Nikita (2010–2013): Season 2, Episode 19 - Wrath - full transcript

Project Leader requesting
detainee review.

Countersign.

Alpha Moon Three.

Name?

Classified.

Inter-departmental task force.

But, uh, deputy director
Kendrick sends his regards.

We got visitors.

H-hello?

Who's there?
Hello?

Bit stuffy around here, huh?



The plan, I guess.

Keep you uncomfortable; Off balance.

Just imagine the hell
they put you through in here.

But I'm here to change all that.

I'm here to get you out.

All I ask in return is...

Well, the same thing the CIA
wanted all this time.

See, I'm not with the CIA.

I don't play by their rules.

And if you need proof of that,
just know that I'm the man

that ran the group that
captured you five years ago.

Do you know where she is?

She?

You mean the one responsible
for your being in here.



Unfortunately... she and I had
a little bit of a falling out.

But you know how to get to her.

If I did...
Could we come to an agreement?

You help me find her,
and you've got a deal.

I didn't realize you were
going for the medal round.

Well, I don't want you
to settle for the silver.

No way, gold all the way.

Speaking of, you've got a lot of it.

What are you gonna do now
that you've cashed out

your share of the Udinov fortune?

I don't know.

It doesn't even seem real.

It is. Real enough to buy you
a life somewhere else.

Yeah, what am I gonna do?

Just sit on a beach and sip
drinks from a coconut?

I can't do that.
I've seen too much.

It's like I told my mother.

There are people out there
who have to be stopped,

and I want to be
a part of that fight.

Just like you.

I mean, the bigger question is,
what are you gonna do?

Well, the deal with senator
Pierce was that we stop Division

and we get our presidential pardon.

We've done our part.

Amanda and Ari are on the run,
Percy's in the wind,

so now it's up to her.

And then what?

You and Michael gonna trade in

your cloaks and daggers
for barbecue aprons?

Head toward the nearest
white picket fence?

That is what you guys want, right?

A life where
you're not evading hit men,

dodging the odd predator drone?

That was the plan.

So what's the problem?

I don't know.

It's like you guys need some kind

of life and death crisis
just to make it work.

It seems like
when it comes to our future,

Nikita and I are in
some kind of holding pattern.

I didn't wanna push it.

Baby steps, you know?

Yeah, and maybe it's time
for you to take

some grown-up steps, huh?

Looks like it's one of
senator Pierce's lines.

Welcome to the show, caller,
you're on the air.

Sean, we should get going.

It's me.
The black market arms contractor

passed along word
of a weapons request

from a domestic covert group.

CIA says it's not them,
which means...

Division.

Division doing business
without Amanda?

It matches up with
some recent chatter about

a string of weapons caches being
emptied in Europe and Asia.

Thank you.

According to my mother,
these caches were set up

by Division, but not by Amanda.

- Dates back before her time.
- Percy.

Percy back at Division?
How?

Must have got in
while Amanda was gone.

Staged a coup.

Must have found evidence
of her double dealing.

I did send Sonya that video of Amanda

addressing the Zetrov board.

Well, what? I thought it was
gonna help bring Amanda down.

How was I supposed to know Lex
Luthor was in the building?

I'm not taking any chances.

I'm taking my mother to a safe house.

Who knows how far Percy will go

to kill the last member of Oversight?

Get her out!

Get her out now!

What the hell was that?

Sean?

Sean are you there?

No!

Report?

The blast occurred three minutes ago

near the corner of m and 16th.

Sonar imaging
suggests that there were

at least four casualties...

Two in the car and two outside.

Who was the target?

According to secret service records,

the car was assigned
to senator Madeline Pierce.

Should we alert
our assets in the area

in case there are plans
for further attacks?

No.

The person behind this
doesn't have a plan.

At least not a good one.

- Hello?
- Sean.

Are you okay?

My mother is dead.

Sean.

This was Percy.

We don't know that, okay?

- We still need...
- This was Percy.

And I'm going to find him now.

Keep him calm, all right?

He's not thinking straight.
We need more information.

Nikita?

There's a traffic cam
near Dupont circle.

- Brant.
- Who?

He was a Division... target
I took out a few years ago.

{pub}Brant has taken me
into his inner circle

but he hasn't dropped where
the nuclear materials are yet.

Wouldn't have thought
20 pounds of plutonium-239

would be that easy to hide.

When's the deal going down?

He meets with the Egyptian
Islamic jihad on Tuesday.

Well, needless to say,
that can't happen.

So we have three days
to secure the package.

Sir, I am close.

After that, bring him in with
or without the plutonium.

- Clear?
- Yes, sir.

You still have time
to work your magic.

No other girl's lasted this
long in Brant's rotation.

You must be making
quite an impression.

Look, I know these assignments
are distasteful.

But sometimes we have to do them.

You see that, don't you?

The other day, Brant was
unhappy with an engineer.

He said he was taking too long
making a bomb casing.

So he brought in the guy's wife

and broke her arms
right in front of him.

Said she wouldn't get off
so easy next time,

that he'd go after
their daughter too.

So, yes, I know what I have to do.

And sir, when we do bring Brant in,

I'd like five minutes alone with
him in a room with no cameras.

I wanna show him there are women
out there who can hurt him too.

Two days later, they, um,
they brought Brant in,

but we never found the plutonium.

Percy handed him over to the CIA
and they took over the search.

They never recovered it either.

They've been torturing him for
the information at a black site

in Norway for the last five years.

Broke out last week, killing
three agents in the process.

Looks like he had outside help too.

- Who?
- There's only one person

who could have told Brant
my connection to Madeline.

But why is Percy
working with this freak?

The plutonium.

Brant's gonna give Percy
the plutonium.

Damn.

Percy's going nuclear.

What were you thinking?

Same thing I've been
thinking for five years.

I gave you
the Madeline Pierce information,

assuming you would use
a degree of discretion.

There were plenty of ways of
getting Nikita's attention.

Ways that did not involve

blowing up a United States senator.

You've got your methods,
I've got mine.

Yes and courtesy of your methods,

we now have a national spotlight
shining on our activities.

That's right, and now
there'll be a big funeral

with lots of people in attendance.

Including her son.

The one you told me
works with Nikita.

I will draw her out.

You are not seriously thinking
of attacking that funeral.

The place is gonna be a fortress.

Which is why I need security
plans for the event.

Physical layout, guard
deployment, personnel numbers

for the police, FBI
and the secret service.

You can get that, right?

So... you make this mess...

And then you want my
help wading through it?

I don't have Nikita yet.

Our deal...
Is that you give me Nikita.

Or do you not want that plutonium?

Sean.

I'm so sorry.

Tell me what you know about
the man who killed my mother.

His name's Nicholas Brant.

He's an arms dealer
I took down for Division.

He wants payback.

He's giving Percy
nuclear arms to get it.

So he killed her to get to you.

Collateral damage.

Yes.

I was the target.

What's his next move?

If I were Brant,
I would stake out the funeral.

See if I was there,
if I wasn't then...

He'll start looking for someone else

- he can use to get to her.
- Like you.

- You won't be safe if you go.
- If you think

there's any way I'm not going
to my mother's funeral...

- It's too dangerous.
- No.

- He might try to...
- No.

I'm not gonna let this guy
control my life.

I wanna be there, and then I'm
gonna hunt this bastard down

and make him wish he was never born.

I think you should go.

Whoa, you sure that's a good idea?

Brant's looking for me,
and that's not a problem.

Because I'm looking for him.

Steer clear of the secret service.

Avoid any entanglement with the FBI.

If Nikita shows up, she's likely
to stay on the perimeter.

Your job is to find her,
not to engage the authorities.

Understood.

Hard target search only.

Capture her if you can.

And if that's not possible,
then kill her.

The nation's political
leaders gather today

to pay their final respects
to senator Madeline Pierce,

tragically killed by a terrorist
bomb blast earlier this week.

The senator, who only weeks ago

survived another shocking attack,

will receive full military honors

as befitting her distinguished
career as a public servant.

The President of the United States

is going to be in attendance.

This funeral is the single

safest place in the world right now.

Which means I don't need you here.

I'm just an extra pair of eyes.

- I have my own set of eyes.
- Sean...

I never got to go
to my father's funeral.

I never got to be with my family
for that last moment with him.

You have that chance right here.

Let me be the one
that looks out for Brant,

pays attention
to the security perimeters.

And you... you can say
good-bye to your mom.

Good-byes can wait.

We have work to do.

Spot anything yet?

Negative. Radio frequencies
are hopping though.

Security presence is out of control.

Hard to imagine Brant making
his way through that gauntlet.

- Nikki, you guys got anything?
- Nothing yet.

We're a mile outside the funeral.

Everything from this
perimeter looks clear.

I don't remember the Brant mission.

You were overseas on assignment.

You didn't say anything after.

There wasn't much to say.

Hey, I got a vehicle
just inside the South gate.

Untraceable license and mystery vin
say Division cover van.

So predictable.

Uh, wait a minute.

Wait, I also have an unmarked vehicle

due east of there.
That could be Brant.

Okay, if they're following
Division protocol,

they'll have a couple
of backup units on the way.

We take them out, Brant
won't have Alpha team support.

We can isolate him.
I'll take the car.

No, no, no.
I'll take the car.

You take the agent in the van.

Should be a standard two-man squad.

Something's wrong.

The driver's dead.

Nikita?

Nikita, are you there?

{pub}- Expand the search grid.
- I'm on it.

She said the agent
in that van had been killed.

- This wasn't Division.
- It was Brant.

Scan all of Metro Baltimore.

I already have.
It's coming up empty.

Well, do it again.

Michael?

We're gonna find her, okay?

The trail's already gone cold.

We have to figure out
where he would take her.

Right, what do we know about
his behavior? His habits?

I got something...
It's not much.

The report on Brant's escape
says three agents were killed,

but there was one survivor.

A prisoner named Ted Masterson.

He spent a lot of time with Brant.

- Maybe he knows something.
- Where's he now?

Federal holding facility in Virginia,

but he's scheduled to be transferred

to a military prison today.

- It's slim.
- Yeah.

But it's all we got.

Wakey, wakey.

No rest for the wicked.

Brant.

You remembered me.
Good.

We don't have to waste time
catching up.

What do you want?

What do I want?

What I want is for the last five
years not to have happened.

Not to have been waterboarded,
sleep deprived...

Horsewhipped
and humiliated on a daily basis.

What I want...

Is to have my life back.

But I can't have that.

So I guess I'll just
have to settle for you.

Look, I know you're angry.

Angry? No.

Well, maybe the first year
and the second.

You have to know
that I was following orders.

You see after that,
a certain clarity came over me.

The man that you're working with

is responsible for
what happened to you.

More of an understanding, really.

Rather a than a revelation.

Percy gave the order.

I was doing a job.

And now I'm working against
the men who took you down.

We have a mutual enemy.

I hated what Percy made me do.

- I still do.
- No!

No, you did not.

You enjoyed doing this to me.

Just like I'm gonna enjoy
doing this to you.

Feel free to scream.
No one will hear you.

In 1/4 mile, please turn right
to our waiting grab team.

This look right to you?

What the...

- Drop it.
- Don't.

Hey, watch it.

Listen, look, tell the Sheikh
they never broke me, man.

Let's go, Masterson.

- That raid was just a lucky...
- Shut up.

What can you
tell us about Nicholas Brant?

- Brant? What about him?
- He ever talk about places

- he'd go if he got out?
- No.

Any places he'd like to see?

- No.
- Relatives? Girlfriends?

Sorry, I missed gym class that day.

Hey, you think we're playing around?

I'm telling you,
he didn't say anything.

He never said anything.

I did all the talking.
He would just sit and listen.

What did you talk about?

I don't know, man.
Stupid stuff.

Movies, girls, family.

- His family?
- No, my family.

Got a kick out of hearing
how messed up they are.

My dad's boozin', sister's drugs.

He enjoyed that crap.

The sick bastard laughed his ass off

when they foreclosed
on my mom's house.

Wh-what are you doing?

- Gonna call the police.
- Hey.

Let them know you're out here.

You don't have to do that, man.

Just look the other way.
No one will notice.

Don't tell me that's all you've got.

I was expecting so much more.

Remember the first time I saw you?

In a club in Sao Paulo?

You were wearing that purple dress

and you had too many mojitos?

God, you were beautiful.

Hey.

Stay with me.

You know what helps?

You pick a point in your mind
and you focus on it.

Something that'll
help keep you going.

You see, what really kept me going...

Was the thought of seeing you suffer.

Of hearing you scream
and beg for your life.

You kept me alive.

The woman you knew was not me.

- Hmm.
- I was under orders.

I was forced to work for an agency

that made me do terrible things.

- Must have been hard.
- It's the truth!

I hated what they made me do.

Then why didn't you get out?

I couldn't.

Hmm?

You could have killed yourself.

That would have been a way out.

See, that's just it.

You didn't really wanna get out.

You just don't admit it.

But I know you.

Intimately.

And I'm not talking about
the sex, no.

See, we shared something
much more... primal.

I saw behind your lies

and caught a glimpse
of your true self.

You see, the woman who did this...

That's who you are.

The woman who did this
and enjoyed it?

That's the real Nikita!

Just kill me and get it over with.

No.

I'm not gonna kill you
for a very long time.

I suffered for five long years.

You think I'd cheat you
out of one second of that?

So just relax.

You're in for the long haul.

{pub}Looks like you put your
five minutes to good use.

I wanna congratulate you.

You may not have recovered
the plutonium yet,

but you still managed to bring
down one of the most dangerous

international arms dealers out there.

Thank you, sir.

The CIA can handle it from here.

I'll be honest.
I had my doubts about you.

About your commitment
to the program...

But you showed me something here
I haven't seen before.

Something...

Evil.

You have evil in you.

- No, I just...
- Relax.

It's a good thing.

There are monsters in this world.

And the only way to beat them
is to get down on their level

and fight fire with fire.

That's why Division exists.

There are monsters out there.

I'm sorry.

What did you say?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I didn't
take out your other eye.

And if I'd known
you'd be talking me to death,

I would have cut out your tongue too.

So turn it up.

Last one tickled a little.

You... are gonna beg me for death.

Like you did with the CIA?

What's the matter?

They hurt the poor little psychopath?

I'm gonna tell you something...

I never told anyone.

I regretted most of my missions
for Division,

but not all.

And yours...

You're right.

I enjoyed hurting you.

- Bitch!
- What's wrong?

You wanted to get real.

Let's do it.

The person who beat you in that room

is someone I pretend isn't there.

Someone I lock deep, deep down inside

and never show the people I love

because if they knew the truth,
they'd hate me.

But here, in this hole,

we can be honest, right?

So come on.

You and I can spend all of eternity

down here hurting each other.

We deserve it.

Percy.

You owe me.

It's about time.

Where's my plutonium?

I didn't get what I was promised.

What are you talking about?

You have Nikita.

You killed two of my agents
to get her.

This sick bitch doesn't get it.

She won't be hurt.

- I want my revenge.
- All right, look...

Let's just take a step back

and work through this like adults.

I really want that plutonium

and in return,
I think I can help you.

Nikita's all hard exteriors,

but at heart, she's a soft touch.

She can't stand to watch
the ones she loves get hurt.

And you have access to someone
she cares about?

I have someone in mind.

Wait a minute.

Got a signal bumping up against
the firewall on a proxy.

Oh, no, she ain't doing this again.

All right, chica, I got
a bone to pick with you.

I have a message.

Oh, God, Percy,
can't you just die already?

Birkhoff, I don't have time
to talk to the children.

Where's Nikita?

How badly do you want to find her?

I'm not in the mood for games, Percy.

Where is she?

You know where she is.

She's with Brant.

- What does he want?
- He wants what all of us want.

To be heard.

And it seems he's having a hard time

getting through to your girlfriend.

So he's going to need someone
to help her listen.

Just get to the point.

If you want Nikita...
Really want her...

It's going to require a sacrifice.

You're gonna have to sacrifice
yourself, Michael.

You got the point now.

{pub}Mikey, this is crazy, man.

Just give me the pill.

All right.

It's an ingestible tracker.

It's the same thing
we used on Madeline.

Swallow it immediately after

you clear any tracking
countermeasures.

It's activated by stomach acid.

Come online in half an hour.

Right.

A lot can happen
in half an hour, Mike.

And we're out of options.

We kept our end of the bargain.

Your turn.

Sycamore street, building c.

You should scan him first.

Don't worry, I will.

Give my regards to Nikita.

No.

Surprise, surprise.

{pub}- I lost him.
- What?

I don't know, signal cut out.

He must have gone underground,

jumped in a bunker or something.

What's the last known position?

It's somewhere in the Lehigh Valley,

but that's a huge search area.

There must be something else,
something that we missed.

Okay, you're Brant, where do you go?

Somewhere quiet, somewhere isolated

where they wouldn't see you
dragging in a body.

Okay, so he's not in an apartment

or an office building.

Birkhoff, what kind of structures

are in the search area?

It's mainly residential
single-family houses.

Are any of them registered to Brant?

No. Nothing.

No, Brant's been in prison
for five years.

There's no way he could just
drop in and buy a place.

Okay, so he's squatting.

He's in an abandoned
house or a foreclo...

Masterson said Brant was really
interested in hearing about

his mother's house
getting foreclosed.

So he knew that there would be
a place that was empty.

Birkhoff, are there any
properties in the area

that once belonged
to the Masterson family?

Holy canoli.
Yes, yes.

It's Allentown, 52 Willow Lane.

Find address: Willow Lane, 52.

Willow Lane, 52.

This isn't too far.
We can be there in ten minutes.

- Start guidance.
- Start guidance.

That might be ten minutes
more than they have, so move.

Michael.

Michael?

Are you hurt?

No.

The others?

Were they with you when he attacked?

No, there wasn't an attack.

What do you mean?

How did Brant capture you?

He didn't... capture me.

I came on my own.

I gave myself up.

It was the only way I could find you.

You son of a bitch.

What?

You dumb, stupid son of a bitch.

Nikita...

The situation was contained.

The damage was limited, and now what?

You just gave Brant
everything he wanted.

You were in dang...

I was lost.

I am lost.

Michael.

You just sacrificed yourself
for a dead woman.

No, you are not dead.

- We can still...
- Shut up, just shut up.

Shut up.

So typical.

Always gotta do the right thing,
right Michael?

Can't ever be selfish.
Pure, noble Michael.

You just had to give
yourself up to this psycho

like you're some kind of martyr.

Like you had to go
and be with Cassandra

and you just had to see her son.

Why can't you just ever say
"this is what I want.

I don't care if it's wrong!"

You think I can't be selfish?

This is the most selfish thing
I've ever done.

I did this because I had to see you

one last time even if I was killed.

I did this...

Because I love you.

Don't do that, don't do that.

I don't have a choice.

You have no idea who I am.

If you did, you could never love me.

No, no, I know exactly who you are.

I have evil inside of me, Michael.

Maybe you do.

Maybe that is a part of you.

That is all that it is.

It is just a part.

A part!
It is not all of you.

And that is what I love.

Is all of you.

And we're gonna die.

Then we die.

Together.

You're awake. Good.

No!

That's more like it.

You okay?

Good-bye, mom.

Michael, I need to talk to you...

About some of the stuff
I said back there.

Hey, it's okay.
You don't have to.

I didn't mean it.

Yes, you did.

I said some unforgivable things.

Yeah.

But you had to.

I know it's not because
you don't love me.

It's because you don't love yourself.

Hey.

And that's okay.

I'm willing to teach you.

I can see our future again.

It's been a long time.

It's clear.

Your plan failed.

I'm still alive.

But you did succeed in one respect.

Your brought Michael
and I closer together,

so thank you for sending him.

You got it wrong, Nikita.

I didn't free Brant to get to you.

His vengeance was never my plan.

Right. You wanted the plutonium.

I don't know what you have
planned for it, Percy.

Doesn't matter.

I'll find out and I'll stop you.

I always do.

Why do we keep doing this?

This endless cycle of
mutual destruction?

I know one way to end it.

Change is in the air.

It's a new age here at Division.

New song, same dance.

Let me make a little proposal.

You give up your crusade against
me and I'll do the same for you.

You and Michael can go live life

without having
to look over your shoulder.

Sound good?

I have a different plan.

Really?

You know, Percy, you once told
me there are monsters out there.

And you were right.
There are.

That's why I'm coming for you.
