Mack plays smart and pretends to be on John’s side, and promised that if he let him go, he would just leave. But while John headed back to the cottage – where Aaron once again couldn’t see the truth – Mack tried to escape. When he returned to the bunker, John got close enough that Mack thought he could hit him with a plank of wood. Unfortunately for him, his handcuffs prevented him from reaching that far.
