How exactly did the "cell phone hit" get set up?


Anyone else wondering how the "cell phone assassination" on the judge worked? Did Clyde rig the phone super-tiny explosives or something? And how would he have gotten access to her phone in the first place?

reply

More so how did he do it just at that right time???

Did he stuff explosives in it then program it so when his number came in that's when it would explode.

Spoilers about script

Cell phone
I don't think the judge dies but somehow Clyde stuffed a cell phone with explosives in a dog

Sarah's fate (EXTREME SPOILER WARNING)
I think she actually survives. Also she suggests taking Clyde's bed away after he confesses

Are you stupid?

you could've chosen any number of things, and instead, you chose to not only not answer the question, but you chose to actively engage with the question anyway.

i don't care that this is 6 years old, i saw it now. and yes, i too could have chosen to not respond, but i responded because i wanted to call you out. i hope you're a little bit better than this scumbag version of you from the mid-2010s.

but you're probably not.

Clyde was already in solitary at the time the Judge was killed. He was probably in the courthouse and swapped her phone before the meeting took place. He probably had the Judge's chambers wired and knew everyone's routines. You don't need a lot of explosive to kill someone at close range, so some C4 or Semtex rigged to a small blasting cap connected to a duplicate of her phone, dial the number and poof.
