Trama

Michael's plan to escape has failed. While Lincoln is strapped to the electric chair, he sees an oddly familiar face in the crowd. Is there one last hope to save Lincoln's life, or has his journey reached an end?

The execution of Lincoln is delayed for two weeks because Judge Kessler anonymously receives new evidences about the case, while Lincoln glances to his father in the observation room. Judge Kessler orders the exhumation of the remains of Terrance Steadman based on two different records about a removed appendix. Lincoln asks the name of the man in the room to Warden Pope and he tells that he is the journalist William Prall, from the Headline Press. Michael plots another escape plan through the asylum using the blueprint tattooed on his body. He borrows a guard's uniform from Sucre's cousin that works in the laundry to check his plan, but he burns his body on the steam piping; after a medical intervention, Michael finds that the part of the map with the escape route through the asylum is missing on his burnt back.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

With his execution just moments away and strapped to the chair, Lincoln spots a familiar face. He attempts to communicate with Michael, who is seated in the viewing room. He wants Michael turn around and look at the man sitting behind him but Michael misses Linc's signal. The execution is surprisingly delayed by the judge, and Lincoln's life has been momentarily spared because the judge ordered the exhumation of the body of Terrance Steadman, the Vice President's brother. Someone dropped off medical records showing a discrepancy--Steadman had a healthy appendix, but the autopsy showed it had been removed. The execution will be delayed for two weeks while the body is exhumed. Lincoln asks the Warden who the man in the viewing room was, and the Warden tells him that he was a member of the press named William Prall. Linc recalls that as a child his father took him to baseball games, and his dad's favorite player was named, "Prall." With the execution delayed, Michael reformulates his escape plan. He plans to use the pipes in the psych ward to reach the infirmary, but his fellow escapees think he's nuts. Proceeding with his secondary, and more difficult plan, Michael borrows a guard's uniform from Sucre's cousin, Manche, who works in the laundry. While returning from the psych ward, Michael nearly gets caught by a guard and accidentally presses his back against some steaming hot pipes as he hides. Michael's back is badly burned, as is the borrowed guard's uniform. Safe back in his cell, Sucre rips the burned uniform from Michael's back, and he passes out form the intense pain. Upon awakening in the infirmary, Dr. Tancredi questions him about how his back got burned but Michael is unable to give her any satisfactory answers. Dr. Tancredi confides to Nurse Katie that she found a fiber from a guard's uniform embedded in Michael's burns. In the meantime, Agents Paul Kellerman and Samantha Brinker view the footage from a security camera outside the judge's office. They see the reflection in the door and know that Michael and Lincoln's father dropped off the autopsy report that delayed the execution. Returned to his cell from the infirmary, Michael grabs a mirror and sees that part of the map of the psych ward has been seared off his back. The escape path through the psych ward is now incomplete.—Anonymous
