Scene 01

AESTHETIC SURGERY UNIT

Nurse Waite

Miss holland, I'm nurse Waite. I'll be assisting in your procedure.

Holland

Is it going to hurt?

Nurse Waite

You won't feel a thing. There isn't even any blood. Dr. Lloyd's done over a thousand lipo procedures. You're in good hands.

Orderly

Okay, here we go.

Nurse Waite

I'm going to give you a tranquilizer now, and then right before the operation... The doctor will give you injections of saline and anesthetic. All you have to worry about is buying a new wardrobe. Your liposuction patient is prepped and waiting in room five.

[ water running ]

Dr. Lloyd

Fine. What else am I scheduled for?

Nurse Waite

You've got a scalp reduction and a blepharoplasty following.

Dr. Lloyd

Are they prepped?

Nurse Waite

Um, no. Would you like--

Dr. Lloyd

Get them ready, please. I'd like to move right along this morning.

Nurse Waite

Yes, doctor.

Scene 02

OPERATING ROOM

[ whirring ]

Nurse Waite

How are you doing?

Holland

Is the doctor going to be much longer? I think my tranquilizer's starting to wear off.

Nurse Waite

I'm sorry. I-I don't know where-- dr. Lloyd!

Dr. Lloyd

I think this patient is finished.

Scene 03

OFFICE IN HOSPITAL

Dr. Lloyd

What else do you call it? When you're in your body and out of it at the same time... Without the ability to control your actions, to stop yourself from doing what I did to that poor man? What else do you call it?

Fox Mulder

Spirit possession or demon possession? While these mental states have been well documented throughout history, they've been much maligned-- rightly or wrongly-- and haven't held up in court well as a criminal defense.

Lawyer

I reiterate that I have advised my client against speaking to you. I'd appreciate it if you would direct any legal discussion to counsel.

Dana Scully

Dr. Lloyd, are you currently taking any kind of medication?

Dr. Lloyd

The occasional sleeping pill and a prescription antacid for my stomach.

Dana Scully

Would you mind allowing me to check the dosage and which ones?

Dr. Lloyd

No, I really-- I would like to know why.

Lawyer

I think you've gotten a clear picture of my client's story... And his willingness to go along with your investigation.

Fox Mulder

Yes, I believe we have.

Dana Scully

Dr. Lloyd, you say that you've taken sleeping pills. How much sleep did you get the night before?

Dr. Lloyd

I, um-- I can't recall.

Scene 04

GREENWOOD MEMORIAL HOSPITAL

Dana Scully

The sleeping pill he was taking was something called somanil.

Fox Mulder

I've heard of it.

Dana Scully

It's popular because it works directly on the central nervous system... And it isn't stored in body tissue past its intended use. But it's also very controversial for its addictiveness... And its effect on long-term behavior.

Fox Mulder

What was the date of dr. Lloyd's prescription?

Dana Scully

He started taking the drug five years ago, and he went through-- oh, he took a lot of it: 19 100-tablet refills.

Fox Mulder

Wow.

Dana Scully

Yeah. That's more than a pill a day.

Fox Mulder

An addiction, in other words.

Dana Scully

An addiction which very well could have altered his ability to do his job.

Fox Mulder

How many of these procedures would you say dr. Lloyd's performed?

Dana Scully

Judging from his schedule the day of the accident, hundreds and probably thousands.

Fox Mulder

And not one fatality.

Dana Scully

You're missing my point here, Mulder. This place is a veritable factory. Cosmetic surgery is the boom industry of the medical world. A.s.u. Wards like this are a gold mine.

Fox Mulder

Everybody's doing it, so I hear.

Dana Scully

A brand-new, state-of-the-art facility like this can support an entire hospital.

Fox Mulder

what do you suppose these are? -

Dana Scully

What?

Fox Mulder

These five marks on your brand-new, state-of-the-art floor.

Dana Scully

They look like they were made by the coasters from an o.r. Table... Or some kind of equipment.

Fox Mulder

They look to me like they were burned or scorched. In the shape of a pentagram.

Dana Scully

Mulder, if you want to connect the dots here, you should look at the facts. Iatrogenic deaths or deaths due to doctor error... Are upwards of 80,000 a year. Dr. Lloyd was pushing his limits. He was an accident waiting to happen.

Fox Mulder

I'm not a doctor, Scully, but you've got to be pushing pretty hard... To mistake a beer belly for a bald head, not to mention door number three. It's amazing that no one saw him in time to stop him.

Dana Scully

Maybe they were all possessed.

Fox Mulder

I don't think it's just a simple possession, Scully. I think it's more like sorcery or black magic or something like that. Excuse me. What kind of procedure is that up there?

Nurse Waite

It's a rhinoplasty. I'm sorry, who are you?

Dana Scully

We're with the FBI I'm agent Scully and this is agent Mulder. We're investigating a patient's death here.

Nurse Waite

Oh, uh, yes.

Dana Scully

You're rebecca Waite. You were the attending nurse at the time. Am I correct?

Nurse Waite

Yes.

Dana Scully

Can you explain to me what happened with dr. Lloyd, how a mistake like this could happen?

Nurse Waite

No. No, I can't really. I wasn't in the o.r. At the time, and it's difficult for me in my position.

Dana Scully

Did you observe dr. Lloyd at all before the accident?

Nurse Waite

I helped prep the patient. I was supposed to assist. I did my job as a nurse.

Fox Mulder

Are you aware that dr. Lloyd is claiming he was possessed during the incident?

Nurse Waite

I guess it's cheaper than malpractice insurance.

Dr. Shannon

Give him 500 c.c.s of ringer's wide open before he goes to recovery. I need you to keep up with me here.

Nurse Waite

Right away, dr. Shannon.

Dana Scully

Dr. Shannon, can we have a word with you, please?

Dr. Shannon

I'm sorry. I've got a patient who can't wait.

Dana Scully

There's magic going on here, Mulder, only it's being done with silicone, collagen and a well-placed scalpel.

Scene 05

BOARD ROOM

Dr. Kaplan

What we have to do here is keep calm... And do nothing out of the ordinary. The appearance here of any dissembling or impropriety... Will only deepen the FBI's probe, on top of dr. Lloyd's insurance investigation.

Dr. Ilaqua

Dr. Lloyd has made us a target.

Dr. Shannon

The last thing we need is to be caught up in an expose.

Dr. Kaplan

Then they start looking at our books again. It's bad enough we have to explain why buttock liposculptures cost 4,000 a pop.

Dr. Ilaqua

We look greedy, therefore we look guilty.

Dr. Franklyn

We haven't done anything wrong, dr. Ilaqua.

Dr. Kaplan

If we give any credence or credibility to dr. Lloyd's story, they're gonna burn us at the stake.

Dr. Shannon

What about the other personnel? They were talking to the nurse-- Waite.

Dr. Franklyn

She can't tell them anything... Because she doesn't know anything.

Scene 06

PREP ROOM

Female Patient

I can't feel my feet. I'm having a skin peel, but I can't feel my feet.

Nurse Waite

It's okay. It's okay. Your feet are still there. They aren't going anywhere.

Female Patient

It's-- it's just... I'm afraid to be put to sleep. [ sighs ] what if I don't wake up?

Nurse Waite

Not to worry. Not to worry. I want you to relax... And think about your beautiful new face. You're in good hands. We're going to protect you.

Scene 07

MULDER’S HOTEL ROOM

[ knocking ]

Dana Scully

You wanted to show me something?

Fox Mulder

Yeah, a videotape. This video of the operation shows that the five marks delineating the pentagram... Were in evidence prior to the patient's death.

Dana Scully

Stop it a second. My god, he basically stabbed the man to death in his sleep.

Fox Mulder

Which only underscores the strangeness. A sane man acting under his own volition could never perform such an act. Look. There.

Dana Scully

Presuming that has anything to do with this, who would have put them there?

Fox Mulder

I don't know. A pentagram is supposed to be a symbol of protection and positive power... Used to control the elemental forces.

Dana Scully

Then it doesn't make sense.

Fox Mulder

But it does make sense that witchcraft... Would find a theater in a place like this, preying on the weak and vainglorious.

Dana Scully

But there's no other evidence of anything like witchcraft taking place here.

Fox Mulder

Maybe there is. What was that prescription that dr. Lloyd was taking?

Dana Scully

The sleeping pills?

Fox Mulder

No, the stomach antacid. Read me what it's made from.

Dana Scully

"an antispasmodic whose active ingredients include belladonna alkaloids--"

Fox Mulder

It's also known as witch's berry. That's an herb used in hexing rituals.

Dana Scully

Mulder, do you know how many pharmaceuticals listed in the p.d.r. Contain belladonna?

Fox Mulder

Yeah, just one; the one dr. Lloyd was taking.

Dana Scully

If it's that simple, why don't you put out an a.p.b. For someone riding a broom?

Fox Mulder

You jest, Scully, but there's a good chance... That this hex or ritual or whatever it is may not be finished.

Scene 08

SCRUB ROOM

Dr. Shannon

The FBI seems to have backed off, at least for the time being.

Dr. Ilaqua

Yes.

Dr. Shannon

Are you finished for the day?

Dr. Ilaqua

Yes.

Dr. Shannon

I've got a laser peel. Then I'm out of here. We're gonna get through this, Eric. All we have to do is keep our heads on straight.

Nurse Waite

The patient is prepped. Is there anything you need me to do?

Dr. Shannon

Yes, I'm gonna need a clean pair of scrubs from the laundry. I forgot to pick some up.

Nurse Waite

I'll get them now. Is there anything you need, dr. Ilaqua?

Dr. Ilaqua

No, thank you.

Dr. Shannon

Am I prepped in another room?

Nurse Waite

No, your patient's in o.r. Two. Who's that?

Dr. Shannon

That's dr. Ilaqua. What the hell is he doing with my patient?

[ Shannon ]

[ whirring ]

Dr. Shannon

Dr. Ilaqua! Open this door! Eric, open this door immediately! Dr. Ilaqua, do you hear me? You've got to stop this now! This is wrong! What are you doing? Eric! Open this door immediately! This is dr. Shannon! I said stop this now! Stop!

Scene 09

Scene 09

Dana Scully

You don't remember anything, dr. Ilaqua? How you got in the room or what compelled you to do such a thing?

Dr. Ilaqua

No. I was on my way home.

Dana Scully

Do you realize what you've done now?

Dr. Ilaqua

Yes.

Dana Scully

May I? I'll be right back.

Fox Mulder

Did you examine the victim?

Dana Scully

No, just dr. Ilaqua. Why?

Fox Mulder

I found something else on the videotape. Right there.

Dana Scully

What are they, bruises?

Fox Mulder

I don't know, but the orientation of the points... Describes a pentagram again. See?

Dana Scully

Well, I found something too.

Fox Mulder

That's the same prescription dr. Lloyd was taking.

Dana Scully

You think it's just a coincidence?

Dr. Shannon

Yeah.

Scene 10

CONFERENCE ROOM

Dr. Shannon

Any change in scheduling or workload... Is going to give the appearance of covering guilt. We can't compromise our position on this.

Dana Scully

Sorry to barge in, but this is a matter of some urgency.

Dr. Franklyn

No, please. I'm dr. Jack Franklyn. May we ask you to sit down?

Fox Mulder

It appears we've interrupted a gathering.

Dr. Franklyn

"gathering"? Sir, can you imagine this group's concern about what's happened... And our urgency to resolve this... And to finally bring the person responsible to justice?

Dana Scully

"finally"?

Dr. Franklyn

I don't know how much of this you know, but ten years ago... There were several deaths at this hospital, here in the a.s.u., and, like the recent deaths, they were all ruled accidental.

Fox Mulder

Were any of you here at the time?

Dr. Franklyn

A few of us. Yes, but more importantly... There's a nurse: rebecca Waite. She was on the ward during those incidents. Six weeks ago, she transferred back here to the a.s.u.

Dana Scully

Do you have any other reasons to suspect her?

Dr. Franklyn

Well, she's the only person on the ward who had some contact... With each of the victims and the doctors involved.

Fox Mulder

Have you spoken with her?

Dr. Franklyn

No, she left the hospital early, and no one's been able to find her.

Scene 11

REBECCA WAITE’S HOUSE

[ woman chanting softly in foreign language ]

[ chanting continues ]

[ chanting continues ]

[ chanting continues ]

[ cat meows ]

Fox Mulder

Probable cause.

Dana Scully

Under suspicion of being a witch? Mulder. What could she have been doing in here?

Fox Mulder

Probably not tax returns.

[ water dripping ]

[ both grunting ]

[ shouts ]

[ dial tone ]

[ line ringing ]

Scene 12

1953 GARDNER ST

911 Recording

You have reached the 911 emergency line. Please stay on the line.

[ growls, screaming ]

[ continues screaming ]

[ panting ]

Nurse Waite

[ Waite grunting ] you don't know what you're doing. Let me go. They don't understand. You have to tell them.

Fox Mulder

I want to speak to her.

Nurse Waite

Tell them!

Dana Scully

Mulder, don't.

Nurse Waite

I tried to stop him, but it's too powerful. Someone has to stop--

[ gasping, gagging ]

Dana Scully

Get the paramedics over here.

[ retching ]

Dana Scully

Get the paramedics over here now!

[ paramedic ]

EMT

Watch it.

Dana Scully

She swallowed straight pins and is bleeding internally. You've got to get her into surgery immediately.

[ paramedic ]

EMT

There you go.

Dana Scully

I'm going with her to the e.r.

[ siren blaring ]

Scene 13

DR. FRANKLYN’S BEDROOM

Dr. Franklyn

I would have done it myself, but I'm still a little shaky.

Dr. Shannon

Jack, you're a lot cooler than I'd be if it'd been me.

Dr. Franklyn

Ah, well, the important thing is it's over now.

Fox Mulder

Dr. Franklyn?

Dr. Franklyn

Oh... Agent Mulder.

Fox Mulder

I came to see if you were okay. -

Dr. Franklyn

Yes, I'm fine. Thank you.

Dr. Shannon

That woman broke in. She was in here waiting for him.

Fox Mulder

Looks like she took a pretty good shot at you.

Dr. Franklyn

Yes, apparently.

Fox Mulder

Nothing that a little plastic surgery won't fix up, though, huh? You have any idea why she might have attacked you?

Dr. Franklyn

I'm the one who voiced suspicion about her.

Fox Mulder

She wouldn't have known that.

Dr. Shannon

[ Shannon ] it could have been any one of us. -she's obviously quite mad. -

Fox Mulder

We have reason to believe she's a practitioner of ritual magic.

Dr. Franklyn

"ritual magic"?

Fox Mulder

A practicing witch.

Dr. Shannon

She's responsible for dr. Lloyd and dr. Ilaqua? Witchcraft caused them to kill those patients?

Fox Mulder

I think a lot remains to be proven.

Dr. Franklyn

I'm sorry. This evening has been a bit much, and I really need to get some rest.

Dr. Shannon

I think all of us would like to get some rest, get back to work and put this behind us.

Scene 14

MULDER’S HOTEL ROOM

Dana Scully

Mulder, it's me.

Fox Mulder

Come in. It's open. God, you look tired.

Dana Scully

I do? [ groans ] I was just at the hospital. Our suspect, rebecca Waite, was pronounced 20 minutes ago.

Fox Mulder

Cause of death?

Dana Scully

Massive blood loss due to esophageal hemorrhaging... Caused by the expulsion of hundreds of straight pins.

Fox Mulder

You ever see anything like that?

Dana Scully

Well, in med school I saw some weird stuff. There's a psychiatric disorder called pica, which is characterized by the craving for nonfood objects like clay, rocks, glue. But if she swallowed--

Fox Mulder

She would have died long before she yacked them up on the driveway. Unless she didn't ingest them at all, which would fit... With a phenomenon called allotriophagy.

Dana Scully

"allotriophagy"?

Fox Mulder

Yeah, the spontaneous vomiting or disgorgement... Of foul or strange objects usually associated with someone possessed.

Dana Scully

Mulder, I won't refute that this woman may have been practicing the occult, but what comes out must first go in.

Fox Mulder

According to this book, people throughout history have coughed up things-- from cue balls to knives-- without any explanation of how they got there.

Dana Scully

Where did you get this from?

Fox Mulder

Rebecca Waite's house. It's the same place I got this. This calendar was open to april. The 30th is marked by a symbol you're familiar with by now.

Dana Scully

What's the significance of the 30th?

Fox Mulder

It's one of the four greater witches' sabbaths. They're seasonal high holy days. According to that book there, it's also known as roodmas. It's also the birth date of the first victim. Now, July 31st... Is also marked with a pentagram. This coincides with lammas, another one of the witches' sabbaths. It's also the birth date of the second victim.

Dana Scully

You think she was choosing her victims based on their birthdays?

Fox Mulder

No, no. Remember, I said the pentagram is a protective symbol. I think rebecca Waite was trying to save those patients. I think she knew they were in danger.

Dana Scully

Which made her attack dr. Franklyn.

Fox Mulder

I think she knew something about him, and we should find out what that is before he goes back to work.

Scene 15

SCRUB ROOM

Dr. Shannon

I just got a very disturbing call.

Dr. Kaplan

From whom?

Dr. Shannon

The FBI they were asking about patients' birth dates. They're on their way over here right now.

Dr. Kaplan

I thought this was over.

Dr. Shannon

Apparently not.

Dr. Kaplan

You have a good thing going, you can bet... Somebody will try and take it away. I'm beginning to understand why a man becomes a conservative. He's got something to conserve. Are you all right, jack?

Dr. Franklyn

Yeah, I just didn't get much sleep last night.

Dr. Kaplan

Of course you didn't.

Dr. Franklyn

I'll be fine.

[ clears throat ]

Dr. Kaplan

Gail, push my osteoplasty back half an hour.

Gail

Yes, doctor.

Dr. Kaplan

I'm taking your chem peel. You're going home.

Dr. Franklyn

I said I'll be fine.

Dr. Kaplan

Take a look at yourself. You look like hell, jack.

Dr. Franklyn

Look, I appreciate the offer--

Dr. Kaplan

Don't get me wrong. I am not being magnanimous here. We just can't afford to make any more mistakes right now.

Scene 16

CAR

Dana Scully

Yes, thank you. Dr. Franklyn's already left, but his office confirms... That one of his patients has a birthday which corresponds with one of the sabbaths.

Fox Mulder

When is that patient scheduled?

Dana Scully

This morning. She's already in preop, and one of the other doctors is filling in.

Scene 17

PRE-OP

Patient

Is dr. Franklyn okay?

Dr. Kaplan

He's just not feeling very well.

Patient

Oh. I-I suppose this is one of those procedures... That all doctors here can do, isn't it?

Dr. Kaplan

Yes.

Patient

Yes, dr. Franklyn said... That a chemical skin peel is safe, almost... Risk free.

Fox Mulder

We're looking for dr. Shannon.

[ screaming ]

[ gasping ]

[ crying ]

Scene 18

HOSPITAL OFFICE

Dr. Shannon

Our practice has been affiliated with greenwood for 13 years. Now the a.s.u. Accounts for over 50% of this hospital's revenue. Do you understand what that means?

Dana Scully

It means that while doctors in other fields... Have seen their earnings fall because of managed health care, you've all managed to become wealthy.

Dr. Shannon

We fill a need. We didn't create it. Everyone wants to be beautiful. But our success made us arrogant. I'm willing to accept responsibility for certain of our... Mistakes.

Fox Mulder

"mistakes"? Like those patient deaths ten years ago?

Dr. Shannon

That any of us could be capable of such gross negligence... Was inconceivable.

Dana Scully

So you covered it up.

Dr. Shannon

If we did, it was with the hospital's blessing. They conducted the investigation. We had become too valuable an asset, something they had to protect, even at the cost of five lives.

Fox Mulder

There were five deaths?

Dr. Shannon

Yes, four patients. The fifth was a colleague of ours who, for all intents and purposes, worked himself to death. He died of a drug overdose.

Fox Mulder

What was his name?

Dr. Shannon

Dr. Cox. Clifford cox.

Fox Mulder

Do you have a file on him?

Dr. Shannon

Probably in the computer.

Fox Mulder

Great. I'm gonna need that and the files on those patient deaths ten years ago.

Dana Scully

Why, Mulder? What are you thinking?

Scene 19

APPLICATION FOR APPOINTMENT TO THE MEDICAL STAFF

Fox Mulder

Dr. Clifford cox. Birth date: July 7, 1939. Can you take that photo and run it through... The cosmetic surgery program I saw on this computer?

Dr. Shannon

It will take me a few seconds to load up the software.

Dana Scully

Mulder, I'm still not sure where you're going with this.

Fox Mulder

Ten years ago, four patients died. Like the recent victims, their birth dates matched the witches' sabbaths, except dr. Cox.

Dana Scully

But cox was a doctor. Nothing about his death matches up except its coincidence.

Fox Mulder

Maybe, maybe not.

Dr. Shannon

I'm on line here.

Fox Mulder

Okay, this software was created to give patients an idea of their projected result, right?

Dr. Shannon

Within the limits of what the patient comes in with, we try to approach that aesthetic ideal. The computer runs a program based upon a matrix of relative proportions.

Fox Mulder

Vanity. Vanity, all is vanity.

[ computer beeps ]

[ Shannon ]

Dr. Shannon

Here it is.

Fox Mulder

Now, can you move the eyes further apart and strengthen the forehead?

Dr. Shannon

That is beyond our surgical capabilities.

Fox Mulder

I know.

Dr. Shannon

I don't understand. It looks like jack Franklyn.

[ panting ]

[ panting ]

Scene 21

HOSPITAL CORRIDOR

Dana Scully

Where else do you think he would be?

Dr. Shannon

I don't know. I'll check the o.r. Maybe he's there.

Dana Scully

He's not answering his pages.

Fox Mulder

Did you try his home?

Dana Scully

Answering machine. What are you thinking, Mulder? Dr. Cox murdered these patients ten years ago, and then became dr. Franklyn?

Fox Mulder

No, I think he murdered those patients so he could become dr. Franklyn.

Dana Scully

This kind of transformation is medically impossible.

Fox Mulder

It's not medicine, Scully. It's blood sacrifice.

Dana Scully

"blood sacrifice"?

Fox Mulder

The most potent offering in black magic. What if this man, having reached the limits of medical miracles, decided to stage a miracle all his own?

Dana Scully

So this man committed these murders in order to make himself beautiful?

Fox Mulder

Everybody wants to be beautiful, Scully.

Scene 22

OPERATING ROOM

Dr. Shannon

Jack. What are you doing?

Dr. Franklyn

I'm so glad that you're here.

Dr. Shannon

Jack, stay right where you are.

Scene 23

DR. FRANKLYN’S HOUSE

[ gasping ]

Dr. Franklyn

I hope those instruments were properly sterilized.

[ gasping ]

Fox Mulder

Dr. Franklyn? Scully, come over here. Stop right there. Look what you're standing on. This one's different. It's been inverted. See these two upright points here? They represent the goat of lust, attacking heaven with its horns.

Dana Scully

Look, he's inscribed all the names of the patients who were killed.

Scene 24

HOSPITAL CORRIDOR

Dana Scully

Including dr. Shannon.

Doctor

Clear the way! Moving through! What did you swallow? What did you swallow?

Orderly

She didn't say.

Doctor

I'm going in to do an exploratory laparotomy.

[ mumbling ]

Dr. Shannon

Please... Don't.

Doctor

Give her two units blood, stat. Someone get a 16-gauge I.v. In and open it wide.

Nurse

I'll get the I.v., doctor.

Dr. Shannon

No. Please, no. No. No, please, don't.

Scene 26

Scene 26

Fox Mulder

Where's dr. Shannon? They said she was brought here in an emergency.

Nurse

Dr. Shannon?

Dana Scully

Mulder, here.

Fox Mulder

Don't let them operate on her. Hold them off until you hear from me.

Dana Scully

Where are you going?

Fox Mulder

To find dr. Franklyn.

Scene 28

Scene 28

Doctor

Forceps.

Nurse

Here you go.

Doctor

Sponge it. Suction.

Nurse

Suction.

[ monitor beeping ]

[ doctor ]

Nurse

Flush. Saline.

Doctor

More sponge. Lap.

Dana Scully

You have to stop this procedure immediately!

Doctor

Whoever that person is, get her out of here now!

Dana Scully

I'm special agent Dana Scully. I'm an FBI agent.

Nurse

Get out of here now!

Dana Scully

Listen to me! I'm a doctor!

[ door opens ]

Doctor 2

What the hell's going on?

Dana Scully

I'm a federal agent.

Doctor 2

I don't care who you are. You can't interrupt a surgery. This woman could die.

Dana Scully

That's exactly what I'm trying to prevent.

Scene 30

OPERATING ROOM

Fox Mulder

What happened?

Dana Scully

They saved her life. They just pulled a whole rack of surgical instruments out of her intestinal tract. God only knows how they got there.

Fox Mulder

Then it failed.

[ intercom ]

Hospital Announcer

Code blue team to the e.r., stat.

[ woman crying hysterically ]

Nurse

Oh, my god!

[ alarm blaring, people yelling ]

Hysterical Nurse

I tried to stop him! He just went crazy!

Doctor

We're losing her! Fast!

[ doctor ]

Fox Mulder

What is this patient's birth date?

Doctor

Clear! Do it again!

Dana Scully

October 31st. Halloween.

Fox Mulder

On samhain, the fourth witches' sabbath.

Doctor

Hold on! Clear!

Scene 31

CITY OF ANGELS MEDICAL CENTER

Female Doctor

I can't tell you how happy we are... That you've decided to join us, dr. Hartman.

Dr. Hartman

Well, I like what I've seen so far. The truth is, I've always been drawn to los angeles.

Female Doctor

With your credentials, I'm sure you had plenty of options. I've been reviewing your patient portfolio. Your work is among the most impressive I've ever seen.

Dr. Hartman

I like to say whoever god didn't get around to creating in his own image, it's our job to recreate in ours.
