24 \u2013 Two Days Later \u2013 Hour 3<\/p>\n
The following takes place between 9 pm and 10 pm<\/p>\n
9:00 pm \u2013 Chloe insists that she didn\u2019t do anything to transport everyone into the jungle they are now standing in. \u201cLook Jack, if I chose some place to go, it would have been back to CTU. I\u2019m pretty tired right now, and I\u2019m getting cranky.\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris glances over at Bill and whispers, \u201cThe last time she was \u2018cranky\u2019, she tasered me, and when I woke up my head was shaved.\u201d Bill points out that Morris\u2019 head has always been shaved as long as he\u2019s known him, and Morris says, \u201cExactly.\u201d<\/p>\n
9:02 pm – Chloe ignores all of them, and taps on her watch. She puts it up to her ear to listen to it, when Morris points that digital watches don\u2019t making ticking noises. Chloe gives him a dirty look, and says, \u201cI know that Morris. I was trying to figure out of the harmonic resonance of the LCD was being effected by whatever is sending us all over the place.\u201d Morris starts to point out that what Chloe said is just a bunch of mumbo-jumbo, but she shoots him a look and he backs down.<\/p>\n
She continues, \u201cI know we\u2019re in a jungle, and everything, but doesn\u2019t it seem a little weird to all of you that it\u2019s 9:00 pm at night, and it\u2019s still light out?\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris says that \u201cpm at night\u201d is redundant. Chloe threatens to make Morris redundant, so he drops it. Jack and Bill agree that there is definitely something weird happening.<\/p>\n
9:05 pm \u2013 Jack says, \u201cWe\u2019re not going to figure out where we are by standing around. Everyone follow me.\u201d They start to make their way through the dense vegetation, Jack leading the way, Bill right behind him, followed by Chloe and Morris. Chloe tells everyone to be careful, because the insects in the foliage they\u2019re walking through could be deadly. Bill laughs and says that he used to live in South Florida where he witnessed gang fights between fire ants and palmetto bugs, so he\u2019s not afraid of any bugs.<\/p>\n
9:07 pm – Almost on cue, they hear a weird noise. Bill\u2019s eyes grow wide and he says, \u201cGuys\u2026 Where are we?\u201d in a little girl voice. Everyone stops and listens, but they don\u2019t hear it again. They continue on their way.<\/p>\n
Commercial<\/p>\n
9:11 pm \u2013 The jungle foliage is becoming less dense, and Jack tells everyone that he thinks he hears the ocean ahead of them. Chloe says that, technically, the ocean is ALWAYS ahead of them, but Jack ignores this and continues. About fifty yards ahead of them, they can see blue water. <\/p>\n
9:13 pm – Jack tells everyone to be quiet. Everyone stops talking and listens. They hear a strange static-sounding rumbling noise from somewhere behind them. They start running for the beach, nearly tripping all over each other.<\/p>\n
They burst out of the jungle onto the beach. The noise that was following them has stopped. Bill points down the beach at something. \u201cWhat\u2019s that wreckage?\u201d They move towards it.<\/p>\n
9:14 pm \u2013 They arrive at the wreckage of a boat. Bill wonders, \u201cDo you think anyone could have survived?\u201d <\/p>\n
Chloe looks at him, \u201cBill, it\u2019s a small hole in a boat. It\u2019s not like the wreckage were from a plane. If it were a plane, there would be no way someone could survive something like that. Anyway, the people on board this ship would have had time to jump overboard.\u201d<\/p>\n
9:16 pm \u2013 Jack walks around the ship and back to the group. Jack says, \u201cThe boat is the S.S. Minnow. It looks like it was abandoned some time ago.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bill says, \u201cBut where did\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris puts up the palm of his hand to stop everyone from speaking, and Bill goes the typical guy thing and instinctively gives him a high five. They briefly start slapping each others hands trying to get the other to stop until they hear the strange noise again.<\/p>\n
9:17 pm \u2013 They see the source of the noise: A thin young man with a white hat and a red shirt comes to the edge of the jungle near where they\u2019re standing. He\u2019s been trying to make ambulance noises using the megaphone, which seems pretty low on batteries. It\u2019s hard to tell who\u2019s more startled at seeing the other, the young man, or Jack\u2019s group. It\u2019s probably the young man, since the noise he\u2019s making with the megaphone trails off into a low \u201cUh, oh\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
9:18 pm – The young man stands there for a second, waves weakly, decides it would be better to turn around and run into the jungle, so he does. The man yells \u201cSKIPPER!\u201d as he makes a mad dash through the jungle. Jack starts running after him, while the other three are still standing there trying to understand what they just saw. They snap out of it, and then run after Jack.<\/p>\n
Commercial<\/p>\n
9:23 pm – Jack goes running after the man. Jack can\u2019t keep up, because it looks like this guy has had a lot of practice running through the jungle. Still, Jack hasn\u2019t lost sight of him, and yells for Chloe, Morris and Bill to hurry up so they don\u2019t get separated.<\/p>\n
9:24 pm \u2013 The young man stops up ahead. It looks like he\u2019s trying to decide something. Jack nearly catches up when the man makes up his mind. He turns around to face Jack, and pulls a rope as Jack approaches. Unfortunately, what happens isn\u2019t quite what the young man expects: A net that was under the dirt catches the man by surprise, and he\u2019s suddenly hanging twenty feet in the air. The man starts really yelling now, \u201cSKIPPPER!\u201d, alternating it with \u201cPleaseDon\u2019tHurtMePleaseDon\u2019tHurtMe\u201d over and over. <\/p>\n
9:26 pm – Bill and Chloe catch up with Jack, who is trying to calm the young man down. Jack tells him, \u201cWe\u2019re not going to hurt you!\u201d. He puts his gun away.<\/p>\n
The man says, \u201cOh, yeah? Then why were you looking at the boat? You\u2019re cannibals!\u201d<\/p>\n
Chloe says, \u201cLook at me\u2026 Am I dressed like a cannibal?\u201d<\/p>\n
The man stops for a minute and realizes that she might not be a cannibal. Bill whispers to her, \u201cWhat exactly does a cannibal dress like?\u201d <\/p>\n
Chloe punches him in the stomach with her elbow, grits her teeth and says, \u201cQuiet! We\u2019re trying to calm him down!\u201d It seems to be working, because the young man is quieter now.<\/p>\n
Jack looks around, and asks, \u201cWhere\u2019s Morris?\u201d<\/p>\n
Bill says, \u201cWe thought he ran ahead and was with you!\u201d<\/p>\n
The young man hears this discussion and yells, \u201cYOU ATE HIM! I KNEW IT! SKIPPER!\u201d <\/p>\n
9:27 pm \u2013 We hear a voice yell, \u201cGilligan! How many times did I tell you to\u2026\u201d Jack draws his gun. Two men come running into the clearing, and stop when they see Jack holding the gun. Morris arrives at the same time, a little winded from falling behind.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow wait a minute! We\u2019re not going to hurt anyone! We\u2019re just here to get my little buddy!\u201d says one of the men. He looks like he must be a ship captain, because he\u2019s wearing a hat with an anchor on it. Jack makes a quick assessment and realizes all three of these guys are pretty harmless, mainly because they appear unarmed.<\/p>\n
The other man introduces himself, \u201cThat\u2019s the Skipper. I see you\u2019ve met Gilligan. I\u2019m Roy Hinkley. Everyone around here just calls me Professor. Are you here to rescue us?\u201d<\/p>\n
Chloe seems taken aback, \u201cRescue you? What do you mean? We\u2019re trying to figure out where we are!\u201d<\/p>\n
The Skipper says, \u201cLet\u2019s head back to camp and introduce you to the others. Maybe you\u2019re finally the people that will help us off this island!\u201d<\/p>\n
Everyone leaves\u2026. Except Gilligan, who is still up in the net. \u201cProfessor? Skipper? New guys? \u2026.Anyone?\u201d<\/p>\n
Commercial<\/p>\n
9:32 pm \u2013 On the way, The Professor explains about the shipwreck and how The Skipper and Gilligan saved everyone. They’ve been on the island for some time now, and are hopeful they’ll be rescued soon.<\/p>\n
The group arrives at a set of huts, which surround a picnic table. Skipper introduces everyone, “This is Ginger, Mr. And Mrs. Howell, Mary Ann, and you’ve met The Professor and Gilligan… Gilligan? Gilligan?” Gilligan comes out from the jungle, completely dirty. Gilligan tells everyone he’s going to go change clothes.<\/p>\n
9:34 pm \u2013 Mary Ann excuses herself and comes back in a moment. Mary Ann says, “I made a coconut pie. Would you like some?” She offers some to Jack, who declines. She offers some to Bill. Mr. Howell rolls his eyes; Skipper makes cutting motions across his neck and shakes his head.<\/p>\n
The Professor pulls Jack aside and says, “We’ve eaten coconut for years here. Every way you can imagine. Diced, sliced, boiled, broiled, baked, toasted…. I think the strain of being on this island and eating so much of it, she finally cracked. She’s been making eighteen coconut pies a day for the last three weeks.”<\/p>\n
9:35 pm \u2013 Gilligan comes walking out of his hut, wearing exactly the style of clothes as he was wearing before. He sees the questioning look on Bill’s face, and Gilligan tells him he has twenty sets of the exact same clothes. Bill says that he thinks it’s a little weird that everyone seems to have packed clothes for a three-hour tour, and Gilligan says he never thought of that before.<\/p>\n
9:36 pm \u2013 Gilligan tells Chloe, “I gave the Geiger counter to that friend of yours just now. He was in there looking for it when I went in to change clothes, and I gave it to him.” <\/p>\n
Chloe says, “Geiger counter? Where did you get a Geiger counter?” <\/p>\n
The Professor explains that he made it from things he found on the island, and then says, “Wait a second… What friend?”<\/p>\n
9:37 pm \u2013 Gilligan says, “The Chinese guy that was with the rest of these people! He came up to me and asked for it, so I gave it to him.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jack tells Bill, \u201cI want a perimeter around this entire camp now!\u201d Bill, Morris and Chloe run off into the jungle.<\/p>\n
About thirty seconds later, Chloe slowly comes walking back. \u201cJack, I know I\u2019m not as experienced as you and everything, but \u2026 What exactly is a \u2018perimeter\u2019?\u201d<\/p>\n
Jack thinks about it a minute. \u201cIt\u2019s when you surround an area to make sure that no one can get in or out of it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Chloe asks, \u201cAnd just how are we going to do that with three people?\u201d<\/p>\n
9:38 pm – Jack looks at the ground, \u201cYou know, I never thought of that\u2026 But that\u2019s not important now. What is important is we have to follow Cheng and find out what he wants with that Geiger counter.\u201d <\/p>\n
Jack turns to Gilligan, \u201cWhat did this guy look like? Old guy? Trench coat?\u201d<\/p>\n
Gilligan replies, \u201cNo, he didn\u2019t look like an old guy or like a trench coat. He was a young guy, dressed all in black. Nice guy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mary Ann says, \u201cI offered him a piece of pie!\u201d<\/p>\n
Jack says, \u201cWhat? More people saw him? Didn\u2019t you think this was the least bit strange?\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr. Howell says, \u201cNow see here, young man. What was your name?\u201d<\/p>\n
Jack says, \u201cBauer. Jack Bauer.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mrs. Howell says, \u201cThurston, didn\u2019t we know a Bauer in the Hamptons? Tall man?\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr. Howell says, \u201cNo, Lovey, that was Doris Bauer. She was one of our cooks.\u201d<\/p>\n
She thinks about this a minute, \u201cOh, yes! She made those delightful little cookies we had at tea.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mary Ann volunteers, \u201cI can make you some coconut cookies!\u201d<\/p>\n
Jack says, \u201cI need everyone to get ready! It\u2019s not safe here! We\u2019re going after them, and you\u2019re coming with me!\u201d<\/p>\n
Commercial<\/p>\n
9:45 pm \u2013 Jack, Chloe, Bill and Morris are all sitting at the picnic table waiting for everyone else to get ready. Jack finally yells, \u201cWe\u2019re leaving!\u201d<\/p>\n
Everyone comes out of their huts, but wearing completely different clothes. The Skipper and Gilligan are wearing grass skirts and tribal make up; The Professor is wearing a Sherlock Holmes outfit; Ginger is wearing a trenchcoat and a hat; Mary Ann is wearing a bikini and holding a coconut pie.<\/p>\n
Jack asks, \u201cWhy are all of you dressed like that? Where are Mr. and Mrs. Howell?\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr. and Mrs. Howell come driving up in a golf cart, made entirely out of bamboo, palm fronds, and coconuts. They\u2019re wearing explorer\u2019s outfits.<\/p>\n
Morris says, \u201cA golf cart? Where did you find a golf cart?\u201d<\/p>\n
The professor says, \u201cWell, I made it of course!\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris tells him, \u201cLook, if you can make all these huts, a Geiger counter, and a golf cart of out things you get from the island, don\u2019t you think you\u2019d be able to figure out how to get off this island?\u201d<\/p>\n
The Professor just stares at Morris and then says, \u201cI\u2019m not sure I see your point\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris looks at Chloe, who shrugs. Morris throws up hands in frustration, \u201cIf they just\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n
A gunshot rings out. Everyone looks to see Jack standing on the picnic table, pointing the gun he just fired straight up. Jack says, \u201cEnough of this! We\u2019re supposed to be after dangerous Chinese terrorists! We need to get after them right now! Gilligan, which way did that guy leave?\u201d <\/p>\n
Gilligan says, \u201cHe asked where the lagoon was.\u201d He points into the jungle. Jack hops down off the picnic table, and runs off.<\/p>\n
Mary calls after him, \u201cI\u2019ll save you a piece of pie!\u201d<\/p>\n
Chloe, Morris and Bill run after Jack. The castaways decide to follow.<\/p>\n
Mrs. Howell says, \u201cHe seems like such an angry man. I\u2019m going to have to speak to Doris about him. \u201d<\/p>\n
9:48 pm \u2013 Jack continues to run through the jungle and trips over some branches. He looks for his gun briefly, and finds it. He finally reaches the lagoon. Across the lagoon, two men are standing at the shoreline over something that looks like piece of sheet metal. One of the men is soaking wet, the other is holding what looks like a couple of coconuts. They don\u2019t notice Jack as he starts to make his way around to their side of the lagoon.<\/p>\n
9:51 pm \u2013 There\u2019s a splash in the water, and two more men in scuba gear surface. Both of them are holding some electronic equipment. They yell something in Chinese to the men on the shoreline. The two men on the shore look up to respond, and one of them sees Jack!<\/p>\n
9:53 pm \u2013 Jack tries to shoot the guys on shore, but they duck for cover. Next he tries to shoot the guys in the water, and this time he\u2019s more successful. One of Jack\u2019s shots hits the pillar valve on one of the tanks and it breaks off. The guy still attached to this does some impromptu body surfing to the opposite side of the lagoon and into the jungle. The other scuba driver has gone underwater.<\/p>\n
9:55 pm \u2013 Bill, Morris, Chloe and the castaways arrive at the lagoon. Jack tells everyone to take cover. They all hide behind trees. The Professor peaks out from around the tree and says, \u201cThat\u2019s scrap from the space capsule that blew up! We were going to use it to be rescued!\u201d<\/p>\n
The scuba diver that hid underwater has made his way over to the other side of the lagoon, and the two men are trying to help him out of the water, all while Jack is shooting. One of them is hit, and falls to the ground. The other pulls out a walkie-talkie, and frantically yells into it.<\/p>\n
9:58 pm \u2013 Jack has nearly made it to them now, and tells them to drop their weapons and kneel on the ground. The man with the walkie-talkie laughs. There\u2019s a bright flash of light and a loud noise. Gilligan yells that Jack and the Chinese men are gone! Everyone looks around, and they see that Bill, Chloe and Morris are gone too. Ginger mutters, \u201cWe\u2019re never going to get off this island!\u201d Mary Ann offers everyone some pie.<\/p>\n
9:59 pm \u2013 A dark room. It\u2019s completely silent, until we hear Chloe say, \u201cIs anyone there?\u201d<\/p>\n
10:00 pm \u2013 Time\u2019s up!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
