Scene 01

FIRST CHURCH OF REDEMPTION, WAYNESBURG, PENNSYLVANIA

Reverend Findley

God tests our faith... So that we may not take it for granted. I once gave counsel to a little girl. She was very distraught, because her older brother had told her... That moses hadn't really parted the red sea. He said that high winds and strong ocean currents... Had been responsible. In hearing this, the faith of this child had been severely shaken. In order to restore her credence, she had but one question for me. She asked, "reverend, "is there really such a thing as a miracle, "or are the stories in the bible just make-believe? Fairy tales." I assured her that yes, miracles really do happen. Most people today tend to vest themselves in science and cynicism. They expect proof for all that they see. But miracles are wondrous by nature. They need no rationale, no justification. You must witness the miracles of the lord without question.

[ groaning ]

[ murmuring ]

Reverend Findley

My blood flows as a test of your faith. Open your souls to the divine possibilities! It is then and only then... That you will truly understand the awesome powers of the almighty lord!

[ congregants chattering ]

[ sighs ]

[ curtains opening ]

Reverend Findley

Yes?

Simon Gates

I was impressed with your sermon, reverend.

Reverend Findley

Thank you.

Simon Gates

I just want to tell you that... Some of us do believe.

[ chuckles ]

Reverend Findley

I appreciate that. It always does my heart good to know that... I've touched at least one person.

Simon Gates

Oh, I think you have quite an effect on a lot of people. Me, most of all.

[ groans, gasps ]

Reverend Findley

Oh, my god. No!

[ gasping continues ]

[ breathing stops ]

Scene 02

Dana Scully

Consistent with... Rope or fabric burns, strongly suggesting that he was strangled. But there seems to be an awful lot of blood loss here.

Fox Mulder

His parishioners said the reverend finley was bleeding from his hands. Like the wounds of the crucifixion.

Dana Scully

Stigmata?

Fox Mulder

A sign bestowed by god upon the righteous.

Dana Scully

I don't see any wounds here, on his hands or wrists or otherwise.

Fox Mulder

No. I think this is a case of too much faith. And too much sugar.

Dana Scully

What are you doing?

Fox Mulder

It's fake. Just like the others.

Dana Scully

Others?

Fox Mulder

I've been tracking a series of international, religiously-motivated murders. All of the victims have been so-called stigmatics, and all of them have been frauds, like the reverend here.

Dana Scully

According to certain religious lore, at any given time there are 12 stigmatics in the world, representing the 12 apostles.

Fox Mulder

It's a claim that's unsubstantiated, though there have been many pretenders-- eleven have been murdered in the past three years.

Dana Scully

Eleven? Any clue as to the motivation?

Fox Mulder

Either we're dealing with... A psychotic religious fanatic who's hell-bent on exposing these kind of frauds, or a less programmatic psycho who harbors a murderous resentment towards the church. Or maybe it's just a, uh-- a very disgruntled altar boy.

Dana Scully

Well, that narrows down the field.

Fox Mulder

Anyway, it's safe to say this guy carries a grudge. And if I'm right about one thing, the killer is here. And he's looking for victim number 12.

Scene 03

RIDGEWAY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, LOVELAND, OHIO

[ bell ringing ]

Mrs. Tynes

All right, let's sit down.

[ children chattering ]

Mrs. Tynes

I trust everyone studied... His or her flash cards for today's quiz?

Children

Aww!

Mrs. Tynes

All right, let's settle down.

Young Girl

Geek!

[ students laughing ]

Mrs. Tynes

Kevin Kryder? I assume, Kevin, that in the last 24 hours, you've become quite the math wizard.

[ students laughing ]

Mrs. Tynes

Why don't you come on up to the board... And share with us your gift of numbers? Let's try some division. You do know the division sign, don't you, Kevin?

[ laughing ]

Mrs. Tynes

Let's divide 11... Into 170.

Child

That's so easy!

[ scraping, squeaking ]

Various Kids

[ boy ] eww! Blood!

[ frightened chattering ]

Mrs. Tynes

Oh, my god.

Kid

What happened to him? I don't know.

Fox Mulder

Thank you for contacting us so quickly.

Carina Maywald

When I read the FBI's alert, I thought immediately of Kevin.

Dana Scully

You said on the phone that there had been a previous incident?

Carina Maywald

Last year. Kevin arrived at school with bleeding wounds on his hands and feet. Our first concern is always an abusive parent.

Dana Scully

Was that the case?

Carina Maywald

Well, it appeared so. Kevin's father was arrested and we took the boy as a ward of the court. But the state dropped charges for lack of evidence. The mother sued and won custody. Mr. Kryder was institutionalized soon after.

Fox Mulder

Institutionalized for what?

Carina Maywald

When he was released from jail, he locked himself and Kevin in the house. It made all the papers. He was waving a gun at the police, saying he had to protect the boy-- that Kevin was chosen by god.

[ softly ]

Fox Mulder

Can I talk to you for a minute here?

Dana Scully

How's he doing?

Nurse

Fine.

Dana Scully

Hi, Kevin. My name is Dana Scully. Can I talk to you a minute?

Kevin Kryder

Am I going back to the shelter?

Dana Scully

We don't know just yet. Right now, we have to find out what happened. Can you tell me how you got those cuts on your hands?

Kevin Kryder

No.

Dana Scully

No, you can't tell me, or no, you don't know?

Kevin Kryder

You want me to say my dad did it.

Dana Scully

I don't want you to say anything that isn't true.

Kevin Kryder

I don't feel that good.

Dana Scully

He feels a bit feverish. Did you take his temperature?

Nurse

No, I didn't. Open.

Dana Scully

You're a very brave boy, Kevin. You have nothing to be afraid of.

Mrs. Kryder

Where's Kevin? Is he all right?

Carina Maywald

He's doing just fine. The nurse is just changing his bandages.

Mrs. Kryder

Oh, my god. I thought this was all over.

Fox Mulder

Mrs. Kryder? My name is Fox Mulder. I'm with the FBI we're here because we have reason to believe that Kevin may be in some danger.

Mrs. Kryder

In danger from what?

Fox Mulder

As strange as it might sound, someone may be targeting people like Kevin.

Mrs. Kryder

What do you mean, "people like Kevin"?

Fox Mulder

People exhibiting wounds that might be interpreted as having religious significance.

Nurse

[ gasps ] hmm! [ nurse ] what was that?

Dana Scully

I don't know.

Kevin Kryder

I didn't do anything. It just broke!

Mrs. Kryder

Kevin's just a normal kid. He probably just hurt himself out on the playground.

Fox Mulder

I'm sure there's an explanation, mrs. Kryder. But right now, everybody's primary concern should be for Kevin's safety.

Carina Maywald

I'd like to put him back into the shelter until we can sort this out.

Mrs. Kryder

You don't think I did this to Kevin? You think I'm the one who cut his hands?

Carina Maywald

We don't know how he got the cuts, but we'd like some time to evaluate his case.

Mrs. Kryder

I would never hurt my own child. Do you hear me? Now, I have fought a battle over my son before that tore my family apart. And I'm not gonna fight it again.

Carina Maywald

[ sighs ] I love my job.

Fox Mulder

Let's get out of here, Scully.

Dana Scully

The kid's hands were definitely cut, Mulder.

Fox Mulder

They're taking him into custody. We've warned them about his safety. What else we can do?

Dana Scully

Have you determined how his hands were cut?

Fox Mulder

No, not yet. But my guess is that the kid did it to himself. Boy has his father taken away. He hurts himself to relieve his dad of guilt... And to get him back.

Dana Scully

Maybe we should talk to his father.

Fox Mulder

He's in an institution.

Dana Scully

His father said that he needed to be protected. Maybe he knows from whom.

Scene 04

AN INSTITUTION

Mr. Kryder

He's bleeding again, isn't he?

Dana Scully

Yes. How did you know that?

Mr. Kryder

Because the faithful know.

Fox Mulder

Mr. Kryder, the claims you've made for your son may have put him in danger. Do you know that?

Mr. Kryder

The child was in danger long before I made the claims. Since the day he was born, they've been watching him.

Fox Mulder

They?

Mr. Kryder

The forces of darkness. They will come in the form... Of a powerful and respected man.

Fox Mulder

These forces, what do they want?

Mr. Kryder

To claim all souls. You must understand. This is the great war... Between good and evil.

Dana Scully

Armageddon.

Mr. Kryder

[ thunderclap ] god will find someone to stop it. Someone who is strong enough to make the sacrifice.

Fox Mulder

He's chosen you?

Mr. Kryder

I'm merely a messenger.

Fox Mulder

Let's go.

Mr. Kryder

You must come full circle to find the truth.

Fox Mulder

Excuse me?

Dana Scully

Full circle to find the truth? I don't know what that means.

Mr. Kryder

You will.

Scene 05

LINLEY HOME FOR CHILDREN

Kevin Kryder

The two kids are running down this long hallway. But all the doors are locked. There's nowhere to go. Soon, they'll both be toast. They can hear his bloody leg dragging on the floor. Oh! The mutant is on their trail. Hungry for the taste... Of young meat.

Kid

What's it look like? Yeah. What?

Kevin Kryder

Do you really want to know? It looks like the devil. And he's bald, because all his hair has burnt off in hell. And his fingers are like pitchforks... With little barbs on the end, so all he has to do is point at you... And you can't get away. With each step he gets closer. Step by step... By step... By step. He's so close now that even the furniture starts to shake.

Kid

[ child, gasping ] my god!

Kevin Kryder

Step by step... By step... By step.

[ door banging ]

Scene 06

THE SHELTER

[ children gasp, shudder ]

Kid

Let's get out of here!

[ clamoring ]

[ doors slamming, children screaming ]

Fox Mulder

Color hair did he have? Brown or blond, black--

First Kid

He was bald. He didn't have no hair.

Second Kid

'cause it all burned off in hell.

Fox Mulder

How tall was he? Was he about my height? Taller? Shorter?

First Kid

Taller.

Fox Mulder

About 6'2", 6'3"?

First Kid

Yeah. Maybe even bigger. And he was dressed all in black.

Fox Mulder

All right.

Officer

Come on. That's it.

[ chattering ]

Mrs. Kryder

What happened to Kevin? Where is he?

Dana Scully

Kevin was abducted from this room. Several of the children witnessed it. We're getting a description of the man.

Mrs. Kryder

But you were supposed to protect him. You said he would be safe.

Fox Mulder

We're sorry, mrs. Kryder. We're doing everything we can.

[ softly ]

Fox Mulder

Scully?

Dana Scully

Did you get a composite?

Fox Mulder

Yeah, it looks like Kevin was abducted... By homer simpson's evil twin.

Dana Scully

This isn't the killer, Mulder.

Fox Mulder

That's a safe assumption.

Dana Scully

No, I mean it doesn't match the m.o. None of the previous victims were ever abducted.

Fox Mulder

None of the previous victims were ten-year-old boys.

Mrs. Kryder

[ sighs ] is this the man that took Kevin?

Fox Mulder

Yeah, but we're not sure how accurate that is.

Mrs. Kryder

It's owen.

Dana Scully

You know this man?

Mrs. Kryder

Yeah, it's owen Jarvis. When my husband left, we hired him to do yard work.

Scene 07

THE ATTIC AT OWEN JARVIS' RESIDENCE

Owen Jarvis

I carved all the animals myself. It's the ark. Do you like it?

Kevin Kryder

So, when are you going to take me home, owen?

Owen Jarvis

There's no reason to be afraid. I'm not gonna hurt you. I've been watching you, Kevin. You're a very special boy. You know that, don't you?

Kevin Kryder

I want to go home.

Owen Jarvis

You can't do that. I can't let you.

Kevin Kryder

Why not?

Owen Jarvis

Because it's not safe! I'm your friend, Kevin. You have to trust me. Just think of me as... Your guardian angel.

[ car approaching ]

Owen Jarvis

Shh!

[ car getting closer ]

Owen Jarvis

Don't say a word. Stay here. Don't move.

Fox Mulder

Federal agents! Put down your weapon. Put it down, right here. Down! Now! Put it down. Where's the boy? Where's the boy?

Owen Jarvis

Don't hurt him. Please?

[ hatch door banging ]

[ gasping ]

Dana Scully

[ panting ] Kevin?

[ handcuffs clicking ]

Fox Mulder

Where's the boy? What have you done with Kevin?

Owen Jarvis

He can't go home. It's not safe there. I told him that.

Fox Mulder

Is this Kevin Kryder's blood?

Owen Jarvis

Yes.

Fox Mulder

Did you hurt him?

Owen Jarvis

No. I'm not the one that wants to hurt him.

Dana Scully

If it's not you, then who is it?

Owen Jarvis

I was only asked to protect the boy.

Fox Mulder

By who? Who asked you to protect him?

Owen Jarvis

God.

[ scoffing ]

Fox Mulder

It's quite a long distance call, isn't it?

Owen Jarvis

You don't understand. -unless someone protects Kevin-- -

Fox Mulder

It's the end of the world as we know it, right?

Owen Jarvis

"he who has ears, let him hear--"

Fox Mulder

"and he that has a tongue, let him speak." now, tell me where he is.

Owen Jarvis

You believe me, don't you? I mean, you must wear that as a reminder.

Dana Scully

Mr. Jarvis, my religious convictions are hardly the issue here.

Owen Jarvis

Even the killer, he believes.

Fox Mulder

And the townsfolk wonder why I sleep in on sunday.

Owen Jarvis

Mass on christmas. Fish on friday. You think that makes you a good christian? Just because you don't understand sacrifice, because you're unwilling, don't think for a moment that you set the rules for me. I don't question his word. Whatever he asks of me,

[ chair scraping ]

Owen Jarvis

I'll do.

Fox Mulder

[ Mulder ] sit down, mr. Jarvis.

Owen Jarvis

I just want to go to heaven.

Fox Mulder

[ Mulder ] hey!

Dana Scully

[ Scully ] don't!

[ crashing ]

Scene 08

THE KRYDER RESIDENCE

[ handcuffs clicking ]

[ panting, grunting ]

Kevin Kryder

Mom! Mom! You home?

[ doorbell rings ] [ gasps ]

[ doorbell rings ]

[ creaking ]

[ sizzling ]

Simon Gates

Kevin? Kevin? I know you're here, son.

[ hangers rattling ]

[ breathing erratically ]

[ rattling continues ]

Owen Jarvis

Run, Kevin. Run!

[ gasping ]

[ steam hissing ]

Fox Mulder

Kevin. What is it?

Kevin Kryder

[ panting ] upstairs!

Dana Scully

You'll be okay. You'll be okay.

Kevin Kryder

Are you the one that was sent to protect me?

Scene 09

Dana Scully

Owen lee Jarvis. Adult caucasian male. 42 years of age. Cause of death is strangulation, consistent with previous victims, as suggested by burn marks around his neck. Except-- appears to be some kind of a pattern, just to the right of his windpipe. Possibly a handprint. Note to the lab to check further. It is now 14 hours after the time of death. But so far his body hasn't even begun to break down. Rigor mortis has yet to set in. His core body temperature... Remains at 98 degrees. His skin color, lividity, is healthy.

[ doorknob jiggling ]

Dana Scully

There seems to be some--

Fox Mulder

Any revelations?

Dana Scully

Mulder, would you do me a favor? Would you smell mr. Jarvis?

Fox Mulder

[ scoffs ] you want me to smell him? What am I supposed to be smelling?

Dana Scully

Y-you don't detect a faint floral odor? Mulder, this man's body is in no way decomposing normally. In catechism, we learned of instances like this. So-called "incorruptibles" whose bodies wouldn't decay, and who... Emitted a smell of flowers.

Fox Mulder

You're serious?

Dana Scully

Saint cecilia, saint francis--

Fox Mulder

And now you're suggesting that this is "saint owen"?

Dana Scully

I don't know.

Fox Mulder

Scully, those stories you're referring to are mostly regarded as... Hagiographic fabrications, not historical truths. Just like the occurrence of the stigmata.

Dana Scully

What do you think this is?

Fox Mulder

This man? He was rather abnormal in life. Maybe he's decomposing abnormally.

Dana Scully

Isn't a "saint" or a holy person just another term for somebody who's abnormal?

Fox Mulder

Do you really believe that?

Dana Scully

I... Believe in the idea... That god's hand can be witnessed. I believe he can create miracles, yes.

Fox Mulder

Even if science can't explain them?

Dana Scully

Maybe that's just what faith is.

Fox Mulder

Well, I wouldn't let faith overwhelm your judgment here. These people are simply fanatics behaving fanatically, using religion as a justification. They give bona fide paranoiacs like myself a bad name. They're no more divine or holy than that ketchup we saw on the murdered preacher. I think once you're finished your autopsy, you'll come to the same conclusion. Saint owen.

Scene 10

STATE FORENSIC LABORATORY, HAMILTON COUNTY, OHIO

[ doors opening ]

[ door closing ]

[ sighs ]

[ telephones ringing, chattering ]

Dana Scully

Got your message. What did you turn up?

Fox Mulder

It's what you turned up.

Dana Scully

What?

Fox Mulder

Those burn marks and impressions on Jarvis's neck? They pulled a pair of prints. Take a look at this: a partial index and a full oblique burned right onto the skin.

Dana Scully

Any evidence as to how the killer managed to do that?

Fox Mulder

No, not yet. But I Cross-checked the prints in the n.c.I.c. Database. They belong to a businessman named simon Gates. He's the c.e.o. Of a company based in atlanta. He's one of the wealthiest men in the south.

Dana Scully

"a powerful and respected man."

Fox Mulder

He was arrested three years ago on a d.u.I. Left a young boy paralyzed. He received a suspended sentence, then he left the country. Went to Israel.

Dana Scully

Israel?

Fox Mulder

Have you heard of the jerusalem syndrome?

Dana Scully

Yes, when people... Who visit the holy land suffer religious delusions induced by the journey.

Fox Mulder

Yeah, they return home convinced that they are the messiah, moses, the virgin mary-- even the devil himself. If that's what simon Gates believes, he's just as delusional as Michael Kryder, only a lot more dangerous.

Dana Scully

It doesn't explain how he was able to burn his fingerprints into owen Jarvis's flesh.

[ cell phone ringing ]

Fox Mulder

[ single beep ] Mulder. What? Well, how is that possible?

Dana Scully

It's Kevin, isn't it?

Fox Mulder

Hol-hold on. Yeah, a social worker took Kevin out to lunch at 1:00. But witnesses claim they saw him outside the facility... With his mother at the exact same time.

Scene 11

BESIDE A ROAD IN A RURAL LOCATION

[ horn honking ]

Mrs. Kryder

Kevin! Lay off the horn.

[ scoffs ]

Mrs. Kryder

Damn!

[ sniffs ]

[ brakes squeaking ]

[ car door opening ]

Simon Gates

Looks like you're having a little trouble. Can I give you a hand?

Mrs. Kryder

Oh, no. It's fine. Does this all the time. I just have to wait for it to cool down.

Simon Gates

At least let me take the cap off for you. That should get things started.

Mrs. Kryder

No. I'm fine.

Simon Gates

Really, it's no trouble at all. In the old days, people used to stop to help. Now they just drive on by. People also used to say thank you.

Mrs. Kryder

What do you want?

Simon Gates

I think you know.

Kevin Kryder

Hey, mister!

Mrs. Kryder

Kevin! Run!

[ grunts ]

Mrs. Kryder

No!

Kevin Kryder

Hey, mom! Get up. Please, mom, come on!

[ moaning ]

Kevin Kryder

Mom?

[ groaning ]

[ breathing heavily ]

[ tires squealing ]

Kevin Kryder

Mom, are you okay? Come on, mom! Don't fall asleep! Come on, wake up! Come on!

[ tires squealing ]

[ sirens wailing, chattering on police radio ]

Kevin Kryder

She died because of me.

Dana Scully

It was an accident, Kevin. Your mother was only trying to protect you.

Kevin Kryder

Why does he want to hurt me?

Dana Scully

I don't know. But I won't let him hurt you. I promise.

Kevin Kryder

It's because I'm different, isn't it? Why can't I just be like everybody else?

Dana Scully

How are you different, Kevin? [ sighs ] Kevin?

Kevin Kryder

I just am.

Dana Scully

Agent Mulder and I are gonna take you back to the shelter. There'll be a doctor to take a look at you there.

Kevin Kryder

Do I have to go back there?

Dana Scully

No. Uh-- no, you don't. Why don't you tuck back inside?

Fox Mulder

Is he ready to go?

Dana Scully

I want to keep him with us, Mulder, until Gates is apprehended. Look, I know about getting personally involved, and I'm not.

[ softly ]

Fox Mulder

Did he ID Gates?

Dana Scully

Yes.

Fox Mulder

That'll help. A man fitting Gates's description rented the car. Under the name "forau." that's one of the devil's disciples.

[ chattering on police radios continues ]

Scene 12

THE WESTWARD INN

[ water running, stopping ]

Dana Scully

[ gasps ] I'll wait right outside.

[ door closes ]

Fox Mulder

You never draw my bath.

Dana Scully

Kevin has a cut under his ribs.

Fox Mulder

He was in an accident.

Dana Scully

No. I-- I was with the paramedics when they were looking at him. It wasn't there.

Fox Mulder

Maybe you missed it.

Dana Scully

No, Mulder. I was paying close attention.

Fox Mulder

What do you think it is?

Dana Scully

Yesterday, I saw Kevin's hands. They were bleeding from identical wounds on the top as on the bottom. Just like in the crucifixion.

Fox Mulder

Scully--

Dana Scully

There have been other signs. I haven't said anything until now, because I haven't been sure-- and I'm still not sure.

Fox Mulder

Sure of what, exactly?

Dana Scully

How Kevin was able to be in two places at once. Just like saint ignatius was able to do in the bible.

Fox Mulder

[ scoffing ] that was in the bible. That's a parable. It's a metaphor for the truth, not the truth itself. Why didn't Kevin conveniently bilocate when owen Jarvis abducted him from the shelter?

Dana Scully

How is it that you're able to go out on a limb whenever you see a light in the sky, but you're unwilling to accept the possibility of a miracle... Even when it's right in front of you?

Fox Mulder

I wait for a miracle every day. What I've seen here has tested my patience, not my faith.

Dana Scully

Well, what about what I've seen?

[ window opening ]

Dana Scully

Kevin?

[ knocking ]

Dana Scully

You okay? I didn't lock it.

Fox Mulder

I'll call the police.

Scene 13

OUTSIDE THE MOTEL WINDOW

Fox Mulder

They put up a cordon in a ten-mile radius. No sign of them.

[ traffic passing ]

Fox Mulder

Best I can figure is, they must have had an acetylene torch in the back of the truck. I don't know how else they could have done it.

Dana Scully

I wasn't out of that room for more than two minutes, Mulder. Come on. There's someone I want to talk to again.

Fox Mulder

Who?

Dana Scully

Kevin's father.

Fox Mulder

Why?

Dana Scully

He knew that Kevin was in danger. He warned about a "powerful and respected man."

Fox Mulder

The man's a nutcase, Scully.

Dana Scully

Maybe he is--

Fox Mulder

But if Kevin is in immediate danger-- even if his father has anything to say about Gates-- it doesn't help us right now.

Dana Scully

Well, it's not doing us a lot of good standing around here.

[ chattering on police radio ]

Scene 14

THE INSTITUTION

Mr. Kryder

So, this is the man who took my son.

Dana Scully

You've never seen him before?

Mr. Kryder

No. Why would anyone want to hurt Kevin? What does he want?

Dana Scully

You really don't know?

Mr. Kryder

I-I'm-I'm sorry. I'm just a little foggy right now.

Fox Mulder

Scully?

Dana Scully

Haloperidol. It's a powerful antipsychotic.

[ slams down book ]

Dana Scully

They've increased his dosage. Mr. Kryder? You said something before... About "coming full circle to find the truth." what does it mean? "full circle to find the truth."

Mr. Kryder

I don't know. I just can't remember.

[ cell phone ringing ]

[ exasperated sigh ]

Fox Mulder

Scully. They had a sighting of Gates. He tried to rent another car at the airport, under the name "forau" again. Did you hear what I said?

Dana Scully

Mulder, look. Arrows that form a circle. "full circle to find the truth." Gates's company owns a recycling plant near here. That's where he's taken Kevin.

Fox Mulder

Scully, the man is at the airport. If he hasn't already killed Kevin, he's trying to get as far away as he can.

Dana Scully

I don't think so, Mulder.

Fox Mulder

You think it's you, don't you? You think you're the one who's been chosen to protect Kevin.

Dana Scully

I don't know. Look, if I'm wrong, I'll meet you out at the airport, okay?

Scene 15

21ST CENTURY RECYCLING PLANT

Simon Gates

The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon will turn to blood, because of you, son.

Kevin Kryder

Is that why you want to hurt me?

Simon Gates

It's not a question of wanting. You have to die, Kevin. For everyone. For the new age to come. You understand that, don't you? The others were all false prophets. You are the only... True one... Among the 12.

[ footsteps ]

Dana Scully

Stop! Federal agent! I'm armed! Let him go. Let him go... And we'll talk about it.

Simon Gates

There's nothing to talk about! I was called upon!

Kevin Kryder

No! Let me go! Let me go! Let me go!

Dana Scully

No! Kevin. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on.

[ grunting, whimpering ]

Dana Scully

Oh!

Kevin Kryder

I knew you'd come.

Scene 16

THE SHELTER, TWO DAYS LATER

Dana Scully

You all set?

Kevin Kryder

Thanks.

Dana Scully

Maybe I'll see you again sometime.

Kevin Kryder

You will.

Carina Maywald

You all ready, Kevin?

Kevin Kryder

Yeah.

[ door opens, closes ]

Fox Mulder

You okay?

Dana Scully

Yeah, I think so.

Fox Mulder

We got a couple hours before our flight. I told the sheriff... We'd go down and make a formal statement about Gates's death.

Dana Scully

[ sighs ] I'd appreciate it if you'd handle that alone, Mulder. I have an errand I need to run.

Fox Mulder

Okay.

Dana Scully

I'll see you at the airport.

Scene 17

A CONFESSION BOOTH

Dana Scully

Bless me, father, for I have sinned. It has been six years since my last confession, and... Since then, I've drifted away from the church. I'm not sure why, exactly.

Priest

Have you come to confess?

Dana Scully

No, um-- there's a man that I work with. A friend. And usually, I'm able to discuss these things with him. But not this. Father, do you believe in miracles?

Priest

Of course. I see them every day. The rising sun, the birth of a child--

Dana Scully

No, I'm-- I'm talking about events that defy explanation. Things that... I believe helped me to save a young boy's life. But now I wonder if I saw them at all. If I didn't just imagine them.

Priest

Why do you doubt yourself?

Dana Scully

Because my partner didn't see them. He didn't-- he didn't believe them. And usually, he-- [ sighs ] he believes without question.

Priest

Maybe they weren't meant for him to see. Maybe they were only meant for you.

Dana Scully

Is that possible?

Priest

With the lord, anything is possible. Perhaps you saw these things because you needed to.

Dana Scully

To find my way back?

Priest

Sometimes we must come full circle to find the truth. Why does that surprise you?

Dana Scully

Mostly, it just makes me afraid.

Priest

Afraid?

Dana Scully
