Man

Come on. Move around towards shore. Get down!

Scene 02

THE HEADLESS WOMAN'S PUB · WASHINGTON, D.C.

Dana Scully

Get down stay down! You're gonna keep breathing. Do you hear me?

[ grunting ]

Woman

Hurry! He's getting away!

Dana Scully

I'll be right back. Back away. Back aw--

[ sirens blaring ]

Dana Scully

I need an EMT in here now.

Police Officer

Car 39 requesting EMT.

Bartender

Come on, now. Let her through. Let her through. Okay. Help me with this table. Give her some room.

Dana Scully

We've got paramedics on the way. You're going to the hospital. You're going to be okay. We still haven't celebrated my birthday, pendrill. I'm not going to let you off the hook like this.

Bartender

Let 'em through. Let 'em through, please.

Dana Scully

This man has a puncture wound to his right lung. He needs to be intubated immediately.

Paramedic

You got it.

Dana Scully

He's an FBI agent, and he's not gonna die. Sit down.

Louis Frish

I'm sorry. How did they know?

Dana Scully

When you talked to your girlfriend, what did you say? Did you tell her you were in D.C.?

Louis Frish

No.

Dana Scully

Then there's someone inside.

Paramedic

[ man ]...three, lift.

[ indistinct ]

Walter Skinner

What happened? Who shot pendrill?

Dana Scully

I don't know.

Walter Skinner

I got a call about a federal witness being transferred.

Dana Scully

It's sergeant louis Frish. He was the intended target. There was supposed to be a federal marshal here... To put the sergeant into protective custody.

Walter Skinner

That order was countermanded.

Dana Scully

By whom?

Walter Skinner

Louis Frish is being put under military arrest.

Dana Scully

Military arrest?

Walter Skinner

For suspicion of murder and providing false testimony in a federal investigation.

Dana Scully

He has testimony that is damaging to the military. His life is in danger. He is not going anywhere.

Walter Skinner

The order to arrest this man came out of the office of the joint chiefs of staff, who have also issued a recommendation on agent Mulder.

Dana Scully

For what?

Walter Skinner

Agent Mulder's also been put under military arrest... On charges of interference with a military investigation... Into a crash of a commercial airliner.

Dana Scully

The military is responsible for the downing of that plane.

Walter Skinner

They are admitting as much. Sergeant Frish's story is not the one they're telling.

Dana Scully

What is their story?

Walter Skinner

I have a responsibility for the safety of the agents under my supervision. I'm not going to put another agent's life in jeopardy... Just to keep her out in the field.

Dana Scully

I'm fine.

Walter Skinner

I suggest you make sure of that when you go to the hospital with agent pendrill.

Scene 03

VON DREHLE AIR FORCE · RESERVE INSTALLATION

Dana Scully

Mulder.

Fox Mulder

Hey, Scully. You come to spring me from the joint?

Dana Scully

I came to talk to you.

Fox Mulder

About what? A big ol' misunderstanding?

Dana Scully

According to the military, there was no misunderstanding.

Fox Mulder

So all of the sudden they just decide to take responsibility... For the crash of flight 549?

Dana Scully

They had no choice. Not in light of all the facts that have come out.

Fox Mulder

Facts? Have you heard their cover story: that the control tower gave bad coordinates to a fighter pilot... Causing it to collide with flight 549 over military airspace?

Dana Scully

They allowed me to listen to the recordings. If you believe in the coordinates that sergeant Frish... Gave to the fighter pilot... Were the exact path that 549 was on. Now, they would indicate that sergeant Frish and his co-controller... Could not have seen flight 549 in the airspace until it was too late.

Fox Mulder

So they're saying the tower put those jets on a collision course.

Dana Scully

Yes. And that they were the only two aircraft on the radar screen.

Fox Mulder

Realizing his guilt, sergeant Frish's fellow officer put a gun to his head.

Dana Scully

According to the air force, sergeant Frish lied to save himself. When he found out that his fellow officer committed suicide, he came to us to blame the military. That's why they pursued him, to bring him to justice.

Fox Mulder

And they could conveniently lay the blame on a dead man.

Dana Scully

Yes.

Fox Mulder

This, uh, second plane, they say it's a military fighter?

Dana Scully

It was an f-15 eagle, according to an air force spokesman.

Fox Mulder

You believe that story, Scully?

Dana Scully

I don't know what to believe.

Fox Mulder

Do you believe I got this from an f-15 eagle?

Dana Scully

Those look like radiation burns. Where did you get that?

Fox Mulder

At the second crash site... In about 50 feet of water at the bottom of Sacandaga lake.

Dana Scully

You found it?

Fox Mulder

Mm-hmm. I followed a trail of bubbles... Down to a wreckage that didn't look like anything that might take off from an air force base.

Dana Scully

What was it?

Fox Mulder

What collided with flight 549 was a UFO... Shot down by the military, taking the passenger plane right along with it.

Dana Scully

Except it can't be proven.

Fox Mulder

Why not?

Dana Scully

Because they haven't been able to find any physical evidence... That flight 549 was involved in a collision.

Fox Mulder

According to who?

Dana Scully

Mike Malar, the I.I.c., the man running the investigation.

Fox Mulder

How do you know he's not lying?

Dana Scully

I don't. He seems to be the one man who truly wants to figure out what downed that plane, and who came to me with information he had no reason to share.

Fox Mulder

What information?

Dana Scully

He found Sharon Graffia wandering in a daze at the crash site... The night we left after seeing lights over the area.

Fox Mulder

Max Fennig's sister.

Dana Scully

That's another thing, Mulder. She's not Max Fennig's sister.

Fox Mulder

Well, who is she?

Dana Scully

She's an unemployed aeronautical engineer... Who spent time in and out of mental institutions. That's where she met Max.

Fox Mulder

Why would she lie?

Dana Scully

I don't know. All I know is that this plane seems to be killing people... As it sits there on the ground. Mulder, agent pendrill is dead.

Fox Mulder

How?

Dana Scully

Shot in an attempt on sergeant Frish in Washington. He saved his life, Mulder, and maybe mine.

Fox Mulder

All right, Scully. Scully?

Dana Scully

Mulder, what are these people dying for? Is it for the truth or for the lies?

Fox Mulder

It's gotta be for the truth. If we owe them anything, it's to make sure of that.

Scene 04

BARNES CORNERS, NEW YORK

Fox Mulder

Excuse me, sir. Max Fennig?

Gardener

He's over there.

Fox Mulder

Thank you. Remember this place?

Dana Scully

I remember being amazed at what some people will call home.

Fox Mulder

You have to admit, the man had an enduring sense of style.

Dana Scully

Only Max Fennig and you would appreciate living like this. [ laughs ]

Dana Scully

I think you were actually kindred spirits in some deep, strange way.

Fox Mulder

What do you mean?

Dana Scully

Men with spartan lives, simple in their creature comforts, if only to allow for the complexity of their passions.

Fox Mulder

Mm, beans and weenies.

Dana Scully

What exactly are we looking for here, Mulder?

Fox Mulder

Something to explain what Max was doing on that plane. What he was coming to show me or tell me.

Dana Scully

What makes you think that he was coming to see you?

Fox Mulder

Max is the key to all this. He knew that plane was in danger even before it took off, before it entered military airspace. Now, how would he know that, and what would be worth taking that risk?

Max Fenig (recording)

Hi. Max here, but of course. This is, uh, well, quite obviously my story, since I'm telling it. Anyway, um, for those of you who know me already... This is going to be ancient history, but for the rest of you this is-- well, what can I say-- the story of my life. All I ever wanted in life was to be left alone. [ scoffs ] don't we all. Uh, so just my luck that I'd eventually become an alien abductee. Now I'm never alone. Any minute when I'm least expecting it-- and the worst part is no one believes you. Oh, well, almost no one. So, I've devoted my life to providing all you disbelievers with proof. Proof that there are extraterrestrial, biological entities right now... Visiting our planet in alien ships for purposes of a troubling agenda... Known only to certain members of government, the FBI... And certain high-ranking members of the military industrial community... Who have recovered some of these very craft. Not that they'd ever admit to it publicly, of course. Nor would they admit that they have salvaged some of this alien technology... And are using it in military applications. No, that would be un-American. And they won't admit it until... Someone confronts them with irrefutable, undeniable proof. Someone like me. And, uh, I should probably mention that I do this... At great risk to my own health and safety. But hey, when every day's just another day, you're gonna get kidnapped by a bunch of little gray dudes from outer space, what's a few CIA spooks to worry about?

Scott Garrett

Careful.

[ gagging ]

[ gasps ]

Scene 05

GREAT SACANDAGA LAKE

Scott Garrett

We found it.

Mike Millar

Ladies and gentlemen,

Scene 06

HANGAR

Mike Millar

Recovery and identification of the deceased victims in flight 549... Is at 76%. Which is far better than anticipated, given the kind of destruction that we've all seen. We've got a total of nearly 3,000 man-hours logged already... In this first wave of investigation. And I wish I could tell you folks we've come up with something more concrete. But the evidence... Just doesn't support anything more conclusive... Than the air force's assertion that the cause of this crash... Was a midair collision or a catastrophic near-miss. I'm gonna ask you all to wrap up your reports tonight. And then I want you to go home to your families. You've done a good and thorough job here. You'll be in touch with me or someone from the n.t.s.b. On anything further. I just wanted to thank you all personally. Thank you.

[ quiet chatter ]

Mike Millar

I'd wondered what happened to you. I'd put in a call.

Fox Mulder

You had something you wanted to tell us?

Mike Millar

No. Just-- just wanted to touch base. Thank you for your help in leading us to the fact of the military's involvement.

Fox Mulder

I think the facts are still a matter of speculation, mr. Malar. Listening to what you just said, I think you do too.

Dana Scully

The military's public claim of fault for the collision... And their covert actions to promote that claim have raised some suspicions.

Mike Millar

Suspicions? Of what?

Dana Scully

That the story the military is now promoting... Is a convenience deflection and cover-up.

Mike Millar

Of what?

Fox Mulder

Agent Scully and I agree on some of the motives, but not exactly on the facts.

Mike Millar

Do you have facts that I don't?

Fox Mulder

No, but I do have a story... If you're willing to hear it. Feel free to tell me it's bull, as agent Scully has, but I think it's as believable as any story I've heard. At least it's the only one that can't be refuted by the facts.

Mike Millar

All right.

Fox Mulder

There was one man who knew what brought this plane down. And he knew it even before he got on the plane, but he got on anyway. He sat right here in this seat, 13-f. His name was Max Fennig. There are a number of possibilities for Max's suspicions, but I believe Max had been followed for some time before he boarded flight 549. And I believe he was followed onto this plane... By someone who wanted whatever it is Max had carried on board with him. The object that ultimately brought down this plane, the cause which has alluded you.

Mike Millar

And what was this object?

Fox Mulder

Physical proof of the existence of extraterrestrial life and intelligence. The person who followed Max on the plane... May have been prepared to kill to obtain this object. Its value greater than one human life, greater than the lives of the 134 people on that plane. Whether that plan was executed, we may never know. Because flight 549 was intercepted by a second aircraft, an aircraft which did not appear on the military's or anyone else's radar screen.

Pilot

What the hell is this?

Fox Mulder

Max Fennig knew immediately what this craft was, and that he would not be completing the rest of the flight as scheduled.

[ woman, screaming ]

Fox Mulder

Max would have recognized immediately all the signs of an abduction scenario: the craft taking control of the plane and all its systems, preparing to take Max. But something happened. Something went terribly wrong. Something unimaginable.

Mike Millar

Okay.

Fox Mulder

A third aircraft, probably an f-15 eagle, was given the coordinates for flight 549.

Louis Frish

Heading one-zero-zero and two-niner thousand feet. Go ahead.

Fox Mulder

The flight controllers watched the fighter enter... Flight 549's airspace on an intercept pattern, not knowing what they had set in motion. No way of knowing there was a third craft which was not on their screen. Not knowing that for the next nine minutes, time would stand still on flight 549.

Pilot

[ controls beeping ] I've got something. An intercept. My God! My God! Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!

[ passengers screaming ]

[ clicks ]

Mike Millar

You're saying the man who was sitting in seat 13-f was abducted, mid-flight, without any depressurization of the cabin, without any effect on the plane?

Fox Mulder

If not for factors unforeseen, I believe Max Fennig would have been abducted... And returned to flight 549 without any loss of life, without a trace.

Mike Millar

Then what happened?

Fox Mulder

Flight 549 and the alien craft which had taken control of it... Were intercepted... By the military fighter which had been given a specific set of orders: to take down the UFO. The missing nine minutes aboard flight 549, nine minutes that would have been erased from the memories... Of the 134 passengers on board, would prove to be the final minutes of their lives.

[ passengers screaming ]

[ indistinct shouting ]

Mike Millar

You're saying, in effect, that flight 549... Was in a group of a sort of UFO tractor beam?

Fox Mulder

That's a hollywood term, but yes.

Mike Millar

And the air force shot down the UFO, thereby sending 549 out of control when the beam went off?

Fox Mulder

Yes.

Mike Millar

Well, where I come from, that's what we call a whopper. Even if it were true, I could never in a million years sell that to Washington, and neither could you.

Fox Mulder

Not without the object that Max Fennig was carrying.

Dana Scully

Look, I-I had the same reaction to the story as you, but there is one logical area that has yet to be explained. That is that the seats and the door... Did show traces of radioactivity. Now, you found nothing in the wreckage, no source of any emitter?

Mike Millar

I did find something. I think you should look at it. After you'd found the first traces, I had my team see of they could... Link the radioactivity to a cause. They found no other evidence. Except for this.

Fox Mulder

That's it?

Mike Millar

That's all there was. I gonna have to make my final report. I'll include this.

Dana Scully

But not as a causal factor.

Mike Millar

It's a good story. Maybe you can sell it to the movies.

Dana Scully

Mulder, I don't know what else you expect him to do.

Fox Mulder

Yeah, I know.

Dana Scully

Look, it is a good story, but it's a house of cards built on a shaky foundation. You may never know what Max was carrying.

Fox Mulder

And we may never know who killed agent pendrill. If we don't find out, what meaning do their deaths have or their lives? Max will be remembered as a... Disappointing rummage sale or some kook on a home video.

Dana Scully

Where do we even start?

Fox Mulder

How about Sharon Graffia?

Dana Scully

She's a disturbed person, Mulder. She wasn't even who she claimed to be.

Fox Mulder

Yeah, but she knew Max well enough for him to write her thousands of letters. Well enough for him to call her and tell her he was gonna die. Do you know where she is?

Dana Scully

In a mental institution.

Fox Mulder

I'd go with ya, but I'm afraid they'd lock me up.

Dana Scully

Me too.

Hello. Are you a friend of Max's?

Fox Mulder

♪♪ [ stops ] no. My name is, uh, Mulder. I'm with the FBI.

Landlord

You're kiddin', right?

Fox Mulder

No. Why?

Landlord

Well, I manage the park. I know Max had some weird friends. And I don't believe the FBI sends men out 'cause somebody trashed a trailer.

Fox Mulder

Any idea who did this?

Landlord

Uh, no. Is Max in trouble or something?

Fox Mulder

No. Max is dead. He died in a plane crash a few days ago.

Landlord

Oh, lord. I am sorry to hear that.

Fox Mulder

Uh, did he ever mention why he would leave or where he would go?

Landlord

No, but he disappeared sometimes. Had stories. You're sure that's not what happened to him?

Fox Mulder

Yeah. Yeah, I'm sure.

Landlord

Have you any idea who's going to be taking care of his estate? Where I should forward his mail?

Fox Mulder

Oh, he has mail?

Landlord

Yeah, small stack of it. I'll run and get it, if you want it.

Fox Mulder

Please.

Landlord

Here you go. Sure feel sorry about Max.

Fox Mulder

So do I.

Scene 08

NORTHEAST GEORGETOWN MENTAL HEALTH CENTER

Dana Scully

Sharon?

Sharon Graffia

Hello.

Dana Scully

How are you feeling? You up to answering some questions?

Sharon Graffia

I'm not Max's sister.

Dana Scully

I know. We're not quite sure why you lied to us though, Sharon. Or what else you might be lying about.

Sharon Graffia

Doesn't matter anymore.

Dana Scully

Yes, it does. If you know something-- if you know anything about what Max was doing, about what he was carrying on that plane, it could matter a lot.

Sharon Graffia

To who?

Dana Scully

To Max.

Sharon Graffia

I can't.

Dana Scully

Why not?

Sharon Graffia

Because I could be in big, big trouble.

Dana Scully

Max had those same blisters. You both were exposed to something, Sharon. What was it?

Sharon Graffia

It was something I stole.

Dana Scully

From whom? Max was trying to find physical evidence to prove the stories about his abductions were true. You worked as an aeronautical systems engineer. You stole something from your employer, didn't you, Sharon? Something radioactive.

Sharon Graffia

Only because I believed in Max.

Dana Scully

What was it?

Sharon Graffia

Max said it was alien technology. It was three interlocking parts. We divided into sections. I had one part. Max had another on board that flight. But they were taken from us.

Dana Scully

There was a third part. What happened to it?

Scene 09

SYRACUSE HANCOCK INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

Fox Mulder

I left a bag here.

Clerk

Big bag, little bag?

Fox Mulder

Short bag, tall bag. I don't remember. Little bag, I think.

Man

He's at the baggage claim.

Clerk

Is this it?

Fox Mulder

I'm a federal officer. I need a security entrance to the terminal.

Clerk

Right this way.

Airport Passenger

Tell me, is your wife going to be with you?

Airport Passenger 2

No, I'm going alone.

[ cell phone ringing ]

Fox Mulder

Mulder.

Dana Scully

Mulder, it's me. Where are you?

Fox Mulder

I'm at the airport in Syracuse, New York. Whatever it is that Max had, I have it now.

Dana Scully

How did you find it?

Fox Mulder

Luck.

Dana Scully

What you're carrying was stolen from a military contractor, cummins aerospace.

Fox Mulder

Well, what is it?

Dana Scully

I don't know.

Fox Mulder

I'm going to let you know in a minute.

Dana Scully

It is extremely important that you do not take it out of its container.

Fox Mulder

What's that? I'm having trouble hearing you on the phone.

Dana Scully

Did you hear what I said?

Fox Mulder

No. Hold on. I'm going to tell you what it looks like.

Dana Scully

No, no, no. Mulder, listen to me. Do not handle it. Whatever it is, it is highly radioactive.

Fox Mulder

Hold on a second.

Dana Scully

[ static ] Mulder?

[ beeping ]

Fox Mulder

It looks like a small superstructure... With three circular pieces inside. It's hard to tell on an x Ray. Hold on.

Dana Scully

I think what we've got here, Mulder, is high tech industrial espionage.

Fox Mulder

More people are trying to get their hands on this thing than a tickle-me-elmo doll. I'm getting on a flight.

Dana Scully

What flight number?

Fox Mulder

I think it's 501. Yeah. I'm gonna need a ride when I get there.

Dana Scully

I don't think that will be a problem, Mulder.

Fox Mulder

Thanks.

Scott Garrett

Excuse me. You look like you've got some room here. Do you mind?

Fox Mulder

No. Go ahead.

Scott Garrett

Didn't mean to disturb you.

Fox Mulder

It's all right.

Scott Garrett

You traveling by yourself? Do you live in D.C.?

Fox Mulder

There's a weapon pointed at you right now. I'm pretty sure at this range it wouldn't just hit you in the leg. If you so much as raise your arms off your armrest, I'm gonna test that theory.

Scott Garrett

What if you miss?

Fox Mulder

I won't.

Scott Garrett

Do you know what happens when a plane... Suddenly depressurizes at 30,000 feet, mr. Mulder? After the cabin fills with fog, all light objects, anything not tied down-- and including your weapon-- go flying toward the breach.

Fox Mulder

The pretty lady comes around with the honey-roasted peanuts?

Scott Garrett

Presuming the pilot is even able to keep control of the plane, I put on a lightweight parachute I just stowed in the overhead bin... And go out the emergency exit... With the knapsack you're holding.

Fox Mulder

What if the pilot can't get control of the plane? Then you die too.

Scott Garrett

A man, if he's any man at all, knows he must be ready to sacrifice himself... To that which is greater than he.

Fox Mulder

I'm sure all the other passengers on this plane... Would appreciate dying for your noble philosophy.

Scott Garrett

Look out your window, agent Mulder. You see the lights? Now, imagine if one of those lights flickered off. You'd hardly notice, would you? A dozen, two dozen lights extinguished. Is it worth sacrificing the future, the lives of millions, to keep a few lights on?

Fox Mulder

What is this?

Scott Garrett

Stolen property.

Fox Mulder

It's an alien energy source, isn't it? What is it, cold fusion, over-unity energy? What could be worth killing all those passengers on flight 549?

Scott Garrett

The cause of that crash has been determined as human error.

Fox Mulder

And I'm gonna see you pay for that error, along with you and your employer and the government that finances its contracts. Now, I want you to stand up very slowly and move to the back of the plane. We're gonna go to the bathroom. Move.

[ cell phone ringing ]

Dana Scully

[ beeps ] Scully.

Fox Mulder

Hey, Scully. It's me.

Dana Scully

Mulder, where are you?

Fox Mulder

I'm standing outside an airplane bathroom... Where I've got the man who shot pendrill locked up.

Dana Scully

What?

Fox Mulder

It looks like I'm gonna miss the in-flight movie. It was something starring steve guttenberg.

Dana Scully

Mulder, did you get on the flight that you said you were getting on?

Fox Mulder

Yeah. Everything's going according to plan. I think you should alert Skinner anyway. I don't want to take any chances getting this guy off the plane. I don't think you do either.

Dana Scully

Right.

Fox Mulder

Hey, Scully. My watch just stopped.

Dana Scully

Yeah? What? Mulder? Mulder?

Fox Mulder

Excuse me. I'm a federal agent. I want you to listen to me very carefully. This plane is about to be intercepted.

Stewardess

Intercepted?

Fox Mulder

Intercepted, engaged and boarded. I want you to tell the captain to initiate evasive maneuvers immediately.

Scott Garrett

Put the bag down!

[ passengers screaming ]

Scott Garrett

Put it down on the floor.

[ all screaming ]

Fox Mulder

Drop the bag! Drop the bag. Drop it! Hey, let it go! Let it go!

Scene 10

WASHINGTON NATIONAL AIRPORT · WASHINGTON, D.C.

Dana Scully

Mulder, where is he?

Fox Mulder

He's not here.

Dana Scully

What do you mean? You said you had him on this plane. You said you had what Max Fennig had. The stolen part.

Fox Mulder

What time do you have?

Walter Skinner

10:56. Would you like to tell me what's going on here, agent Mulder?

Dana Scully

I don't think you want to know the answer.

Walter Skinner

[ sighs ] is this man on the plane?

Fox Mulder

I think he got the connecting flight.

Max Fenig (recording)

But nobody ever finds out about it. There are scientists in Finland right now who say they have detected antigravity... Over the surface of a spinning superconducting disk. Technology that is supposedly 20 or 30 years down the road, like over-unity energy. Um, massless displacement current from cold fusion we need for space travel. I know, thanks to my inside sources, that this technology, in fact, exists. I've seen military aircraft that use it hovering right over my trailer. Why is the u.s. Government keeping all this a secret? I intend to expose these facts to the people. I mean, I'm just one man.

Scene 11

BARNES CORNERS, NEW YORK

Sharon Graffia

These tapes, you don't mind if I keep them?

Fox Mulder

No. I think you should consider yourself the sole curator... Of the Max Fennig rolling multimedia library and archive. You should probably get tax-exempt status as soon as you can. This stuff could be worth something someday.

Sharon Graffia

I wanna thank you for helping me out, for all you've done.

Dana Scully

Max would have wanted it that way. You lost somebody very close to you.

Sharon Graffia

So did you.

Fox Mulder

You thinking about pendrill?

Dana Scully

I realized I didn't even know his first name. I actually was thinking about, uh, this gift that you gave me for my birthday. You never got to tell me why you gave it to me or what it means. But I think I know. I think that you appreciated that there are extraordinary men and women... And extraordinary moments... When history leaps forward on the backs of these individuals. That what can be imagined can be achieved. That you must dare to dream. But that there's no substitute for perseverance and hard work... And teamwork. Because no one gets there alone. And that while we commemorate the-the greatness of these events... And the individuals who achieve them, we cannot forget the sacrifice of those... Who make these achievements and leaps possible.

Fox Mulder

I just thought it was a pretty cool key chain.
