Moment of Truth: The Andy Meyers Story Page #2

---

This is not a court of law.

This is a military court of law.

You may want to familiarize yourself

with Title 10 of the U.S. Code.

But l suggest you call the witness.

Then l move to delay this trial.

My central witness, Marita Covarrubias,

works for the UN, and l can't locate her.

l've received no help

from the U.S. government locating her.

l have to deny that request.

Do you have another witness, Mr. Skinner?

l'll call a witness, but l do so under protest.

Both the panel's judgments and rulings

are sovereign, Mr. Skinner.

There is no record.

Excuse me?

This isn't a secret tribunal, as you

so kindly inform me. lt's a court of law.

Military court of law, Mr. Skinner.

lt's okay. Try your case.

Please state your name for the court.

My name is Dana Katherine Scully.

l was assigned nine years ago

to the X-Files to spy on Agent Mulder...

...whose methods the FBl distrusted.

Assigned not just as an agent,

but as a medical doctor. A scientist.

As a serious scientist, you came

to believe in Agent Mulder's theories?

l came to believe

in the existence of extraterrestrial life.

And in a conspiracy

inside the government...

...to keep their existence a secret.

The proof was overwhelming.

lt was even scientifically undeniable.

l believe, as do many respected scientists...

...that life came to earth

millions of years ago...

...from a meteor, or a rock from Mars.

So what you're saying is, life, human life...

...is extraterrestrial by definition?

Objection. What does this have to do

with Mulder murdering a man?

lt will prove that a government conspiracy

is hiding the existence of extraterrestrials.

You are not here proving

government conspiracies, Mr. Skinner.

You're here to defend Fox Mulder.

And l'm trying to do that.

lt's your case, Mr. Skinner.

So, a meteor crashed to Earth.

But along with the biological building

blocks on it, there was something else.

An alien virus.

l believe there was a virus

which thrived here prehistorically.

I beIieve that virus infected earIy man...

...and transformed his physioIogy.

Changed him into something eIse?

Into an aIien Iife-form himseIf.

And what happened to these aliens?

They died, in the last lce Age,

And the virus?

lt lay dormant, underground,

until it surfaced, once again...

...during our current geologic period.

And the government knows of this?

The government learned

of this virus in 1947...

...when a UFO crashed

in RosweII, New Mexico.

The UFO crash revealed the virus?

The virus thrived underground

in petroleum deposits.

In bIack oiI.

It has sentience. It can think.

It has the abiIity to communicate.

And it communicated with the UFOs.

And the government knows this, too?

ln Roswell...

...they captured aliens

from the space craft wreckage.

They saIvaged various aIien technoIogy

from them, and from their databanks...

...they learned of the alien plan

to re-colonize the Earth.

ls this all leading anywhere?

Yeah. The destruction of mankind.

l'll warn you once, Agent Mulder.

What did the government do

with this information of an alien takeover?

They kept it a dark secret.

lf it had gotten out,

there would have been wild panic.

Mr. Skinner, are we finished?

No, there's still

Agent Scully's own abduction in 1994.

Abduction by whom?

By the military, working with

the government conspirators...

...to deveIop a breed of human-aIien hybrids

that the aIiens wouId use as a sIave race.

Thank you, Agent Scully.

Your witness, Mr. Callenbruner.

All these E.T.'s running around....

Hard to keep these aliens straight

without a scorecard.

l, myself, have never seen an alien.

Could we call one as a witness?

You're being facetious.

No. l'd just like to see some proof.

There are the Mars rocks.

No. l need something good.

Something amazing. Really cool.

l don't know what you mean.

What l mean is, you have no proof

to back up one word you just told us.

lsn't it true that you and Mulder

were lovers and you had his love child?

Objection!

Thank you. Next witness.

Can you state your full name?

Jeffrey Frank Spender.

l know you didn't hear Mr. Callenbruner,

but he'd like to mock the X-Files.

You worked on the X-Files?

Yes, until three years ago.

When you were shot in the X-Files office.

Shot by your own father?

Please tell the court

exactly who your father was.

He led the government conspiracy

to exploit the existence of aliens.

Objection. l've seen no

government conspiracy established here.

l agree. l don't see where this is going.

lf l prove this conspiracy,

it will justify Mulder's actions...

...and you will have no choice but to acquit.

l hope this isn't the entire basis

of your defense, Mr. Skinner.

You have a relationship to Agent Mulder,

don't you, Mr. Spender?

He's my half-brother.

His mother had an affair with my father.

But he never knew that.

Not until he met you at the FBl.

He didn't know both his father and mine

were in the alien conspiracy.

His father was a reIuctant member.

When Agent MuIder began to know

about this connection...

...my father had his father kiIIed

by an assassin named AIex Krycek.

He kiIIed him to siIence him?

Mulder's father lived his life in shame.

Not for the conspiracy,

but for a terribIe decision he made.

InvoIving Agent MuIder's sister?

The aliens distrusted

their human collaborators.

Members of the conspiracy were made

to give famiIy members as coIIateraI.

So, Mulder's father gave up Mulder's sister?

His own 8-year-old daughter?

Mulder witnessed his sister

being abducted by aliens.

It haunted him to no end.

It's why he pursued the X-FiIes.

-What became of her? Samantha?

-She was returned.

She was sent to California,

where we were raised together.

She was taken many more times,

and suffered horrible tests.

Mulder spent years looking for her.

Several times thinking that he'd found her.

But he was tricked.

Samantha was part of the cIoning

experiment done by the conspiracy.

She, herself, died in 1978.

By your own father's hand, essentially.

l went to work for the FBl.

l didn't know of my father's crimes.

When l stood up to him, he shot me.

When l didn't die,

he subjected me to the same horrible tests.

Your witness.

Mr. Spender, l'm sorry for your suffering.

l'm sure none of us

can really imagine what it's like.

Your father must be brought to justice.

l believe my father is dead.

Mr. Spender, you're here to speak

for the character of Agent Mulder.

ln reports you filed while an FBl agent...

...l see you describe Mulder

as ''arrogant,'' ''difficult''...

...''a control freak,''

''widely disliked by his peers.''

l wrote that before l knew the truth.

This report calls him ''unstable,''

''prone to violent outbursts.''

l have the report right here

if your memory needs refreshing.

Thank you, Mr. Spender.

You found out about Mulder?

You found out he's in trouble.

l'll get ready now.

l know why you're here and what you want.
