Prison Break

As you know, Sarah is married to Josh Winterhalt who is a martial arts teacher. She and Josh welcomed a baby girl in July of 2007. The baby’s name is Keala Winterhalt.

Also, it seems Sarah is NOT returning to her role on PB. The are using body doubles in the first few episodes. I just dont think PB will be the same. I loved the Sara/Michael story.

Well I hate to say this but I just was not impressed with the Prison Break episode last night. After all the hype on Fox, it just wasn’t what I expected the first show of the new season to be. Anyone else share these thoughts?

Anyways, let me recap the episode for those who missed it.

A woman known as Susan B. Anthony does her make-up before a vanity, and uses the make-up to cover deep scratches on her face.

Michael stands among a screaming crowd in the yard of Sona. Two men size each other up in a circle of prisoners.

Lincoln begs a clerk at the American Embassy to get Michael out of Sona. The clerk tells Lincoln that “the worst of the worst� are inside Sona. The prisoners rioted so badly, that the guards pulled out and left the prisoners to fend for themselves. The man looks Lincoln in they eyes, “Whatever goes in…never comes out. Unless it’s dead.�

Michael watches in horror as the two men fight until one man finally snaps the other man’s neck.

The next morning, Lincoln stands in the office of the American Consul. The Consul is on the phone trying to get Michael out of Sona. The Consul tells Lincoln that Michael’s case looks like Michael will walk away an innocent man and he’ll be transferred to another facility in forty-eight hours.

Michael sees Bellick, stripped of his clothes and beaten, walking across the yard. Bellick asks some inmates for water and they point him to a mud puddle. They shove Bellick down, and kick the muddy water in his face. When the inmates leave, a scrawny prisoner named Sapo, also only nearly naked, helps Bellick to his feet.

Mahone sits alone, his hands shaking. He reaches into his jacket to remove his pen. After unscrewing the top, he finds he’s out of pills. Michael walks in and Mahone springs up to meet him. Mahone demands that Michael helps him when his court date comes. Michael refuses to help and wants to know why The Company wanted him in a Panamanian prison. Mahone doesn’t know anything, he was just following orders. Mahone pleads with Michael to work together. Michael tells Mahone he won’t help him, because every time he looks at Mahone, he sees the man that killed his father.

A woman stands outside the Sona, screaming and demanding that the prisoners send out the dead. Lincoln enters a guard shack. The guards call for Michael to come to visitation, which is a chain link cage extending out from Sona. The brothers meet again and try to make light of the situation. Lincoln tells Michael to hold on another day, and that he does not know where Sarah is. Lincoln walks away, promising to see Michael tomorrow.

Back in Sona, a young inmate named McGrady runs up to Michael asking about basketball. McGrady runs off when a group of thugs approaches Michael and tell him it is time for orientation. The leader, Sammy, flashes a knife and Michael follows.

Michael, Mahone and several other inmates are led into Lechero’s den. Lechero is the man who controls Sona. Lechero recognizes Michael and Mahone from the news. Michael says he won’t make waves. Lechero tells them that if there is conflict, the men must settle it in the yard in a fight to the death. Another inmate at the end of the line loses control of his bladder. Lechero strikes the man and beats him. Michael barks out, “I think he gets the message!� Lechero tries to intimidate Michael, but it doesn’t work. Lechero angrily dismisses the inmates.

Lincoln talks to a Constable inside a police station. He hands the Constable a photo of Sarah, asking the man to call Lincoln if anyone matching her description shows up.

Bellick sees Sapo wearing shoes. They belong to the dead man who lost the fight the night before. Sammy shouts at Bellick and Sapo that they need to start earning their rent. He hands them some plastic parkas and leads them to the prison toilet. Sapo and Bellick protest the job, but Sammy doesn’t care. He tells them to clean it and burn it in the sewers when they’re done.

Lechero looks down at Michael from the second tier. He makes eye contact with another inmate and nods towards Michael. The inmate nods back. Another one of Lechero’s men tells Lechero another American arrived and, “He’s got this hand…�

Michael looks across the yard as T-Bag enters and makes eye contact. From above, Mahone looks down and sees T-Bag. Over the loud speakers, the guards call for Michael to go to visitation.

Michael meets a man who introduces himself as Elliott Pike. Pike tells Michael, “I got a lot of big guns behind me, Mr. Scofield. People you might want to have in your corner should you ever decide, say, to break out of here.� Michael knows who Pike is working for and walks away uninterested in the offer.

Michael stands in his cell and looks around. Another inmate storms in, demanding his “stash.� He grabs Michael around the neck, but is pulled off by Lechero. Lechero orders Michael and his bed be checked for the other man’s drugs. They find a bag under Michael’s bed, clearly a set up. The inmate tells Michael they’re not through.

The Constable phones Lincoln. They found a woman matching Sarah’s description. She’s at the morgue.

Bellick and Sapo stop and beg a cook for some pieces of chicken. The man smugly hands Sapo and clean bone. Sapo begins to panic about starving to death. Bellick asks him to hang in there and walks away. Sapo pulls some wire from a cell window, and climbs up.

T-Bag finds Michael and asks him why the government would want him in Sona. Before Michael answers, the inmates cry out, “RUNNER!� They flood to the windows to see Sapo shuffling across the no-man’s land. The guards in the towers tell him to stop, but he keeps moving. Bellick screams out as machine gun fire cuts Sapo down.

Michael tries to deal with what he’s just seen and heads to his cell. On his bed is Lechero’s chicken foot. He has been challenged to a fight.

Lincoln walks with the Constable and looks at the body. The Constable pulls back the sheet, and Lincoln pauses. “It’s not her.�

Sammy leads Michael to Lechero, who enjoys seeing Michael holding the chicken foot. Michael tries to argue his case, but Lechero reminds Michael that the fight is Sona’s way of keeping justice. Michael tries to get Lechero to admit that he set up the fight. Lechero doesn’t blink.

Deep below the prison, in the sewers, someone is listening to Lechero’s conversation.

Bellick wades through the sewer with a bucket of bathroom sludge. The person who was listening to Lechero whistles to Bellick. He asks Bellick to do him a favor and promises to feed Bellick. The man hands meat through a small crack. Bellick pops the piece in his mouth and chews, and then asks where the man found chicken. After a pause, the raspy voice replies, “That’s not chicken.� Bellick doesn’t care and takes more. In exchange, the man hands Bellick two pieces of paper.

Lincoln answers his phone, it’s LJ. LJ says he’s in Panama and got Lincoln’s cell phone number from the Consulate. LJ tells Lincoln to meet him and Sarah in a restaurant.

The inmates gather and cheer in the yard. It’s time for the fight. T-Bag watches Lechero closely. Another inmate bumps into Lechero and spills soda on his shoes. T-Bag seizes his moment. He approaches Lechero and offers to clean the soda off Lechero’s shoes. Lechero appreciates T-Bag’s subservient manner.

Mahone stands outside Michael’s cell and tells Michael to attack the man’s knee cap. Mahone tells Michael to survive because he is Mahone’s, “get out jail free card.�

Bellick pushes through the crowd and bumps into Michael, slipping one of the pieces of paper into Michael’s back pocket. Bellick crosses the yard and does the same to Michael’s foe.

Lechero barks that the only rule is “no weapons,� then calls for the men to fight.

Michael shouts that he won’t fight. When the inmate looks up to Lechero, Michael attacks the man’s knee. The man buckles under the kick, allowing Michael the advantage. The inmates cheer for Michael to finish the fight. When he tires to leave the circle, they shove him back in. The inmate stands and lands a few punches, but Michael quickly knocks him back down. Someone tosses a blade into the ring. Mahone sees this and steps forward. The fallen inmate grabs the blade and stands, and then lunges at Michael. Mahone blocks the man’s arm, and then snaps the man’s neck. Mahone quickly shouts out, “Rules are rules, remember!?� The crowd breaks up, Lechero walks away frustrated.

Lincoln enters the restaurant looking for LJ and Sarah. Susan B. Anthony sits behind him, flirts with him a little. As Lincoln walks away, she calls him by his name. “We have a lot to discuss.� Lincoln slowly sits. There is anger on his face. She tells him that he needs to talk to Michael.

A military vehicle collects the dead from inside Sona, and Sapo’s body in no-man’s land. A guard shoots the bodies to make sure they’re dead.

The screaming woman from Lincoln’s first visit looks over the bodies. When the coast is clear, she checks their pockets. She finds the second note that Bellick left. It reads:

Versailles
1989
V. Madrid

Michael waits in visitation and finds the other note. Lincoln walks to the fence and tells Michael “There are some people who want you to break someone out of here.� Michael shakes his head, he can’t do that again. Lincoln continues, “His name’s James Whistler.� Lincoln shows Michael video on a handheld device. It’s video of Sarah and LJ, holding current newspapers and begging for help. Lincoln tells Michael he has a week to find Whistler and break out of Sona. Otherwise, Sarah and LJ are dead.

Dont forget to see your clocks (or TiVo) for 8:00pm EST on Fox cuz tonight is the night we have been waiting for all summer. It is the new season of Prison Break. I am so excited to tell you all about it tomorrow.

With Mike’s love Dr. Sara Tancredi (Sarah Wayne Callies) missing and the rest of the still breathing Fox River State Penitentiary alumni scattered in various precarious situations, critics and audiences were left scratching their heads wondering, “What the hell is going on with this show?� There’s a lot of explaining to do. Comcast.net went straight to the source, talking with actor Dominic Purcell about his thoughts on Prison Break’s sophomore season (available now on DVD) and getting him to spill some hints about season three:

Dominic, they had you working a whole lot more during season two of Prison Break, so what were some of the highlights for you?

Dominic Purcell: I think the major highlight was the fact that I was out! I wasn’t filming inside a cell. The first season, all my stuff was either behind the cage or within a prison cell, and it got stifling for me as an actor. In season two, I was out and about and running around interacting, so season two was refreshing for me.

Season two also allowed more exploration of the relationship between Michael and Lincoln. How did that help develop your character more?

DP: It was interesting because obviously the interaction and dynamics between Michael and Linc were suppressed in season one. In season two, we had to find a different dynamic. We had to imagine and touch back into our histories as a family. We tried to bring in elements of that but unfortunately the show, certainly last year, was all about being on the run. It didn’t leave much time for the brothers. I think that’s something myself and Wentworth feel very strongly about, is that we really want to see more personal stuff between the brothers. In season three, we will get to see a lot more of that.

Last year, there wasn’t much “break� in Prison Break, as the show was reinvented as more of a “fugitives on the run� concept. Was that hard for you to get used to?

DP: Yes. I think the biggest challenge for us as actors on the show is to find justification, for instance, in Linc not killing T-Bag. It’s like. “What’s the point? Why am I even talking to this guy?� T-Bag is one of the favorite characters on the show and he’s highly watchable and I get it. But in a real situation, Lincoln would have broken his neck long ago, so that’s the biggest challenge for me and all of us.

Were there any storylines you loved and any that you were happy to see go away?

DP: Absolutely! I thought there was some powerful stuff. When Veronica was murdered, I thought that was a powerful moment. We started the first season off on a bang. Season we started really good and I thought we dropped the ball towards the end. I was very vocal about it with the writers, but again, we were in the situation where Michael and Lincoln have to service the plot. It became difficult because we watched the other actors getting all the fun, gravy stuff. Wentworth and I were left going, “Where to?� We talked to the writers and they were very aware of it too. And I think season three is going to be amazing because it’s really quite special. You were quite cheeky with your commentary on the season one DVD, so did you add more colorful commentaries to the second season DVD?

DP: Unfortunately, I didn’t comment on this one because I was away on business. I enjoyed the first one and I wish I had the opportunity for the second one too.

The second season ended with the brothers in Panama, which is the last place audiences expected the finale to end. Where are Mike and Linc at the beginning of season three?

DP: Yeah, we saw Linc looking for Sarah. We cut to season three with Linc in the American Consulate trying to find Sarah and to get Michael out of this Panamanian jail. The interesting thing is that I think in season one the star of the show was the prison. For season three, it’s the same deal, but this prison makes Joliet look a 5-star resort! In South America, the jails are not like United States jail. It’s basically a fortress and the inmates are let in there and basically told, “Do what you want – just don’t break out.� It’s a free society within prison walls, so the dynamics this year are very gritty and dark, but also highly entertaining. You have Scofield losing his stuff; Mahone is slowly losing his mind because he doesn’t have any pills; Bellick is wearing a diaper; T-Bag is stooping as low as he can to survive. It’s going to be a fascinating, interesting season.

Where do you want to see the brothers eventually end up?

DP: I just want to see the day where Michael and Linc can just chill out, have a beer and talk normally. I think that’s the next big challenge. Can we make a show about family without all the 24-isms?

How did you spend your summer vacation away from Prison Break?

DP: I did a movie with Joel Schumacher on my hiatus. The working title is Town Creek and it’s basically about a Nazis cult experiment gone wrong. I play an ex-soldier who is tortured by this family with ties to Nasiz occult. It’s a revenge movie – very dark. But with someone like Joel Schumacher directing it’s going to be a great movie.

Jodi Lyn O’Keefe, Robert Wisdom join Fox’s jailbird series next season.

Prison Break’s Michael Scofield and Lincoln Burrows are coming back for another year on the lam and under the microscope of a secret organization, but they won’t be alone.

Two new cast members of the Fox drama were announced today and will join the show as regulars for its third season. Robert Wisdom and Jodi Lyn O’Keefe join Wentworth Miller (Michael) and Dominic Purcell (Lincoln), says The Hollywood Reporter, but will both play very different roles.

Wisdom will star as the jailed Panamanian drug lord Luchero, who happens to run the inmates in the Central American joint where much of the upcoming season takes place. The actor’s previous credits include Howard “Bunny” Colvin on The Wire, Barbershop 2: Back in Business, and Ray.

O’Keefe will play Betty Crocker, an agent for the secret government organization, the Company. The fetching 28-year old brunette has a host of television credits, including appearances on Criminal Minds, Two and a Half Men, and Nash Bridges, in which she played the titular detective’s daughter.

Yes I know it is July but that just means that the PB opening episode is just 2 months away. The new season is slated to start on Monday September 17th from 8-9pm EST on Fox. I think it will be one of the best seasons yet.

Doesnt it seem like it is taking forever for PB to start again? It is going to be a LONG summer. In comments made to Variety magazine, Executive producer Paul Scheuring said that Prison Break season three would have an ‘international’ plot line. This is an interesting choice of words since early rumors pointed to the action taking place primarily in Panama. Of course, this could be Scheuring’s way of merely avoiding validating the Panama rumors, but it could also mean that the action could move even further South of the border.

In addition to announcing the general locale, Scheuring also announced that the four new characters would not be Americans. So far two men and two woman regulars are scheduled to be added to the cast. There is no word as to what this means for characters who are stuck stateside. With Sucre, Bellick, and T-Bag’s misadventures due to play out this season, it seems unlikely any of them will continue on in season three.

Sara fans have reason to be concerned as well. Spoilers indicate that she will be doing some hard time and won’t be joining Linc and Michael in Panama. This could be bad news for Sarah Wayne Callies, who has gotten at least a couple of good years of employment from the show.

If you believe the rumors circulating, Prison Break season three may begin very well where the series started, with a daring Prison Break. According to supposed inside information, at least one of the brothers will wind up behind bars in Panama.

UPDATE: Just as TMZ told you earlier, Garrison’s plea went down as planned. During the emotional court session, the actor faced the judge and muttered the words, “I am guilty.”

Sentencing was originally set for August 1, but later moved after the family of the victim, Vahagn Setian, asked that it not be held on their departed son’s birthday. It has since been changed to August 2.

Check back soon for video inside the courtroom.

TMZ has learned what Lane Garrison will do when he enters a courtroom in Beverly Hills this morning. He will plead guilty, guilty, guilty.

Garrison will plead guilty to one count of vehicular manslaughter, a felony. The “Prison Break” star will also plead guilty to one count of felony DUI with bodily injury. He’ll also admit his blood alcohol level was over .15, which could increase the sentence by eight months. Garrison will plead guilty to one misdemeanor count of providing alcohol to a minor.

Based on the pleas, Garrison faces five years and eight months in prison.

Garrison’s high-powered lawyer, Harland Braun, tells TMZ absolutely no sentencing deal has been struck. Braun says, “Lane fully expects to go to prison or jail,” adding, “It’s very unusual for anyone in our society to accept responsibility for anything.”

Braun will ask Judge Eldon Fox to set the sentencing hearing 60 days from today.

Prison Break Season 2 DVD box set is set to be released August 21st 2007. The 22 episodes are 966 minutes long. Only Amaury Nolasco and William Fichtner from the cast commenting.

Did you all watch last night’s episode of Prison Break? I was never so pissed off in my life. All the previews and all the hooplah about how the season will end with a bang…..blah blah blah. And it ended how? They said everything would come to a conclusion. There is more stuff in limbo now than ever before. Last night’s episode had so many things going on and everything was happening so fast!

Michael races against the clock to rescue Lincoln and beat Mahone at his own end game; Sucre risks his life to save a missing Maricruz; Kellerman’s testimony at Sarah’s trial proves deadly; and T-Bag and Bellick find themselves up a Panamanian river.

Sarah’s husband, Josh Winterhalt, is a martial artist.

Sarah’s parents are both professors at the University of Hawaii. Her father teaches law, while her mother teaches English.

Sarah was born in La Grange, Illinois, but moved to Honolulu, Hawaii in 1978 with her family, after the death of a family member.

Although Reggie Lee speaks English, he continues to speak his native language - Tagalog.

Reggie Lee is the oldest of his three brothers.

In his free time, Reggie Lee likes to take part in various sports ranging from competitive tennis to avid hiking.

Wentworth’s father’s first name is also Wentworth.

Wentworth’s trademark item at Starbucks is said to be a “Venti Peppermint Mocha Chip Frappacino! ”

Wentworth is allergic to cats and dogs.

I saw a post on another website about a book titled Marching Powder. It takes an in-depth look at Latin prisons. The reason I am mentioning this is because it is obvious that Michael will end up in another prison. It looks like it will be in Panama.
The book is interesting in that these prisons are so much different than US prisons. These prisons have stores and restaurants that are run by the prisoners and prisoners have to buy thier own apartments in a prison neighborhood. It is amazing reading.
So if this is the road that Prison Break will take with Michael, it could prove rather interesting.
Stay tuned!
