Quotes

Greg Nagel: Nagel: The DA is willing to offer a deal. Twenty-five years.
Captain Brad Bellick: No.
Greg Nagel: Brad, they'd drop the capital charge. No death penalty.
Captain Brad Bellick: No! I'd be almost 65 when I get out.
Greg Nagel: But you'd get out. If this case goes to trial, there's an excellent chance that you're sentenced to death. I've been doing this a while, Brad, and I can tell you, these things never go down good. When the system wants you, they get you, one way or another.
Captain Brad Bellick: Part of the deal's gotta be, I do my time in Illinois, so I can be near my mom.

T-Bag meets Denise, who works in the post office, and seduces her to get Susan Hollander's address. Bellick is sent to the District Court in Greeley County, Kansas, and has his bail denied. He makes a deal to be sent to Fox River expecting to have a good life. However the new warden decides to use him as an example of the new administration. Meanwhile Mahone tries to transport the prisoners, but the standard procedure does not allow it. Kellerman makes an arrangement to intercept the convoy in a blocked tunnel to kill the prisoners. However, Michael and Lincoln and helped by a surprising allied. T-Bag finds Susan.

"The Killing Box" is the best episode of the Second Season so far. The story is excellent, with many twists, and I loved the situation of Bellick in Fox River. The end is a stunning surprise, and I really did not expect that Michael and Lincoln could be helped by their new allied. My vote is ten.
