- After Michael gets bad news from Lincoln, he sets out to find a prisoner named James Whistler, who holds the key to his freedom. That's easier said than done: James Whistler is hiding in Sona because there's a price on his head, and Lechero is not about to help Michael find him. In addition, both Mahone and Bellick want to get to Whistler too. Meanwhile, T-Bag won't allow a little humiliation stop him from insinuating himself into Lechero's good graces.—Anonymous
- Michael befriends a seventeen year-old inmate, Luis Gallego and discovers that James Whistler was arrested for murdering the son of the Panama City Mayor, and that Lechero has put an award on his head. Sona has no water and the thirsty Bellick exchanges water with Michael for the information that there is a man is living in the sewers. Michael succeeds in finding Whistler, who tells him that he would be a dead man outside the hole. Mahone sees the movement, seeks out and finds Whistler, while Michael meets Lechero and proposes a deal to release Whistler from the pursuit. Meanwhile Susan B. Anthony presses Lincoln, and Michael gives the note Bellick put in his pocket to Lincoln and tells him that he needs money. Sucre buys a gun, and visits Bellick who tells him that Maricruz is safe and sound and he never touched her. Lincoln meets Sucre by chance and he tells Linc that Maricruz is back in Chicago. T-Bag gets closer to Lechero serving him; Bellick proposes to meet Lechero with good information and tells him that there is a man hidden in the sewers. Lincoln follows Whistler's girlfriend, Sofia, to a bank, and takes off her a pocket book about birds. Michael gets water for the inmates and Lechero drops the price of Whistler's head, saving his life.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
- After receiving his daily water ration, Michael tells McGrady, the young Panamanian inmate, that hes looking for James Whistler. It turns out that everyone is looking for Whistler, who killed the the mayor of Panama Citys son. Michael and McGradys conversation comes to an end when a scuffle breaks out at the front of the water line. The fight knocks the water drum to the ground, emptying the contents. Lechero promises the thirsty inmates there will be more water.
Michael questions Bellick about the note he slipped into his pocket. Bellick says the note came from Whistler, who is hiding in the sewer system beneath Sona. Michael locates Whistler in a ghastly tunnel, holed-up behind a wall. Whistler tells Michael that if he leaves his sanctuary and goes above ground, the other inmates will kill him.
At a restaurant in Panama City, Lincoln meets with Susan B., who demands a daily progress report on his efforts to locate Whistler. Sara and LJ will be released once Whistler is safe.
Back at Sona, McGrady tells Mahone that, according to Lechero, whoever finds and kills Whistler will end up a free man. It doesnt take Mahone long to find Whistlers hiding place. Using a pipe, Mahone pries loose chunks of wall, digging a panicked Whistler out of his sanctuary.
During visitation, Michael passes Whistlers note to Lincoln. Michael still doesnt know what the note means, but feels it might buy them some leverage. After leaving the penitentiary, Lincoln spots Sucre at a bus stop. Lincoln asks Sucre for his help in freeing Michael, but Sucre is heading to Chicago to see Maricruz. Lincoln tells Sucre that if he changes his mind, hes staying at the Plaza del Sol hotel. As Sucres bus pulls away, Lincoln notices an advertisement on the back of the bus for Banco de Versailles. Lincoln opens the note Michael gave him. It reads:
Versailles 1989 V. Madrid
Meanwhile, Sofia studies the same text, written on a different piece of paper. She heads for the bank.
At Sona, Bellick informs Lechero and his men that Whistler is hiding in the sewers. Michael notices Bellick leaving Lecheros roomand realizes hes got a big problem on his hands. Michael races back to the sewer, where he encounters three of Lecheros men. It turns out that their attempt to capture Whistler was stopped by Mahone, who has one hand around Whistlers throat and is brandishing a pipe in the other. Whistler breaks free of Mahones grip and runs off. Hes pursued by Mahone and Lecheros men.
With time running out, Michael makes his way to Lecheros room, where he tries to broker a deal. Lechero isnt interested. Michael then approaches McGrady in the yard and pays him to bring a gallon of moonshine to his cell.
Sofia arrives at Banco de Versailles, where she hands the note to a bank employee. The employee tells Sofia shes a signatory on Whistlers account. Unbeknownst to Sofia, Lincoln is observing nearby.
Back in the sewer system, Lecheros men advance on the outnumbered Mahone. But Mahone fends them off with the pipe and forces Whistler toward the exit.
At a bus stop in Panama, Sucre encounters a young mother and her baby. Some policemen happen by, prompting Sucre to have second thoughts about continuing his journey to Chicago (as his presence could put Maricruz in jeopardy).
The bank employee brings Sofia a safety deposit box. Sofia reaches inside and removes the contents. When Sofia exits the bank, Lincoln confronts her. He reaches his hand into her purse and removes what she took from the safety deposit box: a pocket-size book on birds. In the distance, Agent Pike witnesses the exchange.
Meanwhile, an angry mob of protestors gathers near Lecheros room. They demand more water. Lechero phones his supplier, Colonel Escamilla, but is unable to convince him to bring more water to the prison.
Mahone forces Whistler into the yard, where theyre swarmed by inmates. Lechero attempts to take control, but Wyatt tells him that, because of the lack of water, hes now powerless. At that moment, Michael detonates bags of moonshine hes stuffed into a sewer pipe. The explosion causes water to gush from a pipe in the yard. Inmates rush toward the gurgling liquidand Lechero realizes Michael is responsible for the turnaround. Lechero informs Mahone hes been outbid and, in a sign of gratitude, tells Michael that Whistler is now in the clear and wont be killed.
Susan B. confronts Lincoln and demands what he took from Sofia. Lincoln gives her a small book, but it turns out he has the real book (the one Sofia gave him) hidden away.
At the prison, Lechero has his men drown Wyatt in a bucket of water. Meanwhile, Michael tells Whistler he has no idea how theyre going to escape.
