Quotes 

• John Doggett : So which kind of shooting was this? Lucky, coincidental or some third alternative?

  Dana Scully : Well, it's precision marksmanship, that's for sure. These holes line up perfectly with the three victims behind there, which tells me that the shooter was standing right here behind this wall.

  John Doggett : Consequently he wouldn't be able to see what the hell he was aiming at.

  Dana Scully : Unless he could see. The light our eyes can register is only one small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Other wavelengths from infrared to gamma have other properties. X-rays, for instance, can pass through solid objects.

  John Doggett : Walls, for example. So, you saying this guy used some kind of X-ray machine.

  [Scully just stares at him] 

  John Doggett : Wait, you... you are not saying that this guy has X-ray vision?

  Dana Scully : I am *remarking* that these wavelengths exist and the only thing that is stopping us from seeing them, if you will, is the biochemical structure of our eyes. I am *conjecturing* that if this structure was somehow different we'd have the ability to see things that we don't.

  John Doggett : [Doggett leans over and whispers in her ear]  Call in Clark Kent.
