Prison Break
Episode 112 - Odd Man Out
11/21/2005
Michael, five years younger, adjusts his tie in a streamlined office of an architecture firm overlooking the Chicago cityscape. The interviewer across the desk comments on Michael’s impressive resumé, then asks why Michael is interested in architecture. Michael speaks with a quiet passion about structure, design and function. The interviewer appears impressed in the young engineer in Michael and asks, “What about the future? Where do you see yourself in five years?”
Five years later (in present day), Michael crawls through Fox River’s old sewer tunnels. He locates the hiding place where he stashed his bag of belongings stolen from the Receiving and Discharge room. He pulls the black suit coat he wore in his job interview out of the bag, folds it under his arm and continues on his way. He encounters a pipe that shoots off to the left. Michael removes a single button from the jacket and throws it down the new pipe. The button clatters down the pipe’s gentle downward slope. Michael nods, then tosses the jacket down the pipe and slides down after it.
He emerges from the sloped pipe of the very bottom of a huge vertical drainpipe resembling a silo. Michael’s attention is straight up: eighteen feet above him, a slotted grate with light streaming in from above. Michael kneels on the ground and tears open his suit jacket. From inside the stitching, he removes a thick nylon rope and a heavy-duty plastic bag. He puts the suit in the bag and knots one end of the rope around it, creating a bundle. Then, he stuffs the whole bundle into a small metal porthole in the base of the silo wall. He looks up again at the grate, well beyond his reach.
T-Bag, dressed for P.I., stands at the phones in the yard having a light-hearted conversation. When he looks up, he locks eyes with Abruzzi, who’s walking towards the guards’ room for P.I.. T-Bag squirms, then whispers into the phone, “ But, uh, things are getting pretty tense, like they fixin’ to collide. You know what I mean, Jimmy? There’s a potential, situation.”
Michael and Lincoln carry tools across the yard. Michael tells his brother that he found their access to the infirmary building, but he’ll need extra time to find out how they’ll get up a twenty foot vertical drain pipe without a ladder. He needs to skip P.I. to do it. It’s dangerous to leave P.I. and risk getting busted by the guards, but they both know that Michael has no choice. Michael then reiterates the conundrum they face; all seven men involved in the escape will be unable to make it over the wall in the eighteen minutes between the guards’ yard rounds. They turn the corner and halt to discover C-Note leaning up against the wall. “Mind if I share that with the rest of the class?”
Inside the guards’ room, C-Note continues, “ Apparently, College Boy here did some math, and figured out we got one too many clowns in the car. One of us is in here digging, but his seat ain’t guaranteed.” Michael can’t deny this. They need to cut someone from the escape. Sucre throws his shovel down. He’s not digging if he’s not going. Abruzzi mutters that they all know who shouldn’t be included. And as if on cue, the door opens and T-Bag walks in. He senses the conspiracy against him and announces an insurance plan that cements his spot on the escape. “I called up my man on the outside, and I told him our plan. And I told him, in all likelihood, I’ll see him next week.” T-Bag continues, saying that if his contact doesn’t hear from him five minutes before the escape happens and twenty minutes afterwards, the contact will blow the whistle on the entire escape.
