Chuck S02E05 Chuck Versus Tom Sawyer (VO)
1
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:06,954
Stu Brewster here.
2
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:11,671
I'd like you all to meet Jeffery Barnes,
the new "Missile Command" world champ.
3
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:15,234
Thanks for joining us, Jeff.
4
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:16,549
My pleasure, Stu.
5
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,632
Now, Jeff, you've dedicated
the last three years of your life...
6
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:21,358
...to playing "Missile Command."
7
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:23,431
You've managed to take a video game...
8
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,910
...and raise it to a level
that can only be described as an art form.
9
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,197
So let me ask the question
on everybody's mind:
10
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,432
What's next for Jeff Barnes?
11
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:35,955
What's next? Uh...
12
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,075
I hadn't really, uh... Heh.
13
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:46,996
How can I make up my mind
when I got so many tasty options?
14
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,318
I've got so many tasty options.
15
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,513
Jeff, please.
16
00:01:04,320 --> 00:01:05,992
There you go, buddy.
17
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:10,915
Score.
18
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:12,874
Powwow on the sales floor.
19
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,190
One of you idiots better light a fire
under Bartowski.
20
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:16,998
He's late.
21
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,191
Aren't you forgetting something?
22
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,748
It's only the most important meal
of the day, bud.
23
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:42,955
Of course, ha, ha.
24
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:44,235
Breakfast.
25
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,033
Thanks.
26
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,910
- What is that? What did I just drink?
- Ginseng protein shake.
27
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,038
Been used thousands of years
in the east to promote yang energy.
28
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,158
And let me tell you, brother.
It does wonders for your wang energy.
29
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,795
- Great, thanks.
- Hey, where were you last night?
30
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,110
We heard you come stomping in
at 4 in the morning.
31
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,477
Yeah, oh, yeah.
It was a crazy night, heh.
32
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,949
Morgan and I stole a car
and then we drove around...
33
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,918
...shaking down liquor stores
and smacking around hookers.
34
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:13,549
Relax. It's a video game.
35
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,756
Oh, good. Video games.
36
00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:18,036
Ellie, what's one night
of blowing off steam?
37
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,431
One nights have a way of adding up.
What's cool when you're in college...
38
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,672
We're just wondering,
what happened to all your big plans, bro?
39
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:29,039
All that talk about backpacking across
Europe or finishing your college classes?
40
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,760
I just have a lot on my plate
at this precise moment.
41
00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:33,399
Like what, precisely?
42
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,908
Chuck, we were happy
when you decided not to move out...
43
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,389
...but shouldn't your life
be moving somewhere?
44
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,474
It's time for you people
to get moving around here.
45
00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:44,517
Show some initiative.
46
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:45,954
Well...
47
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,352
I got just the guy to help.
48
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,112
I'd like you to meet Emmett Milbarge.
49
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:52,998
Emmett here is an efficiency expert...
50
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,311
...and he's been sent by Buy More
corporate to tighten your slack asses up.
51
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,870
Oh, thank you for your very kind words
of introduction, Michael.
52
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,996
I'll be in my office.
53
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,275
Well...
54
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,716
It is just so nice to be here in, oh...
55
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:09,553
Burbank.
56
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:12,359
Burbank, California.
57
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,953
It's just a real pleasure
to meet all of you in the flesh.
58
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,031
- Ahem.
- I, personally, am looking forward...
59
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,395
...to spending more time here
in the Buy More trenches.
60
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,233
Getting to know the rank and the file.
61
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,789
Unfortunately, my visit here
isn't gonna be all be fun.
62
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,077
I'm gonna be interviewing you
and evaluating you on your performance...
63
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,153
...and perhaps even trimming the fat.
64
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,830
So who would like to go first?
65
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,358
We'll just start out simple.
Why do you belong at the Buy More?
66
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:46,069
I satisfy a quota. My dad's part-Indian.
67
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,472
The cool kind of Indian, though,
not like Lester.
68
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:55,636
I used to be in management myself,
so why not, uh, grease the store's cogs?
69
00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:00,431
- Cogs?
- Make sure they don't squeak.
70
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:04,473
If you know what I'm saying.
71
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:08,558
Why do I belong at the Buy More?
72
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,678
I'm gonna have to think about that.
I'm gonna go, I'm gonna grab a soda.
73
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,149
And then... You want one? It's my treat.
74
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,629
I'll... I'll grab you one
and I'll be back in a jiff.
75
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,953
I speak more than one language.
Binary code.
76
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:29,035
Zero, zero, zero, one, one, zero, one.
77
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:30,389
Zero.
78
00:04:32,280 --> 00:04:34,077
What would I do?
79
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,390
I'd just ask, "WWCD?"
80
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:38,519
- What would Chuck do?
- Chuck?
81
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,319
The chain of command?
Well, there's, like, Chuck.
82
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,391
And then there's, like, the rest of us.
83
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:44,709
Oh, and then there's Jeff.
84
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,839
Wonder what Chuck's doing now.
85
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,753
Who represents the Buy More ideal?
Who makes the trains run on time?
86
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,069
Who provides your moral compass?
87
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,037
- Who holds the team together?
- Chuck.
88
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,634
- Chuck.
- Lester. No, Chuck.
89
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:58,915
- Chuck.
- Well...
90
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,398
I'm looking forward to meeting
this Chuck fella.
91
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:04,953
If he ever decides to show up.
92
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:06,348
Oh, Jeez.
93
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,273
- You picked a hell of a morning to be late.
- Yeah, crazy night.
94
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,795
Lover's tryst? Say no more.
95
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,316
Unless you care to infuse your story
with a more tawdry level of detail.
96
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,472
Listen, there's this efficiency guy
and he's been looking for you.
97
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,313
If he asks, you have gallstone issues.
That's a thing, right?
98
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,152
- Morgan.
- I had to think on my feet.
99
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,675
This Emmett guy has been busting my...
100
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,876
Preconceptions. And helping me see
the Buy More in a whole new...
101
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:31,871
Hey, hello. Ha-ha-ha.
102
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,873
This is him, Chuck.
103
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,679
- We finally meet, Chuck.
- Hi, ha, ha.
104
00:05:47,280 --> 00:05:49,111
Are you feeling all right?
105
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:51,149
No, yes.
106
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,231
Yes, I'm fine.
107
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,038
Oh, actually, on second thought.
108
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:56,792
I think my gallstones are acting up.
109
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:58,109
So...
110
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,033
Hi.
111
00:06:14,840 --> 00:06:16,353
Know this man?
112
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:20,229
No.
113
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,356
No. Never seen him before in my life.
114
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,398
Wait. Is that one of the sweat hogs
on Welcome Back Kotter?
115
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,120
- He's a Buy More employee.
- He doesn't work in this store.
116
00:06:28,280 --> 00:06:33,308
But you should check out one of our 13
convenient Southern California locations.
117
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,358
Hmm.
118
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:37,359
Farrokh Bulsara.
119
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,397
Born in the Asir province, 1974.
120
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,313
The past 10 years, he's been hopping
between training camps...
121
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:43,595
...from Syria to Somalia.
122
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:45,671
What does a terrorist want
with a nerd like Jeff?
123
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,593
Insightful question.
That's why we have an Intersect.
124
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,478
We want you to approach Jeff socially.
125
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,996
Get to know him better and see if you
can get him to open up about his past.
126
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,390
You want me to hang out with Jeff?
127
00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:00,439
It's either that or have an agency
interrogation team go to work on him.
128
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,398
Great. It comes down
to either torturing him or torturing me.
129
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,198
Looks like we got a bogey.
130
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,711
- Sarah?
- Is that my sister?
131
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:11,279
What a surprise.
132
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,512
Yeah, um, I was just driving around.
I thought it'd be nice, uh...
133
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,750
I thought it'd be nice if you and I
could talk without Chuck, actually.
134
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,311
Oh, okay.
135
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,318
- Ahem.
- Hey...
136
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,955
Not polite to spy, Chuck.
137
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,510
I would hate it if he found out
that I was going behind his back like this.
138
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,830
Oh, well, your secret is safe with me.
139
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,309
Do you know if he has any plans...?
140
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:36,833
Tonight? Uh...
141
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,594
Actually, I think
he is hanging out with Jeff.
142
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:46,430
- Nerd Herd, creepy-serial-killer Jeff?
- Yeah.
143
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,989
You know, I think it's time
that you and I had a talk.
144
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,557
Hmm.
145
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,519
Well, hope you enjoyed your fro-yo.
146
00:09:08,680 --> 00:09:12,229
Huh, yeah.
I was, uh, just seeing my girlfriend.
147
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,436
Girlfriend? Oh. Ha-ha-ha.
148
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,591
I, too, have a special lady friend.
149
00:09:17,680 --> 00:09:18,795
Henrietta.
150
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,678
She works in our Ontario branch,
Accounts Payable.
151
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:22,512
- Ah.
- She's a real tigress.
152
00:09:24,680 --> 00:09:25,954
Well.
153
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,954
We've gotten our love lives out the way,
perhaps you'd like to sit for our interview.
154
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,476
How's tomorrow? Because
I'm really more of a morning person.
155
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,831
Well, I'll be the judge of that.
156
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:39,870
Hey, buddy. Where you going?
157
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:41,359
What'd I do?
158
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,078
Nothing. No.
159
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:44,673
You know, nothing. Just...
160
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,193
You know,
we never really get the chance to talk.
161
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,078
How about we grab a beer?
162
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,072
No, thanks.
163
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,235
I could be enticed
to grab a dozen beers, however.
164
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,036
- It's a date.
- We can kick it at my place.
165
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,430
You're gonna love Roscoe.
He's my ferret.
166
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:04,669
Ooh, that's...
167
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:09,152
You know what? I'm actually allergic to
every member of the polecat family.
168
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,072
So maybe we could kick it here.
169
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:13,433
Sure.
170
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,919
- Hmm.
- Hmm.
171
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,156
Following a thorough inspection
of the branch...
172
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:26,677
...there seems to be no sign
of intelligent life.
173
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,636
May I present tonight's
feature entertainment.
174
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,834
- You made an Anna music video?
- You like?
175
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:54,475
Wow.
176
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:59,153
It's really... Wow.
177
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,880
I know, man. Heh, she's my muse.
178
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,958
Now if you'll excuse me,
I'm going to slip into my drinking pants.
179
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:08,633
Look at that, ha, ha.
180
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,957
Abort mission, extraction required.
The Intersect has been compromised.
181
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:17,872
Negative. The perimeter is secure.
182
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,429
I'm talking about the weirdo
inside the Buy More.
183
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,239
I'm starting to think that there's
something going on with my brother.
184
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:24,879
Oh.
185
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:26,871
Why? What do you mean?
186
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,076
It's just everything seemed to be
moving along just fine for Chuck.
187
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:35,074
- And you had everything to do with that.
- Oh, thanks, but I can't take the credit.
188
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:36,753
Then, I don't know...
189
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,878
...it's like... It's like he's slipping back
into old-Chuck mode.
190
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,156
You know, no confidence, no direction.
191
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,231
It's the Morgan years revisited.
192
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,072
He went to Stanford, for God's sakes.
193
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,879
Did you know
he's 12 credits short of graduating?
194
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,076
Twelve credits short of a real life.
195
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,235
I know that I sound like his mother.
196
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,472
Just tell me that I don't have anything
to worry about and I will lay off.
197
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,835
Ha-ha-ha, pow, pow, pow.
198
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,877
- No!
- Yes!
199
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:04,234
Pow, pow.
200
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,789
- Quit being such a lightweight.
- Resuming dictation.
201
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:08,359
Yes, yes.
202
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,988
Like to report the following violation
of Buy More policy:
203
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,355
Misappropriation
of the home-theater room.
204
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,637
After-hours consumption of alcohol.
205
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,598
And lewd use of a musical montage.
206
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:21,633
Yeah.
207
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:25,315
Crazy thing happened today.
208
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,358
Uh, some dude came into the store
looking for you.
209
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,432
He had this goofy old picture
and everything.
210
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,477
Only a matter of time, I guess.
211
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:35,839
What?
212
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:37,714
You mean, you know the guy?
213
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,395
I'd imagine he's one of my fans.
214
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,918
You want to see something
I've never shared with anyone?
215
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,630
Please don't be a porno.
Please, please don't be a porno.
216
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,109
I'd like you all to meet Jeffrey Barnes.
217
00:12:56,280 --> 00:13:00,034
The new
"Missile Command" world champ.
218
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,839
"Missile Command"?
I used to kick ass at that game.
219
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,671
Well, I was the best.
220
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:07,831
By breaking the all-time record...
221
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:13,199
...you've won $ 100 in quarters
and a year's supply of Slim Jim's.
222
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,751
This prize will be presented
by none other than Mr. Morimoto...
223
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,117
...CEO and chief engineer
at Atari Games.
224
00:13:24,560 --> 00:13:27,597
Dude, you are so wasted. Ha-ha-ha.
225
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:28,829
Uh.
226
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,468
What is it about bad guys and vans?
227
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,078
Okay, Chuck, party's over. Hey, hey!
228
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,196
I flashed. Some guy on TV,
he's a video-game designer.
229
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:53,998
We have guests. Out the back door.
230
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:55,639
- What about Jeff?
- What about him?
231
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,155
- We can't just leave him here.
- He's dead weight.
232
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,150
- You weren't kidding.
- Let's go, let's go.
233
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,395
If he pukes on my upholstery, he's gonna
wish we left him with the terrorists.
234
00:14:13,560 --> 00:14:14,595
Search the place.
235
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,512
Should I be worried about him?
236
00:14:16,680 --> 00:14:19,717
You know, um, Chuck is, uh...
237
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:21,154
Chuck is like a duck.
238
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,877
Sometimes it seems
like he is just gliding along...
239
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:26,393
...but beneath the surface...
240
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,791
...his, uh, little feet
are just paddling away like crazy.
241
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:36,558
Deep down, I really think Chuck is
an incredibly mature and responsible guy.
242
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:40,113
Chuck?
243
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,438
- Is he okay?
- Yeah.
244
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,431
Don't worry. This guy's feeling no pain.
245
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:46,789
Here we go.
246
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,315
Here we go, big boy. Big boy.
247
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:55,792
What's up, ladies?
248
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:02,309
You take the brunette,
I'm gonna take a crack at the blond.
249
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,149
Heh. This guy.
250
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:18,479
- Oh! Jeff.
- I'm, uh, supposed to give this to you.
251
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,150
"My name is Jeff and I'm lost." Okay.
252
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,870
- Is that your address?
- Yeah.
253
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,270
- We'll get you a cab.
- Already have, already here.
254
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:30,589
Great. So come on, Jeff.
255
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,832
That was a great time last night, huh?
You got smashed and passed out.
256
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,718
We watched and it was really awkward.
257
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:37,393
Okay. Here you go, buddy.
258
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,232
Get home safe.
259
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,354
- Chuck.
- About to have one of those talks?
260
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,954
If I wasn't worried,
last night's performance was...
261
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,873
- Not one of my proudest moments.
- Mm-mm.
262
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,713
I feel like you left all those
back at Stanford.
263
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,397
I'm sorry. I just...
264
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,039
You were so close to graduating.
265
00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:00,398
Maybe if you just went back and finished,
you could move on to the next phase.
266
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,028
- Lf the world were gonna end today...
- I... I hear you.
267
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:04,679
I really do.
268
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,673
But all those goals I used to have,
I still have them.
269
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:10,799
Okay.
270
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,032
Hey, sis.
271
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,630
The world's not gonna end today.
272
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:19,398
I have very reliable sources.
273
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,192
- Wild night, huh, buddy?
- Nah.
274
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:31,713
Pretty standard Tuesday.
275
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:35,759
This is bad. This is very bad.
Can't you see that we're losing them?
276
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,514
I'm your best friend, Jeff.
No, I'm your best friend, Chuck.
277
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,671
Oh, isn't life grand?
278
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:43,432
Maybe we should form an alliance.
279
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,751
- You and me could be best friends.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, dude.
280
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:48,399
Let's not, uh...
281
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:49,959
Let's not panic here, okay?
282
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,680
- Thanks, man. Very comfortable.
- Well, you know...
283
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:54,193
Sure.
284
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:55,788
Excuse me.
285
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:57,712
We need to talk.
286
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,192
My sister thinks I'm an idiot, I know.
287
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:04,399
Actually, we just got some fresh intel
on your favorite video-game designer.
288
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,034
There were a few things
Morimoto left out of his bio.
289
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,794
Yeah. The guy secretly worked
for Japanese military.
290
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,157
In 1980, they launched Morimoto's
first-generation weapon satellite.
291
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,072
The guy who made "Missile Command"...
292
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,117
...commands actual missiles?
- Via satellite.
293
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,635
It's still up there,
dormant but presumed operational.
294
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,268
Anyone knows how to fire
that puppy up, it's Morimoto.
295
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,510
He's working with Farrokh
and the terrorist?
296
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,113
He hasn't been seen in years.
297
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,829
But we captured this image outside
Morimoto's office about an hour ago.
298
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,358
What about Jeff? How's he supposed
to be involved in all this?
299
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,875
Only way to find out
is to get to Atari headquarters.
300
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:40,189
Security's gonna be tight.
301
00:17:40,360 --> 00:17:44,831
If we don't secure the satellite, Jeff's
safety will be the least of our concerns.
302
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:46,274
So how do you wanna do this?
303
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:48,879
Guys.
304
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:51,149
I have an idea.
305
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,668
- Be cool, Casey.
- Have you seen what I'm wearing?
306
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,796
Let me do the talking.
These are my people.
307
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:57,949
Programmers, nerds.
308
00:17:58,120 --> 00:18:01,317
Right now their network is being attacked
by a particularly nasty virus.
309
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,869
Back at Stanford,
we called it the Bartowski special.
310
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,076
Yeah. Real cool there, Chuck.
311
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:12,475
Gentlemen, excuse me.
312
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,914
- What do you want?
- Heard you're having a computer problem.
313
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,389
Someone called. Bill, Bob?
I can't remember exactly.
314
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,118
- A common name.
- We got it covered.
315
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:21,679
- Mind if I take a peek?
- Look, nerd.
316
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,673
Atari has more Ph.D.'s
than frigging Microsoft.
317
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,195
Why don't you go help some old lady
log onto AOL?
318
00:18:27,360 --> 00:18:29,999
Ha-ha-ha, nice one. Ooh!
319
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:35,679
Plan B.
320
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:54,028
Hi.
321
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:57,717
I hear you're having a computer problem.
322
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,277
If I can just get onto the terminal...
323
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,637
...I can set off the fire alarm,
crash the power, create a diversion.
324
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:08,552
Or we could just take the stairs.
325
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,757
Looks like Agent Walker's
got the diversion pretty well covered.
326
00:19:23,120 --> 00:19:26,556
She doesn't know how to fix a computer.
She touches that, our cover is blown.
327
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,508
The CPUs have been overvolted, we may
be able to ghost the drive another system.
328
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:34,150
Ha. The more elegant solution
would be to flash the bios...
329
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,390
...and swap out the cooked CPU.
330
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,434
What are you guys waiting for?
331
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:53,558
Hmm.
332
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,308
Okay. See if I can find another way
into the penthouse.
333
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:57,913
You wait here where it's safe.
334
00:20:01,360 --> 00:20:04,193
This place is creepy.
335
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,434
So creepy.
336
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:16,039
Well, if it isn't my friend
from the Buy More.
337
00:20:16,360 --> 00:20:18,749
What a funny coincidence
finding you here.
338
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,639
Yeah. It's freaking hilarious.
339
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:23,359
What a small world, right?
340
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,751
I got a... I got a call about a computer
that was acting up here, so...
341
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:30,196
- Is this the right floor? I don't know...
- You have the correct floor.
342
00:20:30,360 --> 00:20:31,349
This way, please.
343
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,875
You know, if you're busy,
I can come back another time.
344
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,031
Your timing was perfect.
345
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,678
I hope the machine
doesn't give you too much trouble.
346
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,110
You should not be here.
347
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,192
Um, uh.
348
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,153
Mr. Morimoto?
349
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:14,389
You listening to Rush?
350
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,915
Too late. He took the code.
351
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:18,752
Who are they? Terrorists?
352
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,117
I knew I should never have hidden
the numbers inside the machine.
353
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,317
You hid the satellite code
inside a game of "Missile Command"?
354
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:26,549
Every game.
355
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,188
Hidden in the final board. A kill screen.
356
00:21:29,360 --> 00:21:31,430
A secret level only I could achieve.
357
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,797
The mathematics underlying
the final board are too advanced.
358
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:36,791
It's like the music of the universe.
359
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,559
- Ugh, hands up.
- I am sorry. I cannot do that.
360
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,631
- What's going on here, Chuck?
- Wait.
361
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,758
If the bad guys have the code,
why are you still playing the game?
362
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,559
- Uh-oh.
- What do you mean, uh-oh?
363
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:51,353
You're running out of time.
364
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,671
- Save yourselves.
- Let's get out of here.
365
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:56,876
- No, no, we can't leave him.
- Not this time.
366
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,156
- No.
- Go. Run, run.
367
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:05,789
Come on, come on.
368
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,114
We're sorry to report
Farrokh's team has the code.
369
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:16,599
And they murdered Morimoto.
370
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,832
That means that your duties
are no longer required on this operation.
371
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,310
Casey, we're turning this matter over
to the 30th Space Wing at Vandenberg.
372
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,357
Wait. You're launching an ICBM?
373
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,034
You think you can shoot that satellite
before it shoots us?
374
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,795
Morimoto's satellite will be
passing over California in four hours.
375
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,952
We shoot it down off the coast
before its own missiles are armed.
376
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,318
The satellite falls to Earth
with acceptable civilian casualties.
377
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,392
Wait a second. Acceptable what?
I'd like to hear the bad version.
378
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,232
- We miss.
- What happens then?
379
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,437
Farrokh uses Morimoto's satellite
to start World War III.
380
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,352
Hey. What about the kill screen?
381
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:50,839
- Excuse me?
- "Missile Command."
382
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:52,718
The code is hidden in every arcade game.
383
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,236
If we get to the kill screen,
we get the code and control the satellite.
384
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,757
- We'll have our engineers...
- No, the only way is by beating the game.
385
00:22:59,920 --> 00:23:02,878
- The only person who can beat the game...
- Burned to a crisp.
386
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:04,712
- I was talking about Jeff.
- So was I.
387
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,110
Casey, you coordinate
with the Air Force...
388
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,477
...while Mr. Bartowski
pursues his contingency plan.
389
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:14,155
But I promise you, one way or another,
I am bringing that satellite down.
390
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,159
You want me to come out
of "Missile Command" retirement?
391
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,311
- You're serious?
- Deadly.
392
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,996
- I don't know, man.
- Come on. What's the problem?
393
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,038
I guess I'm just cool
with resting on my laurels and whatnot.
394
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:37,512
But, Jeff, you could be the first guy
to ever get to the kill screen.
395
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,719
Listen, it doesn't exist.
396
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:42,518
The kill screen's just a myth.
397
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:46,150
I promise you it's real.
And you're the only one who can do it.
398
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,676
- I'm a little out of shape, mentally...
- It's just a stupid video game.
399
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,479
That's where you're wrong, Chuck.
It's more than a game.
400
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,350
Besides, what do you care
whether I play or not?
401
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,756
I guess I was just really moved
by what you said last night.
402
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,590
- Huh?
- Oh, you remember.
403
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:10,352
Come on.
404
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:15,709
How you were sick and tired
of busting your ass at this stupid store.
405
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:20,158
How you had this incredible gift that
you couldn't wait for the world to see.
406
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:25,229
- Really? I said that?
- Sure you did, Jeff.
407
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,199
- About "Missile Command"?
- You were very compelling.
408
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:35,592
Okay, I'll do it.
409
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:36,954
- I'll play.
- Buddy.
410
00:24:37,120 --> 00:24:39,759
But first, I'm gonna need provisions.
411
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,115
I need two bottles of grape cough syrup.
412
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,111
One pound M&M's, no brown.
413
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,989
And my lucky arcade game
from the Gas-N-Sip in Tarzana.
414
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:49,674
Done.
415
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:51,354
Really?
416
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:57,830
I want Anna wearing a hula skirt,
fanning me with a palm frond.
417
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:00,951
- Huh?
- I sweat profusely when I play.
418
00:25:01,120 --> 00:25:06,478
And finally, I need a crowd. I want
you to get some of my old fans back.
419
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,154
Come on, people who were into that game
are in their 40s.
420
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,993
They have jobs and wives and kids...
421
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,915
Hey, hey, hey.
422
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,355
Morgan, buddy.
Can you give me a hand with this?
423
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,553
- Why don't you ask your buddy Jeff?
- Uh, he's in the break room.
424
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:28,269
We're putting together this, like,
video-game-exhibition thingy today.
425
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,079
Jeff's gonna make a run at the all-time
"Missile Command" high score.
426
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,310
- Whoa.
- Hey, where are you going?
427
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:34,879
You two guys got it worked out.
428
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:36,712
Morgan, I desperately need your help.
429
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,155
If Jeff doesn't break
the "Missile Command" record...
430
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,072
What, Chuck? World's gonna end?
431
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:46,229
All I know is I need your help, okay?
I can't do this without you. I can't.
432
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:52,635
Hey, hey. Was Jeff the president
of his high-school audio-video club?
433
00:25:53,120 --> 00:25:54,155
- No.
- Ah...
434
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:59,269
Was Jeff a roadie for Mamma Mia!
For four straight summers?
435
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:03,951
Does Jeff own his own smoke machine?
436
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:07,592
No, but I do, huh? Okay.
437
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:09,193
Jeff is a loser, dude.
438
00:26:09,360 --> 00:26:11,271
- I'll see what I can do.
- You're the best, buddy.
439
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,159
Ugh. Oh, I'm gonna need
to borrow your girlfriend.
440
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:15,833
- Oh, dude, she's all yours.
- Great.
441
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:03,195
Jeff! Jeff! Jeff!
442
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,070
I'm here at a Burbank electronics store...
443
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:11,437
...where a local man prepares to break
the "Missile Command" record.
444
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,717
Now, for those of you who
weren't around a quarter century ago...
445
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,553
...Jeffrey Barnes first made his mark on...
446
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,949
- way back in 1983.
447
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:28,632
Sarah, Sarah. I know where Farrokh is.
448
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:32,873
The terrorists are using a television station
to control the satellite. They're in L.A.
449
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,351
Chuck flashed. He knows where
they're controlling the satellite.
450
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:39,750
There's time
before the satellite is in range.
451
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,309
Chuck's right.
There's nothing you can do to stop it.
452
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,836
- I'm gonna go to the news station.
- Knock yourself out. I have my orders.
453
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,231
In 33 minutes and five seconds,
this finger's gonna push that button.
454
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:50,799
Hmm, I'll call you from the road.
455
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:52,154
- Agent Walker.
- Yes?
456
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,756
Who do you trust to bring this down?
Some loser playing a video games?
457
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:56,909
Or Air Force ICBM?
458
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:58,389
I trust Chuck.
459
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,749
Jeff! Jeff! Jeff!
460
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,989
I'd like you to meet Jeffrey Barnes.
Jeffrey Barnes.
461
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:13,068
Oh.
462
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,595
"Missile Command" world champ.
World champ.
463
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:17,352
I don't feel so hot.
464
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,511
No, no. You're gonna be great.
You look great.
465
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:21,830
- You're gonna kill it.
- What was I thinking, man?
466
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,798
No one can get the kill screen.
I can't handle the math.
467
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,270
You've dedicated three years of your life
to playing "Missile Command."
468
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:29,875
It's too heavy.
469
00:28:31,120 --> 00:28:34,317
- It feels like my brain is about to...
- What's next for Jeff Barnes?
470
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,232
"Missile Command" world champ.
471
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:49,670
Jefferson. Hey.
472
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:51,432
I'll get some water.
473
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:53,678
We need to take care of this.
474
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:55,876
All right. Take care of him.
475
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,396
Hey, hey. Come on, buddy. Come on.
476
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:01,993
Wake up, buddy. You gotta play.
477
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:03,752
Get the kill screen, get the codes.
478
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:05,433
If we don't stop that satellite...
479
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:07,830
...they're gonna launch
some missile into space.
480
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:10,876
And then it's World War III.
481
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,474
"Acceptable civilian casualties."
482
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:15,718
Oh, my God.
483
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:21,878
- Hey, what's up?
- Hey.
484
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:23,393
Why don't you get out of town?
485
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,710
Maybe Palm Springs, you and Awesome.
486
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,030
Now would be a great time.
Trip's on me.
487
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,714
- Early wedding present.
- Are you trying to get rid of me?
488
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:32,074
Just thought it'd be nice.
489
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:35,755
- What's gotten into you?
- I don't know. I don't know.
490
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,119
I'm sorry. I know I've been
a bit of a disappointment lately.
491
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,511
I want you to be proud of me.
I just ran out of time, that's all.
492
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:46,468
- We'll talk about this when you get home.
- I gotta run. I love you, Ellie.
493
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,790
Honey, do you think
my brother's on drugs?
494
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:57,991
That'd explain a lot.
495
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:04,036
They're going nuts, okay?
The nerds are gonna tear this joint apart.
496
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,112
- You gotta do something.
- What am I suppose to do?
497
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,829
They came to see video-game greatness,
someone better deliver.
498
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,233
Ladies and gentlemen, our...
499
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,392
Gentlemen, let me introduce you
to the challenger.
500
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,869
Hailing from the City of Angels...
501
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:29,750
...the master of disasters,
the king of sting, the dancing destroyer...
502
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:34,596
...Charles Irving Bartowski.
503
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:19,959
What the...?
504
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:21,917
Who authorized this?
505
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,196
This is an abomination.
506
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,394
You suck, Bartowski.
507
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:44,799
You listening to Rush?
508
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,110
The music of the universe.
509
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:51,548
"Missile Command."
510
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:55,918
The mathematical pattern underlying
the game is exactly the same as...
511
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:58,473
Morgan.
512
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,277
Hey, uh, buddy,
do we carry any Rush CDs in the store?
513
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:04,278
No need. I got them all on my Zune.
514
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:06,591
- You have a Zune?
- Are you kidding me? No.
515
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:08,352
- No, I'll grab my iPod.
- Good, good.
516
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:10,158
I have a very, very special request.
517
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:16,839
On my mark. Three, two, one.
518
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:18,315
Mark.
519
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,719
Welcome to Strategic Air Command,
Major Casey.
520
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:20,995
Engaging telemetry.
521
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:24,514
Arming warhead.
522
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,154
And opening silo door.
523
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,194
- Give me the codes.
- It was destroyed.
524
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:01,679
I am going to do this.
525
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:03,472
No one can stop the satellite now.
526
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:05,835
What's the target?
What's the satellite aimed at?
527
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:07,069
Why? It doesn't matter.
528
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,834
No one will remember
who threw the first stone. Ugh!
529
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:17,513
Oh, my God, gentlemen.
530
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:18,795
We have a kill screen.
531
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:20,552
I got this.
532
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,558
Target's to range.
Releasing synchronized safeties.
533
00:34:24,720 --> 00:34:25,869
On my mark.
534
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:31,112
Three, two, one.
535
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:32,759
Mark.
536
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,118
Fire when ready.
537
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,430
- Chuck, what's happening?
- Sarah, I did it.
538
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,672
I did it. I beat the game.
I got to the kill screen, I got the code.
539
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:58,478
The game, it follows a pattern.
540
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:01,950
It's just like Mr. Morimoto said,
the music of the universe.
541
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:03,109
Just give me the code.
542
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:05,397
Oscar, Zelda...
543
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,631
...Penguin, Gamma...
544
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,598
...Sector, Boppo.
545
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:20,072
Oh, my God.
546
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,953
The satellite's powering down.
Terminate launch sequence.
547
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,953
This bogey's bugging out
and going home. Damn.
548
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:32,870
You did it, Chuck. It worked.
549
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,873
How does it feel to be a hero,
Mr. Bartowski?
550
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,709
Looks like you fools had a hell of a party.
551
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:07,317
Congratulations, Bartowski.
That's quite an achievement.
552
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:10,878
And in light of today's events...
553
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,873
...I'd like to announce
there's a new assistant manager.
554
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:15,837
What did I tell you? It's all coming up.
555
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,798
You all remember Mr. Emmett Milbarge.
556
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:22,396
Mr. Milbarge has volunteered
to stay on for...
557
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:23,754
...well, as long as it takes.
558
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:26,828
That's right, Michael.
559
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:28,797
I'm afraid this branch is sick.
560
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,872
Not the kind of sick
that can be fixed with a Band-Aid.
561
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:34,634
What this Buy More needs
requires a surgeon.
562
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,439
Someone who doesn't mind
getting up to their elbows in guts.
563
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:39,192
- Hmm.
- Ha-ha-ha.
564
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,430
And that's exactly what I'm gonna do.
565
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:46,837
I'm gonna reach in,
wrap my fingers around the disease...
566
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:50,117
...and rip it out.
567
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:03,318
How you feeling, buddy?
568
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:04,469
Better.
569
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:06,710
- Good.
- Thanks.
570
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:11,832
So "Missile Command" champion.
571
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:16,039
I got lucky, you know.
572
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:20,072
Congrats.
573
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:23,318
I'm glad it was you.
574
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,550
- I mean, you sure you're not...?
- Me? Ha, ha.
575
00:37:28,720 --> 00:37:30,119
I'm cool.
576
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,396
Being number one's a real bitch.
577
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,594
It feels like the whole world
is gunning for you sometimes.
578
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:39,352
I can imagine.
579
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:45,476
So, what was it like?
580
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:46,993
The kill screen?
581
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:52,438
Forget it. Uh...
582
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:54,033
I'll see you tomorrow.
583
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:06,712
Oh, I am so proud of you.
584
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:09,075
Ha, ha. Hey, relax.
It's just a video game.
585
00:38:09,240 --> 00:38:11,674
Granted, I am the best
missile commander in the world.
586
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:14,832
I'm not talking about a stupid game.
I'm talking about this.
587
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,070
Sarah told us what's inside.
588
00:38:17,240 --> 00:38:18,514
Huh.
589
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:22,355
My diploma?
590
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:25,238
Oh, don't act so surprised.
591
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:27,197
You sly dog.
592
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:31,148
Sarah also told us about
what you've been doing behind our backs.
593
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:32,912
She did? Really?
594
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:35,469
Yeah. No wonder you've been
such a mess this past year.
595
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,677
Why didn't you tell us
you were taking online courses?
596
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:43,155
Oh, oh, right. That's...
597
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:46,357
You two have some celebrating to do.
She's waiting out back.
598
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:50,035
- You'll thank me for that ginseng shake.
- You really surprised me, Charles.
599
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:00,310
Well, thanks for my fake diploma.
600
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:01,708
What do you mean?
601
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:05,555
I get it. You had one of your CIA pals
doctor it up to get Ellie off my back.
602
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:06,949
It's real, Chuck.
603
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,157
- Come on.
- I'm serious, you graduated.
604
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:11,833
What about my last 12 credits?
605
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,560
Casey and I decided
that your exceptional field service...
606
00:39:14,720 --> 00:39:18,156
...ought to count for something,
and Stanford agreed.
607
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:22,757
Huh, and by "exceptional," you mean,
like, uh, I don't know...
608
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:25,878
...decrypting weapons-satellite codes?
- Electrical engineering.
609
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:28,315
Running away from exploding games
of "Missile Command"?
610
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:29,595
Physical education.
611
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:31,999
You earned it, Chuck.
612
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:41,069
Thank you.
613
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:46,077
You see that star
out there on the horizon?
614
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:50,189
That's the Air Force...
615
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:54,239
...bouncing Morimoto's satellite
off the atmosphere and burning it up.
616
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:55,829
Make a wish.
617
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:57,349
It's yours.
618
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:28,999
Hey, bud.
619
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:30,195
Let's party.
