1. I'm not a killer.
And I never meant to hurt no one.Copy !req
2. But I'm tired of my cattle being butchered
a hundred miles from the slaughterhouse.Copy !req
3. That's the fourth one this month.Copy !req
4. Who or what do you think was responsible?Copy !req
5. That cow was like
a shredded piece of paper.Copy !req
6. No animal could have done that.Copy !req
7. Then are you saying that a person,
or persons, was responsible for this?Copy !req
8. I want to remind you that
Mr Parker is free on bond, pending trial.Copy !req
9. He's speaking with you
solely in regards to this incident...Copy !req
10. .. and not about any other pending litigation.Copy !req
11. So we can't talk about his court case
against the Trego Indian Reservation?Copy !req
12. That's exactly what I mean.Copy !req
13. - Wait a damn second!
- Jim, don't say a word.Copy !req
14. Forget that lawyer crap.
I wanna get this out in the open!Copy !req
15. You think I killed an Indian...Copy !req
16. - .. just because we're arguing about land!
- We wanna settle that peacefully, in court.Copy !req
17. Well, Joseph Goodensnake is dead
with a wound from your shotgun.Copy !req
18. All I'm saying,
it was no kind of animal that I know of.Copy !req
19. It damn well didn't seem human neither!Copy !req
20. Take a look at my boy's scars.Copy !req
21. It was dark.Copy !req
22. We heard a growl.
We went out to protect the cattle.Copy !req
23. I could've swore I saw...Copy !req
24. ..red eyes and fangs.Copy !req
25. I thought my boy Lyle was...Copy !req
26. Look, nobody, nobody...Copy !req
27. .. was more shocked and upset than I was
to find out it was that young Indian boy.Copy !req
28. But if he killed our cattle,Copy !req
29. ..I'm very, very sorry that
we had to find out about it that way.Copy !req
30. But as far as I'm concerned,
that's the end of it!Copy !req
31. - Can we see the corral?
- I'll take you out there.Copy !req
32. - Agent Mulder?
- Yeah?Copy !req
33. Agent Scully?Copy !req
34. I suppose if I were hearin'
our side of the story,Copy !req
35. ..it might not hold up too well.Copy !req
36. Parts of it I don't understand myself, things
my father could never explain to a stranger.Copy !req
37. What kinds of things?Copy !req
38. For the last few months, whenever we'd
go out at night and check on the cattle,Copy !req
39. .. we never saw anything
out of the ordinary -Copy !req
40. not a mountain lion, not a coyote.Copy !req
41. Not even any Tregos, Agent Scully.Copy !req
42. But I could feel it,Copy !req
43. .. something not human,Copy !req
44. .. out there,Copy !req
45. .. watching me.Copy !req
46. The air was more still...Copy !req
47. .. and the night animals more quiet.Copy !req
48. It was like nature herself was terrified.Copy !req
49. It gave me the creeps.Copy !req
50. The creeps?Copy !req
51. Yeah.Copy !req
52. The creeps. Don't you ever get the creeps?Copy !req
53. The victim was shot there.Copy !req
54. About three meters from where Parker fired.Copy !req
55. There's no way he could have
mistaken a person for an animal.Copy !req
56. It's open and shut, Mulder.Copy !req
57. You know, I'm surprised
you volunteered for this assignment.Copy !req
58. Any Bureau agent could have
investigated this homicide.Copy !req
59. Why are you interested?Copy !req
60. Well, there seems to be nothing
unexplainable about this case.Copy !req
61. Nope.Copy !req
62. Not a thing.Copy !req
63. Mulder, this is so odd. It's almost like
a snake skin that's been shed.Copy !req
64. I suspect the Parkers killed Goodensnake,Copy !req
65. but they don't seem the type
to skin their victim.Copy !req
66. Besides which, police and coroner's report
make no mention of it.Copy !req
67. We're going to have to
take a look at the body ourselves.Copy !req
68. The body's with
the reservation authorities.Copy !req
69. We're supposed to get in touch with, uh...Copy !req
70. .. Sheriff Charlie Tskany.Copy !req
71. Excuse me, we're not from around here.
We're looking for Sheriff Tskany.Copy !req
72. Anyone know Charlie Tskany?Copy !req
73. Go home, FBI.Copy !req
74. How'd you know?Copy !req
75. I could smell you a mile away.Copy !req
76. They told me that even though
my deodorant is for a woman,Copy !req
77. it's strong enough for a man.Copy !req
78. I was at Wounded Knee in 1973.Copy !req
79. And what I learned fighting the FBI is...Copy !req
80. ..you don't believe in us...
and we don't believe in you.Copy !req
81. I want to believe.Copy !req
82. Why are you here?
What are you looking for?Copy !req
83. You already know what we're looking for.Copy !req
84. - You tell me what I know.
- We're looking for any individuals...Copy !req
85. .. who have information on the homicide of...Copy !req
86. We're looking for anything
that can create human tracks in one step...Copy !req
87. .. and animal tracks in the next.Copy !req
88. Parker...Copy !req
89. He found what you're looking for.Copy !req
90. He killed what you're looking for, FBI.Copy !req
91. What Parker and his kid killed
was my brother!Copy !req
92. And you're all too afraid of some stupid
Indian legend to do anything! I hate it!Copy !req
93. Gwen!Copy !req
94. I hate suits who are here when they
want something, but if we need help...Copy !req
95. .. they're nowhere to be found.Copy !req
96. Sheriff Tskany?Copy !req
97. I'm Agent Scully and this is Agent Mulder.Copy !req
98. Goodensnake's body is in my office.Copy !req
99. Bill, Tom,Copy !req
100. .. let 'em through.Copy !req
101. Come on, boys, let 'em through.Copy !req
102. - Who are they?
- Guardians of the dead.Copy !req
103. They escort the deceased spirits
to the new world.Copy !req
104. I only let them as far as the front door.Copy !req
105. I keep the ancient beliefs out there
and the police work in here.Copy !req
106. The woman in the pool hall said that
people were afraid of some Indian legend.Copy !req
107. What do they believe about the Parker case?Copy !req
108. I'm not a park ranger here
to answer all your questions about Indians.Copy !req
109. Whenever I need federal help, I never get it!Copy !req
110. Since this case falls under the jurisdiction of
the FBI, you're entitled to examine the body.Copy !req
111. So let's get it over with.Copy !req
112. - Was the woman in the pool hall his sister?
- Gwen.Copy !req
113. She and Joe were primarily responsible for
fueling the boundary dispute with Parker.Copy !req
114. They felt that he'd been grazing his cattle
too far onto the reservation.Copy !req
115. Parker probably told you
he wanted to settle in court,Copy !req
116. .. but Joe and Gwen filed the suit.Copy !req
117. Take a look at that scar tissue.Copy !req
118. Yeah.Copy !req
119. Looks like an animal attack as well.Copy !req
120. Could Joe have been attacked?Copy !req
121. - Maybe the Parkers did see an animal.
- No.Copy !req
122. Those wounds have been healing
for quite some time.Copy !req
123. The shotgun wound
indicates point-blank range.Copy !req
124. The pellets entered the body
in a single mass.Copy !req
125. The assailant couldn't have been
more than three feet away.Copy !req
126. We need to take a look at
Joe Goodensnake's dental records.Copy !req
127. These are the canine cuspids.
They're normal.Copy !req
128. Maybe his records
were switched or misplaced.Copy !req
129. The second incisor is chipped,
just like the ones in his mouth.Copy !req
130. These match Joe Goodensnake's.Copy !req
131. There are cases of calcium phosphate salts
developing abnormally with age, but...Copy !req
132. That could account for what Jim Parker
claims to have seen. He was out that night...Copy !req
133. .. expecting to see a mountain lion. He gets
rattled and the flashlight catches Joe here.Copy !req
134. So Parker saw what he wanted to see -
an animal.Copy !req
135. Lyle was attacked. He has scars just like
Joe. Is there a facility where we can...Copy !req
136. - .. perform an autopsy?
- Why?Copy !req
137. If his teeth are abnormal,Copy !req
138. an autopsy might reveal
abnormalities in his internal anatomy.Copy !req
139. I can't allow that.Copy !req
140. - I'm fully qualified.
- No, I can't let you do an autopsy.Copy !req
141. - The funeral is tonight.
- It's a cremation. Then we'll have nothing.Copy !req
142. The Tregos believe that the recent dead are
unsettled by their new condition as spirits.Copy !req
143. Any desecration of the body angers the
spirit and keeps it haunting this world.Copy !req
144. But as a law enforcement officer,
you can't destroy evidence.Copy !req
145. Don't tell me what I can't do.Copy !req
146. Native Americans believe there are laws
greater than that of the US Government.Copy !req
147. If they want Joe at rest,Copy !req
148. rather than used as a piece of evidence,
that's how it's gonna be.Copy !req
149. If you want to make an issue out of it,
you're a higher authority, go right ahead.Copy !req
150. Charlie?Copy !req
151. Do you believe that the spirit of
Joe Goodensnake is in that room?Copy !req
152. All I know is...Copy !req
153. .. tomorrow, the day after,Copy !req
154. ..you're gonna leave.Copy !req
155. But I have to stay here.Copy !req
156. I've gotta answer to these people.Copy !req
157. You can continue your investigation,
but without Joe Goodensnake's body.Copy !req
158. Mulder, since we've been here...Copy !req
159. ..you've acted as if you've expected to find
all the evidence that we've come across.Copy !req
160. What aren't you telling me?Copy !req
161. Why are we here?Copy !req
162. A true piece of history, Scully.Copy !req
163. The very first X-File.
Initiated by J Edgar Hoover himself in 1946.Copy !req
164. In World War II, a series of murders
occurred in the Northwest,Copy !req
165. seven here in Browning.Copy !req
166. Each victim was basically ripped to shreds
and eaten as if by a wild animal.Copy !req
167. However, many of the victims were found at
home, as if they allowed their killer to enter.Copy !req
168. In 1946, police cornered what they
believed to be such an animal in a cabin...Copy !req
169. ..in Glacier National Park.Copy !req
170. They shot it.Copy !req
171. But when they went in
to retrieve the carcass,Copy !req
172. they found only the body
of Richard Watkins.Copy !req
173. - Sounds like the Parker scenario.
- The murders stopped that year.Copy !req
174. Because the cases were unsolved
and considered so bizarre,Copy !req
175. .. Hoover locked them away,
hoping that they would be forgotten.Copy !req
176. This file indicates that
they started again in 1954.Copy !req
177. And '59, '64, '78,Copy !req
178. .. and now again in '94.Copy !req
179. - But...
- Here it comes.Copy !req
180. .. these animal-man related murders
predate the oldest X-File by 150 years.Copy !req
181. Members of the Lewis and Clark expedition
wrote of Indian men...Copy !req
182. .. who could change into a wolf.Copy !req
183. Mulder, what this... what this folder
describes is called lycanthropy.Copy !req
184. It's a type of insanity in which...Copy !req
185. .. an individual believes
that he can turn into a wolf.Copy !req
186. I mean, no one...Copy !req
187. .. can physically change into an animal!Copy !req
188. What about the evidence?
Tracks in the mud, the shredded skin,Copy !req
189. - ..a man with the teeth of an animal.
- Even if you're right...Copy !req
190. .. and Joe Goodensnake did have the ability
to transform physically into an animal,Copy !req
191. .. he's dead! Jim Parker shot him...Copy !req
192. .. and in a couple of moments
his body will be burned.Copy !req
193. End of mystery.Copy !req
194. Let's hope so.Copy !req
195. You don't belong here.Copy !req
196. - Gwen...
- You're only around to wrap up your case.Copy !req
197. I just wanted to say that
I'm sorry about your brother.Copy !req
198. I feel sad for anyone
who loses a part of their family.Copy !req
199. A part?Copy !req
200. He was my whole family.Copy !req
201. I'm it now.Copy !req
202. As a demonstration of sorrow...Copy !req
203. ..I'm supposed to give away
all my brother's possessions.Copy !req
204. Gwen, I don't know what to say.Copy !req
205. - Um...
- It's no big deal.Copy !req
206. He had more possessions
than he had friends.Copy !req
207. I read the report of your investigation
into the Goodensnake homicide.Copy !req
208. It was very good.Copy !req
209. It was thorough, professional.Copy !req
210. But what I want to know is off the record.Copy !req
211. What do you think really happened?Copy !req
212. Your explanation, Agent Mulder,
is lying on that burial platform.Copy !req
213. Why don't you just accept that
and go home?Copy !req
214. Charlie, do you believe in shape-shifting?Copy !req
215. This is a funeral.Copy !req
216. - Get out of here!
- Please, I want to show my respects.Copy !req
217. I don't want your respects!
I want your heart to grow cold.Copy !req
218. I want you to feel what I'm feeling!Copy !req
219. I think you'd better leave, Mr Parker.Copy !req
220. I wish your brother could be here.
I wish that more than anything else.Copy !req
221. The body's been mutilated. I'd say
he's been attacked by a large predator.Copy !req
222. Or somebody wanted it to look that way.Copy !req
223. Do you think this is retaliation
for Joe Goodensnake?Copy !req
224. I don't know.Copy !req
225. Have you talked to Gwen Goodensnake?
She seemed pretty upset last night.Copy !req
226. She's gone. Nobody's seen her since
the funeral. I've put an APB out on her.Copy !req
227. And what about Lyle Parker?Copy !req
228. We can't find him either.Copy !req
229. He could be dead as well.Copy !req
230. I'll take a look around.Copy !req
231. That's not from any animal I've ever seen.Copy !req
232. Sheriff, I think it's time we had a talk.Copy !req
233. Mulder!Copy !req
234. Mulder, I'm taking Lyle to the hospital.Copy !req
235. He's suffering from exposure.Copy !req
236. When he's been checked out,
I'm going to question him.Copy !req
237. What are you hiding?Copy !req
238. - I thought it was over.
- Over?Copy !req
239. Is that why you wouldn't allow an autopsy
on Joe Goodensnake's body?Copy !req
240. You thought it would all end
when he was cremated?Copy !req
241. What were you afraid we'd find?Copy !req
242. I can't tell you,Copy !req
243. .. but I'll take you to somebody who can.Copy !req
244. I'm ashamed to say it
after what happened at the funeral.Copy !req
245. I picked up some bourbon
and I don't remember a thing after that.Copy !req
246. When I'm down, I go out to where we keep
stray animals that wander in on the ranch.Copy !req
247. I just watch 'em, you know.
It keeps things in perspective.Copy !req
248. Anyway,Copy !req
249. ..my mom, when she was alive, was the one
that started keeping those animals.Copy !req
250. I guess I go out there
and think about her too.Copy !req
251. God, I must have been really wasted
to run around there naked.Copy !req
252. I must have thought
I was one of those animals.Copy !req
253. When you did go home,
did you talk to your father?Copy !req
254. No, he'd have been mad
I even went to the funeral.Copy !req
255. I have an image of him...Copy !req
256. .. sitting on the front porch, but...Copy !req
257. ..I don't remember talking to him. Why?Copy !req
258. Your father's dead.Copy !req
259. I'm sorry.Copy !req
260. It appears as if he's been...Copy !req
261. .. attacked by an animal, but...Copy !req
262. ..I suspect it may be homicide.Copy !req
263. Lyle, I lost my father recently
and I know how overwhelming...Copy !req
264. Was it my fault?Copy !req
265. By going to the funeral,
did it anger them into killing my father?Copy !req
266. I don't know.Copy !req
267. I can deal with death, you know. Livin'
on the ranch, being close to nature and all,Copy !req
268. ..you see how it all works. Things are born,
things die. Everything else falls in-between.Copy !req
269. But if I caused it...Copy !req
270. If I brought it on...Copy !req
271. I couldn't... I...Copy !req
272. I saw it once with my own eyes.Copy !req
273. It was a long time ago.Copy !req
274. It seemed like a dream.Copy !req
275. I was a boy.Copy !req
276. Was that 1946?Copy !req
277. The Watkins case?Copy !req
278. I sense you are different, FBI.Copy !req
279. You're more open to Native American belief
than some Native Americans.Copy !req
280. You even have an Indian name.Copy !req
281. Fox.Copy !req
282. You should be "Running Fox"
or "Sneaky Fox".Copy !req
283. Just as long as it's not "Spooky Fox".Copy !req
284. Now tell me, Ish, what did you see?Copy !req
285. Watkins had been attacked by an animal...Copy !req
286. .. when he was alone in the woods.Copy !req
287. His scars healed. It was forgotten.Copy !req
288. Then... the murders began.Copy !req
289. The Tregos,Copy !req
290. .. we realised that Watkins had been
attacked by what the Algonquians call...Copy !req
291. .. the manitou.Copy !req
292. An evil spirit capable of
changing a man into a beast.Copy !req
293. To be attacked by a manitou
causes the victim to become one.Copy !req
294. The healed scars
on Joe Goodensnake's body.Copy !req
295. The manitou overtakes a man by night,Copy !req
296. .. not by full moon,Copy !req
297. .. but when its blood lust
builds to uncontrollable level,Copy !req
298. .. the man changes to a sickening creature.Copy !req
299. It kills, releasing a savage energy.Copy !req
300. The man returns to his true self,Copy !req
301. .. unaware of what has happened.Copy !req
302. The cycle begins anew the next day.Copy !req
303. This continues until death.Copy !req
304. One night,Copy !req
305. .. when I was 16 years old,Copy !req
306. ..I was coming back from fishing
at the Cut Bank Creek.Copy !req
307. I knew a short out behind Watkins' house.Copy !req
308. There was a... a groan,Copy !req
309. .. not animal,Copy !req
310. .. but not human.Copy !req
311. I looked into his window.Copy !req
312. He was covered in sweat and blood.Copy !req
313. He was in a great,Copy !req
314. .. great pain.Copy !req
315. His arm, the skin ripped,Copy !req
316. ..it tore off and fell to the floor.Copy !req
317. Claws sprang from his fingernails.Copy !req
318. He turned, screaming,Copy !req
319. .. and he saw me.Copy !req
320. His eyes...Copy !req
321. His eyes were still human.Copy !req
322. They begged me to kill him.Copy !req
323. If I had been hunting and had my gun,
I'd have done it without a second thought.Copy !req
324. But being a boy...Copy !req
325. .. and scared to death,Copy !req
326. ..I ran away.Copy !req
327. Shortly after, the police killed him.Copy !req
328. But the manitou rose again.Copy !req
329. Eight years later.Copy !req
330. But with Watkins dead, how could there
have been an attack by a manitou?Copy !req
331. Watkins had a son.Copy !req
332. It can be passed along bloodlines.Copy !req
333. Gwen!Copy !req
334. If Joe Goodensnake was this creature,Copy !req
335. .. perhaps it didn't originate in him
by the first attack,Copy !req
336. .. but was handed down
through the bloodlines.Copy !req
337. Gwen could have it also.
Gwen could have killed Parker.Copy !req
338. Gwen!Copy !req
339. Hey!Copy !req
340. Agh! No! No! No!Copy !req
341. You're under arrest, Gwen,
for stealing Ish's car!Copy !req
342. What are you running away from?Copy !req
343. I saw it!Copy !req
344. I... I saw it kill Parker.Copy !req
345. Let her up.Copy !req
346. I went there... after the funeral.Copy !req
347. I was gonna mess up the kid,Copy !req
348. ..so I waited,Copy !req
349. .. but Parker was on the porch.Copy !req
350. And then this thing,Copy !req
351. .. this animal... Oh, my God!Copy !req
352. I've never been so scared.Copy !req
353. I ran and I hid in the woods all day!Copy !req
354. I wanted to get out!
I wanted to get outta here!Copy !req
355. I wanted to get outta here!Copy !req
356. Bring her inside.Copy !req
357. Thank you.Copy !req
358. Hello, this is Dr Joseph.Copy !req
359. This is Agent Mulder, FBI. I was told
I could reach Agent Scully at this number.Copy !req
360. Oh, yes. We released Lyle Parker
and she's taking him back to the ranch.Copy !req
361. - I can reach her there?
- Uh-huh. They just left.Copy !req
362. Agent Mulder,
there's something you should know.Copy !req
363. I received the blood test performed on Lyle.
Something's rather unsettling.Copy !req
364. What's that?Copy !req
365. Traces of his father's blood type.
It can only be there through ingestion.Copy !req
366. - The power's out.
- It happens to us all the time...Copy !req
367. .. being out here in the sticks.
I'll fire up the generator.Copy !req
368. Are you OK?Copy !req
369. I feel sick. Please, help me
into the bathroom.Copy !req
370. Damn! It keeps disconnecting.
The mountains must be blocking the signal.Copy !req
371. - How much farther?
- About seven miles.Copy !req
372. Lyle? Let me come in.Copy !req
373. Lyle, I want to take you
back to the hospital, OK?Copy !req
374. No!Copy !req
375. I'll be all right.Copy !req
376. Lyle?Copy !req
377. Lyle, answer me.Copy !req
378. Lyle, are you all right?Copy !req
379. Argh!Copy !req
380. Scully!Copy !req
381. - Agh!
- It's OK, it's me.Copy !req
382. It's me. I don't know what happened.
Something jumped me downstairs.Copy !req
383. - I lost my gun.
- I heard it come up here.Copy !req
384. - Come on.
- OK.Copy !req
385. Argh!Copy !req
386. Are you all right?Copy !req
387. Oh, my God!Copy !req
388. He was in the bathroom, sick.Copy !req
389. The next thing I knew
we were attacked by the mountain lion.Copy !req
390. - It wasn't the mountain lion.
- It's still in the cage out back.Copy !req
391. Where's Gwen?
She said she'd come see us before we left.Copy !req
