The Most Wanted Men in America

Michael, Lincoln, Sucre, C-Note and Abruzzi escape from Bellick and his men and meet a hunter and his daughter in the wood; they carjack his car and head to Oswego, where Michael stored clothes, cell phones, money and a car for Lincoln and himself in a grave in a cemetery. Meanwhile, the FBI Agernt Alexander Mahone is assigned to track the fugitives, and he investigates the last steps of Michael before going to Fox River, trying to think like him and understand his tattoos. The heartbroken Sara survives to the OD in the hospital and awakes from the coma. Later she finds an origami in her purse with a ciphered message of Michael. Veronica discovers that she is locked in the armored mansion with Terrence and there is no way out. She decides to call the police and while talking to Lincoln, armed men from the Company arrive and kill her. T-Bag brings his severed hand to a veterinary clinic and forces the veterinary surgeon to implant it without anesthesia.

In this first episode of the Second Season, the smart FBI Agent Alexander Mahone is introduced and shows that he is a very clever man. However, Veronica is gone and I regret it since the sweet character performed by Robin Tunney was one of my favorites. The number of casualties due to the attempt to save Lincoln is impressive: his ex-wife, her husband, the bishop, Leticia, Veronica, her fiancé, her doorman, Nick, Danny plus the tragedies in Michael, Sara and LJ's lives. But I hope that in the end truth prevails. My vote is eight.
