Full Script

Evans: Told you it was a matter of time little fucker. Your DNA is all over Monique's body, and we have evidence that she was sexually assaulted. If you want to enter a plea bargain then you'll have to confess and beg for forgiveness. Otherwise they'll throw the book at you. Marcus is silent.

Evans: Are you ready to tell us what happened? Marcus is defeated. He has no choice but to come clean. Marcus is a sociopath and he speaks frankly with no emotion. After a long and awkward silence moment Marcus starts to talk.

Marcus: I skipped school. I went over to the Watson's door. I knocked on it, and Monique opened it. I asked her if anybody else was home, she said no. I told her my mom wanted to talk to her. Of course she came with me, she knows my mom. I took her in my room and told her to take off her clothes. She didn't want to. She was real scared. She kept promising she wouldn't tell anybody if I just let her go. I didn't believe her so I made her swear. On the Bible. She did it. I picked her up and put her on the bed. She barely even fought, I could tell she was real scared. I fucked her. It was whatever. 106. My brain started moving real fast and I figured there was no way she was gonna keep that a secret. I'd already got too close to getting caught for that shit before. It felt like it was somebody else doing it. Like I was just watching it happen. I hit her. Real hard. She fell down, and she looked dead. I went in the kitchen to try to find a bag to stuff her in. When I came back in she was up and tryina get out the front door. That was a bad look so I dragged her back in the bedroom and I put a pillow on her head. I held it there until she stopped moving around. It wasn't hard, she was real small. Once I was sure she was dead I wrapped her up in a rug and carried her down to the basement. I was watching my neighbor's place. I put her in a box in his storage. Then I brought the rug back up to the house. Nobody knew. Marcus reflects for a moment.

Marcus: At first I kept checking on her.

(smiles)

Marcus: I kept thinking maybe she wasn't dead. Like she was gonna get up and walk out and tell on me. I was too scared to move her, and after a while I just forgot about it. Until y'all came around I wasn't even thinking about it anymore. I can't believe you guys walked down there with me and didn't find her. Spaulding and Evans normal intense bravado has been taken down a few notches. They are shocked by the story and the blunt, emotionless manner in which Marcus speaks.

Evans: You're going away for a long, long time. CUT TO: 107.
