Self got his hands on Scylla by tricking everybody, but in Prison Break Season 4 Episode 13, he found out that he was tricked, too, as he was unable to sell Scylla without the missing piece that Scofield’s got stashed away.
Michael’s still refusing to go to the hospital no matter how hard Sara tries to convince him.
Scofield calls Self, who promptly fires a smoke canister in through the window. They try to escape, but shots fire. Self says to come out with Scylla, or he’ll gas them out. Scofield’s not budging, so in come the 30 canisters Self warned him about. They’re wondering where Lincoln is. Probably right behind Self looking to punch someone.
Now that he’s got a gun to his head, the traitor has an offer. He’s got a buyer and is willing to split the money. He says the buyer is an ex-company guy with a bone to pick. Michael wants to meet, and he agrees to setup a meeting.
Mahone’s elsewhere, meeting with Agent Lang. He asks if she knows anyone in the Bureau who might be able to help.
Michael doesn’t want to sell Scylla because he fears that, if they do, the company will burn, but another company will just be built right on top of the old one.
Sucre has hitched a ride in the trunk with Self and Gretchen.
Michael tells Lincoln that, however this may play out, he has no regrets.
Gretchen and Self believe they’ve found where Scofield stashed the missing piece of Scylla. Gretchen talks to her daughter and tells her that the mean man will go away soon, but Self has other plans. He tells T-Bag to kill both of them if he doesn’t hear from him in two hours. After that, T-Bag gets a visit from a bible salesman, who he promptly hits and ties up.
Lang brings Mark, another agent, with her to meet with Mahone. They believe he’s got the Attorney General’s ear. Mark agrees to help, with the right proof.
Lisa comes to pay a visit to her father. She’s resigning because she knows who he really is now. That’s okay because he wanted a son anyway.
T-Bag continues to beat up the bible salesman. He insists they just blend in well.
Sucre and Sara go inside the hotel and get Gretchen’s room number with a little bribery. The bribery’s not enough to hold off the hotel guy from giving Self and Gretchen a heads up, though. Gretchen heads out to kick a bum in the stairwell, who happens to be Sucre covered up and waiting to get into a brawl. Then Scofield sends a smoke canister inside the room to smoke out Self. Gretchen wins the brawl with Sucre until Sara throws her down the stairs. Self’s outside now, and Michael manages to grab something from him. As he runs away from the enusing gun fight, Scofield’s nose begins bleeding profusely, and he collapses.
Self comes up to him and grabs his bag back. Gretchen stops by and picks him up. The guy shooting at her grabs Michael and puts him in the back of their van.
Thanks to his high tech surveillance equipment, Self was right about where the missing piece of Scylla is, and he goes to the warehouse to grab it.
When Michael wakes up, he’s tied down and listening to some medical talk.
Without Scylla, Mahone doesn’t think he can get anywhere.
Before long, Michael’s being operated on. A bunch of faces surround him, but we finally see a recognizeable one: the general.
Self calls T-Bag. He instructs him to kill the company operative. Or the bible salesman, who can easily get past St. Peter if he really is a bible salesman. With some convincing from Rita and some scripture from the bible salesman, T-Bag ignores this directive. He frees the guy and tells him to go be free. His compassion is his undoing, since once he’s untied, his captive turns the tables and knocks him out.
Burrows arrives and tells the general he wants to see his brother.
Gretchen and Self are meeting with the conduit again. This time Scylla is complete. With confirmation that the buyer’s on the way, Self shoots the conduit and the other guy there. He says he doesn’t want this guy to get a cut for just making introductions.
Lang tells Mahone that, even without Scylla, the Attorney General’s willing to hear him out, but he’s still not sure he can trust the guy she’s sending him to Washington with. Then Mahone realizes he’s been set up and there really is no meeting.
The general agrees to provide Michael’s operation at a cost: the safe return of Scylla.
