After receiving his daily water ration, Michael tells McGrady, the young Panamanian inmate, that he’s looking for James Whistler. It turns out that everyone is looking for Whistler, who killed the the mayor of Panama City’s son. Michael and McGrady’s 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 doesn’t take Mahone long to find Whistler’s hiding place. Using a pipe, Mahone pries loose chunks of wall, digging a panicked Whistler out of his sanctuary.
During visitation, Michael passes Whistler’s note to Lincoln. Michael still doesn’t 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, he’s staying at the Plaza del Sol hotel. As Sucre’s bus pulls away, Lincoln notices an advertisement on the back of the bus for Banco de Versailles. Lincoln opens the note Michael gave him....
