Página PrincipalInternal dating: Story takes place between November 17-22, 1990. There are also flashbacks that take place between June 24-27, 1952.
Repeated knocking and calling out Skur's name get no action, so the sheriff asks the landlord to unlock the door. The sheriff enters the dwelling with his gun drawn.
Once inside the house, both men make faces and comment about a smell. Flies can be heard buzzing in the background. "Smells like a whole lotta somethin' went bad," the sheriff says. Skur is nowhere to be seen.
The sheriff and the landlord proceed to conduct a search of the house; a charming two-story frame house complete with boarded-up windows, broken down furniture, dirty dishes scattered about the kitchen, a gloomy, claustrophobic atmosphere and cockroaches for that added ambiance.
The two men proceed up the stairs. The landlord half-enters a room and sees something which causes him to blanch and recoil and rush down the stairs gagging and retching.
The sheriff takes a look into the same room--a bathroom. "Ain't nothin' but a glove," he says laconically as we see what appears to be just that hanging off the side of the bath tub. "No reason to--" He breaks off as he further enters the room, sinking to his knees as he gets a good look at what is *in* the bath tub. The sheriff is looking pale and sick at this point.
What he'd thought was a glove is, in fact, a desiccated hand; a hand that is attached to a body which looks as if it has been sucked dry of all fluids. The body appears to be almost mummified, its skin darkened. It is wearing some ragged, rotting clothing. Sex is indeterminate, but it appears to have been male.
While the sheriff is trying to process what he is seeing, he is attacked from behind. As he is jerked over backwards, he fires his gun at the fleeing assailant, who appears to be male, judging by his footwear and pants. The assailant, hit, tumbles down the stairs.
The sheriff cautiously goes down the stairs, gun in hand. The attacker, an elderly man, is still alive and appears to be mumbling or moaning. As the sheriff draws closer, the word "Mulder" can clearly be heard emanating from the man's foam or spittle-covered lips.
The credits roll. The truth is out there.
Washington, DC. November 21, 1990. Mulder gets out of a steel blue 1990 Ford Taurus and enters a nondescript building. He is conservatively dressed in a dark suit and shoes, white shirt, burgundy coloured tie and dark, belted trench coat. His hair is parted on the left and he appears to be wearing a ring on the third finger of his left hand.
The only window in the hallway down which he walks is boarded up. Noises can be heard coming from the other apartments. Rich people do not live here.
He knocks on the door of an apartment and confirms that the elderly gentleman who answers is former FBI Special Agent Arthur Dales. The entire interview is conducted through the semi-open door and Dales never removes the chain lock to admit Mulder.
Mulder identifies himself as a profiler with the Behavioral Sciences Unit (he does not give his name at this point) and tells Dales he has come to ask about a file Dales opened on Edward Skur in 1952. When Dales says he doesn't remember, Mulder shows him the file, bearing case number X-565652. When Dales asks Mulder if he knows what an X-File is, Mulder says, with the air of a guess, that it is an unsolved case.
"No," Dales corrects him. "It's a case that's been *designated* unsolved."
Momentarily fazed, Mulder opens the file, showing Dales that most of Dales' original notes had been heavily censored and telling Dales that someone might be trying to bury the case. Mulder wants to know why. He gives a brief history of Edward Skur's activities--that Skur had disappeared 38 years before, after being implicated by Dales in a series of stranger killings in which all the victims' internal organs had been removed. Mulder goes on to tell Dales that Skur had been killed the week before and that another victim had been found in Skur's house with "all of his soft tissues removed".
"Well, if he's dead," Dales says, "there's nothing you need from me." He makes as if to close the door.
Mulder prevents him from doing so, blurting out his name to Dales. "My name is Mulder," he says.
Dales hesitates.
"You know that name," Mulder continues. "And so did Edward Skur. How?"
After regarding Mulder somewhat speculatively, Dales asks the younger man if he's ever heard of HUAC--the House Unamerican Activities Committee. "They hunted Communists in America in the 40's and 50's. They found practically nothing. Do you think they would have found nothing, unless nothing was what they wanted to find?" he asks cryptically.
Mulder, brushing nervously with a ring-bearing left hand at the hair falling over his forehead, apologizes that he does not see the connection.
Dales tells Mulder that he cannot help and slams the door. Mulder hesitates, makes as if to knock again on Dales' door, appears to think better of it and takes his leave.
Later that evening, Mulder is watching a videotape which gives some background information for the creation of HUAC and names Roy Cohn, J. Edgar Hoover and Senator Joseph McCarthy as the main movers and shakers in the operation.
Mulder is in his apartment. As the camera slowly pans away from the television set, we can see a healthy house plant, possibly some kind of ficus. Through an open window, we can see it is raining out and that it is dark. Mulder is eating sunflower seeds, apparently taking notes or doing research of some kind. He is dressed casually in a heathered grey T-shirt and dark pants, possibly sweats.
Against the narrative on the videotape, with such sterling oratory as "...vow to wipe out the Red Menace within our own federal government" and "...it is those Americans sympathetic to the Communist cause--the so-called Fellow Travelers--who pose the greatest threat to our national security" and other like gems, Mulder can be seen examining the X-File he had earlier showed to Arthur Dales. In the heavily censored pages, there are names other than Edward Skur's--George Gissing and Terrill Oberman.
While the tape continues to espouse the virtues of Special Prosecutor Roy Cohn (who successfully tried the Rosenbergs), Mulder finds a Communist Party membership card in the file. The name on the card is that of Edward Skur. The membership number is 10673. Skur's address is listed as Leesburg, Virginia and the date on the card is 11-5-47.
Mulder's attention is drawn to something he sees on the videotape. He puts on his glasses and rewinds and replays the same segment of tape twice before he sits back, a look of consternation on his face and whispers "Dad" almost too quietly to hear.
Bill Mulder is on the tape. Apparently he was connected to HUAC. It is equally apparent that his son was not aware of this.
The following morning, Mulder returns to Dales' apartment and asks Dales what connection "my father had to Edward Skur." He is dressed almost identically to the day before, with the exception of his tie which is two-toned blue and silver or grey diagonal stripes. When Dales suggests that Mulder speak to his father, Mulder tells Dales, "My father and I don't really speak." Dales reiterates that he cannot help Mulder and slams the door in Mulder's face.
Mulder threatens to subpoena Dales to get to the truth. Dales opens the door again and tells Mulder that Skur worked for the State Department before his disappearance. Bill Mulder had also worked for the State Department.
"You had to have suspected the connection before you came here yesterday," Dales says. "And yet you said nothing."
"The men that Edward Skurs killed thirty-eight years ago," Mulder says. "Was my father involved? How?"
Dales reluctantly lets Mulder inside. Mulder shows Dales the crime scene photograph of Skur's last victim--the man in the bathtub in Caledonia, Wisconsin.
"Skur killed this man the way he did all the others," Dales says. "All the soft tissues, internal organs, ligature--all were removed...without tearing the skin."
Mulder leans forward and exhales a cloud of smoke (!) and appears to be stubbing out a cigarette. "The coroner wasn't able to determine how," he tells Dales.
"Oh, I can tell you how," is Dales' grim response. "What I can't tell you...is why."
Mulder goes back to the fact that Dales' original report had alluded to the suspicion that Skur was a Communist. "That's what they said he was."
Dales appears to be bemused, possibly sad. "That's what they said they all were."
As Dales continues to speak, the scene changes to a flashback. Leesburg, Virginia, June 24, 1952. We see two trench coat-clad, fedora-wearing men approaching a well-kept white house. They knock on the door.
Dales' voice-over: "To us, Skur was just another name on a list; another Communist spy at the State Department. We had no idea who or what Edward Skur really was."
A younger Agent Dales and his partner Hayes Michel--tall, burly, mustached--arrest Edward Skur for contempt of Congress and failure to appear before the Committee. As Skur protests that he is a family man, Michel appears to find a Communist Party membership card on Skur's person. Skur accuses Michel of planting it. He is hauled unceremoniously out the door by Michel in plain view of his wife and three small children.
Dales, embarrassed, tries to apologize to Mrs. Skur. She coldly orders him out of her house.
Later that night, Dales goes to a bar--the Hoot Owl--obviously discomfited by the day's events. His partners calls him there to tell him that Edward Skur committed suicide by hanging himself in his cell. Michel is unsympathetic in relaying the news of Skur's demise. Dales seems upset. He leaves the bar and drives to the Skur house.
Against the elderly Dales' voice-over, we see him as a younger man sitting in his car and fortifying his courage from a pint bottle of whiskey or bourbon. He is wondering what he can possibly say to Mrs. Skur to atone for or explain what happened to her husband. It is 10:54 PM.
"And then...and then I saw someone I couldn't...I shouldn't have seen."
Dales sees a very alive Edward Skur walking quickly towards his home.
"Now it would be my life that was turned upside down," concludes the voice-over.
The younger Dales calls out Edward Skur's name and gives chase when Skur bolts. He chases Skur behind the house and loses sight of him, only to be attacked from behind and overpowered by Skur, who was hiding.
Skur straddles Dales. His eyes roll back in his head. From his mouth emerge what appear to be two jointed appendages or legs. Skur is making gagging and choking noises all the while (no kidding!). Dales, on the ground on his back, is stunned by what he is seeing (to say the least).
Just then, a man sticks his head out the window and shouts out "What's going on out there?" startling Skur, who flees and leaves Dales with all his internal organs intact.
In a voice-over, Dales says that the following morning, despite what he had seen the night before, he was still confident he knew what he was doing and who the good guys and bad guys were. We see him entering the office and sitting down. A television is on in the room and the Rosenbergs are being shown. The announcer is saying that the Rosenbergs had managed to delay their date with the electric chair. Hayes Michel, Dales' partner, shows up to tell Dales that despite Dales' request for a door-to-door search of the area around Skur's home, Skur will not be found. As proof, he produces photographs taken of Skur hanging in his cell and another of Skur with a vivid ligature mark around his neck. Skur looks very dead in the pictures.
"Maybe you want to change your description of the suspect who assaulted you," Michel suggests. He goes on to tell Dales that Skur's suicide took place two hours before Dales was attacked. "Just leave Skur's name out of your report and nobody else has to know," he advises.
"I already filed my report," Dales says quietly. "An hour ago."
Michel looks distressed.
Dales is almost immediately summoned to the Justice Department to speak to Roy Cohn, Special Assistant to the Attorney General, Internal Security Section. Cohn's assistant, a man we know only as "Howard" is present for the meeting, though he never speaks.
During the meeting, Cohn tells Dales, "We are fighting a powerful enemy in a war of ideology. In any war, there are secrets; truths that must be kept from the public in order to serve the greater good."
"You want me to amend my report? Take out any reference to Edward Skur?" asks a disbelieving Dales.
Though Cohn neither confirms nor denies that that is indeed what he wants, when Dales says he doesn't understand, Cohn interrupts to tell him, "You're not supposed to understand. You're supposed to follow orders."
Dales returns to the FBI office to rewrite his report, giving his "suspect" an identity of "unknown". Judging by his facial expression and body language while he is typing, this does not sit well.
A file clerk, Dorothy Bahnsen, passes by to give him a file he had requested on Edward Skur. Is heavily censored, only the aforementioned names of Skur, Gissing and Oberman appearing on what is otherwise a solid page of black.
Michel shows up to tell Dales they have a case. Dales leaves the file open on his desk as he hurries to catch up with his partner.
Chevy Chase, Maryland. 2:04 PM. Dales and Michel enter the home of a German doctor. The song "Lili Marlene" is playing on a record player. Both men make faces when they smell something that Michel describes as a "hospital smell". Though the FBI had supposedly been called in on "an advise and assist basis" by the Bethesda police department, there are no police officers or other officials present. The house appears empty.
Following their noses, the two men find a dead body clad in blue striped pajamas. The body appears to have collapsed in on itself, skin wrinkled, facial features distorted, etc. Just as Dales bends down to take a look, two uniformed police officers crash in, guns drawn, demanding that the FBI agents step back. Michel explains who they are, offers his identification and says that they were called in by Bethesda police, something the two officers claim to know nothing about. They tell Michel that they had come following a call placed by the doctor's nurse in which she told police that the doctor had not shown up for surgery.
During the exchange between Michel and the police officers, Dales spies a coaster from the Hoot Owl bar. The words "come alone" are written on the back of it. Dales pockets the coaster and says nothing about it to his partner or the police officers. They don't appear to notice he has done so.
"I was summoned to the bar by a man who'd already been to the doctor's house that morning," Dales says in a voice-over. "It was the man, Agent Mulder, you came here to ask me about."
Dales meets a stranger in a curtained booth at the Hoot Owl bar later that same night, at first thinking it was Skur who left the message on the coaster. The man confirms that he had been to the murdered doctor's house to try to save his life. He cautions Dales that Skur will also try to kill Dales.
Scene cuts to Dales' partner, Hayes Michel who is seen entering his apartment carrying a bag of groceries. He sets the groceries down on the kitchen counter, removing a bottle of beer from the bag. Noticing that a window is open in the living room, he calls out "Myrtle!". A rather rotund striped ginger cat responds to his call by meowing and flirting, rolling over on her back. Smiling, Michel closes the window.
Back at the Hoot Owl, the stranger is telling Dales that Skur is not a Communist, but a patriot. Further, he says that there were "three men. Veterans. Skur, Gissing and Oberman." Dales tells the man he's seen those names before. The stranger tells him that Gissing and Oberman committed suicide because they "couldn't live with what they'd become; what they'd been turned into. And Skur's the last."
In response to Dales' query as to why accusations were made that branded Skur as a Communist, the stranger explains that it was a cover story, as was Skur's "suicide", so that Skur could be hidden away, the evidence covered up and so that no one would ever know the truth.
Bewildered and impatient, Dales asks the stranger what was done to Skur. The stranger seems very reluctant to give out this information, telling Dales that by meeting him, he has placed his career and his family at risk.
"But...the crimes these men have committed against innocent people...I can't have them on my conscience anymore. Someone needs to know the truth," he says intensely.
"Who are you?" asks Dales.
"My name is Mulder. I work at the State Department," is the response.
Meanwhile, back at his apartment, Hayes Michel is watching Senator McCarthy on television and voicing his approbation and support for Mr. McCarthy's anti-Communist rhetoric ("Atta boy, Tail Gunner. Give 'em hell.").
Myrtle growls and scurries across the coffee table, knocking over the still-unopened bottle of beer. Michel admonishes her, sits down on the couch and proceeds to open the bottle (duh!), and ends up wearing a fair amount of it on his shirt and pants. He is not amused.
"All right then, Mr. Mulder," Dales is saying as the scene returns to the Hoot Owl bar, "Who is this guy you want me to arrest?"
Bill Mulder alludes to the fact that there is a larger conspiracy behind what was done to Skur, Gissing and Oberman. Further, he alludes to the fact that Roy Cohn and Senatory McCarthy might be involved. "Skur wants vengeance for what they did to him. He's a killer, now. He can only guess at the dimensions of this conspiracy, but he thinks you're part of it; you and your partner," Bill Mulder says significantly.
Startled and dismayed, Dales leaves the booth to telephone Michel, giving the telephone number to the bartender as Klondike 5 0133.
Back at his apartment, Michel is removing his gun and wallet preparatory to changing his beer-soaked clothing. The phone is silent, the lines having been pulled out of the wall.
Skur attacks Michel, catching him by surprise and unarmed. He straddles the bigger man and again we see Skur's eyes roll back in his head and two arm-like appendages emerging from his mouth. This time, however, we get the pleasure (?) of seeing the whole creature as it emerges from Skur's mouth and enters Michel's body through his mouth. It looks like a cross between a lobster and a spider, long-legged with sucking mouth parts, slimy and very unattractive. Needless to say, Michel's goose is cooked. Sucked. Whatever.
Later in Michel's apartment, Dales is present with police and a coroner. The coroner is asking Dales if he is certain it was a man who killed Michel. We see Michel's body on the floor, looking the same as that of the other victims--kind of flattened and dried up.
The coroner gamely tries to speculate on a cause of death. "I suppose someone could have force fed him a corrosive agent of some kind--an acid, maybe--except, I don't know why it wouldn't have burned through the skin."
"Would that account for the smell?" Dales asks.
"Maybe. We won't know for sure until we get a toxology report. Hopefully we'll have an answer for you in six to eight weeks (!). Meanwhile, we can at least start on a physical exam of the body," as he casts a skeptical eye over Michel's remains, "such as it is."
Roy Cohn enters the apartment at this point and attempts to take over the investigation. He tells Dales that Michel's body will be taken to the Bethesda Naval Hospital. Dales protests that the body is going to be taken to County General for an autopsy and whatever evidence can be collected for a murder charge. Cohn clears the room of people and then threatens Dales with a summons to appear before HUAC.
"I'm no Communist," Dales hisses.
Looking Dales right in the eye and without blinking, Cohn replies, "You are if I say you are."
Dales blinks first and looks away.
Having won the battle, Cohn orders Michel's body to be removed as it is now a matter of "national security". "See?" he taunts Dales as he takes his leave. "You're a patriot again."
In a voice-over from the elder Dales, we learn that he decided to try and find out more about the other two men who had been treated the same way Skur had been--Gissing and Oberman. Even though he had been threatened by Cohn, he felt a duty to find out how his partner had been killed and also to find out if he could understand what Skur had become.
Dales returns to the FBI office to look again at the heavily censored file on Edward Skur. He asks Dorothy Bahnsen for the files on Gissing and Oberman. She tells him they are missing, but that she recognizes one of the names as being in an X-File. To Dales' query about the definition of an X-File, she tells him they are "unsolved cases. We file them under 'X'."
When Dales reasonably asks why unsolved cases aren't filed under "U", Dorothy tells him, "That's what I did until I ran out of room. Plenty of room in the 'X's'." She goes on to say that it is the Director's office (i.e. J. Edgar Hoover) who decides when a case gets an "X" designation, that no one is supposed to see them and that they make for "pretty interesting reading". I'll bet!
She finds the file she is looking for and gives Dales a précis of the case while Dales flips through it.
"A German emigré, Dr. Strohlman, patriated here after the war. He was found dead in his office last week at the VA."
Dales confirms that nobody was able to explain how the good doctor's body "collapsed". Surprised that Dales is aware of the way Strohlman died, Dorothy agrees.
Gissing had been a patient of Strohlman's she goes on; found dead at the scene, an apparent suicide. "I guess he didn't care much for his treatment." The file is classified as an X-File because nobody could come up with the method by which Gissing killed Strohlman, she concludes.
Dales goes to speak to the coroner and to view Gissing's body, which is conveniently available due to wrangling between the VA and the dead man's family. It is not clear at which facility the body is being held. This writer assumes it is at County General Hospital, which was where Michel's body would have been taken if Cohn hadn't intervened.
Gissing's body shows a long, recently-healed lateral surgical scar high on his upper right chest. Dales convinces the coroner to conduct an autopsy on Gissing's body, using as his argument that Gissing and the man who killed Michel were patients of the same doctor and speculating that if he could figure out what was done to Gissing, that might give him the same answers about Skur and also some insight into how Michel was killed. The coroner reluctantly agrees to accommodate Dales.
The autopsy reveals a foreign object which appears to have been surgically attached to Gissing's esophagus. When the coroner opens the sac which is grafted to the esophagus, a living creature emerges, looking something like a cross between a lobster and a spider, then sinks into Gissing's body. It isn't clear if the creature dies or not. It isn't clear if the coroner tries to collect it for evidence or not. It does not try to attack the coroner or Dales.
Dales proceeds to the Skur home, where Mrs. Skur is less than happy to receive him. He tells her that a crime was committed against her husband, explaining that Skur and two other men who worked at the State Department had received surgery for war injuries, "but the surgeries that they received...it wasn't what they thought it was. It had nothin' to do with their war injuries. It's called 'xenotransplantation'. It's, um, the grafting of another species into the human body. It's a procedure that Nazi doctors experimented with during the war and I believe that they continued their work here; using your husband and these other two men as unwitting test subjects," Dales tells the unfortunate Mrs. Skur. He then tells her that he wants to expose the people who did these things, but that he needs Edward Skur's help in order to do so. He hands her the coaster from the Hoot Owl bar and walks away.
As Dales is walking to his car, he is intercepted by Roy Cohn who orders him into his car. There are three other men in the car, one of whom is Bill Mulder. Mulder does not speak to Dales, nor give any indication that they have met before.
In the interim, Mrs. Skur makes her way to a bomb shelter in the back yard of her home. Edward Skur is hiding out there. She explains about Dales' desire to help. Skur, who looks very ill indeed, says he can't even help himself any more. He attacks and kills his wife.
Dales is conducted to the office of the Director himself--J. Edgar Hoover--who orders Cohn and his assistant from the room, leaving only Dales. He launches into a somewhat confused narrative, which seems to indicate his sincere belief that Communists are taking over the world by the numbers. "The threat of global communist domination is a reality that can be ignored only at the risk of our own annihilation," he pronounces, after rhyming off statistics which appear to back up his claims that the Red Menace is slowly covering the world.
Dales states that the man who had been arrested weren't Communists. It is assumed that he is referring to Skur, Gissing and Oberman.
Showing almost religious fervour, Hoover retorts, "If we are to defeat the enemy, we must use their tools. We must go further. We must do those things which even our enemies would be ashamed to do. It is only through strength that we can make our enemies fear us and thereby ensure our own survival. You have one chance, Mr. Dales, to save yourself; to demonstrate that you have the strength of save your country."
Dales is taken to the Hoot Owl bar. He is equipped with a recording device and told by Cohn's assistant, Howard, to put Skur at ease and that he and Bill Mulder, who is also present, will be in "when the time is right".
Dales bitterly asks Bill Mulder if he came to see him to make Dales his "stalking horse".
Uncomfortable under the scrutiny of Cohn's assistant, Bill Mulder merely replies, "I follow my orders." This reader had a sudden flash to the Nuremberg trials and felt a cold shiver run up her spine at those words.
Howard takes Dales' gun. Against Dales' protests, he claims that they want Skur alive.
Dales pays the bar owner to leave. The bar is empty. He pours himself a drink and looks thoroughly disillusioned.
Skur appears. "Did you come here to kill me, or to save me?" he asks. He is rumpled and disheveled and doesn't look well.
"I'm here to help you, just like I told your wife," Dales replies.
"My wife is dead. I'm dead, too--inside--"
Scene shifts at this point to the car, where Cohn's assistant and Bill Mulder are listening via the recording device worn by Dales.
"--because of this thing they put in me," Skur continues. "For what? To turn me into some kind of killing machine? Or just to see what would happen?"
Scene shifts again to Dales and Skur. Dales casts a look off to the side.
"They're not comin', you know," Skurs tells the agent. "They want me to kill you or you wouldn't be here. You're part of the test now, too."
"I don't want to kill you," Dales protests.
"I know," Skurs says, almost sadly. Then he attacks Dales.
Out in the car, Bill Mulder starts at the sound of the fight and makes as if to leave the car. Cohn's assistant restrains him and shakes his head. From the recording machine, sounds of a struggle can be heard; also the sounds of Skur choking and gagging.
Back in the bar, Dales sees the creature inside Skur begin to emerge. Showing remarkable presence of mind, he manages to get his handcuffs out, clamping one end to the brass foot rail of the bar and the other end to Skur's right wrist.
Bill Mulder and the assistant enter the bar when they hear no more sounds on the tape. They find Skur handcuffed to the foot rail, lying on his back on the floor and Dales, alive. If looks could kill, Bill Mulder and Howard the assistant would be dead.
Back to present day (1990). Mulder, appearing to be overwhelmed and confused, brushes repeatedly at the hair over his forehead and says, "I can't believe my father threw in with these men. He let them dictate his conscience."
"Oh, don't fool yourself," the elder Dales admonishes him. "None of us are free to choose. I was ruined for my insubordination. You keep digging through the...the X-Files and they'll bury you, too." As Mulder takes the original X-File from Dales, his facial expression appears to indicate that he has no intention of doing any such thing. Yeah, right.
"Skur died saying my father's name. Why?"
"I haven't the faintest idea," Dales says.
Mulder rises and prepares to leave, shrugging into his suit jacket and coat. He asks how Skur was able to get away and live in obscurity for the last thirty-eight years.
Over Dale's speculative musings that he'd heard various things about Skur through the years--that he'd died, that he'd been spirited away to some laboratory so that the experiment could be finished, that, "maybe some poor, innocent bastard--somebody with a conscience--might have let him go," the scene flashes back to 1952.
Bill Mulder, driving a blue car (Ford?), plate number 483 572, pulls over at the side of a deserted country road, gets out and looks in the car window at Edward Skur who is handcuffed to the window frame on the passenger's side of the front seat. Bill Mulder tosses the keys to Skur and walks away.
"Why would anyone do that?" Mulder is asking in present day. "Why let a killer go free?"
In 1952, Skur moves over into the driver's seat as Bill Mulder continues to walk steadily away.
"In the hope that by letting him live, the truth of the crimes that were committed against him and the others might someday be exposed," is Dales' final statement.
In 1952, Bill Mulder walks in one direction. Skur starts the car and drives away in the opposite direction. End of "Travelers".
