The Warthog faces the Reds and Doc.

Simmons: Okay, I get it. You built a remote control for the jeep into Lopez.

Thea: Why would you do that?!

Sarge: Yep. But there's no way anyone could have found out how to turn it on. I hid it in a place no one would ever look. Unless... (turns to Donut) Hey, Pretty-in-Pink, were you messin' with my robot?

Donut: What're you asking me for?

Grif: So someone else controls the jeep right now? And the big gun attached to it?

Thea: (Scared) I guess so.

Sarge: Oh, get a pair, you bunch o' Barbies. Even if they've figured out how to turn it on, they'd never know the set of code words to control it. Only me and my diary know that.

Thea: I think you just jinxed us sir!

Cut to Church, Tucker, and Caboose standing on top of Blue Base, a beeping noise is heard very faintly in the background.

Church: There, you hear that?

Tucker: Is it like a screaming, high pitched whistling noise followed by a series of random clicks?

Church: No, it's just like this constant "beep beep beep" noise.

Tucker: Oh. Then no, I don't hear anything.

Church: Do you eh, wait - do you actually hear a series of whistling noises followed by some random clicks?

Tucker: No, I was just tryin' to be helpful.

Church: Yeah, well, you're failing.

Caboose: All I hear is that voice, you know, telling us to kill all of our friends before they have a chance to kill us.

Church and Tucker: ...

Caboose: Wait, you guys don't hear that?

Church: Oh man, I can't take this any more. Tucker, you're gonna have to do something, man, this beeping is going to drive me crazy.

Camera zooms to the Warthog with Church's words "going to drive me crazy.. drive me crazy.." echoing in the background.

Warthog: (emits a series of beeps like the beginning of a dial-up connection) Drive.

Sarge: Jumpin' Jehozafats, they've cracked the code. Those dern windtalkers.

Thea: The code word was drive!

The Warthog drives straight at Doc and hits him. He lands in the driver's seat as it continues driving away with him

Donut: Hey, he's taking the jeep!

Doc: Help, this jeep is kidnapping me!

Donut: Now he's taunting us. This is just embarrassing.

Thea: I think when the jeep ran towards him, it knocked him into the seat.

Donut: That's stupid.

Simmons: Hey, Sarge, new rule. (camera shows the Reds watching the Warthog drive off into the middle of the canyon) How 'bout we just don't take any more prisoners, since we seem to suck at it.

Thea: I would like to add my own rule as well.

Simmons: And what's that?

Thea: We need better code words!

Cut to the Blues. Caboose is kneeling in front of Church. The beeping is still present.

Caboose: I see a switch down here. (whispers loudly) It's not very big.

Tucker: Oh yeah, that's it. Just flip it.

Church: Wait, stop.

Warthog: (in background, in the middle of the canyon, emits its series of beeps) Stop. (stops moving)

Church: Caboose... do you know how to work a switch?

Caboose: Uhhhhhhh...

Church: Alright. Here's a full tutorial then. The switch is pointed in one direction, just turn it around so that it's pointed in the other direction.

Warthog: Turn around. (starts turning around)

Caboose: (a small metallic noise is heard) Oops. (there's the sound of electricity) It broke itself.

Church: Ugh!

Cut to the Warthog as it finishes turning, now facing the Reds.

Doc: Oh man, what now?

Cut to a close up of the Reds.

Grif: That does not look good. Nice kitty, nice kitty. (Donut starts backing up)

Thea: Its not a cat Grif.

Cut to the Blues. Tucker and Caboose are kneeling next to Church.

Tucker: Okay, I see two wires down here. One's green, the other one's red.

Caboose: What about the blue one?

Tucker: That's your thumb, idiot.

Church: Come on, guys, just grab whichever one goes to the switch, and yank it out.

Tucker: Eh, I can't tell which one goes over there.

Church: Then just yank 'em both.

Caboose: (stands up) Church, if we pick the wrong one.. (whispers) You could explode.

Church: I don't care, look, just follow the red one.

Cut to the Warthog.

Warthog: Acquire target: red.

Grif: Uh, Sarge, y-you, you may wanna start running. (Donut, Thea and Simmons back away) Now. (backs away also)

Sarge: Ahhhhh fudge pumps.

Cut to the Blues. Caboose is kneeling again.

Tucker: Okay, I see what's going on here. The red one goes close to the switch, and the green one goes.. eugh, someplace else.

Church: Fine, just pull it. Take out the red one.

Cut to the Warthog ramming Sarge into the wall of Red Base.

Sarge: Oh, I'm pinned!

Warthog: (emits dial-up noise again) Eliminate red target. (the turret gun starts firing and getting progressively closer to Sarge's head)

Grif: You're gonna kill him!

Sarge: What a way to go. Killed by my own mechanical creations. I'm sure there's a philosophical lesson to be learned from all this.

Thea: I'm pretty sure there isn't one sir!

Simmons: Something about the dangers of technology and the unwavering pride of mankind?

Sarge: No, something about hiring better help that doesn't just stand around watching you die!

Thea: I'm coming to help you sir!

Runs towards the chain gun to try to move it while humming a song.

Thea: (Hums 'impossible' by Shontelle )

Simmons: Seriously that song?

Thea: It's a good song!

Grif: And it matches our life.
