As the eleventh season begins, rumours are running rampant around camp.
One rumour has everyone believing that Marilyn Monroe is going to pay
the 4077 a special visit, while another claims that the peace talks are
finally making headway. This second rumour gets Margaret thinking after
Charles mentions how a Los Angeles skyscraper had a time capsule built
into its cornerstone. Although he thinks the idea is insane, Margaret
decides to make a time capsule of her own to bury in camp. “We could
put something in the ground to remind people we were here,” she
suggested. With Hawkeye’s help, items from around camp are gathered up
for the capsule: a chopper’s broken fan belt, Radar’s teddy bear, one
of Henry Blake’s fishing flies, a bottle of Charles’s cognac and Father
Mulcahy’s boxing gloves.
And, finally, the gang of the 4077 hears the announcement they’ve been waiting for:
“This is Robert Pierpoint speaking to you from nearby Panmunjom. It is
one minute before ten p.m. We can still hear the sound of nearby
artillery. At some point during the next few seconds, the guns should
go silent, as the cease-fire officially goes into effect... There it
is. That’s the sound of peace.”
