MAKHAFAR AL BUSAYYAH, IRAQ
[ gunfire ]
Josepho
My recon squad had engaged saddam's army in a small bedouin encampment. We'd been ambushed, taken all by surpise, and there were casualties.
Soldier #1
I can't feel my legs!
Josepho
You're gonna be okay. Don't worry.
Soldier #1
My legs!
Josepho
Damn it, get on the radio! We need some help here!
Soldier #2
Zulu six two, we are under attack. Repeat: we are under attack. We are taking heavy machine-gun fire.
Josepho
We were holding our perimeter, and we might've held up, but on this day, I had a terrible sense of foreboding. I saw the future of those brave men, and they were about to die. Death came to take my men, but not me. I was left as a witness to a vision. Angels from heaven.

[ boots thudding ]
Josepho
Behold, a whirlwind came out of the north and a brightness was about it. And out of the midst came the likeness of four living creatures... And they had the likeness of a man. I knew why my life had been spared. I was to deliver the message of these angels-- of these sons of god. To deliver the message of the god who came before all other gods.
Scene 03
Scene 03
Brad Follmer
At 7:00 this evening, in a Washington D.C. Alley a vehicle carrying the son of agent Dana Scully was forced to a violent stop by a female shooter who proceeded to kidnap the child at gunpoint. The van was being driven by three men asked by agent Scully to protect the child. The three men are currently working to ID the assailant. John Doggett was seriously injured by the same female shooter as he tried to halt her vehicle. Agent Doggett remains in a coma under close watch at st. Mary's hospital. This kidnapping follows on the heels of a failed attack on Scully's child by another FBI agent, robert comer. He remains in critical condition also at st. Mary's. Now, this man's motives and the motives of the female kidnapper are still unknown. Let me emphasize that the FBI has no reason to believe that it cannot affect the safe return of agent Scully's child.
Walter Skinner
Agent Scully. What are you doing? I thought I told you you didn't need to be here.
Dana Scully
I just had to see this for myself.
Walter Skinner
Go home.
Dana Scully
To what?
Walter Skinner
I'm just saying, you don't need to put yourself through this, Dana. We've got every stop pulled; every available agent working to find your son.
Dana Scully
And a.d. Brad Follmer leading the charge.
Walter Skinner
Deputy director Kersh asked him to take the lead. He knows how to run a task force. I think you see that in there.
Dana Scully
I see a man who withholds information for Kersh. A man who not once but twice failed to prevent an attack on my son. You see a task force in there. I see a whitewash.
Walter Skinner
I know you're upset but you can't possibly accuse Follmer or Kersh of having any part in this.
Dana Scully
What is it going to take for you? How many people have to be taken out for you to open your eyes to it? My son, agent Doggett, Mulder.
Walter Skinner
Kersh protected you by not telling you reports of Mulder's death. As did Follmer. As did I.
Dana Scully
You call it protection. I call it a systematic effort inside the FBI to eliminate us.
Walter Skinner
You accuse anyone of anything in the FBI, you have to accuse me along with them. Scully, where are you going?
Dana Scully
To find my son.
[ heart monitor beeping ]

Walter Skinner
Hi.
Monica Reyes
Hi. His hands are so cold.
Walter Skinner
Have you talked to the doctors yet?
Monica Reyes
They say the good news is that there's no swelling of the brain but they were very frank that he could just never wake up. I wonder if he can hear us.
Walter Skinner
There'd be soldiers in vietnam, bodies turned inside out. I'd hold their hands just like you're doing. Tell them it was going to be okay.
Monica Reyes
Do you think it helped? Talking to them?
Walter Skinner
Well, I always thought it was like-- like praying. Even if they can't hear, maybe... God can.
[ phone ringing ]
Monica Reyes
Hello.
Dana Scully
How's he doing?
Monica Reyes
No change.
Dana Scully
I need to see you right away, Monica. Are you alone right now?
Monica Reyes
Skinner's here with me.
Dana Scully
I'd prefer if Skinner didn't know.
Scene 05
Scene 05
Dana Scully
We found her.
Monica Reyes
Who?
Dana Scully
The woman that took William. She's a wanted felon and a part of the UFO cult that the FBI was investigating. I need anything that you can find on her, Monica, but I need you to get it quietly.
Unidentified speaker
"access denied"? Yeah, we'll see about that.
Monica Reyes
If they ID'd the woman then why isn't the FBI investigating it?
Dana Scully
I asked them not to tell the FBI.
Monica Reyes
What are you doing, Dana?
Dana Scully
I'm trying to get my son back.
Melvin Frohike
We're locked on.
Richard Langly
Like there was ever a doubt.
John Fitzgerald Byers
Which brings us that much closer to finding William. Langly's inside the system.
Richard Langly
I'm hacked inside the phone company. Going to use their mainframe to scan the map for a locator signal.
Dana Scully
Before William was kidnapped, Byers was able to tuck a cell phone under the padding of the baby's car seat.
Melvin Frohike
Call the phone, and Langly can use the signal to find its location. Find the phone, find the baby.
Monica Reyes
You mean, assuming the kidnapper hasn't found the phone.
[ rapid busy signal on phone ]
John Fitzgerald Byers
We'll keep trying.
[ beep ]
[ gun cocking ]
Monica Reyes
This is madness, and you know it. They failed you once with your child. They're going to fail you again.
Dana Scully
Then I'll find him myself.
Monica Reyes
You can't do this alone.
Dana Scully
Look, what alternative do I have... When the FBI is all but telling me they think that my son is already dead?
John Fitzgerald Byers
We've got a signal... In warfordsburg, pennsylvania off the interstate.
Dana Scully
You coming with me? Or am I going alone?
[ cell phone vibrating ]

Scene 07
Josepho
Have you got him?
Overcoat Woman
Yes. He's safe. We're here.
Josepho
We need to go carefully now. I want you to stay where you are. I'm sending someone to get you, all right?
Overcoat Woman
Yes.
[ low rumbling ]
Cult Man #1
It's moving. It's moving!
[ rumbling and grating ]
[ rumbling continues ]
[ humming ]
[ all gasp ]
[ pounding ]
Josepho
Can you hear me? We need some tools. Go get some tools! Come on, move it!

Scene 09
ST. MARY MEDICAL CENTER]
Monica Reyes
John Doggett-- where is he? He's not in his bed.
Nurse
They've taken him down to radiology to run a cat scan. Would you like me to call down to his doctor?
Monica Reyes
No. No, I was just worried. I'm sorry.
Scene 10
Scene 10
Monica Reyes
What?
Brad Follmer
Nothing. I've known you a long time and this just seems, uh, a little traditional for you.
Monica Reyes
Maybe when you're lost, you knock at the door with the porch light on.
Brad Follmer
Hey, hey. I want you to know, I'm doing all I can to find the woman who did this. Even though we got people inside the FBI working against us. It was foolish going after her by yourselves. We could have been there long before you, Monica. Could have even captured the suspect. Instead, she got away.
Monica Reyes
This is complicated, brad. If you came in here to bust me--
Brad Follmer
No. No. I came here to ask for your cooperation. Not sharing information creates an atmosphere of distrust and then I'm less apt to share my information with you.
Monica Reyes
What haven't you shared with me?
Brad Follmer
This FBI agent who tried to kill Scully's baby has come around. He's got something he wants to tell us.
Monica Reyes
What?
Brad Follmer
I need your cooperation.
Scene 11
Scene 11
Monica Reyes
You said he tried to tell you something. How is that possible?
Brad Follmer
He didn't tell me exactly. He wrote it down.
Monica Reyes
I don't know what this means.
Brad Follmer
I don't know either. But it means something. And I want to know what.
Scene 12
Scene 12
Dana Scully
Just tell me where you got this.
Monica Reyes
You know what it means?
Dana Scully
Robert comer wrote this, didn't he? The FBI agent who tried to kill my son. And how did you get it?
Monica Reyes
I got it under the condition that I share what I learn from you.
Dana Scully
Take it.
Monica Reyes
What is it? What does it mean?
Dana Scully
If I don't tell you you're good on your word, right? That means that you've learned absolutely nothing from me.
Monica Reyes
Where are you going?
Dana Scully
To the hospital.
Monica Reyes
Hey, it doesn't work that way.
Dana Scully
Look, this began when the agent lying in that hospital crashed his motorcycle running the border from canada. Somehow, he got to Washington without a scratch and he tried to kill my son. Now, tell me, how did he do that, Monica? With something I found in his jacket pocket in a jacket that he wore to my house that I put three shots in.
Monica Reyes
The artifact-- a piece of the ship.
[ heart monitor beeping ]
[ rumbling ]
[ beeping speeds up ]
Scene 13
Scene 13
Dana Scully
Let go.
Monica Reyes
Oh, my god.
Dana Scully
Let go of my hand. Turn off the monitors, or they're going to alert somebody.
[ shuts off heart monitor ]
[ gags ]
Dana Scully
Now tell me who sent you to kill my son or I will take that pillow from under your head and make them the last breaths that you take.
Agent Comer
Your son has to die. I'm not what you think. Please-- please-- the FBI sent me undercover on a man named josepho to get inside his cult whose followers believe an alien race will rule the world.
[ gasping ]
Agent Comer
One day, god told josepho to lead us a thousand Miles north to find a ship buried in the ground. You have a piece of that ship in your hand. Josepho believes that that ship is a temple which houses the physical manifestation of god.
Dana Scully
Are you saying that god asked you to kill my child?
Agent Comer
No. Josepho said god spoke to him of a miracle child. A future savior coveted by forces of good and evil. Josepho believes your son is this child.
Dana Scully
Then why does he want to kill him?
Agent Comer
He doesn't. He wants to protect him. Josepho believes your son will follow in his father's paths and try and stop the aliens' return. Unless his father was to be killed. That is the prophecy.
Monica Reyes
You came here to kill her son against this man and his cult? To stop them? Are you saying you believe this prophecy but acted alone?
Dana Scully
What he's saying is that Mulder is dead. That that's true. That they killed him to fulfill this prophecy.
Agent Comer
And that your son must die too. Or everyone... All of mankind will perish from earth. Please-- please, let me-- please-- please--
Nurse
What is going on here?
Toothpick Man
What are you doing in here?
Nurse
They turned off all the monitors. They removed his intubation.
Toothpick Man
What are you doing in here?
Dana Scully
This patient does not need support. He's breathing on his own.
Toothpick Man
Step outside. Both of you. Let's go. Get me a.d.s Follmer and Skinner.
Scene 14
Scene 14
Josepho
It's not working. You weren't followed?
Overcoat Woman
No.
Josepho
He's safe now. He's safe with us.
[ loud rumbling ]
Scene 15
Scene 15
Brad Follmer
Where are Scully and Reyes?
Toothpick Man
They were told to wait out here.
Brad Follmer
Assistant director... We need Scully and Reyes, now.
Scene 16
Scene 16
Dana Scully
What are we going to tell them?
Monica Reyes
Who?
Dana Scully
The FBI about agent comer. About what just happened. About how he was healed.
Monica Reyes
Just tell them the truth.
Dana Scully
They're not on our side. They will use the truth against us.
Monica Reyes
Dana, you don't believe what you heard in there. You don't believe what that man was telling you.
Dana Scully
How can you doubt him? I mean, after everything that you've just witnessed. After what you saw with my son. I mean, it's-it's exactly what I feared-- that there's something terribly wrong from the very moment that he was conceived.
Monica Reyes
Your child was a miracle, Dana. I don't doubt that the things I've witnessed are any less miraculous. But your son is not an abomination a thing that should cease to exist. You tell me on that ship is written scripture from the world's great religions. Tell me a religion that decrees the death of a child. Not just your child, but any child. This is a man saying these things to us. How many religions warn of false prophets? Men sent to deceive us? The only thing that I believe is that your son may still be alive and we can find him and save him. And with that object in that room we can save agent Doggett too.
Walter Skinner
You two better get out of here. Agent comer's dead.
Monica Reyes
What?
Scene 17
Scene 17
Monica Reyes
This man was alive. You saw him. He was alive. Somebody was in here. Where did it go?
Brad Follmer
Where did what go?
Monica Reyes
This man had something in his hand. A small piece of metal. It's what revived him. I-it's why he could be taken off life support.
Nurse
A piece of metal? I don't know what she's talking about.
Monica Reyes
Who else came into this room?
Nurse
Why are you questioning me?
Monica Reyes
Did you leave the room?
Brad Follmer
Agent Reyes.
Monica Reyes
This woman came in here, and this man was alive. He was more than alive. He'd been healed. He'd been brought back to life. This man was murdered, but it wasn't by us.
Brad Follmer
Agent Reyes.
Monica Reyes
Who else was in here? You were in here.
Toothpick Man
I came in and found you.
Monica Reyes
Were you alone in here? Was he alone in here?
Toothpick Man
She went to get the doctors.
Monica Reyes
Search this man.
Toothpick Man
For what?
Brad Follmer
Monica!
Monica Reyes
Scully saw it. Ask agent Scully. Agent Scully-- where's Scully? Agent Scully.
Scene 18
Scene 18
Dana Scully
I never meant for this. All that's been lost. I never meant to put you at risk-- to risk losing you too. She's fighting for you. Monica's out there trying to find a way. And she's not going to let you go.
John Doggett
Agent Scully.
Dana Scully
Agent Doggett. Oh!
John Doggett
I heard someone talking.
Dana Scully
Yeah, that was me. That was me talking to you.
John Doggett
No, it wasn't you. They're going to come to you, but you can't trust them. Do you understand that?
Monica Reyes
Scully. Oh, my god.
[ cell phone rings ]
Dana Scully
Scully.
Josepho
Listen carefully, agent Scully. You want to see your son? You come alone and you follow my instructions to the letter.
[ car approaching ]
[ engine stops ]
[ car door opens, closes ]
Scene 19
OUTSIDE CALGARY, CANADA
Josepho
Sorry to keep you waiting but I had to make sure you were alone. I only wish to protect the boy from those who'd harm him. He's a very special boy.
Dana Scully
I came here to take him back.
Josepho
"behold, a whirlwind came out of the north "and a brightness was about it. "and out of the midst "came the likeness of four living creatures, and they had the likeness of a man." that's the bible. Did you know it?
Dana Scully
Ephesians.
Josepho
The bible... Describing giants who walk the earth. Who'd believe it? Only the faithful and we who have seen them. These... Super soldiers. The true sons of god.
Dana Scully
I want to see my son.
Josepho
You struggle to believe. It's so incredible but your son will lead this alien race. He was put here to lead. I'll bring you to him, to see your son. After you do something for me. After you bring something I need. Confirmation that Mulder's dead.
Dana Scully
You killed Mulder?
Josepho
No. I believed he was dead... But now I have reason to doubt that. And if he's alive he's the one thing preventing your son's true destiny.
Dana Scully
You told me I could see my son. You lied.
Josepho
If you want to see the boy, you'll bring me the head of Fox Mulder.
Dana Scully
Get ready, Monica.
Monica Reyes
Hold on.
Melvin Frohike
His car is wired.
Monica Reyes
Here we go.

That transponder will track this guy driving under water to brazil.
John Fitzgerald Byers
Langly. What just happened?
Monica Reyes
We're coming to a turn. Is this it?
Melvin Frohike
Uh, yeah. Turn.
Monica Reyes
I think they lost the signal.
Dana Scully
They have to get it back.
Richard Langly
Piece of crap!
Melvin Frohike
Hey, louder, why don't you?
John Fitzgerald Byers
Tell them we're working on it.
Melvin Frohike
Here, you be the messenger.

I came to give you a ride home. They told me you were in here.
John Doggett
Yeah.
Monica Reyes
I came in here and prayed for you.
John Doggett
Yeah, I know. This voice in my head, it was-- it was talking to me, telling me to get up, telling me to warn Scully about this man. I mean, was it you talking to me?
Monica Reyes
I only prayed for your life.
Scene 25
FBI HEADQUARTERS
Brad Follmer
Uh, deputy director?
Alvin Kersh
Mr. Follmer.
Brad Follmer
Sir, it's, um-- it's about that report you have there. The investigation of special agent robert comer's death.
Alvin Kersh
Yes?
Brad Follmer
As you know, a.d. Skinner refused to sign it, believing that agent comer was murdered in his hospital bed.
Alvin Kersh
But you did sign it, isn't that right, mr. Follmer? Finding nothing to support that allegation.
Brad Follmer
Well, that's just it, sir. I did find something. The monitors in agent comer's room, they recorded his condition moment by moment, showing that his vital signs did improve just before his equipment was unplugged. They did, in fact, return back to normal.
Alvin Kersh
And you have an explanation for that, yes?
Brad Follmer
No, sir, I don't.
Alvin Kersh
And you want what?
Brad Follmer
I just want to take my name off it.
Alvin Kersh
Maybe if you weren't so busy backpedaling, mr. Follmer, you might get me an explanation. Excuse me. I'm sure you heard all of that. Congratulations. It would appear now that everything is dead but this case.
Toothpick Man
I'm sure I can take care of that, deputy director. Quite sure.
