Episode Report Card Sobell: C | 1 USERS: A YOU GRADE IT Agent Kim -- dead! Also, many other conspiracy stooges!
By Sobell | Season 2 | Episode 22 | Aired on 04.01.2007
Lincoln speaks for everyone with, "I need a drink." And then he waits on his dead ass for Dr. Sara to go fetch it for him. As she heads off-camera, Linc grabs a fishhook so Michael can monkey with his cuffs and get them off. Michael whispers, "We did it." And then we hear another low voice say, "No... you almost did it." It's Agent Kim! Somehow, Mr. I-hate-going-into-the-field managed to find these guys and now he's got a gun on them.
Commercials. When did April become the month when movies with lots of big, dumb, car-chase scenes were released? I thought January was supposed to be the dumping ground for stuff nobody wanted to see.
So we come back, and Agent Kim is still holding a gun on our two free people and one fugitive (remember: Michael is still a felon). Linc is all, "You want the money? Here." He tosses over the backpack. Agent Kim asks, "You think this is about the money?" He kicks the backpack off the dock, and it sinks. Oh, that is delightful. We all watch four million dollars' worth of macguffin sink beneath the water. Michael has a look like You have NO IDEA what I have BEEN THROUGH to get that money. Kim says derisively that it's pocket change. In that case, I call dibs on cleaning out his pockets. And rooting through his sofa cushions. Mama's got a mortgage to pay. Michael asks, "Then what is it about? My brother's been exonerated. The president's stepped down. We're not a threat anymore. It's over." Kim gives him an unhinged smirk and says, "You may be done with us, but that doesn't mean we're done with you. The police are on their way." Lincoln valiantly offers to take the bullet for Michael. Kim patronizingly says, "Awwwww. That's sweet. That's sweet. You don't hear that much, anymore -- that sort of fidelity in families. Two brothers that'll go to the ends of the earth for each other. Too bad only one of you will survive."
Kim goes to shoot at Linc and Michael screams, "Don't!" right as we hear the crack of a gunshot. However, we see that it's Agent Kim who's been shot. Even more surprisingly, it's Dr. Sara who has the uncanny aim. You've been holding out on us, Annie Oakley. Kim falls in the water; Dr. Sara falls to pieces.
We hear the whine of sirens. Michael says, "We gotta go." However, instead of taking the boat -- which works on water, where police cars can't go -- Lincoln "Genius" Burrows decides they should abandon ship and run around on foot. Frankly, Dr. Sara should have shot out his patella and let Michael drag Linc back on the boat while she lifted the anchor. Then they could have escaped. Now, they have to go on a tedious footrace. Worse, we have to watch it. Linc heads in one direction. Michael and Dr. Sara head in another.
