Prologue · Mulder's Files

Fox Mulder

My name is Fox Mulder. Since my childhood, I have been obsessed by a controversial global phenomenon. Since my sister disappeared when I was 12 years old, in what I believe was an alien abduction. My obsession took me to the FBI, where I investigated paranormal science cases through the auspices of a unit known as the X-Files. Through this unit, I could continue my work on the alien phenomenon, and the search for my missing sister. In 1993, the FBI sought to impugn my work, bringing in a scientist and medical doctor to debunk it, which only deepened my obsession for the better part of a decade, during which time that agent, Dana Scully, had her own faith tested. In 2002, in a change of direction and policy, the FBI closed the X-Files, and our investigation ceased. But my personal obsession did not.

(HELICOPTER BLADES WHIRRING)

Fox Mulder

There are 10,000 sightings each year in North America alone, and so it’s been since the dawn of time, Stone Age and even biblical references into our modern age. In 1947, Kenneth Arnold saw nine unidentified craft out the window of his small plane, followed by the historic crash at Roswell and its legendary cover-up. In 1957, UFOs were spotted over our nation's capital. The Pentagon held press briefings. Multiple witnesses in 1967 at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana see fighters scramble but easily outrun by UFOs that climb upwards of 200,000 feet, twice the service ceiling of our highest-flying spy planes. Dr. Edgar Mitchell, the sixth man to walk on the Moon, cites secret studies on extraterrestrial materials and bodies. Secretary of State, Cyrus Vance, and future president, Gerald R. Ford, validate the UFO phenomenon in official government memoranda.

(SONIC BOOM)

Fox Mulder

But now people only laugh, and only Roswell is remembered. But we must ask ourselves, are they really a hoax? Are we truly alone? Or are we being lied to?

(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)

Scene 02

New Mexico, 1947 · The Bus

Young Doctor

Can I ask how much longer?

Man in Suit

Two shakes of a lamb's tail, Doc. Step quick.

Scene 03

Our Lady of Sorrows Hospital · Scrub Room

O.R. Nurse

Excuse me. Dr. Scully?

Dana Scully

Yes.

O.R. Nurse

You have a phone call.

Dana Scully

I'm just heading into surgery.

O.R. Nurse

That's what I told him, but... But he said it was important.

Dana Scully

Who is it?

O.R. Nurse

He says his name is Walter Skinner, Assistant Director, FBI.

Scene 04

Mulder's House · Late Night TV

Jimmy Kimmel

If I was the president, the moment I was inaugurated, (AUDIENCE APPLAUDING) my hand would still be hot from touching the Bible, and I would immediately race to, wherever they hold... Have the files about Area 51 and UFOs, and I'd go through everything to find out what happened.

President Obama

The aliens won't let it happen. (LAUGHTER)

Fox Mulder

My life's become a punch line. What's happening out there, Scully?

Scene 05

Mulder's House · The Phone Call

Dana Scully

A.D. Skinner's looking for you.

Fox Mulder

Why doesn't he just call me?

Dana Scully

He doesn't know how to reach you, Mulder. I barely know how myself.

Fox Mulder

What does he want, Scully?

Dana Scully

He wants to know if you've been watching someone called Tad O'Malley on the Net. Apparently, he’s reached out to us from the FBI.

Fox Mulder

Hold on. I'm bringing him up.

Tad O'Malley

It comes down to this. It's a mainstream liberal media lying to you about life, liberty and your God-given right to bear firearms.

Fox Mulder

Why would I watch this jackass, Scully?

Tad O'Malley

9/11 was a false flag operation. It was a warm-up to World War III. Now, hear me on this. It’s all part of a conspiracy dating back to the UFO crash at Roswell...

Dana Scully

I thought you were done with UFOs. The stranglehold they put on your very existence, I believe is how you put it. I'm just the messenger, Mulder. Apparently, this guy is desperate to meet.

Fox Mulder

Tell Skinner to set it up.

Dana Scully

Seriously?

Fox Mulder

And don't pretend I'm going alone.

Dana Scully

Uber?

Fox Mulder

Hitchhiked. Relax, Scully. I'm kidding.

Scene 06

Washington, D.C. · The Meeting

Dana Scully

I just worry about you, Mulder.

Fox Mulder

Not to worry, Doc. I'm taking good care of myself.

Dana Scully

It's good for you to get out of that little house every once in a while.

Fox Mulder

It certainly was good for you.

Dana Scully

I'm always happy to see you.

Fox Mulder

And I'm always happy to find a reason.

Tad O'Malley

Fox Mulder?

Fox Mulder

Yes.

Tad O'Malley

Tad O'Malley. And you must be former agent Dana Scully.

Dana Scully

Yes. That's quite an entrance you make there.

Fox Mulder

She's shot men with less provocation.

Tad O'Malley

Funny. I heard you were funny. Join me for a little ride?

Fox Mulder

I'd be happy to talk to you, Mr. O'Malley, but right here is fine. Allow me my small precautions.

Tad O'Malley

Low-flying aircraft often employ what they call "dirtboxes" to record conversations that I prefer private.

Dana Scully

Aircraft employed by whom?

Tad O'Malley

I'm afraid I can only speculate. Shall we?

Dana Scully

Because...

Fox Mulder

Why not?

Scene 07

O'Malley's Limousine

Fox Mulder

None for me, thanks.

Tad O'Malley

Scully?

Dana Scully

I take it you have enemies.

Tad O'Malley

Well, not always of my choosing, Dana.

(MULDER CLICKING WINDOW BUTTON)

Fox Mulder

Air's getting a little hot in here.

Tad O'Malley

Oh, I'm sorry, those don't roll down. I had the vehicle bulletproofed.

Fox Mulder

‘Cause you never know when a gun-toting liberal might go Hinckley.

Dana Scully

You'll have to excuse him. How can we help you, Mr. O'Malley?

Tad O'Malley

I'm not some Johnny-come-lately to the UFO phenomenon, Mr. Mulder. Like yourself, I'm a true believer.

Fox Mulder

No, I only want to believe. Actual proof has been strangely hard to come by.

Tad O'Malley

You ran the X-Files. You were the X-Files. You all but wrote the book.

Fox Mulder

I'm afraid that book is closed.

Dana Scully

As are the X-Files. For better or worse, we've moved on with our lives.

Fox Mulder

Yes, we have. For better or for worse.

Tad O'Malley

Well, that's beside the point.

Dana Scully

What is the point, Mr. O'Malley?

Fox Mulder

And how does a man with your conservative credentials count himself a believer in UFOs and 9/11 false flag conspiracies?

Tad O'Malley

I take it you think my message is disingenuous.

Fox Mulder

Conspiracy sells. It pays for bulletproof limousines.

Tad O'Malley

You think I do it for the ratings?

Fox Mulder

I think you're The O'Reilly Factor with a shopworn little gimmick.

Tad O'Malley

What Bill O'Reilly knows about the truth could fill an eyedropper. The Kelly Cahill incident. Kelly Cahill and her husband were driving home in Victoria, Australia, when a craft appeared overhead. The Cahills lost an hour of time, and Kelly was hospitalized with severe stomach pain after discovering a triangle-shaped mark near her navel. As I said, my interest is real. What I need is your expertise.

Dana Scully

Our expertise for what?

Tad O'Malley

I'm rattling some pretty big cages in the intelligence community, but I'm prepared to go all in, prepared to blow open maybe the most evil conspiracy the world has ever known.

Dana Scully

That's quite an assertion, Mr. O'Malley.

Fox Mulder

What's stopping you?

Tad O'Malley

If I'm putting my ass out there, I need to know it's hanging by more than just a very slender thread.

Scene 08

Sveta's House · Outside

Fox Mulder

Apparently, he has something to show us.

Tad O'Malley

Something and someone.

Fox Mulder

Aliens couldn't find this place. How did you, Mr. O'Malley?

Tad O'Malley

A man in my position finds himself contacted by interesting strangers.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Tad O'Malley

Everyone, meet Sveta.

Scene 09

Sveta's House

Tad O'Malley

Sveta, this is Dana Scully and Fox Mulder.

Sveta

Hi.

Dana Scully

Hi.

Fox Mulder

Hello.

Sveta

Welcome to my home.

Tad O'Malley

Sveta's who suggested I call you.

Fox Mulder

And how would you know to do that?

Sveta

You probably don't recognize me.

Fox Mulder

No, I think I'd remember.

Sveta

You interviewed me and my family when I was just a little girl. Right after my first abduction. Please, come in. These are from over 20 years.

Tad O'Malley

You both probably recognize the classic scoop-mark scars.

Dana Scully

How many times have you been abducted, Sveta?

Sveta

I lost count. And then there are the screen memories they implant.

Tad O'Malley

The memories implanted over actual memories to make abductees forget.

Dana Scully

I'm familiar with the syndrome.

Sveta

They aren't always effective, and things come back to me sometimes.

Dana Scully

Like what kind of things?

Sveta

Tests they do. Harvesting and stuff.

(SCREAMING)

Dana Scully

The aliens made you pregnant?

Sveta

A number of times. But they take the babies before they're born. Those are the memories they can't remove.

Dana Scully

They removed your unborn fetuses?

(SCREAMING)

Sveta

Through here. They do everything through here.

Tad O'Malley

Even with the DNA. Tell them about your DNA, Sveta.

Sveta

I have alien DNA. For sure.

Dana Scully

Have you had a doctor confirm that?

Sveta

No.

Fox Mulder

Something you could test? Dana? Oh, Lord. Oh, good Lord.

Scene 10

New Mexico, 1947 · The Crash Site

Man in Suit

Damn thing could be dangerous.

Young Doctor

(GUN FIRING) What are you doing?

(GUNS FIRING)

Young Doctor

For God's sake, what have you done?

Scene 11

Sveta's House

Dana Scully

I'm gonna take a swab. If you'll roll up your sleeve, I'll get some blood, too.

Sveta

I know you're doubtful about this.

Dana Scully

What makes you say that, Sveta?

Sveta

I'm kind of a mind reader.

Dana Scully

Is that a personal trait, or is that what happens with alien DNA?

Sveta

I can move things. With my mind.

Dana Scully

Would you care to demonstrate?

Sveta

I can't do it all the time.

Dana Scully

So it just happens whenever.

Sveta

I don't know how to control it. You were a couple before.

Dana Scully

I'm sorry, what?

Sveta

You and Mr. Mulder. You were together, but now you're not.

Dana Scully

You reading my mind, Sveta?

Sveta

He's been depressed. What you diagnosed as endogenous depression. It's what killed your relationship. Oh. And you have a child together.

(MOANS)

Dana Scully

That's enough.

Sveta

You believe me now?

Dana Scully

Why don't you tell me.

Sveta

You don't know what it's like to be abducted. To be taken against your will. You don't know. Well, maybe you do.

(HELICOPTER BLADES WHIRRING)

Scene 12

O'Malley's Helicopter

Fox Mulder

I was right about one thing. Conspiracy's made you a very rich man.

Tad O'Malley

One way to look at it. What's made me rich is my pursuit of the truth.

Fox Mulder

My pursuit's not been so lucrative.

Tad O'Malley

I feel I need to warn you. When we arrive at our destination, the people we're meeting are very paranoid about the work they do. I want to prepare you for what you're about to see, Mr. Mulder.

Scene 13

The ARV Lab · Faraday Cage

Fox Mulder

A Faraday cage? For what?

Tad O'Malley

Do you know what an ARV is?

Fox Mulder

That's what you brought me here to see?

Tad O'Malley

This is Garner. He'll walk you through the science.

Fox Mulder

That's an alien replica vehicle?

Garner

Given your background, I would've thought you'd seen one before.

Fox Mulder

No, never. Not like that.

Garner

What we're showing you, we do at great risk. Colleagues have had labs burned to the ground and work destroyed by our own government.

(EXHALES)

(POWERING UP)

Garner

It's running on toroidal energy, so-called zero-point energy. Simply the energy of the universe.

Fox Mulder

You're talking about free energy?

Garner

That we've had since the ‘40s.

Fox Mulder

No fuel, no flame, no combustion.

Garner

A simple electromagnetic field. Technology kept secret for 70 years while the world ran on petroleum.

Fox Mulder

Oil companies making trillions.

Garner

What I'm gonna show you next is the most unbelievable part.

Fox Mulder

Gravity warp drive, but how?

Garner

Element 115.

Fox Mulder

Ununpentium. Where did you get it?

Scene 14

New Mexico, 1947 · The Crash Site

Man in Suit

Where are you going with that thing?

Young Doctor

I'm a man of medicine, sir.

Man in Suit

It's dead. It's done now.

Young Doctor

Then why even bring me out here?

Scene 15

Our Lady of Sorrows · Scrub Room

Tad O'Malley

Testing yourself for alien DNA?

Dana Scully

High cholesterol.

Tad O'Malley

Sorry to barge in on you like this. It looks like you've had quite a day.

Dana Scully

The usual around here.

Tad O'Malley

Doesn't look so usual to me.

Dana Scully

It's a disease called microtia. Children born without ears.

Tad O'Malley

You operate on these kids?

Dana Scully

I assist the surgeons, who are really doing God's work. Giving kids what their biology neglected.

Tad O'Malley

So it's a genetic deformity?

Dana Scully

Possibly, but not conclusively. It's most common in Navajo Indians.

Tad O'Malley

What's so striking is how alien it looks.

Dana Scully

I assure you that is simply a random coincidence, Mr. O'Malley.

Tad O'Malley

You mean, unrelated to your previous work experience?

Dana Scully

Far, far from that experience.

Tad O'Malley

Do you miss it at all? The X-Files?

Dana Scully

As a scientist, it was probably some of the most intense and challenging work I've ever done. I've never felt so alive.

Tad O'Malley

You mean working with Mulder?

Dana Scully

Possibly one of the most intense and challenging relationships I may ever have. And, quite honestly, the most impossible.

Tad O'Malley

Yeah. I got that impression.

Dana Scully

Are you here for a reason?

Tad O'Malley

I needed to know you weren't upset by Mulder putting you on the spot with this Sveta business.

Dana Scully

No, it's fine. I'm used to it.

Tad O'Malley

And I just wanted to see you again.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Scene 16

Sveta's House · Night

Sveta

How did you get here?

Fox Mulder

Hitchhiked. There was a moment you were being asked about your abductions, about your pregnancies, how the aliens took your babies, and before you answered, you looked at O'Malley. Why?

Sveta

Because it's not exactly the right question.

Fox Mulder

I'm sorry, I don't understand.

Sveta

Because I don't believe it's aliens who were taking them.

Fox Mulder

But you said you were abducted.

Sveta

This is difficult. These are very difficult memories, and this is very dangerous answers.

Fox Mulder

Well, everything stays between us, Sveta.

Sveta

The things I've experienced, they've affected my entire life. They've made it impossible to have anything like a normal existence.

Fox Mulder

What are you afraid of?

Sveta

That it only gets worse.

Fox Mulder

Sveta, who took your babies?

Sveta

Men.

Fox Mulder

Men? Humans? You saw their faces?

Sveta

Yes.

(BREATHES DEEPLY)

Sveta

They took me aboard their ships.

Fox Mulder

And...

Sveta

I was afraid they would kill me if I ever told anyone the truth.

Fox Mulder

It's why you didn't see a doctor.

Sveta

Who can I trust? They would call me a liar when they're the liars.

Fox Mulder

You can trust me.

Sveta

You worked for the government.

Fox Mulder

Technically, but not for years.

Sveta

But you always wondered if they weren't lying to you, too.

(CELL PHONE VIBRATING)

Scene 17

O'Malley's Limousine · The Call

Dana Scully

Mulder.

Fox Mulder

Scully, listen to me. I've been misled. We've been misled.

Dana Scully

Mulder, hold on a second.

Fox Mulder

No, just listen to what I'm saying. What if everything we've been led to believe in is a lie? What if there is no alien conspiracy?

Dana Scully

Can we pull over a second? I've got to get out.

Scene 18

Washington, D.C. · Street

Dana Scully

Mulder, what are you talking about?

Fox Mulder

I'm talking about everything we've been led to believe. Our work, the X-Files, everything.

Dana Scully

Can we talk about this soon?

Fox Mulder

I know why O'Malley came to us, Scully. And that girl is the key, Scully. Sveta is the key to everything.

Dana Scully

Couldn't you be jumping to conclusions?

Fox Mulder

I can't do this over the phone right now, Scully. I got to go.

Dana Scully

Mulder, where are you going? Mulder? Talk to me.

Scene 19

FBI Headquarters · The X-Files Office

Fox Mulder

Where are they, the files?

Walter Skinner

I don't know where they are.

Fox Mulder

You said no one had been down here, it hadn't been touched.

Walter Skinner

Not for 14 years since you and Scully left the Bureau.

Fox Mulder

I need access to the X-Files.

Walter Skinner

Can you tell me what this is about?

Fox Mulder

It's about controlling the past to control the future. It's about fiction masquerading as fact. Now, you owe me some answers, Skinner.

Walter Skinner

You just calm the hell down, Mulder, before we both get pissed off.

Fox Mulder

I don't take orders from you.

Walter Skinner

No. Who do you take orders from?

Fox Mulder

Why do you think I called you?

Walter Skinner

Because I was looking out for you, like I've always looked out for you.

Fox Mulder

A decade of my life in this office. And all the time, I was being led by my nose through a dark alley to a dead end, exactly as they planned.

Walter Skinner

You're blaming me for that?

Fox Mulder

No, I'm blaming myself. I'm sure they lied to you, too.

Walter Skinner

There hasn't been a day since you left that I haven't reached for my phone to call you, Mulder, wishing that you were still down here. Since 9/11, this country has taken a big turn in a very strange direction.

Fox Mulder

How they police us and spy on us, tell us that makes us safer? We've never been in more danger.

Walter Skinner

Then do something about it, Mulder.

(DIALING)

(LINE RINGING)

Fox Mulder

Now you've got my number.

Scene 20

O'Malley's Broadcast

Tad O'Malley

So if you own a registered firearm, you will actually be targeted as an enemy by your own government in the likely imposition of martial law. But I'd like to end the show on a brighter note by pointing out the heroic work being done by a friend of mine. Literally putting kids back together who are born without something we all take for granted. At Our Lady of Sorrows Hospital in Washington, D.C.., Dr. Dana Scully, working to mend the lives of unfortunate children.

Scene 21

Our Lady of Sorrows · Scrub Room

O.R. Nurse

Dr. Scully? I've got your test results back.

Dana Scully

Thank you. Nurse? I need you to do something.

O.R. Nurse

Of course.

Dana Scully

I need these samples retested.

O.R. Nurse

Was there a problem with them?

Surgeon

Dr. Scully? We need you in here.

Dana Scully

I just want them retested, please. Thank you. Oh, and I'm expecting a call. Well, I'm hoping for a call from somebody named Mulder.

Scene 22

Washington, D.C. · The Old Man

Old Man

Is the hour absolutely necessary?

Fox Mulder

It was important that I see you.

Old Man

We made an agreement about our meeting in unsecured environments.

Fox Mulder

I took the usual precautions. I'm assuming you did, too.

(AIRPLANE FLYING OVERHEAD)

Fox Mulder

I've been standing here for over an hour. I haven't seen a soul. I called you because you said if I ever put the pieces together, that you would confirm.

Old Man

And have you put them together?

Fox Mulder

I've met someone. I've seen something.

Old Man

‘Cause you weren't even close. Warring aliens lighting each other on fire and other such nonsense.

Fox Mulder

I was being cleverly manipulated.

Old Man

And what brings this new clarity?

Fox Mulder

I saw an ARV running on free energy. I saw it disappear. That's what they all seem to do. But the technology exists. It's existed since Roswell. And it's been in use, being used on humans in human testing, the taking of men, women and children that's misreported as alien abductions.

Old Man

So you believe you have the how.

Fox Mulder

Yes. And I think I know the why.

Old Man

The why is more complicated than you may ever know, Mr. Mulder. Sixty years ago, we were warned about the military industrial complex gathering too much power. This is old news.

Fox Mulder

The countdown has begun. It began in 2012, but no one knew.

Old Man

Tell me something new.

Fox Mulder

Alien technology being used against us, not by aliens, not with aliens, but by a venal conspiracy of men against humanity.

Old Man

You're wasting my time.

Fox Mulder

What are the tests for?

Old Man

You tell me, Mr. Mulder.

Fox Mulder

Ten years ago, you came to me saying you couldn't take your secrets to your grave, that you couldn't live with it.

Old Man

I'm a man of medicine. I didn't know how my work would be used. The lies are so great, Mr. Mulder. The truth must be unassailable.

Fox Mulder

Well, let me tell the world.

Old Man

They'll make a mockery of us.

Fox Mulder

Then let me take that bullet.

Old Man

And these men are capable of that. You're nearly there. You're close.

Fox Mulder

Roswell.

Old Man

That was a smokescreen.

Fox Mulder

So I've been told.

Scene 23

Mulder's House · Driveway

Fox Mulder

What are you doing here, Scully?

Dana Scully

Mulder, you hang up on me, I don't hear from you all day, you're on some jag about the X-Files.

Fox Mulder

I figured it out. It all makes complete sense. All these years, we've been deceived.

Dana Scully

I don't know what you mean.

Fox Mulder

I couldn't call you because It's gonna sound crazy.

Dana Scully

That's why I'm here, Mulder, as somebody who cares about you. As somebody who's worried about you.

Fox Mulder

All right, just listen to me, all right?

Dana Scully

No, you listen to me, Mulder.

Fox Mulder

Scully, you got to trust me on this.

Dana Scully

I have seen this before. You're on fire, believing that you're onto some truth, that you can save the world.

Fox Mulder

This will finally be their undoing.

Dana Scully

It'll be your undoing, Mulder.

Fox Mulder

This is my life. This is everything. This is everything I believe in.

Dana Scully

You want to believe. You so badly want to believe.

Fox Mulder

I do believe. I believe that Tad O'Malley is right. This is not an alien conspiracy. It's a conspiracy of men.

Dana Scully

Tad O'Malley is a charming man full of charming BS, Mulder.

Fox Mulder

No, he woke me up.

Dana Scully

How do you know he's not playing you? He's a player.

Fox Mulder

He's been a godsend.

Dana Scully

What are you talking about?

Fox Mulder

The truth is out there, Scully, and Tad O'Malley's gonna broadcast it.

Dana Scully

Mulder, listen to me. As your friend and as a physician, you are on dangerous ground here.

Fox Mulder

I know what I'm doing.

Sveta

Is everything okay?

Fox Mulder

Yeah, everything is okay. She's the key to everything. Sveta is the key.

Dana Scully

You know what you're doing.

Fox Mulder

Scully.

Tad O'Malley

(KNOCKS ON WINDOW) Hey. Where you going? You're not leaving, are you?

Dana Scully

I just need to get out of here.

Tad O'Malley

Stay. It's important.

Dana Scully

Don't tell me what's important, please. I just need to leave.

Tad O'Malley

Wasn't she invited?

Fox Mulder

I would have invited you, Scully, but I didn't think you'd come.

Dana Scully

I shouldn't have come.

Fox Mulder

Then what are you doing here?

Dana Scully

Mulder, what are you up to?

Scene 24

Mulder's House · Inside

Fox Mulder

The tentacles reach far back into the last century, but it wasn't until victories in Europe and Japan and the onset of the Cold War that political and economic conditions became perfect for actual execution. A conspiracy bigger and more secret than the Manhattan Project.

Tad O'Malley

More odious and far-reaching.

Fox Mulder

No sooner had we defeated Germany that a new threat started appearing in skies over America, drawn to Earth by the latest threat to extinction, the H-bomb. Explosions acting as transducers, drawing alien life-forms through wormholes in spaceships using electrogravitic propulsion.

Tad O'Malley

Advanced extraterrestrial species visiting us, concerned for mankind and the threat of our self-destruction, forestalling our annihilation through their own self-sacrifice.

Fox Mulder

And crashes at Roswell. More importantly, places like Aztec. (GUN FIRING)

Tad O'Malley

World leaders signed secret memos directing scientific studies of alien technology and biochemistry.

Fox Mulder

Classified studies were done at military installations S4, Groom Lake, Wright-Patterson and Dulce, extracting alien tissue. Tests were done on unsuspecting human subjects in elaborately staged abductions, in craft using alien technology recovered from the downed saucers,

(SCREAMING)

Fox Mulder

Including human hybridization through gene editing and forced implantation of alien embryos.

Sveta

Why do such a thing and lie about it, our own government?

Fox Mulder

Your own government lies as a matter of course, as a matter of policy. The Tuskegee experiments on black men in the ‘30s. Henrietta Lacks.

Sveta

What are they trying to do?

Fox Mulder

That's the missing piece.

Tad O'Malley

But it's not hard to imagine. A government hiding, hoarding alien technology for 70 years, at the expense of human life and the future of the planet. Driven not only by corporate greed, but a darker objective.

Fox Mulder

The takeover of America.

Tad O'Malley

And then the world itself, by any means necessary, however violent, or cruel or efficient. By severe drought brought on by weather wars conducted secretly using aerial contaminants and high-altitude electromagnetic waves, in a state of perpetual war to create problem-reaction-solution scenarios to distract, enrage and enslave American citizens at home with tools like the Patriot Act and the National Defense Authorization Act, which abridged the Constitution in the name of national security. The militarization of police forces in cities across the U.S. The building of prison camps by the Federal Emergency Management Agency with no stated purpose. The corporate takeover of food and agriculture, pharmaceuticals and health care, even the military, in clandestine agendas, to fatten, dull, sicken and control a populace already consumed by consumerism. And I encourage you all to go shopping more. A government that taps your phone, collects your data and monitors your whereabouts with impunity. A government preparing to use that data against you when it strikes and the final takeover begins.

Dana Scully

The takeover of America.

Tad O'Malley

By a well-oiled and well-armed multinational group of elites that will cull, kill and subjugate.

Dana Scully

Happening as we sit here.

Tad O'Malley

It's happening all around us.

Fox Mulder

The other shoe waiting to drop.

Tad O'Malley

It'll probably start on a Friday. The banks will announce a security action necessitating their computers to go offline all weekend.

Fox Mulder

Digital money will disappear.

Sveta

They can just steal your money?

Fox Mulder

Followed by the detonation of strategic electromagnetic pulse bombs to knock out major grids.

Tad O'Malley

What will seem like an attack on America by terrorists or Russia.

Fox Mulder

Or a simulated alien invasion using alien replica vehicles that exist and are already in use.

Dana Scully

An alien invasion of the U.S.

Fox Mulder

The Russians tried it in ‘47.

Dana Scully

You can't say these things.

Tad O'Malley

I'm gonna say them tomorrow.

Dana Scully

It's fearmongering claptrap, isolationist techno-paranoia so bogus and dangerous and stupid that it borders on treason. Saying these things would be incredibly irresponsible.

Fox Mulder

It's irresponsible not to say it.

Sveta

Especially if it's the truth.

Dana Scully

Your test came back negative.

Fox Mulder

What do you mean, negative?

Dana Scully

She has no evidence of alien DNA.

Scene 25

Our Lady of Sorrows · O'Malley Goes Dark

Tad O'Malley

I promised you the truth today, but that truth has come under assault.

Sveta

Tad O'Malley tried to put words in my mouth. He paid me to create stories about alien abductions. He is saying lies and stories for his TV show, so people will watch. I am so sorry if I misled anyone.

Fox Mulder

They got to her.

Tad O'Malley

These are the depths our government stoops to.

Fox Mulder

We must be making them very afraid.

O.R. Nurse

Dr. Scully? Your test results came back in.

Fox Mulder

Sveta? Sveta? Sveta?

Scene 27

Hospital Parking Garage

Fox Mulder

There's something called the Venus syndrome. It's a runaway global warming scenario that leads us to the brink of the Sixth Extinction. Those with means will prepare to move off the planet into space, which has already been weaponized against the poor, huddled masses of humanity that haven't been exterminated by the uber-violent fascist elites. If you believe in that kind of thing.

Dana Scully

You look exhausted, Mulder.

Fox Mulder

It was a long day at the office.

Dana Scully

I don't know if you saw, but... Tad O'Malley pulled the plug.

Fox Mulder

They're very good, these guys, you know?

Dana Scully

And what about Sveta? Where is she?

Fox Mulder

I'm sure they scared her to death.

Dana Scully

We need to find her, Mulder. We need to protect her, no matter what.

Fox Mulder

Why? You said her tests came back negative.

Dana Scully

I ran them again. In fact, I sequenced her entire genome because I didn't trust the initial results.

Fox Mulder

Are you saying she has alien DNA?

Dana Scully

And I sequenced my own genome because of my history and because we have a child together.

Fox Mulder

Scully, what are you saying?

Dana Scully

I'm saying she's not the only one. I'm saying someone has to stop these sons of bitches.

(CELL PHONES CHIME AND VIBRATE)

Fox Mulder

Skinner.

Dana Scully

Skinner.

Fox Mulder

Scully, are you ready for this?

Dana Scully

I don't know there's a choice.
