America’s favorite jailbird, Wentworth Earl Miller III, turns 34-years-old today. To celebrate this momentous occasion, enjoy the maichan-created fan video below, which is beautifully set to Maxwell’s rendition of "This Woman’s Work." The tearjerker features clips of Prison Break’s love-torn couple, Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) and Dr. Sara Tancredi (Sarah Wayne Callies).  In the gallery is a scrapbook that was created for the "Wentworth Miller Birthday Project" (I had no part in its creation).   Prison Break begins filming in the Dallas area in less than two weeks — June 15!!!!!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY, WENTWORTH MILLER!

West Hollywood, CA :: Prison Break actor Wentworth Miller, 33, was all smiles as he recently picked up his mail (he reads US Weekly!) from the Miracle Mile Finance Station post office on Wilshire Blvd. in Los Angeles.  Prison Break resumes filming in the Dallas area in nearly two weeks — June 15!  More pictures in the gallery!

Filming for season two of Prison Break begins June 15 in the Dallas area. Prison Break is currently on the lookout for a nemesis to star opposite Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller).   PB producer Garry Brown chose the Dallas region because a wide variety of settings were available from rural to urban, all in close proximity.  Wentworth will start living up to his nickname this season on set — Stinky!

The PB season finale was kind of disappointing; it’s hopefully not a harbinger of things to come — like the cursed sophomore slump!   Above are recent pictures of Wentworth Miller passing through LAX airport.  More pictures in the gallery!

New York, NY :: FOX unveiled it’s 2006-2007 new programming earlier this evening.  Pictured left to right :: Amaury Nolasco, Wentworth Miller, Robert Knepper and Rockmond Dunbar of Prison Break.  Bigger pictures in the gallery!

Prison Break season finale (episode "Flight") recap via geniass with 120+ screencaps in the gallery!! Previously on Prison Break, C-Note warns Michael about the heat between Abruzzi and T-Bag. Michael leads the gang through the pipes. Bellick warns the gang that Michael is leading them off a cliff as he’s getting tied up. T-Bag pockets some handcuffs after knocking out the C.O. Steadman muses to his sister the VP why they haven’t killed her yet. The Company wants to fire the VP. Nick sends Veronica to Blackfoot, Montana. Nick goes back to his apartment, to see his father murdered and to get shot himself. The gang is successful at breaking the window guards and Lincoln is the first to make the shimmy over the wire. Westmoreland goes down and C-Note and Michael tend to him. Pope is found in his closet as he tells his C.O.s to sound the alarm. Michael is the second to last to over the wire as the alarm sounds. Manche attempts to escape but falls miserably. Lincoln gives Michael his hand. Manche is caught by the authorities and when a C.O. looks up, the cons have made it over the wall!

Fox River’s lights are all lit, the guards are out and so are the dogs. It’s time to catch some cons! The C.O.s grab Manche and demand that he reveal who else was in on the escape. Manche attempts to tell them that it was all him, but no guard is going to believe that. After a C.O. threatens to snap his neck, he reveals his conspirators: “Scofield, Burrows, Sucre, that Vanilla Ice kid, Bagwell, C-Note, Abruzzi and that bug-eyed J-Cat.” After another nudge, he gives up Westmoreland. 

(Continue reading after the jump)

Pope receives the count of eight cons over the wall as he walks into the infirmary and sees the hole where the window guards once were. What a slap in the face to the Pope! He looks down and sees Westmoreland, dead with eyes still open and glazed. At least he’s with Marilyn now. Back in gen pop, the inmates are all riled up. Pope enters Michael and Sucre’s cell and sees the toilet out of place and knows how they got out. C.O.s Patterson and Mack inform him that Bellick’s out. Segue to Bellick being pulled out of the hole and he is livid. He demands his shot gun as they’ve all “signed their death warrant” after what they did to him. 

Outside in the rain, Pope gives his C.O.s the instructions to hunt the cons down, that they have to ensure the safety of the general population. It doesn’t matter if they have to take them down. It’s been twelve minutes since they escaped. They only could have gone one mile on foot; ten if they had a vehicle. “So let’s get moving!” The C.O.s pack some ammo in their trunks and they’re off. 

Not even a few feet outside of Fox River, the escape team is hiding in the grass. C-Note thinks they need to move now, but Michael wants to let them get ahead. “Nobody move!” The gang gets fearful when they see the dogs heading their way. “They can’t smell us,” Michael reassures them. Cue dogs barking! “But they can see us,” Abruzzi finishes. The C.O.s, alerted by the dogs, shine their flashlights to where the gang is crouched, but they’ve already left. And they’re running for their lives in the woods. 

Veronica calls Nick from her cell phone as she’s driving to Steadman’s house. She tells him her whereabouts and thanks him for letting her go. Nick’s answering machine picks up and we see where the bullet killed Nick: right in the forehead, ouch! What normal human-being would call the person that tried to kidnap them? Only Veronica Donovan! 

The VP is upset that The Company wants to cut her funding for the campaign. Brinker tries to convince her that she’ll win on the issues even without it. And what presidential election are you referring to where that might have happened? The VP wants her to cut the crap since she backstabbed her. Brinker tries to downplay it by telling her that The Company is just expressing their gratitude for the work she’s done over the years and that it’s nothing personal. The VP begs to differ. Was it the energy bill? Brinker gives it to her straight. She can’t affect change in the Oval Office; they need someone who can get things done. The VP tries to stall “Well, maybe you don’t know me so well,” but Brinker suggests that she should walk away quietly before The Company disposes her.

As they’re running under the barbwire, Tweener ends up cutting his hand. Lincoln warns Haywire to lose his Whack Shack outfit since the color will just attract attention but he won’t since he’s only wearing his skivvies underneath. Lincoln mutters to Abruzzi that they need to do something about him. They have trouble locating the van and they’re starting to get testy on Abruzzi. “Have a little faith,” he asks, still in character. Finally they see it and they all getting in. Abruzzi tells Lincoln, “Behind the wheel, Cro Magnon.” What a mean way to make fun of the melon head! Lincoln gets in the driver seat while Michael starts smashing in the headlights. Tweener’s trying to catch his breath alongside the building and ends up leaving a bloody handprint. Inside the van, Lincoln asks Abruzzi where the keys are. He tells him that he hid them in the garbage can. They all look to Haywire, who’s sitting in the passenger seat to go. He gets out and starts digging through the trash. Abruzzi hands Lincoln the key and they drive off, leaving Haywire yelling, “NO! NO! NO!”

Back at Fox River, Pope has all the bases covered. Traffic is being monitored, O’Hare and Midway, the two airports are also being watched. Wiretaps have been placed on the families. The door is inspected and the investigator concludes that the lock was neither forced nor picked. “Basically they walked right in.” An orderly rebuts that it’s not possible; that it’s their priority to lock the infirmary before they leave…unless someone left it opened for them. 

T-Bag muses as to why Lincoln is driving and why Abruzzi is seating behind him. We can see him fidgeting with something underneath his thermal shirt. Abruzzi is grabbing something underneath his seat. Without warning, T-Bag snaps one side of the handcuffs on Michael who’s sitting diagonally behind him. “What the hell are you doing?” Michael yells as Abruzzi points the gun at T-Bag’s temple. Looks like our resident T-Bagger just ensured himself a place on the escape team since they won’t want Michael carrying around “170 pounds of dead Alabama flesh.” Everyone is pissed. Michael tries to get T-Bag to give up the key, as he struggles with the handcuffs, “You son of a bitch.” but he reveals it in his mouth. And then he swallows the key. How the heck does he do that?  

In a lab elsewhere, a chemist is explaining how a few drops of this liquid would put a person into massive cardiac arrest with no chance of survival. The toxicology test would reveal nothing; it would look like the person died of natural causes. “This is high treason,” the chemist warns. The VP is shown going over her speech. 

Bellick and his team have found the mill and Tweener’s bloody handprint. C.O. Mack confirms that it’s fresh and that the dogs got the scent. Bellick bends down and picks up pieces of the broken taillight that Michael smashed. C.O. Patterson finds someone who identified that the van was blue. Bellick snits as to why the citizen didn’t report this to the authorities. He scoffs, “a parked car?”

Back in the van, as everyone bickers, Abruzzi sneers to T-Bag, “If you think I won’t cut you myself to get that key, you’re in for a big surprise.” T-Bag encourages and reminds him to the last time he tried that. Michael yells at them, clearly frustrated and annoyed, “Shut up! Shut up, both of you!" They only have five more miles to left before they reach the airstrip. C-Note warns Abruzzi that his plane better be there. 

At the airstrip, the pilot is worried as he hears the chatter over the police band. Maggio doesn’t look too confident as well. 

Pope is questioning Nurse Katie as to who left the infirmary door open. She keeps insisting, “It wasn’t me.” We see her trying to protect Sara but when the Pope threatens that she’ll lose more than her job, she reluctantly relents. “Sara…had a thing for Scofield.” That’s something every prison warden wants to hear! The doctor had a thing for an inmate! Sweet!

In the van, Sucre talks out loud about how he all he wants is to be with Maricruz and the baby. Michael looks over and is visibly upset by the turn of events. They’re driving as they see police up ahead. “We got trouble,” Lincoln announces. And it turns out that this road is the only one to the airstrip. Should they go back? Make a run for it? The brothers decide that the only way is to go around. Michael fumes, “We’re gonna get that key from you. I don’t care if you got to crap it out." T-Bag responds, "You’re got a foul mouth sometimes, Pretty." Lincoln is not happy, and even less so when the van get stuck in some mud. The team is out and is trying to move the van but it’s hopeless. It looks like they will have to go on foot. Michael is not happy camper to be running the 3-legged race with T-Bag. “We’re teammates, Pretty. Teammates to the end!” T-Bag harps. 

In DC, a caterer delivers bottled water. Another official questions as to who he’s with. “Secret Service.” The Secret Service agent picks up a water bottle and puts it on a tray with two empty glasses.

As the gang makes a run for it, Michael (and T-Bag) tells Tweener that this is it. They’ve come this far together; Tweener’s on his own. He wants to go them and tries to reason. “You and I…we’re not bros,” and Michael threatens Tweener with spilling his secret to the gang. “Now walk.” “We got trouble, Pretty,” T-Bag says as a helicopter is seen overhead. 

Lincoln is leading the team (so much love for Lincoln in this episode!) through the woods. Too bad their bald heads are just beacons waiting to be spotted. They run and end up at a cliff. Looks like there’s no where to go but down as the helicopter looms ahead. What now?

The gang is hiding in the rocks and the helicopter continues to circle around. C-Note is about to lose his marbles and is getting on my nerves. “There’s no way we can make two miles like this, especially with that bird out there!” Sucre looks over and sees an abandoned car near a trailer and has an idea. 

A little girl is seen in a garage playing with her bike. Haywire peers through the window and sees her. 

An employee sees the jet and approaches Maggio (who’s concealing a gun behind his back) about it, telling him that it can’t be here. Maggio responds that they are having mechanical problems and dismisses any help. The guy is still suspicious and picks up his cell phone and informs someone about the unidentified jet. How can he call without worrying that Maggio will shoot him? 

Sucre attempts to hotwire the car. Apparently it’s one of his many talents. He thinks it’ll be easy as long it’s not “an Acura or one of those Chinese cars.” Not too far away by the water, C-Note tearfully asks Michael (and T-Bag) about what’s in Mexico. He’s only been in Iraq, Chi-town, and Fox River. Is there a life for him and his family? Michael tells him that there’s not much of a life for them. C-Note can’t be apart from them any longer and he’s not leaving them behind. Sucre is sure his hotwiring skills are still up to par, “I must have done this a thousand times.” When he fails, Lincoln and Abruzzi lift the hood and discover that he was trying to hotwire an engineless car. Classic. 

Haywire approaches the girl who looks scared out of her mind. What’s he going to do? He advances toward the girl and takes the bike! On his way out, he catches his reflection on a mirror and decides to take a helmet as well to flatten his big hair. He apologizes to the girl on his way out. 

Bellick and his team have found the abandoned van. He communicates to Pope that the engine is still warm and that since the escapees are on foot, they can’t be more than 5-10 minutes ahead. The Pope draws off the roads they have blocked and figures that the cons will be captured soon as they are boxed in. He’s also getting an update on Dr. Tancredi who he learns had no interaction with anyone, left work early in the afternoon, came back later in the evening for an hour and left; all very erratic. She doesn’t have a home line and her cell phone is turned off. Chicago PD found her car outside of her residence and is getting a warrant. The C.O. asks if they should contact the governor. 

C.O. Patterson informs Bellick that the dogs picked up two opposing trails of scent. Looks like the team might have split up, Bellick and company concludes. And all that masking your scent didn’t work, Michael!

Veronica slowly approaches the mansion. Where is the security? You spend five million dollars on property but skimp on the security? VP Reynolds, you have to do better for your brother! She sees Steadman making juice in the window pane. Why would you have you window panes when you’re trying to hide? As Steadman retreats with his dinner, Veronica slowly lets herself into the house. And the door is unlocked and she explores. Oh, just perfect. 

At the White House, the VP is talking to the press about her plans. Before she gets very far, the press has many questions. She picks up her bottle of water and uncaps it. She holds it in her hand while she answers all the questions. She finally takes a sip and she seems fine. Someone else has entered through the back and is whispering to a member of the press. What is going on? Another official reaches the VP at the podium and the bottle falls. 

The gang runs into an abandoned garage. “Where are they?” Lincoln asks. “It’s not going to work like this. We have to do something.” Michael and T-Bag hobble their way into the garage. Michael nudges T-Bag in the right direction and he giggles before Michael snarls, “Come on!” Safely inside, the gang closes the door and before you know it, Lincoln pins down T-Bag face front on the hood of a car, while Sucre takes some huge pliers to try to separate Michael from T-Bag. But they aren’t strong enough. T-Bag snickers, “I guess it was just meant to be, yeah fellas?” The mob boss steps up with an axe and careens toward T-Bag as we cut to my bloodcurdling scream, I mean his.  

Abruzzi has gotten his revenge! “He’s lucky I didn’t take his head.” A shank to the neck for an axe to limb, not exactly an eye for an eye. The team looks disgusted and shocked as they see T-Bag shriveling on the ground and his disconnected hand not too far away. There’s so much commotion that they caught the attention of another citizen standing outside with a shotgun. They quiet down long enough to ward off his suspicions. And they all leave T-Bag whimpering behind next to his limb. 

Bellick is still hot on the trail. Tweener is running through the woods and sees some police cars and a horse carriage on the road. He gets in the carriage and he and the horse ride off into the sunset on St. Louis 256. Eight convicted cons are out on the loose and the police don’t even bother to check the horse carriage? Tsk tsk. 

Pope is on the phone calling the governor. Before he can even ask what he’s about to ask, the governor snaps at him to turn on his TV and hangs up on him. Fox News shows that President Mills was killed by a massive cardiac arrest. In a kitchen elsewhere, VP Reynolds is being sworn in as the 46^th President of the United States. As she attends to her new duties, Brinker comes in trying to make amends but gets brutally rebuffed. “And you said I couldn’t get things done,” sneers the new POTUS. Kellerman looks smug as well. Score 1 for Team Reynolds and Kellerman! Brinker looks miffed.

Outside of Sara’s apartment, the police knock before kicking her door down. We see her clean hallway and lead into her equally tidy living room. So much for have a “packrat” apartment. They find Sara lying on her arm, skin pale, eyes glazed, vomit on her lips and a half empty glass of scotch, a morphine bottle and a needle on her coffee table. The police radio in on the likely drug overdose. Say it isn’t so, Sara! Um Chicago PD…what about checking her pulse, administering CPR, how about checking to see if she really is dead?!?!

Haywire is happily riding the bike off to who knows where when suddenly he envisions the mother he killed and rides the bike with no hands, "Look Ma, no hands!” Are you trying to tell me that Vanilla Ice and a Crazy manage to elude the authorities without a plan at all? It’s no wonder they can’t catch Michael and his gang. 

The team is five hundred yards away from the airstrip which is on the other side. As the gang is another step towards freedom, Lincoln and Michael have a brotherly moment. “Michael, if this doesn’t work out, I want you to know…” “I know, I know.” And they’re off. Not even too far when the police have spotted them. “Freeze! Don’t move!” 

The pilot is getting nervous, “We gotta go!” “I’ll tell you when I got to go,” Maggio snaps. When they hear the police, Maggio orders, “Fire her up.” Some mobster he turned out to be.

Veronica has managed to get upstairs in the big mansion. She has flashbacks: Lincoln’s trial, Steadman’s exhumation, the coroner confirming the dental records, and her exchange with Hale (rest in peace, buddy). She approaches the chair that Steadman is sitting in and greets him, “Hello, Terrance.” Best.line.ever! And from Veronica, nonetheless!

The cons are running, well more like jogging, as they get near the airstrip. More jogging set to Prison Break’s closing theme. The plane door closes. More jogging. The jet is taxing on the runway. T-Bag is seen running, struggling, cradling his bloody hand. Guess he won’t be dealing any more poker rounds. The gang reaches the runway, a few feet right in front of the plane, and wave their arms and yell to catch its attention. It’s too late. The plane has taken off…right over their heads. They look flabbergasted! How could this have happened? Murphy’s Law bitches! “What do we do now?” Sucre asks. Michael catches his breath, looks to see the police getting closer, “We run!” And running they go. The authorities are gaining ground as they’re getting closer and closer. And end scene on five cons trying to escape. Damn you Prison Break and your cliffhanger!
 
Where will season 2 lead? Will they be in Utah looking for Westmoreland’s money? Or in Mexico opening a scuba shop? Will Sara live? Will Michael fulfill Westmoreland’s dying wish? What about LJ? What other things can’t you believe? Find out next season on Prison Break: Manhunt!

Prison Break episode "Go" recap via geniass with 125+ screencaps in the gallery!! Previously on Prison Break, Michael goes into the walls. Haywire gives Michael the missing part of the blueprint and warns him that if he screws him over again, he’ll kill him. Michael converses with the Psych Ward Orderly Sklar who tells him that 40 CCs of a sedative will knock a Crazy out. Tweener tells Bellick that the gang is escaping. Westmoreland and Bellick fight, knocking Westmoreland over and breaking a coffee pot in the process. He’s seen slowly removing the broken piece. Sara is at her NA meeting telling everyone how she’s been clean for 18 months. Michael tells Sara that they’re escaping and he needs her to leave the door unlocked. Michael tells Sucre to work on bleaching their PI coveralls so they resemble Whack Shack uniforms. Creepy Verizon guy warns Nick about calling in his favor. And Nick holds Veronica at gunpoint.  Abruzzi tells Maggio that not everyone has a ticket. The VP gets threatened by The Company. And Michael pulls a shank on the Pope. 

“You son of a *****,” the Pope swears as Michael advances toward him with the shank. He warns him that he’s getting another ten years on his ticket. C.O. Mack radios in at that moment to tell the Pope that they found Bellick’s truck. He only needs two things from the Pope: 1) tell C.O. Mack that Bellick took a personal day off and 2) have Lincoln transferred to the infirmary overnight. The Pope does what he’s told and tells him that he can’t get away with this. Michael snaps, “I don’t think you want to see how badly I want to get my brother out of here.” Michael has him tied up to his chair while he asks how long he’s been planning this. Michael answers that it’s a conversation for another day. He also tells him where Bellick is. As he moves him into his large closet, he tells him, “One day you’ll understand why I did this.” He takes the walkie-talkie, and with tears in his eyes, “I’m sorry Henry,” and knocks him out with it. Michael picks up the receiver, dials a number and leaves the phone off the hook. As he leaves the Pope’s office, he tells Becky that he received a call from the D.O.C. and is not to be disturbed. Becky notices the light on her phone. Michael is about to head back to his cell when Becky stops him to tell him how despite his demeanor, she hopes he knows that the Pope thinks very highly of him and that he couldn’t have got the Taj finished without him. Michael looks sad. Whatever happened to the Taj?  (continued after the jump)

(continued before the jump) Bellick is still in the hole working on gnawing his way through the ropes. 

Sucre looks nervous as he sits on Michael’s bunk and fidgets. Michael returns back to his cell with five minutes until Tier Time. They have one hour to escape, and to get as far away from the prison as possible. 

Westmoreland uses his glasses case to clamp down as he changes his dressings with a clean sock and winces in pain. T-Bag and Abruzzi have a stare down from their cells. Tweener still has some blue in his uniform and rigorously works to get it out. Out with that damn spot! C-Note makes eye contact with Trumpets who gestures to him that he’s a dead man. 

Back in the escape cell, Michael remembers and asks Sucre if he’s unscrewed the toilet yet. Sucre forgot. Michael looks agitated as they don’t have the five minutes to spare. Sucre runs over to the toilet to throw up. Michael softens and asks if he’s ok. They can’t get caught, Sucre whines, I can’t do ten more years. The cells open, it’s Tier Time! Michael tells him, “There’s no going back now.”

With all the gates opened, all the boys have come out to play as they slowly congregate over to Michael and Sucre’s cell while handing over their new, white coveralls. T-Bag sneers to Manche, “if you get stuck in one of them pipes, boy…” Abruzzi tells T-Bag that he’s said a silent prayer for him…and for the entire team. C-Note notices Trumpets looking at him. Michael asks if Westmoreland is ok; he says yes. When Tweener hands over his suit, there’s still some blue left. Michael looks agitated as he still has to unscrew the toilet. He tells the others to block the gates. Trumpets is telling his minions that he’s wants C-Note dead as one of them passes him a weapon. 

In the hole, Bellick has broke free from the ropes and stands up as he’s using part of the broken floor to try to ungag himself. C.O. Mack and Patterson are in the break room on their coffee break. He tries to make muffled noises to get their attention. 

C-Note anxiously asks Michael how many more screws are left while Trumpets and his entourage make their way up the stairs and to Michael and Sucre’s cell. He’s looking for C-Note but Abruzzi attempts to block his way, telling him that he hasn’t seen him. Trumpets isn’t taking no for an answer so Abruzzi relents and he enters the cell to see Michael sitting on his bunk, “Something you need?” C-Note seems to have disappeared! Is he pulling a David Copperfield? Or not. We see C-Note sitting on the other side of the toilet in the wall. 

Veronica and Nick are sitting on the coach. She wants to know if he’s been lying all along. Nick says no and that he’s always been helping Lincoln. He tells her that they approached him after he took on the case. He explains that his father was never exonerated. Abruzzi happened to already have a guy in there serving for life and had him take the rap for the crime that his father didn’t commit. Nick just needs Veronica to tell Michael to give Abruzzi what he needs. Veronica, with tears rolling down her face, asks Nick is he thinks they’ll let her live. Nick looks at her, and solemnly answers, “I got to believe that.” They have to go and Nick grabs her by the arm and drags her up. 

One by one they are going through the wall. T-Bag and Abruzzi look at each other to see who goes next. “Age before beauty,” T-Bag offers so Abruzzi goes first. Then Manche, who looks apprehensive of his size and the size of the hole decides to go for it. And just to be sure, T-Bag gives him a kick for good measure, “Get your fat ass in there!” Michael tells Sucre to drop the sheet. I bet I know what the other inmates were thinking, “Wild orgy in 40!” Sucre asks if Michael got the key to the infirmary. Michael throws some foot powder in his pocket. Michael moves the toilet back in place. 

Sara is still taking her stroll along Lake Michigan. She looks up, feels the cold and pulls her jacket tighter. She looks like she’s made a decision. 

Michael is the last one through the hole. They’re already ten minutes behind. Manche alone must have set them back by five. The gang quickly starts moving. 

Bellick has managed to tear tug the tape from his mouth. And he starts to yell for help. The gang is stopped in their tracks. C.O. Mack and Patterson are already outside when they hear yelling. They stop and decide to head back to double check. Bellick is about to holler when T-Bag covers his mouth and holds a shiv to Bellick’s neck. He warns him not to make a move. Michael tells him that he needs Bellick’s hat and jacket so T-bag pins him down to do so. The gang starts moving past Bellick one by one as he IDs all of them. He deduces that Michael must have been the brains behind the operations. He tries to sway the others that Michael is only leading them off a cliff. But they don’t care! All the inmates leave their parting words, “Shut your mouth,” says C-Note. “Pendejo,” sneers Sucre. “Ciao, bello,” Abruzzi offers. Bellick’s eyes are emblazoned when he sees Tweener as part of the pack. He’s about to rat him out when Tweener punches him in the mouth and re-gags him. T-Bag just gives him a sinister grin. Bellick looks embarrassed to be in his predicament. 

In the backseat of the car, Veronica pleads with Nick, “Don’t do this.” He tells her again to have Michael do what’s expected. She whimpers that they’ll kill her. He puts the pillowcase over her head. 

In the pipes, Michael in Bellick’s jacket and cap tells them he’ll be back in a minute and for the rest of them to put their coveralls on. The cons seemed irked that Michael has left them in the dark once again. Michael reaches into his pocket and takes the foot powder out and blows it against the access pad on the wall. Take a page out of Alias? Four numbers have been pressed including the enter button, too many possible combinations depending on whether the numbers repeat. How fast can your fingers move, Michael?

Westmoreland is slowing down as he doubles over in pain. C-Note notices this and encourages him to keep going. 

Two company members discuss the VP as she is seen drinking scotch yonder. They realize that they need to change who they are supporting. But will the VP go quietly? They consult Brinker for her expertise. She tells them no, that she won’t. She wants to be President the most. If they take that away from her, she has nothing to lose. If she goes down, she’ll take everyone down with her. The Company decides that they need to make a move on her. 

Sara is seated in her car when she finally gets out and it’s revealed that she’s back at the prison. She awkwardly walks through the doors and sees Lincoln being walked to the infirmary. Seeing him there seems to confirm why she’s doing this. She unlocks the door and steps inside. She’s looking at the dark room, when her eyes fall on the bottles of morphine neatly lined up which seem to be yelling, “Inject me!” The strange religious music played in her flashback conveniently makes it into this scene as well. 

Manche is annoying the crap out of Sucre as they wait for Michael’s return. 

Becky is still sitting outside of Pope’s office and sees that the he’s still on the line. If it’s his anniversary tonight, wouldn’t the Pope’s wife have called wondering where he was? 

Suddenly an alarm sounds. The boys panic and we get a long shot of them staring up at the hole. T-Bag thinks they’re screwed and C-Note thinks they need to go back. And they’re better off doing that, how? Michael tells them that they’re going forward. He set off the fire alarm in the Psych Ward. Above ground, all the psychiatric patients are tottering around. Michael looks up from the grate below. Ah! Michael, your plan wasn’t as bad as I thought it was. You do have a way for the team to get across the yard without getting shot! 

At the Goose Air Strip, the plane lands and Maggio and another lackey exit. The lackey is worried that their plane will get spotted. 

The alarm is rendered false and everyone starts heading back into the Whack Shack. Someone is watching from the outside and breathing quite heavily as the gang makes their way across the yard as Captain Scofield leads the stragglers in. They’re almost home free when Psych Ward Orderly Sklar notices Tweener, who is adorably biting his sleeve, that his uniform isn’t standard issued. Does he not recognize that Michael was dressed as a C.O. last time and as a Captain this time? Maybe he’s crazy too? He also notices Abruzzi in the pact. Michael gestures him over and asks if he still has to 40 CCs that he had mentioned last time to knock a crazy out. He gleefully takes it out, hands it over to Michael, who stabs it into the side of his neck. Desperate times call for desperate measures, as the gang stares in shock.

Nick is driving when he still hears Veronica sobbing in the back. He pulls over and gets out of his car. Any bets that he’s driving a Toyota Yaris? He opens the Veronica’s door and pulls the pillowcase off her head. Either he couldn’t part with the pillowcase or he couldn’t deal with Veronica’s whimpering. It doesn’t matter—she has to go. He cuts the telephone cords that are tying her wrists together free. He ushers her out of the car and tells her, she’s going to Montana. There’s still a chance she can get to the bottom of this. He apologizes to a shook up Veronica and tells the cab driver to drive her to the airport. Nick calls his father and tells him to wait for him at the apartment. 

As the rest of the gang start heading toward the infirmary, Michael stops Tweener. He tells him he knows that he squealed like a girl to Bellick but because he owed him, he’s repaying his debt by letting him in on the escape. But once they’re out of here, he’s on his own. And better for the dogs to sniff you out. 

Sara is exiting the infirmary, clearly leaving it unlocked when Katie jumps out from nowhere, clearly startling the good doctor. She tells her that the alarm that went off was false. Sara quickly walks past a bewildered Katie while brushing her off. 

The VP is frustrated as she throws her empty glass into the fireplace. She’s upset that she’s suddenly been uninvited, last minute to a charity dinner. She’s certain that means that they don’t want to back her for the Presidency any more. Kellerman tries to calm her down and reassures her that she needs to stay strong. 

A C.O. is reading his car magazine as Lincoln waits patiently in the infirmary for his baby brother. Before you know it, the room is surrounded. Michael demands that that the C.O. uncuff his brother who obliges since he’s not a hero for $14/hr. T-Bag isn’t going to just let him walk and knocks him out. As he gets up, he notices Lincoln’s abandoned handcuffs lying on the floor. 

Nick heads back to his apartment asking his father if he’s ready to go. Oh! Too late! Creepy Verizon guy is holding his father at gunpoint. 

Becky is getting suspicious that the Pope is still on the phone. After some hesitation, she picks up on the Pope’s call and is bewildered to hear the Joke Line spouting them out for $2.99. I guess we know who Michael called before he came to prison. A lot. 

Creepy Verizon guy wants to know where Veronica is. Nick tries to stall and fails as his father is shot straight in the head right in front of his eyes. Nick isn’t giving up Veronica’s location and he gets shot in the heart. Verizon guy gives him one more chance, “where’s the lawyer?” Seeing that he had nothing left to lose or to gain, Nick laughs and tells him that she’s billions of miles away and for him to “Suck it!” Bang! It was nice knowing you, Nick. 

They make the deafening walk over to the infirmary just as Sara hightails it out of there with Katie at her heels. It’s the moment of truth. Sucre warns, “better be open, bro.” Michael puts his hand over the knob, turns and yes, it’s open. Michael looks relieved as Sara came through for him. “We’re in.”

Sara is in her car sobbing and breaking down over the events of the day. Can we say relapse for a party of one? 

Westmoreland is feeling faint. He’s not looking so good. His blood is seeping through the white coverall. The gang starts unrolling the fire hose out and dragging it to the infirmary. They also start piling the beds and pillows on the floor. 

Becky knocks on the Pope’s door, enters but sees no one.

One end of the hose is going into the elevator. Michael tries to get the elevator to close, but it keeps opening. Now they only have fifteen minutes left, T-Bag points out. Tweener gets into the elevator, presses a button and the door remains closed as it goes descends. The gang wait to see if there’s enough strength to yank the bars off the infirmary window. And it works! Tweener has redeemed himself! 

C.O. Stolte follows Becky into the office as they confirm that no one saw the Pope leave. 

They’re ready to go and take off their coveralls as Haywire crashes the party. It’s too funny that the gang look like deer caught in headlights with Michael’s hand out protecting them from Haywire. He has a radio in his hand and threatens to squeal if he can’t join in on the fun. At this point, Lincoln doesn’t care and tells him “He’s in,” to Abruzzi’s protests. They have to go. Now!

Another C.O. hasn’t seen the Pope either. Has anyone tried his cell phone?

Lincoln is the first to go and he carries the Whack Shack uniforms on his stomach as he shimmies across. He slowly makes it through, puts the uniforms over the barb on the wall and gestures for everyone to start coming across. Abruzzi thinks they need to go alphabetically. When that doesn’t go over well, he points out that he’s the one with the plane. Abruzzi goes over but the wire is already looking weak. Sucre goes next. Westmoreland drops to the floor while C-Note and Michael rush over to see how he’s doing. He’s looking terrible and he knows he isn’t going to make it another step. He wasn’t doing it for him anyway. He has Michael promise him that he will visit his daughter. He reveals that he is indeed D.B. Cooper and that the money is buried under a silo by a Double K Ranch in Tooele, Utah. Because the media was embarrassed by his heist they only reported that $1 million was stolen, when it was in fact five times that amount. Too bad everyone else left in the room heard this to: Manche, T-Bag, and Tweener. 

Becky is now joined by the only other C.O.s Stolte, Mack, and Patterson. I wonder if she knows about Patterson’s wife? They hear the ringing and finally figure out that it’s coming from the closet. They tear the closet open and see the Pope gagged. As he comes to, he tells them to sound the alarm. T-Bag and C-Note have made it over through the wire; two more to go. Manche looks nervous. I guess he realizes that he needed to work out more. Westmoreland tells Michael to “Go and don’t look back.” Michael puts a pillow behind his back and reluctantly leaves his side. Manche lets Michael goes first. As he starts shimmying, the alarm blares in the distance as Lincoln is urging Michael to hurry over. What a way to rush a guy! The wire is already getting weak. Manche sees this as his last chance and he attempts to get on the wire before Michael is through. I’m warning you Bessie, uh Manche, move over! Of course he doesn’t listen and his added weight breaks the wire completely and he falls to the ground. Michael is hanging on the wire, clinging for life as Lincoln desperately tries to grab his hand. The guards are running for Manche and as he tries to climb the wire again. Seriously? You really think you’re going to make it? They pin him to the ground and as the C.O. looks up for the other assailant, the wire hangs empty as the gang has gone over the wall and onto Fitz street. Go team go! Run!

Next week, on Prison Break, Bellick vows that the escapees have signed over their death warrant. Brinker warns the VP to walk away quietly. The Company inserts a poison into her water bottle. “This is treason,” a VO says. She’s seen drinking the water bottle; the bottle lies on its side. The gang is on the run. Bellick, the Pope, and everyone at Fox River is on the pursuit. “There’s only 500 yard until the Airstrip,” Michael yells. The Pope says that the prisoners are blocked in. The gang is stuck at a cliff. Dun dun dun! Stay tuned next week for the season finale of Prison Break.
