Chuck vs. The Unexpected Surprise Part 9

[The episode begins with a recap of what previously happened as both Beckman, Sarah, Cassidy, and Sebastian arrive in Colorado. Cut to Chuck and Casey in a dark interrogations room as they are captured by Chuck’s new best friend Officer Travis Sanders who is the first to greet the dynamic duo as the black bags coverings their head are removed. The three chit chat a bit leading to another figure to make his presence known from within the darkness. They too do a bit of chit chatting to the point where he walks out of the darkness and standing in front of Casey and Chuck. When Chuck sees his face he immediately flashes leading him to flash and see several images including the name Tobias Carter on a letter of honorable discharge. Cut to Eagle Diner where Jeremiah Wexler stands in front of his old friend Marcus Stefano who is eating the Eagle Diner Steak Combo. They too do a bit of chit chatting about Cassidy, Sarah, what Marcus has been up to for the last 20 years, and his plans now, but when Jeremiah tries to delve more into what Marcus is planning another old friends arrives to Wexler’s surprise…General Edna Beckman. Switch from the Eagle to Colorado road where Sebastian tells Cassidy to cooperate, which she refuses to do leading Sebastian to call his driving behind him to kill Sarah at the count of 3. Cut back to the dark interrogation room where Tobias Carter, a former Special Forces Army Ranger, does a run down on Chuck and then Casey who in typical form makes matters difficult to where Tobias walks away into the darkness, but returns after Chuck reveals who he is by the flash he had. Switch back the Eagle Diner where Marcus reveals his plans of not only revenge to Wexler and Beckman, but also his plan to fulfill his destiny of taking over leadership of the Zeitgeist with the use of Project Eagle Eye. Marcus then gives them a choice to either be with him or against him. Switch back to the Colorado rock where Cassidy agrees to cooperate with Sebastian who tells his associate to not kill Sarah who is fighting the urge to kick the crap out of him for Cassidy’s sake. This leads to Cassidy to propose a deal leading Sebastian to be curiously interested. Cut to Chuck, Casey, Tobias, and Travis walking out of the interrogation room into a huge airport hanger where Tobias wants information in order for his own people to stop Marcus. Chuck and Casey refuse leading Chuck to stand face to face with the former member of the Army Ranger Special Forces. The scene begins with the façade of the airport hanger where Chuck is sitting in airport club car just off to the side of the slightly open hanger door and after a moment or two Travis walks out, sees Chuck, and then goes to sit beside him. After several seconds of awkward silence Travis speaks up]
Travis: [stares straight ahead] That was pretty intense in there dude.
Chuck: Yeah well…call me Mr. Intensity. [looks at Travis] What do you want? Did Tobias send you out here to bring me back in there for round 2?
Travis: No…I’m here as a friend and as your friend I got to say something to you.
Chuck: Let me ask you a question first.
Travis: Shoot
Chuck: Are you really a cop?
Travis: I was until Tobias recruited me to be on his team. Now can I say what I want to say?
Chuck: What is it?
Travis: [hits Chuck’s shoulder] You are the man!
Chuck: [gives Travis a weird look] Come again?
Travis: I have never seen anyone stand up to Tobias like you did? It was like the climatic final court room scene in the movie A Few Good Men where Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson went face to face. That was a classic piece of cinematic history.
Chuck: I’m glad you found it entertaining…I sure as hell didn’t.
Travis: Seriously though, I’ve worked with Tobias for over 7 years now and only one person has ever attempted what you just did…[points towards the inside of the hangar]…in there.
Chuck: Oh really and whatever happened to him?
Travis: He put him in the hospital after poking his finger on his chest. [shakes head] Very brutal.
Chuck: Let me guess…it was a bad guy who said…did the wrong thing right?
Travis: Actually, he was one our people and he made the mistake of getting drunk one night and decided to call out Tobias. That reminds me…[takes out his PDA]…I should send a get well fruit basket and a card to wish him a speedy recovery. [starts typing] Is there two l’s in patella or one?
Chuck: [eyes widen] Two…[looks straight forward exuding a freaked out look]..I’m pretty sure there is two.
[After a second or two of typing Travis puts his PDA in his pocket leading him to look at Chuck and speaks]
Travis: Chuck…can I ask you a question?
Chuck: If it’s about needing a pair of new shorts after what you just told me…yes.
Travis: No…not that. Are you really in love with the C.I.A Agent posing as your girlfriend?
Chuck: [smiles] With all my heart. She and I have been through so much together in the past year and a half that…
Travis: [interrupts Chuck by putting hand on his shoulder] She’ll be safe and sound in your arms again dude…trust me.
Chuck: I hope you’re right.
Travis: I am right. [Travis gets out of the club car and as he’s about to enter through the hanger door he turns back to talk to Chuck] Hey Chuck!
Chuck: Yeah?
Travis: We cool?
Chuck: We’re cool?
Travis: Cool enough to accept me as a friend on facebook?
Chuck: [smirks] I’ll think about it.
[Travis gives a smirk back leading him to head back into the airport hanger. Chuck takes out his iphone and begins to looking at picture of him with Sarah. He flashes back to the house that they were both looking at with Rusty, Isabel, and their realtor who is ready for whatever decision they make. Cut to the beach around 5pm where Chuck and Sarah are walking hand in hand with the sun slowly dropping into the sea. Sarah’s hair blows back in the wind and after a minute or two she stops leading Chuck to hold her from behind as they both take in the beautiful scenery of the Santa Monica water. Sarah closes her eyes and is in the moment leading her to then speaks up]
Sarah: Lisa
Chuck: What?
Sarah: My middle name is Lisa.
[Sarah turns to look at Chuck with her all-too-familiar look while still in Chuck’s arms. The scene ends with Chuck exuding his Chuckish smile as he looks deeply into Sarah’s eyes as the realization sets in she’s opening up to him]

[Fade Out]

[The scene begins with Chuck and Sarah holding each other on Santa Monica beach as they stand looking into each other’s eyes. Sarah revealed to Chuck her middle name is Lisa leading Chuck to give a stunned smile and after a few seconds of being speechless Sarah speaks up]
Sarah: Chuck…are you going to say something?
Chuck: [snaps out of it] Sorry…ummm…[chuckes a bit]…it sounds better than my middle name Irving. Honestly…do I look like an Irving to you?
[Sarah pushes Chuck back, turns around, and takes a few steps forward]
Sarah: Chuck…I need you to take this seriously.
[Chuck walks up, steps around Sarah, and puts both hands on her face]
Chuck: [smiles] I am taking this seriously. It’s just that it was completely out of the blue and I didn’t expect you to reveal something so personal about yourself.
Sarah: Do you remember the mission with Carina where we retrieved a gem from Peyman Alahi?
Chuck: The Wookie...yeah I do.
Sarah: The one thing I remember and still sticks with me to this day happened afterwards when you came to my hotel room with vegetarian pizza…
Chuck: [chimes in] Without olives. It was the one thing I knew that was real about you.
[Chuck and Sarah both sit down on the sandy beach leading Sarah to continue as the wind blows her hair back]
Sarah: [smiles] You started talking to me about how Bryce got all the great girls and then all of a sudden you looked up at me with those brown eyes wishing to know where I grew up…my name…then my middle name.
Chuck: I remember it well…you just sat there looking at me not saying a word. I didn’t push the issue any further so I got up to get napkins.
Sarah: You don’t know how hard it was for me to share with you what you wanted to know about me.
Chuck: [chuckish smile] I understand…you were protecting me for my own good.
Sarah: Maybe…but I did and it was distinctly low so you couldn’t hear me.
Chuck: I’m glad that I didn’t.
Sarah: Why is that?
Chuck: Any personal knowledge of you, other than the hatred of olives on your vegetarian pizza, would have changed everything between us. The question is…what made you reveal it now?
Sarah: I spent my life as a spy traveling around the world giving different cover names to my intended male targets and seducing them in order to get the job done. It was like playing a game of cat and mouse. I was good at it and in the process of hiding myself in the job I kept all my emotions buried deep down inside. By burying my emotions, it helped me stay alive as I didn’t hold back from taking out anyone who stood in my way. I didn’t care and when you don’t care nothing else really matters. Not being able to feel anything led to gradually lose my own identity…who I was…who I am. There were moments where I stood in front of a mirror and I didn’t recognize the person I was staring at.
[Chucks look and picks up Sarah’s right hand leading him to point to her ring]
Chuck: I remember you wore this ring the same day Casey became a new Buy More Employee.
Sarah: What about my ring?
Chuck: When I flashed on it, I saw surveillance video footage of a woman killing two men without remorse. When she was done…she set her sights on the camera itself. To be perfectly honest I freaked out and it wasn’t because of you killing those two guys.
Sarah: [curious tone] What was it then?
Chuck: It was the look in your eyes. They were cold and calculating…sort of like Hannibal Lecter.
Sarah: [gives Chuck a look] So you’re comparing me to a cannibalistic serial killer?
Chuck: No…[Sarah look back at the water]…you’re much better looking than him. [Sarah smiles] Waaayyyy better looking.
Sarah: So what are you saying?
Chuck: Over the past year and half the look in your eyes has changed. [Chuck turns and looks straight into Sarah’s eyes] I no longer see the coldness in your eyes anymore.
Sarah: What do you see?
Chuck: I see…[brushes hair back]…warmth and most of all love.
[Sarah smiles leading her to respond back]
Sarah: Do you know what I see when I look into your eyes?
Chuck: What might that be?
[Cut to a close up shot of Sarah face as she goes in for a kiss. The scene ends with a side view as the waves wash up near Chuck and Sarah’s feet]

[Fade Out]

[The scene begins back at the beach where Chuck and Sarah were kissing. Chuck is now lying down on the sand with his head on Sarah’s lap. She is looking at some parents playing with their kids on the beach and after a few moments her attention is broken by Chuck who asks her a question]
Chuck: [eyes closed] You never really answered my question on why you revealed your middle name to me now.
[Sarah looks down as she runs her fingers through his hair]
Sarah: I don’t know…maybe for the first time in my life I’m feeling comfortable in my own skin.
Chuck: [opens eyes and looks up] What do you mean?
Sarah: Growing up, I never felt like I belonged and I viewed myself as an outsider in my own family.
Chuck: Every kid feels that way at some point or another rebelling against their parents.
Sarah: I was doing much more than rebelling. [Upon hearing that Chuck sits up listening intently as Sarah opens up more] I was sort of a military brat and I was always expected to act a certain way so not to embarrass my family. Acting the way they wanted me to be was the easy part, trying not to embarrass them was hard.
Chuck: What did you do?
Sarah: Not drugs…I wasn’t into that. No…I got into a lot of fights in school and according to the school psychologist I was dealing with displaced anger issues by starting fights where there were none.
Chuck: What were you angry about?
Sarah: It was a mixture of issues dealing with my dad and older sister. When it wasn’t with my dad, it was with my sister and when it wasn’t with my sister it was with my dad. Sometimes it would be both of them at once and I couldn’t handle it, especially when it came to my sister.
Chuck: Were you too close?
Sarah: When we were younger yeah, but when we got older she started taking after my dad. She took it upon herself to look after me and get me out trouble that I got myself into. As much I loved her for getting me out of those situations, I resented the fact that she saw me as her kid sister who always needed to be looked after. It drove me nuts.
Chuck: What about your mom?
Sarah: I considered her my saving grace that helped me keep my sanity in check. She basically understood that I wasn’t meant to follow in my dad’s footsteps like my sister did.
Chuck: Does your sister work along side your dad?
Sarah: Yeah…like father, like daughter.
Chuck: Have you spoken to either of them?
Sarah: No…and I don’t think I would ever want to. I feel more at home with your family than I ever did with mine.
Chuck: Ouch…that’s pretty to harsh say all things considering.
Sarah: I’m just saying with your family I feel like I belong. Ellie was the first person who welcomed me in and considered me a sister over time; Devon has told me countless times I’m awesome for you; and Abe practically thinks of me as his daughter to be.
Chuck: He told me once second chances are hard to come by and when you do get one seize it…cherish it…and never let it slip through your fingers.
Sarah: Your dad is a wise man and I hope you’re not letting your second chance slip through your fingers.
Chuck: [smiles as he looks at Chuck] I’m not…trust me.
Sarah: You know your father talked me through a tough time when Jill came back.
Chuck: What did he say to you?
Sarah: It’s not so much what he said, it was the look of loving concern for someone who was facing a difficult situation. It’s a look that I wanted to get just once from my own dad, but what I ended up getting were looks of disappointment, especially when he heard I left college to travel around the world or so he thought. The reason I left college was to join the C.I.A. and it was my chance to prove to not only myself that I wasn’t a disappointment, but to somehow prove it to my dad even though he wouldn’t know about it. Does that sound crazy to you?
Chuck: Not at all.
Sarah: I hope to one day show my dad that I’m utilizing my greatest potential and putting it good use. Right now I don’t think that is ever going to happen because of the long standing rift between us.
Chuck: I’m sorry.
Sarah: You know Chuck…Abe is more of a dad to me than my own and I would love nothing more than to have him be proud of me like he is with you and Elli.
Chuck: He is…and so am I.
[Sarah smiles leading both of them to watch as the sun starts to set. The scene ends with the dark silhouette of Chuck and Sarah in the foreground and the setting sun in the background]

[Fade Out]

[The scene begins with Chuck and Sarah walking on the shoreline of the beach holding each other’s hand all-the-while holding their shoes in the other. As they are walking Chuck speaks up]
Chuck: When was the last time you talked to your sister?
Sarah: 6 months ago.
Chuck: How did it go?
Sarah: We ended up arguing over the phone like usual. She’s pretty much hard headed, stubborn, and incapable of listening to anything I say.
Chuck: [low tone] Sounds like you at times.
Sarah: What?
Chuck: Nothing…there’s got to be something redeeming about your sister that you like. She’s after all your blood.
Sarah: Well…she did have this uncanny ability to talk her way out of or into certain situations. It was the one thing that I admired about her. [clinches her fists] Don’t get me wrong I love my sister to death, but she can truly get on your nerves to the point where you just want to strangle her.
Chuck: All right…calm down…breathe…and repeat after me…serenity now!
Sarah: [laughs] Does that ever work?
Chuck: It didn’t for the gang in a harlious Seinfeld episode, but it might for you.
Sarah: [smiles] You’re such a dork.
Chuck: And proud of it. Listen…we all go through battles…with life…with family...with friends.
Sarah: Yeah…but when it comes to my life in the C.I.A. compared to my family life it has practically been a battle to survive.
Chuck: From what I can see, you survived and turned out okay.
Sarah: Barely
Chuck: You survived nonetheless.
Sarah: Face it Chuck…I’m one screwed up woman.
Chuck: Need I remind you my dad left my mom when Ellie and I were young leading her to die heartbroken. He returns years later bringing with him my step brother and I end up not only finding out my dad’s a spy working for an agency called Section 8, but I find my step brother is actually the man who placed a burn notice on him. I would also like to add Bryce Larkin is the cause for the intersect in my head, which led me to catch a virus that nearly killed me. [Sarah just looks on and listens] Anyways, it was because of him I spent the last 5 years being resentful for stealing my ex-girlfriend Jill and getting me kicked out of Stanford because I supposedly cheated…none of which were true. Bryce got me kicked out to save me from being put into the Omaha Project and we end up resolving the whole thing between us. Jill, on the other hand, had Bryce lie about stealing her away from me because…get this…she was pregnant with my son Charlie and didn’t want to be the one standing in my way of becoming successful. Here’s the twist in this whole situation…Charlie wasn’t my son at all as I found out through DNA testing that it was Allan Watterman’s, but I let her think its my son because she’s been through enough as it is. For the better part of 5 years, I have lived with my sister and her now husband whose whole vocabulary consists of one word... awesome. I have a best friend who not only is in a dysfunctional relationship with a woman who can easily kick his ass, but is also threatened by the fact I spend more time with you than I do with him causing him to try unconsciously sabotage my relationship with you. I work with a cavalcade of idiots at the Buy More, excluding Casey who coincidently had orders to kill me once the new beta version of the intersect was up, which was on New Years Day. Don’t get me started when I found out that I was engaged to be married when I was 12 to Marcelina and came close to marrying her. BUT do you know what makes me truly screwed up?
Sarah: I’m afraid to ask.
Chuck: [looks ahead] Well, I’ll tell you. [turns to look at Sarah and smiles] I’m screwed up because of you.
Sarah: Me…why me?
Chuck: The minute you walk into my life at Buy More, my world turned upside down and you know what…I thank you for that. Sarah Lisa Walker…I’ve fallen deeply and madly in love with you. [touches the gold locket around Sarah’s neck] My heart is yours, for all time.
[Chuck gives off his Chuckish smile causing Sarah to blush. The scene ends with Chuck kissing Sarah on her forehead leading both of them to walk out of camera view as the shot shows the sun disappearing down into the ocean]

[Fade Out]

[The scene begins back in the present with Chuck sitting in the airport club car. He puts his iphone back in his pocket and when he does that Casey walks out from the open hanger door. He sees Chuck, walks up to him, and begins to speak]
Casey: You simply amaze me Bartowski.
Chuck: [looks at Casey] Oh do I now…how so?
Casey: Its amazing to me that a guy who runs and hides in the face of danger decides to stand up to a man without fear who can easily kill you with his pinky.
Chuck: When you have a reason to face that danger dead in the eyes it doesn’t matter.
Casey: Agent Walker.
Chuck: Yeah
Casey: Look Bartowski…I’ve got to say something to you…
Chuck: [stands up to interrupt Casey] What! I’m out of mind...I’m not thinking straight…I’m letting my emotions cloud my better judgment and by doing that I already killed them? Is that what you were going to say Casey?
Casey: Pretty much…but mostly I wanted to say…I’m proud of you.
Chuck: You’re proud of me…for what.
Casey: Not backing down the slightest bit to Tobias when he clearly did all he could to intimidate you.
Chuck: I was a little scared when he took out his combat knife and put it under my neck.
Casey: A little scared?
Chuck: Okay…I damn near crapped my pants.
Casey: I got to hand it to you Bartowski…you did good in my book.
Chuck: Thanks Casey. So what do we do now? Call in the cavalry?
[As Chuck says that the voice of Tobias is heard behind them leading both of them to turn around to him and Travis]
Tobias: Excuse me gentlemen…we’re leaving and if you two are coming with us I suggest you hop on board the plane now.
[Tobias gives Casey and Chuck a look leading him to go back inside along with Travis who gives the dynamic duo a thumbs up. Chuck and Casey walk towards the toward and as they are about to enter Chuck stops Casey leading him to speak up]
Chuck: Can we trust him?
Casey: Right now…are only option is to trust him. Let’s go.
[Chuck nods leading both him and Casey to head through the hangar doors. After a moment or two the hanger doors completely open with the Fairchild C-123 engines raring to go. The scene ends with Fairchild C-123 moving forward and then immediately cut inside to Chuck sitting next to Casey and Travis with his game face on]

[Fade To Black]

Chuck vs. The Unexpected Surprise Part 8

[The episode begins with a recap of what previously happened as Chuck forges a new friendship with Officer Travis Sanders who stopped by Ellie’s apartment in order to interview her more about the incident at her hotel. Moments later Chuck receives a phone from Casey concerning the disappearance of Sarah and Cassidy leading Chuck to think of a reasonable excuse to have Travis leave so that Chuck can meet up with Casey. Cut to the clear blue sky where a UH 60 Blackhawk Helicopter is in the air and inside Cassidy initiates a conversation with Sarah. It is Sarah who tells her big sister that she not only hates being under her shadow growing up, but she also hates her. Cut to a conversation between Chuck and Morgan in which Chuck informs his bosom buddy for cover sake that he’s going to Colorado to meet Sarah’s parents leading Morgan to feel like he’s already lost his best friend. When Chuck leaves to meet up with Casey at the Barton Heliport, Officer Travis Sanders steps out into camera view and calls someone. The scene inevitably switches to the Buy More break room where Abe flashes back to when Marcus killed his partner and left him to die, but doesn’t leading to take his partner’s dog tag. After the flashback is over, he takes out the dry blood stained dog tag that hangs around his neck, looks at it, clinches tight in his hand, and closes his eyes. Cut to the Barton Heliport where Chuck and Casey are halfway to the helicopter when all of a sudden 3 black cars block their way leading to not only several armed men surrounding the two, but the appearance of Officer Travis Sanders with these men causing Chuck to have a look of absolute disbelief. The scene begins at around 4:15 p.m. where General Beckman’s private plane touches down at Eagle County airport and when she departs the plane she’s dressed in civilian clothes. Cut to her getting into a rental car and as she drives off, a man walks into camera view on his cell phone leading him to speak up]
Man: This is Rodriquez…she’s here.
[At the same time that happens it cuts to a shot of an abandoned airport with a close up of an old sign saying Breckingridge STOLport where 2 black S.U.V’s await them. The UH 60 Black Hawk helicopter lands and all 5 occupants get out. Cassidy is led at gun point to the first S.U.V that Sebastian is in while Sarah is led to the second S.U.V. by the same guy who was leering at her. The two S.U.V drive off leading the scene to switch from the airport to what looks like a dark interrogation room with an overhead light brightening the middle of the room where Chuck and Casey sitting behind a table with black bags covering their heads tied to a chair. After a moment or two Chuck speaks up]
Chuck: [turns head back and forth] Casey are you here? I can’t see a thing.
Casey: Yeah Bartowski…I’m here and neither can I.
Chuck: Are you all right?
Casey: I’m fine, but you’re new best friend won’t be once I get my hands on him.
Chuck: [hangs head] I can’t believe it…you meet a guy and find out that he is also a true gamer at heart and turns out he's a bad guy. Man…you think you know a guy. I’m definitely not accepting him as a friend on facebook I know that for sure.
Casey: [turns head to face Chuck] Slam him in your diary later…we have to figure a way out of this.
[Chuck nods his head leading both he and Casey to struggle in order to try to escape from their bonds. After several seconds of this, a sound of a door opens and footsteps are heard leading Chuck and Casey to immediately stop in order to pinpoint where those footsteps are going. Cut to a seemingly long pause as the camera focuses on a close up of the covered heads of Chuck and Casey. Suddenly, the bags are removed causing Chuck and Casey to squint because of the light shining above them. After taking time to focus they see Travis standing before them leading Casey to speak up]
Casey: [looks at Travis] Look who it is…Colonel Sanders.
Travis: [gives Casey a weird look] What?
Chuck: Don’t mind him…he’s hungry and has a KFC chicken on the brain. Talk to me Travis…wait…is Travis actually your real name?
[Casey shakes head while looking Chuck and then looks at Travis]
Chuck: What Columbo here is trying to say is who are you working for?
[As he says that a voice is heard in the darkness behind them]
Voice: The real question is gentlemen…who are you working for?
Casey: [looking around with a smirk] I asked first.
Chuck: [looks at Casey] Casey…now is not the time to get into a verbal tennis match with someone who clearly has us at a disadvantage.
[The man in the dark starts walking behind them and then around the room. As he does Travis speaks up]
Travis: [puts Casey’s gun on the table] We searched both of them and he…[points to Casey]…was the only one possessing a weapon.
Voice: Government issued M1911 Pistol with attached laser scope…impressive. I favor the M9 9MM pistol…you can fire it either in single or double action mode.
Casey: You know your hardware.
Voice: I make it my business to know.
Chuck: [nervous tone] So…ummm…what type of business are you in? Importing…exporting…killing?
Voice: It depends.
Casey: Depends on what?
Voice: It depends…[walks out into the light holding files and stands in front of Chuck and Casey]…on whether or not on how cooperative you two are.
[When Chuck sees him his eyes start to flutter leading him to immediately flash to where he begins to see an image of a rubix cube, a video clip of Military Special Forces, a file that reads Contra Wars, a letter of honorable discharge with the name Tobias Carter, several photos of him in the background with distinguished people in suits, and finally the image of the rubix cube again. When he snaps out of it he has that freaked out look on his face leading him to quickly look at Casey, who recognizes what just happened. Cue Chuck Intro]

[Fade Out]

[The scene begins with the façade of Eagle Diner and the arrival of Jeremiah Wexler pulling into the parking lot. Cut to the inside of the diner where Wexler walks in and is greeted by one of the young waitresses]
Waitress: [smiles] Hey Mr. Wexler…order in or take out?
Wexler: [nods at Sam] How’s it going Sam…sorry not today. Listen…I’m supposed to meet an old friend and I was wondering if he’s here.
Sam: As a matter of fact, a gentleman came in 30 minutes ago and said he was a friend of yours.
Wexler: [looks around] Where is he?
Sam: [motions to her left] He’s sitting at the corner booth.
Wexler: Thanks Sam and say hello to your folks for me.
Sam: You’re welcome and I will.
[Wexler has a serious look on his face as he slowly walks over to the corner table where Marcus Stefano sits facing him busy eating a meal and drinking coffee. He arrives at his table standing a few feet away leading Marcus to speak up]
Marcus: [doesn’t look at Wexler] The food here is not what I expected. [cutting his steak] Have you tried the Eagle Diner Steak Combo…it’s quite remarkable.
Wexler: I have and it’s actually my favorite meal to order.
Marcus: [looks at Wexler as he drinks his coffee] It’s good to see you old friend…I see the past 20 years have treated you well. [motions to the seat in front of him] Please…sit…do you want some hot coffee to warm yourself up from this cold Colorado air?
Wexler: [removes his coat and sits down] No thanks and I wish I could same the same. Where is Cassidy?
Marcus: In due time brother…[takes a sip of coffee]…let's catch up. How is your wife Emily?
Wexler: Fine…leave her out of this. You have my daughter you don’t need her mixed in this.
Marcus: Does she know?
Wexler: [serious look] I don’t want her upset…she’s been through enough worrying about one daughter, she doesn’t need to worry about another.
Marcus: How is your other daughter if I may ask…what was her name?
Wexler: DeAnna…from what my wife tells me she’s doing fine as well.
Marcus: From the tone of your voice, you seem uncertain about that.
Wexler: If you must know…we…we aren’t on the best of speaking terms. [starts thinking of Sarah] We have a difficult relationship and that difficulty has led to a strain in our family. I’ve invested so much on both my business and family that I didn’t want to lose what I worked hard for, but I did when it came to DeAnna. Emily thinks it’s just a phase she’s going through and in time she’ll come back home from who knows where so we can talk things out and repair the rift between us, but to be perfectly honest I think the relationship may be beyond repair.
Marcus: There will always exist a struggle between parent and child. The thing to keep in mind is that you must never give up on your kids, which is something you may have already done it seems.
Wexler: [shakes head] It’s not so much giving up on DeAnna…it’s more like realizing that I’ve poorly invested my time on someone who never wanted to reach their greatest potential.
Marcus: Every parent wants what’s best for their children in order for them to succeed.
Wexler: Is that why you never married…so that you could avoid the hassles of parenthood?
Marcus: I came close to asking someone to marrying me, but there were certain unmitigated circumstances that forced me to step back and re-evaluate my priorities.
Wexler: What happened?
Marcus: Let’s just say, it was an issue of trust that came between us. Speaking of trust, why did you turn your back on me?
Wexler: I never turned my back on you. I pretty much saved your ass from them putting you six feet under. Talk to me Marcus…where have you been? What have you been doing for the past 20 years anyway?
Marcus: I’ve been here and there.
Wexler: Can you be more specific?
Marcus: I’ve had a lot of time to think, regroup, acquire financial assets they never found if they tried, and re-establish contacts that backed off when I was exiled, which wasn’t easy.
Wexler: What are you planning?
Marcus: Something very lucrative that involves Project Eagle Eye, but first…
Wexler: But first what? Tell me…
Marcus: [interrupts Wexler] Ah…I see our other guest has arrived.
Wexler: What other guest?
[As he turns to see who it is his eyes widen as he sees Beckman standing there leading her to speak up]
Beckman: [looks at Wexler] Jeremiah?
Wexler: [looks at Beckman} Edna?
Marcus: [looks at Beckman and Wexler with a smile] The band is back together.
[Beckman and Wexler immediately look at Marcus who has this big grin on his face. The scene ends with Marcus going back to eating his steak combo and drinking coffee with Beckman and Wexler looking on]


[Fade Out]

[The scene begins with an ariel shot of the Colorado Road where 2 S.U.Vs are rolling down the road. Cut to the first S.U.V. where Sebastian is riding shot gun, Cassidy is sitting behind the driver, the henchmen holding her at bay is across from her behind Sebastian, and behind him are two other henchmen. Sebastian is on the tail end of a conversation and after moment or two he hangs up leading Cassidy to speak up]
Cassidy: Where are we going?
Sebastian: [looks straight ahead] We’re taking a little field trip to where daddy works at.
Cassidy: Wexler Industries...why would you possibly want to go there?
Sebastian: Cassidy…Cassidy…Cassidy…let’s stop playing the dumb blonde routine because you know exactly why we’re going there.
Cassidy: I have no idea what you’re talking about.
Sebastian: [takes out cell phone] Fine…I’ll just call my associate whose behind us and order him to kill your friend. [Cassidy doesn’t flinch] You have a choice to make…help me help you my dear.
Cassidy: You’re bluffing.
Sebastian: Okay then
[Sebastian takes out his cell phone and calls his associate driving behind him. Cut to the other S.U.V where the henchmen’s cell phone rings leading him to answer it causing Sarah to focus her attention is on the conversation]
Man: Yes sir.
Sebastian: At the count of 3…shoot the young lady.
[Cut to Cassidy who has this look of concern as Sebastian continues to look straight ahead. The scene switches from the S.U.V. back to Chuck and Casey where they’re currently being held captive by Chuck’s former new best friend Travis and are being interrogated by someone by the name of Tobias Carter after Chuck flashed when he saw his face. Casey speaks up]
Casey: Why should we cooperate with you?
Tobias: Unless you want you’re two lady friends alive…I suggest you do.
Casey: So you’re responsible for the abduction of not only a daughter of a high profile military weapon’s industry mogul, but also a civilian as well.
Tobias: Negative…we’re not responsible for any abduction. My former associate has gone rogue and has taken aforementioned Cassidy Wexler and your lady friend.
Chuck: Who is he?
Tobias: No…I’m asking the questions here. [Tobias looks through the 2 files leading] Major John Casey…United States Air Force...N.S.A…you’re list of credentials are impressive Major.
Casey: [smirks] I’m an overachiever.
Tobias: Charles Bartowski…Buy More employee for the last 5 years with Major Casey here. You live with your sister Dr. Eleanor Bartowski and her now husband Dr. Devon Howard who are currently on their honeymoon in Hawaii. Huh...it says here you were expelled from Stanford for cheating.
Chuck: [speaks up] I did not cheat.
Casey: Shut up Chuck.
Tobias: [continues reading] Involved in a relationship with a beautiful young lady named Sarah Walker who works at the Weinerlicious. The civilian abducted along with Cassidy Wexler.
Travis: [looks at Sarah’s picture and speaks up] Niiiice.
[All three look at Travis who shuts up leading Tobias to speak]
Tobias: [looks at file] Tell me Mr. Bartowski…[looks at Chuck]…why is a C.I.A agent posing as your girlfriend and what is her association with Cassidy Wexler?
[Chuck is at a loss for words leading Casey to speak up]
Casey: I give you credit…you did your homework on us. Now tell us does any of this involve your former associate Marcus Stefano.
Tobias: I never told you my former associate’s name.
Casey: [smirks] I’m a mind reader. You should see me at parties…it wows the crowd.
Tobias: You’re trying my patience Major…either cooperate or be responsible for hundreds…thousands…maybe millions of people lives on your hands.
Casey: When you put it that way…no.
Chuck: Casey what are you doing?
Casey: [looks at Chuck] Negotiating.
Chuck: What!? You’re going to get us all killed. [A look of frustration comes over Tobias’ face leading him to look at Travis signaling him to lave. They both turn to leave leading Chuck to speak up] Wait! I have something to say.
Tobias: [walks into the darkness] I’m not listening.
Chuck: You’re Tobias Carter…former Army Ranger, Special Forces Unit. [Tobias immediately stops] You were involved in a US-backed “contra” counter-insurgency in Nicaragua against the left-wing government from 1965-1969, but it was major washout as it cost many people their lives including several of your comrades as well. 1 year later you were honorably discharged and several months later you went to work for an organization calling themselves the Zeitgeist.
[Tobias slowly walks back out from the cloak of darkness with Travis following close behind leading Casey to speak up]
Casey: [smirks] You’re not the only one who does his homework.
[Tobias looks at Travis who is completely dumbfounded look on his face at what Chuck said. The scene ends with Tobias staring a hole right through Chuck who is has this considerably freaked out look on his face as realizes what he just did]

[Fade out]

[The scene begins back to the 20 year reunion at the Eagle Diner where Marcus has brought his two old friends Beckman and Wexler together again. Marcus is sitting on one side as Beckman and Wexler sit together on the other side facing Marcus who continues to have a smile on his face. Beckman speaks up]
Beckman: Why have you brought us here Marcus?
Marcus: Isn’t it obvious?
Wexler: Don’t tell me you still believe you have this supposed destiny that you’re supposed to fulfill.
Marcus: Yes…but it’s just not my destiny to fulfill any longer as it is ours to fulfill.
Beckman: What are you talking about?
Wexler: He’s talking about finishing what he started 20 years ago.
Marcus: No brother…it’s more than just bringing The Zeitgeist to the forefront. It’s about seizing the power that is rightfully ours. It’s about eliminating obstacles standing in our way.
Beckman: What obstacles?
Wexler: You got to be kidding me. So that’s what you’ve been planning for the last 20 years.
Beckman: [looks at Wexler] What it is…what’s he planning?
Wexler: Revenge.
Beckman: On who?
Marcus: The people responsible for exiling me and I thought it best to repay them with a proper thank you.
Wexler: The Committee…though the faces may have changed they are considered the obstacles standing in your way.
Marcus: Our way…you see it’s our destiny to take over leadership from those fools who are clinging to past ideologies. They are standing in our way and we will usher in a new way of thinking…new blood…and with that a whole new era for the Zeitgeist.
Beckman: Think this through Marcus…you’re going to reach a point of no return that might possibly lead to your death.
Marcus: I’ve already passed the point of no return once I made the decision to involve Cassidy and David as incentives for my cause, which is truly unfortunate.
[A look of intensity is shown in Wexler’s eyes leading him to lean a bit closer to Marcus]
Marcus: Unfortunate? You consider my daughter and her son as incentives…they’re human beings Marcus…not pawns in some sick, twisted game of chess.
Marcus: Then if you consider this a game of chess…then the important pieces have already been decisively placed and all I need is one piece to proclaim checkmate and you…[looks at Wexler]…posses that piece. [looks at Beckman and Wexler] Now…you’re either with me or against me…make the choice.
[Beckman and Wexler sit back in absolute disbelief at what Marcus has planned. The scene switches from Eagle Diner to the S.U.V.’s rolling down the road. Cut to the S.U.V where Sarah is in where the henchmen cinches back on the gun and points it directly at Sarah face leading the scene to move back to the van holding Cassidy who has been told by Sebastian that if she doesn’t cooperate her sister will be shot in 3 seconds by the henchmen he’s talking to on his cell phone on the other end of the line. Sebastian begins the countdown]
Sebastian: 1…
[cut to close up of Cassidy’s showing a poker face]
Sebastian: 2…
[cut back to Cassidy’s face starting to falter and when Sebastian is about to reach 3 she speaks up immediately]
Cassidy: Stop!
Sebastian: [on cell phone] Hold on a minute. [Cut to the other S.U.V. where the henchman redirects the gun away leading Sarah to breath out a sigh of relief. Switch back to the other S.U.V Cassidy talks with Sebastian]
Cassidy: All right…I’ll cooperate with you.
Sebastian: [turns to look at Cassidy] Excellent…I knew you would see it my way.
Cassidy: You know they’re not just going to let you in through the gate. You need security clearance to get past 2 high trained guards.
Sebastian: We don’t need security clearance…we only need you as a simple distraction to get us through the front door.
Cassidy: After that what then?
Sebastian: You will see soon enough.
[A smile comes over Sebastian’s face as he resumes talking with the henchmen he told to hold on from shooting Sarah in the face. Cut back to the S.U.V Sarah is in with the henchman getting off the phone leading him to speak to Sarah]
Man: [smiles] Good news…you live. [looks Sarah up and down] Sad really…it would have been such a waste to kill someone as beautiful as you. Now we have all the time in the world to get to know each other.
[A look of disgust comes over Sarah’s face leading to not only clinch her right fist as she looks out the window to avoid seeing his face. Cut back to the lead S.U.V where after a brief moment of silence Cassidy speaks up]
Cassidy: Are you in this for the money?
Sebastian: We’re in this to make a far greater impact on the world. Our intentions are to make a statement.
Cassidy: You seem like a smart business man…how about I make you a deal.
Sebastian: [curious tone] What kind of deal?
Cassidy: [whispers in his ear] A deal in which I personally guarantee you’ll make an impact that will most definitely be heard.
Sebastian: [turns to look at Cassidy] I’m listening.
[As Sebastian and Cassidy talk the camera view cuts to the façade of the S.U.V as it rolls down the road followed closely behind by the other S.U.V. The scene ends with camera pulling away from the two S.U.V’s as it goes to a wide ariel shot of the snow filled Colorado mountains]

[Fade Out]

[The scene begins back in the location where Chuck and Casey were being interrogated at by Tobias Carter. The dynamic duo follow Tobias Carter and Travis out the room to find themselves in huge airport hanger with not only a Fairchild C-123 Provider several yards away, but several men arming themselves to the t. All 4 men are in a ready made conference area where maps are tacked on boards, pictures spread out on a table, and important intelligence type stuff are gathered. After a few moments, Tobias speaks up]
Tobias: So Mr. Bartowski…as far as I know, we have never met and yet it seems a man who works at Buy More for 11 dollars an hour knows all about me. How is that?
Casey: [speaks up] Chuck here is an analyst and with his exceptional abilities in being able to retain loads of information he was recruited to work for the government.
Travis: Whoa…you’re like Keanu Reeves in the movie Johnny Mnemonic.
[Casey and Tobias look at Travis leading Casey to speak up]
Casey: Oh great…a new member of Chuck Bartowski geek squad.
[Travis gives Casey a weird look]
Chuck: [smirks] You could say that...instead of uploading information into an implant in my head I just remember important things through my keen sense of memory.
Tobias: [looks at Chuck] Fascinating…you’re an exceptional young man. The organization I work for could use a guy like you in our ranks.
Casey: Speaking of the organization you work for...how is Marcus Stefano involved in all this?
Tobias: Marcus Stefano was a former member of a secret organization that Mr. Bartowski referred to earlier as Zeitgeist.
Casey: Got it…that we know. Can you just give the cliff notes version?
Tobias: 20 years ago he nearly brokered a deal with several high profile organizations that are considered to be a threat to our long standing anonymity, which has lasted for 100 years. I was there personally when he was taken into custody after a deal was made by two of his associates to spare his life rather than to see him be killed. He would later be stripped any financial assets and then excommunicated from the organization. Until recently he hasn’t made any noise and now he’s up to something, but we don’t know what.
Chuck: Out of curiosity…who were the two associates that made the deal?
[Tobias turns to rifle through several photos on the table leading him to turn around handing two of them to Chuck who immediately looks at Casey as they both see the faces of Jeremiah Wexler and General Beckman. Tobias speaks up]
Tobias: In any case, we need to gather as much information from you two so that we can find and stop him ourselves once and for all.
Casey: Hold on…we’re not just going to stand by, tell you what we know, and then let you have all the fun.
Tobias: Negative…this is an internal matter and we do not need outsiders involved in our business.
Chuck: [speaks up] Guess what…we’re already involved in your business the minute he took someone I love and her sister. Plus, he killed one government and nearly killed another one, which I take very personally. We’re not the bad guys here…we’re both basically doing this for the same reason. So, unless you know the exact whereabouts of where this Stefano guy is taking Cassidy and Sarah…
Tobias: And you do!?
Chuck: I sure as hell do! [Chuck steps up to Tobias looking at him face to face] Now...I suggest...demand…we come with you and work together on this.
Tobias: Or what?
Chuck: There is no or what. It’s your call.
[Casey is thoroughly impressed as he looks at an assertive Chuck who is demanding to join forces while Travis ready to see Chuck get knocked out. The scene ends with a close up shot of Chuck’s face with a look of intensity as he stares down a former Special Forces Army Ranger with Casey and Travis looking on]

[Fade To Black]

Chuck vs. The Unexpected Surprise Part 7

[The episode begins with a recap of what previously happened as Beckman flashes back 20 years ago as she relives in her mind the day her former/friend associate Marcus Stefano standing at his tribunal hearing in front of The Committee due to his actions that nearly destroyed the anonymity of the Zeitgeist. Heated words were exchanged on both side leading to Marcus being expelled, but before being taken away Marcus speaks with Beckman separately and thenWexler joins the in the conversation a bit later. During the conversation with Beckman in which he felt betrayed he reveals that he proposed to Beckman leading her to change the subject. Cut to Marcus 20 years later as he flashback to the betrayal in question where he not only proposes an idea to both Beckman and Wexler about bringing the Zeitgeist organization to new ear, but also proposes the idea of marriage to Beckman again when they are both alone. Consequently, both proposals are postponed as he’s taken away by armed men. Move forward to the present once again to a conference room where Jeremiah Wexler is talking to his people concerning Project Eagle Eye and after being left alone in the room he gets a call from none other than his old friend/”brother” Marcus Stefano. Marcus tells him that he has return from exile in order to fulfill his destiny leading to a heated exchange to the point where he reveals to Wexler he has an incentive for him if he doesn’t hand over Project Eagle Eye…Cassidy. Cut to Casa Bartowski where Officer Sanders stops for the expressed purpose of getting more information from Cassidy concerning the incident at her hotel room in which chuck was involved in. Chuck informs him that she isn’t here, but asks him if he wants to wait inside leading to them moments later about to play Call of Duty: World at War with the final split screen shot being Beckman and Sarah heading towards Breckinridge, Colorado. The scene begins on a Thursday afternoon at 3:45 pm with the façade of Casa Bartowski to where it cut to the inside of Ellie’s apartment in the living room where Chuck and Officer Sanders are heavily engrossed playing Call of Duty: World At War. After a second or two Officer Sanders speaks up]
Officer Sanders: This game is awesome!
Chuck: Yeah…they practically outdid themselves this time with a more mature style for our gaming pleasure.
Officer Sanders: You’re telling me…I totally didn’t expect the scene in the level “Makin Raid” where it shows an allied prisoner of war being tortured by the Japanese before having his throat slit by a katana. That was just…wow.
Chuck: According to several gamer websites, the developers spent two years in order to make the game more visually realistic.
Officer Sanders: Your right…[points at screen]…you can actually see the bullets cut holes not only in the trees, but also through the characters as well. Plus, with the added element of flammable environments in the game you can get in touch with your inner pyromaniac and use the flamethrower weapon to basically burn down everything around you.
Chuck: [Beavis voice] Fire…fire…he..he..he…fire…fire.
Officer Sanders: [laughs] Mr. Bartowski…
Chuck: [interrupts Officer Sanders] Call me Chuck…my friends all do.
Officer Sanders: Cool…my names is Travis. We should keep in contact especially after finding out that you got the hook up on getting the new updates on Call of Duty games.
Chuck: Do you want my email address?
Officer Sanders: Better yet…do you have a MySpace or Facebook page? I can add you on my friends list.
Chuck: I have Facebook…I deleted my MySpace page about a month ago.
Travis: All right…I’ll find you on there and add you as a friend. [looks at watch] Listen…Chuck…when is Ms. Wexler going to arrive?
[As Travis says that Chuck’s phone rings leading him to speak up]
Chuck: That could be her right now? I’ll be right back.
Travis: I’ll be here torching most of Eastern Europe.
[Chuck heads to his room to answer his phone and when he does its Casey on the other end. A back and forth conversation begins]
Casey: Bartowski…I need you to meet me at the Barton Heliport now.
Chuck: I can’t.
Casey: Why not?
Chuck: Travis is here and we’re waiting for Sarah and Cassidy to get back so he can get more information from Cassidy on what happened at her hotel room.
Casey: Who is Travis?
Chuck: Oh…my bad…Officer Sanders.
Casey: Well, tell Colonel Sanders he is going to have a long wait?
Chuck: It’s Officer Sanders and why do you say that?
Casey: The situation has just gone from bad to worse.
[Chuck’s eyes widen with that bit of news. The scene ends with Casey turning around as he has gives a serious look on his face as he stands in front of a black S.U.V holding Sarah’s purse in his hand. Cue Chuck intro]

[Fade Out]

[The scene begins in Chuck’s room and after a moment or two he walks into camera view in the middle of a back and forth conversation with Casey who informs him of a grave situation involving the apparent capture of Cassidy and Sarah. Chucks speaks up as he paces back and forth]
Chuck: Are you sure its Sarah’s purse?
Casey: Who else would carry a government issued M1911 pistol in her purse?
Chuck: Sydney Bristow from the show Alias.
Casey: Quit with the stupid tv references Bartowski…we have a serious situation here.
Chuck: I know…just trying to lighten the mood. So what’s the plan?
Casey: You drive down here to the Barton Heliport so we can go save Walker and her sister.
Chuck: Have you contacted General Beckman?
Casey: I haven’t been able to reach her…according to her secretary she’s left on some personal business.
Chuck: Could it have anything do with Project Eagle Eye.
Casey: Only one way to fine out…so get your butt down here.
Chuck: What…what do I say to Travis?
Casey: I don’t know Bartowski…tell him…tell him…it can’t work out between the two of you because you have a girlfriend. Do something to get rid of him and get down here.
Chuck: Funny…after a year a half of working together that’s the only response you could come up with? You’re slipping Casey.
Casey: I missed lunch…hurry up because time is something we don’t have much of.
[Casey hangs up leading it to cut to Chuck who has a worried/freaked out look as he tries figure out how he’s going to get Travis out so he can meet up with Casey. The scene switches from Chuck’s room to the UH 60 Black Hawk helicopter heading towards an intended destination. Cassidy and Sarah are sitting inside being held captive by a man named Sebastian and two nefarious thugs who are not only pointing their guns at both of them, but one of them is leering at Sarah causing her to ball up her fist for a punch. After a moment or two Cassidy speaks to Sarah so that only she can hear inevitably breaking that urge]
Cassidy: Why do you hate me?
Sarah: [quickly looks at Cassidy] What? I don’t hate you.
Cassidy: It sure seems like it to me. The minute I walked into that hot dog place you worked at I saw a mix of surprised embarrassment on your face. It’s as if showing up out of the blue has gotten you totally unraveled.
Sarah: I don’t think this is the perfect time talk right now Cass. As you may have noticed we’re being held at gunpoint heading to who knows where.
Cassidy: No…I think this is the perfect time to hash out some issues that you may be harboring because to be perfectly honest we’re stuck here for a while and have no place to go. So what’s bothering you?
Sarah: [clutches her gold locket] Nothing is bothering me.
Cassidy: I know something is bothering because you get that look on your face when you’re getting annoyed. It’s that same look you give Chuck when he tends to say something stupid.
Sarah: You really want to know what’s bothering me.
Cassidy: Yeah I do.
Sarah: I’m tired of living in your shadow and I feel like no matter how far I try to go to get away I’m always standing under it.
Cassidy: I don’t understand?
Sarah: Oh come on Cass…it should be obvious.
Cassidy: What?
Sarah: Overshadowed by your accomplishments, being constantly told why I should be more like you, and here’s the one I thoroughly enjoyed hearing…I’m not utilizing to my advantage the potential I have to be someone other than who I am now. Do you know how sick and tired I was hearing that over and over again?
Cassidy: It was a way to motivate you D.
Sarah: It didn’t motivate me at all…as a matter of fact it became the reason that I left college to pursue what I thought could help leave the past behind.
Cassidy: Did it?
Sarah: [looks down] Yeah…but…[looks up and at Cassidy] when you showed up 3 days ago all those unresolved feelings started to come back. The anger…resentment…frustration…bitterness…you know what…yeah I hate you.
[A hurtful look comes over Cassidy’s face as she hears that her sister hates her. The scene ends with a shot of Sarah giving a very serious look at Cassidy all-the-while continuing to clutch her gold locket]

[Fade Out]

[The scene begins back at Casa Bartowski and cut to the living room in Ellie’s apartment where Officer Travis Sanders is thoroughly engrossed in playing the Call of Duty game. A few moments later Chuck walks into the living leading Travis to speak up]
Travis: So what’s the 411 Chuck?
Chuck: Do you want the good news or the bad news?
Travis: Oh man…okay…give me the good news.
Chuck: Well…the good news is you got a taste of the new Call of Duty game that doesn’t come out till November.
Travis: I thank you for that…the bad news?
Chuck: Cassidy isn’t going to be able to do the interview.
Travis: Why?
Chuck: Apparently, she’s getting her hair done and you know how long that can take. [looks at watch] It could be hours before she arrives.
Travis: Trust me…[holding up wedding ring]…I’ve been married for quite some time and I know the feeling very well my friend. You married?
Chuck: Girlfriend…been together for a year and a half.
Travis: [stands up] Congrats…[scratching head]…I guess I should get back on duty to protect and serve the city of Los Angeles.
Chuck: Sorry dude…you came all this way for nothing.
Travis: I wouldn’t exactly say that…I not only met a new friend and fellow gamer, but I got to be the first person to play the new Call of Duty game. If my friends ever knew…it would blow their minds.
Chuck: Yeah, I know my best friend Morgan would go ballistic if he knew I had this in my possession. He would not only tell everyone after playing it, but he would also download certain game scenes on YouTube.
Travis: Seriously?
Chuck: Oh you have no idea.
[Chuck walks Travis to the door]
Travis: [laughs] Thanks Chuck and I’ll definitely add you to my friend’s list on facebook.
Chuck: I’ll accept it.
[They both shake hands leading Travis to head out. After a brief view of the Los Angeles skyline Chuck walks out of Ellie’s apartment in order to meet Casey at Barton Heliport. He’s in the courtyard with a bag when he receives a phone call leading him to answer it. Thus a back and forth conversation begins]
Chuck: What’s up Morgan?
Morgan: [sitting behind the info desk] Nothing much…hey listen…I called you because I think we should have a boy’s night out. Just you and me…we haven’t had one in a long time ever since Sarah came into the picture.
Chuck: I know man…hey…didn’t we already have a boy’s night out in Vegas?
Morgan: That doesn’t count?
Chuck: And why not?
Morgan: We were separated for most of the night especially when you and Casey were trapped in the elevator with Isabel who was going into labor. I, on the other hand, was helping a freaked out father to be do deep breathing exercises. I just feel we need to reconnect…how about a Bruce Lee movie marathon at your house.
Chuck: Morgan…that would be great.
Morgan: [smiles] All right…we just have to tell our ladies…
Chuck: [interrupts Morgan] But not tonight Morg…I’m going to Colorado.
Morgan: Sweet…road trip! I’ll pack my bags and we’ll both head out tomorrow. Oh before I forget…remind me to tell you to give me a day off.
Chuck: Morg…you’re not going with me to Colorado.
Morgan: Going solo I see…what are you going to do…ski…snowboard?
Chuck: Actually…I’m driving up there to meet Sarah’s parents…she’s gone ahead to see them before I do.
Morgan: Pretty big step in the relationship man…I hope you’re making the right decision.
Chuck: What does that supposed to mean?
Morgan: Nothing…I’ll talk to you later.
[Morgan has a look on his face as if it read that he’s losing his best friend when he hangs up after talking with Chuck. Cut to Chuck who just shakes his head and after checking the items in his bag one last time he then heads out. The scene ends with Officer Travis Sanders stepping out into view with a serious look on his face as he gets on his cell phone to call someone]

[Fade Out]

[The scene begins at Buy More and cut to the break room where Abe is just relaxing for a bit eating a bag of chips. After a moment or two he looks to be in deep thought and flashes back on the day that he was nearly killed by Marcus Stefano in Zurich, Switzerland. The flashback begins in Abe’s hotel room as he’s tied to a chair severely beaten up and lying on the floor next to him dead on the floor is his partner. Marcus walks into camera view leading him to stand in front of Abe, kneels down, and then speaks to him]
Marcus: [waves his finger at Abe] You came close to ruining a very lucrative deal. Who are you and what is your name?
Abe: [spits out blood] Don’t you recognize me…I’m the famous Swedish tennis player Bjorn Borg.
[Marcus nods to one of his men and then walks away. Marcus’ henchman proceeds to beat the crap out of him. After a few seconds, Marcus stops him leading him to speak to Abe again]
Marcus: Again…what is your name?
Abe: [spits out blood again] All right…I’m not Bjorn Borg.
Marcus: [looks at him intensely] Who are you then?
Abe: [smirks] I’m Ingvar Kamprad and I am the founder of IKEA. Would you be interested in any furniture? I can give you a good deal on a living room set.
[Marcus nods again leading to the same man stepping up to beat the holy crap out of him. After a few seconds Marcus tells him to stop in order to talk to him]
Marcus: You are wearing my patience thin…tell me who you work for. C.I.A? F.B.I.? N.S.A.? Interpol?
Abe: [grimaces in pain] Does it matter…you killed my partner and I’m making it my mission to take you down by any means necessary.
Marcus: [laughs] Really…well as you can clearly see you’re not in any position to do that now are you? I have the advantage and as far as you trying to take me down…it’s going to be me who is going to take you down…permanently.
Abe: What are you going to do…shoot me?
Marcus: That’s too easy…I want you to suffer before you die.
Abe: What…you’re going to tell me your life story?
Marcus: Do you think you’re funny?
Abe: I think so...why don’t you ask my partner, he can tell you I’m hilarious…[looks down beside him]…oh wait…you killed him.
Marcus: Joking till the bitter end…how sad.
[Marcus has his back to him as he fiddles with something. After a moment or two he turns around not only holding some sort of small cylindrical contraption, but also holds a handkerchief in front of his face] I’ve got a joke for you...[sprays him]…how many men does it take to kill a man with a lethal dose of Hydrogen Cyanide will take 10 minutes to take effect. 1…[bends down to look him straight in the eyes]…whose laughing now? [After a few seconds he turns his back again leading him to speak up] Untie him.
[His henchmen untie him leading Marcus to turn around and as he does Abe lunges towards Marcus but falls on his stomach just a few inches away from him due to the affects of the Hydrogen Cyanide. Abe slowly turns over to see a hazy image of Marcus looking down at him smirking, looking up to motion his men to leave, and then walks away closing the door behind. After several minutes he rolls on his side, crawls to his fallen comrade, and removes his dog tag from around his neck leading him to force himself. Abe stumbles out the door in order to find Sodium Thiosulfate to counteract the poison, which just so happens to be located down in the lobby. The flashback ends with Abe sitting at the table loosening his tie and unbuttoning the top buttons of his shirt revealing his partner’s dog tag around his neck. The scene ends with Abe looking at intently at the dry blood stained tag in his hand, then clinches them tight, and then closes his eyes]

[Fade Out]

[The scene begins back in the break room with Abe buttoning his shirt back up and straightening his tie. After taking in a deep breathe, he stands up, heads towards the door, and just as he’s about to reach for the door knob, the door swings open leading Jeff and Lester to run in. They close the door behind him and look through the blinds]
Abe: What’s up boys…can I help you?
Lester: [looks at Abe] Hey Mr. B…nope…we’re good.
Jeff: We’re hiding from Morgan again…he’s trying to give us more work to do because of the stupid bet we made with him.
Abe: A little hard work wouldn’t kill you boys.
Jeff: [looks at Abe] Yes it would…working hard ages people.
Lester: We don’t want to turn into old, grey haired men because of working hard.
Abe: Boys…I’ve worked hard for the last 40 years…are you calling me an old, grey haired man?
Lester: No…[Abe smiles]…you don’t have any grey hair that we can see.
[Abe smile turns more into a glaring look at Jeff and Lester]
Jeff: [leans in towards Lester] Maybe he uses just for men to color in the grey.
Abe: [laughs and puts hands on both their shoulders] And you wonder why Chuck never considers you two for employee of the month. [Abe walks out the door with a bewildered Jeff and Lester left in the break room. As he walks into the main room he runs into Morgan who seems out of sorts] Are you all right son?
Morgan: I’m fine…just heard some devastating news that I didn’t want to hear.
Abe: Do you want to sit down and talk about it.
Morgan: I appreciate it…maybe later. Listen...have you seen Jeff and Lester by chance?
Abe: They’re in the break room…when you find them do me a favor.
Morgan: What’s that?
Abe: Work them hard till they break.
Morgan: [Ivan Drago voice] I will break them.
[Morgan walks towards the break room leading the camera to cut back to Abe who has a sly smirk on his face. The scene switches from Buy More to the Barton Heliport about 30 minutes later where Chuck drives up to not only the black S.U.V where Casey is, buy also to another helicopter nearby. Chuck gets out, looks around, and walks to Casey who is holding Sarah’s purse leading him to speak]
Chuck: You know Casey…that purse doesn’t really go with your outfit.
Casey: How about I outfit this purse up your ass?
Chuck: Later…we have two ladies to save.
Chuck: Whose going to pilot that thing?
Casey: Me
Chuck: Let’s do it. You ready?
[Casey locks, loads, and checks the laser sight on his gun]
Casey: [smirks] I always am.
[Chuck and Casey head towards the helicopter, but in the background there are 3 black cars driving up. They are halfway there when they are immediately cut off by the three cars inevitably blocking their way to the helicopter. Chuck and Casey look at each other then at the three cars. After a moment several heavily armed men get out and surround the dynamic duo leading Casey to speak]
Casey: What the hell is going on? Who are you?
Voice: We would like to ask you the very same thing.
Chuck: [turns around] Travis?
[Chuck’s new best friend Officer Travis Sanders has appeared with several armed men who are pointing guns at Chuck and Casey. A look of disbelief comes over Chuck’s face as the scene ends with a serious look on Travis’s face]

[Fade To Black]

Chuck vs.The Unexpected Surprise Part 6

[The episode begins with a recap of what previously happened as the man known as Sebastian and several of his men have Cassidy and Sarah in their clutches. Cut to General Beckman’s office where she receives a phone call from an old friend from her past leading the scene to switch to a conversation between Chuck and his father Abe. Chuck tells Abe about his flash concerning a group known as the Zeitgeist to where Abe informs him that he had a close personal encounter with one of their members who nearly killed him…Marcus Stefano. Cut back to an intensive conversation between Marcus and Beckman where he basically gives her an ultimatum to either give the whereabouts of Project Eagle Eye or her son, as well as, his fiancé are eliminated. He informs her to take a trip to Breckinridge, Colorado to a small diner aptly named Eagle Diner. Cut to a heliport where Cassidy and Sarah are being led by gunpoint into a helicopter by Sebastian and his men heading towards Breckinridge, Colorado. The scene begins 20 years ago in semi-darkness and then all of a sudden a man walks up in front of several people sitting behind a long table. The man’s face is not shown and just behind him, afar off in semi-darkness stands a man and a woman. After a few seconds a man behind the table speaks up]
Man: Marcus Stefano…your recent actions nearly brought this organization into the light jeopardizing everything we worked hard for. As you know, we are in the business of being in the shadows guiding history for the betterment of mankind for over 100 years. What do you have to say for yourself?
Marcus: My actions weren’t meant to jeopardize this organization by any means whatsoever. In fact, my intentions were to bring it to whole new level. It’s a level, where we can use our influence and vast financial assets to our advantage.
[cut to the man and woman listening intently as they watch a seemingly stoic Marcus explaining himself to the Zeitgeist figureheads]
Man: [shaking head] By coming close to merging deals with a high profile foreign organizations without our knowledge. What were you thinking?
Marcus: What was I thinking? I’ll tell you. I was thinking that this organization has been standing in the shadows for too long holding on to lofty ideals for over a century.
Man: Those lofty ideals as you call it are what has kept this organization strong and continues to be strong as ever. [Marcus laughs leading the man to give a serious/curious look] What seems to be so funny?
Marcus: [laughs] Those ideals are weak and should be changed for an organization that is better suited more towards world dominance.
Man: You’ve gone mad.
Marcus: [points finger at man] NO! I assure you I haven’t gone mad. My eyes have just been opened to seizing the opportunity to bring the Zeitgeist into a whole new era.
Man: What era would that be?
Marcus: The era in which we rightly take our place amongst the powers that be establishing us as part of all supreme powerful entity that can’t be touched.
Man: I’ve heard enough…it’s the best interest of this tribunal that because of your actions you’re expelled as member of this organization. You’re financial assets will be frozen and any documents you have are to be turned over immediately. Plus, any access cards you may have in your possession. Before you leave, do you have any last words?
Marcus: Yes…for all that I have done for this organization…you’re just going to erase me from existence.
Man: You brought this on your self.
Marcus: [shouts and points at everybody] I disagree…YOU brought this on yourselves.
Man: I suggest you lower your tone or suffer the consequences.
[As the man says that the woman steps out from the shadows speaks out wearing her military uniform]
Woman: Sir…if I may speak on behalf of Marcus.
Man: [reluctantly nods] General Edna Beckman…as one of the two people responsible for bringing this matter to our attention what do you have to say?
Beckman: [looks at Marcus and then at man] Jeremiah Wexler and I know that Marcus is a good man, but somewhere along the line he lost his way. Don’t judge him on the basis of his recent actions, but rather on his action from his past as a loyal member and trusted friend to the Zeitgeist.
[As Beckman says that a man, Jeremiah Wexler, steps out of the shadows wearing a black suit, sporting a mustache, dark hair, and brown eyes]
Wexler: If I may add to that sir…he is no longer a threat to this organization or to anyone else for that matter. Please…just let him leave with the only thing he has left…his dignity.
Man: [looks at Wexler and Beckman then at Marcus] Mr. Stefano…be glad your friends have your best interest at heart. [looks at two big guys behind him] Gentlemen…escort this man off the premises.
[The two big guys lead Marcus out but not before giving Beckman and Wexler one last look. He disappears into the darkness as it cuts back to a close up shot of Beckman’s face as she watching on. The scene switches from the close up shot of Beckman 20 years ago to sitting in a private jet looking out the window as it ends with her having a conflicted/serious look on her face due to the flashback. Cue Chuck intro]

[Fade Out]

[The scene begins back in the private jet where Beckman continues to flashback at what happened 15 years ago with her former Zeitgeist associate Marcus Stefano. Cut to halls of the building where Marcus is being led out by the two big guys into a brightly lit hallway and after a second or two Wexler and Beckman walk out. Beckman then runs up to stop the two big guys so she could talk to Marcus. When he turns around he has dark hair, hazel eyes, sporting a goatee, wearing a 3 piece suit, with Gucci shoes. After receiving a limited amount of time Marcus begins the conversation with Beckman]
Marcus: What do you want?
Beckman: Listen…what Jeremiah and I did was for your own good. Just be lucky that you came out of alive before they took it upon themselves to expel you on a more permanent basis.
Marcus: [looks at Wexler and then at Beckman] For my own good…as I recall weren’t the two of you supposedly on board with what I envisioned the future of Zeitgeist to be.
Beckman: It was disillusioned future and to perfectly honest you’re ideals became too much too handle. So much so, it hindered on being absolutely dangerous so we both took it upon ourselves to stop it before it got totally out of hand.
Marcus: Uh huh or was it the fact that I asked you to marry me? You never really gave me an answer.
Beckman: Don’t change the subject. This is a grave situation you put not only yourself in, but the entire organization in. You became greedy and put the needs of yourself over the organization.
Marcus: Why can’t you, Jeremiah, and the others understand that what I intended to do was for the greater good?
Beckman: What greater good? To expose us and have everything we worked hard for be destroyed by your own ideals of what the Zeitgeist should be.
Marcus: [puts hand in the air] No…[curls hand into a fist]…to show that we’re not just an organization who simply stays in the shadows guiding history, but instead to be part of history by taking control of it.
[As he is saying that Wexler walks up leading him to speak]
Wexler: You actually believe what you’re saying?
Marcus: Yes I do. It’s part of our destiny and if it wasn’t for you two we would be fulfilling what we were meant to become.
Wexler: We were meant to always be in the background and stay unnoticed…only to guide aspects of world history in order for the best possible future for mankind. This organization wasn’t built on the ideals of taking control with an iron fist and rule on the basis of fear and intimidation. Somewhere along the line you lost sight of what we stand for.
Marcus: [points at Wexler and Beckman] It’s what you two and the rest of those fools stand for…I no longer stand for those particular ideals.
Wexler: So that’s it…just like that…you’re going to turn your back on everything including the friendship we three established?
Marcus: You and Edna turned your back on me once you decided to turn me in for a cause that you know is the right thing do for this organization. As the friendship between the three us…consider it permanently severed as of now.
Beckman: Don’t say that…trust me when I say that somewhere down the road you’ll thank us for doing what we did.
Marcus: [low laugh] Trust…you know after all these years…I thought I could trust you…[pauses to look at Beckman with disappointment and then at Wexler]…not only as associates, but as friends as will in helping bring forth something that is bigger and far greater than all of us could ever have imagined…but…I guess the only person I can trust is me.
[As he says that one of the big guys walks up to take him away leaving Wexler and Beckman watching him go. After all three turn a corner a conversation begins between Wexler and Beckman]
Wexler: Are you oaky?
Beckman: I’m fine…it’s just that I didn’t want it to come down this way.
Wexler: [puts hand on Beckman’s shoulder] I know the two of you were close…but it had to be done and if we didn’t act quickly the tribunal would have given a harsher sentence than just expelling from the group.
Beckman: I know…I’m worried that he may not be able to get past what has been done to him.
Wexler: Don’t worry about Marcus…he’ll get over it and bounce back like he always does. [looks at watch] Listen, I got to fly back to Colorado for business…call me if you want to talk.
[Wexler and Beckman both hug leading Wexler to walk away, but not before turning around to give a wave. The scene switches from the hallway back to the private jet where you Beckman again looking out the window again. Cut to inside the plane where she takes out a small dark blue box from her bag and when she opens it there sits a wedding ring. The scene ends with a close up of the wedding ring and then to Beckman who stares at for a second or two. She then closes it, holds it against her heart, rests her head back on the seat, and then looks out the window once again]

[Fade Out]

[The scene begins with a wide shot of snow capped mountains of Breckinridge, Colorado with people skiing, snowboarding, and riding the ski lifts. Cut to the façade of a local ski lodge and to a man walking into a room straight towards the balcony where he stands in front of a man who has his back to him. When he turns around, it’s Marcus Stefano wearing glasses and basically all black except for the grey hair that now sits atop his head]
Man: Everything is set for her arrival Mr. Stefano.
Marcus: Excellent Colter…have you heard from Conway?
Colter: Yes sir…according to Conway General Beckman left in a private jet and is on her way. ETA is around 4pm. Rodriquez is at the airport as we speak and once she lands he’s going to contact us.
Marcus: Good…thank you Colter.
Colter: What do you want us to about Wexler sir?
Marcus: Don’t worry about it…I’ll handle him personally.
[Colter walks away leaving Marcus standing on the balcony. He turns around to take in the scenery and after a second or two he begins to flashback 20 years ago on the moment before he was taken down by Beckman and Wexler, which was located in his spacious home after dinner. All three walk into his living room with a huge fire place leading Wexler to speak up as Beckman and Wexler sit down]
Wexler: [smoking a cigar] Kudos to the chef my friend.
Beckman: Yes…the lobster was excellent and so was the salmon.
[Marcus stands in front of the fireplace, take out a cigar, light it, takes a few puffs, and then sits down to look at Beckman and Wexler]
Marcus: I’m glad you enjoyed it. So…have you thought over what we discussed?
[Beckman and Wexler look at each other leading Wexler to speak up]
Wexler: Yes…though the prospects of gaining power beyond belief is appealing I can’t help but think about the possible ramifications of what may happen if this does happen.
Marcus: Jeremiah...you focus too much on the negative rather than positive. Think about how we all can benefit from this both financially and personally to where Zeitgeist can ultimately rise to the forefront. To take our rightful place in the annals of history as the superior leaders we know we are.
Beckman: As tempting as that sound…you’re not at all worried you’re overstepping your boundaries with The Committee?
Marcus: The Committee will commend me for what I intend to do because for so long we’ve had to endure hearing the same old rhetoric and to be perfect honest it begins to grow old. Aren’t you two tired of always being expected to conform to their ways and their way of life?
Wexler: You have to understand and see it from their point of view as they’re just simply looking out for our best interests for the future.
Marcus: Can’t you two see we ARE the future of this organization and I’m just taking the initiative to leave the past behind so we can focus on a future where we not only play by our own set of rules, but write a new set of ideals. With this potential deal in the works, it may come to fruition.
[As he says that Wexler receives a phone leading him to look at his phone and then speaks up]
Wexler: It’s my wife…I’m going to take it in the other room.
[Wexler heads to the other room leaving Beckman and Marcus by themselves. After a few moments of silence Marcus talks to Beckman]
Marcus: [looks at Beckman] Have you thought over the other situation we discussed?
Beckman: I have and I still need time to think about it.
Marcus: What is there to think about…[walks over and sits next to Beckman holding her hand]…we love each other and I would be a great father to young David. [takes out dark blue box and opens to reveal a wedding ring] What do you say?
Beckman: Again…all I’m asking is a bit more time.
Marcus: [smiles] Okay
[He closes the box and goes in for a kiss but is interrupted by Wexler walking back in leading Beckman to back up]
Wexler: My wife was having a bit of a problem with the girls…[looks at Beckman and Marcus]…what’s going on?
[After a seemingly long awkward pause Marcus’ front door is busted wide open as several armed men rush and take down Marcus who drops the ring box on the floor. After a moment or two a man in a dark suit walks and stands over Marcus leading Beckman speak up]
Wexler: Tobias…we had a deal. We give you him and in return you promise not to harm him.
Tobias: That deal still stands. [looks at Marcus on the ground and then looks at one of the arm men] Take him.
[They stand Marcus up, but before they take him away he looks at Beckman with disbelief/betrayel leading her to speak up]
Beckman: I’m sorry.
[Tobias and the armed men lead Marcus away. Cut to Wexler following not too behind and stopping just a few feet away from the S.U.V that he’s going to be put into. The scene ends with Marcus looking at Beckman walking up right beside Wexler as he’s put in the black S.U.V leading the flashback to end to where you see a close up of a serious/vengeful look on Marcus’ face]

[Fade Out]

[The scene begins in a conference room where you there is a group of people standing in a huddled mass in what seems to be the tail end of a meeting. As the camera pans to the left there stands Jeremiah Wexler no longer with a mustache and showing signs of grey hair. After a moment or two he speaks up]
Wexler: How for along are we on the Eagle Eye satellite?
Woman: We’re right on schedule and it’s nearly 100% complete.
Wexler: What’s the problem?
Man: There have been some minor problems with several metallic brackets, but it’s nothing to be overly concerned about.
Wexler: When it concerns an important project for the military minor problems are considered to be major ones…always keep that in mind.
Woman: Yes sir.
Wexler: Wexler Industries is THE top high tech military weapons manufacturer and will continue to stay that way. I have made it my livelihood to be the best and I expect nothing else from you people…do I make myself clear?
Everybody in room: Yes sir!
Wexler: All right…get back to work and contact me once the satellite is fully complete.
[As they leave Wexler’s cell phone rings leading him to answer it]
Wexler: Hello?
Marcus: How does it feel being one of two people solely responsible for ruining a man’s life simply because he wanted to fulfill his destiny?
[Wexler pauses for a few seconds and then walks over to a window that overlooks the nearly complete Eagle Eye Satellite. Wexler and Marcus begin to have a back and forth split screen/single screen conversation]
Wexler: To be quite honest Marcus…it didn’t feel to good turning in someone who I thought of as a brother, but it had to be done.
Marcus: Ah…after 20 years I still see you were able to remember my name…brother.
Wexler: What is your agenda Marcus?
Marcus: What…no how are you…what have you been up to Marcus?
Wexler: I think I’ll just skip the pleasantries and move on to why you are calling me now after 20 years?
Marcus: Straight to business I see…very well. Are you familiar with local eatery called Eagle Diner?
Wexler: Yes…I’m familiar with it…why?
Marcus: Meet me there exactly at 4:30pm to discuss handing over the top secret hush hush Project Eagle Eye satellite you’re very own company is building for the military.
Wexler: Project Eagle Eye…I have no idea what you’re talking about.
Marcus: Jeremiah…brother…stupidity is not your strong suit. I suggest you give me what I want or like I told Edna…
Wexler: [angered tone] Leave her out of this…what we did to you 20 years ago was of my own doing.
Marcus: So it was you that convinced her to turn her back on me. Nevertheless, it doesn’t change of what I have planned.
Wexler: If you harm Edna in any way…I swear…
Marcus: [interrupts Wexler] Lower your tone...I haven’t harmed her…I’m not a violent man by any means.
Wexler: Edna told me about Zurich, Switzerland 30 years ago and how you killed two government agents.
[A momentary pauses is heard on the phone on Wexler’s end. After a few seconds Marcus speaks up]
Marcus: Did she also tell she helped me cover the incident…it was something she did quite frequently.
Wexler: What is the point?
Marcus: My point is…let’s stop this sibling quarrel we’re having and cooperate with each other.
Wexler: What makes you think I will cooperate with you?
Marcus: I gave Edna an incentive like I’m giving you?
Wexler: What…money…power?
Marcus: Do you know where your daughter Cassidy is?
Wexler: You son of a bitch.
Marcus: Don’t talk to or alert anyone…remember 4:30 pm…Eagle Diner…don’t be late.
[Marcus hangs up leading him to have a sly smirk on his face. Cut immediately to a shot of Wexler who has a very serious/angered look on his face. The scene ends with Wexler holding his phone tightly, looking down at the satellite, and then walks off camera view]

[Fade Out]

[The scene begins with the façade of the Casa Bartowski and cut to the courtyard where Chuck walks into camera view holding a bag seemingly lost in thought. He is about to head inside Ellie’s apartment when her hears a voice behind that causes him to freak out a bit]
Officer Sanders: Mr. Bartowski…I’m sorry if I startled you…do you remember me?
Chuck: Yes…Officer Sanders and no apologize necessary. I wanted to experience what it was like to have a heart attack at such an early age. [composes himself] Can I help you?
Officer Sanders: I’m here to get further information from Cassidy Wexler concerning the incident at her hotel room in which you too were involved in. Is she here so that I may speak with her?
Chuck: She’s not here at the moment.
Officer Sanders: What time do you expect her to arrive?
Chuck: [looks at watch] She’ll be back soon…you can come inside and wait for her if you like?
[They both walk in leading Officer Sanders to stand in the living room and Chuck to head towards the fridge]
Officer Sanders: You have a nice place.
Chuck: Actually it isn’t mine…it’s my sister’s and her boyfriend…or should I say now husband. They got married recently and I’m just house sitting for them until they get back. My girlfriend and I bought a place in Santa Monica so once they get back we move in. [offers him a drink] Beer?
Office Sanders: Congratulations and thank you, but I’m on duty at the moment.
Chuck: Okay…two for me then. [motions for him to sit] Please…have a seat.
Officer Sanders: I can’t stay long…[his attention is interrupted by something he sees]…is that the new version Call of Duty game…World At War?
Chuck: Yup…I get it sent to me to test it out. What you’re a Call of Duty fan?
Officer Sanders: You can say that…every once and a while I play in tournaments with a group of my friends. Open it up and see it how it looks.
Chuck: I don’t know.
Officer Sanders: [serious look] If you don’t I’ll have no choice but to arrest you.
Chuck: Seriously?
[serious look turns into a smile]
Officer Sanders: Nah…I’m just kidding, but come on I just want to check out the graphics. From what I heard the visual effects are supposed to be out of this world.
Chuck: Since you put it that way…I’ll go get my Xbox from my room and bring it out here. Hey, it’s going to kill some time waiting for Cassidy to get back.
[Office Sanders gives him a reassuring point as if to say you da man leading Chuck to disappear from sight. The scene ends at it switches to both a UH 60 Black Hawk helicopter and private jet where you see a split shot of Sarah and General Beckman giving a far off look as they head towards Breckinridge, Colorado]

[Fade To Black]

Chuck vs. The Unexpected Surprise Part 5

[The episode begins with a recap of what previously happened as Chuck and Cassidy are being attended to by a medic after being attacked by an unknown assailant. Sarah, Casey, and Abe arrive moments later to check up on them leading a police officer to question Cassidy about what possible motive the suspect to tear apart her hotel room. As she is talking Sarah observes her sister and after being taken to the hospital along with Chuck by the medic to be safe Sarah knows Cassidy is lying. Cut to Casey talking with General Beckman who not only finds out about what the relationship between her and Sarah’s father, but also finds about a secret project called Eagle Eye. Beckman reveals to Casey the intentions of project Eagle Eye to the point where she orders him and Sarah to protect Cassidy or else. Move forward to The Grove where Sarah and Cassidy are having a girls day out just to catch up with each other and yet that sisterly bonding turns into an argument about how disappointed Cassidy is with Sarah. Cut to the parking garage where several men appear to take Cassidy in order to get further information about project Eagle Eye, which Cassidy knows nothing about. Sarah makes the decision to get captured for her sister’s sake instead of going all super agent and blow her cover inevitably her other life to Cassidy. The scene begins around noon with the façade of Buy More and inside you see the interior of the Home Theater room. After a second or two you see Casey walk in, close the doors, looks around, pulls the shades, goes to the wall, pushes a few buttons, steps back, and an image of Beckman comes on screen leading to a back and forth conversation]
Beckman: What is the situation with Jeremiah Wexler’s daughter Agent Casey…is she being well protected?
Casey: Yes General…Agent Walker is protecting her as we speak.
Beckman: I see…may I ask why you are currently talking with me and aren’t with Agent Walker protecting Wexler’s daughter?
Casey: Don’t you trust Walker going solo with the task at hand, especially one as so important as this one?
Beckman: We’re the NSA John…you know our motto. In God we trust…
Casey: All others we monitor…yes I know it very well.
Beckman: [serious look] You of all people should know its hard to trust people in our line of work Agent Casey. Listen…its not a matter of trusting Agent Walker…it’s a matter of her doing her job and protecting someone very important…Cassidy Wexler.
Casey: I know General…I fully trust Walker as an agent who will stop at nothing to get the job done no matter what obstacle she may face before her.
Beckman: I’m not doubting that one bit, but…
Casey: [curious look] But what?
Beckman: I just have my concerns about Chuck and Agent Walker. It just seems to me Mr. Bartowksi is taking the cover relationship a bit more seriously than I would like it to be.
Casey: I assure you General there is no relationship between Bartowski and Agent Walker…it’s strictly professional in nature…nothing more…nothing less.
Beckman: I hope so…where are Agent Walker and Miss Wexler’s current location?
Casey: At The Grove…Miss Wexler stopped off for lunch after her business meeting.
Beckman: Continue to protect her and keep me informed on the situation Agent Casey.
Casey: General if I may ask...does Jeremiah Wexler know about the attack on his daughter and that there is someone out looking for the information on Project Eagle Eye.
Beckman: [serious look] That is none of your concern. I expect you to do your job and that is protecting Cassidy Wexler by any means necessary instead of asking questions. Do I make myself clear?
Casey: Crystal clear.
Beckman: Just do the job you are trained to or I will assign someone else to do for you.
Casey: [low growl] Affirmative General.
Beckman: Excellent.
[The screen turns off leading to a close up of Casey’s face. The scene switches on a busy highway where the camera cuts immediately to the façade of a black SUV and inside you see Cassidy, as well as, Sarah held at gun point being taken by the same 4 men to somewhere unknown. Cue Chuck intro]

[Fade Out]

[The scene begins with a downward ariel shot of a busy Los Angeles highway and then cut to the black 4 door SUV rolling along. Inside you see Cassidy sitting behind the driver with Sarah behind her in the back seat with two men holding guns on the opposite side of them. The head mystery man sitting in the front is in the tail end of a conversation with someone on the other end]
Man: Yes sir…we have Wexler’s daughter…
[pause]
Man: No witnesses to report except for a young lady accompanying her…another bargaining chip to hold over Wexler.
[pause]
Man: We will be at the heliport in 30 minutes and we will depart for Breckinridge Colorado with the leverage we need.
[pause]
Man: Hic Rhodus, hic salta.
[The man hangs up leading the camera to immediately pan to Sarah who has this serious/inquisitive look on her face about what the man said. Her concentration is suddenly broken up by the voice of her scared sister]
Cassidy: [scared, nervous tone] Please…I don’t know what you people want…let us go. Don’t hurt us.
[Cut to the man in the front seat speaking up as he looks straight ahead]
Man: Trust me Miss Wexler, you’re not going to be hurt…[turns to look at Cassidy]…for now. All you have to do is cooperate and tell us what my boss wants to know.
Sarah: Who are you and who is your boss?
Man: [looks at Sarah] My name is Sebastian and that is all you need to know. Tto answer your second question…no. You will meet him in due time. Answer MY question…[turns to look at Sarah] Who are you?
Sarah: DeAnna Wexler
Cassidy: She’s my little sister.
Sebastian: Ah 2 Wexler daughters for the price of one…fortunate for us. Now if you don’t mind…[looks at Sarah as he points to Cassidy]…can you ask your sister for me what I need to know about Project Eagle Eye.
Cassidy: I have no idea what you’re talking about…please let my little sister go…she’s just a kid.
Sarah: I am NOT a kid…I’m a grown woman who can take care of and make decisions for her self.
Cassidy: You may be a grown woman but you’re still making bad decisions.
Sarah: You know what I think…
Cassidy: Oh please share…
[Cut to Sebastian and the other 2 men witness the two siblings having a verbal argument leading Sebastian to interrupt]
Sebastian: LADIES! [cut to both Cassidy and Sarah looking at Sebastian] Settle your issues later…I advise both of you to cooperate fully or else?
Sarah: Or else what?
Sebastian: [serious look] Your father will suffer the loss of 2 beautiful children and your blood will be on his hands.
[The shot pans immediately to a freaked out Cassidy. She then looks at Sarah inevitably giving her a quick glance leading to a serious look on her face as she looks at Sebastian. The scene switches from the black S.U.V to the office of General Beckman in Washington D.C. who is sitting at her desk. A few seconds later her cell phone rings leading her to pick up and hear a somewhat familiar voice from the past]
Voice on phone: Hello Edna
Beckman: Who is this and how do you know my name?
Voice on phone: I’m hurt…how can you forget an old friend especially one who was partly responsible for you being in such a considerably important position.
Beckman: Marcus?
[The scene ends with a serious/astonished look on her face as it finally dawns on her who is speaking to her on the other end of the line]

[Fade Out]

[The scene begins where it left off as Beckman speaks to an old friend from her past who apparently has some influence in getting her to where she is today. Beckman standing by her desk in front of her window looking out as she talks with Marcus who is not seen]
Beckman: It’s been 20 years since I last talked with you.
Voice of Marcus: You and Jeremiah know the reason why.
Beckman: As I recall Marcus, you’re belief that we should control history instead of guiding it conflicted with the group’s belief, which ultimately led to your expulsion from the Zeigeist.
Voice of Marcus: I still believe in that ideal and it can become a reality by giving me the information and wherabouts that I need concerning Project Eagle Eye.
Beckman: I don’t know what you’re talking about.
Voice of Marcus: Edna…don’t act dumb because I know you better than that. With the weapons capabilities built on the satellite it’s considered ultimate power that can bring enemies to their knees.
Beckman: Even if I did know about what you’re talking about what makes you think I will share vital information with you?
Voice of Marcus: Unless you want to Jeremiah’s daughter to live you will tell me…better yet…show me where the top secret satellite is being built.
[Beckman’s eyes widen as she hears the threat by Marcus about her goddaughter. The scene switches from Beckman’s office to the Buy More where Chuck walks in street clothes instead of his work clothes where he’s immediately met by his partner in crime Morgan]
Morgan: What’s up buddy…how is the ole noggin after getting El Kabonged in the head.
Chuck: Well…remember that scene where Michael Ironside blows up that guy’s head who sort of looked like George Constanza in the movie Scanners?
Morgan: Yeah…it not only makes me laugh, it’s my fave seen to watch over and over again.
Chuck: [rubs back of head] I feel like that guy set on a continuous loop.
Morgan: Ouch…sorry dude...hey if it makes you feel any better there’s a Guitar Heroes competition going on in the break room. How about you and I against Lester and Jeff?
Chuck: Sorry Morg…my head is pounding…[looks at Anna who is helping a customer behind the nerd herd desk]…how about Anna take my place. She’s a fairly good player and what she lacks in skill she can make up in intimidation.
Morgan: You got that right…last night she had some skills as we both were playing twister…naked…
Chuck: [holds hand up as he interrupts Morgan] Morgan….I really don’t want to know.
Morgan: All righty then.
[Chuck and Morgan suddenly hear a loud roar from the back leading Morgan to rush back to the break room leading Chuck to walk to his office. As he is about to reach the door Abe walk up]
Abe: Hey son…how are you doing?
Chuck: [walks into his office and sits down] Despite the slight headache I have flashing from something Casey said I’m doing okay.
Abe: Anything to do with Project Eagle Eye?
Chuck: How do you know about Project Eagle Eye? [Abe gives Chuck a looking] Right…you used to be a spy…I tend to forget that part at times. What else do you know?
Abe: Well…you installed a GPS tracking system on a heart shaped necklace you gave Sarah on Valentine’s Day and you leave the handheld console in your sock drawer along with some interesting reading material.
Chuck: First off…wow…secondly…there’s reasonably good explanation for those. [Abe looks at Chuck] They’re Morgan’s.
Abe: [smirks and smacks Chuck’s knee] Uh huh…relax son…I’m not judging you…besides you are a grown man. Anyways, so what did the flash tell you about Project Eagle Eye and how Beckman, as well as, Sarah’s father are involved in this?
Chuck: Have you ever heard of a group calling themselves Zeitgeist?
Abe: [eyes widen] I not only have heard of them, I had a close personal encounter with one of them.
Chuck: What happened?
Abe: He killed my partner and left me for dead by one of their members.
[Cut to a shocked/horrified look on Chuck’s face as he hears about how he was nearly fatherless at the hands of the Zeitgeist. The scene ends with a shot of Abe who is a very serious look on his face as he is about to talk about the circumstances behind his near death experience involving the Zeitgeist]

[Fade Out]

[The scene begins back at Beckman’s office where she is now sitting at her desk with an extremely serious look on her face as the conversation intensifies between her and Marcus]
Beckman: Cassidy…you have Cassidy?
Voice of Marcus: Indeed I do and if you don’t cooperate and give me what I want I will eliminate her.
Beckman: You wouldn’t dare!
Voice of Marcus: You of all people should know what I’m capable of Edna.
Beckman: I do… and I had to cover up several of your messes.
Voice of Marcus: I wouldn’t have trusted anyone else but you to do it. I considered you my absolute saving grace.
Beckman: Why are you doing this?
Voice of Marcus: Retribution.
Beckman: Retribution…for what?
Voice of Marcus: Being wrongfully expelled for expressing my belief that we should control history.
Beckman: You know that’s not our way.
Voice of Marcus: It SHOULD have been.
[The scene switches from Beckman office back to Chuck’s office where Abe is sharing his encounter of nearly dying at the hands from a member of the Zeitgeist]
Abe: His name was Marcus Stefano and he killed me…or so he thought.
Chuck: What happened?
Abe: One of my missions as a member of Secton 8 was to infiltrate an organization who considered to be in all intensive purposes influential puppeteers that essentially pulled the strings in certain situations of world history.
Chuck: So…what you’re trying to say is the Zeitgeist can be compared to Senator Palpatine from Star Wars. [A confused/bewildered look shows on Abe’s face leading to Chuck to explain] Sorry…what I’m trying to say that on the surface that the unassuming figurehead/guiding light of the Republic, was helping the Jedi. However, underneath it all he was actually Dark Sidious, The Dark Lord of The Sith who manipulated the Jedi council through a cloak of deception and treachery to the point where many of the Jedi were wiped out with the exception of Obe Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker a.k.a Darth Vader, and Master Yoda of course.
Abe: [raised eyebrow and puts hand on Chuck’s shoulder] You know son…I’m truly thankful you have Sarah in your life or I would be really worried about you.
Chuck: [confused smile] Thanks…I think.
Abe: [stands up and walks around office] Anyways…getting back to Marcus. It was 1972, in Zurich, Switzerland…my partner and I found out that he was the man behind the scenes encouraging Norway and Switzerland to sign an industrial free-trade agreement with the European Union.
Chuck: Why?
Abe: Norway and Switzerland are Europe’s two richest countries leading them both to become more dependent on trading with the European Union than with the United Kingdom. The UK has a greater global economic system, but it was Marcus Stefano guidance that led to the European Union inevitably winning out in the end. Guess who has stock options and just so happens to be part of the European Union?
Chuck: Zeitgeist.
Abe: [points at Chuck] You got it and with profit comes unlimited resources to work from for both personal and financial gain. I would have stopped him from putting his plan into fruition, but somehow he found out my intention leading him to personally see to it that I don’t live to see another day.
Chuck: What did he do?
Abe: He found us…killed my partner and then ordered his men beat me up. After that he interrogated me, but I didn’t talk leading him to poison me with Hydrogen Cyanide which has a bitter almond odor. I saw the smirk on his face as he was hovering over me. He left me for dead knowing that in his mind I was a dead man.
Chuck: How did you survive?
Abe: I barely survived and as I lay their on the floor looking up at the ceiling I remembered that Sodium Thiosulfate is the antidote for Hydrogen Cyanide.
Chuck: Huh…this sounds similar to an episode of MacGyver where Pete get’s poisoned by Hydrogen Cyanide and MacGyver uses the fixing agent from the photo shop’s printing machine to create the antidote to save him. Was there a photo shop in the hotel where you stayed?
Abe: [looks at Chuck] I was getting to that before you interrupted me…anyways…to make a long story short I cheated death and to this day I have never forgotten the smirk on Marcus’ face as he stood over me. I use my partner’s death as an incentive to fight the good fight.
[An angered look appears on Abe’s face as he looks afar off thinking about getting his hands Marcus and exacting some good old fashioned revenge. The scene ends with close of shot of Abe’s face in the foreground and then to Chuck in the background who has this expression of amazement]

[Fade Out]

[The scene begins back with a shot of Beckman’s office door. Inside you see Beckman walk into camera view where she continues to have a serious conversation with Marcus who informed her that he has Cassidy in his clutches]
Beckman: You don’t have to do this…you still have time to do the right and let Cassidy go or I will be forced to come after you.
Voice of Marcus: The right thing? What I believe is right is quite different from what you, Jeremiah, and my former associates believe.
Beckman: Then I must do….
Voice of Marcus: [interrupts Beckman] How is your son doing?
Beckman: [eyes widen] David is doing fine.
Voice of Marcus: He’s doing more than just fine…he’s graduating with honors from Duke University and if I’m not mistaken…he’s recently got engaged to a beautiful young lady named Leslie. From what my men have told me…they’re having a fun time at Busch Gardens.
Beckman: Leave him and his fiancé out of this.
Voice of Marcus: You know me…you know my tactics and I will use whatever means to my advantage.
Beckman: What do you want me to do?
Voice of Marcus: Good girl…meet me in Breckenridge, Colorado and once there drive to a local eatery called Eagle Diner. We'll meet there.
Beckman: And then?
Voice: of Marcus: That’s all the information you’re getting and that’s all I need to say to you. Oh…wait a minute…I want to say one more thing.
Beckman: What?
Voice of Marcus: Safe travels.
[Marcus hangs up leading Beckman to call her secretary and inform that she’s going out on personal business. She hangs up, gives a serious look, and leaves walks over camera view. The scene switches from Beckman’s office to Chuck’s office where you see Abe and Chuck walk out. As they do Casey walks up]
Casey: Bartowski, have you heard from Walker…its 2pm?
Chuck: Not yet…come on Casey let Sarah and Cassidy have time to catch up. They haven’t seen each other in quite awhile.
Abe: Relax Casey…its not the end of the world.
Chuck: Yeah Casey relax…don’t you have a brother or a sister that you haven’t seen in a long while? If I would fair to guess you were either the younger brother or middle child in the family seeing that you have that I will never be given another atomic wedgie demeanor ever again.
Abe: Stuff it Bartowski.
Chuck: Look Casey…Cassidy is with Sarah and somebody would be an outright fool to mess with her sister. Trust me when I say Cassidy is in good hands.
[As he says that the scene switches to a close up sign saying Barton Heliport and then a black S.U.V driving past. Cut to a UH 60 Black Hawk helicopter getting ready for taking and then the black S.U.V pulling up. All 6 occupants get out and head towards the copter. Sebastian watches as the two men point their guns at Cassidy and Sarah encouraging them to get in. Cassidy looks at Sarah who gives her big sister a comforting nod leading Sarah to look at Sebastian who just gives a sly smirk. As Sarah turns to get in she clutches her heart locket in her right hand]
