SCULLY: Mulder, you've been through this tape a hundred times. What exactly are you hoping to find?
MULDER: I don't know.
SCULLY: All he told you to was to watch Channel 8?
MULDER: Yeah, that's all he said.
SCULLY: Do we even know why the suspect was being chased?
MULDER: As far as I can tell, he wouldn't pull over for a moving violation.
SCULLY: Well, that oughta put him in the Ten-Most-Wanted list.
MULDER:There's got to be something here. Some detail. Something we're not seeing.
SCULLY: How do you know he's not yanking your chain, this Deep Throat character?
MULDER: Why would he do that?
SCULLY: Well, he's lied to you by his own admission...
OFFICER: Well, I don't know if you were aware, but there were three different law enforcement agencies out here, last night. I know it's not "Silence of the Lambs", but it's what we do.
MULDER: They switched cars on us Scully, and they lied about it.
SCULLY: Why would they do that?
MULDER: Maybe the... um... real owner has got something to hide.
MULDER: Did he bite you?
SCULLY: No, but he tried to.
MULDER: Well, it's almost 5:00. We should check with the doctor's housekeeper about the car while we're out here.
SCULLY: No.
MULDER: No? What do you mean, no?
SCULLY: I mean, this has reached the point of absurdity Mulder. We're out here, on half a hunch off of a cryptic phone call, chasing down a... a clue that's based on nothing but speculation.
MULDER: Well, that's all we've got!
SCULLY: That's all he's given us! Who is this Deep Throat character? I mean, we don't know anything about him. What his name is, what he does--
MULDER: He's in a delicate position. He has access to information and indiscretion could expose him.
SCULLY: You don't know that this isn't just a game with him. He's toying with you. Rationing out the facts.
MULDER: You think he does it because he gets off on it?
SCULLY: No, I think he does it because you do!
DEEP THROAT: Calling it a night, Mr. Mulder?
MULDER: My mother usually wants me home before the street lights come on.
MULDER: You know, from day one, this has always been on your terms. I've gone along. Been the dutiful son. But maybe this time we can just cut the "Obi-Wan Kenobi" crap and you can save me the trouble.
DEEP THROAT: I fear you've become to dependent on me.
MULDER: Let me tell you something. I've got plenty to do, without chasing down your vague leads or trying to decode your circular logic. Maybe it's you who's become too dependent on me... on my willingness to play your games.
MULDER: Suicide?
SCULLY: Yeah, they think for whatever reason, he trashed his lad and then killed himself.
MULDER: How?
SCULLY: Well, it says he tied one end of a roll of medical gauze around his neck and the other end on this gas outlet. Then he jumped.
MULDER: I don't suppose there were any witnesses?
SCULLY: Nope.
MULDER: The man we met yesterday, kept his place like he was waiting for the people from Good Housekeeping to show up. I would never have pegged him as someone to do all this... or a Greg Louganis out of the window.
SCULLY: He was working on the Human Genome Project. Are you familiar with that?
MULDER: Yeah...The mapping of all human genes. Maybe the most ambitious scientific endeavor in the history of mankind.
SCULLY: Right, but there's nothing extraordinary about that. I mean, there are thousands of scientists on that project.
MULDER: Yeah, but only one who owned a silver Cierra and went bungie-jumping, with a medical gauze around his neck.
SCULLY: I'm sorry Mulder. I'm seeing the pieces, but I'm not seeing the connection.
MULDER: Well, maybe that's just it. Maybe we're not seeing it because it can't be seen. Not in any obvious way. What do you think this is?
SCULLY: I don't know.
MULDER: Can you find out for me?
SCULLY:What are you going to do?
MULDER: I'll see what else I can find about Dr. Terrance Alan Berube.
SCULLY: Ok, Mulder, but I'm warning you... if this is monkey pee, you're on your own.
SCULLY: I've got something for you.
MULDER: Is it smaller than a silver Cierra?
SCULLY: Much, and it's not silver...it's green.
MULDER: What is it?
SCULLY: Some kind of bacteria, each containing a virus, and it looks like as if Berube may have been cloning them. They also contain something that it looks like chloroplasts. Plant cells. But they've never seen anything like it here.
MULDER: Any idea what he could have been doing with them?
SCULLY: Well, the only reason why you clone a virus inside a bacteria is in order to inject it into something living. It's called gene therapy, and it's still highly experimental.
MULDER: Well, maybe that's what he was doing with those monkeys.
SCULLY: What exactly did you find?
DR. CARPENTER: A fifth and sixth DNA nucleotide. A new base pair. Agent Scully, what are you looking at... it exists nowhere in nature. It would have to be, by definition... extraterrestrial.
SCULLY: Wait a second... Mulder? I...I just want to say that I was wrong.
MULDER: It's all right, don't worry about it.
SCULLY: No, umm... if you had listened to me, we wouldn't be here right now. I should know by now to trust your instincts.
MULDER: Why? Nobody else does.
SCULLY: You know, I've always held science sacred. I've, I've always put my trust in the accepted facts. And from what I saw last night... for the first time in my life I don't know what to believe!
MULDER: Well, whatever it is, you do believe Scully. When you walk into that room, nothing sacred will hold.
SCULLY: I'm going back to Georgetown to get all the lab work.
MULDER: I'm going to find Dr. Secare.
SCULLY: Where?
MULDER: I don't know. I'm going to trust my instincts.
SCULLY: You're late.
DEEP THROAT: Do you have it?
SCULLY: Yes.
DEEP THROAT: Good. They're willing to make the exchange.
SCULLY: You spoke to them?
DEEP THROAT: Yes. I'll take the parcel.
SCULLY: No, sir. I'll make the exchange.
DEEP THROAT: I made the deal, Scully, they're expecting me.
SCULLY:I don't trust you.
DEEP THROAT:You've got no one else to trust.
SCULLY: I don't know who you are! I know nothing about you!
DEEP THROAT: Oh, for Gods sake, don't screw this up! Let me tell you something, you should know. In 1987, a group of children from a southern state were given what their parents thought was routine inoculation. What they were injected with was a clone DNA, from the contents of that package you're holding, as a test. That's the kind of people you're dealing with.
SCULLY: So why give it back to them?
DEEP THROAT: To save Mulder's life.
SCULLY: At the risk of so many other lives?
DEEP THROAT: It's the tip of the iceberg. You and Mulder are the only ones who can bring it to light.
DEEP THROAT: (as he dies, to SCULLY) Trust... Trust no one...
SCULLY: Hello?
MULDER: Hey Scully, it's me...
SCULLY: Where are you?
MULDER: They're shutting us down, Scully.
SCULLY: What?
MULDER: They called me in tonight... and they're going to reassign us to other sections.
SCULLY: Who said that?
MULDER: Skinner. He said word came down from the top of the executive branch.
SCULLY: Mulder...
MULDER: It's over, Scully.
SCULLY: Well, you have to lodge a protest. They can't.
MULDER: Yes, they can.
SCULLY: What are you going to do?
MULDER: I'm not gonna give up. I can't give up. Not as long as the truth is out there
