Scene 01

Boom

I remember me and him all the way back to kindergarten. He was, uh-- I don't know. He was like a brother or something. And we had some good times. Good times that I'll never forget and junk like that. And like now, we all got to stick together and protect each other, 'cause that's what bruno would have wanted. 'cause they say the cult is gonna come try and get more of us, and... We can't let that happen. So we gotta kick some butt. We gotta kick some butt, like I'm sure bruno's doing in heaven right now.

[ sobbing ]

Boom

I really don't know what to say.

Terri Roberts

Here he is. Boom?

[ sobs ]

Terri Roberts

Boom? You okay?

Boom

Yeah.

Margi Kleinjan

That was beautiful.

Boom

Yep.

Terri Roberts

So did you hear who the cult is supposed to be coming after next?

Margi Kleinjan

A blond virgin.

Boom

Come on. I'll give you guys a ride home.

Terri Roberts

Your mom is always saying, "wait until you're married. Don't give it away."

Margi Kleinjan

Yeah, and then some cult member wants to kidnap you... And sacrifice you because you are a virgin. God. I mean, how do they even know if you really are a virgin?

Terri Roberts

I don't know. I don't even want to think about it.

Margi Kleinjan

You're not a virgin, are you, boom?

Boom

Uh, no.

Terri Roberts

You know, maybe if we weren't virgins, we wouldn't be so scared.

Scene 02

Policeman

Over here!

Police Officer

Hey! He found something.

Policewoman

Oh, god. Is he dead?

Policeman

Yeah, looks like he hung himself.

Margi Kleinjan

He loves me.

Terri Roberts

He loves me not.

Margi Kleinjan

He loves me.

Terri Roberts

He loves me not.

Margi Kleinjan

He loves me.

Terri Roberts

He loves me not.

Margi Kleinjan

He loves me.

Terri Roberts

He loves me not.

Margi Kleinjan

He loves me.

[ grunts ]

Terri Roberts

Not!

Scene 03

Dana Scully

The map says to turn right at the intersection.

Fox Mulder

The detective who contacted me told me to turn left.

Dana Scully

At the intersection?

Fox Mulder

At the stoplight.

Dana Scully

This isn't a stoplight. It's a stop sign.

Fox Mulder

I'm sure she meant stop sign.

Dana Scully

Turn right.

Scene 04

Minister

What more can I say about the loss of a young man like jay de boom... That the sadness in each of our own hearts does not express more poignantly? A few people have asked if they might come up... And share some of their own personal remembrances of jay. I'd like to invite them to come forward at this time and share some of those thoughts.

Detective White

His friends called him boom. Quarterback of the football team. He was well liked, a leader. He was looking forward to college... Until he was found hanged in the woods two days ago. It's the third death of a high school boy in as many months.

Fox Mulder

In your fax you said there were strong suspicions of a satanic cult at work.

Detective White

That's the popular opinion around here. Wildly popular actually.

Dana Scully

Based on what evidence?

Detective White

Various eyewitness accounts of satanic rituals being conducted.

Speaker

I remember me and boom back to kindergarten. He was-- I don't know-- like a brother or something.

Dana Scully

You have physical evidence of these rituals being conducted?

Detective White

No. No, just the murder victims.

Dana Scully

So you have nothing concrete to connect these things to satanists?

Fox Mulder

If you detect a hint of skepticism or incredulity in agent Scully's voice, it's because of the overwhelming evidence gathered by the FBI... Debunking virtually all claims of ritual abuse by satanic cults.

[ inhales ]

Detective White

Is that true?

Fox Mulder

Don't ask me.

Dana Scully

Our research has proven that most of these accounts are false or imagined. The trauma or mental illness that is often linked to satanic cults... Is the result of denial, hysteria and misplaced blame.

Detective White

You're going to have a hard time convincing the locals of that, especially after hearing the stories of the two girls that were there the night boom died.

Dana Scully

Who interviewed them?

Detective White

I did.

Dana Scully

Together or separate?

Detective White

Together. Why?

Dana Scully

Then you have no way of determining whether or not their stories are fabricated.

Detective White

No, no, these are good kids we're talking about. Outstanding students-- and the details they gave-- I doubt they could have made them up.

Dana Scully

Let me guess. They told you about a wild beast entering in on a black mass, the drinking of blood, the sacrifice of an infant... Or a blond virgin.

Detective White

Yeah. That's right. Excuse me.

Detective White

Let me in there!

Dana Scully

Where is she going?

Fox Mulder

You don't suppose she's a virgin, do you?

Dana Scully

I doubt she's even a blond.

Detective White

Would you let me by?

Police Officer

You can't go in!

Bob

How long are we going to stand by and watch our children die... While satan's soldiers run free in this city?

Detective White

Bob, this is no time--

Bob

No time? No time?

Detective White

Hey! Hey, hey, bob! This is not the place for this.

Bob

My wife can't sleep at night! My kids say they can feel satan's presence! We got to wake up and take action, people! We got to cast the devil out of our community!

[ screaming ]

Detective White

All right, everybody! Stay calm!

Fox Mulder

Maybe we're just imagining that.

Scene 05

Terri Roberts

My name is Terri Roberts. I go to grover Cleveland alexander high school. I'm a senior with a 3.98 grade point average.

Margi Kleinjan

My name is Margi Kleinjan. I go to grover Cleveland alexander high school. I'm a senior with a 3.75 grade point average. I'm on the cheerleading yell squad with my best friend Terri.

Terri Roberts

I'm on the cheerleading yell squad with my best friend Margi. We plan to go to college together in the fall.

Dana Scully

Yeah. Could you tell me again exactly what happened the night of jay de boom's death?

Terri Roberts

Uh, boom-- jay was giving us a ride home in his truck... When all of a sudden he swerved off the road.

Margi Kleinjan

Like he had been possessed or something. He made us get out of the car and walk to a clearing where... People were wearing black robes and holding black candles. I couldn't see their faces underneath their hoods, but I knew they were up to no good.

Dana Scully

How did you know they were up to no good?

Terri Roberts

They were all standing around this altar, and one of them had a long knife... With a snake's head on the handle with ruby eyes. I thought we were dead because we'd heard they were going to sacrifice a blond virgin.

Margi Kleinjan

But instead they just brought out this little crying baby... And put it on the altar. The man with the knife started saying some kind of prayer.

Terri Roberts

He was chanting, and he was saying stuff about how they were going to sacrifice the baby, because it hadn't been christened yet... And how they were going to bury it in a mass grave on the outskirts of town... And--

Margi Kleinjan (recording)

And--

Scene 06

Margi Kleinjan (recording)

The whole group was chanting and saying things. The man with the knife raised the knife up over the baby, and that's when Terri and I just ran for our lives.

Detective White

The two stories are virtually identical. The one corroborates the other.

Dana Scully

I don't suppose there have been any actual reports of stolen infants... Or of mass graves being uncovered anywhere in town... Or that you found an altar or any other evidence of a black mass?

Detective White

No. No, in fact, we haven't.

Dana Scully

The problem is that the details of these accounts... Could have been taken from any newspaper or magazine. As horrific as they sound the stories that these girls told are common, even cliche.

Fox Mulder

If you detect a hint of impatience in agent Scully's voice, that's because the FBI's study also found that in most cases, like the mcmartin preschool trial, witnesses were prompted in their statements by rumors or stories that were being circulated, and there was nothing to support them.

Detective White

How do you explain the burning coffin?

Fox Mulder

Don't ask me.

Scene 07

[ woman sighs ]

Dana Scully

There have been incidents where the embalming fluid used to preserve the body... Have caused chemical reactions and produced heat and burning. I see nothing here that would suggest otherwise.

Detective White

What is that?

Dana Scully

What's what?

Detective White

That pattern on his chest.

Fox Mulder

Yeah, I see it. It looks like a... Goat. Some kind of horned beast.

Dana Scully

A horned beast?

Fox Mulder

Yeah. Right here... In a circle.

Dana Scully

I think you guys are seeing something that isn't there.

Detective White

No, no, right here. Look. You see that the horns are right there.

Dana Scully

No, I don't see the horns right there.

Detective White

I assume you'll call me if you need me for anything further.

Fox Mulder

If it's no bother-- if it's not too big a deal, maybe you can get me a few photographs of that thing... Which bears absolutely no resemblance to a horned beast.

Dana Scully

Sure. Fine. Whatever.

Scene 08

Fox Mulder

Oh, hi.

Detective White

Uh, hi. What are you doing with my cat?

Fox Mulder

He was scratching to get in. I thought with the threat of satanic animal sacrifices looming, maybe you should keep him inside.

Detective White

I thought the FBI's research would have debunked that theory.

Fox Mulder

First off, I'd like to apologize for my partner's rude behavior. She tends to be rather rigid, but rigid in a wonderful way, not like she was today. Personally, I like to try to keep a more open mind.

Detective White

So, what are you doing at my house?

Fox Mulder

I was hoping you could help me solve the mystery of the horny beast.

Scene 09

Zirinka

Let me make sure I heard you right. You say you see horns.

Fox Mulder

You don't see a goat here? Some kind of beast?

Zirinka

This is a trick, right? To try and entrap me?

Detective White

Nobody's trying to entrap you.

Zirinka

Yeah, right. There are a lot of loonies running around this town that'd like to think I'm a satanist. But the truth is, I'm just a number cruncher, trying to make an honest living.

Fox Mulder

What do you think is going on?

Zirinka

I think the whole town's lost its marbles. I should have been the first to see it coming, but it's hard being a small business owner. You should see the paperwork.

Fox Mulder

What do you mean, "seen it coming"?

Zirinka

We're heading into a rare planetary alignment... Where mercury, mars and uranus are extreme influences.

Fox Mulder

On what?

Zirinka

Office hours are 9:00 to 5:00. All major credit cards accepted.

Scene 10

Basketball Coach

All right. Move back. To your zones. Clear!

[ whistle blows ]

Basketball Coach

Shoot that ball! Shoot that ball! Let's shoot!

Terri Roberts

Craig wilmore.

Margi Kleinjan

Hate him, roger.

Terri Roberts

Points though for improved dermatology, gene.

Basketball Player

Hey! Man!

[ whistle blows ]

Basketball Player

Come on!

Margi Kleinjan

Can it be true that these people will soon be adults bringing new life into this world?

Terri Roberts

I'm so depressed. Hi, scott.

[ whistle blows ]

[ man shouts ]

Terri Roberts

Scott simmons. Babe-alicious in overtime, gene.

Margi Kleinjan

Minus the brenda appendage.

Terri Roberts

Hate her.

Margi Kleinjan

Hate her. Wouldn't want to date her.

[ whistle blows ]

[ screaming ]

Boy

Hey. Sorry.

Terri Roberts

Hate him!

Margi Kleinjan

Hate him. Wouldn't want to date him.

Scene 11

[ whistle blows ]

Eric Fowler

I'll get it.

Basketball Coach

Get the ball! Come on! Come on! Hurry up!

Basketball Player

Hey!

Basketball Coach

[ man ] turn the lights on, will ya?

[ screams ]

Eric Fowler

What's going on? I can't get out! Somebody help me quick! I can't get out of here! Stop it! Someone help me!

Basketball Player

Grab on to it!

[ screaming ]

[ girl crying ]

[ chattering ]

Dana Scully

What happened?

Detective White

Another young man has died.

Fox Mulder

An electrical surge caused a power failure, but somehow activated the motor that retracts the bleachers. He got caught inside.

Police Officer

Detective white, can I see you?

Detective White

Excuse me.

Witness

I could hear him screaming, but--

Dana Scully

You weren't in your motel room.

Fox Mulder

I went to follow up a lead with detective white.

Dana Scully

I see.

Fox Mulder

You see what?

Dana Scully

We've been working together for, what, two years now? We have differing opinions, but I didn't expect you to ditch me.

Fox Mulder

I didn't ditch you.

Dana Scully

Fine. Whatever.

[ machinery whirring ]

Detective White

We got more trouble. A mob has gathered on the south side of town.

Dana Scully

Okay.

Scene 12

Townsman

Hey, bob, we got company.

Detective White

What's going on here, bob?

Bob

George hunsaker's boy got a call from someone who said they knew the location of the mass grave.

Detective White

You're destroying private property. Stop digging.

Bob

Our children are dying!

Detective White

That does not give you the right to come out here and tear up harvey molitch's yard.

Bob

Maybe harvey's got something to hide. We got two kids who are prepared to say he took them on a camping trip... And made them play naked movie star games!

Fox Mulder

That man? Is he always that hysterical?

Detective White

No, bob's our high school principal. I've never heard him say a bad word about anyone.

Dana Scully

This is called rumor panic. It's when an antecedent event links up with a popular satanic cult myth, and it increases the tension in a community. A villain or villains are singled out as the focus... Of the community's confusion and angst about unexplained events-- like the death of the high school boys. There have been at least 20 incidents since 1983 from New York to reno, nevada. Not one of them has turned up a single shred of evidence to support the wild allegations.

A Woman

I found bones!

Bob

She found bones! Bones! Right there! There are bones over there.

Detective White

All right, everybody! Stay back! Stay back, folks.

Woman

They're in the bag.

Fox Mulder

Go ahead.

Dana Scully

No, you go ahead.

Fox Mulder

No, no, no. Be my guest. I know how much you like snapping on the latex.

Bob

They're child's bones!

Fox Mulder

What is that? What is that right there? Is that lettering?

Dana Scully

" r.w.g."

Bob

Dick Godfrey. That bag belongs to dr. Godfrey. He's the baby killer!

Fox Mulder

[ crowd murmuring ] who's dr. Godfrey?

Detective White

He's the town pediatrician.

Scene 13

[ sighs ]

[ dog barking ]

Bob

He's the killer! Come on out, Godfrey!

[ pounding continues ]

Bob

Come on out! We know you're in there! Godfrey! [ pounding continues ] he's home! He's in there! Come on out, you baby killer! [ shouting ]

Scene 14

Detective White

Let me get this straight for the record. You haven't seen the bag in a year, and you sold it at a garage sale?

Dr. Godfrey

To a young girl, one of the Roberts family. They live a few doors down.

Detective White

Why was it filled with bones and buried in a field?

Dr. Godfrey

I have no idea.

Detective White

The people of this town seem to think you do. Would you be willing to take a lie detector test?

Dana Scully

You can go now, dr. Godfrey. I don't think we'll be needing you any further. Your story checked out.

Dr. Godfrey

Thank god.

Dana Scully

The bones turned out to be the skeletal remains not of an infant, but of a beloved 14-year-old lhasa apso, formerly known as mr. Tippy.

Terri Roberts

Mr. Tippy!

Fox Mulder

This may not be any time to mention it, but someone is wearing my favorite perfume.

Dana Scully

Can I have a word with you? This has gone on far enough.

Fox Mulder

What?

Dana Scully

I am not going to be humiliated by you, in front of you... Or by having to bring a teenage girl in, on her birthday of all days, to identify the bones of her dead dog, mr. Tippy. I see no reason to pursue this case any further. Not only that, I find your conduct and comportment in this investigation... Not just alarming, but highly objectionable. What are you doing?

Fox Mulder

Must be detective white.

Dana Scully

If that's the reason we're sticking around, that's your business.

Fox Mulder

What? What are you talking about?

Dana Scully

Detective white.

Fox Mulder

We came down here because of three unexplained deaths. Detective white is just trying to solve them. She could use our help.

Dana Scully

Well, you two seem to have a certain simpatico. I'm going back to Washington in the morning.

Nothing.

Detective White

You've been drinking.

Fox Mulder

Yes, I have, which is funny because I usually-- I normally never-- I don't drink.

Detective White

Oh. You know, I don't feel like going home. Do you mind if I slept here?

Fox Mulder

Actually, I'm sure I could get you another room.

Detective White

Maybe we can solve the mystery of the horny beast.

Fox Mulder

Maybe we should just watch some television. There's a movie on TV. Actually, it's the same movie on every channel.

Weird. I like weird. I feel weird.

I didn't see anything anyway.

When we were here before--

Zirinka

I'm just waiting for authorization.

Fox Mulder

I'm a federal agent.

Zirinka

Last I heard the federal government couldn't pay its bills. [ beeps ] okay, you're good for up to 300 bucks. How can I help you?

Fox Mulder

You said you knew why people were behaving so strangely here.

Zirinka

The same reason my dog's been trying to mate with the barbecue for the last two months.

Fox Mulder

You said it was planetary.

Zirinka

Once every 84 years, mercury, mars and uranus come into conjunction. Only this year, uranus is in the house of aquarius.

Fox Mulder

That's a bad thing?

Zirinka

Bad like an irwin allen movie. Things are going to fall out of the sky. Disaster lies in wait, especially here.

Fox Mulder

Why here?

Zirinka

We're in a geological vortex, a high intensity meridian-- a cosmic "g" spot-- all culminating on january 12 when the planets come into perfect alignment, which would be... Today.

Fox Mulder

Why is this affecting everyone?

Zirinka

Some people more than others. Relationships are going to suck. Significant dates can exaggerate the effects.

Fox Mulder

what if today was my birthday? -

Zirinka

Then I'd say happy birthday. Unless, of course, you were born in 1979, and then I'd call the police. You'd have a jupiter-uranus opposition... Forming what's called a grand square... Where all the planets align into a Cross. All the energy of the cosmos would be focused on you.

You don't have to be alone tonight.

I don't know what you think you're doing, but I suggest you put that gun down, sir, or I'm going to have to arrest you.

Bob

We're not standing around anymore, waiting for answers. We're taking this situation into our own hands.

Dana Scully

You can't go walking down the middle of the street carrying a loaded weapon. It's against the law.

Bob

Not if I'm hunting it's not. Hunting satanists.

Dana Scully

There are no satanists here.

Bob

Then who killed those kids? And who killed all these birds?

Terri Roberts

Somebody help me! I know who the killer is. I know who did it all. All the murders.

Fox Mulder

Come on, Margi. Let's get you out of here.

Margi Kleinjan

She killed him.

Fox Mulder

Who?

Margi Kleinjan

Terri. She killed all of them.

Fox Mulder

She killed all of the high school boys?

Margi Kleinjan

And brenda summerfield.

Fox Mulder

How did she do it?

Terri Roberts

I think she's possessed or something. She killed scott simmons tonight with a garage door spring. I don't know how she does it. I think-- I think she's--

Margi Kleinjan

I think she's evil. She tricked boom into going up on that cliff, and then she pushed him off and laughed about it. Just like she did Eric bauer the other night in the gym.

Terri Roberts

When all the lights went out... And she knew that he was trapped underneath the bleachers, she could hear him screaming, but she wouldn't make it stop.

Dana Scully

Why didn't you stop her, Terri? Why didn't you tell anybody?

Terri Roberts

Because-- because I was afraid of her. Because she was my best friend. Best friends are supposed to stick together, right?

Fox Mulder

I'm at a crime scene, a new one. I think I have a solid lead on these deaths.

Dana Scully

I'm way ahead of you, Mulder. I've got a suspect I want to bring in.

Fox Mulder

Who's that?

Dana Scully

Margi Kleinjan.

Fox Mulder

Hold on a second. [ whispering ] Margi Kleinjan?

Dana Scully

That's right. Her friend gave us a statement.

Fox Mulder

Actually, I'm way ahead of you. I'm with Margi. She gave me a statement implicating her friend.

Dana Scully

Who?

Fox Mulder

Terri.

Dana Scully

Actually, I'm way ahead of you, because I'm with Terri now.

Fox Mulder

You're what?

Dana Scully

I've got your suspect, and you've got mine. Why does that make sense to me at this point?

Fox Mulder

I don't think this has anything to do with any cult. I want to get them both in and get a formal statement and clear this thing up, okay? Scully?

Sure. Fine. Whatever.

Fox Mulder

We are but visitors on this rock, hurtling through time and space at 66,000 Miles an hour, tethered to a burning sphere by an invisible force in an unfathomable universe. This most of us take for granted, while refusing to believe these forces have any more effect on us... Than a butterfly beating its wings halfway around the world. Or that two girls born on the same date at the same time and the same place... Might not find themselves the unfortunate focus of similar unseen forces, converging like the planets themselves into burning pinpoints of cosmic energy, whose absolute gravity would threaten to swallow and consume everything in its path. Or maybe the answer lies even further from our grasp.

Bob

I think it was satan. Yes, sir. Satan it was.
