"Ashes to ashes... dust to dust."

We are hereto deliver the body
of Fox Mulder to its resting place.

We pray to God to deliver his soul

and to resolve the deep mysteries
Fox Mulder sought so tirelessly to uncover.

Let us pray now... for his eternal peace.

"'I am the resurrection
and the life' saith the Lord."

'"He that believeth in me,
though he were dead, yet shall he live,

and whosoever liveth and
believeth in me... shall never die."'

He was the last.

His father and mother...

his sister...

all gone.

I think the real tragedy...

is that for all of his pain and searching...

the truth that he worked so hard to find
was never truly revealed to him.

I can't truly believe
that I'm really standing here.

I know.

I don't truly believe that...

Mulder's the last.

Smile, John. You look tense.

I've asked you here to commend you.

- What's this?
- A letter to the director.

Citing your meritorious efforts
in the recovery of Agent Fox Mulder.

And a recommendation that you
be considered for advancement.

The AD here deserves more credit than I...

Deputy Director Kersh spoke to me
at length before you came up.

He thanked me and asked me
to write you a letter too.

I'm officially transferring you off the X-Files
to a division more suited to your talents.

Man of my word, Agent Doggett.

Thank you for your support, sir.

But all things being equal I, uh...

I'd like to give any transfer some thought.

Fish while they're bitin’. John.

Hey, good mornin', Agent Scully.
How're you feelin' today?

I'm fine. How are you feeling?

Me? Good.

But then I don't got
a little J Edgar to lug around.

AD Skinner just called. He told me
about your meeting with Kersh.

Whatever he told you, I'll still be here to drive
you crazy with questions and nagging doubt.

You'd be crazy to stay, Agent Doggett.

This is a huge career opportunity for you.

It's not my career he's got in mind.

What do you mean?

In six weeks you go on maternity leave.

Kersh transfers me out, guess what.
He gets to lock that door over there for good.

You don't owe me anything, Agent Doggett.

They put me down here to find Mulder.
I found him. So what?

We still got an open file on this case,
and I got big questions.

What?

I heard the same speech come out
of my mouth seven years ago.

Get out while you can, Agent Doggett,
or you may never get out at all.

All stop! All stop!

In the net! Get the light!

Down there! Further out!

Get the Coast Guard on the radio!
Tell 'em to send a chopper out!

Doesn't look like there's
any big reason to hurry.

So what's the deal here?

Body was found at sea.
DA wants to know how it got there.

Two in the morning. I've once to see a DA
here in his jammies waitin' for an answer.

I see a surgical cut or scar on the sternum,
linear-pattern scarring on each facial cheek.

But for a certain enviable postmortem
intumescence, this man is unremarkable.

Short of this body tellin' us what happened
I'd say we got a long night ahead.

Doctor...

it moved.

- Joke's on me, right?
- His mouth, his lips...

they moved.

Yeah, well, maybe he's tryin' to tell...

- Yeah?
- It's Skinner.

- Meet me at the Bureau in 20 minutes.
- For what?

I got a call from the police pathologist
in Wilmington.

Fishermen pulled in a dead body 50 miles
offshore which they've ID'd as Billy Miles.

- Billy Miles?
- Kid from Oregon.

He was abducted same time
Mulder was last May.

So what's the big hurry now?

Now he's alive.

You told Agent Scully
any of what you told me?

- No.
- My strong recommendation, sir: don't.

This pans out or not, you're gonna reopen
wounds that still need a lot of healin'.

Not to mention the fact that she's had
a difficult pregnancy. You know that.

I appreciate your concern, Agent Doggett,
but I wouldn't have told her anyway.

Certainly not where we're going.

Where are we goin'?

We're openin' up more than a grave here.

I respect that, but I think not digging it up
would be more regrettable, don't you?

- No. I think this is insanity.
- Personally, I couldn't live with the doubt.

That what? That we buried a man alive?

We found Mulder, you and me together.
We saw the same body.

Mulder wasn't just dead, he'd been dead
for days. Had to have a closed casket.

The body was too far gone,
and that was three months ago.

The kid they pulled from the ocean -

from the extensive tissue necrosis
he could've been in the water for months.

Heart beat, rate of metabolism -
it slowed to imperceptibility.

The body had rigored.
For all intents and purposes, he was dead.

- It's a fluke that the doctor even noticed.
- I don't believe it.

And I don't believe I'm even standin' here.

What the hell is this?

- Assistant Director Skinner?
- Yes.

- Arthur Gaffin, County Coroner.
- I asked you to keep this low-key.

Word spreads.
Exhumation's big news any day,

and you have the body moved
to another county to a specific pathologist.

Well, that takes people and paperwork.

I want these people out of here.

All right, listen up. As much
as you're here to see the horror show,

I'm not lettin' that casket open up until we get
some privacy. It's a private matter. Thank you.

Agent Skinner, so no one's confused,
this is a completely different scenario.

I'm only here cos you asked for me.

I don't expect to find anything
in the box but a dead man.

It's not gonna be Curse of the Mummy. OK?

I'll say it again - insanity.

- Is it true?
- Slow down.

- No. I wanna see him.
- I know you do...

- No, I need to see him, dammit!
- You're not going in there.

Scully, you can't.

Tell me it's true.

Tell me.

It's so improbable... and I would
have said impossible before this.

The clinical fact he's alive when,
effectively, this man, his tissue,

and I presume his neural and vascular
systems, are all in a state of decomposition.

- What does that mean?
- That effectively... he's dead.

What are they saying?

I need to see him.

I know.

But I wish you wouldn't.

- You wanted to see me, sir?
- Yes. John. Please come in.

I've been in this office just over six months,
and I haven't yet had to see a sunrise from it.

I believe the sunrise isn't for
another hour and six minutes, sir.

It serves a man
to have useful information, John.

One never knows when he might find himself
having to survive on his wits alone.

Yes, sir.

I know you look forward
to a future at the FBI, John.

You take your job seriously.

I hope you took my job offer seriously too.

As I said, I'm thinkin' about it.

I got a call about this... Mulder thing.

I want you to drop it.

- Drop it?
- You know the tune.

"If it looks bad, it's bad for the FBI."

I'm throwin' you a rope.

Don't go and hang yourself with it now.

- What are you doing?
- Nothing.

I was looking in on the patient
and he started to go into grand mal seizure.

I think he's all right now. Um...

It's OK. I'm, uh... Sorry.
I'm a... I'm a doctor.

- My name is Scully, and I'm with the FBI.
- You're here to treat him?

No. No. I, uh...

The man down the hall was my...
is my partner, and we knew Billy.

And I guess I was just hoping...

that there might be some indication
that he was getting better... somehow.

Anyway...

Um...

you might wanna tell the doctor about this.
And, uh... and check those monitors carefully.

Are you all right, sir?

I'm OK.

I'm OK. I'm OK, thank you.

All aboard.

I don't know how you got in
this building, Krycek.

but whatever it is you want...

you can go to hell.

What do you want from me?

Let's take a ride.

The word on the street
is he's back from the dead.

- He's a regular Houdini.
- Tell me what you want.

What I want is to give you
the chance to save Mulder's life.

- You don't believe me?
- No, I don't.

I can push a button and send
the thousands of nanobots

lying dormant in your bloodstream
sizzling to your brainstem,

and all I wanna do with
that power is save a man's life.

I don't think his life can be saved.

I have a vial that contains a vaccine.
Mulder knows of it.

His father developed it
to fight the alien virus.

There's no vaccine can help
the man I found in that grave.

You found him, and you don't
even know what you got.

It's a push of a button, Walter.

You can't do this to yourself.

You asked me not to
come in here, Agent Doggett.

I hope you're not asking me to leave.

My concern is for
your wellbeing, Agent Scully.

That's all it's ever for.

I felt this was a bad idea from the start.
I told the assistant director so.

worrying about the effect
it might have on you.

You mean, finding Mulder alive?

I know you came in here with the doctors.

You must have asked them
what his chances are.

Agent Doggett...

However I felt about you when we first met,

you changed my opinion with the quality
of your character and of your work.

Now, I am thankful to know you,
and I am thankful for your concern.

But no matter what Mulder's chances are,

the choice not to open up
that grave was wrong.

And not because of me personally,
but as my partner on the X-Files.

Now, the truth may hurt,
but it's all that matters.

- What truth?
- About what caused this.

You've gotta come quickly. It's Billy Miles.

I don't really remember
all that much of anything.

Do you have any idea
what you're doing here, Billy?

Do you have any conscious memory at all?

I remember water.

- And I remember being on the ship.
- You were found by a fishing boat.

That's not what you mean. Is it, Billy?

You mean a spacecraft.

They took so many this time.

But now I understand.

They're here to save us.

Well, that's great news.

I'm gonna let you two talk.

Agent Doggett, where are you going?

Back to the real world. Why?

You just won't believe it, will you?
Not even for a minute.

Not even with it staring you in the face.

Is that so important to you?
What I believe or don't believe?

I'm really not up to this assignment
anyway, as you so gently put it.

Agent Doggett, you spoke with his doctors.
He was lying on his deathbed.

I'm with you, Agent Scully.
It's a medical mystery, for sure.

But don't ask me to take
a load of horse crap for the gospel truth.

I underestimated you, Agent Doggett.

I thought this was just simple resistance
to extreme possibilities.

- When, in fact, you're just bull-headed.
- Do you believe it, Agent Scully?

I mean that stuff he said about
aliens coming to save the world.

- Hi
- Hi

Nobody called me, about Billy.

I know. I'm sorry.

- What, this is incredible.
- It's too incredible.

Sir, there isn't a piece of medical data
on him that isn't 100 per cent normal.

Why are you questioning that, when it could
mean the doctors are wrong about Mulder?

Because it doesn't make sense.

I mean, there should be blood, fluid,
electrolyte imbalances, loss of brain function.

But as it is, it's like he shed his skin
and literally became a new person.

And I don't mean the same person.

What are the chances this could be
due to an alien influence?

- Could it be a virus?
- Why are you asking me this?

Sir, if you know something...

Look, we're working against the clock here.
This could happen to Mulder.

And until we know what it is
we have to do everything to control it.

There may be a vaccine.

- Where?
- It doesn't come without a price.

This is about saving a man's life!

Yes.

It is.

Brother.

You aren't someone I expected
to be... paying me a visit.

- How are they treatin' you?
- Treatin' me?

Like a prophet.

That's what I'm here about -
your prophecies, these preachings of yours.

Oh.

You misread me, is that it?

I wanna know about these men and women
you say you find left for dead.

You found someone yourself.

Left for dead, but who's not dead.

Yes.

You're here to receive the word...

and yet you can't bring yourself
to say my name.

Say it.

- Absalom.
- "I am the resurrection and the life."

"He who believeth in me, though
he were dead, yet shall he live."

Do you know the words?

They're from the Bible.

What is the Bible?

Preaching... prophecy...

misread.

Look, I'm not here to debate theology.

I'm here because somehow you healed these
people and I wanna know how you did it.

- I need your help.
- You ask for my help...

but you refuse to believe in me.

It's hard to believe, isn't it...

that Mulder could ever possibly
get out of that bed?

- I need the vaccine, Alex.
- Yeah?

Time is wastin'.

What do I have to do?

It's simple, really.

Make sure Scully doesn't come to term.

- You're out of your mind.
- She can't have that baby.

No.

The answer is no.

We all have a life in our hands.
I have yours...

you have Mulder's...

and Scully has her unborn child.

It's who's willing to sacrifice.

- Where are you goin'?
- I don't have time to debate our differences.

I strongly believe that Agent Mulder
is infected with a virus.

A virus?

One that seems to keep the body just alive
enough to take it through a transformation.

- Into, let me guess, an alien.
- Agent Doggett, I don't have time to argue.

I'm not arguin', and for what it's worth, that's
what this guy that first found Mulder told me.

- This man that we put in prison. Absalom?
- He told you this was a virus?

No. He said abductees were being
returned and left for dead.

If he hadn't done his hocus-pocus
they would've been resurrected as aliens.

It was all part of some big
alien takeover of the world.

That's it.

- What's it?
- How Billy Miles came back so perfectly.

I stood and watched his body go into seizure
just moments before this happened.

On the monitor there were two heartbeats.
I told the nurse it was a mechanical error.

You think this kid has sloughed his skin
and come back as an alien?

And it'll happen to Mulder
if we don't stop it soon.

- Where are you goin'?
- I need a surgical bay, a team of doctors.

I have to keep Mulder's body stabilized
in order to administer the vaccine.

What vaccine?

The one I asked AD Skinner to get me.

Assistant Director?

Open up. It's John Doggett.

- What the hell are you doin'?
- You don't understand.

- You're killin' him.
- I have no choice.

He wanted me to kill Scully‘s baby.

Who?

Alex Krycek. For the vaccine.

It's the only way he'd give it to me.
But I couldn't trust him.

I couldn't do that to her.

Where is he?

Stop the car! Stop the car!

You lookin' for this?

It's the vaccine, for Mulder.

Agent Doggett.

Agent Mulder's in the 0R.
Did you get the vaccine?

Listen to me. You weren't wrong.

He wasn't to be trusted.

Is he gonna make it?

I don't know.

- I really don't know how we could've known.
- What?

That by keeping him on life-support
we were incubating the virus.

- We were hastening it along.
- How'd you figure it out?

When Skinner pulled Mulder off the machines
his temperature dropped rapidly,

without affecting his vital signs.

You mean Skinner saved him.

What about the vaccine?

If we can stabilize him and his temperature,
we can give him courses of antivirals.

I think it could work.

John.

Sir. Morning rush hour.
I got here as quickly as I could.

Missed the sunrise.

L was with Agent Scully.

I know.

It's gonna be awful crowded
down in that X-Files office.

Maybe you didn't hear me.

I said you're on the wrong floor.

Yes, sir.

Mulder...

Hi.

Who are you?

Oh, my God. Don't do that to me.

Do you know...

Do you have any idea
what you've been through?

Only what I see in your face.

Anybody miss me?

I made this!
