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.
