Episode Report Card Sobell: B- | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Michael and Lincoln -- not dead!
By Sobell | Season 2 | Episode 3 | Aired on 09.03.2006
Michael whips out a wad of cash and begins paying. Chuck gets a strangely Gollum-esque look on his face: We wants the Hamiltons, we do!. But he recovers and promises to bring the car around in about 15 minutes.
And it looks like Defiance, Ohio, now has a new claim to fame: Sucre is holed up there. He calls his friend Petey, who says, "Fernando Sucre?" "Is there another one?" Sucre angrily demands. "I hope not. But my boy Sucre would not be calling me on the phone and thereby making me an accessory to his dumb-ass escape," Petey replies. I feel a total kinship with Petey. Sucre apologizes nicely, but the strain is too much for the 5% of his brain not currently occupied with his faithless girlfriend, so it soon declares surrender for the remainder of the episode. And speaking of Maricruz, it looks like she's marrying Hector on Saturday. Today happens to be Thursday. Sucre tells Petey to get Maricruz to his place tonight, and Sucre will be in Bed-Stuy by nightfall. Petey's all, "But, wait --" and Sucre hangs up, because there are places to go and cars to steal.
On a side note, I love how they have the little Tweener theme music playing whenever someone's about to do something felonious.
And Chuck has finally found the crappy gray Acura. Michael's pleased as punch -- until he happens to notice that the back right window's been smashed and the backpack is missing. He takes a moment to have a quiet freak-out, then smacks the hood of the car. Trying to pull himself together, he stammers, "About the, ah, about the, ah, broken window..." and Chuck is all, "We have a sign --" Michael is so upset, he interrupts someone for the second time inside 15 minutes, saying, "I, I don't care about the broken window, Chuck. I had a backpack inside." "Not anymore, you don't," Chuck says flippantly. Then to add insult to injury, Chuck reminds him they still have some paperwork to square away.
Dr. Sara's about to leave the hospital. A nurse is snipping off her patient bracelet, and Dr. Sara comments, "You look familiar." The nurse says hesitantly, "You were an attending...when I first started here." Then they should both be surprised Dr. Sara remembered that face, since it's not like she didn't spend most of her time doped to the gills. Dr. Sara asks if the nurse can call her a cab ("Okay, you're a cab!" Heh. Sorry. I am ten.), and the nurse replies, "I don't think so." That would be because Dr. Sara is about to be arrested. After she's cuffed and they're Mirandizing her, Dr. Sara is pushed through the swinging doors and the camera pulls back to reveal...KELLERMAN! Oh, you magnificent bastard, you've returned to me! The clouds have parted, a host of angels has appeared, and what is that beautiful noise I hear? Is it the exalted choir singing amidst their sunset-hued skies? No. It is Kellerman, telling Madame President Evil that Dr. Sara's being taken in for questioning, and of course he'll keep an eye on her.
