Come on, let's go! Move, move!
Let's go! Outside!
Move it! Move it!
- Come on, come on! - Let's go, let's go!
- Come on, come on! - Move it!
Outside! Everyone outside!
Hurry! Hurry!
Let's go!
- Come on! Get in! - Hurry up!
- You heard him! - Get up! Get up!
Back, back, back. Come on.
All the way to the back!
Delta Company clear!
- All right, out! - Let's go.
Line up! Face forward!
Turn around and face the other way! Now!
Fire!
Mulder? Answer me!
Dammit!
- I wanna know what's on that train. - It doesn't matter now.
Our government operates a secret railroad.
They put something living on that train in West Virginia.
- What more is there to know? - What the Japanese have to do with it.
- How a man named Ishimaru was involved. - That I don't know.
Don't tell me you don't know, you smug son of a...
There are limits... to my knowledge.
- I don't have time for convenient ignorance. - What were you gonna do? Shoot me?
Just like the men that shot your sister?
- You know them too? - You wanna know what's on that train,...
..who killed your sister?
You find out what they put in your neck.
- The implant. - It holds more than I could ever tell you.
Maybe everything you need to know.
Excuse me, sir. I need your assistance.
- I'm a federal agent. My name is Mulder. - You need my assistance?
I need access to that quarantine car you picked up in West Virginia.
Sorry, can't help you.
I'm a federal agent, sir. I need you to open it.
I would if I could, but I don't have access myself.
We pick them up from time to time. What they carry, they never say.
Somebody's gotta be able to get in that car.
We've got a doctor on board. Came on back at Queensgate.
He might have somethin' to do with it. He checked the door.
- What's his name? - Japanese fella.
Dr Shiro Zama.
"Traveling with another party", but I thought he was alone.
- Can you take me to his compartment? - Certainly. This way.
Stay here.
Knock on the door, but stay away from it.
Dr Zama?
Knock again.
It's the conductor, Dr Zama.
Open it.
Just unlock it, then step away.
Why did I study French in high school?
Have you got a safe place to put this?
Yes. What am I supposed to tell the doctor?
If he finds you before I find him,
I want you to make him lie on the ground until I get back.
OK? You understand?
- Have you ever used a gun before? - No.
I just want you to point it at him.
Don't pull the trigger. That'll kinda give away the game.
- What if he runs? - Just make sure he runs my way.
I'm feeding the chip impulses.
The graph is recording its output. When I remove the current, it changes slightly,...
..but continues. This means the neural network is storing information.
- Biological information? - That was my first guess.
You told me the chip was placed subcutaneous to the back of the neck.
So it makes sense that it records impulses
sent to and from the central nervous system.
- But what? - But look at the graph.
Those are reverberatory loops.
They show the presence of circular-neuronal activity in the brain.
- Memory formation. - The chip seems to mimic that process,...
- ..replicating memories in the brain. - Like a computer hard drive.
Yeah, but no hard drive we've ever seen.
This neural network could be collecting information...
..and artificially replicating a person's mental processes.
- You could know a person's every thought. - Frightening.
Anyway, I showed the chip to some of my tech-heads.
They weren't as blown away as I thought they'd be.
- They've seen this before? - They've seen neural nets,...
..but never one so complex. Nor are they likely to any time soon.
What do you mean?
The chip's so delicate that I destroyed it when I began working on it.
But I found something in the silicon matrix - the name of the manufacturer.
It's Japanese, isn't it?
- How'd you know? - It was just a guess.
Well, I checked for you. I assumed you'd want me to.
But there's no record or information on the manufacturer, either here or in Japan.
Except for this.
We had FedEx, UPS, the postal service, every commercial courier...
..go through their records. They found one shipment,...
..sent to a Dr Shiro Zama at a research facility out in Perkey, West Virginia.
Well done, Agent Pendrell. Keep up the good work.
Right, thanks. Keep it up yourself.
"Keep it up yourself'?
What a doof!
Please...
Hey!
Stop!
Please, don't...
Don't hurt us. Please.
Don't...
Excuse me?
- God, he's dead! - No, shh. He's just got motion sickness.
I'm gonna go find a doctor. Why don't you just find another bathroom?
Who are you?
Don't worry. I'm not gonna hurt you. I'm an FBI agent.
We live here.
We've lived here at the facility most of our lives.
What kind of facility?
The Hansen's Disease Research Facility.
Hansen's dis...?
- Do you mean this is a leper colony? - No more.
The... facility's closed now.
Look, I came here looking for a Dr Shiro Zama.
Dr Zama isn't here any more.
None of the medical staff is.
Where did they go?
Well, they all left.
Right before the death squads started coming.
What death squads?
That's who we've been hiding from.
We thought you'd come to kill us.
Like they killed all the others.
- How many have been killed? - Hundreds. All but us.
I don't understand how there were hundreds of people here...
..when leprosy is meant to be a treatable disease.
Well, it is. Me and the other people back at the hiding place, we're the last.
Our disfigurement forced us into the camps before there was a treatment.
- Who were the others? - We never knew.
They began arriving several years ago, but they were kept apart from us.
- And they had Hansen's disease? - No. They had the Hansen's deformities.
Dr Zama would round them up in groups for treatment.
And then the ones that returned always came back worse,...
..with terrible burns all over their bodies.
It's over there.
Oh, my God.
There are more of these pits.
They just dump the bodies on top of each other.
Like they were garbage.
They're coming.
Wait! Hey!
No!
Move and you're dead.
I found Zama four cars up, strangled, in the bathroom.
Get up there and seal off that bathroom.
Get word to the engineer not to stop this train until I tell him, OK?
Until I find the killer.
Hey!
I'm a law enforcement officer.
- Stay back. - Just put that gun down.
I'm gonna show you my identification.
Put the gun down.
You idiot!
Put your hands in the air and turn around!
Put your hands in the air!
You have no idea what you're dealing with here.
Maybe you should have filled me in before you tried to kill me. Now who are you?
- No. Who are you? - Answer me!
I work for the National Security Agency.
The NSA?
Since when did they start issuing you piano wire instead of guns?
Since we learned there's a bomb on this train.
There's something on this train, but it's not a bomb. Throw that here.
This car is wired to an explosive device.
It armed automatically when I entered the car.
- Why? - Because of what's in that room.
Because if the man responsible for it couldn't get it out of the country,...
..he would rather kill it than let it live.
- So you killed him? - The only humane alternative.
Given the circumstances.
The smallest concussion could set it off.
If you use that weapon, you take your chances.
I'll take my chances.
I'd like to speak with Miss Scully alone.
How did you know my name?
I know most everything about you, Dana.
What are you talking about?
I think you know.
Who are you? What is this place?
This was one of the most frightening places on the earth.
A place where society sent its monsters to live in shame and isolation.
Now their disease is all but conquered.
Science has eliminated thousands of years of misery.
I've seen your methods of elimination.
What happened to the man who was with me?
What about the people who were in this room?
- They had been exposed. - Exposed to what?
The same thing all these people have been exposed to.
Victims of an inhuman project run by a man named Zama.
You mean Ishimaru. You hid him here after the war.
He stayed here and he continued his experiments.
The ruler of the world isn't the country with the greatest soldiers,...
..but the greatest scientists.
Unfortunately Ishimaru began to conduct his work in secret,...
..not sharing with those who'd risked much in giving him his asylum.
- What was he exposing these people to? - Terrible things.
What kinds of things?
- Have I been exposed? - I don't know.
Who knows?
Please, I'd like to show you something that will give you your answers.
Agent Mulder! Do you want us to try prying this door open?
I wouldn't recommend that.
No.
Where's the key card?
It's in my pocket.
Take it out. Slowly.
Put it on the table.
It's not gonna work.
No? How did you get in here?
There's a code, right?
Zama gave you a code just before you killed him. What is it?
Four ones, a four, a seven and a one.
1-1-1-1-4-7-1.
I assume Zama would be smarter than to give me the entrance and the exit code.
- What? - He knew he was gonna die.
When I used the code to enter the car, it activated the bomb.
If you use it again, it will almost certainly set it off.
- If there's a bomb on this train, where is it? - I don't know. It could be anywhere.
No, it couldn't. If you activated it coming in, it's gotta be on this car.
- You're probably right. - Where do you think it is?
I don't know.
You know what I think? I think you're a liar.
I don't think you work for the NSA, and there's no bomb on this train.
- You're choosing a hell of a way to find out. - Shut up!
That's you.
Answer it.
Yes.
Yes.
Just a moment.
It's for you.
Put it down.
- Yeah? - Mr Mulder.
I have someone here who'd like to speak with you.
- Mulder, it's me. - Scully, where are you?
- I'm in West Virginia. - Who dialed this number?
Mulder, we're involved in something, but it's not what you think.
- What are you talking about? - Whatever is on that train is not alien.
- You're wrong, Scully. - Mulder, Ishimaru Zama...
He was experimenting on innocent human subjects.
He's been doing it for years, operating out of a leper colony.
Whatever his name was, he's dead. I don't think this has anything to do with lepers.
The colony was a front. The tests weren't just on lepers.
They were on the homeless, on the insane.
They were brought here and subjected to diseases and radiation tests.
- Who told you this? - The man who handed me the phone.
- Why do you believe him? - Because of what he's shown me.
What?
- What's he shown you? - Mulder, I'm standing in a train car...
..just like the one on your alien autopsy video. Only I realise I've been here before.
- What are you talking about? - This is where they brought me, Mulder.
This is where they put the implant in my neck, in one of these cars.
It all makes sense, Mulder. Ishimaru Zama was using the secret railroad...
..to conduct his tests across the country.
The women in Allentown, they all remember these cars...
Scully? Scully?
- Can you hear me? - Yeah. So what are you saying?
That Zama abducted these women?
What I'm saying, Mulder, is that there is no such thing as alien abduction.
It is just a smoke screen,
created by our government to cover up the biggest lie of all.
What about the UFO I saw them working on?
That wasn't a UFO.
It was a piece of a Russian nuclear sub that was raised. More lies.
- How can you be so sure? - Because I have what I told you I needed.
Proof. Two weeks ago the president made a public apology...
..for secret radiation tests that had been conducted on innocent citizens
up until 1974.
- Only guess what. - Those tests never ended.
Mulder, listen to me. You have got to stay out of that train car.
- Why? - Because there is a bomb on board.
If that bomb detonates, thousands of people are gonna die from haemorrhagic fever.
That's what the test subject inside has been exposed to.
Well, Scully, you're a little late. I'm locked inside that train car.
Then we've got to get you out of there, because that device is on a timer.
- Where is it? - There's a ventilation grid on the ceiling.
It's hidden up inside.
Step back.
Open that.
- Did you find it, Mulder? - Hold on.
Oh, yeah. I've found it.
- How much time do you have? - Little over an hour and a half.
Mulder, you've got to get them to stop that train, so we can get you off of it.
They want you to tell the engineer to stop at the next station.
- ..and evacuate the train. - You're breaking up. I can't hear you.
- Did you hear that? Mulder? - Scully? Scully?
What's the next stop?
It's not on the map.
Step aside.
Conductor!
- Where are we? - Iowa.
We passed Murray station about 20 minutes ago.
All right, listen. I want you to get word to the engineer there's a bomb on this car.
- Bomb? - That's right.
I want you to tell him not to make his next scheduled stop and to reroute.
- You understand? - I think so.
Tell him to choose a place as far from a populated area as possible...
..and unhook this car.
- What are you doing? - Let's move into the corner over there, now.
You're gonna get us both killed.
I want you to kneel down and put your hands behind your back.
They'll never be able to find us in time.
If what's here is as important as I think it is, they will.
You're gonna die. You know that?
What do you care? You were tryin' to kill me anyway.
Scully.
You haven't seen America till you've seen it from a train.
- Dammit, Mulder, what happened? - We're not gonna make that station.
I figured that. Do you have any idea where you are?
No, but I'm sure they'll find us. We probably lit up every spy satellite in this hemisphere.
It's the only thing to do, if you're right about what's on this car, to reduce the risks.
Mulder, if I'm right, they're not gonna wanna find you.
- But you don't think I'm right, do you? - We'll wait and see.
We're not waiting for anything, Mulder. We gotta get you outta there.
I'm fielding all offers and suggestions.
- They're not gonna come, are they? - I said you were making a mistake.
Tell me something.
You got on this train to kill Dr Zama. Then what? What were your orders then?
Who were you protecting?
Unless that bomb is as phoney as you, we've got half an hour to live.
Is that part of the plan?
They don't make provisions for saving my life.
What about that thing back there? What provisions were made for saving its life?
I don't know. I wasn't expected to fail.
You know what it is, don't you?
You're gonna die for that thing. Is it important enough to die for?
What is it? A plague carrier? A leper?
We're both gonna die in here. The difference is, I'm gonna die quickly.
As an employee of the NSA, you should know...
..that a gunshot wound to the stomach is the most painful and the slowest way to die.
But I'm not a very good shot.
And when I miss, I tend to miss low.
It's a weapon.
A weapon? What kind of a weapon?
Ask yourself, my friend, what could be more valuable than Star Wars?
More valuable than the atomic bomb, or the most advanced biological weapons?
A standing army, immune to the effects of those weapons.
That's what Dr Zama did, didn't he?
He came up with an immunity to those weapons.
He tried to smuggle that thing back to his own country,...
..only our government isn't in the mood to share, right?
They've been doing experiments since World War II on innocent civilians.
But Zama succeeded where the others had failed.
And that thing in there...
That's no innocent civilian.
It's not a leper, either.
It's an alien-human hybrid, isn't it?
Then again, if that were true,...
..you'd have expected someone would have been here by now to save it, wouldn't you?
Yes, hello. My name is Dana Scully and I'm trying to reach Senator Matheson at home.
I've already tried him at his office. Please, this is an emergency. Can you reach him?
Yes, I'm at 555-0199.
Thanks. This area code.
- Yeah. - Mulder? I think I've got something here.
- What is it? - I think I may have a code for you.
I'm watching Zama punch it into a keypad in one of the train cars.
- What are you watching? - Your alien autopsy video.
You mean I might get my 29.95's worth after all?
- I've got six minutes left. Have you? - Let's hope not. What's the code?
OK...
One.
One, zero.
- Wait. Are you there? - Yeah, yeah.
One, zero... one.
One, zero, one...
And a three.
- Then a three. - Three, three.
I can't see the last number clearly. His hand gets in the way.
- Tick tick, Scully. - No, I'm sorry. Um...
- I think it's a one. - You think it's a one? Are you sure?
Yeah. Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
And a one.
Mulder?
Mulder!
OK, call me if you learn anything.
Nothing, Scully. The rail operators, the forestry department...
Nobody knows what happened to that train car.
Are there any satellite photos?
Senator Matheson hasn't returned my calls. His aides say he's out of the country.
The administrator at the hospital said someone had called...
..and alerted them to your location. I went through the phone records.
The call was placed from a phone booth in Blue Earth, Iowa.
Did you locate the briefcase Zama left on the train?
Yeah. I got it right here.
It doesn't look like the same briefcase.
It's the one they gave me, the one they said you gave to the conductor.
These aren't the same journals.
- They've been rewritten. - Mulder...
- They're gettin' away with it. - They've gotten away with it.
The bodies at the leper colony are gone.
I know what I saw. It wasn't a leper and it wasn't human.
And I know what I saw at the research facility.
It was barely recognisable as human.
Don't you see? You're doing their work for them, chasing aliens that aren't there,...
..helping to create a story to cover the truth. What they can't cover, they apologise for.
- Apology has become policy. - I don't need an apology for the lies.
I don't care about the fictions they create to cover their crimes.
I want them held accountable for what did happen. I want an apology for the truth.
I made this!
