Wentworth Miller & Robert Knepper Interview
Wentworth Miller - Michael Scofield
Re: the finale reunites Michael and Lincoln with some old friends
“In the finale we see a couple of very familiar faces, people we thought were gone for good but clearly were not, but we’re glad to see them. I mean as actors you miss cast members who fall by the wayside for one reason or another and I think that the people we do get to say hello to and catch up with were, were fixtures the first season and second season, people whose presence was felt and was definitely missed after they were gone.”
Re: knowing this season was going to be "Prison Break's" last
It’s very rare the show goes out on its own terms, you know, when you hear the word cancelled most of the time that means, you know, someone’s gonna pull the plug and the lights go out and everyone goes home. But we were able to finish out the season and that gave the writers time to address all the loose ends and really pull things together in a way that I hope is thrilling and satisfying for an audience that’s been paying their dues if you will for four years. I think they deserve a really good send off and that’s what we’re working hard to give ‘em.
Re: what we can expect from the series finale
When I think of the last episode I think there were definitely some surprises and some, some, some really electric unexpected moments. Again the show continues to surprise me in that we are a network show but we do things that you’d expect to see on cable, say, and not everyone gets a happy ending and I think some people might be taken aback by that but I think it’s also very true to the story that we’ve been telling all along. In a sense the story can only end one way and I’m really pleased that the writers and the cast and crew and everyone involved in the show have the cajones to really see it through.
Re: why he's loved the "Prison Break" storyline
“It’s not a procedural drama. It’s not the same beats season after season. We intentionally throw out everything that we know works and reinvent ourselves every fall and we take risks like nobody else and I think by and large they’ve all paid off and the, the important side effect is that it keeps things interesting and new and fresh for the actors involved.”
Robert Knepper - Theodore 'T-Bag' Bagwell
Re: How did it feel to film the final episodes?
“Like I’ll never forget the day, the last day I knew was going to shoot with Dom & Wentworth; I mean that was a really emotional day for the three of us. They still had another day with the two of them but that was the day that I would never work with them again, with these characters. And we hugged each other and it was very emotional, close experience as well as the words that poured back and forth between us of telling each other how much we respected each other and what an amazing ride it’s been for four years, stuff like that, it was just sweet. And then, to say goodbye to this crew, it’s been an amazing ride. You could just go through these jobs, I suppose, and say well you know here’s the end of this job and off we go to the next one, but this one you can’t really do that. You wouldn’t be somebody I’d want to work with for instance because you can’t be bitter about these things. This was four years of our lives, I mean, I looked at my kid the other day and I went, I’ve been doing this show more than half of his lifetime, four years, he’s almost seven. Every day that I went to work was a joy because you just realized I am so thankful for this great gig, this incredible character, the fact that it’s internationally so popular, it was a new adventure everyday. So, the bitter part of it, the sad part of it for me was yeah that it’s over, the sweet part about it is that we always appreciated everyday and it was a great lesson I think for all of us to just say this is a great way to live your life…never take it for granted, always appreciate it and keep giving back what’s been given to you and that’s how we lived ours lives on this show.”
Re: Reflects on his character & what he loves about T-Bag
“Even on a simpler level, he just doesn’t give up, this guy never was a quitter and that’s one of the things I loved about this character. If he hadn’t had all these other terrible things happen to him as a kid, if he hadn’t committed all these terrible crimes, he’d be a great role model, but unfortunately he’s got the baggage and you have to pay for these things in life. He never gives up; he will do and say anything to survive, up until the last moment that you see him in the story. I’m not going to give it away but he doesn’t lie down and take it, he figures out a way to survive.”
Re: The reunion of old characters in the finale
“I think it was a great homecoming and I think the audience will feel the same way. The other cool thing about it is when you have a family reunion like that you know that there’s going to be a big change involved. In this case, the change was this is the end. This is the end of this show, this is wrapping it up in that book end kind of feeling of characters that we all grew to love over the years and here we are bringing them back. It was amazing; it brought back all these memories of being together in Chicago when we all started and we, yeah again, four years…a lot’s happened to all of us, it’s made our careers, it’s made our lives totally different. None of us can walk down the streets anymore without causing a little bit of a fuss and just to see these guys again after that first year when we basically were kids, kids with our characters. And just to see, you know, Amaury I hadn’t seen for awhile and Rockmund I hadn’t seen and especially Rock, it’s like hey man how are you? And we love each other you know with our characters always hate each other and there’s all these racial things going back and forth between the two characters but he’s the salt of the earth and I love working with him and he’s funny that always passes the times really well. And Papi, Amaury, it’s like seeing your brother, it doesn’t take too long to get back on your feet with somebody like that cause he’s just always right there, it’s terrific. And I think the audience is going to love the fact that these enemies come back together. These guys who were friends and then with T-Bag with enemies so it should be a fun reunion for everybody.”
Re: What he thought of the ending, finale?
“I remember calling up Matt on the phone and saying, I’m just curious, I never call you up, I never discuss what’s the next script or anything but I’m kind of curious where you’re thinking we’re going to go with T-Bag. Is he going to be like Hannibal Lecter and just walk off into the sunset in this nice, late Panamanian suit, hat and stuff. Or, is he going to be killed, is he going to walk off a cliff, is he going to drown, is he…I mean there were so many choices, again I’m not going to give it away because it’d be like, you know, I used to say this years ago it’d be like giving a Christmas present too early. As much as people want to know, they don’t want to know they want to experience it by watching it, there’s nothing like that. I was very happy, I was very happy with how they ended it, I think it’s beautifully done all the characters are wrapped up. I was very happy how they ended it for T-Bag, it was really kind of a book end kind of feel that you, certain things in that scene that re reminiscent of when you first saw T-Bag four years ago. These sort of gestures and body language that are so much part of the character that the fans will always associate with this guy

Will the Series Finale disappoint?
Here's an article I found on SpoilerTV & while I don't like posting negatives about one of my favorite TV shows, I find this interesting. I read the spoilers & still am surprised every week. From what I've read in the spoilers I've posted, it's going to be a very exciting/emotional ending on Friday & the 2 hour DVD will add to it! So I can't wait. Everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion so that's why I decided to play devil's advocate & post this! Just know the opinions are not that of SoHo Meets SoLo LOL! No real spoilers, hence no spoiler button.
t always seemed like the worst thing that could happen with a television series was for it to end without a proper finale.
There may be something worse.
The two-hour series finale of "Prison Break," to air at 8 p.m. Friday, wraps up events that have unfolded during the show's four-year run on Fox. But the ending is grossly unsatisfying.
"Prison Break's" first season was masterful. It featured a complicated story line about genius brother Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) getting himself tossed in jail to help his brother, Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell). Each week built tension.
That first season of "Prison Break" was television at its finest.
Then the brothers escaped and the quality began to fade until eventually the series ended up in a muddled mess of backstabbing in this fourth and final season.
While this past year has been a chore to watch because of the illogical twists and turns, the promise of a proper finale was appealing.
Fox has asked that no specific details of the two-hour finale be revealed. Fine. It would be unfair to take away the fun that comes with each revelation.
It is safe to say that the battle between the brothers and their psychotic mother (Kathleen Quinlan) is wrapped up. More mercifully, the silly battle over the device known as Scylla comes to an end.
And the fate of all of the supporting cast is revealed. There are even a few surprises. You'll just have to watch to find out the details.
The fact there is a final chapter to "Prison Break" is great. It is the epilogue to that ending that is so infuriating.
Television viewers are asked to invest in characters. We grow to like them. That relationship is important for a show to keep going past a few episodes. This finale makes me wish I had stopped watching "Prison Break" after the first season.
What happens is hard to explain without giving away key plot points. All I can say is it is a slap in the face. It's criminal when a series that started so strong leaves viewers with such an unappealing ending.

Episode 4.20 Cowboys and Indians Recap
Michael and Lincoln, trapped in the hotel, make a run for it once spotted by the local police, led by Captain Hutchinson. They are trapped in the kitchen area. Michael calls Mahone and says that Scylla's gone; they need help getting out. Self gets on the line and says they need to get over to the other side of the hotel, to a loading dock where there's only one cop; Self can take him out. Their only hope is to find rooftop access. Michael gives Mahone the address where Sara is holding Christina and tells him to go there and find out where Scylla is. Linc grabs the phone and tells Mahone he doesn't care what he does to Christina; just make her cooperate. Meanwhile, Krantz is frustrated. T-Bag volunteers to go to the hotel and kill the brothers before they can talk to authorities. Krantz is skeptical, but T-Bag says not to underestimate him. Krantz won't go for it; he sends Ralph instead. Back at the hotel, Michael swipes a universal room key card from a maid's cart. They're spotted by Hutchinson, but manage to duck into a stairwell. Hutchinson has the hotel manager override all the locks. Michael and Linc run up to the top floor, the 16th. They can't take the stairs to the roof because it'll trigger the fire alarms and the cops will find them before they can find the laundry vent. They need to get out via the duct work. But the key card won't work. Michael realizes they've been locked out. Can't go up, can't go down. They're trapped.
Christina watches a news report, which says that a wire transfer has been found from Chinese operatives to Michael and Linc. She compliments Downey for his work on the fake Chinese documents. Christina is still sorrowful that Michael's going to take a fall, but Downey says he made his choice. At the hotel, Michael calls Don and tells him he needs to find out the cops' plan of attack. Don approaches Hutchinson, flashing his Homeland Security badge and demanding to know what they're doing. Hutchinson is annoyed, but says they're planning on gassing the brothers out floor by floor; they're using a colorless, odorless gas. Back at the townhouse, Mahone finds and frees the tied-up Sara. They bring each other up to date. Sara wants to go to the hotel and help, but Mahone forbids it. He tells her to run, but she insists on staying put so Michael can find her. Of course, so can Christina, but that's a risk she's willing to take.
Christina meets with Nandu Banerjee, the Indian Prime Minister, and the late Naveen Banerjee's father. He is wrathful, and wants to buy the Scylla technology to wage war with the Chinese as vengeance for his son's death. Christina pretends reluctance, then gives in and agrees to the sale. Meanwhile, Homeland Security agent Darrin Hooks arrives at the hotel and is taken aback to find that he's the second Homeland Security agent arriving on the scene. Don Self, so far as he knows, is dead. Back at the loft, Krantz realizes that Christina is reigniting the 1962 China/India border war. She'll profit from the coming war by offering services to transport troops, get them food and water in harsh conditions, and other military applications of Scylla. Everybody will want to buy the Scylla technology. Mahone enters and wonders why Krantz never did it. Krantz says that a war involving Indian will drag in Pakistan, then Russia, then Europe, then the U.S. It'll be a global apocalypse, and Christina's just too prideful and unstable to accept that.
The gas sweeps have reached the 8th floor. Michael has Linc stuff air conditioner aerosol cans into rolls of toilet paper. Michael works frantically with a shoe horn and a nail clipper from a hotel toiletry kit. Downstairs, Ralph shoots his way past the single guard at the loading dock, while elsewhere, Hooks runs into Self. Self claims his death was faked and that he's working covert ops, but Hooks doesn't buy it. Self at least tries to tell him that the brothers are being set up, but Hooks isn't listening. Self disarms him and they engage in a savage fistfight. A box full of cutlery overturns and Self grabs a knife and kills Hooks. Upstairs, Michael's prised a wire free from a door lock. Self calls; he's at the loding dock and seen the body of the cop, which means somebody else is coming after them. Michael cuts the wire. The hotel manager reports a room breach on the 16th floor. The cops are scrambled upstairs. Linc piles the aerosol-stuffed TP rolls into the mini-fridge, then sprays them down with air freshener. Michael tells him to make sure the door's shut; they need the pressure to build. As the cops can be heard on the stairwell, Michael signals Linc to set the TP on fire and then close the fridge door. The brothers hide as two cops arrive. The cops are blown off their feet when the mini-fridge explodes. Hutchinson runs up the stairs to find his two men running downstairs, saying they were booby-trapped and made a run for the roof. However, Hutchinson senses something isn't right. He runs back down after the two and orders them to stop and take off their masks. It's really Michael and Linc, who stole the cops' uniforms and gas masks. They're caught. Suddenly, Hutchinson is shot dead... by Ralph, who is there to take Michael and Linc back to Krantz.
Krantz says it's time to keep one of his promises. He puts three names in a bowl, then draws one randomly: Self. His wife will die for their failure. This is Self's secret: his beautiful young wife has been a vegetable for years because of Self's drunk driving. Self became embittered that his government medical benefits only just barely kept her alive in a county hospital, and planned to sell Scylla to he and his wife could slip away forever. Self begs for mercy, but, over speaker phone, he hears her being shot dead by a Company agent. Krantz then orders Ralph to kill Self. Self makes a run for it, and jumps off the balcony and into the waters below. He does not resurface. Meanwhile, Christina finishes her dealings with Nandu and tells Downey to contact China. Downey advises against playing both sides of this coin, but Christina insists. Michael realizes that Christina's going to want to confirm her money is safely overseas before leaving town; find the money, they find her; it must be at the local Federal Reserve signatory bank. Indeed, Christina is at the bank, making a $10,000 withdrawal to make sure the account is set up properly and the millions are there. It'll take 30 minutes to do the paperwork. That gives Michael and Linc enough time to arrive and pretend to be bank robbers. They take Scylla from Downey at gunpoint. "Hi mom," deadpans Linc as they leave. Michael and Mahone get away, but Linc is trapped and caught by Christina and Downey, who knock him out and abcut him. Meanwhile, Don, his leg fractured, crawls out of the water at the wharf. Two kids see him. One runs off to call 911; Don weakly begs them not to call anybody before passing out. And at the loft, Krantz says he needs leverage over Michael. T-Bag has checked Mahone's car and gotten the last visited address from his GPS. Krantz sends him there, and T-Bag finds and abducts Sara. Krantz calls Michael and puts Sara on the line for a moment; he tells Michael to bring him Scylla, or this time, Sara's death won't be faked. A moment later, the phone rings again. It's Christina. She shoots Linc and grazes his lung, giving him two hours to live unless he gets medical attention... which he won't get unless Michael brings her Scylla. Michael, anguished, is frozen, faced with an impossible decision.
Christina watches a news report, which says that a wire transfer has been found from Chinese operatives to Michael and Linc. She compliments Downey for his work on the fake Chinese documents. Christina is still sorrowful that Michael's going to take a fall, but Downey says he made his choice. At the hotel, Michael calls Don and tells him he needs to find out the cops' plan of attack. Don approaches Hutchinson, flashing his Homeland Security badge and demanding to know what they're doing. Hutchinson is annoyed, but says they're planning on gassing the brothers out floor by floor; they're using a colorless, odorless gas. Back at the townhouse, Mahone finds and frees the tied-up Sara. They bring each other up to date. Sara wants to go to the hotel and help, but Mahone forbids it. He tells her to run, but she insists on staying put so Michael can find her. Of course, so can Christina, but that's a risk she's willing to take.
Christina meets with Nandu Banerjee, the Indian Prime Minister, and the late Naveen Banerjee's father. He is wrathful, and wants to buy the Scylla technology to wage war with the Chinese as vengeance for his son's death. Christina pretends reluctance, then gives in and agrees to the sale. Meanwhile, Homeland Security agent Darrin Hooks arrives at the hotel and is taken aback to find that he's the second Homeland Security agent arriving on the scene. Don Self, so far as he knows, is dead. Back at the loft, Krantz realizes that Christina is reigniting the 1962 China/India border war. She'll profit from the coming war by offering services to transport troops, get them food and water in harsh conditions, and other military applications of Scylla. Everybody will want to buy the Scylla technology. Mahone enters and wonders why Krantz never did it. Krantz says that a war involving Indian will drag in Pakistan, then Russia, then Europe, then the U.S. It'll be a global apocalypse, and Christina's just too prideful and unstable to accept that.
The gas sweeps have reached the 8th floor. Michael has Linc stuff air conditioner aerosol cans into rolls of toilet paper. Michael works frantically with a shoe horn and a nail clipper from a hotel toiletry kit. Downstairs, Ralph shoots his way past the single guard at the loading dock, while elsewhere, Hooks runs into Self. Self claims his death was faked and that he's working covert ops, but Hooks doesn't buy it. Self at least tries to tell him that the brothers are being set up, but Hooks isn't listening. Self disarms him and they engage in a savage fistfight. A box full of cutlery overturns and Self grabs a knife and kills Hooks. Upstairs, Michael's prised a wire free from a door lock. Self calls; he's at the loding dock and seen the body of the cop, which means somebody else is coming after them. Michael cuts the wire. The hotel manager reports a room breach on the 16th floor.
