FADE IN:

INT. MULDER & KRYCEK’S APT. – MORNING

It’s a bright and sunny Saturday morning. Mulder and Krycek are watching a cartoon… “The Smurfs”. They sit on the couch eating cereal. Mulder has “Cheerios” and Krycek has “Lucky Charms”. Both are wearing “Smurfs” and “Heman” pajamas.

Mulder swallows his food.

They continue to watch “The Smurfs”. There is a beat of silence between them… we only hear “The Smurfs”… then they laugh.

Moments later, the phone rings.

Mulder thinks…

The line goes dead. Mulder hangs up.

Mulder walks back into the living room and plops back down next to Krycek. Krycek looks at Mulder waiting for an answer. Mulder laughs at “The Smurfs”.

INT. LA FLEUR RESTAURANT – EVENING

Mulder and Krycek enter the restaurant. They actually got dressed up. Spender is already there waiting with Mulder and Krycek’s blind dates.

Spender turns around and motions for them to come over. He has a big smile on his face.

Mulder grabs Spender away and takes him out of earshot of them all. Krycek follows.

Mulder whacks Krycek over the head.

Spender has no clue what they are talking about.

They both have easily forgotten everything.

They both burst out laughing hysterically. Spender is watching them back and forth.

Mulder and Krycek abruptly stop laughing and look over at Spender.

Mulder and Krycek look to one another.

They start to walk off.

The two girls stand there with their arms crossed. Angela is tapping her foot impatiently… Farrah is playing with the gum in her mouth. Spender panics.

Krycek smiles.

Krycek pulls Mulder away… they face away from Spender.

They start to turn away.

Krycek whacks Mulder over the head.

Mulder shrugs, he doesn’t know… he just said a number.

TIME CUT TO:

INT. LA FLEUR RESTAURANT – LATER THAT EVENING

Mulder and Krycek sit opposite of Farrah and Angela. The two girls are talking away.

He pulls out some pills from his coat pocket. The girls continue to talk…

Krycek signals a waiter.

The waiter leaves.

They giggle.

Krycek stands up.

He gets up. They leave the table.

They giggle.

CUT TO:

INT. MEN’S RESTROOM

Krycek and Mulder burst in the room. Krycek looks panicked… while Mulder seems out of it.

Krycek looks to the very small window that no one but Eugene Victor Tooms could fit through.

He whacks Mulder on the head.

Mulder yawns, looks around and finds a seat. He sits. Krycek continues to look for a way out. He turns around and sees Mulder.

Mulder slowly lifts his head… as if he has no energy.

Mulder twitches.

Krycek walks over to Mulder and shakes him.

Krycek is pacing the bathroom… Mulder is now fast asleep on the ground.

Langly laughs through the phone.

INT. LA FLEUR RESTAURANT – ENTRANCE – LATER THAT EVENING

Three oddly dressed men walk through the door… The Lone Gunmen have arrived. Each of them are wearing goofy hats and trench coats. They approach the Reservation Man.

Frohike looks around before answering.

Glen shrugs it off.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLWAY OUTSIDE OF RESTROOMS

The Lone Gunmen knock on the door of the men’s room. Krycek opens the door in a panic. He looks around.

Krycek quickly grabs them in.

INT. RESTROOM

Mulder still lies on the ground sleeping. The Gunmen look down at him.

The Lone Gunmen look to Krycek.

Byers finishes pouring the substance into Mulder mouth. He stands up. They all wait for any kind of response from Mulder. A beat passes before:

Byers looks at them.

He holds out his hand. Byers puts the vile in his hand. Krycek read the label. After a beat, he looks back to Byers… he seems pissed.

He starts to pace the room… mumbling something in Russian. The Gunmen stand there thinking what to do next… though Byers seems more afraid.

Krycek stops pacing and looks towards him.

TIME CUT TO:

INT. RESTAURANT

The Magazine Girls are still sitting at their table.

Krycek gives her an odd look.

The Magazine Girls look disappointed.

Off their looks…

TIME CUT TO:

INT. HALLWAY OUTSIDE MULDER & KRYCEK’S APT

The Lone Gunmen are helping Krycek carry Mulder into the apartment.

Frohike opens the door for them

INT. MULDER’S SIDE OF THE APT.

Byers and Krycek drop Mulder to the ground. They take deep breaths.

A phone rings.

He slams the phone down. Off his look…

FADE OUT:

THE END.
