Cabe GalloAlright kids, if you need to hit the head, now's the time, because we're not stopping once we hit the road.
You know you're not our dad, right?
Cabe GalloStop acting like kids, I'll stop acting like your dad.
Multiple phones suddenly start ringing.
Cabe GalloThat would be NASA, NORAD, the UN, and NATO, all wanting to know about the unplanned missile launch.
Let the machine get it.
Oh, that's a wrinkle.
Cabe Gallo[listening on comms] What did he say?
"That's a wrinkle"?
What's a wrinkle?
Walter's parachute lands on the ground next to Cabe, Happy, and Toby.
Cabe GalloOh, that's a wrinkle.
Not good.
Cabe, I don't see any parachutes! You knew we were gonna jump and you didn't tell me?
Cabe GalloWell, if I did you wouldn't have come.
...
Cabe GalloHave I ever put you in an unsafe situation?
All the time!
Cabe GalloThen you should be used to it.
Cabe GalloThere's a good chance Zoric is gonna be armed; you ready for this?
No.
Cabe GalloAlright, then I'll go first.
Guys, remember, Ernesto might by deaf, but Zoric is not. You need to be completely silent, or else he'll know someone's in there with him.
Good point, Professor Obvious. Walter, also remember: We're in Cuba, and the Earth is round.
Cabe GalloWho's Jackson Wyles?
Nobody.
Cabe GalloThere's two identical math sheets, one with your name on it, one with his.
Ralph, why are you doing someone's homework for them?
To avoid injury.
That's a good reason
Cabe GalloSon, you can't let yourself get bullied. You gotta stand up for yourself. You know how to fight?
He's not fighting.
Cabe GalloThat's the problem--he should be. Knock Jackson Wyles on his ass.
Nothing stops a punk faster than a shot right to the snout.
Thanks for the advice, but no.
Cabe GalloI got an idea.
Ralph, don't worry. I'm gonna set up a meeting with your principal and this Jackson Wyles' parents.
Involving the bully's parents might be poking the bear. Ralph, how fast can you run?
He's not going to run away. He's going to face his problems.
His problem is probably twice his size and skilled at wedgies and rear admirals.
And the dreaded covered wagon.
Maybe he shouldn't be wearing underwear.
What?! I appreciate everyone's concern, but none of you are his mom.
I can handle this.
You can handle what? Everything OK, Ralph?
Some kid's making Ralph do his homework for him.
Good, that is the perfect reason for Ralph to leave that school. He is smarter than everyone there, including the teachers. The guys and I will homeschool him from here.
Worst idea yet.
I think Toby's right. He's always right, or my name isn't Paige Dineen.
Tweaked Walt's voice-adaptation software. It'll record the basic tone of anyone's voice, then it perfectly mimics whatever you type in.... And it is clearly not the time to unveil it.
Thank God, this conversation's over. Sweetheart, I want you to avoid that boy today, and I'm gonna call Principal Pastorneck.
Don't, I can handle this. Just give me one day?
Ok. Love you.
Stay strong.
Cabe GalloHey, where you goin' kid? I just got the heavy bag up!
I gotta go; you can teach me to hit people later.
Cabe is teaching Toby how to box.
The PSI on those jabs is averaging 129. On a power scale that's...
Cabe GalloKitten. Sad kitten.
Because this is a black operation, my information is need-to-know. Walter O'Brien, Cabe Gallo, Happy Quinn, join me in my SUV.
Hmm. Are you heading north or south? Ooh, eye flutter on south. Huntington? Long Beach? San Pedro? San Pedro it is. Meaning water. The ports.
A frigate!
Can we leave now?
You can only take three of the team, so space is an issue. A submarine? It's a submarine, isn't it? Anyway, Homeland needs Scorpion's help for a black ops nuclear submarine mission deep in international waters off the coast of California? Yep!
Toby and Sylvester bump fists.
They'll be needing me to code? I'll get my laptop.
And I will be building something, so I'll get my tools.
And I will get my party hat because I don't have to go on a submarine.
Cabe GalloAnd I'll be going to keep anyone from wanting to kill them.
Cabe GalloI'll go with. The guys holding the warhead might have men patrolling the base looking for anyone that might disrupt their $20 million deal.
I thought you had to leave your weapon at home because of customs. What can you do without a gun?
Cabe pinches Toby's shoulder and Toby collapses in pain.
Ahh! He can do that.
The team, except Sylvester, has to dress as characters from the Super Fun Guy comics as a disguise.
I'm startin' to think we should just let 'em have the nuke....With great responsibility comes great wedgie.
Cabe GalloThis is just wrong.
...
Don't say anything.
Just friends.
I don't know how the actors move in these things.
I want Homeland to double our fee. I feel absurd. I don't like feeling absurd.
You see that? She was just busy
Cabe GalloFirst stage of grief: Denial.
Grief over what?
The fact that your attempted romance with Happy is dead.
OK, no offense, but I'm not about to give weight to the psychiatric musings of a guy who uses a superhero lunch box and someone who still watches Bonanza.
Cabe GalloSecond stage of grief: Anger.
How far away is that train?
Its current path has it just a few minutes from you, heading towards the Olympic and Westwood stop. Why?
'Cause I'm getting on board.
Suicidal genius says what now?
...
Cabe GalloHow the hell are you going to get on a train going 90 miles an hour?
I presume with great caution!
I would give anything for Happy to care enough to slap me.
Cabe GalloBargaining. Third stage of grief.
It's just so disheartening.
Cabe GalloAnd there's depression. I counted the gold coins; one of 'em's missing.
Oh, I'm not a thief, I just wanted to play Proton Arnold with a $2 million quarter.
I'm not lookin' for trouble I just need to see Happy...happy with Chet, and I then I'm at the fifth stage of grief.
Cabe GalloAcceptance.
And then I can move on.
Cabe GalloIdentify yourself!
Mark Willis, Central Intelligence.
CIA. Explains how he came in like a cloud. A dark cloud.
Homeland's agreed to lend out Scorpion's services to my unit.
Oh, lucky us!
For a significant payday.
We're listening.
