"Hi I'm Chuck." "Here are a few things that you might need to know." "El, I need to talk to you about Dad's computer." "Yeah, I thought that I uncovered some secret files." "Turned out just to be cheats on some video game that he was developing." "My sister just lied to me." "She's never lied to me." "There was only one man my father was ever afraid of." "He went by the name Agent X." "I'm going to track him down and kill him." "Then no one can touch me, ever." "Freeze!" "Take it easy, Tiger, I'm-I'm here to help." "DST picked up some chatter of a possible break-in attempt." "Not likely." "It's always a ghost town down here." "Oh, damn it." "I'm sorry, I haven't had my morning coffee yet." "Let me, um... help." "Who says chivalry is dead?" "Good work." "I knew there was a reason I brought you, outside of the obvious, of course." "Mm..." "That's the computer with all the Agent X files?" "No, it's a tracker." "Somebody must be using the computer." "But it looks as if the CIA is keeping tabs." "Locate this signal, and we'll have exactly what Miss Volkoff wants." "This was too easy." "Have to imagine the CIA is being way more careful with the actual computer." "Oh, shoot." "Ellie, come on." "Hey, babe, doing a little last-minute prep for Chuck's bachelor party." "Can you give me a little sunscreen pre-coat?" "Sure..." "Uh, make sure you lube up the lats." "Gonna be sunny in Vegas." "What's with the old house?" "That?" "I figured out a cyclomatic complexity that ran through all the conditionals in my dad's research-- that's the end of the loop." "Awesome." "All paths seem to end at that photo." "I don't understand-- why would my dad want me to have this picture of an old house?" "What are you doing, El?" "Aren't you supposed to be getting ready for Sarah's bachelorette party?" "Honey, don't worry." "Clara's already at your parents' house," "I am all packed for our girls' day trip;" "I promise" "I will turn it off as soon as the festivities begin." "Okay?" "Fair enough." "Gonna finish packing for the dude trip." "Vegas, baby." "Vegas...!" "♪ ♪" "Yo." "May I ask the best man what casino we're going to be hitting first?" "I got a fat stack burning a hole in my crotch." "I-I don't think that's, uh..." "Oh, no;" "it's burning." "Uh, no-no idea, actually." "I put Awesome in charge of everything." "Apparently, he's the Vegas expert." "Nice." "Yeah." "What about you, Casey?" "Any casino preferences?" "No." "Forget the casinos." "Best thing about Vegas are the gun ranges." "Brought some of my fancytargets." "Well, I got some bad news." "See you guys on Monday." "Whoa, whoa, whoa." "Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa." "Hang on, Big Michael." "You're not coming?" "Bologna Grimes says I couldn't go."

"And, by the way, a bachelor does not wear that." "What?" "You're not digging the whole business up-top, party below-the-waist thing?" "I figured it covered all the Vegas activities with one fell swoop." "Speaking of "looks," you're sure doing an awful lot of maintenance over there." "Oh, I'm just reminding you of what you'll be missing out on in Vegas." "Oh, trust me, I'll remember." "Where's Ellie taking you guys anyway?" "I'm not sure." "Every time I do recon, she's on your dad's computer." "She spends a lot of time on that thing." "Yeah, well, Ellie's always been into puzzles;" "you know, logic puzzles, Sudoku, crosswords" " I mean, one of my earliest memories of my sister was when she solved the 12-sided Rubik's Cube before I even got mine out of the box." "Have you spoken to Devon yet?" "Told him that you know that" "Ellie is still using the computer?" "No." "Not yet." "I'm planning on having a good man-to-man talk as soon as we get to Vegas."

"I'll upload the files to Miss Volkoff." "Yeah, but first, find out how much he knows." "If he doesn't talk, see that he never talks again." "Welcome back." "You know why I'm here, don't you?" "Is it because I've been a bad boy?" "What's in the shooter?" "Sodium pentathol-- truth serum." "Freaky." "I don't think that'll mix with what I'm on." "Guys" " Jeff-- they're torturing him." "Lester and Big Mike can wander in at any second." "We got to do something." "Yeah, yeah, yeah." "Casey, what's the plan?" "Who was that?" "Mercenaries." "Ex-Green Berets, judging by their tactics." "I count three, including the leader in camp." "Guys, did you see that clean break?" "Maybe I can save him." "No, he's dead, and so are we, unless you three tighten up." "What's this?" "You and Morgan are gonna find some good strong sticks and start sharpening." "Yes, sir." "Perfect." "Sharpening what?" "Toothpicks." "Ah." "Spears, you idiot." "I'll draw the rest of the team out into the woods." "I'm sorry." "You want us to fight former Green Berets with spears?" "Not you." "You're gonna go down to the camp and spring Jeff." "Happy hunting, boys." "Happy hunting?" "Looking." "Looking." "Looking." "I'm showing the nearest casino's in Las Vegas, Nevada." "Did you say Las Vecas?" "I" "Well, no." "We have to stay local." "There's got to be a nightclub or a bar or... a liquor store or...?" "Vegas!" "Vegas, Vegas, Vegas." "Are you saying Vecas...?" "Don't play with me, boy." "We are getting the hell out of here." "This is not what I signed up for." "Wait." "No!" "We can't just leave them." "They may die out there." "Take the drama down a notch." "I only care about Jeff." "Ooh!" "What?" "What is it?" "A splinter, I think." "Let me take a look." "Oh, please." "Listen to me." "There are men trying to kill us." "I can handle a little splinter, all right?" "I mean..." "Ooh, it..." "it hurts!" "Morgan, you ever kill a man?" "I'll tell you something." "The first one..." "the first one's the hardest." "There's no doubt about it." "Wow." "Really?" "No, not really." "They don't even give me a gun on missions." "Are you kidding me?" "I'm a doctor." "I took an oath to preserve lives." "What about your own life?" "Dude, you heard Casey." "It's them, or it's us." "What if we met these guys at a bar?" "You know, we could be frat brothers, for all I know." "Frat brothers-- these are mercenaries, dude." "Drinks?" "Beers?" "You hear something?" "No." "You're having first "mish" jitters." "It's not my first "mish." I think it's your first "mish."" "How are those spears coming?" "You are lucky we didn't kill you with these spears!" "They are really sharp." "I feel so bad for those mercenaries right about now-- zah!" "You ought to." "They're dead." "Dead?" "Well, what are these for?" "They kept you out of my way." "Men, what's your status?" "Oh, poor baby." "you're fresh out of friends." "Looks like" "Well, in that case, I'm just gonna have to come out there and kill you myself." "The captive's unconscious." "Kill him." "I see you've had knife training." "Let me give you one final lesson." "It's over." "It's over." "Sorry to interrupt your little lap dance." "If anyone's still alive, meet me at the extraction point." "What the hell's going on?" "Jeff's having a bad trip." "We've got to get out of Vecas now." "Good thing you boys came to your senses." "Best bachelor party ever." "Vecas, baby!" "Yeah." "Hey, where have you been?" "Beckman sent a team to Vegas." "They've been looking for you." "Yeah, wrong Vegas." "So where is Orion's laptop?" "Beckman thought that" "She was right" " Vivian Volkoff sent a team for it." "They tried to kill us." "I've got to tell Ellie what she got herself into." "If I didn't grab the wrong bag, you girls would have been ambushed." "I agree" " Ellie deserves to know." "I'll tell her." "I feel responsible that the CIA used her to find Agent X." "No, I'll tell her." "But then you'll have to tell her the truth about you." "I know." "What are you doing home?" "Uh, I had to cut the bachelor party short." "There-There's something that's been on my mind." "What is it?" "We've always been able to tell each other anything, right?" "Lately I felt like..." "Like there's something in the way." "Yes, exactly, our family is so full of secrets." "Too many secrets." "I mean, our parents alone..." "Yeah, and, and, d d I don't think there should be any secrets between the two of us." "I've been working on something secret." "I didn't want to tell you because I didn't want you to worry and..." "I know about Dad's laptop and his research-- Mom told me." "So why are we here?" "You're still a spy." "Wait, w-w-wait, wait, wait a second," "I had a whole speech and you just figured that out." "You can't figure that out by yourself." "I think I just did." "You just Rubik's Cubed me, sis." "Of course you still work for the CIA." "Sarah's a spy, you're clearly built for better things than the Buy More." "You're not mad?" "I'm not mad that you did it." "I'm mad that you didn't tell me." "I mean, I get it-- it's the same reason that I kept Dad's computer a secret from you." "Us Bartowskis-- when we're good at something, we just jump right in, don't we?" "No more secrets, though." "One more little secret." "Wow, look at this place." "What are you guys guarding down here that's so important?" "Uh, well... me." "El, you know that Intersect project that Dad was working on?" "Yeah, I've been trying to figure it out for weeks." "It's in my head." "What?" "No..." "Uh, Morgan, Katana sword, please." "Oh, yes, yes, Katana, all right." "Uh, full speed or half speed?" "Full speed, thank you." "Okay, okay." "Banzai...!" "Sleeveless." "It's a bit '80s, but I like this look." "Pretty cool, right?" "Our dad was amazing." "He did it." "He actually figured out a way to program the human brain using..." "What happened?" "I was going to use this to find Agent X." "Ellie, you found him." "You're looking at the first human Intersect-- it's me." "No, not unless he gave it to you before you were born." "November 21, 1980." "What, there was an Intersect before Chuck?" "From what I can piece together from his files," "Dad used this program to input a new identity into an operative." "So Agent X could go undercover." "But once he went undercover, something went wrong." "The program took over." "He became his cover identity." "Dad must have felt responsible for it and that's why he spent his whole life looking for him." "Not that that's going to happen now." "Ellie," "I haven't spent ten years in the Nerd Herd for nothing." "Morgan, get my tools." "Yes, sir, of course." "What tools?" "For fixing computers." "Tools for fixing computers, coming up." "Well, I might as well get started on this inventory." "Somehow my cover story became the truth." "Hold on a second." "Let me ask you two a question." "Who am I?" "You're Big Mike." "No," "I'm Rain... of Earth, Wind, Fire, and Rain." "And Rain does not waste a free party pass." "Neither does Thunder." "Is that name taken?" "Okay, wait, wait-- are we going to go to the real Vegas?" "No." "Well, then..." "Me and the boys had a standing engagement in a city that makes Vegas look like the Vatican." "What is this mythical place?" "Go get my Corolla." "We're going to The Big Dirty" " Reno." "Got it." "Okay, here, uh, here are the files." "Dad must have collected everything there was on Agent X, for what it's worth." "His whole file's been redacted." "Except for a name-Hartley." "He did leave something else." "I have no idea what it means or if it's some sort of clue." "I know where that is." "What, how?" "The Intersect-- that's incredible." "Yeah." "Ellie, look at that date." "It's a week before Agent X went missing." "Do you think maybe he took the photo as a keepsake before his final mission?" "This place must be special for him." "Maybe it's his home." "Or some kind of safe house." "You think Agent X has been hiding out there for 30 years?" "Hmm." "What's going on?" "Uh, well, Ellie, we're not the only ones trying to find Agent X." "The people who put that hole in Dad's laptop-- they're after him, too." "Well, I'm coming with you." "What, are you crazy?" "No, two words:" "Baby Clara." "What about you?" "Don't worry about it." "It's what I do." "Place hasn't change in 30 years." "Looks like somebody's still living there." "If this Agent X guy has been hiding from the CIA all these years, he might not take too well to being found." "WOMAN Oh, hello." "May I help you?" "Uh, so sorry to disturb you, ma'am, but our car has just broken down, and I was looking in the, in the boot-- the bonnet." "Uh, long story short we're stranded." "Could we please use your phone?" "Oh, of course, come in." "I'll make some tea while you wait for the lorry." "Thank you." "That way." "Cheers, lovely." "What's taking her so long?" "Will you relax, Casey?" "You don't think she's Agent X, do you?" "I don't know who the hell she is." "That old bird could be poisoning our tea as we speak." "Here we are." "Nice cup of tea." "Now, get it while it's hot." "And this one is for you." "Thank you." "Delicious, thank you." "So where are you all from?" "Um, not far from here, actually." "I was just showing my fiancé a bit of the countryside before the wedding." "He's American, of course." "Hmm." "And this handsome young man?" "He is-is a hitchhiker we picked up on the edge of town." "Yeah, he had such a nice face, we figured, what the hell?" "Uh, I was just telling my fiancé that my father had a friend who lived here, actually." "In this house?" "Oh, how interesting." "Yes, I believe his name was Hartley." "Any relation to you?" "Oh, no, I'm just an old spinster." "But I do know the man you're referring to." "He was the previous tenant." "A bit of a recluse, judging by the way he left the place." "Oh, do you know what happened to him?" "No, I'm afraid not." "Thank you for the tea." "Maybe we should go and wait for the tow truck." "But he did leave behind a box of personal effects." "Oh, I'd forgotten all about it." "I mean, it has been 30 years." "Oh, well, I'd hate to bother you." "No, you're welcome to it-- well, if your fiancé would kindly give me a hand." "I believe it's a bit heavy." "I would love to." "Oh, wait here while I grab a torch." "Oh, delightful." "Okay." "Tell me who you are, and what you want with my son-- before you make me go ruin my wallpaper." "Please, please, ma'am, I'm-I'm here to help your son." "I'm here to help Hartley." "I'm with the CIA." "So, you're saying you work for the people who took my son?" "Give me your sidearm." "Ma'am, I actually don't carry a gun." "Hartley should never have been sent undercover." "He was a scientist." "When the CIA couldn't bring him in, they disavowed him." "No one lifted a finger!" "They did, they did!" "My father, he spent his entire career trying to find Hartley." "You're Stephen Bartowski's boy?" "You knew my dad?" "Of course." "He and Hartley were quite close." "Are you gonna fix my son?" "This is the place." "Looks like someone beat us to it." "Move out." "Not bad." "Great." "We're outgunned and outmanned." "What are you waiting for, laddie?" "Lay down some fire." "Who are these people?" "Mercenaries." "Must have followed us." "They're not after you." "They're after the same thing you came for." "Hartley's spy will." "Oh." "Here." "There's a vault in the cellar." "You'll find the spy will down there." "Go!" "We can handle this!" "Oh, put down that damn peashooter." "There's a real gun in the chest." "There." "I prepared for something like this." "You know how to feed one of these things?" "Please!" "You're feeding me." "Where would you put a spy will?" "There go my primroses!" "Eat lead, you bastards!" "Bingo." "We're out." "Now what?" "We'll have to scuttle the house." "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "You're like the mother I never had." "Oh, and charming to boot." "Come on, let's go find your team, so we can get out the back door." "♪ ♪" "What's she doing?" "You don't want to know." "Ready?"

"What's that over yonder?" "Boys, we're here." "Let's make it snow!" "Remember, boys, the joker's worth 13." "Are we waiting for a code from the CIA to open it or something?" "I was just waiting to open it with you." "So the identity of Agent X is inside that box." "Our dad's obsession." "The whole reason that our family fell apart." "Wha...?" "Volkoff?" "Agent X is Alexei Volkoff?" "I know this man." "Mom brought him to the house for Thanksgiving." "He's a spy right?" "No, not exactly." "He's locked up now, but Alexei Volkoff is a very powerful, very evil arms dealer." "Yeah, but he wasn't." "I mean, that's the thing." "Volkoff was a cover identity." "In reality, he was just a scientist who didn't like using guns." "So Dad's original Intersect created one of the world's most dangerous criminals for the CIA?" "We should talk to Mom." "Maybe she was trying to fix him, too, you know, in her own way." "We need to call Beckman, see what our next step is." "No." "We tell no one." "Interrogation room." "Now." "It ends here." "We're all gonna pretend we never saw this." "John, my dad clearly wanted Chuck and me to figure this out." "There must be a reason." "Look, the CIA created one of the most murderous men in the history of the world." "There's powerful people who spent an enormous amount of energy covering that up." "You know what happens if they find out we know?" "They order a guy like me to put a bullet in each one of our heads." "I'm pretty sure your dad didn't want this to end that way." "So we're supposed to just sweep this thing under the rug?" "Ellie, we're talking about the CIA." "There are rules." "What about Dad?" "What about Dad?"
