PRISON BRE-I DON'T CARE


Ah, yeah.


I don't know if I'm just becoming jaded or what. The last few episodes of Prison Break have been frustrating. The body count is now going through the roof and we've lost 2 major characters in one episode. And when I say "lost", I mean they were unnecessarily killed violently.


She's got great abs

Long story short, I hope. Last time we talked about the guys, they were being chased by Bellick and Geary. So they caught them and took them into custody. Michael thought they wanted the reward money, but Bellick's not as dumb as he looks. He wanted Westmoreland's money. Get in line dude, really. He's only the 35th person who wants to find that damn money. Nika, Michael's wife, is a little peeved at the $5,000,000 they were going to get and the piddly $10,000 he was going to send her for helping out. She forms an allegiance with Bellick. She plays both Michael and Linc, and Bellick at the same time, but you never know who she's with. The group's waiting for Geary to come back with a new tire since Linc busted out their tire and they've had to wait in a farm house. Nika does some sack shaking and fools Bellick. The guys take him and Geary hostage and get away, but not before Nika tries to back stab them for the money. Linc's on to her though and doesn't let it happen. Michael feels bad and says he'll still send her the $10,000. They head off to Utah to find it.

Sucre and his dumb ass finally shows up in Las Vegas. Unfortunately, Maricruz can now be seen on The Nine and he doesn't get to see her. Hector's there though and tries to keep him there until the stupid police come in, sirens blazing, and he gets away. Also getting away and heading to Utah is C-Note. He hops a train and uses the computer of the lady next to him to find out the coordinates for what Westmoreland says. I really don't know how he does this, but I think it's mostly with the knowledge he gained by being in the military. Those commercials are right. C-Note's found out on the train and has to ditch. Because these guys are being followed around by the worst group of investigators, they still don't find him and he ends up walking to Utah. Luckily, Sucre comes by and picks him up. For real.


NNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Abruzzi, dear Abruzzi. He's finally made it back to his place and his wife is happy to see him. He's booked to leave the country the next day with his family and disappear. Someone mentions to him though that they know where Fibonacci is. He can't control himself and goes after him, much to his wife's dismay. He goes to a seedy motel, supposedly where the Feds are holding Fibonacci. He walks through the unlocked door and while he's in the room, Fitch and the rest of the Feds show up. They did this to trap Abruzzi. He's not having it though and when he comes out, instead of going back to prison and buying everyone off and living the good life, he threatens the cops and gets himself killed. NNOOOO!!! Body count for this season- 2.



Sweet Tweener, who I'm now going to call David because we know his name finally, has been going across the country with this chick he met at the college campus. I'm gonna call her Emily because Emily's a pretty name for a pretty girl. Emily and David get close, even though her father doesn't approve of them staying in the same place, since she told her father she was attracted to him. They have a fun time until the police knock on the door. David freaks out and so does Emily when the cop shows her pictures of David and says he was spotted in the area and he wants to know if she's seen him. She lies and says she hasn't, and then kicks David out, at least giving him her car to make it awhile. He can't make it too far though and leaves the car.

Fitch is tracking the movements of our guys and because he's the only somewhat intelligent person, he figures out that they're all heading towards the Utah area. Then in an unbelievable discovery, he realizes they're after the Westmoreland money. He goes to where D.B. Cooper paid for some gas with some stolen money and realizes the guys are probably headed hear Toole, which they are. What I don't understand is the guy who received the stolen money from Westmoreland when he was posing as D.B. Cooper, why didn't he just identify Westmoreland when they arrested him? It's sorta dumb and not really thought out.

While all of this is going on, Haywire is somehow making it across the country to some unknown place. He's crazy and walks into some old lady's house. She's blind and probably a little stupid because she thinks he's her son. He washes up and you think he may kill her before he leaves but he just takes a picture off the wall of Sweeden or something. He finds a boat and steals the live preserver. Wait, I'm not going to waste my time talking about him, he's stupid and crazy and there's really no point. He's pretty harmless and there's no real reason the dumbass police haven't caught him, except they're dumbasses.

Ha-Ha! His last name is "Kock"

Fitch makes his way to Toole, right around the same time as our guys get there. They go to City Hall and unfortunately the page with the map of the Double K ranch has been ripped out. David and T-Bag, who's made it across the country through lying and a murder or two, arrive in Toole at the same time and meet up. David's not too happy about that though since you know, T-Bag's into butt raping and David's not. Linc and Michael find T-Bag and he says David has the map.


Can Michael please stop dressing like Forrest Gump?


They find David in a supply store. The man figured out who he was and hit him over the head and tied him up. Linc and Michael got there just in time to save him and tie the man up. David tells them that T-Bag has the map. T-Bag eats it so the guys won't kill him and they make their way to the Double K ranch. Unfortunately, some track housing has gone up and they're not sure where the silo with the money once stood. Finally they figure out that it's in the garage of one of the houses.

David goes back to the supply store and gets all the equipment they need. Michael goes to the house and tells the slutty lady inside that they're there to fix something in the garage. Because she's sorta slutty she's okay with this. T-Bag thinks he's hit the jackpot and Michael sorta lets him go off and hit on her while they start digging. Suddenly, C-Note and Sucre show up and they agree to all split it and dig. They tell David to go get the car gassed up so they can run out when they're done. He goes off.


Ah, der!

While the guys are going for the gold, er, cash, Sara Tancredi gets friendly with Kellerman. She thinks he's hitting on her but he pretends he's gay so she won't think that anymore. They have a good time hanging out and he sees one of the origami's Michael is sending her. It has what looks like a number. He copies it down and tries to call it but it's disconnected. He tries to contact the now President and she won't see him. The man who's his contact tells him that she's trying to not be involved, which Kellerman doesn't like because he's a big reason why she's now the President. While he's in Washington trying to see her, Governor Tancredi sees him. He met him a few days before in Sara's apartment and is surprised. Awhile later, while he's packing to come back to Chicago, Governor Tancredi calls Sara to warn her. He says that he's been looking into the Lincoln Burrows case and he knows the truth or something like that. He then tells her that her friend isn't who he says he is. Just then Kellerman shows up at the store Sara's in. She hangs up on her dad and tries to leave. He realizes something's wrong and calls his contact. He tells him that they intercepted a call from the Governor and they're on to him.


With the Tancredi angle not good, Kellerman says he's going to go through Lincoln's son, LJ. Uh oh, this can't be good. You know what else isn't good? Hanging yourself. Sara learns from one of her father's people that the President pulled his name from the Vice President nominations. She goes to his house to talk to him and he's hung himself. She pulls him down and calls for help. When he gets to the ground a key falls off of him from somewhere and it scoots to near her purse. They try to revive him and can't. When they take his body they tell her they think it was a suicide and when she goes to leave she finds the key. Body count for this season- 3, for this episode- 1.


Kellerman is talking to his contact and he says that now that Governor Tancredi is taken care of, it's his daughter's turn. Kellerman doesn't like this idea. Somewhere between killing LJ's mother and step father, his own partner, and framing Lincoln for the President's brother's murder, he grew a heart and doesn't like this idea. He may be too late though, when Sara gets back to her place someone's laid out a whole bunch of drugs, I'm assuming to shoot her up with them and fake an overdose. She realizes this right as a man walks out of her kitchen, eating a sandwich. Not really, but wouldn't that have been bad ass Pulp Fiction like?

Fitch is hot on the escapees trail and eventually makes it to Toole. He finds the supply store and goes into it. He and the Sheriff find the tied up guy and some other guy who walked in while David was there before and he tells Fitch about the escapees. Fitch mobilizes and wants to do a door to door search.

They guys have been digging forever. And I'm really tired of them digging, anywhere. We just spent a whole season with them digging. They should be professionals by now. T-Bag is seducing the old slutty lady. He thinks he's getting somewhere but she's a tease. She was being nice to him so he would put a good word in for her with Linc. T-Bag is pissed and rightfully so, that was kinda wrong of her. When Michael comes into the room he notices T-Bag and the lady gone and a broken glass. He goes upstairs, concerned for her and the woman is startled by Michael's presence. They hear a car outside and it's a cop. T-Bag grabs the lady and covers her mouth. The cop comes in and I'm thinking this is one bold bitch. Not the kind of house to house searches we're used to.

Turns out she's the woman's daughter. The guys get her and tie her up with her mom while they continue to dig. Yes, there are like 15 of them and they're still digging. They keep yapping so I think it's mostly that that's keeping them. The cop tries to talk some sense into Sucre because he's opened his big mouth and told them about his girlfriend being pregnant and getting married. The cop says she's pregnant too and she needs her pills. She seems to take at least two over this hour or so period, but the pills are in the kitchen, in a drawer. If she was out on patrol how was she gonna take these pills. I guess I have to believe that's why she came back to the house.


So while David's out he gets caught. I'm sad about this because I do not want him going back into a cell with Avocado. Fitch talks to him and tells him some sad story about not being able to find some guy he's been looking for, Oscar Shales. They've referenced this guy since the very beginning and it's been pissing me off to high hell that they just show his picture every episode and Fitch looks at it all whimsically like, "The one who got away". Annoying. Anyway, David finally agrees to turn them in and Fitch takes him to the house. He flashes on when he first met Michael and then turned them in and at this point I knew he wasn't at the right house. Nope, he was at Emily's house. Fitch runs to get him and he gets out an apology to her and says he's going to write her every day in the big house. Fitch isn't too happy about this and he drives David back to the station. On his way back he stops on the side of the road and tells David to stretch his legs. Uh oh, this can't be good. And it's not. Fitch ends up confessing that he's not still looking for freakin' Oscar Shales, that he shot and killed him. Just like he does with David. Yes, for no apparent reason, and to make the character completely unlikeable, he kills David. I mean, he must realizes how inept the cops are because they won't ask him why he stopped, or how David got the throw away gun that he planted, or why he doesn't have powder burns on his hands, or why there aren't any bullets missing from the gun he supposedly fired but didn't. Body count for this season- 4, this episode- 2.

At the house the guys are still digging and the cop is still working Sucre over. They're wondering where David could be and they learn he's been captured. They figure he's going to lead the cops there.

Wherever LJ is he's told his lawyer's there to see him. He doesn't believe it and is a little scared. When he gets to see the lawyer the guy tells him that he's being released, that all the charges against him are going to be dropped. When Kellerman's contact hears this he's pissed. Kellerman says that Lincoln will come for the boy, and when he doees they can nail him. Well, he's right. At some point they got a TV in the area they're digging and there's an announcement that LJ is being released. Lincoln decides, stupidly, to go after him and get him so they can all go to Mexico together. They decide to meet in three days and Lincoln drives off in the slutty lady's car.



They're still digging and they hear someone outside and it turns out some guy coming to pick that slut up to go to the "club". Michael intercepts him and tells him that she already left. When he goes back in they've found the money. Michael knows that as soon as the guy gets to the club and realizes she's not there he'll come back looking for her. They start packing it up and dividing it. Me, I would have just thrown it in trash bags and got the hell out of there, but they don't. They're all happy it's going to work out and suddenly Sucre shows up in the doorway with a gun and tells the guys to freeze. Uh oh. Dumb.
