Episode 18 " Threats "

Sara is watching how guards forcing Michael to step into the car. She tries to step forward in his direction but John still hold her back.

John (like a father talking with his child)

" Sara, please you know you can't do this. Your son needs you. I brought him to the hotel room. He is waiting for you. Come on. Michael is being able to handle this by his own. He got the rose message.

Remember!"

Sara (focused now)

" OK John, you are right. Our son needs me and I'm sure Michael never would forgive me when I risk my freedom with do something childish. It's just I miss him so much. We are together only for hours since I know he is alive. Oh John. Could you please tell me how this will end? Wasn't it enough pain we need to go through?"

John takes her in his arms. The feeling to be jealous about Michael owns the heart of this amazing woman again floating on him.

John (with a hoarse voice now)

" We need to go Sara. "

When she looks into his eyes, she recognizes the change in his sight.

Lisa was on her way home, when she recognize this scene. She tells the driver to stop for a moment. She watches how Michael is brought into the car. His face tells a story of loneliness and endless love.

" He will never take care about Scylla and the company as long Sara isn't safe, " she is thinking.

So she takes the phone and calls Paul. While waiting for him pick up the phone she is thinking about her feelings for Paul. From the first moment she meets him there was this strange connection between them and when things starts to become worse, whit all the threats and danger in the air, he was there to catch her.

Paul

" Hello Lisa, How are you Dear?"

It took Lisa a moment to recognize he is responding to her call.

Paul (now a bit worried)

" Lisa, are you there? Are you in trouble? How can I help you? "

His worried voice makes her come back. She shakes her head not thinking about he can't see this and answers after an, for Paul endless looking moment.

Lisa

" I'm fine, thanks. It's just because of Michael! Can't explain this on the phone. We need to meet!"

Paul (still not sure about she is ok)

" Ok than, half an hour secret flat. I'm on my way."

He hangs up without waiting for an answer. His secretary tries to hold him back when he is leaving his office much too fast.

Secretary

" Mr. Kellerman, where are you going to? Mayor Hendricks will be here in a few minutes for your appointment. "

Paul (hesitating for a moment)

" Tell him I'll be back soon, or better I'll come to his office when I'm finished. Maybe you make a call and try to stop him, before he is on the way. "

Than he is leaving the room fast. He doesn't hear the words his secretary calls after him.

Jason welcomes Michael back in prison with an n

" Wow! Never heard about a faster court. "

He wants to be funny, but the look of Michaels face makes him bit his tongue.

"What is be able to make a man looking this kind of sad and lonely. " he is thinking.

Michael is so much trapped in his thoughts, that he hasn't heard Jason speaking. He sits down on his bed. The rose is hidden in his hand. He has only one thought in his mind. SARA.

Noise from outside the cell pulls him out off his dreams.

Familiar sounding voice.

" He there is no need to push me forward. Get your hands off of me. "

Michael is thinking, " Could this be true." He stands up and goes for have a look.

The scene he is watching now makes him smile. A guard pushes a wildly gesticulating Sucre forward.

Sucre (angry)

" High risks for escaping, maximum security no bail. What the hell this judge was thinking when he made the decision. I'll complain to his boss. That is pure harassment. Don't touch me! I need to make a ca…. "

The words freeze in his mouth, when he finally recognizes a now laughing Michael.

Michael (still smiling)

" Now I know what I have missed inside here."

Sucre looks surprised and relieved at the same moment.

" Michael, Glad to see you here. Ah sorry off course it's not nice you are here, I only meant … You know. I would like to say …. "

He doesn't finish his sentences. He just drops his stuff on the floor and hugs Michael. Guard at first wants to hold him back, but seeing this crazy, nervy new inmate finally shut up let him close his eyes for a moment not thinking about this is out of the rules.

Alex

" Thank god you are here. "

He takes Felicia, who just arrived at the house in his arms. He kisses her very passionate. Than he lift his little Girl on his arm. He is so glad to have them back and they are all OK.

Mariacruz who was following Felicia stop movement for a while, She holds Linc's little Baby in her arms.

When Lila asking.

" Mummy, where is daddy?"

Tears come into her eyes. She goes down to her little girl and hugs her tender.

" He will be back soon, I promise. "

While Alex is going to the car to get the package out of it, the woman went into the house.

Jane is waiting inside. She tells them a warmly welcome. Her sight is on the little Baby in Mariacruz arms.

Jane (pointing on the Baby)

" If you don't mind?"

Mariacruz smiles and give the Baby to her .The change makes the Baby awake. Big bright green eyes, like her daddy has looking at Jane now. The little girl is smiling and her small hands touching Jane's face. Jane is thinking about her last conversation with Linc. It was the confession. Sure he never said one angry word or reproaches her , but he becomes so cold and repellent when he heard about her relationship with Downey.

" Oh Linc ! I love you so much " she is thinking. She doesn't recognize that she says it quietly, but loud enough that Steve, who just comes back from the court hear it. The sheet of paper, he ripped out of the entrance book in prison, burns like fire in his pocket.

Sucre goes around in his cell. His cellmate starts to become angry,

Prisoner (in my vision Michael Clarke Duncan)

" Sit down fish!"

Sucre answers

" Fish? You're calling me Fish. Go ahead! Maybe I was more often inside those walls as you can imagine. Just shut up!"

The cellmate was the whole time, since Sucre was brought into the cell lying on his bed.

So Sucre can't see much of him and doesn't know he picked up the wrong guy to bother.

This nervy little troublemaker pisses off, the cellmate. Slowly, very slowly he get out of his bed. Sucre is so much in excited by meet Michael as soon as the door will opens, that he didn't recognizes this. Cellmate now stands directly behind Sucre. His breath doesn't smell so good. So Sucre turns around willing to debate the ranking in the cell

Sucre (while turn around to his cellmate)

" You should start to clean your tooth….

Words are freezing in his mouth, when he finally needs to lift his head to looking into the eyes of the nearly 7 feet high man in front of him. (Imagine Sucre's face in this situation.) Fortunately this bear of a man is the most good-natured inmate in this prison, as long as no one annoying him. Sucre tries to step back but the grip is directly behind him. Sucre is now very worried. He tries to get out. Cold sweat runs down his neck.

"I'm a dead man"

Sucre is thinking, when the big guy move his hand in direction of his head. But Bear, this is how all other inmates call him, just put his finger on his mouth.

Bear (very quietly and with a deep gently voice)

" Just shut up Fish!"

Than he goes back into his bed, grape the book he was reading in and look for the site he stopped before.

Sucre can't move still breathing heavily. He needs put his hands on the grip not to fall at the floor.

High time to get out of here he is thinking, when finally the door opens. He moves so fast that he almost runs into Michael, who comes to his cell. First Michael goes to Bear and says quietly something to him. The big man comes down from his bed. Slowly again. It looks like this man never moves fast.

Bear

" Sure Michael, I'll take care. Why your stupid little mate doesn't tell he is a friend of you? I almost stamped him into the ground. "

Michael smiles imagine the situation Sucre was into, while Bear takes his book and a chair and positions himself in front of the cell.

Sucre (with a confused look in his face)

" You know him? You are a friend of him? "

He wants to say much more, but Michael stops him by friendly hugs his old celly.

Michael (still a bit smiling)

" I guess today it's my part to welcome you in prisneyland! Can't say I'm happy about this."

(The scene from season 1 is shown when Michael arrives in Fox River)

" What about Linc? Is he in this prison too?"

Sucre doesn't needs to answer this question course Linc steps in to the cell just in this moment.

Michael (with a sad sounding voice)

" Oh Linc! I'm so sorry. It's all because of me. I promise I'll do…."

Now it's Linc stopping his younger Brother by just take him in his arm.

* * *

Lisa is waiting for Paul. She is very worried after her talk with Michael. So when Paul finally arrives she needs to take him in her arms first. Paul feels the pressure inside of her.

Paul (as relaxed as possible)

" What's wrong Dear?"

Now Lisa starts to explain. In her conversation with Michael she tries to make him believe how important it is, that he joins the company. She was trying to make him believe in the power Scylla will give him to make anything right the General destroyed with only looking for profit and revenge.

Lisa

" Michael was so close to except. But his lawyer came in and I was forced to go before getting his answer and when I was leaving I watched a scene that make me feel, we need to get exonerated Sara before he is open for other things."

Lisa starts to describe the "rose –scene " to Paul.

" Do you have any idea how to do this before the trial will take place?"

Paul can perfectly imagine what Lisa is talking about. He remembers the moment when he was informed that Michael was heavily injured by sacrificing his life to free the woman he loves and their conversation in the hospital, before the brain surgery. Michael was willing to give up himself just to make sure, Sara is safe. Looking at Lisa makes him sad. He isn't sure if she really loves him or just use him to safe her power. " No matter" he says to himself " I love her ".

Paul (his voice sounds deeper then normal and the look of his eyes says he would do anything)

" Ok. I know what you mean. I'll make some calls"

He take his mobil-phone (the German "Handy" sounds much better in my opinion ;-))

John is looking very surprised when his Handy rings and its Paul.

* * *

In the house Mariacruz prepares to visit Sucre. She doesn't response to all the warning the others told her.

Mariacruz (defiantly)

" I'm here to see him and I will see him. "

The others know there is no chance to hold her back, no matter how dangerous this can be.

Seeing this woman in love, Steve touches the paper in his pocket and says.

" I'm coming with you. I need to talk with Linc anyway."

When Alex hears that Steve go to meet Linc he ask him to wait a minute.

Alex

" Michael asks me to find out as much as possible about his cellmate. Could you give him this file."

Steve (while taking it and open it without looking closer)

" What did you find out?"

Alex answering worried

" This guy doesn't exist, at least not as Jason A. I printed some pictures from a guy the face search find, some similarities. I want Michael to have a look. If he is the man on the pictures, Michael needs to be carefully, course this guy works a professional Killer for the company. "

* * *

Linc

" Don't bother yourself Michael. Remember your wish , not to be the older brother for your older brother . (Season 1 Brothers keeper") There is no need to do be this anymore."

Michael smiles now and says :

" You are right Linc. Sorry ! It's just so hard to see you in prison again . Not that I don't enjoy your presence, but what the hell you are doing in high security for being under suspect for aiding a fugitive ? "

Sucre ( who was in the background while the brothers talking )

" This Pappy is your fold!

He starts to laugh loud when he sees Michael's surprised face ,

" Don't worry . Judge decided there is a big chance we break out again, because someone, can't remember the name trained us very well in this ."

Now Michael laugh too. Then they start talking about what happens. At the end Michael confess that he appealed to make his court a jury trial .

Linc staring at him , like he wants to kill him any second,

" What ? A jury trial? Are you kidding me. You know how risky this is . How easily company, or who ever is your enemy bring his persons in the jury and makes them crucify you. "

Michael ( seeing how worried Linc is now) says quietly :

" You know me Linc . There was always a plan B ."

Linc and Sucre ( at the same time and a bit too loud )

" Plan B, does that mean…. "

They both make gestures for run away .

Bear who turned around when he heard plan B can see now very well what this plan B is all about.

* * *

John look at Sara , witch is sleeping at the couch with Michael JR. in her arms . Paul's call is in his mind . Paul told him he found a possibility to exonerate Sara , but he need to meet her in person first . John isn't sure if he should trust Paul . I need to talk with her he is thinking .The nice picture of this lovely person holding her son in his arms let him hesitate for a while .

Than he tender shaking her a bit.

Sara opens her eyes willing to fight if it's necessary .

John ( with a deep voice )

" Never meant to scare you Sara, but we need to talk !"

* * *

When Bear closes his book very loud , Michael knows something is wrong and show the others to change the theme they are talking about. Michael likes Bear. On his second day in this prison he run into him because both of them are reading in a book and don't looking if something is in their way. Michael must have had the same look in his face when he recognizes the tall , strong man he was crashed in. He has prepared himself to disappear . But Bear only starts to laugh and ask Michael " Bookworm? Me too. " So the both starts to talk time by time.

Bear is in prison 15 years now ,for killing someone, he never killed. He couldn't read or write when his trial take place and he have had a very bad lawyer. When the jury call him guilty he was desperate and hopeless. After a while in prison he started to learn how to read and write. His last appeal was denied 2 years ago, so he has 30 more years to do. Books are his window to the world.

A guard comes in. He says ironic .

" What a idyll he says , you all must have missed this much. "

The mimic the three have in their face now says it all.

Guard (still smiling )

" Looks like you don't like my jokes , No matter you need to follow me . "

When he recognizes the quest in their eyes Who ? he says

"All of you , pronto!"

He leads them to visitation and Sucre can't believe Mariacruz is there , he totally ignore Steve who is sitting at the table and take his Girl in his arms . They both are so happy .

Michael and Linc sit down on the table with Steve . Michael feels something is wrong with him just can't figure out what . Steve talks about stuff he easily had could tell him on phone or at a normal visitation time and all the stuff he is talking about doesn't concerns Linc. At last he hands over the file Alex gave him for Michael.

Steve ( still somehow strange )

" Oh I almost forgot , Alex gave me this file for you . Your cellmate Jason could be a major threat , don't let him see this . "

Then a guard came in telling visitation is over .

They all leaving while Steve working on his pocket . At the last moment he calls Linc back.

Linc turn around asking

" What's the matter ? "

Michael wants to wait too , but guard forces him to go out.

Steve slowly opens his pocket. For a moment it looks like he changes his mind . He look at Linc and than his glace fell on a picture of Jane he always has with him. This makes him focused .

Steve ( his voice sounds like a threat . )

" Linc this is nothing personal believe me , but I love Jane . "

Linc don't understand until the moment Steve shows him the page from entrance book.

Steve ( after putting the page back in his pocket )

" It's your choice Lincoln ! You can tell Jane you want her to disappear and this will never come on the judges table or I hand this over and you and your silly Puerto Rican friend go into prison at least the next 5 years. "
