Storyline

The Secret Service agents have paid a visit to Warden Pope, pressuring him to have Michael transferred away from his brother. After Michael uses a standard legal stalling tactic to delay the transfer, the agents increase the pressure on Pope: either lose Michael's petition and let the transfer go through, or a painful secret from Pope's past will be revealed to his wife. After giving an anguished consideration of the reasons why his past still haunts him, the Warden decides his course of action. Meanwhile, Michael needs another piece of information for his plan to go forward, and he makes an extended trip behind the walls to answer his question: English, Fitz or Percy, which one gets taken out?

Goofs

When Michael Scofield is in the wardens office waiting for John Abruzzi to unlock the door for him to get out into the hall, Abruzzi puts the plastic key into the door handle and unlocks it. When Michael opens the door, the key is in the deadbolt, not in the handle. Then when Michael closes the door and removes the key it is in the door handle again instead of the deadbolt.

Lincoln Burrows: You gonna tell me about the transfer?
Michael Scofield: I'm taking care of it.
Lincoln Burrows: You're taking care of it. Sounds to me like you're reaching.
Michael Scofield: Maybe. A little.
Lincoln Burrows: A little. You know, I had made my peace with what was coming, then you show up and give me the one thing a man in my situation shouldn't have - hope. Now that's going to be taken away.
Michael Scofield: Don't do this, Linc.
Lincoln Burrows: I've got three weeks. What do you want me to do?
Michael Scofield: [Michael puts his hand on Lincoln's shoulder] Just have a little faith.

Just Have a Little Faith

Paul Kellerman and Daniel Hale blackmail the Warden Henry Pope promising to reveal a dark secret from his past to his wife Judy to have Michael transferred to Statesville. However, Michael uses a motion to stall the process for at least a month and stay with his brother for the next three weeks. Further, he asks his associates what should be selected: English, Fitz or Percy? Meanwhile, Veronica and Nick discover that the surveillance tape used as evidence in Lincoln's trial was forged.

"English, Fitz or Percy" is the most intriguing episode of this series until now. The story is great and the conspiracy is extending to Veronica and Nick. It is also impressive the realistic performances in this show, and Wade Williams, Paul Adelstein and Robert Knepper amazing in the roles of despicable villains. My vote is nine.
