Welcome to my first attempt at recapping Prison Break. Umnata did an awesome job last week, and I just hope I can get from A to B without dropping the ball. I have never recapped a show this dense, or, actually, any show that wasn't completely mindless drivel. If I get stuff wrong, please let me hear about it! Anyway, I'm excited to be here. On with the show.

Previously: Lincoln learns that L.J. has been arrested for the attempted murder of the evil Secret Service guy and is also being charged with the murders of his mom and stepdad. Geary, the crooked prison guard, accuses Bellick of also being crooked; Bellick spits back that he doesn't get caught, meaning that Geary is dumb enough to get caught. Michael ditches Tweener during the escape, and Tweener hitches a ride toward St. Louis in the back of some dude's truck.

Still previously (this update was long, but I appreciated it): C-Note confronts Michael about the $5 million that Westmoreland, a.k.a. D.B. Cooper (?!), hid in Utah before he bit the big one. Veronica totally gets killed while she is on the phone with Lincoln. Abruzzi chops off T-Bag's hand, and T-Bag forces some poor innocent South Asian vet to sew it back on. Michael tells Link about the getaway car he has set up for, well, just the two of them. The FBI dude, Agent Mahone, almost catches the escapees at the cemetery, because he has Wentworth's crazy tattoo all figured out.

Now, no longer previously, Mahone is on the phone in what appears to be a backyard. I know that this actor's name is Bill Fichtner and he was in Invasion, but I have never seen that show, and all I can think about when I look at this guy is that he's a perfect Christopher Walken lite. Not just his appearance, but the way he moves and everything too. To summarize: He's awesome.

Mahone asks to have the Mexican police set up some checkpoints fifty miles inside Mexico. He also says that Warden Pope should be cut out of the loop. While Mahone is on the phone, we keep getting this weird close-up of a birdbath in the yard. He hangs up and walks over to the birdbath in this significant, weighty manner. He stares into it. He sees his own reflection. That's deep. It's almost as though he's trying to see inside of his soul. Do you think maybe we're supposed to get that Mahone is a DEEP and REFLECTIVE guy?

O, Birdbath, when wilst thou reveal thy holy mysteries unto thy faithful servant?

Wentworth Miller is standing in a public place wearing a stupid disguise. I mean, he's wearing the same suit he had on last week, but he's doing this ballcap-and-glasses thing that is only ever done by people in disguise, or else possibly by Matt Damon. He's reading a newspaper. It has a headline about the manhunt for himself and his colleagues. He watches some guy unloading some picnic stuff from the back of his minivan.

Meanwhile, Link and Sucre and C-Note are hiding in a dark and dingy little room, and they're starting to argue. C-Note is breaking it down for Sucre about the fact that Wentworth and Link are going to leave them hanging. Abruzzi is just listening, which you know is totally the smartest thing to do. C-Note starts to talk smack about how maybe he and Sucre will just go and get the $5 million themselves. Link loses his temper and some minor scuffling breaks out. This is such a horror-movie cliché, how these guys in a tense situation and a small space start to turn on each other, thereby leading to their own demise. Just then Michael busts in. He looks like a total dork in his stupid hat and glasses. He makes them stop fighting, because he is their Charismatic Leader.

(By the way, I started out calling Lincoln "Linc," and then all I could think about was Link from The Legend of Zelda, so I just changed it to "Link." I like to play the Legend of Zelda music in my head when he comes onscreen.)
