1. We're almost there.
Copy !req
2. How you doing, hon?
Copy !req
3. Just breathe deeply.
Copy !req
4. Just like that.
Copy !req
5. There you go.
You're doing great.
Copy !req
6. Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
7. Real great.
Copy !req
8. Ma'am? Ma'am?
Copy !req
9. Ma'am, I'll need your full name
and Social Security number.
Copy !req
10. Amanda Nelligan.
Copy !req
11. 545-02-0809.
Copy !req
12. And your insurance carrier?
Copy !req
13. Atlantic Mutual.
Great.
Copy !req
14. Is there anyone
you need us to contact?
Copy !req
15. The father
of the baby?
Copy !req
16. I'm not sure
how to get hold of him.
Copy !req
17. I'm not sure
how to get hold of him.
Copy !req
18. If you give me his name,
I can try.
Copy !req
19. He's not from around here.
Copy !req
20. Is he from out of state?
Copy !req
21. Another planet.
Copy !req
22. All right,
we're here now.
Copy !req
23. Okay, hold on.
Copy !req
24. One more little push, Amanda.
Copy !req
25. There you go.
Copy !req
26. You're going to set
a speed record here.
Copy !req
27. Great.
Copy !req
28. There's a cute face.
Copy !req
29. Bulb syringe.
Copy !req
30. This is like
the Indy 500 here.
Copy !req
31. Here comes
the shoulder.
Copy !req
32. Good.
Copy !req
33. Okay, Amanda.
Copy !req
34. That'll do it.
Copy !req
35. Oh.
Copy !req
36. Oh, God.
Copy !req
37. What? What is it?
Copy !req
38. It's okay.
Copy !req
39. She's just fine.
Copy !req
40. Perfectly healthy.
Copy !req
41. No problem.
Copy !req
42. Everything's going to be A-okay.
Copy !req
43. You've got a healthy baby girl.
Copy !req
44. You've got a healthy baby girl.
Copy !req
45. A little girl.
Copy !req
46. Good Lord, not another one.
Copy !req
47. I admit the photo is
a little over the top,
Copy !req
48. but, um, what do you think,
Scully?
Copy !req
49. No, seriously.
Copy !req
50. Children born with vestigial
tails don't interest you?
Copy !req
51. Caudal appendages.
Copy !req
52. Fetuses have them.
Copy !req
53. The coccyx enlarges
to contain the spinal fluid,
Copy !req
54. and then it shrinks
as the child develops.
Copy !req
55. Occasionally, it doesn't.
Copy !req
56. It's extremely rare,
but it has been known to happen.
Copy !req
57. Five times
within the last three months,
Copy !req
58. all in a town with a population
of less than 15,000 people?
Copy !req
59. I'd say that's
Copy !req
60. a little more
than a statistical anomaly.
Copy !req
61. a little more
than a statistical anomaly.
Copy !req
62. So would I.
Copy !req
63. No, Mulder,
Copy !req
64. I-I think you're right.
Copy !req
65. I think
that something about this
Copy !req
66. definitely warrants
investigation, only not by us.
Copy !req
67. I'd say that
it's a job
Copy !req
68. for the local
health department.
Copy !req
69. I called around.
Copy !req
70. They're already investigating.
Copy !req
71. So, uh, so what else
about this interests you?
Copy !req
72. Could it be, uh...
Copy !req
73. "Visitors from space"?
Copy !req
74. The doctor said that my baby—
she's going to be fine.
Copy !req
75. The doctor said that my baby—
she's going to be fine.
Copy !req
76. She... she's really healthy.
Copy !req
77. Once she gets to
be a few months old,
Copy !req
78. it's just a matter
of a snip.
Copy !req
79. That's good to hear.
Copy !req
80. Yeah.
Copy !req
81. Did you experience
any unusual complications
Copy !req
82. during your pregnancy,
Amanda?
Copy !req
83. Did you undergo
any kind of fertility treatment?
Copy !req
84. No. I wasn't trying
to get pregnant.
Copy !req
85. I guess
you could just sort of say
Copy !req
86. I'm a single mom now.
Copy !req
87. When you were admitted,
Copy !req
88. you said that the,
uh, the baby's father
Copy !req
89. you said that the,
uh, the baby's father
Copy !req
90. was from another planet.
Copy !req
91. What did you mean
by that, exactly?
Copy !req
92. Well, you know, that...
he's not from this planet.
Copy !req
93. Were you abducted?
Copy !req
94. Huh?
Copy !req
95. No.
Copy !req
96. No. He...
Copy !req
97. dropped by my apartment one day,
Copy !req
98. and one thing
sort of led to... another.
Copy !req
99. But the baby's
father is an alien?
Copy !req
100. No, no, I didn't say
he was an alien.
Copy !req
101. I said he was from
Copy !req
102. another planet.
Copy !req
103. His name is Luke Skywalker.
Copy !req
104. His name is Luke Skywalker.
Copy !req
105. He's what's known as
a Jedi Knight.
Copy !req
106. Did he have
a lightsaber?
Copy !req
107. No, he didn't bring it.
Copy !req
108. He did sing
Copy !req
109. his song for me though.
Copy !req
110. How many times
have you seen Star Wars, Amanda?
Copy !req
111. 368.
Copy !req
112. I should break 400
by Memorial Day.
Copy !req
113. I should break 400
by Memorial Day.
Copy !req
114. Okay.
Copy !req
115. Thank you.
Copy !req
116. Oh, wait a minute, wait.
Copy !req
117. You know these four
Copy !req
118. other babies that were born
around here with tails?
Copy !req
119. Uh-huh.
Copy !req
120. There couldn't be any chance...
Copy !req
121. Luke's the father... is there?
Copy !req
122. Okay.
Copy !req
123. All right,
I got it.
Copy !req
124. Thank you.
Copy !req
125. Take your best shot,
Scully,
Copy !req
126. but I think
there's more going on here
Copy !req
127. than Luke Skywalker
and his lightsaber.
Copy !req
128. I think you're
right, Mulder.
Copy !req
129. You coming?
Copy !req
130. Here are the PCRs we ran
for the five children.
Copy !req
131. We've put calls
in to the parents.
Copy !req
132. We'll blood test
all the husbands
Copy !req
133. hopefully by this afternoon,
Copy !req
134. hopefully by this afternoon,
Copy !req
135. just to double-check.
Good.
Copy !req
136. They'll be
none too happy.
Copy !req
137. I have to confess,
Copy !req
138. this answer
seems so strangely obvious
Copy !req
139. I probably wouldn't
have even checked for it.
Copy !req
140. What answer?
Copy !req
141. You see here—
Copy !req
142. these identical
Copy !req
143. band trait matches, all showing
Copy !req
144. a small loss of a part of
chromosome number eight?
Copy !req
145. Each of these five children,
born to five different women,
Copy !req
146. all share the same father.
Copy !req
147. Yeah?
Copy !req
148. I should've
thought of it sooner.
Copy !req
149. This kind
of appendant birth defect
Copy !req
150. This kind
of appendant birth defect
Copy !req
151. is often passed on
within a family.
Copy !req
152. Meaning the father
had a tail as well?
Copy !req
153. Though he most likely
had it surgically removed
Copy !req
154. somewhere along the way.
Copy !req
155. How would this happen?
Copy !req
156. Birds and the bees
and the monkey babies, Mulder.
Copy !req
157. Birds do it, bees do it,
even educated MDs do it.
Copy !req
158. All five of these women
Copy !req
159. shared the same ob-gyn,
didn't they?
Copy !req
160. Yeah, he's the only one
in town.
Copy !req
161. And four of the five women,
the four married women,
Copy !req
162. not including Amanda
Nelligan, are on record
Copy !req
163. as receiving
insemination therapy
Copy !req
164. as a means
of conception.
Copy !req
165. as a means
of conception.
Copy !req
166. So, you're thinking
that the doctor
Copy !req
167. might have something
to do with it?
Copy !req
168. So much for not putting
all your eggs in one basket.
Copy !req
169. Just let me
handle it, okay?
Copy !req
170. I just think we should
find the best lawyer we can,
Copy !req
171. because I definitely
plan to sue.
Copy !req
172. That's all I'm saying, Fred.
Copy !req
173. Baboo, look, just let
me do the talking all right?
Copy !req
174. I'll handle this.
Copy !req
175. Just tell him
we're going to sue.
Copy !req
176. Oh, you, too, huh?
Copy !req
177. What the hell did you do?
Copy !req
178. Yeah, Alton.
Copy !req
179. Yeah, what did you do?
Copy !req
180. I didn't do anything.
Copy !req
181. Now, folks, we're going to
figure this out here, I promise.
Copy !req
182. Look, everybody just relax.
Copy !req
183. Don't you tell
me to relax.
Copy !req
184. What the hell happened
to my sperm?
Copy !req
185. Yeah, mine, too.
Copy !req
186. Whose did you use?
It's bad enough
Copy !req
187. having a boy with a tail,
Copy !req
188. then you find out
it's not even yours?
Copy !req
189. Yeah.
Right.
Copy !req
190. For God's sake, Alton,
Copy !req
191. how many of us are there?
Copy !req
192. I'm Special Agent Mulder
Copy !req
193. with the Federal Bureau
of Investigation.
Copy !req
194. This is Agent Scully.
Copy !req
195. Great.
Copy !req
196. Arrest this
son of a bitch.
Copy !req
197. Arrest this
son of a bitch.
Copy !req
198. Yeah, arrest this guy.
No, sir, settle down.
Copy !req
199. Nobody's going
to be arrested.
Copy !req
200. Yeah, we're just here to
find out what's going on.
Copy !req
201. Alton didn't
use my sperm.
Copy !req
202. I most certainly did.
Each of you women
Copy !req
203. was inseminated
with your husband's
Copy !req
204. own sperm and
nobody else's.
Copy !req
205. Now, why was it necessary
to inseminate in these cases?
Copy !req
206. It was a sperm motility issue.
Copy !req
207. The intrauterine
process that I used
Copy !req
208. has about a 40%
chance of success.
Copy !req
209. I was surprised.
Copy !req
210. It seemed to work
all four times.
Copy !req
211. Now, the only thing
I can think of is...
Copy !req
212. What?
Copy !req
213. maybe it never worked at all.
Copy !req
214. maybe it never worked at all.
Copy !req
215. What are you saying,
Alton?
Honey...
Copy !req
216. No, I want to know
what he means by that.
Copy !req
217. I haven't been with a man
since 1989.
Copy !req
218. I mean,
not counting you, honey.
Copy !req
219. Look, I'm not accusing
anyone of anything.
Copy !req
220. I'm just saying,
this latest patient of mine
Copy !req
221. who just gave birth
to a baby with a tail—
Copy !req
222. she didn't even
undergo insemination,
Copy !req
223. so you folks are blaming
the wrong baby doctor.
Copy !req
224. Hey.
Copy !req
225. Hey.
Copy !req
226. Excuse me.
Copy !req
227. I'm an agent with the Federal
Bureau of Investigation.
Copy !req
228. I'd like to ask you
a few questions.
Copy !req
229. Uh... yeah, o-okay.
Copy !req
230. Scully.
Copy !req
231. Check it out.
Copy !req
232. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
233. That's him?
Copy !req
234. He's the one?
Copy !req
235. Five out of five.
Copy !req
236. You spelled my name wrong.
Copy !req
237. It's Van Blundht
with a silent "H."
Copy !req
238. B-L-U-N-D-H-T.
Copy !req
239. Oh, we'll get
right on that.
Copy !req
240. Lots of people spell it wrong.
Copy !req
241. It's, like, Dutch or something.
Copy !req
242. Can I go now?
Copy !req
243. No. There's a few things
we have to clear up first.
Copy !req
244. Yeah. Like how'd you do it?
Copy !req
245. What do you mean,
how'd I do it?
Copy !req
246. You're the father of five
children, Mr. Van Blundht.
Copy !req
247. Is that not news to you?
Copy !req
248. Do you have any insight
into how five women
Copy !req
249. came to be inseminated
with your sperm?
Copy !req
250. came to be inseminated
with your sperm?
Copy !req
251. You make it sound so romantic.
Copy !req
252. So, you're saying there
was romance involved.
Copy !req
253. Why is that
so hard to believe?
Copy !req
254. Just 'cause I was born
with a tail,
Copy !req
255. no woman would want me?
Copy !req
256. Maybe I got personality.
Copy !req
257. You ever think of that?
Copy !req
258. You had sex
with these women?
Copy !req
259. How is it that
none of them
Copy !req
260. have any recollection
whatsoever of that happening?
Copy !req
261. Look, I'm not saying anything
one way or another.
Copy !req
262. Look, I'm not saying anything
one way or another.
Copy !req
263. I'm just saying—
hypothetically—
Copy !req
264. if some women
wanted to have kids
Copy !req
265. and their husbands
weren't capable
Copy !req
266. and everybody was happy
Copy !req
267. and nobody got hurt,
well, hypothetically,
Copy !req
268. where's the crime?
Copy !req
269. Well, if you're waiting
for my usual theory
Copy !req
270. Well, if you're waiting
for my usual theory
Copy !req
271. as to what's going on,
I don't have one.
Copy !req
272. I do.
Copy !req
273. On, uh, on behalf of all
the women in the world,
Copy !req
274. I seriously doubt
this has anything to do
Copy !req
275. with consensual sex.
Copy !req
276. I think it involves some
form of Rohypnol rape.
Copy !req
277. The tranquilizer.
I didn't think of that.
Copy !req
278. It's been called
the date rape drug.
Copy !req
279. High doses of it cause
a loosening of inhibitions,
Copy !req
280. memory loss.
Copy !req
281. Now, if Van Blundht
was somehow able
Copy !req
282. to slip the drug to these women,
Copy !req
283. especially in conjunction
with alcohol...
Copy !req
284. Yeah, but when and where
would he have had
Copy !req
285. Yeah, but when and where
would he have had
Copy !req
286. the opportunity
to slip it to them?
Copy !req
287. Well, he identified these women
Copy !req
288. through his janitorial job
at the medical park.
Copy !req
289. He could have followed them
anywhere— to a club, to a bar.
Copy !req
290. Those women
don't look like the type
Copy !req
291. that do a lot of solo drinking.
Copy !req
292. I think it's enough
to keep him in custody
Copy !req
293. while we check it out.
Copy !req
294. Uh, you spelled
my name wrong.
Copy !req
295. Uh, you spelled
my name wrong.
Copy !req
296. It's B-L-U-N-D-H-T.
Copy !req
297. Silent "H."
Copy !req
298. Address.
Copy !req
299. I strongly suggest
you stop eyeballing me
Copy !req
300. and tell me your address.
Copy !req
301. 17 Prospect Parkway.
Copy !req
302. Martinsburg, 25401.
Copy !req
303. All right, Mr. Van Blun-hut,
give me your phone number.
Copy !req
304. All right, Mr. Van Blun-hut,
give me your phone number.
Copy !req
305. What the hell?
Copy !req
306. The "H" is silent.
Copy !req
307. I could have sworn
Curtis clocked out hours ago.
Copy !req
308. He said good night
to me and everything.
Copy !req
309. This morning, I find him
shoved underneath a desk.
Copy !req
310. Deputy,
Copy !req
311. are you sure
Copy !req
312. you don't remember
what happened last night?
Copy !req
313. The guy coldcocked me.
Copy !req
314. Except he
wasn't the guy.
Copy !req
315. He was me.
Copy !req
316. My head hurts.
Copy !req
317. I found Van Blundht's clothes
in the locker room.
Copy !req
318. He must have
walked out of here
Copy !req
319. wearing the deputy's
spare uniform.
Copy !req
320. After hitting him
over the head.
Copy !req
321. I have a theory,
if you want to hear it.
Copy !req
322. Van Blundht somehow
physically transformed
Copy !req
323. into his captor, then
walked out the door,
Copy !req
324. leaving no one the wiser?
Copy !req
325. Scully, should we be picking out
china patterns or what?
Copy !req
326. Mulder, why can't you just
go for the simple answer?
Copy !req
327. With that blow to the head,
the deputy might just as well
Copy !req
328. have identified McGruff
the Crime Dog as his attacker.
Copy !req
329. What about what
the sheriff saw?
Copy !req
330. What about what
the sheriff saw?
Copy !req
331. Two men, roughly the same build,
the same coloring,
Copy !req
332. the addition of the uniform
goes a long way to explain
Copy !req
333. how someone can mistake
one man for another
Copy !req
334. at 3:00 in the morning.
Copy !req
335. Conversely, my theory
goes a long way to explaining
Copy !req
336. how four married women
could mistake
Copy !req
337. Van Blundht for their husbands,
Copy !req
338. and how Amanda Nelligan
could think
Copy !req
339. he was Luke Skywalker.
Copy !req
340. We've both seen something
like this before, Scully.
Copy !req
341. But what are you saying?
Copy !req
342. That Van Blundht is an alien?
Copy !req
343. Not unless they have
trailer parks in space.
Copy !req
344. This is something different.
Copy !req
345. Hey, Scully, if you
could be somebody else
Copy !req
346. for a day, who
would it be?
Copy !req
347. Hopefully, myself.
Copy !req
348. So boring.
Copy !req
349. I mean, wouldn't you
even be tempted
Copy !req
350. to try on somebody else's
existence for a day?
Copy !req
351. Live your life
as somebody else?
Copy !req
352. Looking like someone else,
Mulder, and being someone else
Copy !req
353. are completely
different things.
Copy !req
354. Well, maybe it's not.
Copy !req
355. I mean, everybody else
around you would treat you
Copy !req
356. like you were
somebody else.
Copy !req
357. like you were
somebody else.
Copy !req
358. I mean, ultimately,
maybe it's
Copy !req
359. other people's reactions to
us that make us who we are.
Copy !req
360. All right, then—
Eleanor Roosevelt.
Copy !req
361. Can't be
a dead person.
Copy !req
362. Why the hell not?
Copy !req
363. Because.
Copy !req
364. What are you doing
sneaking around my porch?
Copy !req
365. What are you doing
sneaking around my porch?
Copy !req
366. We're, uh...
Copy !req
367. we're with the FBI.
Copy !req
368. Is this the home of
Edward Van Blundht?
Copy !req
369. Yeah, that's me.
Copy !req
370. We're looking for
your son, Eddie Jr.
Copy !req
371. Eddie?
Copy !req
372. What did that moron do now?
Copy !req
373. VAN BLUNDHT SR.:
Five women?
Copy !req
374. Oh, Lord.
Copy !req
375. Anything else?
Copy !req
376. Yes. He attacked
a sheriff's deputy
Copy !req
377. during his escape
from custody.
Copy !req
378. during his escape
from custody.
Copy !req
379. Hurt bad?
Copy !req
380. Fortunately not.
Copy !req
381. Well, thank heavens
for that at least.
Copy !req
382. Sir, do you have any idea
where your son might be?
Copy !req
383. I wish I did. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
384. I haven't seen him
for the last two days.
Copy !req
385. Is this... is this you?
Copy !req
386. One and the same!
Copy !req
387. You want to see?
Copy !req
388. No.
Copy !req
389. No.
Copy !req
390. No, thank you.
Copy !req
391. My son had his removed
when he was, uh...
Copy !req
392. My son had his removed
when he was, uh...
Copy !req
393. just a kid.
Copy !req
394. Kept bugging me and bugging me.
Copy !req
395. Till...
Copy !req
396. till I finally let him do it.
Copy !req
397. There you go.
Copy !req
398. I told him
it was a mistake.
Copy !req
399. I said, "Son,
you ain't much to look at.
Copy !req
400. "You ain't no athlete,
Copy !req
401. "and you sure the hell
ain't no Einstein,
Copy !req
402. "but at least you got that tail.
Copy !req
403. Otherwise,
you're just small potatoes."
Copy !req
404. But he didn't listen.
Copy !req
405. But he didn't listen.
Copy !req
406. Sir, does your son have
Copy !req
407. any other
unique medical conditions?
Copy !req
408. I mean, aside from the tail?
Copy !req
409. Mr. Mulder,
that boy was born sickly.
Copy !req
410. We used to have
this condition
Copy !req
411. down in the South
called pellagra...
Copy !req
412. Excuse me, sir, how did you know
my name was Mulder?
Copy !req
413. She told me it was.
Copy !req
414. Mm, no.
Actually, I didn't.
Copy !req
415. It's him!
Copy !req
416. Pretty spry for
an old guy, huh?
Copy !req
417. Eddie Jr.,
not senior.
Copy !req
418. Well, whichever
one he is,
Copy !req
419. wouldn't you say he's
a man with a secret?
Copy !req
420. wouldn't you say he's
a man with a secret?
Copy !req
421. Honey, what are you
doing home so early?
Copy !req
422. Let's go see
what's wrong with Daddy.
Copy !req
423. Fred?
Copy !req
424. Honey?
Copy !req
425. Fred, is everything okay?
Copy !req
426. Everything's fine.
Copy !req
427. What happened to the clothes
you were wearing this morning?
Copy !req
428. I-I'll explain later.
Copy !req
429. Just give me
a little privacy, okay?
Copy !req
430. Just give me
a little privacy, okay?
Copy !req
431. Uh... Baboo.
Copy !req
432. Okay.
Copy !req
433. Sugar patootie.
Copy !req
434. I'll check upstairs.
Copy !req
435. I'm all right!
Copy !req
436. What?
Copy !req
437. It's quicklime.
Copy !req
438. Move back over here.
Copy !req
439. Not so spry.
Copy !req
440. Not so spry.
Copy !req
441. You think
the fall killed him?
Copy !req
442. Baboo, I'm home.
Copy !req
443. Oh, crap.
Copy !req
444. I'm home early.
Copy !req
445. What?
Copy !req
446. You were just here.
Copy !req
447. You went
into the bathroom.
Copy !req
448. What?
Copy !req
449. Honey, what do you mean
I'm in the bathroom?
Copy !req
450. Honey, what do you mean
I'm in the bathroom?
Copy !req
451. Shh. Come here.
Copy !req
452. Someone is in
the bathroom.
Copy !req
453. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
454. It's all clear.
Copy !req
455. So what killed Eddie
the monkey man?
Copy !req
456. It's difficult to say.
Copy !req
457. The quicklime burned
the tissue
Copy !req
458. even as it preserved it,
Copy !req
459. so what killed him
is one of two things
Copy !req
460. so what killed him
is one of two things
Copy !req
461. I haven't
figured out yet.
Copy !req
462. What's the other thing?
Copy !req
463. That would be this.
Copy !req
464. Striated muscle tissue.
Copy !req
465. What's unusual about that?
Copy !req
466. In and of itself,
nothing.
Copy !req
467. Where I found it,
however...
Copy !req
468. Where did you find it?
Copy !req
469. Everywhere.
Copy !req
470. His entire body.
Copy !req
471. As far as I can tell,
Copy !req
472. this man has a thin stratum
of voluntary muscle tissue
Copy !req
473. underpinning the entire
dermal layer of his skin.
Copy !req
474. underpinning the entire
dermal layer of his skin.
Copy !req
475. That's not normal.
Copy !req
476. This man's body is quite
Copy !req
477. a scientific specimen,
and thankfully
Copy !req
478. it's preserved
and intact.
Copy !req
479. In other words,
Copy !req
480. there are 654 muscles
in the human body,
Copy !req
481. and this man
essentially has 655.
Copy !req
482. Um, could that somehow
be related to his, uh,
Copy !req
483. having a tail?
Copy !req
484. Possibly.
Copy !req
485. It could be
a linked gene birth defect.
Copy !req
486. What would be the purpose
of-of this, uh, muscle?
Copy !req
487. You got me, Mulder.
Copy !req
488. You got me, Mulder.
Copy !req
489. You know, maybe none.
Copy !req
490. It appears to be atrophied,
although it may look
Copy !req
491. that way as a result
of the mummification.
Copy !req
492. Could this be a like-father-
like-son kind of a thing?
Copy !req
493. What do you mean?
Copy !req
494. Could Eddie Jr. have the same
anomalous muscular structure
Copy !req
495. as his dad here?
Copy !req
496. Maybe. What are
you suggesting?
Copy !req
497. Well, um, if this musculature
underlies the entire skin,
Copy !req
498. then maybe
it could be utilized
Copy !req
499. to remold the skin's
shape and texture.
Copy !req
500. Which would go a long way to
explaining why we're looking for
Copy !req
501. Which would go a long way to
explaining why we're looking for
Copy !req
502. a man who can appear to be
his own father,
Copy !req
503. or anyone else,
for that matter.
Copy !req
504. Isn't it
much more likely, Mulder,
Copy !req
505. that this man simply has
an identical twin?
Copy !req
506. Check that out.
Copy !req
507. Where are you going?
Copy !req
508. Something about
Van Blundht's M.O. confuses me.
Copy !req
509. His victims were
four married women
Copy !req
510. who wanted to get pregnant...
Copy !req
511. And one single woman who didn't.
Copy !req
512. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
513. I know.
Copy !req
514. I know.
Copy !req
515. Come in.
Copy !req
516. Sorry, Ms. Nelligan.
Copy !req
517. I'm sorry to bother you.
Copy !req
518. No, no,
it's no bother.
Copy !req
519. Just have a few
additional questions
Copy !req
520. I wanted to ask you.
Copy !req
521. Okay.
Copy !req
522. Here we go, sweetie.
Copy !req
523. Bye-bye.
Copy !req
524. We'll just come back later.
Copy !req
525. You know, I thought
they were letting me stay
Copy !req
526. in the hospital so
long because I had
Copy !req
527. really, really
great insurance.
Copy !req
528. Turns out, they're just
keeping me here
Copy !req
529. because they think
I'm sort of crazy.
Copy !req
530. They want to make sure
Copy !req
531. I'm safe to be
around my baby.
Copy !req
532. Free cable.
Copy !req
533. Free cable.
Copy !req
534. I want to ask you...
do you recognize this man?
Copy !req
535. Oh, yes.
Copy !req
536. Ew.
Copy !req
537. That's Eddie Van Blundht.
Copy !req
538. What can you tell me about him?
Copy !req
539. Oh, it's...
Copy !req
540. We went out
all through high school.
Copy !req
541. Oh, brother.
Copy !req
542. What?
Copy !req
543. Nothing. He's just...
he's sort of a loser.
Copy !req
544. He's one of those guys
you look back on, you go,
Copy !req
545. "Oh, my God,
what was I thinking?
Copy !req
546. "Oh, my God,
what was I thinking?
Copy !req
547. What was I thinking?"
Copy !req
548. Well, what, uh, specifically
made him a loser?
Copy !req
549. I don't know— everything.
Copy !req
550. He had, like, one million
annoying personal habits.
Copy !req
551. You know, just...
Copy !req
552. no sense of romance,
no ambition,
Copy !req
553. you know, no direction.
Copy !req
554. I mean, I hear he's, like,
a janitor or something now.
Copy !req
555. And he had this weird family.
Copy !req
556. His dad was in the circus
Copy !req
557. or something.
Copy !req
558. I don't know.
Copy !req
559. Never let me meet
him— thank God.
Copy !req
560. Never let me meet
him— thank God.
Copy !req
561. Well...
Copy !req
562. he must have had
some good qualities.
Copy !req
563. Well, yeah, sure,
everybody's got a few.
Copy !req
564. Yeah, we had
some good times.
Copy !req
565. He really loved Star Wars,
so we used to go
Copy !req
566. and see it every weekend.
Copy !req
567. That was nice.
Copy !req
568. He was no Luke, that's for sure.
Copy !req
569. Why do you want to know
about Eddie?
Copy !req
570. That's official FBI business.
Copy !req
571. Wow.
Copy !req
572. Wow.
Copy !req
573. I, uh...
Copy !req
574. wanted to congratulate you
on this
Copy !req
575. blessed event.
Copy !req
576. Thank you.
Copy !req
577. May the Force
be with you.
Copy !req
578. Hello, there.
Copy !req
579. Can I help you?
Copy !req
580. Can I help you?
Copy !req
581. I'm here to see Amanda Nelligan.
Copy !req
582. Just down
the hall there.
Copy !req
583. Come in.
Copy !req
584. No, seriously though,
Copy !req
585. why do you want
to know about Eddie?
Copy !req
586. What about Eddie?
Copy !req
587. Why were you
asking me
Copy !req
588. all those questions about him?
Copy !req
589. Mulder.
Copy !req
590. Agent Mulder,
this is Fred Neiman.
Copy !req
591. Is it okay for us
to get into our bathroom now?
Copy !req
592. Excuse me, sir?
Copy !req
593. I was hoping we could
get into our bathroom
Copy !req
594. sometime this evening.
Copy !req
595. You said the police were
Copy !req
596. going to come by
and dust it for fingerprints,
Copy !req
597. but that was about
four hours ago.
Copy !req
598. Uh-huh.
Copy !req
599. We want to help you
catch this guy,
Copy !req
600. but I got to say, I'm having
a real hard time here.
Copy !req
601. I mean, how exactly
do you wind up
Copy !req
602. chasing a suspect
into my bathroom?
Copy !req
603. Don't forget the suit.
Yeah.
Copy !req
604. And what do you need
with my charcoal suit?
Copy !req
605. I'm sorry, Mr. Neiman,
Copy !req
606. I'm going to have
to call you back.
Copy !req
607. I'm going to have
to call you back.
Copy !req
608. Um, I was just here.
Copy !req
609. Where did I go?
Copy !req
610. Huh?
Copy !req
611. There was a man.
Copy !req
612. He looked
exactly like me.
Copy !req
613. Did you see
where he went?
Copy !req
614. Down the hall.
Copy !req
615. Men's locker room.
Copy !req
616. Thank you.
Copy !req
617. Hey.
Copy !req
618. Hey.
Copy !req
619. Van Blundht.
Copy !req
620. Who?
Copy !req
621. Don't think about it.
Copy !req
622. Get your hands up.
Copy !req
623. Turn around.
Copy !req
624. Keep them up there.
Copy !req
625. Put your hands down now.
Copy !req
626. If it's not you,
I apologize in advance.
Copy !req
627. What are you doing?
Copy !req
628. Pull your pants up.
Copy !req
629. What?
Copy !req
630. What did I do now?
Copy !req
631. You're the only ones here?
Copy !req
632. Yeah.
Copy !req
633. I apologize.
Copy !req
634. Only one of you is
the man I'm looking for...
Copy !req
635. I hope.
Copy !req
636. I got to wait
Copy !req
637. for some blood tests
to come back,
Copy !req
638. and then I'll release
the other one.
Copy !req
639. Why don't you just
sit tight and relax.
Copy !req
640. Keep your clothes on, huh?
Copy !req
641. Keep your clothes on, huh?
Copy !req
642. Scully.
Copy !req
643. Yeah, hey, it's me.
Copy !req
644. I think you should get down to
the hospital right away, okay?
Copy !req
645. I'm on my way.
Copy !req
646. All right.
Copy !req
647. You're a damn good-looking man.
Copy !req
648. I mean,
you draw a gun on me.
Copy !req
649. You handcuff me with
my own handcuffs.
Copy !req
650. I know what I did. I know.
Copy !req
651. I take issue with that.
Copy !req
652. I have a serious
problem with that.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
653. I still don't understand.
Copy !req
654. Do you think we look like
criminals to you?
Copy !req
655. Exactly. What the hell
was on your mind?
Copy !req
656. I said I was sorry.
What's going on?
Copy !req
657. Am I done here?
Copy !req
658. Yeah. We got
his description.
Copy !req
659. Yeah. We got
his description.
Copy !req
660. Come on, guys.
Copy !req
661. What the hell
happened?
Copy !req
662. Van Blundht surprised me.
Copy !req
663. He coldcocked me
and then he got away.
Copy !req
664. Do you have
a lead on him?
Copy !req
665. No, but local authorities
are already on the warpath
Copy !req
666. for going after
one of their own.
Copy !req
667. They'll catch him
eventually.
Copy !req
668. So, what,
that's-that's it for us?
Copy !req
669. I know I dragged you out here,
Scully, but I'm beginning
Copy !req
670. to think this whole thing
is just a waste of time.
Copy !req
671. Now you think
there's no X File here?
Copy !req
672. No. No.
Copy !req
673. I think the only thing that's
here is, uh, small potatoes.
Copy !req
674. I think the only thing that's
here is, uh, small potatoes.
Copy !req
675. Hello?
Copy !req
676. Hello?
Copy !req
677. Get me out of here!
Copy !req
678. Hello! Hello!
Copy !req
679. I'm down here!
Copy !req
680. Help!
Copy !req
681. Help!
Copy !req
682. Which one of you wrote this?
Copy !req
683. I did, sir.
Copy !req
684. You spelled "Federal Bureau
of Investigation" wrong.
Copy !req
685. It's a typo.
Copy !req
686. Twice.
Copy !req
687. Agent Scully, what about
the body you found?
Copy !req
688. Did you establish
a cause of death?
Copy !req
689. Yes, sir. The subject,
Edward Van Blundht Sr.,
Copy !req
690. died of natural causes.
Copy !req
691. died of natural causes.
Copy !req
692. Specifically heart
disease and advanced age.
Copy !req
693. We think the son
hid the father in the attic
Copy !req
694. so he could
continue to cash in
Copy !req
695. on the old man's
Social Security checks.
Copy !req
696. Most likely.
Copy !req
697. So the son wasn't a murderer.
Copy !req
698. Oh, no, not at all.
Copy !req
699. But he was a rapist.
Copy !req
700. I entered him into
Copy !req
701. the national sex
offenders database.
Copy !req
702. The West Virginia state police
have a photo and a description,
Copy !req
703. and they will coordinate
with local authorities.
Copy !req
704. There should be
an arrest soon.
Copy !req
705. That about wraps it up.
Copy !req
706. So, Scully,
what are you doing tonight?
Copy !req
707. Any big plans?
Copy !req
708. Well, seeing as
how it's Friday,
Copy !req
709. I was thinking I could
get some work in
Copy !req
710. on that monograph I'm writing
for the Penology Review.
Copy !req
711. Oh.
Copy !req
712. "Diminished acetylcholine
production
Copy !req
713. in recidivist
offenders."
Copy !req
714. Uh-huh.
Copy !req
715. Actually, I might
bag that though.
Copy !req
716. Really?
Copy !req
717. Yeah. I have
to say, Mulder,
Copy !req
718. the anomalous musculature
in the corpse we found
Copy !req
719. the anomalous musculature
in the corpse we found
Copy !req
720. really has me intrigued.
Copy !req
721. In fact, I think
Copy !req
722. I'm going to go to Quantico
Copy !req
723. and have
some tissue samples run.
Copy !req
724. I'll see you Monday.
Copy !req
725. Monday morning.
Copy !req
726. "Fox"?
Copy !req
727. Brother.
Copy !req
728. Good night.
Copy !req
729. This is where my tax dollars go?
Copy !req
730. Where do I live?
Copy !req
731. Where the hell do I sleep?
Copy !req
732. Mulder? Langly.
Copy !req
733. You got to see this.
Copy !req
734. An online associate of ours—
who will remain anonymous—
Copy !req
735. has figured out a way
to digitize the Zapruder footage
Copy !req
736. so we can extrapolate a bird's-
eye view of the Dealey Plaza
Copy !req
737. at the exact moment
of the assassination,
Copy !req
738. and you'll never believe
where the third shot came from.
Copy !req
739. and you'll never believe
where the third shot came from.
Copy !req
740. Tell him
about the cheesesteaks.
Copy !req
741. Oh, yeah.
And Frohike, Byers and me
Copy !req
742. are going out for cheesesteaks.
Copy !req
743. Are you down with that?
Copy !req
744. Uh, erase once you hear it.
Copy !req
745. Geeks for friends.
Copy !req
746. Hello, Marty. It's Chantal.
Copy !req
747. It's been so long
since we've spoken.
Copy !req
748. I've been so lonely
not hearing your sexy voice.
Copy !req
749. Marty, just for you
Copy !req
750. we've lowered our rates
to 40 cents a minute—
Copy !req
751. $2.99 for the first minute,
all long-distance rates apply.
Copy !req
752. Do give me a call, lover-man.
Copy !req
753. I'll be waiting.
Copy !req
754. I'll be waiting.
Copy !req
755. FBI.
Copy !req
756. F...
Copy !req
757. B...
Copy !req
758. I.
Copy !req
759. FBI.
Copy !req
760. You looking at me?
Copy !req
761. There ain't nobody else here.
Copy !req
762. You must be looking at me.
Copy !req
763. You must be looking at me.
Copy !req
764. You want a piece of this?
Copy !req
765. You're a damn good-looking man.
Copy !req
766. You're a damn good-looking man.
Copy !req
767. Mulder, what's up?
Copy !req
768. Scully.
Copy !req
769. Is this a bad time?
Copy !req
770. No.
Copy !req
771. No, um... come on in.
Copy !req
772. Who's that for?
Copy !req
773. Uh... us.
Copy !req
774. Okay.
Copy !req
775. Have a seat.
Copy !req
776. So, uh, what are you working on?
Copy !req
777. More autopsy data.
Copy !req
778. You know, everyone
at the lab
Copy !req
779. found Mr. Van Blundht
pretty fascinating.
Copy !req
780. We discovered an additional
Copy !req
781. anomaly relating to the hair
follicles in his scalp.
Copy !req
782. I can't even
begin to guess
Copy !req
783. at the nature of it
until we can run it
Copy !req
784. through the transmission
electron microscope.
Copy !req
785. through the transmission
electron microscope.
Copy !req
786. Sounds very interesting.
Copy !req
787. Yes, it is.
Copy !req
788. So, seriously, Mulder,
what's going on?
Copy !req
789. You okay?
Copy !req
790. Mm.
Copy !req
791. I was just kind of...
Copy !req
792. knocking around and...
Copy !req
793. knocking around and...
Copy !req
794. just thinking...
Copy !req
795. Good.
Copy !req
796. We never really, uh...
Copy !req
797. talk much... do we?
Copy !req
798. What do you mean, like...
Copy !req
799. really talk?
Copy !req
800. No. No, we don't, Mulder.
Copy !req
801. Well, what's stopping us?
Copy !req
802. So there we are
at 2:00 in the morning—
Copy !req
803. me in my moire taffeta dress
Copy !req
804. and Marcus in whatever the hell
it was he was wearing...
Copy !req
805. Thank you very much.
Copy !req
806. It had a, um...
Copy !req
807. a kelly green cummerbund on it.
Copy !req
808. Anyway, so I know
that Marcus is thinking
Copy !req
809. that it's now or never,
Copy !req
810. and I'm thinking...
Copy !req
811. What are you thinking?
Copy !req
812. I'm thinking, "What is that
siren I hear getting louder?"
Copy !req
813. No way. Who
called the cops?
Copy !req
814. No way. Who
called the cops?
Copy !req
815. It wasn't the cops,
it was the fire department.
Copy !req
816. My friend Sylvia
and her idiot prom date...
Copy !req
817. Berwood?
Copy !req
818. had built this campfire
Copy !req
819. that went totally
out of control,
Copy !req
820. and so we all had to
ride back on the, um—
Copy !req
821. what do you call it?--
Copy !req
822. the, um...
the pumper truck.
Copy !req
823. Yeah.
Copy !req
824. Marcus was the 12th grade
love of my life.
Copy !req
825. I can't believe
I'm telling you this.
Copy !req
826. I don't believe
you haven't told me before.
Copy !req
827. Now I'm seeing a whole
new side of you, Mulder.
Copy !req
828. Now I'm seeing a whole
new side of you, Mulder.
Copy !req
829. Is that a good thing?
Copy !req
830. I like it.
Copy !req
831. You ever wish
things were different?
Copy !req
832. What do you mean?
Copy !req
833. The person you wanted to be
Copy !req
834. when you grew up,
when you were in high school—
Copy !req
835. how far off from that
did you end up?
Copy !req
836. Career-wise, miles off target.
Copy !req
837. Uh, not just
that, but...
Copy !req
838. you ever wish...
Copy !req
839. you ever wish...
Copy !req
840. that you could go back
and do it all differently?
Copy !req
841. Do you?
Copy !req
842. Thanks for coming.
Copy !req
843. What's with the hat?
Copy !req
844. My court-appointed therapist
makes me wear it.
Copy !req
845. She says it's meant
to bolster my self-esteem.
Copy !req
846. Does it?
Copy !req
847. Not really.
Copy !req
848. The other inmates just
beat me up and take it from me,
Copy !req
849. The other inmates just
beat me up and take it from me,
Copy !req
850. which would be okay,
except every week
Copy !req
851. she brings me a new hat.
Copy !req
852. Plus, they keep me
on some kind of...
Copy !req
853. muscle relaxant, so I... I can't
make faces the way I used to.
Copy !req
854. Did you tell them to do that?
Copy !req
855. Is, uh...
is Agent Scully here?
Copy !req
856. What did you want
to talk to me about, Eddie?
Copy !req
857. I just think it's funny.
Copy !req
858. I was born a loser,
but you're one by choice.
Copy !req
859. On what do you base
that astute assessment?
Copy !req
860. On what do you base
that astute assessment?
Copy !req
861. Experience.
Copy !req
862. You should live a little.
Copy !req
863. Treat yourself.
Copy !req
864. God knows I would
Copy !req
865. if I were you.
Copy !req
866. Have a good
day, sir.
Copy !req
867. I don't imagine you need
to be told this, Mulder,
Copy !req
868. but you're not a loser.
Copy !req
869. Yeah, but I'm no
Eddie Van Blundht either...
Copy !req
870. am I?
Copy !req
871. I made this!
