[taking his shirt off] Before anyone passes judgment, may I remind you - we are in the arctic.
S1 E7Ice
It's still there, Scully, two hundred thousand years down in the ice.
Leave it there.
BBear
You folks the ones going up to Icy Cape?
Yeah.
BBear
Then I'm the one flying you. My name's Bear. The plane's across the way, provisions are loaded. Grab your gear.
Oh, could we see some credentials?
BBear
Credentials. The only credentials that I have is that I'm the only pilot willing to fly you up there. You don't like those credentials... walk.
Alright, parasitic diagnostic procedure requires that each of us provide a blood and a stool sample.
BBear
A stool sample?
MMurphy
Well, this kind of travel always makes that kind of tough... for me.
Okay, anyone got the morning sports section handy?
BBear
I ain't dropping my cargo for no one. (smashes jar)
Mulder, what are you doing?
Murphy's dead...
You killed him.
I found him like this. I heard one of the doors close, I came out to check it out. It's one of you.
He's lying.
NDNancy Da Silva
You could've done it and not even known.
No! He said he didn't do it.
I don't have any of the symptoms.
You checked him yourself, Hodge.
Yeah, six hours ago.
It was ONE OF YOU!
STOP IT! Stop it! Shut up! Mulder, just put the gun down and let Hodge give you a blood test.
Oh, so he can doctor the results? I'm not gonna let him stick a needle in me! He could be infected!
He has to be confined - now!
Then, just turn around and let us take a look at your neck!
I'm not turning my back on anybody! As far as I'm concerned, you're all infected!
NNancy
Hodge is right, we oughta lock him up!
Mulder!
Scully, get that gun off me.
Mulder, you have to understand!
PUT IT DOWN!!!
YOU PUT IT DOWN FIRST!!
SCULLY!!! For God's sakes, it's me!
Mulder, you may not be who you are!
In here, I'll be safer than you.
We're all wired and hypersensitive, it'll be good to get a fresh start in the morning.
Mulder, I don't want to waste a second trying to find a way to kill this thing.
I don't know if we should kill it. This area of the ice sheet was formed over a meteor crater. The worm lived in ammonia. It survived sub-zero temperatures. Theorists in alternative life-designs believe in ammonia-supported life systems on planets with freezing temperatures.
No.
The meteor that crashed here a quarter of a million years ago may have carried that type of life to earth.
S1 E8Space
You never wanted to be an astronaut when you were a kid, Scully?
Guess I missed that phase.
[about seeing a shuttle launch from the control room] I have to admit, that fulfilled one of my boyhood fantasies.
Yeah, it ranks right up there with getting a pony and learning how to braid my own hair.
Why would somebody want to sabotage the Space Shuttle?
Well, if you were a terrorist, there probably isn't a more potent symbol of American progress and prosperity. And if you're an opponent of big science, NASA itself represents a vast money trench that exists outside the crucible and debate of the democratic process. And of course there are those futurists who believe the Space Shuttle is a rusty old bucket that should be mothballed. A dinosaur spacecraft built in the 70's by scientists setting their sights on space in an ever declining scale.
And we thought we could rest easy with the fall of the Soviet Union.
Not to mention certain fringe elements who accuse our government itself of space sabotage. The failure of the Hubble Telescope and the Mars Observer are directly connected to a conspiracy to deny us evidence.
Evidence of what?
Alien civilization.
Oh. Of course.
Hey, Scully, we send those men up into space to unlock the doors of the universe, and we don't even know what's behind them.
S1 E9Fallen Angel
Then what can I say? How can I disprove lies that are stamped with an official seal?
SCSection Chief McGrath
That will be all, Mr Mulder?
You can deny all the things I've seen, all the things I've discovered, but not for much longer because too many others know what's happening out there. And no one, no government agency, has jurisdiction over the truth.
Mulder, the hearing is tomorrow at 10 o'clock.
So that gives us 24 hours to investigate.
My assignment is to bring you back, not help you dig yourself in deeper.
"The Last Detail" starring Dana Scully.
You really believe that story?
That story happens to be highly classified.
It's a highly classified lie.
Mulder, the continental United States is surrounded by an electronic fence that reaches 15,000 miles into space. We use it to track and monitor the 7,087 man-made objects that orbit the earth. Last night at 23:17 that fence was breached.
SCSection Chief McGrath
Why did you countermand my decision? Mulder's conduct was in clear violation not only of bureau procedures but of federal law.
Yes.
SCSection Chief McGrath
I don't understand. The committee's case was air tight. You've ruined the last best chance we had to get rid of him.
I appreciate your frustration, but you and I both know Mulder's work, his singular passion-- poses a most unique dilemma. But his occasional insubordination is in the end, far less dangerous.
SCSection Chief McGrath
With respect sir, less dangerous than what?
Than having him exposed to the wrong people. What he knows... what he thinks he knows... Always keep your friends close, Mr. McGrath... but keep your enemies closer.
