 FBI special agents John Doggett ( Robert Patrick ) and Dana Scully ( Gillian Anderson ) meet Duffy Haskell ( Jay Acovone ) , who tells them about his wife — a multiple @-@ abductee who he believes was killed by her doctors upon giving birth to an alien child . He also describes how his wife 's cancer was both caused and cured by her abductors . Duffy refers the agents to Zeus Genetics in Maryland , and shows them an ultrasound scan that seems to vindicate his story . As the agents leave , Doggett notes similarities between the case and Scully 's history , although he does not yet know that Scully is pregnant . In a flashback , Fox Mulder ( David Duchovny ) tells Scully that her abduction ( in the second season episodes " Ascension and " One Breath " ) has rendered her infertile , as her ova were harvested for genetic experiments . Mulder later found them in a secret facility ( in fourth season 's " Memento Mori " ) , but they were not viable .
