* taps a microphone * * clears throat * david martin grew up with inherent mental health issues, lacked a stable family environment, spent his teenage years in & out of correctional facilities before he was even legal, was dragged into doing dirty CIA work when he was just 18 years old, then jerked around the world to not only survive in but also break out of prison after prison after prison for 6 whole years ( 4 of which he spent in straight up solitary confinement ), felt ostracized from the only person he’s ever been close with / the only family he’s ever felt he had ( the man who recruited him in the first place ) ( aka the man whom his life became entirely dependent on from that moment forward ), was told he was an honorary part of said mans family, finally met his own REAL father & caught his first real glimpse of happiness ... just to be murdered in cold blood not even a day later at only 25 years old while trying to save the son of the man who brought him into this CIA mess in the first place, resulting in him bleeding out in his fathers arms & who’s last words were simply how he was just glad he finally got to see his face.
* pouring gasoline on myself * david martin’s whole life from start to finish was nothing but anger, confusion, pain, betrayal & loneliness, & the moment he thinks he might finally be happy for a goddamn second, his life & all it’s possibilities for turning out better than it ever was, better than he ever thought it could be, is fucking robbed from him for dramatic effect.
* lighting the fucking match * this show also killed a 5 year old for no real reason other than to further mahone’s manpain so why am i even surprised at this point
