 With the tunnel finished, the team is almost ready to make their escape, but Lincoln has been put in solitary confinement after punching out a guard who was about to discover the hole. Michael insists they have to wait to go through with the escape, but the rest of team is ready to go on with or without him. He comes up with a plan at the last minute, smuggling Lincoln a poison pill that puts him in the infirmary just in time for the other escapees to meet up with him. At the last moment, however, disaster strikes: a workman had earlier discovered the hole in the pipe Michael had been creating, and the bend under the infirmary has been replaced with a new steel section far too strong to remove in time. At the same time, Veronica has decided to go public after getting a call from agent Hale that he s willing to hand over all the information she needs to free Lincoln and blow open the conspiracy. Although she meets with him long enough to learn the shocking secret about the Steadman assassination, agent Kellerman shows up before Hale can hand over the list of names, and shoots his old partner.
