Professor of biology, University of Ivory Coast. 63 00:09:50,508 --> 00:09:52,469 He flew in yesterday from Africa. 64 00:09:52,552 --> 00:09:56,347 Two hours later he was apparently murdered at American University. 65 00:09:56,431 --> 00:09:59,434 His body is missing, but there was blood on the floor. 66 00:09:59,517 --> 00:10:03,938 Two students spoke to him when he asked them for directions to find a Dr Sandoz, 67 00:10:04,022 --> 00:10:06,065 also a professor of biology. 68 00:10:06,191 --> 00:10:08,693 Both men espouse a theory called panspermia. 69 00:10:08,777 --> 00:10:12,781 - It's the belief life originated... - Elsewhere... in this universe. 70 00:10:12,864 --> 00:10:16,951 - You've heard of this? - Yeah. It's the idea that Mars or other planets 71 00:10:17,035 --> 00:10:19,120 were habitable long before Earth. 72 00:10:19,204 --> 00:10:24,793 And that cosmic collisions on these planets blasted microbes into our solar system, 73 00:10:24,876 --> 00:10:28,546 - some of which flourished here. - You'd accept that as plausible? 74 00:10:28,630 --> 00:10:33,676 Well, almost any scientist would... theoretically. I mean, it's just a theory. 75 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,804 That's about it, though. 76 00:10:35,887 --> 00:10:38,389 Think this has anything to do with his death? 77 00:10:38,473 --> 00:10:43,937 Dr Merkmallen found an artefact in his country. This is a rubbing of that artefact. 78 00:10:44,062 --> 00:10:49,025 He claimed it contained a message of the very meaning of human existence. 79 00:10:49,108 --> 00:10:51,069 Much less plausible. 80 00:10:51,528 --> 00:10:55,990 Dr Sandoz, the man he'd come to meet, made a similar claim in a science journal. 81 00:10:56,074 --> 00:11:00,411 He said he'd found a artefact almost identical to that with similar writings on it. 82 00:11:00,495 --> 00:11:05,250 - And what was it supposed to say? - We'd have to ask Dr Sandoz that. 83 00:11:05,750 --> 00:11:08,878 - Well, why don't we? - We can't. He's missing. 84 00:11:12,173 --> 00:11:15,718 What are we doing, Mulder? This is a police matter at best. 85 00:11:15,802 --> 00:11:17,762 Skinner wants us on the case. 86 00:11:17,846 --> 00:11:21,266 You gonna convince me you have no personal interest in this case? 87 00:11:21,349 --> 00:11:24,811 - I am just a hired gun for the FBI. - Oh, come on. 88 00:11:24,894 --> 00:11:27,021 I wonder if there's something to this. 89 00:11:27,105 --> 00:11:33,027 Two men suggesting we're all Martians. Why would they possibly come into foul play? 90 00:11:33,111 --> 00:11:36,030 That's what we're being asked to figure out. 91 00:11:50,169 --> 00:11:52,922 I can't stand here... 92 00:11:53,006 --> 00:11:55,300 (Scully's voice fades out) 93 00:11:58,428 --> 00:12:00,722 (distorted voices) 94 00:12:12,066 --> 00:12:15,820 I mean, this endless pursuit of the truth, Mulder. 95 00:12:15,904 --> 00:12:19,741 It just doesn't make any sense to me now. 96 00:12:21,743 --> 00:12:24,203 Mulder? 97 00:12:24,287 --> 00:12:26,664 Did you hear a word of what I just said? 98 00:12:26,748 --> 00:12:28,833 - No. - No. 99 00:12:31,169 --> 00:12:34,923 - Well, maybe you didn't wanna hear it. - No, I... 100 00:12:36,132 --> 00:12:38,217 I couldn't hear it. 101 00:12:44,807 --> 00:12:46,684 Mulder? 102 00:12:48,227 --> 00:12:52,982 Look, after all you've done, after all you've uncovered - 103 00:12:53,066 --> 00:12:58,279 a conspiracy of men doing human experiments, men who are all now dead. 104 00:12:58,363 --> 00:13:01,032 You exposed their secrets. 105 00:13:01,115 --> 00:13:03,201 I mean, you've won. 106 00:13:04,827 --> 00:13:07,914 What more could you possibly hope to do or to find? 107 00:13:09,415 --> 00:13:11,501 My sister. 108 00:13:39,404 --> 00:13:43,491 Guess I was right about this being a police matter. 109 00:13:45,326 --> 00:13:47,704 - Detective. - Can I help you? 110 00:13:47,787 --> 00:13:50,581 Agents Mulder and Scully, FBI.

When Skinner gave it to us. 373 00:39:12,018 --> 00:39:15,021 - What kind of case is it? - Investigation into a murder. 374 00:39:15,104 --> 00:39:18,733 - Of whom? - It has nothing to do with what's happened. 375 00:39:18,816 --> 00:39:20,985 Agent Scully says it does. 376 00:39:21,110 --> 00:39:24,864 You know my background, my work on the X-Files. If I can help... 377 00:39:24,948 --> 00:39:28,284 The X-File here is a fraud. Scully has ample proof of that. 378 00:39:28,368 --> 00:39:31,871 Evidence authenticated by a scholar in authority. 379 00:39:32,997 --> 00:39:35,500 I never sent you that report. 380 00:39:35,625 --> 00:39:38,586 Anyway, the case is being resolved. 381 00:39:38,670 --> 00:39:41,756 Not as far as it affects Agent Mulder. 382 00:39:41,839 --> 00:39:46,344 - If you know what's happening, tell me. - Why were you with him last night? 383 00:39:46,469 --> 00:39:51,307 He called me. I found him in a university stairwell. He could barely speak. 384 00:39:51,391 --> 00:39:55,395 He said I was the only one who'd believe him. About an artefact. 385 00:39:57,647 --> 00:39:59,691 You're a liar. 386 00:40:00,692 --> 00:40:02,360 Scully. 387 00:40:05,196 --> 00:40:07,740 You're both liars. 388 00:40:16,332 --> 00:40:18,376 (chanting) 389 00:41:33,451 --> 00:41:35,662 (phone rings) 390 00:41:51,844 --> 00:41:53,930 - Hello? - Agent Scully. 391 00:41:54,013 --> 00:41:56,766 Dr Sandoz. I didn't know how else to reach you. 392 00:41:56,849 --> 00:42:00,812 - There's something... - I don't know if this is a secure line. 393 00:42:00,937 --> 00:42:03,356 Yes, all right. But I realised something. 394 00:42:03,439 --> 00:42:07,276 The letters Albert translated on the artefact, I know what they are. 395 00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,405 - What they are? - Yes. They're coordinates. 396 00:42:10,488 --> 00:42:12,532 - For what? - Genes. 397 00:42:12,615 --> 00:42:16,285 They're symbols for gene clusters. The human genome. 398 00:42:17,995 --> 00:42:19,664 - Are you there? - Yeah. 399 00:42:19,789 --> 00:42:21,207 I think it's all here. 400 00:42:21,290 --> 00:42:25,962 The map to our human genetic makeup. Every gene on every chromosome. 401 00:42:26,045 --> 00:42:28,798 - Proof of what I've been saying. - (neighing) 402 00:42:28,881 --> 00:42:31,467 If only we could find more pieces. 403 00:42:35,972 --> 00:42:37,306 Dr Sandoz? 404 00:42:38,683 --> 00:42:40,810 - Hello? - (gunshot) 405 00:42:45,314 --> 00:42:47,358 Dr Sandoz? 406 00:43:04,834 --> 00:43:07,253 (speaks African language) 407 00:43:13,843 --> 00:43:17,346 It's the same.
