24 \u2013 Two Days Later \u2013 Hour 6<\/p>\n

The following takes place between 12 midnight and 1 am<\/p>\n

12:00 am \u2013 The man in the Ferrari looks very impatient. He keeps looking around, as if he expects someone to see them. Jack stands up, and walks to the Ferrari. He asks, \u201cWho are you, and why should I get in this car?\u201d The man says, \u201cDidn\u2019t they tell you anything? The name\u2019s Sonny Crockett, I\u2019m with Miami Vice. Now GET IN BEFORE SOMEONE STARTS SHOOTING!\u201d Jack jumps into the car without opening the door first. They speed off.<\/p>\n

As they speed off, loud music starts playing. Jack looks around and realize that the car itself is playing music as they drive<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Crockett continues, \u201cWhat\u2019s the matter? Haven\u2019t you been briefed? Lt. Castillo must be losing his touch.\u201d <\/p>\n

Jack says, \u201cLook, I\u2019ve had a hard day, and I need to find my friends. We got separated.\u201d Jack looks down at the Klingon knife he\u2019s holding. \u201cIt\u2019s been a weird day.\u201d Jack looks up, and the sun is high in the sky. Jack looks at his watch, and according to it, it\u2019s \u201c12:00 am\u201d. He says, \u201cI don\u2019t even know what the time really is.\u201d Jack holds the knife up to examine the handle.<\/p>\n

Crockett says, \u201cPut that away.\u201d He looks at his watch. \u201cIt\u2019s 7:00pm. My regular partner is on vacation, and I\u2019m supposed to be too. We\u2019re running low on man power, and they asked me to fill in. We just have just make a routine stop. You\u2019re just there to back me up in case something goes wrong.\u201d They continue to drive. He tells Jack, \u201cYou sure dress funny. How long have you lived in South Florida? Don\u2019t you know we have a dress code here?\u201d<\/p>\n

12:02 am \u2013 In a neighborhood somewhere in Miami, there\u2019s a party going on in the back of someone\u2019s home. Everyone is dressed in Miami style clothing, so there\u2019s more than enough pink and turquoise to go around. <\/p>\n

(Yes, that does describe nearly ALL of Miami, but in this particular case many famous authors are there. How famous? REALLY famous. So famous you wouldn\u2019t believe it. Let\u2019s put in this way: Shakespeare would be right at home\u2026 if he dressed in a white suit and pink shirt. You get the idea).<\/p>\n

Some people dressed in black make their way along the side of the house, out of view of the people in the backyard. They come across an open window, and climb inside of the house.
\n
\n12:04 am \u2013 Crockett turns onto a side street and parks the car in front of the very same house the men just broke into. He and Jack get out of the car, and walk up to the front door. Crockett rings the doorbell, but no one answers. They hear a party going on in the backyard, and walk around the back. They walk right by the window that the men just climbed through. One of the men watches as Crockett and Jack walk by. He turns and tells the rest of the men to hurry up. They bring a safe into the room, and start to climb out the window. They hand the safe through the window.<\/p>\n

12:05 am \u2013 There are many people in the back yard, and various conversations are going on. One man says, \u201cSo, I walk in to the movie, and it turns out it wasn\u2019t \u2018Ghost Writer\u2019 after all, it was \u2018Ghost Rider\u2019! What kind of writing movie is that?\u201d The woman he\u2019s talking to says, \u201cWell, after Steve\u2019s \u2018Misery\u2019, I\u2019m not sure I WANT to see another movie about writers!\u201d<\/p>\n

Crockett seems to know where he\u2019s going, so Jack just follows along. Crockett walks up to a man that\u2019s dress remarkably like himself: White jacket, white pants, and turquoise t-shirt<\/a>. Neither one of them seems to find this strange, or at least if they do, they\u2019re not letting on. Crockett holds up a badge and says, \u201cExcuse me, are you Dave Barry?\u201d<\/p>\n

The man turns and says, \u201cYes. Can I help you?\u201d<\/p>\n

Crockett says, \u201cMr. Barry, as you know\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

A woman in another part of the yard interrupts by tapping on a glass, and says, \u201cExcuse me! Excuse me, everyone! I\u2019d like to propose a toast! We\u2019re all here to help Dave celebrate his birthday, and to help celebrate his new book, \u2018Dave Barry Turns MUCH, MUCH older than 50\u2019. I think Dave deserves a round of applause. Be sure and clap loudly so he\u2019ll be able to hear it.\u201d<\/p>\n

12:08 am – Everyone starts to clap, and the woman goes into the house. She comes back with a group of women holding a birthday cake<\/a>. People start to sing \u201cHappy Birthday\u201d, when there\u2019s a loud crash from inside the house. A few of the guests run inside, along with Dave to investigate what happened. At first everyone thinks it was just a stack of cartons for all the candles they used for the cake, but they realize that the front door is open. Dave rushes into his office, and immediately runs back out. He yells, \u201cSomeone stole the safe!\u201d<\/p>\n

12:09 am \u2013 Crockett grabs a nearby telephone, and dials. \u201cThis is Crockett. I have a break-in and theft to report!\u201d<\/p>\n

COMMERCIAL BREAK \u2013 AND NOW A WORD FROM OUR SPECIAL SPONSORS<\/p>\n

“Hi, I’m celebrity spokesperson, Wilford Brimley. Extreme cleavage may be fun for most, but for the elderly, it’s a serious threat. All that extra weight up front adds up to pounds of trouble for the balance-impaired.”<\/p>\n


\n“Help – I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!”<\/a><\/p>\n

“That’s why I’m here to tell you about the Victoria’s Secret\/Life Alert Miracle Bra<\/a>. When a victim is upended, sensors built into the bra’s underwires can alert local law enforcement and rescue services, averting possible tragedy and embarrassment.<\/p>\n

“The Life Alert Miracle bra is also available for overly endowed men, very handy for that walk home from the bar when you somehow end up face first in a ditch. Which is why I wear one too<\/a>.” <\/p>\n

MORE AFTER THIS VERY SPECIAL COMMERCIAL BREAK<\/p>\n

The following commercial is close-captioned for the drinking-impaired:<\/p>\n

Beer….beer…..beer…..<\/a> ….pretty beer…..shiny beer<\/a>….more beer……….beer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

WE NOW RETURN YOU TO OUR THE STUFF THAT HAPPENS BETWEEN COMMERCIALS.<\/p>\n

12:14 am \u2013 Several police cars are parked in the front of the house, while officers in the backyard mill around trying to get autographs from the authors. While this is going on, Jack tells Crockett, \u201cLook, I\u2019ve been chasing some dangerous terrorists…\u201d<\/p>\n

Crockett gets excited, \u201cWait! Are these guys part of a dangerous South American drug cartel?\u201d Jack tells him they aren\u2019t. Crockett snaps his fingers, \u201cOh, man! Too bad! I love chasing after guys that work for dangerous South American drug cartels!\u201d<\/p>\n

Jack says, \u201cListen to me. I\u2019ve been chasing dangerous terrorists, and they keep showing up every place I go\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Crockett interrupts again, \u201cWell, where have you been?\u201d<\/p>\n

Jack says, \u201cWell, less than half an hour ago, I was aboard a space ship\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n

Crockett rolls his eyes, \u201cOoookay then\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jack starts to get irritated, \u201cThat doesn\u2019t matter! Will you just listen?? These guys are after something in each of the places I\u2019ve been so far. I think that whatever is in that safe is part of what they want to get!\u201d<\/p>\n

Crockett says, \u201cYou might be right. You know, we should probably talk to Mr. Barry to find out what\u2019s in that safe.\u201d<\/p>\n

12:17 am \u2013 Crockett finds Dave, who is inside the house, talking to a police officer who is questioning him. Dave says, \u201cLook, it\u2019s NOT a weapon. It\u2019s an oosik. His name is Walter! Look! He even has a tie!\u201d<\/p>\n

Crockett says, \u201cExcuse me officer, we have to question Mr. Barry\u201d. The officer leaves with Walter. Crockett continues, \u201cDo you have any idea why someone would want to steal that safe?\u201d<\/p>\n

Dave says, \u201cMy guess it\u2019s just some people that want a leg up on the Herald Hunt. They\u2019re always searching around for clues. Tom and I had been working on a special clue for this year\u2019s Hunt, and I kept the secret design for it locked in the safe.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jack asks, \u201cHerald Hunt? I went to that last year! Wait\u2026 a secret design? What secret design?\u201d<\/p>\n

Dave continues, \u201cLook, if they really are after the design, we have to get to the warehouse. If they were able to break into the safe, chances are pretty good that\u2019s where they\u2019re headed.\u201d Dave looks at Jack and says, \u201cYou know, you look vaguely familiar\u2026 Have you been on TV?\u201d<\/p>\n

Crockett says, \u201cMr. Barry, I\u2019m going to have to ask you to come with me to the warehouse to see if everything is OK.\u201d Crockett turns to Jack and says, \u201cGo with this officer. He\u2019ll get you there.\u201d Crockett tells an officer to take Jack to the warehouse so they can investigate. Crockett and Dave leave in the Ferrari. <\/p>\n

12:20 am \u2013 The police car drives down the street. Jack catches glimpses of the ocean while he sits impatiently in the front seat. He tries to make small talk with the officer that\u2019s driving. \u201cSo, how many perimeters have you set up this week?\u201d Before the officer has a chance to answer, Jack yells, \u201cPULL OVER NOW!\u201d<\/p>\n

12:21 am \u2013 The police officer is so taken aback that he slams on the brakes, nearly causing an accident. The car stops in front of some people, and it\u2019s Chloe, Morris and Bill! Chloe yells, \u201cJACK!\u201d and runs up to give him a hug. Bill asks, \u201cWhere have you been? We were just down the street from you when a Ferrari drove up and drove off with you! We were wondering how we were going to find you.\u201d<\/p>\n

12:22 am \u2013 Jack explains that they all have to head to a warehouse. Morris says, \u201cA warehouse? ANOTHER warehouse?\u201d Jack tells him that this time it\u2019s not a criminal mastermind warehouse; it\u2019s just a plain warehouse. Morris mutters, \u201cSomehow I doubt that.\u201d They all get into the police car and leave.<\/p>\n

12:23 am \u2013 While they\u2019re driving, Jack says, \u201cChloe, take a look at this.\u201d He pulls the knife from his waist and hands it to her. Chloe asks where he got it from, and Jack says, \u201cWell, that\u2019s the thing\u2026 I got it from about the captain of that Klingon battle cruiser.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chloe looks at it carefully and finally says, \u201cWith all that bouncing around we\u2019ve been doing, it hadn\u2019t occurred to me that we could actually take things from those places with us. Did you bring anything else?\u201d<\/p>\n

Jack thinks for a moment, opens his satchel, looks through it and finally pulls out the phaser. He says, \u201cI wonder if this still works?\u201d Everyone in the back seat ducks, and Bill asks, \u201cWill you just put that away?\u201d<\/p>\n

YET ANOTHER EXCITING COMMERCIAL BREAK<\/p>\n

WOW! THAT WAS QUICK! NOW BACK TO THAT OTHER NON-COMMERCIAL STUFF<\/p>\n

12:28 am \u2013 The police car arrives at a very, very large warehouse. Crockett\u2019s white Ferrari is parked underneath a sign that reads, \u201cNot The Herald Hunt Staging Warehouse\u201d. Dave and Crockett are waiting underneath the sign. Dave says that what they\u2019ve been working on is near the back of the warehouse. He makes them all swear never to reveal the password. They agree. Dave leans over to the lock, which has a microphone attached to a picture of bum in a bus terminal. He says, \u201cThe password is \u2018Booger\u2019\u201d. The lock unlocks itself, and they all enter the warehouse.<\/p>\n

12:29 am \u2013 The warehouse is filled with many items from previous Hunt years. As they walk through further inside, they pass a pair of giant dice, stacks of paper with submarines printed on them, mouse costumes, a giant balloon of King Kong, stacks of Tropic Magazines, a giant #13 pool ball, and much more. As they get closer to the middle of the warehouse the rest is completely cleared, except for a huge black curtain about 200 yards away from them. Dave points to a black curtain, \u201cThat\u2019s what we\u2019ve been working on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Morris says, \u201cYou\u2019ve been working on a black curtain?\u201d<\/p>\n

12:30 am \u2013 They hear the noise of an engine starting. A second later a black semi tractor trailer comes barreling out from behind the curtain, headed right for them. The group parts into two as they each dive to the side to avoid being hit by the truck. Jack pulls out his phaser and shoots. The phaser is slightly misaligned because instead of hitting the truck Jack hits the King Kong balloon and vaporizes it. The truck heads straight for the warehouse doors and breaks through them. Everyone goes running after it, and as they reach the entrance, they see the truck head out onto the street. Crockett runs to his car, and calls for backup and a helicopter. Jack tries to straighten out the phaser for another shot, but can\u2019t do it in time.<\/p>\n

12:31 am \u2013 Dave says, \u201cOh, this is bad\u2026 This is really bad.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chloe asks, \u201c\u2019Bad\u2019 as in \u2018Oh no, my plant died\u2019 bad, or \u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n

Dave says, \u201c\u2019Bad\u2019 as in \u2018Someone just stole a specially-designed-possibly-dangerous-secret-experimental-truck\u2019 bad\u201d.<\/p>\n

Jack turns to Crockett and says, \u201cI\u2019m going to have to take it from here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Announcer: You see! Seniors are on the go with Denture Glue!<\/p>\n

AND NOW BACK TO OUR SHOW!<\/p>\n

12:35 am \u2013 The helicopter Crockett called takes off with everyone aboard. The helicopter is pretty big, but it\u2019s still cramped. The doors on either side of the helicopter are open to the air. Everyone is wearing headsets so they can hear each other.
\nCrockett tells Jack that it\u2019s pretty likely the person in the truck is going to head to I-95 to try and get away. Jack tells the helicopter pilot to head to I-95. Dave tells Jack, \u201cThere\u2019s a special device built into the truck. It uses technology that\u2019s on loan from the University of Miami, and we really need to get it back.\u201d<\/p>\n

Morris asks, \u201cWhat does it do?\u201d<\/p>\n

Dave replies, \u201cI can\u2019t tell you because I\u2019m sworn to secrecy because of the Hunt, but I can tell you we\u2019re going to need to be careful.\u201d<\/p>\n

12:36 am \u2013 The helicopter flies to I-95. Crockett looks out onto the highway, and says, \u201cIt looks like a lot of crazy driving down there. People speeding and guns going off! It looks like a normal day on I-95! Keep going!\u201d<\/p>\n

12:37 am \u2013 Everyone is trying to keep an eye out for the truck, while at the same time trying not to fall out of the helicopter. Dave spots the truck as it\u2019s zigzagging between the other cars on the road. Jack tells the pilot to fly lower.<\/p>\n

12:38 am \u2013The helicopter starts to descend towards truck, and Jack gets into position. Jack tells Bill, \u201cI plan on jumping on to the roof, swing around the passenger side, smash through the window, shoot the driver and take over the truck.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dave\u2019s eyes grow wide, \u201cPlan? That\u2019s a PLAN?\u201d<\/p>\n

Jack looks at Dave, and says, \u201cTrust me.\u201d Jack jumps from the helicopter.<\/p>\n

12:39 am \u2013 Jack lands on the roof of the truck. The man inside of it swerves to try to make Jack fall off, but Jack hangs on. The man pulls out a gun, and shoots through the roof, but he misses Jack completely. Jack moves to the passenger\u2019s side and grabs a silver rail on the roof just as the man inside the cab of the truck presses a button marked \u201cDo Not Press Under ANY Circumstances\u201d.<\/p>\n

12:42 am \u2013 Still traveling at top speed, the truck\u2019s front end lifts so that the front tires are off the road. At the same time, the cab of the truck moves higher into the air. Parts of the side of the semi start to move, slide and rotate around until it doesn\u2019t so much resemble a truck any more\u2026. It has turned into a giant squirrel! The giant robot squirrel continues to run down the road smashing cars out of the way. Jack hangs onto what was once the cab of the truck, but has now turned into the head of the robotic squirrel. They continue speeding down the expressway.<\/p>\n

12:44 am \u2013 Everyone in the helicopter turns to Dave, who shrugs. He says, \u201cHey! We needed something new for the Herald Hunt, and a big rig that transformed into a giant squirrel sounded like a good idea at the time! I didn\u2019t know THIS was going to happen!\u201d<\/p>\n

12:46 am \u2013 Bill yells, \u201cWe have to get Jack out of there! He\u2019s going to be killed!\u201d Chloe punches him in the arm and reminds him that since they\u2019re all wearing headsets that he doesn\u2019t have to yell. Crockett tells the pilot to lower the helicopter so they can grab Jack. Morris finds a rope ladder and throws it over the side. Chloe smacks Morris, tell him, \u201cYou have to ATTACH the rope ladder to the helicopter before you throw it over board!\u201d<\/p>\n

12:48 am \u2013 Jack is having trouble hanging onto the squirrel and slides down from its head to its shoulder before catching himself. Despite the fact that a giant robotic squirrel is running down I-95 few, if any, of the other drivers on the road seem to be disturbed by seeing it. In fact, there are cars tailgating the squirrel, honking their horns, and making obscene gestures in a vain attempt to get the robot to move into a slower lane.<\/p>\n

12:50 am \u2013 Several news crew helicopters are now flying nearby, but keeping their distance. Crockett\u2019s helicopter moves lower towards Jack to stay close in case something happens. Jack pulls out the knife he was carrying, and drives it into the metal shoulder of the robot. Jack uses the knife as a foothold to climb closer to the head of the robot. The man controlling the robot uses the controls to move its arms in an attempt throw Jack off, but the robot\u2019s arms swing and hit the helicopter instead.<\/p>\n

The helicopter lurches to the left and everyone tries to hang on while equipment falls out of the side of the helicopter. Everyone is able to grab onto something except Dave, who goes over the side! Chloe screams!<\/p>\n

12:52 am \u2013 Jack hears the scream and looks up to see Dave hanging on to one of the helicopter\u2019s skids. Dave loses his grip and lands on the squirrel\u2019s back. He grabs some wires to hang on. Jack gets closer to the head of the robot and pulls out his phaser.<\/p>\n

12:53 am – Jack opens the door to see man controlling the robot. The man looks pretty surprised and reaches for his gun. Jack shoots and vaporizes the man AND the driver\u2019s side door of the cab. The robot lurches and starts moving completely out of control. Jack loses his grip on the door and is throw off the squirrel, and into the median. <\/p>\n

Chloe yells something to Dave, but he\u2019s too busy trying to climb up the robot. Dave grabs the knife Jack left in the squirrel\u2019s back and is able to pull himself up the robot\u2019s shoulder. He grabs for a seatbelt that\u2019s swinging outside of the passenger side door, and after two tries catches it. <\/p>\n

12:54 am \u2013 Dave pulls himself up, and climbs into the cab where the control panel is. He presses a few buttons, and the robot starts to slow down. It finally comes to a halt in the left lane of the expressway.<\/p>\n

12:55 am \u2013 The helicopter lands in the median, and news crews are filming Dave as he climbs out of the squirrel and stands on it\u2019s shoulder. Morris, Bill and Chloe get out of the helicopter and run back to check on Jack.. Several other police cars arrive on the scene. Chloe, Morris and Bill reach Jack, who tells them that except for a few scrapes, he\u2019s fine. Crockett climbs onto the squirrel.<\/p>\n

12:57 am \u2013 Crockett climbs on to the squirrel to reach Dave. Crockett pulls out a piece of paper, points to it and says, \u201cMr. Barry, I know you\u2019re turning 60 tomorrow. Under Florida law, that earns a visit from a member of law enforcement to remind you of your duties as a senior citizen.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, ordinarily when you turn sixty, you\u2019re automatically required to do the following: You have to turn in your car for a white Cadillac, which you\u2019re required to drive with five other people at all times; You\u2019re required to have the driver\u2019s side seat lowered so you can barely see over the steering wheel; You have to be on the road by 7 am to slowly driver around town to prevent other people from getting to work; You\u2019re required to eat dinner at 4:30 pm; Your belt has to be raised so it rests in the middle of your chest; You will be given a metal detector which you must use daily on the beach.\u201d <\/p>\n

He continues, \u201cNow, you\u2019ll note that I said \u2018ordinarily\u2019. I think that from what we\u2019ve all witnessed here today, you\u2019ve proven that capable of a lot more than the average person. I\u2019m going to recommend we make you exempt from this law. Maybe we\u2019ll talk about it in another twenty years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Crockett receives a phone call. It\u2019s Lt. Castillo, and he\u2019s mad. Crockett says, \u201cWhat do you mean I didn\u2019t pick up my contact from AARP? I\u2019ve had him with me the whole time! He helped disable the robot! What? If that\u2019s not him, who did I pick up??\u201d<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a bright flash, and when Dave and Crockett turn to see what happened, Chloe, Morris, Bill and Jack are gone.<\/p>\n

12:59 am \u2013 Chloe, Morris, Bill and Jack are now standing in from of a large, very old, mansion. <\/p>\n
