MULDER BOARDS A TRAIN CARRYING A BOMB AND A MYSTERIOUS QUARANTINE SUBJECT AS SCULLY
LEARNS MORE DETAILS OF HER ABDUCTION.
At a remote leper colony in West Virginia, leprosy victims watch in hiding as other
patients are rounded up by a death squad and systematically murdered. Aboard a speeding
train, Mulder searches for the Japanese doctor in charge of the mysterious being he saw
loaded on a quarantine car -- a doctor whom Scully identifies from photographs as having
been present during her abduction. When Mulder finds the man garroted in a bathroom, he
goes in search of the killer still on the train. Scully links the Japanese doctor to a
West Virginia leper colony, and discovers a mysterious informant with a tale of human
medical experimentation dating back to World War II. Mulder's belief in alien
hybridization experiments is tested against Scully's conviction that the evidence points
to extensive medical atrocities. Only Scully's memories and cryptic messages from X can
save Mulder who is trapped in a sealed train car with a bomb, a cold-blooded killer, and
an occupant who may or may not be a human/alien hybrid. Part 2 of 2.
Notes
The title refers to the military unit number of the group
of scientists who were conducting the experiments. In real life, Camp 731 was located in
Manchuko (Japanese occupied Manchuria) and run by General Shiro Ishii, a man known as the
Japanese Mengele. He oversaw repulsive experiments done on POW's, including Americans, and
after the war ended Ishii and his team were recruited by the Americans to work with
bio-war research. Sometimes the truth is worse than fiction.
The number combination Mulder uses to free himself from the boxcar is #101331 (10/31 is
Chris Carter's birthday)

Quotes
____________________
Scully: "I want to know what's on that train."
Mr. X: "It doesn't matter now."
Scully: "Our government is operating a secret railroad. They put something on that
train in West Virginia. Something living!"
Mr. X: "What more is there to know?"
Scully: "What the Japanese have to do with it. How a man named Ishimaru is
involved."
Mr. X: "That I don't know." (he turns to leave, she pulls out her gun, grabs
him and points it at him)
Scully: "Don't tell me you don't know you smug son of a b...!" (he grabs the
gun from her, too fast for her to react, she looks at him in shock)
Mr. X: "There are limits to my knowledge."
Scully: "I don't have time for your convenient ignorance!"
Mr. X: "What are you gonna do? Shoot me? Just like the men that shot your
sister?"
Scully: "You know them too?"
Mr. X: "You wanna know what's on that train? Who killed your sister? You find out
what they put in your neck."
Scully: "The implant."
Mr.X: "It holds more than I could ever tell you. Maybe everything you need to
know."

Mulder: (the journals are in Japanese) "Why did I study French in high
school?"
____________________
Mulder: "Have you ever used a gun before?"
Conductor: "No." (eyes wide with fright)
Mulder: "I just want you to point it at him. (clicks empty gun) Don't pull the
trigger. That will kinda give away the game."

Scully: "Well done, Agent Pendrell. Keep up the good work."
Pendrell: "Hey, thanks. Keep it up yourself!... (Scully leaves) ... 'Keep it up
yourself' .. what a doof."

Woman: "Ooh, God. He's dead!"
Mulder: "Sshh! He's just got a little motion sickness. I'm gonna go find a doctor.
Why don't you and the young man just find another bathroom?"
____________________
Mulder: "The NSA? Since when did they start issuing you guys piano wire instead of
guns?"
Red Haired Man: "Since we learned there's a bomb on this train."
Mulder: "There's something on this train but it's not a bomb."

Elder: "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."
Scully: "I've seen your methods of elimination. What happened to the man who was
with me in the forest? What about the people who were in this room?"
Elder: "They had been exposed."
Scully: "Exposed to what?"
Elder: "The same thing all these victims have been exposed to him... victims of an
inhuman project run by a man named... Zama."
Scully: "You mean Ishimaru. You hid him here after the war. He stayed here, and he
continued his experiments."
Elder: "The ruler of the world is no longer the country with the bravest soldiers,
but the greatest scientists. Unfortunately, Ishimaru began to conduct his work in secret,
not sharing with those who had risked much in giving him his asylum."

Scully: (on phone to Mulder) "Mulder we've gotten involved with something, but
it's not at all what you think."
Mulder: "What are you talking about?"
Scully: "Whatever is on that train is not alien."
Mulder: "You're wrong Scully."
Scully: "Mulder, Ishimaru-Zama he was experimenting on innocent human subjects.
He'd been doing it for years operating out of a leper colony."
Mulder: "Well, whatever his name was Scully, he's dead. I don't think this has
anything to do with lepers."
Scully: "The leper colony was just a front. The tests weren't just on lepers, they
were on the homeless, on the insane. They were brought here and they were subjected to
diseases and radiation tests."
Mulder: "Who told you this?"
Scully: "The man who handed me the phone."
Mulder: "Well, why do you believe him?"
Scully: "Because of what he's shown me."
Mulder: "What? (pause) What's he shown you?"
Scully: "Mulder I am standing in a train car just like the one on your alien
autopsy video. Only I realize that I've been here before."
Mulder: "What are talking about Scully?"
Scully: "This is where they brought me Mulder! This is where they put the implant
in my neck, in one of these cars!"
Mulder: "Scully...."
Scully: "It all makes sense Mulder! Ishimaru-Zama he was using the secret railroad
to conduct his tests across the country. The women in Allentown, they all remember these
cars...."
(phone connection starts breaking up)
Mulder: "Scully? Scully ?!"
Scully: "Can you hear me?"
Mulder: "Yeah. So what are you saying, that Zama's the one who abducted these
women?"
Scully: "What I am saying Mulder is that there is no such thing as alien
abduction. It is just a smoke-screen happily created by our government to cover up the
biggest lie of all."

Elder: "What's the next stop?"
Scully: "It's not on the map."

Mulder: "Scully, let me tell you, you haven't seen America till you've seen it
from a train."

Mulder: "What about that thing locked back there? What provisions were made for
saving its life?"
Red-Haired Man: "I don't know. I wasn't expected to fail."
Mulder: "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?! (no answer as Mulder
walks towards him, still bound on the floor) We're both gonna die in here, the difference
is I'm gonna die quickly. (cocks trigger on gun aimed at Red-Haired Man) As an employee of
the National Security Agency you should know that a gunshot wound to the stomach is
probably 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."

Scully: "I think I may have a code for you. I'm watching Zama punch it into a
keypad in one of the train cars."
Mulder: "What are you watching?"
Scully: "Your alien autopsy video."
Mulder: "You mean I might get my $29.95's worth after all?"
____________________
Mulder: "They're getting away with it, Scully."
Scully: "They've gotten away with it, Mulder. The bodies at the leper colony have
all been removed."
Mulder: "I know what I saw on that train car. It wasn't a leper and it wasn't
human."
Scully: "And I know what I saw at that research facility. It was barely
recognizable as human. Don't you see Mulder? You're doing their work for them.You're
chasing aliens that aren't there, helping them to create a story to cover the shameful
truth. And what they can't cover they apologize for. Apology has become policy."
Mulder: "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."
