'Escape at Dannemora': Episode 6 takes us closer to the massive manhunt that ensued and how Richard Matt got shot

What has piqued our interest is the most recent promo video of the show's sixth episode which teases light flares and gunshots as scenes of the manhunt unfold.

With just two episodes left of Ben Stiller's riveting dark prison break show, 'Escape at Dannemora,' it would make sense if viewers got a little impatient about finally seeing the end of the two inmates involved in the titular escape of the series. Based on the real-life infamous Clinton Correctional Facility escape of 2015, Stiller's Showtime drama shows inmates Richard Matt (Benicio del Toro) and David Sweat (Paul Dano) tunnelling out of the prison with the help of tools provided by prison employee Joyce 'Tilly' Mitchell (Patricia Arquette) and the eventual consequences of that. But what has piqued our interest is the most recent promo video of the show's sixth episode which teases light flares and gunshots as scenes of the manhunt unfold - so does that mean we finally get to see Matt and Sweat getting taken down?

As per the show's timeline, Matt and Sweat have already escaped prison with a few things not going according to their initial plan. Resembling the real-life events that ensued after the two inmates dug out of prison, Tilly bailed on them owing to a last minute panic attack that sent her to the emergency room - leaving Matt and Sweat to make substitute arrangements and take some calls of their own. As of now, after Sweat's suggestion, the two are on the road - probably looking to lay low and hide in the mountains until they can figure things out eventually. But strictly following the real-life incidents, Sweat and Matt are to go their separate ways soon - something that will take them to their inevitable downfall, with Matt getting shot to death on sight, and Sweat getting shot and taken into custody.
