Nikita (2010–2013): Season 3, Episode 18 - Broken Home - full transcript

♪

You think you can just
break everyone out of here

and run for it?

All of you?
Get in.

Look, whatever you think
is going on up there,

I am willing to bet
Amanda is behind it.

She's got Nikita--
Amanda's nowhere near this.

Alex started this,
and we're gonna finish it.

Alex?

Your new identity.

For the rest of your life.



Thank you.

This is
your numbered account

and your severance share.

Ho, ho, ho.
Merry Christmas.

Once everyone
gets their cut,

we will release the lockdown,
throw open the doors,

and kiss this place
good-bye--

for good.

You gotta do something.

You need to retake control
from Rachel,

make the rest of them
listen.

Listen to what?

The truth.

The government's
never gonna let



300 former convicts
turned assassins

just disappear without
the President's approval.

Now look,
if you take charge,

we can free Michael
and restore order.

But you need to make them
stop following Rachel.

I thought you
were on board with this.

No, that was just
so the angry villagers

wouldn't tear me to pieces.

Alex, if we run,

we will be hunted
for the rest of our lives.

These people
are not gonna end up free.

They're gonna end up dead.

No. Not this time.

I will not
let that happen again.

Again?
What do you mean "again"?

Alex?

We have to shut down
the trackers.

That way,
they'll never find us.

Tell that to the rogue agents
we've already caught.

They cut out their trackers,
and we still found them.

You may be right.

I know I am.

Rachel,
I need to talk to you.

- Not now.
- Yes now.

If there is any hope of us
surviving past today,

we have to disable
Shadownet.

Say what?

It's too powerful.

It has backdoor access

to almost every major law
enforcement grid in the world.

It can access security cams
around the world.

If we leave it in Division,
someone can use it to find us.

And you're the only one
who can shut it down.

Escort Birkhoff
to the server room

and get it done.

- Let's go.
- Okay, all right.

- Hey.
- All right.

Sonya will continue
the account transfers.

Alex, what the hell?

I'm sorry, Sean,
but I can't let you stop us.

No! Stop!

Look, just because
he's not on board

doesn't mean
he's a threat.

He's just having
second thoughts.

There is no going back.
You said so yourself.

That doesn't mean
we have to turn on each other.

Nobody needs to get hurt.

Take him to holding.

Hey, this will all
work out, trust me.

I did.

The objective was to use
Alex's survivor's guilt.

That's why she's so obsessed
with making sure

everyone in Division
gets out of there alive,

even if they end up killing
themselves in the process.

That place is going
to tear itself apart.

- Don't bet on it.
- I wouldn't.

If not for Ryan in a coma
and Michael locked in a cell.

I wouldn't bet on it
if you were there.

But you're here.

Oh, if you're
gonna keep talking, Amanda,

just kill me now.

Not yet.

Or ever.

You can't kill me.
You don't want to.

You've had
so many chances.

As have you, and you
couldn't pull the trigger.

I didn't want to kill anyone.
I never did.

That's what you
didn't understand.

Always so superior.

Time for your final lesson.

All right, there.
You happy?

Shadownet's down.
Little birds can fly free.

If you ask me, you're all
a bunch of honey badgers.

It's really gone?

Oh, it's never
gonna be gone.

Shadownet not here.

Shadownet here.

And here.

That's true.

As long as you're around,

Division will always
be able to track us.

You ever kill anyone,
Chris?

No.

But how hard can it be?

It's harder
than you think.

Believe me.

All right, kiddies.

Christmas is over.

Santa's done
giving presents.

The place is on lockdown,
and I can't get out.

And what do you propose
I do about it?

Send goons or mercs
or whatever.

Have 'em attack
the outer perimeter

and create a diversion.

That way, I can
get out of here

with the Black Box
you told me to get.

Your plan's a bit crude.

You got a better idea?

The elevators
have an emergency override.

They can be triggered
from the server room.

Go trigger it.

- That's it?
- That's it.

Now, if you'll excuse me,
I'm being rude to my guest.

What did you do to me?

Nothing permanent.

I just needed to stimulate
certain visualization centers

the South Ossetia special.

You gonna make me see...

an imaginary room
with a fake girl?

No. The people you meet
won't be fictitious.

Major Matthew Collins,
neuropsychiatrist,

and his daughter,
circa 1987.

The room is 8x10,

green dresser
against peach walls.

Pink flowered pillows
on an unmade bed.

A mirror on the door.

♪

Oh.

Sorry I'm late.

I got stuck at work
talking to pencil pushers.

But I picked up
some dinner.

Why don't you set the table
while I wash up?

Amanda,
I've had a very hard day.

Now is not the time
to push me.

So please, do as you're asked
and set the table.

I'm Amanda.

I'm Amanda.

In Geneva, you demanded
I tell you what made me.

Be careful
what you wish for.

We didn't have much,

but we didn't need a lot.

The army provided
for most things.

And daddy, well,
he wasn't one for decorating.

Except for those ducks.

He was always obsessed
with those damn ducks.

They forgot your salad.
I'm running back to get it.

It was about as ordinary
as you could get.

What is all this?

Isn't it obvious?

You wanted to know
how it all started.

Well, this is
where I grew up.

So you're gonna show me
that a hard life is an excuse

for what you've become?

It isn't.
So just skip to the end.

I can't skip to the end.

How this ends is up to you.

I'm trying to tell you

what I remember of my life
at that time.

And thanks to the psychotropic
procedures I've perfected,

you're able to simulate
your own vision of it.

I'm just providing
the framework for the story,

but your own mind
is filling in the details.

And your own choices.

I'll set the stage,

but what happens here
is determined by you.

It's similar to what I did
to Alex in South Ossetia,

except she didn't know
it was all in her head.

I'm granting you the gift
of self-awareness.

If you want to reveal to me
your deepest,

darkest secrets, Amanda,
cut the theatrics.

No.

This is something
you need to feel,

not just hear.

It's the only way you'll learn
you know nothing

about who can
and can't be saved.

Who is that?

♪

Get out.

Are you okay?

I said, "get out!"

He's not here.

He went out.

Oh, what did he do to you?

Amanda, please.

You know if father
finds you in here,

he's going to blame me.

And then he's gonna
up the dosage,

and then--
and then--

No, no, no, no, no,
I'm not gonna let that happen,

because I'm gonna help you.

Oh, you're gonna help me?

Daddy's little princess?

You can't help me!

Or can you, Nikita?

When can we
get out of here?

When are we
getting our money?

Please, just be patient.

Sonya, what's the holdup?

Division's accounts
are more secure than we thought.

A firewall I've never
seen before just sprang up.

Everything's frozen.

Birkhoff.

Chris, come in.

Chris?

Server room.
Let's go.

Charlie, get that firewall down
and free up the money.

Yes, ma'am.

Ops.

I want two-man teams
sweeping the entire facility.

Find Birkhoff
and bring him down.

Wait a minute!

Don't tell me
"No one needs to get hurt."

This?

This is not like Birkhoff.

I know him.
He's not a killer.

I think Vince
would beg to differ.

There's got to be more
to the story.

Look, he didn't shoot Chris.

No, just smashed
his face.

I guess he was having
second thoughts.

Hands! Don't move!

Bring him in!

Owen?
What are you doing here?

Story of my life.

I was getting
a little stir-crazy

waiting
for my severance package.

Didn't know you guys
had a curfew or--

Whoa.

Look, I don't want
any trouble, okay?

I just want
to follow the conga line out

like everybody else.

We didn't do this.
Birkhoff did.

Post guards
near every terminal.

That's how he'll come at us.

You okay?

Birkhoff, huh?

Damn.

Owen, please.

I need you to find him
before this gets worse.

Can he really hack
into any terminal in Division?

What matters is that
they're gonna kill him,

and I can't let that happen.

- Okay, okay, okay.
- Look, I gotta get back to Ops,

but I don't--
Okay. Okay.

Dial it down.

I'll find him.

Something's not right.

She's not right,
I'm telling you.

I saw it.

Amanda did something to her.

Are you listening to me?

Amanda.

Yeah, she attacked Nikita
and Owen,

but she left Owen behind.

That's not very Amanda
of her.

And since then,
even before then,

Owen's been off the rails.

Okay, so are you saying that
she did a number on him too?

It's the only way
to explain it.

Explain what?

Owen stole the Black Box,
and then he attacked me

after I caught him trying
to sneak away.

To where?
Back to Amanda?

She didn't grab Nikita.
He did.

Owen gave her up.
They're in this together.

Hey, look, I know
you want to find your girl,

but the only way you get to her
is if I get through to mine.

We have to convince Alex
to let us out of here.

Derek, call up to Ops.

We've got something Alex
is gonna want to hear.

You're gonna have to try
harder than that.

Tell her
it's about the Black Box

and the agent roster on it.

She'll listen.

Ops, come in.

Daddy's work was brilliant.
Far ahead of its time.

The army knew
that post-traumatic stress

was going to continue
being a problem,

so they commissioned him
to find a treatment.

But he didn't want
to just treat PTSD,

he wanted to prevent it.

He searched for a way
to split

the moral judgment centers
in the brain

so that a soldier could engage
in the horrors of war,

and with the flip
of a switch,

return home
and be a normal citizen.

The emotional scars
would be locked safely away.

The military
refused to allow him

to conduct clinical trials,

so he decided
to do them on his own.

On his own daughter?

Well, that's how much he
believed in what he was doing.

It was a sacrifice,

but that's the benefit
of having twins.

You can use one
as a control.

- Amanda!
- You're hurting her!

Amanda, stop it!

You know
you cannot interfere.

What are you thinking?

You risk
contaminating the study.

This isn't a study.
She's your daughter!

And Helen knows
how important this is.

I thought you did too.

Now, we've talked
about this.

This is...

"Important work
we're doing."

Look, it's too dangerous
to play games right now.

This is no game.

They told me you said
something about the Black Box.

That's right.

All this trouble
you're going through

to give everyone
a new life?

Their identities
are on it.

The entire Division roster.

Yes, yes. I stopped by Ryan's
office on my way down here.

The safe is open.
The box is gone.

Maybe we should
talk about this in private?

Oh!

Don't do that.

Do what?

Why are you so jumpy?

This place has gone
all Crimson Tide,

or are you late
to the party, as usual?

Why don't you give me the gun
before you hurt yourself?

All right, we gotta
get to a terminal,

hack the holding cell,
and bounce Mikey out of there.

System override
on the elevators,

can you do that
from anywhere?

Owen, what's wrong
with you?

Sam.
The name is Sam.

Now answer the question.

Yeah, yes.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

Okay, let's go.

It's right around here.
There it is.

She said Birkhoff

can override doors
and elevators from here.

At ease, ladies.
I found him.

Agent double-oh-zero.

Do your thing.
Don't get cute.

What the hell did you do?
Nothing.

You may now approach
the elevators

in an orderly fashion.

They're out!

All right, enough!

Let's get out of here.

I know this is confusing
for you.

You hear those...

awful sounds
coming from downstairs.

But you need to know
that's not Helen you hear.

That's someone else.

A part of Helen's mind
I've created.

And if I succeed
with my work,

your sister will never remember
any of what's happened.

If you succeed.

When I succeed.

Maybe you're scared because
you don't understand my work.

If you were more involved,

if you could see
for yourself...

How truly amazing
these results really are,

I could accomplish
so much more

with an assistant
as brilliant as you.

You want me to follow
in your footsteps?

I knew you'd understand.

You were always
the smart one, Amanda.

Now, I need
to get back to work.

But I think you
should get out of the house.

Call one of your friends.

Go to the mall.

Buy yourself some clothes.

So this
is where it began...

Huh, Amanda?

All the manipulation

and...
the experimentation...

Destroying people's lives.

You gave up
on your sister.

You chose your daddy
over her.

I won't make that choice.

I won't make
that choice.

Watch me.

When are you
ever going to learn?

Let me go!

Alex, Alex.

I love you.

What do you feel?
Stop it.

- Do you love me?
- This isn't about us.

I'm making this about us.

There are two sides in this,
and you need to choose.

Me or the mutiny?
No.

If we stay inside Division,
we die.

That's not true.

They died, Sean,
and I lived.

Alex, look at me.

Alex, look.

She did something to you.

Amanda did something to you
in South Ossetia.

Sean, we need to move!

I thought you said
it was close.

They should be.

They?

Damn it.

Alex?

Go ahead,
pull the trigger.

Come on,
you heard the man.

I can't.

'Cause I'm the only one
that knows where Nikita is.

Helen.
Helen.

Helen.

Go away.

We're getting out of here.

- You're crazy.
- We can leave tonight.

He'll find us,
and then he'll punish me.

No.
I need you to trust me.

Trust you to do what?

Where are we gonna go...

Two runaways
without a dime?

We can go to the police.

We'll tell them
what he's done.

Oh, and you think
that they'll believe us?

I don't go to school.

I don't have a license.

The state doesn't even
have birth records of me.

Father made sure that
I don't officially exist!

The best thing
that could happen to me

is I end up
in a place like this.

Is that what you want,
Amanda?

So you never have
to think of me again?

Helen...

Let me help you.

Please.

I'm just so tired of it.

The tests.

The experiments, the pain.

Please.

Amanda, make it stop.

I will.

You will?

Oh, I promise.

Then please...

You have to kill me.

It's not an easy choice,
is it?

Because she
really wants to die.

So you killed her?
Your own sister?

I did
what I thought I had to do.

But it's your turn now.

I'm not going to do it.

Then you will live
with the results,

because I'll tell you this:

My father's experiments
never succeeded,

and Helen will carry around

the damage
he did to her psyche

for the rest of her life.

And you will be responsible

for the consequences
that follow.

Are you starting
to believe me now?

Not everyone can be saved.

Now there's three of them
on the loose:

Michael, Birkhoff,
and Sean.

If you find them unarmed,
shoot on sight.

No!

We start killing each other,
and we're lost.

We didn't start this.
Chris?

Birkhoff got the jump on me
in the server room.

He took my gun and shot down
Vincent in cold blood.

He would have killed me too
but said I needed to live

to pass on the message that
no one will survive tonight.

No! No!
There's no way he said that.

Does anyone here
believe this?

Just finish
the damn transfers.

Rachel, listen to me.

No, you listen to me.

Most of us
will get out of here tonight.

Your pals made
a different choice.

They stashed
the Black Box somewhere.

With our real identities
on it.

We need to find where it is.
No, we don't.

It can burn down
with the rest of this place.

What'd you think?
We'd leave it standing?

You can't save everyone,
Alex.

Go on, guys.
Get to it.

Too bad Amanda
won't be getting her prize.

Wasn't for her.

I was using her to sell it
to the highest bidder.

She's the one
who told you

you could override
the elevators, isn't she?

I knew you didn't
come up with it.

You got a big mouth
when my gun isn't in it.

Let's see yours.

Birkhoff,
we need to get topside.

Will the hack still work?

- It should.
- Good, let's go.

- We can't, not all of us.
- Why not?

Once the hack's open,
I gotta stay with it,

make sure the kids in Ops
don't shut it down.

Otherwise, you guys could
get stuck between floors.

Well, I'm not
leaving you behind.

Well, I'm not leaving
without Sonya.

So there.

I got goose bumps.

- Shut up.
- There's a panel nearby.

I can hack it
in 30 seconds.

Michael, you go.

I'm not leaving Alex
behind,

and I can't let Birkhoff
be braver than me.

Come on, come on.
Let's go, Birkhoff.

I'm moving as fast
as I can.

- Hurry it up, man.
- I'm hurrying.

All right.

Work faster.

At least give me a gun.

No way.

But you can take this back.

It's gonna get hot
in a second.

If I'm gonna
get Nikita back,

I'm gonna need you and that
in one piece.

So stay low and stay quiet.

Soon as the elevator doors
open,

I'll push them off.

My hero.

Birkhoff.

Get that elevator
back down here!

He's out!
Mikey's out!

So am I!

♪

What about Michael?

Birkhoff hacked the elevator,
so he could escape.

Took Owen with him.
Owen?

They had the Black Box.

That's got
the whole roster on it.

Our new identities
will be useless.

Should've thought
about that

before you tried to whack me
in the server room.

I knew it.

No, please.
No, no, no, no, no.

You think
I wanna hunt you?

You think I want
the government to hunt you?

I am you!
No, please.

No, you were
Percy's little stooge.

And then Nikita.
And then Ryan.

You're management, and this
has been a long time coming.

No!

Alex!

Stop! Stop!
Enough!

It's over!
Can't you see that?

Just 'cause they're dead
doesn't mean we stay.

You can't kill all of us.

You wanna go?

Go!

What are you
looking at me for?

I don't give the orders
around here!

You wanna stay? Stay!

You wanna go?

Go.

Helen?

Helen, come on,
we're going.

- I told you...
- I don't care.

We're getting out of here.
Let's go.

Why is she
out of her room?

You're not gonna hurt her
anymore.

I'm disappointed in you,
Amanda.

I thought we had
an understanding.

You, back downstairs.

Now!

I told you,
get back to your room.

Oh!

No! No!

I could have gotten us out.

Why?

Daddy's princess
has to ask why?

Why I wanted to hurt someone
who kept saying

that they
were gonna help me,

but waited
and did nothing for years.

You knew what
was happening downstairs,

but you let me suffer.

And why?

Because I was born
eight minutes later than you?

I could have been you.

I should have been you!

Father did me a favor,

because Helen
doesn't exist...

But Amanda does.

You're Amanda.

I told you
I was so much worse

than all you bitches
put together.

You were Helen...

The whole time.

Your sister tried to help you,
and you killed her?

She tried
to save herself.

She couldn't bear the guilt

of how she...
stood by, did nothing,

told no one.

She thought
that if she saved me,

it would absolve her
of everything.

Sound familiar?

You see Alex as living proof
that you can be redeemed,

but the truth is you can't.

You can't really save people,
can you?

You slaughtered
your family.

You had the freedom
to make your own choices,

and the story
ended up the same.

No, your lesson
means nothing.

For now.

But soon, you will
know the truth of it.

You did something to me
while I was out.

What did you do?

I used
our time together wisely.

What did you do to me?

I thought I'd never make it
out of that freaking hellhole.

Whoa.

Kind of in the middle
of something here.

We had a deal.

Time to hold up your end.

Fine,
just let me finish,

and then you'll
get what you want.

You know what?

I've waited long enough.

Now you've messed
with enough people's heads.

We leave now, or I'm putting
a bullet in yours.

If you shoot me,

neither one of us
get what we want.

Just let me finish
with Nikita,

and then we'll go.

I can't let you do that.

Don't tell me
you've gone soft.

Don't blame him.

I put a tracker on that box

right after we got it
from Ari.

Now, put the box down
and back away from Nikita.

And here I thought
you trusted me.

- Nikita.
- You have to get Amanda.

She's gone.

What about the Black Box?
Can we track it?

Amanda is gonna
have to wait.

Division?

We need to get back.

You might live
to regret that, Sam.

You might not live,
period.

I went through hell
to get this back.

Now it's your time
to deliver.

I want the names
of the contacts

we can sell
these secrets to.

I want my money.

And then I never want to see
any of your faces again.

Well, you're a man
who seems to really know...

Hey.

Shut up and drive.

Are you guys okay?

I think so.

Okay.

Sean, are you okay?

Yeah.
Yeah, I'm good.

Let me catch my breath.

I think I cracked a rib.

You need to go
to medical.

Are there even
any medics left?

One.
She's looking after Ryan.

Sean, there's something
that I have to tell you...

about Ryan.

You're the one
who shot him.

- How did you know?
- Hey.

When I mentioned his name
in the storage room,

your reaction...

I mean, that's when
I became certain

that you were not
the Alex I know.

I didn't mean
to shoot him.

I didn't mean--

I didn't mean
for any of this to happen.

I-I swear I didn't.

Sean, you have
to believe me.

This whole time, the thing
that matters to me the most--

Saving everyone.
I know.

No, you don't know.

I couldn't save my father.

I couldn't save Larissa.

And I-I couldn't
save those girls

that I left behind
in the brothel.

What's done is done.

I just want my girl back.

Now, help me
get to medical.

You know, one thing good,

I can finally
use that big screen

to start watching
some Monday Night Football.

Sean! Sean!

You got shot!

Somebody, help!

I can't find an exit wound.

Where's the blood?

Must be internal bleeding.

What?

I've seen this before.

Bullet gets lodged
in there...

and nicks a major artery.

There's nothing
you can do.

- No!
- Alex.

Promise me...

you'll find a way
to get better.

No, don't think
about that now.

Please!
Please, somebody, help!

Hey.
Alex, just promise me.

I promise.

Hey, Sean.

Look,
you were wrong before,

when you said the thing
that matters to me the most

was saving everyone.

You were wrong.

What I was trying to say is

the thing that matters to me
the most...

is you.

Hey.

This is where we first met.

Hey.

♪

No!

♪

♪

What happened?

Is there anyone left?

A dozen or so.

You guys need
to get to Ops.

♪

This was Rachel's doing?

Yeah,
he bled out internally.

Where's Alex?

She said
she was gonna stay.

She was waiting for you.

When we found Sean here,
she was gone.

Kept saying she was
trying to save everyone.

I guess, in the end,
she couldn't save him.

Not everyone
can be saved.
