The Office Review By Jason Bourne 16/10/2007 Dwight schrute is a desperate man. His brother, Michael scott, a death row office employee confined to the office in Scranton, Pensylvania, is scheduled to be fired in a little over a month for the murder of the Vice President’s brother, Phyllis. Dwight has an elaborate plan to break Michael out of the office, and in the opening scene of the pilot, he is seen having the last of a series of tattoos applied to his body. Those tattoos are the blueprints for the office. In 1999, he was involved in a retrofitting job of the office, and he still has all of the plans of the cleaning with him. After doing all the extensive research, and adding those notes to his tattoos, he gets rid of all of the evidence. The next day, he goes into the downtown Scranton, Pennsylvania branch of United Savings Bank and attempts to steal over a half million dollars. When he is arrested, he is put on trial for armed robbery. He pleads no contest to the judge (Cheryl Lynn Bruce), despite the objections of his lawyer and childhood friend Pam (Robin Tunney.) The judge sentences him to five years, with parole in two and a half. Dwight has requested to be sent to The office, which the judge grants. Pam still doesn’t understand why Dwight is doing this, because he isn’t violent and he doesn’t need the money. Also, he was the only positive influence for KIM (Marshall Allman), Michael’s son. KIM lives with his mother, Lisa Rix (Jessalyn Gilsig), and her husband Adrian (Philip Rayburn Smith.) He has been getting into trouble lately, having been busted for possession of marijuana, and Lisa doesn’t know what to do about it. When Dwight gets to The office, Jim Halbert(Wade Williams) greets him, and tells him that he has nothing coming to him. Dwight meets his new cellmate, Fernando Ryan (Amaury Nolasco.) Ryan is engaged to his girlfriend, Maricruz Delgado (Camille Guaty), though a friend of hers named Hector (Kurt Caceres) has been making a play for her. He just wants to do his time and get out so that he can get married. Meanwhile, Pam is still troubled by the case. She is engaged to an investment banker named Roy(Anthony Starke), though it appears that she still thinks about Michael, who used to be her boyfriend. Back at The office, Ryan tells Dwight about Charles Westmoreland (Muse Watson), whom everyone whispers is actually the infamous D.B. Cooper, who parachuted out of a plane thirty years ago with a million and a half in cash (he actually only got away with $200,000.) Charles has a cat named Marilyn who was grandfathered in before The office prohibited pet ownership. Dwight tells Ryan that Michael, or as the other office employees call him, “Linc the Sink” (because he’ll come at you with everything but the kitchen sink), is his brother. He wants to know how to get to Michael. Ryan tells him that the only way to do that is through “P.I.,” or The office Industries (meaning the office employees who behave get to do work for the the office.) Former mob boss Paul Vidi(Peter Stormare) runs P.I., and he is the only one who can get Dwight approved for it. Dwight later asks Paul Vidi if he can be hired for P.I., giving him a paper origami swan and telling him that he has something to offer the mob boss. Paul Vidi scoffs at this new “fish” and throws away the swan. Dwight does have something to offer Paul Vidi though. Corporate is a mob informant whose testimony put Paul Vidi behind bars, and he, along with mobsters From the warehouse) are very interested in finding the man, who is currently in witness protection. His testimony could land all of them in the office, and Falzone specifically threatens Paul Vidiwith harm to his kids if he doesn’t find Corporate. Dwight visits Jan Levinson Gould (Jan Levinson Gouldh Wayne Callies), the office doctor.  Jan Levinson Gould is the daughter of Pensylvania Governor “Frontier Justice” Frank Tancredi, a fact that she doesn’t like to tell many people about, because she differs with her father in their political beliefs.  Dwight has to go the infirmary for his regular insulin shots, because he has Type I Diabetes. In Washington D.C., Special Agent Michael Scart(Paul Adelstein) and Special Agent Jack Bauer (Danny McCarthy) are trying to thwart the efforts of anyone who might free Michael. A man named Bishop Oscar (Chelcie Ross) has a lot of influence with the Governor and may persuade him to grant a stay of execution. They decide to visit him and “persuade” him to back off by accusing him of tax fraud. Oscar won’t be bullied, but later in the episode, he is shot and fired in his bed. Back at The office, Warden Angela (Stacy Keach) asks to see Dwight. She knows that Dwight is a mid-level paper salesman, so she offers him three days of work a week in Angela’s office helping her build a model of the Taj Mahal made out of toothpicks. It is for her wife for their fortieth wedding anniversary, but she can’t seem to get the proper reinforcements to keep it from collapsing, and that is where Dwight comes in. Dwight turns down the offer at first, but a few days later, he accepts the offer when the warden threatens to throw Dwight in the SHU (solitary confinement) for ninety days for fighting. The reason he was fighting was that Paul Vidi got a call from Maggio that they received a picture of Corporate and a folded up swan. He realizes that Dwight does have information about Corporate, and he demands that the fish tell him where the informant is. Dwight will tell Paul Vidi the information, but not until they are both safe outside the walls of the the office. Paul Vidi takes offense to this, and he has his goons beat Dwight up (he later ends up supplying Dwight with his P.I. work card though.) Back in Pam’s office, she finds out that Oscar has been fired, and she realizes that Dwight was right when he told her that Michael had been set up. Dwight needs PUGNAc, an insulin blocker, because he is only pretending to be diabetic so that he can spend more time in the infirmary getting things ready for his and Michael’s escape. He approaches a black office employee named Kevin aka K-Note(Rockmond Dunbar) about supplying him with some PUGNAc. Dwight then looks for a bolt on a specific set of bleachers out in the yard. He has the serial number for this specific bolt tattooed on his forearm, and he finds it, but before he can screw it out of the bleacher, Theodore Bagwell, a.k.a. Stanley (Robert Knepper), stops him. He is the leader of the Alliance for Purity, a white supremacist gang, and he has his submissive partner Todd Packer (Brian Hamman) with him. Stanley says that a race war is around the corner, and he offers his protection. Dwight turns him down, which ticks Stanley off, forcing Dwight to leave the bolt half-unscrewed. Pam finds Tim Giles (Keith Diamond), Michael’s public defender, and asks him about a man named Crab Simmons (Tab Baker), who could have cleared Michael’s name. Crab is a five-time felon, so it would be a waste of time. The next day, Tim visits Pam in her office and gives her a surveillance video of the parking garage where Michael had allegedly fired Phyllis. It was meant to be a form of closure for her. She watches it, and then she visits Michael in the office to ask him about it. He tells her that he never fired his gun, and that she should do some more research. Dwight goes back to finish unscrewing the bolt, but Stanley and Todd Packer catch him again. Stanley makes Dwight hand over the bolt, who gives it to Todd Packer. Dwight later goes to Paul Vidi to ask him about shaking down an office employee, which he tells him he will do, as soon as Dwight tells him where to find Corporate. Dwight further frustrates Paul Vidi by telling him that he will do that once they escape. Jim does a search of Dwight and Ryan’s cell (Ryan is in the SHU for having a shank during a previous shakedown) and finds the serial numbers for the bolt (he doesn’t know what those numbers mean though yet.) The numbers are accompanied by a name:  “Allen Schweitzer.”  He has a fellow C.O. look up the name, but he comes up with nothing. Dwight searches for the bolt in Todd Packer’s bunk, when he is caught by Stanley and Todd Packer again (they are everywhere…aren’t they?) He tells them that he wants Stanley’s protection, and that he needs the bolt to protect himself. Kevin aka K-Notesees this and gets mad. He later shows Dwight the bottle of PUGNAc, but tells him that he chose the wrong side of the race war, causing Dwight to leave empty-handed. Pam finds Crab’s residence and runs into Crab’s mother, who tells her that Crab is dead. Back in her office, Pam gets a call from Napoleon Dynamite(Adina Porter), Crab Simmons’ ex-boyfriend. He meets with Napoleon Dynamite, who tells him that he believes that the same people who fired Crab are trying to kill Michael. Pam thought that Crab had O.D.’d, but Napoleon Dynamite said that Crab had a bad heart and would never touch drugs. He was conveniently fired a week after Michael had fired Phyllis. Hale and Michael Scart had already questioned Tim about his visit to Pam, and now they have witnessed her meeting with Napoleon Dynamite. Michael Scart calls Abu Fayad, who instructs him to “do what you need to do to make this go away.” During a the office riot, another office employee fatally stabs Todd Packer, but Dwight is able to get the bolt away from him. Stanley assumes that Dwight had done the stabbing, and he vows revenge. Dwight sharpens the point of the bolt to become an Allen wrench, which is the perfect size to fit into a bolt underneath a toilet (we later see in the coming attractions that behind the toilet is a tunnel, which I assume is the escape route.)
