Quotes 

• Scully : According to the briefing, the prisoners escaped while hiding in a laundry cart.

  Mulder : I don't think the guards have been watching enough prison movies.

• Skinner : For every step you take they're three steps ahead.

  Mulder : What about you, where do you stand?

  Skinner : I stand right on the line you keep crossing.

• Mulder : Why weren't we told the truth?

  Cigarette Smoking Man : We didn't know the truth. What we knew only would have slowed you down.

  Mulder : But innocent people could be infected! What you knew could have prevented that!

  Cigarette Smoking Man : How? In 1988 there was an outbreak of hemorrhagic fever in Sacramento, California. The truth would have caused panic. Panic would have caused lives. We controlled the disease by controlling the information.

  Mulder : You can't protect the public by lying to them.

  Cigarette Smoking Man : It's done everyday.

• Mulder : Hey, listen Scully, I need to know how this happened. I want you to start documenting everything you can get your hands on. People have to know about the cover-up.

  Scully : The public?

  Mulder : It's a public health crisis.

  Scully : Mulder, we can't leak this. Not until we know more. The futigive that you're looking for, he might not even be infected.

  Mulder : Yeah, but what if he is?

  Scully : If this gets out prematurely, the panic is gonna spread faster than the contagion. Mulder, we can't let this be known.

  Mulder : What if someone dies because we withheld what we knew?

  Scully : What if someone dies because we didn't? There'll be a time for the truth, Mulder, but this isn't it.
