That would be because the FBI is currently tuned in to The Escaped And the Pissed-Off and everyone is simply riveted. C-Note says, "Listen...in the Rainbow Room..." and here, Mahone's eyebrows shoot up. Lang leans in and says, "It's a restaurant in New York City." C-Note continues, "Remember that beautiful spot where we took that picture â the one by to the window? I am going to be waiting in that spot one week from now, and that's all that I want in the world is for my two girls to be waiting there for me. Do you understand what I'm saying?" He's practically crying; Kacee's already dissolved. She doesn't know if she'll be there. C-Note says forcefully, "But you know me." "Do I?" she asks. "Yes!" he implores. She hangs up.
Heck, even Mahone and Lang look bummed at how that conversation ended. But not so bummed that they won't be alerting the Manhattan field office to the impending Rainbow Room rendezvous. Mahone adds, "Go have a chat with his wife, woman to woman. Ask her why she never once visited her husband in Fox River. Pretend you don't know the answer. Gradually keep tapping on her cracks, and she's going to break." Lang replies, "Yes, sir. I appreciate the assignment. I just want to say --" that he's kind of hot, in a sort of creepy and unsettling way? That he's kind of unsettling, period? We don't know, because Mahone snaps, "I don't want gratitude. I need leads, progress, answers. Anyone who can't deliver that -- don't even unpack." Then Mahone returns to his current No. 1 obsession, Michael.
Although Mahone's just ordered Michael's license plate to be put out across the local law enforcement wires, that will be a lot of wasted work, since Michael's busy taking off the license plates. Lincoln and his half-open shirt limp outside to see what's going on. Michael says worriedly, "Apparently, I wasn't the only one looking for this car." Linc shrugs and slides into the passenger seat: "Right. Let's get out of here." I can't decide if this is because he's still dopey from the liter of vodka he just imbibed, or if Linc is always going to be like, "Chased relentlessly by the Feds? Eh, whatever." Nika comes over to remind him that this was not part of the wedding vows. Michael says, "I'm sorry I had to involve you in this -- you know, any more than I already have." Nika wishes him good luck; Michael returns the sentiment. Well, nobody will ever accuse them of having a marriage based solely on infatuation. Michael adds, "So, umm, I'll see you." "I hope so," she responds. The boys hit the road. Michael promises they have one more stop to make before they head west toward the money. Linc asks, "What for?" and Michael replies, "Do you trust me?"
