Scene 01

Morris Fletcher

Once upon a time, there were three... How should I put this... Geeks. Three more unlikely heroes there never were.

John Fitzgerald Byers

We defend the defenseless. I don't see any other way.

Morris Fletcher

It wasn't long before their naiveté nearly got them killed. So they hooked up with an FBI agent...

John Fitzgerald Byers

That's why we like you, Mulder. Your ideas are weirder than ours.

Morris Fletcher

...and began publishing a-- what shall I call it-- rag called the lone gunman.

Richard Langly

The guys at the nsa and the cia they tremble every time we put out one of these babies.

Morris Fletcher

From their cramped basement office they pointed fingers at powerful, evil forces. And some not so evil. In their own unique way, the three gunmen were patriots fighting the good fight.

Richard Langly

We tell the stories others refuse to tell.

Morris Fletcher

Yeah, that's one way to put it. And provided, um... Expertise for their friends at the FBI.

Melvin Frohike

She's hot.

Morris Fletcher

For a brief time it looked like they might actually make a difference in this cold, cruel world. They acquired an intern who believed in their cause.

Jimmy Bond

You guys fight the lost causes. I want to help.

Morris Fletcher

And a powerful beautiful nemesis...

[ automatic gunfire ]

Morris Fletcher

...who became an ally. But the world is not kind to idealists and those who fight the good fight don't always win.

[ sonar pinging ]

Scene 02

20 MILES WEST OF HARBOR ISLAND

Brittany

Morris? Morris, it's going "ping."

Morris Fletcher

Oh... It most certainly is.

[ giggling ]

Morris Fletcher

Ping. [ laughing ]

Brittany

You're going to make me spill.

Unidentified speaker

Mmm...

Brittany

Morris, what is all that stuff, anyway?

Morris Fletcher

Oh, baby, don't make me talk shop. It is so boring.

Brittany

But I want to know.

Morris Fletcher

Well, where do I begin? You know we're in the bermuda triangle, right? That place where all those planes and ships have mysteriously disappeared? Who do you think named it the "bermuda triangle"?

Brittany

Wait. You?

Morris Fletcher

Yeah, that was in my former life before I joined the private sector. There are a lot of things I can't talk about owing to matters of national security, but I will say this: there are powerful forces out here. Primal... Other-worldly forces. Mmm... Hidden beneath the waves. Just waiting to be plucked by man.

Brittany

Somebody's coming.

Unidentified speaker

Hmm?

Morris Fletcher

Hey, whatever you're selling we don't want any, okay? No ganja.

[ woman screaming ]

Morris Fletcher

Ho! Hey! Hey! Wait, wait, wait... Uh... Oh, you want the girl? Yeah, I can dig it. I'm down with that. Uh... Oh, wait, wait, wait. Guys, this is a rental. There's a $15,000 deposit on this...

Unidentified speaker

Oh, god...

Man

Your employer wanted me to tell you......you're fired.

[ engine accelerating ]

[ door opening ]

Scene 03

U.S. COAST GUARD BASE

John Doggett

Morris fletcher?

Morris Fletcher

Finally. What took you so long? You must be Reyes. Enchanté.

Monica Reyes

Yeah. Mr. Fletcher we've been told you requested us by name. We're very curious about that.

Morris Fletcher

Well, you two head the FBI's X-Files unit, do you not? I thought you'd appreciate what I have to offer.

John Doggett

Which is?

[ chuckles ]

Morris Fletcher

You have no idea who you're sitting here with, do you?

John Doggett

A guy who's up fudge creek for violating the federal secrets act. How's that for starters?

Morris Fletcher

Look, I-I've got top security clearance. I'm supposed to check in every month with my former employer. So I skipped a few phone calls. Big deal. Let me give you a hint. I used to work at groom lake, nevada. Area 51. I was a man in black! The men in black. What, you've never heard of us?

John Doggett

I saw the movie.

Morris Fletcher

Yeah, well... There were a lot of technical inaccuracies in that thing. Anyway, I'm ready to make a deal.

John Doggett

What deal would that be?

Morris Fletcher

The one that saves my furry pink ass. People are trying to kill me. Did you hear about my boat?

Monica Reyes

Yeah, your female companion told us what she witnessed.

Morris Fletcher

My female-- oh, you mean they didn't kill...

Monica Reyes

Brittany?

Morris Fletcher

Brittany. Well, thank god she's still alive. Look, I need protection. I need to get out of here. You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours. I can give you guys the keys to the kingdom. Ufos, aliens the whole 50 year cover-up. I was there for all of it.

Monica Reyes

Tell me, mr. Fletcher... These documents of yours... Are they indicative of the kind of secrets you can reveal to us?

Morris Fletcher

Honey... They're just the tip of the iceberg.

Monica Reyes

This is the jupiter 2 from lost in space.

Morris Fletcher

Okay, yeah, th-those are b.s., but only those! See, I-I was freelancing for this foreign billionaire. I told him the air force lost a flying saucer in the bermuda triangle and that I could recover it for him. I just wanted to cruise the bahamas. I never would've given him the real thing. That would be un-american. Well, he found out about it. Now he wants to kill me. I need protection. Super soldiers.

John Doggett

What do you know about super soldiers?

Morris Fletcher

A bit. It may be... There's one I can help you lay your hands on.

John Doggett

This super soldier... He have a name?

Morris Fletcher

Not he. She.

[ buzzer sounding ]

Scene 04

OFFICES OF "THE LONE GUNMAN"

Melvin Frohike

What in the hell do they want?

[ banging on door ]

John Doggett

Gentlemen.

Monica Reyes

What happened here? Did you get robbed?

Richard Langly

No.

Melvin Frohike

Uh, we're upgrading everything.

Richard Langly

We gave away all our old crap to the salvation army. We're buying totally new stuff.

John Fitzgerald Byers

What can we do for you, agents?

John Doggett

Well, we were hoping you could help us out. You know that for months now we've been investigating this secret cadre-- these, uh, so-called super soldiers.

John Fitzgerald Byers

Genetically-altered humans.

Melvin Frohike

You mean the ones that want to kill Mulder?

Monica Reyes

Exactly. We'd like your help tracking one down.

John Doggett

This woman.

Monica Reyes

You recognize her?

Richard Langly

She's, um... She's a fellow hacker. Damn fine one.

John Fitzgerald Byers

She calls herself yves adele harlow. Uh, it's not her real name.

Melvin Frohike

We never learned her real name. She disappeared a year ago, and nobody's seen her since.

John Doggett

Well, we have reason to believe that she's resurfaced and that she's become one of these super soldiers.

Melvin Frohike

[ Frohike laughing ] what in the hell are you talking about? She's no super soldier.

John Fitzgerald Byers

Absolutely not.

Richard Langly

Not a chance. Who told you that?

Morris Fletcher

This is pointless. These three monkeys couldn't find stink in an outhouse. Why are we even here?

Melvin Frohike

You... Son of a... Hey, let me at him! I'll kill him!

Richard Langly

I'll hold him down!

Monica Reyes

Whoa, fellas...

John Fitzgerald Byers

You've got a nerve coming here.

Melvin Frohike

Miserable son of a bitch.

Morris Fletcher

Told you they wouldn't help.

John Doggett

All right everybody just shut up.

John Fitzgerald Byers

This man is a professional liar. Every word out of his mouth.

Richard Langly

He's a scam artist. He used us to track yves down a year ago.

Melvin Frohike

And then he abducted her.

Morris Fletcher

Which is why I know what happened to her.

[ clears throat ]

Morris Fletcher

I facilitated a meeting, is all. And the man I was working for? I didn't know in advance what he was planning to do to her. Not my finest hour, I'll admit it.

John Fitzgerald Byers

Every word out of his mouth.

Morris Fletcher

Agents I'm telling you, you don't want these three involved. And they don't even have their ridiculous tinkertoy gizmos. This place is like how the grinch stole radio shack.

John Doggett

All right, you three know this woman. I want your help. I need to track down this yves adele harlow.

Scene 05

HARTWELL COLLEGE

Professor Houghton

Knock, please. Oh. My office hours are 3:00 to 5:00 mondays and fridays.

Yves Adele Harlow

You'll make time for me, professor.

[ air hisses ]

Professor Gillnitz

Douglas, you ready to go? Douglas?

[ gasps]

Scene 06

Scene 06

Richard Langly

Airline reservation database. What name do we look under?

John Fitzgerald Byers

Try our old standby-- different anagrams of "lee harvey oswald."

Morris Fletcher

"area 51 exposé"-- ooh! Where's your new issue? This one's a year old.

Melvin Frohike

Back off, skeezix.

Morris Fletcher

You'll never find her that way.

[ beeps ]

Richard Langly

He's right-- no anagrams for yves adele harlow.

Morris Fletcher

So, who's joey?

Richard Langly

What? Joey ramone? Leader of the greatest punk rock band in human history? Now shut up.

[ snickering ]

Richard Langly

What?

Morris Fletcher

What are you, 34, 35? Why don't you cut your hair and grow up, huh?

Richard Langly

Need I remind you, fletcher that Doggett and Reyes aren't here to save you.

Morris Fletcher

Yeah, well, get yourself a real hero, anyway not some dead teeny-bopper.

Richard Langly

You want to know why joey ramone's my hero? 'cause people like you never managed to grind him down. They never stole his spirit. He never gave in, never gave up, and never sold out. Right till his last breath.

[ scoffs ]

Richard Langly

And he's not dead. Guys like that, they live forever.

John Fitzgerald Byers

Langly just ignore him.

[ sighs ]

Morris Fletcher

Look, if we have to work together, let's work together.

Melvin Frohike

We don't have to work together.

Morris Fletcher

Well, watching you three try and find your butts with both hands is not my idea of a fun time. Now, wouldn't it be easier tracking yves if you knew her real name?

John Fitzgerald Byers

You know her real name?

Morris Fletcher

Lois runce.

John Fitzgerald Byers

Lois runce? Aha.

Morris Fletcher

I'm telling you the truth, boys.

Melvin Frohike

Well, if you were, it'd be a first.

[ knocking ]

John Fitzgerald Byers

Nobody knows about that door. That's our secret door.

Morris Fletcher

Does lois know about it? Yves?

John Fitzgerald Byers

Jimmy?

Jimmy Bond

Guys...

Richard Langly

Jimmy? How you feeling, man?

Morris Fletcher

Oh, right. The old errand boy. The guy used to intern for you losers, right? I wondered what happened to you.

Jimmy Bond

Why is he here?

John Fitzgerald Byers

FBI business. It's a long story.

Melvin Frohike

Where the hell you been, big guy?

Jimmy Bond

Zurich... Then malta... Then yemen... And just now new jersey. It's been a real geology lesson. I ran out of money, so I hitchhiked here then snuck in the back 'cause I didn't know if the place was being watched.

[ sighs ]

Jimmy Bond

I just had to see you guys. It's about lois. Lois runce? That's yves's real name.

Morris Fletcher

I told you so. Hey, wait a minute. You tracked her all over the world? You?

[ sighs ]

Morris Fletcher

Mr. Brainpower here is lucky to be alive. Why did you send him? Were you trying to get him killed?

Richard Langly

He sent himself to find yves. We tried to talk him out of it.

Jimmy Bond

Yeah, and now I almost wish you had.

John Fitzgerald Byers

Jimmy, what is it? Are you all right?

Jimmy Bond

Last night I traced her to a little college in new jersey. It's the closest I've been in a year of searching. I saw her. I actually laid my eyes on her I called to her... But she ran. Later on, I found out... Guys, I think she murdered somebody.

Scene 07

Scene 07

Yves Adele Harlow

One down.

Scene 08

HARTWELL COLLEGE

Monica Reyes

John gillnitz? I'm agent Reyes and this is agent Doggett. Is this the woman you saw last night?

Professor Gillnitz

It was dark. It could have been her. Do you have her in custody?

John Doggett

We're working on it. Sir, what can you tell us about your friend? Have any reason why he may have been targeted?

Professor Gillnitz

Absolutely none. Douglas was a wonderful teacher and an even better researcher.

Monica Reyes

What did he research?

Unidentified speaker

Elasmobranchii--

Professor Gillnitz

Sharks, rays and skates.

Monica Reyes

He was a marine biologist?

Professor Gillnitz

An immunologist. Sharks have a remarkable immune system. Toxins that would kill nearly any other vertebrate pass right through them.

John Doggett

So he did medical research?

Professor Gillnitz

Douglas wanted to save the world.

Scene 09

Scene 09

Morris Fletcher

Cheer up, gomer. You're bringing the whole room down.

Kimmy Belmont

This is a computer, Langly. Com-pu-ter. Step away before you embarrass yourself.

Richard Langly

Always a pleasure, kimmy.

Kimmy Belmont

Yeah, yeah. So, then, how do you wish to partake of my hacking genius?

Melvin Frohike

Thanks to jimmy we know yves's real name.

Morris Fletcher

Hey, I told you before he did.

Richard Langly

Jimmy also told us what kind of car she's driving. Silver x5 with new york plates.

Kimmy Belmont

Really? Way to go, special ed.

John Fitzgerald Byers

The new jersey turnpike has video cameras at every tollbooth. Langly hacked the system and spotted her southbound at newark.

Kimmy Belmont

Somewhat creative.

Richard Langly

We spotted her again going through the fort mchenry tunnel. She passed through not 20 minutes ago.

John Fitzgerald Byers

We're betting she's headed for D.C. We're going to try to intercept her with your help.

Melvin Frohike

Think you might find a military satellite you could piggyback-- give us a bird's-eye view of the beltway?

Kimmy Belmont

Intriguing. Stand aside, ladies.

Melvin Frohike

We'll be on the cell.

Morris Fletcher

I got shotgun.

Richard Langly

Dream on. You're staying here.

John Fitzgerald Byers

We need somebody we can trust keeping an eye on fletcher.

Jimmy Bond

I'm on it.

Morris Fletcher

So, how'd you like malta?

Scene 10

MEDICAL EXAMINER'S OFFICE

Medical Examiner

The only thing I can say for sure is what killed him. He was injected with some sort of tiny poison pellet but the wound in his chest was postmortem.

John Doggett

What is that?

Medical Examiner

That's what I said. My best guess is bioluminescence but I'm still waiting to hear back from our lab.

Monica Reyes

Bioluminescence, as in the stuff that makes lightning bugs glow?

Medical Examiner

Lightning bugs, plankton, jellyfish but generally not dead college professors.

John Doggett

So, what? This stuff was put on postmortem?

Medical Examiner

No, as near as I can tell, it bled out of him. It gets weirder still. When I opened him up I found adhesions that indicate past surgery so I'm figuring I'll find he had a bypass or a pacemaker. Instead, I find... This.

Monica Reyes

Looks like cartilage.

Medical Examiner

It is. It was living tissue grafted into him. I have absolutely no idea why.

John Doggett

It held something. Something that's now missing. Could that be the purpose of this wound? A little ad hoc surgery?

Monica Reyes

Maybe that was the very purpose of the murder. Whatever was inside him, she removed it.

John Doggett

What the hell was inside him?

Scene 11

Scene 11

Morris Fletcher

I have no clue. Seriously, this is the first I'm hearing of it. Weird organs? I don't know what to tell you.

Monica Reyes

You've never heard of the man-- professor douglas houghton?

Morris Fletcher

You're looking at me oddly.

John Doggett

Perhaps because you've been known to lie on occasion.

Morris Fletcher

Yeah, well, I'm not lying now. I've said from the start I didn't know what she was up to.

Kimmy Belmont

Damn it! Crashed again! I cannot make magic with substandard equipment.

John Doggett

What's the problem?

Kimmy Belmont

The problem is it's a freakin' piece of junk. I knew those guys were broke but this is pathetic.

Monica Reyes

The guys are broke?

Kimmy Belmont

Are you kidding? Look around this dump. They had to hock all their stuff just to pay the rent.

Morris Fletcher

What about this?

Kimmy Belmont

Oh, their paper? Deader than disco. They haven't published in months.

Morris Fletcher

So saving the world doesn't pay the bills. There's a hot news flash for you, huh? The chumps.

Jimmy Bond

They were getting by all right till you put 'em out of business.

Morris Fletcher

Oh, and how exactly did I do that?

Jimmy Bond

When you took yves. They spent every last dime trying to find her. They're loyal to their friends. Hilarious, huh?

[ phone rings ]

Monica Reyes

Reyes.

John Fitzgerald Byers

You better get here quick.

Monica Reyes

Where are you?

John Fitzgerald Byers

The hotel farragut. Hurry.

[ bell dings ]

Melvin Frohike

She's going to kill that guy.

John Fitzgerald Byers

Doggett and Reyes are on their way.

Richard Langly

By then it'll be too late.

Melvin Frohike

Yves, don't do it!

Scene 12

Scene 12

Jimmy Bond

Lois? Should I call you that?

Yves Adele Harlow

I prefer yves.

Richard Langly

So, we take it you're not a super soldier.

Yves Adele Harlow

Super what?

John Fitzgerald Byers

Long story. Never mind.

Melvin Frohike

Yves, you weren't seriously going to smoke that guy, were you?

Yves Adele Harlow

I know you three mean well but I can't begin to tell you how badly you've mucked things up.

[ door opening ]

John Doggett

So this guy just up and bolted.

Richard Langly

He hit her and then he took off.

Monica Reyes

Nobody's seen him. The room is registered to one leonard southall of darien, connecticut.

Yves Adele Harlow

It's an alias.

John Doggett

It's a stolen id. The real leonard southall died in 1996. You want to tell me who that was?

Yves Adele Harlow

His real name-- I have no idea.

John Doggett

This is your bag, isn't it? It's quite a party you've got planned for him. Respirator... Surgical gloves... Scalpel. Not to mention this little item here.

Monica Reyes

You were planning to cut him open, ms. Runce just like you did the professor. Why?

Jimmy Bond

Yves, that can't be true. Tell them it's not.

Yves Adele Harlow

It is, jimmy. Time is running short. Unless you let me finish what I started innocent people will die.

John Doggett

You want to elaborate on that?

Yves Adele Harlow

First things first. Who was it that put you on to me?

[ groans ]

Scene 13

Scene 13

Morris Fletcher

Okay, guys, so she's not a super soldier. I made an honest mistake.

Unidentified speaker

Ow!

Yves Adele Harlow

As I suspected-- it's a tracking device. I'm sure he meant to activate it once he knew you had me.

John Doggett

You've been wearing that since miami. You've been running a scam on us from the start.

Monica Reyes

Blowing up the boat. The girl as your witness. You planned all that.

John Doggett

That and all the super soldier bull. All that was just to hook us.

John Fitzgerald Byers

So then you two would in turn hook us.

Melvin Frohike

And we'd track down yves for this slimeball all over again.

Morris Fletcher

Well, what can I tell you? You three always get the job done for me.

John Doggett

Who do you work for, fletcher?

Yves Adele Harlow

An international arms dealer-- a billionaire and scum of the earth.

Morris Fletcher

And... He's also...

Yves Adele Harlow

My father. My father is a murderer and a supporter of terrorism. I hate everything he stands for.

Jimmy Bond

Yves... You're a murderer, too.

Yves Adele Harlow

The man I killed was a terrorist, jimmy. A zealot whose research was funded by my father for its potential as a weapons system.

Monica Reyes

Houghton was an immunologist doing research on sharks.

Yves Adele Harlow

Yes, and he used his knowledge of their immune system to devise a vessel of sorts-- one that kept him safe from an engineered virus that he carried within him.

John Doggett

This man had living tissue implanted in his chest.

Monica Reyes

Cartilage. Shark cartilage. It contains something which you removed.

John Doggett

That was this virus you were talking about.

Yves Adele Harlow

I destroyed it, but it was only one of two.

Richard Langly

Oh, man, the bald dude at the hotel. The one that got away.

Yves Adele Harlow

Think of him as a human time bomb. He can pass by any sniff dog, any metal detector and no one would ever suspect.

John Fitzgerald Byers

What triggers this time bomb?

Yves Adele Harlow

Programmed cellular death-- genetically altered to a high degree of precision. The way the vessel is decaying inside of him is virtually clocklike. It will lose integrity and rupture at 8:00 tonight.

Kimmy Belmont

Five hours from now?

Yves Adele Harlow

This virus, once it's airborne its kill radius is five or six Miles depending on the winds. Potentially, it could kill thousands... Tens of thousands.

Melvin Frohike

Fletcher... I know you're a dirtbag but still... How could you be a party to this?

Yves Adele Harlow

Fletcher's a con man, not a killer. He didn't know about it.

John Doggett

Providing all this is true, how do we track this man down?

Richard Langly

Kimmy, zoom in more. Zoom in.

Kimmy Belmont

Back off, kibitzer, I'm doing it. This thing is slower than stumpy, my one-legged granny. Where did you get this dinosaur turd?

Jimmy Bond

Stop bellyaching and work.

Morris Fletcher

Those things will kill you, you know.

Melvin Frohike

Yeah, that's why I quit 20 years ago. You want one?

Morris Fletcher

So you're too broke to publish, huh? Pencil neck told me. It's a shame. This little rag always was such a hoot. I'm going to miss it. But, hey, the world spins on, right? Maybe saving it is a younger man's game. Or a woman's.

Melvin Frohike

Maybe it is. Got to admit, Byers, it hasn't exactly been our year. And to top it all off we screwed the pooch pretty good today. Maybe we should pack it in.

John Fitzgerald Byers

And do what instead? We never gave up. We never will. In the end if that's the best they can say about us it'll do.

Richard Langly

I got him!

Kimmy Belmont

It's my hack, Langly. I got him.

Richard Langly

We got him, all right? Our bad guy just rented a blue corolla under his alias, leonard southall. We just picked him up on kimmy's satellite. Yeah, hauling north like a bat out of hell.

Kimmy Belmont

New jersey turnpike 30 Miles south of newark.

Yves Adele Harlow

I think I know where he's headed.

[ nail guns popping ]

[ phone ringing ]

Scene 15

John Fitzgerald Byers

Lone gunman newspaper group. Byers speaking.

John Doggett

Byers? John Doggett.

John Fitzgerald Byers

Agent Doggett, do you have him?

John Doggett

Oh, yeah, we got him. Listen, how much do you trust this yves harlow... Lois runce... Whatever name she's telling you?

John Fitzgerald Byers

Completely. Why?

John Doggett

Because the doctors here have run every kind of imaging on this guy southall and come up snake eyes. No virus, no cartilage vessel in his chest, nothing.

John Fitzgerald Byers

They found nothing.

Yves Adele Harlow

That doesn't make sense.

John Fitzgerald Byers

They're absolutely certain?

John Doggett

One hundred percent. Agent Reyes and I are looking like a couple of fools on this one.

John Fitzgerald Byers

There must be something we missed.

John Doggett

All I can tell you is, we got the wrong guy.

Yves Adele Harlow

There must be a second man. I know there is. It's basic terrorism 101.

Richard Langly

Except we don't know his name and we don't know his target.

Jimmy Bond

And we've got one hour to find him.

Scene 16

INTERNATIONAL BIOETHICS FORUM

Professor Gillnitz

Good evening.

Security Guard

You're good.

Scene 17

Scene 17

Yves Adele Harlow

All my information pointed to that man leonard southall. He goes by an alias, he traveled to Washington on this very day.

John Fitzgerald Byers

Clearly, he's involved somehow.

Jimmy Bond

He must be. He made a beeline right back to that biology department where the dead professor worked.

Melvin Frohike

It's their base of operation.

Richard Langly

Yeah, so if southall is involved and yet he doesn't have the virus inside of him...

Yves Adele Harlow

So how exactly does he fit into their plan?

Morris Fletcher

Three-card monte. You ever played it? You have now.

Melvin Frohike

What's that supposed to mean?

Morris Fletcher

It means these guys have you running after the ace when you should be chasing the queen.

Yves Adele Harlow

Oh, my god. Southall is the decoy. That's all he is.

Morris Fletcher

You were hot on their trail so they gave you someone else to follow.

Jimmy Bond

I thought you didn't know anything about terrorists.

Morris Fletcher

I don't. But, boy, do I know scams. I wasn't a man in black all those years for nothing. They made you work at finding southall which tells me the real guy is hiding in plain sight, right out in the open.

Melvin Frohike

A friend of the dead professor? A co-worker maybe.

Yves Adele Harlow

The man who saw me through the professor's window. The one who identified me.

Scene 18

INTERNATIONAL BIOETHICS FORUM

Speaker

Ladies and gentlemen, scientists academic leaders and government representatives. Coming together is our goal this evening coming together as one. Those words are easily spoken. But guiding our missile into that fugitive and imponderable target is hard indeed.

Security Guard

Sorry, conference attendees only.

John Fitzgerald Byers

We're reporters.

Security Guard

What newspaper you work for?

John Fitzgerald Byers

The lone gunman.

Security Guard

Never heard of it.

Richard Langly

We're legit, man.

Melvin Frohike

Show him your press pass.

Yves Adele Harlow

It's desperately important that we get in there.

Jimmy Bond

Yeah, buddy, come on.

Security Guard

These expired last december.

Yves Adele Harlow

We've got five minutes.

John Fitzgerald Byers

We believe there's a dangerous man in that room.

Security Guard

Folks, I need all of you to step away right now.

Richard Langly

Look, thousands of people may die.

Security Guard

Mike, I got a situation over by the main conference room.

Jimmy Bond

John gillnitz! John gillnitz!

Security Guard

Step back, sir.

Jimmy Bond

I'm really sorry. Where'd he go?

Yves Adele Harlow

Split up. Four minutes left. Good luck.

Melvin Frohike

Hey, wait! What do we do with this guy once we find him?

Yves Adele Harlow

Hold him till I get there. I'll do the rest.

Richard Langly

You mean cut him open?

Yves Adele Harlow

If that virus gets into the air stream, we'll have failed. People will die. Whatever it takes.

Unidentified speaker

Let's go.

John Fitzgerald Byers

Three minutes and counting.

[ distant banging ]

[ banging continues ]

John Fitzgerald Byers

Don't try to run.

Professor Gillnitz

I don't have to.

Richard Langly

Yves, jimmy, we found him!

Melvin Frohike

Over here!

Professor Gillnitz

What do you plan to do? By my watch, it's two minutes to 8:00. Not much time for surgery.

John Fitzgerald Byers

Yves! Jimmy!

Professor Gillnitz

Now you have a minute forty.

Melvin Frohike

Guys.

John Fitzgerald Byers

Whatever it takes.

[ alarm rings ]

Jimmy Bond

Byers! Frohike! Langly! Yves, come here. Guys! Guys! Oh, god. No.

John Fitzgerald Byers

Don't, jimmy.

Yves Adele Harlow

Jimmy, don't. It's airtight. They're already exposed.

Jimmy Bond

No, guys.

Melvin Frohike

Buddy, fight the good fight.

Richard Langly

Both of you.

John Fitzgerald Byers

Never give up.

Scene 19

ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY

Kimmy Belmont

Vaya con dios, amigos.

John Doggett

Arlington. You must've pulled some big strings to get those guys in here.

Walter Skinner

It's the least I could do.

Monica Reyes

You ready?

John Doggett

Yeah.

Walter Skinner

Dana.

Dana Scully

I'll catch up. They meant so much to me. I'm not sure if they ever really knew.

Jimmy Bond

Nobody knew what heroes they were.

Yves Adele Harlow

It's not right. It's not.

Morris Fletcher
