Trivia:
When Sucre is in Mexico and gets caught by the police and afterwards he is rewarded by the owner of the car he had stolen this is a direct (maybe not deliberate) connection with Victor Hugo's famous novel 'Les Misérables'. more
Goofs:
Continuity: When Sucre gets the old man's car, and the car stops in the middle of the desert, in the close ups we see a big tree in the background behind Sucre, but in the more wide shots of the car and Sucre there is no big tree anywhere near, only some small bushes. more
Quotes:
Mexican in Bus: Why's it so important for you to get to Ixtapa? What's there?
Fernando Sucre: Everything in my life.
Mexican in Bus: A woman.
Fernando Sucre: [laughs] The woman.

A Giant Setup?, 23 October 2008
7/10
Author: Claudio Carvalho from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

In Cutback, Montana, Kellerman lures the police and Michael and Lincoln abduct the cameraman Greg of Fox News and succeed in escaping from the siege. Michael and Lincoln decide to tape a message to be released in the Breaking News. Mahone is back in Chicago and analyzing the message; he interrogates Greg and he tells that he had overheard Michael tell that they should cover 460 miles in six hours. Mahone deducts that they intend to meet President Caroline in Denver. Wheeler discusses with Mahone and yells that the internal affair asked him to follow all moves of Mahone. Bellick is badly wounded in the infirmary of Fox River. Sucre befriends an old passenger in a bus to Ixtapa; however the driver asks him to leave the bus in a small town and Sucre robs the Volkswagen of the old man. In Algoma, Winsconsin, Haywire befriends a young couple and the girl has bruises on her arm; she tells that her abusive drunken father uses to beat her.

"The Message" is the weakest episode of the second season of "Prison Break". The situation of Haywire is silly; Sucre has a lesson of life in a corny and unbelievable part of the plot; the exaggerated cleverness of Mahone is irritating and they guy forgot that he was shot in the two last episodes. How could a statement like the message of Michael and Lincoln be simply suppressed without any consequence? Is Kellerman plotting a giant setup to Michael, Lincoln and Sara? My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "A Mensagem" ("The Message")
