By Sobell | Season 2 | Episode 22 | Aired on 04.01.2007
Back in Panama: Mahone's phone rings. Agent Kim is walking out of the office as he asks, "Where are we?" Mahone airily tells him, "I'm in Panama. Nice place. Good weather, cool breeze." Kim, who looks like he is experiencing neither, snaps, "Where are we with the brothers?" Mahone tells him to hop on a plane and come see, as he'll have 'em both by the time Kim lands.
Michael is sailing, sailing, sailing the ocean blue. He's also pouring out his heart to Dr. Sara on her voicemail. He leaves the following message: "Sara, it's me. It's a strange thing, leaving a message for someone you know is never going to get it. I can only assume the worst, so... this will be the last message I leave for you. I just wanted you to know that I made it. But it's no good without you. Anyway, you remember when I told you about those 50-cent beers in Baja, at happy hour? Well, they're even cheaper down here. If by some miracle you do get this, I need you to listen close... " To a message WE are not privy to. Humph!
Cut to Bruce trying to snap Dr. Sara out of her daze. He is trying to get her to hustle out a side door, the better to avoid the inevitable media circus. We get a brief snap of the newscasts -- it's not looking good for Madame Evil -- and as Dr. Sara walks by all the reporters, one helpfully tells the camera that Lincoln is to be exonerated of all charges. Dr. Sara exclaims, "Oh my God, Bruce -- Lincoln's a free man!"
And we go to credits and commercials. Ah, truly, this is the Web 2.0 bubble, since we've seen the return of ads promising that ihe Internet will make us all smarter, more socially skilled, and more likely to work in the kind of office where there are attractive chairs and attractive people and great views. Where are the ads pointing fingers at the internet for making To Catch a Predator possible?
Okay. When we come back, Dr. Sara's checking her voicemail. But! She does not listen to Michael's message all the way through. Instead, she just tries to call him. We flash to Michael, who is busy talking with Chaco and thus misses his phone ringing. Argh! So we cut back to Dr. Sara telling Bruce, "I'm going to have to go [to Panama]." "What is that, about three thousand miles?" he asks. Dr. Sara says all matter-of-fact, "It is. So we're going to have to swing by my hotel and then you're going to have to get me to the airport because, Bruce, he's going to need to know he doesn't have to run anymore. What he's doing right now is going to get him killed" Behind her, the press corps takes in every word. Way to be discreet, Dr. Sara. It's not like the FBI's not still interested in your boyfriend the ARMED ROBBER with a VALID FELONY CONVICTION for the CRIME HE ACTUALLY DID COMMIT.
