I was full of rage. 178 00:18:23,202 --> 00:18:26,296 I have a copy of the note that you wrote. 179 00:18:28,874 --> 00:18:31,934 Do you mind if I show it to you? 180 00:18:32,044 --> 00:18:36,105 Now, there's a phrase, down here at the bottom. 181 00:18:36,215 --> 00:18:39,150 "No one shoots at Santa Claus." 182 00:18:39,885 --> 00:18:43,286 Can you explain what that means to me? 183 00:18:43,389 --> 00:18:48,986 It means that, when someone promises you something, a gift, like Santa Claus, 184 00:18:50,062 --> 00:18:53,554 that no one would do anything for fear of not getting the gift. 185 00:18:56,902 --> 00:19:00,804 A little girl disappeared from her bed three days ago. 186 00:19:00,906 --> 00:19:04,307 This is the note that was left at that scene. 187 00:19:05,411 --> 00:19:08,972 Can you take a look at that and tell me what it says at the bottom? 188 00:19:12,818 --> 00:19:15,412 The same thing. 189 00:19:15,488 --> 00:19:17,979 Neither note makes a specific demand. 190 00:19:18,090 --> 00:19:21,753 In both cases there is no evidence of foul play or a break-in. 191 00:19:21,861 --> 00:19:24,421 As in your son's case, there's no body to be found. 192 00:19:24,530 --> 00:19:29,832 - I told them where the body was. - Yes, you did. But it wasn't where you said. 193 00:19:29,935 --> 00:19:31,334 - I can't explain it. - You can. 194 00:19:31,437 --> 00:19:33,871 I can't! 195 00:19:35,608 --> 00:19:39,544 You can't explain it because you didn't do anything. 196 00:19:43,883 --> 00:19:47,444 You didn't kill your son and you didn't bury him. 197 00:19:47,553 --> 00:19:51,614 You're not guilty of anything other than a lie. Just like these people. 198 00:19:51,691 --> 00:19:55,183 The only reason you changed your story was to get outta here, 199 00:19:55,294 --> 00:19:59,196 because you knew the parole board might buy the story of a psychotic break, 200 00:19:59,298 --> 00:20:01,960 but they would never let a woman out of jail 201 00:20:02,034 --> 00:20:05,367 who claimed her son just disappeared out of thin air. 202 00:20:05,471 --> 00:20:10,636 Now, these people... they need someone to tell them it's OK. 203 00:20:10,743 --> 00:20:14,372 Someone to corroborate their story. 204 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:18,246 - I'm not that person. - They need your help. 205 00:20:33,165 --> 00:20:35,895 That was utterly irresponsible, Mulder. 206 00:20:36,001 --> 00:20:38,902 It was out of line and without any basis in reality. 207 00:20:39,004 --> 00:20:42,405 - Do you think that woman killed her son? - She was convicted. 208 00:20:42,508 --> 00:20:47,172 So how do you explain those two notes could contain the same obscure phrase? 209 00:20:47,279 --> 00:20:52,012 I can't explain it. But you're doing what I said: you're personalizing this case. 210 00:20:52,118 --> 00:20:54,916 No. I'm gonna solve this case. I am gonna solve it. 211 00:20:55,020 --> 00:20:57,614 - How? - I'm gonna find those kids. 212 00:20:59,759 --> 00:21:02,353 What if they're dead, Mulder? 213 00:21:03,596 --> 00:21:07,191 Don't go looking for something you don't wanna find. 214 00:21:29,989 --> 00:21:33,447 Guard?

I'm sure you're busy. 220 00:21:51,343 --> 00:21:56,804 There are so many emotions in me, I wouldn't know where to start. 221 00:21:58,818 --> 00:22:03,755 So much that I've left unsaid, for reasons I hope one day you'll understand. 222 00:22:13,666 --> 00:22:17,830 This is highly unusual. I wanna know what you're doing here. 223 00:22:17,937 --> 00:22:21,100 There's something I want your clients to see. 224 00:22:24,276 --> 00:22:27,507 - I wanna know what it is first. - About shootin' Santa Claus. 225 00:22:27,613 --> 00:22:31,105 You're gonna wanna see it, too. 226 00:22:31,183 --> 00:22:33,174 I believe you share a secret. 227 00:22:36,188 --> 00:22:41,854 I'm, um...
