Michael’s refusal to go to the hospital finally caught up with him in Prison Break Season 4 Episode 14. While attempting to flee with Scylla, he collapsed, winding up in the hands of the company. They offered to do the operation, in exchange for assistance in getting Scylla returned safely.
Sara shows up and is assured that everything will be okay. Not surprisingly, she’s not so sure she can trust the general.
Michael wants to know what hospital he’s in, but he’s not given an answer. Sara tells him to not worry about Scylla.
Lincoln doesn’t want to leave until he makes sure Michael’s alright, but the general doesn’t want to start the surgery until Lincoln can prove he can hold up his end of the deal.
The general does happen to be holding an accomplice. T-Bag tries to negotiate, but lucky for Lincoln he already hates T-Bag and doesn’t mind torturing him. After ripping out some teeth, he gets the answer he wanted about where Gretchen and Self are.
Mahone’s being transported and asks to use the bathroom. His request is denied because he’ll probably run, but since he used to work for the government, he knows it legally can’t be denied and lets this be known. With a warning that he can be shot if he attempts to flee, they reluctantly agree to let him out.
Michael’s being operated on in such a way that he’s having vivid memories. In one of them, he’s back in Fox River, where he’s greeted by Charles Westmoreland (DB Cooper). Westmoreland tells him he’s not dead, although he doesn’t know why he’s there.
Mahone’s given an escort into the bathroom and allowed 15 minutes to go. He doesn’t flee, but he does take a piece of the sink with him. As he’s walking out, he tells Lang she should have trusted him, like he trusted her.
Michael apologizes to Charles, who tells him it doesn’t have to be all for nothing because he does have the answers.
Gretchen gets a call from her sister. Self tells her not to answer. She responds that he should just shoot her then. Rita called to say they’re free and that some guys have taken T-Bag. Then she asks Gretchen to stay away from them for everyone’s sake.
Lincoln and Sucre arrive at the rendezvous point T-Bag gave them, but Gretchen and Self appear to have fled. The buyer arrives to see that the seller’s not there.
Mahone asks Lang when she decided to turn her back on him. She says the only thing she ever wanted was his safety, which she wasn’t going to get as long as he was on the run. Mahone proceeds to smash a window and hops out of the car.
Sara’s worried about the procedure she’s watching because she’s never seen it or the equipment being used. It’s an experimental procedure that’s only been used once before. The general tells her the other patient lived a long happy life.
Michael’s feeling guilty about how many people had to die in the process of saving his brother’s life, but he wouldn’t have done it different anyway.
Gretchen tells Don that if he actually knew what was on Scylla, he’d have second thoughts about who he’s selling it to.
In the dash through the woods, Lang manages to catch Mahone. He tells her he’s as good as dead if she takes him in, so if she wants to stop him, she’ll have to shoot. As threatened, she pulls the trigger, but she misses on purpose and lets him go, sending the other agent the opposite way.
Lincoln and Sucre stop by the store where Gretchen and Self stopped to buy a phone. After beating up the guy at the store, Lincoln gets the receipt from the purchase.
The doctor tells Sara that the tumor has spread and that the procedure may remove some of his memories. Just then, Michael’s vitals start to fall. Westmoreland tells him it’s time to go, but not to die. With that, he bounces back.
Self doesn’t want to give up Scylla until he sees the money, but Gretchen lets him know to stop screwing around and just give the guy Scylla. As the seller’s verifying the data, Lincoln and Sucre show up. The seller starts shooting, hitting Self, and then takes off.
Michael’s awake and seems to be okay, but his dream is creeping into the conversation. He thinks that Scylla is more than just the company’s little black book. The general said that as long as they have Scylla, they have power. Michael believes this means energy, harnessed from the sun. They’re not protecting the past; they’re protecting the future.
Sucre tells Lincoln he can’t do this any more. Michael being okay is enough for him.
The general tells Lincoln that he’s going to work with Gretchen and Self because they all took something from him and are all going to get it back. Lincoln agrees to tell Michael that they have to retrieve Scylla. It turns out their mom worked for the company before she died.
