The X Files Oubliette By Charlie Craig

In the text, “The X Files Oubliette”, written by Charlie Craig, an important scene is when Scully finds out Amy’s blood was on Lucy’s uniform when she collapsed at work. Scully says to Agent Mulder, “ We’re not talking about the local population. We’re talking about a woman who is tied to this case who has somebody else’s blood on their uniform.” This shows the audience that she questions whether Lucy is the kidnapper and states that she is the closest evidence tied to the case. After Mulder tries to convince her that Lucy is only a victim in this incident, since she once went through the same kidnapping trauma when she was a child, Scully says, “I’m running a PCR on her blood to see if there’s a DNA match.”, the pronoun “I’m”, shows the viewers that they are each investigating individually and not as a team.
Conflict between the partners occur because they are two entirely different people; Mulder using a more cognitive style of thinking and believing in the supernatural whereas Scully focuses more on the logical aspect believing in science. Throughout the beginning of the investigation there is no connection between Scully and Mulder, they have just been assigned to each other on the case and are very distant. When the FBI agents began to improve on the case and find a lead, they were taken to the scene where Amy was held captive. Through Amy’s abduction Mulder and Scully were forced to come together to save the life of a girl despite their differences. This shows the audience how much society values the life of a human being. In the end of the film, Scully and Mulder work together to save Amy Jacob’s from the hands of Carl
