'Cause we are going straight at them
Hello! 
I have another two questions, kekeke, hope you could take a look for me. Thanks for your help. Thank you!
(Prison Break)
... ...
T-Bag: Well, you want to fight, you are gonna get your chance. Next count.
Michael: Tonight?
T-Bag: Problem with that? 'Cause we are going straight at them. Better catch a square, Fish. We undermanned in a big way.
Q1: What does the first sentence in red mean? I do not understand what T-Bag is talking about. “going straight” ? “at them” ? - at who??
Q2: Does “catch a square” mean “to engage in a fight” in this context?
Michael: All I need's a weapon.
Prisoner: You want a weapon? There you go.
C.O.: All prisoners return to cells.
T-Bag: You are gonna have to prove yourself before we trust you with the heavy artillery. Know what I'm saying?
C.O.: Gates closing!
