@Sensitive Blake Griffin does have a hell of an idea...what if they fake the falling out so while rust is still investigating the case, marty can move up in the ranks/join certain circles to get some insider info on the people they investigating...a public falling out with rust would make marty look real good to the right people....
The main problem with that is the timelines don't match up. They fell out in '02. They're getting interviewed in 2012. As far as everyone knows these guys haven't spoke since then. Them maintaining a fake beef for a decade in order to solve a case....that's just too much. That's some Mission Impossible shyt. I could see Rust doing something like that because he's crazy....but Marty? There's no way. The guy has no kind of patience whatsoever. He couldn't even wait in the car 10 minutes when Rust when to that bar for Ginger.
Now, a variation of that which would kinda make sense is Rust cuts Marty loose because he knows Marty ain't down for that kind of shyt. So he intentionally beefs with Marty basically to distance himself from him. But Marty wouldn't know that.
