Why'd you come here if you'd already made up your mind?
(smiling) Because I knew you'd talk me out of it if you thought I'd made a mistake.
S5 E2Redux II
But I've come today not to ask, but to offer. To offer you the truths that you so desperately sought - about the project, about the men who conspired to protect it...
I know the truth.
Do you?
I spoke to one of your men.
Do you know he's not a liar?
I've seen enough to know he's not a liar, yeah.
You've seen but scant pieces of the whole.
What more can you show me?
This man you spoke to - Michael Kritschgau.. He's deceived you with beautiful lies. He's told you that everything you ever believed about the existence of extraterrestrial life is untrue.
(nods) What are you saying?
As I said, I'm offering you the chance to know the truth.
In exchange for what?
Quit the FBI. Come work for me. You can make your problems go away.
(pauses) No deal.
(smiles) After all I've given you?
(in disbelief) What have- What have you given me? The claim of a cure for Scully? Is she cured? You show me my sister only to take her right back? You've given me nothing.
I intend to keep my promises. I just need something from you.
You murdered my father. You killed Scully's sister. And if Scully dies, I will kill you. I don't care whose father you are, I will put you down.
Well you're certainly capable, so I've been told. I understand you have a hearing tomorrow, where you'll have to testify to these murderous impulses of yours. [Mulder walks away] ..When you reconsider, the offer still stands.
BSBill Scully
You really believe this crap, don't you?
Yes, I do.
BSBill Scully
You see, she's your big defender, but.. I think the truth is, she just doesn't wanna disappoint you.
Well, if it works, I don't care what you think she thinks.
BSBill Scully
You're a real piece of work, you know that, Mr. Mulder?
Why is that? Because I don't think the way you think? Because I won't just sit passively back and watch the family tragedy unfold?
BSBill Scully
You're the reason for it. And I've already lost one sister to this quest you're on. Now I'm losing another. Has it been worth it? To you, I mean. Have you found what you've been looking for?
No.
BSBill Scully
"No." You know how that makes me feel?
In a way, I think I do. I lost someone very close to me - I lost a sister.. I lost my father - all because of this thing I'm looking for.
BSBill Scully
This what? Little green aliens?
Yeah. Little green aliens.
BSBill Scully
You're one sorry son of a bitch. Not a whole lot more to say.[leaves]
(after his phone rings) One sorry son of a bitch speaking.
Four years ago, while working on an assignment outside the FBI mainstream I was paired with Special Agent Dana Scully who I believe was sent to spy on me. To debunk my investigations into the paranormal. That Agent Scully did not follow these orders is a testament to her integrity as an investigator, a scientist, and a human being. She has paid dearly for this integrity.
SCSection Chief Scott Blevins
Agent Mulder, Agent Scully lied straightfaced to this panel about your death.
She lied because I asked her to. Because I had evidence of a conspiracy, a conspiracy against the American people.
SSenior Agent
We've already heard testimony to these allegations Agent Mulder.
AND a conspiracy intended to destroy the lives of those who would reveal its true purpose. To conduct experiments on unwitting victims to further a secret agenda for someone within the government operating at levels without restraint or responsibility, without morals or conscience. Men who pretend to honor as they deceive, the price of this betrayal the lives and reputations of those deceived. Agent Scully...is lying in a hospital bed right now, diagnosed with terminal cancer. A victim of these same tests, conducted without her knowledge or consent. By these same men, who as they try to cover their tracks, who suborne and persecute the same people they have used in their plot, I will NOW call by name.
SSenior Agent
Agent Mulder did you, or did you not shoot the man found dead in your apartment?
I will answer that question, Sir.
SCSection Chief Scott Blevins
Did you shoot Scott Ostlehoff? Employee of the Department of Defense?
I will answer that question, Sir.
SSenior Agent
Answer the question asked, Agent Mulder!
I will answer the question after I name the man!
SCSection Chief Scott Blevins
AGENT MULDER!
I will answer that question after I name the man who's responsible for Agent Scully! The same man who directed that my apartment be surveilled by the DoD. A man I want to see prosecuted for his crimes! Who's sitting in this very room as I speak!
SSenior Agent
Agent Mulder, the Section Chief has asked you a question you are going to answer!
I can't do that, sir!
SSenior Agent
You can and you will!
I can't do that, sir because the Section Chief is the man I'm about to name!
[Mulder is sitting on a chair in the hospital. Skinner approaches and sits next to him.]
The Smoking Man's dead.
How?
Shot through his window. [Hands Mulder a photo of young Mulder and Samantha] Forensics found it at the scene. We're assuming it's his blood.
Assuming?
Well no body was found, though there was too much blood lost for anyone to have survived. (sighs) This afternoon when you named Blevins... how did you know?
I didn't. I just guessed.
Well it was a hell of a guess. Blevins had been on payroll for four years to a biotechnology company called Roush, which is somehow connected to all this.
Well, I'm sure whatever connections there were, they're being erased right now.
They're cleaning up, taking everything away.
Not everything.. Scully's cancer's gone into remission.
(looks shocked) That's unbelievable news.
(grins) It's the best news I could have ever heard.
What turned it around?
I don't know. I don't think we'll ever know.
Can I see her?
Yeah, she's in there with her family right now, but I'm sure she'd love to see you.
[Skinner heads in to her room, where Scully and her family are waiting. She smiles at him. He enters and shuts the door; Mulder sits outside staring at the picture of himself and Samantha and begins to cry.]
S5 E3The Unusual Suspects
(to Langly) With that long blonde hair, you'll be the first one in here who gets traded for cigarettes, and I'm gonna be laughing my ass off.
Me and the narc have a proposition for you.
What proposition?
The coolest hack in the world.
(smiles) Say it. (Frohike hesitates) Say it...
(grudgingly) ...Your kung fu is the best.
Last week, I got into the Maryland DMV to change my endorsements so I could handicap park.
It's all true what Susanne said about you people isn't it?! About John F. Kennedy.. Dallas?
XX
(turns to Byers) ...I heard it was a lone gunman.
JMDetective John Munch
[stands at the cell door as Byers, Frohike and Langly exit lockup] Here's a tip - aluminum foil makes a lovely hat, and it blocks out the government's mind control rays - Keep you guys outta trouble.
S5 E4Detour
KAgent Kinsley
Last year was something of a personal revelation. We were doing an exercise called "Team Builders," where we were given two minutes to build a tower out of ordinary office furniture.
SAgent Stonecypher
When I stood on Mike's shoulders and I put that electric pencil sharpener on top of the pile, we both knew - we could never have done it alone.
(leaning over to Scully, whispering) Kill me now.
KAgent Kinsley
You ever been to one of these team seminars, Agent Scully?
Um... I think I went to a constructive problem-solving course when I first joined the bureau.
SAgent Stonecypher
Oh did you play that game where you can't use any negative words?
KAgent Kinsley
I couldn't believe how hard it was not to use the word "but!"
(falsely enthusiastic) I'm having that same problem right now!
SAgent Stonecypher
Have you ever been to a team seminar, Agent Mulder?
(grinning at Scully) No. You know, unfortunately around this time of year, I always develop a severe hemorrhoidal condition.
KAgent Kinsley
Well, it builds muscles you didn't even know you had.
SAgent Stonecypher
Communication. That's the key.
[A police officer waves them down and the car stops.]
OOfficer
Sorry folks, it'll be a few minutes.
KAgent Kinsley
What's going on?
OOfficer
Got a little situation, that's all.
(opens the car door and bolts) Thank you, Jesus.
KAgent Kinsley
[The three left in the car watch as Mulder walks off] Where's he goin'?
[Approaches Mulder in the woods as Michele Fazekas walks away] Mulder? We've got this conference. They're waiting.
Yeah. How do I say this without using any negative words, Scully?
You want me to tell them that you're not gonna make it to this year's teamwork seminar.
See? [Puts his hands on her arms and grins.] We don't need that conference! We have communication like that unspoken! You know what I'm thinking!
[Smiles and shakes her head]
[Mulder is on his computer when there's a knock on the door.]
It's open.
[Scully enters with a tray with a bottle of wine, two glasses, and some cheese]
Who cut the cheese?
(rolls eyes, explains) Since you won't be making it to the conference.
Mmm! Par-tay!
However, I must remind you that this goes against the bureau's policy of male and female agents consorting in the same motel room while on assignment.
Try any of that "Tailhook" crap on me, Scully, I'll kick your ass.
Where are you going?
I've gotta check something out.
You know, Mulder, sometimes I think some work on your communication skills wouldn't be such a bad idea.
I'll be back soon, and we can build a tower of furniture. (grins) Okay?
[Scully shakes her head, smiles and drinks her wine]
(about whatever monster is lurking in the forest) Maybe it can regulate its temperature. You don't know of any animal that can?
Ticks. I've heard they can halt their metabolism for up to 18 years, essentially going in to suspended animation until something warm-blooded comes along.
That's interesting.
Why is that interesting?
Thirty years ago, the town of Point Pleasant, West Virginia, was terrorized for over a year by something. Killing livestock, terrorizing the people. Witnesses described them as primitive-looking men with red, piercing eyes. Became known as the "Moth Men." I've got an X-File dating back to 1952 on it.
(dryly) What would that be filed next to? "The Cockroach that Ate Cincinnati?"
No, "The Cockroach that Ate Cincinnati" is in the "C"s. Moth Men's over in the "M"s.
