I'm watching the episode this morning. It's too interesting to ignore.
From the start:
00:02 Shot of a building framework, (allusion to the "framework" of the episode, or to "the plan"?) two crane "BOOMS" form two paths into a large hole
in the center of the framework. (World Trade "CENTER"?) Looks like they could also symbolize the pathways to an incoming attack.
00:04 The "SIGN". (Say no more; nudge nudge, wink wink.)
"Under Construction" - meaning; "the plan"?
"The Odyssey" - Without getting too deep into
The Odyssey, as I haven't read it since 9th grade
English, there are a few notables:
The Odyssey (Greek: Ὀδύσσεια, Odysseia) is one of two major ancient Greek epic poems attributed to Homer. It is, in part, a sequel to the
Iliad.
(From wikipedia link, above)
So; two 'towering' works of literature! Kind of a stretch, but there's more:
The Odyssey is about Odysseus. (Odysseus was in both the Iliad and Odyssey)
Odysseus' most famous creation is the
Trojan Horse,
a structure encasing the source of the destruction of the Trojans!
Back to the SIGN: "A Forty One Story Space Center"
Forty one story?
Wikipedia WTC
the World Trade Center had a total of seven buildings, but the most notable were the main two towers, which each were 110 stories tall, stood over
1,350 feet (410 m) high
Forty one decameters?
Or; maybe that references the years between the public announcement of the towers being built and the actual event taking place, although that would
be forty years... but then maybe that's the source of Max's confusion later (01:09), when he makes it 41st St, forty two stories, instead of the other
way around, indicating the date for the event is not yet 'etched in stone'.
"Space Center"? They sure left a lot of "space" between the words "space" and "center".
Who knows? Maybe they did use "space" weapons to light the fuse on the stuff in the concrete. (It seems that way to me, anyway.) Maybe they were just
alluding to the great big hole they were going to make.
"By
Jericho Construction Co."
Well... DUH!
Well, apart from the obvious "walls come a tumblin' down" reference, Jericho is in the "West Bank of the Palestinian Territories." Maybe that's
endgame stuff.
00:05 The Shadow of Agent 99, followed by Agent 99, "pass over" the "sign".
The two planes?
Maybe even
Nibiru coming into play.
After that: Max is standing with his face covered (past his eyes) by the magazine (with what looks like the Dallas School Book Depository pictured on
the page) as Agent 99 faces the wall and speaks to him. A passerby who looks a LOT like
Agent
Larabee walks past, going about his business, oblivious to the intrigue.
Perhaps he represents US, as described
HERE.
Larabee was without a doubt the dimmest agent ever to work for CONTROL. Loyal and honest, there is virtually nothing that Larabee actually
understands.
After that; plot exposition, including "Agent 77 is an impostor." I dunno. Maybe that's
double agent, (or building) 7.
Then, Max produces a picture of a phone (holographic images?) and calls "The Chief".
Chief: "I read you loud and clear." (picture Cheney:
"The
orders still stand".
Then, Reagan dancing with Grable".
01:09 Max's confusion. Max: "I'm at the SW corner of 41st St., observing the construction of a 42 story building."
Chief: "You're on the NE corner, and it's 42nd St., and it's a 41 story building."

About the only thing he hasn't twisted is "construction", which now would be... destruction.
Playing with the numbers:
41 and 42 = 4+1+4+2 = 11
The two towers?
Then: Max goes silent.
Chief: (on phone) "Max... Max, why have you stopped talking?"
Agent 77 (double 7) signals, then is silenced.
Continued...
