Rose is no where to be found.
There is rioting in the streets.
We are in the Situation Room. Joint Chiefs and some rappers and a pizza delivery boy are all in the room, which is inside a solid wall of electronics blocking apparatus courtesy of DARPA, as well as a bank of televisions monitoring various events around the world.
PRESIDENT RENNER: Ok, tell me what’s happening.
GENERAL AKBAR: Well, the news is reporting a major blackout on the Eastern Coast, impacting New England, the Research Triangle area, and in some reporting, as far South as North — sorry — West Virginia. The media cycle is focusing on the released Fire Island papers, and how the intelligence agencies used Mr. Pink for blackmailing purposes. We don’t know status yet on the next phase of Emerald Beacon. And you’re trending well with fans of Swift.
PRESIDENT RENNER: This is a terrible, terrible scene. Worst scene I’ve ever seen, in fact. It’s just the worst. [walks out of the room] Rachel, please hold all my calls, and cancel the meeting with the Ambassador from Finland. The guy’s a fairy anyway.
RACHEL: …
GONE BABY GONE
We see a satellite image of the Eastern United States. Patches of dark spots among night lights of major cities.
