01E14 - The Rat

With the unexpected failure of Michael's plan, the five frustrated inmates return to the storage room. Michael begs Sara to talk with Veronica and Nick first to see the evidence and to ask for clemency from her father. Meanwhile Nick and Veronica appeal in court of Judge Kessler and request an exhumation of Steadman remains. Michael learns that if something goes wrong with the electric chair, the execution is delayed. He uses a rat to short-circuit the electric supply, but Tweener overhears the conversation and rats to Captain Bellick. Sara stays with Lincoln in his cell; later Michael and Veronica have a last meeting with him and he talks with his son LJ by phone. While Lincoln is walking to the electric chair, the governor calls to say that he has reviewed the process and denied the request of clemency.
