\n24 \u2013 Two Days Later \u2013 Hour 18<\/p>\n
The following takes place between 12 noon and 1 pm.<\/p>\n
12:00 noon \u2013 Jack, Chloe, Morris and Bill stand on a sidewalk on a busy street, near a residential neighborhood. There are quite a few vintage cars driving past, and the kids in the cars are celebrating a high school football win. They\u2019re yelling as they drive past. People on the sidewalk are looking nervously at the cars and at Jack and company.<\/p>\n
Jack is very frustrated, \u201cI\u2019m beginning to think we\u2019re never going to get these guys. I had him pinned to the ground! I almost had an answer out of him!\u201d<\/p>\n
12:01 pm – Bill looks around, and points to the house they\u2019re standing in front of. \u201cWhere to next? In there?\u201d<\/p>\n
A lady who is walking past at that moment can\u2019t help herself, and tells Bill. \u201cExcuse me, but I don\u2019t think you want to go in there. There\u2019s something wrong with that family. They associate with hoodlums!\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris says, \u201cHoodlums? Who uses the word \u2018hoodlums\u2019 anymore?\u201d<\/p>\n
Bill says, \u201cI like it. It\u2019s a fun word. Hoodlum. Hoodlum \u2013 hoodlum. Hoodlum, hoodlum, hoodlum\u2026\u201d.<\/p>\n
Chloe says, \u201cStop it, Mr. Excitement. Let the lady finish\u2026 Go ahead ma\u2019am.\u201d<\/p>\n
The lady continues, \u201cI think they\u2019re over protective of their children too\u2026 Not that it\u2019s bad to do that in this day and age, but those children been in that high school forever!\u201d She lowers her voice, \u201cand then there\u2019s the matter of the older son that disappeared\u2026 No one knows what happened to him!\u201d She shutters.<\/p>\n
Jack says, \u201cUm\u2026 Ok, ma\u2019am. Thanks!\u201d The lady leaves. Jack whispers, \u201cLet\u2019s go up to the house anyway\u201d, as they watch her turn the corner down the street.<\/p>\n
12:05 pm – They walk up to the door and ring the doorbell. A man answers the door and says, \u201cWow! You people are quick! They told me on the phone it might take a couple of hours! My name is Howard Cunningham, this is my wife Marion, and this is my son Richie.\u201d <\/p>\n
Marion says, \u201cOh, hello! We\u2019re so worried! Richard\u2019s friend is in such trouble! Howard, you tell them!\u201d<\/p>\n
Howard says, \u201cRichie got a phone call from Potsie down at Arnold\u2019s. Richie said Fonzie is down there trying to organize people to go get his friend Shirley. He said the she was kidnapped! \u201c<\/p>\n
Marion says, \u201cI\u2019m so worried about Richard and Arthur! They\u2019re going to do something rash! I just know it!\u201d <\/p>\n
Jack says, \u201cWait, wait, wait\u2026 Let me get this straight, Arthur went to Arnold\u2019s house to help Richie, \u2018Potsie\u2019, and \u2018Fonzie\u2019 find Shirley? What\u2019s a Potsie and a Fonzie? They sound like hamster names\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Marion says, \u201cOh, don\u2019t say that. Arthur wouldn\u2019t like that. \u2018Fonzie\u2019 is Arthur Fonzarelli\u2019s nickname. All the kids down at the high school call him that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Chloe looks at Richie, \u201cWait\u2026 You\u2019re in high school? You\u2019re kidding right? You must be at least 25 years old!\u201d<\/p>\n
Richie ignores this and answer\u2019s Jack\u2019s question, \u201c\u2019Arnold\u2019s\u2019 isn\u2019t\u2019 someone\u2019s house, it\u2019s a drive-in.\u201d<\/p>\n
12:08 pm – Jack tells Howard and Marion, \u201cOK, listen: I want you two to stay here. If this is who I think it is, we\u2019ve been after these people for a long time now. Your son will be safe with us. We\u2019re going over to Arnold\u2019s to check on this.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bill interrupts, \u201cI have a question. This \u2018Arnold\u2019 you\u2019re talking about\u2026 This wouldn\u2019t happen to be a pig, would it?\u201d<\/p>\n
Commercial<\/p>\n
12:13 pm – It\u2019s very crowded at Arnold\u2019s drive-in, and there\u2019s a lot of celebrating about the football game. A young man with black hair talks on the phone. \u201cI\u2019m telling you, I checked! There\u2019s no one here with that name!\u201d He hangs up, and goes into the men\u2019s room.<\/p>\n
Richie arrives at Arnold\u2019s with Chloe, Jack, Morris, and Bill. He says, \u201cFonzie is probably in his office.\u201d He points at the men\u2019s bathroom. Chloe tells them that she\u2019s going to go take a look around outside.<\/p>\n
Bill says, \u201cAn office in a bathroom? Is this \u2018Fonzie\u2019 some kind of janitor?\u201d<\/p>\n
Everyone in the restaurant stops, and gasps. Richie says, \u201cDon\u2019t let him hear you say that!\u201d He walks to the bathroom door and knocks. <\/p>\n
A voice from inside the bathroom says, \u201cEnter-a-mundo!\u201d<\/p>\n
12:16 pm – They walk into the bathroom where they see three young men. Richie speaks to one wearing a leather jacket. \u201cFonzie! Jack, this is Fonzie, Ralph and Potsie. These people are from the FBI! They\u2019re here to help get Shirley back!\u201d<\/p>\n
Jack speaks up, \u201cWe\u2019re not from the FBI, we\u2019re from CTU. I\u2019m Jack Bauer. We believe that the people holding your friend are people we\u2019ve been after for quite some time. I think we should handle this.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fonzie steps forward, \u201cCTU? Never heard of it. Did Officer Kirk put you up to this?\u201d<\/p>\n
Jack looks astonished. \u201cKirk? There\u2019s no way you could know anything about a star ship\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fonzie looks at the others young men with him, \u201cYou see? It\u2019s just like Kirk to come in here and throw his weight around.\u201d He comes over to Jack, and pokes him in the chest. \u201cYou nerds tell Kirk to sit on it! We\u2019ll handle this ourselves, at least until the real FBI shows up.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jack says, \u201cNow listen, you\u2026\u201d and pokes Fonzie in HIS chest.<\/p>\n
Fonzie\u2019s reaction is immediate; he steps back and says, \u201cAaaaaye! No one touches The Fonz\u2019s jacket!\u201d <\/p>\n
Richie says, \u201cFonz! He didn\u2019t know! Ralph! Potsie! Tell him!\u201d<\/p>\n
Ralph says, \u201cHe\u2019s right, nobody touches The Fonz\u2019s jacket. \u201c<\/p>\n
Potsie agrees, \u201cYeah, nobody!\u201d<\/p>\n
Richie says, \u201cFonz, we have to concentrate on finding Shirley.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fonzie looks at Jack, and then back at Richie. \u201cYou\u2019re right. I\u2019ll let it slide\u2026THIS time. We still have to get that phone call, and then we can go get Shirley. We need to find out if anyone\u2019s seen anything.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bill asks Ralph, \u201cSo, what\u2019s with \u2018Potsie\u2019? What kind of name is that?\u201d<\/p>\n
12:20 pm – They walk out into the restaurant area, and a woman with a large L on her sweater runs up to Fonzie, very upset about her friend Shirley. Fonzie tells her, \u201cLaverne, we\u2019ll get Shirley back. Don\u2019t worry.\u201d<\/p>\n
The phone outside the bathroom rings, and Potsie answers it. \u201cNo! For the hundredth time! You have the wrong number!\u201d<\/p>\n
12:22 pm – The noise in the restaurant is very loud as people continue to celebrate the football game victory. Richie says, \u201cHow are we going to get them to quiet down?\u201d Fonzie snaps his fingers. Everyone immediately goes quiet, and the only thing playing is the juke box. Fonzie steps up to the jukebox, blows on his fist, and hits it. It turns off.<\/p>\n
Fonzie says, \u201cListen up! This Jack Bauer! He\u2019s here to help me find Shirley Feeney! Tell us if anyone has heard anything about what happened to Shirley.\u201d<\/p>\n
No one moves.<\/p>\n
12:23 pm – Jack says, \u201cThis is very important. We believe that the people who took your friend are dangerous criminals. If you\u2019ve seen anything suspicious, you have to tell us.\u201d<\/p>\n
Two greasers walk into the room, one short and one tall. The short one says a very nasally, \u201cHello!\u201d<\/p>\n
Laverne says, \u201cLenny and Squiggy! Get out of here!\u201d <\/p>\n
Lenny says, \u201cShirley said you would say that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Laverne quickly says, \u201cShirl? Where is she? Is she OK?\u201d<\/p>\n
Squiggy says, \u201cShe\u2019s fine. She said she wants to meet us at the abandoned\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris says, \u201cWarehouse?\u201d<\/p>\n
Lenny says, \u201cNo, Mister Smarty-Pants! It\u2019s the abandoned brewery. She said that Fonzie, Laverne, Squiggy and I are the only people that should come. She said that if they see anyone not matching our descriptions, they\u2019re going to hurt her!\u201d<\/p>\n
Fonzie says, \u201cWe\u2019ll have to get going. I\u2019m getting my bike.\u201d He starts to head out the door, but turns to the juke box.<\/p>\n
Jack says, \u201cAllow me.\u201d He walks up to the jukebox, leans over and snarls. It turns back on. They head out to the parking lot.<\/p>\n
12:26 pm – Out in the parking lot, Fonzie sees Chloe sitting on his motorcycle. He tells Jack, \u201cChicks dig my bike.\u201d He walks over to Chloe and says, \u201cI see you like my bike.\u201d<\/p>\n
Chloe looks at him, and says, \u201cYeah! It\u2019s a classic! I wish I had one of these.\u201d Fonzie snaps his fingers, but nothing happens. Chloe stares at him, unimpressed. He snaps them again, and looks at Chloe. She gets an incredulous look on her face and snaps her fingers back at him. Potsie and Ralph run to Chloe\u2019s side. Jack turns to Chloe, and asks her to get off the motorcycle, which she does.<\/p>\n
Fonzie gets on this motorcycle, and Ralph and Richie drive everyone to the abandoned brewery in their cars. Jack tells Richie to stop the car about a block away and tells everyone, \u201cThis is going to be really dangerous, but I have a plan. Ralph, Richie\u2026 You two set up a perimeter. Everyone else into the alley.\u201d<\/p>\n
Commercial<\/p>\n
12:33 pm – Richie and Ralph wait next to their cars which are parked next to an alley. Fonzie\u2019s voice comes out of the alley, \u201cI\u2019m only letting you borrow that because you\u2019re helping get Shirley back.\u201d <\/p>\n
Squiggy says, \u201cYeah, me too!\u201d<\/p>\n
Jack, Morris and Bill all walk out of the alley together. Morris says, \u201cI feel ridiculous.\u201d He\u2019s wearing Squiggy\u2019s clothes and Bill is wearing Lenny\u2019s clothes! Jack is wearing Fonzie\u2019s leather jacket, and his hair is slicked back. <\/p>\n
Jack turns back to the alley and says, \u201cJust stay low. We\u2019ll be back in no time.\u201d<\/p>\n
12:35 pm – Chloe walks out of another alley, a little further down the street. She\u2019s wearing Laverne\u2019s \u201cL\u201d sweater. She walks up to Jack and says, \u201cI feel like an idiot.\u201d<\/p>\n
Squiggy yells from the alley, \u201cHello! Did someone just call me?\u201d<\/p>\n
Chloe walks up to Richie and looks at him carefully. She finally realizes what\u2019s been bothering her. \u201cYou\u2019re that kid! From Mayberry!\u201d<\/p>\n
Richie looks very startled to hear her say that. \u201cI have no idea what you\u2019re talking about.\u201d<\/p>\n
Chloe says, \u201cSure! You\u2019re that kid! Opus, or something like that!\u201d<\/p>\n
12:37 pm – Jack tells everyone to quiet down. They head down the block to the abandoned brewery, which has a large \u201cAbandoned Brewery\u201d sign on it.<\/p>\n
Morris says, \u201cAlways the same.\u201d<\/p>\n
12:38 pm – They enter the brewery, and it\u2019s very dark. The move further into the building, and someone knocks a bottle over. Lights turn on in part of building, and we can clearly see a young woman being held by one of the terrorists up on a walkway. Jack and the others are somewhat visible, but are still in a dark area, so you can see their clothes, but not their faces.<\/p>\n
Shirley screams, \u201cFonzie! Help!\u201d<\/p>\n
The man tightens his grasp on her and tells her to shut up. He yells, \u201cArthur Fonzarelli, did you bring the others?\u201d<\/p>\n
Jack hesitates and whispers, \u201cWhat was his nickname again?\u201d<\/p>\n
Bill whispers back, \u201cFonzie!\u201d<\/p>\n
Jack tries to disguise his voice, \u201cUm\u2026 Yo!\u201d He coughs, \u201cI mean Aaaaaaye! This is The Fonzie!\u201d<\/p>\n
Jack mutters to the others, \u201cSay something!\u201d <\/p>\n
Bill changes his voice and says, \u201cHi there!\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris doesn\u2019t even attempt to change is voice, \u201cGreetings.\u201d Chloe punches him in the stomach with her elbow. This time he changes his voice, \u201cUh \u2026. Hello\u2026. ?\u201d<\/p>\n
Chloe says, \u201cEr, Yo, Shirley Feeney!\u201d<\/p>\n
Jack quickly tries to cover up these awkward greetings by saying, \u201cThe Fonzie is listening.\u201d<\/p>\n
12:42 pm – The man squints for a moment, as if trying to process all this, and then says, \u201cOne of the four of you is going to be to be contacted by a man named Jack. I want you to make up some excuse to bring him here. Once I get him and bring him to my boss, you can have the girl.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jack coughs and says, \u201cAaaaaye! The Fonzie wants to know, why do you want this Jack Bauer so much?\u201d<\/p>\n
The man says, \u201cThat\u2019s none of your\u2026. Wait a minute! I didn\u2019t say anything about his last name\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
12:45 pm – Jack realizes his mistake and grabs a nearby beer bottle. He throws it at the man. Shirley ducks in time, and the bottle hits the man in the head. He loses his grip, and falls backwards into an empty beer vat. Shirley makes a run for it out of the building, yelling \u201cLaverne! Let\u2019s get out of here!\u201d<\/p>\n
Jack runs up the stairs to the walkway, and looks down. The man has disappeared!<\/p>\n
Commercial<\/p>\n
12:51 pm – Back at Arnold\u2019s, everyone celebrates because Shirley is safe and sound. Fonzie snaps his fingers, and two girls run to him. He puts both his thumbs up, and walks out with them. Bill looks around and snaps his fingers, but nothing happens. He continues to try and do that.<\/p>\n
Chloe, Morris, and Jack sit at a table, drinking milk shakes. Jack pounds the table.<\/p>\n
Chloe says, \u201cJack, I know you\u2019re frustrated.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jack says, \u201cI am, but it\u2019s not that\u2026. Ice cream headache!\u201d He holds his forehead. \u201cOne lousy beer bottle! That\u2019s all it took to get that guy! I haven\u2019t interrogated or nearly killed anyone in hours now! I\u2019m going to get rusty!\u201d Chloe pats him on the back trying to reassure him.<\/p>\n
Morris says, \u201cEvery time we get close enough to these terrorists, they slip through our fingers. We\u2019ve never spent more than an hour in any of these places, and,\u201d he looks at his watch, \u201cthat hour is about over. What do we do? How are we supposed to get these terrorists?\u201d<\/p>\n
12:53 pm – Jack says, \u201cWe have to get the jump on them. Trap them somehow. They want to get me out of the way. They didn\u2019t know we were going to be here to screw up their plans, and they\u2019re reacting accordingly.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bill agrees, \u201cOne of them said earlier that they were going to get rid of you. How did they expect to do that?\u201d<\/p>\n
Chloe says, \u201cWell, let\u2019s look at the facts. They\u2019ve been going after various items in all these places. It\u2019s hard to tell if they\u2019ve been successful, because we\u2019ve thwarted some of their plans. It really bothers me that they were going after those nuclear power plant plans.\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris says, \u201cI agree, but what were they going to do with that giant robotic squirrel? And that last place we were in\u2026 Why did they need those boxes of paper? Surely they could have gotten other boxes?\u201d<\/p>\n
Shirley turns around and says, \u201cWhat? Did someone just call me?\u201d<\/p>\n
12:55 pm – The phone rings, and Potsie goes to answer it.<\/p>\n
Jack says, \u201cYes, I believe they could have gotten other boxes, but there\u2019s something about that particular paper they wanted.\u201d<\/p>\n
12:56 pm – From across the room, Potsie yells into the phone, \u201cFor the last time, you have the wrong number! There\u2019s no one named Chloe here!\u201d<\/p>\n
Jack jumps up, \u201cWait! That phone call was for us!\u201d <\/p>\n
He runs to the phone, and Chloe, Bill and Morris follow him, trying to listen in. He says, \u201cThis is Jack Bauer! Who is this?\u201d<\/p>\n
The voice on the other end of the phone says, \u201cJack! It\u2019s Fenster! I\u2019ve been trying to reach you for hours!\u201d<\/p>\n
Jack says, \u201cWhen are the reinforcements going to arrive?\u201d<\/p>\n
Fensters pauses, \u201cUh\u2026 Reinforcements? I\u2019ve been trying to get this phone working for the last couple of hours. I\u2019ll get in touch with them. Jack, I\u2019ve been able to watch what you\u2019ve been doing on a computer monitor here. It\u2019s like watching TV!\u201d<\/p>\n
Jack says, \u201cFenster, listen carefully you have to\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
12:59 pm – There\u2019s a flash of light.<\/p>\n
Jack, Chloe, Morris and Bill are standing on a very tall scaffold, next to what looks like the tip of a rocket.<\/p>\n
1:00 pm – Time\u2019s up!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
