Episode 3x11 - Under and Out
Okay, if it's okay, I would like to try my hand on a shakedown. Sorry, if this ended up a bit on the long side.
I really enjoyed this episode and it reminded me why I like Zack Estrin (who wrote my still most favorite episode English Fitz and Percy). I think this episode hearkened back to the past (T-Bag mentioned his Susan, Sucre mentioned Michael's guilt, Michael talked about what it was like on the run) and a lot of the characters were expressing things that either were on the mind of us viewers or on the mind of the characters for a long time. I also enjoy how he seems to enjoy making threats out of really simple things (in this episode, the truck rolling towards the hole).
In my mind there were two important themes to this episode.
1.) Group dynamics of the escape team
2.) Michael's character
T-Bag: I have seen a couple of people mention that this episode reminded them a lot of the escape episodes of season 1 (like McGrady being brought on the team last minute just like Tweener was) and that it also had all those fun inter group interactions. The most essential about these is that to me they are spot on. Is it annoying to see T-Bag gnawing on Michael and his plan? Sure. But isn't he *right*? I mean seriously, show of hands if you believe that Michael has some plan in his back pocket to rid himself of T-Bag. T-Bag has every reason to be worried and so it made sense for him to scramble around and try to forge connections. In many ways he was thrust in the position of the little devil on everybody's shoulder.
The most interesting scene was without a doubt the one between him and Mahone.
I feel him and Sucre were sort of cast on the opposites ends. Sucre was the naive hopeful voice, saying he just wants everybody to be happy and everybody to get what they want. While T-Bag was telling Mahone that he should just stop kidding himself that he might ever get a happy ending.
Relevant was also the part where he tried to compare himself to Mahone, arguing that they have a similar body count and that the only difference is Mahone's badge (me, I would argue people raping people in combination with his murders is one of the differences, but that's just me). Interesting is also how he described their similarities. Arguing that:
1.) They both know what it feels like to lose a great love
2.) They both know what it feels like to kill somebody
My first reaction to this scene was that this description really hold good for several character, most notably Michael. Though then it occurred to me that there is a big difference. Both Susan and Pam are still alive and both were ultimately driven away by the darkness in their would be beaus.
Mahone: We started with a nice Mahone moment where Mahone tried to be the practical one, negotiating between Michael and the gang to find the best strategy to get all of them out. Then the episode attributed quite a bit of material to Mahone's motivations through his convos T-Bag and Bellick. He also got some of the best lines of the episode. Bellick: We could be like Butch and Sundance . . .
Mahone: They died.
Bellick: Well, all the stuff before that
and
Mahone: Justice? Justice? If there were any justice in this world, you'd be buried in an unmarked grave with the rest of your inbred family.
He kept himself pretty covered with regards to his future motivations though the conversation with Bellick had Bellick hint that maybe he does yearn to get back to his family. He also got to clearly distinguish himself from T-Bag though it seems ironic that it might have been precisely T-Bag who gave him the food for thought that might save him. He also rejected Bellick's plan to grab Michael, Lincoln and T-Bag and bring them back to the US as prisoners and hinted that he would rather be doing something else.
Speculation: I think that the ones who go through the tunnel first (Lechero, Bellick, T-Bag) will be caught. I think that that was always part of Michael's plan and he was counting on them to get greedy. To me it looked like Michael was in full deception mode when he asked Mahone if he didn't want to go first too. Instead Mahone more or less quoted T-Bag's line (about watching your back) and stayed behind.
Sucre: Can we just say one thing? Worst. Undercover. Agent. Ever. LOL. Both other than that Sucre was very love worthy today. From his plea about about how he just wants everybody to get what they want to him thinking of disrupting the jeeps on his own to help Michael even though nobody told him to.
And then of course to be trapped possibly due to a mistake in the very same fake identity that was supposed to be his protection.
Bellick: There isn't much to say about Bellick except that I heart Wade and that he was in full on pity mode. Of course this episode was all about Bellick's fatal flaw. He just doesn't understand that he would have a much better chance if he latched on to Michael and appealed to Michael's pity. If you appeal to Michael's pity you end up like McGrady. If you don't, you are fucked. But instead of setting his sights on Michael Bellick tried to latch on to what he perceives the power players (though I find it interesting that he went for Mahone, the lawman, at least in Bellick's eyes still), probably a sign that he is still underestimating Michael or that he still tries to hold on to his identity and world view with him (and Mahone) as the law man and the others as lowly criminals, probably again seen in his suggestion that he and Mahone should arrest the remaining Fox River people, take them to the US and be heroes there.
Lincoln, Susan and Sofia: This episode showed quite a bit of progress on the Lincoln/Sofia front. I would single out their very first scene, Lincoln trying to rush in when Sofia was being hurt by Susan and Sofia calling Lincoln's name for help rather than Whistler's when she was being led away in the end. Out of these I liked the first scene the least. I think it did convey some important info, most notably Lincoln stating that nothing has made sense to him for the last three years, but the writing of that scene just felt a bit clunky.
Also noteworthy was Sofia's refusal to meet with Whistler in that scene, stating that she didn't want to talk to him till he is out. Could this be connected to what she saw in the briefcase?
Then we have Susan. I have to make an admission here. Susan is growing on me. Not in the sense that I like her as a character. After all she isn't likable at all. By now she is like some deranged cartoon villain, but at least she is embracing it and seems to be having fun with it, which to me translates into getting more enjoyment out of watching her scenes. But yes, she is pretty much a cartoon villain (just take the way the Lincoln/Sofia/Susan scene was set up like a mock tea party) and either you are amused by it or you loathe it.
Still that scene was good for me, mostly because it was rich on the snark: JLOK: I could tell you, but I'd have to kill you.
Lincoln: You're going to do that anyway.
And I really that Susan dropped the first hints about the larger (supposedly good?) motivation about the company (also, Sofia and Lincoln's instant curiosity as they turned to her to hear the answer).
The main even: Michael, Michael, Michael
I think this episode really delved into Michael's character and was a real treasure trove of Michael information. Among the most essential things I would count: 1.) Michael's growing sympathy for Whistler: I have really been enjoying the Michael/Whistler interaction approximately since Bang and Burn where Whistler official gave up pretending that he had no agenda at all. Somehow if anything that seems to have made Michael relate to him more rather than less. I'm somebody who has often complained that the writers haven't really done a good job of following up that claim that Michael is somebody who can't resist feeling for people. And now for once I think we say that tendency full force. We know that Michael didn't *want* to like Whistler and relate to him. He said so himself. This whole season so far has been about Michael trying to keep people like Whistler and to some extent McGrady at arms length and thereby keep himself from caring about them. He tried to distrust Whistler, he tried to be cold and snarky with him but ultimately it didn't work. By now Michael empathizes with him. Michael: I got my concerns about pretty much everybody, Linc. You know what I mean?
Lincoln: Yeah.
Well... unless Whistler is double crossing him and what Michael is really concerned about is constantly watching for anybody to double cross him. So, what's really going on? 2.) Michael spelling it out to Whistler in a very sure, calm way that if the company wasn't forcing him to, Michael wouldn't have tried a break out, he would have stayed in Sona and he wants to pay for his sins. And him rejecting Whistler's suggestion that the hope/promise of freedom would be appealing to him, the way it is for Whistler. Which imo is really a fascinating insights for us fans into Michael's character.
3.) Liar mode Michael. Just how fun was it to see Michael in liar mode on the phone with the electricity company? And kinda sad just how much more he smiled, in character on the phone, compared to how normal/real Michael does? But like Whistler said, darn is he good at it. It helped again to remind one a bit of season 1 (particularly Michael's strategy of finding Fibonacci).
4.) Michael's tiredness and heroism. Michael expressed a bunch of times in this episode just how draining all of this is to him. Most notably. Michael: Mostly I'm just tired. Tired of choices, consequences.
This whole feeling was just reinforced by Michael's description of what life on the run if like to McGrady. Which gives us an insight just how terrible the experience must have been to him and just how he felt throughout it. Notably also his refusal to make a choice for McGrady, having McGrady to take the responsibility away from him, not wanting to be responsible when yet another nice person's life ends up sucking because of him. IMO all of that, Michael's behavior with both McGrady and Whistler (and to a smaller extent Lincoln's behavior regarding Sofia&Whistler) just showcases his heroism more. We all know it's questionable how much of a happy ending is possible for them, but what I felt was that Michael still passionately wants happy endings to happen for other people (like McGrady getting to see his father again) even if it doesn't happen for him.
5.) Michael's doubt regarding handing Whistler over. There are no words for how much love I have for Sucre's line about how Michael let some pretty bad people out the last time and how he thinks that Michael never really forgave himself for that. LOVELOVELOVE I found it interesting that the show didn't really spell it out whether Michael's doubts were foremost about not wanting to hand Whistler over because he fears that whatever Whistler has for the company will cause hurt and harm to people. The show kinda left that open.
Which all brings us to:
Whistler and the coordinates: Bad writing or intentional deception? On the most basic level, Whistler and Whistler's conflict in this episode was really touching. And it certainly was something Michael empathized with, Whistler's worry over Sofia, Whistler, the potentially average guy who is drawn into the web of the conspiracy, Whistler wanting to sacrifice himself and talking about going out with dignity. Whistler really had some powerful dialog in that regard that covered a lot of areas that are also of interest for our heroes. Plus, the really touching scene where he talks about entrusting Sofia's life to Lincoln and Michael and expressing that he considers them honorable/trustworthy men. Because dang, doesn't it feel great to have our guys finally be recognized and appreciated for that? It really was a very beautiful storyline.
But darn you Prison Break! Darn you for making me always second guess anything a character does. Because I began to wonder.
Speculation: I began to wonder when the big conflict of the episode was whether Whistler should hand over the coordinates. If Whistler can just hand over the coordinates, why even bother to break him out? Why not just torture Sofia till he hands them in just to stop it? Sure, they still would have needed Michael to save Whistler from Lechero's goons and get him access to a cellphone or something, but still, if they don't need Whistler in person for the coordinates or because he is an important member of the conspiracy, then why bother breaking him out?
It also seems noteworthy to me that Susan has several opportunities to grab Sofia, but didn't and instead always just told her to go home and leave things alone. And even in this episode she didn't grab her till after Sucre had told her that Michael might be having doubts about handing over Whistler. So I wonder, is it possible that all of this, including the torture of Sofia was an intentional ruse by Whistler and Susan in order to endear Whistler to Michael? Or is Whistler really as good as he seems?
And since we are talking about Whistler in this episode, there was also Whistler saying that everything that has happened has been his fault, hasn't Lincoln expressed similar feelings? No wonder Michael was probably getting deja vus all over the place. Also interesting: We know that Michael doesn't blame Lincoln for Sara's death, so it was quite fascinating to see that Whistler didn't have a problem with that (blaming Lincoln) when Michael suggested a rescue attempt of Sofia.
Personally, I thought Chris Vance did a really good job in this episode and I really felt for him. I have also been liking the Michael/Whistler interaction in the most recent episodes. So I wouldn't exactly be upset if Whistler really turned out to be what he was shown as in this episode. But the mind can't help being suspicious.
Parallels between this episode and season 1:Aside from the similarities with McGrady there is also the last minute argument with a villain pulling a knife (before it was T-Bag, this time it was Lechero). I actually thought that scene worked better here, because Lechero was threatening Whistler and we all know just how much Whistler is worth and how much Michael would do for him.
Notes on the directing:
Additional Material:
Director's Take: I found this really informative. It talks about how the writer wanted the rain to be a sort of connecting theme for the episode and it says something quite interesting about Michael's relationship with McGrady and his decision to take him along. Director: There has been nothing but a trail of bodies for three seasons now. Michael's sins are just weighing on him. The idea of helping one person, to save one person has gone a long way for him. And he has chosen McGrady to be that person, but at the same time he needs to be absolved of responsibility.
Danay Garcia Behind The Scenes: Cough. If I ever have any doubts as to why she was hired, I think this clip provides ample motivation, cough. :D But it is noteworthy that she seems much more pretty, charming and lively off screen than when she is in character (and I like Sofia well enough).
T-Bag's Visitation: Bonus clip of T-Bag meeting with Lechero's hookernun girlfriend and angling for a place to stay. Just a little bonus for any T-Bag fans out there. Most interesting about this? Probably the hints about Lechero really not being a very nice person in a person to person kind of way.
Prison Break Superbowl Commercial: Lincoln and Sucre have hiatus beards. T-Bag drools over hunky football players.

Notes on the directing:
- I really loved the music in this episode, particularly the song playing in the bar scene between Sucre and Susan.
- I really hated the directing job during the mini tunnel building montage. We see Michael digging on the front, then pan backwards over all the others and whatever jobs they are doing. Then we have Bellick's convo with Lechero and Michael coming up from behind. Really bugged me
- Another directing move I didn't care for was the change from the fence scene with the five of them to the scene with just Michael and Lincoln after the rest of them leave. It just felt like the mood totally changed from a highly emotional scene to a cold exposition scene, to the extent where I wondered if they had been shot on completely different days.
- I really noted that scene with Michael, Whistler and McGrady marching next to each other towards the escape. A sign that they are the good guys?
- I really liked the directing in the scene between Michael and Whistler after the phone call. Lots of round panning from one to the other.
- If I had to hand out clunkiest scene awards (from a writing POV) I would pick:
1.) The into scene with Lincoln and Sofia in the car, a bit too short and just felt clunky
2.) McGrady's speech about American policy. I appreciate the sentiment, but it was still a bit clunky
3.) "Where to shoot her first, the bun or the oven?" *headdesk*
