Melissa Turner

Okay, sweetheart. We're just going in for a few things. We won't be long. Okay, Polly? Mommy needs some groceries, okay?

Polly Turner

I don't like this store, mommy.

Melissa Turner

We're only gonna be a minute.

Polly Turner

I wanna go home.

Chinga (doll)

Let's have fun. Help, Melissa. [ woman gasping ]

We're going home, Polly.

Scene 02

Dana Scully

Scully.

Fox Mulder

Hey, Scully, it's me.

Dana Scully

Mulder, I thought we had an agreement. We were both gonna take the weekend off.

Fox Mulder

Right. Right, I know. But-but I-I just received... Some information about-- about a case. A classic X-Files. Classic. I wanted to share it with you.

Dana Scully

Mulder, I'm on vacation. The weather is clear. I'm looking forward to hitting the road and breathing in some of this fine new England air.

Fox Mulder

You didn't rent a convertible, did you?

Dana Scully

Why?

Fox Mulder

Are you aware of the statistics of decapitation?

Dana Scully

Mulder, I'm hanging up. I'm turning off my cell phone. I'm back in the office on monday.

Fox Mulder

You shouldn't talk and drive at the same time, either.

[ line disconnects ]

Fox Mulder

Are you aware of the statistics-- hello?

[ tires screeching ]

[ tires screeching ]

Dana Scully

Sir? Sir, what happened?

Old Man

I-I think we need a doctor.

[ sobbing ]

Store Manager

[ sobbing continues ] who are you?

Dana Scully

I'm-- my name is Scully. I'm-- I'm an FBI agent. What happened to you?

Store Manager

I-I don't know. But dave, the butcher-- I think he's dead. [ panting ]

[ man, woman moaning on TV ]

Scene 03

Scene 03

Fox Mulder

Mulder.

Dana Scully

Mulder, it's me.

Fox Mulder

[ moaning continues ] I thought you were on vacation.

Dana Scully

I am. I'm up in Maine.

Fox Mulder

I thought you said you didn't want to be disturbed. You wanted to get out of your head for a few days.

Dana Scully

I don't. I mean, I do. I-- [ moaning continues ] what are you watching, Mulder?

Fox Mulder

It's the "world's most deadliest swarms." um-- you said you were gonna be unreachable. What's going on?

Dana Scully

I, uh-- I'm at a market here. I'm just trying to give the local p.d. A handle here.

Fox Mulder

A handle on what?

Dana Scully

Well, I'm not quite sure how to describe it, Mulder. I didn't witness it myself, but there seems to be some kind... Of an outbreak of people acting in a violent, involuntary way.

Fox Mulder

Towards who?

Dana Scully

Toward themselves.

Fox Mulder

Themselves?

Dana Scully

Yeah. Beating at their faces, clawing at their eyes. One man is dead.

Fox Mulder

Dead how?

Dana Scully

Self-inflicted, it appears.

Fox Mulder

Huh. It sounds to me like that's, uh, witchcraft... Or maybe some sorcery that you're looking for there.

Dana Scully

No, I don't think it's witchcraft, Mulder, or sorcery. I've had a look around, and I don't see any evidence... Of anything that warrants that kind of suspicion.

Fox Mulder

Maybe you don't know what you're looking for.

Dana Scully

Like evidence of conjury or the black arts or shamanism, divination, wicca or any kind of pagan or neo-pagan practice, charms, cards, familiars, bloodstones or hex signs... Or any of the ritual tableau associated... With the occult, santeria, voudom, macumba or any high or low magic.

Fox Mulder

Scully?

Dana Scully

Yes?

Fox Mulder

Marry me.

Dana Scully

I was hoping for something a little more helpful.

Fox Mulder

Short of looking for a lady wearing a pointy hat, riding a broomstick, I think you've pretty much got it covered there.

Dana Scully

Thanks anyway. Who's that woman right there?

Buddy

Melissa Turner.

Dana Scully

She's the only one I've seen who looks unaffected.

Buddy

What's your point?

Dana Scully

You might want to talk to her.

Chief Bonsaint

Ms. Scully. You staying in town?

Dana Scully

Yes. I'm on vacation. Why?

Chief Bonsaint

What you said back there about Melissa Turner... Kind of put a spin on this whole business here today.

Dana Scully

How's that?

Chief Bonsaint

Well, Melissa's caused some stir. People here say she's a witch.

Dana Scully

It's not the first time for that accusation in these parts.

Chief Bonsaint

Uh, yeah.

Dana Scully

To be honest with you, captain Bonsaint, um, I'm not much of a believer in witchcraft.

Chief Bonsaint

You know, I'm not either. I used to just think it's 'cause Melissa was pretty and single. Threatenin', you know?

Dana Scully

But now you're not convinced?

Chief Bonsaint

Well, you know, I appreciate the trouble you went to, and I sure do hope there's a reasonable explanation, like you said. Just this one thing gonna make it hard to persuade folks to your thinkin'.

Dana Scully

What one thing is that?

Chief Bonsaint

Who she's been carrying on with.

Dana Scully

"who she's been carrying on with"?

Chief Bonsaint

Uh, yeah. With dave, the butcher.

Oh, hi.

Are you okay, Melissa?

I'm fine. Why do you ask?

Who's that, mommy?

Buddy

I know you were here, Melissa, down at the supr savr.

Melissa Turner

I don't know what you're talking about, Buddy.

Polly Turner

Hang up, mommy.

Buddy

Melissa, turn the music down. There's some talk that you're involved in what happened here today.

Melissa Turner

I'm not involved in anything.

Buddy

I know that. Would you listen to me? I-I-I'm not saying that you are.

Melissa Turner

What are you saying, Buddy?

Polly Turner

Mommy!

Buddy

I want to help you, but you gotta keep it a secret, or we're both gonna be answering questions. Now, I got something to tell you.

Melissa Turner

What?

Buddy

Something bad.

Melissa Turner

What is it, Buddy?

Buddy

Dave's dead.

Melissa Turner

Oh, my God!

Buddy

I gotta see you right away. Melissa--

Melissa Turner

I can't.

Buddy

You need a friend more than ever.

Scene 05

MELISSA TURNER RESIDENCE

Dana Scully

The back door's wide open.

Chief Bonsaint

Melissa? The sheets are still wet.

Dana Scully

Chief? Take a look at this.

Chief Bonsaint

What the devil's this for?

Dana Scully

It looks like she was afraid of something.

Chief Bonsaint

Whatever it is, she's run off in a hurry. Laundry's out, door's unlocked. Beats me. [ sighs ]

Dana Scully

You know her?

Chief Bonsaint

Melissa Turner?

Dana Scully

Mm-hmm.

Chief Bonsaint

About as local as you can get. Born and raised here. Married a fisherman. Widowed last year after a boating accident. Don't know if the little girl, Polly, ever really understood. Toys in the attic.

Dana Scully

The daughter's autistic?

Chief Bonsaint

That's what they say. There was the incident last year over at the day care center. Proprietor slapped Polly across the face.

Dana Scully

Slapped her? What for?

Chief Bonsaint

She said Polly threw a tantrum so fierce, there was nothin' else she could do. Next thing she knew, she's on the ground. Little girl knocked her silly.

Dana Scully

The little girl did?

Chief Bonsaint

Well, that's her story. Polly never touched her as far as I could figure. Oh, it was a real drama, though. The lady who ran the school lost her license. People callin' the kid all manner of names, sayin' Melissa's a witch. Polly never went back to school a day since.

Dana Scully

This, uh-- this affair that the mother was having with the butcher?

Chief Bonsaint

Dave. Oh, I might have given you the wrong impression. That wasn't really an affair. Although, dave did make quite a fool of himself and his wife.

Dana Scully

So, it was unrequited?

Chief Bonsaint

You could say that.

Dana Scully

To the extent that she'd have to nail a window shut?

Chief Bonsaint

Oh, he wasn't that big a fool. You know, maybe she wasn't afraid of somethin'... Gettin' in. Maybe she was afraid of somethin' gettin' out.

Dana Scully

Like what?

Chief Bonsaint

Just a thought.

Scene 06

Scene 06

Buddy

What do you think of that, huh? Why don't you leave town?

Melissa Turner

I've got nowhere to go, Buddy. I live on a shoestring as it is.

Buddy

Listen to me. I've got some money put away.

Melissa Turner

Buddy, I can't.

Buddy

I've had my eye on you for more years than I care to remember. I missed my chance the first time around. I've been waiting in the wings. Now, I'm sorry about things. Truly I am. But you need somebody who can provide.

Melissa Turner

Don't, Buddy, please.

Buddy

Don't because you don't want to, or just because you're too proud?

Melissa Turner

You don't understand.

Buddy

What don't I understand?

Melissa Turner

What happened in the supr savr, what happened to dave-- I couldn't stop it.

Buddy

What do you mean?

Melissa Turner

I've seen things.

Polly Turner

I want more cherries.

Waitress

What's that, sweetie?

Polly Turner

I want more cherries.

Melissa Turner

I saw dave dead... Before he was dead. I saw him in frozen foods all cut and bloody. And it's not the first time. My husband-- I saw him... In a window, dead before it happened. You know, with the hook.

Waitress

You're gonna have to go ask your mommy for some more money, hon. I just can't give them away.

Waiter

[ man ] window order.

Chinga (doll)

Let's have fun.

Polly Turner

Mommy, I want more cherries.

Melissa Turner

We gotta go now, Polly.

Officer Briggs

Take this, Melissa. It's to a place we use for hunting up near schoodic lake.

Polly Turner

Mommy? Mommy?

Officer Briggs

Or else there's gonna be trouble, more than you need.

Polly Turner

Mommy!

Scene 07

Jane Froelich

Is that you, jack?

Chief Bonsaint

Uh, yeah, it's me, Jane. Come in?

Jane Froelich

Who have you got with you?

Dana Scully

Ms. Froelich, my name's Dana Scully. I'm with the FBI I just happened to be here on vacation, and, uh--

Jane Froelich

So?

Dana Scully

So, I just-- I'm helping out the chief here.

Jane Froelich

Did you talk to her?

Dana Scully

Who?

Jane Froelich

Oh, please. Melissa Turner. That whore's a witch, sure as I'm standin' here. She's descended from the hawthornes in salem and the englishes too. She comes from a cursed lineage, and now she's passing it on to the whelp. God save that little girl if somebody don't do somethin'. Lord knows I tried.

Chief Bonsaint

Jane, if we could just come in for a few minutes and talk.

Jane Froelich

I found out last year how much good talkin' to you does, jack Bonsaint. I explained everything, and the city closed me down anyway. Our great-great-grandfathers knew how to treat witches. They would have driven the demon out of that little girl... And given that slantard of a mother just what she's got coming.

Dana Scully

New England hospitality. I've heard about it my whole life. Finally got a chance to experience it for myself.

Chief Bonsaint

You see what I'm up against here, public sentiment and all.

Dana Scully

This family tree of Melissa Turner's. Uh, yeah. It's all talk, isn't it?

Chief Bonsaint

Well, I never really asked. Why?

Dana Scully

Well, I think you need to bring her in to straighten this out.

Chief Bonsaint

Under what pretext?

Dana Scully

That she might know something.

Chief Bonsaint

About what?

Dana Scully

Well, about what I'm sure is a perfectly reasonable explanation for all this.

Chief Bonsaint

Uh, yeah.

Dana Scully

I wish I could help you out. You know, I'm just... On vacation.

Hi.

Ranger

Where are you headed this time of night?

Melissa Turner

We were invited up to a place near the lake.

Ranger

Uh-huh.

Melissa Turner

A friend gave us the key.

Ranger

You got gear? Food and water?

Melissa Turner

We'll be all right.

Ranger

I just want to make sure of that, ma'am. Winter's in full force up there. Power's iffy. Just you and the little one?

Melissa Turner

For now.

Polly Turner

I wanna go home, mommy.

Melissa Turner

We're gonna go camping, Polly.

Polly Turner

I want my bed. I want my records.

Looks like she died by her own hand. A big slice under the chin opened up the artery.

Dana Scully

With what?

Chief Bonsaint

[ Mulder ] hey, morning, sunshine.

Dana Scully

Mulder?

Fox Mulder

Yeah. I was, uh, a little worried about you. I was wondering if you needed my help up there.

Dana Scully

Needed your help on what?

Fox Mulder

I left you a message at the motel. You didn't get it?

Dana Scully

I was up and out this morning. [ tapping continues ] Mulder?

Fox Mulder

Yeah?

Dana Scully

What's that noise? Where are you?

Fox Mulder

I'm at home. They're doing construction right out the window. Hold on a second. Hey, fellas, can you just keep it down for a second maybe? Thank you! Yeah, hey, I was thinking about this case. Maybe it's not witchcraft after all. Maybe there's a scientific explanation.

Dana Scully

"a scientific explanation"?

Fox Mulder

Yeah, a medical cause. Something called chorea.

Dana Scully

Dancing sickness.

Fox Mulder

Yeah, st. Vitus's dance. It affects groups of people, causing unexplained outbursts of, uh, uncontrollable jerks and spasms.

Dana Scully

Yeah, and it hasn't been seen or diagnosed since the middle ages. Mmm.

[ groans ]

Fox Mulder

You're obviously not a fan of American bandstand, Scully.

Dana Scully

Mulder? Thanks for the help. Yeah?

Chief Bonsaint

A little late for anything else. Now, you said you had some other directions you were lookin' at?

Dana Scully

I've been thinking about Melissa Turner. Now, you said that her husband died in a boating accident?

Chief Bonsaint

Uh, yep.

Dana Scully

Well, was there anything strange about that? About the way that it happened?

Chief Bonsaint

Well, it was never quite explained to anyone's satisfaction, actually.

Dana Scully

How's that?

Chief Bonsaint

How the man got a grappling hook... Poked clean through his skull.

Dana Scully

Was Melissa ever questioned about that?

Chief Bonsaint

Melissa? No, I don't see how she'd be involved. The boat he died on is right over there, if you're at all wonderin'.

Old Man

"what happened?" you ask that question around here, you get as many stories as-- as fishermen.

Dana Scully

You were on board the night that he died. What do you think?

Old Man

I told my story to the chief.

Dana Scully

People's stories change.

Old Man

[ sighs ] folks blame the widow.

Dana Scully

Who do you blame?

Old Man

He was wild for her. He worked very hard to build that little house for her. When that daughter came, you needed a mop to wipe the smile off his face. We'd set out to sea on the girl's last birthday. He was counting the hours before he'd be home again.

Father

Hey, look what davy jones sent my little Polly.

[ chuckles ]

Father

Catch of the day.

Old Man

Yeah. Three days later... He was dead.

Dana Scully

And you know what killed him.

Scully.

Fox Mulder

Oh, hey. I-- I thought you weren't answering your cell phone.

Dana Scully

Then why'd you call?

Fox Mulder

I, uh-- I had a new thought about this case you're working on. There's a viral infection that's spread by simple touch.

Dana Scully

Mulder, are there any references in occult literature... To objects that have the power to direct human behavior?

Fox Mulder

What types of objects?

Dana Scully

Um, like a doll, for instance.

Fox Mulder

You mean like chucky?

Dana Scully

Yeah, kind of like that.

Fox Mulder

Well, yeah, the talking doll myth is well established in literature, especially in new England. The fetish-- or juju-- is believed to pass on magical powers on to its possessor. Some of the early witches were condemned... For little more than proclaiming that these objects existed. The supposed witch having premonitory visions and things-- why do you ask?

Dana Scully

I was just curious.

Fox Mulder

You didn't find a talking doll, did you, Scully?

Dana Scully

No. No, of course not. Uh--

Fox Mulder

I would suggest that you check the back of the doll for a-- a plastic ring with a string on it.

Dana Scully

What case? Uh, yeah. Yes, it does.

Fox Mulder

Did you solve it?

Dana Scully

Me? No. No, I was-- I was on vacation. Just... Getting out of my own head for a few days. What about you? Did you, um, get anything done while I was gone?

Fox Mulder

Oh, God, it's amazing what I can accomplish without incessant meddling... Or questioning into everything I do. It's just-- there's... Got to be an explanation.

Oh, I don't know. I think some things are better left unexplained.
