"It's not my blood." "Don't worry." "We took the hit for you." "Where in the world is Nikita Mears?" "Today marks the first hundred days since the assassination of President Kathleen Spencer, and still the search drags on for her assailant, who bears the notorious label of the most wanted woman in the world." "But like most things we desperately want," "Ms. Mears continues to elude our grasp." "With me today is Deputy Director Matthew Graham, head of the FBI's task force on Mears." "Matt." "Dale." "Where the heck is she?" "Come on, it's been a few months." "You can't blame us if we start to worry about our safety." "Your viewers have nothing to worry about." "Not my viewers, the American public, and they beg to differ." "Because if it's really that easy to kill the most protected person in the world, then none of us are safe." "Your viewers have nothing to worry about." "First of all, rest easy in the knowledge that wherever Nikita Mears is hiding, she is nowhere near the United States." "And today, the Bureau is reinforcing its commitment to capturing Nikita with an increase in the reward to $30 million for any information assisting in that capture." "30 million, okay." "So that's 5 million more than Osama bin Laden's bounty, and it only took ten years to find him." "So what, seven, eight years?" "Well, Osama bin Laden had help." " He was being sheltered." " And you're saying she's not?" "I can neither confirm nor deny any information that would jeopardize our investigation." "Okay then, let's speculate." "What would your guess be?" "Because it's really hard to imagine how anyone could evade capture and survive all on their own." "If she has help, maybe it's the same people who helped her escape the White House after shooting President Spencer inside the Oval Office." "Perhaps they're also members of the President's death squad." "There is no death squad." "So you're saying Senator Coto misspoke when he ordered an investigation of the Executive Death Squad that Spencer was running with the late Commander Danforth, of which Nikita was alleged to be a member." "Explains how she got into the White House at least." "That is a separate investigation." "Can we at least agree that the word "squad" suggests..." "If you want to talk about that investigation..." "Can we at least agree that the word "squad"" "suggests more than one person?" "Hands in the air, right now!" "Walk towards me." "It is her." "Okay, on the ground, face down, now!" "Because here's what I speculate." "You don't want her to be found, because that means exposing what every American has grown to fear more than any foreign enemy, and that, sir, is the Parallel State." "Hey, hey." "Can I take that as confirmation or denial?" "It's her." "Boston field office is closest." "They're scrambling a chopper." "Yeah?" "No, officer, I understand." "You did the right thing." "Just keep her pinned down until our tactical team arrives." "And under no circumstances should you try and approach her." "Sir, she's unarmed on the ground." " We got her." " Do not approach." "The feds want the collar." "Cuff her ass." "Put your hands behind your back." "I've just been informed that Deputy Director Graham has been called away on urgent business." "Urgent, convenient, whatever." "It won't stop me from asking the important questions" "I promised you I'd ask." "For example, how is Nikita Mears alive in the first place?" "According to the state of New Jersey, she was executed ten years ago for killing a Newark police officer." "Who the hell has the kind of juice to fake an execution?" "As incredible as it sounds, the death of the President is just the tip of the iceberg." "We demand to know the whole truth." "And I promise you, I won't rest until I..." "Has new material arrived ahead of schedule?" "No." "Nikita has arrived." "Our drones spotted her crossing the border into the United States." "We've sent an anonymous tip to the local authorities." "Hmm." "Interactive television." "You don't seem surprised." "I knew she couldn't stay away forever." "But why now?" "Why take the risk?" "What's she after?" "You." "And me." "We ruined her life." "Nikita's not the type to let something like that go." "But don't worry about her." "There are more disturbing things on television." "...we rescued last night from these containers, much like the one I was in when I was taken..." "Ms. Udinov has been considerably easier to track." "Yes, but who is tracking whom?" "She's shut down three of our supply centers for human subjects in the last two months." "Cosmetic damage." "We only need to tolerate her for a little while longer." "I do this to help others like me." "It's Nikita who's alive past schedule." "What happened to us was terrible, but it does not have to define us." "Victim, survivor meddling bitch." "That last one was bestowed on me from a slaver in Burundi last week." "But it doesn't matter what they call me." "What matters is my message to those who are engaged in the buying and selling of human beings." "No matter how powerful or unstoppable you think you are, we will find you," "we will expose you, and we will stop you." "That was a very powerful speech, Miss Udinov." "Thank you for coming and sharing with us." "I only hope it inspires others to join your fight." "I know how hard you've been working to stop trafficking in Mumbai." "I just wish there was more that I could do to help." "You could stop taking over their territory after you put them out of business." "That'd be helpful." "Okay, tracker's on her." "How's the signal?" "Signal's strong, but..." "Sonya, trust me." "She will lead us to the shop." "She's their favorite kind of trafficker, corrupt government official." "I just got a call from the guys." "Nikita has come out of hiding." "Seems she's back in the states." "What?" "Where's Michael?" "Where do you think?" "Should we head back?" "Finding the shop is the best way to find Amanda and clear Nikita's name." "But if she gets herself caught it could be too late." "No, she must have a plan." "And she'd want us to stick to ours." "You're gonna need a bigger coffee before we dive into your call sheet." "Everyone wants to find out what you know about Nikita's return." "Still no leads on her?" "Just the car she left behind, courtesy of Barney Fife and his merry band of idiots." "Then everyone can wait." "I wanna keep my day clear." "If anything breaks, I wanna be ready to go on the air." "Okay." "New LCD TV just got in." "Thanks." "Dale Gordon." "Big fan." "Put your hands down." "Have a seat." "How did you get in here?" "This is a secure building." "There's cameras everywhere." "Just like the White House, Dale." "Feel safer now?" "Do you?" "You were a ghost." "No one could find you." "Now you're inside of a building filled with journalists desperate for a lead on you in the largest city of the most powerful nation on the planet who calls for your blood." "Stop writing copy, Dale, okay?" "You're better at asking questions." "Why don't we just stick to that?" "You... you want me to... to interview you?" "While the FBI is conducting the largest manhunt..." "I'm not worried about the FBI." "There's only one man who can track me, and I doubt he's interested in trying." "You can't keep moving trays around." "This is the fourth time I've had to renumber everything." "Excuse me, are you the commander on duty?" "No, I'm just the one doing his job for him." "Well, I need a signature on this chain of custody form." "Who's transporting evidence now?" " I haven't even had the chance..." " It's the car." "Form needs to be signed before we can move it." "I'll go find Wilson." "Wait here." "She left a lot behind." "She had to make an escape plan on the fly." "No time to scrub the car." "What's this?" "Uniform policy for Kips Bay Creative Technology." "Looks like they do electronic sales and services." "Like repairs?" "Repairs, new installations, but not for the general public." "They're contractors." "They work with local businesses in Midtown Manhattan." "Nikita stole the car in Vermont." "Any chance the owner works in Manhattan?" "Lives and works in Shelburne, Vermont." "She's single and a pediatrician." "So no need for a uniform." "Service call." "Just like I taught her." "She's going undercover as the cable guy." "Whose cable guy?" "Can you break into their systems?" "I wanna take a look at today's orders." "That one." "Payment type is cash upon pickup." "Who's that for?" "Equinox News Network." "A new LCD TV for Dale Gordon." "Conspiracy guy" "E.N.N. is a huge corporation." "They don't pay cash." "They'd ask to be billed." "Nikita doesn't have time to fake that." "It's too much heat." "Whoa." "Guess who reported a break-in last night." " Kips Bay Creative Technology." " That's her." "All she needs to get through that door is an order form with Gordon's name on it and that uniform." "Dale Gordon's been asking a lot of questions about the President's death." "You think Nikita's looking for an ally?" "Well, she had five allies, and she ditched us." "What?" "Mikey's not the only one who gets to have resentment." "Nikita left to keep the spotlight and the danger away from us." " She was..." " Being Nikki, I know." "Act first, think later." "First degree martyr." "Birkhoff, I need you to get me into the E.N.N. building." "Think we should land close in case they need a pickup?" "Yep." "The President of the United States committed suicide?" "I know it sounds crazy." "No, no, no, no, no." "No, no, Big Foot, the Loch Ness monster, UFOs... that sounds crazy." "What you're talking about... ls the truth." "That's what you seek to find, right?" "You know, you ask good questions, Dale, but you don't ask the right questions." "Like what, what would make the President pick up a gun and shoot herself in the head?" "Sure has me curious." "So you don't know why?" "That's... that's great." "I know that the President was not the only one acting out of character that day." "The lead Secret Service man, he gave me the gun." "He's working with the people who are setting me up." "Single shot to the head." "Make it count." "John Stirling?" "He was a 20-year veteran." "He protected three presidents." " Someone like that wouldn't..." " Wouldn't what?" "Do what he did?" "Like Kathleen Spencer?" "Or Karl Jaeger?" "Karl who?" "German intelligence officer." "Shot his own men at the G20 summit in Toronto." "You covered it." "He's the only person I can think of who's also acting out of character." "But unlike Stirling and the President," "I was able to investigate Jaeger." "I found this." "Yeah, I can't read German." "The B.N.D. officer claims that the Toronto police corrupted the blood samples." "He chalks it up to sloppy forensics, but I think it's actually a clue." "What if there was something in his blood that made him act differently that day?" "What if there was something in the President's blood that did the same?" "Nobody would think to look..." "What kind of something?" "And how do we even find out?" "Your source at the FBI can get us a copy of her autopsy results." "What FBI source?" " You've always said..." " I never said." "I never said." "I implied and let the people assume." ""Sources familiar with the investigation"" "sounds a lot more credible than "anonymous person who texts me."" "Anonymous?" "I got sent an envelope with a phone inside, and then I started getting the text messages." "At first, I thought it might be you, but then, I don't know, it just got weird." ""I see you found her arrest record." ""Such an unfortunate mug shot." ""That Nikita wouldn't have made it within 100 yards of the White House..."" "It's a trap." "Evacuate this area." "All civilians are to coope..." "You were the bait she needed." "Who?" "Someone you never want to meet." "Welcome home, Nikita." "Priya's here." "She brought some hired guns to watch her back." "This has gotta be it." "I'm not seeing any trucks though." "You think the shipment's inside the warehouse?" "I've got two vehicles approaching." "That's our buyer." "Sending images now." "Who do you think he is?" "Another sales rep for the Shop, like Heidecker?" "Only one way to find out." "Have Birkhoff run him through facial recognition." "This guy shows up nowhere, we'll know he's Shop." "Just sent you a photo of the Mumbai buyer." "Can you run it through Shadownet's facial recog?" "Hey, babe." "Nice to hear your voice too." "I'm a little busy at the moment." "We think this man might work for the Shop and may be our best hope of clearing Nikita's name." "What's more important than that?" "Uh, keeping her from getting shot in the next ten minutes." "... will direct you to a safe area." "Move completely across the street." "Follow their direction." "It's for your own safety." "Lock it down." "Six-block perimeter." "I think we're good to go." "Remember, if someone talks to you, you answer them but you keep moving." "Sorry it took so long." "The elevators aren't working." "Uh, you're the one who delivered the TV." "Why are you still here?" "Don't worry about it, Paula." "Mr. Gordon, FBI is looking for you." "Oh, my God, you're Nikita." "It's Nikita!" "Let us walk outta here, and he'll be fine." "Got her!" "Sixth floor." "She's with Dale, not too far from the elevators." "How do you know?" "The entire newsroom just announced it online." "Blue wolf, this is Red wolf." "I'm on site." "It's a party down here." "Patch me through to lone wolf." "We're trying." "Does Dale have a phone on him?" "Nikita must have made him dump it." "Try an extension in the room." "Feds can listen in." "Room full of phones and no way to reach her." "That's real smart." "Yes." "Yes, I am." "Those Nikita posts... most of them are being posted from smart phones." "Um..." "It says it's for you." "Pick it up, Dale." "This is Dale Gordon." "Nikita can't talk right now." "Is that the FBI?" "Do you know someone named Michael?" "So who's Michael, another member of the President's death squad?" "Michael?" "I'm downstairs, here to help you exfil." "On site?" "Damn it." "Michael, I left because you couldn't be involved in this." "Yeah, you left." "So you don't get a vote anymore." "Nerd?" "And, you know, we're not cooker spaniels." "You can't tell us to sit and just expect us to obey your command." "Okay." "Okay, fine." "You're here, you wanna help?" "Can you hack into the building?" "We're already in." "Now if we can get you to the north side..." "No, this is good." "Thermal scanners won't be able to get a good read in here." "This is the perfect place to be surrounded." "What are you talking about?" "We make the FBI think that I'm in here with Dale, that he's my hostage." "While they're trying to breach, find me a way out of the building." "Michael, you clear an exfil point." "Birkhoff, you clear the cameras." "Oh, my God, she does expect us to obey her." "So I stay here?" "I like this plan." "I need you to do something else for me." "Take this, give it to the FBI, along with the cell phone in your office." "I'm talking about the very top, not some random guy in a Windbreaker, okay?" "This is all the evidence we have." "The FBI has its sights set on you." "How can you trust them?" "I trust them to be the FBI." "We give them evidence, they'll investigate." "Look, even if you don't believe me..." "I don't know what to believe, but I don't think you killed the President." "I'll be in touch." "Remember, I get the exclusive." "I can't have the press filming from the surrounding buildings." "Get them out of those windows." "Boss, we have no one to send." "Our cupboard's bare." "The loading dock... we already secured that tightly." "Send those guys." "Birkhoff, make the call." " Nikita?" " She's calling from the roof." " You wanna take this?" " No, you start." "You pass her up to me if she escalates." "Hi, Nikita." "My name is Kramer." "Can we talk?" "What would you like to talk about, Kramer?" "I 'd like to talk about Dale." "Is he okay?" "Tell him how you are, Dale." "Oh, my God, you gotta get me outta here." "Just give her what she wants." "I don't wanna die." "I wanna live." "Amateurs." "They always oversell." "You got what you wanted." "Here's what I want." "Nikita, do you realize your situation?" "The building is locked down." "Our tactical team is moving into position." "There is no way off that roof." "Yes, but I've got Dale Gordon." "If you come in, he dies." "So what do you want?" "I'm on a rooftop, idiot." "What do you think I want?" "She wants a helicopter." "It's gonna take some time." "Let me know when you have it." "She was last spotted on the sixth floor." "The building is 14 stories." "She went up eight floors to get to the roof?" "That doesn't make any kind of tactical sense." "Why go up?" "Why call?" "All it did was tell us where she was." "Or where she wanted us to think she was." "But to do that..." "Someone is helping her." "All right, straight ahead, there's a large exhaust vent." "Take off the access panel." "You should be able to crawl through." "So what's the plan once you escape the building?" "You coming back or are you gonna run away again?" "The heat hasn't died down yet." "I don't want you guys in that kinda danger, even though you seem determined to keep putting yourselves there." "Huh." "What did you expect us to do?" "I thought that if I wasn't around, you could move on with your lives." "Move on?" "Yeah, nobody's moving on." "You may have given up on us, but we didn't give up on you." "Mikey's gone for weeks at a time trying to pick up on your trail." "Ryan's created a whole new wall of crazy conspiracy theories." "Alex thinks she's Batman, which I guess makes my girlfriend Robin." "All this to help clear your name." "I didn't ask for that." "Yeah, well, we didn't ask for you to leave, but you did that anyway." "Look, Nikki, you're gonna wind up in an alley somewhere," "alone and dying, unless you stop running and let us help you." "You know what would help me right now?" "Turn off the spinning blades of decapitation, would you?" "Almost there." "I only have a short window of time before the system sends out an alert that it's malfunctioning." "Wouldn't want the FBI to..." "What?" "They dumped me." "Nikki, I'm locked out of the system." "Guess that means I'm locked in." "Can you get back in?" "No, they must have figured out we were in the system." "We're toast." "So who's running the show here?" "Deputy Director Matthew Graham." "Graham, okay." "Listen, I need..." "Birkhoff." "Hang on, Mikey." "She's trying to call me." "Do not answer her." "We already played it her way." "We don't have time." "Now get me everything you can find on Graham." "Guys, I'm trapped in a building full of FBI agents here." "Somebody please talk to me." "Hey, would you please talk to her before she loses patience and decides to try and shoot her way through the side of the building?" "What happens if I shoot the fan out?" "Uh, Birkhoff says do not shoot the fan." "Ryan." "All right, what's the plan to get me outta here then?" "Uh, in progress." "I'm kinda curious about the plan that got you in there." "Dale Gordon?" "Karl Jaeger." "The B.N.D. guy?" "You found a connection." "The police took evidence from the scene where Jaeger was shot, and the blood samples showed abnormal "B" and "T" cells." "But then when they did the autopsy, the blood work was fine." "Germans just assumed that the samples were contaminated." "But I don't know, Ryan, what if there was something else?" "Something in the blood?" "Like a drug." "The blood on the scene would have traces of it." "It could've skewed the results." "But by the time they did the autopsy, the drug would be out of his system, so the blood seemed clear." "Amanda does like drugs, especially ones that modify behavior." "Yeah, I ran that, but there's some snags, mostly with time line." "How'd you figure this Jaeger thing out?" "I see the shipment." " It's only four men." " Did you say four?" "Traffickers usually pay less than $200 a head for men, and Priya's supposed to earn... 10 million." "So unless these guys can spin straw into gold, something else is going on here." "I'm going in for a closer look." "I find the shipment to be acceptable." "Authorize the transfer of funds." "Let's go." "Get in the car." "I don't know when I'll be able to get you the others." "Don't bother." "We'll take your partial shipment, but we won't be doing business with you again." "This is not my fault." "It's this..." "this Udinov girl." "I couldn't risk taking..." "What does that say, hmm?" "Without risk, there is no reward." "The buyer's little friend is headed my way." "Looks like he's on a comm device." "If he has remote support, they may have picked up your heat signature." " So I've been made?" " Yes." "The buyer escaped." "Looks like he took one of the men with him." " Did you find anything?" " I'm not sure yet." "Miss Udinov just blew up our operation in Mumbai." "We've moved beyond cosmetics now." "And your tolerance level." "At an all-time low." "We lost three subjects during the transfer." "That means we still have one." "And one is all I need." "We locked them out of the system, but it cost us any chance of tracing the signal back." "We have no idea who she's working with." "Right now, I'm more concerned with what's happening on the roof." "Team's in position." "All right, let me make a call first in case this goes bad." "Sir." "Didn't I already look at this?" "That's my wife." "What is this, some kind of a joke?" "No, Matthew, it's a choice." "What do you want?" "Where's your car?" "I can't believe that worked." "Don't doubt my mad photoshopping skills again." " Nikita, you ready?" " For what?" "Ready on your order." "How do you wanna play it?" "Go dark, cut the power." "Tactical is storming the roof right now." "We need to get you outta here." "What's he doing here?" "He'll get you out of Manhattan." "Head north." "I'll meet you there." "We'll switch cars." "Where?" "At the staging area near the zoo." "Keep your head down." "I'll see you at the rendezvous point." "Thank you." "They all look the same." "Not like twins." "More like cousins." "Who were these men?" "And why were they worth so much money?" "Wait, I think I found something." "I saw the buyer using this weird piece of tech." "Looks like he left it behind." "What is it?" "Some sort of handheld scanner." "He was waving it on them." "They were chipped." "Like a tracker." "Like livestock." "Let's give Ryan a call." "I don't know what the hell this is, but he's gonna want to see it." "Have they found Nikita yet?" "Yes, I believe they know just where she is." "Yeah, we got somebody coming up through here right now." " You leaving already?" " Yeah." "Mayor wants to have a chat down at Center Street." "Yeah, the mayor wants to make sure this doesn't stick to him." "But, hey, dispatch said that that reporter's okay." "Might finally get some good press outta that guy." "Yeah, I'm not that lucky." "People coming through." "They are cleared." "Dale Gordon's alive." "Maybe that means the FBI will let me keep my pension after they force me out for this mess." "Was that a tactical decision?" "I wouldn't have hurt Dale." "An assassin with a heart of gold." "Too bad you didn't feel the same way about Spencer." "I didn't kill her." "I tried to warn her." "You kidnapped the President's aide to get yourself put on her schedule." "You used the tunnels to infiltrate yourself into the White House, somehow conning your way into the blue sector, all to try and warn her?" "I did warn the President." "And then she shot herself in the head?" "Autopsy report says the gun was fired at close range, possibly pressed up against her temple." "There were only two people in that room." "So if you didn't pull the trigger, that only leaves me with one other possible culprit." "Only if you have an open mind." "Let's say that I do." "You went there to warn her." "Still one problem with your story:" "Why did you bring the gun?" "Innocent people don't smuggle a gun into the Oval Office." "Out, let's go." "You and your friends haven't scared me off, you know." "I'll go home tonight and make sure that my wife is safe, but tomorrow, I'll start hunting you again." "Thought you were afraid of losing your job." "They could force me to retire, but that'll just give me more free time to dedicate to you." "I'll catch you." "And I will find out exactly what happened that day." "I want that too." "Talk to Dale Gordon." "Yeah, this kinda tech, it's gotta be the Shop." "They wanted a very specific type." "Four men is too small a sample to be useful as test subjects." "Wait." "That fits with what Nikita found." "Alex, I think you may have found the puzzle piece we were looking for." "That's great." "So what does it mean?" "It can't be." "Yeah, I think we're gonna have to wait on that." "He's doing the thing." "Okay, well, when he's done reconstructing his big board of crazy, give me a call." "Sonya, I'm gonna clean up the scene." "I'll bring back the scanner to the hotel with me." "See you soon." "I'm afraid I'm gonna have to take that from you." "Owen?" "How many times do I have to tell you?" "It's Sam." "Authorities aren't releasing any new details, but they are searching for a black SUV with federal plates." "Can we finally agree that a squad is more than one person?" "I'm ready to listen to you now." "Now?" "Oh." "Nikita says you have some truth to tell me." "What is this?" "Evidence." "Yeah, you're welcome." "I can't read German." "She's not here." "Can you track her?" "I'm not getting an answer on that cell phone she was using." "Signal's a few blocks from your position, but it's not moving." "Be advised, FBI vehicle has been recovered." "Suspect is likely on foot." "She is wounded and probably in need of medical attention." "Birkhoff, give me that address." "It's been confirmed that Dale is safe and uninjured." "He's speaking with authorities right now in the command tent behind me." "He should be released shortly." "And we're being told that he plans on making a statement about the events that transpired here..." "It's done." "Dale Gordon won't be an issue anymore." "Are you ready to implement the next phase?" "We're on schedule." "We now have confirmation that Dale Gordon was inside the mobile command center at the time of the explosion." "Authorities believe that Nikita Mears may have planted the bomb on Gordon while she was holding him hostage." "Details are still coming in, but it is believed that Gordon, along with many fine men and women in the law enforcement community, are dead." "At this time, the suspect is still at large." "Authorities are asking citizens who live in the five boroughs to stay inside your homes." "Do not congregate on the streets." "If you notice anything suspicious, please call 911." "Do not attempt to investigate or approach on your own." "As today's events have shown," "Nikita Mears is highly dangerous and willing to kill perhaps anyone who gets in her way." "No one is safe as long as she's out there."
