Yes.
Yes, on my soul's salvation.
You've sworn by your salvation.
We will pray.
Detective!
Detective Black?
Looks like they got him.
Highway Patrol picked up a match
on the truck with an Indian driver.
I gave you a new headband, Toby.
I know you lost yours.
Toby, I can't see your eyes, buddy.
You'll like this.
Let's see it.
Toby, you've already served time
for one charge of juvenile rape now.
Statutory.
The girl was 16 years old.
Toby, would you tell him
that rape is rape?
You got three years of juvenile,
you got some burglary...
...you got some theft, grand theft.
Multiple counts of marijuana
possession. Then that first rape.
Section Four.
Man's got a mental handicap, Stan.
No.
Well, number one, that might not
take the violence out of you.
Number two,
I'm gonna get a confession.
And number three,
I'm gonna do it in record time.
How you doing, chief?
Scared of this thing?
Let's get it out of the way then.
Who you talking to, chief?
in your head?
- You a policeman?
- Yeah, I'm a policeman.
- I want to be a policeman too.
- You do, huh?
Policeman drive me here very fast.
Drive me fast.
- I'm just a trapper.
- We don't need this.
I trap beaver today.
Fifteen pounds or 25...
...or 35, something like that.
Maybe 80.
You mean beaver or you mean "beaver"?
- Beaver.
- Beaver? Pretty, young p*ssy?
- I don't know you joking me.
- You think I'm joking?
- I don't know.
- No?
I'm not joking you.
So you catch beaver, huh?
Yeah, I-
- Yeah, I catch beaver.
- You catch beaver? Little girl?
You catch little girl today, huh?
You rape little girl?
Is that what you did?
I rape, I rape.
You raped her, huh?
Yeah.
other rape, the one on his record.
We got positive I.D. from the kid.
This is a small town.
Just let him do his job.
Tell me about the girl.
You rape a little girl today?
It's okay.
You can tell me.
You killed her.
Didn't you, Toby?
It's all right.
It's okay, bud. Huh?
Something simply came
over you today, didn't it?
All at once you became like an animal?
You attacked and you raped her.
Then, Toby, you know,
without wanting to-
But sometimes you can't
stop yourself, you know?
And you murdered her, didn't you?
That hurts right there, doesn't it?
Yeah?
You like that, huh?
You like that? Huh?
Maybe you just wanted her to be quiet.
You just wanted her
to stop screaming at you.
Something was stronger than you, Toby.
Then, when you came to yourself...
...you were horrified.
Then you saw that little girl...
...and you ran.
- I ran. I ran, I ran.
