Chris Keller’s too pretty to go to prison.
Yeah, that’s what I said.
You said Chris Keller was pretty?
There was a moment when I was lost, when they had beaten me. And I decided to beg them to let me live to see my beautiful wife,my son, and my daughter. To breathe another breath and lie in the sun and just live. But begging them wouldn’t change things. It would only give them satisfaction and that I wouldn’t do. No, this would be the job they carried with them for the rest of their lives. This would be the one they felt guilty about. That their older, fading selves woke up regretting in the middle of the night trying to quiet their remorse before their own deaths were upon them. So I made a decision to give them nothing. And in that moment one word came to mind...FORTITUDE.
You sure you thought this thing through, Keller?
What's that supposed to mean?
You say you want to help Haley. You have a thing for her. You have since high school.
So?
So from where I stand, this is a lose-lose for you. If you don't bring Nathan back, you've failed her. If you do, you lose her anyway. Once Nathan comes home, you're out of the picture.
So are you. Yeah, Haley told me all about it. Once Nathan comes back, you lose your family. So from where I'm standing, it's worse for you. Because I lose what I never had. But you had it. Your son, your grandkids. All of it. But here we are.
I need to believe that there's still justice, that even now in a world full of grey and spin and compromise, that if you choose to do wrong, and you prey on good people when you do, someone will stand up to you. Someone will take a stand and fight back.
