    Storyline

    Edit
    Lincoln tells Michael that they have four more days to rescue Whistler, but Michael is upset with his brother that he used him. Gretchen has a meeting with General and they decide to use power to release Whistler in an operation called "Bang and Burn". Later she asks Whistler to kill Michael. In Sona, the guards reinforce the bars in the windows, and Michael tells Lechero that this way it will be difficult to break-out. Sammy requests more men to Lechero to keep Sona under control. Sofia receives a call from Whistler's mysterious landlord telling that he has some "insurance papers" from her boyfriend, however, the Company intercepts the conversation. When Sofia receives the documents, she finds a passport of Whistler in the name of Gary Miller. But Gretchen arrives and takes the documents. Mahone tells Agent Lang how he killed Shales and then high from the pills, asks her to get some drugs for him otherwise he will not be able to speak in the hearing. T-Bag gives a message from Lechero with the blueprint of his cell with a hidden door and an access code. Whistler is ready to stab Michael when Lechero arrives and he hides the knife. Michael asks McGrady to request his father to call Lincoln and give him a message: "Don't come home for dinner." Mahone fails in the hearing and is sent back to Sona. Lincoln, Sucre and Sofia are attacked by the Company's agents and the brothers realize that something is happening, i.e., the Company does not need them anymore. When the "Bang and Burn" Operation begins, Michael catches Whistler and Gretchen fails in her intent. General Zavala has Michael hauled in for questioning over the attempted breakout. —Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

    • Goofs
      In this episode, Sammy wants Cristobal and his men to join Lechero's gang. One of Cristobal's men (the shirtless one) was seen in Lechero's gang in episode 3.1, "Orientación", when he was seen walking with Sammy and Lechero while talking about Michael's fight. In this episode, Lechero acts as if he doesn't know him.

      Michael Scofield: LJ, is he - ?

      Lincoln Burrows: Alive. They've given us four more days.

      Michael Scofield: Okay. Good.

      [Turns away]

      Lincoln Burrows: [Calls after him] Listen, back at the exchange point, I saw three body bags. You, me and LJ, we weren't getting out of there alive. It's the last time I get caught flat footed.

      Michael Scofield: Do what you gotta do Linc. As long as I take care of my end, right?

      Lincoln Burrows: Michael, I know you're angry with me about Sara but...

      Michael Scofield: You lied.

      Lincoln Burrows: I *had* to lie.

      Michael Scofield: Your son is my nephew, and there is nothing I wouldn't do for him. But apparently you thought... apparently you think I only care about myself...

      Lincoln Burrows: I know you don't care about yourself, but - you cared about Sara. You loved her. And I'm sorry. But LJ is my son, I - I couldn't let anything happen to him, you know that!

      Michael Scofield: You used me, Linc. So I guess you and the company have something in common.

    The "Bang and Burn" Operation
    Lincoln tells Michael that they have four more days to rescue Whistler, but Michael is upset with his brother that used him. Gretchen has a meeting with General and they decide to use power to release Whistler in an operation called "Bang and Burn"; later she asks Whistler to kill Michael. In Sona, the guards reinforce the bars in the windows, and Michael tells Lechero that this way it will be difficult to break-out. Sammy requests more men to Lechero to keep Sona under control. Sofia receives a call from Whistler's mysterious landlord telling that he has some "insurance papers" from her boyfriend; however, the Company intercepts the conversation. When Sofia receives the documents, she finds a passport of Whistler in the name of Gary Miller. But Gretchen arrives and takes the documents. Mahone tells Agent Lang how he killed Shales and then he addicted in pills, and asks her to get some drugs for him otherwise he will not be able to speak in the hearing. T-Bag gives a message from Lechero with the blueprint of his cell with a hidden door and an access code. Whistler is ready to stab Michael when Lechero arrives and he hides the knife. Michael asks McGrady to request his father to call Lincoln and tell him: "-Don't come home for dinner." Mahone fails in the hearing and is sent back to Sona. Lincoln, Sucre and Sofia are attacked by the Company's agents and the brothers realize that something is happening, i.e., the Company does not need them anymore. When the "Bang and Burn" Operation begins, Michael catches Whistler and Gretchen fails in her intent. The command of Sona captures Michael for the attempt of breaking-out.

    "Bang and Bum" is one of the best shows of the Third Season. Now the story is moving on, with many twists and new situations. Who is Whistler is probably the greatest question in this moment. The fate of LJ is also very doomed after the failure of the operation leaded by Gretchen. Mahone back to Sona is great since this killer deserves his destiny. My vote is nine.

    Title (Brazil): "Tentativa de Fuga" ("Attempt of Breakin-out")
