ATROCITIES DATING FROM JAPANESE ACTIONS IN WORLD WAR II COME TO LIFE AGAIN AS MULDER INVESTIGATES A MYSTERIOUS TAPE CLAIMING TO SHOW AN ACTUAL ALIEN AUTOPSY.

A mail-order tape purporting to show an actual alien body being dissected leads Mulder to a Pennsylvania murder site, where he apprehends a Japanese diplomat carrying secret spy satellite photographs. While he tracks down a salvage ship that may have brought an alien ship up from the deep, Scully looks up a woman whose name was in the diplomat's papers. She is astonished to discover a group of women who claim to have recognized her from her abduction. Deeply disturbed at this, she is even more troubled to learn that all of the women claim to have been abducted and to have had implants similar to her own removed. Mulder, meanwhile, uncovers evidence leading to a railroad car en route to Canada which may be carrying a living alien being. In a desperate attempt to board the train, he jumps from an overpass onto the train even as Scully, alerted by X, is warning him not to board the train. Part 1 of 2.

Agent Pendrell makes his first appearance here and is named after Pendrell Street in the west end of Vancouver where the series is filmed.

(in Mulder's office, he's watching a videotape)

Scully: "What are you watching?"

Mulder: "Something that just came in the mail."

Scully: "That's not your usual brand of entertainment. (he smiles at the joke) What is it?"

Mulder: "According to the magazine ad I answered it's an alien autopsy. Guaranteed authentic."

Scully: "You spent money for this?"

Mulder: (smugly) "$29.95... plus shipping."

Scully: "Mulder, this is even hokier than the one they aired on the Fox network, you can't even see what they're operating on!"

(busted up mailbox reads "Rat-Tail Productions")

Scully: "Front door's boarded up."

Mulder: "Back door's been busted open. (points to mailbox) Hope nobody let the rat out."

____________________________________________________________

(after pulling out 2nd gun)

Mulder: "I got tired of losing my gun."

____________________________________________________________

Scully: "Either they can't locate an interpreter or the interpreter they located didn't interpret the directions and got lost somewhere, I don't know which."

____________________________________________________________

(Skinner walks towards them through the smoky hallway)

Mulder: "Ah, look at this. A beacon in the night."

____________________________________________________________

Mulder: "Well, I didn't get his name, I was too busy getting my ass kicked."

____________________________________________________________

Scully: "What would a Japanese diplomat be doing in that house, with a dead man with his head stuffed in a pillow case?"

Mulder: "Obviously not strengthening international relations."

____________________________________________________________

Mulder: "I just remembered a piece of evidence from the crime scene that I 'forgot' to turn in."

(opens car trunk and pulls out briefcase w/survelillance photos and name list)

____________________________________________________________

Mulder: "Maybe he's gonna fit her for a pillow case, too."

____________________________________________________________

Langly: "Just gotta love them German optics."

____________________________________________________________

Mulder: "Gotta love that global economy, huh?"

____________________________________________________________

Woman at door: "She's one."

Scully: "One what?"

2nd woman: "One of us."

____________________________________________________________

1st woman: "Did you have an unexplained event in your life last year? Were you missing for a period of time that can't be accounted for?"

Scully: "Why did you ask me that?"

2nd woman: "I think you better sit down Miss Scully. And there's some people you're gonna want to meet."

____________________________________________________________

(Mulder's apartment is trashed)

Mulder: "I don't remember giving you a key."

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

Mulder: "Yeah, I guess I should really fire my maid, shouldn't I?"

____________________________________________________________

Skinner: "This morning his body was found floating face down in the Seano canal. I think we can assume he wasn't diving for pearls."

____________________________________________________________

Skinner: "So let's cut the crap!"

Mulder: "Am I being accused of murder?"

Skinner: "Where's the briefcase?"

____________________________________________________________

Skinner: "Because whatever you stepped in on this case is being tracked into my office, and I don't like the smell of it."

Mulder: "Mind if I tidy up in here a bit first?"

Skinner: "This is bigger than me, you or the FBI Agent Mulder! I hope you've got other names in your phonebook because I'm taking myself off the hook on this one. You're on your own."

____________________________________________________________

Senator Richard Matheson: "I'm on the Intelligence Committee. Secrets are the only real currency we deal in."

____________________________________________________________

Mulder: "What am I on to here?"

Senator Richard Matheson: "Monsters begetting monsters."

____________________________________________________________

(talking about murdered Japanese doctors)

Scully: "Or murdered by whom?"

Mulder: "Possibly our government."

Scully: "Our government? For what possible reason?"

Mulder: "For continuing in their work. The work the Nazis were doing, trying to create an alien-human hybrid."

Scully: "Mulder that is still a fantasy."

Mulder: "Scully, after all you've seen...after all you've told me you've seen, the tunnel filled with medical files, the beings moving past you, the implant in your neck, why do you refuse to believe?"

Scully: "Believing's the easy part Mulder. I just need more than you, I need proof."

Mulder: "You think that believing is easy?"

____________________________________________________________

Scully: "So you're saying that this is man-made."

Agent Pendrell: "What else would it be?"

____________________________________________________________

Agent Pendrell: "I just read about one being designed to help the severly disabled operate computers using brain waves."

Scully: "How?"

Agent Pendrell: "Through direct electro-chemical interface with the cerebral cortex. Pretty incredible huh?"

Scully: "Yeah." (with stunned look on face)

____________________________________________________________

Mulder: "Something serious is going down here Scully."

Scully: "What do you mean?"

Mulder: "The thing they put in the train? It was alive."

____________________________________________________________

Scully: "Mulder I was right about Dr. Ishimaru. He isn't dead. In fact, he's on your videotape."

Mulder: "Well that's where you know him from then."
