Look, it's got five bullets. I finally figured out how to... [struggles to open the gun]Look, I just finally... [gets it open] I figured it out. I say we get a second gun. Right? For you? I mean, don't we like double our chances? I mean, mathematically?
I've got a better idea.
Oh, thank God! Alright, what is it, Mr. White? Lay it on me.
[holds up a small bag of...] Beans.
Beans?
They're castor beans.
So what are we gonna do with them? Are we just gonna grow a magic beanstalk, huh? Climb it and escape?
We are going to process them into ricin.
Rice and beans?
[rolls his eyes] Ricin. It's an extremely effective poison. It's toxic in small doses. Also fairly easy to overlook during an autopsy.
Alright. Alright, so...
[slaps Jesse's hand away from the beans] Don't touch them!
Seriously? You can get poisoned from beans?
Yes. Back in the late ‘70s, ricin was used to assassinate a Bulgarian journalist. The KGB modified the tip of an umbrella to inject a tiny pellet into the man’s leg. And we’re talking about an amount not much bigger than the head of a pin.
But it... it killed him?
Oh, yes. Now, we just need to figure out a delivery device. And then, no more Tuco.
