doggett

DOGGETT stares at her for a moment, then puts his coat back on and walks out of the office.

DOGGETT looks at him a moment, then indicates for SKINNER to walk apart with him. Two manly-men talking about manly things.

(Realising what his comment has revealed. ) This was you, wasn't it? You floated that obituary to me. To set Agent Doggett up, using me.

DOGGETT: Would he? Would he tell you about this? About his headstone ?

An SUV pulls up beside the other trucks. SKINNER is driving. SCULLY gets out of the passenger side and walks up to DOGGETT.

In a Sept. 21 letter to Mr. Doggett, he said: "The Citigroup guarantees raise important oversight concerns. "

income residential street. MARTIN WELLS knock at the door. DOGGETT step up and pounds much more forcefully on the door. Oh, so manly!

DOGGETT points his finger at someone out of the screen range. We see AGENT GENE CRANE stand up and turn around to speak to the other AGENTS.

DOGGETT ejects the tape out of the recorder and looks at it.

Later, on the desert floor at the base of the cliff. DOGGETT and his agents are investigating the scene. They look a little confused.

Police investigators come and go quickly as the tape rewinds . DOGGETT stops it when MARTIN WELLS appears in the door.

DOGGETT: What happened to Mulder? I know what you're gonna say or not because you think I'm the big bad wolf. Do you really believe it?

DOGGETT is sitting in the bullpen just as SCULLY turns over his badge to read his name .

Interrogation room. MARTIN WELLS, fresh cut on his face, greets DOGGETT and SCULLY as they enter. DOGGETT winces at the sight of the cut.

She lets him into her apartment , and walks into her bedroom to put William to sleep . Doggett closes the door behind him .

SCULLY's apartment. There's a knock at the door. SCULLY answers it. DOGGETT's standing there, looking panicked.

SKINNER guards the door. DOGGETT is searching a filing cabinet and sees several files marked Chloramine.

KERSH: My task force leader on this, Special Agent John Doggett. He's waiting to hear from you now.

Considering the recent violence against Agent Doggett, you might want to want to know who's at the door before you actually open it.

His interest piqued , DOGGETT walks over to REYES . He looks at the TV screen and sees a video- recording of an empty parking garage .

Out in the hall, DOGGETT and his agents, guns drawn are approaching her location.

The door opens and DOGGETT enters the office.

DOGGETT sits well stone-faced as she leaves the room, closing the door firmly behind her.

DOGGETT, clearly frustrated by something, says nothing and walking into the office he puts his coat off.

An officer wheels in a gurney for one of the bodies. REYES and DOGGETT turn away.

DOGGETT looking up under the dropped ceiling in GIBSON PRAISE's room. His flashlight finds an unconscious SKINNER, his eyes badly wounded.

Police station. MARTIN WELLS watches through a window as DOGGETT interviews the SPIDERWEB MAN. DOGGETT comes out of the room.

KERSH's office. Two other agents [movers? ] are with him. DOGGETT enters.

SKINNER walks down the crowded halls of the FBI and enters the Bullpen. All the Task Force is there, plus KERSH, DOGGETT and SCULLY.

DOGGETT: Agent Mulder went so far in one report to claim that the boy may have alien physiology.

SKINNER turns away and leaves. SCULLY watches as DOGGETT picks up a phone and she turns to follow SKINNER.

DOGGETT: A year ago, Agent Mulder was hospitalized. Ring a bell? Something to do with his brain?

In DOGGETT 's file is a picture of young GIBSON PRAISE , last seen at the beginning of Season 6 .

The AGENTS begin to leave. AGENT GENE CRANE comes over to DOGGETT with the picture.

Camera moves to KERSH observing as SKINNER looks at him and at DOGGETT then back to CRANE.

SCULLY enters the autopsy room. DOGGETT and REYES are already there, standing over the dead body on the table, covered by a sheet.

DOGGETT: And then you got tired and decided to take a nap.

DOGGETT clicks the phone off dejectedly. He looks over at SKINNER, still dressed casually. SKINNER is, well, smirking. DOGGETT is offended.

DOGGETT opens the door to MULDER's apartment.

DOGGETT: All right. I got some light on this. Maybe you can help me out here, Agent Scully.

DOGGETT looks away for a moment, then back at SCULLY. He sighs.

Alone behind the building, DOGGETT notices small foot prints.

Another AGENT whispers in DOGGETT 's ear . Two TECHNICIANS wheel in a large object in a crate and begin opening it .

DOGGETT: No one else is involved? Someone out there acting under orders from another office?

Without looking at DOGGETT, SCULLY opens the drawer, gets the food and feeds the fish.

She sighs and begins walking back toward the helicopter. DOGGETT runs after her.

DOGGETT and SKINNER in the car in the FBI parking garage with AGENT CRANE on the roof of their car and KNOWLE ROHRER in pursuit.

The elevator doors open and as KERSH walks out of the elevator, DOGGETT stares hardly after him.

DOGGETT looks at her questioningly .

DOGGETT is on the phone standing by a desk a few feet away watching her.

DOGGETT is a passenger in the helicopter . He receives a call from another agent on the ground.

CUT TO: The X-Files office. REYES is watching the video footage. She looks up as DOGGETT walks in.

DOGGETT: All right, have the principal take him out of class and put him someplace where he can keep an eye on him until we arrive.

My task force leader on this, Special Agent John Doggett.

Inside the hospital. SCULLY and DOGGETT enter. Other agents are in the waiting area.

DOGGETT catches up to them and holds his gun on the man.

DOGGETT: I guess I just find it hard to swallow that a scientist, a serious person, could buy that. Ever see an alien, Agent Scully?

DOGGETT looks around and seeing the whole apartment empty, he turns and walks out.

DOGGETT ignores her and leaves. SCULLY and SKINNER are left together.

DOGGETT is in KERSH's office. KERSH is looking at hospital images from the case.

He thinks it was me. He thinks that I did this to him. (to DOGGETT) How is that possible?

DOGGETT: This task force-- the search for Mulder, I'm running it, right?

(On phone) Agent Doggett, I'm getting reports from Arizona.

DOGGETT's voice stops SCULLY and she turns back to him.

DOGGETT: You tossed it there, didn't you? You had just enough time to drive to Baltimore and commit the murder.

In GIBSON PRAISE's room, DOGGETT's agents have joined him. DOGGETT looks at the window. He is clearly frustrated.

DOGGETT: I believe him. That still doesn't tell us who used Mulder's card to get in there.

KNOWLE ROHRER and DOGGETT talking in the X-Files office.

We hear a phone ringing through Doggett's receiver.

interrogation room . martin wells is sitting at one side of the room in an orange prison jumpsuit . scully and doggett enter.

In the FBI Bullpen, DOGGETT answers the phone.

DOGGETT: That he was abducted by aliens?

What I want to know is how Doggett got out here. How did he even know where we were going?

I can't very well do it. How would it look? I'm under investigation by Agent Doggett. You have no personal axe to grind.

FOLLMER's office, he's watching the same news report as DOGGETT.

DOGGETT: How well did you really know him? How far would Mulder go?

DOGGETT: I just came by to feed the fish.

DOGGETT: If this is McFarland's desk he's got tons of files on chloramine in it.

DOGGETT: Is the kid in school now?

SCULLY: "John Doggett. " Kersh's task force leader. You might have just introduced yourself.

DOGGETT: (suggestively) I could ask you the same.

SCULLY: What do you want to get on me, Agent Doggett? What is it you hope to find?

DOGGETT: Kid went out the window. (notices SCULLY and SKINNER) What are you doing here?

Doggett comes over and looks at the computer under the desk.

DOGGETT: (on phone) For what? Who is this?

DOGGETT: It's one reason. (He looks at the crate. )
