24 \u2013 Two Days Later \u2013 Hour 2<\/p>\n
The following takes place between 8 pm and 9 pm<\/p>\n
8:00 pm \u2013 Jack tells Cindy, \u201cHoney, I need to know what happened to the archway at the end of the hall.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cindy gives him a funny look and says, \u201cWhat\u2019s an archway?\u201d Meanwhile, Morris and Bill are banging on the wall, trying to figure out how an archway they just walked through could have been replaced with a wall so quickly. Cindy repeats her wish to go see her parents. Chloe tells Jack that they need to go outside anyway, because her cell phone isn\u2019t getting any reception, as she puts the remote control she was holding away in her purse. Jack says that as soon as they figure out how to get out of the warehouse, it should be OK. Chloe gives him a dirty look and tells him that she knows how it works, since she wrote a lot of software to do that before coming to CTU.<\/p>\n
8:03 pm \u2013 Cindy leads them out of the room, and to a wide staircase leading down to a living room. Morris comments, \u201cI\u2019ve heard of people building retro apartments inside of warehouses before, but this is amazing! Very authentic.\u201d They all go down into the living room.<\/p>\n
Jack tells Cindy that they want to leave the warehouse, not go downstairs into the basement. Cindy gives him a funny look. She points to a door and tells them they can leave that way, or they can leave through the family room, which is beyond the kitchen. <\/p>\n
8:05 pm \u2013 Jack tells Bill, Morris and Chloe that they have to follow Cheng to see if they can figure out where he went. A man and two women, followed by five other children, come into the living room from the kitchen. They\u2019re all dressed in 70\u2019s style clothing. The man says, \u201cCindy! Are you OK? What\u2019s going on here? Who are all these people?\u201d<\/p>\n
Cindy says, \u201cDaddy, these people are with the police! They say they\u2019re following bad guys!\u201d<\/p>\n
The father says, \u201cWait a minute. The FBI was already here for my clearance, and we cleared up that whole mix up with Sam. What\u2019s this about?\u201d <\/p>\n
Jack says, \u201cWe\u2019re not with the FBI. We\u2019re with CTU.\u201d<\/p>\n
The father replies, \u201cOh! Well! Then that sounds like a completely reasonable explanation!\u201d He turns to one of the women, who is dressed like a housekeeper, and says, \u201cAlice, can you go check the house to see if everything is OK? If you see a burglar, make sure and yell!\u201d The family all laughs as if that\u2019s some sort of joke.<\/p>\n
The father says, \u201cI\u2019m sure we would have heard something if there had been anyone in the house. Why don\u2019t you come out back for a quick bite to eat before you go?\u201d<\/p>\n
8:08 pm – Chloe, Morris, Bill and Jack are all lead through the kitchen and family room into a backyard. They all look back and realize that they\u2019ve walked out of a house, and not the warehouse they had run into. They see that they\u2019re in a residential neighborhood. <\/p>\n
The father says, \u201cWhere are my manners? I\u2019m Mike Brady, this is my wife Carol. These are our kids, Greg, Marcia, Jan, Peter, Bobby, and you\u2019ve met Cindy.\u201d He points in the direction of the woman that just left, \u201cThat was Alice\u201d. <\/p>\n
8:10 pm \u2013 Everyone grabs something to eat while Chloe, Morris, Bill and Jack try to get a connection on their cell phones, but they are having trouble. Jan and Peter are near a doghouse, arguing. <\/p>\n
Jan says, \u201cLook, I\u2019m telling you, something weird is going on! Before Mom and Dad got married, we had pets! We had a cat named \u2018Fluffy\u2019, and you had a dog, named \u2018Tiger\u2019! Why would we have a dog house if we didn\u2019t have a dog?\u201d<\/p>\n
Peter doesn\u2019t believe her. \u201cI have no idea what you\u2019re talking about, Jan!\u201d, Peter says.<\/p>\n
8:10 pm \u2013 Greg walks up to Chloe and says, \u201cYou know, you\u2019re one groovy lady. How\u2019d you like a ride in my new convertible?\u201d Chloe gives him a disgusted look and says, \u201cI\u2019m old enough to be your mo\u2026 older sister.\u201d<\/p>\n
8:11 pm \u2013 Morris walks over to Carol to ask whether she has ever had problems with cell phone reception. Carol tells him that since telephones are property of the telephone company, they would never try and sell them.<\/p>\n
Commercial<\/p>\n
8:17 pm \u2013 Bill takes a look at what looks like a vintage convertible in the driveway, and Greg tells him his pal Eddie sold it to him. There\u2019s a scream from inside the house, \u201cBuuuuuuuurglers!\u201d <\/p>\n
Jack pulls out his gun, and Carol asks, \u201cNow, kids, I want you to look at that. Jack has a gun, but that\u2019s only because it\u2019s part of his job. Jack, Is that really necessary?\u201d Jack ignores this and enters the house.<\/p>\n
8:18 pm \u2013 Jack walks through the family room, through the kitchen and to the living room, but doesn\u2019t see anything. Mike casually walks behind Jack. Jack nearly shoots him when Mike nearly trips and knocks over a vase. The front door is open. Jack runs to it, and doesn\u2019t see anyone.<\/p>\n
8:20 pm – Mike realizes that his office door is open, and calls Jack over. They enter Mike\u2019s office, and it\u2019s been ransacked. The rest of the family enters, followed by Bill, Chloe and Morris. Mike says, \u201cWell, it looks like we\u2019ll have to do some cleaning in here!\u201d The family laughs, but it\u2019s not clear why.<\/p>\n
8:21 pm \u2013 Mike says, \u201cWhy would anyone do this to an architect?\u201d Jack asks Mike what he has been working on lately that might have caused someone to do this. Mike thinks for a moment, and says, \u201cWell, I\u2019ve been looking at designing a city park, a library, and an office building\u2026. Oh, and then there\u2019s the nuclear power plant\u2026 Nothing out of the ordinary.\u201d<\/p>\n
8:22 pm \u2013 The rest of the family enters Mike\u2019s office as Bill asks, \u201cWhat are you doing designing a nuclear power plant, and why would anyone want to steal the plans for a nuclear power plant? Wouldn\u2019t they be able to find something like that on the Internet?\u201d<\/p>\n
Mike tells Bill, \u201cOh, the design I had was very solid construction. No nets of any kind. It\u2019s strictly concrete\u201d. Bill gives Mike a strange look and says, \u201cNo, I meant \u2018The Internet\u2019\u2026 You know, \u2018The Web\u2019\u201d? <\/p>\n
Mike tells Bill, \u201cWell, Alice takes care of all the webs around the house. Where is Alice anyway?\u201d<\/p>\n
Chloe blurts out, \u201cAre you people stupid? Someone attacked her! They must have been surprised when she came into the office, checking to be sure that everything was OK! Aren\u2019t you the least bit concerned?<\/p>\n
Mike responds, \u201cOh, I don\u2019t know. Alice is a pretty tough cookie. Besides, no matter what happens around here, it always works out in the end!\u201d The whole family laughs again, and Morris leans over to Chloe to whisper that their constant laughing is starting to be a little creepy.<\/p>\n
8:25 pm \u2013 Jack asks Mike to see the copy of the nuclear power plant plans, but they seem to be missing. Jan says, \u201cMaybe Tiger took them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Everyone turns to Jan. Carol says, \u201cJan, honey, we\u2019ve been over this before. There is no \u2018Tiger\u2019\u201d. Jan clenches her teeth in frustration and storms out of the room.<\/p>\n
8:26 pm \u2013 Chloe tells Jack that she even tried to get a Wi-Fi connection on her handheld, but can\u2019t find any networks to connect to. Jack asks Mike if he can use the telephone. The phone has a rotary dial.<\/p>\n
8:27 pm \u2013 Jack dials the CTU phone number and several others, but gets a recording that says, \u201cThe number you have dialed is not in service.\u201d<\/p>\n
Commercial <\/p>\n
8:33 pm \u2013 Jack asks Mike if he has a car, and Mike brings him outside to show him the family station wagon. Jack asks, \u201cWow! I haven\u2019t seen one of these in years! My father used to\u2026 Well, never mind that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mike says, \u201cWhat are you talking about? I just bought this new last week!\u201d<\/p>\n
8:34 pm \u2013 Carol comes outside to tell Mike that they\u2019ve received a phone call. Carol tells them that a man with a weird accent said that Mike was supposed to bring his black notebook with him to the city\u2019s civic center auditorium, and if he didn\u2019t, Alice would be in trouble.<\/p>\n
8:36 pm \u2013 Jack, Carol and Mike are in the front seat of the station wagon, while Chloe, Bill and Morris are in the back. Mike gives directions to the civic center. Mike asks, \u201cWhy would they want this old black notebook?\u201d Jack says he has no idea, but it\u2019s the only way to get Alice back and to track down the people he\u2019s been chasing.<\/p>\n
8:37 pm \u2013 As they stop at a light, Morris comments that there must be some sort of car show happening on this side of town, since all he\u2019s seen on the road are vintage cars. Jack mumbles that this whole \u201cstop at a light\u201d thing is kind of freaking him out.<\/p>\n
Commercial<\/p>\n
8:42 pm \u2013 They arrive at the auditorium, which has a sign in front saying \u201cConcert tomorrow night!\u201d A car has been driven all the way up the front steps and is parked right next to the front door. Mike recognizes it as a car belonging to a next door neighbor. There\u2019s also a large multi-colored school bus parked in front of the school. Jack stops the car and they all get out, and head for the front door.<\/p>\n
8:43 pm \u2013 \u201cWhat about us?\u201d The adults turn around to see all of the kids piling out of the back of the station wagon. Mike and Carol look upset\u2026but not all that upset. Jack tells Mike and Carol that they should keep the children outside, because it\u2019s much too dangerous. Mike insists on going along, to make sure that Alice is OK. The kids start to whine as Jack enters the building with Mike and Bill. Jack tells Chloe and Morris to get the cell phones working while they try and track down Cheng.<\/p>\n
8:44 pm \u2013 As they enter the lobby of the building, music can be heard from the auditorium where a band is practicing. Mike says that he thinks he recognizes that song, and goes straight for the doors. He swings the doors open, points at the band and yells, \u201cPartridge! I should have known!\u201d<\/p>\n
8:45 pm \u2013 Jack reminds Bill to never take anyone along who hasn\u2019t been trained in the whole concept of \u201csurprise\u201d, as they race to catch up with Mike. Mike is yelling at the top of his lungs at a woman on stage with her children, \u201cI should have known you were behind this!\u201d He makes his way down to the stage as Jack and Bill follow.<\/p>\n
The woman says, \u201cLook, Brady, we got this gig fair and square. I\u2019m sorry if you\u2019re having problems getting your children on stage to sing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mike says, \u201cYou know that\u2019s not what I mean! Where\u2019s Alice, Shirley?\u201d<\/p>\n
Shirley says, \u201cI have no idea what you\u2019re talking about!\u201d<\/p>\n
There\u2019s a gunshot from the balcony area. A man yells, \u201cENOUGH!\u201d<\/p>\n
8:46 pm \u2013 Everyone looks up, and there are several men with machine guns in the balcony area. Shirley yells, \u201cKeith, Laurie! Get Chris and Tracey out of here!\u201d They run for the exit in the back of the auditorium. One of the men is holding Alice. He yells for Mike to throw him the black notebook.<\/p>\n
Jack yells, \u201cWhat assurance do we have that you won\u2019t hurt Alice?\u201d Mike throws the black notebook up to the man, who catches it and yells, \u201cYou don\u2019t have any!\u201d and pushes Alice off the balcony.<\/p>\n
8:48 pm \u2013 Just as she goes tumbling over the side, Alice catches herself on the balcony railing. The men in the balcony run for the balcony exit. Jack is able to shoot one, but the rest escape. Alice screams while this is all going on, trying to drag herself back onto the balcony. Jack goes running for a side door labeled, \u201cBalcony\u201d.<\/p>\n
Bill goes rushing over and tells Alice he\u2019ll catch her. Alice drops, and Bill doesn\u2019t so much catch Alice, as provide a nice landing target. She falls right on top of Bill, who is flattened to the ground. Mike and Shirley help Bill up.<\/p>\n
8:49 pm \u2013 Jack runs to the upstairs corridor, but doesn\u2019t see anyone in any of the balcony compartments. He reaches the balcony where Alice was hanging, and sees her on the ground with Bill. He yells for Bill to go back out to the front of the building and set up a perimeter.<\/p>\n
Commercial<\/p>\n
8:53 pm \u2013 Jack arrives in the front of the building, with Bill, Alice, Mike and Shirley right behind. Greg is talking to Laurie, and Keith is talking to Marcia. Both Mike and Shirley separate their respective children. Chloe comments about how there are much too many people here right now.<\/p>\n
8:54 pm \u2013 Shirley is furious. \u201cOf all the petty stunts I\u2019ve seen pulled, this is the lowest. First you try and establish your children as a singing act, and when they weren\u2019t as successful as you hoped, you come to sabotage our rehearsal!\u201d Jack tries to explain to her what happened, but she won\u2019t listen.<\/p>\n
8:55 pm \u2013 Chloe calls Jack over, and Bill and Morris gather around too. She tells him, \u201cJack, I\u2019ve been talking to Mrs. Brady. You\u2019re not going to like this. We\u2019re in 1974.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jack says, \u201cWhat do you mean, \u20181974\u2019? You mean the year 1974? That\u2019s ridiculous!\u201d<\/p>\n
Chloe continues, \u201cI know it\u2019s ridiculous\u2026. But is it as ridiculous as stopping a second atomic bomb explosion and then getting back your comatose girlfriend from a Chinese prison camp, while trying to destroy a Russian computer chip?\u201d<\/p>\n
Jack says, \u201cYou have a point\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
8:57 pm \u2013 Jack continues, \u201cWell, what are we going to do about it? Find another archway to walk through and hope we make it back to our own time period?\u201d<\/p>\n
Chloe says, \u201cI\u2019ll think of something\u201d.<\/p>\n
8:58 pm \u2013 Several police cars drive up, and the officers get out, asking what the commotion is all about. There\u2019s loud crack and a flash of light behind the crowd. They look to where Chloe, Morris, Bill and Jack were standing before\u2026. And they\u2019re gone.<\/p>\n
8:59 pm \u2013 Chloe, Morris, Bill and Jack are now standing in the middle of a jungle. Jack says, “Um, this isn\u2019t exactly what I meant.”<\/p>\n
9:00 pm \u2013 Time\u2019s up!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
