The X Files: I Want to Believe Page #3

Like through dirty glass.

It's out there.

I know it.

Scully, what does he mean "like through dirty glass"?

- Mulder

- What?

Stop!

Okay, just feel free to give up like everybody else.

This is not my job any more, Mulder.

That's right. You're just like my booking agent now. Right?

You're right.

This is my fault.

What do you mean, it's your fault?

For getting you involved in this.

No. No. It was the right thing to do, Scully.

This is not about finding an FBI agent.

This is about you trying to save your sister.

My sister is dead

it hasn't stopped you from looking for her.

Mulder, I have been through this too many years with you believing you can save her.

You can not save her, not now, not ever.

I'm gonna need those men back!

- What are you doing?

- I'm trying to ignore you.

This it! here it is!

This is it.

We need shovels.

It's solid ice.

No. It's dirty glass.

Flashlight?

You're gonna need resources.

We need equipment! Concrete stays and a back hoe!

You two get on the line. You two, come with me.

Don't give up.

Please!

Get me out of here!

Help!

Help!

Let me out of here!

Please. I won't tell anyone.

I won't tell anybody. Just let me go.

I just want to go home.

I did not mean to hit his truck.

I didn't mean to do it. I didn.t mean to hit your truck.

Wait, wait!

Where? Wait! No!

What is this place? Who are you?

Please! Just get me outta here.

Get up.

I can help you get outta here.

HELP!

I think we can resolve, then, in good conscience and without objection...

... to relocate the patient to a facility suited and more...

... humane to his condition.

As you and I discussed, Doctor Scully...

... I was just informing the staff and doctors of the hospital's decision on Christian Fearon.

I'm sorry? What decision?

To relocate the patient to a hospice who will manage his palliative care.

That was a discussion, not a decision.

Well, it's been discussed here at length with no objection from your colleagues.

I have an objection.

You, Doctor Scully, have a patient with an untreatable condition.

Now that's very sad and unfortunate and nobody disagrees with that.

But he is my patient.

Unless you've come here today with a cure for Sandhoff Disease...

... we all ask that you let the boy go in peace.

Thank you.

I'd like to wrap up, so that we can get on to today's good work.

We have the final matter of a patient in intensive care, Doctor Willar's patient, I believe.

Admitted after suffering myocardial infarction.

There is a treatment.

The matter is resolved, Doctor Scully.

No, it's not.

The disease can be treated with interthecal stem cell therapy.

You're not serious? Don't put the boy through hell.

Would you do it if it was your son?

It's not her son and he's not yours.

And it's not an decision for hospital administration. It's his doctor's.

If you want to challenge that, you can take up the matter with a higher authority.

I have taken it up with the highest authority, Doctor Scully.

As should you.

Come on, pick up.

Come on!

Come on, answer!

"This Dana Scully. Please leave a message."

Hey Scully, it's me. I keep leaving you messages. Here's what I wanna tell you.

The woman's head in the ice, it's not the agent's. It's not Monica Bannan's.

We don't know who she is or why she's there, but so far...

... we have pulled eleven discrete human limbs from the ice and we're not even done yet.

Each one a clean cut, too. An exact match to the previous amputation you noted, Scully.

It looks like somebody's been dumping body parts in the ice for months, possibly years.

And there appears to be no pattern to the limbs. Men and women, all with healthy, undiseased tissue...

... according to forensics.

Which suggests to me that they are victims.

But here's the thing. What I need you to know.

We found more traces of your animal tranquilizer.

I do not know what the hell that means, but hopefully you cam make sense of it.

- Anything?

- No, I can't reach her, but this is going to make sense, this is a break. I can feel it.

Your feeling it, Father Joe's feeling it. All I'm feeling is my head spinning.

It is a serial case you've uncovered. You're gonna solve a dozen murders here.

Yes, but I'm no closer to finding my agent.

We're gonna find her. I know it.

Well, she may have to stand in line.

I see a woman's face.

Another woman, taken from a car.

She's being held...

... in a box, I think.

Is she with Monica Bannan?

I don't know.

Is it the same men that took her?

I think so.

Yes, it's the same men.

Do you see this or are you just telling these people what they want to hear?

- No!

- No, you don't see it?

No, it's the same men.

I want a car ready.

- To go where?

- I don't know yet.

- I don't believe this.

- That's been your problem from the start.

I can get you a car.

And a list of missing persons in the greater area for the last 48 to 72 hours.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Cheryl Cunningham, 34, never made it to work last night, no-show at home either.

There's no blood on the air bags. Driver's side window knocked out.

Keys in the ignition. Surviveable crash with a seat belt.

She sets off, take a shortcut.

Gets tired. Sits down and falls asleep. Happens all the time.

Pretty hard left turn for such a long, straight stretch of country road, don't you think?

But why settle for my opinion?

I'm sorry. I'm not getting anything.

What a surprise!

What a surprise.

I think we're done with Father Joe.

- We're not quite finished.

- What is that?

It's a medical ID bracelet. I noticed your missing agent wore one too.

- What are you thinking?

- Pop the trunk.

This isn't gonna do her much good.

Gym bag.

It's a bathing suit. It's frozen stiff.

- Chlorine

- Where's the nearest public pool?

Hi. We're hoping you can help us.

Would y'all like lockers?

No, we're with the FBI. We'd like to show you a photo, sir, if you don't mind.

Why would I mind?

Do you know this person?

Let me see.

These young people look so much the same.

- Do you have a sign-in register?

- Yes, I keep one every day.

- I'd like to see yesterday's. - I threw yesterday's away.

Excuse me. sir.

Doesn't he know that's the women's side?

Hi Christian.

You've got a whole bunch of people taking really good care of you today, okay?

What?

Now you look scared.

People say I went underground!

I'm sorry, Mulder.

I've got to keep my focus here.

It's the boy, isn't it?

Yeah.

I thought there was nothing to be done.

I'm taking a big chance on something.

A radical and extremely painful new procedure.

Last night you said that wasn't an option.

It wasn't last night.

What changed your mind?

When will you know if it's working?

- There's a series of these procedures and I won't know until they're all done.

But that's not what you came to talk about.

- There's another woman missing.

She and the missing agent swam at the same pool.

We found that the agent kept a locker there. We think they were stalked there, both of them.

The women had medical ID bracelets and they both had the same rare blood type, AB negative.
