Quotes 

• Scully : Truth is not found in science, or on some unseen plane, but by looking into your own heart.

• [last lines] 

  Scully : I hold no hope you can respond to this. Or that it reaches you. I only hope that you are alive. I cannot help believing that you jumped off that train because you knew what I now know - that these super soldiers, if that's what they are, can in fact be destroyed. That the key to their destruction lies in the iron compound at that quarry. I am scared for you, Mulder. And for William. The forces against us are unrelenting. But so is my determination. To see you again. To regain the comfort and safety we shared for so brief a time. Until then, I remain forever yours - Dana.

• [first lines] 

  Scully : One day, you'll ask me to speak of a truth - of the miracle of your birth. To explain what is unexplained. And if I falter or fail on this day, know there is an answer, my child, a sacred imperishable truth, but one you may never hope to find alone. Chance meeting your perfect other, your perfect opposite - your protector and endangerer. Chance embarking with this other on the greatest of journeys - a search for truths fugitive and imponderable. If one day this chance may befall you, my son, do not fail or falter to seize it. The truths are out there. And if one day you should behold a miracle, as I have in you, you will learn the truth is not found in science, or on some unseen plane, but by looking into your own heart. And in that moment you will be blessed - and stricken. For the truest truths, are what hold us together, or keep us painfully, desperately apart.

• Scully : [voice-over of Mulder's email]  I've resisted contacting you for reasons I know you continue to appreciate. But, to be honest, some unexpected dimensions of my new life are eating away at any resolve I have left. I'm lonely, Dana, uncertain of my ability to live like this. I want to come home. To you, and to William.

  Patti : [a woman enters the cafe pushing another stroller. She stops at the counter to attend her baby]  Sshh, sshh.

  Scully : [voice-over, typing a reply to Mulder]  I am physically shaking right now seeing your words. Wishing it were you speaking them to me. I want so badly to see you too, but you are still not safe here.

• John Doggett : Can we talk to you a second?

  Monica Reyes : It's about agent Mulder.

  Scully : What about Mulder?

  John Doggett : We got a guy contacting us through intelligence channels. He keeps saying he wants to talk to Fox Mulder, only he won't say why.

  Scully : Well, who is he?

  Monica Reyes : We don't know. He always covers his tracks. But this morning we finally got him to tip his hand. He says he has highly classified military files.

  Scully : Files on what?

  John Doggett : These bio-engineered soldiers we've all come in contact with. So-called supersoldiers. The same ones threatening Mulder's life, forcing him to live underground.

  Scully : What does he want with Mulder?

  John Doggett : He wants to give him the names of these supersoldiers, and Mulder's the only person he'll give them to.

  Scully : Well, even if this was a good idea I don't know how to contact him.

  [to the class] 

  Scully : I'm sorry about that. I believe that last class we were covering petechia and evidence of death by...

  John Doggett : [stands behind her interrupting]  Agent Scully.

  [Scully and Doggett step outside the lab] 

  John Doggett : What the hell are you doing?

  Scully : I'm trying to teach a class.

  John Doggett : You understand what we're being offered here? If we know who these supersoldiers are we can go after them. This is somebody giving us a way that can make it safe for Mulder to come home.

  Scully : That's the operative word here: someboy. Somebody that we don't know.

  John Doggett : And you don't want to check it out.

  Scully : What I don't want is Agent Mulder's life to be endangered any more than it already is.

  John Doggett : How long are you going to do this?

  Scully : Do what, agent Doggett?

  John Doggett : Refuse to trust me. Or anybody. How else are you going to get him home?
