Safe and Sound

The gang sets out to retrieve another Scylla while being hunted by T-Bag and Wyatt. Keep reading to find out what plan Michael hatches and whether or not it's successful.

The show begins with Wyatt stalking Sara and Sara feeling his presence. She looks back to see who is following her and escapes him by running across a very busy street.

While Self is looking over the pictures of the Scylla holders, he recognizes one of them as a guy who works in the building. Michael tries to figure out a way to break into the Scylla holder's office. Sucre is determined to find T-Bag, so he and Bellick go in search of him. Self forces his way into Blauner's office. Roland is able to pick up the Scylla code, but the signal gets lost. When Self returns to the gang, he realizes that the signal is lost because Blauner put the Scylla in a mostly impenetrable safe, mostly.

Mahone meets with his ex-wife at a diner and shows her pictures. She recognizes Wyatt as the man who killed their son. She tells him not to blame himself and that she knows he's a good person and will successfully hunt their son's killer.

Meanwhile, T-Bag is warming up to his new 'job' and sips his tea while perusing the Bird Book. When a drop of tea hits the book, it changes color, making T-Bag realize a code is decipherable with lemon juice. As he asks his secretary for some more tea, he sees Sucre and Bellick at the door with a picture of him. They offer her $10,000 if she can tell them where he is. She declines the offer, assuming she will be able to get a bigger payout from her boss. Michael then calls Sucre and Bellick and tells them they need to come back. After they leave, she approaches T-Bag with her request of 3% of his commissions, to which he obliges.

Self brings blueprints of the building to Michael. As he examines them, Sara returns and tells the gang about Wyatt. Mahone shows her the picture and she acknowledges that it's him. Mahone, Sara and Roland figure out that Wyatt must be within a 9 mile radius and Mahone goes off in search of him. Michael studies the blueprints and finds a way into the safe, making Self highly uncomfortable about the number of laws he'll have to break to get them near the safe.

Elsewhere, Wyatt has Gretchen tied up in a room and continues to torture her to find out Sara's location.

Mahone goes to the bar where Wyatt found Sara. He asks the bartender about Wyatt and she tells him he was driving a red car. Mahone goes to the hotel that Wyatt was at and finds out that he has checked out. As he goes to search the room, he returns to find the hotel clerk on the phone with Wyatt. He pulls his gun on the clerk just before he tells Wyatt someone was looking for him. The clerk tells Wyatt no one came and hangs up. Mahone demands Wyatt's phone number.

The gang prepares for the break-in. Self needs to get the agent out of the office. He arranges to have a lunch meeting, but when he shows up, he finds that burgers are provided for him to eat there. Self pretends to be a vegetarian in order to get out of the building, which works. Whew. The plan also sends the gang into an elevator and then into a janitor's closet where Sucre and Bellick change into uniforms. They almost get caught when a woman busts open the door looking for toilet paper. They try to hand her paper towels, but she barges past them and gets her provisions herself. She scolds them for being disorganized and leaves. The plan goes on. Sucre and Bellick roll up with a large cart in front of the office door and begin work on a large carpet stain. As they run their noisy vacuum, Michael and Lincoln drill their way into the back of the safe. The secretary gets frustrated and approaches the door to the office, but Sucre and Bellick convince her to stop and let them finish their work. Michael and Lincoln can see shadows through the opaque glass, but somehow their shadows are not visible from the other side. As Michael and Lincoln return to drilling, they hear footsteps in the other room. They cautiously continue as the agent meets with a mysterious man. They get into the safe and retrieve the Scylla. As Roland downloads the data, they hear the conversation in the next room. The mysterious man tells the agent that he is ordering everyone to carry their Scylla on them at all times and demands to see his copy. Michael and Lincoln panic a little, but Rolland is able to copy the data just in the nick of time. All members pull out safely.

Michael and Sara have a heart to heart. She tells him about going to the bar and says she doesn't want to ever lie to him.

A man approaches T-Bag at 'his office' demanding Scylla. He tells T-Bag that he has three days to deliver or else he's dead. T-Bag looks at the word Scylla written in his book. On the other side of the door, his secretary looks at the piece of paper with Sucre's number, contemplating turning in her boss.

As the guard comes to refill the vomit bucket in Gretchen's cell, she is able to break free.

As the gang goes over plans for their next acquisition, Self tells them that one of the people with Scylla is a total ghost and goes by the name The General. He was the man in the office demanding everyone keep their Scylla on them at all times. Sara tells Michael that while she was in Panama, everyone always referred to The General and she thinks he may be the head of The Company. Meanwhile, The General is informed that Agent Self looked up his picture.

I wonder what Gretchen is going to do now that she's free. I wouldn't think she would still have allegiance to The Company after being almost killed a couple of times, but who knows. I really hope that Self doesn't get killed because I love Michael Rappaport, he cracks me up. I think that although he has a definite size disadvantage, Mahone will eventually avenge his son's death.
