Friday: A lawyer, Martin Wells who is a friend of Doggett's, is in prison accused of murdering his wife. He is shot by his father-in-law.
As he dies, time goes backwards and he wakes up in his cell on Thursday, before the shooting. He has no memory of why he is in jail.
Wednesday: He tells Scully and Doggett that he is going backwards in time and that he doesn't remember the murder since it has not yet happened, from his point of view.
Tuesday: He wakes up in Doggett's house and sees news of the murder on the television. He takes Doggett to his apartment and they watch a security video tape which shows his innocence. They find the killer.
Monday: He wakes up before the murder and talks Doggett into getting the police to prevent the murder. He also confesses the murderer's motive to Doggett; he concealed evidence in a trial against the murderer's brother.
The murderer is late and arrives after the police have left. He attacks Wells and his wife. Doggett arrives in time to save them. Wells ends up in jail anyway - presumably for concealing evidence.
