Marie!

No! Please!

(gasping sobs)

Oh, God!

(Scully) Mulder was dying. It's all right here.
For a year he was going to doctors.

There's a clear record of his decline.

(Doggett) How well did you really know him?
How far would Mulder go?

- How far would he go for what?
- The truth. His truth.

Whatever you and I may differ on...
I'll find him, Agent Scully.

You must be Special Agent Doggett.
I'm Sheriff Frey. Just call me Kurt.

I appreciate the help, Kurt.

Shame to have you drive up here
on a Saturday. You're wasting your time.

Not if you confirm what you told me before.

Yes, sir. Agent Mulder was here, all right.

Lastspnng.

You said on the phone he was investigating
a missing woman, Marie Hangemuhl.

She wasn't exactly missing.
He wasn't exactly investigating, either.

I'm not following you.

It was a false report.
Marie never even left the house.

Agent Mulder only found out about it cos
Marie's sister got all excited about nothing.

There.

See for yourself.

I've got hot coffee and Danish,
if you're interested.

No, thanks.

If you don't mind me asking,
Agent Doggett, what's your interest?

l was surprised that one FBI agent
gave this case a thought.

It's not so much the case as it is the agent.
Agent Mulder disappeared last May.

Sorry to hear that.
I don't see what that has to do with us.

Did Mulder have a personal connection here
that might not be in your report?

No. He'd never been to Squamash before,
far as I know.

Cellphone records show that Mulder came
back here the week before he disappeared.

What for?

That's what I wanna know.
It's myjob to find him.

(knocking on door)

- Kurt.
- Paul.

This is Agent Doggett from the FBI. He'd
like to ask you and Marie some questions.

Marie, can you come out here a minute?

This is an FBI agent. He wants to ask us
a few questions. What's this all about?

A colleague of mine, Fox Mulder,
questioned you last spring.

Come on, Kurt, this again?

This was a personal matter that's
been blown way out of proportion.

He's not investigating you, Paul.
He's investigating Agent Mulder.

If you could tell me what you
and Agent Mulder talked about.

You told your sister you were gonna
disappear, Mrs Hangemuhl. Tonight.

I told you. We had a fight.
She was gonna leave, not disappear.

I'm talking to your wife.

Mrs Hangemuhl.

It's what he said.

My sister lives out of state.

I was gonna go...

I didn't want her to worry.

You told your sister a story -
a story you were afraid of?

This is crazy. There is no crime here!

I don't think you were going anywhere. I think
someone or something was coming here.

And I think maybe it still is.

We had a fight. We patched things up,
and that was the end of it.

The sheriff's report says that Agent Mulder
spoke to you on Saturday, May 6.

Yeah, I guess so.

Did you see Agent Mulder again that night?

No. He never came back.

According to his cellphone records, he did.
To this area, anyway.

What's that there?
Is that a dialysis machine?

My wife suffers from end-stage renal failure.
She's a very sick woman.

Anything else?

One thing: this someone or something
Agent Mulder said might be coming?

Ijust told my sister I was afraid of the stories.
That's all. I didn't mean...

Let me ask you something, Agent Doggett.
Was this Mulder guy sick?

Sick in the head, I mean?
Is that why you're checkin' into this?

What stories, Mr Hangemuhl?

An Indian folk legend about a creature
who lives out in the woods.

I've heard these stories since I was a kid.

Your colleague twisted it into
a theory that she would disappear,

cos this creature was comin' to eat her.

- Eat her?
- Alive.

Like I said, Agent Doggett,
I hate to waste your Saturday.

The Hangemuhls own a gun, Kurt?

No, I don't think so. Why?

I saw three holes plastered over
in their living room wall.

- Gunshots?
- Possibly.

You wanna go back and ask 'em?

No.

Kurt. They told me you were out here.

I just can't believe it. Is it true?

That's what I'm here to find out.

(door opens)

Were you aware Mulder carried
a second weapon, a Walther PPK?

- Yeah, in an ankle holster.
- I found it hidden under his sink.

- The clip was three rounds shy.
- What's this about?

Three shots were fired in a house
where Mulder investigated a case last May.

He never filed a report on the case or the
discharge of his weapon. Do you know why?

If Mulder did these things,
he would've reported them.

Mulder submitted case reports all right.

They indicate he was in Washington when his
phone records prove he was in Pennsylvania.

Are you calling Mulder a liar?

This is the muzzle of Mulder's pistol.
You see that there?

Blowback.

Macrospatter of dried blood
in a semicircular pattern.

Which indicates Mulder fired close-range
at something or someone.

I've heard enough.

- Where you goin'?
- It's where you're going.

You're building a case that
Mulder killed a man and disappeared?

That's not what happened.
He was abducted. I saw it!

Mulder signed falsified case reports.

Come on, John, this isn't about Mulder.
It's about you, your career.

Give the FBI a narrative
for Mulder's disappearance,

you're off the X-Files and on
the fast track to directorship.

- I'm just trying to find the truth.
- Then ask Agent Scully!

- I can't do that.
- Why not?

Because she...

She signed those case reports too.

You take that story to OPR,

the accusation alone
could cost Scully herjob.

I'm not takin' it to OPR.
I'm takin' it to you.

(dogs barking)

We're giving you two minutes to bring it
outside. Then we're coming in to get it.

- Where is it?
- It's dead.

You know that. Dead and buried.

It's here. We've come for it.

You lied to us!

(rustling)

(cries out)

(pained grunting)

(Marie) Please, don't! Don't do this!

Don't do this to him!

Sheriff Frey?

Back again?

This is Assistant Director Skinner. We drove
up when we couldn't reach you on the phone.

Yeah, sorry about that.
I went hunting and turned off my radio.

- So, you find something?
- You might say that.

You filed this death certificate
at the county seat.

We're hoping you might be able
to tell us something about it.

Yeah. Yeah, last spring.
An unidentified transient.

Local woman found the body in the woods.

- You had no suspects? No motive?
- No. Why?

You get a lot of shootings?
That why you didn't mention this one?

What are you insinuating?

The body was found dumped outside
this woman's cabin on Sunday, May 7 -

the morning after Mulder
saw the Hangemuhls.

OK, so I didn't make the connection.
So what?

Three rounds were missing
from Mulder's weapon.

So Mulder came back to town to kill this man,
and now the Hangemuhls are lying about it?

- Maybe I am too?
- Pretty much.

This theory is nuttier than the one Mulder
came to town with. Where's the evidence?

Where's the body buried?

You're on pretty shaky ground here.

Something happened that night.

You're forgetting one thing -
Mulder wouldn't do this.

Look, somebody shot this man.

Somebody fired Mulder's weapon
and Mulder was here that night.

Proving Mulder's a murderer
will help you find him?

I'm not saying that he did this. Not yet. But he
was here for a reason, then he disappeared.

Why would these people - people
he'd never met before - try to cover it up?

That's the question here.

- Earth is fresh.
- Sheriff must've dug it up after I left.

- What would he want with the body?
- I don't know that he found it.

Looks like there's another way out.

Are you telling me
the man inside that casket did this?

Looks pretty deep. A man doesn't get shot
three times, then tunnel out of his own grave.

The sheriff said this transient
was unidentified, right?

That's right.

Then why'd somebody
leave these on top of his grave?

(car approaches)

We gotta move fast.

She's not ready yet.

Well, she better get ready.

I can't do this.

You've gotta do this.

We don't have another choice.

Paul?

Marie.

(car pulls up)

(grunting)

I'll be waiting for you.

(gun cocking)

(low growl)

(Marie gasps)

(whimpers)

(agonised yell)

(screams)

Our Father, who art in heaven...
Hallowed be thy name.

What is it now?

Mind if we come in?

- What do you think you're doin'?
- Looking for the sheriff.

He was here, wasn't he?

I've had a long day, so if you don't mind...

Mulder came back here that night
and shot a man in this room.

You know why, and so does your wife.

I want you guys out of my house, now.

Hey, did you hear me?

Mr Hangemuhl, we'd like to speak
with your wife. Where is she?

Where is she, Mr Hangemuhl?

Something happened here,
and I'm gonna figure out what it is.

(Skinner) Agent Doggett.

Looks like you missed a spot, Mr Hangemuhl.

(cries of pain)

(groaning)

(vomits)

(Skinner) Agent Doggett.

Hangemuhl says his wife must've coughed
up the blood. He insists he didn't harm her.

Of course he says that.

- Maybe he didn't.
- What are you talking about?

You said it before - Mulder wouldn't do this,
shoot a man in cold blood.

Unless he was trying
to protect Mrs Hangemuhl.

From who?

From the man that's supposed
to be buried in that coffin.

The county police found
something you ought to look at.

Mr Hangemuhl must've just
used water to clean this.

OthenNise, we might not have found it.

Look familiar?

We learned what we could.
This is short notice.

(Frohike) And a little outside
our area of expertise.

Plus the fact we were sleeping.

You wearing pants, Langly?

Uh... yeah.

- What'd you find?
- Thought you'd never ask, big guy.

The pattern is most likely a medicine wheel.

It's a symbol for healing associated
with North American shaman.

Now, the circle represents
the continuum between life and death.

The journey is separated by two roads -
one for happiness, one for sorrow.

Lakhota Indians teach that these elements -
life, death, sorrow, happiness - are all one.

But it takes an enlightened mind to see it.

Why paint it on a door, or mark it on a grave?

Well, that's the part that takes
some conjecture, Agent Dogbird.

We don't know why Mulder was there.

But there are legends of a sin-catcher
shaman, also known as a soul eater.

A soul eater?

They minister to the sick.
They consume their illnesses.

The symbol might be placed on a grave as
a sign of respect, or on a door as a summons.

- For what?
- To indicate a sick person lives there,

someone in need
of the creature's healing gift.

- Thanks for your help, boys.
- Yeah, you're welcome!

Marie Hangemuhl
suffered from a kidney disease.

- Agent Doggett?
- That wasn't a transient buried in that grave.

Sorry to disturb you at this hour, ma'am.
I'm Agent Doggett with the FBI.

May I come in?

The sheriff's report last May
said you found a body in the woods out here.

Look, the people of this town are keeping
a secret about that body, about who it is.

An FBI agent came here because he believed
that it was some kind of a soul eater.

Maybe it is.

You believe it too.
You put those stones on top of his grave.

The things you're asking about,
they've been this way for hundreds of years.

You can't change them.

A colleague of mine came here
to try and kill this thing last spring.

I believe he was trying to protect
a woman named Marie Hangemuhl.

I need your help.

You've got it all backward.

(dull thud)

(gasps)

I'm gonna get you out of here.

Agent Doggett.

- How is she?
- She feels fine. You believe that?

The doctor says Mrs Hangemuhl's kidneys
have spontaneously healed.

She's a healthy woman.

Explain that.

You're gonna have to explain it.
The sheriff's waiting to take your statement.

The sheriff knows. He's known all along.
So has her husband.

Known what?

That this soul eater took her to cure her.

I thought Mulder shot this man
to protect Marie Hangemuhl.

But it wasn't her he was trying to protect.

- Where you going?
- Something happened here.

It just wasn't what we thought.

To understand what this thing is,
you have to understand what it can do -

its gift.

People hate it because they need it.

It looks the way it does
because of their sickness.

- You care for this man.
- Someone always has.

Because you believe it?
That it can cure people's sickness?

Not cure.

Consume.

Mulder came to see you last year,

not to save Marie Hangemuhl...
to save himself.

Mulder was dying, but he kept it a secret.

He had an undiagnosed brain disease.

He was a sick man, desperate to find a cure.

They all are.

(agonised groan)

Mulder didn't do it.

Agent Mulder saw how it suffered.

He saw it in its eyes.

I knew what needed to be done.

I just couldn't bring myself to do it.

- Mulder killed it.
- He couldn't bear to add to its pain.

So he came back here that night
to take its pain away.

They buried it. It wanted to die.

It still does, but it can't.

All these months,
I've kept it here in secret.

But now that they know it's back,
it'll keep suffering.

(car approaches)

Sheriff, as a federal officer I'm asking
you and your men to get out of my way.

You can't take it, Agent Doggett.
It belongs to us.

This is a man.
He doesn't belong to anybody.

We have sick people.
Sick people who need what it has.

We're takin' it. You're free to go.

No, sir.

I'm drivin' this man out of here.

(woman screams)

(man) Sheriff.

It'll come back.

It always does.

All these years...
we didn't know what it could do.

It took your death.

You freed it.

- AD Skinner. You're here late.
- So are you.

I wanted to finish my case report
before Scully comes in tomorrow morning.

Have you?

I don't even know where to begin,
or how to explain it.

Only thing I do know is, is I'm no closer
to finding Mulder now than when I started.

You got inside of his head, Agent Doggett.

You understood why Mulder did something
I wouldn't have thought him capable of doing.

You want some free advice?
Don't write that report.

You turn that in, you open up a world
of trouble for Agent Scully. And yourself.

She didn't know anything about this, sir.
Of that I'm certain.

How many months will be lost proving that?

How much damage done to her good name?
To Mulder's? And to yours?

- For what?
- The truth.

You and I both know
what happened out there, Agent Doggett.

No one else needs to.
