1. - Hey, you sure I can't help?
- Absolutely not. All set.Copy !req
2. Martha, you make this look so easy.Copy !req
3. - It's not too much?
- Are you kidding? This is just perfect.Copy !req
4. It's exactly the way Easter should be.Copy !req
5. - Mommy! Mommy, look!
- Oh, good for you, Michelle!Copy !req
6. What you've done is really fabulous.
The kids are gonna remember this for ever.Copy !req
7. (Martha) I hope there are some things
they won't remember.Copy !req
8. - What is she doing here?
- Her son is in Michelle's class. Be nice.Copy !req
9. - Jenny, hi. It's good to see you.
- Hey, Ellen. Martha.Copy !req
10. She's shaken up, Howard.
It took me two hours to put her to bed.Copy !req
11. All I'm saying is... No, I didn't see any bird.Copy !req
12. But whatever it was, it scared her
and she wants to be with her daddy.Copy !req
13. That's all I'm saying.Copy !req
14. Can't you come home one day early?Copy !req
15. All right. Fine.Copy !req
16. I love you, too.Copy !req
17. - Anything?
- No, she'll come.Copy !req
18. Matter of time.Copy !req
19. I hope you realise
there's no evidence whatsoeverCopy !req
20. that this mystery woman of yours
has even committed a crime.Copy !req
21. Though her wardrobe comes close.Copy !req
22. Six prostitutes were seen with her
at Dirty Dames, never to be seen again.Copy !req
23. Not only might she be
a female serial killer, rare in itself,Copy !req
24. but twice police raided that club to arrest her.Copy !req
25. And twice they came up empty-handed.Copy !req
26. She's on tape going in, the exits
are covered, she's nowhere to be found.Copy !req
27. What happens to her?
Does she disappear? Turn invisible?Copy !req
28. I hope we catch her so she can tell us...Copy !req
29. before I have to spend another night here.Copy !req
30. I don't know about you,
but I find this all very depressing.Copy !req
31. This round-the-clock exposure
to the seamy underbelly.Copy !req
32. It's the job, Scully.
Vigilance in the face of privation.Copy !req
33. The sheer will it takes
to sit in this crappy roomCopy !req
34. spying on the dregs of society
until our suspect surfaces.Copy !req
35. There is something ennobling in that.Copy !req
36. Mulder.Copy !req
37. Now?Copy !req
38. All right. I gotta go.Copy !req
39. Mulder?Copy !req
40. - You wanted to see me, sir?
- Yeah, sit down.Copy !req
41. A woman named Martha Crittendon
disappeared from her home in Vermont.Copy !req
42. Local police haven't
turned up any sign of her.Copy !req
43. - I hope you may be able to.
- I'm already on a case.Copy !req
44. You're on a stakeout. I'm confident
Agent Scully can continue in your absence.Copy !req
45. Why? What did I do?Copy !req
46. There may be aspects to this that speak
to your strengths as an investigator.Copy !req
47. Specifically . . .?Copy !req
48. Ravens.Copy !req
49. What do you know about 'em? Their
mythological or... paranormal significance.Copy !req
50. Well, the raven is considered
a very powerful symbolCopy !req
51. in certain Norse, Celtic and Native American
cultures, mostly a negative one.Copy !req
52. Indians view it as a deceiving spirit.
Christianity associates it with evil.Copy !req
53. And then of course there's Poe's "Raven"
and "nevermore" and all that stuff.Copy !req
54. Crittendon's seven-year-old daughterCopy !req
55. claimed she was attacked by a raven
earlier the day her mother disappeared.Copy !req
56. Later, she heard one inside the house before
she discovered her mother was missing.Copy !req
57. No, really, what did I do?Copy !req
58. It's the only lead that hasn't been explored.
I wanna know if it has a bearing on the case.Copy !req
59. I assume the fact that
Crittendon's father is a federal judgeCopy !req
60. also has a little bearing on this case?Copy !req
61. It's been made clear to me
that locating her is my top priority.Copy !req
62. I'm making it yours as well.Copy !req
63. Agent Mulder? Phil Adderly.
Welcome to Bethany. I appreciate the help.Copy !req
64. Sure. I don't know
how much help I'm gonna be.Copy !req
65. I know you already have a lot of
good investigators on the case.Copy !req
66. Want to take a quick look around?Copy !req
67. - Tell me about Martha Crittendon.
- She and my wife Ellen are best friends.Copy !req
68. Martha's... much admired here.Copy !req
69. She's devoted to her family,
active in the community.Copy !req
70. I mean, needless to say,
the whole town is very concerned.Copy !req
71. - What's your theory on what happened?
- I'm hoping you'll tell me.Copy !req
72. There's no ransom note,
no prints or blood evidence.Copy !req
73. - Husband was out of town?
- In Miami, at a conference. It checks out.Copy !req
74. Howard didn't have anything to do with this.Copy !req
75. What do you know about a raven?Copy !req
76. Yeah, Michelle, their little girl,
was saying something about that.Copy !req
77. You got me. Poor kid.Copy !req
78. - You wanna talk to her?
- Not necessary.Copy !req
79. You sure Martha's last name isn't Stewart?Copy !req
80. Tell me about it. Last year this place
made the cover of New England Home.Copy !req
81. How many talons would you say a raven had?Copy !req
82. Never mind.Copy !req
83. You know what was hanging here?Copy !req
84. It was a mirror. It was found broken.Copy !req
85. - You had no other signs of struggle?
- Not a one.Copy !req
86. Does that mean something to you?Copy !req
87. Howard, this is Agent Mulder with the FBI.Copy !req
88. Sir. I hope we can help.Copy !req
89. I appreciate your coming.Copy !req
90. I'm wondering now
if this isn't just a waste of your time.Copy !req
91. How so?Copy !req
92. With all the police coming and going,
this place was a wreck.Copy !req
93. I was straightening up
and I... found something.Copy !req
94. Birth-control pills?Copy !req
95. I think Martha was having an affair.Copy !req
96. After Michelle, we decided
not to have more children.Copy !req
97. I had a vasectomy.Copy !req
98. They're in Martha's name.
She ordered them off the Internet.Copy !req
99. Because, I guess, small towns talk.Copy !req
100. Of course, then I started
looking all around and l...Copy !req
101. found this in the pocket of her favourite coat.Copy !req
102. I don't know what this goes to,
or what it means, if anything, but the pills?Copy !req
103. Do you have any idea who
your wife may have been seeing?Copy !req
104. Whoever he is, Martha may be with him.Copy !req
105. It explains why we haven't found her.Copy !req
106. She doesn't wanna be found.Copy !req
107. Cute kid.Copy !req
108. Oh, Jenny, you scared me.Copy !req
109. - You do those up yourself?
- Yeah.Copy !req
110. Martha and you were good friends.
You must be pretty upset.Copy !req
111. Of course. I'm sure we all are.Copy !req
112. Maybe you'd like some of these
to put up on your side of town?Copy !req
113. "My side of town"?Copy !req
114. Yeah, sure.Copy !req
115. I didn't mean that the way
it might've sounded.Copy !req
116. No, it just naturally comes out that way
when you think you're better than everyone.Copy !req
117. - You and Martha are two peas in a pod.
- Jenny, I don't think I'm better than anyone.Copy !req
118. You and me got more
in common than you know.Copy !req
119. Yeah. Right.Copy !req
120. Right, thanks.Copy !req
121. Whoever Martha was seeing
covered their tracks.Copy !req
122. Phone records show nothing.
You think this person took her? Harmed her?Copy !req
123. I wouldn't rule it out, but I doubt it.Copy !req
124. A raven has four talons. That matches
the scratches on Martha's mantel.Copy !req
125. You're not saying a raven's
the reason Martha's gone missing?Copy !req
126. No, not a raven itself,
but in folklore ravens are companions to evil.Copy !req
127. Evil spirits, witches, Warlocks,
that kind of thing.Copy !req
128. I appreciate the different tack
you're taking on this investigation,Copy !req
129. but this whole bird thing?Copy !req
130. And you're basing this
on the word of a seven-year-old girl.Copy !req
131. Well, there was also a broken mirror
in Martha's house.Copy !req
132. Mirrors are considered items of enchantment.
A broken one... means something.Copy !req
133. I'm not sure what, but it means something.Copy !req
134. Hey, sweet girl.Copy !req
135. - This is my daughter Katie, my wife Ellen.
- We're so glad you're here.Copy !req
136. Our house is your house.
We have a spare guest room all set up.Copy !req
137. No arguments. We're so grateful
that you're here to help find Martha.Copy !req
138. Really, it's the least we can do.Copy !req
139. OK.Copy !req
140. The Bureau can reimburse you
for room and board.Copy !req
141. No, don't be silly.
No, this is just a typical meal around here.Copy !req
142. Supper is usually the only time we see
each other, and I like to make it special.Copy !req
143. Excuse me. Thanks.Copy !req
144. Mulder.Copy !req
145. Mulder, please tell me I can go home.Copy !req
146. Hey, Scully. How's the stakeout?Copy !req
147. The furnace broke.
I can just about see my breath in here.Copy !req
148. Ouch. I'm sorry to hear that.Copy !req
149. And I've witnessed a couple of hundred
things I'd like to erase from my brain.Copy !req
150. - But as of yet, no mystery woman.
- Well, she'll come.Copy !req
151. It's just a matter of time.
She'll show up, I'm sure.Copy !req
152. Not before I die of malnutrition.Copy !req
153. Tough it out. Whatever doesn't kill you
makes you stronger, right?Copy !req
154. No capers, thank you.Copy !req
155. - I'm sorry, what?
- I said, what a crazy caper.Copy !req
156. I'll talk to you later, and keep warm. Bye.Copy !req
157. Did I hear you say stakeout? What's the case?Copy !req
158. It's family time. Don't make our guest
talk shop at the dinner table.Copy !req
159. Fair enough.Copy !req
160. - Cheers.
- Cheers.Copy !req
161. What's the matter, sweetheart?
I thought that was your favourite.Copy !req
162. It tastes different when Mommy makes it.Copy !req
163. Yeah.Copy !req
164. I know.Copy !req
165. How about we go get hamburgers?Copy !req
166. Would you like that instead?Copy !req
167. It's back.Copy !req
168. - Everything's all right. I'll be right back.
- OK.Copy !req
169. What do you make of these claw marks?Copy !req
170. One time I saw the victim of a bear attack
look somethin' like that.Copy !req
171. Only bears don't plant their kill
in the rose garden.Copy !req
172. - I was gonna say.
- Body's been around here for a while.Copy !req
173. - Probably since she went missing.
- What about your ravens?Copy !req
174. - Howard said somethin' about ravens.
- Yeah, feedin' on her. See?Copy !req
175. - You OK?
- I'm not arresting Howard.Copy !req
176. I don't care how it looks.
Body buried in his own yard.Copy !req
177. - He didn't do this.
- I agree.Copy !req
178. Poor guy has suffered enough already.Copy !req
179. What are you doing? You shouldn't be here.Copy !req
180. What? Oh, my God, Martha, no.Copy !req
181. Ellen, honey, I am so sorry.Copy !req
182. - It can't be.
- It's OK, it's OK.Copy !req
183. The thing that did that to her?Copy !req
184. I think I saw it today.Copy !req
185. I saw its reflection.Copy !req
186. It had a face out of a nightmare.
These long claws, the kind that could...Copy !req
187. The window shattered, I don't know how.
When I turned around, it was gone.Copy !req
188. I don't know what it was.
I didn't think it was real.Copy !req
189. - But then when I saw Martha's face...
- Honey, you've been through a lot.Copy !req
190. You don't believe me?Copy !req
191. I do.Copy !req
192. You said the car window shattered
after you saw the reflection.Copy !req
193. There's a broken mirror in Martha's house.
I don't think that's a coincidence.Copy !req
194. - But what could it mean?
- Mirrors are considered doorways.Copy !req
195. In the Victorian era, they built
mirrored rooms called psychomantiums,Copy !req
196. where they thought they could
summon spirits from the spirit world.Copy !req
197. Denizens from the spirit world
were brought into this world.Copy !req
198. - "Denizens of the spirit world"?
- You asked about the raven.Copy !req
199. The raven is a carrion bird
attracted to death and decay.Copy !req
200. What if this entity that you saw
is somehow a personification of that?Copy !req
201. What if this creature was
brought forth to attack Martha?Copy !req
202. Then the question becomes:
who summoned it forth?Copy !req
203. Ellen, do you know
if Martha had any enemies?Copy !req
204. Can you think of anyone at all
who would have wished her harm?Copy !req
205. - I sure as hell had nothing to do with it.
- They're just routine questions.Copy !req
206. Answer 'em and we'll be outta here.Copy !req
207. We understand there was no love lost
between you and Martha.Copy !req
208. And where do you understand that from?Copy !req
209. - Mrs Sheriff, right?
- It's not exactly a town secret.Copy !req
210. Right. Like there aren't
enough of those already.Copy !req
211. Queen Martha and her perfect
little Easter-egg hunts.Copy !req
212. She's so above the rest of us.Copy !req
213. Except I heard she was
stepping out on her husband,Copy !req
214. knockin' boots with who-knows-who.Copy !req
215. I'm not happy she's dead and all,
but you need to look into that.Copy !req
216. Let's stay on the subject of you.
On your police record, for instance.Copy !req
217. You don't suffer people that don't give you
respect. The hair-salon owner you assaulted.Copy !req
218. That was for ever ago. And I paid for that.Copy !req
219. And I had nothing to do with Martha.Copy !req
220. - Where were you the night she disappeared?
- At home, all night.Copy !req
221. I gotta get back to work.Copy !req
222. I don't know about you, but I believe her.Copy !req
223. - She didn't do it. I just don't get that vibe.
- Fair enough.Copy !req
224. But why did she lie about her alibi?
I got that vibe pretty clear.Copy !req
225. - Excuse me.
- I'll be in the car.Copy !req
226. Mulder.Copy !req
227. When you find me dead,
my desiccated corpse propped upCopy !req
228. staring lifelessly through the telescopeCopy !req
229. at drunken frat boys peeing
and vomiting into the gutter,Copy !req
230. just know that my last thoughts
were of you... and how I'd like to kill you.Copy !req
231. - I'm sorry, who is this?
- It's a freak show, Mulder.Copy !req
232. It's a nonstop parade of
every single lowlife imaginable.Copy !req
233. The view may not be too different here.Copy !req
234. It's dressed up nicer, but under the surface
it's the same seamy underbelly.Copy !req
235. It's not the same. Trust me.Copy !req
236. This case is more interesting than I thought.
I could use your help.Copy !req
237. Are you talking about a reprieve for me?Copy !req
238. There's a murder victim that I'd like you
to autopsy for me. What do you think?Copy !req
239. Scully? You still there? Hello?Copy !req
240. - That van is back.
- What? What'd you say?Copy !req
241. Nothin'. I'll talk to you later, OK?Copy !req
242. Katie...Copy !req
243. Get away from her!Copy !req
244. It's OK. Come on.Copy !req
245. Be quiet, now. Shh.Copy !req
246. Shh. Be quiet.Copy !req
247. For God... Ellen?Copy !req
248. Ellen, what happened?Copy !req
249. Are you feeling a little better, Ellen?Copy !req
250. Can you just talk to me
a little bit about what happened?Copy !req
251. - It came back.
- It came back. The creature you saw?Copy !req
252. It was here, Phil. It chased me.Copy !req
253. It's all right, honey.Copy !req
254. Please don't encourage this.
It's not what she needs.Copy !req
255. - I believe she saw something.
- I believe she didn't.Copy !req
256. Her best friend just died, for God's sake.Copy !req
257. These imaginings of hers
are brought on by stress.Copy !req
258. I've been through the entire house and I saw
no indication that anyone else was here.Copy !req
259. - What about the two broken mirrors?
- What about them?Copy !req
260. You think broken mirrors have a deeper
meaning but you can't tell me what it is.Copy !req
261. And, in this case,
I'm thinking Ellen broke 'em herself.Copy !req
262. What?Copy !req
263. Number six. It's a match to the one Howard
Crittendon found in his wife's coat pocket.Copy !req
264. - What would this be doing here?
- I don't know.Copy !req
265. Ellen? Do you recognise this key?Copy !req
266. I was sweeping the floor
and it got caught up in the sweeper.Copy !req
267. I never saw it before today.Copy !req
268. You found it before you were attacked?Copy !req
269. Right before. Right before I saw the raven.Copy !req
270. Let me see if my department can run
this down, find out what lock it goes to.Copy !req
271. I can't do this any more.Copy !req
272. - Can't, huh?
- No. We gotta stop.Copy !req
273. Well, that's too bad.Copy !req
274. - Good morning.
- Good morning.Copy !req
275. Wow.Copy !req
276. - Have you seen my shirt?
- I'm sorry. It's over here.Copy !req
277. You didn't have to go the trouble of...Copy !req
278. No, it's not trouble. Actually, it helps me.Copy !req
279. Whenever my life's a mess,
I just do some housework.Copy !req
280. - Gives me the illusion I'm in control.
- Maybe I should try that sometime.Copy !req
281. - Have a seat.
- Thanks.Copy !req
282. Yikes. Wow.Copy !req
283. - Just Phil's breakfast times two.
- Wow, Phil is livin' large.Copy !req
284. - Where is he this morning?
- Probably out on a call.Copy !req
285. He'll be back. You just dig in.Copy !req
286. Whoa.Copy !req
287. Sorry. Do you need milk?Copy !req
288. I'm fine.Copy !req
289. I get the feeling you're not used
to anyone taking care of you.Copy !req
290. That has a vaguely pathetic ring to it.Copy !req
291. No, I just meant
I didn't notice a wedding band.Copy !req
292. Do you have a significant other?Copy !req
293. Not in the widely understood
definition of that term.Copy !req
294. The right woman'll come along
and change all that.Copy !req
295. Don't miss out
on home and family, Mr Mulder.Copy !req
296. With all the terrible things you must see
in your work, it could be a refuge for you.Copy !req
297. - Hi, honey.
- Sorry I'm late. Paperwork.Copy !req
298. - Morning, Agent Mulder.
- Morning.Copy !req
299. I'm gonna go check on Katie.Copy !req
300. - You sleep well?
- I only woke up once, when you went out.Copy !req
301. I'll try to be quieter next time.Copy !req
302. We've got a deputy out. We're short-handed.Copy !req
303. I had to take some calls.Copy !req
304. - All night?
- Yeah. We were busy.Copy !req
305. I spoke to the coroner this morning.Copy !req
306. The autopsy shows that Martha was
four weeks pregnant when she died,Copy !req
307. despite her birth-control pills.Copy !req
308. Probably didn't even know it.Copy !req
309. Any idea who the father might be?Copy !req
310. I mean, Howard's vasectomy
pretty much puts him out of the running.Copy !req
311. Any inkling who it might be?Copy !req
312. Just say what's on your mind, Agent.Copy !req
313. You have a piece of evidence in your
possession that I'd like back. A skeleton key.Copy !req
314. Number six.Copy !req
315. You wanna tell me what this unlocks?Copy !req
316. Once I find out, we'll talk again.Copy !req
317. I'm gonna hit the shower.Copy !req
318. I know, Brett sweetie. I'm sorry.Copy !req
319. No, I'm gonna be home real soon.Copy !req
320. Mommy had to work a double shift.Copy !req
321. I know. I'm gonna come home
and make you breakfast.Copy !req
322. I know. No, don't eat a lot of cookies.Copy !req
323. Only two.Copy !req
324. Yes, oatmeal cookies have oatmeal in them.Copy !req
325. OK. All right, three.Copy !req
326. I love you.Copy !req
327. Bye.Copy !req
328. Sheriff, you know that talk
I said we should have?Copy !req
329. I left her sleeping.Copy !req
330. So you were having an affair with
both Jenny and Martha Crittendon?Copy !req
331. Sheriff, you put the service
back into "protect and serve".Copy !req
332. I cared about both of them.Copy !req
333. They knew about each other?Copy !req
334. - But I'm assuming Ellen doesn't?
- No.Copy !req
335. But even if she did,
she'd find a way to rationalise it.Copy !req
336. I'm not defending myself, but...
two years ago I wanted a divorce.Copy !req
337. Ellen won't hear it.Copy !req
338. She got pregnant with Katie
and locked me up good.Copy !req
339. I think you got bigger problems
facing you right now.Copy !req
340. I didn't do this, I swear to you. Anyway,
what about the broken mirrors and the raven?Copy !req
341. You said it was an entity that did this.
Don't you still believe that?Copy !req
342. I said it was an entity
summoned by somebody else.Copy !req
343. Whether or not they even
knew about it. Is that possible?Copy !req
344. Can I be the reason for all this
and not even know about it?Copy !req
345. (Ellen) Hi, you've reached the Adderlys.
Please leave a message.Copy !req
346. Ellen, this is Phil.
I was really hopin' you'd be home.Copy !req
347. I'm in a bit of a situation here
and there's things we need to talk about.Copy !req
348. Agent Mulder's on his way
over there to explain.Copy !req
349. So if you get this message,
you just wait there for him, OK? Thanks.Copy !req
350. I think this sleepy little girl needs a nap.Copy !req
351. I do.Copy !req
352. I love you.Copy !req
353. Go to sleep now, OK?Copy !req
354. Ellen?Copy !req
355. Ellen?Copy !req
356. Mulder.Copy !req
357. Mulder?Copy !req
358. - I am free.
- You're free?Copy !req
359. I'm gonna go home, take a shower for,
I don't know, eight or nine hours,Copy !req
360. burn the clothes that I'm wearing
and then sleep until late spring.Copy !req
361. - You solved the X-File?
- Yes, except it's not an X-File.Copy !req
362. What? You didn't catch
our blonde mystery serial killer?Copy !req
363. We caught her. But she isn't a serial killer.Copy !req
364. Nor is she a blonde.Copy !req
365. And she isn't even a she.Copy !req
366. What are you talkin' about?Copy !req
367. These six missing prostitutes aren't dead.Copy !req
368. They are alive and well in a halfway house
set up by this mystery blonde,Copy !req
369. who happens to go by
the name of Mark Scott Eggbert.Copy !req
370. And Mr Eggbert wishes to acquaint lost souls
with the teachings of Christ.Copy !req
371. That's his hook, I guess.Copy !req
372. He dresses up like a fellow prostitute
to make the girls feel at ease.Copy !req
373. But this vanishing act is no more paranormal
than a change of wardrobe, Mulder.Copy !req
374. He goes into a place like a woman
and he comes out as a man. Right under...Copy !req
375. - Our noses.
- Exactly. A wolf in sheep's clothing.Copy !req
376. - Or, in this case, a sheep in wolf's clothing.
- Good work, Scully. I'll call you back later.Copy !req
377. Ellen?Copy !req
378. - Ellen, it's Agent Mulder.
- Please go away.Copy !req
379. Ellen, Jenny Uphouse is dead.Copy !req
380. Your husband is in custody suspected of
murdering her, only I don't think he did it.Copy !req
381. Do you?Copy !req
382. Ellen, you went out this morning
after breakfast. Where'd you go?Copy !req
383. - (Ellen) It's not me. It can't be.
- I think it is.Copy !req
384. Ellen, I think you have a whole other side
that you're afraid to face.Copy !req
385. That would explain all the broken mirrors.Copy !req
386. You don't wanna see yourself
for what you really are.Copy !req
387. You have to come out of there.Copy !req
388. Then what?Copy !req
389. My marriage, my life,
everything I thought I had...Copy !req
390. is nothing.Copy !req
391. It's all lies.Copy !req
392. I wish you'd never come here.Copy !req
393. Ellen, you need to open this door.Copy !req
394. - You wanna see her?
- Does she wanna see me?Copy !req
395. Doctors say she's got
some kind of dissociative disorder.Copy !req
396. A split personality.Copy !req
397. - That doesn't explain what happened.
- It's as close as science can come.Copy !req
398. I think the basic idea is right.
In some multiple personality disorders,Copy !req
399. an alternate personality displays
traits that the host doesn't have.Copy !req
400. Like nearsightedness or
high blood pressure or even diabetes.Copy !req
401. I think in Ellen's case
the... changes were just a lot more extreme.Copy !req
402. - Like Jekyll and Hyde?
- She wanted so much from her life with you.Copy !req
403. A perfect life. I think at some point she found
out you were cheating with Jenny and Martha.Copy !req
404. I don't know when, but at some point she did,Copy !req
405. and, like you said,
I think she had to rationalise that.Copy !req
406. She bottled up her anger, swallowed it,
and it had to come out some way.Copy !req
407. I think she did what she did
to protect her family.Copy !req
