• Fox Mulder : [Mr. X hands Mulder an envelope]  What is this?

  Mr. X : Data from a top secret military project. Born of the idea that sleep was the soldiers greatest enemy.

  Fox Mulder : Someone was conducting sleep deprivation experiments on Parris Island.

  Mr. X : Not deprivation. Eradication.

  Fox Mulder : Why?

  Mr. X : Why else? To build a better soldier. Sustained wakefulness dulls fear, heightens aggression. Science had just put a man on the moon. So they looked to science to win a losing war.

  Fox Mulder : And Willig and Cole were the lab rats.

  Mr. X : Lab rats with the highest kill ratio in the Marine Corps. Four thousand plus confirmed kills for a thirteen-man squad.

  Fox Mulder : You think Cole's behind what's happening now?

  Mr. X : I'm not here to do your thinking, Agent Mulder. All I know is Augustus Cole hasn't slept in twenty-four years.
