Nikita s03e06 Episode Script

Sideswipe

Let's be honest, sacrifice is for losers.
I mean, martyrdom is what it is.
It's exciting.
Your family's proud of you, also sad.
But you're not around to reap the rewards, unless we're talking about the afterlife, which, come on, big roll of the dice.
I mean, sure, there could be There could also be one 77-year-old virgins.
You never know.
We're not interested in suicide.
Neither am I.
That's why I say live longer, stay remote.
With the Mark 2 Longarm, you can resolve your differences from the comfort of your living room, remote target from anywhere in the world with an optional Sat upgrade.
On this model, we've sacrificed nothing, because sacrifice is for losers.
And what does that make you, Cyrus? What's this? Come on, you guys didn't think you were the only ones bidding on this, did you? That's exactly what you told us.
You're right.
Shoot her.
Whoa.
Hey, I don't even have a gun.
Now I do.
Me too.
Nice to finally meet you, by the way.
Big fan.
Let's go back to Division.
I'll get you an autograph after I bring you in alive.
Thanks.
But right now I'm a little more concerned about you.
That's a Glock 17, ten box mags, sights are off-- classic choice-- whereas this is a state-of-the-art, air-cooled, seven six-- Seven six two armor-piercing discarding sabot with an automated reload.
You sold one to Wade.
He used it on us.
Damn it.
You know, it's guys like that that give us rogue agents a bad name.
You're the one currently pointing an assault cannon at my fiancee.
Fiancee? Congrats.
I walk, he lives.
You keep the Longarm.
Think of it as a wedding present-- mazel tov and all that.
Oh, I don't know.
Honey, wasn't there a problem with the override systems thing? Yes, yes, Birkhoff found it kind of easy to hack.
How about that autograph? How about that wedding present? - Anything you want, name it.
- Amanda.
Nikita This is her handiwork, her latest triumph.
I still think you should let me kill her.
Death would be a mercy, Anne.
She doesn't deserve mercy.
What does she deserve, then? Nikita thinks she can run Division without selling her soul.
She's wrong.
She's going to have to sacrifice more than she could ever imagine.
That is the lesson she needs to learn.
How will she learn it? The same way she's learned everything she knows-- I teach her.
When? If one is patient, the opportunity will always present itself.
Perhaps sooner than anticipated.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
There it is.
Is the mole sending another message? They're not done yet.
Can we piggyback our trace to Amanda's location? I'm trying.
It keeps getting lost in dark space.
Okay, okay, just try and isolate the terminal they're sending from.
Rerouted multiple times.
Son of a bitch.
How does he keep doing this? How do you know it's a he? Okay, daughter of a bitch.
Whoever it is, they're in the building right now.
I got to go tell Nikki.
You keep trying to trace the source terminal.
Do we have a clear path to interrogation? Yeah, no one's going to see you.
- So what about the mole hunt? - We're closing in.
Mole is active.
He knows you're back, but not where you went or who you got.
Who do you got, by the way? Birkhoff, hey, how did you manage to hack the Longarm? You guys busted your ass to find this guy, the gun guy? He knows where Amanda is.
I told you, I haven't seen Amanda in years.
Why do you want her so bad? She declared war on us.
VZ58 super shorties with modifications.
Your modifications.
We recovered these on a raid of Amanda's safe house in Luxembourg.
Once I figured out that you sold them to her, I put you at the top of our list.
I made a list? Yeah, when you cut out your tracker and refused to return to Division.
Percy put me into the world to be his guy who could get anything-- special orders, untraceable gear, stuff that you could drop in the field that wouldn't point back to Division.
The world was my office-- champagne, yachts, and women.
So excuse me for not immediately reporting back to the underground bunker in New Jersey when so commanded.
My heart breaks for you.
It really does.
But if you ever want to see the sun again, you're gonna tell me exactly what I want to know.
I like the sun.
Amanda-- you supply her.
I want to know where you're supplying her next and when.
She moves around.
I deal mostly with her boyfriend now-- Russian guy.
Ari Tasarov.
Always making special orders.
Some of the stuff I can't get, some I can.
I'm on the trail of a next-gen weapon right now.
I was gonna pick it up this week in the Caribbean-- St.
Lucia.
- And when you get it? - I contact Ari.
He tells me where to meet.
You grab him, you get to dragon lady.
And why do I smell a catch? 'Cause there is one.
Not a good idea.
You just caught this guy.
I know, but this is how we get Amanda.
Listen, you're gonna love it.
Birkhoff.
This is what Cyrus is buying-- Sideswipe.
It's a missile jammer.
Actually, it-- actually, it's a multispectral array.
It can trick anything you shoot at it, from an RPG to a Sidewinder.
It jams missiles.
And other stuff.
Look, check it out.
The Pentagon slipped a prototype to the Egyptian army for the war on terror.
But this man, General Tariq Rafat, has fled the Egyptian army, and he's taken the Sideswipe with him.
He's on his way to St.
Lucia to sell it to Cyrus.
What's Cyrus want with it? Profit.
Resell it to Ari Tasarov.
- What's Ari want with it? - More profit.
He plans to resell it to his old contacts in Russian defense.
Which would put their helicopters on par with ours in a heartbeat.
It'll never get that far.
We're gonna run a tight screen on Cyrus at the sale.
You get Sideswipe, we get Ari, but, you know, most importantly We get Amanda.
But first, we've got to put this snake back in the pit and give him the real tech-- risk it falling into the wrong hands.
Ryan, it's already in the wrong hands.
Amanda's got a mole in here.
She's hunting me.
I want her first.
The only way to get to her is through Ari.
Those two are attached at the hip.
Okay, Cyrus, let's make a deal.
Original air date on December 7, 2012 Ten men for surveillance? I need it.
Well, I need a security detail.
Don't be unreasonable.
When it comes to Nikita, I can be very unreasonable.
Look what happened in Luxembourg.
You happened in Luxembourg.
Your obsession with Nikita almost killed both of us, and now I have to recoup our losses.
- All you care about is money.
- Open your eyes, Amanda.
Our soldiers don't work for free.
They're hired with the money from the deals I made, money that is meant to build something.
After this deal, you'll have all the resources you could ever need.
Sometimes to get what you want, you have to make sacrifices.
You know, this tracker thing really ruins my bikini line.
Michael thought you might try to run when we get to St.
Lucia.
Michael So paranoid.
I know.
I told him to relax, everything's under control.
Aah! What the hell was that? I upgraded your tracker with a little voltage spike to the sciatic nerve.
Makes running a little bit ouch.
I thought torture was Amanda's thing.
Your lucky you didn't have one of Amanda's trackers.
They were paired with kill chips-- drop an agent like that if they got out of line.
We deactivated them, every last one of them.
You really think you can turn Division around, don't you? And you don't think I can? This place was designed to do some very bad things and keep 'em secret.
Old habits die hard.
You feel weak.
And you're angry because you feel weak.
You have a right to feel that way.
You're an addict.
You're not the only one in Division, which is why we do random searches.
Oxycodone from medical.
I didn't have any.
But you wanted to.
You will always want to.
And sometimes that need will become rage.
You can use that, Alex.
Take it easy on that arm.
It's not 100% yet.
I'm fine.
You don't look fine.
Have you heard from Sean? Michael, do you really want to talk to me about boys? No.
I'm just anxious to get back out there, that's all.
Yeah, well, don't be too anxious.
Jet leaves in 20.
So how many guys does the general usually roll with? Tariq? Four or five guys since they have the Sideswipe.
Shouldn't be too much trouble, once they see how relaxed I am chilling with my lady.
We got a couple minutes to kill at least.
Aah! Was that necessary? For Michael, it was.
He's got your head in a rifle scope right now.
Easy there, Romeo.
Can you believe this guy? I got two suits taking positions on the rooftop of the pavilion.
Tariq must be close.
They're packing sidearms, maybe a subgun.
I don't know if they've got vests, but maybe we should switch to A.
P.
rounds.
Alex, we knew they'd be packing.
We're not here to start a fight.
Something wrong? Just keep to your target.
You know, you've been on edge ever since we got off the plane.
If you want to talk about it, maybe I could-- Save me? Help.
Why do guys think they always need to fix or save or help? Look, I have no trouble with you getting Amanda or whatever you want, as long as I get what I want.
And what do you want? After we get the Sideswipe and we get Ari's location, you let me vanish.
Give me one good reason.
Because you owe me.
Ha.
Oh, this should be good.
How do I owe you, Cyrus? You think you're the only person that can track someone through their weapons? When you went rogue and declared war on Percy, you didn't just pick up a 12-gauge from Big 5.
That Beretta A.
R.
X.
with the ACOG scope and modified stock for your petite frame-- I tracked that particular cocktail through the back channels designed to make it untraceable and it led me to your fabulous loft in Chelsea.
Nice pad, by the way.
My favorite lair of yours, by far.
That A.
R.
X.
I got from Travis in, what, June 2010? You're telling me you knew where I was the whole time? The dealer's name was Trevor.
It was July, and I'm telling you I knew where you were the whole time, and I never told a soul.
Why? It's go time.
Sammy, have you seen Birkhoff? He's not in his club den? No, I was just there.
Can I ask you something? Have you heard this rumor about a mole? What rumor? Just whispers.
I thought maybe you heard something from the round table.
The round table? You know, Camelot Nikita's inner circle.
They always seem to know more than they're telling us.
Since you're dating Birkhoff, I thought maybe you heard-- How did you know I was dating Birkhoff? Come on, you know it's hard to keep secrets in here.
That's Division.
Someone's always watching.
Whoever it is, they're in the building right now.
Now, now, boys, no need to get paranoid.
We're buying goodies today, not carrying them.
He's clean.
General, how's that Rhino working out for you? Oh, I love it.
I plan to order a few more from you.
Make my day.
Baby, you got to try this out.
I'm gonna get you one.
No, I'm good.
I don't like guns.
This gun you're gonna love.
Trust me.
Let's get down to business.
We never fully settled on a price.
I think that's fair.
Nice.
Mind if I try? I don't have a missile for you to jam, but go ahead.
Nikita? Signal's blocked.
So is Cyrus' tracker.
Where the hell are you guys? That's not good.
All good? One problem.
She's an Interpol agent.
I'm under duress, and this meeting's about to get busted right now.
- You son of a-- - Take her! No.
Good luck.
He's down! What the hell are you-- Come on.
Come on! Come on! He has the Sideswipe.
And we don't have him.
Nice place you got here Very medieval.
Actually, it was rebuilt after the second World War.
The catacombs below-- they date back to the Crusades When blacksmiths were forging the blades of the holy wars.
I guess back then my business was God's business.
Amen.
We heard there was some trouble in St.
Lucia.
Anything we should be worried about? Not unless you're an Egyptian national wanted for war crimes.
It was only a matter of time before Interpol caught up with Tariq.
- Excellent work, Cyrus.
- Thanks.
Cyrus' tracker is back online.
Must have handed over the Sideswipe to Ari.
Where is he? Southern Spain.
Your payment.
It's all there.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a plane waiting.
Sideswipe, I hardly knew you.
How long will you be gone, dear? Not long at all.
I don't mean to impose, but do you mind if I get out of these clothes? It's been a long trip.
Down the hall.
Okay, we can have a team out there in under seven hours.
Forget it--he won't be there for more than one.
He's probably cutting out his tracker as we speak.
So we didn't get Tasarov.
He got the Sideswipe.
He's about to deliver it God-knows-where, and Cyrus is out in the wind.
We know where they met.
We know Ari is in Spain.
Amanda's probably there too.
Let's go now.
They won't be there.
They'll move on after Cyrus warns them.
He's team Amanda, remember.
No, he's team Cyrus.
He made that very clear.
Look, I have no problem with you getting Amanda or whatever you want, as long as I get what I want.
Well, he left us with zero.
Just a gun.
This gun you're gonna love.
Trust me.
Wait a minute.
What is it? Son of a You get what you want, I get what I want.
Krilov Industries.
"You owe me twice.
" What does that mean? Krilov, where is that? Ari's headed to Romania.
We grab him-- he will lead us to Amanda.
Feeling better? Like new, thanks.
But I better get going.
So soon? Well, you know how this business is.
Got to keep moving-- ugh! I can smell her on you.
I selected that perfume for Nikita years ago.
I know a lot of women.
I'm only interested in one.
All right, easy, easy.
You don't need that.
We're all friends here.
Nikita grabbed me a couple days ago.
She tried to edge in on my deal and get Sideswipe.
I shook her and came straight here.
Then why not tell us that when you arrived? Why lie? You get Sideswipe, I get paid.
The rest is just noise.
See, I don't think so.
I think you're protecting her.
Aah! I know you, Cyrus.
Remember our sessions? You used to talk about your father-- the sad tale of the police officer charged with corruption.
Rings a bell.
He was innocent, and everyone knew it.
But he still lost his badge and drank himself to death.
It must have been so sad for a little boy to watch someone he loved suffer so much.
I got over my issues.
You should try it sometime.
See, I used to think that this experience explained your aggressive neutrality.
No good deed goes unpunished, hmm? Wait, wait-aah! Aah! Aah! I told her.
She knows about Romania.
She knows about Ari's deal.
I think deep down you're more like your father than you want to admit.
I can see it.
There's good in you, and I'm betting Nikita saw it too.
But, now, this is something I can work with.
You see, Anne, I told you an opportunity would present itself.
The factory Cyrus told us about is abandoned, which means it's gonna be easier to raid, but we need to grab Ari and the Sideswipe before the Russians get there.
I can get an Alpha team in there.
Michael, you'll have to guard that door.
Alex, we'll need you on the roof.
Got it.
Birkhoff, the mole cannot get wind of this.
Where are you on the hunt? Tracking the source has been tough.
I did solve a big piece of the puzzle, though.
What? The messages aren't being sent in real time.
They're on a 30-minute delay.
Guys, we just intercepted a video call on our private relay.
It's Amanda.
Start a trace.
Futile trace is already in process.
Hello, Nikita.
I'm sorry I missed you in Luxembourg, but I had urgent business elsewhere.
Oh, no doubt.
You needed to find some rat trap to hole up in.
My new home is quite comfortable--thank you.
In fact, I have my very first houseguest right here-- a friend of yours.
Say hello to Cyrus.
He's no friend of mine.
Cyrus has been quite reticent when it comes to you, specifically what you two talked about back in Division.
It wasn't really that interesting.
Then this should be easy.
You tell me what Cyrus is holding back, and I give him the gift of a quick death, or I find out the truth my way-- your choice.
Do me a favor, Amanda.
Keep those ropes tight.
He's slippery.
You could've told her something false and spared him the pain.
That pain is gonna buy him time.
I'm going after him.
Where? Tracker says he's still in Spain--Andalucia.
That's probably where Amanda is.
Correction-- that's where Amanda's trap is.
She's luring you there.
That's why she kept his tracker online.
- Michael, I owe him.
- He made his choices.
I know.
That's why I got to go get him.
Nikita, you know I can't authorize this.
I won't stop you, but I can't send a team with you.
Yeah, I know.
I'm going alone.
No, you're not.
Okay, you can't be in Spain and Romania at the same time.
Your plan to get Ari and the Sideswipe is good.
You designed it.
Who's gonna carry it out? I'll do it.
I can prep a team, be wheels up in an hour.
I am just dying to say hello to Ari.
All right.
It's decided.
Let's do it.
I know.
I'll make sure they're covered-- both of them.
All right, all right, all right.
Filter program on.
Server protocols active.
Flux capacitor fluxing.
Ready.
Let's see your moley ass get out of this one.
Got ya! Oh, yeah.
Where have you been? I am hot on the mole.
Turns out they were sending messages on a 30-minute delay.
What about the source terminal? That has been a little bit trickier.
Ah.
Using a new filter program that hunts down rerouting algorithms.
Found the last relay, but it didn't, uh didn't find the source yet.
Where was the relay? Terminal on sublevel nine.
It just said "Nikita has left.
Destination unknown.
" Well, we should investigate that terminal and see what we can find.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'll, uh-- I'll go down there with you.
Don't let anyone see you in transit, just to be safe.
"Nikita has left.
Destination unknown.
" I bet I know where she's headed.
She's on her way to rescue you.
Nikita doesn't care about me.
Disagree, but that's why we test.
Car's ready.
We going somewhere? Goodbye, Cyrus.
It's just up there.
Is this the terminal the mole used? You tell me.
Seymour? How long? Since I've been here? Please.
Since we were together? Is that why we were together? Don't.
Was any of it real, what happened between us? Any of it? Take one more step, and I will kill you.
Then do it.
I'm dead anyway.
Amanda--she reactivated my kill chip.
On my way home to my apartment three weeks ago, a van pulled up, and this woman grabbed me-- Anne, she was a cleaner.
They threw me in the back of the van and-- Stop.
Stop it! Stop! I don't believe you.
She showed me the uplink.
Amanda's not here.
So she can't know if you asked for help, which you never did.
There's someone else inside.
She told me there was someone else and that they'd be watching.
And in Division, there's always someone watching.
You can't know that's true.
I can't know that it isn't.
She has me restricted.
I have to send her an update every two hours.
I haven't slept the night in weeks.
If I even walk in the direction of medical, which Amanda gas-bombed as a warning to me, her spy will see and tell her, and she will trigger the chip, and I will drop-- Okay, okay, all right.
All right.
I wanted to tell you.
I was so scared.
I was scared that they would see it on my face, and they would know.
Okay.
All right.
We can beat this.
When my people get back from overseas-- - No.
- Yes.
I'm gonna fill them in quietly, yes.
No, you can't tell anyone.
It could be anyone.
It's not Nikita, okay? It's not Michael or Alex.
- How do you know? - I know.
You don't know! You don't know! Okay, all right.
You need to calm down.
If there is another spy, they can't see you like this.
They can't know anything's wrong.
They have to think you're still with the program.
When do you have to send your next update? All right, we give them something-- something true but low value.
That'll buy us some time.
And then we will figure a way out of this.
No, we're in Spain.
She is in Romania.
Yeah, that's right.
Do you have the coordinates.
No, no, trust me.
Thank you.
All good? Let's hope so.
You? I will be.
Hey, whatever happens, I'm really glad you're here.
Please, you know I love Spain.
I know I pushed too hard on this.
All right, then do me one favor.
If Amanda really is here, push harder.
This time, kill the bitch.
Where is she? She's gone.
You really shouldn't have come for me.
How's it wired-- pressure plates? No.
No, it's remote.
She wanted to be the one.
Nikita so glad you could make it.
And I see you've brought your fiance-- what a nice surprise.
Congratulations, you two.
We're not here to chat.
Well, then let's start the lesson, shall we? If we get any closer, we're in the blast radius.
Nikita, just go.
Go! There's no way to disarm the bomb on site.
What's the point of a test I can't pass? It's not a test.
It's a lesson The first of many.
This one is simple.
To stop me, you're going to have to sacrifice the people you care about, even the ones you care about just a little, like Cyrus there.
As a bonus, your friends in Romania are about to suffer as well.
I'm sorry.
I told her.
Target reached.
Moving in.
Got you in view.
Hold positions.
Old news.
Ops, we got an empty nest here.
Ops, signal is lost.
Can you-- If you really wanted to teach me something, why aren't you here? It's not in the lesson plan, not this time.
I'll give you 20 seconds.
- Nikita, we have to go.
- I'm not leaving.
Listen to Michael.
She will kill you.
And believe it or not that would upset me very much.
Please, go.
No.
I get it now the lesson.
The things we care about can hurt us, so the trick is not to care.
Nikita, no! Let's see how well you learn.
What are you waiting for? Do it! Do it! What now? How did-- - Michael said you might need some backup.
Why'd you do this for me? Why'd you risk your life? Don't take this the wrong way, but I didn't.
Amanda wants to teach me a lesson, she can't do it if I'm dead.
She cares too much.
She's not done with me yet.
So what are we looking at-- a farm in Iowa, maybe something by the beach in Maine? We were wondering, after St.
Lucia and Romania, if you think you can still operate your business.
It'll take some damage control, some fence-mending, but, yeah, absolutely.
Consider yourself reinstated.
Help us get what we need to run operations and shut the doors on Division.
What's this? It's a list of organizations and individuals with whom you can no longer do business, not as a sanctioned American agent.
It's, like, everyone I ever sold-- I like a challenge.
Good.
We'll be in touch.
What? I knew you were warming up to me.
I knew you'd pick a side.
Hey.
What's the real reason you didn't give me up to Percy? You were doing the right thing.
Let's just say that you remind me of someone.
Hey.
You're still here.
Yeah, just debriefed with Ryan.
Great.
Um, look, about Romania, I just wanted to say-- No need to explain yourself.
It's fine.
Well, I wasn't gonna explain myself.
I-I just wanted to say thank you.
Michael asked me to do a job, and I did it.
That's all.
Another rogue in from the cold, and we've taken the Sideswipe off the black market for good.
Any update on the mole? Yeah, I think I'm, uh, getting close.
And what about Amanda-- any theories as to her next move? Yes.
Before today, I thought that Amanda just wanted me dead because I was the obstacle to her plans.
But that's not it.
I am her plan.
She doesn't want to kill me.
She wants me to suffer, and that means destroying everything I care about.
I'm not her target.
All of you are.
