True Lies (2023) s01e05 Episode Script

1
HARRY: I'm Harry Tasker,
husband, dad, computer salesman,
and for 17 years the most
important person in my life
didn't know I was also something else.
Omega Sector's top spy.
HELEN: I'm Helen Tasker,
wife, mom and professor.
After an unfortunate incident
where I found out our
whole life was a lie,
now I'm also a spy.
HARRY: Honey, all
those things are true.
- They're just, you know
- HELEN: What?
HARRY: True lies.
♪
I spy with my little eye ♪
Oh, I like it, gonna make it mine ♪
Okay, team, target is
approaching your position.
Maria, Luther, you're
spotting the target.
Helen, you're on translation duty.
Harry, when he's in
place, take him down.
Would you smile?
We're in the nation's capital.
Capital? Wow, you're a trivia machine.
I didn't say "sarcasm," I said "smile."
Smile.
Eyes on the target.
(SPEAKING RUSSIAN)
Either that dude had too
much coffee this morning
or he's looking a bit jumpy.
Well, he's selling top secret intel.
You got to expect some jump.
Ten bucks, he's a runner.
I will take that action.
GIB: Hey, Helen?
Our boy say anything about
where he's handing off the file?
(SPEAKING RUSSIAN)
He said the drop's
gonna be in ten minutes.
6th and H. Harry?
Eyes on. Ready for intercept.
GIB: Harry, Dana's called you twice now.
Yeah, a little busy here, Gib,
tell her I'll call her back.
Copy.
Uh, now she's texting.
Harry, we got a 911 with
three exclamation points.
Three exclamation points, Harry?
All right, put her through.
Yeah, Dana, it's Dad.
Dad, finally.
Listen, I need a ring light, like, ASAP.
- A what? A ring light.
- It's-it's for TikTok, to post.
Dana, "911" is for emergencies.
This is an emergency.
Look, if I don't post right now,
Brie is gonna upload first,
and then nobody is gonna hear my song.
Guys, the target is
getting really antsy.
He literally thinks everyone
in the park is following him.
He's a runner.
Three, two
LUTHER: Don't do it,
don't do it, don't do it.
And there he goes.
Target's bolting. Harry?
Dana, I'll call you back. Got to run.
Dad!
(GRUNTS)
Like candy from a spy baby.
All right. Enough.
Uh, Harry?
- You're getting another text.
- (PHONE CHIMES)
♪
I mean, you can't call
and say, "Emergency," Dana.
So, I interrupted a
computer sales meeting?
You-you Yeah.
Exactly, you interrupted a sales
meeting, and meetings are important.
They pay for this house,
your food, your phone.
Okay, I told you that I needed to post.
How am I supposed to be a singer
if I can't even post a decent TikTok?
Singer?
I thought you wanted to
be a marine biologist.
Oh, my God, Dad, that
was when I was a kid.
It was last year. I'm just
trying to follow my dreams,
which is what you've told me to do,
and you're, like, you're crushing them.
You're, like, bad crushing them.
You know what you are, Dad?
You are a (SIGHS)
dream crusher.
(TAPPING ON PHONE KEYS)
Wait, wait, wait,
are you posting about me right now?
You know what? This is gone.
- What are you doing?
- Taking your phone away.
- You can't just take my phone.
- Oh, really?
'Cause I think I just did.
Dana.
Don't
say it. I
just think you might
be pushing her away.
I'm not pushing her away, Helen.
She doesn't listen to me anymore.
She never used to talk to me like that.
I know.
I'm not saying it's your fault, Harry.
I just think, you know,
maybe she needs a little
more carrot and less stick.
All she has is carrots.
In her room, just bags full of carrots.
We're too soft on her, Helen.
It's time to lay down the law.
(LAUGHS) Lay down the law?
Are we old-timey sheriffs now?
Come on, she just needs an incentive.
What if we give her,
like, a point system?
A point system, seriously?
It's about clear expectations
and positive reinforcement.
I'll talk to her.
That is laundry, and you
can do that right there.
Dana, where do you think you're going?
Katie's. I can't even deal here.
- Okay, I know you're upset, but we have to
- Upset?
Dad just took my phone.
That is like removing a limb.
That is like a form of violence.
Okay, I don't think that will fly
with child protective
services, sweetheart.
What if we make a point system.
You know, you can earn points
when you do good things,
like the dishes or things
around the house for rewards,
like your phone.
You cannot be serious.
Dana.
You guys literally don't even know me.
(DOOR CLOSES)
How many points does she get for that?
Okay, that
We're ironing out the details, Harry.
Ah
MARIA: Guys,
we've got a serious incident.
- I need a ring light.
- Wow.
You guys are hilarious, you know that?
Okay, parenting is harder than it looks.
Which is why I don't
even have a hamster.
Sorry to interrupt the fun,
but the analyst guys got a
look at those files we received
from the runner in the park yesterday.
Eyes up here.
COMPUTER: Briefing. An
unknown hacker has compromised
key Israeli and Syrian defense systems,
gaining control of
approximately 40 missiles.
Your mission: find the hacker
and unlock the systems.
Due to the risk of war, armed
conflict is to be avoided at all costs.
Wait a minute, who's behind it?
The Israelis or the Syrians?
Both sides say it's not them.
Israel's accusing Syria.
Syria's accusing Israel.
What about demands?
None, yet,
but no one destabilizes
the Middle East for kicks.
Like the computer guy says,
we got to defuse this situation
before missiles start flying.
Helen, you're on the team now.
You-you don't have to
raise your hand. What?
Uh, how do we track
down an anonymous hacker?
That's the thing about orders,
the "how" part is on us.
Who loves research?
No.
GIB: Dossiers on every hacker
in our archives are loaded up.
Have fun. I will.
("GOOD LIKE I SHOULD"
BY NEVADA WILD PLAYING)
♪
I'm alive, I'm alive ♪
I'm feeling good, good, good ♪
Like I should ♪
Oh! ♪
Man, oh, man ♪
Ugh, it's like finding a
needle in a stack of needles.
How do you say "needle" in Russian,
North Korean and Chinese?
I got ten more possible
suspects from Syria and Israel.
Ha!
Well, it ain't them
'cause the Gibinator strikes again.
Gibinator? Wow, that's
- really creative.
- Right? Yeah, it's my online handle.
So, look, I reached out
to a code-breaking pal on the dark web.
Turns out, there's a
new hacker on the scene
who's been low-key
bragging about hacking
into military missile defense systems.
Code name: Hav0k.
What country does he work for?
No one knows that yet,
but I did identify his attack signature,
and I'm tracing that through
multiple VPNs right now.
You don't have to raise your hand.
So, we just go to wherever
the hacker is located?
Exactly, and if it is Israel
or Syria, we're gonna need
some clothes that breathe.
- So hot.
- MARIA: Ooh, what about something
on the beach? Or an
island? Please say Maritius.
Or Rome. You guys
remember that pizza? Oh
GIB: It's none of those.
It's Florida.
(GROANS)
I have never been to Florida.
GIB: To hack foreign
missile defense systems,
Hav0k needed processing
power, and lots of it,
which is why he hacked NASA's
data lines at Cape Canaveral.
I knew he'd want to stay off-radar
for this kind of black hat op,
so once I narrowed down all
the possible VPN gateways,
I singled out a cloned IP address here,
south of Jacksonville.
He's based in that dumpy
trailer over there,
but don't be fooled,
Hav0k is good, real good.
And this kind of good
usually means dangerous,
so heads up, be ready for anything.
Windows are covered. We have no idea
what's waiting for us on the inside.
If this Hav0k guy finds
out that we're coming
He might wipe all the info
we need from his system, yeah.
Okay, I was thinking more
about him killing everyone,
but
Well, yeah, that, too.
- We need to surprise him.
- LUTHER: Ooh.
Are you thinking what
I think you're thinking?
- I think I'm thinking what you're thinking.
- Okay,
the Can Opener.
Do I even want to know?
♪
(DETONATOR BEEPS)
- Go, go, go.
- Move in. Watch your flank.
- MARIA: Don't move.
- Hands up! Clear.
Dude, what the hell?!
MARIA: I think our incredibly
dangerous terrorist is a kid.
- Who are you?
- What's going on?
Who hired you to hack those systems?
I don't know what you're talking about.
- We know you're Hav0k.
- Hav-what?
Hav0k. I've never
even heard of the dude.
Oh, yeah? Whose skateboard is that?
It's just, you know, like, a cool name.
Who even are you? You're
not the cops, you're not FBI
with the lame team jackets.
We're representatives of
the United States government.
Well, Biff, I've got friends online
who told me how to deal with
government guys like you.
I got rights.
HARRY: Did your online
buddies tell you how to get
a lawyer to stay out of GitMo, Hav0k?
Okay, let's say I was this-this
awesome-sounding Hav0k
character, how would you begin
- to prove that?
- We traced your code.
You couldn't trace my code if I wrote it
on that square forehead of
yours. So, go ask the brains
of your operation.
You've got nothing on me.
HARRY: Are you serious?
Do you want me to throw you in
prison for, like, 70 felonies?
Are you serious?
You want me to call the real cops
on you for blowing up my trailer?
You can't just take my phone.
Oh, yeah? What're you gonna do?
- What're you gonna do?
- Harry.
Harry, a word?
I can't believe this kid.
- Remember when I talked about, you know
- I don't
- pushing the kids too hard?
- Oh, the kids.
Th-This kid, he called me Biff.
I know. He said a lot of mean things.
He has no idea.
I'm gonna talk to him.
Yeah. I give up. You go talk to him.
Maybe he'll give up the
control of the missiles
if you give him enough points.
Okay.
Hi. You can go ahead and get up.
So, you're the good cop?
Uh
Max Graves? Is that your name?
I don't have to answer your questions.
(COMPUTER CHIMING)
Something wrong?
It's just, I was in
the middle of something
when you guys busted in. I
- I just I-I need to
- Oh, no, I don't think that's allowed.
Can you hold this?
(CLATTERS)
Okay, uh, can you
just give me just one second?
If you guys could just step
out for one second. So-so great.
Thank you so much.
I just need to tell them that I'm okay.
Maybe if you help us.
Those guys are like my family.
You can't just (SCOFFS)
You can't just cut
me off from my family.
(COMPUTER CHIMING)
HELEN: Mm. I'm not sure "PwnyBoee"
is exactly
family, but
I tell you what,
you want to talk to him?
Give us the missile codes.
That's extortion.
No, it's clear expectations
and positive reinforcement.
You are in a lot of trouble, Max.
You do not want to live like this.
Let us help you.
I don't need your help. I'm fine.
I wouldn't call this
- fine.
- Wow, I thought Biff was the dense one.
Look, this is a satellite office.
I've got a Cocoa Beach
condo and $3 million in NFTs.
Do you have $3 million
in digital assets?
No, you don't. How do I know?
How?
Your basic-ass shoes.
HELEN: What? My shoes?
Harry, maybe we should
rethink our approach here.
He is working them.
You think you could do better?
Yeah, kids love me.
Like Dana and Jake?
They think you're a total dork.
Me, on the other hand, they love me.
Who, Jake? He's a 14-year-old boy,
of course he loves you.
You're hot.
A.I.-generated cipher algorithm.
Kid's good.
(ALARM SOUNDING)
Uh, guys, we got a team of
commandos moving in on foot.
About a quarter klick out. Who are they?
Could be Syrians or the Israelis
Which one?
I don't know. All I see is guys
in green uniforms and guns.
- Oh, they got lots of guns.
- What are we supposed to do?
We need to pack up
all his stuff and move.
If the wrong people get access
to his computer system
- That thing's the size of a refrigerator.
- Yeah, we don't have time for that.
- How much detcord do we have left?
- I'm on it.
Wait, wait, wait, detcord?
Why do you need detcord?
Who hired you? Is it
those guys out there?
- I told you, I work for myself.
- Why did you hack the missiles?
That's none of your business.
60 seconds out.
Wait, wait, wait, wait. What-what
are you guys doing? That's my system.
Yeah, well, it's about to
be theirs if we don't do it.
- We have no choice.
- No, no, no, no.
Hey, Helen, can you
get him out of here, please?
You guys don't
understand what you're doing.
There are files on that
system that can't just go away.
- 30 seconds out.
- Clear out.
Well, you can't just
blow up our problem like that.
15 seconds out.
Please trust me on this.
You don't want to do this.
Light it up, Maria.
(DETONATOR BEEPS)
No, no, no. That is so messed up!
(GUNFIRE)
Get him in the truck!
Get in the car.
Duck down, duck down.
All right, I checked the
sat feeds. We lost them.
MAX: You seeing this?
This is ridiculous.
I'm pretty sure it's
against the Geneva Convention
to make someone pee with
their hands tied together.
Keep complaining, and you
can try it with your hands
tied behind your back.
Guys, we need to keep moving.
I don't know what kind of
resources these dudes have,
but they're pros. All right?
They're armed and they're coordinated.
They almost slipped right
through our perimeter.
Oh, so you're the computer guy?
Computer man.
- Computer man. (BLOWS)
- HELEN: Okay.
Max, work with us,
and we get to go home.
- Unlock the missiles.
- I told you, but you don't seem to listen.
I can't unlock the
missiles without my system,
which you guys blew up!
Do you have any idea how much
Bitcoin I had to get to buy that thing?
You know, I've made a lot
of tough calls on this job,
but this kid is testing me.
And I may have to kill him.
Can we put him in front
of a computer, please?
It's not that easy.
Even if he cooperates, it's not like
we can just pop into an internet café.
Now, with the proper modifications,
the Omega mainframe should work.
Well, great.
We could make that
drive back in ten hours.
- Let's hit the road.
- LUTHER: Whoa, whoa. Are you kidding?
We have no escort, we're
outnumbered, we're outgunned.
I'm out of things to list.
- It's bad. It's just bad.
- Luther's right.
We need tactical support,
we need help, we need an exfil team.
Trilby's working on it,
but it's gonna take time.
DOD doesn't want a firefight
with an unknown foreign power.
What's unknown? It's Israel or Syria.
Yeah, and if there's gonna be a fight,
they got to know which one it is.
And as soon as they do,
we're on the next chopper out of here.
Until then, we lay low.
Lay low, like
a hotel?
A nice hotel?
Like the Four Seasons?
Luther and Maria are setting
up a full security perimeter
with infrared and motion detection.
I'll monitor from the van.
These guys are not gonna
sneak up on us again.
- You two are on Max duty.
- What?
I'd rather face the commandos alone.
Can you talk to him? GIB: Me?
Ooh, uh-uh. Nah, I'm the
last one you want doing that.
Do the whole "kid" thing.
Make him comfortable, make him like you.
Most importantly,
make him give us those missiles back.
Okay. Um
Oh, God.
I will talk to him.
I really feel like I was getting
through to him last time.
- You'll see.
- Okay.
We can just shoot him.
That kid is a handful, huh?
Boys are the worst.
That's why if I ever have a kid,
I will definitely have a girl.
She have a name?
A name?
Uh, like
I always thought Sue was a good name.
Sue? What is she, 70?
Sue happens to be the
name of my favorite teacher.
She said I had potential.
But, okay, if not Sue,
what's a name you like?
Bridget.
Bridget, okay.
I imagine she'd be
opinionated, like you.
Opinionated?
I just mean feisty.
Just stop before you put your
foot any farther down your throat.
- I'm gonna go grab the cords.
- Okay.
HARRY: So, kids, listen.
I wanted to surprise
your mom with a day trip
and a romantic date night,
but we got a flat tire.
The tow truck driver said it was a nail.
Anyway, so we're gonna
spend the night here,
we're gonna wake up, have
breakfast, fix that tire,
but we'll back by lunch.
How are you guys doing?
I have these guys, if you're hungry.
What is that, a bribe?
No, I just thought you might like it.
Max, I can kind of tell you haven't
been taken care of in a while.
I told you, my crew, we
take care of each other.
Your "computer family."
I guess I'm kind of wondering
more about your real family,
you know?
Do they know that you're
out there all alone?
Um
They're, uh, not around.
Mm-hmm.
Is that something you got from them?
Yeah.
Um, this belonged to my mom.
(CRYING)
Oh, I'm so sorry.
It's okay.
Thank you for telling me.
(LAUGHING)
Wait, what?
Oh, my God, your face.
What? Why would you lie
about something like that?
I don't know, go ask your husband.
I can hear him lying to
your kids outside right now.
That's different.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm pretty sure it's exactly the same.
Face it, you're terrible parents.
And in case you weren't listening
the first time, you have
trash taste in footwear.
How about this? How about
you don't get any more television
until you learn a couple of manners?
(GRUNTS)
I guess you won't be
watching any television on that.
Uh, honey, a word?
What happened to more
carrot, less stick?
No, you were right. No more carrots,
no vegetables.
More stick, more stick.
- Helen, wait.
- What?
I was wrong about the points thing.
Maybe for every missile
that Max unlocks,
we give him 30 minutes of screen time.
We do not
negotiate with terrorists!
Hey, Gib, we just had
a major power surge.
All the electricity is out in the motel.
This could be the
beginning of an attack.
GIB: If it is, I don't
know where it's coming from.
Whatever just happened
came from inside the motel.
- Inside? How?
- I don't know.
I'm just saying,
I got zilch on the satellite.
Get to Max ASAP.
Max?
Harry, we got a real problem here.
That surge just knocked
out the motion detectors
Maria and Luther put up.
HELEN: We're working on it, Gib.
We seem to have run into a little
- (GROWLS)
- problem.
Guys, please tell me you got him.
No. He's gone.
(SIGHS) We've been
searching for this kid for ages.
How can there be no sign of him?
And, Gib, how did he
get past our sensors?
The kid's smart.
He took out power to
the entire building,
which knocked out every sensor we had.
But where would he even go?
HELEN: Probably went
to find his friends.
He has this online surrogate family.
He probably went to go find them.
Well, I haven't detected
any Hav0k activity
on any of the hacker boards.
However
You know, one good thing about
being in the middle of nowhere?
It makes it pretty easy to
find suspicious-looking SUVs.
Guys, I think we've
located our commandos.
Yeah, well, you guys go check that out.
We'll look around the
next town for the kid.
Copy that.
Meet at the designated
rendezvous at 0500.
Do you think Max was right?
About what?
He said we were terrible parents.
Honey, you cannot listen to that kid.
He's a punk.
I know. He's in no position to judge.
You know, but, I mean,
do you feel like we're good parents?
I feel like they grow up too fast.
I mean, it's like
I don't even know what to say anymore.
- It's like everything we do is wrong.
- Well, we push too hard
or-or it's not enough.
Or we're too strict or we're too kind.
Exactly no, I
That's-that's what I mean.
Every single thing
has huge consequences.
You know? The stakes are so high
with every decision
the future hangs in the balance
literally.
It's, it's like working for
Omega Sector. (CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
- Yeah. But at least there's a training manual.
- (LAUGHS)
How can there be a training
manual for being a spy
but not for being a parent?
Well, technically, there's about 10,000
training manuals for parenting.
Well, I guess we have
some reading to do.
LUTHER: How can one kid and
a computer cause all this trouble?
I don't know.
This is exactly why we shouldn't
let Bridget go online
until she's at least 15.
"We"?
Yeah, I'm gonna be her cool uncle.
You know, I feel like I should
have some say in her in upbringing.
I guess you could take her
- bowling.
- Yeah, that's a great start.
Okay, but you are
definitely just the uncle.
We're not co-parenting.
Okay, I'll just be the guy
that gets her cool presents.
And drives a cool car.
I'm sorry, y'all. Who's Bridget?
Uh, Maria's daughter.
Imaginary daughter.
Have you two ever considered therapy?
I know a guy.
Come on, Gib, you've never
even considered having kids?
Nope.
All right, here we go.
Harry, we're approaching
the warehouse now.
Any luck on your end?
Negative.
Every local business is closed
and we just left the bus station.
He wasn't there.
All right, well, keep looking.
What about that?
Do you see that, that light?
I don't know, may be
something from a computer.
GIB: Okay, guys,
remember this is just a recon mission.
The SUVs at the warehouse match the ones
the commandos were driving.
LUTHER: Eyes on target.
MARIA: We're moving in.
Paydirt, Gib, it's them.
Can you get close enough to hear 'em?
I think so.
(COMMANDOS SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)
COMMANDO 1: So what's our plan?
- COMMANDO 2: For now, we wait.
- These guys are speaking English,
no accent.
I don't think they're Israelis.
No one makes a move until
we hear from The Pyramid.
- LUTHER: You hear that, Gib?
- What?
Something about The Pyramid?
Never heard of 'em.
COMMANDO: We got him.
Hav0k logged into a messaging app.
- We got his location.
- How far?
Close. We've already got a
team less than a block away.
- Load up! Ready.
- (RUSTLES)
Hey, did you hear
something? What was that?
Guys, what's happening?
- COMMANDO: I got nothing.
- Let's go, let's go, let's go.
- (ENGINE STARTS)
- Go, go.
(COMMANDOS SPEAK INDISTINCTLY)
GIB: Guys, where are
they running off to?
(TIRES SCREECHING)
They think they found Max.
Oh, so this was the plan, huh?
Break into an auto shop
and get on the computer?
You caused a lot of
trouble, kid, you know that?
Okay, well, maybe if you guys had let me
- talk to my friends, I could have
- Oh, your friends were that important?
They thought I got kidnapped or killed.
They actually want to help me.
We also want to help
you, so come with us,
unlock the missiles. You can get
back to all the computer fun stuff.
GIB: Harry, you got an
SUV full of commandos
heading your way,
okay? Approaching soon.
- Our location's compromised.
- What, how is that even possible?
He was on the Internet
talking to his buddies.
- They probably traced him.
- That's impossible. I used encryption.
Well, they broke it.
That's why they're here.
(TIRES SCREECH)
Gib, I got a lot of guys.
We need backup now.
Harry, we're at least ten minutes out.
- (COMMANDOS SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)
- I don't have ten minutes.
They're surrounding us.
Those are the guys that are after me!
Yes, those are the people we were trying
to protect you from.
Harry, what do we do?
All right, you keep
the guys out front busy.
I'm gonna go deal with the others.
Just point and shoot. Try to miss.
We don't want to start a war.
Miss, yes, that. That I can do.
(GRUNTING)
Get down!
(GRUNTING)
(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)
Harry, I think I'm running out!
I'll be right there, Helen!
(GRUNTING)
- Get your foot off me!
- Be quiet, stay down.
- Clear.
- No, we're not clear.
Now we're clear.
MAX: Okay, that? That was awesome!
Guys, we got two SUVs full
of commandos approaching.
- You need to get out of there.
- You ready to go now?
Absolutely.
All right, come on, come on.
How much longer until the
rendezvous point, Harry?
It was a half klick last
time you asked, Helen.
Now it's less than that.
Yeah, you know, sometimes
I think you guys are just
making up terms to make me feel bad.
How far in normal people
terms until we get there?
It's right there.
That's how far.
Guess we just missed
you at the auto shop.
We picked up the car
after everybody left.
Saw the fireworks.
And the bullet holes.
You're a popular guy.
If they caught me, what do
you think they would have done?
HARRY: They would have
forced you to give up control
- of those missile systems.
- It wasn't supposed to happen like this.
It wasn't supposed to go this far.
We can get you out of this, Max,
once we get back to the headquarters.
And why should I trust you?
- Who else are you gonna trust?
- HARRY: Your little hacker buddies?
Okay (LAUGHS) who
am I supposed to trust?
The government?
My parents died in a freaking car crash,
and all they did was
throw me in foster care.
They're they are actually ?
Dead? Yeah.
So don't, don't tell
me I shouldn't trust
the only people that
give a crap about me.
Wouldn't your friends
want to keep you safe, Max?
My friends would want me to be smart.
I have some bad news about that.
Luther and Maria heard the
commandos in green talking.
Turns out,
they're not with Israel or Syria.
They were hired by The Pyramid.
What's The Pyramid, Gib? Ask Max.
He'll tell you all about it.
No, you're lying.
The Pyramid is the name of
Max's online hacker group.
His friends hired those
commandos to get him.
No, no. See, you're making
this up to get in my head.
Kid, I cloned their phones.
I can show you the emails.
You want to see 'em?
Your buddies want to control
those missiles and sell
the access to the highest bidder.
They hired mercenaries,
told 'em where you are.
Do you understand?
They sold me out.
Yeah.
So if it's not Israel or Syria,
Omega can get us out.
(WHIRRING NEARBY)
Are those helicopters?
But why so soon?
Those aren't helicopters.
Drones.
Gib, Helen,
get Max out of here. We'll hold 'em off.
- HELEN: Go, go, go, go, go.
- HARRY: Get out of here, go!
Seriously? Exploding drones?!
GIB: I opened up a channel for the
boys in green and just heard back.
They said that was a warning shot.
And if we don't hand over the kid,
they're gonna run us off
the road and come take him.
Gib, can you hack the drones?
I'm trying! They're using an
encrypted signal, all right?
- (MARIA MUTTERS)
- I think they're done with the warning shots.
Shoot 'em out of the sky.
(GUNSHOTS)
Hey! Hey! Hey, hey! Snap out of it!
Kid, you made a mess, you understand?
And when you make a mess,
you got to clean up the mess.
It-it wasn't supposed
to happen like this.
I-I was just trying to
stop them from fighting.
Yeah, well, sometimes things
don't go according to plan.
(GUNSHOTS)
HELEN: There's a drone on my tail.
GIB: Get rid of it!
This wasn't in my training.
Right now, you got two options.
You can do the right
thing and help us out.
Or you can let people die.
You know anything about
drone control frequencies?
Okay, okay, I'm gonna try to
override their control frequency.
There's no way you
can hack that in time.
But this can.
It's my AI-generated decryption key.
You got a port? Yeah, yeah, right there.
Right there, plug in, go ahead.
- (GUNSHOTS)
- (GASPS)
We've got more company!
All right, I set the
drone controls up custom.
You play Combat Commander Five?
Dude, check the online rankings.
Hav0k is top 500.
Oh, that's cute.
Holler at me when you get top three.
Wait, wait, wait, wait,
wait! You're the Gibinator?!
Gib, if you're gonna
do something, do it now.
I'm working, Harry.
(GUNSHOTS)
Figure something out!
We're running out of field!
GIB: Okay, now I got
control of those drones.
Let's fly.
Okay, kid, we only get one shot at this.
(GASPS)
We're good! We're good!
(WHIMPERS)
(PANTING)
(WHOOPING) Hav0k and the Gibinator
swooping in to save the day!
Harry, next time, you're driving.
Well, now that he's
released the missile systems,
Israel and Syria have calmed down,
so it looks like we're out
of the woods on that one.
That's great, but why is he here?
- I gave him a job.
- You what?
He knows more about weapons
encryption than anybody we've got.
Oh, he wants to apologize
to you two for the whole
"terrible parents" thing.
Helen, he has a shoe
website he wants to show you.
Come on.
Kids.
- Complicated.
- Yes.
I'm thinking I might need
a co-parent for Bridget.
Know what? I was thinking
the exact same thing.
- Really?
- Yeah, my imaginary kid Sam?
He's too much to handle alone.
He's gonna need a pretty awesome mom.
You know, someone who's smart.
Someone pretty.
Who can basically do
everything.
And when I find her, I'll let you know.
And you'll be the coolest aunt.
Oh.
Uh
yeah, great.
Gib really connected with Max, huh?
I know, that whole responsibility thing?
- Yeah.
- That was impressive.
Well, it's what we would have done.
Oh, totally, totally.
He was just in the right
place at the right time.
- Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
- (CHUCKLES)
(SIGHS) Hey, Mom. Hey, Dad.
HARRY: Hey, Dana.
Can we talk to you for a second?
If it's about the ring
light thing again
Well, it is and it isn't,
but can you just hear us out?
Thank you.
(EXHALES) So I just
wanted to say that
I may have been a little
hard on you the other day.
- And your father and I aren't dream-crushers.
- No.
We want you to be a singer
if that's what you want.
Really?
This is amazing!
Okay, I was thinking there's
some stuff that I need.
I'll probably need a new phone, right?
One with a better camera for TikTok.
Microphone would be
good for, like, clarity.
We can do my room into kind of
- like a recording booth
- Right. About all that.
I can't make your
dreams come true, kiddo.
That's your job.
Okay.
And we want to support you in taking
responsibility for your dreams.
So you can start paying
- for your own lessons and your equipment.
- Mm-hmm.
What are you guys saying?
We're saying we love you.
We're saying we believe in you.
And we're saying that
Baskin-Robbins is hiring.
Huh.

space you can call home ♪
