Scene 01
DISTRICT PATHOLOGY LAB
Dr. Langenhahn
They weren't kidding, were they?
Pathologist’s Assistant
They said they did about the best they could... Considering he was all mashed in with that garbage.
( grunts )
Dr. Langenhahn
How mashed up is he?
Pathologist’s Assistant
Basically, it's hamburger.
Unidentified speaker
Oh.
Dr. Langenhahn
And they want me to do what exactly?
Pathologist’s Assistant
The order was to establish and confirm real fact of death.
Dr. Langenhahn
I'd say he's dead. How about you?
Pathologist’s Assistant
Yes, sir.
Dr. Langenhahn
Good. I'm going home. You fax me the paperwork by 9:00, I'll sign it, everybody's happy. Oh, cryin' out loud. See this? They left some garbage in with it.
Pathologist’s Assistant
Looks kinda like a vertebrae, only metallic.
Dr. Langenhahn
Note it on the report. Then fax me.

Scene 02
Dana Scully
Oh, god. I was hoping this was all a dream. When'd the sun come up?
Monica Reyes
About six hours ago. Somewhere back in north carolina.
Dana Scully
Where are we?
Monica Reyes
We just crossed into georgia. A long way from home, agent Scully.
Dana Scully
Under the circumstances.
Monica Reyes
Right. We can't be too safe.
Dana Scully
Are you all right, agent Reyes?
Monica Reyes
I should ask how you're doing. I mean, you're the one who's gonna have this baby.
Dana Scully
That's it, isn't it? What you're really worried about?
Monica Reyes
Aside from whatever danger we're in, where we're going doesn't sound like... There's all that much in the way of a facility. You know what I mean? I-- I've never delivered a baby.
Dana Scully
Well, I've never had one. That makes us both beginners.
Scene 03
Scene 03
Fox Mulder
This is a videograph from the D.C. Morgue. It's Billy Miles.
Walter Skinner
How can that be?
John Doggett
It can't be. It's impossible.
Fox Mulder
Yeah, it can't be, but it is, walking out of the morgue lookin' like a new man.
John Doggett
His body was taken to the morgue in a little box, for god's sake.
Alex Krycek
Like I told ya, you can't stop him.
Walter Skinner
Yeah, you know, you keep saying that, Krycek. Why don't you explain it to us because I'm having a little bit of a hard time... Understanding it myself. Billy Miles was scraped out of the back of a garbage truck. I saw him go in. I saw him come out.
Alex Krycek
Well, I don't know if I can explain it in any technical sense, but... That's Billy Miles without a doubt.
Walter Skinner
You're sitting there for one reason, Krycek, because you can't explain it.
Alex Krycek
I told you he's a human replacement. Some new kind of alien... Created to aid in the repopulation of the planet.
Fox Mulder
Which Scully's a threat to.
Alex Krycek
If she has that baby.
John Doggett
I don't care who he is or what you think he's made of, there's no way he's gonna find her, no way.
Alex Krycek
Well, maybe he's not, but there are others out there just like him. And it's only a matter of time before they will.
( knocking )
Agent Crane
Agent Doggett? See you a moment? There's someone here to see you. Crane: the name is knowle rohrer. He says you know each other and what he's here for can't wait.
Scene 04
Scene 04
Monica Reyes
End of the road.
Dana Scully
Yeah, literally. If anybody finds us out here, it really will be a miracle. Where exactly are we?
Monica Reyes
Democrat hot springs. According to agent Doggett, this is where people used to come for their waters, until the springs dried up and they quit coming. He was born here.
Dana Scully
Really. Well, that's comforting. I guess. So where do you want to set up?
Monica Reyes
Over here.
Dana Scully
Any particular reason?
Monica Reyes
I think I told you I feel these energies about people and stuff... And places. I found it works best to go with my instincts.
Dana Scully
I'm getting a feeling myself.
( squeaks )
Dana Scully
Well, there's no water from this rock. We're gonna need some water and a place to boil it. Along with sterile supplies and a clean place to do this delivery.
Monica Reyes
I'm a little stiff from the drive.
Dana Scully
Okay.
Scene 05
Scene 05
John Doggett
It's not like you, knowle. Comin' to see me when you make me work so hard to see you.
Knowle Rohrer
This couldn't wait, john. It's about this thing you're pursuing.
John Doggett
This thing?
Knowle Rohrer
This man you're after. I think you know what I'm talking about.
John Doggett
I think I'm confused, knowle... If it's a man or it's a thing.
Knowle Rohrer
This is military, john. Goes all the way to the top. I can't overstate the sensitivity. Let me say there was a rumored program out of the cold war... Planned to create a super soldier.
John Doggett
Well, this kid I'm talking about was pretty damn super. Got right up out of a gut bucket and hit the ground running. The kid wasn't exactly what I'd call military material. In fact, they say he was an alien abductee.
Knowle Rohrer
You got it half right, john.
John Doggett
Which half?
Knowle Rohrer
What you're chasing... Is a prototype.
John Doggett
Uh-huh. And this so-called prototype... What is he after?
Knowle Rohrer
I think you know that too, john. He's after your partner Scully. You may not be aware that she was part of a program herself. Six years ago, agent Scully was taken in a military operation... Staged as an abduction. They put a chip in the back of her neck to monitor her. It was also used to make her pregnant... With the first organic version of that same super soldier.
( chuckles )
John Doggett
What do you want from me?
Knowle Rohrer
Help us catch him so we can put him down... Before he finds her.
John Doggett
You assume I know where she is.
Knowle Rohrer
Who does, your superior? Whoever knows, his life is in danger too. I want you to know.
( sighs )
( bell dings )
Scene 06

Walter Skinner
Sit down, Krycek! Hey, what did I tell you? Hey! Krycek! Krycek, hold the door! Hold the door, Krycek! Krycek!
( elevator whirring )
Scene 07
Scene 07
John Doggett
Mulder.
Fox Mulder
You heard about this, right?
John Doggett
How is he?
Fox Mulder
He's got a concussion. They're gonna keep him here for observation. Where were you when this all happened?
John Doggett
In my office, talking to somebody who warned me this might happen.
Fox Mulder
Who?
( sighs )
Fox Mulder
Skinner could have been killed. He's lucky he wasn't.
John Doggett
He's an old friend. He tells me stuff I'm not supposed to know. I didn't wanna believe it.
Fox Mulder
What exactly did he tell you?
John Doggett
He said that Billy Miles isn't what you think he is. He's a product of a government program lookin' to build a super soldier. He said agent Scully's a part of that program too. And her pregnancy was triggered by a chip they put in her neck.
Fox Mulder
I want to know who the hell you've been talking to! Who this trusted source of yours is, who's been spinning this fantasy.
John Doggett
His name's knowle rohrer. He's deep inside u.s. Intelligence I don't know much more than that.
Fox Mulder
Did he ever lie to you? Give you bad information? False leads? You have to think about it?
John Doggett
He said Scully's in danger. He wants to stop this guy. How's that so different from what we're saying?
Fox Mulder
You didn't tell him where she is, did you?
John Doggett
No. But I'm beginning to think that the fact that I know... Is gonna catch up with me if a.d. Skinner's any indication.
Fox Mulder
You don't tell anybody where she is. That's the deal, right? Not even me.
John Doggett
What if something happens to me?
Fox Mulder
This, uh, trusted source of yours... Told you he knows how to stop Billy Miles. Did he happen to tell you how he plans to do this?
John Doggett
No.
Fox Mulder
Right. What do you say you and me go find out how trustworthy he really is?
Scene 08
Scene 08
Monica Reyes
Dana, come see what you think.
Dana Scully
Oh, my goodness! Look at this. Look at you. Wow!
Monica Reyes
I found them folded up in a cabinet upstairs... And a nice porcelain basin and a whole box of candles.
Dana Scully
Do we have matches?
Monica Reyes
I've got a lighter.
Dana Scully
Yeah.
Monica Reyes
Now all we need is some mood music. Like "whale song." "
Dana Scully
Whale song"?
Monica Reyes
They've got these recordings of whales talking to each other, calling back and forth.
( imitating whale calls )
Monica Reyes
I-I don't know, it's like, it's almost metaphysical. You're looking at me like-- I don't know. I probably sound like a goof.
Dana Scully
No, no, it's not that. Um, I was thinking that you reminded me of someone that I was close to. My sister.
Monica Reyes
You're not close to her still?
Dana Scully
Uh, she was killed about five years ago... In my home. It was a terrible time. Well, it's, uh, it's okay. I want to thank you. Thank you for... Putting this together. It's not what I planned, but, um, it's very nice. What?
Monica Reyes
There's someone out there. Stay here. Get out of the car! I'm a federal agent!
Game Warden
I don't care who you are. Let's start by putting that weapon away. Just point it down now.
Monica Reyes
I'm a federal agent.
Game Warden
I heard you the first time. Just let me see some identification.
Monica Reyes
Dana?
Dana Scully
I'm sure this looks untoward, but my life is in danger. And my baby's. There's a man who's pursuing us and it is very important that he not find us here.
Game Warden
We get hunters in here... Taking deer and game off-season. I've heard every excuse in the book, but this one's far too original. You don't plan to have it here?
Monica Reyes
It's not as crazy as it sounds. I mean, I hope it's not. She's a doctor. She can coach me.
Game Warden
And what if something goes wrong? If you're a doctor, you know the risks. You're unprepared here.
Dana Scully
This man... He's extremely dangerous.
Game Warden
I got a first-aid kit in my truck. It's pretty basic, but better to have than not. I'll be back with some towels and the proper swaddling.
Dana Scully
Thank you.
Scene 09
FBI PARKING GARAGE
Fox Mulder
Hey, how is it that this friend of yours is so desperate for your help, and then when we want to reach him, all of a sudden, he's unreachable, nowhere to be found.
John Doggett
Maybe he got wind. Maybe he got spooked. But I'm beginning to think it doesn't make a damn bit of difference.
Fox Mulder
You told me that he told you he knew how to stop Billy Miles. Are you telling me now that you think he's a liar?
John Doggett
He is or he isn't. What the hell difference does it really make?
Fox Mulder
It doesn't make any difference at all, unless you wanna protect Scully and that baby.
John Doggett
And then what? How long can you keep this up? How long until the next Billy Miles rears his head? The next threat? The next phantom? Do you ever stop to ask yourself? All the sacrifice, the blood spill. You've given nearly a decade of your life. Where the hell is it all gonna end?
Fox Mulder
I don't know. Maybe it doesn't.
( tires squealing )
Fox Mulder
Start the car.
John Doggett
What?
Fox Mulder
Alex Krycek just pulled in. ( car engine starts )
John Doggett
What the hell's he doing here? How did he get security clearance?
Fox Mulder
Do you recognize his passenger?
John Doggett
Yeah, it's knowle rohrer.
Scene 10
Scene 10
Dana Scully
Thank you. Thank you.
Monica Reyes
I have to say, with everything I know you must be feeling, you look amazingly beautiful, Dana.
Dana Scully
And what about what you're feeling? Any vibrations, agent Reyes?
Monica Reyes
I don't know.
Dana Scully
What?
Monica Reyes
I don't know if I'm just being paranoid... But something feels off. We need some more water.
( gunshot )
( gun cocks )
Monica Reyes
Go back inside, Dana!
Dana Scully
Who is it?
Monica Reyes
Dana, it's okay. He's dead.
Dana Scully
No, it's not okay. What do you mean?
Monica Reyes
Exactly what I said. Now go on inside. We'll take care of this.
Dana Scully
They said that he couldn't be stopped.
Monica Reyes
Dana, he's got no vitals. He's lost too much blood.
Game Warden
Is this the man you're afraid of? How did he find you out here? I do have to report this thing.
Dana Scully
No, you can't do that.
Game Warden
I don't have any real choice.
Dana Scully
No, I mean, I-I just felt a contraction.
Scene 11
Scene 11
John Doggett
Something's happening. Where's he going?
Fox Mulder
Not to see you, that's for sure.
John Doggett
Who the hell's he going to see?
Fox Mulder
You go ahead. I got Krycek.
( elevator bell dings )
( knocking )
( chattering )
Walter Skinner
Agent Doggett?
( hangs up phone )
John Doggett
What are you doing here?
Walter Skinner
They let me out of the hospital tonight. What are you doing here?
John Doggett
I got Mulder down in the parking garage watching alex Krycek.
Walter Skinner
What the hell is Krycek doing here?
John Doggett
That's what I'm trying to figure out.
( phone rings )
Fox Mulder
Yeah?
John Doggett
He's here with agent crane.
Fox Mulder
Agent crane? How the hell does he know agent crane?
John Doggett
That's a damn good question. He doesn't.
Fox Mulder
You been wondering who's getting these guys past security, how Billy Miles is in the FBI? Agent crane is in on this with your friend, which means he's in on it with Krycek. -they've been in on it all along. -
John Doggett
I don't understand. In on what?
Fox Mulder
Fooling us, agent Doggett. Into chasing after Billy Miles. Into believing that we could protect her.
John Doggett
Scully?
Fox Mulder
Yes, they know where she is.
John Doggett
No, no, no. Only I know where she is.
Fox Mulder
You and agent Reyes. You called her from a phone inside the FBI, didn't you?
Walter Skinner
There's no way crane can tap calls in here, Mulder. He'd have to have access to the communications system.
John Doggett
Skinner's here with me.
Fox Mulder
Maybe this goes even higher. Listen to me, I got to get to Scully. You gotta tell me where she is, where you sent her.
John Doggett
Look, we can nail these guys here, Mulder. We can put an end to it.
Fox Mulder
No, you listen. You gotta get out of there. You got no guarantee... That these guys aren't alien replacements too.
John Doggett
Northern georgia. A place called democrat hot springs. Mulder!
( cocks gun )
Alex Krycek
Get out of the car. Doesn't seem fair now. Doesn't seem right. Coming down to this.
Fox Mulder
What do you know about fair or right, Krycek? You're a coward.
Alex Krycek
I could've killed you so many times, Mulder. You gotta know that. I'm the one that kept you alive. Praying you'd win somehow.
Fox Mulder
Then there really is no god.
Alex Krycek
You think I'm bad, that I'm a killer. We wanted the same thing, brother. That's what you don't understand.
Fox Mulder
I wanted to stop them. All you wanted was to save your own ass.
Alex Krycek
No. I tried to stop them. Tried to kill Scully's baby to stop them. It's too late. The tragedy is that you-- you wouldn't let it go. That's why I have to do this. 'cause you know how deep it goes. Right into the FBI
Fox Mulder
You wanna kill me, alex, kill me. Like you killed my father. Just don't insult me trying to make me understand.
( gunshot )
( groaning )
( breathing heavily )
( screaming )
( groaning )
Alex Krycek
It's gonna take more bullets than you can... Ever fire to win this game. But one bullet... And I can give you a thousand lives. Shoot Mulder.
Fox Mulder
I'm going to go to the airport. I need that location from agent Doggett. Skinner, are you with me?
Walter Skinner
You just go. I'll get him.
( car engine starts )
( groaning )

Game Warden
They're two minutes apart now. It's not going to be long.
Monica Reyes
How's this?
Dana Scully
That's great.
( elevator bell dings )
John Doggett
Right there! Both of you! I'm prepared to use force!
Walter Skinner
Come on. Come on! Agent Doggett.
Monica Reyes
Here you go.
Dana Scully
Thank you. Thank you.
Monica Reyes
( screams ) move!
Dana Scully
Agent Reyes, what?
Monica Reyes
Move out of here!
Dana Scully
What's happening?
Monica Reyes
Who are you?
Game Warden
This baby will be born.
Dana Scully
Agent Reyes!
Walter Skinner
The blazer! Get Mulder on the phone.
( tires squealing )
( tires squealing )
Dana Scully
What's happening? Huh? What?
Monica Reyes
It's okay, Dana.
Dana Scully
What? No!
Monica Reyes
It's going to be okay.
Dana Scully
No!
( breathing heavily, screams )
Walter Skinner
Get him off!
Dana Scully
This is my baby!
Monica Reyes
You gotta push, Dana!
Dana Scully
( grimaces ) please don't let them take it!
Monica Reyes
Come on, Dana. Push!
Unidentified speaker
God!
Dana Scully
Please don't let this happen.
Monica Reyes
Dana, push!
Dana Scully
It's mine!
Walter Skinner
Hold on!
( yelling )
Monica Reyes
Harder! Push, Dana! Keep breathing, Dana. Keep breathing.
Dana Scully
Please don't let them take it!
Monica Reyes
Push! Push! Push, Dana, push! ( screams )
( baby crying )
( baby continues crying )
Fox Mulder
Down there. Get me down there. Scully. Scully! Where is she? Scully! Where is she? Scully! Where is she? Tell me where she is!
Monica Reyes
Mulder!
Fox Mulder
How is she?
Monica Reyes
She's inside. She needs to get to the hospital.

Scene 13
Alvin Kersh
I'm to take this story seriously? These incidents at the FBI this account of agent Scully's birth. I'm to submit this report as quality investigative work? As representative of actual fact?
John Doggett
I signed the report there, sir.
Alvin Kersh
Yeah, I see it, john. And I see her signature here too. On an X-File. I'd like to know when you assigned yourself, agent Reyes?
Monica Reyes
Agent Doggett assigned me, sir.
Alvin Kersh
Agent Doggett cannot just assume the authority of this office.
John Doggett
I assume it because this office is under investigation... For the late-night meeting between you, agent crane... And an intelligence operative named knowle rohrer.
Monica Reyes
Both men were presumed dead, but are now missing. In actual fact.
Alvin Kersh
You investigate what I tell you.
John Doggett
And you put me on the X-Files. That's what I'm investigating.

Melvin Frohike
Get some rest.
Dana Scully
Yeah.
Melvin Frohike
We didn't hear you come in.
Richard Langly
We were just dropping off gifts.
John Fitzgerald Byers
We just wanted to--
Fox Mulder
See it with your own eyes.
Melvin Frohike
It's incredible, you know? You arriving in time to save Scully. Getting her to a hospital.
John Fitzgerald Byers
We still don't know how you did it. Speaking with agent Doggett, he said they never reached you with specific coordinates.
Fox Mulder
There was a light. I followed it.
Richard Langly
Guess we got our next headline.
Fox Mulder
How's everybody doing?
Dana Scully
We're doing just fine.
Fox Mulder
Hey, now.
( baby crying )
Fox Mulder
None of that.
( baby gurgling )
Fox Mulder
Hi. What are you gonna call him?
Dana Scully
William. After your father.
Fox Mulder
Well, I don't know. He's got your coloring and your eyes, but he looks suspiciously like assistant director Skinner.
Dana Scully
I don't understand, Mulder. They came to take him from us. Why they didn't--
Fox Mulder
I don't quite understand that either. Except that maybe he isn't what they thought he was. That doesn't make him any less of a miracle though, does it?
Dana Scully
From the moment I became pregnant, I feared the truth... About how... And why. And I know that you feared it too.
Fox Mulder
I think what we feared were the possibilities. The truth we both know.
Dana Scully
Which is what?
