Prison Break - Season 4 Episode 15

At the Company’s HQ, Lincoln made a deal with General - get Scylla in exchange of Michael's surgery. Sara asked Lincoln about Michael’s condition. Eventhough skeptical about the whole surgery, they had no other alternatives but to rely on General Krantz for Michael’s chance of survival.



Lincoln asked T-Bag about Self & Gretchen’s whereabouts. Upon losing some teeth due to Lincoln’s violent interrogation, T-Bag gave out “Arlington Pier, 3 o’clock”. Is somebody starting to feel sorry about this guy?





As for Michael, he was undergoing an advanced operation by the surgeons. They performed a rare, or should I say, an operation that was yet to be recognized in the medical field, to Sara’s amazement. Instead of gamma knife, they were using 2 long needles to be inserted slowly into Michael’s brain, while he was subconscious. Due to the oxygen cut-off to his brain, Michael experienced a so-called ‘life flashes before their eyes’ experience, normally occurred to dying patients:

Michael found himself back in the Foxriver cell, approached by Charles, a.k.a DB Cooper. From their conversations, and the flashbacks, it was clear that Michael was trying to figure out the whole matter regarding Scylla, his role in it and his guilt of causing a lot of lives during the process etc. It was more of a summarizing moment to solve the entire puzzle for Michael. In the end, he came up with the word BARGAIN, a clue that held the secret for Scylla, right before he awoke from his near-death surgery. Michael separated the characters into: B, Ar, Ga, In. Familiar? Time to check back your Chemistry books for these elements.

Self and Gretchen were still waiting for the buyer at Arlington Pier, until Gretchen got a call from Rita, telling her they were alright, and T-Bag was captured by the Company. They fled instantly for fear Company may now know where they were.

Lincoln and Sucre came in too late, found nothing but the smashed handphones on the floor. The buyer was seen somewhere near, on the phone, talking about spotting Lincoln and Sucre leaving the Pier and what he should do next?





Alex, Wheeler and Felicia were on a car ride, not exactly. Alex requested to go for the men’s room. Unwillingly, yet bounded by lawful codes, Wheeler had to let the ‘prisoner’ have his way, but Alex did get a warning from Wheeler: if he attempts to run, he’ll get a bullet from the back. Alex DID go to the men’s room, but took a souvenir (a broken pipe) with him.

Later on the road, he smashed the car window when he had the chance and ran off. Felicia caught on to him, although threatened to shoot him if he runs away, but she never did. Alex escaped!

General came to inspect on the surgery, and had a chat with Sara. Not a pleasant one, but he did give Sara an assurance, that the 1st patient who took this surgery, lived a long, happy life. Also, he told Sara, that, ‘Not everything is as it seems’. I wonder if the 1st patient (suspecting Michael’s mom, is still alive??)

Gretchen and Self got themselves a new cellphone from a store. Lincoln got the receipt from the storekeeper, and used the General’s ‘assets’ to trace them. How convenient. They found them, in a warehouse, right when they were about to make the exchange with the buyer. While checking Scylla on a special computer, Self noticed it was not really a black book after all.

Just then, Self and Gretchen were distracted by Sucre, which gave the buyer the chance to shot Self, and ran away with Scylla.

Michael woke up after the surgery, he was alright, thank God! He then figured out that Scylla was all about the future, not the past. It contained the information of how to combine the 4 chemical elements into the design of a solar cell that could harness 100% of the sun’s energy! It was all about the advanced technology that symbolized Power in near future. The Company was counting on it.

General was furious at Lincoln for letting Scylla slipped through his finger tips, again. He ordered Lincoln to work with Self, Gretchen and T-Bag to retrieve back the stolen Scylla. With Sucre leaving the team and moved on with his life, Lincoln had no choice but to agree.

Lincoln went to see Michael, told him about the deal. Michael disapproved him helping the Company, but Lincoln stuck to his plan anyway, for the sake of family and Michael’s safety.
