Quotes

add »
Lincoln: What do you think happened to Sucre?
Michael: I don't know. We've gotta move! (edit)
Susan: This had better work out. (Camera pans to back of van with Sofia and L.J. tied up). For everyone's sake. (edit)
Mahone: (to the brothers) I was told to choose between your family and mine. Those were my options. I chose mine. (edit)
Mahone: You told them they had thirty seconds to get across. The generator kicked in sooner.
Michael: I must have miscalculated. (edit)
Alfonso: (to Lincoln) Thank you for my boy. I hope you get your son back, too. (edit)

Trivia

add »
In one scene Whistler hurts his ankle running away from Sona, later in the episode he is swimming, running and jumping with no sign of an injury.

Possible Explanation: It is possible that Whistler faked his ankle injury in order to help his escape later in the episode. (edit)
Goof: Throughout the episode, Susan's lipstick color changes from bright red to pink many times even though it is one day. (edit)
We learn that McGrady's real name is Luis Gallego. (edit)
Michael says they have 30 seconds before the generator comes back on. It takes about a minute in real time, but the other escapees comment that it took less than 30 seconds. (edit)
When Lincoln is driving the car, he is wearing a blue T-shirt, but when he gets out, he is wearing a black T-shirt with a gray long sleeved undershirt. (edit)

Allusions

add »
Susan: Gotta commend you on that boom-box trick. Very sophisticated. You steal that one from Home Alone?

In the family film Home Alone, a young boy mistakenly left behind when his family goes on Christmas vacation is forced to fend for himself when two hapless burglars enter his house. He uses clever booby traps and illusions to thwart their efforts. (edit)

"Fine example"
It was still a good solid delivery, but it wasn't exceptional, then again, it isn't the finale yet is it?
