Team Escarpara's now barreling down a hill. The guys run through a barbed-wire fence that Linc's holding open. Tweener happens to snag his hand on a wire and makes a big show of saying, "Ow!" as he holds his hand. I note this now so none of us are surprised when he develops lockjaw in the season two premiere. Linc then grabs Haywire by the collar and barks, "Take your suit off -- you're glowing in the dark." A startled Haywire protests, "But I only have my skivvies on --" "Take your suit off!" Linc orders. Haywire heads off and Linc says to Abruzzi, "We gotta do something about that freak." Abruzzi says, "You got it -- now hurry up."
More dark-n-chaotic shots. I believe there are bodies, and I believe they are upright and perambulatory. Anything beyond that is a mystery. Everyone stops at the edge of a clearing; all eight guys practically pile on each other. I wonder how much time the director spent trying to come up with a way to frame all the guys in that shot? Everyone looks over at the barn and C-Note designates himself as group spokesman with, "Eye-Tie, where in the hell is the van?" Abruzzi gargles, "O ye of little faith." Everyone scampers for the barn and sure enough, there's a van there. Abruzzi orders Linc, "Behind the wheel, Cro-magnum." Hey! There's evidence suggesting the Cro-magnums were gentle, sophisticated hominids that were driven to extinction by the more nasty H. sapiens. What are you trying to say about Linc there? That he's secretly sophisticated?
The boys all scramble for the van, and Haywire's all excited to be sitting shotgun. Michael smashes the van's taillights, and Tweener asks, "What the hell are you doing?" "I'm getting us invisible," Michael replies. Tweener has been leaning on the barn. When he gets up, we see that he's left a bloody handprint. Is there nothing that kid can't screw up?
When Abruzzi gets in the car, Linc asks him all panicky-like where the keys are, and Abruzzi replies, "I told you, they're in the plastic garbage can by the trees." Linc turns to Haywire and says, "What are you waiting for?" Before he can figure out what's going on, Haywire finds himself hopping out of the car and heading away from the van. T-Bag smoothly slides into place right next to Michael. As Haywire frantically searches for the keys outside, Abruzzi hands over the set, and Team Escarpara ditches him. Haywire looks honestly hurt for a moment, but quickly becomes angry, screaming, "No! No! Noooo!" He then runs off, looking panicky.
