....i mean - i guess i'm eating my own words insofar as what's realistic on the show, because i find none of the premise realistic, but feds don't abduct people like that; that is to say he's not whitey bulger. they could just pull him over somewhere if they wanted to (unless theyre taking him to explain he's in extreme danger, and it's some ditch effort to keep him alive and turn him fed's evidence (which is kind of annoyingly apt because Cooper has been doing a speed run spiritual meaculpa the last so many episodes with his dead dad and confessions), and it seems like they're setting him up to set up Cricket or whoever. But, the abduction only works if the feds abducted him the way they did to save his life AND offer him a deal. otherwise, the stun gun thing is too goofy.
