The X-Files

Ow! Dammit!

A bee just stung me.

Well, now...

...don't you all take the cake! Does your mom ever mix you up?

I've come to you at great risk. I mean you no harm.

- He knows about your sister. - How do I know you're for real?

I can explain everything.

First I want you to come somewhere with me.

I want you to come with me to see my mother.

Stay out of his way. He doesn't want to hurt you. You can't use your gun!

Stop right there, sir!

Come on.

Mulder!

Scully, get the car!

This way.

Damn.

This way.

Hey! Jeremiah!

Jeremiah, stop!

- What are you doing? - There'll be more right behind him.

- You can't leave! - They'll kill me!

I need your help!

My mother is dying!

Mulder!

Mulder!

Mulder?

Mulder!

Where are they going?

I don't know.

I need to know.

Please. I don't know.

They'll know where to find us. They'll be waiting for us.

Who?

Your government men will be at the hospital with your mother.

What can they do? They can't stop us without exposure, without consequence.

You have to understand something. I must perish.

The consequences to that end...

...are incalculable to the preservation of the larger plan.

The larger plan?

You mean colonisation?

Hegemony, Mr Mulder. A new origin of species.

- I don't understand. - I can show you.

My mother is dying. I need to take you to see her right now.

And if they are waiting for us...

...if they're willing to kill me and face the consequences...

...to stand before your ineffectual justice system, I will be dead.

I won't be able to save your mother.

The work will go on. The plan will continue to be executed.

- Or you can stop it. - How can I stop it?

I can take you to a place, show you the work in progress, where you can see...

- No! There's no time. - ..where you can see your sister.

- He isn't coming. - I told you.

- Then where is he? - I don't know.

Certainly he anticipated we'd be here waiting.

Unless we had a security leak.

Who?

I've come in receipt of some pictures... of your visit to Mrs Mulder's summerhouse.

Were you aware you were being photographed?

BY Whom?

I believe that can be determined by a simple planting of information...

...to see where that information flows.

What information?

That Mrs Mulder's life is in danger.

That, left unprotected, she may come to an unnatural end.

- Scully. - (Mulder) Scully, it's me.

- Where are you'? - Right where you left me.

I'm sitting here in my car.

Why?

Because you wouldn't answer your phone. I didn't know what to do.

- Are you OK, Scully? - Yes, I'm fine.

There'll be people looking for me. They'll think they can get to me through you.

- Mulder... - Just listen for a second.

I need you to do something for me. I stole a car from an airport in Alberta.

There'll be a record of me going through Customs. I need you to cover my tracks.

I also need you to know I'm OK.

I'm fine. OK?

- Mulder, he's coming after you. - Who?

The man you left for dead. He's alive.

That's it for the gas.

- How much further from here? - About 20 miles.

Maybe half that on foot over those hills.

Let's go.

- Sir? - Agent Scully.

I heard you were looking for me.

There's been concern about you and Agent Mulder.

We're fine, sir. We've been searching for this man, Jeremiah Smith.

- Did you find him? - No.

I received a memo from you that there's more confusion about this man.

Social Security Administration has five men with this name working in branch offices...

...with identical photo IDs.

We ran a check on these men. All five have not reported to work in three days.

Would you or Agent Mulder let me in on what your suspicions are?

I'm afraid we haven't exactly formulated any clear suspicions, sir.

- Well, we have, Agent Scully. - Sir?

We downloaded the hard-drive data...

...from each of the five missing men's workstations.

We found an enormous amount of files and data that cannot be identified...

...do not correspond with any kind of document collection...

...done as normal departmental business.

The data was all locked in password files.

- How much of it is there? - Enough to fill seven 10GB hard drives...

...roughly a billion entries.

It appears to be some kind of personal recordkeeping or accounting.

- Could it be some kind of cryptogram? - If it is, I can't crack it.

I'd like to get a copy of a portion of this. I might be able to figure it out.

- Seriously? - Maybe. There's someone I want to run it by.

- Agent Mulder? - No.

I think, sir, this is more along my field of expertise.

What happened to this man?

I wouldn't touch the body, Mr Mulder.

There's a work order here.

It's for yesterday.

He's only been here a little more than 24 hours.

You know what killed him, don't you?

It's not much further.

You're looking at the future, Mr Mulder.

- What is it? - A flowering shrub.

But its specific epithet can't be found on any of your taxonomic charts.

- Being grown for what? - Pollen.

What is this?

- What's going on here? - What did I tell you?

That looks just like my sister.

But that's not possible. She's no older than the day she was taken.

Samantha?

Samantha?

Samantha?

Samantha?

Samantha?

Samantha, it's me.

It's me, Fox, your brother.

Do you remember me?

- What's wrong with her? - She has no language.

- What do you mean? - She's a drone, Mr Mulder. A worker.

What are you talking about?

There's more you should see so that you might understand.

How'd they get here?

They're stationed here. They're part of an agrarian workforce.

- Who takes care of 'em? - They take care of themselves.

Parenting is unnecessary, a needless division of energy.

- They're clones. - Serial ovotypes.

Have you seen enough? We can't stay around here much longer.

I'll go see if I can find some gas.

Open the door, Agent Scully.

- How did you know I was here? - I've been trying to reach Agent Mulder.

I watched you enter the building. Where is he?

I don't know.

I have information that would concern him greatly.

- Concern him how? - Concerning his mother.

- Has something happened to her? - No. No, not yet.

- Is she in danger? - I prefer to speak with Agent Mulder directly.

Let me just say she is unprotected.

From whom?

From whom?

If you want to involve yourself, you'd do well to give this information to your partner.

Not until you give me some information first.

These are data entries from Social Security records.

- You're going in the wrong direction. - All beginning with the letters S-E-P.

You know what these are. Confirm or deny.

Smallpox Eradication Program.

Smallpox.

Don't unlock doors you're not prepared to go through.

- What's that supposed to mean? - Leave it alone.

Protect the mother.

What are you doing?

- She's coming with us. - You can't do this. She's not your sister.

Well, then who is she?

You have a chance here to understand something so much greater, to expose it.

Then explain it to me. Explain it to me now!

- Bees. - It's an apiary.
