    I've seen this debate in 2 previous threads, so let's try to figure it out: Is Mahone joining the company to take it down with Michael or just because it was the most convenient choice?

    A few facts:

    Mahone knew Whistler before Sona (probably, because of the company).

    Mahone helped Whistler escape from Lincoln&Michael.

    Mahone hates the company (non-fact, just opinion).

    I think it would be a major turnoff to have Mahone working for the company again (season 2 is back?) and that it would be waaaaaaay better to have him working with Scofield from the inside (besides, that could lead to some kind of ending for the show), specially now that it seems Lincoln is not going to help Michael.

    I dont understand you acknowledge that we are disscussing this in other threads yet you make another..And also Mahone didnt know Whistler prior to Sona hence trying to kill him in episode two.

    Simply-
    Mahone is either playing the company,or using them for something he needs,be it another chance at life or related to his family or even the overall plan of Whistler.

    Anyway to give this thread some worth i found this funny link - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcraCyx5KP8

    You don't really need to start a whole new thread for this, especially when you know this is being discussed in other threads

    Because they can help him. Mahone is a criminal in the United States. He's a criminal in Panama now. He wants to go and be with his family but obviously can't because he's a wanted man. The company are the only people who can make his charges go away. They're essentially the only people that can make him a free man again, so he can go home and be with his family. They also have the resources and the money to give him a new life, help him start over. There's plenty of more reasons as well, at least that I can think of. Why is it so hard for people to use their imagination and think about these kind of things?

    Finally, someone put the PB recap on the Fox website and there it says that Mahone has been bought out for 300,000 Dollars.

    There's your motivation.

    To prove angryguywalking's fact**: http://fox.com/prisonbreak/recaps/recap_313.htm "Whistler meets Mahone at the bar. Mahone hasn't been eyeing the bank after all, but the clock; this meeting was planned. Whistler pays Mahone's tab. Mahone asks for his money, but Whistler points at Susan waiting outside and says she handles the cash. Mahone's been hired by the Company for $300,000."

    **I'm doing this because I know people are lazy and won't check the site unless directly linked.

    Maybe Mahone is secretely working for Michael. Highly unlikely but possible. Its prison break anything is possible.

    He wasn't aware completely of just who he was working for till..well it was too late(his family threatened/accident), the last couple episodes of season 2 were only when he fully put the pieces together.

    He getting money doesn't proove anything. I'm not lacking of imagination nor being lazy, the show is famous for the twist in the plot and characters motivations, so we can have reasonable doubts about what's really going on. Don't be that obtuse.

    Ps: I created the thread because, even though it has been mentioned previously on other post, it hasn't been, acording to me, properly discused. You can disagree, but there's no need to be arrogant.

    Actually I like your theory. Michael and Mahone working together. Michael did see the bird book and it was obvious Mahone's name was in it. What if they hatched a plan in Sona. I think Mahone's the inside man and Michael is the outside man, because unless they work together their families will always be in danger by the company.

    I really think Mahone would do it, especially since you really start to feel bad for him in season 3, not everything was his fault.

    Nah, I dont think Mahone is working with Michael. It would be cool though. But like someone else said he is probably working with the company because they can offer him money and freedom. Also because Mahone said in the last episode that if Gretchen had done what he thinks she did, Michael will find her, and then he will find them. Altough he could say that and still be working with Michael. Maybe he just said it to bluff Whistler.......you never know with this show. But I dont think they are working together.

    If you read the first page, you would have known they offered Mahone money.
