Then we get back to the rest of the episode, and to One World Conspiracy HQ, where Howard Scuderi (aka "Can't Get It Up Guy" from Las Vegas) is all, "And whyfor are we moving Scylla again, please to tell?" General Von Baldy gives him the crazy eyes as he explains, "Scylla's security is the foundation of this entire organization. Howard protests that moving Scylla could compromise the timeline for Operation Take Over The World, but General Von Baldy assures him this isn't the case. Just then, Lisa enters and breaks the news that "dismantling the security around Scylla is a bit tricky. It may take longer than we thought." General Von Baldy gives Lisa the stinkeye as he says, "I can make this happen right now. [picks up the phone] Go get David Baker."
We cut to Mahone at Baker's front door, or rather at the big glass wall that contains Baker's glass door. Baker, it should be noted, lives in one of those beautiful modernist houses that dot the hills of Los Angeles and get featured in any movie Michael Mann sets in the city. They are the kinds of places where neither clutter nor human fingerprints are allowed to mar any surface. Yet somehow, Mahone manages to bluff his way past Elaine with the line "Are you familiar with a project called Scylla?" Within seconds, Elaine has bypassed the secondary security system (David Baker's pissy, nasal protest of "I'm working!"), and Mahone's bluffing about being with the One World Conspiracy and needing to ask about the original design. David Baker grouses about not remembering much of the project and resumes building his model of some futuristic compound. Mahone shrugs and begins looking at the work.
Back at GATE -- or, more precisely, below GATE -- Linc and Sucre are back at the pipe where Bellick died. Sucre explains, "You know, Bellick saved my life. Back when we were in [Sona], T-Bag went nuts ... he lit Sona on fire, he told everyone to run. 'They can't shoot us all,' he said. It was a stampede, bro. I was down, I was trampled, I couldn't get up, I couldn't breathe ... but then somebody pulled me back on my feet. It was Bellick. He saved my life." Well, sure, but before that, he did quite a number on you, and don't you forget it.
The guys shimmy through the sleeve then continue to previously-unexplored territory. They're in a big concrete chamber with smooth walls, and the smooth floor is punctuated by inset circles of metal. Sucre's like, "We have to blow up this wall?" and Linc predictably grunts an inquiry as to whether Sucre's got a better idea. As a matter of fact, he might -- why not blow everything up? Here, he'll selflessly step on this MINE embedded in the floor.
