Section Chief McGrath and Deep Throat in “Fallen Angel”

Why did you countermand my decision? Mulder's conduct was in clear violation not only of bureau procedures but of federal law.

Deep Throat

Yes.

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.

Deep Throat

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.

With respect sir, less dangerous than what?

Deep Throat

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.
