Storyline

After Michael gets bad news from Linc, 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.

Quotes

Michael Scofield: I need you to trust me.
Lechero: Ooh, trust you? I don't know you good enough, brother. Teodoro!
[T-Bag comes in]
Theodore 'T-Bag' Bagwell: Si, Patron?
Lechero: Can I trust this bobo?
Theodore 'T-Bag' Bagwell: Him? He's a snake. He stabbed me in a back every chance he got.
Lechero: Huh...
[approaching Michael]
Lechero: A snake who stabs a man in the back? I never heard of such a creature before.

Water and Birds

Michael befriends the seventeen year-old inmate McGrady 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 sewage. Michael succeeds in contacting James, 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 that tells him that Maricruz is safe and sound and he has never touched her. Lincoln meets Sucre by chance and he tells that Maricruz is back to Chicago. The minion T-Bag gets close to Lechero serving him; Bellick proposes to meet Lechero with good information and tells him that there is a man hidden in the sewage. Lincoln follows Whistler's girlfriend that goes to the safe of a bank, and robs her purse with a pocket book about birds. Michael gets water for the inmates and Lechero drops the price of James Whistler's head, saving his life.

In this second episode of the Third Season, Michael saves the mysterious James Whistler from the prisoners of Sona. Lechero defeats Wyatt, who has dared to challenge him. Sucre finds the truth about the fate of Maricruz. And Lincoln lures the bitch Susan, giving another pocket book to her. Who is James Whistler and what the Company wants from him is the greatest mystery. My vote is nine.
