Okay, I can get through this: General Von Baldy kisses Gretchen in a most un-fatherly way, and she KISSES BACK, and he keeps repeating "my girl." I mean, I realize my job as a recapper is to crack wise with, "Ah, it's another night in the Douglas/Zeta-Jones household" or something similarly lighthearted, but honestly, all I can do is look at this and recoil with an gaaaaiiigh. I didn't realize "sociopath" was a synonym for "sexually benighted."
Hey! Speaking of sexually benighted sociopaths, here's T-Bag bugging out over the police crawling all over the office. He grabs the dishy Trisha by the arm and asks if she can use her computer to access GATE's records. Trisha says, "If I access the files as a network administrator, it means I can see the files in a non-PDF format." T-Bag grabs her arm tighter and says, "I don't know what that means, but I assume it was a yes. So you let your pretty little fingers do the walking across the keyboard, and you get me my sales records." Trisha protests that T-Bag is hurting her arm, and T-Bag replies, "And don't make me hurt any more of you. Now go." Is it wrong to be amused that Trisha's hiked her necklines way, way up since she fell in with a criminal element? Who would have thought that being at the mercy of killers would give a girl a case of the modesty?
Sucre welds away while Michael sits on a floor and sees double. Seeing two of Sucre? Where can we sign up for that tumor? Anyway, Sucre's made a hole in the pipe and crawled inside it. Now Michael directs Sucre to use his belt to measure the diameter of the little pipe, then go over to the opposite wall of the big pipe, draw a circle, and begin making the second hold. Oh, and they only have thirty minutes to do it.
The next scene has Sucre and a shower of sparks, and then it all stops because his propane torch or whatever is now out of fuel. Michael manages to find one of the two holes he's looking at, and he gets inside the pipe to help Sucre sledgehammer a hole on the other side.
Linc and Bellick arrive just in time to watch Michael and Sucre fail to guide the suspended, heavy pipe through the hole. They also bring news: "We heard on the radio that the DWP is going to have the water running in ten minutes." Well -- guess the boys will have to guide that pipe into place in nine. Michael gestures to the smaller pipe and says, "This sleeve is too heavy for us to guide inside the pipe. Two of us are going to have to go inside and guide it through that other hole." Linc volunteers, and so does Bellick, eagerly. Michael tries to step in, but Bellick says, "No offense, college boy, but this sucker's heavy. You're going to need a little bulk down there." Michael concedes. He hands over some wood to help brace the sleeve, and bids the guys to get out in a hurry.
