Plot summary
The eight escapees (Scofield, Burrows, Sucre, Abruzzi, Bagwell, Franklin, Apolskis and Patoshik) run to a van on Fitz St provided by Abruzzi's men and leave Patoshik behind as they drive it away. Fearful of Abruzzi, Bagwell handcuffs his left hand to Scofield and swallows the key to prevent his own killing. They leave the van behind and continue on foot. Scofield forces Apolskis to break away alone because of his betrayal, and Abruzzi cuts off Bagwell's hand to free Scofield. With Bagwell incapacitated, they run towards the airstrip. The President dies, supposedly as a result of a heart attack; Reynolds quickly swears in as President, regaining The Company's faith.
Police find Tancredi suffering a morphine overdose in her apartment. Donovan encounters the toothless Steadman in a mansion in Montana. Apolskis passes the police checkpoint inside an animal transfer vehicle, while Patoshik escapes by toy bicycle, and Bagwell runs, carrying his hand. The other escapees arrive at the airstrip just as their plane leaves. As police approach, they run into the night.
