THE X-FILES "Q-GUN – 波束射撃" Teleplay by: YOUR NAME & ChatGPT Draft date : 12 May 2025 Runtime : ~45 min (Network Hour) ================================================================= DEVICE DOSSIER — "Q-GUN Mark I" Principle : Fires a coherent matter-wave bullet that tunnels through up to 0.5 m of solid material, collapsing the wavefunction on the target. Components : Cryo-Emitter (-269 °C); Phase-Shift Crystal Array; Qubit Trigger Module. Capabilities : Locked-room assassination; invisible entry; no ballistic trace. Weakness : Requires bulky cryo/power gear → detectable cold spot; EM jamming or random phase noise blocks collapse. ================================================================= TEASER INT. SECURE CONFERENCE ROOM – DAY A group of OFFICIALS sits behind bulletproof glass walls. The room is sealed. Suddenly, a faint *whoosh*. One official collapses, blood issuing from his chest. No bullet hole in glass or walls. SMASH TO: MAIN TITLES ================================================================= ACT ONE INT. X-FILES OFFICE – DAY Mulder reviews diplomatic cable on a locked-room killing. The victim died inside a bulletproof-glass chamber built due to military threat across the border. SCULLY They say it was a heart attack. MULDER But he bled from a single, precise entry wound… no exit. Skinner enters, solemn. SKINNER You’re heading to [Country]. Official stance: cardiac arrest. Unofficial: find the truth. Now. ================================================================= ACT TWO INT. FOREIGN POLICE HQ – EVENING Photos of the sealed chamber. Witnesses insist they saw him *suddenly* fall. Glass intact. No sound of gunfire. INVESTIGATOR We screened for poison; none found. Only mystery remains. Scully examines microscopic fragments: phase-interference fringes indicating tunneled matter. SCULLY These patterns match quantum tunneling signatures. ================================================================= ACT THREE INT. QUANTUMCORE R&D LAB – NIGHT Lab filled with cryogenic equipment. A RECLUSIVE PHYSICIST, Dr. YAMASHIRO, tinkers with crystal arrays. MULDER Is this true? A gun that fires a wave? YAMASHIRO (gravely) Wavepacket weapons are theoretical… dangerous. A CRYPTOGRAPHIC SECURITY (CS) AGENT appears: CS AGENT Stop this. Leave the research alone. He vanishes. Mulder pockets a smudged schematic labeled “Q-GUN.” ================================================================= ACT FOUR EXT. DARK ALLEY – LATE NIGHT Mulder walks alone. A soft *hiss*. He clutches his chest as a wave passes through brick. His coin-filled pocket stops him; the bullet materializes against metal. MULDER (staggering) It… it went through the wall, but not this. Scully arrives, shining a UV light on lingering fringe patterns. SCULLY It phases through insulators—glass, concrete—but not metal. ================================================================= ACT FIVE INT. X-FILES SAFEHOUSE – DAY Mulder prepares to hand over files to diplomatic envoy via USB. Suddenly, BLACK-CLAD AGENTS burst in, snatch the drive, and flee. An empty folder remains labeled "Q-GUN Mark I." MULDER They want to bury this. SCULLY Officially: unexplained cardiac arrest. ================================================================= TAG INT. ABANDONED WAREHOUSE – NIGHT A FIGURE retrieves the stolen USB. On a laptop: folder named "Q-GUN Mark II" appears. A blinking prompt: _"Ready to fire."_ FADE OUT. ================================================================= END
