02x21 - Chuck Versus the Colonel

Post by bunniefuu »

Chuck: I'm Chuck.

Here are some things that you might need to know, or maybe you just forgot.


Steve: I'm not who you think I am.

Chuck: You're Orion.

My father invented the Intersect.

Roark: No hug for your old partner?

I'm been looking for you for a long time.

Put him on the helicopter, and k*ll his son.

Jill: I overheard them say that they're moving your father to Black Rock.

Chuck: Black Rock is a code name for a secret Fulcrum base in Barstow.

Beckman: I'm shutting down this project. Chuck's going into lockdown.

Casey: Operation "Moron" is over.

Sarah: They're gonna take you underground.

We have to run. Your dad is still out there.

Chuck; You're committing treason. You could go to jail.

Sarah: I know.

Chuck: According to the coordinates, this should be Black Rock.

It doesn't exactly look like a Fulcrum compound now, does it?

Sarah: Maybe your flash was wrong.

Chuck: No, they had to have just moved my father.

These beer are fresh. There's still ash on the cigarette.

Sarah: Could have been kids having a party.

Chuck: Great.

We've got to go back and start all over again.

Sarah: Chuck, we're AWOL. It's why we ditched the car.

If Casey finds us, I go to jail, you go to a padded cell with 24-hour surveillance.

There is no going back.

Steve: Don't give up, Charles.

Roark: Cute couple.

Steve: If anything happens to them...

Roark: What are you going to do?

You going to k*ll me? You going to b*at me to a pulp?

I'm sure you can come up with something more creative.

Steve: No, you... you had it right. I'll k*ll you!

Roark: Forgot about that. I'm sorry. I'll tell you what.

As long as the new Intersect is operational by tomorrow night, your son will be fine.

Steve: Hold on.

There's still a ton of diagnostics to run, simulations...

I can't guarantee I can finish it by then.

Roark: Well then, I can't guarantee your son's safety.

Beckman: The safety of the Intersect is no longer my main concern.

I want you to hunt Agent Walker and the Asset down.

Bring them back. Dead or alive.


Casey: Understood, General.

Beckman: Once the Intersect is in our possession, this mission will be over and you will have your pick of assignments.

Your country thanks you...

Colonel Casey.

Congratulations.

You've earned it.


Casey: Got it.

Devon: What are you doing here, bro?

Casey: Chuck hasn't been showing up.

I was looking for some clues where he might be.

Ellie; Chuck, I just heard from him.

Casey: Really? He just called?

Ellie; He left a voice mail not 5 minutes ago. Our wedding is this weekend and he decided to go out of town.

Casey; Good. Glad to hear... hear he's safe.

Sorry, nervous Nellie, I guess.

Have a nice day!

Devon: Babe, we've got to get a lock for that window.

Casey: I need emergency satellite tracking on an unregistered line that dialed the following number 5 minutes ago.

Chuck: As you can see... just the one bed.

A little presumptuous, I guess. Should I have asked for separate rooms?

Sarah: No. It's fine.

As long as we're on the lam, I can't let you out of my sight.

I'm going to take a shower.

Chuck: I'm going to assume that that whole out of sight thing doesn't really apply now.

Right.

Vincent: I'm at the motel a mile south of the base.

They just checked in. You want me to k*ll them?

Roark: Vincent, I may need them for leverage.

When the tests are complete, feel free to use whatever despicable acts of v*olence are in your nature.

You could eat them if you want.

Chuck; I'll sleep on the floor.

Sarah: No, it's okay.

Chuck; Why are you doing this?

Sarah: Because the floor is gross, and I'm not going to make you sleep on it.

Chuck; No, why are you here, risking everything that you worked so hard for?

Sarah: Because, after everything that you've done for this country, you deserve to find your father, to get the Intersect out of your head and to have a chance at a normal life.

Chuck; Thank you.

Sarah: You don't have to thank me.

It's my job to protect you.

Chuck: What about when it's not your job?

What happens to us then?

Sarah: One mission at a time, Chuck.

Telecom tracking complete. Location verified.

Casey: Gotcha.

The Yvonne's Team presents: Season 2 - Episode 21 Chuck Versus the Colonel

Emmett; Friends?

I wish people in our line of work could afford friends.

That's just one of the sacrifices of upper management.

Morgan: Big Mike is my friend, and I never would have betrayed him if you hadn't tricked me.

Emmett: Really?

Do all your friends give your mother urinary tract infections?

Listen, Grimes. I am offering you a cup... up the corporate ladder.

Morgan; Dude...

Emmett: Now...

I need a new assistant manager.

Will you be my Ass Man?

Morgan: Are you kidding me?

No. Never.

And as far as friends go, I have Chuck, that's all I need.

Chuck: Don't move.

Don't breathe.

Just stay there. Stay. Stay.

I'm going to k*ll you, Morgan.

Jeff:,Dead man walking.

Lester: What do you want?

Morgan; I want to speak to Michael.

I want to clear the air.

Big Mike: Come closer.

Morgan: Mike, I know that this... this whole thing is my fault.

I never knew Emmett was trying to take over the store.

Truth is, I just wanted you to stop dating my mother.

Lester: You should be so lucky that a man of his stature would defile your mother.

Sorry.

Big mike: Never take sides against the family again.

Morgan; Understood.

What can I do to make it right? I'll do anything... stepfather.

Emmett: Michael, there's a mess that needs cleaning in bathroom stall 3.

Morgan: No, let me do it.

I'll handle this.

Big Mike: We all have to clean up our own messes in this world, son.

Emmett: This can stop anytime you want.

All you have to do is accept my offer.

Chuck; Don't move. I'm going to be right back.

I have very sensitive sinuses.

Casey: 9 millimeters of hot lead should clear that right out.

You really think you could run away from me? Let's go.

Chuck; What?

Sarah had nothing to do with this. What's going to happen to her?

Vincent: Sir, we have an issue.

Chuck: I told her not to move.

Sarah: Chuck, let's go.

Chuck: Sorry, Casey.

Casey; God.

Chuck: Fulcrum is here. We can't leave Casey.

They're going to t*rture him.

Sarah: If we go back he's going to arrest us.

Chuck: Yes, I know. But we can't leave him.

Sarah: Okay, fine.

One condition: you stay in the car.

Chuck: Deal.

Casey: Going somewhere?

Chuck: We came back here for you because Fulcrum's here.

Casey: Then we better get out of here.

Chuck: I'm not leaving without Sarah.

Casey: You drive or I end you.

Chuck: End me? How're you going to do that?

You don’t have a g*n.

Casey: You don't think I could k*ll you with my thumb or my elbow?

Nerd bludgeoned by radiator?

Chuck: You can't k*ll me with that radiator.

It is far too confined here for you to get the appropriate torque.

Casey; I could strangle you with the handcuff chain.

Chuck: You could maybe do that.

Casey: Too late.

They got her. Let's go.

Chuck: I told you.

I'm not leaving without Sarah.

Casey: Stay down!

Drop it!

Sarah: Can't do that, John.

Chuck; Guys!

Let's just take a b*at here. Remember, we are a team.

Sarah, Casey: Stay in the car!

Chuck: Technically, I still have one foot in the car.

Casey: How far you think you're going to get?

Sarah: Until we rescue Chuck's dad.

Casey: You're out of a*mo.

It's over.

On the ground.

Steve; You two mind taking that outside?

We're in a b*mb shelter.

Chuck: I'm sorry, Sarah.

Sarah; You didn't do anything wrong, Chuck.

You trusted somebody who you thought cared about you.

Steve: Look outside, Chuck.

Look out the window.

"Tron. "

Chuck; "Tron"! Did you see that? My father signaled me!

Sarah: Did you just flash?

Chuck; Come on. A midnight screening of Tron? My father had to have written that.

Come on. We got to go back there! My father's there!

Casey, please!

Casey: I don't care.

Devon: Something weird is going on.

Have you seen Chuck? He didn't come home last night, Casey came by, said he was worried about him.

Lester; I'm sure. Can't live without his precious Chuck.

Devon: What's that supposed to mean?

Lester: The guy's obsessed with him, a classic perv.

No offense.

Devon: Obsessed how?

Jeff; You want to see something really freaky?

Dude keeps a Chuck diary.

Lester: Bathroom visits... and duration.

Jeff: Keys, duct tape, high-grade chloroform...

From one stalker to another, I'm impressed.

Devon; You guys think this has something to do with Chuck missing?

Lester: I don't care.

Jeff: No clue.

You mind if I... get right?

Chuck: Casey, please!

Beckman: Excellent work.

Casey: Thank you, General.

Beckman: A CIA team is on their way to take Agent Walker and the Asset back to Langley.


Chuck: What about my father?

Sarah: Chuck received a signal from him.

He believes there may be a mission tonight.

Beckman: We'll look into it, Ms. Walker.

In the meantime, enjoy your last few moments in Burbank, Colonel Casey.


Chuck: Now I get it.

Now I understand why you would betray your own team.

Casey: I would never betray my team!

You went AWOL.

You betrayed me.

Don't you ever forget that.

Chuck: So sorry, Colonel.

But congratulations on that chicken franchise you always wanted.

Casey: Keep talking...

Sarah: Stay on Beckman.

It might be too late by midnight.

Just make sure we don't give up on Chuck's father.

Casey: If your dad's there... we'll keep him safe. You have my word.

Devon: It's your neighbour, Devon Woodcomb. Door was unlocked.

This is creepy.

Is that Chuck's bedroom?

Freakburger...

Casey: I hate this whole family.

Emmett; Boss Man calling Ass Man.

Radio check. The new automated checkout registers have arrived, if you could please have Mike unload them.


Morgan: Hold on a second. You said that if I agreed...

Emmett: Into the headset.

Morgan: You said that if I agreed to be your Ass Man, you wouldn't make Mike do any more humiliating jobs.

And you wouldn't fire him.

Emmett: Get it done.


Jeff: Good luck using automated checkout machines with no power.

Lester: Where'd you get that?

Jeff: Casey's locker.

Morgan's really turned into Emmett's stooge.

This will show them who's really in charge.

We did it.

Lester: That way! Go!

Chuck: For whatever it's worth... if I have to spend the rest of my days in a dark, windowless room, I can't think of a better person to spend it with.

Sarah: That's not really how this works.

Chuck: We can't request a cozy little two-bed, two-bath cell?

Sarah; Two-bed?

Electrical interruption. Auxiliary power activated.

Sarah: Quick, before the power turns back on.

Chuck: Is that Awesome?

Emmett: Ass Man!

We are under siege!

sh**t to k*ll!

Morgan: Well... Hey, there, Emmett.

It is a good thing I installed those emergency generators.

Emmett: I underestimate you.

Jeff: That was awesome!

Emmett: Fire them.

Move! Move!

Emmett; I saw you on the security cam!

Stay calm.

Devon: How're you doing?

Casey: What are you doing here?

Devon: We need to talk.

I get it, dude. You know, there was a time in my life that I didn't have a lot going on either.

Dead-end job, no girl...

Casey; Really?

Devon: Well, no, John.

But this is not the answer. Okay?

You need help, bro. You need serious psychiatric help.

What are you doing, man? ! Put the g*n away, dude!

Take another step and I will drop you.

Casey: Not bad for a frat boy.

Sarah: Don't you move.

Devon: What the... ? !

Sarah? Chuck?

What the hell is going on here?

Chuck: Don't freak out.

Devon: This is crazy. We've got to call the police.

Chuck: We can't do that. Here, drink this.

Devon: He tried to k*ll me!

Why can't we call the cops?

Chuck: Because I am the cops.

Casey: Moron.

Chuck: I am a high-level CIA asset and these are my handlers.

For the past 2 years, they've had to protect my every move.

Sarah: Chuck! No!

Chuck: He can handle it.

You can handle this, right? Tell me you can handle this.

Devon: You're being serious?

He's being serious?

Chuck: I need you to help me.

I need you to be cool about this.

I need you to cover for me with Ellie.

I need you... to be Awesome.

Can you be Awesome?

Devon: You're a spy, Chuck?

Chuck: Yeah, more or less, yeah.

Devon; This is...

Awesome!

I knew you weren't a loser who worked at the Buy More.

Chuck: "Loser's" a little... that's a little harsh.

Here's the thing... the Buy More actually is real.

But here's the most important thing. I need you to do this for me right now.

I need you to go home and handle Ellie.

That is your mission.

Can you do that?

Devon: I got your back, bro.

Right, right.

A spy!

Chuck: Keep that on the D. L.

Casey; Impersonating a m*llitary official's a federal offense, numbnuts.

Chuck; Put it on the list.

Casey: Don't you leave me here

Sarah: We got to go.

Casey: You walk out that door, you're a dead man.

Chuck: I don't care.

Casey: You will care.
Jeff: I smell bacon.

Anyone else smell pig?

Lester: I seem to detect the faint odor of the forbidden meat.

Morgan: Knock it off. Listen to me.

You need to apologize to Emmett for blowing the power, otherwise he's going to can you.

Jeff: Nice try.

Get us to apologize so we look like asses.

Lose all our street cred.

Lester: You're going to have to accept 1 concept.

Morgan: What's that?

Lester: No one on this planet is as dumb as you are.

Morgan: I'm trying to help you guys.

Lester: Are you?

Anna: Why are you taking all this crap from everyone?

Morgan: What choice do I have?

Emmett is trying to fire the entire store, I am the glue that holds it.

Anna: Why do you care if this store holds together?

Morgan: What do you mean?

Anna: I mean, don't you have some goal in this world outside the store?

Even Jeff and Lester have their ridiculous band.

Don't you have a dream?

Morgan: Of course, I do. It's just...

Anna: What?

Morgan: It's crazy and you'll laugh at me.

Anna: I promise, I won't laugh.

Morgan: Promise?

I'd like to be a Benihana chef... in Hawaii.

I know. It's stupid.

Anna; It's not stupid.

It's totally attainable.

Morgan: No, it's not Anna

You have to train for, like, years, okay?

I'm way past my prime, I am not Asian and I don't even know where to get the knives.

Emmett; Ass Man, I need you.

Morgan: Ass Man on his way.

Beckman: We ran a thermal satellite scan of the coordinates, and activity was present.

It seems Fulcrum has moved their operation underground.


Casey: was right. We sending in a team to rescue his father?

Beckman: We don't have time for that. I've ordered F-16s to annihilate the site.

Casey: But I gave my word.

Beckman: I have not come to this decision lightly.

We have no other choice.


Devon; Chuck's a spy.

Stay cool.

Ellie; There you are.

Did you learn anything about Chuck at the Buy More?

He's supposed to pick up your parents at the airport.

Honey? Why are you just looking at me like that?

It's a really simple question. Have you talked to Chuck?

Devon; Yeah, I mean No

He's fine, yeah.

Ellie: So you spoke to him?

Devon; Definitely not.

Ellie: Someone else spoke to him? Sarah?

Devon: Who?

Ellie: Honey.

I need you to focus, okay? No wedding day jitters!

We've got company coming any moment, my father and my brother are MIA, so I just need you to pull it together.

Can you be Awesome for me?

Good.

You focus! Focus! I need your A game.

Chuck: No g*n for me?

Sarah: No. You get to stay in the car.

Chuck: The whole stay in the car bit? Aren't we past this?

I think I'm perfectly capable of handling myself on a mission.

Casey: You were saying Agent Imbecile?

Sarah: Drop it.

Casey: You drop it.

Chuck; No! I've come this far. If he stop me, he'll have to k*ll me.

Casey: Beckman called an air strike. It'll be here in 20 min.

Chuck: What? Casey, my father is here! You said you would rescue him.

You gave me your word.

I thought that would have meant something. I guess I have a lot to learn.

Casey: Yeah, you do.

You made three crucial mistakes.

You don't realize you were being trailed for last half hour, you didn't bring nearly enough firepower, and you didn't ask me to join.

Chuck; Would you like to help us rescue my father?

Casey: Your father served the country honourably and deserves to attend his daughter’s wedding.

Sarah: Is that a yes?

Casey: But, he stays in the car.

Sarah: Agreed.

Chuck; Done.

The team's back together again! Group hug!

Casey: One more step, it'll be your last. No hugs

Chuck; In the car I go.

Steve: Aces, Charles. Aces.

Roark; How's my favorite underachieving, reclusive, kidnapped scientist?

Steve: It's done. There's your Intersect.

Roark: You're a dream.

Steve: There is... one request.

Roark; Anything that won't inconvenience me is fine, I don't care.

Steve: Leave my family alone.

Roark: I'm not invited to the wedding?

Steve: How did you know... ?

Roark; I'm in a conglomerate of bad guys.

Few details escape me.

Stevie, this works, you have nothing to worry about. It's a little tart in here.

I'll send down some air freshener.

Chuck; Definitely staying in the car.

Casey; I had no idea Tron was so popular.

Roark: Welcome! I see you all found your way.

Directions were good.

You have all have been carefully selected by Fulcrum to be the next generation of Intersect agents.

More capable than any computer.

More efficient than any spy in history.

Welcome to the future! Can you dig it?

That's not the response I was hoping for.

Can you dig it?

Chuck: My God!

He's using the Intersect to build an army.

Roark; Can you dig it? !

The program will begin in three minutes.

3 minutes.

Steve:,You fellas have a cigar for me?

Agent: I thought you hated smoke

Steve: I figure if I'm gonna die, I might see what all the fuss is about.

Keys.

Casey: Go! There's an air strike headed this way.

Three minutes to target, general. Prepping w*apon systems.

Casey: "Gone to stop Roark. Be back in five. Chuck. "

I'm gonna k*ll him.

Vincent: Don't worry, Agent Casey, we'll take care of that.

Roark; The prodigal son returns.

Thank you for saving me the trouble of hunting you down.

Chuck: My pleasure.

Move it.

Roark: Great, the g*ng's all here.

It's only fair that a son should see the results of his father's labor.

Of course if this doesn't work, I'm afraid I have to go back to that bit where I k*ll everybody.

Chuck; If it does work?

Roark: If it does work, Same result, but, you should root for it.

I mean, nobody likes a cynic.

Let's get right to the countdown, shall we?

Five... four...

Three... I'm excited.

Two...

Chuck: Casey! Sarah! Shut your eyes!

Keep them closed.

Steve: Chuck, look at the screen.

Chuck; No, Dad, I don't want a refresh. I want this nightmare to be over.

Steve: I know, that's why I made this for you. It's all for you.

Trust me, son.

Roark: What a rush! What a rush!

I got to flash.

I got to flash.

I'm not flashing. I'm not flashing! It's not working!

Steve: There must be a glitch. I'll have to take it back to the lab.

Roark: No more labs!

A deal is a deal!

Your son is dead! Get him up.

What's that?

Casey: I've got Chuck. Let's get out of here. Come on!

Sarah: Chuck, are you okay?

Chuck: I feel...

I feel different. Lighter.

Steve: It worked.

Casey: What worked?

Steve: This.

I programmed it to remove the Intersect from Chuck's head.

Chuck: What do you mean "remove"?

Steve: The Intersect is out.

It's over, Chuck.

You're free, son.

Beckman: Colonel Casey, am I to understand that you rescued Mr. Bartowski, recovered the Intersect cube and destroyed Fulcrum's operation base?

Casey: That's correct. -

Beckman: I should be promoting you to general.


Casey: Actually, Walker's the one responsible for the success of the mission.

She pretended to go AWOL.

Used herself and the asset as bait to lure Fulcrum out so we could secure their location.

She risked her life to the integrity of the mission.

If anyone deserves a commendation, it's Walker.

Sarah: Actually, General, I never...

Chuck: Never thought she could be so cold. I mean, I didn't, certainly.

She used me as bait, like Casey just said.

Treated terribly, you know.

She cuffed me, I had chaffing on my wrists.

I was malnourished.

It was... it was... horrific.

Beckman: Well, then, Colonel Casey, now that the "Intersect project" is over, I assume you want to command your old unit?

Chuck: Sorry, I just want to make sure I didn't misinterpret anything.

Did you just say "over"?

Beckman: That's correct. We have the Intersect cube, Fulcrum is defeated, your mission complete.

Mr. Bartowski, you are free to return to...
whatever it is you do.

Chuck: General, I'd... I'd just like to say that although I know we've had our share of ups and downs, this has been an incredible, dare I say, life-changing experience... that you don't feel quite as strongly about. I get it, you busy.

Government... It's a little rude.

Emmett; Why are the Brothers Imbecile still working here?

Morgan: Can we just give them one more chance, please?

Emmett: You know what, Grimes, I'm gonna ask you a very important question.

And I want you to think very long and hard, about it.

Do you want to be a loser the rest of your life?

Morgan: Excellent question.

If you had asked me that this morning, I probably would have said yes.

Now, I'm not so sure.

Emmett: Then do what needs to be done.

Morgan: Yes, sir.

Big Mike, in the old country, if a man did the honorable thing and he fell on his own sword, his family was looked after.

Big mike: That was a good break.

Real nice deal.

Morgan: Will you look after my mother?

Big mike: I will.

Morgan: Gentlemen, it's been a pleasure serving with you.

If you retell the story, do me a favor give me a better physique.

Emmett: What are you doing?

Morgan: Morgan out.

Will you come to Hawaii with me, where I will learn the ancient art of hibachi?

Anna: Morgan, I thought you'd never ask.

This is so great.

Morgan: One second, hold on.

Chuck: A little hot in here, buddy?

Morgan: It's a bit chilly but... worth it.

Chuck: Is everything okay?

Morgan: Yeah. No, dude, actually, for the first time, everything is fine.

It's all over.

Lester; God, I admire him.

You're free, Morgan!

You're free!

Devon: Babe, we are late. We have to go.

Ellie: I can't.

Devon; We have a rehearsal dinner full of people waiting for us.

Ellie: I knew that my dad would disappoint me, but, not Chuck.

I don't know, it must be in the DNA.

Devon: I know it's difficult without Chuck, but he wants to be here, I know he does.

Your dad leaving shook him up pretty bad.

Ellie, he'll be back.

Trust me... he loves you.

So do I.

Ellie: Chuck, where have you been?

Chuck: I was getting your wedding present.

Ellie: Dad...

Are you staying?

Steve: I'm not going anywhere.

Devon; I got your back, bro.

Chuck: I was wondering if you... wanted to come to my sister's rehearsal dinner.

Casey: The Intersect's out, Bartowski.

You don't need my help anymore.

Chuck: I'm not asking you as the asset, I’m asking you as a friend.

Okay, well, I tried.

Casey: Open bar, I hope.

I'll go warm up the Vic.

Chuck: You look amazing.

Sarah; Thank you.

Very dapper.

Chuck; Thank you.

Sarah: So how does it feel?

Chuck; It feels great, actually.

Like everything is finally real.

Sarah: It is real.

Truck driver: Where you headed?

Roark: Got a wedding to go to.
