Scully is also led astray by the big elder conspirator, believing everything he says about the abductions being hoaxes instantly, despite.. you know.. actually building evidence alongside Mulder for the last couple of years...
She says she found what she was looking for. But when she says she was 'looking for proof', when what she really means 'an excuse not to believe in aliens'.
Disappointing to Mulder to say the least, especially after he's spent the whole episode running around a train alternately chasing and being chased by a murderous NSA agent trying to hide evidence of the alien aboard the train. Alien that may be a leper. Not sure.
It won't really matter in a minute anyway because there is bomb on the train and Mulder is locked in the train car with it. Mulder steals the NSA agent's phone and Scully tries to help him guess the code to get out.
Mulder makes his panic face.
Fortunately for everyone, the train car is the same one that's in Mulder's alien autopsy video- suddenly it's worth the $29.95 Mulder paid for it. Just as fortunately, Mulder's worn out pause button is still operational enough for Scully to decipher the code to unlock the door.
M: Scully, let me tell you, you haven't seen America till you've seen it from a train.
As usual when Mulder is away, Scully heads to his place. She watches the autopsy video, tapes an X to the window, digs around for Senator Matheson's number and probably helps herself to whatever is in the fridge.
:P
Naturally the NSA guy allows Mulder to get the door unlocked then decks him, knocking him out cold. Mulder gets some pretty serious juice flowing.
Scully hears this and freaks.
NSA guy deserves it when X arrives just in time and shoots the SOB. Carrying Mulder, they clear the train before it explodes. Barely.
When M & Sreturn to work, it's still quite tense. They have conflicting accounts and they give each other the 'I know what I saw' speech.
The scene ends with a frustrated impasse. Nobody wins.
