Captain Mendez holds out the candy bar Terry Haines gave to him as a bribe to Paco and then drops it on the ground, forcing Paco to grab for it from the other side of the prison gate. Later, Stringfellow Hawke takes one of Terry's candy bars and gives it to Paco. A car drives up. Caitlin O'Shannessy and Eleanor get out of the car, causing a distraction in the prison. They ask Paco for directions and then leave. Hawke offers Paco a candy bar and as Paco sticks his hand in the gate, he touches the side of the metal, electrocuting himself. Hawke takes Paco's gun and shoots Mendez in the shoulder while Gentry takes Paco's keys and unlocks the gate. Paco eventually comes to during the prison escape.
