When he realizes that Michael's gone to Panama City, Lincoln begrudgingly goes looking for him. T-Bag steps out onto his hotel-room balcony, where he's spotted by Michael. Michael sees T-Bag make eye contact with a couple of thugs. Mahone drives along a dirt road talking with Callie. He tells her he's got one last thing to take care of, and then he's done with the Bureau. Michael pays a kid to set off some firecrackers, which sounds like gunfire. This causes one of the thugs to reach for his gun, confirming Michael's suspicions. Michael runs into Sucre and Bellick, who want his five million. Michael points out the thugs, saying it looks like a set-up. Sucre begs him to help now, saying Maricruz is in trouble. Sara's trial progresses in Chicago. Kellerman polishes his medals, and then checks his sidearm. Sucre tells Michael he plans to kill Bellick once Maricruz is safe. Michael says he's not that kind of guy. Bellick pulls the hotel's fire alarm. T-Bag checks an address on a slip of paper, grabs his gun and his bag of money, and heads out. The thugs follow; Michael, Sucre, and Bellick trail them. Mahone spots Michael, but before he can grab his gun Lincoln's fist sends him reeling: "You son of a bitch, you killed my dad, you're done!" A fight breaks out, and Lincoln manages to get Mahone's gun and handcuffs. T-Bag arrives at the address on the paper, and heads up the stairs. Bellick distracts the thugs while Sucre approaches with a gun drawn.

Kellerman's in full-dress uniform. He signs a note to his sister, puts the gun to his head, and pulls the trigger. Kellerman's sister gets a phone call. Sucre ties up the thugs while Michael checks their ID's. He believes they're Company men. The guys find T-Bag in a room. Bellick orders him to toss over his gun, and demands the money's whereabouts. T-Bag motions to one side while approaching sirens fill the air. Bellick tells Sucre to get the money, but all he finds is a dead prostitute. In the ensuing confusion T-Bag manages to escape. As the sirens close in, Michael figures they were set-up. Police rush the building. The guys race after T-Bag, who shoots Bellick in the leg. While running, T-Bag is hit by a car. Sucre and Michael catch up with him, and Michael picks up his gun. They lead T-Bag away, leaving Bellick behind with the dead girl. Michael tells Sucre to find a car. Michael questions T-Bag about his new "friends." T-Bag won't say anything unless Michael lets him go; "No deal." Sucre hotwires a car.

Kellerman's sister enters his hotel room to find Kellerman... crying in a chair. His gun jammed. He tells her he's followed orders, and done terrible things. She says to undo them. She tells him his gun jammed for a reason, and no matter what... he'll always have her. Sucre brings a stolen car around. Michael has a plan: They'll take T-Bag to the embassy to be deported, and then find Bellick so they can save Maricruz. In Chicago Sara is offered a plea agreement of twelve years. Mahone and Lincoln wait for Michael to call.

While riding in the stolen car, T-Bag plays with Sucre's head. He distracts him enough to pick up a screwdriver off the floor, and then he stabs Sucre in the shoulder. He lunges for Michael, and the car veers off the road and crashes. Michael gets out just as a passing motorist stops. Michael hollers for him to call an ambulance, and proceeds to yank Sucre from the wreckage. Sucre looks bad. T-Bag takes off with the money. Michael asks the motorist to stay with Sucre, and then goes after T-Bag. T-Bag makes it to an abandoned house, and breaks in. Michael follows. T-Bag picks up a knife, and gives Michael a choice: either he agrees to split the money and go their separate ways, or he'll rape and kill him right now: "cuz it's been a long time comin', Pretty." Michael answers T-Bag by picking up a bottle, and breaking the top off of it. They fight. Michael grabs the knife from T-Bag, and holds it to his throat. T-Bag just laughs. He knows Michael doesn't have it in him to kill. Michael brings down the knife. Sara's told that with good behavior she could be out in nine years. Another lawyer comes up, and informs her that a witness just came forward who could clear her. The courtroom doors open to reveal... Kellerman. The police have followed T-Bag. As they approach the old house, they hear screaming. They enter to find T-Bag still alive, but pinned to the floor by a knife through his good wrist. Michael returns to the boat with the money. Lincoln calls, and says he's sorry. We see in a flashback that when Lincoln demanded Mahone's cuffs, Mahone overpowered him: it's Lincoln who's the prisoner. Mahone tells Michael he's heard that T-Bag's been apprehended but without the money. He tells Michael that he wants to disappear. He orders Michael to bring him the money and the boat, and gives Michael five minutes to get there.
