I have alpha heading south.

Walter Skinner

One, follow suspect.

Undercover Agent Reading Paper

Beta, contact made.

Men (surveillance recording)

[ voice, filtered ] sorry I'm late. It's okay.

Walter Skinner

All right, hold your positions. Everybody stand by.

Dana Scully

What's he looking at?

Walter Skinner

Two, pick it up.

[ continues panting ]

Dana Scully

Mulder, he's watching you.

Jacob Haley

All right?

Tech 2

He's reaching for something.

Jacob Haley

Here's what you were waiting for.

Walter Skinner

One, zoom in. Okay, slowly. [ alpha continues talking ] slowly. Wait for it. Wait, wait, wait for it. Okay.

Jacob Haley

[ groaning ] what? What? What? What happened?

[ continues groaning ]

Dana Scully

What just happened?

Walter Skinner

I don't know what the hell happened.

Jacob Haley

Anybody! A doctor! I need a doctor over here! My friend's sick here. I don't know what's goin'-- oh, god. He just-- he just fell-- oh, man. Is he okay?

Walter Skinner

What the hell's going on?

Dana Scully

[ Scully ] I can't see anything.

Tech 2

Beta target down.

Tech 3

We lost alpha.

Walter Skinner

Go! Go! Go!

Dana Scully

There. He's heading west. He's on the move!

Fox Mulder

[ Mulder ] I'm on him.

Walter Skinner

Maintain your position on the downed beta. Find the alpha on three.

Agent Reading Paper

Federal Agent. Step aside. Oh, my god!

Walter Skinner

What is it?

Agent Reading Paper

What the hell did he do to him?

Dana Scully

What? What are you seeing?

Walter Skinner

Come on, talk to me. Talk to me!

Agent Reading Paper

It's eating away his flesh.

Dana Scully

What?

Walter Skinner

Haley must be carrying something lethal. We need a doctor!

Dana Scully

Where's Mulder?

Walter Skinner

Mulder was on him. There's no way he couldn't catch him.

Dana Scully

Mulder, respond!

Walter Skinner

Can you find him? Zoom in.

Dana Scully

I can't see anything. Mulder, suspect is armed and dangerous. Pursue alpha with extreme caution. Mulder! Damn it.

Walter Skinner

Agent Scully!

Fox Mulder

Scully!

Dana Scully

What happened?

Fox Mulder

I lost him.

Dana Scully

What do you mean?

Fox Mulder

He got away.

Scene 02

Scene 02

Dana Scully

I came in early. I wanted to take a look at the surveillance tape to make sure I wasn't crazy.

[ sighs ]

Dana Scully

What happened out there, Mulder?

Fox Mulder

"what happened"?

Dana Scully

There were 12 agents yesterday in the park. We had ownership of the suspect. We were in position to make the capture, and you let him get away. And from what I see now, you may have even aided in his escape.

Fox Mulder

I don't know what you're talking about.

Dana Scully

It's on the video, Mulder. I can't prove it was you, but I know what I saw. This man is a murderer. He's a Terrorist. I have a report to give this morning. I expect you to give me an answer. I expect you to tell me the truth.

Fox Mulder

We're late for the hearing.

[ door opens ]

Walter Skinner

Fifteen hours ago, a joint Fbi-c.I.a. Task force...

Scene 03

JOINT FBI/CIA

Walter Skinner

Assembled to capture Jacob steven Haley, second in command of the militia group known as new spartans. Intelligence revealed Haley was to make an exchange of money... For a quantity of automatic weapons... To conduct domestic Terrorist activities... And to further their expressed goal of overthrowing the federal government. Due to reasons that are still under review, our operation failed. Jacob steven Haley remains at large, whereabouts unknown.

Cia Agent

What about the weapons?

Walter Skinner

An arms dealer named khadri who died at the scene received from Haley... A $50,000 bearer bond. Presumably this was payment for weapons delivered.

Cia Agent

In other words, Haley not only got away, he got away with $50,000 worth of guns? Have we determined a cause of death, how Haley killed this man?

Dana Scully

He was killed by means of a highly toxic biological Agent.

Cia Agent

What kind of toxin?

Dana Scully

We don't know. Its effect on the dermis and the soft tissues, the rapidity of its action-- it is not a disease known in nature. It would seem to be genetically engineered-- a bio-weapon.

Cia Agent

How the hell did he get it? The former soviet union. Security on the siberian vector lab... Is, uh, lax. It's conceivable it was stolen, though we have no confirmation from moscow. So, is this in the ozone now? Is this stuff floating through folger park?

Dana Scully

Level four decontamination procedures... Were undertaken immediately. Our best indications are that exposure was limited... And that the toxin was transmitted directly and not contagious.

Cia Agent

How do you know that?

Fox Mulder

[ Mulder ] we're not all dead.

[ smattering of nervous laughter ]

Dana Scully

At this point we can only guess... That the toxin was transmitted by liquid or gas, touch or injection.

Cia Agent

Anybody care to tell me how this guy Haley eluded us?

Walter Skinner

Video recon indicates Haley had an accomplice at the park. We've yet to identify who this was or how Haley knew he was under surveillance.

Fbi Agent

He must have made us.

Cia Agent

Could he have?

Walter Skinner

Every member of this task force was chosen for their lack of exposure in Terrorist circles.

Fox Mulder

Haley's extremely suspicious, to the point of paranoia. He's got military training and a guerilla mentality.

Walter Skinner

Second only to this man. August Bremer. He's the group's mastermind. However, there are reports that he and Haley are vying for control. This destabilization makes August Bremer our primary threat.

Cia Agent

Well, this is it, the scenario we've all been worried about, people. Now, I need maximum control of information. Nothing leaves this room. The media gets a sniff, we're gonna disavow. We are gonna stop these men. We're gonna make it all go away.

[ agents murmuring, whispering ]

Dana Scully

Mulder.

Scene 04

GABLES CORNER, OHIO

Usherette

The show's almost over.

August Bremer

One, please.

Moviegoer

Meet you over there, okay? All right.

August Bremer

Thanks. I'd like some popcorn, please.

Usherette

Do you want large, extra large... Or jumbo large?

August Bremer

Could I get some fresh popcorn, please? The sign says "fresh popcorn."

Usherette

This is fresh popcorn.

August Bremer

No, fresh fresh. Hot, out of that machine back there. Please. A large.

Usherette

I have to make it. Probably take a minute.

[ phone rings ]

[ ringing continues ]

Scene 05

AARON BURR MOTOR COURT

Fox Mulder

Yeah?

Jacob Haley

You set me up.

Fox Mulder

I saved your ass.

Jacob Haley

Then why wasn't I told?

Fox Mulder

I didn't know about the operation.

Jacob Haley

It was your operation.

Fox Mulder

No, no, the justice department got an anonymous tip. I found out about half an hour before it went down. I did what I could.

Jacob Haley

You'll have to do better than that, Mulder.

Fox Mulder

What else can I say? I got as much to lose here as you do. They catch you, you'll flip me. Look, I believe in your ideals and your goals. The only reason I tolerate your methods is because the government's are worse.

Jacob Haley

Wow, what a ringing endorsement.

Fox Mulder

Hey, you came to me. Remember? What more do you want from me? I've risked everything. I've given you information. My partner is seriously suspicious. If that's not enough for you, that's all I got.

Scene 06

Scene 06

Teen 1

Ain't nobody home.

Teen 2

Oh, she's in there. She's just hidin' or somethin'.

Teen 1

We could make a break for it, right through the front doors.

Teen 2

Why? I got us front-row seats.

[ chuckles ]

Teen 1

[ whispers ] here.

Man in movie

[ movie: man ] trust me, guys.

Teen 1

Shh. Shh!

Man in movie

[ movie: man ] duck.

♪♪ [ orchestral, dramatic ]

Man in movie

[ movie: man grunts ] look out!

Teen 1

She see us? Is she coming?

[ movie soundtrack continues ]

Teen 2

Hey, man.

[ gasps ]

Scene 07

Scene 07

Dana Scully

Maybe you can tell me what's going on.

Manager

What?

Dana Scully

There seems to be a problem. A man just told me you gave him keys to my room-- room 130.

Manager

Who are you?

Dana Scully

Who am I? Who is he?

Manager

Mr., uh, kaplan.

Dana Scully

Mr. Kaplan.

Manager

Yes.

Dana Scully

Thank you.

Manager

Are you the wife?

Dana Scully

Not even close.

[ sighs ]

Fox Mulder

[ rings ] yeah?

Scene 08

Scene 08

August Bremer

We'll proceed as planned.

[ door closes ]

Driver

[ man whispers ] Agent Mulder, you're coming with us.

[ engine starts ]

[ tires screeching ]

[ knocking on window ]

Man

Step out of the car.

[ knocking continues ]

Scene 09

Scene 09

Dana Scully

Exactly what agency are you guys from? Obviously not the office of information.

[ knock on window ]

Cia Agent

Agent Scully, take a seat.

Dana Scully

What the hell is going on?

Cia Agent

I apologize for our methods.

Walter Skinner

They may well have saved Agent Mulder's life.

Dana Scully

What about my life? I don't appreciate being run off the road.

Cia Agent

We had our reasons.

Walter Skinner

You're suspicious Agent Mulder's betrayed his country.

Dana Scully

I don't know what you're talking about.

Cia Agent

Your discretion is understandable. In point of fact, Agent Mulder's actions are entirely honorable. What you've stumbled into is a classified action, a deep cover assignment.

Walter Skinner

Until now, Agent Mulder's true mission was known only to the u.s. Attorney and myself.

Dana Scully

His "true mission"?

Walter Skinner

The council we sat in was a front... To make the new spartans believe we were unaware of Agent Mulder's complicity.

Dana Scully

Why him? Why choose Agent Mulder?

Walter Skinner

We didn't choose him. They did.

Cia Agent

He spoke at a UFO conference in boston, where he apparently broadcast his feelings about the government... And their conspiracies against the american people. Somebody from the organization was listening. The man who escaped-- Haley-- sent out feelers... In hopes that Agent Mulder was a man whose politics were in line with his own. Someone on the inside that he could use.

Dana Scully

To what aim?

Walter Skinner

That, we don't know.

Dana Scully

You've put Agent Mulder's life in danger by not telling me.

Walter Skinner

Agent Mulder came to me. I advised him not to tell you. He's at a very delicate point. Everything he does now must work to build trust.

Dana Scully

Including letting this man Haley get away with murder? Sir, we know nothing about this bio-weapon. We don't know what they want to use it for. We don't even know if they have the capacity to store it safely. Putting Agent Mulder in this situation... Is extremely risky.

Walter Skinner

They want something from him. We have no other way of learning what.

[ door opens ]

Agent

Movie theater in ohio. Whatever they're using, they've used it again.

[ engine off ] [ emergency brake sets ]

Scene 10

Scene 10

Fox Mulder

Is this the pepsi challenge? How about some fresh air, boys?

[ sighs ]

Jacob Haley

Welcome, Agent Mulder.

Fox Mulder

Okay, deal me in.

Jacob Haley

This is just a little method that we use... To learn the truth.

Fox Mulder

You might want to put that hood back on me, unless you want to see a grown man cry.

Jacob Haley

What happened in the park?

Fox Mulder

I told you on the phone.

[ groans ]

Fox Mulder

I was set up. I'm telling the truth. Wait. Wait. Wait!

[ gasps ]

Fox Mulder

I let you go.

Jacob Haley

You're spying on us, aren't you?

Fox Mulder

No. No! Aaah! [ groans ] you want me to lie and say yes? [ groans ] I'm gonna kill you, you son of a bitch! I'm gonna kill you! If I set you up, you think I'd get in the car with this nazi piece of sh--

[ Finger cracking ]

Fox Mulder

Aaah! I risked everything! If I was lying, there'd be federal agents descending on this place... Like the wrath of god right now! You touch me again, you'd better kill me!

[ groaning ]

Jacob Haley

A war is going on, Agent Mulder. Either you're on the right side, or the wrong.

[ exhaling sharply ]

Jacob Haley

You've seen the effects of this?

Fox Mulder

Yes.

Jacob Haley

Would you like to see them again?

Fox Mulder

No. I didn't set you up. If you got set up, it was one of yours.

[ snaps ]

[ shouts ]

[ Mulder whimpers ]

Jacob Haley

You know what? I believe you.

Dana Scully

As far as I can tell, you're all clear in there.

Scene 11

Scene 11

Dana Scully

What are you Reading in there?

Tech

We've been through and through. No hot zones, no atmospherics. You're clear, Agent Scully.

Dana Scully

Thank you.

Walter Skinner

There's 14 victims total, including patrons, a projectionist and an employee.

[ sighs ]

Walter Skinner

That's the Usherette. There were two survivors-- two Teen-aged boys. How does it happen that those two kids survived?

Dana Scully

I don't know, but it's gonna help us establish a method of delivery. It's doubtful the pathogen was airborne. They found no atmospheric traces. So it's gotta be something that everybody touched.

Scene 12

Scene 12

Dana Scully

Don't be alarmed.

Fox Mulder

Scully, get outta here.

Dana Scully

Mulder--

Fox Mulder

Get outta here!

Dana Scully

I know what you're doing. Skinner told me everything.

Fox Mulder

I don't know what you're talking about.

Dana Scully

What happened to your hand?

Fox Mulder

Nothing.

Dana Scully

Oh, Mulder, what did they do to you? This needs to be set. You're in pain.

Fox Mulder

Yeah, if you keep pulling it around like that.

Dana Scully

Let's get the swelling down.

[ sighs ]

Dana Scully

They've killed again, Mulder. Fourteen people in a movie theater in ohio. The same toxin they released in the park.

Fox Mulder

Fourteen people? That doesn't make any sense.

Dana Scully

Unless it was a test... For something bigger. Why do this to you, Mulder?

Fox Mulder

They're testing me too. Haley's paranoid, spooked. I was sure he was gonna kill me.

Dana Scully

What stopped him?

Fox Mulder

He still needs something from me. I'm sensing there's someone Haley trusts even less. The man giving him his orders. Someone I haven't met yet. A guy named August Bremer.

Scene 13

FBI HEADQUARTERS

Walter Skinner

What happened to your hand?

Fox Mulder

Terrorist lie detector.

Cia Agent

Well, did you pass?

Fox Mulder

I must have. I'm still here. They told me what they want. Documentation from the federal reserve bank. Fund transfer schedules for the eastern seaboard. Cash money.

Cia Agent

They're gonna hit a bank or an armored car.

Walter Skinner

That's it? That's all?

Fox Mulder

I think I convinced Haley that the near miss in folger park... Was due to a mole inside his own group. He wants surveillance files on them.

Walter Skinner

How soon?

Fox Mulder

They're waiting for my call.

Walter Skinner

We'll need some time to dummy something up.

Cia Agent

No, no, I anticipated this. I've got files ready to use.

Walter Skinner

I'm getting a bad feeling about this. I want a tail on him.

Cia Agent

No tail.

Walter Skinner

Once they get what they want, what's to keep them from killing him?

Cia Agent

They spot a tail on him, they're gonna shoot him on the spot. We have got no other way of learning what they want past this, what the big picture is.

Walter Skinner

You may not have another chance to contact us.

Fox Mulder

If you don't hear from me by midnight, feed my fish.

Scene 14

Scene 14

Tech

That's it. That's your bug.

Dana Scully

It's a bacterium.

Tech

An especially virulent one. We isolated it from the bearer bond.

Dana Scully

Was the bacterium also found on the ticket stub?

Tech

Actually, no. Barring the usual particles and dust mites, the ticket stub was clean.

Dana Scully

Well, then how was the biotoxin spread throughout the theater?

Tech

I don't know.

Dana Scully

It looks like streptococcus.

Tech

A strain of streptococcus, but one that has been genetically altered... To make it extraordinarily lethal.

Dana Scully

But strep wouldn't be able to survive any kind of exposure to the environment.

Tech

Normally, but, uh, whoever produced this... Has cleverly coated the bacterium... With a synthetic protective covering. [ beeps ] the covering gives them an adhesive quality. It's like scratch-and-sniff. Dermal contact activates the contagion. It's ingenious, in its own evil way.

Dana Scully

Developed by the russians?

Tech

No, I've seen everything in the russian arsenal. They've got nothing this sophisticated.

Dana Scully

Well, then, by whom?

[ light switch clicking ]

Scene 15

Scene 15

Jacob Haley

Do you have what we need?

Fox Mulder

Tell the gimp to back off.

Jacob Haley

Give me the files.

Fox Mulder

I need that back by tomorrow.

Jacob Haley

Lies within lies. Put the hood on. You're going with us.

Fox Mulder

No.

Jacob Haley

You put it on, or the gimp puts it on for you.

[ ring ]

Scene 16

Scene 16

Walter Skinner

Skinner.

Dana Scully

The biotoxin was applied to the bearer bond with an aerosol spray, but there is no evidence of it whatsoever on the theater stubs. Now, I still have no idea how these kids were unaffected.

Walter Skinner

Have you ID'd the toxin? Agent Scully?

Dana Scully

Sir, are you alone?

Walter Skinner

No. Why?

Dana Scully

I'd like to speak with you in private.

[ click ]

Walter Skinner

You're off the speaker.

Dana Scully

Thank you. Now, c.I.a. Intelligence suggested that this biotoxin was stolen from the russians, but my research indicates that it was almost certainly developed domestically.

Walter Skinner

The united states has no bio-weapons. President nixon dismantled our program in 1969.

Dana Scully

Yes, sir, that's what we've been told, but the c.D.C. Database contains evidence of a streptococcus bacterium... Being developed by the army's pine bluff facility in the 1960s. It appears to be a very primitive strain of what we're seeing here.

Walter Skinner

What are you saying?

Dana Scully

What I'm saying is that the bio-weapons program may have continued in secret... And that someone may be sending Agent Mulder on a suicide mission.

Walter Skinner

Right. Thank you.

Cia Agent

What is it?

Walter Skinner

She's just concerned for her partner.

Scene 17

Scene 17

August Bremer

You put us all at risk bringing him here.

Jacob Haley

We took the usual precautions. Anyway, he came through for us. Federal reserve schedules for tomorrow.

August Bremer

You're a believer?

Fox Mulder

I have my beliefs.

August Bremer

You willing to die for them?

Fox Mulder

I'd prefer it didn't come to that.

August Bremer

We have a job to do. You're dracula.

[ sighs ]

Scene 18

Scene 18

Dana Scully

Oh, damn.

[ sighs ]

Dana Scully

The money. Oh, my god. The money.

Scene 19

Scene 19

Jacob Haley

Mulder, take it.

August Bremer

Make sure you point that the right way.

Scene 20

FIRST SOVEREIGN BANK OF PENNSYLVANIA

Manager

May I have the keys, please? Yes, here.

[ alarm beeping, volume increasing ]

[ beeping continues ]

[ beeping stops ]

August Bremer

You do what I say, or I'll shoot you!

Jacob Haley

Three minutes!

August Bremer

Open the gate. Open it!

Terrorist 1

Get down! Now!

[ all screaming ]

Terrorist 1

Everybody down!

Terrorist 2

Don't be foolish! Give us the money, and we'll be gone! Move back! Come on! Move it! All right, hit it! Down, now! Don't touch that phone!

August Bremer

Dracula, take the teller.

Jacob Haley

Step away from the counter. Open the doors. Put your hands up on the windows! Now! Now! Do it!

Terrorist 2

You! Here! Get down! Now! On the floor!

Jacob Haley

Nobody move! Two minutes!

August Bremer

Let's open it. Open it!

Fbm

Don't move!

Fox Mulder

I got it.

[ gunshot ]

[ screaming continues ]

Bank Customer

Oh, my god!

Jacob Haley

Is he dead?

Fox Mulder

No. He's still alive.

Jacob Haley

Finish him!

Scene 21

Scene 21

Jacob Haley

One minute, thirty. You! Face down, on the floor! Right here! Now! What are you waiting for? Do it!

Terrorist 2

Get down!

[ man whimpering ]

Jacob Haley

I told you to finish him. Finish him!

August Bremer

That weapon's traceable. Go.

[ gunshot ] [ screaming ]

August Bremer

Get the hell out of here. Go! Go!

Scene 22

Scene 22

Fox Mulder

What are you doing? What are you doing?

August Bremer

The bills could be traced.

Fox Mulder

The bank heist was a decoy... To contaminate the money you didn't take.

August Bremer

No more tests, mr. Mulder. This is the real deal. You've been a big help.

Jacob Haley

Put that down.

August Bremer

He's a liability.

Jacob Haley

To who? You? If you think you're gonna kill Mulder to protect your secret, it's too late. I already know your secret. Agent Mulder provided us with Fbi surveillance reports, files which contained a name, a source who's been leaking information on us for a period of two years. Charles bogard. See, bogard is an alias, an old one, for August Bremer.

August Bremer

Agent Mulder knows my alias, just as he knew a false report would feed your ambition and pit you against me.

Jacob Haley

Mulder risked his life for us.

August Bremer

Are you sure about that?

Fox Mulder

They're testing me too. [ continues on tape ] Haley's paranoid, spooked. I was sure he was gonna kill me.

Dana Scully

What stopped him?

Fox Mulder

He still needs something from me. I'm sensing there's someone Haley trusts even less.

Jacob Haley

What the hell is this?

Scene 23

Scene 23

Dana Scully

Director Skinner, you've got to get to Mulder. You've gotta find the bank they hit.

Walter Skinner

That's what we're trying to do.

Dana Scully

Agent Mulder's life is in danger, and anybody else who touches the currency at that location. They're putting the biotoxin on the money.

Walter Skinner

We've got no way of contacting him. Not without blowing his cover.

Dana Scully

You've got no choice.

Cia Agent

We had surveillance tapes satellited to us. There have been 27 robberies in seven eastern states, all this morning.

Walter Skinner

No sign of Mulder.

Dana Scully

Well, he's gotta be on there somewhere.

Scene 24

Scene 24

August Bremer

We have made some decisions. Take it and get out of here. I don't wanna see your face again. Go. On your feet.

Fox Mulder

I don't need a car. You can just call me a cab.

August Bremer

Let's go.

Fox Mulder

Go where?

[ grunts ]

August Bremer

Witnessing the murder of a federal Agent will make these men an accessory to the crime.

Fox Mulder

Did you hear that?

Finger Breaking Man

I wouldn't miss it for the world.

August Bremer

Stop there. Down on your knees. Hands behind your back.

[ pistol chamber clicks, gunshot ]

[ sighs ]

August Bremer

There's a car for you just over the rise. Head south till you get to the highway.

Fox Mulder

Who are you?

August Bremer

Go on. They come out here and find us, they'll kill us both. [ whispers ] go.

Scene 25

Scene 25

Police

Hey! Hold it! Hold it! Who are you? Fbi

Fox Mulder

Who's in charge? Who's in charge? I need everybody out of the bank.

Dana Scully

Mulder!

Fox Mulder

They sprayed the money!

Dana Scully

We got here an hour ago, before any of the funds were touched or transferred. The cash supply is being isolated, it's being locked down in the vault. Code 415.

Fox Mulder

How did you know it was this bank?

Dana Scully

I recognized you from the surveillance tape. Your Finger.

Fox Mulder

August Bremer, or whatever his real name is? He's working with us.

Dana Scully

Before you go any further, you should know that the biotoxin they used... May have come from government labs. Our government.

Fox Mulder

You're saying I was set up?

Walter Skinner

You have no definitive information to justify that position.

Fox Mulder

I was being used? This whole operation? The people that died in that theater?

Cia Agent

Agent Mulder. Our government is not in the business of killing innocent civilians.

Fox Mulder

The hell they aren't. Those were tests on us to be used on someone else.

Cia Agent

Those bills have been analyzed. The money in the vault gave no readings. There's absolutely no evidence of any biotoxins. So before you climb on any bandwagon--

Dana Scully

You knew about this all along. You knew about this the whole time!

Fox Mulder

I want that money rechecked.

Cia Agent

That money has been cleared. It's being used as evidence in a federal crime.

Fox Mulder

That money's as dirty as you are, isn't it? Isn't it?

Cia Agent

Say that were true. Then what do you hope to accomplish, Agent Mulder, as a whistle-blower? To mobilize a civil rights action? To bring down the federal government? To do the very work that that group you were a part of is so bent on doing? What do you want? Laws against those men, or laws protecting them?

Fox Mulder

I want people to know the truth.

Cia Agent

Well, sometimes our job is to protect those people from knowing it. Excuse me.
