Prison Break

‫My name is Michael Scofield, ‫and I'm a fugitive.

‫Three weeks ago, ‫I was in a Panamanian prison.

‫While I was there,

‫I was approached ‫by the Company.

‫The Company is a corrupt ‫organization involved

‫in all levels ‫of industry and government.

‫They gave me two options:

‫break one of their men--

‫James Whistler-- ‫out of that prison...

‫...or else they would kill ‫the only woman I ever loved--

‫Dr. Sara Tancredi.

‫I held up my end of the deal, ‫and I broke Whistler out.

‫But the Company...

‫...they killed Sara anyway.

‫I don't know why the Company ‫wanted James Whistler

‫out of prison, but I've tracked ‫him here to Los Angeles.

‫He's with another Company agent ‫I know only as Gretchen...

‫...the same agent ‫who murdered Sara.

‫This ends today.

‫I came here seeking justice,

‫the justice I now know ‫the system cannot provide.

‫So if you're reading ‫this letter,

‫you'll know ‫I died avenging Sara's death.

‫GRETCHEN: ‫You get the data card.

‫We drop it off in the racing form, ‫and we get the hell

‫out of there.

‫Who's the contact ‫we're leaving it for?

‫The Company wants ‫the card back, period.

‫All you need to worry about

‫is getting this rig the hell ‫out of there in a hurry.

‫Oh, I'll be getting it ‫out of there.

‫Don't you worry ‫about that.

‫You worry about getting your ass ‫back in that seat in time.

‫If you pull this off, ‫you can come up to my room later

‫and the word "no" won't be ‫in my vocabulary.

‫Just make sure we get paid.

‫(indistinct chatter)

‫In and out.

‫MAN: ‫Good to see you again.

‫You, too.

‫Didn't hear from you ‫for a while.

‫Started to wonder if you were ‫still interested.

‫I am, very much so.

‫Well, I needed ‫to approach this carefully.

‫I'm sure you understand.

‫Who you buying it for?

‫A competitor?

‫A foreign country? ‫Jason,

‫you know I can't ‫get into that.

‫Now, we've been ‫negotiating this for months.

‫I've jumped through ‫all your hoops.

‫I've agreed to ‫meet you here.

‫Do you want to sell ‫the card to me or not?

‫Be right back.

‫(indistinct chatter)

‫That's a lot of secrets ‫on a little piece of plastic.

‫Let me give you a ‫little bit of advice--

‫and this is ‫on the house--

‫watch your step ‫with that thing.

‫The Company will do ‫anything to get it back.

‫Don't I know it.

‫(phone rings)

‫Yeah.

‫GRETCHEN (over phone): ‫What the hell are you doing?

‫We got to get out of here.

‫I need to hide the gun.

‫Take the gun with you!

‫Come on.

‫MICHAEL: ‫Where is she?

‫Michael, ‫you don't understand.

‫Call Gretchen, get ‫her in here now.

‫You have to trust me.

‫I'm not your enemy, ‫Michael.

‫GRETCHEN: ‫James.

‫We need to leave.

‫You know, ‫despite everything...

‫if Sara could weigh in ‫right now,

‫she'd tell me ‫not to kill you.

‫That's the kind ‫of person she was.

‫That's the kind of person ‫you took from me.

‫James, didn't ‫you tell him?

‫He walked in... ‫Shut up!

‫Gretchen, look at me.

‫This is for Sara.

‫I never killed Sara.

‫I wouldn't expect someone like ‫you to take this with dignity.

‫I swear to God she's alive.

‫Don't insult me ‫and don't insult her.

‫She escaped.

‫We knew if you found out we ‫wouldn't have any leverage.

‫I fabricated the whole thing. ‫My brother saw...

‫A head in a box!

‫From a cadaver.

‫You ask Lincoln ‫what he really saw.

‫Listen to her, Michael. ‫Don't lie to me.

‫I'm not lying to you. ‫Lincoln bought it,

‫you bought it, ‫it worked.

‫Michael.

‫Then where is she?

‫I'll tell you when ‫we get outside.

‫Right now, we ‫need to get out of here.

‫(sirens wailing)

‫They found ‫the bodies.

‫Give me the gun. ‫She's lying.

‫Is she?

‫If you pull that trigger, ‫you'll never know.

‫Kill him, James. ‫Shut up.

‫MICHAEL: ‫Where is she?

‫Where is Sara?!

‫Michael,

‫if you don't give me that gun,

‫I'm going to shoot you ‫in the head.

‫(sirens continue, ‫helicopter hovering)

‫Let's go.

‫We got a double homicide ‫at the Roosevelt Hotel.

‫(tires screeching)

‫(siren wailing)

‫Sara.

‫Do you know the difference

‫between a perfectly ‫executed operation

‫and a failed mission?

‫Sir?

‫It's small unit leadership.

‫The Allies spent ‫two and a half years

‫planning the invasion ‫of Normandy,

‫but on D-Day it came down ‫to a handful of men

‫on a strip of beach

‫to decide the fate ‫of the world.

‫What I'm getting at, ‫Gretchen,

‫is even the best plan ‫is only as good

‫as the moving parts ‫on the ground executing it.

‫General, we got your card-- ‫what's the problem?

‫We have nothing.

‫It's a duplicate.

‫Almost flawless,

‫but a duplicate.

‫That's impossible.

‫I saw... ‫You know

‫how important ‫the retrieval of this card

‫is to me, ‫Gretchen.

‫You know that this is ‫a security breach

‫that could have ‫catastrophic ramifications

‫for the Company.

‫The only thing ‫I can think of...

‫there was a blind spot

‫when Whistler was ‫hitting the target.

‫Maybe he made a duplicate ‫and he still has the original.

‫You hired him.

‫You kept him ‫at the tip of the spear.

‫You insisted ‫that we get him out of Sona.

‫We had to.

‫He had already made ‫contact with the target.

‫At that point, it was ‫him or no one, sir.

‫What's your stake ‫in all of this?

‫I had nothing to do with it.

‫Whistler acted on his own.

‫I swear to you.

‫General, ‫I can fix this.

‫You trained me.

‫Not well enough, apparently.

‫You know ‫what to do.

‫Please.

‫I have a bank account ‫in Dubai

‫left over from a slush fund ‫from COBRA II.

‫It's yours.

‫No, please, please...

‫(phone ringing)

‫Hello.

‫Hey, it's me.

‫Where are you, man?

‫Los Angeles.

‫You okay, Michael?

‫No, I'm, I'm safe.

‫Thank God, thank God.

‫How's LJ?

‫How's Sofia? ‫Yeah, they're, um...

‫I'm staring at them ‫right now.

‫They're, they're fine.

‫You hear about Sona?

‫What about it?

‫Burned down three days back.

‫The inmates-- they rioted.

‫No sign of Bellick,

‫T-Bag, or Sucre.

‫Sucre?

‫He got popped-- ‫I don't know how.

‫I mean, the papers listed ‫the names of the inmates,

‫and he was in there ‫when it went down.

‫I found Whistler and Gretchen...

‫and, uh...

‫(breathing heavily)

‫...Gretchen said...

‫...she said Sara is still alive.

‫What did you see, Linc?

‫What do you mean ‫what did I see, Michael?

‫I need you to tell me ‫exactly what you saw.

‫Michael, Sara's gone. ‫Well, you said

‫it was in a garage, right? ‫So it was dark.

‫Yeah, it was dark.

‫But if you're asking me ‫if I picked up the head
