"He's been in a position to know everything from the beginning, everything that we've done over the past four years."
"But if I don't testify now they'll start to bury the truth."
"Well then, you have to lay it on me. You have to tell them that I was the one who killed that man."
"I can...I can't do that."
"Yes, you can. Mulder, if I can save you, let me. Let me at least give some meaning to what's happened to me."
Scully had been in and out of the infirmary, and poring over her notes. Thinking over what had happened recently. One of their conversations during the investigation, and when she thought she was about to die from the cancer. Before being saved. Praying for salvation, for an answer. For hope.
Hail Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve..
Was it the chip, the return of her faith, or something more unexplainable? Like the other time she was nearly lost.
"We’ll be together again, Starbuck. But not now. Soon."
"Dana? I know death is at arm’s reach tonight, but Dana? Your time is not over."
Why was she spared, and saved? So many times she was nearly lost. Mulder was nearly lost. Yet they've been spared. And do these scans mean anything? The substance existing on parallel worlds, what did it mean? There was more, much more. Yet, there only seemed more questions.
And no sign of answer.
...To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us and after this our exile show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary
