The X-Files

It's gonna crash.

Are you saying these men are clones?

Unless you protect us, we are already dead.

- Who is Mom talking to? - Your sister.

I'm in danger, Fox.

- Scully. - (Mulder) Scully, it's me. Where are you?

Scully? Are you there?

Scully?

Sir.

Captain.

- What have you got? - I'm not sure, sir.

We picked up some paint approximately two minutes ago.

- Looks like it's just hanging there. - It's 200 metres below the ice.

Looks to be about 80 metres across and it's noisy.

- Noisy how? - It's emitting radio signals...

...but it's just random noise, sir. We can't detect any pattern.

Get me Pacific Command on the satellite uplink.

Admiral. I don't know what we've found, but it appears to be some kind of craft.

Yes, sir, that's correct.

But we're on a cartography mission, Admiral. My crew isn't prepared to...

Yes, sir.

Understood, sir.

Set a course. Heading 047.

Toward the object, sir?

Weapons room. Lock torpedoes on target. Prepare to fire on command.

- Captain, shouldn't we identify it? - We have our orders, Lieutenant.

- But, sir... - (piercing tone)

The reactor's gone down.

- Engine room! - That won't work. We're on battery power.

I'm going down there. Prepare to surface at once!

Surface into what? We're under 32 feet of glacial ice.

Scully? Are you there?

Scully? What's going on?

No. Sorry.

- Who was that? - It's a wrong number.

- Where have you been, Mulder? - I was trying to reach you.

I went by your house, but you weren't there. I got here as quickly as I could.

- Why didn't you call me? - I did call. I couldn't get through.

- Put your hands against the wall. - Scully...

I said put your hands against the wall!

- What's wrong? - Do it!

Scully, it's me.

I don't know who you are.

I'm gonna take my left hand and reach into my pocket for my ID, OK? Don't shoot me.

- I got shot once and I didn't much... - I said keep your hands up!

Where is he?

That was him on the phone, wasn't it?

Tell me where he is.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Scully!

He's been here.

Your partner is alive. He took her to get me.

- But she wouldn't have just let him in. - She might not have known who he was.

She might have thought it was you.

He'll contact you.

He'll say he wants to make a trade - your partner's life for mine.

- Why does he want to kill you? - Because I know how to kill him.

- How? - By piercing the base of his skull.

- That'll kill anybody. - Yes, but this is the only way to kill him.

- I'm fairly sure it'll work. - Fairly sure?

He's got powers I've never seen before. If it doesn't work, you could die.

From what?

Their blood is toxic. Human exposure to it is fatal.

- I know this must seem incredible... - No. No, no.

That's just it. It doesn't seem incredible at all. How do we find him?

We don't. He'll find us.

- He'll call. - You're sure.

- I know what he wants. - And if he doesn't get it?

- I know this is hard for you, Fox. - No, it's not hard. It's unbelievable.

- You don't believe me. - After 22 years, why come back?

- I've explained. - You've explained only what you had to!

I know next to nothing about your so-called parents or the man who wants to kill them!

The men you've been seeking are the progeny of two original visitors.

Clones who have been attempting to establish a colony here since the late 1940s.

- A colony? - Loosely.

The community, by necessity, is dispersed.

Clones identical to my parents live in virtually every part of the country.

What are they trying to accomplish?

It's their belief that our stewardship of the planet is being forsaken...

...and that, by default, they'll become the natural heirs.

And in the meantime?

Through hybridisation they've been erasing that aspect

which has forced them to scatter:

...their identical natures.

All the clones worked in abortion clinics. Why?

Access to foetal tissue. Though the biologies are incompatible...

...they finally found a way to combine human DNA with alien DNA.

And this man... Why has he been sent to kill them?

The experiments weren't sanctioned.

It was considered a dilution of their species, a pollution of their race.

So a bounty hunter was dispatched to destroy them and terminate the colony.

That's a good story. But I've heard a lot of good stories lately.

I've got no reason to lie to you.

I'm your sister, Fox. You have to trust me.

Who is it?

Skinner.

- Mulder? - The door's open.

Make yourself at home.

What's going on, Agent Mulder? Why are the lights out?

Orders from my ophthalmologist.

- Are you all right? - Yeah, I'm fine.

I've been trying to reach you and Agent Scully.

I haven't checked my messages.

Agent Scully incarcerated four men with the federal marshal's office...

...and those men are now missing.

It's all right. It's not him.

What the hell is going on here, Mulder?

- This is my sister. Samantha Mulder. - What?

I've no time to explain. Agent Scully is missing.

- What do you mean, missing? - (phone)

- Hello. - Mulder, it's me.

- Scully, where are you? - I don't know. I'm in a telephone booth.

He's got my gun, Mulder. He says he'll kill me if you don't give him what he wants.

- What does he want? - A woman who is with you.

He says you'll know what I'm talking about.

- Tell him we'll negotiate. - He doesn't wanna negotiate.

- He says he wants to make a trade. - All right, let me speak to him!

He says be at Memorial Bridge in Bethesda in one hour.

- Scully, I need more time than that. - Mulder...

Where is she? What's this negotiation?

We don't have any time. If I ever needed your help, your trust, I need it now.

Mulder's in position.

We just need to make him think we're gonna make a trade.

- We just need one shot. - To the base of the neck.

These guys can hollow out a dime at 200 yards.

Now, Samantha...

Do not take any unnecessary risks out there.

Scully?

Bring her out.

Take your shot when you got it.

Step close. Right up close.

- Are you all right? - Yeah.

- Yeah? - I'm OK.

Samantha!

I lost the shot.

There's no way out. We got both sides of the bridge covered.

Now let her go!

- Tell me where she is. - Let her go!

Samantha!

Samantha!

Spread it out.

Clear.

There's some debris under the bridge.

- Mulder... - You should be in the hospital, Scully.

I was discharged an hour ago.

- Have they found anything yet? - Nothing yet.

Do you think she could have survived?

- Maybe. But the water's 36°. - Maybe she went into hypothermic shock.

I've heard about people that have lived after being in water like this eight to ten hours.

Mulder, why didn't you tell me on the phone that it was her?

- I couldn't tell you. - Why not?

Because you'd never let me go through with it.

- Are you sure that it's your sister? - Why would you even question me on that?

Because back at the motel it was you. But it wasn't you.

Well, it was her!

- Then who is this man and where's he... - He's an alien.

- Is that what you're gonna tell Skinner? - I already told him. That was easy.

Now I gotta tell my father.

You didn't have me come all this way to give me good news.

What is it, FOX?

Samantha's gone... Dad.

I lost her.

What do you mean, you lost her?

There was a man.

He was holding my partner hostage in exchange for Samantha.

You let this man take your sister.

Isn't that what you're trying to tell me?

I can't explain it to you, but, um...

I believed I was doing the right thing, Dad.

Was this your decision?

Yes.

I'll tell Mom.

Do you realise what losing her again is going to do to your mother?

Do you?

I'm sorry, Dad.

I'm sorry.

I'm... I'm sorry.

Your sis...

Samantha left this at the house for you.

- Mulder. - Mulder, it's me.

Scully, she left a path in case we got separated. I think she's alive.

Mulder, I think you should come back as soon as you can.

Why? What'd you find?

It's your sister.

We just pulled her body out of the river.

Mulder, I'm so sorry.

- Are you sure? - Yeah.

You know...

Whatever you're feeling, you can't blame yourself.

What about a second body? Did you find a second body?

No, not yet.

I'll be there as soon as I can.

- Agent Scully, something you need to see. - What is it?

It's the body we pulled from the water. Something strange is happening.

Federal agent. Keep your hands where I can see them and turn around. Slowly.

Who are you?

- She's dead, isn't she? - What the hell is going on?

Come, please. There's not much time.

Who are you?

Please.
