14x09 - Into the Cold (finale)

[bunniefuu]

I am calling for an official
vote by the General Assembly

to ban private
spy organizations worldwide.

Their lawless shadow world
must end!

Can't they find
anyone to defend us?

Well, the North Koreans said
we're an excellent example

of the fatal contradictions
of capitalism.

Damn.
Why do the people who hate us

have the best arguments?

I mean, the easy answer
is 'cause they're right.

But the correct,
more complex answer, is,

- uh... very complex.
- Yes, I left Interpol abruptly.

And, yes, I work in an industry

whose rep is worse than
an ongoing orphanage fire.

But I'm easier to work with now.

Oh, that's just like you, Steve,

you dribble of piss.
[line beeps]

Ugh! Bollocks!

- So how's the job search?
- Honestly? On the upswing.

- [Lana] Guys, the mission?
- Really?

- We're still doing that?
- [Lana] Oh, come on.

They're just grandstanding.
Do you know how much

dirt private spy agencies
have on those UN dorks?

They'll cave before the vote.

So our business that's
being banned for being dirty

won't be banned because
it's too dirty to ban?

- That's your argument?
- [Lana] It would appear that it is.

I have to make some calls.
Totally unrelated.

Look, this isn't going to
happen because it can't happen,

- so let's just stop talking about it!
- Right, sort of.

But let's just be
professionals here.

And speaking of the opposite
of that, where is Archer?

[Archer]
[yawns] He's here.

Waiting patiently.
And professionally.

Well, those two are
definitely professionals.

- You said it was an escort mission.
- [Lana] Uh, no one said that.

The mission is simple.
Oh, God, are they breathing?

We did go pretty hard
last night.

Anyone bring any of those, uh,
what, uh, oh, nose mirrors?

What sensitivity you need?

- You travel with those?
- Uh, you don't?

Voicemail!
I know you're there, Catherine!

Pick up, you sniveling strumpet!

[woman yawns, coughs]

Oh, there they go.

All right, everybody,
let's go have a great mission!

Oh, uh, wait, what's the mission?

Also, what country is this?

[main title theme]

♪ ♪

So now that we've got the
distractions out of the way...

They weren't distractions, Lana.

They were people with real hopes

and real dreams
and real fake names.

- Which were?
- Like I've got the brain space for that.

Got the brain space for
what country you're in?

Barbados.
No, wait. Bahrain.

I... I know it's got a bar in it.

So in Rio de Janeiro...

Ha! It was the bra
I was thinking of in Brazil.

Come on, let's go.
Time is of the essence. Probably.

The Chinese m*llitary developed
a high-tech bunker buster,

and the US government
wants a look at it.

But they can't be seen
to be involved.

Isn't that a great argument
for us continuing to exist?

- Not if you're the Chinese.
- So some Chinese gangsters

went rogue and stole it,
and then immediately panicked.

We're not sure who the buyer is,

but to narrow it down,
just make a list

of every t*rror1st
organization in the world.

I'm definitely not doing that.

They chose Brazil for the handoff
because this time of year, it is...

[crowds cheering]
...a bit distracting.

[laughter]
[lively music playing]

I think you mean awesome, Lana.

The pageantry, the history,
the popo zau... right?

Yeah, I wouldn't worry
about distractions.

He seems pretty dialed in.

So the handoff is happening
at a black market warehouse

here, owned by
Brazilian gangsters.

You intercept the b*mb and
drive it to the helipad here.

Infiltrate, extract, transport.
Got it.

Now in regards
to intelligence on this one,

do you know if any of
these gangsters are hiring?

And that's goodbye.

[sighs]

- Hello.
- Hi.

- Yeah, hi.
- Also hi.

You think you might want
to address the troops?

I think you sent an
intense email by accident.

[jazzy music]

So I understand that this is
a shock, but you are not fired.

This is a hiatus.

And we will be back in
business when the smoke clears.

Don't mind me. Just collecting
rage pheromones for nothing.

Thank you all for your hard work.

Each and every one of you is truly...
[sighs] valued.

Hey, Kirk, wait!
You forgot your... [gags]

Literal bag of sh*t.

[lively music playing]
[Pam] Seems a bit harsh.

[Archer]
That's what these guys are.

That pangolin is clearly dehydrated.
Wait. Oh, my God.

- [Ray] Is it the b*mb?
- What b*mb?

Oh, right. No.

It's a case of
Glengoolie Green whiskey.

- Is that the most important thing?
- Seriously?

They only made, like,


Oh, yeah, I also see the b*mb.

Uh, it looks like
the buyer hasn't shown yet.

It's just the Chinese
and the Brazilians.

So here's the plan.
I'm gonna go open some crates

to see if they have anymore
Glengoolie Green.

And then?

- [Archer] Well, that depends.
- On what?

- [Archer] On whether I find it.
- [Krieger] Wait, that's the plan?

- Do nothing and hope it works out?
- Well, what else can we do?

Unless someone with
lots of money...

so much that they don't
have any use for it...

- [chuckles] could hire us.
- Who would even do that?

Like, do you guys have
any real skills?

- I'm an accountant!
- I know all the science.

I said real skills.

I guess it's not as useful
as glue-sniffing tolerance.

- Though I am willing to learn.
- Me too!

[Barry] So I hate to interrupt
your planned addiction here, but...

- [gasps] Demon fridge!
- Whoa, easy. It's Barry.

Yeah, and I'm not sure
the answer to the question,

"How do I hurt refrigerator?"
is Kn*fe.

I've been here for weeks.

Or you just got here, and
you're messing with our memories.

Who even am I?

So where's my freaking body, Krieger?

You shoved me in this fridge,
and you said it was temporary.

Hey, I was almost done
with the prototype for you.

But then I ran into
a scientific roadblock.

[Barry] Which was?

I got bored.
[ice machine rattles]

- Ah! My microscope eye.
- So first of all,

everything is totally fine and normal.

But just in case, we need
to clean this place out

so we can get our deposit back.

And if we get our deposit back,
I will split it with you.

- And if you find anything cool, you can sell it.
- One question.

[sly music]

- What have I done to deserve this?
- [Barry] Oh, I don't know.

Pushed all your mistakes
down this elevator shaft?

So ballpark,

how many bodies do you think
we pushed down here?

- Uh, I did two or three.
- Two or three bodies. Not so bad.

[laughing] Oh, no,
two or three ballparks.

[Ray]
So now can we get the b*mb?

Not until I tell everyone how
I just found the coolest thing.

- So do it.
- I just did.

And now, you don't get
to know what it is.

- [speaking Portuguese]
- [Ray] Hang on.

- Something's happening.
- sh*t. Buyer still hasn't shown up,

and there's no translator.

Wait.
Archer, you speak Portuguese.

- [Archer] Claro.
- And I speak a little Chinese.

Great, so you go down there and
explain that you're the buyers,

they give us the b*mb,
and we get out of here.

- Yes, Pam.
- It's kind of genius.

[Archer] Hmm, seems complicated.

What if I just solved
everything myself

while you guys stare at me
in quiet awe,

- proving that I don't need anyone?
- And how are you gonna do that?

I'm going to introduce
them to my friend,

Mr. Basic Acoustics.

[g*ns clicking]

And Mr. Basic Acoustics'
first name is...

Uh...
[sighs]

Ugh, forget it.

[g*nsh*t echoes]

[g*nf*re]

[shouts]

[gangsters grunting]

[dramatic music]

Death By!
His first name is Death By.

I nailed it.
Death by basic acoustics, right?

[chuckles] Come on.
Guys?

[sighs]
Should have waited.

All right, stay focused.

I see a gap in the line.
Ready?

And, now!

[lively music playing]

Why isn't every day Carnival?

- Um, because society would collapse?
- Totally worth it.

You know,
if this is our last mission,

- not a bad way to go out.
- Stop saying that.

Everything's gonna be fine,

so shut up and let me focus
on how great my ass looks.

Well, counterpoint,
maybe you suck.

- Maybe I will.
- [Barry] What?

I've lost the thread
on this argument.

You pointed out that
Cheryl wasn't helping,

despite the fact that
you aren't helping either.

Hey, I gave you that water,
and just so you know,

when I do that,
it feels like I'm peeing.

- Dude.
- Fascinating.

So your physical sensations are
mapped onto the refrigerator.

Kind of, yeah. Is that gonna
help you put me back into my body?

Not yet, but in the future,

maybe we'll all be trapped
in refrigerators,

so you won't feel as bad.
[ice machine rattles]

Gah, my non-microscope eye!

- What the...
- [gasps] It's Milton.

[printer whirring]

[printer crackling, fizzing]

[Barry] Well, at least
that's not depressing.

Isn't there, like,
another elevator shaft

- we could push this trash down?
- Oh, I hate this job.

I hate losing this job.
Stupid elevator shaft!

Good God, you guys
complain so much.

Just look around
for some garbage to sell

so you can buy that rent thing
you're always whining about.

Do you not know what rent is?

I want to say a kind of poor
people food, like kibble?

[lively music playing]

[Archer] Mmm. This is...
and I don't say this lightly...

- concentrated liquid orgasm.
- Ugh, gross.

[sighs]
But you're absolutely right.

[fireworks popping]

So what are y'all gonna do
when this is over?

- Oh, come on!
- Stop.

[phone trills]
We've got intelligence that

the Chinese are staking out
all major helipads.

You're going to have to
turn off the parade route.

- [Zara] Oh, no!
- [Archer] Aww, come on!

- [Ray] Boo!
- [Lana] Yeah, real sorry

you gotta do a mission
during the mission.

Well, at least you apologized.

I found you a clearing
you can use up in the hills.

- I'll send coordinates.
- So hear me out.

What if we just stayed
on the parade route

and sold the b*mb to the Chinese?

[Lana] I don't know.
They'd probably k*ll you

and maybe start World w*r III.

What are we thinking?
Worth a sh*t?

[Lana groans]

[button beeps]
Idiots!

Aw, how can I complain
about idiots

without any idiots to complain to?

- But what does it mean?
- What does what mean?

Oh, uh, just our newfound
closeness as a team.

We also found some keys.

- Really, Cheryl?
- What?

You know I'm not good with
nonverbal communication.

[Barry] Just incidentally,

what kind of communication
are you good with?

- What?
- [Barry] OK.

So?

Anyone recognize these?

New task. Figure out
what these keys go to.

Search everywhere. Maybe
it's something we can sell.

- [Barry clears throat]
- Did you just clear a throat

you do not have?

[Barry] Uh, I want to help.

Uh, I hate to break this to you,
but you are a refrigerator.

I am aware!

And I've been shoved in
that break room for months,

trying to start conversations
with people

who are shoving things into
what feels like my rib cage

and basically ignoring me.

I saved all of your lives
from Other Barry,

so will you please just
give me a g*dd*mn hand?

Sorry, have we established
where this weird fridge

came from
and why it talks like this?

- [Barry] Yes!
- Several times.

- Repeatedly.
- But you're, like, kind of a pain to haul around.

And we only brought you down
here because you begged us.

We solved this last time.
Just take my circuits out.

- Oh, right.
- Duh.

Just put me on something
light with wheels.

Yeah, not what I had in mind.

[lively music playing]
[car horn honking]

[Zara] And what did
you have in mind?

Not this.
[car thunks]

- [grunts] Pam, what's going on?
- [Pam] It's not me.

Jesus Christ,
what's the problem?

- Uh, Jesus Christ?
- [Archer] Oh, right.

Uh, not to be sacrilegious here,
but did anyone bring a chainsaw?

Is it me, or did the g*n
library used to have more g*ns?

- It's called an armory.
- Ugh, fine.

Didn't the g*n library
used to have more armory?

Ooh, look, Cheryl, a clipboard.
It goes snap, snap.

I know what you're doing.
I'm...

[laughs] Not... oh!
An idiot.

[laughing]
Who can't...

[giggling]

So you've been
selling the g*ns, huh?

Jeezy Petes, so are we really
in that bad of shape?

Even if the UN doesn't ban us,
we might still go under?

- You're the accountant.
- And I'm starting to suspect

the numbers you're giving me
aren't real.

Oh, really?
You don't think that the bribes

and the hush money and the
payoffs from third world oligarchs

- was recorded accurately?
- Well, I...

oh, uh, yes?

If you knew the amount
of lying and cheating

and moral compromise
being the boss requires,

you would all never stop
giving me cunnilingus.

Well, if the offer is on the table...

Oh, no.
I dated you, remember?

And even that big ass hog of yours

didn't make up for your mouth
in more ways than one.

You would apologize
to the b*llet that k*lled you.

Well, I'm sorry for being polite.

Oh, you just did it again!
Jesus Christ!

Hit the gas, Pam.
[branches snapping]

You know, if we use
the principle of leverage...

Then we'll be here
all damn day.

Floor it, Pam!

[engine revving]
[grunts]

[cries out]
[glass shatters]

Ow.

Told you it would work.

[Lana] Oh, I told myself
it would work.

And then I clawed and I scraped

while you all
whined and complained,

until when I finally closed
my tired eyes to sleep,

all I could see were
your sour, crumpled faces.

Uh, for the record, I wasn't
really around for any of that.

Shut your g*dd*mn
nonexistent mouth!

I would say that we should
have sold you for parts,

but you know what?
I'm glad we saved you

because you finally
achieved your proper form,

because now, you both literally
and figuratively suck!

- Lana.
- What?!

There's writing
on Mr. Snappy that looks

a lot like
the writing on the keys.

Great, now we just need
to find Tom Sawyer.

Anyone got the number
to Mark Twain's cemetery?

Tom Sawyer? That's funny.

It's also the name of a Rush song.

Oh, you don't know that one?
It's the best.

It goes... um, uh...

I don't know how it goes.

[gasps]
I don't know how it goes.

Oh, my God,
I don't know how it goes!

[helicopter blades whirring]

- This is really it, huh?
- Yep.

- Then it's back to Carnival.
- Oh, seriously?

Everything will be fine.
It always is for me.

- I don't need anyone.
- This really how you want to go out?

- Uh-huh.
- But it's us.

There's nothing to discuss.

How could I forget that?
Something's wrong.

Hey, it's OK. It's OK.

Unrelated, has anything weird
been happening?

Like, more weird than
everything else about you.

You know,
now that you mention it,

these weird scars keep
showing up on my skull.

- [all gasp]
- Huh.

[Barry]
So we're just gonna...

Search his lab immediately?
Yes.

Hello!
You absolute turds.

[Archer] Slater?
You are the bag man?

I thought it was appropriate
that your last mission

before vanishing into
the dustbin of history

would be polishing
my glorious balls.

Dude, I don't want to
be picturing your balls.

I won't be able to sleep tonight.

Seriously?
You're still in the CIA

after your catastrophic
f*ck up in Manatina?

Ha! Catastrophic?
For the CIA?

They gave me
a commendation for that.

So we don't like this guy.
Is that our vibe here?

Keep it down, Glarey Poppins.
Act like your government.

Stand behind the Americans and nod
while your influence steadily wanes.

Look, I'm gonna need
some kind of confirmation

that this is official CIA business.

Oh, sure.
Just, uh, hang on for a sec.

[imitates phone beeping]
Hello, CIA?

That Chinese w*apon you're
stealing, are you stealing it?

- Thanks.
- You don't do the phone bit.

I do the phone bits.

You know what?
That's a great point.

And yet another example of me
doing everything you do, but better.

- And, hey, Pam, my balls.
- [Pam] g*dd*mn it!

I just stopped thinking about them.

- This feels very wrong.
- Glarey Poppins?!

I'll give him a spoonful of sh*t.
I will, I will. [line beeps]

[phone ringing]
[Archer] Problem, Lana.

We're kind of busy here, OK?
So...

Slater came to pick up the b*mb.

- What? That bitch?
- [Archer] Right?

Can you confirm he's in the CIA?

Well, my only contact
was whoever hired us.

And if they were pretending, I...

Well, guess I'll just solve it
myself then, like always.

All right, guys, we have no way of
knowing if he's on the level or not,

so my thought is we just
stop worrying about it

- and go look at some popo zau.
- Oh, my God, yes.

Yes, I know I can't get
my job back at Interpol,

but I need to know
if someone named Slater

is still affiliated with the CIA.

I guess it's a mononym?

- Right. Thanks. [line beeps]
- Yeah, that sounded, uh...

- Like we just got f*cked?
- Royally.

Slater was officially disavowed
by the CIA last month.

But they didn't share that with
independent spy organizations

because we're all about to not exist.

I really wish you hadn't
told me that

because now,
I have to destroy Slater.

No way I'm going out like that
on my last mission.

A-ha! So you admit
it's your last mission.

Hey, no gloating during
rage-induced breakthroughs.

What are you looking for now?

[knocking]

[hollow thudding]
[door clanks]

Remember when I told you

I found something cool
at the warehouse?

I have no memory of this door.

[door creaking]

Oh, my God, it's beautiful!

[jetpack whooshes]

You have no idea
how to use that thing.

I have no idea how to do
most of the stuff I do.

- [Pam] Are you sure you can catch up?
- Just give it a second.

Think about Slater.
It's not enough for him to win.

[dramatic music]

I gotta tell him.

Hey, dummy,
bring me back around.

This is nuts.

[mic screeches] [Slater] Just
so you know, I'm not CIA anymore.

Jetpa... ahh!

- Speaking of nuts.
- God, watch the propeller!

Watch the human sashimi maker?
Got it!

[both grunting]

[yelling]

Ah!

[strained] A little help?

How?
I can't see what's happening.

Uh, Ray, get the
reflection out of my eye.

I can't see.
Wait a second.

Pam, your mirrors!

[grunts]

[growls]

[flesh squelching]
[groans]

[alarm beeping]

[grunts]

[cackles]

[shouts]

[Archer screaming]

Ugh. Oh!

[camera shutter clicking]

- Oh, my God, he did it.
- Yeah, but, uh...

[passerby exclaims]

[person] Cuidado, cuidado!

- Jesus.
- Well, it's not like

it's the worst thing
that ever happened to him.

[groans]

- [laughs] I win again!
- You should have let it go.

Let it go and miss this?

Me, Sterling Archer,
b*ating you yet again?

I'm so glad I didn't let it go.

This is the best moment
of my life!

- Why would I let it go?
- Why? [chuckles]

You're about to find out why.

[dramatic music]

♪ ♪

[electricity crackling]

- Katya?
- Sterling, my darling.

- I ache to see you.
- Well, I'm aching too, Katya.

And I... I have to ask
before we do

what I think we're about to do.
Does it still vibrate?

That is not the ache I mean.
I ache because I must do this.

[g*nsh*t]
[cries out]

[grunts]

And, yes, it still vibrates.

[person off screen]
Sterling Archer.

- Code name: Duchess...
- No one calls me that.

Known from Berlin
to Bangkok as the man

who used to be the world's
most dangerous spy.

Used to be?
Take off these chains,

and that potato
on top of your neck

is gonna used to be a face.

Whoa, buddy.
No need for that stuff.

- We all got job to do.
- And you're terrible at yours.

These nipple clamps
are super pinch-y.

Very unprofessional.

Is that really your
big problem right now?

Yes, because I care
about the craft.

Yeah, the goth teen witch movie.

- No.
- OK, so anything to say

before I give you zip-zap?

- What, with that golf cart battery?
- Go-kart.

And that's not for you.
My go-kart need repair.

That's a big battery.

Ah, fun fact: they use this
to jump-start trains.

That's the least fun fact
I've ever heard.

I don't know if I've said it, but, uh,

it really is good
to see you again.

Look, I get it. It's super
fun to trot out the battery

that supposedly
jump-starts trains.

- And airplanes.
- But we all know that if you

attach that to a human,
he would instantly die,

rendering it useless as an
interrogation tool, ergo you're bluff...

[electricity crackling]
[gibbering]

I'm sorry.
I interrupted you.

- [groans]
- Problem?

Yeah, I just didn't think burning
nipples would smell like that.

Well, maybe the smell
changes as we go.

- What?
- Hit him again.

[electricity crackling]
[gibbering]

[door squeaks open]

[grunts]
[door slams]

So maybe I'm unclear on
the order of operations here,

but did you have any questions?

I just wanted you to know
that I'm serious.

You know, Slater,
a sternly worded letter

- could do wonders.
- Rest up, Archer.

I'd hate for you to die
when I do that again.

[groans] I'd hate
both parts of that.

Love to hear it.

[grunts]
Get up, you wimp.

[grunts, exhales heavily]

OK.
Take inventory of the room.

Find the tools. Improvise.

I think one of those clamps
melted and fused into my nipple.

But don't worry about that.

And don't worry
about talking to yourself.

That's not a symptom
of a brain injury,

though you might not
remember if it is.

Sterling, my darling,
what did they do to you?

I quiver with sympathy.

Do... don't say "quiver"
in that sexy voice.

If my nipples get hard, uh,
I might die.

I am so sorry.
It is just that seeing you like this...

[sobs]
I did not know I could cry.

- My cheeks are wet.
- I'm gonna pass out now.

[thuds]

So... what are we doing?

Wait, wasn't there
some kind of UN thingy?

- How's that going?
- This is the best moment of my life.

[people murmuring angrily]

I said, how's that going?

Wait, am I invisible?
What's the sound version of that?

In... visible.
No, I just said that.

Look, I am working my network.

- [gasps] I am invisible.
- If only.

The UN vote on banning
private spy agencies

is in two days, but that's
more than enough time to...

Not what we're talking about.
And it's going to be fine.

- We've just got to find Archer.
- Look, I've got feelers out.

Just like those
brine shrimp cats I made.

- Or didn't.
- Krieger, did you figure out

what that weird thing
we found was?

[humming]

No, but I have determined
that it's creepy

- and possibly gross.
- So we've got, like, zero chance

of finding Archer here, right,
or the b*mb?

- Yeah, probably.
- Yeah, that sounds right.

- Did I hear the word "b*mb"?
- Hey! No! Just no!

- Yeah, but why no?
- Or how no?

I don't know.
But we are not gonna sit here

and stew in our failure juice.

There's a loose bunker buster
out there.

Do we know who has it?
No.

Do we know where Archer is
or even if he's alive? No.

Are we getting some
pretty awkward inquiries

about our activities in Brazil?
Yes.

See how she just slid
the bad news in there?

Like a greased toboggan.

The rest of our lives
may be doomed and empty,

but, by God, we are going
to live the f*ck

out of these last few days
of doing what we are best at,

what we were put
on this Earth to do.

Krieger, figure out that orb.
Barry, help him.

You are made of computer
or whatever.

The rest of you, get me some
plausible bunker buster targets.

Someone wants to use it
for some evil sh*t,

and we are gonna
stop that evil sh*t

because that is what we do!

Sploosh.

[door squeaks open]
I'm sorry.

Slater said he wouldn't t*rture you.

Well, I appreciate that.
It was incredibly painful,

especially after someone sh*t me!

Oh, Sterling, you're delirious.
That was me.

[chuckles] You guys have a


What is this place?
Other than a KGB black site.

Abandoned KGB black site.

We've gathered allies
from every

secret intelligence service
in the world.

Retired, mostly.

Oh, no.

We're not here
to destroy the world.

We're here to save it.

And you, my Sterling,
are going to help us.

[Barry] And how exactly
does this help?

Well, first, I'm gonna
get you hooked up here.

Oh, this isn't an improvement.

Huh, must be some residual
programming in there.

Yeah, there's definitely some
residue in here, I would say.

So I created a buffer
between you and the device

so you can observe
the sphere's programming

without contamination,
which will manifest

as these kickass cyberpunk goggles.

You'll be goggled in with the
wireheads for sure, choomba.

And these will protect me?

- I don't know.
- What does that mean?

What do you want from me?

Science isn't an exact science.

- Oh, my God.
- There is no God here.

Anyhoo...

Ohhhhhh.

You're trying to bring back
the Cold w*r?

[Katya chuckles]
No, of course not.

- But... yes.
- Yeah, I get it.

I mean, who doesn't love
the constant looming thr*at

of nuclear annihilation?

Look at the world
that we live in.

All these piddling
minor conflicts.

All this peace
and money and... phones.

So things were better
when they were worse?

Exactly. This is becoming
a world without purpose,

without meaning,
and without Sterling Archer.

The U.S. government
will be voting yes

on the proposal
to ban private spy agencies.

We urge the world to join us.

And in the words of my people,
how 'bout them Cowboys?

Uh, there probably
won't even be more w*r.

It'll be a staring contest.

But the conflict will energize us

and make us strong
and give us meaning.

In a frictionless universe,
nothing happens.

And you, uh... who even
are you in that world?

That's ridiculous. I, uh...
do not have a counterargument.

But what does that
have to do with torturing me?

Slater and I,
we have, uh, mm,

differences of opinion
sometimes. [chuckles]

Sterling, it might not be now,

One world includes you,
