It's like I'm getting infected by it.
Excuse me, Gary. Your brother telling you he just witnessed a suicide didn't seem important? What suicide? Was Chris afraid that he was gonna get blamed for murder? I don't know what you're talking about.
I don't know where Chris is, and he didn't say anything about somebody dying. He just was. really upset. Said he had to talk to me. What happened? I'm dropping the lawsuit. What? No, come on. We're so close. Don't let these guys scare you off.
Only this morning? Isn't that a bit premature?
That's not why I'm doing it. Because the accident was my fault. What? The driver couldn't stop because he never saw me coming. I don't understand. Remember what I was like back then, huh? Thought I was Superman. Thought I could do anything.
Well, I was flying down that street when all of a sudden my light went out. I should have stopped, but I didn't. Then, three days later I wake up in the hospital, and they're telling me, "You're never gonna walk again.". But don't worry.
It's not your fault. There's nothing you could have done.
And I let myself believe that because I couldn't face the truth. He still hit you.
Okay, so we canvassed the pay phones near the motel.
It was my fault. Okay? And all that anger that I had at myself, I was taking that out on other people.
The harder I was pushing it away, the harder it was coming back. I can't make people pay for what I've done anymore. You don't have to drop the lawsuit. Insurance companies have deep pockets. Look, I know you need the money, And I swear to God, I will figure out a way to pay you back. But this lie has done too much damage. It's time I try to fix it. I asked him to sleep on it, and he said he would. The next morning, when I went to check on him, he was gone. Chris dropping the lawsuit would cost you a lot of money. Things are tight, yeah. I'd say more than tight. Gary, we know you had to take a second mortgage on this place. To help pay for things like Chris's van and everything else. A lot of people would be really angry if they were put in that debt. What are you saying? That I did something to my brother? No, we're saying being handicapped is expensive. I would never hurt Chris. I was afraid the insurance company might hear about it, And I kept hoping he'd change his mind. So, you're right. It was all about the stupid money. None of the principals from either side of the lawsuit ever heard from Chris. Well, maybe he was abducted before he had a chance to get around to it. When he told his brother he had done too much damage,
What do you think he was talking about? I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that he wasn't going around apologizing to pedophiles. Hey, guys, the, uh, wheelchair lift from the van just turned up at a chop shop. Take a look at the guy who was trying to sell it: Ray Bennett, the truck driver that hit Chris. Okay, but we confirmed he was working when Chris went missing. Chris could have gone to him. There's a lot of places in a salvage yard where you can bury a body. And Bennett had plenty of motive to go after our guy.
Within a year of the accident, he declared bankruptcy and went through a divorce. Well, if Chris wanted to make amends, that would be a good place to start.
He probably should have sent a card. Ray, that is Chris's van. Man, I ain't got nothing to say to you, man.
