Prison Break Season 4 Episode 22

In Prison Break Season 4 Episode 21, the first half of the series finale, Sucre and C-Note returned and are meeting with a guy who says he can help them out, Self got immunity to allow him to choose whichever side he wants, Mahone went to save Lincoln, and Michael went to save Sarah.

Michael and Sarah are discussing their plans to have a normal life at some point.

Then he receives a call from Mahone, who says that nothing happened because the detonator must have failed. They don’t have 5 minutes to wait for Scofield to arrive, so he will have to trigger it manually. Christina instructs Downey to kill Mahone, but he beats up both of them before giving them the chance. Then he dives out of the room before the explosion goes off.

Sucre makes a call to T-Bag, who’s got a gun at his head because he angered the general.

Sarah and Michael arrive at the location to pick up Lincoln, who doesn’t want to go to the hospital since hospitals mean jail. Mahone says that Christina’s buried. She’s probably still alive, though. Yep, she’s moving.

T-Bag tries to con Sucre, managing to get himself captured in the process.

They’re out of options who to trust, so Michael plans to destroy Scylla. It’s not as if the general’s going to honor his agreement with them anyway. Then Michael gets a call from Paul Kellerman, the guy C-Note’s been talking to. The rumors of his demise were greatly exaggerated. He says Scylla can be used for good if Michael agrees to give it to the United Nations.

Sucre tells T-Bag that, if they take Scylla to the UN, there will be an immunity list. He can be on it if he works with them.

Michael tells Burrows they’re brothers, whether they’re related or not.

Homeland Security is denying Self medical care, which is apparently within their ability to do. He may not be able to talk, but he can write. Not that he’s going to give them any information.

When they break into the hospital, Sarah gets what she needs to help Lincoln, but Mahone gets arrested by the guys from Homeland. As they’re about to drive away, the general’s guy tracks them down from Lincoln’s cell phone.

C-Note and Sucre hang T-Bag upside down to get him to talk.

The general’s got himself a new hostage: Sofia. Yeah, you can trust this guy.

Mahone tells the agents they’re missing what’s right in front of their faces. They don’t care about doing what’s right. They just want Scofield and Burrows.

Sucre and C-Note bust in to kill the general’s thugs and force him to let Sofia walk. Michael and Lincoln would like to kill the general. Sarah wants to let him live. He says they win, and it’s all just a game. Sucre doesn’t want revenge and just wants to clear his name, so he wants to just go and let the general live, as their hostage.

C-Note is not sure they can trust Kellerman, but he is sure that he’s their last option.

During their escape, Sucre blocks the cops, being captured by them in the process.

The others manage to get away, but they’ve been found. The mama’s not dead.

The guys who aren’t getting anywhere with Mahone are now trying to get Sucre to work with them as well. He ain’t budging either. Perhaps if they keep capturing people, they will find someone dumb enough to talk.

Christina grabs Scylla. Michael makes her an offer: drop the gun and put Scylla on the ground, or he’ll kill her. She tells him to go ahead and kill her. His gun doesn’t fire, so now she wants to shoot him. Sarah’s gun works, though. A little too well. She kills Christina, hitting Michael as well, but it appears to be a minor wound.

As Michael’s bringing Scylla to Kellerman, two guys capture him. Good thing they’re working for Kellerman, who agrees that they will all be exonerated. He hands over Scylla, but there’s a piece missing. Michael wants to know exactly who this guy’s contacts are in the US government before making a deal. So does he actually have Scylla, or do they need to hurry up and run for their lives? Tired of running, Michael puts the other piece in place.

The general has managed to escape, but he doesn’t get away before being arrested.

Alex, C-Note, Sucre, Michael, Lincoln, and Sarah are presented with documents that they sign, and then they’re free to go. Pam has been located, and she’s safe, as are Sofia and LJ.

One last bit of business: T-Bag. Do they free him or not? They’re allowed to make the choice. He asks for forgiveness in God’s name. They took a vote, and he’s in luck. He gets a stick of gum on the van ride back to prison.

Now Michael and Sarah can begin to plan their future for real. His bloody noses don’t seem to be a thing of the past, though.

Four years later, Mahone’s dating Agent Lang. Lincoln’s living with Sofia and LJ. Sucre’s with his daughter. Don Self is still a vegetable. C-Note is living out a normal life as a UPS man. Kellerman is a Congressman. The general is getting the electric chair. T-Bag is back in prison, where he’s back to his old ways.

Sarah has a new Michael in her life, her son. They’re going to see the older Michael, who has since died, and they’re all visiting him at the graveyard.

Due to its continuing ratings decline, Prison Break was cancelled, but at least they had a long time to prepare for it and create a proper series finale, although Fox did make sure it was aired to the fewest viewers possible.

Prison Break Season 4 Episode 21

Michael was given a choice at the end of Prison Break Season 4 Episode 20. Does he want to save his girlfriend or his brother?

His plan: save both. He doesn’t know how, though. His only advantage now is that neither party knows the other has leverage. Mahone suggests they go one at a time, and Sarah has the advantage of not having a bullet in her chest.

Michael calls his mom and asks to meet in 45 minutes. She won’t give Lincoln help until she gets what she needs.

Mahone suggests going to their mom and making a deal so she can have Scylla and help them eliminate the general, but Michael doesn’t want to. They’re not giving it back, and they’re going to save everyone.

Fernando Sucre’s in Chicago. We haven’t seen him in a while.

Self wakes up in the hospital. He’d like to leave, but he can’t since there are some men with badges waiting there to talk to him.

Christina instructs Downey to shoot Michael’s knees if he tries anything, so that he’s immobilized but not dead. As for Lincoln, he’ll be dumped off the dock when she gets Scylla. A bystander calls the cops and says he sees one of the guys from TV. During Michael’s conversation with his mother, he’s unable to convince her to follow him to get Scylla, so when the cops arrive and she has to leave, one of her guys trips the homemade explosive device instead.

Sucre’s having dinner with C-Note, who wants to know where Michael and Lincoln are so that he can get out of his trouble with the feds, since they want to renig on his deal.

Not getting anywhere with Self nicely, the agents who come to see him will try a little torture on him instead.

Now the general’s giving Michael a deadline. He gives him one hour until T-Bag starts playing doctor with the doctor. Sarah warns T-Bag that he’s going to die if he doesn’t leave now.

Michael calls Lincoln, who tells him there’s not enough time, and that Sarah’s pregnant, so he should go to her.

Which horse is Mahone backing now? Michael’s not quite clear on that. Mahone says that he’s just trying to do what it takes to not lose everything.

Christina never considered Lincoln her son, and she reveals to him that he isn’t. Not that being her son has worked out so great for Michael.

C-Note belives he’s found a guy who can actually help them, as long as they tell him where the brothers are.

Christina’s contact has gotten on the plane, so now she’s starting to become unstable, or more unstable. Mahone calls her to tell her that Michael’s giving Scylla back to the general in exchange for Sarah’s life. He offers her Scylla to protect his family. Mahone feels that he owes Burrows, since he’s always been straight with him and helped him out before. If he can give her Scylla and Lincoln’s still breathing, he can have Lincoln.

The general gives Michael the location where they’re going to meet, and he says that the last thing he wants is to see any member of his family ever again, so if he leaves him alone, he’ll be left alone as well.

Mahone gives Michael the case and tells him to leave. He’s got the situation with his wife handled.

Not one to actually honor his deal with Michael, the general tells T-Bag that they aren’t going to be taking Sarah to the exchange.

The attorney general has granted Self immunity. So who’s he going to be a threat to? He has agreed to call Scofield, who says it’s not necessary to tell him where he is because the whole thing’s about to be over anyway. Their conversation does not allow enough time to trace his location.

T-Bag plans to return Sarah in one piece. A piece that’s a little used.

The general gets a case from Scofield. It’s empty.

Downey dresses up like a doctor and needs to check on the patient. If the fall didn’t kill Self, he will.

Michael begins ascending the outside of the building, floor by floor. Sarah’s already in the process of escaping, but T-Bag intends to show her he’s not erectorally challenged. Before he can prove himself, Michael knocks him out.

Mahone brings Scylla to Christina as he promised. Before doing business with her, he would like to know that his wife’s in the clear. He willingly hands over Scylla before receiving those assurances, though. When they get inside, he’s locked in a room with Lincoln.

It turns out that Michael made a deal with Mahone so that they could get to both of them in time. They created a fake Scylla that’s actually a bomb.

Lost Season 5 Episode 17

In the first hour of the season finale on Lost Season 5 Episode 16, Ben found out he was going to be the one killing Jacob, Sayid got shot by Richard, and Kate, Sawyer, and Juliet got off the sub and returned to the island to stop Jack.

Richard has led them to a big foot. That’s where Jacob lives.

Jack agrees to give Sawyer 5 minutes to talk.

Now it’s Jack’s turn to meet Jacob. It was after his first major operation, when as usual he was having difficulty with his father.

Sawyer tells Jack the story about how his parents died. It was a year ago. With that in mind, he could have prevented it, but he didn’t because what’s done is done. So what does Jack want? He had her, and he lost her. He’s okay with the fact that, if what he does works, he and Kate will be strangers, and she’ll be in handcuffs. That said, it’s time for a bloody battle between Sawyer and Jack. Juliet has to intervene, telling Sawyer that Jack is right. She’s changed her mind and no longer wants to stop him.

Following her flashback as a child receiving news of her parents getting a divorce, Juliet says she changed her mind when she saw him look at Kate. Maybe they were never supposed to be together, even if they love each other. If she never meets him, she never has to lose him.

Jack asks about Aaron, even though Kate told him to never do so. She came back so that he could be with his mom. Perhaps she wouldn’t have actually given him up for adoption.

Hurley’s first meeting with Jacob was when he was being released from jail, despite confessing that he killed a bunch of people. Jacob tells him maybe he’s not cursed. Maybe he’s blessed. Maybe he’s also not crazy. Either way, he should be on the plane.

What happened to the rest of the statue? Ben says it was like that when he got there. Richard doesn’t want both John and Ben going to see Jacob at the same time, but that’s too bad. They go inside, and Locke gives Ben a knife.

Miles poses a question: has anyone considered that Jack is going to cause the thing he’s actually trying to prevent?

Stuart’s reinforcements have arrived to form a defense to kill Jack, who’s standing in the woods watching them. Unbeknownst to Jack, he’s got back up. Live together, die alone. The van shows up with reinforcements. When the situation’s under control, Jack gets closer and drops the bomb. So where’s the explosion? Chaos ensues as everything metal gets sucked into the hole, but that was hardly what they anticipated. A bunch of the Dharma people get killed, which is the good news, but then Juliet begins to get sucked into the abyss. Sawyer tries to save her, but she lets go.

Ilana arrives to find Richard and the others waiting outside the big foot. She wants to know what lies in the shadow of the statue, and she has something he needs to see. They open up the box. It’s John Locke’s body. So if that’s Locke, who’s in there with Jacob ordering Ben to kill him? Jacob tells Ben that he has a choice. Ben has noticed that Jacob has finally decided to stop ignoring him. He wants to know: what about me? Jacob responds: what about you? So with that, Jacob’s been stabbed. Before he’s kicked into the fire, Jacob says that they’re coming.

Having fallen to the bottom of the hole, Juliet seems fine. Relatively speaking. She’s not dead or anything. She begins smashing the bomb with a rock hoping to set it off. Well, looks like there’s the explosion they were hoping for.

Lost Season 6 will be coming in early 2010 as previously announced. As planned, it will be the final season of the show.

Lost Season 5 Episode 16

Jack and Sayid managed to find the hydrogen bomb in Lost Season 5 Episode 15. So their question is: now what? Meanwhile, Sawyer, Juliet, and Kate got on a sub to leave the island, and Locke’s off looking for Jacob so he can kill him.

Two guys whose identities may or may not be revealed are waiting on the beach for the boat to come their way. One’s named Jacob. The other will remain a mystery.

Kate looks to have gotten her bad girl ways started early, shoplifting a lunchbox from a local store. Avoiding a run in with her mom and the cops, Jacob agrees to pay for it.

Kate wants to get out of there. You’re kinda on a submarine and in the ocean. Sawyer doesn’t really care if Jack blows up the island.

Faraday has left detailed instructions how to remove the plutonium core and how to detonate it. This does not seem like a good idea to Richard. They have about two hours to get this to the swan station.

Dr. Chang stopped the drilling because the temperature went up 60 degrees. Stuart doesn’t care. He wants to keep going.

Richard wants to know how Locke’s alive. Locke responds that Richard should probably be the one able to explain it to him.

Locke intends to “deal with” the rest of the passengers from the flight that brought him there.

Lapidus is waking up from having been smacked in the face. He wants to know what’s in the box, so they agree to open it. So what is in the box?

Jacob also pays a visit to a young James Ford, who’s in the process of writing a letter to Mr. Sawyer after his parents are dead.

Sawyer would like to stick around, but the blonde’s not going to let him. Juliet beats up one of the guys, and then she frees herself and the others. They make the captain go back to the surface at gunpoint. He’s instructed to proceed on course once they’re gone, and he doesn’t have to worry about Horace contacting him because he now no longer has communications ability.

Richard asks Jack if he knows Locke, and he says that he does know him and not to give up on him.

Speaking of Richard, he’s also leading John Locke to Jacob. Locke wants to know why Ben didn’t tell Richard about his plans for Jacob (the part about killing him dead). Ben’s playing nice because his dead daughter told him to do everything he says. Well, that’s good news then. Locke’s not going to kill Jacob. Ben is. Now he doesn’t have to convince him.

Sayid also gets a visit from Jacob, though he’s not as young as the others were. Just then, Nadia’s struck by a car.

Richard has decided he’s gone as far with the boys as he wants. He strikes Eloise to knock her out and tells them they’re on their own. They enter a house and hear the place is under alert, so they dress up as members of the Dharma Initiative to try to hide in plain sight. That works for about 10 seconds before Roger shoots Sayid. Jin and Hurley show up in their VW to drive them off.

Sawyer, Kate, and Juliet arrive on shore, and they’re greeted by Vincent. Then Bernard and Rose. They’ve just been living there in the jungle for the past few years, and they didn’t want to be found. They don’t seem overly concerned about this whole being blown to bits issue the others are trying to prevent, but they do give them directions to the barracks.

The group of people Frank’s walking with, who say they’re the good guys, have found the cabin.

Jacob’s next stop is to a bandaged up woman named Ilana, who agrees to help him. She’s the woman leading Frank’s group.

Ilana enters the cabin, but he’s not there and hasn’t been for a long time. Someone else has been using the cabin, so they’re going to burn it down. Yeah, set fire to a place in the middle of the jungle.

Jacob finds John Locke lying on the ground, then he touches him and he’s okay.

Locke and his group have returned to their old camp, where they’ll be resting for the night. Ben acknowledges that he was just pretending the day they first supposedly met Jacob. He didn’t want him to know he’d never seen Jacob, so he lied. That’s what he does. Considering Ben got cancer, watched his daughter get shot, and then got banished from the island, Locke’s pretty sure he may well actually want to kill Jacob.

Sun finds the baby’s crib and Charlie’s ring, which makes her think about Jin. They, too, have met Jacob, on their wedding day.

Sayid, who’s busy bleeding, wants to modify the bomb and be there at the moment of the incident. They’ve got a flat tire, though, thanks to the trouble they’ve run into: Sawyer with a gun.

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another live recap of Lost Season 5 Episode 17 The Incident, Part 2, which airs next on ABC.

Southland Season 2

Launching in ER’s old time slot, Southland is probably the only recent new success story from NBC. In recent episodes, its ratings have been getting progressively worse, particularly among adults 18-49, but it’s got enough promise that NBC is willing to give it a shot at continuing. NBC has confirmed that Southland has been renewed for season 2.

Prison Break Season 4 Episode 20

Christina set up her sons in Prison Break Season 4 Episode 19, framing them for the murder of Naveen.

Lincoln and Michael have been spotted at the location of the sharpshooter. To complete the evidence against them, they must get through a locked door, which means Lincoln will get his prints on the murder weapon as he shoots his way through.

Mahone’s worried. How long before the general sees this on the news and goes after them and their families?

Michael says that Scylla is gone, but Self still plans to get it back. Scofield will cross through the ventilation system to the laundry room because there are some laundry bins outside. He asks Mahone go to where his mother was holding Sarah, and Lincoln instructs him to do whatever he’s gotta do to get her to talk.

Unconfirmed reports have linked the boys to the murder. The general is concerned what they might say to the authorities if they’re caught.

The locks in the hotel are electronically controlled, and the cops have overrode them and locked every door in the place.

An anonymous source has sent documents linking Burrows and Scofield to the Chinese, and helping kill the son of the Indian Prime Minister would probably be frowned upon.

Self enters the building and pretends he’s working with the police. They tell him their plan is to gas the place floor by floor.

Mahone has arrived to find Sarah as instructed, but there’s nobody there to interrogate. He wants her to run, but she doesn’t plan on it. Instead, she’ll stay there. If Christina wanted her dead, she would be already.

Christina pays a visit to the prime minister to offer her condolences. And to sell him Scylla. He’s fully ready to bring half the world’s population to war.

Self warns Scofield about the plan to gas him out. He spots a cleaning cart in the hallway and comes up with a plan of his own.

Another guy from Homeland Security arrives on the scene. He calls the office to find out the name of that agent who was supposedly killed recently in LA.

The general knows exactly what Christina’s planning. She hopes to reignite the 1962 China-India border war that ended in an uneasy truce when neither side could sustain the losses. It’s worse than just China and India, though. First Russia then the rest of the Middle East then Europe then the United States. It’s an apocalypse, which the general considers a bad idea.

Self runs into Agent Darrin Hooks. It’s good to see him. At gunpoint. That doesn’t last long before he begins thrashing the guy for being uncooperative. Hooks probably won’t be surviving that knife to the gut.

Scofield has managed to open a door, which immediately flashes on the screen as having been opened. This is exactly what he wanted. They set fire to their chemistry experiment, and then the cops fire gas into the hallway. Then the cops get blowed up. As they’re escaping, Scofield and Burrows are caught by the man in charge. Michael says they’re just unconscious. That’s more than can be said for the captain, though, as he’s shot from behind. The general’s man has bailed them out, and now he tells them they’re going back to the loft.

When they arrive, the general puts all their names into a bowl. They failed to complete their task in one day as instructed, so there will be consequences. Self’s name is pulled out. Their contact in Queens will be moving in on his wife, and they have no problem shooting a woman in a wheelchair. While trying to save his wife, Self said they should shoot him instead. The general is willing to honor that request, so Self jumps off the balcony, landing in the water below.

Christina has received her payoff, much bigger than what Naveen originally was willing to offer. India has given her $750 million. Not content with that, though, she asks downey to reach out to their contact in China to see if they can up the stakes. He agrees to do so, at her own peril.

If they find the money, they’ll find her. All she has to do is withdraw a little bit of money that the buyer’s sent overseas, and she’ll know it’s all there. As long as it’s a Federal Reserve signatory bank, the international wire transfer will be instantaneous, so they’ve narrowed down their list. The general likes this plan, which is why Scofield’s name was the only one that wasn’t in the bowl. Everyone else is nice to have but can be replaced.

Some kids are talking when they see Self crawling his way out of the water. He’s alive, barely, but he doesn’t want anyone to be called.

T-Bag suggests getting leverage that Scofield wants. He believes he knows where Sarah is after having pulled the information from Mahone’s GPS.

Since the man with the gun will probably kill them upon seeing their faces, Lincoln, Michael, and Alex barge into the bank wearing masks. They just wanted the case Downey was carrying. Upon exiting, a gun battle ensues. Lincoln tells his brother to go on ahead, while he handles the shooting, killing off one guy before running out of ammo.

The general has given T-Bag the assignment of capturing Sarah. She hears the noise he makes when he arrives, but he still gets the jump on her. He asks for her cooperation, but he won’t get it without a fight.

Michael realizes something’s wrong with his brother because he’s taking too long. He tries to call but gets no answer. However, he does get a call from the general, who wants Scylla because he’s got Sarah. Then he gets a call from his mother, who wants Scylla, too, in exchange for Lincoln. She shoots him where she knows it will slowly kill him, so he’ll either get medical attention in 5 hours or die.
