MULDER'S DESPERATE SEARCH FOR HIS SISTER TAKES ON NEW URGENCY AS HE CHASES THE ONE MAN WHO MAY KNOW HER WHEREABOUTS INTO THE ARCTIC WASTES. SCULLY ENLISTS SKINNER'S AID TO FIND HIM.

Mulder faces an excruciating choice when he is forced to ransom his partner by turning over the woman he believes is his sister to the alien assassin. Guilt-ridden, he must answer to his father for losing his sister yet again, bringing more grief upon his family. But his further search turns up a surprising secret about "Samantha," leading him on a quest that takes him literally to the ends of the earth. Scully must enlist the aid of Assistant Director Skinner to rescue him before the alien assassin kills him. In the frozen desert of the Arctic ice shield, Mulder finally gets an answer about his sister -- even though the asking price is his life.

The scene shown at the beginning, which mirrors the last scene of "Colony", is slightly different. In "Colony", Scully's face is seen as she hears Mulder's voice on the phone, then she turns around and we see the fake Mulder. In this episode, as she hears his voice, the fake Mulder is seen in the background, slightly out of focus.

Captain: "Prepare to surface!"

Midshipman: "Surface into what? We're under 32 feet of glacial ice!"

Mulder: "Okay, I'm going to take my left hand and reach into my pocket and get my ID, okay? Just don't shoot me. I got shot once and I didn't much care for it..."

Samantha: "I know how to kill him."

Mulder: "How?"

Samantha: "By piercing the base of the skull..."

Mulder: "That would kill anybody."

Samantha: "I'm fairly sure it will work"

Mulder: " 'Fairly sure' "??

(after Samantha tells long tale about alien/human testing etc.)

Mulder: "That's a good story. But I've heard a lot of good stories lately."

Mr X: "You wanted to see me?"

Mulder: "How was the opera?"

Mr X: "Wonderful. I've never slept better. I don't like these hasty public meetings, Agent Mulder."

Mulder: "I'm sorry. I need your help."

Mr X: "It's over. The fat lady is singing."

Mr X: "The key to winning the war, Mr. Mulder, is knowing which battles to fight."

(Mr. X and Skinner in the elevator after X has seen Scully in Mulder's apartment)

Mr. X: "Excuse me.."

Skinner: "Did you tell her what she needed to know? (slams X against the elevator wall) How hard do you want to make this?"

Mr. X: "No harder than it has to be." (Headbutts Skinner, they exchange blows, Skinner finally tossing X down on the floor. X pulls gun)

Mr. X: "I've killed men for far less."

Skinner: "You pull that trigger you'll be killing 2 men. Now I want to know where Mulder is..."

Scully: "How did you get this?"

Skinner: "Unofficial channels."

Assassin: "Is the answer to your question worth dying for? Is that what you want?"

Mulder: "Where is she? Just tell me where she is."

Assassin: "She's alive......Can you die now?"

____________________________________________________________

Scully: "Hey, how you feeling?"

Mulder: "Like I got a bad case of freezer burn."

____________________________________________________________

Scully: "Thanks for ditching me..."

____________________________________________________________

Scully: "Did you find what you were looking for?"

Mulder:(whispering) "No... no. But I found something I'd thought I'd lost. Faith to keep looking."
