I was plenty concerned and believed it up until the black-face. Number one, that’s ridiculous... number two not much time elapsed between when he went to get dressed in his spy garb and when he was ready to go... 5 minutes to decide to get dressed all in black, locate the blackface (which we all have lying around) and he was dressed for spywork.
I’m up for a good conspiracy anytime but this sounds more like an episode of McGyver gone wrong.
The long delay is to account for the trip wires he installed around his home also.
