"NARRATOR:" "Previously on Nikita:" "NIKITA:" "People I used to work for, they're Division." "A black-ops program that has now gone rogue." "If I was on the inside, I could tell you what they were planning." "NIKITA:" "We discovered the location of a black box." "It contains every job Division's done." "NIKITA:" "Guarded by one of Division's deadliest." "I wasn't just any cleaner." "I cancelled other agents." "People they'd fallen in love with." "NIKITA:" "We need to find the black boxes so we can kill Percy." " First box I wanna test is in London." " If there's a guardian I'll know what to look for." " Call me." "[CHUCKLES]" "I should go." " This is too dangerous." " For who?" " I have a tracker implant, remember?" " Yes." "And I have a signal jammer." "Or we could just take it out completely." "Ow." "I'm sure that wouldn't arouse suspicion." " Let's hope." " Nikita, I'm serious." "Yes, I know." "Very serious." "Michael is always so serious, Michael." " When you gonna tell Alex about us?" " Not now." "She's under a lot of pressure right now." "I don't know if she can handle any big surprises." "OWEN:" "Nikita?" "Wait, wait, wait." " Drop your gun." " Drop yours." "Owen, what the hell are you doing here?" "Well, I came to talk to you." "What's he doing here?" "He's with me." "Both of you, put your weapons down." "Down, boys, now." "I'll ask you again." " What are you doing here?" "OWEN:" "What we talked about." " Find the black box and the guardian." " We talked about that three months ago." " We talked about the guardian in London." " But I was just there." "I narrowed the guardian's location to a specific borough." "The guardian is an agent whose sole job is to remain invisible." "In a haystack of what, 8 million people and you were able to find out where he was in three months?" "Michael, please." "When we talked, we also said that you would call if you found anything." " You didn't have to come here." " Call?" "Call?" "On an unsecure line?" "Come on, no." "Not when I'm so close." "Division's got ears everywhere." "Michael is not Division." "He's on our side now." " Oh, "our" side." "NIKITA:" "My side." " Yeah, I can see that." " Shut up." "Listen to me, both of you." "Michael, Owen's gotten us close." "You can bring this home." "Get us the name of the guardian." " I can't." " Yes." "You have top-level access higher than Alex has ever had." "You are the break that we've been waiting for." "This is how we bring Percy down." "Okay, while I'm bringing this home, what are you gonna do?" "We'll be on site, waiting for your call." "Once you get us the location of the guardian, we'll strike." "So you're gonna be in London with him?" " That's the only way this works." " She's bossy like that." "You'll learn." "I think I know her pretty well." "Can I speak to you for a second?" " I don't like him." " Okay." " But this isn't junior high school." " And I don't trust him." "Then trust me." "Nikita, you don't know what he's done." "Yes, I do." "He's trying to change." "He wants to." "Just like us." "Don't worry, I'll take care of her." "Alex Winslow." "Youth trend consultant." "[SIGHS]" "AMANDA:" "Alex?" "Where are you going?" "I was heading home." " Back to the city, I mean." " Good." "Then you're free." "Join me." " Hey, Birkhoff." " Hey, Michael." "I wanted to review some of our security protocols." "Do you have a moment?" "Not really, though that does sound like a good time." "MICHAEL:" "What's going on?" "BIRKHOFF:" "Problem on Emerald Eagle." "Our little corporate heist job's gone sideways." "What went wrong?" " That's what we'd like to find out." "BIRKHOFF:" "Should've been an easy in-out." "But a couple of overachieving security guards decided to play hero." " One agent was killed, two wounded." " Here they come now." "MAN:" "Let's go." "Never mind that." "Let's go." "Jaden was on this mission?" "A provisional." "She was supposed to graduate like Alex here." "Alex, debrief her and file an after-action report by the end of the day." "You want me to debrief Jaden?" "Effective interview techniques should be part of agents' skill set." "You do realize she hates me." "A certain level of antagonism can be useful in this situation." "Anything that puts the subject off balance works to the questioner's advantage." "You're in the perfect position to help me get to the truth." "Nice neighborhood." "Keep your head down." "Surveillance cameras everywhere in London." "You still trying to be the invisible man, huh?" "Always." "[DOOR CLOSES]" "OWEN:" "Make yourself at home." "Is that what this is?" " What?" " Nothing." "This is how I narrowed it down to Camden." "A guardian has certain requirements." "Easy access to public transportation proximity to secure vaults strong satellite signal coverage, and multiple exfil routes." "That alone eliminated big chunks of the city." "After that, it was just about pounding the pavement." "Scouting out where he'd be." "Like banks." "Why banks?" "Guardian protocol." "Rent a safety deposit box store the black box there." "And what are these?" "OWEN:" "Oh, these?" "They're my victims." "Each one is a reminder of a kill while I was at Division." "So I never forget why I'm doing this." "Doing what?" "What you inspired me to do." "You don't hide from your sins." "No." "You kind of just face them." "Listen, it's one thing to face your sins, and it's another to let it eat you alive." "All this should just be something that helps you focus on what's important." "That's what I'm doing." "I'm stopping Percy." "That's what's important." "That's why..." "That's why we gotta find this guy." "Okay, so your plan was to stake out all the banks in this area and what?" "Hoped you would just pick a guardian out of the crowd?" "Guardians are former cleaners." " Well, they all have this..." " You all kind of have that look." "It's all in the eyes." "OWEN:" "Guardians are Division's deadliest agents." "We hit harder, we move quicker we sleep less and we survive longer." "But eventually after time, those skills, they start to erode." "It's what happens when you take an elite killer and pull him out of the field just to babysit a black box." "You're bound to make mistakes, if only out of sheer boredom." "Emily was my mistake." "I fell in love with her and..." "She wasn't a mistake, Owen." "Failing to protect her was my mistake." "[GROANING]" "Owen?" "Hey." "Owen, what's wrong?" "I just get these headaches." "I forgot what time it is." "[GROANS]" "NIKITA:" "What is that?" "It's a regimen." "OWEN:" "This is how we cleaners move faster." " Hit harder." " Sleep less?" "Valproic acid steroids, dextroamphetamines." "It's a metabolic dominance program." "Heightens your reflexes, eliminates anxiety." " Gives you splitting headaches." " Only if you don't take it." "You can be sure that our friend has the same sort of edge." "It's why we gotta be careful." "We're alone in this city." "Nikita, it's just you, me and the guardian." "And he's very dangerous." "Consider myself warned." "[DOOR CLOSES]" " Great." " Trust me." " No one wants to be here less than me." " Wanna bet?" "Take me through Emerald Eagle." "Corporate heist." "We were supposed to break into this aviation company and steal plans for some fancy plane." " So, what went wrong?" " Security showed up ahead of schedule." "Next thing you know, they were shooting." " And you were on point?" " Yes." "So why didn't you turn the team around?" "I already told you." "The guards surprised us." "They were early." "Should I talk slower?" "[ALEX CLEARS THROAT]" "I'm just trying to find out when exactly things went wrong." "The time you walked into this room." "ALEX:" "Who fired first?" "JADEN:" "I don't know." "ALEX:" "Did you discharge your weapon?" "I didn't start the shooting if that's what you're trying to imply." "I'm not implying anything." "Let's just get through this, okay?" "Answer the questions." "Say whatever you want." "I'm not gonna challenge you." " You want me to make stuff up?" " That's not what I meant." "Trying to get me caught up in your lies." " What?" " Hmm." "The air vents." "I caught you sneaking around in them and you gamed me." " It wasn't hard." " Oh, yeah." " You're the puppet master." " Let's move on." "I mean, you got everyone to think that thumbprint pad was Thom's." "Can we finish, please?" " You got everyone's number, right?" " No." "Just yours." "[DOOR OPENS]" "Jaden, you're free to go." "And, Alex please stay." "MICHAEL:" "Info on the guardian is on a protected file on Percy's computer." "I can't get to that right now." "However, I checked the operational expenses for London." "There's an ongoing charge, not assigned to an active op or agent." "It's a shipping container." "Protocol for a cleaner in a foreign theater is to establish a storage space." "Shipping container is a default option." "Container A-541." "It's currently sitting at the Port of London." "He's not as useless as I thought." " I really don't like that guy." "NIKITA:" "He doesn't mean it." "Hey, what do you know about the regimen?" "Regimen?" "Where'd you hear that term?" "It's a bunch of meds that Owen's taking." "Yeah, I know what they are." " Is he on them now?" " Yeah." "He's running low." "Think you can get more from Division?" "MICHAEL:" "No." "It was discontinued years ago." "Percy must've kept a stash for the guardians." "Nikita, listen to me." "Walk." "Get away from Owen." "What are you talking about?" "If Owen is going through regimen withdrawal you have to leave him." "Better yet, shoot him." "What?" "When we discontinued the regimen, we discovered the cleaners who were taken off the drugs demonstrated wildly erratic behavior." " Erratic how?" " It was different with each patient." "Best we could tell is it made them psychotically obsessive turned whatever their personal drive was into something all-consuming." "I'll look after him, okay?" "If there's a problem, I will contact you." "Nikita..." "Michael, Owen is not your enemy anymore, okay?" " We'll call you from the port." " Wait." "[PHONE BEEPS]" "OWEN:" "So how long you and Michael been..." "NIKITA:" "Not long." "OWEN:" "I'm not sure how you manage to do it." " Win over your enemies." " Michael was never really the enemy." "So when he fired that rocket launcher at us in Chile..." " He was aiming at you." " Oh." "Jealous type, huh?" " He's overprotective." " He's kind of scrawny." "Built where it counts." "Can we move on?" "Yeah." "There it is." "A-541." "NIKITA:" "What is all this stuff?" "It's cleaner equipment." "Hydrofluoric acid, carbon-steel bone saw surgical rib cutters." "That's a blood siphon." "Bodies fold better when you drain the blood first." "Do you know what a cleaner does?" "It's not just about dissolving the bodies in acid." "We arrange it so people don't know the victim was murdered." "Nobody." "Making it look like a suicide or an accident." "Owen, please don't." "Like what I did with Daniel." "I made it look like a boating accident." "People I killed, their loved ones will never know the truth." "That is why we have to stop Division." "And to do that, we need to find the guardian and his black box." "You're right." "The black box has the answers." "About all those people and how they really died." "You release that information and the truth comes out." "And the families finally have some peace." "That may be true, but you'll be hurting a lot of other people as well." "In Chile, all that chaos, that happened because one secret was released." "Imagine if all were released at the same time." "That's why Percy keeps them." "It's his insurance policy." "That is why we don't release the contents of the black box." " We destroy them." " So Percy wins again?" "[YELLS]" "[OBJECTS CLATTERING]" "We have to get out of here." "[BOTH GRUNT]" "The guardian knows we're here." "Aah!" " You're injured?" " No, it's just..." " It's the regimen, isn't it?" " Yeah." "We have to get you help." "Come on." "Come on." "Owen Elliot is in London." "This came from a traffic camera." "I've been tracking his movements." " And I'd like to go there..." " Approved." "Nikita's there too." "Just got a call from an asset saying the two are on the ground." "Which asset?" "A guardian." "I'll take a strike team." "And I'll get him." "And her?" "Of course." "I told you, you and Jaden would help me get to the truth." "She's just stirring up trouble." "She'll say anything to give me grief." "But her charges were oddly specific." " She has no proof." " Doesn't mean it's not true." "You know what, Amanda?" "I am tired of your mind games." "This isn't about me." "This is about your frustration at not being able to solve me like a Rubik's cube." "Do you know what?" "You're right." "I have become too invested." "So let's take my prejudices out of the equation." "Hmm?" "Birkhoff bring the fMRI to my office, please." "I need proof to see if someone is lying." "That's the last of it." "We'll get you more." "And we'll find a way to wean you off them." "Owen, what did you do?" "I told you." "It's so I don't forget." "Look, I know what you're going through." "I feel it too." "Every day." "It's what makes us wanna do the right thing." "But you can't keep punishing yourself." "It has to end." "We're running out of time." "Guardian knows we're here." "Which means he called Percy which means that a Division strike team is on the way." "If you're in his shoes, what do you do?" "First thing I'd do is secure the black box." "The bank." "We need to get there first." "No, I did a walkthrough on all the banks." "They're all basically just the same." "In Montreal, how did you choose your bank?" " Uh..." "I don't remember." " Owen, I need you to focus." "Why that bank?" "Close your eyes." "You're walking into the bank in Montreal for the first time." "What do you see?" "I see three guards five cameras." "Time-lock vault." "Tell me about the safety deposit room." "There was boxes on both sides." "Went from floor to ceiling." "There was a back door." "Opened into an alley." "Better than the parking lot because it provided cover..." "The alley." "The Royal Birkham." "On Crowndale." "Stay here." "I'm gonna talk my way into the safety deposit room see if we could set up some kind of remote surveillance." "Hey." "Stay here." "Owen!" "[HORNS HONKING]" "[TIRES SQUEALING]" "Aah!" "[GRUNTING]" "[TIRES SQUEALING]" "Aah!" "[GROANING]" "[GUNSHOT]" "[PEOPLE SCREAMING]" "Stay down." "Owen, put the box on the ground." " Why?" " I'm gonna shoot it, get out of here." " Come on." " If you kill the box, the truth dies with it." "We gotta release the truth." "No." "We talked about this, remember?" " You said it's time this came to an end." " Owen, hand it over." "WOMAN:" "She's been hit." "Bloody pushed her." "Are you all right?" "[GASPS]" " Is she all right?" " Do you need help?" " Did you break into Percy's office?" " No." " Was the thumbprint pad yours?" " No." " Did you know about the air vents?" " No." "Lie lie and..." "And lie." "You see, unlike the polygraph, you can't fool the fMRI by regulating your peripheral nervous system." "Alex two weeks ago, I recommended to Percy that you be cancelled." "Truth." "He didn't think I had enough evidence to support my conclusion." "The evidence is getting clearer, don't you think?" "All right." "I lied." " But it was to protect somebody." " Who?" "Thom." "Thom was in love with me." "And he made plans for us, plans I couldn't be involved in." "You and Thom had an affair?" "No." "He wanted to, but I didn't love him." "And that hurt him." "I didn't wanna hurt him anymore." "It's a little wobbly but the emotions are strong." "She's telling the truth." "Did you break into Percy's office?" "Yes." "But I wasn't alone." " So Thom was involved?" " He knew about it." " Did you give the thumbprint to Thom?" " No." "I don't know how he got it." " Were you ever in the air vents?" "ALEX:" "Yes." "The night Nikita escaped Division." "I knew her mole used them to plant the explosives." "That's how I met Thom in the hallway outside." "That's why I had to kill him." "She aced it." "It's all true." "Well, I am very disappointed." "In Michael." "What?" "Why?" "Michael was Thom's supervisor." "Recommended him for agent status, oversaw his graduation." "If what you say about Thom is true, I'm sure Michael was aware of it." "I just need to find out why Michael didn't say something sooner." "[BELL TOLLING]" " Owen?" "MICHAEL:" "Nikita?" "NIKITA:" "Michael." "What are you doing here?" "I'm here to make sure you're okay." "[GROANS]" "He hurt you, didn't he?" "He's not himself." " That's what I've been trying to tell you." " How do we help him?" "Nikita, you're not hearing me." "There is no way to help him." "I don't believe that." "Longer he goes without drugs, the more delusional he becomes." "Look around you." "He wants to get better." "You can't just talk him out of this." "His nervous system is fried." "Then we get him on the regimen and we stabilize him." " Then we find a way to get him clean." " Impossible." " Impossible?" " Mm-hm." "Like single-handedly taking on Division?" "Like hoping one day you and I could be together?" "Michael, he's one of us." "If it were me out there in trouble, would you give up?" "If you really wanna help him, tell me this." "Where is he right now?" "MICHAEL:" "I just don't think he can do it." " Why not?" "Percy told me every box has a biometric sensor." "They're coded to the individual blood signatures of their guardians." "He wants to transmit?" "He'll need to get a sample of the guardian's blood." " The guardian's out for Owen's blood." " We can't let them come together." " Percy." "OWEN [OVER PHONE]:" "Guardian Canada One." "Not anymore, you're not." "Don't you wanna know if the package is secure?" " Perhaps you should return it." " I've got other plans." "London." "Northwest." "And what might those plans be?" "I'm gonna open the box." "No more secrets." "Why would you do that?" "OWEN:" "Because it'll bring light into the world." "Because it'll bring peace to the innocents." "And because it'll hurt you." "Got him." "St. Christopher's Church, Jamestown Road." "[CELL PHONE CLATTERING]" "Alert all London teams to proceed to that location and take out Owen." "Priority one." "[CELL PHONE BEEPS]" "We may be too late." "Division's found him." " What about the guardian?" " On his way." "Owen's luring him in." "He wants the guardian to come to him." "How far away is your team?" "Closer than we are." "When we get there, can you order your team to back off?" "Possibly." "I can't control guardian." "He's under Percy's orders." " I'll take care of him then." " Nikita, if it comes down to it I'll put down Owen." "It won't come to that." "[CELL PHONE BEEPING]" "Yeah." " We have a situation, Michael." "MICHAEL:" "Amanda." "I'm kind of busy right now." "I understand, but Alex has made an accusation against you." " Alex?" " Hmm." "She said that Thom had feelings for her." "Feelings that led him to behave erratically." "Unless, of course, Alex's assertions are mistaken." "Help her." "Please." "Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry." "I should've said something." "I thought I could help him." "So you knew he'd put her in compromising situations?" "Yes, I did." "But he was a promising agent." "I made the wrong call." "You should know about the dangers of an agent falling in love with a recruit, Michael." "Yeah, I'll keep that in mind." "[DOOR OPENS]" "You can go." "Michael backed you up." "But, Alex you still lied." " I know." "I was protecting Thom." "In the future, you'd do well to protect yourself." "Are you still recommending me for cancellation?" "No." "[COMPUTER CHIRPS]" "Lie." "[DOOR CLOSES]" "[GRUNTING]" "[OWEN SCREAMING]" " Give me the box." " Give me blood." " You're gonna die for no reason." " No reason you'd understand." "[BONES CRACK]" "[BELL TOLLS]" "[TAPS ON COMPUTER KEY]" "[DOOR OPENS]" "Owen, we can get you the regimen." "OWEN:" "I don't need it." "Not anymore." "You do this, people will get hurt." "There's always pain before you get better." " It's how we heal." " Get out of my line of fire." " Owen, please." " This is how we remember Emily." "MICHAEL:" "Nikita, move." " And Daniel." "And everybody else." "Nikita, move." "[COMPUTER BEEPING]" "OWEN:" "No." "No." "NIKITA:" "Michael, don't!" "MICHAEL:" "Hey." "[NIKITA GROANS]" "No!" "Thanks for not taking the shot." "I still don't like the guy." "PERCY [OVER PHONE]:" "And there's no sign of them?" "No." "The box was destroyed and the guardian and strike team are dead." "You know, that's the second one she's gotten to." "Perhaps you should rethink your black box system." "Mm." "Perhaps." "NIKITA:" "Hey." "You notice that I end up your nurse a lot?" "You're unconscious half the time we're together." " Ow." " Easy." "Easy." "Easy." "I've been crushing your pills so I can give them to you intravenously so the dosages might be a little off." "Uh..." " My pills?" " Yeah." "Michael recovered them from the guardian's safe house." "About a half-year supply." "Thanks." "NIKITA:" "We gotta get out of here." "Michael's covering for us, but this place may no longer be safe." "Sounds like I owe him." "You can thank him when we get home." "You're gonna have to thank him for me." "I'm not going with you." "What are you talking about?" " I think I need to find some answers." " This isn't something you have to go through on your own." " Yeah." "Yeah, it is." "But there's some things I have to do by myself." "Find a way to get off this regimen, for one." "And figure out if I'm ready to start making up for the things I've done." "Until then, I could be no help to you or anybody else." "You know where I'll be." "Uh..." "Nikita?" "I never apologized for Daniel." "I'm sorry." "Take care of yourself, okay?" "[DOOR OPENS]" "[DOOR CLOSES]" "NIKITA [OVER PHONE]:" "Hello." "ALEX:" "Hey, where are you?" " I'm in London." " But I'm coming home." "ALEX:" "We gotta talk." "Amanda recommended my cancellation." "Luckily, Percy wasn't convinced." "We need to move up the timetable on your extraction." "Good." "I nearly bought it today." "Amanda had me dead to rights." "Here's what's weird." "Michael saved my ass." "Do you think he's planning something?" "Alex, we need to talk about Michael." "[English" " US" " SDH]"
