Notes

add »
Music:
Llorando by Rebekah Del Rio. This is actually a spanish version of the song 'Crying' by Roy Orbison. (edit)
This episode was not intended to be the season finale, but rather the fall finale, but due to the writers' strike of the 2007-2008 season, it became the season finale. (edit)

Quotes

add »
T-Bag: Little Suzy Sona ain't playing so hard to get no more.She has her price. And we gonna need some money.
Lechero: No. No.
T-Bag: Then you will die in here. (edit)
Susan: What's so funny?
LJ: You. (cracking up) Thinking you can outsmart my uncle. (edit)
Bellick (about Lechero): He's gonna get us killed.
T-Bag (about Sona): He's gonna get us out of here. (edit)
T-Bag (talks to prisoners): Lechero is dead! I come before you now to bury the man. Not to praise him, for there is nothing praiseworthy about his rule here. Having one of our own dictate to us? Well, that's just not the natural order. All cons are equal! I have the last remnants of Lechero's cruel empire in my hand. An empire which I willingly participated in and witnessed first-hand. Money. Made off of your backs and off the backs of your family! It's yours. And I'm here to tell you, I'm giving it back. (edit)
Michael: When the exchange is over and L.J. is safe, you and I are gonna spend some quality time.
Susan: When the exchange is over, you better run for your life. (edit)

Trivia

add »
Goof: After killing Lechero, T-Bag met the Sister Mary Francis. However, when Bagwell was talking to her, we could see Lechero on visitation behind him, even if he already died at that point. (edit)
The song "Llorando" at the end of the episode was also in David Lynch's movie Mulholland Drive. Llorando is actually the Spanish version of the song "Crying" originally sung by Roy Orbison. (edit)
Goof: When Mahone is in the bar the bartender hands him a full glass of soda, when Mahone takes his first drink it is nearly empty. (edit)
