Request quote confirming suicide of character

edit

I only saw the movie in a theater during its release, so I'm not claiming my memory is 100% accurate today. But my impression was that he got into the car, turned the ignition key, and the car blew up. I thought he was murdered for being a traitor to the syndicate. Suicide didn't even enter my mind at the time. I don't recall seeing him planting a bomb in his own car, a suicide note being found, or any other character discussing his death afterward, let alone as a suicide. If any of those are in the movie or a director's cut, please let me know. It is claimed that Chris Carter & Frank Spotnitz, narrators of the DVD commentary discuss the character's death as a suicide. Considering that the show's two most famous taglines are "I want to believe" and "Trust no one," I would respectfully like someone to post a relevant transcript excerpt from the DVD commentary that conclusively proves it was a suicide, and not something ambiguous like, "Well, we wanted to make it look like it could be a suicide or a murder or maybe he even crawled out the passenger door before it went off." Obviously, with the actor playing him having since died in real life, there is no chance of a miraculous resurrection in a future movie. Thanks. 5Q5 (talk) 17:20, 14 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

To quote the commentary, "then the big surprise twist was the suicide of Well-Manicured Man and the car explosion; we had different ideas on how to explode the car". It then goes on to discuss different planned visuals. They don't dwell on possibilities; it's just called a "suicide" pretty bluntly. GRAPPLE X 23:14, 14 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
Thanks. I thought you reverted me in the article, but it looks like I was wrong. I apologize. It's also possible I just crossed over from a parallel universe where I saw revert in the history log because I could swear I did. Strange. Again, sorry. 5Q5 (talk) 15:36, 15 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
