Plot summary
The team return to their cells without arousing suspicion. Donovan and Savrinn arrange for an appellate court to present their findings. Tancredi is unable to convince her father of Lincoln's innocence, as he rejects her lifestyle. Scofield learns from Westmoreland that Lincoln's execution will be delayed for weeks if the electric chair is malfunctioning, a conversation that is heard by Apolskis. Scofield exploits a chewing rat to cut the power to the chair. In court, Donovan has no evidence for what she saw, and the government attorney counters with documents certifying that no agents named Kellerman or Hale have ever worked with the Secret Service.
Bellick forces Apolskis to share what he has heard and bullies an electrician into fixing the chair without the delay of the approval process. Lincoln surrenders to his fate, speaking to L.J. on the phone and saying his goodbyes to Scofield and Donovan, who has failed at the appeal. He takes his place on the chair.
