Picking up where we left off in Prison Break Season 4 Episode 1, the gang of ex-convicts has come together for the purpose of taking down the company.
Mahone got a good look at the cardholder’s driver and believes that he can narrow it down based on tax records. Finding the driver will lead them to the cardholder.
Sara’s having flashbacks of the abuse she suffered at the hands of the company, and she’s going a little bit psycho crazy.
The boys find the driver, but then they find out that the security there could take weeks to get past. They’ve been given an additional assistant, another con who is a computer genius. He invented a device that can steal the information of any electronic device within 10 feet. If they use that, they can copy the card.
The company has a number. 10,000 people. Whatever it is, it can’t be a good thing.
They find the driver and cause an accident. They’ll need to be in range for at least two minutes because the data’s encrypted. Not wanting to be disturbed, the guy in the car agrees to pay off Sucre for the damage to his car to get rid of him. It turns out the guy in the car doesn’t have the card anyway, so they get nothing.
Sara remembers that Scylla comes from The Odyssey, and in that chapter, Odysseus is forced to choose to sacrifice six of his men so that he can continue on his path.
Sara approaches the maid who works for the cardholder and tells her how much she admires her bag. Then Michael calls the maid when she’s at work pretending to be from the alarm company and has her check all the windows. They convince her to go into the library, where she’s not allowed to go. With that, they manage to get a copy of the card. Bellick steals her bag, and Mahone pretends to run him down to get it back for her, but the copying device is nowhere to be found. The maid apparently left it behind because she found it and realized it wasn’t hers. They’re going in to get it because they have no choice.
T-Bag runs across some guys offroading through the desert, and they agree to give him a ride.
After checking out the security company, they realize that armed response will be initiated within 1 second, and vehicle response will follow within half a minute. They figure they need 15 seconds to get what they’re after. First they break in across the street. Then they wait for the guy to come downstairs and deactivate the alarm at the house they actually want to break into, and they break in there. It goes off without a hitch, despite Mahone stopping dead in his tracks when he hears a young boy.
Bruce Bennett refuses to talk, so he’s drugged.
T-Bag’s in town, and he’s starting to solve the mysteries in the bird book.
After reviewing the card, they find out it’s not all of it. Going back to the quote from The Odyssey, Scylla isn’t one card. It’s 6.
Susan’s not dead after all. She’s just being tortured like she did to Sara.
