The X Files: I Want to Believe Page #4

Organs harvested for transplant. That's how they were targeted.

Donors and recipients need match types. Someone using that pool knows that.

Black market. Somebody filling orders.

Would they have access, recipients, hospitals?

That's your world, Scully. Your knowledge of it will save time and time is our enemy.

You can start with the transporters. Call the Richmond DA.

No. I need you on this with me.

No. No, Mulder.

You asked for me to get involved, Scully. Now I'm asking for you to stay involved.

Oh, Mulder.

You helped them already. You broke the case for them. Why don't you just let the FBI pursue it?

We are so close now.

- I'm asking you to let it go.

- It is not that simple.

No. It's complicated.

What's this supposed to mean?

Something that I knew would happen, that I've been afraid of and haven't had to face until now.

What? Just say it.

I am a doctor, Mulder.

- That's not my life any more.

- I know that.

You're not understanding me.

I can't look into the darkness with you any more, Mulder.

I cannot stand what it does to you or to me.

I'm fine with it. Scully, I'm actually okay. I'm good.

Yeah. That's what scares me.

Where else would you want me to look of you want me to find these women alive?

I'm asking you that you look at yourself.

Why?

I don't think I'm the one who has changed.

We're not FBI any more, Mulder.

We are two people who come home at night.

To a home now.

I don't want that darkness in my home.

Scully, this is who I am.

It's who I've always been. This is who I was before I met you. It's what I do. It's everything I know.

Write it down. Put it in a book.

Are you asking me to give up?

No.

I can't tell you to do that, Mulder.

But I can tell you that...

... I won't be coming home.

Scully.

Mulder, I've got my own battles to fight.

Don't do this.

- Please don't argue with me.

- Don't do this now.

I don't know what else to do.

Good luck, then.

You too.

Doctor Scully?

We would like to speak with you if we may...

... about Christian.

- Have you been in to see him?

- Yes. He was sleeping.

But...

We've change our minds - about going forward with this new treatment.

But you don't even know if it's working yet.

We think Christian's been through enough.

We want to put our faith in God now.

I see.

- It's nothing against you.

- No.

If you were a mother, you'd understand.

Have you spoken to Father Ybarra?

Yes. But the decision is ours.

What if it did work?

What if we found we'd made the wrong choice by stopping?

Are you saying you can save my son?

I'm saying I don't want to give up now.

All of a sudden, the plane gears up and we're back up in the air again.

I say, "Honey, isn't this fantastic? We're gonna die together."

It turns out that there was a plane on the tarmac...

... and we missed colliding with it by seconds.

We were in love and it was romantic.

Sir? Excuse me, sir. Can we talk with you a minute?

I'm transporting vital organ.

That's what we'd like to talk to you about.

This is my job. I move very quickly. I don't have much time.

Please, sir. Step over here.

My name is Robert Koell, I'm with the District Attorney's office in Richmond. May I see your paperwork and license?

I have green card.

- What are you transporting?

- human liver for transplantation.

Paperwork and license, please.

Where are you delivering it?

Willow's Memorial Hospital.

There is patient wait for it.

Have you ever procured or delivered an organ outside of normal or lawful channels?

No.

You're an employee of this company. How would your employer answer this question?

Is sick, has cancer.

That's not what I asked you..

Am I under some kind of suspicion?

A vision if ever I had one.

Can I speak with you?

Would you like to come in?

Make yourself comfortable.

I won't be staying long.

Have you come here by yourself?

Yes.

Sit.

Please, I insist.

Now, you came to ask me something.

We are alone. Free to speak in confidence.

You said something to me the other night in the snow.

Yes, I said, "Don't give up."

I need to know why you said that.

I haven't the faintest idea.

Were you hoping for another answer?

Do you know anything about me?

Other than that you loathe me?

Do you know what it is that I do?

No. I can see that you are a woman of faith.

- But not in the same things as your husband.

- he's not my husband.

- Do you care to tell me about yourself?

- No!

Do you care to offer a confession?

- I don't think you're...

- What?

In a position to judge? And yet you've judged me, haven't you?

You deserve to be judged!

Do you know why we live here, the men who call this vile box of monsters home?

Because we hate each even as we hate ourselves. For our sickening appetites.

That doesn't make it any less sickening.

And where do they come from, these sickening appetites, these uncontrollable urges?

Not from God!

Not from me. I castrated myself when I was 26.

And the visions weren't my idea either.

Proverbs 25:
2.

"God's glory to conceal a thing...

... but the honor of kings to search out a matter."

Don't you quote Scripture to me!

What are you doing here? What are you afraid of?

"Don't give up!" What was that for?

- I don't Know.

- I don't believe you!

I'm telling you the truth!

- They were your words!

- I don;t know why I said them!

You said them to my face!

All I ever wanted was to serve Him. All I've ever wanted was to serve God.

Ask for His pity, but don't expect mine.

You can stop the act any time!

Look at me!

The paramedics have been in with him for about seven minutes.

He has stabilized. Blood pressure's normal.

- They are loading him in now.

- What happened?

He had a seizure.

- Who called you?

- No-one.

What are you doing here?

We need to talk to Father Joe?

Well, that's not going to happen.

We've got a suspect. A Russian immigrant working as an organ transporter.

In custody?

No. The Richmond DA questioned him about trafficking black market human organs this afternoon, but he was released.

They had no evidence to hold him.

We've got a fairly credible witneses who says he swam with the women at the pool.

ASAC Whitney?

What's that got to do with Father Joe?

- He's the man in his visions, Scully.

- Who?

The suspect. The man in this photo.

Mulder, now you're wasting their time.

Tell me again what you're doing here.

Here's a vision for you. A couple of my guys just had it.

Who's this?

That's our suspect's employer. An old friend of Father Joe's, we just learned.

- Known him for over twenty years.

- Known him how?

That's one of his 37 altar boys.

Three guesses who he's married to in the state of Massachusetts?

Our suspect.

We got a warrant to search their offices.

Mulder.

It's over.

Why don't you hold up?

Let these men do their jobs.

Clear this bottom floor.

We were all fooled on this. I wanted to believe as bad as anyone.

Look, I don't need the sweet-talk.
