Pope sits alone in his study, going over the “ TOLEDO” file. He flips through pictures of Will. First, his elementary school pictures and then the police photos of his body sprawled on he pavement. Pope’s eyes well up with tears.
Michael files into gen pop with the other inmates and checks his tattoo: “ENGLISH,” “FITZ” “PERCY.” He then looks at his watch: 5:44PM. He enters his cell and the doors close behind him. “It’s time.” Sucre panics. “Count’s in fifteen minutes! What are you doing?” Michael says it’s better off if he keeps Sucre in the dark.
Pope prays in the empty prison chapel. The Reverend enters, “ Don’t normally find you here at this hour. Are you seeking His forgiveness, or advice?” Pope says he doesn’t know anymore and he opens up about Will. “He was a criminal, and an addict. But he was only eighteen years old. I should have kept him on the right path.” The Reverend is familiar with this bit of Pope’s past. He reminds Pope that the woman he had the affair with made her terms very clear. Pope could not be in his son’s life unless he would also be in the mother’s life. Pope knew that when he went back to Judy, it would mean he would never know his son. He ran away from his responsibility, but was grateful to be rid of it.
Veronica and Nick stand at the front desk of a records office. They urge a bitter clerk to let them see the original tape of the murder. She refuses. Veronica and Nick beg to see it, they’ll do whatever it takes to see that tape. The clerk furrows her brows and asks for the docket number. The clerk asks for the docket number from Veronica. The clerk sighs. “Come with me,” she says. They follow her to a small back room. The shelves and floor of the archive room are littered with soaked files, destroyed boxes and ruined papers. “Last night, pipe burst right upstairs. Flooded the place. Files from over a hundred cases, pretty much lost all of ‘em. Including yours.” Veronica finds it strange that the only room that flooded was that evidence room. The clerk responds that it was some kind of freak accident.
Sucre checks his watch, the doors slide open for the inmate count. Michael is not in the cell.
Michael works his way through the service corridors again and back up to the roof. He moves quickly up the side of the roof and barely avoids a roaming search light. He checks his watch. Count has started.
Bellick reads of the names on his check list. “Scofield, Sucre.” He walks up to the cell, and Sucre is standing alone. Bellick enters and briefly looks over the cell, but Michael is nowhere to be found. Bellick stares down Sucre, and then calls out to the floor, “We got a runner!”
The alarms sound and the flood lights lining the yard come to life. Guards swarm the cell block searching for Michael. Bellick presses Sucre for more information, to no avail. Patterson radios Bellick from Pope’s office, “ Call it off, Captain. I got Scofield right in here.” Bellick barks at Patterson to visually confirm Michael’s location. Patterson opens the door to Pope’s office, and finds the room empty. Patterson presses the button on the walkie-talke. “Captain, he’s gone.”
