Informations classées X :

- cet épisode, ainsi que le précédent, a bénéficié d'une extraordinaire promotion aux USA car il était présenté comme L'EPISODE CENTRAL de la série, celui qui allait fournir toutes les réponses aux questions que se posent fans et héros depuis un peu plus de 6 saisons. De fait, de nombreuses références à des épisodes issus de l'arc mythologique sont réalisées.

- C'est dans cet épisode qu'apparaissent pour la dernière fois les personnages de Cassandra Spender et des Aînés. 

L'épisode s'ouvre sur un flashback concernant l'une des dates les plus importantes de la série : le 13 octobre 1973. Les Aînés sont réunis dans un hangar situé sur lase militaire d'El Rico. La porte du hangar s’ouvre et de nombreux Petits Gris (= les aliens) arrivent et le Fumeur dépose un drapeau américain à leurs pieds. La scène est commentée par Mulder en voix off : « Pendant que la plupart des hommes restent dans l’ignorance, aveugles du long combat entre le ciel et la terre, certains se préparent à l’issue fatale. Ceux qui ont su évaluer la taille et la puissance de l’adversaire, doivent se prononcer face au choix suivant : se battre pour résister, ne pas se plier à la volonté d’un ennemi redoutable ; ou bien collaborer, devenir le bras de l’ennemi pour leur propre survie. Ces gens pensent que l’absence de défaite est une victoire, et que cela suffit à justifier n’importe quel sacrifice… »

Retour au présent. Cassandra arrive à l’appartement de Mulder, effrayée. Elle essaye de convaincre Mulder qu'il doit la tuer, c’est la seule issue possible. Mulder pointe son arme sur Cassandra tandis que Scully lui crie de ne pas tirer. Quelqu’un frappe à la porte. Soudain, celle-ci explose et une dizaine d’hommes, tous en combinaison anti-contamination, affirment qu’ils viennent du Centre des Maladies Infectieuses. Diana Fowley est là également, clamant qu’ils ont tous été contaminés par quelque chose. Ils sont tous emmenés à Fort Marlène, où Mulder et Scully prennent une douche de décontamination. Cassandra est séparée d'eux Les vêtements de Mulder et Scully sont détruits. Diana s’excuse auprès de Mulder et Scully mais elle affirme que Cassandra est contaminée par un mal étrange et que c’est l’agent Spender qui a appelé le Centre des Maladies Infectieuses (CMI). Scully dément formellement : Cassandra n’a jamais et elle exige de la voir. Scully pense que les expérimentations sur Cassandra continuent mais Mulder pense que Cassandra savait qu’elle devait être tuée pour éviter que tout ceci ne se produise.

Pendant ce temps, au QG du Syndicat à New-York, une réunion se tient. Le premier Aîné dit à l'Homme à la cigarette qu’il faudrait qu’ils tuent Cassandra car sinon la colonisation commencerait dès maintenant. Le Fumeur répond que c’est peut-être la seule solution : que la colonisation commence pour qu’ils restent en vie ainsi que leurs familles.

Alors que Mulder, toujours coincé au CMI, cherche à se procurer de nouveaux vêtements, son chemin croise celui de Marita Covarrubias. Cette dernière semble être très malade. Elle explique qu’on lui a fait des tests et qu'on a pratiqué sur elle des expériences depuis qu'elle a été vaccinée contre l'Huile noire et s'est rétablie (cf Patient X - partie 2). Elle a de nouveau été soumise au virus, à plusieurs reprises, et à chaque fois le vaccin lui a été injecté pour déterminer comment son organisme réagissait. Mulder réalise alors que le programme d’hybridation était réalisé avec la coopération des aliens mais que c’était juste un moyen de gagner plus de temps pour trouver un vaccin. Si jamais ceux-ci apprenaient l’existence d’un hybride parfait, alors ils commenceraient la colonisation.

A Fort Marlene, Spender et Fowley vont voir Cassandra que Jeffrey a fait placer dans une chambre d’isolation pour la protéger (apparemment il ne sait pas que Fort Marlene est un lieu de tests du Consortium). Cassandra dit qu’elle doit être prise par le Consortium afin d’être tuée sinon toute la population va mourir.

Après avoir été relâchés du CMI, Mulder et Scully se rendent au repaire des Lone Gunmen. Scully leur a demandé de faire des recherches sur Diana Fowley mais Mulder semble ne pas vouloir écouter ce qu'ils ont appris, arguant qu'il la connaît ce qui n'est pas son cas. Scully confirme mais elle lui dit qu’il ne sait pas tout. Il semblerait en effet que Diana aurait voyagé à travers l’Europe et parlé aux membres de MUFON (cf « Monstres d’utilités publique » partie 1 et partie 2) qui ont été enlevées mais elle a aussi été en Tunisie et dans tous les centres MUFON pour collecter des infos sur toutes les femmes enlevées. Scully demande à Mulder pourquoi elle est soudainement revenue dans sa vie à un moment alors qu'il s'approche de plus en plus de la vérité. Pour elle, ce n'est pas une coïncidence. Elle soutient qu'il lui avait demandé de ne faire confiance à personne mais Mulder a fait confiance en Diana uniquement parce qu'il la connaît et qu'elle dit être son alliée. Mulder affirme qu'il n'y a pas de lieu de s'inquiéter du camp de Diana. Scully très vexée lui dit enfin qu’elle ne peut plus rien faire pour lui... Il semble pourtant que le doute se soit insinué dans l'esprit de Fox (vive Dana!) qui décide de rendre visite à son ex. Elle n'est pas chez elle et il n peut donc pas la confronter. Il décide de pénétrer par effraction à son domicile pour fouiller ses affaires et tombe nez à nez avec l'Homme à la cigarette. Fox le menace mais celui-ci ne semble pas s'en soucier et rappelle qu'ils ont déjà vécu une telle situation (cf Coma) Smoking Man dit qu’il est venu pour voir son fils parce qu'il a choisi le mauvais camp. Il explique également à Mulder tous les évènements depuis Roswell. Le Syndicat avait voté pour savoir s'il devait être du côté ou non des Colonisateurs en 1973 ce qui avait provoqué leur scission et la formation de leur propre agence gouvernementale. Ils n’avaient pas le choix : sacrifier leurs fiancées et leurs enfants dans l’espoir de les retrouver un jour sains et saufs. Bill Mulder ne l’avait pas accepté : il était le seul qui ne voyait pas leur survie comme une ultime idéologie. CGB lui dit aussi que sa soeur a été enlevé dans sa propre maison car Bill Mulder avait fini par comprendre , bien que trop tard, la nécessité de donner un enfant aux Colonisateurs et qu’ils avaient insisté. L'acceptation de pacte avec le Diable permettait au Consortium d'entrer en possession d'un foetus alien qui leur a servi de base génétique pour mener à bien le Projet et travailler, en secret, sur un vaccin pour détruire les Colons et empêcher leur plan d'être mis en place. CGB précise que Bill Mulder était à l'origine de cette idée de vaccin et ajoute que la  colonisation va commencer parce qu'ils sont parvenu à créer un hybride parfait : Cassandra. Il explique la manière dont va se dérouler l'invasion : une série d’évènements catastrophiques va avoir lieu et l’état d’urgence sera déclaré car de nombreuses attaques d’abeilles tueuses portant le virus commenceront (cf « Herrenwolk », « Nid d’abeilles » ,           « Combattre le futur « et « La vérité est ailleurs - partie 1 »). Si Cassandra survivait et que les aliens la trouvaient, la colonisation pourrait commencer. C’est pourquoi elle doit être tuée avant que les rebelles n'interviennent pour la reprendre et donc mettre fin au double projet que conduit le Syndicat depuis plus de 50 ans. Il donne ensuite à Mulder un morceau de papier et lui précise qu'il lui donne le choix entre survivre ou mourir avec le reste du monde puis il s'en va. Diana rentre chez elle après leur altercation et Mulder lui parle de la conversation qu'il vient d'avoir avec le Fumeur. Il dit que parfois la seule voie pour ne jamais oublier ceux que l’on aime est de partir. Elle regarde le fameux papier et voit qu'est notée l'adresse du hangar d'El Rico : en s'y rendant, ils pourront échapper à la colonisation. Fowley embrasse Mulder et le prend dans ses bras mais il ne répond pas vraiment à son étreinte.

A New-York, Krycek trouve Jeffrey Spender dans le salon du Consortium. Il est à la recherche de son père mais Alex lui apprend qu'il est parti, comme tous les autres membres à la base militaire d'El Rico où doit se tenir un rendez-vous avec les envahisseurs. Ils seront ensuite transportés à bord de leur vaisseau où ils pourront recevoir l'Huile noire et constituer la race d'élus qui survivra à l'invasion de la Terre. Avant de rejoindre ses pairs, CGB doit cependant passer récupérer Cassandra pour la livrer à ses tortionnaires. Jeffrey dit qu'elle est en sécurité mais Alex réfute cette assertion et, comme pour lui donner raison, nous voyons le Fumeur faire préparer Cassandra pour son dernier voyage. Il demande à lui parler en privé. Elle l’appelle ”le bourreau le plus ignoble de tous” et il ne se défend pas excepté pour dire que sans ses actions, tout le monde serait mort. Elle le supplie de la tuer, de stopper la Colonisation mais il ne peut pas (ou ne le veut pas!). Spender se précipite à Fort Marlene mais sa mère est déjà partie. Il trouve Marita qui lui demande de l’aider. Elle dit que tout le monde est parti et que personne n’est venu pour elle. Elle lui dit aussi qu’elle sait où sa mère se trouve et comment elle a été enlevée. Dans le même temps, Krycek est revenu à la base pour s'approprier le foetus alien et découvre que celui-ci est tout aussi absent que Cassandra. Le foetus a en fait été volé par un rebelle métamorophe. Il tombe alors sur Spender, qu'il accuse d'avoir laissé filer son père en possession de leur dernière chance de tout arrêter, et voit Marita. Spender dit qu'elle est prête à coopérer et tout révéler s'ils la font sortir de cet endroit. Krycek, lugubre, annonce alors qu'il est trop tard pour ça...

Suite à sa discussion avec CGB et Diana, Mulder appelle Scully et lui fait part des derniers événements. Il souhaite qu'elle l'accompagne à El Rico afin qu'elle soit sauvée mais elle lui apprend que Spender l'a contactée pour lui dire qu'il savait où se trouvait sa mère. Elle est actuellement dans un train qui la transporte vers son destin. Comprenant qu'ils ont encore une chance de tout stopper, Mulder force Diana à partir pour El Rico et décide de rejoindre Scully pour tenter d'abattre Cassandra et ainsi éviter la colonisation de la Terre. Ils ne parviennent cependant pas à arrêter le train et sont bientôt rejoints par Skinner qui les membres du Syndicat et leurs familles arrivent et sont très vite rejoints par le Fumeur et son ex-femme. CGB remarque que des gens manquent à l’appel, notamment Alex Krycek. Diana Fowley arrive en voiture sur les lieux peu après. Un vaisseau spatial descend sur la base. C'est la panique dans le hangar car les Aînés n'ont pas encore donné le signal qui devait autoriser l'OVNI à se poser. Soudain, les rebelles sans visage surgissent incendient tout le monde. Tout le monde ou presque...Fowley et le Fumeur s’échappent de justesse et partent en voiture loin de la base.

Dans le bureau de Kersh, ce dernier regarde les photos des corps calcinés découvert à la Base d’El Rico. Il semblerait qu’ils aient tous été brûlés. Mulder, Scully, Skinner et Spender sont présents. Kersh dit à ce dernier qu’il est désolé pour sa mère. Mais celui-ci dit qu’il n’est pas venu pour cela mais pour dire qu’il est le responsable de tous ces morts, qu’il n’a pas pu les prévenir à temps. Kersh veut une explication approfondie. Spender dit que Mulder et Scully pourraient expliquer ce qui s’est passé et Kersh exprime son mécontentement en rappelant qu'ils étaient tous les deux suspendus et n'auraient jamais du s'occuper d'une telle affaire. Jeffrey intervient alors en leur faveur et demande à ce qu'ils soient réintégrés aux X-Files pour éviter que d'autres catastrophes se produisent puis il quitte le bureau. Kersh est furieux et exige que Mulder lui epxlique pourquoi de telles informations n'ont jamais été communiquées aux autorités compétentes (la bonne blague!!) : ce à quoi Mulder répond, avec raison, que personne ne l’écoute jamais…
Peu après, l’agent Spender trouve son père dans son bureau mais il lui demande de partir. Son paternel lui dit qu'il l'a déçu puis il s'empare d'une photo posée sur le bureau : il s'agit de celle que Scully avait montrée à Mulder figurant CGB Spender et Bill Mulder en 1973. Il lui dit qu’ils étaient deux pères, que cela voulait dire quelque chose. Bill Mulder était un bon ami à lui, qui l’avait trahi à la fin. Spender lui dit qu’il en sait assez sur lui pour le haïr. Ce dernier répond que la mère de Jeffrey avait vu juste. Il était venu espérer autre chose. Il espérait que son fils vivrait en l’honorant, comme le fait le fils de Bill Mulder. Pour calmer sa déception, il pointe sur arme sur son fils et lui tire dessus! 

SCENE 1

MULDER: (voiceover) Two men, young, idealistic - the fine product of a generation hardened by world war. Two fathers whose paths would converge in a new battle - an invisible war between a silent enemy and a sleeping giant on a scale to dwarf all historical conflicts. A 50-years war, its killing fields lying in wait for the inevitable global holocaust.
Photograph of A young Bill Mulder and Young Cigarette Smoking Man going up in flames, fading into flashback of large hanger at an Air Force base with younger Elders.

SCENE 2 

OCTOBER 13, 1973  10:56 PM

MULDER: (voiceover) Theirs was the dawn of Armageddon. And while the world was unaware, unwitting spectators to the hurly-burly of the decades-long struggle between heaven and earth there were those who prepared for the end; who measured the size and power of the enemy, and faced the choices: stand and fight, or bow to the will of a fearsome enemy. Or to surrender - to yield and collaborate. To save themselves and stay their enemy's hand. Men who believed that victory was the absence of defeat and survival the ultimate ideology... No matter what the sacrifice.
A bright light appears at one end of the hanger. YOUNG CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN walks forward and lays down a folded American flag. Several small gray aliens approach.

SCENE 3

MULDER's apartment. MULDER is aiming his gun at CASSANDRA SPENDER. SCULLY is protesting loudly.
CASSANDRA SPENDER: (desperate) Shoot me now, before it's too late!
SCULLY: Mulder?!
CASSANDRA SPENDER: Shoot!
Several people in biohazard suits knock down the door and enter the apartment with hoses blasting out water full force onto MULDER, SCULLY, and CASSANDRA.
MULDER: Who are you!
CDC BIOSUIT MAN: Get down! Get down!
MULDER: Who are you?!
CDC BIOSUIT MAN: Down! Down! On the floor!
MULDER: What's going on?!
CDC BIOSUIT MAN: Get on the ground! Get on the ground!
MULDER: Who are you?!
CDC BIOSUIT MAN: Drop down! Drop! Drop!
MULDER, SCULLY, and CASSANDRA all lie down on the floor as the hoses blast away at them. One of the CDC men pneumatic nails the door closed again.
MULDER: Who are you?!
CDC BIOSUIT MAN: We're with the Centers for Disease Control. Remain calm and where you are for your own good. You're gonna be transported to a quarantine facility as soon as we can secure the environment.
SCULLY: Quarantine for what?
DIANA FOWLEY enters the apartment, also wearing a biohazard suit.
DIANA FOWLEY: A contagion. A contagion of unknown origin.

SCENE 4

MULDER is standing naked under a showerhead, eyes closed. Camera pans around to show SCULLY in a stall next to him also standing quietly under the spray. A very low wall separates them. The water shuts off. MULDER turns to SCULLY and glances down at her briefly. They look at each other briefly. SCULLY turns away.

SCENE 5

Later. MULDER and SCULLY now dressed in medical scrubs but still very wet, are being checked for radioactivity by a pair of technicians.
MULDER: There must be some kind of mistake. I signed up for the aroma therapy treatment.
SCULLY: Are we going to be able to talk to somebody who can tell us what this is all about?
The radioactivity technicians leave.
MULDER: Where the hell do you think we are?
SCULLY: I think, based on our travel time probably Fort Marlene. High risk decontamination and quarantine.
A pair of doctors, male for MULDER, female for SCULLY, enter with kits and begin checking them out. DIANA FOWLEY, no longer in the biohazard suit, enters. SCULLY is very defensive throughout the scene.
DIANA FOWLEY: I'm going to beg for your understanding and forgiveness and offer my humblest apologies for the way this went down. I didn't have a lot of choices. I owe your neighbors apologies as well. It's going to be some time before they get back in the building. We're still acting on a CDC Level - Four quarantine protocol.
SCULLY: Based on what information?
DIANA FOWLEY: That Cassandra Spender had contracted a highly contagious vectoring organism which produces a spontaneous cellular breakdown and combustion.
SCULLY: What?
DIANA FOWLEY: She was and remains the only surviving victim of an unspecified medical experiment that killed seven doctors with violent and unexplained burning.
MULDER: Who called you?
DIANA FOWLEY: Agent Spender.
SCULLY: Where's Cassandra?
DIANA FOWLEY: She's isolated... pending full and satisfactory medical evaluation.
SCULLY: Cassandra Spender was in a general hospital environment for days. We met with her, and yet on a whim you call in the third battalion. It's unjustified and highly suspicious as to motive.
MULDER: (patiently) Scully...
DIANA FOWLEY: What motives are you suspecting?
SCULLY: Your isolation of Cassandra.
DIANA FOWLEY: She's Patient Zero.
SCULLY: No one is sick or infected here. I mean, I assume that based on you walking in here dressed to the nines offering apologies masquerading as explanations.
MULDER: (firmly) Scully...
SCULLY: Mulder, I want to see Cassandra.
DIANA FOWLEY: I told you-- she's isolated.
SCULLY: Yes, and I am a medical doctor.
DIANA FOWLEY: Who is suspended indefinitely from her position at the FBI.
SCULLY angrily pulls the blood pressure cuff from her arm and strides out of the room. MULDER and DIANA FOWLEY look at each other.
Later. Scully opens a locker and removes a plain gray dress, looks at it in disgust and puts it back in the locker as MULDER enters the locker room.
SCULLY: They've burned our clothes.
MULDER: Hey... I heard gray is the new black.
SCULLY: Mulder, this stinks, and not just because I think that woman is a... well, I think you know what I think that woman is.
MULDER: (sarcastic) No. Actually, you hide your feelings very well.
SCULLY: Agent Spender calling the Centers for Disease Control? Mulder, this is just somebody using their position to stage a hi-tech government kidnapping.
MULDER: Apparently not. I just spoke to AD Skinner. He was at the hospital when Cassandra went missing. He heard Spender make the phone call to the CDC.
SCULLY: But she wasn't sick, Mulder. I mean, the remarkable thing is she was well.
MULDER: Well, then why did she come to my apartment demanding to be killed?
SCULLY: Because of everything that had been done to her-because of the tests, because of the medical experiments and the implant put in her neck - the same thing that was done to me. She just wants it to stop. And I'm telling you, they have taken her so that it can continue.
MULDER: No. It won't continue. It doesn't have to anymore. She knows what she is, Scully. That's why it's so dangerous for her to be alive. That's why she came to my apartment asking to be killed.
SCULLY: What is she?
MULDER: I think she's the one, Scully.

SCENE 6 

EAST 40th STREET  NEW YORK CITY

ELDER's conference room. KRYCEK is holding a medical file.
KRYCEK: I recovered all the medical records form the hospital. The doctors who examined her before she escaped are telling us Cassandra Spender may be the culmination of 25 years of this group's finest efforts.
ELDER 3: That's why the rebels struck. They were trying to kill her.
KRYCEK: They killed everyone but her. They struck to keep her alive - keep us from killing her.
FIRST ELDER: What do the rebels want?
ELDER 3: To destroy us. They know that when the aliens learn of Cassandra colonization will begin.
ELDER 4: We must destroy Cassandra.
CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN: No. Let colonization begin. We must turn over Cassandra. Save ourselves.
ELDER 4: Bill Mulder was against this. He said this would be our tragic mistake.
CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN: Bill Mulder sacrificed his only daughter because he knew this day would arrive. What choice have we... If you want to see your families survive? If we want to see those we sacrificed returned to us?

SCENE 7 

FORT MARLENE  DECONTAMINATION FACILITY  9:02 PM

MULDER enters a deserted hallway. He is wearing a suit that is much too small for him and white socks. Very funny. He sees a nurse with very large white hair.
MULDER: Hello? Hello? Oh, oh, Ma'am. These shoes? They're, they're two sizes too small. I was wondering if I could get a ...
NURSE disappears.
MULDER: (frustrated) A pair that fit, maybe?
The nurse with big white hair disappears. Down the hall, MULDER sees a woman in a hospital gown duck out of view. He limps/runs after her. He enters a lab and looks around.
MARITA COVARRUBIAS: (voice) I can't be seen with you.
MULDER: Marita?
MARITA COVARRUBIAS shows herself. She looks bad - hair unkempt, face is lined and tired.
MARITA COVARRUBIAS: If they catch me with you, they'll kill me this time.
MULDER: Who?
MARITA COVARRUBIAS: The Smoking Man and... his group.
MULDER: What have they done to you?
MARITA COVARRUBIAS: Tests. Terrible, terrible tests.
MULDER: Like the tests on Cassandra Spender?
MARITA COVARRUBIAS: No. No, Cassandra Spender is part of a program that's been going on for 25 years. A hybrid program.
MULDER: Then what were the tests on you?
MARITA COVARRUBIAS: (bitter) I was infected with the alien virus - the black oil. My tests were on the vaccine against it... being developed in secret.
MULDER: In secret from the alien colonists. The hybrid program was in cooperation with the aliens but the conspirators never intended to succeed... to finish the work.
MARITA COVARRUBIAS: They were buying time.
MULDER: To make a vaccine and build a weapon.
MARITA COVARRUBIAS: But Cassandra Spender happened.
MULDER: She's the first, isn't she? She's the first successful alien/human hybrid.
MARITA COVARRUBIAS: If she is... and the aliens learn a hybrid exists... colonization of the planet will begin. With no stopping it.

SCENE 8

CASSANDRA SPENDER is tied to a medical gurney in a room with lots of medical equipment. SPENDER enters.
CASSANDRA SPENDER: Jeffrey. Jeffrey. Jeffrey.
SPENDER: Mom... How are you feeling?
CASSANDRA SPENDER: Uh, fine. Why are they keeping me here?
SPENDER: I'm keeping you here because you're safe here.
CASSANDRA SPENDER: Safe from who?
SPENDER: You know who. From my father.
CASSANDRA SPENDER: You can't keep me safe from him.
SPENDER: I can, Mom and I'm going to. There won't be any more tests on you.
CASSANDRA SPENDER: You don't understand. You don't understand about me.
SPENDER: I do. I understand everything now.
CASSANDRA SPENDER: You don't understand what will happen... what will happen to you if they find me out. You've got to let me go.
SPENDER: They'll just hurt you again, Mom.
CASSANDRA SPENDER: Yes. You must let them. Or everyone dies. Everyone. Jeffrey... please... (SPENDER walks to the door.) Jeffrey... Jeffrey! Jeffrey...
SPENDER leaves the room closing the door behind him.

SCENE 9

LONE GUNMAN office. There is a buzz at the door. FROHIKE goes to the door and unlocks all eight locks and opens the door for MULDER.
MULDER: The latest in home security.
FROHIKE: Hey, you get through this, you got to come through me.
MULDER: I got a call from Scully. Said it was urgent.
MULDER enters the office. All three GUNMEN are present and also SCULLY in a fetching black turtleneck ensemble.
SCULLY: I'll ask you to hear me out before you launch any objection. Mulder, I asked them to pull up everything they could on Diana Fowley.
MULDER: (sigh) I don't have time for this.
SCULLY: Mulder, she's playing you for a fool.
MULDER: I know her, Scully. You don't.
SCULLY: You knew her. You don't anymore. I think we can prove that to you.
BYERS: She took a position in the FBI's foreign counter-terrorism unit in 1991. Seven years in Europe.
SCULLY: Yet there isn't a single piece of information available on her activities in the FBI files.
MULDER: (gives a sarcastic melodramatic gasp) I hope you've got something more than that to indict her with.
SCULLY: Travel records pulled from airline manifests that had been purged from her FBI records. Extensive movement throughout Western Europe. Almost weekly trips to and from Tunisia.
MULDER: For the purpose of what?
LANGLY: That's what we couldn't figure until we took a flyer and we found this.
FROHIKE: Mutual UFO network logs.
MULDER: MUFON.
SCULLY: Special Agent Diana Fowley of the FBI was visiting every European chapter collecting data on female abductees.
MULDER: So she's collecting data. Big deal.
SCULLY: Or hiding it.
MULDER: Scully, you're reaching.
SCULLY: Mulder, when I was abducted a chip was put in my neck. When I happened upon a MUFON group filled with women who'd had the same experience.
MULDER: So you're suggesting that Diana is monitoring these abductees? Monitoring these tests?
SCULLY: You tell me that Cassandra Spender is the critical test subject - the one who could prove everything. And yet, who is watching over her? Mulder, I can prove what you're saying or I can disprove it but not when Diana Fowley is keeping us from even seeing her. Mulder, ask yourself why there is no information whatsoever on Special Agent Diana Fowley. Why she would suddenly happen into your life when you are closer than ever to the truth. I mean, you... you ask me to trust no one and yet you trust her on simple faith.
MULDER: Because you've given me no reason here to do otherwise.
Long Pause.
SCULLY: Well, then I can't help you anymore.
MULDER: Scully, you're making this personal.
SCULLY: Because it is personal, Mulder. Because without the FBI personal interest is all that I have. And if you take that away then there is no reason for me to continue.
MULDER watches her as she walks past him and out of the office.

SCENE 10 

THE WATERGATE APARTMENTS  7:04 PM

MULDER gets out of the elevator and walks down the hall checking the door numbers. He is obviously unfamiliar with this hallway. He knocks at one of the doors.
MULDER: Diana? Diana?
There is no answer. MULDER gets out his lockpick kit and opens the door and enters the apartment. He turns on his flashlight and looks around the apartment. He finds a carton of cigarettes in one drawer and a lot of lingerie in two other drawers. He draws his gun as the door opens again and CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN enters.
MULDER: (aiming gun at CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN) Sorry. Nobody home. What are you doing here?
CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN: The door was open. I came in.
MULDER: Interesting company you keep.
CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN: No more interesting than your apparent ah... lingerie fetish.
MULDER pushes CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN into a chair.
MULDER: You feeling smug, C.G.B.? Yeah, I know your name. I know your game and I got nothing to lose.
CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN: I remember looking over a gun barrel at you once before, Agent Mulder. You couldn't pull the trigger then. What makes you think you can do it now?
MULDER cocks the gun.
CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN: I came here looking for my son.
MULDER: Why?
CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN: Because he's betrayed me. He's chosen the wrong side. He's chosen to believe in your cause.
MULDER: That presumes my cause is wrong.
CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN: Oh, it is, Agent Mulder. It is.
MULDER: I'm not the one using innocent people - innocent women - as lab rats, trying to create a hybrid - an alien/human hybrid - so that I might save my own sorry ass when they finally come knocking...
CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN smiles.
MULDER: You find that funny?
CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN: Your father was against it, too, back in '73. The lone dissenter. But he came to his senses. And gave up your sister, Samantha.
MULDER: He didn't give up my sister. He was forced to. You made him do it.
CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN: Oh, you're wrong, Agent Mulder. I can't tell you how wrong you are. How wrong you've always been. We had agreed to cooperate with the alien colonists. By a majority vote taken by the group your father and I worked for. A group that came together at the State Department on a project dating back to 1947, to Roswell.
Flashback to YOUNG BILL MULDER striding angrily up to ELDERS in the HANGER in 1973.
CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN: The vote changed that, though. It changed everything. We no longer cleaved to any government agency. We would now work privately, on our own project. That was your father'S objection: that we would ally ourselves with the alien colonists.
MULDER: Towards your own selfish end.
CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN: We forestalled an alien invasion.
MULDER: No, you only managed to postpone it.
CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN: We saved billions of lives.
MULDER: You put those lives on hold so you alone could survive.
CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN: No, Agent Mulder, so you could. That's exactly what your father failed to realize. He railed at us and our plans even as the process had begun. While the group had agreed to the most painful sacrifices. Sacrifices that... no one else would ever be asked to make.
Flashback of group of children and YOUNG CASSANDRA walking through the hanger.
MULDER: You gave them your children! You gave them your wife! You sent them away... like they were things.
CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN: We sent them away, Agent Mulder because it was the right thing to do.
MULDER: You sent them away to be tested on.
CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN: We sent them so they would come back to us.
Flashback of doors of hanger opening into a bight light and children and YOUNG CASSANDRA walking into it. ELDERs watch sadly.
CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN: Don't you see? You can't think these choices were made lightly. They were the most painful decisions of our lives. Watching our families' faces...
MULDER: You're a liar. My sister wasn't taken from any hangar. She was abducted from our home right in front of me.
CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN: Because your father was late to understand the necessity. That he, too, must give up one of his children to the alien colonists. The aliens insisted on it. It was the only way they would give us the one thing that we needed.
Flashback of biosuited doctors handling the alien fetus from Erlenmeyer Flask.
CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN: The one thing without which we could not proceed. You see, the alien fetus would give us the alien genome... the DNA with which we could make a human hybrid. A new race, Agent Mulder. An alien/human hybrid who could survive the holocaust. So you could survive. And live to see your sister.
MULDER: (lowering the gun, walking away) And now you've succeeded?
CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN: Quite... in spite of ourselves. (taking out cigarette) The plan was to stall, to resist.
MULDER: To work secretly on a vaccine.
CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN: That was your father's idea. To use the alien DNA to make a vaccine. To save everyone. The world. It's the reason I come along. But it's too late now. Colonization is going to begin. There will be a sequence of events. A state of emergency will be declared because of a massive outbreak of the alien virus delivered by bees. And the takeover will begin. I have only to hand over Cassandra.
MULDER: You can't do that.
CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN: Our hand's been forced by the faceless rebels. We've no choice.
MULDER: (standing) Stop it now or I will stop it.
CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN: No, Agent Mulder. You won't stop it. Not if you want to see your sister again.
MULDER: You stop it... or everyone dies.
CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN: No. (standing) I live. You live... to see your sister return. It's what your father realized. It's just what you'll realize as your father's son. Or die in vain with the rest of the world.
MULDER looks down at a folded piece of paper in CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN's hand.
CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN: Save her. Save yourself.
CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN hands MULDER the paper and walks out of the apartment. MULDER looks very troubled.

SCENE 11 

EAST 46th STREET  NEW YORK CITY

SPENDER enters the ELDER's conference room. It is deserted except for KRYCEK.
KRYCEK: You're looking for your father. He's gone. They've all gone.
SPENDER: But they're coming back.
KRYCEK: No. No, they left for good.
SPENDER: What do you mean?
KRYCEK: Well, they've abandoned these offices.
SPENDER: But they've been here for 50 years.
KRYCEK: I don't think you understand.
SPENDER: Where did they go?
KRYCEK: To West Virginia. They'll be transported by the colonists and begin medical preparations to receive the hybrid genes. Except for your father. He's gone to get your mother.
SPENDER: No one can get to her. I've got her secured away.
KRYCEK: Secured away? He's already had his doctors looking at her.
SPENDER: I've got her under guard.
KRYCEK: She's probably being prepared as we speak, Jeffrey.
SPENDER leaves quickly.

SCENE 12

CASSANDRA's medical room. DOCTOR's enter with a hypodermic needle.
CASSANDRA SPENDER: What do you want now?
DOCTOR: Just lie back, Cassandra. We're just going to remove...
CASSANDRA SPENDER: You leave me alone. Leave me alone!
DOCTOR: Cassandra. Lie back. Relax. It'll be easier.
CASSANDRA SPENDER: Damn it. Help! Leave me alone! Oh, no, you're not going to dope me! No, don't dope me!
DOCTOR: Roll over, please. Roll over.
CASSANDRA SPENDER: (screaming) No! No! Don't! Damn you! Bastards
They inject her. CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN enters the room.
CASSANDRA SPENDER: (sighs) The biggest bastard of all.
CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN: I need a few minutes.
DOCTORS exit.
CASSANDRA SPENDER: They never question it do they?
CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN: What?
CASSANDRA SPENDER: Your power and authority... When you're really such a coward.
CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN: I... I came in hopes that we might speak of the future... not the past.
CASSANDRA SPENDER: I'm at a disadvantage... since you've stolen the past from me.
CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN: I won't defend myself. Except... except to say that... We're here now only because of what I've done. It's due to it.
CASSANDRA SPENDER: I know it now. Only now. But for so many years, I didn't understand-- through all the abductions and the tests- that it was you.
CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN: I ordered them, yes. But it was never my intention to harm you.
CASSANDRA SPENDER: God.
CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN: It was to save you. And Jeffrey.
CASSANDRA SPENDER: You can never save our son. He knows what you've done to me.
CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN: I saved you.
CASSANDRA SPENDER: There's only one way... to save him. Only one thing you must do.
CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN: (shaking his head on the verge of tears) I can't do it to you. I can't.
CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN exits the room quickly.
CASSANDRA SPENDER: I must die or they all die. No! No.

SCENE 13

MULDER is still sitting in DIANA FOWLEY's apartment as she enters and is startled.
DIANA FOWLEY: Geez.
MULDER: I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you.
DIANA FOWLEY: Fox, what are you doing?
MULDER: Nothing. Not a damn thing.
DIANA FOWLEY turns on the light.
MULDER: I came here looking for evidence.
DIANA FOWLEY: What are you talking about?
MULDER: Evidence that you'd lied to me-- that you had loyalties other than to me or to the X-Files.
DIANA FOWLEY: Nothing could be further from the truth, Fox. Nothing.
MULDER: I didn't find anything Diana. But something found me.
DIANA FOWLEY: What?
MULDER: Fate. Destiny. Whatever it's called when you... when you realize the choices you thought you had in life were already made.
DIANA FOWLEY: (kneeling in front of him) Fox, what happened here?
MULDER: You were being paid a visit by young Jeffrey Spender's father. The Cigarette-Smoking Man came looking for his son who has now taken up the futile cause that used to be mine-- against his father.
DIANA FOWLEY: Why futile?
MULDER: Because there's nothing to be done. And at some point, you just have to accept that the only way those you love are going to survive is if you give up.
MULDER hands her the slip of paper from CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN - which reads EL RICO AIR FORCE BASE.
MULDER: That's where it all begins. That's where we need to be if we want to survive it.
DIANA FOWLEY leans in and kisses him on the lips gently. MULDER puts his arms around her shoulders, breaking the kiss, but still holding her.

SCENE 14 

FORT MARLENE  10:13 PM

Medical facility. SPENDER enters the room where CASSANDRA SPENDER was kept. He looks at the empty bed in frustration. MARITA COVARRUBIAS enters.
MARITA COVARRUBIAS: Please help me. They're going to leave me here.
SPENDER: (nervous) Please stay away from me. I can't help you.
MARITA COVARRUBIAS: They're packing everything up. They aren't coming back here. I know you. I can help you.
SPENDER: You can't help me.
MARITA COVARRUBIAS: I know where they're taking her. I know how they're taking her. You've got to trust me, Jeffrey.

SCENE 15 

ROOM 36  CRYOLAB  PURITY CONTROL

DOCTOR puts on protective gear and enters cryolab. He pulls the alien fetus out of liquid nitrogen and puts it into another container. The White haired nurse enters the room.
DOCTOR: Shut the door. This is a highly sensitive area. Get back. You're at high risk of contamination. Leave the room.
The "NURSE" grabs the DOCTOR by the throat and strangles him. DOCTOR scrapes off the nurses face showing that it is actually a faceless rebel. A few moments later "he" leaves the lab.

SCENE 16

MULDER comes out of the apartment with DIANA FOWLEY.
MULDER: (on phone) Hey, Scully. It's me.
SCULLY: (on phone,driving) Mulder, I was just dialing you. Where are you?
MULDER: (on phone) I'm with Diana.
SCULLY: (on phone) I'm coming to get you.
MULDER: (on phone) No. We're coming to get you. You're coming with us.
SCULLY: (on phone) No, Mulder, listen to me. I'm going to take you to Cassandra.
MULDER: (on phone) Cassandra's gone, Scully.
SCULLY: (on phone) I know, but I know where she's gone to, Mulder.
MULDER: (on phone) Scully, it's no use.
SCULLY: (on phone) Mulder, I'm going there whether you're coming or not.
MULDER: (on phone) Going where?
SCULLY: (on phone) To the Potomac yards. They're transporting her by train car.
MULDER: (on phone) Who gave you this information?
SCULLY: (on phone) Agent Spender called me.
MULDER: All right. I'm going to send you on ahead.
DIANA FOWLEY: What is it? What did she say?
MULDER: This may be our last chance to stop them.

SCENE 17

Train yards. Sound of bell clanging . SCULLY is driving car with MULDER alongside the moving train.
MULDER: Turn around. Turn around, Scully.
SCULLY U-turns. Train whistle blowing as train accelerates. SCULLY pulls car in front of train. MULDER and SCULLY get out and fire a total of about 14 shots at the train before jumping out of the way as the train crashes into their car.
DOCTOR: What the hell is that?
We see the "doctor" that is actually a rebel, on the train.

SCENE 18 

EL RICO AIR FORCE BASE  11:21 PM

The ELDERS and their families have gathered.

SCENE 19

Train yard. A car pulls up in front of MULDER and SCULLY. SKINNER is driving.
MULDER: I think this is him.
SKINNER: You going to tell me what the hell is going on?
MULDER: Our lives are in danger. We don't have much time.
SKINNER: Why couldn't you tell me that over the phone?
MULDER: If somebody overheard us, it might create mass panic.
SKINNER: Mass panic over what?
MULDER: El Rico Air Base.
MULDER gets in the back seat, SCULLY up front.

SCENE 20

EL RICO AIR BASE. Medical jeep pulls up. Doctors and CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN get out with CASSANDRA still on a gurney.
FIRST ELDER: We waited to send our communication.
ELDER 3: We were worried something had happened.
CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN: Shots were fired at us.
ELDER 3: By who?
CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN: I don't know.
CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN looks around.
CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN: We have people missing. Where's Alex Krycek?

SCENE 21

KRYCEK is walking through halls of FORT MARLENE. He goes into PURITY CONTROL cryolab in a biosuit. He finds the dead DOCTOR and the now missing alien fetus. He is very upset.

SCENE 22

Later, KRYCEK is walking purposefully down the hall. SPENDER calls to him from a doorway.
SPENDER: Krycek! I'm trying to get out of here.
KRYCEK: What are you talking about?
SPENDER: We can't get past security. They won't recognize my authority to
remove a patient.
KRYCEK looks in the room and is shocked to see MARITA COVARRUBIAS.
SPENDER: My father did this to her. She wants to tell her story.
KRYCEK: You sorry son of a bitch. You don't get it, do you? It's all going to hell. The rebels are going to win. They took it.
SPENDER: They took what?
KRYCEK and MARITA look at each other, then KRYCEK leaves.

SCENE 23

EL RICO AIR FORCE BASE , ELDERs and their families are gathered. A car pulls up and DIANA FOWLEY and CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN get out. Bright light appears at the end of the hanger. Figures begin approaching
ELDER 3: Who sent the communications?
ELDER 4: No one.
FIRSST ELDER: This isn't supposed to be.
CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN and DIANA FOWLEY run back to their car and drive off.
ELDER 3: What is this?
DOCTOR morphs into faceless alien. FACELESS ALIENS approach with fire sticks. ELDERS surround their families, trying to protect them.
FIRST ELDER: Get back. Back! Back! Back! Back! Get back. Back. Back.
Fade into sounds of screaming.

SCENE 24

AD KERSH's office. SKINNER, SPENDER, MULDER, and SCULLY are present. AD KERSH is looking at photos of the burned bodies from the Air Force base. He is very upset by them.
AD KERSH: The way these people died... the loss of life here - it is beyond words. I can't imagine how it must be for you - losing your mother.
SPENDER: Yes, sir. But that's not why I asked for this meeting.
AD KERSH: Why did you ask for it?
SPENDER: Because I'm responsible for the deaths of those people at the Air Base hangar in no small way. I certainly didn't prevent them.
AD KERSH: I can assume then you can explain how they died? Because I have yet to hear any explanation.
SPENDER: Agent Mulder can explain it. I think Agent Scully, to an extent. They might have even prevented what you see in those photos.
AD KERSH: Agents Scully and Mulder have been suspended by the FBI.
SPENDER: Also my doing... and my mistake.
AD KERSH: I would ask...
SPENDER: I'd ask, sir - before you tell me that it's not my business - that you do everything you can to get them back on the X-Files. Far worse can happen... and it will.
AD KERSH: Where are you going?
SPENDER: To pack up my office.
AD KERSH: Agent Spender...
SPENDER leaves the office.
AD KERSH: (to MULDER, angrily) You have answers now? Why didn't I hear about those answers before?
MULDER: I've had answers for years.
AD KERSH: Then why didn't we hear about them?
MULDER: No one would ever listen.
AD KERSH: Who burned those people?
MULDER: They burned themselves. With a choice made long ago by a conspiracy of men who thought they could sleep with the enemy. Only to awaken another enemy.
AD KERSH: What the hell does that mean?
MULDER: It means the future is here, and all bets are off.
AD KERSH: Agent Scully, make some sense.
SCULLY: Sir, I wouldn't bet against him.

SCENE 25

X-Files office. CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN is looking at picture of BILL MULDER and CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN. SPENDER enters.
SPENDER: Get out of here.
CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN: This picture you have - I haven't seen it since you were born. You probably don't even know who the other man is.
SPENDER: I don't care. Get out.
CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN: It's Bill Mulder, Fox Mulder's father. Isn't that something. He was a good man... a friend of mine... who betrayed me in the end.
SPENDER: I know more than enough about your past... enough to hate you.
CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN: Your mother was right. I came here hoping otherwise. (takes out gun) Hoping that my son... might live to honor me... ...like Bill Mulder's son.
CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN reluctantly aims gun and fires at SPENDER, then tucks gun back into his coat and leaves the office.
