Fade in to Sarge running towards the Blue Base, followed by Grif and Simmons.

Sarge: "Come on, men! Lopez said Donut went this way!"

Grif: "Are you sure that's what he said? I don't think pendejo was Spanish for "that way."

Cuts to Caboose inside the Blue Base, speaking to Donut. Ash and the girls arriving soon afterwards.

Caboose: "Muffin Man!"

Ash: "Donut?!"

Donut: Caboose...! Ash...! Boy am I glad to see you... I have a message for Church! Wh... where is he?"

Caboose: "Hey, are you okay?"

Alexis: "You don't look or sound so good."

Donut: "Just a little weak. Where's Church?"

Caboose: "Church? Oh, um. He's not here right now."

Donut: "Where is he?"

South: "Long story."

Caboose: "Uh, he's um, he... that's kind of, uh, um... (quickly) it turns out he's really a computer program based on some guy who ran the Freelancer project and he went with Agent Washington, he's a Freelancer who destroyed all the AIs that were left."

Donut doesn't respond.

Caboose: "Well, almost all."

Donut: "... How long was I asleep?"

Caboose: "Not that long."

Donut: (almost out of breath) "Listen... I don't know how long... I can stay awake. I need to give someone, on Blue Team, a message. ... I promised."

Caboose: "We know people on the Blue Team. People on the inside. You can give it to us.

Donut: "Tuck—"

Caboose: "Tuck! You want me to tuck? What do you want me to tuck? Wait, my mother told me to never tuck anything of anyone else's."

Ash: "Caboose. Let him finish."

Donut: (faintly) "Tucker..."

Caboose/Ash: "Tucker?"

Donut: "He needs... help. Find him... (slouches over) It's in... the sand..." (collapses)

Ash: "Uh oh." (Drags and sets Donut up by the wall)

Caboose: "It's in this and... this and what? (crouches) Donut, this and what!? What is "this?"

Ash: "The sand? (To South and Alexis) Any of that ring a bell to you two?"

South: "Nope."

Alexis: "Doesn't ring a bell."

Caboose: (ignores them) "What, what, your pocket? Is Tucker in your pocket? ... I remember him being a lot bigger. Tucker! Are you in there!?"

Sarge: (from outside) "Hey! Anybody here? Blue? Where are ya?"

Caboose: "Tucker! Is that you? Why did you shrink? And why are you talking like a pirate?"

Ash: (sighs) "It's just Sarge..."

Sarge: "Hello??"

Caboose: "Hello! Yes, I hear you!"

Sarge: "Then get outside! I need to talk to you!"

Caboose: (rises) "Out? ...ohhh, oh, I see, I thought—hah... man, sometimes I am so dumb. (crouches again) Hold on, Pocket Tucker! Someone outside wants to talk to me! (rises again) Donut, you can rest here as long as you want. You must be tired from all of "this and." And other stuff." (leaves)
