: Michael Scofield, a structural engineer, uses highly technical language—from "Pugnac" (insulin blocker) to structural stress points—that subtitles help clarify.
The first season of Prison Break begins with Michael Scofield, a brilliant engineer who gets himself incarcerated in Fox River State Penitentiary to break out his brother, Lincoln, who has been wrongly convicted of murdering the Vice President's brother. Michael's plan is to break out Lincoln and several other inmates, including Fernando Sucre (played by Amaury Nolasco) and Theodore "T-Bag" Bagwell (played by Robert Knepber).
Always make sure you own a legal copy of the episode before downloading subtitles. Subs are for personal use with your own media files or DVDs.
