Prison Break

‫My name is Michael Scofield.

‫My brother is facing ‫the electric chair,

‫framed for a crime ‫he didn't commit.

‫What is it about this case that ‫the Secret Service is so interested in?

‫The man killed ‫the Vice President's brother.

‫SCOFIELD: After his appeals ‫were exhausted,

‫I knew there was only one way ‫to get him out.

‫(gun firing)

‫OFFICER (on PA system): ‫This is the police.

‫Put down your weapon.

‫Michael?

‫I'm getting you out of here.

‫It's impossible.

‫Not if you designed the place, ‫it isn't.

‫You've seen the blueprints.

‫Better than that.

‫I've got them on me.

‫SCOFIELD: I've been ‫at Fox River nearly a month now.

‫In that time, I've assembled a group ‫that has all the resources

‫we need to not only break out, ‫but to stay out.

‫I'm Michael, by the way.

‫-Dr. Tancredi... ‫-Tancredi like the Governor?

‫SCOFIELD: While we dig ‫on the inside,

‫our lawyer searches ‫for the truth on the outside.

‫(ringing)

‫MAN: I have information ‫that will lead

‫to the exoneration ‫of Lincoln Burrows.

‫Somebody on the inside claims ‫they can exonerate Lincoln.

‫Someone's been talking.

‫Anyone that's a threat ‫is expendable.

‫They're ready for you, ‫Madam Vice President.

‫(gun firing)

‫SCOFIELD: 24 hours from now, ‫my brother is scheduled to die.

‫But the way I see it, ‫24 hours from now,

‫we'll be out of the country.

‫He's there.

‫(clanging)

‫It can't be done.

‫We're not getting out of here.

‫Unfortunately, pretty,

‫that ain't an option.

‫You are gonna ‫get us out of here.

‫Unless you're gonna use ‫your shank

‫to take out the pipe, ‫put it away.

‫I'm gonna put it in your neck, ‫you don't get us out of here.

‫Bring it down a peg, T-Bag.

‫Shut your mouth!

‫Remember, pretty, ‫I am serving life plus one.

‫So if I get busted ‫for attempted escape,

‫I'm gonna throw in a homicide, ‫no problem.

‫That's like ‫a parking ticket to me.

‫(banging)

‫You okay?

‫Felt sick again.

‫Yeah, you took ‫your IV's out.

‫Yeah, I didn't want ‫to throw up on the floor,

‫so I just came ‫to the drain.

‫Just let me walk this off. ‫I'll be fine.

‫Lincoln, there is no reason ‫for you to be here if your IV isn't in.

‫Everything all right in here?

‫It's fine.

‫Why isn't he cuffed ‫to the table?

‫What's he gonna do, ‫steal a cotton ball?

‫Can't have him walking around, Doc. ‫You know that.

‫(keys jingling)

‫What was that?

‫C.O.: Put your wrist out.

‫You gonna turn this ‫into something?

‫I'm not gonna say it again. ‫Put your wrist out.

‫Hey, Keith, ‫come check this out!

‫Keith?

‫We got to go. Now.

‫Give me the rope.

‫Give me the rope now!

‫Tie that off.

‫Let's just stay here, ‫okay?

‫WESTMORELAND: Okay, I'm down.

‫We gotta go, Michael.

‫Get down. Let's go.

‫Did it break off ‫or did someone break it?

‫I don't know.

‫Here's the other half.

‫(theme music playing)

‫Hey, hey.

‫-What's up, Brad? ‫-Heading over to Sharkey's.

‫It's two-for Tuesday. ‫Wanna hoist a few?

‫Man, I'd love to, ‫but my wife is cooking dinner

‫and I told her I'd be home.

‫Wuss. Anybody else?

‫Suit yourselves.

‫(men chattering)

‫Ain't none of the sheetrock ‫in front of the break room been touched.

‫Oh, the PI's are letting it ‫dry out.

‫Still?

‫Westmoreland!

‫WESTMORELAND: ‫I'm caught on something.

‫Come on, come on, ‫come on, come on!

‫(banging on door)

‫Stay there! ‫Stay down there!

‫(clanging)

‫Why was this door locked?

‫It wasn't locked, boss. ‫The, uh, the fan kept pushing it open.

‫So we just had to ‫wedge it, uh, closed.

‫You've been in here all night ‫not doing a damn thing.

‫The room is still wet, boss. ‫There's nothing we could do.

‫It's not like ‫we've been having a picnic.

‫Bunch of shiftless, ‫no-good convicts.

‫You got something to say, ‫Scofield?

‫Wrap it up.

‫And all four of you, get your asses ‫back to the block.

‫Hey!

‫Get these nitwits ‫back to the cell block.

‫You seem to be one light.

‫Right here, boss.

‫No, no. No way!

‫I should be halfway ‫to seeing my family right now!

‫Let's go.

‫Now!

‫C.O.: Keep it moving.

‫Move it.

‫Go, ladies.

‫Do you think he knows?

‫Lincoln?

‫REPORTER: I'm here ‫with Henry Pope,

‫who is the warden ‫of Fox River Penitentiary

‫where Lincoln Burrows ‫is scheduled to die

‫by electrocution ‫at 12:01 a.m. tomorrow.

‫Warden Pope, can you tell me what's ‫gonna happen in the next few hours?

‫There are strict Department ‫of Corrections guidelines

‫that govern every aspect ‫of an execution.

‫Measures taken ‫to make sure

‫that the process goes ‫as smoothly as possible.

‫Such as?

‫The correctional officers ‫will do a walkthrough,

‫we'll review ‫the list of witnesses,

‫the chair will be checked and rechecked ‫to make sure there's no problem.

‫And Mr. Burrows himself. ‫Have you spoken with him?

‫What are his thoughts ‫in these final hours?

‫I'd say that's between him ‫and his God.

‫And maybe the Governor.

‫I understand Burrows' attorneys are ‫going to request a stay.

‫I wish them ‫the best of luck.

‫Does that mean ‫you believe he's innocent?

‫It means...

‫I believe in the process ‫but I--I don't relish the prospect

‫of taking ‫another man's life.

‫Whether it's just or not, there's no joy ‫that lies before us today.

‫Okay, thank you very much, ‫Warden.

‫And we will be here with you ‫throughout the night

‫watching and waiting to see ‫if Lincoln Burrows does in fact become

‫only the 13th person ‫to be executed

‫in the state of Illinois ‫since 1976.

‫(door buzzing)

‫(men chattering)

‫(sighing)

‫Just so you got ‫one less thing to worry about,

‫I want you to know ‫I ain't mad at you.

‫Thank you.

‫How long until...

‫-(watch beeping) ‫-16 hours.

‫Are his lawyers ‫making any progress?

‫Is there still ‫a chance with that?

‫No.

‫There's only one person ‫who can really stop this execution.

‫Hey.

‫I need to see my brother.

‫Just to talk.

‫For five minutes.

‫Yeah. Yeah. I'll try.

‫(sighing) ‫Um...

‫I'm sorry. I'm-- I'm told that you ‫have to wait until final visitation.

‫Would you talk to your father ‫for me, please?

‫Believe me, my father knows where ‫I stand on the death penalty

‫and I'm-- I'm just ‫as clear on his...

‫Sara... ‫Uh, Dr. Tancredi, I'm sorry.

‫Um...

‫This isn't about the morality ‫of the death penalty. This is...

‫This is about killing ‫an innocent man, my brother,

‫and surely your father ‫can't be in favor of that.

‫Just talk to ‫Lincoln's attorneys, just for an hour,

‫and I swear to God ‫you'll be convinced of his innocence.

‫Michael,

‫I would pick up ‫the phone right now

‫if I thought there was ‫any chance that I could make a difference,

‫but you have to understand,

‫I'm the last person in the world ‫that my father listens to.

‫He hates what I do, ‫he hates what I believe in.

‫And if I'm the one ‫asking for clemency for your brother,

‫your brother won't get it.

‫I'm sorry.

‫Look, if Terrence Steadman ‫is still alive, Lyle,

‫then it can't be Terrence Steadman ‫buried in the ground.

‫Yeah, but a secret informant ‫claims that Steadman is still alive?

‫I don't know, Nick. It all sounds ‫pretty far-fetched.

‫You're his clerk, ‫just get us on the docket.

‫Nick, you're asking him ‫to commit political suicide

‫by granting ‫a stay of execution

‫to Illinois' most ‫notorious death row inmate.

‫Officially, all we're asking ‫is for an exhumation order.

‫If he grants it, he can order a stay ‫until the tests come in.
