The point is, Homeland Security needs their testimony to cover their asses. If the whole gang comes back to the Warehouse to tell their story, they can have their immunity. "What if they won't? We got a whole bunch of trust issues," Linc understates hilariously. It's either this or prison, Dallow says. A familiar dilemma. Linc calls the rest of the Superfriends to discuss this, and Dallow promises Michael his troubles are over if he'll just testify. Sadly, they are too far apart to seal it with a pinkie swear. Michael gives Sucre and Sara an address where they'll meet up with the Senator, he and Mahone have some recon to do and they'll be right behind. Before they leave, Sara tells Michael that this whole "chasing justice at any cost" tendency is what ultimately made her mom leave her dad. Aw, Governer Tancredi, you were hands down the least evil political figure in the entire Prison Break universe. Anyway, she says that won't happen with her. He can have his little savior complex and when he's done she'll be right there waiting for him.
Oh, and just in case you hadn't noticed Self is an evil piece of shit: they're sitting in his car waiting to hear from her dealer guy, and Gretchen gets a little smart with him, saying that once he's done patting himself on the back from his Tahiti beachhouse, he'll look around and realize he's just as alone as he is now. That's the real Don Self. In response, Don says nothing, just calls T-Bag and instructs him to put the gun to Rita's head and pull the hammer back. T-Bag is creepily compliant. Self's point is this: He wants his money. Gretchen should be quiet and find him a buyer or her family will get to know "the real Don Self." Gretchen gets a text message from her guy just in time to calm him down.
Sara and Sucre pull up in a taxi to the address Michael gave them for the meetup with the Senator. It's a parking lot by the bus depot. Mahone pops out and apologizes for the deception, but says that if they want to get his done, they're all going to have to do their part, and right now their part is to get far far out of the way and let Michael do his. Mahone gets on a bus and Sara and Sucre just stand there all slack-jawed.
Michael's part, of course, is to stroll into the warehouse and sit next to Linc, blowing off Dallow's bullshit "your country thanks you!" handshake attempt. He means bidness. Let's do this thing.
"Look, we don't have time for the 'who loves Michael more?' conversation right now!"
Sara and Sucre still don't have any idea what to do. Well, Sucre's pretty okay with leaving, actually, but Sara isn't. Michael wants them safe, but he might need help too, dammit. If they leave now, they're leaving Michael behind. This strikes a nerve in poor, loyal Sucre. He can't leave his Papi behind!
Dallow and Stanton are outside the warehouse discussing their options. The crooked DHS agent story is even more damaging than the wanted felon contractors story. There might be jail time involved. The Superfriends, like many unfortunates before them, simply Know Too Much.™ Stanton figures "this doesn't have to be about containment anymore. It can be about excision." "Muahahahaha," he fails to add, failing to twirl his mustache and stroke a fluffy white cat. But he might as well have. Dallow doesn't say "That's a great idea!" but he doesn't say "You're a crazy asshole!" either. So Stanton wants to kill them all, and the Senator just wants to go home so he's not going to argue.
