Sum It Up ~ Drama sum @ reviews

At the warehouse, everyone was mourning for Bellick’s death. Agent Self took care of the body, however the gang was not satisfied until Bellick’s body been returned to his mother in Chicago. In order to calm the gang down, Agent Self agreed to do something about the body. Later, Alex, Lincoln & Sucre went packing for Bellick’s belongings, and found Bellick still kept the police badge he took at the Police Benefit earlier, seemed Belllick really wanted to get in Police Academy, after failing 5 times during his try outs.

Gretchen gave Michael the remaining pages of the birdbook, and notified them about the Company moving the Scylla on the next day. While working on the pages, Michael & Alex came up with the name of David Baker, the person who drew the blueprint. And he’s the only person who could guide them to Scylla.

Gretchen finally made it clear with T-Bag about her plan. If Michael did find Scylla at the end, she (with or without T-Bag, I guess) would get it & sell it to Feng; if not, Michael and others would bear all the consequences themselves.

The General insisting on getting David Baker, the engineer who helped them worked on Scylla’s security back then, as they were running short on their timeline to move it. Now is the matter of who’s getting to David first.

While preparing for David Baker, Michael suddenly collapsed and Sara brought him to the hospital. Alex went to find David Baker for Michael. Michael ran some tests, and X-Ray scan. Later, they had to flee after seeing cops loitering around the hospital. The neurologist, told them, he wouldn’t turn them in as all he concerned about was Michale's health conditions. Michael insisted on leaving, and Sara asked the doctor to call them once he had the results.

Alex went alone for David Baker, firstly disguising himself as somebody from the company, but during the conversations, Alex blew up his cover. While trying to persuade David Baker to help him on getting the Scylla, General’s people got there as well. Unable to get anything from David, Alex had to run before been spotted. Luckily, David’s wife, Mrs Baker gave Alex a legend for the blueprint in time. A big help!

At GATE, the secretary passed T-Bag a file containing Gretchen's personal information obtained from her fingerprint. During the conversation, the secretary suddenly mentioned Whistler name, that caught T-Bag's attention, and alerted. He went for Mr. White and asked for the secretary’s personal files to check on her background. Meanwhile, Mr. White had a big task for T-Bag a.k.a Cole Pfeiffer to host an intro for some new franchises from Idaho. Now our Mr. T here got lots of studying to do.

Down in the basement, Sucre was telling Lincoln about how Bellick saved his life during the fire in Sona (the prison), Panama (aren’t we all curious about how that happened). T-Bag set the fire up and asked everybody to run for it, as “they can’t shoot us all!’ After that, they went through the pipe, and came to a big wall. Sucre accidentally step on a mine! Alright, silly as it seems, but later you’ll understand why a bomb was planted there.

Lincoln went upstairs and get Gretchen after failing to reach Michael. So, the pro identified, it was the – jz33 anti personnel blast mines. Sucre got panicked. Gretchen's suggestion was for Sucre to move an inch so she could reach & dismantle the firing pin of the mine. Sucre was too worried, so refused.

T-Bag learnt about Bellick’s death, and later, used the story he had with Bellick in Fox River, as the opening intro for GATE, shed a few tears and nailed it! Why I’m not surprised? Anyway, I’m not gonna judge how true was his tears. Moving along...

Back to the warehouse, Alex and Michael were working on the Legends to the blueprint. The mine was not only for security purposes, but also served as an alarm for the Scylla. The only way to dismantle it is by manual override only.

Unable to reach Lincoln underground, Alex went down to the GATE himself, to the basement, and stopped Gretchen right in time before she works on the pin. Alex went for the override and cut off the power, just enough time for Sucre to step off the mine, and…… nobody died! A big relief to all who were down there, and us, viewers too.

At Agent Self’s office, a shocker for this episode: the secretary was an undercover agent for Self. She told Self about her mistake of mentioning Whistler’s name, and although Self warned her about the danger of continuing the job, She insisted on helping to bring down the Company. So we have a heroine on board all these times! However, now we would probably need to worry for her safety, since T-Bag later found out she was working for Self, after he called the reference number on her personal files. Uh-oh…

Finally, Bellick’s body was prepared to be sent back to his mother. While handing over Bellick’s belongings to Self, they all gave him a final look. Alex put the police badge on Bellick’s chest. Sucre called Bellick’s mom as requested by Bellick earlier. Just like Michael said, Bellick didn't die in vain, they would get to Scylla!

Michael continued to work on the blueprint. Although no surveillance cameras around the area, there were weight & microphonic sensors planted, which would alert the Company security to the presence of any human that weighs more than 2 pounds. Obviously, they need to have a proper plan to get to Scylla without touching the floor.

Sara received the call from the neurologist, Michael had a hypothalamus hamaratoma, and it has been growing in his body, which caused him all the symptoms he had experienced earlier. The only way for him to stay alive, was to take the surgery asap (the next day) or else he would die.

What would be Michael’s decision?? How they could get to Scylla?? Find out, in next episode.

~Sneak Peak for Episode 11~

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)
