Twin War Gods come to Their Father, seeking Magic and Weapons to eliminate The Monsters of The World.









“ Dear Son,
I hope this letter finds you well. I get reports of you from time.

I know these letters come as a surprise. You must wonder about me.

I remind myself of a Navajo story. Twin War Gods come to their Father, seeking Magic and Weapons to eliminate The Monsters of The World.

My Hope is the same for you, and that we might reconcile the differences between us.

Your Loving Father, “

But no name is printed. 
The paper is pulled out of the typewriter. 

Cut to the boy. 
Trudging through the white snow, he reaches a cabin and knocks hard on the door. 

The door opens, and a MAN, whose face remains unseen, hands the boy a red envelope containing the letter he just typed, and some money. 

The boy takes both.

BOY: 
Thanks, mister. I'll mail it right off.

The man closes the door, and the boy looks at the envelope and reads the address aloud to himself, querying it.

BOY: 
"Federal Bureau of Investigation?"




SCENE 6

Cut to a sign on a wire fence which reads:


WIEKAMP AIRFORCE BASE 

NO TRESPASSING 

BEYOND THIS POINT 

BY AUTHORITY OF 

THE U.S. GOVERNMENT


Moving over the fence, topped with barbed wire, we hear the steady whooshing of an aircraft, and suddenly, a huge fireball plummets into the ground and erupts in a gigantic explosion which illuminates the entire area. 


The aircraft is a UFO, now set ablaze, burning. 


After a while, we see a man dragging another man from the wreckage, and we hear the faint wailing of army trucks in the background. 


Four or five of them. 

From the trucks emerge men with guns, and they point them straight at the man dragging the body - a FACELESS MAN, 

with another faceless man lying dead on the ground. 



Cut to pictures of the Ruskin Dam. 

They are being held by Scully, 

who is still laying in her hospital bed. 

Mulder is by her bedside.




SCENE 7 

SCULLY'S HOSPITAL ROOM


SCULLY: 

I don't know what to say. I mean, I - 

I don't have the first clue. There's nothing here.


MULDER: 

Well, at least you're not alone. 

None of the other survivors have been able 

to give a cogent account, either.


SCULLY: 

Mulder, I have never been here. 

I couldn't tell you how to get here, let alone drive it.


MULDER: 

Do you remember when you last saw Cassandra Spender?


SCULLY: 

She was there, too?


Mulder nods.


MULDER: 

I ran more x-rays. 

I haven't told anybody yet what I found, though.


SCULLY: 

You found more implants?


Again, Mulder nods.


MULDER: 

That would explain How you were directed to the site, 

and Why you can't remember. 

It would explain the sensation 

Cassandra Spender was describing, 

her abduction fantasies. 


It would explain Skyland Mountain.


SCULLY: 

Yeah, but it wouldn't explain why They would want to kill me. And it doesn't explain why I survived.


MULDER

It all comes down to A Question, Scully. 

One that hasn't been answered 

or I don't even think honestly addressed


Who made that chip in your neck? 

That chip was found in a military research facility. 


Our Government made that chip, 

implanted it in your neck 

as part of a secret military project 

to develop a biochemical weapon, 

to monitor your immunity, 

or to destroy you like a lab rat, 

if The Truth were to be exposed. 


Your Cancer ... Your Cure ... 

Everything that's happening to you now - 

it all points to that chip. 


The Truth I've been searching for? 

That Truth is in you.


SCULLY

Mulder, when I met you five years ago, 

you told me that Your Sister had been abducted 

... by aliens


That that event had marked you so deeply, 

that nothing else mattered


I didn't believe you, but I followed you, 

on nothing more than Your Faith 

that The Truth was Out There, 

based not on Facts, not on Science, 

but on Your Memories 

that Your Sister had been taken from you. 


Your memories were all that you had.


MULDER: 

I Don't Trust those memories now.


SCULLY: 

Well, whether you Trust them or Not

they've led you here. And me


But I have no memories to either Trust nor Distrust, 

and if you ask me now to follow you again, 

to stand behind you in What You Now Believe, 

without knowing What Happened to Me out there, 

without those memories, I can't. I won't.



[Mulder stands and looks out the window.]


MULDER: 

If I could give you those memories, 

if I could prove that I Was Right 

and that What I Believed for so long was wrong ...


SCULLY: 

Is that what you really want?



From his expression, 

we know that he's not sure


We then cut to a black and white photo of the captured faceless man, along with two military officers 

(one who looks amazingly like Adolf Hitler!) 


The photo is being held by the First Elder, 

who then passes it along to the Second Elder. 


The members of the Syndicate (ie. the "Elders") are standing around a circular table, through which they can see the comatose Marita Covarrubias.




SCENE 8 

MEDICAL FACILITY


FIRST ELDER: 

The facial scarrings appear to be 

self-mutilation done as protection.


THIRD ELDER: 

Protection against what?


FIRST ELDER: 

Infection by The Black Oil. 

He was the lone survivor of a crashed spacecraft 

at a military base in West Virginia.


THIRD ELDER: 

What the hell is he?


WMM: 

An alien Rebel. This is what the boy saw in Russia. 

The last face The Dead saw at Skyland Mountain, 

and most surely who killed Our Man at the dam in Pennsylvania. 


He's a resistance fighter against the alien colonists. 

This is what Alex Krycek knew - 

That a War had begun.


FIRST ELDER: 

What good was that knowledge? 

Without The Vaccine against The Black Oil, 

no one can survive.


WMM: 

We have A Vaccine. 

Developed by the Russians, 

stolen by Krycek, given to me.


They watch as, below, Marita's doctor 

prepares The Vaccine for injection.


WMM: 

Do you see what this means

Resistance is Possible

We have The Weapons and The Magic in hand.


FIRST ELDER: 

We don't know The Vaccine works.


WMM: 

It will. And if it doesn't

we have a new alliance to be made.


FIRST ELDER: 

Side with The Resistance?


THIRD ELDER: 

Suicide.


FIRST ELDER: 

They'll squash us as They do Them. 

We must turn The Rebel over.


WMM: 

But first

wait till we know The Vaccine works.


The Well Manicured Man taps on the glass, indicating for the doctor to open Marita's eyes to see The Black Oil. 


It is still in her, and The Doctor carefully injects the vaccine.
