Each passing year has seen our estimate of
the probability of life in space increase,...

..along with our capabilities of detecting it.

Scientists feel that contact
with other civilisations. ..

..is no longer beyond our dreams,...

..but is a natural event
in the history of mankind...

..that will perhaps occur within
the lifetime of many of us.

- Excuse me.
- Make way. Let her through.

Agent Scully?
Detective Rempulski, Alexandria PD.

Thanks for coming down to do this.

It him?

Yeah.

Agent Scully, please have a seat.

Agent Scully, we've had a brief discussion,...

..but will you restate the matter
we're here to put to rest?

Yes, sir.

Four years ago,...

..Section Chief Blevins assigned me
to a project you all know as the X-Files.

As I am a medical doctor with
a background in hard science,...

..my job was to provide
an analytical perspective...

..on the work of Special Agent Fox Mulder,...

..whose investigations
into the paranormal...

..were fuelled by a personal belief...

..that his sister had been abducted
by aliens when he was 12.

I come here today, four years |ater,...

..to report on the illegitimacy
of Agent Mulder's work.

It is my scientific opinion...

..that he became,
over the course of these years,...

..a victim.

A victim of his own false hopes,...

..and of his belief...

..in the biggest of lies.

We'll meet the guide at base camp.
He'll take us to the site.

- Has he seen it?
- Oh, yeah. He said it's unbelievable.

- How soon can we get to the site?
- Right now?

We'd be pushing it to be up top by nightfall.

I'd rather sleep seeing it
than lay awake all night wondering.

- It'll take some work.
- I've waited all my life for this day.

Let's do it.

How you doin'?

My God!

It's beautiful.

Agent Scully, I presume you have a basis
for this break from Agent Mulder.

Yes, sir.

Recent events have shed new light
on the factual and physical evidence...

..that would prove the existence
of extraterrestrial life, . ..

..which is the foundation of
Agent Mulder's devotion to his work.

What factual evidence?

Agent Mulder was contacted by a man...

..whose pursuit of this evidence
seemed to coincide with his own.

In his intense desire to believe,...

..Agent Mulder was duped by this man.

He was fooled by an act
of scientific sleight of hand...

..calculated to perpetuate
false truths. The larger lie.

I am here today to expose this |ie,...

..to show the mechanism of deception...

..that drew him and me into it,...

..and to expose Agent Mulder's work
for what it is.

- Hi.
- Speaking of Bill, is he coming?

Good evening. May I take your coat?

There he is.

Hi.

Hello, Dana.

- Look at you.
- Look at you, my big brother.

I'm sorry I'm late.
My ship got stuck in traffic.

- Did you get my birthday card?
- Yes. Thanks for remembering this year.

Once a decade.

- How are you, Dana?
- I'm fine. Let's get some dinner, huh?

Yeah, I'm starving.

(Bill) So the parrot says
"I only got one question."

"What did that chicken in there do?"

(laughter)

- Mom, I'll open some more wine.
- OK.

- I feel awkward here. I'm sure you do too.
- No, I'm sorry.

I've known your family for so many years.

Your mother asked me to come,
that I might have a word with you.

I know it's been some time
since we've spoken ourselves,...

- ..since you drifted from the church.
- Father McCue...

But at a time of personal crisis,
a threat to your health,...

..turning back to your faith
is important and essential.

Father McCue,...

..I appreciate my mother's concern,
and yours,...

..but I'm being treated for my cancer,
and I'm taking every precaution.

Faith can make you stronger.

I haven't felt a need.

I have strength, and...

..I'm not gonna come running back now.

It's just not who I am.
I'd be lying to myself and to you.

Dana.

Phone.

Excuse me.

- Hello.
- It's me. Sorry to interrupt your dinner.

- No... is something the matter?
- I need your help on something.

Somebody named Arlinsky just
contacted me from the Smithsonian.

Contacted you about what?

About something he found
on a mountain in Canada.

I'd rather not talk over the phone.
Meet me at the Smithsonian.

- When?
- Right away.

I'm on my way.

I'll apologise to your brother and mother.
This couldn't wait, though.

It's OK. Who is this Arlinsky?

A forensics anthropologist I've been
in contact with for four years.

He was involved in a UFO
photo-enhancement scandal,...

..but continues to profess his innocence.

- What am I coming to see?
- I'm not telling you.

I want you to decide for yourself.

I estimate, from the sediment
in our ice-core samples,...

..the body you're looking at
is over 200 years old.

- It looks perfectly intact.
- Yeah.

There would've been signs of predation.

But the position he was found in,
in a crevice at high altitude,...

..he may have frozen fast enough
to avoid being eaten.

- Does that fit geologically?
- The area where he was found...

..is in the moraine of a glacier
which has since receded.

200 years ago, the area where he was
frozen was within the tree line.

- There would've been a thaw.
- Who found him?

A Canadian geodetic survey team.

Along with a colleague of mine named
Babcock. They're still on the mountain.

Who else knows about this?

No one.

I know what your first thought was.

But the St Elias range?
That's a long way to go for a hoax.

If you're gonna go, why not go all the way?

I'm circumspect myself, but the
ice-core samples I took can't be faked.

- You have the ice-core samples here?
- Yeah. Yeah.

One taken from each side of the body.

A 360-degree matching integrity
of sediment.

It's my sincere belief...

..that what we have here...

..is the complete corpus of an
extraterrestrial biological entity.

Absolute and irrefutable.

Qualitativer indefensible.
Go public and nobody will believe you.

The same people who buried the truth
will be in charge of its authentication.

That's why I came to you.

I need to get the specimen out
so I can authenticate it.

This body means everything to you,
Agent Mulder.

- You're gonna have the proof in your hands.
- And what do you want?

We just want the credit.

- Do you think it's foolish?
- I have no opinion, actually.

- You have no opinion?
- This is your holy grail, not mine.

What does that mean?

Proving to the world the existence
of alien life is not my last dying wish.

How about Santa Claus
or the Easter Bunny?

This is not a selfish pet project of mine.

I'm as sceptical of that man as you are,...

..but definitive proof of sentient beings
would change everything.

Every truth would be shaken to the ground.
There is no greater revelation imaginable.

You already believe, Mulder.

What difference will it make?
What will proof change for you?

If someone could prove to you
the existence of God, would it change you?

Only if it had been disproven.

Then you accept the possibility
that belief in God is a lie?

I don't think about it, actually.
I don't think it can be proven.

But what if it could be? Wouldn't that
knowledge be worth seeking?

Or is itjust easier
to go on believing the lie?

I can't go with you, Mulder.

Can you at least look at those core samples
and tell me if they're a lie?

That's all I'm asking.

What I couldn't tell Agent Mulder,...

..what I had onlyjust learned myself,...

..was that the cancer which had been
diagnosed earlier had metastasised.

The doctors told me, short of a miracle,...

..it would continue
to aggressively invade my body,...

..advancing faster each day
towards the inevitable.

What's that for?

- I don't know these men well. Do you?
- Well enough.

I'm gonna be up here alone
until you get back.

I hope I don't have to use it.

I think you'd better have a look at this.

We were doing a lateral cut to the back
corner when I saw something in the ice.

Right here.

What do you think that is?

I don't know.
It could be a bubble. A weak spot.

Or a casting channel. A pour hole.

Liquid poured in from the side
or above somehow.

Poured from where?

- I don't know.
- The angle wouldn't make sense.

Yeah. You're right.

We'll never know
until we get it out of there.

(chain saw)

Ion concentration, density and
temperature profiles are consistent.

There's a tight matrix of crystals
at proximal centre,...

..suggesting the quick-freezing scenario.

At the terminus
are particulate hydrocarbons:

jet-fuel pollutants found
just about everywhere.

- But not in old ice?
- Don't misunderstand. This is old ice.

This sample has layers of sedimentation,
like the rings on a tree essentially.

- So it hasn't been tampered with?
- No. Not from what I can see here.

- Can I ask why you're testing this ice?
- Another agent asked me to.

Do you know where this sample came from?

From a site in the Yukon Territory. Why?

There's some cellular material
within the matrix.

Plant or animal?

I don't know. It's what I'd have to
classify a chimera. A hybrid cell.

- From what?
-As I said, I don't know.

- Is it capable of cell division?
- I don't know that either.

I'd like to get them under our
electron microscope, if that's OK.

Yes. Please.

(gun cocked)

I thought you said someone would meet us.

Yeah, a guide named Rolston.

I don't get it.

This had all been arranged. He knew he was
supposed to take us up to the summit.

I don't know what to do.

We can probably follow
this track right up to the site.

Maybe we'll meet him on the way down.

Funny place to take a nap.

- He's been shot.
- God...

- This our guide?
- Yeah.

Excuse me. I'm looking for Dr Vitagliano.

Dr Vitagliano... Is he here?

No, I'm afraid not.

I was supposed to meet him here.
Actually, I'm a little late.

Sorry.

(Arlinsky) Oh, my God!

They're all dead! They've been shot!

Babcock!

The body.

It's gone!

They took it!

No one knew. We didn't tell a soul.

They had radio communication.
Maybe it was being monitored.

(groaning)

Someone's still alive.

- It's Babcock.
- Get me some water.

Looks like he took a shotgun hit.

It's not too bad. The bleeding's stopped.

Who did this?

- Here you go.
- They took the body, Babcock.

No... I buried it.

Where?

Dana?

Bill. What are you doing here?

I picked up the phone
when they called Mom's.

Said you could use a change of clothes.

Thank you. Where's Mom?

I didn't tell Mom what happened.

- So what did happen?
- I, uh...

I was knocked down a flight of stairs.
But I'm OK. Luckily.

You're not OK, Dana.

I know about your cancer.

- I told Mom not to tell you.
- Why?

Because it's very personal.

Because I don't want sympathy.

You think you can cure yourself.

Mom tells me that you've gotten worse,...

..that your cancer's gone
into your bloodstream.

What are you doing getting beaten up?
Trying to prove you're going out fighting?

Come on, Bill.

You know what Mom is going through?

Why do you think
I didn't tell her they called?

What should I be doing?

We have a responsibility
to the people in our lives!

Just because I haven't bared my soul
to you or to Father McCue or to God...

..doesn't mean I'm not responsible
to what's important.

To what? To who? This guy Mulder?

Where is he, Dana?
Where is he through all this?

Thank you for coming.

Dana...

We can do a good enough examination
of the body here, to remove any doubt.

We won't know for sure
until we do a carbon dating.

I anticipate his physiology alone
will be telltale.

The Piltdown-man hoax
wasn't uncovered for 40 years,

until it failed the carbon-dating test.

If this were a hoax, would we have
six dead men up on that mountain?

Somebody other than us
sure as hell believes it's not.

That's a heavily trafficked stairwell,...

..so we went back to the bio lab, where
we found an anomalous set of latents.

We found a partial matching in the stairwell,
four centimetres from one of yours.

- Have you run it through the NCIC?
- Yep.

This is your assailant. Unfortunately,
he doesn't have a criminal record.

Try the federal database.

How'd you know he'd be
a government employee?

Where does he work?

Right here in Washington.

Michael Kritschgau,
formerly of the US Army,...

..now attached to the Pentagon's
research division in Virginia.

Is this the man?

The body is 147 centimetres Iong,...

..weighing 24 kilograms deliquesced.

Derma is hairless, grey with
an elephantine texture, with no odour.

There are some small eruptions
on the surface of the skin,...

..mostly likely due to the presence
of iron phosphate in the ice.

Otherwise there appears to be no scarring
and no identifying marks.

The circumference of the head
is 64 centimetres.

There are four digits on each hand
and three on each foot.

Sex is indeterminate.

The eyes are lidless, black,...

..covered by what appears to be a thin
membrane, which I am now removing.

The tissue underneath...

..seems to be semigelatinous...

..with a fine network of veins
running throughout.

Examination of the chest
confirms the presence...

..of what appears to be
a cardiopulmonary system.

Heart and lungs all identifiable...

..within a mass of white stringlike tissue...

..that doesn't appear to correspond
to human physiology.

(brakes screech)

Stop! Federal Agent!

Hold it!

Michael Kritschgau!

You are under arrest!

Identify your location!

Get out of the car!

Now!

Move!

Please don't shoot. I didn't mean
to hurt you. I had no choice.

- Hands on the car!
- If you arrest me, they'll kill me.

- I don't know what you're talking about.
- The same people who are trying to kill you.

The people who gave you your cancer.

There's tissue-culturing to be done,
DNA sequence and analysis.

We'd be wise to run a gas chromatograph,
and that carbon dating.

But, if this isn't alien,
I don't know what it is.

(phone rings)

Mulder.

I had reached Agent Mulder in a warehouse,
just outside of Washington in Sethsburg.

They had managed the frozen corpse
by helicopter...

..down the side of the mountain,...

..and across the Canadian border
in a refrigerated truck.

After conducting a limited
physical examination,...

..Agent Mulder was ready to believe...

..that the body was that of an
extraterrestrial biological entity.

That he had finally found the proof
which had eluded him,...

..which would confirm not only
the existence of alien life,...

..but of his sister Samantha's abduction.

But this man Kritschgau
had convinced you otherwise. How?

He told me a story
which detailed, point by point,...

..the systematic way in which Agent Mulder
had been deceived and used,...

..and howl, as his partner,
had been led down the same path,...

..Iosing a family member
due to my allegiance,...

..and contracting a fatal disease,
which I was being told was engineered...

..by the men responsible
for Agent Mulder's deception.

Were you able to convince
Mulder of these facts?

l was only able
to convince him to meet me...

..so that he might
hear the story the way I had.

Who the hell is this?

Right there, pork.

- How's the wound?
- I'll live.

What is this, Babcock?

Get the door.

(gunshot)

- Where did Mulder go?
- He got a call.

- Is he a believer?
- Oh, yeah.

Then we're the only ones who know.

Right.

The lie you believe,...

..that they have cleverly led you
to believe, Agent Mulder,...

..is that there is intelligent life
other than our own...

..and that we have had contact
with these life forms.

So you're saying this has all
been orchestrated? A hoax?

- Which you've been used to perpetuate.
- You come by this knowledge how?

Working for the DOD.

Watching a military-industrial complex...

..that operated unchecked
during the Cold War...

..create a diversion of attention from itself
and its continued misdeeds...

..by confabulating enough
believable evidence...

..to convince passionate adepts like
yourself... that it really could be true.

And just by chance
you run into Agent Scully?

I was just like you, Agent Mulder.

Suspicious of everything
but what you should be.

I ran the DOD's agitprop arm for a decade.

I can show you records of disinformation
dating back to the Korean War.

Why come to me now?
Why not four years ago?

I have a son who's very sick.

He served in the Gulf War.

The lies are so deep,...

..the only way to cover them...

..is to create something
even more incredible.

They invented you.

Your regression hypnosis,
the story of your sister's abduction,...

..the lies they fed your father.

You wanted to believe so badly.
And who could have blamed you?

And the thousands of UFO sightings?

Above-top-secret military aircraft
concept-designed to feed hysteria.

Evidence of alien biology?

Unclassified but naturally
occurring biologic anomalies...

..science will eventually explain.

- The body that was found?
- Constructed out of biomaterials...

..created through the hybridisation
of differentiated cells.

What are called chimeras.
Frozen into place over the course of a year...

..using materials that would
bear out its age,...

..poured through a small channel
drilled in the rock above.

They would've known the body
would be carbon-dated,

that it would be proved a fake.

- The body will never be tested.
- What do you mean?

You were only meant to see it...

..to make you believe the lie,
so that you might finally commit...

..and go public with the news.

This man is a liar.

You can see for yourself, Agent Mulder.

The body is already long gone.

(Mulder) Dr Arlinsky?

It's gone.

Mulder?

- (Mulder groans)
- What?

It's Arlinsky. He's dead.

So is this man.

Who did this, Mulder?

Mulder?

What we had here was proof.
No way it could be anything else.

You said it yourself:
more tests needed to be run.

But the ice-core samples checked out.
How could the body within be a fake?

Material found in the ice-core samples...

..were a direct match for what
this man Kritschgau described:

hybrid cells, chimeras within the matrix.

Do we know for sure those cells
are not extraterrestrial?

Everything this man described...
You can'tjust guess at these details.

The facts completely overwhelm
any argument against them.

Facts overwhelmed by the lies
created to support them.

The only lie here is the one
that you continue to believe.

After all I've seen and experienced,
I refuse to believe that it's not true.

Because it's easier
to believe the lie, isn't it?

What the hell did that guy say to you
that you believe his story?

He said that the men behind this hoax,...

..behind these Iies,...

..gave me this disease to make you believe.

What we generally mean
is "intelligent" life, . . .

..something resembling our noble selves.

It is highly probable...

..that there are such
intelligent forms of life...

..in other galaxies in the universe.

And it is even more probable...

..that many of these forms are
vastly more intelligent than we.

I think there's no question but that
we live in an inhabited universe...

..that has life all over it.

By finding out what
the other planets are like,...

..by finding out whether there are
civilisations on planets of other stars,...

..we re-establish
a meaningful context for ourselves.

I don 't think we should wait
until the encounter occurs,...

..but that we should do all in our power
to prepare ourselves for it.

I can conceive of no nightmare
as terrifying...

..as establishing such communication...

..with a so-called superior...

..or, if you wish,
advanced technology in outer space.

Early this morning...
I got a call from the police,...

..asking me to come
to Agent Mulder's apartment.

The detective asked me...

He needed me to identify a body.

Agent Scully...

Agent Mulder died late last night...

..from an apparent self-inflicted
gunshot wound to the head.
