Quotes 

• Jacob Anton Ness : If you're planning something, I'll always be a step ahead of you. You know that. I can see everything in your eyes.

  Michael Scofield : It's what's behind the eyes that counts, Professor.

  Jacob Anton Ness : Hmm.

  Michael Scofield : So you're gonna wait a year for me to find my way out of Sittwe? Or are you gonna get me a partner, so we can get on with the business of changing the world?

  Jacob Anton Ness : [handing the envelope back]  Done.

• Jacob Anton Ness : I own you, Scofield. I know everything about you. Even your most mundane actions, like the zoo. What's with you and the zoo?

  Michael Scofield : I go there to think.

  Jacob Anton Ness : Eighteen times in the past month? A lot of thinking.

  Michael Scofield : I was figuring out how to get your guy out of Barranquilla.

  Jacob Anton Ness : Hmm.

  Michael Scofield : Turns out he's not just a rebel leader; he's a murderous sociopath.

  Jacob Anton Ness : That's the only way to make omelets.

  Michael Scofield : I need to know more about our targets. If I'm facilitating escapes, we can't have surprises.

  Jacob Anton Ness : Be proud. You and me, we're changing the world.

  Michael Scofield : Doesn't make it right.

  Jacob Anton Ness : Don't act like you're suddenly a fan of the status quo, okay? The system, it's slow, stupid, and doomed to fail. That's why you had to bust your brother out in the first place.

• Jacob Anton Ness : New ink since the last time I saw you. Working on a new plan?

  Michael Scofield : No. No new plan. Just get tired of looking at empty skin.

  Jacob Anton Ness : Uh-huh. You know, it was those tats at Fox River that caught my eye in the first place. I had to know everything about the man who wore his plans on his skin. In plain sight, yet so mysterious.

• Michael Scofield : Next time I'm sitting in solitary, I'll think of you in here, running the world in air-conditioned comfort.

  Jacob Anton Ness : I've spent my time in the field. You all set for Myanmar? It's only a few weeks off.

  Michael Scofield : [handing him an envelope]  That's why I'm here. I want to bring someone on board.

  Jacob Anton Ness : Oh, really?

  Michael Scofield : The prison camp at Sittwe is a two-man job. I've been watching this guy. He'll be useful.

  Jacob Anton Ness : Watching him? You in charge of recruting now?

  Michael Scofield : Trust me, the last thing I want to do is suck someone else into this. He'll have my back and he'll speed things up, increase our odds.

  Jacob Anton Ness : [opening the envelope, he sees a dossier on Whip]  Not exactly a distinguished career.

  Michael Scofield : He's held up well in prison and he's got a mean streak. And he grew up without a family. It means he can be manipulated.

• Michael Scofield : [receiving a text]  Linc, it's Sara. She's back in New York.

  Lincoln Burrows : [Michael texts as they talk]  Are she and Mike okay?

  Michael Scofield : That's what I'm trying to find out.

  Lincoln Burrows : [seeing Michael's expression change]  What is it, Michael?

  Michael Scofield : Something's wrong.

• Michael Scofield : I got to get back to the States.

  Lincoln Burrows : Slow down. You're Kaniel Outis, remember? You're on every no-fly list in the world.

  Michael Scofield : Jacob's done something to Sara. Maybe Mike, too.

  Lincoln Burrows : How do you know?

  Michael Scofield : That text. She referred to our son as "Junior". We agreed we'd never call him that.

  Lincoln Burrows : He's baiting you, Michael.

  Michael Scofield : It worked.

• Michael Scofield : I've tried everyone. I'm out of resources in the States. All my contacts. People who can go and check on them, make sure they're okay. Linc, I got to get home. I can't spend another two weeks on a cargo ship. He's got my wife and kid.

  Lincoln Burrows : There may be another way. You told me about the last seven years of your life. Haven't told you about mine. After Sara got exonerated, she left Panama. Me and Sofia stayed behind and opened a dive shop. We broke up, and everything went to hell. You weren't there to stop me, so before I knew it, I was in the old hood, doing odd jobs.

  Michael Scofield : Odd jobs meaning what?

  Lincoln Burrows : Moving things from point "A" to point "B". For Luca Abruzzi.

  Michael Scofield : John Abruzzi's son.

  Lincoln Burrows : Yeah. I just wanted some quick cash to kick-start my life. They told me not to look in the boxes. But I looked in the boxes. The amount of fentanyl they're smuggling out of Europe, tens of thousands of pills in every box, it's just killing people. So I dumped a box in a dumpster, hundred grand's worth.

  Michael Scofield : Now you're in hock to Abruzzi's son.

  Lincoln Burrows : Yeah. He wants to kill me. But maybe it's a way to get back to the States real fast.

• Luca : You got balls, Burrows. You actually think I want to help you?

  Lincoln Burrows : What if I can get you the $100K?

  Luca : $100K? How are you gonna come up with that? Crawling around the back alleys of Chicago?

  Lincoln Burrows : I'm not in Chicago. I'm in Marseilles.

  Luca : Marseilles?

  Lincoln Burrows : Yeah. I've been working on a couple deals. I got $100K in my hand. But I want off the hook.

  Luca : Sure you do. How about you get over here and hand it to me?

  Lincoln Burrows : That's why I'm calling. I need to sneak into the States invisible, like your pills. Those flights you got coming out of Europe - the fentanyl flights - I need a few seats.

  Luca : I'll tell you what. I'll make a few calls. 'Cause either I'm gonna see you and get that money, or I'm gonna see you and you're gonna get something a whole lot worse.

  Lincoln Burrows : [Luca hangs up]  I can't believe I'm doing this to myself again.

  Michael Scofield : Difference is this time you're not alone.

• Lincoln Burrows : It's impressive how you get these drugs in the country just by bribing small-time airport officials. I'm guessing you got about five million bucks' worth of fentanyl in here.

  Luca : So what? You and your brother here are gonna lecture me?

  Lincoln Burrows : We were actually debating on whether I should give you the $100K or not. He says it's blood money. I agree.

  Luca : How about you just shut up and pay me, Burrows?

  Lincoln Burrows : I don't have it.

  Luca : [to his soldiers]  Grab his guys, bring 'em to to the back and shoot 'em.

  Michael Scofield : I don't think you want to add murder to your arrest warrant.

  Luca : Wait. Arrest warrant?

  Michael Scofield : [nodding to C-Note outside]  That guy out there is a DEA informant. We have him in our pocket. He owes us. He's got three vans full of agents that are waiting for his call. They're gonna rain down on you and your pills. Unless you forgive my brother's debt. Then our informant won't make the call.

• Benjamin Miles 'C-Note' Franklin : You have no idea how happy I am to see you back home.

  Michael Scofield : We're not home yet.

  Benjamin Miles 'C-Note' Franklin : All right, so what's next? How do we get this son of a bitch?

  Michael Scofield : "We" don't do anything. Your part is over.

  Benjamin Miles 'C-Note' Franklin : No, no, no, no, no, no.

  Michael Scofield : Tricking Abruzzi's kid is one thing. Poseidon, he knows your face. Been tracking you since you went to Yemen. You've been a warrior, and I owe you. But your face is a liability now to you and your family. I don't want you to risk that.

  Sheba : They may know his face, but they don't know mine. It's the punch you don't see coming that knocks you out.

  Benjamin Miles 'C-Note' Franklin : That's my Sheba.

• Lincoln Burrows : What are you doing?

  [seeing Michael texting] 

  Lincoln Burrows : That's not Sara, Michael.

  Michael Scofield : He doesn't know I know that.

  [texting back and forth] 

  Michael Scofield : That's the right answer. She's alive. He must be right there with her. I'm gonna set a meeting.

  Lincoln Burrows : And what, you're just gonna show up and show your face?

  Michael Scofield : Yes. That means Poseidon has to show his face, too. And the endgame begins.

• Michael Scofield : [decoding a stenographic message from Mike]  Linc? I got it. This ship, this galleon. The body of water it's on. I looked at the map. There's a lake, a lake shaped exactly like it, up in the Finger Lakes district. Long Lake. This "X" would be on the east shore of that lake. He's telling us where he is.

  Lincoln Burrows : I'm trying to figure out if you lost your mind or not.

  Michael Scofield : There's only one way to find out.

  Lincoln Burrows : [stopping Sheba as she moves to follow them]  Uh-uh.

  Sheba : What?

  Lincoln Burrows : You're going back to Buffalo.

  Sheba : What?

  Lincoln Burrows : I want you to be with your family, look after the refugees.

  Sheba : Linc, I'm a part of this fight, too...

  [he kisses her] 

  Sheba : What was that?

  Lincoln Burrows : It's goodbye. I could never forgive myself if something happened to you.
