Forecast: Plenty of sunshine
through today
with seasonal temperatures.
We should reach our normal high
of about 82 degrees
by this afternoon.
Clear skies tonight
with a low near 70.
Increasing cloudiness tomorrow,
sticky and humid,
with a high of 96.
With the winds out of the east
at 14 miles per hour,
it's currently 75 degrees.
Feels like a dream, right?
Yeah.
What kind of dream?
The good kind.
You'll see.
No matter how this ends,
no matter what happens,
Amanda's dead,
and we won.
Wait here for Mr.
Avery.
Hey.
It's Amanda, right?
Why are you still alive,
again?
Apparently,
you wanted to see me.
Oh, right.
Just wanted to meet the lady
who lost us $14 billion.
The plan to sacrifice MDK
was Jones's idea, not mine.
I know.
I'm just messing with you.
Jones, he cleared his play
with the rest of the group.
But he's taking the hit now.
Butlooks like it worked.
President Spencer is alive
and was, in fact,
rescued from MDK headquarters
by Miss Nikita Mears.
That's all I know at this time.
I know the nation has
a lot of questions--so do I.
I'm going to speak
with those involved,
and I will return with answers.
Thank you.
Senator Chappell.
Senator Chappell.
One of your doubles,
I presume?
What, the senator? No.
No, he's a real genuine
blowhard.
Old man actually believes
what he's saying.
Intended to apprehend
the suspect,
but she managed
to flee the scene.
Nikita the hero.
See, that's
That's what I wanted
to talk to you about.
That little girl
has got to stay a hero
so that people believe
she foiled a conspiracy.
It's the only way our group
stays secret.
We don't need any grudge matches
from the past
disturbing a very
expensive illusion.
All right, Sam.
Where the hell did you go?
Paris?
If you're stealing my diamonds,
why did you go
where I asked you to?
- Where are you?
- Nikita, where are you?
They're holding us
at a military base in Virginia.
- Holding?
- They're being polite about it.
I have a house and a yard.
- Well, what do they want?
- I don't know.
I don't even think
they know yet.
Listen, until we know
how this plays out,
you and Sam lay low,
all right?
That might not be an option.
Why not?
Sam tried to steal my
diamonds, so I sent him to Paris
with a bag of fakes,
thinking he'd skip town.
OnlyHe actually did
go to Paris.
I'm not sure what to do.
Try the truth.
Go find him, because I may need
you guys to come back here.
I'll call you when it's safe.
Hey.
Where are you?
I went to the safe house.
Sonya never showed.
- I know.
- You know?
I waited for hours.
Sam, the diamonds aren't real.
Nothing.
I know you tried
to steal them back in Zurich.
I couldn't trust you with them.
Sam?
Sam!
Hey.
Is the transport here yet?
- Not yet.
- What's going on?
I thought we had to go
give our statements.
Well, that's why I'm here.
Birkhoff said he got you online.
Where's your computer?
Be my guest.
I have to figure out
what's been reported
before I can
figure out our cover story.
Isn't it a little late
for that?
I mean, if you have a better
idea, then
MDK?
We took them down.
Why are you
The way we found them,
catching Ramon on Shadownet--
if they used a different
operative,
any other operative,
we never would've found them,
much less stopped them.
You think we got lucky.
I think Jones got sloppy.
And if there's one thing
he isn't--I hate to say it,
but it's almost as if
he wanted to be found.
That's us.
So what are we gonna tell
these yahoos?
The truthall of it.
It's the only chance we got.
Original Air Date on December 20, 2013
Why should I be concerned
about our doubles?
They are human weapons.
Tools, essentially,
that you've created.
And what if one of them
rebels?
Rebels how, hmm?
Quits their cover and pretends
to be the CEO
of some other company?
How abouthave their
corporate security force
take you and the rest
of the group members out?
That is why
you have to act now.
The loss of MDK could be
misinterpreted as a weakness
by those who serve you.
They could use this
as their moment to strike.
I don't hear a solution.
It's the same one
I tried to pitch Percy.
Program the loyalty
of every double you have.
If you'd listened to me,
Division would still
be standing today.
I don't hear a guarantee.
Two of the doubles
I programmed shot themselves
because I told them to.
If that's not results,
I don't know what is.
This is U.
S.
Marine Colonel
Peter Slocum
conducting a debrief
of Nikita Mears.
This interview will be recorded.
Clearance level, SCI.
Miss Mears,
if you wouldn't mind,
let's start
from the beginning.
I killed a cop.
I was tried, convicted,
executed.
After my death,
I woke up in a white room.
There was a bright light.
That was Division.
We call them recruits.
I welcome them
to their new lives,
tell them about the second
chance they've been given.
Division was a load of crap.
They subverted
the entire justice system.
They grab a convicted felon,
fake his death,
put a gun to their head:
Join or die.
They would erase
your old life,
everything you'd ever been,
everyone you'd ever known.
Often it's no friendships,
no close relationships.
And we were very good
at what we did.
You played ball
or you got canceled,
and those were the rules set
forth by Amanda and Percy.
My colleagues in the CIA
called it my ghost unit.
Sanction the polite word
for assassinations.
Heads of state.
Political dissidents.
Turns out they were right.
Everyone at Division
was a ghost.
When they sent me to kill
Alexandra Udinov,
that's when everything changed.
I knew something was going on
with her from moment one.
I totally called it, but I'm,
like, the Nerd, right?
So nobody wants
to take me seriously.
A 13 year-old girl
was too far.
I know Percy didn't
see it coming.
I know that for a fact.
Revenge.
They had taken everything
from me,
and I was gonna burn their house
down and everything in it.
- So Percy
- And then Oversight
- Gogol.
- And the Shop.
Kill chips, polymer masks,
crazy poisons,
all of it supplied by MDK.
You're investigating
Philip Jones.
Any sign that he wasn't
working alone?
Amanda killed herself.
She'd rather die
than let me win.
Thank you for your candor.
- Sam, are you okay?
- Same old.
I owe some guys some money,
so they're punching me.
Oh!
Now they've got it in their
heads that me calling you
is somehow gonna get them paid.
Well, why haven't you
paid them?
Unh!
Because he gambled away
all his money,
and some of mine.
Who is this?
You were right not to trust
him with your diamonds.
However, if you wish
to see him alive again,
you will bring the real
stones to me in Paris,
at a place called--
oh, Club Besson?
Yeah, I'm already there.
She's here.
You see, I've got this little
app on my phone
called
"find my deadbeat boyfriend.
"
Let him go,
or I'll call the police.
Ms.
Mears.
Ed Chappell.
Pleased to meet you.
Just Nikita.
Yep.
Well, let me be
the first to thank you
for the giant pile of crap
you've left us to deal with.
- I understand.
- No, I was--
I was eager to hear the truth.
But some of the things
you've said in this room--
Must never be repeated.
I agree.
You agree.
Why do you think I never went
to the New York Times
after I left Division?
I knew that Percy
would erase the agents
still trapped there
in order to mitigate exposure.
It's the same reason
I didn't release the contents
of the Black Box.
Those secrets out there
cause chaos,
and that chaos
takes innocent lives.
I know how dangerous
the truth can be.
Well, I'm glad.
Because I do have something--
No.
You don't understand.
It's not my problem anymore,
Senator.
It's yours.
You edit the story.
I did my part.
Ms.
MearsNikita!
You don't understand.
I need someone to sell
this story to the people,
a face, a
A hero.
I need you.
Hand over the diamonds,
or he dies.
I'd make you an offer,
but you probably
won't accept it.
I don't know.
I'm areasonable man.
What's your offer?
That I don't kill you.
That's what I thought.
Aah!
I thought I told you
not to come.
Lucky for you, I don't believe
anything you say.
- Ow.
- Okay, come on.
Chappell wants me to testify
in front of a senate hearing
committee.
They--they need a hero to--
to help heal the country.
Since when have you been
afraid of a few congressmen?
It's not them.
It's everybody.
Everybody will know who I am.
But they already do.
Your face has been on the news
for months.
Let's not forget about
the YouTube videos.
I know that,
but that's notme.
That's
That's a cover.
That's Nikita the spy,
Nikita the assassin.
If I do this, it's me.
It's Nikita Mears,
the junky cop-killer.
I wish you could see yourself
the way that I do.
You have saved so many people,
including me,
I don't even know
how many times.
Alex would agree with that.
So would Ryan and Birkhoff.
We owe you our lives.
Now the world does too.
That's not the way
they'll see it.
Look.
I promise you
Once you tell them
your side of the story,
everyone will see you
the way that I do.
But just don't forget,
they are the ones who need you.
That's right.
Clear the room, please.
Pardons and immunity.
Done.
Birkhoff's is to include
anything that links him
to Shadowwalker.
And he wants you to write
a letter to the NSA
declaring him a hero.
Note to daddy--
not a problem.
Sonya wants to become
a citizen.
And Ryan--
wants a meeting with Jones.
I know.
We're already working on it.
He what?
When exactly
were you going to tell me?
I wasn't trying to
keep a secret.
I just didn't want
to worry you.
Can I come in?
Look.
I don't--
I've still got a lot
to prepare for, so
Ryan,
what are you doing?
Did I ever tell you about
my brother?
You told me he died
in Afghanistan.
When I asked how,
I got the standard crap--
line of duty,
service to your country.
Turned out he'd been
murdered by PMCs
who were guarding
an illegal mine.
Their company
paid to cover it up.
I'm so sorry, Ryan.
Look,
I recognize the signs--
someone using their power
and their influence
to hide the truth.
I felt the same thing again
with Division,
and I feel the same thing now--
too many secrets.
I get it.
I do.
But this may not be
the right time.
Before our pardons,
you won't have to--
All I want to do is talk
to Jones face to face.
Nikita, the man is in custody.
The committee
will come to order.
The committee
will come to order.
Please state your name
for the record
and then begin
your statement.
My name is Nikita Mears.
Ten years ago,
I was taken out of prison
and forced by a covert unit
of the government
to be an assassin.
They called themselves
Division.
Seven years ago, I was the first
recruit to escape.
Last year, I returned,
destroyed Division,
and freed those who remained.
As a result, one of the founders
of Division,
a woman named Amanda,
framed me for the assassination
of President Kathleen Spencer
in order to start a war.
Three days ago,
I watched her die.
And I'm relieved to say
Her ambition for further
bloodshed has died with her.
The next subject is en route.
Miss Dixon.
Miss Dixon.
What can you tell us about
the latest round of layoffs?
That they were necessary.
So you're saying 14,000 people
weren't necessary?
Are we done?
I have to get back.
They'll wait.
That's the nice thing about
being in charge
of a major corporation.
But, yes, we're done.
I have done everything
the group has ever asked.
But this is new and strange.
And we never have to
do it again.
But one more question.
Who do you ultimately serve--
yourself, the group, or me?
You
Of course.
Hey, Alex.
It's me.
It's safe to come in now.
That's good news.
I saw your testimony.
You look good.
Is it just me,
or is it really weird
to hear the sound
of your own voice?
Oh, my God.
I can't stand it.
Is this how you pictured it
ending?
I didn't think I was gonna
make it out of Division.
Well, you did.
We all did.
Sam's waking up.
I should go check on him.
I'll see you soon.
Hey.
It's been too long.
UmNikita needs me
back in the states.
So you can either leave now or
hitch a ride back with me.
Hitch a ride?
That's sweet of you.
I just saved your ***.
What more do you want?
An apology wouldn't be
the worst place to start.
For you stealing my diamonds?
Or--
Come on.
For the record,
I didn't steal them, okay?
And I came back,
and I saved you from that guy.
Which is why
I just flew to Paris
and pulled you out
of a filthy nightclub.
We're even.
Are you staying,
or are you leaving?
You want me to stay?
Why does it matter
what I want?
You know what?
Screw it.
One of us has got
to be honest here.
I'm sorry?
Why do you think
I went to Paris?
Honestly?
I'm at a bit of a loss.
Because you asked me.
Because even though
I really needed the money
and guys were willing
to kill me over it
I was trying to do
the right thing
for you.
Sam.
He'll be more cooperative
if I speak with him alone.
It may take a while.
I'll wait up front,
and we can head back to base
whenever you're ready.
I'll keep an eye on things
from my station
in case he gives you
any trouble.
You've been busy.
You want me to walk you
through all this,
or should we
cut to the chase?
Who am I to say?
I think you're the one
calling the shots now.
You wanted us to find you
and take down MDK.
You used Ramon, knowing we'd
pick him up on Shadownet.
You sent an operative
after Alex,
knowing he'd get caught
and give up MDK.
And you allowed Peller
to feed us information,
all so we could save the day
and believe you'd been defeated.
Nikita told you her price,
and you paid it.
Doesn't seem to have
worked out too well
for me, now, does it?
I've got a hunch
your friends will
get you out of here
eventually.
What friends would those be?
There's always a group
behind the group, right?
I think MDK is only one arm
of your organization.
You're never gonna stop
digging, are you?
I'll never stop looking
for the truth.
Percy called us a group.
I assume that's where you got
the term from.
But did you know there's eight
of us, my colleagues and I?
You probably have no idea how
so few can control so much.
Sadly, I'm afraid
you never will.
All right.
Yeah, thank you.
That was Senator Chappell.
Everything okay?
They want to give me the
Presidential Medal of Freedom.
So you're saying I was right.
They did a poll,
an approval poll,
to see how the news
was landing,
and apparently
I tested through the roof.
So now they want to capitalize
off the residual goodwill,
of course.
Hey, don't downplay this.
They love you.
And, far more importantly,
I was right.
No, you were wrong.
You once accused me of only
wanting another mission.
No more missions.
No more looking over
our shoulders.
And all I want is you.
We should get in the air.
They're expecting us back.
Then what?
Like I said, they'll debrief
us and give us our pardons.
Nothing's changed.
Nothing's changed?
You and me.
That was--
I don't know what that was.
Well, then--hey, hey, hey,
hey--let's find out.
I meant what I said
back there, okay?
You make me want to be better.
I just started to figure out
who I am.
You can't expect me to
tell you who you are too.
What do I got to do
to prove myself to you?
I don't want you to prove
anything to me.
This is about you,
who you really are,
not who you're willing to
pretend to be to make me happy.
I don't know who Sam is,
and neither do you.
You figure that out,
then we'll see.
You couldn't let Division go.
I guess I'm not surprised you
couldn't let this go either.
It's going to be a shame to
destroy such a beautiful mind.
Oh, no need.
No need.
I'm not going to hurt you.
Your death would raise
too many questions,
and Nikita might realize
that what happened in Dubai
was a carefully crafted
illusion.
- Then why abduct me?
- Catch and release.
A few tweaks to that brain
of yours
and we'll put you right back
where we found you,
perfectly satisfied with
the answers Jones provided.
It doesn't bother you,
Nikita believing you're dead?
Thinking she's finally free
of you?
Well, see, it turns out
Nikita's not the only one
who's been freed--
so have I.
I can finally plan
for my future.
In fact, since you won't
remember being here
in the next few minutes,
I have a secret
that I'm dying to share.
I'm taking over.
Soon, all 54
of the group's doubles
will be under my control.
Why?
I want to.
You're insane.
No.
No.
I--I disagree.
I think I've made
some real growth.
I'm finally moving on
with my life.
And now it's
time for you to move on.
No more suspicions.
No more doubts.
Ah!
Aah! Aah!
Hold your fire!
I need him alive and unharmed.
This has to be kept quiet.
Go in and get him.
UhhAah!
No more secrets.
Someone call 911.
We could go anywhere,
do anything.
Hmm.
Like finally get that little
house on the beach?
- Live boring lives.
- Mm-hmm.
Promise?
You know, you are
Michael Bishop again.
Maybe they'd let you back
in the Navy.
Thanks, but
I've seen enough war.
I'm ready to hang up my guns.
I thought you--you said you
needed to be part of something
bigger than yourself.
Yeah, but there are other ways
of doing that.
One of the few good things
I picked up during my time
in Division is learning
that I like being a teacher.
What were the other good
things?
You.
Hello?
Ma'am, you can't
come in here.
I'm family.
You'll be okay.
You'll be fine.
Ma'am, please.
I'm so sorry.
I wanted to be wrong.
Crash cart!
Get her out of here!
Clear!
Clear!
Again.
What's wrong?
Ryan Fletcher threw himself
out a window
And gave you a little something
to remember him by, I see.
To assure his message
reached Nikita.
We couldn't get to him
with so many people around.
We barely made it out
before the police arrived.
You know, so far, you've
proved about as useful to me
as you were to Jones.
What's Nikita going to do?
Tell the truth?
She's already done that.
Testified before Congress
and swore it was over.
You honestly think
she won't recant?
I think the United States
government
will never let that happen.
She's part of the system now.
Amanda is alive.
Whose body did we pull
out of the rubble in Dubai?
Probably a double, someone who
was coerced into playing Amanda.
Ryan's right.
This is bigger
than MDK and Jones.
Before he died,
he told me
there were seven other
group members out there.
Yeah, uh
Do we know who they are?
Not yet.
But we'll find out.
The first thing we have to do
is tell everybody
that we were wrong--
this isn't over.
If we're gonna go public,
we need more than speculation.
It'll take time to investigate.
Time we don't have, Senator.
They almost started
World War III.
What's next? We already know
they have doubles in place.
And that's why we can't say
anything without proof.
Look, the kind of panic
this could cause,
it would be unlike anything
we've ever seen,
world leaders accusing each
other of being imposters,
using it as an excuse for war,
uprisings, riots.
It'd be chaos.
Exactly.
That's why we can't do nothing.
We will find the truth,
and then we will figure out
what the hell to do with it.
But until then,
we don't tip our hand.
We let them believe that
they've won.
I will not go in there
and lie.
You have to.
The country--
hell, the world needs this.
They need to believe that
the bad guys have been defeated.
They need a hero,
and you're it.
He's right.
Ryan's dead, and they want
to give me a medal.
How is that right?
You said it yourself.
There are more doubles
out there.
They could be watching us
right now.
We have to be smart
in how we play this.
Amanda--
We will get her.
But we're not alone anymore.
They're ready for you.
It's my honor to present
Ms.
Nikita Mears.
Mikey, is it true?
Man, they wouldn't tell us
anything.
They just said there's been
some kind of an accident.
When we saw Nikita
on television,
we thought maybe
he was okay.
They want to keep it under
wraps as long as they can,
but Ryan is--
Ryan's dead.
Oh
It was Amanda.
Amanda.
She's alive?
That evil freakin' ***!
How is that possible?
Where is Nikita?
How is she handling this?
She's gonna need
a few minutes.
It's me.
I know you're not alone
right now,
but I really need to talk.
I'm supposed to let it go,
but I can't.
They don't get to win
not like this.
When we came here,
I thought it was finally over.
No more running and hiding
and lying.
I really believed that the truth
was going to free us,
but now I'm trapped
in an even bigger lie.
The world doesn't know that
Amanda is alive,
but I do, because Ryan
believed in the truth.
He died for the truth,
and I can't let that be
for nothing.
Going after her means breaking
some promises I made,
but I don't see another way.
I can't trust the system,
not with this.
It's failed me--all of us--
too many times.
Jones and his cronies,
they need to pay.
I want them to die
with the whole world watching
so everyone knows
who they really are
and what they've done.
Taking them on
I can't do it alone.
I know it's asking a lot,
but I need you.
Hey.
I need your help
one last time.
I got a message for you.
We started this fight
together,
just you and me.
A lot has happened since then,
but I know that this is how
it's supposed to end.
It's time to finish
what we started.
