The Red and the Black

(Mulder gently moves the hair off of Scully's face, waking her up.)
Scully: "Mmm. What time is it?"
Mulder: (Laughs ) "'What time is it?' It's time to thank your lucky stars."
Scully: "Why are you laughing?"
Mulder: "I'm not laughing at you. I'm just very happy to be standing here talking to you. That's all."
Scully: "Mulder, what am I doing here?"
Mulder: "You were air-lifted here in vasogenic shock."
Scully: "From what?"
Mulder: "You've got some first-degree burns and scorching on yours hands and face."
Scully: "From what?"
Mulder: "You don't remember?"
Scully: "Mulder..."
(She see's the news report on incident on the television behind Mulder: "This second cult suicide in southeastern Pennsylvania--the site of over 50 deaths so far--with many more members in serious or critical condition. Authorities are still attempting to learn what was behind this bizarre event.")
Mulder: "Is any of this coming back to you?"
Scully: "I was there?" (Mulder sighs ) "Well, doing what?
Mulder: "I was hoping that you were going to answer that question for me."

Scully: (Looking at pictures of the bridge in Pennsylvania ) "I don't know what to say. I mean, I-I don't have the first clue. There's nothing here."
Mulder: "Well, at least you're not alone. None of the other survivors have been able to give a cogent account either."
Scully: "Mulder, I have never been here. I couldn't tell you how to get here, let alone drive it."
Mulder: "Do you remember when you last saw Cassandra Spender?"
Scully: "She was there, too?" (She sighs and there is a long pause)
Mulder: "I ran more X-rays. I haven't told anybody yet what I've found, though."
Scully: "You found more implants?"
Mulder: (Shakes head ) "That would explain how you were directed to the site, and why you can't remember. That would explain the sensation Cassandra Spender was describing. Her abduction fantasies. It would explain Skyland Mountain."
Scully: "Yeah, but it wouldn't explain why they would want to kill me and it doesn't explain why I survived."
Mulder: "It all comes down to a question, Scully, one that hasn't been answered or...I don't even think honestly addressed is who made that chip in your neck? That chip was found in a military research facility. Our government made that chip and implanted it in your neck as part of a secret military project to develop a biochemical weapon. To monitor your immunity or to destroy you like a lab rat if the truth were to be exposed. And your cancer...your cure...everything that's happening to you now...it all points to that chip. The truth I've been search for? The truth is in you." (Long pause)
Scully: "Mulder, when I met you five years ago, you told that your sister had been abducted...by aliens and that that event had marked you so deeply that nothing else mattered. I didn't believe you, but I followed you on nothing more than your faith that the truth was out there. Based not on facts, not on science, but on your memories that your sister had been taken from you. Your memories were all that you had."
Mulder: "I don't trust thoses memories now."
Scully: "Well, whether you trust them or not, they've led you here...and me. But I have no memories to either trust nor distrust, and if you ask me now to follow you again, to stand behind you in what you now believe...without those memories, I can't. I won't."
Mulder: "If I could give you those memories...if I could prove that I was right and that what I believed for so long was wrong..."
Scully: "Is that what you really want?"

< Well Manicured Man: "He's a resistance fighter againt the alien colonists. This is what Alex Krycek knew, that war had begun."
Elder: "What good was that knowledge? Without the vaccine against the black oil, no one can survive."
Well Manicured Man: "We have a vaccine. Developed by the Russians, stolen by Krycek, given to me. Do you see what this means? Resistance is possible. We have the weapons and the magic in hand."

Dr. Werber: "Just close your eyes and take long deep breaths...relaxing all parts of your body. Long, deep breaths. Relaxing your hands and your feet. Relaxing your jaw, your pelvis. Long, deep breaths. Back to the night place."
Scully: "I don't think this is working. Oh, my god!! Oh, my god!! Oh, my god!!"
Dr. Werber: "Where are you, Dana?"
Scully: "I'm, uh..I'm with the others."
Dr. Werber: "Are you in the night place?"
Scully: "Yes. There's a ship. I see it. And then...and then it was gone. Oh!!" (She reaches out to Mulder)
Dr. Werber: "What is it, Dana?"
Scully: (She holds hands with Mulder) "They're back!! Oh, no, they've...they're on fire! Oh, god! They're setting them on fire! I can't..."
Dr. Werber: "Who? Who's doing this?"
Scully: "Their faces. I can't... They have no faces. I... They have no eyes. Oh, god!! They're coming at us!! They're surrounding us! They won't stop!! They won't stop and... There's... There's another one. There's another ship. They see it. They were attacking them."
Dr. Werber: "Who were they attacking, Dana?"
Scully: "The...the faceless men. They're... Oh, my god!! I can't..."
Dr. Werber: "Do you want to stop, Dana?"
Scully: "No. Now it's coming at us! Oh, my god!! No!! Cassandra!"
Dr. Werber: "Where's Cassandra?"
Scully: "They're...they're taking her. They're... Oh, my god!! I can't..."
Dr. Werber: "Dana? Dana, I'm going to stop now. I want you to open your eyes."
Scully: "No. I..."
Dr. Werber: "I want you to open your eyes, Dana, and come on back. Dana, I want you to open your eyes and come on back to us."
Scully: "Okay." (To Mulder:) "You've been here the whole time?"

Skinner: "And your interpretation?"
Mulder: "That Agent Scully witnessed a very powerful event. Not unlike the one I described on my regression tape, of the false memory of my sister's abduction."
Skinner: "Agent Scully?"
Scully: "I've listened to the tape several times and I don't have a clear recollection of what I hear myself saying, but I also don't see any reason why I'd be saying it."

Skinner: "I need to know what happened."
Mulder: "It was staged."
Skinner: "To?"
Mulder: "To test a classified military project or to cover it up."
Skinner: "Then what I want to know is what happened to Cassandra Spender?"
Mulder: "Cassandra Spender was taken aboard a military aircraft as part of the staging."
Skinner: "Over the past five year, I've doubted you only to be persuaded by the power of your belief in extraterrestrial phenomenia. And I'm doubting you now, not because of that belief, but...because extraterrestrial phenomenia is frankly the more plausible explaination."

Scully: "Why are you here, Agent Spender? Why did you show this to me?"
Spender: "Because I think the process is bogus. Dr. Werber and his whole regression of memory is B. S. It's like having a dream and then pretending it's real."
Scully: "I think that Dr. Werber would beg to differ."
Spender: "He indulged and infantilized my mother for his own purposes. I think he's dangerous and that his methods are unsound. If you went through it, I hope you'd question what came out of it."
Scully: "Well, I appreciate your opinion, Agent Spender, but I don't have a mother feeding me abduction stories."
Spender: "You've got Agent Mulder, don't you? How many times have you heard the stories he's told? How about the one about his own sister? Don't let yourself be used."

Krycek: "You must be losing, Mulder. I could beat you with one hand."
Mulder: "Isn't that how you like to beat yourself?" (Krycek cocks the gun) "If those are my last words, I can do better."

Krycek: "There is war raging and unless you pull your head out of the sand, you and I and about five billion other people are about to go the way of the dinosaur. I'm talking planned invasion. The colonization of this planet by an extraterrestrial race."
Mulder: (Laughs) "I thought you were serious."
Krycek: "Kazakhstan, Skyland Mountain, the site in Pennsylvania. They're all alien lighthouses where the colonization will begin. But where now, a battle is being waged. A struggle for heaven and earth. Where there is one law: fight or die. And one rule: resist or serve."
Mulder: "Serve who?"
Krycek: "Not who...what."

Krycek: "The mass incinerations were strikes by an alien rebellion to upset plans for occupation."

Scully: "What are you doing sitting here in the dark?"
Mulder: "Thinking."
Scully: "Thinking about what?"
Mulder: "Oh, the usual--destiny, fate...how to through a curve ball...the inextricable relationships in our lives that are neither accidental nor somehow in our control either."
Scully: "Well, I've just taken a long walk and I've reconsidered that I may have been wrong about what I believed happened to me."
Mulder: "I've been doing some reconsidering of my own."

Scully: "What is this?"
Mulder: "Maybe an answer...to a question you and I seem to have been destined to ask."
