We do our work.
507
00:38:06,494 --> 00:38:09,706
The truth still lies in the X-Files, Mulder.
508
00:38:16,963 --> 00:38:18,673
They said you were attacked.
509
00:38:19,299 --> 00:38:20,717
I was calling you.
510
00:38:21,134 --> 00:38:24,262
I didn't get your call.
Where have you been, Skinner?
511
00:38:25,513 --> 00:38:26,598
Where have you been?
512
00:38:26,806 --> 00:38:29,642
Leave it alone, Mulder.
I asked you to look for her.
513
00:38:29,851 --> 00:38:31,728
I looked for her.
Where did you look?
514
00:38:32,854 --> 00:38:34,189
I said leave it alone.
515
00:38:35,690 --> 00:38:37,025
You smell like smoke.
516
00:38:38,485 --> 00:38:39,736
Mulder.
517
00:38:46,117 --> 00:38:47,827
MAN 1: Break it up! Break it up!
518
00:38:48,036 --> 00:38:49,287
MAN 2: Come on.
519
00:38:50,371 --> 00:38:52,207
Whose side are you on?
520
00:38:52,749 --> 00:38:54,626
I said leave it alone, Mulder.
521
00:38:57,420 --> 00:38:59,589
MULDER:
What are you hiding?
522
00:39:02,133 --> 00:39:05,386
What could possibly make you think
that I would ever take your deal?
523
00:39:05,595 --> 00:39:07,180
You're not betraying Scully.
524
00:39:07,388 --> 00:39:10,767
She'll be with us. She's immune.
You get off on this, don't you?
525
00:39:10,934 --> 00:39:14,187
Ha, ha. Manufacturing destiny?
Then why kill Mulder?
526
00:39:14,395 --> 00:39:17,774
Mulder would kill me.
Scully will never take your offer.
527
00:39:19,776 --> 00:39:22,070
She'll take it.
Not without Mulder, she won't.
528
00:39:22,278 --> 00:39:24,531
I'll present her with a simple choice.
529
00:39:24,739 --> 00:39:26,908
Mulder or her only son.
530
00:39:27,116 --> 00:39:29,452
So this is just vengeance.
531
00:39:29,661 --> 00:39:31,037
Oh, it's more than that.
532
00:39:32,664 --> 00:39:34,958
Dana and I have a history.
533
00:39:35,416 --> 00:39:39,379
A very important history
that goes back 17 years.
534
00:39:45,510 --> 00:39:47,262
I'm glad you came.
535
00:39:48,012 --> 00:39:49,305
We'll need to take a trip.
536
00:39:50,265 --> 00:39:51,808
I'm here.
537
00:39:52,016 --> 00:39:53,309
It will require a few days.

00:40:10,702 --> 00:40:11,828
You drugged me.
540
00:40:11,995 --> 00:40:13,871
Ha, ha. I did nothing of the sort.
541
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:19,043
How did I get out of my clothes and into bed?
We carried you, my housekeeper and I.
542
00:40:19,252 --> 00:40:23,381
You'd been up for over 30 hours.
You were delirious. You can ask her.
543
00:40:23,590 --> 00:40:25,883
I don't know what you're up to.
544
00:40:26,884 --> 00:40:28,678
You impregnated her?
545
00:40:29,679 --> 00:40:31,889
With science, Mr. Skinner.
546
00:40:32,223 --> 00:40:34,475
Alien science.
547
00:40:34,767 --> 00:40:37,645
To create the first superhuman child.
548
00:40:37,854 --> 00:40:39,105
Mulder's not the father?
549
00:40:42,233 --> 00:40:46,446
I'm asking, who's the father?
550
00:40:47,989 --> 00:40:49,532
I am.
551
00:40:49,741 --> 00:40:51,326
William is my son.
