The charges against George Sr. are quite serious and he has decided his only recourse is to flee them. He managed to escape to Mexico with a briefcase filled with hard evidence of his dealings with Saddam Hussein; signatures and receipts that offered clear, unmistakable proof that he willingly dealt model homes to the enemy. In season two, George Sr. fakes his death in Mexico and returns to America to hide in the attic of the Bluth model home. By the end of the season, he secretly joined the Blue Man Group so his identity can remain hidden.
