Will the witness please rise and take the oath.
I, Dana Katherine Scully, swear to tell the truth,
the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me God.
I would, uh, like to read from a prepared statement.
You may do so.
"I left behind a career in medicine
"to become an FBI agent four years ago
"because I believed in this country,
"because I wanted to uphold its laws,
"to punish the guilty and to protect the innocent.
"I still believe in this country, but I believe
"there are powerful men in the government who do not.
"Men who have no respect for the law
and who flout it with impunity."
Ms. Scully...
"I have come to the conclusion
- that it is no longer possible..." - Agent Scully.
This is not a soapbox,
Ms. Scully.
Your statement
will be entered into the record.
With all due respect, Mr. Chairman,
I would like to finish.
This is not
why we are here today.
Then why are we here, sir?
Agent Scully, do you or do you not know
the whereabouts of Agent Mulder?
Are you or are you not
aware of Agent Mulder's present location?
I respectfully decline to answer that question, sir.
Ms. Scully, you cannot refuse to answer...
Because I believe answering that question
could endanger Agent Mulder's life.
You don't seem to understand.
Your response is not optional.
You're an agent of the FBI.
Well, then if I may please finish my statement.
"...that it is no longer possible
for me to carry out my duties as an FBI agent."
Are you tendering your resignation, Agent Scully?
Is that what you're trying to say?
No, sir.
What I am saying
is that there is a culture of lawlessness
that has prevented me from doing my job.
That the real target of this committee's investigation
should be the men who are beyond prosecution and punishment,
the men whose secret policies
are behind the crimes that you are investigating.
Either you tell us what you know
about Agent Mulder's whereabouts,
or you will be held in contempt of Congress.
Agent Scully?
Everything's in order.
Have a nice day, ma'am.
Thank you very much.
There you go, sir.
All right. Thank you.
Where are you coming from?
Japan.
Did you travel anywhere else?
The Republic of Georgia.
The purpose of your trip.
Government business.
Okay. I'm going to ask you
to see the customs official right through those doors there.
What for? I'm traveling on a United States diplomatic visa.
Random check, sir.
Please proceed through the doors.
I've got a connecting flight.
Right through those doors, sir.
Right over here, sir.
I don't know what this is about.
I have diplomatic papers.
I can't be treated like this.
Is that your only piece of luggage, sir?
Yes.
Can you open it for me.
No.
Sir, I'm not offering it as a choice.
Open the briefcase, or we'll open it for you.
I don't have the combination.
Vince.
I need a strip
and full body cavity search of this man.
There's going to be hell to pay for this treatment.
Sir, would you mind telling me exactly
what kind of diplomatic work you do, sir,
and what material you're transporting in these?
That is... those are filled with biohazardous materials.
Then where's the paperwork,
and why aren't the containers marked?
Don't open those... whatever you do.
That material cannot be exposed...
Listen to me.
Open this door!
Somebody open this door!
Somebody!
Somebody open this door!
Somebody let me out of here!
What the hell is this?
Somebody!
Oh, my God!
The door...
Please let me out of here!
Oh, my God!
Open the door!
Somebody let me out of here!
Get me out now!
Get me out of here!
Somebody help...!
We can't go in too soon.
We got to be patient. It'll happen.
What makes you so sure?
I've received a series of receipts over the past few weeks
for detonation cord, for racing and diesel fuel
and for 80 bags of ammonium nitrate
purchased in cash in three different states
under three different signatures.
What makes you so sure that it's here, that it's tonight?
Last night, I received two new receipts:
one for first and last on the storage space at this address,
and one to rent a two-ton truck yesterday.
Both purchased with the same signature.
We could be looking at the next Oklahoma City.
Well, so who do you think's leaking them,
and why would they leak them to you?
We've got traffic.
They're leaving.
Hold.
- Go! - Back it up!
All right, get down on the ground! Drop your weapons!
Everybody down!
Down on the ground!
Back it up! Back it up!
Drop your weapons
and get down on the ground!
Throw the smoke!
Gas!
Steady!
Fire!
Get down! Everybody get down!
Mulder!
Cover the driver's side.
Federal agent. I'm armed.
Exit the vehicle now.
Driver's dead.
I counted two men.
Get out of the truck!
Let me see your hands!
Hands in the air!
You son of a bitch.
Mulder!
I handed you this bust, Mulder!
Oh, come on, Krycek!
Who do you think sent you those receipts?
Most of the detonation cord
was stolen from a construction site,
and some of the explosives
were just taken from a military base.
I mean, security's just so lax, it's a joke!
Most everything else was over the counter.
2,000 kilos of boom-boom.
How'd you get involved
with these men?
They found me in North Dakota.
They liberated me on a salvage hunt.
Hey, you go underground,
you got to learn to live with the rats.
I'm sure you had no trouble adapting.
These men are pathetic revolutionaries
who would kill innocent Americans
in the name of bonehead ideologies.
You're full of crap, Krycek.
You're an invertebrate scum-sucker
whose moral dipstick's about two drops short of bone dry.
Hey. I love this country.
What do you want, Krycek?
Same thing you do.
To find the man who tried to kill me.
The same man that's responsible for your father's death.
Your sister's.
You want this man brought to justice?
You...
you can't bring these men to justice.
They're protected.
The laws of this country
protect these men
under the name of national security.
They know no law.
Then why don't you put a bullet
in his head like you did that man out there?
These men, they fear one thing:
exposure.
You expose... him...
expose his crimes...
you destroy the destroyer's
ability to destroy.
The only thing that will destroy this man is the truth.
The truth, the truth...
There's... there's no truth.
These men, they just-- they make it up as they go along.
They're the engineers of the future.
They...
they're the real revolutionaries.
I can get them for you, too.
We can't help you, Krycek.
Mulder.
This is just one bomb I'm sitting on here.
You didn't ask me how many more I know about.
Your attention, please.
Due to adverse weather conditions,
Trans Con Flight 78 from Buenos Aires has been delayed.
Please check the on-screen monitors
located throughout the terminal for a new arrival time.
What flight is he on?
There's an international charter that originated in Russia.
Turkish airliner.
There it is-- Air Lacayo.
Got in at 6:45.
That's 15 minutes ago.
Come on, let's go.
He still has to go through customs.
No. He'll be carrying a diplomatic pouch.
That's him.
Sir? Federal agent.
Don't be alarmed.
I just need to speak with you.
Stop! Stop right there!
Sir!
Mulder!
Mulder, look.
Is this some kind of joke?
What?
Show him.
What is it?
Expose it for him, Scully.
What did you get for Halloween, Charlie Brown?
Who is it?
I need to speak with you, sir.
What do you want, Agent Mulder?
I need your authorization to provide a safe house.
A safe house for whom?
This man has information about extreme right militia
that could save the lives of innocent Americans.
He'll be safe here.
Relatively safe.
We're not even yet, boy.
That's a start.
Give me the keys.
Come on.
You can't!
You can't leave me out here!
I'm going to freeze to death!
Just think warm thoughts.
I know I asked you earlier,
but you have absolutely no idea where this came from?
Not its origin, no.
But you have an idea, don't you?
This rock contains what are called
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
fitting the approximate description of those
in fragments of meteorite found recently
in the ice fields of Antarctica.
Are you saying...?
That what you're looking at is quite possibly from Mars.
Over four billion years old.
Is it valuable?
Well, beyond adding evidence to the debate
over fossilized remains of alien bacteria,
it's relatively worthless.
Does this rock contain
those fossilized remains, Dr. Sacks?
Well, I won't know that
until I'm able to take a core sample,
which I very much hope you'll allow me to do.
I think we'd all like to know what's in that rock.
Thanks.
I didn't realize you lived
in this neighborhood, Mr. Skinner.
I just moved in.
I'd guess you live
in an upper floor for the view?
What do you want from me?
Agents Mulder and Scully intercepted a diplomatic pouch
here in Washington last night.
I'm afraid it's created a problem
in foreign policy circles.
Quite a problem, actually.
I don't know anything about any diplomatic pouch.
No?
Nothing about the matter?
No, I don't.
Well, I find that hard to believe,
as their supervisory agent.
As a friend, I should advise you, Mr. Skinner,
that withholding information on matters of national security
is punishable under this country's laws
of treason and sedition.
Thank you.
I'll consider myself advised... as a friend.
I need that pouch, Mr. Skinner.
And I need to know who gave them
the order to intercept it.
I'll get back to you.
Wars have broken out over far less, Mr. Skinner.
Far, far less.
Uh-huh. Thank you.
Got something?
A big dead-end at the State Department,
but U.S. Customs officials detained another courier
on a similar visa in Honolulu two nights ago.
He was coming from Russian Georgia
carrying some kind of toxic soil sample.
- Toxic? - Yes, which leads me
to believe that what's in this rock we intercepted
are answers beyond the existence of extraterrestrial life,
even beyond the conspiracy to cover up that existence.
Mulder, that rock contains fossils
of what is believed to be alien bacteria,
and even that is under intense debate.
Why all this effort to get it onto U.S. soil?
I think that what Alex Krycek has given us
is a pivotal piece to an even larger plot.
What he's given us, Mulder, is a rock.
Alex Krycek is a liar and a murderer.
Who wants to expose the same men that we do,
and will go to any lengths to succeed.
What I'm worried about is you, Mulder.
How far you'll go, and how far I can follow you.
- Yeah? - Agent Mulder, where are you?
I'm with Scully, we're on our way out to NASA Goddard.
Well, I suggest you turn around and head home.
I don't know how I'm going to explain myself to the police.
Explain yourself about what?
The police are at my place with a dead body.
They want to talk to everyone in the building.
Pull over here.
What are you doing?
I'm going to take a cab.
I want you to find out about that rock.
Call me as soon as you do.
No, I wasn't home.
And you live on what floor?
17th. Walter Skinner.
I'm an assistant director with the FBI.
Oh. Oh, my apologies.
I got some bad information from my lieutenant
that there's a man hanging from your balcony.
We're going to walk out of here
like nothing happened.
If anybody speaks to us, you say nothing.
I got no problem.
You put me up here, man.
I'm looking forward to seeing how you get me out.
Stupid-ass haircut!
I got news for you, Mulder.
When they find out who's dead on the ground down there,
there's going to be no question
whose apartment he was pulled out of.
Who is he?
The same guy with the pouch.
Let's go.
I say follow the pouch.
Yeah?
Mulder, it's me. Listen to me.
Whatever's in that rock, it appears to be lethal.
What is it?
Dr. Sacks, he's...
I don't know, Mulder.
I've never seen this before.
I don't know if he's dead or alive.
I think you better find out.
I want you to get me an address in New York.
You're going to have to go through the Bureau to get that.
Who is it?
Fox Mulder.
- What are you doing here? - I need your help.
How do you know where I live?
FBI database.
I'm sorry. It's a matter of extreme urgency.
A diplomatic pouch left Russia and arrived here in the U.S.
Two men are dead. I need to know why.
You have its destination?
And its routing entries?
Thank you.
Agent Mulder?
The diplomatic pouch traveled an apex route
to the Russian province of Krasnoyarsk.
Krasnoyarsk?
Port of entry was the city of Norilsk.
That's just north of Tunguska.
Tunguska?
Yeah.
What are you looking for?
My cell phone.
I'm going to book myself on a flight to Krasnoyarsk, Russia.
I can help you, Agent Mulder.
Find my cell phone?
No.
With cover credentials, a diplomatic passport, a visa.
Why?
Why are you helping me?
Because I can.
Because there are those of us who believe in you...
believe in your search for the truth.
How long will it take?
How long do you have?
Where have you been?
Making travel arrangements.
To go where?
Follow the pouch.
You're going to keep me in the dark.
Yeah.
These are level four suits.
Exactly what he's wearing.
Contamination is impossible,
unless there's a tear or a loss of pressurization.
So whatever happened to him,
it's unlikely it penetrated the suit.
What do you think happened?
We won't know until we get in there
and take a closer look.
Look, there's a film over everything.
Looks like spray kicked off the saw blade
when he was cutting into the rock.
Oh, my God!
This man's alive.
He can't be.
I mean, he's not breathing.
No, I think he is.
I think he's in some kind of a coma state
or some kind of somatic rigor.
- Due to what? - I don't know. I don't know.
But we have to get him out of here.
Mulder, you're not...
I'm leaving the window rolled down.
If I'm not back in a week,
I'll call Agent Scully to come bring you a bowl of water.
Mulder!
Mulder, you're not going to leave me here!
I got information, Mulder, about a second bomb!
Time, date and place!
What'd you say to me?
What?!
You called me a bad name.
You speak Russian, Krycek?
My parents were Cold War émigrés.
What's it to you?
You've been putting on the miles.
It would help if you had a phone.
I come out here because there are no phones.
What is it?
Our courier is dead.
Yes, I heard-- pushed out a window.
Can this expose us?
No, of course not.
Our necessary and plausible denial is intact.
Then what is your concern?
Last night, CIA airport intel
had a man using U.N. credentials appear on their computers,
booked on a flight for Krasnoyarsk, Russia.
Who was it?
We haven't been able to determine that
with any certainty as yet, but it appears to be a man
fitting the description of...
Fox Mulder.
You fool. You stupid fool.
This must be corrected.
This must be handled.
Well, of course it can be.
You know my capabilities in a crisis.
I don't think you realize what's at stake here.
What level this must be carried to.
This will take more than just a good aim.
Senator Sorenson wants to see us?
That's usually what a letter of summons means, Agent Scully.
Yes, but a summons for what?
I can only guess,
but the fact I'm named in the invitation
with you and Agent Mulder leads me to believe
that I've been implicated in something
far more serious than I already know.
How much more serious, Scully?
It's hard to say.
More serious than harboring a known felon?
What about Agent Mulder?
What does he know?
Agent Mulder is endeavoring to get his own answers, sir.
Where?
He says it's about five kilometers through those woods.
Let's go.
You're really going to keep me in the dark, aren't you?
What are we doing here, Mulder?
June 30, 1908.
Tungus tribesmen and Russian fur traders
look up into the southeastern Siberian sky
and see a fireball streaking to Earth.
When it hit the atmosphere,
it created a series of cataclysmic
explosions that are considered to be
the largest single cosmic event in the history of civilization--
2,000 times the force of the bomb
that was dropped on Hiroshima.
What was it?
It's been speculated
that it was a piece of a comet
or an asteroid, or even a piece of antimatter.
The power of the blast leveled trees in a radial pattern
for 2,000 kilometers,
but no real definitive evidence has ever been found
to provide a satisfying explanation for what it was.
I think somebody found that evidence,
and the explanation is
something that nobody ever dreamed of.
What are they doing?
Looks like some kind of mining camp.
Oh.
I don't think they're miners.
Run!
I don't speak Russian.
Then no one has told you.
Told me what?
That you were brought here to die.
To wish you were dead.
I wasn't brought here.
I came here.
I was looking for something.
The only thing you will find here
is death and suffering.
What is this place?
This place...
A gulag.
A place where the guilty rule the innocent.
We got to get out of here.
They're going to torture us.
How do you know?
They were questioning me.
Trying to get me to confess.
To what?
To being a spy.
What did you tell them?
That we were stupid Americans, lost in the woods.
Mulder, you're going to need me in here.
Don't touch me again.
Ah, Agent Scully, Mr. Skinner.
Thank you for coming.
Well, it's difficult to decline an invitation
from a member of Congress, Senator.
Please, have a seat.
Are you familiar with the penalties
for obstruction of justice?
Is that a rhetorical question, sir?
You know why you've been called here today?
We have an idea, Senator.
We've been looking into the death
of this man outside your apartment, Mr. Skinner,
and it's raised some troubling questions.
Such as?
Such as what this man was doing
on your balcony before he fell to his death.
It was your balcony, wasn't it,
Mr. Skinner?
Perjury is a very serious offense,
particularly for an FBI agent.
We intend to file a complete report on this matter,
sir, once we fully understand
what it is that we're investigating.
And...
Agent Mulder.
Can you explain to me
why he declined my invitation to be here today?
Agent Mulder is in the field, sir,
seeking answers to the questions you are asking.
And where is he seeking these answers?
Agent Scully?
What were you saying?
That I want to see his supervisor.
Do svidaniya.
That man
is not your friend.
He speaks differently to the guards.
Formal language, as if to an equal.
You are deceived.
Who are you?
A prisoner like you.
But I have committed no crime.
Why are you here?
To do the work, like the others.
Like them,
I will die in an experiment
when there is no longer any use for me.
What kind of experiment?
No!
What are...?!
No!
I made this!
