The X-Files - Redux II - The Hearing

In my opinion, one of the most well written and executed scenes in The X-File's series.
Mulder is summoned before a committee with Sanction Chief Blevins, as well as A.D. Skinner and several other Bureau officials. When questioned about his falsified death, Mulder begins to explain himself, but not without bringing to light the unjust men who have been working in the shadows against him and Scully.

I felt so bad for Skinner the whole time cause you could tell he thought Mulder was gonna call him out.

[@Derrick2shot]

I even thought that he was!

[@kermitbohlen8401]

To be fair, Skinner WAS a member/tool/pawn of the conspiracy throughout most of the series - the fact that he somehow got away with playing both sides and balancing that razors-edge of staying IN the game without ever totally committing TO the game was both an impressive feat of storytelling and a raging contrivance of storytelling all at the same time - :) one that I loved right through the moment he put a bullet in Krycek's brain...

[@jimifender22]

One of the best scenes in the whole series. Been binge watching this for the past few weeks on Netflix. Everytime I re watch the series I realize I somehow forgot how great this show really is.

[@idlt4]

The look on Mulder's face at the end: "Mic drop"

[@woollett182]

One of the greatest x files scenes!! A pivotal point in the series

[@depp0000000000]

fav scene in series mulders look at end "how bout them apples?'

[@MrChrispy777]

I wish the clip had lasted long enough, to see Blevins shot.

[@danielborges69]

How did Mulder knew it was Chief Blevins?

[@lami7904]

He didn't. He just guessed. It was just his idea after the previous meeting with Blevins.

[@ryanclark7962]

​@@lami7904they told Mulder to pin it on Skinner but Mulder knew Skinner didn't do it because he's risked his life for Mulder. So he knew or guessed it was Blevins.

[@futurestoryteller]

Unfortunately it's not displayed that way on Netflix =\

[@antonialima1956]

The world needs more Mulders and Scullys. ✊✊

[@arwenmccaffrey]

Arguably one of the absolute best scenes in the entire show. Goosebumps every damn time.

[@Boneripper16]

Yes! Every time

[@6hypnone]

And the scene right after this too! Jaw DROPPED

[@carladuizit5018]

I agree! This was the peak of the series , in my opinion!

[@AnimaCasciavit]

The greatest show in the f******** history.

[@xfilesfan01]

One of the most intense scenes in the show by far. Chris Carter is a genius. It's impossible to get enough of this show... it never gets old.

[@thelonerider5644]

This is one of the best confrontations ever. MIss the REAL Xfiles (not season ten yuck)

[@inazumafreak1439]

Yeah season 10 was...ooof....

[@fadedneverland6091]

Season 11 was decent though. Mythos eps were as flawed as usual, but the rest was solid. Great Mulder/Scully dynamic and the love between them is as strong and moving as ever.

[@Kakashi-san]

@@inazumafreak1439 Season 10 was an accident

[@moshodi100]

@Ricardo B. i absolutely agree. The times we live in now are so different.

[@davidgraham8299]

I liked the stand alone episodes in season 10

[@theconfusedphilosopher4724]

Loved the X-Files, however I feel like it was a grave mistake to kill off the Syndicate in Season 6; the series never felt the same without the mystery men always popping up in the background.

[@Howyaduing]

They could've brought a new group with the CSM as the new leader

[@charlieredmond7805]

I'll be honest seasons 6 through 10 were just awful

[@GrainneMhaol]

Yeah, I feel like killing them should have been the end.

[@doct0rnic]

Totally agree

[@cyrusgoodspeed8789]

This was the pinnacle height of x files

[@Edbrad]

Sigh. Back when X-Files was good. The first episode of Season 10 is an insult to their previous work. What a shame. At least they did do good work before.

[@rochey1010]

saber wolfe yeah and i love how this is the very bastard who assigned scully to work with mulder in the pilot episode, poetic justice i say.

[@tigran1993]

And that kind of conspiracy is happening today.

I love this scene, the music, the editing, the acting. It's such an amazing sequence. One of the best in the whole series.

Amazing Scene, all acts, perfect, 100%. If the world would be like Mulder. Si el mundo sería igual a Mulder.

[@cyrusgoodspeed8789]

I love skinners head gestures

[@ChooseHumanityOverCruelty]

Best episode of the series definitely. I mean, I love all of the episodes, but as you said it, the way this whole sequence of events was executed was perfect. I can never get tired of watching this!!

[@ElementBlack100]

i really love the music here as it continues to build up. makes this scene that much better

This episode is the highpoint of the series!

He really is! 💜

[@DinaraTengri]

Brilliant. This is my favorite scene on the X Files. I was sitting at the endge of my chair when i watched it the first time. It's so intense.

[@Muldfeld]

Stretch it to the absolute end, and you have a winner. The scene with Mulder crying with mixed emotions over his father's death and loss of contact of his sister is so deeply moving. I must have watched it 100 times.

[@carolynjanesutton4932]

I think David Duchovny's acting is really underrated. He's just too subtle for some people to get it.

[@kermitbohlen8401]

I love David Duchovny, but at least throughout the X-files - the worst on-screen cryer I've ever seen. I love watching him rage against bureaucracy, I love watching his tenderness with scully, I love watching his self-deprecating investigations of the paranormal - but when he tries to cry...shudder....

[@Muldfeld]

​@@kermitbohlen8401 Well, we all have our own opinions. I completely disagree with you

20 years later and they just couldn't top the cinematography of the original series

[@woollett182]

Only agent mulder would go up against the heads of the FBI 😂😂

[@merledixon4827]

The scene following this is also perfect, along with this! The assassination of CSM and Blevins! Was glad to see CSM live and come back later on. The music and everything made the end of this episode perfect

[@carlyphilpott269]

just one of many reasons why this is my ultimate favorite episode

[@plasmametroid]

Good thing she prayed those ten 'Hail Mulders' ;)

[@oldschoolrr6077]

One of the classic scenes, in the entire show. The looks on the faces of "The Third Man", Blevins, Skinner and Mulder were perfect. Especially the panicked look on Blevins face, as Mulder names him. Wish the Blevins assassination and Mulder and Skinner talking in the hospital, were included in this segment.

[@deanladue3151]

Also in that scene, The Cigarette Smoking Man was shot by a Syndicate hit man as well as Blevins being shot. Very powerful scenes as we're watching whoever's behind it covering up their tracks in real time. Powerful scenes indeed.

[@oldschoolrr6077]

@@deanladue3151 - Oh yeah. With "The Third Man" shooting Blevins in Blevins Office, then planting the gun to make it look like a suicide was brilliant. The guy playing the "Third Man" got his name from the Pilot Episode, where Scully receives her new assignment from Blevins, and we see CSM for the first time. The guy got the moniker "The Third Man" because he was never identified in the Pilot Episode credits.

David Duchovny told the producers to end the series after s5 and make a few movies instead. They should have listened to him.

Season 7 was when the story was coming to its natural end. But alas, FOXs network greed saw to it that the show overstayed its welcome.

Skinner: _"How did you know it was him?"_ Mulder: _"It was a hunch"_ Skinner: _"Seriously, f*** you Agent Mulder."_

[@ryanclark7962]

Tbf Skinner has protected Mulder throughout the whole series so Mulder knew he didn't do anything. So when Blevins asked him to lie about Skinner he guessed Blevins was the one.

Да в этот момент сказал: борется своей жизнью, да рак е заходит далеко и же 4-4 стадию, она может умереть рано или поздно это произойдёт Наде, что его услышит, он хочет сделать. Микрочип, который разработанные в этой же лаборатории редукс, почему именно так и называется это разработка микро, надеюсь, что эта штучка ей поможет жить? Вот в 4 степени уже 4 стадия. Смерть неминуемая для неё будетидер не успеет это всё сделать, не успеет найти этого профессора, который так к этому стремится. Ну, в надежде то, что это произошло, и всё-таки микрочип ей сделали туда, в организм ввели. И она потихоньку стала выздоравливать. А так она борется жизнью, да? Батюшка, на ней там показывает, что он пытается, чтобы она всё-таки. Спокойным миром ушла. Вот такая история, может, даже молитву читает. Мне тоже было жалко её, когда я смотрела, это всё было жалко её. Я думал, что конец ей конец придёт, мне было жалко, как она бедненькая мучилась. Постоянное кровотечение из носа бедненькая, как ей тяжело. Но бедненькая, с трудом это всё переносило с трудом всю эту жизнь. После этого похищения.

Здесь рассказывается про. То, что. Они надеяться, сделать то, что думают сделать. Они надеются про лабораторию редукс, почему редуксы называется это лаборатория создают? Создают эмбрионы. Вот этот редукс, как раз это мой любимый сезон, и здесь именно об этом рассказывается в надежде, что. Это произойдёт. Надежде, что они изготовят эмбрионы, о котором. С каей будет мечтать всю жизнь. И модерн против этого. А наоборот, против выступает из синдикат, об этом думает. А надо против этого, это же будет, как это для скали, будет очень тяжело, это вынести этого эмбриона готова. А они хотят это сделать то, что им это очень нужно, и важно это важная миссия. Вот и всё это важная миссия. В этом замешаны все и + ещё эспандер замешан здесь, который здесь пока не показывает, но он тоже в этом замешан. Он в 1 очередь хотел этого ребёнка. А что для него это была жизнь? Который именно его сын, он умер. Его убили. Фильм Сэм. А вот такая вот жизнь была. Я так мечтала на этом номере ребёнка и хотелось его. Вот об этом-то и почти речь идёт, но ещё здесь они это не разглашено, они только об этом думают пока. Возглашение этого не было.

[@taylorcostello4129]

The best part was Mulder's gambit was a bluff - he guessed that Blevins was a mole and he was right!

[@ryanclark7962]

I think he actually knew but pretended he guessed. I think the moment Mulder realised Blevins was a mole was when he asked Mulder to name Skinner at the hearing, Mulder realised that Blevins was trying to protect himself.

They wanted to make the most out of the 100th episode, and they succeeded. The reason Mulder picked Blevin was probably because he was dismissive when Mulder asked for proof that Skinner was behind all this

@DaveyC95 so do i.. i think we're in the minority though haha

They don't explain how Mulder knew it was Chief Blevins.

[@jondavis2790]

+The Enygma One hell of a guess.

[@DinaraTengri]

+Daniel Louro I think Mulder knew when the section chief tried to manipulate him earlier in the episode. He said something like, "Blame everything on Skinner and I'll let you off the hook." I think Mulder put two and two together.

[@stephencurry5728]

FBI Special Agent Fox William Mulder is a fictional character in the Fox science fiction-supernatural television series The X-Files, played by David Duchovny. Mulder's peers consider his (often correct) theories on extraterrestrial activity as spooky and far-fetched. With his FBI partner Dana Scully, he works in the X-Files office, which is concerned with cases with particularly mysterious or possibly paranormal circumstances that were left unsolved and shelved by the FBI. Mulder was a main character for the first seven seasons, but was limited to a recurring character for the following two seasons. He returns as a main character for the tenth and eleventh seasons. Mulder made his first appearance in the first season pilot episode, broadcast in 1993. Mulder believes in extraterrestrial unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and a government conspiracy to hide or deny the truth of their existence. Mulder considers the X-Files

[@h4lflif360]

So what happened to section chief?

[@babalarassrah]

killed lol

[@oldschoolrr6077]

It should have been part of the clip, but "The Third Man" is in Blevins Office, on the telephone, when Blevins rushes in, in a panic, after Mulder names him. As Blevins runs to his desk, "The Third Man'" stands up and pulls a gun with a silencer from his pocket and kills Blevins. He then wipes his fingerprints off the gun and plants it in Blevins hand, making it look like a suicide.
