Hi. I'm Chuck
and here are a few things you might need to know.
My dad must have left this for me.
Oh my God! I didn't think you could top
abandoning me for the last 20 years...
and then you shot me.
Sarah, my mom did something to me with that device.
My name is Alexei Volkoff.
I believe you were looking for me.
Sarah, I can't flash. The Intersect is gone.
You wanted to see me, Alexei.
I've just had some disturbing news.
Agent Carmichael is still alive.
I'm as surprised as you are.
I was there.
We tied them up...
planted explosives all around them...
and yet, he survived.
It was my fault.
I underestimated him.
Let's tidy things up.
I'm assigning you my top assassins:
Pierre, Victor, Hercule.
Use them.
And, Frost...
make certain he's really dead this time.
All right. Are you ready for this?
You and me, locked and loaded,
training for hand-to-hand combat. Absolutely,
but remember I had six months of training in Prague.
This is different now. This is Chuck unplugged.
Wow. It sounds kind of hard-core when you say it like that.
It's gonna be good. Honest, I'm-I'm mostly
just scared about today, man. Black Friday?
This is the scariest shopping day of the year.
Many a Buy More manager has fallen on this day.
Hey! Hey, hey, buddy, you're going to be just fine.
We'll learn a few moves; you'll get through it.
All right, I'm pumped! I'm pump... hey!
Let's go in there and kick some serious ass.
All right, ladies.
Let's grab a pole
and make that booty clap.
Morgan, what sort of hand-to-hand combat class
did you sign us up for? Strip kick.
Yeah, it mixes the self-defense of Krav Maga
with the intense core workout of pole dancing.
I saw an infomercial on it
All right, ladies...
kick!
How's it going with you and Sarah?
Any uh, progress on "el proposalito"?
Well, I-I am working on something new. Duck!
Whoo! But, uh, I'm keeping it a little close to the st.
What?! Are you serious?
Ju... Chuck, I'm a-I'm a- I'm a part-time spy,
man, okay? I am a very,
very serious keeper of secrets.
Jump!
Casey can never know about this. Never.
So how's the combat training going?
Well, Cinnamon's a tough instructor,
but I'm picking things up pretty quickly, I think.
Well, I am just happy to have you back.
Me, too. And you know what?
It's the best I've felt in a long time.
Good, good. I thought you might still be upset
after Ellie and Awesome cancelled Thanksgiving dinner.
What? No, no, no, of course not.
They're doctors. It happens.
Besides, tonight is our annual leftover dinner.
Just as delicious as Thanksgiving,
without all the big-event stress.
Remember, Frost wants them killed at close range.
No sound.
I guess I was just a little worried,
'cause holidays are for family time, and...
with everything that happened with your mother...
Well, I think I've developed a little perspective.
I mean, I'm ready to put the past behind me.
Really.
Don't sound so skeptical, all right?
If my mom were standing in front of me right now,
I honestly think I'd say, "All is forgiven,
"and good luck being an evil bad guy."
And, uh, speaking of looking forward to the future...
Chuck, get down!
Wow. This stuff really works.
Sarah, I can't handle these guys without the Intersect.
I've only got the one move.
Uh, Sarah...
What?
Mom?
Come with me if you want to live.
Transcrypt by www.addic7ed.com
Okay. Here we are safe.
Now you can start answering some of my questions.
We can't stay here.
Volkoff has contacts in the CIA.
We have to move.
We should believe you, because last time
trusting you worked out so well.
Chuck, I didn't want to have to do the things I did.
Most people's moms don't have to explain to their kids
why they shot them, or tied them up and blew up
their childhood home.
I didn't have a choice.
There's always a choice!
You could choose to let me know what your plan is.
Chuck, maybe we can step outside for a second?
We're running out of...
No. You're not going anywhere.
What happened to putting the past behind you?
She just pushes my buttons, you know?
I mean, you want to be able to trust your mom,
not worry that she's gonna shoot you in the face.
Which is why you should stay out of this interrogation.
There is something that she's not telling us,
and we're not going to get
to the bottom of it with you in the room.
Sarah, I'm perfectly capable of doing...
BIG MIKE: This is what
a successful Black Friday looks like.
You did it, son. I couldn't be prouder.
It was hairy there for a minute,
but, like, we ran out of those Bondesen 7G Smartphones.
But you remembered what I taught you.
No phone? Sell them a head spa.
No head spa? Sell 'em a used phone.
Now...
I brought this for you.
Really? Just think of this as
my fatherly love... in the form of
fresh meatballs smothered in marinara
with gooey delicious provolone melting all over.
Wow. That is just a terrible metaphor, you know,
but I forgive yo 'cause it smells delicious.
You deserve it. Hey, all right.
I should go.
I'm getting a little misty.
Mmm. Yeah, okay.
Excuse me!
Can you help me?
Oh, geez, I'm sorry, Miss. We're-we're-wee closed.
Well, I just want to buy o of those 7G Smartphones.
Completely sold out of those. Please!
I'll do anything. Uh, not that I'm not flattered,
but who has two thumbs and is taken?
Boom, This guy.
Okay. Happy holidays.
Okay.
This is our finest plan yet, Jeffrey-
smartphones that can also send
and receive calls.
I mean, people will do anything for these bad boys.
Who have you been talking to?
No one, no one, no one.
Stop being paranoid. Remember,
this is not stealing.
This is pre-buying with funds at we do not have yet,
which we will postpay when we sell these phones on eBay.
And then, my friend...
Use the profits to make our sweet demo.
Jeffster!
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
Stop. Listen. I'm going to go check
to see if the coast is clear
and then we'll move these puppies
out of here. Right?
Totally.
Knock, knock. Brought some carrots.
Rich in vitamin A and good for retinal development.
Thank you. We're starving.
I bet. You've been working on this nonstop since we found it.
Figure anything out? Well, more or less.
My dad left me a sort of... memory problem.
He was using the brain to store data,
but he was approaching it from an engineer's perspective,
and human memory works differently than a computer.
So... a few adjustments,
and 36 hours of MRIs later...
voila!
Whoa, wait. Are you telling me
you just solved the problem that your dad left you?
No, I solved it 20 minutes ago,
and then suddenly his computer just locked off. Look!
"One or 11?"
What does that mean?
I tried putting in each of the number I don't know.
It's another mystery, courtesy of my dad.
Why would he leave this for me? Uh... brain scans?
I mean, this is obviously spy-related.
Maybe we should talk to Chuck.
No. I don't want to give him any reason
to get back into that life.
What do you want to do?
I don't know.
Now, we know these men you shot
were high-level Volkoff assassins.
So what's your game here?
I was ordered to use those three to kill Chuck.
I had to shoot them to save Chuck's life.
Protecting him has always been my number-one priority.
Hello? Yeah, ask her how disabling the Intersect
is about protecting me. Are we really gonna do this right now?
I'm just saying if she's all about protecting me,
tell her to explain that.
Fine.
So how was shutting off the Intersect
meant to protect Chuck?
It was meant to stop him from following me.
Yes.
But then I went out on missions unprotected;
she's made me even more vulnerable.
I don't think this is helping right now.
Is that him?
Let me talk to him.
Here. you know, this is exactly why we didn't want you
in this interrogation.
Let the grown-ups do their work.
Fine. I'm hanging up now.
Good. I'm glad. I'm gladder.
(phone beeps)
Now, where were we? Why don't you tell us
what it is that you're really after.
Volkoff will know that they are dead,
which means that he will be coming here for me.
We are not safe here.
Sarah, pick up the phone.
I was able to get what you wanted.
Fantastic.
Now, you said you're willing to do...
anything for it.
First...
I need you to shave my back.
I can't reach the middle.
Thomas Jefferson Barnes!
Um, Jeffrey...
what the hell are you doing?!
Getting what I deserve.
Getting what you...? Really?
Excuse me.
Listen to me. We can't afford to let
strangers shave your back, Jeffrey.
Not now when we're this close to making our dreams come true.
You're so pretty.
I...
And we're secure.
Good work.
Now let's get what we came for.
Look there's something she's not telling us.
Well, you're not really doing yourself any favors
by calling in the middle of the interrogation. I'm sorry.
If you want to go back in there, I promise
I'll stay off the phone.
One second.
I just gotta...
It's... I'm not calling you at least.
Hey, buddy, I can't really talk right now.
We're in the middle of a crisis here.
I don't know what kind of crisis you're in, Chuck,
but mine's carrying AK-47s
and just took over the store. Hey...
Alexei Volkoff.
Volkoff? Did you just say Volkoff?
Volkoff is here?!
Morgan, Morgan, hey, hey, I need you hide
and do not come out until...
Morgan, I think Volkoff just cut off our cell phones.
That's always Volkoff's first move- kill all communications.
Hmm... What-what are we gonna do?!
Morgan is still up there.
Lucky for us, this is a state-of-the-art CIA facility.
We're fully prepared for an internal attack.
You've less than a minute. Impress me.
Okay, let's do some damage.
Attention members of the CIA.
You've killed three of my men and captured my best agent.
I'm here to get her back.
Keep talking, commie. It's party time.
CASEY Mr. Volkoff, exit the Buy More now.
K.K., go.
Weapons system online.
Better dead than red.
Weapons disabled.
Casey, what's happening?
Must've hacked into the system.
My guns are do.
Understand... this is not a negotiation.
Give me Frost or I'll kill you all,
starting with the fat man and the Indian.
God!
Progress?
Our scans revealed a hidden elevator shaft
behind the Home Theater Room, but K.K. can't seem
to override the system,
and it's three feet of carbide steel.
Start cutting.
Okay, good news-bad news:
Jeff and Lester are about to die.
I'd say that's bad news.
Good news: I've manually locked down all entrances to Castle.
Bad news: we're sitting ducks down here.
They're cutting in through the elevator shaft.
They'll be down here in an hour.
Now we have one option.
The Buy More defenses have a manual override. They're buried
deep in the access tunnels here.
If we can patch in there, we can override the lock-down.
Bring our defenses back up.
Right. Now you two stay down here with mama.
When Volkoff calls to negotiate, buy me some time.
I don't get it. Why would Volkoff pull off
a full-on assault on a CIA facility
for a one agent? He's got to be after something bigger.
Yeah, well, whatever it is,
there's something my mom's not telling us.
I'm not lying. He wants me.
You're saying he'll take on the entire CIA,
risk his whole organization for one agent?
He...
I need to know that Frost is still alive.
Put her on the phone.
Chuck,
you have to turn me over to him.
Please trust me.
I don't.
Volkoff, this is Charles Carmichael.
I'm the only one you'll be speaking with.
Charles, so good to hear your voice again.
Now, I know how scared you must be,
cut off from help with a madman closing in on you.
So let me offer you a simple suggestion:
hand Frost the damn phone!
I think he wants to talk to you.
Alexei, I'm here.
Frost...
thank God.
Are they treating you all right?
I'm fine.
Did they feed you?
Yes.
Was it good?
It was delicious.
You tell them they'd better continue treating you well
or I'll make life
very uncomfortable for them very soon.
Tell them
that I'm not leaving here without you, my love.
What...?
What...? My love?!
What does that mean?
It means that Alexei Volkoff...
is in love with me.
He's in love with you?! He called you "My love."
Who exactly is Volkoff to you?! Is he your boyfriend?
Is he the reason you left Dad?
No.
Alexei and I have never been together.
It's just he...
he's in love with me, that's all.
That's all?! Got it! Got it! Great!
No, you don't get it.
Sarah, explain to him.
If you were working undercover
with the world's biggest psychopath,
d that psychopath falls in love with you...
That would make me a major intelligence asset.
I see.
So that's why you've been gone from my life since I was nine?!
Chuck, I'm a spy.
It was my mission.
You've been close to Volkoff for years.
Why didn't you just take him out?
My mission was to take down the network, not the man.
Which is something I still might be able to do.
But if you want to save yourself and your
friends, then you need to turn me over to him.
You have no choice.
Chuck, wait.
Hey, are you okay?
How can I trust anything she says?
Every time that I do, I wind up getting shot or almost blown up.
I haven't been stabbed yet.
Chuck, going undercover for so long and staying loyal
is am extremely hard thing to do as a spy.
I mean, I got lucky; I was assigned to you.
Your mom got Volkoff.
Do you think Volkoff really is in love with her?
If he is,
I bet he would rather negotiate with us
than risk her getting hurt.
Sarah, I might be mad at my mom, like, really, really mad,
but I'm never going to hurt her.
Yeah, you and I both know that, but Volkoff doesn't.
It might help us to buy more time for Casey
Casey!
Morgan, what the hell are you doing in here?
Where are your shoes?
It's kind of a funny story, actually. I was sitting...
Never mind about the shoes.
Now listen, where are Chuck and Sarah?
And what the hell is going on here?
Volkoff's taken control of the Buy More.
He's captured Tweedle-dumb and Tweedle-dumber.
He's got 'em tied up in the storage area.
He's gonna kill 'em if we don't give him Chuck's mom.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. He's got Jeff and Lester? Mm-hmm.
We gotta save 'em! If we don't get those guns up and working,
we're all gonna be killed.
No, no, no, you're absolutely right.
Okay, I'll go.
Okay, you get the guns up and running,
and I'll save Jeff and Lester.
Morgan, that's a stupid idea.
Maybe, but I'm not gonna sit here on all fours
and watch those two die, okay?
Now wish me luck.
Wait!
You might need that.
That's good thinking.
The muzzle! Right, I got it. I got it.
Yes, Charles?
You want Frost,
and we have her.
Now, if you do what we ask,
I'll make sure that she doesn't get hurt.
But if you don't do what we ask,
then bad things are going to happen to her.
Very bad things.
Like...
Well, just very bad things. We'll leave it at that.
Is that a threat?
Let me show you something.
This is a thermite-TH3 incendiary explosive.
When it's detonated, the temperatures will exceed
4,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
Metal will boil.
I'm gonna drop it down the elevator shaft,
and it will incinerate every single one of you,
including my beloved Frost.
I'd rather she died than have to live without me.
Give her back to me,
and I'll let you live.
That's how you threaten someone, Charles.
So much for buying Casey more time.
Hey, you came for me.
Mm. Thank you.
No time to talk, Grimes.
We were supposed to sell these.
What is wrong with those guys?
Tell your men to back off.
Don't be afraid.
I told you I'd let you live,
and I meant it.
But you should know...
I have your friend, Casey.
Put down your weapons.
Frost.
Thank you for coming for me.
I had no choice.
Now, there is just one small matter
to deal with.
Chuck.
What happened to letting us go?!
I lied.
But in my defense, you threatened the woman I love.
Frost, I hope you feel this is a romantic gesture.
Alexei, you can't!
Why not? You like romance.
Because...
Charles is my son.
Really?
Really.
Really?
Really.
Really?!
Really!
So this is why he isn't dead.
I'm sorry, Alexei.
My one weakness is my love for my son.
And he knows this
and uses it against me.
Don't be hard on yourself.
We always expect the best from the ones we love,
and rarely get it.
Why didn't you tell me?
Alexei, you run a multinational criminal organization.
There's no room for family.
Especially family that works for the CIA.
What did you think I was going to do?
Sir, there's an incoming call on the Buy More lines...
Shut up!
...from an Ellie Bartowski.
Any relation, this Ellie Bartowski,
Mr. Bartowski?
Yeah.
No.
No, ye-yeah... uh, distant, distant relative,
who-who... Sh-She's like, she lives in Alaska, I think.
Come to think of it, she's in Bangladesh.
You don't want, you don't want to...
Chuck? That's not necessary. Please don't...
Hey, it's me. Are you coming for dinner tonight?
I'm kind of, uh, I'm kind of tied up here at work, sis.
No, you have to come; I have so much food here,
and we didn't get to have
a family Thanksgiving dinner this year.
It'd be fun. Please?
I'll try my best.
Okay, great. I'll see you soon.
VOLKOFF So...
a son and a daughter.
You didn't think I could have a relationship
with your family?
Kids love me.
I'll prove you wrong.
Charles...
Chuck.
(muffled yell)
Call your sister back.
Tell her you're coming to dinner.
I know it's tough; we just have to be calm.
You just brought a psychotic killer
back to your pregnant daughter's house.
Considering the circumstances,
I'd say I'm pretty damn calm right now.
Everything's gonna be fine.
You'll just have to trust me on this.
Yeah, I've heard that before.
Alexei,
you do understand that
my daughter and her husband are civilians?
Of course.
I don't want to frighten your family.
I just want to get to know them.
Hi!
Mom?
Yeah, remember I was telling you
I was going to bring some surprise guests? So...
surprise!
Hey.
I'm Devon, your... your son-in-law.
Hey...
Come on in. Hello.
Nice to meet you. Chuck, I want you to have fun tonight.
But if I get the feeling
that you're plotting against me...
I need this dinner to be perfect, understand?
Yeah, I think we do.
I think you don't.
If it isn't perfect,
I will take it out on the people you love
Well, this has been quite the surprise.
I can't remember the last time
we had you here for Thanksgiving, Mom.
It was 1990.
You were 12.
Chuck was nine.
The turkey was overcooked.
That's right.
That's right. I remember that.
I, however, thought that the turkey tasted fine.
So, uh, Alexei,
you-you work with my mom. Can I...?
I mean, am I allowed to ask what happened to her?
Well, it's complicated.
Let me explain.
Well, Ellie,
in our business, sometimes
good people get confused for bad, and...
the bad for good.
But fortunately,
being your mother's handler,
I was able to help convince the CIA that she is good.
Right, Sarah?
Right. Absolutely.
And that's why your mother is free to go now.
Well, that's good news, right?
Oh, yeah.
I know how painful it was
for your mother when she had to leave you
all those years ago.
And I know how painful it must have been
for you, too.
And your brother.
Thank you
for helping our mom.
You can't imagine what you've done for this family.
Families come first.
Come on, think, Morgan, think.
There's no Chuck, no Sarah.
It's up to you to save them.
How? How?
Okay? Yeah.
Okay, a movie. Movie.
Yes!
Gosh. Um...
ELLIE: Three words.
Hey, buddy, you having a good time?
Are you kidding?
This Alexei is totally awesome.
First guy I've met
who's free-climbed K2, no oxygen.
Hard core, bro.
Yeah, yeah, he's something else, isn't he?
You know what else he is?
An international arms dealer
and a very, very bad man.
We're in terrible danger right now. Don't freak out.
Bourne Identity!
No!
Ah!
So close. Dude...
this is not funny.
Well, it's also not a joke, Devon, okay?
Kangaroo.
Paw. Paw.
I didn't want to have to tell you this,
but I'm spying again,
and I really need your help.
Batman Forever?
Wrong again, Charles.
You really should make some guesses,
otherwise, it looks suspicious.
Uh, Bourne Identity!
I just said that.
Whatever, man. I'm freaking here.
What are you thinking, bringing this guy home?
Look, I'm sorry, okay? It's not my fault.
It wasn't my decision.
Look, Sarah and I can't make a move
without setting off Alexei's alarm bells,
but you're a civilian, okay?
He won't suspect you of anything.
Devon, I know you're the world's worst liar,
but right now...
I need you to be awesome.
What do you want me to do?
Hey. Looks like we're out of sugar.
Hey, Chuck.
You got any at your place?
Just getting some sugar.
Cold.
CIA emergency alert activated.
Wow. That is surprisingly soothing.
Got the sugar.
Oh, nice.
I'll take that.
Shouldn't your cell phone be ringing?
Huh? Right.
Huh. It's the hospital.
Hello?
Uh-huh. Yeah, yeah.
Well, if you need us, we'll be right there.
What is it?
There was a bus accident on the 101- code blue.
They need all the hands they can get.
Oh, God.
I'm so sorry that we have to take off like this.
It was a wonderful evening.
Go save some lives. Okay.
It was great to see you, Mom.
Talk to you soon.
Okay. Okay.
Bye.
See you soon.
Such a sad end to a wonderful evening.
You had to go and alert the CIA, didn't you?
Don't move.
You do know that the nearest tactical response team
is over ten minutes away.
Until then,
anything could happen.
Drop it, Sarah.
Mom, seriously?
You're betraying me again?
No! Stop! Alexei,
we've had our dinner.
You've met the family.
We're leaving.
But what kind of potential father-in-law
would I be if I didn't set an example?
Chuck has to learn
you make a threat, you follow through on it.
I don't really have to do that, but...
I just really like the sound.
Alexei, stop.
My love?
What are you doing?
This is exactly why I didn't tell you about my family.
You don't know how to love someone.
You only know how to control them.
But you should know
that I could never love a man
who would do anything to hurt my son.
So drop it.
Alexei, you know that I am loyal to you,
but I will not return with you
until you promise me that my family
and their friends will remain safe
And if they don't...
I will end you.
You see?
That is a real threat.
Chuck, I'm sorry for everything.
I hope someday you'll trust me.
Mom.
I already do.
Hey, guys.
I surrender.
Yippee ki-yay.
Yippee ki...
Hey.
Yippee ki-yay...
Yip...
Okay.
I surrender.
You're free to go.
What? What?
Volkoff's orders. We're out.
What should we do with these two?
What's going on?
You two have some sort of orgy in here last night?
I don't think... Yes.
Tell me you weren't planning on selling these phones on eBay.
Depend..
on what you mean
by eBay.
Then, you wouldn't have any problem
getting that back out on the sales floor.
Let's say ten minutes?
And get them band stickers off them boxes.
I wish I would have trusted my mom
instead of being so angry with her the whole time.
And now... she's gone.
And she can't come back- not until Volkoff is destroyed.
He knows too much.
She's the only thing keeping us safe right now.
Hey, bro. Can I talk to you for a minute?
Sure.
Uh... hey. What's up?
What the hell were you thinking?
Not only are you spying again,
but you bring it back to our apartment?
I had to lie to Ellie out the hospital, and I hate lying.
I'm sorry, okay? I- I-I really am.
I was trying to protect my mom, and things went sideways.
Stop. Okay? Just stop.
I don't want to know.
I don't want this spy stuff near Ellie ever again.
Never. Never, ever again.
And she doesn't want it near you, either. Understand?
So this conversation never took place.
Devon, this is one of my father's laptops.
How did you...? He left it for Ellie.
It was broken, and we fixed it.
There's something on it- brain scans.
Some memory problem that Ellie figured out.
What do... what does it mean?
I don't want to know, and neither does Ellie,
but if you're spying again, maybe it can help you.
Are you sure you want to do this?
Look, I'm not even sure what's on this thing,
but if I'm right... then yes.
Let's get this over with.
"One or 11?"
What does that mean?
Well, it's the value of an ace in blackjack, but...
There was something my dad used to say to me.
Chuck?
I'm okay.
Guys, I know kung fu... again.
