By Sobell | Season 4 | Episode 9 | Aired on 11.03.2008
Upstairs, T-Bag is trying to BS his way through his confab with Detective Merrick -- who has helpfully noticed things like incongruities as to where the fax came from, and the fact that the last time Andy's car was seen, there was a woman driving it -- while Team Scylla makes all sorts of a ruckus below him. T-Bag tries to float the "Maybe Andy was cheating?" balloon, but Merrick says, "From what I heard from his other coworkers, that wasn't too likely." Then he goes for the kill: "From what I've heard from other people, you and Mr. Blauner didn't get along. Would you mind talking about that?" T-Bag's false good cheer dries up.
Back at Team Scylla HQ, Don Self is sitting in front of his laptop and explaining to all of us that "a few years ago, a partner of mine did the same move on an enemy combatant we picked up at the Mexican border." Dr. Sara is looking at his screen all, "It's delightful that you're a red-haired lady in World of Warcraft, but I really don't see what MMPORPGs have to do with -- oh, wait, I'm looking at the wrong window." Don Self explains, "This guy didn't want to talk, he didn't know anything." We see that Don has been editing together Agent Blots Out the Sun's voice into one seamless sound file. While Don Self continues to play with his software, Mahone looks at Agent Blots Out the Sun and has a brainstorm. He asks, "Is that ambulance you got us still out back?" Sure is. Mahone's off to poke around for something.
Cut to the expedition team learning the hard way that sledge hammers are not the most effective tool for breaking up a smooth concrete floor. Bellick tells Sucre, "I got almost a decade on you and I'm not sucking wind." Sucre points out, "I got shot, Brad." "Oh, yeah," Bellick remembers. Hee! Anyway, back to the failure to dig: Michael notes that the cement's been reinforced with granite, so not even a jackhammer can get through it. Sucre says, "Maybe we should go back to the warehouse and find another way?' and Michael shouts, "There is no other way! This is it! This is where our plans lead. This is the way to Scylla." Linc's all, "Come again?" Then Michael blows everyone's mind by summoning the Blue Steel and saying, "We can't go over it, we can't go under it. But maybe we can go through it."
And now, the boys launch into another sketchy plan: while Linc is given a spray can of something and the bird book map, he's told to go do "it," but he won't have a lot of time to do "it" and he has to be careful. Meanwhile, Sucre and Bellick are prying up a narrower passage of pipe. Bellick heads out with Linc.
