Inside the X Files Page #2

---

Many details are still unclear, but we're under

some pressure from the Attorney General

to give an accurate picture of what happened,

so that she can issue a public statement.

We know now that five people

died in the explosion: Special--

Special Agent in charge Darius Michaud

who was trying to defuse the bomb,

three firemen from Dallas, and a young boy.

- I'd like to begin--

- Excuse me? Excuse me...

The firemen and the young boy...

they were found in the building?

Agent Mulder, since you weren't able to be on time

for this hearing, I'd like you to step outside,

so that we can hear Agent Scully's version of the facts,

so that she will not be paid the same disrespect.

We had been told the building was clear.

You will get your turn, agent Mulder.

Please step outside.

Sit down.

They're still talking to Agent Scully.

About what?

They're asking her for a narrative. They

wanna know why she was in the wrong building.

She was with me.

You don't see what's going on here, do you?

There's $45 million worth of damage to the city of Dallas.

Lives have been lost.

No suspects have been named.

So, the story that's being shaped is that

this could have been prevented.

They wanna blame us?

Agent Mulder, you and I both know that

if it looks bad, it's bad for the FBI.

Blame has to be assigned somewhere.

If they want somebody to blame, they can

blame me. Agent Scully doesn't deserve this.

She's in there right now saying

the same thing about you.

No. I breached protocol.

I broke contact with the SAC.

I ignored a primary tactical rule

and left him alone with the device.

Agent Scully says it was she who ordered you out

of the building, that you wanted to go back in.

No.

They're asking for you, sir.

Thank you.

Whatever you told them in there, Scully,

you don't have to protect me.

All I told them was the truth.

They're trying to divide us on this,

and we can't let them.

Mulder, they have divided us.

They're splitting us up.

What? What are you talking about?

I have a meeting with OPR, day after tomorrow,

for remediation and reassignment.

They were the ones that put us together.

Because they wanted me to invalidate

your investigations into the paranormal, but...

I think this goes deeper than that now.

This is not about you, Scully.

They're doing this to me.

They're not doing this.

Mulder, I left behind a career in medicine

because I thought that I could...

make a difference at the FBI,

But it hasn't turned out that way.

And now, if they were to transfer me

to Omaha or Cleveland or some...

field office, it just doesn't hold the

interest for me that it once did.
