Nikita (2010–2013): Season 4, Episode 6 - Canceled - full transcript

Impressive.

Not many recruits
could take down

a guard nearly twice their size.

He had the superior training
and conditioning.

All you had were your instincts

and your teeth.

Normally, such actions would be

cause for immediate
cancellation.

But you've only been here
a few days

and Division
is all about second chances.

- I want out.
- But of course.



When you're ready...

When you learn that
brute force will never be

as effective as deception.

You can either be
powerful and beautiful,

or you can be a wild animal.

But you have to choose.

I can't decide for you.

So the question is,
who will you be?

Aah!

Get down! Get down now!
Get down!

- Hello, Phillip.
- Hey, wait, wait, wait!

We can discuss this.

No more deals,
no more illusions!

Ryan sacrificed
himself for the truth.



Now it's your turn.

There were others.

It wasn't just me,
there were others.

I know that.
Why do you think I'm here?

Their names.

This is the contact file.

It's all of them,
the entire group.

You can't let it get back to me.

They'll retaliate,
no matter where you hide me.

Oh, trust me.
No one will ever find you.

- One down.
- Seven to go.

Federal authorities
have yet to comment on

what caused the explosion,
but marshals have confirmed

that this was the convoy
transporting Phillip Jones,

the former CFO of MDK.

- What the hell is she doing?
- Don't you people knock?

Exactly what she told you
needs to be done.

She's taking out the group.

And I told her there's
a process, investigate,

collect evidence,
ferret them out.

We can't just go around
killing these people,

even if they're dirty.

Why not?
Sounds like a plan to me.

Hard to believe, but there are
ways of getting things done

that don't involve
illegal activities.

And now Ryan's dead.

You're saying you
agree with this?

No.

What I'm saying is,
she's just getting started.

So we've given her the
Presidential Medal of Freedom.

She's a national hero.

Now she's out there
assassinating charter members

of the Fortune 500.

Be sure to get my neck,
would you?

Of course.

Our government forbids
the assassination...

Don't make me laugh.

Our government trained her
to be an assassin.

And she never misses her target.

So what?

Nikki's wiping out the elites
that killed Ryan

and tried to start
World War Ill?

Oh, no.
We don't want that.

Let's say Ryan Fletcher's
intel is correct,

and this group
has planted 54 doubles

in key positions of power
around the world.

What happens after,

when Nikita kills
the puppet masters?

There would be sleeper agents
operating off book,

military officers,
executives, politicians.

This is why you need
to get us off the base.

We're the only ones
who can rein her in.

- I don't think that's...
- You are not gonna find her.

Sonya's already looking for her
through Shadownet,

but there's only so much
we can do from a desk.

We need to be on the ground,
that's how we'll find her.

Yeah, but why should we?

Look, Nikita wants to reduce
the 1% of the 1% to 0.

I say pull up a chair
and pass the popcorn.

You really want
innocent people to die?

Because that is
what is going to happen.

Come on, Mikey,
she wouldn't let that happen.

You really think
you know her that well?

But you weren't there
in the very beginning.

You didn't see her
when she first came in.

This is her fourth incident
in her first week,

and now Damon's
missing half his ear.

Everyone knows Damon likes
to knock the girls around.

It was inevitable one of them
decided to knock back.

Well, it's one thing
to go after a guard,

it's another to attack someone
who's trying to help her.

She needs training
like any recruit.

No, this is different.

She doesn't fight for a purpose.

She fights as if something's
trying to get out of her.

She's...

- Special.
- Dangerous.

I'm going to recommend to Percy

that we cut our losses
and cancel her.

You know, the entire time
we were talking,

she was trying to figure out
a way to kill me.

Her tactical sense is intuitive.

If we could just harness
that talent,

she could be the greatest agent
Division's ever known.

But if we can't control it,
she could be the weapon

that destroys us all.

What does that prove?

She did destroy Division.
What's wrong with that?

It's not about Division
or training or even Amanda.

It's about Nikita
and what is deep inside of her.

It's...

a darkness.

Look, Amanda showed
her happiness,

the finish line,
and she stole it all away.

I mean, that's enough to turn
anybody upside down.

Look, 10 years ago,
when I said she could end up

destroying us all,
I was talking about Division.

But now, I'm talking
about the world.

As much as I love her,
I can't let that happen.

Stop her.

Do whatever you have to do.

Yeah, but you said
she wouldn't come after us.

I underestimated her
desperation.

Great.

Can you make sure
to let Howorth,

Wells, and Kwon know that?

Oh, wait, you can't.
They're dead.

The priority at the moment
is to make sure

you and the rest of the group
remain safe.

Look, Nikita works best

when she can divide and conquer.

I suggest you deny her
that approach,

and fortify
to a single location.

No, this place
is totally off the grid.

I ran it through
a dozen shell companies,

so it wouldn't show up
under my name.

Perfect.

I'll come prepared
with some recommendations

on how to deal with Nikita.

No.

I'll call the others,
and we'll figure out Nikita.

And then we'll discuss you.

Me?

Yeah, this group
has enjoyed success

from a position of absolute
secrecy for generations.

All that started to change
once we brought you on board.

I hardly think I can be blamed.

Look, I'll bottom-line
it for you,

this meeting

is for decision-makers only,
all right?

Your history shows you're not
someone who can be in charge.

It's just something
you're not capable of.

Hey, but I'll put in
a good word for you.

You have no idea
what I'm capable of.

From our last victim.

Same as the one
that Sam and I found

from a shoperative in Zurich.

Great.

Let's hope they're on the
same friends and family plan.

I got something.

A message.

Looks like Trevor Adrian
called a meeting.

These are GPS coordinates.

Somewhere near Binghamton.

It's a few hours away.
We can be there soon.

Nikita, you sure about this?

It's perfect.

They'll all be
in the same place.

Right, which means
a frontal assault.

Not picking them off one by one

from the shadows anymore.

So far we've managed to keep
your name out of the news.

But this?

This will get loud.

Let it get loud.

You know that I'm with you
no matter what.

You want to invade the moon,

and I will find
the next rocket ship.

But please,

think about the line
that you're about to cross.

You fought so hard
to clear your name,

and you're finally
being recognized

for who you really are, a hero.

Alex,

you've always said that you've
learned so much from me.

And you know what?

I've learned a lot from you too.

I've learned to stop
running from who I am,

embrace my identity
the way you have.

That is how I know
I'm not a hero.

Birkhoff, get Shadownet up
and running.

All right, might take a minute.

Sonya's getting us an uplink
to the NSA's sat servers,

give us an eye in the sky.

NSA?

Yeah.

Dad gave me access.

We're official now, remember?

- Give me a gun.
- What?

Give me a gun.
We've got company.

Give me a gun.

Whoa.

Easy.

Stand down.

Colonel Slocum?

- Who?
- From the JAG office.

He interrogated us
back at the base.

That was a debrief.

An interrogation
would feel a bit different.

You're here to interrogate?

Supervise.

Per Senator Chappell's request.

We're fine on our own.

It's not an option.

This isn't a field trip
to find a lost camper.

It's a matter of
national security.

You know what, JAG officer,

we've had enough
of you soldier types.

Why don't you take
your army of two

and go clean each other's
gun somewhere?

You don't get it.

You haven't been released.

You're out on a temporary pass,

which means you are
still our responsibility.

You may be used to breaking laws

all over the planet,
but not anymore.

This is a military
operation now.

That's the last of them.

They're all here.

What the hell is that?
Come on.

You two stay here.

Away from the windows now!

Hi.

We haven't officially met.

I need access
to the security cameras

at Mr. Adrian's house.

Yes, the one upstate.

Of course he knows
I'm doing this.

Hello?

Lionel.

Amanda.

Why can't you stay dead?

It wasn't a good color on me.

What do you want?

To pass along a tip.

Nikita and Alex have just
infiltrated Trevor Adrian's

compound in upstate New York.

Gathered there with him
are the three remaining members

of their group.

And you're telling us
this because?

Well, we both have
a common goal.

We both want them out
of commission.

You mean your bosses.

Not anymore.

For a while, I thought
they could be useful partners.

But it turns out they're just
another group of self-involved,

over-privileged men
who think they know

how best to control
other people's destinies.

Well, if that's
the way you feel,

why don't you let Nikita
finish the job?

Because she won't stop
with them.

Once she's through,
I'll be her next target.

Obviously, I don't want that.

I don't think you want her
going down that path either.

She's murdered three people
in cold blood.

What happens if she turns
Adrian's place

into a slaughterhouse?

Do you really think there'll be
anything left of her soul then?

Got him.

Trevor Adrian, heir to the
Adrian industrial fortune.

Six residences listed,

None of them
in upstate New York.

Hang on, maybe there's
something off the books.

All right,
there's a few properties

that fit the bill.

Yeah, I think I got it.

You got thermal?

Thanks to Sonya, I do.

Six heat signatures inside.

Cluster pattern suggests
four are hostages.

Get us there, now.

You have to understand, alright?

We... we don't know what goes on

in our operations
at a day-to-day level.

Alright? It's really Amanda
that you're after.

I'll get to her soon enough.

Yeah, but she won't
be easy to find.

What if we give her to you?

You know, maybe
we could work out a deal.

Yeah?
You want to make me an offer?

Give me Ryan Fletcher back.

Can you do that?

Hello?

Nikita, you don't
have to do this.

There is another way.

We tried the other way,
and now Ryan's dead.

Ryan wouldn't have wanted...

Ryan wanted to get the group.

He's why I'm doing this.

Amanda wants you to do it, too.

How do you think we found you?

She wants you to do
her dirty work for her.

You do this, and she wins.

Nikita, we've got company.

You sent troops?

What?
No, we didn't send anyone.

I did.

I made it very clear.

This is a military operation.

You need to come out
before anyone gets hurt.

Who else is still out there?

Force Recon.

And they're on a hair trigger.

Okay, just hold them off for me
for a little bit longer.

Nikita, I am not here to run
interference for you.

I know.

And I know that
they asked you to do this.

They put you up to being
my personal connection, and...

No one asked me to do anything.
I'm here on my own,

and I am telling you... Stop this
before it goes too far.

Michael, you don't understand.

I'm about to get
the list of doubles.

And then what?
What are you gonna do with it?

I don't really have many
options,

but I'm gonna get this out
to the world today.

Then it won't matter
what they do to me,

because the whole world
will know the truth.

Nikita, more than anyone,

you know how dangerous
the truth can be.

This is how we destroy them.

But what about
the collateral damage?

- I don't care!
- Yes, you do.

Remember that you do...

I need you to do something.

This is an experimental
neurotoxin.

Odorless, tasteless.

It's designed to be
in a person's system

and be undetectable,
until it turns their organs

into blood pudding.

Probably recognize it,
since MDK designed it.

Give me the list of doubles,

or you'll get to see how good
your scientists really are.

Who wants a shot?

If you're gonna kill us,
get on with it.

For God's sake, Carl.

Don't you see
she's playing with us?

This is just cheap theatrics.

No, no, no.

Ugh.

The bar, uh, top drawer.
There's a false bottom.

Call it up.

That's it.

Every political official,
diplomat,

and military officer
in the world we've replaced.

Under no circumstances
can she be allowed

to get that list
out of the house.

I don't care
what you have to do.

Break cover if you must.
Are we clear?

What are you doing?

Sending it to the news outlets.

- Which ones?
- All of them.

It's gonna go so far and wide,

no one's gonna be
able to cover it up.

She's searching
for a wireless signal.

She's getting ready to transmit.

Major, do your snipers
have a shot?

No, no, no, not yet.

Birkhoff, are you ready?

Almost there.

Jamming field active.

Birkhoff.

Keep her on that line.

Why, what are you gonna do?

Plan B.

Michael,
stop the jamming shield.

This isn't Michael.

Sam.

Look, I get it, okay?

I know these bastards
deserve to pay.

But as much as I hate
to admit it, Michael's right.

This ain't the way.

What do you care?

There's no profit in it for you.

Okay.

All right.
I deserve that.

But now you got to listen to me.

You remember London?

I had a black box in my hand,

and I was gonna release
the secrets to the world.

You stopped me before
I made the same mistake

you're about to make right now.

You were suffering
from regimen psychosis, I'm not.

My head is clearer
than it's ever been.

It's not about
where your head's at.

If Owen was here,
he'd say you're hurting

and that now's the time
to trust the people

that care about you.

He'd tell you it's not
about your head,

it's about your heart
and your soul.

That's what Owen would say.

Patch me in to Alex's comm,
and only Alex's comm.

Alex, it's Michael.

Don't let Nikita know
you can hear me.

What are you doing?

You need to stop her
from making this mistake.

These are the people
that killed Ryan.

Why are you protecting them?

It's not about them.

It's about that list
she's trying

to send out to the world.

Do you know what'll happen
if she succeeds?

No, Sam.
I know what I'm doing.

Tell Michael
to stop the jamming field,

or I kill them.

All!

Hey, she's gonna shoot 'em.

Nikita, if you start shooting,
the Marines will attack.

Then it's your job to make sure
I don't die in vain, isn't it?

Snipers have a shot.

Do we have a green light?

Nikita, please.

I have nothing left.
If you die, I die.

All right.

You're right.
We'll do it your way.

Thank you.

Stand the snipers down.
Repeat, stand down.

Need to access a secure server.

Okay.

Birkhoff will open
a data channel,

transfer the file through it.

Once we receive the file,
the Marines will back off,

and then you can
come out peacefully.

Birkhoff, did you get it?

Did you get the file?

I did, and I sent it
someplace safe.

What are you talking about,
someplace safe?

Nikki, remember
operation Red Harvest?

If you do, then you'll know
where I sent the file.

SGITIG SGFVGI', SHITIG pass COdG.

What the hell are you doing?

Nikki's right.

Too many secrets, too many lies.

- Turn that file over now!
- Whoa.

- Relax.
- Put it down!

Not until
he turns over that file.

I will put all of you down!

Easy-

Nikita, what are you doing?

Birkhoff's giving me
a second chance.

I'm not gonna waste it.

Don't do this.

Alex!

Get out of my way.

The person who trained me
would want me to stop you.

You saved me once.
Now I'm trying to save you.

We can't release that file.

This is Slocum.
Raid! Raid! Raid!

Get down, get down, get down!

She's down!

- I surrender!
- Down on the floor!

She's being processed right now.

And we brought in the
Udinov woman as well.

She's in D-block.

I also arrested
and booked that hacker.

That list is still out there.

If we're to have
any hope of recovering it...

What about Amanda?

No sign of her at the house.

Senator,
I requested your approval

to isolate F-block.

Relax. It's done.

Doesn't mean I like it.

Sir, I need the entire wing
to be isolated.

We all know
how dangerous she is.

Cut the crap.
I know why you want it.

And it's not supposed
to happen on American soil.

Now what about
the rest of the team?

I didn't see the need
to bring them into custody.

Rest assured,

they are no longer
part of the process.

Think there's gonna be
a lot of security?

Take a wild guess.

Got enough firepower?

I just hope it's all worth it.

Nikita's in a real bad spot
right now,

and we kind of put her there.

She knew what she was
getting into.

I'm not giving you that list.

This is the most secure wing

in one of the most secure
prisons on the planet.

Solitary cells
with steel-reinforced doors,

and of course,
constant surveillance.

Although that's been shut off.

And the entire Wing's
been emptied.

For what? Torture?

Good luck.

No, not torture.

I just needed to make sure
no one would ever hear or see

what's gonna happen here.

All clear!

You just had to twist
the knife, didn't you?

No, Nikita,
I'm here to thank you.

I control
this wing of the prison,

and thanks to you,

I control 54 agents
all over the world.

Highly placed, powerful,
and completely loyal to me.

If I use the Sarin gas,
the casualties will be greater.

Impressive work.

And they all seem
to respond well.

Well, they all went through
the same adjustment

you went through.

And now they all know
who's in charge.

I still have that master list
on an encrypted cloud server.

No, you don't.

Birkhoff isn't the only one
who remembers

Operation Red Harvest.

The list wasn't
that hard to find.

You erased it?

I bought the company
that owns the server,

and then I shut down
the entire server farm.

This is it, Nikita.
This is the end.

I'm a new woman because of you.

I'm transformed.

Your face is transformed.
Is that a gift from Ryan?

Oh, no, this is nothing compared

to what you've endured.

All that killing.

I know how it must
have torn you apart,

resurrecting the monster inside.

I know because I understand

where that darkness was formed.

The abuse you endured
growing up.

I know because I was formed
in the same place.

But today, I rose above it all.

It wasn't easy.

You were always
a natural leader.

I didn't encourage it,
of course, not inside Division.

But after you left me,
this team you put together,

they followed you...

They looked to you.

Ryan gave his life for you.

I had to claw my way
to the top, past Percy,

past Oversight, the Group.

A long time ago,
I gave you a choice,

brutality or deception.

You should have listened to me.
And to Michael... to Alex.

I'm going to leave you here...

where no one will ever see
or hear from you again.

But you can take comfort
in knowing

that you will never
be forgotten.

I have doctors who can
take this scar away.

But I'm going to leave it
as a reminder.

Not only for what you did today,

but for every wound
you ever inflicted on me.

But, Amanda...

I'm not done.

Slocum!

I'm not a monster.

I just wanted you
to think I was.

Show her, Nerd.

I didn't kill anyone.

And I did listen
to Michael and Alex and,

yes, even you.

Didn't I, Alex?

Brute force will never be
as powerful as deception.

We had to scare the crap
out of some top-shelf dirtbags.

They actually thought
they were going to die.

From the last victim,
the plan was to work our way

through the group,
all the way to you.

But you called a meeting,
which made it that much easier.

Adrian's house was the big show,

and we made him the star.

It was all about
getting that list.

The neurotoxin was a modified
form of tetrodotoxin.

Death-like symptoms,

but without
the lasting side effects.

But that gun.
Well, that was Nikita's idea.

Non-lethal tranq rounds.

Look and sound like
the real thing,

but all they do
is put you to bed.

After we got the list,
Nerd went to work.

Nikki gave me full access
to Adrian's laptop.

I tracked down
all the Shop facilities

he'd been talking to.

Turns out, it was just one.

Western Pennsylvania, right?

Converted coal mine?

Your roster listed it
as Replication Center.

Fancy name for toy factory,

where you make
your little wind-up dolls.

But you like to keep
the originals, don't you?

Nobody knows that
better than me.

But none of this could have
happened without Slocum.

He was our audience,
and through him, you.

How did you know
he was a double?

Ryan told me on his deathbed.

Slocum is a double.

And trust me,
I wanted to kill Slocum

and every single member
of the group

just to get to you.

I was gonna rip your guts out
and wipe the walls with them.

But my friends, my family,
they reminded me

that I'm better than that
and that the right thing to do

would be to lure you in,
not kill you.

Under no circumstances
can she be allowed

to get that list
out of the house.

I don't care
what you have to do.

And in order to do that,
I needed you to feel

that I'd lost my way.

I needed to become
the destroyer that you met

all those years ago.

Remember her?

I do.

She is a part of me.

And she always will be,
but she's not everything.

You asked me to choose,
who will I be?

This is my choice.

There are people out there
loyal to me.

They will find me.

No one will ever find you.

Welcome back to the basement...

Helen.

Nikita!

That was a risky move, letting
the Marines take you down.

Right up till then,
I thought you had really

gone off the rails.

I'm sorry we couldn't bring you
into the loop sooner.

The only way
this was going to work was

if everyone bought into it.

Don't apologize.

Unlike the people
I usually work with,

you guys actually
get things done.

The coordinated sting
started 38 minutes ago.

CIA, FBI, Interpol all working
in concert to bring in

the doubles around
the world, quietly.

Thank you, Senator.

No.

Thank you.

Your pardons have
all been signed.

This chapter of history is over,

and a new one's begun,
for all of you.

All but one of us.

Ryan Fletcher's service
has been recognized.

He'll be remembered.

You saw the lies.

You knew there'd always be

someone who would
abuse their power.

That's why you looked to us.

You made us better heroes.

Now Ryan has given us
a gift, freedom.

We're here tonight
to honor an extraordinary...

There will be a car outside
the west entrance

after the speech.

Stationed two men there.

Is that really necessary?

It's a human rights conference.

They don't get that rowdy.

Hey, I'm trying
to be responsible.

Isn't that what people
with jobs do?

Hey, you need the money.

The company's not so bad either.

Dinner later?

Why, you need someone
to open the wine?

No, I don't drink,
which you should know about me.

Any other surprises?

Alexandra Udinov.

Now we can find
our place in the world,

wherever that might be.

So, Shadowwalker is coming out
of the shadows.

That's one way
of putting it, yeah.

Does this mean
you're going legit?

Legit?

Yeah, I don't know.

I've never really done lockstep.

I've got a girl waiting
for me in London.

She convinced me
sharing the code

was the right thing to do.

Yes. Shadownet.

You claim this will protect
regular folks against

government agencies
that spy on them?

So this is what?

Digital freedom for the masses?

I'd say more like
open-source anarchy.

Yeah, I like that.
Write that down.

- Open-source anarchy.
- Okay.

Hyphen in between
open and source.

You know, this is gonna
freak some people out.

Good.

That's good.

Freedom's a scary thing,
though.

We've got no one to answer to
but ourselves.

We used to answer to them.

The stepchild nobody wanted
but the world needed.

You think they'll be mad
we eloped?

Well, it's not like
we planned it.

I have an idea
for the honeymoon.

Now that we're finally free,

I get why we fought so hard.

The real gift isn't freedom.

It's what we get to do with it.

I don't know about you,
but I could never just sit

on a beach anyway.
