Episode Report Card Sobell: B+ | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Geary -- dead!
By Sobell | Season 2 | Episode 11 | Aired on 11.12.2006
Unfortunately, Michael is going to need Linc's rhino-like abilities sooner than that, as Coyote's goon has just determined that all that medical-grade nitroglycerin (C3H5N3O9) is in fact sugar (C12H22O11) and water (H20). Michael feigns innocence: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm not a chemist. The guy I bought it from swore it was medical nitro. We both got screwed." Coyote's all, "We, kemosabe?" Michael pleads, "I just want to be out of here, okay? And you just want your payment. My brother's going to be here soon. We'll work something out. Just name your price" You know Michael is in desperate straits when his Plan B is "I'm going to let my brother kick your asses." Coyote whips out his gun and says angrily, "I already named my price. You didn't come through!"
Commercials. I like how the same show that has the Blood Diamond ad also has the Kay Jeweler one too. Every kiss begins with K? So does every kill.
When we get back, the balder of Coyote's two thugs is scanning the horizon outside the cabin. When he turns around, he runs right into someone's fist.
Meanwhile, Coyote is holding a gun on Michael, demanding to know, "When is your brother going to get here?" "You were planning on turning us in the whole time," Michael realizes. Coyote uses his outdoor voice to repeat his question: "When is your brother going to get here?" SUCRE answers that by bursting into the room with the outside goon's purloined gun. Sucre! Call me gullible, but the minute the outside goon got punched, I was like, "Yeah, that's Lincoln's M.O." Sucre! Also, it is all very hot how he and Coyote are busy shouting threats at each other in Spanish. Then Sucre actually makes good on his threat by winging Coyote. The older guy goes down like an American automaker's stock. Within seconds, Michael and Sucre have all the guns in the room, one wounded Coyote and a panicky goon. The two former cellies grin at each other.
And now, back to the water torture with Dr. Sara and Kellerman. As Kellerman heats up an iron, he carries on about how baffling it is for her to put herself out for Michael and Lincoln. Dr. Sara replies, "Are you surprised that there are people out there who will stand up to people like you? Are you that far gone?' Elaborately rolling his eyes, Kellerman tells her, "That's cute. Sad. But cute." Then he decides that the only thing more disorienting than fake-drowning someone is doing it with a side of electrocution. We then get a lot of close-ups of Dr. Sara screaming in pain underwater, because nothing says "entertainment" and "advancing the plot" like "explicit and suspiciously sexualized images of brutalizing a human being."
