Plot summary

Scorpion takes a private job revamping a winery's viticulture technology with selective harvesters and optical sorters. On the way to the winery in a limousine, the team is knocked out by kevloturane, a subtle but potentially lethal gas. They are tricked by a foreign diplomat posing as the vineyard owner, and she forces them to make American counterfeit money for her country, the fictional Norteguay of which her brother is dictator, that intends to ruin the U.S. economy. After being locked in a warehouse with her mother, Paige has to rely on her mother's con-artist skills to save them all. Meanwhile, at the winery, Toby and Happy are followed by a Norteguaian henchman and escape to the garage to help the rest of the team, who believe they are out of the country but are really in Simi Valley, California.
