The X-Files: Fight the Future
WARNING: SPOILERS FOR THE MOVIE
If
you would like to contribute to this list, please e-mail me at MaritaSRSG@aol.com--I
would really appreciate it! Also, this list was made with the help of the official movie novel adapted by Elizabeth Hand, based on
the screenplay by Chris Carter and a story by Chris Carter and Frank Spotnitz, although the bulk of material here were recorded
solely by me (and my sis Ellen) in my second trip to see this movie. Comments in these brackets {} are made by Amber; I need to really thank her for her help! Also, Claudia has pointed out that the name Strughold is first seen in "Paper Clip" in the form of a building. Thanks, everyone who has contributed! Acknowledgement of those who wrote and recognized a tribute to the one and only Ratboy during the car explosion: The Rat Rulz, M. Ikeda
"Teaser" location and date: North Texas, 35000 B.C.
Present day: North Texas, Blackwood County
The kid who fell down: Stevie; there are 3 more boys, two which are identified as Jeremy and
Jason.
Fire engines: Captain Miles Cooles, 119, 11, calls for a "14-footer" to go down the hole.
According to the book, one of the firemen Cooles was contacting through the talkie was named
J.C., but it sounded like T.C. in the theater.
The white unmarked trucks were "Freightliners."
The person who steps out from the chopper: Dr. Ben Bronschweig.
I've not double-checked in the movie, but according to the book, Cooles sent five men down.
This is a little weird considering there were 3 bodies in the explosion and 1 kept to test the vaccine. If anyone knows the
whereabouts of the fifth fireman, please contact me! {the mystery of the missing fireman:
the fire dude sends two guys into the hole they go and get infested with the black oil, when they dont come up, he spouts off two other names so there where 4 fireman. even so this still doesnt make sence because there where 4 bodies found, but one was the little boy. hhmm...}
Federal Building, Dallas, Texas, One Week Later
The chopper Special Agent-in-Charge Darius Michaud was on: N87WC
According to Scully, she has climbed 12 floors when she is phoned by Mulder on the roof.
There is an ARCO building in the background, as well as an AT&T building and one with the address of 411.
According to Mulder, this day is Free Beer Night at the AstroDome.
According to the novel, there were 15 agents on the top of the Federal Building, not including
Michaud. Also, the dogs present were Dobermans and German Sheperds.
Mulder asks Scully if she would like Pepsi, Coke, or Saline IV. She answers, "Something sweet."
The man walking out of the vending room was wearing a patch indicating his name as "Paul." {the man walking out of vending machine room:
i thought the patch on his shirt said david. i remember this cause i thought it was cute how the bomber was named after david duchovny.} However, watching the movie again seems to confirm Paul.
In the same direction as the vending room are the restrooms.
Mulder calls Scully at 555-0113.
Drop box at the end of the hall: "Drop It Here; It's as Good as There"
Bomb: Demolition Block Composition C4
Mulder gives Scully 14 minutes to evacuation, and starts countdown at 13:56 (the book says
13:59, but I'm pretty sure it's wrong).
Scully asks evacuation for a 1 mile radius within the next 10 minutes.
The vending room number is 129.
School bus within the block: 197
Police car present: 2869 (not the license plate)
Fire truck #1 present; some license plates: 224 ___, plus 451
Before Scully comes in the vending room, the book gives the countdown time as 7:00. After the
SAC comes in, the time is 4:07.
Michaud identifies the bomb as a big I.E.D. with 10 gallons of astrolite.
The police car Scully and Mulder get into: 3761; license plate 87(3)4 538

Jane Cassidy claims that because of Waco and Ruby Ridge, there is a heightened need to place blame ASAP for the catastrophic destruction of public property and loss of life due to terrorist activities.
5 people were dead in the exploded building: SAC Michaud, 3 firemen, and the boy Stevie
The damage to the building costs approximately $45 million (not $40 mil.as indicated in the
book).
Scully meets with the OPR two days from now; she mentions a transfer to Omaha, Cleveland
(not Wichita)
Casey's Bar ["lunch service at the bar"], Southeast Washington, D.C.
86 is Mulder's lucky number--is that how much he drank? I don't know much about drinking,
much less about tequila, which I don't know if it's even relevant...
Mulder does his business on an "Independence Day" poster. Sorry to offend any of you, but I
would too, if I were him.
Dr. Alvin Kurtzweil is OB-GYN and was a fellow "traveler" along with William Mulder.

the movie); Mulder claims he was drunk until 20 minutes ago. Scully's apt. no. is here just 5.
North Texas, Blackwood
The body temperature of the infested fireman was of 98.6 degrees (I am assuming this is Celsius?). [contribution by FaBI: 98 degrees Celsius is too much. Normal temperature
for a body is 36,5C. 100C is what takes the water to boil. It must be
Farenheit.]

.70--I wrote this no. down in the dark and forgot its significance--do any of you know?
Kurtzweil appears to be a University of Maryland grad. He has written at least two books, one of
which is The Four Horseman of the Global Domination Conspiracy. The other seems to be The Countdown to the Apocalypse. Some journals found in his apt.: National Gynecology & Obstetrics, Obstetrics and Gynecology; huge Gynecology text on shelf
