No aircraft can get out. 212 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:07,196 The military base in Kotzebue could set up a quarantine. 213 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:11,193 Advise immediate evacuation.

It has a scolex with suckers and hooks. 219 00:20:51,120 --> 00:20:54,590 So it's familiar. Something you can deal with. 220 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,240 - What? - No. 221 00:20:57,360 --> 00:21:00,989 Very different from any organism at least that I know of. 222 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,878 Have you figured out how it's transmitted? 223 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,999 Exchange of fluids, touch, air? All of the above? I don't know. 224 00:21:08,120 --> 00:21:12,272 All the other bodies had the creature.

What was that again? 228 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,714 It's a gland that secretes hormones. 229 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:29,078 Although... I don't know why a parasite would want to attach to it. 230 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,799 Hypothalamus releases acetylcholine... 231 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:35,190 which produces violent, aggressive behaviour. 232 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,555 See, that might be the connection. 233 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,997 Everybody that's been infected certainly seems to act aggressively. 234 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:47,313 Maybe the worm feeds on acetylcholine and stops us controlling violent behaviour. 235 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:52,520 - A parasite shouldn't want to kill its host. - It doesn't kill you until it's extracted. 236 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,636 Then it releases a poison. 237 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,599 So you're saying the worm makes you wanna kill other people. 238 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,638 Which is maybe what happened to the first team. 239 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,836 Or what could happen to us. 240 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:08,072 - It's just a theory. We don't have any proof. - Except five dead men. 241 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,277 If the worm makes people violently aggressive... 242 00:22:11,360 --> 00:22:14,557 why did Richter and Campbell kill themselves? 243 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,710 Maybe they did it to save us. 244 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:39,235 I'm just... uh... double-checking.

It survived subzero temperatures. 252 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:11,716 Theorists believe in ammonia-supported life on planets with freezing temperatures. 253 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:12,835 No. 254 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,798 A meteor that crashed here “A million years ago... 255 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,155 may have carried such life to Earth. 256 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:22,711 Mulder, that pilot developed surface symptoms within a few minutes. 257 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,236 Within a few hours, that parasite had total control. 258 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:30,359 What would happen if this got into the population? 259 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:35,912 A city the size of New York could be infected within a few days. 260 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,195 Exactly. But what do we know about it? 261 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,590 This organism might be lying dormant in another crater. 262 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,069 If we don't kill it now, 263 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,596 we risk becoming Richter and Campbell with guns to our heads. 264 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:51,992 But if we do kill it now, we may never know how to stop it in the future. 265 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,038 (Scully) Future?
