Nikita (2010–2013): Season 2, Episode 23 - Homecoming - full transcript

Previously on Nikita...

Then allow me to prove myself.

If I'm satisfied,
we can aim higher.

I'm aiming higher.
Membership in your group.

We'll see.

- Damn. Percy's going nuclear.
- And Nikita?

She just thinks
I'm building a bomb.

Well, the early
ballistic missiles used

navigation satellites
for targeting.

What if the satellite
is the weapon?

I have commandeered
an SDI satellite.



All right, Percy.
You have our attention.

Let's take this
to the next level.

Mr. President,
you're going to announce

that peace talks between
the Afghan government

and the Taliban have failed.

- Percy doesn't get to win.
- Nikita, what do we do?

We take away his trump card...

The satellite he controls
from Division.

Birkhoff, you quarterback.
Alex and Sean,

you take out the Division agents
that control the entrance.

Michael and I will infiltrate.
Are you kidding?

We can't go in that place.
It's suicide.

Blow the charge!

Everyone, stop!



Just calm down.

You don't want to do this.

Open it or he dies.

I can't.

Let me out of here.

There is no out.

Michael, crossbow's down.

Percy's satellite is disabled.

Ah!

Still training 'em
real well down here.

Michael.

Michael?

Nikita.

Nikita!

Birkhoff, copy back.

Status?

The explosion took out
server two,

but core systems are intact.

Exits are sealed.

This is Percy.
Division has been breached.

Weapons restrictions
have been lifted.

You may arm yourselves at will.

Michael and Nikita
are in the facility.

Find them, kill them,

and you will be rewarded.

Alex, are you there?

Yeah, I'm taking fire!

Just lost Nikita and Michael.

Same here!

Damn it.
It's gotta be a lockdown.

I'm out!

Alex!

What do you mean, dead?

No signal traffic in or out.

Only the guards can talk
on a dedicated line.

Division lockdown is designed

for when a recruit
tries to escape.

Or an ex-recruit breaks in.

Also means I can't tell you

if the big particle beam
in the sky

is offline or not.

Damn it.
I gotta go.

Mr. President.

We're out of time,
Mr. Fletcher.

Percy's ultimatum
was pretty clear.

Sir, may we contact him?

Tell him you need more time,
the cabinet doesn't agree.

This lunatic's already
melted down one reactor

with that particle beam.

I will not stand by
and watch him do it

near a major city.

I have to play along for now.
Do you understand?

Are the Marines in place?

They're about a mile
from the farm.

Sir, I think you should
reconsider the military option,

especially against Division.

Is there something that you're
not telling us?

The covert operatives
I was working with...

Two of them are
inside Division right now.

Doing what?

Trying to disable
the satellite.

I don't know if they've
succeeded, but I do know

if you send those Marines in,
they'll be pinned down.

I'm about to kill
a peace treaty

that this country's been praying
for for a decade.

Do you think my presidency's
gonna survive that?

If I go down, Percy goes down.

As for your people,
they're on their own.

Michael, are you there?

Yeah, I'm here.

We're on the party line.

Awesome. Hey, Division.

It's great to be back.
I've missed you.

They're on
the security channel.

We can't update Birkhoff
until we get up top.

I need to get you out of here.

Where do you want to meet?

Well, the only place
in Division

we ever had any fun.

Copy that.

Good evening, everyone.

I've come to the conclusion

that certain warrior cultures
are incapable

of finding peace,

and it is for this reason
and many others

that I officially withdraw
my support for this treaty.

It is deeply flawed,

and it does not serve
America's interests

to support it.

Peace may come, but not here,

and sadly, not tonight.

- Call off lockdown.
- Sir?

I need to make a phone call.

It is for this reason
and for many others...

That I officially withdraw
my support...

I'm watching.

Ask and ye shall receive.

Knock and the door
shall be opened.

So I'm in.

The group has approved
your status.

However, you may have
another problem

heading your way.

Those are US Marines.

Vehicle signatures confirm it.

You sure this is the only
place we ever had fun?

Sounds like we're
about to have some more.

How many?

Multispectral analysis
puts the number of troops at...

205.

I don't understand.
Division's part of government.

Why would the Marines be here?

I asked for them.

They're here to make sure
that Nikita

and her little band
of insurgents

don't escape the perimeter.

It won't be an issue
if we find them first.

I'm almost up top.

What are the jarheads doing?

They're in four-man units,

taking positions
along the perimeter.

They're making the cordon.
It's usually followed by a raid.

They don't know us
from the real targets,

so just sit tight.

That's the only way
to sit right now.

You all right?

There's only one way
for this to go.

Downhill.

After this whole thing's
over... You know,

this whole storm the castle,
save humanity thing...

I think you and me
ought to go on a proper date.

Are you kidding me?

Hey, come on.
Let me down easy, why don't you?

There's literally hundreds
of Marines out there,

and you're thinking about that?

Hey, you know, that...
That helps me focus.

It gives me, uh, something
to look forward to, you know?

Like a goal.

You are unbelievable.

That's funny. It's not
the first time I've heard that.

Although usually,
it's after the date.

I'm just glad you're okay.

Oh, Ryan,
we'd be so much better

without a couple hundred Marines
waiting for us.

I tried to call them off,

but the President really wants
Percy's head.

Especially now that
crossbow's down.

Well, starting a war
won't help.

Tell the President
we got a plan

to hijack the comm system
and get a message

to everybody inside.

If they find out the truth
about Percy,

they'll hand him over.

Hang on.
Call coming in.

Bold speech, Mr. President.

Historical.

Your satellite weapon's dead.

You won't be far behind.

See, that's why
I didn't vote for you.

You don't know how to solve
the problem

that's right in front of you.

You're just like
every tin-pot dictator

I've ever had
to shake hands with.

You are a small man with a big
chip on your shoulder,

a common thug.

There's nothing common
about me.

And as far as my satellite
weapon being dead,

it was never alive
in the first place.

What the hell
are you talking about?

Power, Mr. President.
Real power.

The kind that changes history.

The kind that Cortez had
over the Aztecs.

They fell to their knees
and gave up without a fight.

Why?

Because they believed
he could turn off the sun.

All he did was check the charts

and saw an eclipse was coming.

You're saying
there was never any satellite?

Oh, it's...
It's up there.

Took some trouble
to get control of it too.

I even re-tacked the trajectory
just to seal the deal.

But the particle beam...

That was always fiction.

Brilliant science fiction.

They never got that to work.

Then how did you blow
the reactor?

Easy.

Put a little plutonium
inside a demon core,

and the next thing you know,
ka-boom.

A cataclysmic reaction
that you naturally took to be

a laser beam from outer space.

This whole thing's been
a giant con.

You, Mr. President...

In your loincloth,
with a bone in your nose,

trembling with fear and awe
at my feet

as I turn off the sun.

And I'm gonna do it again.

The remaining plutonium
is in the hands

of my most trusted operative.

He has orders to cause
another meltdown,

this time in a major
metropolitan area,

unless he's told to abort.

What do you want?

To surrender.

I've saved this country
more times than you

or anyone else will ever know.

A warrior deserves
a little respect,

don't you think?

I will walk out of here,
Mr. President,

maybe not a hero,

but on my own terms...

Immunity and the retirement
of my choosing.

If my operative
doesn't hear from me

in the next 30 minutes,

he will proceed as planned.

What if I say no?

Don't say no.

His most trusted operative.

It's gotta be Roan.

Birkhoff, do you have
any idea how to find him?

Off the top of my head, no.

Roan doesn't exactly smile
for security cameras.

What about his vehicle?

He's probably using
a Division car.

Could work,
if I could get my hands

on a vehicle manifest.

Nikita, we need to find Roan
and get the plutonium

out of the equation.

I agree.

Alex and Sean,
you go after Roan.

- Got it.
- What about us?

We go after Percy,
take him out of the equation.

I knew she was gonna say that.

Unless we all think
that he's gonna retire.

Look, it's just another play.

He's probably got somebody
waiting on the outside.

Then it's settled.

Are you forgetting
about the Marines?

I can get you past the Marines.

Birkhoff, try and hack
the vehicle manifest.

Nikita and Michael, good luck.

Alpha team seven, I've got you

in the west service corridor.

Please proceed to.

Are you insane?

If Percy catches us,
you're gonna get me killed.

I know, I know, I know.

Listen, I'm sorry, Sonya.

I'm in a serious jam here.

I really need your help.

Look.

Percy is a bad guy.

You know that, right?

Just nod.

I need to find Roan.
It's important.

Look, if Percy strikes again

and another reactor melts down,

those Marines out there
are gonna melt you down.

And everyone around you.

I'm trying to save
your life here, Sonya.

Now, all you have to do

is let me look
at who checked out

what vehicle today.

All right.

But no more.

I could kiss you.

Birkhoff, we're here.

Security camera
has Roan's SUV pulling in

three hours ago,
and it never sees it leave.

Found it.

Car looks empty.
Approaching to confirm.

- Hey. You never said yes.
- To what?

The date.

You never asked me out
on a date.

You said I was a goal.

Really? I could've sworn
I asked you out.

Shh.

Birkhoff, we got a body.

ID?

Nothing.

All right, uh, snap a photo,

send it over to me.

Yeah.

Sending.

Alpha team five,
a panel's been breached

inside the environmental
control room on sublevel two.

ECR is clear.

The panel was opened
with a small charge.

It was left here.

They were trying
to draw the teams there.

Why would they do that?

Freeze!

Trust me.
I'm not gonna move.

But if you shoot me,
things might get messy.

You trained us for this, sir.

We're fully prepared
to shoot you

and jump on that grenade.

"In the event of a breach,

the integrity of operations
must be maintained.

If your actions threaten that,
you regroup and form

a new approach."

Apparently, I didn't train you
well enough.

You were probably busy
training me.

Where's Percy?

Where is he?

I don't know.

Oh, you don't know.

Office?

I can redirect security
from here.

Clear you a path.

Go.

Nikita.

Be careful.

Speak for yourself, hon.

En route to target.
30 minutes.

Get in your position
and wait for the signal.

Nikita, where are you?

In the lighting tube.
I'm about to land.

All right, you're clear.

Finally realized
what I hate about this place.

It's the hum.

Hello, Nikita.

We're not letting you go.

Michael, I'm in Amanda's
old place.

Wait, stop.

There's an Alpha team
right outside.

Get rid of them.

Don't.

All right, everyone, listen up.

Most of you people know me,

and you know I'm not the enemy.

Neither are they.

What did Percy tell you
they were here for?

To help catch you.

They're here for Percy.

Open your eyes.

Sonya, she's on sublevel four.

Alpha teams three and six,

there's been a reported sighting
on sublevel seven.

Move out.

Nikita, you're clear.

Right outside his office.

Override the security
on that door.

You're empty.

Going upstairs
to surrender to the law.

That not good enough for you?

It's not good enough for you.

You have a way out of this.

I just don't know
what it is yet.

Where's Roan?

Ah, as we say in the trade,

that's for me to know
and you to find out.

Where is he?

- Where?
- You can't kill me.

Heart trigger.

The second I die,
Roan gets a signal.

The meltdown begins.

Then I'll torture it
out of you.

We got time.

No, you don't.

The search team
will be here any minute.

It's gonna take longer than that
to break me.

Then we'll buy some time.

You're gonna get
on that intercom,

and you're gonna call off
the boys,

or I take off your boys.

They won't believe me.

Sure they will,
because you're gonna tell them

something they've never
heard before.

The truth.

This is Percy.

I'm sure you're all
very curious to know

what's been going on today.

I started this organization
not just to protect the country,

but to save young lives,

give them a new direction.

And I guess somewhere
along the way,

I lost direction myself.

Stopped seeing you
as great Americans

and started to view you
as mercenaries.

A means to an end.

Little by little,

Division became
a criminal organization.

Those Marines are out there
to shut us down,

bring it to an end.

By morning, you'll all be dead

or renditioned
to a secret prison

or some godforsaken place
because of me.

I betrayed you,
each and every one of you.

And I don't regret
a minute of it.

If anybody has
a problem with that,

come to my office, you useless,
pathetic street trash.

What are you doing?

Throwing gas on the fire.

Let's get him.

They don't care
what happens to me...

Little army of Nikita's.

They don't care if I die.

But you should.

You bastard.

This is your final mission,
Nikita.

Stop the meltdown.
Save the world.

The only way to do that

is to get me out of here alive.

Relax.

I'm not gonna shoot you.
You're my bodyguard.

I need you.

Nikita, the natives
are getting restless.

You gotta move.

Birkhoff, Roan killed
this guy for a reason.

Please tell me you got a hit.

Working on it.

There you are.

You can hide,
but you can't run.

What the hell?

Hang on a second, guys.

He's a what?

Says he works
in waste remediation

at a classified
government site.

He's like
a super secret janitor.

It's something called NMR.

Never heard of it.
Must be over my clearance.

Mr. President?

We believe Percy
may be targeting

something called NMR.

Do you know what that is?

Of course.

It's the National Mall Reactor,
right below us.

A nuclear reactor under DC?

It's kind of a backup
generator for the government.

We put it in
during the y2K scare.

Birkhoff, did you get that?

I got it, and we're on it.

Almost through, sir.

Advance team,
prepare to breach.

Nikita, there's
an Alpha team on your six,

just around the corner.

Nikita.

Interesting name.

You are going to serve
your country.

Welcome to Division.

Someone order up a cruel irony?

Shh.

So, the national mall reactor.

You never could resist
cheap symbolism.

Parting shot at the Prez.

I'm afraid you'll never find
Roan in there.

Alex and Sean
are tracking him right now.

The princess and the seal?

There's a circus act
if ever there was one.

It's too late, Nikita.

After tonight, no one will be
able to touch me.

What is that supposed to mean?

It means I'm done
with Division.

I'm moving on.

And you?

Everything in your life,

anything with any meaning,

came from inside these walls.

You'll never be able
to let go of this place.

Has he swiped the stolen ID
through any checkpoints?

- Not yet.
- How about the facility?

There can't be that many places

for him to inject
the plutonium.

Actually, there can.

The cooling system
has multiple access points

throughout the compound.

Fantastic.

Oh, and guns
and nuclear reactors

don't play well together.

Just saying.

Okay, I think
we should split up.

- Huh?
- You go that way.

I'll take this way.
Better chances of finding Roan.

Oh.

Okay.

Hey, I didn't meant to put you
on the spot before.

Oh, it's okay.

I just... I get nervous
in the field.

About you.

I can take care of myself.

So is that a no?

You still haven't asked me yet.

Birkhoff, what's the update
on Roan?

- You'll never find him.
- Shut up.

Unfortunately,
I think he's right.

We got Alex on site,

but we're talking serious maze.

Maybe Percy was lying
about the NMR.

Yeah, he's lied
about everything else.

Hey.

Drop it!
Drop it now.

You don't want
to be doing this.

Please.

Trust me.
I hate him too.

I'm in a hurry.

Commander, this is red team.

Go ahead.

We got two tangos
near the barn, sir.

One of them says
he's surrendering.

Copy that.
Escort them to my position

on the double.

That's far enough!

It's over, Percy.

You got what you wanted.
Call off the meltdown.

Well, I guess
this is good-bye.

One last thing, though.

- Oh!
- Nikita!

Sir. Sir!

Nikita!

I brought you into this world,

and I can take you out.

Down the hatch.

Help me up.

I'm done helping you.

If I die, Roan gets the signal.

Birkhoff, there's gonna be
a signal

from the Division silo
in about five seconds.

Get ready to track it.

Nikita.

No...

Got him.
I got him.

He's at the South
access tunnel.

He's near the cooling conduit.

Agh!

So, you wanna go out?

- Don't do this.
- Nikita...

She's making a mistake, Ryan.
Tell her.

This is no longer your mission.

Advance team,
what's your status?

Advance team.

Advance team, come in!

Listen to me.

Division's back
is up against the wall.

They will fight to the death.

If you pursue this course,
I am telling you,

all you're doing is upping
the body count on both sides.

What course
would you have me pursue?

Right now,

they are in a command crisis.

Their master is dead.

They're looking for orders.

Let me go down there.

You?
You're their enemy.

Division agents only respect

what they've been made to fear.

They've been made to fear me.

My fight was never with you.

It was with Percy.
You know this.

I've spoken
to the Vice President.

Told her that I could negotiate
the peaceful surrender

of all personnel.

She believed me.

But I think you all know
better than that.

Don't you?

The second you put down
your guns,

they'll gun you down,

because legally,
Division doesn't exist.

That's gonna change today.

And they're just gonna have
to deal with it.

You are not invisible.

You exist.

And if they want to get to you,

they're gonna have to go
through me first.

Let's talk.

Immunity, identity, absolution.

Never gonna happen.
But I can promise no custody,

no extreme rendition.

Rendition? How do you think
we got here?

The government told us they were
giving us a second chance,

but they never gave us
a choice.

The oval office
is never gonna give everyone

in this facility
a golden parachute.

The problem is a lot bigger
than this facility.

Division field agents
all over the world

have heard about this breach.

They're not gonna come in
from the cold, Ryan.

They'll go rogue.

I know.

That's why I told
the Vice President

the ideal unit to control
the fallout from Division

is Division itself.

Keep Division running?

Until we can clean up
the mess it's made.

There are still monsters
out there.

After three days, finally.

I told you it could be done.

This is insane.

What kind of secrets are these?

The kind that kill.

Who else but Division
is going to stop them?

I heard Percy
tell the President

he was just a messenger,

probably for whoever
is on the other side

of his surrender.

We need to find out
who that person is.

So Division
is going to run itself.

No.

They want me to run it.

I'm not gonna do it
without you.

This isn't going to work.

It's the only way it works.

Nikita.

Nikita, you can trust me.

This isn't what
we've been fighting for.

I think we're fighting
for justice.

Is that what you call this?

This is the best thing
we can do.

I was saving lives,

lives that the system
was gonna throw away.

Are you telling me you think
there's a good side of Division?

No.

Not unless you're running it
one day.

Or you.

When they gave you
the ability to kill,

they also gave you
the ability to protect.

They want an answer.

What's it gonna be?

Division is in good hands
with Ryan, Nikita.

We can go.

Where?

Home.

Remember?
You did say that.

I said it.

But I don't know
what a home is, Michael.

I've never had one.

All I know is...

I grew up here.

I learned
right from wrong here,

and I fell in love here.

Those people down there...

They deserve a chance,

and you know
we can give that to them.

You think I'm crazy, right?

That is just wrong.

What numb nuts turned this place
into the starship Enterprise?

I need to hunt down
loose trackers,

but I'm not sure
that the servers are capable,

and I thought you
could reconfigure them.

Sure.

Let me show you how it's done.

They have sustained
a lot of damage

with all the gunfire.

Hi.

You know how Division feels
about fraternization.

Division's dead, baby.

Isn't it?

Where am I?

Closest hospital
that won't ask questions.

Division.

Hey, uh, speaking of questions,

there's, uh,
a yes-or-no question

that, when you passed out...

There was a lot
going on, but, um,

maybe, uh...

Alex.

How are you feeling?

Uh, getting there.

Hey.

Are you okay?
What happened?

A lot.

Do you remember what I said

when I decided I was gonna let
you infiltrate Division?

"Here we go."

Here we go again.
