Prison Break

Previously on Prison Break:

I'm through.

See you on the other side.

It can't be done.

We're not getting out of here.

There's only one person who can really stop this execution.

Would you talk to your father... for me?

I'm the last person in the world that my father listens to.

The governor has reviewed your case. He's not granting clemency.

Let's proceed.

I came in here a man, give me the strength to walk out of here a man.

Doctor... you can leave now.

It's him.

Mi... Michael...

What's he saying?

Michael... turn around...

It's him.

What do you think he's saying?

Michael... turn around.

- What's going on? - I don't know.

What's happening?

What the hell's going on in there?

I can't tell you how sorry I am that you've had to go through all this.

Lincoln...

- What happened in there? - Judge Kessler called.

- The execution's been delayed. - What do you mean, "delayed"?

Apparently, some new evidence has come to light.

- What evidence? - I don't understand.

How long do we have: one day, two days?

That's all the information I have at the moment. I'm sorry.

I'll give you a minute.

You okay?

I need to know how much time we have.

I'll go and see the judge and find out.

You're with Michael; you'll be okay.

- Did you see him? - Who?

The guy in the viewing room.

No.

It was Dad.

It was Dad.

It was him; I know it was.

- That's not possible, Linc. - It is possible. I saw him.

I don't know how you could have.

There were only a half a dozen people in that room--

me, Veronica, and a bunch of reporters.

- He wasn't there. - You don't know that.

I do. I would have recognized him.

You don't remember what he looks like. I do.

This is a man who took off, what, 30 years ago?

Why would he come back now, at the very last minute?

I don't know.

Why is he still alive?

It appears that some information was anonymously slipped to the judge.

Anonymously?

It was your fat little friend, Hale. If you had taken care of him sooner--

- It wasn't Hale. - How do you know that?

If Hale had given Veronica Donovan

anything that could have gotten a stay of execution,

I think she would have brought it up when she made her argument in court.

It didn't come from him.

Well, who else on your end knows?

Who else on your end knows? Why all the finger-pointing at us?

Are you sure that the leak didn't come from your end? From The Company?

Hey, we are all on the same team, remember?

Absolutely.

Just find the leak... and plug it.

Thank you, ma'am.

One more thing--

the next time you're in my office,

I expect you to stand when you're addressing me.

Absolutely.

All I can tell is... I was working late in chambers, I left at 11:00,

and there it was, right under my door.

One is Terrence Steadman's autopsy report.

In it, his appendix is noted as present and unremarkable.

The other paper is an operative report from when Mr. Steadman was 12 years old.

The procedure was an appendectomy.

- That's impossible. Let me see this. - I want the conviction overturned

and Lincoln Burrows immediately released from custody.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, not so fast.

These records haven't even been certified.

The hospital can tell you.

The hospital does not keep records going back that far. I checked.

So, as far as we know, these documents could be a hoax

from some anti-death penalty advocate,

or, dare I say it, defense counsel.

Oh, please. You're preposterous.

Let's just all take a deep breath here, okay?

I don't know what these papers mean,

and, for that reason, I'd like to err on the side of caution.

I'm going to delay the execution for two weeks.

That should give us more than enough time to exhume the body.

Exhume the body.

Your Honor, all due respect--

that is a drastic measure.

It's also the only way we're going to know

if that body in the ground is really Terrence Steadman.

So that's not Steadman that was buried?

We don't know.

If it isn't, Lincoln's free.

If it is, we're back where we started.

Take care of yourself, Michael.

So that body-- what if it's him?

Well, I'm not going to sit around hoping.

What does that mean?

That means we get back to work.

God, I was hoping you would say that.

They're digging up the body, huh?

To be honest, I've never been in a situation like this before.

If nothing else, you can be glad that

you've got people who'll go to extreme lengths to get you out of here.

No kidding.

Oh.

Warden... um...

at the execution,

there was a man in the viewing room.

I was just wondering if you or anyone in the prison had spoken to him.

Well... according to this, uh...

those present were your brother, his attorney, and three reporters--

two women and a man.

The man-- who was he?

Um... he was from the Headline Press. William Prall.

You know him?

No.

Hmm. Guard.

Hold it steady, please.

What exactly are you looking for in all that ink?

A new way out of here.

You know all those plans by now?

No.

Memorizing it would be like memorizing the phone book.

Yeah, but why not just tat up Route 66?

Contingencies.

Contingencies?!

You saying you found another way?

- Maybe. - What do you mean, "maybe"?

There's always been another way, but it's suicide.

Man, it's so cold, my hands are stinging.

You know what they say about weather in the Midwest--

if you don't like it, wait an hour.

We're still going out through the infirmary,

and we're still going to do it from the guards' room.

It's just the in-between that's going to have to change.

Wait a minute. Why are you changing plan, man?

We're already through that room beneath the infirmary.

That's all we gotta do is to get through that pipe and we're home free.

There's a reason they replaced it with a 12-inch pipe, Darwin.

People can't get through it.

The only way we're getting into that infirmary is from beneath.

We're going to have to find another way.

The Psych Ward?

It's the only building that shares a subsurface line with the infirmary.

You telling me

to get to the infirmary, we gotta go through the whack shack?

Unless you got a better idea.

And there's a subsurface line that runs from the guards' room to the Psych Ward.

Sort of.

Oh... what do, what do you mean "sort of"?

We can go into that hole in the guards' room.

About 40 yards up Route 66, there's a grate that'll get us halfway there.

What about the rest of the way?

We gotta do it above ground.

Oh, so just a bunch of cons

taking a stroll in the middle of the night for all the guards to see?

Yep.

You're right. It is suicide.

This grate that you're talking about, it's hidden, right, partner?

- The C.O.s can't see it. - Not exactly.

- Well, where is it? - You're standing on it.

Hell no!

When we come up on that ground there,

that tower there...

that tower there...

that tower behind me is going to see us.

We'll be like ducks on a shooting range. You feel me?

Hurry it up, cons.

You plan sucks, Snowflake.

I gotta go back into the walls tonight.

Why?

I gotta get over to Psych Ward,

familiarize myself with the pipes beneath,

make sure we can get through.

I don't know, Michael. C-Note's got a point.

We come up in the middle of that yard, we're sitting ducks.

I know.

Hmm... I might have an idea.

My family and I are more than dismayed by Judge Kessler's decision

to allow the exhumation of my brother.

This stunt by Lincoln Burrows' defense counsel is an affront

and an insult to the memory of my brother,

a good man who tried to make positive change in this country.

This is being done in the name

of trying to release a convicted killer from prison.

Steadman asked for a "green burial", no embalming,

biodegradable coffin, it's very environmentally aware.

Or smart if you don't want the body to be identified.

We haven't hung in months, and now you want a favor.

You know I love you, cous, but that's a big ask.

I gotta say no.

- You can't say no. - Whatever.
