00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:31,077

We're not... who... we are.
2
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,116
We're not... who... we are.
3
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,790
It goes no further than this.
4
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,550
It stops right here,...
5
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,756
..right now.
6
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,670
Team Captain John Richter here.
7
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,228
It's been a couple of frustrating months.
8
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:18,519
But after a lot of stick-with-it-ness, we 're
proud to report that half an hour ago,...
9
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,593
..we broke the previous record
for drilling down into an ice sheet.
10
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,519
This team of scientists
made up the Arctic Ice Core Project.
11
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:33,355
They were sent to Alaska by the Advanced
Research Project Agency a year ago...
12
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,396
..to drill into the arctic ice.
13
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:37,917
The samples they removed...
14
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,470
..contained trapped gases, dust, chemicals.

15
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:46,395
They could reveal the structure of the
Earth's climate back to the dawn of man.
16
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,074
Their work was a success,
nearly completed.
17
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:53,153
No reports or indications
of problems of any kind.
18
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,391
Until, only a week later,
this next transmission.
19
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,912
We're not... who... we are.
20
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:16,750
We're not... who... we are.
21
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,000
It goes no further than this.
22
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,836
It stops... right here,...
23
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,075
..right now.
24
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:36,992
What happened up there?
25
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:41,232
So far nobody's been able to reach
the compound because of bad weather.
26
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,432
Obviously we must be
brilliant or expendable
27
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,590
because we've pulled the assignment.
28
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,750

It is severe isolation distress?

29
00:05:48,840 --> 00:05:54,233
These were top geophysicists, trained
and screened for this project in every way,...
30
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,709
..including psychological makeup.
31
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,153
We leave for Nome today.
32
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:02,119
We'll join three scientists
familiar with the Ice Core Project,...
33
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,431
..and then head north up to the Icy Cape.
34
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,875
The National Weather Service
gives us three days to get in and out
35
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,235
before the next storm.
36
00:06:10,840 --> 00:06:12,910
Bring your mittens.
37
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:28,953
Here's the snap. Fouts
dumps it across to Winslow! Touchdown!
38
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,918
Touchdown! Fouts... is... God!
39
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,390
Sorry. My team scored.
40
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,710
There's no football on Wednesdays.
41
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,916
Fouts retired in '87, didn't he?
42
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,310

No, this is just

my all-time favourite plays on tape.
43
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,389
- You two FBI?
- Agent Mulder, Agent Scully. And you?
44
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,153
Denny Murphy.
Professor of Geology, UC San Diego.
45
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,312
San Diego? Get much chance
to study ice down there?
46
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:57,913
Just what's around the cake.
47
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,436
Dr Da Silva? Dr Hodge?
48
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,590
Yeah. Sorry we're late.
49
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,319
Agents Scully and Mulder.
Professor Murphy.
50
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,311
Can I see some identification?
51
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,359
- What for?
- I wanna make sure we are who we say.
52
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,197
That's me.
53
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,397
It's you.
54
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,357
- That's me.
- Thanks a lot.
55
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:32,477
Well, now that we know who we are,

anybody care to guess why we're going?

56
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:39,158
Two federal agents, a geologist,
a doctor and a toxicologist.
57
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:40,832
That should give us some idea.
58
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,878
I assume you all took a look at the tape.
59
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,153
- Something wrong?
- Come on. You're FBI.
60
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,350
You have to know more than we do.
61
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,635
You folks the ones goin' up to Icy Cape?
62
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,951
- Yeah.
- Then I'm the one flyin' you.
63
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:10,194
My name's Bear. The plane's across the
way. Provisions are loaded. Grab your gear.
64
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,350
Can we see some credentials?
65
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,437
Credentials?
66
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:21,594
The only credentials I have is that
I'm the only pilot willing to fly you up there.
67
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,194
You don't like those credentials,...
68
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,396
..walk.
69

00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,759

Bear, see if you can get the power started.
70
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,596
Anything to get out of here.
71
00:09:06,560 --> 00:09:08,630
Where do we start?
72
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,790
The body bags are on the plane.
73
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:15,317
Before we touch anything, we have to
thoroughly document the scene.
74
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,638
Flashing.
75
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,798
That's what they were drilling for.
76
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,799
A quarter of a million years
melting away in a couple of days.
77
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:51,950
I'm gonna preserve some samples.
78
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,070
- It's the generator.
- Oh.
79
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,233
Agent Mulder!
80
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:44,869
Hold on!
81
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,153
Hold it down!
82
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,598
That ought to
keep him out for a while.
83

00:11:09,680 --> 00:11:12,558

- Are you OK?
- Yeah. He didn't break the skin.
84
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,710
- Bear? Are you OK?
- He got me.
85
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,839
- Get that jacket off.
- Just gimme the stuff. I'll do it myself.
86
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,070
Is it rabies?
87
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:31,552
I don't see any indication
of glottal spasm or tetany.
88
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:35,269
If it is rabies, it's not a strain
I'm familiar with.
89
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,874
Look at this. Black nodules.
90
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,598
Swollen lymph nodes.
91
00:11:39,680 --> 00:11:42,035
Symptoms of bubonic plague.
92
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,157
We'll do a blood test.
We'll take it from there.
93
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,595
This dog...
94
00:11:47,680 --> 00:11:50,478
..has got a skin irritation round its neck.
95
00:11:50,560 --> 00:11:53,791
Looks like it's been
scratching off its own hair.
96
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,436

Look at this. Look at this!

97
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,917
What... the hell... was that?
98
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,710
Agh! Oh...
99
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:51,079
From the autopsies, it's clear
these men killed one another.
100
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,869
There are contusions around
the throat areas of three men,...
101
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,116
..evidence of strangulation.
102
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,919
Richter and Campbell killed themselves.
103
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,514
I also found tissue damage due to fever.
104
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,238
Did any of them have
the black spots the dog has?
105
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,278
No. None of them had the black nodules.
106
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:14,832
So... those spots didn't have anything to do
with those guys killin' each other, right?
107
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,037
I wouldn't rule it out.
I just re-examined the dog.
108
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,556
- The nodules are gone.
- What could that mean?
109
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:26,111
It could mean the spots are a symptom
of some disease at an early stage.

110
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:57,953
Denny?
111
00:13:58,040 --> 00:13:59,712
Denny.
112
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,472
Denny. Sorry.
113
00:14:03,560 --> 00:14:05,949
The play-off game against Miami, '82.
114
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,110
Helps me get my mind off stuff.
115
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:13,394
My interpretation of satellite
remote sensing photos is a little rusty.
116
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,550
All right. This is the Icy Cape area.
117
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:20,873
It approximates the depth of the ice sheet
to be about... 3,000 metres thick.
118
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,030
I also found this data.
119
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:28,319
If I'm reading it correctly, the team actually
found the ice sheet to be twice that depth.
120
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:32,598
That's very good. The numbers indicate
the topography to be concave.
121
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,831
Looks like they were drilling
inside a meteor crater.
122
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:37,990
No, it's impossible.
123
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,958

- I analysed two samples.

- What did you find?
124
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:45,431
There seems to be a presence of
ammonium hydroxide in Richter's blood.
125
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,832
It's not possible. Ammonia would
vaporise at human body temperature.
126
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,514
I checked all the air filtration systems.
127
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,558
- I found no evidence of any such toxins.
- I have.
128
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,198
In the ice.
129
00:14:58,280 --> 00:14:59,952
And that's not all there is.
130
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:07,559
I found a high ratio of
ammonia to water in the ice core.
131
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,200
The Earth's atmosphere couldn't do that,
132
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,953
not even A million years ago.
Look in the scope.
133
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:17,158
Unless a foreign object
was introduced into that environment.
134
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,118
Tell me that's not a foreign object.
135
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,077
Oh! Scully.
136
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,029
That same thing is in Richter's blood!

137
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:35,440
What if that single-celled organism
is the larval stage of a larger animal?
138
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,268
That's kind of a leap, don't you think?
139
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,396
The evidence is there.
140
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,119
Maybe the organism
somehow got into the men.
141
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:50,273
Nothing can survive in subzero
temperatures for A million years.
142
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,954
Unless that's how it lives.
143
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,396
Look it, I don't see why
you're squabbling over some bug.
144
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,950
You said your autopsy found
those men killed each other.
145
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,112
That's it. I say let's get the hell out of here.
146
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,475
I agree. We can have the bodies...
147
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:10,155
..sent to a facility which can
make a definitive diagnosis.
148
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,636
In the event that something
was missed, Agent Scully.
149
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,235
If those bodies are infected,
we can't take them back.

150
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,630
We can't go back without
proper quarantine procedures.
151
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,312
We can't risk bringing back the next plague.
152
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,790
Say they did come down with something.
153
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,878
We haven't, and I ain't
waitin' around until we do.
154
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:33,670
I think it's safe to go back.
There's no reason why we'd be infected.
155
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,911
- We took all the safeguards.
- The dog did bite Bear.
156
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,992
- It jumped Mulder!
- There's only one way to proceed!
157
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,038
A doctor eliminates every possibility.
158
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,112
We must determine
if any of us is infected.
159
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,878
All right. Parasitic diagnostic procedure...
160
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:56,316
..requires us each to provide
a blood and a stool sample.
161
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,550
A stool sample?
162
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,791
Travel always makes that
kinda tough... for me.

163
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:06,271
OK... Anybody got the morning
sports section handy?
164
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,878
I ain't droppin' my cargo for no one.
165
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:15,511
I'm gettin' my gear, gettin' my plane,
and flyin' the hell outta here!
166
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,194
You can't go. The dog bit you.
167
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,517
I got hired to fly you up here
and fly you back!
168
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:27,071
No one said this might be part
of the deal, so the deal is over.
169
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:32,911
We can't let him leave.
170
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,594
- Who's gonna stop him?
- We have to.
171
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,399
We can't risk infecting the population.
172
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,675
He gets on that plane, I go with him.
173
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,354
- We don't have time to argue.
- Take a vote.
174
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:47,399
Who says we should confine Bear
until he agrees to an examination?
175
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,070
All right.

176
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,755
Bear, we just want to check you out.
177
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:05,470
If we don't find any trace of
the parasite or the virus, we'll all go.
178
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,470
All right.
179
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,630
Gimme the damn jar.
180
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:31,593
Murphy! Get a rope!
181
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:38,275
Here!
182
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:42,638
Oh, my God!
183
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,553
- Get my bag!
- What are you gonna do?!
184
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,279
- Cut it out.
- We don't know enough about it.
185
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,790
It's killing him!
Scully, help me move the skin.
186
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,909
Hold still, Bear.
187
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,390
Forceps.
188
00:19:12,360 --> 00:19:15,477
Hold still, Bear. One more second.
You're gonna be OK.
189
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:46,591
This is the AICP investigative team

calling Doolittle Airfield. Come in.

190
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,238
DAF responding.
191
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,949
This is Agent Mulder.
We have a serious biological hazard.
192
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,476
Request air pickup
and quarantine procedures. Over.
193
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:59,109
Come in, Doolittle Airfield!
194
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:03,671
We copy, Agent Mulder. We are under
a heavy storm. No aircraft can get out.
195
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:07,196
The military base in Kotzebue
could set up a quarantine.
196
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:11,193
Advise immediate evacuation.
The storm is heading your way. Over.
197
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,750
We were told we'd have
three clear days of weather! Over!
198
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,149
Welcome to the top of the world. Over.
199
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:22,109
ls Bear in any condition to fly? If we don't
leave in an hour, we're stuck for days.
200
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:28,752
He's dead.
201
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:51,038
It's similar to a tapeworm.
It has a scolex with suckers and hooks.
202
00:20:51,120 --> 00:20:54,590

So it's familiar.
Something you can deal with.
203
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,240
- What?
- No.
204
00:20:57,360 --> 00:21:00,989
Very different from any organism
at least that I know of.
205
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,878
Have you figured out how it's transmitted?
206
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,999
Exchange of fluids, touch, air?
All of the above? I don't know.
207
00:21:08,120 --> 00:21:12,272
All the other bodies had the creature.
Only this one is still alive.
208
00:21:12,360 --> 00:21:14,828
- All in the spine?
- No.
209
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:19,158
It appears they were in
the hypothalamus gland deep in the brain.
210
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,198
Hypothalamus?
What was that again?
211
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,714
It's a gland that secretes hormones.
212
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:29,078
Although... I don't know why a parasite
would want to attach to it.
213
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,799
Hypothalamus releases acetylcholine,...
214
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:35,190
..which produces violent,
aggressive behaviour.

215
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,555
See, that might be the connection.
216
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,997
Everybody that's been infected
certainly seems to act aggressively.
217
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:47,313
Maybe the worm feeds on acetylcholine
and stops us controlling violent behaviour.
218
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:52,520
- A parasite shouldn't want to kill its host.
- It doesn't kill you until it's extracted.
219
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,636
Then it releases a poison.
220
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,599
So you're saying the worm
makes you wanna kill other people.
221
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,638
Which is maybe what happened
to the first team.
222
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,836
Or what could happen to us.
223
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:08,072
- It's just a theory. We don't have any proof.
- Except five dead men.
224
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,277
If the worm makes people
violently aggressive,...
225
00:22:11,360 --> 00:22:14,557
..why did Richter and Campbell
kill themselves?
226
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,710
Maybe they did it to save us.
227
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:39,235
I'm just... uh... double-checking.
Making sure I didn't miss anything.

228
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,390
Just some sleep, right?
229
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,150
Sleep? I'm so tired, I can't sleep.
230
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:50,268
We're all wired and hypersensitive.
It'll be good to get a fresh start tomorrow.
231
00:22:50,360 --> 00:22:54,638
Mulder, I don't want to waste a second
trying to find a way to kill this thing.
232
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,790
I don't know if we should kill it.
233
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,790
This area of the ice sheet
is formed over a meteor crater.
234
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:05,793
The worm lives in ammonia.
It survived subzero temperatures.
235
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:11,716
Theorists believe in ammonia-supported life
on planets with freezing temperatures.
236
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:12,835
No.
237
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,798
A meteor that crashed here
A million years ago...
238
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,155
..may have carried such life to Earth.
239
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:22,711
Mulder, that pilot developed
surface symptoms within a few minutes.
240
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,236
Within a few hours,
that parasite had total control.

241
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:30,359
What would happen
if this got into the population?
242
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:35,912
A city the size of New York
could be infected within a few days.
243
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,195
Exactly. But what do we know about it?
244
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,590
This organism might be
lying dormant in another crater.
245
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,069
If we don't kill it now,
246
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,596
we risk becoming Richter and Campbell
with guns to our heads.
247
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:51,992
But if we do kill it now, we may never
know how to stop it in the future.
248
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,038
Future? Mulder, how can you talk...
249
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,750
Tell me it's hot in here.
250
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:10,032
Don't worry, you don't have a fever.
The heating's malfunctioning.
251
00:24:10,120 --> 00:24:13,032
Outside it's 40 below,
in here it's sweltering.
252
00:24:13,120 --> 00:24:17,671
- Can you hear what they're arguing about?
- Probably government secrets.
253
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,797
You think they knew what was here

before we arrived?
254
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,910
I'm sure of it.
255
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,436
You know, Bear's infected blood
did get on Scully.
256
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,949
It also got on you.
257
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:39,236
They d sacri ce
not just evidence, but themselves!
258
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:43,472
- How do you know it can't be contained?
- It can! By extermination!
259
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:47,712
We should take those bodies, worms
and all, outside and incinerate them!
260
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,195
Something going on
we should know about?
261
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,191
Agent Scully, are you all right?
262
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:56,478
- Yes. I'm fine. It's nothing.
- You seem a little bit stressed out.
263
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:01,955
What the hell are you trying to say?!
264
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:06,192
Let's settle down. It's been a long day.
We're all tired and scared.
265
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:10,512
- Let's not turn on one another.
- At least, not without a good reason.
266
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:12,795

Maybe we should
all get some sleep.
267
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:16,839
Are you kidding? You think
any of us could sleep right now?
268
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,435
Come on, guys, let's face it.
We gotta check for spots.
269
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,637
And any person who has them
should be confined.
270
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:25,790
Are we agreed on that?
271
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:27,990
Are you gonna do the exams?
272
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,118
No! We do them in front of each other.
273
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,270
No secrets.
274
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,315
Before anyone passes judgment,...
275
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,960
..may I remind you, we are in the Arctic.
276
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:17,071
Sleep tight.
Don't let the bedbugs bite.
277
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,230
Yeah. Good night.
278
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,033
Good night, Mulder.
279
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:38,673
Good night, Scully.
280

00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:40,830

At least everyone's OK.
281
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,195
Don't forget,...
282
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,157
..the spots on the dog went away.
283
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,469
The ball's on the three-yard line,...
284
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,120
..with only 15 seconds left in the game.
285
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,556
Fouts moves over the ball.
There's the snap!
286
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:30,831
Mulder, what are you doing?
287
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,559
Murphy's dead.
288
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:36,472
You killed him.
289
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:38,710
I found him like this.
290
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:40,836
I heard one of the doors close.
291
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,115
I came out to check it out.
292
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,509
- It's one of you.
- He's lying.
293
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,990
- You could've done it and not known.
- No, he said he didn't.
294
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:50,433

I have no symptoms.
295
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,590
- You checked him.
- Yeah, six hours ago!
296
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:56,036
- It was one of you!
- Stop it! Shut up!
297
00:30:58,000 --> 00:30:59,558
Mulder,...
298
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:03,030
..just put the gun down and
let Hodge give you a blood test.
299
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,680
And doctor the results? He may be infected!
300
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:07,870
He has to be confined - now!
301
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:11,032
Then turn around and let us
take a look at your neck!
302
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:15,352
I'm not turning my back on anyone!
As far as I'm concerned, you're all infected!
303
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,317
Hodge is right! Lock him up!
304
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,958
- Mulder!
- Scully, get that gun off me!
305
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,600
- Mulder, you have to understand!
- Put it down!
306
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:25,910
- You put it down first!
- Scully!
307
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:29,835

For God's sakes, it's me!

308
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,639
Mulder, you may not be who you are!
309
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,508
What were you doing?
310
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:10,670
You know what I was doing.
311
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,919
You know, you're the only one with a gun.
312
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,992
If you get infected, we don't stand a chance.
313
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:29,953
OK.
314
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:42,432
Was there something there?
315
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,954
You're OK, Nancy.
316
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:50,512
We're all OK. Now is not the time
for the three of us to turn on each other.
317
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:52,352
There's four of us.
318
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:56,831
- Mulder isn't one of us any more.
- If Mulder is infected, it's not his fault!
319
00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:00,230
We can't turn our backs on him now!
He needs us to help him!
320
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,676
She's right.
Prolonged exposure to the parasite...
321
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:07,150

..could damage him to the point

of permanent psychosis.
322
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:12,988
But if he is infected, he doesn't go back.
323
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,310
I won't risk the possibilities.
324
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,272
This is AICP calling Doolittle Airfield.
325
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,237
Please come in.
326
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:40,117
This is the Arctic Ice Core Project
sending a general distress call.
327
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:42,270
Please respond.
328
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:05,670
Nancy, put a drop of uninfected blood
on the slide of the blood from the pilot.
329
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,830
Run that by me again?
330
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:11,071
Put the uninfected blood
on the infected blood.
331
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:23,318
No, damn it! What did I just tell you?!
332
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,949
You infected the infected blood!
Now I have to start again!
333
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:30,476
- I made a mistake. Don't yell at me.
- Wasted hours of work!
334
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:35,111
OK, then just do it by yourself, damn it!
God! I'm not your assistant!

335
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:45,119
Hodge?
336
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:48,512
What?
337
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:50,670
Come take a look at this.
338
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:56,148
The larvae from two different worms
killed each other.
339
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:20,235
An individual worm will not tolerate
another invading its host.
340
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:23,118
It does to the invader what it did to humans.
341
00:36:23,240 --> 00:36:25,390
It makes them kill.
342
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:29,314
A species won't kill its own.
It needs another to procreate.
343
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:32,790
Worms are hermaphroditic.
It can reproduce itself.
344
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,440
Look at the evidence in the microscope.
345
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:38,869
This thing does not like company.
346
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:41,030
So what are you saying?
347
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:46,148
The way to kill it is to introduce another
worm into an already infected body?
348
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:02,710

Sounds OK.
349
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:16,910
It passed the worms in its stool.
350
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:18,991
They're dead.
351
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,110
I want to talk to him first,...
352
00:38:25,240 --> 00:38:27,231
..try and make this voluntary.
353
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:28,878
What?
354
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,030
You can't go in alone.
355
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:34,436
If anything happens, you come inside.
356
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,597
I can't do this to him until I'm sure.
357
00:38:43,720 --> 00:38:45,358
Is it just you?
358
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,112
Yes.
359
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:56,350
It's one of them.
360
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:59,591
No one's been killed
since you've been in here.
361
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:02,158
So?
362
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,510
We found a way to kill it.
363

00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:10,633

Two worms... in one host...
364
00:39:10,720 --> 00:39:12,790
..will kill each other.
365
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:20,672
You give me one worm, you'll infect me.
366
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:22,876
If that's true,...
367
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,713
..then why didn't you let us inspect you?
368
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:29,116
I would have, but you pulled a gun on me!
369
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:31,270
Now, I don't trust them!
370
00:39:33,240 --> 00:39:35,310
I want to trust you.
371
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:40,877
OK.
372
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,673
But now they're not here.
373
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:35,510
This is the last one.
374
00:40:38,240 --> 00:40:40,549
She's not gonna let us give it to him.
375
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:43,154
Well, she'll have to if he's infected.
376
00:40:43,240 --> 00:40:45,196
He'll convince her somehow.
377
00:40:53,240 --> 00:40:55,310
I just examined him.
378

00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:57,118

He's uninfected.
379
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:01,230
So is she.
380
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,993
Which means that it must be one of you.
381
00:41:05,720 --> 00:41:09,190
All right. Let's go over to the main building.
382
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:11,470
I'd like to check him myself.
383
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:13,915
Then he can examine both of us.
384
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:16,791
Want to lead the way?
385
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:25,993
No!
386
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:49,438
Get the worm!
387
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:00,759
No! No!
388
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:05,318
Oh, my God.
389
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:11,271
Mulder! It's her!
390
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:14,430
No! No!
391
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:19,996
Scully!
392
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:22,150
It's Da Silva!
393

00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:49,399

Hodge! Now!
394
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:55,230
Mulder! After this, there won't be any left!
They're all gonna be dead!
395
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:56,992
Do it!
396
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:07,270
Shh... Shh...
397
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:21,028
It's all right. It's all over.
398
00:43:22,720 --> 00:43:25,280
It all stops right here,...
399
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:27,430
..right now.
400
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:30,630
OK, I got it.
401
00:43:30,720 --> 00:43:33,473
At the intersection
of Yukon and 17th.
402
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:36,028
State patrol is on the scene. Code 3. Over.
403
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:47,077
She'll be put in quarantine
along with the dog.
404
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:51,711
We'll keep her there until we're sure
she won't infect the population.
405
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:55,952
Meanwhile, our tests came back normal,
so we've been released.
406
00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:59,999
Plane ready. It'll take you
as far from the ice as you wanna go.

407
00:44:00,720 --> 00:44:06,113
I'm goin' back to the site. This time I'm
going fully prepared with proper equipment.
408
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:09,909
There's still research to be done
on the genetic structure...
409
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:12,952
Wait, Mulder. Don't you know?
410
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:14,268
Know what?
411
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:18,399
45 minutes after evacuating us,
they torched the place.
412
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:20,232
There's nothing left.
413
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:22,038
Who did that?
414
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:25,510
The military? Centers for Disease Control?
415
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:28,757
You ought to know. They're your people.
416
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:36,750
It's still there, Scully.
417
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:40,430
200,000 years down,...
418
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:42,590
..in the ice.
419
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:47,196
Leave it there.
