Prison Break Code So, at the end of Prison Break, you see that Michael wrote Sara a note, and at the bottom of the note there was a series of dots. I don't have a screen shot, but this is what I thought the dots looked like:
Code:
... .. .. . .. .... ... ... .. ....
.... .. .. . ... . .. .. ... .
.. ... . ... ... . .. .

Morse code with only dots tho? There were no dashes at all.
edit: Okay, you wanted a screenshot, here's one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/56264445@N00/221602383/
Please note as I didn't feel like waiting for a torrent, this is literally me just taking a picture with my camera of the tv, so I can't provide any better quality then what you see.

It could be a phone number
if you transcribe the dots to numbers:
3221243324
4221312231
23133121
add the columns down:
9755867655
(975) 586-7655

If it is a phone number, it's not one that we can dial

975 is the area code for certain central ontario areas. Kingston pen anyone?

I was briefly thinking of a Polybius square , but that would require groups of 5 dots somewhere, wouldn't it? Anyway, I tried it and it spells gibberish so I didn't pursue it any further.
I think it's strange that the message is written and spaced to fit into a block of three lines, but that could be nothing. However, the message itself seems to be a clue and I suggest you add it here:

There's a plan to make all of this right.
Putting the dots right somehow? I don't know, but it sounds clue-ish to me.

Promise Here... I noticed the dots and was glad to see other did as well. I am not sure how pull it from the source material but could it be binary? We would have to assume that there is no more than one zero between any two ones.
Also! I will post again shortly, there is another code in the show! When the new detective guy (FBI) or some such... makes his first appearance he is doing a cryptogram and there is a very obvious close up of the material. I will pull the puzzle from the re-recording I made this evening. I will plan on rewatching it for more. More to come.

update... new stuff Okay so here is the twist. It appears this cryptogram uses periods and commas in the code… it is not just punctuation. Below the puzzle you see there is a key to the "previous weeks puzzle." He is working a puzzle in a news paper. In the key are a period and a comma.
Here is the code that is conspicuously obvious in the opening scene.
Lkiqtqy jqyy, zhkkeyn whpw .e, ,uayuw pfoyqw zpdie
Opening thoughts. This is very conspicuous and totally consistent with the a motif they should be developing in the show. This detective will be decoding the tats on Scofields body. Now the codes are appearing in the show itself. Huh.

I'm not sure of course, but I think the crypto is just there to show you that this guy is gonna be smart and it foreshadows that little wordplay which occurs later in the episode.
However, that's not to say that this particular crypto can't be solved for real. I just doubt that the solution will be relevant to the show, for obvious logical reasons. But it could still be an easteregg of sorts for the audience.

I had a go at comparing the number sequences to a simple alphabet code; 1=A, 2=B, etc. This is what I got:
CBBABDCCBD
DBBACABBCA
BCACCABA
What do you reckon? An anagram? Or am I barking up the wrong tree?

Looks more like a form of poetry than an anagram....

I think the Key would be this sentence:
T H E R E S A P L A N TO MAKE ALL OF THIS RIGHT
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11,etc
Where T=1,H=2,E=3,etc
Code:
... .. .. . .. .... ... ... .. ....
.... .. .. . ... . .. .. ... .
.. ... . ... ... . .. .
Counting dots:
3 2 2 1 2 4 3 3 2 4
4 2 2 1 3 1 2 2 3 1
2 3 1 3 3 1 2 1
To binary code:
011 010 010 001 010 100 011 011 010 100
100 010 010 001 011 001 010 010 011 001
010 011 001 011 011 001 010 001
Binary in columns:
254 071 061 017 073 403 074 065 031 201
Following the Key, where T=1,H=2,E=3,etc:
HER AT ST TA AE R E AR SE ET H T
¿"Her at sta aerea r see the t"?
Yeah, that means nothing. But perhaps we are close.
Maybe using hacking methods like this one we can crack the fine code.
