MULDER: They're clones.
JEREMIAH SMITH: Serial ovotypes. Have you seen enough, Mister Mulder?
We can't stay around here much longer. |
SCULLY: All beginning with
the letters S-E-P. You know what these are. Confirm or deny.
X: Smallpox eradication program.
SCULLY: Smallpox? |
SCULLY: You say "a twenty-letter
code" to any scientist, and they immediately think "protein
amino acid sequence..." which
is what this turned out to be.
PENDRELL: Protein sequence for
what? (She starts to type.)
SCULLY: Cowpox virus...
the virus used to inoculate
humans against smallpox.
PENDRELL: Okay, right. These guys were keeping records of smallpox
inoculations. Why? |
SCULLY: Actually, it's an
image created by what's called a confocal
microscope. You're looking at
a three-dimensional picture of the location of a protein.
In this case, cowpox structural
protein number six. It's one of
the inoculants used in smallpox
vaccines.
SENIOR FBI AGENT: Where'd it come from?
SCULLY: From me. I had a biopsy
taken from the smallpox vaccination
scar on my upper arm. Through a process
called immunohistochemical
staining and through the addition of an antibody
for the cowpox virus
six, I was able to get this picture of the location of a protein...
a single, non-random, protein pattern.

DOCTOR: She's completely
nonresponsive. We did a preliminary tox screen on her found traces
of 
morphine and
scopolamine. |
| SCULLY: (to the doctor) Give
her a PET scan. |
SCULLY: She's been given
what's called a transorbital
lobotomy. It used to be known
as an icepick lobotomy. It involves
inserting a leukotome through
the eye sockets.

| SCULLY: Mulder, if you had
to do without a cell phone for two minutes, you'd lapse into catatonic
schizophrenia. |
MULDER: Now, Scully, that
child inside is a tragedy. Some young parents, probably scared kids,
disposed of an unwanted birth... in a very certain sense, infanticide
is involved, but this is not an F.B.I. matter.
SCULLY: But from what I know from about genetic
defects, Mulder, it's unlikely that child is a result of a single
polygenic mating. |
| SCULLY: Those defects, Mulder,
are autosomal dominant disorders,
and from the degree, I'd say, mutations
that go back many generations. |
MULDER: His chest is one
big hematoma. There's wood shavings
embedded in what's left of the 
cranium. |
| SCULLY: Damn it. The lab
screwed up the DNA test on the infant.
Multiple maldistribution, chromosomal
breakage, maldivision of the centromere... |
| SCULLY: Oh, my God... Mulder...
it looks as if this child has been afflicted by every rare birth defect
known to science. I mean, I, I'm going to have to order DNA
typing from the crime lab, but... there appears to be abnormalities
associated with Nev-Laxova Syndrome, Meckel-Gruber
Syndrome, estrophy of the cloaca,
I mean, I don't even know where to begin. |
MULDER: You suspected these
abnormalities.
SCULLY: Yeah, but this shows far too many gene
imbalances. It would have to be a lab error. This child's cells
would have had to divide triple-fold in cell
metaphase. |
MULDER: Triple? Hey, Scully,
what if... each of the Peacock brothers was the father of that child?
SCULLY: Mulder... only one sperm
in thousands from a single individual can penetrate an ovum
membrane, let alone from three
separate males.
MULDER: What if generations of autosomal
breeding could produce such a mutation?
SCULLY: No. For that to be even remotely possible, there'd, there'd
have to be a weakening of the ovum,
and that would have to come from a female member of the Peacock family,
and there aren't any left.

| SCULLY: Case number 2139318537.
Subject is a black male, 19 years old, Cause and time of death unknown.
Note: total lack of pigment in
his skin, hair and eyes. The appearance of which suggests albinism,
though the bleaching of the
irises indicates a violent and unexplained
cellular reaction to a vector
or an environment. |
| SCULLY: I don’t know. There
are conditions like vitiligo which
attack melanocytes and prevent
the manufacture of melanin in the
skin. Autoimmune disorders which
are not yet clearly understood. |
MULDER: It contains
a cerebropathic glycoside.
Does that mean anything to you?
SCULLY: If I’m correct, it’s a cortical
depressant that works on the
higher centers of the
brain. |
MULDER: Does that tell you
anything about anything?
SCULLY: No, but .... I think I found something that could explain
the depigmentation in the
victim. His pituitary gland was
necrotized.
MULDER: His pituitary gland?
SCULLY: The pituitary gland secretes
all the regulatory hormones in
the body and it controls the production of melanin
in the skin cells. |
| SCULLY: It has to be here,
Mulder. There has to be some evidence of a virus
or bacterium. |
| MULDER: Scully, I think if
you looked up from the microscope
for a minute, you’d see that what’s really missing is a motive. |
SCULLY: The motive of any
pathogen is to reproduce itself.
And my job as a doctor is to find out if and how it is being transmitted.
MULDER: If this is a health crisis.
SCULLY: Death is a health crisis. Something caused Owen Sanders’ pituitary
to fail which in turn caused his metabolism
to drop resulting in myxedema
coma and finally in death. Sometimes
you have to start at the end to find the beginning. |
DOCTOR: From all outward
signs, this man appears asymptomatic.
I appreciate the connection you’ve tried to make, but I’m afraid it’s
a dead end.
SCULLY: With your permission, sir, I’d like to examine him some more.
I’d like to run a suppression test, to do a TSH
screen, take a history. |
SCULLY: Well, that’s only
part of it. I discovered something even more disturbing when his PET
series came back. Look right here on the sagittal
section, right below the
hypothalamus.
DOCTOR: There must be some mistake.
SCULLY: There’s no mistake. This patient has no pituitary
gland.

| The
Field Where I Died 4X05 |
Top |
SKINNER: Agent Scully, could
this be some kind of a stall or a staged diversion? It's my understanding
that multiple personalities
are rare.
SCULLY: They're extremely rare. In fact, many in the psychiatric
community do not believe that dissociative
identity disorder exists.
MULDER: What we witnessed meets the criteria established in the DSM.-IV.
The presence of two distinct personality states that would currently
take control over behavior, including the "protector" identity, Sidney.
The inability to recall important personal information. She couldn't
recall her own hometown. Transitions from one personality state to
another are usually a matter of seconds and are often caused by psychosocial
stress. Sidney appeared when we mentioned the children had been abused.
|
SCULLY: Who are you calling?
MULDER: I'm arranging for a therapist trained in hypnosis
to be at the command center.
SCULLY: Because hypnosis is used
in the treatment of dissociative
identities to bring forth a patient's various personalities?

| NURSE WAITE: I’m going to
give a tranquilizer now, and
then right before the operation the doctor will give you injections
of saline and anesthetic.
And all you have to worry about is buying a new wardrobe. |
NURSE WAITE: Your liposuction
patient is prepped and waiting in room five.
DR. LLOYD: Fine, what else am I scheduled for?
NURSE WAITE: You’ve got a scalp reduction, and a blepharoplasty
following. |
| SCULLY: The sleeping pill
he was taking was something called
Somanil. |
| NURSE WAITE: It’s a rhinoplasty.
I’m sorry, who are you? |
| SCULLY: Yeah, there’s magic
going on here, Mulder, only it’s being done with silicone,
collagen, and a well placed scalpel. |
| SCULLY: "An antispasmodic
whose active ingredients include belladonna
alkaloids –" |
| SCULLY: Massive blood loss
due to esophageal hemorrhaging
caused by the expulsion of hundreds of straight pins. |
| SCULLY: Well ... in med school
I saw some weird stuff. Uh, there’s a - a psychiatric
disorder called pica which is characterized
by the craving for non-food objects like clay, rocks, glue, but if
she swallowed ... |
| DR. KAPLAN: Gail, push my
otoplasty back half an hour |
DOCTOR: I’m going in to do
an exploratory laparotomy.

| Musings
of a Cigarette Smoking Man 4X07 |
Top |
FROHIKE: The mother, a cigarette
smoker, died of
lung cancer...
before her son uttered his first word. With no surviving family, he
became a ward of the state, sent to various orphanages in the Midwest.
Didn't make friends, spent all his time reading... alone... and then...
he appears to have vanished... until a year and a half after the Bay
of Pigs.

Hearts 4X08 |

MULDER: Just familiar. Have
you seen them before?
MRS. MULDER: Fox, I don't know what you want me to say. You know my
memory isn't as good as it used to be, ever since I had the stroke,
I just don't know...
MULDER: It's all right. |
MULDER: It's not her, Scully.
Am I right? Samantha broke her collarbone
when she was six. It was her left collarbone.
We had, we had a rope swing out in the backyard. It's not broken,
is it?
SCULLY: You're right, Mulder, it's not a match. It's not her.

PENDRELL: He can't be. I
mean he's not breathing.
SCULLY: No, I think he is. I think he's in some kind of coma
state or some kind of somatic rigor.

PENDRELL: I don’t know...It
looks like its concentrated around his pineal
body...I think its alive.
SCULLY: It looks like a nest....some type of black vermiform
organism attached to the pineal
gland. |
SKINNER:Dr. Bonita Charne-Sayre.
Are you familiar with that name?
SCULLY: Yes sir, I am...She’s a well-know physician....and a...a virologist
who’s looked in on presidents. She’s also an authority on...on variola
viruses. |
SCULLY: ...or about the biotoxin
being transported within that pouch.
|
| El
Mundo Gira 4X11 |
Top |
| MULDER: Fortean events have
been linked to alien encounters, cattle mutilations, the kind of exsanguinated
animal carcass you were just looking
at. |
| SCULLY: He didn’t kill her,
Mulder. I examined the body of Maria Dorantes, and I believe that
her cause of death was natural, albeit strange. She seems to have
succumb to a massive fungal infection. |
MULDER: A fungus?
SCULLY: Aspergillus, according
to the coroner. It’s a mold that's found in dead leaves, compost,
even household dust. |
| SCULLY: Well, aspergillus
can be lethal to people with immunodeficiencies
like AIDS patients and ah, transplant
recipients. And I found high levels of methyl
bromide in her blood workup. It’s a - a pesticide that’s used
for soil sterilization. Highly toxic. Now I think that her body was
so ravaged by pesticides that a normally benign
fungus may have compromised her
whole immune system. |
| SCULLY: Mulder, whatever
you hope to learn by finding this man we have to first make a definitive
classification of the fungi taken
from the victims. I need to isolate it and I need to get a sample
of it to a mycologist as quickly
as possible. |
STEEN: What you’re looking
at, Agent Scully, is the most ubiquitous fungal
spore known to mankind - dermatophytosis.
SCULLY: Athlete’s foot? |
| STEEN: It’s an enzyme
I isolated from both your specimens,
but that’s about all I can tell you. It’s unlike any enzyme
I’ve ever seen. |
| SCULLY: So it’s not the fungi,
but the enzyme that kills. |
| STEEN: Acting as a catalyst.
As an accelerant. Let me show
you. (gets petri dish) This is
pucchinia graminis. Black stain rust. It’s been the cause of a fairly
containable crop blight here in the Valley. |
MULDER: Responsible, how?
SCULLY: By spreading an enzyme produced
by what appears to be a new strain of conidial
fungi. |
MULDER: God curses the man
who stands between two brothers. Get on your cell phone and have a
haz-mat team assembled.

SCULLY: Sir, I'm afraid that
even without your consent, we can get a court order to exhume
Isaac's grave.
ARIAL: Do what you feel is necessary. But leave us alone. Let us mourn
in peace. |
SCULLY: The body wasn't embalmed
according to custom. Maybe it's postmortem
lividity or some sort of tattooing.
It's hard to tell with this stage of decomposition.
|
| Never
Again 4X13 |
Top |
| JERSE: Y-you see, stem
cells from the blood of an umbilical
cord may be transplanted in the treatment of many life threatening
diseases such as... |
SCULLY: You need to tell
that to the detectives. But what I’m also afraid of - - and this concerns
both of us - - is that an ergot alkaloid
was found in the blood which is why I think it may have been yours.
Now ergot is a parasite
that lives off of rye and related grasses. Svo said that he used rye
somehow in his ink. Now if this is true, we may be subject to hallucinogenic
ergotism. aural,
visual hallucinations.
Dangerous and unlikely behavior. We need to go to the hospital to
be tested.

| Leonard
Betts 4X14 |
Top |
LEONARD: Aspirated
his chest. He has a tension
pneumothorax pressing on his heart. It just looked like a cardiac.
MICHELLE: Nice catch. How did you know?
LEONARD: Because he’s dying of cancer.
It’s already eaten through one
lung. |
| MULDER: That would be one
Leonard Morris Betts, age 34. But it should probably be noted that
when Mr. Betts arrived here last night he was sans head. He was decapitated
when his ambulance crashed. He was an emergency
medical technician for this hospital – a very good one, apparently.
Slew of commendations, write-ups in the local paper. |
| SCULLY: All hospitals operate
some form of medical waste processing. This unit disposes of surgical
remains – amputations, excised
tumors. They’re ground up and heated
with microwaves and the result
is a uh, sterile soot that’s used
as road fill. |
| SCULLY: Case number 226897,
Leonard Betts. As remains are incomplete all observations refer to
a decapitated head. Weight:10.9
pounds. Remains show no signs of rigor
mortis or fixed lividity.
Nor do the
corneas appear clouded which would
seem inconsistent with the witnessed time of death now … (checks wall
clock) 19 hours ago. I’ll begin with the intermastoid
incision and frontal craniotomy
then make my examination of the
brain. |
| SCULLY: Well. Because I,
uh … I experienced an unusual degree of postmortem
galvanic response. |
| MICHELLE: Leonard could do
that. Especially with cancer. I
always told him he should have been an oncologist
or something. He used to volunteer at the cancer
ward – read to patients, stuff like that. |
SCULLY: (looking at monitor)
Oh, my God. His entire
brain looks like one giant glioma.
MULDER: He had cancer?
SCULLY: He was riddled with it – I mean every - every cell
in this sample. Every cell, essentially, in his entire head and in
his
brain was … was all cancerous.
It’s completely pervasive.
MULDER: Could you live in this condition?
PATHOLOGIST: Live? This man would have been long dead before reaching
such an extreme metastatic state. |
| SCULLY: I found a spent autoinjector
in the grass. She was given a lethal dose of potassium
chloride. It’s an electrolyte
found naturally in the body and a coroner
doesn’t usually check for it. |
| MULDER: The fluid that I
found in Betts' bathtub was povidone iodine.
It's often used by lab researchers on reptiles and amphibians to aid
regeneration. We both know salamanders
have grown entirely new limbs - regenerated. |
| SCULLY: Oh, my God. Myeloid
Sarcoma, Epithelial
Carcinoma – these are all cancerous
tumors. This is surgical
waste that’s been tagged for disposal. What do you think he wanted
with them? |
| SCULLY: Mulder, these men
may be no more than monozygotic
twins. |
SCULLY: Mulder,
get the EMTs up here.
MULDER: You guys get in here.
SCULLY: She has an open wound, a
surgical cut. |
| SCULLY: Mulder, it's me.
We've got Mrs. Tanner going into the ER, but she took a downturn en
route. They defibrillated
her to try and get her to try and get her
heart back, but there's no chance
of getting anything cogent from her. Not tonight, anyway. What about
on your end? |
MULDER: Yeah. It’s, uh, metastatic
rhabdomyosarcoma, to be
precise. She was treated for it previously but got a clean bill of
health about three months ago.

| MULDER: (in passing to nurse)
Oncology? Thanks. |
| SCULLY: It's what's called
nasopharyngeal mass.
It's a small growth between the superior
conchae and the sphenoidal
sinus. |
| SCULLY: I know that the chemotherapy
is going to make me sick. |
| BYERS: Normal DNA
is inactive in it's helical form.
When it's unwound or branched like this one that's when it's active,
when it can mutate. |
KURT HYBRID: Human ova.
MULDER: Taken from whom? (Kurt points to drawer with Scully's name
on it)
MULDER: What? (opens drawer to reveal vials)
KURT HYBRID: During her abduction, high amplification radiation procedure
which caused super ovulation.
MULDER: Why?
KURT HYBRID: For fertilization.
They constitute one half of the necessary raw materials.
MULDER: For genetic hybridization,
or reproduction. These women, these women are your birth mothers.

| SCULLY: Mulder, what she
has is a simple subconjunctival
hemorrhage. It's probably brought
on by her emotional state. |
DR. KEYSER: Two
bicuspids and a
molar.
MULDER: This was all that was left of Teager at the crash site? |
SCULLY: Mulder, I'm at a
Georgetown medical center.
MULDER: Did you find out what caused her
eye to hemorrhage?
SCULLY: No, but the opthamologist discovered something. Something
called a transient scotoma.
MULDER: Scotoma?
SCULLY: A floating blind spot.
MULDER: Well, what would cause that?
SCULLY: Well, any number of diseases can scar
the retina. Diabetes,
glaucoma, macular
degeneration. In turn, they, they create a visual
field deficit.

MULDER: Have you ever seen
a body in such an advanced hypothermic
state?
SCULLY: Hypothermic? Mulder,
this man's an icicle. Did you see this? His
ear. It looks like something's been
inserted in it.
AUTOPSY DOCTOR: Something has. I took his temperature. I don't know
if the reading was accurate, but the thermometer
said his body temp was 15 degrees Farenheit. |
MULDER: So what's your medical
opinion, Scully?
SCULLY: Well, my best guess would be that he's been exposed to some
kind of chemical refrigerant, like liquid nitrogen,
possibly even ingested it. |
MULDER: And what research
would this grant have funded?
JASON: Cryobiology. I study
the effects of freezing temperatures on biological systems. |
OLD MAN: Your
contribution to my work. Vitrification.
You were the one who solved the problem.
DR. YONECHI: Me? No, not yet. No one has solved vitrification.
OLD MAN: Oh, yes, Yonni. You found a way to substitute water with
a sugar - trehalose. Your paper
... it changed everything. |
LISA: It's a kind of catalyst.
SCULLY: A catalyst for what?
LISA: A self-sustaining endothermic
reaction. It's a rapid freezing agent - something Jason's been engineering
for years. See, when a cell freezes,
its moisture forms into ice crystals, which literally grind up the
cell from the inside out. But extreme rapid freezing causes a smoother,
glass-like structure to form instead. So the cell can survive being
thawed. At least, according to Jason's theory. |
| DOCTOR: Give him another
amp of intracardial epi
and
atropine, 1 milligram. Try again
at 360. Clear? |
| LISA: Dr. Yonechi, you're
in a prototype frostbite bay
in Cambridge, Mass. You've been unconscious for almost 12 hours. Dr.
Yonechi? My name is Lisa Ianelli. |
MULDER: Scully, look at his
temperature.
SCULLY: Oh my God. He's on fire. He's having febrile
seizures.

MULDER: Children born with
vestigial tails don't interest
you?
SCULLY: Caudal appendages. Fetuses
have them. Their coccyx enlargens
to contain the spinal fluid and
then it shrinks as the child develops. Occasionally, it doesn't. It's
extremely rare, but it has been known to happen. |
| HEALTH DEPARTMENT DOCTOR:
Here are the PCR's we ran of the five
children. We put calls in to the parents. We'll blood test all the
husbands hopefully by this afternoon, just to double check. |
| MULDER: And four of the five
women, the four married women, not including Amanda Nelligan, were
on record as receiving insemination
therapy as a means of conception.
|
| MULDER: Why was it necessary
to inseminate in these cases?
|
| DR ALTON: It was a sperm
motility issue. The intrauterine
process that I used has about a 40% chance of success. I was surprised,
it seemed to work all four times. Now the only thing I can think of
is... maybe it never worked at all. |
SCULLY: On, uh, on behalf
of all the women in the world, I seriously doubt this is anything
to do with consensual sex. I think it involved some form of
Rohypnol rape.
MULDER: A tranquilizer? I
didn't think of that. |
| EDDIE AS EDDIE SR: Mr Mulder,
that boy was born sickly. We used to have this condition down in the
south called pellagra... |
MULDER: What's the other
thing?
SCULLY: That would be this. It's striated
muscle tissue. |
| SCULLY: Everywhere. His entire
body. As far as I can tell, this man has a thin stratum
of voluntary muscle tissue
underpinning the entire dermal layer
of his skin. That's not normal. This man's body is quite a scientific
specimen, and thankfully it's
preserved and intact. |
SCULLY: More autopsy
data. You know, everyone at the lab found Mr Van Blundht pretty fascinating.
We discovered an additional anomaly
related to the hair follicles
in his scalp. I can't even begin to guess at the nature of it until
we can run it through the transmission electron
microscope.

SKINNER: Has something happened
that I should know about?
MULDER: She's undergoing some imaging tests. Her, uh, her oncologist
was concerned about some microscopy results that, uh, her tumor
may be metastasizing. Anyway,
I, I'd like you to take a look at those photos, please. |
| MULDER: I had them run a
test. The blood sample in the police forensics lab is B-positive,
as is the postal worker's, but she suffered from a mild form of anemia
characterized by a folic acid
deficiency. The blood sample at the police forensics lab has a normal
folate serum level. |
SKINNER: Smallpox?
MULDER: According to the coroner,
an especially virulent strain
caused by a mutated variola
virus. |
MULDER: I can only guess.
But I think that somebody is trying to engineer a method of delivery
... for a disease that has killed more people throughout history than
any other contagion known to
humankind.

| DET. HUDAK: There were no
dying words. Penny Timmons
larynx was severed. She couldn't
cry for help even if there was help to cry for. |
| SCULLY: Harold Spuller suffers
from pervasive developmental
disorder, which is sometimes called atypical autism.
He's spent his entire life in and out of facilities just like this
one. He has been medicated, he has received shock therapy and, aside
from his other disabilites, he has been diagnosed with severe ego
dystonic obsessive-compulsive
disorder ... which would explain the switching of the victims rings. |
| SCULLY: Several months ago,
I was diagnosed with a cancerous
mass - a nasopharyngeal
tumor that can not be operated on
and, uh, cannot be treated by conventional medicine. |
MULDER: Angie Pintero, the
bowling alley guy? He's dead.
SCULLY: How?
MULDER: Natural causes. Congestive
heart failure. Just keeled over right in the bowling alley. |
| SCULLY: She had been taking
Harold's meds ...
clonazepam and
clozapine ... the unregulated
effects of which are violence and unpredictable behaviour. |
SCULLY: What happened?
MULDER: Well, preliminary diagnosis is apnea
- respiratory failure.

| SCULLY: Mulder, I need to
get you to a hospital. You have to be examined by a neurologist.
You have had a serious cerebral
event. It could be a viral infection,
or possibly the early stages of encephalitis. |
MULDER: What do you think
it was?
SCULLY: It was some kind of a seizure.
Some kind of acute physiological disturbance. I couldn't tell if you
lost consciousness but, it
was definitely some kind of clonic
event. Kind of an electrical storm in the brain. |
ME: What are you looking
for?
SCULLY: I'm not sure. Do you have a magnifying glass? Thanks. I just
want to make sure that in addition to the autopsy,
you also do a craniotomy and
a histological examination. |
MULDER:
Ketamine? That's a veterinary
drug, isn't it?

| SCULLY: What I couldn't tell
Agent Mulder, what I had only learned myself, was that the cancer
which had been diagnosed in me several months earlier had metastasized.
And the doctors told me, short of a miracle, it would continue to
aggressively invade my body, advancing faster each day toward the
inevitable. |
LAB TECH: Some cellular
material within the matrix...
SCULLY: Plant or animal?
LAB TECH: I don't know. It's what I'd have to classify as a chimera.
A hybrid cell.
