Neal cups the ball in his hands, staring at it. "Before Keller showed up... Mozzie gave me an ultimatum. He found out I had a copy of the manifest. He said since he knew what was safe to sell, he was taking the treasure and he was leaving New York, with or without me."
He finally looks up at Raylan, not knowing how much of a plea is on his face. "I told him I wasn't going. I didn't want to go. When everything happened, with Keller, I was going to turn myself in afterward. Tell them I took the plunder and faked that it got destroyed. Then Keller took credit for the whole thing. Finding the treasure, all of it. He did it for his ego and to get in good with the Russian mob, but... he got me off the hook in the process."
Neal rolls the little ball from one hand to the other, then back again. "I didn't want to go."
