The X Files

The X Files1993



Mulder:
Why weren't we told the truth?

Cigarette Smoking Man:
We didn't know the truth. What we knew only would have slowed you down.

Mulder:
But innocent people could be infected! What you knew could have prevented that!

Cigarette Smoking Man:
How? In 1988 there was an outbreak of hemorrhagic fever in Sacramento, California. The truth would have caused panic. Panic would have caused lives. We controlled the disease by controlling the information.

Mulder:
You can't protect the public by lying to them.

Cigarette Smoking Man:
It's done everyday.
