Original subtitles

It's Stevie, okay?

I got... I got... I got the

wind knocked out of me. Looks like a cave or something.

You okay?

Hey, man.

Let's get out of here.

Isn't there a 14-footer?

Captain Miles Coolis.

Got a rescue situation in progress.

I'll be the old town road I see. Ropes in the hole. Let's go.

Two down.

What you got, TC? Talk to me.

Do you see the boy? Talk to me.

Come back, TC. You see the kid?

Danny, check TC's radio.

TC? Glenn, Sal, in the hole.

Get those people out of here! Move them back!

The hell is this?

It's Braunschweig.

Sir, the impossible scenario that we never planned for?

Well, we better come up with a plan.

The building has been through from bottom to top.

There's no trace of an explosive device or anything resembling one.

Have you sent the dogs through yet?

Yes, sir.

Well, send them through again.

Mulder, it's me.

Where are you, Scully? I'm on the roof.

Did you find anything?

No, I haven't.

What's wrong?

Well, I just climbed up 12 floors.

I'm hot.

I'm thirsty.

And to be honest, I'm wondering what I'm doing up here.

You're looking for a bomb.

Yes, I know that. But the threat was called into the federal building across

the street.

I think they have that covered.

Mulder, when a terrorist bomb threat is called in, the rational purpose of

providing that information is to allow us to find the bomb.

The rational object of terrorism is to promote terror.

If you study the statistics, you find a model behavioral pattern for virtually

every case where a threat has turned up an explosive device.

And if we don't act in accordance with that data, if you ignore it as we have

done, the chances are great that if there actually is a bomb, we might not

find it.

Lives could be lost.

Mulder. Mulder.

Boo.

Jesus, Mulder.

Whatever happened to playing a hunch, Scully?

The element of surprise, random acts of unpredictability.

If we fail to anticipate the unforeseen or expect the unexpected in a universe

of infinite possibilities, we may find ourselves at the mercy of anyone or

anything that cannot be programmed, categorized, or easily referenced.

What are we doing up here, Scully? It's hotter than hell.

I know you're bored in this assignment, Mulder, but unconventional thinking is

only going to get you into trouble now.

Makes you think I'm bored.

You've got to quit looking for what isn't there.

They've closed the X-Files.

There's procedure to be followed now. Protocol.

Maybe we should call in a bomb threat to Houston. I think it's free beer night at

the Astrodome.

Block? So much for anticipating the unforeseen.

I had you. No, you didn't. Oh, yeah.

I had you big time. You had nothing.

Come on, I saw you jiggle the handle.

I saw your face, Mulder. There was a definite moment of panic. You've never

seen me panic.

When I panic, I make this face.

That was the face.

You didn't see that face. I saw that face.

You're buying.

Coke, Pepsi, saline IV?

Something sweet.

Scully. Scully, I found the bomb.

You're funny.

Where are you, Mulder? I'm in the vending room.

Is that you pounding?

Yeah, you gotta get somebody to open that door.

Nice try, Mulder.

Look, Scully, it's in the soda machine. You got about 14 minutes to evacuate

this building.

Come on, Mulder.

1356.

1354.

1352.

1350.

You see a pattern emerging here, Scully?

Hold on, Mulder. I'm going to get you out of there.

Egypt's building evacuated and cleared out in ten minutes.

I want you to call the fire department.

Ten minutes? Don't think.

Pick up that phone and make it happen.

This is security.

This is Special Agent Dana Scully. Annie to speak with SAC Michaud.

He's got the wrong building.

Scully, you know that face I just showed you?

I'm making it again.

Mulder move away from the door, we're coming through it.

Tell me, that's the soda pop in those canisters.

That's just what it looks like.

Big IED.

Ten gallons of Astrolite.

Okay.

Get everybody out of here. Clear the area.

Come on, let's go.

Somebody's got to stay here with you. I just gave you an order. Now get the hell

out of here and evacuate the building. Can you defuse it?

Yes, I can.

We got less than four minutes to find out if you're right.

Did you hear what I said?

Get out.

Something's not right. Logan, get in the car.

There's no time!

Next time you're buying.

In light of Waco and Ruby Ridge, there's a heightened need at the Attorney

General's office to...

placed responsibility as early as possible for the catastrophic

destruction of public property and loss of life due to terrorist activities.

Many details are still unclear, but we're under some pressure from the

Attorney General to give an accurate picture of what happened so that she can

issue a public statement.

We know now that five people died in the explosion.

Special...

Special agent in charge, Darius Michaud, who was trying to defuse the bomb.

Three firemen from Dallas and a young boy.

I'd like to begin this interview... Excuse me, the firemen and the young

boy, they were found in the building?

Agent Mulder, since you weren't able to be on time for this hearing, I'd like

you to step outside so that we can hear Agent Scully's version of the facts so

that she will not be paid the same disrespect.

We had been told the building was clear.

You'll get your turn, Agent Mulder. Please step outside.

Go down there. We'll talk it in. Call it.

About what?

They're asking her for a narrative. They want to know why she was in the wrong

building.

She was with me.

You don't see what's going on here, do you?

There's $45 million worth of damage to the city of Dallas. Lives have been

lost. No suspects have been named.

So the story that's being shaped is that this could have been prevented.

They want to blame us?

Agent, you and I both know that if it looks bad, it's bad for the FBI.

Blame has to be assigned somewhere.

If they want somebody to blame, they can blame me. Agent Scully doesn't deserve

this. She's in there right now saying the same thing about you. I breached

protocol. I broke contact with the SAC. I ignored a primary tactical rule and

left them alone with the device.

Agent Scully said that it was she who ordered you out of the building. You

wanted to go back in.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you.

Whatever you told them in their cell, you don't have to protect me.

All I told them was the truth.

They're trying to divide us on this and we can't let them.

Walter, they have divided us.

They're splitting us up.

What?

I have a meeting with OPR Day after tomorrow for remediation and

reassignment. They're the ones that put us together.

Because they wanted me to invalidate your investigations into the paranormal.

But I think this goes deeper than that now. This is not about you, Scully.

They're doing this to me.

They're not doing this.

Mulder, I left behind a career in medicine because I thought that I could

make a difference at the FBI.

But it hasn't turned out that way.

And now if they were to transfer me to Omaha or Cleveland or some field office,

it just doesn't hold the interest for me that it once did.

Not after what I've seen and done.

You're quitting.

Maybe you should ask yourself if your heart's still in it, too.

Agent Mulder, you're up.

Mother.

Blood.

I'd say this about exceeds your minimum daily requirement.

Well, you've got to train for that kind of heavy lifting.

Loopy day?

So,

what do you do?

I'm the key figure in an ongoing government charade, the plot to conceal

the truth about the existence of extraterrestrials.

It's a global conspiracy, actually, with key players, the highest levels of

power, and it reaches down into the lives of every man, woman, and child on

this planet.

So, of course, no one believes me. I'm an annoyance to my superiors, a joke to

my peers. They call me spooky.

Spooky Mulder, whose sister was abducted by aliens when he was just a kid, and

now chases after little green men with a badge and a gun, shouting to the heavens

or anyone who'll listen that the fix is in, that the sky is falling.

And when it hits, it's going to be the shitstorm of all time.

Well, I would say that about does it, Spooky.

Does what?

Well, looks like 86 is your lucky number.

You know, one

is the loneliest number.

Hello? Sorry.

That official FBI business?

What?

That the Bureau is accusing you of the same thing in Dallas.

Standing around holding your yank while bombs are exploding.

Do I know you?

No, but I've been watching your career for a good while.

Back when you were just a promising young agent.

Before that.

You come out here for a reason?

Yeah, I did.

My name is Kurt Weill.

Dr. Alvin Kurzweil.

Am I supposed to know that name? Old friend of your father's.

Back at the Department of State, we were what you might call fellow travelers.

But his disenchantment outlasted mine.

Right.

I'll go ahead and get number one.

How'd you find me?

I heard you come in here now and again. Figured you'd be eating a little drinky

tonight. You a reporter?

I'm a doctor, but I think I mentioned that. O-B-G-Y-N.

You got something to tell me you got as much time as it takes for me to hail a

cab?

There's something you don't know about the bombing in Dallas.

What's that?

S.A.C. Darius Michaud never tried or intended to defuse that bomb.

He just let it explode in his face, huh?

What's the question no one's asking?

Why that building?

Why not the federal building?

The federal building was too well guarded.

No. They put the bomb in the building across the street because they don't

have federal offices there.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency had a provisional medical quarantine

office there, which is where the bodies were found.

But that's the thing, the thing you didn't know, the thing you'd never think

to check.

Those people were already dead.

Before the bomb went off.

That's what I'm saying.

Darius Michaud was a 22-year veteran of the Bureau. Michaud was a patriot.

The people he was loyal to know their way around Dallas.

They blew that building to hide something, maybe even something they

couldn't predict.

You're telling me they blew up that entire building just to hide the bodies

of those firemen? And one little boy.

I think you're full of shit.

Do you?

Arlington, please.

Actually, you know, let's go to Georgetown.

I woke you. Did I wake you? No.

Why not? It's three in the morning.

Are you drunk, Mulder?

I was until about 20 minutes ago, yeah.

Was that before or after you decided to come here?

What exactly are you implying?

Go home, Mulder. Get dressed.

It's late.

Get dressed.

What are you doing? Just get dressed and I'll explain on the way.

We brought

the

atmosphere back down to freezing in order to control the development, which

is like nothing we've ever seen.

Brought on by what?

Heat, I think.

The coincident invasion of a host, the fireman, and an environment that raised

his body temperature above 98.6.

This man's still alive.

Technically. And biologically, but...

He'll never recover.

How can I see?

The developing organism is using his life energy, digesting bone and tissue.

We've just slowed the process.

Do you want us to destroy this one, too, before it gestates?

No, no.

We need to try our vaccine on it.

And if it's unsuccessful?

Burn it.

Like the others.

How do you employ your visiting police?

We're going down to the morgue.

The area is currently off limits to anyone other than authorized medical

personnel. On whose orders?

General McCaddy. General McCaddy is who requested our coming down here. We were

awakened at 3 a.m. and told to get down here immediately.

I don't know anything about that.

We'll call General McCaddy. I don't have the number.

Well, then call the switchboard. They'll patch you through.

Jesus, you don't know the switchboard number?

Don't call him after you. Listen, son, we don't have time to dick around while

you demonstrate your ignorance in the chain of command. The order came

directly from General McCaddy. You call him.

We'll conduct our business while you confirm authorization.

Why don't you head on down, and I'll confirm authorization.

Thank you.

Why is the morgue suddenly off limits on the orders of the general?

This is one of the firemen who died in Dallas?

According to the toe tag.

And you're looking for?

Cause of death.

I can tell you that without even looking at him.

Concussive organ failure due to proximal exposure to source and flying debris.

Mulder, this man's already been autopsied. You can tell by the way he's

been wrapped and dressed.

Does this fit the description you just read me?

Oh, my God. This man's a tissue.

It's like jelly.

There's been some kind of cellular breakdown.

It's completely animacious.

There's been no autopsy performed here. No Y incision.

No internal exam.

You're telling me the cause of death in that report is false?

But this man didn't die from an explosion or from flying debris?

Mulder, I can't tell you what killed this man.

I'm not sure anybody else could claim to either.

Mulder, you knew before we got here this man didn't die at the bomb site.

I've been told as much.

You're saying this is the cover-up?

Of what?

I don't know.

But have a hunch that what you're going to find won't be anything that can be

categorized or easily referenced.

Walter, this is going to take some time.

Somebody's going to figure out sooner or later that we're not even supposed to be

here. We are being blamed for this man's death. I'd like to know what he died of.

Wouldn't you?

I think that's it up there.

Excuse me.

Can I help you?

Is this Dr. Kurzweil's residence?

You have some kind of business with him? Yeah, I'm looking for him.

You're looking for him for what?

The feds are looking for him, too.

Real nice business he's got, huh?

What's that?

Selling naked pictures of little kids on his computer.

You looking for him for some other reason?

Yeah.

I had an appointment for a pelvic examination.

And you want to call if we turn up this curse while? Don't bother.

See this crap?

Somebody knows I'm talking to you. Not according to the men in blue.

Oh, what is it this time? Kitty porn again?

Sexual battery of a patient?

They want to discredit you. For what? Because I'm a dangerous man. Because I

know too much about the truth.

Now, that end-of-the-world apocalyptic garbage you write?

You know my work?

I was right about Dallas, wasn't I? How? How were you right?

Are you familiar with the antivirus, Agent Mulder?

Yeah, it was a deadly virus spread by field mice in the southwestern United

States several years ago. According to the newspaper, FEMA was called out to

manage an outbreak of the hantavirus.

Are you familiar with what the Federal Emergency Management Agency's real power

is?

FEMA allows the White House to suspend constitutional government upon

declaration of a national emergency.

Think about that.

What is an agency with such broad sweeping power doing managing a small

viral outbreak in suburban Texas?

You're saying it wasn't such a small outbreak? No.

I'm saying it wasn't the hand of virus.

Well, what was it?

What was it?

When we were young men in the military, your father and I were recruited for a

project. They told us it was biological warfare, a virus.

What killed those men?

What killed them, I won't even write about.

We have no context for what killed those men or any appreciation of the scale at

which it will be unleashed in the future.

A plague?

A plague to end all plagues, Agent Mulder.

A silent weapon for a quiet war.

The systematic release of an indiscriminate organism for which the

men who will bring it on still have no cure.

They've been working on this for 50 years.

While the rest of the world have been fighting gooks and commies, these men

have been secretly negotiating... Planned Armageddon.

Negotiating with whom?

I think you know.

The timetable has been set.

It'll happen on a holiday when people are away from their homes. The president

will declare a state of emergency at which time all government, all federal

agencies will come under the power of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

FEMA.

The secret government.

to Dallas, Agent Mulder, and dig?

Or are we going to find out along with the rest of the country when it's too

late?

What did you find?

Evidence of a massive infection.

What kind of infection?

I don't know.

All right, listen to me. I'm going home and then I'm booking myself on a flight

to Dallas. I'm going to get you a ticket, too.

Mulder. I need you there with me. I need your expertise.

Mulder, I've got a hearing tomorrow.

I can get you back in time for that hearing.

Well,

anything from those offices that you haven't sent off to D.C. yet?

This morning.

We thought we had another fatality.

But we found a female that recovered them from an archaeological site out of

town. Have you examined them?

No, just fossils, as far as we know.

I'd like you to let this person take a look at them, if you don't mind.

Just let me see if I can lay my hands on what you're looking for.

I thought you said you weren't coming.

Wasn't planning on it, particularly not after spending half an hour in cold

storage this morning.

But I got a better look at the blood and tissue samples I took from the firemen.

And what did you find?

Something I couldn't show to anybody else, not without causing the kind of

attention I'd just as soon avoid right now.

But what those men were infected with contains a protein coat that I've never

seen before.

What it did to them, it did extremely fast.

How was it contracted?

That I don't know. Unless it can respond to conventional treatment, it could be a

serious health threat.

Like I said, these are just fossils, but they weren't near the blast center, so

they're not going to tell you much.

Right. Why don't you check this out?

You said you knew the location where these were found? Show you right on the

map.

I want all of these settings checked and recalibrated. I want a steady minus two

degrees Celsius throughout the transfer of the body after I've administered the

vaccine.

It's gone!

What? It's left a body.

I think it's gestated.

What's the matter? Wait.

I can see it.

Jesus,

Lord.

You see it?

Yeah.

So much for Little Green Man.

I need you down here.

What are you doing?

Is it an emergency?

Yes.

A meeting has been set tonight in London to determine a course.

Who called this meeting?

Strughold.

He just got on a plane in Tunis.

Has Struckhold arrived?

Yes.

They're waiting in the library.

We began to worry.

Some of us have traveled so far, and you're the last to arrive.

I'm sorry. My grandson fell and broke his leg.

While we've been made to wait,

We watched surveillance tapes, which have raised more concerns.

More concerns than what?

We've been forced to reassess our role in colonization by new fakes of biology,

which have presented themselves.

The virus has mutated.

Into what?

A new extraterrestrial biological entity.

The geometry of mass infection presents certain conceptual re-evaluations for us

about our place in their colonization.

This isn't colonization.

This is spontaneous repopulation.

All our work, if it's true, they've been using us all along. We've been laboring

under a lie.

It could be an isolated case.

How can we know?

We are going to tell them what we found, what we have learned.

By turning over a body infected with a gestating organism.

In hope of what?

Learning that it's true?

That we are nothing but digestives for the creation of a new race of alien life

forms?

By cooperating now, we are but beggars to our own demise.

Cooperation is the only chance of saving ourselves.

They still need us to carry out their preparations.

We'll continue to use them as they do us, if only to play for more time, to

continue work.

vaccine.

My lateness might just as well have been absence.

A course has already been taken. There are complications.

Mulder saw one of the infected bodies that we destroyed in Dallas.

He's gone back there again. Someone has tipped him.

Who?

Kurzweil, we think.

No one believes Kurzweil or his books.

He's a toiler, a crank.

Mulder believes them.

Then Kurtzweil must be removed.

It must, Mulder.

Kill Mulder?

We take the risk of turning one man's quest into a crusade. Then you must take

away what he holds most valuable, that with which he can't live without.

I don't know, Mulder.

I don't see any evidence of an archaeological or any other kind of a

dig site.

This is where he marked on the map where he said those fossils were unearthed.

You're sure those fossils were infected with the same virus you saw at the

morgue?

Both sets of bones are porous, as if the virus or the causative microbe were

decomposing it. And you've never seen that virus before? No.

That look like new grass to you?

Looks pretty green for this climate.

Uh-huh.

Ground's dry about an inch down.

This was laid recently.

The equipment looks brand new, too.

No irrigation system.

Somebody's covering their tracks.

Hey.

Hey.

Yeah. You seen anybody digging over there?

We're not supposed to talk about it. You're not supposed to talk about it?

Who told you that?

Nobody.

Nobody?

Same nobody that built that playground?

Nobody buy you those new bikes, too?

I think you better tell us.

We don't even know you.

Well, we're FBI agents.

You're not FBI agents.

How do you know?

Because y'all look like door-to-door salesmen.

Hey, you want to buy a badge?

They all left an hour ago.

Going that way.

Unmarked tanker trucks.

What are archaeologists hauling out in tanker trucks?

I don't know, Mulder.

Where are they going with it?

That's the first question to answer if we're going to find them.

What are my choices?

About 100 miles and nothing in both directions.

Well, which way do you think they went?

Well, you got two choices. One of them's wrong.

I think they went left.

I don't know why. I think they went right.

Five years together, Scully. How many times have I been wrong?

Never.

Not driving, anyway.

I was right about the bomb, wasn't I? This is great.

This is fitting.

What?

I have to be in Washington, D.C. in 11 hours for a hearing. The outcome of

which might possibly affect one of the biggest decisions of my life.

And here I am in the middle of nowhere, Texas, chasing phantom tanker trucks.

We're not chasing tanker trucks, Kelly. We're chasing evidence.

Of what exactly?

That bomb in Dallas was allowed to go off to hide something. Bodies infected

with a virus you yourself detected.

Mulder, they haul oil in tanker trucks. They haul gas in tanker trucks. They do

not haul viruses in tanker trucks. Well, they may be hauling a virus in these

tanker trucks.

What do you mean, Mulder?

What are you not telling me?

Mulder?

The virus may be extraterrestrial.

Well, I don't...

What do you think they are I have no idea

This is weird, Mulder.

Very weird.

Any thought as to why anybody would be growing corn in the middle of the

desert? Well, this could be John Jiffy Pop Popper.

It's cool in here.

The temperature's being regulated.

For the purpose of what?

Mulder, I think we're on top of a larger structure here.

This is some kind of a venting system.

You hear something? You hear that?

I hear a humming.

Like electricity.

High voltage, maybe.

Maybe.

Maybe not.

Scully?

Yeah?

Run!

Did you get stung?

to be skilled.

I apologize for making you wait.

I have new evidence.

Evidence of what?

These are fossilized bone fragments that I've been able to study that were

gathered at the bomb site in Dallas.

You've been back to Dallas?

Yes.

You found something? Yeah.

On the Texas border, some kind of experiment.

Something they excavated was brought there in tanker trucks. What?

I'm not sure. A virus, I think.

And I also have reason to believe that there may have been some involvement by

Special Agent in Charge Michaud.

Those are very serious allegations, Agent Scully.

Yes, I know. You saw this experiment? Yeah, but we were chased off.

And you have conclusive evidence of this? Something to tie this claim of

yours to the crime?

Not completely conclusive. I hope to, but we are in the process of... We're

working towards gathering that evidence.

Working with?

With Agent Mulder.

What are they?

What do you think?

Transportation system.

Transgenic crops. The pollen genetically altered to carry a virus.

That would be my guess.

Guess?

What do you mean, your guess?

Hey, you told me you had answers.

Yeah. Well, I don't have them all.

You didn't know my father.

Like I told you, he and I were old friends. You've been using me. What do

you mean? You've been using me to gather information for your goddamn books.

Kurzweil! Kurzweil!

You'd be shit out of luck if it wasn't for me. You saw what you saw because I

led you to it.

I'm putting my ass on the line for you. Your ass? I just got chased through

Texas by two black helicopters. And why do you think it is you're standing here

talking to me?

These people don't make mistakes.

What's wrong?

Salt Lake City, Utah.

Transfer effective immediately.

I already gave Skinner my letter of resignation.

You can't quit now, Scully.

I can, Mulder.

I debated whether or not even to tell you in person. We are close to something

here. We're on the verge. You're on the verge, Mulder.

Please don't do this to me.

After what you saw last night, after all you've seen, you can just walk away?

I have.

I did. It's done.

I need you on this, Scully. You don't need me, Mulder.

You never have.

I've just held you back.

I gotta go.

You want to tell yourself that so you can quit with a clear conscience. You

can, but you're wrong.

Why did they assign me to you in the first place, Mulder?

To debunk your work.

to rein you in, to shut you down. But you saved me.

As difficult and as frustrating as it's been sometimes, your goddamn strict

rationalism and science has saved me a thousand times over.

You kept me honest.

You made me a whole person.

I owe you everything.

Scully, you owe me nothing.

I don't know if I want to do this alone.

I don't even know if I can.

And if I quit now, they win.

It stung me.

You must have gotten your shirt.

Mother?

Hmm?

Something's wrong.

What?

I'm having lacinating pain in... What? My chest.

It's going.

My motor functions have been affected.

I...

A funny taste in the back of my throat.

I think you're going into anaphylactic shock.

No, I have no allergy.

Special Agent Foxmuller, I have an emergency. I have an agent down.

Can you hear me?

Can you say your name?

We've got nutrition in the throat and larynx.

Passages are open. Okay, let's get her in the van right away. Look out, coming

through. Watch your back.

I bet you had a funny taste in the back of her throat, but there was no pre

-existing allergy to bee sting. Now, the bee that stung her might have been

carrying a virus.

Virus? Yeah, you tell that to the doctor. Get on the radio. Tell him we've

got a cytogenic reaction. Tell him it might be carrying a virus.

What hospital are you taking her to?

What are you doing? Reading this chart.

Put it down.

I'll put it down when I'm ready. I think he's coming at him. He's coming too.

Hey, Mulder.

Mulder?

Oh, God.

Cowardly lion, scarecrow, dodo.

What am I doing here?

A bullet grazed your brow and glanced off your temporal plate. Three

centimeters to the left and we all be playing harps right now. You've been

unconscious since they brought you in.

Where's Scully? We put together you called 911, but that call must have been

intercepted. Scully had a reaction to an Africanized honeybee we found in your

hall. I gotta get to her.

Mulder, easy, easy. You're staying right here. You don't understand. This goes

right back to Dallas. Tell me where she is, I'll find her. I don't know where

she is, but I can think of someone who might. You leave here unprotected, how

far will you get?

How far will they let you get? Because they'll know the minute you walk out of

here. What can we do?

You can strip buyers naked.

What? I need your clothes.

Mulder

Dr. Kurzweil, isn't it? Dr. Alvin Kurzweil.

Mr. Mulder.

What happened to Kurzweil?

He's come and gone.

I want to know where Scully is.

The location of Agent Scully and the means to save her life.

Please.

What is it?

A weak vaccine against the virus Agent Scully has been infected with. It must

be administered within 96 hours.

That leaves you little time to reach those coordinates.

You're lying. No.

Though I have no means to prove otherwise.

The virus is extraterrestrial.

We know very little about it except that it was the original inhabitant of this

planet.

A virus.

What is a virus but a colonizing force that cannot be defeated, living in a

cave underground until it mutates and attacks?

This is what you've been conspiring to conceal?

A disease?

No, for God's sake, you've got it all backwards.

AIDS, the Ebola virus, on an evolutionary scale, they are newborns.

This virus walked the planet long before the dinosaurs.

What do you mean, walked?

Your aliens, Agent Mulder, your little green men, arrived here millions of

years ago.

Those that didn't leave have been lying dormant underground since the last ice

age in the form of an evolved pathogen, waiting to be reconstituted by the alien

race when it comes to colonize the planet, using us as hosts.

Against this we have no defense, nothing but a weak...

Do you see why it was kept secret?

Why even the best men, men like your father, could not let the truth be

known?

Until Dallas, we believed the virus would simply control us, that mass

infection would make us a slave race.

Imagine our surprise when they began to gestate.

My group has been working cooperatively with the alien colonists, facilitating

programs like the one you saw to give us access to the virus.

In hope that we might be able secretly to develop a cure.

To save your own ass.

Survival is the ultimate ideology.

Your father wisely refused to believe this. But he sacrificed my sister. He

let them take Samantha.

Without a vaccination, the only true survivors of the viral holocaust will be

those immune to it. Human alien clones.

He allowed your sister to be abducted. To be taken to a cloning program.

For one reason.

So she would survive.

It was a genetic hybrid.

Your father chose hope over selfishness.

Hope, the only future he had, his children. His hope for you was that you

would uncover the truth about the project, that you would stop it, that

you would fight the future.

Why are you telling me this?

For the sake of my own children, once it's learned what I've told you, my life

will be over.

Where's Dr. Kurtzman?

I'd like to get out of the car now.

Stop the car!

Driver.

The men I work with will stop at nothing to clear the way for what they believe

is their stake in the inevitable future.

I was ordered to kill Dr. Kurzweil.

As I was ordered to kill you.

Ow!

Trust no one, Mr. Mulder.

Get out of the car.

Why? The poultry's already ruined. Get out of the car!

You have precious little time.

What I've given you, the alien colonists don't yet know exists.

The vaccine you hold is the only defense against the virus.

Its introduction into an alien environment may have the power to

destroy the delicate plans we have so assiduously protected for the last 50

years. What do you mean, may have?

Find Agent Scully.

Only then will you realize the scope and grandeur of the project.

Go. Go now.

Shit.

Secure the station.

I want everyone else down below.

If you're not armed, arm yourselves.

We may have a breach.

Scully?

There's a contaminant in the system.

Mulder has the vaccine.

Gully, can you breathe?

I'm

cold.

I'm cold.

Can I get you out of there?

Abandon your post!

Evacuate!

What happened?

It's all gone to hell.

But what about Mulder? He'll never make it.

We got to keep moving.

Come on.

Kelly,

reach

up and grab that bed.

Kelly, grab the vent!

Kelly?

Golly, you gotta see this.

Golly.

In light of the report I've got before me, in light of the narrative I'm now

hearing, my official report is incomplete, pending these new facts I'm

being asked to reconcile.

Agent Scully, though there's now direct evidence that a federal agent may have

been involved in the bombing, the other events you've laid down here are too

incredible on their own, and quite frankly, implausible in their

connections. What is it you find incredible?

Well, where would you like me to start?

So many of the events described in your report defy belief.

Antarctica is a long way from Dallas, Agent Scully. I can't very well submit a

report to the Attorney General that alleges the links you've made here.

Bees and corn crops do not quite fall under the rubric of domestic terrorism.

No, they don't.

Most of what I find in here is lacking a coherent picture of any organization

with an attributable motive.

I realize the ordeal you've endured has clearly affected you, though the holes

in your account leave this panel with little choice but to delete these

references to our final report to the Justice Department, until which time

hard evidence becomes available that would give us cause to pursue such an

investigation.

I don't believe the FBI currently has an investigative unit qualified to pursue

the evidence in hand.

There's an interesting work of fiction on page 24.

Mysteriously, our names have been omitted.

They're burying this thing, Scully.

They're just going to dig a new hole and cover it up.

I told OPR everything I know.

What I experienced.

The virus, how it's spread by the bees from pollen and transgenic crops.

Wasting your time, Scully. I'll never believe you. Not unless your story can

be programmed, categorized, or easily referenced. Well, then we'll go over

their heads. No.

No.

How many times have we been here before, Scully?

Right here.

So close to the truth.

And now with what we've seen and what we know to be right back at the beginning

with nothing.

This is different, Mulder. No, it isn't.

You were right to want to quit.

You're right to want to leave me. You should get as far away from me as you

can. I'm not going to watch you die, Scully, because of some hollow personal

cause of mine.

Go be a doctor.

Go be a doctor while you still can.

I can't.

I won't.

Mulder, I'll be a doctor, but my work is here with you now.

That virus that I was exposed to, whatever it is, it has a cure.

You held it in your hand.

How many other lives can we save?

If I quit now, they win.

You look hot and miserable.

Why have you traveled all this way?

We have business to discuss.

You have regular tennis.

This involves Mulder.

Ah, this name.

Again and again.

He's seen more than he should.

What has he seen?

Of the whole, he has seen but pieces.

He's determined now.

Reinvested.

He's but one man.

One man alone cannot fight the future.

Yesterday, I received this.

you

Tonight I'm tangled in my blanket of clouds.

Dreaming aloud.

Things just won't do without you. Matter of

fact.

If you'd accept surrender, give up for more.

Once you're adored, I cannot be with you.

you know

I cannot be without you, matter of fact.
