1
00:00:17,186 --> 00:00:19,271
(umpire) Play ball!
2
00:00:29,698 --> 00:00:32,284
Ball four! Take your base!
3
00:00:36,371 --> 00:00:38,457
That's it, Moose! You're gettin' close!
4
00:00:38,540 --> 00:00:41,168
He couldn't find the plate
if you nailed it to his ass.
5
00:00:41,293 --> 00:00:43,879
Shut your pie hole, Piney.
The kid's gotta learn.
6
00:00:43,962 --> 00:00:48,300
Come straight over the top, Moose!
Straight over the top! Come on!
7
00:00:48,383 --> 00:00:51,470
Hot damn. Exley's up.
8
00:00:52,179 --> 00:00:54,598
Back up! Exley's up! Back up!
9
00:01:00,812 --> 00:01:03,523
He got the right prescription
in those spectacles?
10
00:01:03,607 --> 00:01:06,068
Don't worry, Ex. See, I told him to throw it
11
00:01:06,151 --> 00:01:09,196
right at your big
nappy home-run hittin' head.
12
00:01:09,321 --> 00:01:13,325
So you can bet 100 clams
that ball's goin' anywhere but there.
13
00:01:19,873 --> 00:01:22,167
Foul! Foul ball! Foul!
14
00:01:59,955 --> 00:02:01,957
Ball!
15
00:02:02,958 --> 00:02:05,460
Moose! Straight over the top!
16
00:02:06,878 --> 00:02:09,923
Hey, Ex, I heard the Yankees been calling ya.
17
00:02:10,048 --> 00:02:14,052
I'm fine playing here in the Cactus League.
It's nice and quiet.
18
00:02:20,142 --> 00:02:23,061
Ball! Leave the cactus alone, son!
19
00:02:24,229 --> 00:02:27,941
I don't know, Ex. The Yanks could
use those 60 home runs a year.
20
00:02:28,066 --> 00:02:32,571
Now Jackie Robinson's up there in the bigs,
people are sayin' you're gonna be next.
21
00:02:32,654 --> 00:02:36,241
The first black Negro man of colour
in the American League.
22
00:02:36,325 --> 00:02:38,285
Shoot, Ex. You'll be famous, man.
23
00:02:38,368 --> 00:02:41,788
I don't want to be no famous man.
I just wanna be a man.
24
00:02:43,248 --> 00:02:45,959
Over the top! Over the top!
25
00:02:58,597 --> 00:03:00,891
Fair ball! Home run! Home run!
26
00:03:03,685 --> 00:03:04,895
61.
27
00:03:38,637 --> 00:03:41,556
What do you boys want?
We're just playing baseball.
28
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:47,062
We got no beef with you, sir. It's that black
Babe Ruth hiding behind you, Josh Exley.
29
00:03:47,145 --> 00:03:50,649
- That's all we come for.
- Well, you can't have him.
30
00:03:50,774 --> 00:03:54,069
We heard the Yankees wanna let
a little nigger play ball!
31
00:03:54,152 --> 00:03:58,365
So we just figure we gotta play
with him a little bit some first!
32
00:03:58,448 --> 00:04:04,162
And all you niggers
and nigger lovers can go home!
33
00:04:04,246 --> 00:04:06,540
It's Ex we want.
34
00:04:09,167 --> 00:04:13,755
That's what I'm talking about, Moose.
Straight over the top with it.
35
00:04:20,846 --> 00:04:23,098
Get the guns. Get the guns.
36
00:04:24,307 --> 00:04:28,812
You boys ain't so tough without
your shotguns, are you, fellas?
37
00:04:28,895 --> 00:04:31,523
You ain't nothing but a coward...
38
00:04:31,606 --> 00:04:35,193
hiding behind your mama's bedsheet.
Let's see your face.
39
00:04:39,072 --> 00:04:40,615
Holy mother...
40
00:05:18,862 --> 00:05:22,157
It's a gorgeous day for baseball
here in the City of the Angels.
41
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:26,578
And I'm told it's a gorgeous day
all over our republic today.
42
00:05:26,661 --> 00:05:30,373
From Bangor to Bellflower.
From Amarillo to Anchorage.
43
00:05:30,457 --> 00:05:35,170
The sun is shining
and it's a perfect day to play baseball.
44
00:05:35,253 --> 00:05:38,381
Eddie Perez will start it off...
45
00:05:51,269 --> 00:05:55,482
Mulder, it is such a gorgeous day outside.
46
00:05:55,565 --> 00:05:59,277
You ever entertained the idea
of trying to find life on this planet?
47
00:05:59,361 --> 00:06:03,490
I've seen the life on this planet.
That is exactly why I'm looking elsewhere.
48
00:06:11,289 --> 00:06:14,084
Did you bring enough ice cream
to share with the class?
49
00:06:14,167 --> 00:06:18,880
It's not ice cream.
It's a Nonfat Tofutti Rice Dreamsicle.
50
00:06:18,964 --> 00:06:20,090
Ugh!
51
00:06:20,173 --> 00:06:23,134
I bet the air in my mouth
tastes better than that.
52
00:06:23,218 --> 00:06:26,888
- You sure know how to live it up, Scully.
- You're Mr Live It Up.
53
00:06:26,972 --> 00:06:32,644
You're really... Mr Squeeze Every Last Drop
Out Of This Sweet Life, aren't you?
54
00:06:32,727 --> 00:06:36,940
On this precious Saturday,
you've got us grabbing life by the testes.
55
00:06:37,023 --> 00:06:40,318
Stealing books from the FBI library
in order to go through
56
00:06:40,402 --> 00:06:45,490
New Mexico newspaper obituaries
for the years 1940 to 1949.
57
00:06:45,574 --> 00:06:48,827
- And for what joyful purpose?
- Looking for anomalies.
58
00:06:48,910 --> 00:06:53,498
Do you know how many flying-disc reports
there were in New Mexico in the 1940s?
59
00:06:53,582 --> 00:06:56,126
I don't care. This is a needle in a haystack.
60
00:06:56,209 --> 00:07:00,297
These poor souls have been dead
for 50 years. Let them rest in peace.
61
00:07:00,380 --> 00:07:04,384
- Let sleeping dogs lie.
- I won't sit by as you hurl clichés at me.
62
00:07:04,467 --> 00:07:07,762
- Preparation is the father of inspiration.
- Necessity is the mother of invention.
63
00:07:07,846 --> 00:07:09,848
The road of excess leads
to the palace of wisdom.
64
00:07:09,973 --> 00:07:11,850
Eat, drink, and be merry,
for tomorrow we may die.
65
00:07:11,975 --> 00:07:16,813
Ice cream, you scream, we all scream
for Nonfat Tofutti Rice Dreamsicles!
66
00:07:19,566 --> 00:07:21,651
Mulder.
67
00:07:22,611 --> 00:07:25,155
Mulder!
68
00:07:25,238 --> 00:07:30,201
You cheat! I can't believe it. You've been
reading about baseball this whole time.
69
00:07:30,285 --> 00:07:34,706
I'm reading the box scores.
It's like the Pythagorean theorem for jocks.
70
00:07:34,789 --> 00:07:38,960
It distils all the chaos and action
of any game in the history of all games
71
00:07:39,044 --> 00:07:41,755
into one perfect
rectangular sequence of numbers.
72
00:07:41,838 --> 00:07:45,550
I can look at this box and I can
recreate exactly what happened
73
00:07:45,634 --> 00:07:50,972
on some sunny summer day back in 1947.
The numbers talk to me. They comfort me.
74
00:07:51,056 --> 00:07:55,602
They tell me even though things can change,
some things do remain the same. It's...
75
00:07:55,685 --> 00:07:56,895
Boflng.
76
00:07:58,396 --> 00:08:01,107
Mulder, can I ask you a personal question?
77
00:08:02,233 --> 00:08:03,318
Of course not.
78
00:08:03,401 --> 00:08:07,656
Did your mother ever tell you
to go outside and play?
79
00:08:08,782 --> 00:08:11,493
- Is that Arthur Dales?
- Mulder?
80
00:08:12,744 --> 00:08:14,829
(fakes sneeze)
81
00:08:17,082 --> 00:08:20,627
You just defaced property
of the US government.
82
00:08:23,088 --> 00:08:24,089
You rebel.
83
00:08:35,725 --> 00:08:40,313
- What in the hell took you so long?
- I'm sorry, sir. I'm looking for Arthur Dales.
84
00:08:40,438 --> 00:08:43,858
- I'm Arthur Dales.
- No, you're not.
85
00:08:43,942 --> 00:08:48,029
- Don't be a wise-ass, son.
- No. I'm sorry, sir. I know Arthur Dales.
86
00:08:48,113 --> 00:08:51,950
- And you're not Arthur Dales.
- Arthur Dales is my brother.
87
00:08:52,075 --> 00:08:55,954
My name also happens to be Arthur Dales.
The same name, different guy.
88
00:08:56,079 --> 00:08:59,374
The other Arthur, he moved to Florida.
Lucky bastard.
89
00:08:59,457 --> 00:09:04,462
Our parents weren't big in the imagination
department when it came to names.
90
00:09:04,546 --> 00:09:08,466
If it'll help you wrapping your head
around this stupefying mystery,
91
00:09:08,550 --> 00:09:14,305
Agent Mulder, we had a sister
named Arthur, too. And a goldfish.
92
00:09:15,098 --> 00:09:18,727
- How do you know my name?
- My brother told me all about you.
93
00:09:18,810 --> 00:09:23,523
He said you were the biggest jackass
in the Bureau since he retired.
94
00:09:23,606 --> 00:09:25,775
Yeah, we're big fans.
95
00:09:25,859 --> 00:09:30,613
Sometimes we'd stay awake for hours
at night just talking about you.
96
00:09:30,697 --> 00:09:32,449
Just fascinating.
97
00:09:32,532 --> 00:09:36,661
Now unless you're hiding
some Chinese food, let's call it a day.
98
00:09:41,916 --> 00:09:46,546
Mr Dales, I have a, uh...
I have a photo here of your brother.
99
00:09:46,629 --> 00:09:51,217
Maybe it's you. It's from many years ago.
You're standing in Roswell, New Mexico.
100
00:09:51,342 --> 00:09:55,847
(Dales) Roswell. That's me.
I was a cop once in Roswell.
101
00:09:55,930 --> 00:09:58,850
You're standing with
Negro League legend Josh Exley,
102
00:09:58,933 --> 00:10:02,645
who disappeared during a season
in which he hit 60 home runs.
103
00:10:02,729 --> 00:10:06,107
- 61!
- 61 home runs in 1948.
104
00:10:06,191 --> 00:10:08,026
105
00:10:08,151 --> 00:10:11,029
Whatever. I don't care
about the baseball so much.
106
00:10:11,112 --> 00:10:15,492
What I care about is this man in the picture
who I believe to be an alien bounty hunter.
107
00:10:15,575 --> 00:10:19,245
Of course you don't care
about the baseball, Mr Mulder.
108
00:10:19,370 --> 00:10:23,249
You only bothered my brother about
things like government conspiracies,
109
00:10:23,374 --> 00:10:26,586
and alien bounty hunters,
and the truth with a capital
110
00:10:26,669 --> 00:10:29,714
- Wait a minute. I like baseball.
- You like baseball?
111
00:10:29,798 --> 00:10:32,425
How many home runs did Mickey Mantle hit?
112
00:10:35,261 --> 00:10:37,847
163...
113
00:10:38,681 --> 00:10:40,725
righty, 373 lefty.
114
00:10:40,809 --> 00:10:43,269
536 total.
115
00:10:45,021 --> 00:10:49,150
(Dales) Now what you fail to understand
in yourjoyless myopia
116
00:10:49,234 --> 00:10:52,570
is that baseball is the key to life.
117
00:10:52,654 --> 00:10:54,989
The Rosetta stone, if you will.
118
00:10:55,073 --> 00:10:59,702
If you just understood baseball better,
all your other questions, your...
119
00:10:59,786 --> 00:11:02,705
the, uh... the aliens, the conspiracies,
120
00:11:02,789 --> 00:11:06,084
they would all in their way
be answered by the baseball gods.
121
00:11:06,209 --> 00:11:11,589
Yes, sir. That may be true. Your experience
in Roswell could be germane to a conspiracy
122
00:11:11,673 --> 00:11:14,926
between men in our government
and shapeshifting alien beings.
123
00:11:15,009 --> 00:11:19,806
Don't bore me, son.
My brother Arthur started the X-Files,
124
00:11:19,889 --> 00:11:23,643
at the Federal Bureau of Obfuscation,
before you were born.
125
00:11:23,726 --> 00:11:26,563
He was working for the FBI,
hunting for aliens,
126
00:11:26,646 --> 00:11:29,691
when you were watching
My Best Friend's Martians.
127
00:11:29,774 --> 00:11:32,277
You say "shapeshifting".
128
00:11:32,402 --> 00:11:38,658
Agent Mulder, do you believe that
love can make a man shapeshift?
129
00:11:42,036 --> 00:11:45,665
I guess... women change men all the time.
130
00:11:45,748 --> 00:11:49,252
I'm not talking about women.
I'm talking about love, passion.
131
00:11:49,335 --> 00:11:52,630
Like the passion you have
for proving extraterrestrial life.
132
00:11:52,714 --> 00:11:57,802
Do you believe that that passion
can change your very nature?
133
00:11:57,886 --> 00:12:03,683
Can make you shapeshift from a man
into something other than a man?
134
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:08,146
What exactly has your brother
told you about me?
135
00:12:11,065 --> 00:12:14,444
If you and your brother have known
about this bounty hunter
136
00:12:14,527 --> 00:12:18,239
and plans for colonisation for 50 years,
why haven't you told anybody?
137
00:12:18,323 --> 00:12:20,491
- Nobody'd believe me.
- I would've.
138
00:12:20,575 --> 00:12:24,662
- You weren't ripe.
- Not ripe?
139
00:12:24,746 --> 00:12:26,956
I've been ripe for years.
140
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,834
I am way past ripe. I'm so ripe, I'm rotten!
141
00:12:29,918 --> 00:12:33,796
This cuts to the heart of the mystery
of what I've been doing for ten years.
142
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,884
The heart of the mystery.
The heart of the mystery.
143
00:12:37,967 --> 00:12:41,512
Ah, there you are.
144
00:12:42,347 --> 00:12:48,853
Mr Mulder, maybe you'd better start paying a
little less attention to the heart of the mystery
145
00:12:48,937 --> 00:12:53,107
and a little more attention
to the mystery of the heart.
146
00:12:53,191 --> 00:12:55,068
- You got a dime?
- What is this?
147
00:12:55,151 --> 00:12:57,904
This little fella goes
by the name of Pete Rosebud.
148
00:12:57,987 --> 00:13:02,742
If you keep pumping coffee money into him,
he'll tell you a story about baseball,
149
00:13:02,825 --> 00:13:04,911
and aliens and bounty hunters.
150
00:13:04,994 --> 00:13:07,872
- You're making me feel like a child.
- Perfect.
151
00:13:07,956 --> 00:13:10,792
That's the right place to start from, isn't it?
152
00:13:10,875 --> 00:13:16,881
Now the first thing you gotta know about
baseball is... it keeps you for ever young.
153
00:13:34,232 --> 00:13:37,777
Mr Exley? Mr Exley, my name's Arthur Dales.
154
00:13:37,860 --> 00:13:41,239
I'm an employee of the
Roswell Police Department.
155
00:13:42,991 --> 00:13:45,827
- Have I broken a law?
- You stole...
156
00:13:45,910 --> 00:13:50,081
second base in the third inning.
I'm a witness. Officer, I seen Ex steal.
157
00:13:50,164 --> 00:13:54,335
- At least 50 bases this year.
- No, sir. You haven't broken any laws.
158
00:13:54,419 --> 00:13:59,007
I've been assigned by my superiors
to protect you against certain parties.
159
00:13:59,090 --> 00:14:04,971
I'm the one that need protection from certain
parties. Ex, he in bed by eight every night.
160
00:14:05,054 --> 00:14:08,558
I appreciate your concern,
sir, but I can protect myself.
161
00:14:08,641 --> 00:14:12,854
I'm not a big sports hero like yourself,
and I don't have an opinion on Negroes.
162
00:14:12,937 --> 00:14:16,774
Or Jews, or Communists,
or even Canadians and vegetarians.
163
00:14:16,858 --> 00:14:20,570
But I cannot stomach the murder of a man
of any persuasion or any colour
164
00:14:20,653 --> 00:14:23,823
being flaunted and solicited
in my town. Not on my watch.
165
00:14:23,906 --> 00:14:28,828
So you can be safe with me in a cell or
you can be safe with me here on the bus.
166
00:14:28,911 --> 00:14:32,790
Seeing as how this is still America,
you're free to choose, sir.
167
00:14:40,298 --> 00:14:42,383
(Dales speaking French)
168
00:14:49,891 --> 00:14:54,312
- Officer Dales. You a decent man, ain't you?
- I try to be.
169
00:14:54,395 --> 00:14:59,984
Umps would treat us better if you got us
eight more uniforms like these to play in.
170
00:15:00,068 --> 00:15:05,281
You could change your name from Roswell
Grays to the Roswell Black and Blues.
171
00:15:48,658 --> 00:15:50,743
(thunder)
172
00:16:20,606 --> 00:16:26,571
What's the matter, Arthur? You look like
you ain't never seen a black man before.
173
00:16:34,620 --> 00:16:39,750
I gotta give it to you. Calling a Negro League
team from Roswell the Grays, is pretty clever.
174
00:16:39,834 --> 00:16:42,503
(mimicking ET) ET steal home.
175
00:16:42,587 --> 00:16:44,755
I didn't make that up.
176
00:16:44,839 --> 00:16:49,177
You want me to believe that Josh Exley,
the great ball player, was an alien?
177
00:16:49,260 --> 00:16:52,430
They're all aliens, Agent Mulder.
All the great ones.
178
00:16:52,513 --> 00:16:55,349
- Babe Ruth was an alien?
- Yeah.
179
00:16:55,433 --> 00:16:57,435
Umps would treat us better if you got us
eight more uniforms like these to play in.
180
00:16:57,518 --> 00:16:59,353
- Willie Mays?
- Obviously.
181
00:16:59,437 --> 00:17:01,105
Mantle? Koufax?
182
00:17:01,189 --> 00:17:03,566
- Gibson?
- Bob or Kirk?
183
00:17:03,649 --> 00:17:09,447
See, none of the great ones fit in.
Not in this world. Not in any other world.
184
00:17:09,572 --> 00:17:11,616
(knock at door)
185
00:17:11,741 --> 00:17:16,954
They're all aliens, Mulder.
Till they step between the white chalk lines.
186
00:17:17,038 --> 00:17:19,207
Until they step on the outfield grass.
187
00:17:19,290 --> 00:17:22,752
Like clockwork. Poorboy with my medicine.
188
00:17:23,961 --> 00:17:26,547
Give the kid a tip, will you?
189
00:17:28,633 --> 00:17:32,011
So I assume you're speaking metaphorically.
190
00:17:32,595 --> 00:17:36,474
Speaking metaphorically is for
young men like you, Agent MacGyver.
191
00:17:36,557 --> 00:17:41,020
I don't have time for that.
I only have time to speak the truth.
192
00:17:43,356 --> 00:17:45,983
You're a regular Rockefeller, ain't ya?
193
00:17:56,244 --> 00:17:59,413
If Ex hits a couple of dingers,
that ties the Babe!
194
00:17:59,497 --> 00:18:03,626
That ball's worth nothin'. Ex ain't a
major-leaguer, so the record don't count.
195
00:18:03,709 --> 00:18:05,086
- Does too.
- Does not.
196
00:18:05,169 --> 00:18:06,629
- Does too.
- Does not.
197
00:18:06,921 --> 00:18:08,172
- Does too.
- Does not.
198
00:18:08,256 --> 00:18:09,465
- Does.
- Not.
199
00:19:05,855 --> 00:19:07,940
(vomits)
200
00:19:08,733 --> 00:19:10,860
Perfect day for a ball game.
201
00:20:02,036 --> 00:20:06,540
- There, uh... there was a bee on you.
- Must've been a real big one.
202
00:20:06,624 --> 00:20:08,751
Could've ripped your head off.
203
00:20:10,544 --> 00:20:12,630
Hey, Arthur...
204
00:20:14,465 --> 00:20:15,591
Thanks.
205
00:20:17,635 --> 00:20:22,431
Officer Arthur Dales, making the world
safe for baseball and Negroes.
206
00:20:26,644 --> 00:20:27,853
(crowd cheering)
207
00:20:39,824 --> 00:20:41,951
Play ball!
208
00:20:58,884 --> 00:21:03,848
Do you know your name, son?
Josh, do you know where you are?
209
00:21:03,973 --> 00:21:06,016
(speaks gibberish)
210
00:21:06,100 --> 00:21:07,852
Josh, man, wake up!
211
00:21:09,854 --> 00:21:11,814
Do you know where you're from?
212
00:21:13,816 --> 00:21:15,860
Macon.
213
00:21:16,819 --> 00:21:18,863
Macon, Georgia?
214
00:21:22,783 --> 00:21:24,869
(crowd cheering)
215
00:21:44,722 --> 00:21:46,807
(phone rings)
216
00:21:47,725 --> 00:21:50,186
Macon Police Department. Can I help you?
217
00:21:50,269 --> 00:21:53,647
My name is Arthur Dales.
I'm with the Roswell Police Department.
218
00:21:53,731 --> 00:21:58,319
I'm doing a background check on
a gentleman from your area: Josh Exley.
219
00:21:58,402 --> 00:22:02,156
You want information on a Josh Exley?
220
00:22:05,743 --> 00:22:10,748
Yeah. The name rings a bell.
Yeah. I got a Josh Exley.
221
00:22:10,831 --> 00:22:15,544
A six-year-old coloured boy disappeared,
oh, maybe five years ago.
222
00:22:15,628 --> 00:22:19,256
Have you got a read on
this Josh Exley's whereabouts?
223
00:22:19,340 --> 00:22:21,425
Six years old?
224
00:22:22,051 --> 00:22:24,762
- You want me to run some chemical tests?
- Hold on.
225
00:22:24,845 --> 00:22:28,557
That would make him 11 now?
No, that can't... can't be the one.
226
00:22:30,309 --> 00:22:32,394
I... I love my job.
227
00:22:34,188 --> 00:22:38,192
- Is that all you have? Are you certain?
- Certain as the sunrise.
228
00:22:38,275 --> 00:22:40,361
I'm sorry, son.
229
00:22:42,571 --> 00:22:44,448
Where are you calling from?
230
00:22:44,823 --> 00:22:48,494
- Roswell. Roswell, New Mexico.
- Roswell.
231
00:22:50,871 --> 00:22:54,083
- Hey. Morning, Poorboy.
- Morning, Ex. How's the melon?
232
00:22:54,166 --> 00:22:56,710
My melon's fine. That boy throws like a lady.
233
00:22:56,794 --> 00:23:00,297
I hear the Yankee scouts are here.
Gonna hit numero 6-0?
234
00:23:00,381 --> 00:23:04,426
- There ain't no scouts here today.
- Sure there are. Look.
235
00:23:06,971 --> 00:23:09,098
Over there.
236
00:23:10,558 --> 00:23:12,726
I'll be damned.
237
00:23:14,395 --> 00:23:16,480
Hey, kids.
238
00:23:16,564 --> 00:23:19,900
- So how's it going?
- Ex is stinking up the diamond.
239
00:23:19,984 --> 00:23:21,360
- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.
240
00:23:21,443 --> 00:23:25,823
- Well, anybody can have a bad day.
- The Yankee scouts are in attendance today.
241
00:23:25,906 --> 00:23:31,787
They won't relish the idea of him being in the
majors after such a piss-poor inning as this.
242
00:23:32,621 --> 00:23:34,498
Strike two!
243
00:23:34,582 --> 00:23:36,500
(crowd jeering)
244
00:23:49,930 --> 00:23:52,182
(umpire) Two balls, two strikes now!
245
00:24:06,780 --> 00:24:08,866
(thunder)
246
00:24:12,453 --> 00:24:16,040
Hey, Ex... Why'd you tank that game today?
247
00:24:16,165 --> 00:24:19,501
- I won that game today.
- You tanked the game today.
248
00:24:20,544 --> 00:24:25,215
You want me to tell you why?
Because your name's not Josh Exley.
249
00:24:25,299 --> 00:24:28,218
Josh Exley is a kid who disappeared
from Macon, Georgia,
250
00:24:28,302 --> 00:24:30,471
the same time you showed up in Roswell.
251
00:24:30,554 --> 00:24:31,889
I ain't been to Macon.
252
00:24:31,972 --> 00:24:34,475
When you got beaned,
you said you were from Macon.
253
00:24:34,558 --> 00:24:38,187
I also spoke tongues like I did
when I was a little boy in church.
254
00:24:38,270 --> 00:24:39,897
(speaks gibberish)
255
00:24:42,566 --> 00:24:44,735
I was joking, Arthur. Relax.
256
00:24:45,819 --> 00:24:51,742
I'm relaxed. You're hiding something. That's
why you don't dare get into the major leagues
257
00:24:51,825 --> 00:24:57,414
cos those sportswriters'd be digging around
and they'd find out what it is, right?
258
00:24:57,498 --> 00:25:03,045
So you tanked the game in front of those
scouts today, disappointing those kids.
259
00:25:03,128 --> 00:25:06,548
Disappointing your teammates.
Disappointing your race.
260
00:25:06,632 --> 00:25:09,510
Don't go talking about my race.
You know nothing.
261
00:25:09,593 --> 00:25:13,806
I know that liars come in all colours.
262
00:25:15,474 --> 00:25:19,561
You got a secret. Famous or not,
I'm gonna find out what it is.
263
00:25:19,645 --> 00:25:24,316
While you're out chasing secrets,
you make sure you chasing the right ones.
264
00:25:39,915 --> 00:25:41,959
(thud)
265
00:25:43,627 --> 00:25:45,713
(man grunts)
266
00:26:02,479 --> 00:26:04,523
Ex?
267
00:26:05,691 --> 00:26:07,776
(man grunts)
268
00:26:14,324 --> 00:26:16,326
(man grunts)
269
00:26:23,083 --> 00:26:25,169
(mumbling)
270
00:26:36,180 --> 00:26:38,182
- (gasps)
- (screams)
271
00:26:54,615 --> 00:26:56,700
(mumbles)
272
00:27:00,329 --> 00:27:01,872
(gasps)
273
00:27:07,795 --> 00:27:09,838
Oh... Oh, thank you.
274
00:27:09,922 --> 00:27:12,007
(gasps)
275
00:27:14,134 --> 00:27:19,014
This is ridiculous. You're supposed
to be a big bad policeman.
276
00:27:21,016 --> 00:27:25,270
Now hold up, Arthur. Now before
you go fainting again, listen to me.
277
00:27:25,395 --> 00:27:30,234
- It's me, Arthur. It's Ex.
- This is an interesting dream.
278
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,778
Wake up. Come on, Artie.
279
00:27:33,695 --> 00:27:37,491
Man, you ain't dreaming.
This is what I really look like.
280
00:27:37,574 --> 00:27:39,493
This is the real me.
281
00:27:41,495 --> 00:27:43,580
Ex?
282
00:27:48,252 --> 00:27:50,879
That's really you under there, Ex?
283
00:27:50,963 --> 00:27:54,508
- Ow!
- I ain't under anything, Arthur.
284
00:27:54,591 --> 00:27:58,178
I'm trying not to be insulted
by your reaction to my true face.
285
00:27:58,262 --> 00:28:02,057
Look, would it be easier if I looked like this?
286
00:28:06,687 --> 00:28:09,398
Would this be easier for you to handle?
287
00:28:15,529 --> 00:28:18,991
- No. That's even weirder.
- Bus leaves in five... Ooh.
288
00:28:21,702 --> 00:28:27,833
So why did you... leave your family
in, uh... in Georgia?
289
00:28:28,917 --> 00:28:33,338
- My people guard their privacy zealously.
- I can understand that.
290
00:28:33,463 --> 00:28:37,467
They don't like for us
to intermingle with your people.
291
00:28:37,551 --> 00:28:43,974
Their philosophy is we stick to ourselves,
you stick to yourselves, everybody's happy.
292
00:28:44,057 --> 00:28:47,686
- So what happened?
- You know what happened.
293
00:28:47,769 --> 00:28:50,480
You fell in love with an Earth woman.
294
00:28:52,524 --> 00:28:55,068
- What?
- No.
295
00:28:55,152 --> 00:28:57,487
- I saw a baseball game.
- Oh...
296
00:28:57,571 --> 00:29:00,741
There's something you gotta
understand about my race.
297
00:29:00,824 --> 00:29:05,495
We don't have a word for laughter.
We don't laugh.
298
00:29:05,579 --> 00:29:09,875
I don't know if you noticed in between
all that fainting you was doing...
299
00:29:09,958 --> 00:29:15,672
but we have very tiny mouths,
so no smiling even.
300
00:29:15,756 --> 00:29:19,927
But I tell you, when I saw
that baseball game being played,
301
00:29:20,010 --> 00:29:23,972
this laughterjust... just rolls up out of me.
302
00:29:24,973 --> 00:29:29,186
Know the sound the ball makes when
it hits the bat? It was like music to me.
303
00:29:29,269 --> 00:29:31,688
The smell of the grass, the leather mitt.
304
00:29:31,772 --> 00:29:36,860
The first unnecessary thing
I ever done in my life, and I fell in love.
305
00:29:36,944 --> 00:29:40,197
I didn't know the unnecessary
could feel so good.
306
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:45,827
You know, the game was meaningless,
but it seemed to mean everything to me.
307
00:29:45,911 --> 00:29:50,499
It was... useless but perfect.
308
00:29:51,083 --> 00:29:54,127
Yeah. Like... like a rose.
309
00:29:54,211 --> 00:29:58,757
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like a rose. Yeah.
See? You get it, Arthur. You're a fan.
310
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:04,763
Well, I tell you, from that moment on...
I just couldn't fix myself to go home.
311
00:30:06,306 --> 00:30:09,142
Come up here, Ex.
Let's hear that beautiful voice.
312
00:30:09,226 --> 00:30:12,729
6..together in that land
313
00:30:12,813 --> 00:30:16,733
6..We'll all be together in that land
314
00:30:17,234 --> 00:30:21,571
6..We'll all be together in that land
315
00:30:21,655 --> 00:30:26,159
- 6 Where I'm bound
- 6 Oh, Lord!
316
00:30:26,243 --> 00:30:30,038
6 We'll all be together in that land
317
00:30:30,372 --> 00:30:34,459
6 We'll all be together in that land
318
00:30:35,002 --> 00:30:37,337
6 We'll all be together...
319
00:30:37,421 --> 00:30:42,092
(man on TV) Gray Bus Lines.
You can go home again.
320
00:30:42,175 --> 00:30:45,429
(Mulder) A free-spirited alien
fell in love with baseball
321
00:30:45,554 --> 00:30:48,181
and ran away from
the other non-fun-having aliens
322
00:30:48,265 --> 00:30:51,268
and made himself black
to prevent him getting to the majors
323
00:30:51,393 --> 00:30:56,732
where his secret might be discovered
by press and public. You're also implying...
324
00:30:56,815 --> 00:31:01,611
You certainly have a knack for
turning chicken salad into chicken spit.
325
00:31:01,695 --> 00:31:05,282
You're also implying that
this alien has something to do
326
00:31:05,365 --> 00:31:09,036
with the famous Roswell UFO crash
of July '47, aren't you?
327
00:31:09,119 --> 00:31:12,372
You're just dying to connect
the dots, aren't you, son?
328
00:31:12,456 --> 00:31:18,086
Look, I gave you some wood, I asked you
for a cabinet, you build me a cathedral.
329
00:31:18,170 --> 00:31:20,756
I don't want a cathedral. I like where I live.
330
00:31:20,839 --> 00:31:26,845
I just want a place to put my TV.
Understand my drift?
331
00:31:28,889 --> 00:31:30,307
Drift it is, sir.
332
00:31:30,390 --> 00:31:34,603
Trust the tale, Agent MacGyver, not the teller.
333
00:31:34,686 --> 00:31:38,732
That which fascinates us
is, by definition, true.
334
00:31:38,815 --> 00:31:42,027
Speaking metaphorically, of course.
335
00:31:42,110 --> 00:31:44,696
So is Ex a man who is
metaphorically an alien?
336
00:31:44,821 --> 00:31:46,823
An alien who is metaphorically a man?
337
00:31:46,907 --> 00:31:51,745
Or a something in between that
was literally an alien-human hybrid?
338
00:31:59,753 --> 00:32:03,340
It's official. I am a horse's ass.
339
00:32:04,925 --> 00:32:09,262
What is it to be human, Fox?
Is it to have the chemistry of a man?
340
00:32:09,346 --> 00:32:11,431
In the universal scheme of things,
341
00:32:11,515 --> 00:32:15,060
a dog's chemistry is nearly
identical to that of a man.
342
00:32:15,143 --> 00:32:17,270
But is a dog like a man?
343
00:32:17,354 --> 00:32:22,484
(Mulder) I've noticed that, over time, a man
and his dog will start to look like one another.
344
00:32:22,567 --> 00:32:28,198
(Dales) To be a man is to have the heart
of a man. Integrity, decency, sympathy.
345
00:32:28,281 --> 00:32:32,536
These are the things that make a man
a man. And Ex had them all.
346
00:32:32,661 --> 00:32:35,914
Had them all more than you or I.
347
00:32:48,051 --> 00:32:50,178
- (phone rings)
- Dales.
348
00:32:50,262 --> 00:32:51,763
' (mumbling)
" Ted?
349
00:32:51,888 --> 00:32:53,723
Calm down. What is it?
350
00:32:53,807 --> 00:32:56,893
This goo on the glove you gave me.
Is this a joke?
351
00:32:56,977 --> 00:32:58,228
Why?
352
00:32:58,311 --> 00:33:00,730
It's not like
any chemical compound I've seen.
353
00:33:00,814 --> 00:33:05,861
It's from a life form which doesn't seem to be
carbon based, which by the way is impossible.
354
00:33:05,944 --> 00:33:10,866
This is way out of my league. I called the FBI
and the Communicable Disease Center.
355
00:33:10,949 --> 00:33:13,994
Oh, no, Ted, you didn't.
Nobody was supposed to know.
356
00:33:14,077 --> 00:33:18,123
- Can you get the glove back to me?
- Sure. As soon as I finish up here.
357
00:33:29,718 --> 00:33:32,095
I didn't mean to startle you. I'm Josh.
358
00:33:32,179 --> 00:33:35,515
I know who you are. Only the best
ball player west of the Bronx.
359
00:33:35,599 --> 00:33:40,520
Thank you. Arthur sent me here to explain
the substance. That's my mitt it ruined.
360
00:33:40,604 --> 00:33:42,731
Where is this stuff from?
361
00:33:42,814 --> 00:33:43,857
Mars.
362
00:33:45,775 --> 00:33:48,528
Actually just to the left of Mars.
363
00:33:50,363 --> 00:33:53,074
What do you think you're doing?!
364
00:34:16,848 --> 00:34:18,141
Ex.
365
00:34:19,601 --> 00:34:22,812
A fella at the precinct
is willing to swear on his life
366
00:34:22,896 --> 00:34:25,565
that you killed a man this afternoon.
367
00:34:25,649 --> 00:34:31,112
Now I'm not sure what's going on here.
But I... I do know that you're no murderer.
368
00:34:31,196 --> 00:34:33,990
You're gonna have to get out of town, Ex.
369
00:34:49,381 --> 00:34:53,343
- Life ain't like baseball, is it?
- No. No, it's not.
370
00:34:55,053 --> 00:34:58,390
I had a talk with my relative. A good talk.
371
00:34:58,473 --> 00:35:03,061
He made me understand reason, Arthur.
Family's more important than a game.
372
00:35:03,144 --> 00:35:05,438
So... I gotta go home.
373
00:35:05,522 --> 00:35:08,525
You still consider them to be your family?
374
00:35:08,650 --> 00:35:11,194
Of course I do. Who you think my family is?
375
00:35:12,237 --> 00:35:14,322
I don't know. Your team?
376
00:35:15,156 --> 00:35:20,078
Next thing you're gonna tell me is I owe it
to the kids to break the home-run record.
377
00:35:20,161 --> 00:35:23,623
Or I owe it to the black folks
to make it to the majors.
378
00:35:23,707 --> 00:35:27,168
Or I should keep playing out of
some meaningless human concept
379
00:35:27,252 --> 00:35:29,713
of pride or loyalty.
380
00:35:30,755 --> 00:35:33,967
- I don't know, Ex.
- We don't think like that, man.
381
00:35:34,926 --> 00:35:39,055
We may be able to look like y'all,
but we ain't y'all.
382
00:35:39,139 --> 00:35:43,059
- Know the big thing that separates us?
- What's that?
383
00:35:43,143 --> 00:35:45,687
We got rhythm.
384
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,487
(siren in distance)
385
00:36:00,785 --> 00:36:02,871
- I better go.
- Yeah.
386
00:36:02,954 --> 00:36:05,498
Hey, will you do me a favour?
387
00:36:06,333 --> 00:36:10,420
Will you tell people what I did on the field?
388
00:36:10,503 --> 00:36:14,215
- Will you tell your kids how I played?
- You know I will, Ex.
389
00:36:16,009 --> 00:36:19,512
Hey, man, uh... one more thing.
390
00:36:19,596 --> 00:36:21,890
What?
391
00:36:22,974 --> 00:36:25,894
You got a pretty good arm on you, boy.
392
00:36:32,317 --> 00:36:34,402
(Siren)
393
00:36:37,739 --> 00:36:41,117
You may think you know the man
but, believe me, you do not.
394
00:36:41,201 --> 00:36:44,913
You don't know what I know.
And you don't know what I don't know.
395
00:36:44,996 --> 00:36:47,957
This is no minor-league
New Mexico cowboy cop crap.
396
00:36:48,041 --> 00:36:52,045
If I told you what was really going on,
you'd stare at me in wild-eyed wonder
397
00:36:52,128 --> 00:36:54,714
and pee your pants like a baby.
398
00:36:54,798 --> 00:36:57,008
Tell me what I wanna know. Where's Exley?
399
00:36:57,133 --> 00:36:59,719
I told you. He told me he was going home.
400
00:36:59,803 --> 00:37:01,971
(umpire) Play ball!
401
00:37:02,055 --> 00:37:06,476
You sure your boy got the right
prescription in those spectacles?
402
00:37:10,438 --> 00:37:12,065
(Umpire) Home rum!
403
00:37:12,565 --> 00:37:14,859
A witness puts him at the murder scene.
404
00:37:14,984 --> 00:37:19,656
Now I know they look alike, but unless
he's got a guy running around looks identical,
405
00:37:19,739 --> 00:37:22,158
he is a murderer, you could be an accomplice,
406
00:37:22,242 --> 00:37:26,788
and the two of you are sliding down a giant
razor blade into a big old glass of lemonade.
407
00:37:34,754 --> 00:37:41,136
But you hand him over... you can wear your
big hat and pretty badge as long as you want.
408
00:37:41,219 --> 00:37:43,179
Are we finished?
409
00:37:44,889 --> 00:37:48,518
No, Mr Dales. You're finished.
410
00:38:10,123 --> 00:38:12,125
Home.
411
00:38:14,294 --> 00:38:16,087
God.
412
00:38:31,478 --> 00:38:33,563
Come on.
413
00:38:41,613 --> 00:38:43,573
It's over.
414
00:38:44,824 --> 00:38:48,369
- I know.
- I warned you. You didn't listen.
415
00:38:53,750 --> 00:38:54,959
Now you die.
416
00:38:57,921 --> 00:38:59,839
It's the right thing to do.
417
00:38:59,923 --> 00:39:02,383
What do you know of the right thing to do?
418
00:39:02,467 --> 00:39:06,513
You who would risk exposing
the entire project for a game?
419
00:39:06,596 --> 00:39:08,681
A game.
420
00:39:09,349 --> 00:39:13,061
- I hit a home run tonight.
- A home run?
421
00:39:13,603 --> 00:39:17,315
Number 61. I set a record.
422
00:39:17,398 --> 00:39:20,443
Show me your true face
so you can die with dignity.
423
00:39:23,571 --> 00:39:28,201
As your executioner, I show you
my true face before I kill you.
424
00:39:39,963 --> 00:39:45,343
Show me your true face
or you will die without honour.
425
00:39:48,805 --> 00:39:51,140
This is my true face.
426
00:39:51,224 --> 00:39:52,350
So be it.
427
00:39:58,690 --> 00:40:00,942
No! Stop!
428
00:40:05,154 --> 00:40:07,156
Ex!
429
00:40:08,741 --> 00:40:11,661
No! Let me be! Let me be!
430
00:40:15,999 --> 00:40:19,419
Arthur, get off of me.
Our blood is like acid to you people.
431
00:40:19,502 --> 00:40:22,046
Arthur, get away. Don't touch it.
432
00:40:22,171 --> 00:40:26,009
It's just blood, Ex. Look. It's just blood.
433
00:40:32,432 --> 00:40:33,975
Wow.
434
00:40:55,872 --> 00:41:00,001
(baseball players)
6 Come and go with me to that land
435
00:41:00,585 --> 00:41:04,714
6 Come and go with me to that land
436
00:41:05,214 --> 00:41:09,802
6 Come and go with me to that land
437
00:41:09,886 --> 00:41:13,806
6 Where I'm bound
438
00:41:13,890 --> 00:41:17,894
6 I got a brother in that land
439
00:41:18,394 --> 00:41:22,273
6 I got a brother in that land
440
00:41:22,774 --> 00:41:27,320
6 I got a brother in that land
441
00:41:27,403 --> 00:41:31,741
6 Where I'm bound, where I'm bound
442
00:41:31,824 --> 00:41:35,745
6 I got a brother in that land
443
00:41:36,245 --> 00:41:39,290
6 I got a brother in that land
444
00:41:41,292 --> 00:41:45,088
6 I got a brother in that land
445
00:41:45,213 --> 00:41:47,632
6 Where I'm bound
446
00:41:49,759 --> 00:41:51,886
(baseball players humming)
447
00:41:57,225 --> 00:42:03,064
So, uh, I get this message marked "urgent"
448
00:42:03,147 --> 00:42:06,401
on my answering service
from one Fox Mantle,
449
00:42:06,484 --> 00:42:10,154
telling me to come down to the park
for a very special,
450
00:42:10,279 --> 00:42:14,367
very early or very late birthday present.
451
00:42:14,450 --> 00:42:20,123
And Mulder... I don't see any nicely wrapped
presents lying around, so what gives?
452
00:42:21,165 --> 00:42:25,294
- You've never hit a baseball, have you?
- No. I guess I have, uh...
453
00:42:25,378 --> 00:42:29,882
found more necessary things
to do with my time than...
454
00:42:29,966 --> 00:42:33,136
slap a piece of horsehide with a stick.
455
00:42:34,262 --> 00:42:35,596
Get over here.
456
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:39,726
(baseball players) 6 I got a sister in that
457
00:42:39,809 --> 00:42:44,188
6 Where I'm bound, where I'm bound
458
00:42:44,313 --> 00:42:46,441
6 I got a sister...
459
00:42:46,524 --> 00:42:50,653
Is this my birthday present, Mulder?
You shouldn't have.
460
00:42:50,737 --> 00:42:56,200
This ain't cheap. I'm paying that kid
ten bucks an hour to shag balls.
461
00:42:57,285 --> 00:43:00,204
It's not a bad piece of ash, huh?
462
00:43:00,329 --> 00:43:02,707
The bat. I'm talking about the bat.
463
00:43:02,790 --> 00:43:06,335
Don't strangle it. You wanna
shake hands with it. Hello, Mr Bat.
464
00:43:06,419 --> 00:43:11,340
It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
No, Miss Scully. The pleasure's all mine.
465
00:43:11,424 --> 00:43:14,886
OK, now we wanna...
we wanna go hips before hands, OK?
466
00:43:14,969 --> 00:43:18,473
We wanna stride forward and turn.
That's what we're thinking.
467
00:43:18,556 --> 00:43:21,851
- So we go hips... before hands. All right?
- OK.
468
00:43:21,934 --> 00:43:25,313
One more time. Hips before hands.
469
00:43:25,396 --> 00:43:28,483
- All right? What is it?
- Hips before hands.
470
00:43:28,566 --> 00:43:32,737
We're gonna keep our eye on the ball
and then we're just gonna make contact.
471
00:43:32,820 --> 00:43:36,699
We're not gonna think.
We're just gonna let it fly, Scullly, OK?
472
00:43:38,034 --> 00:43:41,037
- Ready?
- I'm in the middle.
473
00:43:42,371 --> 00:43:44,791
All right, fire away, Poorboy.
474
00:43:45,041 --> 00:43:46,083
Ooh!
475
00:43:46,167 --> 00:43:52,173
That's good. What you may find, as you're
concentrating on hitting that little ball...
476
00:43:52,256 --> 00:43:56,052
the rest of the world fades away.
Your everyday nagging concerns.
477
00:43:56,135 --> 00:43:58,179
The ticking of your biological clock.
478
00:43:58,262 --> 00:44:02,683
How you probably couldn't afford that
nice new suede coat on a G-woman's salary.
479
00:44:02,767 --> 00:44:05,853
How you threw away
a promising career in medicine
480
00:44:05,937 --> 00:44:10,066
to hunt aliens with your crackpot,
albeit brilliant, partner.
481
00:44:10,149 --> 00:44:13,069
Getting to the heart of a global conspiracy.
482
00:44:13,861 --> 00:44:16,989
Your obscenely overdue triple-X bill.
483
00:44:17,073 --> 00:44:21,077
Oh, I'm sorry, Scully. Those last
two problems are mine, not yours.
484
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:24,080
Shut up, Mulder. I'm playing baseball.
485
00:44:24,997 --> 00:44:29,585
(baseball players)
6 Where I'm bound, where I'm bound
486
00:44:29,669 --> 00:44:33,297
6 Come and go with me to that land
487
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:38,177
