The abridged season 3 ended just after the break out from Sona. In Prison Break Season 3 Episode 13, Scofield, Whistler, Mahone, and McGrady managed to escape, though Bellick, Lechero, and T-Bag were not quite so lucky. Despite not escaping, T-Bag did kill Lechero, thus putting himself in charge of Sona. Sucre, having refused to rat out his friend, is now a prisoner in Sona as well. Whistler and Mahone teamed up with Susan, while Michael’s looking for revenge for Sara’s death.
Tonight kicks off the fall season, with a two hour premiere of Prison Break season 4.
Scofield has tracked Whistler and Susan to Los Angeles. They hop out of a limo being driven by Mahone to make a $50 million purchase. It’s a card. The seller warns him to watch his step with it, after which Whistler promptly kills the seller and his parter. As Whistler’s taking too long to get out of there, Scofield comes in with a gun seeking revenge. Whistler says he’s not the enemy, and Susan tells him Sara’s not really dead, in spite of the whole head in the box thing. After Whistler pulls a gun on him, Michael agrees to drop his weapon, and they run out, leaving the card behind for the general.
The card is a duplicate, the general’s not happy, and Susan ends up with a gun pointing at her.
Lincoln’s still in Panama with LJ and Sofia. He says that Sona has burned to the ground, with no sign of the men they know.
Bellick and Sucre are dropped off somewhere in the Arizona desert waiting for Bellick’s mom to come get them.
Mahone shows up to tell Scofield that Whistler’s working together with him against the company. He says that Gretchen’s dead. Whistler’s got the card, which is like the company’s black book and has all their information. The bird book had the info they needed, but they can still access it with Scofield’s help. Michael’s not listening to them. He just wants Sara back.
After shooting Whistler, the company gets the original card back, and now they want to clean up everybody who was close to Whistler.
T-Bag’s in Panama ready to head back to the US to get revenge on Scofield.
Mahone’s wife is ready to take him back. She gets a visit from the company, and they want to know where he is.
While they’re shopping, Lincoln sees somebody suspicious, and he knows he’s not out of the woods yet. After a struggle where the man gets shot, Lincoln surrenders to the cops.
As Scofield’s making a call to Bruce Bennett, a family friend of the Tancredis, the cops spot him, so now Scofield’s been recaptured, too.
Agent Self of homeland security is involved and asking Scofield questions. They want to make a deal. If he gets them Scylla (the little black book), he can go free. They’ve made a deal to free Lincoln and let him know their father spent the last two years of his life going after this black book.
Mahone arrives at home to find a crime scene, and he’s not allowed to enter, as the cops capture him.
Sucre sees his child but is forced to run when the cops spot him. Like the others, he is captured by the cops.
T-Bag’s got the bird book, and he’s going to use it to find Scofield.
Michael doesn’t trust the deal they’ve been offered. Bruce Bennett shows up to bail them out. He takes them to see the not so dead Sara.
After finding out Sara was tortured by the company, shots are fired at them. They realize there’s no choice but to take down the company because even if they don’t, the company will continue to try to kill them anyway.
The gang’s all reunited. Michael, Lincoln, Sucre, Bellick, and Mahone will be working together toward the goal of taking out the company. They know they need to get the book and know that T-Bag has it. What they don’t know is that he was just left for dead in the middle of nowhere by the guys he hired to take him to the US.
The first step to making Michael blend in a bit more is to get rid of that big ass tattoo.
