Jodi Lynn O'Keefe TV Guide Interview
TVGuide.com: You're back on Prison Break, at least in the standalone movie being released to DVD. When did you shoot that?
O'Keefe: We just finished it actually, at the end of the season.
TVGuide.com: Gretchen was in fact taken into custody and imprisoned? She couldn't wiggle her way out of that last predicament?
O'Keefe: No. I was hoping she would, but it's nice to come back for these last two episodes.
TVGuide.com: The set-up isn't about her orchestrating a prison break, however. It's about somebody else...
O'Keefe: Yes, the central set-up is about somebody else being in prison, and what that's going to be like. It's kind of cool because this is like a rewind.
TVGuide.com: Meaning, whereas the series' actual finale ends with a four-year flash-forward this movie place during that time gap.
O'Keefe: Exactly.
TVGuide.com: Is Gretchen even harder in prison, or has it humbled her?
O'Keefe: She's pretty hard in prison, though she's keeping to herself. She has one goal in mind — to get out and see her daughter. But she has been very quiet, and has established herself as someone not to mess with. The inmates all leave her alone, so she must have done some fighting when she first got in!

Okie, so we know the good doc is pregnant. We don't like it; you guys have expressed that but what can we do about it? Exactly, so what does all this mean? What will happen? Well, there's the button! Click it to find out!

Video transcripts from Went's Third China Trip
Okie so I've been watching these videos off & on since April 22 & have finally finished! WHEW!! Rather than doing the regular Q&A style, I thought it would be cool to just go through them all & either post what he says, if it's a little inaudible or just to comment on what he said - which is always fun for me!
I won't bother with the videos from Chevy Night when he was on stage. I'm starting with the ChinaTV video!
He begins saying that "they're" always respectful, well informed & loyal. Then he goes on to say that "they" always make him feel welcome & at home & he appreciates that, so I'm assuming he's speaking of his Chinese fans!
In the next part of the video, he talks about how TV has been good to him but he says he's attracted to doing a movie because it "only lasts two or three months of the year" and also that he's interested in stage play. That's basically it... short, simple! Now on to the talk show!
Talk show vids can be seen here - The vids are a little out of order but aren't so bad you can't follow!
(1) Wentworth blushes as Lu Yu tells him what an amazing baritone he is *squee*! This brought tears to my eyes b/c I LOVE his voice. Too bad he refused to sing :( He's so bashful while listening to his old Tigertones vocals! I loved it! He seems a bit like "OH GOD, not this AGAIN! Why won't people just let the singer in me DIE?!" Lu Yu has a nice voice as well lol! (more of this in part 5-2)
(2) You can hear the "oohs" & "ahhs" of the crowd as a clip from "The Human Stain" plays on the screen behind Wentworth.
(3) I have no idea what was said, but it looks like they were showing off a poster of Went with the Cruze - you know the poster!
(4) Wentworth arrives!
(5-1) Wentworth talks about Prison Break & says some of the same stuff he talked about regarding the show & it's popularity last time. He also mentions the similarity among his fans wherever he travels to. He says "it's like running into family"! Ahh, how sweet.
Lu Yu says she has to talk about his eyes & starts telling the story about how her friend was screaming & gasping for air when she told her that he would be on her show! She said that her friend told her that she couldn't be there but asked if she'd do one thing for her: look into his eyes! OMG I can't stare into his eyes on a photo let alone him in person! OMG he's so sweet - he just says "ahh thank you. You're gonna' make me blush" as Lu says she understand why her friend wanted her to do that! Oh she also told him how people were telling her how much they loved him!
Lu Yu asks her audience if they were too excited to sleep or even decide what to wear b/c of Wentworth and he says "I couldn't decide what to wear either!" I love this man! So she asks him if he's learned any other words/phrases besides "ni hao" (hello) since this is his 3rd trip to China. He says he's learned to say "wo ai ni" (I love you) & he raises his eyebrow when he says it with this huge grin *nearly unconscious here*
She asks him if he's had an opportunity to sight-see a little. He answers even though each time he's been to China, it's been for work, he always takes one day to sight-see/explore. He says that he's been to the Great Wall & he loved to go back b/c it's an extraordinary man-made monument that can be seen from space. He says he made it to the top & he was huffing & puffing as these "little old ladies" just "scooted" by him which was a little embarrassing LOL!
Lu Yu asked if he realized the number of Chinese fans he had & he said he'd heard there were about 135,000,000 fans watching PB online each week but for "a boy from Brooklyn, NY" he would have never believed that he would be traveling abroad, even going to China three times; he said he feels very fortunate. He was a little surprised that the show has a large female audience - umm, dur, Went, you're on the show... how can we NOT watch... besides the show is frickin' good! Lu Yu asks if he's a sensible driver. He says PB has made him a very responsible driver. He said he loves to drive! He goes on saying how driving to/from different locations gave him the opportunity to reflect, unwind, listen to tunes, snack... so LY interrupts & asks "what kind of snacks". He likes Dunkin' Donuts, basically anything with sugar. LY says she thought he might have been very health conscious but he says "not as much as you might think. I have a terrible sweet tooth." LOL! He's so cute! He sings along while the music is playing. (This part continues into the next video.)
(5-2) He, like a lot of us, believes music is very powerful - I know I believe that! It can be a "backdrop" for a previous experience & hearing that song can bring back memories! He says he doesn't know any Chinese songs yet but he has been exposed to some. Lu Yu talks about Went being an amazing Baritone. He won't sing so they put on one of his Tigertones songs, "The Blues in the Night" - if you haven't heard it, where have you been LOL but since I'm kind, here you go - watch it! Ok, so she tells him that he has a great voice & that she won't ask him to sing if he doesn't want to but does ask why he didn't choose singing as his career. His reply: "It's something I've thought about, purely as a fantasy, but, at the time, when I was singing more consistently back in college, I really didn't think I could make a living out of it. It seemed like an impossible dream, even crazier than acting, so it's something that I let go of after I graduated from college." He says mom nor dad can "carry a tune" so he has no idea where he gets the ability from.
Lu Yu asks if his dad is as good looking as he is. He says they do look very much alike but he also looks like his mom. People say he looks a lot like both of them, depending on who he's with! She's start talking about an interview with his dad from some years back where his dad says that Went isn't as handsome as he is, but he's very talented! Went says his dad is a "proud papa" ahhhhh! He says his dad is a fan of the show. He says it's great that he's on TV b/c his parents get to see him once a week even though they live far apart. He also mentions how he has to call his mom to let her know ahead of time that something bad will happen to Michael!
Lu Yu asks about his father being instrumental in his acting career, then he talks about the Kindergarten dinosaur play where his dad spent 3 weeks helping him make this fabulous elaborate T-Rex costume & how excited he was about the audience reception of him; it's an intimacy like no other & he wanted that - thus, the dream of his acting career was launched. He went on to talk about how both he & his father are artistic; they are both talented artists. He says that when his father was unsure of him becoming an actor, he told him that it was his fault he wanted to act, reminding him of the Kindergarten dinosaur play! Wentworth says that even after moving to LA to work in the industry, he was still unsure of whether or not this was for him, but he didn't want to go through life wondering, so he decided he wanted to do it. He said his parents wanted to support him but were very concerned about how he would make it.
(6) Went is talking about being rejected for a role. He begins talking about being able to "read the room" when going on an audition & how you won't know what's happened b/c actors don't talk to the director, producer, etc.; an actor's agent has to notify him of he decision & if rejected, you have the daunting task of trying to figure out why you didn't get the part. Sometimes it's b/c you're not good enough, sometimes it could be your height, eye color & that's something you can't change. He says there were times when this happened to him & he did get upset b/c auditioning for a role takes more than just studying the lines. He puts himself into the character, heart & soul, and imagines the movie, etc., so of course, if he doesn't get a role, he feels all of the time he's invested in it is just gone & there you are starting over from scratch & it can be very difficult. He says when he got the role of Michael Scofield he was very excited b/c it'd been a long time since he'd worked & it was especially exciting to be going to Chicago & filming in a real prison. He thought there was something special about the first script and the right pieces were there to put together a very interesting puzzle that would compel people to tune in every week.
Next they cut to a clip of "The Human Stain". Someone brings Went & Lu Yu a drink & you can hear him saying "thank you very much". He gets up from the sofa as the clip plays. His character, the young Coleman Silk, is giving boxing lessons to Jacinda Barrett's character, Steena Paulson. This video concludes just as Steena touches Coleman's chest!
(7) The video begins as Wentworth is talking about T-Bag being this horrible guy and one not to be sympathized with, but he says, because the writers are so clever & Robert Knepper is such a great actor, the audience fines themselves caring about him.
They go on talking about the tattoo. Went says when he saw the script & that the plans for the prison escape were hidden in this full body tattoo, he was amazed b/c it was unlike anything he'd ever seen. He felt it was eye catching! He said working on the show cured him of any desire of wanting one b/c it was an extremely long process that became a bit much to handle putting it on & off everyday. He said there were a couple of occasions where he had to wear it home & it's like wearing fly paper to bed; it would stick to the sheets - now there's a thought... stuck to Wentworth Miller's sheets =D Lu Yu tells him that it looks sexy & he modestly looks away, laughs & says "well thank you"!
She asks if he watches PB & he says he did at first but b/c it's a very dark show & b/c there are bad things happening to the characters, he had to distance himself. He also said he did this b/c he's such a workaholic that the show was starting to take over his life so he felt he needed a break. He says maybe in a few years (he hasn't seen it in quite sometime) he'll sit down with the DVD's one weekend & watch it!
(8-1) This clip emerges with a fan from the audience asking if he loves his Chinese fans. He says "of course! You're why I'm here today!" The the lady asks what his impression of his Chinese fans are. He mentions that when he meets someone that speaks a different language, yet they are still able to bond through PB, then his work has been able to find a place in that person's life/heart despite the differences then it means a lot. He says the cast/crew of PB were aware of the international audience & they all pushed themselves to continue to perform at the high standard they set b/c they cared enough to want to give more each week to the people who invested so much in watching the show.
Lu Yu explains that the young lady from the audience asked that question b/c she wanted to hear him say "I love you guys so much" & he did say that & also added "that's why I keep coming back"!
Another fan from the audience gets to ask a question. She begins with that same school girl *squee* so to speak. You can hear, in her voice, that's she's blushing as she grins & says "Hi Went"! Ahh! He replies "ni hao" - showing off the little Chinese that he's learned lol! She goes on to say that she feels like she's the luckiest girl in the world; her name is Amy. She tells him that she's speechless but has to talk - what's funny about that is, she says she wants to say a lot to him but she can barely put together a sentence & she wasn't even close to him LOL! Poor girl, I can imagine! & she goes on with her question which begins with her telling him that she knows his favorite quote is from Toni Morrison's Beloved: "Definitions belong to the definers and not the defined." She then asks if he has any definitions for himself, if he has any similarities w/Michael since most people refer to him as such and how he feels about being regarded as Michael (if he wants to "get rid of Michael). Also, she asks him to tell about his special experiences in his PB journey. Wentworth says that although Michael existed on paper first, he does share a lot of similarties w/him. He said that he put a lot of himself into the character so he does represent certain parts of him taken to an extreme. They both share a respect for preparation, order, research & discipline but Mikey's a little bit of a crazy, loose cannon! It would take an extraordinary man, one who is borderline genius & insane, to get himself thrown into prison to save a loved one & that is where they are different. He's been honored to play Michael Scofield & if this is the character he's most known for & if PB is the best thing that he ever does, then he'll consider it a privilege. Now he's been thinking that since he was Michael for so long & that the show is over, that people will associate him with the character. He is, however, confident that he has a lot more to offer and that there are other sides of himself that he hasn't shared yet that he wants to surprise us with in hopes that we find enjoyment in the other things he'll do ~ surprise me, honey! LOL
Ok next audience question: "What field would you like to try in the future?" Went says he'd like to try it all: actor, director, producer, writer, etc. He says he's fallen in love with storytelling & will eventually find himself telling stories in his own way other than just as an actor. He says he's not the sole reason Michael Scofield is so well loved; he owes Michael's successful to the 150 cast & crew members. It's a collaborative process & there are a lot of different facets of the business he'd like to explore. He's writing a couple of feature films with some friends where he'll play a bad guy, like Jack Nicholson in "The Shining" b/c he loves a good horror movie ~ looks like someone's been keeping up with what I ask for... good for you, Went! I'm happy you pay attention to what I say ;-)! He then says that after being the good guy, it'd be nice to be the one running around with the ax! He also talks about the bad guys of PB: Abruzzi, Kellerman, T-Bag, Bellick got to do some great stuff that he couldn't do b/c he had to remain the cool, calm & stoic good guy.
(8-2) This clips picks up where the last left off: He's looking forward to playing a twisted character!
The next girl in the audience was a little funny to me & probably made Wentworth feel a little awkward lol! I guess it's one thing to get a sappy love letter from a fan but to have certain things said to you in front of a live crowd has gotta be crazy! I should be one to talk; hell I blurted out "I love you" to him & he, being the sweetheart he is & I guess to keep me from feeling awkward, said, "I love you, too" LOL! Anyhoot, the girl starts saying how she's overwhelmed but wants to express her strong feelings for him. She then tells him that she hopes he takes care of himself, she hopes he stays healthy & has a bright future & she has always loved him & always will. Ahh, how sweet. His reply: "Thank you very much."
Next question comes from a guy who says something I couldn't really understand but I think he said something about Wentworth being his idol & his hopes for Went's career - I think. Anyway, Wentworth says he has a lot of favorite actors depending on the type movie, but one of his favorites "Dangerous Liasons" with John Malkovich, Glenn Close & Michelle Pfieffer (movie based in France in the late 1700's that premiered in 1988). He said Malkovich's character is despicable & the character to be hated but the audience was drawn to love him & sympathize with him. Went says that this type of character is what he calls a "shades of grey character". He's not black or white (speaking metaphorically as good or bad) but rather falls along the lines of how people truly are & how they truly behave and is why we can relate to him.
Lu Yu asks about whether or not he has someone special in his life but he laughs & declines to answer, saying he's made it a rule not to talk about things like that b/c it's important for an actor to maintain a little bit of mystery. She goes on to ask about what projects he's working on (the camera is focusing on Lu Yu - her watch, ring, clothes & shoes - which is all very pretty, but it's kinda' funny). He says he'd like to give details but he doesn't want to jinx it lol. He does, however, say that it's a sort of horror movie, a psychological thriller like "The Shining". He also says he'd love to do romantic comedy or comedy period b/c it's somewhat of an unknown, which can be scary. He talks about it being difficult to make people laugh & that can be a frightening move but, as an actor, if something scares you, you should move towards it, embracing it so to speak b/c there's always something to learn. She also tells him he should shoot a movie in China, not necessarily a Chinese movie, but one shot on location in China. He said he would love that; he's just waiting for the right invitation. He mentions be a fan of the Kill Bill movies, which were shot mostly in China.
Lu Yu asks if he believes he has Chinese in his blood. He says it would be nice but you can never tell! He says that he feels something in him responds very well to Chinese culture. He then talks about his how, inspired by his first visit to China in October, he decided he wanted to put the "foo dogs" on the front porch of his home! He said he's actually looking for the 6' lions but has no idea how to get them home!
(8-3) Ok so this last video begins with Wentworth talking about how he likes to have things at home that remind him of where he's been & the people he's met. Someone brings up a gift for Went that was made by some fans. It's a very nice scrapbook with photos of his three trips to China. Then someone brings up the poster from the Cruze ad that Went in turns gives to a fan in the audience. The fan tells Wentworth that she met him when he first came to China & says some other really nice things to him but I think the mic wasn't turned up loud enough b/c I couldn't make out everything she said! But after, saying thank you, he did reach for a hug from her & the audience "oohed" & "ahhed"! Wentworth was thanked by Lu Yu for being there, walked off stage toward the audience, shook a few hands & then it was over!
I won't bother with the videos from Chevy Night when he was on stage. I'm starting with the ChinaTV video!
He begins saying that "they're" always respectful, well informed & loyal. Then he goes on to say that "they" always make him feel welcome & at home & he appreciates that, so I'm assuming he's speaking of his Chinese fans!
In the next part of the video, he talks about how TV has been good to him but he says he's attracted to doing a movie because it "only lasts two or three months of the year" and also that he's interested in stage play. That's basically it... short, simple! Now on to the talk show!

Went says when he saw the script & that the plans for the prison escape were hidden in this full body tattoo, he was amazed b/c it was unlike anything he'd ever seen. He felt it was eye catching! He said working on the show cured him of any desire of wanting one b/c it was an extremely long process that became a bit much to handle putting it on & off everyday. He said there were a couple of occasions where he had to wear it home & it's like wearing fly paper to bed; it would stick to the sheets - now there's a thought... stuck to Wentworth Miller's sheets =D Lu Yu tells him that it looks sexy & he modestly looks away, laughs & says "well thank you"!
She asks if he watches PB & he says he did at first but b/c it's a very dark show & b/c there are bad things happening to the characters, he had to distance himself. He also said he did this b/c he's such a workaholic that the show was starting to take over his life so he felt he needed a break. He says maybe in a few years (he hasn't seen it in quite sometime) he'll sit down with the DVD's one weekend & watch it!
(8-1) This clip emerges with a fan from the audience asking if he loves his Chinese fans. He says "of course! You're why I'm here today!" The the lady asks what his impression of his Chinese fans are. He mentions that when he meets someone that speaks a different language, yet they are still able to bond through PB, then his work has been able to find a place in that person's life/heart despite the differences then it means a lot. He says the cast/crew of PB were aware of the international audience & they all pushed themselves to continue to perform at the high standard they set b/c they cared enough to want to give more each week to the people who invested so much in watching the show.
Lu Yu explains that the young lady from the audience asked that question b/c she wanted to hear him say "I love you guys so much" & he did say that & also added "that's why I keep coming back"!
Another fan from the audience gets to ask a question. She begins with that same school girl *squee* so to speak. You can hear, in her voice, that's she's blushing as she grins & says "Hi Went"! Ahh! He replies "ni hao" - showing off the little Chinese that he's learned lol! She goes on to say that she feels like she's the luckiest girl in the world; her name is Amy. She tells him that she's speechless but has to talk - what's funny about that is, she says she wants to say a lot to him but she can barely put together a sentence & she wasn't even close to him LOL! Poor girl, I can imagine! & she goes on with her question which begins with her telling him that she knows his favorite quote is from Toni Morrison's Beloved: "Definitions belong to the definers and not the defined." She then asks if he has any definitions for himself, if he has any similarities w/Michael since most people refer to him as such and how he feels about being regarded as Michael (if he wants to "get rid of Michael). Also, she asks him to tell about his special experiences in his PB journey. Wentworth says that although Michael existed on paper first, he does share a lot of similarties w/him. He said that he put a lot of himself into the character so he does represent certain parts of him taken to an extreme. They both share a respect for preparation, order, research & discipline but Mikey's a little bit of a crazy, loose cannon! It would take an extraordinary man, one who is borderline genius & insane, to get himself thrown into prison to save a loved one & that is where they are different. He's been honored to play Michael Scofield & if this is the character he's most known for & if PB is the best thing that he ever does, then he'll consider it a privilege. Now he's been thinking that since he was Michael for so long & that the show is over, that people will associate him with the character. He is, however, confident that he has a lot more to offer and that there are other sides of himself that he hasn't shared yet that he wants to surprise us with in hopes that we find enjoyment in the other things he'll do ~ surprise me, honey! LOL
Ok next audience question: "What field would you like to try in the future?" Went says he'd like to try it all: actor, director, producer, writer, etc. He says he's fallen in love with storytelling & will eventually find himself telling stories in his own way other than just as an actor. He says he's not the sole reason Michael Scofield is so well loved; he owes Michael's successful to the 150 cast & crew members. It's a collaborative process & there are a lot of different facets of the business he'd like to explore. He's writing a couple of feature films with some friends where he'll play a bad guy, like Jack Nicholson in "The Shining" b/c he loves a good horror movie ~ looks like someone's been keeping up with what I ask for... good for you, Went! I'm happy you pay attention to what I say ;-)! He then says that after being the good guy, it'd be nice to be the one running around with the ax! He also talks about the bad guys of PB: Abruzzi, Kellerman, T-Bag, Bellick got to do some great stuff that he couldn't do b/c he had to remain the cool, calm & stoic good guy.
(8-2) This clips picks up where the last left off: He's looking forward to playing a twisted character!
The next girl in the audience was a little funny to me & probably made Wentworth feel a little awkward lol! I guess it's one thing to get a sappy love letter from a fan but to have certain things said to you in front of a live crowd has gotta be crazy! I should be one to talk; hell I blurted out "I love you" to him & he, being the sweetheart he is & I guess to keep me from feeling awkward, said, "I love you, too" LOL! Anyhoot, the girl starts saying how she's overwhelmed but wants to express her strong feelings for him. She then tells him that she hopes he takes care of himself, she hopes he stays healthy & has a bright future & she has always loved him & always will. Ahh, how sweet. His reply: "Thank you very much."
Next question comes from a guy who says something I couldn't really understand but I think he said something about Wentworth being his idol & his hopes for Went's career - I think. Anyway, Wentworth says he has a lot of favorite actors depending on the type movie, but one of his favorites "Dangerous Liasons" with John Malkovich, Glenn Close & Michelle Pfieffer (movie based in France in the late 1700's that premiered in 1988). He said Malkovich's character is despicable & the character to be hated but the audience was drawn to love him & sympathize with him. Went says that this type of character is what he calls a "shades of grey character". He's not black or white (speaking metaphorically as good or bad) but rather falls along the lines of how people truly are & how they truly behave and is why we can relate to him.
Lu Yu asks about whether or not he has someone special in his life but he laughs & declines to answer, saying he's made it a rule not to talk about things like that b/c it's important for an actor to maintain a little bit of mystery. She goes on to ask about what projects he's working on (the camera is focusing on Lu Yu - her watch, ring, clothes & shoes - which is all very pretty, but it's kinda' funny). He says he'd like to give details but he doesn't want to jinx it lol. He does, however, say that it's a sort of horror movie, a psychological thriller like "The Shining". He also says he'd love to do romantic comedy or comedy period b/c it's somewhat of an unknown, which can be scary. He talks about it being difficult to make people laugh & that can be a frightening move but, as an actor, if something scares you, you should move towards it, embracing it so to speak b/c there's always something to learn. She also tells him he should shoot a movie in China, not necessarily a Chinese movie, but one shot on location in China. He said he would love that; he's just waiting for the right invitation. He mentions be a fan of the Kill Bill movies, which were shot mostly in China.
Lu Yu asks if he believes he has Chinese in his blood. He says it would be nice but you can never tell! He says that he feels something in him responds very well to Chinese culture. He then talks about his how, inspired by his first visit to China in October, he decided he wanted to put the "foo dogs" on the front porch of his home! He said he's actually looking for the 6' lions but has no idea how to get them home!
(8-3) Ok so this last video begins with Wentworth talking about how he likes to have things at home that remind him of where he's been & the people he's met. Someone brings up a gift for Went that was made by some fans. It's a very nice scrapbook with photos of his three trips to China. Then someone brings up the poster from the Cruze ad that Went in turns gives to a fan in the audience. The fan tells Wentworth that she met him when he first came to China & says some other really nice things to him but I think the mic wasn't turned up loud enough b/c I couldn't make out everything she said! But after, saying thank you, he did reach for a hug from her & the audience "oohed" & "ahhed"! Wentworth was thanked by Lu Yu for being there, walked off stage toward the audience, shook a few hands & then it was over!

VS Recap
Christina's sniper takes aim at Lincoln just as he moves behind some trees, giving Self and Mahone enough time to spot the sniper. Mahone runs up to the roof and a fight begins. The sniper runs from Mahone down the stairwell, and Linc's waiting at the bottom. He demands to know where Christina is. The sniper stabs him in the arm and continues running... directly into the path of T-Bag, driving the SUV. The sniper is killed; they take his cell phone. Meanwhile, General Krantz meets with Tuxhorn and demands to know who has Scylla. He swears he doesn't know, and won't answer questions about calls he's been making to an unknown party. Krantz has his men get rough with Tuxhorn. Back in Miami, Mahone finds the sniper made lots of calls to a blocked number. Krantz calls Linc, demanding answers today; he's upset that they killed the sniper without getting any information out of him. Linc declines to tell Krantz that Christina has Scylla, much to T-Bag's consternation. Mahone points out that if they tell Krantz that Christna has Scylla, he may determine that they're all expendable.
Michael and Sara arrive in Miami, where they take refuge in the apartment of Deb, who Sara went to med school with. Deb's not in town. They longingly look at the photos on the wall of Deb's normal life. Sara goes into the bathroom and finally lets the exhaustion show. She then rifles through the medicine cabinet and takes something. Michael and Sara look over the mysterious code they took from their abductor. If "I10R4AZMS" means "I-10 near Route 4 in Arizona, Michael Scofield," then what does "B2348ROCKWELL1630VS" mean? Who is "VS"? We see a man with the initials "VS" monogrammed on his suitcase. Meanwhile, Mahone is trying to trace the calls on the sniper's cell phone; it'll take at least an hour. Michael texts Linc asking to meet. Linc, emotionally recalling the day Michael promised to get him out of Fox River, nevertheless refuses to go.
Christina is practicing her Bengali dialect when Downey informs her that Linc got away. She sighs, then tells him that they're a day away from an event so powerful and rare that it'll be like a supernova. Increase her security and deal with Linc if he tries to interfere. Meanwhile, Mahone meets with Michael and Sara and asks them to trust him with whatever information they have. He still wants to take down the Company. Michael won't tell him anything. Afterwards, Michael realizes that Christina must have wanted him and Sara transported somewhere, but not killed. An act of kindness, perhaps. But it doesn't change anything. The fact that she thrived within the Company, at his and Linc's expense, makes him want to take them down even more. Time to head for where the code points them: Rockwell Avenue, South Miami.
Linc, Mahone, Self and T-Bag track the sniper's phone calls to the Indian Embassy, where they see Christina entering. They have to get in, now. T-Bag distracts the guard, handcuffing himself to the gates and pretending to be an activist for elephant's rights while the others slip over the wall. They text T-Bag that they're in and he uncuffs himself, and is promptly arrested and bundled into a black van. The others manage to break into the Embassy's back door just as the security camera swings around to where they were standing. Meanwhile, Christina meets with Naveen Banerjee, and offers him the revolutionary technology contained in Scylla - solar cells, quick desalinization, hardy genetically-engineered crops that could grow anywhere. To purchase this technology, he just needs to agree to present it as his own at tomorrow's Progressive Engergies conference. Naveen is hesitant; Dr. Vincent Sandinsky, who is also speaking at the conference, thinks that proof of the "Bargain" theory's practical application is shaky. He doesn't want to look like a fool if the technology doesn't work. Christina tells him that she's sure this technology will sell to someone, and that his father would have taken the offer. Downey quietly hands Christina a post-it note that says "Sandinsky on schedule." She tells Naveen not to worry about Sandinsky. He says he needs a moment to think about it.
Michael and Sara break into a town car they find in Section B23 of a parking lot at 48 Rockwell. Inside is a cell phone, cash, directions to a local airport, and a gun. The 1630 in the code is military time; the plans of "VS" will arrive at 4:30pm. Back at the Embassy, Linc, Self and Mahone are caught and apprehended. Downey tells Christina they need to leave; Lincoln's in the building. Naveen returns and says he'll take the deal. She thanks him and leaves, leaving the post-it note behind. Meanwhile, Linc, Self and Mahone have been left alone, not even locked up. They realize that Christina can't risk an incident; nobody's going to kill them. An Embassy guard finds them, but they say they're with Christina and are allowed to leave. The guard gives them the post-it note that was left behind. As Christina and Downey get in their car, Christina calls Morris to check on his status. In the town car, Michael answers the phone. Christina hangs up. And Michael's even more grittily determined than ever.
Self, Mahone and Linc return to their loft to find T-Bag, who has been badly beaten. He's unimpressed with the post-it note and rages that they should have just told Krantz everything. Self calls the Company to get a bead on Sandinsky. Meanwhile, Michael and Sara arrive at the airport. Sara takes another oddly emotional bathroom break, then rejoins Michael. It's 4:03pm. Sara pretends to want to learn to fly to distract the guy at the desk while Michael grabs the flight log to find out who "VS" is. As he scans the names, a sinister black Range Rover pulls up outside and two burly men get out. Michael finds the name "Vincent Sandinsky" as they approach the building. He then pulls a gun on a airport tech and makes him have Sandinsky's plane land on the north end of the tarmac and to have security let Sara onto the tarmac. As the passengers disembark, Sara calls Dr. Sandinsky's name. He turns... and Michael forces him at gunpoint into the town car. The plane's pilot sees this and calls security. Michael and Sara speed off as the Range Rover speeds towards them. Another Range Rover cuts them off; they're trapped in between. Christina's thugs grab Sandinsky and are about to shoot Michael and Sara when they are shot by Mahone, who has just arrived with Self and Linc. They pile Sandinsky into their SUV. Michael and Linc face off. Linc says he's doing what's best for their family. Michael tells him to keep telling himself that.
Back at the loft, T-Bag examines the picture of his mother the Company sent him. There's also a Company business card with his name and the title "Special Liaison," with the message, "This is what's waiting for you when you get back." T-Bag finally breaks down and calls Krantz and tells him that Christina has Scylla. Krantz hangs up before he can say any more and tells his number two, Ralph, to fuel up the jet for a trip to Miami. Later, Sandinsky is bundled into the room. He claims not to know who Christina Scofield is, the Company or Scylla. He's a professor at Dartmouth, specializing in sustainable energies. He just wanted to get out of New Hampshire for a bit and was offered airfare to speak at the conference. They look for his phone, but Michael and Sara have already lifted it. They find that he's been EMailing Christina constantly; they were working together. Sara runs into the bathroom, looking sick. She takes out the object she took earlier; it's a pregnancy test. And it's reading "positive." A flood of emotions wash over her.
Michael calls the last number called on Sandinsky's cell phone. Christina picks up. "How badly do you want him, Mom?" asks Michael. Christina, caught off guard, doesn't know what to say. Michael tells her he'll be in touch, then hangs up. And back at the loft, Self says that Sandinsky's story checks out. Mahone promises that they'll let him go soon. Sandinsky thanks them, and then smiles a private grin. He's got them fooled.

Even lower ratings?
Ok, according to tvbythenumbers.com, Prison Break ratings are at an all time low. Remember the last episode this past December before the hiatus? well that episode only pulled in about 4.8 viewers.
Prison Break's first episode for this spring only pulled in 3.39 million viewers. At one point, this show use to bring in ABOUT 12 million viewers every week and now it's gone down to 3.39? WOW!!! I don't think this "Dr. Sarah" having a baby is helping out too much either. I don't know, that just doesnt seem prison break-like to me. I am amazed (but not surprised) at how much the numbers have dropped. It went from being nominated for a golden globe award to being canceled and only having 3 million viewers... OUCH!!
Somewhere along the line, the writers screwed up. Don't get me wrong, they are very talented and have kept the show running for 4 years but the ratings kept declining. I think they tested our patience for too long with the story line and the viewers just lost patience with where the story was leading to. Now we brought back the dead, added a baby to the picture and broke in and out of prisons as we pleased... I mean... really! No wonder the show got canceled. I am not trashing the show at all so please don't take it the wrong way, I am just pointing out what might have led to such low ratings and cancellation. what's your take on it?

Cool stuff about tonight's epi
Here's a little write up from TV Guide: Hiring a sniper to shoot one of your own sons? That's mommy-dearest behavior for sure, and Christina's "security" guys will go after both Lincoln and Michael tonight. But with a handful of episodes left to go, our guys should live to fight another day. Against each other. Linc, T-Bag and Self are working for Pad Man, while Michael and Sara are not. As for Pad Man, he might be suddenly vulnerable, but that doesn't make him any less vicious. And he'll be on his way to Miami, too. —Paul Droesc
I found this on SpoilerTV & thought it was really cool! This guy, Jim Wagner, a self-defense instructor, visited the set of PB on January 6 & met some of the cast & crew, including Wentworth! The photos below are from his website! His experience is below as well!
Prison Break
Jim Wagner
On January 6 I had the privilege spending the day at the 20th Century Fox Studios in Southern California and watching the filming of an episode of the popular television series titled Prison Break and meeting with several key people in the film industry.
I was invited to the set by Reality-Based Personal Protection enthusiast, and long time martial artist and former bouncer, Butch Pierson who had been reading my column in Black Belt magazine for years. Butch and I had hooked up several months ago to set up an upcoming Southern California Level 1 Reality-Based Personal Protection seminar for 2009. He will also be assisting me in the making of some more RBPP DVDs.
While I was on set I had the opportunity to meet Eric Norris, the son of legendary martial artist and actor Chuck Norris, who was working as a stunt coordinator. I met the director and producer of Prison Break, some of the crew, and two of the actors: Wentworth Miller and Sarah Wayne Callies. During one of the breaks Sarah and I had a lengthy conversation about self-defense and knives. Her husband, Josh Winterhalt, is an avid martial artist who studies the Russian system of Systema. After our talk I gave her my own Jim Wagner Reality-Based Blade. I also had a brief opportunity to talk with Wentworth who I found to be a very nice guy.
One of the reasons that Butch invited me to the Fox Studios was for me to get some technical information about stage sets, lighting, and special effects to incorporate into RBPP scenario training. Plus, in Level 2 I have an entire class devoted to making training more realistic in the Scenario Training course. I was able to get a wealth of information from Butch and those I talked with.
Prison Break has been running since August 29, 2005 with an estimated audience of 10.5 million viewers when it first aired. The show was a huge success for Fox, and continues to get good ratings. The show that I saw filmed, Episode #418 “VS,” should air in about five weeks.

While I was on set I had the opportunity to meet Eric Norris, the son of legendary martial artist and actor Chuck Norris, who was working as a stunt coordinator. I met the director and producer of Prison Break, some of the crew, and two of the actors: Wentworth Miller and Sarah Wayne Callies. During one of the breaks Sarah and I had a lengthy conversation about self-defense and knives. Her husband, Josh Winterhalt, is an avid martial artist who studies the Russian system of Systema. After our talk I gave her my own Jim Wagner Reality-Based Blade. I also had a brief opportunity to talk with Wentworth who I found to be a very nice guy.
One of the reasons that Butch invited me to the Fox Studios was for me to get some technical information about stage sets, lighting, and special effects to incorporate into RBPP scenario training. Plus, in Level 2 I have an entire class devoted to making training more realistic in the Scenario Training course. I was able to get a wealth of information from Butch and those I talked with.
Prison Break has been running since August 29, 2005 with an estimated audience of 10.5 million viewers when it first aired. The show was a huge success for Fox, and continues to get good ratings. The show that I saw filmed, Episode #418 “VS,” should air in about five weeks.

The walking the dog thing is new! Poor baby, especially with his allergies!
"Acting, for me, is an excuse to do & say inappropriate things." I like that comment =)
Lu Yu sat soooooooo far away from him! I would have been an inch away!
