S5 E1Redux I

The very existence of this cure would mean with certainty that I had believed in a lie from the start.

I was depending on Scully to tell her story, to weave her tale, to make them believe the lie.

S5 E2Redux II

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.

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.

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!
