Nikita (2010–2013): Season 3, Episode 2 - Innocence - full transcript

Right there, freeze!

Six minutes.

That's not bad.

So beautiful.

He's right, I'm a size five.

Pavé settings can be pretty tricky.

We can resize it
but I'll need to keep it for a couple of days.

Oh.

Don't worry, dear, I've been doing this
for 30 years, I've never had a problem.

- Of course.
- There you go.

You'll get the hang of it.



- The hang of...?
- Getting it sized and resized.

Once you're pregnant
those pretty hands will swell up...

...and you'll bring it to me,
and we'll size it up.

- Then you'll be back after the baby weight.
- Heh.

Um, she just got engaged.

Oh, believe me, time flies.

I can hardly remember
my marriage before children.

- Heh.
- Thank you, dear.

Thank you.

What was that?

Some poor girl's mother-in-law.

I mean, it's not like
you're thinking about that yet.

Or ever.

- Ever?
- Alex, could you really see me as a mother?



I think you'd be great
at whatever you choose.

It's not about what I picture,
it's about what you and Michael do.

I'm picturing lunch, you?

All right, my treat future Mrs.--

What is Michael's real last name anyway?

Birkhoff! Party time's over.

- Ryan's got new--
- What?

Ryan's got--

New intel.

Oh, yeah? Is it top secret?

Like your engagement?

- Ugh. Come on, man.
- What?

I'm just saying,
when your obvious choice for best man...

...gets left out, it raises issues.

- What issues?
- Trust issues.

- Did you not trust me to keep a secret?
- I didn't know when I was gonna ask.

I could've assisted you
in the planning phase.

Are you seriously miffed
that I didn't check with you first?

No. I'm mildly miffed
you didn't check with me after.

I had to find out when I was deleting
evidence from the Hong Kong Police.

To see "engagement ring"
among the line items.

- We're not going to Ops?
- No.

See, this is what I'm talking about,
man, you keep blindsiding me.

- Wade?
- He trained a lot of agents here, right?

I figure there may be conflicted loyalties.

I wouldn't worry about that.

Everybody pretty much hated his guts.
He was like the drill sergeant from hell.

Yeah, I see Percy
had him reassigned in '02.

No, not reassigned. Replaced.

Wade was Division's top trainer.

Every recruit under him had an almost
perfect record killing high-profile targets.

- What happened?
- Like I said...

...almost perfect.

One of the recruits
failed to complete his first kill mission.

So Wade beat him to death
with his bare hands.

Yeah.

Percy was like,
"I do the canceling around here."

Shipped the psycho out into the field...

...and replaced him with a sleeker,
broodier model of trainer.

Well, this psycho lifted a prototype
explosive from Fort Granville last night.

I think he's planning an attack.

RDX. Experimental shape charge.

Not ready for use because
its polymer bonds degrade in 48 hours.

Until then, it's a lethal explosive.

So he has only 48 hours to use them.

Thirty-six now,
and we have no clue where.

All we know is where
Percy reassigned him: Boston.

Cover was a travel agent.

Who even uses those anymore?

Honeymooners.

Honeymoon packages, excellent.

Let me just get your info for our file.

Kenny and Jenny Braxton.

We should be on file, we spoke
to someone before, who was that?

Ward?

- Wade?
- Oh, Wade.

He left the company last month.

I can pick up where he left off.

Maybe our file is still on his computer.

When he left,
he erased his whole hard drive.

If he ever comes back
I'm going to give him a piece of my mind.

- That's too bad.
- Okay, so, plan B...

...copy machine.

- Do you have a restroom?
- At the back, there.

Great, thank you.

I'm at the copier, ImageDay 6600.

So on the main screen,
hit Menu then Load Tray Table.

When it pops out, lift it up
and pull Lever C...

...should be the green lever.

Look at this....

- Okay, then what?
- Then get engaged without telling me.

I didn't know he was gonna tell Sonya first.
I didn't even know that Michael told Ryan.

Uh-huh. Now, imagine
all my frustration being the last to find out...

...and use that to pull the lever.

Oh, she goes, like, once a year.

- Really?
- It's stunning. Yeah.

Hard drive. You're a genius, Birkhoff.

True genius.

It's gonna take
a lot more kissing up than that.

--standard when you're on safari
is elephants.

- Elephants?
- Yeah, they can crush your car.

Payment authorizations, you recognize names?

Yeah, every Ruth and Gladys
in America that never heard of Orbitz.

Ha, ha. Fail, Wade. Fail.

Teach all the Krav Maga you want...

...in my class
we learn copy machines have hard drives.

He must've used his card
to make a reservation.

Better, online purchase.

Links to an address in Lexington,
Massachusetts.

Say hi for me.

You might wanna take a look at this.

Looks like some kind
of weird training area.

No!

It's okay, it's okay. We're not
gonna hurt you. What's your name?

Where's Wade?

I know who you are, you're Division.

He prepared me for this day,
and if you don't let me go...

...he's gonna kill you all.

Have you gotten her to talk?

Not a word.

Doc says no sign of sexual abuse.

- Physically, she's in good health.
- And mentally?

Severe case of disassociation.
Separation from her true emotional self.

It's one way of coping.
She had to be walled off to survive in there.

- Could take months to recover.
- We've got less than 28 hours...

- ...to find out what she knows.
- Any lead on her identity?

Name's Liza Abbott.

She was kidnapped walking home
from school two years ago.

- We have to get her home.
- She's got a point.

Hold on, we need to track down Wade
and the RDX.

Right now Liza is our only lead.

Her parents have been
in the dark for two years.

We will get her home safely after
we find out what she knows about Wade.

I promise.

Okay, I'll talk to her.
We've got some common ground.

Taken against her will,
kept underground, forced to train....

She wasn't his captive,
she was his recruit.

Hi, Liza.

I'm Nikita.

Look, we gotta talk.

This is a safe place,
you can tell me anything you want.

Anything at all and I'll listen.

You hungry?

No.

I heard you say the word Division.

Does that mean anything to you?

That's where we are right now.

I know everything about this place.

Let's talk about your place.

The place I found you.

How long's Wade
been keeping you in his basement?

You don't have to be afraid of him.
He can't get to you here.

Okay, you're right.

He does know this place very well.

Wade was held captive here for years.

- This is the place that scares him.
- Nothing scares him.

Liza-- Is it cool if I call you Liza?

- I don't know who that is.
- Your name is Liza Abbott.

Your parents are Elaine and Paul.

You live at 412 Orangewood Drive...

...and your favorite sport is gymnastics.

Mine is too.

I was just never any good at it.

Liza...

...you never have to see the place
he made you live, not ever again.

It's not a place.

It's my home.

Let there be peace on Earth

- Yo, Birkhoff.
- Mikey, anything?

Hand drawn blueprints,
with what looks like notes made by a kid.

Sending your way.

He had her map his place?

These are plans for a commercial building,
look at the structural supports.

Maybe we should consult
an actual engineer first.

Maybe you should use your actual eyes.

- Excuse me?
- Settle down and just...

...try and run a match.

Incoming call!

Where is she? Where's Sarah?

I don't know who Sarah is,
but Liza Abbott is safe.

Her name is Sarah, and if you know
what's best for you, you'll return her to me.

She's at Division,
and you're welcome to come join.

Everything you did under Percy's orders
will be pardoned...

...but you need to stand down
and come in.

Listen to you, your tough guy voice...

...it's a wonder you managed
to train anyone at all.

It's pathetic.

I didn't lose your job for you, Wade,
you did that.

You wanna know what pathetic is?

Pathetic is kidnapping a girl
to make up for recruits...

...you no longer have to order around.

I'm gonna give you one order,
and one chance to follow it: Release Sarah.

We'll release Liza to her parents
once we know she's safe.

It's not her safety
you need to worry about.

He's outside!

Mobile 3, cut him off!

Inbound, two minutes!

You know what?
I hate answering questions too.

So I'll make you a deal.

You can ask me anything you want...

...and I'll answer. How about that?

- Can I leave?
- Yeah.

Hup.

As soon as you tell me about Wade.

Why?

We need to know what he's planning.
We think he's going to hurt other people.

Liza, listen to me. This is going to
help you get back to your family.

What family?

What's the first rule
recruits are taught when they graduate?

- Don't phone home.
- Right.

Contact anyone from your old life,
you will be killed and so will they.

What if Wade taught that rule to Liza?

Maybe she's afraid he'll kill her parents
and that's why she won't talk.

Sonya, dispatch a survey team
to the Abbotts' house in Nyack.

- They may need protection.
- Thank you.

I'm glad you're onboard,
you're headed there too.

- For protection?
- They may know something...

...that can help us break through to Liza.
But they can't know what's going on yet.

Got you covered.

Agent Pierson--
Pierce, Ma'am, Special Agent Pierce.

I'm sorry, I don't recognize this man.

How's he connected?

He may not be.
It's just a possible lead we have to follow.

Mr. Abbott.

No.

- Please, sir, if you could take the time.
- Take my time?

Yes. There's no rush but it really--

Let me tell you about time.

They say it heals all wounds, that's true.

It works very slowly, but it works.

The pain gets less and less.

Then, one day...

...you see a face, hear a voice...

...you think it's her.

And the hole in your heart
gets ripped open all over again.

Just like when you hear about
another possible lead.

Please don't feel-- He's just--

Paul needs to move forward.

He wants us both to, but I can't.

That's why I wear this.

It's beautiful.

We got matching ones
when we went to Santa Fe one summer.

Mine's the mom, Liza's is the daughter.

I never take it off.

You know, you look just like
that Russian heiress who was in the news.

She disappeared years ago
and then popped back out of nowhere.

Alexandra Udinov.

I, uh, don't believe I read that story.

See, I follow every story just like that one.

Because sometimes they do come back.

Even when everyone else has given up.

See, I know in my heart...

...I'm going to see Liza again.

I know it.

Keep believing that, Mrs. Abbott.

Don't ever stop.

Liza was keeping this in her room,
in a very good and hidden spot.

- How'd you find it?
- Luck.

I thought you could use it to help her.

So. Figure out what building this is?

Too many cities, too little time.

The RDX is only lethal
for the next 11 hours.

Great. The only thing we got going
is Wade really wants Liza back.

- He's not getting her.
- Exactly.

I think she's key to his attack.

It's not just an attack. It's a test.

For her. Look at these numbers,
these are times added up.

- They're drills.
- What kind of test?

The only one Wade knows.
It's a kill mission.

- Liza's graduation.
- Or Sarah's, as he kept calling her.

It's a common tactic
in training child soldiers.

New names. Severs kids from
their real selves...

...makes them more malleable.

She kept this hidden in her room
all this time.

Kid's stronger than he knows.

Can you clear the south quarter for me?

I lived underground too.

They only let me out for two things.
Eating and training.

This was my nightmare. But I managed
to turn it into my little corner of the world.

Who kept you here?

A man who ran this place like a prison.
But I fought back.

- Percy?
- Oh.

Right, I forgot. You know everything
about this place.

Hey, you wanna see
something that no one else knows?

I've only shown this to one other girl.

There's a slit back here. Just deep enough
to fit a key card in it.

Right there.

So I hid one here.

I stole it from a guard.

So every night, I'd sneak out, I'd wander
around this place and memorize it.

Then I'd let myself back in
and I'd map it all out.

What? You wanna ask me something,
don't you?

Go ahead.
I told you, you can ask me anything.

What happened to him?

To Percy.

I dropped him down a 300-foot shaft.

I think we all hold on to something
that gives us hope.

Liza. Wade didn't find it. We did.

He has no idea you've been fighting back
all this time.

The interpreter of my past,
the inspiration of the future.

The interpreter of my past,
the inspiration of the future.

- The interpreter of my past--
- Liza.

He can't hurt you.
Or your family.

Liza, you don't have to be Sarah anymore.

You don't have to be Sarah anymore.

You can really stop him?

I'm going to stop him. As soon as
you tell me what he's planning.

He's going to New York.

He's going to The Hotel Normandy.

We've got a perimeter alert!

- What?
- Outside the barn.

It's Wade.
I told him she was here.

He's knocking on the wrong door.

Get responders to the surface
and take him out.

- I'll find out what's going on.
- You're needed in Operations immediately.

He's coming for me. I told you.

Hey. Look at me. Look at me.
Right in my eyes.

It's one man against all of us.

We are trained fighters. There's no way
he's getting past Division. Or me.

You don't understand.

- I need you to stay with her.
- Please don't leave me.

I'll be right back. Right back.

- He can't actually expect to win.
- Failure is not an option for this guy.

- Well, it's about to become one.
- Is it him?

- Yes. Wade is attacking Division.
- Where's Michael?

Taking Mobile one and two,
armed and armored.

Everyone else is securing internal.

Just stay calm. Okay?

I don't wanna be by myself.

I'm right here if you need anything.

- But I'm scared.
- It's okay.

Everything will be okay--

No.

Liza.

[CHATTERING

Whoo!

How did you exfil?

Through the auto bay.

Now you see why I had you study
all those maps of Division?

- Yes, sir.
- What does chance favor?

Chance favors the prepared mind.

Who interrogated you?

Someone named Nikita.

- Did she torture you?
- No.

Maybe it really is a new Division.

What?

Let me see your teeth.

I wasn't sure that they'd pass on
that I called you Sarah.

I heard the name, that's when
I knew to make my move.

As we drilled.

You're Jessica now.

- Yes, sir.
- And what does Jessica do?

She completes the mission.

- I'm sorry.
- We still have time. And you did well today.

You'll do better tomorrow.

- No match on The Hotel Normandy?
- Not from any angle.

- Square peg, round hole.
- She lied, just like she was trained.

- I thought I was getting through.
- Hey, you were. I watched you in medical.

She said five sentences.

When you helped me get clean, I never
let you know it was working. But it was.

I was just too afraid to show it.

What else did she say?

She said that Wade was the
interpreter of her past...

...and she was the inspiration of the future.
Something like that.

Interpreter of our past, glory of
our present, inspiration of our future.

It's the Pakistani national anthem.

Wait, bring up Wade's file.

Who was the target he failed to kill?

- Who, Wade?
- No, the recruit.

The recruit Wade beat to death.
Who was the target he failed to kill?

Some low-level politico from Pakistan
who was mixed up in opium.

Saeed Tamir.
Former Minister of Defense.

- Currently--
- Pakistani Ambassador to the U.S.

She was sending a message
under duress. She was trying to help.

Run a locate on Saeed.
Match plans to the Pakistani Consulate.

There's a NATO summit in New York
this weekend.

Tamir's scheduled to attend.

As for tonight, he's giving a speech
at an East-West Youth Summit...

...at the Pakistani Consulate.

Blueprints are a match.

So this is all about correcting
one failed mission.

Proving that he had a perfect record.

- Wade's lost his mind.
- I think we've pretty much covered that.

Alert the State Department.
They'll cancel the function.

Slight problem. The Youth Summit's
televised. It's already underway.

People, let's move. We have two targets.
Nikita, I'll see you up top.

Send everything to my office.

Ryan. Ryan.

- Why are there two targets on the board?
- Look, she assaulted an agent.

- Wade is the target. Liza is the victim.
- It's not that simple.

Yes, it is.
Change the target package.

I am doing this to protect you.

And I won't take chances
where that's concerned.

I gotta get there.

We have a new lead on a suspect.

Is it the man in the picture?

Elaine, it's very important that
you understand this is only a lead.

We will do anything we can to help.
Anything.

There's something you've already done.
It's why I'm here.

I don't understand.

I looked up that case
you were talking about. Alexandra Udinov.

Did you know she carried her father's watch
around with her?

I think I remember reading that.

Evidently, she looked at it every day.
As a reminder of who she really was.

If she carried anything special,
it would be her Indian girl.

Can I borrow yours? It could help.

Of course.

- I'll return it, I promise.
- Don't worry about that. Just find Liza.

Let there be peace on Earth

The peace that was meant to be

With God as our Father

Brothers all are we
Let me--

Nikita.

- This is her Mom's. Matching set.
- Awesome, Alex.

- Now I just gotta get in there.
- Any line on Wade?

- Michael's checking the perimeter. Join him.
- Copy.

Okay, Nikki, take the first hallway on the left.

I used to monitor my recruits' missions
from a van. Wade could be anywhere.

I'm picking up an encrypted
wireless frequency nearby.

It's an ad hoc network.

- Tell me it's close.
- You're right underneath it.

Madison Building. Tenth Floor.
Can't get more specific.

Liza?
Liza, I know you're in here.

- Birkhoff?
- Yeah?

The marked points on these plans.
They're not just random stars.

They're vents.
She's in the ducts.

Ladies and gentlemen. I can think of no
better way to kick off a NATO conference...

...than with an East-meets-West
Youth Summit.

Our youth is our future...

...and in turn, the inspiration
for our international policy making.

Sixty-five countries are represented
in New York this weekend...

...but in their youth,
we have unlimited global possibilities.

Four minutes.

Weapon armed and set.

Begin egress.

Our youth is our future....

The vents are the only unguarded
entrance to the basement.

Below the lobby
where Tamir's standing.

He's standing on a bomb.

So what I say to you today is this:

The ground has shifted right before us.

I'm in the basement.

Security's tight on the outside.
Change of plans.

- Detonate now.
- But, sir....

Detonate now and escape in the chaos.
Remember, chance favors the prepared.

- Birkhoff, servo-rifle. Same model.
- On it. I'm on it.

Hey there, Michael. Just in time
to see how it's done for real.

I'll get to you right after, I promise.

Whoa.

Easy.

- Nikita. Nikita's here.
- What?

Detonate!

Liza. Honey, this isn't you.

You can change your mind right now
and you won't get in trouble. I promise.

Where'd you get that?

Your Mom gave it to me.
She kept hers all these years.

Do you still have yours?

She told me to tell you
that she loves you.

And she's still waiting for you.

What is the delay?

Jessica!

- Birkhoff!
- Hang on.

Hang on, I'm downloading
my sweetness to your mobile now.

Okay. Get it close to the servo.
Within ten feet.

That's easier said than done.

I am Wade's servo-gun.
I now betray my overlord.

Exterminate.

Exterminate.

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

So one whose future
depends on our mutual progress....

Your name is Liza Abbott.

Your parents are Elaine and Paul.

You live at 412 Orangewood Drive.
And you're really good at gymnastics.

Your Mom says please come home.

Jessica. Detonate now or
you will know what pain truly is.

Who's Nikita?

My recruit.

It's okay, honey.

We're gonna get you home, okay?

We're gonna get you home.

Transpo's ready. Thought you might
wanna see this one through.

Yeah. I wouldn't miss it for the world.

- One question, though.
- What's that?

The Indian girl necklace.

She hid it for two years.
Wade never found it, but you did.

Recruits seem to think their rooms
hide behind an invisible force field.

You searched my room?

Do you remember
Percy's routine inspections?

Uh, yeah. I always passed them.

Yeah, that's because I was the one
who found your key card.

The crack in this wall
wasn't as hidden as you thought.

And you never ratted me out?

I always had your back.

Look familiar?

Can I, um...?
Can I go over the cover story again?

Of course, if you want.

So Wade took me coming home
from school.

He locked me in his basement
and told me I was his new daughter.

He didn't hurt me,
but he never let me go.

Yesterday I heard a gunshot from upstairs.
After I was brave enough to look...

...he was lying dead on the kitchen floor.

He shot himself.
So I picked up his phone and dialed 911.

And you've never heard
of the Pakistani Consulate.

- Or Division.
- What's Division?

Exactly.

I'd probably make a really good agent
one day, huh?

Hello? Just kidding.

Seriously, though, I'm probably one of
the youngest girls you've ever saved, right?

There was one other girl.

Liza, honey. Alex is gonna walk you up
to the house now, okay?

- Me? Don't you want to...?
- No.

I got the last girl.

I want you to have this one.

Get her home.

Come on.
