    The company needed this Whistler guy only because he can figure out some coordinates? That's it? Then why did they want to bust him out of prison in the first place when all they needed was just a stupid piece of paper with coordinates on it? Come on, you gotta be kidding me! And how on earth can Gretchen show up in Sona again like nothing has ever happened? Hello? Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't she interrogated and didn't she kill that nosy general?
    Sorry, but it really can't get any dumberr than this. I'm done with this show!moreless

    Presentation Phase - (9/10). Season 1 type of beginning, the same Thing when Bellick found the Hole in season 1.

    Complication Phase - (7/10)*2. The complication here is that they have to move faster, LJ and Sofia being captive is not something new.

    Ending - (8/10). The ending that initiate all.

    Time and Scene Management - (8/10). There were many filler scenes, but overall, the writers managed to create interesting conversation and setups, so it is hard to notice, still

    Plot Details/Holes- (8/10). Prison Break writers continues to write miracles, for example if they needed to escape in one hour, I believe that the writers could make another miracle, but since there wasnt any obstacle...Sucre being caught because he choose a name of someone that was with a criminal proceedings it is ok, but that would come with a photo at least.

    Details/Progress (To point A to B) - (7/10). The escape will only happen in the next episode, but all the preparations were set.

    Suspense/Tension - (7/10). There were some scenes filled with tension, nothing great, just good tension and some suspense.

    Drama - (9/10)*2. I liked this boy drama, Michael didnt want him to join the escape squad because he felt responsible for what happened to some of the escape Squad in season 1 like the Tweener. Poor Sucre, he is screwed. Whistler shared some drama too, but I didnt buy it. Mahone continues to surprise me with his good attitude. Some interaction was very interesting to hear. What I liked - The tension in this episode, the gun fight, Audrey and Chloe were clever

    What I Didnt Liked - Nothing special.

    Heavy rains force Michael to move up the escape timetable and break out of Sona that evening. McGrady joins in on the escape, and T-Bag and Lechero form an alliance as Bellick hopes to form one with Mahone. Lincoln and Sucre help bring the lights down on Sona. What can I say about this episode? Well, it is another awesome episode. Another awesome great storyline too, Prison Break is just getting better and better. I love the way Michael says there out but tonight. I always get really excited, I love Prison Break too much. Anyway another awesome episode. 9.9 out of 10 for this episode, might as well be 10 but there is better episodes in this season.moreless

    This episode opens as the selected inmates and Michael continue digging their tunnel they find out that it is raining over their hole out of the prison and so Michael announces that they are leaving that night. Susan discovers that there is a bomb in her car and when she meets Sucre she gives it back to him. Lincoln goes to met Susan. Lincoln calls Michael and asks to speak to James. They ask him for the co-ordinates and because he doesn't know them she burns Sofia with a cigar, about 3 times. James, Michael met with Sofia, Susan and Lincoln outside. James rips the co-ordinates in half and gives Susan half. He says half now, half after he knows Sofia and LJ are safe. They all get ready to go as soon as Lincoln cuts the power. They have 30 seconds to make it before the back up generator kicks in. Sucre is called into the main office of the guards and he learns there that the alias he used has a warrant out for arrest. Lincoln hijacks a bus to try and knock down the power tower which is for the prison. As the darkness hits they start to escape.moreless

  • Trivia

    ADD TRIVIA
    • In a high security prison where the tower guards keep everything under watch, how could they not see Susan giving Whistler the chronometer? Would it be that easy to smuggle stuff inside SONA? Edit
    • In the scene where James and Susan are communicating over the phone through Lincoln and Sofia says James's name you see that Michael sits down and puts his hands together. But in the very next scene right before James hangs up you see Micheal sit down again and puts his hand together again exactly the same way as before. Edit
    • Goof: The phone number Sucre reads to Michael isn't from Panama and wouldn't be accessible from there without using at least a prefix, so it's very unlikely it'd be written that way on the machine. Edit

    • Bellick: (to Mahone) I was thinking, you and me should be a team. Not just during the escape, but after. Like Butch and and Sundance. This is a reference to Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid, two members of a group of famous bank and train robbers from the late 1800s. Both men used aliases--Cassidy's real name was Robert Parker, and Harry Longabaugh was known as The Sundance Kid. Robert Redford and Paul Newman played the notorious robbers in a 1969 movie called Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid. Edit
    • Title: Under & Out An allusion to the military voice procedure "Over and Out". Edit
