1. Eugene?

2. Eugene, it's Dr Monte.

3. Eugene, are you asleep?

4. No.

5. I was on my way out.

6. I wanted to stop by and see how you were feeling.

7. Fine.

8. Good.

9. You nervous about tomorrow?

10. Don't be.

11. I know you think they won't let you out, so I peeked at the reports...

12. .. of the doctors that will testify at your review.

13. They concur with my opinion that you're ready to be released...

14. Mm.

15. .. and rejoin the community.

16. So...

17. .. why don't we get some sleep and relax...

18. .. and I'll see you tomorrow at the review, OK?

19. Let's just keep our fingers crossed.

20. Agent Scully,

21. .. we have reviewed your reports and frankly we are displeased.

22. Irregular procedure, untenable evidence,

23. .. anonymous witnesses, inconclusive findings aggravated by vague opinion.

24. The nature of X-Files cases often precludes orthodox investigation.

25. Do you suggest we adopt separate standards for you and Mulder?

26. No.

27. Does Agent Mulder obstruct you from proper procedure?

28. No, sir. I'm suggesting these cases be reviewed with an open mind.

29. Maybe your mind has become too open.

30. On cases investigated by Mulder and myself to date,

31. .. we have a conviction or case solution of 75%,

32. .. well above Bureau standard.

33. That is your only saving grace.

34. May I ask, sir, what more you require?

35. What I require is increased frequency of reports,

36. .. conventional investigation.

37. In short, Agent Scully, it is your responsibility...

38. ..to see that these cases are by the book.

39. I understand. However...

40. .. conventional investigation of these cases...

41. .. may decrease the rate of success.

42. By order...

43. .. of the State of Maryland, the court shall review...

44. .. the psychological status of Eugene Victor Tooms.

45. We'll begin with the court-appointed expert witnesses.

46. The court calls...

47. .. Dr Pamela Karetzky.

48. I performed several diagnostic procedures on Mr Tooms...

49. ..in order to determine any organic physiological dysfunction.

50. An electroencephalogram,

51. .. chromosomal analysis, a computerised axial tomograph.

52. All of these were negative.

53. "Mr Tooms had recently lost his job...

54. "Aggravated by a false arrest by the FBI,

55. .. his assault on Agent Scully was...

56. ..'frustration directed at the wrong person'."

57. I am reading from a recent interview I did with Mr Tooms...

58. ..at the Druid Hill Sanitarium.

59. If you were released, what is the first thing you would do?

60. I'd like my old job back. Why?

61. The animal shelter made me feel I was helping everyone,

62. .. people and animals.

63. Mr Tooms has learned to articulate his feelings...

64. .. and invest his emotional energy and creative energy in...

65. .. stratagems he can build up in himself.

66. It is my opinion that Mr Tooms...

67. .. has had an excellent response to the treatment and therapy.

68. I would see no reason why he would be any danger...

69. ..to himself or any member of society.

70. Do you swear your testimony is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?

71. I do.

72. Mr Mulder, as an expert witness for the State of Maryland,

73. .. can you list your qualifications?

74. I'm a special agent with the FBI.

75. I worked for three years at its behavioural science unit,

76. .. profiling serial killers.

77. Your Honour, I know where he's going with this.

78. Mr Tooms was placed in psychiatric care...

79. .. solely for the assault on Agent Scully.

80. He has never been charged with any other crime.

81. You may proceed... with caution.

82. Agent Mulder, I understand...

83. ..you've drawn on your experience to profile Mr Tooms.

84. - Yes, I have. - Please.

85. These murders span nearly a century.

86. 19 homicides, five occurring every 30 years since 1903.

87. All in the Baltimore area.

88. In each case, the liver was extracted...

89. .. and presumably eaten.

90. A trophy was taken from each victim, many of which were found...

91. ..in the living quarters of Eugene Tooms at 66 Exeter Street.

92. Records show that a Eugene Tooms has resided at that same address since 1903,

93. .. the same year a man was murdered in that building.

94. Besides liver extraction,

95. .. the most notable link is the undetermined point of entry.

96. Many victims were found with their windows and doors locked from the inside.

97. These elongated fingerprints found at 7 of the 19 crime scenes...

98. Agent Mulder, look at his fingers.

99. - Look at him. - Perhaps through a genetic mutation,

100. .. Eugene Tooms is capable of elongating his body...

101. ..to access victims so he may extract the livers...

102. .. which provide sustenance for the hibernation period of 30 years.

103. - He needs one more victim. - Your Honour!

104. An exam done at the time of his arrest...

105. .. revealed muscle and bone abnormalities.

106. - His attorney blocked further study. - Thank you!

107. - Counsel? - No further questions, Your Honour.

108. - This an abnormal human creature. - Agent Mulder!

109. You may step down.

110. If you release Tooms, he will kill again. It's in his genetic make-up.

111. Think they'd have taken me more seriously if I wore the grey suit?

112. Mulder, your testimony, you sounded so...

113. I don't care as long as it was the truth.

114. Where were you?

115. - Your testimony was important. - I was called into a meeting.

116. - By Assistant Director Skinner. - What did he want?

117. He just wanted to reel me in.

118. They're ready.

119. It is the opinion of this court...

120. .. that Eugene Victor Tooms...

121. .. shall on this day be released from the Druid Hill Sanitarium.

122. The court also attaches these conditions.

123. One,

124. .. that he remain in counseling under the care of Dr Aaron Monte,

125. .. that he retain his job at Baltimore Animal Shelter, and last,

126. .. that he take residence in the house of Mr and Mrs Arlan Green, trained...

127. ..to assist patients from Druid Hill in their transition to society.

128. Mr Tooms,

129. ..do you understand and accept these conditions?

130. Yes, Your Honour.

131. Very well. You're free to go.

132. - I'm not taking my eyes off him. - Mulder...

133. He'll kill the first chance he can, but he won't kill the old couple.

134. Tooms didn't remain a secret for 100 years by not being careful.

135. He'll only kill out of necessity or self-defence.

136. If he makes an attempt, I'll stop him.

137. I'll keep surveillance with you.

138. I'll watch him. Go back to the earlier murders to prove it was him.

139. - That was 30 or 60 years ago. - Murder has no statute of limitation.

140. Mulder, that's going to entail unorthodox methods of investigation.

141. If you're resistant because you don't believe, I'll respect that.

142. If it's because of bureaucratic pressure,

143. .. they've reeled you in and skinned you.

144. I hope you'll be comfortable, Eugene.

145. The room in the back is small,

146. .. but I'm sure you'll be able to squeeze in.

147. I'm sure.

148. Excuse me... could you help me find my dog?

149. He's a NonNegian elkhound.

150. His name is Heinrich.

151. I use him to hunt moose.

152. If Tooms gets away now,

153. .. then the next time he takes a life...

154. ..you'll be nearly my age.

155. Detective Briggs, you helped us so much before.

156. Now we have to prove that Tooms was involved in the killings...

157. ..you investigated 30 years ago.

158. You've lived with this case...

159. .. half your life.

160. There must be something... maybe a connection between the victims.

161. I know we've seen all the evidence,

162. .. but is there anything, anything at all...

163. .. amongst the evidence that does not fit?

164. There was something...

165. .. that never did sit quite right with me.

166. All of the victims that I investigated in '63...

167. .. were found at the crime scene, liver extracted - all five.

168. As were the four most recent murders.

169. When I was a sheriff...

170. .. during the Pohattan Mills killings of 1933,

171. .. only four of the victims were found at the crime scene.

172. However, there was a fifth person...

173. .. who was missing and never found.

174. But this...

175. This was discovered at the Ruxton chemical plant...

176. .. when it was under construction.

177. It doesn't belong to the other victims.

178. That doesn't prove it belongs to a person murdered by Tooms.

179. I'm positive Tooms hid this one victim...

180. .. because something about the body could prove he was the killer.

181. - What makes you positive? - A hunch. An old-fashioned hunch.

182. You've got to trust your instincts.

183. And... what does your instinct say about where Tooms buried the body?

184. In the cement where they poured the foundation...

185. .. of the chemical plant.

186. Ground-penetrating radar.

187. It bounces signals off objects or cavities.

188. Tells you where the body is.

189. Well, it signals if something inordinate is present.

190. An experienced operator attempts to differentiate...

191. .. if a signal is a body or a stone or a hole in the ground.

192. - Differentiates? - Mm-hm.

193. You mean he guesses.

194. Well, it's an educated guess.

195. Mm-hm.

196. How are we doing?

197. Well, it's really hard to tell.

198. There are some possibilities.

199. Nothing very conclusive...

200. It's here!

201. Here!

202. What is it?

203. It's here!

204. Right here!

205. Agent Scully, look at this.

206. Robo-toddler's finally sleeping!

207. I'm gonna watch TV in bed.

208. OK.

209. I'm coming, honey.

210. Oh, screw it!

211. Would you go down and get that?

212. FBI.

213. I suspect an intruder in your house.

214. What?

215. Someone opened my window!

216. I suspect the year of death to be in the mid-1930s.

217. The anterior surface...

218. .. of the right femur was green, indicating exposure to copper.

219. We concentrated on the area and we found several pennies.

220. 1933... '31... 1933.

221. Can you determine cause of death?

222. My instinct says burial in cement is murder.

223. No, at the moment I have found no definite proof of murder.

224. There are gnawing marks near the ribs.

225. I suspect that's rodent activity...

226. .. prior to the body being set in cement.

227. We need to see more of the remains for cause of death.

228. As you know, it's a slow but necessary process.

229. I did try a little something.

230. It's a little premature if we're gonna go by the book.

231. Well, we'll keep it off the record.

232. Good. Thank you.

233. The old man, Mr Briggs,

234. .. gave me a photograph of the missing person in 1933...

235. .. suspected of being a murder victim.

236. I ran a computer-aided superimposition on what we have of the skull.

237. Now... this is not official,

238. .. but that skeleton was that person.

239. It's not enough. It doesn't tie it to Tooms.

240. Well, it's a start.

241. Mulder, it's getting a bit ripe in here, don't you think?

242. Pine-scented!

243. Ohh!

244. Better?

245. Tooms hasn't come out of the house all day.

246. I've sat through a Phillies game and four hours of Baba Booey.

247. Mm.

248. It's liverwurst.

249. You know proper surveillance requires two pairs of agents,

250. ..one pair relieving the other after 12 hours.

251. Article 30, paragraph 8.7?

252. This isn't about doing it by the book. You haven't slept for three days.

253. You're gonna get sloppy and you're gonna get hurt. It's inevitable.

254. A request for other agents to stake out Tooms would be denied.

255. Then I'll stay, you go home.

256. They're out to put an end to the X-Files, Scully.

257. I don't know why, but any excuse will do.

258. I don't really care about my record,

259. .. but you'd be in trouble just sitting in this car.

260. I'd hate to see you carry an official reprimand in your file because of me.

261. Fox...

262. I... I... even made my parents call me Mulder.

263. Mulder.

264. Mulder, I wouldn't put myself on the line for anybody but you.

265. If there's an iced tea in that bag,

266. ..it could be love.

267. Must be fate, Mulder.

268. Root beer.

269. You're delirious. Go home and get some sleep.

270. Take my sandwich. I only had one bite.

271. You're gonna want it later.

272. Call me if anything happens. Immediately. I'll be here.

273. Oh, oh, and 11.30, station 790,

274. .. Pete Rose's late-night sports talk radio show.

275. I wouldn't miss it for the world

276. It has worked, hasn't it?

277. You'll be all right now.

278. I know it's worked!

279. Yeah, they found him out cold in the street.

280. He's been beaten up pretty badly.

281. Contusions, multiple lacerations.

282. The shoulder's been pulled right out of joint.

283. Let's get him prepped for some blood work and X-rays.

284. He's been kicked in the jaw.

285. It may be fractured. There's a partial shoe print.

286. I wanna get a photo of that.

287. We might be able to find the shoe that matches it later.

288. Do you know who did this to you?

289. We'll be right back, Mr Tooms.

290. Says it was an FBI agent named Mulder.

291. So would you say he's delusional or just schizophrenic?

292. It's just a cursory exam, but there's nothing to indicate that.

293. - Agent Mulder? - Yeah.

294. What's going on?

295. What's this about?

296. Agent Mulder, get your things.

297. You're in some trouble.

298. These are serious allegations. The evidence is incriminating.

299. A good forensic scientist would know there is not only a shoe print...

300. .. but an impact point of the foot from inside the shoe.

301. An analysis of Tooms's injury would show...

302. ..my foot was not inside the shoe.

303. Are you suggesting Tooms is framing you?

304. - Of course. - If you had him under surveillance,

305. ..how could he gain access to your shoe without you seeing him?

306. - Well... - Sir.

307. I was engaged in the unauthorised surveillance as well.

308. Agent Mulder was orienting me...

309. .. on the situation at the time Tooms was admitted into the hospital.

310. Agent Mulder could not have done it because he was with me.

311. Agent Scully, you wouldn't be lying to me, would you?

312. Sir, I would expect you to place the same trust in me as I do in you.

313. Agent Scully, may I have a word with Agent Mulder, please?

314. Fox,

315. ..you were one of the finest, most unique agents...

316. ..in the nearly 60-year history of this institution.

317. We were talking about you when you were in the academy.

318. Most of us, including the director, feel you are wasted on the X-Files.

319. But we respect that you are deeply invested in those areas.

320. But if these cases are creating such stress...

321. ..as to cause not only you to act inappropriately...

322. .. but agents close to you,

323. .. then may I advise you to step away...

324. .. for a while?

325. Clear your head, take an extended vacation.

326. That's a good idea.

327. Thanks for your concern.

328. You're forbidden to go near Eugene Tooms.

329. Mulder,

330. .. this was close.

331. Any closer and 1,000 friends at the Capitol won't be able to help you.

332. These are Eugene Tooms's dental X-rays...

333. .. obtained from the Druid Hill Sanitarium.

334. Your sandwich the other night gave me an idea.

335. Dr Plith had mentioned that he found gnawing on the rib cage...

336. .. near the location of the liver.

337. Further excavation revealed...

338. .. more pronounced bite marks, human teeth marks.

339. Tooms will never voluntarily submit to a dental cast.

340. This software can create a three-dimensional model...

341. .. of Tooms's mouth from the dental radiograph.

342. We've also mapped out the bite marks from the skeleton's rib - here.

343. They match.

344. Eugene, Dr Monte.

345. Hi, I wanted to stop by and see how everything was going.

346. Susan and I are going out for the evening.

347. - See you later. - Thanks.

348. Great place.

349. Wonderful place. How are you feeling?

350. Why the newspaper strips, Eugene? Are you making some papier-maché?

351. Yes.

352. That's terrific, wonderful.

353. I had no idea you were interested in art.

354. I like art.

355. I do, too. I'm very proud of you.

356. Art can provide a window...

357. ..to your thoughts and your feelings.

358. What are you doing, Eugene?

359. Eugene... are you all right?

360. Arghhhh!

361. That makes five.

362. He's building his nest.

363. - 30-year hibernation. - Where would he go?

364. Where he's gone for the last 90 years - 66 Exeter Street.

365. No, I already checked. They tore down that apartment building.

366. What's there now?

367. Thanks.

368. He's gotta be here.

369. If he's drawn to this location for some reason,

370. .. maybe this nest is in the approximate location of the previous nest.

371. This is the area.

372. There's a storage facility...

373. .. on the second floor.

374. What?

375. There's only room for one.

376. You can get the next mutant.

377. Mulder?

378. Mulder?

379. Mulder! Mulder, here!

380. Quick, grab my hand!

381. Come on!

382. Mulder, what's happening?

383. Quick!

384. Have you read this report?

385. Do you believe them?

386. Of course I do.

387. OK, let's go.

388. It's amazing how things change, isn't it?

389. The caterpillar?

390. No, a change for us.

391. - It's coming. - How do you know?

392. A hunch.

393. I made this!
