We cut to the Reds and Doc facing the Warthog.

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

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?

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.

At Blue Base, Church, Rick, Tucker and Caboose were on top of the base.

Church: There, you hear that?

Rick: Of course we heard it.

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.

Rick: Wait, you guys can't hear anything? You don't hear that faint beeping noise?

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 & Tucker & Rick: ...

Rick: ...Caboose?

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

Rick: Are you okay?

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

At Red Base, the Warthog suddenly began to...

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.

The Warthog drives straight at Doc and hits him, landing him 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.

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.

Back at Blue Base, Caboose is kneeling in front of Church. The beeping is still present.
