1:28:01
Oh, Mr. Cass.
1:28:04
I forgot. There's just one other question
I want to ask you.

1:28:09
Cass, what'd you have
against Scrub White?

1:28:16
- Why, nothing. I -
- What'd you kill him for then?

1:28:21
- I don't know what you're talking about.
- Yes, you do.

1:28:25
Look at this. Go on, look at it.
1:28:28
It's the Farmer's Almanac.
Go ahead. Look at it. Look at page 12.

1:28:33
You see what it says
about the moon?

1:28:35
That the moon was only
in its first quarter that night...

1:28:38
and set at 10:21...
1:28:41
40 minutes
before the killing took place.

1:28:46
So, you see, it couldn't have
been moon bright, could it?

1:28:50
You lied, didn't you, Cass?
1:28:52
And you weren't trying to save
these boys' necks, were you?

1:28:55
You were trying to save your own,
weren't you?

1:28:58
- Well, come on! Weren't you?
- No.

1:29:00
- Well, then what'd you lie for?
- I didn't lie.

1:29:02
Oh, yes, you did.
It's as plain as the nose on your face.

1:29:05
But why?
Why did you lie about the moonlight?

1:29:08
- I don't know what you're talking about.
- I'll tell you what I'm talking about.

1:29:11
You lied because you had a fight with
Scrub White, but it wasn't about politics.

1:29:16
You never mentioned politics.
That was your first lie, wasn't it?

1:29:19
- It was politics, I tell you. It was!
- No, you were fightin' about somethin' else.

1:29:22
- Maybe it was money.
- No.

1:29:24
- Maybe you owed him money,
or maybe he owed you some. - No. No.

1:29:27
Maybe he was gettin' a little graft here
and there, and you wanted to get in on it.

1:29:29
That ain't true.
1:29:30
- Maybe it was some girl.
- No, that ain't right.

1:29:32
- Well, what was it? It was one of those things.
- No.

1:29:34
Something made you
want to get rid of Scrub.

1:29:36
- You're crazy. Scrub was my friend.
- Maybe.

1:29:38
Just the same, you lied.
Now, why? Come on, tell us.

1:29:42
Why'd you say you saw what happened
when you didn't see?

1:29:45
- I -
- Well, I'll tell you what happened.

1:29:47
You heard a row,
and you saw the fight start...

1:29:50
and you come runnin', and you saw that Scrub,
was still livin'. - No.

1:29:54
- Right there on the ground, you saw
the knife that Matt had dropped. - No.

1:29:58
- You bent over him and picked up the knife.
- No.
