Michael è costretto ad accettare la proposta di Mahone e gli dice che lo raggiungerà entro 24 ore. Subito dopo l'agente contatta Mr. Kim in modo da consegnare i due fratelli alla Compagnia e venire meno, dunque, al suo patto. Kellerman testimonia in favore di Sara e spiega alla corte l'intera cospirazione che ha coinvolto l'ex-Presidente Reynolds: tutte le accuse contro Sara vengono fatte cadere mentre lo stesso Kellerman viene indagato. Michael dopo aver fermato Chaco, il ragazzo che in precedenza gli aveva offerto della droga, lascia un messaggio nella segreteria di Sara la quale, dopo averlo ascoltato, decide di partire immediatamente per Panama. Mr. Kim si incontra con Pad Man e gli dice presto cattureranno i due fratelli; Pad Man gli ricorda di Sona e gli dice che a loro "serve soltanto uno" (dei fratelli, evidentemente). Mentre Mahone telefona a Pam e le dice di raggiungerlo presto a Cartagena, in Colombia, Sucre, ricoverato in ospedale, nonostante la ferita al petto, decide di lasciarlo per trovare Bellick il quale nel frattempo è stato rinchiuso in un carcere dove poco dopo viene condotto anche T-Bag. Chaco presenta Michael a un trafficante di droga al quale offre del denaro. Sucre raggiunge il carcere dove è tenuto Bellick e mentre l'uomo sta per essere trasferito gli chiede dove si trova Maricruz; l'ex-secondino gli urla che dovrà prima trovare un modo per liberarlo e Sucre collassa in mezzo la strada. Michael raggiunge il luogo indicatogli da Mahone ma l'ex-agente chiama la polizia affermando che un uomo asiatico, corrispondente quindi a Mr. Kim, è stato appena ucciso da due americani. Mr. Kim raggiunge il posto e inizia una sparatoia: i due fratelli riescono a fuggire con i 5 milioni di dollari, così come Mahone che si impossessa della Christina Rose. Kellerman sta per essere trasferito in un'altra prigione e lungo il percorso viene inscenata una sosta durante la quale viene apparentemente ucciso da alcuni uomini della Compagnia. Nella barca utilizzata da Mahone la polizia panamense trova una grossa quantità di cocaina e l'uomo viene immediatamente arrestato. Michael e Linc, intanto, raggiungono la piccola imbarcazione che Chico è riuscito ad acquistare: ad attendere i due c'è anche Sara che comunica loro che Linc è ufficialmente un uomo libero. Poco dopo vengono raggiunti però da Mr. Kim che ha intenzione di uccidere Linc; interviene Sara che spara all'uomo uccidendolo. Sopraggiunge immediatamente la polizia e Michael, Sara e Linc sono dunque costrettti a fuggire. Mentre quest'ultimo riesce a fuggire, Michael e Sara si nascondono presso un casolare che viene presto circondato dalle forze dell'ordine. Michael, per non far arrestare Sara, si costituisce dichiarando di essere il solo colpevole. Mahone chiama la moglie dal carcere e le dice di non raggiungerlo e anzi di dimenticare che sia mai esistito. Linc raggiunge il commissariato dove è stata portata Sara ma non riesce a fermarla mentre viene rilasciata; la donna viene seguita da un uomo. T-Bag riceve in carcere la visita di un uomo della Compagnia che gli dice che è venuto meno al loro patto e che pertanto non verrà rilasciato. Michael e Mahone vengono condotti a Sona, un carcere del tutto privo di regole, dove sono assenti anche le guardie e dove è stato portato in precedenza anche Bellick, mostrato in condizioni pietose. A Long Island, intanto, Pad Man discute con un uomo di Michael presso un misterioso centro militare.

Quotes
Reporter: Larger unexpected fireworks at the trial of Dr. Sara Tancredi in Chicago today. New testimony has implicated that former president Reynolds was complicit in the falsification of her brother Terrance Steadman's death. The fallout from all this, the purported killer, Lincoln Burrows, who has led the country on a nationwide manhunt, will be exonerated of all charges effective immediately.

Lincoln: You know I'm innocent.
Mahone: Yeah, probably.
Lincoln: Yet, you don't care.
Mahone: I don't care about anything other than getting my life back, no.

Mahone: Michael, that's a beautiful boat.
Michael: Just promise me you'll change the name when you take it. I don't think my mother would have approved of you.

Michael: We did it.
Kim: No, you almost did it.

Mahone: This is as far as I go.
Bill Kim: Or is it something else? Another reason we're all here. Like that, like a double-cross.
Mahone: Yeah, just like that. Say goodbye.

Lincoln: You want the money? Take it.
Kim: You think this is about the money? Pocket change. 5 million.
Michael: Then what is it about, my brother has been exonerated, the President stepped down, we're not a threat anymore, it's over.
Kim: You may be done with us. But that doesn't mean that we may be done with you. That is what it looks like.

Bellick: You know, Bagwell, out of all the guys, all eight of you, you were the guy I was hoping would go down in a blaze of gunfire.

Mahone: Did you buy the tickets yet?
Pam: No, I'm still looking.
Mahone: Don't...
Pam: What?
Mahone: Forget about them. Forget I ever existed.

Sucre: Bellick! Where's Maricruz!
Bellick: You wanna know where she is? Get me outta this!

Chaco: She's very pretty.
Michael: She'll get us where we need to go, right?
Chaco: Not the boat, Señor.

DeJesus: You just gave me a hundred thousand reasons... to turn you in.
Michael: That's true. I guess I'll just have to give you a few more not to.

Bellick: You're busted.
T-Bag: Am I?
Bellick: Where's the money?
T-Bag: Pretty Boy's got it. Out there with a Royal Flush. And you're in here with a busted straight. Hardly seems right, does it?
Bellick: Your hand don't look much better.
T-Bag: Maybe I got an Ace up my sleeve.
Bellick: You know something I don't?
T-Bag: You should rest your leg, Boss.

Aide: Scofield back in the pen. Gotta be honest, didn't think we'd see it happen. You know he's going to break out. It's in his blood.
Pad Man: That's exactly what we want him to do.

Michael: Don't move! I'll shoot!
Sara: Michael, what are you doing?
Michael: Nobody moves! Nobody!
Panamanian police officer: !Tiene un rehén! !tiene un rehén!
Michael: You sacrificed everything for me once... No, don't move!
Sara: No, I'm not gonna let you do this... Michael, Michael!
Michael: Now it's time to say thank you.
Michael: It was me! It was me!
Sara: He's done nothing wrong!
Michael: I did it! I did it! It was me!

Paul Kellerman: What I'm about to divulge to you will in all likelihood get me killed. Actually, I guarantee it.
Defence Lawyer: Then why are you doing it?
Paul Kellerman: Because this was supposed to be about country, about loyalty, about what's right, but it wasn't because I wronge (...) Those orders were given by Caroline Reynolds who was Vice President at the time. Acting on those orders, I planted evidence, I procured a body, I lured Lincoln Burrows into that parking garage that evening under the auspices of a different hit. From the ground up, we framed him. See, Lincoln Burrows gets executed, people forget about Terrence Steadman, the controversy surrounding him and the presidency and nobody ever knows about... "The Company".
Prosecutor: Ah yes, which is a shadowy cabal of corporations that pretty much influence everything that happens in this country. But I fail to see how any of this is relevant to Sara Tancredi and the fact that she aided and abetted, that she jumped bail...
Paul Kellerman: She did so because she feared for her life - which was appropriate – as I had orders to kill her.
[...]
Judge: It's all here. Everything Mr. Kellerman said is corroborated in these documents. In light of this evidence, my question, I guess to you is whether your time and resources are best spent in pursuing charges against Dr. Tancredi.
Prosecutor: No. My office will drop all charges, effective immediately. But, Your Honor, I would like to devote my time and attention in prosecuting this man, Mr. Kellerman.
Judge: Officer...
Sara (a Kellerman): I-I literally don't even know what to say to you.
Paul Kellerman: It was good knowing you, Sara.

Transport Guard: Once seated, your four-piece will be mounted to the floor mount. During transport, do not speak to either...
Paul Kellerman: I know the drill.
Driver: Get in.
Transport Guard: So, what do we got, 30 minutes?
Driver: Yeah, something like that.
Transport Guard: Why didn't you take the freeway?
Driver: Rush hour... Aw, hell.
Transport Guard: What?

Driver: The engine light just came on.
Transport Guard: It just got serviced at motor pool.
Driver: Yeah, we better pull over just to make sure. Alright, I'll check it out.
Paul Kellerman: In the French resistance it was considered a high honor to face a Nazi firing squad.
Transport Guard: I thought I told you to be quiet.
Paul Kellerman: Meant you did your job. The highest honor was to smile when they shot you. Took you long enough.
