A fire-cracker he pays a local boy to plant shows Michael Mahone's two plants on the plaza, but Bellick pulls his gun on him, accompanied by Fernando who denies sending the message. Scofield smells a trap and states their goals: money for Bellick, Maricruz for Sucre, T-bag for him, then reminds Fernando in private Maricruz is his legitimate priority, not revenge. Sarah Tancredi's trial proceeds, and the judge allows showing Michael's tape clearing her; her lawyer advises her to take a twelve-year plea, in effect nine years in hard security.

Instead of money, Fernando finds a girl shot, T-bag makes a run past Bellick while police enter; Michael and Sucre follow over the fire escape, a car slightly running into him causes T-bag to be caught again. He deals with Michael to trade his escape, without the money, for information but Scofield decides to dump him at the embassy.

Sucre insists Michael run after him in a palm wood, till he makes a stand with a knife. A broken bottle allows a fight.
