Last week in "NCIS: Los Angeles" Season 7 Episode 10, special agent Marty Deeks was arrested after being accused of killing his former partner in LAPD. And it has been reported that his "NCIS Los Angeles" team will find a way to prove his innocence and to put the real killer behind bars.
According to International Business Times, before Deek became an NCIS agent, he used to work with the LAPD. His former partner Francis Boyle was shot using his own gun inside a motel. At first, a hooker was said to be behind the crime but when she disappeared, the case was re-opened by Internal Affairs. That was the time that they became convinced that it was Deeks who killed Boyle. Even Boyle's former partner, Detective Bruce Steadman is determined to pin point Deeks for the murder.
Design Trends reported that the whole NCIS team are working against the clock in order to prove Deeks' innocence before things could get worse. Hetty even ordered the team to find ways to get Deeks out of such mess and agents G. Callum and Sam Hanna along with Deek's girlfriend, agent Kensi Blye immediately get on with his case.
And for the big twist, Deeks did in fact killed Boyle but will he share this big secret to his team and especially to Kensi? Deeks is torn between keeping his secret or telling everyone the truth, it is a tough decision for him.
According to Carter Matt, Deeks end up doing the crime, however, he did it for a good intention, which is to protect Tiffany. But still, that does not change the fact that he committed the crime and that it was a significant part of his past.
Eric Christian Olsen who plays Deeks has revealed to TV Guide, "The first thing he wants to do is tell Kensi."
Olsen has explained further, "His relationship to Kensi is too important. So at some point, it's going to be overwhelming. He's going to have to tell her. ... He doesn't have to carry this [secret] anymore. Obviously he's been carrying it for god knows how long. And the fact that Hetty knows means that he's not alone in this, and somehow that absolves him of those crimes."
But then Kensi's reaction to Deeks revelation is something to look forward to. "The mistake is compounded," Olsen said. "Obviously he killed a police officer, but then he hid it from her. And he had many opportunities to tell her along the way. She gave him the opportunity to do it and he couldn't do it."
Olsen then explained that it is not about his relationship with Kensi but on how Deeks values himself as he said, "That's what the fear is. If he really valued himself in the relationship he wouldn't be afraid to tell her this out of some sort of irrational fear that he would lose her."
And to sum it all up, Olsen said, "There's a twist that we didn't see coming as actors, and I don't think the audience will see coming either, that makes that scene so poignant."
"NCIS: Los Angeles " Season 7 airs Mondays at 10 p.m. on CBS.
