Malcolm: Did anybody ever die on your table there?
Martin: Only one. Emilia Wheaton. Congenital heart defect. She never had a chance.
Malcolm: Did you purposely kill her?
Martin: I never hurt a patient on purpose. I follow the Hippocratic Oath to the letter, albeit with one small asterisk.
Malcolm: He tried to kill me when I was ten years old. I found the girl. I learned what he was. And he wanted to silence me.
Martin: This is John Watkins. He's taking the word of a serial killer over --
Jessica: Over who? A serial killer? You bastard!
Yes, it's true. I took you up to the cabin to kill you. The chloroform had lost its efficacy, so I thought I'd nip it in the bud, but I couldn't bring myself to go through with it. That was my choice, and god knows I've been paying for it ever since. You made sure of that.

Martin: Well, look at that. Steady as a statue.
Malcolm: He's right. It's the only way.
Gil: Kid, what happened at Clairmont? Jessica stabbed him. You were there.
Malcolm: How is she? Is she alright?
Gil: JT and Dani are talking to her down at the precinct, and I'm talking to you.
You know there is a point where you can pierce the heart and not affect a single coronary artery. You can be stabbed right here, and somehow emerge perfectly fine. But naturally, the margin for error is nil. If you miss the target, the heart will fail and no surgeon, not even me, can save you then. It's like threading the eye of a needle.
Martin
