Sammy is upset; the inmates keep uncovering Papo's body. He tells Lechero that the inmates don't fear them any more, and he's doubly infuriated that Michael seems to have impunity. Lechero tries to convince Sammy not to kill Michael.

Michael and Whistler are locked into a fight to the death, but Michael privately tells him it's just a distraction. The escape plan still holds: one guard is drugged, and they're leaving when the sun gives them cover from the other guard at 3:13pm.
