SCENE 8
SCULLY'S APARTMENT

(Scully twists and turns in bed, unable to sleep. The doorbell rings twice. She turns on the lights and looks through the peephole. Perplexed, she unlocks her door and looks at Frohike.)

SCULLY: Frohike?

FROHIKE: I know it's late but I heard the news.

(She looks down at the bottle of wine in his hand.)

Maybe I should go. Pardon my presumptuousness.

SCULLY: How much have you had to drink?

(He holds up the near-empty bottle.)

FROHIKE: Do you recycle?

(She smiles. Afterwards, he sits at her table. She pours him a cup of coffee.)

He was a good friend. A redwood among sprouts.

(He takes a sip of his coffee as she pours herself a cup.)

I guess this means he's passing you the torch.

(She sits down and looks at him.)

SCULLY: Uh, I'm afraid not. I'm soon to be out of a job.

FROHIKE: Those sons of bitches. They're rigging the game.

SCULLY: And like rats, they just scatter back into the woodpile.

(She takes a sip as he pulls a newspaper article out of his jacket. He hands it to her. The headline reads: "Homicide Victim's Body Discovered at City Dump.")

FROHIKE: The rats that killed the cat.

SCULLY: What's this?

FROHIKE: A news item about Kenneth Soona, a.k.a. "The Thinker." The man who hacked the MJ files. The ones he gave to Mulder.

SCULLY: "Kenneth J. Soona was killed execution style in what appears to be a professional murder. His body found in the Trenton City landfill." What's the date on this?

(She scans down the page and comes across "The body was discovered April 16.")

This was the day before yesterday. This is after Mulder disappeared. Could they be so stupid?
