Nikita (2010–2013): Season 2, Episode 14 - Rogue - full transcript

Nice car.

Yeah, I'm aware of that.

You lookin' for me?

Not anymore.

Well, good.

Then get your ass off my paint.

It's bad enough
I gotta deal with swirl marks

from those guest workers
down at the detail shop.

Hey, you got a hearing problem?

911 Emergency.

Yes, I'd like to report
the brutal and senseless murder



of a Newark Police Detective.

Unh!

Hunh! Aah!

Unh!

I forgot how good you are
when you're angry.

I forgot how easy you are to beat.

Ahem.

Hunh! Hunh! Hunh!

Yaa!

Unh!

Ugh!

Nice try.

That's crazy,
I can't believe I made it.

Two Division tails.



The one on the train
and one on the street.

I think the satellites are hot, too.

I got ten minutes.
Tops.

Amanda has you under surveillance?

- What are you doing here?
- I asked her to come.

What's the update?

Amanda definitely has
complete control of Division.

She's strutting around the place

like she just won Top Model.

No Oversight, no boundaries.

And you wanna know what
she's doing with all that power?

Nothing.

No missions have been activated,
nothing is in prep.

The only thing she's running
is the propaganda machine.

I mean, look at it.

Oversight gets wiped out,
but nobody's the wiser.

She's turned it
into a national tragedy.

The world thinks that some
anti-government wacko did it.

That can't be all she's up to.

Oh, I asked her.

She says that
I should think of Division

as a boutique agency.

- Only the most vital missions.
- Vital to whom?

And why is she telling you this?

There is one mission she's prepping.

She wants to help me
get my mother out of Russia.

Says she has a plan.

Okay, listen to her.
And then say no.

Michael.

She can't, she won't.

I wouldn't.

Are you saying that I should do it?

Well, I'm saying that
if you want to get your mother

out of Russia,
it's better that Amanda

works with you
instead of against you.

Keep your enemies closer.
Right?

If you get close to Amanda,

you'd better know what she's up to.

She wants Zetrov.

And I'm the perfect way
for her to do that.

So what happens
when you change your plans?

We'll blow that bridge
when we come to it.

For now it's a...
It's a smart plan.

Get out of here,
keep your eyes and ears open.

♪

- It's Birkhoff.
- What's up?

Well, he's in Seattle
looking into countermeasures

for the house...
There were two signal intrusions

that almost...

What is it?

He said you made the local news.

Newark Police Detective Peter Edmonds

was shot and killed outside
this local bar last night

and the case has
a bizarre and shocking twist.

You're looking
at the late Nikita Mears,

runaway and drug addict
sentenced to death

for killing
Newark Police Officer Eric Deros,

Detective Edmonds's partner
some ten years ago.

Mears was executed
by the state of New Jersey,

but apparently
she's still got some fans.

A 911 call wasn't any help
in identifying the shooter.

Could you tell us your name, sir?

I'd like to remain anonymous.

What the hell is he doing?
Trying to expose you?

No.

Because that would expose Division

and he still wants that back.

Nikita, what do you want?

Unh!

- You don't have a choice!
- Yaay!

Get back!

- Shut up!
- Whoa! Whoa!

He's trying to shake me up.

Newark Police Detective Peter Edmonds

was shot and killed outside
this local bar last night

and the case has
a bizarre and shocking twist.

You're looking
at the late Nikita Mears...

Senator Madeline Pierce's office,
please hold.

Sentenced to death for killing

Newark Police Officer Eric Deros.

Detective Edmonds's partner
some ten years ago.

- News has been posted.
- I can see that.

Senator Madeline Pierce's Office.

Yes, would you tell her
an old friend from Division

is calling to see if she's okay?

She'll want to pick up.

It's from the Senator's Office.

Going secure.

I have Percy on the line.

Can you trace it
through your equipment?

Percy called your office?
What does he want?

He wants to speak with you.

Transfer it.

I take it you got my message.

Yeah, it was subtle, but I caught it.

I'm glad the senator
could help facilitate this call.

It shows she still has some use left.

- What do you want?
- I'm seeing the appeal.

Being on the road, on the run.

- It's exciting.
- Percy, what do you want?

Well, just that it occurred to me

as we are both rogue now
that we share a common enemy.

The only person I want
to kill more than Amanda is you.

Mmm, I was afraid
you were gonna say that.

- I like you afraid.
- No.

I am afraid for you.

You see, Nikita,

I had a plan to overthrow Amanda

and restore order to Division.

But your vindictiveness
has denied me that.

So now I'm gonna have to hurt you.

Oh, you wanna meet
on the playground after school?

- All right, I'm in.
- You're not listening.

You took something from me

and now I'm going
to take something from you.

Someone you love, because
now I'm feeling vindictive.

Bring it on.

All the people I love carry guns.

Not Carla Bennett.

Hello?

Anyone there?

She abandoned me.
I don't care about her.

No, of course
you don't care about the woman

who got you clean.

The woman you loved so much
you wanted to call her mom.

Sweetheart, I know more about you

than you know about yourself,

and I'm gonna
use it to cause you pain.

You won't be able to find her.

One good thing about
not having Division anymore

is that I need only focus
on one operation at a time.

You wanted Daddy's attention,

you got it.

{pub}So, then he looks at me

and he says...

"You're hired."

What?

- Oh, you did it!
- Yeah.

I, uh, start tomorrow.

That hospital needs
somebody just like you.

I mean you have helped me
so much since you've come here.

I mean look at how much
this place has changed.

I'm scared, Carla.

When he said I got the job, I...

Just wanted to run.

That's because you have
been told all your life

that you're not worth it.

And when you're young and you
hear that over and over again,

that starts to sink in.

But you are so much stronger now.

You're a wildflower.

Wildflowers, they grow in the desert.

The most horrible place
on the planet.

Because they save their strength

and they wait for the rain to come.

And they reach for the sun

and they bloom.

And that's what
you're gonna do, Nikita.

You're gonna bloom.

Why are you doing this for me?

Because one day you're gonna do this

for somebody else.

That's the way it's supposed to work.

Okay.

Carla Bennett got me clean.

She was the only good thing
I had in my life till Division

made me who I am.

I'm not gonna let Percy hurt her.

Nikita, you know this is a trap.

What choice do I have?

He says he's gonna go after her
he's gonna go after her.

He's using you
to get her into the open.

What if he's already
on to Carla, and he's...

Waiting for us when we get there?

Oh, I hope he is, Michael.

I really, really do.

You don't owe this woman anything.

She abandoned you, she let you down.

No.

I let her down.

I just don't like to think about it.

What are you talking about?

Carla got me clean.

But I relapsed.

I was really sick, Michael.

I couldn't let go of my life.

I couldn't forgive.

And then the job.

The new job was too much.

So I ran.

I got high.

And I went back to find her.

I needed help.

There were a couple of cops there.

That's when things
got out of control.

You shot one of them,
that part I know.

Yeah.

Carla was on the run
from a drug charge

in another state.

She was an addict too.

Before.

After that night
she had to run again.

It was my fault.

Is that why you
haven't been looking for her?

I wanted Division dead and gone

so that my life

wouldn't affect her life.

Same way that you don't
want any of this

to come down on your son.

Okay.

If she's underground...

It's going to
be difficult to track her.

But we'll find her.

- How's this gonna work exactly?
- You'll see.

I'm glad you're
taking me up on this, Alex.

I just need to know one thing.

What's that?

There will be no more rogue behavior.

No running off half-cocked
to do this all by yourself.

We're working together.

Your reappearance as Alexandra Udinov

will raise a lot of questions.

Sonya and I are here
to help answer them.

Amanda's crafted
a cover story for you.

We just need to select
the right Division Agents

who can act as alibis...
Corroborate the details

to members of the press.

Help you sell the story.

New wardrobe.

One more suitable
for the lost daughter

of wealth and power
now fallen on hard times.

Nice headline.

Maybe I'll have the paparazzi
follow me around.

How's that gonna bring down Semak?

It will paralyze him.

Your very existence puts Semak
in a precarious position.

The only reason
he has control of Zetrov

is because the world believes
all of the Ustinovs are dead.

Everything he has
is rightfully yours.

I just want my mother away from him.

I don't want the company.

We know that.
Semak doesn't.

That's your power.

We cannot escape our destiny.

It calls to us.

And if we don't respond, it finds us.

As the lone survivor
of this horrific attack,

my destiny is to ensure
that this kind of tragedy

never befalls us again.

And yet I find myself
searching for strength.

I'm reminded
of one of my constituents.

A woman who helped
those less fortunate than her.

She used to say, "wildflowers
survive in the desert because

"they save their strength.

"They wait for the rain,
they reach for the sun.

And finally they bloom."

I would very much like to hear
from this wonderful woman again.

She has the strength
that will help me

face my destiny.

Thank you.

Clever, clever.

They brought you
in through the tunnels?

Everything went like clockwork.

It's been a bit of a madhouse here.

So you've had some calls?

Too many.

You make one appeal
to talk to a constituent,

the phone starts
ringing off the hook.

I can't thank you enough, Senator.

Wildflower has a special meaning
for the two of us.

She'll know it came from me.

It might take a while
but if Carla heard that phrase

she will call.

Good.

Could be a long day.

Senator, it's another call.

This one gave her name as Carla.

Carla?

Nikita?

- Is it...
- Yeah, it's me.

How are you?

I need to see you.
Can I see you, Carla?

Yeah.

It's important.

You name the time and the place.

Okay, I'll come to you.

Yeah, I know where that is.

Down by the tracks.
I'll see you there in an hour.

Okay.

Baltimore.

Security can take you up
the same way you came in.

We'll show ourselves out.

There's no telling
who might be following us.

Senator.

Baltimore.

Can't tail them,
don't know how they got in.

But I heard half the conversation.

We should be able to get close.

Carla! Carla!

- Unh!
- Carla!

- I'm right here.
- It's okay, just relax.

You're all right.

Listen, you're in a safe place.

Let me see your arms.
Let me see your arm.

Let me see your arm, sweetie.

Okay, you're all right.

- It's okay.
- Just relax, just relax.

Just breathe, just breathe,
just breathe.

Hey there, Wildflower.

Carla.

You look so good.

I never thought
I'd hear from you again.

Through a senator no less.

Hey, Carla, my name is Michael.

Is there a place
where we can all talk?

You said you live around here?

Yeah, I...

I live right over here.

That's odd.

- What is it?
- I'm not sure.

Well, what is it?

Senator Pierce.

Wildflowers survive in the desert

because they save their strength.

A phrase she used in a speech
tripped one of Amanda's alerts.

Amanda's?

On her personal task list.

It brought up a file
on a convicted criminal

named Carla Bennett.

Wait, wait...
This is a standing kill order.

Yeah, first on the list.
Even above Percy.

Amanda wants this woman very dead.

{pub}After that night you killed that cop,

things got really bad for me.

I had to go to Mexico.

I worked my way back to the states

a few years later,
but it's been tough

keeping my head above water

and it's even tougher these days.

Carla, I had no idea.

Heh, I had no idea about you.

It's a good thing
you're friends with a senator.

I only get three channels on this.

The gates house
is covered on all three.

We should go.

Yeah, Carla, it's cold out here.

Our car's over there.
Let's go.

What about my car?
I mean I can't leave it here.

Some people will take my stuff.

I have enough money
for you to start over.

Just come with us.

How are you doing so well?

We gotta move.

- How are you not in prison?
- I was.

You got out after seven years
for killing a cop?

Not exactly.

What, you broke out?
The Senator helped you?

I was on death row, Carla.

What?

How are you standing here?

- Was your case thrown out?
- It's complicated.

I gotta take this.

Yeah.

Hi, do you remember when you told me

about that woman who helped
get you clean, Carla Bennett?

I do.

There's a standing
kill order out on her.

Listen up.

Carla Bennett
is priority target number one.

Nikita she's on Amanda's
personal task list.

Above Percy, above you.

Why would Division want to kill her?

I gotta go.

You're Division?

- What?
- Don't lie to me.

- What the hell is Division?
- Government program.

Kill for them or you die.
It's how I got off death row.

I've been running from them
for four years.

I'm still running, and I thought

that they were
using you to get to me.

Oh, Michael.

She's on the top
of Amanda's kill list.

Amanda?

What happened to Percy?

So you are Division.

It wasn't called that
when I was there.

Nikita, I had no idea.

Come on.

It's Percy!

They're gonna try and flank us!

We gotta leapfrog back!

What about Carla?

They're not gonna hurt you again!

- Get down!
- Not 'cause of me.

Carla!

Carla!

Well, been a long time.

You wanted to talk to me?

- Very much so.
- Then drive.

And leave her
the hell out of this mess.

{pub}She was real.
She was, I knew her.

How?

Nikita, I haven't heard
the name Carla Bennett

before you told me.

And I've worked
at Division for ten years.

It's too big
of a coincidence, Michael.

The one person I know
who's farthest from Division?

It can't be a coincidence,
there has to be an answer.

Did she select me?

She set me up?

We didn't operate that way.

The selection process
for recruiting starts with

the Bureau of Prisons.

Yes, but if you know
what Division's looking for,

you can put something in their path.

I did it with Alex.

Maybe Division was after Carla.

You said she was
on the run when you knew her.

Maybe she was
running away from... them.

Yes, but why would
they find me and not...

The gun.

- What gun?
- That night.

It's all about that night.

Detective Edmonds
was shaking her down

for running
an unlicensed halfway house.

I had just lost the job
and gotten high again.

I can collect that, if you wish.

And we can avoid all that
paperwork down at city hall.

Carla, don't listen to him.

Carla?

- Nikita?
- Wait your turn, honey.

Eric, check her pockets,
see if she's holding.

I'm sorry.

- Don't touch me!
- Hey! Don't touch her!

- And Sammy was protecting me.
- I said, stand back!

Whoa, let's just be calm.
Come on, come on.

Let me just talk to her.

Nikita, what did you take?
What are you on?

- I said stand back.
- Shut up, you pig!

Can we get back to business, please?

You punk ass, bitch ass piglet!

I'm not gonna tell you again.

- Hey!
- Yaay!

Would you calm your partner down?

My guy's doing his job, all right?

- No, he's not!
- Nikita.

- Nikita, come here.
- Nikita, don't.

Sammy, he's not gonna do anything.

Don't touch her.

- Unh!
- Hey!

Oh, that's it.
You're going down.

Oh...

That's when everything went sideways.

Let me guess.

Detective Edmonds
wanted to cover it up.

Eric.

Eric!

He pulled a gun.

You hear me?

He pulled a gun,
you shot him in self-defense.

No.

- Right?
- No.

Look, you do not
want to play with me.

That's a good kid right there.
A family man!

And he shot...

You can find another tweaker
to tweak in your next town!

Nikita! Nikita!

- I am not in this.
- You are in this.

And you don't have a choice!

- Get out of the way.
- Hey!

- Get out of the way!
- Stop!

Nikita.

No, no.

No. No.

Come on.

She put her hand on the gun.

To stop me from killing Edmonds.

And it only takes
one fingerprint to hit the grid.

That's how she got back
on Division's radar.

And how you got on their radar
in the first place.

But it doesn't explain why
Percy wanted her alive.

Wait, what?

What do you mean?

Michael.

This wasn't a trap.

He didn't use Carla to find you.

He used you to find Carla.

But why?

Roan, what happened to your face?

You met her.

Good lord, look at you.

Look at you.

You're the captain of an empty ship.

Well, it's temporary.

Just tell me what you want, Percy.

To apologize, for starters.

For sending an agent
to my house to kill me

12 years ago?

I didn't do that.

No, no, Amanda did.

But you must have known about it.

What I know is what she told me.

That you were
gonna expose the program.

That is not the truth.

Then why did you run?

Why didn't you come to me?

Could I have?

I'm not gonna do this.

This is pointless.

We are paying the price
for the things that we did.

Then let's make it right.

We both know she's
always had it out for you.

What I don't understand

is why Amanda's so afraid of you.

She's afraid of me?

I don't know.

She must be holding a grudge.

Come on, you've been off the grid,

and even that
wasn't good enough for her.

The day after she put me in the cell,

she reinstated your kill order.

It was the next day, right?

That's a long way to go for a grudge.

A 911 call wasn't any help

in identifying the shooter.

Could you tell us your name, sir?

I'd like to remain anonymous.

Percy.

I don't understand.

Why would Percy be involved
with a Newark policeman?

He's digging up Nikita's past.

And that's connected
to this Carla Bennett person.

Who is she?

Find Percy.

I want all assets,
all surveillance focused

on Newark and the surrounding area.

Now.

If Carla was on the run
from Division when I met her,

she was already their enemy.

There's no way she would have
put me in there.

That's why she walked to Percy.

She was taking the hit for you,

she was trying to make things right.

Yeah, but she didn't take the hit,
she just got in the car.

Michael, I need answers.
I mean, I need them.

I know, I know.
And we're gonna get them.

- How?
- Find Percy.

How?

I don't know.

I just want to put a bullet in him.

Well, now you can.

His dead man switch is useless.

His dead man switch.

It's like a pacemaker, right?

It's designed to send out a signal?

Yeah.

Is there a way
we can hone in on that signal?

- Nikita.
- Use it like a tracker implant.

Lead us straight to him.

We already thought of that.

Birkhoff and I.
It won't work.

Why not?
It's just reverse ping.

Yes, the signal
can only be reverse-pinged

through Division satellite nodes.

So we'd have to be inside Division?

Inside operations.

- What's happening?
- Oh, you know.

Mind blowing tragedy.
Just another Tuesday.

- What?
- Never mind.

- I need your help.
- Did you find Carla?

No, you're gonna find her for us.

- By finding Percy.
- What?

You need to do it
from inside operations,

using Division satellites.

How am I gonna keep it from Amanda?

You're not.

{pub}So once I have the right frequency

I just reverse-ping it?

That's it.

This is very impressive, Alex.

How did you come up with it?

You know all that time
Percy made me spend with him

in his cell?

While he was rattling on
I was dreaming up ways

to shut him up.

I wanted to use the trigger
to short circuit his heart

but I knew that wouldn't work
so I thought up this.

Are we sure he even has a heart?

I'm getting a signal.

Industrial sector,
corner of Rayford and commerce.

Rayford and commerce.

Yes, on the northeast corner.

Send in the strike team immediately.

How long was Nikita in the program?

I wanna know what happened to her.

- Later.
- Now.

You first.

What about Amanda?

Come on.

Don't you want your life back?

I don't know.

You have changed.

No, I mean I don't know why

Amanda tried having me killed.

Well, she's a woman with secrets.

You must have discovered something.

I know one day
something changed, but...

I don't know what triggered it.

Think.

I don't know what.

Why would I lie?

I scored some plans
from the hall of records.

There's a foreman's office

in the middle of the factory floor.

If I had Carla
that's where I'd keep her.

You hear the way she asked about him?

Like they were old friends.

Well, we're here to get answers,
not jump to conclusions.

Careful what you wish for.

If there's one thing I know...

The truth can set you free.

Or put you in a whole new prison.

Looks like Percy's car.

Nikita, I know
you have a lot of questions

but don't forget.

Carla did save you.

And if it wasn't for her...

You and I would never have met.

There they are.

Those aren't grab teams, Michael.

Yeah, I know.

We got this.

Sir, me countermeasures just logged

what looked like a Division
satellite node snooping around.

They appear to have pinged
a device in this room.

All this stuff is dead.
My computer's secure.

She's clean.

Might have been a reverse-ping, sir.

Then it's not a device, it's me.

Took care of the car?

- Yes, sir.
- All right, then move out.

Team One, disable the evac car.

No way they're getting out of here.

That was quick.

Sir, do you copy?

- Go ahead.
- It's Division.

The main circuit's been cut.

Teams must already be inside.

- What are you doing?
- Saving your life.

Get down.

Okay, go!

Let her go!

You won't do this.

No, you're right.

No!

{pub}This is Amanda.

Don't bother tracking
the dead man switch.

We're jamming it now.

Congratulations.

Not the first time
I've shut you out, huh?

What do you want, Percy?

To share.

As you may know, I ran into
an old friend of ours today

who is still very pissed off at you.

Some people just
don't know when to let go.

You're pulling my leg, right?

You can talk all you want,
Percy, but the fact is

I'm here and you're out there.

Division is mine

and there's not a thing
you can do about it.

Yeah, well maybe Nikita can.

She's with her now.

Nighty night.

Tell me again, Alex.

Tell me again why you're doing this.

To save my mother.

Do you love her?

Of course.

I don't really know her,

and that's something
that I wanna change.

This is not just a mission for you.

Confronting a ghost
from your past is never easy.

You have to be willing
to do whatever it takes.

You speak from experience?

Remember, you won't be alone.

And I don't just mean Division.

I'll be with you.

No matter what comes.

Good to know.

I told you you'd
save somebody else someday.

Nikita, I know you
have a lot of questions.

I have spent so much time on the run.

Just lost in my own head.

And then to see you.

When you told me
that you were in Division,

I couldn't believe it.

I thought it was a trick.

And then I couldn't
accept the coincidence.

But then I remembered

there are no coincidences.

I don't care...

About your philosophy, Carla.

I want the truth.

The truth is...

This is a nightmare for me.

You being involved in this

and me being the cause.

How could I have ever
wanted this for you, Nikita?

All I ever wanted to do
was to help you.

But what's so crazy

is that you didn't just survive

in the desert, you thrived.

I mean, when I last saw you
you couldn't even

hold down a job.

Stop.

Nikita, just listen to me.

What I'm trying to tell you

is that everything
that has happened to you

is a gift.

No, more than that.

I believe it's destiny.

Our destiny.

All right, that's enough.

I don't believe a word you're saying.

I was at Division for ten years.

I never heard of you.

When Nikita escaped,
Percy and Amanda said

she was the first to ever escape.

And that's true.

Because I wasn't in the program.

I created it.
