1
00:00:02,127 --> 00:00:03,494
I know you think I'm crazy.

2
00:00:03,821 --> 00:00:05,162
But it's not me.

3
00:00:05,781 --> 00:00:07,064
It's the world.

4
00:00:07,699 --> 00:00:09,233
The world's gone mad.

5
00:00:10,028 --> 00:00:11,527
Because...

6
00:00:11,563 --> 00:00:13,497
because Martians have invaded, but...

7
00:00:14,065 --> 00:00:15,874
nobody seems to care!

8
00:00:16,917 --> 00:00:18,710
Take it easy, mister.

9
00:00:19,537 --> 00:00:21,046
Have a cup of joe.

10
00:00:24,743 --> 00:00:25,995
I can't take it easy.

11
00:00:26,611 --> 00:00:28,303
I just saw one outside.

12
00:00:28,505 --> 00:00:30,372
So, uh, tell me,

13
00:00:30,541 --> 00:00:32,641
what do these Martians look like?

14
00:00:32,830 --> 00:00:35,918
They... have giant heads

15
00:00:35,954 --> 00:00:37,707
and multiple appendages.

16
00:00:37,743 --> 00:00:39,064
Yikes.

17
00:00:39,143 --> 00:00:41,377
And they're, uh,
here to eat us or something?

18
00:00:41,412 --> 00:00:44,714
No. They have a ray of some kind...

19
00:00:45,112 --> 00:00:46,382
that makes us...

20
00:00:47,156 --> 00:00:48,384
forget.

21
00:00:48,740 --> 00:00:49,852
Forget what?

22
00:00:50,989 --> 00:00:52,989
- There! I just saw one.
- Where?

23
00:00:53,024 --> 00:00:55,057
Outside through that window.
I just saw one of 'em.

24
00:00:55,093 --> 00:00:57,460
Hey, mister.

25
00:00:57,495 --> 00:01:00,830
That ain't a window. That's a mirror.

26
00:01:21,452 --> 00:01:22,985
What is this,

27
00:01:23,021 --> 00:01:25,588
some kind of sick joke, Buddy?

28
00:01:25,623 --> 00:01:29,992
Oh, it's no joke.

29
00:01:32,797 --> 00:01:35,297
And my name's not Buddy.

30
00:01:35,333 --> 00:01:37,767
Wait, what?!

32
00:02:23,912 --> 00:02:25,278
Hello.

33
00:02:25,313 --> 00:02:27,280
Mulder, it's me. Where have you been?

34
00:02:27,315 --> 00:02:28,948
I've been trying your cell all day.

35
00:02:28,984 --> 00:02:30,416
I was out squatchin'.

36
00:02:30,452 --> 00:02:31,818
- What?
- Bigfoot hunting.

37
00:02:31,853 --> 00:02:33,486
I had my phone turned off.

38
00:02:33,521 --> 00:02:34,988
Did you have any luck?

39
00:02:35,023 --> 00:02:37,624
No, but that's not really the point.

40
00:02:37,659 --> 00:02:40,827
I just had to get away from
the madness for a little while.

41
00:02:40,862 --> 00:02:43,963
It seems this past year
all I've done is watch the news

42
00:02:43,999 --> 00:02:46,232
and worry that the country's gone insane.

43
00:02:46,268 --> 00:02:48,668
I had to get out to nature.

44
00:02:48,703 --> 00:02:50,270
You know, where it's simple
and uncomplicated,

45
00:02:50,305 --> 00:02:52,238
where it's just you and the elements.

46
00:02:52,698 --> 00:02:55,341
And possibly
a cryptozoological, simian-like,

47
00:02:55,377 --> 00:02:57,653
hairy humanoid with enormous feet.

48
00:02:57,688 --> 00:02:59,946
I think you just like
saying "squatchin'."

49
00:02:59,981 --> 00:03:01,514
We still on for dinner tomorrow night?

50
00:03:01,549 --> 00:03:02,982
Yeah, I'll see you then.

51
00:03:03,458 --> 00:03:05,251
Hey, Scully,
I ever tell you about the time

52
00:03:05,287 --> 00:03:07,084
I found a Sasquatch footprint in the mud?

53
00:03:07,119 --> 00:03:09,355
- Yeah, you did. I, uh...
- It was 35 years ago, about.

54
00:03:09,391 --> 00:03:11,591
- Mulder, I've heard this before.
- On the banks

55
00:03:11,626 --> 00:03:13,660
- of the mighty Mogoagogo River
- Mulder, you already told me.

56
00:03:13,695 --> 00:03:15,261
- I got to go, got to go, Mulder.
- In beautiful British Columbia.

57
00:03:15,297 --> 00:03:18,197
Scully? Scully?

58
00:03:53,034 --> 00:03:54,634
Mulder.

59
00:03:54,669 --> 00:03:56,035
It's me.

60
00:03:56,071 --> 00:03:57,704
Now, I-I know you're surprised to see me.

61
00:03:57,739 --> 00:03:59,706
I thought we were all done after...

62
00:03:59,741 --> 00:04:01,307
you know, that last case.

63
00:04:02,017 --> 00:04:04,043
I've stumbled on the conspiracy to...

64
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,022
...to end all conspiracies.

65
00:04:08,359 --> 00:04:09,670
Who are you?

66
00:04:12,152 --> 00:04:14,112
So they have already gotten to you.

67
00:04:14,956 --> 00:04:17,857
How did you know how
to contact me? To meet me here?

68
00:04:17,892 --> 00:04:20,326
I... It had to be someplace safe.

69
00:04:20,362 --> 00:04:21,578
They...

70
00:04:22,263 --> 00:04:25,198
they'd kill us if they had the chance.

71
00:04:25,233 --> 00:04:26,599
And who are "they"?

72
00:04:26,634 --> 00:04:28,919
They are why you don't remember.

73
00:04:29,150 --> 00:04:31,738
Why aren't people getting probed
by aliens anymore?

74
00:04:31,773 --> 00:04:33,940
You used to know,
but they made you forget...

75
00:04:33,975 --> 00:04:36,609
so that you wouldn't remember me.

76
00:04:36,644 --> 00:04:38,444
Look, what is this all about?

77
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,280
Oh, my God. Look, there's no way
for me to make you understand

78
00:04:41,316 --> 00:04:43,349
without me seeming like a crazed madman.

79
00:04:43,385 --> 00:04:45,351
It's a little late for that.

80
00:04:49,324 --> 00:04:51,224
I think your ride is here.

81
00:04:52,394 --> 00:04:54,127
The first Twilight Zone episode

82
00:04:54,162 --> 00:04:55,895
you ever saw... it was
"The Lost Martian," right?

83
00:04:55,930 --> 00:04:57,930
You remember that?

84
00:04:58,490 --> 00:04:59,766
And if I do?

85
00:04:59,801 --> 00:05:02,235
That Twilight Zone episode...

86
00:05:02,661 --> 00:05:04,270
doesn't exist.

87
00:05:04,305 --> 00:05:06,305
It never did.

88
00:05:10,745 --> 00:05:12,412
Were you followed?

89
00:05:13,415 --> 00:05:15,048
Who is that?

90
00:05:17,519 --> 00:05:19,318
It would be a hell of a twist

91
00:05:19,354 --> 00:05:21,254
if it were Rod Serling.

92
00:05:30,999 --> 00:05:33,316
Submitted for your approval.

93
00:05:35,777 --> 00:05:38,604
No, it's not in here, either.

94
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,239
Mulder, what I don't understand

95
00:05:40,275 --> 00:05:42,675
is how this guy knew

96
00:05:42,710 --> 00:05:44,277
about your secret rendezvous signal.

97
00:05:44,312 --> 00:05:45,745
Who cares about any of that, Scully?

98
00:05:45,780 --> 00:05:47,513
I can't find "The Lost Martian."

99
00:05:47,549 --> 00:05:49,482
Wh-When he said that that episode

100
00:05:49,517 --> 00:05:51,184
of The Twilight Zone didn't exist,

101
00:05:51,219 --> 00:05:53,619
that's when I knew he was
a crazy person. It's a classic.

102
00:05:53,655 --> 00:05:55,287
So I came home, and I checked

103
00:05:55,322 --> 00:05:57,156
my box DVD set, and it wasn't on there.

104
00:05:57,192 --> 00:05:58,858
I checked all my episode guidebooks.

105
00:05:58,893 --> 00:06:00,026
No mention of it.

106
00:06:00,061 --> 00:06:02,462
I searched online. Nothing.

107
00:06:02,497 --> 00:06:04,497
So now I'm going through
my tapes because I'm sure

108
00:06:04,532 --> 00:06:06,132
I recorded it at some point.

109
00:06:06,167 --> 00:06:08,601
Well, maybe it's one
of those other shows, like...

110
00:06:08,636 --> 00:06:10,336
Outer Limits or...

111
00:06:10,371 --> 00:06:12,199
Confuse The Twilight Zone
with The Outer Limits?

112
00:06:12,235 --> 00:06:14,440
Do you even know me?!

113
00:06:14,476 --> 00:06:17,443
Can we talk about this
over dinner, please?

114
00:06:17,479 --> 00:06:19,645
I-I'm not gonna be able to eat
until I find this.

115
00:06:19,681 --> 00:06:21,156
Ever again.

116
00:06:21,749 --> 00:06:24,016
It can't be that good of an episode.

117
00:06:24,052 --> 00:06:26,519
It-It's-it's not
about the episode, Scully.

118
00:06:26,554 --> 00:06:27,954
It's about my memory

119
00:06:27,989 --> 00:06:30,207
of seeing my first Twilight Zone.

120
00:06:30,725 --> 00:06:32,125
It changed me.

121
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:33,459
You don't forget that.

122
00:06:33,495 --> 00:06:35,061
I was eight years old.

123
00:06:35,096 --> 00:06:36,829
My parents let me stay up till midnight

124
00:06:36,865 --> 00:06:39,365
because that was back
in the day when it only aired,

125
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,001
you know, late at night
on some local channel.

126
00:06:42,036 --> 00:06:44,054
Wait, what?!

127
00:06:45,764 --> 00:06:47,907
And my name's not Buddy.

128
00:06:47,942 --> 00:06:50,343
- Oh, now I get it.
- Wait, what?!

129
00:06:51,513 --> 00:06:53,036
I remember it all so clearly,

130
00:06:53,654 --> 00:06:55,186
as if it just happened.

131
00:07:03,114 --> 00:07:04,790
He stand you up again?

132
00:07:08,912 --> 00:07:12,331
Uh, are you that guy
that met with Mulder last night?

133
00:07:13,166 --> 00:07:15,001
Uh, what gave it away, Skulls?

134
00:07:16,044 --> 00:07:17,069
He mentioned

135
00:07:17,105 --> 00:07:18,271
the forehead sweat.

136
00:07:18,630 --> 00:07:20,339
I need you to help me find someone.

137
00:07:20,966 --> 00:07:22,208
Who?

138
00:07:22,634 --> 00:07:24,010
Me.

139
00:07:24,845 --> 00:07:25,945
They...

140
00:07:25,980 --> 00:07:28,414
they're trying to erase me!

141
00:07:28,449 --> 00:07:29,749
Skulls, look, I can prove it.

142
00:07:29,784 --> 00:07:31,560
Hey, I'm armed.

143
00:07:32,153 --> 00:07:34,153
Just...

144
00:07:41,663 --> 00:07:42,737
Wh...

145
00:07:44,406 --> 00:07:46,766
Wh-Where did you find this?

146
00:07:46,801 --> 00:07:49,502
My fingerprints are on that box.

147
00:07:50,939 --> 00:07:52,505
Just prove that I'm real!

148
00:07:55,273 --> 00:07:56,533
W-Wait!

149
00:07:56,569 --> 00:07:58,411
Who... uh...

150
00:08:16,070 --> 00:08:17,703
Let me... L-Let me,
let me get this straight.

151
00:08:17,738 --> 00:08:20,899
Wh-When it cools, it forms
into three different layers,

152
00:08:20,940 --> 00:08:23,974
with three different textures,
all from the same mix?

153
00:08:24,010 --> 00:08:26,176
How has this never been an X-File?

154
00:08:26,781 --> 00:08:29,747
I-I have such wonderful memories
associated with it.

155
00:08:29,782 --> 00:08:32,082
I remember my mom making it.

156
00:08:32,118 --> 00:08:35,284
I remember family vacations
over the summer holidays,

157
00:08:35,319 --> 00:08:38,022
and Fourth of July, fireworks,

158
00:08:38,057 --> 00:08:40,691
America, God, love.

159
00:08:40,726 --> 00:08:42,693
That's some Jell-O.

160
00:08:42,728 --> 00:08:44,328
I mean, just the cherry flavor.

161
00:08:44,363 --> 00:08:46,430
The lemon-lime tasted
like leprechaun taint.

162
00:08:46,465 --> 00:08:49,500
But I-I have literally been
looking for this for decades.

163
00:08:49,535 --> 00:08:52,803
But every time I look
for Goop-O A-B-C, everyone says,

164
00:08:52,838 --> 00:08:55,673
"No, you must be thinking
about Jell-O 1-2-3."

165
00:08:55,708 --> 00:08:57,141
It's the Mandela Effect.

166
00:08:57,176 --> 00:08:59,043
- What do you mean?
- When someone has

167
00:08:59,078 --> 00:09:00,978
a memory of something that's not shared

168
00:09:01,013 --> 00:09:03,614
by the majority or the factual record.

169
00:09:04,267 --> 00:09:06,183
For instance, there are
some people that have a memory

170
00:09:06,218 --> 00:09:09,853
of seeing a movie called
Shazaam, starring Sinbad

171
00:09:09,889 --> 00:09:12,656
as an irrepressible genie, even
after it's pointed out to them

172
00:09:12,692 --> 00:09:15,059
that they're probably thinking
of a movie called Kazaam,

173
00:09:15,094 --> 00:09:17,161
starring Shaquille O'Neal
as an irrepressible genie,

174
00:09:17,196 --> 00:09:20,864
especially 'cause a movie
called Shazaam was never made.

175
00:09:20,900 --> 00:09:22,766
But what if I don't remember
either movie?

176
00:09:22,801 --> 00:09:25,441
- You win!
- But, Mulder,

177
00:09:25,477 --> 00:09:27,371
isn't your false Twilight Zone memory

178
00:09:27,406 --> 00:09:28,739
also a Mandela Effect?

179
00:09:28,774 --> 00:09:31,709
No, because my false memory is real.

180
00:09:31,744 --> 00:09:35,346
But, again, how does this... mystery guy,

181
00:09:35,381 --> 00:09:38,215
whose fingerprints came up with nothing,

182
00:09:38,250 --> 00:09:40,250
how does he even know about these,

183
00:09:40,286 --> 00:09:41,418
these secret memories of ours?

184
00:09:41,454 --> 00:09:43,087
You can ask him yourself tonight.

185
00:09:43,122 --> 00:09:45,089
I already taped an "X"
to the window this morning.

186
00:09:45,124 --> 00:09:47,157
But that's your secret rendezvous signal.

187
00:09:47,654 --> 00:09:49,927
I don't want to intrude.

188
00:09:50,532 --> 00:09:52,867
He clearly wants you involved, Scully.

189
00:09:53,532 --> 00:09:55,532
Come on, it'll be like a date.

190
00:10:02,168 --> 00:10:03,674
Well, this is romantic.

191
00:10:03,709 --> 00:10:05,075
Isn't it?

192
00:10:25,264 --> 00:10:26,964
So, who are you?

193
00:10:26,999 --> 00:10:28,565
I think my name is Reggie.

194
00:10:29,112 --> 00:10:31,068
Reggie something.

195
00:10:31,656 --> 00:10:35,973
Well, Mr. Something, you want to
tell us what this is all about?

196
00:10:36,453 --> 00:10:39,410
Like all life-questioning revelations,

197
00:10:39,445 --> 00:10:41,111
it came to me while I was moving.

198
00:10:41,147 --> 00:10:43,540
Not myself, but my mother.

199
00:10:43,575 --> 00:10:45,549
And when unpacking her stuff,
I came across a bunch

200
00:10:45,584 --> 00:10:47,217
of old things of mine she kept.

201
00:10:48,089 --> 00:10:50,287
Remembering my mom reading
Dr. Wuzzle books to me

202
00:10:50,322 --> 00:10:52,756
is one of the fondest memories I have.

203
00:10:54,179 --> 00:10:57,127
But... when I looked more
closely at the book's cover,

204
00:10:57,163 --> 00:10:58,896
well, that's when the
woozle-wozzle-bloober-blubs

205
00:10:58,931 --> 00:11:00,037
really hit the fan.

206
00:11:00,072 --> 00:11:01,039
Wait, what?

207
00:11:01,074 --> 00:11:03,467
Because Dr. Wuzzle's name
was spelled different

208
00:11:03,502 --> 00:11:05,135
than how I remembered... not with two Ss,

209
00:11:05,171 --> 00:11:06,470
but with two Zs.

210
00:11:08,607 --> 00:11:10,107
What's happening?!

211
00:11:10,142 --> 00:11:13,610
- It's the Mandela Effect.
- The what effect?

212
00:11:13,646 --> 00:11:15,779
The Mandela Effect.
When someone has a memory

213
00:11:15,815 --> 00:11:19,183
that doesn't coincide with
everybody else's or the facts.

214
00:11:19,218 --> 00:11:21,151
So named because
some people have a memory

215
00:11:21,187 --> 00:11:23,520
of hearing that Nelson Mandela
died in the '80s

216
00:11:23,556 --> 00:11:26,790
while imprisoned, when, in fact,
he died a free man in 2013.

217
00:11:27,337 --> 00:11:29,960
No. It's called the Mengele Effect

218
00:11:30,507 --> 00:11:31,795
because people have a memory

219
00:11:31,831 --> 00:11:35,699
of Josef Mengele getting
apprehended in Ohio in 1970.

220
00:11:35,735 --> 00:11:37,201
So, it's the Mengele Effect.

221
00:11:37,597 --> 00:11:39,203
The Mandela Effect has been

222
00:11:39,238 --> 00:11:40,504
an Internet meme for almost a decade.

223
00:11:40,539 --> 00:11:42,272
It's always been called that.

224
00:11:42,308 --> 00:11:45,772
Ah, see, you're having a Mengele
Effect about the Mandela Effect.

225
00:11:46,179 --> 00:11:48,178
I should know because
of how I found out about it.

226
00:11:48,214 --> 00:11:50,047
My search led me to a...

227
00:11:50,777 --> 00:11:53,650
historical repository
of vintage Americana.

228
00:11:59,494 --> 00:12:03,994
Excuse me... do you have
any old Dr. Wuzzle books?

229
00:12:04,029 --> 00:12:06,797
That's something somebody might
actually want, so, no.

230
00:12:06,832 --> 00:12:10,534
I do have something over
in the political shame section

231
00:12:10,569 --> 00:12:12,302
that might interest you.

232
00:12:17,276 --> 00:12:23,580
Uh, it's a cartoon that
Dr. Wuzzle drew back in 1940.

233
00:12:25,854 --> 00:12:27,484
Ah, damn it, it's still wrong!

234
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,254
Easy, easy! If you're gonna
break something,

235
00:12:30,289 --> 00:12:32,156
use the Evel Knievel doll.

236
00:12:32,191 --> 00:12:33,857
It'll make it more authentic.

237
00:12:34,654 --> 00:12:35,659
What? No.

238
00:12:35,694 --> 00:12:37,282
I'm sorry. It-it...

239
00:12:38,153 --> 00:12:41,665
I remember his name being
spelled in a different way.

240
00:12:42,745 --> 00:12:44,735
Oh, boy. Sounds like somebody's suffering

241
00:12:44,770 --> 00:12:47,504
from the Mengele Effect.

242
00:12:47,540 --> 00:12:50,374
See? It's called the Mengele Effect.

243
00:12:50,409 --> 00:12:51,708
That doesn't prove anything.

244
00:12:51,744 --> 00:12:53,844
D... Just trust me, okay?

245
00:12:53,879 --> 00:12:56,446
I've done a lot of research
into this since then.

246
00:12:56,482 --> 00:13:00,050
And the shop owner himself was
a bit of an expert on the topic.

247
00:13:00,085 --> 00:13:02,619
Oh, it all started a couple
years ago... people coming in

248
00:13:02,655 --> 00:13:04,555
looking for some fondly-remembered item

249
00:13:04,590 --> 00:13:07,024
from their past, and I'd show it to them,

250
00:13:07,059 --> 00:13:08,926
but there's always something
just a little off.

251
00:13:08,961 --> 00:13:10,694
And they'd be like, "No,

252
00:13:10,729 --> 00:13:13,230
I remember the logo being racist
in a different way."

253
00:13:13,265 --> 00:13:15,432
It's like everybody's recall was
just a little out of whack.

254
00:13:15,467 --> 00:13:16,756
Yeah, yeah.

255
00:13:16,781 --> 00:13:20,204
And I think the government
knows about it.

256
00:13:20,742 --> 00:13:22,105
What-what do you mean?

257
00:13:22,141 --> 00:13:24,518
Oh, come on, the government always
knows more than they let on.

258
00:13:24,553 --> 00:13:26,810
For instance, do you think
that the government

259
00:13:26,846 --> 00:13:29,613
didn't know, when this
was being sold back in the '70s,

260
00:13:29,648 --> 00:13:31,481
that it wasn't full of carcinogens?

261
00:13:31,517 --> 00:13:35,548
They know the truth
about the... Mengele Effect.

262
00:13:36,322 --> 00:13:38,055
That's when I launched
my own investigation

263
00:13:38,090 --> 00:13:39,456
into the phenomenon.

264
00:13:39,491 --> 00:13:40,924
The Mengele Effect is being

265
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,160
intentionally orchestrated by someone.

266
00:13:43,195 --> 00:13:45,429
Who? And to what end?

267
00:13:45,464 --> 00:13:47,231
For the simple reasons that Orwell said.

268
00:13:47,266 --> 00:13:49,766
"He who controls the past
controls the future."

269
00:13:49,802 --> 00:13:53,937
The ability to manipulate memory
creates unlimited power...

270
00:13:53,973 --> 00:13:56,139
political, economical, cultural.

271
00:13:56,175 --> 00:13:59,009
It runs the gamut from Holocaust denial

272
00:13:59,044 --> 00:14:00,677
to corporate product recognition.

273
00:14:00,713 --> 00:14:02,846
There are companies who are
willing to pay anything,

274
00:14:02,882 --> 00:14:04,915
do anything, to have people forget

275
00:14:04,950 --> 00:14:08,809
that their products explode on
impact or suddenly catch fire.

276
00:14:08,845 --> 00:14:10,621
Companies like G...

277
00:14:10,656 --> 00:14:14,237
...spending billions in profit
to repress these memories.

278
00:14:14,766 --> 00:14:16,276
The-the only thing
I haven't been able to do is

279
00:14:16,312 --> 00:14:18,328
to figure out how they're doing it.

280
00:14:18,364 --> 00:14:19,801
They can't.

281
00:14:20,199 --> 00:14:22,328
I-I'm sorry, but this is ridiculous.

282
00:14:22,363 --> 00:14:23,667
I mean, the Mandela Effect is simp...

283
00:14:23,702 --> 00:14:25,734
It's the Mengele Effect, guys.

284
00:14:25,769 --> 00:14:27,170
It's the Mengele Effect. Just say it.

285
00:14:27,206 --> 00:14:30,874
...is simply people misremembering stuff.

286
00:14:30,910 --> 00:14:36,847
But maybe... this is actually
evidence of a parallel universe.

287
00:14:36,882 --> 00:14:38,548
- Wait, what?!
- Wait, what?!

288
00:14:38,584 --> 00:14:40,183
So maybe th-these differences

289
00:14:40,219 --> 00:14:42,319
in collective memories
are actually evidence of

290
00:14:42,354 --> 00:14:45,489
of our universe somehow becoming
intertwined with another,

291
00:14:45,524 --> 00:14:48,056
if not identical,
then very similar, universe.

292
00:14:48,103 --> 00:14:49,436
So people's memories are correct.

293
00:14:49,471 --> 00:14:50,870
They're just remembering something

294
00:14:50,906 --> 00:14:52,272
that happened in another dimension.

295
00:14:52,307 --> 00:14:53,707
Hence, the discrepancies.

296
00:14:53,742 --> 00:14:55,013
That's science, Scully.

297
00:14:55,049 --> 00:14:58,935
- Theoretical science, at best, Mulder.
- Yeah.

298
00:14:58,970 --> 00:15:01,114
We're not gonna do
this parallel universe,

299
00:15:01,149 --> 00:15:03,416
sci-fi gobbledygook, nerd boy, okay?

300
00:15:03,452 --> 00:15:05,218
So just, please, drop it.

301
00:15:05,253 --> 00:15:06,656
Because that crap gives me a headache.

302
00:15:06,681 --> 00:15:07,821
It's a lot better

303
00:15:07,856 --> 00:15:10,623
than some evil entity
zapping people's brains

304
00:15:10,659 --> 00:15:11,900
with a hypno-ray gun?

305
00:15:11,936 --> 00:15:13,510
I never mentioned a hypno-ray gun...

306
00:15:13,546 --> 00:15:15,298
Guys...

307
00:15:15,299 --> 00:15:18,934
it's faulty memory because Occam's razor.

308
00:15:18,969 --> 00:15:20,635
That's "Ozzie's razor," not Occam's.

309
00:15:20,671 --> 00:15:22,738
It's always been Ozzie's razor.

310
00:15:22,773 --> 00:15:24,706
Maybe in a parallel universe it is,

311
00:15:24,742 --> 00:15:26,608
but in still yet another universe,

312
00:15:26,643 --> 00:15:28,810
it's perhaps known as "Occam's ax."

313
00:15:28,846 --> 00:15:30,569
It's not parallel universes!

314
00:15:31,369 --> 00:15:32,434
Now, look,

315
00:15:32,469 --> 00:15:35,817
since I'm the only one with any
proof of this insidious plot...

316
00:15:35,853 --> 00:15:37,986
What proof?
You've yet to offer any proof.

317
00:15:38,022 --> 00:15:41,056
Proof is in the fact that once I
uncovered what they were up to,

318
00:15:41,091 --> 00:15:43,258
they turned the Mengele Effect on me.

319
00:15:43,293 --> 00:15:45,595
Just, look.

320
00:15:47,013 --> 00:15:49,297
It's my high school yearbook
my mom kept, right?

321
00:15:49,333 --> 00:15:54,269
There is not a single picture
of me in here... anywhere.

322
00:15:54,304 --> 00:15:57,528
There's not any inscriptions
from my classmates here.

323
00:15:57,564 --> 00:15:59,935
No "Have a great summer,"
"You were funny in math class."

324
00:15:59,970 --> 00:16:03,011
Nothing. It's like I never
even went to this school.

325
00:16:03,047 --> 00:16:05,187
Maybe you did,
but in a parallel universe.

326
00:16:05,222 --> 00:16:07,582
Exactly... Knock that off.

327
00:16:07,618 --> 00:16:10,281
Reggie, none of us
remember our high school years

328
00:16:10,316 --> 00:16:11,820
with much accuracy.

329
00:16:11,855 --> 00:16:16,458
Skulls, I wish this was about
my own psychological issues.

330
00:16:16,493 --> 00:16:19,694
That way, the memorabilia
shop owner would still be alive.

331
00:16:19,730 --> 00:16:22,030
When I went back to tell him
about the conspiracy

332
00:16:22,066 --> 00:16:24,866
to manipulate memory, and to see
if he had those little...

333
00:16:24,902 --> 00:16:26,701
Do you guys remember the little candies

334
00:16:26,737 --> 00:16:28,637
that were shaped like watermelon slices,

335
00:16:28,672 --> 00:16:30,605
but they taste like coconut?

336
00:16:31,015 --> 00:16:34,176
When I went back, they had silenced him.

337
00:16:40,517 --> 00:16:42,517
They had impaled him with a lawn dart.

338
00:16:45,738 --> 00:16:47,155
I'm sorry, but

339
00:16:47,191 --> 00:16:49,157
what's a lawn dart?

340
00:16:49,193 --> 00:16:51,960
Oh, it's this kid's game,
where you would try

341
00:16:51,995 --> 00:16:54,362
to throw these mini-metallic
javelins into the air

342
00:16:54,398 --> 00:16:56,631
onto these rings that you put on a lawn.

343
00:16:56,667 --> 00:16:58,967
And they sold these to kids?

344
00:16:59,002 --> 00:17:01,970
We were made of sterner stuff
back then, Scully.

345
00:17:02,005 --> 00:17:04,739
Well, it just sounds like
an accidental death to me.

346
00:17:04,775 --> 00:17:08,210
No! No, that's what
they want you to believe!

347
00:17:12,056 --> 00:17:13,849
Sounds like your ride's here.

348
00:17:14,165 --> 00:17:16,852
- You're not...
- She thinks I'm just some kind of

349
00:17:16,887 --> 00:17:19,087
conspiracy nut. Well, you know what?

350
00:17:19,123 --> 00:17:20,555
A conspiracy nut is right twice a day.

351
00:17:20,591 --> 00:17:21,890
No, that's a broken clock.

352
00:17:21,925 --> 00:17:23,525
Okay, it still applies because

353
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,227
they want you to think
all conspiracies are nutty,

354
00:17:25,262 --> 00:17:27,929
so you will ignore the ones
that are true.

355
00:17:27,965 --> 00:17:30,866
Reggie, take it from a fellow nut, okay?

356
00:17:30,901 --> 00:17:33,702
At some point, you're gonna have
to explain who "they" are.

357
00:17:34,203 --> 00:17:37,339
You keep on referring to this
omnipresent, mysterious "they"

358
00:17:37,374 --> 00:17:39,708
to give intentionality to random events,

359
00:17:39,743 --> 00:17:41,910
or external explanations
for psychological ones.

360
00:17:41,945 --> 00:17:43,545
But there's no "they" there.

361
00:17:43,580 --> 00:17:45,715
Who is "they"?

362
00:17:48,509 --> 00:17:50,018
This guy!

363
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,320
He is They!

364
00:18:02,194 --> 00:18:03,761
This is the story of a man named They.

365
00:18:03,796 --> 00:18:05,963
Dr. Thaddeus Q. They, a neuroscientist

366
00:18:05,998 --> 00:18:09,500
who has discovered a way to
manipulate collective memory.

367
00:18:09,535 --> 00:18:12,569
Most people have never heard
of him, or rather, they have,

368
00:18:12,605 --> 00:18:14,438
but he has manipulated their
memories to make them forget

369
00:18:14,473 --> 00:18:16,040
that they ever have.

370
00:18:16,469 --> 00:18:17,709
While working on NASA's

371
00:18:17,734 --> 00:18:20,010
top secret Operation Soy Bomb,

372
00:18:20,046 --> 00:18:23,313
involving future, one-way space
flights beyond our realm,

373
00:18:23,349 --> 00:18:26,583
Dr. They devised a technique
to change specific memories,

374
00:18:26,619 --> 00:18:29,319
which would allow astronauts
to complete their mission

375
00:18:29,355 --> 00:18:32,503
without being weighed down by
thoughts of life back on Earth.

376
00:18:32,538 --> 00:18:34,726
However, Dr. They was fired

377
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,232
for also making the astronauts think

378
00:18:36,268 --> 00:18:38,351
that they were chimpanzees.

379
00:18:39,336 --> 00:18:41,230
He perfected his research
while at the U.S.

380
00:18:41,265 --> 00:18:42,806
university hospital in Grenada,

381
00:18:42,841 --> 00:18:44,574
and now applies his method for a number

382
00:18:44,610 --> 00:18:46,843
of unknown, mysterious clients.

383
00:18:46,878 --> 00:18:49,079
His memory manipulations
have run the gamut

384
00:18:49,114 --> 00:18:50,580
from Holocaust denial

385
00:18:50,616 --> 00:18:52,082
to corporate product recognition

386
00:18:52,117 --> 00:18:53,483
to making people forget he, himself,

387
00:18:53,518 --> 00:18:56,353
once starred as an irrepressible genie

388
00:18:56,388 --> 00:18:58,088
in a movie called Ka-Blaam!

389
00:18:58,123 --> 00:18:59,723
Dr. They has not been heard of

390
00:18:59,758 --> 00:19:01,424
for many years, but rumors swirled

391
00:19:01,460 --> 00:19:03,693
that he was at the last
presidential inauguration,

392
00:19:03,729 --> 00:19:06,830
where, amongst the hundreds
of millions who attended,

393
00:19:06,865 --> 00:19:10,100
he was seen occupying the last
remaining seat available.

394
00:19:10,135 --> 00:19:12,836
And as to his motivations
for being there,

395
00:19:12,871 --> 00:19:17,073
and what exactly he is up to
now, we have no way of knowing.

396
00:19:17,109 --> 00:19:19,109
Or perhaps we once did,

397
00:19:19,144 --> 00:19:21,499
but have since been made to forget.

398
00:19:22,100 --> 00:19:25,115
Oh. What the hell was that?

399
00:19:25,150 --> 00:19:27,017
That video was...

400
00:19:27,052 --> 00:19:28,518
unbelievable.

401
00:19:28,553 --> 00:19:30,526
You want to hear unbelievable,

402
00:19:30,561 --> 00:19:32,088
check out some of these comments.

403
00:19:32,124 --> 00:19:34,958
"I think the editing
could have been tighter."

404
00:19:34,993 --> 00:19:36,593
This jerk just says, "Meh."

405
00:19:37,843 --> 00:19:39,377
When I stumbled
across this on the Darknet,

406
00:19:39,412 --> 00:19:41,765
I tried to confirm
as much of it as I could,

407
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,300
but I was only able to verify
the most important part...

408
00:19:44,336 --> 00:19:45,635
the Grenada thing.

409
00:19:45,671 --> 00:19:47,737
That was the most important part?

410
00:19:47,773 --> 00:19:51,207
Tell me, Little Miss Skeptic,
why did we invade Grenada?

411
00:19:51,243 --> 00:19:54,244
Uh... when was that again?

412
00:19:54,279 --> 00:19:56,146
There was a Marxist overthrow
of the government,

413
00:19:56,181 --> 00:19:58,281
and Reagan was concerned
about some U.S. students

414
00:19:58,316 --> 00:19:59,783
at a university hospital.

415
00:19:59,818 --> 00:20:01,605
Okay, now you're just...

416
00:20:01,641 --> 00:20:03,132
- What?
- You're just embarrassing

417
00:20:03,157 --> 00:20:04,454
yourself at this point.

418
00:20:04,489 --> 00:20:07,223
Those were the official reasons,

419
00:20:07,259 --> 00:20:09,926
but no one really remembers the reasons,

420
00:20:09,961 --> 00:20:12,696
not even me, and I was there!

421
00:20:14,833 --> 00:20:16,900
And I found this amongst my mom's stuff.

422
00:20:16,935 --> 00:20:19,269
I wrote it when I was
in Grenada, when I was 18,

423
00:20:19,304 --> 00:20:21,495
to be read when I turned 50.

424
00:20:26,626 --> 00:20:28,278
"To myself at age 50.

425
00:20:28,313 --> 00:20:29,962
Always remember..."

426
00:20:31,005 --> 00:20:33,349
And the rest of the letter's redacted.

427
00:20:33,385 --> 00:20:34,851
Who redacted it?

428
00:20:35,134 --> 00:20:36,820
I think I did when I wrote it.

429
00:20:36,855 --> 00:20:39,489
It was meant as kind of a joke,
but... I mean, that kind

430
00:20:39,524 --> 00:20:41,124
of stuff was funny
to me when I was a kid.

431
00:20:41,159 --> 00:20:42,625
Okay, what does this prove?

432
00:20:42,661 --> 00:20:44,810
You're missing the most important part.

433
00:20:46,465 --> 00:20:49,966
Oh. A Grenada UFO stamp.

434
00:20:50,001 --> 00:20:51,868
- Yeah.
- What's that?

435
00:20:51,903 --> 00:20:54,104
The Prime Minister of Grenada
once advocated in front

436
00:20:54,139 --> 00:20:56,973
of the U.N. for the creation
of a department of UFO research.

437
00:20:57,008 --> 00:20:59,676
He-he issued these stamps
to raise money for that effort.

438
00:20:59,711 --> 00:21:02,445
After he was deposed,
he confessed that a UFO

439
00:21:02,481 --> 00:21:03,980
had crashed off their coast,
and a dead alien

440
00:21:04,015 --> 00:21:06,149
had been recovered from the waters.

441
00:21:06,184 --> 00:21:09,502
Correct, except for one detail.

442
00:21:10,021 --> 00:21:12,588
The alien wasn't dead!

443
00:21:13,325 --> 00:21:15,358
Now, I was a med student
at that hospital.

444
00:21:15,393 --> 00:21:17,794
That's where they brought in
the semiconscious alien,

445
00:21:17,829 --> 00:21:21,197
and Dr. They was in charge
of trying to save it.

446
00:21:21,233 --> 00:21:22,899
Apparently the alien
had been sent to Earth

447
00:21:22,934 --> 00:21:26,136
to warn us about the holes
in the ozone layer.

448
00:21:26,171 --> 00:21:29,038
One of his people
would return in 35 years to see

449
00:21:29,074 --> 00:21:31,908
if we had managed to avoid
environmental catastrophe.

450
00:21:46,091 --> 00:21:48,947
Now, I only caught glimpses
of their conversation.

451
00:21:48,982 --> 00:21:51,861
The two of them talked
alien telepathically.

452
00:21:51,897 --> 00:21:54,097
I will telepathically transfer to you

453
00:21:54,132 --> 00:21:57,901
all our knowledge
of what you call "the brain."

454
00:21:57,936 --> 00:22:00,370
But that's when the invasion occurred

455
00:22:00,405 --> 00:22:02,038
and the men
from the government showed up.

456
00:22:02,073 --> 00:22:03,439
Wait, what?

457
00:22:14,486 --> 00:22:16,719
I don't know if I repressed the memory

458
00:22:16,755 --> 00:22:19,238
or Dr. They erased my mind, but...

459
00:22:19,658 --> 00:22:21,240
seeing that stamp,

460
00:22:21,660 --> 00:22:23,693
it all came flooding back to me.

461
00:22:23,728 --> 00:22:26,362
Now we're dealing
with recovered memories?

462
00:22:26,398 --> 00:22:29,832
I-I'm sorry. I'm out.

463
00:22:31,102 --> 00:22:32,602
Reggie, what you

464
00:22:32,637 --> 00:22:35,212
told us is theoretically possible.

465
00:22:36,141 --> 00:22:37,974
But more likely in another universe.

466
00:22:42,261 --> 00:22:43,479
The one thing I didn't forget

467
00:22:43,515 --> 00:22:45,448
was the telepathic screams of that alien.

468
00:22:45,483 --> 00:22:48,418
No, wait, what are you...? Hey. Oh.

469
00:22:48,453 --> 00:22:50,453
Oh... no...

470
00:22:50,488 --> 00:22:52,622
I wanted to know where the men

471
00:22:52,657 --> 00:22:54,457
from the government took him.

472
00:22:54,492 --> 00:22:56,893
That's when I dropped out of med school,

473
00:22:56,928 --> 00:22:58,652
joined the FBI.

474
00:22:59,653 --> 00:23:01,464
And that's how I started the X-Files.

475
00:23:04,536 --> 00:23:06,169
That's right.

476
00:23:06,204 --> 00:23:07,770
We used to be partners!

477
00:23:35,331 --> 00:23:36,266
Yeah. Mulder.

478
00:23:36,301 --> 00:23:38,301
- Foxy.
- Oh, hey, Reggie. What's up?

479
00:23:38,337 --> 00:23:40,570
Got this really cool poster
for the office, man.

480
00:23:40,606 --> 00:23:43,781
I think you're gonna flip over it.

481
00:23:44,990 --> 00:23:47,778
Sorry, nobody down here but the FBI's

482
00:23:47,813 --> 00:23:49,446
most unwanted.

483
00:23:52,248 --> 00:23:53,984
Move along, sugar boobs.

484
00:23:54,019 --> 00:23:57,053
This is the X-Files. No women allowed.

485
00:24:05,230 --> 00:24:09,533
That guy is so creepy.

486
00:24:09,568 --> 00:24:11,968
Changes world history.

487
00:24:12,004 --> 00:24:15,105
And then Columbus
never discovers America.

488
00:24:15,140 --> 00:24:17,874
Man never lands on the moon.

489
00:24:17,910 --> 00:24:20,444
The U.S. never invades Grenada.

490
00:24:20,479 --> 00:24:21,978
Wait, wait, wait, wait.

491
00:24:22,014 --> 00:24:23,821
What's this about Grenada?

492
00:24:26,752 --> 00:24:28,552
Guys, if this turns out to be
killer cats,

493
00:24:28,587 --> 00:24:30,452
I'm gonna be very disappointed.

494
00:24:31,256 --> 00:24:33,723
She's their mother.

495
00:24:33,759 --> 00:24:35,959
Wait, if she's their mother,
how can she be their...

496
00:24:38,377 --> 00:24:39,563
Oh, boy.

497
00:24:56,515 --> 00:24:58,582
All those memories...

498
00:24:58,617 --> 00:25:02,026
You guys mean to tell me
you don't remember any of that?

499
00:25:02,776 --> 00:25:04,236
Not even...

500
00:25:04,690 --> 00:25:06,780
our last case together?

501
00:25:09,074 --> 00:25:11,061
This is the Mengele Effect in action.

502
00:25:11,097 --> 00:25:13,497
Dr. They is using it against us
because he knows

503
00:25:13,532 --> 00:25:15,832
that we are the only team
capable of stopping him.

504
00:25:15,868 --> 00:25:18,590
There is no Dr. They.

505
00:25:18,626 --> 00:25:20,103
Really?

506
00:25:20,138 --> 00:25:22,046
Well, tell that to his henchmen.

507
00:25:24,610 --> 00:25:26,610
And he sent more of them.

508
00:25:36,588 --> 00:25:38,421
FBI.

509
00:25:38,457 --> 00:25:41,625
- FBI.
- What are you doing here?

510
00:25:44,360 --> 00:25:45,662
You don't know?

511
00:25:46,610 --> 00:25:48,899
The legend that I've heard so much about

512
00:25:48,934 --> 00:25:50,467
would have already figured out
who this guy was

513
00:25:50,502 --> 00:25:51,935
that you've been talking to,

514
00:25:51,970 --> 00:25:54,954
and why we were asked
to find out why you are.

515
00:25:55,474 --> 00:25:57,641
But I guess that's how things go:

516
00:25:58,082 --> 00:25:59,709
you start out a rebel,

517
00:25:59,745 --> 00:26:01,912
but then you get fat.

518
00:26:01,947 --> 00:26:03,914
And the next thing you know...

519
00:26:03,949 --> 00:26:05,381
you're deep state.

520
00:26:05,817 --> 00:26:07,216
Sad.

521
00:26:12,958 --> 00:26:14,724
Do you know who I am?

522
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,639
I'm Fox Mulder.

523
00:26:16,674 --> 00:26:19,073
I was fighting the power
and breaking conspiracies

524
00:26:19,109 --> 00:26:22,265
before you saw your first
chemtrail, you punks.

525
00:26:22,301 --> 00:26:25,245
I'm Fox freaking Mulder, you punks!

526
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:26,903
I'm Fox Mulder!

527
00:26:26,939 --> 00:26:28,505
Fox Mulder!

528
00:26:28,540 --> 00:26:30,440
So this moron's father

529
00:26:30,475 --> 00:26:31,908
is somehow connected there.

530
00:26:31,944 --> 00:26:33,343
Reggie...

531
00:26:37,049 --> 00:26:39,816
To Bob Dylan,
whose '98 Grammy performance

532
00:26:39,851 --> 00:26:42,085
is remembered by millions
because a half naked man

533
00:26:42,120 --> 00:26:44,154
with the words "soy bomb"
written on his chest

534
00:26:44,189 --> 00:26:46,790
jumped onstage and started
dancing like a spaz.

535
00:26:46,825 --> 00:26:49,092
But no official video
of the incident exists.

536
00:26:49,127 --> 00:26:50,660
Did it even happen?

537
00:26:50,696 --> 00:26:52,762
Seven years later, the band Eels
releases a song,

538
00:26:52,798 --> 00:26:54,331
"Whatever Happened to Soy Bomb?"

539
00:26:54,366 --> 00:26:55,823
A coded message?

540
00:26:55,858 --> 00:26:57,601
Especially because the band's
lead singer,

541
00:26:57,636 --> 00:26:59,474
the son of Hugh Everett III,
who originated

542
00:26:59,510 --> 00:27:01,581
the many-worlds interpretation
of quantum physics...

543
00:27:01,616 --> 00:27:03,689
and I'm right back
to parallel universes again.

544
00:27:04,982 --> 00:27:06,943
It's true, Scully, I've lost the plot.

545
00:27:06,979 --> 00:27:08,545
I can't find the hidden connections

546
00:27:08,580 --> 00:27:09,980
between things anymore.

547
00:27:10,015 --> 00:27:11,348
The world has become too crazy

548
00:27:11,383 --> 00:27:13,350
for even my conspiratorial powers.

549
00:27:13,385 --> 00:27:14,985
Maybe you've just lost your taste for it,

550
00:27:15,021 --> 00:27:17,320
especially
after all this "birther" stuff.

551
00:27:17,995 --> 00:27:19,538
Maybe.

552
00:27:21,226 --> 00:27:23,493
Maybe it's just realizing the absurdity

553
00:27:23,528 --> 00:27:25,795
of an evil doctor named They.

554
00:27:30,340 --> 00:27:32,202
Mulder.

555
00:27:33,672 --> 00:27:36,840
When? Where?

556
00:27:40,846 --> 00:27:42,245
Who was that?

557
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:43,847
Dr. They.

558
00:28:06,471 --> 00:28:08,879
Dr. They, I presume?

559
00:28:10,005 --> 00:28:13,209
Kids today don't even know
what this means.

560
00:28:13,717 --> 00:28:14,778
Why should they?

561
00:28:14,813 --> 00:28:16,946
I mean, when's the last time
someone admitted

562
00:28:16,982 --> 00:28:19,783
doing something they were ashamed of?

563
00:28:19,818 --> 00:28:22,052
Even if caught on tape doing it,
they just say,

564
00:28:22,087 --> 00:28:24,729
"Well, that was taken out of context."

565
00:28:24,765 --> 00:28:27,022
Yes, but why are you shaming me?

566
00:28:27,815 --> 00:28:30,727
Someone who's spent his life
seeking the truth

567
00:28:30,762 --> 00:28:33,263
behind every great conspiracy,

568
00:28:33,298 --> 00:28:36,466
and you're only now finding out about me?

569
00:28:38,534 --> 00:28:40,136
Perhaps it just goes to show

570
00:28:40,172 --> 00:28:41,905
how good you are at hiding
in the shadows.

571
00:28:41,940 --> 00:28:44,708
Who's hiding? I'm in the phone book.

572
00:28:44,743 --> 00:28:46,959
But nobody knows what's
a phone book anymore.

573
00:28:47,709 --> 00:28:49,746
I have to admit,
what little I know of you

574
00:28:49,781 --> 00:28:51,815
I got from a rather dubious online video.

575
00:28:51,850 --> 00:28:54,417
Oh. Did you like that? I made it.

576
00:28:54,453 --> 00:28:58,488
"phony fake news."

577
00:28:58,523 --> 00:29:00,957
It's a presentation of real facts,

578
00:29:00,992 --> 00:29:04,160
but in a way that assures
no one will believe any of it.

579
00:29:04,196 --> 00:29:05,295
To what end?

580
00:29:05,330 --> 00:29:07,931
The bitter end.

581
00:29:07,966 --> 00:29:09,999
Which is why, when I became aware

582
00:29:10,035 --> 00:29:12,836
that you were finally aware of me,

583
00:29:12,871 --> 00:29:15,739
I felt a professional courtesy
to meet with you

584
00:29:15,774 --> 00:29:18,308
and to tell you this in person...

585
00:29:19,032 --> 00:29:20,510
you're dead.

586
00:29:22,180 --> 00:29:23,947
Oh, that came out wrong.

587
00:29:23,982 --> 00:29:25,782
I'm sorry.

588
00:29:25,817 --> 00:29:27,016
I didn't mean to scare you.

589
00:29:27,052 --> 00:29:28,451
I meant your time,

590
00:29:28,487 --> 00:29:31,753
Agent Mulder, your-your time has passed.

591
00:29:32,421 --> 00:29:35,859
Okay. So, what is, or what was my time?

592
00:29:35,894 --> 00:29:38,628
Well, it's a time when
people of power thought

593
00:29:38,663 --> 00:29:41,865
that they could keep their secrets secret

594
00:29:41,900 --> 00:29:45,802
and were willing to do anything
to keep it that way.

595
00:29:45,837 --> 00:29:48,037
Those days are passed. Gone.

596
00:29:48,073 --> 00:29:50,974
We're now living in a post-cover-up,

597
00:29:51,009 --> 00:29:53,309
post-conspiracy age.

598
00:29:53,345 --> 00:29:55,612
N-No doubt, the kids will come up with

599
00:29:55,647 --> 00:29:57,847
some catchphrase for it.

600
00:29:57,883 --> 00:30:00,717
"Po-co" or something. They'll say, like,

601
00:30:00,752 --> 00:30:03,319
"Oh, that's so po-co."

602
00:30:03,355 --> 00:30:05,455
It'll make you wish you really were dead.

603
00:30:05,829 --> 00:30:08,558
As long as the truth gets out...

604
00:30:08,593 --> 00:30:11,961
They don't really care
whether the truth gets out,

605
00:30:11,997 --> 00:30:13,830
because the public no longer knows

606
00:30:13,865 --> 00:30:15,672
what's meant by "the truth."

607
00:30:16,935 --> 00:30:18,468
- What do you mean?
- Well, I mean,

608
00:30:18,503 --> 00:30:20,170
no one can tell the difference anymore

609
00:30:20,205 --> 00:30:22,596
between what's real and what's fake.

610
00:30:22,597 --> 00:30:26,065
There's still an objective
truth, an objective reality.

611
00:30:26,100 --> 00:30:27,893
So what?

612
00:30:28,336 --> 00:30:30,970
I mean, you take this Mandela Effect.

613
00:30:31,005 --> 00:30:34,240
Well, in the old days,
I would never have come out

614
00:30:34,275 --> 00:30:36,342
and admitted to you that, yes,

615
00:30:36,377 --> 00:30:39,178
I can change
people's collective memories.

616
00:30:39,213 --> 00:30:41,895
And that would have meant
that I could control the past.

617
00:30:41,930 --> 00:30:44,617
And if that's true...
well, as Orson Welles once said,

618
00:30:44,652 --> 00:30:47,753
"He who controls the past,
controls the future."

619
00:30:47,789 --> 00:30:49,689
It was George Orwell that said that.

620
00:30:50,457 --> 00:30:51,958
Well, for now maybe.

621
00:30:51,993 --> 00:30:55,695
Anyway, the point is,
I can tell you all of this,

622
00:30:55,730 --> 00:30:58,097
right out in the open,
because it doesn't matter

623
00:30:58,132 --> 00:30:59,865
who knows about it.

624
00:30:59,901 --> 00:31:02,928
They won't know whether
to believe it or not.

625
00:31:03,137 --> 00:31:05,605
To be honest, I'm not believing
any of this.

626
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,206
Well, believe what you want to believe...

627
00:31:07,241 --> 00:31:09,609
that's what everybody does
nowadays anyway.

628
00:31:09,644 --> 00:31:12,478
You're only proving my point, you twit.

629
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:16,882
But, full disclosure, you're right.

630
00:31:16,918 --> 00:31:19,318
I can't control people's minds.

631
00:31:19,354 --> 00:31:21,954
Although it turns out
you don't really have to.

632
00:31:21,990 --> 00:31:24,890
All you need is some people
to think it's possible.

633
00:31:25,450 --> 00:31:28,628
And then you've sown the seeds
of uncertainty.

634
00:31:28,663 --> 00:31:31,631
All you really need is a laptop.

635
00:31:31,666 --> 00:31:33,799
So that's what this has all been about?

636
00:31:33,835 --> 00:31:35,401
The spread of online disinformation?

637
00:31:35,436 --> 00:31:36,878
Maybe.

638
00:31:37,338 --> 00:31:39,705
You know, our current president once said

639
00:31:39,741 --> 00:31:41,707
something truly profound.

640
00:31:42,092 --> 00:31:45,470
He said, "Nobody knows for sure."

641
00:31:46,763 --> 00:31:48,147
What was he referring to?

642
00:31:49,224 --> 00:31:51,117
What does it matter?

643
00:32:20,082 --> 00:32:21,748
Mulder!

644
00:32:21,783 --> 00:32:24,084
How the hell did you get in here?

645
00:32:24,119 --> 00:32:27,254
Foxy, what did you find out from They?

646
00:32:27,289 --> 00:32:29,693
I'm not exactly sure what
to think about any of it.

647
00:32:29,729 --> 00:32:32,525
Oh, God. What did They do to you?

648
00:32:32,561 --> 00:32:34,728
Look, that's exactly what
they want you to think

649
00:32:34,763 --> 00:32:36,149
about everything.

650
00:32:36,184 --> 00:32:38,148
First thing I need to do is
find out who you are.

651
00:32:38,183 --> 00:32:41,193
His name is Reginald Murgatroid.

652
00:32:42,819 --> 00:32:45,238
Using your yearbook,

653
00:32:45,274 --> 00:32:48,341
I tracked down your
high school transcripts.

654
00:32:48,377 --> 00:32:50,677
You only spent a few weeks
there, and you didn't graduate.

655
00:32:50,712 --> 00:32:53,513
But after completing your GEDs,
you enlisted in the army

656
00:32:53,548 --> 00:32:57,717
and participated in the invasion
of Grenada,

657
00:32:57,753 --> 00:33:02,422
where one of the resistance
soldiers/construction workers

658
00:33:02,457 --> 00:33:04,357
hit you on the head with a shovel.

659
00:33:04,393 --> 00:33:06,459
You received medical assistance

660
00:33:06,495 --> 00:33:08,595
at the U.S. university hospital there.

661
00:33:08,630 --> 00:33:10,030
After your stint in the military,

662
00:33:10,065 --> 00:33:14,034
you engaged in a series
of bureaucratic jobs

663
00:33:14,069 --> 00:33:16,228
in various federal agencies.

664
00:33:16,905 --> 00:33:18,838
Starting with the U.S. Postal Service.

665
00:33:22,390 --> 00:33:24,486
Then, the Internal Revenue Service.

666
00:33:27,768 --> 00:33:29,668
The Security and Exchange Commission.

667
00:33:32,130 --> 00:33:34,053
And the Department of Justice,
specifically

668
00:33:34,089 --> 00:33:35,754
in the Witness Protection Agency.

669
00:33:35,789 --> 00:33:38,383
All right, Anthony
"The Meat Grinder" Mortillaro,

670
00:33:38,418 --> 00:33:40,165
onetime hit man for the mob,

671
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,263
you are now Tony Jones,
real estate agent.

672
00:33:43,298 --> 00:33:46,433
But after 9/11, you joined the CIA.

673
00:33:48,837 --> 00:33:50,303
Hey.

674
00:33:52,607 --> 00:33:55,189
And then onto the Pentagon,
with the Department of Defense.

675
00:33:55,225 --> 00:33:57,602
Boom goes the dynamite!

676
00:33:59,075 --> 00:33:59,980
Wait.

677
00:34:00,015 --> 00:34:01,581
Was that a wedding cake?

678
00:34:01,616 --> 00:34:03,616
Damn it! Not again.

679
00:34:04,853 --> 00:34:06,625
Oh, well, time for lunch.

680
00:34:06,626 --> 00:34:08,359
But your longest stint

681
00:34:08,394 --> 00:34:11,157
was at the NSA,
the National Security Agency.

682
00:34:11,192 --> 00:34:12,468
So you actually voted for him?

683
00:34:12,504 --> 00:34:14,732
Yeah. He's going to drain the swamp.

684
00:34:14,768 --> 00:34:17,301
Get all those Goldman Sachs
people out of the White House.

685
00:34:17,337 --> 00:34:19,771
Hey, Scully, did I ever
tell you about the time

686
00:34:19,806 --> 00:34:22,106
I found a Sasquatch footprint in the mud?

687
00:34:22,142 --> 00:34:24,642
Ah, yeah, you did.
I've heard this before.

688
00:34:24,677 --> 00:34:26,310
It was 35 years ago, about,

689
00:34:26,346 --> 00:34:27,912
- on the banks...
- It was on the banks

690
00:34:27,947 --> 00:34:30,715
- of the mighty Mogoagogo River.
- of the Mogoagogo River.

691
00:34:30,750 --> 00:34:32,216
Until about a year ago,

692
00:34:32,252 --> 00:34:35,219
when you were committed
to a mental institution

693
00:34:35,255 --> 00:34:36,988
because you'd had a nervous breakdown.

694
00:34:37,023 --> 00:34:39,978
Wait... what?

695
00:34:40,812 --> 00:34:42,493
Or perhaps

696
00:34:42,529 --> 00:34:45,077
it's merely the culmination
of disillusionment of a man

697
00:34:45,112 --> 00:34:49,133
who simply wanted to spend his
life in service of the country

698
00:34:49,169 --> 00:34:51,469
that he loved, but began
to feel tormented by the idea

699
00:34:51,504 --> 00:34:53,568
that he was betraying its very ideals.

700
00:34:53,603 --> 00:34:56,407
And so, using information,
apparently gathered

701
00:34:56,442 --> 00:34:58,643
through illegal, warrantless wiretaps,

702
00:34:59,206 --> 00:35:01,479
you escaped into a fantasy
where you imagined

703
00:35:01,514 --> 00:35:03,281
that you joined a team that still did

704
00:35:03,316 --> 00:35:06,884
fight for truth and justice.

705
00:35:10,592 --> 00:35:11,689
Or...

706
00:35:11,724 --> 00:35:14,258
I'm from a parallel universe,
and I jumped dimensions...

707
00:35:14,294 --> 00:35:15,785
no, that's stupid.

708
00:35:15,820 --> 00:35:17,528
Right? Sorry.

709
00:35:17,933 --> 00:35:19,392
Mm-hmm.

710
00:35:23,036 --> 00:35:24,502
Well...

711
00:35:24,537 --> 00:35:26,608
looks like my ride is here.

712
00:35:27,740 --> 00:35:29,340
Hey, guys.

713
00:35:29,375 --> 00:35:31,509
Uh, you remember what I said last time

714
00:35:31,544 --> 00:35:33,611
about if you wanted me
to come along peacefully?

715
00:35:33,646 --> 00:35:37,348
Aw, Mr. Murgatroid, it demeans all of us.

716
00:35:37,383 --> 00:35:40,985
No. No, it gives us
a touch of classicism.

717
00:35:41,020 --> 00:35:42,520
Mm.

718
00:35:42,999 --> 00:35:44,555
So you remember how, uh,

719
00:35:44,591 --> 00:35:46,290
crazy people used to be portrayed

720
00:35:46,326 --> 00:35:47,892
as thinking they were Napoleon?

721
00:35:49,195 --> 00:35:50,695
When did that stop?

722
00:35:50,730 --> 00:35:52,997
Maybe it's another Mengele Effect, right?

723
00:35:53,032 --> 00:35:55,032
Well, uh, take care, guys.

724
00:35:55,068 --> 00:35:56,567
Stay sane.

725
00:35:56,603 --> 00:36:00,225
And, um, good luck
with the rest of your cases.

726
00:36:03,176 --> 00:36:04,342
Reggie.

727
00:36:06,579 --> 00:36:10,781
Our last case together, what happened?

728
00:36:16,089 --> 00:36:18,189
We found the truth that's out there.

729
00:36:18,224 --> 00:36:21,893
I'd suddenly recalled the Alien
at Grenada's declaration,

730
00:36:21,928 --> 00:36:24,662
that one of his kind would
return to Earth 35 years later.

731
00:36:24,697 --> 00:36:28,032
Foxy's crazy intuition of the
uncanny led him to figure out

732
00:36:28,067 --> 00:36:30,034
the location of the visitation.

733
00:36:30,069 --> 00:36:31,736
Scully drove.

734
00:36:31,771 --> 00:36:33,004
There it is!

735
00:36:41,641 --> 00:36:44,148
Is that what I think it is?

736
00:36:47,397 --> 00:36:49,566
It's the gold record.

737
00:36:50,556 --> 00:36:51,722
Yup.

738
00:36:51,758 --> 00:36:53,124
It's the Voyager.

739
00:36:53,159 --> 00:36:55,026
What's left of it.

740
00:37:08,408 --> 00:37:11,809
Greetings, Earthlings.

741
00:37:39,472 --> 00:37:42,974
I come before you as a representative

742
00:37:43,009 --> 00:37:45,643
of the Intergalactic Union
of Sentient Beings

743
00:37:45,678 --> 00:37:49,080
from All Known Universes and Beyond.

744
00:37:49,115 --> 00:37:50,815
We have been observing your species

745
00:37:50,850 --> 00:37:54,018
for many, what you call, "years."

746
00:37:54,053 --> 00:37:56,020
Our study is now complete.

747
00:37:56,055 --> 00:37:59,623
We no longer wish to have
any further contact with you.

748
00:37:59,659 --> 00:38:02,660
We have returned your music sampler

749
00:38:02,695 --> 00:38:06,197
but will no longer tolerate any
further efforts on your part

750
00:38:06,232 --> 00:38:08,532
to venture beyond your realm.

751
00:38:08,568 --> 00:38:10,334
We are building a wall.

752
00:38:10,370 --> 00:38:15,206
It will be a beautiful, albeit
invisible, electromagnetic wall

753
00:38:15,241 --> 00:38:18,009
that will subatomically incinerate

754
00:38:18,044 --> 00:38:21,946
any probes you attempt to send
beyond your solar system.

755
00:38:21,981 --> 00:38:25,016
You're free
to explore Uranus all you want.

756
00:38:25,051 --> 00:38:26,784
But we can't allow your kind

757
00:38:26,819 --> 00:38:29,687
to infiltrate the rest of the cosmos.

758
00:38:29,722 --> 00:38:32,456
You're not sending us your best people.

759
00:38:32,492 --> 00:38:33,858
You're bringing drugs.

760
00:38:33,893 --> 00:38:35,559
You're bringing crime.

761
00:38:35,595 --> 00:38:37,395
You're rapists.

762
00:38:37,430 --> 00:38:41,065
And some, I assume, are good people,

763
00:38:41,678 --> 00:38:43,667
but we have no choice.

764
00:38:43,703 --> 00:38:44,969
Believe me.

765
00:38:45,004 --> 00:38:46,504
For although the rest of the galaxies

766
00:38:46,539 --> 00:38:49,473
all have their share
of these same problems,

767
00:38:49,509 --> 00:38:51,709
we fear you could infect us
with the one trait

768
00:38:51,744 --> 00:38:54,311
that is unique to Earthlings.

769
00:38:54,347 --> 00:38:55,880
You lie.

770
00:38:57,216 --> 00:38:59,016
To show there are no hard feelings,

771
00:38:59,052 --> 00:39:01,986
we've compiled a compendium
of answers to any questions

772
00:39:02,021 --> 00:39:04,915
you might still have regarding...

773
00:39:04,951 --> 00:39:07,058
anything.

774
00:39:16,546 --> 00:39:20,604
Good luck, and good riddance.

775
00:39:39,492 --> 00:39:43,127
Bing, bing, bong, bong, bing.

776
00:39:57,212 --> 00:39:59,376
So that's the truth?

777
00:39:59,412 --> 00:40:04,648
We're not alone in the universe,
but nobody likes us?

778
00:40:04,684 --> 00:40:06,221
It's okay, Mulder.

779
00:40:06,686 --> 00:40:09,420
- There'll always be more X-Files.
- No.

780
00:40:09,933 --> 00:40:13,895
They gave us
all the answers to everything.

781
00:40:14,460 --> 00:40:16,327
Even Sasquatch.

782
00:40:17,232 --> 00:40:20,097
No! It's not true!

783
00:40:20,485 --> 00:40:22,166
It can't be.

784
00:40:26,672 --> 00:40:28,672
It's time to face the facts, guys.

785
00:40:30,176 --> 00:40:32,413
This is the end of the X-Files.

786
00:40:33,459 --> 00:40:36,042
But maybe the point
wasn't to find the truth,

787
00:40:37,229 --> 00:40:38,729
but to find each other.

788
00:40:39,295 --> 00:40:41,847
For no matter where we go in our lives,

789
00:40:42,298 --> 00:40:44,822
we will always have the memories
of our time together,

790
00:40:44,857 --> 00:40:46,624
and no one can take those away

791
00:40:46,659 --> 00:40:48,626
or alter them in such a way
to make us doubt

792
00:40:48,651 --> 00:40:50,251
that they actually happened.

793
00:40:50,296 --> 00:40:51,349
Oh, Reggie.

794
00:40:52,231 --> 00:40:53,430
I've always...

795
00:40:53,455 --> 00:40:54,903
Shh.

796
00:40:55,668 --> 00:40:57,301
I know.

797
00:40:57,336 --> 00:40:59,232
I know.

798
00:41:11,684 --> 00:41:13,384
And as we now know,

799
00:41:13,746 --> 00:41:15,819
they lived happily ever after.

800
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:23,394
We'll be sure to come visit you, Reggie.

801
00:41:23,429 --> 00:41:24,828
No, you won't.

802
00:41:43,516 --> 00:41:45,528
Where the hell are they taking Reggie?

803
00:41:48,427 --> 00:41:49,993
Wait, what?

804
00:41:52,124 --> 00:41:54,120
Hmm.

805
00:41:56,164 --> 00:41:58,429
I see you found your lost episode.

806
00:41:58,464 --> 00:42:00,531
Turns out it wasn't
a Twilight Zone after all.

807
00:42:00,566 --> 00:42:03,968
It was a knockoff show
called The Dusky Realm.

808
00:42:08,801 --> 00:42:10,608
Which is now lost for the ages.

809
00:42:12,645 --> 00:42:15,946
Couldn't find anything
to set it in, so I used your...

810
00:42:15,982 --> 00:42:18,716
Bigfoot impression as a mold.

811
00:42:24,984 --> 00:42:26,891
Oh, no, wait, you first.

812
00:42:26,926 --> 00:42:28,592
It could be the lemon-lime.

813
00:42:28,628 --> 00:42:30,031
But... yeah...

814
00:42:36,235 --> 00:42:37,830
Oh...

815
00:42:55,020 --> 00:42:57,054
I want to remember how it was.

816
00:43:02,146 --> 00:43:04,273
I want to remember how it all was.

817
