"Oh!" "God!" "That was..." "That was incredible." "I mean it." "You don't believe me." "Can you hear me?" "Hey, I..." "I don't even know your 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 10:13." "The same monitor records a male leaving just after midnight." "Couldn't she have changed clothes?" "Thought of that." "Male is definitely a different person..." "Short hair and at least 30 pounds heavier." "No record of his entry nor of the chippy leaving." "Scully:" "30 floors up, no other egress." "Did the medical examiner establish a cause of death?" "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 of robbery?" "The male exited wearing the victim's suit, carrying a suitcase and the wallet's gone." "I don't even know why we 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 of passion." "Two women and three men, including the last one." "All young, healthy adults." "All with symptoms of massive coronary arrest." "A new drug on the streets?" "The oldest drug..." "not even illegal." "Each body showed huge amounts of pheromones." "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." "So you 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 if it's true this guy's a walking aphrodisiac." "He's the ultimate sex magnet." "He?" "Or she?" "You've got victims of both sexes." "Both a man and a woman on the hotel security monitor." "That is a puzzle." "So what's our profile of the 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 of about a year ago with the same symptoms." "A 32-year-old U.M.W. Labor organizer was found dead outside a town called Steveston in the woods of Massachusetts home to a sect of religious isolationists called the Kindred." "Right." "They live up there without electricity, phones any modern amenities..." "like 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 of the scratches on the latest victim." "Wait." "Aren't these people famous for their abstinence and pure Christian ways?" "Yes, but it looks as if one of them 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 let you 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 are you doing?" "I was just talking." "You all right?" "Yeah." "I think so." "You want to sit down?" "Interesting way of life." "You get any sense about them?" "There's something up there, Mulder." "I've been saying that for years." "Oh, for a four-wheel drive." "Looks like about a mile walk." "After you." "Now... this... that's west." "What does the map say?" "That we should be there already." "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 ask you to remain at a distance." "Please, sir." "Man #1:" "Your weapons are forbidden here." "We can outlast you 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 Sister Abby." "This is Brother Oakley." "We are all saddened by what has happened in your world but it does not concern us." "Up here, no one kills another, ever." "We just want to have a few questions answered." "Your weapons are unwelcome here, not you." "Come and pray with us." "Be one of us." "You'll see we harm no one." "Please relinquish your weapons." "Please." "Now there is no reason to be afraid." "Come... sit." "Let us pray as one." "Sister Abby:" "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 of the coming the moment of our release." "All:" "Amen." "Let us eat." "I was wondering if we 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 if you'll forgive us." "What are these pictures?" "Hotel security videos of a man and a woman who may have committed a murder." "Where was it committed?" "In a hotel in Washington, D.C." "Mulder:" "If you look at the videotape maybe you can identify the individual." "How much violence has this person caused in your world?" "Five murders so far." "And may kill again, which is why we need your help." "Has anyone left recently?" "Your world does not interest us." "We have no need for your violence or your questions." "I've said what is needed." "They have no right to be here at this time." "Brother Wilton, stand." "Before we can accept any man's person we must accept our own." "And I ask who can stand in your sight when once you 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, Brother Wilton." "That's all right." "We didn't take any offense." "Anger, as violence, is not tolerated." "Our brother must be admonished." "He can't breathe." "He does not need your help." "He's choking to death!" "Remove Brother Aaron from the dining hall." "We did not invite you here to interfere." "We take care of our own." "Would you like to dance?" "Not right now." "I'm really not interested, okay?" "Just one dance." "Yeah." "One dance." "It's a mile to your car." "Stay on the path." "Thanks for your 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 of our 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." "Why weren'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 of those same faces at dinner tonight." "They've probably been intermarrying for years." "Maybe." "Maybe not everything is as black and white as it appears." "What are you doing?" "I'm going to go back for a little look-see." "Mulder:" "Maybe they went to the movies." "You hear that?" "Uh-huh." "What do you think?" "I think I want to see what's in that cellar." "Come with me." "I can give you information." "I know who did it." "The murders?" "You've heard our prayers." "You've seen how we live our beliefs." "I want you to find this killer." "I want you to find him for me." "He was my best friend." "What's his name?" "Brother Martin." "I called him Marty." "Marty was different." "What do you mean, different?" "How does he kill?" "We're not sure." "All of the victims died of cardiac arrest." "He poisons them, doesn't he?" "Maybe." "How do you know that?" "I need to show you something." "Something about Marty." "We found them out on Route 44." "We were wandering." "Marty and I used to do that." "Explore the edges of our world." "Somebody must have left them for garbage." "They are garbage." "Why did you keep them?" "It was Martin who kept them." "Some of what I saw in the magazines..." "Some of it was beautiful but most of it 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." "Marty was captured by your world." "He left us to become one of you." "Brother Wilton." " The woman has returned." " Where is she?" "With Andrew in the main house." "The other one?" "He's missing." "Come." "You said Marty was 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 are you doing?" "Scully." "Marty is different." "We're all different." "Oh." "No." "No." "Scully?" "Get off of her!" "I asked you not to interfere." "What were you doing back there?" "I don't know." " You don't know?" "!" " No." "Are you all right?" "I wasn't ignoring you." "No." "Of course I saw you." "I just..." "I didn't recognize you." "That's all." "Excuse me." "I'm having a conversation." "Sorry." "No." "Uh-huh." "Thanks." "How you feeling?" "Better." "A little embarrassed, actually." "Why?" "You don't remember any of it." "It's like I don't remember..." "Why didn't you get out before he...?" "He told me he knew who the killer was." "How did you know he wasn't the killer?" "I believed him." "So what did you see down in the cellar?" "Just Brother What's-his-name buried in some gopher hole in the wall." "Buried alive." "How do you know he was alive?" "I was in there with him and his face was different." "Even his hair was almost feminine." "Like he was going through some kind of a transformation." "Changing sexes?" "That would explain the hotel security video." "So you're saying these people..." "I know what I saw, Scully and I saw you about to do the wild thing with some stranger." "Think he was trying to kill me?" "Maybe it's the sex that kills." "If he was trying to kill me, why did they let us go?" "I don't know." "All right, let's break it up." "Out of the car." "Sorry, Officer." "You too." "You a pro?" "Pro?" "What?" "On a scale of one 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... only vaguely." "What do you remember?" "Nothing, actually." "Try to remember, Michael." "The policeman at the scene supports what you said." "But maybe there was something unusual about this woman... something you wouldn't feel comfortable telling the police on the record." " This is off the 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..." "She looked like a man." "She was a man?" "The club scene used to be so simple." "It's off the record." "Scout's honor." "Scully:" "We can't rule out that we're looking for a transvestite." "I think Don Juan 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." "Was just used to order take-out in a hotel eight blocks away." "Marty 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 for you." "This is Agent Scully requesting police backup and additional agents at 771 Catherine Street..." "the Hotel Catherine." "Your world offers pleasures... pleasures we don't know because we're different." "But you know that now." "The others will punish me for what I've done." "They'll find me because the day is coming and they won't leave without me." "Scully Whispers:" "Mulder." "Delivery." "F.B. I!" "F.B. I!" "Clear!" "Stay down!" "Dead body!" "Scully?" "Scully:" "I'm okay." "Scully, down the stairs." "Federal agent!" "I'm armed!" "Back away!" "Step away!" "Step away." "Please... don't hurt him." "No." "Step away." "I'm armed." "Mulder:" "Scully!" "The surrounding ten blocks have been secured for the past hour." "We set up roadblocks on all the routes out to Steveston." "No reports of them." "There's no way they could have gotten through." "What if they did get through?" "There's only one place they'd hide." "They're gone." "We found something in the hay field." "Scully:" "I don't understand." "How can they just disappear?" "They have no means of transportation." "No earthly means of transportation." "I made this."
