One Breath

SCENE 7
NORTHEAST GEORGETOWN MEDICAL CENTER; WASHINGTON, D.C.

(Frohike walks in, decked out in a suit and bowtie, carrying flowers. He walks to the nurse?s desk.)

NURSE: May I help you?

FROHIKE: Uh, Dana Scully, please.

(Mulder looks over to the voice, moving the phone away from his ear.)

MULDER: Frohike?

(A nurse pulls open the curtains and takes Frohike?s flowers. They look at Scully, Frohike saddened. He takes a look at her charts.)

FROHIKE: Hey, Mulder. This is weird.


SCENE 8
THE LONE GUNMEN'S OFFICE; WASHINGTON, D.C.

(Byers is sitting down, looking at the charts. Mulder sits at another desk. Frohike is standing, and Langly walks over and sits on the desk behind Mulder.)

BYERS: Good work sneaking out these charts.

FROHIKE: Snuck ?em in my pants.

MULDER: There?s plenty of room down there.

(Frohike looks at him and sits down on the desk next to Byers.)

LANGLY: You look down, Mulder. Tell you what, you?re welcome to come over Saturday night. We?re all hopping on the internet to nitpick the scientific inaccuracies of "Earth 2."

MULDER: I?m doing my laundry.

BYERS: The chart shows abnormal protein chains in the blood. The amino acid sequence is in a combination I?ve never seen before.

(He slides his chair over to the computer. They all walk over to him.)

I?ve downloaded Scully?s medical data to the newest Lone Gunman.

FROHIKE: He goes by the name "The Thinker."

BYERS: This guy?s a hacking genius.

(On the screen is a picture of Nixon with such phrases as "I am not a crook!" and "Let me make this perfectly clear..." The screen flips to one that has a 3-D image of Scully?s DNA, as well as two other charts with DNA coding. The computer beeps twice and sentences begin filing in. Byers and Langly read it and look worried.

MULDER: What?

BYERS: The Thinker reports the protein chains are a result of branched DNA.

MULDER: Branched DNA?

LANGLY: The cutting edge of genetic engineering.

BYERS: A biological equivalent of a silicon microchip.

LANGLY: This is way beyond cutting edge. This technology fifty years down the line.

MULDER: What?s it used for?

FROHIKE: Could be a tracking system.

BYERS: Developmental stages of a biological marker.

MULDER: You mean a high-tech identity card?

LANGLY: Or something as insidious as grafting a human into something... inhuman.

(The computer beeps again.)

BYERS: Good theories, gentlemen, but all for naught.

(He points at a protein data map.)

This branched DNA is inactive. It?s waste product. Whoever was experimenting on Scully is finished. Now it?s nothing more than a biological poison.

MULDER: Will she live?

(Byers looks at Mulder, then at Langly, who looks back solemnly.)

BYERS: Um... her immune system has been decimated and, uh... I doubt even a healthy human body has the ability to fight this. Mulder, there?s nothing you can do.
