Mulder: Hey, listen Scully, I need to know how this happened. I want you to start documenting everything you can get your hands on. People have to know about the cover-up.
Scully: The public?
Mulder: It's a public health crisis.
Scully: Mulder, we can't leak this. Not until we know more. The futigive that you're looking for, he might not even be infected.
Mulder: Yeah, but what if he is?
Scully: If this gets out prematurely, the panic is gonna spread faster than the contagion. Mulder, we can't let this be known.
Mulder: What if someone dies because we withheld what we knew?
Scully: What if someone dies because we didn't? There'll be a time for the truth, Mulder, but this isn't it.

MISTAKES/GOOFS

FAKE: Right at the start, the field scientist puts on a pair of gloves to inspect the dead animal. His hands are reflected in his glasses but the reflection is not inverted as it should be. The thumbs and fingers on both hands should point downwards, not upwards.
CONT: When Scully is investigating one of the boils on the infected prisoner her mask is around her neck, after she pulls the bug out and the camera pans back out her mask is on her face, but you never seen her actually pull it up.
CHAR: The medics wearing the full isolation suits and green gloves measure the boils and say that they are uniformly 5cm in size. Using his thumbs as reference it can be seen that the calipers are open about two thumb widths - less than 4cm.
