Nice car.
Yeah, I'm aware of that.
You looking for me?
Not anymore.
Well, good. Get your ass off my paint.
Bad enough I gotta deal with swirl marks...
from those guess workers down at the detail shop.
Hey. You got a hearing problem?
- 911. - Yes.
I'd like to report the brutal and senseless murder of a Newark police detective.
I forgot how good you are when you're angry.
I forgot how easy you are to beat.
I see myself when I look at you
I'll give you my love If you want me to.
Nice try.
I can't believe I made it.
Two Division tails.
One on the train and one on the street.
I think satellite's hot too. I got 10 minutes, tops.
Amanda has you under surveillance? What are you doing here?
I asked her to come. What's the update?
Amanda definitely has complete control of Division.
She's strutting around the place like she just won Top Model.
No Oversight. No boundaries.
You wanna know what she's doing with all that power?
Nothing.
No missions have been activated. Nothing is in prep.
The only thing she's running is the propaganda machine.
Look at it. Oversight gets wiped out...
but nobody's the wiser. She's turned it into a tragedy.
The world thinks that some anti-government wacko did it.
That can't be all she's up to.
Oh, I asked her. She says that I should think of Division as a boutique agency.
- Only the most vital missions. - Vital to whom?
And why is she telling you this?
There is one mission she's prepping.
She wants to help me get my mother out of Russia. Says she has a plan.
Okay, listen to her and then say no.
Michael, she can't. She won't.
I wouldn't.
Are you saying that I should do it?
I'm saying that if you wanna get your mother out of Russia...
it's better that Amanda works with you than against you.
Keep your enemies closer, right?
If you get close to Amanda, better know what she's up to.
She wants Zetrov. And I'm the perfect way for her to do that.
So what happens when you change her plans?
We'll blow that bridge when we come to it.
For now, it's a...
it's a smart plan.
Get out of here, keep your eyes and ears open.
- It's Birkhoff. - What's up?
He's in Seattle looking into countermeasures for the house.
Two signal intrusions that almost...
What is it?
He said you made the local news.
Newark police defective Peter Edmonds was shot and killed...
outside this local bar last night and the case has a bizarre, shocking twist.
You're looking at the late Nikita Mears, runaway and drug addict...
sentenced to death for killing Newark police officer Eric Deros...
Detective Edmonds' partner, some 10 years ago.
Mears was executed by the state of New Jersey...
but apparently she's still got some fans.
A 911 call wasn't any help in identifying the shooter.
- Could you tell us your name, sir? - I'd like to remain anonymous.
What the hell is he doing? Trying to expose you?
No. Because that would expose Division, and he still wants that back.
Nikita, what are you on?
- You don't have a choice! - Stand back.
Shut up.
- Whoa! Whoa! - Don't touch her.
He's trying to shake me up.
Newark police detective Peter Edmonds...
was shot outside this local bar last night...
and the case has a bizarre and shocking twist. You're looking at...
Senator Madeline Pierce's office. Please hold.
Drug addict, sentenced to death for killing Newark police officer Eric Deros...
Detective Edmonds' partner, some 10 years ago.
- News has been posted. - I can see that.
Thank you for holding. How may I help you?
Would you tell her an old friend from Division is calling to see if she's okay?
She'll wanna pick up.
It's from the senator's office. Going secure.
I have Percy on the line. Can you trace it through your equipment?
Percy called your office? What does he want?
He wants to speak with you.
Transfer it.
I take it you got my message?
Yeah, it was subtle, but I caught it.
I'm glad the senator could help facilitate this call.
- It shows she still has some use left. - What do you want?
I'm seeing the appeal, being on the road, on the run.
- It's exciting. - Percy, what do you want?
Well, just that it occurred to me as we are both rogue now...
that we share a common enemy.
The only person I wanna kill more than Amanda is you.
Hmm. I was afraid you were gonna say that.
I like you afraid.
No, I meant afraid for you.
You see, Nikita, I had a plan.
To overthrow Amanda and restore order to Division.
But your vindictiveness has denied me that.
So now I'm gonna have to hurt you.
Wanna meet on the playground after school? All right, I'm in.
You're not listening.
You took something from me and now I'm going to take something from you.
Someone you love. Because now I'm feeling vindictive.
Bring it on.
- All the people I love carry guns. - Not Carla Bennett.
Hello? Anyone there?
She abandoned me. I don't care about her.
No, of course you don't care about the woman who got you clean.
The woman you loved so much you wanted to call her "Mom."
Sweetheart, I know more about you than you know about yourself.
And I'm gonna use it to cause you pain.
You won't be able to find her.
One good thing about not having Division...
is that I need only focus on one operation at a time.
You wanted Daddy's attention? You got it.
"You're hired."
What? - Ha-ha-ha.
- Oh! You did it. - Yeah.
I start tomorrow.
That hospital needs somebody just like you.
I mean, you have helped so much since you've come here.
I mean, look at how much this place has changed.
I'm scared, Carla.
When he said I got the job...
I just wanted to run.
That's because you have been told all your life that you're not worth it.
When you're young, you hear that over and over...
that starts to sink in.
But you are so much stronger now.
You're a wildflower.
Wildflowers, they grow in the desert, the most horrible place on the planet.
Because they save their strength and they wait for the rain to come.
And they reach for the sun and they bloom.
And that's what you're gonna do, Nikita.
You're gonna bloom.
Why are you doing this for me?
Because one day, you're gonna do this for somebody else.
That's the way it's supposed to work.
Okay.
Carla Bennett got me clean.
She was the only good thing I had in my life till Division made me who I am.
I'm not gonna let Percy hurt her.
- Nikita, you know this is a trap. - What choice do I have?
He says he's gonna go after her, he's gonna go after her.
He's using you to get her into the open.
What if he's already onto Carla and he's...
Waiting for us when we get there?
I hope he is, Michael. I really, really do.
You don't owe this woman anything.
She abandoned you. She let you down.
No, I let her down.
I just don't like to think about it.
What are you talking about?
Carla got me clean.
But I relapsed.
I was really sick, Michael.
I couldn't let go of my life.
I couldn't forgive.
And then the job.
The new job was too much.
Sol ran.
I got high.
And I went back to find her.
I needed help.
There were a couple of cops there.
- That's when things got out of control. - You shot one of them. That part I know.
Yeah.
Carla was on the run from a drug charge in another state.
She was an addict too. Before.
After that night, she had to run again.
It was my fault.
Is that why you haven't been looking for her'?
I wanted Division dead and gone so that my life wouldn't affect her life.
Same way that you don't want any of this to come down on your son.
Okay.
If she's underground, it's going to be difficult to track her.
But we'll find her.
How's this gonna work, exactly? - You'll see.
I'm glad you're taking me up on this, Alex.
I just need to know one thing.
- What's that? - There will be no more rogue behavior.
No running off half-cocked to do this all by yourself.
We're working together.
Your reappearance as Alexandra Udinov will raise a lot of questions.
Sonya and I are here to help answer them.
Amanda's crafted a cover story for you.
We just need to select the right Division agents who can act as alibis...
corroborate the details to members of the press. Help you sell the story.
- New wardrobe. - One more suitable...
for the lost daughter of wealth and power now fallen on hard times.
Nice headline.
Maybe I'll have the paparazzi follow me around.
How's that gonna bring down Semak?
It will paralyze him.
Your very existence puts Semak in a precarious position.
The only reason he has control of Zetrov...
is because the world believes all the Udinovs are dead.
Everything he has is rightfully yours.
I just want my mother away from him.
I don't want the company.
We know that. Semak doesn't.
That's your power.
We cannot escape our destiny.
It calls to us. And if we don't respond, it finds us.
As the lone survivor of this horrific attach.
My destiny is to ensure that this kind of tragedy never befalls us again.
And yet, I find myself searching for strength.
I'm reminded of one of my constituents.
A woman who helped those less fortunate than her. She used to say:
"Wildflowers survive in the desert because they save their strength."
They wait for the rain, they reach for the sun...
"and, finally, they bloom."
I would very much like to hear from this wonderful woman again.
She has the strength that will help me face my destiny.
Thank you.
Clever, clever.
- They brought you in through the tunnels? - Everything went like clockwork.
It's been a bit of madhouse here.
So you've had some calls.
Too many.
You make one appeal to talk to a constituent...
your phone starts ringing off the hook.
I can't thank you enough, senator.
Wildflower has a special meaning for the two of us.
She'll know it came from me.
Might take a while, but if Carla heard that phrase, she will call.
Good. Could be a long day.
Senator, it's another call.
This one gave her name as Carla.
- Carla? - Nikita?
- Is it...? - Yeah, it's me.
How are you?
I need to see you. Can I see you?
- Carla? - Yeah.
It's important. You name the time and the place.
Okay, I'll come to you.
Yeah, I know where that is.
Down by the tracks. I'll see you there in an hour.
Okay-
Baltimore.
Security can take you out the same way you came in.
We'll show ourselves out.
There's a gentleman who might be following us.
Senator.
Baltimore. Can't tail them, don't know how they got in.
But I heard half the conversation.
Should be able to get close.
Carla!
- Carla. - I'm right here. I'm here.
- It's okay. - Come here. You're all right.
Listen, you're in a safe place. You're in a safe place.
Let me see your arm.
Let me see your arm, sweetie? Okay, you're all right.
Here, just relax. Just relax.
Just breathe, just breathe, just breathe.
Hey there, Wildflower.
Carla?
You look so good.
I never thought I'd hear from you again.
Through a senator, no less.
Hey, Carla, my name is Michael. Is there a place where we can all talk?
- You said you live around here? - Yeah.
I live right over here.
- That's odd. - What is it?
- I'm not sure. - What is it?
Senator Pierce.
Wildflowers survive in the desert because they save their strength.
A phrase she used in this speech tripped one of Amanda's alerts.
- Amanda's? - On her personal task list.
It brought up a file on a convicted criminal named Carla Bennett.
Wait, this is a standing kill order.
Yeah, first on the list, even above Percy.
Amanda wants this woman very dead.
After that night you killed that cop, things got really bad for me.
I had to go to Mexico.
I worked my way back to the States a few years later.
But ifs been tough keeping my head above water...
and it's even tougher these days.
Carla, I had no idea.
I had no idea about you.
It's a good thing you're friends with a senator.
I only get three channels on this.
Gates House was covered on all three.
We should go.
Yeah, Carla, it's cold out here. Our car's over there. Let's go.
What about my car? I can'! Leave it here, somebody will take my stuff.
I have enough money for you to start over.
Just come with us.
How are you doing so well?
We gotta move.
- How are you not in prison? - I was.
You got out after seven years for killing a cop?
Not exactly.
You broke out? What, the senator helped you?
I was on death row, Carla.
What?
How are you standing here? Was your case thrown out?
It's complicated.
I gotta take this.
- Yeah. - Hi.
Remember when you told me about that woman who helped you?
Carla Bennett?
I do.
There's a standing kill order out on her.
Listen up. Carla Bennett is priority target number one.
Nikita, she's on Amanda's personal task list.
Above Percy. Above you.
Why would Division wanna kill her?
I gotta go.
You're Division?
- What? - Don't lie to me.
- What the hell is Division? - Government program.
Kill for them or you die. How I got off death row.
I've been running from them for four years. I'm still running.
And I thought that they were using you to get to me.
Michael, she's on the top of Amanda's kill list.
Amanda?
What happened to Percy?
So you are Division.
It wasn't called that when I was there.
Nikita, I had no idea.
Come on.
It's Percy.
- They're gonna flank us. - We gotta leapfrog back.
What about Carla?
- They are not gonna hurt you again. - Get down.
Not because of me.
Carla!
Well, been a long time.
You wanted to talk to me?
- Very much so. - Then drive.
And leave her the hell out of this mess.
She was real.
She was. I knew her.
How?
Nikita, I haven't heard the name Carla Bennett before you told me.
- I worked at Division for 10 years. - Too big of a coincidence.
The one person I know who's farthest from Division?
It can't be a coincidence. There has to be an answer.
Did she select me?
She set me up?
We didn't operate that way.
The selection process for recruiting starts with the Bureau of Prisons.
Yes, but you can put something in their path. I did it with Alex.
Maybe Division was after Carla.
She was on the run when you knew her.
Maybe she was running away from them.
Yes, but why would they find me and not...?
The gun.
- What gun? - That night.
It's all about that night.
Detective Edmonds was shaking her down...
for running an unlicensed halfway house.
I had just lost the job and gotten high again.
I can collect that, if you wish...
and we can avoid all that paperwork down at city hall.
Carla, don'! Listen.
Carla? - Nikita?
Wait your turn, honey. Eric, check her pockets...
- see if she's holding. - Sorry.
- Don't touch me. - Hey!
Then Sammy was protecting me.
- Stand back. - Whoa, let's just be calm. Come on.
- Let me just talk to her. - Nikita?
What did you take? What are you on?
- Shut up. - Stand back.
- Can we get back to business? - Back.
Punk-ass, bitch-ass piglet.
- I'm not gonna tell you again. - Hey!
- Would you calm your partner down? - My guy's doing his job, all right?
- No, he's not. - Nikita.
- Nikita, come here. - Nikita, don't.
Sammy, he's gonna do it, he says.
Don't touch her.
Hey! - That's it, you're going down.
Oh, Sam.
That's when everything went sideways.
Let me guess. Detective Edmonds wanted to cover it up.
Oh, my God. I thought he was...
- Eric. Eric. - I saw him reaching...
He pulled a gun.
You hear me? He pulled a gun.
You shot him in self-defense.
No.
- Right? - No.
Look, you do not wanna play with me.
That's a good kid, right there. A family man.
- Find a tweaker in your next town. - He's a good man. Nikita.
Nikita.
- I am not in this. - You are in this.
And you don't have a choice!
- Get out of the way. Get out of the way. - Hey! Uhn!
Nikita.
No.
She put her hand on the gun to stop me from killing Edmonds.
It only takes one fingerprint to hit the grid.
That's how she got back on Division's radar.
And how you got on their radar in the first place.
But it doesn't explain why Percy wanted her alive.
Wait, what? What do you mean?
Michael?
This wasn't a trap.
He didn't use Carla to find you, he used you to find Carla.
But why?
Roan, what happened to your face?
You met her.
Good Lord. Look at you.
Look at you.
The captain of an empty ship.
That's temporary.
Just tell me what you want, Percy.
To apologize, for starters.
For sending an agent to my house to kill me 12 years ago?
I didn't do that.
No, no. Amanda did.
- But you must've known about it. - What I know is what she told me.
That you were gonna expose the program.
That is not the truth.
Then why did you run? Why didn't you come to me?
Could I have?
I'm not gonna do this.
This is pointless.
We are paying the price for the things that we did.
Then let's make it right.
We both know she's always had it out for you.
What I don't understand is why Amanda's so afraid of you.
She's afraid of me?
I don't know.
But she must be holding a grudge.
Come on.
You've been off the grid and even that wasn't good enough for her.
The day after she put me in the cell, she reinstated your kill order.
It was the next day, right?
That's a long way to go for a grudge.
A 911 call wasn't any help in identifying the shooter.
- Could you tell us your name, sir? - I'd like to remain anonymous.
Percy.
I don't understand. Why would Percy be involved with a Newark policeman?
He's digging up Nikita's past.
And that's connected to this Carla Bennett person? Who is she?
Find Percy.
I want all assets, all surveillance focused on Newark...
and the surrounding area. Now.
If Carla was on the run from Division when I met her...
she was already their enemy.
No way she would've pulled me in there.
That's why she walked to Percy.
Taking the hit, trying to make things right.
But she didn't take the hit. She just got in the car.
Michael, I need answers. I mean, I need them.
I know, I know. And we're gonna get them.
- How? - Find Percy.
How?
I don't know. I just want to put a bullet in him.
Well, now you can. His dead-man switch is useless.
His dead-man switch.
It's like a pacemaker, right? It's designed to send out a signal?
- Yeah. - Is there a way we can...
- hone in on that signal? - Nikita?
Use it like a tracker implant. Lead us straight to him.
We already thought of that, Birkhoff and I. Won't work.
Why not? It's just a reverse ping.
Yes, signal can only be reverse-pinged through Division's satellite nodes.
So we'd have to be inside Division?
Inside Operations.
- What's happening? - Oh, you know.
Mind-blowing tragedy.
- Just another Tuesday. - What?
Never mind. I need your help.
- Did you find Carla? - No. You're gonna find her for us.
- By finding Percy. - What?
Do it from inside Operations, using Division's satellites.
How am I gonna keep it from Amanda?
You're not.
Once I have the right frequency, I just reverse-ping it?
That's it.
This is very impressive, Alex.
How did you come up with it?
You know all that time Percy made me spend with him in his cell?
While he was rattling on, I was dreaming up ways to shut him up.
I wanted to use the trigger to short-circuit his heart...
but that wouldn't work, so I thought up this.
Are we sure he even has a heart?
I'm getting a signal. Industrial sector. Corner of Rayford and Commerce.
- Rayford and Commerce. - Yes, on the northeast corner.
Send a strike team immediately.
How long was Nikita in the program?
- I wanna know what happened to her. - Later.
Now.
You first.
What about Amanda?
Come on. Don't you want your life back?
I don't know.
You have changed.
No, I mean I don't know why Amanda tried having me killed.
Well, she's a woman with secrets...
you must've discovered something.
I know one day something changed, but I don't know what triggered it.
- Think. - I don't know what.
Why would I lie?
I scored plans from the hall of records.
There's a foreman's office in the middle. If I had Carla, that's where I'd keep her.
You hear the way she asked about him? Like they were old friends.
'Well, we're here to get answers not jump to conclusions.
Careful what you wish for.
If there's one thing I know, the truth can set you free.
Or put you in a whole new prison.
Looks like Percy's car.
Nikita, I know you have a lot of questions, but don't forget...
Carla did save you.
And if it wasn't for her...
you and I would never have met.
There they are.
- Those aren't grab teams, Michael. - Yeah, I know.
We got this.
Sir, my countermeasures logged what looked like...
a Division satellite node snooping. They pinged a device in this room.
All this stuff is dead, my computer's secure.
She's clean.
Might have been a reverse ping, sir.
It was not a device. It's me.
- Took care of the car? - Yes, sir.
All right. Then move out.
Team One. Disable the evac car.
No way they're getting out of here.
That was quick.
Sir, do you com'?
- Go ahead. - Ifs Division.
The main circuit's been cut. Teams must already be inside.
- What are you doing? - Saving your life. Get down.
Okay, go!
Let her go.
- You won't do it. - No, you're right.
No.
This is Amanda.
Don't bother tracking the dead-man's switch.
We're jamming it now.
Congratulations.
Not the first time I've shut you out, huh?
What do you want, Percy?
To share.
As you may know, I ran into an old friend today...
who is still very pissed off at you.
Some people just don't know when to let go.
- You're pulling my leg, right? - You can talk all you want...
but the fact is, I'm here and you're out there.
Division is mine and there is not a thing you can do about it.
Yeah, well, maybe Nikita can. She's with her now.
Nighty-night.
Tell me again, Alex.
Tell me again why you're doing this.
To save my mother.
Do you love her?
Of course.
I don't really know her and that's something that I wanna change.
This is not just a mission for you.
Confronting a ghost from your past is never easy.
You have to be willing to do whatever it takes.
You speak from experience?
Remember, you won't be alone.
And I don't just mean Division.
I'll be with you, no matter what comes.
Good to know.
I told you you'd save somebody else some day.
Nikita, I know you have a lot of questions.
I have spent so much time on the run...
just lost in my own head.
And then to see you...
When you told me that you were in Division, I couldn't believe it.
I thought it was a trick.
And then I couldn't accept the coincidence.
But then I remembered there are no coincidences.
I don't care about your philosophy, Carla.
I want the truth.
The truth is...
this is a nightmare for me.
You being involved in this.
And me being the cause?
How could I have ever wanted this for you, Nikita?
All I ever wanted to do was to help you.
But what's so crazy...
is that you didn't just survive in the desert, you thrived.
I mean, when I last saw you, you couldn't even hold down a job.
Stop.
Nikita, just listen to me.
What I'm trying to tell you...
is that everything that has happened to you is a gift.
No. More than that.
I believe it's destiny.
Our destiny.
All right, that's enough.
I don't believe a word you're saying.
I was at Division for 10 years.
I never heard of you.
When Nikita escaped, Percy and Amanda said she was the first to ever escape.
And that's true.
Because I wasn't in the program.
I created it.
