbott.
She was kidnapped walking home from school two years ago.
We have to get her home.
She's got a point.
Wait, hold on.
We need to track down Wade and the RDX.
Right now, Liza is our only lead.
Her parents have been in the dark for two years.
Look, we will get her home safely after we find out what she knows about Wade.
I promise.
Okay, I'll talk to her.
We've got some common ground-- taken against her will, kept underground, forced to train-- She wasn't his captive, she was his recruit.
Hi, Liza.
I'm Nikita.
Look, we gotta talk.
This is a safe place.
You can tell me anything you want, anything at all and I'll listen.
You hungry? No.
I heard you say the word "Division.
" Does that mean anything to you? Because that's where we are right now, you know.
I know everything about this place.
Let's talk about your place, the place I found you.
How long has Wade been keeping you in his basement? You don't have to be afraid of him.
He can't get to you in here.
Okay.
You're right.
He does know this place very well.
Wade was held captive here for years.
This is the place that scares him.
Nothing scares him.
Liza, is it cool if I call you Liza? I don't know who that is.
Your name is Liza Abbott.
Your parents are Elaine and Paul.
You live at 412 Orangewood Drive.
And your favorite sport is gymnastics.
Mine is too.
I was just never any good at it.
Liza, you never have to see the place he made you live, not ever again.
It's not a place.
It's my home.
Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with Yo, Birkhoff? Mikey.
Anything? Hand drawn blueprints, with what looks like notes made by a kid, sending your way.
The peace that was meant to be He had her map his place? These are plans for a commercial building.
Look at the structural supports.
Maybe we should consult an actual engineer first.
Maybe you should use your actual eyes.
- Excuse me? - All right, settle down.
And just try and run a match.
Incoming phone.
Where is she? Where's Sarah? Well, I don't know who Sarah is, but Liza Abbott is safe.
Her name is Sarah.
And if you know what's best for you, you'll return her to me.
She's at Division, and you're welcome to come join.
Listen, everything you did under Percy's orders will be pardoned, but you need to stand down and come in.
Listen to you-- tough guy voice.
It's a wonder you managed to train anyone at all.
It's pathetic.
I didn't lose your job for you, Wade.
You did that.
You wanna know what pathetic is? Pathetic is kidnapping a 12-year-old girl to make up for the recruits you no longer have to order around.
I'm gonna give you one order, and one chance to follow it-- release Sarah.
We'll release Liza to her parents once we know she's safe.
It's not her safety you need to worry about.
Mobile three, cut him off! Inbound.
Two minutes.
You know what? I hate answering questions too.
So, I'll make ya a deal.
You can ask me anything you want, and I'll answer.
How about that? Can I leave? Yeah.
But as soon as you tell me about Wade.
Why? We need to know what he's planning.
We think he's gonna hurt other people.
Liza, listen to me.
This is gonna help you get back to your family.
What family? What's the first rule recruits are taught when they graduate? Don't phone home.
Right.
"Contact anyone from your old life, you will be killed and so will they.
" What if Wade taught that rule to Liza? Maybe she's afraid he'll kill her parents, and that's why she won't talk.
Sonya, dispatch a survey team to the Abbotts' house in Nyack.
- They may need protection.
- Thank you.
I'm glad you're on board, because you're headed there too.
For protection? They may know something that can help us break through to Liza.
But they can't know what's going on yet.
Got you covered.
Agent Pierson-- Pierce, ma'am.
Special Agent Pierce.
I'm sorry.
I don't recognize this man.
How is he connected? He may not be.
It's just a possible lead, but one we have to follow.
Mr.
Abbott.
No.
Please, sir, if you could just take the time.
Take my time? Yes.
There's no rush, but it really-- Let me tell you about time.
They say it heals all wounds, and it's true.
It works very slowly, but it works.
And the pain gets less and less.
And then one day, you see a face, hear a voice, and you think it's her.
And the hole in your heart gets ripped open all over again-- just like when you hear about another "possible lead.
" Please don't feel-- he's just-- Paul needs to move forward.
And he wants us both to, but I can't.
That's why I wear this.
It's beautiful.
We got matching ones when we went to Santa Fe one summer.
Mine's the mom, Liza's the daughter.
I never take it off.
You know, you look just like that Russian heiress who was in the news.
Um- She disappeared years ago, and then she popped back out of nowhere-- Alexandra Udinov.
I, uh, don't believe I read that story.
See, I follow every story just like that one.
Because sometimes they do come back, even when everyone else has given up.
See, I know in my heart that I'm going to see Liza again.
I know it.
Keep believing that, Mrs.
Abbott.
Don't ever stop.
Liza was keeping this in her room, in a very good, hidden spot.
How'd you find it? Luck.
Anyway, I thought you could use it to help her.
So, figure out what building this is? Too many cities, too little time.
The RDX is only lethal for the next 11 hours.
Great, so the only thing we go going for us is Wade really wants Liza back.
- He's not getting her.
- Exactly.
I think she's key to his attack.
It's not just an attack, it's a test--for her.
Look at these numbers.
These are times added up.
They're drills.
What kinda test? The only one Wade knows.
It's a kill mission.
Liza's graduation.
Or Sarah's, as he kept calling her.
That's a common tactic in training child soldiers.
New names severs kids from their real selves, makes 'em more malleable.
She kept this hidden in her room all this time.
The kid's stronger than he knows.
Can you clear the south corridor for me? I lived underground too.
They only let me out for two things-- eating and training.
This was my nightmare.
But I managed to turn it into my little corner of the world.
Who kept you here? A man who ran this place like a prison, but I fought back.
Percy? Oh, right.
I forgot you know everything about this place.
Hey, you wanna see something that no one else knows? I've only shown this to one other girl.
There's a slit back here, just deep enough to fit a key card in it.
Right there.
So I hid one here.
I stole it from a guard.
So every night, I would sneak out.
I'd wander around this place and I'd memorize it.
Then I'd let myself back in.
Then I'd map it all out.
What? You wanna ask me something, don't you? Good.
I told you you could ask me anything.
What happened to him? To Percy? I dropped him down a 300-foot shaft.
I think we all hold onto something that gives us hope.
Liza, Wade didn't find it, we did.
He has no idea you've been fighting back all this time.
The interpreter of my past.
The inspiration of our future.
The interpreter of my past.
The inspiration of our future.
The interpreter of my past.
The inspiration of our future.
Liza, honey.
He can't hurt you or your family.
Liza, you don't have to be Sarah anymore.
Okay? You don't have to be Sarah anymore.
You can really stop him? Oh, I'm going to stop him-- as soon as you tell me what he's planning.
He's going to New York.
He's going to Hotel Normandy.
We've got a perimeter alert! - What? - Outside the barn.
It's Wade.
I told him she was here.
He's knockin' on the wrong door.
Get responders at the surface and take him out.
I'll find out what's going on.
You're needed in operations immediately.
He's coming for me, I told you! Hey, look at me, look at me.
Read my eyes.
It's one man against all of us.
We are trained fighters.
There's no way he's getting past Division or me.
You don't understand.
I need you to stay with her.
Please don't leave me.
I'll be right back.
Be right back.
They can't actually expect to win.
Failure's not an option for this guy.
Well, it's about to become one.
- Is it him? - Yes.
Wade is attacking Division.
Where's Michael? Taking mobile one and two, armed and armored.
Everyone else is securing internal.
Just stay calm, okay? I don't wanna be by myself.
I'm right here if you need anything.
But I'm scared.
It's okay.
Everything will be f-- Aah.
Liza! How did you exfil? Through the auto bay.
Now you see why I had you study all those maps of Division.
Yes, sir.
What does chance favor? Chance favors the prepared mind.
Who interrogated you? Someone named Nikita.
Did she torture you? No.
Maybe it really is a new Division.
What? Let me see your teeth.
I wasn't sure that they'd pass on that I'd called you Sarah.
I heard the name, that's when I knew to make my move.
As we drilled.
You're Jessica now.
Yes, sir.
And what does Jessica do? She completes the mission.
I'm sorry-- We still have time.
And you did well today.
You'll do better tomorrow.
No match on the Hotel Normandy? Not from any angle.
Square peg, round hole.
She lied, just like she was trained.
I thought I was getting through to her.
Hey, you were.
I watched you in medical.
She said five sentences.
When you helped me get clean, I never let you know it was working, but it was.
I was just too afraid to show it.
What else did she say? She said that, uh, Wade was the interpreter of her past, and that she was the inspiration of the future, something like that.
"The interpreter of our past, "story of our present, inspiration of our future.
" It's the Pakistani national anthem.
Bring up Wade's file.
Who was the target he failed to kill? - Who, Wade? - No, the recruit-- the recruit that Wade beat to death.
Who's the target he failed to kill? Oh, it was some low-level politico from Pakistan.
He was mixed up in opium.
Saeed Tamir, former minister of defense.
Currently-- Pakistani ambassador to the U.
S.
She was sending a message under duress.
She was trying to help.
Run a locate on Saeed.
Match plans to the Pakistani consulate.
There's a NATO summit in New York this weekend.
Tamir's scheduled to attend.
As for tonight, he's giving a speech at an east-west youth summit at the Pakistani consulate.
Blueprints are a match.
This is all about correcting one failed mission, proving that he had a perfect record.
Wade's lost his mind.
Yeah, I think we've pretty much covered that.
Alert the State Department.
They'll cancel the function.
Slight problem.
The youth summit's televised.
It's already under way.
All right, people, let's move.
We have two targets.
Nikita, I'll see you up top.
Send everything to my office.
Ry? Ryan.
Why are there two targets on the board? Look, she assaulted an agent.
Wade is the target.
Liza is the victim.
- It's not that simple.
- Yes, it is.
Change the target back.
I am doing this to protect you.
And I won't take chances where that's concerned.
Help me get there.
We have a new lead on a suspect.
Is it the man in the picture? Elaine, it's very important that you understand this is only a lead.
We will do anything we can to help, anything.
There's something that you've already done.
That's why I'm here.
I don't understand.
I looked up that case you were talking about-- Alexandra Udinov.
Did you know that she carried her father's watch around with her? I think I remember reading that.
Evidently, she looked at it every day as a reminder of who she really was.
If she carried anything special, it would be her Indian girl.
Can I borrow yours? It could help.
Of course.
I'll return it, I promise.
Don't worry about that.
Just find Liza.
Let there be peace on earth the peace that was meant to be with God as our father brothers all are we Nikita.
This is her mom's-- matching set.
Nice one, Alex.
Now I just gotta get in there.
Any line on Wade? Michael's checking the perimeter.
Why don't you go join him? Copy.
Okay, Niki, you take the first hallway on the left.
I used to monitor my recruits' missions from a van.
Wade could be anywhere.
I'm picking up an encrypted wireless frequency nearby.
It's an ad-hoc network.
Tell me it's close.
You're right underneath it.
Madison building, Can't get more specific.
Liza? Liza, I know you're in here.
Birkhoff? Yeah? The marked points on these plans, they're not just random stars.
They're vents.
She's in the ducts.
Ladies and gentlemen, I can think of no better way to kick off a NATO conference than with an east meets west youth summit.
Our youth is our future, and in turn the inspiration for our international policy making.
in New York this weekend.
But in their youth, we have unlimited global possibilities.
Four minutes.
Weapon armed and set.
Begin egress.
The vents are the only unguarded entrance to the basement.
Just below the lobby where Tamir's standing.
He's standing on a bomb.
So, what I say to you today is this: The ground has shifted right before us.
I'm in the basement.
Security's tight on the outside.
Change of plans, detonate now.
But, sir-- Detonate now, and escape the chaos.
Remember, chance favors the prepared.
Birkhoff, servo-rifle! Same model.
On it, I'm on it.
Hey there, Michael! Just in time to see how it's done for real.
I'll get you right after, I promise.
Ooh.
Easy.
Nikita.
Nikita's here.
What? Detonate! Liza, honey, this isn't you.
You can change your mind right now and you won't get in trouble, I promise.
Where'd you get that? Your mom gave it to me.
She kept hers all these years.
Do you still have yours? She told me to tell you that she loves you, and she's still waiting for you.
What is the delay? Jessica! - Birkhoff! - Hang on.
Hang on.
I'm downloading my sweetness to your mobile now.
Okay.
Get it close to the servo, within ten feet.
That's easier said than done.
I am Wade's servo-gun.
I now betray my overlord.
Exterminate.
Exterminate! Oh, yeah.
So, one whose future depends on our mutual progress.
Your name is Liza Abbott.
Your parents are Elaine and Paul.
You live at 412 Orangewood Drive.
And you're really good at gymnastics.
Your mom says, "please come home.
" Jessica! Detonate now, or you will know what pain truly is.
Who's Nikita? My recruit.
It's okay, honey.
We're gonna get you home, okay? We're gonna get you home.
Transpo's ready.
I thought you might wanna see this one through.
Yeah.
I wouldn't miss it for the world.
One question, though.
What's that? The Indian girl necklace.
She hid it for two years.
Wade never found it, but you did.
Recruits seem to think their rooms hide behind an invisible force field.
You searched my room? Do you remember Percy's routine inspections? Uh, yeah.
I always passed them.
Yeah, that's because I was the one who found your key card.
The crack in this wall wasn't as hidden as you thought.
And you never ratted me out? I always had your back.
Look familiar? Can I, um-- can I go over the cover story again? Of course, if you want.
Okay, so Wade took me coming home from school.
He locked me in his basement and told me I was his new daughter.
He didn't hurt me, but he never let me go.
Yesterday, I heard a gunshot from upstairs.
After I was brave enough to look, he was lying dead on the kitchen floor.
He shot himself.
So I picked up his phone and dialed 911.
And you've never heard of the Pakistani consulate.
Or Division.
What's Division? I'd probably make a really good agent one day, huh? Hello? Just kidding.
But seriously though.
I'm probably one of the youngest girls you've ever saved, right? There was one other girl.
Liza, honey.
Alex is gonna walk you up to the house now, okay? Me? Don't you wanna-- No.
I got the last girl.
I want you to have this one.
Get her home.
Come on.
All this devotion, I never knew at all and the crashes are heaven for a sinner released and the arms of the ocean deliver me never let me go, never let me never let me, never let me go deliver me never let me go, never let me go never let me go, never let me go never let me go, never let me go deliver me never let me go, never let me go never let me go, never let me go deliver me never let me go
