All four would work. I would prefer #1. but would work better for me without the adverbs. And "two" P.M.

All four are run-on sentences.

And in addition, in 3 and 4 you have started a new sentence without using a capital letter. These little details are necessary if you want to be correct.

And you have misspelled "two" in all four sentences.
