subject's contact

with the spores.

- [Scientist #1] Symptoms?

Nosebleed at four hours,

internal hemorrhaging at eight,

Let's test him again

for the immunity gene.

- [Scientist #1] I'll get a

look under the microscope.

- Jack, assume we

have a live one.

Secure that now.

Easy now, you.

Against the wall.

That's it.

Now let's see you slide

down to the floor.

(heavy breathing)

Good.

(inaudible speaking, buzzing)

(sigh)

- Doctor Locke,

headquarters on V-Link-One.

(sighs)

- [Female Computer

Voice] Standby.

- We're aware of the

Level One breach.

- A minor setback.

- This is a potential disaster.

- With all due respect,

the biological process

is as much art as it is science.

- The board doesn't

see it that way.

Majority votes to

kill the project.

- The antiserum is a success.

- It means nothing

without the vaccine.

We're pulling the plug.

- One week.

Give me one week.

I'll deliver.

- One week, Doctor Locke.

Or it all goes.

(ominous music)

(grunts)

- (radio crackle) Renner,

Tonight, we go live.

- Oh god.

My soldier boy is finally home.

I felt like this day

would never come.

- Yeah, you and me both.

(car engine starts and runs)

- You must be exhausted.

- I'm okay.

- You still up for camping?

- Yeah.

- Cause I can have

Rhonda cancel, it's--

- No. No, I'm fine.

- I didn't hear from

you for two months.

- (sighs) Hard to find

the time, you know.

- It was hard for me, too.

I just hope that whatever

happened back there

can stay back there, you know?

- Me too.

- I learned some new moves.

- Yeah?

Like what?

- Oh, don't you worry.

You'll find out soon enough.

- Roger that.

- Surprise!

(cheering)

- Whoo! Welcome home, Dean.

- You really shouldn't have.

- Well, we wanted to do

something special for you,

so please try to enjoy it.

- [Dean] Wow.

- Get over here, get

over here. Come on.

Oh, G. I. Joe returns.

- (laughs) It's good

to see you, Rhonda.

Uh, thank you.

Wow.

- [Rhonda] Let's party.

- [Partygoers] Whoo!

- Is that him? Is it?

- [Dean] It's me.

- Look at you--

- [Dean] Hey.

- you're like muscles

and stuff now.

- [Dean] How are you?

- I missed you, dude.

- [Dean] Yeah, I

missed you, too.

- Poker nights were not

the same without you.

- Oh, yea?

Did you manage to win a few?

- Maybe.

- (laughs) Yeah, Ricky

couldn't win with pocket aces.

- [Ricky] All right, well,

at least I use my money

and not my daddy's.

- Yeah, real clever germo-freak.

- Come on.

Jesus.

- I see nothing has

changed over here.

- Nothing.

- No.

- [Ricky] You need a beer?

- [Dean] Yeah.

- How about you?

- I guess you better

get a new one. (laughs)

- Now a bloody American hero.

- It wasn't like that, man.

- Well, tell us, Mister

Pierce, what was it like?

- Back off Travis.

Welcome home, Dean.

- [Dean] Izzy! (laughs) Hi.

- Hi.

I am so bummed.

I have to take off

but I will be back

for our big trip tomorrow.

- Wait, where are you going?

- I've got work.

(blows kiss) Sorry.

- [Mandy] Bye Izzy.

- [Dean] Bye.

- Bye.

- [Rhonda] Wait,

what's going on?

What are you guys talking about?

(inaudible dialog)

- What are you talking about?

You know what, I don't, okay.

How about we propose a toast

to the man of the hour?

- To the King of Mean.

- To the married couple.

- Here's to Dean.

- Oh! Oh!

- To Dean.

- Cheers.

- And I, at first, I was

going to be like turquoise

but then I saw these.

- Oh, so Rhonda.

- Thank you, I love it.

Has everyone seen

my beautiful nails?

- [Izzy] Yes.

- [Ricky] Blinding me.

(laughs)

- You think you're

Catwoman or something?

- What do you know

about Catwoman?

If I was Catwoman I would

take you out like that.

- And you'd be dead.

- [Dean] Watch out.

- [Travis] All right,

put the claws away.

- Guys, I hate to

be a party-pooper

but I think Dean and

I are pretty tired so,

- [Dean] Tired.

- [Mandy] we're

going to go to bed.

- [Dean] Tired.

(everyone laughs)

- Okay, so I'm just

letting you know.

- [Ricky] All right,

yeah, we know, we know.

- [Mandy] Goodnight.

- [Rhonda] Good

night, lovebirds.

- [Mandy] Thank you

all for coming.

- [Travis] When duty calls.

- [Ricky] If you need an

extra hand, let me know.

- [Rhonda] Don't forget

early tomorrow morning.

Bright and early.

(birds chirping)

- Ah!

(grunts) That's

pretty impressive.

- It is?

- I'm not gonna lie.

- Then thank you.

- Yeah, but you're

gonna regret it.

- (laughs) Oh, am I?

- Yeah.

(grunts)

- Oh!

Oh, wow, muscles. (laughs)

- That's right.

So you're not going

anywhere, got it?

- No.

- (grunts) Ow.

- Ooh.

- [Dean] (sighs)

- Checkmate.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

(both laugh)

- Why don't you start packing?
