SCENE 1
Interior Angela's room. It's morning. Angela is laying under
the covers, but she's awake. At the bottom of the screen
appears the text: Three Rivers, Pennsylvania. April 8, 7.15
a.m. Angela gets out of bed and gets her clothes.
ANGELA VO: Something is happening. Really. Something big.
She looks out of the window. On the street the Mercedes's skid
marks are clearly visible.
ANGELA VO: Brian is involved. I saw things. I told Jordan
and he doesn't know what to think of it. Neither do I. But it's scary. And I can't just ask
Brian.
Cut to Angela opening the front door. She is dressed now.
Wearing jeans, a t-shirt and her flanel shirt. She's sitting
on the porch with a bagel and a mug of milk. The sun shines,
it's a beautiful morning.
ANGELA VO: Nothing has changed. And everything has changed. It's hard to believe that a car chase actually took place in our street. And that somebody put a package in Brian's garbage can.
Angela looks across the street, the garbage can is gone. Then
she looks at Brian's house, all curtains are closed. The
newspaper boy comes by on his bike. As he sees Angela, he
stops and brings her the paper personally. He's about 12 years
old and wears a blue bicycle helmet with yellow lightning
flashes on it.
PAPERBOY: [hands the paper to Angela] Here you are.
ANGELA: [looking up, peaking her eyes because she looks into
the sun, takes the paper] Thanks.
The boy is a bit of a smart-ass but in a nice way. It's clear
that Angela is the adult in this situation. It shows that
she's enjoying this.
PAPERBOY: You're up early.
ANGELA: So are you.
PAPERBOY: I get paid for it. I guess you don't get paid for
sitting on your porch and eating a bagel.
ANGELA: I finished sleeping.
PAPERBOY: Yeah right. You feel like helping me?
ANGELA: No.
PAPERBOY: I give you two dollar.
ANGELA: Still no.
PAPERBOY: [after a few seconds] Well, it was worth trying.
Gotta go now. Bye. [turns and walks to his bike]
ANGELA: Bye. I like your helmet.
PAPERBOY: [turns and smiles] Gee, thanks.
ANGELA: [smiling] You're welcome.
The boy waves as he gets on his bike. Angela waves back. She
takes a sip from the real big mug, which covers a big part of
her face. In a second the relativity of Angela's adultness is
shown. But this doesn't seem to get through to Angela. She
puts the newspaper aside and leans back to enjoy the warmth of
the sunlight.
ANGELA VO: I am so low. Something big is going on and the one thing that really bothers me now is, when I think about it, that the stupid car thing ended the best kissing me and Jordan ever had. Like really ever.
A grey car stops across the street. Angela's POV. Mulder and
Scully get out and watch the skid marks on the street. Angela
watches them with attention. They walk to Brian's door and
Scully rings the bell. She gets no answer. Mulder knocks on
the door real hard. Angela hears him call.
MULDER: Hello. We're the F.B.I. Could you open the door?
They wait a while, but no one opens the door. Scully looks
around and sees Angela sitting on her porch. As Scully's and
Angela's eyes meet, Angela frightens a little. She sees Scully
saying something to Mulder and as Mulder walks around Brian's
house, Scully comes to Angela. Angela gets up.
SCULLY: [tries to talk friendly] Hello. I am special agent
Scully, F.B.I. [she shows her i.d.]
ANGELA: Hello. [little nervous, fast] Do you want to talk to
my parents? I could get them, but they're still
asleep. They went out yesterday.
SCULLY: No, that's o.k. I just want to talk with you.
ANGELA: [nervous, little scared] O. [little pause] Why?
SCULLY: [comforting voice] Relax. This is just routine.
[pauses] Did you see the skid marks on the road?
ANGELA: Yeah.
SCULLY: I thought so, they're pretty obvious. The car that
caused them must have braked all of a sudden from
high speed. And you can see it happened rather recently, like yesterday. Did you by any chance see or
hear anything?
ANGELA: [still nervous] Well. No. I mean, yes. [pauses] I
mean, it happened last night. Somewhere around
10.30. I was already asleep. And then I woke up from
the braking sound.
SCULLY: Did you see anyting?
ANGELA: I got out of bed and heard a car pull up fast. When
I looked out of the window. The car was gone.
SCULLY: Was it just one car?
ANGELA: [calm again] Well, I heard one brake and one pull
up. I assumed it was the same. Especially since
there wasn't any car left when I looked out of the
window.
SCULLY: Allright, thank you. [pauses] Do you know who lives
in the house across the street?
ANGELA: Yeah, of course. They're our neighbours. It's the
Krakows. But they have gone away yesterday. You see,
they are psychologists or something and they go away
to conferentions a lot.
SCULLY: Do they have any kids?
ANGELA: Just one. Brian, he's in my class.
SCULLY: Did he go along with them?
ANGELA: I guess so. If he's not answering the door.
SCULLY: O.K. That will do. You helped out a lot. Can you
tell me your name?
ANGELA: Sure. It's Angela Chase.
SCULLY: Thanks a lot, Angela. [reaches in her inside pocket]
If you remember more or thinks of something else,
you can call me. Here's my card. [hands her her
card]
ANGELA: Thanks. [looks at the card] Can you tell me what
this is all about?
SCULLY: No and that's mostly because we don't know it either.
ANGELA: Oh.
SCULLY: Well then. See you around, Angela.
ANGELA: Yeah. And agent Scully?
SCULLY: Yes?
ANGELA: [smiling] I like your hair.
SCULLY: [surprised, mumbling] Thanks.
Scully walks away, Angela's POV. Mulder is looking at the skid
marks again and trying to find something out. Angela picks up
the mug and the paper. Scully's POV. Angela walks through the
front door and leaves it open. For a few seconds we only see
the open door.
SCENE 2
Interior car. Scully is driving, Mulder is talking on the
phone.
MULDER: [in the phone] Thanks. [puts away phone, to Scully]
Well the girl was right about the Krakows. They went
to some conferention in Chicago. Took the plane at
10 p.m. yesterday. [pauses] But they went by themselves. The kid didn't come with them.
SCULLY: She *knew* that. She was hiding something.
MULDER: And lying about the cars. There was a red car in
front of the girl's house. I couldn't take a good
look at it 'cause I was following the Branigan Mercedes, but it looked like a Plymouth convertible
with the top closed.
SCULLY: A boyfriend coming over? She said her parents went
out yesterday. Maybe she's afraid they'll find out.
Scully pulls over and parks the car in a street with a lot of
shops. They get out and walk into a diner. They sit down on a
couch and a waitress comes to take their order.
MULDER: Two coffee please.
WAITRESS: On their way. [walks away]
SCULLY: Why would she lie about the boy, Brian Krakow?
MULDER: She must have seen something.
SCULLY: What was there to see? *You* didn't see much.
MULDER: I wasn't close enough. This probably happened: Branigan noticed or *felt* someone was following her.
She steps on it and tries to loose me. I'm positive
she sensed or felt it. When she started to race, I
was invisible for her. I do my best to follow her,
but can't get too close of course. When she gets at
the Krakow house they almost lost me. She brakes
like hell, she must have been driving 60 or something. I see the car as it pulls away again. Maybe
she got out, maybe she didn't, 'cause I was coming.
And she went home again with a big detour.
SCULLY: Maybe they picked the boy up.
MULDER: Could be, or they delivered something.
The waitress brings the coffee.
WAITRESS: Here you are. [walks away immediately]
SCULLY: Thanks anyway.
Mulder stirs his coffee, without putting any sugar or cream in
it. Then he puts his face in his hands and yawns.
MULDER: I guess I need some fresh forest air too.
SCENE 3
Interior Chase kitchen. Graham is making coffee. Patty is
putting things in the fridge.
PATTY: [exhausted] Thank god we *did* the groceries. [closes the fridge]
GRAHAM: Yeah. Now the weekend really begins.
Angela comes in, opens the fridge and gets out a bottle of
orange juice.
PATTY: You were up early.
ANGELA: I didn't wake you, did I?
PATTY: Only long enough to take one hazy look at the alarm
clock.
ANGELA: Good. How were Neil and Marla?
GRAHAM: Together, *again*. We had fun.
Angela looks surprised.
PATTY: We had. Really!
ANGELA: Allright, allright. [pauses, looks around] Did you
leave Danielle in the trunk?
GRAHAM: [looking scared] O, no! We *did*. I hope she's still
alive.
Danielle comes in.
DANIELLE: I managed to get out myself. Of course. [looks
triumphantically, she's beaten their joke] Mom,
could you make braids later?
ANGELA: *I* will. [looks at Danielle] If you let me.
DANIELLE: Cool.
PATTY: So, how was the concert?
ANGELA: [big smile] It was the best. We had so much fun.
Sharon and Rayanne were also there. And the band
played for like two hours.
PATTY: And Jordan brought you home?
ANGELA: Yes. And he didn't drink.
PATTY: Of course, I know that. [pauses, thinks of something] Maybe you can invite him for dinner some time.
ANGELA: *Mom*.
DANIELLE: Yeah, then I can meet him too.
ANGELA: No way. Just forget it. I'm not bringing Jordan
Catalano over for dinner. The idea.
PATTY: Allright. [to Danielle] Honey, when is Brian coming
over for your lessons?
DANIELLE: At four. [looks at her watch] In 3 and a half hours.
PATTY: [smiles] O.K. Berenice and Bob left for the weekend,
maybe we could ask *him* over for dinner.
DANIELLE: Yes, that's fun. [to Angela] Maybe we should rent a
movie and watch it with Brian tonight.
ANGELA: Maybe.
SCENE 4
Exterior woods. A small uphill, mud and stone road. The same
blue Chevrolet as yesterday in Angela's street is slowly
getting up hill. We see Mulder in it. Cut to interior car. A
map is on the passenger seat. Through the radio we hear Neil
Young's "Like a hurricane". Mulder is mumbling along. Out of
nowhere a deer crosses the road and even though he's driving
only 15 m.p.h., he has to brake fast. The deer disappears.
Mulder takes a deep breath, puts the car in the first gear and
continues. After one curve he reaches the cabin. The road
continues uphill, but the cabin has some space to park and
turn. He turns the car and gets out. The cabin looks simple.
There is still some orange plastic 'police crime scene' ribbon
flattering around the house. The door is locked. Mulder opens
the door with a key. He goes through the cabin, but everything
is cleaned up there. The first floor is a living room and
kitchen. Furniture is sparse, there is no t.v. or stereo. He
pokes in the ashes of the fireplace, but he can't find a
thing. Then he walks upstairs. There is a bathroom and two
small bedrooms. He looks around in the bedrooms, lifts up the
sheets, but there is nothing there. He walks down again, out
of the cabin and walks through the immediate surroundings of
the cabin. The trees and bushes are very thick. A roaring
river is heard. Mulder walks down to where the river should
be. He has to push branches away to get through. Just before
he enters an open space, a thorny branch gets in his face. It
causes a pretty big scratch on his cheek. He touches the blood
on his face.He looks at the branch that caused the scratch. It
is part of a big bush. When Mulder looks more closely and
reaches a little down. On one of the thorns sticks some long
blond hair. Mulder gets it and puts it in a little plastic
evidence bag he gets out of his inside pocket. Then he walks
to the open space, there's a tree right in the middle. The
sound of the water is pretty hard now. Mulder walks to the
tree and looks around the open space. It's a circle with a
diameter of 15 yards. The soil is covered with moss and high
grass. At one spot, at the edge of the open space, there are a
lot of dead leaves on the ground. Mulder walks to them, shoves
them away with his hands and sees that the ground beneath is
recently been worked. He shoves all of the leaves away and
recover a spot of 7 feet long and 3 feet wide. It looks like a
grave. He walks back to the cabin and he finds a spade. At the
spot he takes off his jacket and starts digging. Pretty fast
he bumps into something. It's a wooden box and it's only one
feet under the ground. The lid on it is not fastened. Mulder
shoves the lid away. In the box is a big bouquet of rotten
flowers. Mulder stares at it for a few seconds. Then his phone
rings. He gets his jacket and reaches for the phone.
MULDER: Hello?
Scully is standing in front of a big house. On the driveway are a police car and an ambulance. Two paramedics carry a brancard out of the house. The body on it is totally covered in a blanket. As Mulder and Scully talk the shots switch from Scully to Mulder a couple of times.
SCULLY: Mulder, it's me.
MULDER: I was just gonna call you.
SCULLY: [serious] Listen. I found dr. Walden dead. In his
house. There are no signs of murder, but I found a
broken window in the back door. So somebody forced
his way in.
MULDER: What is it? Haemorraghe?
SCULLY: I don't know that yet. There *was* some dried up
blood from out of his nose. He died only a few hours
ago. We're on something, Mulder.
MULDER: I know. I found an empty K-mart coffin with some
rotten flowers in it near the cabin. And some hair
with a slight familiar look.
SCULLY: I'll get the cops over to you, so they can take some
pictures. I'm going to mrs. Branigan. Meet me there?
MULDER: O.K.
Back to Mulder. He looks at the coffin again. The camera goes
up, focusing on Mulder, the grave, the center tree and the
open space. It all gets smaller and smaller.
SCENE 5
Interior Angela's room. Angela's making braids in Danielle's
hair, they're sitting on Angela's bed. Rickie is there too.
He's putting on some eyeliner in front of the mirror.
DANIELLE: So, Rickie, are you staying for dinner too?
RICKIE: Uh, [not sure, looks at Angela] I dunno.
ANGELA: [enthousiastic] Come on. It'll be fun. I'll ask my
dad. Brian is probably coming too.
DANIELLE: And we're gonna rent a movie. A scary one, like
"Scream".
ANGELA: Danielle, you are too young to watch that.
DANIELLE: So are you!
RICKIE: That's right.
PATTY: [from downstairs, off-screen] Danielle, telephone!
Danielle runs off. One braid is falling apart.
ANGELA: I can start all over again.
RICKIE: I wish I had a sister.
ANGELA: Well, sometimes it's fun. [stands up, puts a tape in
her stereo, turns it on and immediately turns it off
again] Rickie, I got to talk to you about Brian.
Something's going on.
Angela stops talking, because Danielle enters the room again.
She looks angry and disappointed.
ANGELA: What?
DANIELLE: That was Brian. He's cancelling the lesson and he's
not coming over for dinner or for the movie. He says
he's too busy and not feeling too well. He says
we'll do an extra lesson next week.
Angela looks at Rickie and frowns.
DANIELLE: I don't care for the braids anymore. But we can
still rent a movie right?
ANGELA: Sure.
DANIELLE: I'm going outside on my bike. Bye.
Danielle walks away. Rickie stands up and sits down on the bed
close to Angela.
RICKIE: I know what's going on.
ANGELA: [surprised/frightened] You do?
RICKIE: Well, it *is* pretty obvious that Danielle is having
a crush on Brian Krakow.
ANGELA: O, you mean *that*.
RICKIE: Of course. What did you think?
ANGELA: Something real is going on. At least I think so.
Listen to this. Two nights ago, I was looking out my
window and a black Mercedes stops in front of Brian's house. Brian was already outside. Somebody in
the car gave him something. Like a big package.
RICKIE: [a little frightened] Really?
ANGELA: Really. But that's just the beginning. Last night
when Jordan brought me home, the same black Mercedes
comes racing through the street. Stops at Brian's
house and a woman gets out puts something real heavy
in Brian's garbage can. As it races away again another car comes by. Following the Mercedes, only trying not to be seen.
RICKIE: Did they see you?
ANGELA: I don't think so. We got beneath the windows of
Jordan's car. And then finally this morning, the
F.B.I. is examining the skid marks caused by the
Mercedes. Like they knew it had been there. And they
were knocking on Brian's door, but he didn't answer.
I was outside and this F.B.I. woman - with this real
cool red hair, obviously not out of a bottle - comes
asking questions. Like if I had seen anything.
RICKIE: What did you tell her?
ANGELA: That I had seen nothing. That I was in my bed and
woke up from the braking sound.
RICKIE: [astonished, loud] Angela, you *lied*. To the
*F.B.I.* You can go to jail for that.
ANGELA: Shhht. Shut up. I know that. But I don't know what
Brian's up to and I don't want to get him into trouble.
RICKIE: If the F.B.I. is knocking on his door and he is not
answering, he probably is in real big trouble already.
ANGELA: Yes. But you know Brian, he's not a criminal. I
called him a couple of times today, but he didn't
answer. Maybe we should go to him now. We know that
he's home.
She stands up. Pretty sure about herself. She walks out of the
room and Rickie follows, nervous.
SCENE 7
Exterior N.P.A. house. We see the house from out of the air
and on the road to it, we see Mulder's blue car. Scully's grey
car is on the driveway, with the driver's door open. We get
closer and then cut to Mulder parking his car next to Scully's. They both get out.
SCULLY: What happened to your face?
MULDER: Some real good "men in the wild" experience.
SCULLY: [agitated] You're not gonna believe this.
MULDER: She left.
SCULLY: Yes.
MULDER: The butler?
SCULLY: He's still here. He told me mrs. Branigan suddenly
packed a suitcase, got in her car and said she won't
be back for a couple of weeks. He thinks she's gone
to Europe.
MULDER: She's scared of something.
SCULLY: Like getting convicted for murder.
MULDER: No, that doesn't make sense. [pauses, thinks]
SCULLY: I looked around in the house and I took some hair of
her pillow.
MULDER: Great. [reaches in his inside pocket] This is what I
found. We should get this to the cops and have it
examined. But keep something behind. [Scully frowns]
Just in case they decide to loose it.
A phone rings. They both reach for it. It is Scully's.
SCULLY: Hello? - Yes. - You are sure? - O.K. - Thank you.
[puts phone away and looks at Mulder] Dr. Walden had
indeed a very severe haemmoraghe. Similar to Branigan's. And Walden was also I good shape. And 15
years younger.
MULDER: [to himself] What is going on?
SCULLY: I think we should go back to D.C. to find about
paranormal powers that can cause these haemorraghes.
I don't think there are more than 25 people in the
U.S. who can do that.
MULDER: You go. I'll stay here and try to find out about the
Krakows. And we should track mrs. Branigan and put
her somewhere safe before she gets an haemorraghe,
too.
SCULLY: You think so?
MULDER: Yes. I'm positive those hairs match. So she dug or
helped dig the grave. It was most likely for David,
somehow they knew he was going to die. And *he* died
of natural causes. They wanted to bury him in the
woods, because they probably didn't want anyone to
know he was dead. Why, we don't know. But their
intentions were honorable. They even got flowers and
made a coffin.
SCULLY: Yes. But before they could bury David, somebody else
came and gave Branigan his haemorraghe.
MULDER: And somehow mrs. Branigan got away, or maybe she had
left already.
SCULLY: But where is the blood and why is was it taken?
MULDER: Either mrs. Branigan took it, or the killer took it.
And I think it was mrs. Branigan, who was helped by
dr. Walden. Since it was done professionally and
since he's dead too.
SCULLY: Walden was suspended by the hospital director for
three months, but no one in the hospital could tell
me why. The hospital director could not be reached.
MULDER: Let's get out of here. And come back as soon as you
can.
They get in their cars and drive away in different directions.
Mulder drives back the way he came. As the camera pulls backwards to capture more space in the shot, we see a beige car
coming around a corner and following Mulder.
SCENE 8
Exterior Angela's street. Angela and Rickie cross the street
and walk to Brian's house. Angela rings the bell. When Brian
doesn't answer, Angela knocks on the door and yells.
ANGELA: Brian! Open the door. We know you're in there.
Still no answer. Rickie is obviously getting nervous.
ANGELA: Maybe we should try the back door.
RICKIE: [fast] No. [pauses] We should call the police.
Angela looks in the street and sees the blue chevrolet of last
night coming. She gets a little afraid.
ANGELA: Rickie, just be calm. We're going back to my house.
RICKIE: What?
ANGELA: There's one of the cars I told you about.
RICKIE: [panicking] Oh my god.
ANGELA: Just relax, we have nothing to do with this.
The car stops and Mulder (*we* knew that) gets out. Angela
recognizes him. He walks towards them.
MULDER: Hello. You're Angela Chase, right?
ANGELA: That's right.
MULDER: I'm agent Mulder, F.B.I. I was here this morning,
you talked to my partner, agent Scully.
ANGELA: I recognized you.
MULDER: So, how's Brian?
ANGELA: I wouldn't know. He's not home.
MULDER: So he left with his parents for Chicago?
ANGELA: I didn't know they went to Chicago, but if they did
he's probably with them. Since he's not here.
MULDER: O.K. And if I told you that we checked that and
found out that his parents went to Chicago by themselves?
ANGELA: Well, I still wouldn't know where Brian is. Maybe
they dropped him off at his grandparents's. They
live somewhere in Pittsburgh.
MULDER: Fine. [to Rickie] Do you drive a red Plymouth convertible?
RICKIE: [nervous] No. [looking to Angela] That's her boyfriend.
MULDER: [smiling] O.K. Thanks. Bye.
Mulder turns around and walks to his car. Angela and Rickie
watch him turn the car and drive away. A beige car can be seen
pulling away and following Mulder. Angela and Rickie take no
notice of that. They cross the street.
ANGELA: We should get back to Brian.
RICKIE: No. [still shaky] They're probably watching us right
now. We should try to call him on the phone.
ANGELA: [looking at Rickie in surprise] Wow. You're right.
[pauses] And guess what? You lied to the F.B.I. too.
RICKIE: I didn't.
ANGELA: Well, you let me lie. That's pretty much the same.
RICKIE: But what about Jordan's car?
ANGELA: He saw it last night. As he followed the Mercedes.
He knows I'm hiding something, but I hope he thinks
it's something relatively innocent.
SCENE 9
Interior Chase house. The Chase family and Rickie are having
dinner. Rickie is talking to Danielle, Angela seems a little
absent minded.
ANGELA VO: I've been impatient before. And sometimes that
feels good. Like when you're impatient for your
birthday. Or for a date with Jordan. But the
feeling that's posessing me now is not good at
all. It's fear.
PATTY: [to Angela, looking concerned] Honey, are you feeling allright?
ANGELA: [quickly putting on a smile] Oh yes. I'm just a
little tired. It *was* pretty early this morning.
Rickie smiles at her and Patty nods. They continue eating. Cut
to Chase living room. Rickie, Danielle and Angela are watching
"Scream". It's the scene where the principal gets killed. In
front of them is a large bowl of popcorn. Danielle is sitting
very close to Angela, holding her arm. Rickie and Angela don't
seem to have their attention completely at the movie.
ANGELA VO: Maybe sometimes I thought my life was waiting
for something to happen, but this is not what I
meant. This is going to change our entire lives. And I can't tell mom and dad. They can't
handle something like this. They'd probably
screw everything up.
Cut to the Chase door. Rickie's being picked up by mr. Katimski. Angela and Rickie stand at the door. They talk quietly.
RICKIE: I'm sorry. But I really gotta go.
ANGELA: It's o.k. I'll try to call Brian tonight and I'll
call you tomorrow.
RICKIE: O.K. Bye. [kisses her on the cheek]
ANGELA: Bye.
Angela closes the door. Graham and Patty are in the living
room. Patty is reading a magazine, Graham a cooking book.
Angela walks to them.
ANGELA: I'm really tired, I'm going to bed.
GRAHAM: Allright. Sleep well, then you'll be ready for your
first lesson tomorrow: Chase's stuffed turkey.
Angela and Patty look really surprised.
ANGELA: [hesitating] Dad -
PATTY: [astonished] Did you buy a turkey? You hate turkey.
GRAHAM: Relax. It was a joke. Ha ha. [to Angela] No, we're
gonna make a real good hazelnut-torte.
ANGELA: That's better. Well, goodnight. [kisses them both]
GRAHAM: Goodnight.
PATTY: Goodnight, honey.
Angela walks up the stairs.
SCENE 10
Interior F.B.I. office. Scully is sitting at a desk behind a
computer. On the desk are a couple of books on paranormal
activity. She's reading one of them and underlines sentences
with a pencil. Then assistant director Skinner comes in.
SCULLY: Sir.
SKINNER: I've got something for you.
He hands her a xeroxed article. Scully looks at it and starts
to read it. After a few seconds she looks up.
SCULLY: It's dated 1967. Where did you get this?
SKINNER: Listen Scully, this article doesn't exist. [pauses]
It's from a scientific journal called Cortex. The
article is from the last issue. For some reason all
the copies of this issue were destroyed and nobody
ever got one. And there never came a next issue.
SCULLY: Where did you get this?
SKINNER: You don't want to know.
Skinner turns around and walks away. Scully watches him leave
and then she starts to read the article.
SCENE 11
Interior motel room. Mulder is sitting at a table going
through some papers, he has his glasses on. On the table are
also his gun, an empty coffee mug and his phone. We see the
papers he's reading. It are copies of Brian's report cards.
It's all A's. Another sheet of paper says: Pittsburgh University Chemistry Department. On it are also Brian's name and
some grades: two A's and one A minus. Mulder's phone rings.
MULDER: Hello?
SCULLY: It's me.
As they talk the shots switch from Mulder to Scully.
MULDER: And?
SCULLY: I found out why David got the one hundred grand from
the army.
MULDER: Is that important?
SCULLY: It explains everything. The army intelligence is
involved. In a bad way. Look Mulder, it -
A loud beep is heard in the phones.
SCULLY: Mulder?
MULDER: Somebody's listening.
He puts the phone down. Suddenly he grabs his head and sighs
and mourns. He screams. He grabs his gun and unlocks it. The
pain in his head is so bad, he can't walk straight. It takes
Mulder a few seconds to reach the door. He opens the door and
on the parking lot someone gets in the beige car and drives
away. Mulder watches the car leave. The headache goes away. He
gets back inside, locks the door and gets to the bathroom. In
the mirror we see a little blood coming out of his nose. In
the mirror we see Mulder touching the blood and looking at it.
He stares at it for a couple of seconds and then the screen
turns to black.
