"I'm on the Clay Street platform." " Got a fare jumper." " White male, shaved head, 20s." " Possible 10-13." " Officer Philbrick." " All clear." " Deputy Chief Karras, Transit Police." " Lieutenant Bianco." "  You're Scully and Doggett?" "  Yes." "  ls the assessment team here?" "  Downstairs, waiting." " Where have you been?" " Agent Scully needed to examine the body of the victim first." " Who's missing the picture here?" " I got lots of people can examine the body." " What I need from the fbi now is a time frame." " A time frame?" " A main artery of the Boston transport system has been closed for exactly 11 hours and four minutes." " My phone is ringing off the hook with calls from the press." " I got 100,000 pissed-off commuters who were late to work, who will be even more pissed off if they can't get home." " And I got one extremely pissed-off mayor paying me to keep the damn trains running." "  We appreciate the pressure you're under..." " lt's you guys better kick it in the ass." " The afternoon rush starts in five hours." " Do what you gotta do, but the line is going back into operation at 4pm." "  l'm afraid you can't do that." "  Yes, I can." " You've got a dead man who's got over one third of his body tissue eaten away, and until we figure out how and why, that tunnel cannot be reopened." " We understand the fbi's need to do an investigation, but, as I see it, the facts of this case are pretty simple." "  Simple?" "  The train briefly lost power, during which time an assailant killed a Boston transit cop." " That man is still at large." "  An assailant using what?" "  Acid?" " Lye?" "  Your examination must've told you." "  No, it didn't." " That's the thing." " Until we culture the tissue and run tests, we won't know what killed him or if it can infect others." " The Centers for Disease Control had robotic sniffers in the tunnel all night." " They found no trace of biological or chemical agents." " So let's clear this up." " What we're looking for is a man - a cop killer." " A single suspect." " At least, that's your cover story." " That's what you're telling the press." " The question is: can you get me the killer or an explanation in five hours?" " Cos, hell or high water, the subway reopens at 4pm sharp." " Now let's go." " Steven Melnick." " Transportation Authority's chief structural engineer." " He built this tunnel." " I only oversaw construction of it four years ago.  I know every square inch down there." " Dr Hellura Lyle, Special Pathogens Branch, CDC." " We were told the tunnel was clear of pathogens." " Well, I guess I'm just here for the moral support." " We're just covering our bases." "  What base are they covering?" "  Agent Scully is a medical doctor, who, they tell me, has a lot of experience with equivocal death." " Equivocal?" " I mean, you're dead or you're not, right?" " Deaths which may have many explanations or for which an explanation may be hard to find." " What about you?" "  l'm just a good shot." "  Good." " Now that we're bosom buddies, let's get this show on the road." "  You need some help with that?" "  No." "  You're going in without me." "  What?" " I don't know what games are being played but I'm gonna be much more effective analyzing the situation from up here." " Yeah, then I'm just a tagalong here." " This is your thing." " You've got all the experience." " You've got capable people with you, Agent Doggett." " What I need down there are eyes and ears." " OK." " I'll be your eyes and ears." " Only I wish someone would tell me what the hell it is I'm supposed to be looking for." " Third rail's powering down." " You're clear to enter the subway floor." " As long as you stay on this line, there should be no risk of accidental shock or electrocution." "  You copy that, Agent Doggett?" "  Yep." " We're on the tunnel floor." " Hope you got yourself a nice, clear picture, Agent Scully." " We got you every step of the way." "  lt feels like Atlanta in August." "  Yeah.  lt's the middle of winter." "  How come it's so hot down here?" "  They shut down ventilation last night." " Normally you have almost a million cubic feet of fresh air per minute pushing through here." " But now we're in a sweatbox." " Aren't we lucky!" " Hot, sticky, and crawling in the dark." " All so every commuter in Boston can get home to watch Survivor ll." " I wonder why they shut down the ventilation if it's a man we're looking for." " If you doubt that so much, Agent Doggett, why bring a gun?" " Agent Doggett, you still reading me?" " Like a songbird, Agent Scully." "  My neck." " Get it off." "  What's going on?" "  lt's burning." "  Hold still." " Whatjust happened?" " He's got a burn on his neck, silver-dollar size." "  You get seepage down here?" "  Yeah, constantly." " This line was tunneled through landfill adjacent to the harbor." " Part of the Big Dig." " There was a puddle 20 yards back." "  You hear that, Agent Scully?" "  Yeah." " Ask Dr Lyle if she can get a sample." "  We need you to get a sample." "  OK.  I'm on it." " Maybe it's not a man we're looking for, but some sort of toxic leak." " We were told there are no contaminants down here." " Tell her I'm sending this." " We're transmitting." "  You online, Agent Scully?" "  Yeah, I got it." " I'm getting a reading." " Sample analysis is showing carbon, bromide, boron and calcium." " It's just sea water." " Let me get on the phone." " Maybe I can get a molecular analysis." " Four hours, Agent Scully." " Take it easy." " Agent Doggett." " What?" "  What is it?" "  There's somebody in the tunnel." " All right, let's go find him." " Open this line in four hours, passengers'll get more than just a ride." " They'll get a steam bath to boot." " What are you doing?" " If this guy was gonna shoot me, he had his chance." " Besides, I'm sweatin' like a pig." " Mr Melnick, what's this?" " It's a tunnel from the old system." " Been shut down for years." " You see this, Agent Scully?" " You have this on your graphic?" " Yeah.  lt's a fork in the line." " That line is obsolete." " It's been gutted and decommissioned." " How far from here to where the train lost power, Agent Scully?" " It's about a mile up the main tunnel." " He's gonna waste valuable time going in there." " Agent Doggett?" "  Agent Doggett." "  l'm just taking a look." " Let's get out of here." " Mr Melnick, what's your call?" " is there any good reason to pursue this section?" " Lots of places to hide in here." "  Dr Lyle?" "  Agent Doggett, look out." " Agent Doggett, what happened?" " Can you hear me?" " Yeah." " No." " Give me a minute." " What hit me?" " He came at you like some kind of phantom." " What did?" " Agent Doggett?" "  Would you call that equivocal?" "  Agent Scully?" " OK, I see it." "  l'm gonna need some data." "  Agent Scully needs some data." "  l'm already on it." "  l think this guy killed Officer Philbrick." " I'm transmitting some photos." " Here comes your data, Agent Scully." " Oh, my God." "  Where are you goin'?" "  l think I just saw something." "  What's the problem?" "  There's no problem." " This man fits the description called in by my transit cop." " We've found what we were looking for." " Let's get him wrapped up and go home." " See it?" " There's something on the floor." " Agent Scully, we got bodies." " Looks like three males." "  Agent Scully?" "  Yeah, I see 'em." " Can you get any closer?" " The smell's a little overpowering." " They've been here for a while." " Someone wrapped 'em up and stashed 'em here." " Can you get them uncovered?" " They look like squatters, from the way they're dressed." " I'm not sure I wanna touch these." " I see signs of the same tissue degradation we saw in the other victims." " We may have a contagion here after all." " What did she say?" " Dr Lyle." " Down here." " CDC may be wrong." " Somebody's over here." " Agent Doggett?" " Whatever she saw..." " What did you see?" "  Somebody out here just took off." "  l don't see where." "  We're done down here." "  Agent Doggett." "  Hold it, Lieutenant." " If there's somebody else down there, you need to find them." " What are you doing?" " Get those people out." " They found three dead bodies." " I want to know what happened to them." " They are in an obsolete, decommissioned tunnel." " I'll get a crew down there tonight, after rush hour." " They could be infected and contagious." " With what?" " Sea water?" " You are being irrational here." " The CDC says there are no contaminants." " I'm gonna take their word on it." " Then who are those dead men and how did they die?" " Probably tunnel rats, squatters, attacked by the same man who killed my transit cop." " Then take a look at the man who fits the description of your killer, OK?" " Just look at his injuries." " He died the same way." " There is something down there.  I will not risk bringing it up here until I figure out what it is." "  Agent Scully?" "  Yeah?" " What do you want us to do?" " Leave those bodies where you found them and go after whoever is in that tunnel." " We need to know whether he is causing this, or if he's infected himself." " Either way, he may kill more people." " I'm sure Dr Lyle will agree." " All right, we just got our order." "  We're gonna continue on." "  Says who?" " Says the boss." " Agent Doggett." " This agent you work with deals with weird stuff, right?" " She works on something called the X-Files." " fbi cases of unexplained phenomena." "  You know her at all?" "  Yeah, I know her." " We've worked together for a short time." " I wonder why she sent you down here instead of coming herself." " It's the right call." " You got a problem, Lieutenant?" " Yeah, when somebody I don't know keeps me down here in the dark looking forjack squat when we've already found our man." "  lt's a question of contagion." "  lt's a question of who's in charge." " Agent Doggett?" "  Yeah." "  You all right down there?" " Fine." " What have you got for us?" " You're about 50 yards from the spot where the train stopped." " What am I looking for?" " I don't know." " Anything." " Get it off me." "  What is it?" "  l don't know, but it burns." "  Just hold still." " Let us see it." "  lt burns." " What is it?" " What's happening?" "  Agent Doggett?" "  l can't tell what it is." " Agent Scully, talk to me." " Yeah..." "Get some fresh water on it." " Give me water here." " What the hell was that?" " I don't know, and I don't like it that you don't." " Agent Scully, talk to me." " I don't know what to say." " It's something attacking the dermis." " Attacking?" " It ate his arm off." " I hate to say this, but it looks like some kind of biochemical weapon." " Great." "  What?" "  What did she say?" " She said a lot of people might be taking cabs home tonight." " What the hell is this thing?" " It might be a terrorist using a biochemical agent." " Might?" " is she guessing'?" " Agent Doggett, I pulled up a map of the subway grid where you are now." " I want you to listen to me." " She says this tunnel connects to another tunnel 100 yards up." " It's the only place this guy could be hiding." "  This man ain't goin' nowhere." "  Then you take care of him." " I'll have a HAZMAT team come down here." " Lieutenant, let's go." " We're gonna get you out of here." " Come on." " I got you, buddy." " Hang in there." " Dr Lyle." "  Dr Lyle, how are you feeling?" "  Me?" " I seem to be OK, but Melnick is getting worse." " Vehicles are on the way." " The CDC doctors know of your conditions." " What are they gonna be treating us for?" "  How are they gonna treat Melnick?" "  l'm working on that." " What are you doing?" " Where are you taking them?" " Those bodies go to the CDC." " As a federal agent, I order you to stop." " Agent Scully, we are on a deadline here which is fast approaching." " These bodies need immediate examination and diagnosis." "  That is being arranged." "  By whom?" " I already arranged it." "  You knew those bodies were down there." "  Watch yourself, Agent Scully." " Look at the way they're wrapped." " Somebody sealed them in plastic hoping they wouldn't be found." " If you sent my partner down there knowing about this..." "You are way out of line here." " I want to see inspection reports." " I want to know who was down there in that tunnel and what they saw." "  l'll get you anything you want." "  Good." " Let's get these bodies to the CDC where they're supposed to go." "  What's this here, Lieutenant?" "  Abandoned station." " Old stop." " Agent Scully." " Here we are, pissin' away our time, and she's asleep at the wheel." " Come on, Agent Doggett." " Make a decision." " Let's get out of here." " We gotta find whoever it is that's still down here, Lieutenant." " And what if we don't find him?" " Maybe it'll be us they find lying face down on the floor, dead." " Agent Scully knows what she's doing." "  This is about saving people's lives." "  lt looks like it's about saving her life." " If she knows what she's doing, why hasn't she figured it out yet?" " Lieutenant..." " Walk towards me." "  What?" " What, damn it?" " The stuff's on me." " You see that?" " It's spreading." " I told you we should've gotten out." " That's exactly why we gotta stay." " You saw." " You saw what it does." " Yeah, I saw what it did." " But I don't see it having any other effect on you, so just calm down." " No.  I'm gettin' out of here.  I'm leavin'." "  You'd do it, wouldn't you?" "  Not because I want to." " But you're pushin' pretty hard." " So put your weapon down, Lieutenant, right now." " Now, we're gonna get out of here, but we're gonna wait for the OK." " Agent Doggett, can you..." "Come in, Agent Doggett." " Come in, damn it." " is this a bad time?" " Excuse me?" " I don't know.  I'm looking for an fbi agent, Dana Scully." "  Do you know where l can find him?" "  No." " Yes.  I mean, I'm she." "  Can I help you?" "  Yes.  I'm Dr Kai Bowe." " I was sent a scribbled note and a saltwater sample for analysis." " I'm a marine biologist from BU." " I'm sorry." " Yes." " Dr Bowe, please." "  Did you get an analysis?" "  Yes.  I have something to show you." " I'm going to assume you're in a hurry." " This is an image taken from a stereomicroscope of what's called a medusa." " Your saltwater sample was deceiving." " Its components are as you'd expect, except for higher levels of calcium." " This creature is primarily that." "  Calcium?" "  Yes." " It's what powers its movement and gives it bioluminescence." " So you're saying that this is a sea creature." "  Which is why the CDC missed it." "  Well, it's hard to find." " I dare say I'm not even sure if it's of the sea, but... wherever it's from, it's quite incredible." " It's killing people." "  How?" "  l don't know." " There is sea water in that tunnel, and it's eating people's flesh off." " It's producing some kind of a reaction that looks almost electrical." "  On contact?" "  No." " Something triggers it." "  Have you been in the tunnel?" "  No, I have not." " But my partner is down there, and I fear the worst." " Anybody out there?" " Somebody." " Anybody hear me?" " Anybody?" " Agent Doggett, can you hear me?" " Yeah." " I'm here.  I hear you." " God, you frightened me." " I started fearing the worst." " No, I got blindsided by... I don't see Lieutenant Bianco." " He's infected with something." " I saw it glowing' on his skin." " And what's your condition, Agent Doggett?" " I'm gonna assume it's not good." " I'm gonna send a quarantine unit down to get you.  I want you to stay right where you are." " I appreciate it, but I can't do that." " If we're gonna stop the spread of this thing, I gotta stop Lieutenant Bianco." " Dr Bowe, I need you to get on the phone with the CDC." " Tell them everything we know." " We have to learn as quickly as possible what sets this thing off." " Look, I need you to blockade any and every exit from this system." " You've got a possible outbreak situation." "  That's not going to happen." "  No, you listen to me." " Your lieutenant is infected and at large in the system, looking for a way out." " I hear you." " It's just that there are already passengers waiting on the platform." " Agent Doggett, we've got a new wrinkle." " Don't tell me." " We're running out of time.  lt's 20 to four." "  l'm moving as fast as I can." "  You shouldn't be moving at all." " In 20 minutes I'll be taking a long bath at the hotel." " Right now, I gotta find this guy." " This organism that's on your skin, something triggers it, and I don't know what." " It could be body temperature or heart rate." " It could be from standin' still too, right?" " Maybe the only thing keeping me from sparking' up right now is that I'm movin'." " Yeah.  I guess you're right." " I'm gettin' out of this thing, Agent Scully." " Just make sure Karras holds those trains till I find Bianco." " He's got passengers waiting at the next station." " You tell that son of a bitch he's gotta clear the system." " He's..." "Wait.  I see something." " Lieutenant..." "He's hurt." " You see this, Dr Bowe?" " You see this, Mr Karras?" " You got the CDC?" " I need anything they can give me about what sets this organism off." " An idea, a notion, a wild guess." " Agent Scully, what do you want me to do?" " Get out of there, Agent Doggett." " What about this man?" " I'm gonna send a HAZMAT team down for him, but from what I've seen... the reaction's progressive." " Please, Agent Doggett, don't leave me here." " I hope you enjoy the ride." " See this, Agent Scully?" " Yeah." "  Who else is down there?" "  We don't know." " You there." " Stop." " Federal agent.  I'm armed." " Agent Scully, you believe this?" " Who are you?" " What's your name?" " What are you doin' down here?" " What's he pointing at?" " I don't know." "  ls he infected?" "  Agent Doggett, turn the light away." " Nothing." " He's unaffected." "  How's that?" "  l think I just figured it out." " I might know what triggers this." "  What is it?" "  Sweat." " Perspiration is a conductor for calcium ions, promoting a chemical-electrical reaction." "  Electricity?" "  That's right." " The boy's sweat glands aren't fully developed, so he wouldn't be as conductive." " Just my luck." "  Agent Doggett, where is he going?" "  l don't know, but he wants me to follow him." " Agent Scully, I don't know if you can see this." " I think I found the source of the contagion." " Looks like a big leak in the ceiling is crumbling the walls, flooding into the system." " It must have seeped in from the bay." " Where are you goin'?" " You see this?" " The kid's walkin' right through this stuff." " Yeah.  I'm checking my graphic here." " It looks like he's trying to lead you through to a tunnel on the main system." " And if this is accurate, it would put you about 400 yards from an access point." " If I could put a HAZMAT team together, we might be able to have you out in 15 minutes." " Come on, Lieutenant." " We're through to the main system, Agent Scully." " We got big problems here." " Yes, we do." "  You see this flooding'?" "  No, it's worse than that." " I think this moron Karras has started the trains rolling." " Agent Doggett, what are you doing?" " Get off the tracks, Agent Doggett." " Get out of there." " We got people on the train." " They could get infected." " Get out of there, Agent Doggett." " Give it to me." " I got an idea, Agent Scully." " Agent Doggett?" " Talk to me, Agent Doggett." " Agent Doggett?" " Are you there?" " Can you hear me?" " Yeah, I'm here." " Thank God." " I lost you on the visual." " OK." " OK, I've got you." " You're back." " Are you OK?" " I can only hope, Agent Scully." " Nurse." " Where do you think you're going?" " To find the nurse." " She said she was gonna talk to the doctor about me goin' home." " I could be dyin' in here for all she knows." " Well, you're not, Agent Doggett." " Your skin and body are rid of the organism." " A simple alcohol bath cleaned you right up." " I was just down talking to the nurse and... I told her I'd come and give you the news." " Well, can I get outta here?" " Yes." " What about the others?" " Well, the kid is with Social Services." " Plastic surgeons are working on Melnick and Bianco." " And Dr Lyle has been discharged." " You know, I'd like to think that this is over." " But there's gonna be hell to pay for these guys." " No, it's over, Agent Doggett." " Excuse me?" " This guy Karras put a train back on the tracks." "  He recklessly endangered people's lives." "  But there is no proof of that." " What do you mean, there's no proof?" " What I'm saying is that the organism is no longer extant." "  lt's destroyed." "  By what?" " I'm guessing by the electrical charge that you set off." " We got victims." " Dead bodies." " lnfected by a pathogen of unknown etiology." " Look, Agent Doggett, not a criminal charge is gonna stick." " These guys were just doing theirjob." " Keeping the trains running." " But they've got you to thank." " And notjust for saving their butts." " No." " You figured it out." " I was just your eyes and ears." " Agent Scully..." "Let's go home." " Visiontext Subtitles:" "Doreen Trenerry" "US english"
