Chuck (2007–2012): Season 5, Episode 8 - Chuck Versus the Baby - full transcript

When Sarah's old spy handler reappears, she goes off on her own to prevent a secret from her past from destroying her family.

Hi, I'm Chuck.
Here are a few things that

you might need to know.

I'll be locked in solitary
the rest of my life,

but one thing's going to
keep me warm at night.

Do you remember Hungary?

Does Chuck know
about the baby?

Hey, honey,

I haven't heard
from you for a while.

I miss you.

Wherever you are,
I hope you're okay, safe.

I want you to know,



if you ever feel like you need
a place to come home to,

well, you have one.

Who was that?

Nobody.

Are we a go?

Affirmative.

Ryker, I'm in.

How many?

I count 11.

Copy that.

On my word, take them out,

all of them.

The men in that room
just slaughtered

the couple that lived
in this house.



Give them the opportunity,
they'll kill you, too.

Now move.



Next?

Double doors, three o'clock.

The package is inside.

Ryker, th-the package...

The baby is the package.

Grab it and get out of there.

But what am,
what am I supposed...?

Move, Walker.

I'm your handler
and that's an order.

Oh, my God, he knows.

Hey, honey.

You ready for
my big surprise?

Absolutely.

You know how much
I love surprises.

Chuck, where are we?

Okay, here we
go, up farther.

Straight, straight,
straight, straight,

and ta-dah!

Oh, my God,
this is the house.

It's our house.

How, how did
you do this?

The real estate
agent gave me

the keys so we could try
it out for the weekend.

Um, full disclosure--

I think she might have a
little crush on me, so...

Chuck, this is,
this is beautiful,

but we still
can't afford it.

Actually, we can.

I was talking
to Beckman, and

apparently her offer
to rejoin the CIA

comes with a
signing bonus,

which is enough for a
down payment on the house

and that dresser I've been
eyeing at Anthropologie.

Uh, I don't know
what to say.

Don't say anything.

Just visualize.

Think to yourself,

"What would my life be like
in such an amazing home

with the most dashing
man I've ever met?"

Okay.

All right,
all right, so

after a hard day's
work, we come home

to the sweet, sweet
sounds of Nina Simone

emanating
from our record player,

which would fit perfectly--
I don't know--

say, in this corner
right behind me.

Huh?

Open floor plan--
great for relaxing

and watching your
husband cook.

Cooking and talking,
talking and cooking.

This area right here--
perfect for my game chairs.

Or not.

Maybe we'll talk
about that, but this,

this is perfect.

The door frame?

When Ellie and I
were kids,

our dad would measure us
every year

to see how tall
we were getting.

I remember being
so excited

when I was finally
taller than Ellie.

It took a while, but

tenth grade was
a good year for me.

What's the matter, what's
the matter, what have I done?

Something-Something's missing,
something's wrong?

Is it the game chairs?
'Cause those are negotiable.

No, Chuck,
it's not that.

Um, look, I
want this house

and I want the life that
you have envisioned for us.

I want every
single part of it.

It's just that something urgent
has come up.

What is it?

You know you can tell me
anything.

Well, that's just it.

This time, Chuck,
I can't tell you.

There are more men coming.

Get the package
and get out of there.

It's going to be okay.

Sarah. Sarah, please?

just, just tell me
where you're going,

tell me what happened.

I thought we decided
no more secrets,

no more doing things
on our own.

Your words,
not mine.

Look, I know,
I know that.

It's just, I need you
to trust me on this.

It's not that I don't trust you,
this is not about trust.

What's so urgent, Bartowski?

Yeah, why'd you make Casey

come all the way
down here?

You know I'm gonna follow him
everywhere he goes,

and I was doing something
really important.

Where you
going, Walker?

It's nothing; I'll be back soon.

J-Just wait,
just wait one second.

Hear me out.

Yes, I love you, so, of course,

I'm going to want to
know what's going on,

why this mission needs
to be so secretive,

why you need so many guns,

but I'm willing
to put all that aside.

Really?

Really?
Really?

You are not helping..!

Sure,

husbands ask
a lot of questions.

You know who doesn't?

Carmichael Industries,

and as CEO of
Carmichael Industries,

I would like to offer you
our services--

pro bono, of course.

Well, it wouldn't
change anything.

There are still things
I can't tell you.

You're the client,
you're the boss.

Whatever this is, Walker,

backup couldn't hurt.

Okay, here's what
I can tell you.

The man that we're going after--
his name is Kieran Ryker--

ex-CIA, very dangerous.

Before we took down Shaw, he
sent a communiqué to Ryker,

and I'm gonna send one back
posing as Shaw

so that I can set up a meet.

Morgan, you're gonna
stay in Castle

in case anything
goes wrong.

Chuck and Casey, pack your bags.

We're going to Budapest tonight.

All right, great,
I'll bring a sweater.

Good.

You sure you can keep
your mouth shut this time?

Of course.

Geez, Casey, you act like
I haven't learned anything

in the last four years.

Morgan, I need to know

what's going on with
Sarah, so I've done

some research-- research
on Hungarian culture

cross-referenced with
general horrible things

that Sarah might want
to keep a secret.

But didn't you tell Sarah
that you wouldn't...?

Wikipedia-ing facts about
Hungary is harmless.

I, for one, had no idea

the Rubik's Cube
was invented there.

Sure, I just think maybe
you should give Sarah

the benefit of the doubt.
I mean,

any time the two of you have
ever disagreed about anything,

she's been right. I can name
four or five different times...

No, no, no, I-I know,
I know, it's just,

I'm worried that we
won't be prepared

if something goes wrong,
but if you're here

in Castle, I guess
we'll be okay.

Yeah.

Kind of a bummer
about the timing, though.

I was supposed
to have game night

with Ellie
and Awesome.

Alex said she was gonna
come by, too, and...

I still don't know
where her and I stand.

Wait, wait,

why do you have to cancel? You
don't have to cancel game night.

Have game night
in Castle.

Ellie and Awesome
have wanted

to check it out
more anyway.

Ever since that
last mission,

they keep asking me
tactical questions

and using the
term "ghost op"

as if they know
what it means.

Plus, this way,

if anything does go
wrong, we'll be ready.

I'm on it.
Thank you.

Hey, listen, I know you
can't talk to Bartowski

about what's
really going on.

That blabbermouth can't keep
a secret to save his life.

But you can tell me, hmm?

I appreciate that, John, but
the less you know the better.

Really.

Sure, no problem.

Walker.

Uh...

look, before I hand over...
the package,

I need to know what's going
to happen to her.

I'm afraid that's
above your pay grade.

This mission wasn't sanctioned
by the CIA, was it?

Look, we did a good thing.

The men you took out killed
that girl's entire family.

She's the only heir
to a massive fortune,

so whoever has her

has access to it.

She's the key.

And you want the money.

Listen, I know this job is
the only thing in your life,

but someday you're gonna
realize it's not enough,

that keeping
your whole life

a secret from everyone
who loves you

is too much.

But you don't have a family.

That money's just for you.

And what's going to happen
to her when you take it?

She has a legitimate claim
to that fortune,

then she can come back

at any time
and take it from you.

And you expect me to believe
that you're gonna let her live?

You're a rotten handler, Ryker.

Okay.

It's okay.
It's okay. Shh.

Stay. Stay.

So,

uh, honey, this
Ryker fellow--

is there anything about him
you'd care to elaborate on?

Any personal details
we should know about?

How he takes his
coffee, for example?

No. You know everything
that you need to know.

Okay, I'm gonna be at that cafe
waiting for him to arrive.

I need the two of you to
stay up here away from Ryker,

surveilling the street to see
if anybody else is watching me.

Okay?

O-kay.

No. Wait.

No. You know what, Sarah?
Sarah, no, not okay.

Can't we just set
aside the whole

CEO of Carmichael Industries
thing just for a second?

No, Chuck, that wasn't part
of the deal.

Yeah, except
that I'm your husband

who would do anything
in the world for you,

and I'm worried.
Okay, look,

this isn't about me.

There are lives in danger

because of something that...

Look, if I tell you, I'm not
only compromising their safety,

but your safety, as well.

Okay, so, when you
see Ryker, what then?

What are you gonna do?

I'm gonna kill him, Chuck.

Still nothing.

Look, I know I typically
overreact to stuff like this,

but there's something
about this entire situation

that I do not like.

This time, you might be right,
Bartowski.

Did some digging.

Turns out, Ryker's whole file
has been redacted.

Which means whatever happened
between him and Sarah ended

pretty damn badly.

Sarah, what's going on?

Um, it's nothing.

I need you two
to follow the waiter.

I think he might be working
with Ryker.

Don't move.

We'll be right down.

Where... Where is Sarah?

Got him.

Sarah, wait, wait!
Wait. Where are you going?!

Ryker figured out it was me.
I'm sorry.

I've got to go
do this alone.

The waiter!
Come on, come on!

Still no word from Chuck.

Everything must be going well
on the mish.

Your turn, bro.

Oh, right.

Okay.

You know what? I feel so lucky
to have a lady to share my

little plastic car with,
and, uh,

not afraid to put a couple
of kids in the backseat.

Not now, obviously.
That'd be crazy.

But you know,
someday. You know,

commitment is not something
that I fear.

Well, I'm keeping
my options open.

Yeah, I noticed.
There you are

in your little pink car
by yourself. Must be so lonely.

What is going on
with these two?

I thought they worked
everything out.

Me, too.

Maybe they need
some alone time.

Great.

Because if I have to spin

for a new mortgage rate again,
I'm going to die.

It's like we're actively
wasting our baby-sitter.

Okay, let's, uh...
let's speed things along here.

Then you and I can have

- a little look-see in Castle.
- Ellie?

Hmm?

Uh, your turn.

Yeah, my turn.

Hey, spin a ten,
game is over.

All right. Spin...

...a ten.
Okay.

Oh!

Millionaire Estates!

Yay!

Yeah, baby!

We won in Life.
We did.

Yeah.
Okay.

We'll take a little
breather before

the next game, guys.
Bye. Yeah, good, good.

Good kids.

Oh! Our hands touched for a
second, and I kind of got, like,

a chill on my back.

It's kind of
funny, 'cause...

Morgan?
Mm?

What am I really doing here?

I'm-I'm not here
to try anything,

if that's what
you're asking.

Unless what you're asking is

that you want me to...
- No.

That's what I'm
saying-- no, of course. Uh...

There's no quick fix for us.

It's just going
to take some time.

I know that.

Hey, I totally get it.

How about a game of Sorry?

Sorry! Sorry!
Sorry!

Come back.
Sorry. Sorry.

Ahh!

Whoa! Yeah!

Once again, look who doesn't
need the Intersect.

Where's Ryker?

Where the hell is he?

Do you speak Hungarian?

No.

Do you, Mr. "I don't need
the Intersect?"

I think I got a phrase
book on me somewhere.

Uh...

What are you doing?

I got her in the deli.

What? She wasn't
busy. It's Europe.

Would you mind
asking this gentleman

what his business is
with Ryker?

He said this man you are asking
about gave me 20,000

forint to put a note

under a coffee cup.

He doesn't know anything else.

He's lying.

I think you understand
every word I'm saying.

You're gonna tell me
where Ryker is,

or you're gonna lose a lung.

Where the hell is Ryker?!

Any sign of her?

Nothing yet, sir.

You didn't think

I was just gonna use
the front door, did you?

I knew you wouldn't use
the front door.

You tell me everything
Shaw told you right now.

What is that?

Oh, God, I don't know
what you want. What do you want?

What do you need?

Oh, my God.

Okay. Okay.

Um...

Hello?

Uh, hi, Mom. It's me.

Honey? Are you okay?

Where are you?

I'm just... I'm uh... I'm
in a bit of a situation here.

Are you hurt?

Uh, no, no, no, no,
it's nothing like that.

I was on a mission, and, um...

Well, I'm looking after a baby,
and she won't stop crying,

and I'm not really sure
what to do.

Can you please help me?

Okay. Uh, yeah.

Um, is she wet?

Uh, no. No, it's not that, and
I... and I fed her an hour ago.

Did you try rocking her?

What? No.

Okay, honey, I want you

to bring her close to you.

She needs to feel safe.

She needs to feel your warmth.

Okay.

Okay, she's close. Now what?

Okay, now just-just rock her.

Slowly back and forth and...

Mom, this is not working.
I'm not good at this.

What am I supposed to do?

Don't freak out, honey.
It's okay.

It's okay. Just, um...

Just try singing to her.

Um... what am I supposed
to sing?

Do you remember the lullaby

I used to sing to you
when you were little?

Yeah. Uh, I-I think so.

♪ Slumber, my darling

♪ Your mother is near

♪ Guarding your dreams
from all terror and fear ♪

♪ Sunlight has past
and the twilight has gone ♪

♪ Slumber, my darling

♪ And the night's coming on.

Did it work?

Yeah.

Yeah, it worked, Mom.

Thank you.

Tie her up.

I have to give you credit
on that fake communiqué.

Unfortunately for
you, I already knew

that Shaw was
back in prison.

So tell me,

did you just come all this way

to have a cup of coffee
with your old handler?

You're asking
the wrong question.

Just get to the point, Ryker.

The point is that it's
not about money anymore.

You know why

I requested to be your handler?

Why I brought you to
Budapest in the first place?

Because your file
screamed loner.

You had no family to speak
of, never trusted anyone.

I knew
that you could keep a secret

because you had no one to tell.

And you still don't, do you?

I bet no one even knows
that you're here.

Do they?

And that's why you're
gonna die today...

unless you tell
me something.

Where is she?

Shaw told me
she's still alive.

Where's the little girl?

What?

You don't know where she is,
and you're never gonna find out.

That's why I came here.

That's all I needed to know.

Sir, there's a problem
in the foyer.

I'm not done with you.

Stay with her! You two,

come with me.

What the hell?

They made me talk!

What are you looking at?

Sarah? Sarah,
baby, are you okay?

Move. He was just
a distraction. Let's go.

Tell me
where the nukes are, Doctor.

Or should I call you...

Damian?

You may know my real name,

but that doesn't mean that
I'll give you my intel, Cobress.

Well, I have ways
of making you talk.

Oh, okay. Ow! Ow! Ow!

Okay, okay.
Is this... is this part of the bit, babe?

No, I'm stuck.
It's my earring.

I'm stuck... Ow.

Okay, hold on,
hold on. All right.

Oh! Ah!

You all right?

Yes.

What was that accent?

Oy. My British accent.

- Really?
- Morgan, stop.

I thought I could do this,
but I can't.

If you don't...
if you don't want

to play a game,
that's okay.

You know what we could do?
We could watch a movie.

We could watcha bunch of movies...

You broke up with
with me in a text.

I don't know how
to trust you again.

I think I should
probably just go.

Babe.
Babe.

Maybe alone time
isn't what they needed.

We have to do something.

Yeah.

Hey, there.
Hey. I'm actually

heading home.
No, really. I'm...

Alex, okay...
Devon, really, I...

Listen, I think you're
making a mistake.

Hey, you got a sec?

What's that?

What?
That...

Oh. Uh, nothing. Just...

Um, I actually wanted to
talk to you about Alex.

I don't think you're
gonna understand

what I'm going through here.

I don't know
if you know this,

but when Devon and I
first started dating,

we took a break for a while.

What happened?

As you probably know,
I was an A & F model.

I got to admit,
I let it go to my head.

He was a real ass.

For our first anniversary,

he gave me a signed
photograph of himself.

He was carrying a canoe

in, in nothing but suit pants.

And so I just,
I broke up with him.

I had to win her back.

You know, I couldn't
lose a woman like that.

So I pulled out
all the stops.

I made a Tracy
Chapman mix tape;

I got front-row
tickets to Les Mis.

I even baked those
little cupcakes,

you know, the kind with
the peanut butter inside.

Oh, yeah,
I like those.

Yeah, so does she.

Did it work?
Uh, no.

So then what did you do?

I mean, why did you
take him back?

I don't think
he knows this,

but I came home
from work one day,

and he was sitting
on my doorstep

with a bunch of calla lilies,

and he must have
been there for hours,

because he was
on the phone with his mom,

and he was so sweet
with her.

He really cared about
what she was saying.

I just remembered that that was
the man I fell in love with.

Calla lilies--
works every time.

Devon, I really appreciate
this, but I've got to...

No, Alex, come on.

Yeah, we all make mistakes,
and Morgan made some big ones.

Yeah.
Trust me,

he loves you.

She's in pain, Morgan,

but if she's the one
that you love, just...

you just have to be yourself.

Stop trying to force it.

You are a catch, okay?

She's going to realize that
soon enough.

Hey.

You're up.
Feeling better?

Yeah.

You were kind of
in and out a little,

so I took the liberty of
putting your dresses away.

I wasn't sure if they went
on the left or the right,

so I went with the right.

Uh, Sarah, look...

You-you know that I'm,

I'm not the kind of guy who
says things like this,

but... whatever it is that you
thought you needed to hide...

not telling me the truth,
going out on you own like that,

I think it was, uh... a mistake.

I think that you were wrong.

You're right.

When Ryker captured me
in Budapest, I kept thinking

why am I doing it this way?

Why do I feel like I have
to do everything on my own?

But it's what my dad taught me.

It's the way the CIA taught me,

that you can only
ever trust yourself.

But the truth is that
I trust you completely,

and I want to tell you
everything.

Hello?

How are you holding up?

Look, I know what
Ryker made you do.

I know everything.

I was just obeying orders.

There's no need to worry
about that now.

Where's the package?

If I have the package
in my possession, then what?

The CIA would take it
into custody, and then...

Do you guarantee its protection?

You know I can't
make guarantees.

The CIA keeps records
on these kind of things.

Records that a man like Ryker

might be able
to get his hands on.

And who knows what he would do.

He's a wild card.

Agent Walker?

Sarah?

I'm not in possession
of the package, Director.

It must be somewhere else.

This is your home, too.
It doesn't have to be this way.

Mom, I've thought a lot
about this, and, uh, and...

I can't stay.

Because for both
of you to be safe,

well, I can never see you again.

When the CIA recruited me,
I was on the run with Dad,

and we changed our
identities so much

that they never
knew you existed.

And we can't let them
find out about you now.

When you were
a little girl,

all I ever wanted for
you was a normal life.

But you went off
with your father,

and he was never one...

You just... you never got
to go trick-or-treating

or play on the soccer team,

or never got to go to
prom or homecoming.

I just wish I could have given
you at least some of that.

Oh, um... don't forget this.

She likes to be wrapped up
in a blanket.

It... helps her sleep.

And the sound of the rain--
she likes the sound of the rain.

And I've noticed that car rides...
It's okay, honey.

I'll take good care of her.

Yeah, I know.

I know.

Um, Mom?

Yes?

Going to prom and...
and soccer games and...

and... and all those normal
things that you wanted for me--

...will you just make sure
that she gets them?

Of course I will.

Thank you.

So the baby has been with
your mom this whole time?

Yeah. Yeah, now I know
that they're both safe.

Ryker has no idea
where she is.

He has no idea that
my mom ever existed.

I'm so sorry that I never
told you any of this before.

I really am.

I just... I didn't want
to put anybody else in danger.

But thank you for trusting me.

Babe, I love you.

Who's that?

Yeah, what was that?

That's feedback.

Ryker. Oh, my God, he knows
that the baby is with my mom.

I've been looking forward
to this little visit for a long time.

Let's go.

Your call has been forwarded
to an automated...

She's not answering.

I sent her the coordinates.

I just hope she
remembers the signal.

Mom?

Mom!

Please remember
the signal, please.

Did you get
ahold of Morgan?

Not yet,
but I'll keep trying.

Stay there.

I've got her.

Nice apron.

Thanks.

Whoa, whoa, whoa,
hey, hey, guys, sorry,

but this street
is permit parking only.



You came so close
to keeping her safe,

you really did,
but I'm gonna kill you

and then I'm gonna
kill your mom.

And then after I
get that money,

you know what I'm gonna do
with that little girl?

Hmm?

Get up.

You just don't quit,
do you?

But you always manage
to make the same mistake.

Even when you have
a team,

here you are all alone.

When the hell
are you gonna learn?

I'm not alone.

She'll never
have nightmares

and she'll never even
know that you existed.

She's going to have the life
that she deserves,

a normal one.

Sarah, thank God you're okay.

We got Ryker's men.

My mom saw the signal.

She must be at the coordinates
I left for her.

She remembered.

Okay, this is where
I make my comeback.

This is where I make my comeb--
every time, this is where I...

What?

You are good,

you are-- you
used cheat codes.

This is what I--
no, you-- come on,

you put in
some kind of...



I missed you.

I know.

Oh.

Molly, I want you
to meet

someone
very important.

This is your sister Sarah.

Hi, Molly. It's
nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, too.

So who's this?

This is Rex.

Hi, Rex.

You know, I used
to have a stuffed dog, too,

when I was little,
and I, I named him Bunny.

That's a funny name for a dog.

I know.

You know, I can't even
begin to tell you

how excited I am that
I get to meet you.

It means a lot
to me, too,

more than you know.

Ah, it's been so long
since I've seen her.

She was always a tough
little thing, you know,

but I worried
about her.

Growing up mostly
with her father,

she always kept
to herself;

she wouldn't let
people get close.

I know I don't know you
really well yet,

but thank you
for giving her this.

Okay, that was--

that wasn't supposed
to happen.

I'm going to pract...

I got to go practice.

Bartowski and his fancy
Chardonnay.

Don't worry, I know where
Sarah keeps the Scotch.

Kitchen, top
left cabinet.

Nice.

You were, uh, pretty
good with Molly today.

Well... you know,
I'm kind of a sweet guy

when I'm not

Intersect brain-melting,
life-ruining phase.

Mission accomplished today, huh?

Yep.

Looks like Morgan finally
found the right girl.

I know how he feels.

Aw.

Your favorite.

Honey, you didn't have
to do that.

I wanted to.

I'm the lucky
one now...

Joining the CIA

and giving up
everything you did,

did you ever think
it would lead you here?

No.

No, but, uh, Chuck's taught me
that every now and then,

it's okay to be surprised.

You just love putting me
in my place, don't you?

Yeah.

It's good to have you
back, Agent Walker.

Sometimes when an agent
goes through what you did,

we lose 'em.

Well, you're not going
to lose me, sir...

but I am done with handlers.

Oh, I agree.

In fact, I think that it's
time for you to become one.

I have a new assignment for
you-- something stateside.

You think you can
handle this one?

I like it here.

Me, too.

You know, I, I really want the
life that you imagined for us,

Chuck, but if we go
back to the CIA,

it's just going to be
missions and secrets

that we have no
control over.

What are you saying?

I gave my life to the CIA
for a really long time

and I chose it over my
family and my friends,

and that was the right thing
for me to do at the time,

but... I'm different now.

You know, things
have changed.

You've changed me.

I don't want to go back.

I want to turn down
Beckman's offer.

Okay.

Okay.

We don't need
that bonus

and... we don't need
this house

because all we need
is each other.

Sarah?

Wha-- hey,

hey, hey, hey,
what are you doing?

I am carving

our names into the frame.

Honey, you know
we don't own this home.

I know,

but we will one day.

Might not be tomorrow
or the next day,

and it might take
us months or years

of hard work, but one day
this will all be ours.

And when it is,
I would like

to always remember
this moment.

So what do you say?

You still in?
