(gothic music on stereo)

- (turns stereo down)
- Hello?

Hello?!

Hey! I'm sittin' here, dude!

(man) Sorry, we’re closed.

Uh-uh. l was here before
you turned off the light.

Grandfather clause, man.

- I need a super patty double with cheese.
- The light was a mistake. We're closed.

- Sony.
- The light was on!

How bad do you want this job,
cos I'll call the head office right now?

Super patty, double, with cheese.
Supersize fries, supersize Diet Sprite.

(honking)

Drive through, please.

What the hell is this?

Customer service, man.
Stop spankin' and get my food!

(slurping and chomping)

Hey, in there.

- Guy?
- (grunting)

(heavier grunting)

(crunch, screaming)

You are your own man,
and you control everything you do.

- Hey, yo, Derwood.
- Hey, Rob.

- Hey, Mr Rice.
- How's it goin', Rob?

- Have a good one, Lucy.
- You too, Rob.

(police siren)

Welcome to Lucky Boy.
May I take your order?

- We'll have it our way.
- FBI. Special Agents Scully and Mulder.

- We'd like a word with your manager, please.
- That's me. How can I help you?

Sir, would you do us a favour
and gather your employees?

- What's going on?
- We're investigating a murder.

A car was found ten miles from here.
A body was found in the trunk of that car.

- What does that have to do with us?
- This was also found in the car.

It's a badge that's only given
to employees, is that correct?

"Free fer Fridays". It's our promotion where
you buy one super patty and get one free.

But look, there's four Lucky Boys in
Costa Mesa alone and 30 in Orange County.

- 32.
- Long day, so let's make this quick.

- Does everybody have their button?
- We only wear them on Fridays.

Free fer Fridays.

Yeah, but does everybody have their button?

Hey, uh, you, back there.
What's your name?

- Derwood Spinks.
- Do you have your button, Derwood?

No. I must have left it at home on account of
we're supposed to only wear 'em on Fridays.

I sure as hell didn't leave it on no dead guy.

I don't believe that we said
the victim was male.

We're gonna ask everybody to step outside
while we take a quick look around.

Who was the victim?

His name was Donald Edward Pankow.

- Does that ring a bell?
- No.

I'll get some cigarettes.

I'd better call the corporate headquarters.
Find out what they want us to do.

(Mulder) Hey, Scully, check it out.

You know how they say you never wanna see
the kitchen of your favourite restaurants?

Somehow I don't think Lucky Boy
would make that list.

My point being that this is
a hell of a lot cleaner than all the others.

- Don't you think?
- I guess.

So what are you saying? This place
has been scrubbed to cover up evidence?

Maybe. Maybe I'm thinking
this was the crime scene.

(Scully) So Mr Pankow had his brain neatly
removed from his skull here in this kitchen?

- Had to happen somewhere.
- But next to the shake machine, Mulder?

I think we should check out lockers,

not entertain the idea that
ad hoc surgery was performed here.

I wouldn't exactly call it surgery.

What if this man's brain was eaten?
It's not sociologically unheard of.

There are tribes in New Guinea
that consider brains a delicacy.

- Yeah, but, Mulder, we're in Orange County.
- Yeah, what's your point?

It's just that nothing suggests a fetishistic
killing. The brain wasn't removed intact.

What if his brain was eaten out of his skull?

Through a small opening that looks like
it was cut with a hole saw?

(Mulder) Maybe it was cut.
Maybe it was punched.

What look like tool marks to you
look to me more organic.

Like it was made by a tongue or a proboscis.

The proboscis of what?

I don't know.

Oh! Hello. Look at this.

Does that look like blood to you?

Yes, looks like it.

What is that? Next to it. Is that, uh...?

Oh, my God. Is that...
is that brain matter? There?

No, I'd say that's ground beef.

- Ground beef?
- Yeah.

(knocking)

Rob Roberts? It's Agent Mulder.

- Hello again. Sorry to bother you at home.
- No, no bother.

- Yeah, can I come in?
- Yeah... sure, sure.

- What, uh, what can I do for you?
- Live here alone?

- Yeah, it's just me.
- Mom or girlfriend?

- What?
- Come on, man, who cleans up after you?

Neither. It's... just me. I live here alone.

Bravo. They say single guys
are just bears who own furniture.

But... I mean, my place?

But here, you can smell the Pine-Sol.

Thanks. Can I... can I get you anything?

Yeah, a cheeseburger
and a large order of fries.

It's a bad joke. I'm sorry.
Um, Mr Rice, your manager,

he told me that you stayed late on Friday.

- Is that right?
- Yeah, sure, Friday.

The freezer had died on us. I stayed after
to throw out the meat that was goin' bad.

Yeah, did you volunteer to close?

- Yeah.
- Yeah, OK. You volunteered.

Volunteered.

Um...

The 35 pounds of ground chuck
that Mr Rice told you to throw away,

- what did you do with that?
- I threw it out.

- Where?
- In the dumpster behind the restaurant.

Hm. That's weird.

That's what I figured you did,
so I checked and it was empty.

It's weird. It only gets
cleaned out on Thursday,

and you'd have thrown away the meat on
Friday, so you'd expect the meat to be there.

I don't see how that's relevant
to this murder case anyway.

Let me see if there's anything else
I wanted to ask you.

Blood.

You're... you're bleeding.

I bit my lip.

I think thatjust about wraps it up for me here.

Hey, I hope you catch the guy, huh?

Yeah. No, I already got
a pretty good idea who it is.

Thanks.

What do you want?

- Nothing.
- So take a hike.

- (phone rings)
- (answerphone beeps)

(woman) Uh, hi.
This is a message for Rob Roberts.

My name is Dr Mindy Reinhart, and
I'm a licensed mental-health counsellor

with the Lucky Boy corporation 's
employee assistance programme.

I'm talking to all of the employees about the
recent unpleasantness that occurred there.

Rob, I'd love for you to come down to
my office at 1 1 am tomorrow morning.

As it is a requirement
of your employer’s insurance provider,

this meeting is mandatory.

I'm in the Irvine Medical Park. Suite 308.

Have a good evening.

(stomach rumbles)

Self-discipline. That's the name of this game.

That's the one thing that separates us
from the animals, provided you have it.

But where do you get it? You can’t go down
to the local store and buy self-discipline.

You can’t order it over the Internet,
so where does it come from?

I used to weigh 356 pounds.

(whistles) Do you believe that?

Well, it's true.
I lived to eat, ladies and gentlemen.

My entire life revolved around eating,
because I was always hungry.

My appetite was controlling me.

Four-star restaurants, Denny's... it didn’t stop.

It didn’t stop until I took charge of my own life,
until I put on the brakes and I said “Whoa!”

"Ricardo, you are your own man
and you control everything that you do."

(applause on TV)

(footsteps)

Oh, brother. What?

(squelch)

Derwood, how did you get in here?

Just a little skill I picked up in Chino.

I did a nickel for attempted murder.

You didn't know I was an ex-con?

Yeah, nobody at work did.

Not until this FBl murder investigation
whipped everybody up into a froth.

Derwood, what can I do for you?

You know I got fired last night?

Stupid little pissantjob, where they make you
wear a paper hat - and they fired me.

Plus, as far as that
red-headed FBl agent's concerned,

I'm the prime suspect in this murder.

But that's no skin off my nose,
seeing as you did it.

Diet pills.

Yours, right?

I found 'em when I opened up
on Saturday morning.

I didn't give 'em back because
I figured "Hey, free speed", right?

But then there's
this whole flap about a murder.

And I noticed this.

That ain't ketchup, man.

What... what do you want, Derwood?

I don't know. What have you got?

TV, VCR. Ah, it's all crappy, off-brand stuff,

but, yeah, I'll take that, and
whatever money you got in the bank.

And you get this.

And I keep my mouth shut and just maybe

you can blow town before the long arm of the
law reaches out and grabs you by the gonads.

(knocking)

Maybe not.

Cup 'em.

Hi, uh, Rob, I hate to bother you, but,

last night, there was a man in a parked car
for hours. Did you happen to see him?

A maroon car. He was clean-cut,
so I didn't call the police,

but he was still there when I went to bed.

Gee, Sylvia, I don't know what to tell you.

He's gone now, butjust keep
your eyes out in case he comes back.

- You got it.
- Thanks.

So I'll call you tonight, let you know
where to drop off my new VCR.

Oh, and don't try skipping town.

You won't get too far.

Hey, just the man I wanted to see.

- How are you this morning, Rob?
- Fine.

Glad I caught you.
Oh, I was just driving to your apartment

and I saw Derwood Spinks
not a block from here.

- He wasn't comin' from your place, was he?
- No, no. I haven't seen him.

Good. l'd stay away from him. He's
our prime suspect in the Pankow murder.

- You think he did it?
- Me? No.

No, no. I should say that's the opinion
of the Costa Mesa police, and my partner.

- So, he's not your guy?
- No.

No, I think we're lookin' for somebody who
has a compulsion to kill. Can't help himself.

Oh, quick question.
The meat that you threw in the dumpster...

- What about it?
- The dumpster had a padlock?

- Yeah.
- Who would have the key?

We do, and the trucking company does.

Hey, wait. What's your point?

I'm just tyin' up some loose ends.

(Dr Reinhart) Good. You got my message.
I appreciate your coming.

This will be really informal. Here you go.

I wanna run through some things with you.

We don't stand on ceremony,
so if there is anything you wanna talk about,

just go ahead and blurt it out, OK?

- It hasn't been a run-of-the-mill week so far.
- No.

The police have been
at the restaurant, the FBI...

I'm sure this has been
a very stressful time for you.

Pretty much.

So we wanna keep on top of any problems
that these stresses might cause for you.

So let's run through
some standard questions together.

Rob, have you been troubled
recently by insomnia?

- Bad dreams or nightmares?
- (stomach rumbles)

Have you felt emotionally numb?

Do you ever see things
that aren't there or hear voices?

(stomach churning drowns out dialogue)

- Tell me, Rob. Do you feel...?
- This... this murder.

- This murder that happened...
- Yes?

What kind of a monster
would do something like that?

I don't believe in monsters.

But I do believe in people.

And sometimes they do terrible things
out of weakness, or sickness, or fear.

But I do truly believe that deep down inside,
even the worst of us wants to be good.

Rob, is there anything that's troubling you
that you'd like to talk about?

(phone)

I'm sorry. I thought I'd put that on voice mail.

Mindy Reinhart.

Yes, Agent Mulder, what can I do for you?

No, I'm afraid I can't do that.

I'm sorry, but it would violate
patient confidentiality.

- l, uh...
- Excuse me, Agent.

- Rob?
- Yeah? I have to go to work now.

Would you please call me later
so that we could finish our talk?

You shouldn't be here, Derwood.
We'd have mailed your last cheque.

Just give me my money, Rice.

How you doin', killer? You better
have some money for me too, huh?

There. Now please leave.

With pleasure, pal.

Oh, I oughta just make happy hour.

Aw, since this is farewell,

when nobody was looking,
I used to dip my boys in the coleslaw.

Bon appétit.

(engine)

lf somebody's still in here,
you're in a world of hurt.

(Rob disturbs something)

Rob?

You lookin' for these?

Deal's off, buddy.

You know that guy you iced, Pankow?

ljust heard he didn't have a brain in his head.

You're one sick little freak, man.

You got a lotta problems.

If I were the FBI, I'd want you real bad.

Public enemy number one, and all that.

Lots of reward money.

So I'm gonna turn you in myself.

Lucky boy.

(knocking)

- Rob.
- Hi.

- You said we should finish talking.
- Come in.

- I think I need help.
- Tell me why you think that.

l have compulsions to eat. I... I get hungry.

And I try to put it off for as long as I can,

but then, finally, ljust... lget so hungry
that I can't help myself, and...

You binge, then purge?

You eat too much and then
cause yourself to vomit?

No. ljust eat.

But this makes you feel bad.

I guess it makes me feel
like I'm not a good person.

There are many different
kinds of eating disorders.

People from every walk of life
suffer from them.

But if there's one thing that they
all have in common, it's low self-esteem.

And it's a shame, because low self-esteem
can be like a fun-house mirror.

It reflects back a warped
and ugly image of ourselves.

What do you think Cindy Crawford
would look like in a fun-house mirror?

Weird? Ugly.

And how would the most
handsome man in the world look?

How would Peter Jennings look
in a fun-house mirror?

- Ugly.
- And how do you look in this mirror?

Do you think that looks like
a bad person, an unworthy person?

I'll tell you what I see.
I see a nice smile.

| see soulful brown eyes. I see good.

Now, Rob, lwant you to keep looking into
this mirror until you see the same things I do.

There's a meeting I'd like you to attend.
It's every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

You can talk to me any time,
but these people are the best.

They can really help you.

- l have to go.
- You always hurry away.

I appreciate it. And I want you to understand
that I really am trying to do right.

(stomach rumbles)

Hey, Rob, you didn't tell me
you had a friend in the FBI.

He's upstairs. I told him all about
that strange man in the maroon car.

And he said he'd look into it.

Afternoon, Rob.

Sir, may we speak with you?

- Derwood Spinks has disappeared.
- His car has gone along with his belongings.

My partner saw Spinks
in your neighbourhood yesterday morning.

At that time, you told Agent Mulder that
you hadn't seen Mr Spinks. Is that correct?

I don't even know him that well.

If he was going to leave town,
he wouldn't tell me about it.

Who said he left town?

I don't know.

- Isn't that what you think happened?
- No, no.

Personally, I think he's dead.
I can't speak for my partner.

But I think that whatever it was that killed
Donald Pankow also got to Derwood Spinks.

What do you mean, whatever "it" was?

I'll let you in on a little secret. We've been
able to keep it pretty quiet up until now,

but Donald Pankow's brain
was missing from his skull.

My partner found something
previously undetected.

It was the tip of what can
only be described as a tiny shark's tooth

embedded deep in the bone.

I think we're looking for a genetic freak.

A carnivorous predator as yet unidentified.
A monster, if you will.

- There's no such thing.
- Don't you believe it. This thing qualifies.

It has a biological imperative to eat. I think
it ate that ground chuck you threw away.

Yeah? Why?

Because it can't kill with impunity,
and it knows it.

It knows that the more it feeds on humans,
the closer it gets to getting caught.

But the hunger is always there.

And it satisfies it any way it can.

I'm sorry, but this is like good cop...

insane cop.

Why are you telling me all of this?

I think you know why.

Thank you, Mr Roberts. We'll contact you
if we have any further questions.

Watch out for that monster.

Devil's food, with the white, sugar frosting.
It is like "Deliver me from evil."

Come on in. Come on.

So I baked three dozen of these
for my daughter's school fundraiser.

And at three in the morning, the night before,
there they are, all three dozen of them,

- lined up and calling to me.
- (stomach rumbles)

- Is this your first time at a meeting?
- Yeah.

(applause)

Does anybody else
have anything they wanna share?

Do you feel up to introducing yourself?
Everybody's really nice.

Don't be scared. It helped me.

Uh, hi. My name is Robert Roberts.

- People call me Rob.
- (all) Hi, Rob.

l have an eating disorder. I'm definitely
a meat-eater, not a vegetarian.

I've always had these cravings. My whole life.

And just... just recently, the last month or so,

they've just become too powerful to resist.

- Tell us about it.
- I guess it's the taste I respond to the most.

Salty and juicy.

Kind of buttery.

The texture of it, inside of your mouth.

You know, your teeth just
sink into it like this juicy cloud.

And it tastes so good.
You don't even wanna swallow it.

You just wanna work it
around your taste buds

until your eyes roll
right back into your head.

Do you remember when I first came here?

Anyway, it's a real problem.

Wait, your ex-husband did what?

He said I was too fat to ride in his sports car -
that I'd just mess up the springs.

So, I sat on the hood and I bounced.

And I didn't stop until the police showed up.

They sided with me.

Hey, thank you, Sylvia.

Good night, Rob.

Good night, Sylvia.

(stomach rumbles)

(Sylvia) I'll be right there.

(screams)

(man) What the hell is goin' on?

Oh, my God! Call the police!

(woman) Everything OK?

Mr Derwood Spinks, alive and well?

I'm confused, Rob.
Was he helping you redecorate?

- I lied to you before.
- About what?

Derwood was coming from my place
the morning you saw him.

He said if I spoke to you, he'd kill me.

What didn't he want you to tell us?

Last Friday night, he hung out
while I was cleaning out the freezer.

He told me to go home.
Said he'd finish up.

I... I didn't know why the hell he was being
so nice to me, but when I got home,

I realised I had the key to the dumpster.

And when I drove back,

- I saw him cleaning up all this blood.
- You must have been very scared.

lwas, but, you know, I should have
told the truth from the start.

Do you recognise this guy?

- No.
- He's a private eye.

Sylvia Jassie's ex-husband
hired him to spy on her.

But now this Steve Kiziak has gone missing.

He was last seen
parked outside your apartment.

- You didn't notice him?
- No, I didn't notice anything.

- Maybe we should check with Sylvia again.
- I don't... I don't think she's home.

Ah, well, we'll track her down.

Don't worry, Rob. It won't be long now.

Oh, my God.

Rob? What happened?

It's a long story.

What do you want?

I was in the neighbourhood,
and I thought I'd say hi.

Hi.

Rob, are you all right?

Did you do this?

No. Derwood Spinks did this.

You know, he's the one who...

Like I said, it's a long story.

- Where are you going?
- To a friend's house.

I have to leave, actually, as in, now.

- Are you sure you're all right?
- Yes, absolutely. I'm fine, you know.

It's just that I sensed that there were things
that you wanted to talk about, but couldn't.

That was yesterday.

- Well, can we talk about them now?
- Look, let me stop you right there, OK?

You don't have to worry about me any more.

As of 10.38am I am no longer employed
by the Lucky Boy corporation.

- I quit.
- Rob, I'm here as a friend.

Well, then, consider me cured.

- I had a breakthrough last night.
- Did you attend the OA meeting?

- Yeah.
- How did it go?

It was a complete and utter waste of my time.

- I'm sorry you felt that way.
- So they're a bunch of fat people. So what?

Maybe they've got what you would call
a biological imperative to eat too much.

Did you ever think of that? Did you?

You know, maybe I've got
a biological imperative too.

So why is that such a bad thing?
Like the world's gonna end?

That is biology.

You can't fight biology. You can't.

- Sounds like you're tired of feeling guilty.
- Bingo.

I am sick and tired of pretending
that I'm something that I'm not.

You killed that man, didn't you?

What did you just say?

That's why you feel so guilty, isn't it?

Can you tell me why you did it?

Who have you been talking to?

No one. I realised it after our last session.

- You spoke to the FBI, didn't you?
- I haven't spoken to anyone.

And I won't without your permission,
but I am here to ask you to turn yourself in.

- (police siren)
- I want you to get the help that you need.

You don't know what the hell
you're talking about.

- Yes, Ido, Rob.
- No, you don't!

You said you don't believe in monsters.

Right?

How about now?

How about...

now?

Do you believe in monsters?

You poor man.

What you must go through.

(door is kicked down)

- Oh, my God.
- Step away, Rob.

- Step away.
- Dr Reinhart, step away from him.

Rob, we tracked Sylvia down
on the way to the landfill.

You just can't stop yourself, can you?

Get on the floor. Rob, get on the floor.

Rob.

Be that good person I know you mean to be.

VVhy?

I can't be something I'm not.
