Deep in the catwalks, Michael scales a set of pipes and moves upward until he reaches the air conditioning system. Using a small piece of metal he grabbed in the catwalks, he shorts out the fans.

Outside the attorney-client visitation room, C.O. Bob finishes searching Veronica’s bag and tells her that her co-council is already with Lincoln. Veronica looks confused, then races in to discover Nick alone with Lincoln. She’s furious that Nick would show up there and instructs Lincoln not to talk to him. But Lincoln asks her to hear Nick out. Veronica casts a suspicious glance. Nick tells her, “I’ve been going over the incident report from the night of murder and somebody made an anonymous phone call to the local cops claiming to see Lincoln running away from the garage with bloody pants.” Veronica knows this already. That call was what prompted the police to storm Lincoln’s apartment, where they found him with the bloody pants, the pants they believe were planted. She’s not willing to hear more from Nick. The call was from an anonymous source. They can’t cross-examine a witness if you don’t know who it is. Nick stops her. They might not know who the caller was, but with the help of one of his connections, they have discovered where the caller was. Whoever made that phone call could not have seen Lincoln running away from the garage that night. Veronica asks how Nick knows. Lincoln smiles slightly as Nick replies, “Because the phone call came from Washington, D.C.”

co-council 助理顾问

With the A.C. unit now disabled, the temperature in Fox River has the inmates restless and irritable. Michael sits and quietly traces a piece of his tattoo, the face of a devil, onto a piece of paper taped to his arm. Sucre looks around and sees Seth in T-Bag’s cell, cupping pretzel nuggets in his hand. T-Bag has made him into his personal snack tray. He’s also given Seth a new name. When Seth complains about the heat, T-Bag replies, “I say you could talk, Cherry? You’ll know when I want you to open your mouth.” T-Bag stands up and shouts to C.O. Geary about the heat, but Geary is unsympathetic to T-Bag’s concerns.

Restless and irritable焦躁易怒
描一张什么或画……轮廓用单词trace

The doors open for count and all the inmates walk out. T-Bag takes a step forward as Geary walks by and asks him, “Why don’t you transfer us somewhere cooler? Like Africa?” Laughter and rumblings from the other inmates echo T-Bag’s sentiments about the heat. Geary orders T-Bag back on the line, but in this heat, no one is interested in following orders. Another C.O., Mack, senses trouble brewing and radios Bellick.

Rumble 隆隆声；咕哝说；普遍的怨声；v. 使隆隆地响，吵嚷，[美俚]打群架
前面学过近形词：grumble 抱怨，发牢骚，不满地嘟哝，嘟囔地说；隆隆响
Sentiment: a thought, a view or an attitude based on feeling or emotion instead of reason.
感想：基于感情或情绪而不是理智的思想、观点或态度
这段话里有两个词用得很经典：1、echo；2、brew
Echo sb.’s sentiments about sth.响应某人关于某事物的感想
Sense sth. brewing 感觉某事在酝酿中（马上就要发生了）

Bellick, in sick bay, accuses Mack of being soft on the cons and tells Mack that if he can’t deal with the problem himself, “Don’t bother cashing your paycheck this week.” Sara walks down the hall, but Bellick stops her, wondering what she’s doing outside of the infirmary. She tells him that she’s responding to a report that an inmate has heat exhaustion. Bellick thinks the inmate is just being difficult and he encourages her to stay in her wing（侧楼） where it’s safer for her. Sara stands up to Bellick, offering a subtly veiled threat to his job security should he ever deprive an inmate of medical care. Bellick backs off and lets Sara get to work.

Sick bay 在这里指“医务室”
heat exhaustion轻度中暑
stand up to 勇敢地抵抗/面对；经得起，顶得住
掩饰得巧妙的威胁 subtly veiled threat
Deprive of 剥夺，使丧失
Never deprive anyone of hope. 不要剥夺他人的希望。
Back off 后退，离开，放弃
这段里面用的比较经典的句型是don’t bother(about) doing sth.不用麻烦做什么事情；不必做某事了
语法be being adj.表示一种短暂的状态，表示暂时性。


The inmates are getting more fired up as T-Bag continues to verbally abuse the guards. Finally, Geary has had enough and throws his cup of water in T-Bag’s face. Geary orders a lockdown, but several of the inmates refuse to return to their cells.

Fire up 突然发怒，激怒，勃然大怒
口头侮辱 verbally abuse
在英语里要表达“越来越……”，句型用it’s getting (comparative form of an adj.)

Having gotten the lockdown they wished for, Sucre and Michael move back into their cell. Michael tells Sucre to hang a sheet on the bars; they’re both going behind the walls.

sth. (that) sb. wish for 某人想要的某事，某人期望的某事

Though most of the inmates comply with the lockdown, some stay out of their cells. The guards back（退后） out of the cell block and lock the gate behind them. T-Bag leads a pack of cons to the caged guard booth, out for blood after Geary disrespected him with the water. Bellick arrives, demanding to know what’s going on. T-Bag taunts Bellick as his posse claws at the guard cage. “What do you call a piece of white trash who couldn’t pass the cop’s exam and now makes less than a mailman? A C.O.” Bellick fires back, “You know Teddy, you really let me down and that’s hard to do. Because I don’t expect much from the inbred child of a retard. That’s right. I read the psych records. ” Bellick has hit a nerve. T-Bag explodes（此词用的相当经典：爆发了，爆怒） and the inmates go crazy behind him. Mack asks what they should do. Bellick says, “It’s hotter than hell. They’ll wear themselves out eventually.”

遵守，照做comply with=abide by=conform to

Back in the attorney-client visitation room, Lincoln is livid that evidence of a fake phone call isn’t enough for a stay of execution. Nick and Veronica explain that the evidence on which he was convicted is still too great. But the phone call is a start, and Nick tells Veronica that they need to catch the next flight to Washington, D.C.. They’ve got to find that telephone.

Livid铅灰色或惨白的；狂怒的，暴怒的=furious=extremely angry
I was livid when I found out that my boyfriend Philip had been two-timing me.

a stay of execution缓期执行

Bellick has lost his cocky grin as the inmates crawl all over the guard booth’s protective wire barrier. As the mesh begins to shake loose in one corner, Bellick instructs his men to relocate to his office, much to T-Bag’s glee.

cocky grin 不可一世的笑容
mesh网状物，网丝
摇松了shake loose（像deep, close, loose是既可作形容词，又可作副词，用的时候要注意）
Relocate 重新部署，调动
让某人高兴坏了much to sb.’s glee，再比如，让我很惊讶的是much to my surprise.

Moving through the catwalks, Sucre and Michael can hear the chaos erupting above them in the cell block. They continue.

erupt 与上文的explode有异曲同工之妙，都是表示“爆发”
erupt本意是“火山爆发”
An extinct volcano can no longer erupt.一个灭绝的火山已不能再爆发。
引申意指“突然发生，爆发”
Violence has erupted on the streets. 大街上突然发生了暴乱.

我知道任何理由都是借口，所以我首先只想说声“对不起”——对自己，也对一直在关注的朋友。
为什么今天第三季又更新了呢？因为我对待第三季的态度没有第一季严谨，在时间不充裕的情况下，我宁可不学习更新第一季，也不愿草率地把第一季的内容糟蹋了。第一季的剧本太经典，我要留着慢慢品。
Anyway, have a good dream! Tomorrow is another day!

Watching from the security monitors on his desk, Bellick seethes as the inmates finally get through the window and storm the guard booth. Bellick removes a case from his desk drawer and loads a 9mm handgun that was inside. They watch as the inmates work the cell door controls to free the rest of general population. T-Bag’s foot steps on a set of keys. Bellick whirls around and Mack sheepishly admits that he lost them in the commotion. T-Bag smiles as he waves the keys at the camera. Bellick radios the other guards, “This is Bellick. Our wing has been breached. I want A-Wing evacuated and shut down. All access to B-Wing cut off now.”

Sucre and Michael reach the wall that Michael had prepped earlier. Michael explains its significance. “Somewhere on the other side of this wall is the main drainage pipe to the prison’s old sewer system. If we can get through this wall, we can get into the pipe. If we can get into the pipe, we can get into the infirmary. And if we can get to the infirmary, then we can get out of here.”

C.O. Bob interrupts Lincoln, Veronica and Nick’s meeting. He informs them that there’s a disturbance in A-Wing. All visitors must leave immediately. Veronica resists at first, but Bob assures her that it’s for her own safety. Lincoln urges Veronica to go to Washington D.C. with Nick. Following up on that call is all they have to work with.

C.O. Bob escorts Lincoln back to his cell. Lincoln, concerned for Michael’s safety, asks what’s really going on in A-Wing. Bob is reluctant to say more, but he’s a good guy and he and Lincoln have a rapport. Bob assures him that no one is going anywhere; the cell block is locked down. Bob barely finishes his sentence before T-Bag runs into the hallway followed by a group of his thugs. T-Bag fixes a predatory stare on Bob who freezes with fear. “A rookie C.O.. And it isn’t even Christmas.” Lincoln assumes a protective stance. Knowing that the only way to save Bob is to fight, Lincoln takes Bob’s keys and unlocks his own handcuffs. “Get out of here T-Bag,” Lincoln warns, but T-Bag is adamant about getting his hands on Bob. T-Bag offers Lincoln a bribe to hand Bob over, but Lincoln refuses. As additional thugs circle around T-Bag, he menacingly tells Lincoln, “You’ve got a lot to learn about the art of bargaining position. Lesson one: Yours just changed.”

Using his carefully measured markings as a guide, Michael plugs in a work lamp and hangs it from the tripod he set up earlier. Sucre wants to know the exact location of the pipe. Michael tells him, “We’ve got someone to show us where it is.” Then he takes the tracing of the devil tattoo, places it before the lamp and the image projects onto the wall.

As Sara walks into her office within sick bay, C.O. Rizzo radios and asks if A-Wing needs back up. His offer denied, he turns around and a massive inmate, Stroker, grabs him by the throat. Sara, medical tray in hand, walks out of her office and sees Rizzo on the ground. Before she can react, Stroker grabs her around the neck and chokes her. She grabs a syringe from her tray and stabs him in the arm. Stroker lets go just long enough for Sara to break free and lock herself in her office. Sara looks out. All her patients close in around the glass-lined office. The inmates are now surrounding the office, threatening to break in. Sara tries to telephone for help, but another inmate, Pop Pop, has pulled the wire from the wall.

T-Bag slowly walks closer towards Lincoln. “You ever see on of those safari shows where a bunch of cheetahs just jump all up on an antelope? Guess which one you are?” Lincoln strikes first, head butting one of the goons. A few thugs grab Bob and pin him against a wall, while the rest struggle to take down Lincoln. But Lincoln will not go down easily. He dispatches thug after thug before T-Bag sneaks behind him and strikes Lincoln on the back of the head with a metal bar, knocking him unconscious.

Sucre studies the projected image of the devil, increasingly skeptical of Michael’s plan. The devil may have a lot of power, but unless he has a sledgehammer, Sucre doubts he can help them get through the wall. Michael answers by passing him the egg beater, now fashioned into a crude drill. “What the hell am I supposed to do with this?” Sucre asks.

越来越怀疑某事物increasingly skeptical of sth.
Sledgehammer大锤
Pass sb. sth. 递给某人某物

The sick bay inmates have handcuffed a bloody Rizzo to a pipe while they run wild through the room. Another guard radios Rizzo for a status check, but Stroker points a shard of glass at Rizzo’s throat, forcing him to give an all-clear status. Sara remains locked in her office, terror mounting on her face.

Sucre examines the egg beater and doesn’t understand how, exactly, they’re supposed to get through a six-inch concrete wall by making a series of small holes. Michael explains, “ We go through the tip of each horn. The eyes. End of the nose. Bottom of the fangs. Ends of the braids. It makes a kind of X,” and when that’s done, they will have weakened the structural integrity of the wall enough to hammer their way through.

fang 尖牙，犬牙，毒牙
braid 辫子，发辫，穗带

The prison guards are gearing up for the riot. They grab helmets, body armor, and heavy firepower. Bellick marches across the yard with Warden Pope. Bellick tells Pope he wants to attack the inmates head on and regain footing inside the cell blocks, but Pope disagrees. “Oh yeah, so we can end the riot today and start the funerals tomorrow?” Mack rushes over to Pope, cell phone in hand. The governor has called to find out if his daughter is safe. Pope assures Governor Tancredi, “ It’s impossible for anyone from A-Wing to get to Sick Bay. And the guard on duty has assured us everything is fine. We have everything under control, Governor.”

Michael completes drilling the first hole and tries to hand the drill off to Sucre for the next shift. Sucre won’t take part. He believes that drilling holes in the face of the devil is bad luck. Michael reminds him that he believes in God and God will be his protector. Sucre reluctantly takes the egg beater and begins to drill.

T-Bag returns to gen pop, dragging the beaten and bloodied C.O. Bob behind him. T-Bag assures a cheering audience of inmates that “as soon as Bob and I are finished getting acquainted, everyone else will get their turn.” Bob breaks free and tries to crawl away, but T-Bag catches him easily. With his last ounce of strength, Bob kicks T-Bag. Bob’s futile attempt to fight only agitates T-Bag further. He sits on Bob’s stomach and beats him senseless.

break free 挣脱（前面Sarah挣脱Stroker时出现过：Stroker lets go just long enough for Sara to break free and lock herself in her office.这里把这句话贴过来，一是强调复习的重要性，二是这句话中just long enough for sb. to do的用法我仍然不太熟练，需要我多注意。）
last ounce of strength最后一丝力气
futile attempt to do sth. 白费力气做某事
这让我想起前面的“像盯着猎物一样盯着某人fix a predatory stare on/at sb.”我很佩服这种在一个以名词为主的词组中加一个我不太熟悉的生词，然后顿时之间整个短语所表达的意思丰富了许多的境界，futile和predatory都是两个我不太熟悉的形容词，用得很丰富。
agitate sb. further 更让某人愤怒/狂躁
beat sb. senseless 打得某人失去了知觉/不醒人事

Sucre questions how Michael knows where the drainage pipe is behind the wall. Michael tells him that he hid the coordinates for the projection in his tattoo using simple math. If he’s wrong, Sucre will drill into one of several gas pipes behind the wall, killing them instantly. Sucre turns around. “But you’re good at math, right?”

T-Bag tosses Bob into Michael’s cell. Bob falls to the ground. When he tries to regain his footing, T-Bag kicks him forward and Bob slams against the loose toilet fixture and pulls it down with him.

The inmates in Sick Bay are determined to break through the glass wall to Sara. She frantically searches the office for a weapon to defend herself with. Pop Pop manages to finally get his arm through the glass. As he struggles to reach the door lock, Sara sticks him with a syringe filled with a sedative which knocks Pop Pop to the floor. Another inmate immediately continues to pound the glass with a fire extinguisher. Sara grabs a hole-punch and smashes the glass of a nearby cabinet.

Pope orders the water shut off inside the prison. When Bellick tells Pope that he’ll call maintenance, Pope redirects the order. “Mack, you take care of it.”

struggle to do sth. 努力做某事
sedative镇静剂，止痛药
pound 强烈打击 （像前面出现的slam一样，内含“猛烈”的意思）
hole-punch 打孔机（此词让我想起了前面出现的egg beater打蛋器，搅蛋器）

As he climbs back through the hole to his cell, Michael pauses at an unexpected sight. Bob is restrained on Michael’s bunk, dazed and beaten, but conscious. Abruzzi and T-Bag stand nearby. “We have a problem,” Abruzzi announces. “Bob here has seen the hole and he needs to go away,” T-Bag chimes in. None of this is in Michael’s plan. He takes a moment to collect his thoughts, then announces, firstly, no one is going to kill Bob; he is their only leverage. This decision infuriates T-Bag. “See, Bob here knows about our secret, he knows about OUR escape. So it’s all of our concern now, isn’t it?”

Restrained 受限制的，受约束的 restrained on sb.’s bunk被困于床（这里用confined to sb.’sbunk应该也可以）

In the stairwell where T-Bag left him, Lincoln lies face down in a pool of blood, unconscious. Westmoreland comes upon Lincoln and slowly rolls him over to check if he’s all right. Lincoln awakens and Westmoreland informs him of Bob’s fate, but Lincoln wants to know where Michael is. Westmoreland tells him that he hasn’t seen him since the riot started. Another inmate, Turk, overhears their conversation as he walks in. “You lookin’ for Scofield? Come on.” Lincoln, still disoriented, follows Turk down a flight of steps.

Abruzzi grabs T-Bag and shoves him against the railing on the tier outside of Michael’s cell. “You’re in as much trouble as he is,” Abruzzi warns. T-Bag tells Michael and Abruzzi that even if they try and kill him, he’ll scream about the hole. “So you see friends, either I’m through that hole with you, or I’m gonna sing like Johnny Cash.”

Determined to defend herself, Sara takes off her lab coat and wraps it around the biggest piece of glass she can find. She’s huddled in a corner, prepared for the worst.

Michael walks back down to the floor, and one inmate calls out that the prisoners in Sick Bay are about to get to Sara. Michael rushes to the monitor in time to see Sara crouching behind a metal desk clutching her homemade weapon. Michael rushes back to his cell.

call out 大声叫喊
crouch 蹲伏，蜷缩

“ Sucre, I need you to finish what we started,” Michael says as he climbs into the hole. He’s going into B-Wing through the walls to help Sara. “And no one touches the C.O.,” Michael warns as he vanishes inside.

“消失”除了用disappear，还可用vanish（消失，突然不见），vanish还有化为乌有，消灭的意思

Lincoln continues following Turk, who insists he knows a shortcut. As they enter a dark room, Turk’s green string bracelet is visible.

Michael climbs through the catwalks again and rushes up to the roof. He can see Sara beating on the sealed window of her medical office. Her eyes are frantic as the inmates are about to break through…

Tensions run high as chaos continues to erupt behind the walls of Fox River. Military choppers circle the yard as reinforcements on the ground secure the perimeter. On the roof, overlooking the activity, Michael crouches behind an exhaust vent to stay hidden from the helicopter. When it passes, he deftly removes the vent’s protective grating and crawls inside.

As National Guard soldiers coordinate behind them, Pope and Bellick walk to the command center. With the water shut off, Pope expects that unbearable heat within the prison will be enough to force the inmates to stand down. Bellick, however, chomps at the bit to march a group of armed guards in and take A-Wing back by force. But Pope is firm; they’ve got to follow procedure by the book. Pope and Bellick stop their conversation when a shout from the prison catches their attention.

The shouter is Gus, one of Abruzzi’s men. He informs Pope that the inmates “got some demands.” Yelling through a slotted window of the cellblock, Gus repeats the demands fed to him by Abruzzi. “We need the A/C! And we got a hostage! The new jack!” Bellick sends Mack off to find out which C.O. is trapped inside. Bellick quickly reports back to Pope that Bob is trapped inside. Gus continues, “And we got the girl doctor!” The gravity of the situation sinks in for Pope; the governor’s daughter is a hostage in his prison. Pope changes his tack; they must send someone in to retrieve Sara. Bellick evenly replies, “Can’t do that sir. It wouldn’t be by the book.”

Turk continues to lead Lincoln through the back halls of the prison along his supposed “short cut.” When Turk disappears, Lincoln casts a confused look at his surroundings. He’s been led into the tight maze of pipes that make up the prison steam room. Suddenly, Turk ambushes Lincoln from above. He drops down from a steam tower and chokes Lincoln with razor wire. After a prolonged struggle, Lincoln wrestles free of Turk’s choke, and stumbles away dazed and bleeding.

On a flight destined to Washington, D.C., Nick and Veronica struggle with the mystery surrounding Terrence Steadman’s death. They speculate as to who in Washington would have wanted him dead. “You know, before Steadman was killed, EcoField introduced a prototype electric engine at a techno conference. Sixty dollar barrels of oil would be obsolete if this thing ever made it to the mainstream,” Veronica says. Oil producers, suppliers, even the government of an oil-based economy (such as the United States) would have wanted Steadman’s plans to be stopped.

T-Bag sits across from Bob, now tied to the metal frame of the bunk bed. He goes through Bob’s wallet and finds a prom photo of Bob’s daughter. Bob tells T-Bag to put it back, but T-Bag delights in tormenting Bob with the picture. “You know what they say about a prom dress?” He is interrupted by a furious Abruzzi who seethes with hatred for T-Bag as he orders him to leave Bob alone. Bob’s the only leverage they have and is not to be harmed. T-Bag acquiesces, reiterating his team-first mentality, but Abruzzi’s interest has drifted to the toilet. He peeks behind it, glimpsing his very first step to freedom.

Michael peeks under a ceiling tile to witness the inmates throwing a flaming phone book into Sara’s office. Sara must move closer to the door to extinguish the flames, and when she does Stroker grabs her hair. Sara screams as he pulls her towards him with a sadistic smile. Sara stabs Stroker’s hand with the shard of glass she’s been clutching. She runs towards the center of the room and is grabbed again by another hand, this one emerging from the ceiling. She looks up to see Michael, who pulls her up to the crawl space above the office. “It’s okay, I’m not going to hurt you,” he tells her.

Safe for the moment in the B-Wing crawl space, Michael tells Sara the plan. “See these pipes? We’re going to stay on them. They go through the wall and over the hallway, and they’re going to get us out of here. All you have to do is follow me.” Sara, still scared, follows Michael.

你只要做某事all you have to do is do sth.

The smoke from the flaming phone book clears enough for the inmates to see that Sara is no longer in the office. Stroker’s eyes drift to the ceiling; he knows there was only one way out of that room.

眼睛移到某物上eyes drift to sth.
