Chuck (2007–2012): Season 4, Episode 20 - Chuck Versus the Family Volkoff - full transcript

When the CIA targets Vivian Volkoff for assassination, Chuck turns to an unusual ally to protect her: Vivian's father, Alexei. Ellie suspects her mother doesn't want her to find out about her father's past.

Hi I'm Chuck.

Here are a few things,that
you might need to know: Wait...

Vivian Volkoff is trying to kill me?

It appears she's going after
the man who took down her father.

CAPTAIN: I've got some bad news.

Ellie's been working
on your dad's computer.

My dad was trying to figure out a way

to input knowledge into the human
brain without having to learn it.

CHUCK : Replace the computer's hard drive
with a blank one when Ellie's not looking.

I'm great Mom,you know?

Uh,she's sleeping halfway
through the night,now.



And Devon has that breast-feeding
simulator which is great,so...

I'm-I'm fine.

You know I love babysitting my
granddaughter,but I am a trained spy.

What gives?

I didn't want to say anything until
I had any solid conclusions,but...

Is that your father's old computer?

Yeah. I found it underneath
the seat of his Mustang.

I had a major breakthrough
a few days ago,

and then I found thousands of pages that
I've never seen before,all labeled X.

How far into them are you?

Not very.

But there's references in here
to you and Dad,and this Agent X.

Do you... know anything about this?

No. Did you happen to
run this by your brother?



No. I don't want Chuck involved.

I mean,obviously this has
to do with Dad's spy life.

Look at this.

This Intersect project: downloading
information into the human brain.

This is amazing stuff.

I've never heard of it.

Do you think that Dad actually had the
Intersect up and running with this Agent X?

I really don't know,honey. I don't know.

All right. I'm going to
go give Clara her bottle.

I'll be back.

: Oh,Stephen,what did you do?

Eddard,you don't let
your kids keep a direwolf.

That's a terrible idea.

Are you ready to head out?

Will you sign these
when you get a chance?

Just wedding prep docs.

"Prospective husband...
Prospective wife...

" "Legally binding... prenuptial...

" Prenup?

There's Post-it notes
on the signature pages.

Just sign and date.

I forgot to shower.

Why don't you go in,and I'll
just get a ride from Morgan.

You didn't shower this morning?

Just the body. Not the hair.

So now I feel dirty,smelly,European.

Okay,okay.

I will see you there.

Great.

MORGAN: Prenup? Geez... I-I
thought things were going so well.

It was.

Is.

She's just taking precautions. You
know,half of all marriages go down.

Well...

It's good to see yours is going so well.

Hilarious. But you know what? It works.

So you?

Spending a little money on the side?

And maybe some secret gambling
debts I don't know about?

Of course not. You know me. I...

I don't know why she'd do this.

Look,something has got
your girl's dukes up,okay?

Get the facts.

Smaller bites,please.

Don't henpeck.

You overanalyze everything,Bartowski.

You talk every issue to death.

It's exhausting.

MORGAN: I'm exhausted just sitting here.

- I really do that?
- Spies have secrets.

If you're going to take it to the next level
with Walker,you have to understand that.

Sign the papers. Be cool.

Yeah,Chuck. Be cool.

Be cool.

It's kind of new territory
for me,honestly. Cool.

CHUCK: Good advice.

Well,I'm just going to get out of
here before I'm scarred for life.

Mail call.

Thank you,sir.

Me,me...

CASEY: Alex's return
address. Looks like an invite.

No,a love letter,I think.

Invite. What is it,Grimes? Spill.

An invite to Alex's graduation.

Look,she desperately wanted
to invite you,all right?

But,technically speaking,in her mother's
eyes,anyway,you are still sort of,well,mostly dead.

She just can't.

Stupid of me to think otherwise.

Duty calls.

Team,as you know,the bombs planted in
Castle have Volkoff parts and design.

Vivian Volkoff Langley has
tagged as the responsible party.

They put out a kill order.

Off parts? What?

Two men dead,Bartowski.

But it could be a rogue
in Volkoff's organization.

Look,all I'm saying is that
I've spent time with Vivian,okay?

And she's not a cold-blooded killer.

Just give me a chance to
persuade her to come in.

- She worked for us; we owe her that.
- We don't owe her squat.

I'll compromise. Set a meet with Vivian.

Casey,prep a sniper team.If
she gets hostile,take her down.

Roger that.

No matter how much you believe in this
broad,remember she's still a Volkoff.

Don't let him get to you.
He's just being Casey.

Sure. No,it's... it's cool.

Look,I know I sprung those
papers on you this morning.

So,uh,I assume you
want to talk about it?

No. Prenup.

Signed,sealed,delivered.

So,we better gear up,huh?

CASEY : I'm in position.

She makes one wrong
move,I take the shot.

Look,Chuck,a prenup doesn't
mean the end of our marriage.

Well,look,hey,you're-you're a spy,and spies
have secrets they need to protect; that's cool.

No. I-I don't keep secrets from you.

- It's just,uh,family stuff.
- Got it. Done.

Yeah. Cool.

CASEY: Heads up. Here they come.

Okay.

I'm here in the middle
of nowhere... why?

Volkoff bombs were planted in Castle.

Two men died,and the CIA
holds you responsible.

I... I would never do that.

I'm a business woman; I'm trying to make
Volkoff Industries into a legitimate enterprise.

I gave INTERPOL a list of every black-market
agent; I swept out all the old operatives;

I even brought you something.

From an arsenal of my
father's deadliest weapons.

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

Look,I want nothing to
do with my father's world.

Please,do you trust me?

Hit the ground.

SARAH: Casey,stand down! Stand down!

CASEY: It's not us! I
don't know who it is...

I can't pinpoint the shooters.

Snipers? Is this a setup?

No,no,no. Wait. Wait! Wait,Vivian,wait!

- No,this is not a setup.
- Go. Go,go,go!

I trusted you! How
could you do this to me?

Vivian!

We couldn't determine the source of
the shot,General,but it wasn't us.

And the weapon Vivian offered up?

It's not in the Intersect,and
we can't figure out what it does.

So it proves nothing.
The kill order stands.

But,what... okay,hang-hang on.

But what if she was being straight with
us and it really is a deadly weapon.

Wouldn't that be enough
to recall her kill order?

And who exactly is going
to give us that intel?

There's only one man who can tell us.

Unfortunately,he's also the
most dangerous man in the world.

It's true.

I cut in front of William
in the cafeteria line.

I admit I... have entitlement issues.

I owe an amends.

My apologies.

Explore the feelings.

- I feel...
- I feel...

Better. I feel...

MAN : Prisoner 9205,you have a visitor.

I feel... like I'm
about to have some fun.

chuck
Season 04 Episode20

First off,we don't trust you.

I understand.

I'm ashamed of myself.

There is an assassination order
out on your daughter Vivian.

You can help remove it.

It's all my fault.

Absentee parent.

What's with this good-guy act,huh?

Charles,Sarah...

I've had a lot of time
to think about my life.

I'm not interested in how the
world can serve me anymore.

I'm interested in how I
can serve my fellow man.

Sure,awesome. Well,if that's the case...

If we can identify this weapon,we can
help rescind your daughter's kill order.

That's the Norseman.

It's a DNA tracker.

A tiny sample,and a target or a family of targets
can be picked out of a crowd and killed instantly.

There are two other components.

Where are they?

That's valuable information.

Now there's the
conniving,manipulative Volkoff I know.

The requirement for spiritual
growth is making apologies

to all the people I've
harmed,making amends...

most important need
to me is my daughter.

For five minutes with Vivian...

I'll get the other components for you.

I see,let you out of
jail,so you can escape.

Sorry,not falling for it.

ALEX: Hey,Dad.

Um,I am so sorry.

Mom sent out the invitations,and sent 'em to
Morgan's new address instead of the Buy More.

Not,not an issue.

I'm meeting Mom after the ceremony
for dinner,but I told her that,

between dinner and the party,I
was having drinks with friends.

You lied to her.

Well,then I can come meet you and
show you a video of the ceremony and...

That'd be an intrusion. I really...

I want you to be a
part of this,Dad,okay?

You name the place,I'll be there.

Great.

Oh. Uh,okay.

- So,uh,I'll be in touch.
- Great.

Roger that.

- Hi.
- See you later.

Since Volkoff identified the Norseman,Langley's
putting the hunt for Vivian on a back burner.

They want the additional
weapon components.

Well,General,we'd be happy to,except
the weapon is not in the Intersect,

and the only man who can
find those components is...

coming in right about now.

Say what?

General,what is this?

I'm not normally one to
question authority,General...

Not the time to start,team.

- Mr. Volkoff,please brief the team.
- thank you.

The man who has the Norseman targeting
component is a well-known high seas pirate...

Ellyas Abshir.

Ellyas Abshir,kidnapper,vessel thief.

Last seen in Mogadishu.

How'd the pirate get the component?

I lost it in a poker game.

He's addicted to gambling.

General,I'm not buying
his newfound spirituality.

What's in it for Volkoff?

The General caved to my demands.

Really?

No alarm bells ringing
here for anyone else?

Not getting the sense that
we're being played for suckers?

The Norseman is extremely dangerous.
Washington wants it now...Damn the risks.

Volkoff will accompany
you.to retrieve the component.

For the next 48 hours,he
is your responsibility.

VOLKOFF: So...

when do we fly?

CASEY: My cover is a Volkoff agent.

I'm going in,I just need the layout.

I got the layout of the
compound off the Sky Drive.

Only way in is through the front door.

It's a rat's nest of a hellhole.

But the gambling's good,buffet's decent.

It should be me going in.

That's my job.

Then you tell them that I sent you.

It'll scare the hell out of him.

Oh,sad,isn't it?

Why do I always choose fear over love?

Okay,Oprah. Park it. Come on.

Hey,uh,you good?

You're being awfully cool
about the whole prenup thing.

It's a non-issue.

Since when? Don't you want to
know why I asked you to sign it?

I figured you'd tell
me when you were ready.

Well,it's got nothing to do with us.

No,I-I get it.

Is that cool?

Yeah.

So,really,the missing link
isn't actually missing.

It's a misnomer when a fossil shows a specimen
in a state of intermediary development.

ELLIE: It's missing.

Babe,you really think it's wise
to argue in front of the baby?

No,no,no,Devon,the Agent X file
that I showed my mom is missing.

It happened right after
we left for breakfast.

My mom was here babysitting.

Why-why would she delete a
file from my dad's computer?

Honey,you're going from zero to 60.

I think you just gotta calm down.

Mom,it's me. Can call me when
you get this,please? Thanks.

I don't know,Devon,something's not
right. I'm gonna get to the bottom of it.

Watch him.

VOLKOFF: Did I hear prenup?

You overheard a private conversation.

Well,I think you're
handling it really well.

You're seeing her side of
things. That's so important.

You know Dr. Nelson,the
prison shrink,he taught us that

a major part of recovery is
seeing the opposing points of view.

Thanks,Dr. Nelson.

Charles,I've been thinking a
lot about your mother lately.

I owe her an amends.

Do you think,if you
talk to me,you might...

You're a kind of a sore subject.

Of course.

Ready?

Okay,Charles,remember...

you're a criminal.

You work for me.

You work... for Volkoff!

I'm looking for Ellyas Abshir.

Who are you?

I work for Alexei Volkoff.

Vol-Volkoff! Volkoff? Alexei Volkoff?

Did I not pronounce that correctly?

Sometimes,you know,with the Russian thing
it's the W's and the V's. Wolkoff,perhaps?

Alexei Volkoff is a powerless
worm in a U.S. penitentiary.

He-he still has a little pull.

He sent me here to broker a deal
for the Norseman tracking device.

Not for sale.

Why didn't you tell us Ellyas hates you?

Everyone hates me.

I accept that.

I haven't mentioned my terms
yet,which are very reasonable.

- We're prepared to pay...
- With your life?

Good.

I think,I think,maybe you're putting words
in my mouth,specifically the word "life.

" Walker,the Somali
pirates want to take him.

If you go in with all that
firepower,it's gonna be a bloodbath.

If you want Charles out
alive,I need to be there.

Fine.

I can't go like this. They'd laugh.

Let me get a little something
out of my prison kit. Please.

Pick a game.

Dice,roulette,cards. You
win,the tracker is yours.

I win,you die.

Do you have Uno?

Honestly,sweetheart,I copied one file
to cross-reference in the CIA database,

but when I put the flash
drive in,it disappeared.

Well,Mom,why didn't you say anything?

I know it's important to
you,working with your dad's computer.

And I just,I felt stupid.

Well,it's okay.

The computer automatically embeds the backup
files in the hard drive,so I didn't lose anything.

- Oh,good!Good.
- Yeah.

Honey,if we're gonna make that
reservation,we should get going.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Go on! Get out of here! Have some fun!

All right. We'll see you in a few hours.

Okay.

Ellie,let's drop this plan
and actually go to dinner.

Devon,the woman has the
technical savvy of Steve Jobs.

She didn't just "erase" a file.

So we're gonna stand out here in the cold
and wait for her to maybe do something?

We didn't have to wait very long,did we?

She's doing it!

Okay,um,she's spending the night,we follow her in
the morning,and we see what she's doing with the file.

El,we're not spies.

Devon,we are gonna act like it because she's
keeping something from me and I want to know why.

The tracking device.

Draw four.

You're a cheater! You just cheated!
He cheated. He just cheated.

I just saw you palm
a card out of your...

Tell it to St. Peter,dead man!

Hello,Ellyas.

VOLKOFF: You cheated. Give
him the targeting device.

You are supposed to be locked up.

What the hell is happening here?

I'm gonna show you what
the hell's going on here.

Your morality is in a
state of development.

For once in your
life,you're gonna play fair.

The tracking device or your life.

Take it. It's yours.

Thank you.

We do have one problem.

What's the problem,Volkoff?

There's something I've gotta do.
And it's gonna be really painful.

Casey,we need to get
out of here right now.

Got it. Let's roll.

Come on,Alexei,we gotta go now!

You know me,you know what
I'm capable of,Ellyas.

The time's come for me...

for me to...

apologize.

I want you to understand that
I... like all other men...

I'm still a work in progress.

What do you say,Ellyas?
Forgive and forget,right?

okay?

Okay...

Go!

CHUCK: Okay,okay.

- Give me that.
- I feel so free!

CHUCK: Do you? That's good.

Thanks so much for your time.
Such a good feeling,isn't it?

Here we go. Let's go.

Thank you,Mogadishu,and good night!

VOLKOFF: All that remains is
the killing agent... thorium.

My finest piece of work.

- Where does it come
from? - A far-off land.

To mine it,I had to wage war
against the peaceful natives

and ordered the destruction
of their Hometree.

I'm just kidding.

They showed it to us
last week... Avatar.

So it's rare. Incredibly.

And the chances you don't know
its location are pretty slim.

Well,my grandmother always used to
say,play your cards close to the vest.

And wear a coat over the vest
or you'll look like a jerk.

Team,good progress,but
Langley is getting antsy.

Well,General,we think Volkoff
knows where the killing agent is,

but he's being very uncool about it.

VOLKOFF: General... I want proof you're
going to keep your side of the bargain.

There is a classified document
on the conference table...

a communication between
Vivian and the CIA.

It's been redacted,but
you'll get the gist.

I guess you're just
going to have to trust us.

Thorium's in a Swiss military
bunker. The locks are coded to my DNA.

We fly at midnight. Fuel my jet.

You don't have a jet.

Of course. Old thinking. It creeps back.

Let's creep back to your cell. Come on.

Okay,honey,I'll call next week. And
if you need anything,you call me.

- Okay.
- Thank you.

Bye.

Target's on the move,Hot Mama.

ELLIE: Copy that,Six Pack. You
get the car. I got the baby.

"Meet me at 8:00,the
shooting range to celebrate.

Love,Alex.

Hey,I just got your
text. What's going on?

Your sister is breaking through
the firewalls of the Orion computer.

What? No. No,no,no,no.

I mean,I knew about that,but I had Awesome
take out the hard drive and disable it.

Well,he didn't. And the progress
she's making in her access...

it's almost as if your father intended
for her to find out about the Intersect.

Oh,my God.

I've taken files piecemeal.

I think I got the dangerous
ones,but she's onto me.

She's following me.

Okay. Okay. Let's think about
this. Let's think about this.

What are we going to do?

The time has come for her to find
out what it is you do for the CIA.

No. Mom,we've been down
that road before... okay?

and if she gets the truth now,she could end
up resenting me for all the lies I've told,

and it'll tear us apart.

Well,she is finding out on her
own,which could be infinitely worse.

Our family has relied on secrets
and lies for way too long.

CASEY: Bartowski.
Beckman's on the monitor.

I'll be right there.

Not you,Bartowski; the other
Bartowski. She says it's urgent.

We'll discuss later.

Okay.

General,I'd like this second file from
Orion's computer to be the last that I acquire.

It's not going to be easy to keep
secrets from my daughter much longer.

Cards on the table?

Washington is hungry to
expand the Intersect program,

and Ellie has unlocked material our
best technicians couldn't get near.

We've never even heard of Agent X.

Well,neither have I,but that does not
mean that it's related to the Intersect.

Still,it seems like Ellie
has exclusive access.

The director wants her to keep working.

Diane,she's not a
spy. She's my daughter.

Mary,I'm sorry,but
it comes from the top.

Volkoff is here?

What the hell is going on?

He got a 48-hour furlough to get
us a weapon called the Norseman.

It-it wasn't in your Volkoff
file,but have you heard of it?

Just whispered about. Never laid
eyes on it,which is worrisome.

Watch your back,Chuck.

Maybe he's a changed man. He
asked to see you,to make amends.

We're talking about Alexei
Volkoff. His mind is twisted.

Never believe a word he says,and
never let him out of your sight.

You understand?

Cool.

swiss alps

SARAH: No guns,no ambush. Maybe
this isn't a trap after all.

Yeah. Can't trust a
Limey with good teeth.

Well,we have Mr. Cool in there.

What do we have to worry about?
Bartowski,we lose audio,we're coming in.

Sounds good,buddy.

The thorium is behind this door.

First,to get in,you got
to win the game of chess.

It's fully automated and constantly
evolving. Plus,there's a five-minute clock.

I'm guessing there's
consequences if you lose.

: Oh,yeah.

Well,you don't have to stay.
You can wait with your friends.

Well,Alexei,as much as I like staying
away from life-threatening situations,

wherever you go...I go.

Fasten your seat belt.

It's going to be a bumpy match.

ELECTRONIC VOICE: Welcome,Mr.
Volkoff. Ready to play a game?

CHUCK : Alexei,just stay cool.

I know you don't like
Bartowski's groovy attitude.

God knows where he gets these ideas.

Yeah,well,it kind of threw me
when he just signed that prenup.

That's what you would have done.

Exactly,but now I see what Chuck's
side of it would have been like.

Flipping out about our relationship
boiled down to the contents of an envelope.

Seeing the end before
we've even started.

So why the prenup?

I have some money socked away,in
case my dad gets arrested again.

Well,I'm sure Bartowski could handle it.

Any excuse to weep and hug.

Yeah,well,it's more about
what it dredges up for me.

My relationship with my family
and having to take sides.

Caught between your parents,huh?

Tough place to be.

Hardest place for a kid
is right in the middle.

Roger that.

ELECTRONIC VOICE: Check,Mr.Volkoff.

Oh,shake it off. Shake it off.
Shake it off. You're doing great.

You're still in check,Mr
Volkoff. If this is Mr. Volkoff.

Guns. Big guns.

Lots of bullets.

Sort of overkill.

Story of my life.

What is going on with you?
Come on. Let's do this.

I used to love games like this. I
didn't care whether I lived or died.

Now I do care. I don't want to die.

I'm going to lose,and I'm going to die.

No,you're not. No,you're
not going to die.

We're not going to
die right now. Look...

I get that you're trying
to better yourself,

but would a spiritual man
freeze in the face of adversity?

Would he...

would he choke and die so close
to fixing things with his daughter?

Would he hide under a table if his
fiancée handed him a prenup to sign?

No,he wouldn't,because he'd be cool.

- It's not working.
- Damn it!

You still have the DNA of the
world's most evil weapons dealer.

You are a villain,sir.

Your name strikes fear in the
hearts of even the toughest of swine.

And that name is...

Alexei Volkoff. You
say it like you mean it!

My name... is...

Alexei Volkoff.

World's biggest bad-ass.

Killer of men,conqueror of nations.

Let's not get ahead of
ourselves. Game,guns,clock.

CHUCK: What's going on?

Right into my trap.

Checkmate.

Good. Now,let's get a move on before
the computer changes its mind,okay?

We're losing audio.

What is that we're picking
up? Is that Russian?

- Yeah.Go.
- We need to go.

The last level of security
is coded to my DNA.

I assume that's the thorium.
Let's get this over with.

We'll get to that.

But first,I have an
amends to make to you.

Oh,yeah? Well,uh,I'm pretty well aware
of all the bad things that you've done,

and I'm learning not
to hold it against you.

It's not what I've done.
It's what I'm about to do.

SARAH: Chuck? Hey.

We just picked up some Russian on the
radio. How long is this gonna take?

See,you were right. I'm Alexei Volkoff.

And always will be.

W-Wait,wait,wait,wait.
What is happening?

Oh,this is what we call the twist.

I have a company to run and
I need leverage to run it.

The Norseman's the most
dangerous weapon in the world.

I just needed my father's
DNA to get the killing agent.

What? So this is a setup?

You were shot.

- You two never communicated.
- Yes,we did.

: The minute... the minute you
showed me the Norseman component,

I knew it was a message
from my daughter.

You and I are gonna run
this company together.

Vivian,I owe you...

the humblest amends for being totally absent
during the formative years of your childhood.

There will be plenty
of time for that,Father.

The thorium is useless
without the other components.

The other components are what's useless.

They can be rebuilt.

But you'll never have this.

Place the grenades.

VOLKOFF: Now,Viv,darling,get these
handcuffs off your,off your father.

We've got a lot of work to do.

I'm sorry,Dad,but here's the real twist.

Dead by your own plasma
grenades,impossible to defuse.

Young lady,you get me out of
these handcuffs immediately.

This is your father talking.

Trust no one. You taught me that.

It didn't include me.

- Vivian,you are not this person.
- You don't know who I am!

You have both lied to me,betrayed
me and shattered my life!

VOLKOFF: Vivian,darling,I've
always been on your side.

The photographs?

The necklace?

Tokens from a stranger!

I don't know you.

I will never know you. Good-bye.

Vivian...

Vivian! Please!

Come on,let's get to the
bombs and see what we can do.

Maybe if I can flash on the
laser grid,I can get through them.

You gonna carry us on your back?

Is there any other
escape from this room?

She hates me.

No,she's... I'm sure she's
just going through a phrase.

Actually,I'm really sure she's not going through
a phase,but you got to snap out of this right now.

- Just let me die.
- We all die.

What would Dr. Nelson say?

He'd say that you're not seeing it
from her side of the issue,you know?

If any part of your recovery was real,you'd
see that she's just hurt and angry.

- I failed her.
- No!

You made a great first step
in repairing your relationship.

It's just gonna take more work.

You really believe that?

SARAH: Chuck,we have
to move... seconds left.

Just forget about him!

Hmm,modified,directed EMP.

This year's innovation.

I was gonna tell her all my
secrets. We were gonna be partners.

Not anymore.

: "Velcome" to the future.

CHUCK: Why did she do this?

She's my daughter.

She takes after me.

Please,Charles,take me home.

Alexei...

I understand you wanted a minute.

Mary?You well?

What is it you wanted to say?

I've done terrible things.

I've been evil.

But I was drawn to the goodness in you.

- Alexei,this is not necessary.
- Yes,it is.

I was not worthy of your love...

like Orion was.

Please accept my apology and know
that I'm doing my best to improve.

Thank you,Charles.

Remember,family and
friends are everything.

Money,greed and power
are a dance with Satan.

And he looks like me.

Dad,don't say it again.

Know what,we'll have dinner
the day after graduation.

I don't want you lying to
your mother on my behalf.

Me neither,but lying to her
kind of goes with our territory.

It's not fair for you to be torn
between two parents. It's not okay.

You're my father.

I don't mind being in the middle,as long
as that means I get to have you in my life.

I mind.

I respect that you don't want to
tell your mother the truth,but...

we have to come up with a compromise.
I can't be there on the day.

Unless...

Unless we tell your mom the truth.

- That I'm alive.
- Yeah.

I'll tell her the truth.

Oh,that scares me.

- Done.
- You don't have to do that.

Please forget that
that ever existed,okay?

And can you please stop being so cool?

- That is so not cool.
- Just read it.

"I,Sarah Walker,promise to...
always love Chuck Bartowski.

In return,he will always love me.

" I can't read this fine print.

The fine print says,"I promise Chuck that I
will not even "contemplate the word 'divorce.

' And I will never use my prenup.

" I already signed it.

Thanks.

Ellie.

Sarah,I have to talk to Ellie right
now or I'll lose my nerve,I know it.

Yeah,your mother is right.

Ellie's better off finding
out from you than on her own.

- Should I finish my wine first?
- Come on,she'll understand.

Chuck,being a spy isn't just what
you do,but it's about who you are.

Go and tell her.

Thanks. Be right back.

- Hey,El.
- Hi.

Uh,Devon's putting the baby down.

Let's,uh,let's go over here.

That's some look you got on your face.

I heard that you've
been kind of busy lately.

Yeah.

- A newborn will do that to you.
- Yeah,uh,that's true.

Chuck,is there anything pressing going on?
'Cause,really,I should get dinner started.

El,I need to talk to
you about Dad's computer.

Oh,yeah.

Yeah.

I thought that I uncovered
some secret files.

Turned out just to be cheats on some
video game that he was developing.

Oh,yeah? - Yeah. -
Just gibberish,really.

Listen,that Chicken a la
King's not gonna cook itself.

So I'm gonna get in there.

- Okay.Yeah.
- Okay.

My sister just lied to me.

She's never lied to me.

Not cool.

We build the device
as quickly as possible.

There was only one man my father was ever
afraid of,one threat to Volkoff Industries.

He went by the name Agent X.

I'm gonna track him down and kill him.

Then no one can touch me,ever.
