CHARACTER
Previously on The X-Files.
MULDER
You sent for me. I'm here.
SCULLY
We are witnessing what may be the advent of a global contagion.
REYES
It could kill everyone but the chosen.
SCULLY
Alien DNA mixed with our DNA.
REYES
Science given to them by an alien race.
SMOKING MAN
Neither you nor I could save mankind from self-extermination. I just changed the timetable.
SCULLY
Get to the hospital. Help is on its way, I promise.
SMOKING MAN
That their fates were sealed since birth. They were simply puppets.
MAN

SMOKING MAN
The world will go on. Just in my image instead of God's.
MAN

MULDER
Who sent you?
SMOKING MAN
You see a seemingly weak man. But I'm the most powerful man in the world.
SMOKING MAN
My name is Carl Gerhard Busch. But I've been known by many aliases during my long career with the U.S. government. It's been a humbling job, though I'm hardly known as a humble man. I've been a witness to history, much of it violent. Much of it an abomination of the values Americans hold dear. I've had a privileged seat at the centers of power. Held the reins of that power. Making sacrifices few are capable of. Of which even fewer are willing. If people knew the truth, they'd riot in the streets. Too much is made of the will to power. As if our will is free, our choices are own. Our destinies are forged in our bones. Made real by a raging impulse to self-destruct. I'm not a bad man. More a practical man. I've taken certain gifts I was given and made good men great. It is my greatness. I'm a father to two men who have figured more in the future than they might ever know. Both would end up working for the FBI. Both complex, but dedicated men, who sacrificed dearly. And in their dogged pursuits, would end up paying a terrible price. Searching for truth as I parceled them out. Truths held only by the few who know the levers of power and the invisible hand controlling them. Is there life out there? Good heavens. To doubt it is a failure of more than the imagination, it is a failure to recognize the limits of our own stupidity. The nascency of our science. The rudiment of our tools. We listen, we search, we hope for a sign as if our eyes and ears are good enough. Our brains large enough. Our egos small enough. I'm an old man now. I will leave my own mark upon history. More than presidents of tyrants. I don't ask for loyalty and trust, the fleeting bonds of men. I ask only for the years to show my sons and their sons, I was right. What their father did, had to be done.
CROWD


NEIL ARMSTRONG
That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.
DIRECTOR
Cut.
FEMALE PARAMEDIC
What's her heart rate?
MALE PARAMEDIC
Heart rate elevated to 186 BPM.
FEMALE PARAMEDIC
Ma'am, can you hear me? Can you hear me, ma'am? I need her blood pressure, stat. No dilation, unresponsive, no indication of trauma. You found her where she is?
MULDER
She must've fallen. It's me, Scully. Can you hear me?
FEMALE PARAMEDIC
She's bit her tongue, but no trauma to her head. Has she had seizures before?
MULDER
No, no no.
FEMALE PARAMEDIC
Does she take meds for anything that she?
MULDER
She's perfectly healthy. She's a doctor, she woulda told me.
MALE PARAMEDIC
Hey, hey, hey, we got a gurney coming in.
SKINNER
What happened, Agent Mulder?
MULDER
They say she had a seizure.
EMT
One-two-three, lift. Gentle, gentle. Call the hospital with our ETA. Let's clear out.
MULDER
I'm going to the hospital.
SKINNER
I'm going with you.
MULDER
I just want someone to tell me what the hell is going on here.
SKINNER
No news, good news, Mulder
MULDER
That's B.S. and you know it.
SKINNER
Why don't you go outside and get some fresh air? I'll text you when there's word.
MULDER
I don't want to hear it from you. I wanna talk to Scully.
DOCTOR JOYET
Excuse me. Is one of you Fox Mulder?
MULDER
Is she gonna be okay?
DOCTOR JOYET
I'm Doctor Joyet, her neurologist. We've done a series of tests.
MULDER
Can you answer my question?
DOCTOR JOYET
The answer is we don't know.
MULDER
What do you mean you don't know? What the hell you been doing in there?
SKINNER
Mulder. Why don't you let her talk?
MULDER
I wanna talk to Scully.
DOCTOR JOYET
She's still unconscious. What I know right now is that she has extremely abnormal brain activity.
MULDER
Abnormal how?
DOCTOR JOYET
I need to show you something.
DOCTOR JOYET
We ran her through everything we have here. CTs, FMRI. The entire protocol. When I say, abnormal, I don't see any damage, just gross abnormality. The brain is a very complex organ. A cascading series of subsets that begin and end with the prefrontal cortex. The part that makes us human. What you're seeing right now is the PFC in real-time, and the reason I don't have any answers for you is, I've never seen anything quite like this before.
SKINNER
What's this here?
DOCTOR JOYET
The hypothalamus. The area we associate with fight or flight.
SKINNER
I don't know what I'm looking at, but I'm reading this part.a signal. I mean I'm reading this flashing as code.
DOCTOR JOYET
You must be mistaken.
MULDER
What do you mean, "code"?
SKINNER
Six dots, two dashes. Him. Find him.
MULDER
This is insanity. I wanna see her.
MULDER
Can she hear us?
DOCTOR JOYET
What she needs right now is quiet. Rest. Neurologically speaking, her brain's on fire.
MULDER
I'm sure that's what she needs. But I'm gonna stay here.
SKINNER
Mulder. A moment outside.
SKINNER
You're not helping your cause.
MULDER
Are you helping my cause?
SKINNER
What if it was a message?
MULDER
Find who? It's absurd.
SKINNER
Who would you be asking for? Your son.
MULDER
Well, why ask for him now? She's not dying.
SKINNER
Maybe she's not. But I've seen you believe far more absurd things, Agent Mulder. And far less personal. Hey. I care about her too. I'm just looking for answers here.
MULDER
Then you go look for them, Skinner. Where I'm needed is in there.
MULDER
The thought is imperishable. A fear that takes hold in the gut. That the person you care for most in the world could be hurt by you. By your actions. The simple fact of knowing you. As she lies here, so helpless, those same thoughts and fears flood my mind with questions. If I caused this, how then can I make it stop?
SMOKING MAN
I think you know who I am.
REYES
I thought you were dead.
EINSTEIN
Massive contagions. Alien DNA.
SCULLY
Spartan Virus.
SMOKING MAN
You'll be dead yourself within a week.
SCULLY
Mulder.
MULDER
Scully.
SCULLY
Mulder, you have to go.
MULDER
I'm not going anywhere.
SCULLY
Just find the Smoking Man.
MULDER
Scully, I'm gonna get your doctor.
SCULLY
No, listen to me. I've seen it.
MULDER
You've seen what, Scully?
SCULLY
I know how it begins. There's a virus. The Spartan Virus. It shuts down our immune systems and it starts a pandemic.
MULDER
Honey, you had a seizure. You-You have extremely abnormal brain activity.
SCULLY
No. A plague is released. But there's a cure. Mulder, I'm absolutely certain about this.
MULDER
Okay. Tell me what you saw.
SCULLY
You're dying, Mulder. And I can't save you. Not without stem cells from our son.
MULDER
Scully, I'm fine. I'm here. There's no plague. You don't need to save me.
SCULLY
The Smoking Man is behind it.
MULDER
The Smoking Man is dead.
SCULLY
No. No, he's not. He's alive. And he's in Spartanburg, South Carolina, Mulder. From where he unleashes hell on Earth.
MULDER
Scully, I don't doubt you. That you believe what you've seen. But the-the doctor said that your brain is on fire and.
SCULLY
It's me, Mulder. I'm not an irrational person. You have to find him. And you have to stop him, before he kills you.
MULDER
I'm gonna talk to your doctor first. Okay?
ASSAILANT
Ah! Oh. Where's the boy? All I want is the boy.
DOCTOR JOYET
I don't doubt the visions. It's their specific etiology.
SCULLY
Well, I call them visions, but my experience of them was very real.
DOCTOR JOYET
Real is a subjective judgment. If you believe them to be real, then they're real to you. The question is, where these visions came from.
MULDER
If the seizure caused them.
DOCTOR JOYET
Or the exact opposite. If the seizure was caused by the visions.
SCULLY
I don't understand the difference.
DOCTOR JOYET
Let's just say we're verging on the fringes of accepted neurology.
MULDER
You mean you think her visions have a source?
DOCTOR JOYET
This is rather sensitive territory. I don't have to tell you that we live at the nexus of certain government agencies. The CIA, TIA, NSA, DARPA.doing experiments on the mind even before the Cold War.
MULDER
We have files on all that.
DOCTOR JOYET
I've had certain patients, products of these experiments, casualties. I've also seen things that could only be described as superhuman.
SCULLY
I'm not a part of any experiment.
MULDER
But you may have been. You said there's a man behind this.
SCULLY
I need to get out of here.
MULDER
Scully.
SCULLY
I have to get to the bottom of this, Mulder.
MULDER
Scully, I'm on this. I'm on it.
SCULLY
Ah.
SMOKING MAN
I have to tell you.
REYES
You've seen what was coming.
SMOKING MAN
This is going to go down badly. We are not to be found.
SCULLY
Ugh.
SPENDER
Mulder, it's Jeffrey Spender. Someone's looking for your son. For William. They came after me in my home. You may all be in danger.
SMOKING MAN
They will be coming for me. Mulder will be coming for me. If he finds me, he'll kill me. But we are not to be found.
MULDER
If Scully was a conduit, if her abnormal brain activity was triggered by some external agency, who or what had reason to put her through the trauma? For what purpose? And to what end will she suffer? Scully's story would be incredible outright. A dead man unleashing a plague on the world. My impending demise. The desperation to find our son. Unbelievable. If not for the fact that I've been followed since I left the hospital. But followed by whom?
SMOKING MAN
This is going to go down badly.
REYES
Certainly you've taken precautions.
SMOKING MAN
Of course. I've been at this too long, not to have my alternatives.
REYES
You know Mulder. He's determined.
SMOKING MAN
Determined to what? Stop me? He can't stop what's already begun.
OTHER DRIVER
Oh, God!
DRIVER

SCULLY
William. Our son.
SPENDER
Your job is part of you.
SCULLY
They'll take him from us.
SPENDER
Scully. Agent Scully. Agent Scully. I've taken a risk coming here.
SCULLY
What is it, Spender?
SPENDER
Someone came at me.
SCULLY
What do you mean, came at you?
SPENDER
Trying to find your son.
SCULLY
What did you tell them?
SPENDER
I didn't tell them anything. But they'll be coming at me again.
SCULLY
I need to know where he is.
SPENDER
You made me promise to hide your son. To never tell you, to never tell anyone where he was, your son was never to be found.
SCULLY
I know. I'm asking you to break that promise.
SPENDER
What if they come at you?
SCULLY
You don't understand. Mulder's life may depend on it.
SPENDER
I only have a name. Of the adoptive parents. Van de Kamp.
SCULLY
I want you to help me find him.
SPENDER
I've already broken a promise.
SCULLY
No. The Smoking Man. Your father. He's the one that's looking for them.

SPENDER
My father's dead.
SCULLY
No, he's not. He's alive.
DOCTOR FOYET
Dana, you've gotta stay calm. You've gotta stay in bed.
SCULLY
No. I'm not gonna calm down. I want to get out of here.
DOCTOR FOYET
Nurse, can you help me?
NURSE 2
Miss Scully.
DOCTOR FOYET
Security.
SCULLY
Where are my things? Look, you can't keep me here.
DOCTOR FOYET
I fear you may seize.
SCULLY
Just tell me where my things are. I'm leaving.
SMOKING MAN
I'm concerned for Scully. If she were to fear her boy was in danger, like Mulder, she'd stop at nothing.
REYES
The boy is in danger. You said so.
SMOKING MAN
But I don't understand from whom.
REYES
You've always had your enemies.
SMOKING MAN
Yes, but why go after the boy now?
REYES
Maybe they know he's your weakness.
SMOKING MAN
They couldn't possibly know that.
REYES
But suddenly everyone knows everything of you and your plans.
SMOKING MAN
My plans are airtight. And even if they were to get out, they would be dismissed as so much fake news. That's the world we live in, Monica. Every day a new disaster. When the one thing no one is prepared for will wipe the slate clean. We refuse to imagine our impending extinction. The acceleration of the cataclysms. We've thrown science out the window in favor of scandal and opinion. Can't and all manner of ridiculous untruths. Civilization a joke. And my plan, merely the punchline.
MULDER
Were Scully's visions a prophecy playing out in real time? Just as she foretold, the driver I'd dropped had driven me seven hours, through three states, and across the border into South Carolina.
MULDER
Scully, what's wrong?
SCULLY
Nothing. Nothing's wrong.
MULDER
Then stay off the phone.
SCULLY
It's okay, Mulder. I'm okay.
MULDER
No, Scully, you're not.
SCULLY
Just listen to me, Mulder. Jeffrey Spender came to me.
MULDER
What are you talking about?
SCULLY
He gave me a name. How to find our son.
MULDER
No.
SCULLY
Something to start on.
MULDER
You can't be doing this now, Scully.

SCULLY
I need to, Mulder. I've seen how it happens. And how it ends.
MULDER
Where are you?
SCULLY
I don't want you to worry.
MULDER
Scully, where are you?
SCULLY
Standing at your desk.
MULDER
No, it.it's not worth it.
SCULLY
Mulder, I know what I'm doing.
MULDER
Damn it, Scully.
SCULLY
Where are you?
MULDER
I'm passing into South Carolina. I'm following a guy.
SCULLY
This is what I saw, Mulder. How it begins. The confrontation between you and the Smoking Man.
MULDER
All right, look. I want you to listen to me.
SCULLY
No, this is why you need William. Why I need to find him.
MULDER
I'm going to call Skinner. I need you to just stay put, okay?
SCULLY
I have to find our son. You need him. And I need you. Oh. Oh.
MULDER
Scully?
SCULLY
Ah. Ah.

MULDER
Scully?
SMOKING MAN
Find the boy.
MULDER
What does he want with my son?
SMOKING MAN
He's a very special child. The threat is that you'll never see your son again.
SCULLY
What.is happening?
REYES
Do you think Scully will forgive you?
SMOKING MAN
She'll come to see the beauty of it. The beauty of a planet returned to its savage state. Living as we were intended.
REYES
These are people you're killing.
SMOKING MAN
I'm just cleaning the mess that they made.
REYES
Doesn't mean we won't hate you.
SMOKING MAN
I've endured more hatred than you'll ever know. My enemies are legion.
MULDER
What price was Scully now paying for her visions and her certainties? And what price would I pay for not turning back to help her? All I could do was heed her admonitions.
REYES
Scully and her boy have a bond beyond you. Beyond science.
SMOKING MAN
She's completely unaware of that.
REYES
Really? What makes you so certain?
SMOKING MAN
It's a secret only you and I know.
MULDER
I was running on only adrenaline and Scully's premonitions. But was it hope I should be feeling? Or fear? That Scully was right. And a man I'd come to despise, my own father, was alive. And if he were, he'd become mad with power. I owe it to Scully now to find out the truth.
SMOKING MAN
I fear only for Scully and the boy. And the harm my enemies may bring on them.
REYES
I think you're in love with her.
SMOKING MAN
I worry for her. I always had Mulder to protect her. But now he's going to force my hand.
REYES
You won't shed a tear for Mulder.
SMOKING MAN
Of course I will. He's my son.
REYES
What if Scully finds the boy first?
SMOKING MAN
You and I won't let that happen.
MULDER
Federal Agent, I'm armed.
ERIKA PRICE
Please point the gun away.
MULDER
Hands. Hands in the air where I can see 'em.
MR Y
For heaven's sake, Mr. Mulder. All you had to do was knock.
SKINNER
Agent Scully?
REYES
Both hands on the wheel.
SKINNER
The hell is this, Monica?
REYES
Me with a gun to your head.
SMOKING MAN
Mind if I smoke?
MAN 2
Ma'am, are you okay?
MR Y
You've driven a long way.
MULDER
Where's the Smoking Man?
MR Y
Oh, we'd hope you'd show us.
MULDER
Answer me!
MR Y
We don't know where he is.
MULDER
Then who the hell are you?
MR Y
My name? I don't think it really matters at this point, do you, Mr. Mulder? And certainly, I think I must apologize for the imposition. We can tell you this. He was here. Not long ago. We smoked too much, we drank too much in the foreign service. Your erstwhile father led the way.
MULDER
Answer my question.
MR Y
We're all part of a syndicate involved in alien colonization. Surely, you knew about this business.
MULDER
You're conspirators.
MR Y
Not at all. Quite the opposite. Go, go. It's okay, Mr. Mulder. Our man here won't be troubling you any longer. This is my associate.
MULDER
I see. Nobody has a name.
MR Y
We've all had many names.
MULDER
You wanna see me snap?
MR Y
Oh, I don't think you're gonna fire that gun, Mr. Mulder. You haven't heard what I have to say.
ERIKA PRICE
Let me cut to the point. The man we're both looking for is bent.
MR Y
Hell-bent is what he is.
ERIKA PRICE
On exterminating humanity.
SMOKING MAN
You'll be pleased to know, Mr. Skinner, I'm here to offer you a deal.
SKINNER
I don't make deals.
REYES
This is a waste of time.
SMOKING MAN
You're still a fairly young man. Years to live, by my estimation.
SKINNER
Try me, you son of a bitch. I'm the one with a gun.
SMOKING MAN
Not so long ago, mankind's greatest threats were war, famine and plague. We've all but conquered them with hard science. This faith in technology, our new religion. When a simple pathogen would kill billions and billions. Your immune system will go first, but this is what will finally kill you.
SKINNER
You're a party to this?
MR Y
His plan is already in motion. The aliens are not coming, Mr. Mulder. Just so you understand.
ERIKA PRICE
No interest in a warming planet with vanishing resources.
MULDER
So just unleash a plague?
ERIKA PRICE
This is no ordinary contagion. This is an alien pathogen.
MR Y
The end of history, Mr. Mulder.
ERIKA PRICE
And why you have to kill him.
MR Y
The threat is that you'll never see your son again.
SKINNER
What are you offering me?
SMOKING MAN
Immunity to it.
SKINNER
In return for what?
SMOKING MAN
Find me the boy, Mr. Skinner.

MR Y
He needs the boy, Mr. Mulder.
MULDER
He'll never find him.
MR Y
You doubt his determination? He'll use those closest to you.
MULDER
What does he want with my son?
ERIKA PRICE
That's the question, isn't it?
MR Y
He's clearly a very special child.
MULDER
Why the hell do you care?
MR Y
We want to save humanity. He used to want the same.
ERIKA PRICE
The aliens came to study us. Were prepared to work with us.
MR Y
He was to be the man to lead us. But, he became destructive. He took only his own counsel.
SMOKING MAN
Understand I protected mankind as long as I could, Mr. Skinner.
SKINNER
Oh, I see. So you're the hero?
SMOKING MAN
No one would listen. The aliens brought not only technology. They brought the seeds of our destruction. It's what our government would never grasp. And while they were adventuring in Cuba and Vietnam, then Central America, I was busy in the Nevada desert, dissecting, reverse engineering, playing God with life-forms the stuff of science fiction. I had the time, the money and the freedom to plan for a day I knew would come.

MR Y
You have no idea this man's need to control our fate. How effective and bold his plots and ambitions.
ASTRONAUT
now over.
CASSANDRA SPENDER 1969
Ah! Oh my gosh. We did it.
ASTRONAUT
Houston, we see you on the stare below over.
YOUNG SPENDER
That's really the moon? 
CASSANDRA SPENDER 1969
Yes, that's really the moon, Jeffrey.
YOUNG SMOKING MAN
That's how heroes are made.
ASTRONAUT
Roger, how does it look?
ASTRONAUT 2
The eagle has landed.
ASTRONAUT
Roger.
SMOKING MAN
It's the fourth turning, Mr. Skinner. Civilization is in its final stages. Alliances are crumbling. Truth is fluid and alterable. The only truth left is to survive it.
SKINNER
And who chooses? You?
REYES
There are people with immunity.
SMOKING MAN
Agent Scully has it. And her son. They'll survive with a select few.
SKINNER
What about Agent Mulder?
MR Y
Kill him. Before he kills us all. You're his son, Mr. Mulder.
ERIKA PRICE
He won't be expecting you.
MULDER
You know what I think? That's only half the story. He wants to exterminate humanity. What's your budding enterprise?
ERIKA PRICE
The colonization of space.
MR Y
We're closer than you think.
ERIKA PRICE
Building Dyson spheres and magnificent habitable structures.
MULDER
Oh. That's the plan. A secret space program? I don't think so. I think this is a power play. You want me to kill him so you can implement your own plan. You wanna see blood in the streets. The colonization of space? How do you plan to do that? Transport all humanity off-planet? Seven billion people? That's not possible. Only a chosen few. And you call him evil?
MR Y
We can take you with us, Mr. Mulder. You and your boy.
MULDER
You're a liar. You're all liars.
MR Y
Then no one can save us.
MULDER
I know someone who can save us. And I think you know her too. Now get out of my way.
SMOKING MAN
I think we're finished here.
SKINNER
Get your ass back in the car. I'm not finished.
MULDER
Come on, pick up the phone.
SKINNER
Why do you want the boy?
SMOKING MAN
He's very important to me.
SKINNER
You're asking me to betray them. To betray people that I care about.
SMOKING MAN
No, no, no. I'm asking you to turn your back on the whole human race.
MULDER
Come on!
DOCTOR JOYET
Are you the FBI agents? I came as quickly as I could.
MILLER
From what I understand, Agent Einstein may have saved her life.
DOCTOR FAREA
How did you even find her?
MILLER
We were pulling into the FBI when we saw her car take the hit.
DOCTOR FAREA
And you knew to bring her here?
EINSTEIN
From her medical bracelet.
DOCTOR FAREA
Well, she's lucky you found her when you did.
MULDER
Hello?
DOCTOR FAREA
I just wanted to tell you she's here, in case you were worried.

MULDER
Where's here?
DOCTOR FAREA
The hospital. She had an accident and we're monitoring her.
DRIVER
Excuse me.
DRIVER
Uh, ah!
SCULLY
ugh.
DRIVER
Ah.
SCULLY

DRIVER

SCULLY
Help.
MULDER
The horror I'd felt, the gut-wrench at seeing Scully fighting against a storm in her head, now only doubled. Had I come full circle to find the truth? Or only to uncover greater lies? Not one conspiracy, but two. That threatened not only Scully, but our son. Drumbeats in my heart.
MULDER
That man they just wheeled out on a gurney. I know that man.
SCULLY
The Smoking Man didn't send him.
MULDER
How do you know that?
SCULLY
Because the Smoking Man won't harm me. He's held my life in his hands. That.was something else.

MULDER
Your visions, Scully. They're not wrong.
SCULLY
My visions.are from William. I don't know how, but I know that he's guiding me. And you.
MULDER
They're looking for him.
SCULLY
The Smoking Man can't act without William. I know that in my bones. And William knows it. They won't find him. But he will find us.
MULDER
So we.just wait? Do nothing?
SCULLY
We do our work. The truth still lies in the X-Files, Mulder.
SKINNER
They said you were attacked.
MULDER
I was calling you.
SKINNER
I didn't get your call.
MULDER
Where have you been, Skinner? Where you been?
SKINNER
Leave it alone, Mulder.
MULDER
I asked you to look for her.
SKINNER
And I looked for her.
MULDER
Where'd you look?
SKINNER
I said leave it alone.
MULDER
You smell like smoke.
SCULLY
Mulder.
SKINNER

POLICE

MULDER
Whose side are you on?
SKINNER
I said leave it alone, Mulder.
MULDER
What are you hiding?
SKINNER
What could possibly make you think that I would ever take your deal?
SMOKING MAN
You're not betraying, Scully. She'll be with us. She's immune.
SKINNER
Hey, you really get off on this, don't ya?
SMOKING MAN
Manufacturing destiny.
SKINNER
Why kill Mulder?
SMOKING MAN
Mulder would kill me.
SKINNER
Scully will never take your offer.
SMOKING MAN
Of course she'll take it.
SKINNER
Not without Mulder, she won't.
SMOKING MAN
I'll present her with a simple choice. Mulder or her only son.
SKINNER
So this is just vengeance?
SMOKING MAN
Oh, it's more than that. Dana and I have a history. A very important history that goes back 17 years.
SMOKING MAN
I'm glad you came. We'll need to take a trip.
SCULLY
I'm here.
SMOKING MAN
It'll require a few days.
SCULLY
You drugged me.
SMOKING MAN
I did nothing of the sort.
SCULLY
How the hell did I get out of my clothes and into bed?
SMOKING MAN
We carried you. My housekeeper and I. You'd been up for over 30 hours, you were delirious. You can ask her.
SCULLY
I don't know what you're up to.
SKINNER
You impregnated her?
SMOKING MAN
With science, Mr. Skinner. Alien science. To create the first superhuman child.
SKINNER
Mulder's not the father? I'm asking. Who's the father?
SMOKING MAN
I am. William is my son.
WILLIAM
