Scene 01

GREENWICH, CONNECTICUT

Woman

What's she doing there by herself?

Man

Teena?

Woman

Honey? You're freezing. Where's your jacket?

Man

Where's your daddy?

Teena Simmons

In the yard. He told me he needed some time to himself.

Man

I'd say his time's up.

Woman

Come on, honey. I'm sure he wouldn't want you to catch cold.

Scene 02

BACKYARD

Man

Joel? Hey, joel, the swing set's supposed to be for your daughter, not for you.

( screams )

Man

I'll call 911.

Teena Simmons

Daddy?

Scene 03

FBI HEADQUARTERS

Dana Scully

Death by hypovolemia 75% blood loss. That's over four liters of blood.

Fox Mulder

You could say the man was running on empty.

Dana Scully

The man's daughter, eight years old was away from his side no more than ten minutes. She doesn't remember anything. No trace evidence at the scene.

Fox Mulder

Any evidence would have been washed away by yesterday's rain.

Dana Scully

There were two small puncture wounds

Fox Mulder

Are you at all familiar

Fox Mulder

Hmm? Since 1967, over 34 states have reported unsolved cases of cattle mutilations.

( projector humming )

Fox Mulder

The trace evidence is remarkably similar. Incision marks of surgical precision. The area around the mouth, and, often, the sexual organs has been removed. There's a substantial degree of blood loss without a trace of blood.

Dana Scully

How can that be?

Fox Mulder

Exsanguination. If you stick a needle in the jugular of any living creature the heart itself acts as a pump. These animals had their jugulars punctured the same as that man, only this is the first time I've seen it on a human being.

Dana Scully

But there was no struggle. How can a man just sit through a bloodletting?

Fox Mulder

The m.e. Found traces of digitalis-- a south american plant that can be used as a paralytic drug.

Dana Scully

These x files indicate this is a UFO-related phenomena. Often, there are sightings in the sky near the incident, surface burns...

Fox Mulder

Witnesses often report time loss. We've seen this in abduction cases. That might explain why she can't remember anything.

Dana Scully

Mulder, why would alien beings travel light-years to earth in order to play doctor on cattle?

Fox Mulder

For the same reason we cut up frogs and monkeys. Besides... They seem to have stepped up their interest.

Scene 04

FAIRFIELD COUNTY SOCIAL SERVICES HOSPITAL GREENWICH, CT

Social Worker

Her mother passed away from ovarian cancer two years ago. There's no other family. We'll keep teena here until we can place her with a foster family.

Fox Mulder

Has she spoken about it?

Social Worker

No, not a word.

Fox Mulder

Any nightmares?

Social Worker

No. At least, not that I know of.

Dana Scully

Can we talk to her now?

Scene 05

TEENA'S ROOM

Social Worker

Teena? These are the people we talked about. This is miss Scully and mr. Mulder. Do you think you can talk to them?

Dana Scully

Hi. I know you must be feeling very sad right now and scared but we want to find out what happened so we can help stop whoever hurt your daddy, okay? Did you ever see any strangers with your daddy at home? Did you ever see anyone yell at your daddy or your daddy yell at them?

Teena Simmons

No.

Dana Scully

Can you think of anyone who might want to hurt your daddy?

Teena Simmons

No.

Fox Mulder

That's a nice bunny, teena. Can we talk about what happened that day? About what happened in the backyard? You remember any strange sounds or lights or anything like that?

Teena Simmons

There was red lightning.

Fox Mulder

Can you tell me more about the red lightning?

Teena Simmons

I can't remember. It all went dark.

Fox Mulder

Have you ever seen anything like that before?

Fox Mulder

When?

Teena Simmons

The men from the clouds. They were after my dad.

( telephone rings )

Dana Scully

Scully.

Fox Mulder

Why were these men after your dad?

Teena Simmons

They wanted to exsanguinate him.

Dana Scully

Mulder.

Dana Scully

There's been another one.

Scene 06

REARDON CRIME SCENE - MARIN COUNTY, CALIFORNIA

Dana Scully

In the jugular.

Fox Mulder

What?

Fox Mulder

It's like looking at a mirror image.

Dana Scully

The victim, reardon, was married with one daughter. Cause of death: hypovolemia. Mulder, this is uncanny. They also found traces of the poison, digitalis.

Fox Mulder

Puncture wound?

Dana Scully

Uh... Yes. On the jugular. The time of death was estimated at 2:30 p.m. Same day, only three hours earlier than the simmons murder.

Fox Mulder

That's pacific standard time. That makes it the exact same moment.

Dana Scully

It appears as if we have two serial killers working in tandem.

Fox Mulder

No, serial killers rarely work in pairs and when they do they kill together, not separately.

Dana Scully

Mulder, nothing beyond your leading questions to teena simmons substantiates a UFO mutilation theory.

Fox Mulder

Was reardon's daughter here when he was murdered?

Dana Scully

Uh... Yes. The police report states that she remembers nothing. She's with her mother and family in sacramento.

Fox Mulder

When will they be back?

Dana Scully

Tomorrow.

Fox Mulder

Even money, she'll remember red lightning.

( footsteps approaching )

( screaming )

Scene 08

HALLWAY

Social Worker

Teena? Teena? Teena?

Scene 09

REARDON HOUSE - NEXT DAY

Cindy Reardon

With the phenomenon of cattle mutilations?

Dana Scully

She was kidnapped from the social services home around 11:00 p.m. Last night. Looks like someone was afraid she might remember too much.

Fox Mulder

Someone or something, Scully.

Dana Scully

Connecticut state troopers set up roadblocks within a half an hour. Nothing.

Fox Mulder

Maybe they weren't looking in the right direction.

Dana Scully

I told them to contact us in case they find her. Teena?

Cindy Reardon

No.

Dana Scully

What's your name?

Cindy Reardon

Cindy reardon.

Fox Mulder

Do you live here, cindy?

Cindy Reardon

Ever since I was born, eight years ago.

( whimpers )

( yelling )

Television Broadcast

Which is now known as...

Scene 10

REARDON HOUSE - LATER

Television Broadcast

This is the ceremonial signing of the bill

Television Broadcast

And forever forward from this point on, known as...

Fox Mulder

Cindy really is a beautiful little girl, mrs. Reardon.

Mrs. Reardon

Doug and I wanted to spoil her. We wanted to protect her from everything horrible in the world. She was daddy's little girl.

Fox Mulder

Is she an only child?

Dana Scully

May I ask... Was cindy adopted?

Mrs. Reardon

No. I gave birth to her at san rafael general.

Dana Scully

So I assume you have all the proper documentation-- birth certificate...

Mrs. Reardon

Of course I do.

Fox Mulder

Was she the only child delivered at that birth?

Mrs. Reardon

What the hell kind of question is that? Look, I have told the police everything I know.

Fox Mulder

Mrs. Reardon, have you ever seen this man before?

Mrs. Reardon

Is this your suspect?

Fox Mulder

No.

Mrs. Reardon

Did he do something to cindy?

Fox Mulder

No, he...

Dana Scully

No, mrs. Reardon. This is not your daughter. That girl's name is teena simmons. She lives in greenwich, connecticut. That man-- her father-- was killed in the same manner as your husband.

Mrs. Reardon

Cindy is my daughter. I can show you videos of her birth. We tried for six years to become pregnant.

Fox Mulder

In vitro fertilization? At which clinic?

Mrs. Reardon

The luther stapes center down in san francisco.

Fox Mulder

Thanks.

Scene 11

OUTSIDE

Dana Scully

Do you still believe this is UFO-related? Cindy reardon didn't see red lightning.

Fox Mulder

The only thing similar about these girls does seem to be their appearance.

Dana Scully

There is the random possibility that two people can have an unrelated likeness.

Fox Mulder

Who both just happen to see their fathers exsanguinated. I'd like to get the odds on that in vegas.

Scene 12

CAR

Dana Scully

The girls are the one and only link between identical murders.

Fox Mulder

And one girl was just abducted.

Dana Scully

Kidnapped.

Fox Mulder

♪ po-ta-to, po-tah-to... ♪

Dana Scully

Where are you going?

Fox Mulder

If the murders were committed by the same person part of the pattern involves kidnapping the daughter.

Dana Scully

You'd expect the pattern to continue.

Fox Mulder

I'm going to watch the girl. You check out the clinic. See if the simmons were enrolled.

Dana Scully

I'll call the san francisco bureau and get someone to relieve you.

Fox Mulder

Okay.

Scene 13

LUTHER STAPES CENTER FOR REPRODUCTIVE MEDICINE

Dr. Katz

During vitro fertilization

Doctor

We can implement fertilization and implantation of the embryo in the uterus.

Dana Scully

Could a patient believe she was receiving her own egg but actually receive another without her knowledge?

Doctor

Not here. We have very strict controls.

Dana Scully

Are you aware of ever having patients named claudia and joel simmons?

Doctor

That's confidential. It's our policy.

Dana Scully

Both the simmons are dead and their daughter has been kidnapped. I'd say any information you have that could help would override your policy.

Scene 14

DOCTOR'S OFFICE

Dana Scully

You had copies of their records transferred to greenwich, connecticut in 1991. They came here nine years ago under the supervision of a dr. Sally kendrick? Is there a problem?

Doctor

Dr. Kendrick was nothing but a problem.

Dr. Sally Kendrick (recorded)

Hello, and welcome to the luther stapes center for reproductive medicine. I'm dr. Sally kendrick a specialist in the exciting field of in vitro fertilization...

Doctor

She was a resident here in 1985. Brilliant. First in her class at yale med where she got her m.d. After completing her doctorate in biogenetics. Oh, we were thrilled to get her.

Dana Scully

And now you don't sound so thrilled.

Doctor

We have reason to believe that dr. Kendrick was tampering with genetic material of fertilized ova in the lab prior to implant-- experimenting with eugenics.

Dana Scully

Did you report this to the a.m.a.?

Doctor

Of course. I fired her and requested an investigation from the health department.

Dana Scully

And what happened?

Doctor

The a.m.a. Censured her. My request for an investigation was denied.

Dr. Sally Kendrick (recorded)

...at luther stapes...

Doctor

Dr. Kendrick... Disappeared.

Dr. Sally Kendrick (recorded)

We know the pain of infertility, and we are ready to help. In the next half hour I'll guide you through our I.v.f. Program...

Scene 15

HOTEL ROOM

Dana Scully

Kendrick supervised the reardons' and simmons' I.v.f. Program. It seems she experimented at the clinic.

Fox Mulder

And maybe now she's trying to erase the results?

Dr. Sally Kendrick (recorded)

I wish that we could guarantee everyone success but with our scientific advances a little luck, and a lot of hope miracles can happen.

Dana Scully

Well, she must have had an accomplice in order to have done both murders.

Fox Mulder

So you think this is a vendetta that she and a colleague have against the stapes center?

Dana Scully

Have you abandoned your UFO connection?

( phone rings )

Dana Scully

Hello? Hello? Just a couple clicks. Must be the wrong number.

Fox Mulder

I'll tell you what... I'm going to sleep on it and we'll talk about it in the morning.

Dana Scully

Mulder, you're rushing me out of the room.

Fox Mulder

No, I'm not.

Dana Scully

Do you have a girl coming over?

Fox Mulder

What's a girl? I got a movie to watch on TV. Sleep tight. See you in the morning.

Scene 16

PIER

Deep Throat

Are you certain she hasn't followed you?

Fox Mulder

What are you doing here?

Deep Throat

Well, I thought we might take in a warriors game. No. Actually, I was just in the neighborhood

Deep Throat

Wondered if I had ever told you about the litchfield experiments.

Fox Mulder

Hmm... No, you haven't.

Deep Throat

Well, it was a most... Interesting project. Highest level of classification. All records have since been destroyed. And those who knew of it will deny knowledge of its existence. In the early '50s during the height of the cold war we got wind that the russians were fooling around with eugenics-- rather primitively, I might add-- trying to crossbreed their top scientists, athletes-- you name it-- to come up with the superior soldier. Naturally, we jumped on the bandwagon.

Scene 17

WHITING INSTITUTE FOR THE CRIMINALLY INSANE

Fox Mulder

The litchfield experiment.

Deep Throat

A group of genetically controlled children

Deep Throat (voice-over)

Who were raised and monitored on a compound in litchfield. The boys were called "adam" and the girls were called "eve." there's a woman you should see and I'll make sure that you can get in.

Scene 18

INSIDE

Fox Mulder

Agents Mulder and Scully here to see eve 6.

Guard

Deposit your firearms. Sign for these.

Fox Mulder

What are those?

Guard

Panic buttons. Can't let you inside without one. Thank you.

Scene 19

LATER

Dana Scully

Why the flashlight?

Guard

She screams and screams if we turn the overheads on. No one's ever got a real good look at her. We'll be right outside.

Scene 20

INSIDE CELL

Fox Mulder

Hello?

Eve 6

So I guess you found what you're looking for. One of us, at least.

Dana Scully

Sally kendrick.

Eve 6

Unlock the chains, and then we'll talk.

Fox Mulder

They're probably there for a good reason.

Eve 6

No. A bad reason. I paid too much attention to a guard. I bit into his eyeball. I meant it as a sign of affection.

( laughs )

Eve 6

Are you here to give me an I.q. Test, by any chance? I think I can top 265. We're very bright, we eves. It runs in the family.

Fox Mulder

Where are the others, the adams and the eves? We're prone to suicide.

Eve 6

All that's left is me... And eve 7. She escaped early on. And eve 8. She escaped ten years later.

Dana Scully

Are you sally kendrick?

Eve 6

That's not my name, but... She is me, and I am her, and... We are all together.

Dana Scully

Did you work for the luther stapes center for reproductive medicine in 1985?

Eve 6

In 1985, I had been tied up like this for two years and for what reason? No reason. I did nothing. I'm just me. They made me... But did they suffer? No. No, I suffer. I suffer! They keep me alive for the litchfield project. They come in and they test me. They poke me to see what went wrong. Sally knows what went wrong. You and you-- you have 46 chromosomes. The adams, me, the eves-- we have 56. We have extra chromosomes. Number four, five, 12, 16, and 22. This replication of chromosomes also produces additional genes. Heightened strength, heightened intelligence...

Fox Mulder

Heightened psychosis.

Eve 6

Saved the best for last. You don't believe me. I have proof. Look on my wall. My family album.

Dana Scully

My god. It's the girls.

Eve 6

We were close. We were very close.

Fox Mulder

Sally kendrick was using the clinic to carry on the litchfield experiment. She was cloning herself.

Scene 21

REARDON HOUSE

Cindy Reardon

"now I lay me down to sleep

Cindy Reardon (voice-over)

"I pray the lord my soul to keep "if I should die before I wake I pray the lord my soul to take." god bless grandma and grampa stenner irma and irmapop and god bless mom and please take care of daddy up in heaven.

Mrs. Reardon

You're such a special little girl, cindy. Good night, honey.

Scene 23

CAR

Fox Mulder

If eve 6 is right then there are two other eves out there. That could account for the two identical murders occurring at exactly the same time. Sally kendrick does have an accomplice. Herself.

Dana Scully

Until I heard that, I suspected the girls.

Fox Mulder

No, no. It seems the two remaining eves are doing away with the parents

Scene 25

CAR

Dana Scully

Do you suppose the girls have any idea of what they are?

Fox Mulder

I hope not.

Dana Scully

Mulder, let's go!

Scene 27

CAR

Fox Mulder

I'll take the back.

( knocking )

Scene 29

INSIDE HOUSE

Dana Scully

There's someone upstairs. Wait outside.

Scene 32

OUTSIDE HOUSE

Fox Mulder

FBI! I'm armed! Which one are you? Eve 7 or eve 8?

Eve 7

Drop it. You know I'm capable. Slow. Very slow.

Scene 33

LATER

Dana Scully

The suspect's name is sally kendrick early 40s, 5' 8", 135 pounds. Now, she may have an accomplice similar in appearance. Kendrick is driving a light blue '93 corolla. She has exceptional strength for her size. So you must consider her armed and dangerous. Quite possibly she'll display severe psychotic behavior. The oakland bureau is here to orchestrate the search across the bridge.

Mrs. Reardon

What if..? What if she kills her?

Fox Mulder

First doug, now cindy? The fact that kendrick and her accomplice murdered the fathers and abducted the girls tells us that they want them alive. I'm sure cindy's alive and we'll find her.

Dana Scully

And then what do we do?

Scene 35

INSIDE

Eve 7

I'm sorry you have to meet this way but it's the best for all concerned. Teena simmons, meet cindy reardon.

Scene 36

REARDON HOUSE

Fox Mulder

Yes.

Cop

Agent Scully? They found the light blue corolla in the parking lot of san francisco international.

Dana Scully

Start a check on every single passenger list for every flight that left the terminal within the past 12 hours. Check every terminal and make sure she's not hiding out for a later flight. Remember, she may have an accomplice.

Fox Mulder

A motel manager in pt. Reyes has a guest matching sally kendrick's description.

Dana Scully

We found the car at the airport.

Fox Mulder

She might have ditched it. The manager said this woman checked in with a little girl that she leaves in the afternoon by herself, is gone all night and returns with the girl.

Dana Scully

The area is a place full of vacationing families with kids.

Fox Mulder

This kid said to use chlorine to eradicate the dinoflagellates in the swimming pool. Sound like someone you know?

Dana Scully

That's it.

Scene 37

HOTEL

Eve 7

I've always kept a close eye on your behavior no matter where I was. The last few years I spent in search of the remaining eve. That, however, was cut short by your... Activity. I'd hoped my work at the stapes center had corrected the litchfield flaws. Psychotic behavior didn't develop in the adams and eves until age 16, homicidal behavior at 20. Imagine my... Disappointment when I learned of your accelerated development. How did you learn of each other's existence?

Teena Simmons & Cindy Reardon

We just knew.

Eve 7

Did you discuss how you would orchestrate your little... Prank?

Teena Simmons & Cindy Reardon

We just knew.

Eve 7

Why murder your fathers? They weren't our fathers.

The Other One

We have no parents.

The First One

We weren't born.

The Other One

We were created.

Eve 7

You... You cannot think that way. You're human beings... Different, special... But you cannot give in to genetic destiny. That's why I've taken you. I was raised by a man who knew what I was. He was a genetic engineer on the project. With the proper environment and a program of long-term medication... You can become like me. And not the other eves.

( rattling )

Eve 7

Wh-what..? What have you done?

Teena Simmons or Cindy Reardon

Your soda--

The Other One

Four ounces of foxglove.

The First One

Extracted from a digitalis plant.

The Other One

This much is a lethal dose.

The First One

We cultivated them ourselves.

Eve 7

Wh-why?

Teena Simmons or Cindy Reardon

You tell us.

The Other One

You made us.

Cindy Reardon

We're your mistake.

Eve 7

I-I'll...

Scene 38

LATER

Cop

Well, I waited like you told me. No one's come in or out that I could tell.

( glass breaking )

Cop

Get the back!

Scene 39

INSIDE

First One

We were all supposed to drink but we only pretended to drink it.

Other One

They tried to poison us.

Fox Mulder

Who's they? She and another lady. What did the other lady look like? Eve 8. They were working together.

Dana Scully

It's all right. We'll take care of you. You're safe with us.

Scene 40

LATER

Cop

Okay.

Dana Scully

It looks like the eves mixed about four ounces of digitalis in each glass.

Fox Mulder

Their own mini-jonestown. Eve 6 said they were prone to suicide.

Dana Scully

It has a sweet flavor. It's probably not even perceptible in soda.

Cop

So far, there's no sign of the other suspect. We'll have an officer take the girls back.

Fox Mulder

No, maybe it would be best if we take responsibility for the girls.

Dana Scully

We can get them checked out by a doctor.

Cop

Okay, whatever. Okay.

Scene 41

OUTSIDE

Dana Scully

Come on, girls. We're going to take you back.

Cindy Reardon

Back where? What's going to happen to teena?

Dana Scully

We'll talk about it in the car, okay? They've already grown so attached. It will be hard when teena's placed in foster care.

Scene 42

ROAD - NIGHT

Teena Simmons

Agent Mulder, I have to go to the bathroom.

Cindy Reardon

Me too.

Fox Mulder

Can you hold it?

Teena Simmons

I really need to go.

Dana Scully

I could use some caffeine.

Scene 44

INSIDE

Fox Mulder

Hi. Where's your bathroom?

Waitress

In the back. You'll need a key.

Fox Mulder

Thanks. Oh, can I get four diet sodas?

Teena Simmons & Cindy Reardon

Regular.

Fox Mulder

Regular. All right. Two diet and two regular. To go, please. Thanks.

Scene 45

WOMAN'S RESTROOM

Teena Simmons

Agent Scully, my door's stuck.

Dana Scully

Just a second.

Scene 46

COUNTER

Dana Scully

Just a minute.

Teena Simmons

It's okay. My dad will pay for them when he gets out of the bathroom.

Waitress

Okay.

Fox Mulder

Those are the diet?

Teena Simmons or Cindy Reardon

I think these are.

Fox Mulder

Are you sure? It's really sweet.

Teena Simmons or Cindy Reardon

Try it. It's diet. I saw her pour it.

Fox Mulder

Okay.

Dana Scully

Let's go. Come on. Don't forget the drinks. Ah, the drinks.

Waitress

How much? Five dollars.

Dana Scully

Okay.

Fox Mulder

Want to pay?

Teena Simmons or Cindy Reardon

Sure.

Fox Mulder

There you go. You got those? Thanks.

Scene 47

OUTSIDE

Dana Scully

Mmm, tastes syrupy. Cindy, you didn't pick up my keys off the counter, did you?

Cindy Reardon

No.

Dana Scully

No? All right. I'll be right back.

Scene 49

OUTSIDE

Fox Mulder

Scully!

Dana Scully

What?

Fox Mulder

Scully... Just wanted to open the car door for you.

Dana Scully

Mulder! It's them. They poisoned it. Let's just get them in the car.

Fox Mulder

Okay. I only had a sip.

Dana Scully

We didn't drink enough to make us sick. Stop it!

Fox Mulder

Scully! I got them!

Teena Simmons & Cindy Reardon

Leave me alone!

Fox Mulder

I got them!

Dana Scully

Scully!

Truck Driver

Hey! What the hell are you doing?

Fox Mulder

I'm a federal agent.

Truck Driver

And these are america's most wanted? Hands in front.

Teena Simmons & Cindy Reardon

Leave me alone!

Truck Driver's Wife

Now let the girls go. Get in the truck, girls. I'll call the police.

Fox Mulder

We are the police!

Teena Simmons & Cindy Reardon

They went that way.

Scene 50

TRUCK STOP

Dana Scully

You seen the twins we were with?

Waitress

No, I... There's a bunch of schoolkids just left on that bus.

Scene 51

OUTSIDE

Fox Mulder

Forget your sodas?

Teena Simmons

We didn't do anything wrong.

Cindy Reardon

We're just little girls.

Fox Mulder

That's the last thing you are.

Scene 52

REARDON HOUSE

Fox Mulder

You have?

Mrs. Reardon

They said they have an excellent program.

Fox Mulder

They can't hide behind a bureaucracy, mrs. Reardon. You have every right to know what happened-- a right to know about your daughter.

Mrs. Reardon

All I need to know is she was not my daughter. She never was.
