I went to your father's funeral. I told your mother that you were going to be okay.
How did you know?
I just knew.
“Paper Clip” · Season 3, Episode 2
In this episode: Fox Mulder (3), Dana Scully (3), Walter Skinner (1), Cigarette Smoking Man (1), John Fitzgerald Byers (1), Richard Langly (1)
I need something to put my back up against, Mulder.
I know. I feel the same way. I feel that we've lost so much... but we've got The X-Files, and I believe what we're looking for is in them. I'm more certain than ever the truth is out there, Scully.
I've heard the truth, Mulder. Now what I want are the answers.
What is this?
This is where you pucker up and kiss my ass!
Listen -
(Interrupting) Now, you listen to me, you son of a bitch! This man's name is Albert Hosteen. You should remember that. Because if Agents Mulder and Scully come down with so much as a case of the flu, Albert is prepared to recite, chapter and verse, file for file, everything on your precious tape.
It's a nice try, Skinner.
I'm sure you're thinking Albert is an old man and there are plenty of ways you might kill him too. Which is why, in the ancient oral tradition of his people, he's told twenty other men the information on those files. So unless you kill every Navajo living in four states... that information is available with a simple phone call. (Smirks) Welcome to the wonderful world of high technology
Are you familiar with a post-World War II project known as Operation Paper Clip?
Our deal with the devil. The U.S. government provided safe haven for certain Nazi war criminals in exchange for their scientific knowledge.
[Points at the picture.] I know who this man is. Victor Klemper.
The man standing next to your father is one of those criminals, though not the most famous of the bunch. Wernher von Braun, designer of the V-2 rockets that leveled London, may be the most notorious, but Victor Klemper certainly takes the prize for the most... evil Nazi to escape the Nuremburg trials.
What did he do?
He experimented on the Jews... drowned them, suffocated them, put them in pressure chambers. All in the name of science.
Together with Von Braun, Klemper helped us win the space race. Using his scientific data on the effects of high-altitude flying, we were able to put astronauts on the moon before the Soviets.
One giant step for mankind.
