1. Time passes in moments.
Copy !req
2. Moments which, rushing past,
define the path of a life,
Copy !req
3. just as surely as they lead towards its end.
Copy !req
4. How rarely do we stop to examine that path.
Copy !req
5. To see the reasons why all things happen.
Copy !req
6. To consider whether the path
we take in life is our own making,
Copy !req
7. or simply one into which
we drift with eyes closed.
Copy !req
8. But what if we could stop?
Copy !req
9. Pause to take stock of each
precious moment before it passes.
Copy !req
10. Might we then see the endless forks
in the road that have shaped a life,
Copy !req
11. and, seeing those choices,
choose another path?
Copy !req
12. I got the lab to rush the results of...
Copy !req
13. I got the lab to rush the results
of the Szezesny autopsy, if you're interested.
Copy !req
14. - I heard you, Scully.
- And Szezesny did indeed drown.
Copy !req
15. But not as the result of the inhalation of
ectoplasm, as you so vehemently suggested.
Copy !req
16. What else could she have drowned in?
Copy !req
17. Margarita mix. Up-chucked with
about 40 ounces of Corcovado Gold tequila,
Copy !req
18. which, as it turns out, she and her friends
rapidly consumed in the woods
Copy !req
19. while re-enacting The Blair Witch Project.
Copy !req
20. I think that demands
deeper investigation, don't you?
Copy !req
21. No, I don't.
Copy !req
22. Well, it doesn't matter.
We got bigger fish to fry.
Copy !req
23. Have a seat, Scully. Check this out.
Is that beautiful or what?
Copy !req
24. - Crop circles, Mulder?
- Computer-generated crop circles.
Copy !req
25. It's a fractal image predicted by a computer
Copy !req
26. using data of every known occurrence
of the phenomena over the past 40 years.
Copy !req
27. What most people don't realize
is that since 1991,
Copy !req
28. there's been a dramatic increase
in the size and complexity of circle design.
Copy !req
29. That's when the Mandelbrot set appeared
in England - geometrically perfect rings
Copy !req
30. appearing almost impossibly overnight
in a field near Cambridge.
Copy !req
31. But that was merely a prelude
of what was to come.
Copy !req
32. Three years later, in 1994, even more
complex formations occurred simultaneously
Copy !req
33. on opposite ends of the English countryside
with the Mandelbrot set still at its center.
Copy !req
34. Then, in 1997, even more
complex formations occurred...
Copy !req
35. And I'm not wearing any pants right now.
Copy !req
36. - Hm?
- You're not listening.
Copy !req
37. I am.
Copy !req
38. I guess I just don't see the point.
Copy !req
39. The point is that a computer
programme has shown us
Copy !req
40. that these are not just random
coincidental occurrences.
Copy !req
41. And that programme has predicted
that in just48 hours
Copy !req
42. even more complex formations
will be laid down near Avebury.
Copy !req
43. 48 hours, Scully, but I wouldn't mind
gettin' there earlier, if you don't mind.
Copy !req
44. - Getting where?
- England. I got two tickets on a 5.30 flight.
Copy !req
45. I have to go to the hospital and finish the
paperwork on that autopsy you had me do.
Copy !req
46. And, to be honest, it's Saturday and
I wouldn't mind, I don't know, taking a bath.
Copy !req
47. - What the hell does that mean?
- I'm not interested in tracking down
Copy !req
48. some sneaky farmers who happened
to ace geometry in high school.
Copy !req
49. And besides, I mean, what could you
possibly get out of this? Or learn?
Copy !req
50. I mean, it's not even remotely FBI-related.
Copy !req
51. I'll just cancel your ticket.
Copy !req
52. Thanks for lunch.
Copy !req
53. Mulder... Look, we're always running.
Copy !req
54. We're always chasing the next big thing.
Why don't you ever just stay still?
Copy !req
55. I wouldn't know what I'd be missing.
Copy !req
56. My name is Dana Scully and I was told
I could pick up a postmortem folder
Copy !req
57. for a Miss Szezesny here. It's for the FBI.
Copy !req
58. Let's see. Oh.
Copy !req
59. Just sign here, please?
Copy !req
60. Thank you.
Copy !req
61. Hi, um, I was given the wrong test results.
Copy !req
62. This x-ray marked D Waterston
was in the envelope marked Szezesny.
Copy !req
63. - I was expecting autopsy results.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
Copy !req
64. They must have gotten switched.
Copy !req
65. - Sorry for the inconvenience.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
66. Is the, urn... is the D Waterston that was
on the x-ray, is that a Dr Daniel Waterston?
Copy !req
67. Waterston, Waterston... Yes, it is. Admitted
yesterday. Coronary Care Unit, room 306.
Copy !req
68. Thank you.
Copy !req
69. I'm sorry. I don't know what else to say.
Copy !req
70. Everything appears to be as it should
under the circumstances, so don't worry.
Copy !req
71. If you'd like, I can show you
the hospital cafeteria.
Copy !req
72. I guess... yeah, OK.
Copy !req
73. Are there phones down there too?
I need to make some phone calls.
Copy !req
74. Excuse me.
Copy !req
75. - Can I help you with something?
- Um, I'm sorry. I'm Dr Scully.
Copy !req
76. - I was just in the hospital and...
- Can we step into the hallway?
Copy !req
77. Yeah.
Copy !req
78. I'm Dr Waterston's cardiologist, Paul Kopekin.
Did you say your name was Scully?
Copy !req
79. - Uh, yes. Dana Scully.
- Dr Waterston's mentioned you.
Copy !req
80. - I'm sorry. You must be mistaken.
- You were a student of his, right?
Copy !req
81. He has a heart condition?
Copy !req
82. Dr Waterston came in yesterday
with severe chest pains.
Copy !req
83. And he ordered us to do
an echo cardiogram and a biopsy
Copy !req
84. because he'd had symptoms of an
upper-respiratory infection the week before.
Copy !req
85. - Fortunately, it was the right call.
- Then it's serious.
Copy !req
86. But treatable. I have to
wake him up soon, if you'd care to...
Copy !req
87. - No, that's all right. But thanks for your time.
- He must have been a wonderful teacher.
Copy !req
88. I've been following his work on
constrictive pericarditis for years now.
Copy !req
89. Yes.
Copy !req
90. He's a remarkable man.
Copy !req
91. - Hello?
- You came to see him.
Copy !req
92. - I'm sorry, who is this?
- Margaret Waterston.
Copy !req
93. Maggie. Is everything all right?
Copy !req
94. That depends, doesn't it?
Copy !req
95. - I'm sorry?
- Whatever.
Copy !req
96. Dr Kopekin told my father you were here,
and now he wants to see you.
Copy !req
97. - About what?
- Look, he asked me to call, so I'm calling.
Copy !req
98. I don't know, Maggie.
I don't know if I've got time.
Copy !req
99. Don't know if you have the time.
Copy !req
100. Can you hang on?
I have another call coming through.
Copy !req
101. Listen, it's your choice. But if you come,
it doesn't mean I accept you being in his life.
Copy !req
102. Hello?
Copy !req
103. - I'll never see you again.
- Hello?
Copy !req
104. - You're breaking my heart.
- Hey, you're there?
Copy !req
105. - Hey.
- Aren't you supposed to be on a plane?
Copy !req
106. - I got a 5.30 flight, remember?
- Right. I guess I lost track of time.
Copy !req
107. Listen, the reason I called...
Am I catching you at a bad time?
Copy !req
108. No, I just walked in. Why?
Copy !req
109. There's this group in DC
that is researching crop circles,
Copy !req
110. and they've got a different set
of coordinates from the one I got.
Copy !req
111. - Mulder, I'm not going.
- I gotta ask you a favour.
Copy !req
112. One of them lives near the hospital,
Copy !req
113. and they've got these sensitive photos
and data they won't fax to me.
Copy !req
114. So I was just wondering if you would
just maybe go over there and get it.
Copy !req
115. Speak to me, Scully.
Copy !req
116. - I'm out for the evening, Mulder.
- Why didn't you say so in the first place?
Copy !req
117. Look, why don't you leave that address
on my answering machine and I'll try for you.
Copy !req
118. I'm sorry. I have the wrong room.
Copy !req
119. It's OK.
Copy !req
120. Hi.
Copy !req
121. So, I have to lock eyes with the devil
for you to grace me with your presence?
Copy !req
122. Surely not the devil.
Copy !req
123. How are you feeling, Daniel?
Copy !req
124. It's a real drag when the body
doesn't wanna play any more.
Copy !req
125. You're lucky you called that diagnosis.
Copy !req
126. Luck has nothing to do with it.
It's what doctors do every day.
Copy !req
127. - You may have forgotten that.
- Daniel...
Copy !req
128. So, how did you happen
to be here in Washington?
Copy !req
129. That's a long story.
Copy !req
130. - How's the FBI?
- Is that why you wanted to see me?
Copy !req
131. To remind me once again
what a bad choice I made?
Copy !req
132. Believe me, my motivation
is far more selfish than that.
Copy !req
133. - You scare me, Daniel.
- I know.
Copy !req
134. I scare you.
Copy !req
135. Because I represent that which is ingrained
not only in your mind but in your heart.
Copy !req
136. That which you secretly long for.
Copy !req
137. - You never accepted my reason for leaving.
- It wasn't a reason. It was an excuse.
Copy !req
138. But you understood why.
Copy !req
139. I can't believe the FBI is a passion.
Not like medicine.
Copy !req
140. I'm sorry I came.
Copy !req
141. I just wanted to make sure you were OK.
Copy !req
142. I know how difficult it must have been
for you, just walking through that door.
Copy !req
143. But you wouldn't have come
if you didn't want to.
Copy !req
144. That says something, doesn't it?
Copy !req
145. - Scully.
- I was about to leave you a message.
Copy !req
146. Listen, I got that address
that I wanted you to go to for me.
Copy !req
147. It's a woman you'll be dealing with. She's
with the American Taoist Healing Center.
Copy !req
148. And she researches crop circles?
Copy !req
149. Don't roll your eyes, Scully.
Copy !req
150. Mulder, you want me to...
Copy !req
151. Scully?
Copy !req
152. Scully, are you there?
Copy !req
153. Hi, I... You were...
Copy !req
154. - At the hospital today.
- Right. That's strange.
Copy !req
155. Um, I'm Agent Scully.
I'm here on behalf of my partner.
Copy !req
156. - About my research?
- For the FBI, as odd as that may sound.
Copy !req
157. I'm Colleen Azar. Would you like to come in?
Copy !req
158. No, thank you. I'm...
I think I need some fresh air.
Copy !req
159. - Are you all right?
- Yes. I mean, yes. I'm just a little shaken.
Copy !req
160. A near car accident, I think.
It's nothing, really.
Copy !req
161. - A car accident isn't nothing.
- I'm sorry?
Copy !req
162. They're often the end results
of us not paying attention to something.
Copy !req
163. Look, I don't mean to be rude,
but I really don't have much time.
Copy !req
164. Sure. I'll go get my papers.
Copy !req
165. You think what we do
is a little ridiculous, don't you?
Copy !req
166. Uh, to be honest, I don't know
exactly what it is that you do.
Copy !req
167. But you've already
formed a judgment about it.
Copy !req
168. I really should be going.
Copy !req
169. There is a greater intelligence in all things.
Copy !req
170. Accidents or near accidents
Copy !req
171. often remind us that we need to keep
our mind open to the lessons it gives.
Copy !req
172. You may wanna slow down.
Copy !req
173. Hello?
Copy !req
174. - Ah, Hurricane Scully has arrived.
- I was summoned.
Copy !req
175. Would you please tell the doc here
why he should listen to me?
Copy !req
176. We've already agreed to doses of digoxin
far beyond what I'd normally recommend.
Copy !req
177. I guarantee you, Doctor,
you're doing it right.
Copy !req
178. I can't be responsible for drugs
that might exacerbate your illness.
Copy !req
179. There hasn't been a double-blind
analysis of prednisone's effect.
Copy !req
180. Prednisone? That won't complicate cardiac
arrhythmia. Not if it's just a short burst.
Copy !req
181. There. An informed opinion.
Copy !req
182. You come off so rational.
But maybe you know less than you think.
Copy !req
183. She's been through some difficult times.
Copy !req
184. And she's very angry.
Copy !req
185. How did she even find out?
Copy !req
186. There are things you don't know.
Things I'm not proud of.
Copy !req
187. - What things?
- I screwed up, Dana.
Copy !req
188. Things got bad at home after...
Copy !req
189. - Bad how?
- I haven't been completely honest with you.
Copy !req
190. It was hard for me...
Copy !req
191. when you walked away.
Copy !req
192. I shut down from my family.
Copy !req
193. Needless to say,
it was very difficult for Barbara.
Copy !req
194. You divorced?
Copy !req
195. Only after an interminable period
of discomfort for us both.
Copy !req
196. Where did you go?
Copy !req
197. Here. Washington.
Copy !req
198. - When?
- Almost ten years ago.
Copy !req
199. Daniel.
Copy !req
200. You didn't move here for me?
Copy !req
201. - I didn't mean for it to happen this way.
- Oh, God.
Copy !req
202. - You've come at such a strange time.
- I know, I know. You have a life.
Copy !req
203. I don't know what I have.
Copy !req
204. I mean...
Copy !req
205. Your x-rays were in the wrong envelope. I
only knew you were here because of a mix-up.
Copy !req
206. It's just...
Copy !req
207. What do you want, Dana?
Copy !req
208. I want everything I should want
at this time of my life.
Copy !req
209. Maybe I want the life I didn't choose.
Copy !req
210. Nurse!
Copy !req
211. We have a code in here!
Copy !req
212. Nurse!
Copy !req
213. He's in V-fib. Get his head.
Copy !req
214. - 200 joules. All clear?
- Clear.
Copy !req
215. - No pulse, no resp.
- 300 joules.
Copy !req
216. - Clear!
- Clear.
Copy !req
217. - No pulse, no resp.
- Epinephrine, one milligram IV push.
Copy !req
218. - Now! Who's paying attention!
- Ready.
Copy !req
219. - Clear!
- Clear.
Copy !req
220. We have a pulse.
Copy !req
221. OK.
Copy !req
222. Thank you.
Copy !req
223. - Hi. Can I help you?
- Um, I'm looking for Colleen.
Copy !req
224. - You wanna come in?
- I just need to speak with her, that's all.
Copy !req
225. - I have to go.
- Call me if anything interesting happens.
Copy !req
226. I'm surprised to see you again.
Copy !req
227. I'm sorry that I was rude before.
I'm a medical doctor and a scientist.
Copy !req
228. And you're right,
I don't know what it is that you do.
Copy !req
229. But there was something you said
I wanted to ask about.
Copy !req
230. About slowing down?
Copy !req
231. Would you like to sit down?
Copy !req
232. Please.
Copy !req
233. I have a friend who's ill.
Copy !req
234. And I had a strange feeling today,
just a short while ago actually,
Copy !req
235. that he may be dying from a more
serious condition than anyone realizes.
Copy !req
236. You sense something.
Copy !req
237. Holistic practitioners believe,
as do many Eastern religions,
Copy !req
238. that living beings exist beyond
the physical dimensions of time and space.
Copy !req
239. That we're composed of layers
of energy and consciousness.
Copy !req
240. You've probably
heard it referred to as an aura.
Copy !req
241. Mm... yes.
Copy !req
242. Witness this energy field, and truths come out
that have little to do with scientific proof,
Copy !req
243. and much to do with faith.
Copy !req
244. What are you saying that I saw?
Copy !req
245. Pain. And where there's pain,
there's a need for healing.
Copy !req
246. - Physically, mentally or spiritually.
- But he has a heart condition.
Copy !req
247. When we hold on to shame, and guilt,
and fear, it creates imbalance.
Copy !req
248. It makes us forget who we are.
Copy !req
249. This is difficult for you to accept.
Copy !req
250. Would you like to have some tea?
Copy !req
251. Have you ever had moments
when everything gets incredibly clear?
Copy !req
252. When time seems to expand?
Copy !req
253. Yes.
Copy !req
254. That's so strange.
Copy !req
255. You may be more open
to things than you think.
Copy !req
256. It's just a matter of what you do with it.
Copy !req
257. I used to be a physicist.
Copy !req
258. I was successful in my field,
working 80-odd hours a week...
Copy !req
259. I thought I was happy. Truth is,
I was cut off from the world and from myself.
Copy !req
260. I was literally dying inside.
Copy !req
261. I was in a relationship with Carol,
who you met.
Copy !req
262. But I was so afraid of what the world and my
family and my fellow scientists would think
Copy !req
263. that I told no one.
Copy !req
264. Then, two years ago,
I was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Copy !req
265. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
266. Don't be. It's the cancer that got my attention.
Copy !req
267. It got me off
the self-destructive path I was on.
Copy !req
268. I realized I was in a field
that had little meaning for me.
Copy !req
269. It's what's allowed me to be happy
for what feels like the first time in my life.
Copy !req
270. But how?
Copy !req
271. I was introduced to a healer, who
helped me see the disease for what it was.
Copy !req
272. It wasn't until I began releasing shame
that my cancer went into remission.
Copy !req
273. You still aren't sure.
Copy !req
274. You came here looking for answers and
you want something to take back with you.
Copy !req
275. Everything happens for a reason.
Copy !req
276. - Are you happy?
- I'm sorry?
Copy !req
277. I... I was just going up to see your father.
Copy !req
278. - You can't. He's in a coma.
- Since when?
Copy !req
279. Since about two minutes after
you supposedly saved his life.
Copy !req
280. Do you have any idea the hell
you've created in our lives?
Copy !req
281. Maggie, to be honest, I left
so there wouldn't be hell in your lives.
Copy !req
282. Don't try to be reasonable with me.
I am so sick of being reasonable.
Copy !req
283. You moved on, but we've had
to live with what you left behind.
Copy !req
284. What I try to do is clear the body's
energy channels, what we call chakras,
Copy !req
285. which can become barriers to a doctor's
ability to effectively heal the patient.
Copy !req
286. When these channels are working improperly,
from poor physical or emotional health,
Copy !req
287. the block creates conditions for disease.
Copy !req
288. If I can unblock the energy, then I can
prevent the onset or escalation of an illness.
Copy !req
289. What's going on here?
Copy !req
290. Dr Scully, who do you think you are?
Copy !req
291. We have nothing but
Dr Waterston's welfare in mind here.
Copy !req
292. - You're not his doctor.
- I understand that.
Copy !req
293. What's taking place here
is an alternative approach.
Copy !req
294. What's taking place here is a waste of time.
Copy !req
295. Dr Waterston would be
the first to agree with me.
Copy !req
296. - Have you considered that?
- I just wanted to help him.
Copy !req
297. - It seemed like nothing else was working.
- With respect, that is not for you to assess.
Copy !req
298. That is for me or
Dr Waterston's family to decide.
Copy !req
299. Then let 'em continue.
Copy !req
300. If it isn't hurting him,
we should at least be open to it.
Copy !req
301. I'm afraid there's
nothing more I can do at this time.
Copy !req
302. This man, quite frankly, is ready to move on.
But something seems to be holding him back.
Copy !req
303. Unfinished business is binding him to
this plane. Something he needs to release...
Copy !req
304. before he can let go.
Copy !req
305. Speak to me.
Copy !req
306. - Hello.
- It's Maggie.
Copy !req
307. I need you to come to the hospital now.
Copy !req
308. Maggie, what...
Copy !req
309. Daniel?
Copy !req
310. You think I'd give up so easily?
Copy !req
311. You were slipping away.
Copy !req
312. No one thought you'd come out of this.
Copy !req
313. - I'm still in shock.
- Imagine my shock
Copy !req
314. when my doctor told me
of the voodoo ritual you arranged last night.
Copy !req
315. - I was afraid it didn't work.
- Of course it didn't work.
Copy !req
316. Don't be absurd.
Where did you get this crap?
Copy !req
317. Daniel, that crap may have just saved
your life, whether you are open to it or not.
Copy !req
318. That doesn't matter.
I don't want to talk about that.
Copy !req
319. Look at me.
Copy !req
320. I'm gonna get well.
Copy !req
321. And we need to talk about
what happens next for us.
Copy !req
322. I spoke at length to Maggie.
Copy !req
323. It's time that you took responsibility
for the hurt you caused in your family.
Copy !req
324. It's no accident that you got sick, Daniel.
Copy !req
325. You've been running
from the truth for ten years.
Copy !req
326. Dana, it was only to be with you.
Copy !req
327. You were all I lived for.
Copy !req
328. Maybe the reason you're alive now
is to make up for that.
Copy !req
329. To make it up to Maggie.
Copy !req
330. That's Maggie talking, not you.
Copy !req
331. No.
Copy !req
332. I'm not the same person, Daniel.
Copy !req
333. I wouldn't have known that
if I hadn't seen you again.
Copy !req
334. Excuse me!
Copy !req
335. Hey.
Copy !req
336. - Mulder?
- I was just looking for you.
Copy !req
337. But you're supposed to be in England.
Copy !req
338. - I'm back.
- What happened?
Copy !req
339. Nothing. There was no event,
no crop circles. Big waste of time.
Copy !req
340. Maybe sometimes
nothing happens for a reason, Mulder.
Copy !req
341. - What is that supposed to mean?
- Nothing.
Copy !req
342. Come on, I'll make you some tea.
Copy !req
343. - I just find it hard to believe.
- What part?
Copy !req
344. The part where I go away for two days
and your whole life changes.
Copy !req
345. I didn't say my whole life changed.
Copy !req
346. You speaking to God in a Buddhist temple,
God speaking back...
Copy !req
347. And I didn't say that God spoke back.
I said that I had some kind of a vision.
Copy !req
348. Well, for you that's like saying
you're having David Crosby's baby.
Copy !req
349. What is it?
Copy !req
350. I once considered
spending my whole life with this man.
Copy !req
351. What I would have missed.
Copy !req
352. Who knows? How many different lives would
we be leading if we made different choices?
Copy !req
353. We... we don't know.
Copy !req
354. What if there was only one choice?
Copy !req
355. All the other ones were wrong,
Copy !req
356. and there were signs
along the way to pay attention to.
Copy !req
357. Then all the choices would
then lead to this very moment.
Copy !req
358. One wrong turn and
we wouldn't be sitting here together.
Copy !req
359. Well, that says a lot.
Copy !req
360. It says a lot, a lot, a lot. Probably more than
we should be getting into at this late hour.
Copy !req
361. I made this!
Copy !req
