Complete story — includes the ending
Three years ago, Scofield was living a comfortable life while Burrows was saddled with debt. His debts were paid by a man who forced him to kill Steadman in exchange; after his arrest, Scofield blamed him for not using his share of their mother's life insurance funds properly and ruining his life. Donovan revealed to Scofield that there had been no life insurance, and Burrows had borrowed to secretly support Scofield and afford him his engineering education. Feeling responsible for his brother's position, Scofield began to plan the breakout. Tancredi, a morphine addict, met Bellick at a rehabilitation group and was persuaded to work at Fox River. Sucre attempted to rob a store to buy Delgado a suiting ring and was arrested when Hector called the police. Franklin was a sergeant in the Army deployed in Kuwait, and reported prisoner torture, but he was dishonorably discharged in a coverup operation, keeping this a secret from his family, and arrested for transporting illegal goods to support them. Bagwell was in a relationship with a widow with two children, who had him arrested when she saw that he was wanted for child rape and murder. He promised to find her when he got out.
