"English, Fitz or Percy" is the fifth episode of Television Series '' Prison Break ''.

Michael ominously tells the team they have to take out either English, Fitz, or Percy. There is no other choice, and the flashback to his prior life shows the tattoos of the three names on his forearm. Meanwhile, Secret Service Agents Kellerman and Hale pay a visit to Warden Pope, asking why his transfer was denied. Kellerman exposes a secret Warden Pope had from his past, with the threat to deny Michael's transfer would result in his wife being told. Pope is clearly torn. He reviews his past; a son of his

The four break team members, Michael, Sucre, Lincoln, and Abruzzi have a confrontation, but Michael prevails, saying it's a part of the plan. However, to succeed, they have to take out English, Fitz, or Percy. None of the other break team understands him.

In an elaborate move, Michael gets Abruzzi to furnish him with a key to the warden's office, which is made out of some melted tooth brushes. Michael, still building the Taj Mahal, says he needs to keep holding a piece until the glue sets. Warden Pope leaves for the day. Michael, who knew the piece didn't need to be held, uses the time to go to cell count, then uses his allen wrench to leave the cell and escape to the roof.

Warden Pope, however, has to make a choice. He is being blackmailed into "losing" Michael's request to block the transfer. However, instead he makes a full confession to his wife about his earlier life, impregnating a woman with a son and then not being a part of his life. His coming clean with his understanding wife relieves him greatly.

Cell check in done, and there is somebody missing... Michael. An alert is sounded, and Michael takes careful note of the police vehicles. Revealed are the three escape routes - English and Percy Streets are swarming with police cars. Fitz is empty. Michael now knows the street the escape has to take place of. He smiles and returns to the warden's office, where he is caught with the replica of the Taj Majal. Nobody suspects anything. Afterwards, he reports his findings - Fitz is their escape route. English and Percy are the street names that will be monitored if an escape is suspected.

Nick and Veronica continue to try to find legal grounds to exonerate Lincoln. They come across a videotape of the murder, and try to get an original copy. However, they find it was destroyed in a "freak accident."

The next day, Kellerman and Hale are furious that the transfer of Michael did not go through.
