2х08 One Breath, Один вздох Опции

[Виктория]

Сценарий: Глен Морган и Джеймс Вонг
Режиссер: Р. В. Гудвин
Первый показ в США: 11 ноября 1994

Название эпизода - фраза, сказанная капитаном Скалли дочери, когда та лежала в коме.
Предложение Лэнгли "слазить в Интернет и поискать научные несообразности в сериале "Земля-2" - салют от авторов сериала его дотошным фанатам.
Прототипом Мыслителя (упомянутого в этом эпизоде и увиденного позже в "Anasazi") стал один из самых страстных фанатов сериала и член America Online Янг Джан Ким (также известный как 'Duhthinker').
Сестра Оуэнс названа так по имени любимой бабушки Глена Моргана.
Отец Скалли был капитаном, но когда он пришел к ней в серии, то на нем была форма Адмирала.
Глен Морган сказал своей матери, что если он умрет раньше, то она должна показать его детям эту сцену с отцом Скалли.

Фрагменты оригинального сценария:

Когда камера в самом начале серии показывает нам квартиру Малдера, мы видим на его столе полупустую бутылку водки.
Когда Малдер заходит в первый раз в палату Скалли, в сценарии этот момент описан как: «Малдер задыхается от эмоциональной агонии».
Когда Малдер в ярости выбегает из палаты и набрасывается на врача с вопросами «Кто это с ней сделал!?», камера показывает нам сердечный монитор, к которому присоединена Скалли, и когда Малдер кричит: «Я выясню, что они сделали с ней!!», мы видим, как линия на мониторе подскакивает.
Когда Малдер и Мелисса первый раз встречаются, она говорит Малдеру, что Дана много рассказывала о нем.
Когда Малдер раздражается и убирает руку (сцена, где Мелисса держала руки над телом Скалли, утверждая, что они могут почувствовать ее), Мелисса говорит ему вслед: «Ты нужен ей!»
Когда медсестра Оуэнс разговаривает со Скалли и убеждает ее вернуться, она произносит следующую фразу: «Здесь много людей, которые любят тебя», при этом она со знающей улыбкой смотрит на Малдера, который входит в палату Скалли.
Когда со Скалли разговаривает ее отец, он говорит: «Они нуждаются в тебе. Твоя мать. Твой друг», нам снова показывают сердечный монитор, и линия снова дергается.
В конце серии, когда Скалли говорит: «У меня есть сила твоей веры» (в сценарии слово «твоей» подчеркнуто несколько раз), состояние Малдер описано следующим образом – «Малдер буквально сбит с ног этой фразой, но он не показывает вида, что это так».
По сценарию Малдер не должен был плакать, он должен был просто съехать по стене, но Дэвид решил, что Малдер должен заплакать в этой сцене, и они так и сделали.
В оригинальном сценарии Малдер дарит Скалли другой подарок, это не кассета про суперкубок. Более того, он принес два подарка, для Скалли и Мелиссы. Две маленькие коробочки, для Скалли это A CD box set of the Essential Recordings of Elvis Presley from the 1950's. Скалли говорит, что знала, что у нее есть причина жить. А Мелиссе он подарил the Essential Elvis recordings of the 1960's, на что она ответила, что вызовет дух Элвиса, чтобы послушать эти записи вместе с ним.
Малдер говорит Скалли, что ей нужен отдых, нежно прикасается к ее руке, она закрывает глаза, он начинает уходить, когда она говорит ему - Я с нетерпением жду возвращения к работе - Малдер кивает и снова поворачивается, чтобы уйти, но она продолжает, - и я тоже не представляю это без тебя со мной рядом.
Малдер поражен, но не показывает этого, достает ее крестик из кармана и протягивает ей.



Альтернативный вариант прощальной речи Малдера:
- Когда я увидел тебя в первый раз, я ненавидел тебя, я не мог позволить тебе это увидеть... но... когда мне сказали, что в отдел назначают еще одного агента, я знал, что они прислали тебя следить за мной... а теперь... теперь я не могу представить свою жизнь без тебя.

-- Timeline: No specific date is given within the episode, but Mulder turns the calendar to November in the episode "3," and "Firewalker" begins on November 11th. Thus, Scully was returned sometime in early November 1994, three months after she was abducted.

-- According to Glen Morgan, the writers set out to make "One Breath" David Duchovny's "Beyond the Sea," to try to give Mulder more character rather than just having him breaking down doors to solve the mystery. Morgan and Wong had intended for "Little Green Men" to provide Mulder with that depth of character, but that episode didn't turn out quite as they intended.

-- The episode teaser featured Scully as a child (with voiceover by Sheila Larken as Mrs. Scully) with her two brothers. The voiceover referred to Dana, Melissa, and Bill Jr. by name; the script indicated Scully's other brother was named "Charles."

-- "'One Breath' was one of the most popular episodes on the show and really it's not an X-File per se," said Chris Carter. "It's really an exploration of Mulder's caring for Scully. The episode begins in a way that I never imagined an X-Files episode beginning, which was a kind of dreamy reminiscence by Scully's mother about Scully's childhood and about her realizing that things die and about the sadness and sorrow that comes with death, and it set up the episode in a frightening way because they were looking at Agent Scully's headstone there, prepared for her to die as well. It was a very soft but beautiful opening for the show, something we hadn't done before."

-- The tombstones of both main characters made an appearance in the show (before either character had died), Scully's here in "One Breath," six seasons before Mulder's would appear in Season 8's "Within."

-- It seemed odd that Scully's mother would order a tombstone describing her daughter as "Loving Daughter and Friend" as opposed to "Loving Daughter and Sister." Interestingly, the inscription on Melissa's tombstone (shown in Season 3's "Apocrypha") reads "Beloved Sister and Daughter."

-- Oopsie! The inscription on Scully's grave marker includes a quote from the Bible, "The Spirit is the Truth" (another curious choice by Dana's mother!), 1 John 5:07. However, this statement actually comes from the previous verse, 1 John 5:6, which reads: "This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ, not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth." 1 John 5:7 reads: "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost; and these three are one."

-- The tombstone Bible inscription cites "1 John 5:07" as the source; but this would be a highly unusual way to reference a single-digit Bible verse. It should have been inscribed as "1 John 5:7."

-- The scenes set at Northeast Georgetown Medical Center (where Scully was returned) were filmed at B.C. Children's Hospital, 4480 Oak Street.

-- In advising Mrs. Scully about Dana's criteria for terminating life support, Dr. Daly mentioned the Glasgow Outcome Scale. The Glasgow Outcome Scale is a scale that assesses the outcome of serious craniocerebral injuries, based on the level of regained social functioning. The five categories of the original scale are: dead, vegetative, severely disabled, moderately disabled, and good recovery.

-- Gillian Anderson gave birth to her daughter Piper on September 25, 1994, by C-section, just 10 days before coming to the set to film this episode. She was still a bit wobbly and exhausted, and she spent most of the episode in bed in a hospital gown, occasionally falling asleep while filming some of her scenes.

-- "The mythology of the series didn't really blossom until the unexpected event late in the first season, which was the real-life pregnancy of Gillian Anderson," recalled co-producer Frank Spotnitz. "That event forced the X-Files to be serialized in a way I don't think it was ever intended to be serialized. Suddenly there had to be an arc of stories that dealt with the fact that Scully was going to be gone for who knew who many episodes."

-- "We knew we had a window where we had to write her out," added co-producer Howard Gordon. "Fortunately, this was a show about abduction, so we abducted her.

-- "There was talk of actually making her have an alien baby, which would have been a terrible idea," said Chris Carter. "So what we ultimately decided to do was to shoot around her pregnancy and her pregnant stomach. Then we had her abducted, Gillian went off and had her baby, and then she came back in this episode."

-- Melinda McGraw made her first appearance as Melissa Scully in "One Breath." Melinda worked with writers Glen Morgan and James Wong when she played Detective Cyd Madison on The Commish, and the role of Melissa was written specifically for her. The producers considered making Melissa a romantic interest for Mulder, but later nixed the idea. Melinda can next be seen as Barbara Gordon in the new Batman film, The Dark Knight.

-- Melissa's introduction scene in the original script was a bit different than the one in the episode. Here is the scene as it appeared in the script:

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

INT. INTENSIVE CARE WARD - DAY - CLOSE - CRYSTAL

Light sparkles, bending inside a slowly spinning crystal. The crystal is lowered onto Scully's chest. A female hand holds the stone over Scully's heart. The respirator HISSES.

MELISSA SCULLY, 29, looks down upon her younger sister. Melissa is dressed in a long flowered dress with a subtle crystal necklace. There is a level of sadness to Melissa, but it is not from her sister's condition. She seems to have a certain peace about the situation. Melissa holds the rock over Scully's heart and closes her eyes. In the background, Nurse Owens is tending to someone in the room.

MULDER enters, approaching the bed. He studies Melissa.

WIDER

Without opening her eyes, Melissa extends the crystal to Mulder. He reaches for it, then pulls his hand away from the heat. Melissa slowly opens her eyes, enigmatic.

MELISSA: I've been told not to call you "Fox".

MULDER: By who?

MELISSA: Dana, just now.

Mulder eyes her, curious.

She talks a lot about you.

MULDER: She never talks about you.

Melissa smiles at Mulder, but once again turns sad at the probably truth.

MELISSA: Probably not.

MULDER: Who are you?

MELISSA: My name's Melissa.

Margaret Scully enters the ward and is surprised to see Melissa. There is tension between the mother and daughter, but it is subtle as both sides try to hide their feelings.

Hi mom.

Mulder turns, surprised.

MULDER: You're Scully's sister?

MARGARET: Thank you for coming, dear.

MULDER: (to Margaret) She said she talked to Dana, just now.

Margaret is dubious.

MELISSA: And I didn't even ask her for money.

Margaret is not pleased. Mulder moves to the EEG machine.

MULDER: If she had spoken to you, the EEG would have moved.

Melissa shakes her head, "not in that way".

MELISSA: Her soul is here.

She gently moves her hands out over her sister's body. Margaret turns away, upset.

MARGARET: Would anyone like coffee?

Mulder and Melissa shake their heads "no". Margaret leaves.

MELISSA: Dana's choosing whether to remain ... or move on.

Mulder looks over the area, then to Melissa.

You don't believe ... but you want to. You want to believe more than ever.

He looks to her, close to nodding in agreement.

You can feel her. Here.

She closes her eyes and holds her hand over Scully's body. Mulder moves to the bed, holding out his hand.

CAMERA FOLLOWS HIM, however, THE CAMERA MOVES BEYOND Mulder toward Scully, PUSHING IN on her eyes. CLOSER... CLOSER...

CUT TO:

EXT. THE SEA - DAY - CLOSE - WATER

Waves lap against the hull of a small wooden rowboat, matching the rhythm of the respirator.

WIDE ANGLE - DANA SCULLY

sits on the boat. She wears a black Victorian coat. Her expression is blank as she looks towards the shore. On the dock, stands Mulder and Melissa continuing their conversation from the hospital. In fact, their SOUND PRESENCE is the same as if they were standing over the hospital bed.

Nurse Owens stands behind them by herself on the dock.

MULDER: She's not here.

MELISSA: Your anger ... your hurt ... is blocking the emotions you need her to feel.

MULDER: She's gone.

INT. INTENSIVE CARE UNIT - DAY

Mulder steps back. Melissa takes his hand, he pulls his hand away.

MELISSA: She needs you.

MULDER: I need to do more than just wave my hands in the air.
