Prison Break - Season 4 Episode 9

The scene kicks off with Lincoln beating Wyatt. Alright, I know some of you already jumping up and down for joy as Wyatt had been captured. Now they are saving Wyatt from Mahone, so he would call and lie to General Krantz that he had taken them all out (a.k.a killed them all). Obviously for a personality like Wyatt’s, beating him up is no way to get the job done. And they needed to figure something out fast, as “Mahone.. ain’t gonna wait.”.

General demanded for Scylla to be moved from L.A immediately. However, according to Lisa, the moving would only be completed in 3 days as the data on Scylla is too delicate. General insisted on the transfer, while anxiously looking for Wyatt, who is no where to be found. For precautions, General ordered to have the press release about Scofield and others be given out to the media.

Back at the warehouse, Agent Self came up with a plan to make Wyatt talk. Yes, that’s right, merely nice conversations will do. Sara went in to talk to Wyatt, leaving Scofield worrying outside, while preparing for their next digging plan in GATE. Based on the map, they needed to get through a serious impediment before reaching the Company’s HQ from GATE’s basement. The thing is, they only got to find out what is it once they are in. So they brought whatever tools they could lay their hands on, and went for it.

At the GATE, T-bag greeted them, and watched them going down the basement. Mr White, the GATE superior came asking T-bag about Andrew’s disappearance, leaving his fiancée and also a resignation letter behind. Later he called a detective to do the interrogation with the staffs, and T-bag was using his manipulative talks as always to keep himself out of trouble.

In the mean time, Scofield, Lincoln, Sucre and Bellick, going through the basement hallway, through the boiler room and some elevated walkways before they finally reached the dead end. Now they knew what lies between them and the COMPANY headquarters – one of the main conduit pipes for the L.A. water supply! And it’s huge! At first Scofield suggested they dig beside the pipe, since they could not go around or over it. Unfortunately, the digging didn’t bring them anywhere as there’s nothing beneath the cement but granite. Since they didn’t have the time and the appropriate tools, Scofield decided to go THROUGH the pipe.

Sara was still making conversations with Wyatt. Alex nearly ran out of patience before agent Self stopped him, telling him about his experience of losing both of his wife and the baby that never been delivered. And promised when the time is right, he would not stand in his way. Alex backed down.

Sara was listening, when Wyatt offered her some ways to get everything settled for her and Scofield. After Wyatt spitted out the word ‘… and this will all be over.’ Sara got up and told Wyatt ‘it IS over’. After that, Self was seen busy with his laptop, using some sort of software to modify Wyatt’s voice, and made a ‘They’re all dead, it’s over’ that sounded exactly like Wyatt’s voice.

So that is it for Wyatt, ‘cause he is all Alex’s now. By using the supplies from the ambulance: a needle, heart monitor & battery, he tortured Wyatt. Well, not gonna go through the details, but Wyatt eventually gave in, and agreed to call Alex’s wife and apologized, before Alex took the phone over and told his wife “It’s over”, and finished Wyatt off.

Agent Self faked the phone call to General, which made the General called off the press release for the gang.

Suddenly, Gretchen came in, gun-pointed at General. General told everyone to leave them alone in the room. Unbelievable, seemed like Gretchen and General had an item, and Emily was actually General’s daughter. General explained to Gretchen about his actions of putting her in the rough situation before, and how he wished her to stay and be there when he succeeded his plan. Lisa was not happy about it. As for the Scylla, it would be moved from L.A. by tomorrow.

The slick T-bag asked the secretary to get into the GATE’s data files and did some modification on the sales report, making Andrew the one to blamed on behalf of Cole (T-bag himself).instead. To prevent being interrogated by the IRS auditors, Mr. White decided to listen to T-bag’s suggestions and put a stop to the investigation of Andrew’s disappearance.

Back to the digging plan. Scofield asked Lincoln and Bellick to heat up the manual override near the main conduit to cut off the water supply temporarily to enable them digging through the pipe, and they only had 1 hour to complete the job or else they would never get to Scylla.

With Sucre alone in the basement, Scofield suddenly felt great deal of pain and fell to the ground. Sucre freaked out, but later admitted that he overheard some of Sara & Lincoln’s conversation about him not feeling well. Scofield requested Sucre to help him continue the job. They successfully cut the holes eventually.

Now, the difficult part was, they needed to slide the pipe through the hole made on the main conduit pipe. Lincoln and Bellick volunteered to go in the main pipe, with only 10 minutes to spare before the pipe would be flooded with 30,000 gallons of water again.

During the process, the stick that braced the pipe snapped suddenly. So little time and their plans were falling apart! The water would come in any seconds now. Suddenly Brad jumped in, tried all his might to lift the heavy pipe! While Lincoln shouting and pleaded him not to do this, But Bellick insisted Scofield and Sucre to push the pipe through, trapping him inside, with the rushing waters… It’s an ‘Armageddon’ heroic act and brought tears to viewers eyes.

Something to Remember Bellick by in this episodes:

While digging…

Bellick to Sucre: C’mon pal, I got almost a decade on you, and you don’t see me sucking air.

Sucre: I got shot, Brad.

Bellick: Oh yeah.

Walking themselves through the basement…
Bellick: Did you see the way Mahone was looking at Wyatt?

Linc: They guy is hurting.

Bellick: It was more than just hurting, that’s pain. I never cared about anything like that. I look at what I’ve done with my life, beating on cons at Fox River, chasing money, trying to keep my own ass out of prison.

When trying to find the manual override….
Bellick: So how are you holding up, you know, not being with LJ and all?

Linc: Good, he’s a smart kid. He can look after himself.

Bellick: I can see it, how much you love him. My dad died when I was a little kid. But he was a good father.

Then, in the basement, while trying to push the pipe through and the brace snapped…with the sound of flooding water from afar…
Bellick: But then we’ll never get Scylla

LInc: We don’t have a choice.

Bellick: You don’t, I do! (jumping into the main pipe)

Linc: What the hell are you doing? Brad, don’t do t his! Brad!..... The water is coming!! C’mon man, there’s still enough room for you to get through the hole!

Bellick: I let go of this you could drop it! It’s too heavy!

Scofield (at the other end): Brad, drop the sleeve….. and GET OUT OF THERE!!

Linc: Don’t do this. Don’t do this!!

Bellick: (catching his breath) You have a son!... Push it! Push it Scofield !!

Linc: Brad, NO!!!! Brad..!! (the hole closed, water runs through the pipe..dead silence)

Summary: Prison Break - S4 Episode 8

The scene started off with a flashback : in Chicago, year 2001. Lincoln and his friend were on a Hit-Steal-Run mission. Lincoln smashed into their target's car, snatched the suitcase from the target, and they flee from the scene with another car.

Back to present, Lincoln explained the idea to the gang. Although Roland described it as Kamikaze, and Sucre was worrying about the 'crashing', yet Lincoln stressed that it is the only way to get the General's data card, the final card!

Gretchen, Michael and Self had a meeting at the church. Gretchen wanted to hop on board to bring down the company, at the same time getting some traveling money. With Gretchen & T-bag owning the last few pages of Whistler's birdbook, Michael was forced to put down their differences temporary, until everything is over.

Back at the warehouse, everybody was furious at Roland for losing the card, and Michael gave him his 'early retirement' and sent him to his room...oh... I mean upstairs.

Sara & Michael had a conversation about the nosebleeds. Michael insisted that he's fine. And told Sara about Gretchen's 'well-being' and the idea of her joining the team to bring down the company. Sara was stunned, but agreed reluctantly. While she was alone, she had some flashbacks of Gretchen whipping her during her time of confinement in Panama.

Roland, who was all alone upstairs, using his talent to make sure his text message to Wyatt was untraceable. Been isolated by the team for his mistakes, he decided to flash his last card ---to sell off Michael and Lincoln to the General. Bad idea!

T-bag was released from the basement. The Chinese guy, Feng, who came for Scylla threatened to kill T-bag. Gretchen made a deal with Feng, a total of 125 million dollars for the Scylla. So, lucky T-bag, apart being spared, he was drooling over the big bucks!

Meanwhile, the team was busy preparing for the perfect mission, but Self was still doubtful for the plan to work. After the explanation, we know that basically, the plan is to smash the General's limo, pump him full of morphine (so he wouldn't have any ideas what happened to him after waking up next morning on the hospital bed, as Sara put it), download the card onto the laptop, put it back, then flee from the scene. In order to fake as paramedics to avoid suspicions, Self had to make himself useful by getting them one ambulance from the Federal Impound Lot, which coincidently had 4 ambulances seized for drug-smugling. Coincidence?

General and the card holders were in a meeting. The flooding of counterfeit notes (money) to the Laotian market was actually a trial, before they would launch the real operation on the US market! Wyatt interrupted the meeting and informed General about the untraceable message by Roland.

Self went to the Federal Impound Lot office, and bought time for Michael and Lincoln to steal the ambulance at the parking lot. The conversation about nosebleeds came up and the brothers had a little disagreement, but obviously Lincoln was worrying over Michael's health.

Right before Sara left for the mission, Roland told her he was sorry, although he claimed he apologized for Vegas, but obviously not. General ordered Wyatt to bait the hook for Roland. He took it for 1 million dollar, and informed Wyatt the brothers were at King Willow, where the plan took place. The General was informed that the gang was nearby, thus, the plan failed before it could be commenced. Wyatt came straight at Lincoln and Sucre who were in the car, and there goes the bullet rain. Luckily the duos managed to escape from the scene but Sucre got shot at his waist. At the warehouse, Sara gave Sucre the on-spot operation.

Michael suddenly realized the only possible traitor-to-be is Roland. He gave Roland back his laptop and asked him to work on some tasks. Roland escaped with it and met with Wyatt for the so-called 'legit business transaction'. Wyatt shot him at both of the kneecaps, demanding for the gang's hideout.

After getting what he needs, he gave Roland a fatal shot. Now the best scene of the night -- Alex appeared from behind and beat-up Wyatt like crazy! Yes, Michael actually planted a tracing chip in Roland's laptop, and Wyatt was captured!! Everyone left Roland to die by himself, as he sold them out and nearly cost Sucre his life, but Michael decided to stay with him until he gave out his last breath.

T-bag wanted to get his cut from Gretchen's 125 millions. Gretchen sneered and told him he needs to earn his pay, and she mentioned about getting rid of Michael and the gang, also, another surprising remark that “Scylla is not just the Company little black book” ! T-bag and the secretary were officially allies behind Gretchen's back, and they were secretly copying Gretchen's finger prints, in case she disappeared on the Big Pay day!

Gretchen asked Self to inform Sarah, she will meet her at the Safari motel, to clear off the debts, once and for all. Sara declined it, but in the end, went anyway. Sara's flashbacks depicted there was a lady trying to help her escape by passing her a key for her lockup. As a result, the lady got shot at the head by Gretchen. So now we know Sara's hatred for Gretchen was actually because of this poor lady. At the motel, Gretchen tried to even out with Sara by letting her do the whipping for 5 minutes. Sara refused, instead, she had a knife at Gretchen's neck, demanding the name of the lady who died for her sake, Michelle Taylor. Right before Sara left, she told Gretchen she will pay for what she did to Michelle.

General was nervous about Michael's attempt on getting the card. He ordered to have Scylla moved immediately! Now, I bet everyone is eager to know what on earth is this Scylla thingy??

So it's a long summary, because I think it's necessary to give out all the details since it's a brilliant episode. Apart being ecstatic that Wyatt was captured, I felt sorry for Roland's death. The guy obviously made a wrong choice out of desperation and cost him his life. Also, this episode also gave us fresh ideas about what exactly is Scylla? So, it is not just the company's little black book, it's more than that. Something that requires “days of security arrangements if it is to be moved”, as mentioned by Lisa Tabak to the General. Time to put on your thinking cap or wait for next episode!

A little sneak peak for episode 9:

Summary: Prison Break - S4 Episode 7

Gretchen tortured T-bag, for information about Scylla. But ended up working together with him to retrieve information from Michael instead, of course, not in a polite way.

As for our dream team, their 5th card holder, Scuderi chartered a plane and flew for Vegas. Since the secretary from GATE called Bellick about T-bag’s whereabouts, Michael decided to stay with Alex & Bellick, while Roland, Sucre, Sara & Lincoln went for Vegas.

Agent Self was worried about Wyatt coming after him, and asked experienced-Alex’s advice about how he should do about it. Alex told him to 'stop running', 'get aggressive and get back at them', like how Michael did when he was trying to track him down, back in the old days.

Michael and others went for the secretary when she demanded for more money. Unfortunately, it was a set-up! So everyone ended up been tied up, luckily Alex managed to escape while T-bag wasted some bullets at him ! Alex went to Self, informed him about Michael's captivity, and borrowed the tracking device to locate them.

Meanwhile, back in the apartment, T-bag threatened Michael to sort things out from the bird book, especially the map, while Gretchen hiding somewhere, monitoring. Michael finally came out with a blueprint for GATE Corporation The intention of decoding Scylla is very close at hand now! T-bag thought the reason Michael was aftering Scylla is for the money! And Michael played along so T-bag would bring him into GATE. With the detector, Alex came for Michael and others, and found nobody but the ankle-monitor & a paper crane left by Michael, written 'GATE'.

Gretchen kidnapped Andrew from GATE and killed him in front of Bellick & the secretary.

Wyatt came for Agent Self at his house, but Self went for the General instead, and confronted him -- If anything should happen to him, he would bring the attention to the public, with enough information that he collected. Seems like Self is safe for the time being.

Back in Vegas, Lincoln told Sara about Michael's nose-bleed, and how their mom died from tumor at age 31 years old. With Michael's condition very similar to his mom, Lincoln & Sara worried that Michael who just turned 31 this year, might encounter the same fate.

In order to get close to Scuderi, Sara put on a sexy outfit, hoping for a passage to Scuderi's room. Unexpectedly, he was far from interested ! Taken from the bartender’s word, Scuderi seemed to have a 'different likings' of his own! The team had no choice but to put Sucre on the table. Poor Sucre! Unwillingly, but still charmed himself all the way, until Scuderi finally asked him to come up to his suite to talk about 'private business' between men. Getting nervous eh? While the card was downloading fine in the room, things started to take a turn when Scuderi explained to Sucre how he was unable to perform husbandly duty for his wife, and wish Sucre to do it for him, plus another $1,000 worth of gambling chips ! Oh My Gawdd…! Anyway, the gang was all set to go home, yet Roland insisted on trying some luck at the Casino. His winnings caught attention from the manager, who not only gave him warnings, but snatched away the downloading device as well !! Bummer!

Back to T-bag & Michael, they went for Scylla in GATE, and found a basement, from the office. Michael tricked T-bag and locked him up, when Alex came for his rescue. Self arrived too, and while the guys were confident about getting Scylla soon, Gretchen called, and presented them some lost information in finding the Scylla, with the condition to release T-bag. AGAIN??!!

Overall, I would give an 8/10 for this episode! Enjoyable to watch, not loosing its suspense as well. Just the Vegas trip is a bit too short for them. I hope everyone was there.

A little sneak peak for episode 8:

Copyright © 2008 by Wong Ching Ya, All Rights Reserved, "Summary: Prison Break - S4 Episode 7".

Summary: Prison Break - S4 Episode 6

The scene started off at the racetrack, with Bellick distracted the guards with his little 'scene' at the counter, gave Lincoln enough time to place a controller at the gate, causing a huge set back to the horse that Mr Edison (4th card holder) was bet on. He was pissed and demanded explanation from the operations manager at the office, where the downloading device was placed, under the table. After it reached 100%, Alex went back to retrieve the device. Unfortunately, he got arrested later for barging in the restricted area. Now, the gang was in conflict whether or not to break him out of jail.

The General did some background-check on Self. Later, he sent Wyatt to give Self a little 'friendly' advice about staying out of his privacy.

At Riverside, California, Gretchen went for her sister. After freshened up, she got herself a weapon, perhaps pay back time for the Company instead? Here, we found out that Gretchen has a daughter, Emily, whom she gave custody to her sister.

After Wyatt spotted Alex at the police station, Alex thought he would be doomed, so he called Michael, asking him to finish off Wyatt for him and Pam. This caused Michael to reconsider about postponing their plan for Scuderi, the 5th card holder. Why? Because the gang was going to help Alex break out of court (not jail, thank God), after all. Alright !

While trying to find more clues from the bird book, T-bag faced more troubles after Andy found out more inconsistencies in his sales report, causing T-bag to flee from the GATE for good. His nightmare was far from over, as Gretchen caught up to him, so two evil-doers going to have some chat, in a hard way.

This episode was less focusing on the card than the previous ones, obviously. Instead, it showed more 'humanity' on the characters: Gretchen's 'human' side when at her sister's; and the team's risky attempt to rescue Alex, whom they once disgusted, from Wyatt at the court house (although they could choose not to). Perhaps there are messages in between? Anyway, that's for the viewers to ponder.

How about some sneak peak for Episode 7:
