Episode 413 "Deal or No Deal" Airdate: 2008-12-01
Episode 414 "Just Business" promo & sneak peek coming up next (airs Dec. 8, 2008)!
Last week:
Feng & his men were killed by Self & Miriam, AKA Trishanne. TBag & Gretchen shot it out at GATE, killing Mr. White before parting ways. TBag ended up captured by Miriam who was killed by Self who betrayed our beloved brothers & crew! Oh what a tangled web they weaved!
This week:
Michael is beyond pissed off & rightfully so. Self conned them & got away with Scylla. Michael decides to call DHS to find out what's going on, meanwhile Self decides to call them too. When his boss, Stanton gets on the phone, he pretends that he's been shot then fires off some rounds while he yells out Linc's name! So who do you think is getting framed... AGAIN! Tbag is sitting in the back of that car with the fear of God in him LOL!
When Michael finally gets someone on the phone, everybody is rattling off about whether or now Self & his office was legit from the beginning. Michael hangs up the phone & listens to Mahone sum it all up: Self was a dirty rat who played them all quite well! They know Self's office is coming for them & coming fast, so they've got to figure out how to get out of this mess!
General Krantz sits in his office thinking of how much damage has been done. He loses it just as one of his guys comes in to tell him it's time for the meeting. Scuderi blames the General for this little situation. He keeps rattling on and on so the General orders him to get out. Next thing you know, less than 5 minutes in... DEAD BODY! The General shoots the guy!!! Can't say I didn't see that coming LOL! Don't know how Scuderi didn't LOL! The General orders everyone to get to work... Lisa is devastated.
Michael stands in the bathroom at the warehouse & he's holding this computer chip. He goes to hide it when he gets another one of those dizzy spells. Lincoln comes in just in time to help him. He tells him that he needs medical attention but of course, Michael refuses because he wants to see this through. Lincoln says he talked to LJ, telling him that it was nearly over. He says they've gotta get out of there & they do: Homeland is coming! The gang makes it across the pier & watch as the Feds invade the warehouse. Stanton calls Mikey telling him he needs to get back there. Michael's like "yeah right... when you honor the agreement"! That's when Stanton drops the bomb that Self fed to him! Michael then realizes that this whole thing has been a puppet show & Self was pulling the strings!
Lincoln is ready to kill anybody & everybody & Sucre is ready to run, but Michael is trying to think it out. He's tired of running & hiding and wants to settle this. Tbag & Gretchen are both wanted now; their faces are on the news. The General is making plans to capture all of them but Lisa is still upset about her father shooting Scuderi. He threatens her, telling her that if she can't handle the job, she needs to let him know.
After shooting Trishanne, Self tells Tbag that he needs to find Gretchen and he asks if he's gonna help him or make him shoot him in the face! Tbag simply mutters "Help." LOL! He demands Tbag to tell him where Gretchen's sister lives. Then takes him along for the ride. They argue the WHOLE time!
Sara gives Michael the same shot she gave him when he went to break into the Company. She must have "upped" the dosage because it will last 8 hours this time; last time it was supposed to last only three hours. She wants him to get medical help so she encourages him to skip town & high tail it to Mexico but he wants to finish this thing with the Company. He tells her that he understands if this isn't what she wants.
Gretchen arrives at the place where Feng & his men lay dead. Linc calls her to tell her that Self is a Scylla-stealing rat & asks for her help in finding him. He makes it quite plain that if she screws him, she's dead! He tells her to meet them in one hour. As soon as they hang up, her sister, Rita, calls telling her that Emily's been in an accident (that's her daughter, remember). She can tell by the sound in Rita's voice that she's under duress so she tells her to tell whomever's holding her at gunpoint to "grow a set & get on the phone"! I love her, I swear I do. Of course Don Self is the setless person holding the gun LOL!
The guys know they shouldn't trust Gretchen but because they need her help, they have to. Precautions taken, they prepare to go to Grand Hope Park to meet her.
Senator Dallow & Agent Stanton meet about this mess of a mission. The senator advises Stanton that they can't keep this under wraps because it's turned into a manhunt. Suddenly, one of Krantz's men shows up; he's a US Marshall or is posing as one - Richard Sooter. He claims to be there to help, but we know better.
As the guys wait with binoculars & walkie talkies, Michael takes his position on a park bench to wait for Gretchen. Little do they know, she's being held up at her sister's house by Self & Tbag. Self disarms her & demands that she help him find a new buyer for Scylla. He checks her cell & sees that she's talked to Linc recently. She tries to deny knowing where they are but he threatens to harm her little girl. Tbag calls DHS to tell them where our beloved brothers & crew are. As they wait for Gretchn, Michael calls Stanton to ask if he will honor the original deal if he gets a hold of Self. Suddenly all these suits and sirens show up & Michael's running for his life! Linc drives the 4Runner into traffic, blocking them from getting to Michael so he can get away but he gets caught in the process! NOT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stanton & Sooter bring Linc back to the warehouse. He frantically explains what's happened & how Self has screwed them all. Stanton, taking it all in, seems to be believing him.
Michael & the others meet up to contact Gretchen. He tells her he should have put a bullet in her when he had the chance but she tells him that it wasn't her fault. She puts Self on the phone. He taunts Michael about them nearly getting caught & how he's going to get away with this then hangs up. Mahone wants to contact someone he knows in the Bureau who can help them, then the feds starting swarming the area again.
Self demands Gretchen tell him about the buyer. Some guy named Viking is who they plan to go see. He tells Tbag to stay with Rita & Emily while he & Gretchen go meet the guy. Rita is so furious with Gretchen that she slaps the spit out of her twice LOL! I felt bad for Gretchen because while she's one vile vixen, this time, it's really not her fault!
Senator Dallow tells Lincoln, who's still being held at the warehouse, that Self has an ID, offshore bank accounts, etc. that he has ready so he can get away once he sells Scylla. He apologizes to Linc & explains that for full immunity, they will need to testify about what Self has done. Linc isn't believing his ears! They already had a deal but that's now null and void. They want Michael & the others to come in to get this over with but Lincoln isn't buying all of this... I mean, honestly, why should he? They've been screwed three times to Wednesday since day one! Why should they trust anyone now? Dallow tells him if they don't, then it's prison for good, so Linc calls the gang to tell them what's going on.
The Senator basically begged Michael to come in so he comes up with a plan or two. He hands Sucre an address where he says he will meet the Senator. Michael tells him that he & Sara should go there to make sure everything is ok. He & Mahone are going to the warehouse to check things out there then they will meet them back at the address where they'll all get to iron this out with the Senator... hmm... something's fishy... I think Michael has something else in mind.
Sara tells Michael he reminds him of her dad... blah blah blah & that no matter what, she'll be there for him... this was in response to Michael telling her that she didn't have to stick around while he continues this battle with the Company. I hate mushy scenes LOL... moving on!
Gretchen sizes up Self while they sit waiting for Viking. I think she pissed him off a little because he jumps on his cell, calls Tbag & tells him: "take out your gun, point it at her head, pull back the hammer..." Tbag's wondering what the heck is going on & Gretchen is begging for Rita's life as she gets a text from Viking. She begs Self to calm down but he threatens that if he doesn't get his money & on a plane by the end of the day, she & her family will find out who he really is! He tells T that he'll call him back! This guy is crazy!
Sara & Sucre arrive at the location Michael sent them to, but it's a parking lot outside a bus station! Alex shows up & tells them that Michael is safe & they need to leave town. They wait inside the bus station & contemplate what could go wrong if they leave. Meanwhile, Michael shows up at the warehouse to testify against Self. Sooter, the Company agent, gets really antsy when he sees Michael.
Dallow & Stanton are outside talking about how much trouble they will be in when words gets out that they set up this operation without proper authorization. Stanton suggests, in so many words, that they kill Mikey & the gang so this whole deal doesn't' land them 15 years in prison. They go back inside & ask where the rest of the group is. Michael & Lincoln are adamant that their testimony alone is enough to put Self behind bars. Michael realizes that this is not going well & that they don't really want testimonies; they want them dead! Stanton pulls a gun on Mike & orders Sooter out of the warehouse. He cocks his gun, starts counting down then suddenly, four shots ring out! Stanton & the other man (the one who escorted Sooter out of the building) are both killed by Sooter! Of course he couldn't let Stanton kill them! If he did, how would the Company ever get to Scylla - THEY WANT IT BACK & they NEED the brothers!
Sucre & Sara make it back to the warehouse to find Mike, Linc & Senator Dallow being taken by Sooter. Sucre sneaks in, grabs a stashed gun & pulls it on Sooter. Lincoln grabs his gun & shoots him with it!!! He then turns the piece on the Senator who begs for his life, promising that he won't say a word. He tells Michael that he's the only other person besides Self that knows about the operation. He tells him to get the paperwork from the briefcase that can help them, so they let him go.
Gretchen & Self meet up with Viking. Don has this cocky attitude just because he has Scylla but Viking quickly brings him back down to earth by telling him that what they can do business when they get the REST of Scylla!!!!!!!! OMG! Remember that little chip I told you Michael had at the beginning of the show? Well he removed it when he sat at Padman's desk last week!! That Michael is one smart cookie, always thinking ahead! Just as Michael removes it from its bathroom hiding place, Self calls him to tell him that he has something that belongs to him! Michael tells him "come and get it"!!!!!!!!!! Is it just me or is this frickin' show getting better & BETTER?!?!?! Wait until you see the what happens next week!!!!
