FUBAR (2023) s02e02 Episode Script

1
[gentle piano music playing]
That's impossible.
- I mourned you.
- And I missed you.
Luke looks like he's seen a ghost.
[computer beeps]
Greta Nelso, East German spy,
presumed dead after her car
plunged into the Spree River in 1989.
That's Greta Nelso?
- You know her?
- I knew of her.
I thought you drowned.
Well, that's what I wanted
the Stasi to think, lover.
Lover?
[phone ringing]
Seriously, Dad?
So this is your daughter.
I should have known.
She she has your intensity.
What exactly is going on here?
[Greta] Simple. You came looking
for Theodore Chips, and he works for me.
You're Dante Cress?
Of course not. I'm a professional
who loves money, and Cress has a lot.
Never met the man. No idea who he is,
but his money's good, so he is my boss.
Yeah, not for long.
[Greta tuts] Chips has his eye on you.
Rooftop across the street.
[dramatic music playing]
Damn it.
[Greta] I give you my word,
nothing will happen to her
as long as she takes a seat,
while you and I have a chat in my room.
I'm good. Don't worry about me.
[Greta] Chips, keep her downstairs.
And if anyone suspicious
comes by the hotel, shoot her.
[Chips] Copy that. Romeo Tango Foxtrot.
That doesn't mean anything.
[Chips] Whiskey Alpha.
That doesn't mean anything either.
My number two
is a few rounds shy of a full mag.
Mine still plays with dolls.
No, I don't. That would lower their value.
[elevator dings]
I
I think it's better
if our little talk [chomps]
is private.
Shall we?
How is it the only one that's gotten laid
in four months is getting more action?
[crackling]
["Tango Flamenco" by Armik playing]
Shall we?
You have my daughter at gunpoint.
Then I suggest you lead.
You're still so handsome, Luke.
[Luke] And you are as reckless as ever.
We've always worked on opposite sides,
but you've never been evil.
You ever have to fake your death?
Live in the shadows?
Always looking over your shoulder?
- That's been my life for decades.
- [button bouncing]
So when I found a quarter billion dollars
in my bank account
and encrypted instructions
to simply flip a light switch
to earn another quarter billion
I took the gig.
[music ends]
[gentle piano music playing]
[patrons chatting indistinctly]
[elevator dings]
[sighs]
[Chips] Hello, sweetie pie.
Garfield?
His name is Clancy.
This is Garfield.
- No.
- [Emma] Yes.
- [Chips] No.
- He's a super popular cartoon character.
There's a balloon of him
at the Thanksgiving Day Parade.
No, no, no, no. I I made him up.
Anyway, I'm quite glad
to be talking to you again.
Honestly, I haven't stopped thinking
about you since our last conversation.
Conversation? We tried to kill each other.
I love your directness.
It's one of the things
that makes me crazy about you.
You are crazy.
[Chips] Oh, look at us.
What a delightful banter we have.
Which needs to stop right now.
I don't wanna talk to someone
who has a laser pointed at my chest.
[Chips] No, no, you're quite right.
No more talking.
I can only give you love ♪
That lasts forever ♪
And a promise to be there
Each time you call ♪
Just shoot me.
And the only heart I own ♪
Is yours and yours alone ♪
That's all ♪
That's all ♪
Are you joking?
I can only give you
Country walks in springtime ♪
Now we both know that you're being paid
for more than just flipping a switch.
["Tango Flamenco" continues]
Please, Greta, we have a past.
It was very important to me.
The Greta I knew
would have never worked for Dante Cress.
Things change.
You still got it.
[Greta chuckles]
That's enough business talk for now.
I got you something.
Your plan ends here.
Plan A does,
but I'll come up with a plan B.
- You didn't stop me.
- [helicopter blades whirring]
Just delayed me.
There's no way
that you're gonna walk out of here.
I wasn't planning to.
Till I see you again, mon amour.
Right, well, must be off.
It's been rather wonderful.
Enchanté, ma chérie.
[helicopter hovering]
Where is she?
[light rock music playing]
Uh, this is not what you think it is.
Really?
Then why isn't she wearing any panties?
[record scratching]
[music ends]
[men speaking indistinctly]
[in Bengali] We're closed.
[Aldon in Bengali]
We're not customers, Bashir.
[in English] I don't keep much money.
[in English] Why?
Dante Cress doesn't pay well?
Your detonator.
I don't know what that is.
Well, do you know what this is?
It's a Kolkata clock tower
I got at a souvenir shop.
- Sharp little tippy tip on the top here.
- [dramatic music playing]
You made that detonator for Cress.
So tell us how to find him,
or I start spearfishing boogers.
I cannot! I cannot tell you anything!
[screaming] Please! Please!
Dante Cress already killed
someone I love! He'll do it again!
[Bashir screaming, panting]
What did he do to you?
Years ago, when he first came to me
I made a mistake
on a spring-trap bomb he ordered.
It malfunctioned.
He sent men to my home.
They took my four children in the yard,
covered them in gasoline
and gave me a match.
[breathing shakily]
They told me to choose one
or lose all. [whimpers]
What did you do?
I chose.
[sobbing]
[guns cocking]
Shit!
- [guns firing]
- [tense music playing]
Shit! They're after Bashir! Go!
[guns firing]
[music ends]
Got him.
[tense music playing]
[gun firing]
[grunts]
[sinister music playing]
What the hell happened?
That man was about to kill Bashir.
I shot him in the back.
[Aldon] The guy we traveled
around the world to question?
He lunged for the hitman's gun.
I I got scared and fired.
Head shot? Nice work for an NSA analyst.
Hey, it's okay. It's not your fault.
[sirens wailing]
We gotta go. Come on.
[music builds, ends]
[Emma] You hanging in there?
[Luke] Well, I didn't know she was alive
and that she works for someone
like Dante Cress.
- Were you ever gonna tell me about her?
- Well, I thought she was dead.
I didn't know you wanted to know
everything about my love life
at the time I was your age.
I don't. I'm just saying that I think
I can't believe you had a romance
with a spy at the height of the Cold War.
It was at the end of the Cold War.
And it was actually the relationship
that helped end it.
Oh, and here I thought it was
the economic collapse of the Soviet Union.
Well, two things
could be true at the same time.
Hey, what are you doing?
We have to scan this for bioagents
and explosives, and all the other--
Come on.
- Or just ignore me.
- I mean, this is not Greta's style.
She would want to look me in the eye
when she kills me.
Or when you kill her.
Or when I kill her.
Is that a pipe?
No. This is not a pipe.
Okay, Magritte, what is it then?
It's a two-way radio
tuned to a specific frequency.
[Roo] Huh.
That's how Greta and I
used to communicate in the '80s.
But you keep the top on, you listen.
You take the top off,
and you talk into this transmitter.
[Roo] Huh.
Can we trace her with it?
No, she would never use it
long enough to track her.
Why did you have a COVCOM with the enemy?
I needed kompromat on Gorbachev.
And Greta had it.
That blackmail actually helped us
tear down that wall.
[Roo] Hmm.
The enemy of your enemy is your friend.
Friend with bennies.
It was a very complicated relationship,
but we never betrayed our countries.
We only found pleasure
in each other's company.
And in each other's pants.
They definitely were fucking.
[Emma] Ugh.
[electronic warble]
No bugs or trackers.
[transmitter clicks]
[playing on transmitter]
Who's that gigolo on the street? ♪
With his hands in his pockets
And his crocodile feet ♪
Hanging off the curb
Looking all disturbed ♪
At the boys from home,
They all came running ♪
- They were making noise ♪
- [Greta] Took you long enough, Luke.
Remember our song?
How we'd dance?
Cat got your tongue?
I hope not. I may need it in the future.
- Oh God.
- Gross.
[Greta] But I'm warning you,
you come between me and my work,
and our dance will have been our last.
Sweet dreams, my Liebling.
[song ends]
[Tally] I can't believe Greta is alive.
You told me she was dead.
Well, I thought she was dead.
And that you loved her once.
But it was way before you.
I mean, you have nothing to worry about.
[Donnie] Except for
the hot former girlfriend
who's back in your life
after years of being apart.
And I can attest that having a spy
enter your relationship
does not always work out so well.
Right, Carter?
We're not friends, man.
We just live together.
Whatevs.
Oh my God.
What you doin' with that hat, buddy?
Inventing shit.
Mrs. B., Luke was forced
to go into that hotel room.
Forced to dance, and
It all happened at knife point.
- A knife didn't make that.
- All of this happened against my will.
And I'm sure you hated every minute.
[in Italian] He must think I'm an idiot.
Okay, are you guys breaking up or what?
Franklin & Bash is about to start.
[soft rock music playing]
[sighing] Okay.
[music fades]
- [Emma] So, what's Greta's next move?
- Yeah, right.
Um. [clears throat]
She won't hit
the Beaumont Lake power plant again.
They, uh, they shut down the retrofit,
so it isn't a viable target
for her anymore.
Well, she will find another way
to attack the power grid, trust me.
- She's very smart.
- Yeah, but she's not an engineer.
And the US electrical grid is a labyrinth.
She'd need an expert
to navigate what to target next.
And with Dante Cress footing the bill,
she'll pay for the best.
We need Todd Demps,
former lance corporal in the Army,
part of the Office
of the Assistant Secretary
of the Army of Installation,
Energy, and Environment.
- He was a part of what?
- Yeah, what was that?
Part of the Office of
the Assistant Secretary of the Army for
[laughs]
Real funny.
Anyway, Demps, a disgruntled employee,
caused the Northeastern blackout of 2003,
putting tens of millions into darkness
from Ohio to Ottawa.
I remember that story now.
He spent 12 years behind bars.
When he got out, he went to ground,
and nobody has seen him since.
But if we could track him down,
he could tell us how Greta's gonna pivot.
If anyone would know how to hit the grid,
it would be Demps.
Let's search for him.
Hey, did you retrieve anything
from the BlackBerry?
[Aldon] Tina's working on it,
but I'm not gonna lie,
it got pretty hairy out there.
What I can't figure out is how--
How does Cress even know
that we're targeting Bashir?
The only ones that knew
were the people in this house.
- And Tina, and Reed--
- Are you getting at something?
[intriguing music playing]
I don't know yet.
[doorbell ringing]
[music fades]
Peonies for your thoughts.
I almost bought the farm in Sardovia.
And I came this close to being sucked
into the power plant's chop-o-matic,
and after seeing what happened to Dot,
it just got me thinking
If my life were to end,
what would my obituary say?
"Aldon Reese died today."
"He had a thousand one-night stands
and zero meaningful relationships."
[Dr. Pfeffer] A thousand?
Oh my.
Yeah, I've had tons of sex.
Yeah.
But I've never made love.
Well, tell me more about that.
[inhales] Well, it's kind of crazy.
When I was in that underwater pipe
facing real death
[dramatic music playing]
I kind of felt like
it wasn't the worst way to go out.
Because at least it was with Emma.
Like, honestly, I felt comfort in that.
But [chuckles]
I don't know, what does that mean?
Do I love Emma?
Or is it just a defense mechanism?
How old are you?
Thirty-two.
I have your file. I know how old you are.
- And you're having a midlife crisis.
- I'm a little young for that.
Hmm. Not if you know math.
And if you know actuarial tables,
you're actually past midlife,
especially given
your dangerous line of work.
Getting older before achieving
certain goals, relationship or otherwise,
is a very delicate topic.
The question is, do you really love Emma?
Or does she just check a box
off of your bucket list?
Well [sighs]
Honestly, what I felt
in that pipe was real.
Which is a problem
because Emma said that it would be
a mistake for us to be together.
And what she meant by that
was that that I'm a mistake.
And she's she's right.
You know, I've never
taken any relationship seriously, so
So why should I be taken seriously?
Well, how do we fix that?
Well
- Uh
- [intriguing music playing]
I have to prove to her
that I'm more than a walking stud farm.
- Mm-hmm. Correct.
- I need to learn to love.
I need to learn to care
for something other than myself.
That's right. You need to find
an outlet for your love.
Yes, and I need that outlet
to come from my heart.
- Yes.
- And not my wiener.
Maybe you are younger than your file says.
Oh my God, Demps is so boring.
I've watched this in double speed,
and he barely even blinks.
- Trial transcripts are
- [phone vibrating, ringing]
hardly riveting either.
[phone beeps]
Hey. I've got an update
on the frozen Dante Cress accounts.
You were able to track the money?
All deposited
into a numbered Swiss bank account.
But Swiss privacy laws are strict.
Without several signed warrants,
which could take months to obtain,
they aren't giving anything up.
But I'll keep digging.
Though none of this would be necessary
if I didn't shoot
our best lead to Dante Cress.
It's not your fault.
The important thing is you came home safe.
[Tina] Thanks.
And when you're finally able to come home,
I've got a little surprise for you.
I did a little shopping
at that store you like.
SuperBabe's Boudoir?
Let's just say you should get ready
to drop Thor's hammer.
[whimsical music plays]
Bye, Barry.
[intriguing music playing]
CIA STILL PURSUING CRESS.
SENDING THEM DOWN ANOTHER DIRECTION.
[Roo] This is useless.
Demps could be anywhere.
Actually, he can't just live anywhere.
He needs to be close to a pharmacy.
What's your theory?
[Dr. Pfeffer] See those yellow spots
on his eyes?
They're pingueculae,
caused by an accumulation
of glucocerebrosides.
A classic sign of Gaucher disease,
treatment for which
consists of enzyme replacement therapy.
And if he's not going into a hospital,
it means that he's receiving
regular IV bags for treatment,
which can't be shipped
in a hot mail truck,
or the meds are rendered impotent.
Psychiatrists go to med school.
Okay, so Demps has to be
near a pharmacy to get his meds.
I can run a list of pharmacies
where his drugs are being prescribed.
Hey, if this works, you get candy.
- [computer beeps]
- Sixty-eight pharmacies.
That is too many to check.
Cross-reference
with those near rural areas,
preserved land where Demps could hide.
Down to 12 pharmacies.
Are any near a sustainable power plant?
Like hydro, solar, geotherm,
or anything like that?
Bing, bang, boom. We're down to one.
Pulling up the sat feed now.
Looks like a compound.
A few structures in a wooded area.
- That's gotta be where Demps is hiding.
- Good work, doc.
Demps' profile
shows a modern-day Unabomber.
Paranoid personality disorder
with avoidant and antisocial tendencies.
He will not be appreciative
of anybody just dropping in.
He had a chance at his trial
to talk about his ideologies,
yet he pled the Fifth.
A sign he's given up on
ever actually being heard.
He won't trust you.
You need to catch him off guard,
and you need to make him talk.
So, what's the game plan?
Well, you got 60 acres fenced in
with one way in, one way out.
He's paranoid.
He'll have cameras around the perimeter.
- So we parachute in.
- But we gotta be careful.
Odds are high
that this guy's got weapons up the b-hole
and doesn't sound like he plays nice.
Neither do we.
Let's go.
Keep our heads down, stay frosty,
'cause we don't know who else
Boro sold our identities to.
- Anyone could be out there. All right?
- [Roo] All right.
Let's go. You too.
- Not bad.
- [Dr. Pfeffer chuckles]
[paper rustling]
Stay frosty.
Oh, Werther's.
[adventurous music playing]
[music fades]
So Langley wants me to take over for Dot.
Good. One of our own in the boss's chair.
That'll make life easier.
Well, I'm not accepting the job.
After we stop Greta,
the CIA wants me to make a recommendation.
I was considering putting your name up.
For real?
Why not?
You're tough, you're smart,
and you were trained by the best.
What about Aldon? He's senior.
I offered Aldon years ago
a promotional position,
but I think he's still too much
into the action.
Yeah, it's a pretty awesome dopamine hit,
but I guess I could pass that up
for a chance to boss people around.
- What about your kid?
- Emma? She's too young.
Plus, I think she has her eye on Unit 9.
Unit 9? That's a hefty brass ring
to be reaching for.
I think she can pull it off,
as much as I think
you can pull off regional director,
but I just want you to know
you're not the only candidate.
I'm also considering submitting Farkas.
That abacus humper?
I know he's a pain in the ass,
but he was always a great field operative.
Until his team left him in Belarus
for being annoying.
But he made it back to the United States
with $13 in his pocket.
He's very resourceful.
I saw him eat a head of lettuce
like it was an apple.
He crushes it when it comes to accounting.
I mean, he always got us all the funds
we needed to pull off our case.
- Right?
- Mm-hmm.
[Luke] So I will consider
both of you fairly,
and I'll make
the best decision for the agency.
Well, I appreciate it, boss.
[alarm blaring]
- Coming up on Demps' compound.
- [Luke] All right. Comms in.
Gentle winds, clear skies.
Should be an easy jump.
- Security?
- [Barry] Thermal stats picked up batteries
and over 100 security cameras
along the perimeter of the fence
which means you have to drop
directly on top of the compound
to prevent Demps from spotting you.
I've already notified the pilot.
All right, the play is simple.
We land without being spotted.
We rush the house, and we secure Demps.
- Got it?
- Aye aye, Cap.
[door alarm beeps]
- Go time.
- [Barry] Comm trackers are responding.
Reading altitude clearly.
You'll open up chutes in three,
two, and one.
[computer beeping]
- Looking good, team.
- [exhales]
[phone ringing, vibrating]
[phone beeps]
Director?
I want a sitrep, Putt.
Our team's targeting
an electrical grids expert
as we speak, sir,
with the hopes of determining
Greta's next move,
and we've also allocated resources
in defining Cress' identity.
We don't have time
to play Agatha Christie, Putt.
Just forget Cress
and focus on safeguarding the grid.
We assumed the CIA would've
great interest in who's fund--
If a gorilla's beating
my nephew with a bat,
do I care who gave the gorilla the bat?
I'd be curious.
Do first things first, for Christ's sake.
Copy that, sir.
[phone beeps]
Here, honey. Your heart pill.
I'm gonna need to start taking them
if this kind of stuff continues.
- [Barry] Check's in the mail?
- Puppy's in the pound.
We're coming up on the cabin.
[woodpecker pecking]
[metal clicking]
Soil doesn't usually go click.
Don't move.
[ominous music playing]
- It's a landmine.
- Damn it, that's my foot with five toes!
Don't panic. I can easily talk someone
through defusing it.
It's okay. During training,
I disarmed one in record time.
Well, it's easy to be fast
with dummy munitions.
Oh yeah? What was your time?
All right, you stay with her.
Aldon, you come with me.
We need to secure the cabin and Demps.
If he has mines,
who knows what else he's packing.
We'll be okay.
What are you looking at her for?
I'm your best friend.
- I am on the mine.
- I'm not.
I'm just
- [clears throat] Okay.
- Come on let's go.
It's bogus, dude. It's bogus.
Oh, Uncle Barry,
I'm sending you a photo of the mine.
[shutter clicking]
[Barry] Got the serial number,
and now the schematics.
Okay, you have to find
and open a side panel.
Should be on the opposite side
of the serial number.
[Roo exhales sharply]
Did you really break the record
defusing a mine at The Farm?
Yeah, third try.
- How did you do on the first two?
- Uh, incomplete.
How do you get incomplete on a mine?
Oh shit!
[tense music playing]
[door unlocks]
[door creaking]
[Emma grunts]
Freaking thing won't budge.
[Roo groans]
I knew the spy gods
were never gonna let me have nice things.
Meaning?
Meaning your old man
was gonna put me up for regional director,
but now I'm gonna
get my cooter blasted out my pooter.
Really, you? Regional director?
Why is that surprising?
Just didn't figure you
for the management type.
Well, your dad does.
Okay, super.
And what do you think?
That I should focus on the mine.
Wow. You know what? I should take
my foot off this thing just to spite you.
[eerie music playing]
Bathroom is clear.
Copy bedroom.
But this is definitely Demps' place.
Well, then he must be in the compound.
Must've seen us come and hid.
[Aldon] Hmm.
Well, he couldn't have gone far
if he didn't take his landmine map.
[Luke] Wait a minute.
[dramatic music playing]
[Aldon] Huh.
Well, I'm guessing this is secured
with a tougher lock
than the one on the front door.
Let's search the outside.
Underground rooms need ventilation.
[Emma grunts]
[exhales sharply]
This plate is soldered shut.
What an asshole.
Or maybe he's misunderstood.
- What?
- Just saying.
You're not always
the best judge of character.
'Cause I don't think
you'd be a good regional director?
You admit it.
What do you care what I think?
I don't have any say.
- Just tell me.
- Fine.
Sometimes you can be unprofessional.
Eat shit. That's not true.
This vent must be around here somewhere.
Hey, little fella.
[pig snorting]
You want this?
Hey, stop screwing around
and look for the vent.
This wood's like a hundred acres.
The vent could be anywhere.
Hey, Hundred Acre Woods. I found Piglet.
Hey, Barry, use the thermal imagery scan
to see if there are any low-lying
warm air streams around the property.
- 'Cause if we find that, we find the vent.
- Good thinking.
I got a pick-up 15 yards west.
- Come on.
- Here you go, bud.
Here you go.
- [sinister music playing]
- [fan rattling]
Which one's the input?
This one.
I hear the fan sucking in air.
- I'm gonna smoke him out.
- Copy that.
[Luke] Emma, how goes it?
Slow but steady. Roo's a bit testy.
'Cause you're a jerk.
How am I a jerk?
I'm literally trying to save your life.
And you're the one who called me
"Her Majesty" the other day
for using Dijon mustard.
That why you don't think
I'd be a good director?
I'm not fancy enough?
I'm the "yellow mustard" of people?
No. I just think the job
calls for a particular mindset,
and you can be unruly at times.
You were mad at me,
and you filled my locker with pudding.
[laughs] Nice try. That wasn't me.
Bottom line, the regional director
needs to be disciplined.
I am disciplined.
You know how long it took me
to make all that pudding?
[bird squawking]
Plate's open.
- [Barry] Let's talk which wires to cut.
- [Luke] See?
Teamwork makes the dream work.
[fan rattling]
[coughing]
[Aldon] Well, hiya, Todd.
I'm with the CIA, and I've got
a few questions about electricity for ya.
[coughs, wheezes]
[Barry] You just need to pull
the black wire near the trigger pin.
All the wires are black.
- Shut up.
- No, you shut up.
Be quiet. I hear something.
[branch breaks]
- [guns firing]
- Get down.
[tense music playing]
We got hostiles!
Get down!
These guys with you?
If they were,
why would they be shooting at my house?
[guns firing]
Everyone still breathing?
For now. How did Greta find us?
[guns firing]
[bullets whistling]
Are you using me for cover?
How many combatants are there?
Thermal camera says ten.
Make that nine.
Barry, how did you not
see these guys on thermal?
I had the landmine schematics
open on my screen.
We gotta get out of here.
Okay. Let me get my purse.
Oh wait, I'm standing on a mine!
- Where did you get the mines?
- Army surplus.
It was left over from the DMZ.
Did you hear that, Emma?
They're ancient.
They may not be operational.
Not the best option, but we might
have to take a chance and run.
Easy for you to say.
It's not your piggies at risk.
The mines might be too old to work.
Scratch that. They work.
Aldon, Dad, I need heavy cover.
On it.
What are you doing?
If we can't take you off the mine,
then we're taking the mine with us.
As long as the pressure plate
is compressed,
it won't go off, and we can run for cover.
You want me to run
with a mine strapped to my foot?
No, I want you to run your ass off
with a mine strapped to your foot.
[gun firing]
[groaning]
Why is this happening?
I just wanted to be left alone.
After you tried to destroy the country?
I tried to save the country.
I caused the blackout as a last resort
to show the government
how vulnerable we are.
I tried to warn them for years.
Nobody listened to me.
And instead of thanking me,
they threw me in jail.
What a surprise. A convict is innocent.
Damn right I was.
I was the only person
who understood the danger,
the only one who put it all together,
and they all ignored me.
I gave up everything. My life, my job.
And after they locked me up,
they actually patched the grid issue
that I exploited for the blackout.
Secretary of the DOE gets all the credit.
I get a daily hour of yard time.
[scoffs] You don't believe me?
I have proof.
[guns firing]
[moaning]
[guns firing]
After I got out, I continued my research
[glass shattering]
and what I found scared me to death.
Four energy plants that,
if all taken down,
would cause an overload so severe
that the entire nation
would lose power irreparably.
[panting] They really didn't fix anything.
It's like Jenga.
You keep pulling out pieces,
eventually, everything will collapse.
Then why is that report here
in the middle of the woods
instead of on someone's desk
in Washington?
For the same reason
I'm in the middle of the woods.
Everyone thinks I'm crazy.
- Todd
- [guns firing]
I believe you.
But we need your help.
See these guys out there
that are shooting at us?
Well, they're trying to wipe out
the entire grid.
They're gonna force you into helping them,
so keep your head down.
We'll get you out of this, okay?
[guns firing]
- You ready?
- No!
You want me to trust my life
to some prissy Devil Wears Prada belt?
It's a tac belt. It's a quality belt.
Okay, but if this fails,
I am gonna haunt your ass so bad.
Deal.
Here we go, guys.
Copy. Lay it down.
[adventurous music playing]
[Roo panting]
[Roo grunts]
Everyone okay?
Seeing as I have a detonation device
attached to my foot, no.
[panting] I have a fix for that.
Follow me.
[exhales sharply]
This is so undignified.
We need to evac.
It's only a matter of time
before Greta's mercs breach the cabin.
- Do you have a car?
- They're in the barn.
The barn's 50 yards away.
- They'll pick us off.
- Not if we're underground.
We use the exhaust vent.
It clears out into the forest
near the barn.
It'll take a few minutes
to remove the fan to get out of the vent.
Then get to work.
- This isn't gonna work.
- [Aldon] Don't worry, okay?
Just start slowly sliding your foot out
as I use the belt
to mimic the pressure on the mine.
It's just like in Raiders
when Indy swaps out
the bag of sand for the gold idol.
He screwed that up!
[music fades]
You're right.
[groans]
We're running low on ammo,
but as soon as we stop shooting,
they will know that we're out.
- Then they'll come charging in here.
- How do we work around that?
[Chips] If you're wondering
What I'm asking in return, dear ♪
You'll be glad to know
That my demands ♪
What the shit is this?
Ugh, I have an idea how.
I'm gonna go and talk to Chips
while Demps finishes clearing the vent.
- But why would he talk to you?
- He's kinda into me.
Good God, who isn't into you?
And his voice really isn't that great
if you think about it.
Eyes on the prize, man!
Okay. Sorry.
Your foot's almost out, okay?
I'm gonna toss this out the window,
and it's gonna blow.
- So be ready to hit the deck, okay?
- Heave that shit!
[tense music building]
[music fades]
[Roo] Oh.
- That is a quality belt.
- [Luke] Hey.
Get downstairs, help Demps remove the fan.
- Okay.
- Go.
[Emma] Hey. Back my play.
It's not that different from what you did
with Unit 9 in El Salvador in '96.
That was a hostage negotiation,
and I had three operatives with me.
Dad, I've got you.
That's better than three guys.
[inspirational music playing]
Okay kiss ass.
[Emma chuckles softly]
Theo?
- Theodore, are you there?
- [Chips] Yes, my darling.
How about a ceasefire?
[Chips] A détente? With guns down?
No, no.
Guns pointed right at each other
so no one can try anything.
Mutually assured destruction.
[Chips] Oh, I love it!
[intriguing music playing]
[Chips whistling softly]
Heavens, you are nothing if not stunning.
So we're at a stalemate.
Not really.
I have you outmanned,
I have you outgunned.
It's just like that
Les Mis song, actually.
- Hamilton.
- Who?
The song you're thinking of,
it's from Hamilton.
- Agree to disagree.
- No, it was Hamilton.
Look at us bickering
like an old married couple.
- It just feels so right, doesn't it?
- Whatever.
We can either stay holed up in there
and pick you guys off one by--
Anyone ever told you
you look like a young Sigourney Weaver?
You have the same beautiful eyes.
Powerful and feminine.
Notice how I didn't say
"powerful, but feminine."
Man, I am on quite the art-therapy run.
That Dr. P really knows what he's doing.
- What Is everything okay?
- Sorry, Carter, things are tense.
It's like Sigourney's performance
in Beaches.
- That was Barbara Hershey.
- Agree to disagree.
Let's leave this compound
and go to Europe.
- Where would we go?
- We'd go to all the best places, darling.
We'd go to Paris and Rotterdam.
- Montreal and Liechtenstein.
- That's not in Europe.
Would we go naked?
Of course we'd go naked.
How else would I get to know you?
What on God's green earth
is happening right now?
Naked is a spy term
for going in without backup.
Now, be quiet, or go in there with Donnie.
- [Donnie] I got ice cream!
- Well, that does it for me.
If we were a celebrity couple,
you know what they'd call us?
"Chemma."
- Celebrity couples always break up.
- [Chips] Not necessarily.
Look at Garner and Affleck,
or Angelina and Brad,
or Demi and Ashton.
All famously broken up.
Agree to disagree.
Now, my keen adversary in war
but not love,
what have you come to offer?
Okay, we removed the fan.
We can head to the barn now.
No. We go when Emma comes back in.
Pitch is simple.
I hand over Demps in return
for safe passage for my team and me.
- You double-crossing son of a--
- Hey, hey. Shh.
Well, aren't you full of surprises?
Never thought you'd offer Demps.
We're not gonna turn you over.
I mean, this is a bluff.
Now, Aldon's gonna let go.
Don't blow it by trying to run.
This is your chance now
to prove to the world
what kind of a patriot you've been.
Okay?
Don't take this personally,
but I'm gonna keep my research
on me at all times.
We're in a no-win scenario.
Maybe Demps' information
about the grid is legit,
maybe not.
Either way, neither of us
will get out of a gunfight unscathed.
We make a deal, we all walk away,
live to fight another day.
That'd be nice. Well, I'm on board.
I need to ask the boss, of course.
Is Cress even awake right now?
Ah, clever girl,
trying to figure out what time zone
the mysterious Dante Cress is in.
You know, I did the same thing
with Greta, but she has no idea either.
You know, he's he's like Harry Houdini.
No, he isn't.
- Everyone knew who Harry Houdini was.
- Really?
- Who was he?
- He was Harry Houdini.
[Chips laughing]
You're hysterical.
I love it. I love the way
your brain works. It's like
[exhales sharply]
[inhales]
Now, if you'll please excuse me, uh,
may I have a moment to call Greta?
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Let's go to our respective corners.
- Mm-hmm.
- Touch base when you're done.
- Yes.
- I've really enjoyed our third date.
- Third date?
First one was at the power plant.
I tried to kill you.
Then that time
I serenaded you in Prague, remember?
Oh, right, with a gun pointed at my chest.
Well, at your heart, my love.
It was right there at your heart.
You know, I get a strange feeling
Whoopsie.
that our fourth is gonna be magical.
Duty calls. Watch your step.
Well done. But I don't like this guy.
- Me either.
- [Aldon] Me either.
He has a nice accent.
- Sack tap.
- [winces]
Move it.
[suspenseful music playing]
Come on, let's go.
Switch on the lights.
[guns cocking]
[Chips tutting]
Drop your weapons.
Lads.
[Chips sighs]
I'm sorry I didn't trust you, Emma.
I never called Greta. Instead,
I came here and cut off your escape.
You see, I know you're not the kind
of person who would turn in Demps.
But on the plus side darling,
look how highly I think of you.
So come on, let's go.
Let's head off to the continent.
- Go to hell.
- [Chips] With you, gladly.
It'd feel like heaven.
[in German] Crazy bastard.
[in German] I am crazy, sir.
[in German] Crazy for your daughter.
[in English] But alas,
if she won't come with me,
I'll have to leave her to the same fate
as the rest of her team.
So, Emma
one last chance at eternal bliss.
Get fucked.
I will miss your spirit.
Right, well,
she's made her regretful choice
[clears throat]
so kill them all.
Except Luke. Just maim him,
or Greta will finish us both.
Cheerio.
[tense music playing]
Thank you so much, guys.
[music intensifying]
[engine starting]
Oh, mind the body.
Now!
[grunting]
[man 1 groans]
- [man 2 groans]
- [man 3 groaning]
[man 4 groaning]
[music fades]
[panting]
[metal clinking]
- [glass shattering]
- [grunting]
Oh, bloody hell.
Whoopsie.
[grunts]
- [exhales]
- [bullets whistling]
Fuck!
[chuckles]
Well, bully for me.
[panting]
Where's my Right.
[panting]
Oh bollocks.
Greta. Greta, come in. Can you hear me?
[Greta] Do you have Demps?
Demps? Demps is dead.
But I have his research.
I'm gonna have to read it off to you.
Right?
- So
- [gun fires]
Yeah. Yeah, okay. Okay.
Now, there are four points
of vulnerability.
If we shut down
all four of these power plants,
it creates a an overload,
which the grid can't handle,
and it all goes down.
[ominous music playing]
- [Aldon grunts]
- [groans]
- [both grunting]
- [tense music playing]
[grunts]
[Aldon panting]
[gun clicks]
Shit.
[pig squealing]
- [Aldon grunting]
- [groaning, gagging]
[man 4 groaning]
[man 5 grunting]
[Luke grunts]
[exhales]
[pig oinking]
"That'll do, pig."
"That'll do."
Yes. Yeah, and that's the second point.
And then
- Well, there's nothing else on the page.
- [Greta] Destroy it.
Find the rest of his research.
I need all four vulnerabilities.
[dramatic music playing]
[dramatic music intensifies]
Read anything good lately?
"The third and the fourth most vulnerable
locations in the power grid are"
What are the other two?
Good luck getting it out of me. [laughs]
[Chips moans]
[Chips laughs]
[thudding]
I don't need you.
I'll get it from Demps.
Demps?
[Demps exhales]
[Demps grunting]
I'm okay! I'm okay, I'm good!
[Chips chuckles]
You were saying?
