    Very good episode!!! Very well ploted!!!

    When all the family was together michael and burrows father dies killed by mahone who won't let go. It was a little predictable but it gave the push to michael that we've all been hoping for, that is for them to fight back and not run away.

    Sucre seems to escape but at last minute the jets come to get his plane but i think he escaped! let us see how!.

    And Bellick is in a very hard place to be but that's not something the we weren't wainting for.

    C-note continues to escape but now his wife is in his place, i think he will have a very hard time to escape.!

    This episode gives many of things we were waiting for but in a cleaver and exciting way!moreless

  • A good episode, with one death, a interesting ending, and some consequences for two characters.

    Details/Progress (To point A to B) - (8/10). Michael plot leads to other point which is " stop running and destroy the Company. Bellick plot leads to another point, but take too much time screen. Sara escaped, Kellerman are dealing with the consequences and Sucre, Michael and Lincoln are in danger.

    Plot Details/Holes- (6/10). How Bellick could be caught, since there are finger prints, the 3 prostitutes as witnesses, but ok, is the usual in Prison Break. How Michael car exploded is another mystery.

    Drama - (8/10). Michael and his drama about his father. Poor C-Note.

    Suspense/Tension - (6/10). Mahone pursuit again with his gun and at least, killed someone as everyone expected.

    Surprises/Shocks - (9/10). That guy wounded in the previous episode make a appearance with a important information. I think Michael Father fate wasnt a surprise, but the final scene was.

    Time and Scene Management - (8/10). They were so quick in finding Gary death, but they were slow in finding the phone call that Bellick made because they wanted to buy time. This is why Michael drama kick in this episode, but was essential to him and Lincoln make a final decision. Sara and Kellerman scenes were ok, the same is for C-note too.

    Beginning - (8/10). We started with Sara situation, that was nice, since the situation was solved, Michael and his drama wasnt bad.

    Complication Phase - (6/10). Running, running, running

    Climax - (7/10). Didnt notice, maybe Lincoln and Michael decision to stop running when they talked.

    Ending - (9/10). Your favorites characters are in danger again, this time the writers will have to improvise. What I liked - The ending, Bellick funny faith. Sara escape and Kellerman flaw consequence.

    What I Didnt Liked - Bellick slow scenes. C-Note appearance on screen, I think that could be considered as a filler, since it wasnt necessary, he could be the first that escaped, but ok, there are people that like him, and he is been paid to appear.

    A good episode, with one death, a interesting ending, and some consequences for two characters.moreless

    Mahone searches for Michael's getaway plane while Michael reunites with his father. Sara escapes from Kellerman, who must face Agent Kim's wrath for his failure. C-Note risks public exposure. Bellick is implicated in Geary's murder. Another awesome episode of Prison Break season two. This show just gets better and better each season and each episode. I love the part were Kellerman is still torturing Sara, but then Sara attcks Kellerman, I was like "wow, I didn't think Sara would do such thing". I loved the family reunion too, this episode was so sad when Mahone killing Aldo, it was so sad when Michael, Lincoln and Sucre when they burried him. All in all an awesome episode of Prison Break again!moreless

    Having left Sara to drown in the bath, Kellerman's preoccupied with trying to get rid of an unwanted caller; the hotel manager's come to complain about the noise. When he's finally free of the distraction, the sound of water gurgling down the drain draws Kellerman back to the bathroom, where Sara, having pulled out the plug with her teeth, is ready to deliver him a hefty blow to the chest with a hot iron. By the time he's regained his footing, Sara's already made her escape, leaving him lost for words when he gets an interrogative call from Agent Kim who, as Kellerman himself later discovers, is preparing to dispose of him and get rid of every trace of his existence. Meanwhile, Bellick, having been framed by T-Bag, is arrested on suspicion of Geary's murder; and C-Note finds himself helpless when Kacee, trying to buy medication for their sick daughter, is recognised by the pharmacist and taken in by the police. Lincoln and Sucre look on as Aldo and Michael relive a painful past. But the emotionally fraught reunion takes a dramatic turn when Mahone creeps up on the group and opens fire. They manage to make their getaway, but Aldo's taken a fatal hit to the stomach and no sooner has he entered Michael's life than it's time to say goodbye. If Aldo wanted one thing, it was to see Michael and Lincoln walk free. It's time to stop running. The brothers bid Sucre a fond farewell as he boards the plane to Panama, before driving away in search of Sara, who, according to Aldo, holds the key to a recording of an incriminating conversation between President Reynolds and Steadman. Trouble's not far behind. While a military jet pursues Sucre, Mahone strikes it lucky on the ground and is hot on the trail of Michael and Lincoln. They appear to shake him off, but Michael suspects that all is not as it seems. As he tries to make a call to Sara, Mahone's car appears from nowhere and smashes into their side. When they clamber from the wreckage, Michael spots his phone on the ground. He tries to reach it, but Mahone has them at gunpoint. Michael looks on hopelessly as he hears Sara pick up the call: "Hello? Michael?"moreless

    • Aldo: (to Lincoln and Michael) Listen to me. You find Sara Tancredi. She can end this. It's up to you now. Edit
    • Aldo (to Michael): There's a tape. It'll give us everything we need. Lincoln will be set free if we find it. (Michael stops walking. Lincoln looks at Michael) Lincoln (to Michael): You're not gonna believe who he thinks has it?. Michael: Who? Lincoln: Sara. Edit
    • Michael: Six months... six months I was in that place. Where were you? How long did you know? Aldo: I found you as soon as I could. The state kept moving you around. Michael: Then you went away again, right? Aldo: You don't think it killed me, to leave you like that, to leave in the first place? Since the beginning I was the problem, since day one. Your lives are what they are because of me. Michael: Yes, Linc told me about the Company, apparently you were some kind of analyst. That's the job you chose over your family. Aldo: I thought I was doing the right thing. I thought I was protecting you. Michael: From what, Dad? From who? Aldo: The Company had enemies, I was important for the company, I become a target. The easiest way to get to me, would be to get to you. I left as soon as I realized how corrupt it all was, how they were buying the government.... Michael (shouting): You could have come back at anytime!!! Aldo (shouting): No, I couldn't. Michael, turning on the Company put me and you in even greater risk. I had to stay away. Edit
