"MORGAN:" "Chinese." "CHUCK:" "Chinese?" "MORGAN:" "Oh, yeah, man." "It's what an evening with Morgan's all about." "You didn't forget to tell her, did you?" "No, no, no, of course not, no." "She's looking forward to it all week." ""Oh, when are we gonna hang out with your funny friend?"" "She says that?" "Good, good, good." "Yeah." "Make sure her head's in the game." "This is her shot to prove she has something to bring to this relationship." "Feel me?" "Nothing but feeling you." "Good, good, good." "An evening with Morgan will begin at 7 sharp." "Bring your A game." "Love you, pal." "An evening of Morgan." "Okay, so here's the thing." "Uh, he's my best friend." "And I haven't gotten to spend any time with him or Ellie this week and so he really wanted us to hang out tonight." "For an evening of Morgan?" "I thought being stationed in Khyber Pass for six months was brutal." "If you're so sad about not being included, Casey, you could say so." "Dinner with you and Morgan." "I'd rather Afghani warlords bleed me from my liver." "He's a happy person." "Mm-hm." "I appreciate that about him." "And he works hard, so..." "[MEN TALKING INDISTINCTLY]" "[CELL PHONE RINGING ]" "[IN MANDARIN]" "WOMAN [ON PHONE] :" "An evening with Morgan will consist of three acts." "Act One:" "Dinner." "What are we having?" "A little delicacy called sizzling shrimp." "We're gonna pack our bellies so full, you're gonna make a seal jealous." "Wow, sounds like quite a night." "Oh, and that's just the beginning." "Dinner will be followed by a screening at Chuck's of the greatest kung-fu film:" "BOTH:" "Enter the Dragon." "Prepare to die, my bearded friend." "Bring it, bring it, come on." "What are you doing?" "Ow!" "Okay." "And the third act can only be found here in Chinatown." "There he is." "Be cool." "CHUCK:" "Hey, wait a minute." "I thought you were off this stuff." "Yeah, well, I'm sorry, Chuck, all right?" "Daddy needs his fix, you know?" "CHUCK:" "Dude." "You know how I feel about fireworks." "You know what?" "To defeat fear, one must embrace fear." "I'd rather embrace my limbs." "Specifically all of them." "No fireworks, no sale." "MORGAN:" "Aw!" "Can I say something?" "This evening gets an asterisk, okay?" "At least we still get our shrimp though." "Aw, no, no, you gotta be kidding me." "They can't be closed." "An evening of Morgan has to at least include sizzling shrimp." "Morgan, it's okay." "We'll do it another time." "No, no, I got this, I got this." "Lucky for us, I got connections." "CHUCK:" "Well, we gotta give him points for effort." "My friend, Juan, he's a dishwasher." "Leaves his key for me, so..." "CHUCK:" "Gotta make this quick." "Ellie's waiting." "[SIZZLING NEARBY]" "Ha, ha!" "Hear that sizzle?" "It's like the sound of angels' laughter." "Wait here." "[TALKING INDISTINCTLY]" "That waitress." "She's Mei-Ling Cho, Chinese intelligence." "Never set foot on U.S. soil before." "Sizzling shrimp anyone?" "My God." "Well, you can just call me Morgan, babe, but I appreciate the enthusiasm." "CASEY:" "Is this the woman you saw?" "Yeah." "Read through these." "Ah!" "Twice." "Let us know if you flash on anything." "Call the director." "We got a priority code orange." "Uh, guys?" "Is there any way this can wait until morning?" "I kind of have a priority code Ellie and Morgan." "They're waiting for us for dinner." "China's top spy is in Los Angeles." "We don't know why she's here or what she's planning to do." "You, my friend, may be the only one who can figure that out." "That's your priority." "Copy?" "Copy." "Hey, sis." "Morning." "ELLIE:" "Mm-hm." "Or not." "Could you pass the Berry Loops?" "Are you sure you don't want any sizzling shrimp?" "Right." "We have a whole lot of that left over." "Because I got back late last night." "Ha." "This is the point I'm trying to make." "And you're making it very well." "It's one thing to let shrimp go to waste it's another to stand me up, but to leave me with Morgan?" "And I feel terrible about that, believe me." "I do." "You know how much I adore sizzling shrimp." "And you." "More specifically you." "It just, Sarah wasn't feeling well, and..." "Oh, well, what is it?" "I'm a doctor." "I believe, uh, she had a spastic colon." "Yuck." "I know." "A girl that beautiful with a colon that spastic." "Well, you know what tomorrow is." "Absolutely, yes." "It's very own October version of Mother's Day and I wouldn't miss it." "I should hope not, but then again I never figured that you would pass on sizzling shrimp either." "Spastic colon, what the...?" "I went over the Department of Defense files on Mei-Ling this morning." "Sorry, no flashes." "Maybe you'll flash on something tonight." "Tonight?" "We're running a surveillance op on her." "We're gonna tail her, see if you flash on anyone." "Might tell us why she's here." "My first stakeout." "Okay." "Okay, yeah." "What do I need to bring?" "Sweater, light jacket?" "You just bring that computer in your head, huh?" "Okay, I have a lot more to offer this team other than the Intersect." "For instance, what are we doing for tunes tonight?" "I can make a stakeout mix." "John, need all the green shirts in my office on the double." "Mm." "Have fun." "That's really not fair." "Ah." "Sales are down, people." "There's too much horsing around." "And what this team needs is some good old-fashioned motivation." "I couldn't agree with you more, big man." "Twenty-four-hour sales competition." "Starting now." "First prize: iPhone." "Second prize:" "large pizza, two toppings." "Third prize" "Don't even say small pizza." "Because that's not a prize, that's a punishment." "When I eat a small pizza and not only am I still hungry, I'm angry." "You wouldn't want me hungry because then I get cranky." "Then I get a little mean." "Then I kind of get sleepy." "Third prize is you get to keep your job." "Oh." "Last prize: you're fired." "Doesn't sound like much of a prize either, am I right?" "Let me show you the deluxe model." "Okay, now, supposedly this baby makes delicious milkshakes." "You probably wanna hold off on the calories, huh?" "So let me show you the exercise equipment." "It's actually right over here, so..." "It's for the game?" "Buy the big screen, man." "Game's over, return it." "Break it." "Kick a freaking hole in the thing." "Money back guaranteed, dude." "We'll even pick it up for you." "This is crazy." "I know I'm the salesman, but how much you want for your shirt?" "I've been looking for something to go with my beard, and this thing is just" "You know what?" "Let me see the label?" "Could I ju--?" "Grimes, you are the worst salesman I've ever seen." "Vultures are circling." "Get it in gear." "We're in trouble, Chuck." "Harry Tang's plan to eliminate us has gone into effect." "Sales competition?" "Yeah, man." "Think you can carve out about an hour after work, help me?" "Tonight?" "Yeah." "I'm sorry, buddy, no can do, I already made plans with Sarah tonight." "Okay, all right." "Uh, tomorrow, me and you, a little Morgan time, huh?" "I've got Mother's Day with Ellie." "I can only miss that if there was a major national emergency." "So to speak." "Ahem." "Listen to me, Chuck." "Dude." "It's me, all right?" "Now I'm begging you here." "I'm on my knees, you know?" "Hat in hand, that sort of thing." "Help me, Chuck Bartowski." "You're my only hope." "Okay, okay." "I'm gonna go out with Sarah tonight." "I'm gonna wrap that up early to get back and help you and then I'll hang out with Ellie tomorrow." "Yeah." "Yeah, I think I can make that work." "I knew I could count on you, bro." "I hope so." "Hey, we got a bogey at 6 o'clock here." "Excuse me, someone send in an order for sizzling shrimp?" "A Mr. Carmichael?" "Yeah, yeah." "That's me." "That's me." "I'll take that." "Thank you very much." "You go ahead and keep the change." "Oh, thank you." "Have a good night." "What?" "It's for Morgan, I called it in." "The idea behind a stakeout is to remain inconspicuous, you moron." "Uh, hello?" "That's why I used an alias." "Hey, I think we have some company." "CHUCK:" "Who's that?" "Old Ironside is Ben Lo Pan." "He's the local big shot businessman." "Owns, Iike, half of Chinatown." "And there's Mei-Ling." "We're on." "CHUCK:" "She's gonna get ahead of us." "No, we're good." "Always leave a 30-yard cushion from your target on a tail." "She's following Ben Lo Pan's limo." "Oh, a tail on a tail." "Does that mean like a 60-yard cushion or would you say that regular tail rules apply in this situati--?" "Glocks and a crotch rocket." "My kind of gal." "Those aren't glocks." "They're Chinese army issue pistols." "She's not here on a spy mission." "She's here to assassinate the guy in the wheelchair." "You sure?" "Yeah, pretty sure." "Locked away in the brain here." "I mean, I'm not bragging." "Intersect's doing the heavy lifting." "We can't wait for cops." "By the time they get here, Mei-Ling or Ben Lo Pan may be dead, or both." "Mei-Ling could be a part of larger operation." "We need her alive." "Find out what she knows." "We catch her?" "Chinese spy has a lot we'd love to hear." "All right, Chuck." "Pull the car around front." "What, oh, around the front?" "Okay, then what do I do?" "Stay in the car." "My four favorite words." "Hello." "Chuck's not here, Morgan." "My four favorite words." "Get out." "Not favorites." "But at least we're dialoguing." "He's on a date with Sarah." "I'll tell him you stopped by." "I would appreciate that." "He's supposed to be helping me now." "If I don't become a better salesman by tomorrow night, I could get fired." "Although, I guess I could just crash here until I land on my feet." "As inspired as that makes me to help you I would rather just change the locks." "I'll let myself out." "Now my four favorite words." "[DOOR OPENS]" "I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you."

"I don't know!" "You work for him?" "What?" "No, no!" "Wait." "Hold on a second." "I was just trying to help an old guy in a wheelchair who puts people in trunks." "You idiot."

"What, are we carpooling now?" "Just heard back from Washington." "They confirmed Mei-Ling's story." "Her brother Lee Cho's a low-Ievel bureaucrat from Beijing." "He was kidnapped on a business trip to L.A. by local Triads." "SARAH:" "The Chinese received a ransom call asking for the release of a Triad captain in Beijing." "They refused." "Mei-Ling was here on her own." "Her government never signed off on a rescue op." "CHUCK:" "What's the connection?" "The feds suspected that he had Triad roots but they could never prove it." "Okay, so what do we do now?" "Nothing." "We stay out of it." "Hold on." "I watched that guy get stuffed in a trunk because I got it wrong." "We're not gonna start an incident over someone not even the Chi-Coms care about." "Let it go, Chuck, huh?" "Sarah, I screwed up, okay?" "It's my fault." "Her brother's gonna die." "It's my fault." "No, it's her fault." "She went off the grid and she disobeyed orders coming here." "But her superiors didn't even give her a choice." "Come on." "Sarah, I would have done the same thing if it was Ellie." "Minus the shooting-apart-the-club part." "I know how you feel." "It was hard for me too when I first started."

"I call his windbreaker." "Fine, but I get his name tag." "Fine." "Can I say something?" "You guys need me, okay?" "With me gone, someone else is gonna be the butt of all the jokes." "Let me tell you something, Jeff, you don't wanna carry that mantle." "Maybe you do wanna carry that mantle." "We'll take that mantle." "Yes."

"If you signal your friend, it's the last thing you'll ever do." "By the way, nice mustard stain." "Where are you?" "Not near the sorority girls." "Uh..." "What do you want?" "Triads put a clock on my brother's life." "He dies in nine hours if I don 't do something." "Okay, yeah, about that, about that." "Listen, I'm really, really sorry." "And if there's anything that I can do to make up for it..." "Help me rescue him." "I'm a dead man." "I'm last place in the sales competition." "You do not help me, I get fired."

"Yes." "People do that thing all the time." "The Hunt for Red October, uh, White Nights." "Gregory Hines, Baryshnikov, dancing their way to freedom?" "Well, as long as you've done serious research." "You get her to defect, I'll help rescue her brother personally." "Why are you bringing this up?" "Well, she sort of just called me." "She called you?" "Where?" "At the Buy More."

"You tried sizzling shrimp?" "Drop the gun, drop it." "Oh, oh!" "Oh!" "Let go." "Shoot me, I shoot him." "CHUCK:" "Hey, hey, I got an idea." "How about a new plan that involves less shooting?" "You agreed to help if she defected." "I would never." "Why?" "Loyalty to your government, that left your brother for dead?" "If I defect, I can never go back to China." "I will never see my brother again." "And if you don't, you'll lose him forever." "And you don't want that." "Guys, promise Mei-Ling you'll help rescue her brother if she defects, please." "Please?"

"I get that, and I know it's my fault that we even have to do it but, uh, I mean, it is our holiday." "So I think we could make up our own rules." "If I say yes, you'll be there?" "I promise." "You know, if there's anything going on with you." "Life, girl, job you can come to me." "[MOUTHS] Yep." "[HEART BEATING ]" "What's that?" "My letter of resignation." "You get another job?" "No." "Didn't think anyone else was stupid enough to hire you." "So, what's up?" "I'm last in the competition." "Yeah, I know it's a shock that I'm last, but here we are." "I now fall on my sword." "Head high, dignity intact." "It's the Shaolin way." "Hey, Morgan." "There's a whale online demanding to see you." "A fish is calling?" "No, you bearded buffoon." "A big spender." "She wants to see you at checkout." "Ellie?" "Hey." "I know what I'm getting Chuck and Devon for their birthdays." "So I figured I'd do some shopping early." "That'll be $ 733.42, ma'am." "Did anyone help you?" "He did." "I Iove you." "Uh, uh." "Big man." "Not quitting, no." "Good." "You're my only Hispanic on the sales team." "You quit, the affirmative action goons will be all over my ass." "Okay." "Well, listen, I sold over $ 700 worth of stereo equipment." "Puts me in second place." "Means somebody owes me a pizza with two toppings." "Pizza's for me, partner." "Do I get an iPhone?" "I don't even get a free iPhone." "You think I'd give you jerks one?" "No prizes?" "And no one's getting fired." "The competition was to get you bums to work harder." "Looks like it worked." "Yeah, but, I" "[CHUCK SIGHS]" "Look, I'm sorry, guys." "I know that you wanted me to go home." "But I just couldn't, you know?" "We just turned one of China's top spies." "And you helped save her brother." "So good work, Chuck." "Well, I" " I better be going." "I've got my own family reunion to attend." "Thank you, Chuck." "Oh, yeah, hey, don't mention it." "You're welcome." "Ha." "Uh, but before you go, would you mind, uh, signing this?" "What is it?" "Says I was off-site fixing your computer." "And that you were satisfied with the level of customer service I provided." "Hey, Chuck." "Morgan?" "Morgan, what are you d--?" "Buddy, I know that I haven't been around lately and" "Or really been the best of friend, but, uh, Ellie and I have this" "Mother's Day, man." "I know, I get it." "It's okay, it's okay." "I invited him." "CHUCK:" "Huh?" "Yeah, yeah." "Told you he's gonna come walking through that door." "He's such a good kid." "Let me get some glasses." "What, uh...?" "We bonded over an "I miss Chuck" moment." "Did you?" "Ha-ha-ha." "Ha-ha-ha." "Where's Awesome?" "He couldn't get off work." "[KNOCKING ON DOOR]" "But that must be Sarah." "What?" "You invited her too?" "Well, I mean, she's your new best gal." "How could I not?" "Ellie, you know you'll always be my best gal." "Don't take this the wrong way, Chuck, but I hope not." "Yeah, Morgan and now Sarah." "It used to be just the two of us." "Well, we're growing up." "Hey." "Ellie invited me." "She, uh, insisted that I come." "So, uh, Mother's Day..." "Yes, Mother's Day, that's right." "You don't really know." "Mother's Day is the anniversary of the day our mom left us." "Our dad was here, but he was never really here." "So now every year, we celebrate the day we learned how to take care of ourselves." "And rely on each other." "Mm." "Oh." "I think, um" "I think we're gonna need some more champagne." "I heard you came in second place, thanks to Ellie." "Chuck, I've been slow playing her for years, you know?" "And just sort of waiting in second position until she pretty much couldn't resist me anymore." "Is that right?" "Yeah, yeah." "I would like your blessing before I marry her." "Oh, well, you know, whatever Ellie wants..." "I know." "But are you ready to be my brother-in-Iaw?" "Have a few Morgan Bartowskis running around?" "Or Ellie Barettas." "I'd change my name to Baretta for her." "She deserves a last name that cool." "Like Ellie MacGyver, or Ellie Headroom, Ellie Rambo." "She's behind me right now, isn't she?" "Mm-hm." "Heard everything?" "Pretty much, yeah." "Okay." "I guess I'm going home." "[BOTH LAUGH]" "I can't believe it." "For 1 2 whole hours, my best friend and my sister actually got along." "A Mother's Day miracle." "Happy Mother's Day." "Subtitles by SDI Media Group" "[ENGLISH SDH]"
