Opening scene
[ siren wailing ]
Dispatcher
Unit four, confirmation of downed aircraft burning. All units, we've got a 10-13.
Detective Miles
Unit four, this is Detective Miles. I'm coming right at you, Ray. Now, you wait for backup before you head out, all right? Unit four, come back, deputy.
[ Voice on radio, indistinct ] [ static humming ]

[ grunts ]
[ brakes screeching ]
Detective Miles
Deputy Hoese. Ray? [ groans ] oh, my god.
Scene 02
Scene 02
FBI auditor
Lariat car rentals totals--
[ whistles ]
FBI auditor
Would you like to see the figure?
Fox Mulder
Is that a lot?
FBI auditor
A lot? Gas, expenses, the motel rooms alone-- by FBI standards, these numbers are out of control.
Fox Mulder
We could start sharing rooms.
FBI auditor
You're under evaluation. There has to be a point when we say no.
Fox Mulder
You can't really compare what we do to other departments in the bureau.
FBI auditor
Right. This business with aliens.
Fox Mulder
There's more to it than that.
FBI auditor
But at the end of the day, you'd say aliens are your real focus?
Fox Mulder
That's the reason I got started, yeah.
FBI auditor
Investigating your sister's abduction... And the government conspiracy around it. Both of which have been resolved, correct?
Fox Mulder
Nothing has been resolved, exactly.
FBI auditor
In this case report here, it's concluded your sister is dead, as well as the men who took her. This is your handwriting here on the report, agent Mulder?
Fox Mulder
Yeah.
FBI auditor
So, what exactly is left to investigate?
[ men shouting, screaming ]
[ shouting in foreign language ]
Scene 03
PENAL COLONY
Marita Covarrubias
Your release has been arranged.
Alex Krycek
Marita Covarrubias. Last time I saw you, I left you for dead.
Marita Covarrubias
Alex, if it was strictly up to me, I'd leave you here to rot too.
FBI auditor
I see the money bleed out, but it just doesn't seem to make the results of your work any better. So many of the cases you investigate are left unexplained. Makes it hard to justify the expense.
Dana Scully
So much of the work that we do cannot be measured in standard terms.
FBI auditor
How would you measure it?
Dana Scully
We open doors... With the X-Files which lead to other doors.
FBI auditor
Doors leading to... "a conspiracy of men who cooperated with alien beings... "to create human/alien hybrids... So we could all become slaves of an alien invasion."
Dana Scully
I believe that there was once a conspiracy. I believe I was taken by men... Who subjected me to medical tests... Which gave me cancer and left me barren.
FBI auditor
But you don't believe in aliens?
Dana Scully
I've seen things that I cannot deny.
[ breathing heavily ]
Alex Krycek
Who sent you?
Marita Covarrubias
The smoking man. He's dying.
Scene 04
Scene 04
Fox Mulder
You said you were finished.
FBI auditor
I turned in my report and was asked to go over a few things. As you know, the times we live in, the world is changing fast.
Fox Mulder
I'm missing your point.
FBI auditor
As I said, this is an evaluation, agent Mulder, to understand what you do, so if you go forward, you can do so more responsibly.
Fox Mulder
That sounds more like a threat.
FBI auditor
Cost benefit analysis. But if you want the truth, I really don't care one way or the other. You mostly record bizarre facts on bizarre cases. In other words, information gathering. Something, it seems to me, you can easily do on the internet.
Fox Mulder
I can't do my job from an office. I promise you.
FBI auditor
Nowadays, the most advanced space exploration... Is done sitting in an office, agent Mulder. Why? It's just too damn expensive putting men in outer space.
Fox Mulder
I'm not looking in outer space.
FBI auditor
Bringing us to the point. If you spend so much time and money looking for aliens, responsibly you should narrow your search.
Fox Mulder
To where?
FBI auditor
Wherever they are. It's not unreasonable. It's just a matter of reducing your vision.
Scene 05
BELLEFLUER, OREGON
Richie
Hey, you all right?
Detective Miles
What's the problem?
Gary
Isn't that your car, mr. Miles?
Detective Miles
Yeah. A small accident. Everything's all right. What are you boys doing out here?
Richie
Well, we heard there was a plane crash. Military jet fighter collided midair with a UFO
Detective Miles
Navy found their plane about three Miles away. We've seen no evidence of any other crash.
Richie
But we heard a sheriff say he saw a fire burning... Off the highway at the 20-mile mark.
Detective Miles
There's nothing out here. No fire. No sign of fire. Now, you boys go on home. There's nothing to see here.
Scene 06
Scene 06
Fox Mulder
I think I'm in big trouble.
Dana Scully
How many times have they tried to shut us down?
Fox Mulder
Yeah, but I never actually assaulted an auditor before.
Dana Scully
Did you hurt him?
Fox Mulder
I reduced his vision a little bit. [ phone ringing ] Mulder.
Male Voice
Agent Fox Mulder?
Fox Mulder
Speaking.
Male Voice
My name is Billy Miles. I don't know if you remember me.
Fox Mulder
Yeah, Oregon, seven years ago. You had multiple abduction experiences. I'm here with agent Scully.
Dana Scully
Billy, are you all right?
Billy Miles
Yeah. This may seem weird, me calling like this, but, uh, I don't know where else to turn.
Fox Mulder
Is it happening again, Billy?
[ door opens, closes ]
Billy Miles
Yeah, but not to me this time.
Fox Mulder
More alien abductions, Scully.
Unidentified speaker
Mmm.
Dana Scully
I don't know how we could possibly justify the expense.
Fox Mulder
We'd probably turn up nothing.
Dana Scully
Let's go waste some money.
Scene 07
THE WATERGATE APARTMENTS
Nurse Greta
Hi. He's anxious to see you.
Cigarette-Smoking Man
I was worried about you, Alex.
Alex Krycek
Cut the crap, old man.
Cigarette-Smoking Man
I heard about your incarceration.
Alex Krycek
You had me thrown in that hellhole.
Cigarette-Smoking Man
For trying to sell something that was mine, was it not? I hope we can all move forward, put the past behind us. We have a singular opportunity now.
Alex Krycek
"singular opportunity"?
Cigarette-Smoking Man
There's been a crash in Oregon. An alien ship has collided with a military aircraft. Recovery is all important. It's Roswell and corona all over again... 50 years later. It's our chance to rebuild the project.
Marita Covarrubias
How do you know someone hasn't already recovered it?
Cigarette-Smoking Man
It's never quite so easy.
[ electrical crackling ]
Scene 08
Scene 08
Richie
I'm getting something here, Gary.
Gary
I told you, Richie.
[ crackling continues ]
Richie
Hey, man, look at this. Gary! Gary? Come on, man.
[ gasps ]
[ crackling intensifies ]
[ door opens ]
Scene 09
Scene 09
Billy Miles
Agent Mulder and agent Scully.
Fox Mulder
Look who's wearing a badge.
Billy Miles
I never thought of myself as a cop, but it's been three years now. My dad got them to fudge the psych qualifications.
Dana Scully
You're married, Billy.
Billy Miles
Uh, divorced. I live back with my dad now.
Fox Mulder
You've never, um-- have you ever been able to get over the abductions?
Billy Miles
Well, I have, but people haven't. No one really believes it. My dad still denies it ever happened-- that any one of us was taken.
Fox Mulder
Does he deny that it's happening now?
Billy Miles
There was a crash. A navy pilot hit an unidentified aircraft outside of town. Now, the military found their jet, but the other craft hasn't been recovered.
Dana Scully
Why not?
Billy Miles
Well, it's our county, and we're in charge of coordinating efforts. But my dad has really been no help, even though we have a deputy missing.
Fox Mulder
You find the UFO, and he won't be able to deny the truth.
Billy Miles
I hope that's all it is.
Detective Miles
What's going on, bill?
Billy Miles
Just talking to some people you might remember, dad, from the FBI
Dana Scully
Agent Scully, agent Mulder. Oh.
Detective Miles
What brings you folks out here? You're not thinking this incident's some kind of UFO?
Fox Mulder
The crash of an unidentified craft.
Detective Miles
Well, I've been on with the f.a.a. You might want to follow up. Looks an awful lot like there was no crash at all.
Scene 10
Scene 10
Fox Mulder
Deja vu all over again.
Detective Miles
That was there already, in case you're wondering at all about it.
Dana Scully
I watched agent Mulder paint that there seven years ago.
Detective Miles
What for?
Fox Mulder
To mark an anomalous electrical disturbance, the kind where time gets bent or goes missing... Or where your car loses power and dies in the middle of the road.
Detective Miles
These skid marks are mine.
Fox Mulder
That was the deputy's car up there sitting there without his lights on?
Detective Miles
If they'd been on, I would have seen him.
Fox Mulder
Good point.
Dana Scully
Detective? Did the, uh, deputy carry a.38?
Billy Miles
.38 super. Why?
Dana Scully
Three shells were discharged. I imagine they could've rolled from up there.
Detective Miles
What was he shooting at?
Fox Mulder
Probably nothing.
Detective Miles
Nothing?
Fox Mulder
Nothing's all you seem to find out here, Detective.
Dana Scully
Was the missing deputy a good cop?
Billy Miles
Yeah, sure, I guess.
Dana Scully
Married? Single?
Detective Miles
Bill! Come on over here with those.
Billy Miles
He was married. New baby.
[ car engine starts ]
Billy Miles
You know, they only want to solve this.
Detective Miles
Get in the car, bill.
[ knocking ]
Scene 11
Scene 11
Teresa Hoese
Yes?
Dana Scully
Sorry to bother you, mrs. Hoese. We're with the FBI
Teresa Hoese
Is this about my husband?
Fox Mulder
Are-- you're Teresa? Teresa Nemman?
Teresa Hoese
Yes.
Fox Mulder
Seven years ago you came to agent Scully and I for help. You were afraid of being abducted.
Teresa Hoese
Oh, my god. Uh-- please come in. I'm sorry. I sort of lost it when I realized who you were.
Dana Scully
We, uh, came to see if there's anything that you can tell us... That might help us find your husband.
Fox Mulder
We had no idea you were his wife.
Teresa Hoese
I don't know if it's important. Maybe I just hope it's not, but... Ray and I have a connection... That's even deeper for us.
Fox Mulder
He's an abductee too?
Teresa Hoese
He kept it a secret from almost everyone. It doesn't make you real popular around here.
[ baby crying ]
Teresa Hoese
His experiences were a lot more terrifying than mine. He was taken many times and tested. I have extensive medical records on him... And photos of his scars. I'll get you the files. Can you hold him?
[ fussing ]
Unidentified speaker
It's okay. Thank you.
Dana Scully
What do you see? What do you see?
Unidentified speaker
What's that? [ gasps ]
Music

Scene 12
BELLEFLUER, OREGON
Fox Mulder
Who is it?
Dana Scully
It's me.
[ shuddering ]
Fox Mulder
What's wrong, Scully? You look sick.
Dana Scully
I don't know what's wrong.
Fox Mulder
Come in.
Dana Scully
I, um-- I was starting to get ready for bed, and I started to feel really dizzy. Vertigo or something. And then I just-- I started to get chills.
Fox Mulder
You want me to call a doctor?
Dana Scully
No, I just-- I just want to get warm.
Unidentified speaker
Oh, good.
Dana Scully
Thank you.
Fox Mulder
It's not worth it, Scully.
Dana Scully
What?
Fox Mulder
I want you to go home.
Dana Scully
Mulder, I'm gonna be fine.
Fox Mulder
No, no, I've been thinking about it. Looking at you today holding that baby and... Knowing everything's that been taken away from you-- a chance for motherhood and your health-- and that made me... Think that... Maybe they're right.
Dana Scully
Who's right?
Fox Mulder
The FBI maybe what they say is true, but for all the wrong reasons. It's the personal costs that are too high. There's so much more you need to do with your life. There's so much more than this. There has to be an end, Scully.
Scene 13
Scene 13
Alex Krycek
In spite of a great deal of effort, no one seems to be able to find this UFO of yours.
Cigarette-Smoking Man
Of course they can't.
Alex Krycek
You know why? 'cause it's not here.
Cigarette-Smoking Man
It's there, Alex. I'm certain of it. Hidden in plain sight.
Alex Krycek
You listen to me. If you're gonna play games, Mulder and Scully, they're gonna beat me to it.
Cigarette-Smoking Man
Are you saying that Mulder and Scully are there looking for the UFO?
Alex Krycek
They're looking for a missing deputy.
Cigarette-Smoking Man
Well, they're looking for the right thing, but in the wrong place.
Alex Krycek
You sent me looking for a ship.
Cigarette-Smoking Man
Find the deputy, find the ship.
[ sighs ]
[ beeps ]
[ knocking ]
Scene 14
Scene 14
Teresa Hoese
Who is it? Ray? Oh, my god. Oh, my god. I was so worried. I-I was so sure-- what did they do to you this time? Ray, talk to me. You're not my husband.
[ shouting ]
[ sobbing ]
[ baby crying ]
[ Teresa gasping ]
Teresa Hoese
[ screaming ] no! No!
Scene 15
Scene 15
Fox Mulder
What happened, Billy?
Billy Miles
Teresa's gone. She's been taken. They took her.
Dana Scully
How do you know?
Billy Miles
The door was open.
Fox Mulder
Scully. The floor. What do you see? The same thing as out on the road. We've seen it before.
Dana Scully
Yeah. I have. We both have.
Billy Miles
What is it?
Dana Scully
It's a biological toxin... Emitted as a gas through the bloodstream.
Billy Miles
From who?
Dana Scully
From what is arguably... An alien.
Unidentified speaker
Oh.
Billy Miles
You okay?
Dana Scully
Yeah.
Billy Miles
You sure?
Dana Scully
Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks.
Scene 16
Scene 16
Cigarette-Smoking Man
Thank you, Greta.
Marita Covarrubias
Why the trouble to bring Krycek here and then toy with him?
Cigarette-Smoking Man
Do you trust Alex, Marita?
Marita Covarrubias
Then why bring him here at all?
Cigarette-Smoking Man
You misunderstand. I've great faith that Alex will find the ship. But if I told him how, he'd be tempted to sell the information.
Marita Covarrubias
And you're certain it's there?
Cigarette-Smoking Man
Oh, yes. But it won't be there forever. It's rebuilding itself.
Marita Covarrubias
If he finds the ship, then what?
Cigarette-Smoking Man
To possess it... Is to possess the answer to all things. Every possible imaginable question.
Marita Covarrubias
To god?
Cigarette-Smoking Man
There's no god, Marita. What we call god is only alien-- an intelligence much greater than us.
Marita Covarrubias
They're coming here, aren't they?
Cigarette-Smoking Man
They're only coming back.
[ people chattering ]
Dana Scully
Mulder?
Fox Mulder
Hey! Hey, what are you doing?
Richie
I was just standing there. Is that against the law?
Fox Mulder
You know this guy?
Billy Miles
Yeah. What are you doing, Richie?
Richie
They took him. They took Gary. He-he was just gone.
Fox Mulder
Relax. Slow down.
Richie
They're out there! I don't care what your dad says, Billy.
Billy Miles
My dad?
Richie
He was out there too. He knows.
[ sniffling ]
Scene 17
Scene 17
Richie
I was shining my flashlight in the dark, looking for the UFO, and, uh, the beam hit this spot in space, like it bent the light.
Fox Mulder
And then what happened?
Richie
Well, I yelled, "Gary!" and I looked, but he wasn't there. He wasn't anywhere, man. And then the flashlight got really hot, and I dropped it. Uh, it was right around here somewhere. Oh, hey, here it is.
Fox Mulder
Scully? Scully? Scully. [ breathing heavily ] you want some water?
Richie
What happened to her?
Fox Mulder
Can you just get her some water? [ gasps ]
Dana Scully
I just-- I just-- [ panting ] I just hit the ground.
Fox Mulder
Here, lie still.
Dana Scully
Why is this happening to me?
Fox Mulder
It's okay. It's okay.
Dana Scully
What the hell's going on, Mulder?
Fox Mulder
I don't know. But these aren't just random abductions, Scully. We've gotta warn Billy Miles of that. Of--
Dana Scully
Of what?
Fox Mulder
These abductees aren't just systematically being taken. They're not coming back.
Scene 18
Scene 18
Billy Miles
Dad?
Detective Miles
Billy? What are you doing?
Billy Miles
You stay where you are.
Detective Miles
Billy, it's me.
Billy Miles
I said, stay where you are!
Detective Miles
Damn it, Billy, listen to me.
Billy Miles
No. I don't know who you are, but you are not gonna take me.
Detective Miles
I'm your father. Are you gonna shoot your father?
Billy Miles
If you're my father, then why won't you believe me?
Detective Miles
I believe you, Billy. I-- I just want it all to go away. Give me the gun, son.
[ car approaches ]
Fox Mulder
Billy?
Dana Scully
Billy!
Scene 19
TWO DAYS LATER
Walter Skinner
Agent Mulder?
Fox Mulder
What's our punishment this time? Thumb screws or 40 lashes? Come on in, Walter. Sit a spell. This could be the last time you take a trip down to these offices.
Walter Skinner
You went to Oregon.
Fox Mulder
Guilty as charged. And if they're coming down on you for that, I'm sorry. I truly am.
Walter Skinner
Fortunately, they think that I make a contribution to the bureau.
Fox Mulder
Oh, well, yeah. Stick to a budget, and they say you're making a contribution. But push the limits of your profession, and they say you're out of control.
Walter Skinner
You could bring home a flying saucer and have an alien shake hands with the president. What it comes down to, agent Mulder, is... They don't like ya.
Fox Mulder
Well, we didn't bring home a flying saucer or an alien.
Walter Skinner
Yeah. So I've been told. Agent Mulder! I think you should listen to him.
Alex Krycek
You've got every reason to wanna see me dead, but you gotta listen to me now. You're the singular opportunity.
Fox Mulder
Here, or do you want to step outside?
Marita Covarrubias
Agent Mulder. Cancer man is dying. His last wish is to rebuild his project, to have us revive the conspiracy. It all begins in Oregon.
Alex Krycek
The ship that collided with that navy plane-- it's in those woods.
Fox Mulder
There's no ship in those woods.
Alex Krycek
Yeah, it's there, cloaked in an energy field while he mops up the evidence.
Fox Mulder
Who?
Alex Krycek
The alien bounty hunter. Billy Miles, Teresa Hoese, her husband. He's eliminating proof of all the tests. See, we're asking ourselves-- we're asking ourselves, "where are they?" they're right there. They're right under our noses. But I'm giving you the chance to change that-- to hold the proof.
Fox Mulder
Why me? And why now?
Alex Krycek
I wanna damn the soul of that Cigarette-Smoking son of a bitch.
Dana Scully
Mulder?
Scene 20
Scene 20
Melvin Frohike
What's amazing is that even the military satellites don't see this.
Richard Langly
But j.p.l.'s topex/poseidon shows it only as waveform data.
John Fitzgerald Byers
And here it appears simply as a microburst of transmission error... On the european space agency's ers-2.
Walter Skinner
In other words?
Melvin Frohike
In other words, you'd never know it's a UFO
John Fitzgerald Byers
If you didn't know what you were looking at or looking for.
Richard Langly
-no wonder we couldn't see them. -
Alex Krycek
It is not gonna be there forever.
Marita Covarrubias
As we all stand here talking, it's rebuilding itself.
Dana Scully
Mulder, if any of this is true--
Fox Mulder
If it is or if it isn't, I want you to forget about it.
Dana Scully
Forget about it?
Fox Mulder
You're not going back out there. I'm not gonna let you go back out there.
Dana Scully
What are you talking about?
Fox Mulder
It has to end sometime. That time is now.
Dana Scully
Mulder--
Fox Mulder
You have to understand. They're taking abductees. You're an abductee. I'm not gonna risk... Losing you.
Dana Scully
I won't let you go alone.
Scene 21
Scene 21
Walter Skinner
This is starting to feel like the snipe hunt I was afraid of.
Fox Mulder
There's no such thing as a snipe, sir.
Walter Skinner
My ass is on the line here too, agent Mulder.
Fox Mulder
I know that.
Scene 22
Scene 22
Dana Scully
This just can't be.
Melvin Frohike
What are you looking at?
Dana Scully
Medical records. Billy Miles... And other known abductees in Bellefleur, Oregon. They all experience anomalous brain activity.
John Fitzgerald Byers
Electroencephalitic trauma.
Dana Scully
Which is exactly what Mulder experienced earlier this year.
Richard Langly
I don't understand.
Dana Scully
There was something out there in that field. It knocked me back because it didn't want me. Mulder thinks that it's me that's in danger of being taken.
Melvin Frohike
When it's Mulder who's in danger.
Dana Scully
Scully?
The Lone Gunmen
Scully! Are you okay?
Walter Skinner
How's it supposed to work?
Fox Mulder
Not exactly sure, sir. [ beeping ] but, um, budgetarily, I'd say we're looking pretty good.
[ beeping ]
[ beeping continues ]
Walter Skinner
Agent Mulder! Mulder! Mulder! Mulder.
[ knocking ]
Cigarette-Smoking Man
We failed.
Scene 23
Scene 23
Cigarette-Smoking Man
Perhaps you never meant to succeed. Anyway, the hour is at hand, I presume.
Nurse Greta
What are you doing?
Alex Krycek
Sending the devil back to hell.
Cigarette-Smoking Man
As you do to Mulder and to me, you do to all of mankind, Alex.

Walter Skinner
Agent Scully.
Dana Scully
Hi.
Walter Skinner
Hi. How are you feeling?
Dana Scully
I'm feeling fine. They're just running some tests on me.
[ clears throat ]
Walter Skinner
Uh--
Dana Scully
I already heard.
Walter Skinner
I lost him. I don't know what else I can say. I lost him. I'll be asked... What I saw. And what I saw I can't deny. I won't.
Dana Scully
We will find him. I have to. Sir, um, there's something else I need to tell you. Something that I need for you to keep to yourself. I'm having a hard time... Explaining it... Or believing it, but, um, I'm pregnant.
