Lieutenant Kraskow
Lieutenant kraskow. Is the bureau taking over?
Walter Skinner
You're welcome to any help that I can give you, but that's not why I'm here. What can you tell me?
Lieutenant Kraskow
Silent alarm tripped 30 minutes ago. We think there's one robber, armed. It's probably a handgun. Definitely no pro, or he would've been long gone. A single gunshot about 20 minutes ago. Blinds are down, but we think we've got a body on the floor. But you're not here to take over?
Walter Skinner
Two of my agents might be in there.
Pam
Skinner! Skinner!
Cop
Hold it right there!
Walter Skinner
Do I know you?
Pam
Stop this! Don't let this happen!
Dana Scully
Pull 'em back, Skinner!
[ breathing heavily ]
Dana Scully
You're in charge here, you know. It doesn't have to end like this.
[ door opening ]
Bernard
Yeah, it does.

No!

Son of a--
[ sighs ]
Fox Mulder
Yes, yes.
[ telephone ringing ]
[ clattering ] [ ringing continues ]
Fox Mulder
Hello? It's coming through down there? It's my damn water bed. My damn water bed sprung a leak. I-I-I know I'm not supposed to have a water bed. I don't know what to tell you. I-I-I think it was a gift. All right.
Scene 03
FBI HEADQUARTERS
Fox Mulder
I know. I missed the meeting.
Dana Scully
No, you didn't miss the meeting. You're extraordinarily late for the meeting. It's still going on.
Fox Mulder
What are you doing down here?
Dana Scully
We took a short break, and I came looking for you. What are you doing down here?
Fox Mulder
I'm having the best damn day of my life. Any moment, I'm about to burst into song-- "zip-a-dee-doo-dah." my water bed sprung a leak and shorted out my alarm clock. My cell phone got wet and crapped out on me, and the check I wrote my landlord to cover the damages... Is gonna bounce if I don't deposit my pay. You ever have one of those days, Scully?
Dana Scully
Since I've been working here? Yeah. When did you get a water bed, Mulder?
Fox Mulder
Bank's just down the street. I'll-I'll be back in ten. Cover for me, will ya?
Dana Scully
When do I not?
[ horns honking ]
Driver
Jerk!
Bernard
Yeah? You want some? We good? Pam?
Pam
Go run your errand already.
Bernard
Yeah. I just got to go pick something up. No biggie.
Pam
Right, Bernard. No biggie.
Bernard
I'll be ten minutes. Wait here for me.
Bicyclist
Hey, man, you need to watch it next time!
Bernard
You watch it!
Pam
Right on schedule. Poor guy. He never did that before.
Unidentified speaker
Okay. Thank you.
Agent Arnold
And that's assuming... These trends continue well into the coming year. Um, other d.o.j. Projections... Estimate a larger two to three percent drop... In the overall homicide rate... Versus the one to one and a half percent... Cited in the earlier tanner study. However, there is some dispute... That the statistical methodology in this latter study... Is not the d.o.j.-preferred methodology. In any case, added variables... Make crime trends for the coming year... Particularly hard to predict.
Walter Skinner
[ sighs ] the unpredictable future. Which brings us to agent Mulder. Will he or will he not grace us with his report?
[ door opens, closes ]
Teller
May I help the next in line, please?
Bernard
Customers, face down! You know what this is!
Bank customer
Oh, god!
Bernard
You! On the floor!
Bank customer
Oh, god! Don't shoot us!
Bernard
Shut up!
Fox Mulder
You're the boss. It's all right.
Bernard
All right, I'm the boss! No silent alarms, no dye packs. Do it like the insurance company taught you. Start with the counter money. Quicker you go, quicker I go. Everybody else, out here on the floor. Ah! Leave the last one. No tricks. All right, come on. Come on, come on, come on.
Fox Mulder
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah.
Bernard
All right, get your keys. Come around here. We're gonna open up the a.t.m.
Fox Mulder
Hey, lock the doors. You forgot to lock the front door.
Bernard
On the ground!
[ woman screams ]
Dana Scully
Drop it! Drop it now!
Bernard
You drop it! You drop it.
Walter Skinner
Travel expense reimbursement. Who's got those figures? All I've got here is third and fourth quarter.
Agent Arnold
No?
Skinner’s Assistant
Assistant director?
[ siren wailing ]
[ tires screeching ]
Pam
Go, go, go.
SWAT team leader
Go, go, go!
Cop
Sir? Okay.
Walter Skinner
Who's in charge here?
Lieutenant Kraskow
I am. Unless the bureau's taking over.
Pam
Skinner!
Cop
Hey, hold it!
Pam
Skinner! Don't let them charge in there. Skinner!
Walter Skinner
Do I know you?
Pam
Skinner!
Bernard
They're supposed to call, right?
Dana Scully
They're not gonna call. What's your name?
Bernard
Yeah.
Dana Scully
Look, I gotta call you something, right? How about steve? It's a nice, honest name. Steve.
Bernard
Bernard.
Dana Scully
Bernard. I have to get my partner out of here.
Bernard
I am blowing this whole freaking place right off the map if they come in here.
Dana Scully
Oh, look. They don't know that. Don't you realize that? They can't see you. They don't know what your plan is.
Bernard
They better know. They damn well better figure it out.
Dana Scully
Look-- just walk in front of the door and show them.
Bernard
You want to get me killed!
Unidentified speaker
Oh, god.
Dana Scully
I just want everybody to live. That's all. I just-- just show them. You have control over everything that happens here. You do. And it doesn't have to end this way.
[ door opening ]
Bernard
Yeah, it does.
Dana Scully
No!
Unidentified speaker
Okay.

Fox Mulder
Oh, son of a-- [ sighs ] son of a bitch. That's great.
[ telephone ringing ]
Fox Mulder
Yeah? It's coming through down there? [ sighs ] it's my damn water bed. It sprung a leak. Yeah, I-- I know I'm not supposed to have a water bed. I don't know what to tell you. I-I-- I'm sorry. I mean, I--
Unidentified speaker
Oh!
[ telephone ringing ]
[ ringing continues ]
[ line ringing ]
Bernard
Who you calling?
Pam
Nobody.
Bernard
What do you mean, nobody? It's gotta be somebody.
Pam
It's nobody you know, Bernard. Forget it.
Bernard
There's something I gotta do. I want you to come.
Pam
I'm not going with you.
Bernard
Look, I'm not asking. Pam? Don't go gettin' all weird on me. It'll only take a couple of minutes.
Pam
Look, Bernard, just go to work. It's not too late.
Bernard
I'm not going to work today. And don't say they're gonna fire me.
Pam
I wasn't gonna say that.
Bernard
'cause you know what? Who cares? Like there's a big future in mopping floors. Like that's something to lose.
Pam
We lose everything.
Bernard
No, no. I got a plan. This time tomorrow, Pam--
Pam
Everything will be roses.
Fox Mulder
Aw. Damn it. I know. I missed the meeting.
Dana Scully
Well, not yet, but only because it's the longest in FBI history.
Fox Mulder
What are you doing down here, then?
Dana Scully
Well, I came looking for you. We took a five-minute break three minutes ago. Mulder, your cell phone's not working. Did you oversleep?
Fox Mulder
Scully, did you ever have one of those days... You wish you could just rewind and start all over again from the beginning?
Dana Scully
Yes. Frequently. But, I mean, who's to say that if you did rewind it and start over again... That it wouldn't end up exactly the same way?
Fox Mulder
So you think it's all just fate? We have no free will?
Dana Scully
No, I think that we're free to be the people that we are-- good, bad or indifferent. I think that it's our character that determines our fate.
Fox Mulder
And all the rest is just preordained? I don't buy that. There's too many variables. Too many forks in the road. I meant to be on time to work this morning, but my water bed springs a leak, flooding my apartment and the apartment below me, so that makes me late for the meeting. And then I realize I gotta write a check to cover the damages to my landlord, but as I'm walking to work, I realize that's gonna bounce unless I deposit my pay. So now I gotta go to the bank, which makes me even later.
Dana Scully
Since when did you get a water bed?
Fox Mulder
I-I might just as easily not have a water bed, and then I'd be on time for this meeting. You might just as easily have stayed in medicine... And not gone into the FBI, and then we would never have met. Blah, blah, blah.
Dana Scully
Fate.
Fox Mulder
Free will. With every choice, you change your fate.
Dana Scully
Then let's change yours. I will deposit your check. You gather your files, go to Skinner's office, give your report... Before he takes it out on both of us.
Fox Mulder
Endorsed my damn check stub.
Pam
Mulder! Don't go in the bank today.
Fox Mulder
Excuse me?
Pam
Bernard's in there. Please, don't go in the bank.
Fox Mulder
I'm sorry. Do I know you?
Pam
You pass me every day on the street. Every single day. This day, on your way to the bank. And then you go inside, and everybody gets killed-- you, your partner, Bernard, everybody.
Fox Mulder
I pass you, and then we die.
Pam
Yes. Over and over. Only last time, you looked at me-- you looked at me like you knew me. Like you remembered. Please remember me.
[ gunshot ]
Pam
Don't go.
[ horns honking, tires screeching ]
Fox Mulder
Drop your weapon!
Dana Scully
Drop it.
Bernard
I ain't droppin' nothing. You put yours down. I'll shoot her!
Fox Mulder
What do you think I'll do then? Bernard. That's your name, right?
Dana Scully
Bernard, she's not dead. You're not a murderer yet.
Fox Mulder
You can end this the right way.
Teller
Sir, please. Listen to them. Don't hurt anybody else. A whole lot of police are coming.
Bernard
You tripped the alarm.
Fox Mulder
No!
[ explosion ]
[ groans ]
[ telephone ringing ]
Scene 05
Scene 05
Fox Mulder
Yeah, I know. Yeah, I know. I-I know already. I'll pay for it.
Thud
Ow!
Recording
The cellular customer you are trying to reach is--
Pam
Agent Scully.
Dana Scully
Yes?
Pam
Please, don't go inside the bank today.
Dana Scully
The bank?
Pam
Cradock marine-- eighth street branch. A block from here.
Dana Scully
Uh, I'm not following. Did-did you get separated from your tour?
Pam
I'm here to see you. I'm begging you. Please don't go this time. Don't let Mulder go either.
[ elevator bell dings ]
Dana Scully
Um, I'm sorry--
Tour Guide
Excuse me, miss? You're not supposed to be in this area.
Pam
If you walk in that bank, you'll die. Both of you.
[ scoffs ]
Fox Mulder
Oh, hey. Did I miss the meeting? Hey.
Dana Scully
Huh? No. No. We, uh, took a five-minute break about three minutes ago. Uh, Mulder, your cell phone's not working.
Fox Mulder
Wow, that is so strange.
Dana Scully
What?
Fox Mulder
I just got the weirdest sensation of deja vu. I've been having it all morning.
Dana Scully
Well, that's fairly common.
Fox Mulder
Yeah, but never to this degree. I mean, I woke up, I opened my eyes, I was soaking wet. It's a long story, but I had the distinct sensation... That I had lived that moment before.
Dana Scully
Well, you may have. Did you do a lot of drinking in college?
Fox Mulder
I wonder what it means.
Dana Scully
Mulder, I don't see why it has to mean anything.
Fox Mulder
Well, you know, some freudians believe the deja vu phenomenon... To be repressed memories escaping the unconscious-- that it represents a desire to, uh, have a second chance, to set things right.
Dana Scully
Set what kind of things right?
Fox Mulder
Whatever's wrong.
Dana Scully
Mulder, it's more likely that we're talking about a simple neurochemistry-- a glitch in the brain's ability... To process recognition and memory. Doesn't mean that the memory's authentic.
Fox Mulder
Yeah? Well, but what if it were?
Dana Scully
What if you'd lived this moment before, and now you're living it again?
Fox Mulder
Yeah, so that I could right some wrong, or change fate.
Dana Scully
Well, right now I'd say... You're fated to go to this meeting.
Fox Mulder
No, actually, I'm fated to go to the bank.
Dana Scully
Mulder. What bank?
Fox Mulder
Cradock. Right down the street.
Dana Scully
Eighth street?
Fox Mulder
What? [ sighs ] s--
Dana Scully
Some woman just stopped me in the hallway not ten minutes ago. She knew both of our names, and she warned against either of us entering... Into the cradock branch on eighth street. She said that we'd die.
Fox Mulder
What did she look like?
Dana Scully
Five-eight, thin, green eyes, dyed hair. M-maybe you know her. Maybe... It's just somebody pulling a prank.
Fox Mulder
I'll use the a.t.m. Machine. I don't wanna tempt fate.
Walter Skinner
All right, our next order of business is federal crime projections. Who's got those figures?
Agent Arnold
Uh, right here. Um, if you all could just bear with me one second. Uh, "federal crime projections."
Pam
Do you remember me?
Fox Mulder
You match a description. You're the, uh-- you're the woman that gave a warning... To my partner, aren't you? Uh, have we met?
Pam
More times than I can count. Right here on this sidewalk. Usually, you walk right by. You'll pass a few minutes earlier, a few minutes later. Little details, they change, but it always ends the same.
Fox Mulder
What always ends the same?
Pam
I keep having this conversation.
Fox Mulder
We go inside the bank... And we all die. That's what you told my partner. Is-is something going to happen inside the bank? Is there going to be a robbery?
Pam
Every time I tell you there's going to be a robbery, you run in there to try to stop it, and that's when things go bad. Don't you see? We're all in hell. I'm the only one who knows it. Something went very wrong on this day the first time around. Something got screwed up. Things didn't end the way they were supposed to. Now it's like a needle stuck in a groove.
Fox Mulder
You're saying this day repeats over and over again.
Pam
Until we get it right. Till my boyfriend doesn't blow up that bank. I have tried everything to stop him. I've hid his keys, I've-- I've drugged his coffee. I even called the police on him myself. He always gets here. He's meant to. It's you. It's you and your partner every time. If it wasn't for you, nobody would die.
Fox Mulder
If what you're saying is true, how come I don't remember it? How come you're the only one?
Pam
That's got to be 50 times you've asked me that.
Fox Mulder
No, 51. What's the answer?
Pam
I don't know. I just do. Be glad you don't. Please. You can stop this. You're the variable. It has to be you. I have tried everyone else. All I'm asking is just walk away.
Agent Arnold
That's assuming these trends continue well into the coming year. Other d.o.j. Projections... Estimate a larger two to three percent drop... In the overall homicide rate... Versus the, uh, one to one and a half percent... Cited in the earlier tanner study. However, there is some dispute that--
Fox Mulder
Um, excuse me, agent arnold. Um, where's Scully?
Walter Skinner
She just left, Mulder, I assume to look for you.
Fox Mulder
Uh, excuse me. Um--
Bernard
Everybody, face down! You know what this is! Give me the money!
Bank customer
Oh, god! Oh, god.
Bernard
You! On the floor!
Bank customer
Oh, god! You're gonna shoot us? Oh, god, he's gonna--
Bernard
Shut up!
Bank customer
He's gonna shoot us! Please don't kill us! Please don't do this!
Bernard
Shut up! Give me the money!
Bank customer
Don't shoot us! Don't shoot us!
Bernard
Damn it, shut up! Hey! Hey! Get your hands up where I can see 'em! Do it! Do it now!
Fox Mulder
Drop your weapon! [ gunshot ]
[ breathing heavily ]
Fox Mulder
He's got a bomb. He's got a bomb. He's got a bomb. He's got a bomb. He's got a bomb. He's got a bomb. He's got a bomb. He's got a bomb.

Bernard
What is it with you? Why are you always in a mood?
Pam

Bernard
Things are gonna change. You wait and see. I'll be ten minutes. Wait here for me.
[ exhales ]
[ door slams shut ]
Bicyclist
Hey, man, you need to watch it next time!
Bernard

Do you?
Fox Mulder

Pam
Do I?
Fox Mulder
Yeah. No? All right, I'm-I'm sorry to bother you.

Skinner’s Assistant
Excuse me. Agent Scully?
Dana Scully
Excuse me.
Skinner’s Assistant
It's agent Mulder, and he said it's urgent.
Dana Scully
Mulder, where are you?
Fox Mulder
I'm at the bank.
Dana Scully
Yeah, I know where you are, but what's taking so long?
Fox Mulder
Scully, I need you to do something for me right now.
[ tapping ]
Dana Scully
Ma'am, will you come with me?
Pam
Why?
Dana Scully
Just come with me, please.
Pam
What's this about?
Dana Scully
My partner said you'd know.
Fox Mulder
Take it. I'm a federal agent. I don't want us all to die in here.
Bernard
What are you talking about?
Fox Mulder
You've got a girlfriend outside in the car, and you've got a bomb. Something very bad is gonna happen here today, and I want you to know that I'm not gonna let it happen. But if you walk out that door right now, I'm not gonna stop you. You're in charge here, Bernard.
Bernard
You're damn right.
Fox Mulder
You can change your fate.
Bernard
Everybody down, now! You know what this is!
Bank customer
No! Oh, god!
Bernard
Get down!
Fox Mulder
If you don't believe me, ask her.
Dana Scully
Drop it!
Bernard
Get away from her, Pam.
Pam
This isn't gonna work. You can't be in here.
Dana Scully
Drop it now!
Bernard
You drop it.
Fox Mulder
Listen to me, Bernard--
Bernard
You get her out of here!
Fox Mulder
You get her out of here. You're dooming her by doing this. You're making her live this day over and over again-- her, you, me. All of us!
Bernard
What the hell are you talking about?
Fox Mulder
Every day you die in here, and every day it starts all over again. You can't want this for her. It's hell!
Bernard
Hell? I'm doing this for her.
Pam
Listen to him, Bernard.
Bernard
Put your damn gun down!
Fox Mulder
Put your gun down, Scully. Trust me. It's the only way to get out of here. You gotta put your gun down and let them out. He's got a bomb.
[ gun hits floor ]
Pam
Come on, Bernard. Let's go.
[ siren wailing ]
Bernard
You son of a bitch!
Pam
No!
[ gunshot ]
[ labored breathing ]
Dana Scully
This is agent Dana Scully with the FBI
Pam
This never happened before.
Fox Mulder

Dana Scully
Mulder, it's me.
Fox Mulder
I'm late again, aren't I, Scully?
Dana Scully
No, not yet. But Skinner wants to see us in his office as soon as possible. He's asking for our report on the robbery yesterday.
Fox Mulder
I'll be there in an hour.
Dana Scully
I'd like to hear it too.
Fox Mulder
Well, you were there, Scully.
Dana Scully
That's not what I mean. You still won't explain what happened yesterday-- how you knew that Bernard oates was strapped with explosives.
Fox Mulder
Call it a feeling.
Dana Scully
And it was also a feeling that he had an accomplice waiting in the car?
Fox Mulder
I don't think she was an accomplice. I think she was just trying to get away.
Dana Scully
Are you okay?
Fox Mulder
I'll be there in an hour.
