Inside a secure facility a hasty breakout begins to save Mason, who faces execution in six days. Edwin Stanford reveals himself as Mason’s father while the group forces a gate, fights through a chaotic dining area, and scavenges two spoons plus vinegar, salt and hydrogen peroxide from the kitchen and infirmary. They find a pipe that leads into a tunnel and plan for Mason to keep watch while someone stays in bed as a decoy between 60–90 minute guard patrols. Just as they prepare to move deeper, someone shouts, "They're here," leaving the escape exposed.
