Nikita s03e07 Episode Script

2 Should have responded to your recall earlier.
You made the right choice.
Chance to bury Division? I'm in.
It's what we do.
Welcome to the winning side.
Ops, I got visual on target.
Okay, Nikki, be careful.
We don't know what her contact is armed with.
Relax.
I have to warn her.
I have to warn Amanda.
No.
If she finds out I didn't warn her, she will trigger my kill chip, and I will die right here.
That's not gonna happen.
She's going down.
You're getting free.
I'm sorry.
I already did.
I had to.
Nikki, look out! It's a trap! [Grunting.]
[Gasps.]
[Coughs.]
Well, that worked out.
Birkhoff.
Why didn't you tell me? Because he didn't trust you.
Sonya.
I no longer require your services.
[Beeping.]
No! Sonya! Agh.
[Breathing heavily.]
Just tell her.
Just tell her.
I can't breathe, Nikki.
Nerd? Are you ever not armed? Seriously? Why are you shadowing me? I had to make sure nobody else was.
Okay.
You said you felt like you were being watched for, like, a month now.
Yeah, but I haven't spotted anyone till now.
There's a good reason for it.
Trust me.
Sonya is the mole.
What? She needs your help.
About three weeks ago, Amanda's cleaner grabbed her coming out of her apartment.
They reactivated her kill chip.
Now if she doesn't update them every two hours, she's considered compromised.
She couldn't take ten minutes to ask for help? We can remove her chip in medical.
No, no, no, there's a second mole.
Someone whose sole job it is to watch her, make sure she stays in line.
She has access to you, to us.
Yeah, Amanda wants her to focus on personal dirt.
She doesn't care about the missions.
She's playing the long game.
She wants to see me suffer.
You did the right thing telling me.
But we--we gotta tell the others.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
I told Sonya that-- Listen, I'll keep it quiet.
Trust me, I promise.
Okay.
In the meantime, make sure Sonya plays along.
Most wanted.
That's what I like to hear.
How do you know she isn't playing you? Do I detect a hint of jealousy, Anne? No.
Suspicion.
Why do you trust Sonya? She has an explosive in her brainstem that I have on speed dial.
Who needs trust? As long as you know when to use it.
Let's check the weather then.
[Beeping.]
Partially cloudy but still a balmy 78.
You see? Wailea Beach? If our friend on the inside senses Sonya is flirting with betrayal, the forecast on this weather site changes, and I retire Sonya.
This must be what it felt like to be Nikita.
On the run from place to place, launching her war from a laptop with a mole inside Division.
She lives inside stronger walls now.
But in a way, she's weaker than ever.
Even the strongest walls can come crashing down.
All you need to find is a single crack on the surface.
- Hey.
- Hey.
What are you doing here? It's a nice day.
I took a walk.
Yeah.
It's a little warm to wear that jacket, huh? Not really.
Were you following me? - Should I be? - No.
I--I just-- lately I've been feeling like someone's been watching me.
We all have.
We're letting Amanda's mind games get to us.
Or maybe you just took too many of these.
Sobelex, huh? I thought I saw the signs on you a few days ago.
Give it back, Michael.
Why? They're not yours.
They're Division's.
It's an experimental painkiller designed for combat use, not recommended for ex-drug addicts.
I was only taking it for my shoulder.
I wanted to help out.
Help? This doesn't just put your life in danger, Alex.
This puts my life in danger.
Nikita's.
And anyone who relies on you to shoot straight and back them up in the field.
I do.
[Cell phone rings.]
- It's Nikita.
- Okay, look, Michael.
Look, you're right, okay? I'll stop, I'll stop.
Just please don't tell Nikita.
Please.
Hey.
I'm on my way.
We're needed back at the office.
- Thank you.
- Don't.
I made the decision to talk to you before Nikita because this would hurt her more than anyone, on account of everything she's gone through for you.
So you are gonna be the one that tells her.
And in the meantime, you're gonna clean up, and you're not going back out into the field until that happens.
What did Nikita want? [Cell phone rings.]
Looks like we're both gonna find out.
All right, people, we need to up our game.
Let's close the net.
Now we know that she was in Luxembourg three weeks back and Andalusia six days ago.
We need to figure out where she's going next.
Let's go! Sonya, where's the list of her confiscated inventory? Almost done.
We need it now.
Bring it into briefing.
Yes, sir.
That should buy us some time.
You call that believable? "Okay, people, we need to up our game.
" Birkhoff, calm down.
It sounded fake.
We should be doing this in Ryan's office anyway.
Then I couldn't be here.
Your fake inventory, sir.
Are you sure there's a second mole? No, but I can't take the risk.
Let's start going over our options.
Surgery, remove the chip.
We lost our best surgeon in Amanda's attack on medical.
Surgery takes six hours minimum.
And I have to check in every two.
Which rules out a trip to an outside hospital as well.
Why can't someone else check in for you? The second mole would see and alert Amanda.
What about deactivation? Three hours.
Laparoscopic procedure.
Portable equipment.
Still gotta buy the extra hour.
Wait, didn't Amanda deactivate your kill chip once? How'd that work? She electrocuted me.
I was clinically deceased for 32 seconds.
It fooled the chip.
I'm not getting killed to save my life.
I have to get back to my station.
Wait, there is another way.
We kill the threat at its source.
We kill Amanda.
How? She relies on you for intel.
We set a trap.
End this for good.
No, no, no, no, no.
That means leaving her kill chip active.
This is about how we deactivate it.
But this could be the only w-- No! No, we're not risking her life any further.
It's not your life, Seymour.
It's mine.
Everyone in here is trying to save me, and all I've done is jeopardize your lives by not asking for help sooner.
Besides, I want revenge for what she's done to me.
Let's bait the bitch.
I knew I liked her.
Original air date on January 18, 2013 [Beeping.]
[Speaking french.]
Top secret Birkhoff device.
Not interested.
[Speaking french.]
Better step it up, honey, or it's die time.
You wanted to see me? Yeah.
Yes, I did.
What do you think? It's nice.
Nice? [Chuckles.]
Ahem.
This is a hydraulic battering ram with spike deployment.
We've got N.
O.
S.
booster, onboard radar, oil slick.
See those headlights right there? They launch laser-guided missiles.
Really? No, but how cool would that be if they did? That's why we all gotta get on board and convince Ryan it's worth spending the cash.
Michael, spare me the Psych 101, okay? Well, she's all you ever talk about at home, here.
It's always about Amanda.
I'm getting sick of this-- Awkward.
We were just leaving.
Yeah, we were.
See, this is exactly what I'm talking about.
We can't get a moment alone in here.
Is this what's wrong, or is there something else bothering you? Why does there need to be something else? Because lately it feels like you're holding back, you're suppressing something.
No, no, no.
The only one who's holding back is you.
You are holding us back.
Once we got rid of Percy, we were supposed to be done with this place, but now with your obsession-- What? No! No! Yes, yes, with your obsession, you are blind to the problem in front of you.
What? Are we done yet? The camera stopped ten seconds ago.
I just didn't want you to break character.
Are we sure this is gonna work? You and me fighting, Amanda catnip.
Okay, I will compress and upload the video to her, and then I will tell her that Michael has gone off to the pub to drown his sorrows in drink.
No, send the video, let it marinate, and then on your next update, let her know where Michael will be drinking.
And we're positive Amanda's gonna show up? I don't know, could be she sends Anne.
She sends Anne, we follow her to Amanda.
Either way, we have to plant the bait, so let's get started.
We're on a schedule, go.
Hey, guys, I just wanted to say how much it means to me-- Hey, Nerd, can we do this later? You have another mole to I.
D.
Ryan and Alex are waiting, phase two.
- Right, cool.
- Great.
You're awesome.
What? Let's not fight like that.
- Ohh.
- Ohh.
Phase two, whac-a-mole.
All right, people.
Everybody listen up.
We've got our first lead on Amanda.
With your help, we can finish this.
Alex is gonna bring you up to speed.
Based on our intel, we believe Amanda has a safe house within a 2-mile radius of Hofgarten.
I want everyone to pool their resources and do whatever you can to close the circle even further.
[Beeping.]
Okay, stations That many people spiked at the mention of Amanda? Yeah, now let's narrow it down even further.
See who reacts to Sonya reacting.
Go.
[Beeping.]
And then there were four.
Better get going and prep the next phase.
On it.
Ops, we're a go.
Is this what's wrong, or is there something else bothering you? Okay, why does there need to be something else? Because lately it feels like you're holding back.
Do you see what I see? I see why you forbid relationships when you were running Division.
Nikita is perceptive.
Michael is hiding something.
And I have an idea what it might be.
Well, it's all coming together or falling apart.
Contact the Watchman.
Tell him I have another assignment for him.
I don't understand how he gets so close to take these pictures.
We all have our specialty.
You have your knife.
The Watchman has his eye.
I find the cracks on the surface.
Anything yet? She should have responded by now.
What if she knows? She doesn't.
[Beeping.]
Wait.
Dealtown Shoe Outlet? Amanda encodes her orders on regular websites using steganography.
[Beeping.]
Why would Amanda have Sonya watching the two of you? She must have had someone following us.
Us? Both of you? We ran into each other this morning.
Michael, stop.
Nikita, a couple weeks ago, I started using again.
What? Michael found out and confronted me.
She was supposed to tell you.
She was supposed to? But it wasn't the right time.
This thing with Sonya-- Wait, using what? Sobelex for my arm.
It helped me retrieve the cryptograph, okay? No, if I had told you, you would have had me benched.
You're damn right I would have.
Nikita-- No, you I understand even less.
A member of our team is unstable, and you don't warn me, you don't warn Ryan? I wanted to avoid this type of overreaction.
Overreaction? She is an addict, Michael.
All right.
Guys, guys, stop.
Listen to yourselves.
Okay, this is what Amanda wants, the lies, the blame.
Fracture.
Birkhoff's right, we set out to fake a fight for Amanda, and here we are in a real one.
Well, this was my fault, so I'll stand down.
No.
We are going to adjust, and we are going to work with what we have.
We have confirmation that Amanda is tailing us.
We've suspected it for weeks.
I didn't see anyone, and I was looking.
If you were surveilled, it had to be at extremely long range.
Or extremely close.
Amanda has another rogue on her side.
Oh, sit.
The Watchman.
Who's the Watchman? He's a Division legend and now our ticket to Amanda.
She thinks something's going on between the two of you.
Let's give the lady what she wants.
Excellent work on the last batch of photos.
Exactly the kind of intel I was looking for.
Doesn't come cheap.
Stay with Michael and Alex.
Don't worry about Nikita for now.
Whatever's happening between the two of them is more important.
I'll begin as soon as the money hits my account.
Already on its way.
This was taken from a park cam earlier today.
Here's me and Alex, and here's the Watchman.
How can you be sure that's him? Because we had Birkhoff run his facial recog program through all the surrounding cameras.
He was able to track everyone from the coffee cart about 12 blocks.
This guy vanished in one.
Vanished? That's his specialty.
The Watchman was Division's close surveillance expert.
He was able to change his appearance at a moment's notice, he made it a habit.
His job was to surveil a target without making them aware they were even being followed.
Only Percy and Amanda knew his name and what he really looked like.
- What's in his file? - Never had one.
His other job was to investigate Division agents.
He did routine checks on everyone, observed them in their cover lives and made sure they didn't break any rules.
Which is why he only reported to Percy and Amanda.
He's about to write his last report.
I'm still not sure about this.
You want Michael and I to pretend to rendezvous in some nightclub.
Sonya will feed the address to Amanda.
This is a photo op.
Wherever you go, the Watchman will follow, and I will follow him.
When he makes contact with Amanda, we trace his communications and zero her location.
Now what about the second mole? They're still in play.
Birkhoff's got that under control.
Okay, people, look alive.
What are we doing down here? What's with all the questions? So Halon system went off, covered the tower, fried eight of the nodes.
- Did it malfunction? - No.
Our fire prevention system suddenly became self-aware and decided to attack us with whipped cream.
That's a joke.
Anyway, people, the point is we're in the middle of the hunt for Amanda.
We need to be up and running at full capacity.
So I want each of you to choose two nodes and rebuild them from the ground up.
What? That'll take hours.
Then you better stop whining and get to work.
'Cause none of you are leaving until the job's done.
Enjoy.
Malfunction, my ass.
This looks like sabotage.
What do you think, Baker? Another present from our friendly neighborhood mole? I think you should just stop talking.
We've got a lot of work to do.
I don't want to be stuck down here all night with you and your conspiracy theories.
Excuse me.
You guys are supposed to be having an affair, not on the most awkward date ever.
Well, it is awkward.
I'm on a date with my best friend's boyfriend, and her voice is in my head.
Fiance.
Now pretend you like each other.
You know what, why don't we start with pretend you know each other.
- So what do we talk about? - I don't know.
I've never cheated on anyone before.
Me neither.
Well, as long as we're here, we might as well talk about your recovery.
There's a detox treatment, it's called buprenorphine.
Bupawhat? It makes it easier to come off the stronger stuff.
It also eases the pain.
That's just the first step.
What's the second? You need to talk to someone.
I'm pretty sure that if I told a shrink about the secret government agency I work with, they would have me committed.
Nikita, any news on our shapeshifting friend? Well, he came here for a show, and you guys are giving him nothing.
We need him to accomplish his mission, force him to exit.
What do you have in mind? Kiss her.
Are you joking? Michael, jokes are funny.
We're on a mission.
Okay, be a good, little spy, and kiss her.
It's okay.
Just when I thought this couldn't get any more uncomfortable.
She ratchets it to a whole new level.
[Camera shutter clicking.]
Gotcha.
Birkhoff, do you have an image? Yeah, but it's not gonna do much good.
He's gonna change up his look to screw with my street cam algorithms.
I'm gonna have to do this manual.
Call it out.
Get ready to adjust your image for tan raincoat.
I lost him.
Probably went out the front.
Got him.
He just hopped in a cab off Bennett.
Following him now.
Birkhoff, you got him? I'm on the leader.
Go.
Go, go, go.
Okay, he's at 69th, just off Amsterdam Ave.
Apartment One.
[Beeping.]
Got it.
He's transmitting directly to an I.
P.
address in Quebec City.
Pulling the coordinates now.
He's all yours.
Oh, yeah.
[Door bursts open.]
Hey.
Ready for your close-up? Birkhoff, got some trash for pickup.
You guys should be set.
Wish I was going with you.
You should be here.
Birkhoff's gonna need someone to watch his back when he starts the deactivation.
Who watches the Watchman? Did you kick him in the peeping Toms? Yeah.
Speaking of, there are a lot more photos on this than we actually thought.
Eww.
What? Well, he's got a couple shots of you proposing to me in Tribeca.
- What? - Mm-hmm.
After I took ten showers, I was thinking it might actually be a nice keepsake.
Can you give this to Ryan? Yes, absolutely.
Hey.
I know it's been a rough day, but we'll talk about your relapse when I get back, okay? - Be careful.
- Okay.
It's a two-hour flight to Quebec City.
You can change on the plane.
Michael, do you think I'm obsessed? What? With getting Amanda.
That was our fake fight.
I'm having trouble keeping track.
Yeah, Amanda knows how to hurt us more than anyone else.
I know that I won't be able to breathe easy until she's gone.
I just have this feeling that something's gonna happen.
[Zipper zips.]
Something.
To Sonya? Hey.
Nikita, we can't control the future.
What's important is, whatever happens, we face it together.
That's all that matters to me.
Let's finish this.
We can't wait.
We can't wait any longer.
We've got to start this thing now.
Nikita and Michael aren't in position yet.
They're an hour outside Amanda's location.
Deactivation takes three hours.
Let's get this thing going.
Okay, we haven't I.
D.
'ed the second mole yet.
We can't wait for that.
What if the mole has a check-in time? We don't know.
We don't even know if the mole is real.
All I know, the kill chip is active.
I need to make it the other way.
Where do you want to do this? Sublevel 12.
Whoa, Amanda's old torture room? Yeah, nobody goes down there.
We won't be bothered.
How long will our suspects be occupied? Four hours, tops.
[Sighs.]
Do it.
If anyone leaves, I'll deal with them.
I've got your back.
Okay, I'm freaking out.
Why are you not freaking out? I don't see how that would help.
I'm focusing on the plan.
There's gotta be another way we can do this that doesn't involve risking your life.
We've already narrowed down the list of suspects to four.
They're under surveillance.
So you can finally disable this damn thing in my head.
How can you be so sure this is gonna work? I'm about to let you poke at my brain with a needle.
Apparently I trust you.
[Elevator dings.]
Okay, come on.
Make yourself comfortable.
Okay, just lean forward.
Just like that.
Looks scary.
Actually, it's a very, uh A simple procedure.
Okay.
Now just relax.
Just stay calm.
Take deep breaths.
[Breathes deeply.]
Okay, now this is just a local anesthetic.
A slight pinch.
Gonna need you to hold very still.
Whatever you say, Dr.
Birkhoff.
[Scoffs.]
I'm supposed to keep asking you questions to make sure your brain's functioning properly.
I think the sarcasm quadrant is working just fine.
Ask away.
Are you serious? Anything to distract me.
Okay.
Um What are you gonna be for Halloween this year? A princess.
Oh, a princess, huh? Leia? Zelda.
I knew you were gonna be Zelda.
Well, then why'd you say Leia? Because it distracted you.
Didn't it? Hard part's over.
[Beeping.]
Agh, damn it! [Grunts.]
Stupid cart.
That looks serious.
- I'm gonna go to medical.
- Right.
[Dials phone.]
[Phone rings.]
Server room.
Yes, this is Alex.
Is Baker there? I've got a question.
You just missed him.
He's headed to medical.
Accidentally cut himself.
Did Baker come by here? I don't see anything.
Movement, second left.
Ah.
Now I can't get a clear shot.
We're gonna have to go inside, up close and personal.
We can't risk breach until Sonya's chip is deactivated.
Birkhoff, how is she? You always did like the recruits, didn't you? Your friend Marcel contacted Ari.
He's willing to meet, but only if you're there.
- Where? - Serbia.
I've got a Netjet waiting for you at the local airport.
I hate Serbia.
But at least I'll get some work done on the plane.
Lost? Cut myself.
Going to medical.
You're about 12 floors off.
What does Amanda have on you? What does she have? She has my loyalty.
She's always had it.
You're the traitor here, and traitors die.
- What's happening? - I don't know.
What the hell's going on out there? It was Baker in the server room with the candlestick.
Baker, really? Dude had skills.
I never liked him.
Guy was a douche bag.
You should call Nikki, tell her the good news.
Is it green for Amanda? We're at 72%.
So the mole is down, but the chip is active? - Correct.
- Where are we at? - 72%.
- Minutes, Alex.
Nikita.
B, how many minutes? Eh, five, six? Five or six.
Is it five, or is it six? Nikita, look.
She's out of pocket.
Change of plan.
She's on the move.
We're on the move.
Damn it.
- You're too close.
- We can't lose her.
That's strange.
The weather inside Division hasn't changed at all.
That's good, right? I mean, there's been no refresh in the data, no update at all.
[Sighs.]
It's done.
It's done? Seymour? You're safe.
Nikita, chip is down.
We're green to strike.
[Engine revs.]
[Tires screeching.]
[Horns honking.]
It's Nikita.
How did she-- [dialing.]
[Beeping.]
Birkhoff! What are you doing? They're shooting at us.
Wait! Grenade! Anne, stop.
Do not kill her.
[Groaning.]
Michael.
Are you okay? My arm's stuck.
[Groans.]
[Gunshots.]
Anne! [Groans.]
Nikita, just go.
No, the tank's gonna blow.
I know, I want you to live.
Just go, please.
I love you.
Damn it, just go! I love you.
Aghh! Michael.
We gotta go, it's gonna blow.
