Chuck (2007–2012): Season 3, Episode 17 - Chuck Versus the Living Dead - full transcript

Chuck's father returns when he finds out Chuck uploaded the new Intersect. Chuck enlists the help of Morgan on a new mission.

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

Your dreams are also proof

of stress the Intersect puts
on your brain,

likely leading
to serious

mental deterioration.

Shaw, you're not
bleeding anymore.

That's right, Chuck,
I'm not.

What does that mean?

It means I'm still alive.

You work for the CIA?
This is about your father.

There are some very bad
people looking for him,



including a man
named John Casey.

Last time he left, he made sure
that I had a way to contact him.

Justin.

Ellie, hey.

Hey, I contacted my dad.

Can we meet?

Yeah, same place
as last time, okay?

Okay, I'll be there
in ten minutes.

Hey,

Morgan, hey, buddy.

Listen, I had another dream
last night.

It was about Shaw.

No, I haven't told Sarah yet.

Yes, I realize that honesty
is important in a relationship.



Who do you think I am?

Listen, just meet me at the
Buy More in, like, ten or 15.

Okay?

Whose relationship are
you talking about? Huh?

Uh... Morgan's, Morgan's.

Yeah, Morgan and Anna,
the past-

he's just been really tore up
about her lately, so...

Oh, I thought he
rejected her recently.

He did, he did, he did,

but the heart is a...
is a very, it's...

the heart is
a very complicated muscle.

Have I told you how beautiful
you look this morning?

I mean, just... aah!

Really,
and you smell...

...fantastic, too.

Oh, hey, maybe that was
just the Pop-Tart.

I got to go, bye.

Bye.

Wait, wait,

you dreamt Shaw was alive?

Chuck, you saw
him die, though.

You checked for
a pulse, right?

Well, he fell
into a river.

He fell into a river?!
Of course Shaw's alive!

Haven't you ever seen
a John Carpenter movie?

Buddy, are you going
to help me or what?

I can't tell Sarah
until I'm absolutely sure

because she has...
History with the man.

I know, I'm aware.

Chuck, the thing is:
if he's alive,

then he knows
everything about her

and he knows
everything about you,

everything about me- where I
work, where I live, what I eat,

shower...
Hey, buddy, hey, yo, Morgan.

This is
why we are going

to find him and figure out
what he's up to, okay,

but first I need to take care
of a few things here.

Remember, though,
this is between you and I.

Stay between me and you.

Okay, no problem, absolutely.

Listen, do me a favor:

before you go,
can you key me into Castle?

I left something down there.

Look, if you're
really afraid of Shaw,

I'll let you down there for
a little while. Thank you.

Thank you, you are a
lifesaver, sir, literally.

Yeah, good, okay, fine,
just-just don't touch anything.

Okay?
All right.

Okay, okay, okay.

Good, good, good, good.

Yes, oh, baby.

Come on.
Morgan.

What are you doing here?

Is Chuck up to something?

I don't know, you tell me.

You'd know better than I would.

Hey, have you seen, uh,

where they keep
the bulletproof pants?

You know, Morgan,
you and I-

we, uh, we never
talk, really.

Yeah, well,
talking's a bit overrated.

Plus, we don't have
a lot in common,

although I'd like to get
to know you better.

I mean, I don't feel
like there's...

Sit.
Okay.

You're going
to tell me

exactly what's going on and
you're going to do it right now.

Reviewing pictures
of people you killed?

I do that myself
from time to time.

No.

Chuck.

Chuck, we goa problem, bro.

Sarah knows about Shaw.

Yeah, yeah,
I broke, man.

Okay, y-your lady's
really intimidating.

You know, I tried
to make eye contact,

but she just kind of kept
pulling me in with this...

this gaze.

Morgan, how could you poss...
W- what is, what...?

Is that a bulletproof vest?

No, is that a
bulletproof tie?

I don't...

I don't know what...
Give me a break.

That's my dad.

Why is my dad here?

What's the problem?
He thinks

I quit the CIA the night
of Ellie's wedding.

He does not know that
I downloaded the Intersect 2.0.

W- W-W-Wait,

wait, you didn't tell him?

Well, he spent
so much time

getting the damn thing
out of my ad.

Why would I tell him that?
Mush, mush, mush, mush.

Hi, hey, Dad, hi.

How are you?

What, uh, what are you...
what are you doing here?

Your sister contacted me.

I wanted to check
with you and make sure

that everything was okay.

Is that...?

Is that John Casey?

That is John Casey.

Of course, yeah,
you know that he works here.

Why? He's an NSA agent,

and if the Intersect
project was disbanded,

why would he...?

Shaw?

Sarah, you remember
my father.

Oh, hi, Mr. Bartowski.

I- It's great
to see you.

Why is your handler here?

Handler... no.

Oh, you've been
out of the loop,

so I can't expect you
to know this,

but-but Sarah and I are
boyfriend and girlfriend now.

Hi, sweetie.

Tell me that you're not
in the CIA anymore.

Tell me that you quit.

Dad, the Intersect
is out of my head.

I've moved on.

I can assure you-
we can assure you...

...that I am no longer a spy.

You know me,
I wouldn't lie.

This is Incredible.

From the outside it looks like
a regular office building.

Well, that's the point.

We're the CIA.

Nothing's what it seems.

Right this way.
Okay.

So you were able
to contact your dad?

You could say that.

He's, uh,

he's a little neurotic.

A coded message in the
classified section is his way

of getting
in tch with me.

Perfect.

So, once he tells
you where he lives,

we'll be able to protect him
and you can tell him everything.

What about John Casey?

If he's
a double agent...

Ellie, he's been living
in your building

for three years, just observing.

There's no reason to think
that'll change now.

But... this may put
your mind at ease.

That's a speaker.

I don't understand.

Like I said, nothing's
what it seems.

It's not really
a speaker.

It'll protect you.

It'll block all of Agent
Casey's audio and visual reads

on the courtyard,

and, Ellie, if you
ever feel nervous,

even for a second,
just call me.

You know you can trust me,
right?

I do.

I think you should tell
your dad the truth.

I mean, you need to be honest
with the people that you love,

and that goes
for me, too.

I know, I know,
Sarah, I'm sorry.

I wanted to tell you about
Shaw, but it was just a dream,

and I-and I wanted to be
sure before I worried you.

But if you dreamt
that Shaw was alive,

then you dreamt it
for a reason.

I mean, the doctor said
that you're healthy

and that your dreams could be
as accurate as your flashes.

Right?
Ye... uh, yeah,

yeah, that's right.
Let's hope so.

I'm not letting you go to
Beckman till we know for sure.

I ran a scan on all of
Shaw's known aliases.

No activity since Paris.

I think our best shot
at finding him is Walker.

Why?

W- Why?

She has an... intimate knowledge
of the target.

I think "intimate" is a-is a
bit of a... bit of a stretch.

If Walker goes through all
the places she went with Shaw,

all the things they did,

maybe you'll flash

on something that leads to him.

Would you be okay
with that, Chuck?

Of course. Of course.

Why wouldn't I b

So, what exactly
did you and Shaw do

when you were in D.C.?

Casey...

...they were in and out of
meetings all day, every day.

I mean, the trip
was purely spy-related.

All business, no pleasure.

Well,

Walker, I have
here a receipt

from a waterfront
restaurant named Le Jardin.

Two chef's
tasting menus,

couple of nice
bottles of Pinot...

Doesn't sound like business
to me.

After our couples massage,
he toome to Tiffany's.

Did he buy you
anything? Please.

Everybody knows that you go to
Tiffany's to browse, not buy.

Are those new earrings,
Agent Walker?

Okay, so, on March 22,

you and Shaw were off-
grid the whole day.

What exactly
were you doing?

Objection.
Relevance?

What was so compelling
that you didn't check in?

We spent the day in his
loft downtown, okay,

at the Hoff Building.

Mm-hmm.

Was it the penthouse?

Yes.

Did you flash?

Shaw ordered the CIA
to construct

a TR-15 safe in his penthouse.

Whatever he's hiding in there
could lead us to him.

Looks like we're going to get
to see Shaw's bachelor pad,

although for some of us,
it won't be the first time.

♪ Ooh, ooh, love hurts ♪

♪ Love scars ♪

Hey.

Excuse me.
Yes?

Please, stop.

Awkward.

And cruel, but not incorrect,

because you are not playing
from your soul.

You're soulless
in Seattle.

That's quite a wad of cash you
hustled on Buy More property.

Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa.
This is our dream.

We're on break.
You can't touch us.

I don't want
to touch you.

I want to help you.

In case you forgot,

I know a thing or two
about management.

You're too good
to be playing

outside a chain
electronics store.

If I was your manager,

you might be playing inside
a chain electronics store.

Yeah, we've already
played the Buy More.

We don't need you.
I'm listening.

What?

Having a manager
means having respect.

How many times do I have
to tell you? Art: good.

Commercialism:
bad, evil, weird... chubby.

But you know what?
I'm... I'm tired of it.

You want his empty words and
his razzmatazz wordplay,

you take it.
You take it, and you go solo,

and you see how that
works out for you.

Just try and stop me
from walking away.

Just try and stop me.

You just try.

You try and stop me from...

You're not going to even...?

That's what...
you know what, fine.

But I'm ing to take something
with me

that you can never have back.

The 'ster!

As in Jeffster!

Take the...

Dad.

What is going on?

How did you
get in here?

Ellie, hi.
Hi.

Dad, I told you that I
wanted to come to you.

You shouldn't...

What are you doing here?

Why do my children
always ask me that?

You're my daughter.

Of course, I'm going
to come to you.

Yeah, but...
And this is safer.

Okay? I-I-I...
I thought you'd be happy.

I am. I'm happy.
I'm happy.

I'm just...
I'm surprised.

In a good way.

Oh.

Good.

Shaw was a part
of our team for months.

He knows everything-
all of our weaknesses-

including this place.

I'm worried he's going
to come after Ellie.

We don't know what
he wants. Exactly.

Which is why I
need your help.

I need you to look after her
for me, make sure she's okay.

Until we know
what Shaw wants,

Ellie Bartowski
has a second shadow.

STEVE
No.

No, you were five,
and-and-and you refused

to get out of the car for school
unless you were wearing

the Hawkman costume
that Ellie made.

It's true.

I think... I think I still have

that Thanagarian helmet,
actually.

Dad, how do you
even remember that?

I... you know, I remember
a lot of things.

Uh...

So, what do you guys want
to do tonight?

Oh, actually, you know
what, I've got a...

kind of a date night with Sarah.

We're going to be staying
downtown tonight.

Sorry- it was kind of
a last minute thing, so...

Well, uh, it'll just be
you and me, then.

It'll be great.

We can talk about whatever it
is you wanted to talk about.

Oh, no. You know what?

This is, uh...
this is the hospital.

I... I got to go.

I'm still tying up loose ends
from that Africa trip.

You went to Africa?

Yeah. It's...
it's such a long story.

I'll-I'll be back soon, okay?

Stay here.

Justin, thank God you called.

My dad, he just surprised me.

He's here.
In Echo Park?

I thought you
were getting his address.

He just showed up. What do I do?

John Casey's home.

Okay. It's going to be fine.

Meet me
at Bellevue Square alone,

and we'll figure out what to do
about your dad.

Okay.

So, this last-minute trip
with Sarah-

you're not going on some sort
of a mission, are you?

Dad, we just had a
really nice meal, okay?

What's with all
the spy questions?

Because I don't know anything
about your life,

and I'm here,

and I-I'm trying to figure out
what I missed,

I see one thing.

Casey works at the Buy More.

Sarah lives with you, and...

this is an active
surveillance wire.

Okay?

And your computer
is still tapped in

to the CIA mainframe.

So, you tell me
again, Charles,

that you're not involved
in anything dangerous,

that you're...
that you're not a spy.

Okay, I will occasionally
do some analysis work

for the CIA.
It's a desk job.

It's a glorified
paper pusher. Charles.

Dad, I sit behina desk,
and I input data

a couple of times a month.
It's nothing dangerous.

And this... this thing tonight
with Sarah?

Is really just a night away
with my girlfriend.

You have nothing
to worry about, Dad.

I'm just an analyst.

Did your ears just pop?

Hey, it's me.

Uh, I'm here and you're not.

I really need to see you.

Devon thinks
that I'm at the hospital.

It's just... it's getting harder
and harder to lie.

Please call me, okay?

So, this is Shaw's
penthouse, huh?

Yep.

Great. I'll check over here.

I found the safe.

Where's the safe?

Put these on.

Hey.

How do... how do you...
how do you get to it?

Oh, it's password-protected.

We're going
to be here a while.

Well, maybe we start
with something common.

You know, birthday,
pet's name... your name.

It's Shaw.

Go, go, go, go!

Wait, wait,
wait, wait! No.

We need to know what
Shaw wants first.

Okay? You get the briefcase;
I'll make the jump.

Okay. Well, just be careful.

Okay. Come on, Intersect.

What do you got for me?

This should be interesting.

Shaw.

Shaw is dead.

Care to join him?

Did you get him?
Did you get him?

If you... if you did,
make sure and check his pulse.

But help me first. Okay,
hold on. I'm coming, Chuck.

Help me first before you
check his pulse. Help me.

Sarah, he's coming back.
He's coming back.

Dad.

Just an analyst, huh?

So, this is my office.

Pretty...
pretty sleek, huh?

Why weren't you here,

sitting at one of
these computers

instead of dangling
from a rooftop?

Why are you still
lying to me?

Dad, it's like...
it's like I told you.

The government sees a lot
of potential in me, you know,

so General Beckman asked
if I would work

as an analyst for the CIA,
and then every once in a while,

I'll still go off on,
you know,

a little field mission.

Could you excuse me
just for one second?

And please don't touch
any of the computers.

'Cause I know you want to,
but don't do that.

So, the guy on the roof-
who was he?

Couldn't get a good
look at our mystery man

from the building's
security cam footage.

How'd he know about the loft?

Best guess: when you
accessed the penthouse,

you triggered some
sort of alert.

He was after this.

Lockbox.
Just like the one

Evelyn Shaw had.

Okay, well,
why does Shaw have one?

It's essentially a spy's

last will and testament.

All spies keep a record

of the information
they might lose

if they get killed
on a mission.

In Shaw's case,
all the information

that the CIA has on the Ring.

My bet is they're going
to want this back.

100 bucks says he's
working for them.

And if the Ring
is looking for this,

then it must mean
that Shaw is dead.

"My name is Daniel Shaw,

and if you are reading this,
it means I'm already dead."

I was wrong.

Wrong about what?

I've heard the name,
Daniel Shaw, before.

He... he's a special agent

for the CIA-
a Ring expert.

I take it that's his lockbox.

What happened?

That mission's over, Dad.

No, it's never over.

There will always be another one
and another and...

The reason a spy
has to have one of those

is because any mission
they go on could be their last.

For every spy, there's
someone who cares about them.

Someone who has
to open that box,

read that message,
and mourn their loss.

This is a bad business.

And I don't want my
family any part of it.

Sorry I didn't make it
to the square.

It's fine. Are you okay?
What happened?

I wish I could
tell you,

but the most pressing issue
is what to do about your father.

Do what? John Casey's
watching us like a hawk.

That's why
we've devised a new plan,

but it's going to require
some real spy work on your part.

Shaw is alive, okay.

And he's bringing a reckoning
with him.

Ah. No one told you, huh?

Shaw's dead.

No. No. Chuck said.
He... Bartowski's wrong.

Oh, thank God. Thank God.

Man, someone could have given me
a heads-up here.

I've had to pee
for, like, the last four hours.

But I'm not here for that.

Listen, would Ellie cheat
on Devon for any reason?

John Casey, if I had the
height or the willpower,

I would slap you across
the face right now, okay?

No, Ellie is
not a cheater.

The only way
she'd ever step out

was with someone
that she's known her whole life,

someone she trusts.

A childhood friend perhaps.
I don't know.

Mm-hmm. I tapped into her phone.

She left this strange message.

I really need to see you.

Devon thinks
that I'm at the hospital.

It's just... it's getting harder
and harder to lie.

That's Ellie.

Oh...

Oh, man.

So what's the deal?

You've done well, John,

but you're a man who lacks tact
and interpersonal skill.

Okay, on behalf
of the family,

I'll speak to the
husband, all right?

This is not gonna be fun.

Devon, yeah, so you think
Ellie's happy in your marriage?

Of course.

Why? Did she
say something?

No. No, not exactly,
but I feel pretty confident

that if there is something
wrong, it's your fault.

So, take me through
an average day, and then,

you talk, I find the problem.

Okay.

Well, most mornings,
I wake up around 6:00,

I pop a towel in the dryer

so it's warm when she
gets out of the shower.

I'll whip her up a
Belgian waffle, or,

you know, goat cheese omelet.

Something easy.

After Ellie's
daily foot rub,

I'll bike to the
farmer's market,

pick up some fresh blueberries,

or you know,
whatever's in season.

Come home, make
her a smoothie.

Organic nonfat milk,

flaxseed oil.

You know, something to give her
a real midday kick start.

Once we're in bed,

post-lavender bath,

I spend about 20 minutes
just watching her sleep.

She looks so
peaceful.

It's, like, what's she dreaming
about, you know?

Anyway, that's my day,
give or take.

Yeah.

Hey, Dad.

Is everything okay?

I- I just keep thinking.

Without the Intersect...

...why would they let you go
on missions?

I mean,

you're-you're...
you're an ordinary guy.

I'm not.

I'm not an ordinary guy.

The CIA wants me
to work for them

because they think I'm special.

'Cause they believe in me.

You're right, Charles.

You are special.

I knew it.

You downloaded
the Intersect 2.0.

You threw a knife at my face.

Why would you do that?

After I worked so hard
to get the first one out.

Dad, knife! Face!

What if you
were wrong?

I'm never wrong.

Charles,

there's something
that I never told you.

The Intersect-

it can have a negative effect
on the brain.

Hold-Hold... Hold on.

What? You... you knew?

You-you knew,
and you didn't tell me?!

I didn't think
I had to tell you.

You didn't tell me
you downloaded the new one!

But that's because I knew
you would disapprove of it.

And-and... you know what?
And you left.

Again.

You taught me and Ellie
how to live life without you,

and that's exactly
what I'm doing.

I... I have to go.

Right now.

What?

Wait. Wait. Dad. Dad,
where-where are you going?

I'm sorry.

I can't stay here
and watch my son die.

Dad?

You're-you're leaving?

Weren't you going
to say good-bye?

Oh. Sorry. I'm, uh...

I still don't even know
what's wrong,

why you wanted me here.

Nothing. Nothing's wrong, Dad.

Oh.

I just, uh... I missed you,

and I wanted to make sure
that you were okay.

Oh, okay.

Well, you-you don't have
to worry about-about me,

uh, Eleanor.

Um,

this time,

I won't be gone as long,
I promise.

Okay.
Okay.

Take care of yourself?

I did it.

I planted the tracer.

Nice work, Ellie.

You've guaranteed
your father's protection.

Where's your dad?

He found out I was
the Intersect, and he left.

Chuck, he must have had
a good reason.

He loves you.

I know. I-I...

I know that he loves me.

He just doesn't know me.

He doesn't know anything
about me.

Why I became the Intersect,

that-that...
that I can help people.

That for the first time
in my life,

what I do actually
means something.

Did you tell him that?

No.

I guess I didn't.

But I can't talk to him now

because he's gone,
and I don't know where he lives.

I do.

It's gonna work.

In the event
that your dad ran off,

I wanted you to be able
to find him, so...

I took this.

Your misdemeanor aside,

my dad is an incredibly
paranoid person,

and I'm sure that this isn't
his real address. Oh, I know.

But it was issued
by the Bishop County DMV,

and I checked all
the utilities databases,

and this is the only house

without cable,
water and gas,

but also consumes an incredible
amount of electricity, so,

I'm pretty sure
that's your dad's house.

Wow. That's so...

Spyish?

Well,

I am a spy.

Yeah. We're at the house.

Good. Don't call me again
until you have it.

Well, this must be it.

I'm just gonna go in there
and tell him how I feel.

Do you want me
to come with you?

No, it's okay.

But if I'm not back
in 20 minutes, you come save me.

Okay.

Where is it?

I don't know
what you're talking about.

Yes, you do.

My employer knows that
you have an Intersect.

Where's the thing
that's keeping you alive?

Dad, it's me.

Don't worry.
I'm alone.

Cut it. We'll make this
look like an accident.

Oh, that. Oh, that.
That-that's not safe.

That's not safe.
He shouldn't be doing that.

Mr. Bartowski,

this will all be
a lot less painful

if you tell me
where the Governor is.

I don't even know what
you're talking about.

Not you. Your father.

Aha.

What is he
talking about?

The Governor!

Oh.

It's the watch, isn't it?

No.

Tie them up.
Dad.

And let's clear out.

We don't want to be here

when this place goes up.

Sorry about this.

You shouldn't
have come here.

I didn't want to drag you
into anything.

Dad... Dad I came up.

I came up here because I wanted

to tell you why
I downloaded the Intersect,

that I'm... that I'm special,
and that I can help people.

But given the circumstances,

I think
I'm just gonna have to show you.

No guns!
The gas!

That's a good idea.

Does she have
the Intersect, too?

No, Dad.

That's all her.

Hi, honey.

Hey, come in.

I don't know
how the Ring found my cabin.

But I do know what they...
what they came for.

I call it the Governor

'cause it sort of
governs the Intersect.

See, I realized
through the years that...

that, just like a computer,

that th-the,
the Intersect can overheat.

Is that what's happening to me?

Yeah, see,
your brain is like a circuit,

and when you flash, it releases
a surge of electrical energy,

but if it's not controlled,
it can lead to dementia

a- a-and insanity,
maybe even death,

but I've been working on a fix

a- and this is the closest

that I've gotten to one.

See, i-it, um, it governs
my neural network

and helps control the
power of the Intersect,

almost like a, uh,

like a pacemaker would
for the heart.

Could something like that
work for the 2.0?

Well, I couldn't tell you
about it until now

'cause I needed to go back
to my cabin to be sure,

but, Charles, i-it will.

I'm gonna make you one.

You're my son,

and you downloaded the 2.0

for the same reason I created
the original: to help people.

You want to be a spy.

I'm gonna do
everything I can to...

help you be the man
you want to be.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Lester, I want to help you be
the man you ought to be.

It's too late.

Jeff will be huge here,
then he'll be huge in Japan,

and then it's over.

Boy, don't you see?

The man made a banner
that said "Jef"

as if it were a question.

He doesn't know
who he is without you.

You're more than just
the 'ster in Jeffster!

You're the 'ster
that stirs the drink.

I won't be fooled
by corporate trickery.

I will never bow down
to the man.

I'm not the man.

I'm a man...

a man who once had
a dream, too.

You ever heard
of Earth, Wind & Fire?

Yeah, they jammed.

For a short time in 1988,

we were called
Earth, Wind, Fire & Rain.

I was Rain.

Excuse me, guys.

Can I speak to you
for a second, please?

Excuse me.

Yeah.

I talked
to Captain Awesome.

And?

If he'd have me,
I'd let him.

Look, what I'm saying is:

as much as it pains me
to say it,

if there's a problem here,
it's on Ellie's side.

Hey, look,
let me ask you something:

why are you even doing this?

I gave Chuck my word I'd make
sure his sister was okay.

You know what?

Awesome is volunteering
at the animal shelter,

Ellie is working
the late shift.

The apartment should be
completely empty.

Perfect.

I'm gonna go take a look.

JUSTIN Ellie, are
you with your husband?

No, my husband's not home.

Everybody thinks
that I'm working.

Okay, do you expect them back

anytime soon?

No, it's safe.

You're sure?

Yeah, you can come here.

Good, I'm already on my way.

Oh, okay, good.

There's someone in the house.

How close are you?

I'm close,
but I may not get there in time.

Go to the speaker.

Okay.

Now open it.

How?

Press all three buttons at once
and wait for a click.

Justin, no, I can't, I can't.

Someone's in your house, Ellie.

He could hurt you,
hurt your family.

Now take the gun.

Ellie, wait!

Justin,

Justin, John Casey...
Don't worry,

you're safe, come with me.

Hey.

What's wrong?

I've been thinking about what
happened at the cabin and...

how you almost died.

You know, everything
that your dad said

about the life
that we've chosen-

he's right.

What we do
is not safe.

I want you to have this.

My spy will.

Why are you giving me this?

Chuck, this is me.

It's everything I
know, it's my life,

and if something were
to happen to me...

Well, if anyone's going to
have it, I want it to be you.

Nothing's going
to happen to you.

You're not going
anywhere.

And neither am I.

You'll be safe here
until we figure out

what to do about
John Casey.

I'm so sorry, I just...
I couldn't, I couldn't...

Is my dad going
to be okay?

Don't worry, he's protected.
What about my husband, though?

What about my brother?

They're fine, I promise.

You've done everything
we've asked, Ellie.

You've been
incredibly brave,

and trust me, this
is almost over.

Now wait here.

I'll be back soon.

"My name is Chuck Bartowski,

"and if you're reading this,
it means I'm already dead.

I don't know
what will end up killing me..."

"...but I've chosen
to be a spy,

"and there are consequences
to that.

"It may be my emotions
that end up doing me in..."

"...or a slip-up, trying
to protect my friends..."

"...or my family..."

"...who never wanted me
to be a part of this."

My team was captured.

This needs to happen now-
no more waiting.

"Or it could be
the thing I never saw coming,

but I know it's coming."
