"Mulder? SCULLY:" "What are you nottelling me?" "MULDER:" "Ahem." "SCULLY:" "Mulder? The virus may be extraterrestrial." "I don't" "Mulder." "I don't" "[Railroad crossing bell clanging] SCULLY:" "What do you thinkthey are?" "MULDER:" "I have no idea." "This is weird." "Mulder." "Very weird." "Any thoughts as to why anybody would be growing corn... in the middle of the desert?" "Those could be giantJiffy-Pop poppers. [Motors whir] [Motors shut down] SCULLY:" "It's cool in here." "The temperature's being regulated. MULDER:" "Forthe purpose of what?" "SCULLY:" "I thinkwe're on top of a larger structure here." "This is some kind of a venting system." "MULDER:" "You hear something?" "You hearthat?" "[Low-pitched hum] SCULLY:" "I hear a humming." "MULDER:" "Mm-hmm." "SCULLY:" "Like electricity." "High voltage maybe." "Maybe." "Maybe not." "Scully?" "SCULLY:" "Yeah?" "MULDER:" "Run! [Buzzing] Scully?" "SCULLY:" "I can't see! MULDER:" "Give me your hand! [Motors whir] MULDER:" "Did you get stung? I don'tthink so. [Helicopters noises] Talkto me." "Scully!" "Scully!" "Damn it!" "Scully!" "MULDER:" "Hey! Scully!" "Scully! Talkto me." "Scully!" "Mulder! Scully! Mulder!" "MULDER:" "Can you hear me?" "Mulder! Scully! Scully!" "Scully!" "Mulder!" "Scully!" "Scully.talkto me!" "Mulder! SCULLY:" "Where did they go? MULDER:" "Come on. SKINNER:" "She's coming in. CASSIDY:" "Special Agent Scully." "SCULLY:" "I apologize for making you wait." "I have new evidence." "Evidence of what? These arefossilized bonefragments... that I've been able to study... thatwere gathered atthe bomb site in Dallas." "You've been backto Dallas?" "Yes." "Youfound something." "Yeah. on the Texas border." "Some kind of experiment." "Something they excavated was broughtthere in tankertrucks." "What?" "I'm not sure." "A virus." "I think." "And I also have reason to believe that... there may have been some involvement... by Special Agent in Charge Michaud. CASSIDY:" "Those are very serious allegations." "Yes." "I know." "You saw this experiment?" "Yeah. butwe were chased off." "What did it look like?" "There were bees. corn crops." "CASSIDY:" "You have conclusive evidence of this... something to tie your claim to the crime? Not completely conclusive." "I hope to." "butwe are in the process of-- We're working towards gathering that evidence." "Working with? With Agent Mulder." "What are they? What do you think?" "A transportation system." "Transgenic crops." "The pollen genetically altered to carry a virus." "Thatwould be my guess." "Your guess?" "What do you mean.your guess?" "Hey!" "You told me you had answers." "Yeah." "Well." "I don't have them all." "You didn't know myfather." "KURTZWEIL:" "Like I told you." "he and I were oldfriends." "MULDER:" "You've been using me... to gather information foryour goddamn books! Kurtzweil." "Kurtzweil!" "KURTZWEIL:" "You'd be shit out of luckwithout me." "You saw whatyou saw because of me." "I'm putting my ass on the line." "MULDER:" "Your ass?" "I just got chased through Texas by two black helicopters." "Why do you think it is you're standing here talking to me?" "These people don't make mistakes. [Creak] [Knock on door] What's wrong? Salt Lake City." "Utah." "Transfer effective immediately." "I already gave Skinner my letter of resignation." "You can't quit now." "I can." "I debated whether or not even to tell you in person" "We are close to something here!" "We're on the verge." "You're on the verge." "Please don't do this to me." "Afterwhatyou saw last night and all you've seen... you can justwalk away?" "I have." "I did." "It's done." "I need you on this." "You don't need me." "You never have." "I've just held you back." "I gotta go." "You wantto tell yourself that so you can quit... with a clear conscience." "you can." "Butyou're wrong." "Why did they assign me to you in thefirst place?" "To debunkyourwork." "To rein you in." "to shutyou down." "Butyou saved me." "As difficult and asfrustrating as it's been sometimes... your goddamn strict rationalism and science... have saved me a thousand times over." "You kept me honest." "You made me a whole person. MULDER:" "I owe you everything... Scully. and you owe me nothing." "I don't know if I wantto do this alone." "I don't even know if I can." "And if I quit now.they win. SCULLY:" "Ow!" "Jesus." "MULDER:" "I'm sorry." "No." "Something stung me." "It must have gotten in your shirt." "Mulder..." "MULDER:" "Huh?" "Something's wrong." "What?" "I'm having lancinating pain in..." "MULDER:" "What?" "...my chest." "Ohh!" "Scully." "My motorfunctions are being affected." "My pulse is thready." "And I have a... afunny taste in the back of my throat." "I thinkyou're going into anaphylactic shock." "No." "I have no allergies. WOMAN:" "Emergency dispatch." "This is Special Agent Fox Mulder." "I have an emergency." "An agent's down. PARAMEDIC:" "Can you hear me?" "Can you say your name?" "She's got constriction in the throat and larynx." "Passages are open. OK." "let's get her in the van right away." "Look out." "Comin' through." "Watch your back. MULDER:" "She had afunny taste in herthroat... but she's not allergic to bee stings." "The bee that stung her might have been carrying a virus." "PARAMEDIC:" "A virus?" "MULDER:" "Yeah." "Tell the doctor." "PARAMEDIC:" "Radio in an allergic reaction." "MULDER:" "No. a virus." "And I wantto go with you!" "What hospital?" "l-- What hospital are you taking herto? [Siren approaches]" "What are you doing?" "Reading his chart." "Put it down." "When I'm ready." "You two shut up." "I think he's waking." "LANGLY:" "He's coming to. FROHIKE:" "Hey." "Mulder." "Mulder." "Oh." "God." "Cowardly Lion." "Scarecrow. and..." "Toto. MULDER:" "What am I doing here?" "BYERS:" "A bullet glanced off yourtemporal plate." "LANGLY:" "Three centimeters left." "and we'd all be playing harps." "FROHIKE:" "You've been unconscious since you got here." "Where's Scully?" "BYERS:" "We know you called 911... butthat call must have been intercepted." "FROHIKE:" "Scully had a reaction to an Africanized honey bee... wefound in your hall." "MULDER:" "I gotta go lookfor her." "SKINNER:" "Mulder. easy. easy." "You're staying right here. MULDER:" "You don't understand." "It's connected to Dallas." "SKINNER:" "Where is she?" "I'll look." "MULDER:" "I don't know." "but I know someone who might." "You leave here unprotected." "howfarwill you get?" "Howfarwill they letyou get?" "They'll know if you walk out." "LANGLY:" "What can we do? You can strip Byers naked." "What?" "I need your clothes." "It's Mulder. WELL-MANICURED MAN:" "Dr. Kurtzweil. isn't it?" "Dr. Alvin Kurtzweil? WELL-MANICURED MAN:" "Mr. Mulder." "What happened to Kurtzweil?" "He's come and gone." "I wantto know where Scully is." "The location of Agent Scully and the means to save her life." "Please." "What is it?" "A weakvaccine againstthe virus Agent Scully's infected with." "It must be administered within 96 hours." "That leaves you little time to reach those coordinates." "You're lying." "No... though I have no means to prove otherwise." "The virus is extraterrestrial." "We know very little about it... exceptthat itwas the original inhabitant of this planet." "A virus?" "WELL-MANICURED MAN:" "What is a virus... but a colonizingforce that cannot be defeated?" "Living in a cave. underground... until it mutates and attacks." "This is whatyou've been conspiring to conceal?" "A disease?" "No!" "For God's sake." "you've got it all backwards." "AIDS.the Ebola virus-- on an evolutionary scale." "they are newborns." "This virus walked the planet long before the dinosaurs." "What do you mean.walked?" "Your aliens.Agent Mulder." "Your little green men... arrived here millions of years ago." "Those that didn't leave... have been lying dormant underground... since the last lce Age... in theform of an evolved pathogen... waiting to be reconstituted by the alien race... when it comes to colonize the planet... using us as hosts." "Againstthis." "we have no defense." "Nothing but a weakvaccine." "Do you see why itwas kept secret?" "Why. even the best men." "men like yourfather... could not letthe truth be known." "Until Dallas... we believed the virus would simply control us... that mass infection would make us a slave race." "You can imagine our surprise when they began to gestate." "My group has been working cooperatively... with the alien colonists... facilitating programs like the one you saw... to give us access to the virus... in hope thatwe might be able secretly to develop a cure." "To save your own asses." "Survival is the ultimate ideology." "Yourfatherwisely refused to believe this." "But he sacrificed my sister." "He letthem take Samantha." "Without a vaccination... the only true survivors of the viral holocaust... will be those immune to it-- human-alien clones." "He allowed your sister to be abducted... to be taken to a cloning program for one reason." "So she would survive... as a genetic hybrid." "Yourfather chose hope over selfishness." "Hope.the onlyfuture he had." "his children." "His hopeforyou... was thatyou would uncover the truth aboutthe project... thatyou would stop it... thatyou wouldfightthefuture." "Why are you telling me this?" "Forthe sake of my own children." "Once it's learned what I've told you... my life will be over." "Where is Dr. Kurtzweil? I'd like to get out of the car now." "Stopthe car! Driver." "The men I workwith will stop at nothing... to clearthe wayforwhat they believe is their stake... in the inevitablefuture." "I was ordered to kill Dr. Kurtzweil... as I was ordered to kill you." "Ugh." "Trust no one." "Mr. Mulder." "Get out of the car." "Why?" "The upholstery's already ruined." "Get out of the car! You have precious little time. WELL-MANICURED MAN:" "What I've given you... the alien colonists don'tyet know exists." "The vaccine you hold... is the only defense againstthe virus." "It's introduction into an alien environment... may have the powerto destroy the delicate plans... we have so assiduously protected... forthe last 50 years." "MULDER:" "What do you mean." "may have?" "Find Agent Scully." "Only then will you realize... the scope and grandeur of the project. WELL-MANICURED MAN:" "Go! Go now! [Stops motor] Ohh. [Deep hollow whistling] [Ominous creaking noises] Oh. shit." "Aah! CIGARETTE-SMOKING MAN:" "Secure the station." "I want everybody else down below." "if you're not armed." "arm yourselves." "We may have a breach." "Let's go!" "Let's go!" "Come on. move. move!" "Let's go! Scully? [Alarm buzzers]" "There's a contaminant in the system." "Mulder has the vaccine. [Gagging] Breathe." "Scully. can you breathe? SCULLY:" "Cold." "I'm cold." "MULDER:" "I'll getyou out of there. [Shouting] CIGARETTE-SMOKING MAN:" "Abandon your posts!" "Evacuate! [Computer beeping] [Men yelling]" "MAN:" "What's happened?" "CIGARETTE-SMOKING MAN:" "It's all going to hell!" "What about Mulder?" "He'll never make it. [Alarm buzzers]" "Go!" "Move 'em out! [Both grunting] [Scully coughing] We gotto keep moving." "Come on." "I can't." "I can't. Yeah.you can." "Scully. reach up and grabthatvent." "[Growling]" "Grabthe vent!" "Scully? [Growling] Jeez. breathe! Breathe. breathe. breathe. -[Gasps]" "Huh?" "[Coughing] Breathe in." "Breathe in." "Breathe! Mulder." "I had you big time." "Move it." "Oh!" "Pull!" "Come on!" "Pull! Mulder." "Keep moving. SCULLY:" "Ohh." "MULDER:" "Go." "Go. come on! MULDER:" "Almostthere." "Keep going! [Screeching] [Ice creaking] [Rumbling] Scully.you gotto see this." "Scully. CASSIDY:" "ln light of the report I've got before me... and the narrative I'm now hearing... my official report is incomplete... pending these newfacts I'm being asked to reconcile." "Agent Scully.though there's now direct evidence... that afederal agent may have been involved in the bombing... the other events you've laid down here are... too incredible on their own... and quitefrankly." "implausible in their connection." "What is ityoufind incredible?" "Well.where would you like me to start?" "So many of the events described in your report defy belief." "Antarctica is a long way from Dallas.Agent Scully." "I can't submit a report to the attorney general... that alleges the links you've made here." "Bees and corn crops do not quitefall under... the rubric of domestic terrorism. No.they don't." "CASSIDY:" "Most of what lfind in here... is lacking a coherent picture of any organization... with an attributable motive." "I realize the ordeal you've endured... has clearly affected you... though the holes in your account leave us with little choice... butto delete these references... to ourfinal report to the Justice Department... until which time hard evidence becomes available... thatwould give us cause to pursue such an investigation." "I don't believe the FBI currently has... an investigative unit qualified to pursue the evidence in hand. MULDER:" "There's an interesting work offiction on page 24." "Mysteriously." "our names have been omitted." "They're burying this thing." "They're just gonna dig a new hole and cover it up." "I told O.P.R. everything I know." "What I experienced.the virus-- how it's spread by the bees from pollen in transgenic crops." "Wasting yourtime." "They'll never believe you." "Not unless your story can be programmed... categorized." "or easily referenced." "SCULLY:" "We'll go overtheir heads." "No. no." "How many times have we been here before?" "Right here." "so close to the truth." "And now.with what we've seen and whatwe know... to be back atthe beginning with nothing?" "This is different." "No. it isn't." "You were rightto wantto quit and to leave me." "You should get asfar away from me as you can." "I'm not gonna watch you die for my hollow personal cause. MULDER:" "Go be a doctor." "Go be a doctor while you still can." "I can't." "I won't." "I'll be a doctor. but my work is here with you now." "Thatvirus that I was exposed to-- whatever it is. it has a cure." "You held it in your hand." "How many other lives can we save? Look... if I quit now... they win. [Man speaking Tunisian] Oh.you look hot and miserable." "Why have you traveled all this way?" "We have business to discuss." "You have regular channels." "This involves Mulder. Ahh.that name." "Again and again." "He's seen more than he should." "What has he seen?" "Of the whole." "he has seen but pieces." "He's determined now... reinvested." "He's but one man." "One man alone cannotfightthefuture." "Yesterday..." "I received this. [Acoustic rock and roll playing] FOO FIGHTERS: [Singing] Tonight." "I'm tangled... in my blanket of clouds... dreamin' aloud." "Things justwon't do withoutyou... matter offact. Ohh-ohh-ohh..." "I'm on your back." "I'm on your back. Ohh-ohh-ohh..." "I'm on your back. if you'd accept surrender..." "I'll give up some more." "Weren'tyou adored? I cannot be withoutyou... matter offact. Ohh-ohh-ohh..." "I'm on your back. if you walk out on me... I'm walking afteryou. if you walk out on me... I'm walking after... you." "Another heart is cracked... in two." "I'm on your back." "Uh-huh." "I cannot be withoutyou... matter offact. Ohh-ohh-ohh..." "I'm on your back." "I'm on your back. Ohh-ohh-ohh..." "I'm on your back. if you walk out on me..."
