GGuard
What are you thinking?
Where am I?
GGuard
Wrong answer! (hits the wall next to Mulder with a club) What are you thinking?
..I'm thinking about getting the hell out of here.
GGuard
Wrong.. answer! (He hits Mulder and walks to the door of the cell) No sleeping!
GGuard
What are you thinking?
About my son.. about his mother.
GGuard
Wrong answer! (He swings at Mulder and misses) What are you thinking?
What do you want from me?!
GGuard
Wrong.. answer! (He swings at Mulder again, they grapple before the guard throttles Mulder with his baton) I want answers, you hear me? I want answers! (he leaves)
You saw him? Mulder?
They've accused him of murder?
And they have him believing that he did it.
Of murdering who?
Knowle Rohrer.
Knowle Rohrer? It can't be. I watched Knowle Rohrer die.
He can't die. Knowle Rohrer's a super soldier.
(Skinner hangs up phone) Mulder side-stepped security at a facility known as Mount Weather - a place where they say our so-called shadow government is installed.
What about this murder charge?
Thirty government workers are ready to testify they witnessed Mulder push a military officer to his death.
Killing a man who can't be killed? (Scully begins to leave, Doggett turns to her) Where are you going?
..To beg mercy with the man upstairs.
Mulder.. Mulder!
(makes a smirking face) ..I smelled you coming, Clarice.
Oh.. Damn it, Mulder. It's not funny to see you putting on that act.
No, that is funny. What's not funny is what they do to you in here if you don't put on that act.
[They embrace, Skinner averts his eyes allowing them a little privacy]
(moves to hug Skinner) Come here, you big, bald, beautiful man.
The only thing you're going to be kissing, Mulder, is your sweet ass good-bye, with the trouble you're in.
Uh-huh, I kind of gathered that, right around the 50th brainwashing session. (he kisses Scully on the hand)
Mulder, why are they doing this to you?
They think they're preparing me for my trial - For my testimony.
Mulder, it's me.
Oh. Is it time to go?
No. That's why I'm here. Mulder, I need you to talk to me. Confide in me.. or we'll lose.
We can't win, Scully. We can only hope to go down fighting.
You're scaring me. Mulder, I'm so scared that I've just got you back and now I'm going to lose you again.
I know what I'm doing.
Well.. whatever you're doing... you have no idea how much has already been lost... What I've had to do...
I do know. Skinner told me.
Our son, Mulder... I gave him up. (cries and hugs Mulder) ..Our son. I'm so afraid you could never forgive me.
I know you had no choice. I just missed both of you so much.
God, where have you been? Where have you been hiding?
In New Mexico.
Doing what?
Looking for The Truth.
You found something, didn't you? Huh? What did you find?
I can't tell you.
You found something in that facility? That's what you were doing, right? Mulder, what did you find out there?
Scully, I can't tell you.
That doesn't make sense.
You've got to trust me, Scully. I know things. It's better you don't.
I know why you're here and what you want. I can't give it to you.
Make them a deal, Mulder. Guilty on a lesser charge. Maybe they'll go for it and they'll let you walk out of here.
I'd rather die, Scully.
How can you say that? How can you say that, Mulder, to me?
Because this is greater than you or me. This is about everything we've worked for for nine years. The truth that we both sacrificed so much to uncover and to expose.
Well, then, expose it, Mulder! Take the stand. Whatever it is that you're withholding, take the stand and hit them full force.
I can't.
Why?
I just can't.
You say this is greater than us, and maybe it is, but this is us fighting this fight, Mulder, not you. It's you and me - That's what I'm fighting for, Mulder. You and me.
[Scully leaves]
XX
Get up.
Who's that? Who's there?! (X steps forward) ..What are you doing here?
XX
That's what I'm here to ask you.
..I'm putting the truth on trial.
XX
What truth? Who's truth? You think these men will even hear it?
They're afraid to hear it.
XX
They're not afraid. They have too much power to be afraid. You're going to learn that just like I did. You'll die learning it.
I'm not afraid of that.
XX
There's a truth even you're afraid to speak now, because you know it's futile.
No. Because I refuse to accept it.
XX
Then you're going to need help.
How can you possibly help me?
[X hands him a piece of paper with Marita Covarrubias' name & address on it]
