- Scully: Don't you see Mulder, you're doing their work for them. You're chasing aliens that aren't there, helping them to create the story that covers the shameful truth. And what they can't cover they apologize for. Apology has become policy.
- Mulder: Maybe. Maybe you're right, Scully. But I don't need an apology for the lies. I don't care about the fictions they create to cover their crimes. I want them held accountable for what did happen. I want them to apologize for the truth.
- Scully: What is this place?
- Elder #1: This was one of the most frightening places on the earth. A place where society sent its monsters to live in shame and isolation. Now, their disease is all but conquered. Science has eliminated thousands of years of misery.
- Scully: I've seen your methods of "elimination." What happened to the man who was with me in the forest? What about the people who were in this room?"
- Elder #1: They had been exposed.
- Scully: Exposed to what?
- Elder #1: The same thing all these victims have been exposed to... victims of an inhuman project run by a man named Zama.
- Scully: You mean Ishimaru. You hid him here after the war. He stayed here, and he continued his experiments.
- Elder #1: The ruler of the world is no longer the country with the bravest soldiers, but the greatest scientists. Unfortunately, Ishimaru began to conduct his work in secret, not sharing with those who had risked much in giving him his asylum.
