Stephen's plan works.

He sits across from Philip in the visitation booth.

Philip jokes that he expected to see Stephen dressed as a guard on his prison bus.

Stephen says he wishes he thought of that.

For a few stolen minutes, they're together again.

But someone, we don't know who, tips off the authorities and they start tracking Stephen.

In April 1998, they catch him in Florida at a coffee shop.

After everything Stevens pulled off, after faking his own death and walking out of a maximum security prison and fooling doctors and judges and guards, he gets caught running a simple errand.

Stephen's arrested for the fourth and final time.

And Texas is done.

They're done playing games.

They want to punish him for the escapes, for humiliating them time and time again.

Stephen is sentenced to 144 years.

He's sent to a prison where death row inmates are housed.

Texas wants to make absolutely sure he never embarrasses them again.

So they put him in the kind of isolation reserved for the most dangerous criminals in the state.

He's placed in solitary confinement, 23-hour lockdown, one hour a day to shower and exercise.

The rest of the time, he's alone in a six-by-nine-foot concrete cell.

No cellmate, no television, no contact with other inmates.

Just Stephen, four walls, and a lot of time to think about the choices that brought him here.
