Season 4 of Prison Break premiered on April 17, 2009, and concluded on September 27, 2009. This season takes place about 3 years after the events of the third season. The story sees Michael Scofield (played by Wentworth Miller) faking his own death to protect his family from the wrath of those they had wronged in the past. However, he soon finds himself in a prison in Morocco, where he must navigate a new reality and help his friends and family who are in various degrees of trouble.
The Final Break (Episodes 1‑2) successfully re‑energizes Prison Break for its final season.

The episodes lay a solid foundation for the season’s arc, promising a finale that will test the limits of Michael’s ingenuity and the brothers’ bond.

Three weeks after the escape from Sona, Michael Scofield is in Los Angeles tracking down Gretchen and Whistler to avenge Sara Tancredi's "death." He soon discovers a shocking truth: Sara is actually alive. However, the law catches up to Michael and his brother Lincoln. A Homeland Security agent, Don Self, offers them a deal: go back to prison or help the government take down "The Company" by stealing a digital "black book" known as Scylla. S04E02: "Breaking & Entering"
The team is officially assembled, bringing back familiar faces like Mahone, Sucre, Bellick, and eventually Sara. They are given a high-tech warehouse as a base of operations. Their first mission is to track a Company cardholder to a heavily guarded estate.

Here is a blog post reviewing those explosive first two episodes.
Prison Break Season 4 Premiere: Out of the Pan and Into the Fire
If you thought Prison Break was just about getting over walls, Season 4’s two-hour premiere just blew that premise wide open. Gone are the humid, claustrophobic hallways of Sona; in their place is a sleek, high-stakes espionage thriller that feels more like Mission: Impossible than a prison drama. The Reset: Scofield’s New Mission
Episodes 1 ("Scylla") and 2 ("Breaking & Entering") waste no time resetting the board. Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) starts the season on a revenge quest in Los Angeles, hunting down Gretchen and Whistler to avenge Sara Tancredi. But in a classic Prison Break twist, everything he thought he knew is upended within the first twenty minutes.
The most shocking (and relief-inducing) reveal? Sara is alive. After the gruesome "head in a box" incident last season, the showrunners have performed some narrative gymnastics to bring Sarah Wayne Callies back, and honestly, the chemistry between her and Michael is the emotional anchor this season desperately needs. From Fugitives to Agents The story sees Michael Scofield (played by Wentworth
The core of the premiere is the formation of a "suicide squad." Homeland Security agent Don Self (Michael Rapaport) offers Michael, Lincoln, Sucre, Bellick, and Mahone a deal: avoid prison by helping the government take down "The Company."
Their target is Scylla, a digital "black book" containing the identities of every Company operative. This shift from running away from the law to working for it (sort of) breathes fresh life into the series. Seeing the former enemies—specifically Mahone and the brothers—forced to cooperate creates a fantastic, begrudging tension. Highlights & Key Moments
The Loss of Whistler: Before the team even forms, Whistler is taken out by the Company’s new silent assassin, Wyatt. It sets a dark tone: no one is safe.
Mahone’s Tragedy: Watching Alex Mahone deal with the heartbreaking loss of his son gives William Fichtner some of the best acting material in the series to date.
The Return of T-Bag: Left for dead in Sona, Theodore Bagwell is back on the warpath, surviving a desert trek that proves once again he is the show’s ultimate cockroach. The Verdict
The Season 4 premiere is a loud, fast-paced "soft reboot." While some might miss the literal prison breaks, the "heist of the week" energy combined with the overarching mystery of Scylla makes for a compelling evolution. The stakes have never been higher, and the team-up of our favorite fugitives is exactly the kind of fan service we’ve been waiting for.
