The guy who he rescued from drowning murdered him. Doesn't get much worse than that.

He murdered the man who saved his life. What a piece of work. Deepest condolences to Don's family and friends. It sounds like he was a really great man to be around. I'm glad Ezra was able to find that gold.

I can't imagine living on a boat for 22 years! Everything would have been perfect if he hadn't run into Javier Martín.

FBI, CIA, and other law enforcement organizations should learn from that investigator guy. He's an efficient and determined investigator. Nothing but respect for that guy!
