Episode Report Card Sobell: B+ | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT He Sees Dead People
By Sobell | Season 4 | Episode 15 | Aired on 12.15.2008
And now, Gretchen attempts to get through the tongue twister "she sells Scylla with Self by the seashore" without getting killed. First step: getting through the transaction without Don Self shooting off either his mouth or his gun. This proves to be tricky, as the Scylla buyer opens up a briefcase full of technology and Don instantly assumes the worst. Gretchen eventually has to use her I-am-not-kidding voice on the meathead to get him to hand over Scylla for validation.
Fortunately, Self's shenanigans have given Linc and Sucre time to show up, so they're able to sneak around the warehouse until they notice the buyer, Gretchen and Self all looking at folders reading "Nuclear," "Fuel," "Wind," "Solar," "Bargain," "Water" and "Medical." Don states the obvious: "That doesn't look like a little black book. That's --"
Alas, the meathead's conclusion is lost to posterity, because that's when Linc and Sucre show up. And that's also when the Scylla buyer whips out his piece and, with a "I'm sure you can understand no one can know where Scylla's going," also begins shooting. There's a brief, bullet-filled melee, but only Don gets hit. Sadly, it is not a fatal wound. The buyer gets away. Gretchen has Sucre straight in her sights, but as she realizes her clip is empty, she says, "It's your lucky day, Sugar." I like her more with every episode. And then, Linc has a gun to her head, and he says, "Not yours." Within moments, Gretchen's disarmed and Lincoln's kicking Don Self, partly in revenge and partly in pique that some Titus Welliver look-alike has absconded with Scylla. So -- let's all lighten the mood with a little holiday special!
On A Very Prison Breaky Yule...Everyone's gathered around the piano finishing "Deck the Halls" when there's a knock on the door. Lincoln answers it, and in walks Sucre. He's wearing a tiny sombrero and a red-and-green striped serape.
SUCRE:
This demeans all of us.
MICHAEL:
I know. But it's part of my holiday plan. Sucre...
SUCRE:
Fine. Hola, mis amigos. Here is a song that my family customarily sings around the holidays:
Feliz navidad
Feliz navidad
Feliz navidad
Now point me toward a nice big glass of booze.
MICHAEL:
Fernando!
SUCRE:
Feliz navidad
Feliz navidad
Feliz navidad
