1. God...
Copy !req
2. - What are you doing to Barnett?
- Excuse me?
Copy !req
3. What are you doing to Johnny?
Copy !req
4. Go back to your ward. There's nothing
you can do for your friend now.
Copy !req
5. - What?
- John Barnett is dead.
Copy !req
6. No, I heard him screaming.
Copy !req
7. I said John Barnett is dead.
Copy !req
8. You understand?
Copy !req
9. Go on, Crandall. Get outta here.
Copy !req
10. There's nothing more to see here.
You understand?
Copy !req
11. I still don't get it.
What does this have to do with us?
Copy !req
12. Robbing a jewelery store is a federal crime.
Copy !req
13. Thank you.
Copy !req
14. I don't know. I got a call from a guy
I worked with in Violent Crimes.
Copy !req
15. Said it was important.
Copy !req
16. Reggie! Reggie!
Copy !req
17. Mulder! I hate it when you do that.
Copy !req
18. This is Special Agent Scully. Reggie Purdue.
Copy !req
19. - How are you?
- Fine. What happened here?
Copy !req
20. Lone gunman took out a salesgirl
after she filled up a bag for him.
Copy !req
21. You guys turn up anything?
Copy !req
22. Not much, except...
Copy !req
23. .. this.
Copy !req
24. It's gonna blow your mind.
Copy !req
25. Why?
Copy !req
26. I'm telling you, Mulder,
this is going to blow... your... mind.
Copy !req
27. - What is it?
- Wait... wait a second.
Copy !req
28. - See why I called you?
- What about witness descriptions?
Copy !req
29. White male,
five-eleven to six feet, ski mask.
Copy !req
30. - Damn it, Reggie. That's Barnett.
- Yeah, but it can't be.
Copy !req
31. Who's Barnett?
Copy !req
32. It was my first case at the Bureau.
Copy !req
33. Barnett was doing armed jobs all over DC
and getting away with it.
Copy !req
34. He killed seven people.
Copy !req
35. There was this big task force.
Reggie was my ASAC.
Copy !req
36. I was 28 years old.
Right out of the Academy.
Copy !req
37. I had this theory on the case.
Reggie thought I was full of it.
Copy !req
38. I was full of it.
Copy !req
39. - What was the theory?
- That Barnett had an inside connection.
Copy !req
40. An employee at the armored car company
was tipping him off. I was sort of right.
Copy !req
41. Sort of?
Copy !req
42. Yeah, we planted bogus way bills with
the armored car company to set a trap.
Copy !req
43. But Barnett was way ahead of us.
That's when the notes started.
Copy !req
44. "Fox can't guard the chicken coop."
Copy !req
45. Clever, huh?
Copy !req
46. - So you never caught him?
- No, we did. We did, but not... uh...
Copy !req
47. .. not clean.
Copy !req
48. An agent died because I screwed up.
Copy !req
49. And what happened to Barnett?
Copy !req
50. He avoided the death penalty
on a technicality,
Copy !req
51. .. but he went down for every job he did.
Consecutive terms: 340 years.
Copy !req
52. The judge promised me he'd die in prison.
Copy !req
53. So you think he escaped?
Copy !req
54. No, that's just it.
He did die in prison, four years ago.
Copy !req
55. You're sure?
Copy !req
56. This guy a friend of yours?
Copy !req
57. Yeah, I play golf with him
every Sunday. What do you think?
Copy !req
58. You just brought this in ten minutes ago.
Copy !req
59. You're slipping, Henderson.
Copy !req
60. Ten minutes may be enough time for you.
Course, I wouldn't know from experience.
Copy !req
61. Yeah... Seriously, what do you think?
Copy !req
62. OK, first impressions: the ink is fresh,
the note was written in the last 48 hours.
Copy !req
63. Ballpoint, but you knew that.
Copy !req
64. A right-hander. Let's see...
Copy !req
65. Written by someone sitting down.
Now I'm just showing off.
Copy !req
66. Yeah. Does it match Barnett?
Copy !req
67. I'd say it's him.
Copy !req
68. But you're not sure?
Copy !req
69. 95 per cent.
Copy !req
70. Writing's sloppy. Some of the ascenders
and descenders are heavier.
Copy !req
71. Could it have been traced over
an old note of Barnett's?
Copy !req
72. Could be, but it's a damn good job if it is.
Copy !req
73. - Thanks, Henderson. I owe you one.
- Promises, promises.
Copy !req
74. There's Barnett.
We staked out an airport warehouse,
Copy !req
75. .. but everything went to hell
Copy !req
76. when Barnett took the driver
of the armored truck hostage.
Copy !req
77. Where's Mulder?
Copy !req
78. There, coming round back.
Barnett doesn't see him.
Copy !req
79. - He's got a clear shot.
- Yeah. He should have taken it.
Copy !req
80. But he couldn't.
Copy !req
81. No, no, not with the hostage so close.
Copy !req
82. Because it's not by the book.
Copy !req
83. It would have saved one life, maybe two.
Copy !req
84. Bastard Barnett just started blasting away.
Copy !req
85. So Mulder did shoot Barnett.
Copy !req
86. Twice - in the shoulder and hand.
But not before Barnett killed the driver...
Copy !req
87. .. and Agent Steve Wallenberg.
Copy !req
88. Mulder... never forgave himself for that.
Copy !req
89. You should have heard his testimony
at Barnett's trial.
Copy !req
90. Probably had a lotto do with
the sentence Barnett got.
Copy !req
91. I'll never forget Mulder
coming down from the witness stand...
Copy !req
92. .. and Barnett turning
and saying he'd get Mulder.
Copy !req
93. To tell you the truth, I wish Mulder had
killed Barnett right there in the warehouse.
Copy !req
94. - What did Henderson come up with?
- 95 per cent sure it's Barnett's handwriting.
Copy !req
95. What's that?
Copy !req
96. Federal Bureau of Prisons
sent me a copy of his death certificate.
Copy !req
97. Name of deceased: Barnett, John Irvine.
Cause of death: cardiac arrest.
Copy !req
98. September 16th 1989.
Copy !req
99. - Then it must be a very clever copycat.
- The note was written in the last 48 hours.
Copy !req
100. - Pull any prints?
- No prints.
Copy !req
101. Barnett had time in prison
to plan this with someone on the outside.
Copy !req
102. - Revenge from the grave? A neat trick.
- He planned to get you, didn't he?
Copy !req
103. I was just down talking to Agent Purdue.
Copy !req
104. He show you the video tape?
Copy !req
105. - You did the right thing, Mulder.
- Did I?
Copy !req
106. Steve Wallenberg had a wife and two kids.
Copy !req
107. One boy is an all-star
on his football team now.
Copy !req
108. I shoot two seconds earlier
and Wallenberg'd be here to see his kid play.
Copy !req
109. Instead, I got some dead man robbing
jewelery stores and sending me haikus.
Copy !req
110. Let's go!
Copy !req
111. Go, go, go. Right in there!
Copy !req
112. Very good!
Copy !req
113. Way to go, Alec.
Copy !req
114. Two! One! Hut!
Copy !req
115. I'll get you, you son of a bitch!
Copy !req
116. I've been thinking about it, Mulder, and I
think somebody is messing with your head.
Copy !req
117. - Barnett said he'd get me. You were there.
- I don't care what he said. He's dead.
Copy !req
118. - Apparently not.
- Aw, come on.
Copy !req
119. There are a lot of guys
who know that Barnett made the threat.
Copy !req
120. - How could you say that?
- I don't know. I just feel it.
Copy !req
121. All this talk around here about
Spooky Mulder, I never paid it much mind.
Copy !req
122. I figured it was just talk
about how paranoid you were an' all.
Copy !req
123. And now?
Copy !req
124. Remember the day you walked
into my office wet from Quantico?
Copy !req
125. You pissed me off just looking at you,
but then I saw how your mind worked.
Copy !req
126. How you were always three jumps ahead.
It was scary, Mulder. Everybody said so.
Copy !req
127. - I've heard this story.
- Well, maybe you ought to hear it again!
Copy !req
128. You let a lot of people down here
in the Bureau. They had big plans for you.
Copy !req
129. A lot of people are saying that Spooky
Mulder has become an embarrassment.
Copy !req
130. A liability.
Copy !req
131. What? Are you saying that
somebody from the Bureau's behind this?
Copy !req
132. Maybe, maybe not.
Just always best to cover your ass.
Copy !req
133. Sorry.
Copy !req
134. This was just faxed.
Copy !req
135. It's a copy of John Barnett's
last will and testament.
Copy !req
136. No surviving relatives.
Copy !req
137. Left what little he had to another prisoner,
a Joe Crandall,
Copy !req
138. .. and instructions to be cremated.
Copy !req
139. His will was executed
six months after his death...
Copy !req
140. .. and this states that his ashes were spread
along the bank of the Delaware River...
Copy !req
141. ..by an employee of the crematory
used by the prison.
Copy !req
142. Somebody's messing with your head.
Copy !req
143. Killing a salesclerk just to leave me a note?
Copy !req
144. I'd say that's going a little out of your way.
Copy !req
145. He's older now.
He may have put on some weight.
Copy !req
146. - How much older?
- Five years.
Copy !req
147. He could be wearing any kind of disguise.
Copy !req
148. Take us back to the day
in question.
Copy !req
149. Was it your impression, Agent Mulder, that
John Barnett took a perverse pleasure...
Copy !req
150. ..in his crimes?
Copy !req
151. Didn't he send you notes to taunt you?
Copy !req
152. Yes, I felt that he was daring us
to catch him.
Copy !req
153. That he killed his victims
almost as if it were part of a game.
Copy !req
154. Describe for the court,
if you would, Agent Mulder,
Copy !req
155. .. what happened
when you finally caught John Barnett.
Copy !req
156. We had a customs warehouse
at the airport staked out.
Copy !req
157. We knew Barnett had someone
working for the armored car transport...
Copy !req
158. .. tipping them off
about large cash shipments.
Copy !req
159. But we never figured
he'd be inside the vehicle when it arrived.
Copy !req
160. That's how Barnett was able
to take the driver of the vehicle hostage.
Copy !req
161. In other words, John Barnett
used his own accomplice as a hostage?
Copy !req
162. Yes, ma'am.
Copy !req
163. And then what happened?
Copy !req
164. We surrounded Barnett and we ordered him
to surrender his hostage and his weapon.
Copy !req
165. And where were you at this time,
Agent Mulder?
Copy !req
166. I was right behind Barnett.
Copy !req
167. With a clear shot of the suspect?
Copy !req
168. Yes, ma'am.
Copy !req
169. But you didn't fire. Why?
Copy !req
170. No. It's against FBI regulations
Copy !req
171. to unnecessarily endanger
the life of a hostage.
Copy !req
172. And I thought that
with no means of escape...
Copy !req
173. .. Barnett would give up.
Copy !req
174. But what happened instead?
Copy !req
175. The suspect, uh... John Barnett,
Copy !req
176. .. fired his weapon point-blank
at his hostage...
Copy !req
177. .. and then he turned his gun on
Steve Wallenberg.
Copy !req
178. Shot him in the face.
Copy !req
179. Thank you, Agent Mulder.
Copy !req
180. No further questions at this time.
Copy !req
181. He gunned him down just for spite.
Copy !req
182. Your Honour, we object!
Copy !req
183. This was a man
with a wife and two small children,
Copy !req
184. .. and you shot him without...
hesitation, without a conscience...
Copy !req
185. - .. or humanity!
- Your Honour, do something!
Copy !req
186. Which is why you should die like an animal,
you son of a bitch!
Copy !req
187. If you do not stop,
it will be contempt of court. Order!
Copy !req
188. If there's not order,
I will be forced to clear the courtroom!
Copy !req
189. Your Honour,
this is inflammatory against the defendant.
Copy !req
190. - I ask that it be stricken from the record.
- Duly noted.
Copy !req
191. The jury will disregard
the witness's last statement.
Copy !req
192. I'll... get... you.
Copy !req
193. - I'll need print-outs of every variation.
- Right.
Copy !req
194. I just got off the phone with the prison.
Copy !req
195. - What did they come up with?
- No, I called them on a hunch.
Copy !req
196. Barnett died of a heart attack.
Or so it says on his death certificate.
Copy !req
197. Well, I had them fax me
all of his medical records.
Copy !req
198. Barnett was admitted to the prison
infirmary for an infection in his right hand.
Copy !req
199. There isn't any indication or diagnosis
of coronary complications.
Copy !req
200. In fact, on his physical six months earlier
he was given a clean bill of health.
Copy !req
201. Crandall, someone to see you.
Copy !req
202. I don't get many visitors.
Copy !req
203. - You knew John Barnett?
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
204. How well did you know him?
Copy !req
205. Pretty well.
Copy !req
206. He left you everything in his will. You must
have known him better than "pretty well".
Copy !req
207. I used to change his bandages
and we just got to... know each other.
Copy !req
208. Are you aware that Barnett died of
cardiac arrest in this facility in 1989?
Copy !req
209. - Cardiac arrest! Where's it say that?
- On his death certificate.
Copy !req
210. He ain't dead, is he?
Copy !req
211. Why do you say that?
Copy !req
212. Last time I saw John Barnett
was right in that room over there.
Copy !req
213. Doctor with a knife
took his bad hand clean off.
Copy !req
214. - What doctor?
- Was it Dr Ridley?
Copy !req
215. Yeah, it was Dr Ridley. That's the one.
Copy !req
216. He told me Johnny was dead, but...
I knew it was a lie.
Copy !req
217. He put a knife up under my chin
just for asking.
Copy !req
218. How could you tell Barnett wasn't dead?
Copy !req
219. I saw him looking at me.
Copy !req
220. I saw him blink.
Copy !req
221. I'll never forget those eyes.
Copy !req
222. What are you gonna do?
Copy !req
223. I know what I'm not gonna do.
Copy !req
224. I'm not gonna wait for Barnett
to send me another valentine.
Copy !req
225. You mean the ghost of John Barnett?
Copy !req
226. I didn't know you believed in ghosts, Scully.
Copy !req
227. Hello?
Copy !req
228. Yeah, just a minute.
Copy !req
229. It's for you.
Copy !req
230. Mulder.
Copy !req
231. Fox Mulder.
Copy !req
232. - Barnett?
- I'll run a trace.
Copy !req
233. - You sound surprised.
- You know, uh...
Copy !req
234. Shouldn't I be?
Copy !req
235. You know, it's illegal
to tape another's phone call...
Copy !req
236. .. without their express permission.
Copy !req
237. Isn't that what they call it?
Copy !req
238. In some states.
Copy !req
239. What makes you think I'm taping you?
Copy !req
240. Same thing makes me think
you're tracing this call.
Copy !req
241. What state are you in?
Copy !req
242. Same state you are!
Copy !req
243. I stood next to you in line
for coffee this morning.
Copy !req
244. I don't think so.
Copy !req
245. Man, I'm everywhere you are.
Copy !req
246. Everywhere.
Copy !req
247. I own you.
Copy !req
248. How do I know it's really you?
Copy !req
249. What did I say to you in the courtroom?
Copy !req
250. Did you ever doubt me?
Copy !req
251. I don't know. What did you tell me?
Copy !req
252. Huh! If you think you're gonna keep me
on this phone with this... clumsy act...
Copy !req
253. Listen, by all accounts,
John Barnett is a dead man.
Copy !req
254. Oh,
you're the dead man, Mulder!
Copy !req
255. Fine. I just need confirmation
that you are who you say you are.
Copy !req
256. You want confirmation,
Copy !req
257. ..you got it.
Copy !req
258. Barnett... You there?
Copy !req
259. - You lost him?
- Yeah, he was hip to the trace.
Copy !req
260. Was it Barnett?
Copy !req
261. John Barnett was from New Hampshire.
He had a slight accent.
Copy !req
262. Listen to this.
Copy !req
263. Fine. I just need confirmation
that you are who you say you are.
Copy !req
264. You want confirmation, you got it.
Copy !req
265. - What did he mean by that?
- I don't know, but that is... John Barnett.
Copy !req
266. I'm sure of it.
Copy !req
267. - Yeah?
- Reggie, it's Mulder.
Copy !req
268. What do you want?
It's the middle of the night.
Copy !req
269. It's only 10.45, Reggie.
Copy !req
270. Yeah, well, I was sleeping.
Copy !req
271. Listen, it doesn't look like
Barnett's dead after all.
Copy !req
272. Now what?
Copy !req
273. I got an inmate at the prison who swears he
saw Barnett alive the night they say he died.
Copy !req
274. Mulder,
Copy !req
275. .. go home.
Copy !req
276. Get some rest.
Copy !req
277. Just one thing doesn't make sense to me.
Copy !req
278. What's that?
Copy !req
279. Agent Henderson said that
that note left at the jewelery store...
Copy !req
280. - .. was written by a right-hander.
- Yeah. So?
Copy !req
281. This inmate swears he saw
Barnett's right hand amputated.
Copy !req
282. Argh!
Copy !req
283. Reggie, are you there?
Copy !req
284. Hey, Reggie!
Copy !req
285. Reggie, what's goin' on?
Copy !req
286. Are you there?
Copy !req
287. What the hell's goin' on, Reggie?
Copy !req
288. Reggie!
Copy !req
289. What happened? Hey, Reggie!
Copy !req
290. Reggie! What's going on? Are you there?
Copy !req
291. What the hell's goin' on, Reggie?
Copy !req
292. I hope you brought your fine-tooth comb.
I want every piece of lint analysed.
Copy !req
293. If nothing turns up, run it through again.
Copy !req
294. Mulder.
Copy !req
295. His wife died of cancer six years ago.
He never liked to talk about it.
Copy !req
296. As long as I knew him,
he was working on a mystery novel.
Copy !req
297. He promised to show me it, but he never
did. I think he was afraid I wouldn't like it.
Copy !req
298. I'm probably the only guy in the Bureau
he trusted enough to even ask.
Copy !req
299. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
300. I'm just thinking how different
things would have been if I'd shot Barnett.
Copy !req
301. Mulder,
Copy !req
302. .. we're still not 100 per cent sure this is him.
Copy !req
303. Fresh ink, slightly smeared.
Copy !req
304. I hate to tell you,
and I'm not known to be wrong,
Copy !req
305. .. but this note was most certainly written
by a right-handed person.
Copy !req
306. You see the pressure points
inside the pen grooves?
Copy !req
307. It's a dead giveaway.
Copy !req
308. Would you be able to tell if this was written
by somebody using a prosthetic hand?
Copy !req
309. Well, this fella -
Copy !req
310. .. and I'm assuming from the cursive figures
that it is a male suspect -
Copy !req
311. .. he has a fairly nice, fluid style.
Copy !req
312. Judging from the pressure variations
in the connectors,
Copy !req
313. .. they would need good finger dexterity.
You won't get that with a prosthesis.
Copy !req
314. You think it's the same person
that wrote the first note?
Copy !req
315. Uh-huh.
Copy !req
316. This the guy you think killed Agent Purdue?
Copy !req
317. Yeah.
Copy !req
318. Know what occurred to me?
Copy !req
319. You never got any prints off those notes.
Copy !req
320. If this guy was wearing a glove on his pen
hand, note wouldn't be smeared like it is.
Copy !req
321. For what it's worth.
Copy !req
322. I was just trying to find you. Listen to this.
Copy !req
323. According to the AMA, Dr Ridley,
who signed Barnett's death certificate,
Copy !req
324. .. hasn't officially been a doctor since 1979.
Copy !req
325. - What do you mean?
- His membership wasn't renewed...
Copy !req
326. .. after Maryland State revoked his
medical licence for research malpractice...
Copy !req
327. .. and misuse of a government grant.
Copy !req
328. - Where does it say that?
- The National Institute of Health's journal.
Copy !req
329. What kind of research?
Copy !req
330. He was conducting experiments on children
afflicted with a disease called progeria.
Copy !req
331. The patient, you see,
is an eight-year-old girl...
Copy !req
332. .. suffering from
the advanced stages of progeria.
Copy !req
333. She looks about 90.
Copy !req
334. Only about 100 cases have ever been
reported, so the disease is rare.
Copy !req
335. But fatal.
Copy !req
336. Some patients make it to early adulthood.
Copy !req
337. Others become terminal
aged seven or eight.
Copy !req
338. What's the cause of death?
Copy !req
339. Clinically it's cardiac or
cerebral vascular disease, but actually...
Copy !req
340. .. these poor kids die of old age.
Copy !req
341. Is that Dr Ridley?
Copy !req
342. Yes. In 1974.
Copy !req
343. Joe Ridley thought that he could take
their accelerated ageing and slow it down.
Copy !req
344. Initially, some of his lab work
was promising,
Copy !req
345. but then things got out of control.
Copy !req
346. He wanted to begin human trials.
Copy !req
347. Why wasn't he allowed to?
Copy !req
348. Because he hadn't met the criteria.
Copy !req
349. It was all too hypothetical, too dangerous!
I mean...
Copy !req
350. I knew Joe Ridley.
He didn't care about those kids.
Copy !req
351. He talked about them
as if they were laboratory animals.
Copy !req
352. This terrible disease, progeria -
he saw it as a wonderful opportunity.
Copy !req
353. He used those exact words with me once.
An "opportunity" to unlock all the secrets.
Copy !req
354. When they refused to allow
the human trials, he became enraged.
Copy !req
355. Do you know what they called Joe Ridley
behind his back?
Copy !req
356. - What?
- Dr Mengele.
Copy !req
357. So how did Dr Ridley
eventually lose his medical licence?
Copy !req
358. He went ahead with
the human trials secretly,
Copy !req
359. .. on an outpatient basis.
Copy !req
360. When we learnt about it,
we terminated his grant...
Copy !req
361. .. and filed charges
with the state medical boards.
Copy !req
362. I'm afraid your colleague Dr Ridley
has dropped off the face of the earth.
Copy !req
363. Yeah, although it's rumoured he went
to South America to continue his work.
Copy !req
364. - You don't just reverse ageing.
- Ridley's found a way.
Copy !req
365. He wanted human research subjects, right?
Prisoners like John Barnett.
Copy !req
366. It's science fiction.
Copy !req
367. What would you have said 20 years ago
about gene splicing? DNA fingerprinting?
Copy !req
368. Cloning? Artificial intelligence?
Copy !req
369. Maybe the man's not in his late forties.
Copy !req
370. Maybe John Barnett
has found the perfect disguise: youth.
Copy !req
371. I wanna age him backwards now.
Let's start with ten years.
Copy !req
372. Now five years more.
Copy !req
373. And add 20 pounds.
Copy !req
374. A healthy 20 pounds.
Copy !req
375. Ridley's notes from
the human trials at NIH...
Copy !req
376. .. indicate he didn't see ageing as inevitable,
but as an opportunistic disease.
Copy !req
377. A disease that could be prevented,
reversed even,
Copy !req
378. ..by changing the chemical cues
that trigger certain genes.
Copy !req
379. However, there is no evidence whatsoever
that Ridley's work yielded any results,
Copy !req
380. .. or that his theories,
all hope to the contrary, hold any validity.
Copy !req
381. According to scientific journals, projections
on this kind of genetic engineering...
Copy !req
382. .. are at best speculative and futuristic.
Copy !req
383. Who is it?
Copy !req
384. Dr Joe Ridley.
Copy !req
385. If you're really Dr Joseph Ridley, where
have you been for the past five years?
Copy !req
386. I originally continued my research
in Mexico,
Copy !req
387. .. but for the last three years I spent my time
in Central America. In Belize, to be exact.
Copy !req
388. What about Barnett?
Copy !req
389. He's the only patient left.
The only one who survived the experiments.
Copy !req
390. What about you?
Copy !req
391. My appearance is deceiving.
Copy !req
392. I have no more than a month to live as I am
dying from a rare cerebral vascular disease.
Copy !req
393. The disease that kills kids with progeria?
Copy !req
394. That's right.
Copy !req
395. An unfortunate side effect of the treatment.
Copy !req
396. By using the genetic
components of progeria,
Copy !req
397. ..I was able to reverse the ageing process
in the same way the disease expedited it.
Copy !req
398. At the same time, I and my patients
became susceptible to the same ailments...
Copy !req
399. ..a child of six or eight would
if he had the disease.
Copy !req
400. What about Barnett?
Copy !req
401. John Barnett.
Copy !req
402. If I didn't so personally detest the man,
Copy !req
403. ..I might call him my one triumph.
Copy !req
404. Barnett's not dying?
Copy !req
405. Only his eyes - which, for some reason,
Copy !req
406. ..do not respond to the gene therapy.
Copy !req
407. Otherwise,
John Barnett appears to be thriving.
Copy !req
408. But how?
Copy !req
409. I varied Barnett's treatment.
Copy !req
410. Once I isolated the progeria receptors,
I stumbled on something quite unexpected.
Copy !req
411. These same genes
related to myelin production.
Copy !req
412. The material that insulates
neurons in the body.
Copy !req
413. Yes.
Copy !req
414. Myelin is not present in the very young,
Copy !req
415. .. and by reversing the effects of ageing
I found with Barnett,
Copy !req
416. ..I was able to regulate
the production of myelin.
Copy !req
417. Myelin being the material
that prohibits you or I from, say,
Copy !req
418. .. regenerating a new hand
if we were to have ours... cut... off.
Copy !req
419. You were able to grow
John Barnett a new hand?
Copy !req
420. Not exactly.
Copy !req
421. Not a human hand anyway.
Copy !req
422. I could never get the cells
to divide or behave properly.
Copy !req
423. I-I'm afraid to ask.
Copy !req
424. - What kind of hand did you grow?
- There'd been successful work in London.
Copy !req
425. By taking samples
of what we call cell morphogens...
Copy !req
426. .. from an amputated salamander arm and
applying them to the back of the creature,
Copy !req
427. .. they could grow a new limb
on a different part of the body.
Copy !req
428. But only on salamanders.
Copy !req
429. - Until John Barnett?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
430. - Unbelievable.
- My work has cost me dearly.
Copy !req
431. I'm an outcast in the medical community.
Copy !req
432. I was called Dr Mengele, Dr Frankenstein,
but I didn't care.
Copy !req
433. Because you knew that
if your theories panned out...
Copy !req
434. The man who owns the fountain of youth
controls the world.
Copy !req
435. When the AMA censured me, certain
sponsors came out of the woodwork.
Copy !req
436. One of them was the US government.
Copy !req
437. They financed your research?
Copy !req
438. You might be more surprised to learn
Copy !req
439. how high up the ladder
this dirty little secret goes.
Copy !req
440. I know why you've contacted me.
Listen and I'll explain.
Copy !req
441. I am not proud of the way
in which this matter was handled,
Copy !req
442. .. but, like it or not,
John Barnett is a fact of life.
Copy !req
443. I wish Agent Purdue were around
to appreciate the irony.
Copy !req
444. The government knew full well
that Barnett was in the country.
Copy !req
445. You, of course, know
that Barnett stole all of Ridley's research.
Copy !req
446. What Ridley doesn't know
Copy !req
447. is our government is bargaining
with Barnett to buy it from him.
Copy !req
448. What does he want?
Copy !req
449. A lot of money, immunity, safe haven.
Copy !req
450. Will he get it?
Copy !req
451. He holds all the cards.
Copy !req
452. You're aware that this... freak of science
you're negotiating with is a murderer?
Copy !req
453. The information he has...
Copy !req
454. .. could change the course of mankind.
Consider the options.
Copy !req
455. I will.
Copy !req
456. Hi, this is Dana Scully.
Copy !req
457. Please leave a message after the tone.
Copy !req
458. Retrieving messages.
Copy !req
459. Hi, Dana. It's Mom. I just wanted to call
and say hi. Um, give me a call whenever.
Copy !req
460. OK, hon. Bye-bye.
Copy !req
461. Hi, Dana. It's Kathy. I hope
you'll still meet me before my cello recital.
Copy !req
462. What's that?
Copy !req
463. It's my private answering machine,
or at least it used to be.
Copy !req
464. Meaning?
Copy !req
465. This morning I heard someone dialing in my
private code and replaying my messages.
Copy !req
466. Last night I could have sworn
someone was in my apartment,
Copy !req
467. .. but when Ridley knocked
I thought I'd mistaken the noise for him.
Copy !req
468. - Scully...
- I took this down to Prints before I came up.
Copy !req
469. John Barnett's left index oblique
is on the underside of this unit.
Copy !req
470. Mulder.
Copy !req
471. Barnett?
Copy !req
472. Mmm...
Copy !req
473. Your new friend - Ridley.
Copy !req
474. Don't grow too fond of him.
Copy !req
475. He's gonna die soon,
like the rest of your friends.
Copy !req
476. The rest of my friends?
Copy !req
477. One by one.
Copy !req
478. You're not that smart.
Copy !req
479. Tell me, you're not gonna make me
prove it to you again, are you?
Copy !req
480. Oh, well, no matter.
It'll be your turn soon enough.
Copy !req
481. But you won't get that chance.
Copy !req
482. Oh, no?
Copy !req
483. Who's gonna stop me, huh?
Copy !req
484. Man! This is... this is the land of the free!
Copy !req
485. Well, I'm just checking in.
Copy !req
486. Bye...
Copy !req
487. .. for now.
Copy !req
488. What does Barnett know
from your messages?
Copy !req
489. Uh, that my mother called for no reason and
I'm meeting a friend before her cello recital.
Copy !req
490. Where's that?
Copy !req
491. We're working at a disadvantage
Copy !req
492. because we don't know
exactly what Barnett looks like.
Copy !req
493. Study each of these faces. Know them.
Copy !req
494. - Particularly the eyes.
- I'm including a diagram of the theater.
Copy !req
495. You have six front entrances
and four more backstage.
Copy !req
496. If he shows he'll key on Scully, so wherever
she is, she should not leave your sight.
Copy !req
497. We've got two hours
before the performance.
Copy !req
498. Know this place inside and out.
Copy !req
499. We don't want any shots fired, if we can
help it. We want to take Barnett alive.
Copy !req
500. OK?
Copy !req
501. How you feelin'?
Copy !req
502. This is the first time
I've ever played the target.
Copy !req
503. Well, let's make sure it's not the last time.
Copy !req
504. Gun!
Copy !req
505. Down!
Copy !req
506. Check her out!
Copy !req
507. Get back, Mulder! Shut up!
Copy !req
508. Back off! Back off!
Copy !req
509. Don't even think about it.
Copy !req
510. Just let her go.
Copy !req
511. Go ahead and shoot!
Copy !req
512. Go ahead, man! Shoot, Mulder.
Copy !req
513. What are you afraid of, huh?
Copy !req
514. What? It's against regulations, huh?
Copy !req
515. No, man, you need me alive, don't you?
Copy !req
516. Cos I'm the only one
who knows where the research is, huh?
Copy !req
517. So I could shoot her...
Copy !req
518. .. and you just have to live with it,
don't you, huh?
Copy !req
519. Shut up!
Copy !req
520. How about it, Mulder?
Copy !req
521. Just like old times, huh?
Copy !req
522. Huh?
Copy !req
523. - Call an ambulance!
- I'll do it!
Copy !req
524. Hear me? It's OK, Scully.
An ambulance is on the way.
Copy !req
525. Easy. You all right?
Copy !req
526. Don't try to move.
Copy !req
527. Where are they?
Copy !req
528. Can you hear me? Barnett?
Copy !req
529. Where did you hide them?
Copy !req
530. - How you feeling?
- Like somebody kicked me in the ribs.
Copy !req
531. The bullet went through eight layers
of Kevlar. You're lucky to be alive.
Copy !req
532. What about him?
Copy !req
533. They flew in three specialists
to save his life.
Copy !req
534. That guy in the ugly suit is probably CIA.
Copy !req
535. He's been trying to talk to him.
Copy !req
536. - Is Barnett conscious?
- Yeah, but he's not talking.
Copy !req
537. Mulder, I know what you did
wasn't by the book.
Copy !req
538. Tells you a lot about the book, doesn't it?
Copy !req
539. Where is it? Barnett! Come on!
Copy !req
540. Where are the papers?
Copy !req
541. 50 over palp. Vitals dropping.
Copy !req
542. - OK, we're gonna have to hit him.
- Intubate.
Copy !req
543. Come on! Come on! Shock him.
Copy !req
544. Shock him now!
Copy !req
545. Got no pulse, no rhythm.
Copy !req
546. They lost him.
Copy !req
547. Bastard'll take that research
with him to the grave.
Copy !req
548. Where do you think it is?
Copy !req
549. Who knows?
Copy !req
550. If Barnett didn't destroy it,
he could have stashed it anywhere.
Copy !req
551. Which would have a certain cruel irony.
Copy !req
552. Scientific knowledge
that could change the course of mankind...
Copy !req
553. .. buried out in a field somewhere,
or sitting in some safe deposit box,
Copy !req
554. .. getting old just like the rest of us.
Copy !req
555. If he didn't destroy it, chances are
somehow, someday, somebody will find it.
Copy !req
556. And when they do, maybe he didn't
get his revenge from beyond the grave,
Copy !req
557. .. but somehow I feel like we haven 't heard
the last from John Barnett.
Copy !req
558. I made this!
Copy !req
