LEON COUNTY

Sloan

All right, let's shoot this, Marty.

Marty

Hold it still.

[ bug buzzing ]

Marty

Hold it still, sloan.

Sloan

I'd like to see you hold it still. The sooner they pave over this swamp, the better.

Marty

It's not a swamp. You're standing in a forest with indigenous plant and animal species... You're obviously too ignorant to appreciate. Mark it. Give me another position.

Sloan

Let's shoot this one carefully. This is where they're gonna put the blockbuster.

Marty

You're a real moron, sloan. You know that?

Sloan

Tree hugger.

Marty

You should be sad to see the demise of an ecosystem that's lasted a thousand years. We all should be. Give me four feet to your left.

Sloan

I can't.

Marty

What do you mean, you can't?

Sloan

I mean I can't because it's stuck.

Marty

Then unstick it.

Sloan

This is weird.

[ screaming ]

Marty

Sloan? Sloan?

[ panting ]

[ bug buzzing ]

Scene 02

Mr. Asekoff

Louis, let bo do the work.

Louis Asekoff

How's he gonna find a possum? Shh.

Mr. Asekoff

Animals sense things that we can't. That's how they survive.

Louis Asekoff

Is that how bo knows how to hunt?

Mr. Asekoff

Yep. Our ancestors were hunters too, but most of us have lost those instincts. That's why we need a little help.

Louis Asekoff

Dad, what's that?

Mr. Asekoff

Surveyor's equipment. Someone left his stuff out here.

[ barking ]

[ barking continues ]

Mr. Asekoff

Stay close, Louis.

[ dog whimpering ]

Louis Asekoff

What is it, dad? Dad?

Mr. Asekoff

Bo. Come here, bo.

Louis Asekoff

What--

Mr. Asekoff

Quiet!

[ rustling ]

Mr. Asekoff

Listen to me. I want you to take bo and run straight home.

Louis Asekoff

What's the matter?

Mr. Asekoff

I want you to run straight home, and I don't want you to stop for anything. Louis, you understand?

Louis Asekoff

I just--

Mr. Asekoff

All right, go.

[ rustling ]

Louis Asekoff

Come on, bo, come on!

[ rifle shot ]

[ rifle shot ]

[ barking ]

Louis Asekoff

Bo, no, no! Come on, bo, come on! Come on! Come on!

Scene 03

ROUTE 43

Agent Kinsley

Last year was something of a personal revelation. We were doing an exercise called "team builders," where we were given two minutes to build a tower... Out of ordinary office furniture.

Agent Stonecypher

When I stood on mike's shoulders and I put that electric pencil sharpener... On top of the pile, we both knew-- we could never have done it alone.

Fox Mulder

Kill me now.

Agent Kinsley

You ever been to one of these team seminars, agent Scully?

Dana Scully

Um, I think I went to a constructive problem-solving course... When I first joined the Bureau.

Agent Stonecypher

Did you play that game where you can't use any negative words?

Agent Kinsley

I couldn't believe how hard it was not to use the word "but."

Fox Mulder

I'm having that same problem right now!

Agent Stonecypher

Have you ever been to a team seminar, agent Mulder?

Fox Mulder

No. Unfortunately around this time of year... I always develop a severe hemorrhoidal condition.

Agent Kinsley

Well, it builds muscles you didn't even know you had.

Agent Stonecypher

Communication. That's the key.

Officer

Sorry, folks. It'll be a few minutes.

Agent Kinsley

What's going on, officer?

Officer

Got a little situation, is all.

Fox Mulder

Thank you, Jesus.

Agent Kinsley

Where's he going?

Mrs. Asekoff

Oh, excuse me! Are you from search and rescue?

Fox Mulder

No, I'm sorry. I'm just stretching my legs.

Mrs. Asekoff

They said they'd have word what happened to my husband. I need somebody to tell me what's going on.

Fox Mulder

Just slow down. I don't know what you're talking about.

Mrs. Asekoff

My husband, Michael, he was teaching our son to shoot. He said the dog got spooked, and then he heard gunshots. Now they've found a jacket with blood on it, but they won't tell me about my husband.

Fox Mulder

I'll try to find out who's in charge, all right?

Mrs. Asekoff

Thank you.

Agent Stonecypher

Now where's he going?

Agent Kinsley

Hey, Stonecypher, take a look at this. This tree was here 20 years before ponce de leon landed.

Agent Stonecypher

We're gonna be late for the wine and cheese reception.

Officer

Officer Fazekas?

Officer Michelle Fazekas

Yes? Can I help you?

Fox Mulder

My name is Fox Mulder. I'm an agent with the FBI

Officer Michelle Fazekas

FBI? Who called you guys out?

Fox Mulder

Nobody. We got stopped at your roadblock. Sounds like you have a shooting.

Officer Michelle Fazekas

Shots were reported, but we have no evidence of anyone being shot.

Fox Mulder

What do you have evidence of?

Officer Michelle Fazekas

A survey team working these woods didn't report in last night. We found one man's bloody jacket, pretty torn up. And this morning, a boy got separated from his father.

Fox Mulder

Separated by what?

Officer Michelle Fazekas

It looks maybe... Like some kind of animal attack.

Fox Mulder

What kind of animal?

Officer Michelle Fazekas

I'm not sure yet. I followed good tracks for the two surveyors, but the trails became confused as they moved into the brush. There was a third set of tracks leading away... I couldn't identify.

Fox Mulder

Couldn't identify as the surveyors'?

Officer Michelle Fazekas

As man or animal.

Dana Scully

Mulder?

Fox Mulder

Just, uh-- h-hold on a second. What about the boy's father?

Officer Michelle Fazekas

I tracked him all the way down to where he fired the shot. The ground's rocky, but from the depressions in the underlying soil, I can tell you that he entered the bushes from over there... Where I pick up another set of tracks, two distinctly different set of tracks that from the way... The ground's upset, is probably where the man was attacked.

Fox Mulder

But no other sign of him? You have panther in these woods?

Officer Michelle Fazekas

There's panther, bear.

Fox Mulder

But these tracks look like neither of those.

Officer Michelle Fazekas

No, sir.

Fox Mulder

You know of a good motel in the area?

Officer Michelle Fazekas

Excuse me. I think we can handle this very well on our own. Thanks.

Dana Scully

Mulder? We've got this conference. They're waiting.

Fox Mulder

Yeah. How do I say this without using any negative words, Scully?

Dana Scully

You want me to tell them that you're not gonna make it to this year's teamwork seminar.

Fox Mulder

See? We don't need that conference. We have communication like that unspoken. You know what I'm thinking.

[ laughing ]

Louis Asekoff

Look! He's all eaten away.

Mrs. Asekoff

How do you like that, eh?

[ TV off ]

Scene 04

ASEKOFF RESIDENCE

Louis Asekoff

He's not coming back, is he?

Mrs. Asekoff

Now, why would you say that?

Louis Asekoff

Dad's a good shot. If he hit what he was aiming at, he'd be home by now.

Mrs. Asekoff

You gotta be brave, Louis. We both gotta be brave. We'll find out more about it in the morning. Get some sleep now.

[ whimpering ]

[ knocking on door ]

Scene 05

Scene 05

Fox Mulder

It's open. Who cut the cheese?

Dana Scully

Since you won't be making it to the conference.

Fox Mulder

Mmm! Par-tay!

Dana Scully

However, I must remind you, this goes against the Bureau's policy... Of male and female agents consorting in the same motel room while on assignment.

Fox Mulder

Try any of that "tailhook" crap on me, Scully, I'll kick your ass. It's a pop quiz. What animal will attack the strongest, leaving the weakest to escape? The answer is "none." not one of the over 4,000 species native to north America... Will attack the strongest when the weak is vulnerable.

Dana Scully

And what does that have to do with anything?

Fox Mulder

It makes me think that what we're dealing with here is no ordinary predator.

Dana Scully

I thought this was a ploy to get out of the conference.

Fox Mulder

I think what we've stumbled upon here is something more than local authorities realize. The scenario described by that boy sounds to me like a primitive culling technique.

Dana Scully

We're in western florida. The closest thing to primitive down here... Is living in a beachfront retirement condo.

Fox Mulder

Those woods are as old as anything in the south. There's 800 square Miles of it. There's no telling what's alive out there.

Dana Scully

Where are you going?

Fox Mulder

I've gotta check something out.

Dana Scully

Sometimes I think some work on your communication skills wouldn't be such a bad idea.

Fox Mulder

I'll be back soon, and we can build a tower of furniture.

Louis Asekoff

Okay?

[ barking ]

[ whining, barking ]

Scene 06

Scene 06

[ barking ]

Mrs. Asekoff

What is it, bo?

Louis Asekoff

Mom?

Mrs. Asekoff

It's all right, Louis. You go back to sleep now.

[ barking ]

[ barking ]

Mrs. Asekoff

Bo? Bo? Bo, where'd you get to?

[ rustling ]

Mrs. Asekoff

Bo, is that you?

[ growls ]

[ gasps ]

[ growling ]

Mrs. Asekoff

Come home, boy. Let's go back in.

[ barking ]

Mrs. Asekoff

All right, all right. Stay there the night. Louis?

[ pounding on door ]

Mrs. Asekoff

Louis? Louis! Louis! Louis! Louis! Louis!

Louis Asekoff

Mom!

Fox Mulder

[ screaming ] what is it, Louis?

Louis Asekoff

It's in the house.

Scene 07

Scene 07

Dana Scully

How's it going?

Fox Mulder

He's still freaked out.

Dana Scully

I might have some insight into this invisible creature he said was chasing him.

Fox Mulder

The invisible man was invisible.

Dana Scully

Right.

Fox Mulder

He said he was chased by a creature with glowing red eyes. Let me show you something. Mrs. Asekoff said she went outside with the dog. When she came back, the door was locked from the inside.

Dana Scully

And?

Fox Mulder

Look at this. We got some tracks here.

Dana Scully

Where?

Fox Mulder

Here and here. Dried mud against the tile, tracked in from the outside.

Dana Scully

It could've been brought in by the dog.

Fox Mulder

No, no. You see the ball of the foot here? A large foot. And I count five toes.

Dana Scully

Wait, I thought you said it wasn't human.

Fox Mulder

I'm not saying it is. The weight distribution is all wrong. People walk heel to toe. Whatever this thing is, walks on the ball of its foot.

Dana Scully

You're putting me on.

Fox Mulder

No. My dad and I were indian guides. I know these things.

Dana Scully

So if it's not man and it's not animal, what the hell is it?

Officer Michelle Fazekas

Guess I'm a little late to this dance.

Fox Mulder

I found some tracks... Right here.

Officer Michelle Fazekas

Same as I saw before.

Dana Scully

Where was that?

Officer Michelle Fazekas

In the woods. Weight distribution's strange. They appear to be human, but whoever left these uses the balls of his feet more like an animal.

Fox Mulder

Whatever it is, it's attacked three grown men presumably in broad daylight, disposing of its prey without detection. And it wasn't shy last night about coming out of the woods to try again. What we've got is a predator with low visibility and a high degree of motivation. It's got one advantage we don't have-- the entire appalachicola national forest.

Officer Michelle Fazekas

Then how do you stop it?

Fox Mulder

By identifying it. Finding it before it finds somebody else.

Scene 08

Scene 08

Jeff Glaser

It's called a "flir" for forward looking infrared. It was developed for chopper pilots in Vietnam. Detects body heat at 300 yards.

Fox Mulder

That's pretty sophisticated for government issue.

Officer Michelle Fazekas

I see you two have met. Jeff's our local tech-head. Some people prefer searching with dogs. I prefer an extra pair of hands if I get in trouble. Are we ready to go? Once we start in, you can put away your cell phones. The only communication in these woods is with shortwave radios. So, stay close, maintain visual contact. If you get lost, initiate oral contact. That means holler. If nobody responds, sit down, don't move. I will find you. Don't go looking for me. I know it sounds obvious, but folks still get lost.

Dana Scully

Okay. I gotcha. Thank you. All right. Local p.d. Has all their resources looking out for a transient, a drifter who's wanted for a double homicide in gasden, alabama. They were amused when I told them what we were doing.

Fox Mulder

I don't think it's a drifter. We may be looking for two individuals.

Dana Scully

Why do you say that?

Fox Mulder

That thing lured that woman out of the house... To separate her from her son.

Dana Scully

For what purpose?

Fox Mulder

Divide and conquer. If your enemy has greater numbers than you... You divide and conquer to diminish those numbers.

Dana Scully

What enemy would that be?

Fox Mulder

Encroaching development. That's what I suspected when I went to check on Louis and his mother.

Dana Scully

This is about a housing tract?

Fox Mulder

That survey team was staking out a new 100,000 acre plot. Civilization's pushing very hard into these woods. Maybe something in these woods is pushing back.

Dana Scully

Anything?

Jeff Glaser

No. Nothing at all, not even wildlife.

Dana Scully

Isn't that a little strange?

Jeff Glaser

Yeah. This forest is usually alive with sound. I'm not an expert, but I've never seen it like this before.

Dana Scully

Sure is beautiful, though.

Jeff Glaser

That's what happens. People get to looking around, next thing they know something eats them.

Dana Scully

What do you think killed those men?

Jeff Glaser

Nature is populated by creatures either trying to kill something they need to survive, or trying to avoid being killed by something that needs them to survive. If we become blinded by the beauty of nature, we may fail to see... Its cruelty and violence.

Dana Scully

Walt whitman?

Jeff Glaser

No. When animals attack on the Fox network. Wait, I've got something. It's about 20 yards ahead.

Officer Michelle Fazekas

Where? I don't see it.

Jeff Glaser

It's just sitting there. It's on the move! It's moving fast! It's-it's going to the right! Wait! There's two of them now. They're moving in opposite directions. There and there.

Fox Mulder

Where is it?

Jeff Glaser

About 40 yards ahead of you.

Fox Mulder

I don't see it.

Jeff Glaser

Now it's gone. I don't know where it went.

Dana Scully

What is it?

Officer Michelle Fazekas

I don't know.

Dana Scully

They're trying to separate us, pull us away from the others. Let's go back.

[ gasps ]

Dana Scully

Michelle?

[ rustling ]

Dana Scully

Michelle?

[ rustling ]

Dana Scully

Mulder, I need help!

[ rustling ]

Dana Scully

Mulder!

Fox Mulder

Scully!

Dana Scully

Over here!

Fox Mulder

Scully?

Dana Scully

Over here.

Fox Mulder

What happened?

Dana Scully

I don't know.

Jeff Glaser

Where's Fazekas?

Dana Scully

She was walking ahead of me. She was right here, and then she was just gone.

Jeff Glaser

I'm getting no reading.

Dana Scully

What the hell's happening here?

Fox Mulder

They separated us. That was on purpose. They divided us so they could go after her. She was in the lead, and presumably the strongest. They take the strongest first.

Jeff Glaser

Take them where? You can't just disappear out here.

Fox Mulder

You're right. We gotta find her.

Jeff Glaser

How are we gonna do that?

Fox Mulder

I don't know! Form a line and beat the bushes. Maybe you'll pick up a signal.

Jeff Glaser

No, we need help. We need manpower. That's not gonna work out here. We need to get outta here! Listen to me.

Fox Mulder

The longer we wait, the less chance we have of finding her.

Jeff Glaser

This is nuts. This is looney tune, man. We gotta go back out of these woods before it gets dark.

Fox Mulder

Okay, you're right. You go back. You leave me the flir, and you go back.

Jeff Glaser

We gotta go together.

Fox Mulder

We have to find her.

Jeff Glaser

Yeah, well, if we stay here, they may not find any of us.

Dana Scully

Mulder, he's right. We weren't prepared for this. We have no way of telling them where we are. We don't have any food. Michelle had our only water. I'd like to find her too, but I think the risks of that are way too foolish.

Fox Mulder

All right, we all go then. You lead the way.

Dana Scully

I don't have much faith that this device will do us any good.

Fox Mulder

So far, all it's done is split us up.

Dana Scully

Whatever it is we're chasing, did show up on the screen at first.

Fox Mulder

What does that tell you?

Dana Scully

Nothing, except we're going in the right direction.

Fox Mulder

Maybe it can regulate its temperature. You don't know of any animal that can?

Dana Scully

Ticks. I've heard they can halt their metabolism... For up to 18 years, essentially going into suspended animation... Until something warm-blooded comes along.

Fox Mulder

That's interesting.

Dana Scully

Why is that interesting?

Fox Mulder

Thirty years ago, the town of point pleasant, west Virginia, was terrorized for over a year by something. Killing livestock, terrorizing the people. Witnesses described them as primitive-looking men with red-piercing eyes. Became known as the "moth men." I've got an X-File dating back to 1952 on it.

Dana Scully

What would that be filed next to? "the cockroach that ate cincinnati"?

Fox Mulder

The cockroach that ate cincinnati is in the "c's." moth men's over in the "m's."

Jeff Glaser

This isn't the way.

Dana Scully

What do you mean?

Jeff Glaser

Michelle always marks her route with little white stones.

Fox Mulder

This is the same path. This is the way we came.

Jeff Glaser

I haven't seen one of her stones for 20 minutes.

Fox Mulder

That's because you've had your nose glued to that screen the whole time.

Jeff Glaser

I'm telling you, we're on the wrong trail. Somehow we got off track. Oh, man, this is not happening. This is not happening.

Dana Scully

Everybody stand still. There's something out there.

Fox Mulder

Where?

Dana Scully

About 40 or 50 yards out.

Fox Mulder

Jeff?

Jeff Glaser

Nothing.

Dana Scully

I saw it. The woods have gone silent again.

[ rustling ]

Jeff Glaser

I got it! I got it on my screen.

Fox Mulder

Where? Where!

Jeff Glaser

About 30 yards ahead. It's just sitting there. What is he doing?

Dana Scully

Talk to him.

Jeff Glaser

This is not a good idea.

Dana Scully

Talk to him, Jeff!

Jeff Glaser

Go to your right. It just disappeared.

Dana Scully

Mulder, it's not on the screen.

Fox Mulder

Scully, I lost it.

Dana Scully

I got it!

Fox Mulder

Did you hit it?

Dana Scully

I don't know. It just stopped.

Fox Mulder

Where's glaser? How many shots did you fire?

Dana Scully

Six, maybe seven.

Fox Mulder

That your only clip?

Dana Scully

Yep.

Fox Mulder

Don't fire again unless you're sure you're gonna hit it. It may be trying to spend our advantage.

Dana Scully

What the hell is it, Mulder?

Fox Mulder

I don't know. But whatever it is, it's smarter than us. At least out here.

[ gasps ]

Dana Scully

Mulder? Mulder!

Fox Mulder

Scully! Scully!

Dana Scully

Mulder?

Fox Mulder

Scully!

Dana Scully

You okay?

Scene 09

Scene 09

Dana Scully

You were an indian guide. Help me out here.

Fox Mulder

Indian guide says maybe you should run to the store and get some matches.

Dana Scully

I would, but I left my wallet in the car.

Fox Mulder

What are you doing?

Dana Scully

Trying to open my gun. If I can separate the shell from the casing, maybe I can get the powder to ignite.

Fox Mulder

And maybe it'll start raining weenies and marshmallows.

Dana Scully

Do I detect a hint of negativity?

Fox Mulder

No! Yes, actually. Yeah.

Dana Scully

Mulder, you need to keep warm. Your body's still in shock.

Fox Mulder

I was told once that the best way to regenerate body heat... Is to crawl naked into a sleeping bag with somebody else who was already naked.

Dana Scully

Maybe if it rained sleeping bags, you'll get lucky. You ever thought seriously about dying?

Fox Mulder

Once when I was at the ice capades.

Dana Scully

When I was fighting my cancer, I was angry at the injustice of it... And its meaninglessness. Then I realized that that was a struggle-- to give it meaning... To make sense of it. It's like life.

Fox Mulder

I think nature is supremely indifferent to whether we live or die. I mean, if you're lucky you get 75 years, if you're really lucky you get 80. If you're extraordinarily lucky, you get 50 of those years with a decent head of hair.

Dana Scully

I guess it is like las vegas. The house always wins. Oh! ♪ ta-da ♪♪

Fox Mulder

Go, girl. Hey, who did you identify with when you were a kid-- wilma or Betty?

Dana Scully

I identified with Betty's bustline.

Fox Mulder

Yes! I did too.

Dana Scully

I could never have been married to barney, though. The kids were cute.

Fox Mulder

Yeah, but where are they today?

Dana Scully

"moth men"? Really?

Fox Mulder

Yeah. But there seem to be only two of 'em. I don't wanna wrestle.

Dana Scully

Get over here. I'm gonna try and keep you warm. Sorry.

Fox Mulder

One of us has got to stay awake, Scully.

Dana Scully

You sleep, Mulder.

Fox Mulder

If you get tired, you wake me.

Dana Scully

I'm not gonna get tired.

Fox Mulder

Why don't you sing something?

Dana Scully

No, Mulder.

Fox Mulder

If you sing something, I'll know you're awake.

Dana Scully

You don't want me to sing. I can't carry a tune.

Fox Mulder

It doesn't matter. Just sing anything.

Dana Scully

♪ jeremiah was a bullfrog ♪ ♪ was a good friend of mine ♪ ♪ never understood a single word he said ♪ ♪ but I helped him drink his wine ♪

Fox Mulder

Chorus.

Dana Scully

♪ joy... To the world ♪ ♪ all the boys and girls ♪ ♪ joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea ♪ ♪ joy to you and me ♪♪

Scene 10

Scene 10

Fox Mulder

Scully?

Dana Scully

Here. Over here!

Fox Mulder

What are you doing?

Dana Scully

Looking for food. I found some wild berries.

Fox Mulder

I wouldn't go far.

Dana Scully

Mulder, you never left my sight.

[ groan ]

Fox Mulder

Scully? Scully? Scully? Scully!

Dana Scully

Down here!

Fox Mulder

Where?

[ coughing ]

Dana Scully

I fell down a hole.

Fox Mulder

You all right?

Dana Scully

Yeah. I landed on soft dirt. Kind of.

Fox Mulder

What's down there?

Dana Scully

I don't know. It's pretty dark.

[ gasps ]

Fox Mulder

Scully, what's going on? You okay?

Dana Scully

I found Michelle.

Fox Mulder

Is she alive?

Dana Scully

Not for much longer. Mulder, we have to get her out of here.

Fox Mulder

Is there a way out?

Dana Scully

I don't know. I-- I'm in some kind of a chamber. There's-- it's like... Some kind of network. Mulder?

Fox Mulder

Yeah?

Dana Scully

I'm not alone. I don't have my weapon! Mulder!

Fox Mulder

Hold on. I'm gonna drop my gun down.

[ rustling ]

Fox Mulder

Ow!

Dana Scully

Jesus! Mulder, are you okay?

Fox Mulder

Don't mind me. Scully!

Dana Scully

Mulder, look. There has to be a scientific explanation for this.

[ groaning ]

Scene 11

Scene 11

Fox Mulder

Too bad we don't have any office furniture.

Dana Scully

If they could see us now.

Fox Mulder

Go, team. A hundred more bodies and we'll win the honeybaked ham.

Agent Kinsley

Agent Mulder!

Fox Mulder

We're down here!

Dana Scully

We're down here!

Agent Kinsley

What are you doing down there?

Fox Mulder

We've got injured people down here.

Dana Scully

We need a ladder.

Agent Kinsley

Right away.

Agent Stonecypher

Hey, over here.

[ siren wailing ]

Mrs. Asekoff

Dad's gonna be okay. It's gonna be okay. It's gonna be fine. I'm just gonna say good-bye.

[ siren wailing ]

Scene 12

Scene 12

Agent Kinsley

Well, we just got all the thanks when you did all the work.

Fox Mulder

On the contrary, agent Kinsley. We would've never gotten involved in this if not for you.

Agent Kinsley

Really?

Fox Mulder

Yeah. You see this?

Agent Kinsley

Yeah, I pointed that out to agent Stonecypher on the drive down.

Fox Mulder

There was something in the cave that Scully fell into, an inscription. "ad noctum."

Agent Kinsley

That's latin.

Fox Mulder

Yeah. It means, "into darkness." the spanish conquistadors used to carve it on the post... That they would lash the natives to as a warning.

Agent Kinsley

So, who are you saying wrote this?

Fox Mulder

Ponce de leon came here 450 years ago looking for the fountain of youth.

Agent Kinsley

You mean, you think that that body, the one that agent Scully shot-- no.

Fox Mulder

After 400 years in the woods, don't you think they might have adapted perfectly to their environment?

Agent Kinsley

You're making this up.

Fox Mulder

Why do you say that?

Agent Kinsley

'cause you work on the X-Files and you just want to write off your motel.

Agent Stonecypher

Search and rescue are still unable to find Jeff glaser... Or the second predator that you reported.

Fox Mulder

I wouldn't be surprised if they couldn't find either one of them.

Agent Stonecypher

Agent Mulder, I'm confused. Why would they come after the boy in the house that night?

Fox Mulder

These predators have been in these woods for a long, long time. They would've perceived any encroachment on their territory as an enemy, even a little kid like that.

Agent Stonecypher

But that would mean that they'd come after any one of us... That had gone into the woods, wouldn't it?

Fox Mulder

Where's agent Scully?

Agent Stonecypher

She got a lift back to the motel to pack up both your things.

Fox Mulder

She did? Excuse me.

Agent Kinsley

My jacket's in that car.

Scene 13

Scene 13

Fox Mulder

Scully! Scully!

Dana Scully

Mulder, what's going on?

Fox Mulder

Let's get outta here. Okay. You pack everything?

Dana Scully

Yeah.
