FLIGHT 549

Stewardess

Here you are, mr. Rebhun. Another scotch and soda.

[ chuckles ]

Larold Rebhun

The only way to fly. I used to be just like you. Used to hate flying. I mean, the moment I got on the plane, I'd be gripping those armrests like my teeth were being drilled. Truth is, statistically, you could fly every day... For the next 26,000 years before you'd have an accident. Do you believe that?

[ unbuckles seat belt ]

[ explosion ]

[ passengers chattering ]

Larold Rebhun

Ooh, baby! Settle down.

[ chattering continues ]

Pilot

What the hell is this?

Waiters

♪ happy birthday to you ♪♪

Fox Mulder

I didn't know it was your birthday, Scully.

[ cheering, whooping ]

Dana Scully

Mulder, you have never remembered my birthday... In the four years I've known you.

Fox Mulder

That's the way I like to celebrate 'em, is every four years. It's like dog years that way.

Dana Scully

Dog years? Thank you.

Fox Mulder

You're welcome. Oh, I got something for you.

Dana Scully

Oh, you've got to be kidding me.

Fox Mulder

It's just something that reminded me of you.

Dana Scully

What, an alien implant?

Fox Mulder

Two, actually. I made 'em into earrings.

Dana Scully

Mmm. "apollo 11."

Fox Mulder

Read the back.

Dana Scully

"commemorating apollo 11 and the mission to the moon. July, 1969."

Fox Mulder

I'm touched. It's, um--

Sharon Graffia

Excuse me. Are you Scully and Mulder?

Dana Scully

Oh, promise me this isn't leading to something really embarrassing.

Sharon Graffia

My name is Sharon Grafia. I'm sorry to approach you like this, but I followed you. I was asked to find you if something happened.

Dana Scully

Excuse me?

Sharon Graffia

You have no good reason to believe me, but my brother, who I believe you know, he said you'd understand what to do.

Fox Mulder

About what?

Sharon Graffia

If he didn't make it.

Dana Scully

Excuse me. Who are you talking about?

Sharon Graffia

Max. Max Fennig. He was on his way here to deliver something that made him fear for his life. Something he said the government would kill for. But his plane, it went down two hours ago.

Scene 03

NORTHVILLE, NEW YORK · 4:02 A.M.

Mike Millar

What we know right now is that the plane designated as flight 549... Lost radio contact tonight at 1900 hours edt, and subsequently crashed into a wooded area... Approximately 30 Miles from Albany, New York. Local law enforcement and emts have been on the scene... For just under two hours, but initial reports are they've found no survivors yet... Of the 134 passengers and crew listed on the manifest. I wish I could tell you that we had more information about the crash site, but darkness and the terrain are gonna make it pretty slow going until morning. We have a tape of the last radio exchange... Before 549 went down, which we're gonna play. But I want to stress the need to keep everything... You know or learn within the go team... So that all information to the press... Comes from the I.I.c. You cued up, John?

John

Ready.

Pilot

Copy, tower. Please advise. Do you see a need to adjust?

Tower

Negative, 549. Steady air speed of two-niner-six knots. Maintain heading one-zero-zero at two-niner thousand feet. Go ahead, 549.

[ beeping on tape ]

Pilot

What the hell is this?

Tower

549, do you read?

Pilot

We've got something-- some intercept. My God! My God! Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!

Mike Millar

And that's all she wrote. Controllers tried to raise 549 on all available frequencies, but the pilots did not respond. Okay, we've got an faa charter leaving in one hour. Accommodations--

Fox Mulder

Excuse me, sir. I'm agent Mulder with the FBI. Is there any indication or suspicion that flight 549 may have been forced down?

Mike Millar

Forced down?

Fox Mulder

You can hear the pilot say "intercept" on the recording.

Mike Millar

We have absolutely no data to support that. No confirmation of other aircraft in the area. Unless you have something.

Fox Mulder

No. No. But there was a passenger on that plane... Who was well-known to our government as an alien abductee.

[ murmuring ]

Mike Millar

An alien abductee?

Fox Mulder

A man named Max Fennig. A multiple-abduction victim. What's known as a repeater.

[ murmuring continues ]

Mike Millar

Hold on a second. Please. Can I have some quiet.

Fox Mulder

He predicted the accident. From the sound on the tape, the plane may have been forced down.

Mike Millar

Forced down by who, or what?

Fox Mulder

I'm hesitant to speculate.

Mike Millar

Mulder-- your name's Mulder?

Fox Mulder

Yes, sir.

Mike Millar

Let me tell you something. I've been doing this for 18 years. I thought I'd heard everything.

Man

I'm looking through the manifest here, and there was no one named Max fannig on flight 549.

Fox Mulder

Fennig. And there may be people who want to cover up this evidence.

Mike Millar

Agent Mulder, is this an official FBI position?

Fox Mulder

No, sir.

Mike Millar

Because what you're suggesting trivializes this tragedy... And casts these fine people and the work they have to do... In a light that I think you'd be well-advised to avoid.

Fox Mulder

I think we all share the same goal here, sir, and that's to find out what caused that plane to crash.

Mike Millar

And if any of the capable men and women in this room... Find dr. Spock's phaser or any green alien goo, [ murmuring, chuckling ] we'll be sure to give you all the credit.

[ chuckles ]

Mike Millar

All right then.

Dana Scully

You sure know how to make a girl feel special on her birthday.

[ indistinct radio chatter ]

[ indistinct chattering ]

Scene 04

FLIGHT 549 CRASH SITE · 5:52 A.M.

Dana Scully

Have you ever seen anything like this?

Fox Mulder

Where's the plane?

Dana Scully

They think it hit the ground at over 300 Miles an hour on an almost vertical descent. Meteorological data is being collected and analyzed, and so far they are attributing the crash to weather phenomena, to a rapid depressurization caused by a lightning strike... Or by something called a wind rotor coming off the adirondacks.

Fox Mulder

But not to Max Fennig.

Dana Scully

Mulder, even if he was on this flight, looking at this, he'd be in a hundred pieces. They're gonna be lucky if they can ID half the bodies they find here.

Fox Mulder

He was on this flight, Scully. I'm sure of that.

Dana Scully

Well, say we do find him. What's that gonna prove?

Fox Mulder

I don't know. Maybe that one man's life was worth sacrificing 133 others.

[ helicopter approaching ]

Fox Mulder

Is that a hand? Is that a watch?

Dana Scully

Yeah.

Fox Mulder

What does it read?

Dana Scully

8:01.

Fox Mulder

So does this one. What are they listing as the time of the crash?

Dana Scully

Uh, 7:52 p.m.

Fox Mulder

Just nine minutes' difference.

Dana Scully

It's gotta be a mistake.

Fox Mulder

Nine minutes, Scully. Do you remember the last time you were missing nine minutes?

Dana Scully

[ sighs ] Mulder, no one even reported the plane on radar. These guys are just going off of estimates until they can recover the data recorder.

Fox Mulder

Yeah. Something just occurred to me.

Dana Scully

What?

Fox Mulder

I don't think we're gonna find Max Fennig after all.

Dana Scully

Just a few minutes ago, you were absolutely certain he was on this flight.

Fox Mulder

Yeah, but I'm beginning to doubt whether he finished this flight with the rest of the passengers.

Man #1

[ man shouting ] hey! Get me a medic over here! This man's alive! This man's alive! Get me a medic over here! Somebody!

Man #2

Right here!

Man #3

Let's go, let's go!

Dana Scully

We need an airlift to a burn unit as soon as possible! This man needs oxygen and a saline I.v.! Sir, can you hear me? Sir?

Scene 05

FULTON COUNTY AIRPORT · 7:12 P.M.

Sharon Graffia

I've got what you asked for.

Dana Scully

All of those are from Max?

Sharon Graffia

Every letter he ever wrote me. You said to bring everything I had. I'm still not sure why.

Dana Scully

Sharon, we believe that there are things that you haven't told us. We need to know everything that you know.

Sharon Graffia

About what?

Dana Scully

About Max. About where he's been. About where he's traveled. About exactly what it was he was carrying on that flight.

Sharon Graffia

Did you find Max?

Dana Scully

No. But we found a passenger... With severe burns, severe cellular damage. Burns that we wouldn't see unless the victim was exposed to a high level of radiation.

Sharon Graffia

Something Max was carrying?

Dana Scully

We need to know what that was, Sharon. If you're withholding any information, there could be severe consequences.

Scene 06

HANGAR

Dana Scully

Mulder?

Fox Mulder

Man's name was larold Rebhun. The manifest has him listed in seat 13-d, which is the aisle seat right here. My guess is that Max Fennig was in 13-f, window seat. But the manifest has a passenger in that seat as a--

Dana Scully

Paul gidney. It's an alias Max Fennig used in his letters when he went underground. He had many aliases, in fact, one of which he used to get a job... At the rocky flats environmental energy site in colorado... Where they handle and store uranium 235 and weapons-grade plutonium.

Fox Mulder

Do you think Max was carrying plutonium?

Dana Scully

Mulder, the burns on that passenger's face were deep-tissue radiation burns. I don't know how else he might have gotten them.

Fox Mulder

What would Max be doing with that?

Dana Scully

I don't know. I mean, he wrote hundreds, maybe even a thousand letters describing his abductions, but beginning in january, he started making vague references to a theft. Now, it seems to me from reading it that he started to get the idea... That he'd come on to something that was very dangerous.

Fox Mulder

So what caused this crash?

Dana Scully

If he was carrying fissile plutonium, Mulder, and it became exposed in the cabin, it very conceivably could have caused the crash.

Fox Mulder

You want to know what I think, Scully?

[ instrument clicking ]

Fox Mulder

I'm gonna tell you. I think Max was abducted, sucked right out of this door at 29,000 feet, and the burns we're seeing are a result of that abduction.

Dana Scully

Mulder--

Fox Mulder

And all the evidence will point to this conclusion, but it will be dismissed because of its improbability, its unthinkability.

Dana Scully

Mulder--

Fox Mulder

The crash of flight 549 will go unsolved unless we prove it. When Max is returned, he's going to tell us the same story unless someone gets to him first.

Dana Scully

Mulder, Max is returned. I found out a few minutes ago. They found his body a short way from the wreckage earlier today.

Fox Mulder

You're positive of this?

Dana Scully

Traveling under the name paul gidney, seat 13-f, with the same burns as his seat mate.

Fox Mulder

There's still no explanation for this crash.

[ investigators chattering ]

[ rumbling ]

[ electrical crackling ]

[ gasping, whimpering ]

[ screaming ]

[ unzipping bag ]

[ sobbing ]

Scene 08

HANGAR

Mike Millar

But you guys are willing to make a determination as to whether there was an explosion.... Pre-impact or as we can see-- [ continues, indistinct ] but the data only points to an explosion... After the aircraft-- [ continues, indistinct ]

Dana Scully

Did you make a positive ID on Max Fennig? Well, they've located the cockpit voice recorder... And the flight data recorder.

Fox Mulder

And?

Dana Scully

And the I.I.c. Is making a statement to the press... Saying that there was a complete systems malfunction on the plane.

Fox Mulder

In other words, there's still no explanation for what brought this plane down.

Dana Scully

No, not yet, but they are taking a careful look at the emergency exit door. And while they cannot explain the radiation readings, they are not ready to attribute it as the direct cause.

Fox Mulder

They're not able to, or they're not willing to?

Dana Scully

Mulder, why can't you just accept the facts?

Fox Mulder

Because there are no facts. What they're telling you, what they're gonna report, they're the opposite of facts. A claim to ignorance of the facts. Claimed steadfastly, ignorance becomes as acceptable as the truth.

Dana Scully

What would you like them to report?

Fox Mulder

That there is not one wristwatch on any of those bagged bodies. The watches have been stolen.

Dana Scully

Are you accusing these men of covering evidence?

Fox Mulder

These men? No. These men are trained to identify moving parts-- hydraulics, electronics. They're trained to reconstruct those parts in the past and arrive at the present. But they can't do that because somebody has stolen the past from them. Nine minutes of it. Nine minutes that became a lifetime... For those passengers and now for their families. Someone has got to figure out what happened in those nine minutes. Somehow, we've got to get that back.

Scene 09

VON DREHLE AIR FORCE · RESERVE INSTALLATION · 9:37 A.M.

Fox Mulder

Louis Frish?

Louis Frish

Yes, sir. I just got the call from the c.o. Said you were coming out with some questions.

Fox Mulder

I'm agent Mulder. This is agent Scully.

Louis Frish

If you're here about the crash the other night, I already told the NTSB guys what I know.

Dana Scully

They were already out here?

Louis Frish

Yes, ma'am. Night of the crash.

Fox Mulder

Were you in the tower that night?

Louis Frish

Yes, sir. Me and sergeant Armando Gonzales.

Fox Mulder

Did flight 549 show up on your radar?

Louis Frish

Yes, sir, it did.

Fox Mulder

Did you establish radio contact with them?

Louis Frish

No, sir. We would have no reason to contact a civilian airliner... Unless it crossed into military airspace.

Fox Mulder

Would there be a record of 549 on your log?

Louis Frish

Yes, sir. I know it by heart. At 19:52, flight 549 dropped from an altitude of 29,000 feet. About 45 seconds later, we got an altitude reading of triple-x. I've never seen anything like it. Hope to never again.

Dana Scully

Then what did you do?

Louis Frish

We called 549 and got no response. Then we called a.t.c. In Albany.

Fox Mulder

And what was their response?

Louis Frish

We just gave them the information, last we'd heard. Is there something else you're looking for?

Fox Mulder

About nine minutes.

Dana Scully

We've been traveling a long way.

Fox Mulder

Wasn't the initial report that there was no radar confirmation of the crash?

Dana Scully

Yeah. That must have come after our briefing.

Armando Gonzales

What did you tell them?

Louis Frish

What I was supposed to say.

Armando Gonzales

Somebody's gonna figure out what's going on.

Louis Frish

I don't ask. I don't know. I don't want to know.

Armando Gonzales

If they find out the truth, do you think anybody's gonna take the heat for us?

Louis Frish

[ sighs ] I'm not the only liar here.

Armando Gonzales

If they come back here to talk to me, I'm tellin' the truth. I'm not gonna have no blood on me.

Louis Frish

Then you make me the liar.

Police Officer

Roger.

[ police radio, indistinct ]

Scene 10

NORTHVILLE, NEW YORK · 2:32 P.M.

Motel Manager

I don't want any trouble. Did they find her?

Police Officer

No, ma'am.

Motel Manager

We need some answers. The place is a mess. We'll do our best, ma'am. Hey, you're gonna have to take care of this. You're gonna have to pay.

Dana Scully

Excuse me?

Motel Manager

The room you rented for the woman? Well, she trashed it and split.

Fox Mulder

Sharon Grafia?

Motel Manager

It was under your name.

Fox Mulder

Yeah.

Motel Manager

Look at this! And I don't know what kind of game she was playin' in here. She blew the door right out of the jamb. [ sighs ] I doubt insurance will cover it.

Fox Mulder

Does your policy cover the acts of extraterrestrials?

Dana Scully

We'll take care of it. Great.

Fox Mulder

Okay, Scully, hit me with your best shot. What do you think happened here?

Dana Scully

I haven't a clue.

Fox Mulder

It looks an awful lot to me like this place fell from 29,000 feet.

Dana Scully

You think Max's sister--

Fox Mulder

Was abducted, just like Max. Maybe it runs in the family.

Mike Millar

What happened here?

Fox Mulder

You're the experts. Why don't you bring your team down here and work it out?

Mike Millar

They've got their hands full.

Fox Mulder

Yeah, coming up with all that inconclusive evidence.

Mike Millar

I've come to tell you we've found some evidence. Good evidence.

Dana Scully

About what caused the crash?

Mike Millar

Possibly. But I'm not ready to make an announcement.

Fox Mulder

Why not?

Mike Millar

I'm afraid I'd sound as crazy as you. Is there someplace I can show you these? Someplace with a door? These lines you see here running outward from center-- those are what we call fatigue cracks, caused by cyclic stress on the fuselage.

Dana Scully

From what?

Mike Millar

Wear and tear. Most commercial planes have an average 20, 30,000 hours flight time. Except 549 was a new plane. 549 had no wear and tear.

Fox Mulder

Then what caused that?

Mike Millar

I can't tell you that. But I can tell you this. The way all these cracks radiate from a central point... Looks like the door's been shaken and blown outward, straight off its frame. If it hadn't been for you, we wouldn't have known what to look for.

Dana Scully

Sounds like what you're describing is physically impossible.

Mike Millar

In normal operation, it could never happen. Not this way.

Fox Mulder

But it did.

[ indistinct radio chatter ]

Scene 11

VON DREHLE AIR FORCE · RESERVE INSTALLATION

Louis Frish

Hey, man, how ya doin'? Sorry about before. It's, uh-- I was way out of line. I just-- [ sighs ] I've just been letting this thing get to me, I guess. Hey, Gonzales?

Scott Garrett

Did you find him, sergeant?

Soldier

He's not up there.

Tower

Thirty five thousand feet. It's negligible. Nothing to be concerned about.

Pilot

Copy, tower. Please advise. Do you see a need to adjust?

Tower

Negative, 549. Steady air speed at two-niner-six knots. Maintain heading one-zero-zero at two-niner thousand feet. Go ahead, 549.

Pilot

What the hell is this?

Tower

549, do you read?

Pilot

We got something-- some intercept. My God! My God! Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!

[ line ringing ]

Dana Scully

Scully.

Fox Mulder

Scully, it's me. I just realized something. The voice of the air traffic controller-- I've heard it before.

Dana Scully

We've been up for 36 hours. Can it wait till morning?

Fox Mulder

No, I know, I know. I just need you to come over here and listen to this right now, okay?

Dana Scully

I'm on my way.

Louis Frish

[ gasps ] don't scream. Just listen to me. Listen to me. I'm the man responsible. I'm the one that caused that plane crash.

[ investigators chattering ]

Scene 12

8:21 P.M.

Mike Millar

Uh, give me a second. You said you had someone who had some information?

Dana Scully

This is louis Frish. Sergeant Frish. He's the air traffic controller you heard on the recording... That you played for us the other night.

Mike Millar

That was from Albany control center. It was the voice of a civilian air traffic controller.

Louis Frish

No, sir.

Fox Mulder

There seems to be more than a little discrepancy. What you've been told, what you've been led to believe... Was built upon a lie that sergeant Frish was asked to perpetuate. Along with sergeant Gonzales, who is now dead.

Louis Frish

I was asked to lie. I was ordered to lie about what happened to flight 549.

Mike Millar

By whom?

Louis Frish

My c.o. Flight 549 appeared on my radar at 1900 hours... When we were asked to give its coordinates at 15-second intervals. About two minutes past 30 degrees north, we saw a second aircraft enter 549's airspace in an intercept pattern. It shadowed 549 for another ten minutes... Before we were asked to give a new set of coordinates. A few seconds later, there was an explosion, and 549 disappeared from my radar screen.

Mike Millar

I don't believe this man. There's not one speck of forensic detail to support it. No sign of an explosion, no flashing, no residues, no oxidation, nothing.

Louis Frish

I'm telling you what I saw. We shot down a civilian jet, knowingly and willingly.

Mike Millar

I'm gonna tell you two something. I have a responsibility to the truth here.

Fox Mulder

So do we.

Mike Millar

This man can't testify to this story, not without evidence.

Fox Mulder

The military's working to cover up that evidence.

Mike Millar

The story makes no sense.

Fox Mulder

Unless the aircraft that was fired on never appeared on his radar screen-- a third, unidentified aircraft then engaged the civilian jet, which the sergeant never saw.

Mike Millar

A stealth aircraft?

Fox Mulder

Shot down by the intercept aircraft, which in turn may have caused the crash of flight 549, which means that the cause of this crash is not here... But is out there somewhere at a second crash site.

Dana Scully

Somebody would've spotted it.

Fox Mulder

No, they didn't know about a second aircraft. Except the military. Which means that this man's life is in danger... Because he can put the pieces together.

Dana Scully

Then somebody has to get him someplace safe.

Mike Millar

If there's a second crash site, let's find it.

Dana Scully

Mulder.

Fox Mulder

Hold on.

Dana Scully

Mulder?

Fox Mulder

Louis, help me out.

Louis Frish

Don't take your foot off the gas.

Fox Mulder

Is he gonna see us?

Louis Frish

No. We gotta get under him.

Fox Mulder

We're not gonna make it.

[ rumbling ]

Scene 13

FLIGHT 549 CRASH SITE · 10:14 P.M.

[ sobbing ]

Sharon Graffia

Somebody help me! Please!

Mike Millar

Who's there?

[ sobbing continues ]

Sharon Graffia

Oh, don't-- don't let them take me again!

Fox Mulder

Louis! Louis! I want to ask you something. This is where flight 549 went down. As far as you know, there's been no substantiation of a second crash site?

Louis Frish

Right.

Fox Mulder

What if that's because there is no second crash site? Because that second aircraft never fell to the ground. It came down somewhere around here.

Dana Scully

In great Sacandaga lake?

Fox Mulder

Yeah.

Louis Frish

Traveling north to south, 15 degrees. It's a shallow intercept. Yeah, that's very possible.

Fox Mulder

Possible? Are you okay taking sergeant Frish back to D.C.?

Dana Scully

By myself?

Fox Mulder

Yeah.

Dana Scully

You just let me know what's going on, Mulder.

Fox Mulder

As soon as I know. I saw the sign. Are you Bearfeld?

Bruce Bearfeld

Yeah.

Fox Mulder

I stopped by your place. Nobody was home.

Bruce Bearfeld

Who are you?

Fox Mulder

Fox Mulder. I'm with the FBI.

Bruce Bearfeld

You got anything to do with what's going on out there?

Fox Mulder

What's going on out there?

Bruce Bearfeld

Some kind of search-and-rescue operation... Or some damn thing. I don't know.

Fox Mulder

Where?

Bruce Bearfeld

Out over at democrat point. Some kind of hovering lights, just there and then gone.

Fox Mulder

Can you show me? No, no, no. I need you to take me there.

Scene 14

SCULLY'S HOUSE · WASHINGTON, D.C.

Dana Scully

I'm just gonna get some things.

Louis Frish

Where then?

Dana Scully

[ sighs ] I'm gonna ask for some kind of protective arrangement. I need to talk to my agent in charge to get a feel for how to go on this, but, uh, I think it's pretty clear you're gonna want to talk to the right people.

Louis Frish

Do you think I'll be prosecuted?

Dana Scully

For what?

Louis Frish

I gave the coordinates.

Dana Scully

You didn't bring that plane down, louis.

Louis Frish

I lied. I misled a federal investigator. I misled you. A hundred and thirty-four people, sergeant Gonzales-- they're all dead.

Dana Scully

It wasn't your fault.

Louis Frish

But I'm gonna have to live with it. I watched that plane fall out of the sky. It was just a dot on the screen, just a set of numbers. But that wreckage-- I can't get that out of my mind. How those people died. How easy it is to lie. Just to say it was a dot on the screen. Until you see it.

Dana Scully

Look, I can't tell you how to feel, louis. But I can tell you that I will do everything I can... To make sure you tell your story to somebody who will do the right thing.

Louis Frish

Yeah. Thank you. Do you think it's safe to make a phone call? I'd like to tell my girlfriend that I'm... Whatever.

Dana Scully

Yeah. Um, just tell her you're okay.

Fox Mulder

Over there. How deep is it here?

Bruce Bearfeld

Fifty. Sixty, maybe. Have you worked at this depth before?

Fox Mulder

Not exactly.

Bruce Bearfeld

What exactly is your experience?

Fox Mulder

Once I, uh, I got a quarter off of the deep end at the "y" pool.

Scene 15

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

Bartender

Last call, folks. Cocktail?

Dana Scully

No. No, thanks.

[ chattering ]

Dana Scully

We're being met here by a federal marshal. You're probably gonna end up sleepin' in somebody's office. You want a drink? You need a drink.

Louis Frish

Yes.

Bartender

There you are.

Dana Scully

Yeah. Thank you.

Agent Pendrell

Hey! Birthday girl!

Dana Scully

Agent pendrill. How are you doing?

Agent Pendrell

I have something for you. Where have you been?

Dana Scully

I've been, uh, gone.

Agent Pendrell

Oh. Uh, can I buy you a drink?

Dana Scully

No, you know, it's okay. I've, uh-- I'm with somebody.

Agent Pendrell

Oh.

[ chuckles ]

Agent Pendrell

Let me buy him a drink too.

Dana Scully

No. You know what? It's okay.

Agent Pendrell

No, no. I insist. Bartender? Bartender?

Bartender

Yeah?

Agent Pendrell

Set me up with a couple of birthday girl drinks here. Can I have a couple of your finest--

[ chattering continues ]

Dana Scully

Get down!

[ grunts ]

[ screaming, shouting ]

[ gasping ]

Dana Scully

You've gotta keep breathing, pendrill. Do you hear me?

[ indistinct screeching ]
