Russian Trailer for 'The X-Files: I Want to Believe' - with Translation!

Filed under: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fandom, 20th Century Fox, Trailers and Clips, Friday Night Double Feature

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Since Fox has refused to reveal virtually any plot details about this summer's The X-Files: I Want to Believe, I've endeavored to translate the still-cryptic but slightly more informative Russian trailer that hit the interwebs yesterday. It would seem that the story will involve a priest named "Father Joe" (that's the Billy Connolly character) who has nightmarish visions of a woman in trouble that he claims come from God. (In other words, this unofficial summary seems to have been on the money.) We also learn that Mulder is roped into the investigation by Amanda Peet's character, Dakota Whitney.

I had fun translating the cheesy dubbing; you hear bits of this dialogue in the American trailer, but a lot of it is new. Check out the translation after the jump.
Father Joe (Billy Connolly): I had a vision. I see a woman's face. I hear barking dogs. They're there.
Dakota Whitney (Amanda Peet): I called you because I value your faith in this phenomenon. I'm not the most popular agent in the FBI right now.
Mulder: Scully?
Scully: Mulder?
African-American Agent: Father Joe says it's a paranormal connection.
Father Joe: Do you believe in such things?
Mulder: I want to believe.
Father Joe: Don't give up.
Mulder: Do you see them?
Father Joe: I see eyes.
Father Joe: My visions come from the hands of God.
Scully: Maybe it's not God that's sending them.
Mulder: What do you see? Father Joe?
Scully: I'm not hunting monsters in the dark anymore.
Father Joe: It's here.
Mulder: I need your help.
Father Joe: It's here. It's here! Here!
The title cards read simply: "This year, to find the truth, you have to believe."
