Captain Brad Bellick walks in the FBI office demanding Mahone pay him. Michael and his companions are impressed with the recordings on the stick, but it only helps if Kellerman's contacts in Washington use it right, notably high Justice official Cooper Green, who agrees to meet and cooperate, but is tailed by Kim's men. Linc calls his boy L.J., who refuses to give up his relatively normal life till further notice. Sarah meets Bruce Bennett. Bellick tries to bribe Sucre's incarcerated cousin into betraying his Mexican whereabouts. T-Bag finds therapist Dr. Stammel who looks like him, and murders him to steal his identity. Mahone is ordered to dispose of C-note for good once Kim believes he has Scofield; he promises to keep taking care of C-note's family, but only if he uses the content of a package he'll send to his cell- a noose. Sarah is too late calling Linc the real Cooper Green is in his office, but Michael tricks the fake one who pretended to be asthmatic just in time and knocks him down. Paul Kellerman visits his sister Kristine. Fernando Sucre is in heaven in bed with Maricruz Delgado when their baby kicks. The real Cooper Green could help with the tape, but then finds the memory stick has the copy date, not the recording date without which it is not admissible as proof, only to blackmail the president into signing a pardon.

Linc finds Michael is gone from their Christina Rose yacht after receiving Sucre's message (also intercepted by Mahone, who thinks to have found his way out); scary scumbag T-bag is in Panama City's Fin del Camino hotel with the money. 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. When T-bag leaves, Mahone's two men tail him, followed by the escapee trio. Mahone is suddenly attacked by Lincoln who calls him the murderer of his dad. The trio surprises and disarms Mahone's duo which carries no FBI-identification, and next T-bag, but hears police sirens outside. After lining up his medals and putting on his uniform, Paul Kellerman shoots himself in the head, but his pistol jams; his sister insists it's a sign to make a new start in life. He goes to testify on Sarah's behalf. 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. The monster finds a screw driver, stabs Fernando and thus causes a car crash, allowing him to run with his precious backpack. Sucre insists Michael run after him in a palm wood, till he makes a stand with a knife. A broken bottle allows a fight. In no time Michael has the knife at T-bag's throat, who taunts him but still gets stabbed- in the arm, so the police can easily take him in. . .
