[ horn blaring ]
Fire Captain
What the hell is this?
Dr. Ben Bronschweig
It's Bronschweig. Sir, the impossible scenario that we never planned for?
Cigarette-Smoking Man
Well, we better come up with a plan.
Scene 05
Dallas · Federal Building Rooftop
FBI Agent
We've evacuated the building and been through it bottom to top. There's no trace of an explosive device or anything resembling one.
Darius Michaud
Have you sent the dogs through yet?
FBI Agent
Yes, sir.
Darius Michaud
Well, send them through again.
FBI Agent
All right, guys.
Darius Michaud
Let's do it again!
Scene 06
Dallas · Rooftop of the Opposing Building
Dana Scully
Mulder, it's me.
Fox Mulder
Where are you, Scully?
Dana Scully
I'm on the roof.
Fox Mulder
Did you find anything?
Dana Scully
No, I haven't.
Fox Mulder
What's wrong?
Dana Scully
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.
Fox Mulder
You're looking for a bomb.
Dana Scully
Yes, I know that. But the threat was called in to the Federal Building across the street.
Fox Mulder
I think they have that covered.
Dana Scully
Mulder, when a terrorist bomb threat ts called in... The rational purpose of providing that information is to allow us to find the bomb.
Fox Mulder
The rational object of terrorism is to promote terror.
Dana Scully
If you'd study the statistics, you'd find a model behavioral pattern... For virtually every case where a threat has turned up an explosive device. 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. Boom. Jesus, Mulder.
Fox 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 the 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.
Dana Scully
I know you're bored in this assignment, Mulder... But unconventional thinking is only gonna get you into trouble now.
Fox Mulder
What makes you think I'm bored?
Dana Scully
You got to quit looking for what isn't there. They've closed the X-Files. There's procedure to be followed now, protocol.
Fox Mulder
Maybe we should call in a bomb threat to Houston. I think it's free beer night at the Astrodome.
[ rattling ]
Dana Scully
Ah! Now what?
Fox Mulder
It's locked?
Dana Scully
So much for anticipating the unforeseen. I had you.
Fox Mulder
No, you didn't.
Dana Scully
Oh, yeah. I had you big-time. You had nothing. I saw you jiggle the handle.
Fox Mulder
Did you have a good time?
Scene 07
Dallas · Building Lobby
Dana Scully
I saw your face, Mulder. There was a definite moment of panic.
Fox Mulder
You've never seen me panic. When I panic, I make this face.
Dana Scully
That was the face.
Fox Mulder
You didn't see that face.
Dana Scully
I saw that face. You're buying.
Fox Mulder
What do you want, coke, pepsi, saline I.V.?
Dana Scully
Something sweet.
Scene 08

Fox Mulder
Come on.
[ beeping ]

Fox Mulder
I'm in the vending room.
Scene 09
Dallas · Hallway Outside the Vending Room
[ pounding ]
Dana Scully
Is that you pounding?
Fox Mulder
Yeah. You got to get somebody to open that door.
Dana Scully
Nice try, Mulder.
Fox Mulder
[ on phone ] look, Scully, it's in the soda machine. You got about 14 minutes to evacuate this building.
Dana Scully
Come on, Mulder.
Fox Mulder
Thirteen fifty-six. Thirteen fifty-four. Thirteen fifty-two. Thirteen fifty. You see a pattern emerging here, Scully?
Dana Scully
Hold on, Mulder. I'm gonna get you out of there. I need this building evacuated and cleared out in ten minutes!
Scene 10
Dallas · Building Lobby
Dana Scully
Call the fire department and have them block off the city center... At a one-mile radius around the building.
Security Guard
Ten minutes?
Dana Scully
Don't think! Just pick up that phone and make it happen. This is security. We have an emergency in progress. This is special agent Dana Scully. I need to speak with S.A.C. Michaud. He's got the wrong building.
[ sirens blaring ]
[ chattering ]
Scene 11
Dallas · Outside the Building
Darius Michaud
Where is he?
Dana Scully
He found it in the vending machine. He's locked in with it.
[ beeping ]
[ phone rings ]
Fox Mulder
Scully, you know that face I just showed you? I'm making it again.
Dana Scully
Mulder, move away from the door. We're coming through it.
Firefighter
Clear!
Scene 12
Dallas · Hallway Outside the Vending Room
Fox Mulder
Tell me that's just soda pop in those canisters.
Darius Michaud
It's just what it looks like-- a big I.e.d. Ten gallons of Astrolite. Okay. Get everybody out of here. Clear the area.
Dana Scully
Let's go.
Fox Mulder
Somebody's got to stay here with you.
Darius Michaud
Get the hell out of here and evacuate the building.
Dana Scully
Can you defuse it?
Darius Michaud
Yes, I can.
Fox Mulder
We got less than four minutes to find out if you're right.
Darius Michaud
Did you hear what I said? Get out.
Scene 13
Dallas · Plaza Outside the Building
Dana Scully
Come on, Mulder. Keep moving here, people! Come on. Let's go!
[ chattering ]
Dana Scully
Mulder, what are you doing?
Fox Mulder
Something's wrong.
Dana Scully
Mulder!
Fox Mulder
Something's not right.
Dana Scully
Mulder, get in the car. There's no time! Let's go! Get in the car!
Officer
Come on! Come on!
Fox Mulder
Get down!
[ car alarm honking ]
[ sirens blaring ]
Fox Mulder
Next time you're buying.
Scene 14
Washington, D.C. · FBI Office of Professional Review
Jana Cassidy
In light of Waco and Ruby Ridge... There is a heightened need at the attorney general's office... To place 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 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 trom Dallas, and a young boy. I'd like to--
Fox Mulder
Excuse me. Excuse me. The fireman and the young boy, they were found in the building?
Jana Cassidy
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.
Fox Mulder
We had been told the building was clear.
Jana Cassidy
You'll get your turn, agent Mulder. Please step outside.
Scene 15
Washington, D.C. · Hallway Outside the OPR Hearing
Walter Skinner
Sit down. They're still talking to agent Scully.
Fox Mulder
About what?
Walter Skinner
They're asking her for a narrative. They wanna know why she was in the wrong building.
Fox Mulder
She was with me.
Walter Skinner
You don't see what's going on here, do you? There's 45 million dollars' 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.
Fox Mulder
They wanna blame us?
Walter Skinner
Agent Mulder, you and I both know... That if it looks bad, it's bad for the f.b.1
Fox Mulder
Blame has to be assigned somewhere. If they want somebody to blame, they can blame me.
Walter Skinner
Scully doesn't deserve this. She's in there now saying the same thing about you.
Fox Mulder
I breached protocol. I broke contact with the S.A.C. I ignored a primary tactical rule and left him alone with the device.
Walter Skinner
Agent Scully says she ordered you out of the building... That you wanted to go back in.
Fox Mulder
No, no.
Dana Scully
They're asking for you, sir.
Walter Skinner
Thank you.
Fox Mulder
Whatever you told them in there, Scully, you don't have to protect me.
Dana Scully
All I told them was the truth.
Fox Mulder
They're trying to divide us on this, and we can't let them.
Dana Scully
Mulder, they have divided us. They're splitting us up.
Fox Mulder
What? What are you talking about?
Dana Scully
I have a meeting with o.p.r. Day after tomorrow for remediation and reassignment.
Fox Mulder
They're the ones who put us together.
Dana Scully
Because they wanted me to invalidate your investigations into the paranormal, but... I think this goes deeper than that now.
Fox Mulder
This is not about you, Scully. They're doing this to me. They're not doing this.
[ sighs ]
Dana Scully
Mulder, I left behind a career in medicine... Because I thought that I could make a difference at the F.B.I.
Fox Mulder
But it hasn't turned out that way.
Dana Scully
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.
Fox Mulder
You're quitting.
Dana Scully
Maybe you should ask yourself if your heart's still in it too.
[ door opens ]
Walter Skinner
Agent Mulder, you're up.
Dana Scully
I'm sorry.
Walter Skinner
Mulder.
Dana Scully
Good luck.
Scene 16
Washington, D.C. · Casey's Bar
Barmaid
I'd say this about exceeds your minimum daily requirement. Whoa. You got to train for that kind of heavy lifting. Poopy day? So... What do you do?
Fox Mulder
- what do I do? -mm-hmm. I'm the key figure in an ongoing government charade-- a plot to conceal the truth about the existence of extraterrestrials. It's a global conspiracy, actually... With key players in 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 a-- I'm an annoyance to my superiors, a joke to my peers. They call me "spooky." spooky Mulder's sister was abducted by aliens when he was just a kid... And now he chases after little green men with a badge and a gun... Shouting to the heavens or to anyone who'll listen... That the fix is in, that the sky is falling. And when it hits, it's gonna be the shit storm of all time.
Barmaid
Well, I would say that about does it, spooky.
Fox Mulder
Does what?
Barmaid
Well, looks like 86 is your lucky number.
[ bills rustling ]
Barmaid
You know, one ts the loneliest number.
Scene 17
Washington, D.C. · Alley Behind Casey's
Fox Mulder
Hello?
Dr. Alvin Kurtzweil
Hello!
Fox Mulder
Sorry.
Dr. Alvin Kurtzweil
Is that official F.B.I. Business?
Fox Mulder
What?
Dr. Alvin Kurtzweil
Bet the bureau's accusing you of the same thing in Dallas. Standing around holding your yank while bombs are exploding.
Fox Mulder
Do I know you?
Dr. Alvin Kurtzweil
No, but I've been watching your career for a good while... Back when you were just a promising young agent-- before that.
Fox Mulder
You come out here for a reason?
Dr. Alvin Kurtzweil
Yeah. I did.
[ unzipping ]
Dr. Alvin Kurtzweil
My name is Kurtzweil, Dr. Alvin Kurtzweil.
Fox Mulder
I'm supposed to know that name?
Dr. Alvin Kurtzweil
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.
Fox Mulder
Right.
[ door opens ]
[ zipping ]
Man
I'll go ahead and get a number four.
Scene 18
Washington, D.C. · Casey's Bar
Fox Mulder
How'd you find me?
Dr. Alvin Kurtzweil
I heard you come in here now and again. Figured you'd be needing a little drinkie tonight.
Fox Mulder
You a reporter?
Dr. Alvin Kurtzweil
I'm a doctor, but I think I mentioned that. OB-GYN.
Fox Mulder
You got something to tell me, you got as much time as it takes me to hail a cab.
Dr. Alvin Kurtzweil
There's something you don't know about the bombing in Dallas.
Scene 19
Washington, D.C. · Street Outside Casey's
Fox Mulder
What's that?
Dr. Alvin Kurtzweil
S.A.C. Darius Michaud never tried or intended... To defuse that bomb.
Fox Mulder
He just let it explode in his face, huh?
Dr. Alvin Kurtzweil
What's the question no one's asking? Why that building? Why not the Federal Building?
Fox Mulder
The Federal Building was too well guarded.
Dr. Alvin Kurtzweil
No. They put the bomb in the building across the street... Because it ad have federal offices there. The federal emergency management agency had a provisional medical quarantine office there...
Fox Mulder
Which is where the bodies were found.
Dr. Alvin Kurtzweil
But that's the thing, the thing you didn't know, the thing you never think to check. Those people were already dead.
Fox Mulder
Before the bomb went off?
Dr. Alvin Kurtzweil
That's what I'm saying.
Fox Mulder
Darius Michaud was a 22-year veteran of the bureau.
Dr. Alvin Kurtzweil
Michaud was a patriot. The people he was loyal to know their way around Dallas.
Fox Mulder
They blew that building to hide something...
Dr. Alvin Kurtzweil
Maybe even something they couldn't predict.
Fox Mulder
They blew up that entire building just to hide the bodies of those firemen?
Dr. Alvin Kurtzweil
And one little boy.
Fox Mulder
I think you're full of shit.
Dr. Alvin Kurtzweil
[ chuckles ] do you?
Fox Mulder
Arlington, please. Actually, you know, uh, let's go to Georgetown. Let's go to Georgetown.
[ thunder rumbling ]
Scene 20
Georgetown · Scully's Apartment
Fox Mulder
Oh, I woke you. Did I wake you?
Dana Scully
No.
Fox Mulder
Why not? It's 3:00 in the morning.
Dana Scully
Are you drunk, Mulder?
Fox Mulder
I-I was until about 20 minutes ago, yeah.
Dana Scully
Was that before or after you decided to come here?
Fox Mulder
What exactly are you implying?
Dana Scully
Go home, Mulder.
Fox Mulder
Get dressed.
Dana Scully
It's late.
Fox Mulder
Get dressed.
Dana Scully
What are you doing?
Fox Mulder
Just get dressed, and I'll explain on the way.
Scene 21
Blackwood, Texas · Tent Over the Cave
Technician
Nitrogen? 2.77. Methane?
[ speaking continues, indistinct ]
Cigarette-Smoking Man
You've got something to show me.
Dr. Ben Bronschweig
We brought the atmosphere back down to freezing in order to control the development... Which was like nothing we've ever seen.
Cigarette-Smoking Man
Brought on by what?
Dr. Ben Bronschweig
Heat, I think. The coincident invasion of a host-- the fireman-- in an environment that raised his body temperature... Above 98.6.
Cigarette-Smoking Man
This man's still alive.
Dr. Ben Bronschweig
Technically... And biologically. But he'll never recover.
Cigarette-Smoking Man
How can this be?
Dr. Ben Bronschweig
The developing organism is using his iife energy... Digesting bone and tissue. We've just slowed the process. Do you want us to destroy this one too before it gestates?
Cigarette-Smoking Man
Uh, no. No. We need to try our vaccine on it.
Dr. Ben Bronschweig
And if it's unsuccessful?
Cigarette-Smoking Man
Burn it... Like the others.
Scene 22
Bethesda Naval Hospital · Entrance
Naval Guard
ID and floor you're visiting, please.
Fox Mulder
We're going down to the morgue.
Naval Guard
That area is currently off-limits to anyone other than authorized medical personnel.
Fox Mulder
On whose orders?
Naval Guard
General McAddie.
Fox Mulder
General McAddie is who requested our coming down here. We were awakened and told to get down here.
Naval Guard
I don't know anything about that.
Fox Mulder
Well, call general McAddie.
Naval Guard
I don't have the number.
Fox Mulder
Then call the switchboard. They'll patch you through. Jesus. You don't know the switchboard number? I'm calling my co.
Naval Guard
We don't have time to dick around...
Fox Mulder
While you demonstrate your ignorance in the chain of command. The order came directly from general McAddie. You call him.
Naval Guard
We'll conduct our business while you confirm authorization. Why don't you head on down, and I'll confirm authorization.
Fox Mulder
Thank you. Why is the morgue suddenly off-limits on the orders of the general?
Scene 23
Bethesda Naval Hospital · Morgue Freezer
Dana Scully
This is one of the firemen who died in Dallas?
Fox Mulder
According to the toe tag.
Dana Scully
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.
Fox Mulder
Does this fit the description you just read me?
Dana Scully
Oh, my god. This man's tissue, Mulder.
Fox Mulder
It's like jelly.
Dana Scully
There's been some kind of cellular breakdown. God, it's completely edematous. There's been no autopsy performed here-- no "y" incision, no internal exam.
Fox Mulder
You're telling me the cause of death in that report is false? That this man didn't die from an explosion or from flying debris?
Dana Scully
Mulder, I can't tell you what killed this man. I'm not sure anybody else could claim to either.
Scene 24
Bethesda Naval Hospital · Pathology Lab
Dana Scully
Mulder, you knew before we got here this man didn't die at the bomb site.
Fox Mulder
I've been told as much.
Dana Scully
You're saying this is a cover-up? Of what?
Fox Mulder
I don't know, but I have a hunch that what you're gonna find... Won't be anything that can be categorized or easily referenced.
Dana Scully
Mulder, this is gonna take some time. Somebody's gonna figure out sooner or later that we're not supposed to be here.
Fox Mulder
We are being blamed for this man's death. I'd like to know what he died of. Wouldn't you?
Scene 25
Washington, D.C. · Taxi
Fox Mulder

Scene 26
Washington, D.C. · Kurtzweil's Apartment
Fox Mulder
This is Dr. Kurtzweil's residence?
Detective
You have some kind of business with him?
Fox Mulder
Yeah, I'm looking for him.
Detective
You're looking for him for what? The feds are looking for him too. Real nice business he's got, huh?
Fox Mulder
What's that?
Detective
Selling naked pictures of little kids on his computer. You looking for him for some other reason?
Fox Mulder
Yeah. I had an appointment for a pelvic examination.
Detective
Hey, you want a call if we turn up this Kurtzweil?
Fox Mulder
No. Don't bother.
Scene 27
Washington, D.C. · Alley Beside Kurtzweil's Building
Dr. Alvin Kurtzweil
See this crap? Somebody knows I'm talking to you.
Fox Mulder
Not according to the men in blue.
Dr. Alvin Kurtzweil
What is it this time? Kiddie porn again? Sexual battery of a patient?
Fox Mulder
They wanna discredit you, for what?
Dr. Alvin Kurtzweil
Because I'm a dangerous man. I know too much about the truth.
Fox Mulder
That end-of-the-world, apocalyptic garbage you write?
Dr. Alvin Kurtzweil
You know my work? I was right about Dallas, wasn't I?
Fox Mulder
How? How were you right?
Dr. Alvin Kurtzweil
Are you familiar with the hantavirus, agent Mulder?
Fox Mulder
Yeah. It was a deadly virus spread by field mice... In the southwestern united states several years ago.
Dr. Alvin Kurtzweil
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?
Fox Mulder
FEMA allows the white house to suspend constitutional government... Upon declaration of a national emergency.
Dr. Alvin Kurtzweil
Think about that. What is an agency with such broad sweeping power... Doing managing a small viral outbreak in suburban Texas?
Fox Mulder
You're saying it wasn't such a small outbreak.
Dr. Alvin Kurtzweil
No. I'm saying it wasn't the hantavirus.
Fox Mulder
Well, what was it?
[ siren chirps ]
Fox Mulder
What was it?
Dr. Alvin Kurtzweil
When we were young men in the military... Your father and I were approved for a project. They told us it was biological warfare, a virus.
Fox Mulder
What killed those men?
Dr. Alvin Kurtzweil
What killed them, I won't even write about. We have no context for what killed those men... Or any appreciation of the scale in which it'll be unleashed in the future.
Fox Mulder
A plague?
Dr. Alvin Kurtzweil
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 a planned armageddon.
Fox Mulder
Negotiating with whom?
Dr. Alvin Kurtzweil
I think you know. The timetable has been set. It'll happen on a holiday, when people are away trom 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.
Fox Mulder
They call me paranoid.
Dr. Alvin Kurtzweil
Go back to Dallas, agent Mulder, and dig... Or we're gonna find out along with the rest of the country...
Fox Mulder
When it's too late.

Fox Mulder
Hey, Scully, it's me. I whispering ] yeah? Why are you whispering?
Dana Scully
Mulder, I can't really talk right now.
Fox Mulder
What did you find?
Dana Scully
Evidence of a massive infection.
Fox Mulder
What kind of infection?
Dana Scully
I don't know.
Fox Mulder
All right. Listen to me. I'm going home, and then I'm booking myself on a flight to Dallas. I'm gonna get you a ticket too.
Dana Scully
Mulder.
Fox Mulder
I need you there with me. I need your expertise.
Dana Scully
Mulder, I've got a hearing tomorrow.
Fox Mulder
I can get you back in time, maybe with evidence that'll blow it away.
Dana Scully
Mulder, I can't. I'm way past the point of common sense here. This is not common sense.
[ footsteps approaching ]
Fox Mulder
It-- can you-- are you there? Scul--
[ beep ]
Fox Mulder
Scully?
Scene 29
Dallas · FBI Field Office
Field Agent
Afraid what you're looking for amounts to a needle in a haystack. This explosion was so devastating... There hasn't been much to put together just yet.
Fox Mulder
I'm looking for anything out of the ordinary really... Maybe something from the FEMA offices where those bodies were found.
Field Agent
We weren't expecting to find those remains, of course... And we sent them off to Washington.
Fox Mulder
Anything from those offices that you haven't sent off to D.C. Yet?
Field Agent
Some bone fragments turned up in the sift this morning. We thought we had another fatality... But FEMA recovered them from an archaeological site out of town.
Fox Mulder
Have you examined them?
Field Agent
No. Just fossils as far as we know.
Fox Mulder
I'd like you to let this person take a look at them if you don't mind.
Field Agent
Just let me see if I can lay my hands on what you're looking for.
Fox Mulder
Thought you said you weren't coming.
Dana Scully
Wasn't planning on tt... 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 fireman.
Fox Mulder
And what did you find?
Dana Scully
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.
Field Agent
Like I said, these are just fossils... But they weren't near the blast center, so they're not gonna tell you much.
Fox Mulder
Right. Why don't you, uh-- why don't you check this out? You said you knew the location where these were found?
Field Agent
Show you right on the map.

Technician
You see it?
Dr. Ben Bronschweig
Yegh. So much for little green men. I need you down here.

While we've been made to wait... We've watched surveillance tapes which have raised more concerns.
Well-Manicured Man
More concerns than what?
Conrad Strughold
We have been forced to reassess our role in colonization by new facts of biology... Which have presented themselves.
Elder
The virus has mutated.
Well-Manicured Man
Into what?
Conrad Strughold
A new extraterrestrial biological entity.
Well-Manicured Man
My god.
Conrad Strughold
The geometry of mass infection presents certain conceptual reevaluations for us... About our place in their colonization. This isn't colonization.
Well-Manicured Man
This is spontaneous repopulation.
Conrad Strughold
All our work--
Well-Manicured Man
If it's true, they've been using us all along.
Conrad Strughold
We've been laboring under a lie. It could be an isolated case.
Well-Manicured Man
How can we know?
Conrad Strughold
We are going to tell them what we've found, what we've learned... By turning over a body infected with the gestating organism.
Elder
In hope of what? Learning that it's true?
Well-Manicured Man
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.
Conrad Strughold
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... On our vaccine.
Well-Manicured Man
My lateness might just as well have been absence. A course has already been taken.
Cigarette-Smoking Man
There are complications.
Conrad Strughold
Mulder saw one of the infected bodies that we destroyed in Dallas.
Cigarette-Smoking Man
He's gone back there again. Someone has tipped him.
Well-Manicured Man
Who?
Cigarette-Smoking Man
Kurtzweil, we think.
Well-Manicured Man
No one believes Kurtzweil or his books. He's a toiler, a crank.
Cigarette-Smoking Man
Mulder believes him.
Well-Manicured Man
Then Kurtzweil must be removed.
Cigarette-Smoking Man
As must Mulder.
Well-Manicured Man
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.
Scene 35
Central Texas · Small Public Park
Dana Scully
I don't know, Mulder. I don't see any evidence of an archaeological or any other kind of a dig site.
Fox Mulder
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?
Dana Scully
Both sets of bones were porous, as if the virus or the causative microbe were decomposing it.
Fox Mulder
And you've never seen that virus before?
Dana Scully
No.
Fox Mulder
Look-- look at that. That look like new grass to you?
Dana Scully
Looks pretty green for this climate.
Fox Mulder
Uh-huh. Ground's dry about an inch down. This was laid recently.
Dana Scully
The equipment looks brand-new too.
Fox Mulder
No irrigation system. Somebody's covering their tracks. Hey! Hey.
Dana Scully
[ Scully ] you boys live around here?
Boy
Yeah.
Fox Mulder
You seen anybody digging over there?
Boy
We're not supposed to talk about it.
Dana Scully
You're not supposed to talk about it? Who told you that?
Boy
Nobody.
Fox Mulder
Nobody? The same nobody that built that playground? Did nobody buy you those new bikes too?
Dana Scully
I think you better tell us.
Boy
We don't even know you.
Fox Mulder
Well, we're F.B.I. Agents.
Boy
You're not F.B.I. Agents.
Dana Scully
How do you know?
Boy
'cause y'all look like door-to-door salesmen.
Fox Mulder
Hey, you wanna buy a badge?
Boy
They all left an hour ago. Going that way.
Fox Mulder
Unmarked tanker trucks.
Scene 36
Texas · Rental Car
Fox Mulder
Why are archaeologists hauling out tanker trucks?
Dana Scully
I don't know, Mulder.
Fox Mulder
And where are they going with it?
Dana Scully
That's the first question to answer if we're going to find them.
Scene 37
Texas · Central Highway
Fox Mulder
What are my choices?
Dana Scully
About a hundred Miles of nothing in both directions. Well, which way do you think they went? Well, you got two choices. One of them's wrong.
Fox Mulder
I think they went left.
Dana Scully
I don't know why I think they went right. I think they went left. I don't know why I think they went right.
Fox Mulder
Five years together, Scully, how many times have I been wrong?
Dana Scully
Never. Not driving anyway.
Scene 38
Texas · Highway · Night
Fox Mulder
I was right about the bomb, wasn't I?
Dana Scully
This is great. This is fitting.
Fox Mulder
What?
Dana Scully
I have to be in Washington, D.C. In 11 hours for a hearing... The outcome of which might affect one of the biggest decisions of my life... And here lam in the middle of nowhere, Texas...
Fox Mulder
Chasing phantom tanker trucks. We're not chasing tanker trucks, Scully. We're chasing evidence.
Dana Scully
Of what exactly?
Fox Mulder
That bomb was allowed to go off to hide something-- bodies infected with a virus you yourself detected.
Dana Scully
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?
[ clears throat ]
Dana Scully
Mulder.
Fox Mulder
The virus may be extraterrestrial.
Dana Scully
I don't-- Mulder, I don't--

Dana Scully
It's cool in here. The temperature's being regulated.
Fox Mulder
For the purpose of what?
Dana Scully
Mulder, I think we're on top of a larger structure here. This is some kind of a venting system.
[ humming ]
Fox Mulder
You hear something? You hear that?
[ humming continues ]
Dana Scully
- I hear a humming. -mm-hmm. [ Scully] like electricity.
[ humming continues, louder ]
Dana Scully
High voltage, maybe.

Maybe. Maybe not.

I don't think so.

Yes, I apologize for making you wait. I have new evidence.
Jana Cassidy
Evidence of what?
Dana Scully
These are fossilized bone fragments... That I've been able to study... That were gathered at the bomb site in Dallas.
Jana Cassidy
You've been back to Dallas?
Dana Scully
Yes.
[ patrons laughing, chattering ]
Scene 45
Washington, D.C. · Casey's Bar / OPR Hearing
Dr. Alvin Kurtzweil
You found something.
Fox Mulder
Yeah, on the Texas border. Some kind of experiment. Something they excavated was brought there in tanker trucks.
Dr. Alvin Kurtzweil
What?
Fox Mulder
I'm not sure. A virus, I think.
Dana Scully
And I also have reason to believe that... There may have been some involvement... By special agent in charge Michaud.
Jana Cassidy
Those are very serious allegations, agent Scully.
Dana Scully
Yes, I know.
Dr. Alvin Kurtzweil
You saw this experiment?
Fox Mulder
Yeah, but we were chased off.
Dr. Alvin Kurtzweil
What did it look like?
Fox Mulder
There were bees, corn crops.
Jana Cassidy
And you have conclusive evidence of this... Something to tie this claim of yours to the crime?
Dana Scully
Not completely conclusive. I hope to, but we are in the process of-- we're working towards gathering that evidence.
Jana Cassidy
Working with?
Dana Scully
With agent Mulder.
Fox Mulder
What are they?
Dr. Alvin Kurtzweil
What do you think?
Fox Mulder
A transportation system. Transgenic crops, the pollen genetically altered to carry a virus.
Dr. Alvin Kurtzweil
That would be my guess.
Scene 46
Washington, D.C. · Rear of Casey's
Fox Mulder
Your guess? What do you mean, your guess? Hey! You told me you had answers.
Dr. Alvin Kurtzweil
Yeah. Well, I don't have 'em all.
Fox Mulder
You didn't know my father.
Dr. Alvin Kurtzweil
He and I were old friends.
Fox Mulder
You've been using me.
Dr. Alvin Kurtzweil
What do you mean--
Fox Mulder
You've been using me to gather information for your goddamn books! Kurtzweil! Kurtzweil!
Scene 47

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?
Fox Mulder

Dr. Alvin Kurtzweil
And why do you think it is you're standing here talking to me? These people don't make mistakes.

Fox Mulder
What's wrong?
Dana Scully
Salt Lake City, Utah. Transfer effective immediately. I already gave Skinner my letter of resignation.
Fox Mulder
You can't quit now, Scully.
Dana Scully
I can, Mulder. I debated whether or not even to tell you in person because--
Fox Mulder
We are close to something here. We're on the verge.
Dana Scully
You're on the verge, Mulder. Please don't do this to me.
Fox Mulder
After what you saw last night, after all you've seen you can just walk away?
Dana Scully
I have. I did. It's done.
Fox Mulder
I need you on this, Scully.
Dana Scully
You don't need me, Mulder. You never have. I've just held you back. I gotta go.
Fox Mulder
You wanna tell yourself that so you can quit with a clear conscience, you can...
Scene 49
Washington, D.C. · Hallway Outside Mulder's Apartment
Fox Mulder
But you're wrong.
Dana Scully
Why did they assign me to you in the first place, Mulder? To debunk your work. To rein you in, to shut you down.
Fox Mulder
But you saved me. As difficult and as frustrating as it's been sometimes... Your goddamn strict rationalism and science have saved me a thousand times over. You kept me honest. You made me a whole person. I owe you everything... Scully, and you owe me nothing. I don't know if I wanna do this alone. I don't even know if I can. And if I quit now, they win.
Dana Scully
Ow! Jesus.
Fox Mulder
Sorry.
Dana Scully
No, something stung me.
Fox Mulder
It must have gotten in your shirt.
Dana Scully
Mulder.
Fox Mulder
Hmm?
Dana Scully
Something's wrong.
Fox Mulder
What?
Dana Scully
I'm having lancinating pain in my...
Fox Mulder
What?
Dana Scully
Chest-- [ gasps ]
Fox Mulder
Scully. Scully.
Dana Scully
My motor functions are being affected. My- [ panting ] my pulse is thready. And I have a-- a funny taste in the back of my throat.

Scene 51
Washington, D.C. · Outside Mulder's Apartment
Fox Mulder
She said she had a funny taste in the back of her throat... But there was no preexisting allergy to bee sting. The bee that stung her might have been carrying a virus. Virus? Get on the radio. Tell them we got an allergenic reaction. Where are you going with her? What hospital? I- what hospital are you taking her to?

Melvin Frohike
Hey, Mulder. Mulder?
[ monitor beeps ]
Fox Mulder
Oh, god. Cowardly lion, scarecrow, toto. What am I doing here?
John Fitzgerald Byers
The bullet grazed your brow and glanced off your temporal plate.
Richard Langly
Three centimeters to the left and we'd all be playing harps right now.
John Fitzgerald Byers
You've been unconscious since they brought you in.
Fox Mulder
Where's Scully?
John Fitzgerald Byers
We put together you called 9-1-1. But that call must have been intercepted.
Walter Skinner
Scully had a reaction to an Africanized honey bee we found in your hall.
Fox Mulder
I gotta get to her.
Walter Skinner
Mulder, easy, easy! You're staying right here.
Fox Mulder
You don't understand. This goes back to Dallas. Tell me where she is. I'll find her. I don't know where, but I can think of someone who might.
Walter Skinner
You leave here unprotected, how far will you get?
Melvin Frohike
How far will they let you get? Because they'll know the minute you walk out of here.
Fox Mulder
What can we do?
Melvin Frohike
You can strip Byers naked.

Fox Mulder
Please.
Scene 55
Washington, D.C. · Limousine
Fox Mulder
What is it?
Well-Manicured Man
A weak vaccine against the virus agent Scully has been infected with. Lt must be administered within 96 hours. That leaves you little time to reach those coordinates.
Fox Mulder
You're lying.
Well-Manicured Man
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.
Fox Mulder
A virus.
Well-Manicured Man
What is a virus but a colonizing force... That cannot be defeated... Living in a cave underground until it mutates and attacks?
Fox Mulder
This is what you've been conspiring to conceal?
Well-Manicured Man
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.
Fox Mulder
What do you mean "walked"?
Well-Manicured Man
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 ofan 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 vaccine. 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 alten 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 asses. Survival is the ultimate ideology. Your father wisely refused to believe this.
Fox Mulder
But he sacrificed my sister. He let them take Samantha.
Well-Manicured Man
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... As a genetic hybrid. Your father chose hope over selfishness. Hope in 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.
Fox Mulder
Why are you telling me this?
Well-Manicured Man
For the sake of my own children. Once it's learned what I've told you, my life will be over. Where's Dr. Kurtzweil?
Fox Mulder
I'd like to get out of the car now. Stop the car!
Well-Manicured Man
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. Kurtzweil... As I was ordered to kill you.
[ groans ]
Well-Manicured Man
Trust no one, mr. Mulder.
Fox Mulder
Get out of the car.
Well-Manicured Man
Why? The upholstery's already ruined.

Get out of the car!
Well-Manicured Man
You have precious little time.

Jana Cassidy
In light of the report I've got before me, and 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 connection.
Dana Scully
What is it you find incredible?
Jana Cassidy
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.
Dana Scully
No, they don't.
Jana Cassidy
Most of what I find in here... Is, uh, 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 f.b.1. Currently has an investigative unit... Qualified to pursue the evidence in hand. There's an interesting work of fiction on page 24.
Scene 64

Mysteriously, our names have been omitted. They're burying this thing, Scully. They're just gonna dig a new hole and cover it up.
Dana Scully
I told o.p.r. Everything I know-- what I experienced... The virus-- how it's spread by the bees from pollen and transgenic crops.
Fox Mulder
You're wasting your time. They'll never believe you. Not unless your story can be programmed, categorized or easily referenced.
Dana Scully
Then we'll go over their heads.
Fox Mulder
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, what we know, to be right back at the beginning with nothing.
Dana Scully
This is different, Mulder.
Fox 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 gonna watch you die, Scully, because of some hollow personal cause of mine. Go be a doctor. Go be a doctor while you still can.
Dana Scully
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? Look... If I quit now... They win.
