The X Files1993

Fox Mulder:
[Mr. X hands Mulder an envelope] What is this?

Mr. X:
Data from a top secret military project. Born of the idea that sleep was the soldiers greatest enemy.

Fox Mulder:
Someone was conducting sleep deprivation experiments on Parris Island.

Mr. X:
Not deprivation. Eradication.

Fox Mulder:
Why?

Mr. X:
Why else? To build a better soldier. Sustained wakefulness dulls fear, heightens aggression. Science had just put a man on the moon. So they looked to science to win a losing war.

Fox Mulder:
And Willig and Cole were the lab rats.

Mr. X:
Lab rats with the highest kill ratio in the Marine Corps. Four thousand plus confirmed kills for a thirteen-man squad.

Fox Mulder:
You think Cole's behind what's happening now?

Mr. X:
I'm not here to do your thinking, Agent Mulder. All I know is Augustus Cole hasn't slept in twenty-four years.
