The X-Files, Season 9
Cigarette Smoking Man:
What's the matter, Agent Mulder? You come to see the wise man but you look as if you've seen a ghost.
Mulder:
You're not a wise man, you're a dead man. Just like Krycek and X.
Cigarette Smoking Man:
You see a dead man, Agent Scully?
Scully:
I hoped and prayed you were dead, you chain-smoking, son of a bitch.
Cigarette Smoking Man:
You waste your time. Ask Mulder. He knows the futility of hope and prayers. He knows the truth now. You have told her the truth, haven't you, Fox? I helped you find it.
Mulder:
You didn't help me. You sent me to that government facility knowing exactly what I'd find.
Cigarette Smoking Man:
And now you've refused to speak it. Not to Scully, not to anyone, even though it would have saved your life. You damn me for my secrets, but you're afraid to speak the truth.
Mulder:
You call me afraid? Look at you sitting alone in the dark like a fossil.
Cigarette Smoking Man:
It's the final refuge. The last place to hide from those who are insidiously taking power now.
Scully:
Who?
Cigarette Smoking Man:
The aliens. They fear this place, its geology. Magnetite, like that which brought down the original UFO in Roswell. Indian wisemen realised this over 2,000 years ago. They hid here, and watched their own culture die. The original shadow government.
