Safe & Sound (Prison Break)
"Safe & Sound" is the title of the 17th episode of the second season of the American television series Prison Break. This episode originally aired on February 19, 2007.
The episode centers around Michael Scofield and Lincoln Burrows as they attempt to acquire a tape containing incriminating evidence against the President of the United States, which could clear Lincoln of his wrongful conviction. This tape is held within a heavily guarded safe belonging to James Whistler, a key figure in the conspiracy.
The phrase "safe & sound" ironically underscores the precarious and dangerous circumstances faced by the protagonists throughout the episode. Despite their efforts to obtain the evidence and ensure Lincoln's safety, the episode is characterized by constant threats, betrayals, and close calls, ultimately highlighting the difficulty of achieving true safety and security while fighting against powerful and corrupt forces. The pursuit of the tape and its potential to keep Lincoln "safe and sound" forms the central plot point and drives the narrative forward.
