[He needs to see his face and hear his voice. He needs to see Wes' relief, hear it. He deserves to hear it, to feel that relief. Paekman was his friend too. He switches it to video, looking quite serious for Travis.] Turn on your video and I'll give you the cliff notes.
Man, we... [He smiles in a bittersweet way.] We finally got 'im, Wes. Crowell. You don't remember?
[He looks kind of sick, but he continues.] First, we messed up with Dr. Ryan and got kicked out of therapy. Then, we saw Crowell again when the anniversary of... of Paekman's death was coming up. So we went back to Dr. Ryan and we did it. We told her what happened. And I... you... [How does he explain the trust he now has in the other man? The bond that started to regrow between them. It hurts that he doesn't remember, but he vaguely remembers people talking about that, how people could come from different times.
He takes a breath.] We made progress, man. Real progress. And you told me that you've been following Crowell and his goons and you almost figured it out. The jewel place, we thought they were gonna hit it. So we went to bust 'em, but that wasn't when they planned to, so we got in major trouble. I almost... we almost broke up. For real, because there was no choice.
But we figured it out. Remember that Paekman said they said 'We bought off Henry'? Derek Henry, works in evidence collection. They were planning to break in and they bought off Henry to get away with it. But we busted 'em, man.
We... we got him? [he can hardly even comprehend. sure he'd been working on it, he'd never given up on the idea of finally getting crowell. but after everything his confidence on that matter had never exactly managed to be the best.
his confidence on a lot of things, really.]
Why do you. Remember this and I don't? Some sort of effect from the ship? [what the eff man.]
