Episode 118 "Bluff"
Airdate: 04/17/2006

Michael sits in the psych ward’s tv room, directly across from him is his heavily medicated former cellmate, Haywire. Michael looks Haywire square in the eye, trying to trigger anything that might jog Haywire’s memory of him. “Scofield. Michael Scofield,” he repeats, but it’s not working. Haywire blinks, looking lost, “Doesn’t ring a bell.” Michael continues by explaining when they met, where they met, and even that he has a tattoo. Frustrated, he asks Haywire, “Do I even look vaguely familiar to you?” Haywire leans in, and eerily examines Michael’s face. “Are you the guy who stole my toothpaste?” Michael smiles at the break through.

A nurse interrupts Haywire and Michael. She presents a tray with small paper cups filled with medication. “Mr. Patoshik.” Haywire pounds down the pills, and tosses the cup back on the tray. She turns to Michael. “Mr. Scofield.” When Michael declines the meds, the nurse pushes the issue. Michael says he’ll discuss the matter with Dr. Sara Tancredi. The nurse then shouts for Carter to “c’mere for a sec.”

Inside Michael and Sucre’s cell, Geary gently flips up the mattresses and does a quick inspection. Bellick tells Geary that Michael has gone “J-Cat” and he’s probably not coming back to his cell now that he’s locked up in the psych ward. Geary then asks about Sucre. Bellick tells him Sucre is in Ad Seg. Geary exits the cell and joins Bellick on the tier. “Middle cell, middle tier. Prime piece of real estate. You thinkin’ what I’m thinkin’? We can promise to keep it a single for a few months, auction it off.” Bellick likes the idea.

One orderly stands behind Michael, threateningly. Another one stands in front of him, holding the pill cup. “Swallow it, or it goes up the rear door.” Michael backs down. He takes the cup, swallows the pills and opens his mouth so the orderlies can confirm the pills are gone.

When the orderlies walk away, Michael removes the pills from his mouth and throws them away. He quickly moves to Haywire, who is staring out a window. “You were right. I did steal your toothpaste. And you drew my tattoo, from memory. I need you to do it again,” Michael pleads. But the meds have kicked in. Haywire’s eyes flit about and he remains silent in a drug induced haze.

Geary stands out on the tier while a hefty, older inmate looks over the inside of Michael’s cell. The inmate offers Geary two-hundred dollars for the cell. Geary agrees. The inmate takes one more look around as he shuffles out, this time, something catches his eye. “Hey man, the toilet’s leakin’.” Geary tells him he’ll put in a work order and have the toilet replaced in 24 hours. After the inmate leaves, T-Bag intercepts Geary on his way out of the cell. He asks Geary “Ain’t that Scofield’s cell?” Geary replies, “Not anymore.” T-Bag watches the water trickle from toilet pipe.

Inside Westmoreland’s cell, Charles holds open an old gold pocket watch. Inside is photo of his daughter. Westmoreland tells C-Note that his wife gave it to him when his daughter was born. Charles turns to C-Note and says, “Outliving your wife’s bad enough. But outliving your daughter... no man should have to endure that.” Charles tells C-Note that his daughter has a week left, maybe two. T-Bag raps his knuckles on the cell door and quietly informs the two about the new inmate moving into Michael’s cell and the work order Geary is putting in to get the toilet fixed. C-Note asks how much Geary is getting for the cell. T-Bag tells him $200. C-Note chides T-Bag, “You actually had me worried there for a second.”

As the cons line up to exit A-Wing, C-Note slides up to Geary and offers to double what Geary is being paid for the cell. Geary tells him he’s getting $250. “Five hundred? Ain’t a problem,” is C-Note’s response. Geary makes sure C-Note understands he wants cash. As C-Note rejoins the line of exiting cons, he assures Geary that it won’t be a problem.

Haywire stands at the window, massaging a piece of clay in his hand. Michael watches him, rolling clay of his own. When the orderly in the room leaves, Michael moves to Haywire. He taps Haywire on the shoulder. Michael has a surprise to show him. He puts his hand on Haywire’s back and guides him into a supply room.

Michael shoves Haywire into the corner, and slowly approaches him. Haywire, confused, asks what’s going on. Michael tells him that he has something in his teeth. Haywire opens his mouth, and Michael forces two of his fingers into the back of Haywire’s mouth. Michael presses his fingers in until he causes Haywire to vomit, removing the pills from his system. Haywire, shocked, asks, “Why’d you do that!?” Michael replies, “I’m helping you. Remember what you used to call those little pills? Invisible handcuffs. Handcuffs on your mind. You hate them. Remember?” Haywire walks out without answering.

A C.O. slides open Lincoln’s cell door in Ad Seg and tells Lincoln he has a phone call, it’s his son and it’s an emergency. Lincoln springs up from the bed.

Lincoln, shackled, huddles down near the ground with the phone pressed to his ear. Lincoln now knows about LJ’s attempt on Agent Kellerman’s life. LJ tells his father, “I don’t care what happens to me
anymore. They won. They always win. I just wanted to take one of ‘em down with me.” Lincoln sighs and asks him to put Veronica on the phone. Veronica tells Lincoln that he’s being charged with attempted murder as well as being arraigned for the murder of his mother and stepfather, and there’s no chance of bail. Veronica adds that she needs LJ to show remorse for his actions, but LJ isn’t listening. Lincoln knows that LJ will listen to him and begs Veronica to do whatever she can to get face time with his son. Veronica says it’s a million to one shot that they would let Lincoln out for a visit, but she’ll do all she can

C-Note marches through the yard looking for another con named Trumpets. He tells him that he needs round up all outstanding debts immediately.

In his car, at a red light, Kellerman leans over and looks at the gunshot wound behind the bandage on his neck. When the light turns green, he heads down the street, when suddenly, several black SUVs surround his car. Kellerman jumps out of his car, as several large, armed men in suits exit the SUVs, led by Brinker. Brinker walks up to Kellerman, “Lincoln’s son, a sixteen year old pothead, managed to track you down and shoot you. You are now a witness in his criminal investigation.” When Kellerman says he can still do his job, Brinker cuts him off and tells him that he is not to make a move on Burrows as he is no longer with the Secret Service.

Haywire’s eyes are fixed on the television. Michael raises his hand and snaps his fingers in Haywire’s face to make him focus. Michael tells Haywire he needs him to remember what he drew. But again, Haywire just quietly stares at him. An orderly comes in and tells Haywire it’s time for group therapy. As they escort him out, Haywire has a moment of clarity and whispers to Michael, “It’s a path!” Michael turns and smiles.

C-Note leans against a building in the yard as Trumpets, followed by several other African-American inmates, walk by. C-Note moves into the line and follows them into a secluded area of the yard. Trumpets and C-Note stand, surrounded by inmates, most of them looking in C-Note’s direction. “Here’s the thing. You got nothin’ comin’. All your outstanding markers, they’re mine now,” Trumpets defiantly tells C-Note. Trumpets refuses to help C-Note now that he’s part of the P.I. crew. C-Note barks that regardless of who he hangs with, he should still get his money. Trumpets doesn’t care, but out of respect for who C-Note used to be, Trumpets offers him the chance to walk away without harm. C-Note smiles, and slowly turns away, then snaps back and punches Trumpets in the face. The other inmates jump on C-Note, beating him with socks full of batteries and kicking him while he’s down.

Another orderly walks around the psych ward TV room, handing out pill cups. Michael watches Haywire down his pills, as he takes a cup of his own. He tips his head back and again pretends to take his pills. When the orderly leaves, Michael spits the pills in his hand. Haywire gets Michael’s attention, then walks to the supply room.

Michael cautiously walks into the room and closes the door as Haywire regurgitates the pills. “You were right, the pills don’t let me see the pathway,” Haywire says. Michael removes the top of his white jumpsuit to let Haywire have a closer look. Haywire’s eyes move over the tattoo. “I remember,” he whispers.

C-Note carries his lunch tray to a table where Westmoreland and T-Bag are sitting. C-Note’s face is badly bruised and he holds his back as he gingerly walks toward the table. He slowly sits and tells them they’re going to need to find another way to get the money. T-Bag suggests that getting money wouldn’t be a problem for D.B. Cooper. Westmoreland brushes off T-Bag accusation and tells them that there is no visitation today, so there’s no way to smuggle money in from the outside. T-Bag tells them that they’re left with one last option, “The Kitchen Game.” C-Note, T-Bag and Westmoreland look over to Jesus, and a couple other inmates, shuffling through playing cards at their table. C-Note is dubious of getting the money by gambling. T-Bag assures him when he says, “Son, when I play cards, trust me, it ain’t gambling. There’s maybe five people in the country that can do what I do with a deck of cards.” But, he warns, if they’re caught cheating, the kitchen is a bad place to be with all those knives lying around. And they’re going to need fifty dollars just to enter, so they’re still in a catch 22. Charles hangs his head, he knows where he can get the money.

Michael pushes Haywire into his cell and hands him a sketch pad and pencil. Michael turns and removes the top to his jumpsuit and the bandage covering the wound. Michael tells Haywire that he needs to remember the piece that was there. Haywire excitedly jumps to work, “I remember the demons. Or maybe they were pilgrims... pointing. Pointing toward the way, saying, “This is the way! This is the way!” But his memory isn’t completely clear yet, and Michael is running out of time. In the hall, Manche walks by, pushing a laundry cart. Michael tells Haywire he’ll be right back.

Michael whispers to Manche, “I need you to get a message to Sucre. Tell him I’m okay. And that I’m trying to fill in the blanks. He’ll know what it means.” Manche repeats the message.

Michael turns and sees Haywire furiously sketching the missing piece of the tattoo. But, Manche is still hovering in the doorway, and sees the burn on Michael’s back. Suddenly, everything makes sense to Manche. The burn on Michael’s back fits perfectly with the burned hole in the guard’s uniform that Sucre returned.

Geary escorts Westmoreland up to Michael’s cell and asks why he’s suddenly interested in the new real estate, “Second story units like this don’t come on the market too much. Figure since I’m getting on in age, maybe it’s time I retired in comfort,” he tells him. Westmoreland looks around and sees the bible he passed to Michael in the chapel. Inside is the one hundred dollar bill he used to prove to Michael that he was D.B. Cooper. Geary tells Westmoreland to hurry up. When Charles offers a one hundred dollar bid, Geary tells him he wasted his time. As Charles leaves, he apologizes. But Charles got what he came for.

On the A-Wing floor, Charles holds the bible close to him, then passes it to T-Bag. T-Bag opens the book and pulls out the one hundred dollar bill. “That’s your buy in, the rest is up to you,” Charles mutters to T-Bag.

T-Bag turns and slides down to C-Note, who is keeping an eye on Trumpets and his former crew on the tier above him. T-Bag tells him they have the money for the buy in, and he’s going to need C-Note’s help. When C-Note tells him he’s not a card player, T-Bag replies, “All you need to know is this: when I’m dealing, bet big, and never fold. If I’m the one winning every time I deal, I end up with a Colombian necktie, know what I’m sayin’? But if you’re the one rakin’ in all the cash, well, I seriously doubt anyone would ever think you and I are workin’ together.” T-Bag turns and slithers away.

Nick enters a common electronics store. He hands Quinn’s cell phone to a girl behind the counter and asks if she has a charger that works with the phone. She hands the phone back, and goes to look. Nick turns and mindlessly rummages through a small display of phone accessories. As he walks around it, a tall, older man in a trench coat asks, “How you doin’, Savrinn? Where’s your girl?” Nick knows this man, but is very uneasy speaking with him. He tells the man she’s at the courthouse and will be back at his apartment in an hour. The man tells Nick that he shouldn’t have to chase him down for that info and he needs to remember who he works for. He grabs Nick by the scruff of the neck, “You need to keep an eye on Veronica Donovan. Not some of the time. All of the time. Cause pretty soon, we’re gonna call in our favor. Unless you wanna go back on the deal we made.” Nick quietly mutters, “No.” The man then tells Nick they’ll be in touch.

Haywire continues to stare off, his hands tightly wrapped together. Michael taps him on the shoulder, but gets no response. He grabs Haywire’s jaw and asks him if he took his meds. He picks Haywire up and moves him to the supply room again.

Once Michael closes the door, Haywire comes alive and shoves Michael against the wall. He grabs Michael by the throat, “You should be careful when you tell people to remember, Michael. ‘Cause I remember everything now. I remember how you set me up, how you smashed your own head and had me sent back here.” He backs off and removes a rolled piece of paper from his jumpsuit. As he unrolls it, he reveals that he has completed the missing part of Michael’s tattoo. Haywire continues, “And I remember this, the pathway. Your map. Your escape.” Michael lunges for the paper, and Haywire steps back and begins to rip the drawing in half. Michael quietly begs him to stop, then Haywire confidently asks, “Now, do I tear this up, or do you tell me exactly where and when you’re doing this?”

Haywire and Michael hover over his bed inside his cell, and Michael lays out the plan. “It all starts in the basement. This line leads from a hatch in the coal room to this pipe system here. And that runs to the infirmary, and that’s how we’ll get out. I just need to get out of psych ward to set things up. Three days after I’m gone, I’ll come back up through the basement and get you.” Haywire is still suspicious. Michael simply tells Haywire that he needs to trust him. Michael then holds out his hand for the map. Haywire hesitates, then hands Michael the drawing, whispering, “If you try to screw me over again, I’ll kill you.”

Nick sits in his apartment, his mind racing. Veronica enters. She tells him that filing the petition with the Department of Corrections so Lincoln can see LJ was easy, but getting it approved will be the hard part. She sees that Nick found a charger, but didn’t bother to plug the phone in. Veronica plugs it in and the phone lights up, “We’re in business. His entire phone book is still in here, 322 numbers.”

Back behind the kitchen, in the unguarded storage pantry of Fox River, C-Note, T-Bag, Jesus and two other inmates sit around a table. Playing cards and piles of money are scattered about. Jesus calls attention to C-Note, who is still waiting to place his bet. T-Bag does his part to ensure the group doesn’t know he’s working with C-Note, “We ain’t bettin’ on CPT, here. Either you got the balls to see his bet or you can go outside and Million Con March or do whatever it is your people do. Either way, get on with it, son.” C-Note shoves a pile of money forward. Jesus lays down three queens, then calls to C-Note. C-Note throws down a full house. C-Note keeps his poker face and pulls in the kitty.

Kellerman paces inside the Vice President’s living room, briefing her on his encounter with Brinker. He tells the Vice President that the Company’s agenda with Lincoln Burrow and his father is interfering with their agenda of simply having Lincoln executed. The Vice President bitterly replies, “Then maybe it’s time we broke ranks.” Kellerman warns her that the Company will pull their campaign support if she does, but she tells him they never have to know.

T-Bag shuffles the cards and begins to deal. C-Note holds a 6, 7, 8, and 9 of different suits, as he banters with the other players. T-Bag flips a final card to C-Note, but it hits his hand and falls face up and reveals a 10 of diamonds. Zach, the old inmate at the table, smiles and says, “Misdeal, bury the card.” C-Note tries to keep the card, and T-Bag tries to redeal. But the table demands that they bury the card and finish the hand. T-Bag slides the card to the bottom, and deals C-Note a 2 of diamonds. C-Note loses his poker face.

Lincoln’s cell door opens, and Warden Pope enters. Lincoln stands and the Warden gives him good news, “Somehow, your lawyer’s petition
went through. The Department of Corrections is allowing you a one-hour visit with your son.” Lincoln looks relieved. Pope tells him he’s never seen a visit of this nature approved, but he’ll arrange the travel. He tells Lincoln that he’s going to be y-cuffed and surrounded by armed officers. Lincoln assures Pope that there won’t be any problems, he just wants to see his son.

Jesus fans his cards, three 7’s, a 3 and a four. He confidently bets the remainder of his pot, eighty-two dollars. C-Note looks at Jesus, concerned. C-Note stays in, and ups the bet another seventy-four dollars. But Jesus is out of money and can’t raise. Jesus and C-Note stare each other down. C-Note’s raise forces Jesus to fold.

Haywire pulls the sketchbook out from under the bunk and begins flipping through the pages. Each page contains a copy of the tattoo. He tears out a page and looks out the small window in his door. He opens the door and reveals that he’s kept the door from being locked by jamming a piece of clay into the hole where the latch catches the door frame. Then, he moves down the hall to an exit door marked, “BASEMENT.” Haywire pushes the door open and immediately the alarm sounds. Orderlies chase Haywire down. He manages to break free, but before he can get through the door, the orderlies use tasers to bring him down. Michael watches as the orderlies drag Haywire back to his cell.

Westmoreland and C-Note wait for Geary near the pay phones in the yard. C-Note jogs over and passes five hundred dollars through the fence to Geary. When he asks when he can move in, Geary coldly replies, “You don’t.” Geary tells him that the price is now seven hundred dollars and threatens to give the cell away. C-Note then goes to Westmoreland and tells him that he’s going to need his pocket watch. When Charles refuses, C-Note asks, “Listen, would you rather be looking at your daughter in here, or holdin’ her in your arms on the outside?” Charles gives in and hands the watch to C-Note, who then gives it to Geary. But Geary’s scam continues. He tells C-Note, “Problem for you is, someone already gave me seven bills for that cell. So you’re SOL my friend.” C-Note runs along the fence as Geary walks away. Charles is devastated.

Michael folds one of Haywire’s drawings as Sara knocks on his cell door. She smiles, happy to see Michael alert again. The two sit on the bed. Michael smiles and says, “I made you something.” He then hands her a poorly crafted ashtray. She laughs, but steers the conversation back on track. Michael tells Sara that he’s ready to go back to gen pop. Sara tells him that the problem isn’t how she perceives his mental health, but it’s more about keeping the information of who assaulted him from Pope. She tells him that Pope will still place him in Ad-Seg if he doesn’t tell Pope what happened. Sara wants Michael to let her help him, but he has to tell Pope the truth about the burn.

Manche pushes his laundry cart into Ad-Seg. He arrives at Sucre’s cell. He leans down to the slot on the door and passes Michael’s message on to Sucre. When Sucre asks Manche to take a message back, Manche refuses. He saw the burn on Michael’s back and knows he must have been wearing the guard shirt. Manche is done helping them until they come clean about what is going on. From down the hall, Lincoln calls to Manche. Manche, a little scared of Lincoln, moves to Lincoln’s cell door. “I think we can work something out,” Lincoln tells him.

C-Note, Westmoreland and T-Bag sit in the cafeteria, despair on all their faces as they discuss the situation. Manche appears and tells them, “I got a way to help you with your Scofield problem.” T-Bag and C-Note become defensive, grab Manche and slam his head to the table. Manche tells them that Lincoln told him everything and that he’s part of the escape team now. C-Note takes his hand off Manche’s head. T-Bag can’t believe how many people know about the escape now. T-Bag tells Manche to get lost, but Westmoreland holds him in his seat, and tells Manche to talk. Manche tells them Lincoln has a risky plan, but it could work.

Manche strolls around psych ward, picking up dirty art smocks. He moves behind Michael and whispers, “You ready to get out of this aquarium, Fish?”

Manche goes about his day, pressing laundry, picking up the dirty and delivering the clean. Later, Manche pushes his cart towards Westmorland, who is pushing a wheeled trash can of his own. As they pass each other, Westmoreland flips open the lid of his trash can. Manche then tosses something inside.

Charles drags the trash can inside the guard room where C.O. Mack is finishing his coffee. When Mack leaves, Charles opens the trash can and digs inside.

Pope and Michael stand together in the hall. Michael wants to make sure that Pope will protect him. Pope tries to tell Michael that his protection should be a foregone conclusion. “With all due respect, Warden, if I had been protected in the first place, none of this would have happened.” Pope looks for the words to reply with, but can’t find any. He finally asks for a name. Michael fingers Geary. “He shakes cons down for money, anything he can get his hands on. He knew I went to college, so he must’ve thought I was rich or something.” Michael takes another deep breath. This is all so hard for him to relive. And from the look on the Pope, he doesn’t like hearing it one bit. “When I didn’t pay, he held me down with one arm, burned me with the other. I’m not sure what he used, but it was hot as hell.” Pope looks away, taking in what Michael said.

Nick throws the phone down in frustration, another number in Quinn’s phone book is disconnected. Veronica reflects on the addresses of the phone numbers, “Two hundred fifty businesses, seventy-two residences, covering all fifty states, London, Martinique, Jakarta, Dakar. Soon as Quinn disappeared, they must’ve erased the paper trail. I’m talking world wide. In a matter of days. Is there anything they can’t do?” Nick has an idea. He hopes he can send his investigator friend in Washington all of their info and he might be able to get a fix on working numbers. Veronica then thanks Nick for keeping her going and focused.

As Bellick enters the guard room, Geary is reading the newspaper and complaining about some baseball player making millions. Moments later, Pope enters and stands in the doorway. Bellick asks, “Warden. What brings you to our little clubhouse?” But Pope is focused on his mission. He moves straight for Geary’s locker and begins tearing in apart. He picks up a spare pair of boots and pulls out C-Note’s five hundred dollars. But that doesn’t stop him. Pope continues his search. He finds Westmoreland’s watch, then looks back in the locker and finds the burned guard uniform. Geary shakes his head in disbelief.

C.O.s escort Geary, dressed as a civilian now, out toward the prison’s sally port. He approaches Bellick and says, “This is a railroad, I didn’t do nothin’.” But Bellick is quiet, Geary continues, “Don’t look at me like I’m some con. You’re as crooked as scoliosis.” Bellick mutters back, “I don’t get caught.” Geary walks off, and Bellick backs out of the way for an on coming transport van. Inside, Lincoln locks eyes with Bellick as the van pulls through the gates.

As the van passes various Illinois farm fields, Lincoln stares out the window. A guard in the van gives Lincoln the run down of what’s going to happen when they get to their destination.

Nick makes sure Veronica is busy working. He then walks into another room. He flips open his cell and says, “She’s here. I’ve got her.” Then he hangs up the phone.

Michael stands at the entry to A-Wing. Over the P.A. system, we hear, “Scofield, for re-admission to Gen Pop.” Michael walks into his cell. Charles welcomes him home. Michael then gives Westmoreland his pocket watch back, saying Pope wanted to make sure it was returned to him. Charles opens it, puts the photo of his daughter back inside, then closes it and leaves.

Lincoln absorbs the rolling countryside. The transport guard asks, “What the hell are you starin’ at anyway?” Lincoln, smiles and quietly says, “Everything.”

The truck crosses into an intersection, and Lincoln’s eyes grow wild. A giant semi truck blows through the stop sign and slams into the back half of the transport van. The van spins, then flips over, throwing the guards and Lincoln about inside. The van finally comes to rest on its side in a ditch.

Episode 117 "J-Cat"
Airdate: 04/10/2006

Michael spreads glue over another piece of the Warden’s Taj Mahal model. His eyes focused on the task at hand. Pope enters the room, “Hey, that’s looking good!” Michael tells the Warden that the plaster he is adding to the model is increasing the weight of the walls and he is going to have to add more supports. The Warden doesn’t mind as long as the model is finished in time for his anniversary.

Pope then tells Michael a story about a dark Taj Mahal built by the Shah across the way from the current Taj Mahal. Becky, Pope’s assistant, interrupts and informs Pope that Dr. Sara Tancredi is there to see him. Pope asks one of the C.O.s to escort Michael back to his cell. As Michael leaves, he meets eyes with Sara. An awkward moment passes between them, but Pope doesn’t notice.

Once Michael is gone, Pope and Sara walk into Pope’s office. She tells Pope that she’s concerned about the serious burn on Michael’s back. She initially believed that the burn was caused by another inmate, but she later discovered other evidence. She presents a plastic bag containing a scrap of fabric that had been embedded in Michael’s skin. She believes the fabric came from a guard’s uniform. Pope clearly understands the implication.

Back in his cell, Michael sits over a small pile of paper with a poorly drawn sketch on it. He taps his pen in frustration, and finally gives up, crumpling up the paper and throwing it away. Sucre sits on the bunk and asks Michael what he’s doing. Michael replies, “Trying to remember the blueprints. What was lost to the burn. Without them, we'll never be able to navigate those pipes beneath psych ward.” Michael tells Sucre he isn’t having any luck, “It’s like trying to take a test you studied for ten years ago.”

The inmates of A-Wing are scattered around the floor and on the tiers. Bellick marches in and bellows out a call to the P.I. crew. Sucre walks behind T-Bag as a new inmate, Annie the Trannie, saunters out of his cell wearing his shirt tied in a knot around his stomach. Annie’s pants are pulled low, revealing pink, women’s underwear. T-Bag says Annie has been, “tuggin’ on too many pockets.” Sucre asks if she tugged on his. Disgusted, T-Bag replies, “I may be ‘social’ in my own way, but that’s a boundary-line even I won’t cross.”

C-Note walks out of A-Wing in front of Michael. C-Note asks when they’re breaking out and Michael tells him he has one more “hiccup” to work out, “The road map is a little incomplete at the moment.”

In the guard room, Michael continues to try and recreate the map from memory. Sucre asks why he doesn’t try to get under the psych ward again and Michael tells him, “'Cause one, I don't have the guard uniform anymore, which means I can't get across the yard, or past the orderly. And two, even if I did, it's a mess down there.” Michael, growing increasingly frustrated, tells Sucre to stop bothering him.

C.O. Patterson walks into the room, making his rounds. Patterson tells them that they’re work is about done. Bellick is bringing in professionals to install the carpet the next day. The inmates quickly share looks, this is not good. Once Patterson leaves, T-Bag throws down his paint roller, “We got a real problem on our hands, don't we? Them rug monkeys come in here, tear up that carpet... that hole's just gonna be smiling up at them.” Michael tells them that they’ll need to do a patch on the hole with plywood and fast setting concrete. The carpet guys will never notice anything. On the night of the breakout, they’ll just smash through the concrete patch with a sledgehammer.

A C.O. steers Tweener into Bellick’s office. Waiting inside is the giant form of a particularly skanky con. The Con turns his fat, tall and disgusting gaze Tweener’s way. Bellick threateningly says, “Hey Tweener, you met Avocado?” Avocado reaches out with his fleshy, hairy arm and touches Tweener’s chin, “Look, she’s just a baby.” Tweener smacks Avocado’s hand away, and Bellick sends Avocado off. Bellick tells Tweener to sit, then asks for an update on Scofield. Tweener, again, tells him that he hasn’t heard anything. Not what Bellick was hoping to hear. Tweener says he’s trying to find out more, but Michael won’t let him into the P.I. circle. Bellick pauses, an idea forming in his head.

The cons quickly mix together concrete, getting ready to fill the hole. Westmoreland quickly comes in through the front door, “Fire on the line!” The inmates quickly shuffle around and cover the hole, each of them moving with the confidence that has now become their normal routine. Bellick swings the door open, and commends the cons on their work. But there’s a bravado to his body language, “You know, you girls have done such a good job, I thought you might like an extra pair of hands on the crew.” He gives a quick whistle, and in walks Tweener. The cons exchange looks.

Tweener moves about the room. Everyone is uncomfortable with him there. C-Note steps towards Tweener saying, “My brush is all sticking together.” Michael plays along with C-Note’s remark. The others tell Tweener that according to rank, he gets the job of washing the brushes. They pile the gear up on Tweener and send him outside to the shed. Tweener acts like he’s leaving, but once the guard room door is closed, he turns back and tries to listen in on what’s being discussed. Westmoreland busts him for eavesdropping and makes sure Tweener finally makes his way outside.

Agent Brinker and Agent Kellerman move through a busy Secret Service field office. Brinker hands Kellerman a folder which contains a large surveillance image of the man Lincoln saw behind the glass at his execution. Brinker tells Kellerman that it’s the photo of a man who used to work for the Company and went rogue. Kellerman asks what the man has to do with the “situation.” Brinker is forced to admit that the man is Lincoln’s father. Kellerman stops for a moment and asks if the Company knew about the relation. Brinker tells him of course they knew. When Kellerman wants to know more, Brinker shuts him up, “How 'bout stopping with the questions. You're a glorified bodyguard, that's it. Your job's to be seen, not heard.”

Michael kneels next to C-Note, who is mixing the quick dry concrete, and asks how close they are to finishing the patch. C-Note says they’re ready, just as Westmoreland enters, “Got another badge!” he warns. The cons cover the hole and hide the concrete. C.O. Geary tells Michael that Warden Pope wants to see him and tells the rest of the cons to head back to A-Wing. C-Note argues that Patterson gave them until end of day, but Geary sends them out. Sucre whispers to Michael, “We’re dead,” the hole isn’t patched and the carpet installers are certainly going to find it. Michael says he’ll get it done as Geary barks to speed them up.

Lincoln stares at the ceiling of his Ad Seg cell. Stolte gets his attention and tells Linc the Department of Corrections re-filed all the paperwork. The execution is scheduled for Midnight a week from Friday. Linc asks to be let out into the yard. Stolte refuses. Linc just wants ten minutes, but Stolte’s hands are tied. Unless Stolte hears different from the Pope, Linc has to stay in his cell.

Inside Nick Savrinn’s apartment, Nick, Veronica and LJ are going over the medical records that have given Lincoln a stay of execution. Nick is still trying to wrap his mind around the situation and asks “Some guy just walks into the courthouse, drops off medical records, gets Lincoln a stay of execution, then disappears into the cold again.” LJ is frustrated that their trail to the truth has gone cold, “So once again, we have nothing,” he snaps. Veronica tells him that a two-week stay of execution is a step in the right direction, but LJ is tired of waiting around. Frustrated, LJ asks Veronica, “Do you guys really ever think you'll get to the bottom of this? That they'll ever let you get to the bottom of it? These guys they don't exist. You go after them with the law, they just use it against you.” Nick says that the law is the only way to bring them to justice, but LJ doesn’t want to hear that. He wants revenge for the death of his mother. He wants to hurt these people like they hurt him. Veronica and Nick tell LJ to relax, they’re going to just stay sharp and wait for the conspirators to slip up. And that triggers an idea in Nick’s mind, “Maybe they already slipped up. Up at the cabin, in the well.” Veronica, reading Nick’s mind, says, “Quinn…”

Nick, Veronica and LJ trudge through the woods near the cabin and find the well, now covered after Kellerman left Quinn for dead. Nick slides the plywood off the top of the well. They look down to see the bloated, rotting corpse of Quinn. They notice that Quinn’s cell phone is still with the body. They need to get that cell phone. Nick and Veronica quickly turn around and look at LJ.

LJ, with a rope tied around his waist, is slowly lowered into the well by Nick. Once LJ reaches the bottom, he reaches out, cautiously, and grabs the phone. “Okay! I got it!” Before Nick begins to pull him up, LJ looks behind him. Scratched into the well wall is the name, “KELLERMAN,” directly above the name, “O. KRAVECKI.” After LJ gets a good look at the names, he asks to be pulled up.

Escorted by C.O. Geary, Michael turns a corner near Pope’s office. Waiting in the hallway, is Warden Pope who asks for a minute alone with Michael. Pope tells Michael he wants him to be absolutely honest. Pope holds up the plastic bag with the scrap of fabric. “Dr. Tancredi found this embedded in your flesh when she was treating you. Apparently it came from a guard’s uniform. Have you been assaulted by an officer?” Michael turns away, he knows he can’t answer the Warden. The Warden begs Michael for an answer, but Michael keeps quiet. Pope gives Michael one more chance to confess and threatens him with placing him in solitary confinement if he doesn’t explain what happened. Michael’s eyes are wild.

Two C.O.s drag Michael, struggling madly, down the Ad Seg hallway with a third guard leading the way. Michael begs them, “Don’t do this!” but it’s too late. They throw Michael in a cell and close the door. Lincoln hears the commotion and sees Michael being thrown into a nearby cell.

Lincoln dives to the floor of his cell. He whispers, “Michael,” into the drain in the middle of the floor. Michael, hearing his name, looks around his dark cell until he finds the drain. Lincoln asks what he’s doing in Ad Seg. Michael replies, “We’re in a lot of trouble now.” He goes on to tell Lincoln that Pope’s got proof that Michael wasn’t where he was supposed to be. Michael is sure it’s only a matter of time until Pope connects all the pieces. Michael is losing hope in his plan. Lincoln tells Michael that the point of solitary it to break their will. This is no time to lose hope, Michael needs to stay strong. But Michael just stares coldly into the dark as he lays on the floor, muttering, “I put my blood into this.”

C-Note, on a payphone in the prison yard, talks to his wife, Kacee. Trying to cover for the delay in the escape, he tells her that his division isn’t mobilizing for a few more days. Kacee was worried and tells C-Note that she called the Army asking for more information. What they told her contradicts what C-Note is saying. C-Note starts to panic, but then covers by telling Kacee there must be some confusion. He assures her that he’s coming home soon. Kacee doesn’t seem to be buying it. He tells her that it will only be a few more days and he’ll call her when he knows the exact date he’s coming home.

C-Note slams the phone receiver down and walks back to P.I. duty. Sucre quickly walks over and gives C-Note the bad news, “Michael’s in the SHU.” C-Note is fed up, and Westmoreland tries to calm them all down. T-Bag interjects that with Michael in solitary, there’s no one to patch the hole in the floor of the guard room. Westmoreland offers the idea of someone else filling it, Sucre knows he’s the only one that could do the job but doesn’t want to. C-Note, T-Bag and Westmoreland keep pushing Sucre, and they don’t take no for an answer. C-Note ends the conversation by saying it has to happen tonight.

Michael sits in the dark of his solitary cell, eyes glazed and staring up at the ceiling. His mind flashes through layers and layers of blue prints. He’s trying to put the tattoo back together in he head. Lincoln whispers to his brother again, and asks what he’s doing. When Michael replies that he’s thinking about what’s beneath the psych ward, Lincoln tells him he needs to focus on getting out of solitary. Suddenly a hole in Michael’s sleeve catches his attention. He takes the sweatshirt off and stares at it. Then he begins wildly tearing the shirt apart, creating strips of cloth. Lincoln, obviously concerned with what is going on in Michael’s cell, keeps coaxing Michael to talk to him.

Sucre lays on the top bunk, his mind races as he thinks about what he has to do next. He quickly sits up and looks down over the floor of A-Wing. Something catches his attention. Annie the Tranny walks slowly through the crowds. Sucre looks down and smiles.

T-Bag replies to an unheard question from Sucre, “Uh-uh. Absolutely not.” Sucre bargains with T-Bag, if Sucre is the one who is going to be running through the yard at night, in plain sight, then T-Bag is going to have to help out. T-Bag tosses himself on the lower bunk, pouting. Sucre tells him he needs to do what he’s asking for the good of the team.

Annie the Tranny continues to skate around the floor. This time, T-Bag is close on her heels. He reaches out and snaps the back side of Annie’s exposed panties. Annie turns to face T-Bag who forces her up against the cell doors, “I take it you are a party girl.”

LJ washes his hands inside the cabin. His eyes fall on the old cabinet with the secret door. He approaches the cabinet and carefully opens the door, revealing a small collection of guns belonging to Nick’s father. He closes the door just before Veronica walks in. She tells him they are leaving. Veronica heads out the door. LJ takes one more look at the cabinet.

Veronica walks outside and gets in the car with Nick who is trying to get power to Quinn’s cell phone. “We get this thing powered up, we
might have a gold mine of information on our hands.” Nick tries the power adapter in his car, but it doesn’t work. Veronica asks if they’re going to leave Quinn, Nick answers coldly, “You mean the guy who shot me in the back? Yeah…we’re just going to leave him here.”

T-Bag walks down the second tier of A-Wing, towards Sucre and Michael’s cell. Sucre meets him at the entrance. T-Bag leans in and hands him something, then threatens Sucre, “If you tell anyone about this…” Then quickly moves off.

Inside a local diner, a news anchor on the TV rattles off the latest update, “Capitol Hill saw its first deadlock of the term on the Senate floor this morning. The hotly contested energy bill ended up in a 50-50 tie. Which means it will now be up to Vice President Reynolds to cast the deciding vote.” Sara and Katie sitting nearby ignore the TV. Katie is trying to convince Sara she needs to get out more. Katie thinks Sara needs something more than the prison. The conversation turns to the topic of Michael. Katie tries to press Sara for more details and asks if she has any feelings for Michael. Sara admits that she thinks Michael is interesting, even attractive. But at the end of the day, he’s still an inmate. Sara assures Katie that nothing will ever happen between herself and an inmate.

Michael sits on his bed, looking over the scattered mess of cloth strips he has arranged on the floor. He struggles to recreate the missing piece of the map, but his memory of the blue prints is failing him. Michael frantically moves about the floor, trying to fill in the gaps, but it’s just not working. Frustrated, he swings his arms about, scattering the strips of cloth. He stops when his hand is gashed open, and blood slowly trickles to his wrist. Lincoln tries to talk to Michael again and he hears Michael whisper, “I put my blood into this.” Lincoln is confused and worried. Michael, enraged, begins punching his fist against the wall of his cell, harder and harder. Lincoln begins to fear that he’s lost his brother for good.

Sucre stands at the cell door, trying to put himself in the right mindset for what he’s about to do. He slowly turns and moves the toilet, then enters the familiar catwalks. Sucre warily makes his way through the tunnels to the hole in the guard room floor.

Sucre scrambles up into the guard room and quickly pulls the table aside. He hurriedly prepares the hole and begins mixing the concrete. He throws down a piece of plywood the guys had earlier cut to fit the hole and pours the concrete over it. Outside, Sucre hears the jingle of keys as C.O. Stolte makes his rounds. Sucre rushes to finish smoothing the surface of the freshly poured concrete. In his hurry to finish, Sucre slips and knocks over a plastic bucket. After hearing the noise, Stolte pauses outside and walks back to the entrance of the guard room. Sucre rushes to clean up and reset the room.

Stolte opens the door and walks in for a closer look. He passes through the foyer, where Sucre has hidden himself behind spare supplies. Stolte looks around the room and sees the bucket on the floor. Assuming that the bucket fell from the table, he turns and exits. Sucre still waits behind the supplies.

Sucre now moves out the front door and sprints to the corner of the building. He looks around the yard, then makes a dash for the sewer grate that Michael used to gain access to the psych ward. Just as he is about to make it to the grate, the prison flood lights slam on and the alarm fills the prison yard. A C.O. spots him and barks out orders to stop. Sucre immediately throws his hands in the air and drops to the ground begging them not to shoot. Two C.O.s pile on top of Sucre, wrench his arms behind his back and handcuff him.

Bellick confidently paces in his office, Sucre, defeated and dirty, sits with his head down. Bellick puts his feet up and continues to work his scare tactics on Sucre. “You know the State of Illinois doesn’t look too kindly upon inmates who try to escape. Bellick crosses in front of him. He’s stern, straightforward, telling Sucre what happens to cons caught trying to escape. “Charges are filed, they transfer you back to county for three months. You come back here with ten more years added to your bid.” Sucre pleads that he wasn’t trying to escape. Bellick, quickly tires of Sucre’s excuses and charges him. Bellick grabs Sucre’s neck and chokes him against the wall. Sucre, struggling to breath, confesses that he stayed out in the yard and hid under the bleachers until dark because he was waiting for something to come over the walls. Bellick tells Sucre that receiving drugs over the wall will add five years to his time. Sucre again, defies Bellick, “It wasn’t drugs!” Bellick stands Sucre up and orders another C.O. to frisk him. The C.O. finds a package tucked into Sucre’s right sock. He hands it to Bellick who quickly tears it open. Inside, Bellick finds Annie the Tranny’s underwear, but Bellick believes they were from Sucre’s fiancé. Bellick thinks Sucre is crazy, “You risked getting thrown in the SHU -- hell, you risked extra time on your bid, all for a pair of panties?” Sucre continues the act and asks Bellick if he understands. Bellick grumbles, “Sure, I understand,” and slowly moves the underwear across his face.

Two C.O.s then drag Sucre down to Ad Seg and toss him in a cell. Lincoln yells to Sucre through the glass. They try to get Michael’s attention. Sucre and Lincoln loudly call for Michael, hoping for an answer. But Michael stays quiet. Lincoln calls for a C.O. and asks that he check on Michael. The C.O., a little disgruntled by the request, walks to Michael’s cell door and flips open a slot at knee height. He turns his flashlight on and moves it through Michael’s cell. The C.O. seems a little shocked at what he sees. He springs to his feet and immediately calls for medical assistance.

Nick hangs up the phone after tracking down a place where he can purchase a cell phone charger that will work with Quinn’s phone. He tells LJ to stay on the couch. Once Nick and Veronica leave, LJ jumps up from the couch and over to Nick’s computer. He opens a search engine and enters the name, “O. Kravecki.” The search returns an address and phone number for an Owen Kravecki. LJ grabs the phone and dials the number. After several rings, voicemail finally answers. LJ’s eyes grow bigger as he realizes the voice on the message is that of Agent Kellerman. He can’t believe what he’s hearing.

Michael’s cell door slides open. She asks the C.O. to wait outside the cell. Sara slowly enters and sees Michael, hunched over on the floor and holding his injured hand. She then looks up and sees the maze of bloody lines drawn on the wall. Sara reaches down and slowly raises Michael’s head. She flashes her penlight across his open eyes, but Michael doesn’t react. Next, she slowly takes Michael’s hand and checks the wound as he rests his head on her leg. Sara assures him that he’s going to be okay.

Out in the yard, Tweener digs quietly along the fence line, keeping an eye on Westmoreland. Westmoreland stands near C-Note, who is squatting and repairing a piece of the fence. Westmoreland says he hopes Sucre had enough time to finish the job. T-Bag walks up and says they’re about to find out. He points over to the guard room as a carpet installation truck pulls up. Tweener sits off to the side, watching everything that is going down and trying to listen in.

Kellerman is calling in from the field, looking for answers about Lincoln Burrows and his father. The Vice President is vague in her answer, telling Kellerman that her agenda and that of the Company just happened to be the same. Before she hangs up, Kellerman makes her promise that he is working for her and not working for the Company.

As the Vice President hangs up, Brinker enters her office. Brinker has come to talk to the Vice President about the deadlocked energy bill. The Vice President says she understands her part and she will vote no. But Brinker has a change of plans, “Actually, we’re going to need you to vote yes on this one.” This request stuns the Vice President. Brinker tells the Vice President that this isn’t about the vote, it’s about how she’ll look to voters. If she votes in favor of the bill, she will look more like a centrist and be in good standing with the voters during the next election year. Brinker finishes by saying, “Besides, once the bill hits the president’s desk, he’ll veto it, then we'll get precisely what we always wanted anyhow, won't we?” The Vice President sits quietly.

Avocado walks up to the other side of the fence from where Tweener is standing and says, “You probably don’t have a hair on your body, do you?” But before things can escalate, Bellick orders Tweener to his side. Tweener walks to Bellick, the rest of the P.I. crew keeps a close watch on him. Bellick threatens to make Avocado and Tweener cellmates if Tweener doesn’t give Bellick some good information on Michael, and soon. Tweener tells him that the P.I. crew is definitely up to something and it has something to do with the carpet. Bellick leaves Tweener and heads for the guard room.

He swings the door open as two carpet installers are taking measurements. Bellick moves around the room, looking for anything out of the ordinary. Agitated, Bellick barks at the carpet guys to leave. He flips the table over in the center of the room and begins tossing the room. He looks over the bare concrete floor, looking for any sign of tampering.

Sucre and Lincoln sit quietly in their cells. They hear the urgent approach of footsteps and guard keys. Outside their windows, they see the Warden, Sara and a C.O. move quickly into Michael’s cell. Michael now lays in a ball on the floor, his hand bandaged, but with the same blank stare on his face. Lincoln begins yelling Michael’s name. The C.O.s close the outer door of Lincoln’s cell to quiet him down.

LJ walks down a Chicago street holding a piece of paper with Owen Kravecki’s address on it. He finds the house, and walks up the front steps. He looks inside and tries the door, it’s locked. LJ moves around to the backdoor. When it’s locked, he smashes a small pane of glass with the handle of a gun taken from Nick’s cabin. What LJ does not see, is an older woman across the way, watching his every move with concern. LJ reaches through the glass and opens the door.

Michael sits comatose in the psych ward receiving room. Sara stands at the admitting desk, giving Michael’s status to a nurse. A psych ward C.O. unshackles Michael from the bench he is sitting on and leads him into the psych ward. He hands Michael off to another orderly as Sara watches him walk away.

LJ rummages through boxes in Owen Kravecki’s home. Inside the boxes are packages full of beef jerky. LJ examines them, confused. He cautiously checks out the interior of the house, pausing to sift through some mail. Then, LJ sees Kellerman walking up the front steps. LJ runs further into the house to hide. Kellerman enters, throws his briefcase down and looks through his mail. The cocking of a gun hammer slightly startles Kellerman. He turns to face LJ who now has Kellerman square in his sights. LJ looks scared, but determined. Kellerman sighs and brushes LJ off, “Put it down, you’re not a killer, you don’t want to make any rash mistakes here.” But LJ immediately fires the gun, the bullet grazing Kellerman’s neck. Kellerman drops to the ground and LJ advances on him. Kellerman tries to negotiate with LJ, telling him there are ways out of this. He says, “I can help you beat this rap. But if you pull that trigger now, you really will be a killer, and then I can’t help you. I’m government. There are a lot of things I can do for you.” But LJ isn’t listening and screams back, “The only thing you can do for me is die!” LJ pulls the hammer back again as Chicago police cars squeal to a halt outside. An officer outside yells to LJ, “Drop your weapon!” LJ drops the gun and raises his hands.

Tweener, belongings in hand, moves up to the second tier. He’s clearly upset. He begs Bellick, “I did what you said!” But Bellick says he gave him nothing. Tweener continues pleading, but it does no good. Bellick backs Tweener into his cell with his new cellmate, Avocado. “Have at it,” Bellick tells Avocado as he walks away.

Through Kellerman’s window, we see LJ being loaded into the back of a police cruiser. Inside, the cop tells Kellerman that he’s lucky, LJ had a warrant for double homicide. Kellerman plays dumb. He tells the officer that he’s never seen LJ before. When the officer asks Kellerman what he does for a living, Kellerman tells him, “I’m a regional sales manager for a dehydrated meat distributor.” He turns and looks at LJ, busted in the backseat of a patrol car.

And orderly sits Michael down inside the psych ward’s TV room. Michael, still displaying the same vacant stare, now wears a white jumpsuit. When the orderly walks away, Michael blinks and life springs back into his eyes. There’s a conniving look on his face as he stands. As Michael makes his way across the room, various flashbacks remind us of Haywire’s exposure to Michael’s tattoo. Finally, Michael stops and says, “Hello, roomie.” Michael sits before Haywire, who looks into Michael’s eyes. Michael continues, “You were right about my tattoo. It is a path, just like you thought. And I need you to remember when you saw it, Haywire. I need you to remember what it looked like. Do you think you can do that for me?”

Haywire pauses, then looks quizzically at Michael and replies, “Who are you?”

Michael glares back at Haywire, the slightest hint of concern creeps into his stare.

Episode 116 "Brother's Keeper "
Airdate: 04/03/2006

Three years ago.

Walking down the streets of Chicago, Michael finds Lincoln asleep in the doorway of his apartment, doing his best to stay warm. “Rough night?” Michael asks condescendingly. Lincoln squints and rubs his bleary eyes. Michael curtly tells his brother that he got his message and asks what he wants. Lincoln says he lost his keys. Michael impassively tosses Lincoln’s keys at him, explaining that he found them four feet from where they’re standing. Lincoln notes that it’s been awhile since they hung out, and asks his younger brother if he’d like to get some lunch. Michael remains chilly toward Lincoln, stating pointedly that he has to go back to work.

Lincoln unlocks the door and enters his apartment. Waiting on Lincoln’s couch is Crab Simmons. Lincoln seems unsurprised and hastily assures Crab, “I’m gonna get your ninety grand.” Crab cuts him off. “Relax man, that debt already been paid.” Before Lincoln can question this mysterious statement, a man named Bo walks into the room. He is the one who bought Lincoln’s debt. Lincoln tells Bo that he’s still going to need some time to get the cash. Bo dismisses Lincoln with a shrug, knowing Lincoln will never be able to get the ninety thousand he owes. Instead, Bo offers, “let’s talk about what you can do for me…”

Cocktails flow in an upscale Chicago bar. Young and wealthy business men and women laugh over drinks while Vice President Reynolds speaks on the many flat panel televisions hanging on the walls. Michael sits at the bar with a coworker. They are interrupted by Veronica, who leans against the bar with an affectionate smile for her old friend Micheal. It’s been some time since the two have seen each other. They don’t chat long before the conversation inevitably turns to Lincoln. Veronica asks how Lincoln has been, and Michael is struck by the fact that she and Lincoln haven’t spoken. Michael takes a deep breath and slowly replies, “He’s umm…he’s…Linc.”

Meanwhile, back in Lincoln’s apartment, the conversation grows heated. Lincoln stands his ground, “I don’t care who the guy is, I ain’t killing no one.” But Bo doesn’t care what Lincoln wants.

Across the street from Lincoln’s apartment, another man watches the scene through a high-power telephoto lens. He speaks into an ear mic, describing Lincoln’s appearance in detail: “ Black leather jacket. Two buttons down the front. Three on each sleeve. One missing on his left, no, right arm. Jeans. Faded. Stain on the right knee.”

Back with Lincoln, Bo hands over a piece of paper with an address written on it. Bo says, “Think of this as a ninety thousand dollar bullet. You start fresh.”

Michael and Veronica stumble into his apartment. It’s late, they’re tipsy, and Veronica leans on Michael as she slips off her high heels. She tips forward into Michael’s embrace, and suddenly an unexpected attraction begins to simmer between them. Veronica slides her hands down to Michael’s and the two lean in to kiss. But before it goes any farther, Michael’s cell phone rings. Michael reaches in his pocket, and pulls out his phone. The caller I.D. reads, “LINCOLN.” Michael sighs. Veronica asks if he’s going to answer it, he replies, “He’ll leave a message…he always does.”

Lincoln leans against a street lamp, leaving an urgent message for his brother. “ Michael, it’s Linc. I need your help, bro. I’m in something real bad and can’t get out of it. I need you to straighten me out, my head’s all messed up. And, anyway, it’s real important bro, you gotta call me. You gotta call me now.” Lincoln snaps his phone shut with a desperate glance around the empty streets.

Michael and Veronica look into each other’s eyes, a sensual charge hanging in the air between them. Michael whispers, “We can’t do this.” Veronica knows he’s right. Michael calls for a cab to pick her up.

Lincoln lingers by the lamp post waiting for Michael’s call. When it doesn’t come, his demeanor changes and he storms toward the opening of a parking garage, a handgun tucked behind his back.

Lincoln stands against a pillar in the garage steeling himself in preparation for what he has to do. He turns and stalks purposefully toward Terrence Steadman’s silver BMW. He raises the handgun and points it towards the driver’s seat, but he does not fire. He looks in shock to see that his mark is already dead. A bullet wound is evident behind his ear and blood covers the interior of the windshield. Lincoln lowers the gun and looks around.

Inside a surveillance truck, Agent Kellerman and Agent Hale sit behind several monitors while a technician tweaks the picture on screen. Hale asks Kellerman, “Did we get it?” Kellerman replies, “I believe we did, partner.”

Lincoln sprints through the streets, trying to get as far away from the garage as possible. He rounds a corner into an alley where several people loiter outside a club. Lincoln collides with a man standing outside as he runs by. The man yells something in Spanish as he’s jostled by Lincoln. When he turns around, it is Fernando Sucre looking down the street after Lincoln. He stands with his cousin Manche Sanchez and Hector, unaware of who who just knocked into him, and of the fact that their paths will cross again.

Sucre then looks across the way to a group of girls outside the club. His eyes land on Maricruz Delgado. “Oh my God,” he mutters. Sucre smiles to her, and Maricruz bashfully smiles back. Hector notes this subtle flirtation.

Dr. Sara Tancredi marches through the halls of a local hospital. A passing resident tells her, “They’re waiting for you in 4B.” She tells the resident she’ll be there in a moment, but doesn’t break her stride into a medical supply closet. She swipes her access card and finds herself alone in a secured section where the narcotics are stored. She reaches for the drugs, her movements quick but confident. She quickly fills a hypodermic needle with morphine, and then ties a piece of cloth around her upper arm to find the vein. Sara sticks the needle in her arm, then presses the plunger down. The morphine races through her veins and Sara’s head tilts back in ecstasy.

Half-way across the world, the sun beats down on the war-torn roads of the Al-Jaber Air Base in Kuwait. Sweat soaks First Sergeant

Benjamin “C-Note” Franklin’s face as he watches soldiers unload coffins from the back of a supply truck.

C-Note stands in a tent before his commanding officer, Commander Meyers. He removes the lid to a coffin at the Commander’s feet. Instead of revealing a body, the coffin is filled to its capacity with beer and ice. The Commander smiles. “Alright, well, a deal’s a deal. Prison guard detail. Away from the front. Safest place you can be.” He hands C-Note his transfer papers.

Veronica hurries through the cubicles of Middleton, Maxwell & Schaum, the architectural firm where Michael works. She finds him in his office reviewing blueprints. Veronica’s demeanor is far from the flirtatious old friend from the previous night. She asks, “Have you been watching the news?” Concern darkens Michael’s face when she gravely tells him, “It’s Lincoln.”

Now wearing an orange jumpsuit, Lincoln slumps behind the glass in the prison visitation area. Michael furiously grills him. “Terrence Steadman? The Vice President’s brother. Do you have any idea what they’re going to do to you?” Lincoln says he didn’t do it, but Michael is unconvinced. The evidence is already heavy against Lincoln: Not only did he know and work for Steadman, but Steadman personally fired Lincoln recently after an altercation in the parking garage. Further, it has come to light that Lincoln had a hefty debt to repay, and it so happens that Steadman was a very wealthy man. Sounds like motive to Michael. Lincoln says he is not a murderer, but Michael asks if that’s the truth, then why was he even in the parking garage? Michael has Lincoln against the ropes, and continues, “Honestly Linc, I don’t know how it’s come to this. And you can’t keep blaming Mom for dying, and Dad for leaving because I was there too. Difference is, I got out. Mom had life insurance and I took my half and put myself through school. What’d you do with your half, Linc?”

In the Vice President’s office, Agent Brinker reviews the speech the VP will deliver in reaction to the murder of her brother. Brinker makes no attempt to mask her role as puppeteer, coaching the VP on her every word and gesture throughout the speech. The Vice President asks Brinker, “And where are we with Governor Tancredi?” Brinker says he won’t be a problem.

Michael walks with Veronica through the halls of Middleton, Maxwell & Schaum, speculating the various illegal reasons Lincoln might have for owing someone ninety thousand dollars. Veronica urges him to speak about his brother with a little more compassion, but Michael can find nothing redemptive about his criminal brother. Veronica finally turns and snaps that she promised Lincoln she’d never reveal this, but it is time Michael knew what the ninety thousand dollars was for. She tells him, “The money you got when you were eighteen from your mother’s life insurance ? The money that paid for your degree? Which got you this job? Which pays for your loft? Your mother never had life insurance. That money came from Lincoln .” Michael doesn’t believe her, and she explains that he borrowed it, even though he knew he might never be able to pay it back. Veronica continues. “Michael. You are were you are because of your brother.” Michael replies, “And you’re telling me he is where he is because of me.”

Michael sits across from Lincoln in the prison holding area, his tail between his legs. Michael reveals that Veronica still cares deeply for Lincoln, and that she told him what Lincoln did to help him. Michael wants to get down to business and help his brother. Lincoln tells Michael he needs to forget about the situation and move on, keep making a life for himself. But Michael can’t do that. Michael says “Here’s the part that I don’t understand…All the evidence is lining up in a path that leads directly to you. They say they’ve got you on tape...pulling the trigger. If you didn’t kill Terrence Steadman...how the hell did someone make it look like you did?”

As Michael struggles with this mystery, a man sits at a computer in a media room, editing video. A massive green screen is draped behind him. Over his shoulder, Agent Kellerman watches his work on an image of Lincoln firing his weapon into the BMW. “Perfect,” Kellerman tells the video editor. The doctoring of the security video is nearly complete.

Sucre, Manche, and Hector walk down a snow covered alley. Sucre is lovestruck, bragging about how “perfect” Maricruz is. His crew says she’s an uptown girl; he can’t afford to take a girl like that out. Hector asks him how he’s going to be able to afford to have dinner with her at a nice place.

A liquor store clerk reads a magazine at the counter. Suddenly, Sucre charges in with a gun raised. “Open the drawer!” The clerk rushes to get the drawer open. He holds a handful of cash out for Sucre to take. Sucre tips his head a little and says, “Actually…this is all I need,” as he almost apologetically removes a single hundred dollar bill from the bunch. He dashes out of the store. The clerk stands alone, slightly baffled by what just happened.

C-Note now covers his post inside a military prison. He strides down the hall and halts when he hears the muffled sounds of screaming. C-Note looks around and slowly moves toward the sound. He turns a corner, and the screams are much louder. He pauses and sees an Iraqi prisoner, sitting naked on a chair with a black cloth covering his face and electrodes strapped to his body. A nearby soldier monitors the electric currents. C-Note stands in shock, horrified by the torture heis witnessing.

Late at night, Michael sits in his office. He looks over his brother’s police report, and seems ready to give up. Michael slides open a drawer, and buried under papers and blue prints, is an old origami crane.

Sara and her boyfriend, Colin, stumble down the residential streets of Chicago. Sara sings in a drugged haze that she brought Colin drugs from the hospital, and she hands him three sterile hypodermic needles. Colin tells Sara he’s amazed that she can work there, and Sara replies, “I like to help people.” A teenage boy rides quickly by them on his bike. Sara and Colin drag on down the sidewalk. Sara turns and kisses Colin. Suddenly, squealing tires breaks them apart. Sara mutters, “Oh my God,” and walks in a daze down the middle of the street. A crowd gathers around a teenage boys who has been struck by a car. A woman hovers over the boy begging for help. She looks up and sees Sara approaching and her hospital I.D. clipped to her bag. She asks Sara if she’s a doctor. Sara says nothing, and stumbles back in a foggy cloud, too disoriented to help the boy dying in front of her. Colin pulls her away, but she can’t take her eyes off the boy’s body.

C-Note marches before Commander Meyers and salutes, the Commander asks him to be at ease. C-Note tells Meyers that the whiskey he requested won’t arrive for another couple days, but Meyers has other matters he needs to discuss. C-Note filed a prison abuse report. Meyers needs to know how far C-Note intends to take the report. C-Note, a true patriot, tells his superior that he believes prisoners should not be treated poorly. C-Note tells Meyers, “What I saw was wrong. And someone needs to responsibility for it.” Meyers pauses, and two military police officers enter the tent. Meyers orders the MPs, “Please take Mr. Franklin into custody.” C-Note is stunned and demands to know why. Meyers says that C-Note will be dishonorably discharged “for engaging in illegal black market activity.” The MPs drag C-Note from the tent.

A judge bangs his gavel. He asks the jury in Lincoln’s case if they have reached a verdict. Lincoln stands. “We find the defendant guilty.” Lincoln is crushed, as are Michael and Veronica, who are sitting in the gallery. When the judge finishes, two bailiffs take Lincoln from the courtroom. Michael apologizes to Lincoln as he passes.

Sucre and Marizcruz lie in bed in a loving moment of intimacy. Maricruz gazes at Sucre and asks him what he wants from the future. Sucre tells Maricruz all he wants is her.

C-Note and his brother-in-law, Darius, stand at one of Chicago’s many “L” stations. C-Note is now in civilian clothes, and frustrated because he can’t get a job, especially with the dishonorable discharge on his record. Darius wants to know how long he can keep lying to his sister, C-Note’s wife, Kacee. Darius tells C-Note that he can get him “work,” but C-Note doesn’t want anything to do with it. Darius says all C-Note needs to do is drive a truck from one point to the next. C-Note is unsure, but he’s desperate.

Michael sits at the prison holding cell window again, rattling off the mistakes Lincoln’s defense counsel made during his trial: they never had Leticia Barris testify, the first cop on the scene changed his story… But Lincoln is defeated and tells Michael to move on. Michael pauses, then tells Lincoln, “after Mom died, and it was just you and me, I remember having trouble sleeping, never knowing where you were. But when I’d wake up in the morning, there’d be this paper bird, an origami crane, sitting next to my bed. I never knew what it meant, but I knew it was your way of letting me know that you had checked in on me. Anyway I looked it up. The Crane. It stands for familial obligation; standing watch out for your own. Maybe it’s my turn to watch out for you.” Michael places the old crane on the table. Lincoln tells him that tomorrow they’re moving him to a prison, a place called Fox River. Michael’s eyes light up, “Fox River?” he asks.

Susan Hollander, a gentle, middle-aged mother of two is preparing dinner at home while her son and her daughter set the table. Her daughter Gracie asks why there’s an extra place setting. Susan tells her children that “mommy’s friend is coming over for dinner again.” The doorbell rings and she asks them to go wash their hands. She takes one more look at herself in the mirror, then opens the door to Theodore Bagwell. In a pressed, collared shirt and khakis, he stands behind the gated door with bags full of food and a smile so genuine, one would never guess he was the same man known as T-Bag inside Fox River. “Evening, Mrs. Hollander,” He says with a warm smile. “Don’t you look lovely this evening.”

Michael makes his way through the Middleton, Maxwell & Schaum offices late after working hours. He continues to check his back as he makes his way to a file cabinet. He squats down and opens a drawer labeled, “FOX RIVER.” He grabs several plastic tubes full of blueprints and steals away.

Sucre, Hector and Manche stand in the backyard of an apartment complex. Sucre proudly beams, “I’m gonna do it.” He’s going to propose to Maricruz. Hector laughs, knowing that there’s no way Sucre can afford a ring. Sucre is insulted but Hector says, “I’m trying to protect you. You think you’re gonna be able to give her everything she wants?” Sucre is hurt. He loves Maricruz. Manche puts his arm around Sucre, “Seriously Primo, how are you going to afford a ring for a girl like that?”

The same store clerk from before sits at the counter, reading a magazine. Sucre slowly approaches the counter, much less aggressive than last time. The clerk opens the drawer and hands Sucre a single one-hundred dollar bill. Sucre politely tells the clerk, “Actually…I think I’m gonna need a little more this time.” The clerk hands Sucre all the cash. Outside, the cops are already arriving. Sucre is busted. In the dark, across the street from the store, Hector watches, the number 911 is still on his cell phone.

The Vice President sits in her office, Kellerman next to her. She wants to know if everything is on track with Lincoln’s case. Kellerman tells her that everything is quiet and no one is making noise. The Vice President confides in Kellerman, “God, I can’t remember the last time I was this much of a nervous wreck.” Kellerman hands the Vice President a real estate listing for a secluded piece of property in Blackfoot, Montana.

Sara sits in a community center, surrounded by fellow recovering addicts. She’s a different person now, stronger and free of drugs. She speaks about getting her life back on track, and thinks the best thing for her to do right now is to get back to work. “I want to help people to get from where I am to where I’ve been.”

After the meeting adjourns, Sara fills a paper cup with coffee. She is approached by a quiet, almost shy man who we recognized as Captain Brad Bellick. “Hey Sara, you used to be a doctor, right?” He says he might know of a job opening where he works, at Fox River. Sara is interested to hear more, and Bellick stutters nervously as he asks her to dinner. Sara, smiles politely and tells him that she’s working on her resume that night. Bellick tries to hide his disappointment from the rejection.

Inside Michael’s apartment he looks over a massive blank wall. In the center is a newspaper clipping about Lincoln’s case. He opens the plastic tubes and unrolls blueprints of the cell block.

C-Note drives a truck through the night. He looks over at photo of his wife and daughter, not happy about what he’s doing but knows it has to be done. Suddenly, police cars pull up along side the truck. C-Note knows he’s busted.

Theodore sits at the dinning room table with Gracie Hollander, helping her with her multiplication tables. He shows her a trick to remember and Gracie excitedly catches on and dances away. Susan whispers, “Thank you,” to Theodore. She kisses him and then heads into the kitchen. Theodore turns to watch the kids. While in the kitchen, Susan turns around and sees a crime stopper style show on television. The show host stands next to a graphic of Theodore Bagwell’s mug shot. Susan stands frozen, suddenly aware of the monster sitting in the living room with her children.

Michael continues assembling information on his apartment wall. Index cards cover blueprints of the pipes in the prison’s underbelly and he tries to memorize the route he’ll need to take to break out of Fox River. As the night continues, Michael grows more and more frustrated with every wrong turn he makes. The doorbell rings, giving Michael a much needed break from the project. He opens the door for a delivery girl. He hands her some money and sees that her arms and chest are completely covered in tattoos. Michael smiles and thanks her.

C-Note walks into his house to find his wife and daughter reading together on the couch. C-Note looks with love and regret at them until Dede sees him and jumps into his arms. Darius walks in the door behind him. After a moment of hesitation, C-Note tells Kacee that he’s being shipped back to Iraq: his unit is being called back for another tour. Darius interrupts the moment and asks if C-Note can help him out back. Behind the house Darius tells C-Note that pretending he’s back in Iraq is crazy. But C-Note knows Darius will take care of Kacee and Dede. C-Note says that Darius owes C-Note for driving the truck and taking the rap for it.

Michael sits at his desk, laying tracing paper on top of the Fox River blueprints. The first layer maps Michael’s route through the pipes, the next later is the design for the demon holding the sword piece of his tattoo. Scattered across his desk are sketches for other tattoo pieces, including “ALLEN SCHWEITZER,” “CUTE POISON,” and a mysterious piece, “boLshoi booze.”

In a rustic bar south of the Mexican border, Michael stands next a to shady looking man. The man probes Michael, “Why do you want to…” But Michael cuts him off, “I want what I want.” The man sizes Michael up and smiles. He then slides him a piece of paper and tells Michael, “You show this to anyone else, and I’m calling the whole thing off.” Michael smiles, on the paper are the words, “boLshoi booze.”

Back on Michael’s desk, another piece is shown, bold letter spells, “RIPE CHANCE WOODS.”

Michael stands in a cemetery with a shovel, the ground covered with snow. He stares down at the headstone for a moment, then hoists the shovel up and smashes it into the earth.

In his loft, Michael’s hands scan the now covered wall. Newspaper articles, blueprints and note cards have created a complex web. Items that stand out are articles about John Abruzzi, an ad for “Czechoslovakian Brides,” and a history of Warden Pope. Michael writes, “PUGNAC” on a sticky note, and presses it to a copied article full of chemical compounds.

Susan Hollander sits in the visitation room of Fox River. On the other side of the glass is Theordore “T-Bag” Bagwell. Susan tells T-Bag that her therapist told her to confront T-Bag and tell him how betrayed she feels. T-Bag, in a moment of never seen weakness, admits to Susan, “You think you’re the only one who feels betrayed? I loved you, Susan. Real love. For the first time in my life. And then to have you do me like that, to just throw me to the dogs, toss me out the back door like bath water…” Susan cuts him off, “You’re a murderer, Teddy!” As he continues to speak, his face grows cold. He tells Susan that he had changed for her, but when she sent him to Fox River, it was like he was home again. He raises his head and looks her in the eyes, “You know, some day, I’m gonna get out of here. And don’t think I won’t remember what your front steps look like, Susan.” Susan spits on the glass between them, and storms out of visitation.

In the remote woods of Blackfoot, Montana, The Vice President slices up vegetables and places them in a blender. She slowly walks out into the living room and speaks to a man sitting in a large leather chair. “It’s almost over now. Burrows will be dead soon. And then things will start getting back to normal.” She pauses, sensing frustration from the other person, “I know you’ve been through a lot, but I promise you, the worst is behind us.” The man in the chair places his drink on the table, then reaches into another mug containing a set of false teeth. The Vice President walks away, and the man, Terrence Steadman, turns towards her and says drying, “My dear sister, you have no idea what I’ve been through.

Michael stands before a mirror, finishing donning his best suit. In fact, it’s the same suit he will be arrested in during his bank heist. He methodically straightens his tie, his jaw set in a stern resolution. He turns to leave his apartment, but he stops first at a glass table, where his hands hover over two pistols.

Prison Break
Episode 115"By the Skin & the Teeth"
Airdate: 03/27/2006

The clock on the execution room wall reads 11:58 PM. Only minutes before Lincoln Burrows’ execution, Bellick and Pope stand off to the side as two C.O.s strap Lincoln into the chair. Lincoln clenches his hands around the arms of the chair and breathes deeply as the C.O.s attach the final bolts to the headpiece.

Warden Pope nods to Bellick to open the curtain to the viewing room, revealing Michael, sitting on the other side of the glass. Lincoln’s jaw tightens. He scans the people in the viewing room. An older man, off in the corner, removes a baseball hat to reveal salt and pepper hair. Lincoln squints at the man, a trace of recognition in his eyes. Lincoln quietly urges his brother to turn around, but the headpiece restraints restrict his speech. Michael can’t figure out what his brother is trying to tell him.

The C.O.s drop a black hood over Lincoln’s face and step away from the chair. The Pope checks the clock while another C.O. mans the switches that activates the electric current into the chair.

A telephone inside the execution chamber rings and the red light on faceplate blinks furiously.

Without warning, the C.O.s close the curtain.

Michael jumps to his feet, “What’s going on?” He looks to Veronica for an answer, but she has none. He steps closer the window and looks into the black, “What the hell is going on in there?”

Michael anxiously waits in the final visitation room with Veronica. Finally, Warden Pope enters, escorted by a guard. “I can’t tell you how sorry I am that you had to go through all this,” he offers. After another tense moment, the jingling of chains and shackles intensifies. Lincoln numbly pads around the corner, guided by a C.O.. Michael asks what happened and Pope tells him that new evidence has surfaced that Judge Kessler felt warranted a delay of the execution. Veronica quickly exits, heading out to get more information from Judge Kessler. Once she’s gone, Lincoln, still in shock, asks Michael if he saw the man in the room. Michael is confused by his brother’s question and says he did not. Lincoln moves forward and grits his teeth, “It was dad…” Michael says that it’s not possible. There were only a few people in the viewing room, Michael contends, and why would their father return now, nearly thirty years after he left them? But Lincoln is sure. He saw their father.

“Why is he still alive?” the Vice President furiously asks Agent Kellerman and Samantha Brinker. Kellerman tells her that new information has been leaked to the Judge. The Vice President and Brinker are quick to point the finger at Kellerman’s deceased partner, Agent Danny Hale. Kellerman counters that if Hale had given Veronica anything of value, she would have brought it to Judge Kessler during the appeal. Kellerman frankly implies that the leak could have come from The Company. The Vice President orders them to find the leak.

Peter Tucci, the Vice President’s council, and Veronica sit before Judge Kessler in his chambers where the Judge explains why he granted the stay. He received a folder with two pieces of paper inside. “One is Terrence Steadman’s autopsy report. In it, his appendix is noted as present and unremarkable. The other paper is an operative report from when Mr. Steadman was twelve years-old. The procedure was an appendectomy.” Tucci is suspicious of the evidence’s authenticity, Veronica wastes no time requesting that Lincoln’s conviction be overturned. The Judge says that he’s delaying the execution for two weeks while he analyzes the reports and exhumes the body of the Vice President’s brother. Tucci shouts that an exhumation is a drastic step, but the Judge defends that it’s the only way to be sure that the body in the ground is actually Steadman.

Michael stands at the phones in the yard. Veronica eagerly fills him in on the events that took place in the Judge’s chambers.

Back in his cell, Michael stands with his arm out the front doors, using a mirror to check the location of the guards. He has filled Sucre in on all the events involving Lincoln, and Michael tells him that he’s not going to wait around hoping that the body is not Terrence Steadman’s. If they have two more weeks, Michael wants to get back to work on their escape plan.

Pope stands in the door of Lincoln’s Ad Seg cell. He’s never seen anything like this before; Lincoln clearly has people you will do anything to get him out of Fox River. As the Warden turns to leave, Lincoln asks Pope who was in the viewing room for his execution. Warden Pope flips through a stack of papers and tells Lincoln, “those present were your brother and attorney, Dr. Tancredi and three reporters. Two women and one man.” Lincoln inquires about the man, Pope tells him, “Reporter from the Headline Press. William Prall. You know him?” Lincoln says no, and hangs his head, sad and confused. Pope calls for a guard, who shuts the Ad Seg door.

Sucre holds a mirror while Michael, shirtless, scans the tattoo on his upper right shoulder blade, looking for another way out. Sucre wonders why Michael didn’t just have “Route 66” hidden in the tattoos, and Michael tells him that he had to plan for contingencies. Michael thinks he’s found a new way out, but it’s going to be very dangerous.
Michael, T-Bag, C-Note, Sucre and Westmoreland, decked out in winter P.I. gear, spread salt over the sally port road and clean up the snow around it. After some small talk, Michael gets down to business. As they work, Michael tells them they’re still going out through the infirmary and starting in the guards’ room. Michael tells them the only way to get to the infirmary now is to go through the Psychiatric Ward. Unfortunately, Route 66 will only take them halfway there underground. The rest of the way, they have to cover on foot, above ground. C-Note eyes the three towers surrounding the yard. If they show their faces, they’ll be like ducks in a shooting gallery. But there’s no other way.

Back in their cell, Michael tells Sucre that he has to go back into the walls. He needs to find a way to the psych ward and see the pipes and sewers beneath. Sucre shares C-Note’s concerns about the towers, and Michael agrees. Across the block, Sucre’s cousin, Manche Sanchez, pushes a laundry bin across the catwalks. Sucre tells Michael he might have an idea.

The Vice President speaks at a press conference, she tells the press, “My family and I are more than dismayed by Judge Kessler’s decision to allow the exhumation of my brother.” As she speaks, Nick and Veronica stand by as a small crane lifts a very badly rotted coffin from the snow covered ground. The Vice President continues her passionate speech, saying it’s a stunt by Lincoln’s defense council to put a negative spin on the memory of a good man.

Veronica and Nick comment how convenient it is that Steadman asked for a “green burial.” It is very environmentally friendly, but also a great scheme for someone who wanted to conceal a corpse’s identity.

Sucre and Manche walk through the laundry room. Manche denies Sucre’s mysterious request. Manche wants nothing to do with it and fears what might happen if either of their mothers find out they got in trouble in Fox River. Sucre reminds Manche that he owes Sucre a favor. The two bicker back and forth, reminding each other of old favors, until Sucre pulls his trump card. “The donkey,” he says sternly. Manche is shocked that Sucre would stoop to that level and reminds Sucre that they took an oath to never tell anyone about that incident. Sucre threatens, “Don’t make me break it.”

Lincoln, asleep in his cell, dreams of the past. He is a small boy, walking with his father towards the grand entrances of Wrigley Field in Chicago. Young Lincoln and his father sit close to the field, his father tells Lincoln to watch a nearby pitcher who warms up before the game.

Manche does his best to slide into Sucre and Michael’s cell. Sucre sits up quickly and asks Manche, “You got it?” Manche gives a look to Michael to make sure he’s cool, Sucre says it’s alright. Manche slides a suit wrapped in plastic out from underneath the front of his prison blues. Sucre hands the package to Michael as Manche informs them that he’ll need it back by morning, otherwise the guards will know something is up.

The cons continue their slow rebuild of the guards’ room. Michael paces with a crowbar over his shoulder. C-Note and Westmoreland haul in some more lumber and along the way, C-Note drops something. Westmoreland picks it up and examines it. It’s a postcard to Iraq. C-Note snatches the card away.

Bellick marches around the corner of the guards’ room, en route to the front door. T-Bag, on lookout, snakes back into the room to warn the cons that trouble is coming.

“Let’s look busy,” Michael orders. C-note notices a small tear in the drywall, and picks at it. And that is just enough to worsen the problem. The cement hidden in the walls from digging up the floor begins to slowly pour through the tear. C-Note scrambles to fix the problem, but before he can, Bellick enters. He’s angry that the job has taken them so long to complete and tosses insults at the bunch. C-Note presses his foot against the tear, hoping to slow the problem, but Bellick singles him out and orders him back to work. C-Note does his best to hold his spot, claiming his leg is asleep. But Bellick insists that he move. Westmoreland shoves C-Note out to of the way and pretends to lay into him, “My problem is young con punks who don’t know how things work around here. Screw things up for those of us who do. Construction’s a sweet gig. You wanna clean toilets, be my guest. Otherwise, grab a hammer.” Bellick smiles, seeing his old friend Westmoreland light a fire under C-Note. Westmoreland’s foot conceals the slow flow of concrete, as Bellick leaves the room. “Close one, huh?” he notes to the group. But when he moves his foot away, the weight of the concrete forces the hole to expand and the concrete flows out.

C.O.s Stolte and Patterson pass Bellick on their rounds, debating about where an old football player attended college. When the two can’t make a decision, they move towards T-Bag, who is outside keeping watch. T-Bag quickly bangs his clipboard on the front door to alert the P.I. team, who frantically sweep the concrete into the hole in the floor below. Stolte asks T-Bag where he thinks the player went to school, but T-Bag can only muster a nervous “Not exactly sure there, boss.” The cons continue to shovel the concrete into the hole. T-Bag’s answer doesn’t help Stolte and he decides to ask the crew in the guards’ room. Just as he cracks the door and the cons freeze, T-Bag blurts “Ohio State.” Stolte pauses. “That’s right! He was a Buckeye!” Stolte closes the door and continues on his way with Patterson.

Sara removes a blood pressure cuff from Lincoln’s arm. She asks him about his stomach, and he says he’s a little nauseous. Sara notes that it’s understandable considering his situation. As Sara packs up Lincoln asks her. “With all that was going on yesterday. Heart racing. Head pounding. Could that all cause me to see something that wasn’t there?” Sara says yes, he may have seen spots or bright lights, but that’s not what Lincoln meant. He says he saw a person, someone who couldn’t have been there. Sara tells him that his hallucinations may be caused by Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and he’s a prime candidate for it. When Sara asks who it was that Lincoln thought he saw, he just thanks her for coming.

In the guards’ room, it’s business as usual. Westmoreland patches drywall next to C-Note, and quietly offers, “I’ve seen a lot of rackets in my time, but if you’re doing what I think you’re doing with those postcards…yours definitely takes the cake.” C-Note tries to brush the Old Head off, but Westmoreland is persistent. “What do you do? Write ‘em here, send ‘em to a pal in Iraq, have him mail ‘em your wife’s way?” C-Note grows increasingly frustrated with Westmoreland’s questioning. C-Note steps up to Westmoreland after he asks who “Dee Dee” is, he wants Charles to stay quiet. Westmoreland finishes by saying he know it’s C-Note’s daughter and family is the first place the guards are going to look once they break out…because that’s exactly where he’s going to go.

Night falls on the prison. Lincoln sleeps, again dreaming of the day at Wrigley Field with his father. Young Lincoln watches the pitcher closely, like his father asks. Lincoln zeroes in on his father’s favorite player, and the name on the back of the jersey: “Prall.” Lincoln’s eyes snap open, and he flashes back to what Pope told him that morning. “William Prall, you know him?”

Michael and Sucre sit in their cell. Michael explains that while the psych ward is their way out, it will be real easy to get lost. “When they built this place in 1858, the pipes were lead. A century later, they discovered lead was a health risk, so they went to copper. They never removed the lead pipes. Cost too much. There are thousands of yards of the stuff still down there. Then a few years ago, they switched to industrial plastic. Again, it was cheaper just to lay it over the old stuff.” Michael tells Sucre that if he makes a wrong turn, he won’t make it back by count.

Michael squats low and moves through the bowels of the prison until he sees his exit to the surface. Michael finally opens the package that was delivered by Manche.

Above ground, the sewer grate slides up and off the manhole. Slowly, Michael climbs up from the hole and replaces the grate. He is dressed from head to toe in a guard’s. Before Michael can get his bearings, a spotlight opens up and points directly at him. Michael quickly waves his hand to the tower, feigning a casual guard’s stance. The spotlight shuts off, and Michael moves towards the Psychiatric Ward.

He rings the buzzer at the front door, which pulls Psych Ward Orderly Sklar away from his reading. Sklar pushes another button which unlocks the door, allowing Michael to enter. Sklar comments, “I don’t believe my eyes. One of the blues, actually coming into psych ward.” Michael tells him that he needs to use the bathroom and didn’t want to walk all the way back to A-Wing to relieve himself. As Michael walks by, Sklar tells him that he’d rather deal with the “crazies” than the “killers” because it’s far easier to control the “crazies.” Michael replies by asking how to get to the bathroom. Sklar seems disappointed that Michael doesn’t want to chat. “Down the hall, through the door, make a right,” Sklar tells him. Michael moves down the hall.

Sucre watches the guards as they begin their rounds for count. He nervously checks his watch.

Michael slowly moves down a flight of psych ward stairs, clearly deviating from Sklar’s directions. He finds himself in the basement, which is packed with antiquated instruments and equipment. He creeps through the clutter, making note of his surroundings. He opens another door, enters, and closes it behind him. He stands in the old coal room. On the ground, he clears the rubble away from a panel that reads, “UTILITY SYSTEM ACCESS.” Michael grabs a handle with both hands, opens it fully, and looks down the hole. Suddenly, he hears the access buzzer from above. Sklar is moving closer.

Sklar finds Michael, making his retreat to the main floor. Sklar asks what Michael is doing in the basement, and Michael covers by saying, “You said, down the hall, through the door and to the left.” Sklar corrects him, and Michael quickly moves out of the old basement. Sklar then asks Michael, “Blue! Hold up!” Michael freezes, and Sklar continues, “Don’tcha still have to take a leak?” Michael smiles, and says yes.

A very decayed body is laid out on an examination table. Dr. Wasserman, the county’s forensic expert, informs Nick and Veronica of his findings. “With decomposition this extensive, the most accurate identification tool is dental records. We took an imprint of the deceased’s teeth and compared them with the dental records of Terrence Steadman.” As unlikely as it seems, Wasserman says that the dental records are a match. Peter Tucci stands nearby and thanks Dr. Wasserman for his time and smugly smiles. Veronica opens the door to the medical lab, where the Vice President is waiting. She coldly states to Veronica, “I hope you’re proud of this. You’ve gotten your pound of flesh. Are you done now? Or would you like to hurt my family some more.”

Michael moves quickly out of psych ward and slides back into the manhole.

Meanwhile, Sucre paces in their cell, knowing that the guards are getting closer.

Michael moves through the boiler room. Steam pours out from exhausts around him, and scalding hot pipes make the area a maze. A door opens close enough for Michael to hear and he does his best to duck for cover. C.O. Mack moves into the room, looking around. His walkie talkie hisses, a voice at the other end asks for his location. Mack tells the voice that he’s stopping by maintenance, but he’ll be back in a minute. Behind him, within arm’s length, is Michael. Mack takes a step back, and so must Michael, which forces him to press his right shoulder blade against one of the burning steam pipes. His face contorts in pain as he does all he can to not scream and give away his location. Mack pounds a couple of shots from a flask, and Michael covers his mouth to keep from screaming. Finally, Mack leaves and Michael pulls away from the pipes.

A C.O. turns his flashlight into Sucre and Michael’s cell. Sucre lays on the top bunk, faking sleep. The C.O. shines the light on Sucre, then on Michael’s bunk, now filled with pillows to give the illusion that Michael is there. The C.O., satisfied, moves on. Seconds later, Michael bangs his signal on the pipes inside the walls. Sucre jumps from the bunk, pulls the toilet away and helps the ailing Michael back into the cell. Michael, sweating and burned, tells Sucre that he has to take the guard uniform off of him. Sucre pauses, “It’s burned to your skin, bro!” Michael demands that he take it off, no matter what. If the guards catch him with that uniform on, the burn will be the least of Michael’s worries. Sucre slowly takes Michael’s arms out of the sleeves, then asks Michael if he’s ready. Michael nods, Sucre counts to the three, then rips the burned shirt off the wound. Michael releases a blood-curdling scream, and falls forward.

Michael regains consciousness in the infirmary. Sara is sitting at her desk, filling out paper work. She notices him waking up and asks him how he feels. The anesthesia made him groggy. Michael wants to know why he had anesthesia and Sara tells him, “We had to perform a procedure.”

In the Warden’s office, Bellick bends over and gets in Sucre’s face, “So you got so sick of Scofield’s smart mouth that you decided to deep fry him, is that it?” Sucre swears he didn’t touch Michael. But Bellick goes over the facts, and it looks clear that Sucre assaulted Michael. Warden Pope isn’t sure what to believe, and Sucre defends himself, “He was acting weird when we lined up for final count. He was sweating, you know? But he’s not a big talker anyway, so I didn’t think much of it. Middle of the night, I get up to you know, shake hands with the president, and there he is, face down on the floor.” Bellick still doesn’t believe him.

Sara gives Michael pain killers, but Michael’s only concern is seeing the wound. Sara asks Michael who assaulted him. When she suggests that Sucre did it, Michael smiles and simply says, “Sucre? No.” Michael then stands firm and refuses to answer Sara’s question about who did it. Sara sends Michael back to his cell, but then calls Katie, her nurse, up to the infirmary to show her something.

Manche panics as he looks through the scorched hole of the guard uniform. “What am I going to do now!?” Sucre offers apology, but it’s not enough. C.O. Geary marches in, “Hey slim,” he says, addressing the hefty Manche, “You got my uniform ready?” Manche begins to shift, getting ready for the worst. He tells Geary that he left the iron on the uniform for too long, and Geary angrily tells Manche that the cost of the shirt is coming out of his savings. Once Geary leaves, Manche throws the shirt into Sucre’s chest and demands to know what’s going on. Sucre tells his cousin, “Trust me, the less you know, the better.” But Manche assures him, “Now you owe me.”

In the Attorney-Client Room, Veronica finds an exhausted Lincoln. He asks Veronica if there’s any more news, and Veronica lie, “No. Not yet. The testing takes a few days.” Then Lincoln opens up about seeing his father in the viewing room. He tells Veronica that he used the name, “Willie Prall” and that he’s been having dreams about it. Veronica reminds him of how poorly Lincoln’s mother spoke of his dad, but Lincoln stands by what he saw.

Several monitors play back video from the courthouse during the night Judge Kessler received the mysterious paper work about Terrence Steadman. Samantha Brinker, Kellerman, and a technician watch the video closely. Brinker notes that the guy making his way through the halls is very skilled. He seems to know exactly where all the video cameras in the courthouse are, and he deftly turns his hat to conceal his face as he passes each one. Brinker points to one monitor, where the mysterious man slides a folder under the Judge’s door. “Can you blow that up?” she asks the technician. After a few moments, the monitor reveals the face of a man in the reflection of the Judge’s door. Brinker moves in for a closer look, “Son of a bitch…I know that guy.”

Sara removes a small, dark blue piece of cloth from a pile of bloodied cotton swabs with a pair of tweezers. Katie, the nurse, scrunches her face and asks, “What is it?” Sara explains that it’s a piece of fabric that she removed from Michael’s skin during the procedure. She tells Katie that it is certainly not the fabric that makes up the standard prison uniforms; it’s the fabric used to make guard’s uniforms.

“Open on forty!” C.O. Stolte barks out as he escorts Michael back to his cell. Michael enters and Sucre asks how he’s feeling. Michael peels off his sweatshirt to reveal the gauze covering the wound on his back. Michael holds up the small mirror, so he can see the reflection of his back in the cell mirror above the sink. Panic quickly takes over. Sucre asks what’s wrong, Michael gravely answers, “The blueprints, the ones we need to get from the psych ward to the infirmary. Our map outta here. They’re gone.”
