General, I understand you're taking quite a risk to yourself and your family by talking to us. We certainly owe you a debt.
No. I am the one with the debt. Spencer saved my life. Twice.
Once. And a half.
ParkerHow do you half-save someone's life?
Because I was the one that was sent to kill him. So I figure that only counts as a half, right?
That actually makes sense.
Now, we've been in this situation before, I pushed you into it.
ParkerYou were drunk. Suuuuper drunk.
Thanks, Parker. I remember that.
Who are you?
ParkerI'm supposed to tell you, 'we'd be the Cavalry'.
Spencer.
Okay, Parker listen; you can climb a mountain, right?
ParkerI climb skyscrapers. You can walk up a mountain.
It's not the same. Are there avalanches on skyscrapers?
ParkerNo, but that would be so cool.
Let's go steal a mountain.
ParkerAgain.
What?
ParkerAgain. We already stole a mountain, two years ago.
We did?
Well, technically it was a resort, not a mountain, but yeah.
You were also very drunk on that one.
I'm just saying, I should go up that mountain with you.
ParkerYou want to climb?
Yeah.
ParkerA mountain?
[Flashback]
(Parker pushes Hardison off a building and he screams the entire way down, stopping upside down. She easily lowers herself next to him and they look at each other)
Seriously?
(another scene of Hardison falling from a building, coming up short upside down. A third scene shows him tangled up in his line)
[Base Camp]
ParkerAnd that last one was a 10-foot drop!
Okay. Fine. I just think I should keep an eye on you.
ParkerKeep an eye on me?
Well, not... you... you and Eliot. It's a dangerous mountain. There could be some polar bears or ill-tempered Eskimos, like...
ParkerThis isn't gonna become a thing, is it?
W-what? No. Pl... no. No. This is… not. Whatever "this" is.
ParkerOh. Yeah.
Okay.
(Hardison holds his arms out for a hug)
ParkerOkay. Okay. (Parker punches him on the shoulder and walks away)
(Eliot hugs Hardison)
All right. (walks away) Let's roll.
What? What are you doing?
At least Eliot gave me a hug.
No, no, no. We can't send another climber on the ridge, no.
You sure about that?
What do you mean?
'Cause I got a footprint. Russian. Spetsnaz.
Parker[Incredulously] Seriously?
It's a very distinctive footprint.
I got to take the rigging off of him. We need the rope.
ParkerNo!
Parker!
ParkerNo! No!
It's done.
ParkerThis is what we're supposed to do! We're supposed to get him back to his wife! Nate would do it, Sophie would do it, Hardison would do it! They would do the right thing! I want to do the right thing!
Hey. It's a good thing it was us.
ParkerBecause we'd leave him.
Because they would've kept trying and they would've froze to death right next to him, especially Hardison. So it was a good thing it was us. The two of us, we do things they can't. Won't.
ParkerDoes that make us bad?
It makes us... us. Now, you can take that as a gift, or you can take it as a curse. And that's up to you.
Hardison!
Ye... Yes! Ye... wait. Parker. Parker? You there?
ParkerTalking... uses... oxygen.
Right. Look, y'all, I just... (wiping eyes) I just want to say that y'all are my peoples, and...
Hardison.
You know, I was so scared.
Hardison, shut up!
ParkerYou realize this isn't going to be normal, right?
You know, my nana used to say that what's normal is whatever works for you. We all work okay.
ParkerI should meet your nana.
Yeah, you should. She's ni... Wait. What? No, I mean, mnh-mnh.
ParkerI've never been to a costume party.
Now that is just heartbreaking.
Nate, we got a problem. This place isn't just off the grid, it's in a whole damn time warp.
ParkerDefinitely 1850s. Before the Civil War.
It's old? That's the problem?
It's prehistoric. It's totally analog, all manual. There's a junction box on every damn floor. There's no computers, nothing to crack, nothing to hack. [Lights flicker off and on] And that is on my last nerve.
Hardison, what's the rule?
Don't bring up a problem unless you got a fix.
Wait, wait. What the hell's going on down there? Nate killed somebody?
No, Nate didn't kill somebody. You didn't, did you?
Of course not.
ParkerYou'd tell us, though. Wouldn't you?
Yes, Parker, I would tell you if I murdered the mark.
Stop! Stop with the Star Trek stuff again!
Wars! Damn it, it's Star Wars. And-and that C.G.I. Yoda they used in the prequels is an insult to the puppet they—Y-you know what, man? It's not even worth discussing.
You're the only one discussing it.
ParkerI kind of like C.G.I. Yoda.
