Nikita

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.

But...looks 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.

Only...He 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 truth...all of it.

It's the only chance we got.

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 about...have 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
