The following takes place between 2:00am and 2:04am. Boop! Boop! Boop! Beep!
Props to K1 and Gibster for helping come up with this bit:
FADE IN:
EXT. LOS ANGELES - NIGHT
A black Suburban cruises down a street. It hesitates at an intersection, then pulls a u-turn.
INT. SUBURBAN - CONTINUOUS
JACK BAUER is behind the wheel, peering out the windows as he drives. He's not sure where he is. He opens his cell phone, hits a button, and:
INT. CTU - SAME TIME (INTERCUT)
The phone rings on CHLOE's desk. She answers.
CHLOE: Hello?
JACK: Chloe, it's me, Jack.
CHLOE: Jack? Where are you?
JACK: I'm not sure. I need your help. I'm trying to get to Temple and Beverly, but I don't know where I am...
CHLOE: I'm pinpointing your location...
As she talks, Chloetypes furiously and we see a satellite image of Jack's Suburban on the road.
CHLOE (cont'd): I'm going to send the mapquest instructions to your cell, Jack.
JACK: No, there's no time. I printed some mapquest AND yahoo! directions before I left CTU. They're both wrong.
CHLOE: But Jack --
JACK: Hurry, Chloe! There isn't much time!
Chloe spins her chair around and yells across the room to EDGAR.
CHLOE (annoyed): Edgar! (ROLLS EYES) EDGAR!!!
EDGAR (annoyed): What?
CHLOE (annoyed): You have to hack into On-star's mainframe.
EDGAR (annoyed): Why?
CHLOE (annoyed; rolls eyes): Because I said so.
EDGAR (annoyed): I can't just do that, Chloe.
Chloe gets out of her seat and scurries to Edgar's work station, glancing towards BUCHANAN as she walks.
CHLOE (really annoyed; rolling eyes a lot): Edgar, Jack's in trouble.
EDGAR (slightly less annoyed, but still a little): Jack? Why didn't you just say that.
CHLOE (annoyed): Because! Now go to On-star. Just do it, okay?
EDGAR (back to being annoyed): Fine!
Chloe hurries back to her workstation.
JACK: Chloe, are you there?
CHLOE: Yes, Jack. Edgar's getting into on-star's system.
JACK: Good.
EDGAR: I'm in.
CHLOE: Now interrupt one of the phone calls and link the On-star operator with Jack's car.
EDGAR (annoyed): But they're all helping people.
CHLOE (annoyed): Just do it!
EDGAR (annoyed): But this lady is helping this old guy unlock his car. He locked his keys and himself inside the car.
CHLOE (rolls eyes): That makes no sense.
EDGAR (annoyed): I know, but that's what's happening.
CHLOE (annoyed; hisses): Edgar!
EDGAR (annoyed) Fine.
ON-STAR OPERATOR: ... now your car will be unlocked in -- wait... hello?
JACK: Hello, this is Jack Bauer, I am a member of CTU. I need your help.
ON-STAR OPERATOR: I was just helping --
JACK: This is a matter of national security, WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME!!!
ON-STAR OPERATOR: Yes, Mr. Bauer. What can I do for you?
JACK: I need to get to Temple and Beverly.
ON-STAR OPERATOR: Okay, sir. Here's what you do. Go left on Vermont. After about one mile north, you'll hit Beverly. Go right, and at the light go through it, but veer to your left. Temple gies up and over Beverly, which has turned into Silverlake Blvd.
JACK: Thank you.
Jack hangs up.
JACK: Thanks, Chloe.
CHLOE: Sure, Jack. (beat) Where are you going?
JACK: There's a gas station there that has unleaded for $2.11 a gallon. $2.11!!! That's $0.20 cheaper than anywhere else I've seen in LA.
CHLOE: Be careful Jack.
JACK: I will. Over.
Jack hangs up.
EDGAR (annoyed): Buchanan better not find out about this.
Chloe rolls her eyes as we...
FADE OUT.
