Once they're outside, Michael retrieves the backpack full of money. He and Linc sprint off. Mahone runs off toward the Christina Rose and manages to take off before the cops arrive.
Back in the U.S., Kellerman's being walked to the van that will transfer him to his next (presumed) destination. There is no way that he wouldn't be clad in all sorts of protective gear beneath or on top of his orange prison jumpsuit. He is the guy who's all, "Yes, the long arms of the One World Conspiracy have reached everywhere and nothing stops them." Didn't the judge who ordered his detention pay attention to any part of his testimony? Anyway, Kellerman coolly tells the guards, "I know the drill," the minute they tell him he's not to speak to either of them during transport. That's my Magnificent Bastard!
So then Kellerman's in the van and it bops along, completely unescorted by other police vehicles or, say, anything to indicate that perhaps someone somewhere is at all concerned about the fate of the guy who was all, "Yeah, the One World Conspiracy sure does like to create opportunities to wipe out anyone who talks about it!" And then, within short succession, we establish that A) the driver decided to avoid the freeways in favor of remote, less-traveled roads, and B) Oh, look, the engine light has come on. Kellerman is smirking a little as the driver parks under an overpass, saying, "We'd better pull over just to make sure." Then he sits back, looking unexpectedly peaceful.
The driver gets out of the car and pops the hood. Kellerman turns to his companions and says, "In the French resistance, it was considered a high honor to face a Nazi firing squad. Meant you did your job. The highest honor was to smile when they shot you." Then the door opens. Kellerman turns to look at the suit-wearing guys who, incidentally, offset their dark ties with black ski masks and semiautomatic weapons. He smiles and says, "Took you long enough." We go to the outside of the van, where two men fire into it. We pull back further and further -- just close enough to convey that yes, many bullets are being fired into the van, yet far enough to raise the specter of a doubt that Kellerman was definitely killed. Guess we'll have to see how that Grey's Anatomy spin-off does, huh? I prefer to live in denial until then.
We're now at Lake Gatun, Panama Canal, at the Viejos Marina. Mahone is getting directions to Colombia from someone; he is but two days away from freedom. The captain remarks, "It's a good time to be down here -- no storms." "I've had enough storms recently," Mahone says dryly. Right after the captain tells Mahone to enjoy the beautiful crossing, we see a boatload of cops who are not enjoying anything. This would be because they do not enjoy finding vast quantities of cocaine aboard the Christina Rose, Mahone looks completely stricken as he realizes that Michael set him up -- first by planting the drugs, then by calling in a tip to the local narcotics police. I am sort of wondering why it never occurred to him that Michael would do that. I mean, he did basically steal the boat from Michael -- did Mahone really think he'd be allowed to sail off into the sunset?
