Scene 04
FBI Headquarters · Kersh's Office
Fox Mulder
Deputy Director Kersh.
Alvin Kersh
I'm gonna ask you once and only once. Where is he?
Fox Mulder
Sir, of whom are we speaking?
Alvin Kersh
Cut the crap, agents. Have you ever wondered why... after 35 years in the Bureau... Walter Skinner isn't sitting on this side of the desk... or even perhaps running this whole damn agency, for that matter?
Dana Scully
Are you looking for Skinner?
Alvin Kersh
Let me be unambiguous... in the event that there are any questions about this in your conspiracy-addled minds. Walter Skinner's stalled career... has everything to do with his blind loyalty to the both of you... and your misguided search for some imaginary truth.
Fox Mulder
Sir, what is this about?
Alvin Kersh
Skinner's gone AWOL, Agent Mulder, without warning or explanation. And, frankly, I don't buy your naivete, not even a moment. He hasn't been the same since the two of you returned to the Bureau.
Dana Scully
Sir, has anyone checked his apartment? Could he have had a medical emergency?
Alvin Kersh
The director's asking questions about Skinner's activities that I can't answer. There's some implication that he recently started poking around... in places he shouldn't be poking.
Fox Mulder
What sort of places?
Alvin Kersh
I couldn't say. But if you truly care about his future in the FBI... I suggest you bring him back here while he still has a future to return to.
Scene 05
Skinner's Apartment Building
Dana Scully
What happened to the old reliable Skinner we knew and loved?
Fox Mulder
Well, based on his behavior the past couple months... it's safe to say the old Skinner has left the building.
Dana Scully
Mulder, do you think his disappearance actually has to do with us? Or something to do with William or that business with the Purlieu Services?
Fox Mulder
There's no way of telling what Skinner's been up to recently. But I'll keep my eyes peeled for cigarette butts.
Scene 06
Skinner's Apartment
Fox Mulder
Maybe he's out meeting with an interior decorator.
Dana Scully
No, I noticed this the last time that we were here. There are no personal items. No mementos, no knickknacks... no family photographs. It occurs to me that even after all these years... we know precious little about Walter Sergei Skinner beyond the professional. It appears he may suffer from moderate to severe constipation. I'm sorry to be a wimp, Mulder, but this just feels wrong. This feels like a real invasion of his privacy.
Fox Mulder
Well, it's not like Skinner to just disappear without telling anyone. You know? As much as I don't trust the guy right now... if he's gotten into a dangerous situation, he's gonna forgive us this little trespass.
Dana Scully
Look at this, Mulder. “Lance Corporal Walter Skinner. Third Battalion, Third Marines, United States Marine Corps." That's a peculiar way to address it. There's no return address.
Fox Mulder
Aah! Is that a--?
Dana Scully
Desiccated human ear. There's a note. “The monsters are here." Monsters, Mulder. Does that get your juices flowing?
Fox Mulder
As much as I appreciate any reference to my juices, Scully... my only concern here is for Skinner.
Dana Scully
But now I'm worried about him.
Fox Mulder
Me, too. “The Mud Lick Messenger."
Dana Scully
Mud Lick?
Scene 07
Mud Lick, Kentucky · The Drive In
Dana Scully
Well, this is strange. Based on the way that package was addressed... I requested some basic information about Skinner and his platoon in Vietnam... like names of his fellow Marines, et cetera...
Fox Mulder
Uh-huh.
Dana Scully
...and I've just received word that I've been denied access by the Bureau. That the information is classified top secret.
Fox Mulder
Well, the sheriff here in Mud Lick says he's got a body in the morgue minus an ear. I'll bet you that that victim turns out to be one of Skinner's platoon mates... from that classified list.
Trigger Davis
You ain't gonna find no kitten.
Fox Mulder
What?
Trigger Davis
Ain't no kitten out there.
Fox Mulder
No. All right.
Scene 08
Mud Lick · The Morgue
Sheriff Stenzler
Doctor Matthew Wegweiser.
Dana Scully
The victim was a medical doctor?
Sheriff Stenzler
That's correct, ma'am. Doc Wegweiser is-- Was our one and only town doctor. Terrific guy. Beloved. Went out for a hike Thursday last, never to return. Mrs. Wegweiser told us he hiked the same route several times a week. We found him on the trail, got himself snared in some kind of hunting trap.
Fox Mulder
A hunting trap?
Dana Scully
How do you account for the severed ear?
Sheriff Stenzler
Well, I can't, honestly.
Dana Scully
And the missing teeth?
Sheriff Stenzler
Missing teeth?
Dana Scully
The autopsy says that he was missing... Several upper and lower molars ...and a couple of bicuspids. But there's no evidence of advanced tooth decay or periodontitis. No evidence of manual extraction.
Fox Mulder
That mean something to you?
Sheriff Stenzler
It's funny because I just happened to have lost two teeth in the past month myself. And my wife lost one yesterday. We were puzzling over it at breakfast.
Fox Mulder
Hmm.
Dana Scully
The autopsy also says that there were wood splinters inside the wound. This hunting trap, did it have some kind of a spear or stake element?
Sheriff Stenzler
Yes, ma'am. It was a primitive whip trap. It's a bent piece of bamboo held by a trip wire. There's a sharpened spear attached at the end.
Fox Mulder
It's a punji stick.
Sheriff Stenzler
Pardon?
Fox Mulder
It's a simple spear made of wood or bamboo. It was used in Vietnam in any one of a number of insidious traps or weapons. Was Dr. Wegweiser here by any chance a Vietnam vet?
Sheriff Stenzler
I don't believe he was, no.
Dana Scully
Are there any other Vietnam vets in town that you know of?
Sheriff Stenzler
Oh, sure. Yeah, there's an institution outside of town called Glazebrook. Lot of guys were sent up there after the war. Lot of them stuck around when they got out.
Fox Mulder
I think we passed one on our way in.
Sheriff Stenzler
Old Trigger Davis. He's harmless.
Fox Mulder
Trigger?
Dana Scully
Is Glazebrook a mental hospital?
Sheriff Stenzler
Right, ma'am, a government-run facility.
Dana Scully
I'd like to see a list of past and current patients. Do you have access to that?
Sheriff Stenzler
Probably not. They run a tight ship up there. But I'll see what I can drum up.
Dana Scully
Thank you, sheriff.
Sheriff Stenzler
Anything to dispel the craziness everyone in town is buzzing about.
Fox Mulder
What kind of craziness is that?
Sheriff Stenzler
People are swearing they seen some kind of monster out in the woods.
Fox Mulder
Hmm.

Hunter
What is it?
[YELPS]
[DOG WHIMPERING]
Sheriff Stenzler
Tell them what you told me, Ed.
Ed
Well, Banjo called me up and said he saw a damn monster out here in his woods... and could I come with him and look around. We was having that look around when he just straight disappeared.
Fox Mulder
Did you say Banjo?
Sheriff Stenzler
Ozzy Krager. Friends call him Banjo. This is his property.
Fox Mulder
Did he describe this monster?
Ed
Well, first he thought it was a bear, shh, shh, shh, but then he saw big old horns.
Fox Mulder
And it was walking on two feet.
Ed
Same as people in town was talking about.
Fox Mulder
But Mr. Krager, I mean, Banjo, was he a Vietnam vet?
Ed
Yeah, he was.
Fox Mulder
This may seem like an odd question, but was he missing any teeth?
Ed
Yeah, he was. He'd just keep losing them, like he’s an old man or something. Well, I can't make much fun of him because I been losing some, too.
Fox Mulder
What's this?
Ed
That's, uh, that's one of them deer cams.
Sheriff Stenzler
Hunters use them for game surveillance. They send an alert to your phone when they detect movement.
Dana Scully
Can we review what's on it? Should be able to see it on a computer back at the station. Something about that camera that's troubling you, sir?
Ed
Banjo don't have no deer cams. I mean, at least none that I seen, and I hunt with him, like, every week.
Scene 11
Police Station · The Deer Cam
Dana Scully
The camera is motion activated... so it shouldn't take terribly long to find what we're looking for. Oh.
Fox Mulder
There.
Sheriff Stenzler
I don't believe it. There's our killer. Why do I get the distinct feeling you two know who that man is? That how it's gonna be? I've been nothing but courteous to y'all, and I don't appreciate being played a fool. Excuse me. I gotta go tell my people we found their monster.
Dana Scully
Sheriff, that man is our boss. Assistant Director Walter Skinner of the FBI.
Sheriff Stenzler
Well, what in the hell was he doing at my crime scene last night?
Fox Mulder
That's what we're here to find out.
Sheriff Stenzler
You're telling me you knew that man was here all along?
Dana Scully
Walter Skinner didn't do this. He's a good man. He's a smart man. He's been at the FBI for over 30 years, and this murder's sloppy. I mean, not that he's capable of murder. But if he was, he certainly wouldn't get himself caught on camera at a crime scene.
Sheriff Stenzler
So tell me, what's your good man doing... Standing over a dead body in the woods in the middle of the night? A body which he neglected to call in to any law enforcement agency... Including his own?
Fox Mulder
Well, I know it looks bad, sheriff, but I assure you, he's not your man.
Sheriff Stenzler
You can assure me all you want. I'll decide who my man is... when I get a chance to bring him in and have a conversation with him. Now, if you'll excuse me, I gotta go put out an APB for this Walter Skinner.
Dana Scully
What are you doing?
Fox Mulder
There's more on that tape, Scully.
Sheriff Stenzler
Put down an out all-points bulletin for a Walter Skinner, white male, glasses....
Dana Scully
Hurry up. You're gonna get us run out of town.
Sheriff Stenzler
--Armed and dangerous.
[BEEPING]
Scene 12
Outside the Police Station
Dana Scully
What did we just see, Mulder?
Fox Mulder
We find that monster, we find Skinner.
Dana Scully
Tell me you don't think that was some real, actual monster we just saw.
Fox Mulder
For once, we agree.
Dana Scully
Monsters don't dig pits and set traps.
Fox Mulder
That was a man in a mask.
Dana Scully
I'm more concerned about Skinner's state of mind right now.
[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]
Dana Scully
Maybe Skinner's experiencing a delayed form of PTSD from his time in Vietnam. That's, uh, not without precedent. And even the shock of receiving that ear in the mail is a pretty plausible trigger.
Fox Mulder
What? You said trigger. Trigger. Banjo.
Scene 13
Main Street · Trigger Davis
Fox Mulder
Kitten?
Trigger Davis
I already told you.
Fox Mulder
Yeah, you said I wouldn't find Kitten. But is Kitten a person? Is that somebody's nickname?
Trigger Davis
I told the eagle where to find Kitten's kitten.
Fox Mulder
The eagle. Hmm. Is the eagle bald?

[THUNDER RUMBLING]
Walter Skinner
Hello? Anybody here?
Scene 15
John's Story · Vietnam, 1969
John James
So I unload into this ditch, right? And they're deader than a bag of tent stakes, the whole lot. And I kneel down next to this little one. He's gotta be no more than 10, 12 years old. And I'm about to add another little adorable charm to my necklace. I take out my Ka-Bar... I slice this little monster's ear off like a hunk of Wisconsin cheddar.
Soldier
Oh, man, Kitten.
John James
But all of a sudden, he opens his eyes. Screams like a banshee!
Soldier
Takes off into the trees, hollering the whole way!
[LAUGHING]
John James
Uh.
Soldier
You're bleeding, man.
[SOLDIERS 2 AND 3 GROAN]
John James
Dang. That's the third one this week. Hey, they got a tooth fairy in ‘Nam?
Young Skinner
Get down! Aah!
John James
Speak of the devil. Ha-ha-ha.
Young Skinner
Whoo!
Scene 16
The Cabin · Davey James
Davey James
What are you doing in my house?
Walter Skinner
John, is that you? John.
Davey James
I'm not John. I'm Davey.
Walter Skinner
Davey. Well, you're John's son.
Davey James
You're Walter Skinner.
Walter Skinner
That's right.
Davey James
Father sure talks a lot about you.
Walter Skinner
Your father and I, heh, we went through a lot together.
Davey James
Calls you baby killer.
Walter Skinner
Where is your father, Davey?
Davey James
Father says it's your fault the way our life turned out. Because of your testimony against him after the war... Father spent 38 years in Glazebrook.
Walter Skinner
Until I got a letter from him last week, I thought he was dead. I spent years searching for him after his trial, but they vanished him. His records were sealed, even from me.
Davey James
Who vanished him?
Walter Skinner
The same people responsible for turning him from the good man he was into....
Davey James
Into what?
Walter Skinner
I only wanna help him.
Davey James
I'm sorry, I don't believe he wants your help, Walter Skinner. Father told me all the stories about his time in Vietnam.
Scene 17
Davey's Story · Vietnam
Davey James
There were monsters in that jungle. Because of his exposure to an experimental weaponized gas....
[YELLING]
Scene 18
The Cabin · Davey James
Davey James
He wasn't crazy like you said at his court-martial, but no one believed him. Not even Mother. No one except me.
Walter Skinner
Listen, Davey, I know what he saw. I got a glimpse of it myself, but it wasn't real. It was the gas using his own fear against him. Your dad was exposed to a lot more of it than I was, and it changed him.
Davey James
I watched it happen. And yet, you said nothing about that gas at his trial?
Walter Skinner
Did you?
Davey James
They'd let me visit him sometimes up at Glazebrook.
Walter Skinner
I had to sign all manner of non-disclosure documents.
Davey James
Do you realize how painful it was for me... to see my father wasting away at that sanitarium?
Scene 19
Davey's Story · Glazebrook
Davey James
They kept him behind glass the whole time. I couldn't even touch him. I couldn't touch my own father.
Scene 20
The Cabin · Davey James
Davey James
How could you let that happen to your friend?
Walter Skinner
I was forbidden to speak about the gas at his court-martial. I was following orders, doing what my superiors commanded me to do. I'm not saying it's right. It's not. And I have lived with the guilt of that decision every moment since. I think about him every day. But you gotta understand, your dad murdered innocent people. And I know it was because of the gas. I knew who he was before. But the man it changed him into.... He was dangerous, Davey. People are getting hurt again, and we can stop it. But you've got to believe that I am here to help him. I only wanna make things right. Please... Take me to him, Davey.
Davey James
Okay. I'll take you to him.
Scene 21
Mulder and Scully's Car
Dana Scully
His name is John "Kitten" James. He is or was, in fact, a patient at Glazebrook Hospital. But his military files, like the other files I've tried to access, are classified.
Fox Mulder
You think it's true, Scully, what Kersh said?
Dana Scully
What's that?
Fox Mulder
That we're the sole reason Skinner's career hasn't advanced in 30-some years?
Dana Scully
I hope not. I'd like to believe that his choice to stay loyal to us was exactly that, a choice. But if there's one thing I know about Walter Skinner... is he's a man ruled by his moral compass above all else.
Fox Mulder
There was a time I would have agreed with that unequivocally.
Dana Scully
I realize that his conduct has been strange... but don't you think we should give him the benefit of the doubt... after everything we've been through? I mean, especially in light of what we now understand he may have sacrificed for us. Let's just hope we find him before somebody else does.
Scene 22
Behind the Cabin · Night
Walter Skinner
Where are we going, Davey?
Davey James
It's not far now. This is what they drove him to.

The Cabin · Mulder and Scully Arrive
Davey James
Can I help you?
Fox Mulder
Special Agent Mulder. Special Agent Dana Scully. Are you related to John James?
Davey James
I'm his son, Davey.
Fox Mulder
We're looking for a man who we believe may be in the area... and may have served with your father in Vietnam. Walter Skinner.
Davey James
I don't believe I've heard that name before, no.
Dana Scully
Is your father home?
Davey James
No, I'm sorry. I haven't a clue where he is. I haven't seen him in weeks.
Dana Scully
Is it okay if we come inside for a brief moment? We'd like to get some insight on a few things.
Davey James
By all means. Right this way.

[JOHN CALE'S "FEAR IS A MAN'S BEST FRIEND" PLAYING]
Davey James
Can I offer you some tea or something?
Fox Mulder
No, no, I'm good.
Dana Scully
No, thank you. Um.... Mr. James, we understand that your father was a patient at Glazebrook?
Davey James
Yes, uh, that's right. For many years.
Dana Scully
And when was he released?
Davey James
He was released one month ago.
Dana Scully
On what grounds?
Davey James
Sorry?
Dana Scully
Why was he released after he had been confined for so many years?
Davey James
They determined that he was no longer a danger to himself or anyone else. Not that he ever was. Well, I guess he was a threat to someone.
Fox Mulder
Is this your mother?
Davey James
My mother died many years ago. Father's incarceration was very hard on her.
Fox Mulder
Do you mind if I ask how she died?
Davey James
Yes.
Dana Scully
Mr. James, a minute ago you said that your father was a threat to someone. What did you mean?
Davey James
Father had secrets.
Dana Scully
Secrets?
Davey James
About the government. Father was poisoned by an experimental weaponized gas in Vietnam.
Scene 25
Davey's Story · Glazebrook
Davey James
Because of his exposure, they continued to do tests on him... and other soldiers for many years at Glazebrook.
Scene 26
The Cabin · Mind Control
Fox Mulder
What kind of tests?
Davey James
Chemical and biological. They were trying to learn how to control human behavior. Harnessing our fears to manipulate us into violence.
[GRUNTING]
Dana Scully
Using this weaponized gas?
Davey James
The gas in the war was still in the experimental stage.
Fox Mulder
And they still haven't perfected it.
Davey James
But after years of testing it and honing it... they are getting close.
Dana Scully
To what end?
Davey James
Imagine the power of a government that could literally control the minds... of millions of its citizens. Influence every choice and decision they made simply by exposing them to this poison.
Dana Scully
You'll have to forgive me, Mr. James, but this sounds like a dystopian novel.
Davey James
It's happening right now in the United States of America. Do you honestly believe that after 30 years of research and development... and decades of experimenting on American heroes like my father... they would just be thrown in the trash? Never to be utilized?
Fox Mulder
Unlikely. The DoD and the CIA have been working on various incarnations... of mind-control projects since the '50s. Project Bluebird, MK-ULTRA, MK-DELTA.
Dana Scully
Well, those programs were supposedly ended in the early 1980s.
Fox Mulder
Supposedly.
Davey James
My father believed he was part of the program MK-NAOMI... which was a successor to MK-ULTRA. We don't know how they're using this chemical now, but we know that they are. Maybe they're poisoning our water or the food supply. Maybe they're putting it in those chemtrails behind all those commercial jets... that fly over our country every single day.
Fox Mulder
Thank you, sir.
Dana Scully
Thank you, Mr. James.
[MUSIC CONTINUES PLAYING]
Fox Mulder
You drive.
Dana Scully

Leaving the Cabin
Fox Mulder
Let's just get in the car and drive away.
Dana Scully
Mulder, you wanna tell me what's going on?
Fox Mulder
He claims not to know who Skinner is, but in the photo album... There were photos of his dad and Skinner like they were BFFs. And did you check out that SUV parked beside the cabin? Yeah, that definitely wasn't his. Skinner could be back there.
Dana Scully
Then why the hell are we driving away?
Fox Mulder
Just pull over here.
Scene 28
The Dirt Road
Fox Mulder
Get somewhere with cell reception, call the sheriff... and get every available officer down here.

The Cabin · Morning
Fox Mulder
Ambulance is on its way. I would call Kersh as soon as you get cell reception. Something you wanna share?
Dana Scully
Kersh indicated to us that we were responsible... for your lack of upward mobility in the Bureau.
Walter Skinner
If it wasn't for you two, I wouldn't be here right now. And I'm not talking about the fact that you showed up here today. I enlisted in the Marine Corps the day that I turned 18. I was a kid. Full of callow self-confidence, and faith, and this.... This kind of uncorrupted belief that I was doing the right thing. But John James... he didn't enlist. He was drafted. And his whole life was completely upended... by a war that he really, truly didn't even understand. And he was so afraid all the time. I felt like I had to protect him. But I didn't. I couldn't. That experience in Vietnam with John... it put a dent in that blind faith that I had in my government. It planted seeds of mistrust. I tried for years to suppress that mistrust, but it gnawed at me.
[SCOFFS]
Walter Skinner
Then you two. You two came along and you taught me not to hide from it... but to have the guts to shine a light directly into the darkest corners. And if given the choice between advancing my career... by being blindly loyal to some faceless puppeteers pulling strings from the shadows... or to throw in with you two, make no mistake about it... I'd make the same decision every single damn time. So I'm gonna go back, I'm gonna kiss the ring. But I intend to do right by this man... and that means finding the truth of what the hell it was they used him for. No matter the cost. I owe him that.
[SCOFFS]
Walter Skinner
I owe myself that.
