Biography[]
The Taking of Dispatch[]
He played a role in a big theft on a museum that contained priceless arts. He served as the muscle for the crew led by Greg, one of his acquaintances from before.
Ellis and the team masqueraded as police officers and took dispatch hostage, while Tiffany disguised herself as a delivery woman and was able to avert the cameras from the museum. Jake faked his death, a suggestion from Tiffany that would cause the dispatch to think they were ruthless killers.
As the crew loaded up the van, the plan hit a hitch when LAPD became aware of the act and Ellis panicked, siding with Foster in attempting to escape before a raid was commenced. The audience then hear the dispatchers, Athena, and LAFD discuss how each member knew each other and see when they were arrested.
In custody, Ellis attempted to use sophisticated language to avoiding incriminating himself. When the cops weren't amused, he promptly demanded a lawyer along with the rest of the crew (excluding Foster who was killed in the raid). Greg was ready to make a deal and listed Tiffany as an accessory but was dismayed to learn she wasn't caught and had dupe them. It is revealed Tiffany was the orchestrator who brought them all together.
Sometime later, Tiffany and Jake were found and arrested. In interrogation, Tiffany justified her betrayal after it is revealed the last getaway driver the group hired was her father who was killed by police. Athena's family was surprised and her son remarked there was no honor among thieves.
