Dr Langenhahn‘ here's the body.

They weren't kidding!

They did the best they could, considering he was all mashed in with that garbage.

How mashed up is he? Basically, it's hamburger.

Oh...

And they want me to do what, exactly? Establish and confirm real fact of death.

I'd say he's dead. How about you? Yes, sir.

Good. I'm going home. Fax me the paperwork by 9.00, I'll sign it, everybody's happy.

Crying out loud. See this?

They left some garbage in with it.

Looks kinda like a vertebra, only metallic.

Note it on the report. Then fax me.

Oh. God.

I was hoping this was all a dream.

When did the sun come up?

About six hours ago.

Somewhere back in North Carolina. Where are we?

We just crossed into Georgia.

A long way from home, Agent Scully.

Under the circumstances...

Right.

We can't be too safe.

Are you all right, Agent Reyes?

I should ask how you're doing.

You're the one who's gonna have this baby.

That's it, isn't it? What you're really worried about?

Aside from whatever danger we're in, where we're going doesn't sound like there's all that much in the way of a facility.

You know what I mean?

I've never delivered a baby.

I've never had one. That makes us both beginners.

This is a videograph from the DC morgue.

It's Billy Miles. How can that be?

It can't be. It's impossible.

It can't be, but it is, walking out of the morgue looking like a new man.

His body was taken to the morgue in a box!

Like I told you, you can't stop him.

You keep saying that, Krycek.

You explain it to us, because I'm having a hard time understanding it.

Billy Miles was scraped out of a garbage truck. I saw him go in. I saw him come out.

I don't know if I can explain it in any technical sense, but that's Billy Miles, without a doubt.

Krycek, you can explain it.

I told you he's a human replacement.

Some new kind of alien, created to aid in the re-population of the planet.

Which Scully's a thr*at to. If she has that baby.

I don't care who he is or what he's made of. There's no way he's gonna find her.

Maybe he's not, but there are others out there just like him.

And it's only a matter of time before they will.

Agent Doggett, see you a moment?

There's someone here to see you.

Name's Knowle Rohrer. He says you know each other, and what he's here for can't wait.

End of the road. Yeah, literally.

If anybody finds us out here, it really will be a miracle.

Where exactly are we? Democrat Hot Springs.

According to Agent Doggett, people came here for the waters, until the springs dried up.

He was born here. Really? Well, that's comforting.

I guess.

So where do you want to set up? Over here.

Any particular reason?

I told you, I feel these energies about people and stuff and places.

I found it works best to go with my instincts.

I'm getting a feeling myself.

There's no water from this rock.

We're gonna need some water and a place to boil it, along with sterile supplies and a clean place to do this delivery.

I'm a little stiff from the drive.

OK...

It's not like you, Knowle, coming to see me when you make me work so hard to see you.

This couldn't wait. It's about this thing you're pursuing.

This thing? This man you're after.

I think you know what I'm talking about.

I think I'm confused, Knowle, if it's a man or if it's a thing.

This is m*llitary. Goes all the way to the top. I can't overstate the sensitivity.

There was a rumoured programme out of the Cold w*r, a plan to create a super-soldier.

This kid was pretty damn super. Got up out of a gut bucket and hit the ground running.

You got It half right. Which half?

What you're chasing is a prototype.

Uh-huh.

And this so-called prototype, what is he after?

I think you know that too. He's after your partner Scully.

You may not be aware that she was part of a programme.

Six years ago. Agent Scully was taken in a m*llitary operation staged as an abduction.

They put a chip in her neck to monitor her.

It was also used to make her pregnant with the first organic version of that same super-soldier.

What do you want from me?

Help us catch him so we can put him down... before he finds her.

You assume I know where she is. Who does? Your superior?

Whoever knows, his life is in danger too. I want you to know.

Sit down, Krycek!

Hey, what did I tell you?

Hey!

Krycek!

Krycek, hold the door!

Hold the door. Krycek! Krycek!

Mulder...

You heard about this, right?

How is he? He's got a concussion.

They'll keep him here for observation.

Where were you when this happened? In my office.

Talking to somebody who warned me this might happen.

Who?

Skinner could have been k*lled.

He's an old friend. He tells me stuff I'm not supposed to know. I didn't wanna believe it.

What did he tell you? Billy Miles isn't what you think he is.

He's the product of a programme to build a super-soldier.

Scully's in the programme too. Her pregnancy was triggered by a chip they put in her neck.

I want to know who the hell you've been talking to!

Who this trusted source of yours is who's been spinning this fantasy.

Knowle Rohrer. He's in US intelligence. I don't know more than that.

Did he ever lie to you? Give you bad information? False leads?

You have to think about it? He said Scully's in danger.

He wants to stop this guy. Is that so different to what we're saying?

You didn't tell him where she is?

No. But I think the fact that I know will catch up with me, if AD Skinners any indication.

You don't tell anybody where she is. That's the deal. Not even me.

What if something happens to me?

This trusted source of yours told you he knows how to stop Billy Miles.

Did he happen to tell you how he plans to do this?

No. Right.

What do you say you and me go find out how trustworthy he really is?

Dana, come see what you think.

My goodness!

Look at this.

Look at you.

Wow!

I found them folded up in a cabinet upstairs, and a nice porcelain basin and candles.

Do we have matches? I've got a lighter.

Yeah.

Now all we need is some mood music, like whale song.

Whale song?

Recordings of whales talking to each other, calling back and forth.

I don't know, it's almost metaphysical.

You're looking at me like... I probably sound like a goof.

No, no, it's not that. I was thinking that you reminded me of someone that I was close to.

My sister. You're not close to her still?

She was k*lled about five years ago in my home.

It was a terrible time.

It's... It's OK.

I want to thank you.

Thank you for putting this together.

It's not what I planned, but it's very nice.

What? There's someone out there. Stay here.

Get out of the car! I'm a federal agent!

I don't care who you are. Let's start by putting that w*apon away.

Just point it down now.

I'm a federal agent. I heard you the first time.

Just let me see some identification.

Dana?

I'm sure that this looks untoward, but my life is in danger. And my baby's.

There's a man who's pursuing us, and it is very important that he not find us here.

We get hunters in here taking deer and game off-season.

I've heard every excuse in the book, but this one's far too original.

You don't plan to have it here?

It's not as crazy as it sounds. She's a doctor. She can coach me.

What if something goes wrong? If you're a doctor, you know the risks.

You're unprepared here. This man, he is extremely dangerous.

I got a first-aid kit in my truck. It's pretty basic, but better to have than not.

I'll be back with towels and the proper swaddling.

Thank you.

How is it that this friend of yours is so desperate for your help, and then, when we want to reach him, he's nowhere to be found?

Maybe he got wind. Maybe he got spooked. I'm beginning to think it makes no difference.

You told me he told you he knew how to stop Billy Miles.

Are you telling me now you think he's a liar? He is or he isn't, What difference does it make? It doesn't make any at all.

Unless you wanna protect Scully and that baby.

And then what?

How long can you keep this up?

How long until the next Billy Miles rears his head? The next thr*at? The next phantom?

Do you ever stop to ask yourself?

All the sacrifice, the blood spilled.

You've given nearly a decade of your life.

Where the hell is it all gonna end?

I don't know. Maybe it doesn't.

Stan the car. Why?

Alex Krycek just pulled in.

What's he doing here? How did he get security clearance?

Do you recognize his passenger?

Yeah.

It's Knowle Rohrer.

Thank you.

I have to say, with everything I know you must be feeling, you look amazingly beautiful. Dana.

And what about what you're feeling?

Any vibrations, Agent Reyes?

I don't know. What?

I don't know if I'm just being paranoid, but something feels off.

We need some more water.

Go back inside, Dana.

Who is it?

Dana, it's OK. He's dead.

It's not OK. What do you mean? Exactly what I said. We'll take care of this.

They said that he couldn't be stopped. Dana, he's got no vitals.

He's lost too much blood.

Is this the man you're afraid of? How did he find you out here?

I have to report this. You can't do that.

I don't have any choice. No, I mean I...

I just felt a contraction.

Something's happening.

Where's he going? Not to see you, that's for sure.

Who the hell's he going to see?

You go ahead. I got Krycek.

Agent Doggett?

What are you doing here? They let me out of hospital.

What are you doing here?

I got Mulder in the parking garage watching Krycek.

What's Krycek doing here? I'm trying to figure that out.

Yeah?

He's here with Agent Crane. How the hell does he know Agent Crane?

Damn good question. He doesn't.

Been wondering who's getting these guys past security?


Agent Crane is in on this with your friend, which means he's in on it with Krycek.

I don't understand. In on what? Fooling us.

Into chasing after Billy Miles. Into believing we could protect her.

Scully? Yes. They know where she ls.

Only I know where she is. You and Agent Reyes.

You called her from a phone inside the FBI.

Crane doesn't have access to the communications system.

Skinners here with me. Maybe this goes even higher.

I gotta get to Scully. You gotta tell me where she is.

We can nail these guys here and put an end to it.

No. Get out of there. You got no guarantee that these guys aren't alien replacements too.

Northern Georgia. Democrat Hot Springs.

Mulder!

Get out of the car.

Doesn't seem fair now. Doesn't seem right. Coming down to this.

What do you know about fair or right? You're a coward.

I could've k*lled you so many times. You gotta know that.

I'm the one that kept you alive,

praying you'd win somehow.

Then there really is no God. You think I'm bad, that I'm a k*ller.

We wanted the same thing. That's what you don't understand.

I wanted to stop them. All you wanted was to save your own ass.

No. I tried to stop them.

Tried to k*ll Scully's baby to stop them.

It's too late.

The tragedy is that you wouldn't let it go.

That's why I have to do this.

Because you know how deep it goes. Right into the FBI.

You wanna k*ll me, Alex, k*ll me.

Like you k*lled my father.

Just don't insult me trying to make me understand.

It's gonna take more b*ll*ts than you can ever fire to win this game.

One b*llet... and I can give you a thousand lives.

sh**t Mulder.

I'm going to go to the airport. I need that location from Agent Doggett.

Skinner, are you with me? Just go. I'll get it.

They're two minutes apart now. It's not going to be long.

How's this? That's great.

Right there! Both of you!

I'm prepared to use force!

Come on. Come on!

Here you go.

Thank you.

Move!

Agent Reyes?

Move out of here! What's happening?!

Who are you?

This baby will be born.

Agent Reyes!

The Blazer!

Get Mulder on the phone.

What's happening?!

It's OK, Dana. What? No!

It's going to be OK.

Get him off!

This is my baby! You gotta push, Dana.

Please don't let them take it!

Come on, Dana. Push! God!

Please, don't let this happen! Dana, push!

It's mine!

Hold on!

Harder! Push, Dana!

Keep breathing. Dana. Don't let them take it!

Push!

Push, Dana, push!

Down there. Get me down there.

Scully!

Scully!

Where is she?

Scully!

Where is she?

Scully!

Where is she? Tell me where she is! Mulder!

How is she? She's inside.

She needs to get to the hospital.

I'm to take this story seriously?

These incidents at the FBI? This account of Agent Scully's birth?

I'm to submit this as quality investigative work, as representative of actual fact?

I signed the report there, sir. Yeah, I see it, John.

And I see her signature here, too. On an X-File?

I'd like to know when you assigned yourself. Agent Doggett assigned me, sir.

Agent Doggett cannot assume the authority of this office.

I assume it because this office is under investigation for the late-night meeting between you, Agent Crane and Knowle Rohrer.

Both men were presumed dead, but are now missing.

In actual fact.

You investigate what I tell you.

And you put me on the X-Files. That's what I'm investigating.

Get some rest.

We didn't hear you come in. We brought gifts.

We wanted to... See it with your own eyes.

It's incredible, you arriving in time to save Scully, getting her to a hospital.

How did you do it? Agent Doggett said they never reached you with specific coordinates.

There was a light. I followed it.

Guess we got our next headline.

How's everybody doing?

We're doing just fine.

Hey, now.

None of that.

Hi.

What are you gonna call him? William.

After your father.

I don't know. He's got your colouring and your eyes.

And he looks suspiciously like Assistant Director Skinner.

I don't understand, Mulder.

They came to take him from us.

Why they didn't...

I don't quite understand that either.

Except that maybe he isn't what they thought he was.

That doesn't make him any less of a miracle, though, does it?

From the moment I became pregnant, I feared the truth... about how and why.

And I know you feared it, too.

I think what we feared were the possibilities.

The truth, we both know.

Which is what?

I made this!
