Alex Krycek quotes from The X-Files

Krycek

Well, look who's answering the bat-phone.

Alex Krycek

(speaking to Skinner) We all have a life in our hands. I have yours.. you have Mulder's.. and Scully has her unborn child. It's who's willing to sacrifice.

Krycek

Scully's a problem. A much larger problem than you described.

The Cigarette Smoking Man

Every problem has a solution.

They said it'd be like living two lifetimes. At- at first, that's what it was like. Not having to sleep at all made us feel like nothin' could touch us, you know? We'd do 24 hour patrols, night ambushes, you know, and that type of thing.

Mulder

And you never got tired?

No. Not so that we had to sleep. And then, nothing that the pills couldn't fix.

Mulder

Serotonin?

Yeah.

Mulder

How long did this go on?

Quite a while, I'd say. Quite a while - until we stopped taking orders from the company commander in Saigon.

Krycek

You mean the entire squad went AWOL?

Yeah, somethin' like that.

Mulder

Well, then who did you take orders from?

We just made up missions as we went along, until it didn't matter anymore who we were killing. Farmers, women. Outside of Phu Bai, there was this school...they were just kids.

Mulder

All right, what do you want to know?

Alex Krycek

What's the truth? There are things you're not telling me that I need to know.

Mulder

It's just that my ideas usually aren't very popular.

Krycek

I told you, I want to believe. But I need a place to start.

Krycek

Reassigning them to other areas seems to have only strengthened their determination. Scully's a problem. A much larger problem than you described.

The Cigarette Smoking Man

Every problem has a solution.

Scully

Where's Mulder?

Krycek

He traded himself for one of the hostages.

Scully

What?

Krycek

He's in with Duane Barry.

Scully

You've got to get him out of there.

Krycek

Well, they're working on it.

Scully

No, you've got to get him out of there now or he's going to be killed!

Krycek

How can you be sure?

Scully

Because Duane Barry is not what Mulder thinks he is.

The Cigarette Smoking Man

We tell you only what you need to know.

Krycek

I think I have a right to know.

The Cigarette Smoking Man

You have no rights, only orders to be carried out. If you have a problem with that, we'll make other arrangements.

Krycek

If Mulder is such a threat, why not eliminate him?

The Cigarette Smoking Man

That's not our policy.

Krycek

It's not? After what you had me do?

The Cigarette Smoking Man

Kill Mulder and you risk turning one man's religion into a crusade.

Krycek

(slams on door, panting) We gotta get outta here. They’re gonna torture us.

Mulder

How do you know?

Krycek

They questioned me. Trying to get me to confess.

Mulder

To what?

Krycek

To being a spy.

Mulder

(Pins Krycek against the cell wall) What did you tell them?

Krycek

That we were stupid Americans, lost in the woods. Mulder, you’re gonna need me in here. (Mulder lets go of Krycek) ..Don’t touch me again.

Krycek

(speaking in Russian) Under what authority are you corrupting this crime scene?

(responds in Russian) Under the United Nations Charter - Chapter 7, Articles 39 and 42.

Krycek

(chuckles) Your authority isn't recognized here. Nor are your lies.

These are U.N. peacekeepers. This is a mission of mercy.

Krycek

This is a mission of fear. Yours and the men you work for.

(scoffs) I don't know what you're talking about.

Krycek

You go back and you tell them what you've seen here - What you've found.

My name is Marita Covarrubias - I'm a Special Representative to the Secretary General of the United Nations.

Krycek

I know who you are - I know who you work for. Now you go back and you tell them -

Tell them what? What happened here?

Krycek

..Tell them it's all going to hell.

Krycek

You must be losing it, Mulder. I can beat you with one hand.

Mulder

Isn't that how you like to beat yourself?

Mulder

If those were my last words, I can do better.

Krycek

I'm not here to kill you, Mulder. I'm here to help you.

Mulder

(sarcastically) Hey, thanks.

Krycek

You know, if it wasn't in my best interests, I would just as soon squeeze the trigger.

Mulder

What's stopping you?

Krycek

Hear this, agent Mulder. Listen very carefully, because what I'm telling you is deadly serious. There is a war raging, and unless you pull your head out of the sand, you and I and about 5 billion other people are gonna go the way of the dinosaur. I'm talking planned invasion- the colonization of this planet by an extraterrestrial race.

Mulder

(laughing) I thought you were serious.

Krycek

Kazakhstan, Skyland Mountain, the site in Pennsylvania, they're all alien lighthouses where the colonization will begin, but where now a battle is being raged, a struggle for heaven and earth where there is one law: fight or die. And one rule: resist or serve.

Mulder

Serve who?

Krycek

No, not who. What.

Mulder

Krycek, you're a murderer, a liar and a coward. Just because you stick a gun in my chest, I'm supposed to believe you're my friend?!

Krycek

(smiles) Get up. I was sent by a man... a man who knows, as I do, that resistance is in our grasp, and in yours. The mass incinerations were strikes by an alien rebellion, to upset plans for occupation. One of these rebels is being held captive. And if he dies, so does the resistance. [Leans forward and seems to kiss him on the cheek?, then puts his gun away and starts to leave.] (in Russian) Good luck to you, my friend.

Krycek

If I'm so full of crap, why all the precautions?

Skinner

Precisely because you are so full of crap, Krycek.

Skinner

Your ass stays here.

Krycek

(pointing a gun at Mulder) Doesn't seem fair now.. Doesn't seem right. Coming down to this.

Mulder

What do you know about fair or right, Krycek? You're a coward.

Krycek

I could've killed you so many times, Mulder - You've got to know that. I'm the one that kept you alive. Praying you'd win somehow.

Mulder

Then there really is no God.

Krycek

You think I'm bad. That I'm a killer. We wanted the same thing, brother. That's what you don't understand.

Mulder

I wanted to stop them. All you wanted was to save your own ass.

Krycek

No. I tried to stop them. Tried to kill Scully's baby to stop them. It's too late. The tragedy's that you-you wouldn't let it go. That's why I have to do this. 'Cause you know how deep it goes. Right into the FBI.

Mulder

You want to kill me, Alex, kill me. Like you killed my father. Just don't insult me trying to make me understand.

Mulder

(After escaping Knowle Rohrer with help from Krycek's ghost) No! You're dead!

Krycek

Go. There's others. (An alarm rings & Krycek vanishes)
