Can we not call ourselvesMommy
and Daddy... in the bedroom?

How 'bout... "Who's your Daddy?

" Still no.

Let Clara cry it out. It'll
prepare herfor the real world.

- Or at least,the nursery.
- You're such a good dad.

And you're a good mom.

- I can't do it!
- Ican't do it either.

What do you need,little baby? Come on.

I'm gonna treat you so

Oh,do you really?

But first,I made youa little
something. Chocolate strawberries.

They're in the fridge.

Morgan and Alexhave the living room.

What do you mean "have"?

You know,like,in college,when you

A sock? Why would you do that?

You know what? Doesn't matter.
I'm just going to go out there.

It's only been-- what?
--like five minutes.

Not a lotcould have happened by now.

Chuck
Season 04 Episode 16

Transcript by Addic7ed. It's not
a physical thing. It's,you know.

It's-it's an emotional exchange.

- Drop it,Grimes.
- We're having company?

Who... who are those guys?

NCS. They're making
some... additions to Castle.

Maybe they gotmy comment card
about the eucalyptussteam room.

They're covert ops,Bartowski.

And they have nothing
to do withyour mission.

Tonight,there was supposed tobe
a joint CIA/NSA/INTERPOL bust;

Alexei Volkoff's three
most trusted lieutenants.

We tracked them downthrough his Hydra
Network,but by the time we located them,

they were already dead.

And we believe the killer
was this man: Boris Kaminsky.

We think Boris may be trying to take controlof
Volkoff Industries by eliminating anyone else

who could make a claim to power.

Is there even anyone
leftto make a claim?

Possibly. Volkoff left detailedinformation
on every contactin the Hydra Network,

except for a womannamed Vivian McArthur.

I never heard of herwhen
I was undercover there.

That doesn't surprise me.

We believe that Volkoffwas purposely hiding
her,because sheis his chosen successor.

Which means Vivian is Boris'next target.

Well,do we knowanything about her?

The only connection we have found between
herand Volkoff is a manor in Somerset,England.

There's a party there tonight.

It's a perfect time for Boristo attack.

You need to get to Vivian before
he does and bring herback to Castle.

Uh,quick question,uh,GB.

This party,is there a themethat
we should dress towards?

Sarah,I gotta tell you,masquerades
reallycreep me out,okay?

It's like Eyes Wide
Shut,but,you know,not so boring.

Don't get me wrong,I'ma
huge Kubrick fan.

Chuck,come on. It's just a
bunchof socialites wearing masks.

Yeah,it could be that.

Or,it's a sex-crazedorgy party,where they don't
wantyou to see their faces,or know their secrets.

No,no. I've beento those kinds of
parties,and it doesn'tlook anything like this.

What? What,what,what,what? Really?

Come on,Chuck,don't be ridiculous. Look,we've
gotto find Vivian before Boris does.

You know what that means?
Time to mingle. Good luck.

No. Don't you think
weshould stay together?

Do I taste a hint of pear?

Elderflower liqueurwith
some muddled thyme.

WOMAN: You're animpressive bartender.
It's like you were bornto do this,no?

WOMAN:Thanks for the drink.

She's right. This is fantastic.

Well,it doesn'tsurprise me.

I mean,with Chuck beinga full-blown agent
now,and he and Sarah alwaystaking point.

Kind of leaves you
stuckhere,behind the bar.

I'm an integral partof this team.

Excuse me,barkeep. Might
I have an extra lime?

Ah,yes.

Thank you,dear.

And look who's talking. You
live inCharah's apartment.

That is our apartment,okay? And
Chuck and Sarah like havingme there.

We have a very... special dynamic.

:Good evening. I am Charles Carmichael.
Of the WorcestershireCarmichaels.

- Who might you be?
- I'm a heart.

How darling. Don't mind if I do. Cheers.

Hello. Enjoying the party?

I am now.

- So how do you know Vivian?
- We share a mutual friend.

Wake up,Grimes. You live with an engaged
couple. It's like you'retheir kid.

What?! That's ridiculous!

Yes,living with a couplehas its hiccups,you know,but
things are actuallyreally good at the apartment.

Well,they won'tbe that way for
long. You gotta grow up sometime.

Know what I'd do? I'd go out on
top beforethe situation gets worse.

So,tell me,do you
knowwhere to find Vivian?

Honestly,I don't even
knowwhat she looks like.

It's the first partyshe's ever thrown.

Interesting.

H-hot! Hot-hot-hot-hot!
Good show,good show!

Hot! Hot,but good. Very good!
Ah! Yes,some winewould do good.

Please,help yourself.

I'm so sorry. Was this yours?
I can get you another one.

It's okay. I've probably had enough.

I can't stop thinking aboutthat
scene from Eyes Wide Shut.

Yes! Right?

And I like the ideaof a theme party,but you put
these people behind masks and it's just gets....

- creepy.
- Yeah. And a little sexual.

Yeah.

So,Vivian-- do you knowwhere
she is by any chance?

I haven't had theopportunity
to say hello yet.

I'm sorry,I don't. But if you do find
her,please,be sure to let me know.

I'd like to thank herfor
this exquisite party.

So,how do you,uh,how do you know Vivian?

I don't think anyone reallyknows her.

And if this was her attemptto
get to know the neighbors,

we can safely saythat
she's failed miserably.

Well,at leastthere's an open bar.
I mean,she got that much right.

Do you know where I can find...

I found Boris. Casey,Boris is
here. He's wearing a green mask.

We're on it.

- We need to find Vivian.
- I think I may have just met her.

- Vivian.
- Vivian McArthur?

What are you doing here?

Whoa,what's going on?

Ms. McArthur,we know you're
anassociate of Alexei Volkoff.

Alexei Volkoff? What
are you talking about?

We're CIA. You need to come with
us. We're hereto protect you.

Protect me from what?

- Get in the stable!
- Stop! Don't move!

Kill the others. Take her alive.

Okay,we need What's the
best way out of here?

I don't know. Okay,the
house is backthat way.

Casey,we're trapped
in oneof the stables.

Copy that. We're on our way.

Some things never change.
Come on,Grimes. Let's go.

Let's do this.

What the hell was that?

This can all end now! Just
give me the key,Vivian!

What is he talking about? What key?

Look,I don't knowwhat's going on,but I
have nothing to dowith Alexei Volkoff.

I haven't seen him in years.

Then why does he payfor
the manor that you live in?

Because I'm his daughter.

Vivian,if you want
tolive,give me the key.

Look,can youplease tell
me what this is all about?

Quick version: your father
isan international arms dealer

and murderer
andall-around bad guy,okay?

No,no,my fatheris an oil executive.

Okay,look,we'll explain it later. I
have an idea. Chuck,get ready to flash.

They're trapped in
theback stables! Come on!

- What're you doing?
- We're saving you.

No,we're saving you! Get in!

You two are amazing! You
arethe best spies in the world!

Good Lord! What happened to you two?

You smell like vomitand Cheerios.

- We had a baby.
- We need help.

Follow me.

Luckily,we have
asleep-slash-baby aisle.

You need the new Sleep
Sheep. Look at this.

It says it can record
mama'ssoothing voice for the baby.

So there you go.

What is that?

I'm sorry,Jeff and Lester gottheir
hands on one of these Sleep Sheep

and didsome recording of their own.

Jeff has somestrange nap habits.
I'll have them shut it off.

No,no,no. No. Thanks for your help.

That's exactly whyI got myself snipped.

- Babe,that song...
- We need that.

Okay,I'll just goask 'em for it.

Wait,wait,wait! What if they say no?

- They can't say no.
- We should take it.

- Are you sure aboutthis?
- Oh,yeah.

Good,'cause I have a plan.

Eleanor Bartowski Woodcomb.
Hillary Rodham Clinton.

- Oh,are we notplaying that game?
- We are not.

Sorry,I came in hereto breast-feed.
somewhere else tohnurse.

Maybe I could go Perhaps the back room?

:We should follow her.

Well,I believe her.
Everything she sayschecks out.

I do,too. It seems like she has
no ideawho her father actually is.

I think he lied to herher entire life.

Then why does Boris
thinkshe has this "key"?

MORGAN: I waswondering,is it
possible I could stay withyou tonight?

No,no,it's fine. You know,it's just...

they didn't get to enjoytheir Valentine's Day
either,and it's their apartment,too,you know?

Listen,I'll,I'll handlethe paperwork
again if you guystake care of that.

Since you two got engaged,Mr. Sensitivity
might befeeling a little... irrelevant.

- I'll go talk to him.
- No,no,let me talkto Morgan.

You debrief Vivian. You know,if
he feels like the third wheel,

maybe it's becausethe two of us
only ever hang outwhen you're around.

You know,Morganand I could
use some one-on-one time.

It'll be fun!

Okay. Have fun.

Let me ask you a question.

You and I don't usually
dothis kind of thing,

so I was just wondering if
there's a reasonthat you're here.

No! No,no... I was
justlooking to... hang.

Cool,cool. Let's hang. Okay.

So,uh,I know you guys
likehaving these toys around...

- Toys?
- Yeah. Maybe we can playwith them.

Uh,yeah,sorry,sorry.

No offense,please,but
these,um,they're not toys.

They're collectibles.
They're not for playing.

Chuck and I had to poolall our
money together to get these guys.

Original 1977 Kenner line.

I'm sorry. I didn't know.

They're really fun... to look at.

The trick is Chewie always
goeson Han's right side.

Anyway,I've been arranging themthis way
since I was about 13,if you can believe that.

They're toys! They're
just toys,aren't they?!

- No,no,they're collectibles.
- They're just toys!

It's different. They have... value!

No,no,no. No,wait a minute.

Wait,you're not hereto hang!
You're here 'cause I'm a thirdwheel!

Casey was right! Oh,my God! I play
with toys! I live with a couple!

I am a child! I'm like your child.

You guys are likemy parents. Oh,my God!

No,Morgan,please,it's
okay. Calm down. It's fine.

I mean,look at this. I can't...
I can't do this anymore.

I have to grow up. I have to move out.

That's whatI have to do. I have to go.

So,my father,he actually killed people?

- Did you spend much timewith the man?
- Honestly? No.

He put me into moreschools than I can
count,sent me on tripsall over the world,

he made sure every minuteof
every day was occupied.

But he was nevera part of my life.

Or,or,uh,he was tryingto
protect you from the very dark

and dangerousworld
that he was a part of.

Yeah,maybe.

And now you have a
chanceto do what you want.

Right. Now I just have to
figure outwhat that actually is.

I mean,after the party,I'm sure we can
safely cross being a socialiteoff the list.

I can't believeI still don't
know what to do with my life.

Can I not be a spy for a second?

- Oh,please.
- Okay.

You should have seen
my lifea few years ago.

I was workinga dead-end job,I was
livingwith my sister,and then something...

an opportunity,just fell in my lap.

Afternoon,Colonel.

Paperwork,bartending,any chance that
your skillsare being wasted here?

You were at the bar.

- What are you doingin Castle?
- Director Jane Bentley,NCS.

I was in Englandto observe.

You see,I'm not like AgentsBartowski
or Walker,even General Beckman.

I see yourtrue potential.

You started working for the NSA because
you wereAmerica's best sharpshooter.

And now... you're so much
morethan this,Colonel.

It seemed that your
teamdoesn't need you anymore.

When are you finally goingto
accept that and move on?

Getting to a point?

I'm putting together a new
teamand I want you to lead them.

- What's the directive?
- You're curious. Good.

I'll be in touch.

CHUCK: I never
expectedthis to be my life.

But here I am
and-- I'm happy.

And if yougive it some time,I'm sure
that you can find thatfor you as well.

So what happens now?

Okay,well,now,probably the best thing
to dois get you into a CIA safe house.

I just told you I spentmy entire
life being hidden away by my father.

This is serious,okay? This
is very,very serious business.

Boris has gone after your father and is
taking out everyonethat was close to him.

He knows whereyou live.

Wait... Okay,so why don'twe
use that to our advantage?

- What do you mean?
- Use me as bait.

No.

This is the first opportunity
I've hadto take control of my life.

I can't let itslip away.

Charles,I know it's asking a lot,and I
knowthat I'm a Volkoff-- Will you help me?

Please?

Yes. Yes,I'll help you.

Oh,honey,I thinkI'm losing my mind.

I know. I used to love this song.

Okay,it's been two hours.

If I turn it off,do you
thinkClara will stay asleep?

It couldn'thurt to try.

- Hey,it could be worse.
- Really? Could it be?

Hey,we're doctors. We've
gone withoutsleep before.

- We were born for this.
- Okay,you're right.

Hey... Morgan,Morgan buddy,I got...

I got to packfor the mission,but Sarah
called me and saidyou were moving out.

So I told her that was,of
course,completely... ridiculous.

MORGAN:No,she's right. I'm
doing it. I'm gonna move out.

No,but see,that'stotally ridiculous.
That's what I'mtrying to say...

Morgan,look,I'm-I'm-I'mso
sorry about busting in on you

and Alexon Valentine's Day with the
bearskin rugand the... That's not the point.

The pointis,you had the
living room for 90 minutes.

We had a deal,I broke it. I'm so sorry.

I am not moving out because of
what happenedon Valentine's Day.

No,man,I'm-- I'm moving becauseit's
just,it's been a long timecoming,you know.

Neither of us wantsto admit it,but...

Admit-- admit what?
What do you mean?

Chuck,do you realize-- you and Sarah
are going to bemarried in a few months?

My friend--
married.

You guys shouldhave your
own place. It's ridiculous.

You should haveyour own place.

And you know what,I have--I
have a serious girlfriend now.

Who,by the way,takes me seriously.

I just think it's timewe both grow up.

We are grown up! Come on.

Why wouldn't you want to
livewith your two best friends?

I'm happy. Aren't youhappy? I'm happy.

Of course I'm happy.

But youknow what,we were both happy when your fatherlet
us build a fort in the attic and sleepthere all summer.

- That was a great summer.
- That was a good time.

But things change,and uh...
It's not really a bad thing.

I think it's goingto be okay.

- Where you going to go?
- I don't know.

I got to finish packing up,and then I'm going to headout that
door,dude,and I'm just going to openmyself up to the universe.

- So,movingto your mom's?
- Yeah,yeah.

Pretty much straight over.

Come on,this is okay. This is okay.

Bright side-- this is not going
to behard to split up,okay?

I've done most of it.

From what I can figure,original
super NESwith Donkey Kong-- yours.

Right,sure.

And you'll be takingall the Hong Kong
wire-fu and Miyazaki flicks,I assume?

You know what happenswhen you assume.

- You're usually correct.
- Yeah.

I guess reallyall that's left to
take into considerationis our,uh...

Han Solo and Chewbaccaoriginal
'77 Kenner lineCollector's edition.

- We went in onthese together,buddy.
- Sure did.

So we just each take one?

No,no. That's crazy talk.
We can't split 'em up.

You can't separateHan and Chewie.

Chewie's Han's first mate and
constant companion. What up?

Plus,they're worth
more-- as a set,so...

So we should sell them.

Look,we don't needto decide right now.

We can sleep on it.
We can decide tomorrow.

Totally.

You know,I've gota big
mission ahead of me.

Right. Yeah,sure you do.

And you know what,I have so
much morepacking to do,and...

So I'll just-- I'll just-- I'll just
sleep withhim tonight in my room.

Not sleep with him. I
wouldn't sleepwith him.

But he's going to bein my room,you know.

And you know,Chewiewill just stay
with me. For the night,obviously.

Obviously,obviously.

- Okay,then.
- Okay.

- Chuck,iseverything okay?
- Yeah,yeah.

I was just resting--
stretching. I was stretching.

I find the wall to have...
It's a lower lumbar thing.

- So I'm fine,I'm good.
- I'm sorry about Morgan.

It's fine. I'm fine. He's
fine. We're fine,so...

How's the...? How's the packing
for the mission going? You ready?

Yeah.

CASEY:Well,if we're going to use
Boris's knowledge of youto our advantage,

we're going to haveto know the details.

Walk us throughan average day.

We need to figure outwhen
you're most vulnerable.

Odds are Boris is doingthe
exact same thing right now.

I wake up at 6:00. I make breakfast...

Get dressed... and then I take
Artemis outfor a morning walk.

Hello,Vivian.

How do I look?

You said the detailsare important,right?

Here. Wear this.

Are you okay?

Well,shouldn't I be the one
that goes into the woods?

CHUCK: Absolutely not. You should
stay herewith me,where it's safe.

Everything's going to befine. Trust
me,Sarah's hadyears of training.

And Casey will be watchingmy every move.

I'm at the north gate. If
Boris attacks,he'll do it here.

This is it.

Are you sureshe'll be all right?

CHUCK:She always is.

Everything looks clear. I've
got a mileuntil the gate.

I'll be waiting.

It's time.

- Casey,something's wrong.
- I'm coming to you.

Coming,Walker.

Sarah? What's happening?
Casey,what's wrong?

Is everything okay?

You stay inside. You shouldn't
be out here. It's too dangerous.

Where's Sarah? Casey,where are you?

60 seconds out. Stay with
Vivian. I'm on my way.

What do you think you're doing?

I'm not doing this anymore. I'm
not lettinganyone die for me.

I have spent my wholelife
hiding,Charles. It ends today.

All right,let's do this.

- It's not Vivian.
- Then kill her and find Vivian.

She's the only onewho has what we want.

Walker. Walker?

SARAH:There's too many of
them. Go and get Chuck. okay?

Shut up. You know I'm
notleaving you here.

Let's get you undercover.

The road's just up ahead.
You okay back there?

Yeah--
yeah,yeah.

We got company.

I didn't spend ten years
inequestrian school for nothing.

VIVIAN:Do you think we lost them?

I don't know.

I know. No,we haven't!

Go,Artemis,go.

CHUCK:They're gaining on us.

Come on,come on.

CHUCK:Listen,it's only a matter
of timetill they catch us.

We're carryingtoo much weight.

Well,what doyou suggest?

Plan B. Don't stop for anything.

That was kind of cool.
Sarah,Casey,where are you?

:Hey. Sarah...

Where's Vivian?

Chuck,I've reached the stables.

We're on our way. Good. Stay there.

BORIS:Vivian.

What do you know,Alexei
Volkoff has a daughter.

Must have taken a lot of work
for themto keep you under wraps.

Now just give me the keyand
I'll make it painless,I promise.

My father never gave meany key.

Yes,sweetheart,he did.
When you were young.

A token of his affection.
Think hard,Vivian.

- Where is it?
- I don't know.

None of this makes any sense.

My father-- he didn't want
meto be involved in any of this.

Really?

You were skeet shootingat age seven,had
yourblack belt at 13 and by the time

you graduated fromthe London School of
Economics,you were fluentin five languages.

Your whole lifeyour
father's been grooming you.

You are hissuccession plan.

But he was wrong about you.

See,he couldn't recognize what you really
are-- an indecisive,weak little girl.

*****

Boris would have killed you.

CHUCK:But now he's gone. And the
rest of thelieutenants are dead.

There's no one left to put the piecesof
Volkoff Industries back together.

What happens to it now?

Without a leader,your father's empire is
just an emptyoffice building in Moscow.

CHUCK: Uh,Vivian,did Boristell
you anything about the key?

What he waslooking for?

No,he didn't. Sorry.

CASEY:Time to go.

You sure you'llbe all right?

Yeah. I can't thank you enough.
For your advice,everything,Charles.

I think it's time I figured outwhat
to do with the rest of my life.

Well,I'm sure you'llthink of something.

Bye.

So this is,uh... This is it,huh?

Yeah. Yeah,this is it.

Buddy,I know you'recommitted
to moving out,and I get it,

butI can't tell you enough
how much Sarahand I love you.

And love having you here.

I love being here.

It would be easy to leaveif
things sucked,or you know...

And I need to grow up.

Maybe that means leaving
behindsomething that's great,too.

The end of an era.

It is indeed.

Obviously,we'll stillhave
game night,though.

Every Monday.

So what's going to
happenwith Han and Chewie,huh?

Where are they? Did
yousell them already?

Well,I mean,Chewie's Han's
first mate and constantcompanion.

It just didn't seemright
to separate them.

More importantly,I thoughtthey
should stay in the family.

You moved herinto the nursery?
You think she'sready for that?

Honey,she'sthree months old. It's
time for Clarato be in her own room.

Besides,she's notalone in there.

Which means,uh,we can be all alone.

I am way ahead of you.

I already have our outfitslaid
out and ready to go.

I've been waiting forthis
since Clara was born.

-i love you.
- i love you too.

CASEY: I want you to let
youknow,I'm not leaving my team.

What I have here is good.

Of course it is,but
you'vebeen here for four years.

Longer than any
otherassignment you've had.

These people meana lot to you.

For God's sake,you savedAgent
Walker's life today.

But you're not going to spend the rest
ofyour career with this team,and you know it.

Sooner or later,you're going
to haveto move on,Colonel.

Why not today,when
you can go out on top?

I'm not leaving Burbank.

You won't have to.

The mission's right here.
