Fixed & Synced By MoUsTaFa ZaKi

(child) Hurry up!

All clear!

(speaks Japanese)

Come on in.

- What are you watching?
- Something that just came in the mail.

That's not your usual brand
of entertainment.

- What is it?
- According to the ad I answered

..it's an alien autopsy.
Guaranteed authentic.

- You spent money for this?
- $29.95. Plus shipping.

This is even hokier than the one
they aired on the Fox network.



- You can't see what they're operating on.
- But it does look authentic.

I mean, the setting and the procedures.

I mean, it does look as if an actual autopsy
is being performed, doesn't it?

Well, I don't know why they would
be wearing gas masks.

Maybe it's because of this green substance
they seem to be extracting from the subject.

- Can you identify that?
- Olive oil? Snake oil?

I suppose you think it's alien blood.

It's widely held that aliens don't have blood.

- If this is an alien autopsy...
- Where's the alien?

But what's so intriguing
to me is the striking lack of detail.

- Well, what do you want for $29_95?
- That autopsy you saw on TV was so fake...

- _.because it tried to show too much.
- And this is real because it doesn't?

Yes, and because of, uh... because of this.

- Wno's selling these tapes?
- Some guy in Allentown, Pennsylvania.



Claims he pulled it off the satellite dish
at two in the morning.

- Front door's boarded up.
- Back door's been busted open.

Hope nobody let the rat out.

IVlulder, in here.

- He's still warm.
- (door bangs)

(Mulder) Federal agent!

Come on down.

I get tired of Iosin' my gun.

OK, now face the fence.

Face the fence!

What's your name?

(speaks Japanese)

- Do you speak English?
- (Japanese)

Great.

Give me the bag.

Give me the bag.

OK, let's go.

- Let's go!
- (Japanese)

Either they can't locate an interpreter,
or the interpreter...

..didn't interpret the instructions
and got lost somewhere.

- Did you try the FBI field office?
- This is a tall request...

_.in Allentown this time of night.

Well, look at this. A beacon in the night.

- Agent Mulder. Scully.
- This is a surprise, sir.

- You don't speak Japanese, by any chance?
- I wish I could.

- It might save us all some embarrassment.
- What do you mean?

I'm with a federal attorney,
trying to sort out a little international mess.

- He said you made an arrest tonight.
- A murder suspect.

- You're gonna have to release him.
- What are you talking about?

According to the Japanese
diplomatic corps,

the man is a high-ranking diplomat.

This man sitting in here?

- If that's Kazuo Sakurai.
- I didn't get his name.

- I was too busy getting my ass kicked.
- What about the victim or the paperwork?

It's all gotta be handled
by some other agency.

What are you two doing out here anyway?

Tracking down a video-piracy thing.

I suggest you keep your nose clean

and head straight back to Washington,
Agent Mulder,.._

_.before someone takes another swipe at it.

I don't know, Mulder. ltjust doesn't track.
What would a Japanese diplomat be doing...

_.in that house with a dead man
with his head in a pillowcase?

Obviously not strengthening
international relations.

- Well, what do you wanna do now? Drop it?
- I paid my $29.95, Scully.

I think I'm entitled to a few more answers,
don't you think?

- What are you doing?
- I just remembered a piece of evidence...

_.that I forgot to turn in.

- (Scully) What are those?
- They look like satellite photos.

- What would he be doing with these?
- What would he be doing with a list...

_.of Mutual UFO Network members
in the Allentown area,...

_.with the name Betsy Hagopian circled?

Maybe he was gonna fit her
for a pillowcase too.

Why don't you stick around
and check it out in the morning?

- What are you gonna do?
- Go back to DC, like a good boy.

Like Skinner told me to do.
Show these to a few friends of ours.

The name of the boat is the Talapus.

Just gotta love them German optics.

- You're saying it's from a German satellite?
- No, the optics are German.

The technology is probably ours,
but the satellite is most likely Japanese.

- Launched from South America.
- Gotta love that global economy, huh?

- Where'd you get this?
- Japanese diplomat.

I'm surprised. The Japanese are very
secretive about their espionage capabilities.

- And careful with their intelligence data.
- What exactly are they spying on there?

The Talapus was a salvage ship
out of San Diego.

They were looking for a Japanese sub
that went down in World War II.

It was rumoured to be carrying
a load of gold bullion.

- Did they find it?
- Not according to all the reports.

But, looking at this photo,
the ship never returned to San Diego.

- Why do you say that?
- The rest of these photos,...

_.they track the ship
through the Panama Canal,

all the way to Newport News, Virginia.

- The naval shipyard.
- But why would they go there?

Maybe what they found
wasn't a Japanese sub.

Good evening, Mr Sakurai.

- Hi. Betsy Hagopian?
- I'm sorry. Betsy's not here right now.

Is there some way that
I can get in touch with her?

- I'm sorry. My name is Dana Scully.
- I know you.

- No, I think you must be mistaken.
- We saw you.

Penny! Penny, come here.

I'm afraid I'm not who you think I am.

Oh, my God.

She's one.

- One what?
- One of us.

There must be some Kind of mistake.
I work for the FBI.

I'm here conducting a murder investigation.

A murder?

Cathy, I'm here at Betsy's. Call the group
and get everyone over here right away.

A man named Steven Zinnzser
was murdered about two miles from here.

- Penny, do you hear that?
- Steve Zinnzser was murdered?

- Did you know him?
- He was a member of our chapter.

But you understand I'm not a member.
I'm an FBI agent.

- That's what you said.
- But at the door you said I was one of you.

Did you have an unexplained event
in your life last year?

Were you missing for some time
that can't be accounted for?

- Why did you ask me that?
- I think you'd better sit down, Miss Scully.

I think there's some people
you're gonna wanna meet.

- Talapus?
- It's a salvage ship registered in San Diego.

You went out to meet the boat when
customs wouldn't allow it into port.

Oh, yeah. That's right.

But it wasn't customs preventing
her landing. It was the DEA.

- The DEA? Why? What was the problem?
- They were searching for contraband,___

_.if I remember correctly.
The boat came through Panama.

There was concern that
her crew had picked up a shipment.

- Did they find anything?
- They were never aboard.

I think there was a question of confiscating
the boat if the crew were to be arrested.

- Were they?
- Apparently not.

They were called off and the boat
put out to sea the following morning.

- Well, that doesn't make any sense.
- Excuse me?

The Talapus came nonstop from Panama.
She would have had to stop to refuel.

I don't have all the details in my head.

Would you see if there's
any paperwork on this?

See if there's a heading
or a destination for the Talapus?

- That might take some time.
- Oh, that's all right. I'm happy to wait.

But I've never met any of you.
I've never seen any of you before in my life.

You may not remember.
You've only had one experience.

Most of us here have been
taken many times.

Taken? Taken where?

The bright, white place.

You remember it, don't you?

- I don't know.
- There are men there performing tests.

- What men?
- They don't reveal themselves.

They take our memories away,
but somehow they start to seep back.

Some may have come back to you
but they didn't make sense.

D'you know about regression hypnosis?

Yes. I'm.__

Have you ever considered it?

I'm sorry.
I don't think I'm ready to discuss this.

You're afraid to remember, aren't you?

That's OK. We were all afraid at first.

Agent Mulder?

(car tyres screech)

I don't know. When I opened that door
and saw you standing there,.__

_.it was like a revelation.
The image of your face was so clear to me.

But why is it that I don't remember you?

All you remember
in the beginning is the light.

And then sometimes the faces of the men
that performed the tests.

How do you know that you're not
mistaking me for somebody else?

You have the mark, don't you?

What mark?

HSFS.

On the back of your neck.

We all have them.
it's where they put the implants.

I really have to go. I just came...

- To see Betsy.
- Yes. To see Betsy Hagopian.

Why are you all at her house? Where is she?

- What's wrong with her?
- Betsy's in the advanced stages...

_.of an undiagnosed cancer ailment.

Her body's full of tumours that
won't respond to any treatment.

And you think this is
the result of her abductions?

They've been taking Betsy
since she was in her teens.

- This is what's gonna happen to all of us.
- What do you mean?

I don't know if you understand this or not,
Dana, but we're all gonna end up like Betsy.

We're all dying
because of what they do to us.

I think they found
what they were looking for.

I don't remember giving you a key.

I came to see you.
Obviously I was late for the party.

- Yeah, I guess I should really fire my maid.
- Put the gun down, Mulder.

Somebody else might get hurt.

- What are you talking about?
- Kazuo Sakurai, the diplomat you detained.

Our murder suspect.

He didn't make his flight last night.

This morning his body was found
floating face down in the C&O Canal.

I think we can assume
he wasn't diving for pearls.

The Japanese government believes

that he was murdered
for the contents of a briefcase.

- A piece of evidence that wasn't logged in.
- What do they think was in it?

I've got the State Department
breathing down my neck, IVlulder.

The Japanese want to prosecute this

outside of diplomatic channels,
so cut the crap.

- Am I being accused of murder?
- Where's the briefcase?

Agent Scully has it.

- She has it in the trunk of her rental car.
- Where is she?

I haven't spoken to her
since I left her in Allentown.

You better find her. Because whatever
you stepped in on this case...

_.is being tracked into my office,
and I don't like the smell of it.

Mind if I tidy up in here a bit first?

This is bigger than me,
you or the FBI, Agent Mulder.

I hope you've got other names in your phone
book. I'm taking myself off the hook on this.

You're on your own.

Hello, Fox.

Thank you for seeing me
on such short notice.

I understand you're in a difficult position.

Don't look so stunned.
I'm on the intelligence committee.

Secrets are the only real currency
we deal in.

- Then you know what I'm up against.
- Perhaps better than you do.

Which, I assume, is why you've come here.

I need your advice on how to proceed.

- Return the satellite photos.
- I'd be implicating myself.

A good chess player knows
which pieces to sacrifice... and when.

I can't afford to be entangled
in a murder investigation.

- Why?
- Because of what I've seen.

It would give them time to bury it
where I might not find it again.

Do you trust me, Fox?

Then let me earn your trust with the truth.

I'm listening.

Several weeks ago in Knoxville, Tennessee,
four Japanese nationals were murdered.

All prominent doctors apparently engaged
in a highly classified project.

What kind of project?

The autopsy of an extraterrestrial life form,
was that part of it?

I can't tell you. Some secrets
do remain secret, Fox, even to me.

I was only just now given the names
of the murdered scientists.

The credentials, however,
are a matter of public record.

Past deeds which may illuminate
present treacheries.

Your time is limited.

Before you become, as you say,
entangled in this...

_.past the point of being about
to fully understand or expose it.

What am I onto here?

Monsters begetting monsters.

(knocking)

- Scully.
- Why is the door locked?

- I have something to show you.
- Do you have any idea where I've been?

- Allentown?
- I went to go see those MUFON members...

- _.to find out about Betsy Hagopian_
- What'd you find?

I found out that she's dying, along with a lot
of other women who claim to be dying too.

All of them who say that
they have these implanted in them.

It's the same thing that I had
removed from my own neck.

- But you're fine, aren't you, Scully?
-Am I? I don't know, IVlulder.

They said that they know me,
that they've seen me before. It was freaky!

They know things about me,
my disappearance.

That is disturbing.

But I don't think you should freak out
until we find out what this thing is.

(phone rings)

Mulder.

- I got a fax coming.
- What is this?

A group of Japanese medical officers
taken during World War II.

- I've seen this man before.
- No, not unless you were in Japan...

- _.in the last 50 years.
- No. I've seen him before.

His name is Dr Takeo Ishimaru.
He's been dead since 1965.

He was the commander of an elite section

of the Japanese medical corps
known as 731.

A unit now known to have
experimented on humans.

They performed vivisections
without anaesthesia...

_.tested frostbite tolerance levels
on infants,...

_.exposed innocent prisoners of war
to diseases, the plague.

Like their Nazi counterparts,
they were never brought to justice.

- What are you doing with these?
- Four of these doctors...

_.were on that video tape
performing that autopsy.

Yeah,
but you couldn't tell one from the other.

Somebody could.
Those same men were murdered yesterday.

- Found here, right on US soil.
- Murdered for what?

- That's what I'd like to know.
- Murdered by whom?

- Possibly our government.
- Ours? For what possible reason?

For continuing the work
the Nazis were doing,

trying to create an alien-human hybrid.

- Mulder, that is still a fantasy.
- Scully, after all you've seen!

All you've told me.
The tunnel filled with medical files,...

_.the beings moving past you,
the implant in your neck.

- Why do you refuse to believe?
- Believing's the easy part, Mulder.

I just need more than you. I need proof.

You think that believing is easy?

(fax machine beeps)

Well, we have proof. I identified
what those spy photos were tracking.

A ship that pulled a UFO
out of the Pacific Ocean,___

_.a UFO that's in a warehouse right now
being guarded by US military personnel.

A UFO that was probably carrying
that EBE we saw on that autopsy tape.

- What am I looking at?
- Part of our government's secret railroad.

Train cars used to carry test subjects,...

_.used to conduct that autopsy
we saw being performed.

- Where did you get this?
- From someone like you who wants proof.

Who's also willing to believe.

- Amazing.
- Do you know what it is?

Looks like some kind of microprocessor.

So you're saying that this is man-made?

What else would it be?
I mean, it's definitely state of the art.

The microlithography is extremely complex.

I've never seen anything
even close to this density.

Any way of finding out
who manufactures it?

There are a few companies out in San Jose,
a couple in Boston.

It could be any one of them.

- What are these chips used for?
- Video games, brake systems.

They're finding new apps every day.
I just read about one being designed...

_.to help the severely disabled
operate computers using brain waves.

How?

Through direct electrochemical interface
with the cerebral cortex.

Pretty incredible, huh?

Yeah.

(phone rings)

- Scully.
- Hey, Scully. It's me.

- Where are you?
- The train yard in Quinnimont.

Some Japanese men just put someone
in one of those boxcars

from the satellite photos.

- You said it was our government's railroad.
- Something serious is going down here.

- What do you mean?
- The thing they put in the train, it was alive.

Mulder...

I gotta get on that train. it's hooking up
with a Canadian train outside Cincinnati.

I was right about Dr Ishimaru.

He isn't dead.
In fact, he's on your videotape.

Well, that's where you know him from, then.

No, that's not where I know him from at all.

(PA) Your attention, please.

All passengers on Canadian
Northwest Express to Vancouverj---

_.prepare for boarding on track four

Again, all passengers on Canadian
Northwest Express to Vancouverj---

_.please prepare for boarding on track four

- Express train to Vancouver, what track?
- It just left.

- When did it leave?
- You just missed it.

- It just pulled out of the station.
- Thanks.

Agent Scully.

- What are you doing here?
- Have you spoken to Agent Mulder?

- No. Why?
- He's in danger.

- How do you know?
- He's tracking a train.

- You can't let him get on it.
- I don't know what you're talking about.

You've got to get word to him.

Why should I trust you?
You've lied to us before.

You're wasting time. Do you understand?

(phone rings)

- Mulder.
- Mulder, don't get on the train.

- Why not?
- Because they know where you are...

_.and they know what you're doing.

- Who told you that?
- Look, it's just too dangerous.

Who told you, Scully?

- Scully, it's coming.
- Let it go.

I can't.

Mulder, don't get on the train. Mulder!

(Scully) Mulder!
