Citadel
The Human Enigma
Nadia Sinh is one of the top agents for the organization, Citadel. She is in Italy for a mission to intercept Gregor Yovanovich. On the mission, Nadia calls in to her colleague Bernard to alert him she has Gregor in sight. He tells Nadia he has a bag with highly enriched uranium that he intends to sell to nefarious bidders. Bernard advises Nadia on the weapons she has in her purse and she hangs up.
A man approaches Nadia and asks her in Italian if anyone is sitting next to her. She recognizes him as Mason and assures him she can handle this case on her own. He tells her Grace said they needed the best on this and that they are a team.
The target moves and Nadia grabs Mason and kisses him to keep cover. Gregor's backup follows Nadia. Nadia makes it to the dining car and puts on red lipstick before approaching Gregor. She passes him his ID card and asks him if he lost it. She asks to join him and introduces herself as Charlotte. She points a gun at him and he guesses she is from Citadel, assuming originally that Citadel was just a myth. He calls her Nadia and tells her that his people fed her people false information so that he could hand deliver her a message.
Gregor hands Nadia a computer screen to show her a video of the destruction of Citadel offices and personnel across the world. She points her gun at him but Gregor's back up from all over the dining car point guns at her. A fight ensues. Nadia manages to shoot Gregor and some of his men. Mason and Nadia kill everyone and she tells Mason they were set up and that they're burning Citadel to the ground.
Nadia admits she lied to him and Mason admits he lied back. Bernard tries to connect to the audio but can't. Gregor, almost dead, tells them that Manticore will always win. He detonates a bomb on board and the train railcar derails and lands in the river. Nadia manages to survive the crash.
