The following might have happened between 11 am and 12 noon, but we\u2019re not really sure because the tests haven\u2019t come back yet.<\/p>\n
11:00 a.m. (2pm Eastern) \u2013 Jack hands the \u201cHurricane Edgar\u201d note to Chloe, and calls Bill at CTU via the Jackphone. Curtis wants to know how Edgar becoming a football player will hurt anything. Jack puts Bill on speaker and asks where Edgar is headed. Bill says he thinks Edgar is headed for \u201cutter doom\u201d, and Chloe laughs because she says she remembers seeing cows in a video game with that name. Jack yells at both of them to quit acting goofy, and Curtis jumps in and says that to do that they\u2019d have to drive four hours north and audition. Bill asks Jack what he\u2019s worried about, since Chloe\u2019s homing signal is within 10 feet of them and everything is fine. Jack spots the homing signal device the Chloe built, laying on the ground.<\/p>\n
11:02 \u2013 Ex-president Manilow walks down to one end of the mall where a number of the stores appear to be closed. Strange music is coming out of one of them. It appears to be some sort of novelty store. He checks the door to see if it\u2019s open, and after pushing on it with all his might, realizes that it opens towards him and goes in.<\/p>\n
11:03 \u2013 (2:03 Eastern) Jack, Chloe and Curtis are looking toward the east trying to figure out where RoboEdgar might have gone. A small crowd of Herald Hunt participants start to gather behind them, to try to see what Jack, Chloe and Curtis are looking at. Chloe says that RoboEdgar must be getting low on fuel. Jack asks what \u201cfuel\u201d, and Chloe looks at him like he just opened an e-mail attachment without having a virus checker installed. Chloe explains that the reason Edgar must have attacked the donut shops and snack factory was to get enough energy to fly all the way to Miami. Curtis asks why, if that were true, did RoboEdgar end up with a nuclear device? Chloe is just about to make a snide remark to Curtis about this when she realizes that he\u2019s right. Curtis \u201chigh fives\u201d Jack, and writes down today\u2019s date and time, and tells them they\u2019re both witnesses. They all start walking towards the east, closer to the street, which is getting considerably louder than before.<\/p>\n
11:05 \u2013 Audrey stumbles into CTU very dazed. She wanders past the guards, telling them that she\u2019s Agent 99, and she\u2019s there to see Max. She stumbles up the stairs to the CTU situation room, where lots of situations have happened. Bill asks where she\u2019s been, and Audrey asks him if he knows the way to San Jose. Bill tells Harold that something is wrong with Audrey. Harold isn\u2019t really sure how Bill can tell this, but he goes along with it anyway. Bill asks Audrey if she\u2019s inebriated, and she tells him, no, she\u2019s drunk. Harold takes a step closer to Audrey and realizes that she\u2019s ticking! Harold points at her and says \u201cBomb!\u201d and dives under the desk. Audrey giggles and says \u201cBoom!\u201d Bill thinks about what to do for a minute, sighs, and calls the bomb squad.<\/p>\n
11:07 \u2013 A dyslexic convenience store.<\/p>\n
11:08 \u2013 Bill explains the situation to the bomb squad. The guy from the bomb squad tries to convince Bill that waiting, oh, about 10 hours might help the bomb defuse. Bill considers this for a moment, and then tells them to get down there right away.<\/p>\n
Commercial<\/p>\n
11:12 \u2013 Secretary Heller enters the office of VP Scary, who is arguing with one of the secret service agents. Scary is insisting on being called \u201cEmperor\u201d. The secret service agent turns to leave, rolls his eyes, and tells Heller \u201cGood Luck\u201d. Heller excuses himself from the room, and talks with some of the secret service agents, including Secret Service Agent Aaron.<\/p>\n
11:13 \u2013 Bill and Harold frantically try to get Audrey to quit making sudden moves, but Audrey seems dead set on chasing them around the room yelling \u201cBoom!\u201d. The bomb squad arrives, and again asks Bill if he\u2019s really sure they want them there. Audrey starts crying, and the bomb stops ticking. The room gets really quiet, except for a loud whining noise which makes everyone dive behind a table. The whining noise suddenly gets much louder when Audrey joins them all behind the table. Bill realizes the whining noise is actually Audrey. One of the bomb squad guys next to Bill looks over and sees that Audrey\u2019s tears defused the bomb. The rest of the bomb squad looks pretty upset at this news.<\/p>\n
11:13 \u2013 Manilow wanders around the dimly lit novelty shop, not noticing that the men in black suits that had been following him go right past the front door. The weird music continues to play. Manilow finds some pretty funny-looking masks, and tries one on. He looks in the mirror and thinks it\u2019s a little odd, because doesn\u2019t see the mask. It takes him a few seconds to realize that he just put a \u201cPresident Manilow\u201d mask on himself.<\/p>\n
11:14 (1:14 Central) \u2013 We see Agent Morris at the last working pay phone in America, telling someone on the other end of the phone, \u201cThey booted me from the plane.\u201d<\/p>\n
11:15 \u2013 Secretary Heller bursts back into Scary\u2019s office saying that a horrible tragedy just happened. Heller tells Scary that the mobile battle station they were building was just blown up by a teenager, a space pirate, and some kind of really tall monkey. Scary looks really mad, and says that Heller will have to pay the price for this. Scary points his hands at Heller and shakes them. Nothing happens. Scary looks at his hands, then at Heller and then points his hands at Heller again, shaking them harder this time. Scary mumbles something about a pilot light being out, as two hospital orderlies enter the room. They tell Scary that they\u2019re here to give him a nice, new, tight-fitting white jacket with his name printed upside down so when it looks down he can read it easily. Scary points his hands at them, and nothing happens. They finally convince Scary to go with them by telling him they\u2019re there to take him to an important Imperial Senate meeting, and if they don\u2019t hurry, he\u2019ll be late. They leave.<\/p>\n
11:19 (2:19 Eastern) Jack, Curtis and Chloe are near the roadway, just standing there, wondering what to do next, and where Edgar might be trying to refuel. Off in the distance, a line of white cars are heading in their direction. A guy named Jim standing behind Jack says \u201cOh, this can\u2019t be good\u201d. Jack turns around and asks Jim why that would be. Jim says, \u201cYou have no idea. They get up early in the morning and drive around really slow to make us late while we try and get to work. Then when we try and get back home, they\u2019re out again driving really slow. Forget about trying to catch an early dinner. Every restaurant is jammed. I haven\u2019t gotten home before 7 pm or eaten at a restaurant before 8 pm in years. I don\u2019t know why they\u2019re out now, unless they thought they would be getting a lunch special some place. You don\u2019t want to see them angry!\u201d As the white cars get closer, we see there\u2019s a very long line of them, and they\u2019re swerving over all the lanes of traffic. This being Miami, many of the residents don\u2019t seem to notice anything out of the ordinary, but Jack, Curtis and Chloe look nervous.<\/p>\n
11:21 (2:21 Eastern) \u2013 Curtis points at the line of cars and tells Jack that they look like the same cars they told about the fake lunch special. The guy they\u2019re with says they better get out of there because the people in those cars are going to be really mad. Jim says their only hope is to outrun them, or to stall them until 8 pm at which point they\u2019ll all fall asleep. Chloe says that outrunning them seems to be a much better plan.<\/p>\n
11:22 (2:22 Eastern) \u2013 Jack asks Jim to whether he has a car nearby. Jim takes them to his car, and Jack tells Jim that Curtis better drive because there might a lot of shooting, and high speed chases. Jim laughs, and tells them to get into the car. The car\u2019s tires squeal on the way out of the parking lot, and as the wheels on the left side of the car go up in the air, Jim asks them where they want to go. Curtis tells Jim that he\u2019s very impressed with his driving ability, and Jim confides that all drivers in Miami are taught to do this.<\/p>\n
11:23 (2:23 Eastern) \u2013 Jack is talking with Chloe as Jim drives. They\u2019re trying to figure out how RoboEdgar could possibly get enough food to get out to sea to become Hurricane Edgar. Jim says that cruise ships are probably their best bet. They head for the Port of Miami. Jack phones Bill, and Bill tells him that they\u2019ve been able to trace RoboEdgar to one of the cruise ships that already left earlier in the day. Jack asks how Bill how he was able to do this. Bill tells Jack that they used a combination of satellites, sophisticated radar imaging, and the trail of empty potato chip bags they saw floating in the water.<\/p>\n
11:25 (2:25 Eastern) \u2013 We see RoboEdgar standing on the deck of a cruise ship, wearing a \u201cI Love to Cruise\u201d t-shirt. We hear an announcement about the early afternoon snack being served on the Lido deck. There\u2019s a stampede of people that head down to the Lido deck.<\/p>\n
Commercial<\/p>\n
11:29 (2:29 Eastern) \u2013 RoboEdgar is in line on the Lido deck, trying to blend in. An announcement over the PA system tells people there is a mid-afternoon buffet, and free skeet shooting on the Sports Deck. There\u2019s a stampede of people that head up to the Sports Deck.<\/p>\n
11:30 \u2013 Secretary Heller is standing near a presidential helicopter just outside of the LA presidential compound, talking to Secret Service Agent Aaron. Heller says that Aaron himself will have to take over as president temporarily until as suitable replacement can be found. Aaron says that under those conditions it could take a really long time, and that he hopes Heller has a better plan than that. Heller tells Aaron it should only take a short time. Heller takes off in the helicopter.<\/p>\n
11:32 (2:32 Eastern) Up on the Sports Deck, RoboEdgar is standing in line for the buffet, wearing a first place blue ribbon for Skeet shooting. An announcement says that the \u201ckind of early but really closer to mid-afternoon ice cream festival\u201d is taking place just outside the casino, and there\u2019s a stampede of people as they head there.<\/p>\n
11:33 (2:33 Eastern) \u2013 Jim\u2019s car arrives at the Port of Miami with Jack, Chloe and Curtis. Jim points to the pink and turquoise helicopter and says that would be there best bet to get to the cruise ship. Curtis questions the color of the helicopter, and Jim says that in South Florida, it’s the law. Jack thanks Jim for the ride.<\/p>\n
11:34 (2:34 Eastern) \u2013 Jack, Chloe and Curtis approach the pilot of the helicopter, who is outside checking out the fuel lines. Jack shows the pilot his CTU badge, as Chloe and Curtis get into the helicopter. The pilot shows Jack his Captain Crunch ring. Jack tells the pilot that it\u2019s vital to the country\u2019s well-being that they get a ride to the cruise ship right away. The pilot says that it\u2019s vital to his well-being that he should get paid right away. Jack points at a passing blimp showing a clue to the Herald Hunt, and when the pilot looks up, Jack stamps on the pilot\u2019s foot really hard. Jack jumps into the pilot seat of the helicopter, and takes off. Curtis and Chloe just stare at him. Jack says \u201cWhat?? I\u2019m conserving bullets, OK?\u201d<\/p>\n
11:36 – Heller is flying over LA in the helicopter he\u2019s in, which is much less pink and turquoise than the one Jack is in. Heller phones CTU to let Bill know that Scary has been taken away, the Aaron is temporarily in charge, and to find out what the situation is with RoboEdgar. Bill explains that Jack is following RoboEdgar, and that Audrey had a bomb attached to her which has been deactivated. Heller says that there’s obviously some kind of plot going on, and to watch out. Heller looks around and sees a news helicopter, panics, and tells Bill to “Tell Audrey I love her”, and jumps out of the helicopter.<\/p>\n
11:38 (2:38 Eastern) \u2013 Jack spots the cruise ship and lands on it, meeting the captain of the ship. Jack asks the captain if there\u2019s any place on the ship where there might a lot of food. The captain asks if Jack is kidding. Jack tells Curtis and Chloe to start to search the ship.<\/p>\n
11:41 \u2013 Acting President Aaron orders a Big Mac with Krispy Kreme Donuts instead of a sesame seed bun for lunch, just because he always wondered if the president could do something like that.<\/p>\n
Commercial<\/p>\n
11:46 \u2013 Manilow is still poking around in the novelty store when he hears voices coming out of the back room. He peeks into the back room and sees several people sitting around a table holding hands, while one of them is chanting something.<\/p>\n
11:47 \u2013 (2:47 Eastern) Chloe sees RoboEdgar participating in the ice cream eating contest, near an area with a lot of slot machines and calls Jack about it. Jack tells Chloe that he\u2019ll be right there, and calls Curtis to tell him to go.<\/p>\n
11:48 \u2013 One of the people that\u2019s been chanting in the room that Manilow is watching, starts mumbling in a language the Manilow can barely understand. He\u2019s confused until he realizes it\u2019s English.<\/p>\n
11:49 \u2013 (2:49 Eastern) Jack and Curtis find Chloe, watching the contest. Jack suggests that they create a diversion while Jack tries to get to RoboEdgar. Jack and Curtis start making suggestions about starting an impromptu Limbo contests, and Chloe tells them to stop. She makes them swear that they won\u2019t repeat what they\u2019re about to see. Chloe walks over to one of the machines, presses the buttons on the front in a long sequence of pushes, drops a quarter in and pulls the handle. All of the machines come up with three bars, and start shooting money all over the place.<\/p>\n
11:52 \u2013 (2:52 Eastern) Jack attempts to get to RoboEdgar, pushing against the crowd that\u2019s trying to get to the money. Before Jack gets there, RoboEdgar looks up, ice cream all over his face, and sees Jack. Before Jack can take another step, RoboEdgar leans back in his chair and crashes through the window behind him, and tumbles out of sight.<\/p>\n
11:54 \u2013 (2:54 Eastern) Jack looks out the window, just in time to see RoboEdgar has fired the rockets in his feet again, and zooms right past the window into the sky. Jack turns around and has a combination of rocket exhaust, ice cream and orange cheese powder all over him. Jack runs to the staircase and heads upstairs. Chloe and Curtis follow him.<\/p>\n
11:56 \u2013 Manilow watches as a ghostly figure appears out while the chanting continues. The ghost appears to be very hazy, and he can\u2019t quite tell who it is. He starts humming the \u201cCasper the Friendly Ghost\u201d song to himself.<\/p>\n
11:57 \u2013 (2:57 Eastern) Jack, Chloe and Curtis get into the helicopter, and Jack tells Curtis to fly the helicopter after RoboEdgar. Edgar is hovering in mid-air and starts to rotate in place. Jack tells Curtis to get on top of Edgar, and Curtis says that would need a really bigger ladder for that. Jack tells him to fly over Edgar, which he does.<\/p>\n
11:58 \u2013 Manilow watches as the ghost seems to solidify even more. The ghost appears to be wearing an orange apron of some sort. Manilow watches in horror as Marwan materializes in the room! Marwan is back! Manilow faints.<\/p>\n
11:59 \u2013 (2:59 Eastern) Chloe asks Jack what he\u2019s going to do. RoboEdgar is rotating really quickly now and the air surrounding the helicopter is getting more and more turbulent. Jack says that this is the only way he\u2019ll be able to stop RoboEdgar, tells Curtis to get the heck out of there. Chloe screams as she watches Jack step out of the helicopter!<\/p>\n
