Scene 01

HIGHWAY 375

Fox Mulder

Milepost 134. Two Miles to go.

Dana Scully

I'm all a-tingle. So, Mulder, this supposed clandestine source who's contacted you. How do we know that he's not just another crackpot... Whose encyclopedic knowledge of extraterrestrial life... Isn't derived exclusively from reruns of star trek?

Fox Mulder

Because of where this particular crackpot works-- groom lake, area 51, where the military has conducted--

Dana Scully

For the past 50 years... Classified experiments involving extraterrestrial technology.

Fox Mulder

It's all our questions, the proof that we've suspected... But never been able to hold in our hands. That-- that proof is here.

Dana Scully

It's the dim hope of finding that proof that's kept us in this car... Or one very much like it for more nights than I care to remember. Diving hundreds, if not thousands, of Miles... Through neighborhoods and cities and towns... Where people are raising families and buying homes... And playing with their kids and their dogs, and, in short, living their lives, while we, we-- we just keep driving.

Fox Mulder

What is your point?

Dana Scully

Don't you ever just want to stop? Get out of the damn car? Settle down and live something approaching a normal life?

Fox Mulder

This is a normal life.

Dana Scully

Mulder?

[ tires screeching ]

Fox Mulder

I don't know if we're going to meet that crackpot after all.

Soldier 1

Out of the car!

[ rifles cocking ]

Soldier 1

Out of the car, sir! Ma'am.

Morris Fletcher

May I see some identification, please? [ sighs ] FBI you're gonna have to leave immediately.

Fox Mulder

Why? It's a public highway.

Morris Fletcher

It's also borders a u.s. Government testing ground. What's your business here? What are you doing out here in the middle of the night?

Fox Mulder

What are you doing out here?

Dana Scully

Hiding top-secret test flights? Using technology from UFOs?

Morris Fletcher

Flying saucers. I got a top secret for you. There's no such thing as flying saucers.

Dana Scully

Come on, Mulder. Let-- [ low rumble ]

[ whooshing, crackling ]

Dana Scully

Come on, Mulder. Let's go.

Scene 02

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Soldier 1

Sir, open fire?

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

No! No, let 'em go. Let 'em go.

Soldier 1

Sir? Your orders, sir?

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

I want to get out of here.

Howard

Morris. Morris! What do you think you're doing? Why'd you let them go?

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

They didn't know anything.

Howard

They were FBI agents obviously here to meet someone, very possibly an informant. You just sent away our best hope of finding out who.

Jeff

We can't just disappear a couple of FBI agents, Howard. We'll get their own people to deal with them. That's what Morris was thinking. Right, morry? Let's go.

[ helicopter blades whirring ]

Guard

Sir!

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

Yeah?

Guard

Your identification, sir. You do have identification?

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

Yeah.

[ indistinct ]

Jeff

What's Wegman doing here? Kind of late for the old man to be clocking in.

Howard

Something must be up. I'm gonna check it out.

Jeff

Kiss-ass.

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

[ whispers ] Scully.

[ motor turns off ]

Scene 03

Dana Scully

Are you all right, Mulder?

Morris Fletcher (in Mulder’s body)

What are you talking about?

Dana Scully

Well, you haven't said anything since we left those men on the highway. Is something wrong?

Morris Fletcher (in Mulder’s body)

I'm fine. Gas cap's on your side.

Dana Scully

Okay. If you don't want to talk about it.

[ cell phone rings ]

Dana Scully

[ ringing continues ] Mulder? Mulder--

Hello? Hello?

Morris Fletcher (in Mulder’s body)

Oh, Dana? You want to pick me up a pack of morley's, please?

Since when do you smoke?

Morris Fletcher (in Mulder’s body)

Well-- you're not gonna be a Nazi about it, are you?

Scene 06

Scene 06

Jeff

I ran a reverse trace on the outgoing calls. We definitely got a leak. He called the FBI this morning... From Wegman's office.

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

Wegman?

Jeff

The leak. He used the guest phone in Wegman's office. He's rubbing our noses in it.

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

Hmm. In what?

Jeff

In the fact that he works in this building. That he has access to everything. All our work. [ scoffs ] and we don't know who he is.

[ phone rings ]

Jeff

Morris?

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

Yeah?

Jeff

[ ringing continues ] you gonna answer that?

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

Hello?

Joanne Fletcher

What are you doing there?

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

Just trying to work that out.

Joanne Fletcher

It's midnight. I've been waiting up.

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

I didn't know.

Joanne Fletcher

What do you mean you didn't know? You said you'd call. Morris--

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

I forgot.

Joanne Fletcher

You always forget. This time don't forget the milk.

[ dial tone ]

Jeff

The wife? Come on, man. Let's go home.

[ door opens ]

Jeff

Tired, morry?

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

There it is, huh? Home, sweet home. All right. Good night, Jeff.

Scene 07

Operator

Base operator.

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

Oh, um-- I, uh--

Operator

Would you like an outside line, mr. Fletcher?

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

No, thank you. Good night.

Station 1

Look, kids, it's larry, the creepy stage--

[ actors breathing heavily ]

[ fire extinguishers hissing ]

Scene 08

2:04 AM

Howard

It was a routine test flight, sir. Craft suddenly lost altitude... At 23:17 hours over highway 375.

General Wegman

What happened?

Howard

We haven't yet determined that, sir. We have recovered the flight data recorder, as well as the two pilots.

General Wegman

Alive?

Howard

We found the copilot over here.

[ grunting ]

General Wegman

My god.

Howard

The other man's alive, but--

General Wegman

But what?

Howard

We're not sure yet.

General Wegman

What happened, captain?

[ native language ]

Scene 09

FBI HEADQUARTERS

Dana Scully

I'm sure he's on his way.

[ exhales deeply ]

Dana Scully

Mulder!

Morris Fletcher (in Mulder’s body)

Hey. Hey, Dana. How's it going?

Dana Scully

Mulder, where have you been?

Morris Fletcher (in Mulder’s body)

Oh, sorry. I just got a little lost on my way in.

Dana Scully

You got lost?

Morris Fletcher (in Mulder’s body)

I'm just a little-- you know, a little lost in my head.

Dana Scully

Yeah.

Morris Fletcher (in Mulder’s body)

Yeah. One of those days. Yeah. Hi, there. How are you this morning?

Kersh’s Assistant

The assistant director's waiting, sir.

Morris Fletcher (in Mulder’s body)

Great. Let's do it.

Alvin Kersh

My two frequent fliers. I'm to understand you were in Nevada yesterday. And after, what's it been, two, three conversations... Such as this on the matter.

Dana Scully

Uh, sir--

Alvin Kersh

This morning I got a phone call from the pentagon... Demanding that the two of you be reprimanded... For trespassing on a top-secret military installation. What do you think you were doing there?

Dana Scully

We were following a lead, sir.

Alvin Kersh

And that's part of your current case load? A legitimate investigation?

Morris Fletcher (in Mulder’s body)

Agent Scully and I were contacted by a confidential source.

Alvin Kersh

What source?

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

Oh, if I had the name, I'd give it to you. Some whistle-blower working inside the so-called area 51. Said he had some "big deal" information. I gotta tell you, the whole thing turned out to be... Just one gigantic mistake on our part.

Alvin Kersh

Agent Mulder, you were specifically ordered not to pursue... Any line of investigation pertaining to the X-Files.

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

Sir, you're absolutely right. And on behalf of agent Scully and myself, I'd like to apologize... For our blatant disregard of your direct order. You have our word. We will never, ever do that again.

Dana Scully

Mulder. Mulder!

Morris Fletcher (in Mulder’s body)

What?

Dana Scully

What was that about?

Morris Fletcher (in Mulder’s body)

What was what about? "

Dana Scully

I'd give you his name if I had it." whatever happened to protecting out contacts, our work?

Morris Fletcher (in Mulder’s body)

He asked. Hang on a second.

[ chuckling ]

Morris Fletcher (in Mulder’s body)

Well. Okay, then. What?

Dana Scully

What is going on with you?

Morris Fletcher (in Mulder’s body)

Will you please stop trying to pick a fight with me?

Dana Scully

Mulder, you are acting bizarre.

Morris Fletcher (in Mulder’s body)

Jealous?

[ voices chattering on TV, indistinct ]

Scene 10

Scene 10

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

Scully?

Joanne Fletcher

I can't believe you. I just can't believe you. And who is Scully?

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

Good morning.

Joanne Fletcher

You could at least do me the courtesy... Of coming to bed at night, pretend we have a happy marriage. What if Chris or Terry had come down here first? Seen their father being a pervert? Did that ever occur to you?

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

Hey, uh-- um-- honey? I need-- have you s-- have you seen my car keys? I thought I might have left them--

Teenager

Morning, dad.

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

Morning... Terry.

Teenager

Oh, my god!

Joanne Fletcher

Morris! What did you do to Chris?

[ sputtering ]

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

Where are my keys?

Boy

Yo, dad.

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

Howdy, Terry.

Boy

I'm not Terry.

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

Chris. Terence.

Boy

Terry's for wusses.

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

And terence isn't? Hey, uh, terence, how about helping... Your old dad find his car keys?

Joanne Fletcher

No milk. I'm taking the minivan.

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

Don't I have my own car?

Joanne Fletcher

Chris, did you give your father back his keys?

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

Okay, well, uh, everybody have a, uh, a good day at your various, uh-- all right.

Chris

Mom!

Joanne Fletcher

Morris! What about Chris?

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

Chris?

Chris

You said you'd give me an answer today.

Joanne Fletcher

Her nose. You said you'd give her an answer about her nose.

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

Um-- I think she's a little young for plastic surgery, don't you think?

[ sobbing ]

Joanne Fletcher

Oh, for god's sake, Morris. A nose ring! She says she wants a nose ring!

Chris

I hate you! I wish you were dead!

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

Well, my work here is done. Have a nice day.

Joanne Fletcher

You want a divorce, don't you? Just say the words. "Joanne, I want a divorce."

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

Joanne? Joanne, no.

Joanne Fletcher

I will not live this way, Morris. I will not let you walk in and out like a stranger. Maybe it's better if you just--

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

I'm sorry. I'm-- I'm just not myself lately.

Joanne Fletcher

Morris. You are wearing your suit from yesterday.

Television announcer

Ladies and gentlemen, mr. Johnny cash.

♪♪

Joanne Fletcher

Morris, what are you doing? It's for you.

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

Thanks.

[ door shuts ]

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

M-- Morris.

Jeff

Morry, it's Jeff. Where the hell are you?

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

I'm running a little late.

Jeff

Get your ass down here tuit de suite. We got something big going down.

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

Bigger than what?

Jeff

Big as in I can't say anything more over the phone. Just get down here.

[ dial tone ]

[ chanting in native dialect ]

Scene 11

Scene 11

General Wegman

[ chanting continues ] do we know what he's saying?

Howard

It seems he's praying, sir. We've identified the language, a native American dialect-- hopi, to be exact. The pilot's name is captain robert mcdonough. Born in missoula, montana. No known foreign language skills. Only since the crash, he claims to be one mrs. Lana chee, a 75-year-old hopi indian woman born and raised in the mowape reservation... About 35 Miles from here.

General Wegman

Is it some kind of shell shock?

Howard

We don't think so, sir. This is mrs. Lana chee. We picked her up on the reservation this morning.

General Wegman

At ease. What's your name?

Captain Robert McDonough (in Lana Chee’s body)

Captain robert mcdonough, sir! I apologize for my present condition and appearing out of uniform, sir!

General Wegman

Do you know what happened last night, captain?

Captain Robert McDonough (in Lana Chee’s body)

Sir, we launched from base at 2300 hours and headed south. At approximately 23:15, we lost power in the right rear quadrant.

General Wegman

Do you know what, uh-- do you know what caused the power loss?

Captain Robert McDonough (in Lana Chee’s body)

No warning lights came up on the panel. All systems checked out in preflight. She just wasn't in the mood to fly, sir.

Scene 12

Scene 12

Morris Fletcher (in Mulder’s body)

Come on, baby. Be the hole.

Dana Scully

Ah! [ whispers ] Mulder!

Morris Fletcher (in Mulder’s body)

I got a birdie.

[ phone ringing ]

Dana Scully

Scully.

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

Oh, thank goodness. Scully, it's me.

Dana Scully

I'm sorry. Who is this?

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

It's me, Mulder.

Dana Scully

Mulder. Shh.

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

I'm sorry I couldn't call sooner. Something really weird happened last night when that UFO passed over us.

Unidentified speaker

UFO?

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

You don't remember? You don't remember. The man that you're with-- that's not me. His name is Morris Fletcher. He's an area 51 employee.

Dana Scully

Morris Fletcher.

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

That's right. Everybody here seems to think that I'm him, but I'm not. I'm me, Mulder.

Dana Scully

Psst!

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

As long as they think I'm him, I have access, but I'm gonna need your help. What was that?

Dana Scully

Uh, what was what?

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

This may not be a secure line.

Dana Scully

Mulder, uh, where are you?

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

I'd better not say. Look, just get out here as soon as you can.

Dana Scully

How can I get in touch with you?

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

You won't. I'll get in touch with you.

[ dial tone ]

Morris Fletcher (in Mulder’s body)

Who do you suppose that was?

Dana Scully

That wasn't your source? I'll run a trace.

Morris Fletcher (in Mulder’s body)

Uh-- no, no. I think we should notify el jefe a.s.a.p. We don't want our collective asses chewed out all over again.

Dana Scully

Mulder? Are you sure that's the best thing to do?

Morris Fletcher (in Mulder’s body)

Look, little lady, I think it's time you got your panties on straight. We're federal officers. We go by the book.

Gas station attendant

That'll be $1.89. You got 11 cents' change.

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

Keep it.

Gas station attendant

Wow. Maybe I'll just close early.

[ engine starts ]

[ low rumbling ]

Scene 13

Scene 13

Jeff

Turn around, big guy. We got trouble.

Soldier 1

Keep back! We got a spill! Sir!

Howard

Hey, Fletcher! What the hell's he doing?

Jeff

Fletcher, what are you doing?

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

There was a man in here, the attendant. [ man groaning ]

[ groaning continues ]

Jeff

Holy mother of--

Howard

It's happened again.

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

What's happened again?

Howard

Let's get out of here.

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

We got to help this man.

Howard

We got to help ourselves. Whatever caused this could come back.

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

We can't just leave him here.

Jeff

Morris--

Howard

What the hell's the matter with you?

Jeff

Morris--

Howard

I'm not asking you, I'm telling you. Let's go.

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

This man needs a doctor.

[ gunshot ]

Howard

Not anymore. Burn it.

Soldier 1

Clear perimeter 200 feet! Everybody, pull back!

Jeff

Come on, morry. That guy was dead long before we found him.

[ woman giggling ]

[ kissing noises ]

Scene 14

Scene 14

Kersh’s Assistant

Agent Scully.

Morris Fletcher (in Mulder’s body)

Can't get enough, huh?

Dana Scully

It's me.

Morris Fletcher (in Mulder’s body)

Oh, hey, Dana.

Dana Scully

What do you think you're doing?

Morris Fletcher (in Mulder’s body)

Oh, you know, just a little lunch break. What's up?

Dana Scully

We got the trace back on the call we received this morning. It came from a gas station pay phone off of highway 375, three Miles east of groom lake.

Morris Fletcher (in Mulder’s body)

And?

Dana Scully

And I'm thinking it was your source. Although I don't know why he'd try and impersonate you.

Morris Fletcher (in Mulder’s body)

Maybe so.

Dana Scully

You don't think that we should follow up on this?

Morris Fletcher (in Mulder’s body)

Are you out of your pretty little mind?

Dana Scully

Am I out of my mind? Mulder, you are out of your mind. What is up with you? I'm thinking about having you examined for mental illness... Or-or drug use or-- or maybe a massive head injury. This is an X-File. Your life's work. Your crusade.

Morris Fletcher (in Mulder’s body)

As I understand it, we're off the X-Files.

[ door slams ]

Morris Fletcher (in Mulder’s body)

Bitch.

Scene 15

Scene 15

Howard

This was brought to a local vet. Some kid found this in the desert ten Miles east of the gas station.

General Wegman

Show me on the map.

Howard

Right here.

General Wegman

This is where you found the gas station attendant?

Howard

Yes, sir. We located the pilot of the crash site here... And the indian woman right there.

General Wegman

What's this?

Howard

That, we believe, is ground zero. Once we analyze the flight data recorder, we hope to confirm it's where the warp began.

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

Warp?

Jeff

Beam me up, scotty.

Howard

It's a tear in the space-time continuum. An anomaly created by the malfunction of the aircraft... Which was operating in gravity pulse mode before it went down.

General Wegman

We've been flying these things since '53. I never heard of anything like this.

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

According to quantum physics, it's possible.

Howard

Antigravity systems utilize bends in space and time for propulsion. A sudden shift in a craft's trajectory... Could create the kind of distortion we're witnessing right here-- a lizard and a rock existing in the same time and space.

Jeff

If this is where your so-called warp began, we would have all seen it. The three of us were out on highway 375 at the time, sir, intercepting two FBI agents.

Howard

The fact that none of us remembers seeing it is evidence that my theory is correct.

Jeff

And how's that?

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

Lost time.

Howard

Lost time is a common symptom of close proximity to antigravity propulsion.

Jeff

Then how come my head isn't in a rock, or Morris's?

Howard

That's one question I haven't been able to answer. It is possible we suffered consequences from our exposure that we're not fully aware of.

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

What do we do about it?

Howard

That's your department-- keep it out of the paper, make sure witnesses disappear.

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

Yeah, but how do we reverse it? How do we get the lizard out of the rock?

Howard

Who says we can?

Scene 17

Scene 17

Joanne Fletcher

This is not a marriage. It's a farce!

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

What?

Joanne Fletcher

You're not attracted to me anymore. I disgust you, don't I?

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

No. No, it's-it's not that you're disgusting. [ stammering ] it's just that--

Joanne Fletcher

It's just that you don't want to make love to me ever again, that's all. That, and you mumbled something about Scully in your sleep. Who is Scully, Morris? Is it another woman?

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

Does Scully sound like a woman's name to you?

Joanne Fletcher

Who is Scully? Tell me.

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

Look, Joanne, I'm sure I've told you many times in the past... That there are things about my work that unfortunately I have to keep a secret.

Joanne Fletcher

Oh, no, buster. That's not gonna fly this time.

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

My point is that there are a lot of things you don't know about me. And... I've just been-- I've been under a lot of pressure lately. Up is down. Black is white. I don't know where I stand anymore. I don't even know who I am, really, anymore. I just-- I know for sure... That I am not the man you married. I'm just not, and I'm sorry. I'm truly sorry.

Joanne Fletcher

Oh, god, Morris. I didn't know. They have that pill now. We can work this out. There's other ways to be intimate.

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

[ doorbell rings ] I think that was the doorbell.

Joanne Fletcher

We can make this work. Yes?

Dana Scully

Hi. My name is Dana Scully. I'm looking for Morris Fletcher.

Joanne Fletcher

Morris! You son of a bitch!

Dana Scully

I'm sorry. Uh, Morris Fletcher?

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

Scully, it's me. It's Mulder.

Dana Scully

You're, uh-- you're the man from the other night from area 51?

Joanne Fletcher

Liar!

Dana Scully

You phoned me. Mind telling me what this is about?

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

No, I'm Mulder. I'm really Mulder. I switched bodies, places, identities with this man, Morris Fletcher-- the man that you think is Mulder, but he's not. Of course you don't believe me. Why was I expecting anything different? Your full name is Dana katherine Scully. Your badge number is-- hell, I don't know your badge number. Your mother is margaret. Your brother is bill, jr. He's in the navy and hates me. Lately for lunch, you've been having this little six-ounce cup of plain yogurt, into which you stir bee pollen because you're on a bee pollen kick... Even though I tell you you're a scientist and should know better.

Joanne Fletcher

Cheater!

Dana Scully

Look, any of that information could've been gathered by anyone.

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

Even that yogurt thing? That is so you. That is so Scully. It's good to know you haven't changed. That's somewhat comforting.

Dana Scully

Look, I don't know what the point of all this is.

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

I'll prove it to you.

Dana Scully

No, you won't. But I wouldn't mind if you came clean with me.

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

Scientific proof about what happened to us on that road two nights ago. Fair enough?

Joanne Fletcher

I am calling the police.

Dana Scully

Good-bye, mr. Fletcher.

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

I will prove it to you, Scully. Tonight. I'll prove everything. Okay?

[ car engine starts ]

[ ringing ]

Howard

Howard grodin.

Morris Fletcher (in Mulder’s body)

Mr. Grodin? This is special agent Mulder of the federal bureau of investigatation. How are you this morning?

Howard

How did you get this number?

Morris Fletcher (in Mulder’s body)

Frankly, that's what I wanted to talk to you about. Sir, I am obligated to tell you that you have a security leak in your facility. A man with whom you have worked very closely has contacted this office on several occasions... And offered me access to highly classified information.

Howard

Would you happen to have a name for this man?

Morris Fletcher (in Mulder’s body)

Why, yes. Yes, I would.

Dana Scully

Scully.

Alvin Kersh

You're in Nevada again.

Dana Scully

Uh, sir, I--

Alvin Kersh

Do not speak, agent. Listen. Your partner already apprised me of his conversation with the air force... And his fervent desire to save you from making a fatal career mistake. Therefore, you will follow my instructions to the letter.

Dana Scully

Sir, I don't know what Mulder told you--

Alvin Kersh

You will follow my instructions to the letter. Otherwise don't bother coming back from Nevada.

Attendant

Can I help you?

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

Scully, I got it. I got the proof.

[ vehicles approaching ]

[ rifles cocking ]

Dana Scully

I'm sorry.

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

Scully, you?

Jeff

Damn it, Morris.

Fox Mulder (in Morris Fletcher’s body)

You! You son of a bitch! You orchestrated this whole thing! He's not me, Scully! Would I do this? Would I do this? Scully! No, you bastard! Tell her the truth! Scully, he's not me! He's not me! Scully, he's not me!
