After meeting with the man who designed the security system for Scylla in Prison Break Season 4 Episode 10, they managed to figure out what they’re up against. They need to break through reinforced walls without breathing and in complete silence. Michael’s found out he needs surgery right away, which may well get in the way of their plans.
Sara calls the doctor, who can see Michael today. He’s given them his word that he won’t call the authorities. Michael agrees to her plan.
Lincoln thinks they can trust Gretchen. At least as far as the card is concerned anyway.
The company plans to protect Scylla with an armored truck, fighter planes, and whatever else they can get their hands on.
Michael gives them a breakdown of what they have to do. They have to break through two walls, one concrete, one glass, all without making a sound due to the microphones. As for the floor, it will detect an added load of just two pounds. To further complicate matters, they also can’t generate any kind of body heat due to the heat sensors.
Gretchen dresses like a school girl and sends the general a photo to lure him there. He comes to her, but he realizes she’s just looking for his card. After he pulls a gun on her, she tells him she’s the mother of his child and loves him. He leaves with a warning: he’ll shoot her on sight if he ever sees her again.
The heat sensors sound an alarm if anything with a temperature of over 90 degrees is present for more than 5 seconds. Mahone suggests getting their hands on some liquid nitrogen to regulate temperature.
T-Bag offers Trishanne $100 to take off just her jacket. She refuses. He ups it to $1,000. Still not interested. He’s convinced she’s a fed and an armed one at that. Considering he just passed up his boss’ offer of a cruise where he could probably make $50k, T-Bag’s not happy with the way things are going as far as Scylla.
Without the sixth card, trying to crack Scylla is pointless.
Fang pays Gretchen and T-Bag a visit. They ask for help.
As he prepares to go to the hospital, Michael’s concern is that he can’t live with himself if everybody else dies but he survives because he called in sick. When Lincoln shows up, he tells him he’s not going to the hospital. Sara gives him something that will get him through the next three hours, but she’ll be taking him to the hospital afterward, warning him that he can’t have any added mental or physical stress in the meantime.
T-Bag calls Gretchen from work. Trishanne is of course tapped into their chat. Gretchen’s received a call from another buyer, who may be willing to go to $200 million.
The first step is to break through the concrete wall with reinforced steel fibers, and once they get through that, they can see their goal. They build a platform to climb across and spray the liquid nitrogen to prevent the heat sensors from going off. As he’s crossing, Sucre has a close call, nearly falling to the ground, but Lincoln comes to rescue him as he’s dangling just above the ground.
Self and Trishanne show up at the address where the other buyer is supposed to be. He tells her to shoot them for pretty much any reason at all. Gretchen and T-Bag are nowhere to be found. Instead, Fang’s waiting for them.
Michael’s way has been paved to cross toward Scylla. As he’s doing this, he has flashes and fights to prevent himself from collapsing. This must be that physical and mental stress Sara was referring to. Michael cuts a hole in the glass wall, holding the piece that comes off with magnets. Once through the glass wall, he can touch the floor, which allows him to walk up to Scylla. When he touches it, the general is alerted and calls immediately for his team.
