Previously on Nilita.
People I used to work for,
they are called Divison,
a black-ops program that has now gone rogue.
If I was on the inside,
I could tell you what they were planning before they do it.
We discovered the location of a black box.
It contains evidence of every job Division's ever done.
It was guarded by one of Division's deadliest.
I wasn't just any Cleaner.
I canceled other agents.
People they had fallen in love with.
We need to find the rest of the black boxes
so we can kill Percy.
First box I want to test is in London.
Well, if there's a guardian on the ground on London,
I'll know what to look for.
Then call me.
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. Yeah, I'm sure that wouldn't arouse suspicion.
Let's hope.
- Nikita, I'm serious. - Yes, I know.
Very serious. My boy is always so serious.
Michael.
When are you gonna tell Alex about us?
Not now. She's under a lot of pressure right now.
I don't know if she could handle any big surprises.
Nikita?
- Wa-wa-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?
What we talked about.
Find the next black box and the guardian that protects them.
We talked about that three months ago.
And then we talked about the guardian being in London.
Okay, 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, eight million people,
and you were able to find out where he was
in only three months?
Michael, please.
Owen, when we talked, we also said that
you would call if you found anything.
You didn't have to come all the way 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.
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 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, so...
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.
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 internal security protocols.
Do you have a moment?
Not really, though that does sound like a good time.
What's going on?
Problem on Emerald Eagle.
Our little corporate heist job's gone sideways.
What went wrong?
That's what we'd like to find out.
It should have been easy in, easy out,
But a couple of overachieving security guards
decided to play hero.
One agent was killed. Two wounded.
Here they come now.
Jaden was on this mission?
A provisional.
She was supposed to graduate like Alex here.
Alex, I want you to 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 every agent's 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.
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.
Now 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?
Oh, these?
They're my victims.
Each one of these is a reminder of a kill I made
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 'em.
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 got to find this guy.
Okay, so your plan was to stake out all the banks in this area
and what?
Hope that 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.
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--they start to erode.
I mean, 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.
Owen? Hey, Owen. What's wrong?
I just get these headaches.
I just forgot what time it is.
- What is that? - It's the Regimen.
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 got to 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.
Great.
Trust me, no one wants to be here less than me.
Want to 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?
I'm just trying to find out when exactly things went wrong.
About the time you walked into this room.
- Who fired first? - I don't know.
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.
Look, 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.
You're trying to get me caught up in your lies again.
- What? - Uh-huh. The air vents.
I caught you sneaking around in 'em.
- 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.
Jaden, you're free to go.
And Alex. Please stay.
The 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,
and there's an ongoing charge
that's 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's a default option.
Container A-541.
It's currently sitting at the port of London.
Not as useless as I thought.
I really don't like that guy.
He doesn't mean it.
Hey, what do you know about the Regimen?
The 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.
Do you think you can get more from Division?
No, it was discontinued years ago.
Percy must have kept a stash for the Guardians.
Nikita, listen to me. Walk. Get away from Owen.
Michael, what are you talking about?
If Owen is going through Regimen withdrawal,
you have to leave him. Better yet, shoot him.
- What? - Listen, when we discontinued the Regimen,
we discovered that 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?
And 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.
So how long you and Michael been...
Not long.
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,
- that was... - He was aiming at you.
Oh. Jealous type, huh?
He's over-protective.
Kind of scrawny.
He's built where it counts. Can we move on?
Yeah.
Here it is.
A-541.
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?
'Cause it's not just about dissolving the bodies in acid.
We arrange it so people don't even 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.
The 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 of them 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?
We have to get out of here.
I think the Guardian knows we're here.
Are you 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 of them 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 then we'll find a way to wean you off 'em.
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 want to 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.
So he'll be going to the bank. We need to get there first.
No, I did a walk-through on all the banks.
They're all basically just the same.
In Montreal, how did you choose your bank?
- 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.
They went from floor to ceiling.
There was a back door.
Opened into an alley.
It's better than the parking lot because it provided cover.
The alley.
The Royal Birkham.
On Crowndale.
Stay here.
I'm gonna try to talk my way
into the safety deposit room,
see if we can set up some kind of remote surveillance.
Hey. Stay here.
Owen!
Stay down.
Owen. Put the box on the ground.
Why?
I'm gonna shoot it, and we can get out of here.
- Come on. - If you kill the box,
then the truth dies with it.
We got to release the truth.
No. We talked about this, remember?
You said it's time this all came to an end.
Owen, hand it over.
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 canceled.
Truth.
He didn't think I had enough evidence
to support my conclusion.
But 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 want to 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?
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.
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.
Owen?
- Nikita? - Michael.
What are you doing here?
I'm here to make sure you're okay.
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.
The longer he goes without the 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
and then we find a way to get him clean.
Well, it's impossible.
Impossible?
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 want to help him, tell me this.
Where is he right now?
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.
If he wants to transmit,
then he'll have to get a sample of the Guardian's blood.
Well, the Guardian's out for Owen's blood.
We can't let them come together.
Percy. Guardian Canada one.
Not anymore you're not.
Don't you want to 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?
Because it'll bring some light into the world.
'cause it will bring peace to the innocent.
And because it'll hurt you.
Got him. St. Christopher's church,
Jamestown road.
Alert all London teams to proceed to that location
and take out Owen.
Priority one.
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 strike team to back off?
Possibly.
But I can't control the 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.
Yeah.
We have a situation, Michael.
Amanda.
I'm kind of busy right now.
I understand, but Alex has made an accusation against you.
Alex?
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 have 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 of all people should know about the dangers
of an agent falling in love with a recruit, Michael.
Yeah, I'll keep that in mind.
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.
Lie.
-Give me the box. -Give me your blood.
You're gonna die for no reason.
No reason you'd understand.
Owen, we can get you the regimen.
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 will remember Emily,
Nikita, move.
and Daniel,
And everybody else.
Nikita, move.
No! No!
Michael, don't!
No!
Thanks for not taking the shot.
I still don't like the guy.
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.
Perhaps.
Have you noticed that I end up your nurse a lot?
You're unconscious half the time we're together.
Easy. Easy. Easy.
I've been crushing your pills,
giving them to you intravenously,
so the dosages might be a little off.
My pills?
Yeah. Michael recovered them from the Guardian's safe house.
About a half-year supply.
Thanks.
We got to 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.
Owen, 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?
Hello.
Hey, where are you?
I'm in London.
But I'm coming home.
We got to 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.
