"The Killing Box" is the thirty-fifth episode of the American television series Prison Break and is the thirteenth episode of its second season. Broadcast on November 27, 2006, it was also the last episode to be aired in 2006 in the United States. The episode is written by Zack Estrin and directed by Bobby Roth. The majority of the events in this episode take place on June 5, a day after Michael's rendezvous with the coyote. The fictional Fox News report in this episode announces that "less than ten days" has passed since the Fox River escape.
This episode marks the first time the series' protagonist, Michael Scofield, and agent Paul Kellerman, have appeared in a scene together, aside from a brief glimpse in a car in "English, Fitz or Percy". Regarding the casting of this episode, regular cast members Marshall Allman (who plays L. J. Burrows) and Rockmond Dunbar (who plays C-Note) do not appear in this episode.
Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) and Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell) are held at gunpoint by Agent Alexander Mahone (William Fichtner) while Michael's mobile telephone rings. Before Mahone can shoot the two brothers, the United States Border Patrol arrives. An officer tells Mahone to drop his weapon while they apprehend Michael and Lincoln.
Fernando Sucre's (Amaury Nolasco) plane is being chased by military jets near the American border into Mexico. Sucre believes that the military can't follow them past the border, but the pilot tells him that all changed after 9/11 and that their only hope of survival is to escape the plane with parachutes. The pair jump out of the plane, and land in the Sonoran Desert. Later, Sucre glances at the dead pilot (with an unopened parachute), killed on impact, before he walks away into the desert.
