Then we go to Kim, who has calmed down considerably since setting up a bunch of innocent Arab-Americans for a one-way ticket to Gitmo. He's recommending to the bald, mute guy that perhaps it might be time to bring Madame President Evil into the damage control on this. Kim argues, "It is her ass on the line, sir. And I think she's been known to get her hands dirty when her ass gets too close. Maybe we should let her know just how close it is."
Mahone and Lang are now analyzing The Lincoln and Michael Show with some body language expert. Sadly, they are not using the broad that Us and InTouch use every time they want to analyze the state of some celebrity's mental health. Although every word coming out of the boys' mouths is gospel truth, their body language reveals them to be lying liars who lie.
We then flash back to the abandoned warehouse, where Kellerman is conferring with the boys. He's telling Lincoln, "It plays too earnest." Linc replies, "Of course it will -- it's the truth." Kellerman replies, "The truth sends them home to their wives and kids. Lies will keep them busy." Linc protests, "I'm not going to lie to the whole country! It's our one chance to --" "Say whatever you want. Tell them you're the Green Lantern, but I know how they break down these tapes. I've done it. Every detail matters. Bin Laden crosses his legs right over left, it does something completely different than left over right," Kellerman says. "It's not the same message," Michael says. "To them, it is," says the evil genius who figures he can always use the body language to discredit Michael and Linc later, if necessary. He presses, "If you want this plan to work, you say one thing with your mouths, then say something different with your body and your eyes."
Back in the present, the Fibbies are still watching the tape of the brothers. Mahone notices that Michael happens to be tapping out Morse code on his knee as he speaks. The body language guy says, "We've got a phrase, 'the water is warm.' Does that mean anything?" We flash to Linc asking Michael the same question, and Michael smirks as he replies, "Nothing. But it'll take the feds a while to figure that out." In the FBI office, everyone's brainstorming what it could possibly mean, but Mahone remembers that he's Michael's Mind Mate and blurts out, "It doesn't mean anything! He's traveling with an ex-Secret Service guy. And they're spoon-feeding us everything they want us to follow... they had to know the tape would be discredited. They had to know that we'd talk to the cameraman. They're something else going on... "
