The X-Files

One, two, three, four!

[RAMONES' "CALIFORNIA SUN" PLAYING OVER RADIO]

Mulder.

...Mulder.

. . . Mulder.

Mulder.

...Mulder.

Mulder...Mulder.

Mulder. Hmm.

Well, I'm going out west where I belong

Hmm. ...Mulder.

What?

Fox Mulder. Langly?

Um...

I believe-- I believe you knew me as Langly.

Richard Langly. Ringo Langly.

Lone Gunmen Langly?

And I'll Walk a little Walk

I'll twist a little twist

And I'll shimmy a little shimmy

And I'll fly a little fly

Mulder, I need to know.

Am I dead?

If I am, they know that I know.

Know that he knows what?

Go.

Well, I'm going out west out on the coast

Where the California girls are really the most

And I'll Walk a little Walk

I'll twist a little twist

And I'll shimmy a little shimmy

And I'll fly and they'll shimmy

And I'll fly and they'll fly

Where they're out there having fun In the warm California sun

Where they're out there having fun--

Scully?

You all right? There's one in the room.

Behind the couch.

Two down, all clear.

Mulder.

Mulder.

Am I...

."dead?

If I am...

...they know that I know.

Better call it in from a landline. Yeah.

This is Special Agent Dana Scully, XF072161.

Yes, Washington, D.C. Field Office.

Yes, I'm calling in an incident where multiple gunshots were exchanged.

There are two suspects on the ground.

No, we weren't injured.

Agent Mulder's residence, yes.

Yeah. Faras Corner.

227700 Wallace Road.

You're careful not to taint that, but you're willing to conceal this?

You said taint.

This may not be related to that.

Yes, but we're not gonna know unless it's properly investigated.

Scully, 1O minutes ago, we received a message...

...from a man who's been dead for 16 years.

Now you want me to hand it to Evidence...

...where it's gonna sit in a locker for two, three years?

I was gone back then.

Could--? Could Langly be alive?

No.

I was at Langly's-- At the Lone Gunmen's...

...burial in the Arlington Cemetery.

But did you ever see Langly's body?

Well, nobody did.

They were exposed to a weaponized strain of the Marburg virus.

Their bodies were incinerated. It's gotta be connected.

That-- That whatever Langly message and this.

They know that he knows. Who's they?

I mean, it's-- It's-- It's too much of a coincidence, right?

I think that the Langly message was warning us these guys were coming.

It wasn't warning us.

It-- It asked if he were dead.

What do you think it was?

I don't know what I think. I don't know.

But I'll tell you what I do know.

We gotta take a trip to IKEA.

Well, that was fast.

What is that?

The Critical Incident Response Group? Never.

I got 14 rounds. Eight.

Don't answer the phone.

If we use the phone, they may be able to pinpoint our exact location in the house.

Identify yourself.

Can't hear you. Answer your phone.

Should I call Skinner?

We haven't talked to him in a couple weeks, and I don't know where he stands.

We are federal agents. We are armed. Identify yourselves.

Hold on, hold on, see, the "we are armed" thing.

That is a problem for you. Put down your guns. Come out.

Hello? Skinner, it's Scully. I'm with Mulder.

Listen to me, Scully. MAN". You don't have much “me.

Surrender. I can't explain on an open line, but I can't help you right now.

Waiting!

The only chance you have is to put down your weapons and surrender.

You know what you did.

We defended ourselves.

Yeah, yeah, that's what they all say.

But see, they were wearing body cams.

You know how that turns out for the ones who weren't.

Skinner says surrender.

Why should we surrender? To who?

I don't know. Why are we under suspicion?

Identify yourselves or we'll be forced to consider you hostile agents...

...and respond with deadly action and the aggressive action.

Identify ourselves? No.

We don't need to identify ourself.

What world are you living in?

MAN 2

MAN 3

MAN 2

Where's your phone, bro?

Easy for Orwell to say.

"I want to believe."

Here's what I believe.

We would've all saved lots of money and headaches if we only knew...

...that Americans would have been just fine losing the Cold War.

If they could only make a little money off of it.

You guys there, find his phone.

You two, watch these two.

Once we find his phone--

[LANGLY SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY OVER CELL PHONE]

Hold on, hold on. Hold on. Shh, shh.

[LANGLY SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY OVER CELL PHONE]

LANGLY". This is Richard Langly.

Richard Langly. Ringo Langly, I need to know.

Well, well, well, Ringo. Am I dead?

You're never going to know.

And neither will these two.

Surrender?

Give up?

I'm risking my own ass being out here.

Who are they? Why are you so afraid?

They're not U.S. Intelligence, I'll tell you that much.

The commander was Russian.

Skinner, tell us who they are.

It's Perlu Services.

American security contractor with headquarters in Moscow.

A private contractor has ascendancy over the FBI?

When they're a classified security directive.

From the Executive Branch.

I thought they were questioning you guys, why would they want to kill you?

You tell us.

They're not supposed to kill Intelligence agents, but apparently they will.

You need to come with me.

Do you have any money?

Take it.

It's all I have on me.

Is Langly alive?

Lone Gunman Langly?

You and I buried him in Arlington along with Byers and Frohike.

You didn't answer my question.

L just did.

He's buried in Arlington.

Hack Mulder's phone.

Find out how he contacted Mulder.

Kill switch.

Here's Byers.

Frohike. What are we looking for, Mulder?

Knowing Langly, bread crumbs.

His birthdate is wrong.

October 13th, we shared the same birthday.

Byers was born on the day Kennedy was assassinated, so that's correct.

Frohike.

1945.

Frohike look 57 to you when he died?
