Chuck versus The End, Part 1

1 INT. CARGO
JET - DAY 1


We see 3 masked commandos facing a tv screen broadcasting CUE
General BECKMAN.


BECKMAN


I realize this is simply a drill as far as the Pentagon is
concerned, but for me it is a matter of pride that Project Omaha was selected
for this trace cell mission.  Your objective is to infiltrate the secret
submarine base in the South China Sea, enter the data center and paint a red X
on the SAN disk array.  The base is on full alert, and you won't have the
cover of night,  but I know you won't let me down.


Beckman pauses for a beat.


BECKMAN


Good luck team!


The TV powers off.


Behind the commandos the rear cargo door opens, revealing
that they are on a C-130 transport plane.  The wind begins blowing in.


2 commandos jump.

leaps back in fear.


He composes himself, covers his eyes and jumps.

The last commando falls through the sky, waving his arms and
legs in a panicked fashion.  Eventually he calms down and spreads his arms
and legs so he can glide down smoothly.

and below them, a series of hills portruding from the clear blue water of the
South China Sea.

uniform underneath.


CUT TO:

SUB BASE - DAY 1


Chuck is walking down a hallway and notices a large glass
window.  Peeking in, he notices it is the data center.  Chuck looks
to the door and notices a security keypad to the side of it.


Chuck looks around and notices nobody is nearby, so he takes
out his iPhone from a waterproof bag and attaches it to the panel using an USB
cable.  He runs a code cracker program and the door opens.


Suddenly an alarm goes off and right lights are flashing
throughout the area.


Chuck dives inside the room.


2 security guards dash towards the room.


The door closes as the security guards fire their paintball
guns at the glass.


GUARD 1


Sorry pal, but you're out.  We shot you through the
glass.  If these had been real guns, you'd be dead.


Chuck points at the bottom of the glass and runs inside the
data center where all the servers are.


The guards look at the bottom of the glass where it reads:


Bulletproof glass by Pacific Bulletproof Co.


The guards look at each other in disbelief.


They try to open the door with their code but it's now jammed.


GUARD 1


Hey!  Somebody help us override this lockout!


CUT TO:


24 INT.
SUB BASE - DAY 1


Chuck is quickly running through the server room, examining
the backs of the servers.  He notices a fiber-optic cable and follows it
to the center of the room, where the SAN disk array stands.


Chuck smiles and pulls out a can of spray paint from his
pants.


Chuck triumphantly spray paints the "X" on the SAN disk array.


General Beckman walks into the room and greets Chuck with a
smile.


BECKMAN


Well done Bartowski.  I knew you wouldn't let me down.


CHUCK


Thanks General.  Actually for a few moments I was really
concerned because this time I didn't have Casey, Sarah and... Morgan backing me
up.  I mean...Morgan may not be as experienced as Sarah and Casey, but he
is the Intersect and I just wanted to say that...


Beckman turns around:


BECKMAN


Exercise is over.  Cancel intruder alert.


Beckman waves to a guard...


BECKMAN


Please escort Bartowski to the mess hall. Chuck we'll do
lunch at thirteen hundred hours.


The guard grabs Chuck's arm and drags him off.


CHUCK


General...I'm not finished...


CUT TO:


25 INT.
WUDANG TEMPLE, CHINA - DAY 1


In the center of a pagoda sits SARAH in a meditative posture,
surrounded by mountain mist and an eerie silence.  She is dressed in a
Bruce Lee yellow jumpsuit like Uma Thurman in Kill Bill.


5 monks appear from the mist and attempt to defeat Sarah by
surprise.


Without using her hands, Sarah leaps to her feet.  She
then defeats the monks in hand to hand combat.


An elderly Chinese female monk with a walking stick enters
the pagoda as the monks start to get up.  She is SIFU LIN and is dressed
in tattered robes. She speaks with a heavy accent.


The below conversation is in Cantonese, with pin yin
phonetics substituted for the actual words.


SIFU LIN


hou2 hou3...Sam.


Over this, Caption: Very good...Sam.


SARAH


M goi Sifu.


Over this, Caption: Thank you Master.


Sarah bows in respect.


SIFU LIN


We missed you here.  It has been a long time...almost
two years since your last visit.


SARAH


I'm not Sam anymore.  My name's Bartowski...Sarah
Bartowski.


SIFU LIN


As you wish...Sarah.


We hear a ring tone from Sifu Lin's pocket.  She pulls
out Sarah's iPhone and hands it to her.  On the screen is a photo of Chuck
and Sarah at their wedding.


Sarah smiles and takes the phone.


SARAH


Hi Honey!...That's great.  See you soon!...I love you.


Sarah puts the phone in her pocket and starts to grab her
things.


SIFU LIN


That smile...I have not seen it for a while.  I assume
that was the man whom you wanted to leave with in Prague two years ago?


Sarah looks embarassed.


SIFU LIN


I'm happy for you...Sarah...please write back more often.


SARAH


I will Sifu...I promise.


Sarah gives Sifu Lin a hug, looks at her mentor and master
with tears in her eyes, and quickly departs.


Sifu Lin turns to the 5 monks who are recovering from their
injuries:


SIFU LIN


What's wrong with you?  You move like a bunch of old
ladies!

A guard approaches their table.  He is HERMAN, a
communications officer, and he hands Beckman her Blackberry.


HERMAN


A call for you, ma'am.  You forgot your phone at your
desk.


BECKMAN


Thank you.


Beckman turns around to take the call.


BECKMAN


What?...yes...I'll be there.


Beckman disconnects and puts the Blackberry back in her
pocket.


BECKMAN


I'm sorry Chuck, but I'm going to have to cut our lunch
meeting short.  I just got a call from Admiral Willard, CDRUSPACOM. 
I'm to leave immediately.  Bye Chuck.


Beckman and Chuck smile at each other for a beat.

Suddenly a TODDLER in a walker runs at Sarah.

Mommy!


Sarah picks the toddler out of the walker and into her arms.
 Sarah kisses the toddler on the forehead.


Sarah surveys the apartment: all the toys are neatly packed
away.  There are pictures of her wedding to Chuck on the wall, as well as
pictures from the many adventures they have shared together.  Her eyes
rest on a picture taken of her in a hospital gown in a hospital bed, holding a
newborn baby, with Chuck right next to her.


Sarah starts to tear up with joy.


Chuck walks out of the kitchen holding a box.


CHUCK


Dinner's already done.  I put everything in the oven to
keep it warm.  I love you.


Sarah and Chuck kiss.


CHUCK


I put some hot water in a foot bath for you as I know how
your feet hurt after a long day at work.  The water should be just warm
now.


Sarah smiles.


CHUCK


And last but not least, I got you a present.


Chuck opens the box to reveal a pair of rainbow coloured toe
socks.


CHUCK


I know how much you love toe socks, and how comfortable they
are.


SARAH


But honey, they're not...sexy.

It's alright dear.  All that matters is you.

CHUCK


When do you want to try it?


SARAH


How about now?  We got a little time...


Chuck just smiles.  Sarah takes his hand and leads him
to the bedroom.


SARAH


Last night was the most fantastic night of my life.


CHUCK


You say that every night.


SARAH


That's because each night keeps getting better and better.

CHUCK AND MORGAN'S OFFICE - DAY 2


Chuck is still snoozing when Morgan begins shaking him awake.


CHUCK


Oh hey Morgan!  I missed you buddy.


MORGAN


Knock it off.  We had this discussion before.  You
are not to tell the Buy More Staff anything.


CHUCK


What?


MORGAN


Look...they report to me.  I'm their boss.  I know
I report to you, but you keep undermining my authority by talking to them
directly.


CHUCK


What?


MORGAN


I told Jeff and Lester to stop fooling around but you
overruled me.


CHUCK


I didn't say anything.  I just said I'd talk to you.


MORGAN


From now on, I'd appreciate you not overrule or undermine my
authority.  I need those guys listening to me, so the Buy More can make
money to finance this operation.

CUT TO:


75 INT.
CHUCK AND MORGAN'S OFFICE - DAY 2


MORGAN


I'm gonna be straight with you Chuck.  It's not about
how much Carmichael Industries is making now.  It's about protocol...it's
about respect. I'm their direct manager.  They have to respect my
authority.  And they won't as long as you keep overruling me.


CHUCK


Buddy...all I said was that I'd talk to you about it.


MORGAN


That's my point.  You should have told them to talk to
me about it.


Sarah and Casey cram into the already crowded office.


SARAH


Guys...I think that's enough.


MORGAN


Chuck and I need to figure this out.


CASEY


Can we at least talk in the boardroom?  Let me get some
water too...


CUT TO:


76 INT.
MEETING ROOM - DAY 2


Chuck is in the hotseat while Morgan makes his case.


MORGAN


You cannot be undermining me like this.  Jeff and Lester
have got to learn to respect my authority.


CHUCK


Buddy...I own the store...and you work for me.


MORGAN


I work for you by managing the store on your behalf.
 And I can't manage the store if you keep overriding my authority.


CASEY


Grimes' gotta point there, Bartowski.  He's the unit
leader and the division commander can't walk in and start changing his orders
without discussing it with him first.  Bad move by marine standards.


Chuck looks at Sarah, who quietly nods in agreement.



Before Chuck can utter another
word, Roan and agents enter the boardroom.


CHUCK


Roan!


ROAN


Sorry to barge in on you like this Charles, but we have
important business to discuss.


CHUCK


What business?


ROAN


Diane....General Beckman's missing.


The team just stares in shock.

She went off alone?

No.  She was being flown to the USS George Washington

SARAH


Did you pick up any distress signal?


ROAN


No.


CHUCK


So how do we fit into all this?


ROAN


Not all of you...just Chuck and Casey.


CHUCK


Why me?


ROAN


You were one of the last people to have contact with the
General.


CHUCK


So I'm a suspect?


ROAN


You're a witness.


CASEY


Why am I involved?


ROAN


We need someone who knows Beckman for consulting purposes.


CHUCK


Why not all of us then?

Sorry...that's all I'm allowed to take.

No they didn't come here to arrest either Chuck or Casey.

ELLIE


Sarah...how did this all start?


SARAH


General Beckman's gone missing.


ELLIE


What?  How?


SARAH


She disappeared on route to a rendezvous with an US navy
carrier battle group in the South China Sea area.


ELLIE


Can we search the reports for any information?


SARAH


Already on it...I'm accessing the CIA's databases now.


ELLIE


You're allowed to do that?


SARAH


Ahh...not really...


Sarah looks embarassed.


SARAH


Chuck and I wrote a hacking program together to get past
their firewalls and encryption...


ELLIE


Sarah...that's not right.


SARAH


Yeah...we know...


ELLIE


Fine...tell me what you have.


Sarah pushes some buttons and a map of the South China Seas
appears, along with icons indicating ship and aircraft locations.


ELLIE


Where's the General's last known location?


SARAH


Here.


Sarah points out a small helicopter icon on the display.


ELLIE


Hmm...nothing nearby but water...


SARAH


No planes or boats close enough to intercept...


ELLIE


How come there's no crash debris either?


SARAH


Have no idea.  It just means that the helo wasn't shot
down...it willingly disappeared.


ELLIE


Hmm...this is getting beyond me.

Chuck leans over to whisper to Casey:


CHUCK


I have a bad feeling about this.


CASEY


Me too.  Just relax.  Get some rest.  We'll
figure something out.


CHUCK


I think they're taking us to the secret submarine base I
broke into for the trace cell mission.


CASEY


Why?


CHUCK


That's where I last saw Beckman before she disappeared?


CASEY


You think these guys are CIA or with the guys that nabbed
Beckman?


CHUCK


Don't know yet.  Please don't let them hurt me.


CASEY


Don't worry Chuck.  You can handle yourself.  And I
got your back.


CHUCK


And I got yours...sort of...well...emotionally...just not as
physically...


Casey looks at Chuck.  They stare at each other for a
minute, than nod in understanding.

Awesome, Clara, Ellie, Mary, Alex, Morgan and Sarah are
discussing the situation.


AWESOME


But why are they taking Chuck and Casey only?
 Sarah...were you not with Chuck too?


SARAH


I was in China at the time.


ALEX


My dad was here all this time.


MORGAN


How is Casey tied to Beckman's disappearance?


ELLIE


They're not connected.


AWESOME


What do you mean?


ELLIE


I mean Casey was not taken away to help find Beckman.


ALEX


What are you thinking?


ELLIE


I think the same person who took Beckman also took Chuck and
Casey.


MARY


And they used Beckman's disappearance as a cover for taking
Chuck and Casey.


AWESOME


But why would the Feds do that?


ELLIE


They didn't.


AWESOME


What?  Sarah saw...


ELLIE


They saw agents.  Pretending to be Feds.


ALEX


Then what agents are they?


ELLIE


Maybe a copycat of the Ring?


MARY


Ellie...that's brilliant!  I knew my daughter was a
natural at this.  So next question: how did they get Beckman?


Ellie, smiling, motions to Sarah.


ELLIE


I think Sarah, your other daughter, has an interesting theory
on that.


Sarah clicks the mouse and a map appears on a large screen.


SARAH


Beckman's last known location was here.  Notice the
satellites didn't pick up any nearby aircraft or ships or debris...the helo
just stops and disappears.


MARY


So it wasn't shot down.


SARAH


No...now see the infrared signatures I just overlaid.


Sarah clicks the mouse again.


SARAH


See that long light red icon there?  We think that's the
heat signature of a submarine.


MORGAN


So you're saying Beckman's helicopter took her to that sub?


SARAH


Yes.


MARY


But how could a sub get Beckman out of there without being
detected?  The navy's patrolling that area all the time.


SARAH


Watch how fast that icon moves.


MARY


That's way to fast for a sub.


SARAH


A normal sub, that is.


AWESOME


What?


ELLIE


We think that sub is a supercavitating sub that can travel
really fast underwater.


MORGAN


Super what?


SARAH


Supercavitating.  It's a technology the CIA stole from
the Russians a while back...the principle is to envelope underwater objects
with a bubble of gas to help them move quickly underwater.


ELLIE


We think that's why the navy ignored that signature during
their search for General Beckman.  It was moving too fast underwater to be
a sub, so they assumed it to be a system glitch.


ALEX


But this sub...it could be Russian, right?


SARAH


Not likely.  The CIA stole this technology from the
Russians back in two thousand by...


MARY


Edmond Pope.  A retired navy Captain.  When I was
undercover at Volkoff Industries I helped get the Shkval torpedo specs to him.
 That torpedo used supercavitation...


MORGAN


So the sub could be an American ship based on that torpedo
design...see...I'm good at this too.


The others just stare at Morgan.


MARY


So we find the sub...we find Beckman.  We get the people
behind the op...


ELLIE


We save Chuck and Casey.


ALEX


Great!  Sounds like a plan.


MORGAN


What exactly is our plan?


SARAH


We'll figure out the details when we land tomorrow in
Shanghai.


MORGAN


Shanghai?


ELLIE


We don't know who in the US government's on our side.
 So to play it safe we are staying on the outside.


SARAH


I called Mei Ling, whose brother we rescued, and the Chinese
ambassador who we saved from assassination. They pulled some strings for us.


MARY


Ok everyone.  Let's pack and meet at Burbank airport in
two hours.


Alex and Morgan leave.


Awesome pulls Ellie aside:


AWESOME


Where are you going?


ELLIE


With everyone else.


AWESOME


Babe...I thought we talked about staying out of the spy world.


ELLIE


Devon...they need my help.


AWESOME


Babe...you have a job...you can't just leave...


ELLIE


I took 2 weeks off without pay once Sarah called me.


AWESOME

Ellie pauses for a beat.


MARY


Ellie...let's hurry.


ELLIE

AWESOME


Ok.  But be careful.  Clara needs her mother.

MARY


Well...yeah...he's very jealous and insecure.


SARAH


Chuck's the same way too.


MARY


So...you thinking of asking Chuck to share your lists?


SARAH


Yeah...I want it clear to him he's the only man I've been
with...ever...


MARY


My son was your first?  Really?


SARAH


Yeah...why are you so surprised?  How long is your list?


Mary looks embarrassed.


MARY


Not long at all.  I was codenamed Frost for a
reason...ok?


Mary reflects for a beat.


MARY


Look...don't let Chuck get wrapped up in the past...I think
it's best to just look forward.

Lunch.  We were having lunch together and she got a call
and took off.


WILLARD


What about afterwards?


CHUCK


I left on the first sub out afterwards.  I was only here
for the trace cell test.


WILLARD


Which sub?


CASEY


Does it matter?  You have records of Chuck riding on
which sub...it's standard operating procedure.


WILLARD


That's the thing...you see...we have no record of Chuck
leaving the base.


CHUCK


What?


WILLARD


We need your help in finding that sub.


CASEY


So you took us without paying us?  You could have just
ordered our services.


WILLARD


Try to understand...it's not widely known that General
Beckman's missing.


CHUCK


Why not?


WILLARD


We can't announce this otherwise the public will lose
confidence in us.


Casey grunts.


WILLARD


We'll pay you a premium for your services...but we need your
help.


CHUCK


Ok...I get it. You want to keep things quiet.  I get why
I'm here cause I can identify the people that took me home, but why Casey?


Casey grunts curiously.


WILLARD


He was a marine.  He can work undercover and fit in here
without notice.


Casey grunts enthusiastically.


CHUCK


So you think some of those involved in the kidnapping are
still here?


WILLARD


We think we have some traitors in our mist.


CHUCK


Fine...I'll start with the security video footage.


CASEY


I'll start mingling and see what gossip turns up.

This panel...it's tied to the closed circuit and

Yup.  And it's activated by smart card.

DOCTOR


A GPS tracking and surveillance chip.


CHUCK


How did that get in me?


CASEY


They must have woken you on the trip out of here, tricked you
into swallowing it along with a sedative so you'd forget.


Casey pauses for a beat.


CASEY


So you had a bug in you the whole time.


Suddenly 3 guards enter along with Roan.


Casey grunts sadly.


ROAN


Sorry Chuck, Casey, but you two are under arrest.


CHUCK


But I didn't swallow that on purpose!


ROAN


We don't know that.


CHUCK


It must have happened while I was sleeping on the sub.


ROAN


You're the only one who's been on this sub.


CHUCK


You know I'd really like to speak to my lawyer.


ROAN


Sorry Chuck.  You were caught with a bug in a top secret
facility.  We're going to have to detain you.

do, Roan stands up, turns to leave, then turns back to face Mary, a thoughtful
look on his face.


ROAN


Mary...how come we never...you know...


MARY


How dare you even suggest it in the presence of my
daughter-in-law!


Roan shrugs as the guards take Sarah and Mary away.

SUB BASE - NIGHT 3


Sarah and Mary are escorted into cells in the same block as
Chuck and Casey.  Sarah's cell, quite conveniently, is opposite Chuck's.


Roan walks in and goes to Chuck's cell:


ROAN


Now that this facility has been compromised the US navy is
evacuating it.  You'll be amongst the last to leave.  Security here
is very tight...don't think you'll be able to escape this one.


At this point, Herman enters.  He is armed and aims his
pistol at Roan.


HERMAN


Figured you'd try to help them.


ROAN


What are you doing?


HERMAN


What does it look like I'm doing?


Herman shoves Roan into another cell and locks him inside.


ROAN


The next patrol will just set me free.


HERMAN


There won't be a next patrol. This base has been compromised.
 After the evacuation they're gonna blow this place up.  With all of
you in it.


Herman turns to leave.


Chuck recognizes him as he exits.


Herman stops by Casey's cell.


HERMAN


Coburn, long time no see.  I see you've sunk to new
lows.  See ya marine...or should I say: fired marine?


Herman laughs on his way out.


Casey grunts angrily.


CHUCK


Even this won't be enough to stop us.


Herman looks over his shoulder at Chuck:


HERMAN


Sure!


Herman exits.
