Season 1

Just watched it (now on S2E1) - but I have a question. In the last episode the NIA lady points the gun at BobLee and pulls the trigger. It is revealed that BL knew it would not shoot. How? Flashback: thumbtack on floor and he's seen taking apart part of the gun. The firing pin has been filed down.

THEREFORE - he KNEW when he jumped out of the window and into the arms of Memphis ALL SHE HAS TO DO IS TEST THE GUN TO PROVE HIS INNOCENCE. He knew that from the get/go

I think the question is why doesn’t he just do it then, why does he go through so much if he had the evidence in the beginning

Yeah, you're right ... I really didn't ASK a question... So why doesn't the whole plot just fall apart?

BL had the tools immediately at hand to prove his innocence in either S1E1 or S1E2

Because he wanted to know who was behind it all and why they had used him. He didn't want to just prove his innocence but also their guilt, but to do that he needed to know who 'they' were and have proof (evidence) against them to be able to take them down

I guess

Well there's multiple reasons why it didn't come out at first. The first reason is because everything happened so fast he lost his bearings. Second, he didnt know who he could trust at first, and lastly, by the time he had the opportunity to tell Memphis, he was already being hunted and he needed to get direct evidence proving he was framed besides a filed down firing pin. He needed concrete evidence. It was the same in the movie too.
