“Existence” · Season 8, Episode 21

In this episode: Fox Mulder (4), Dana Scully (2), John Doggett (1), Alex Krycek (1)

You told me that he told you he knew how to stop Billy Miles. Are you telling me now that you think he's a liar?

He is or he isn't. What the hell difference does it really make?

It doesn't make any difference at all. Unless you want to protect Scully and that baby.

And then what? How long can you keep this up? How long until the next Billy Miles rears his head? The next threat? The next phantom? You ever stop to ask yourself? (Mulder looks a little uncomfortable) All the sacrifice, the blood spilled - you've given nearly a decade of your life. Where the hell is it all going to end?

(thinks for a moment; softly) I don't know. Maybe it doesn't.

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

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

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.

Then there really is no God.

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

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

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.

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

What are you going to call him?

William. (he looks at her) After your father.

[They look into each other's eyes for a moment, then Scully smiles.]

Well, I don't know. He's... he's got your coloring and your eyes. But he looks suspiciously like Assistant Director Skinner.

I don't quite understand that either. Except that maybe he isn't what they thought he was. That doesn't make him any less of a miracle though, does it?

From the moment I became pregnant, I feared the truth... about how... and why. And I know that you feared it, too.

I think what we feared were the possibilities. The truth we both know.

Which is what?

[With William held between them, he leans down and they kiss.]
