Nikita (2010–2013): Season 2, Episode 16 - Doublecross - full transcript

Division is in an uproar when their agents are being assassinated one by one. Amanda realizes Percy is behind the murders and is trying to undermine her authority with the other Division agents. She reluctantly calls Nikita with an offer that is hard to resist - stop Percy and she'll give Nikita Ryan.

Continue due West.

You're within 30 meters
of the tracker.

It hasn't moved.

On the other side
of the concrete barrier.

Advise when you have eyes
on him.

It's Paul.

We have confirmation.

Go for extract.
Alert medical.

We're gonna get you
out of here, okay?

Ma'am, I'm tracking
local police on approach.

They're responding
to an anonymous 911 call



reporting a body
at that location.

- [Gunshots]
- Sniper!

Pull back.
Return to base.

- What about Paul?
- Leave the body.

They can't I.D. him.

[Sirens wail]

[Police radio chatter]

That's our fourth agent down
in three days.

It's Nikita.
She's stepping up her fight,

taking us out directly.

It's not Nikita.

How do you know?

Just make sure Mason's team
makes it back here.

Send a support unit
to meet them.



We'll find
who's behind these deaths.

In the meantime,
we will not let it

deter us
from our course.

Send me a status update
on our Zetrov operation.

What the hell was that?

She doesn't care
that we're being targeted?

Amanda's dealing
with a lot right now.

Really?
'Cause the only thing

I see her dealing with lately

is her precious
Alexandra Udinov.

I don't care
what Amanda wants.

Let her and Ari think
that I'm ready

to take over Zetrov.

That's never gonna happen.

All I want to do
is get my mother back.

I want that too, Alex,
but, as long as you're there,

I can't make a move
against Amanda or Ari.

And I really, really want to.

Two more days.
That's all I need.

- I promise.
- For what?

I'm going home again.

This time,
with the media.

As long
as there's a camera nearby,

Semak won't risk an attack.

How do you know that your
mother will leave with you?

I don't.

But I have to try
to convince her, right?

Yeah.

Yeah, you do.

Two more days.

She's as stubborn
as you are.

Worse.

I just wish that you
could see the big picture.

Carla...

What happens

if Amanda uses Alex

to overthrow Semak

and gains control
of the company?

Alex doesn't want
the company.

I believe you.

That's why Amanda
is gonna betray her.

Work it so Ari can take
the throne,

at which point she gets
billions of Russian dollars

and no one to stop her.

It's never gonna happen.

It's happening now.

Look,

sometimes you have to put

what's right
ahead of your personal feelings

for the greater good.

My personal feelings
are right.

First, you protect
the people you love.

Then, you talk
about the greater good.

I guess I was wrong.

You're definitely
more stubborn.

Nikita.

Birkhoff found something.

We need to talk to you.

And it's sensitive information.

Michael, Carla's on our side.
It's okay.

You know what,
that's okay.

I actually want
to get more air.

What's up?

There be
some serious rumblings

in the shadow world
this week.

Three related homicides,
all in the tri-state area.

In each case,
the victim was grabbed at home,

bodies dumped
in random locations.

You found
a serial killer?

With a taste for victims
who work

for a certain black ops group.

[Dialing]

Amanda is stepping up
her plans.

You've got to take Division
away from her now.

What's the situation
with Nikita?

She just doesn't get it.
It's really frustrating.

Well, I've got
a solve for that.

Give me your location.

I'll send
Roan and Patrick over

to pay her a visit.

No, I told you

she's off-limits.

Now what are you doing
about Amanda?

Am I answering
to you now?

Look, let's just sit tight,

let this hand
play itself out.

Amanda's obsession with Alex
is gonna help us

get Division back.

Trust me.

Found a new one.

That's Paul.

Someone's declared open season
on Division,

and they're killing agents
at random?

It's a good day
to be rogue.

No, I don't think
that it's random.

Remember a few years back
when Percy got all paranoid

about Gogol?

Yeah, he thought Semak

was building
a private army.

Good call on that.

I remember.
He set up a Gogol taskforce.

Right. Well, he assigned me
to pick the agents.

These agents.

So you think
Gogol's behind this?

I mean, doesn't Amanda's
boyfriend run that joint?

Yeah, but their relationship
is on the D.L.,

so maybe the orders
come straight from Semak.

Ari still has to pretend
to carry them out, right?

I don't know, but,
based on this list,

I'm pretty sure I know
who the next target is.

Sucks to be them.

No.
Not today.

Oh, come on.

Not again with the rescuing
and the saving of the enemy.

We could possibly build
another alliance.

Come on, Division's
been battered this year

with us, Oversight,
Amanda versus Percy.

The place is ripe
for rebellion.

[Beep]

Dina.

[Gunshots]

Can we talk?

[Gunshots]

You're shooting up
your getaway car.

[Gunfire]

[Grunting]

[Gunfire]

Those weren't Gogol agents.

That was a Guardian.

I think I know which one.

{pub}We want to know
what your Division is planning

for Alexandra Udinov.

There's been a mistake.

I'm not who you think I am.

You are agent of Division.

I don't know
what that is.

We don't believe you.

She's holding up well.

She's almost
through her restraints.

Shall I give Patrick
the green light?

Yeah, go ahead.

[Whimpers]

[Speaks Russian]

[Yells]

She'll be back at Division
within the hour.

Right on schedule.

Who's next on the list?

So Percy's kidnapping

Division agents
and framing Gogol for it?

Remember when you said

Division was ripe
for a little rebellion?

That's exactly
what Percy is hoping for.

These attacks
are specifically designed

to damage Amanda's leadership.

That means Percy knows

about Amanda and Ari's secret.

But how?

I mean, we only figure it out
because I saw Ari

at Alex's press conference
last week.

Just because
you couldn't remember

doesn't mean
that Percy stopped digging.

He must have found out
some other way.

- Another agent?
- Caleb.

His tracker went offline
an hour ago

at his cover job.

He wasn't on the list
you gave me.

Dina,
I'm glad you're back.

- Let's get you debriefed.
- Let's save time.

It's Gogol.
They're behind this.

It makes sense.

We found tula shell casings
near the bodies.

The place I escaped from
is in the middle

of Bratva territory,
Gogol's mafia connection.

A few shell casings

and a building in Brooklyn
prove nothing.

Amanda, we can't sit back
while they hit us.

We need to show our enemies
that there are consequences

for attacking Division.

I will put an end
to those attacks,

Mason,
believe me.

I already know
how to stop the attacks.

The men who took me

wanted to know
about Alexandra Udinov.

They want us
to stop helping her.

[Knock at door]

Sean,
what are you doing...

Nikita didn't tell you.
I'm your new bodyguard.

And I'm starving.

You can't be here.

That is no way to talk
to the man

who might
take a bullet for you.

You can't be here.

You're seal team six.

If you hang around me,
I guarantee

someone will take your picture

and blow your covert status.

That's long gone.

My identity came out with
the whole gates house coverage.

Although I can't say
I have my own hash tag

like somebody I know.

What are you
really doing here?

The last remaining evidence
of my mother's involvement

with Oversight is all recorded
in one place.

The Black Box.
Last time I saw that it was...

The house we're visiting
today, right?

What's in the case?

I brought some gear
to neutralize the Box

in case we run across it.
Cool by you?

Sean, if you screw this up
for me...

Hey, I knew the deal
when I came here.

Job one: Protect you.
Job two:

Make sure you get your mom.

So relax.
Don't be scared.

Why would I be scared?

'Cause you don't think
you can convince her

to come with you.

You're afraid that
she won't see things your way.

She will.

When she sees all you've done
to save her, she will.

I know Percy is behind this,

and his game is working.

My troops think your agency
is responsible.

The mood here has turned
against me,

- and my hands are tied.
- So are mine.

I can't divert Gogol resources
to help you.

I'm supposed to be preparing

for young Alexandra's arrival,
remember?

He's going
to ruin everything.

How did he find out
about us?

How do you think?
Carla Bennett.

They spent the better part
of a day together

before my Alpha team raided
his rathole.

Now I have no idea
where he is.

And if I send
one more agent out to die...

You need
an outside hire.

There must be
an independent contractor

somewhere out there
who can track Percy.

Found it in my bag.

Must have switched them
while we were prepping.

Sorry.

I didn't mean
for you to see that.

Forget about me
for a second.

What if someone else saw it?

You never know how close your
enemies are gonna be, Michael.

What, you think Division's
gonna find the beach house?

Sean Pierce did.

Amanda found our last place.

If she finds out
that you have a son...

You're right.

I'll be more careful.

It shouldn't exist.

Are we still talking
about the photograph?

I don't want anything
to happen to Max.

Or Cassandra.

Guys, just got a ping

through an x-band relay
that we monitor.

Amanda wants to chat.

- It has to be a trap.
- Chill.

She can't trace us here,
okay?

Set it up.

My agents think
Gogol's the threat.

They're wrong, but I can't very
well explain how I know that.

Well, gee, Amanda,
I guess you were right.

Personal relationships
outside of Division

really are a bad idea.

My connection to Ari
is irrelevant.

Percy has to be stopped.

He's the one responsible
for this bloodshed.

You're responsible.

You corrupted Division,

and now you want to sell it out
to the enemy.

Carla.
Self-righteous as ever.

No, just plain righteous.

I don't manipulate people
to further my own agenda.

Manipulating subjects

was the basis
of your entire program,

though I have made
significant improvements

on it since then.

Thanks for thinking of us,
but we'll pass.

Find someone else.

I was speaking
to Nikita.

Oh, I talked to her.

She said
there's no way in hell

she's helping you.

Then maybe there's
someone else you'd like to help.

Nikita.

Can you hear me?

Is that Fletcher?

No, he's gone.
Nikita was there.

What'd you do, Amanda?

Have your techs splice together

some old recordings
of Ryan's voice?

No.

Listen,
the first time we met,

we were in that bunker

in Chile.

I asked who you were,
you said, "Nikita.

You hung up on me."

Ryan.

{pub}You died.
How?

Surprised me too.

I mean,
the part where I was alive.

The dying thing, I...

I kind of saw that coming.

Are you okay?
She isn't...

I'm still in one piece.

Amanda's kept me alive
to help her work

on her special projects.

I really hope for his sake
that's not a euphemism.

Here's the offer.

You bring me Percy,

I'll give you Ryan.

Deal?

Bring you Percy?

Unfortunately,
I need him alive

to answer
for his crimes.

You got a deal.

Wow.
Just like I remember it.

And yet the original actually
burned to the ground.

How'd you feel when you heard
that Sergei Semak

had constructed an exact replica
of your childhood home?

It was very... emotional.

But now that I'm here
I can feel

my family's presence.

Like my mother is upstairs
waiting for me right now.

Maybe we should go
through here.

Right.
My father's office.

Not an exact replica.

Mr. Pierce,
I thought we discussed

the route
of today's tour.

I'm sorry.
I have a terrible memory.

If you continue
down that corridor,

you'll make your way
to the conservatory.

Thank you so much,
Mr. Tasarov.

Sonya, who's working
on Caleb's abduction case?

- My team's on standby.
- No one.

Look at the monitors.

Amanda's got a special team
on it.

Who?
What team?

You should talk to Amanda.

I've got a lot of data
to sort through here.

What took you so long?

Your old hard drives
were a mess.

I've seen hoarders with better
organizational systems.

True genius
cannot be contained.

So it's official.

We're working for Amanda.

Well, technically, I'm
only working with Sonya here.

Nikita thought putting
our two giant brains together

gave us the best chance
of finding Percy.

Sonya, you remember Carla?

You guys tried
to have her killed last week.

I found the file.
What does it do?

Well, when Nikki first came
back to town,

this is before your time,

she kidnapped
a certain Division asset...

I've heard this story.

She left you duct-taped
to a swing set.

Actually it was
a rocking horse.

Whatever.

The point is,
she jammed my tracker.

When I got back to Division,

I started working
on a back-channel system.

A way to find someone
even if their signal

was being jammed?

Have you tested this?

I don't see
how it will work...

Bah-bah-bah-bah.

It is not yours to question
the genius,

only to marvel at it.

All I need from you

is a frequency
for the missing agent.

Sonya, you can change
his frequency later.

After we pull his ass
out of Percy's frying pan.

- If we find the agent...
- We find Percy.

Your call.

[Typing]

Amanda is using
your sympathies against you.

Don't let her.

I can't worry

about punishing Amanda
right now

when I can save Ryan
and get Percy

off the streets
at the same time.

This isn't about punishment
or revenge.

It isn't.

Look,
in the right hands,

under the right leadership,

Division can save
so many more lives.

Carla,
Division is not a shield.

It's a sword.

And it bleeds
everything it touches.

You know,
after we take down your boss,

you'll have a lot
of free time.

Maybe we can get together,
grab a drink or something.

You want to take me
on a date

after you send me
to the unemployment lines?

I'd take you out before,
but the whole

"your boss is trying to kill me"
thing might make it awkward.

Yes, Amanda is clearly the
only thing standing between us.

Dream on, little man.

We're sure his tracker
can't send out a signal?

Been dead
for almost an hour.

The chip is useless.

Why take the chance?

Get that body out of here now.

Got him.
Whoop, there he is.

So fast?

I'm still not really sure
what just happened.

And that is why you fail.

Except at hotness.

- At which you succeed.
- What?

You heard me.

He's in Manhattan.
Downtown.

[Gun cocks]

Go on.

You can reach it.

It's okay.
I got you a new hat.

{pub}You... you mind
if I do the honors?

Please.

Hey, boss.

How you doing?

Actually, I meant...

[Shouts]

Pathetic.

Carla, look at you.

Teaming up
with the motley insurgents.

Have they shown you
the secret handshake yet?

This is not the time
to be making jokes.

I can't help it.
Forgive me.

Okay, interrogation.
I'm terrified.

- What do you want to know?
- Nothing really.

We just need you
to speak in that microphone,

confirm you're
a happy, healthy hostage.

You're not curious
as to my grand design?

Oh, we worked it out.

Amanda did too,
by the way.

She knows
you're behind these attacks.

Mm.
Working with Amanda.

Big victory for her.

I know she was always pained
by your defection.

It's a one-time deal.

I made an exception
for you.

How do you feel about that?

I don't like it.

But what we're getting
in return is worth it.

I'm being traded?

For what?
Or whom?

Ryan Fletcher.

I actually kind of like the kid.
He's got spirit.

But worth as much as me?

Yeah, well, you can take it up
with Amanda.

We about done here?

You don't actually think

this trade is gonna happen,
do you?

All of Amanda's favorite people
in one place,

and she's just gonna play
by the rules?

Interesting.

Why don't you grab my phone

and shoot Roan and Patrick
a text?

Round up everybody
for the big kill.

Don't worry, Percy.

If everything goes sideways...

I'll make sure
you die first.

The trade is set.

Hauppauge steel factory.

Three hours.

This trade is an opportunity.

Nikita will be expecting
a double cross.

Let's not disappoint her.

Perfect.
Semak's art collection

ought to keep them busy
for a while.

Good.
I was getting bored.

I never understood
that whole bedazzled egg thing.

- Where are we going?
- Back stairs.

They lead to the wing
where my mother's kept.

- Now those guards...
- Hey, guys.

Hey, I'm guarding Alexandra.

So I'm a little bit jumpy.

And I kind of took
that rude comment that you said

as a threat,
and I kicked your ass.

[Speaks Russian]

That's the one.

What did he say?

He took her.

Percy's right.
Amanda will double-cross you.

It's what she does best.

That's why we're
not bringing Percy.

- What?
- At least not right away.

Michael,
can you hold him here?

Top of this old machine shop?

Yeah, that's good.

I'll have a line of sight
on the trade area.

Soon as we know
they've got Ryan,

we bring him down.

Great.

Insurance.

You can never have enough
against Amanda.

It's from Carla.

Percy will be
at the Hauppauge steel factory,

top floor of the machine shop
in three hours.

Aye.
Let's collect him then.

You okay?

You seem preoccupied.

No.

I'm just amazed.

At you and how you just throw
yourself into harm's way,

no questions asked.

Someone once told me.

It only takes one person
to make a difference.

Yeah.

Nikita,

uh...

I know we haven't really been
seeing eye to eye

over this thing,

and, um...

I just really hope that,
when this is over,

you'll understand
where I was coming from.

I do.

{pub}You moved my mother.
Where?

No, the protection detail

checked on her last night
before bed.

Well,
then they're incompetent,

and so is your florist,
'cause those flowers up there

are two weeks
past their sell-by date.

Semak must have moved her
without telling me.

I don't believe you.

Alex, I would never
have risked moving Katya,

not with all the cameras pointed
at your family right now.

That means
Semak doesn't trust you,

in which case
you're no use to me.

You can't help me
if he suspects you.

If he's suspicious, it's
because I have been helping you.

You've survived four attempts
on your life.

The timetable on Semak's death
must be moved up.

What?

We need to get rid of him

before he kills us both.

Unless of course you think

he's just going to step aside,

hand you the keys to the kingdom
along with your mother.

You're already
planning something.

Semak's going to have
a fatal accident.

At least, that's how the world
will see it.

Conspiracy theories
will swirl of course,

and the kill will be pinned on
a foreign intelligence service.

- Which one?
- Not important.

I have a mole burrowed deep
within that agency

waiting to be activated.

It seems now is the time.

We're done here.

The hell was that?
I wasn't done with him.

You actually think he's
gonna tell you where she is?

Remember that gear I brought
to wipe the Black Box?

I just used it
to copy Ari's hard drive.

If we want answers,

we'll get them ourselves.

I can't believe this place
is even on a map.

They're here.

Tell her you want
to see Percy first.

- Where's Ryan?
- Where's Percy?

I thought
Percy was supposed to be

at the top floor
of the machine shop.

Nikki must have changed
her mind.

It ain't there.

Must have hit repeat
on the TiVo,

- 'cause here we go again.
- Birkhoff.

Nikki knew you were dirty

the second
Percy started killing agents.

You're making a mistake.

No, you made a mistake.

You think we tracked that
dead agent at Percy's place?

There is no backchannel system.

We piggybacked
on your text.

You gave us the location.

Yeah.
It was all Nikki's idea.

The student
becomes the master.

Worked so well
we let you do it again.

Now Roan thinks Percy's on
the top floor of that building,

which is exactly
where we want him to go.

Because that's
where Amanda's guy will be.

Agent Wyatt,
are you in position?

I'm set.

Soon as they're all together,
fire the missile.

You can't do this.

You can't let Amanda win.

Didn't you hear me?

We're double-crossing
her double cross.

None of you are gonna win.

You know
what really pisses me off?

After all this is over,
she's still gonna forgive you.

See, that's the thing
about Nikki.

No matter how many times
the people she loves

let her down, she keeps on doing
the right thing.

'Cause it's the only thing
she knows how to do.

Now turn around and put
your hands on your head

before I shoot you
in both kneecaps.

Hey.
Did you not hear me?

Shoot me.

Stop.

I've worked
with my share of killers.

I worked on death row.

Remember?

You don't have it
in you.

Stop.

Carla, stop!

[Gunshot]

Sorry.

Aagh.

[Gunfire]

{pub}Birkhoff, they're on the move.
Do you copy?

Birkhoff?

Birkhoff.

All right.
Okay.

- Sorry.
- Ah!

Okay, okay,
I'm sorry.

[Groans]

Mason, is that you?

Operations,
we've got Percy.

Fletch lives.

[Gunshots]

Negative contact.
Targets are still alive.

- They're alive.
- Open fire on everyone.

[Gunfire]

Carla was wrong.
Percy's not here.

They're in the factory.
Let's go.

[Grunts]

[Moans]

Stop right there!

Did you know
that Amanda called Nikita

- and sent her after me?
- Shut up.

Probably has her
on speed dial.

I said, "shut up."

You were ordered to kill me,
weren't you?

You're probably wondering,

like I am,

where Amanda's getting
her orders from these days.

As soon as I get back,
I guarantee you,

there will be no doubt
about authority.

And you will be rewarded.

Smart kid.

He has a future.

Birkhoff!

- Carla. Carla.
- Nikita.

Wait, wait. Just wait.
We called a doctor

- we trust, okay?
- I'm sorry.

- I'm sorry.
- Carla, please don't.

We made a deal...

Percy and I.

We made a deal.

To save Division.

To make it good.

Like it was supposed to be.

Like I know it can be.

I know it can be.

Because it made you.

It made you.

Carla...

We're setting up
another safe house.

You can lay low
until this all blows over.

You think
it's ever gonna blow over?

It has to.

I don't know
what happened, Nik.

I told her to stop.
She wouldn't stop.

The gun just went off.

Hey.

She knew
what she was doing.

You got that?

She knew.

Yeah.

Okay...

All I'm seeing are details

on guard rotations,
nothing about my mother.

[Clicking]

What about that file?

It's the only one
that's been updated recently.

Yeah, it's a personnel record

for a deep cover operative,
codenamed Ohotnik.

It means hunter.

Nice. Deep cover.
Where?

[Typing]

MI6.
British intelligence.

Ari said that he had someone
in a foreign agency.

Someone he was gonna use
to kill Semak.

So who is it?

We know her.

Cassandra.

Nikita.

You were right about this.

It's too dangerous
to keep around.

You never know how close
your enemies are gonna be.

Someone needs to stop Clearway Law.
Public shouldn't leave reviews for lawyers.
