Things are starting to roll now: Olivia's on her way, using the GPS in her car for directions. Meanwhile, Loeb's crew is setting up by what is presumably the hangar for the air strip. Psst, Olivia! Just look for the building that has "Little Hill Field" in giant letters floating above it! Loeb's men set up the camera/surveying-looking things while Loeb calls out coordinates. "Horizontal angle 33.33 grad," says one of the guys, looking through the lens, which gives some kind of thermal-looking readout. They're good to go, apparently. It's great that these guys are all such experts in using the time-teleportation device that until today none of them had ever seen before. Loeb asks the time, which is 12:30.
When it's 12:30 in Boston, it's 6:30 in Frankfurt, and Kohl shows up as ordered with the appeal for Jones to sign. Except I think there was some sort of miscommunication between Kohl and Jones, because Jones, instead of signing the appeal, snaps Kohl's neck. Interesting appeal strategy. Hey Jonesy: what happens if this escape doesn't work?
While Jones dresses in Kohl's suit -- straightening his tie and taking a couple of pills -- Olivia is still on her way, although she's suddenly being tailgated by a black SUV, which is joined by a couple more at an intersection. They run her off the road, and she tries to flee across a field, but she's shot with what sounds like a Taser or a tranquilizer. Not a bullet, at any rate, and she collapses on the ground. "Target captured," says one of her captors. My theory is that it's just Olivia's friends who are tired of her blowing them off for work, and they're staging an (admittedly violent) intervention.
Loeb watches over his team, which is now using these prong things to suspend a hollow tube over the ground. They're not even checking any kind of manual! Lights start to glow. Jones puts in some eye drops and slathers on some suntan lotion. In Little Hill Field, a giant cylinder of light beams up from the ground as Loeb watches, almost smiling. Also watching are the black-clad dudes who have Olivia, unconscious in the back seat of one of the SUVs. Also watching? THE ENTIRE EASTERN SEABOARD. The light is BRIGHT.
