The X-Files

Not everything is a conspiracy. You're shaking.

One at a time. What's going on?

- (man) Frohike's close. - Don't use my name!

Now I'll have to kill you!

Langley and I did three sweeps with the CPM-700.

The CPM-700 is a piece of crap!

The acoustic correlator is reading passive sounds.

I still don't know what the hell is wrong!

No one would kill you, Frohike. You're a puppy dog.

I don't say any more until the CSM-25 counter measure filter is activated.

Nothing can cut through the CSM-25.

OK, OK. Now tell us what you're so close to.

Not a what, a who.

If you find the starting point and follow it,

not even secrets of the darkest of men are safe.

Cancer Man?

- What did you find? - (Frohike) Possibly everything.

Maybe his background, who he is, and who he wants to be.

August 20th, 1940, Mexico City.

A Stalinist agent assassinated Leon Trotsky with an ice pick.

At that same moment, a thousand miles north,

in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, he appears.

The father was an ardent Communist activist.

During the Nazi-Soviet pact, he kept the NKVD informed...

...on American plans to enter World War ll.

He was executed under the Espionage Act of 1917...

...before his boy could walk.

The mother, a cigarette smoker, died of lung cancer...

...before her son uttered his first word.

With no family, he became a ward of the state...

...sent to various orphanages in the Midwest.

Didn't make friends.

Spent all his time reading - alone.

And then... he appears to have vanished...

...until a year and a half after the Bay of Pigs.

Premier Khrushchev, we want you!

Premier Khrushchev, we want you!

We're gonna kick your rang-a-dang-doo!

We're gonna kick your rang-a-dang-doo!

Fidel Castro, we want you!

Fidel Castro, we want you!

We're gonna kick your rang-a-dang-doo!

We're gonna kick your rang-a-dang-doo!

Mother Russia...

I wanna see that when you're done with it.

Why don't you go see the movie?

I'd rather read the worst novel ever written than sit through the best movie ever made.

Captain, sir!

General Francis requests you report to his office ASAP, sir!

My one-year-old just said his first word.

- What was the word? - JFK.

Catch ya later, Mulder.

- (buzzer) - (man) He's here, sir.

Send him in.

You wish to see me, sir?

Have a seat, Captain.

Captain, have you ever seen these two men, met the general, or myself?

No, sir.

In January, 1961, did you aid Congo president Kasavuba...

...in the arrest and assassination of Patrice Lumumba?

No, sir.

Did you train Cuban nationals during Operation Zapata...

...also known as The Bay Of Pigs?

I'm sorry, I'm unaware of any such operation.

On May 31st,1961...

...did you aid Dominican locals in the assassination of Rafael Trujillo?

No, sir.

Your father was a convicted spy for the Soviet Union.

Executed in a Louisiana electric chair, was he not?

My only regret, sir, is I was too young to throw the switch myself.

At ease, Captain. Your father's actions were totally out of your control.

Each of us in this room understands a life eviscerated by the actions of another.

Cigarette?

No, thank you, sir. I never touch 'em.

You see, most people seek to control life's events in order to secure a more positive...

...productive and free existence.

Often, however, the objectives of others conflict with our objectives.

Viva la Iibertad.

Now, most people - common people, really -

...can barely manage to control their own self-centred,, myopic existence.

They command lawyers armed with paper weapons...

...attacking with spiteful, vengeful, cowardly litigation.

Others...

...operate within elephantine bureaucracies.

And then, Captain...

...there are extraordinary men.

Those who must identify, comprehend and ultimately shoulder the responsibility...

...for not only their own existence...

...but their country's, and the world's as well.

Your father, Captain, believed his country

should look to another form of government...

...and he took control of that belief.

So, in that respect...

...we view him as an extraordinary man.

And we believe...

...we know, Captain, that it runs in the family.

Now, don't misunderstand.

Your father should have been executed.

Communism is the most heinous personification of evil...

...mankind has ever confronted.

And it is, in part, the reason that you are before us here today.

You must understand everything I'm about to say is classified "compartmentalised."

So intensely that if you accept this assignment...

...and successfully execute it, you will no longer be an officer of the US army...

...nor will any record exist of your service.

The assignment...

...is the assassination of an American civilian, aged 46...

...former naval PT boat commander.

Married, father of two.

Last week this country was brought to the brink of nuclear annihilation.

A situation which never would have arisen had the individual, as commander in chief...

...provided an umbrella of air support during the invasion at Bahia de Cochinos.

Is there a cover story?

Tell 'em it was done by men from outer space.

We've found and are setting up a patsy.

Where?

You shouldn't smoke those, Lee.

I'm reading studies that say they can kill you.

Well...

...Mr Hunt...

...sir...

...I've, uh, heard about those reports and...

...they are no doubt correct.

You'll have a good view of the president today.

I like the president's family. They're interesting people.

However, I have my own views on the president's national policy.

I'll probably just eat lunch.

I'm going to the movies at the Texas Theatre.

It's only 90 cents.

I love the movies.

I brought the curtain rods, Lee.

I bought some just like this back in March.

You did?

Or AJ Hidell?

Well, Mr Hunt, Fidel's defenders have to be careful.

Yes, we do.

I've informed our fellow defender that you'll hide the curtain rods on the 6th floor...

...of the book depository, behind the cartons against the back wall.

The Cuban visa?

Once I've been notified the rods have been removed from the depository...

...the visa and the money for your trip will be in your room.

Take a bus.

I left all my money with my wife.

That's all I've got: 13 and change.

You better get going, Lee. You wouldn't want to miss your ride to work.

Oh! Good morning, Lee. Starting work right on time.

Yes, sir.

The president should be driving past any minute. Everyone's down on the 5th floor.

Where's Lee? Does he wanna come?

The president's car is now turning onto Elm Street.

I was on the Stemmons freeway earlier...

...and it was jam-packed with spectators waiting to see the president.

People are really starting to crowd in.

The motorcade is heading down Elm Street now...

...passing the Texas School Book Depository.

I can't quite see from here. Something has happened on the motorcade route.

Does anyone know what happened? Is there any information?

Upstairs!

- Do you know this man? - Yes, he works for me.

Let's go)!

The president of the United States is dead.

It is official now. President Kennedy is dead.

No! No! No, sir!

I won't be a patsy.

...should be considered dangerous, and use caution approaching.

Afternoon.

I wish to see some form of identification, sir.

Now easy there, partner.

I just wanna talk a minute.

If I don't see valid credentials, I'm gonna assume you're with them.

Them? What do you mean, partner?

How about a cigarette?

Thank you.

You know, Keiffer knocked out a bunker.

All by himself, too.

More guts than me. All I did was pick up the spoils.

But he's really gone.

After Connors and Thurston ran, he knocked out the bunker with one grenade.

Now that's really somethin', huh?

Yeah.

We won't be long.

On your feet. Come on.

It's gonna be all over.

He's got a gun!

Take him down!

I'm not resisting arrest! I'm not resisting arrest!

Stop hitting me, you sons of bitches!

I'm not the one! I'm not the one!

I'm not resisting arrest!

Police brutality! This is police brutality!

I'm not resisting arrest!

Put him in the car!

Let me gm!
