The X-Files, Season 5
Mulder:
Four years ago, while working on an assignment outside the FBI mainstream I was paired with Special Agent Dana Scully who I believe was sent to spy on me. To debunk my investigations into the paranormal. That Agent Scully did not follow these orders is a testament to her integrity as an investigator, a scientist, and a human being. She has paid dearly for this integrity.
Section Chief Scott Blevins:
Agent Mulder, Agent Scully lied straightfaced to this panel about your death.
Mulder:
She lied because I asked her to. Because I had evidence of a conspiracy, a conspiracy against the American people.
Senior Agent:
We've already heard testimony to these allegations Agent Mulder.
Mulder:
AND a conspiracy intended to destroy the lives of those who would reveal its true purpose. To conduct experiments on unwitting victims to further a secret agenda for someone within the government operating at levels without restraint or responsibility, without morals or conscience. Men who pretend to honor as they deceive, the price of this betrayal the lives and reputations of those deceived. Agent Scully...is lying in a hospital bed right now, diagnosed with terminal cancer. A victim of these same tests, conducted without her knowledge or consent. By these same men, who as they try to cover their tracks, who suborne and persecute the same people they have used in their plot, I will NOW call by name.
Senior Agent:
Agent Mulder did you, or did you not shoot the man found dead in your apartment?
Mulder:
I will answer that question, Sir.
Section Chief Scott Blevins:
Did you shoot Scott Ostlehoff? Employee of the Department of Defense?
Mulder:
I will answer that question, Sir.
Senior Agent:
Answer the question asked, Agent Mulder!
Mulder:
I will answer the question after I name the man!
Section Chief Scott Blevins:
AGENT MULDER!
Mulder:
I will answer that question after I name the man who's responsible for Agent Scully! The same man who directed that my apartment be surveilled by the DoD. A man I want to see prosecuted for his crimes! Who's sitting in this very room as I speak!
Senior Agent:
Agent Mulder, the Section Chief has asked you a question you are going to answer!
Mulder:
I can't do that, sir!
Senior Agent:
You can and you will!
Mulder:
I can't do that, sir...because the Section Chief is the man I'm about to name!
