The X-Files 4x19

1. You know what he's capable of.

2. You know what he's capable of.

3. Please. McFarland's going to turn this into a witch hunt,

4. and who do you think he's going to burn at the stake?

5. Yeah, well, you should've thought of that

6. before you published the results.

7. No, you should've come to me before you went to McFarland.

8. I did, Jason, more than once, but... That's bull!

9. You didn't want to hear anything I had to say.

10. You never do.

11. So you deliberately went behind my back!

12. I didn't exactly... What? What do you want?

13. Please, I need to talk to you.

14. Excuse us, please.

15. That street is dangerous.

16. Right, thank you. We'll be fine.

17. Look, I'm not going to lie about this.

18. I'm not asking you to lie.

19. Then what are you asking me to do?

20. Then what are you asking me to do?

21. I've traveled a long way. Here— what?

22. You want some money? Is that it?

23. Here, here's a dollar. It's all I have.

24. No, no, listen to me!

25. Hey, hey, hey! Take it easy.

26. I'm trying to save your life!

27. Hey! Take it easy! Just calm down.

28. Let go!

29. What's the problem here?

30. This old guy is harassing me.

31. No, he's just a little bit agitated.

32. No, he... he's going to die

33. at exactly 11:46.

34. The bus...

35. We're all going to die, pop.

36. Come on, let's go sleep it off. No!

37. Come with me. Jason!

38. Feel better in the morning.

39. Feel better in the morning.

40. Don't let him cross the street.

41. All right. His papers!

42. He won't see the bus at 11:46!

43. All right, into the car.

44. Stop him! No! Watch your head.

45. Jason!

46. How did he know my name?

47. How the hell should I know?

48. (muffled): Stop him!

49. Stop him! You've got to stop him!

50. You don't have much time!

51. He's going to die!

52. Stop him now! Stop him now!

53. (thunder rumbling) Lucas!

54. (thunder rumbling) Lucas!

55. Wait! Come on, man. Give me a chance!

56. We have got nothing left to talk about.

57. Lucas!

58. Damn it!

59. Lucas!

60. Lucas!

61. Lucas!

62. No!

63. What'd you do to him?

64. What'd you do to him?

65. You pushed him.

66. You pushed him right in front of me!

67. You killed him!

68. What the hell did you do?

69. His name was Lucas Menand,

70. a post-doctoral fellow at M.I.T.

71. He was a bright and promising researcher.

72. A life dedicated to science

73. cut short by an unfortunate bus accident.

74. Cause of death was massive head trauma—

75. pronounced on site.

76. But according to the bus driver, it was no accident?

77. He claims that Menand was pushed by a suspect

78. identified as Jason Nichols,

79. an associate professor of biology

80. as well as Menand's academic advisor.

81. Says here in the police report

82. they'd been seen arguing earlier that evening,

83. they'd been seen arguing earlier that evening,

84. but Jason Nichols has refused to tell police about what.

85. Hmm. Sounds like a motive, doesn't it?

86. Between that and the bus driver's statement,

87. why am I looking at this?

88. Would you like to hear his alibi?

89. If I'd wanted to kill him,

90. you think this is how I'd do it?

91. Then what were you doing, Mr. Nichols?

92. Trying to save him!

93. From getting hit by the bus?

94. I told you, there was a man—

95. some old guy who said it would happen.

96. some old guy who said it would happen.

97. He warned Lucas about the bus.

98. He knew the exact time and place.

99. He tried telling us.

100. He knew my name!

101. That's his alibi— that some old man came and warned him

102. that his colleague was going to die?

103. Well, he goes on to tell a pretty convincing narrative

104. and to give a rather detailed description of the old man.

105. What was he wearing, a long black robe

106. and carrying a scythe?

107. Well, not when campus security picked him up.

108. He was arrested?

109. Minutes before the accident,

110. according to Jason Nichols.

111. Packed into a security vehicle,

112. trying to warn Nichols even as he was being hauled away.

113. trying to warn Nichols even as he was being hauled away.

114. Has anybody talked to him? No.

115. Has anybody talked to the campus security officer?

116. Can't. Why not?

117. He's dead.

118. Of what?

119. I haven't been able to make a definitive determination

120. as to cause or time of death.

121. There's been some internal disagreement

122. over how to proceed.

123. You mean with the autopsy?

124. Yes. But mostly whether to cut or to saw.

125. You see why we didn't put him in refrigeration.

126. Have you ever seen a body

127. in such an advanced hypothermic state?

128. Hypothermic?

129. Mulder, this man's an icicle.

130. Did you see this?

131. His ear?

132. It looks like something's been inserted in it.

133. Something has.

134. I took his temperature.

135. I don't know if the reading was accurate,

136. but the thermometer said

137. his body temp was 15 degrees Fahrenheit.

138. Where was he found?

139. Where was he found?

140. On campus, inside his patrol car.

141. Parked just off Adams with one wheel on the curb.

142. Police also found an empty gin bottle

143. under the driver's seat.

144. Apparently, he had a history.

145. He'd been cited for drinking on duty.

146. You'd assumed he passed out and froze to death,

147. except the low temperature for last night was 28.

148. And now his body temperature is eight degrees.

149. You mean he's actually getting colder.

150. Like I said, we're a little

151. betwixt and between on how to go forward here.

152. We'd be happy to take your lead on it.

153. We'd be happy to take your lead on it.

154. I think we're going to need some time ourselves.

155. So, what's your medical opinion, Scully?

156. Well, my best guess would be

157. that he's been exposed to some kind of

158. chemical refrigerant like liquid nitrogen,

159. possibly even ingested it.

160. Well, you see what happens when you drink and drive?

161. I don't know what else to say, Mulder,

162. except that what this doesn't do is add any credence whatsoever

163. to the suspect's alibi that the old man was on the scene.

164. to the suspect's alibi that the old man was on the scene.

165. Maybe we should ask Jason Nichols if he can explain this.

166. What if he can't?

167. We'll just hope that he keeps until Thanksgiving.

168. This is serious, Jason.

169. This couldn't be more serious.

170. They're talking about charging you with second-degree murder.

171. I'll call you soon as I speak to the lawyer.

172. Are you from the FBI?

173. Yeah. Special Agent Mulder.

174. Is that your girlfriend?

175. Yeah.

176. Thanks for seeing me.

177. I know your attorney advised you against it,

178. I know your attorney advised you against it,

179. so I appreciate it.

180. I just want to talk to somebody who's going to listen to me—

181. somebody who's going to tell me they can find that old man.

182. There are people out there looking for him.

183. Who? Campus police?

184. I'm sure you know that the man

185. who allegedly detained the man you described is now dead.

186. So, are they going to try and blame me for that one, too?

187. Well, not unless you're capable of killing a man

188. by flash freezing him.

189. What?

190. The security officer who's now in the morgue

191. The security officer who's now in the morgue

192. has a body temperature a little south of Frosty the Snowman.

193. You think that's funny?

194. Do I think what's funny?

195. Coming in here and trying to screw with my head.

196. Does this have something to do with you and Lucas Menand?

197. Look, he's the one that had been threatening me, okay?

198. He threatened your life?

199. My reputation.

200. How'd he do that?

201. By saying he would go public

202. on his claim that I falsified data

203. on my research paper.

204. on my research paper.

205. Had you?

206. No.

207. The theory was sound.

208. If my interpretation of certain data was a little lax,

209. it's because I've been under pressure to produce results.

210. My NSA grant is up for renewal,

211. and Lucas knew how damaging his allegations would be.

212. Was Lucas Menand up for the same grant?

213. And what research would this grant have funded?

214. Cryobiology.

215. I study the effects of freezing temperatures

216. on biological systems.

217. Oh, excuse me.

218. Mulder.

219. Has Nichols said anything?

220. No, I'm right in the middle of it.

221. Well, I think we may be filing

222. a second murder charge against him.

223. Security officer?

224. I found Nichols's right thumbprint on his uniform,

225. I found Nichols's right thumbprint on his uniform,

226. and forensics also matched his with the prints they lifted

227. off the interior of the patrol car.

228. I think the old man in this story

229. is going to be Jason Nichols,

230. serving 25 to life in a federal prison.

231. Yes. Yes. I understand.

232. Thank you.

233. I'm sorry, sir.

234. There's nothing more we can do.

235. My name is Yonechi.

236. Yes, sir, you've told me.

237. But I'm not finding a reservation under that name.

238. But I'm not finding a reservation under that name.

239. But this is where I am supposed to stay.

240. I'm sorry, sir.

241. I don't know what else to tell you.

242. Dr. Yonechi?

243. Yes?

244. There's been a misunderstanding.

245. I'm afraid my assistant made a reservation

246. at the wrong hotel.

247. So, I came here myself to make sure you got a room.

248. It's a good room with a view of the river.

249. You are not, uh, Dr. Nichols.

250. He apologizes.

251. He was not able to be here to meet you himself,

252. He was not able to be here to meet you himself,

253. so he asked me to come in his place.

254. Excuse me, but who are you?

255. A great admirer of your work.

256. Here we go, sir.

257. Thank you.

258. After you, sir.

259. No, go ahead.

260. If you need anything, just give us a call.

261. Here you are, sir.

262. Have a good evening, sir.

263. Are you sick?

264. No, no, I'm... I'm fine. Thank you.

265. May I get you some water?

266. If it's no trouble.

267. Please, come in.

268. The, uh, mix-up with the reservation—

269. The, uh, mix-up with the reservation—

270. it was actually my fault.

271. Your fault?

272. But I owe you so much.

273. For what?

274. Your contribution to my work.

275. Vitrification.

276. You were the one who solved the problem.

277. Me? Mm-hmm.

278. No.

279. Not yet.

280. No one has solved vitrification.

281. Oh, yes, Yonni.

282. You found a way to substitute water

283. You found a way to substitute water

284. with a sugar—

285. trehalose.

286. Your paper...

287. it changed everything.

288. I am sorry, Yonni...

289. but this is the only way.

290. I just spoke with the bellman

291. who brought up the luggage.

292. What'd he say?

293. The ice man cometh— Dr. Yonechi

294. was accompanied by a man in his 70s.

295. It's a description confirmed by the desk clerk.

296. They're working with a composite artist on a sketch right now.

297. Sounds like Jason Nichols has an accomplice.

298. Sounds like Jason Nichols has an accomplice.

299. Sounds like that.

300. More than that, Mulder. It makes sense.

301. Science is a high-stakes game.

302. Jason Nichols is trying to eliminate his competitors,

303. and he's succeeding.

304. Yeah, but what if he's being set up?

305. He's a cryobiologist; he freezes things for a living.

306. How many people can do that?

307. Just about anybody who's up for that grant money could.

308. All right.

309. I want to show you something.

310. This is what's called a nuclear magnetic resident spectra.

311. Dr. Yonechi had a spot of blood on the heel of his hand—

312. a pinprick— something that might have been caused

313. a pinprick— something that might have been caused

314. by a small-gauge hypodermic needle.

315. Now, I found the same thing on the security officer,

316. and this is the analysis.

317. What is it?

318. Well, no one at the lab would even hazard a guess,

319. but we think it's some kind of

320. unidentifiable chemical compound.

321. A lethal injection?

322. You'll have to ask Jason Nichols.

323. No, there's somebody I want to talk to first.

324. Lisa Ianelli?

325. Sorry. I didn't mean to startle you.

326. No, I was working.

327. Sometimes you just get lost in it. Yeah.

328. You may remember me from this afternoon.

329. I spoke with Jason.

330. From the FBI.

331. I'm Agent Scully.

332. May I show you something?

333. Mm-hmm.

334. Where'd you get this?

335. You recognize it?

336. You recognize it?

337. Lisa, you can tell us now,

338. or we can subpoena your testimony in court.

339. Either way, we'll find out what you know about it.

340. It's a kind of catalyst.

341. A catalyst for what?

342. A self-sustaining endothermic reaction.

343. It's a rapid-freezing agent—

344. something Jason's been engineering for years.

345. See, when a cell freezes,

346. its moisture forms into ice crystals,

347. which literally grind up the cell from the inside out.

348. which literally grind up the cell from the inside out.

349. But extreme rapid freezing

350. causes a smoother, glass-like structure to form instead,

351. so the cell can survive being thawed—

352. at least according to Jason's theory.

353. This compound— has Jason actually tested it yet?

354. He hasn't tested it yet because it doesn't exist,

355. except in the computer.

356. So far, the work's been limited

357. to generating virtual chemicals, like this.

358. In fact, what we're looking at here

359. is a version of the catalyst you brought me.

360. Is it possible that he could have synthesized

361. Is it possible that he could have synthesized

362. the compound without you knowing about it?

363. Not even remotely.

364. The technology to engineer something like that

365. is still five, ten years away, minimum.

366. Not anymore, apparently.

367. What are you talking about?

368. Traces of the compound

369. were detected in a man

370. who was found dead last night— frozen solid.

371. Then there must be some kind of mistake.

372. And a Dr. Yonechi was also found frozen to death.

373. What?

374. In his heated hotel room.

375. When was this?

376. Just over two hours ago.

377. Just over two hours ago.

378. Why is that relevant?

379. Because he may not be dead.

380. What's his temp?

381. His core temperature is up to 97.

382. Okay.

383. Let's take him out.

384. And then what?

385. We've got to try to resuscitate him.

386. Let's go.

387. All right, on my count—

388. one, two, three.

389. This isn't going to work.

390. Why not?

391. His body temperature was eight degrees.

392. The lowest reported body temperature

393. ever survived by a human being was 70.

394. Well, if he's already dead, then he's got nothing to lose.

395. Okay, we're hooked up here.

396. All right, Dr. Ianelli,

397. we're going to start with 300 joules

398. and an amp of epi.

399. Is the cardial epi ready?

400. And in.

401. Charging.

402. Charging.

403. Clear. Clear.

404. Still no pulse. Go to 360.

405. Clear. Clear.

406. No response.

407. Give him another amp of intracardial epi

408. and atropine one milligram.

409. Try again at 360.

410. Clear. Clear.

411. He's got a rhythm.

412. Dr. Yonechi?

413. You're in a prototype frostbite bay

414. in Cambridge, Mass.

415. You've been unconscious for almost 12 hours.

416. Dr. Yonechi?

417. My name is Lisa Ianelli.

418. Don't try and talk right now.

419. We've inserted a tube down your throat

420. to help you breathe.

421. Try not to fight the machine.

422. Let it breathe for you.

423. Something's wrong.

424. Scully.

425. Scully.

426. Look at his temperature.

427. Oh, my God, he's on fire.

428. He's having febrile seizures.

429. This can't be right.

430. He's burning up.

431. Hold him down.

432. Hold him down!

433. Oh, my God!

434. Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

435. We were trying to resuscitate him

436. from a severe hypothermic state.

437. Okay.

438. Okay.

439. These seem to be all right, though.

440. Lisa, what happened?

441. I mean, what could have happened

442. to create such a violent cellular reaction?

443. I don't know.

444. All I can think is

445. the compound used to freeze him must have been unstable.

446. So raising his body temperature

447. may have catalyzed an opposite reaction,

448. heating him internally.

449. Mm-hmm.

450. I question now if we should have removed him from the tub.

451. I think we might have saved him.

452. I think we might have saved him.

453. I think the real question is how somebody could've had access

454. to a compound that doesn't exist.

455. I'm sorry.

456. I need to talk to Jason.

457. Excuse me.

458. Watch it!

459. Who are you?

460. I said, who are you?

461. What do you want?

462. Why are you following me?

463. Unless I'm mistaken, you're the one following me.

464. I saw you outside.

465. I'm afraid you're confusing me with someone else.

466. You're the man Jason saw, aren't you?

467. You killed Lucas Menand and Dr. Yonechi.

468. And I can kill you.

469. Let go of me.

470. I came here... to kill you.

471. Who are you?

472. You say he followed you off the bus?

473. Yes. I noticed him just before my stop.

474. And you were on your way to see Jason?

475. Yes. I confronted him

476. inside the library.

477. He followed me in there.

478. And then he grabbed me, hurt my arm.

479. What did he say?

480. That he could kill me—

481. that that's why he was following me.

482. He threatened me with some kind of medical instrument.

483. He threatened me with some kind of medical instrument.

484. But he just let you go?

485. Lisa, if you're leaving anything out,

486. if you're hedging the truth,

487. you could be held accountable if Jason committed a crime.

488. It wasn't Jason.

489. It was me.

490. I falsified the data to get the grant.

491. Jason's covering for me.

492. He's sitting in jail because of me.

493. That's what he can't tell anyone?

494. But there are people who could have figured it out:

495. But there are people who could have figured it out:

496. Lucas Menand, Dr. Yonechi.

497. These people are now dead.

498. No, it's not what you think.

499. You know who this old man is, don't you?

500. I don't. I swear to you.

501. But Jason does— he has to—

502. because this man is doing what Jason can't:

503. he's protecting your secret.

504. He swore to me he would never confess it to a soul.

505. If he'd lie for you, what makes you think

506. he wouldn't lie to you?

507. Scully?

508. Doesn't really make sense, Scully.

509. Why would he threaten her if she's the one

510. who's protecting his secret?

511. Because it's not just her secret;

512. it's Jason's secret, too.

513. And the old man is protecting Jason.

514. With a medical instrument?

515. I suppose it is an unlikely choice

516. as a murder weapon.

517. And what if it's not a murder weapon?

518. I'm just speculating, but what if it was designed

519. for some other purpose?

520. Agent Mulder?

521. We're canvassing the area.

522. Hotel manager from a couple blocks away

523. Hotel manager from a couple blocks away

524. thinks he's made your guy.

525. It's on McKinney Street.

526. Hotel's called The Lighthouse.

527. Tell the unit to keep watch until we get there.

528. Make sure she gets home safe.

529. Federal agents, sir.

530. Open the door.

531. Are you sure this is the room?

532. Hotel manager says

533. he's been living here for five days.

534. I'm not sure if "living" is the word I'd use on this place.

535. Yonechi's flight information was taken down on this pad.

536. Hey, look at this.

537. When was this taken?

538. What's the occasion?

539. A celebration, but of what?

540. A celebration, but of what?

541. Of something that never happened.

542. What?

543. Mulder, this is a photograph—

544. it is a documented moment in time.

545. In a future that somebody's trying like hell

546. to prevent from happening.

547. What? Think about it, Scully.

548. If Lucas Menand never gets hit by that bus,

549. his complaint gets heard before the grant committee.

550. Jason Nichols loses his funding and he never gets to collaborate

551. on his research with Dr. Yonechi.

552. Therefore, this photograph never gets taken

553. because this celebration never happens.

554. And if your sister is your aunt and your mother

555. marries your uncle, you'd be your own grandpa.

556. marries your uncle, you'd be your own grandpa.

557. The old man couldn't save Lucas Menand,

558. so he had to kill Dr. Yonechi.

559. Okay, so this photo that was

560. never taken, when was it never taken?

561. At least five years in the future,

562. when they first synthesized

563. the freezing compound successfully.

564. Let's take the stairs.

565. Mulder, the compound already exists.

566. We have physical evidence.

567. Only because the old man brought it back with him.

568. Back from where?

569. From when may be the real question.

570. You're seriously suggesting

571. this old man is back from the future?

572. Unless you have a better explanation

573. for how he knew exactly when and how

574. for how he knew exactly when and how

575. Lucas Menand was going to be killed,

576. why Jason Nichols' fingerprints are inside that patrol car,

577. and how he knew Lisa Ianelli's secret.

578. So what you're saying here is the old man is...

579. Jason Nichols.

580. Although common sense

581. may rule out the possibility of time travel,

582. the laws of quantum physics certainly do not.

583. In case you forgot, that's from your graduate thesis.

584. You were a lot more open-minded when you were a youngster.

585. I know what I wrote, Mulder.

586. I also know that the laws of physics would permit

587. the theoretical possibility of time travel, but the limits

588. of human endurance would prevent such a trip from ever happening.

589. of human endurance would prevent such a trip from ever happening.

590. Well, there's one sure way

591. to prove that theoretical possibility.

592. How? Show this photograph

593. to Lisa Ianelli and ask her if it was ever taken.

594. Jason?

595. I don't understand.

596. How is this possible?

597. Because you made it possible.

598. It was you.

599. How?

600. How?

601. I need to know.

602. 30 years ago...

603. ten years from now, you'll be

604. at a conference in Zurich.

605. You'll meet a man named McGuane who's just discovered

606. the first evidence of tachyons—

607. subatomic particles that can travel

608. faster than the speed of light

609. and go back in time,

610. but only for a few seconds

611. and only at a temperature of absolute zero.

612. and only at a temperature of absolute zero.

613. But from that...

614. and from your correspondence with McGuane,

615. you'll have an idea...

616. a revelation.

617. What revelation?

618. One so remarkable...

619. it would change the course of history.

620. Then why did you...?

621. You said you came back to kill me.

622. But I couldn't do it.

623. You're cold.

624. Jason...

625. Yes?

626. Sign here.

627. Jason.

628. What are you doing here?

629. I arranged for your bail.

630. I assumed it was Lisa.

631. No, that's why I'm here; something's happened to her.

632. What are you talking about?

633. I think it's something you should see for yourself.

634. She's at the medical research facility.

635. Was it the old man?

636. Yes.

637. Why haven't you found him yet?

638. Who the hell is he? Look, Jason,

639. I don't expect you to get your mind around this

640. completely right now.

641. What?

642. The man we're looking for—

643. The man we're looking for—

644. the old man?

645. He's you.

646. If that photo is indicative

647. of a pattern, you may be his next target.

648. Puts a whole new spin

649. on being your own worst enemy, huh?

650. Except that I've never met Dr. Yonechi,

651. and neither has Lisa.

652. So this must have been altered somehow.

653. Not according to the photo specialist

654. that I had examine it.

655. As far as she can tell, it's the real McCoy.

656. Then maybe you should get a second opinion,

657. Then maybe you should get a second opinion,

658. because I'm not buying your story.

659. Jason, it's your story.

660. It's science fiction.

661. So was your rapid-freezing agent until two days ago.

662. Why don't you just consider the evidence

663. as a scientist.

664. How could the old man come to possess a compound

665. that you yourself admit doesn't exist?

666. Whoever he is, why would he be trying to prevent my compound

667. from being developed?

668. I'm not sure of that yet.

669. But you have a theory.

670. Well,

671. I think it has something to do

672. I think it has something to do

673. with the practical application of your compound,

674. though I don't know what that is yet.

675. Involving time travel?

676. Physicists like Stephen Hawking have hypothesized the existence

677. of wormholes and closed time loops— actual portals

678. through which matter can travel backward through time—

679. although phenomena like extreme heat

680. and gravity would render the trip lethal for any organism.

681. So you're saying the properties of my compound

682. will make it possible?

683. Eventually, yes— that's what I'm saying.

684. But why stop time travel?

685. But why stop time travel?

686. That's what I'm hoping the old man can tell us.

687. Agent Mulder, if any of this is true,

688. then what happened to Lisa...

689. is really my fault.

690. We're going up to the cryolab.

691. Mm-hmm.

692. Mm-hmm.

693. Hey, wait a second.

694. Are you Dr. Jason Nichols?

695. That's right.

696. Then something's wrong.

697. It says you're already in the building.

698. Listen to me, Jason, I need you

699. to get to Scully and tell her that he's here.

700. She's in the frostbite bay with Lisa.

701. Can you do that?

702. All right.

703. Clear.

704. Clear. (monitor flatlines)

705. Let's give her another amp of epinephrine,

706. and we'll go again at 360.

707. Charging.

708. Epi given.

709. Clear.

710. Everybody clear.

711. Increase the DMSO.

712. We have a rhythm. Pulse.

713. Now what?

714. Get her back in the tub.

715. Now.

716. All right, let's disconnect

717. and get her back in, right away.

718. Here we go. Let's go.

719. All right, here we go.

720. Easy.

721. How hot's it reading now?

722. 106.

723. 107.

724. Is there a problem?

725. Has anybody been through here in the last hour?

726. Well, there was a maintenance guy who fixed the fan,

727. but other than that, it's just been me.

728. I'm looking for an older man— a man in his mid-70s maybe.

729. No, I haven't seen anybody like that.

730. Why? Does this have something to do with Dr. Nichols?

731. Do you work with him?

732. I'm one of his research assistants.

733. You have access to his files?

734. You have access to his files?

735. Yeah.

736. I'd like to pull up some information

737. about his rapid-freezing compound.

738. Mulder.

739. We've resuscitated her, Mulder.

740. Her body temperature is still high,

741. but it seems to have stabilized.

742. Oh. Did Jason help?

743. He's not here.

744. He should have been there five minutes ago, Scully.

745. Where are you?

746. Oh, this is crazy.

747. Mulder?

748. Let me get back to you, Scully.

749. What?

750. What?

751. It's Dr. Nichols's files.

752. They're totally whacked.

753. What do you mean, "whacked"?

754. His data— it's gone.

755. It's like somebody's completely erased it from the mainframe.

756. I knew I'd find you here.

757. I knew I'd find you here.

758. I figured this is where I'd go to stop myself.

759. I don't have much time.

760. Please, let me finish.

761. Let you finish destroying my work?

762. It's my work, too.

763. I want her back.

764. I know.

765. Then tell me how to go back, so I can save her... please.

766. Then tell me how to go back, so I can save her... please.

767. I don't expect you to understand.

768. Understand what?

769. What she created, what you...

770. we helped to create—

771. a world without history...

772. without hope...

773. where anyone can know everything that will ever happen.

774. I've seen that world.

775. Tell me how to go back.

776. Tell me how to go back.

777. I can't.

778. You will!

779. Tell me!

780. No! Jason! Try to understand!

781. Jason!

782. Tell me how to go back so I can save her!

783. Jason!

784. She's alive!

785. Lisa's alive!

786. Don't hurt him!

787. If you hurt him,

788. we'll never know the truth!

789. Open the door.

790. She's okay?

791. It's better that we never were.

792. No!

793. Lisa? It's Dana Scully.

794. Can you hear me?

795. You're going to be fine.

796. We knew to keep you submerged

797. in order to maintain your body temperature.

798. After what happened to Dr. Yonechi,

799. your theory about the compound's instability—

800. well, you've proved it yourself.

801. He said... he said he was Jason.

802. The old man?

803. Look, there's been some incongruous evidence

804. I've had difficulty explaining myself.

805. It was him.

806. Agent Scully, he was Jason.

807. Lisa, Jason's dead.

808. There was a fire in the mainframe room.

809. I'm sorry.

810. I'll see you at the hospital.

811. They find the second corpse?

812. No, and I'm not holding out

813. much hope that they will either.

814. We should put out an APB on the old man.

815. They won't find him.

816. I know what I saw, Scully,

817. I know what I saw, Scully,

818. and I know what I believe happened.

819. Even if it can never be proven?

820. Never?

821. Never is a very long time, Scully.

822. You said that yourself.

823. "Although multidimensionality suggests infinite outcomes

824. "in an infinite number of universes,

825. each universe can produce only one outcome."

826. I was 23 when I wrote that.

827. Yeah, but I take that to mean that you were suggesting

828. that the future can't be altered,

829. which means that the elder Jason Nichols' attempts

830. to stop his own research will fail

831. to stop his own research will fail

832. and that eventually his compound and time travel

833. will be discovered.

834. I made this!
