"I just want to know where you stand." "Do you stand with the powerful, privileged?" "Those people who look down on us?" "Or do you stand with your brothers and your sisters on the ground?" "Third wave is not just an ideal." "It's the solution." "3 billion people living on $2.50 a day." "That is just fine for this guy," "Senator Wallace Herek." "He just wants to protect his power." "You wanna talk about the 1%?" "1% of what they spend on weapons in a year could send every single kid to school." "How do we stop this madness?" "We have to stand up." "And what do we do when we stand up?" "We cripple them, so they can't step on us anymore." "This is Mia." "Go secure." "Go ahead." "There's gonna be a new attack." "I don't have a target yet." "I need more time." "What do you have right now?" "Stand by." "FBI." "Down on the ground, now!" "Mia, what's going on?" "Mia?" "Mia?" "Get down on the ground." "Get down on the ground, now!" "This is a priority Op." "We have an agent down." "Her name is Mia." "She was infiltrating a domestic terror group." "They call themselves Third Wave." "Their goal is to defend the third world against the tyranny of the first world." "FBI raided the safe house in Pittsburgh last night." "Mia was captured." "She's being held at a supermax facility in Virginia." "She's been undercover for a little over a year." "Undercover?" "For who?" "It can't be for us because we're just here to contain rogue agents and shut this place down, right?" "This was a standing mission from before we got here." "A Percy mission?" "A good mission." "Division is different now." "Then why didn't she get the recall order?" "She did, over a month ago." "I let her stay under because she requested it." "She requested?" "I tracked Third Wave for most of my career at the CIA." "They're run by an unknown operator named Joshua." "Part of Mia's assignment was to identify him." "I approved the extension because she was on to something new." "Like a new attack." "FBI found evidence at the scene." "They haven't figured out what it means, but I think that I have." "Aren't you forgetting something?" "Mia's in prison." "Which is why I want to know Division's protocol for extracting a captured agent." "We never had one." "Percy's rule was, if you got caught, you did your time." "They knew not to talk, but if they opened their mouths," "Roan would show up and silence them." "Division's different now." "I'm going in to get her." "You mean federal prison?" "Yeah." "I've done it before." "Michael, do you think that you can" "Look." "Just because we're engaged doesn't mean she listens to me more." "So what's the intel on this new attack?" "One of the other terrorists they nabbed had a Vimeo account that only Birkhoff was able to find." "It's got home video of a minor league hockey game at an arena in Virginia." "I think they're casing that arena." "We'll check it out." "You can try and stop the girls." "Thanks." "Nikita" "It's not what we signed up for." "Mia is trapped in prison because of us." "Division doesn't do active missions." "Plenty of other agencies for that." " Not as good as us." " Oh, yeah, we're awesome." "You know how tempting this is for someone in power?" "Sound like you don't trust Ryan." "No." "No, it's not Ryan." "It's who he works for." "So you don't trust the government." "I trust what it stands for." "I don't always trust who's running it." "Why would domestic terrorists be interested in this place?" "College hoops, the occasional minor league game?" "I don't know." "Not exactly a high-value target." "If Third Wave had the plans, they're definitely up to something." "What are you doing here?" "Could ask you the same thing." "Private security." "We don't have to answer." "FBI." "You kind of do." "Name's Nick Anson." "I run a security outfit in McLean." "We work protection for Senator Wallace Herek." "The Senator a hockey fan?" "He's hosting an event." "Welcome home the troops." "Tomorrow this place will be filled with returning soldiers and their families." "You may want to up your security." "You know something we don't?" "One of our agents does." "We're bringing her in as we speak." "Let me put it to you this way." "You're out of your mind." "They have Mia in the enemy combatant wing." "That means no prison yard, no common time." "Only time she sees another human being is when a guard shoves her food through a door slat." "Yeah, Sonya already covered all this." " I have the prison schematics." " Thanks." "Well, Sonya probably didn't tell you this, but the place is privately run, which means they have proprietary software, which means I haven't had a chance to hack it." "Well, maybe Sonya's got time." "I'm confident I could get us eyes inside." "She's confident she can get you eyes inside." "Fine." "Don't expect me to start popping doors left and right." "You only need to pop one, Birkhoff." "I'm not gonna talk you out of this, am I?" "I should, uh, get working on that software." "You know where to find me." "And, congratulations on your engagement." "I am so thrilled for you and Michael." "Thank you.[Chuckling" "Nice." "Talk about her like she's not even in the room." " We have a shorthand." " Shorthand?" "Oh, I just thought it was you being an insensitive jerk." "What else do you want for your suicide mission?" "Fitting." "Alex needs a special fitting." "What?" "No, no, no, no." "I draw the line there." "I'm not Amanda." "And this is not America's Next Top Operative." "Relax, nerd." "You're perfect for this one." "Approaching the security gate." "How are the shoes?" "Comfy, actually." "I don't miss Christian Louboutin." "Maybe a little." "I've got visual on you now, Alex." " You're early." " Yeah, I know." "Some of us want to go out after work." "This is for the new girl." "Headed for extraction." "Extraction." "Interesting choice of words." "Nikki, I hope you've been practicing your yoga." "Kendo, nerd." "I'm gonna practice it on your head." "Oh!" "Ow." "We are not here to kill you, Mia." "We're not." "You know what Ryan's offering." "Brand new Division, right?" "Come on home, all is forgiven." "Here's a gold watch and a big fat check." "Not exactly." "Why request to stay undercover?" "I was just trying to buy some time." "You don't need to buy anything." "If you come in, you're free." "You're free." "So why all the cloak and drama?" "Because Division is still secret." "If any of us want to have a life after this, it's gonna have to stay that way." "Take off your clothes." "You get to be FBI." "I get a gun?" "No." "All right, Nikki?" "We've got a visual on the last corridor, and you're clear." "The outdoor cameras don't have adequate coverage." "Were you able to get" "I got the guards' radio frequency." "Just making sure." "You don't have to." "I got it." "Yet sometimes you overlook things." "You want to get into this right now?" "We've got a live one out here." "I'm sorry, Nikita." "I missed him." "I think we're cool." "Ah!" "You'll never stop Third Wave." " Nikita, do you copy?" " Mia has turned." "Alex is down." "I repeat, Alex is down!" "♪ Nikita 3x03 ♪ True Believer Original air date on November 2, 2012" "== sync, corrected by elderman ==" "Alex, stay with us." "You're going to be fine." "Hang in there, Alex." "Alex, hang in there!" "Come on!" "She went into shock, but she's stable now." "Thank you." "All right, let's get that drip going and move out, come on!" "I was told that we owned the cameras!" "Every angle!" "He slipped past." "I told you the cameras were inadequate." "Slipped pa-- he slipped past you." "Nikita was fully aware, and I was monitoring." "You missed him, and they could have been killed." "You had their communications." "I don't know what the hell kind of ship you were running before we got here" "You all did a great job." "Get ready for more." "Are you all right?" "Yeah." "What have we got?" "A target." "Senator Wallace Herek." "He's hosting a small rally to welcome home the troops from Afghanistan." "Lots of soldiers and their families." "Plenty of symbolism for Third Wave." "Nikita, I'm sorry." "I shouldn't have left Mia undercover." "If I thought she was unstable, I would have pulled her out." "Couldn't have known she would turn." "I put you and Alex in danger, and I put a very well-trained terrorist out into the world." "She won't be for long." "What else we got?" "Her Division phone." "It's locked up in FBI evidence." "No one at Quantico's been able to crack it." "When it arrives, get it to Birkhoff." "I'm gonna clean up." "Nikita." "Why do you think she turned?" "She shot Alex." "I don't care." "Hey!" "Mia?" "You made it?" "Oh." "Is everything in place?" "Yeah, he's-- he's here." "He's upstairs." "I thought we'd lost you." "I had to come back." "Our strength is in each other." "Huh." "You got away from the FBI." "How did you manage that?" "There's something I have to tell you." "When you met me, I was undercover-- a covert Ops program called Division." "They told me I was protecting the country, but it was a lie." "I thought if I told you before, you'd" "Do this?" "Please, Joshua." "I left them." "I left." "You of all people know what it's like." "I killed for them." "Journalists, witnesses, whistleblowers, anybody who threatened their power." "I didn't think there was any way to ever make it right, but when you told me your story," "I knew there was a way out for me." "For us." "Are they still after you?" "They won't stop us." "And I'll do whatever it takes to stop them." "Is this it?" "All plastic, nondetectable." "I've done the dirty work for powerful men like Senator Herek." "He has to go." "That vest is how I make it right." "I want to be the one." "I'll decide that... when the time comes." "This is really sick." "This Joshua guy's like a cross between Che Guevera and Charlie Manson." "We found a bunch of emails on Mia's phone." "He worked her for months." "The guy's a real snake charmer." "Hey, why don't you let them set you up with, like, a morphine drip or something?" "That would be great." "Send me out on a bender, face-first." "Right." "Sorry." "See if they mention any rendezvous points, maybe other safe houses?" "Yeah." "Got most of Ops working on this." "Wouldn't hold your breath, though." "Yeah, uh, about that," "Sonya came by to see how I was doing." "Whatever she said to you, it is a lie." "Okay, everybody thinks they know what happened between us, but they don't." "I'll tell you what I do know." "I got shot." "Just fix it." "Shadowbot." "Good boy." "What did he find?" "I've been trying to find any activity related to Joshua's email." "Well, well, well." "Numbered accounts in the Caymans." "What would Che junior want with an offshore tax haven?" "Numbered account, nameless account." "Cayman banks are perfect for that." "Wait a second." "The accounts are all linked to shell companies." "Look at all the property they own." "Wait, wait." "Now this is the address of the safe house that the FBI raided." "And this place, can you map that?" "That's 6 miles from the arena." "Damn it, we're pinned down here." "All right, guys, most of them are downstairs, but infrared's reading three heat blooms up top." "Where's Mia?" "Where is she?" "Let him go, or we all die." "It's armed." "You pull your trigger," "I pull mine." "I hope you're a good shot." "You hit the gel in that vest, and boom." "Go, Joshua." "Go!" "How fast do you think Joshua can run?" "You want to save him?" "He won't even make it to the stairs." "Unh!" "Oh!" "You lied to me." "You're gonna regret that." "Your life is a lie." "Division is a lie." "I killed for Division." "Innocent blood on my hands." "You're preaching to the choir, honey." "I didn't think that there was any way to make it right until one person stood up." "Who?" "Joshua?" "You." "You were supposed to tear that place down." "You kept it running!" "Division is different now." "Unh!" "Stop!" "Stop." "Why?" "We're already dead, right?" "No." "I'm willing to die for what I believe in." "Are you willing to die for Division?" "Are you?" "Thank you." "My God." "Wow, I can't believe she was really gonna do it." "Yeah." "Something happened, Alex." "I went there to kill this crazy bitch, and I found myself looking in a mirror." "She asked me if I was willing to die for Division." "I didn't have an answer." "Nikita, that's because you've spent so much time trying to take this place down-- exactly." "And in that time, no one thought I could be stopped because they thought I was stronger or faster." "It had nothing to do with that." "Then what was it?" "I was committed." "I was more committed than my enemies." "I believed." "If I lose that" "So he came at me kind of like this." "Whoa, yeah, that's-- that's silat." "A little slow." "That's what happens when you get engaged." "It softens you up." "Mm." "Right." "So a lot of MMA fighters use silat, don't they?" "So do Seals." "Yeah, mostly Seals." "You think this Joshua guy used to be one?" "Not sure." "His group of rebels?" "They had a lot of moves." "They came at me two-by-two in controlled bursts." "Yeah, rebels usually just spray." "Well, maybe Mr. Joshua taught them a few things." "Well, if he's a Seal, he's gonna be tough to track." "I could check with the cappy, though, see if he knows something." "In the meantime..." "Ah." "Leaving the knife-fighting up to the pros." "And I'm not even wearing my ring yet." "You gotta see this." "Joshua has got a money trail that winds all over the planet." "Numbered accounts in the Caymans, Liechtenstein." "Michael and Sean are working an angle that he's ex-military." "I've seen it before." "A lot of these guys, they go native, find a cause, take up arms." "How is he getting his money?" "I don't know, but it's not very third world of him." "Mia's traded one lie for another." "She has no idea." "I talked to Herek's people." "You and Michael will attend the rally as FBI." "Full Alpha support." "If Mia shows up, we take her out." "No." "Mission hasn't changed." "Same as the prison." "We find her, we bring her in alive." "Okay, the Senator and soldiers are gathering here." "Main floor." "It's big, it's wide, super-high ceilings." "But I have come up with a way for you to keep eyes on everything at all times." "Incredibly awesome, and I designed it myself." "We're thrilled for you, Birkhoff." "Where is it?" "It's right there." "Cute toy." "Whisper-quiet, all-seeing." "Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Birkhoff unmanned tactical robot." "The B.U.T.R.?" "The "butter,"" "'cause it's slick like that." "Mm, gross." "Where's my toy?" "All right, keep your pants on." "It's right here." "Ah." "All right." "Looks like you're ordinary standard baton, right?" "Not quite." "Electro-muscular disruption, kids." "A targeted shock at just the right voltage... shouldn't set off the vest." "You're positive?" "Yeah." "Like, 97%." "Out of the question." "We are not cancelling." "I do not bow down to terrorists." "We thought you might say that." "That's why the Bureau is here." "Look, this Joshua character is all talk." "Besides, what are we dealing with?" "A bunch of hipsters who read too many books in college, right?" "They're very determined." "Well, that's why I've got Nick and his team here." "Give these folks whatever they need." "Of course." "Security post is up top." "I'll work with your team up there, and Nikita and the others will work the floor." "Do you really think they'll make a try?" "Let's hope we're wrong." "What kind of support do we have down there?" "Uh, besides my people, we've got a few cameras in some corridors, but we're gonna need more eyes." "We've got it covered." "Damn straight you do, biz-natch." "We now have liftoff on the maiden voyage of the U.S.S. Butter." "Hey." "How you feeling?" "Hey, um, just waiting for them to change my bandage." "You should be at the arena." "Yeah, well, you were with me when I was wounded," "I figured I'd do the same." "Any luck tracking Joshua?" "My Seal contacts came up empty." "What's that?" "She really got to Nikita." "Never seen her question herself like that." "She's not the only one." "What are we doing here, Alex?" "Chasing monsters?" "Monsters that are only gonna be replaced as soon as we take them out." "I don't believe that." "Well, what do you believe?" "'Cause if you're here for Nikita," "I'm not sure that's such a good idea, especially if she's having doubts." "You had a life before all this." "You could have it again." "See this woman?" "This woman threw her out a window, and she still wants to save her." "You want to know what I believe in?" "Nikita." "What about you?" "You were never really Division in the first place." "Why are you still here?" "Well, I guess some things are worth fighting for." "This is pointless." "Stealth approach." "Think, think." "Oh!" "I told you I was willing to die." "I'm not the only one." "Hello everyone, and welcome all to America Comes Home." "Oh." "Who's wearing the vest?" "Who?" "You talk about the things Division made you do." "How's killing innocents gonna fix that?" "Herek and his shock troops are the target." "Joshua said they're the ones who have to pay." "You can't even see who he really is." "He fights for those who can't fight for themselves." "No, Mia, no!" "He fights for himself." "He's got offshore accounts." "He's lining his pockets." "It's Percy all over again." " You're lying." " I can prove it." "Joshua said you would try and tear him down, but he knows." "He's just like us." "When he was Delta, he spread murder and fear, and he figured out a way to stop it." "Joshua knows." "Ugh!" "Birkhoff, get me Alex." "We were wrong." "He's special Ops." "He's not a Seal." "Deltas fall under J.S.O.C. operational control, so as long as Birkhoff got us into the right personnel servers, facial recog should" "Joshua." "Better known as Major Travis Ryerson, recruited out of the 75th Ranger regiment." "Retired?" "'09." "Did a couple of joint Ops with the Seals." "That's where he learned his little ka-bar move." "Wait a second." "What is it?" "Damn." "Joshua's got a partner." "I'm getting on a chopper." "All right, I'll get this to Michael right now." "Tell the Senator we're five away, and get teams one and two in position." "Michael, something's coming through on your tablet." "Hey, man." "What's up?" "Well, I just got some intel." "It appears that Joshua is actually Travis Ryerson." "He's ex-Delta, two tours in Iraq, two more in Afghanistan." "But you already knew that." "'Cause you were in the same unit." "Ryerson?" "I haven't seen that guy since he told me he wasn't gonna re-up." "But Third Wave?" "You think he went native or something?" "You tell me." "I gotta get this out to my guys." "What do you see?" " No tangos in sight." " Stay on it." "How's the new Division working out for you?" "Look, you're right." "I didn't want to keep Division going." "But it was the only way to" "To what?" "Keep the bastards happy?" "To save people like us." "Mia, I've read your file." "I know the things you've done." "Killing this many people?" "That's a rabbit hole you don't wanna go down." "Nikita." "Where are you?" " After Anson." " Anson?" "He's partnered up with Joshua." "They were in the same unit during the war." "My guess-- they're drumming up clients." "Create an enemy force, charge by the hour to defend against 'em." "Cowboys and Indians." "Joshua puts on the war paint, attacks the town." "Anson wears the badge." "That explains Joshua's offshore accounts." "Michael, can you get me hard proof?" "Not yet." "But I will." "Good, 'cause I'm gonna need it." "Birkhoff, I think I lost him." "I think he's in the east corridor, end of the rafters." "There's an elevator through there." "He just went down six floors." "You'll never catch him." "He's probably headed to Joshua." "Is there any way we can listen in?" "Afraid not." "It's all service tunnels down there." "Nothing to hack into." "Birkhoff" "Best I can do is guide you." " Seymour." " Hang on." "I'm sorry." "What is it?" "Route Butter's signal through the arena Wi-Fi so it still transmits." "Transmits where?" "You don't have it in you anymore." "Oh!" "We're in the middle of the operation." "Opsec is blown." " Just slow down, okay?" " They know!" "About us, probably about the accounts." "I told you we couldn't pull this off with these bastards on-site." "Everything was just fine until you bitched out." "Trav, you're not hearing me." "We were supposed to save the day, Nick, remember?" "The bomb gets averted, the Senator gets saved, and then all of those new clients, they just start lining up." "But you couldn't swing that!" "They got us." "They are spooks, okay?" "We have end-run jokers like..." "Nikki, we got 'em." "On your phone." "Ugh." "The target stays the same." "The vector changes." "We kidnap the Senator." "Kidnap?" "And ransom." "Yeah, but there goes the business." "How do you figure?" "'Cause no one's gonna hire a firm that lost a Senator on its watch." "Uh..." "Unless..." "Unless after the ransom's paid, they find Third Wave's H.Q. and kill them all." "All right, let's do this." "Boom time is in six minutes." "Hey, wait." "You're still gonna blow the vest?" "Oh, yeah, it'd be a nice distraction." "My God." "What have I done?" "I'd like to introduce our distinguished guest." "He's been a great champion to our country, and of all you fine men and women gathered here today." "Salvador's the bomber." "He's down there." "If he sees me, he'll blow the vest." "He trusts you." "I'll stop him." "There's just two other spotters we've gotta take out first." "Whoa, whoa." "We're not killing anyone." "Looks like a great turnout." "You ready to rock?" "Let's do it." "Senator Wally Herek!" "Not another step!" "You really think you can take us both?" "Oh, I know I can." "But I don't have to." "On your knees." "Knife!" "Unh, aah!" "Oh, not this time." "You two have I.D.s?" "Unh!" "Salvador, you can't do this." "Don't try and stop me." "Oh, my God, he's got a bomb!" "No!" "Don't!" "You're gonna be okay." "Oh, I need a medic." "We need a medic!" "We need a medic!" "It's okay." "Thank you." "Thank you." "It's not right." "Soldiers get a flag draped across their coffin." "CIA's got a wall of stars." "Division just deletes you." "It's hard to make a memorial to someone who doesn't exist." "Look, I know you're under a lot of pressure to deliver." "But you've gotta promise me one thing, Fletch." "No more active missions." "Okay?" "No more." "Promise." "And maybe we could, uh, get rid of all this paper on your desk." "You got a problem with the current century?" "Well, you... will you just cut me some slack?" "Please?" "Okay, I'm still trying to... figure this out." "Me too." "Yeah?" "Yeah." "I know that we're here to take down the worst of the worst," "I just thought that maybe we could save more of them." "You know, Mia died a hero because of you." "You did save her." "Can I help you now?" "That's a lot of paper." "Got a shredder?" "Don't play with that." "Okay, hey." "That" "There's a system here, all right?" "You're the only person in the building..." " All this" " Who hasn't gone paperless." "Well, you know, there's a-- there's a reason for all this."
