Scene 01

Fox Mulder (voice-over)

I have lived with a fragile faith, built on the ether of vague memories, from an experience that I could neither prove nor explain. When I was 12, my sister was taken from me. Taken from our home by a force that I came to believe was extraterrestrial. This belief sustained me, fueling a quest for truths that were as elusive as the memory itself. To believe as passionately as I did was not without sacrifice, but I always accepted the risks-- to my career, my reputation, my relationships-- to life itself.

[ man on radio, indistinct ] [ shouting, indistinct ]

Man

Let's move out! [ continues, indistinct ]

Rescue Worker

He's an FBI agent. His name's Mulder.

Nurse

We need a frostbite bay stat!

Doctor

Let's get ready, please!

[ chattering ]

Doctor

Take your warmer and get the blood ready. Basal temp's 86 degrees.

Nurse

Right eye dilated. Left eye dilated.

Doctor

Let's get him into that tub or we're gonna lose him. On three. One, two, three!

Dana Scully

Was agent Mulder brought here tonight?

Security Guard #1

This is an authorized area. Military personnel only.

Dana Scully

I'm a federal agent.

Security Guard #1

You're not going anywhere until we see some ID

Dana Scully

There is no time for this. A man is dying.

Fox Mulder (voice-over)

What happened to me out on the ice has justified every belief. If I should die now, it will be with a certainty that my faith has been righteous. And if, through death, larger mysteries are revealed, I will have already learned the answer to the question that has driven me here: that there is intelligent life in the universe other than our own; that they are here among us; and that they have begun to colonize. I'm Dana Scully. I'm agent Mulder's partner. What are his vitals?

Doctor

He's suffering from extreme hypothermia.

Dana Scully

No. You've got to get him out of the tub.

Doctor

He's dying. He's lost his body heat.

Dana Scully

You've got to listen. You're going to kill him. The cold is the only thing keeping him alive.

Nurse

[ high, steady tone ] his heart stopped.

Doctor

Get me one amp of epinephrine and a cannula.

[ steady tone continues ] [ doctors chattering ]

RESEARCH VESSEL ALTA · BEAUFORT SEA, ARCTIC CIRCLE · TWO WEEKS EARLIER

Officer

You got to see this, captain. We got a UFO or something buzzing us. Right up here. It's been hovering up there for about 20 minutes.

Captain

Could be a helicopter.

Officer

Not the way it flew over us.

Man

It's coming at us again.

Officer

It's going to crash.

[ explosion ]

Captain

Reverse engines.

Ship Crew

[ man ] all astern.

Captain

We're going after it.

Anchorman

...has been covering this story, and files this report.

Reporter (TV)

Two days ago, the crew of an ice cutter working the Arctic circle... Thought they had seen a UFO when a strange aircraft plunged into the beaufort sea. But a short time later, they recovered what is now believed to be... A russian fighter pilot from the icy water, where he miraculously survived the extreme Arctic temperatures. The man was airlifted to a military hospital in Alaska, where he was listed in stable condition. While authorities have been trying to determine who the pilot is, we've learned that he has apparently walked out of the hospital, and is now listed as missing. Reporting from our-- [ indistinct ]

Where is he?

[ people coughing ]

[ alarm bell ringing ]

Fox Mulder

Hey, I've been looking for you.

Dana Scully

I was just down the street. Someone fired more shots at the white house last night.

Fox Mulder

You gotta wonder about a country where even the president... Has to worry about drive-by shootings.

Dana Scully

What are you working on?

Fox Mulder

I found these in my e-mail this morning. Three obituaries.

Dana Scully

Sent by whom?

Fox Mulder

Nobody I know, but obviously somebody that knows me.

Dana Scully

Why?

Fox Mulder

The deceased are dr. Landon Prince of Scranton, pennsylvania, dr. Dale gayhart of New York city, and dr. Harvey buchanon of teaneck, New Jersey. All worked in abortion clinics. They died in arson fires.

Dana Scully

Sounds like the work of militant right-to-lifers.

Fox Mulder

Sounds like it.

Dana Scully

Why would somebody send them to you?

Fox Mulder

It's taken me all morning to figure that out.

Dana Scully

What'd you find?

Fox Mulder

This is the latest victim: dr. Landon Prince. And these are the other two victims: drs. Gayhart and buchanon.

Dana Scully

Triplets?

Fox Mulder

No. I can't find any blood connection between them. In fact, I can't find any records on them at all. It's as if before they died, they never existed.

Dana Scully

What?

Scene 05

SCRANTON, PENNSYLVANIA

Federal Marshal

Dr. Prince performed legal, clinical abortions. Which seems to be having its own share of occupational hazards.

Fox Mulder

You don't know anything else about him?

Federal Marshal

He went about his work quietly. None of his family's come forward.

Dana Scully

what about a man you arrested? This, uh, preacher?

Federal Marshal

rev. Calvin Sistrunk.

Federal Marshal

He's got a motive. He's threatened abortion docs before. He was carrying this when we arrested him. We're hoping for an indictment.

Fox Mulder

As soon as you locate dr. Prince's remains.

Federal Marshal

Yes. But that fact hasn't been released.

Fox Mulder

There have been two identical fire deaths. Neither body's been found.

Federal Marshal

We're quite certain he was in the building. His car was in the parking lot. We found his keys in the stairwell where the fire was started. He's been missing since the incident. It could be we'll just be finding teeth and bone.

[ door opens ]

Calvin Sistrunk

Good afternoon.

Federal Marshal

Reverend Sistrunk. These are agents Scully and Mulder. They want to ask you--

Calvin Sistrunk

If dr. Prince burns in hell's fire for his murder of the unborn? If his damnation is god's will?

Fox Mulder

Is that what you think?

Calvin Sistrunk

I guess it's a question of opinion.

Fox Mulder

Well, it's my opinion that whoever killed dr. Prince... Will also be linked to two other murders. How do you feel about that?

Calvin Sistrunk

There are those who endorse... The killing of the heathen sinner in god's name, but I, sir, am not one of them.

Fox Mulder

Have you been to New York and New Jersey in the past two weeks?

Calvin Sistrunk

No, sir.

Fox Mulder

This clipping. Where'd you get it?

Calvin Sistrunk

From the newspaper. Obviously, there are more of god's soldiers seeking this man for judgment.

Fox Mulder

Which newspaper?

Calvin Sistrunk

The local paper, up in Binghamton.

Scene 06

GLOBE AND MAIL · BINGHAMTON, N.Y.

Woman

Oh, yeah. I remember this one. The man who placed this paid cash.

Dana Scully

Would you recognize his face?

Woman

I might. No. That's not him.

Fox Mulder

Do you have a record of his name or address?

Woman

No, we don't. He wouldn't sign anything. In fact, he called and asked to place that ad a second week. So we did, but he never came back to pay.

Fox Mulder

Thank you.

Woman

Sure.

Dana Scully

Got a bad feeling about this case, Mulder.

Fox Mulder

What do you mean?

Dana Scully

Nothing about it makes sense. We've got three deaths of identical victims, no bodies, a virtual non-suspect--

Fox Mulder

Sounds just like an X-File.

Dana Scully

You don't even know who sent that information. Mulder, we've been set up before.

Fox Mulder

If somebody wanted to set us up, would they give us this little to go on? There's something bigger here, Scully. I'd be willing to bet there are more of these guys out there.

Dana Scully

More victims?

Fox Mulder

Unless we get to them first. The deaths follow a pattern: New Jersey, New York, Scranton, and then an ad is placed here in Binghamton... Looking for a man exactly like the others. The killer's moving in a northerly direction. [ stammering ] excuse me? Excuse me. The, uh, number in the ad. Would that be a voice mail?

Woman

Yes, it is.

Fox Mulder

How would you access that?

Woman

Well, you'd start by paying the bill. Dial the number, then press 12-36.

Dana Scully

There's 24 messages responding to the ad. The first caller has seen the man in the photo in Syracuse.

Fox Mulder

That's north.

Scene 07

FBI FIELD OFFICE · SYRACUSE, N.Y.

Barrett Weiss

[ telephone ringing ] special agent Weiss.

Fox Mulder

This is agent Mulder. I need to enlist your help.

Barrett Weiss

Shoot.

Fox Mulder

I'm heading your way with agent Scully. A man in your area may be in danger. His name is dr. Aaron baker. He's living in Syracuse. We need you to find him and sit on him... Until we can get there.

Barrett Weiss

You got it. I'll call you back as soon as I track him down.

Scene 08

Barrett Weiss

Federal agent. Drop your weapon. I said, drop it!

[ hissing, fizzing ]

Barrett Weiss

What the hell?

[ hissing, fizzing ]

[ choking, screaming ]

[ knocking at door ]

Barrett Weiss

Agent Mulder?

Fox Mulder

Yes. Agent Weiss?

Barrett Weiss

Yes, sir.

Fox Mulder

Did you find dr. Baker?

Barrett Weiss

No, I'm afraid not. No one's home. There's two weeks' worth of mail in the mailbox.

Fox Mulder

We may already be too late. We should take a look around anyway.

Barrett Weiss

Not much to see.

Scene 09

FBI HEADQUARTERS · WASHINGTON, D.C.

Secretary

Agent Mulder has arrived.

Walter Skinner

Send him right in.

[ speakerphone clicks off ]

Walter Skinner

Agent Mulder, please have a seat.

Fox Mulder

I'm sorry I'm late. I just flew in.

Walter Skinner

From?

Fox Mulder

Syracuse.

Walter Skinner

Where you were doing what?

Fox Mulder

Agent Scully and I were following up a lead on a case.

Walter Skinner

Did anyone authorize this investigation, agent Mulder?

Fox Mulder

No, sir.

Walter Skinner

Do you have paperwork on this case?

Fox Mulder

No, sir. I-- I'd assumed we had... An understanding with respect to the X-Files.

Walter Skinner

I'm sure it doesn't surprise you that the people I have to answer to... Aren't so understanding, particularly when one of their field agents is dead.

Fox Mulder

What?

Walter Skinner

Special agent barrett Weiss. Out of the Syracuse office. His body was found stuffed in the trunk of a car... In front of a house that you sent him to.

Fox Mulder

It's impossible. I spoke to agent Weiss. I saw him at the house.

Walter Skinner

Save it, agent Mulder. Save it for your report. Until this is cleared up, your butt and mine are in a sling. And your investigation, official or otherwise, is terminated.

Fox Mulder

Sir--

Walter Skinner

Don't underestimate the seriousness of this. A man is dead. I want a full accounting on my desk in the morning.

[ phone ringing ]

[ ringing continues ]

[ ringing, picking up ]

Scene 10

X-FILES OFFICE · FBI HEADQUARTERS · WASHINGTON, D.C.

Fox Mulder

Mulder.

Dana Scully

Mulder, it's me.

Fox Mulder

Where are you?

Dana Scully

I'm at home.

Fox Mulder

Agent Weiss is dead, Scully.

Dana Scully

What?

Fox Mulder

Somebody killed him, and Skinner hit the roof. We're being grounded until he gets a full accounting. I just wish I knew what the hell was going on.

Dana Scully

Have you checked your e-mail this morning, Mulder?

Fox Mulder

No. Why?

Dana Scully

Because I received something unsettling, and I wondered if you'd gotten it too.

Fox Mulder

What is it?

Dana Scully

It's a digitally-scanned photograph. There's another one, Mulder. His name is dr. James Dickens. And, Mulder? He's here in Washington. Yeah?

Fox Mulder

Stay where you are, Scully. I'll be right there to pick you up.

Scene 11

SCULLY'S HOUSE · WASHINGTON, D.C.

[ car approaching, stopping ]

Ambrose Chapel

Agent Mulder? My name is Ambrose Chapel. I work for the central intelligence agency. I need to talk to you about the case you're working on.

Fox Mulder

What case is that?

Ambrose Chapel

The murder of certain identical victims. I have a story to tell, agent Mulder. Believe me, you want to hear it. We've known of their existence for a decade. We had no idea they were in the country until last year.

Dana Scully

Who are they?

Ambrose Chapel

We're working on vague intelligence reports, but it appears that early in the cold war, soviet scientists... Stumbled on a genetic anomaly in sets of identical twins. They were able to isolate the specific DNA material that gave the twins... Their facial features, hair color, texture-- and they were able to reproduce it.

Dana Scully

Are you saying these men are clones?

Ambrose Chapel

By all outward appearances.

Fox Mulder

How did they get here?

Ambrose Chapel

The program went by the code name "Gregor," the name given to every clone. We believe the original Gregor came here... Sometime in the mid-'70s, on a german passport. Using that same document, they were able to bring a small cadre of clones into the country, several of which have obtained... Strategic positions in the medical establishment.

Fox Mulder

For what purpose?

Ambrose Chapel

In the event of war, they would mobilize simultaneously at different facilities across the u.s.... To contaminate blood supplies, sabotage pharmaceutical factories-- essentially destroy the country's immune system.

Dana Scully

If you've known about this for a year, why hasn't anything been done?

Ambrose Chapel

Well, this is where the story gets perhaps even more incredible. In a secret agreement, someone is allowing the gregors... To be systematically eliminated-- by a man who I believe is a russian spy-killer-- in exchange for the absolute suppression of the program's existence.. And to obtain the science that created it.

Fox Mulder

What's your business in this?

Ambrose Chapel

I believe we share... Similar sentiments on our government's policies of denial, which is why they've been trying to contact you.

Dana Scully

Who?

Ambrose Chapel

The gregors. You've obviously got a reputation as someone who might protect them... And bring these misdeeds to light.

Fox Mulder

What makes you think we've been contacted?

Ambrose Chapel

Your inquiries into their deaths.

[ paper rustling ]

Ambrose Chapel

And your response to the ad I placed. We're talking state-sanctioned murder. If we can find them first, maybe the truth can be known.

Fox Mulder

We know where one of these men may be.

[ electronic beeping ]

Scene 12

GERMANTOWN, MARYLAND

James Dickens

Okay. Let's go.

Scene 13

DICKENS' APARTMENT

[ knocking at door ]

James Dickens

Who is it?

Dana Scully

Agents Scully and Mulder. We're with the FBI

Fox Mulder

[ Mulder ] dr. Dickens?

James Dickens

Yes.

Fox Mulder

I believe you've been trying to contact us.

James Dickens

Uh--

Dana Scully

May we come in, dr. Dickens?

James Dickens

Uh--

Fox Mulder

It's okay, sir. There's nothing to be afraid of.

[ grunts ]

[ body thumping ]

Dana Scully

I'll call the paramedics.

Fox Mulder

He's moving. He's getting up!

[ hangs up receiver ]

Dana Scully

I'll call you back.

[ horn honking ]

[ grunting ]

Dana Scully

You okay?

Fox Mulder

Okay. I just got the wind knocked out of me. Don't lose him. Go!

Dana Scully

Okay.

Man

Are you all right?

[ panting ]

[ groaning ]

[ sighs ]

Ambrose Chapel

He's gone.

Dana Scully

Where?

Ambrose Chapel

He blindsided me. Went up the fire escape before I could grab him. I'm gonna go see... If I can find a way up on the roof.

Scene 14

X-FILES OFFICE · FBI HEADQUARTERS · WASHINGTON, D.C.

[ footsteps retreating ]

[ door opening ]

Dana Scully

How are you feeling?

Fox Mulder

Like I should have used the crosswalk. A lot better than my phone.

Dana Scully

Maybe we should have dropped this case when you were told.

Fox Mulder

Scully, if what our friend from the c.I.a. Says is true, this could blow the lid off one of the biggest national security conspiracies ever.

Dana Scully

Our "friend" from the c.I.a. Is about as unbelievable as his story, as is everything about this case. Whatever happened to "trust no one," Mulder?

Fox Mulder

I changed it to "trust everyone." I didn't tell you? I ran a full background check on this guy. Ambrose Chapel is a 17-year veteran. Special intelligence clearance. He's the real thing, Scully.

Dana Scully

Why would a man with his experience need our help? And how could he let a man he's been looking so hard for... Slip away so easily? That doctor wasn't running away from us, Mulder. He was running away from agent chapel.

Fox Mulder

I think you're being overly paranoid about him, Scully.

Dana Scully

Paranoid. Have you stopped to consider... That maybe it was chapel who killed that agent in Syracuse?

Fox Mulder

Is that what you want me to put on my report? I'd be happy to have you explain that to him.

Dana Scully

Damn it, Mulder, that is not my job. You'll pursue a case... At the expense of everything, to the point of insanity, and expect me to follow you. There has to be somewhere to draw the line.

Fox Mulder

Three identical men are dead. A fourth identical man is alive and on the lam. If the pursuit of this case seems like insanity to you, step away from it.

Dana Scully

An FBI agent died because of our pursuit of this case.

Fox Mulder

Those are the risks we take. You either accept them or you don't. We all draw our own lines.

Dana Scully

I have to show you something. I got these a week ago. I stepped in something last night that ate clean through the sole. Now, maybe I'm being paranoid, but it was in the exact spot where this man chapel said the doctor escaped.

Fox Mulder

Why don't you send it to our lab guys for analysis? While you're at it, why don't you arrange for an autopsy bay?

Dana Scully

An autopsy bay?

Fox Mulder

Putting together my report for Skinner, I came across something I think you'll appreciate. Whoever killed that field agent in Syracuse was so clever... No clear cause of death can be established.

Scene 15

AUTOPSY BAY · FBI HEADQUARTERS · WASHINGTON, D.C.

Dana Scully

There's no penetrating knife or gunshot wounds; no ligature marks or abrasions from strangulation; the toxicological is clean; and the blood work-- well, the blood work is strange.

Fox Mulder

Strange how?

Dana Scully

Well, there's evidence of polycythemia-- excessive production of red blood cells.

Fox Mulder

How excessive?

Dana Scully

Extremely. The doctor who made this report has it that the blood was "curdled like jelly." as if something caused the blood to thicken or clot prior to death.

Fox Mulder

Due to what?

Dana Scully

Possibly a coagulating agent... Introduced into the body, but it would have shown up on the toxicological.

Fox Mulder

Didn't agent chapel say something about these doctors... Being able to contaminate the blood supply? Couldn't one of those contaminants have been used to kill this man?

Dana Scully

I don't know, Mulder. I-- there was a doctor's bag I took as evidence from the apartment.

Man

Agent Mulder? Assistant director Skinner's been looking for you.

Fox Mulder

All right. I'll be right there.

[ softly ]

Fox Mulder

Check the bag. See if you can find anything. We'll connect.

Dana Scully

Skinner's gonna want to know why you didn't file your report. What are you going to say?

Fox Mulder

Just the truth. I got hit by a car.

Scene 16

ASSISTANT DIRECTOR WALTER SKINNER'S OFFICE · FBI HEADQUARTERS · WASHINGTON, D.C.

Fox Mulder

I'm sorry this is so late. I had trouble with the data--

Walter Skinner

That's not why I called you in here, agent Mulder. Your father's been trying to reach you. There's been a family emergency.

Fox Mulder

Thank you.

Hello?

Mom?

Mrs. Mulder

Fox, is that you?

Fox Mulder

Yeah, I didn't expect you to answer. What are you doing at dad's? Is he all right?

Mrs. Mulder

Yes. Let me put him on.

William Mulder

Hello?

Fox Mulder

Dad? I got a message there was a family emergency.

William Mulder

I received a very strange phone call this afternoon. I called your mother. We think it's important... That you come up here as soon as possible.

Fox Mulder

Can you tell me what this is about?

William Mulder

I'll know more when you get here.

Dana Scully

I didn't find much of anything to go on, but we've got an address.

Fox Mulder

Check it out. I'll call you as soon as I can.

Dana Scully

Where are you going?

Fox Mulder

Home.

This is Fox Mulder. Leave me a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Dana Scully

[ beeping ] Mulder, it's me. I need to talk to you immediately. I've got some new information on this case. Mulder, I think I'm in danger. I'm in my apartment, and I think I've been followed.

MARTHA'S VINEYARD · WEST TISBURY, MASSACHUSETTS

[ phone beeping, off hook ]

William Mulder

Your mother needs some time.

Fox Mulder

You said it was an emergency.

William Mulder

She wanted you to come. It's a difficult time. I appreciate your coming at such short notice.

Fox Mulder

What is it, dad?

William Mulder

The certainty... Becomes a comfort that allows you to move on. We bury our memories so deep, after all that has been destroyed, never expecting--

Fox Mulder

Who is mom talking to?

William Mulder

Your sister.

Samantha Mulder

Fox.

Mrs. Mulder

After all those sleepless nights, now I can hardly keep my eyes open.

Fox Mulder

Well, you're exhausted. We all are. It's after 5:30.

Mrs. Mulder

Oh, I just need a couple of hours.

[ light clicks off ]

Fox Mulder

Try and get some sleep.

Mrs. Mulder

Fox.

Fox Mulder

Yeah, mom?

Mrs. Mulder

It is really her. Isn't it?

Fox Mulder

Um, I don't see who else it could be. Go on. Go to sleep.

Samantha Mulder

Is it too late for a game of stratego?

Fox Mulder

It's 22 years too late.

Samantha Mulder

I don't think dad could think of anything to say. He just sat here.

Fox Mulder

So much has happened. Where do you begin?

Samantha Mulder

I must have been nine or ten when I was returned. I had no memory. I was placed with a family who raised me as a daughter.

Fox Mulder

Who were they?

Samantha Mulder

I knew they weren't my parents, but I didn't remember mom or dad. Or you.

Fox Mulder

But you came to remember... Us.

Samantha Mulder

I started having trouble several years ago. It was diagnosed as free-floating anxiety. Nothing worked for me. I hit rock bottom. Until I underwent regression hypnotherapy. And it all started coming back. The abductions, the tests--

Fox Mulder

What do you mean?

Samantha Mulder

You've been contacted. You know there's a man hunting my father and the other doctors.

Fox Mulder

Your f-- your father?

Samantha Mulder

My adoptive parents. They're only visitors here. What people would call aliens. A bounty hunter's been sent to kill them. You've met this man. His lies to you have caused others like my father to die. He won't stop until he's killed them all... And anyone who tries to stop him. He'll come for me soon.

Fox Mulder

All right. Do not under any circumstances trust the c.I.a. Agent.

[ hangs up ]

Fox Mulder

Your life may be in danger. Now, call me.

Samantha Mulder

She may not be able to recognize him. He has the ability to disguise himself.

Disguise himself? How?

As anyone.

As anyone? You gotta be kidding.

No. You can't recognize him, but I can.

You cannot harm us.

Dana Scully

Sir--

Gregor Clone #1

It's all right. We are the last remaining. Unless you protect us, we are already dead.

Dana Scully

These men are to be held at maximum security protective custody. No visitors, no press, no anybody. Okay?

FBI Agent

Yeah. Can I ask? Who are these guys?

Dana Scully

I'll let you know when I figure it out myself.

All right. I need her to call Fox Mulder. As soon as she checks in, okay? Fox Mulder.

Man

Fox Mulder.

Yes.
