(voiceover) I came in search of something I did not believe existed. I've stayed on now, in spite of myself. In spite of everything I've ever held to be true. I will continue here as long as I can... as long as you are beset by the haunting illness which I saw consume your beautiful mind. What is this discovery I've made? How can I reconcile what I see with what I know? I feel this was meant not for me to find but for you... to make sense of - make the connections which can't be ignored... connections which, for me, deny all logic and reason. What is this source of power I hold in my hand - this rubbing - a simple impression taken from the surface of the craft? I watched this rubbing take its undeniable hold on you, saw you succumb to its spiraling effect. Now I must work to uncover what your illness prevents you from finding. In the source of every illness lies its cure.
S7 E1The Sixth Extinction
S7 E2The Sixth Extinction II: Amor Fati
(about to cry) I don't know what to believe anymore. Mulder, I was so determined to find a cure to save you that I could deny what it was that I saw and now I don't even know... I don't know... I don't know what the truth is... I don't know who to listen to. I don't know who to trust. (pauses; is crying) Diana Fowley was found murdered this morning. I never trusted her... but she helped save your life just as much as I did. She gave me that book. It was her key that led me to you. I'm sorry... I'm so sorry. I know she was your friend. (she puts her arms around him; they hold each other)
Scully, I was like you once. I didn't know who to trust. Then I... I chose another path... another life, another fate, where I found my sister. The end of my world was unrecognizable and upside down. There was one thing that remained the same. (gently holds her face; looks in her eyes) You... were my friend, and you told me the truth. Even when the world was falling apart, you were my constant... my touchstone.
And you are mine.
[They move their faces close together; Scully kisses him on the forehead for a long time. They pull slightly apart; Scully puts his hat back on his head, cups his face in her hands. They look in each others' eyes before she gently touches his lips with her fingers before leaving. He stands in the doorway and closes his eyes.]
S7 E3Hungry
Welcome to Lucky Boy. May I take your order?
Yeah, we'll have it our way. (both flash their badges)
FBI. Special Agents Scully and Mulder. We'd like a word with your manager, please.
But look - there's four Lucky Boys in Costa Mesa alone and something like 30 in Orange County.
(sighing) Thirty-two.
(quickly, annoyed) Yeah, long day. So let's make this quick. Does everybody have their button?
What is that? Next to it. Is that, uh... oh, my... ugh. Is that brain? Is that brain matter there?
No, I'd say that's ground beef.
Ground beef.
Yeah.
You live here alone?
Yeah, it's just me.
Uh-huh. Mom or girlfriend?
What?
(grinning) Come on, man, who cleans up after you?
Neither. It's just me I-I live here alone.
Well, bravo. You know, they say single guys are just bears who own furniture, (smiles) but... I mean, my place... (wistfully) Oh, but here... you can smell the Pine-Sol.
S7 E4Millennium
[Mulder and Scully enter a psychiatric hospital]
How well do you know this man?
Only by reputation - He, uh, left VICAP before I got there. But he's been called the greatest criminal profiler Quantico ever produced.
So what's he doing here?
Well, apparently he checked himself in for a 30-day rehabilitation - I take it the last few years haven't been too kind to him. But if there's anybody that can tell us about the Millennium Group, it's him. He used to consult for them. Later, he fought to bring them down at the expense of his own career and reputation.
Single-minded.
Yeah.
Sounds like someone I know.
He's not our murderer, and those four dead bodies aren't dead and the millennium is... (looks at his watch) 14 hours away.
Mulder, those people, even when they were alive mangled biblical prophecy to the extent that it's unrecognizable. The year 2000 is just their artificial deadline - and besides, 2001 is actually the start of the new millennium.
(slight smile) Nobody likes a math geek, Scully.
[Mulder and Scully are watching the New Year's celebrations on TV, which is showing kissing couples and everyone celebrating. They look a little awkward. Both turn to look at each other, then lean close and kiss gently for a few seconds, then smile.]
(smiling) The world didn't end.
(calmly pleased) No, it didn't.
Happy New Year, Scully.
Happy New Year, Mulder.
[He puts his arm around her shoulders and they walk off together.]
S7 E5Rush
Come on, you were cruising, right? I mean, a small town like this you're not exactly living La Vida Loca. I know-- I grew up in Dullsville, too, you know. Nothing to do but drive and park.
How long ago was that? (Mulder raises his eyebrows) Look. Don't you think I know what you're doing? You're like the tenth cop who's come in here trying to relate to me till I confess.
If you didn't do it, it's all the more reason to clear it up.
Everything I know is in my statement.
Okay, but bear with us 'cause we're old and stupid. (Scully hides a smile by looking down)
I don't know-- some kind of territorial or spiritual entity, maybe. (Scully sighs) Poltergeists have long been associated with violent acts like this and they tend to manifest around young people. They seem to be drawn to the turmoil of adolescence.
(innocently, almost coy) Mulder. Rather than spirits... can we at least start with Tony's friends? (looks like she is playing with his tie) Please? Just... for me?
(to Scully) You must have been a Betty, back in the day. (walks away)
A "Betty"?
(smiling) Back in the day.
I'll show you my theory if you show me yours.
S7 E6The Goldberg Variation
This man fell for 30 floors, plus the distance down this shaft, because these doors just happened to be open-- straight through, nothing but net.
Ouch.
I'm guessing that's what he said. After, he got up, climbed out of here and scampered off into the night.
You know in 1998, there was a British soldier who plummeted 4,500 feet when his parachute failed and he walked away with a broken rib?
What's your point?
My point is that if there's a wind gust, or a sudden updraft and, plus, if he landed in exactly the right way, I mean, I don't know. Maybe he just got lucky.
What if he got really, really lucky? That's your big scientific explanation, Scully? I mean, how many thousands of variables would have to convene in just the right mixture for that theory to hold water?
I don't know.
Well, thousands.
