Chuck (2007–2012): Season 3, Episode 13 - Chuck Versus the Other Guy - full transcript

Hi, I'm Chuck. Here's a few
things you might need to know.

You're not the same guy that I fell for.

How am I not the same guy?

You killed somebody, Chuck.

- He didn't kill the mole.
- What?

- I did.
- It's time you learned the truth

about your wife's murder.

No!

If The Ring

played him this video...

Oh, my God, General, where is Sarah now?



I believe she's with Agent Shaw.

Daniel, where are you taking us?

To settle an old score.

Okay, just give me 20 seconds.
Are you sure about this?

NSA picked up the director's signal.

This is his broadcast point.

If they're right, Sarah, The Ring's most
senior operative is behind that door.

Cover me.

- Hey, buddy.
- Hey.

Hey, hey, buddy. Where's Casey?

Haven't seen him. I have been thinking

about this whole unofficial
member of operation Bartowski

and I'd like to make it official.

- Yeah, you know, I'm kind of in the middle of something...
- Spyish?



I know. That's my
point, dude. Let me help.

- I want to be part of the team.
- Okay, fine.

Help me find Casey and
you're part of the team.

- Operation Bartowski?
- I could actually... shh!

Not so loud. Not so loud, right.

It's just great news, you know,

because, listen, I could
be your second in command

slash personal assistant.
Batman needs Alfred.

Bond needs Q.

Chuck... hey, hey, hey. You need me.

Morgan, I need Casey right now.

Well, Chuck, per my
excellent peripheral vision...

which is a valuable spy skill

I might add... I can tell you that one
John Casey is now exiting the restroom.

- Oh, thank you. Great.
- You're welcome.

So I'm a spy? That's it? Official?

Yes, you're a spy. Gotta go.

I am a spy.

Shaw?

Walker killed Shaw's wife?

It was five years ago.
It was her red test.

Sarah didn't know. Beckman
didn't know, but Shaw,

he knows. Now, he and Sarah have

disappeared on some mission.
They're off the grid.

- They can't be raised. They're gone.
- Chuck, I'm not an agent.

You shouldn't be telling me any of this.

But you know what to do, Casey.

Okay, Beckman told me to just sit tight.

You and I know I can't do that.

Sarah just activated her locater.

She's in trouble.

Come on, man!

You know how I feel about her.

Call this number.

Request tactical support.

You'll be forwarded to a Colonel Sanders.

Don't make fun of his name.

You want air, armor... everything.

Video camera for your birthday.

I had no idea you were

going to use my present against me.

Happy birthday.

I love you.

Oh, my God.

I love you.

All right, one more
time, just so we're clear.

We have to reacquire Agent Walker.

Nothing can happen to her.
Do I make myself clear?

Yes, sir.

This is team leader. Is everything set?

Men air is go.

Mechanized is go.

Tactical is go.

Airborne is go.

All right, boys, let's do this.

Shaw.

I'm going first.

Shaw.

What is going on?

What is this? This is my red test.

Why would they have

my surveillance footage
from my first kill?

Just take a breath.

This is the worst moment of my
life up there on that monitor.

I love you.

Mine, too.

What?

Why? Who is she?

Evelyn Shaw.

I killed your wife?

You had no idea that
The Ring was behind this.

Shaw, I killed your wife.

- This isn't your fault.
- I thought I was a good spy.

This isn't your fault.

Hey... it's okay.

Chuck?

Hi.

Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!

Move! Move! Move!

The perimeter's surrounded.
Put your hands up!

Down on the ground now!

Now! Now!

Man what's happening in there?

Target's secure?

This is team leader.

Cancel air support.

Cancel tactical.

And the tank, the tank!

Cancel the tank.

Who En earth gave you the authority
to call in a full tactical assault?

I don't know what to do with you,

but I know you're not ready.

But, General, it was Sarah.

Come on. I had to...

You want to see the bill
for your rescue mission?

It's longer than my
copy of atlas shrugged.

Look, you and I both thought the worst.

That Shaw had gone rogue.

- That he was going to...
- Kill Sarah?

Shaw.

Sarah.

Listen...

You thought I betrayed my country?

General, Chuck's actions
were those of a true spy.

He was looking out

for his partner and the agency.

I would have done the same myself.

Maybe without the stealth bombers,

but perhaps that's just me.

Are you doing okay?

Yeah, I'm fine. Thank you.

Thank you for saving me.

I appreciated the tank.

General, did you check Sarah's records?

Any clues as to who ordered her red test?

I'm afraid, Sarah, Langston Graham
took that secret to his grave.

Well, okay, General, then
what are we supposed to do now?

We disband the team.

Surely, you can't operate as an
effective unit with this history.

General, if I may?

This isn't the first time they've
used one of our own against us.

I want to make sure it's the last.

You're saying you can
still work with Walker?

I can.

We both want the same thing:

to capture the director
and take down The Ring.

Are you with me?

Can we still be a team?

Yes.

Great.

Everyone's back together again.

What is it, boy?

My demo station don't cook by itself.

I, uh...

Spit it out, son.

Is it your mama?

- It's Chuck.
- Is he okay?

Jeff and Lester, I could give a damn
about them. Go ahead and fire them.

It's okay.

Someone else?

- Who's the issue?
- Me.

Me. I'm the issue.

This is tough.

I'm quitting.

I found a job.

A real job.

You can feel proud about it?

You're not selling your body?

You've got to go.

Boy...

I... I can't show emotions like this.

Mm-hmm. Those animals
out there, they'll...

They'll get me if I do.

I think Morgan's dying.

I call dibs on his locker.

Its location is far more
prestigious than my own.

No, man. Those are tears of joy.

- Morgan's leaving.
- Grimes.

Don't worry, John.

You will always have us.

And now, sans Morgan, we have room!

For what?

- For you.
- In our crew, buddy.

Come on. Hands in!

You, you can let go of my hand now.

What is it, Bartowski?

General, if I could speak freely?

That's not a good idea.

As the titular member of team Bartowski,

I think that it's crazy to be putting Shaw

back in the field so soon. He just found
out that Sarah killed his wife, okay?

The guy's got to be an
emotional train wreck right now.

Nobody can control
their feelings that well.

Chuck, what you are seeing in Shaw

is an absolute professional:
something you are not.

That's why I'm moving them out of Burbank.

Moving who out of Burbank?

Sarah and Shaw.

I'm proceeding with my original plan.

They'll head up our ring
task force in Washington.

And what about me?

You'll stay in Burbank until
I know what to do with you.

Wa-pshh!

Where you going, sport?

New job?

It's kind of secret.

You're going to work for Chuck.

I'm not a moron.

All right.

Isn't it awesome? Can you believe it?

Me, a spy.

And listen, when... when General
Beckman lets you come back,

me and you will be spies together.

Beckman doesn't forget a
small thing like "treason."

And, uh...

I'm really learning to
enjoy my new life here.

Are you kidding me?

John, your old life was so exciting.

The adventures, the missions,
the weaponry, the women...

Please stop.

Right. Got it.

Learn to lock it down.

Well, I'll tell you what.

I'm glad you're okay here, you know?

Won't be the same without you.

But, uh...

enjoy my old life.

You, too.

Hey, hey, hey.

Got some very exciting news.

Are you ready? Hold onto your hat.

I did it. I...

What the heck is going on here?

Oh.

Are you mixing gaming with whiskey?

She's leaving, man.

Leaving with the other guy.

No, this cannot happen.

This cannot happen.

- I thought I stood a chance, you know?
- Yeah, well, just...

- Hmm-mm, hmm-mm.
- Okay, okay, buddy.

- Hand it over.
- Hmm-mm, hmm-mm. No.

- Let go.
- No.

You are on the precipice
of emotional ruin here.

- I'm already over the edge!
- No, you're not!

Soon you're gonna start quoting liberally

from the works of John Hughes.

And then things are gonna go dark.

Things are gonna go really dark,

and I'm not gonna let that happen.

Morgan, hand over the bottle!

Never!

Yes, you will.

Make me.

I hope you're happy.

She said she couldn't be with
someone who didn't believe in her.

Well, I believed in her.

I just didn't believe in me.

Dude, you are misquoting the line,

and you are ruining pretty in pink for me.

Now, just stop it.

Put the cap back on the top of the bottle,

and let's forget that this
night ever happened. Okay?

I'm really good at that, dude.

I've forgotten entire years, man.

What is happening?

Hey, Sarah.

Chuck's in a, a bit of a low spot.

Um...

Yeah, yeah, I see that.

He found out that
you're leaving with Shaw.

He's also eaten an entire carton

of sugar-free mint ice cream,

which is only concerning,
well, when you factor in

the large consumption of whiskey.

Thank you.

Morgan, can you leave us please?

I forgive you.

Great, now I hate this song.

Look, I, uh...

I know what I look like.

The mint ice cream
sobered me up pretty good.

Chuck, it's okay.

No, it isn't.

I thought I could save you.

I thought Shaw was bad
and I was gonna save you,

and we were gonna be together.

But that didn't happen.

Shaw's a good spy.

I get it, okay?

I think everybody gets it.

Shaw is amazing.

And you two are gonna go run
off together and save the world.

And that's great news for the world.

But earlier on in my...

drunken haze...

I realized that I hadn't
asked you a question.

Really important question that I'd
like to ask you now, if that's okay.

Just once, for the record...

Sarah, do you love me?

Wow. I'm, uh, I'm in my underwear.

I'm sitting in my underwear,
holding a plastic guitar.

There's a very good chance

I'm making a complete fool
of myself, isn't there?

Yes.

I should probably put some pants on.

No, Chuck.

Yes.

Wh... uh, what?

Chuck, I fell for you
a long, long time ago...

after you fixed my phone and before you
started defusing bombs with computer viruses.

So, yes.

Yes.

Wait, wait.

What about my red test?

Casey told me.

He told me that he killed the
mole and that you couldn't do it.

And it was the best
news that I'd ever heard

because it means that you haven't changed.

You're still Chuck.

You're still my Chuck.

I, uh, I will be totally
cleaned up by tomorrow.

Well, you don't have time
because we have a mission.

Shaw found The Ring headquarters.

It's a three-man op,
and you're our third.

Mission?

No problem.

Morgan, what are you doing?

Right. Where are my manners?

We haven't even met professionally.

Morgan Grimes.

Agent of the CIA and an assistant
to one Charles Irving Bartowski.

Now, let's get to work here.

You heard the lady.

There is a mission, and you are needed.

Let's get you some coffee.

You okay, Chuck?

Huh, what, me? Yeah, good. Totally cool.

Yeah, ready to go.

Everything is totally normal.

All right.

Director has his own private elevator.

You two are gonna rappel down to it.

When the director leaves, grab
him; I'll pull you back up.

Cool.

Great.

You think he knows about us?

Shh.

I'm just saying...

Okay, ready?

Don't worry about the
warehouse or Beckman, Chuck.

I trust you completely.

Yeah.

Okay, Shaw, we're in.

Hey.

What's the matter?

Um, I have a concern about Shaw.

While he, yes, is a very
great spy, emotionally,

the guy is Swiss cheese, okay?

Chuck, Shaw is one step closer
to capturing the director.

And I'm sure that is all

he is thinking about, so don't even worry.

All right, Sarah, I'm accessing
the elevator's controls.

Gentlemen.

See! See! He knows!

Shaw, are you okay?

He's having a mental break.
We're fish in a barrel.

Sorry about that, guys.

Little ring company.

See, I told you he
wasn't trying to kill us.

All right.

I'm opening the hatch.

Oh, don't worry. It's a tranq gun.

Okay, fine. Just sell that it's real.

Right, of course. Ruthless spy.

You're gonna take care of
most of them though, right?

Sarah, internal security system

is detecting something
moving toward the elevator.

Looks like the director's coming in early.

Time to meet our bad guy.

One word and you're dead.

Now, this is brazen.

That... that was four words.

Kidnapping me in my own lift.

Impressive.

But there's absolutely no
chance you'll get the cipher.

Did he just say cipher?

Yeah.

- What do you mean?
- Don't play dumb.

You're better than that.

We've been building our
own intersect for a year.

You know that.

Of course. The cipher is the
intersect's core processor.

Fine, so it's here.
So where exactly is it?

You won't get five feet from this door.

My security will be on you in seconds.

Well, that's tough because
either we get the cipher or...

Pull out your ring phone.

What ring phone?

You mean, this ring phone?

Yeah, that ring phone right there.

Call your assistant.

- What?
- You know, your secretary.

Whoever you have. Call him or her,

have them bring the cipher to you here.

And put it on speakerphone.

You give her one warning, and I'm gonna...

Please. I know the drill.

Denise.

Sir, you asked for this.

Also, I spoke with operative 6.

They'll proceed with
the coup in 15 minutes.

The Spanish ambassador also called back

with the ransom offer. He wants to close

by end of day tomorrow at the latest.

Thank you, Denise.

And please text me when the plane lands

in Barcelona.

"Barcelona"... it's a code.

Oh, "Barcelona's" a
code? That... that's good.

What are we supposed to do with her now?!

Well, personally, I'd shoot her.

Decisions, decisions.

Shaw, what's going on?

- Just need a few more seconds.
- Well, we don't have seconds.

Sorry, sir.

One of our guys heard something strange

in the elevator shaft.

Hi, welcome to the party.

This is getting ridiculous.

I've got it. Here we go.

You know it's over, right?

What?

This was a trap.

For you.

Okay, nobody move.

We can all die here today.

You can all die here today.

Personally, I have dinner reservations.

Look at me.

Do I look like an amateur?

No, you don't, but your partner
here is a very different story.

Not much of a spy, are you?

I am a spy.

Really?

With a tranq pistol?

Real gun too dangerous for you?

Put it down.

Sorry, Chuck.

Daniel...

Still upset about your wife?

You should really learn to get over
that or take it out on Agent Walker here.

She pulled the trigger.

Go. Take the service elevator to the
fifth floor, then the north stairwell.

I'll get the cipher.

I'll meet you back at castle.

Shaw, we're not gonna leave you here.

Sarah, go, please.

Did he...?

You know, I think you're right.

I think we should probably
wait to tell him about us.

Good work, Daniel.

I think they bought it.

You weren't supposed to
eliminate the director, Shaw.

This wasn't a red op.

I did what I had to to get my team out.

Oh! That was a huge kick! Where did we...?

Where'd you get this?
Where'd we get this footage?

I tapped into the building
security feed during the op.

Wow, that's a hell of a roundhouse, buddy.

Uh, General, I do think it's worth noting

that we would all be dead if
it were not for Shaw, so...

Very well.

General, there's also
the issue of the cipher.

The director said that the
ring was making a new intersect.

Relax. My team analyzed their cipher

and found a number of
problems in the design.

Obviously, The Ring isn't
as far along as they thought.

Looks like the cipher's components
were fabricated in France.

That's right, Shaw.

I need you and Sarah to
follow this trail to Paris.

We believe The Ring's
design facility is there.

We can be in the air in 30 minutes.

Excuse me, General.

Uh, what, what about me?

Sorry, Chuck, you're not ready.

We are never gonna get our chance, are we?

Once I get back, it's all gonna happen...

You and me.

Don't worry.

Just one more mission.

Hey, look at you!

Nice! I take it you
and Sarah are official.

Now, the other guy, he's out of the way?

Well, actually, Sarah and
Shaw are on their way to Paris.

Beckman doesn't think I'm
ready to be out in the field.

But other than that, everything's fine.

How is everything fine?

Chuck, I quit my job so I
could join you in the field.

You did... you did what?!

You said I was a part your team.

That you were gonna
speak to Beckman about me.

Did you speak to Beckman about me?

Of course you didn't. No, why would you?

I'm not a spy. I'm an idiot.

No, no, you're not an idiot.

I gave up a management
position in a down economy.

Look, I'm sorry, buddy, okay?
I'm gonna talk to Beckman.

Sarah's gonna come back
into town, and I will prove

that we are both field-ready.

Chuck, are you kidding me?
None of that is gonna happen.

Listen to me. Shaw's
gonna get Sarah, okay?

And you're gonna go
willy-nilly, tie me up again

and drink yourself into
guitar hero oblivion.

I may have said some
unfortunate things about Shaw,

but the fact of the matter is

the guy's exactly what
he seems: He's a hero.

That's nice. Good for him.

Know what else he is, dude? A stud, okay?

And 99 times out of ten,
that guy gets the girl.

We're done here!

Buddy, Morgan, Morgan, look, I'm
not supposed to show you this,

but it was so awesome,
I made a copy of it.

It'll help prove my point. Here we go.

Okay, this is from the mission. Uh-huh.

That is Shaw saving our butts right there.

Wait for it. Wait for the roundhouse.

Ah! Whoa! That's gotta hurt.

We have a problem.

What?

Chuck, look at this.

He pulls that punch.

And that roundhouse?

It doesn't even land.

But he shot people, Morgan! Bad people!

Did you see blood, viscera, brain matter?

Chuck, did you see brain matter?

Okay, listen to me.

I have seen every Hong Kong
fight film ever made, all right?

I direct your attention

to my favorite Sonny Chiba poster.

I am the man when it comes to this.

You have to trust me.

I can spot a fake action
sequence from a mile away.

That's what we have here.

But if the fight was staged,

that means that Shaw is
working with The Ring.

And Sarah is with him.

I'm uploading the fight footage
to Beckman's home computer now.

Report, Chuck.

Uh, General, I'm so sorry about the hour,

but we just figured something out.

Something very important.

Agent Shaw is working with The Ring.

Chuck, how many times
do we have to do this?

General, before, I was right for
the wrong reasons, but this time

I'm right for the right
reasons, and... and I have proof.

Hi, there.

What is he doing here?!

Well, uh, first of all, sir, uh, ma'am...

Is it "sir"? What am I doing?

- Just talk!
- Okay. I'd like to thank you for this opportunity.

Stop! What are you doing there?!

Me? I'm with him.

I'm on Chuck's team.

Oh, no. No, you're not

because Chuck's not on
his own team anymore.

I want you both out of
castle in five minutes!

Chuck, you are suspended!

No! No, no, General!

Come on! She's blocking my call.

Well, okay, my time as a
spy was pretty exciting.

A bit brief, you know?

You're still a spy.

How's that, dude?

Because right now I need
a team, and you're all

I've got, buddy, okay? CIA or no CIA.

We need to save Sarah.

Just the two of us.

No, there is another.

So now they're in Paris, Sarah and Shaw.

And Shaw, this time

for real, he is working for The Ring.

Now, I know that you can't
help me again. I know all that.

But Sarah's gonna die without us.

I can't do this alone.

And I can't help you
anymore. I'm not a spy.

But you are a spy!
You're the ultimate spy!

Was, Chuck, was.

But the man's been Buy More'd.

That's right.

You deluded yourself into
thinking that Buy More's your life.

But wake up, John, okay?

'Cause we need you to get on this plane!

Chuck needs you to get on this plane.

And if not, that's cool, you know,
find yourself one Friday night

in Jeff and Lester's crew
hanging out in Woodland Hills.

I know this because I was that guy.

But Chuck and Sarah and you, Casey,

you showed me that I
could be so much more,

that I'm meant for something:

to be a spy.

What about you?

What do you have left in the tank?

What do you want to be when you grow up?

Morgan, go to my closet
and get me my suit.

The black one.

Is this all of it?

This is everything I could find on Shaw.

I can't believe this is happening.

She could be dead, Casey.

Focus on the mission, will ya?

What is it? You just flashed.

It's a mission from ten years ago.

It has nothing to do with Sarah.

I could flash on everything in here,

and we'd still be at
square one and have nothing.

I'm stuck in the air right now

- and there's nothing I can do about it!
- Chuck, focus.

Forget about the intersect.

Forget about being a spy.

Before all of that, you were smart.

Now we're gonna take this intel,

you're gonna figure out where Sarah is.

It's what you have to do.

Where are you, Sarah?

Something is off.

What is it?

Why did you bring me here?

What do you mean?

You led me here.

Come on. This is where I shot her.

Is this some kind of a trap?

Sarah... you killed my wife.

Did you really think that
I'd be okay with that?

But you said that...

I told you a lot of
things to get you here.

The gun's getting heavy, isn't it?

You know, you could
hurt someone with this.

There's a little caf? around the corner.

Let's sit down, discuss the details.

Just relax. It's all over now.

The drug is a special toxin.

It won't kill you.

It simply immobilizes your nervous system.

I want you to see
what's gonna happen next.

I need you to understand
why I'm doing this.

So, Sarah, I see you've
met my newest ring Agent.

Why?

Well, I offered Daniel the chance

to not only avenge his wife's death,

but to destroy the very institution

that ordered her murder: your CIA.

The CIA believed that
Eve had been turned by us.

Your boss Langston Graham
assigned you to kill her.

You did what you were told.

I'm going to send a message to the CIA

that they betrayed the wrong man.

Very well put, Daniel.

They need to know what they did to me.

They need to feel the pain that I felt.

And that... is why I have to kill you.

On that note, do you have it with you?

The report details the
problems with your cipher.

The technical data should
help your scientists

complete the new intersect.

Thank you, Daniel.

We'll be in touch.

- Do you need us to, uh...?
- No.

I want to show her the river.

It's...

beautiful at night.

Well, good night, then.

Good-bye, Sarah.

Almost time to go.

How'd you find me?

I've read your file...

Your wife's, every mission you've been on,

every paper you wrote at west point,

every travel report.

You come here once a year in
memory of your wife's death.

It made morbid sense that
you'd want Sarah to see it, too.

Smart. Very smart.

You're under arrest.

Now, stand up.

Less smart, Chuck.

You should pull the trigger. Now.

Kill me.

I wouldn't do that.

I see you brought Casey.

Oh, yes, I did...

And he's currently taking
care of your new director.

And you've got me?

Stand... up.

I guess the gun was his idea.

Good.

No, Shaw, don't do this.

You can't flash, can you?

Those emotions get you into trouble.

Now, you just stay here.

I don't want to hurt you.

None of this was your fault.

I haven't told them your secret.

But if you follow me...

I will kill you.

Sarah!

The drug will dull the pain.

You won't feel a thing.

Stop!

I warned you.

Please...

It doesn't have to be like this.

This isn't you, Shaw.

You can't do this.

Happy birthday.

I love you.

No, Chuck, I can.

You can't.

Sarah!

Sarah... Sarah...

Sarah...

We've been over this.

You no longer work for me, John.

Unless there's a sale at the Buy More,

we have nothing to talk about.

Mm. Then I guess you
don't want to talk about...

My little friend here, hmm?

The Ring director.

What do you want for him?

Well... full reinstatement, my old
rank back, and a new crown Victoria...

Mm.

And a request you're
probably not gonna like.

It... it seemed like a good job,

but I just... couldn't cut it.

What I came here to ask of you is...

can I come back to the store, sir?

Uh... maybe?

Just...

I'll see my way out.

Not yet.

I couldn't bear to put
the offer out there.

It's been here waiting for you.

Don't worry, son.

You can always come home.

Thanks a lot, big Mike. Dad.

Yeah.

Thanks, big Mike.

- Papi.
- Let's go with "dad." Thanks, dad.

I like that one.

Yo.

Is this Morgan Grimes?

Yeah. Who is it?

This is General Beckman of the NSA.

I am calling to say...

That you are officially a
member of operation Bartowski.

You're not kidding me, are you?

This isn't some sort of...
mean prank or anything, is it?

No. We don't do pranks.

You can thank Colonel Casey.

Okay, I got to go quit my job.

- Hold on a second.
- Don't do that.

Your cover is the Buy More.

Right. Right, that's perfect.

That's perfect. I'm good at that.

Aye, aye, Captain.

General.

It's General.

Of course. General. General.

Thank you... thank you, sir.

Ma'am.

I will not let you down.

Are you... hello?

Hello?

Hey.

Mm.

How you feeling?

Oh, what happened?

Everything's okay now.

What about Shaw?

He's dead.

I'm sorry.

Oh, my God, we...

there was a...

there was a caf? and...

and a bridge, and he
tried to kill me, and...

Oh, my God, you shot him.

I couldn't let him hurt you, Sarah.

Trust me, I did what I had to do.

But I'm still the same
guy. I'm still Chuck.

I promise.

You saved me.

Chuck, Sarah, excellent work.

I've consulted with Colonel Casey,

and he brought me up to speed.

I'll expect a full report

when you get back to Burbank.

Actually, General, I
think we're gonna need

a few more days in Paris.

No, I want you back asap.

We have a new mission.

Last night a team of Peruvian
assassins broke into...

Agent Bartowski?

Agent Walker?

I've lost contact. Get them back.

I don't know...

Then shut up and kiss me.
