prison break (lesson one 2)
2008-09-26 18:54
You don’t, actually. I mean, at some point, we got to pull the trigger on this thing. I don't want to rush this. We're only going to do it once. We have to get it right. Honey, can I ask you something? Of course. Are you putting this off? 22 What do you mean? I... I mean, are you having second thoughts? No. Honey, no. I'm not. I don't know. I just can't help thinking this is about... Not. I love you...and I want to be your wife. Passion? What were you thinking? Hey, you went for it. She probably thinks I went sissy up in here. Passion. Got more than one syllable, too much talkin'. That's me from now on. One-syllable Sucre. Yes. No. Love. Hate. Love. Give it time. Are you kidding? I proposed to her. 23 That doesn't take time. Si or no. One syllable, man. She's supposed to come around for a conjugal on Tuesday. She's always calling me beforehand, letting me know she's coming. This time, man, I ain't heard a peep. You spooked her. Scofield... Get it together. Pope wants to see you. No good, Fish. No one gets an audience with the Pope. Not unless he's real interested in what you got going on. Top of your class at Loyola. Magna cum laude, in fact. I can't help wondering 24 what someone with your credentials is doing in a place like this. Took a wrong turn a few months back, I guess. You make it sound like a traffic infraction. Like all you did was turn the wrong way up a one-way street. Everyone turns up one sooner or later. The reason I called you here... I noticed in your I-file, under occupation, you put down 'unemployed.' That's not true, now, is it? I know you're a structural engineer, Scofield. Shah Jahan built the Taj Majal as a monument to his undying love for his wife. My wife is quite fond of the story. It appeals to the romantic in her. 25 Being married to someone in Corrections... terrible job. Wouldn't wish it on anyone. And yet, in 39 years my wife has never complained. And the worst part about it is, I've never thanked her. So, because I couldn't say it, I thought, you know, I could build it. Come June, it's our 40th anniversary. But here, look...you see, the problem is... I build anymore, it's all gonna come down like a house of cards. That's where I was hoping you could be of assistance. For the favor, I can offer you three days of work a week in here. And it'll keep you off the yard. I can't do it. Son, it's better for me to owe you one in here than it is for you to owe me one, I can promise you that. I'll take my chances. Then we're through here. Guard! Two pounds of pot? What were you trying to do, set a record? It's not funny, LJ. You could be going to jail. It's pretty obvious to me you need some guidance. Hey. Thanks. From who, old Daddy Warbucks? Give him a chance. He's a good man. We got nothing in common. 26 Where is this coming from, LJ? Last semester you were getting almost all A's and now...It's your father, isn't it? I don't have a father. It wasn't an immaculate conception, honey. Maybe it's time we went and saw him. Mom...Ma...Don't. I'm about as excited by the prospect as you are, but something's gotta give. You have got too much potential to be screwing up your life like this. What if they'd sent you to Taylorville or Marion and not here? I think I'd be doing the same thing I'm doing here. Eating Jell-O, drinking Kool-Aid... I know what you're doing. It's not luck of the draw that you're in here with Lincoln. You forget I know you. Both of you. You two have the most dysfunctional idea of love I've ever seen. What, he beats you up to keep you off the streets, so you get yourself tossed into Fox River with him? To what? I deserve to know. I loved him as much as you did. Past tense for you, maybe. Not me. I gave him a shot when I got back from college, I did. Even with everything that was going on with him 27, I tried to make it work. And he threw it all away. You ever think maybe he was hurt that you left in the first place? Don't do this. Whatever it is you're doing, don't do it. There's a better way. I'm already appealing your case. I told you to leave... I've gotten in touch with the diocese about Lincoln. The bishop... That won't stop it. It'll only delay it. You want to do something? You find out who's trying to bury him. Nobody's trying to bury him. The evidence was there. The evidence was cooked. Visiting hours are now over. Take care of yourself. Someone wants him dead, Veronica. Something more is going on here. This is desperation, Michael. You're grabbing at straws. You're in denial. Maybe. But I can't watch him die. I won't do that. Gentlemen... What is it about the Burrows situation that I can help you with? It's our understanding that you have great influence with the governor. I wouldn't say it's great or influence. We're friends. It's also our understanding that you have opposed to the death penalty. 28 I'm a man of God. How could I not? In this case, we're hoping you'll suspend that position. At least temporarily. If the inmate appeals to me for intervention how can I turn my back on him? You have a habit of answering a question with a question. And you have a way of asking questions that beg more questions. Are you saying you won't do it? I'm not a man to equivocate. You're what... 62 years old now, Your Excellency. That's right. I would assume, then, that you'd be well-versed in how our government's tax system works. Taking personal capital gains under the church's tax shelter well, that would be fraud, wouldn't it, Your Excellency? I will not be cowed into forsaking my beliefs. Not by you or anyone else. Admirable. Good day, Excellency. Mr. Kellerman What is it about this case that the Secret Service is so interested in? The man killed the vice-president's brother. What'd he say? You heard me. Someone found Fibanacci. I'm looking at the photos right now. Son of a bitch has a beard, sunglasses Witness Protection, if I ever saw. Who was this someone? Oh, there's no return address on the envelope. Just. This folded-up bird made of paper Like origami? Yeah, like that. Like origami. You're Charles Westmoreland, right? Do I know you? I knew your wife before she passed. You knew Marla? You mean Anne? How'd you know her? We talked together in Boston. East Farmington. You mean West Wilmington? No more tests. I promise. Seems you know everything about me. Who are you? Michael Scofield. How'd you get it in here? First off, she's not an it. She's Marilyn and she's grandfathered back from the days when prisoners were allowed a creature comfort or two. I heard you were D.B. Cooper. Every new fish comes in here, first thing they hear, is that Charles Westmoreland is D.B. Cooper. I'll tell you like I tell them. You want the Cooper story? I can't give it to you, Beaus I'm not him. It's too bad. Sort of wish it was true. The man's a legend. Nowhere near as much as I wish it was true, friend. I'd have a million-five waiting for me on the outside. I'd put some grass under 'em if I were you. This thing would go a whole lot easier if you'd just hire me. What is this all about? Say you were able to get outside those walls? Would you have the people in place to make sure you disappeared forever? What do you care? Just curious. Where's Fibanacci? That's not the way it works. They come at me, John... I'm coming after you. I doubt it. Fight, fight, fight... I totally misjudged you, Scofield. I didn't think you were agitating type. Behavior like that will not be tolerated in my prison. 90 days in the SHU! That ought to be enough time to convince you of that fact. 90 days. That's right. Something you want to say? It's just...I'm not of much value to you in the SHU. Value? Hm-mm... the Taj. It'd be a shame if the eighth wonder of the modern world collapsed because the stress is improperly propagated. Improperly propagated? Improperly propagated. The joints are overloaded. They won't provide anywhere near the sheer strength the completed structure will need. How much work are we talking? You want it by when, in June? Yes. Then we'd better get started, wouldn't you say? Who's there? Bishop McMorrow was killed last night. Someone shot him while he was sleeping. I thought you'd want to know. Thanks. Michael was right. Sink, you got a visitor. He was arrested. For what? Possession of marijuana. I figured he could some fatherly advice before- He’s gone forever. I didn't mean that. I know you didn't. Thanks, Lisa. Sit down. Using or dealing? What's the difference? Then what, you think it gives you street cred? You got a piece of the good life. Take advantage. Look, I get it. The whole thing. She drags me in here, you give me a big speech, I walk away a changed man. Straight "A's."Harvard. Grow up and be a dentist. It's better than being here. You got to realize who's getting punished when you're doing the things you're doing. You think it's me; it's you. I did the same thing punished the old man because he was gone. Look where it got me. I'm not asking you to love me. I already screwed up that chance long ago. I'm asking you to love yourself. You can still put the brakes on this thing. 29 So, that's what fatherly advice is like. Where are you going? I got homework. They're putting me to death, LJ. In a month's time, I'll be dead. You get that? You're already dead to me. Yes. W-what? You mean yes? Yes! Oh, there's just one thing. Of course. Mama wants us to wait till you get out. Of course, mama. Oh, and we have to get married in a church. Okay. A Catholic church. Wouldn't want to mess with the Catholic roots, would we? You went to Loyola. You've been checking up on me. I like to get to know my patients. I went to Northwestern. Graduated two years after you did. Maybe we met before-you know, drunk, out at a bar somewhere. I would have remembered. That a compliment? No. What? Your blood glucose is at 50 milligrams per deciliter. So? That's hypoglycemic. Your body's reacting to the insulin like you're not a diabetic. You're sure it's Type One diabetes you've got? Ever since I was a kid. All right. You're not experiencing any tingling sensation, cold sweats or…Infirmary. Yes. Yeah. I did. No, I did and I do; I need them. Okay. Um, great, well, I'll call him after lunch, then. Thanks; I'm with a patient. Okay. I'd like to run some tests next time you're in. The last thing I want is to be administering insulin to a man who doesn’t. Yeah; sure. Okay. How'd you get here, by the way? Oh, you know. I don't; that's why I asked. You know. Hector. What?! I didn't have any money for the bus, so he offered me a ride. He was really sweet. Honey, he's just a friend. No, he's not "just a friend." I know Hector; I know men. Men and women can't be friends. A guy doesn't drive a girl 500 miles across state lines because he wants to be friends. Casanova, wrap it up. Hey, you got nothing to worry about, okay? It's you I'm marrying. It's not you I'm worried about. 16 more months. I love you. Be easy, son, all right? Sucre tells me you're the local pharmacy. What you need, man? Fugnac. I only speak English, white boy. It's an insulin blocker. Standard over-the-counter variety. You can get it at any pharmacy. You can get that at medical then. I can't get it at medical. Why not? Because they're already giving me insulin shots. You're one mixed-up cracker, you know that? Can you get it for me, or not? Only if you tell me why it is that you want to keep going back up to medical to get a insulin shot for which you don't need. I like the ambiance. We in business? Scofield. I don't know what you did, but Abruzzi wanted me to give you this P.I. card. Congratulations. You just joined the ranks of the employed. Kudos, Fish. You got spine. All right, cons, break it down! Move it, guys. Saw Veronica came by yesterday. Still engaged to that guy? Yup. Could have been me. If you hadn't self destructed. You think I meant to knock up Lisa Richs? I was just being stupid with her. Shouldn't have pushed her away, though. You pushed everyone away. I'm an anchor. All I'll do is drag him down with me. Why did you hire him? Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. You mean what you said earlier? I'm not here on vacation; trust me. Getting outside these walls, that's just the beginning. You're going to need money. I'll have it. And people on the outside--people that can help you disappear. I've already got them. They just don't know it yet. Look, whatever you got going on, fill me in, because I'm in the dark here. Chaparral Associates got the contract to retrofit this place in '99. $4 million contract. Head partner couldn't crack it. So, he subcontracted out an under-the-table sort of deal with a former associate. That guy was one of the partners in my firm. We basically ghost-wrote the whole plan crossed the "t's," dotted the "i's,” grouted the tiles. You've seen the blueprints. Better than that. I've got them on me. Are you kidding me? Am I supposed to be seeing something here?
