Aside from Vera showing up and claiming we are all so totally wrong just trust her word, let's get back to Bryn.
How does Lotsapoppa's bodyguard end up best friends with Dennis Wilson and hanging at the ranch?
Was Charlie really surprised that Crowe was still alive when he saw him in the corridor or was he shocked to see him testifying against him?
BTW, WHY was a drug dealer, who had kidnapped a girl, even used as a witness against Charlie?
Did Charlie really think he was a Black Panther? Wouldn't Bryn have laughed at that?
Now, if I want to buy into the idea of Charlie as mastermind, but not the psycho of Helter Skelter, how about this-
Charlie shoots Crowe and rescues Kroner. TJ and the others with him supported this. He takes the leather strap off of Bryn. He knows the guy is gonna live, but he got to play cowboy. Remember this as well- CROWE NEVER CAME AFTER HIM. Never came after anybody. Why not? Guy is still out $5000 and has lead in his belly. This is the guy that said over the phone he was gonna rape the women and make the men watch.
But maybe over the next week somebody (Bryn?) helps make the peace. Comes down to the ranch. Says get $25k and this goes away. Bryn gets scooped up in the raid but they are all out in hours.
Now Charlie needs $25k, or he needs to get out of LA. Hmm Death Valley sounds nice. Or we can get the $25k from Gary he might have it. If we assume the truth of the MDMA burn, the Frenchman owes Charlie for the Biker violence- go get it Bobby.
And Tex still owes him for ripping off Crowe to begin with.
I don't know. I just like to think like real human beings do, not like characters in a BUGliosi paranoia play.
Or course Crowe wouldn't back down. But he seems to have. Why?
