"..the superior court of the state of Pennsylvania declares case BD-237 closed." "That's why I suggested you file the joint summary with a joint petition..." "Thank you." "No way." "Right." "These craft, where were the majority sighted?" "On route home, me, others,... ..walk on the minefield by base." "Long, black car drive up,... ..no door handle, no window." "No persons drive." "We run." "Mines,... ..explosion, but... ..no sound." "Nothing." "Silent." "You said others." "Any of them with you in America?" "Yes." "Three of us..." "Can you verify..." "Difficult." "KGB still have much power." "We are each mentioned in..." " Hello?" " Hello, Mrs Denunzio, hi." "This is Ed Jerse at Fuller and Siegel." "How are you this morning?" " The kids, you know." " I understand." "I wanted to call and let you in on a stock that's going public next week." "It's so hard after the holidays." "Don't hit her with that!" "I mean it!" "I'm sorry." "What?" "A company in Tucson called Cryo-Cord... ..has achieved an amazing advancement in the technology of cryogenics." "Stem cells from the blood of an umbilical cord... ..may be transplanted in the treatment of diseases such as..." "Loser." "Such as?" " What?" " Diseases such as?" " Before that, what did you say?" " Nothing." "You were talking." "The stock is always gonna come around." " Then I just punch it up here?" " Say it to my face." "Right to my face." "Now that I'm in front of you, call me a loser to my face!" " Calm down." " Trash her desk!" "Why don't you go home, Ed?" "We'll discuss this later." "I made an effort to get out of it, but the Bureau is sticking to its vacation policy." "I haven't taken a day off in four years, so either I go now,... ..or they start not paying me for eight weeks' vacation." "I don't like it, but I gotta do it." "I gotta pay the rent." "I gotta eat." "I can't help thinking this is a way to get me outta here." "But it is only a week, and you'll be here to keep an eye on things for me, so..." "Here's a few things for you to keep an eye on while I'm gone." "Why don't I have a desk?" "What do you mean?" "I always assumed that that was your area." "Back there." "OK, we'll get another desk and there won't be any room to move,... ..but we can put them face-to-face." "Maybe we can play battleship." "What is it you want me to keep an eye on?" "That contact we met last night, who was present for a first." "You abandoning me during questioning." "In the future, all people being interviewed... ..will provide you with a laser show to keep your interest maintained." "In any case, his name is Vsevlod Pudovkin." "He has a doctorate in astronautical engineering." "He and other contacts worked at a military space center in the Republic of Karelia." "They smuggled out reports of two alien craft which were retrieved from the Sea of Barents." "And these reports are for sale?" " At a high price, yeah." " Mm-hmm." "Do you know the identity of these individuals?" "That's your assignment." "I want you to run a Bureau NCIC check on these individuals,... ..all of whom now reside in Philadelphia." "I've also made arrangements for travel so you can administer eye-to-eye surveillance." "I'm not going." "What do you mean?" "Your contact, while interesting in the context of science fiction,... ..was, at least in my memory, recounting a poorly-veiled synopsis... ..of an episode of Rocky and Bullwinkle"." ""Eenie, meenie, chili beanie, the spirits are about to speak"?" "Rocky and Bullwinkle are looking for an upsidasium mine." "Boris Badenov alters the road signs,... ..which causes them to walk onto a secret military base,... ..where they are picked up by a car with no windows, no door locks,... ..and there are silent explosions from a compound called Hushaboom." "You're refusing an assignment based on the adventures of Moose and Squirrel?" "That makes it sound like you're my superior." "Do what you want." "But I worked my ass off to get these files reopened." "You were just assigned." "This work is my life." "And it's become mine." " You don't want it to be?" " This isn't about you." "Maybe it is indirectly." "I don't know." "I feel like I've lost sight of myself, Mulder." "It's hard to see, let alone ﬁnd in the darkness of covert locations." "I wish I could say that we're going in circles, but we're not." "We're going in an endless line." "Two steps towards and three steps back,... ..while my own life is... ..standing still." "Maybe it's good that we get away from each other for a while." " Where will you be?" " Ironically enough, it's personal." "It's a... place I always wanted to go,... ..what I anticipate to be a spiritual journey." "I hope to discover something about myself." "Maybe you should do the same." "Yes, Mrs Shima-Tsuno." "Ma'am, what if I swore to you that it would never happen again?" "I just would like another chance." "I need another chance, Mrs Shima-Tsuno." "Well, that stock I recommended - Virtual Gambling - is up." "Mm-hmm!" "Mm-hmm." "Right." "I understand." "Thank you for your time." "Good bye." ""Thank you for your time."" "If you were any kind of man, you would have told her to kiss your ass." "But no." "Another woman sticks it to ya." "Ain't that right, Eddie?" "I can hear you down there!" "Stop it!" "Knock it off!" "I can hear you!" "Shut up down there!" "Stop it!" "Stop it!" "Knock it off!" "I can hear you!" "I go downtown and roam all around" "But ever street I walk I ﬁnd another dead end" "You hear that?" "It's you, Ed." "It's all about you!" "Knock it off!" "I know there's someone just waitin' somewhere" "I look around for her but she's just not there" "Doesn't somebody want to be wanted?" "Good evening." "My name is Hannah, this is Spencer." " Have you imagined what it would..." " Do you hear that?" "Downstairs." "What I hear is the confusing and troubling sound of..." "She's tryin' to drive me crazy." "We just talked to Miss Schilling and I don't believe she..." "Somehow... she knows what I'm thinking." "I don't want to feel it, but they know,... ..like psychics or somethin' or an implant thing, tryin' to drive me crazy." "They've programmed the TV to criticize me." " ..ﬁnd my way" " There." "You hear it?" "There!" "There!" "There!" "We'll come back some other time." "Mmm, mmm, mmm." "You see?" "Even the Jehovah Witness babe won't waste her time on you." "No woman would." "And you just sit and take it." "Take it like a man." "Just like me." "Hey, what are you doing?" "Get out of here." " I'm no different from anybody else." " Get out of here!" " I'm gonna call the cops!" " I start each day..." "No!" "No!" "Please!" "Get out!" "It gets really lonely all by myself." "Now where is love, and who is love?" "I gotta know." "Doesn't somebody want to be wanted like me?" "Where are you?" "Doesn't somebody want to be wanted like me?" "Just like me" "Doesn't somebody want to be wanted like me?" "Where are you?" "Doesn't somebody want to be wanted..." "Attaboy, lover." "From now on, I'm your right-hand gal." "You and me." "Never again!" "Oh, hey, Scully, it's me." "I'm just calling to see how you're doing." "Give me a call on my cell when you get a chance." "Just let me know where you're at." "Just watch yourself, all right?" " That's not my problem." " You did good work." "Very nice." "It's just like in the window." "But..." "So what?" "Why do you want to cover it?" "Listen, friend, everyone gets tattoo they deserve." "What if you don't cover the whole thing?" "Just the eyes and the mouth." "Even if I say yes, it's too soon." "Skin must heal." "I'll pay you anything." "Miss?" "Miss?" "You." "You like this on his arm?" "Wow." "Uh..." "Eddie?" "The uh... the colour... the red on the lips..." "it's extraordinary." "Something I find in Soviet prison." "I tell him everyone gets tattoo they deserve." " Beautiful, cheap..." " I thought I was your girl." "Tattoo reflect on body what lies in person's soul." "You'd break my heart over a cheap redhead?" "Used the sewing needle, paper clip." "You talk to her, and I'm gonna be bad!" "I find grasses grow in prison yard, rye and such." "Only use now, on that tattoo." "Svo." "Pardon me." " You look." " Mm-hmm." "Thank you." "Mind some advice from a stranger?" "Think it over before you get it done." " You didn't get the tattoo you deserve?" " Mine was, uh, too impulsive." "Never say never?" "Sometimes I wish I were that impulsive." "Careful what you wish for." "There's more fashionable places in the city." "How did you end up here?" "I'm in town visiting my aunt in the neighbourhood." "How about you?" "There's a crummy bar across the street." "It's good for when you're feelin' down,... ..and I was kind of down last week, and, uh..." "So it wasn't so much impulsive as it was hammered?" "Have you, um, seen much of Philadelphia?" "No." "There's a couple of really nice restaurants by the river, if you're interested." "I'd like that." "But, um,... ..l, uh, I'm leaving tonight." "Uh, if you're ever in town again..." "That's my home number." "I work there mainly." " Hello?" " Scully?" " Mulder, what's wrong?" " Nothing." "I'm at that special place, and I wanted to share it with you." "You know Elvis bought the furniture in 30 minutes?" "How did you know where I was?" "I checked where we always stay." "I knew you wouldn't abandon me." "How's the case going?" "I've handed it over to the Philadelphia Bureau." "Philadelphia Bureau?" "They don't know or care about the X-Files." "Mulder, there is no X-File." "Your contact is connected to the Vorovskoi Mir." "Extortion, credit fraud, cons." "He is nothing but a swindler." " How do you know?" " How do I know?" "You assigned me the background check." "I did as told, as always." "Hold off until I get there, OK?" " You don't think I'm capable?" " Of course I do." " It's just that in this case I need you to..." " It's not just in this case." "What's the agent's name in Philadelphia?" "It is over." "Done." "Pudovkin is out of our hands." "Mulder, I have to go." "You got a date or something?" "Y-you're kidding?" "I have everything under control." "I will talk to you later." "Isn't it better this way, baby?" "Me and you alone?" "Women are so petty, jealous,... .. controlling." "That bitch today would have been just like all the others." " Hello?" " Um, hi." "Ed Jerse, please." " This is him." " It's Dana." "We met today." "My flight was canceled because of this storm,... ..and I was just wondering if I could take you up on dinner." "I think it's worth fighting a little snow." "One thing, my... my car is in the shop." " We'll have to meet." " I can pick you up." " Give me an hour?" " Good." "Well, I'll see you then." "Go ahead." "Treat yourself." "This girl is a real doll." "But beauty's only skin deep, baby." "I go all the way to the bone." "Miss Schilling?" " Oh." " She said she'd be here." " I don't understand." " Miss Schilling?" "sigma" "I'm, uh, early." "The storm's not so bad." "It's supposed to get bad later tonight." "Come on in." "I'll be ready in a second." "We can forego the "what a nice place you have" formalities." "Ed, I, uh..." "I don't go out very much." "The last time I went on a date was to see Glengarry Glen Ross,... ..and the characters in the movie had a better time." "Ed, you're bleeding." "Oh, uh, it's just the damn tattoo." "I'm a doctor." "Do you want me to take a look at it?" "No, it's OK." "It's been nothin' but trouble." "I hope you like this place." "I made reservations." "Ed..." "The, uh..." "The crummy bar you told me about..." "Take me there." "So what makes this place a good place to go when you're feeling down?" "It's kinda..." "Everyone here looks like their problems are worse than mine." "Makes me feel good about myself." "You can't tell what's going on in somebody's head by looking at them." "They're probably thinking we're the screwed-up ones." "Are we?" "Who knows?" "I mean, sometimes I, uh..." "I've always gone around in this, uh... ..this circle." "It usually starts when an authoritative or controlling figure comes into my life." "And part of me likes it, needs it,... ..wants the approval." "But then at a certain point,... ..along the way, I just, you know..." "OK." "Um..." "My father was a navy captain." "I worshiped..." "I worship the sea that he sailed on." "And when I was 13 or so, I went through this thing,... ..where I would sneak out of my parents' house... ..and smoke my mother's cigarettes." "And I did it because I knew that if he found out, he would kill me." "And then along the way,... ..there are other fathers." "Sounds a little like your time has come around again." "I want things more like a straight line, and I don't ever want to go backward." "That's why I got the tattoo I deserve." "It marked a moment,... ..a feeling,... ..a memorial of something I never want to have happen again." "I wanna see it." "You know, Dana, just cos I marked the moment,... ..wanting to go toward, doesn't mean that it worked." " I wanna see it." " Come on." "It's all scabbed up." "That's OK." "If you're so curious,... ..get your own." "She wants the same red, like mine." "It's really bad out." "Look, the weather and a few drinks under your belt, I'd feel better if you stayed here." "Hey." "I'm not up to anything." "I just want you to be safe." "I'll take the couch." "The tattoo hurt at all?" "Yeah, um,... ..it feels weird." "I, uh,... ..I can't see it." "I... ..but I feel different." "It's like, uh..." "I don't know how I feel about that." "Yeah..." "It looks all right." "Ed, you're bleeding again." "Will you let me take a look at it?" "I am a doctor." "He said this could happen." "Ed, it looks burned." "Get her hands off of me!" "Those are bad thoughts you're having, baby." "You kiss her, and she's dead." "Adams Inn." " Dana Scully, please." " Thank you." "I'll ring." "I'm sorry, sir." "There's no answer in that room." "Thank you." "I'm Detective Gouveia." "This is Detective Smith." "May we speak with Edward Jerse?" "Uh, I'm sorry." "He's not in." "I don't know where he is." " Were you here the night before last?" " No." "Can I help you with something?" "I'm with the Bureau." "Excuse me." "The resident downstairs, Kaye Schilling, is missing." "Some blood was found in her apartment, not hers." "It had some... abnormalities." "Such as?" "I have a background in forensic medicine." "Anything you divulge to me will be held under strictest confidence." "A preliminary toxicology report found this substance in the blood stains." "The blood type was A, and hers was O." "May I?" "Here's our card." "We'd appreciate Mr Jerse giving us a call when he returns." "And if he doesn't, we will." "OK." " FBI." " Yeah, Fox Mulder, please." "One moment." "Good morning." "What's wrong?" "Ed, sit down." "Some detectives were here." "The woman in the apartment downstairs was reported missing." "They found blood, and I believe it may be yours." "I was helping her move in, and I cut myself." "You need to tell that to the detectives." "But what I'm also afraid of, and this concerns both of us,... ..is that an ergot alkaloid was found in the blood,... ..which is why I think it may have been yours." "Ergot is a parasite that lives off of rye and related grasses." "Svo said that he used rye somehow in his ink." "If this is true, we may be subject to hallucinogenic ergotism." "Aural, visual hallucinations,... ..dangerous and unlikely behaviour." "We need to go to the hospital to be tested." "I don't need that, Dana." "It's such a relief to be able to tell someone." "I hear it, Dana,... ..in my head, only deeper." "It's more than just some chemical reaction." "She talks to me." "She hates women." "My wife, my boss, you." "She's so jealous, Dana." "She makes me do things... ..I don't want to." "But she controls me." "But I believe that you... ..made her go away." "We need to get help." "I'm gonna go into the other room,... ..and I'm gonna come back, and we are gonna go together." "Mmm-mmm?" "Who'd she call?" "Who'd she call, Eddie?" "Come on!" "Aren't you just dyin' to know?" "FBI." " Dana Scully." " Dana Scully." "One moment." "All right, let's go." "Never again!" "Another woman in my bed?" "Burn the sheets, lover." "Burn her." "Burn her!" "Come on, baby." "Come on, baby!" "Do it for me." "Ow!" " This isn't you, Ed!" " Go on, Eddie!" " Get control of yourself." " Ah, but it's good to lose control." " Take control!" " Do it for me, Eddie!" "Do it!" "No!" "Welcome back." "You look better than you did in the hospital." "And congratulations for making a personal appearance in the X-Files for the second time." "It's a world record." "Ed Jerse is in custody at the St John's Burn Center in Philadelphia." "Ergot was found in his bloodstream, and yours,... ..but not to the degree that should cause hallucinogenic ergotism." "He'll undergo psychiatric evaluation after recovering from burn trauma." "Comrade Svo has been shut down... ..and is under investigation for having links to Pudovkin." "Case closed on Boris Badenov, which is a shame,... ..because I was gonna have an NY tattooed on my ass... ..to commemorate the Yankees World Series victory." "Better late than never, huh?" "The, uh... ..field office in Dallas is, uh..." "..receiving reports of an image of a missing child... ..appearing on a blank billboard outside of Arlington." "So..." "All this because I... ..because I didn't get you a desk?" "Not everything is about you, Mulder." "This is my life." "Yes, but it's..." "I made this!"
