"(panting)" "You don't believe me." "Can you hear me?" "Hey, I..." "I don't even knowyour name." "Oh..." "New York businessman calls his wife to say good night." "Then picks up some chippy." "Brings her back for sex." "Beyond that, nothing makes sense." "How's that?" "Security monitor records the victim entering with a woman at 1 0:1 3." "The same monitor records a male" "Ieavingjust after midnight." "Couldn't she have changed clothes?" "Thought ofthat." "Male is definitely a different person" "Short hair and at least 30 pounds heavier." "No record ofhis entry nor ofthe chippy leaving." "Scully:" "30 foors up, no other egress." "Did the medical examiner establish a cause ofdeath?" "Guy blew an artery." "Must have been some roll in the hay." "It's hard to imagine in this day and age someone having sex with a perfect stranger." "Signs ofrobbery?" "The male exited wearing the victim's suit, carrying a suitcase and the wallet's gone." "I don't even know whywe got this call." "Really." "Somebody at the Bureau put out a memo requesting any case involving this C.O.D." "I assumed it was a..." "Thanks for the call." "Five deaths, four in six weeks between here and Boston." "In each case, the victim dies in the throes ofpassion." "Two women and three men, including the last one." "All young, healthy adults." "All with symptoms ofmassive coronary arrest." "A new drug on the streets?" "The oldest drug-- not even illegal." "Each body showed huge amounts ofpheromones." "The chemicals animals secrete?" "You mean sexual attractants." "Radar love-- a hundred times stronger than found in nature." "Strong enough to produce anaphylactic shock or a coronary." "Soyou think somebody is synthesizing them?" "It's been done, but in nowhere near these concentrations and, Scully, you're going to love this." "The pheromones we're talking about?" "They contain human DNA." "Well, there's still a question as to whether humans can produce pheromones so how can that be?" "I don't know, but ifit's true this guy's a walking aphrodisiac." "He's the ultimate sex magnet." "He?" "Or she?" "You've got victims ofboth sexes." "Both a man and a woman on the hotel security monitor." "That is a puzzle." "So what's our profile ofthe killer?" "Indeterminate in height, weight, sex." "Unarmed, but extremely attractive." "It gets weirder." "There's been four deaths matching this M.O." "in the last six weeks." "In Boston, Hartford, Philadelphia and here in Washington." "The killer's moving south." "There was a death I made a note ofabout a year ago with the same symptoms." "A 32-year-old U.M.W. labor organizerwas found dead outside a town called Steveston in the woods of Massachusetts home to a sect ofreligious isolationists called the " Kindred."" "Right." "They live up there without electricity, phones any modern amenities-- Iike the Amish." "The Kindred are known for their handmade stoneware pottery." "They mine the clay." "What's so weird about that?" "The white clay in those hills is particular to that region." "It's also the same substance" "I scraped out ofthe scratches on the latest victim." "Wait." "Aren't these people famous for their abstinence and pure Christian ways?" "Yes, but it looks as ifone ofthem forgot to clean under his fingernails." "Hi." "This is Federal Agent Scully." "I'm Agent Mulder." "We're investigating a possible murder." "There aren't many killings around here." "What can you tell me about the Kindred?" "They keep pretty much to themselves, huh?" "Some folks say they're doing ceremonies-- voodoo or something." "I've got nothing against them myself." "They bring in the tourists." "They letyou take pictures?" "Those are from back in the '30s." "What about the missing ones?" "I'm having them reframed." "They're under the counter." "Can I look at them?" "Sure." "How would I get up to see them?" "Well, they don't like strangers up there much." "The road's in pretty rough shape." "Steveston." "That's them now." "They usually shop at the feed store." "Whoa, boy." "Excuse me." "Ladies." "I think I'm going to go inside." "You need anything from the feed store?" "Hi." "She must have problems on the asphalt." "Has she ever thrown a shoe?" "What's her name?" "Alice." "That's sweet." "Did you name her?" "We named her all together." "I'm not allowed to talk outside." "That's all right." "I'm Dana Scully." "I don't mean you any harm." "Scully, what areyou doing?" "I wasjust talking." "You all right?" "Yeah." "I think so." "You want to sit down?" "Interesting way oflife." "You get any sense about them?" "There's something up there, Mulder." "I've been saying that foryears." "Oh, for a four-wheel drive." "Looks like about a mile walk." "Afteryou." "Now... this... that's west." "What does the map say?" "That we should be there already." "(sighs)" "(stick breaking)" "Mulder, look." "Hmm?" "We're F.B.I. agents!" "Federal police." "I'm Agent Mulder." "This is Agent Scully." "We're investigating a murder." "I'm going to have to askyou to remain at a distance." "Please, sir." "Man #1 :" "Yourweapons are forbidden here." "We can outlastyou at this spot." "You're not leaving until your guns are handed to our council." "You will have them again as you leave." "We can't do that." "Woman:" "Please." "I'm SisterAbby." "This is Brother Oakley." "We are all saddened bywhat has happened in yourworld but it does not concern us." "Up here, no one kills another, ever." "Wejust want to have a few questions answered." "Yourweapons are unwelcome here, notyou." "Come and praywith us." "Be one ofus." "You'll see we harm no one." "Please relinquish yourweapons." "Please." "Now there is no reason to be afraid." "Come... sit." "Let us pray as one." "(man coughing)" "SisterAbby:" "We who are separate give thanks for our allotted time on this world." "We ask for strength that we may bring forth the bounty that God has provided." "Amen." "And we pray for the day ofthe coming the moment ofour release." "All:" "Amen." "Let us eat." "I was wondering ifwe might ask a few questions." "We're looking for someone who may have come from here." "We have pictures." "We don't allow pictures." "A crime has been committed." "We have questions we need answered ifyou'll forgive us." "What are these pictures?" "Hotel securityvideos ofa man and a woman who may have committed a murder." "Where was it committed?" "In a hotel in Washington, D.C." "Mulder:" "Ifyou look at the videotape maybeyou can identify the individual." "How much violence has this person caused in yourworld?" "Five murders so far." "And may kill again, which is whywe need your help." "Has anyone left recently?" "(hand slapping table)" "Yourworld does not interest us." "We have no need for yourviolence oryour questions." "I've said what is needed." "They have no right to be here at this time." "BrotherWilton, stand." "Before we can accept any man's person we must accept our own." "And I askwho can stand in your sight when onceyou are angry?" "I am ashamed to lift up my face and I shall not be ashamed in this evil time." "Make atonements for this wrath, BrotherWilton." "That's all right." "We didn't take any offense." "Anger, as violence, is not tolerated." "Our brother must be admonished." "(choking)" "He can't breathe." "He does not need your help." "He's choking to death!" "Remove BrotherAaron from the dining hall." "We did not inviteyou here to interfere." "We take care ofour own." "(rock music blaring)" "Would you like to dance?" "Not right now." "I'm really not interested, okay?" "just one dance." "Yeah." "One dance." "It's a mile toyour car." "Stay on the path." "Thanks foryour cooperation." "Mulder:" "The Addams family finds religion." "Scully:" "Take me back to the 20th century." "You believe all that back there, Scully?" "Believe all what?" "All that "we take care ofour own" business?" "They better, or that man at the dinner table is a dead man." "I think it was all an elaborate act." "What, the choking?" "No." "All this simple life crap." "These people know something." "You can see it in their eyes" "The way they look at one another." "Do they know who the murderer is?" "They didn't answer a single question and that outburst was right on cue." "Somehow we answered their questions." "Whyweren't there any children?" "I know." "That was odd." "You know what's really odd?" "You know those pictures we saw in Steveston today the ones from the '30s?" "I saw some ofthose same faces at dinner tonight." "They've probably been intermarrying foryears." "Maybe." "Maybe not everything is as black and white as it appears." "What areyou doing?" "I'm going to go back for a little look-see." "Mulder:" "Maybe theywent to the movies." "(distant chanting)" "You hear that?" "Uh-huh." "(horse whinnies)" "(horse whinnies)" "What doyou think?" "I think I want to see what's in that cellar." "Come with me." "I can giveyou information." "(chanting)" "I know who did it." "The murders?" "You've heard our prayers." "You've seen how we live our beliefs." "I wantyou to find this killer." "I wantyou to find him for me." "He was my best friend." "What's his name?" "Brother Martin." "I called him Marty." "Martywas different." "What doyou mean, different?" "How does he kill?" "We're not sure." "All ofthe victims died ofcardiac arrest." "He poisons them, doesn't he?" "Maybe." "How doyou know that?" "I need to showyou something." "Something about Marty." "We found them out on Route 44." "We were wandering." "Marty and I used to do that." "Explore the edges ofourworld." "Somebody must have left them for garbage." "They are garbage." "Why did you keep them?" "It was Martin who kept them." "Some ofwhat I saw in the magazines" "Some ofit was beautiful but most ofit I didn't like." "It was garish, but Martin..." "Marty he couldn't get enough." "He liked even the paper it was printed on." "Slick." "Martywas captured byyourworld." "He left us to become one ofyou." "(clattering)" "BrotherWilton." " The woman has returned." " Where is she?" "With Andrew in the main house." "The other one?" "He's missing." "Come." "You said Martywas different." "Yes." "How?" "How did he kill his victims?" "I could be banished." "Does it have something to do with the ceremony in the barn tonight?" "What areyou doing?" "(whispering:) Scully." "Marty is different." "We're all different." "Oh."

"Thanks." "Howyou feeling?" "Better." "A little embarrassed, actually." "Why?" "You don't remember any ofit." "It's like I don't remember..." "Why didn'tyou get out before he..?" "He told me he knew who the killerwas." "How did you know he wasn't the killer?" "I believed him." "So what did you see down in the cellar?" "just BrotherWhat's-his-name buried in some gopher hole in the wall." "Buried alive." "How doyou know he was alive?" "I was in there with him and his face was different." "Even his hairwas almost feminine." "Like he was going through some kind ofa transformation." "Changing sexes?" "That would explain the hotel securityvideo." "Soyou're saying these people..." "I know what I saw, Scully and I sawyou about to do the wild thing with some stranger." "Think he was trying to kill me?" "(sighing)" "Maybe it's the sex that kills." "Ifhe was trying to kill me, why did they let us go?" "I don't know." "(laughing)" "(knocking)" "All right, let's break it up." "(groaning)" "Out ofthe car." "Sorry, Officer." "You too." "You a pro?" "Pro?" "(groaning)" "What?" "(gasping)" "(gasping, coughing)" "On a scale ofone to ten, she was a... kind three." "But there was something about her." "Did she touch you or make any other physical contact?" "Her touch was... electric." "But after that I remember... onlyvaguely." "What doyou remember?" "Nothing, actually." "Try to remember, Michael." "The policeman at the scene supports whatyou said." "But maybe there was something unusual about this woman... something you wouldn't feel comfortable telling the police on the record." " This is offthe record?" " Absolutely." "What did you see, Michael?" "After she left the car... and she was fighting with the cop" "I saw her in her clothes and she looked like a... (nervous laugh)" "She looked like a man." "She was a man?" "The club scene used to be so simple." "It's offthe record." "Scout's honor." "Scully:" "We can't rule out that we're looking for a transvestite." "I think DonJuan there knows the difference between males and females." "I don't want us to ignore the obvious." "How else could a woman overpower a 200-pound cop?" "She was a he." "Woman:" "Agent Mulder." "Agent Scully." "The credit card stolen from the last victim in D.C." "wasjust used to order take-out in a hotel eight blocks away." "Marty (Woman):" "It was always forbidden." "But after the first time, I couldn't help myself." "Touching a human man or a woman... is as powerful for me as it was foryou." "This is Agent Scully requesting police backup and additional agents at 771 Catherine Street-- the Hotel Catherine." "Yourworld offers pleasures... pleasures we don't know because we're different." "Butyou know that now." "The others will punish me forwhat I've done." "They'll find me because the day is coming and theywon't leave without me." "ScullyWhispers:" "Mulder."
