PITTSBURGH, PA
[ siren wailing ]
Hospital Dispatch
Copy. E.t.a. In 12. Crash unit standing by.
Michelle Wilkes
How's he looking, Leonard?
Leonard Betts
[ monitor beeping ] up to his ass in alligators.
[ beeping erratically ] [ man gasping ]
Michelle Wilkes
Is he going into arrest?
Leonard Betts
No, he's not.
[ gasping continues ]
[ air hisses ]
Michelle Wilkes
What did you do?
Leonard Betts
Aspirated his chest. He has a tension pneumothorax pressing on his heart. It just looked like a cardiac.
Michelle Wilkes
Nice catch. How did you know?
Leonard Betts
Because he's dying of cancer. It's already eaten through one lung.
Michelle Wilkes
That's amazing. How did you know, Leonard?
[ moaning ]
Michelle Wilkes
Leonard? Leonard? Leonard?
[ gasps ]
Michelle Wilkes
Oh, god. Leonard.

Hello? [ thump ]
Scene 03
MONGHEHELA GENERAL HOSPITAL
Fox Mulder
Pretty cozy. Who'd ever want to leave?
Dana Scully
Well, whoever happened to get locked in here last night, I guess.
Fox Mulder
Well, that would be one Leonard morris Betts, age 34. But it should probably be noted that when mr. Betts arrived here last night, he was sans head. He was decapitated when his ambulance crashed. He was an emergency medical technician for this Hospital. A very good one, apparently. A slew of commendations. Write-ups in the local paper.
Dana Scully
What about the Morgue Attendant?
Fox Mulder
Somebody coldcocked him and stole his clothes. He didn't see who. No alarms tripped, no sign of a break-in. It's weird, huh?
Dana Scully
Mulder, what are we doing here?
Fox Mulder
Did I mention that mr. Betts had no head?
Dana Scully
Yes. So? I mean, you're not suggesting that a headless body... Kicked its way out of a latched Morgue freezer? Are you? Because I think it's obvious this is some kind of bizarre attempt at a cover-up.
Fox Mulder
Meant to conceal what?
Dana Scully
My guess would be body snatching for profit. There's a shortage of teaching cadavers at medical schools. An unscrupulous medical supplier might pay top dollar, no questions asked.
Fox Mulder
But why take a headless one and leave top-dollar bodies behind?
Security Guard
Sir? Those video grabs you asked for. We found something. These are from the emergency room camera, taken at 4:13 this morning.
Dana Scully
There's your perpetrator, wearing the stolen uniform.
Fox Mulder
Unfortunately, you can't see very much on these. What's-- what's all this stuff here?
Security Guard
Bad video. The Security system isn't exactly state-of-the-art.
Fox Mulder
If this is our guy, what did he do with the corpse he stole?
Dana Scully
Well, maybe he got spooked and was forced to abandon it.
Fox Mulder
We combed the facility. Where could he hide an adult body where it couldn't be found?
Dana Scully
I'll show you. All hospitals operate some form of medical waste processing. This unit disposes of surgical remains: amputations, excised tumors. They're ground up and heated with microwaves, and the result is a sterile soot that's used as road fill.
Fox Mulder
Well, then there's probably nothing there for us to find.
Dana Scully
That depends how often they dispose of their waste. Hopefully, only once every few days. We're in luck.
Fox Mulder
Are you sure about this, Scully? 'cause if you're not sure, I don't see... That there's any reason to disturb all this stuff just--
[ squishing sound ]
Dana Scully
Mulder, I'm gonna need your help. Your arms are longer.
Fox Mulder
Oh. I think I got the toy surprise.
Dana Scully
Leonard Betts.
Fox Mulder
That's his head. Where's his body? There's not enough room in here. Maybe he didn't dispose of the body. Maybe he got it out of here somehow.
Dana Scully
Well, why'd he take the time to dispose of the head?
Fox Mulder
I don't know. Maybe there's an answer here. Something you should check out.
Dana Scully
We already know how he died, in an automobile accident. What more is there to know?
Fox Mulder
Maybe nothing, but it's all we got to go on right now. You should see if you can find a place where you can examine Betts' head.
Dana Scully
While you do what?
Fox Mulder
Check out his house. We know how he died. I want to see how he lives.
Dana Scully
Lived.
Fox Mulder
Lived.
Scene 04
EXAMINATION ROOM
Dana Scully
Case number 226-897. Leonard Betts. As remains are incomplete, all observations refer to a decapitated head. Weight, 10.9 pounds. Remains show no signs of rigor mortis or fixed lividity. Nor do the corneas appear clouded, which would seem inconsistent with the witnessed time of death, now... 19 hours ago. I'll begin with the intermastoid incision and frontal craniotomy, then make my examination of the brain. Oh! God!
Scene 05
INTERIOR OF BETTS' APARTMENT
Landlord
Which one?
Fox Mulder
This one here.
[ keys jingling ]
Fox Mulder
Thanks. I'll lock up.
Landlord
Okay.
[ phone ringing ]
Fox Mulder
Mulder.
Dana Scully
It's me. Uh, I've run into kind of a unique situation here.
Fox Mulder
What'd you find?
Dana Scully
So far, not much. I did a pet scan on Leonard Betts' remains. Actually four times now. And each time the images come out degraded, uh, like it's fogged somehow.
Fox Mulder
Like the Security footage.
Dana Scully
Well, this is cutting-edge technology here, Mulder. The technicians say the machine is working perfectly. They also say that the only thing that could account for this kind of image distortion... Is some form of radiation. But I don't see how or where it could be emanating from.
Fox Mulder
What did your examination uncover?
Dana Scully
Well, I-- I haven't exactly performed an examination yet.
Fox Mulder
Why not?
Dana Scully
Well, because I, uh-- I experienced an unusual degree of postmortem galvanic response.
Fox Mulder
The head moved.
Dana Scully
It blinked at me. I mean, I know exactly what it is. It's residual electrical activity stored chemically in-- in the dead cells.
Fox Mulder
Blinked or winked? [ sighs ] you're afraid to cut into it. Scully, you're not saying that-- that-- that it's alive, are you?
Dana Scully
No. I am certainly not saying that at all.
Fox Mulder
But has it crossed your mind that it's not quite dead, either?
Dana Scully
What do you mean?
Fox Mulder
I'm standing here in Leonard Betts' apartment. Whoever we saw in those video grabs, his clothes are strewn all over the floor. Made himself at home. Maybe he was home.
Dana Scully
Leonard Betts.
Fox Mulder
Yeah.
Dana Scully
Without his head.
Fox Mulder
Yeah.
Dana Scully
Mulder, I don't even know how to respond to that.
Fox Mulder
I'm gonna call the p.d. And have them put the building under surveillance... Just in case whoever it is comes back. I'll be in touch.
Scene 06
EXTERIOR OF HOSPITAL
Fox Mulder
Michele? Michele Wilkes?
Michelle Wilkes
Yes?
Fox Mulder
I'm Fox Mulder. I'm with the FBI you're the person who's responsible for the disposition of Leonard Betts' remains.
Michelle Wilkes
He didn't have any family. No friends either, as far as I could tell.
Fox Mulder
Except you.
Michelle Wilkes
I liked him. But I wasn't really his friend. He didn't let people get that close. I'm not sure I could even call myself his Partner. Mostly I just stayed out of his way.
Fox Mulder
What do you mean?
Michelle Wilkes
Leonard was an amazing medical technician. He could diagnose illness better than any doctor I've ever seen. You know how they say some people can just look at you and tell you what's wrong?
Fox Mulder
Mm-hmm.
Michelle Wilkes
Leonard could do that. Especially with cancer. I told him he should have been an oncologist. He used to volunteer weekends at the cancer ward. Read to patients, stuff like that.
Fox Mulder
Did you ever notice anything about him? Anything odd?
Michelle Wilkes
No. Well, he never got sick. That was pretty amazing, doing what we do. He was the picture of health.
Fox Mulder
Was he ever injured on the job?
Michelle Wilkes
No. Never. I mean, until--
Fox Mulder
Oh, yeah.
Michelle Wilkes
I'm sorry. I-I don't know what all this has to do with someone stealing Leonard's body. I mean, it almost sounds like you're investigating Leonard.
Fox Mulder
No, no. Thanks for bearing with my questions. I appreciate your time.
Scene 07
HOSPITAL LAB
Dana Scully
This procedure is called biopolymerization. It's basically a high-tech mummification process. The remains are dipped in the epoxy, and once it's cured, the specimen can be sliced for examination.
Fox Mulder
Or you got yourself a nice paperweight.
Dana Scully
At any rate, we should have some autopsy answers for you soon.
Pathologist
I'm starting with an anterior slice from your mr. Betts, one favoring the frontal lobe. Well, this is certainly strange.
Dana Scully
What?
Fox Mulder
There's something wrong with the image?
Pathologist
In a manner of speaking. Here, see for yourself.
Dana Scully
Oh, my god. His entire brain looks like one giant glioma.
Fox Mulder
He had cancer?
Dana Scully
He was riddled with it. Every cell in the sample. Every cell, essentially, in his entire head and in his brain was-- was all cancerous-- it's completely pervasive.
Fox Mulder
Could you live in this condition?
Pathologist
Live? This man would have been long dead before reaching such an extreme metastatic stage.
Fox Mulder
How do you explain it?
Pathologist
Maybe the polymerization process distorted the sample somehow. Maybe we're not really seeing what we think we're seeing.
Fox Mulder
Mmm. Maybe we're just seeing it clearly for the first time.
Dana Scully
What are you suggesting?
Fox Mulder
Let's get a slice to go.
Scene 08
AMBULANCE
Paramedic (radio)
Monongahela, 1-3-6 en route with a male not responding to c.p.r. Please advise. Dispatch, somebody pick up, please.
Leonard Betts (radio)
Allegheny catholic, 2-0-8. I know you're up to your ass in alligators, but your patient may be in anaphylactic shock.
Michelle'S Partner
Michele?
Michelle Wilkes
Leonard?
Leonard Betts (radio)
Confirm and treat with point three milligrams... Epinephrine autoinjector.
Michelle'S Partner
Let's go here. Michele! Come on!
Paramedic (radio)
Hey, that seems to be working. Good call, 208. Thanks for the tip.
Leonard Betts (radio)
No problem. Glad I could help.
Scene 09
DR. CHARLES BURKS' LAB
Chuck Burks
Oh, wow. I've never worked with a sample of human tissue before. What exactly were you looking to find?
Fox Mulder
I'll tell you if we find it.
Chuck Burks
Excellent.
Dana Scully
Are you ever asked to defend this as a legitimate scientific process, dr. Burks?
Chuck Burks
Only if you're not happy with the results.
Fox Mulder
Chuck did some of the pioneering work in kirlian photography in the u.s.
Chuck Burks
Although I prefer the umbrella term "aura photography." basically, by applying high-frequency electricity, I am able to photograph an organism's coronal discharge.
Dana Scully
Coronal discharge?
Fox Mulder
Coronal discharge. Life force. The chinese call it chi. It's an accepted fact in most eastern cultures.
Dana Scully
And the theoretical basis of holistic medicine, of acupuncture. But what is its application here?
Fox Mulder
It may account for the fogging of your pet scan of Leonard Betts' head.
Chuck Burks
You know, with this equipment, I have been able to capture phantom images... Of whole leaves that were cut in half, or the vestigial image of a lizard's tail long after it's been cut off. Which you have to admit is pretty cool. It looks like we got somethin' here. Oh, yeah. Now, I don't know exactly what you're looking for, but-- oh, yeah. There's definitely some kind of energy happenin' here.
Fox Mulder
Chuck, would you believe that this man's head had been decapitated?
Chuck Burks
[ laughs ] oh, come on. No way.
Fox Mulder
Way. Are we happy with the results? I don't know about you, Scully, but those sure as hell look like shoulders to me.
Dana Scully
I don't even know how to explain that photo, or even what it proves.
Fox Mulder
What if it proves that Leonard Betts is alive somehow?
Dana Scully
Mulder!
Fox Mulder
You said that Betts' tissue was riddled with cancer. Now, what is cancer but normal cells growing rapidly out of control, usually caused by some damage to their DNA?
Dana Scully
I don't know where you're going with this.
Fox Mulder
Let me tell you. What if there was a case where the cancer was not caused by damaged DNA? Where the cancer was not a destructive or an aggressive factor, but was rather the normal state of being?
Dana Scully
Even if that were possible, he's been decapitated.
Fox Mulder
What if this man's life force, his chi, whatever you want to call it, somehow retained a blueprint of the actual man himself, guiding rapid growth, not as cancer, but as regeneration.
Dana Scully
You think that Leonard Betts regrew his head?
Fox Mulder
The fluid that I found in Betts' bathtub was povidone-iodine. It's often used by lab researchers on reptiles and amphibians to aid regeneration. We both know that salamanders have grown entirely new limbs-- regenerated.
Dana Scully
Salamanders are one thing, but no mammal possesses that kind of regenerative power. There isn't a creature walking this earth that can regrow its head.
Fox Mulder
Worms. You cut a worm in half, you get two.
Dana Scully
Mulder, they're worms.
Fox Mulder
I'm just saying it's not unheard of in nature, that's all.
Dana Scully
Well, unheard of or not, someone is going to great lengths to dispose of the evidence.
Fox Mulder
Well, maybe Betts is trying to protect his secret.
[ phone rings ]
Dana Scully
Scully. Yeah. Okay. Great. Thanks. Well, apparently Leonard Betts did have some secrets. One of them being that he had an alter ego named albert Tanner.
Fox Mulder
Who?
Dana Scully
I had danny run the fingerprints. Two names came up. The second one was albert Tanner, but unlike Leonard Betts, albert Tanner has a living relative, Elaine Tanner, his mother, who just happens to live here in pittsburgh.
Fox Mulder
Hmm.
Scene 10
TANNER HOUSE
[ doorbell rings ]
Dana Scully
Elaine Tanner?
Elaine Tanner
Yes.
Dana Scully
I'm agent Scully. This is agent Mulder. We're with the FBI
Elaine Tanner
Oh. What can I do for you?
Dana Scully
Is your son albert Tanner? We'd like to ask you some questions.
Elaine Tanner
Please excuse me for one second. I've got something on the stove.
Fox Mulder
Scully.
Dana Scully
Mrs. Tanner, is this your son?
Elaine Tanner
Yes. That's albert.
Dana Scully
We know this man as Leonard morris Betts. Are you familiar with that name?
Elaine Tanner
No.
Fox Mulder
Do you know if your son ever used any other names?
Elaine Tanner
Why are you asking me about him?
Dana Scully
Mrs. Tanner, are you aware that your son has recently died?
Elaine Tanner
What do you mean, "recently"?
Fox Mulder
When did your son die?
Elaine Tanner
Six years ago. He was killed in an automobile accident. Why?
Dana Scully
Would it be possible to get a copy of the death certificate or some form of verification?
Elaine Tanner
Of course.
Fox Mulder
Confused yet?
Dana Scully
Yeah.
Scene 11
ALLEGHENY CATHOLIC HOSPITAL
Michelle Wilkes
Excuse me. I'm-- I'm looking for an e.m.t., the man driving unit 208.
Paramedic 1
The new guy. Yeah. 208's over there. He just went off shift, but you might catch him.
Michelle Wilkes
Thanks.
[ radio Dispatch chatter ]
Michelle Wilkes
Leonard? Leonard? Oh, my god. It can't be. How can it be? Leonard, is it you?
Leonard Betts
Hey, michele. It's okay. It's okay.
[ breathing unevenly ]
Leonard Betts
I just wish you hadn't found me, that's all.
Michelle Wilkes
What are you talking about? Leonard?
Leonard Betts
I'm sorry. [ gasping ] I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Guard
Hey! You there! Hold it!
Security Guard
Come back here!
Guard
Stop where you are! Stay there. You son of a bitch. Ronny? Oh, pick up, man.
Ronnie
Go ahead.
Security Guard
We've got a situation in the parking lot.
Guard
This guy just attacked some woman. She's up at the ambulance parking area. You'd better get a doctor right away.
Scene 12
PARKING LOT
[ cracking sound ]
Guard
I'm gonna check on that guy.
[ radio Dispatch chatter ]
Fox Mulder
Siskel or ebert? What's the story?
Dana Scully
Michele Wilkes was murdered, but we wouldn't know that... If the Security Guard hadn't witnessed it.
Fox Mulder
Why is that?
Dana Scully
I found a spent autoinjector in the grass. She was given a lethal dose of potassium chloride. It's an electrolyte... Found naturally in the body, and a coroner doesn't usually check for it.
Fox Mulder
Betts was here, Scully. She must have discovered that, and then he had to kill her to protect his secret.
Dana Scully
Well, the Security Guard did ID him as her attacker. He worked as an e.m.t., but his coworkers said his name was truelove.
Fox Mulder
Do you know how this man escaped? He tore off his thumb, because he knew he could regrow another one.
Dana Scully
Mulder, it just doesn't work that way.
Fox Mulder
But is it unimaginable? Is Betts' ability to regenerate any greater a leap forward... Than our ancestors' ability to communicate with language or to walk upright?
Dana Scully
But language, evolution-- it's a process of steps, not leaps.
Fox Mulder
Recent evolutionary theory would disagree. What scientists call punctualism or punctual equilibrium, it theorizes that evolutionary advances are cataclysmic, not gradual. That evolution occurs not along a straight graphable line, but in huge fits and starts, and that the unimaginable happens in the gaps-- the gap between what we are and what Leonard Betts has become.
Dana Scully
But what you're describing is someone so radically evolved... That you wouldn't even call him human.
Fox Mulder
Well, on the other hand, how evolved can a man be who drives a dodge dart?
Dana Scully
Oh, my god. "myeloid sarcoma, epithelial carcinoma." these are all cancerous tumors. This is surgical waste that's been tagged for disposal. What do you think he wanted with them?
Fox Mulder
You may not want to know. Scully, there's a great possibility that Leonard Betts not only is cancer--
Dana Scully
But that he needs it for survival? So, you're saying that this is--
Fox Mulder
Snack food. I mean, wouldn't it make sense that-- that evolution, or natural selection, would incorporate cancer, the greatest health threat, as part of our genetic makeup?
Dana Scully
Why do I think that charles darwin is rolling in his grave?
Fox Mulder
Ask yourself, why is Leonard Betts an e.m.t.? Why does he regularly visit cancer wards? Access.
Policeman
The car's registered to one Elaine Tanner, 3108 old bank road.
Dana Scully
Betts' mom.
Fox Mulder
Do you think mom knows... Her dead son is tooling around in her car?
Scene 13
TANNER HOUSE
Dana Scully
Elaine Tanner? We have a warrant to search the premises. Mrs. Tanner, we know that your son is alive and that you're in contact with him. You need to tell us where we can find him. Last night, he murdered a woman in cold blood. By lying to protect him, you are considered an accessory to murder.
Fox Mulder
Can you tell me what you use this for? It's a pretty big bottle. You get a lot of cuts?
Elaine Tanner
When my son was eight years old, there were two boys who picked on him because he was different. He just ignored them. He knew he was better than they were. One day they cornered him walking home, beat him up. He didn't even try to fight back, just lay there, taking the blows. So, I don't believe you when you tell me he killed anyone. But if he did, he had his reasons.
Dana Scully
What reasons, mrs. Tanner?
Elaine Tanner
God put him here for a purpose. God means for him to stay, even if people don't understand. And that's all I've got to say.

Leonard Betts
Excuse me. I'm sorry, but you've got something I need.
Fox Mulder
Excuse me. Scully?
Dana Scully
Find something?
Fox Mulder
No sign of him, not even a stray sock. Just this.
Dana Scully
A receipt for a storage locker.
Fox Mulder
Yeah. The key on his key ring with the number 112 on it.
Dana Scully
Let's check it out. Mm-hmm.
[ grunting ]

Scene 18
HOSPITAL AUTOPSY BAY
Dana Scully
Mr. John gillnitz, death from massive blood loss... Due to what I can only describe as a skillful removal of his left lung.
Fox Mulder
It's Betts.
Dana Scully
Doing what?
Fox Mulder
Guaranteed, Scully. This man's medical records will show he had lung cancer. And Leonard Betts was in need of what he had.
Dana Scully
How would he have known that?
Fox Mulder
His Partner told me he had an exceptional ability to diagnose cancer. Maybe his need provided a heightened sense.
Dana Scully
Well, whatever he was doing, he's taking the secret to his grave.
Fox Mulder
Yeah, for the second time.
Dana Scully
Mulder, Leonard Betts is dead. Of that I am absolutely certain, and he is not coming back.
Fox Mulder
You would have said the same thing about albert Tanner.
Dana Scully
I don't understand.
Fox Mulder
Six years ago albert Tanner dies in a car accident. His mother buries him. Several days ago, the same man shows up as Leonard Betts. Explain that to me.
Dana Scully
Obviously, someone's lying. Maybe the first death was staged.
Fox Mulder
You want to bet on that? Ugh. Will the real Leonard Betts please stand up?
Dana Scully
Mulder, these men may be no more than monozygotic twins.
Fox Mulder
I don't think so, Scully. I think what we're standing witness to here... Goes way beyond the regeneration of a thumb or a limb, or even a new head.
Dana Scully
Mulder, I don't know what you're getting at here. Regeneration of an entire body? I don't know why I'm listening.
Fox Mulder
Because I think that the fiery crash that killed this man was a decoy... And that this man lying here is still at large.
Scene 19
TANNER HOUSE
Elaine Tanner
I'm scared, honey. The FBI-- they seem to know all about you. They dug up the coffin. They found your friend. I don't think they're ever going to leave you alone. And you're weak. You have to restore your strength. You know what you have to do. I'm your mother. And it's a mother's duty to provide.
[ moans ]
Scene 20
ELAINE TANNER RESIDENCE
Dana Scully
If this man really exists, what makes you think he'd come back here?
Fox Mulder
The only person connected with Betts who knows his secret is his mom. If we're gonna get him, it'll be through her.
[ siren wailing ]
[ siren continues ]
Fox Mulder
Get out of the truck!
Dana Scully
Federal agents!
Fox Mulder
Get out of the truck!
Paramedic 1
Whoa! Whoa! What the hell?
Dana Scully
What are you doing here?
Paramedic 2
We got a call. Elderly woman with massive chest trauma and blood loss. 3108 old bank.
Paramedic 1
Believe me, that's all we know!
Dana Scully
Stay here. Mulder, get the e.m.t.s up here!
Fox Mulder
Guys, get in here!
Dana Scully
She has an open wound. A surgical cut.
Fox Mulder
Three guesses what was removed. He did this to her, and then he called an ambulance.
Dana Scully
Judging by the response time, he might still be here.
Fox Mulder
Betts is gone. He must have taken off on foot.
Dana Scully
Well, she's gonna be okay, Mulder. She's not out of the woods, but I think we might be able to get where he went out of her.
Fox Mulder
You stay with her. I'll call local p.d. And have them cordon off the area.
Dana Scully
Okay.
Fox Mulder
This is special agent Mulder with the FBI I've got an emergency situation in progress. I need all available units to 3108 old bank road. I'm searching for a murder suspect.
[ radio Dispatch chatter ]
Scene 21
ER ENTRANCE AT HOSPITAL
Dana Scully
Mulder, it's me. We've got mrs. Tanner going into the e.r., but she took a downturn en route. They defibrillated her to try and get her heart back, but there's no chance of getting anything cogent from her. Not tonight, anyway. What about on your end?
Fox Mulder
We're going house to house here. That's the only thing I can think to do. We've got a chopper coming in, but I'd say Betts has a pretty good chance of getting away. If he steals a car or gets a ride, he could get away for good. I mean he obviously worked this thing out pretty well, Scully, so if there's anything you can get out of mrs. Tanner tonight, anything at all, at this point we don't have much else to go on.
Dana Scully
Mulder, get over here right now.
Fox Mulder
What?
Dana Scully
Get over here right now. Oh!
Leonard Betts
I'm sorry. But you've got something I need.
Scene 22
CAR
[ grunting ]
[ defibrillator turns on ]
Paramedic 1
Oh, my god.
Paramedic 2
Let's get a crash cart.
[ moans softly ]
Fox Mulder
They pronounced Betts ten minutes ago.
Dana Scully
He's dead?
Fox Mulder
As near as anyone can tell. His mom's alive though, mainly due to the fact that Betts dressed her wounds so carefully. She's gonna pull through, at least for the present.
Dana Scully
Cancer.
Fox Mulder
Yeah. Uh... "metastatic rabdomyo sarcoma," to be precise. She was treated for it previously. Got a clean bill of health about three months ago. You did a good job, Scully. You should be proud.
Dana Scully
I want to go home.
