One day, you'll ask me to speak of the truth
of the miracle of your birth;
to explain what is unexplained
and if I falter or fail on this day
know there is an answer, my child
a sacred, imperishable truth
but one you may never hope to find alone.
Chance meeting your perfect other
your perfect opposite
your protector and endangerer.
Chance embarking with this other
on the greatest of journeys--
a search for truths fugitive and imponderable.
If one day this chance may befall you, my son
do not fail or falter to seize it.
The truths are out there
and if one day you should behold a miracle
as I have in you
you will learn the truth is not found in science
or on some unseen plane
but by looking into your own heart
and in that moment, you will be blessed...
and stricken...
for the truest truths are what hold us together
or keep us painfully, desperately apart.
Hey.
Tall coffee with milk?
Yeah, thanks, and can I get a warm-up, please?
"I've resisted contacting you
"for reasons I know you continue to appreciate.
"But to be honest, some unexpected dimensions
"of my new life are eating away at any resolve I have left.
"I'm lonely, Dana...
"uncertain of my ability to live like this.
"I want to come home...
"to you...
and to William."
Shh-shh-shh.
I am physically shaking right now seeing your words.
Wishing it were you speaking them to me.
I want so badly to see you, too
but you are still not safe here.
The child's mother, she was just here.
Where did she go?
I think that's her out there.
Excuse me.
I'm sorry.
We talk to you a second?
It's about Agent Mulder.
What about Mulder?
We got a guy contacting us through intelligence channels.
He keeps saying he wants to talk to Fox Mulder
only he won't say why.
Well, who is he?
We don't know. He always covers his tracks.
But this morning we finally got him to tip his hand.
He says he has highly classified military files.
Files on what?
These bioengineered soldiers we've all come in contact with--
so-called "Super Soldiers."
The same ones threatening Mulder's life
forcing him to live underground.
What does he want with Mulder?
Wants to give him the names
of these Super Soldiers, and Mulder's the only person
he'll give them to.
Well, even if this was a good idea
I don't know how to contact him.
I'm sorry about that.
I believe that last class we were covering petecchia
and evidence of death by...
Agent Scully.
What the hell are you doing?
I'm trying to teach a class.
You understand what we're being offered here?
If we know who these Super Soldiers are
we can go after them.
This is somebody giving us
a way that can make it safe for Mulder to come home.
That's the operative word here-- "somebody."
Somebody that we don't know.
And you don't want to check it out.
What I don't want is Agent Mulder's life to be endangered
any more than it already is.
How long are you going to do this?
Do what, Agent Doggett?
Refuse to trust me
or anybody.
How else you going to get him home?
I said, get in the car-- you and the baby-- right now.
Leave us alone.
I am not telling you again.
Get away. Get away from us.
She's coming with me.
What are you doing?
Do you need help, ma'am?
No.
Hey!
Don't take her with you.
Do you need me to call the police?
Don't go. Don't...
Don't go! Please...
Ma'am?
Are you all right?
Come on in.
The phone's over there.
I don't know if it's such a good idea.
Making out a police report.
Well, you've obviously got a problem.
I saw you this morning at the cafe.
Is he your husband?
Yeah.
It's okay.
I understand.
I mean...
it's hard enough caring for a child.
You don't have anyone, do you?
No.
But I wish I did.
Maybe he'll come back.
Do you have anywhere to go?
No.
I'm going to get you a blanket
and something hot to drink.
All right?
Thank you.
My name's Dana.
I'm Patti.
What do you have?
This source of ours decided
to give my cell phone a call tonight.
I ran a trace.
Did you get a number?
No, but I got a node.
A sector of six city blocks.
The area's pretty vacant, except
for this building here.
Say this source is for real
and this is Mulder's chance to come home.
We spook the spook, and maybe that chance goes away.
Or worse, it drives Mulder deeper.
Where are you going?
Take a little look into his car.
I'll say it again.
What we risk is compromising Mulder's return.
I don't plan on getting caught.
Good evening.
How are you?
Good.
You?
Your wife and kid?
They're good.
Good.
Everybody's good.
Monica, wake up.
What?
Hello.
You awake?
Yeah.
I just laid down and shut my eyes.
What time is it?
Agent Reyes and I just tailed a car onto your street.
We watched a guy go into your building.
A guy we're guessing you've got no business with.
You there, Agent Scully?
Put him down. Now.
Oh, my God!
Put my baby down.
Shh...
Agent Scully! Agent Scully!
Agent Scully, do you know this man?
I wouldn't think so.
Not with him trying to pick his way into your place.
Start with who you work for.
I'm not at liberty to say.
Is this your wife?
Maybe she's at liberty.
Maybe she don't want to accompany you to prison.
You staged this, didn't you?
Arguing on the street. Everything.
No.
It's a con job.
What are you after, my baby?
No, no.
I want to protect William.
That's enough.
You want to get us killed?
You said...
You said that they could help us.
You told me that.
That's what you said.
What the hell is going on here?
They're watching.
They're watching?
You got something to say, say it.
I work for the National Security Agency.
The name on my driver's license is false.
If you were to call the police
I would be detained only long enough
for another NSA agent to authorize my release.
I don't exist as a citizen, nor does anyone I work with.
So what are you doing here?
As you can see, my wife is upset.
I was coming to get her to stop this very event.
What's she so upset about?
We have a daughter... Joy.
There's something about her.
Something different.
Just like there's something different with her son William.
Different how?
How do you know anything about her or her son?
I know virtually everything about you.
And you.
Several months ago
you saw your son
effect the movement of the mobile over his crib.
He spun it as if with this mind.
It happened to us the same way.
So you've been looking in this apartment
with what, cameras?
Various forms of technology.
Then it's you who's been contacting us.
Not directly.
My scope is limited
I only look at what they tell me to.
But I have a supervisor who I've told everything
I'm telling you about my daughter and your son
and he started to look into it.
He learned things about a Super Soldier program.
Things he won't tell us.
Crimes, he says, against innocent people.
What does he want with Mulder?
Mulder's the only one capable of making the connections, he says.
Maybe we can help you.
And maybe you can help us find out the truth...
about what our babies really are.
Hello.
You've had quite an earful.
Who is this?
As my associate indiscreetly told you, we don't have names.
You've been listening to us?
It's all I could do
after you closed the shades, Agent Scully.
You ever heard of the Constitution?
Yes.
It's what allows foreign terrorists to live here
and enjoy the American dream until time comes to destroy it.
But my trespasses are the least of your concern
after what they've done to you and Mulder.
What have they done?
Actually, it's what they're prepared to do next.
I'd be happy to tell Agent Mulder.
Well, you're going to have to tell me
'cause I don't know how to reach Agent Mulder.
But you reached him yesterday. You sent him an e-mail.
Would you like me to read it to you?
Why should I trust you?
You're just a voice on the end of the phone.
I'm not going to give you anything unless I can meet you.
Unless I...
Unless I can see your face.
Are you still there?
If you think you can flush me out
you're making a big mistake.
Bus bench, Internet Cafe. Come alone.
You have 20 minutes.
Agent Scully...
What are you doing?
I'm going to meet your contact.
I need you to watch William, Monica.
I don't like this.
I don't like the feel of it
and I don't like you agreeing to it without backup.
You said I had to trust someone, right?
Well, that's what I'm doing.
Hello.
Are you armed, Agent Scully?
Yes.
Then you're prepared to use your weapon
should anything go wrong?
I'm not sure I follow you.
Then do exactly as I say.
If you vary my instructions in the smallest way, we're over.
If I see or suspect that you're not working alone
I will terminate our communication.
If I believe a third party is trying to use this meeting
to prevent our exchange
you must be prepared to use your weapon
in your own defense. Am I clear?
Yes.
There's a green sedan across the street from you.
The keys are in it. I want you to get in the car.
All right, what next?
Start the engine, put the car in drive
and await my next order.
Pull out quickly! Go now!
Agent Scully.
Is it absolutely necessary to get innocent people hurt?
You're free to stop the car and walk away at any time.
Up to you.
I'm doing this for your own protection and for Mulder's.
So where am I going?
Turn right right now.
Stop the car.
Get out, Agent Scully.
Turn the engine off, take the keys out.
Walk to the top of the alley. There's another car there.
Get in and drive directly
to the interstate on-ramp heading west.
You will continue heading west until I tell you otherwise.
That's far enough.
Get out of the car.
Leave it running.
Where are you?
Move around to the trunk.
You'll see a change of clothes inside for you. Put them on.
Look, uh...
we're in the middle of nowhere!
There is no middle of nowhere anymore, Agent Scully.
Put the gun in the trunk.
Your clothes, too.
Your watch.
Give it to me.
This is ridiculous.
This has gone far enough.
Do you want to see Mulder again?
These clothes that I'm wearing...
they're my size.
How the hell do you know my size?
Your size?
I know your blood type, your resting heart rate
your childhood fear of clowns.
I know the name of your college boyfriend
your true hair color, your ATM PIN number
favorite charities, pet peeves.
I know you spend too much time alone.
And I know... that on one lonely night
you invited Mulder to your bed.
Oh, my God.
I was as surprised as you are.
Who authorizes you?
I mean, what give you the right?
Who are you?!
I'm the future, Agent Scully
and I risked my life being here.
Well, then why do it?
I mean, why meet me?
Because you can reach Mulder.
Mulder needs to know what I know or he may have no future.
Perhaps no one will.
Another car is parked on the main road, half a mile out.
If I see that you haven't contacted Mulder
in the next 24 hours
I disappear and you never see me again.
Do you understand, lady?
Excuse me.
I'm teaching a class, Agent Doggett.
Is it something pressing?
Yeah.
I'm worried now about what it is I've gotten you into.
You're right to be worried.
This guy that led you all over town last night
he says he wants to talk to Mulder, right?
Why does he need you?
Why not go to Mulder directly?
'Cause this guy knows Mulder resurfaces
only if the one person he trusts asks him to.
That guy didn't come to me, Agent Doggett
he came to you.
That woman that I took in blew his cover.
He had no other choice.
Did you ever stop to think
that this woman and her husband
are in on this, too?
I don't believe that.
That woman is truly scared for her child
for the same reasons that I am.
How do you know they're not being used by this Shadow Man
to lure Mulder out?
To kill him?
'Cause that couple doesn't even necessarily
trust the Shadow Man.
I mean, for their own reasons.
You think about it.
This guy seems to know everything.
He even reads your e-mail.
I mean, how can you, or anybody
hope to ensure for Mulder a safe passage home?
Mulder and I already considered that
even before he left.
His return has been prearranged.
The place, the mode of transport
everything's been set.
Well, you can call the whole thing off.
I can't.
I've already sent for him.
Mulder's on a train.
He'll be here at midnight.
Maybe you can reach him.
You can't do that to me.
I'm sorry.
I want to see him so bad.
I know.
And I want to make sure that you get to, Dana.
That's the whole reason I'm here.
Well, it's too late.
And I have to go.
Agent Boal? Edie Boal?
I'm John Doggett.
We spoke a few minutes ago.
You said if I came right down
you might be able to help me out.
What'd I get myself into?
I've got some clothing here.
I'm looking for anything you can find
that might give me an ID.
Male or female?
It's a male who handled them
and he gave them to a female agent.
When do you need them?
I got a little over an hour.
Your staring over my shoulder doesn't make me go faster.
May I have your attention, please.
Southbound 112 now arriving.
Please stay clear of the platform
until the train comes to a full stop.
Two men shot!
Keep rolling!
Stop the train!
Keep rolling!
I'm a Federal Agent!
Keep rolling!
Mulder!
Agent Scully?
It wasn't supposed to happen.
This wasn't supposed to happen.
All we wanted was answers.
We never meant to harm you.
My husband was not a part of this.
I know. I know that he was only trying to protect me.
The man who he works for...
he's the one who's responsible for this.
I know.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
What is it?
What I was afraid of.
Agent Doggett, what?
We can't find him.
Who?
The man I shot.
He fell in front of a freaking moving train
but he ain't down there on the tracks.
Well, where is he? Nowhere.
It shouldn't make a bit of sense, but it does.
I went to run the DNA on the clothes he gave you
only the man's DNA can't be tested.
They say it's some kind of weird DNA complex
with iron or some damn thing.
That doesn't make sense.
I think it does.
'Cause he's not a man.
He's a Super Soldier.
Mulder.
I've got to warn Mulder.
Get on the radio!
Get on the radio and alert them
that there's a situation on that train.
A situation? The man who fell
on the tracks, he's gotten on that train.
This is the southbound 112.
We got a jumper.
A man jumped off the train at the mile 19 connector
he ran into the Manville rock quarry there.
Agent Scully, you drive.
Head down into the quarry
and we'll meet you in the bottom.
Okay.
Agent Reyes!
Mulder!
Mulder, it's John Doggett!
Mulder?
Mulder!
Mulder?
Stop there!
Stop right there!
Why do you want to kill us?!
Mulder must die.
Mulder or your son.
What are you talking about?
What does this have to do with my son?
What's wrong with my son?!
Answer me!
I hold no hope you can respond to this
or that it reaches you.
I only hope that you are alive.
I cannot help believing that you jumped off that train
because you knew what I now know--
that these Super Soldiers-- if that's what they are--
can, in fact, be destroyed.
That the key to their destruction
lies in the iron compound at that quarry.
I'm scared for you, Mulder, and for William.
The forces against us are unrelenting
but so is my determination
to see you again, to regain the comfort and safety
we shared for so brief a time.
Until then, I remain forever yours, Dana.
