Beyond the Sea

MAGGIE SCULLY: Dana?
SCULLY: Mom? What’s the matter?
MAGGIE SCULLY: We, um... we lost your dad. He had a... a massive coronary... about an hour ago. He... he’s gone.

SCULLY: Last time you were that engrossed, it turned out you were reading the Adult Video News.
MULDER: I didn’t think you’d be in today. How are you, Dana?
SCULLY: Dana? I’m fine, thank you.

SCULLY: Mulder, do I detect a hint of skepticism?
MULDER: Perhaps...

MULDER: At the age of six, Luther Boogs slaughtered every pet animal in his housing project. When he was thirty, he strangled five family members, over Thanksgiving dinner, and then sat down to watch the fourth quarter of the Detroit - Green Bay game. Some killers are projects of society. Some act out, on past abuses...Boggs kills because he likes it.
SCULLY: And they've requested you speak to him?
MULDER: Actually, he's requested to speak to me...
SCULLY: Why you?
MULDER: He read my profile on him and he believes I'm the only one who truly understands what he is... Anyway, I leave for Raleigh this afternoon.
SCULLY: I'll go with you. The funeral's at noon...
MULDER: I think you should take some time...
SCULLY: I need to work.
MULDER: I'm sorry about your father.

BOGGS: Mr. Boggs must be made redemptive for his transgressions...
MULDER: That's exactly what the state of North Carolina intends to do, next week.
BOGGS: No. Uh-uh. Let's deal. Bogg's life for the kids, you know what I'm saying?
MULDER: First you've got to prove you're telling the truth. Don't get me wrong Luther, I want to believe.

MULDER: I tore this off my New York Knicks T-shirt. It has nothing to do with the crime...

MULDER: I just heard that Liz Hawley's family made a positive ID, on the charm that you found at the warehouse. The police are searching that place inch by inch, but they haven't been able to find anything yet... I expected to find you at the crime scene.
SCULLY: Did Boggs confess?
MULDER: No, no. Just 5 hours of Boggs' channeling... After 3 hours, I asked him to summon up the soul of Jimi Hendrix and requested "All along the Watchtower." You know, the guy's been dead for 20 years and he still hasn't lost his edge...

SCULLY: I lied to the police, about how I found the warehouse. I didn't notice any suspicious activities...
MULDER: Then how did you find it?
SCULLY: It was where Boggs said it would be.
MULDER: Scully, I told you about Boggs!
SCULLY: I didn't go looking for it. I came across an area that had landmarks he spoke of...
MULDER: That doesn't matter! That's exactly what Boggs wanted! He could be seting you up, you could be dead right now! Why did you lie in your police report?
SCULLY: I thought it would be a better explanation under the circumstances...
MULDER: What you're really saying is that you didn't go on record admitting that you believed Boggs! The bureau would expect something like that from "Spooky" Mulder, but not Dana Scully...
SCULLY: I thought that you'd be pleased that I opened myself to extreme possibilities.
MULDER: Why now? After all we've seen, why Boggs? Dana... open yourself to extreme possibilities only when they're the truth. That goes for Luther Boggs and your father. As for Boggs he's the greatest of lies.

BOGGS: Mulder... Don't go near the white cross. We see you down...and your blood spills the white cross.

SCULLY: You set us up! You're in on this with Lucas Henry! This was a trap for Mulder, because he helped put you away. Well, I came here to tell you that if he dies, because of what you've done... four days from now, no one will be able to stop me from being the one that'll throw the switch and gas you out of this life for good! You son of a bitch!
BOGGS: I know what you want. And I know who you want to talk to... Why won't you just go ahead and ask me?
SCULLY: I'll believe you...if you let...me... talk to him!

Scully: There's still no sign of Lucas Henry or Jim Summers. The Raleigh police said...
MULDER: No matter what, don't belive him. Boggs created this whole charade to get back at me for putting him on death row...You'd be the next best thing.
SCULLY: Mulder I never thought I'd say this, but what if there's another explanation?
MULDER: Don't deal with him... He could be trying to claim you as his last victim.

BOGGS: Scully... Avoid the devil. Don't folow Henry to the devil. Leave that to me.

BOGGS: You come to say goodbye?
SCULLY: I believe... that if you had orchestrated this kidnapping, Lucas Henry would have... been aware of the danger you warned me about. He never would have crossed that bridge. So you saved ... Jim Summer’s life. But you saved mine as well.
BOGGS: You come for some unfinished business? You want your father’s message? Not now. Be there tonight. Be my witness. And when they got me in that chair and they... open up that shield ... you get your message.

SCULLY: I was considering Boggs... If he knew that I was your partner, he could have found out everything he knew about me... About my father...
MULDER: Scully...
SCULLY: "Beyond the Sea" was playing on my parents' wedding. Visions of deceased, loved ones are a common psychological phenomenon. If he knew that my father had...
MULDER: Dana... After all you've seen, after all the evidence, why can't you believe?
SCULLY: I'm afraid, I'm afraid to believe...
MULDER: You couldn't face that fear? Even if it meant never knowing what your father wanted to tell you?
SCULLY: But I do know.
MULDER: How?
SCULLY: He was my father...
