C-note has jumped with the noose around his neck, but is saved by jailers; he has Malone told he'll still do it. At a Chicago hotel, president Caroline Reynolds is expected for a speech. Michael sends the real Cooper Green away and agrees a meeting point with Linc and Sarah. Malone enters Sarah's room and only pretends to fail looking under the bed to trap her, she pretends the brothers left her. In Mexico T-bag finds Bellick is waiting at the luggage conveyor and must get his from the service side, but the laborer he knocks down falls onto it, so he must run. Lincoln surprises his old mate Derrick Sweeney and calls a favor: three tickets on a freighter for Panama. Kellerman is in position to shoot the fiendish president, but when she's in his sight Michael gets arrested just after shaking her hand, and is interrogated by Kim who demands to be left alone with him, to ask where Linc is, then tries literally to beat it out of him; the president barges in and sends Kim out just when he ...

Goofs

The two brothers seek a presidential pardon. However, the brothers were serving their time in a state prison and were most likely convicted of state crimes, not federal crimes. A presidential pardon is only effective against violations of federal law. In order to be pardoned for their offenses the brothers would need a pardon from the Governor of Illinois, not the President of the United States.

C-Note hangs himself in his cell, but the security guard saves him. In despair, he calls Mahone, but Wheeler receives the call instead. Mahone breaks in the room 1006 and arrests Sara. In Mexico, T-Bag sees Bellick and leaves his bag with US$ 5,000,000.00 in the airport. Michael gives a message to Caroline telling that he has the tape while the sniper Kellerman is ready to shoot her. He is captured and Bill Kim tortures him trying to know where Lincoln is. In Rio Juarez, Mexico, Sucre sees T-Bag on TV running away from the airport and concludes he left the money in the airport. Sara discovers that Mahone is a junkie, using 20 mg of the tranquilizer Varatril to stay calm. Caroline asks Bill Kim to step outside the kitchen and close the door because she wants to talk to Michael in private. Michael reveals the content of the tape and blackmails her to give presidential pardon to Lincoln and him. Wheeler visits C-Note and proposes a deal to capture Mahone, promising protection to his family and him. Sara escapes from Mahone, but it actually is part of his plan since Agent Lang is following Sara in the Grand Carlisle Hotel to find the location of Michael and Lincoln. Caroline tells Kim that he is a despicable corporate man and she will give the presidential pardon to Michael and Lincoln; however, Kim blackmails her with the same information the brothers have and she announces that she is stepping down as president.

The content of the tape and the resignation of the tape are the great surprises of this show. However, how could Kellerman kill an agent in charge of the security of the president and nobody notes that? How could five million dollar pass in the security system of an American airport without being detected by the X-Ray inspection? It seems that Mahone will be finally put away by Wheeler. I hope T-Bag kills Bellick, maybe the most despicable character of this series. My vote is eight.
