Summary: 

Bill Terrel tells Gavin Stevens of how he manipulated Monk into taking the Warden's pistol so that, as Monk parroted in his dying declaration, they can know "where to get off" the train "and farm in the free world like God wanted us to do" (61). This information explains why Monk connected knowing right from wrong with knowing where to get off the train in his final conversation with Stevens (51).
