Quotes:

Michael Scofield: What about Oscar Shales?
Pam Mahone: Oscar Shales? Why is he important?
Michael Scofield: Well, he's, ah... he's the only fugitive to ever successfully elude your ex husband.
Pam Mahone: Alex was consumed with finding him. I mean, after what Shales did to all of his victims, who could blame him. It was all he worked on, all he did, for a year. But I don't think that it was the stress of chasing Shales that caused Alex to start behaving erratically.
Michael Scofield: Why is that?
Pam Mahone: Because Alex changed after the trail went cold. I remember it like it was yesterday. He just, walked into the kitchen, after 12 years of marriage, and said that he wanted me out of the house immediately. I'll never forget the date - it was June 15.

Out of Control

While trying to retrieve explosives from the Blanding Botanical Garden, Michael is surprised and chased by the FBI. He escapes and discovers that Mahone retrieved his HD from the canal and is anticipating his movements. Michael goes to a cybercafé in Moab, Utah, and researches Mahone's biography. Then Michael travels to Durango, Colorado, where he lures Mahone's ex-wife Pam pretending to be a FBI agent, and he discovers where Shales' corpse is. In Chicago, C-note meets his gang and collects their debt, plotting a plan to meet his wife and his daughter. Sara finds a clue of Michael's code, but Kellerman is tracking her steps. T-Bag travels to Tribune, Kansas, seeking out Hollander, but she moved from her house; however, he is captured by Bellick and Geary that torture him trying to find where the money is. Lincoln and LJ are recognized by a waitress and captured later in a train station.

In "Unearthed", Michael has a conversation with Mahone, who is out of control, using Pam's phone. I really believed that Micahel would call the press and give the information about Shale's remains. C-Note succeeds to meet his family in spite of the despicable methods of Agent Lang trying to force his wife to choose between her husband and her daughter. Sara finally deciphers Michael's message, but Kellerman has already identified her new identity. T-Bag is now in serious situation with the vile Bellick and Geary. But the situation of Lincoln now is terrible, arrested and with LJ wounded. My vote is nine.
