Well, if they are, theyâre doing it after the commercial break. Hey, everybody, it's Oscar nominee Eddie Murphy in a fat suit! This is sort of like how, after Jamie Foxx won his Oscar, the next film he was in was the one with the evil airplane.
When we get back, the boys are lurking under a highway overpass. A radio announcer cheerily lets us know that Kim's minions have come through: "The terror threat level has been raised to orange after a storage unit rented by several Arab-Americans was suddenly seized." Lincoln fumes, "They buried it. They dumped it off the front page and buried it." Kellerman calmly replies, "It's what they do." Michael is fully confident that an Internet full of cranks and conspiracy theorists will chew on all the red meat he and Lincoln have just tossed them.
And now, Lincoln decides to brood about something else, telling Michael, "This is a Hail Mary, man. If we don't get to her... " "Getting to her is the easy part. It's what we do after that's the problem," Michael replies. Do you like how the boys are only speaking in pronouns so we're not sure who her is?
Back in FBI headquarters, Lang is saying she'll notify the White House to cancel the President's appearance. Mahone shoots that down, noting, "If there's any change to her itinerary, the brothers will know something's up, and they'll go right back into hiding." Wheeler protests, "We found them before, we can find them again." Mahone snaps, "These are not pets, Agent Wheeler!" Wheeler dryly replies, "Yeah, thanks. I'm pretty clear on that." Heh. He then points out that using the commander-in-chief as bait could be tricky, and Mahone huffs, "Do you have a problem with the way I do things?" As a matter of fact, Wheeler does. As, apparently, does the rest of the FBI -- Internal Affairs is now keeping a very close eye on Mahone. During this whole conversation, Lang is all, "Hey, how come I have never noticed that the wall immediately behind Alex's head is so fascinating? And have you ever looked at the floor in here? I mean, really looked at the floor in here?" Mahone stalks over to Wheeler, takes off his glasses, and says slowly, "Then get a pen and make sure you get this word-for-word: the President's day does not change. The only lead we have is that we know where these men are headed. So we're going to keep quiet about this, and let 'em come. Now get out of my office." Wheeler does. Lang returns from her out-of-body experience and tells Mahone, "They're two of the most recognizable faces in America. How do they think they're going to get anywhere near the President?" Mahone credits the magical superpowers that Kellerman brings to the team. Only not in so many words.
