Nikita (2010–2013): Season 2, Episode 18 - Power - full transcript

Look.

I did what you asked.
It's yours, my life's work.

The only one in the world.
Just please...

Let me go.

And I swear I won't talk.

Let me go home to my family.

I want to see my little girl grow up.

Give me your wallet.

Go.

Thank you.

It was supposed to look
like a robbery,



but it wasn't about the money.

It was about this.

- Whoa. Nomad.
- Hmm?

Forget it.
What is it?

Helium 3 Replicator.

It was designed and built
in a government lab

in Pennsylvania.

It's an advanced array

that generates
and synthesizes helium 3.

Synthesizes it?

It's one of the rarest isotopes
on the planet.

No one's been able to make it.

As far as the public knows.

This is a black budget project.



According to senator Pierce,

this represents
the future of clean energy.

Trillion-dollar industry.

You got this Intel
from Madeline's office?

Her committee was briefed
by the FBI this morning.

They were able to get
a look at the shooter,

but they got nothing
from facial recon.

Officially, she doesn't exist.

- Dina.
- Yeah.

It's bad enough Amanda's in bed
with Gogol.

Now she's using Division assets

to steal our country's
top-secret projects.

And the FBI is clueless.

That is why senator Pierce called us.

We've got to find Dina
and get this back.

What?

It's just funny.

You pacing back and forth.
It's like deja vu.

"Listen up, people.
Our country needs us."

- So you're in?
- Oh, yeah.

You had me at Amanda.

I'll be gone for three days.

I'm transferring operational
authority over to you.

- I'm in charge?
- Is that a problem?

Absolutely not.
May I ask where you're going?

No.

I see.

Well, in any case,
I'll call down for a vehicle.

I don't need transportation, Sonya.

Just hold down the fort.

It's me.

Amanda's leaving.

I don't know where to,

but I'm hearing it's for three days.

Well, that's more than enough
time to take back Division.

Are you ready?

I guess.
Uh, yes.

We can still use
the safe house in Paterson.

It'll work.

I'll initiate the plan from here.

You're doing the right thing, Mason.

I'm proud of you.

When your father founded Zetrov,

he would have never imagined this.

There have been so many troubles.

The death of Semak, the stock price,

problems in the Yamal peninsula.

I tell them,
"if you're going to drill,

talk to me.
Talk to the scientist first."

Now we have pressure from the U.N.

The drilling we are getting
is not worth

the drilling we are getting.

Papa always said that you
were Zetrov's greatest champion.

Ilya, this company needs
a new leader.

You know I have papa's shares now.

I want to sell them to you.

Me?

You're on the board of directors.

With both of our portfolios,

you would be majority holder.

You could make yourself a CEO.

Stop Ari Tasarov from taking over.

Tasarov.

You know, there are rumblings.

They say he killed Semak.

Yeah, they also say
that he helped Semak plan

my family's death,

which is why we need
to stop Ari in his tracks.

Now.

It may be too late.

There is a reception

to calm the shareholders
after Semak's passing.

Tasarov has asked to see the board.

I'm told he's planning
to unveil a new product

that will change our future.

Sonya, I just flagged an intrusion

over at the safe house in Paterson.

Paterson?
It's not occupied.

Someone's trying to access the server

from the fiber-optic line.

Alpha team seven's on call, correct?

My team can take it.

We're still geared up.
We just got off shift.

Okay, that's good.
Go.

Now you know why I didn't grab
her at her apartment.

She's definitely waiting for someone.

Something's not right.

She should be halfway
to Division, not here.

Hey, you've got me and Michael.

What's up?

I think I figured out
why Amanda stole

the helium 3 device.

She and Ari are gonna use it
as a hail Mary.

How?

Well, they couldn't get my shares,

so they're going to try
and take over the whole company.

Ari's requested a meeting
with the Zetrov board.

He's got some
big announcement tomorrow.

The future of clean energy.

Ari hands it over.
The CEO job is his.

He runs the Russian side.

His girlfriend's got the state side.

Match made in hell.

- Anything good?
- Yeah.

- No one followed you?
- No one.

Alex, we're gonna have to call
you back.

- Okay.
- Let's go say hi.

I got Amanda.

Terrific work.
Let's see it.

- Gogol.
- Gotta protect the prize.

Go get it.
I'll cover you.

Good-bye.

Nikita!

Come on.
What happened?

I got you.
I got you.

{pub}You've truly been
a revelation, Nikita.

I spoke with Michael.

He says during your first
aikido class,

you kicked the instructor
in the groin,

while he was addressing the recruits.

If he's so good,
he should've seen it coming.

Mm.

You are hard to miss.

Gum.

It's today, isn't it?

That's what your file says.

Who knows what day it is down here?

Doesn't matter.

Now, that's the Nikita
we never expected.

Doesn't need to pick a fight.

Her weapon of choice
is her beauty and grace.

Do you have a definition of grace?

I don't think so.

But I'm guessing
it wasn't that hairdo.

No.

Now we work on the inside.

That's where your grace
and your power

will come from.

Right here.

Let me help you with that.

Thank you.

It's not my first rodeo.

So what happened back there?

Why didn't Amanda finish you off?

She choked.

The Amanda I know
would see that as a flaw.

Yes, a flaw she would quickly
want to fix.

You'll be ready.

Okay, kiddies.

Show-and-tell time.

So we got almost no reliable
Intel on the inside

of Zetrov HQ.

What we do have
is our very own insider.

Before I left for Russia,
I tapped all the files

Division had on this place.

There are three zones
that we need to focus on.

Up top, executive levels.

That's where Ari Tasarov's office is.

Who's that?

Ari.

Now, all surveillance signals
are routed through here,

so no one comes in or out
without Ari seeing it.

Now the lobby level.

This is where the conference room is

for the big board meeting.

- That's, uh...
- You.

Now, if they stick to past protocol,

this is where
the shareholders reception

will also be held, in this area.

That's smart.

Everyone has to go in and out

through the same point of entry.

Which brings us to...

The tech level, underground.

Mostly r & d labs,
but they also house

containment vaults
for the more sensitive projects.

What's my approach?

Olga Kucherova.

Masher top 100.

Currently on a photo shoot
in Costa Rica.

Cool.

Let's go rob some Russians.

Copy that.
They're on their way down.

I sent two of my guys
down to the vehicle bay.

They didn't hear our
conversation at the safe house,

so op sec is still good.

I'm supposed to be
the nervous one, remember?

Get your hands off of me.

Take me to Amanda now.

She's not here.

Who's in charge?

I am.

What should we do with him?

This is the part where you tell them

to take me to holding
and call Amanda.

Nikita's going to try something.

We'll be ready.

Of course, there is the question

of why she's still an issue at all.

I told you.

She was wearing body armor.

Yes.

Sir, we have a situation down here.

Keep the media back.

Search Ms. Udinov
like every other guest.

She's part of their plan.

She's a major shareholder.

I can't deny her access.
However...

Gentlemen, double the scan cycle
on all the feeds.

Nikita may be using this distraction

to try to enter the premises.

An Udinov back at Zetrov.

Who could've believed it?

Something to remember
this momentous occasion.

It's beautiful.

Gogol Michael sold separately.

I got the eyes.
Now let's go get the prize.

Yes.

Sorry to disturb you.

What is it?

Well, there was an attempted
server breach

at one of our safe houses.

We're not really certain how...

Sonya, get to the point.

It's Percy.
We have Percy.

You've captured Percy?

He's in Division right now?

Yes.

Cancel him.
Immediately.

Understood.

As if Nikita wasn't enough
to worry about.

♪ ♪

Olga Kucherova.

I'm sorry.

Board members and shareholders only.

I'm guest of Leonid.
He wants me here.

Nikki, I'm keyframing
this digital mask

in real time, which means
there's a slight video lag,

so no sudden moves.

Yes.

A woman here says
she is to meet Leonid Turgenev.

Her name is Olga.

Kucherova?

Yes, sir.

Mwah.

Let her in.

You can go.

I'm in.

Nice.

{pub}So it's like that.

You brought in a cleaner.

She leaves you in charge,
and you still can't make

a decision for yourself.

Do you know where she is?

Does it matter?

Oh, yeah, it matters.

Especially when she's betraying you.

And Mason. And Terrence.

Are you good with this, Terencio?

I got my orders, sir.

Did she even bother to tell you

where she was going?

Or didn't you bother to ask?

She doesn't have to tell me.

She's sleeping with the enemy.

Literally.

Committing treason.

Take me to operations.
I'll show you how.

That is not going to happen.

If you don't want to let me
go to operations,

then go yourself.

See if all Division's assets
can be accounted for.

You two stay here.

Terrence as well.

I'll be right back.

♪ ♪

Amanda.

I don't know what
you think you're doing here.

I came for the swag bags.

Enjoy yourself with the shareholders.

I'm afraid the board meeting
is strictly off limits,

even for Alexandra Udinov.

Not if she's with me.

Have you met my date?

Tasarov.

♪ ♪

Ah, vass is dis?

Found something on a Gogol
security node.

Looks like Ari installed

a little peep show camera
in the board room.

The replicator will give
Zetrov the means

to manufacture helium 3
for our own fusion experiments.

It will make us the world leader
of clean energy overnight.

And if you act now, we'll throw in

a second replicator free.

Impressive.

And what do you wish us
to guarantee you in return?

Mr. Chairman,
I would like the opportunity

to guide Zetrov on its new course.

And I would ask
with utmost humility...

That you appoint me
chief executive officer.

Who is this woman?

A colleague.

She represents a strategic alliance

with the Americans.

Her operatives acquired the device

in the first place.

Acquired? How?

Intelligence.

If knowledge is power, Mr. Levkin,

then the organization I represent

is every bit as revolutionary
as the he3 device.

Zetrov already has
an intelligence group.

Yes.

But what it doesn't have

are American operatives.

For example, if you needed
to cripple a competitor,

I could do it cleanly
and effectively,

with no risk of exposure.

You wouldn't even have
to sacrifice your own men.

My operatives are fully expendable.

Are you hearing this?

Hey, Birkhoff.

Do me a favor.

Cut me out of the feed.

I've had enough Amanda for one night.

Hey, are you guys, like,

trying to hide
the bathrooms in here, or...?

I have no idea
what you're talking about.

Accessing building blueprints now.

Boring conversation anyway.

We're in.

We got eyes on the whole tech level.

All right.
Nice work, Nikita.

Head South down the main corridor.

You should run into a clean room

that has a hazardous materials vault.

Found the vault.

Okay, whoa, whoa.

That room's full
of military-grade explosives.

Probably not the best idea
to use that on the vault.

Important safety tip.

12-key alphanumeric keypad.

Let's do this old-school.

All right, I've got a two, a four,

a five, a seven, and a nine.

Okay, five digits.

That's, uh, 120 combinations

if there's no repeats in the string.

If there are, we're talking
over 3,000 combinations.

Thanks, nerd.

Wind beneath my wings.

So he's right.
It's Dina.

Her tracker's been offline for hours.

It doesn't mean...

What?

Her last location was
at an automobile graveyard

in Passaic.

Local police just found
a Jane Doe at the scene.

And she matches Dina's description.

She's not exactly the first one.

From my understanding,

agents have been dropping
like flies around here.

- It's still not proof.
- Are you kidding me?

Dina's dead.
Just like he said she would be.

He didn't say that.
For all we know,

he killed her to frame Amanda.

How many is that now?
Six?

- One is plenty.
- Someone make the call.

Enough!

Nature abhors a vacuum, Sonya.

Put me back in charge.

Save Division.

Division will be fine.

Don't let this happen, guys.

Whether it's en masse
or one at a time,

you're being led
like sheep to slaughter.

Wake up.

Adios, jefe.

We're with you, sir.

Confirming package.

Mr. Tasarov,
we've heard quite enough.

You show us the device,

and we will give you the job.

Very well.

Send it up.

I understand.

The device will be here shortly.

In the meantime, if you'll excuse us,

I would like to speak
with my colleague for a moment.

The Hazmat alarm
has been tripped downstairs.

Nikita's in the building.

So go downstairs
and take care of her.

I'll stall them a while.

Package confirmed.

Hey, Birkhoff.

What's... what is that?

That? It's just, uh...

That's a level one Hazmat alarm.

Uh, Nikita, you just triggered
a Hazmat alarm.

Get out of there now.

♪ ♪

{pub}And when he asks you about Paris,

what do you say?

You don't think you can carry
out the orders.

I have news for you.

She can.

She's the Nikita you and I created.

The Nikita the world sees.

A mask.

Call it that if it helps.

But don't ever think that
it makes you less than human.

If anything, it makes you
more than human.

This Nikita can speak six languages,

taste the difference
between a Barolo and a Bordeaux,

and seduce a criminal.

This Nikita will finish the mission

without a moment's hesitation.

She will give you the power
to face anything

or anyone that comes your way.

Nice dress.

You fit in well

with all the bought and sold
flesh upstairs.

It got me in here.

And look what I have.

Let me go, or I destroy it.

The extraction system
is removing all the air

from that room.

In less than 15 minutes,
you'll be dead.

I can wait.

So what the hell happened?

You said you owned their security.

I do. Just not the emergency system.

It Jacks directly
to the Moscow fire department.

When Nikki opened
the containment vault,

the outer door
must not have been air-locked.

What are you doing?

As soon as you get my signal,

you call Moscow fire direct.

Do your best crazy Russian scientist.

Tell them there's a breach

and they need to get down there now.

Nice idea, but it's not gonna work.

Ari's boys will just send
the teams back.

Don't worry about Ari.

Nikita, can you hear me?

I'm coming to get you.

No firearms on the operations floor!

Stand down.

Like I said,

nature abhors a vacuum.

It's all right.

Keep 'em up.

You're protecting Division.

You should.
It's your home.

But let me remind you,

Division saved your life...

Gave you another chance...

Taught you skills...

And we gave you a sense of purpose...

To protect the freedom of others...

The very freedoms you lost.

And that makes you heroes in my book.

So why would you throw that away?

Turn everything over to the enemy?

'Cause that is exactly
what Amanda's doing right now.

And if there's a doubt left
in anyone's mind,

Sonya here will prove it to you.

Me? How?

By calling Seymour Birkhoff.

You're really going to do this, huh?

For what?

The undying gratitude
of Madeline Pierce?

Pink slips for you and Ari.

That is why you're doing this, right?

Love?

What about Michael?

Are you prepared
to leave him all alone?

You are still together?

You should've shot me.

What are you doing here, Nikita?

I didn't kill Daniel.

I didn't kill Ryan.

Oh, I'm so grateful.

You should be on your knees.

I saved your life.

When you came to me,
you were nothing,

a foster kid tossed by the system.

But I made you better.

I made you amazing,
and what did you do to repay me?

You broke my heart.

You think you gave me
some kind of gift?

You took a messed-up girl

and you made her a broken woman.

You told me I was beautiful,

and you told me that I was special.

- You were.
- You lied!

You took me from one hellhole,
and you put me in another.

And then you dressed me up
all pretty,

and you served me up to them,

just like my foster mother did.

I broke your heart?

You...

Broke mine.

So what happens now?

I guess I die.

And you lose.

{pub}What the hell?

Oh.

Hey.

Hi. You, uh...

You alone in there?

For the moment.

All right.

Me too.
Though I'm kind of on the clock.

I dig that sweater, by the way.

It's very, uh, Doris day.

I have to talk to you.

Right.

Uh, what about?

Amanda.

She left in a hurry yesterday.

She wouldn't say where she was going,

and now she's gone
completely off the grid.

None of us are really sure
we can trust her anymore.

Glad to see someone's finally

growing a brain over there.

Not... not that you don't have,
uh, wonderful brains.

I just remember you
warning me about Amanda.

I'll be blunt.

Right now, Amanda's in Moscow

selling out you
and everybody else at Division

to the Russians.

Gogol.

You don't have to take
my word for it.

Take hers.

I'm sending you a file
that deserves to go viral.

Dosvidanya.
Don't get any on ya.

You wouldn't even need
to sacrifice your own men.

My operatives are fully expendable.

I rest my case.

Yes?

- Four minutes.
- Thank you.

We're dealing with a somewhat
volatile piece of hardware.

Just be a few more minutes.

Hazmat's arriving, Alex.

Keep Ari in the room.

Ridiculous.

What are we waiting for?

We can't let this man
run our company.

That's not for you
to decide, Alexandra.

You're not even supposed
to be in here.

That's right.

I'm supposed to be dead.

Who do you think planned
the murder of my family

when I was a little girl?

Mr. Chairman, I...

I can't allow this.

She's Nikolai's daughter.
Let her speak.

Tasarov and Semak...

They thought that they had
the perfect plan.

Except I survived.

They tried to kill me again
in New York,

tried to make it look
like an overdose.

But I survived that too.

Is there another problem?

Do you need to get that?

There are no problems, Alexandra...

Apart from the ones you imagine.

Let's talk
about your imagination, Ari.

This security guard

says that he's going to save Zetrov

by making an alliance
with the Americans.

My papa used to say...

This man would get eaten alive
in the forest.

It's almost time.

Where is she?

- Who?
- Amanda.

I think you're getting delirious.

You told me once that...

There were two Nikitas...

The one that the world sees

and then...

The one that...

The one that...

I had to keep locked away.

Where is the Amanda...

You keep locked away?

Because...

I think I saw her...

Standing over me with a gun.

I realized what I saw.

In your eyes, you...

Were terrified.

That's why you didn't do it.

I had a moment of weakness.

It's past.

I think...

She's still there.

Aman...

Amanda.

Breach the door now.

Now!

You want to know
the difference between me and you?

You see a moment of weakness,

and I see a moment of strength.

{pub}Obviously, she's somewhere
in the building.

We control this building.
It's our building.

So go and find her now.

I, um, apologize
for the inconvenience.

We appreciate your long service

to this organization, Mr. Tasarov.

But what Zetrov needs is a leader...

Not a ringleader.

Mr. Chairman, I know that
Ms. Udinov's passionate appeal

was very moving,

but now is not the time
to be swayed by emotion.

The device is here,
and it will secure...

Okay, Rasputin.
Just die already.

If I'm not mistaken,

the research level's been breached.

Secure our future?

He can't even secure the building.

I think it might be time

for Gogol to find
new leadership as well.

You're fired, Mr. Tasarov.

Nobody leaves this building
until Nikita is dealt with.

I want her found,
and then I want her dead.

I'm sorry, sir, but I don't
think she's in the building.

Keep looking.

She didn't just get up
and walk out the front door!

Ari.

- Are you all right?
- I'm fine.

What happened with the board?

What do you think happened?

We need to leave here now,

before some enterprising young agent

comes gunning for me and my job...

In that order.

I'll get us out of here.

This is Amanda.
I need an exfil team now.

I'm sure you do.

Percy?

Don't worry, dear.

I'll send a team.

More than one.

You might want to keep
an eye out for them.

Some free advice.

Bundle up.
It's cold out there.

Back to your stations.

The most important decision
we can make

is who will lead us.

It is with great pleasure
that I introduce

Zetrov's new chief executive officer,

Ilya Levkin.

Thank you.

I am honored to accept
this responsibility.

First and foremost,

I would like all of Russia to know,

from those that use our energy...

Seller's remorse?

I never wanted that future.

But part of me still feels
like I let my father down.

I think he would be proud of you.

Levkin's a good choice.

Definitely better than the last one.

We'll leave first thing
in the morning.

Put as much distance
between us and Gogol as we can.

And go where?

It's not just Gogol hunting us,

and we're seriously outgunned.

Perhaps.

But while I was out,

I managed to retrieve
a very powerful weapon.

Is it decrypted?

Not entirely, but I have a few ideas

on how to fix that.

Oh.

I thought this would make you smile.

What's wrong?

I let her live.

- Hey.
- Hey.

We won, remember?

They lost.

You know, for a second there,

I didn't think I could do it.

I guess I can still surprise myself.

I mean, I know it surprised Amanda.

What are you talking about?

I let her live.

I let her live.
