8-14idiot.wav
RICHIE SZALAY: Oh, you idiot.

8-14oh.wav
RICHIE SZALAY: Oh, this is not happening.

8-14urgent.wav
SCULLY: You said on the phone you'd received something urgent.
DOGGETT: You're right, I did. And I think it's really important you got right down here, Agent Scully. Thanks.
SCULLY: You going to tell me what it is?
DOGGETT: I passed it on to A.D. Skinner. I'd like for him to tell you.

8-14encounter.wav
SCULLY: What kind of encounter?
SKINNER: A young man chased a bright object flying low across the sky. Tracked it all the way to a big field where the UFO disappeared … but where he claimed he saw an alien.
SCULLY: Assistant Director, I've got drawers full of reports that begin just like that. Are you going to tell me what's so important about this case?

8-14might.wav
SCULLY: Are you trying to tell me this has something to do with Mulder?
DOGGETT: He's trying to tell you that it might.

8-14drain.wav
SCULLY: What is her condition?
DR. DESAI: She's circling the drain.

8-14alive.wav
DR. DESAI: By rights, this young woman shouldn't even be alive.

8-14suspect.wav
DOGGETT: You're welcome to stay here and discuss foreign objects but... looks like we got a suspect.

8-14dude.wav
DOGGETT: John Doggett. I'm an FBI Agent. This is Agent Scully, Assistant Director Skinner, our boss. You mind if we come in?
RICHIE SZALAY: Dude, you're, you're already in.

8-14nikes.wav
DOGGETT: You ever hear of an alien in Nikes?

8-14occur.wav
DOGGETT: Did it ever occur to you that it wasn't an alien but a man?

8-14afraid.wav
SCULLY: Agent Doggett? What was that in there?
DOGGETT: That was pressing a witness to get to the truth.
SCULLY: You refuse to believe that anything other than a man could have done this. Could have done what we saw to that woman in the hospital.
DOGGETT: It's not worth arguing about. The point here is to find Mulder.
SCULLY: And for months, we have been looking for a break, which is what we've got here.
DOGGETT: What we've got is hope. But let's be honest, Agent Scully, about what no one wants to say. Bad as you want to find Mulder, you're afraid to find him, too.

8-14dead.wav
SCULLY: What if he's dead?

8-14bad_dream.wav
SCULLY: What if he's dead? I'm sorry. I just had a bad dream.

8-14starlight.wav
SCULLY: I once had a talk with Mulder about starlight. How it's billions of years old. Stars that are now long dead whose light is still traveling through
time. It won't die, that light. Maybe that's the only thing that never does. He said that's where souls reside. I hope he's right.

8-14prepare.wav
SKINNER: If you're trying to prepare yourself I want you to stop. Nothing says that we're going to stumble over him in some field. Nothing says he won't be fine.

8-14reyes.wav
DOGGETT: You should just hear her out.
SCULLY: Hear who out?
DOGGETT: Her name's Monica Reyes. I worked a case with her once.

8-14same_case.wav
SKINNER: She's FBI?
DOGGETT: Yeah. She's got some expertise I thought we might take advantage of.
SCULLY: Expertise in what?
DOGGETT: She's got her master's in religious studies. Her specialization is ritualistic crime.
SCULLY: Ritualistic crime? Are we working the same case here?

8-14country.wav
REYES: Beautiful country out here.

8-14not_fbi.wav
REYES: I know it's not very FBI of me, but I'm really trying to quit.

8-14interesting.wav
REYES: So, Agent Doggett's been taking me through the case. Interesting.
SCULLY: Interesting?

8-14tell_us.wav
REYES: What do you think happened?
SCULLY: Isn't that what you're here to tell us?

8-14therapy.wav
REYES: What we think happened and what actually happened aren't always the same thing but not altogether insignificant, either.
SCULLY: I'm sorry, this feels like therapy.

8-14facts.wav
REYES: What happened being different from what we want to have happened.
SCULLY: What "who" wants to have happened?
REYES: Well, I'm told this case involves you.
SCULLY: It may involve someone close to me. Can we stick to the facts, please?

8-14group.wav
SKINNER: Agent Reyes, we're dealing with abductions here... not by any cult.
REYES: Okay. Good. I mean, if it's not.
SCULLY: But you think that it is.
REYES: Well, I go on what I know, of course but I try to stay, you know, open.
SCULLY: So, what do you think happened?
REYES: Well, I'm told that Agent Mulder and the other people who were taken were true believers. People 100% convinced in the abduction phenomenon.
SKINNER: If this is about these people staging their own abductions...
REYES: No, it's about people coming together. Like minds as a group.
SCULLY: So you're basically saying that Agent Mulder has joined some sort of UFO cult.
REYES: Call it a group.

8-14feeling.wav
SCULLY: Are you asking me to believe this?
REYES: No. That's not what I said. I don't think he left her to die. I don't think she's dead.
SCULLY: Based on what?
REYES: Nothing, really. It's just a feeling.

8-14new_company.wav
DOGGETT: What are you walking away for? It makes some kind of sense.
SCULLY: I'm glad you agree with her, Agent Doggett, because I'm not even sure that she agrees with you. Nor has she made any sense for me of how the doctor who removed Teresa Hoese from the hospital last night seems, by all accounts to have been in two places at once.
DOGGETT: I know where you're going with this, Agent Scully but if you're going to tell me this is another alien bounty hunter this is where we part company.
SCULLY: Enjoy your new company.

8-14almost.wav
JEREMIAH SMITH: We were almost too late.

8-14combing.wav
SCULLY: I thought you'd be out combing the hills with Agent Doggett.
REYES: I'm on my way out to see him. I just wanted to see film on this woman's injuries-- Teresa Hoese.

8-14implants.wav
SCULLY: Is there something you're looking for, Agent Reyes, in particular?
REYES: Implants, or signs of them.
SCULLY: Implants? I don't understand.
REYES: Metallic implants. Placed in the body, oftentimes in the nasal cavity. Sometimes made of bone or cartilage making detection a little more difficult.
SCULLY: Yeah, I'm well aware of how they work.
REYES: You said you didn't understand.
SCULLY: I don't understand your interest in what is commonly considered evidence of alien abduction as a disbeliever in that phenomena.
REYES: I'm not a disbeliever.
SCULLY: Excuse me. I, I, uh, I'm very confused. I know what I heard and I heard you say that what we're dealing with here is nothing more than a UFO cult.
REYES: There's the confusion. I still believe that but it doesn't mean I don't believe in the phenomena.
SCULLY: You believe in extraterrestrials?
REYES: Let's just say I don't not believe. As I said, I try to stay open.

8-14dont_not_believe.wav
REYES: Let's just say I don't not believe.

8-14talk.wav
SCULLY: What is it you specialize in again? Ritualistic crime?
REYES: Right. Satanic ritual abuse. Or, I should say claims of it. We never found any hard evidence.
SCULLY: We should talk sometime.

8-14beliefs.wav
REYES: I was something of a black sheep in the field office in New Orleans … because of my beliefs.
SCULLY: And what beliefs are those?
REYES: I just have certain spiritual notions. I believe there are energies in the universe. It might sound kind of cosmic but I think I'm sensitive to them. I mean, I get these feelings.
SCULLY: And do you have any feelings about Agent Mulder?
REYES: I don't know Agent Mulder. And I don't have any feelings about him. But I am feeling your fear. And fear's not going to help you find him or anyone else. Maybe you can try and stay open, too.

8-14frickin.wav
REYES: No frickin' way.

8-14work.wav
SKINNER: Dana...
SCULLY: I'm okay. There's work to do here.

8-14scully.wav
REYES: You're hurting for her, I know. Agent Scully.
DOGGETT: I don't know how she's doing it in there. With everything she's feeling. What she's afraid of.

8-14hurting.wav
REYES: You're hurting for her, I know. Agent Scully.
DOGGETT: I don't know how she's doing it in there. With everything she's feeling. What she's afraid of.
REYES: You know all too well.
DOGGETT: Let's leave the past in the past.
REYES: It was your fear, too. Those three days we looked for your son. The fear of finding what we did. I understand. That's why you're so determined to find Mulder alive.
DOGGETT: It's why I can't stand here and listen to all this mumbo jumbo about spaceships.
REYES: I saw what I saw, John. I'm not going to lie to you.

8-14coming.wav
JEREMIAH SMITH: They're coming.
ABSALOM: Who? Who's coming?
JEREMIAH SMITH: You can't let them find him.

8-14start_panic.wav
DOGGETT: FBI! Please remain calm! We have a warrant to search the premises. You are surrounded by law officers who are armed, and prepared to shoot, if necessary.

8-14dont_panic.wav
REYES: Please don't panic. You are in no danger if you stay calm and where we can see you.

8-14coffee.wav
ABSALOM: How many times can I tell you?
DOGGETT: Night's early. Coffee's hot.

8-14millennium.wav
ABSALOM: I predicted there would be an alien invasion at the Millennium. I was right, it turns out. 'Cause that's when this all started.

8-14security.wav
SCULLY: Sir... given the criminal charges against you, you couldn't be a less credible witness so stop trying to validate your theories and just give us the truth.
ABSALOM: I'm telling you the truth. I only want to help these people.
SCULLY: So these video cameras that you have around your compound-- how do they help?
ABSALOM: Abductees... live in fear of being taken again. The cameras give them a sense of security.
DOGGETT: Or makes them afraid to leave.

8-14give_truth.wav
SCULLY: I asked you to give me the truth.

8-14this_man.wav
SCULLY: Do you have videotape of this man?

8-14hiding.wav
SKINNER: He's hiding something.
REYES: Yeah, that's for sure.

8-14saw.wav
REYES: What is it?
SCULLY: I saw him. I saw something.

8-14angle.wav
SCULLY: Who is it?
REYES: You can't tell from this angle.
SCULLY: Well, then where's another angle?
REYES: This is the only angle I could find.

8-14heal_people.wav
SCULLY: That man. I know that man.
REYES: Good, because here he is again.
SKINNER: Who is he?
SCULLY: His name is Jeremiah Smith. Agent Mulder knew him. He believed that he had the ability to heal people.
DOGGETT: What do you mean, "heal people"?
SCULLY: Like he did Teresa Hoese.

8-14never.wav
DOGGETT: What the hell just happened?
REYES: That's what I'd like to know.
SCULLY: Wow. That's still Jeremiah Smith.
DOGGETT: The hell it was. That's me, and I never even went in that building.
SCULLY: Exactly. We have to get back out there.

8-14trying.wav
JEREMIAH SMITH: You're going to expose me. You're putting people in danger-- Abductees all over the country. I save them. I'm the only one.
SCULLY: Where's Mulder?
JEREMIAH SMITH: You came crashing in here. I was trying to help him, too.
SCULLY: Where is Mulder?
