Prison Break 4X11: Quiet Riot
🕑 Added 2025-07-15 18:00:11 +0000 UTCI was so incredibly tense during this episode. It's been a while. I love this season, and it's my favorite, but it's been a long time since I was so stressed during an episode. And I was so pissed that we ended it where we did!
So we're busy trying to steal Scylla even though we still don't have the sixth card. Gretchen does try to steal it from the general, but he realizes what she's trying to do and pulls a gun on her (he didn't even bring the card so the whole ruse was moot anyway). He promises to kill her if he sees her again and leaves.
She doesn't seem all the broken up about it though. One of the Chinese guys bursts into Cole's office demanding Scylla. Gretchen explains that they've had some issues, but with his help, they can retrieve it. The FBI assistant (who Pocket Boy is on to) calls Self to tell him that Gretchen and T Bag are on their way to some house. They head over, ready to bust them, but when they get inside, they realize it was a trap and the two set them up. They are accosted by a bunch of gang members (? close enough) and restrained.
While all this is going on, we're trying to do some last minute planning to steal Scylla. Michael is not happy as he's got to go to the hospital to have the surgery, but the plans not finished. And, when it finally is, he still refuses to go. He can't fathom the thought of everyone else getting caught or killed, while he gets off free, because he was in the hospital.
So, they all head over to Scylla. And because of the insane security for this thing, they can't talk, touch the floor, let their body heat creep into the room. Somehow or other, they devise a crazy system to break through a concrete wall. Then they deploy umbrella to make sure they catch the debris. Sucre then builds a ladder to suspend them across the floor (while periodically releasing liquid nitrogen to cool the room). Michael then swaps places with him (oh, Sara injected him with some anti seizure medicine beforehand in hopes that it would keep him steady- only sort of worked) and gets over to the glass wall. He cuts out a hole and manages to get himself over to Scylla. However, as soon as he approaches the device, an alarm is triggered and the general knows immediately.
It does not seem as though Michael knows about the alarm. And we don't know if the rest of the crew does either. Because they can't say anything, they can't shout over to Michael (what if it wasn't actually an alarm and they just outed themselves). But, the general and a bunch of other security guys hop in the elevator and head down to the rom where Scylla is. And that's where they fucking end it.
You guys. I know I've said this before, but I cannot fathom a way for them to get out of this. Even if we're successful and leave with Scylla, T Bag and Gretchen are waiting in Cole's office to steal it from them. Plus, we don't have the sixth card. Self and FBI girl have basically been kidnapped. Michael is half dying. Where the hell do we go from here?
