00:30Oh, my God.
01:00We're not who we are.
01:30It goes no further than this.
01:40It stops right here, right now.
01:48Right now.
01:58Oh, my God.
02:08Oh, my God.
02:18Oh, my God.
02:47Oh, my God.
04:18This team of scientists made up the Arctic Ice Corps project.
04:22They were sent to Alaska by the government's Advanced Research Project Agency nearly a year ago to drill into the Arctic ice.
04:29The samples they removed contained trapped gases, dust, chemicals.
04:33Evidence that could reveal the structure of the Earth's climate back to the dawn of man.
04:39Their work was a success, nearly completed.
04:42No reports or indications of problems of any kind.
04:45Until only a week later, this next transmission.
04:48We're not who we are.
05:00We're not who we are.
05:10It goes no further than this.
05:16It stops right here.
05:20Right now.
05:22What happened up there?
05:31So far, nobody's been able to reach the compound because of bad weather.
05:35Obviously, they think we're either brilliant or expendable because we've pulled the assignment.
05:39Is it severe isolation distress?
05:41These were top geophysicists.
05:43They were trained and screened for this project in every way imaginable, including psychological makeup.
05:48We leave for Gnome today.
05:51We'll meet up with three scientists familiar with the ice core project and then head north up to the icy cape.
05:58The National Weather Service reports a three-day window to get in and out before the next Arctic storm.
06:03Bring your mittens.
06:04The National Weather Service reports a three-day window to get in and out before the next day.
06:34It was 2007, didn't it?
06:35No, this is just some of my all-time favorite plays on tape.
06:40You two FBI?
06:41Agent Mulder, Agent Scully.
06:43You?
06:44Denny Murphy, professor of geology, UC San Diego.
06:46San Diego?
06:47Do you get much of a chance to study ice down there?
06:50Just watch around the keg.
06:54Dr. De Silva?
06:55Dr. Hodge.
06:56Yeah, sorry we're late.
06:57Hi, Agent Scully.
06:58Nice to meet you.
06:59How you doing?
06:59Nice to meet you.
07:00Dr. Murphy.
07:00Hi.
07:01Can I see some identification?
07:03What for?
07:04I want to make sure we are who we say we are.
07:11It's me.
07:13It's you.
07:14Me.
07:15It's you.
07:16It's me. Thanks a lot.
07:22Well, now that we know who we are,
07:23anybody care to take a guess as to why we're going?
07:28Well, two federal agents, a geologist,
07:30a medical doctor, and a toxicologist.
07:32That should give us some idea what they're thinking.
07:35I assume you all took a look at the tape?
07:39Something wrong?
07:41Come on. You're FBI. You have to know more than me do.
07:53You folks the ones going up to Icy Cape?
07:55Yeah.
07:57Then I'm the one flying you.
07:58My name's Bear.
08:00Planes across the way. Provisions are loaded.
08:02Grab your gear.
08:03Oh, can we see some credentials?
08:04Credentials.
08:11The only credentials I have is that I'm the only pilot
08:13willing to fly you up there.
08:16You don't like those credentials?
08:18Walk.
08:19Walk.
08:19Here you go.
08:37I'm sorry, Peter.
08:41Bye.
08:41Hi.
08:43Come on.
08:44Bear, see if we can get the power started.
08:53Anything to get out of here.
09:00Where do we start?
09:02Body bags are on the plane.
09:04Before we touch anything, we have to thoroughly document the scene.
09:14It's flashing.
09:34That's what they were drilling for.
09:39A quarter of a million years melting away in a couple of days.
09:42I'm going to preserve some samples.
10:07It's the generator.
10:08Oh.
10:09Angel, over!
10:24Watch!
10:24Watch!
10:26Watch!
10:27Hold it down.
10:47Don't have to keep him out for a while.
11:03You okay?
11:04Yeah, he didn't break the skin.
11:06Bear, you okay?
11:07You got me.
11:08Get that jacket off.
11:09Just give me the step.
11:10I'll do it myself.
11:11I don't see any indication of glottal spasm or tetany.
11:24If it is rabies, it's certainly not a strain I'm familiar with.
11:28Look at this.
11:30Black nodules.
11:31It's well in lymph nodes.
11:33Symptoms of bubonic plague.
11:35I'll do a blood test.
11:37We'll take it from there.
11:38This dog, it's got a skin irritation around its neck.
11:44Looks like it's been scratching off its own hair.
11:48Look at this.
11:50Look at this.
11:54What the hell was that?
11:56Oh, God!
12:08Oh!
12:13Oh!
12:19Ah!
12:20Ah!
12:20from the autopsies is clear these men killed one another there are contusions around the throat
12:46areas of three men evidence of strangulation reacher and campbell killed themselves i also
12:53found tissue damage due to fever did any of them have the black spots the dog has no none of them
13:01had the black nodules so uh those spots didn't have anything to do with uh those guys killing each
13:07other right i wouldn't rule it out just re-examine the dog nodules are gone what could that mean
13:13well it could mean that the spots are a symptom of some disease at an early stage
13:17so
13:19so
13:21so
13:26theni
13:33theni
13:50theni
13:52theni
13:54i'm sorry
13:56playoff game against miami 82 helps i get my mind off my interpretation of satellite remote sensing photos is a little rusty
14:05all right this is the icy cape area it approximates the depth of the ice sheet to be about 3 000 meters thick
14:13well i also found this data and if i'm reading it correctly the team actually found the ice sheet to be twice that depth
14:20that's very good the numbers indicate the topography to be concave looks like they were drilling inside a meteor crater
14:27no you're wrong it's impossible i analyzed two samples what did you find there seems to be a presence of ammonium hydroxide in richter's blood sample
14:35it's not possible ammonia would vaporize a human body temperature i checked all the air filtration systems i found no evidence of any such toxins
14:42i have in the ice and that's not all there is
14:47i found a high ratio of ammonia to water in the ice core
14:53the earth's atmosphere could never produce such levels not even a quarter of a million years ago
15:00look in the scope
15:02unless a foreign object was introduced into that environment
15:05tell me that's not a foreign object
15:07oh
15:09so
15:11that same thing is in richter's blood
15:14what if that single-celled organism is the larval stage of a larger animal
15:27that's kind of a leap don't you think
15:33the evidence is there
15:35maybe the organism in the ice core somehow got into the mint
15:38come on nothing can survive in sub-zero temperatures for a quarter of a million years
15:42unless that's how it lives
15:46look it i don't see why you're squabbling over some bug
15:49you said it yourself scully your autopsy found those men killed each other
15:53that's it
15:54now i say let's just get the hell out of here
15:56i agree
15:57can have the body sent to a facility where they can make a definitive diagnosis
16:01in the event that something was missed agent scully
16:05if those bodies are infected with an unknown organism we can't take them back
16:09we can't go back without proper quarantine procedures we can't risk bringing back the next place
16:14let's say you're right they came down with something we haven't and i ain't waiting around until we do
16:20i think it's safe to go back there's no reason why we'd be infected we've taken all the necessary biological safeguards
16:26the dog did bite bear
16:29it jumped mother too
16:30hey look there's only one way to proceed
16:32a doctor eliminates every possibility
16:35we must determine if any of us is infected
16:38all right
16:43parasitic diagnostic procedure requires that each of us provide a blood and a stool sample
16:48a stool sample
16:49a stool sample
16:50wow
16:51this kind of travel always makes that kind of tough
16:53for me
16:54okay
16:55anybody got the morning sports section handy
16:59i ain't dropping my cargo for no one
17:02what i'm doing is getting my gear getting my plane and flying the hell out of here
17:08you can't go the dog bit you
17:10i got hired to fly you up here and fly you back
17:15no one said this might be part of the deal
17:17so the deal is over
17:23we can't let him leave without him being checked
17:25who's gonna stop him
17:26we have to
17:27we can't risk infecting the population
17:30he gets on that plane i'm gonna be on it with him
17:32but we don't have time to argue about it
17:34take a vote
17:35whoever believes we should confine bear until he agrees to an examination
17:39all right
17:51bear
17:52we just want to check you out
17:54if we don't find any trace of the parasite or the virus
17:57we'll all go
18:04all right
18:05give me the damn jar
18:07give me the damn jar
18:22perfect get a rope
18:23right
18:24right
18:25oh my god
18:35get my bag
18:39what are you gonna do
18:41scalpel
18:42i'm cutting it out
18:43we don't know enough about it
18:44i'm killing him
18:45i'm killing him
18:46he's got to have you hold the skin
18:52hold still bear
18:54oh
18:55oh
18:56oh
18:57oh
18:58oh
18:59oh

19:26oh
19:27oh
19:28This is the AICP investigative team calling Doolittle Airfield.
19:39Come in.
19:40DAF responded.
19:41This is Agent Mulder.
19:42We have a serious biological hazard.
19:44Request air pickup and quarantine procedures.
19:46Over.
19:50Come in, Doolittle Airfield.
19:52We copy, Agent Mulder.
19:53This area is under a heavy storm and no aircraft can get out for the next day.
19:56Maybe the military base in Kotzebue could set up a quarantine.
20:00Advise immediate evacuation.
20:02The Arctic storm is bearing in your direction.
20:04Over.
20:04We were told we'd have three clear days of weather.
20:06Over.
20:07Welcome to the top of the world, sir.
20:09Over.
20:11Bear in any condition to fly.
20:13If we don't get out of here in an hour, we don't get out for days.
20:20He's dead.
20:26Well, it's similar to a tapeworm in that it has a skull legs with suckers and hooks.
20:44So then it's familiar.
20:46Something you can deal with.
20:48What?
20:49No.
20:50Very different from any organism, at least, that I know of.
20:53Have you figured out how it's transmitted yet?
20:57Exchange of fluids, touch, air, all of the above?
21:00I don't know.
21:01All the other dead bodies had the creature.
21:02This is the only one that's still alive.
21:05All in the spine?
21:07No.
21:08It appears they were in the hypothalamus gland deep in the brain.
21:13Hypothalamus?
21:13What was that again?
21:14It's a gland that secretes hormones.
21:18Although, I don't know why a parasite would want to attach to it.
21:23Hypothalamus releases acetylcholine, which is what produces violent, aggressive behavior.
21:28See, that might be a connection.
21:31Everybody that's been infected certainly seems to act aggressively.
21:35Maybe the worm feeds on acetylcholine, which floods our capacity to control violent behavior.
21:40Well, a parasite shouldn't want to kill its host.
21:43No, it doesn't kill you until it's extracted.
21:46Then it releases a poison.
21:48So you're saying it's possible that the worm makes you want to kill other people,
21:52which is maybe what happened to the first team.
21:54Well, what could happen to us?
21:57It's just a theory.
21:58We don't have any definite proof.
21:59Except five dead men.
22:01If the worm makes people violently aggressive,
22:04then why did Richter and Campbell kill themselves?
22:07Maybe they did it to save us.
22:13I'm just, uh, double-checking, making sure I didn't miss anything.
22:32Just some sleep, right?
22:36Sleep.
22:36I'm so tired I can't sleep.
22:39Well, we're all wired and hypersensitive.
22:42It'll be good to get a fresh start in the morning.
22:45Mulder, I don't want to waste a second trying to find a way to kill this thing.
22:48I don't know if we should kill it.
22:50This area of the ice sheet is formed over a meteor crater.
22:55The worm lives in ammonia.
22:57It survives sub-zero temperatures.
23:00Theorists in alternative life designs believe in ammonia-supported life systems on planets with freezing temperatures.
23:05No.
23:06The meteor that crashed here a quarter of a million years ago may have carried that type of life to Earth.
23:12Mulder, that pilot developed surface symptoms within a few minutes.
23:16Within a few hours, that parasite had total control.
23:19What would happen if this got into the population?
23:24A city the size of New York could be infected within a few days.
23:29Exactly.
23:30But what do we know about it?
23:32This organism might be lying dormant in another crater.
23:35Mulder, if we don't kill it now, we run the risk of becoming Richter and Campbell with guns to our heads.
23:41But if we do kill it now, we may never know how to stop it or anything like it in the future.
23:45Future?
23:47Mulder, how can we call about this?
23:49Tell me it's hot in here.
23:58Don't worry, you don't have a fever.
24:00Heating system is malfunctioning.
24:03Outside, it's 40 below, and in here, it's well-turning.
24:06Can you hear what they're arguing about?
24:08They're probably discussing their little government secrets.
24:11You think they knew it was up here before we arrived?
24:14I'm sure of it.
24:15But what was the company who was adamant about bear posing a biological hazard?
24:19You know, bear's infected blood did get on Scully.
24:22It also got on you.
24:24How do you know it can't be contained?
24:34It can.
24:36By extermination.
24:37We should take those bodies, worms and all, outside and incinerate them.
24:41Something going on we should know about?
24:44Anything, Scully?
24:44You all right?
24:46Yes, I'm fine.
24:47It's nothing.
24:48You seem a little bit stressed out.
24:53What the hell are you trying to say?
24:55Let's all just settle down.
24:56It's been a long, hard day.
24:58We're all tired and scared.
25:00Let's not turn on one another.
25:02At least not without a good reason.
25:04Maybe we should all get some sleep.
25:05Are you kidding?
25:08You think any of us could sleep right now?
25:11Guys, let's face it.
25:12We've got to check for spots.
25:14And any person or person who has them should be confined.
25:18Are we agreed on that?
25:20Are you going to do the exams?
25:22No.
25:23We do them in front of each other.
25:26No secrets.
25:33Before anyone passes judgment, may I remind you?
25:35We are in the Arctic.
26:05Sleep tight.
26:08Don't let the bed bugs bite.
26:10Yeah.
26:11Good night.
26:28Good night, Mulder.
26:31Good night, Scully.
26:31At least everyone's okay.
26:35Don't forget, the spots on the dog went away.
26:38Good night.
26:41No.
26:41Good night.
26:42What do we do?
26:42How is it?
26:43Good night.
26:44Good night.
26:48I don't know.
26:57Hey.
26:57I don't know.
27:27I don't know.
27:57I don't know.
28:27I don't know.
28:57I don't know.
29:27I don't know.
29:57I don't know.
30:27You killed him.
30:30I found him like this.
30:31I heard one of the doors close.
30:34I came out to check it out.
30:38It's one of you.
30:39He's lying.
30:40You could have done it and not even known.
30:41No, he said he didn't do it.
30:42I don't have any of the symptoms.
30:44You checked him yourself, Hodge.
30:45Yeah, it was six hours ago.
30:46It was one of you.
30:47It was one of you.
30:47Stop it.
30:48Stop it.
30:48Shut up.
30:49Mulder, just put the gun down and let Hodge give you a blood test.
30:56So he can doctor the results.
30:57I'm not going to let him stick a needle in me.
30:59He could be infected.
31:00He has to be confined now.
31:01Then just turn around and let us take a look at your neck.
31:04I'm not turning my back on anyone.
31:06As far as I'm concerned, you're all infected.
31:08Hodge is right.
31:09We ought to lock him up.
31:11Mulder.
31:12Scully, get that gun off me.
31:14Mulder, you have to understand.
31:16Put it down.
31:17You put it down first.
31:18Scully.
31:18For God's sakes, it's me.
31:25Mulder, you may not be who you are.
31:27In here, I'll be safer than you.
31:57We'll see you.
32:51What were you doing?
33:02You know what I was doing.
33:05You know, I can't help thinking, Agent Scully.
33:07You're the only one with a gun.
33:08If you get infected, we don't stand a chance, do we?
33:21You're good.
33:30Was there something there?
33:36You're okay, Nancy.
33:38We're all okay.
33:39Now is not the time for the three of us to break down and turn on each other.
33:44There's four of us.
33:45Mulder isn't one of us anymore.
33:47If Mulder is infected, it's not his fault.
33:50We can't turn our backs on him now.
33:52He needs us to help him.
33:54She's right.
33:55Who knows what prolonged exposure to the parasite could do to him.
33:58It could damage him to the point of permanent psychosis.
34:00But if he is infected, he doesn't go back.
34:06I won't risk the possibilities.
34:08This is AICP calling Doolittle Airfield.
34:23Please come in.
34:29This is the Arctic Ice Corps Project sending a general distress call.
34:33Please respond.
34:34Nancy, you want to put a drop of the uninfected blood on the slide of the blood drawn from
34:57the pilot?
34:58Can I buy me again?
35:00Put the uninfected blood on the infected blood.
35:04No, damn it.
35:15What did I just get through telling you?
35:17You just infected already infected blood.
35:18Now we have to start all over again.
35:20I made a mistake.
35:20You don't have to yell at me.
35:21Wasted hours of work.
35:23Okay, well, then maybe you should just do it by yourself.
35:26Damn it.
35:27God, I'm not your assistant.
35:29All you do is cry.
35:37Hodge.
35:40What?
35:41Come take a look at this.
35:46The larvae from two different worms killed each other.
35:49An individual worm will not tolerate another invading its host.
36:12It does to the invader what it did to humans.
36:17It makes them kill.
36:19It doesn't make any sense for a species to kill its own.
36:21It needs another to procreate.
36:23Worms are hermaphroditic.
36:24It can reproduce itself.
36:26Look at the evidence in the microscope.
36:30This thing does not like company.
36:31So what do you say?
36:34The way to kill it is to introduce another worm into an already infected body?
36:37The way to kill it is to kill it is to kill it.
37:07How can you kill it?
37:09The way to kill it?
37:13The way to kill it is to kill it is to kill it.
37:19And I've been to kill it.
37:23I've already used to kill the next largest worm in the world in hisしました.
37:28The wind has Sammy to kill it.
37:33Absolutely.
37:34I like this.
37:36It serves okay.
38:06It passed the worms in its stool, they're dead.
38:17I want to talk to him first.
38:19Try and make this voluntary.
38:21What?
38:23You can't go it alone.
38:25If anything happens, you come inside.
38:29I can't do this to him until I'm sure.
38:34Is this you?
38:39Yes.
38:44It's one of them.
38:49No one's been killed since you've been in here.
38:53So?
38:57We found a way to kill it.
39:01Two worms in one host will kill each other.
39:10You give me one worm, you'll infect me.
39:14If that's true, then why didn't you let us inspect you?
39:18I would have, but you pulled a gun on me.
39:22No, I don't trust them.
39:25I want to trust you.

40:00there you go without?
40:02This is the last one.
40:28She's not gonna let us give it to him.
40:34Well, she'll have to if he's infected.
40:37He'll convince her somehow.
40:46I just examined him.
40:49He's uninfected.
40:52So is she.
40:54Which means that it must be one of you.
40:58All right.
41:01Let's go over to the main building.
41:03I'd like to check in myself.

43:05Oh!
43:07Oh!
43:09Oh!
43:11It's all right.
43:13It's all over.
43:15It all stops right here.
43:17Right now.
43:19Okay, I got it.
43:21Okay, I got it.
43:25CA at the intersection of Yukon and 17th.
43:28Your state patrol is on the scene.
43:30Code 3, over.
43:31Okay, lock her down.
43:37She's put in quarantine.
43:39Along with the dog, we'll keep her there until we're sure
43:41that she won't infect the rest of the population.
43:43Meanwhile, our test came back normal, so...
43:46we've been released.
43:49Plane ready.
43:51It'll take you as far from the ice as you want to go.
43:55I'm going back to the site.
43:57This time, I'm going fully prepared with proper equipment.
44:00There's still a lot of research to be done on the genetic structure,
44:03on its origins...
44:04Wait, Mulder.
44:05Don't you know?
44:06Know what?
44:0945 minutes after they evacuated us, they torched the place.
44:12There's nothing left.
44:14Who did that?
44:15The military,
44:17Centers for Disease Control?
44:19You ought to know.
44:20They're your people.
44:28It's still there, Scully.
44:32200,000 years down.
44:34In the ice.
44:36Leave it there.
44:38Leave it there.
45:06There's nothing left.
45:07It's still there.
45:08Still not.
45:09Nothing left.
45:10Visit all the media.
45:11There's nothing to stay.
45:12Fill the next one.
45:14That is still there.
45:16It's still there.
45:17That is still there.
45:18We'll be a little bit more.
45:20It's still there.
45:21It's still there.
45:22It's still there.
45:23There's nothing to sleep.
45:24I'm going to sleep.
45:25Let's stay with it.
45:26To be honest.
