May. 19th, 2010 09:50 amBecause Peter Wingfield can no longer do anything at all without making me think of Methos, I saw the most recent episode of NCIS: Los Angeles last night and realized that Methos' most recent identity was Eugene Keelson, a very successful, very ruthless, information trader with an unspoken interest in Special Agent G Callen.
Keelson winds up being shot dead by G Callen, leaving behind only two known pictures, no real identification, and rumors of a lair full of electronics and information. (Among other things, and most recently, he had downloaded the entirety of the NCIS case files, globally.)
So, first, I imagine that Callen (and the rest of the agents, too) get real upset when Keelson's body disappears from the morgue. And, since I was disappointed that Marty Deeks of LAPD did not make an appearance, I think Deeks might be a watcher and have helped with the escape.
Anyway, then I imagine that Duncan MacLeod is going to be at least somewhat upset that Methos went this particular route to track down the pre-immortal baby that he'd placed in foster care some forty years ago.
"I just asked you to track someone down."
"Because you couldn't do it yourself."
"Yes!"
"You're a good tracker, Mac. You know it. So if you can't track someone down, then it's not going to be easy. And guess what, it wasn't easy. You asked me to track down an infant who grew up to be a man who specializes in being a ghost. That takes some specialized skills and connections to track."
"I didn't think you'd make a whole identify devoted to illegal information trading in order to do it! I thought you could just hack some database."
'I did. I just hacked a couple of databases. And I sold some information in order to keep me in funds in the meantime."
"But..."
"Yes?"
Mac shook his head. "So now you convinced G that I'm searching for him for some nefarious purpose. Couldn't you have just let him know that his old step-father wanted to meet him? And why in the world did you force him to meet with the Bulgarians for you?"
"First of all, his old step-father died a rather public death which put him into the foster care system to begin with, now didn't you? And second of all, the Bulgarians were going to try to kill me."
"So you sent a mortal to meet with them rather than deal with it yourself?"
"You always hate it when I kill mortals. Plus, Callen's at a good age to die his first death."
"Why do you do this to me?" MacLeod spoke plaintively, directed more towards the ceiling than towards Methos. Methos answered anyway.
"Hey, I've got a perfect reputation. You get what you pay for. And apparently you didn't pay me enough to track down a ghost and be nice at the same time."
