Scene 01

[ man chattering ]

Lauren

That's a little hard to believe. Really?

Virgil Incanto

No, I'm pretty much of a homebody. But all that changed, just from your words, the way you saw things. I knew I wanted to meet you.

Lauren

Well, I hope you're not too disappointed.

Virgil Incanto

Lauren, we have a real connection, which is rare.

Lauren

Most men don't feel that way.

Virgil Incanto

Most men don't know what they're missing.

[ nervous giggle ]

Virgil Incanto

What?

Lauren

I can't believe this. I-I mean, I can't believe that after three months, we finally meet in person, and you're-- I don't know. I'm just really enjoying myself tonight. Oh, no. Oh.

Virgil Incanto

Here. Let me help you.

Lauren

My sister gave it to me. For good luck, I guess. Kind of dopey, huh? I mean, a cloverleaf. How blatant can you get?

Virgil Incanto

It's beautiful.

Lauren

Thank you.

Scene 02

WAREHOUSE

[ muffled screams ]

[ indistinct police radio chatter ]

Cop

Cock-a-doodle-doo. Rise and shine in there. Mother of god. Dispatcher, this is car seven-three. I got a d.p. Out on the lakefront at erie and capitol. Over.

[ chattering ]

Scene 03

WAREHOUSE

Detective Cross

We're not 100% certain, but from the driver's license, we suspect that it's Lauren mackalvey. I want you to get on it.

Police Officer

All right. We'll check this out. Why don't we go down and check around? Sounds good.

Detective Cross

Agent Mulder? Alan Cross, Cleveland p.d. Thanks a lot for coming out so quickly.

Fox Mulder

This is my partner, Dana Scully. Hi.

Detective Cross

We found the purse in the front seat of that car over there. According to the license, her name is, uh, Lauren mackalvey, but, uh, we're not sure yet that this is her body.

Dana Scully

You're not sure?

Detective Cross

We couldn't make a positive ID, considering. Wendy sparks, she's our bureau liaison. She thought this would be, uh, closer to your area of expertise.

Dana Scully

Any indication what would have been the cause of death?

Detective Cross

We were lucky to get her into the bag without her body falling apart.

Fox Mulder

This substance, did you find it anywhere else in the car? In the carpet or the upholstery?

Detective Cross

As a matter of fact, no.

Fox Mulder

So, it was only on the victim's body.

Detective Cross

That's what it looks like. Why? Do you have an idea what happened here?

Fox Mulder

No. Not yet.

Dana Scully

We'll call you when we find anything else concrete. Detective?

Detective Cross

Yeah, sure. Call me.

[ chattering ]

Dana Scully

Mulder, what do you think it is?

Fox Mulder

A couple of months ago, a case came across my desk from the mississippi office. Four women from aberdeen had disappeared in less than a month.

Dana Scully

Disappeared?

Fox Mulder

Only one of the victims was found, but her body was too decomposed to perform a viable autopsy.

Dana Scully

Mulder, what we just saw was not decomposition.

Fox Mulder

I know. I want you to find out what this is while you're at the coroner's.

Dana Scully

What about you? Where are you going?

Fox Mulder

I'm going to try to find out if Lauren mackalvey was a lonely heart. Each of the aberdeen victims had answered personal ads in the local papers. If this is the same killer, he's just getting started.

[ computer keys clacking ]

Scene 04

APARTMENT

[ chuckles ]

[ knock at door ]

Virgil Incanto

Yes. What is it?

Landlady

The handyman replaced the locks on the storage closets, and I wanted to bring by your new key. I know what you do, mr. Incanto.

Virgil Incanto

What is it you think that I do?

Landlady

With all your typing and those packages from publishers in New York? You're a novelist, right? Or an editor. You see, I'm a writer, too.

Virgil Incanto

What a coincidence. Shouldn't you be off writing or something?

Landlady

I don't mean to impose or anything, but would you mind reading something of mine? It won't take much time. They're poems.

Virgil Incanto

Certainly. Good-bye.

Scene 05

AUTOPSY BAY

[ door lock clicks ]

Detective Cross

Oh, it's you.

Dana Scully

That's not a problem, is it?

Detective Cross

No. Just that dr. Kramer didn't tell me that you were observing the autopsy.

Dana Scully

I'm not observing. I'm performing it myself.

Detective Cross

You're a medical doctor?

Dana Scully

You sound surprised.

Detective Cross

I don't know. I, uh, I guess maybe I am.

Dana Scully

Why?

Detective Cross

It's nothing personal, agent Scully. I'm just... Old-fashioned in certain regards.

Dana Scully

"old-fashioned"?

Detective Cross

The truth is, I question the wisdom... Of assigning female law enforcement officers to certain types of cases.

Dana Scully

Like this one?

Detective Cross

Whoever killed Lauren mackalvey has a definite attitude toward women, right? So this has to be affecting your judgment.

Dana Scully

I appreciate your concern, detective, but it's not necessary. All I want to do is solve this case, just like you.

Detective Cross

Look. I'm not being sexist here. I'm just being honest.

Dana Scully

Where would you like the autopsy report sent?

Detective Cross

You can fax it to my office.

Dana Scully

The date is august 29. The time is 4:15 p.m. The subject's name is Lauren mackalvey, caucasian, female. Approximate time of death uncertain. Cause of death unknown.

Scene 06

Scene 06

Roommate

It just doesn't make sense. He seemed so nice.

Fox Mulder

I thought you said you never met the man Lauren was with last night. Oh, they met through an on-line service?

Roommate

In one of those chat rooms. You know, where people get together to talk about whatever they're into.

Fox Mulder

Right. Do you remember what chat room Lauren was in when she met him?

Roommate

"big and beautiful." she had kind of a weight problem. But "2shy" didn't seem to care. It wasn't about sex with him. "2shy"? That was his on-line name. Lauren used to... Read me his letters. They were amazing. He knew exactly what to say. Sure as hell fooled me.

Fox Mulder

She read you his letters. Do you think that she kept any hard copies of them?

Roommate

Actually... I saved them myself. If you want, I could get them for you.

Fox Mulder

Yes. Can I use your phone?

Roommate

Yeah, it's right over there.

[ phone ringing ]

Dana Scully

Scully.

Fox Mulder

Listen, Scully. Our killer may have moved out of the personal columns and onto the internet. I'm going to send out a localized on-line warning.

Dana Scully

How do you know it's the same guy?

Fox Mulder

Because he opened the account with one of the aberdeen victim's credit cards. I just called the on-line service.

Dana Scully

Mulder, meet me in the coroner's office as soon as you can.

Fox Mulder

Did you find anything?

Dana Scully

There's not going to be an autopsy.

Scene 07

AUTOPSY BAY

Dana Scully

It's a metacarpal from Lauren mackalvey's hand. In life, bones have the tensile strength of forged iron. Even in death, they remain strong. But look at this.

Fox Mulder

What did this turn out to be?

Dana Scully

It's organic, mostly hydrochloric acid. Similar to what is secreted by the gastric mucosa.

Fox Mulder

It's similar to stomach acid?

Dana Scully

Almost identical, only twice as acidic. I also found trace amounts of pepsin, which is a digestive enzyme.

Fox Mulder

So, you're saying that this did that?

Dana Scully

I don't know how else to explain such accelerated autolysis.

Fox Mulder

Okay, what's in here, Scully, theoretically... Should contain the same cellular components as her various tissues, right? Skin, muscle, blood.

Dana Scully

In some broken-down form, yes.

Fox Mulder

In the results of your chemical analysis, did you find anything missing?

Dana Scully

Missing?

Fox Mulder

Yeah.

Dana Scully

I don't think so. All of the body tissues were accounted for. Except there were extremely low, almost trace amounts of adipose.

Fox Mulder

Fatty tissue. That could explain the weight discrepancy.

Dana Scully

What weight discrepancy?

Fox Mulder

Well, the m.e. Recorded Lauren's weight at 122, but her driver's license had her at 165.

Dana Scully

Well, she probably lost weight since the license was issued.

Fox Mulder

Actually, Lauren's roommate said she was quite nervous about meeting this guy, because she'd put on some weight recently.

[ scoffs ]

Dana Scully

What possible motivation could the killer have for removing his victim's fatty tissue? I mean, who do you think we're dealing with here?

Fox Mulder

I don't know.

Scene 08

ELLEN'S APARTMENT

Ellen

God, I look awful. Please tell me it's the mirror.

Jo

Ellen, this wasn't some public-service announcement. It was an on-line warning by the FBI aimed specifically at women in Cleveland.

Ellen

Give me some credit, will you, jo? I happen to be a pretty good judge of character.

Jo

Look. I'm not trying to freak you out or anything.

Ellen

No? Well, you're doing a pretty good job of it.

Jo

I just think you should be careful, that's all.

Ellen

Do you think this is easy for me? I finally connect with someone I like who seems to like me. I'm scared enough to meet him for the first time... Without you telling me he's charles manson.

Jo

I didn't say that.

Ellen

Besides, it's not like he's some stranger. I've been chatting with him every day for over a month.

Jo

I know. And he's probably as great as he sounds. But what if he isn't?

Scene 09

Scene 09

[ sighs ]

Sex Worker

Check it out. Want a little chocolate tonight?

[ chattering continues ]

[ horn honks ]

Sex Worker 2

Hey, baby. Right here.

[ chattering continues ]

Sex Worker 4

Right over here, baby. I'm here.

Sex Workers

Got what you need over here, if you'd like some of this. Ooh, yeah. See something you like? You want some? I think he have the hots for you, baby. I think so.

Sex Worker 4

[ laughs ] hey, hey! What do you like, baby? Uh-uh. No kissing. Anything else you want is fine, but no kissing.

[ belt clinking ]

Sex Worker 4

What are you doing? [ screams ]

Sex Worker

Aah! Oh!

[ grunts ]

[ screams ]

Sex Worker 5

There's a place we can go near here. Nice and cozy.

John

Okay.

[ woman laughing ]

[ gasping ]

John

Uh-uh. Forget this.

Sex Worker 5

Oh, my god.

Scene 10

Scene 10

Detective Cross

From all of them. Her name was holly mcclaine. She's worked this area for a couple of years now, but she wasn't most johns' first pick, if you know what I mean.

Fox Mulder

What happened?

Detective Cross

Looks like our guy again. One of the other girls found her.

Dana Scully

All of the air passages are blocked with what appears to be... The same viscous hydrochloric acid we found on Lauren mackalvey.

Detective Cross

You know what this stuff is? Hey, this is still my case.

Fox Mulder

We're dealing with a serial murderer... Who's using an on-line service to attract his victims. All single women looking for mr. Right.

Detective Cross

That doesn't jibe with a $20 hooker.

Fox Mulder

No, it doesn't. Something must have gone wrong last night. He was forced to improvise.

Detective Cross

We're still talking about a guy without a consistent m.o.

Fox Mulder

Not necessarily. These are letters he e-mailed to Lauren mackalvey. They contain lines from a handful of 16th-century italian poems.

Detective Cross

So he has a copy of bartlett's quotations. So what?

Fox Mulder

You won't find any of these in bartlett's.

Detective Cross

I'm not sure I follow you.

Fox Mulder

Look at this. Ginaselli's la vita nuova, castionni's il cortigiano, and a few others I won't even try to pronounce. These are from obscure text from privately-owned libraries that lend to academic affiliates.

Detective Cross

You're saying our-- our suspect's a college professor?

Fox Mulder

Or a graduate student, a visiting fellow, maybe a translator. What we need to do is compile a list of everybody in the Cleveland area... Who has these kind of credentials. Can you do that?

Detective Cross

Yeah. I'll get right on it.

Dana Scully

Here's something else that might help. The killer should have an identifiable wound pattern from this.

Fox Mulder

Looks like she took her pound of flesh, huh?

Scene 11

INCANTO'S APARTMENT

[ doorbell buzzes ]

Virgil Incanto

Yes?

Delivery Guy

I got a package for Incanto from stratcher publishing.

Virgil Incanto

Leave it.

Delivery Guy

Sorry. I gotta get a signature.

[ sighs ]

Jesse

Hello, mr. Incanto.

Virgil Incanto

Good afternoon, Jesse.

Landlady

Jesse, did you find those drop cloths yet? Oh, mr. Incanto. I didn't know you were out here.

Virgil Incanto

I'm just picking up a package.

Landlady

Jesse, did you know that mr. Incanto's a writer?

Jesse

I know, mom. You told me a thousand times.

[ embarrassed chuckle ]

Landlady

I'm putting those poems together. If you don't mind, I'd like to drop them by sometime.

Virgil Incanto

Just slip it under my door.

Landlady

After you've read them, can I take you to dinner somewhere?

Jesse

[ Jesse ] give me a break.

Virgil Incanto

Actually, I'm busy. I have a deadline.

Landlady

I don't believe this.

[ knocking at door ]

Virgil Incanto

Excuse me.

Landlady

I wish you weren't always so rude to him.

Jesse

I don't care. He creeps me out. Plus he smells gross, like he uses dish soap for after shave.

[ scoffs ]

[ computer keys clacking ]

Scene 12

CLEVELAND POLICE DEPARTMENT

Detective Cross

Okay. Blaine just gave me the list from the university. How's it going over here?

Dana Scully

Good. We're just expanding the search... To include the faculty rosters from the local community colleges. We-- oh, excuse me.

Detective Cross

Sure. I'll let you know what we turn up.

Fox Mulder

Did you find anything?

Dana Scully

We're almost done with the list.

Fox Mulder

That skin you found under the prostitute's fingernails? I had the crime lab check the DNA results against the known offenders database.

Dana Scully

And? Well, it says here they didn't find a match.

Fox Mulder

No, but they did find something else. Check the next page where it's circled.

Dana Scully

"the skin sample contains no oils or essential fatty acid." there are any number of factors which could have caused that result. Where are you going with this?

Fox Mulder

Okay, it's not yet the finely-detailed insanity you've come to expect from me. It's just a theory, but what if he's not doing this... Out of a psychotic impulse but rather out of some physical hunger? Maybe he needs to replenish this chemical deficiency in order to survive.

Dana Scully

From a dry-skin sample, you're concluding what? That he's some kind of a fat-sucking vampire?

Fox Mulder

I don't know how else to explain Lauren mackalvey's missing adipose. I bet if you check the aberdeen victims, you'd find exactly the same thing. This killer secretes a digestive substance which renders the victim's fat--

Dana Scully

Which he ingests before the rest of the body dissolves entirely.

Fox Mulder

There are examples of this in nature, aren't there?

Dana Scully

Yeah, scorpions predigest their food outside of their body... By regurgitating onto their prey. But I don't know too many scorpions who surf the internet.

Fox Mulder

Okay, but if I'm right, then we're not just looking for a serial murderer. We're looking for some kind of genetically-different human being, a creature who may be responsible for who knows how many missing persons... Throughout the united states.

Detective Cross

We've combed every faculty list and academic journal in Cleveland. Came up with 38 names. I figured we'd divvy up the list, and I'd get the captain to put more people on it.

Dana Scully

I'd like to brief them, if that's okay with you.

Detective Cross

Sure.

Scene 13

INCANTO'S APARTMENT

[ knock at door ]

Dana Scully

Mr. Brenman? I'm special agent Scully from the FBI would you mind if I ask you some questions? Thanks.

Detective Cross

I'm sorry to bother you.

Detective Cross

I'd like to ask you a few questions.

Virgil Incanto

Sure.

Scene 14

CLEVELAND POLICE DEPARTMENT

Dana Scully

These are all university addresses. Chances are he spent most of the morning on campus.

Fox Mulder

Scully. I wouldn't have made a good amway salesman. I knocked on more doors than--

Dana Scully

Cross hasn't checked in yet. We've been trying his cell phone, but there's no answer.

Scene 15

RESTAURANT

Ellen

I'm treating you.

Virgil Incanto

No, I insist.

Ellen

After the way I stood you up, I'm the one who should insist.

Virgil Incanto

Please?

Ellen

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have--

Virgil Incanto

It's a kind of eczema. I've had it since I was a kid.

Ellen

Oh. You know, I still feel so stupid about the other night.

Virgil Incanto

Ellen, you don't have to make any excuses. Whatever reasons you had, I'm sure they were good ones.

Ellen

You were right, though, about me being afraid. It's a pretty hard habit to break.

Virgil Incanto

You're not still afraid, are you?

Ellen

No, I'm not.

Virgil Incanto

Good. Unfortunately, I have to get going. The last crosstown bus leaves in 15 minutes.

Ellen

You're taking the bus home?

Virgil Incanto

My car's in the shop, but I'll call you.

Ellen

Don't be silly. I'll drive you.

Virgil Incanto

Ellen, you don't have to.

Ellen

I'm driving you home.

Scene 16

Scene 16

Landlady

Mr. Incanto?

Ellen

So, how long have you lived here?

Virgil Incanto

Not very long.

Ellen

You know, I only live a few blocks away, near st. Mark's, until some developer decided to turn it into condos. You can still see the steeple.

Virgil Incanto

Ellen, you don't have to be nervous.

Ellen

I'm not very good at this. It's been a long time since I've been in this type of situation.

Virgil Incanto

It's okay.

[ fly buzzes ]

[ flies buzzing ]

[ sniffing ]

Virgil Incanto

Why don't you come up with me? I'll read you that poem I told you about-- il cassone.

Ellen

I don't know. It's kind of late.

Virgil Incanto

Well, I don't want to say good night just yet, do you? You know what? You're absolutely right. It's late. I have a lot of work I have to do. Excuse me.

[ flies buzzing ]

Scene 17

Scene 17

[ sniffing ]

[ door creaks ]

[ door creaks ]

Jesse

Mr. Incanto? Mr. Incanto?

Virgil Incanto

What is it, Jesse?

Jesse

Uh, do you know where my mom is?

Virgil Incanto

Your mother? No.

Jesse

She takes a class down at st. Frank's tonight, a poetry class, and she was supposed to be home over an hour ago.

Virgil Incanto

I'm sure she'll be home soon.

Jesse

She didn't stop by to say hi or anything?

Virgil Incanto

No. Not tonight.

Jesse

Okay. Thanks. She'll probably be home soon.

Virgil Incanto

I'm going to New York for a few days on business. Don't worry about your mother. I'm sure she'll be fine.

[ chattering, phones ringing ]

Police Officer

Cleveland p.d.

Scene 18

CLEVELAND POLICE DEPARTMENT

Police Officer

His name's Cross.

Fox Mulder

That's right. He would have been by sometime this afternoon.

Dana Scully

Maybe sometime this morning. Do you remember what time specifically? Could you describe him to me for verification? Excuse me a minute. Did you find him?

Fox Mulder

We just got a 911 reporting a possible homicide... From a young girl at one of the addresses on Cross's list.

Scene 19

Scene 19

Cop

Police!

[ chattering ]

Police Officer

Clear back here. We got two in here.

Dana Scully

Mulder. The landlady's body. We found her in the bathroom.

Fox Mulder

What about Cross?

Dana Scully

I know this is hard to talk about right now, but I need you to tell me exactly what happened.

Jesse

I smelled her perfume.

Dana Scully

Your mother's perfume?

Jesse

That's when I knew he was lying. She was wearing her perfume when she left for class.

Dana Scully

And you smelled it in his apartment?

Jesse

I was-- I was scared that he'd hurt me. I could tell he wanted to. And then he grabbed me.

Dana Scully

He grabbed you?

Jesse

After I bumped into the suitcase, he grabbed me pretty hard.

Dana Scully

What suitcase?

Jesse

It was next to the door. He said he was going away on business or something.

Dana Scully

Did he say where?

Jesse

Um, New York.

Dana Scully

Okay, Jesse, that helps us. I'm gonna take a couple minutes and go talk to agent Mulder. Mrs. Shepherd is right here.

Jesse

Agent Scully?

Dana Scully

Yeah.

Jesse

Why would someone do this?

Dana Scully

I don't know, Jesse.

Fox Mulder

The composite artist came up with this sketch from a neighbor's description. His name is Virgil Incanto. At least that's what it says on his rental agreement. But other than that, there's no record the guy even exists. There's no d.m.v., no birth certificate, no social security, not even a bank account.

Dana Scully

What about employment records?

Fox Mulder

He's a translator of italian literature. Freelance. His publisher pays him in cashier's checks.

Dana Scully

He told the girl he was on his way to New York.

Cop

I'll check flight schedules and have the airport issue an a.p.b.

Dana Scully

What is it?

Fox Mulder

He's not going to New York, Scully. Not now. He's smarter than that. He knows how to survive, you know?

Dana Scully

Well, how are we going to track him?

Fox Mulder

Well, he made contact with each one of his victims, right?

Dana Scully

Yeah.

Fox Mulder

That means they're all in here somewhere. Each one of them-- past, present and future.

Scene 20

FBI REGIONAL OFFICE

Tech

All the files have been deleted.

Fox Mulder

Any chance of resurrecting them?

Tech

It's hard to say. He deliberately reformatted his hard drive. This guy didn't want anyone looking at his stuff.

[ computer beeps ]

Tech

Hmm. The good news is... I can restore the erased files.

Dana Scully

And the bad news?

Tech

These files are all password-protected and encrypted. It could take some time.

Fox Mulder

Well, we don't have much time.

Tech

It'll take as long as it takes.

Scene 21

Scene 21

[ doorbell rings ]

Ellen

Joanne? Is that you? Joanne? Who is it?

Virgil Incanto

Ellen, it's me.

Ellen

It's late.

Virgil Incanto

I know. And I'd like not to wake your neighbors. Can we talk about what happened tonight?

Ellen

There's nothing to talk about. You made it pretty clear what you wanted.

Virgil Incanto

No, you don't understand.

Ellen

I think I do.

Virgil Incanto

Look, Ellen. I gave you a second chance... After you kept me waiting in that restaurant for two hours. Give me the same courtesy, please. And then if you want me to go, I'll go. Only, let's not do it out here. Thank you.

Ellen

You want some coffee? I can make some.

Virgil Incanto

Yeah. I'd like that.

[ door lock clicks ]

Scene 22

CLEVELAND POLICE OFFICE

Dana Scully

You're right, Mulder. They're coming up empty at the airport. So I'm releasing the sketch to the media. We still have time to make the morning papers.

Fox Mulder

That may not be necessary.

Dana Scully

"friend"?

Fox Mulder

That was Lauren mackalvey's on-line name. These are all his victims. It's a regular grocery list.

Dana Scully

We need this scanned and sent to everyone on that list.

Tech

Done.

Dana Scully

I'm gonna call the on-line service and have them fax us... The telephone numbers of all those women.

[ phone ringing ]

Scene 23

Scene 23

Ellen

The machine will pick up. Milk? I only have nonfat.

Virgil Incanto

No, no, no, this is fine.

Ellen

[ ring ] give me a minute, will you? I'd like to put on some clothes.

Virgil Incanto

Ellen, you don't have to do that.

Ellen

I want to. I'll be right back.

Scene 24

FBI OFFICE

Dana Scully

Just lock your doors until we contact you again. You'll be fine, ms. Innes. He doesn't tend toward forcible entry.

Fox Mulder

Okay, thanks. That was Cleveland p.d. They've already reported three of the women on the list as missing.

Dana Scully

Well, we've already contacted everyone on this list directly, except for these two. I left messages on their answering machines.

Fox Mulder

We'd better check on them.

Scene 25

Scene 25

Computer

[ beeps ] you have mail.

Virgil Incanto

Ellen? I hope you're not on-line with some other guy.

Ellen

I was just e-mailing my girlfriend.

Virgil Incanto

Your girlfriend?

Ellen

Yes.

Virgil Incanto

What about?

Ellen

Us.

Virgil Incanto

What were you telling her?

Ellen

Just how happy I am... That you're still interested in me... And that you hadn't rejected me like I thought you had.

Virgil Incanto

I'm glad you feel that way, Ellen. I know I do.

Ellen

Look. I still haven't changed my clothes. Why don't you go wait outside, and I'll be right out?

Virgil Incanto

You look beautiful, Ellen. You don't need to change for me.

Ellen

Please leave me alone. Please. What do you want? No!

Jo

Could I help you?

Fox Mulder

We're with the FBI we're looking for Ellen kaminsky.

Jo

She's in her condo. She just e-mailed me a few minutes ago. Why? What's wrong? Is something the matter?

Fox Mulder

Get back in. Ellen?

[ sobbing ]

Dana Scully

Mulder.

[ gasping ]

Dana Scully

You go ahead. I'll stay here. Go.

[ gasping ]

Dana Scully

This is federal agent Dana Scully. I need an ambulance right away to 658 south hudson avenue, apartment number 23. Request special chemical burn unit.

[ cans clanking ]

Fox Mulder

Freeze! Federal agent! Now put your hands up and step out where I can see you.

Young Black Man

Just-- just don't shoot me, man.

Scene 26

Scene 26

[ groans, gasping ]

[ grunts ]

[ gunshot ]

Fox Mulder

Jennifer flackett, kathy miller, hillary turk. Forty-seven women reported missing in five states. At least give their families some peace of mind... And tell us how many are on that list because of you.

Virgil Incanto

They're all mine.

Fox Mulder

Come on, Scully. Open the door.

[ door buzzes ]

Dana Scully

Why?

Virgil Incanto

When you look at me, you see a monster. But I was just feeding a hunger.

Dana Scully

You're more than a monster. You didn't just feed on their bodies, you fed on their minds.

Virgil Incanto

My weakness was no greater than theirs. I gave them what they wanted. They gave me what I needed.

Dana Scully

Not anymore.

[ speaking italian ]

Virgil Incanto

The dead are no longer lonely.

Dana Scully

Let me out.
