Weapons-grade plutonium. Where TF did he get that?

Careful, OP doesn't seem to understand what a joke is.
Presumably, a centrifuge.
You so sure? The US doesn't use centrifuge to enrich plutonium.
In Soviet Russia, plutonium enriches you!
Do you think maybe that was a pretty obvious joke?
Not very obvious.
By definition weapons-grade plutonium is 90% enriched. Besides being used for nukes, it's the most poisonous substance on earth. Needless to say, the security around this material is as tight as we can make it. Somebody somewhere sold this guy some.
you don't enrich plutonium silly
Got to admit. Dudes facebook profile photo is pretty baller. Posing with a bazooka and all that.

Archer, he's got the case! Don't let him get away! Calm down Lana, it's empty. I hid it in Ray's wheelchair while he was distracted.
You did what now? I hid... the plutonium, Lana, it's this new thing called SPY CRAFT!

Well, apparently the core concept, Lana. Who do I look like, Marie Curie?
