  Speaker 6: Cora?
• 22:58

• 23:30
  Speaker 3: What caused you to kill the old sailor get that
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: chat away?

  Speaker 5: Well?
• 23:35
  Speaker 13: He said that he sold the cat, and I didn't
• 23:36
  Speaker 13: believe him. We had an argument and he would have
• 23:39
  Speaker 13: been able to identify me.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: Why did you kill mister Chang because we.
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: Were in it together. I promised to the chair to
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: keep quiet. Instead he talked, I had to kill.
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: Him, just as you were going to kill Cory here
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: a minute ago.
• 23:50

  Speaker 3: coming for you, Paul, to make you pay the full
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: penalty for the crimes you committed. You weed of crime.
• 24:34
