Why would you want to remember? You can't tell me you're happier now because you recall your life. I saw it all. So much pain... Why would you want to struggle so long and hard to get that pain back?
Because it's mine.
TV show quotes
Why would you want to remember? You can't tell me you're happier now because you recall your life. I saw it all. So much pain... Why would you want to struggle so long and hard to get that pain back?
Because it's mine.
(talking about his recovered memories) I'll take the bad, so long as I remember the good.
(looking at Doggett) You Reyes?
I'm Doggett. She's Reyes.
Detective Van Allen?
That's right.
I appreciate your help on this.
What help is that?
On this investigation.
There isn't a lot to investigate. I mean, Victor Potts wasn't exactly one of the FBI's ten most wanted.
I think she means your insight into the way he died, Detective.
Don't have any. But I'm sure you'd rather talk to somebody who actually gives a damn, right? (walks off)
(to Reyes) ..Hate to say it but, he probably sums up most peoples feelings.
Agent Comer - our undercover man - was sent to infiltrate the cult... based on a series of... threats.
What threats? Threats to who? To me, to my child...
Threats... on Agent Mulder's life.
(looking at Follmer) That's what this is about? Then why pull me in here and show me those rubbings? I don't understand.
(everyone else is silent) Before losing all contact with our undercover agent he sent us a communication. A communication we've been trying to confirm that, uh... (swallows nervously; gently) that Mulder was already dead.
[Scully meets his eyes, and he holds her gaze. She is visibly upset. Kersh looks sad and can't meet her eyes. Skinner can’t even look at her. Doggett seems to believe it's the truth.]
[Reciting from his memory of a Desert Storm engagement, where he lays dazed seeing a 'Super Soldier' team trot away after effortlessly wiping out the enemy squad.]
Behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, and a brightness was about it.. And out of the midst came the likeness of four living creatures, and they had the likeness of a man... I knew why my life had been spared - That I was to deliver the message of these angels, of these sons of God.. To deliver the message of the god who came before all other gods.
[Concludes showing him in the present, standing on top of a dug-up alien spacecraft.]
I'm on my way. That was Agent Doggett again. They're waiting. Mom, I've got to go.
It's the middle of the night, Dana. I just don't understand what can't wait 'til tomorrow.
Mom, it's important. I wouldn't go if it weren't.
Yes, I know, Dana. You say it's about getting answers.
Answers about William, Mom.
I know you're worried about him... that there are things about him that you just can't explain - but even if you were to get those answers what would it change?
Mom, he's my child.
And you have to love him and raise him in spite of everything. Dana, god has given you a miracle. A child that wasn't supposed to be. Maybe it's not to question... just to be taken as a matter of faith.
Mom, I can't take this on faith. I need to know. I need to know if it's really God I have to thank.
So, big plans for the weekend?
Oh, huge. Microwave pizza, satellite TV.
Wow. Thanks for making my life sound exciting. Maybe we both need pets. They say people with pets live longer.
(confesses) I was thinking about getting a cat.
There's dog people, and there's cat people. You are a dog person, John.
How do you figure?
(chuckles) You're faithful, you're dependable, you're without guile, you're very comfortable to be around. ..So why a cat?
Low maintenance. They don't expect much from you, so you can't disappoint 'em.
I don't see you ever disappointing anyone, John.
Hell of a thing to wake up to, huh? We stopped after work. She had a beer.
Well, the man who hit her had fifteen. Don't do this to yourself, John.
It's true, John. She's gone.
I don't accept that - Look at her breathing. Her heart's still beating. There's got to be hope.
There's no measurable electrical activity in her brain. Brain death is... indeed death, John. I'm sorry.
You work here?
Uh, I-I'm a patient aide. I deliver the flowers mostly. Are you her husband?
[Doggett shakes his head no.]
You love her, though. She's not gone - Not her soul.
I wish I could talk to her. I wish I could tell her... Guess I wish a lot of things.
Audrey, I'm Monica. Stephen and I just want to get out of here. Will you show us the way out?
I can't. I can't help you.
Why not?
I came to tell you your friend... loves you very much.
My friend? Did you talk to John? Does he know where I am?
They all think you're dead. (starts to leave)
Wait! Give my friend a message. Tell him he's a dog person.
Your name is John, right? She has a message for you. She says you're a dog person.
Wait - Where did you get that? Who said that to you?
I told you. She's not gone.
A cop I know, a man I respect deeply, he told me one time you don't clock out at the end of your shift unless you know you did everything you could. That's what this is about - me not clocking out.
Somehow this person materialized inside a maximum security prison, killed an inmate, and then vanished into thin air.
Materialized how, like Casper the Friendly Ghost?
[End of the episode, where Reyes talks to a rattled Doggett, who is unable to believe that the one killer had two different appearances, one being the one that was shot, and the other now the one taken away, dead]
..So all that tonight was just you imagining things?
I can't accept this.. If you can, God love you - But that's not the way my mind works.
