I think there is an extra layer of this scene that most people never realized. The episode starts with Scully narrating a scene ..a scene of her dreams or more like nightmares. She talkes about the loneliness/empitness as she walkes through a desert in the night but at the end she finds her neclace with the cross in the sand ..she lifts it up and looks at it with deep emotions as she finishes the narration talking about being alone ..then she turns into dust and fades away in the wind. But if you combine the ending of the episode - if you pay close attention you can see sand in the coffin and the cross lays on it just like in her dream - then the dream sequence can be interpreted as a sign and her realization that whatever happened to Emily and whatever will happen to her there is a higher power beyond those earthly things once their bodies turn to dust. I'd like to think this was a kind of sign to strenghten her faith. Some episodes pretty much confirmed that there is a God in this movie Universe. The only issues is that Scully suppose to be immortal xD based on 2 episodes :D
At 4:00 , does anybody else get the feeling that Mulder knows Emily isn't in the coffin? He was just talking about how they had cleaned up the nursing home and there was no evidence left. He knows them, what they do. He's sad and angry. He turns around, just like when he had to tell his father that he'd lost Samantha in season 2, too afraid/ashamed to face his dad. When he turns back around to face Scully, he isn't surprised. Gillian's performance was amazing in this 2-parter. I just wish we had seen her process her grief more in the following episodes.
I think he kind of expected the body of Emily to not be in the coffin. After what he tells Scully about the nursing home and what happened there maybe he felt that Emily’s body was also gone as well. But who took her body away and why?
So many kids died in x files: emily, samantha, luke dogget, teddy in the calusari, addy sparks and many blond girls in paper hearts, amber-lynn and other kids in closure, billy in invocation, andrew and emily in familiar ...
I might need to skip this one when I get up to it again; my best friend’s name was Emily and she died what will be 6 years ago this October. I don’t know why I looked this up…it hurt.
Bruh this whole thing w Emily is so fcking sad like she just wanted to be a mom. Why introduce this child to her just to kill her off in the end ??😭😭😭😭😭
Scully asked out loud "What sort of monster creates a child whose only purpose is to die?" This episode left me feeling enraged because they wouldn't even give Scully a chance to grieve. They took the body before the funeral because they didn't want any evidence left behind. That's all Emily was to them: a lab rat. And what's horrifying is that there are monsters like them in power today like Anthony Fauci.
I like how the music changes when Mulder comes in!
The music in this touching scene is extremely beautiful. Thank you, Mark Snow.
One of the saddest scene in the whole series. 😭

They both have genuine compassion respect empathy

I believe so, he was always one jump ahead of everyone else in his thought process.

All those kids in Zero Sum. That definitely showed the Syndicate at their most evil.
In real life kids die, Carter didn’t want to fabricate his stories based on truth
Here comes her ray of light.
2:14
That scene nearly broke my heart when I first watched this episode. Very melancholy
Damn Mulder was holding back his tears
I think Mulder knew...you can see it in his expression as he turned around.

Как её жалко😊

drama
Yeah man this is a brutal story to put Scully through. How do you even come back from this?
