With the craziness of this show, do we really KNOW that Ben isn't Henry
Gale. After all, we can't really be sure that the body wasn't just some
random guy that Ben kidnapped. And his ID in his wallet proves nothing.
Ben has a stack of pass****ts. I think he can forge a driver's liscence.
Hopefully I intended this to be a joke, but even bizzare ideas have a way
of
coming true on this show.
