Scene 02
LAURENTIAN MOUNTAINS
Cigarette-Smoking Man
Go on! Take your shot, Alex!
Alex Krycek
Right there! I was... Sent to bring you back.
Scene 03
X-FILES OFFICE, WASHINGTON, DC
Fox Mulder
You know you're going places in the bureau... When the assistant director tidies up your office. What's up?
Walter Skinner
I was just, uh, looking.
Fox Mulder
For anything special?
Walter Skinner
I came down to ask you something. I guess I was nosing around, wondering about you, your long-term plans.
Fox Mulder
My long-term plans? You got them right there in your hands.
Walter Skinner
What do you hope to find? I mean, in the end?
Fox Mulder
Whatever I hope to find is in here. Maybe I'll know it when I find it. Is that what you came to ask me?
Walter Skinner
No. There's a case. Nothing I'd send you normally. A murder. An assassination of a russian chess player. The shooter is former national security agency, one of ours. He's got a lot of people upset. This kid Jeffrey Spender-- special agent Spender-- he's been given the case. He's running it.
Fox Mulder
Did you give it to him?
Walter Skinner
No. It came as an order from somewhere outside the bureau. He's got his team assembled upstairs right now. He was very specific that you be excluded.
Scene 04
FBI BRIEFING ROOM
Jeffrey Spender
Using a weapon registered to a u.s. Intelligence agency, the shooter fired one kill shot at anatole klebanow... Before being captured, without incident, a short distance from the scene. No motive has been established, nor has the shooter offered up a statement or accomplice.
Fox Mulder
Please continue.
Jeffrey Spender
The trajectory of the kill shot suggests the shooter acted alone, but we cannot yet rule out an accomplice or conspiracy. A single bullet was fired from a catwalk at a steep angle, striking the target just right of the solar plexus.
Fox Mulder
I'm sorry. Can you rewind the tape? Please. I'll tell you where. Just take it back.
Jeffrey Spender
Let me get through this. If you have any questions, we can talk later.
Fox Mulder
I don't have any questions, no. I just think you're wrong.
Dana Scully
Mulder, what are you doing?
Fox Mulder
I don't think the russian was the target. I think it was his opponent.
Jeffrey Spender
His opponent, agent Mulder, is a 12-year-old boy.
Fox Mulder
And a good chess player. Let me show you his best move if you just take it back. Stop it there. Look what the kid does right here, right before the kill shot. Play. You see what he does? He just pushes back. You see that?
Jeffrey Spender
He just completed a checkmate. He's pushing back because the game's over.
Fox Mulder
You described a steep trajectory for the kill shot. If the kid doesn't push back at that precise moment, he catches the bullet in the back of the neck, not the russian.
Jeffrey Spender
Can we move on here?
Diana Fowley
I think agent Mulder is right. Looks like the boy sensed the shooter precognitively. If you rewind the tape, you'll see it.
Jeffrey Spender
There's no way. It's impossible.
Walter Skinner
Let's rewind the tape so we can all see for ourselves.
[ footsteps approaching ]
Scene 05
NIGHT
Cigarette-Smoking Man
You look surprised. Is it that I'm here, or that I'm alive?
First Elder
When we heard you'd been shot, we'd assumed the worst.
Second Elder
There were reports you lost too much blood to have survived.
Cigarette-Smoking Man
Obviously you underestimated me. More obviously, you overestimated the man you sent to do the job. Well, let's say all is forgiven. Now you have a job for me.
Wmm
There's been an incident, an unfortunate mistake.
Cigarette-Smoking Man
Yes, I've seen. I've heard. I've read.
Third Elder
The boy is a problem to us.
Cigarette-Smoking Man
What would you like me to do? Shoot him dead? Splatter his brains?
Wmm
Dear god!
Cigarette-Smoking Man
What's the matter? Does this sort of business offend you?
First Elder
It's in your interest, as in ours.
Cigarette-Smoking Man
You think you know my interest?
First Elder
Can we count on you?
Cigarette-Smoking Man
Yes.
Scene 06
Scene 06
Dana Scully
How long have you been with the bureau, agent Fowley?
Diana Fowley
Since '91. I took an assignment in europe after the wall came down, when the director stepped up foreign terrorism concerns.
Dana Scully
And they brought you on this because of a terrorism angle?
Diana Fowley
No, I requested a reassignment. There were things at home I decided I wanted to get back to.
Dana Scully
1991? That's about when you started work on the X-Files.
Fox Mulder
More or less, yeah.
Scene 07
INGET MURRAY
Homer Simpson
Uh, I'd better just put it down.
Lisa Simpson
No offense, mom, but that was pretty cool.
Marge Simpson
Homer, I think you'd agree--
Fox Mulder
Gibson? Hi. My name is Fox. This is Dana and Diana. How are you doin'?
Gibson Praise
I don't mind it here. They get all the good TV shows. Where I live in the philippines, all we get is baywatch.
Fox Mulder
What's wrong with baywatch?
Gibson Praise
You've got a dirty mind.
Dana Scully
Your parents are going to pick you up on friday, Gibson, to take you back home.
Gibson Praise
I don't want to play any chess.
Fox Mulder
How do you know I want to?
Gibson Praise
'cause you got that cheap old chess computer in your hand.
Fox Mulder
It's not so cheap. Don't you want to see how fast you can beat it?
Gibson Praise
No.
Fox Mulder
Maybe because you can't. I'm right, aren't I? You know what I'm talking about. You knew the moment I came in. That's how you win, isn't it? How you know what your opponent's going to do? You get inside his head. You read his thoughts. That's how you knew that man was going to shoot you, isn't it?
Gibson Praise
I know what's on your mind. I know you're thinking about one of the girls you brought.
Fox Mulder
Oh?
Gibson Praise
And one of them is thinking about you.
Diana Fowley
Which one?
Gibson Praise
He doesn't want me to say.
[ chuckles ]
Fox Mulder
This kid is going to need round-the-clock protection.
Dana Scully
Mulder? What was that all about?
Fox Mulder
The kid's no chess master. Under controlled conditions, I could probably beat him.
Dana Scully
He's recognized internationally as a prodigy. He's beaten grand masters.
Fox Mulder
With the most unfair advantage. What he's doing amounts to a kind of parlor magic trick.
Dana Scully
He was goofing on you. He was playing along. What you're positing is that this kid can read minds.
Fox Mulder
We've seen a number of these cases before.
Dana Scully
We have seen cases of fakers and lucky guessers, but no one that has ever been able to stand up to any rigorous testing... And no one who has gone so far as to claim that they can zero in... On the mind of one person in a crowd of thousands.
Fox Mulder
Maybe that's why they want him dead.
Dana Scully
Who are you talking about?
Fox Mulder
I don't know. I'm not the mind reader.
Dana Scully
Say that what you're suggesting were even possible, who would want to kill a kid whose abilities would offer you the ultimate advantage? I mean, in business, in war, in anything.
Diana Fowley
Maybe somebody whose business is in keeping secrets.
Fox Mulder
Well, let's test him. I think the kid will stand up. Let's run a brain scan and a psych evaluation on him. You know what to do, Diana.
Dana Scully
So you two know each other?
Diana Fowley
It was a long time ago.
Scene 08
FEDERAL DETENTION CENTER
Jeffrey Spender
What are you doing here?
Fox Mulder
I want to talk to the shooter.
Jeffrey Spender
I've just spent the last six hours talking with him. He's not been what I would call forthcoming.
Fox Mulder
Let me see what I can do. I'd
Jeffrey Spender
Prefer you stay out of there. In fact, I'd prefer you stay out of this thing altogether.
Fox Mulder
When I First met you, I figured you were just ambitious. This morning my opinion changed, and I thought you were arrogant. Now I'm beginning to wonder what you're protecting.
Jeffrey Spender
I'm trying to run this thing right, not like some ridiculous paranormal free-for-all.
Fox Mulder
You're insulting me when you should be taking notes. Somehow you got the big assignment, but just because you're wearing the suit doesn't mean it fits. You're lucky you're not busy defusing an international incident, kissing some serious russian ass... And sending a whole lot of agents barking down a whole lot of bad leads. Now, the kid is the key to this, and the shooter knows why. Excuse me. What does it take to kill a kid? Money or just evil stupidity?
Gunman
I didn't kill a kid.
Fox Mulder
No, thanks to the kid.
Gunman
You want to talk about heartlessness? Your squeaky friend there... Hasn't given me any food or water for what, like 16 hours?
Fox Mulder
I won't tolerate that. Spender, you got to get this guy some food. Come on.
Gunman
I've got nothing to say.
Fox Mulder
I read your bio. You've been trained, special forces. You were in grenada, zaire. You were inside saddam's palace with a hit squad when they started raining bombs over it. Yet you failed to kill him as well.
Gunman
Like I said--
Fox Mulder
I know. You got nothing to say. That's okay. I'm a pretty good guesser. The kid reads minds. How's that? Why don't I tell them you told me that, and then let's see how safe and snug you feel in here?
Gunman
What can you do for me?
Fox Mulder
I don't know. I might be able to get you immunity... Or get you into the witness protection program.
Gunman
Never happen.
Fox Mulder
Think about it.
Jeffrey Spender
What'd you get? Did you get anything?
Fox Mulder
Just his attention.
Scene 09
INGET MURRAY PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL
Dana Scully
How are you doing?
Gibson Praise
I didn't like those tests. I didn't like being in the machine.
Dana Scully
Little scary, aren't they?
Gibson Praise
You're wondering, aren't you?
Dana Scully
About what? About you?
Gibson Praise
About that other girl. She's wondering about you too.
Doctor 1
We're going to show you a group of cards. As we look at them, we want you to tell us what we're thinking. Now, take as much time as you need.
Gibson Praise
Chair. Piano. Piece of pie. Lightbulb. Smiley face. Statue. Cat.
Dana Scully
It's amazing. It's hard to believe.
Diana Fowley
I've witnessed clairvoyants who were over 90% accurate... And seen telepathy being demonstrated, but I don't know I've ever witnessed anything quite like this.
Dana Scully
Where'd you see that?
Diana Fowley
Agent Mulder and I spent some time in psychiatric hospitals. There were some patients serving criminal sentences we felt had been misdiagnosed.
Gibson Praise
Omelette. Coffee and a cruller. A nonfat latte. An english muffin. Grand slam number two with double hash brown and a side of canadian bacon.
Doctor 1
He just told us all what we ate for breakfast.
Dana Scully
I have to disappear for a bit.
Scene 10
Scene 10
Guard
I was handed a note. Now I'm handing it to you.
[ buzzer buzzing ]
Melvin Frohike
Okay, hang on. I'm coming!
Dana Scully
Somebody gonna let me in?
Melvin Frohike
Hey, yeah, yeah. Comin', comin'.
Scene 11
Scene 11
Melvin Frohike
Sorry. You caught me gettin' ready for bed. Come in. Come in.
Dana Scully
Thank you.
Melvin Frohike
To what do we owe the pleasure of this late night hour?
Dana Scully
I need your help.
Richard Langly
With what?
Dana Scully
You've all heard of Gibson Praise, the chess wunderkind? These are a series of scans and neuro-electrical outputs... Of his brain and brain processes. There seems to be some suspicion that he's a fraud.
John Fitzgerald Byers
Dorf on chess?
Dana Scully
Apparently he wins by reading his opponents' minds.
Melvin Frohike
I love that.
Richard Langly
And you want us to what?
Dana Scully
Analyze the data... With an eye to the parapsychological.
Melvin Frohike
Ooh, walk on the wild side.
Dana Scully
First, I want you guys to tell me who Diana Fowley is.
John Fitzgerald Byers
Diana Fowley? Jeez, we haven't heard that name in a while.
Dana Scully
Then you know her?
John Fitzgerald Byers
Well, yeah.
Melvin Frohike
She was Mulder's chickadee when he just got out of the academy. Good-lookin'.
Dana Scully
She claims to have worked closely with him for a while.
Richard Langly
She was there when he discovered the X-Files. She has some kind of background in parascience.
John Fitzgerald Byers
She got a legat appointment a while back in berlin. I always wondered why they split up.
Dana Scully
Well-- why don't you boys see what you can find?
Scene 12
Scene 12
Silver Surfer
I must make my stand.
Galactus
Your stand will destroy you.
Silver Surfer
Better to perish for what I believe in... Than endure forever as a traitor to life.
Galactus
Then so be it.
Fox Mulder
How's little carnac doin'?
Diana Fowley
Put a TV in front of him, he turns right into a normal kid. But he's the real deal, Fox. We tested him with zener cards, random numbers, a variety of e.s.p. Tasking. He's got ability to not just focus on a thought, but a multitude of thoughts at once.
Fox Mulder
And women who think-- there's something else. There's something we're missing here.
Diana Fowley
That was a good catch on the videotape. I was impressed.
Fox Mulder
You would have caught it eventually.
Diana Fowley
No, I've been too many years... Trying to get inside the head of too many arab terrorists. I'm out of practice with this stuff. But you seem at the top of your game.
Fox Mulder
It's all I do. It's all I've been doing for the last five years. It's... Been my life, such as it is.
Diana Fowley
Sometimes I hear about you-- about the work you're doing-- and I think how it might have been if I'd stayed.
Fox Mulder
We'd all be blown up by some terrorist bomb, no doubt, huh?
Diana Fowley
I sense you could have used an ally though-- someone who thinks like you, with some background.
Fox Mulder
You mean Scully?
Diana Fowley
She's not what I'd call an open mind on the subject.
Fox Mulder
No. She's a scientist. She makes me work for everything.
Diana Fowley
Yes, but I'm sure there were times... When two like minds on a case would have been advantageous.
Fox Mulder
I've done okay without you.
Diana Fowley
Hey. I'm on your side.
[ phone beeps, line ringing ]
Fox Mulder
Mulder.
Dana Scully
Mulder, it's me.
Fox Mulder
Where are you?
Dana Scully
I'm, uh-- I'm on my way to work. I was hoping I could show you something, something about the boy.
Fox Mulder
I'm at the psych facility with him right now. Why don't you come by and show me?
Dana Scully
I'd prefer to show you at work, if that's okay.
Fox Mulder
Okay. What is it?
Dana Scully
I think you'll be surprised. Very surprised.
Fox Mulder
I'm on my way. [ phone beeps ]
[ sighs ]
[ keys jingle ] [ engine starts ]
[ alarm chirps ]
Cigarette-Smoking Man
Agent Spender. I need to speak with you.
Jeffrey Spender
Who are you?
Cigarette-Smoking Man
Somebody who's taken an interest in you-- in this case of yours-- this case I gave you.
Jeffrey Spender
What are you? C.I.a.? NSA?
Cigarette-Smoking Man
You're a brave boy.
Jeffrey Spender
You said you had information.
Cigarette-Smoking Man
Control the board. Know which men to sacrifice and when.
Jeffrey Spender
I don't know what you're talking about.
Cigarette-Smoking Man
Don't become part of someone else's cause or crusade. Pursue your own self-interest. Always.
[ door opens ]
[ indistinct ]
Fox Mulder
Agent Spender? Agent Spender! Who were you talking to?
Jeffrey Spender
I don't know.
Fox Mulder
You don't know who you were talking to? You're lying!
Jeffrey Spender
What's your deal?
Fox Mulder
I was told he was dead.
Jeffrey Spender
Obviously, whoever it is, he's not.
Scene 13
Scene 13
Walter Skinner
You're here to tell me a story.
Fox Mulder
Tell him exactly as you told me.
Dana Scully
I've conducted some tests on Gibson Praise... And have come up with some rather unexpected conclusions-- ones which I myself have difficulty reconciling with what I know.
Walter Skinner
These are?
Dana Scully
Neurological tests. Mapping of brain functions, using a very high resolution e.e.g.
Walter Skinner
What did you find out?
Dana Scully
The tests revealed... Something peculiar in an area of the brain that we are only beginning to understand-- an area of the temporal lobe that neuro-physicists are calling the "god module."
Walter Skinner
I hope I'm not going to hear... That this kid is the next christ child.
Dana Scully
All of the boy's brain processes are showing... Extraordinary activity in exactly this part of the brain, which is not just abnormal or anomalous, but from what I know, absolutely unheard of.
Fox Mulder
There are corollaries-- individuals who have been responsible... For great leaps forward in understanding in science-- newton, galileo, Einstein, stephen hawking. All these men exhibited modes of thinking... That are suggestive of access to special brain centers.
Walter Skinner
All right, so this kid is a human oddity. Would somebody tell me why anyone would go to such great lengths to kill him?
Fox Mulder
This kid may be the key, not just to all human potential, but to all spiritual unexplained paranormal phenomena-- the key to everything in the X-Files.
Jeffrey Spender
Let me get this right. We're supposed to believe... That this boy was going to be killed... Because of the X-Files?
Fox Mulder
No, it's bigger than that.
Jeffrey Spender
Uh-huh. Explain it to me-- to us.
Fox Mulder
I can't. But the shooter can-- the assassin that you have locked up-- in exchange for immunity from prosecution.
Jeffrey Spender
You want to give a murderer a free ride for the secrets to the pyramids? This is crazy. It's nuts!
Dana Scully
You mischaracterized what I've said. This would be quantifiable... Scientific proof of everything that agent Mulder and I... Have investigated over the past five years.
Diana Fowley
How do you quantify the spiritual? It can't be done. You ask for immunity for a killer on that basis, the attorney general's going to go off. You're allowed to investigate the X-Files as an indulgence. But draw the wrong kind of attention, and they'll close you down-- put an end to all your work-- something I happen to have an interest in myself.
Walter Skinner
Let's everyone step out in the hall. Agent Mulder, you stay put.
[ door closes ]
Walter Skinner
[ sighs ] she's right, you know? The risks you're taking-- the long-term plans you and I talked about--
Fox Mulder
If what agent Scully's found is true, and I have every reason to believe that it is, then the answers I might have spent a lifetime searching for... May fall together like a million puzzle pieces.
Walter Skinner
You'd risk the X-Files?
Fox Mulder
How soon can you call the attorney general?
Scene 14
Scene 14
Fox Mulder
The attorney general's heard my request for immunity.
Gunman
Heard it? You-- wait, wait, wait, wait. You said that you could get it.
Fox Mulder
She needs something more-- something to convince her that you're not just playing games-- something that I can corroborate. I need answers from you.
Gunman
The kid is a missing link.
Fox Mulder
To what? He's genetic proof, isn't he?
Jeffrey Spender
Genetic proof of what? Genetic proof of what?
Fox Mulder
The kid's not superhuman. He's just more human than human.
Jeffrey Spender
He's what?
Fox Mulder
Most of us have genes we don't use. They lie there dormant, turned off. Science doesn't know what they're for, why they're there or where they came from.
Jeffrey Spender
Right, and you think this has something to do with god?
Fox Mulder
There's a long-held but unpopular theory... Tied to prehistoric evidence of alien astronauts.
Jeffrey Spender
You're not gonna go out there and say the kid's part alien? You think that's what you heard? You led him, agent Mulder! Now you're letting yourself be led!
Scene 15
Scene 15
Wmm
We entrusted you. You failed.
Cigarette-Smoking Man
Failed. Failed who?
Wmm
Mulder has gone to the justice department. He has testimony about the boy.
Cigarette-Smoking Man
That's just part of the game.
Wmm
It's not a game, for god's sake!
Cigarette-Smoking Man
Sure it is. It's all a game. You just take their pieces one by one until the board is cleared.
Scene 16
CENTERVILLE, VIRGINIA
Cotton
[ gasps ] hey, missy! How about some sandwiches?
[ both laughing ]
Peg
I hope you're all hungry.
Hank
Good-lookin' breakfast, Peg.
Cotton
Yeah, I see bacon. I see ham.
Dana Scully
Gibson?
Gibson Praise
This is a great show. I wish we got this where I live.
Dana Scully
I'd like to ask you something. How do you do it?
Gibson Praise
I just hear you thinking, like on a radio. Sometimes there are lots of radios, and I want to shut them off and watch some TV.
Dana Scully
Is that why you like chess, 'cause it's just one thought that you hear?
Gibson Praise
Yeah, but that's not why I like it all the time.
Dana Scully
Why else do you like it?
Gibson Praise
Because there's no talking, just thinking. It's nothing like real life where people think one thing but they say something else.
Dana Scully
Is that what people do?
Gibson Praise
They're worried about what other people are thinking... When the people they're worrying about are worried about the same thing. Makes me laugh.
Dana Scully
Why?
Gibson Praise
They make up all this stuff to believe, but it's all made up. Some people try to be good people, but some people just don't care. Like you.
Dana Scully
You think I don't care?
Gibson Praise
No, you don't care what people think. Except for her, the other one.
[ knocking ]
Diana Fowley
I'm here to relieve you.
Dana Scully
Well, we'll talk about this later, okay?
Gibson Praise
They want to kill me, you know?
Dana Scully
Nobody's gonna do anything to you, Gibson. I promise.
Gibson Praise
I know you do.

What are you doing?
Gibson Praise
There's a man with a gun.
Diana Fowley
Gibson, get down. Get back. Get back.
Gibson Praise
He didn't come here to kill me. He's aiming at you.
Diana Fowley
What--
Scene 19
Scene 19
Walter Skinner
Agent Mulder, Scully. They killed a u.s. Marshal and then shot agent Fowley. They worked on her here for an hour. They couldn't get a chopper in, so they're in radio communication with the hospital. She's got weak vitals and a hole in one of her lungs, so they're not optimistic.
Dana Scully
What about the boy? Is he here?
Fox Mulder
Where's Spender?
Walter Skinner
He's gone to federal detention. We found the shooter shot dead in his cell early this morning. We also found this.

Wmm
Hello, young man.
Gibson Praise
Hello.
Wmm
There's nothing to be afraid of.
Gibson Praise
You're a liar. Just like him.
Cigarette-Smoking Man
You've never had the stomach for our business.
Wmm
Just not for your practices.
Cigarette-Smoking Man
I'm a necessity, the complement to your cowardice.
Wmm
Your work is done now.
Cigarette-Smoking Man
My work is just beginning.
Alex Krycek
I got a nice straight shot.
Wmm
No. He's useful, and you may need him in the future.

Jeffrey Spender
Secure the airports and notify the parents that the boy's missing.
Fox Mulder
Who do you work for? Tell me. Agent Mulder! You work for him? You and old smokey? Is that who put this together? You're goin' down for this! I'm gonna see you prosecuted for murder! Watch me! Watch it happen! Your days are numbered.
Jeffrey Spender
You're wrong, agent Mulder. It's your days that are numbered.
Scene 22
Scene 22
Dana Scully
We knew there were risks going to the attorney general.
Walter Skinner
You know what's coming down here.
Dana Scully
Yes, sir.
Walter Skinner
They're serious about this.
Dana Scully
I understand.
Walter Skinner
I assume you'll make agent Mulder aware of this.
Dana Scully
Yes, I'm here with him now.
Walter Skinner
I'm making a case his personal involvement clouded his judgment, but I don't know the attorney general's listening.
Dana Scully
I'll communicate that to him. Is there anything else? Any other news?
Walter Skinner
You should know agent Spender's going after Mulder full bore. He's been reciting some line about alien astronauts that makes you both look really bad.
Dana Scully
Right. Well, I'll be here if you need to reach me.
Fox Mulder
Any news on Diana?
[ sighs ]
Dana Scully
They have her on maximum pressers, but she's barely maintaining her pressure.
Fox Mulder
What did Skinner have to say?
Dana Scully
There are talks going on right now about reassignment.
Fox Mulder
For who?
Dana Scully
Both of us. These talks included instructions... From the justice department to close down the X-Files.
Fox Mulder
This was all strategized, every move. I just couldn't see it. It was all of a plan.
Dana Scully
Mulder, whatever you may believe, this time they may have won.

Can I help you?
Cigarette-Smoking Man
Actually, uh, I can help you.
Jeffrey Spender
How did you get in here?
Cigarette-Smoking Man
Access, agent Spender. It's about access. It's what I can give you. It's what can make you. It's why I'm doing this for you.
Jeffrey Spender
Who are you?
Cigarette-Smoking Man
I'm your father.
