S5 E14The Red and the Black

But it doesn't explain why they would want to kill me. And it doesn't explain why I survived.

It all comes down to a question, one that hasn't been answered or I don't think honestly addressed. Who made that chip in your neck? That chip was found in a military research facility. Our government made that chip, implanted it in your neck as part of a secret military project to develop a biochemical weapon, to monitor your immunity or to destroy you like a lab rat... if the truth were to be exposed. Your cancer, your cure. Everything that's happening to you now. It all points to that chip. The truth I've been searching for? That truth is IN you.

(pauses, looks down) Mulder, when I met you five years ago, you told me that your sister had been abducted... by aliens. That that event had marked you so deeply that nothing else mattered. I didn't believe you, but I followed you... on nothing more than your faith that the truth was out there, based not on facts, not on science, but on your memories that your sister had been taken from you. Your memories were all that you had.

I don't trust those memories now.

Whether you trust them or not, they led you here, and me. But I have no memories to either trust or distrust. And if you ask me now to follow you again, to stand behind you in what you now believe, without knowing what happened to me out there... without those memories, I can't. I won't.

[Stands and goes to window, pauses, then looks back at her.] If I could give you those memories, if I could prove that I was right and that what I believed for so long was wrong-

Is that what you really want?

[Scully is under hypnosis]

There's... there's another one. There's another ship. They see it. They were attacking them.

WWeber

Who were they attacking, Dana?

The... the faceless men. They're... oh my God, I can't...

WWeber

Do you want to stop, Dana?

No. Now it's coming at us. Oh my God! No! Cassandra! Where's Cassandra? They're... they're taking her. They're... oh my God.

You must be losing it, Mulder. I can beat you with one hand.

Isn't that how you like to beat yourself?

[Krycek cocks gun]

If those were my last words, I can do better.

I'm not here to kill you, Mulder. I'm here to help you.

(sarcastically) Hey, thanks.

You know, if it wasn't in my best interests, I would just as soon squeeze the trigger.

What's stopping you?

Hear this, agent Mulder. Listen very carefully, because what I'm telling you is deadly serious. There is a war raging, and unless you pull your head out of the sand, you and I and about 5 billion other people are gonna go the way of the dinosaur. I'm talking planned invasion- the colonization of this planet by an extraterrestrial race.

(laughing) I thought you were serious.

Kazakhstan, Skyland Mountain, the site in Pennsylvania, they're all alien lighthouses where the colonization will begin, but where now a battle is being raged, a struggle for heaven and earth where there is one law: fight or die. And one rule: resist or serve.

Serve who?

No, not who. What.

Krycek, you're a murderer, a liar and a coward. Just because you stick a gun in my chest, I'm supposed to believe you're my friend?!

(smiles) Get up. I was sent by a man... a man who knows, as I do, that resistance is in our grasp, and in yours. The mass incinerations were strikes by an alien rebellion, to upset plans for occupation. One of these rebels is being held captive. And if he dies, so does the resistance. [Leans forward and seems to kiss him on the cheek?, then puts his gun away and starts to leave.] (in Russian) Good luck to you, my friend.

Mulder? What are you doing sitting here in the dark?

Thinking.

Thinking about what?

Well, the usual. Destiny, fate, how to throw a curveball. The inextricable relationships in our lives that are neither accidental nor... somehow in our control either.

GGuard

Yes, sir?

We're federal agents requesting permission to enter the base.

GGuard

Do you have any paperwork to go with that, Agent "Muldar?"

(annoyed) It's Mulder.

S5 E16Mind's Eye

(after having a suspect wear gloves that fit perfectly) Hope you saw what just happened in there.

Even if the gloves do fit, you can still acquit.

I like you Marty. I admire you. And I don't want to see you confess to crimes you didn't commit.

MGMarty Glenn

You just feel sorry for me.

No I don't - Not the way you think I do.

MGMarty Glenn

Read the confession. I got it all perfect - every detail. How could I do that if I'm innocent?

I believe you witnessed both murders. You-you saw them somehow, but you were way across town when they happened - You were a $60 cab ride away.

MGMarty Glenn

You're crazy.

I think you tried to stop them - You tried to, but you didn't get there in time.

MGMarty Glenn

..I don't have to talk to you anymore.

S5 E17All Souls

And why would God allow this to happen? Why do bad things happen to good people? Religion has masqueraded as the paranormal since the dawn of time to justify some of the most horrible acts in history.

I was raised to believe that God has His reasons however mysterious.

He may well have His reasons, but He seems to use a lot of psychotics to carry out His job orders.

[Speaking to Father Gregory who is praying inside an interrogation room] What are you asking for, Father? Mercy or forgiveness? You know... they say when you talk to God it's prayer, but when God talks to you it's schizophrenia. What is your God telling you, Father?

S5 E18The Pine Bluff Variant

[leaving the room to go under cover] If you don't hear from me by midnight... (pauses) feed my fish.

HHaley

Welcome, Agent Mulder.

Okay, deal me in.

HHaley

This is just a little method we use... to learn the truth.

Well, you-you might wanna put that hood back on me unless you want to see a grown man cry.

HHaley

What happened in the park?

I told you on the phone. [Skin-Head Man pulls back on Mulder's fingers] Grrh!

HHaley

I was set up.

I'm telling the truth-- wait, wait. WAIT! [breathes sharply] I let you go.

HHaley

You're spying on us, aren't you?

No... no! [Skin-Head Man pulls back again] D-AAAHH... You want me to lie and say yes? [man pulls Mulder's fingers back] AAHH... Gah, I'm gonna kill you, you SON OF A BITCH!! I'm gonna kill you! [breathing heavily] If I set you up, do you think I would even get into the car with this Nazi piece of shi...?! [man breaks Mulder's fingers] AAHHH-- [Mulder headbutts him] I risked EVERYTHING! If I was lying, there'd be federal agents descending upon this place like the wrath of God right now! [he notices the man getting back up] IF YOU TOUCH ME AGAIN, you better kill me!! [Skin-Head man grabs Mulder's already broken fingers again] Grr... [muffled whimper]

HHaley

A war is going on, Agent Mulder. Either you're on the right side... or the wrong. [points a hair-spray can at Mulder] You've seen the effects of this.

Yeah, I--

HHaley

Like to see them again?

NO! I didn't set you up! If you got set up, it was one of yours.

S5 E19Folie a Deux

You have to be willing to see.

I wish it were that simple.

Scully, you have to believe me. Nobody else on this whole damn planet does or ever will. You're my one in five billion.

S5 E20The End

You know, when I first met you I figured you were just ambitious. Then this morning my opinion changed and I thought you were arrogant. Now I'm beginning to wonder what you're protecting.

FSFBI Special Agent Jeffrey Spender

I'm just trying to run this thing right. Not like some ridiculous, paranormal free-for-all.

You're insulting me when you should be taking notes. Somehow you got the big assignment, but just because you're wearing the suit doesn't mean it fits.

FSFBI Special Agent Diana Fowley

Been too many years trying to get inside the head of too many Arab terrorists.. I'm out of practice with this stuff. But you seem at the top of your game.

That's all I do. That's all I've been doing for the last five years. It's... been my life - such as it is.
