That damn Bellick. He's so damn nosy and rude. He needs a good kick in the ass. Or he needs to be thrown down a hole. At least one wish can come true.
The last moment we saw this douche he had just discovered Michael hole. Wow, I would love to discover... sorry. Bellick has a happy smirk on his face and I would love to just hit it with a shovel. Luckily, Westmoreland is there to do just that. They fight for a minute and Westmoreland crashes into the glass coffee pot and it breaks. Then he gets the upper hand, I don't know how, he's like 80. He smashes Bellick in the head, knocking him out. Unfortunately, in the fight, Westmoreland was stabbed by the broken coffee pot. He pulls the large piece of glass out of his wound.
Out in the yard the gang watches as the dogs that were after Lincoln, I guess, are being walked around the building. T-Bag says that whenever he tried to escape before it's always been the dogs that have found him. Westmoreland comes out of the guard's break room, pushing a big trash can. That'd be awesome if Bellick was folded up in there. Anyway, the rest of the guys talk about the escape that looks like it's going down in three days. The only snag is Michael has to figure out how to get into the infirmary and to get Lincoln out of the SHU.
Westmoreland comes up to them and says that they have to go, ASAP. He says that Bellick found the hole and he did his best to cover it up. They have to go before everyone realizes Bellick is missing. Missing, as in tied up and pushed down the hole into the sewer system by Westmoreland. Priceless. Sucre thinks they're all good, that no one will miss Bellick. Since he has his nose into everything at the prison, C-Note doesn't think they have much time. Michael tells them that as soon as it gets dark they'll head out. He also tells them that to avoid the dogs chasing them down to scrub out their cell as best they can.
Abruzzi confirms he'll have the plane ready by tonight. Michael tells C-Note to get some peroxide, and Manche's in charge of getting the suits they'll need. Michael's in charge of getting the key. Once everything's in place they'll leave after dinner during "Tier Time", that they'll all leave through Michael cell because Lord knows that won't be obvious or anything. T-Bag is worried since head count is only an hour later so they'll have to hurry. Everyone's worried this won't work, including me.
Poor sweet Lincoln is in the cell and asks one of the guards if he can get a message to Michael to let him know that he was in an accident. Since all the guards guarding Linc are now a**holes, he says to put it in his will.
Veronica's done some sleuthing and learned the address of the house that matches the number they discovered on Quinn's cell phone earlier. She also found out that the house was paid for by an offshore account, blah blah, by Terrance Steadman's estate. These people didn't do a good job of hiding their tracks. Anyway, Veronica gets the bright idea of going to Blackfoot, Montana.
Bellick's finally regained consciousness and realizes where he is. He starts trying to yell and wiggle out of the situation, but to no avail. In the cafeteria two of the C.O.s are talking about where Bellick could be. Michael and C-Note overheard the conversation and C-Note's concerned. Michael tries to reassure him and C-Note says he won't have the peroxide until after yard duty. Also in the cafeteria T-Bag approaches a guy and asks him for his brussels sprouts. Not really the best time to be watching what you eat. He takes them and puts them in his pocket, Napoleon Dynamite style. Before he leaves the cafeteria Michael goes to Tweener and tells him that they're leaving tonight. Obviously Tweener's a bit confused since he told Bellick that they were planning to break out. Michael instructs him to see C-Note who will explain everything to him.
The Vice President is meeting with a few men. Not like that, mind in the gutter. Apparently the Energy bill they told her to be all for in the Senate wasn't vetoed by the President after all. He's passed it, much to their chagrin. They tell her that she was supposed to make sure the President vetoed it. They threaten her with their power and I hope she kicks them in the teeth. If these people were real and I was around them I'd totally be kicking them in the teeth. And kicking the guys in the nuts. Except for T-Bag, he'd probably like that.
I looked through about 30 pictures of this scene and this was the only one I found with emotion
Michael goes to the infirmary to talk to Dr. Sara. She's not having any of it though and looks pissed. He tries to apologize to her for getting her involved. He says that he's planning to get his brother out of there, and that he needs her help. Uh oh. This is ballsy. She says she is obligated to report this, and that this isn't the way. He says that she's the only person that can help him. And he's not asking her to steal or hurt anyone, he just wants her to leave the door unlocked when she leaves. She thinks she was part of the plan the whole time. He admits that at first it was an act, then he wanted to be there with her. But this isn't about them, it's about Lincoln not getting executed. He asks her not to punish Lincoln for his mistakes. She just storms out. Later, Katie comes in and finds her staring off into space. She quickly grabs her things and tells Katie that she's going out, and will be back. Damn I'd hate to be a sick patient at this place, the doctor's always leaving.
Abruzzi's on the phone with his guy on the outside talking about their plan. They have a van waiting for them on Fitz street. The guy wants to know if he needs to get a bigger plane, that the plane they have only seats three people. Abruzzi says that not everyone who leaves will make it on the plane. Damn, that Bible loving Abruzzi didn't last too long did he? Abruzzi then calls Nick and tells him that Veronica needs to be at the airfield tonight. Nick doesn't like this plan, but Abruzzi tells him to get over it.
Under the break room Bellick is still struggling. Two guards come in and Michael watches from the yard, concerned. Bellick hears the two men and tries to get their attention from underground. They don't hear him and walk out. Michael's relieved. Sucre asks if he's secured those keys and is frustrated when Michael says that he's still working on it.
Tweener's working in the yard and asks one of the C.O.s if he's seen Bellick. The C.O. says that he's not in yet and Tweener says that he saw him earlier. This little sh*t, I hope T-Bag gets him. Before he can say anything else, Westmoreland calls Tweener over to get him away from the guard. Abruzzi picks up a bunch of fertilizer and puts it in his pockets.
C-Note comes up to Michael and shows him the shank he took from T-Bag. He says that since he's the boss of them he should talk to these two before they both do something that'll hurt the escape. He then for some reason passes the shank to Michael.
In the locker room Westmoreland's not doing well. He puts another sock or something on his still bleeding wound. Michael comes in and tells the guys to put their normal clothes over their work clothes. Since they may not get the suits from Manche, they should be prepared. C-Note tells him to be quiet since Tweener's right there. Michael tells them that Tweener's going with them and no one is happy to hear this, since it's one more mouth to feed. Michael says that he owes him one. Yeah, he owes him for running his mouth and telling Bellick they were planning to escape. As the group leaves the locker room one of the C.O.s runs out and says he found blood on the floor. He wants to know who was bleeding. Michael cuts himself with the shank that's in his pocket and tells the C.O. that it was him, that he cut himself on the equipment. The guy believes him and tells him to get it check out. When Michael questions Westmoreland he says he's good enough to make it out.
Because Dr. Sara is a tortured addict, she goes and sits across the street from a bar. She stares at it a bit and then calls her AA/NA sponsor. She starts to leave her a message about wanting to talk to her but then hangs up and gets out of the car.
In Pope's office, Michael has his hand is my Taj Mahal. I'm sorry, the Taj Mahal and snaps off a piece. Pope walks in and they talk about how great Michael is and how much he appreciates what he's done. Michael tries to tell him that there are some good guys down in A-Block. Okay, I can see maybe C-Note and Sucre, but who else is good? Certainly not T-Bag or Abruzzi. Anyway, I see what he's saying, he's just trying to be nice. Anyway, Pope tells him that he owes him big time for this and if there's anything he can do. You guess it, Michael immediately calls in the favor.
In with Lincoln, Michael's trying to do what he can to figure out how to get Lincoln out, looking around the cell wondering the thickness of the chains. Lincoln's explaining what happened with him and their father but Michael's not paying attention. Finally Lincoln tells him to stop and that he should just leave without him, that they don't have a way to get him out of there. All of this and Lincoln may not go, that pisses me off. I've invested way too much time and energy into this, they better get him out too.
In the kitchen, C-Note's filling up bags with peroxide, putting them under his pant legs. Trumpets catches him and wants to know what he's doing. This is one angry black man. Anyway, he pushes C-Note over the edge by calling him "Sergeant Franklin" and C-Note loses it. He throws the peroxide in his face and starts kicking his ass. He stomps on him and ends up spitting on him. Nice.
You have to be 14 years old to look at this glass
At the bar, Dr. Sara's staring at a drink. Damn, this woman doesn't mess around. She's drinking like a Dewers, Jim Beam, or Jack Daniels, or something women usually have mixed in Mai Thais and Sex on the Beaches. Before she can actually drink it there's conveniently a news story on the TV about Vice President Reynolds. Apparently this takes place a few years ago or from now because they're talking about who's going to be her running mate when she runs for President. The short list has none other then Dear Old Dad on the top of it. Since he was so helpful in the Lincoln Burrows execution, or near execution, he seems to be the favorite. This gets her attention and she bolts out of the bar.
In T-Bag's room he takes the sprouts from earlier and starts spreading them around his bed to cover his smell. I don't know if that's how bloodhound's smelling works, but I guess it's a good idea. Abruzzi does the same thing with the fertilizer he picked up. His cellmate thinks he's a loon but Abruzzi assures him that it's God's work. That's right, God will always protect you. Westmoreland's struggling through the pain in his side and is rubbing soap on the wall. I'm not sure he read that memo right.
In Tweener's cell one of the C.O.s comes in and throws some stuff on Avocado's bed. Apparently Little Avocado is well enough to come back into the cell tonight. Not from any help from Dr. Sara that's for sure. Tweener's stunned. The guard also mentions Tweener saying earlier that he saw Bellick. Tweener plays it off and says that it was the day before, he's sure of it. The C.O. believes him. I think they should have all of the Fox River C.O.s take a psychology class or something.
Sucre has the peroxide bag and asks Michael what they're doing with it. Michael says that they'll take their blue work uniforms and bleach them by dumping the peroxide in the toilet to make them white. They're going through the Psych Ward and need to blend in. Sucre's confident they need everything to get out, except for Lincoln. Michael takes out that piece he broke off of the Taj Mahal and tells Sucre not to worry about it.
The Veep is meeting with the Prez about passing the Energy bill. He says that doing that was better then doing nothing. He's also surprised she's there since she voted in favor for it. Yeah, ya bitch. He also breaks it to her that he's going to be backing another candidate for President. He tells her like it is and that she's everything that's wrong with politics. Damn. She tells him to get off his high horse, that the only reason he chose her as his running mate was because she's a woman. Since that's true he just walks away from her.
In with Pope, he and a few C.O.s are talking about the Taj Mahal and what a great husband he is for having this done for her. As they talk they start to transport it to his car. Unfortunately, the whole thing collapses. He yells for them to get Michael up there immediately.
In Michael's cell they're done bleaching the suits. Not only do they need to be dry in forty five minutes when they leave, they're also concerned that not everyone will be ready to go. Just then the guards come to open Michael's cell. Sucre pulls his pants down and sits on the toilet to hide the suits. Not sure how they're hiding the smell, but I'll go with it. They tell him that Pope needs him right away. Sucre's concerned since it's forty five minutes until they have to go, but what can he do? The warden's calling for him. The other cons see Michael being escorted out and are concerned.
Bellick's still going crazy down in the hole. Suddenly, he feels a rusty bolt coming up from the ground. He puts the ropes on it and starts the (hopefully) slow process of cutting through the ropes on his hands.
Dr. Sara goes to a real nice restaurant. Her father's sitting at the end of the table, talking to a whole bunch of hoity-toity friends. He goes over to her and she starts grilling him about whether not he actually read the information on Lincoln Burrows she gave him. After being all politician with her, he admits that no, he didn't read it. She's pissed and he points out that she's an ex addict and thief and she had no problem with him using his influence to get her junkie boyfriends out of jail. I'm sorry, this is a little different, but I'll go with it. She was a spoiled druggie brat and now she's all moral on him and he can't take it. He walks back to his table and nearly sticks his tongue out at her.
The C.O.s continue to talk about where the hell Bellick could be. They say that it's 6:30 and very unlike him to be late. They think they should tell Pope. Abruzzi hears all of this from his cell.
Veronica's running around the apartment like a chicken with its head cut off. She's flying to Blackfoot and they need to leave. Reluctantly Nick pulls a gun on her and says she's not leaving. She's surprised, at least I think that's what that expression is. She wants to know who's making him do this to her. He doesn't answer but you can tell he's really torn up about this whole thing.
Michael gets to Pope's office and they've just told him Bellick's missing. They get Bellick's mother on the phone because of course this tool lives with his mother. She says that Bellick called earlier in the morning from the parking lot. Ah, that's nice, he leaves her and then calls her when he makes it to work. What a good son. Pope tells the C.O. to go to the parking lot and look for Bellick's truck. He gestures for Michael to come in.
We get flashes from all the prisoners of why they're planning to escape in the first place. We see Sucre thinking about Maricruz telling him that she's pregnant... Abruzzi thinking about Fibonacci... creepy ass T-Bag thinking about Susan, the chick that turned him in... C-Note's thinking about his family and sees Trombone looking at him from his cell, knowing he's going to get him as soon as the doors open...Tweener looks at Avocado's stuff on the bunk, knowing he's going to be dead later tonight... Westmoreland opens his locket and thinks about his daughter who's dying in a hospital... And finally, Lincoln thinks about when he was nearly killed a week or so ago in the electric chair. I think his reason trumps everyone else's.
Nurse Katie closes and locks the infirmary door as Dr. Sara walks along the waterfront, thinking. Okay, she has about fifteen minutes to get her ass back to the prison and unlock that damn door. She better hurry up and stop looking at the sunset.
In Pope's office he's talking to Michael about the Taj Mahal. He says they were moving it and it just collapsed. Michael takes the piece out of his pocket and puts it on the desk. He says that this is the piece they need and that he broke it off because he had to get back into his office. Pope looks at him confused as he pulls out that shank C-Note gave him earlier. Michael holds the shank closer to him and says that he's breaking out, and Pope's going to make sure Lincoln goes with him. Hot damn! We're in it to win it now!
