8-03insanity.wav
MARTIN WELLS: John, what am I doing here? I'm in this
cell, I don't know where I am or how I even got here and
everyone's acting like...
DOGGETT: I swear to God, on top of everything else,
do not play this with me. I will not be party to some half-assed,
11th-hour insanity defence.
8-03truth.wav
DOGGETT: It's time to start telling me the truth!
8-03tinh.wav
MARTIN WELLS: This is not happening.
8-03yes.wav
MARTIN WELLS: I don't know what I experienced. But what
if it was a premonition? A glimpse of the future. I mean, you do
hear about these kind of things.
SCULLY: Yes... You do.
8-03certain.wav
DOGGETT: Out of the blue. Charged with murder. You
wake up one morning and you can't remember a damn thing. Martin,
you haven't offered us one scrap of evidence to support your
story. Now, as your friend, I'm going to listen to anything you
have to say, but I will not be lied to.
MARTIN WELLS: I'm not lying to you. You're talking to me
about key cards. I'm sitting in a jail cell. I don't understand
any of this. But I did not... kill Vicky.
SCULLY: If you truly don't remember... then how
can you be certain that you didn't?
8-03put_me_in.wav
MARTIN WELLS: Do I know you?
SHORTY: No, you don't know me. Damn sure put me in
here, though.
8-03wife_killer_esq.wav
SHORTY: You remember my name?
MARTIN WELLS: No, I don't remember your name. All I
needed to know about you was that you broke the law.
SHORTY: I broke the law. Well, then, I guess that
makes you "Wife Killer, Esquire."
8-03freaking.wav
SCULLY: Are you saying that you don't remember the
day that your wife was murdered? I'm talking about two days ago,
Monday.
MARTIN WELLS: No, I don't... remember it, because for
me, it hasn't happened yet.
SCULLY: You do realize that you're not going to be
able to prove this, right? I mean, if, uh... if tomorrow is
really the day before today, then we won't have had this
conversation.
DOGGETT: Oh, for crying out loud.
SCULLY: It means you're going to have to tell us
all over again.
DOGGETT: Yeah, well, uh... make sure I skip that
freaking meeting.
8-03reason.wav
SCULLY: Why do you think it's happening?
MARTIN WELLS: I don't know. There has to be a reason.
SCULLY: What reason?
MARTIN WELLS: Something... I'm meant to understand?
Although I don't know what it could be.
SCULLY: Maybe you already have the answer within
you.
8-03technicalities.wav
SHORTY: Mmm-hmm, looking for some loopholes, huh?
Yeah, man, get yourself out of here. They just praying that you
find that one little technicality so they can let you go.
MARTIN WELLS: I'm not looking for technicalities.
SHORTY: Well, what are you looking for, brother?
MARTIN WELLS: The truth.
SHORTY: The truth? You better stick to the
technicalities!
8-03lost_me.wav
DOGGETT: Martin, you have seriously lost me. If
you're trying to admit something to me or to yourself, I want you
to just come out with it.
MARTIN WELLS: There's a reason all this is happening.
Maybe I already have the answer.
DOGGETT: Well, how's that?
8-03what_nanny-cam.wav
MARTIN WELLS: Trina, you knew about the Nanny-cam, didn't
you? You told the killer about it. You must have given him my key
card, too.
TRINA: Mr. Wells, I-I-I wasn't even there that
night.
DOGGETT: First thing you're supposed to say is:
"What nanny-cam?"
8-03only_you.wav
MARTIN WELLS: John, let me go in and talk to him. Please.
DOGGETT: He says he only wants to talk to you.
8-03bad_sign.wav
MARTIN WELLS: Vicky's going to be murdered inside of two
hours.
DOGGETT: Vicky? You mean your wife?
MARTIN WELLS: I called the Baltimore police but I can't
tell if they thought I was a crank. I need you to call them. Now,
I can describe the suspect, his name... everything.
DOGGETT: Well, how do you know all this?
MARTIN WELLS: I haven't got time to explain it. You
wouldn't believe it anyway.
DOGGETT: Now, Martin, you see, now, that's a bad
sign because it's two-something in the morning. I haven't seen
you in three years. You got to give me something more to go on.
8-03second_chance.wav
MARTIN WELLS: This is all happening for a reason. I...
I'm being given a second chance.
DOGGETT: A second chance to do what?
MARTIN WELLS: I prosecuted a man named Hector Ocampo. I
suppressed evidence. See, he was innocent of the crime he was
charged with.
DOGGETT: Martin, anything you say to me...
MARTIN WELLS: … you have to report. I put him away,
he died in prison, his brother wants revenge, and it is as simple
as that.
DOGGETT: You could be disbarred for what you're
telling me. You could go to prison, lose everything; do you
understand?
MARTIN WELLS: I understand that I can save Vicky.
8-03no_escape.wav
MARTIN WELLS: The passage of time in prisons is not in a
cell of brick and mortar but in one of hopes dashed and tragedies
unaverted. How precious, then, the chance to go back only to
discover that in facing the past you must face up to yourself...
that exiting the prison of time doesn't free you from the prison
of your own character... one from which there is no escape.
