Marty Finch is a combination of all what he is and what he was and what he is going to be. His past, present and future combined together in one concise role of Marty Finch and that too with the story that Dave Kalstein backstopped in 3x08 Bounty where Hetty narrates the same story to Deeks and Kensi of how Callen and Sam built trust between their partnership. She made up the story but then she is writer's spokesperson. Dave Kalstein used it for Sam and Callen in 3x14 Partners and in 5x10-The Frozen Lake used it for Deeks about how he trusts his both partners in that episode, Thapa and Kensi.
He is a lawman, Cop-and part Agent Marty Deeks. He was a Public Attorney and had previously assumed Marty Finch as Undercover for LAPD with the same Armenian Mob. It speaks of his credibility with the experience and qualification he has from past to take up the present "risky" job of going in alone to rescue his partner "gone Lone Wolf" Thapa and also retrieve the Thumb Drive. And in undertaking the job, Marty Deeks charts out his future. His future with Kensi and his future as the Warrior that his name represents. Marty as in Martin is the Roman name for Mars means War-like. And its the undercover, where Marty Deeks uses the knife declaring his Martian qualities when needed. The use of the blade takes him closer to Kensi and the dangerous job of the Agents, bringing within him the shift away from being the Cop, as Cops usually do not deal with knives. And for me personally, in that role of Marty Finch, I saw the Marty Deeks that I wanted to see, as envisaged by the writers. Marty for Martian with "Skill" and "Bravado" to command victory for his mission and Deeks for "Dirty and Geeky" Deeks. Well! Dirty as in shaggy looks and his tendency to ramble into gutter talk that everyone around him seems so wary about.
