Prison Break
Episode 4.05: Safe and Sound
Aired: September 22, 2008
Recap
Thanks to David G. for his recap:
Last time on Prison Break, the gang went out to grab information from yet another computer card from the company, and in the meantime, T-Bag showed up in LA to pursue his dream of becoming an actor. The brothers and Mahone dressed up as policemen, and got the second card. In the last second of the episode, Wyatt is shown following Sara.
This episode started off right after last week left off. Wyatt was still following Sara, but after a quck check of her purse, she noticed Bruce’s card was missing. With a quick turn around, she noticed her pursuer. So Sara began running, didn’t look both ways before crossing the street, so she almost got hit by five different cars. All is good though, because she got away.
Back at headquarters, Don takes a quick look at the photographs of the card holders, and notices a familiar face. The head of the U.S. Treasury building, Griffin. So their plan is to get to him, and get the card. Bellick and Sucre decide that their next step is to find T-Bag, because he has the book they need.
Next we see Mahone meeting his ex-wife, Pam, at a diner. No, they aren’t getting together to eat pancakes, Mahone was there to have his ex identify Wyatt. She points him out, and Mahone starts busting out crying, but its okay, Pam still loved him enough to give him a pat on the back, telling him everything will be just fine.
Still kicking back at Gate Co., T-Bag found some more clues to his mysterious bird book. Apparently if you spill a little hot tea on the book, something hidden appears on the pages.
So Don made it to the Treasury building, and met up with Griffin, who was not very happy to see him. Self made a false threat to buy time, but back at the warehouse, they weren’t getting any signal. But when Giffin opened his “crazy” safe, as Don put it, they realized that the safe held the computer card they needed. So the gang told him to get some blue prints, so they can figure out a plan.
Finally, Sara made it back to headquarters, and told the gang about the big scary guy that was following her. Mahone shoved a picture of Wyatt in her face, to which she confirmed it was in fact the same man who killed his son. Speaking about Wyatt, he made a little visit to see Gretchen, who was in terrible shape. He wanted to know why the team was in Los Angeles, as if she’d know.
At Gate Corporation, Bellick and Sucre miraculously found the right building where T-Bag was at, but the secretary didn’t give him up. Soon after, Sucre andBellick left when Michael phoned them, telling them that a plan has been set into motion, and he needed them. The secretary walked into T-Bag’s office, and they made a deal. She would get 3% of his commision from now on. Later on in the episode, a man came to visit T-Bag asking for Scylla, and if he doesn’t hand it over in three days, he is a gonner.
And indeed the plan was on. Don got the boys into the building, and set them on their way, but it was up to them from that point forward. Sucre set up the elevator so it went straight to the floor they needed, with no interuption. Next to Griffin’s room was another man’s office. Don took that man out to lunch so the boys could get to work. Michael and Lincoln jumped into an air duct and Lincoln noticed his brother’s nosebleeds for the first time, and asked how long it’s been happening. Michael shrugs it off, but Lincoln said something about nosebleeds being a big deal when he was 13 years old…
Sucre and Bellick acted as janitors cleaning up a mess on the floor to distract the secretary from seeing what was happening on the inside. Mike and Linc were making a huge hole in the wall to get to the computer card on the other side. All goes well until the Head of the Company waltzed into Griffin’s room to have a chat with him. It seemed he wanted Griffin’s card, so Michael quickly got the card out, and Roland immediatley started the download. Though I have to say, the download speed for this card was incredibly slow, perhaps dial-up? But Mike got the information of the card JUST in time, and they all left. [Quick question, when Michael got the card, why didn't they all just bolt with the card?]
We have a new name for the Head of the Company, it appears he is called “The General.” Sara told Michael that she overheard Gretchen say his name once when she was held captive. SPEAKING of Gretchen, she pulled a Michael Scofield and escaped from her own prison. At the very end of the episode, The General was told that an agent named Don Self has been looking into him. So now The General knows about Don Self….I wonder what terrible things are going to happen to Don… I guess we’ll find out next week!
have you seen wentworth in one of his latest interviews saying that the show is a hit overseas? So they know ppl love it i dont think its a good idea to cut it.
The downloading count is at 10,000..each week..People download it to avoid commercials that makes you lose the exciting parts..try downloading a new espisode..its more fun to watch the exciting parts right away then wait for commercials to be over…commercials are 15minutes per episode and the show is 45min
Why would downloads count? there’s no commercials in the download links so it’s pointless, & One tree hill airs on CW, 3 millions is good for them, but Fox is a huge network, they need 10 mill at least
Mat Olmstead on Spoiler TV has said that they could face the axe due to the low raitings. I felt that season 3 overall was rather poor that is probably a reason why so many have dropped off. I also think many people thought that bringing back Sara was a wrong move although many other people thought it was a good move, how can a person have their head cut off[ or so we thought] and come back alive and well the next season. As we will find out there was another young lady who was a prisoner. Season 4 I reckon is really good, much better than season 3. I believe a lot of people download it. To all you American’s who download the show, please watch it on TV instead, we want the ratings to improve
^^ I absolutely loved Safe and Sound. I mean, I was watching it, sitting on the floor, in the dark (nothing makes a movie/tv show more scary/tense) and I swear I was practically leaning forward and screaming at the tv during the part where he`s about to open the safe and they are still getting the card info. You know an episode is good when you start yelling at the tv to hurry up. my mum even came down and told me to ‘stop act like a lunatic, it`s just a show’ ^_^;
btw, the ratings were higher than 5.8 – i saw a figure that said 6.something million.
yay!
Nice episode . It’s PB on his best when the brothers following a plan.
Hope they will stay on in this style .
Fortunatly ratings don’t drop down again this week ( http://www.quotenmeter.de). Keep watching Amaricans to save our most loved show.
fantastic episode..and again..nice recap
i think linc looked cool chewing a gum lol although i hated men chewing gum but he was different
Thats not bad for ratings, I mean yes it’s down from their first season but it still beat out big shots like One Tree Hill which only had 3 million.
So PB is still doing alright.
I love when Linc is the older protective brother!
and what about the thousands of people downloading the show? they should include that too. in eztv the downloads for PB go to as high as 390,000 per episode.
is 5.9 million too little? what about international fans? are they included?
I think it was 5.9 million Sierra, a bit better than last week which was 5.8 right?
why would they stop filming i think prison break is great
anyone know where we can find the ratings for last night’s episode?
This is great!
Thanks Nikki and David whoever you are.
I almost missed this episode because it came on super early here because of Heroes!
It would have been the first one I would’ve ever missed!
NIKKI, you found me on twitter! :D
Safe and sound… The card is in the SAFE and they make SOUND. I.E. Michael removing the air filter from the vacuum….brilliant. Without the air filter, the vacuum is twice as loud. I thought it was interesting that Michael was trying to eavesdrop on the general and the head of the treasury department. I think he knew that he was listening to someone important to the company, the leader. It was interesting because the General knows all about Michael and Lincoln, yet Michael knows nothing of the General. That was Michaels first time being that close to the man who arranged everything for Terrance Steadman and Caroline Reynolds so that she could move into office, consequently creating the conspiracy surrounding Lincoln’s false inprisonment and therefore forcing Michael to break him out. He knew that it was the Leader he was listening to when Sara pointed out the ‘ghost’ that Roland pulled up on his computer.
I can’t wait Til Next week!!!
THE BEST EPISODE OF SEASON 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PRISON BREAK 4 EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nice thought yeah there is a chance of that
and am almost sure that they wont take the company down this easy
and guys i the general visiting the card holder is not usual thing
i mean these guy cant be seen in pulblic they r always behind the curtains
so that was kind of losse and may be the general after all is not the boss of the comp
!!!!! ehst do u think and NIKKI how about the views this week did it go up or still going down
if it kept like that til the next 3 or 4 episodes they will stop filming :( ?????
thanks
