We can work it out
Hi! 
What does “We can work it out” mean in this context?
I just found several definitions for “work out” in my dictionary. But I am not sure which is more suitable for this case. Mmm… May I interpret it as “We can solve it” ? Could you have a look for me? Many thanks!

Sucre: I'm done playing your reindeer games, Fish. I'm gonna transfer to a nice, quiet cell with a normal cellie, one that doesn't screw my entire life up.
Michael: Look... I'm sorry about your congugals, but if you go now... Don't do this. Please.
Sucre: Listen to me, Fish. I got 16 months. I got a fiancee to think about. I get caught with a hole in my wall, I don't get to see the real world for another five years.
Correctional Officer: Let's go, Sucre.
Sucre: I can't do that.
Michael: There's always a solution. We can work it out.
Sucre: Sorry, Fish.
