Prison Break Episode 60: Shut Down
Michael attempts to track the cardholder and avoid going back to prison. Wyatt finds new information regarding Sara's whereabouts. Elsewhere, T-Bag uses a new identity to make a new life for himself.
Full recap
Michael confronts Donald Self after learning that Scylla is not one card but **six**, and Self tells the team they must find the next cardholder by the end of the day or go back to prison. Meanwhile, Mahone slips away to call Agent Felicia Lang about finding the man who killed his son, which makes Lincoln suspicious.
Inside Self’s office, the situation worsens when Stanton becomes angry that the mission is bigger than expected and decides to shut it down. Sara then discovers an email sent to Stuart Tuxhorn mentioning an arrival in London, and Mahone suggests that the message is coded. Michael deciphers it to reveal the word **“Scylla”** and a **4:00 meeting**, and Roland traces the emails to a server in Anaheim.
While Sucre and Bellick keep watch outside Tuxhorn’s office, the others head to Anaheim to break into the server room and retrieve more information. Sara distracts a security officer by pretending she has a job interview, steals his badge, and passes it to Michael so he can get deeper into the building.
Once inside, the team copies the emails, but the operation goes badly when the fire alarm forces a scramble and Michael and Roland get trapped in the server room without oxygen. Lincoln forces his way in to rescue them with an ax, and when they review the copied data, the computer freezes and they realize the project has been terminated.
Even with the mission apparently collapsing, Michael keeps pushing forward. The team is tracked through the GPS devices implanted in their ankles, so they steal a taxi and race to the Newport Beach power plant after Michael works out that the coded emails point to a meeting there.
At the plant, Michael sneaks inside and discovers that the meeting is not for one cardholder but for **all six**. He records the gathering on video and returns to Self with the evidence. Seeing proof of the full group, Self decides to let the team continue their work.
In the episode’s final developments, Mahone receives information from Agent Lang about his son’s killer, and Lincoln tells Mahone that he will help him track the man down after the Scylla mission is finished.
