The Bible says God appeared to Moses in the burning bush.

He came to Jesus on a mountaintop.

For Buddha. God came while he sat under a tree.

God came to me in a vision in the desert. February 26, 1991.

God!

My recon squad had engaged S*ddam's army in a small Bedouin encampment.

We'd been ambushed, taken on by surprise. And there were casualties.

I can't feel my legs! You're gonna be OK.

Damn it, get on the radio! We need some help here!

Zulu six-two, we are under att*ck. Repeat: we are under att*ck.

We are taking heavy machine-g*n fire.

We were holding our perimeter, and we might have held up, but on this day I had a terrible sense of foreboding.

I saw the future of those brave men, and they were about to die.

Death came to take my men, but not me.

I was left as a witness to a vision.

Angels... from heaven.

"Behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, and a brightness was about it."

"And out of the midst came the likeness of four living creatures."

"And they had the likeness of a man."

I knew why my life had been spared.

I was to deliver the message of these angels, of these sons of God.

To deliver the message of the god who came before all other gods.

At seven o'clock this evening, in a Washington, DC alley, the vehicle carrying the son of Agent Dana Scully was forced to a stop by a female sh**t, who proceeded to kidnap the child at gunpoint.

The van was being driven by three men, asked by Agent Scully to protect the child.

The three men are currently working to ID the assailant.

John Doggett was seriously injured by the same female sh**t as he tried to halt her vehicle.

Agent Doggett remains in a coma, under close watch at St Mary's Hospital.

This kidnapping follows a failed att*ck on Scully's child by another FBI agent, Robert Comer.

He remains in critical condition, also at St Mary's.

Now, this man's motives, and the motives of the female kidnapper, are still unknown.

Let me emphasize that the FBI has no reason to believe that it cannot effect the safe return of Agent Scully's child.

Agent Scully.

I told you you didn't need to be here. I just had to see this for myself.

Go home. To what?

I'm just saying, you don't need to put yourself through this.

We've got every stop pulled, every available agent working to find your son.

And AD Brad Follmer leading the charge.

Kersh asked him. He knows how to run a task force. You see that in there.

I see a man who withholds information for Kersh, a man who not once but twice failed to prevent an att*ck on my son.

You see a task force in there. I see a whitewash.

I know you're upset, but you can't possibly accuse Follmer or Kersh of having any part in this.

What is it gonna take for you?

How many people have to be taken out for you to open your eyes to it?

My son. Agent Doggett.

Mulder.

Kersh protected you by not telling you of Mulder's death, as did Follmer - as did I.

You call it protection.

I call it a systematic effort inside the FBI to eliminate us.

You accuse anyone of anything in the FBI, you have to accuse me along with them.

Scully, where are you going? To find my son.

His hands are so cold.

Have you talked to the doctors yet?

They say the good news is that there's no swelling of the brain.

But they were very frank that he could just never wake up.

I wonder if he can hear us.

There'd be soldiers in Vietnam... bodies turned inside out.

I'd hold their hands just like you're doing.

Tell them it was gonna be OK.

Do you think it helped?

Talking to them?

I always thought it was like... like praying.

Even if they can't hear, maybe... God can.

Hello? How's he doing?

No change.

I need to see you right away, Monica. Are you alone right now?

Skinner's here with me.

I'd prefer if Skinner didn't know.

We found her. Who?

The woman that took William.

She's a wanted felon, and part of the UFO cult that the FBI was investigating.

I need anything that you can find on her, Monica, but I need you to get it quietly.

Access denied?! Yeah, we'll see about that.

If they ID'd the woman, why isn't the FBI investigating it?

I asked them not to tell the FBI.

What are you doing, Dana? I'm trying to get my son back.

We're locked on.

Like there was ever a doubt.

Which brings us closer to finding William. Langly's inside the system.

I'm hacked inside the phone company. I'll use their mainframe to scan for a locator signal.

Before William was kidnapped, Byers tucked a cellphone under the baby's car seat.

Call the phone, and Langly can use the signal to find its location and find the baby.

Assuming the kidnapper hasn't found the phone.

We'll keep trying.

This is madness, and you know it. They failed you once, they're gonna fail you again.

Then I'll find him myself. Not alone.

Look, what alternative do I have, when the FBI is all but telling me they think that my son is already dead?

We've got a signal. In Warfordsburg, Pennsylvania, off the interstate.

You coming with me? Or am I going alone?

Have you got him? Yes. He's safe. We're here.

We need to go carefully now. I want you to stay where you are.

I'm sending someone to get you, all right? Yes.

It's moving!

Can you hear me?

I need some tools. Go get some tools!

Come on, move it!

Federal agent!

John Doggett, where is he? He's not in his bed,

They've taken him to Radiology to run a CAT scan.

Would you like me to call his doctor? No, I was just worried. I'm sorry.

What? Nothing.

I've known you a long time, and this just seems a little traditional for you.

Maybe when you're lost you knock at the door with the porch light on.

Hey. Hey.

I want you to know, I'm doing all I can to find the woman who did this, Even though we've got people inside the FBI working against us.

That was foolish, going after her by yourselves.

We could have been there before you, even captured the suspect. Instead she got away.

This is complicated. If you came to bust... No. No.

I came here to ask for your cooperation.

Not sharing information creates an atmosphere of distrust.

Then I'm less apt to share my information with you.

What haven't you shared with me?

This FBI agent who tried to k*ll Scully's baby has come around.

He's got something he wants to tell us.

What?

I need your cooperation.

You said he tried to tell you something. How was that possible?

He didn't tell me, exactly. He wrote it down.

I don't know what this means.

I don't know either. But it means something, and I want to know what.

Just tell me where you got this. You know what it means?

Robert Comer wrote this, didn't he?

The FBI agent who tried to k*ll my son. And how did you get it?

I got it under the condition that I share what I learn from you.

Take it. What is it? What does it mean?

If I don't tell you, you're good on your word, right?

That means that you've learnt absolutely nothing from me.

Where are you going? To the hospital.

It doesn't work that way.

This began when the agent lying in that hospital crashed his motorcycle.

Somehow he got to Washington without a scratch and he tried to k*ll my son.

Now, tell me, how did he do that, Monica?

With something I found in his jacket pocket, in a jacket that he wore to my house, that I put three sh*ts in.

The artefact. The piece of the ship.

Let go. Oh, my God.

Let go of my hand.

Turn off the monitors or they're gonna alert somebody.

Now, tell me, who sent you to k*ll my son?

Or I will take that pillow from under your head and make them the last breaths that you take.

Your son has to die.

Not what you think. Please.

Please.

The FBI sent me undercover on a man named Josepho, to get inside his cult, whose followers believe an alien race will rule the world.

One day, God told Josepho to lead us 1,000 miles north to find a ship buried in the ground.

You have a piece of that ship in your hand.

Josepho believes that that ship is a temple housing the physical manifestation of God.

Are you saying that God asked you to k*ll my child?

No.

Josepho said God spoke to him of a miracle child, a future saviour, coveted by forces of good and evil.

Josepho believes your son is this child. Why does he want to k*ll him?

He doesn't. He wants to protect him.

Josepho believes your son will follow in his fathers paths and try to stop the aliens' return... unless his father was to be k*lled.

That is the prophecy.

You came here to k*ll her son, against this man and his cult? To stop them?

Are you saying you believe this prophecy but acted alone?

What he's saying... is that Mulder is dead.

That that's true.

That they k*lled him to fulfill this prophecy.

And that your son must die too.

Or everyone, all of mankind, will perish from Earth.

Please. Please, let me...

Please. Please!

What is going on here?

What are you doing in here?

They turned off all the monitors. They removed his intubation.

What are you doing in here?

This patient does not need support. He's breathing on his own.

Step outside. Both of you.

Let's go.

Get me ADs Follmer and Skinner.

It's not working.

You weren't followed? No.

He's safe now. He's safe with us.

Where's Scully and Reyes?

They were told to wait out here.

Assistant Director? We need Scully and Reyes, now.

What are we gonna tell them? Who?

The FBI. About Agent Comer. About what just happened. About how he was healed.

Just tell them the truth.

They're not on our side. They will use the truth against us.

You don't believe what you heard in there? What that man was telling you?

How could you doubt him?

After everything that you've just witnessed, after what you saw with my son?

I mean, this is exactly what I feared, that there's something terribly wrong.

From the very moment that he was conceived.

Your child was a miracle, Dana.

The things I've witnessed are no less miraculous, but your son is not an abomination, a thing that should cease to exist.

You tell me on that ship is written scripture from the world's great religions.

Tell me a religion that decrees the death of a child.

Not just your child, but any child.

This is a man saying these things to us.

How many religions warn of false prophets, men sent to deceive us?


The only thing that I believe is that your son may still be alive, and we can find him and save him.

And with that object in that room, we can save Agent Doggett too.

You two better get outta here.

Agent Comer's dead. What?!

This man was alive.

You saw him. He was alive.

Somebody was in here. Where did it go? Where did what go?

This man had something in his hand, a piece of metal.

It's why he could be taken off life-support.

A piece of metal? I don't know what she's talking about.

Who else came into this room? Why are you questioning me?

Did you leave the room? Agent Reyes.

This woman came in here and this man was alive.

He was more than alive. He'd been healed, he'd been brought back to life.

This man was m*rder*d, but it wasn't by us. Agent Reyes.

Who else was in here?

You were in here. I came in and found you.

Were you alone in here?

Was he alone in here? She went to get the doctors.

Search this man. For what?

Monica!

Scully saw it. Ask Agent Scully.

Agent Scully?

Where's Scully?

Agent Scully!

I never meant for this, all that's been lost.

I never meant to put you at risk, to risk losing you too.

She's fighting for you.

Monica's out there trying to find a way.

And she's not going to let you go.

Agent Scully.

Agent Doggett.

Oh!

I heard someone talking. That was me. That was me talking to you.

No, it wasn't you.

They're gonna come to you, but you can't trust them. Do you understand that?

Scully.

Oh, my God.

Scully.

Listen carefully, Agent Scully. You want to see your son?

You come alone. You follow my instructions to the letter.

Sorry to keep you waiting, but I had to make sure you were alone.

I only wish to protect the boy from those who'd harm him.

He's a very special boy.

I came here to take him back.

"Behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, and a brightness was about it."

"And out of the midst came the likeness of four living creatures."

"And they had the likeness of a man."

That's the Bible. Did you know it?

Ephesians.

The Bible, describing giants who walked the Earth.

Who'd believe it? Only the faithful.

And we who have seen them, these... super-soldiers, the true sons of God.

I want to see my son.

You struggle to believe.

It's so incredible, but your son will lead this alien race.

He was put here to lead.

I'll bring you to him, to see your son, after you do something for me.

After you bring something I need.

Confirmation that Mulder's dead.

You k*lled Mulder.

No.

I believed he was dead, but now I have reason to doubt that.

And if he's alive, he's the one thing preventing your son's true destiny.

You told me I could see my son.

You lied.

If you want to see the boy, you'll bring me the head of Fox Mulder.

Get ready, Monica.

Hold on.

His car's wired. Here we go.

They say he's a mile ahead, turning off the highway.

What about these hills? Are we gonna lose him in these hills?

Yeah. Yeah. How are we in terrain?

That transponder'll track him driving underwater to Brazil.

Langly.

What just happened?

We're coming to a turn. Is this it?

Uh,.. Yeah.

Turn.

I think they lost the signal. They have to get it back.

Piece of crap!

Hey! Louder, why don't ya? Tell them we're working on it.

Here. You be the messenger.

What is it? What's happening?

The baby started crying... and it just came to life.

Hey, guys. We lost him. And we just ran out of road out here.

William?

William!

William!

No.

Oh, my God.

Dana.

William?

I came to give you a ride home. They told me you were in here.

Yeah.

I came in here and prayed for you.

Yeah, I know.

This voice in my head, it was... it was talking to me.

Telling me to get up, telling me to warn Scully about this man.

I mean... was it you talking to me?

I only prayed for your life.

Deputy Director?

Mr Follmer.

Sir, it's, um... it's about that report you have there.

The investigation of Special Agent Robert Comer's death.

Yes?

As you know, AD Skinner refused to sign it, believing that Agent Comer was m*rder*d.

But you did sign it. Isn't that right, Mr Follmer?

Finding nothing to support that allegation.

That's just it, sir.

I did find something.

The monitors in Agent Comer's room, they recorded his condition, moment by moment, showing that his vital signs did improve just before his equipment was unplugged.

They did, in fact, return back to normal.

And you have an explanation for that, yes?

No, sir, I don't.

And you want what?

I just want to take my name off it.

Maybe if you weren't so busy back-pedaling, Mr Follmer, you might get me an explanation.

Excuse me.

I'm sure you heard all of that.

Congratulations. It would appear now that everything is dead but this case.

I'm sure I can take care of that, Deputy Director.

Quite sure.

I made this!
