The Bible says God appeared to Moses in a burning bush.

He came to Jesus on a mountaintop.

For Buddha, God came while he sat under a tree.

God came to me in a vision in the desert,

February 26, 1991.

My recon squad had engaged Saddam's army

in a small Bedouin encampment.

We'd been ambushed, taken all by surprise,

and there were casualties.

I can't feel my legs!

You're going to be okay, don't worry.

I can't feel my legs!

Damn it, get on the radio! We need some help here!

Zulu Six Two, we are under attack.

Repeat: we are under attack.

We are taking heavy machine-gun fire.

We were holding our perimeter, and we might've held up,

but on this day, I had a terrible sense of foreboding.

I saw the future of those brave men,

and they were about to die.

Death came to take my men...

but not me.

I was left as a witness to a vision.

Angels from heaven.

Behold, a whirlwind came out of the north,

and a brightness was about it.

And out of the midst came the likeness

of four living creatures,

and they had the likeness of a man.

I knew why my life had been spared...

that I was to deliver the message of these angels,

of these sons of God.

To deliver the message of the God

who came before all other gods.

Previously on The X Files...

A man crossed over the U.S./Canadian border last night.

He's one of ours.

He was infiltrating a religious group.

Some kind of whacked-out UFO cult.

Led by a former military officer...

a very dangerous man.

I'll kill you if you touch my baby!

The boy has some connection with this thing...

this piece of metal.

So does this cult who are

more than willing to kill for their belief.

I need to know that you're taking him to a safe place.

At 7:00 this evening, in a Washington D.C. alley,

a vehicle carrying the son of Agent Dana Scully

was forced to a violent stop by a female shooter

who proceeded to kidnap the child at gunpoint.

The van was being driven by three men

asked by Agent Scully to protect the child.

The three men are currently working to I.D. the assailant.

John Doggett was seriously injured

by the same female shooter as he tried to halt her vehicle.

Agent Doggett remains in a coma under close watch

at St. Mary's Hospital.

This kidnapping follows on the heels of a failed attack

on Scully's child by another FBI agent, Robert Comer.

He remains in critical condition,

also at St. Mary's.

Now, this man's motives

and the motives of the female kidnapper

are still unknown.

Let me emphasize that the FBI has no reason to believe

that it cannot effect the safe return of Agent Scully's child.

Agent Scully.

What are you doing?

I thought I told you you didn't need to be here.

I just had to see this for myself.

Go home.

To what?

I'm just saying, you don't need

to put yourself through this, Dana.

We've got every stop pulled,

every available agent working to find your son.

And A.D. Brad Follmer leading the charge.

Deputy Director Kersh asked him to take the lead.

He knows how to run a task force.

I think you see that in there.

I see a man who withholds information for Kersh.

A man who not once but twice

failed to prevent an attack on my son.

You see a task force in there.

I see a whitewash.

I know you're upset,

but you can't possibly accuse Follmer or Kersh

of having any part in this.

What is it going to take for you?

How many people have to be taken out

for you to open your eyes to it?

My son.

Agent Doggett.

Mulder.

Kersh protected you

by not telling you reports of Mulder's death...

as did Follmer, as did I.

You call it protection.

I call it a systematic effort inside the FBI

to eliminate us.

You accuse anyone of anything in the FBI,

you have to accuse me along with them.

Scully, where are you going?

To find my son.

Hi.

Hi.

His hands are so cold.

Have you talked to the doctors yet?

They say the good news is

that there's no swelling of the brain,

but they were very frank that he could just never wake up.

I wonder if he can hear us.

There'd be soldiers in Vietnam...

bodies turned inside out...

I'd hold their hands just like you're doing.

Tell them it was going to be okay.

Do you think it helped?

Talking to them?

I always thought it was like...

like praying.

Even if they can't hear,

maybe... God can.

Hello.

How's he doing?

No change.

I need to see you right away, Monica.

Are you alone right now?

Skinner's here with me.

I'd prefer if Skinner didn't know.

We found her.

Who?

The woman that took William.

She's a wanted felon and a part of the UFO cult

that the FBI was investigating.

I need anything that you can find on her, Monica,

but I need you to get it quietly.

Access denied? Yeah, we'll see about that.

If they I.D.'d the woman,

then why isn't the FBI investigating it?

I asked them not to tell the FBI.

What are you doing, Dana?

I'm trying to get my son back.

We're locked on.

Like there was ever a doubt.

Which brings us that much closer to finding William.

Langly's inside the system.

I'm hacked inside the phone company.

Going to use their mainframe

to scan the map for a locator signal.

Before William was kidnapped, Byers was able

to tuck a cell phone under the padding of the baby's car seat.

Call the phone, and Langly

can use the signal to find its location.

Find the phone, find the baby.

You mean, assuming the kidnapper hasn't found the phone.

We'll keep trying.

This is madness, and you know it.

They failed you once with your child.

They're going to fail you again.

Then I'll find him myself.

You can't do this alone.

Look, what alternative do I have

when the FBI is all but telling me

they think that my son is already dead?

We've got a signal in Warfordsburg, Pennsylvania,

off the interstate.

You coming with me?

Or am I going alone?

Have you got him?

Yes. He's safe. We're here.

We need to go carefully now.

I want you to stay where you are.

I'm sending someone to get you, all right?

Yes.

It's moving.

It's moving!

Can you hear me?!

We need some tools.

Go get some tools!

Come on, move it!

Federal agent!

John Doggett... where is he?

He's not in his bed.

They've taken him down to radiology

to run a CAT scan.

Would you like me to call down to his doctor?

No. No, I was just worried.

I'm sorry.

What?

Nothing.

I've known you a long time,

and this just seems, uh...

a little traditional for you.

Maybe when you're lost,

you knock at the door with the porch light on.

Hey, hey.

I want you to know, I'm doing all I can

to find the woman who did this.

Even though we got people inside the FBI

working against us.

It was foolish going after her by yourselves.

We could have been there long before you, Monica.

Could have even captured the suspect.

Instead, she got away.

This is complicated, Brad.

If you came in here to bust me...

No. No.

I came here to ask for your cooperation.

Not sharing information

creates an atmosphere of distrust,

and then I'm less apt to share my information with you.

What haven't you shared with me?

This FBI agent who tried to kill Scully's baby

has come around.

He's got something he wants to tell us.

What?

I need your cooperation.

You said he tried to tell you something.

How is that possible?

He didn't tell me exactly.

He wrote it down.

I don't know what this means.

I don't know, either.

But it means something.

And I want to know what.

Just tell me where you got this.

You know what it means?

Robert Comer wrote this, didn't he?

The FBI agent

who tried to kill my son... and how did you get it?

I got it under the condition

that I share what I learn from you.

Take it.

What is it? What does it mean?

If I don't tell you,

you're good on your word, right?

That means that you've learned absolutely nothing from me.

Where are you going?

To the hospital.

Hey, it doesn't work that way.

Look, this began

when the agent lying in that hospital

crashed his motorcycle running the border from Canada.

Somehow, he got to Washington without a scratch

and he tried to kill my son.

Now, tell me, how did he do that, Monica?

With something

I found in his jacket pocket,

in a jacket that he wore to my house that I put three shots in.

The artifact...

piece of the ship.

- Let go. - My God.

Let go of my hand.

Turn off the monitors, or they're going to alert somebody.

Now, tell me who sent you to kill my son,

or I will take that pillow from under your head

and make them the last breaths that you take.

Your son has to die.

I'm not what you think.

Please.

Please.

The FBI sent me undercover

on a man named Josepho to get inside his cult,

whose followers believe an alien race will rule the world.

One day, God told Josepho to lead us a thousand miles north

to find a ship buried in the ground.

You have a piece of that ship in your hand.

Josepho believes

that that ship is a temple

which houses the physical manifestation of God.

Are you saying that God asked you to kill my child?

No.

Josepho said God spoke to him of a miracle child...

a future savior coveted by forces of good and evil.

Josepho believes your son is this child.

Then why does he want to kill him?

He doesn't. He wants to protect him.

Josepho believes your son will follow

in his father's paths and try to stop the aliens' return.

Unless his father

was to be killed.

That is the prophecy.

You came here to kill her son

against this man and his cult?

To stop them?

Are you saying you believe this prophecy but acted alone?

What he's saying is that Mulder is dead.

That that's true.

That they killed him to fulfill this prophecy.

And that your son must die, too.

Or everyone...

all of mankind will perish from Earth.

Please.

Please.

Let me. Please.

- No. - Please.

What is going on here?

What are you doing in here?

They turned off all the monitors.

They removed his intubation.

What are you doing in here?

This patient does not need support.

He's breathing on his own.

Step outside.

Both of you.

Let's go.

Get me A.D.s Follmer and Skinner.

It's not working.

You weren't followed?

No.

He's safe now.

He's safe with us.

Where are Scully and Reyes?

They were told to wait out here.

Assistant Director...

we need Scully and Reyes. Now.

What are we going to tell them?

Who?

The FBI about Agent Comer.

About what just happened, about how he was healed.

Just tell them the truth.

They're not on our side.

They will use the truth against us.

Dana, you don't believe what you heard in there.

You don't believe what that man was telling you.

How can you doubt him?

I mean, after everything that you've just witnessed,

after what you saw with my son.

I mean, it's-it's exactly what I feared.

That there's something terribly wrong...

from the very moment that he was conceived.

Your child was a miracle, Dana.

I don't doubt that the things I've witnessed

are any less miraculous.

But your son is not an abomination,

a thing that should cease to exist.

You tell me on that ship is written scripture

from the world's great religions.

Tell me a religion that decrees the death of a child.

Not just your child but any child.

This is a man saying these things to us.

How many religions warn of false prophets?

Men sent to deceive us?

The only thing that I believe

is that your son may still be alive,

and we can find him and save him.

And with that object in that room,

we can save Agent Doggett, too.

You two better get out here.

Agent Comer's dead.

What?

This man was alive.

You saw him.

He was alive.

Somebody was in here.

Where did it go?

Where did what go?

This man had something in his hand:

a small piece of metal.

It's what revived him.

I-It's why he could be taken off life support.

A piece of metal?

I don't know what she's talking about.

Who else came into this room?

Why are you questioning me?

Did you leave the room?

Agent Reyes.

This woman came in here, and this man was alive.

He was more than alive.

He'd been healed.

He'd been brought back to life.

This man was murdered, but it wasn't by us.

Agent Reyes.

Who else was in here?

You were in here.

I came in and found you.

Were you alone in here?

Was he alone in here?

She went to get the doctors.

Search this man.

For what?

Monica!

Scully saw it.

Ask Agent Scully.

Agent Scully...

Where's Scully?

Agent Scully?

I never meant for this.

All that's been lost.

I never meant to put you at risk...

to risk losing you, too.

She's fighting for you.

Monica's out there trying to find a way.

And she's not going to let you go.

Agent Scully.

Agent Doggett. Oh...

I heard someone talking.

Yeah, that was me. That was me talking to you.

No, it wasn't you.

They're going to come to you, but you can't trust them.

Do you understand that?

Scully.

Oh, my God.

Scully.

Listen carefully, Agent Scully.

You want to see your son?

You come alone,

and you follow my instructions to the letter.

Sorry to keep you waiting,

but I had to make sure you were alone.

I only wish to protect the boy

from those who'd harm him.

He's a very special boy.

I came here to take him back.

"Behold, a whirlwind came out of the north,

"and a brightness was about it.

"And out of the midst

"came the likeness of four living creatures.

And they had the likeness of a man."

That's the Bible. Did you know it?

Ephesians.

The Bible...

describing giants who walk the Earth.

Who'd believe it?

Only the faithful and we who have seen them.

These super soldiers.

The true sons of God.

I want to see my son.

You struggle to believe.

It's so incredible,

but your son will lead this alien race.

He was put here to lead.

I'll bring you to him, to see your son.

After you do something for me.

After you bring something I need.

Confirmation that Mulder's dead.

You killed Mulder.

No.

I believed he was dead...

but now I have reason to doubt that.

And if he's alive,

he's the one thing preventing your son's true destiny.

You told me I could see my son.

You lied.

If you want to see the boy...

you'll bring me the head of Fox Mulder.

Get ready.

Hold on.

His car is wired.

Here we go.

They say he's about a mile ahead, turning off the highway.

What about these hills?

Are we going to lose him in these hills?

Yeah, yeah.

How are we in terrain?

That transponder will track this guy

driving underwater to Brazil.

Langly.

What just happened?

We're coming to a turn. Is this it?

Uh... yeah.

Turn.

I think they lost the signal.

Well, they have to get it back.

Oh, piece of crap!

Hey, louder, why don't you.

Tell them we're working on it.

Here, you be the messenger.

What is it?

What's happening?

The baby started crying,

and it just came to life.

Hey, guys, we lost him.

And we just ran out of road out here.

William?

William!

William!

No.

Oh, my God.

Dana.

Oh, my...

William?

I came to give you a ride home.

They told me you were in here.

Yeah.

I came in here and prayed for you.

Yeah, I know.

This voice in my head, it...

was talking to me,

telling me to get up,

telling me to warn Scully about this man.

I mean...

was it you talking to me?

I only prayed for your life.

Deputy Director?

Mr. Follmer.

Sir, it's, um...

it's about that report you have there.

The investigation

of Special Agent Robert Comer's death.

Yes?

As you know, A.D. Skinner refused to sign it,

believing that Agent Comer was murdered in his hospital bed.

But you did sign it, isn't that right, Mr. Follmer?

Finding nothing to support

that allegation.

Well, that's just it, sir.

I did find something.

The monitors in Agent Comer's room...

they recorded his condition moment by moment,

showing that his vital signs

did improve just before his equipment was unplugged.

They did, in fact...

return back to normal.

And you have an explanation for that, yes?

No, sir, I don't.

And you want what?

I just want to take my name off it.

Maybe if you weren't so busy backpedaling, Mr. Follmer,

you might get me an explanation.

Excuse me.

I'm sure you heard all of that.

Congratulations... it would appear now

that everything is dead but this case.

I'm sure I can take care of that, Deputy Director.

Quite sure.

I made this!
