Mulder: If they want somebody to blame, they can blame me. Skinner: Agent Mulder, you and I both know that if it looks bad, it's bad for the FBI. So, the story that's being shaped is that this could have been prevented. Skinner: You don't see what's going on here, do you? There's $45 million worth of damage to the city of Dallas. They wanna know why she was in the wrong building. Skinner: They're asking her for a narrative. Mulder: We had been told the building was clear.Ĭassidy: You'll get your turn, agent Mulder. The firemen and the young boy-they were found in the building?Ĭassidy: 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. Special-special agent in charge, Darius Michaud, who was trying to diffuse the bomb, three firemen from Dallas, and a young boy. We know now that 5 people died in the explosion. 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. There's no time!Ĭassidy: In light of Waco and Ruby Ridge, there is a heightened need at the Attorney General's office to place the responsibility as early as possible for the catastrophic destruction of public property and loss of life due to terrorist activities. Michaud: Did you hear what I said? Get out. Mulder: We got less than 4 minutes to find out if you're right. Now, get the hell outta here and evacuate the building. Mulder: Somebody's gotta stay here with you. Michaud: It's just what it looks like-big I.E.D. Mulder: Tell me that's just soda pop in those canisters. Mulder: Scully, you know that face I just showed you? I'm making it again. Scully: He found it in the vending machine. Scully: This is special agent Dana Scully. Scully: Don't think! Just pick up that phone, and make it happen! Scully : I need this building evacuated and cleared out in 10 minutes! I want you to call the fire department and have them block off the city center in a one-mile radius around the building! You've got about 14 minutes to evacuate this building. Mulder: Look, Scully, it's in the soda machine. You gotta get somebody to open that door. Scully: There was a definite moment of panic. Scully: So much for anticipating the unforeseen. I think it's free beer night at the astrodome. Mulder: Maybe we should call in a bomb threat to Houston. Scully: You gotta quit looking for what isn't there. Scully: I know you're bored in this assignment, Mulder, but unconventional thinking is only gonna get you into trouble now. What are we doing up here, Scully? It's hotter than hell. If we fail to anticipate the unforeseen, or expect the unexpected in the universe of infinite possibilities, we may find ourselves at the mercy of anyone or anything that cannot be programmed, categorized, or easily referenced. Mulder: Whatever happened to playing a hunch, Scully? The element of surprise, random act of unpredictability. If you'd study the statistics, you'd find a model behavioral pattern for virtually every case where a threat has turned up an explosive device, and if we don't act in accordance with that data, if you ignore it, as we have done, the chances are great that, if there actually is a bomb, we might not find it. The rational object of terrorism is to promote terror. Scully: Mulder, when a terrorist bomb threat is called in, the rational purpose of providing that information is to allow us to find the bomb. Scully: Yes, I know that, but the threat was called into the federal building across the street. I'm hot, I'm thirsty, and, to be honest, I'm wondering what I'm doing up here. Scully: Well, I just climbed up 12 floors. Michaud: Have you sent the dogs through yet?Īgent: All right, guys! Let's do it again! There's no trace of an explosive device or anything resembling one. well, we better come up with a plan.Īgent: We've evacuated the building and been through it bottom to top. Sir, the impossible scenario that we never planned for. What about my men? What about my men? What the hell is this?īronschweig : It's Bronschweig. Now we've lost communication with my men. Move back, folks.Ĭooles: I sent 4 men down there for the boy. T.C.? Glenn, Sal, in the hole.īronschweig: Get those people out of here!Ĭop: Come on. You see the kid? Danny, check T.C.'s radio. Got a rescue situation in progress, out by the old town road I.C. Let's get outta here.Ĭooles: Give me a 14-footer! Captain Miles Cooles. Anyway, there's bones all over the place, man.
