The Operating Theater

[EKG BEEPING]

Dr. Dave

He was just brought in, 30 minutes ago.

Technician

Nine fifteen p.m., respiration 17, body temp 97.6.

Dr. Dave

Heart rate-- Just give me a 22 scalpel.

Man on Radio

MAN [OVER RADIO]: They are dosing us, folks. I know what you're asking. Why would they dose us? Why would they use these planes? It's the same reason that chemtrails....

[EKG BEEPING]

Juliet Bocanegra

Lord Jesus Christ, son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.

Dr. Dave

Wait, pancreas looks bad. It might be infected.

Technician

Just leave it.

[SNIFFS]

Dr. Dave

Shame to waste a good pancreas.

Technician

It's ready.

Juliet Bocanegra

Those who love me, I will deliver.

Technician

Go, go, go!

Scene 02

The Operating Theater · Juliet

Juliet Bocanegra

Tell me where they are.

Dr. Dave

I don't know. I'm not part of them.

[BONE CRACKS]

Dr. Dave

I need medical attention.

Juliet Bocanegra

Ugh. Whosoever commits sin is the servant of sin. Last chance to save your soul. Where are they?

Dr. Dave

I told you. I don't know.

Juliet Bocanegra

Those who love me, I will deliver.

Dr. Dave

Ugh!

Juliet Bocanegra

Oh, jeez.

[CHOIR SINGING [IN LATIN]

Scene 03

St. Joseph's Church

Father Hardy

We break this bread to share in the body of Christ.

Congregation

We being many are one body for we all share in one bread.

Father Hardy

These are the gifts of God.

Congregation

For the people of God.

Father Hardy

Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life... and I will raise them up at the last day. For my flesh is true food... and my blood is true drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me... and I in them.

Congregation

Praise be to God.

[CELL PHONE BUZZING]

Father Hardy

Go in the peace of Christ. And may Almighty God bless you. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Scene 04

The Operating Theater · Day

Dana Scully

Special Agent Dana Scully. This is Special Agent Fox Mulder.

Detective Colquitt

We didn't request help from the Washington Bureau.

Fox Mulder

Well, we found reasons to become interested.

Detective Bludworth

Look, we know your reputation. You come into a case, take over, turn it upside down.

Fox Mulder

No, we like to think we uncover facets that would otherwise go unnoticed.

Detective Colquitt

You guys ID this gentleman?

Fox Mulder

His name is Robert Jenkins, 23.

Detective Colquitt

Trainer at Brooklyn Heights Fitness. He was abducted after work. Roommate hadn't seen him in 18 hours.

Dana Scully

Both victims have metal dowels impaled through their sternums.

Fox Mulder

Staked through the heart, you mean? I would've expected the weapon to be made of wood.

Dana Scully

A combination of the three types Cypress, cedar and pine.

Fox Mulder

That would imbue it with the holy properties necessary to defeat evil.

Detective Colquitt

Looks like you guys are up to speed. We've got our own stuff we need to attend to.

Detective Bludworth

We'll leave you to it.

Dana Scully

You did that on purpose.

Fox Mulder

You think? But there are multiple cases here, Scully. This victim was murdered by these two. Who, in turn, were murdered by someone else in a style... familiar to fans of Hammer horror films. Of which, I am one, guilty. The question is why were the organs harvested?

Dana Scully

There were about three-quarters of a million dollars’ worth of organs... Left in the cooler outside the emergency room.

Fox Mulder

Which tells me that whoever killed these two did not do it for material gain.

Dana Scully

“I will repay" was written on the cooler.

Fox Mulder

Sounds like a motive.

Dana Scully

Yeah. But whoever took the organs is not familiar with transplant procedures. That no hospital is gonna take those organs.

Fox Mulder

But maybe we can find a use for them.

Dana Scully

Someone went to a lot of trouble just to let them go.

Fox Mulder

The cooler that was left at the hospital was missing the liver and pancreas.

Dana Scully

A liver has a "need to use" time limit on it. I'll run a check on hospitals doing liver transplants over the next seven to 20 hours.

Fox Mulder

I'll go on some onion sites and see if any organs were put up for auction.

Dana Scully

Are those new?

Fox Mulder

Bifocals?

Dana Scully

They're not bifocals. They're progressives. They're called progressive lenses.

Fox Mulder

No need to get defensive.

Dana Scully

I'm not defensive.

Fox Mulder

Presbyopia is a natural part... of the aging process.

Dana Scully

We're all gonna go through it, Mulder. Just wait till you get gout.

Fox Mulder

Gout. You know, sometimes I wonder why we keep doing it, Scully... in the face of all this indifference and presbyopia.

Dana Scully

Did you get your hair cut?

Fox Mulder

Are you kidding me?

Scene 05

The Commune · The Barbara Beaumont Show

Announcer

ANNOUNCER [ON TV]: It's The Barbara Beaumont Show. Tonight's episode, “The Lion Tamer.”

Barbara Beaumont

I love this episode.

[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]

Barbara Beaumont

It's as funny now as it was 50 years ago.

Barbara (on TV)

A simple misunderstanding.

Barbara Beaumont

Uh-huh.

Barbara (on TV)

I can explain everything.

Joe (on TV)

Honey, is this gonna take long? I'm trying to finish this book.

Barbara (on TV)

Well, I can start in the middle.

[AUDIENCE LAUGHING ON TV]

Joe (on TV)

Start at the end.

Barbara (on TV)

All right. All right. We owe the city $200... for creating a public nuisance... the lion tamer $75 for the sick lion... the grocer $5 for the 10 pounds of meat... and the shoe shine boy a stick of gum.

[LAUGHING]

Barbara (on TV)

Do you wanna hear the details?

Joe (on TV)

I'm afraid I do. Thought you might. No. I mean... that's what I should've been afraid of when I said "I do."

Barbara (on TV)

Oh, honey, you can't live without me.

Joe (on TV)

I can barely afford to live with you. I just have one question, Barbara. Why?

Barbara (on TV)

Well, like I said, it's simple, really. I do it just for kicks.

[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]

Barbara Beaumont

I do it just for kicks.

[MUSIC PLAYING ON TV]

Barbara (on TV)

Well, like I said, it's simple, really. I do it just for kicks.

Scene 06

St. Joseph's Church · Mulder and Scully

Fox Mulder

Well, I didn't burst into flames when I crossed the threshold... so I guess they really do forgive a lot.

Dana Scully

In the last 24 hours, there have been 12 liver transplants... In a 450-mile radius, all of the donors have been accounted for.

Fox Mulder

Well, I checked the dark web and there's no organs for sale in this region. But the dead surgeon, uh... Doctor-- Oh, God, help me.

Dana Scully

Sorry.

Fox Mulder

Rednon. Dr. David Rednon had his medical license revoked for... over-prescribing opioids to bratski krug drug dealers.

Dana Scully

Russian mob.

Fox Mulder

And the kid that was with him was a street-level gangster.

Dana Scully

I think we should hand this over to the NYC Organized Crime division, Mulder. I don't think this is an X-File. I'm gonna need some time here. I can meet up with you later, or you can wait for me.

Father Hardy

Juliet.

Juliet Bocanegra

Yes.

[SIGHS]

Scene 07

The Commune · Barbara

Barbara Beaumont

Uh.... Where's the rest of it? Where's the rest of it?

[ALL GASP]

Barbara Beaumont

Cat got your tongues? You were all broken when I found you. Crippled, malformed. And I gave you hope. What do you see when you look at me?

Followers

Beauty and light.

Barbara Beaumont

And what do I see when I look at you?

Followers

Ugliness and pain.

Barbara Beaumont

No. No. I see love and obedience. I see the promise of what will be. We have all worked too hard... and sacrificed so much. Each one of us, transformed by the genius... of Dr. Luvenis. That's why we should all be so disappointed. Where is my heart? Where are my lungs?

Technician

There was a problem at the harvest. Someone attacked us. She killed Dr. Dave with a metal stake. I escaped with what I could.

Barbara Beaumont

I'm sure you did the best you could. I need a word with you.

Scene 08

St. Joseph's · Father Hardy and Juliet

Father Hardy

You have to have faith, Juliet. Faith that through Him, your sister Olivia will return to you. I'll pray for her. And you.

Juliet Bocanegra

No, Father. Prayers aren't enough. I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh... and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives... from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.

Father Hardy

Juliet--

Scene 09

St. Joseph's · Scully's Faith

Fox Mulder

Look at this, Scully. Today's scripture, Romans 12:19. "Vengeance is mine, I will repay." That's what was on the organ cooler.

Dana Scully

Well, it's a common biblical passage. Did I ever tell you how I came to believe in God?

Fox Mulder

No.

Dana Scully

When my brother Charlie was a baby... he got seriously ill. I think I was about 4. I later learned that it was rheumatic fever.

Fox Mulder

Hmm.

Dana Scully

Every night, Mom would tell us to get on our knees and pray for his recovery.

Fox Mulder

Your prayers were answered. He lived.

Dana Scully

Only, after the first couple nights, I wasn't praying for him. I was praying for a puppy. And we got one that Christmas. I thought God had performed a miracle.

Fox Mulder

I finally know why I'm not a Christian, Scully. My parents never got me a puppy. So are you praying for another miracle now?

Dana Scully

I don't know if I believe in miracles. But I do know the power of faith. I saw it in my mom, the strength that she received. I could use some of that strength now.

[SIGHS]

Dana Scully

I need what you have. You always bear north, Mulder. No matter which way or how hard the wind blows against you.

Fox Mulder

I think all I have... all any of us have... are the results of all the choices that we've made. And at the end of the day, we just hope that we made the right one.

[THUNDER RUMBLING]

Scene 10

St. Joseph's · Outside

Dana Scully

Mulder, it's locked.

Fox Mulder

I will repay. There's three bars missing. Someone is literally using the church to exact vengeance.

[GROANS]

Scene 11

The Commune · Barbara and Dr. Luvenis

Barbara Beaumont

One day without my dinnie, and look at me. I can already see the lines. I wanna cry.

Kayla

You look perfectly beautiful.

Dr. Luvenis

Not a day over 33, when I first fell in love with you.

Barbara Beaumont

That's sweet.

[MUSIC PLAYING ON TV]

Barbara Beaumont

You don't look bad for an 85-year-old.

Dr. Luvenis

All thanks to Kayla. She's my angel.

Kayla

You're my addiction, Dr. Luvenis.

Dr. Luvenis

I will be a worthy companion to you in no time.

Barbara Beaumont

I'm beginning to wonder.

Dr. Luvenis

No one could've predicted what happened last night. But I have a friend at the hospital. He's heard rumors about recovered organs, organs they can't use.

Barbara Beaumont

Our organs. Your excuses... don't solve the problem.

Dr. Luvenis

I will find them.

Barbara Beaumont

Attached to Kayla? Heh-heh. I don't think so.

Dr. Luvenis

Barbara--

Barbara Beaumont

I think you'll agree... That failure should not be rewarded. Kayla... I think you're ready to ascend.

Kayla

I am?

Barbara Beaumont

Mm-hm. Do you trust me? Have I ever lied to you?

Kayla

No. You're living proof.

Barbara Beaumont

That's right. Close your eyes.

Dr. Luvenis

Barbara, please.

Barbara Beaumont

Tell me your dream.

Kayla

I wanna be beautiful like you.

Barbara Beaumont

All right, my ugly duckling... prepare to be a swan.

[SIGHS]

[KAYLA GASPING AND CHOKING]

Dr. Luvenis

Hmm.

Barbara Beaumont

There. She looks better than ever. We'll eat her for now.

Dr. Luvenis

Her organs are already depleted.

Barbara Beaumont

So find me what I need... before we both start looking our age.

Scene 12

The Bocanegra House

Fox Mulder

Mrs. Bocanegra? I'm Special Agent Fox Mulder, this is Special Agent Scully.

Dana Scully

We're from the FBI.

Fox Mulder

We'd like to ask a few questions.

Mrs. Bocanegra

You have news about my Olivia?

Fox Mulder

We spoke to Father Hardy at St. Joseph's. He said your daughter has been missing for almost two months?

[SPEAKS [IN SPANISH]

Dana Scully

If we can come in, we might find something that would help us find your daughter.

Juliet Bocanegra

No. You can't come in.

Dana Scully

Sorry, but we're trying to help.

Juliet Bocanegra

Olivia doesn't wanna be found.

[SPEAKING [IN SPANISH]

Juliet Bocanegra

Mom, the truth is Olivia couldn't stand looking at that girl staring back at her in the mirror. She rejected her family and God.

Dana Scully

She joined a cult. If she's being held against her will... we can investigate and try and extract her.

Juliet Bocanegra

I know my sister. All right? She doesn't want our life. To her, we're monsters. She thinks she can change who she is and become something she will never be. I've given up on her.

Fox Mulder

Have you? Or will you repay? The cult your sister's in may be involved in illegal trafficking of human organs... or using them for unnatural purposes. I believe you know that. That's why you're trying to find her. You wanna save her.

Juliet Bocanegra

You have to leave.

Fox Mulder

Father Hardy was afraid somebody might be tempted to take the law into their own hands. Become an avenger.

Juliet Bocanegra

I want her to be found... so my mother will stop crying. That's all.

Scene 13

The Bocanegra House · Outside

Dana Scully

You think she's involved?

Fox Mulder

I think she is. My gut tells me she is. My gut doesn't need glasses.

[[NHALES SHARPLY]

Scene 14

The Commune · Night

Barbara Beaumont

There was nothing in her. No sustenance. No nutrients. You ruined her.

Dr. Luvenis

Kayla was as good as junk food.

Barbara Beaumont

Look at me. Hmm? What do you see?

Dr. Luvenis

You look as beautiful as ever.

Barbara Beaumont

Liar!

Dr. Luvenis

Barbara, this a dark time. No one is eating well. We need healthy organs.

Barbara Beaumont

Why can't we use one of them?

Dr. Luvenis

These children are our seeds. You don't eat the seeds, you eat the fruit from the trees.

Barbara Beaumont

Stop talking to me like I'm an idiot. You know I'm not a scientist.

Dr. Luvenis

But I am. Barbara, we've talked about this. The blood and organs in these children is being restructured... every time they drink their dinnie. But cell adhesion is not yet complete. Their morphogenesis is not finished. But then when they're ready... and they are surgically attached to you... then you are gonna reap the benefits of reverse aging.

Barbara Beaumont

Hmm.

Dr. Luvenis

Remember? Remember Dylan when he was attached to you?

Barbara Beaumont

Mm.

Dr. Luvenis

You glowed like a 20-year-old.

Barbara Beaumont

Yeah, I remember Dylan. He wouldn't shut up. I'm glad we ate him.

Dr. Luvenis

All of this is for you. Don't do anything rash. I have a lead on the organs left at the hospital. I'm gonna go get them for you.

Barbara Beaumont

Mm. I saw marionette lines in the mirror.

Scene 15

The Commune · Warren

Warren

Barbara? I hate to see you down. You make us happy. I was hideous, but you saved me, gave me joy. I wanna make you happy. I'll be dinnie. Because if I'm in you... I will always be happy.

Barbara Beaumont

Oh, Warren. Warren, Warren.

Warren

Oh.

Barbara Beaumont

You are such a beautiful person. Because of what you have offered me... I'm going to do something very, very special. For you. Come on. I am going to perform my favorite song. I sang this song on the Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour in 1973. And they told me that at the time it was the highest-rated show they'd ever had. Higher than Charo or Muhammad Ali. It also won an Academy Award that year. Maureen McGovern made it famous... but people tell me that they like my version better. And so, Warren, to you I say....

[SINGING "THE MORNING AFTER"]

Scene 16

The Commune · Bedroom

Joe (on TV)

Whoops.

Barbara (on TV)

Aah. You're in an awful hurry this morning, Joe. Honey, I'm in a pickle. I forgot it's Mr. Morris’ birthday.

Joe (on TV)

I don't want to be a suck-up....

Barbara Beaumont

You're interrupting my prep. I have to memorize my lines.

Dr. Luvenis

"Double Trouble." You've seen this a thousand times.

[GASPS]

Barbara Beaumont

How dare you?

Dr. Luvenis

I had to break in to the cold storage at the hospital to get this.

Barbara Beaumont

You did that for me?

Dr. Luvenis

Everything I do. Well, I know exactly what you need.

Barbara Beaumont

Olivia. It's your day to be beautiful.

Scene 17

The Apartment Building

Fox Mulder

They're here, Scully. The organs are somewhere inside. You were right. They need those organs.

Dana Scully

It was easy enough to put a tracker in the heart. But harder to get the hospital to loosen their security so they could steal it.

Building Super

No vacancy.

Fox Mulder

Open the door. Federal agents.

[EKG BEEPING]

Scene 18

The Commune · The Surgery

Dr. Luvenis

Olivia, if you can hear me, I want you to count backwards from 100. One hundred. Ninety-nine. Ninety-eight. All right, Calvin, you may begin. Cut the back to expose the descending aorta.

Scene 19

The Apartment Building · The Super

Building Super

The only people living here are on the fourth floor.

Fox Mulder

What do you know about the tenants?

Building Super

The only person I know is Barbara Beaumont.

Fox Mulder

She's owned this building for over 40 years. Barbara....

[GROANING]

Fox Mulder

Barbara Bea Beaumont. Child actor.

Dana Scully

Our Gang shorts.

Fox Mulder

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.

Dana Scully

TV Westerns. Dragnet.

Fox Mulder

The Barbara Beaumont Show, 1967.

Dana Scully

Then, um... nothing much ever again. So at 85, does she need assistance?

Building Super

I don't know. Look, I've never met her. Never even seen her. Once a while I get a note to go up and fix stuff. I never see nobody when I go up there. But I know they're there. Just from the smell.

Fox Mulder

Husband of 22 years died of leukemia, 1970. Joined a Life Extension "commune" in northern California. Married a Dr. Randolph... Luvenis, Luvenis, Luvenis.

Dana Scully

How long have you been a super here?

Building Super

Seven years.

Dana Scully

Seven years, and you've never talked to her?

Building Super

All right, it's weird. But this is the Bronx. There's an envelope full of money in my mailbox every two weeks. First time there's been a problem.

Fox Mulder

Seven years and you've never crossed paths?

Building Super

She don't go out the front.

Fox Mulder

What about the people on the fourth floor? They ever leave?

Building Super

This building is 1890s. It's got, like, a dumb waiter system. It's been modified, long before I ever got here. Like trap doors and ladders. It goes out the basement, then the sewers and the subway. These people never see the light of day. Every room's got one.

Scene 21

The Fourth Floor

Fox Mulder

Miss Barbara Beaumont? Federal agents. We have reason to believe someone inside... may be in possession of contraband human organs. We tracked a signal to this apartment.

Dana Scully

I guess we'll go away and get a search warrant. We'll be back.

Barbara Beaumont

Hello.

Fox Mulder

Hello.

Scene 22

The Commune · Barbara Beaumont

Fox Mulder

I'm Special Agent Mulder, this is Special Agent Scully with the FBI.

Dana Scully

Oh. And you are?

Barbara Beaumont

Well, you tell me.

Dana Scully

I'm sorry. Can you tell us your name?

Barbara Beaumont

Haven't you seen The Barbara Beaumont Show? Gentlemen Prefer Blondes?

Fox Mulder

Loved you on Dragnet.

Barbara Beaumont

Thank you. Everyone says that was their favorite episode.

Dana Scully

Did you know Jack Webb?

Barbara Beaumont

I did not.

Dana Scully

I'm sorry, but we're looking for Barbara Beaumont.

Barbara Beaumont

Don't-- You-- You-- You really don't recognize me? It's-- I'm Barbara. I'm Barbara Beaumont.

Dana Scully

We're looking for an 85-year-old woman.

Barbara Beaumont

Yes, well... I look good for my age, don't I? Heh. I keep it dark in here, not because I'm trying to hide anything. I believe women should have a little bit of mystery. Sunlight is strictly verboten. It's terrible for the skin. You should be careful, darling. If it's not already too late.

Dana Scully

Okay. We're also looking for this woman, Olivia Bocanegra.

Barbara Beaumont

Is she a Netflix executive? Oh, yes, let's get our selfie and then you can be on your way.

Dana Scully

This is her. Have you seen this woman?

Barbara Beaumont

No. No.

Fox Mulder

Scully. No.

Barbara Beaumont

No, no, no!

Scene 24

The Basement · Dr. Luvenis

Dr. Luvenis

Let her go. Let her go. She's a part of me of her own volition. You can ask her yourself if you like.

Fox Mulder

You've surgically attached yourself to the girl?

Olivia Bocanegra

We're helping each other. I've seen it with my own eyes.

Dr. Luvenis

Have you ever asked yourself what could be achieved... what would be possible if we were free from government restraints... and regulations?

Fox Mulder

What have you achieved?

Dr. Luvenis

I found a cure for the greatest disease to afflict mankind. Every human being has a time bomb built into their genes. I defused it. Sarcopenia. Cardiomyopathy. Presbyopia. These are all just symptoms. But through heterochronic parabiosis, I have reversed time. Olivia is my parabiont. And together we are gonna cure this horrible disease.

Fox Mulder

Age isn't a disease, it's a natural progression.

Dr. Luvenis

I don't accept the premise that we have to grow old.

Fox Mulder

She's having a seizure. We gotta get you to the hospital.

Dr. Luvenis

This is what we want.

Fox Mulder

Your experiment is over.

Dr. Luvenis

Not unless you want her to die first. The genie is out of the bottle. We are all running out of time.

Fox Mulder

No!

Juliet Bocanegra

I will deliver.

[OLIVIA PANTING]

Juliet Bocanegra

Olivia.

Olivia Bocanegra

Juliet? What are you doing here?

Juliet Bocanegra

I came for you.

[SIGHS]

Dana Scully

My fall was broken by decade's worth of trash. But I'm okay.

Juliet Bocanegra

Don't feel sorry for me. I know I'm going to prison... but I made a choice, it was mine. I'd gladly trade my lifetime here for an eternity in heaven.

[MRS. BOCANEGRA PRAYING [IN SPANISH]

[CONTINUES PRAYING [IN SPANISH]

Scene 26

Cathedral of the Sacraments

Dana Scully

That must be a sign. I'm all out of miracles. Turn back. Give up. Accept your place in the numbing embrace of the status quo. Mm-mm.

Fox Mulder

I will relight your candle... and extend your prayers through mine.

Dana Scully

What prayers?

Fox Mulder

I can't tell you, they won't come true.

Dana Scully

It's a prayer candle, Mulder, not a birthday cake. Mm-hm. Heh. Prayers aren't meant to be sentiment. It's a conversation. You can do it like a meditation. Or if your needs exceed your grasp... you can ask God to act on your behalf. But you don't believe in God. So you'd essentially be talking to yourself.

Fox Mulder

I may not believe in God, but I believe in you. Therefore, I speak to him through you. So it's a transitive property of equality. If A equals B and B equals C... therefore A equals C. Reason and faith in harmony. Isn't that why we're so good together?

Dana Scully

Are we together? You know, I believed I could protect our son. And I failed. I believed that we could live together. And I fled. I gave up on that too. If only you had fled earlier.

Fox Mulder

Do you know how many times I've envisioned that scenario... where you left that basement office before I even needed glasses? You'd have your health... your dog... Your sister. You'd be Kersh's boss at the FBI. You'd be married to some brain surgeon... and have a bunch of kids that you wouldn't have to give up.

Dana Scully

Mulder, I don't begrudge you any of those things. That's not what I was talking about.

Fox Mulder

What are you talking about, Scully? Because I don't know if any God is listening, but I am standing right here. And I'm listening. Right beside you. I'm all ears.

Dana Scully

That's my choice.

[CHOIR SINGING [IN LATIN]

[WHISPERING [INDISTINCTLY]

Dana Scully

That's not my 4-year-old self looking for a miracle. That's my leap of faith forward. And I'd like to do it together.

Fox Mulder

I've always wondered how this was gonna end.
