Worse, Stephen is right.
The police have already figured out where they're hiding.
Not only have they traced the money through Stephen's accomplice, but they've tapped his phone too.
Just days after Stephen reveals the truth to Philip, they're both arrested.
Philip is allowed to be free while he awaits trial for the embezzling scheme.
Stephen, meanwhile, is sentenced to 45 years in a maximum security prison in Texas.
Stephen's right back to where he was with Jimmy, locked in a cell while the person he loves is on the outside.
He couldn't live with it then.
He can't live with it now.
And that's when Stephen starts to get really creative.
He begins planning his third escape by buying a handful of green magic markers from a fellow inmate.
Then he gets his hands on a spare prison uniform and uses his cell sink as a dye vat.
He dunks the white fabric in the water mixed with the green marker ink, and if you squint, it passes for the prison's medical scrubs.
On Friday, December 13, 1996, Stephen puts on his homemade scrubs, grabs a clipboard, and walks up to the front door.
Again, the guard glances at Stephen and buzzes him out.
Stephen walks out of a maximum security prison like he's clocking out from a shift.
As he crosses the courtyard, an officer in the guard tower calls out,
Man, your clothes look like prison whites, Doc.
Well, don't shoot, Steven calls back.
The guard laughs and Steven keeps walking right out of the front gate.
