I'll meet you there. 61 00:06:34,478 --> 00:06:39,066 The conspicuous absence of any contusions or lacerations would strongly suggest... 62 00:06:39,149 --> 00:06:42,987 That the victim's injuries were sustained without a struggle. 63 00:06:43,070 --> 00:06:46,365 I would have to concur with the county coroner's report... 64 00:06:46,448 --> 00:06:51,662 That her murder was probably a sudden and violent act in a vulnerable moment. 65 00:06:51,745 --> 00:06:56,917 Beyond this, I've found nothing to recommend further investigation. 66 00:06:57,001 --> 00:06:59,753 - Beyond what? - Her spinal cord was crushed. 67 00:06:59,837 --> 00:07:03,632 The cervical vertebrae was fractured in what appears to be manual trauma. 68 00:07:03,716 --> 00:07:06,135 Were Skinner's the only prints on the body? 69 00:07:06,218 --> 00:07:09,221 So far.

He never told us. 143 00:13:11,625 --> 00:13:15,295 One of the things Walter has always been good at is keeping secrets. 144 00:13:15,379 --> 00:13:18,048 We haven't been together for almost eight months. 145 00:13:18,131 --> 00:13:21,218 Has he always been such a private person? 146 00:13:21,301 --> 00:13:26,974 It's more than that. He lives under this misguided notion that silence is strength. 147 00:13:27,057 --> 00:13:29,685 He's built a wall to keep everyone out. 148 00:13:29,768 --> 00:13:32,688 - Including you? - Especially me. 149 00:13:33,939 --> 00:13:36,441 Is that why you were separated? 150 00:13:37,776 --> 00:13:41,196 Yeah, I just realised one day that we were no longer married. 151 00:13:41,279 --> 00:13:43,824 We'd become roommates instead. 152 00:13:43,907 --> 00:13:48,078 We were paying the bills, taking out the garbage... 153 00:13:48,161 --> 00:13:51,123 And I couldn't live like that any more. 154 00:13:51,206 --> 00:13:53,291 'Scuse me. 155 00:13:55,335 --> 00:13:57,295 Scully. 156 00:13:57,379 --> 00:14:01,383 You were one of the few people that Walter ever mentioned from work. 157 00:14:01,466 --> 00:14:07,764 Not that he said much. But, from the way he talked, I could tell he respected you. 158 00:14:07,848 --> 00:14:11,268 That's probably why I feel that I can ask you. 159 00:14:11,351 --> 00:14:15,105 - Ask me what? - If Walter really killed that woman. 160 00:14:16,523 --> 00:14:19,109 Sorry.
