"Surprise." "Oh, my God!" "Derek?" "Yes, from online." "What are you doing here?" "Yeah, I know." "I just couldn't help myself." "Can you believe our profiles say that we're a 97% match?" "How did you find me?" "Well, I saw a photo of you on Facebook from a company picnic, and I gotta tell you, you look much better in person." "Listen, I'm going to go find some water to put these flowers in." "I'll talk to you later." "Online." "Okay?" "You know, I'm not normally the jealous type, but did you want to tell me who "Darlene643" from Cincinnati is?" "I can explain." "You remember Heidecker, the guy with the plane full of kids?" "Uh, yeah." "How could we forget?" "Him and his psycho science friends?" "The Shop." "That's what they call themselves?" "No, that's what I call them." "You know, like the place in the Stephen King books?" "They make cool stuff that kills people." "Mikey, please tell me you haven't been messing around with these guys." "I've been following every lead" "I could find." "One finally paid off." "I really hope you're not talking about Darlene." "I found parking stubs in Heidecker's plane, and I followed them to a building in Cincinnati." "Darlene got me into the surveillance room." "Her I.D. card got me into the surveillance room." "Now, this is him in Kosovo." "And this is him in Cincinnati." "He visited the same floor twice a month for six months" "Bellfar Systems." "What does Bellfar do?" "I don't know." "I can't find anything on them." "You could be barking up the wrong tree." "That's what I thought, until I found military-grade encryption on their servers." "Well, what do you want to do?" "Walk up to their door, knock on it, and ask them for a new hand?" "More like knock it down and take what I want." "Birkhoff, if you hack their security," "I could be in and out tonight." "You mean we can." "Okay." "I'll start mission prep." "I'm hacking it now." "I'm right outside." "It's the second on your left." "I got it." "Hello?" "Is someone there?" "Hello?" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Hey!" " Is Sonya okay?" " She's fine." "The explosive was just a diversion so she couldn't get a look at him." "What was he trying to do?" "Take out a server array." "Anything?" "The charge was small enough that it could have sat undetected for weeks." "Do we know what the target was at least?" "Not yet." "I need to check through the logs to see if any of them had their diagnostic L.E.D. activated." "What's that?" "It's a little green blinky light so anyone who's not Birkhoff can find what they're looking for." "Any guesses?" "This is Division's brain." "I mean, you could cripple key systems, erase files." "Then that's our priority, to find out what the target was and why." "So this is where you met Darlene." "This very spot." "I told her she could be the one." "On the first date?" "You moved too fast." "Ah, it's probably for the best." "Her favorite movie is Mac and Me." "Creepy puppet Mac and Me?" " Yeah." " Makes you shudder at the thought of date night." "Also, bow down before Shadow Walker, for not even the Shop... is a match for his might." "Okay, so what's your perfect date night?" "Are you kidding?" "We're on it." "Sneak and creep into a high-security building run by a shadowy organization." "Wow, you really know how to spoil a girl." "Mmhmm." "Ugh, if I'd known "shmoopies" was gonna be part of this Op, I definitely would have said no." "Thankfully, you guys are almost there." "Maybe I spoke too soon." " What's going on?" " Hang on." "What happened to the might of Shadow Walker?" "Birkhoff?" "Guys?" "I think I lost you." "Birkhoff!" "♪" "You think they knew we were coming?" "Or no one was here to begin with." "Are you seeing that?" "Yeah." "Someone left the light on." "What the hell?" "You are not speaking to a man returned from the dead." "We do not possess that technology..." "Yet." "So who are you?" "A familiar face." "This is a digital mask, as with the surveillance images that Michael found." "You lured us here." "To extend an olive branch." "Not one for personal admirers." "Who are you?" "Who we are isn't nearly as important as what we can do." "Please, open the case." "If we'd wanted to kill you..." "We would have." "You are looking at a bio-prosthesis." "Tissue grown from Michael's own DNA drastically reduces the risk of limb rejection." "Nice." "So what do you want?" "Consider this a gift." "A way of mending the relationship between our two organizations." "I didn't know we had a relationship." "We do now." "♪ Nikita 3x16 ♪ Tipping Point Original air date on April 5, 2013" "== sync, corrected by elderman ==" "Doc said it checks out." "So the hand is real." "Everything Heidecker said was true." "Any idea how they got your DNA?" "I've got some theories, but they all end with me never leaving this bunker." "Well, Heidecker-- the--the dead Heidecker-- told me that the Shop has blood work on every Division agent." "It's catchy, right?" ""The Shop."" "Yeah, they've got our attention." "The question is, is now what do we do with it?" "I can't walk into a local E.R. and have 'em pop it back on." "Yeah, that's assuming it's not gonna go all idle hands on you if they did." "So the Shop's the only one that can perform the surgery?" "Why am I not surprised?" "Birkhoff, you think you could get them online?" "What, are you scared of it?" "No." "Would I rest easier if we dissolved it in acid?" "Sure." "But I'm not scared of" "Son of a" "Relax, Mr. Birkhoff." "Our interest is in Division's skills, not its systems." " Here we go." " We are thinkers, not doers." "When we needed something done, we asked Percy to have Division take care of it." "Oh, I'm sorry." "I killed Percy." "You're gonna have to come up with another strategy." "Our strategy is mathematics." "You do something for us." "We do something for you." "We need you to retrieve an item." "Deliver it to us and we will perform Michael's surgery." "Take some time." "Review the files." "I'll await your call." "You two should talk." "For whatever it's worth, my vote goes for operation:" "Dissolve the laptop in acid." "I know what you're thinking." "This is a bad idea." "But Nikita, when I found out about this," "I didn't believe it was possible, but now that it's right in front of us" "I just thought you were getting used to the replacement." "That's all." "I'm trying to make do, but..." "When I realized that there was something out there that was real, then every glitch, every spike of pain made it that much worse." "You're still in pain?" "Why didn't you tell me?" "You had enough to deal with." "What else are you keeping from me?" "I don't know." "You mean besides Darlene?" "No." "You don't get to dodge this one." "I hate not being in the field with you." "Being on that mission with you last night, that was like old times." "I'd like more of those." "What do we got?" "From what we can tell, it was a two-man Op." "Sonya says the door was hacked off-site." "Someone else planted the charge." "So she figured out what circuit board he was after." "The tracker array." "The trackers?" "All of them?" "What is it?" "Sonya said it could've sat there for weeks." "He was only planting the charge." "It wasn't supposed to go off yet." "What were they waiting for?" "More people to sign up." "There is something much bigger going on here." "Organized dissent." "A mutiny." "I was afraid something like this would happen when you told everybody about Danforth." "I did this?" "Alex, you told 300 trained killers the government has a gun to their head." "Not all of them want to stick around to see what happens next." "And what they don't know is if enough people join the mutiny, it won't even matter." "It'll hit the tipping point." "Tipping point?" "One, two people make a run, we call them rogues, add 'em to the list." "Half, even a third of our people make a break for it, that is chaos." "There's only one way to cover that up." "Send in the SEALs." "Ryan, when I told them about Danforth," "I did not intend f" "If we don't nip this in the bud, it could take Division down, and there won't be anything we can do about it." " Sonya almost caught me." " But she didn't." "And they don't know the server room was unlocked from my terminal." "Rachel, we need to lay low." "Division will never get shut down." "We are stuck here until a mission kills us or the government does." "It's Percy all over again." "Put some feelers out." "Be smart about who you approach." "I'm on it." "The plan won't work anymore." "It can't." "Just chill." "There are other ways to take out the trackers." "That's only" "Not good enough." "Double up on the countermeasures here and here." "Copy that." "Ryan has Alex and Sean on this." "Which is why you need to cover your tracks." "We are going to get there, Chris." "We are gonna be free." "I wish I remembered what that felt like." "It's like riding a bike." "You never forget." "The Shop wants us to break into a lab in China and steal a biotech device." "It's a delivery system for prions-- protein-based infections that'll eventually allow us to cure everything from colds to cancer." "Doesn't sound so bad." "Well, it's hard to say, but this thing, it actually infects you with a cure." "Or ebola." "Or the "T"-virus." "Who knows?" "In six months, we could be fighting off zombie hordes." "All right, what else have we found on this "Shop"?" "They're probably a think tank that develops tech for the U.S. military." "Putting this tech into U.S. hands wouldn't be the worst thing." "Well, one thing you have to realize, Fletch, is if we do this, it's a four-man Op." "We will need personnel." "Guys, nobody's going to want to hear about a side mission, not now." "It would have to be volunteer-only." "I've got two guys I can get onboard already." "Owen might be down as well." "Owen's out." "He's keeping tabs on Danforth, just as a precaution." "Are you actually considering this?" "Nothing says we have to do what the Shop wants." "We get it." "We control it." "All right." "Small footprint." "Volunteers only." "Other than that, I see no reason not to move ahead." "I could give you a list." "Welcome." "It's a pleasure to have you here." " Thank you." " I've reviewed the plans for your company's new facility here in China." "I'm sure you'll be impressed with the level of security our firm can provide." "I hope so." "We're looking for the best." "All our agents are former Special Forces, and our protocols are custom-tailored to withstand all methods of infiltration." " How so?" " To begin with, we don't rely solely on technology." "Cameras can be hacked, so constant watch is kept on our high-value assets from this soundproof room." "All right, we're tapped in." "Setting the cameras to loop." "It's up to Nikki now." "This better work, Birkhoff." "Relax." "It'll work." "If it doesn't, she can handle herself." "Well, I sincerely hope your methods work." "It'll work." "The window is just another camera waiting to be looped." "Is Jason ready?" "We're in position." "Down!" "Now!" "How'd your Mandarin hold up?" "I told you." "I only needed to learn one phrase." "None of our facilities have ever had a security breach." "That's impressive." "You know, it only takes one." "I guess lastly, could you show me how you handle employee security?" "All of our employees wear R.F.I.D.-enabled badges." "You can see them" " I did see them when..." "I walked in." "Time to go." "We're on the move." "Stop!" "Stop!" "Damn it, Jason!" "Nikita, we gotta go!" "Hold up." "Hey." "Hey." "I thought you were in the armory." "Yeah, I was on my way, then Michael found me." "He asked me to go on the China Op." "I told him I was busy stopping a potential mutiny." "Mutiny?" "Ryan's coming on a little strong, don't you think?" "He's not the only one." "What is that supposed to mean?" "The real reason I didn't go on that Op with Michael is I'm worried about you." "You have been different ever since South Ossetia." "The moment that I start showing a little bit of backbone, all of a sudden," "Amanda did something to me." "Look, when we were in that bombed-out hospital looking for Larissa, I saw one of those chairs." "The same one that Amanda used on Owen." "I was never in that chair." "I was in another room the whole time." " So nothing happened?" " The only thing that happened is that I didn't save Larissa." "♪" "Hey." "Act like you care about what's on this tablet." "I just spoke with Jeanette and Sammy." "They each got, like, four or five people to join up." "I hate to say it, but Jason's death has been the best recruitment poster yet." "People know now what will happen to them if Division drags on." "Michael and Nikita knew damn well what they were doing." "I don't care if he volunteered." "First chance we get, we get out of here." "Not the first chance." "The best chance." "Really great work on these satellite updates, Chris." "Keep doing what you're doing." "Got it." "Nikita." "Sorry." " My bad." " How's Michael?" "He must be devastated." "Jason really looked up to him." "We're all devastated." "Jason took a bullet for us." "It's no small thing." "I was in Ops the day you killed Percy." "You came in and spoke to us." "And you made that promise." "You're the reason we're all gonna get out of here someday." "Well, it's real." "It's exactly what the Shop told us it would be." "That doesn't mean that it can't be twisted into something horrible and nightmare-inducing." "What about the Chinese?" "Did you scrub our footprints?" "I got three teams on it." "Well done." "I understand you were successful." " I hate when he does that." " You have the prion?" "We do." "When do I get my hand?" "Tonight." "14th floor of the Bremmer building," "Buffalo, New York." "Deliver the package." "We will attach your hand on-site." "Attach it on-site?" "That means there's gonna be a team of Shop surgeons waiting to do the deed right there." "And we're gonna walk into that?" "A manned Shop facility?" "Walk in and stick around." "I don't care how cutting-edge they are, it's gonna take hours, and I really don't want to think about what these guys can do with time on their hands." "Hey, Nerd, can you rig an explosive to this canister?" "If Michael's gonna be under the knife, they're gonna be under the gun." "This row's clean." "It's all here." "Same here." "The explosives are all accounted for." "Hold up." "This one looks like it's been re-wrapped." "That's modeling clay." "These guys took almost half a brick." "That means they have more than enough explosive left." "Well, we have to make sure they never use it." "I got your update." "Any luck on finding who it is?" "Not yet." "Tell you what, I don't like being one step behind." "There's got to be a way to bait them, to lure them out." "What are you gonna do?" "I'm not sure yet." "I'll think of something." "So you're leaving again?" "One last job." "Just me and Michael this time." "Nikita, finding these rebels isn't really gonna matter if you and Michael keep doing side missions." "It's just going to make more people want to rebel." "I know." "Just find this group for me." "We'll make an example out of them." "An example?" "What, torture and solitary?" "Neither." "We're going to march them out in front of everyone..." "And we're going to forgive them." "This is not the old Division anymore." "♪" "What if they have armed security?" "They're thinkers, not doers, remember?" "Just make sure they're comfortable operating on me with a gun to their head." "Honey, I am an expert at making people do things with a gun to their head." "You've made it." "Michael, have a seat." "Nikita, a car will meet you outside." "Once you have given us the prion, we will begin the surgery." "No." "No deal till the surgery's done." "Yeah." "We have a bad history with people like you." "Since the day you first made contact with us, we have only offered to help." "Now we have given you a gift in good faith." "Why not give us ours in return?" "We knew it'd come to this." "Well, that's why we have insurance." "Nikita, we're talking about surgery." "This is going to take hours." "At some point, we're gonna have to trust these guys." "No, I won't do it." "Not if it puts you at risk." "It's not your decision." "You can't control this anymore." "Just let go." "For me." "All right, start the procedure." "Shortly before we revive Michael, we'll signal you to deliver the prion." "And if I don't, he dies?" "No, we'll revive him, but he will not get the necessary anti-rejection serum." "He will lose the hand in a matter of days." "And it will be painful." "We'll deliver." "Fair enough." "That wasn't so difficult, was it, Nikita?" "Place the bio-prosthesis on the table." "The machine will do the rest." "Michael, remove your prosthetic, position yourself in the chair." "And Nikita, you will have to administer the anesthetic." "Make sure you're the first thing I see when I wake up, huh?" "I thought this would be easier." "No fingerprints?" "Casing was thrashed by the explosion." "Whole area around the server was clean too." "Whoever's running this mutiny really knows what they're doing." "I may have something." "What is it?" "Residual code from a hack." "An active script left inside the access terminal at the armory." "That was me." "You?" "Yeah." "Well, we know that they got the explosive from hacking access to the armory, so I laid a little dummy code, make them think they forgot to scrub it, so when they scrub it" "We get an alert." "You wanna catch a fish, you gotta have a hook." " Clever boy." " Isn't he, though?" "Hmm." "Well, I'll monitor from here." "We have a bite." "The thief is trying to erase the script." "Well, we'd better get down there, then." "Wait." "It's coming from Ops." "♪" "Stop!" "A car is on its way." "Once you've handed over the prion, we'll finish the surgery." "There's one more thing you should know." "I have it rigged to blow." "If anything happens to Michael while I'm gone" "What happened to our deal?" "We still have one." "This is my insurance." "How the hell'd they get here?" "Not before I take back what's mine!" "It's not yours!" "It's not even mine!" "I don't even have it anymore." "I'll believe that when I see it." "Should I be concerned about that explosion?" " No." "I'm on my way." " Time is running out." "I can go faster if you shut up." "Oh, and one more thing." "Look out behind you." "♪" "How's your boyfriend?" "Annoyed." "They're patching him up in medical now, thanks." "It's a good thing you got caught." "This way, I don't have to tell the President another agent went rogue." "Awesome." "For you." "It means you can still get your pardon once we shut Division down." "That day will never come." "It will if people stop going rogue." "Now, just tell me who else is involved, and trust me, we will all get to walk away from here one day." "The President will honor the deal." "It's not a deal." "It's an ultimatum." "It was, Rachel." "Not anymore." "You don't have to take the fall for the others." "Rachel." "The plan to get everyone out was my idea." "Without me, it dies." "I still need names." "I will take the fall for the others, but I won't let them do the same for me." "They're dead in the water without me." "We need to know who they are." "That doesn't matter!" "Not to have to worry about any tipping point because no one else is going rogue." "What did you just say?" "I said it's over." ""Tipping point." How could you know about that?" "It's just a phrase." "I don't know." "I said that once, when I was talking to" "Rachel says that she's the leader, but that isn't true." "Is it?" "She's not taking the fall for the others." "She's taking the fall for you." "Well, somebody has to look out for them." "If they stay, you and Nikita and this place, you're gonna get everyone killed." "Alex, you can't possibly believe that." "I have seen it." "If Division is left standing, more people are gonna die." "Just like Jason and Larissa..." " Larissa?" " And all the other girls." "What?" "What other girls?" "No, I will not let you hurt them." "Alex, what are you doing?" "Stay away from me." "Do it." "He's gonna turn us both in." "Alex, think." "It's not too late to fix this." "Alex, give me the gun." "Alex?" "Alex, I'm sorry." "I got your signal." "I was gonna take the fall." "I screwed up." "I'm sorry." "We have to get out of here." "We gotta go before anybody knows what happened." "We have to get everyone out." "What the hell are you saying?" "It's just you and me now." "Alex!" "You're right." "You're right." "It's just us." "Nikita does whatever she thinks is best for her." "We leave them here." "They're just gonna become another Jason." "But there's nothing we can do now." "No, the plan will still work." "How?" "How?" "You're gonna have to take the fall." "Make it look like you took my gun." "Then they'll think I shot him." "They're not gonna kill you." "They'll put you in holding." "They'll interrogate you." "All you have to do is hold out long enough so that I can set everyone free." "What if he lives?" "Rachel, we're gonna be okay." "All of us." "Freedom, remember?" "It's like riding a bike." "Exactly." "Now I need you to hit me." "Make it good." "I'll call for help." "You get upstairs, and you make sure you get caught." "See you on the other side." "Oh, my God." "Alex." "Alex." "He's lost a lot of blood." "They're not sure when he'll wake up." "I should've been here." " You couldn't have known." " What happened?" "It was a breakout." "Rachel's people have been rigging access terminals from the start." "One of them hacked an interrogation room door, stormed in behind me." "Rachel grabbed my gun, took off firing." "The only reason I didn't get shot was..." "He took a bullet for me." "Okay, did Rachel say something before it happened?" "She said..." "That she's had enough." "Closed-door meetings, missions on the side." "Division's being run by an inner circle, one that isn't concerned with anyone's future or shutting this place down." "So she wants us all dead." "She wants everyone to be free." "I know you're upset, Dr. Wong." "I agreed to let you break into my lab, but I didn't expect this." "This was unacceptable." "Completely unacceptable." "We used Division to steal the prion so you would appear to be a victim." "You're protected, Dr. Wong." "And so is our organization." "You were supposed to get my security men to follow the thief to an American corporation." " We did that." " There wasn't supposed to be a gun fight." "State Security will ask too many questions now." "We have that under control." "And Division?" "Did you get them to stop asking questions about us?" "All they know, or think they know, is that we are a U.S.-based organization with a keen interest in technology." "We also arranged for one of them to receive a very nice gift." "I have high hopes for our future." "These things take time, of course." "You know, Fletch, I gotta tell you, the day that you came up with your crazy idea to keep Division open, I..." "I was scared." "Part of me just wanted to run, just bust through the doors and-- and fight our way out." "But you saw a future." "You saw something that none of us could see." "I wonder..." "Did you see this?" "I'm so sorry I wasn't there." "You know, you told me once that..." "I saved your life." "Do you remember?" "The truth is, my friend, you saved mine." "More times than I can even tell you." "We can't do this without you." "♪" "== sync, corrected by elderman =="
