Prison Break s04e02 Episode Script

Breaking and Entering

They ran the projection you asked for,General.
You're clear.
Go ahead.
There's been a complication.
Burrows and Scofield have been transferred to I read the newspapers.
You don't have to tell me what's in the headlines.
The exact penitentiary where they're being held is undisclosed.
But you can guarantee it'll be Federal.
Supermax.
No more updates.
Call me when they're dead.
Welcome to Los Angeles.
As it turns out,men who have escaped not one, but two penitentiaries, are considered a bit of a flight risk.
So we need to know where you are and what you're doing at all times.
Theses are GPS ankle monitors.
Now step up,take one and put it on.
I ain't wearing that.
Let me make this clear.
I'm your ally, but more importantly,I'm your boss.
Which means if this fails it's my ass on the line as much,if not more, than yours,so from this point on, if I ask you to do something,you do it.
If I ask you to say something, you say it.
And if I ask you to put on a monitor you put on a monitor.
As far as the general public is concerned, you're being contained in a supermax facility somewhere in the United States.
So to avoid any messy explanations and stay off the Company's radar you need to keep your heads down and your ears open.
We've provided cell phones,clothing,and toiletries all the basic necessities to get you up and running.
Hey,uh, you you patted these guys down before you let them in,right? 'Cause I can't be getting shanked or shived.
Who's this? This is Roland Glenn.
He'll be assisting you.
We've already got our team.
No,Scofield,see,this is my team, And Roland's working off a sentence just like the rest of you.
In fact,with the amount of security that's gonna be around Scylla, Roland's expertise will be a necessity.
So,if no more questions, let's get to work on finding Scylla.
What about that second step? - What about the break-in? - You let me worry about step two,okay? You just worry about finding Scylla.
I've got an idea where to start.
That's excellent,Alexander.
See,there's a man who's thinking.
All right,let's let these men get to work.
Good luck.
To all of us.
Yeah, since I was here first I think I'll just go ahead and grab that S.
S.
bedroom, if that's cool.
- Sara - Yeah? you take the bunk.
You know,when this is,when this is all done you and me,we're gonna settle up.
All right,obviously, there's a lot of history in this room.
That's a given.
But it we're gonna pull this off, it's gonna take all of us.
We got to work together.
So if anyone has a problem,get it out now.
You want to clear the air with someone now's the time.
All right.
Let's get to work.
Whistler's assignment was to drop off this,this,this data card th this "Scylla" to a Company Executive.
Someone he referred to as "The Cardholder.
" And his job was to to protect it.
To keep it safe.
Now,I didn't see who he was,but I got a look at his driver.
His driver? You want to sketch this guy's face and match it up to 10 million people in Los Angeles? Well,that's just great.
I saw more than just the guy's face.
All the drivers were hanging around,talking shop, but this guy,he was standing by himself.
Legs apart,hands behind his back, at rest he's former military.
His car rides a little lower than the rest of 'em.
Probably signifies private security.
Weighed down by bulletproof siding.
His suit,his suit you don't buy a suit like that on a cop's salary or pulling weekend gigs as a driver.
That means he's full-time.
He's highly paid.
You ask our friend Mr.
Self to run tax records on the 45- to in Los Angeles drawing a military pension, and taking six figures from a private security company, and you narrow your field from 10 million till about 50.
And then I can pick the guy out from there.
Find the driver,you find the Cardholder.
We haven't ate or drank anything for days.
Oh,I don't want to die out here.
We ain't gonna die,Sancho.
Hey.
Hey,hey,we ain't gonna die.
Okay.
We just gotta find what's called a compass cactus.
Due to the fact it always leans toward the south.
Inside there's delicious fruit which'll fill our bellies.
Plus,we find out which way is south, we're gonna find out which way is north.
ops? Tell you what.
Why don't we,uh,rest here for a while,huh? Travel at night when it's cooler.
That sounds good.
What are we gonna do when we get there? To San Diego.
You mean after Michael pays for the vile he's transgressed upon me? I'm still trying to figure that out.
Oh! Nice to work with Homeland.
The FBI would take days to gather this intel.
Well,the FBI should'a hired me 'cause I could've gotten whatever info you wanted in 25 minutes tops.
You some kind of hacker? I design silicon lithography for personal gain.
He's an identity thief.
He's a douche.
Hey,why don't you sit in the corner and we'll get you when we need you.
This is him.
That's the driver.
Now what? Well,he takes us to the Cardholder, and the Cardholder takes us to Scylla.
You could have left me there,in jail.
Could have or should have? Maybe both.
Are you thanking me,Alex? - I don't know.
- Don't bother.
You're here because we needed you.
- Not because we wanted you.
- That's him.
That's the guy.
What's that,private security? It's like a fortress.
Slow down.
Slow down.
This thing we gotta get, it's in there? Motion sensors,alarm systems, armed guards.
In and out of that place without anybody knowing.
You better have one hell of a plan,Michael.
So,basically,there's no freaking way to break in - to the place.
- Not quickly.
- Not without being seen.
- What about the neighbors,uh,somewhere we can be staged from,you know,go under and up? Closest neighbor is here,across the street.
And even that would take weeks.
The government's story about us being held in a supermax will only last so long.
What does that mean? I mean, then what if somebody finds out we're not.
What if we don't have to be in the house? If the card this Scylla is so important maybe the guy is carrying it on him.
Well,according to public records,the owner of the estate's name is Stuart Tuxhorn, and he's a CEO of a company called Spectroleum.
Heavy hitter like that's gonna have security 24-7.
And we gotta get this thing without anyone knowing it's gone,right? So even if he's got it on him,how do we get it off him? You don't steal the card.
You copy it.
Oh,now you're interested in what I gotta say,right? Copying it will make it harder.
Not only do you have to steal it, you have to return it,genius.
Only if you don't got me,hombre.
What's that? This is the reason I got busted.
Oh,you stole the cell phone? Oh,yeah,yeah,no, I'm looking at federal time cause I stole a cell phone seriously? Whoa,whoa,whoa,whoa,whoa.
I invented this so that I don't have to steal.
It looks like a cell phone but it's really like a digital black hole.
Wireless hard drive that swallows up any electronic data within ten feet of it.
Like what? Like the account info of anyone at Starbucks with a latte and a laptop.
Like the PIN number of any credit card used at a gas pump.
I can walk out of here and get the identities and financial statements of ten people in ten minutes, on a slow day, with one hand on my junk.
And the information embedded in Scylla? If we can get close enough it's ours.
Is this number acceptable to you? - Yes.
- Good.
Now that you're on board, we can issue the op-order today.
He's on his way.
All right,hold on.
Sara,it's me.
Everybody's on.
Now,while I'm monitoring the device, I'm not gonna be able to see exactly what data's being copied.
But,like downloading quality porn from the Internet,progress bar's gonna tell me when it's time to rock and roll.
How long do they need to stay in range? Encrypted data like this is gonna take at least two minutes.
Here he comes.
Sucre,you're on.
Good luck.
Easy.
Huh?! Sir,would you mind stepping away from the vehicle? Talk to me,Roland.
I got nothing,man.
Last time I had this little action,I was dry humping my way through fifth grade.
Calm down.
Sir Sir Step away from the vehicle! Okay,bro,just relax we don't have to get all excited.
You speak English now.
Only a little,but,uh How about now? Nada.
Try to get closer to them.
If he was any closer,he'd be in the car.
I get your little act,Pedro.
Hit the brakes, let the rich guy pay for damage you don't intend to fix.
Just give the man some money so we can leave.
Congratulations.
He was there I think Tuxhorn was in the car.
- So did we get it or not? - Nope.
Nothing.
Can I help you? So how did you find me? I never lost you.
The,uh,the new nose threw me a bit,but What do you want,Don? I got customers.
Look,back in the days,when you worked with the Company Well,for the Company.
I did economic forecasts of their operations.
I mean,I wasn't one of the guys But you had access.
Come on the last time I helped you, the only thing I got out of it was plastic surgery and a $100,000 pay cut.
You know,so either you buy one of these exceptional family cars, with above average gas mileage, or you leave me the hell alone.
I know about Scylla.
And I'm going after it.
You know,I knew you were crazy.
I didn't know you were stupid,too.
Well,let's just say I was able to get my hands on it.
It's my understanding that Scylla could only be used if it's plugged into a decoder box that's hidden in one of the Company facilities.
Am I right? You know,I wish I could help, but I can't.
No,you are helping,Jasper.
Just a matter of whether you do it before or after I shame you in front of your coworkers here.
Tell me where the Company keeps the box,Jasper.
Could be anywhere,I don't know.
Somebody does.
Right? Somebody that you might have access to.
You know,if you go down this road, your government job won't protect you.
Then I better not get caught,right? If I don't find something to eat soon, I don't know what I'm gonna do.
We're not gonna make it.
No,we got to we got to just keep talking,Sancho.
Keep our brains focused on something other than our empty bellies and our dry mouths,okay? Come on.
Let's start with,uh,your-your favorite color.
Hell you doing?! I'm hungry,Teddy.
Why should the both of us die out here when one of us could help the other one survive? You don't want to do this.
Please.
I'll make it quick.
I promise! Sancho.
Sancho! Why'd you have to go and do something so So Tuxhorn doesn't keep the card on him.
It must be in there.
Look,there's no way we're getting in that house without being seen.
I know.
Well,if the card's in there,how we gonna copy it? We're not.
She's gonna do it for us.
Hey.
Hey.
What you reading? "There is no fighting her.
"No power can fight her.
All that avails is flight.
" That's Homer.
That's from The Odyssey.
- Is this from my father's folder? - Yeah.
And it explains why Scylla sounded so familiar.
If I'm not mistaken,it's from that chapter in the book where Odysseus is told he has to confront a monster known as Scylla.
Wonder why he wrote this down.
I could be wrong,but I believe Odysseus is told that in order to continue on his path,to pass Scylla, it'll require the sacrifice of six of his men.
His only other alternative is to abandon his path.
And he chooses to make the sacrifice.
Well,that's a hell of a choice.
One I'm not sure I'm comfortable making.
Sara,um,about tomorrow the plan, the housekeeper If you're not up to it No,no,I am.
Tell me, is Claudia Mauricio a good roommate? A good person? I hope she feels the same about you.
Oh,Shelby,you wouldn't believe the traffic on the You'll want to be quiet now, Claudia.
There are levels of clearance at the Department of Corrections that are simply not available, even for friends as connected as mine.
So,listen carefully, if you even remotely value your friend's life.
You're going to use your security code to access the records for prisoner transfers and tell me where they sent Michael Scofield Can I take that for you? Thanks.
Sure.
That's a great bag.
Can I ask you where you got it? It was a gift from my boss, so I don't really know,sorry.
- Sure.
- Thanks.
There you go.
I,uh I can never find a good bag.
I'm a teacher,and I have books and grading materials and I should probably go ahead and just invest in a wagon one of these days.
Yeah,that's why I love this bag.
It has so many pockets.
Do you mind if I take a look? Oh,no.
Thanks.
You all right,mister? Yeah,my damn truck blew a gasket a few miles back.
I've been,uh,hoofing it ever since.
Where you headed? San Diego.
Hell,we can give you a ride,if you'd like.
Hey,what's wrong,man? Eat some bad Mexican? Something like that.
Same as yesterday,right on schedule.
I hope to hell she's still got that thing in her purse.
Tuxhorn residence.
Hello,I'm from the alarm company.
We've been receiving some,uh, strange signals from your property.
We'd like you to check the windows,please.
Make sure all the contacts are still active.
All the windows? Yes,ma'am.
Every room in the house.
Okay,hold on.
Does she still have the bag? Yeah.
She's got it.
I'm picking up all kinds of gak from the house,man.
Small stuff,maybe a digital camera,an MP3 player.
Nothing of the size of what we're looking for,though.
Keep her moving.
So far,so good,ma'am.
Uh,please move on to the next room.
How we doing? Still don't got it.
If the card's in there, it'd be in some kind of a safe.
Office.
Ma'am,our system is showing that the malfunction is coming from a room that's designated as,uh,an office or a den.
You mean the library? Mister doesn't like me going in there.
Well,I think he'd like it even less if you went home without properly setting the alarm first,don't you think? All right,I'll check.
We got something.
The card? Oh,yeah.
File's so big it can't be anything else.
Now you just gotta keep her there for two minutes while it finishes the burn.
Stall her,we need two minutes.
Ma'am,I think we found the source of our problem if you could just stay at that particular window and hold it closed while we reset the system,that should do it.
Talk to me,Roland.
It's almost there,almost,almost.
Come on,come on,come on,come on.
Come on.
- Got it.
- Got it.
All right,ma'am,thank you so much for your help.
All we need to do now,man,is just Whoa,whoa,whoa,whoa,she's heading back inside.
- What for? - I don't know.
Oh,no.
No,we're good.
She's out.
Hey! Hey! Hey,stop it! Wait here.
I actually had to slow down - not to catch you.
- I think I pulled a groin.
It's not in the bag.
- It's not here.
- How could it not be in here? The device,it's not here give me it.
Son of a bitch.
Twenty six Twenty seven Go ahead.
Before Burrows and Scofield were allegedlly transferred to Arlington,someone posted their bail.
I need to know who.
I'm showing a Bruce Bennett, former aid to Governor Frank Tancredi.
You think it fell out? We looked everywhere.
You think we got the thing copied? Like I said,I can't read the content without downloading the device,but unless this Tuxhorn's got,like,a 50,000-hour Tivo, then,yeah,I think we got it.
Doesn't matter if we got it if we can't find it.
Where the hell is it? It's still inside the house.
That's why the maid went back inside.
She must have found it, assumed it belonged to her boss, and then she left it behind.
Well,then guess what,fellas,it's game over.
You know how many months it took me to make that thing,Michael? What,you just think I can whip up another one in a couple seconds? Losing it is not the problem.
If they find it,that's the problem.
If they find out someone was after that card,we're done.
What do you mean,done? What does that mean? Does that mean we're gonna go back to prison? Are they gonna kill us? - What the hell does that mean? - Shut up! Maybe if we had a few days,we could figure out a way to pull this off,but I gather we don't have that kind of time.
Yeah,you gather right.
Look,if you want us to get that device out of there,you gotta throw us a bone, give us some extra help.
What you're asking for requires involving additional people, which,given the covert nature of this operation, I can not do.
Then you're asking for the impossible.
No,what I'm asking for is competence,okay? I'm not the one who put the entire mission in the hands of a damn maid.
Look,if the Company finds that copy of Scylla before we do, that's it,Michael,that's ball game.
They're gonna find out who was behind it, and they're going to ghost us.
All of us.
Are you okay? Yeah.
I'm fine.
Look,I didn't choose you to do this because I had you in custody.
I chose you to do this because I believed you could pull it off.
Yeah,well,a lot of people have believed in me in the last few months,Agent Self.
Not all of them are alive today.
Can you get me back the device or not? All right,this is what we got.
The housekeeper saw the device as she was leaving the house.
Then she disappears back inside for 15 seconds.
So,we know,wherever it is, it's somewhere close to the door.
So,15 seconds, that's all we have to buy ourselves.
Listen,I'm not sure how close we're gonna get to this house,let alone inside of it, but let's say that we do.
The alarm they got installed in this house is triggered contact in any door or window.
Which would immediately send the private security guards with their 47 guns rushing into the property.
And after 30 seconds,the alarm company will dispatch vehicles to the property.
Three to four,depending on availability.
After confirmation of a break in, they'll dispatch additional vehicles to seal off any and all exits from the property.
I don't know about this,Michael.
It's getting pretty clear why they hired a bunch of cons to do this job.
It's not because they wanted it off the books.
It's because we're expendable.
Who's gonna care if a bunch of crooks wind up dead? It's suicide.
I'm gonna keep looking and see what I can find.
That quote from The Odyssey.
What about it? I can't shake that line.
"All that avails is flight.
" What if flight is our only option,Linc? What if our father after everything he discovered about the Company what what if that's what he finally realized? You know,the one thing I remember most about Dad was the back of his head.
Always walking out the front door.
Always running from something.
Mom,us,himself.
But the one thing he never ran away from was his belief that the Company needed to be taken down.
And we got an opportunity to do that.
Then this is our fight,not theirs.
Man,this this ain't Fox River.
These guys chose to be here.
Remember that.
They got a choice.
Ready? Go.
Go.
Come on,let's go.
Where's it coming from? It's across the street.
Come on.
Go.
Just something across the street.
We got a team checking it out now.
You can go back inside,sir.
Must be out of town.
Daddy,is everything okay? Alex Thanks,Jim.
Alex! Let's go.
Go! Don't turn around, unless you'd like to experience a great deal of pain over an even greater length of time.
You know,just take whatever you want here.
The only thing I want from you, Bruce,is the answer to a simple question.
Where are Michael Scofield and Lincoln Burrows? I only know what-what I read in the papers and Three days ago, there were 105 inmates in the supermax wing of the U.
S.
penitentiary in Livingston,Texas, where the brothers were allegedly sent.
There are still 105 inmates there, and no one has been released during that time.
Someone is playing a shell game,Bruce.
I'm just trying to find out who.
I have no criminal jurisdiction over I know you bailed them out.
I know you've been in contact with Sara Tancredi.
I swear to you,I-I have no idea where they are.
I guess we'll see about that.
Good luck,Teddy.
Who needs luck when you got friends like you fellas,huh? Hey,you mind if I take this old newspaper of yours with me? No problem.
Sorry to hear about your friend,dude.
It's all right.
He had a full life.
Later,Teddy.
There you go.
Did you get it? Let's make sure we got what we wanted.
Linc.
Don't let that thing out of your sight.
All right.
We're halfway there.
All we got to do is that little B and E,and-- we're out of here.
Reminds me,I need to get ahold of Self, see when we can get started.
So what are you gonna do when all this is over? That's a good question.
Brother,whatever this Scylla thing is, it is a monster of a code.
Sara,I was gonna come down here and ask if you wanted to talk some more about what happened in Panama, but,um,I think I already know what you're gonna say.
How's that? Because you're a little like me.
Because you're gonna say you're fine,that you can handle it.
I'll just leave it at this.
I'm here.
Whenever you want to talk, I'm here.
Thank you.
You know that the only thing that kept me alive when I was being held was the thought of being with you.
But I also knew that if anything happened to me, you were gonna blame yourself,and you would spend the rest of your life punishing yourself for it, I can't bear the thought of that.
So can we make a deal right now that we're even, and just wipe the slate clean and no guilt and no responsibility? If we're gonna be together, I don't want it to be out of a sense of obligation.
Or-or even that we should be, because of what we've been through.
I I just want to start over.
Start over.
Okay.
But,uh,does that mean I have to divorce my wife? Because you're still married to a Russian stripper.
I've been a little busy, I'm pretty sure she was Czech.
Michael.
What's wrong? Whatever it is,it ain't it.
I don't understand.
I thought you said we copied the card.
No,we did.
But according to the encryption code Okay,how do I make this clear? If Scylla was like a pizza,all we got's a slice.
So where's the rest of the data? I don't know.
I don't know.
I mean,I don't know how we didn't see this coming.
I mean,it makes perfect sense.
It's like the nuclear launch codes.
You don't give all that information to just one person.
How many do you give it to? Okay,that quote your father held onto in The Odyssey,Scylla is a six-headed monster that requires a sacrifice of six soldiers in order to pass.
So Scylla isn't one card, it's six.
What does that mean? How we gonna find five more of these things? Michael! Michael! I'm busy.
I don't care what she looks like.
Three tablespoons of water, one of honey.
Nothing more.
If she knows something about anything that's going on, I'm going to find it.
Rise and shine,bitch.
Breakfast.
Michael? Michael! You all right? I'm fine.
All this security makes you wonder what the Company's hiding.
Only way to know for sure is to find those five other cards, see for ourselves.
Think we'll have enough time? Yeah.
We'll We'll be fine.
