Scully : I need something to put my back up against, Mulder.
Mulder : I know. I feel the same way. I feel that we've lost so much... but we've got The X-Files, and I believe what we're looking for is in them. I'm more certain than ever the truth is out there, Scully.
Scully : I've heard the truth, Mulder. Now what I want are the answers.

John Fitzgerald Byers : Are you familiar with a post-World War II project known as Operation Paper Clip?
Mulder : Our deal with the devil. The U.S. government provided safe haven for certain Nazi war criminals in exchange for their scientific knowledge.
Richard 'Ringo' Langly : [Points at the picture] I know who this man is. Victor Klemper.
John Fitzgerald Byers : The man standing next to your father is one of those criminals, though not the most famous of the bunch. Wernher von Braun, designer of the V-2 rockets that leveled London, may be the most notorious, but Victor Klemper certainly takes the prize for the most... evil Nazi to escape the Nuremburg trials.
Scully : What did he do?
Richard 'Ringo' Langly : He experimented on the Jews... drowned them, suffocated them, put them in pressure chambers. All in the name of science.
John Fitzgerald Byers : Together with Von Braun, Klemper helped us win the space race. Using his scientific data on the effects of high-altitude flying, we were able to put astronauts on the moon before the Soviets.
Richard 'Ringo' Langly : One giant step for mankind.

Mulder : What makes you think there's any such thing as justice, Scully?
