[edit] Summary
Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) is in Panama aboard his yacht, the Christina Rose. A local boy (Chaco) attempts to sell weed and mushrooms, but Michael dismisses him. He is then contacted on satellite phone by Alexander Mahone (William Fichtner). Mahone promises his brother's life in exchange for the boat and Charles Westmoreland's money. Michael fears that it will end up bad, because of what happened to Abruzzi, Tweener, and Haywire, but agrees, and begins sailing to the meeting point. On his way he calls Sarah to leave her a goodbye message.
After talking to Michael, Mahone calls William Kim, telling him that he will have the brothers soon and he should come to Panama as soon as possible.
In Chicago, Illinois, former Secret Service agent Paul Kellerman (Paul Adelstein) testifies at Sara Tancredi's trial. He explains that he framed Lincoln Burrows on the order of former US Vice President Caroline Reynolds. Based on this, the prosecution agrees to drop all charges, and charge Kellerman. The judge (Sheldan Keay) tells Kellerman to take a good look at the outside world he will not be seeing it for a while. Outside the courtroom, a journalist states that Lincoln Burrows has been exonerated from all charges. Sara decides to go to Panama to tell Michael and Lincoln.
William Kim meets the Pad Man in a limousine. The name "Sona" is brought up again and Pad Man's final message to Kim is "Just one is needed".
In the warehouse, Mahone calls his estranged wife Pam and attempts to reconcile the relationship. At the same time Lincoln starts to unscrew the pipe holding one of his handcuffs.
In a Panama City Hospital, Fernando Sucre (Amaury Nolasco) is thinking about Maricruz Delgado. He leaves the hospital against medical advice and calls the US Embassy, looking for Brad Bellick (Wade Williams). Bellick is in a jail cell screaming for a lawyer. He meets T-Bag and the two squabble viciously. Bellick is taken from his cell and led away in handcuffs.
Outside, Sucre spots Bellick being taken away. He screams at Bellick, asking where Maricruz is hidden. Bellick tells him he'll help if he can get him out of jail. Sucre collapses on the pavement as Bellick is driven away. His fate is unknown.
Chaco takes Michael to see a local drug dealer and his entourage, aboard a docked boat. It is unknown what Michael wants.
Michael docks his boat by the warehouse that Mahone is in, hiding the money before he enters. As Michael enters Mahone calls the police and tells them "a well dressed Asian man has been murdered by two American men". The two squabble over the money as Agent Kim arrives. Mahone turns the gun on Kim, before Kim's bodyguards emerge. The ensuing gunfight allows Lincoln to finish unscrewing the pipe he's handcuffed to and escape. After shooting several of Kim's men, Mahone also escapes.
Back in Chicago, Kellerman is being transported to jail. On the way there is a problem with the engine of the van and they stop under a bridge. Masked men emerge and fire several shots into the back, leaving Kellerman's fate unknown.
At the Gatun Lake Panama Canal crossing, Mahone is stopped by police. They claim that the boat has been flagged for illegal activity. The police board the boat and find a large amount of cocaine. Mahone is taken away.
Lincoln and Michael walk through a rough forest track and find Chaco. He takes them to a dock with a small boat. Sara emerges from the boat and tells Lincoln and Michael about the exoneration. She tells Michael that under the circumstances he will probably not do any time for his crimes. Sara heads inside to get a drink, moments later Kim emerges and tells the pair the police are on the way. Lincoln offers him the money, which he kicks into the water. He then states that he only needs one of them. He then goes to shoot as Sara emerges with a gun shooting him in the chest.
The police begin to arrive and the trio run. Lincoln is split up from Michael and Sara, and as they run through the forest, Lincoln finds himself hiding in an old ship yard.
Sara and Michael find an abandoned shack but the police quickly surround it. Michael attempts to calm Sara. He tells her they still have their date coming up, and that they will simply explain their story and the police will let them go. They hug, share a kiss and say "I love you" to each other.
They leave the shack together, but Michael appears to take Sara hostage. He leaves Sara, throws the gun to the ground, and tells the police that he is responsible for the death. Sara screams that he did nothing, but they take Michael away into custody.
Lincoln searches for Sara at the police station. She's been released and as he walks out he sees the back of her head disappear into a crowd of people. Someone appears to be following her.
Back in Jail, T-Bag seems relieved when a man from "The Company" meets with him. T-Bag tells the man that since they have Scofield now, the deal they agreed upon stipulates that he should be free by now. The man replies that since he got caught he could do nothing for him, he then leaves.
At night, Michael and Mahone are taken from a Panamanian police transport, in shackles.
On Long Island, New York at the fictional Basil Island Research Facility, the Pad Man stands in a white, sterile area. He is informed that Scofield has been captured, and is warned that he will eventually break out, adding that "it's in his blood." The General replies "that's exactly what we want him to do".
Michael finds himself in the Panamanian prison "Penitenciaría Federal de Sona", or in English - Sona Federal Penitentiary. As he walks down the corridor, other inmates pursue Michael with their eyes. At the end of the passage, a battered Bellick lies on the floor.[1] Bellick appears to have been raped as he lies unclothed next to a fellow prisoner, standing above him. Michael steps through another doorway back outside and into the rain, approaching a blinding light as the season closes.

The season finale on its original airdate received one of the lowest audience in the series' history, obtaining an average of 8.01 million viewers, dropping from the previous episode's 8.24 million viewers. This was a decrease of 2.23 million viewers from the first season finale, which attained 10.24 million viewers. Overall, the episode achieved 5% household rating and 8% household share. However, this could have been due to the NCAA Men's Basketball Final that aired on the same night.[2]
