In Prison Break Season 3 episode 2, Michael got Whistler out of his hiding place and cleared his name with Lechero. Now he just needs to figure out how to break him out of prison. Stick around for another live blog. After that, don’t miss the live blog of Heroes Season 2 episode 2.
Link’s in his room looking through the bird book with names and numbers. He gets the pictures he asked for of LJ and Sara, then hears a noise and turns around to find Sucre, who just wants some money and isn’t interested in helping.
Scofield offers to help Lechero out with Sona. Lechero makes it perfectly clear it’s his show and he doesn’t want to be bothered. After that, Link goes to visit Michael with the picture of Sara, pointing to a specific spot in the newspaper, which they believe tells them where she’s being held. Michael tells him it’s already been three days, and he’s got nothing, so if he can’t break out, Lincoln’s going to have to break her out of where she’s being held.
Michael asks Whistler who he is, and he says he’s just a fisherman. He then asks McGrady for a cell phone, which only Lechero has access to. Link tells Susan she must let Michael speak to Sara, and that it’s a demand, not a request. Scofield turns to a reliable old friend to get the phone, T-Bag. He threatens to tell about his crimes if he doesn’t help him out.
Whistler’s girlfriend Sophia stops by and is happy he’s still alive. She tells him that Scofield’s brother took the book. She asks who that is, but he tells he tells her as little as possible. She asks what she can do, and he says nothing.
Whistler gets angry that Link has the book and treats Michael like the enemy. The response he gets is that Sara’s all that matters, and that he doesn’t care about him or his book.
Mahone starts going crazy without his little pills. He meets with his public defender, who tells him his trial date is a year away, “great news” since it’s less than the average of two and a half years. He says that he’s got a guy on the inside (Scofield) who will testify on his behalf, which he’s told doesn’t matter because it’s one inmate taking the fall for another. So Mahone asks for his pills to be smuggled into the prison. Needless to say, this doesn’t go over well.
T-Bag unplugged the phone so it was dead and still needed to be charged. After Lechero says to leave it to charge and heads off for his haircut, T-Bag grabs it and gives it to Michael, telling him he’s got less than half an hour. He calls Link, but Link lets him know Susan hasn’t even agreed to let Sara talk to him yet. Link tells her to stop pretending she’s in charge because she needs them. They get their way, and Sara calls Michael. She tells him it’s a lost cause but then gives him a vague clue indicating that the original interpretation of the first clue was wrong. She’s forced to hang up, and then Michael dashes to put the phone back where it belongs. He’s almost caught by Lechero, but T-Bag interrupts and lets him get away. Because the phone wasn’t placed back in the charger all the way, though, Lechero gets suspicious and redials, calling Link, who hangs up.
Sophia pulls a knife on Link, who tells her what’s really going on and says they’re on the same side and she should talk to her boyfriend. He then hops in a cab to try to figure out what Sara saw. He’s looking around trying to find her, and she sees him and throws something out a window to break it. He charges into the building and proceeds to beat the crap out of people, but they manage to get LJ and Sara into a van and take them away. After that, he breaks the bad news to Michael but tells him it’s got to be possible to break out because otherwise they wouldn’t have gone through all the trouble of setting this up.
Whistler explains his story to Michael and tells him he needs the book to plan what to do after they escape. Michael tells him his only concern is getting him out of there and that what happens afterward is not his concern. I’m sure that will change soon enough.
Lechero’s other men start to harass T-Bag and say they’ve got him figured out. In retaliation, he tells Lechero that they’re trying to take him down because they’re not getting their cut.
Link gets back to a passed out Sucre and gets a call from Susan. She tells him he’s never going to try anything like that again. Just so they’re clear, she tells him to check in the garage, where he finds a box. What’s in the box? We’ll find out next week. What do you think is in the box?
