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.

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.

Remember how Sara Tancredi died at the start of season 3? And then they found her head in the box? Just kidding. According to E Online, Sarah Wayne Callies will be back for Prison Break season 4 as a regular character.

Apparently, that wasn’t really Sara’s head. Following a lot of people asking questions about why she’d been killed off, the producers got to thinking and decided maybe that wasn’t the right thing to do after all.

We knew internally that when we didn’t get Sarah Wayne Callies to come back in season three and be there to portray her character’s death, as soon as it was written and filmed and we saw it on screen, we knew that it was actually a way you could describe how this wasn’t Sarah’s head in the box, basically. But at that point, we were going forward with other stories, so we kind of put that on the back burner.

But throughout that time we watched how people externally were really talking about what we thought might be the case, internally: The question of, “Is Sara Tancredi really dead?” So throughout season three we were mindful of references we’d make to and who took credit for killing her and all kinds of stuff regarding her death.

Ultimately, we came back after the strike to talk about season four, and that’s when a bunch of things kind of came together, and we then had the big conversation. Is Sarah really alive and can we bring her back? And once we opened it up, it happened really quickly.

Sara’s return will allow her and Michael Scofield to have an actual relationship.

Wentworth Miller, who plays Michael Scofield on the Fox series Prison Break, greeted the media at a press conference in Tel Aviv, Israel, covered by the Jerusalem Post.

It doesn’t appear there is a great deal to report from the press conference. However, Miller said Prison Break will resume production for season 4 later this month and will return in September. Fox has been pretty quiet about the show returning for some reason, so it’s good to finally get this confirmation.

Everybody got out and started running in Prison Break Season 3 Episode 12. Bellick, Lechero, and T-Bag made it all of about 20 feet. Scofield, Whistler, Mahone, and McGrady made it outside the fence. McGrady’s with his father, and we’re waiting to see how they get past the police blockade. Whistler faked an injury and then took off, just in time to prevent Lincoln from killing Mahone.

As Whistler takes off, a chase ensues. He gets a cell phone from a pedestrian and calls Susan, just in time for Lincoln to start punching and kicking him.

McGrady and his father are approaching a police blockade. They stop and ask him some questions. McGrady hides, and his father pretends he doesn’t know anything. They demand to inspect the car.

Sucre’s being tortured back at Sona, but it’s not getting them anywhere.

Michael and Susan talk on the phone. He tells her he wants to meet in 10 minutes, alone. So she rounds everyone up.

Sona’s a free-for-all. There’s plenty of looting and violence for to go around. As Lechero’s being beaten up, T-bag insists on helping him, even though Bellick would rather leave him for dead.

Mahone makes his way into a bar for a club soda. Interesting strategy for someone running from the man.

Sucre’s brought outside and given a shovel so he can dig his own grave. He starts digging.

Susan meets Michael. She suggests he should be on the same side with the Company, since they pay well. He’s got Whistler; she has Sofia and LJ. It’s not time to exchange them, though. Michael isn’t interested in doing that just yet. He just wants to make sure everybody’s alive.

McGrady’s father has fertilizer in the back of his truck. They let him go. After they drive away, McGrady crawls through a hidden compartment behind the seat.

Lechero and Bellick are both trying to convince T-Bag to get lost and stop risking his life for Lechero. T-Bag believes the guards have a price.

LJ finds the concept of Susan thinking she can outsmart Scofield to be amusing. He leads them to a building with metal detectors. Inside, they make the exchange. Everybody else is ready to just walk away, but Sofia demands that he give the coordinates. Susan reveals that there are no coordinates. James wants Sofia to come with him, but she’s not real thrilled with the idea. Susan, meanwhile, expects Michael to just walk into a trap, but he knows she’s got shooters ready at each exit, so he makes an alarm go off so that everybody will go outside together.

Sucre’s done digging his grave. He lies down as the guard demands. Then they start burying him alive.

Once they get the money, T-Bag reveals his true intent. He’s not trying to help Lechero. He wants to take the money and kill him. Lechero hands him a pillow, which he uses to smother him to death.

At the exit, Susan and Whistler are stopped by the guards, since Michael’s planted evidence on them. One of Susan’s goons comes up and shoots. He’s shoved out of the way, and his misfire hits Sofia. Lincoln refuses to leave her there, which should be an indication to her and to Whistler which side is the right side. LJ agrees to stay with her so that Lincoln can run.

Whistler has some bad news for Susan. The book is gone.

McGrady and his father stop for a homecoming party.

Once he’s all the way buried, the guards finally realize that burying Sucre isn’t going to work. Once they unbury him, the phone rings, and Sucre’s told he has to find out where they are if it’s Scofield, which it is. After finding out how everybody is, he drops the phone and breaks it, daring the guard to kill him.

T-Bag makes an announcement in the middle of the yard. He tells everybody that Lechero is dead and gives a speech about how everybody is equal. Then he holds up a fistful of cash, which he starts throwing around to the other prisoners.

Sucre’s not dead. He’s just a prisoner in Sona now.

LJ gives Michael a paper rose that he’d left for Sara back when they were in Fox River.

From her hospital bed, Sofia whispers to LJ that she found something under Whistler’s bed. Lincoln isn’t interested, but Scofield. They find some papers with the name Jason Lief. Michael doesn’t want to just get away. He wants revenge. While Lincoln heads off to the hospital to see Sofia, Michael goes to hunt down Susan.

Whistler shows up at the bar with Susan, and he’s there to get Mahone, who says he’s in. In the process, Mahone also suggests that Susan’s the weak link, and if that’s the case, Scofield will find them.

At this point, Prison Break has neither been officially cancelled nor renewed. Hopefully they pick it up for a fourth season, as there’s still obviously more left to the story. Stay tuned to dingoRUE for continued coverage.

After months of waiting, the gang finally broke out of prison in Prison Break Season 3 Episode 11. The episode ended with the power going out, giving them 30 seconds to make a run for it.

Lechero, Bellick, and T-Bag take their sweet time getting out. Michael knows they’ve taken too long and tells the others to wait. Ignoring the warning to stop or be shot, Lechero gets shot (but not killed). Despite this, Michael doesn’t need to go to plan B because he says this is all going according to plan.

Michael knew the generator was going to kick in sooner than 30 seconds. Lincoln tries to call Sucre, but Sucre’s caught and handcuffed.

Bellick spills the plan to the guards and promptly leads them to the tunnel. While their attention is diverted elsewhere, Michael uses the distraction to head out of the tunnel. Just as the guards reach the tunnel, the last of the guys gets out. Shortly thereafter, they realize they’re four inmates short (Scofield, Whistler, Mahone, and McGrady).

By the time the guards figure it out, the guys are already through the fence and running through the jungle. During the mad dash, Whistler falls and injures his ankle, but there’s no way they’re leaving him behind.

They meet up with Lincoln, who says they have what they need. Whatever it is, it’s buried, and they have to dig it up. While this is happening, Whistler warns that the Company’s going to kill all of them after the exchange, and he tries to convince them to just let him go. What they dig up is tanks so they can be invisible (underwater). Of course, they’ve only got four tanks since McGrady was unexpected. McGrady can’t swim anyway, so Scofield offers to share with him. There’s an added wrinkle. The bird book, with the coordinates Susan wants, was dropped in the escape.

Back at Sona, the guards are kicking the crap out of Bellick, who doesn’t know anything because obviously Scofield wasn’t going to trust him with any useful information.

When they get to where they’re going, there is no Sucre waiting for them because he’s still otherwise occupied.

Using dogs, the guards figure out something’s in the sand. They do some digging and find a cooler with shoes in it, so they know exactly where they need to look now.

They see a boat coming up to them, unsure whether it’s friend or foe. It’s not Sucre, but instead McGrady’s father has taken the boat and picks them up.

Meanwhile, the guards are getting tired of beating up Bellick, so they turn their attention to T-Bag, who just happens to be thrown down in the dirt right near the book, which he grabs.

The other four head off together, leaving McGrady to go home with his father. While they’re driving off, they get a phone call from Susan, who’s right near them. The watch Whistler got from Susan is a tracking device, and they know exactly where they are.

They cause one car following them to wipe out. The second one chases them to a dead end, a cabin in the woods, where a shootout ensues. Eventually, Susan shows up to join in, realizing they’re just faking her out (either that or they’re really bad shots, since they only hit the car three times). She barges down the door to find out it’s just sound effects. They’ve all headed out back and got another car.

T-Bag tells the guards “I know less than you do, which is hard considering how dumb you are.” So then they decide to electrocute him. When he sees Sucre, who’s finally been allowed to go, he tells them Sucre knows everything.

Susan calls Lincoln, who’s stopped at an abandoned warehouse. He demands she meet them there, telling her she’s not calling the shots any more.

McGrady and his father are headed straight for a police blockade. We’ll have to find out what happens to him next week.

Sucre plays dumb, but the information about the escaped Fox River prisoners says otherwise.

Mahone says he’s going to leave. Lincoln wants to shoot him as revenge for his father. Michael tries to convince him not to, but the noise from outside (Whistler escaping) is what actually gets him to stop. He’s running pretty fast for a guy with an injured ankle, and he steals a truck and drives off.

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another live recap of Prison Break season 3 episode 13 The Art of the Deal, which airs Monday at 8/7c on Fox.

Sammy overthrew Lechero in Prison Break Season 3 Episode 10, but it wasn’t long before Lechero was back in charge with Sammy’s untimely death after Scofield set him up. Sucre got a bribe from Susan, which he immediately sent home to Maricruz, so now Susan knows exactly where to find her.

The plan’s to get out of there by tomorrow, a seemingly impossible task, which means it should be no problem for Michael. He breaks the news to Lincoln that T-Bag’s coming, too, and Mahone, and Bellick, and a druglord.

T-Bag warns Whistler that he shouldn’t trust Michael, the guy who’s broken him out of prison twice now.

While they’re digging, it starts raining. Worried that the tunnel won’t hold up at night, the plans are changed: they’re leaving tonight instead of tomorrow.

McGrady confronts Michael, and once again, he tells him he’s not going with them, saying he’s protecting him from a life on the run.

Susan threatens Maricruz again, which gets Sucre to spill the beans that Michael’s having second thoughts about who he’s breaking out with, since last time he broke out some mad dog killer types.

Bellick wants to be a team with Mahone, turning on Scofield and being a hero. Mahone’s not real interested in the plan.

Sucre shows up at the prison. Michael needs help with the backup generator. He feeds the information on it back to him (manufacturer, model, and customer service number). By calling customer service, he finds out they’ve got just enough dark to make it out.

Susan wants to meet with Lincoln in person. When he arrives, they call Whistler so Susan can drive home a message to him by torturing Sofia. Scofield warns him that if he gives away the information, which he hasn’t figured out yet, Susan will turn on them. Later on, Whistler does figure out the coordinates and warns Scofield so he can plan accordingly. Michael suggests giving them the wrong coordinates to buy some time.

T-Bag wants to be Mahone’s partner, too, which leads to a response involving the word inbred.

Susan, Lincoln, and Sofia come to the prison to get the coordinates. Whistler gives her part of what she wants, saying he won’t give her the rest until he knows that everybody’s safe. She gives them 24 hours to get her the rest.

Lincoln’s going to have to cut the power from the outside. Michael tells him he’s got his concerns about pretty much everybody, but he just wants it to be over.

Michael has another chat with McGrady, giving him the option whether to stay or leave. He obviously chooses to leave, since nothing good can come from staying either.

Everybody finds out just how much time it’ll take for the backup generator to come on: 30 seconds. Not leaving them a lot of time. With that in mind, T-Bag and Lechero threaten to kill Whistler if they’re not first. Mahone’s not interested in moving ahead in line, though, as he doesn’t want his back to any of these people.

While at the prison, Sucre’s stopped and told that, when they ran his ID, they found out he’s got a warrant out for his arrest.

Lincoln runs a bus into the wires outside the prison, knocking out the power, and that’s where we leave things for next week.
