“The Gift” · Season 8, Episode 11

In this episode: John Doggett (3), Walter Skinner (1), Melvin Frohike (1), John Fitzgerald Byers (1), Richard Langly (1)

Were you aware Mulder carried a second weapon, a Walther PPK?

Yeah, in an ankle holster.

I found it hidden under his sink. The clip was three rounds shy.

What's this about?

Three shots were fired in a house where Mulder investigated a case last May. He never filed a report on the case or the discharge of his weapon. Do you know any reason why?

If Mulder did these things, he would've reported them.

Mulder submitted case reports, all right but they indicate he was here in Washington on days his cell phone records prove he was in Pennsylvania.

Are you calling Mulder a liar?

(pointing to computer screen) This is the muzzle of Mulder's pistol. You see that there?

It's blowback.

Macrospatter of dried blood in a semi-circular pattern, which indicates Mulder fired close-range at something or someone.

I've heard enough. (starts to leave)

Where are you going?

It's where you're going, Agent Doggett. You're trying to build a case that what? Mulder killed a man and then made himself disappear? That's not what happened. I told you before, he was abducted. I saw it!

Agent Mulder signed falsified case reports.

(angry) Oh, come on, John, this isn't about Mulder, it's about you! Your career. You give the FBI a narrative for Mulder's disappearance, you're off the X-Files and back on the fast-track to the directorship.

I'm just trying to find the truth.

You want the truth? Then ask Agent Scully!

I can't do that.

Why not?

Because she... (sighing) she signed those case reports, too.

(looks at the file; flatly) You take that story to OPR, the accusation alone could cost Scully her job.

I'm not taking it to OPR. I'm taking it to you.

[The Lone Gunmen are talking to Doggett and Skinner via webcam, and are wearing pajamas, bathrobes, etc. They look tired and slightly annoyed.]

We learned what we could. This is somewhat short notice, of course.

And a little outside our area of expertise.

Plus the fact we were sleeping.

You wearing pants, Langly?

Uh...yeah. (hurriedly gets out of the range of the camera)
