Prison Break

Previously Doc and Michael were entering the cigar club. They poke around, but Doc is recognized so they split.

Minneapolis. Private Perturbed Mahone lands and calls his positively adorable son, Cameron, who’s still in the hospital, but recuperating. They chat and Mahone’s phone rudely beep beeps ‘cuz Lang is on the line. She informs her boss that C-Note has been id’d from the diner. She also says that Dede’s been sick a lot so she’s checking into local hospitals in southeast Minnesota, my own backyard.

Michael and Doc get back to the other half of the PBCT. Michaels shares the information that Pope is also a member of the club so…

We head to Pope’s house. The man himself answers the door to find Doc, who asks for a moment of his time. Pope’s all, “Nuh huh, lady,” and is so not pleased when a brooding Michael pops in as well. I sure wouldn’t mind, God Miller looks hot.

Credits.

Pope’s pissed. Michael used him and blah blah. Doc brings up GJH’s murder and shows Pope the key.

Alabama. T-Bag and his hostages are still on the road. They pull up outside a shitty rundown house, T-Bag’s old home.

Mexico. Sucre’s still in his stolen car when it either breaks down or runs out of gas, no se. A guy pulls over and offers Sucre a ride. Sucre says his girl’s coming in on a flight and the guy is all, “What a coincidence! It just so happens I’m airport security and we’re expecting an American fugitive.” Sucre sits back and revels in the awkward.

Mpls. C-Note brings Dede to a hospital.

Pope’s house or shall I refer to it as The Vatican? Pope’s still pissed. Get over it already, dude. He won’t listen to the fugitives and says he’s gonna call the authorities. Michael’s all, “I don’t think so,” as he pulls a gun. “I don’t want to hurt you, Henry.” “Said by the man with the gun,” Pope shoots back. Michael babbles about Linc’s innocence. Pope’s not having it and points out that Michael’s not going to convince him of anything by holding a gun on him. So Michael sets the gun on the counter.

C-Note can’t get someone to look at Dede so they leave. And who should arrive just as they are exiting? Why it’s the lunatic with the federal badge (no, not Bellick and where has he gotten off to?). Mahone gives chase and corners C-Note and Dede as they board a bus. Mahone orders C to put his little girl down, but she won’t let go. As the bus doors close, Mahone warns C, “Don’t let her pay for your mistakes.”

The Vatican. Pope’s still not on board, so Michael offers him a deal, which we don’t get to hear.

Vomit, Southern style. T-Bag finds a ratty old dictionary and flashes back to his glorious childhood. His father/uncle made him memorize the dictionary (which explains why he’s so wordy) and show off his knowledge for his friends. Then he molested him as a reward. Ew! Ew! Ew! God, that scene was so creepy, vile, disturbing…actually I could use T-Bag’s skills with synonyms.

Owen and Linc chat on a rooftop overlooking the cigar club. Linc can’t get over the fact that Owen spent all of last season and the better part of the current season trying to kill him. Owen gives his standard response, “Just following orders.” So Linc brings up Pres Patricia. He recalls that NuSteadman said that Owen was in love with her. Owen dismisses this, “You don’t love someone that loves power more than life.” “Bitter, huh?” Linc asks. “Am I?” Linc’s response is all eyebrows and smirks and it’s hilarious. Anyhoo, Owen changes the subject, saying there’s no way they’re gonna survive this. Linc channels Michael when he says he has faith that they’ll make it. Owen’s Buddy Bringdown and says sooner or later They will get to them, but he plans on taking as many down as he can. “She must’ve really broken your heart, Paul.” Heh.

SAM’s sitting around being all smarmy and teeny and generally evil. He gets the news that Doc was spotted at the cigar club so he orders a jet to Chicago. Going out in the field again, SAM? We know you hate that.

Mexico. Sucre and the security guard arrive at the airport and part ways. Another security dude shows the first guy Sucre’s pic and he’s all, “Oh shit! I gave that guy a ride here!” They hustle us to commercials.

After said commercials, Sucre runs up to MariCruz and they smooch. It’s sweet. Sucre tells her, “I got three words for you.” “Yeah?” “We gotta run!” Heh. So they do.

Cigar club. Doc hands Pope the key and he heads into the club. Michael and Doc cutely banter in the car while Owen and Linc keep watch on the roof. Inside Pope retrieves the recording and asks to borrow a guy’s computer.

Alabama. T-Bag shares with SM that he “can’t procreate.” His words. He says that’s a good thing, ‘cuz it’ll mean the end of the Bagwells. He sees Zach and Gracie as his “salvation.” Barf. He asks SM if she could ever learn to love him and her answer is negative. And we all know how well T-Bag handles rejection.

C-Note brings Dede to a shabby clinic and offers the lazy ass doctor four hundred bucks to take a look at his daughter. He informs the doctor that she has a kidney disease. Well, that’s one question answered.

Linc and Michael converse via cell as Pope exits the club. Gah! SAM shows up! He tries to be menacing, but considering the fact that he’s all of two feet tall and has to crane his neck to look Pope in the face, he’s really not. SAM orders Pope to empty his pockets and Pope resists the urge to bitch-slap the little gnat, but SAM’s cohort shows off his gun (dirty!) to show he means business. Everyone sees that Pope’s in trouble, so Michael guns the car right into SAM. Awesome! Then Linc barrels up, boots SAM (Go Linc!) and punches the snot outta him. He turns and calmly walks back to the car as Owen shoots SAM’s cohort. Owen hustles to the car, but what’s this? It appears that my BFF has gone and locked the doors. Hee! The brothers and Doc speed away, leaving Owen standing on the sidewalk, reliving his high school memories of being excluded by the in-crowd. He spares a glance at a bloodied SAM then takes off.

Alabama. The cops show up and find SM and the kids locked in the cellar. They say they got a call about a hostage situation, but SM points out that no one knew where they were. Cut to a shot of T-Bag sobbing by the side of the road.

No good news for C-Note, I’m afraid. Dede’s in renal failure and needs dialysis. They can’t do that at the clinic, but what they can do is shove a big ass needle in her throat to prep her for treatment somewhere else. C balks. He grabs Dede and leaves.

The PBCT, currently minus one of its founding members, (kinda like when John left the Beatles, so the PBCT shall be referred to the Beatles from here on in) arrive at The Vatican. Pope and Michael get out of the car, the latter informing his brother about his deal with Pope. Michael offered to turn himself in if Pope helped them. Linc takes this about as well as you’d expect. He gets all shouty (and hot). Pope takes this in and tells Michael to go. He says he listened to the recording and it’s important. He figures there’ll be people out there who will want it destroyed. Michael thanks him and the Beatles depart.

As C-Note rocks Dede he totally loses it. Sniff. I am not crying. Shut up!

Lang calls Mahone, saying he’s got a call. It’s C-Note. He offers to turn himself in if Kacie is released. Mahone points out that C-Note’s not really in the position to make demands. So C offers him something else.

Dede’s lying in a hospital bed and Mahone gives her a teddy bear. He informs C-Note that Kacie’s been released and reminds C to hold up his end of the bargain. “I will,” C promises. “I’ll get you Scofield.” Dun!

The Beatles stop at what I presume is a motel and set up a laptop. The get ready to play the recording, but…wuh? That’s it. That’s the end of the episode. No racing Prison Break theme, just a shot of Miller and Purcell standing in what appears to be a big ass tunnel. What is up with ending the episodes minus the theme? And as hot as Miller is, that color doesn’t look the greatest on him.
