However, his story becomes more complicated as he begins killing the escapees whom he captures, resulting in his questioning by his superiors. It is later revealed that he has been forced to work for the Company by Paul Kellerman.
However, even after he agrees to do what the Company orders him, he still becomes a victim of Kellerman, who later joins Michael and Lincoln and tries to kill Mahone. After surviving the attack, Mahone tries to leave the task of catching the escapees.

In Prison Break Season 3, Mahone tries to convince Michael to join him in the escape that he was planning. But Michael refuses to join hands with him as he had killed his father.
