True Lies (2023) s01e07 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.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[SCANNER CHIMES]
Mr. Madsen, welcome.
I hope the flight was okay.
- It was fine.
- Wonderful.
You know, I have to tell you,
we are all very excited to
discuss the deal proposal.
There's no proposal yet.
I'm here to see the facility for myself.
- This is my legal team.
- Oh, of course.
We can't do anything without lawyers.
Am I right? [CHUCKLES]
All right, let's get to it.
This way, please.
I think you'll be pleased
with the meeting arrangements.
- We had lobsters flown in from Maine.
- We ate on the plane.
We're here to do business.
Well, Axe has been at the cutting edge
of the defense industry since 1982.
But that takes investors
like yourselves.
- New tech isn't cheap.
- Hmm.
We're more concerned
with whether it's secure.
Your designs aren't worth much
if they can be knocked off
in some foreign factory.
Uh, not a concern.
I'd be happy to show
you our security setup.
Yes.
I think that'd be a good idea.
This is the nerve center
of our security setup.
In an emergency, the entire system
can be locked down.
The locks can only be opened by myself
or by senior security personnel.
The system is effectively impenetrable.
Is it, though?
[CHUCKLES]
You're awfully squeamish
for a guy that runs a weapons company.
Lock the building down.
- You have five seconds.
- Please
One.
Two.
Three.
- [SALSA MUSIC PLAYING]
- One, two, three.
And one, two, three.
And one, two, three.
A-A-And one, two
Okay, I don't get the whole "and" thing.
Is that on the beat or not?
- It's Just-just follow me. It's good.
- Okay.
But aren't I supposed to be leading?
- You are leading. I'm just helping.
- Well, how can I lead if you're helping?
- Let's just keep going.
- Okay.
Okay, okay, okay.
And one, two, three.
And one, two, three.
And one, two, three.
- And
- And then spin this way.
- Whoa.
- [LAUGHS]
- Okay.
- [LAUGHING]: Okay.
- Why don't you
- Okay.
Why don't you lead after
you know all the steps?
I know the steps, it's
just the whole "and" thing
- that messes me up.
- Okay. All right.
[CLEARS THROAT]
- And one, two, three.
- And
- And one, two, three ow!
- Oh.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
- It's okay.
Honey, maybe I'm just
not a salsa dancer.
Okay, you're obviously
not a salsa dancer yet.
That's why we're learning.
Why don't I take a
lesson by myself first?
Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's how you
learn couples dancing. Alone. Mm-hmm.
I stepped on your foot. Maybe
I just don't want to hurt you.
Or maybe you just don't like
people helping you, Harry.
What are you talking about?
I have people help me all the time.
Gib at work. He mans the radio.
That's not helping,
that's division of labor.
I know you don't like
people helping you,
I know it makes you
think you're weak, Harry,
but sometimes it can
make new things possible.
Wow, that is really inspirational.
Did you get that off a bumper sticker?
- Mm-hmm.
- That's nice.
- Thank you.
- I just don't see
- how salsa dancing is
- [WATCH BEEPS]
Ooh. That's Omega.
Looks urgent.
Can you try not looking so excited
that there's a national
emergency, Harry?
That's Omega. Looks urgent.
Okay, I bought that one.
♪
So, what's up with this briefing?
We get an urgent message,
and there's nobody here.
MARIA: Yeah, where's Gib?
Guess we have extra time
to practice our salsa moves.
Oh, honey, I don't want to dance.
- Oh, I'm aware.
- Um hello.
I'm Quinn.
From engineering. You never
MARIA: Engineering?
Why is someone from engineering here?
Okay.
So, Gib is a little busy
with Director Trilby,
and there is an unfolding situation.
We should start with the briefing video.
Aha.
She gets the remote?
COMPUTER: At approximately 0940
hours Eastern Standard Time,
Washington defense contractor
Axe Industries was attacked,
with all 130 employees
taken hostage within the building.
It's time the merchants
of death at Axe Industries
paid for the pain their weapons create.
We demand reparations for their victims
and the victims' families.
$100 million.
COMPUTER: The leader has been ID'd
as Lieutenant Victor Madsen,
former Delta Force.
Dishonorable discharge, 2016.
He has indicated he
will kill all hostages
if his demands are not met in six hours.
Mission:
Infiltrate.
Neutralize threat.
Rescue hostages.
So that's happening, and
I still don't understand
why Gib isn't here
and someone from
engineering is doing the briefing.
Right.
Well, it's kind of
a funny story, actually.
Nope, it's not a funny
story. Sorry I lied.
Axe Industries builds
some of Omega's tech.
Oh, uh, like the, um, the laser cutter.
- That thing's great.
- No.
Uh, I mean, yes, it is great.
But, no, I built that.
- You did?
- Yeah. Axe does more weapony stuff.
- Right.
- Yeah, um
[SIGHS] Anyhoo, since Axe
Industries was founded by Gib's father,
and he designed the buildings himself
I'm sorry, time-out.
Did you say Gib's father?
- Gib has a father?
- Does he know about Omega?
Does he know that Gib
is a part of Omega?
Yes?
I'm sorry, I just assumed
that everyone knew.
'Cause y'all are on the same team.
But I guess I can see clearly
that you didn't know.
So, Gib does not like the idea
of his father coming to help.
And he and Director Trilby
were having a loud discussion.
All right, maybe I
should go talk to him.
HELEN: Yeah, yeah.
MARIA: Yeah, how long
have you worked here?
- QUINN: About seven years.
- Oh.
- LUTHER: Wow.
- Yeah.
I feel bad.
Not a chance. I won't do it.
No, no. This is gonna be a disaster,
okay? You understand? There-there
has to be another way, Harry.
Okay, can we just
[EXHALES] take a breath,
slow down for a second?
- How did I not know about your dad?
- Because we don't speak, okay?
You understand? And then,
when we do speak, whoo,
no, it doesn't go well.
You talked like he was dead.
And then I find out that
he used to work with Omega?
Yeah, he had Omega level clearance
because he built stuff for
us through his company. Okay?
So, yeah, Harry, I'm the one guy here
who has a family member
that knows that he's here.
Does that make you happy?
Yes, it makes me happy,
and I think it would make him happy.
You would think! But
all he wanted was for me
to take over his
company after he retired.
And then, when I joined
Omega, ooh-hoo-hoo, whoa,
Al went ballistic.
Okay, Gib
- Wait a minute, you call your dad Al?
- Well, that's his name.
Look, the point is,
he just wants a miniature
version of himself, okay?
And I was not about to be Mini-Me'd.
HARRY: Gib, I hear you,
but there are a lot of
hostages in that building
that the FBI can't find a way in.
You just don't get how he is, Harry.
You got to see it for yourself.
You just don't get it.
Gib, I think I can help.
I was eavesdropping.
This is about communication.
I'm a linguistics professor.
I speak a lot of languages.
If I can speak pidgin Russian,
I'm pretty sure I can speak father-son.
[LAUGHS]
Hey, I think it's
worth giving it a shot.
Plus, this is a direct
order from the chief.
Gib?
It's gonna be fine. Dads love me.
I don't think this is a good idea.
Maybe if you just let us tell you
a little more about the situation
Young lady, I don't believe
I was speaking to you.
All I know is, my son,
who couldn't be bothered
to so much as call in a decade,
shows up at my doorstep wanting my help.
Wasn't my idea, Al.
I believe that.
HARRY: Mr. Gibson, if I may,
we have nowhere else to turn.
There are 130 hostages
trapped inside Axe Industries.
Axe Industries?
Are you serious?
$100 million.
AL: This shouldn't even be possible.
That idiot who runs the place now,
- he do something stupid?
- We don't know how it happened,
but what we do know is
we need to get in there.
The only people besides
you who know the building
well enough to help
are inside as hostages.
Wouldn't be in this situation
if Junior here had taken over.
- Instead of becoming a government worker.
- Okay, here we go.
Omega isn't exactly the post office, Al.
And the post office isn't here
asking me for help with the mail.
Okay, setting that
aside for just a moment,
can you get us in?
Omega logistics looked at the designs
and didn't see a way to penetrate.
- I can get us in.
- Oh.
I mean, I designed the
damn building, didn't I?
Yes. It's that easy?
Easy? No.
A maze of utility tunnels
leads to the basement level,
which gives us access to
the rest of the building,
which they probably don't know.
Now, I've spent a lot
of time down there.
Do you think we can make it through?
[STAMMERS]
Not without me.
GIB: All right, so I guess
that, over my objection,
we're going to do this, which
I still think is a bad idea.
But apparently this is the mission.
Okay, let's go over the
basics of the situation.
Because Axe works on
top secret projects,
and it's in the middle of nowhere,
we've got the press locked down,
but it won't stay that way long.
Top-level FBI knows that we're here.
I asked them to settle this thing
peacefully while we infiltrate.
AL: The utility tunnels lead to the
basement. The central workspace
is one level up.
That's where the hostages will be.
Now, if you can get there,
- then you can neutralize
- [COUGHS LOUDLY]
- any guards that
- Not your part of the mission, Al.
- Once we infiltrate
- So you really don't want me to help, do you?
- I need help on the tunnels.
- As I thought
Okay? I can run the team.
Okay, let's just take a breath.
Everybody has something to offer.
You have tactics and you have tunnels.
Very exciting. Kind of like
the chocolate and peanut butter
of hostage rescue.
The team will neutralize any
guards and free the hostages.
That's exactly what I was going to say.
[INDISTINCT RADIO TRANSMISSION]
[SIREN WAILING]
[TIRES SCREECH]
[OVERLAPPING CHATTER]
Are you seriously in portrait?
Landscape, please.
I just got word.
Madsen's team has been setting up.
Axe weapons systems on the roof.
They're sending over
another video message here.
We have received the
FBI's generous offer
of pizza for the hostages
and the opportunity to surrender.
This is our counteroffer.
HARRY: Gib, we need
to get in there. Now.
[EXHALES]
Oh, look around ♪
Something's goin' down ♪
Boom, boom, boom, boom ♪
Boom, boom, boom, boom. ♪
Okay, before we go down there,
we need to do an engineering review.
- Engineering review? What?
- So everyone knows what's down there.
I can do a quick diagram.
Do you understand what
we're doing here, Al?
There is a hostage situation.
Nobody has time
Doing things right is always
quicker than doing them twice.
You think you can keep them
from killing each other?
I'll do my best. Also, just curious,
is sneaking into a hostage situation
through a maze of deadly utility tunnels
really better than letting
me help you learn salsa?
Honestly?
About a 60-40 in favor
of the hostage crisis.
Okay, even so, be careful.
This is not you lecturing me
on doing my calculus homework
when I was nine years old.
Why did you bring me here
if you're not going to listen
- to a damn word I say?
- [GROWLS]
- AL: I-I don't I don't understand it.
- Okay, everybody calm down.
Let's just discuss this.
[HELEN SIGHS]
LUTHER: Hey, you okay?
I'm fine.
So, that's your "I'm fine" shudder?
I just know you can get
claustrophobic sometimes.
What are you talking about?
You told me in the hotel in Perth,
when we were dating.
And you're using it against me?
How is that against you?
I told you that in a moment of
a private moment.
When things were different.
I'm just saying, if you're
afraid of small, dark spaces
I am not afraid of small, dark spaces.
I love small, dark spaces.
I'm very happy right now.
HARRY: Hey, Gib,
we got a tunnel going left and right.
Which way do we go?
I'm just saying, if we'd
done an engineering review
Al, I'm trying to direct the team, okay?
Guys, please. What?
All right, let's just
get through this, okay?
Where are they going, and
what are they watching for?
Sorry, Harry. Uh, you're gonna
make a right, then a quick left.
There's a power line
right next to a gas line.
Don't touch the wire.
Thank you.
Guys? Gib? Al?
Just remember we have a
building full of hostages
that are depending on us, so
Yeah, let's get along, okay?
That's what I've been
telling them, Harry.
DOBKIN: We don't have that kind of time.
You're not listening to me. Please,
just talk to the board of directors.
What do we got?
Um, the FBI negotiator
says it's impossible.
$100 million is too much.
- Aah!
- [HOSTAGES SCREAM]
I suggest you try harder.
Hello? Yes, it's me!
We need to figure something out here.
Keep him talking.
And if he gives up?
Kill him, put one of
the others suits on it.
We need to keep the
Feds talking long enough
for us to finish our real business here.
I'm going downstairs.
Okay.
Now, in about 50 feet,
you're gonna take the
passage on your right.
Ah.
Look, if they travel south,
along this east wall, they'll get there.
All right. All right,
you're gonna want to continue
till you see a fire ladder
leading to an overhead grate.
Should be across from a door.
- Yeah, found it.
- Great.
Okay, good. Now, you're gonna want to go
up that ladder and through the grate.
The two pipes leading up are just
Two pipes? I see three.
I thought you said you know
everything there is to
know about these tunnels.
I do. There shouldn't be a third.
We need to follow it back
to see where it came from.
Follow it back? We
don't have time for that.
Okay, what if we slow
down and work together
Talk to Junior here.
Why did he bring me here
- if he's not gonna listen?
- All right, that's it. I'm not listening
because we got a job to do,
and you want to follow pipes.
Hey, are you sure you're okay?
What? Yeah, I'm fine.
Come on. Seriously?
I can't even offer
comfort to a colleague?
Your colleague is fine.
I don't see you patting
Harry on the shoulder.
That's different. Harry's Harry.
It's important. As an engineer,
- you got to find the source.
- Okay, the engineer talk.
You had a full scholarship to MIT.
Perhaps, if you had accepted it,
- you'd understand
- Oh, I understand.
I understand. I understand
that you were not gonna be satisfied
unless I did every little thing
you wanted me to, Al.
Helen, what's going on? Should we go up?
I'm trying to find out.
Is that the passageway or is it not?
Yes, it is, but something's changed.
What choice do we have?
They didn't build another tunnel.
Obviously not, but if they
put something new here,
they did it for a reason.
And they did it secretly
because there's nothing
here in the building codes.
We're not talking about
the building codes, okay?
- And we're not turning them around.
- All right, we need to move here.
Let me see that laser cutter.
LUTHER: Harry, the whole
thing's coming down.
[YELLS]
Harry, hurry!
- Go, go, go, go, go!
- What's happening?
It's Harry. Some kind of
gas pipe broke. It got in his eyes.
GIB: What was that?
Was that an explosion?
MARIA: Yes, that was an explosion.
HELEN: What's exploding?
Is Harry okay?
LUTHER: I'm checking. Hang on.
GIB: Luther, talk to me,
buddy. Is he burned?
- How's his breathing?
- I-I don't see any burns.
- [GROANS]
- Harry, sweetheart, talk to me.
Are you all right? Are you okay?
Helen
I can't see.
HELEN: Harry, what do
you mean, you can't see?
You see? You see what happens?
- I was trying to tell you.
- Okay, just let me talk to him.
Stop, let me talk to him. Harry.
Helen, it's gonna be okay.
It's not gonna be okay
unless you're okay.
[EXPLOSION]
GIB: What was that? Are you guys okay?
Luther, Maria, report
back, please. Status.
We're okay. The door's holding.
For now.
- [GROANS]
- How's that?
Feels like you're trying to
put a fire out with molten lava.
[GROANS] Okay, stop, stop,
stop, stop. It's better.
- Yeah?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Harry, wait.
- It's getting better. It's clearing up.
Harry? Just no.
Let's sit down for a sec, please.
Right there. Right there.
Hi, guys? Any word on
what was in that pipe?
'Cause it does not seem good.
Patching you through
to engineering. Hold on.
Go for engineering.
QUINN: Hello? Can you hear me?
LUTHER: We're here. Talk to us.
We're analyzing some possibilities now.
Can you give me a color or a smell?
It was white.
Harry, what did it smell like?
Limes, sort of?
Okay, sounds like an alkali precursor
for some sort of industrial process.
Good news is, the blindness
is probably temporary.
Bad news is, the smoke, it
What about the smoke?
It's toxic. Just, like, bad toxic.
Is there a good "toxic"?
Uh, Gib, where do we go now?
I'm working on that right now.
AL: Luther, Maria,
go down the hall 200 feet.
All right, big guy.
Oh, you're patting me now?
What? It's just a shoulder pat.
It's a comforting gesture.
[LUTHER AND MARIA MOUTHING]
Are you guys mouthing about me?
- No. What? No.
- What? No. What are you talking about?
Can they continue down that hall,
or are we gonna lead them
into another toxic explosion?
That was not my fault. I'm
the one who was trying to
figure out what the damn pipe was.
Maybe if you hadn't
been in such a hurry,
then we might have
figured this out by now.
I'm in a hurry because
there's a hostage situation
- going on, Al. Keep up.
- Okay, stop it! Stop it.
Stop it. Both of you, stop it.
Al, you were right.
We needed to know what was in the pipes.
Gib, you were also right.
We're in a hurry.
But the fact is, you guys
are spending so much time
trying to be right that you're
not listening to each other,
and now Harry can't see.
[TYPING]
I'll get into the
security system at Axe,
make sure the bad guys don't
find out about this tunnel fire.
Thank you.
- What do you think they put down there?
- AL: I don't know.
But with that much toxic chemical
being piped into the basement?
It's nothing good.
What's the status up there?
Had a fire alarm go off,
but it shut down now.
Keep an eye on that. Anything else?
Well, the FBI stopped negotiating.
Said our demands weren't serious.
We can't let them send in a team
while we're breaking into the lab.
Fire a missile.
That doesn't get 'em talking again,
kill a hostage.
[SCREAMING]
Gib, what is going on up there?
GIB: They're lobbing
missiles at the FBI.
We got lucky that time. No one was hurt.
Look, guys, we got to get a move on
if we want to keep
this thing under wraps.
Things are getting hairy out there.
LUTHER: Yeah, well, they're
getting pretty hairy down here, too.
- How we coming on a way out?
- Not great.
Gib, I got some kind of
a fire door down here,
but we can't get through.
I see it. You can't open it?
No, not from this side.
I got a couple of shape charges,
but the only cover in
here is in the fire.
- There's no way out.
- Not on the blueprints, Junior.
The tunnels down there run in parallel,
connected by ducts.
If we can get someone to
crawl through this tunnel,
they can crawl through the duct,
double back, and open that door.
All right. How big is this crawl space?
Two and a half foot square, maybe,
and can hold only 150 pounds at most.
Great. Well, that leaves me.
You're more than 150 pounds
and so are you. We don't
have another choice.
Okay. Okay, Helen. Okay.
Now, we don't know what
other hazards and dangers
might be down there, okay?
Be careful. Uh, there's toxic smoke.
Exactly. Which means they could all die.
And I'm not gonna let that happen.
GIB: All right, Helen, you in?
Yeah, I'm in.
Okay, you're gonna go down
that tunnel another 100 feet.
Ugh! Okay, all right.
Oh! It's spooky in here.
Okay, I need you guys to talk to me.
Talk to you?
Yeah, talk to me. Keep me company.
Tell me about the two of you.
Uh, I don't think that's a good idea.
Oh, I think it is. Just consider me
your not-taking-no-for-an-answer
personal mediator. And go.
Helen, we can't do family therapy
in the middle of a mission, okay?
Gib, just talk, okay?
It can't have always been like this.
Just, when's the last time
the two of you got along?
When I was a kid.
Uh, after my mom died.
You know, making Legos, stuff like that.
Okay, Al, do you remember that?
Yeah.
And how did that make you feel?
How do you think it made me feel?
Things were rough after Rhonda passed.
But
we were making it.
Though, uh
things changed
after middle school, though.
He wouldn't call me Dad anymore.
Started calling me Al.
That's just because you
only called me Junior.
You did not want a son,
you wanted a younger version of you.
Okay, this is just a
conversation, you guys.
Everyone's gonna be seen
and heard, all right?
And which way do I turn at the fork?
- Left.
- Watch the power lines.
Yes. Don't die, don't die, don't die.
GIB: Okay, Helen, coming up
on your right is another hallway.
As soon as you make
that right-hand turn,
you're gonna have to
cross over a set of pipes.
Okay, I'm going over the pipes.
All right, the utility duct
that connects the tunnels
is gonna be up ahead on your right.
- All right, let's go deeper.
- Wait, it goes down?
- It shouldn't.
- Oh, I'm so sorry, I don't mean deeper
in the tunnels, I mean
deeper in the conversation.
Let's talk about your mom.
You recognize that you're not
actually a therapist, right?
Oh, believe me, if there was
a therapist in the van, I
would gladly let him take over.
All I know is, after she passed,
all I wanted was to
be a father to the boy.
Be a father. Yeah, okay, all right.
You were gone.
Work's the only thing you
ever really cared about.
Is that what you thought?
Who do you think I
built Axe Industries for?
I built Axe, every weapon,
every gizmo to protect you.
To hand something off to you
that no one could take away.
And then you ran off to join Omega.
Axe and Omega work together.
I joined because I thought
you'd be proud of me for once.
I was always proud of you.
The proudest moment of my life
was when your mama said to me
that she trusted me to raise you.
And then you sign up to get
yourself shot at or blown up,
when all I did was promise her
that I would keep you safe.
Okay, and that sounds like
progress, but to be continued.
- I'm at the duct.
- Right. Right.
Uh, pull off the grate.
[EXPLOSION]
AL: You should see a power
cable running above you.
Yeah, I see two.
There's a big one
It's buzzing and it's hot.
Oh, goody. Another surprise.
Helen, hey, just try
not to touch it, okay?
Last time we found
something new, it exploded.
Okay, too late for that.
That duct's gonna lead over
to a tunnel where the team's at.
Okay.
[MUTTERS]
Extra pipe, extra cable.
Look, I I don't like this.
It sounds like Axe has built
something new in the basement,
something they didn't
want anyone to know about.
- What's the ETA on Helen?
- [COUGHING]
It's getting pretty
uncomfortable in here.
I hear you, buddy, just
hang on. Any minute now.
HELEN: Guys, I'm here. Let's go.
GIB: Luther, what was that?
- [COUGHING]
- HELEN: This way.
- Guys.
- Helen's here, Gib, we're good.
Helen!
Yeah, I'm fine. It's okay.
Yeah, but you can't see.
Well, yeah, I can't,
but other than that
Okay, guys, you got to keep moving.
- Where to?
- A hundred feet up. Take a right.
Then, on the left will be a staircase
leading down to the lower level of Axe.
Okay, let's go.
Okay, okay.
- Hey, this way.
- Helen, I can do this myself.
Harry, you have to let me help you.
This is about keeping you alive, okay?
I would very much like a live husband.
Okay. Okay.
I need to talk to you.
Listen, I-I know we both
got a lot to process,
- but the mission is
- It's about the mission.
[KEYBOARD CLACKS, COMM CHIMES]
Once we get into the basement,
we got to find out what's
going on down there.
We're here for the hostages.
You really think those
maniacs took hostages
because they believe in helping people?
No. No, I don't.
Axe built something
bad in that basement,
and now this happens?
I don't believe in coincidences.
Now, I know, I-I know
we've had our issues.
But I'm asking you, please.
[KEYBOARD CLACKS, COMM CHIMES]
All right, y'all, listen up.
Looks like there may
be something going on
in the basement that
we don't know about.
We need to check it out
before you head upstairs.
You sure?
I-I have an engineer
here that's telling me
we need to check out the basement, okay?
And I am inclined to trust him.
So make it quick and
keep your eyes open.
Keep my eyes open? Thanks a lot, Gib.
My bad, Harry, that's just a
figure of speech. I didn't mean
you know. You can usually see.
Maria, Luther, what are you guys seeing?
They're bringing a hostage down.
LUTHER: Gib, all the bad guys are here.
- All of 'em?
- Yeah.
And there's no way we
can take out that many
with just the three of us
and Harry out of commission.
Luther, what are they doing?
There's some sort of
secret lab down here.
It looks like they broke in.
It looks like the engineer was right.
They're doing something
with the hostage.
Please, I'll get the money. All right?
- Let's just go back upstairs.
- No need.
You already did your job.
Kept the FBI spinning its wheels.
I just need one more thing from you.
Open those pretty eyes of yours.
- HARRY: Helen, what's happening?
- HELEN: There's bad guys, and they have
vials and canisters of
some sort of yellow liquid.
AL: Nerve gas.
The hidden lab, the-the
gas in the pipe, the extra power.
It's the only thing that makes sense.
But why would they be making nerve gas?
Profit.
After I left,
Axe became all about the money.
They started making
anything they could sell,
- and they would sell to anyone.
- Cheers.
You're making a big mistake.
This-this is just a failed experiment.
- Failed? Really?
- Mm.
No! No! Help.
[BANGING ON GLASS] Please, no.
Please, please let me out.
I'll get you your money.
[GAGGING]
I'd call it quite a success.
Let's load it up. Once we get upstairs,
we gas the hostages,
we gas the Feds. We kill 'em all.
Buyer's chopper pulls us
out, and we get paid, boys.
Guys, we got to get in there now.
Even if we save the hostages,
we'll all be dead as soon as they get
that nerve gas upstairs.
Okay, well, what are we supposed to do?
We can't start shooting in there,
or we'll nerve gas the whole building.
- Well, we can't just stay here.
- Trying to figure something out, guys.
Junior, you have to know
this is not the same.
Axe Industries that I built.
I know we've got our
issues, Al, but you're not
- a nerve gas kind of guy.
- I mean, but my life's work,
all crumbling.
It's not gonna crumble.
Not if I got anything to say about it.
LUTHER: Guys, looks
like they're on the move.
- [FRUSTRATED SIGH]
- HELEN: What's wrong?
These people might die, and
I can't do anything about it
- because I can't see.
- Just wait, what if
what if no one can see?
- What? What are you talking about?
- Yeah, that doesn't sound great.
Just, wait, listen.
What we can't shoot in there, right?
But neither can they.
So what if we cut the power
and then fight them hand to hand?
[SCOFFS] How many guys are in there?
I think six or something,
plus the main guy.
And I have my night-vision goggles,
- so I can help you.
- Helen
Remember when I said that
letting people help you
- makes new things possible?
- Yeah, that was about salsa dancing.
It's about fighting people in the dark
with nerve gas, too, Harry.
All right. All right, Gib,
looks like Helen's gonna help me out.
Okay. Okay, I like it. I like it.
How do we kill power in there?
The same crawl space
that Helen went through.
- That's the power main.
- Got it.
Luther, you still have those
explosive charges, correct?
- Right here.
- Great.
Okay, take Maria. Head
back down that hall. Go.
Okay, the panel's gonna
be up on your left.
On your left, Luther.
You're gonna need to boost Maria up.
Wait, wait, wait. Me?
The space is only two
and a half feet wide
and has 150-pound capacity.
Luther's too heavy.
That's our only move.
Wait, right, because it's only
a couple of feet wide. That's
- [STAMMERS]: Because
- [QUIETLY]: Turn it off.
[COMMS CHIME]
Listen, you saw Harry
and Helen back there
helping each other?
You got to let me help you
through this claustrophobia thing.
- It's different. They're married.
- Yes.
But they're also operatives on a team,
just like you and me.
Let me help you through this,
and I will never bring it up again.
You promise?
I promise.
All right.
You got this.
[GRUNTING]
Okay, okay, okay.
[SHUDDERS]
LUTHER: You got this. You got
this. I'm not going anywhere.
I'm right here.
- I can't breathe.
- So, what you want to do is you want to
It's adhesive, so you're just
gonna stick it to the wires.
I'm sorry, are you mansplaining
to me how to set this?
Are you thinking about
your claustrophobia?
I'm thinking about the fact
that you're mansplaining
and my claustrophobia,
and I hate both of those things, okay?
Maybe that'll make you do it faster,
and then we can get out of here.
Okay, very funny.
- Love your jokes, Luther.
- You're doing great.
How to set a detonator. Watch out.
[PANTING]
- That was great.
- Okay.
- Ready?
- Yeah.
- [DEVICE BEEPS]
- Go!
- [STATIC BUZZING]
- Power's down. Go now.
Hey, what happened to the lights?
HELEN: The guy in front of
you choke him, choke him.
Get ready for a new ride ♪
It's about to get wild ♪
Banging on the drum ♪
Go bananas like I'm O Prime ♪
Punch to your left.
[GRUNTING]
I meant my left, your
right. I'm so sorry.
Two steps, swerve and kick.
- In front of you.
- Gonna get it started ♪
Gonna make 'em say hey ♪
Gonna get it started ♪
Gonna make 'em say oh ♪
- [HELEN SHOUTS]
- Gonna get it started ♪
- Harry!
- Gonna make 'em say ♪
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay. ♪
Is that all of 'em?
Yes. The main guy, he went out the door.
Gib, we can't get any
more with Harry like this.
Yeah, Gib, we took out his guys.
He won't make it back to the hostages,
but he will try to escape.
The closest emergency
exits are east and south,
if you're still in the security system.
Then I can see where
he's heading. On it.
- He's heading toward the east side door.
- Head back up the way we came.
Okay, Dad. Just tell me where I'm going.
Did you just call me Dad?
Yeah.
Yeah, I guess I did.
- Buckle up.
- [ENGINE STARTS]
Freeze! Freeze! Drop your weapon.
Drop your weapon.
That's my son.
You best listen.
What? Come on.
Look to the right.
Now to the left.
What can you see?
The light. And your face a little.
Okay, progress already. Look at that.
Now, you'll want to
rest your eyes for a few days.
Eye drops will help if
you feel any discomfort.
So he's fine? No hospitalization?
- He can go home?
- He'll be fine in a day or two.
- Ugh.
- GIB: Hey, your official cover story
is that you sprayed yourself
with computer screen
cleaner on a sales visit.
- [HELEN CHUCKLES]
- HARRY: Oh, come on, Gib.
- [LAUGHS]
- Can I get a more humiliating cover story?
Sorry, buddy.
We all have to sacrifice for this cause.
[LAUGHTER]
Helen, you good to get him home?
- Yeah, I'm gonna give him a piggyback ride.
- Oh.
- I'll give you a hand.
- Okay. All right. One more person.
[OVERLAPPING CHATTER]
AL: Hey, Junior.
Quinn here's been showing
me the engineering department.
And he has a lot of good ideas.
- Wow.
- AL: Also, you know,
you guys have been doing a lot
of stuff kind of ass-backwards.
GIB: Well, that might have to wait
'cause, uh, operations
wants to talk to you
about cleaning up the mess at Axe.
Oh, sounds good. Uh, but, also, uh
word is, you've got a
girlfriend in the building?
Well I mean
- I don't know about that, but
- Well
all these years, and I've never
yet met a girlfriend of yours.
[STAMMERS] But that's on me.
If you don't want me to
meet her, I understand.
- Come on.
- Her name's Eva.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, we-we
could go say hey to her.
I guess that's not gonna hurt anybody.
- Hmm.
- Just right over here.
I'd like that, Gib.
You just call me Gib?
Well, yeah.
- I guess I did.
- Oh.
Oh.
Hey.
- Hi.
- Glad I'm running into you.
You said you liked the laser cutters?
[CHUCKLES]: Yeah, yeah.
I have the new version,
if you'd want to see it.
Yeah, you can show
me that kind of stuff?
- [WHISPERING]: Sorry.
- [CHUCKLES]
- Show me.
- Yes.
- How was your day?
- Uh, more fire than I would have liked.
-
- HELEN: Come on.
Here you go. All right. Living room.
- Mm-hmm.
- Mm-hmm. Kitchen.
Slowly. [CHUCKLES]
- No, I got it.
- Okay.
Yeah. You see?
I'm already getting better.
- [GROANS]
- Okay, good.
Oh, no, no, no, before
you sit down, hold on.
I just want to try one
thing while I have you.
- [SALSA MUSIC PLAYING]
- What? Oh, come on.
Helen, please. You're gonna
do this to a blind man?
I'm absolutely doing
this to a blind man.
- Are we
- [LAUGHS]
Come on, just follow my lead.
- Okay.
- Okay.
All right. Let me help
you. Hold on. Ready?
- And one.
- Mm-hmm. Yeah.
- [LAUGHING]
- Hey.
I'm getting it. Am I getting it?
You are. I think blind Harry
has more rhythm than regular Harry.
- Yeah.
- I'm gonna have to get more of that gas.
- No.
- Mm-hmm. [SHRIEKS]
