MULDER'S APARTMENT · WASHINGTON, D.C.

[ crickets chirping ]

[ gasps ]

[ exhales ]

[ wind whistling ]

Excavator

Here. Try this screen.

Fox Mulder

Concentrate on this area over here. Right there.

Dana Scully

Mulder. What's going on?

Fox Mulder

I'm not sure I can explain.

Dana Scully

You called for a forensic excavation at 5:00 a.m. On a sunday?

Scene 02

BOSHER'S RUN PARK · MANASSAS, VIRGINIA

Excavator

Carefully remove all that. Easy.

Dana Scully

Tell me about this dream.

Fox Mulder

I've had flashes of it three nights in a row, and last night it went on long enough to lead me right to her. I need the chest exposed.

Excavator

Yes, sir. It just takes a little time.

[ bird cawing ]

Excavator

Sir? Let us do that. Sir.

Dana Scully

If you destroy evidence, we may never find out what happened here.

Fox Mulder

I know what happened. She was strangled. He used an eight-gauge electrical cord. He took something from the body postmortem-- a trophy, a piece of fabric cut from her clothes in the shape of a heart.

Dana Scully

You got all these details from your dream?

Fox Mulder

No. I know this m.o.

Dana Scully

Whose m.o.?

Fox Mulder

John Lee Roche. He killed 13 eight- to ten-year-old girls. This makes 14.

Scene 03

FBI HEADQUARTERS · WASHINGTON, D.C.

Fox Mulder

It was a difficult case. He was extremely hard to catch. By 1990, ten victims had been found, scattered across the eastern seaboard. The earliest dated back to 1979. Vicap named the case "paper hearts" because of the trophies the killer took. All the victims were abducted from their homes. Reggie purdue brought me onto the case because he thought... I could get inside the killer's head.

Dana Scully

Did you?

Fox Mulder

I concluded that we were probably looking for a salesman, someone who traveled around a lot, who could gain people's confidence, someone ordinary. Turns out Roche was a vacuum cleaner salesman. His job took him all over the northeast. He'd be in someone's home, demonstrating his vacuum cleaner. All the while he'd be checking out their kids. He'd choose a victim and then come back for her months later.

Dana Scully

But it was your profile that caught him. What about the trophies he took, the cloth hearts?

Fox Mulder

We never found them, but we didn't need them to make the case. We had him on 13 counts of murder. He admitted to 13. The polygraph said he was telling the truth, but that always bugged me. I always wanted to find those hearts and count them, see if they really added up to 13. I guess they didn't.

Dana Scully

If nothing else, I think I can at least help explain your dream. I don't think you ever stopped thinking about this case. I believe that you may have solved it in your sleep.

Fox Mulder

So you think that I've somehow had this information about a 14th victim all the time... And I've been processing it unconsciously?

Dana Scully

You said it yourself once. You said that a... A dream is an answer to a question we haven't learned how to ask. You did good work, Mulder. Let's identify this girl so we can put her to rest.

Scene 04

AUTOPSY LAB

[ door opens ]

Dana Scully

I believe her name is addie Sparks. She went missing from her home in king of prussia, pennsylvania, in june of 1975. I contacted the center for missing and exploited children, ran a search through the database.

Fox Mulder

1975's too early.

Dana Scully

I think the match is right. The height is right; the description of the sleeper is right.

Fox Mulder

That would mean Roche started way before we thought he did.

Dana Scully

Mulder, we're gonna have to verify this. Are you up for that?

Scene 05

NORRISTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA

[ children chattering, shouting ]

[ dog barking ]

Dana Scully

Frank Sparks?

Frank Sparks

Can I help you?

Dana Scully

Yes. I'm agent Scully. This is agent Mulder. We're with the federal bureau of investigation. May we speak with you?

Frank Sparks

You've found addie. This was for the tooth fairy. When addie was asleep at night, I'd come and put a quarter in this pocket. Her Mother'd sewn it.

Dana Scully

Where is your wife, sir?

Frank Sparks

She passed away last summer. So you, uh-- you're saying the, uh-- the man that did this is already in prison?

Fox Mulder

Yes, sir, and he won't get out.

Frank Sparks

You do this full-time, telling people... This kind of news?

Dana Scully

No, sir, not full-time.

Fox Mulder

It's not a good job.

Frank Sparks

No. I used to think... That missing was worse than dead because-- you never knew what happened. But now that I know, I'm glad my wife's not here. [ sniffles ] she got luckier. How many more people, uh... Like me... Are you gonna visit today?

Fox Mulder

Sir?

Frank Sparks

Were there other victims you didn't know about?

Fox Mulder

Roche's car. Roche drove a white el camino. I saw it in my dream.

Dana Scully

What are you saying that means?

Fox Mulder

The cloth hearts he collected-- he would have wanted to keep them close to him. For a traveling salesman, that means inside the car, right?

Dana Scully

Maybe. You're saying the hearts might still be in his car?

Fox Mulder

He doesn't have them in prison. His cell is searched regularly. His mail is examined. His car was sold at auction in 1992, put beyond his reach. It's worth a look. We got to find those hearts in order to count them.

Dana Scully

[ sighs ] don't you think the car might have been searched at least once already?

Fox Mulder

Not by me.

Scene 06

HOLLYVILLE, DELAWARE

Man

Here it is. I've been, you know, detailing it. Dropped the bed shell and did the decals, stuff like that.

Dana Scully

Thank you.

Man

Honest-to-god serial killer owned my car? For real?

Dana Scully

I'm helping him detail.

Fox Mulder

Something's wrong here, Scully.

Dana Scully

Maybe it's underneath.

Fox Mulder

Mad hat.

[ trunk opening ]

Fox Mulder

Hey, Scully, the camper shell. The kid said he took the camper shell off. "mad hat." mad hatter. Eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen--

Dana Scully

[ gasps ] addie Sparks. Fifteen, sixteen.

Fox Mulder

He killed two more victims.

[ door buzzing ]

[ ball bouncing ]

Scene 07

LORTON REFORMATORY · LORTON, VIRGINIA

[ buzzing ]

John Lee Roche

Mulder. Long time no see. You got a new partner.

Fox Mulder

Agent Scully.

John Lee Roche

So what's up?

Fox Mulder

We found addie Sparks, John.

John Lee Roche

Congratulations, I guess.

Dana Scully

We also found your cloth hearts, all 16 of them.

John Lee Roche

Huh.

Fox Mulder

Sixteen victims, John. How come you said there were only 13?

John Lee Roche

I don't know. Thirteen sounds more magical, you know?

Fox Mulder

Why don't you tell us about the last two victims.

Dana Scully

You're in here for life. You've got nothing to lose.

John Lee Roche

I got nothin' to gain.

Fox Mulder

You can gain one moment of decency in your life. You can finally let those families put their daughters to rest.

John Lee Roche

I understand you take this very personally, Mulder. How about this? Sink one from there, and I'll tell you. You'd trust a child molester? You bring my hearts and give them back to me, I'll tell you everything you wanna know. Coming out.

[ sniffles ]

[ TV audio, indistinct ]

Scene 08

FBI HEADQUARTERS · WASHINGTON, D.C.

Man

...president nixon and h.r. Haldeman... While transcribing the subpoenaed tape. Woods testified that she erased only about five minutes of the conversation, but the tape contained--

Samantha Mulder

Fox, it's your move.

Man On Tv #1

Under investigation from senator howard baker, h.r. Haldeman reiterated the white house explanation that--

Fox Mulder

Samantha.

Samantha Mulder

Are you gonna move or not? Do we have to watch this?

Man On Tv #1

...accidentally hitting the record button.

Leon Jaworski On Tv

It would be very difficult to reach the conclusion it was an accident.

Fox Mulder

The magician comes on at 9:00.

Samantha Mulder

Mom and dad said I could watch the movie, buttmunch.

Fox Mulder

They're next door at the galbrands'. They left me in charge.

[ loud click ]

Fox Mulder

No.

[ rumbling ]

Fox Mulder

Not again.

[ car engine revs, loud hum ]

Fox Mulder

Samantha, run!

[ Samantha whimpers, pants ]

Samantha Mulder

Fox! Fox!

Fox Mulder

Samantha!

Scene 09

LORTON REFORMATORY · LORTON, VIRGINIA

[ door buzzing ]

[ door closes ]

John Lee Roche

Did you bring me my hearts?

Fox Mulder

Yesterday, you said something about me taking it personally. Why did you say that to me? Where were you in 1973?

John Lee Roche

What, the whole year?

Fox Mulder

November. The 27th of november. Do you know what I'm getting at?

John Lee Roche

I was selling vacuum cleaners in 1973. I made a sales trip to martha's vineyard that year, and... I sold a vacuum cleaner to your dad. He bought it for your mom. I believe it was a, um... Electrovac duchess, or the princess model, and your dad and I talked about it at great length. He-- he had a really hard time choosing.

Fox Mulder

What do you know about my sister?

John Lee Roche

You bring me my hearts, and maybe I'll tell you more.

[ chokes, grunts ]

John Lee Roche

This man-- this man hit me.

Guard

I didn't see it.

[ knocking ]

[ door buzzing ]

Dana Scully

I did.

[ door closes ]

Fox Mulder

He was there, Scully. He was in the house. He took Samantha.

Dana Scully

In your dream, Mulder. It was a dream. Your mind made it up.

Fox Mulder

And a dream is an answer to a question we haven't yet figured out how to ask, something buried in your subconscious. You heard him in there. He knew something. He mentioned being on martha's vineyard.

Dana Scully

Is it a state secret that you lived in martha's vineyard?

Fox Mulder

How would he find out about that?

Dana Scully

Through the prison library. The inmates have access to computers and the internet. I checked. Roche logged on just yesterday.

Fox Mulder

Looking for what?

Dana Scully

The server records don't show, but on the 'net he can find out practically anything about you. He is playing with you. He is committing emotional blackmail, and you are letting him. You walked into that room with your heart on your sleeve. He saw vulnerability, and he took advantage of it. You had a dream, a nightmare, and you had it because of all the emotions that this case is stirring up for you, but... It was nothing but a dream.

Fox Mulder

My last dream came true. Do you believe that my sister Samantha was abducted by aliens? Have you ever believed that? No. So what do you think happened to her?

Dana Scully

What are you saying you believe now?

Fox Mulder

I don't know. I don't know what happened. I don't know what to believe. I just know I have to find out now.

Scene 10

GREENWICH, CONNECTICUT

[ sighs ]

Mrs. Mulder

Fox?

Fox Mulder

Mom. I'm in the basement. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to wake you up. I'm sorry. How're you feeling?

Mrs. Mulder

Good, Fox. I'm fine. What are you doing down here in the middle of the night?

[ paper rustling ]

Fox Mulder

Do you recognize... These fabrics? Either one of them?

Mrs. Mulder

What am I looking at?

Fox Mulder

Just look closely. Do they seem familiar to you?

Mrs. Mulder

Familiar how?

Fox Mulder

Just familiar. Have you seen them before?

Mrs. Mulder

[ sighs ] I don't know what you want me to say. You know my memory isn't as good as it used to be ever since I had the stroke. I just don't know what--

Fox Mulder

It's all right.

Mrs. Mulder

Oh, Fox.

Fox Mulder

Dad never bought you a vacuum cleaner, did he?

Mrs. Mulder

Yeah, a long time ago. I don't use it anymore.

Fox Mulder

Where is it?

Mrs. Mulder

Well, it's here under the stairs in the storage. Fox, what is going on?

Scene 11

FBI HEADQUARTERS · WASHINGTON, D.C.

Fox Mulder

Sir? I've been denied further access to John Lee Roche. I'm told that order comes down from you.

Walter Skinner

Could you tell me why you saw it fit to strike a prisoner in federal custody? Agent Scully didn't report that to me, though she should have. The whole thing was videotaped as per prison policy. I saw it. You're lucky I don't have your ass in a sling!

Fox Mulder

Sir--

Walter Skinner

You've gotten too close to this. You've let this man get to you.

Fox Mulder

I have reason to believe he can tell us what happened to my sister Samantha.

Dana Scully

It is looking possible, sir. John Lee Roche apparently spent most of 1973 in boston. He did take one sales trip to martha's vineyard in october of that year. The timing is right.

Fox Mulder

I need to know. I just need to speak to him one more time.

Walter Skinner

This just makes it even less of a good idea.

Dana Scully

Sir, the fact remains... That we still have two more victims that we need to find and identify. No one has more insight into Roche than Mulder, and this is still Mulder's case.

Walter Skinner

[ sighs ] you tread very lightly. You see that he does.

Scene 12

LORTON REFORMATORY · LORTON, VIRGINIA

John Lee Roche

I'm not talking to you if you're gonna hit me again.

Fox Mulder

No! You don't get to touch 'em. They stay in the bag. Name 'em.

John Lee Roche

Well, I think you know one of them already.

Dana Scully

Prove it.

John Lee Roche

Watergate was on TV. You and your sister... Were sitting in front of it... Playing a board game, uh, with little red and, uh, blue plastic pieces. Anyway, you wanted to watch a TV show, the one with bill bixby. What the heck was the name of that thing?

Fox Mulder

How could you know what I said?

John Lee Roche

I was watching... From the window. I was very careful.

Fox Mulder

If that's true, tell me where my sister is.

John Lee Roche

Pick her out.

Fox Mulder

What?

John Lee Roche

You choose the one that was your sister, and I'll tell you where she is. Hey, come on. It's a 50-50 chance. Either way, I'm giving you a victim. That one. You sure you want that one? No, just kidding. It's-- it's a good choice.

Scene 13

FORKS OF CACAPON, WEST VIRGINIA

Dana Scully

Mulder? Let's get a team out here. Let somebody else do this.

Fox Mulder

Help me, Scully.

[ Scully sighs ]

[ exhales ]

[ sighs ]

Scene 14

AUTOPSY LAB

Dana Scully

Mulder?

Fox Mulder

It's not her, Scully. Am I right? Samantha broke her collarbone when she was six. It was her left collarbone. We had a rope swing in the backyard. It's not broken, is it?

Dana Scully

You're right, Mulder. It's not a match. It's not her.

Fox Mulder

It's somebody, though.

Scene 15

LORTON REFORMATORY · LORTON, VIRGINIA

John Lee Roche

Like I said, it was a 50-50 chance.

Dana Scully

Tell us the name of that girl.

John Lee Roche

It was Karen ann philiponte. She lived in a green rancher in east amherst, new york. Mint grew outside her window. I-- I stood outside her window... Atop sprigs of mint. It smelled wonderful.

Dana Scully

What year?

John Lee Roche

July 1974. I had her Mother on the hook for a electrovac argosy, but at the last minute she said thanks, but no thanks. Oh, well. It's your sister.

Fox Mulder

If that's true, tell me where.

John Lee Roche

You want to know a lot more than that, don't you? You want to know everything, right? The big mystery revealed?

Dana Scully

Drop the mind games.

John Lee Roche

I can't just tell you. I mean, I know you don't believe me yet. You need me to show you. You need me to lead you through it, because... After all these years, anything less than that's not gonna satisfy you, right?

Fox Mulder

You just want to get out of here.

John Lee Roche

You're damn right I do. If only for a day or two. I'm realistic.

[ sniffles ]

John Lee Roche

I mean, more than that, I-- I can't wait to see your face.

Dana Scully

[ Scully whispers ] oh, god. You're gonna see the inside of your cell instead. You're gonna rot there.

[ door buzzes, opens ]

Dana Scully

Are you okay? The last thing we should do is give this man his way on this. If we do, he could string us along forever. I know you appreciate that. There has to be another way to come to the truth.

[ door buzzes, opens ]

[ touch tone dialing ]

[ line ringing ]

Woman

Clerk's office.

Fox Mulder

This is special agent Fox Mulder with the FBI, badge number j-t-t-0-4-7-1-0-1-1-1-1. I need a removal order for a federal prisoner.

Scene 16

SEABOARD AIR FLIGHT #1650 · WASHINGTON TO BOSTON

Mother

Do you see any houses?

Caitlin Ross

Yeah, lots of them.

Mother

Yeah?

John Lee Roche

Can I use the lavatory?

Fox Mulder

Keep your hands in your lap.

Stewardess

[ woman, girl chattering ] something to drink?

Fox Mulder

Excuse me.

John Lee Roche

First flight?

Young Mother

Yeah.

John Lee Roche

She's really excited. You having fun?

Caitlin Ross

Mm-hmm.

John Lee Roche

What's your name?

Caitlin Ross

Caitlin.

Walter Skinner

What the hell do you mean he checked out Roche?

Scene 17

FBI HEADQUARTERS · WASHINGTON, D.C.

Dana Scully

Agent Mulder convinced the judge that it was an emergency situation.

Walter Skinner

And where were you?

Dana Scully

I had left agent Mulder for the day. I suggested that he get some sleep. I have a clear idea of where he might have gone, and I can catch up with him.

Walter Skinner

I'll be the one to catch up with him. Where's he headed?

Dana Scully

Martha's vineyard. I would hope that you'd appreciate the uniqueness of this situation... And its effect on agent Mulder.

Walter Skinner

I fully understand the effect it has on him. That was the sum and total of my last words to you on the subject. You let me down. Let's clean up this mess before it gets completely out of hand.

Scene 18

MARTHA'S VINEYARD, MASSACHUSETTS

[ door closes ]

John Lee Roche

No one home? I sat on this couch. You know, your dad bought the vacuum. You ready?

Fox Mulder

Go.

John Lee Roche

November 27, 1973. I watched the house for hours. I parked across the way, out over there. I was just casing. I wasn't planning for this to be the night. But then, all of a sudden, your parents leave, and I figure--

Fox Mulder

Where'd they go?

John Lee Roche

House next door... To play pinochle. I don't know. Whatever it was people did back then.

Fox Mulder

Go on.

John Lee Roche

After they're gone, I get out of my car, and I move closer, and I watched you and your sister... Playing that board game. A little after 8:00, I'm about ready. So I move to the junction box. I cut the power, and the lights go off. And then I moved around to the front door, and I was ready to kick the door in. It was unlocked. It was 1973. It was a different world back then.

Fox Mulder

And then what did you do?

John Lee Roche

Well, you remember that. I-- I came in the front door, and you tried to get to your father's gun. I give you credit for that. But then you sort of froze, and then... [ Mulder panting ] I took your sister away from all this... To a happier place.

Fox Mulder

That's exactly how it happened? Right here in this room?

John Lee Roche

Yeah.

Fox Mulder

Wrong house. My father bought this house after he and my Mother divorced. This house is in west tisbury. The house that Samantha was abducted from is in chilmark. That's six Miles from here! You screwed up. You were never here. You didn't take Samantha.

John Lee Roche

Wishful thinking.

Fox Mulder

No. No, but I think I know what happened. Somehow you got inside my dreams.

John Lee Roche

Come again?

Fox Mulder

I profiled you. I got inside your head. Maybe you got inside mine. Maybe some nexus or connection was formed between us. And through that, you got access to my memories of my sister Samantha, and you used them against me for this.

John Lee Roche

You're just resisting me.

Fox Mulder

And you're in the wrong house, you stupid son of a bitch! You were never here, you liar!

John Lee Roche

It's geography, man. It was 23 years ago. That was geography we're talking about.

Fox Mulder

Yeah, but you remember all the other details so vividly. That's because you watched it through my eyes, through my dreams.

[ chuckling ]

John Lee Roche

I hear things about you, Mulder. You know what I heard? I heard you go after aliens... From space. It's like your world will be okay as long as you can believe in, like, flying saucers. [ imitating flying saucer whirring ] but I'm telling you the god's honest truth. And I can see you're not as open-minded as you think you are.

Fox Mulder

You must have been one hell of a salesman, Roche. First flight's at 6:00 a.m. Enjoy your last few hours of freedom. Come on.

[ distant cry ]

Scene 19

HOTEL

Samantha Mulder

Fox! Fox! Help! Unlock me! Help! Help me! Fox, help me! Help me! Unlock me! Fox! Fox! Fox, help me! Unlock me! Fox! [ revving continues ]

[ engine revs ]

[ pounding on door ]

Dana Scully

Mulder?

Walter Skinner

Mulder, open the door! You let Roche go?

Fox Mulder

I must've done it in my sleep. I had another dream.

Walter Skinner

[ sighs ] why don't you check to see if anybody saw him leave.

Fox Mulder

He took the last cloth heart.

Dana Scully

He also took your badge and your Phone.

Walter Skinner

Where's your gun? How do you explain yourself?

Fox Mulder

I don't.

Walter Skinner

You don't. A predator is loose because of you. God only knows how many hours lead he's got. Any idea where he might be headed?

Fox Mulder

Yeah.

Dana Scully

Where?

Fox Mulder

Where's your Phone? [ sighs ] there was a small child on the plane.

Dana Scully

What child?

Woman On Phone

Seaboard air.

Fox Mulder

Please put me through to your supervisor.

Dana Scully

What child?

Fox Mulder

[ indistinct chatter ] this is special agent Fox Mulder with the FBI I'd like a passenger manifest for flight 1650... From washington national to boston, 8:50 p.m. Last night. My badge number is j-t-t--

Airline Employee

I'm sorry. Agent Mulder called.

[ indistinct chatter ]

Fox Mulder

An agent Mulder called just ten minutes ago. They gave him the same information.

Scene 20

NEW FRIENDS DAY CARE · SWAMPSCOTT, MASSACHUSETTS

[ tires screeching ]

Woman

He told me he was with the FBI he said her Mother was in an accident, and he needed to take Caitlin.

Local Cop

You said he was a white male?

Woman

Yeah.

Local Cop

About how tall was he?

Woman

Um, he was about 6'5" or something.

[ sobbing ]

Woman

He said his name was Mulder. He had a badge. He said he was official. Oh, my god, what have I done?

Local Cop

We sent a unit over to pick up the girl's Mother. She's on her way down.

Walter Skinner

Okay.

Woman

What am I going to tell her? It's all my fault.

Fox Mulder

It's not all your fault. It's my fault.

[ chatter on police radio ]

Fox Mulder

I'm sorry. You were right. He was playing me the whole time.

Dana Scully

You don't think he took Samantha?

Fox Mulder

None of that really matters now, does it?

Dana Scully

Where do you think he'd take this girl? Would he follow his m.o. And drive her out of state?

Fox Mulder

There's no reason for that. He knows we're gonna catch him. He just needs it to be later rather than sooner. He's gonna stay in the boston area. He'll be somewhere nearby.

Dana Scully

How much of a creature of habit is he? Do you think he'd take her someplace familiar?

Fox Mulder

Try to relive some past glories? I don't know, maybe. What?

Dana Scully

He lived in boston in the early '70s, right?

Walter Skinner

What've you got?

Dana Scully

Roche's old address in the area. Revere. 9809 alice road, apartment number 6.

Fox Mulder

He's there.

Walter Skinner

How do you know?

Fox Mulder

Alice. Alice in wonderland. He's the mad hatter.

Walter Skinner

That's thin.

Fox Mulder

That's where he got the idea in the first place.

Walter Skinner

All right, let's go! Check the other rooms!

Dana Scully

I don't think he brought her here.

Fox Mulder

He never brought anyone here.

Police Officer

No one, sir!

[ panting ]

Walter Skinner

All right, spread out! Find the entrance!

[ man shouting ]

[ shouting ]

[ girl screaming ]

[ creaking ]

[ creaking ]

John Lee Roche

I'm beginning to believe we do share that... Nexus you spoke of. You always seem to find me.

Fox Mulder

Are you okay, Caitlin? Good. My name is Fox. I'm gonna take you home.

John Lee Roche

I have your gun, Fox.

Fox Mulder

Caitlin, can you do me a favor? Can you count to 20? Can you do that? Will you close your eyes and count to 20 out loud quietly and slowly?

Caitlin Ross/Mulder

One, two,

Caitlin Ross

Three,

John Lee Roche

I will shoot.

Caitlin Ross

Four,

Fox Mulder

Don't make this end badly.

Caitlin Ross

Five, six, seven,

John Lee Roche

You're not giving me very much choice.

Caitlin Ross

Eight, nine--

John Lee Roche

I really don't want to go back to prison.

Walter Skinner

Put the gun down, Roche!

Caitlin Ross

...eleven, twelve,

John Lee Roche

You have one left.

Caitlin Ross

Thirteen,

John Lee Roche

How are you gonna find her without me?

Caitlin Ross

Fourteen,

John Lee Roche

How sure are you it's not Samantha? Fifteen,

Caitlin Ross

Huh? Sixteen, seventeen,

John Lee Roche

How do you know?

Caitlin Ross

Eighteen, nineteen--

[ gunshot ]

[ screaming ]

Dana Scully

-[ Scully ] it's okay. I got you.

Walter Skinner

-[ Skinner ] call an ambulance.

[ knock at door ]

Scene 21

FBI HEADQUARTERS · WASHINGTON, D.C.

Dana Scully

I got back some lab results. The dye analysis determined that the fabric of the last heart... Was manufactured between 1969 and 1974, but beyond that, there's nothing more they can tell us. Mulder, it's not Samantha. And whoever that little girl really is, we'll find her.

Fox Mulder

How?

Dana Scully

I don't know, but I do know you. Why don't you go on home and get some sleep.
