Skinner:
Dr. Voss, can you enlighten us as to what Dr. Scobie intended to tell the grand jury? We know it had to do with company research.

[The Lead Counsel, a large lawyerly looking man sitting next to Voss interrupts as Voss is about to answer]

Lead Counsel:
I'm sorry. Dr. Voss would be in violation of his employment confidentiality clause in answering that question.

Skinner:
Dr. Scobie was your friend?

Dr. Peter Voss:
Yeah, for 14 years, mm-hmm.

Skinner:
And yet you demoted him five weeks ago. You took him off a particular project. Can you tell us why that happened?

Lead Counsel:
[interrupting] As before, Dr. Voss would be in violation of his confidentiality clause in answering questions regarding the nature of his work here at Morley. I'm sure you understand our cooperation cannot extend itself to revealing corporate secrets.

Skinner:
[getting pissed] Yeah, I'm not sensing any "cooperation" whatsoever. In fact, I'm one more non-answer away from getting a federal warrant and searching this entire building.

Lead Counsel:
Then this meeting is over. Dr. Voss. [The lawyers all begin to get up from the table. Mulder pulls an evidence bag from his pocket]

Mulder:
Dr. Voss... can you tell me what that is? [He tosses the bag to Voss. Inside is the dead beetle from Jim Scobie's glass]

Dr. Peter Voss:
It's a tobacco beetle. Why?

Mulder:
We found it at Jim Scobie's house.

Dr. Peter Voss:
Well, you'll find a lot of these around here. They're everywhere. There's probably a dozen in the grill of your car right now.

Lead Counsel:
May I ask where you're going with this, Agent?

Mulder:
[sarcastically] I'm sorry, I can't. Answering that question would violate FBI confidentiality due to the sensitive nature of our investigation.
