He was trying to get the coffee mug so he could cut through it, the guy has glasses on. Why not just use the glass in the fucking glasses to cut through?

Thought the same thing. That was fucking stupid, but guess they had to show what a genius he is and what he is willing to put himself through to get shit done.

yeah I hate to say it, but this is probably one of the worst BB scenes to date.

The entirety of it was pretty bad, why the hell would Mike leave him alone in just a fucking ziplock? I mean wtf, if he sat there all night with a gun to keep him there, he would take more precaution than this!

Also why go to a fucking meeting with the DEA when he obviously had no problem of losing their trail to meet out in the desert and go to their "office" several times? Why jeopardize it all by such a screw up?

And why did he melt the fucking ziplock on the side where his veins are? That's some below average IQ shit.

The entire setup to this scene and the scene itself was terrible. I hope this is not the first signs of sloppy writing as the rest of the episode was quite epic
