"We wanted... to believe." "We wanted to call out." "On August 20 and September 5, 1977, two spacecrafts were launched... from the Kennedy Space Flight Center, Florida." "They were called Voyager." "Each one carries a message." "I send greetings on behalf of the people of our planet." " We step out of our solar system into the universe, seeking..." "A gold-plated record depicting images, music and sounds of our planet, arranged so that it may be understood if ever intercepted..." " by a technologically mature extraterrestrial civilization." "Hello from the children of planet Earth." "Thirteen years after its launch," "Voyager I passed the orbital plane of Neptune... and, essentially, left our solar system." "Within that time, there were no further messages sent." "Nor are any planned." "We wanted to listen." "On October 12, 1992," "NASA initiated the High Resolution Microwave Survey:" "A decade-long search by radio telescope scanning ten million frequencies... for any transmission by extraterrestrial intelligence." "Less than one year later, first-term Nevada Senator Richard Bryan... successfully championed an amendment which terminated the project." "I wanted to believe, but the tools had been taken away." "The X-Files had been shut down." "They closed our eyes." "Our voices have been silenced." "Our ears are now deaf to the realms of extreme possibilities." "I send greetings on behalf of the people of our planet." "We step out of our solar system into the universe, seeking only peace and friendship..." "Cecil and me..." "We went over to that one strip joint." "Yeah?" "You treat yourself?" "Oh, man, let me tell you." "You know that one, Tuesday?" "Wait, wait." "You went on Tuesday?" " That's the stripper's name:" "Tuesday." " Oh, yeah." "I know her." "Anyway, she's on stage, dancing to that Offspring song, "Come Out and Play. "" " Nice touch." " Very hot." " Keep going." " So I'm tipping her big... five spots." " I'm laying them down on the rail:" "Boom, boom, boom." " You're liking it." "By the end of the song, I had like $40 laid out on the rail." "It's not a long song, is it?" "It is advantageous to begin an autopsy... with removal of the cranium." "The cranium is opened with a horizontal division... an inch above the eyebrow ridges." "Is something wrong?" "What this man imagined... his dreams, who he loved, saw, heard, remembered... what he feared..." "Somehow, it's... all locked in this small mass of tissue and fluid." "Are you okay, Agent Scully?" "You sounded a little spooky." "Good afternoon, Agent Mulder." "Four dollars for the first hour of parking is criminal." "What you got better be worth at least 45 minutes." "You know, Mulder, from... from back there, you looked like him." " "Him"?" " Deep Throat." "He's dead, Scully." "I attended his funeral at Arlington through eight-power binoculars... from a thousand yards away." "Now, the picture frame was turned down." "You wanted to talk." "What have you found?" "I wanted to talk, but I haven't found anything." " It's dangerous for us just to have a little chat, Scully." "We must assume we're being watched." " Mulder, I haven't seen any indication..." " No, no, of course not." "These people are the best." "I've taken all of the necessary precautions." "I have doubled back over my tracks to make sure I haven't been followed." "And no one has ever followed me." "The X-Files have been terminated, Mulder." "We have been reassigned." "What makes you think they care about us anymore, anyway?" "So why have you bothered to come here covertly?" "Because I realized it was the only way that you would see me." " So what do you want?" " To know that you're all right." "Mulder, you passed me today within a foot, but you were miles away." "They've got me on electronic surveillance:" "White bread cases, bank fraud, insurance fraud, health care swindles." "I know that you feel..." "frustrated... that without the Bureau's resources it's impossible for you to continue..." " No." " What then?" "When the Bureau first shut us down, you said you would go on for as long as the truth was out there." "But I no longer feel that from you." "Have you ever been to San Diego?" "Yeah." "Did you check out the Palomar Observatory?" "No." "From 1948 until recently, it was the largest telescope in the world." "The idea and design came from a brilliant and wealthy astronomer... named George Ellery Hale." "Actually, the idea was presented to Hale one night... while he was playing billiards." "An elf climbed in his window and told him to get money... from the Rockefeller Foundation for a telescope." "And you're worried that all your life you've been seeing elves?" "In my case..." "little green men." "But, Mulder... during your time with the X-Files, you've seen so much." "That's just the point." "Seeing is not enough." "I should have something to hold onto." "Some solid evidence." "I learned that from you." "Your sister's abduction." "You've held onto that." "I'm beginning to wonder if... if that ever even happened." "Mulder... even if George Hale only saw elves in his mind, the telescope still got built." "Don't give up." "And next time..." "We meet out in the open." "She had erased a conversation between President Nixon... and H. R. Haldeman while transcribing the subpoenaed tape." "And H. R. Haldeman while transcribing the subpoenaed tape." "Woods testified that she erased only about five minutes of the conversation, but the tape contained an 18-minute gap." " Under investigation from Senator Howard Baker," " Scout." "H.R. Haldeman reiterated the White House explanation that Rosemary Woods mistakenly..." " Do we have to watch this, Fox?" " Leave it." "I'm watching The Magician at 9:00." "Mom and Dad said I could watch some movie, butt-munch." "They're next door at the Galbrands, and they said I'm in charge." "Hey!" "Get out of my life!" "I'm watching The Magician." "Now, look, the fuse is blown." "Fox." "Samantha!" "Samantha!" "Samantha!" "Samantha!" "We're going to the hill." "Senator Matheson?" " Do you know this, Fox?" " It's Bach." "Brandenburg Concerto Number 3." "Two." " Good thing it wasn't a DoubleJeopardy question." "Do you know the significance of this piece?" "Well, recalling Music Appreciation with Professor Ganz," "Bach had a genius for polyphonic..." "This is the first selection of music on the Voyager spacecraft." "The first." "Four and a half billion years from now, when the sun exhausts its fuel... and swells to engulf the Earth, this expression will still be out there, traveling four and a half billion years." "That is if it's not intercepted first." "Imagine, Fox... if another civilization out there were to hear this." "They would think what a wonderful place the Earth must be." "I would want this to be the first contact... with another life-form." "I know I've let you down." "You've supported me at great risk to your reputation." "I realize when they shut us down, there was nothing you could do." "All I can say is I think we were close." "To what, I don't know." "What?" "Do you like Bach, Mulder?" "I live for Bach." "Then let's hear it again." "I take it you are familiar with the High Resolution Microwave Survey?" "The search for extraterrestrial radio signals." "They shut it down." "You have to get to the radio telescope at Arecibo, Puerto Rico." "I'll try to delay them as long as I can, but my guess is you'll have at least 24 hours." "After that, I can no longer hold off... the Blue Beret U.F.O. Retrieval Team." "And they have been authorized to display terminal force." "What am I looking for?" "Contact." "When did you last see Agent Mulder?" " Yesterday." " Where?" "In the bull pen hallway." "Did you speak with him?" "No." "Is he in some kind of trouble?" "Agent Mulder failed to appear at his assignment this morning." "His whereabouts are unknown." "Sir, I'll volunteer my time to assist in any search." " No, Agent Scully, the Bureau can handle..." "She doesn't know where he is." "How can you be so sure?" "If she knew, she wouldn't be so worried about him." "I don't smoke." "She'll find him." " Gracias." " De nada." "No trace evidence immediately apparent... around the exterior of the control room, which is locked with chains." "Power's been turned off, although the control panel lights are still on." "The room is about 30 by 15." "I see no signs of any recent occupation." "There's quite an odor of mildew in the air." "The air is stale." "If anyone's been here recently, I see no indications." "Mulder, you hounded me to have lunch with you today, and then you don't show." "You're a pig." "Galactic latitude?" "May I ask what you're doing here, Agent Scully?" "Are you following me?" "Agent Mulder's residence is under surveillance." "Please explain why you're here." "I was told by the assistant director that Mulder was gone." "So?" "So whenever he's away, I feed his fish." "What the hell is this?" "Looks like a self-test the computer does." "Damn." "Just dump it in the tank." "That would be bad for the fish." "Hmm." "Who are you?" "What are you doing here?" "It's all right." "Settle down." "Settle down." "¿Hablo Ingles?" "Name." "¿Nombre?" "¿Nombre?" "Jorge." "Me llamoJorge Concepcion." "Jorge, why are you so afraid?" "What have you seen?" "Jorge, no comprende." "Did you say "men"?" "¿Hombres?" "It looks like the Wow Signal." ""The Wow Signal"?" "Ohio State has a radio telescope... that conducts electronic searches for extraterrestrial intelligence." "In August 1977, my buddy, Jerry Ehman, found a transmission on the printout like this." "He was so excited, he wrote "Wow" in the margins." "What was there?" "A signal 30 times stronger than galactic background noise." "It came through on the 21-centimeter frequency, which no satellite transmitters are allowed to use." "The signal was intermittent, like Morse Code." "More importantly, the signal seemed to turn itself on while in the telescope's beam." "The Wow Signal is the best evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence." "But this..." "This is better." "Where did you get this?" "Maybe you can tell me." "Is that from Ohio State?" "Can't tell." "There are a few nickel-and-dime SETI projects around." "U.C. Berkeley has one." "The Planetary Society has one at Harvard and in Argentina." "NASA was working out of Goldstone in California and Arecibo in Puerto Rico." "Mulder." "The signal from 0630 Tuesday:" "The narrowband and exact matching of the antenna pattern... indicates that it originated from beyond lunar distance." "But the same message is trans..." "No!" "Jorge, don't touch that red button." "No-jo on the rojo." "Thanks." "The same message is transmitted four hours later on a wideband, which puts its point of origin very close; just miles away." " I send greetings on behalf of the people of our planet." "It's just a tape machine, Jorge." "Where are we gonna go?" "There's a storm outside." "You can't be afraid, Jorge." "Don't be afraid." "You can't be afraid." "Jorge!" "Jorge!" "Jorge!" "Jorge!" "Passengers holding tickets, please proceed immediately to gate number 16." "Attention, please." "This is a gate change announcement." "Hello, this is Fox Mulder." "Leave a message, please." "C.A. 519. 705. 950." "At the tone," "Eastern Daylight Time will be 5:47 and 40 seconds." "Attention all passengers." "Flight 235 is now boarding at gate number 2." "Relax." "We know where she's going:" "Saint Croix." "Caribbean Air Flight 519." "Takes off at five after 7:00." "Gate's in the other terminal." "I'd like a ticket on the 6:30 flight to San Juan." "Today is..." "The time is 10:30." "Although not a qualified pathologist, I will record my observations of the body... in case at some future time decomposition should obscure forensic evidence." "The subject, perhaps victim, is Hispanic male, undetermined age." "There are no overt external injuries apparent." "There are no indications of any lightning strikes." "No singeing of the hair or burns of any kind." "There are no..." "There are no puncture wounds... due to needles or probes commonly associated with cases of alien abduction." "The subject was discovered in a sitting position, rigor mortis having set in, although less than half an hour had elapsed." "The skin is strikingly affected by gooseflesh." "The body shows signs of intense cadaveric spasm." "The expression reflects..." "My God, Scully, it's as if he's been frightened to death." "Again, Scully, nothing but evidence." "And again, no evidence at all." "The printouts of received transmission indicate contact with another life-form, and yet I cannot see them." "Even if I could see them, would they really be there?" "How do I know this isn't some classified military satellite?" "These transmissions are from the Voyager, for God's sake." "Could extraterrestrials really have intercepted them?" "Or is this just some elaborate joke played on those who want to believe?" "I was sent here by one of those people." "Deep Throat said, "Trust no one. "" "That's hard, Scully." "Suspecting everyone, everything." "It wears you down." "You even begin to doubt what you know is the truth." "Before..." "I could only trust myself." "Now I can only trust you." "And they've taken you away from me." "My life up to this point has been about the need to see her again, to see them." "But what would I do if they really came?" "Deep Throat said, "Trust no one. "" "I was sent here by one of those people." " Deep Throat said, "Trust no one. "" " Trust no one." "No!" "I was sure you were dead." "Mulder, it's Scully." "Dana Scully." "Do you know where you are?" "They came, Scully." "The ones that took her..." "They were here." "Here..." "or here?" "On the tapes." "The tape." "Evidence." "Proof." "The transmissions..." "It's all here." " Proof of what?" " Contact." "These printouts..." "It's here." "And the man..." "We'll have to examine the body." "There will be more proof." "Is that them?" "No, this isn't it." "It's the Blue Beret Crash Retrieval Team." "They'll kill us." " Help me with the body." " We don't have time." " Help me!" " We'll never be able to get the body out of the country." "Mulder, we have to go." "Evidence is worthless if you're dead!" "Let's go!" "Hold your fire!" "Get this truck to the bottom of the hill!" " Yes, sir." " Move!" "Soldiers, move!" "Mulder!" "Damn it." "You left your off-site setup." "Another agent had to cover your ass." "The entire surveillance... all the months of work on this case... gone." "Just like you." "Gone." "This has four-bagger all over it, Mulder." "Censure, transfer, suspension, probation." "I understand that leaving my assignment warrants disciplinary action, and I'm willing to accept those measures." " But?" " But I had enough on that surveillance... to arrest those suspects after three days." "I could have nailed them on 40 counts of bank fraud, but you left me there." "I'm surprised you even noticed I was gone, let alone wiretap my phone, an illegal procedure without a court order." "Your time is over, and you leave with nothing." "Get out." "I said get the hell out." "Report back to your assignment." "A minute ago I was a four-bagger." "Do you want me to make the arrests?" "I think we need more to go on." "Continue the surveillance." "It should be right here." "The entire tape is blank." "An electrical surge in the outlet during the storm... may have degaussed everything, erasing the entire tape." "You still have nothing." "I may not have the X-Files, Scully, but I still have my work." "And I still have you." "And I still have myself." "What's the difference between a lap dance and a table dance?" "A lap dance, they're all over you." "A lap dance costs more?" "All right, all right." "Tell me the best spot." "Where?" " Paramount, but you got to spend money." " I'm there." "Wednesday is she dancing?" "No, don't go Wednesday." " That's amateur night." " Amateur night?" "Nice touch." "They're not really amateurs, but who knows the difference?" "Yeah, sure, sure." "If you don't mind spending the money, girls are all over you." "I'll get a pen and write down directions." "Subtitles By Captions, Inc." "Los Angeles"
