1. Jell-O salad with little pear chunks.Copy !req
2. It's the Wednesday special
at the hospital cafeteria.Copy !req
3. That didn't stop you
from eating my dessert.Copy !req
4. The profiteroles weren't bad.
You didn't want me to starve, did you?Copy !req
5. He ate mine, too.
Daddy, take this before my arm falls off.Copy !req
6. Thanks, honey.Copy !req
7. Everybody... One last shot.Copy !req
8. Oh, Dad. Do you think we could
draw the line at 600 photographs?Copy !req
9. 601. Quit griping.Copy !req
10. And hold up that eyesore, Robert.Copy !req
11. God knows when
you're gonna win another one.Copy !req
12. Irv, you wanna stay the night?
It's awful late to head back to the city.Copy !req
13. What, I get to stay at the home of
the Bay Area Doctor of the Year?Copy !req
14. It's a deal.Copy !req
15. Proud of you, Robert.Copy !req
16. Up, hold it up. Say "cheese".Copy !req
17. "Presented to Dr Robert Wieder, MD."Copy !req
18. "For the great wisdom,
skill and compassionCopy !req
19. he exhibits in the practice of medicine."Copy !req
20. It's gonna look awfully nice in your office.Copy !req
21. What are you thinking?Copy !req
22. How this is just the cherry on top.Copy !req
23. How lucky I am.Copy !req
24. - What is it?
- Downstairs motion sensor.Copy !req
25. - You think Dad tripped the alarm?
- The alarm hasn't been tripped.Copy !req
26. You got me. I'll go check it out.Copy !req
27. Irv?Copy !req
28. Irving? Is everything all right?Copy !req
29. What do you think? Is this a name,
possibly, or a code or an anagram?Copy !req
30. T-H-E-E-F. I assume it's supposed
to be T-H-I-E-F. "Thief."Copy !req
31. Insert your own Dan Quayle joke here.Copy !req
32. Lousy spelling aside, who's the thief?Copy !req
33. Well, that's certainly one question.
I've got many.Copy !req
34. "Mulder, why are we here?"Copy !req
35. To be fair, I might have used the words,Copy !req
36. "Mulder, how is this an X-File?"Copy !req
37. You see that?
You always keep me guessing.Copy !req
38. This is Dr Irving Thalbro, age 66.
Found hanged with his throat cut.Copy !req
39. His family tucked away in bed, not 40 feet
from here, didn't see or hear anything.Copy !req
40. Which would shine
the light of suspicion on them.Copy !req
41. Except they called it in, and there's no
evidence at all to link them to the crime.Copy !req
42. Which is why the police are rightly
wondering if Dr Thalbro killed himself.Copy !req
43. Except who, then, did this? Blood pattern
doesn't indicate that the good doctor did it,Copy !req
44. who I assume could read and write
above a 4th-grade level.Copy !req
45. I'll admit this is not an open-and-shut case.Copy !req
46. But it doesn't make it an X-File.Copy !req
47. There is one detail that does.Copy !req
48. This.Copy !req
49. - Dirt?
- Dirt.Copy !req
50. It's a very powerful component of hex-craft.Copy !req
51. As well as the pattern in which it was
originally arranged. Check this out.Copy !req
52. Looks like a human form.Copy !req
53. Hex-craft, as in putting a curse on someone?Copy !req
54. Murdering them magically?Copy !req
55. That's what it looks like to me.
I know what you're gonna say.Copy !req
56. No, hex-craft. I'll buy that as the intent here.Copy !req
57. It certainly jibes with the evidence.
I say we talk to the family.Copy !req
58. I'll always keep you guessing.Copy !req
59. It was probably the greatest night of my life.Copy !req
60. Until...Copy !req
61. Can you think of any enemies
your father-in-law might have made?Copy !req
62. Maybe inadvertently through his medical
practice or a business dealing, perhaps?Copy !req
63. Everybody loved Irving.
Everyone who knew him.Copy !req
64. He was...Copy !req
65. No. I can't conceive of it.Copy !req
66. Dr Wieder, do you have any enemies?Copy !req
67. I'm sorry. I have to ask.
There was a message left.Copy !req
68. If it doesn't refer to your father-in-law,
it may refer to you.Copy !req
69. "Theef?" Are you asking if my Dad's a thief?Copy !req
70. He saves people's lives. He's a good man.Copy !req
71. Honey...Copy !req
72. If I have any enemies, I don't know them.Copy !req
73. At the home of his son-in-law,
Dr Robert Wieder,Copy !req
74. Dr Irving Thalbro was found
hanged at 1.48 this morning.Copy !req
75. Though details are sketchy, the police
are treating the case as a murder.Copy !req
76. This is due in part to clues
or evidence left at the scene,Copy !req
77. according to a spokesman,Copy !req
78. who only characterized them
as bizarre or ritualistic...Copy !req
79. Hello? Mr Peattie?Copy !req
80. Mr Peattie, I know you're in there.Copy !req
81. Are you cooking?Copy !req
82. You aren't supposed to be cooking.Copy !req
83. You aren't supposed to be cooking.Copy !req
84. That smell like somethin' you wanna eat?Copy !req
85. Well, what is it, then?Copy !req
86. Medicine.Copy !req
87. Oh, all right.
Just so long as you're not cooking.Copy !req
88. Seems like you could use yourself
a poultice for your back.Copy !req
89. Old Peattie'll fix you right up. Be ready later.Copy !req
90. Hey, Scully. This dirt we found?Copy !req
91. Gas chromatograph shows spikes
of methane and sulphur compounds,Copy !req
92. the signature of decay.Copy !req
93. It's graveyard dirt.
Also known as conjure dust.Copy !req
94. One of the most powerful hexing elements,
whether for good or evil.Copy !req
95. Not the kind of stuff
you wanna be on the wrong end of.Copy !req
96. Go ahead, Scully, keep me guessing.Copy !req
97. Kuru.Copy !req
98. The disease that
New Guinea tribesmen get?Copy !req
99. From eating their relatives' brains.Copy !req
100. I thought my grandpa
slurping his soup was bad.Copy !req
101. Practically speaking,
kuru doesn't exist any more.Copy !req
102. Not in New Guinea
and certainly not in the US.Copy !req
103. But this man's cerebellum and his striatum
clearly show signs of it, Mulder.Copy !req
104. These amyloid plaques?
His brain is riddled with them.Copy !req
105. - Kuru makes you crazy.
- Stark-raving, among other things.Copy !req
106. But, in this case, stark-raving mad enough
to slit his own throat and hang himself.Copy !req
107. That's what his autopsy shows. From
the wound pattern to the blood spray,Copy !req
108. this man did it to himself, no question.Copy !req
109. Unless... it was inflicted upon him.
The graveyard dirt, the hex.Copy !req
110. He was given this disease
so that he would kill himself.Copy !req
111. Nan? Honey?Copy !req
112. Robert? Look at this.Copy !req
113. Who would've taken that?Copy !req
114. The police, probably.Copy !req
115. Could be they needed it as evidence.Copy !req
116. - We're not under investigation.
- That's not what I'm afraid of.Copy !req
117. Then you have nothing to worry about.
Come on, let's go to bed.Copy !req
118. You need some rest. A good night's sleep.Copy !req
119. No, I can't sleep. I'm telling you, I'm scared.Copy !req
120. I can't stay here. I can't live in
this house any more. Lucy can't.Copy !req
121. Not after what's happened here.
And now this picture of us is missing.Copy !req
122. - It'll turn up.
- No.Copy !req
123. Nothing that's happened here
makes any sense.Copy !req
124. It does. Nan...Copy !req
125. Listen to me. Your Dad was ill.Copy !req
126. He had a kind of progressive dementia.
That's what the FBI autopsy showed.Copy !req
127. I reviewed their findings,
and I have to agree.Copy !req
128. Honey, we will get through this.Copy !req
129. Oh, my God!Copy !req
130. Nan! Honey?Copy !req
131. Oh, my God.Copy !req
132. - Nan!
- Dad?Copy !req
133. Lucy, call 911.Copy !req
134. Call 911!Copy !req
135. Nan!Copy !req
136. Dr Wieder.Copy !req
137. We understand you've made a diagnosis.Copy !req
138. Diffuse cutaneous leishmaniasis.
Old-world type.Copy !req
139. - I take it that's rare.
- In San Francisco, it's unheard of.Copy !req
140. Maybe in Central Africa...Copy !req
141. - The rarer, the better.
- What do you mean by that?Copy !req
142. Someone directed this
to happen to your wife,Copy !req
143. just as someone directed
what happened at your father-in-law.Copy !req
144. My enemy you were talking about.
The one who thinks I'm a thief.Copy !req
145. You're a doctor. Explain to your partner
that no one can direct a person to get sick.Copy !req
146. The dirt in your bed drawn in the shape
of a body, that's indicative of folk magic.Copy !req
147. That's what I believe
is being used against you.Copy !req
148. Folk magic.Copy !req
149. You mean like Baba Yaga. Gypsies.Copy !req
150. I was actually thinking
less Eastern and more Celtic.Copy !req
151. Maybe Scots-Irish or Appalachian, even.Copy !req
152. I'm supposed to take this seriously?Copy !req
153. Sir, regardless of the particulars,Copy !req
154. I think it's clear that
there was an intruder in your home,Copy !req
155. and I think it would be prudent
for you to accept our protectionCopy !req
156. and help us to identify this person.Copy !req
157. Prudent for me would be
to continue treating my wife.Copy !req
158. If we don't stop who's causing this,
your treatments won't matter.Copy !req
159. So, modern medicine
and all it encompasses,Copy !req
160. artificial hearts, laser surgery,
gene therapy, to name a few,Copy !req
161. all of that arrayed against
a pile of magic dirt,Copy !req
162. and you tell me I'll lose.Copy !req
163. I have MRI's to look at.Copy !req
164. Yeah, win him over.Copy !req
165. He will lose unless
we can find a way to stop it.Copy !req
166. What do you suggest?Copy !req
167. A second opinion.Copy !req
168. Truth always hurts, don't it, doc?Copy !req
169. Who are you?Copy !req
170. Is this you? You did this?Copy !req
171. - What do you want from me?
- Don't you be frettin' none about that.Copy !req
172. I gettin' my nickel's worth.
You're doing a fine job so far.Copy !req
173. What the hell are you talking about?
What is this all about?Copy !req
174. Lynette Peattie.Copy !req
175. And don't you be saying
you don't recollect her! Uh-uh!Copy !req
176. No, no, no.Copy !req
177. Look, if I've done anything to upset you, I...Copy !req
178. It's no use trying to intimidate me
if I don't know how I've offended you!Copy !req
179. Tell me!Copy !req
180. What makes me a thief?Copy !req
181. You be a smart man.Copy !req
182. I figure you ponder it a while,
it gonna come to you.Copy !req
183. Wait!Copy !req
184. No. No matter how I spell it,
there's no Lynette Peattie.Copy !req
185. - She's not in my patient file?
- She's not in any doctor's patient file.Copy !req
186. No one by that name has ever
been admitted to the hospital.Copy !req
187. You think you treated her?Copy !req
188. What about Jane Does?Copy !req
189. You treated three in the last two years.Copy !req
190. Pull the files, please.Copy !req
191. You remember old Boon. I know you do.Copy !req
192. This mangy old ugly dog.Copy !req
193. Smart. People-smart, and then some.Copy !req
194. He sure did love you.Copy !req
195. He crawled up under that house
the very day you left.Copy !req
196. Wouldn't come out for nothin'.Copy !req
197. Not no ham bone. Nothin'.Copy !req
198. He just knew that his life was over.Copy !req
199. You stole his heart, too.Copy !req
200. You shouldn't have oughta left.Copy !req
201. Oh, you're there. I... wanted to thank you.Copy !req
202. That poultice worked a miracle on my back.Copy !req
203. I was about to knock and...
and ask if I could get a little more.Copy !req
204. Whatever that is, it sure is stinky.Copy !req
205. Stinky's good.Copy !req
206. Good afternoon. Can I help you?Copy !req
207. Yeah, we're looking for some
alternative medical advice,Copy !req
208. You've come to the right place.Copy !req
209. I get a lot of folks fed up with their HMOs.Copy !req
210. - Actually, we're not here for us.
- Yeah.Copy !req
211. Oh, chief. Back in your pocket.Copy !req
212. It's dirt.Copy !req
213. It's goofer dust, is what it is. I don't
know what your intentions are with that.Copy !req
214. - Goofer dust?
- Conjure dust.Copy !req
215. How would you go about making
somebody sick using that?Copy !req
216. We're investigating a murder.
That's why I'm asking.Copy !req
217. Oh.Copy !req
218. Speaking strictly in the academic sense,Copy !req
219. you'd spread it on or near your victim
to direct misfortune.Copy !req
220. So you could give them
any illness you wanted,Copy !req
221. one that you chose specifically for them?Copy !req
222. That's a lot trickier.
It requires something special.Copy !req
223. - A voodoo doll.
- No, they're called poppets.Copy !req
224. Inside you place three thorns
of a blood-red rose,Copy !req
225. a strand of hair and a photo of your victim.Copy !req
226. Maybe other items as well.
Depends on the operator.Copy !req
227. You sew it up, say your spell.Copy !req
228. How would you counteract one of these?Copy !req
229. It depends on who you're dealing with,Copy !req
230. but if the person you're looking for
is powerful enough to bring about a murder,Copy !req
231. he's probably charmed.Copy !req
232. - Which would mean what?
- It means just that.Copy !req
233. He's drawing on the energy of a charm.
A source of magic power.Copy !req
234. It could be any item,
provided that it's very important to him.Copy !req
235. Something that holds
great meaning for him,Copy !req
236. and unless you can separate him
from his charm, you're out of luck.Copy !req
237. Poppin' corn.Copy !req
238. You gotta put the money in first.Copy !req
239. Don't look like no poppin' corn to me.Copy !req
240. Put it in the microwave.
Then you get your popcorn.Copy !req
241. Microwave.Copy !req
242. I heard tell of such a thing.
It's a true wonder.Copy !req
243. Radiation come from the heart of the atom.Copy !req
244. I think it be God's own glow.Copy !req
245. You're gonna be very happy. The drug
therapy I'm giving her is working wonders.Copy !req
246. Come on. Come see.Copy !req
247. - Mom.
- Hi, sweetie.Copy !req
248. - You look good.
- Yeah, right.Copy !req
249. But I am definitely feeling better.Copy !req
250. How come I have to go through
this thing again?Copy !req
251. This thing gives off about as much
radiation as a dental x-ray.Copy !req
252. - Nothing to worry about.
- I know. It still scares me.Copy !req
253. Wish me luck?Copy !req
254. Doctor!Copy !req
255. Switch it off. Switch it off!Copy !req
256. All done.Copy !req
257. How could somebody
orchestrate all of this?Copy !req
258. - You believe your wife was murdered?
- It was no accident.Copy !req
259. There was no malfunction of the machine.Copy !req
260. - Yes, I believe she was murdered.
- And you still have no idea why?Copy !req
261. The pathologist found this
branded into your wife's chest.Copy !req
262. Sir, we can't help you
if you withhold information from us.Copy !req
263. A man came to see me yesterday.Copy !req
264. My age, older maybe. Tall.Copy !req
265. He mentioned someone
named Lynette Peattie.Copy !req
266. I didn't know who she was at first.Copy !req
267. Turns out she was a Jane Doe
I treated last October.Copy !req
268. She was in a bus rollover.
Came in amid a wave of victims.Copy !req
269. She was the worst off.Copy !req
270. I could barely put fluids in fast enough
to keep up with the blood loss.Copy !req
271. We were rushing around, triaging people.Copy !req
272. Everybody knew she was dying.Copy !req
273. It was only a matter of time.Copy !req
274. She was in agony.Copy !req
275. This was my course of treatment.Copy !req
276. You gave her morphine. Lots of it.Copy !req
277. I pushed it myself.Copy !req
278. She kept screaming...Copy !req
279. and her heart rate kept climbing.Copy !req
280. So... I kept pushing.Copy !req
281. I took maybe the last 20 minutes of her life.Copy !req
282. It was a fair trade to make for the pain.Copy !req
283. Her father doesn't agree.Copy !req
284. What makes you think it's her father?Copy !req
285. He thinks you robbed him of his family,Copy !req
286. and that's why he's systematically
robbing you of yours.Copy !req
287. What am I supposed to do?
My daughter Lucy...Copy !req
288. Don't do anything.
Let us find a way to protect you.Copy !req
289. How?Copy !req
290. I have an idea where to start.Copy !req
291. If Lynette Peattie was Carlos the Jackal,
it would've been easier to track her down.Copy !req
292. There's no birth certificate,
no social security number.Copy !req
293. Better known to the world
as Jane Doe 6149.Copy !req
294. Her name shows up once in the records
of a VISTA inoculation programme, 1981.Copy !req
295. - The Allegheny Mountains of West Virginia.
- Deepest Appalachia.Copy !req
296. That's when her father, Oral Peattie, refused
to allow her to be inoculated against polio.Copy !req
297. But there's no address for him.
There's no record of him whatsoever.Copy !req
298. So, Mulder, why are we exhuming this girl?Copy !req
299. I'm thinking of her dear old backwoods dad
and where he gets all his graveyard dirt.Copy !req
300. Here? His daughter's grave?Copy !req
301. The cultist we spoke to said the person
casting these magic spells was charmed,Copy !req
302. that he had a source of power that was very
meaningful to him and he kept it close by.Copy !req
303. - Lynette Peattie's body.
- That's my guess.Copy !req
304. So as long as her body remains resting in
peace in the Bay Area, he remains powerful.Copy !req
305. But if we were to ship it off to Quantico...Copy !req
306. Hold that.Copy !req
307. Mr Peattie? Mr Peattie, my pain's back.Copy !req
308. I was wondering if I could get
a little more of that poultice?Copy !req
309. Mr Peattie?Copy !req
310. I'm sorry. I didn't know you were home. I...Copy !req
311. All right, thank you.
They'll be there before dark.Copy !req
312. - You all set?
- We still don't know where we're going.Copy !req
313. We rented a cabin.
It's important you get out of town.Copy !req
314. You believe by leaving, we'll weaken him.Copy !req
315. What's important is that he believes that.Copy !req
316. And if he can't find you, he can't hurt you.Copy !req
317. How do you know he'll come forward?Copy !req
318. Because he hasn't gotten
everything he wants.Copy !req
319. John Gilnitz
is on the scene.Copy !req
320. San Mateo County health officials
are at a loss to explainCopy !req
321. the sudden onset of
the 56-year-old woman's bizarre illness,Copy !req
322. but insist there is no cause for alarm.Copy !req
323. Pretty weird.Copy !req
324. There has been no official diagnosis.Copy !req
325. Sources say the woman contracted
the rare but deadly group A streptococcus,Copy !req
326. better known as the flesh-eating disease.Copy !req
327. Freakin' scary.Copy !req
328. Bathroom's clear.Copy !req
329. Clear here.Copy !req
330. Scully.Copy !req
331. - Peattie may be onto us.
- What happened?Copy !req
332. I found out where he lives. He's cleared out
and taken his magic charm with him.Copy !req
333. At least as much of it as he can carry.
My guess is he's looking for you.Copy !req
334. I didn't see anybody following us.Copy !req
335. Just keep an eye out. I'm on my way.Copy !req
336. OK.Copy !req
337. Soon. Very soon.Copy !req
338. What was that?Copy !req
339. Stay where you are.Copy !req
340. Oh! Oh, God.Copy !req
341. - What is it?
- I don't know.Copy !req
342. I can't...Copy !req
343. I can't see.Copy !req
344. Agent Scully!Copy !req
345. Just stay where you are! Stay down.Copy !req
346. Oh, doctor!Copy !req
347. Leave him alone!Copy !req
348. - Daddy!
- Get back. Get back!Copy !req
349. Don't make me hurt you!Copy !req
350. Can't hurt the man
who ain't got nothin' left.Copy !req
351. You know who I be now?Copy !req
352. Maybe you can recollect my daughter.Copy !req
353. I remember. I never forgot.Copy !req
354. I'm sorry for your loss,Copy !req
355. but I did everything
humanly possible to save her.Copy !req
356. You arrogant little man.Copy !req
357. I did everything I could! And when
I couldn't do any more, I eased her suffering.Copy !req
358. By killin' her.Copy !req
359. If I be there... I save her!Copy !req
360. You weren't there!Copy !req
361. Buried her in some field.
No name on her.Copy !req
362. Far away from her people.
That don't be right.Copy !req
363. So now, little man,Copy !req
364. I gonna show you what be possible.Copy !req
365. I gonna show you an eye for an eye.Copy !req
366. You're not gonna hurt my daughter!Copy !req
367. Daddy!Copy !req
368. Maybe.Copy !req
369. Daddy! Daddy!Copy !req
370. Doctor! What's happening?Copy !req
371. Daddy!Copy !req
372. Dr Wieder!Copy !req
373. You're killing him!Copy !req
374. Stop!Copy !req
375. Daddy! Daddy!Copy !req
376. Lynette Peattie's body is on its way
back home to Indiola, West Virginia.Copy !req
377. She's going back to her people after all.Copy !req
378. You know. Mulder,
I would've made the same call...Copy !req
379. as a doctor.Copy !req
380. If I was certain that I couldn't save her life
and she was in that much pain...Copy !req
381. I would've done what Wieder did.Copy !req
382. It seems pretty clear-cut.Copy !req
383. Except maybe it's not.Copy !req
384. You're wondering if maybe
Peattie could've saved her life?Copy !req
385. You do keep me guessing.Copy !req
386. I made this.Copy !req
