Prison Break Season 4 Episode 2

Picking up where we left off in Prison Break Season 4 Episode 1, the gang of ex-convicts has come together for the purpose of taking down the company.

Mahone got a good look at the cardholder’s driver and believes that he can narrow it down based on tax records. Finding the driver will lead them to the cardholder.

Sara’s having flashbacks of the abuse she suffered at the hands of the company, and she’s going a little bit psycho crazy.

The boys find the driver, but then they find out that the security there could take weeks to get past. They’ve been given an additional assistant, another con who is a computer genius. He invented a device that can steal the information of any electronic device within 10 feet. If they use that, they can copy the card.

The company has a number. 10,000 people. Whatever it is, it can’t be a good thing.

They find the driver and cause an accident. They’ll need to be in range for at least two minutes because the data’s encrypted. Not wanting to be disturbed, the guy in the car agrees to pay off Sucre for the damage to his car to get rid of him. It turns out the guy in the car doesn’t have the card anyway, so they get nothing.

Sara remembers that Scylla comes from The Odyssey, and in that chapter, Odysseus is forced to choose to sacrifice six of his men so that he can continue on his path.

Sara approaches the maid who works for the cardholder and tells her how much she admires her bag. Then Michael calls the maid when she’s at work pretending to be from the alarm company and has her check all the windows. They convince her to go into the library, where she’s not allowed to go. With that, they manage to get a copy of the card. Bellick steals her bag, and Mahone pretends to run him down to get it back for her, but the copying device is nowhere to be found. The maid apparently left it behind because she found it and realized it wasn’t hers. They’re going in to get it because they have no choice.

T-Bag runs across some guys offroading through the desert, and they agree to give him a ride.

After checking out the security company, they realize that armed response will be initiated within 1 second, and vehicle response will follow within half a minute. They figure they need 15 seconds to get what they’re after. First they break in across the street. Then they wait for the guy to come downstairs and deactivate the alarm at the house they actually want to break into, and they break in there. It goes off without a hitch, despite Mahone stopping dead in his tracks when he hears a young boy.

Bruce Bennett refuses to talk, so he’s drugged.

T-Bag’s in town, and he’s starting to solve the mysteries in the bird book.

After reviewing the card, they find out it’s not all of it. Going back to the quote from The Odyssey, Scylla isn’t one card. It’s 6.

Susan’s not dead after all. She’s just being tortured like she did to Sara.

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another live recap of Prison Break season 4 episode 3 Shut Down, which airs Monday at 9/8c on Fox.

Prison Break Season 4 Episode 1

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.

Check out another live recap of Prison Break Season 4 Episode 2 Breaking and Entering, which airs next on Fox.

Tori Spelling Leaves 90210

The 90210 spinoff hasn’t even started airing yet, but sources confirmed to E that Tori Spelling has pulled out of her deal with The CW.

According to insiders, Tori asked for a rate hike after she learned that Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty were making $40,000-50,000 per episode, whereas she was making less than $20,000 (granted, Donna Martin was a much more minor character, and Tori’s star hasn’t shined quite as brightly as either of theirs after the fact either). Because the network denied this request, she’s backed out altogether.

The show’s rep at the CW says: “The CW has no deal with Tori Spelling to appear on 90210 at this time.”

And Tori’s rep says the same: “At this point there are no plans for Tori to appear on the 90210 spinoff.”

There is still some time for the two sides to come together on the issue, however.

Wipeout Season 2

ABC announced today that it has picked up Wipeout for season 2 following a strong debut in its first season. Not much in the way of details (summer show again?), but ABC’s gloating about ratings follows.

A hit summer series for ABC, “Wipeout” dominates Tuesday’s 8:00 o’clock hour in Total Viewers and across each of the key Adult demographics (AD18-34/AD18-49/AD25-54). In its six telecasts to date, “Wipeout” has consistently ranked as the No. 2 show of the week in both Total Viewers and Adults 18-49. On average, the ABC freshman series leads NBC’s competing new series, “Celebrity Family Feud,” in the hour by 2.4 million viewers and by 81% in Adults 18-49. Since its debut, “Wipeout” stands as the summer’s No. 1 TV program with Men 18-49 and Men 25-54, and is the No. 2 show in Total Viewers and Adults 18-49, behind only NBC’s “America’s Got Talent” and Fox’s “Hell’s Kitchen,” respectively. The No. 1 new series of Summer 2008 in viewers and young adults, “Wipeout” represents TV’s highest-rated freshman summer series (for any net) in three years in Adults 18-49 — since the initial season of “Dancing with the Stars” in Summer 2005.
