Nikita S1E20 - English Transcript

1 - Previously on nikita - People I used to work for, they're called division-- Black ops program that has now gone rogue. - If I was on the inside, I could tell you what they were planning Before they do it. - The black box contains Our government's darkest secrets. - A change is coming, michael. That black box Is what is going to make those changes possible. - You're planning a move against the government? - We need to find the rest of the black boxes, So we can kill percy. - Nikita has an escape plan to get me free and clear. I want you to come with me. [dramatic music] ♪ [distant siren] - I did what you said. I did a surveillance sweep, And there is no one physically watching my apartment. I can bolt at any time. I can-- I can leave the car. I can leave the clothes. Everything. In fact, I don't have to go back there now. I mean, I can set up right here. - This is not a good time to blow your cover And join me on the outside. - Why not? What are you waiting for? - Look, we're doing really well. I mean, apparently, percy's freaking out 'cause I've killed two of his black boxes. He called michael in to help him secure the rest. We've got him on the ropes, But we can't afford to make a mistake. - Fine. But you're just making my point. Michael is a way better double agent Than I could ever be. You don't need me on the inside anymore. You're the one who's always telling me That it's too dangerous for me in there, and I thought you wanted me to get out. - When "out" meant fiji, Not sticking around to fight division. - Nikita, I look at you, And you call your own shots. You're not running away from anything. - Doesn't mean I can't wait for this to be over, alex. - Yeah, and when it's over? Where do you go after that? - Plainview, pennsylvania. Population, 7,500. A slice of small town americana. The kind of place we're in the business of protecting. And the last place on earth anyone'd ever think To look for a black box. - Not even nikita. - Let us be clear about this. There is only one reason why she succeeded In destroying those two black boxes. Owen elliot. Guardians are supposed to be perfect. He was far from it. When a component breaks down, The entire system needs to be reevaluated. Then and only then can the proper adjustments be made. - What kind of adjustments? - [clears throat] [beeping] - This is the plainview guardian, winters. I want you to surveil her. One 24-hour cycle. Do not initiate contact Just make sure she's following protocol. Any behavior out of the ordinary, I want to hear about it. - I remember winters. - Michael, this is priority one. I'm checking on all four guardians simultaneously, Starting now. - Here's winters' tracker I. D. Word of advice: Don't let her catch you spying on her. These guardians are tightly-wound freaks. Just like their boss. - Percy's giving you trouble, huh? - Ugh, god, the man is freaking out. He needs to chill. I've been on 24/7 black box duty all month. - I guess nikita's got him pretty rattled. - [laughs] Yeah. Right. Whatever. - What? - Just try and pretend I'm not an idiot, okay? Just give me that much. - What are you talking about? - What am I-- This isn't about nikita, and you know it. It's about operation sparrow. - What's operation sparrow? - [laughs] didn't I just ask you not to do that? I'm gonna find out what it is in a couple weeks When the operation goes active anyway, So you may as well tell me now. - Couple of weeks? - Oh, crap. You don't know. - Know about what? - Nothing. Ahem. - Seymour You're right about one thing. Whatever operation sparrow is, I will be briefed before you. If you want advance word, Then you'd better give me yours now. - I got nothin', man. Operation sparrow. That's it. Percy's been hiding all the prep work on the black boxes. - Don't you send the updates? - I encrypt them While he watches me. Look, all I know is It's going down soon And it's big. Whatever it is. - Remember the big changes percy was telling me about? The move by division against the government? I think that's what operation sparrow is code name for. - So you want me to hunt down the guardian, Get the box, but not destroy it. And you better get going. You only got a six-hour window. - I thought that-- wait, I th-- Wait, whoa. I thought percy gave you 24 hours. - 24 hours to spy on winters and report back. But if my report is that you showed up, Kicked the guardian's ***, took the box, And I failed to stop you, then - It'd look pretty suspicious. - Which is why you need to get it done Before I show up. That way, I can tell percy "sorry, you sent me in too late. " - I don't like it. - You've dealt with worse. - No, I mean I think that we should destroy the box, Not peek inside it. - Cracking the box is the only way to get ahead of percy. If I have to wait for him to brief me on sparrow, Then I think it'll be too late. - [sighs] - Hey, what's wrong? - When you told me that you Found the third guardian I got all excited. I thought We're halfway to taking percy down, and - Yeah. - And then-- - and then what? We live happily ever after In domestic bliss? - Stupid, right? It's noon. I better get going. I'm running out of time. [clatter] - Uhh! Oh! Uhh! - What the hell are you doing in my house? Ohh! - [grunting] - Uhh! - Where's the woman? - Who? - The woman who lives here. Dana winters. - I swear, I have no idea who that is. Been here for the last year on my own. - Then where's the signal coming from? - What signal? - We got a problem. I'm sitting outside the guardian's house right now. Did she spot you? - No, but I don't think we're gonna Be able to pull this off in time. - I'm reading she's in close proximity To her house right now. - I knowI've got her tracker in my hand. I just don't know where she is. - Pretty clever on winters' end. Percy checks her tracker, Looks like she's in town, Living at her appointed residence. - For all we know, she's sitting on some beach in the tropics. Look, we have to scrap this mission. The clock is ticking, And I need to get to plainview for appearances. Maybe we can go to dinner. Right before I tell percy his guardian's gone. - Unless we don't. What if she's still here? - What are you saying? You think she removed the tracker And stayed in plainview? - Just hear me out. All the black boxes are kept at banks, right? Guardian protocol. There are three banks in plainview. Only one of them has safety deposit boxes. - Where you going with this? - Hurry up and get down here. I've got a plan to flush her out. [knock on door] - Nathan. - Hey. Hey. I've been waiting for you to get back in town. Look I know you're in trouble. And you're stuck in some kind of insane job That makes you miserable. But I can help. - Okay, wait. - No, no, just hear me out, okay? My buddy brian lives in san francisco. And he's got a guest house on his property. It's nice, private. He's cool with you crashing there Until you settle into the city. - Nathan, I already have a plan to get away. But once I'm gone, the people I work for They'll come looking for me, and you can't be here When they do. - Wait, so now I'm the one that needs to go? - Yes. And san francisco won't be far enough. - What? - They know I care about you, And they could hurt you. - Who is "they"? Why don't you just talk to me like a normal person for once, And tell me what the hell's going on? - BecauseYou already know too much, okay? I'm trying to protect you. - From the mob, right? That's who we're talking about here. - What? No! - Okay, come on. That guy michael, He's definitely connected. You owe money or something, right? - They are government assassins, nathan. And they will kill you. And they will erase any evidence That you were ever here. - [scoffs] If you wanted to end things You could have just said so. - [scoffs] [door slams] - Life on the outside can be difficult. Some agents find it challenging To balance their division duties With their civilian cover. - I'mSure I'll be fine. Long as I remember division always comes first. - Well, just the same, Now that you and alex are on better terms, I'd like you to use her as a resource. She could be a valuable touchstone for you During this transition. - Couldn't hurt, I guess. To be honest, I am a little nervous to get back out there. - We don't have to fear the outside world, jaden. They have to fear us. - On the floor please! [*** gun] Gimme that. - Empty the safe. Fill the bag! [patrons scream] [alarm ringing] [sirens] [indistinct police radio chatter] [police radio chatter continues] [siren approaching] [electronic bleeping] - I don't believe this. [indistinct chatter] - Well, this is unbelievable. - I know. Ice cream? - We have less than an hour before I have to call percy, And what am I supposed to tell him? The guardian adopted a family? Send in the cleaners? - No. - Nikita, all we have to do is grab that black box. - And when percy finds it's gone, He'll kill dana and the cop and his son along with her. - Well, we're not in the guardian protection problem. - We are now. There's civilians involved. Michael, if percy didn't order this investigation, She could have flown under the radar for years. And the only reason he ordered it was because of me. - We get them out They're gonna spend the rest of their lives Looking over their shoulders. - Worse ways to live. - Meaning what? - ApartAlone. - That's two. - I know. - [scoffs] Look, the way we live, ITry to to spend too much time Thinking about the future. - I know that too. Look, michael. We can help her. You have an hour before you have to call in. - Yeah. If she takes her help. Remember, she's a guardian. It's not like we could just show up on her doorstep. [doorbell rings] - Hey. - Hi. - Evenin'. You folks lost? - No, actually, we just, uh, Moved in around the corner. - We figured we'd get to know some of our neighbors. Hope you don't mind us stopping by like this. - Charlie, who is it? - Hi. It's great to meet you guys. - Yeah, this is dana. - I'm sorry, is this a bad time? Because we can-- - We could come back another night. - No. No. Uh, come on in. I'm sure there's enough pot roast to go around. - This is some pot roast. Delicious. - Yeah, if you don't mind raping the planet for it. - Eddie. - I can't believe we're still eating red meat When cow farming is-- - Sit down and eat. Our guests aren't interested in your views. - She is. - Oh. Heh. Busted. - See? - I think it's a choice that people should make On their own, though. But thank you. - If you're a vegetarian, I'd be happy to get you something else. - No, I'm fine. I've got a salad and all these sides. So I'm good. So how--how long have you guys been together? - They shacked up after my real mom died. - Eddie! That's enough. Ellen passed when he was still a toddler. I did the single dad thing for a while, Until I pulled this one over for speeding. And our first date on the shooting range Sealed the deal. [chuckles] - How long ago was that now? - Almost two years. - I keep threatening to drag her down to city hall And make her an honest woman. - So how long have you two been married? - Two--two months? - Two months. Yeah, yeah. But we've-- we've been in love Both: Forever. - Yeah. - So newlyweds? - Yes. - Congratulations. - Thank you. - So how long till you start poppin' out the rug rats? - [chokes] Um, we're Taking things slow. - Dana, is there a restroom? - I will show you. - Great. - And I'll keep the men entertained. - [whispering] why are you doing this? - We don't have a lot of time. Listen to me. Percy's unleashing his inner psycho. He's lost two of his black boxes. - I got the alert. If that's all you're after, You should have left my family alone. - Division would have found you out sooner or later. - No, I had a plan. - What plan was that? Plant your tracker on a townie? What was that gonna buy you? A minute? Maybe an hour max? - That's all I need. - To do what? To run or to tell charlie the truth? When were you planning on doing that? - I just I needed more time. If I told him who I was, I might lose them both. - You might lose them both now. [both grunting] Listen I'm here to help you. - What is Uhh! Michael, is he still division? [both panting] It's complicated, all right? - What's in this for you? - I want the black box. But not until I get you and your family out of here. - Why should I believe you? - Because, once upon a time I was like you. I could have told the truth. And I should have. But I didn't. I lost everything. You still have a chance at a real life. But not until you come clean. [knock on door] - Listen, I - What? - What nothing. What are you doing here? - Just moved into my new place. It was only like ten minutes away, so Figured I'd stop by. [grunts] My neck is killing me, by the way. I got this ringing in my ear. How long does it take for all that to go away? - Well, you should feel better by tomorrow. - These apartments are so big. I can't get over it. How long did you wait to try out your credit card? - Listen, jaden, I'm a little-- - I know. I'm sorry. I should have called. I've been meaning to tell you, What you did for me in switzerland I just want to say thank you. - You'd have done the same for me. [approaching footsteps] - You left your stuff at my place. - Uh, hey. I'm jaden. One of alex's coworkers. - Another government assassin. Awesome. [door slams] - Uhh! - My time is up. I need to call in. - So call in. - And say what? Whatever I tell percy has to stand up to verification, Otherwise, he's gonna thinking we're involved. - We stick to the original plan. - The original plan is blown. - No, dana's agreed to run. All she has to do is tell charlie the truth, Get him on board, then you and I get the black box. - What? Get charlie on board About going on the run with his kid? That is gonna take a lot of time, And we're all out of time. - Here's her tracker. - Nikita - The guardian's gone offline. - Michael, reassure me. - I'm afraid I can't, sir. Winters' tracker's offline and she's gone m. I. A. Nikita's on the ground and she's after the box. I need a strike team here. Immediately. - I was perfectly fine before you came along. - They've been out there for half an hour. Team's on its way. [dana and charlie arguing] - She's just turning his entire world upside down. Give 'em a second. I can't imagine what you're feeling, But I know that's the hardest thing Dana's ever had to do. - What, other than killing? Or doesn't that bother you people? - It does, believe me, it does. - Yeah, and lying? I guess they teach you that too. - It's not like we had a choice. - She had a choice. She could have chosen to stay out of my damn life. - She loves you. She thought it was worth the risk. - Yeah, maybe to her. - If she'd asked you What would you have said? - I'm a police officer, for god's sake. - Try to work it out. - It's not just us. There's eddie. You expect me to sit him down and tell him That his future stepmother's a trained killer? - Just please Talk to her. - Eddie! - What happened? - He heard us talking about you. - Oh, my god. Charlie, I'm sorry. This is all my fault. Let me go find him. - Division team's on the way. - We don't have a lot of time then. I'm gonna head to the bank, grab the black box. Michael, you rendezvous with the division team. Keep them at bay. Dana and charlie, you know the town best. Get in separate cars. Go and find him. When you do, Get out of here as fast as you can. - So you knocked boots with the guyFine. But it looks like you let your guard down Along with your pants. - Jaden, relax. He was joking. - Seemed more like he was pissed. What went down between you two? - Nothing you need to worry about. - So it was serious? - No. He wanted it to be. But I told him to leave me alone. That I knew some dangerous people, And that he should stay away. - Have you told michael? - Why would I? - We should call it in. Get it on record that surfer boy Might know a little too much. It'll take, like, two seconds. - Stop. - What are you doing? - There is no reason to call. - What are you doing. Let go! I'm not gonna end up with my *** in a sling. - Well, neither am I! - You are hiding something. Whatever it is, you're not taking me down with you. Uhh! [both grunting] [switchblade pops out] - Uhh! - Hey, what is going on? - Ohh! - Uhh! - [grunting] [gunshot] - [whispering] nathan. Nathan. Hey, nathan. I need you to go. - What about you? What are you gonna do? - I'll be fine. I'll be fine. Okay, I need you To pack as fast as you can. Okay? I need you to go, please? - Who are you? - Please leave now! [electronic bleep] - hello? - Nikita, thank god. Um, I need your help. - What's wrong? - Jaden, she, um She came over, and we got in an argument, And then it had happened so fast. And she tried to kill me. - Alex, slow down. Where's jaden now? - She's dead. Shot. [sniffling] And, nikita, the body is here, and I don't know what to do. - Call division. Tell them the truth. Say that jaden attacked you, and you were defending yourself. They'll send a cleaner to deal with the body. Call me when the cleaner leaves. - [crying] I need to report an incident. [patsy cline's crazy playing] ♪ - Thank you. Gentlemen Welcome to plainview. Our mission here is to salvage the black box And find nikita. If we can avoid causing a scene in the process, All the better. - What's the last intel you have on nikita's position? - Workin' on that as we speak. Throwing a net over the whole town. Every phone, camera, and computer be mine. - Our priority is the box. We head to the bank first. - Sure you wanna be doing that? - You're not gonna call the cops, are you? - Well, I can't make any promises, But tell me what the plan is. Grab a greyhound bus to the nearest city And then what? Start a vegan punk band? - Sounds better than staying in this crappy town With my dad and his psycho girlfriend. - True. Wanna know how psycho she is? There's a bunch of bad guys out there, Looking to kill her, and instead of running, She's looking for you. What a psycho. - She's probably trying to erase the evidence. - She cares about you. And your dad. Look, my mom wasn't my real mom, either. I grew up in a foster home. But she loved me From the day she met me till the day she died. I know it's hard for you to understand this right now, But when you find people like that, You gotta hold on with everything you got. [indistinct police radio chatter] - Where's nikita? Black box is gone. We were too late. - Hold that thought. Just got a voiceprint match on dana winters. She used a cb radio to contact local law enforcement. Said she was on main street and oak. That is less than a mile from the bank. - Nothing on main. [tires screech] - Agent winters, Why haven't you answered your phone? - It was damaged. - Why were you talking to local law enforcement? - I was using them to search for nikita. - Do you know where she is? - I haven't seen her since she attacked me, But I figured she'd make a play for the black box, So I told the police that she's behind the hit on the bank. - Guys, you're not gonna believe this. My facial recog scan just got a match on nikita. I picked it up on a security cam feed At a local hardware store. Looks like she's in there right now with some kid. [coins rattle on desk] - You ready? - Yeah. [tires screeching] - Hold your fire! Stand down. I said hold your fire! Hold your fire! - There's no way out. We got her pinned. [*** gun] - It's gonna be okay. I promise. - I thought you said you didn't make any promises. - Well, this one, I intend to keep, all right, punk? I'll give you the black box if you let the kid go! He's innocent. - That's fine. Let him go. Then we'll deal with the box. - It's a trap. - We don't need to add a dead civilian to this mess. Even nikita knows that. - Nikita! Come out, now! - What? What are you doing? - She's not gonna sacrifice him. He's our ticket to the black box and nikita. Nikita, you're gonna come out with the black box And let us restrain you. Or I blow this kid's brains all over the street. I'm counting to three. One! Two! - [sniffing] [squeak] - Who else was here? - It was just jaden and me. - Which of you wears aftershave? - I was lighting a candle ToCalm myself down. Something amanda taught me. - Was jaden drinking? - What? - Did she consume any alcohol In the last four hours, to your knowledge? - I don't No, I don't think so. - The muscle relaxant makes them easy to maneuver, But it also flushes out any internal toxins Through the pores. I don't like the smell of alcohol. - [coughing] - You'll need to report in. Amanda wants a full debrief. - This blood sample will give you access. - Thank you. - You know, before you came, I was trapped. Stuck between two worlds and afraid to Walk away from either one. - Now you're in the world where you belong. - What about you? You think you'll end up in the world where you belong? - Dana! Thank you. Just, uh When you're out there fighting You be careful, okay? - Okay. I hope we can crack this thing. Otherwise, we have to look for new leads on sparrow. - I'm sorry. - For what? - I can make plans for the worst-case scenario, No problem. But when it comes to Planning ahead for positive outcomes, I'm just not used to that. It does not mean I don't want one. It's just It has been a long time Since anything as good as you has happened in my life. - Have you heard from alex? - Not yet. - Well, your story seems to match up With the geography of jaden's tracker this evening. But I have to say, alex, I'm somewhat shocked by all this. I thought you and jaden were becoming friends. - Jaden never wanted to be my friend. - But after what happened in switzerland, surely-- - She thought I made her look bad That she couldn't save herself. She's always had it in for me. She was just biding her time. - Well, I suppose it makes sense that someone With her psychological makeup would resent you for your help. You must have wounded her pride more than I imagined. - Are we finished? - Yes. Alex, one more thing. Are you familiar with our new cochlear implants? Division's been developing them for some time. They go in a subject's ear, And they're virtually undetectable. Even to the person they're planted on. - [alex on recording] nikita, thank god, um I need your help. [echoing] jaden, she, um She came over, and we got in argument It happened so fast. And she tried to kill me. - How much longer did you think You could hide who you really are - [gasps] - Alexandra?
