Gary Lambert
Hello, may I speak to mr. Zachary Llosa?
Llosa
It's yo-sa, not llo-sa. Speaking.
Gary Lambert
Hello, mr. Yo-sa. I'm calling on behalf of the vinylright corporation, which would like to put a crisp $100 bill into your hand... By 5:00 tomorrow evening.
Llosa
Yeah, listen. I'm not really interested at this time.
Gary Lambert
Yes, sir, $100, all for allowing us the privilege... Of introducing you to vinylright siding, the thousand-year siding that never needs painting or maintenance.
Llosa
Look, man, I'm really not interested.
Gary Lambert
Manufactured in america from space-age polymers, it beautifies while it protects, while it adds to the resale value of your home.
Llosa
Look, I said I'm not interested. I have to go now. I have to go. Sorry.

Yo, Gary. Dial and smile, Gary. See, if you're not smiling, they can hear it.
Nancy
If you're not smiling, they can hear it. Jerk. Yes, mr. Valenzuela, I'm calling on behalf of the vinylright corporation. We would like to put a crisp $100 bill into your hands... By 5:00 tomorrow evening. [ phone dialing, line ringing ]

Hello? M-
Gary Lambert
Mrs. Edith loach?
Elderly Woman
Yep, that's me.
Gary Lambert
Hello, mrs. Loach. I'm calling on behalf of the vinylright corporation, which would like to put a crisp $100 bill into your hand... By 5:00 tomorrow evening.
Elderly Woman
You want to give me a hundred dollars? Why?
[ fluttering sound ]
Elderly Woman

Gary Lambert
Yes, ma'am. One hundred dollars. All for allowing us the privilege of introducing you to vinylright siding, the thousand-year siding that never needs painting or maintenance. Manufactured in america from--

Scene 02
FBI HEADQUARTERS
Secretary
Sir, agents Mulder and Scully are here.
Walter Skinner
Send them in.
Dana Scully
Sir?
Walter Skinner
Agents, have a seat.
[ door closes ]
Walter Skinner
I need you to go to chicago as soon as possible... To perform a threat assessment.
Dana Scully
A threat assessment for whom?
Walter Skinner
Vinylright. They make siding. Their telemarketing hub in oak brook was the focus... Of an anonymous audiotaped manifesto, one which threatened violence. Apparently, several years back, they had an incident in another office, a disgruntled Employee with a gun. They feel they can't be too careful.
Fox Mulder
Why can't the chicago field office take care of it?
Walter Skinner
Because I prefer you did.
Fox Mulder
Because the manifesto contains bizarre overtones, claims of a paranormal nature?
Walter Skinner
It speaks of a monster stalking employees. Your insight into such claims should aid... In assessing the threat, if any, posed by this person.
Fox Mulder
Monsters. I'm your boy. Must have done something to piss him off.
Dana Scully
What do you mean?
Fox Mulder
Get stuck with this jerk-off assignment. Or have I finally reached that magic point in my career... Where every time somebody sees bigfoot... Or the virgin mary on a tortilla, I get called out of my basement warren to offer my special insight on the matter.
Dana Scully
You're saying "I" a lot. I heard "we." nor do I assume that this case is just a waste of our time.
Fox Mulder
Not yours, anyway. There's no reason both of us should go to chicago. I'll take care of it.
Dana Scully
Mulder!
Fox Mulder
I'm monster boy, right?
Scene 03
Scene 03
Greg Pincus
This was forwarded to us by a local Radio station. Whoever sent it wanted them to play it over and over again, 24 hours a day. They elected not to.
Gary Lambert (recorded)
Attention, people of illinois. This is a warning of the utmost urgency. At vinylright, 12340 wabash terrace in oak brook, there is a monster-- an evil one that preys on the people there. But they can't see it because it hides in the light. I see it. I know where to look. I can't be the only one. We all must hunt it down and kill it. Because if we don't, it will take us all.
Fox Mulder
You recognize the voice?
Greg Pincus
We have 96 employees. Anyway, I'm hoping it's not one of our people. But I don't know who else it would be.
Fox Mulder
Your company had a violent incident in its recent history?
Greg Pincus
We have a plant in kansas city. Back in '94, one of the warehouse guys came in with a gun, threatened everybody. I think it was over a woman.
Fox Mulder
May I borrow the tape?
Greg Pincus
Keep it. So, I know our home office has to call you guys for insurance reasons. But this is probably just a crank, right? Some Guy making a joke?
Fox Mulder
It's best to err on the side of caution. Can you hire security for the building?
Greg Pincus
If you think we need to. I'm also conducting my own internal investigation-- interviewing employees, seeing if they're happy.
Fox Mulder
Use your best judgment. I'll be in touch.
Dana Scully
Scully.
Fox Mulder
Hi, it's me. I need you to check on something.
Dana Scully
What?
Fox Mulder
It's a phrase-- "hiding in the light." it's on this tape that I'm looking into.
Dana Scully
The case that's a total waste of time?
Fox Mulder
Yes, and I didn't say that it wasn't. "to hide in the light" or "hiding in the light"-- some form of that. I think it's in an old case file somewhere that I've got hidden away.
Dana Scully
Which one? There's hundreds.
Fox Mulder
I'm not sure, but I appreciate it.
[ dial tone ]
[ phone hangs up ]
Dana Scully
"hiding in the light."
Greg Pincus
Nancy aaronson, come to my office, please.
Nancy
Uh-oh. Now I did it.
Gary Lambert
Nancy.
Nancy
Yeah?
Greg Pincus
Nancy aaronson, come to my office, please.
Nancy
What, Gary?
Gary Lambert
Don't.
Nancy
Don't what? Gary, I love you, buddy, but you're really, really weird.
[ fluttering ]
[ Nancy screaming ]
Greg Pincus
Dial and smile, Gary. Mark backus, come to my office, please. Mark backus, come to my office, please.
Nancy
See? Nothing to it. He just wants to say hi to everybody. He's going alphabetically.
Greg Pincus
Hey, Gary. Gary Lambert.
Scene 04
FBI FIELD OFFICE
Gary Lambert (recorded)
...wabash terrace in oak brook, there is a monster, an evil one, that preys on the people there. But they can't see it because it hides in the light. I see it. I know where to look. I can't be the only one.
[ rewinding ]
Gary Lambert (recorded)
Urgency. At vinylright, 12340 wabash terrace in oak brook, there is a monster, an evil one that preys on the people there. But they can't see it because it hides in the light. I see it. I know where to look. I can't be the only one. We all must hunt it down and kill it. Because if we don't, it will take us all.
[ ringing ]
Fox Mulder
Mulder.
Dana Scully
"hiding in the light." that was a phrase spoken by one jerrold resnick... To a lakeland, florida, police investigator... On august 9, 1992.
Fox Mulder
What was he describing?
Dana Scully
Well, mr. Resnick was a deacon of his local church. And apparently he was concerned that... There was an evil presence amongst his parishioners, and that he alone was aware of that fact.
Fox Mulder
He was trying to warn them?
Dana Scully
Not as such. He showed up for mass one sunday with four handguns. He began wounding people, saying, "the afflicted ones wouldn't bleed." he committed suicide a week later in his cell.
Fox Mulder
Scully, at the risk of you telling me "I told you so," I think it's time for you to get down here and help me.
Dana Scully
I told you so.

Fox Mulder
Hello? Hello?

Gary Lambert
Who are you?

Scene 06
Scene 06
Dana Scully
Who's the Agent in charge?
Agent
Agent Rice. Tall Guy in the suit.
Dana Scully
I'm Scully, Agent Mulder's partner. What can you tell me?
Agent Rice
Not much. TV news got the call. That man's voice told them they were gonna need to broadcast a stunning revelation. Since then, we keep ringing the phones, but nobody answers.
Dana Scully
Who's inside?
Agent Rice
We can't be sure of the total. It happened over lunch hour, so it could have been worse. The lot's only got 18 cars in it. One of them's a rental, registered to an Agent Mulder.
Swat Agent
We're about to try him on his cell phone.
Dana Scully
No. Not until we get a clearer idea of the situation.
Swat Agent
There's a small cafeteria in the building. We think our Guy's got everyone barricaded. He couldn't have picked a better spot. One door, no windows. We're not gonna get a clearer idea of the situation unless someone in there talks to us.
Dana Scully
If you make a phone call right now, it could compromise Agent Mulder. Sir, we need to find another way.
[ people screaming ]
Gary Lambert
Move! Now get down. Down. Everybody stop crying. Just shut up! Everybody needs to be afraid of him. He's the one that's out to get you. I'm protecting you.
Nancy
Gary, what are you talking about?
Gary Lambert
Shut up! I'm not addressing you. I'm addressing the actual people over here, okay? I'm not talking to you... Or you or you!
Fox Mulder
Why should we be afraid of mr. Pincus, Gary? I'd really like to hear what you have to say.
Gary Lambert
Who are you, anyway?
Fox Mulder
My name is Mulder.
Gary Lambert
You said that already. What are you doing here?
Fox Mulder
Applying for a job.
Gary Lambert
[ Gary chuckles ] oh, man. Did you come to the wrong place.
Fox Mulder
I get that. Why should we be afraid of mr. Pincus, Gary?
Gary Lambert
Because he's a monster. Only you can't see that... Because he's clouded all your minds. But he means to take us all, one by one. Harvest our souls. Make us into his zombies. Robots made out of meat.
Greg Pincus
God almighty.
Fox Mulder
Gary, I want to believe that you're protecting us, but, uh, I'm kind of afraid of that rifle. It makes it hard for us actual people to concentrate on what you're saying.
Gary Lambert
Why are you talking to me like I'm a three-year-old? Don't act like you understand what I'm talking about, because you don't. But you will.
[ fluttering ]
Gary Lambert
Shh! Everybody hold their breath. Oh, you sons of bitches.
Nancy
Oh, Gary! What are you doing?
Fox Mulder
Gary?
[ automatic gunfire ]
Swat Agent
Shots fired. Shots fired. Everybody, hold your fire! What's going on?
Agent On Radio
He made us. He's shooting. Sounds like an ak. [ gunfire continues ]
Agent Rice
We got to find out what the hell's going on in that building. I'm calling your partner.
Dana Scully
No! If it was safe to do so, he would have called us already.
Agent Rice
Agent Scully, we don't have a lot of options here.
[ gunfire continues ]
[ people screaming ]
[ cell phone ringing ]
Fox Mulder
It's just my cell phone. Let me get it.
Gary Lambert
Put your hands behind your head.
[ ringing ]
[ ringing continues ]
[ ringing continues ]
[ ringing continues ]
Gary Lambert
FBI? You happy now? Huh? You want to mess with me some more?
Agent Rice
Hello? Hello? Is anybody on the line? We heard gunfire. Is everyone all right?
Gary Lambert
I just shot a zombie. Everybody thinks I killed him, but I didn't.
Agent Rice
Who am I speaking to?
Gary Lambert
The Guy that's gonna start killing actual people... If you don't put me on the damn TV!
Agent Rice
I think he just shot a hostage.
Dana Scully
Who?
Agent Rice
He's still asking for his 15 minutes of fame.
Dana Scully
Give it to him.
Gary Lambert
Get it out of sight. You want to know why it jumped at me like that?
Fox Mulder
It's not an "it," Gary. It's a "he." it's a man you just killed. What was his name?
Man
Mark backus.
Gary Lambert
Wrong! It stopped being mark backus when he turned it into a zombie. And then he instructed it by means of mental telepathy to attack me. And so I shot it. I had no choice. But it doesn't matter, because it was already dead. He wants us all like that. Insects, not people. Mindless drones. He wants to take away who we are. To control us, so we'll be his eyes and ears... And spy on each other and help him do his dirty work.
Greg Pincus
Gary, if I'm the monster, what do you need these people for? Why don't you just let 'em all go?
Gary Lambert
You just wait till I put you on TV. Then they'll see what you are.
[ cell phone ringing ]
Fox Mulder
Answer the phone, Gary.
[ ringing ]
Gary Lambert
Dial and smile.
Agent Rice
Okay. We're sending you the Cameraman now. Just stay calm.
Gary Lambert
Finally. Let's do it.
[ phone beeps ]
Fake Anchorwoman
Warren, that is exactly what we're hearing.
Gary Lambert
All you people put your butts against the door. Hurry it up. Go! You. Get over by the camera. Move it!
Fake Anchorwoman
...momentarily to an actual live feed-- this person or people may have something important to say.
Gary Lambert
See who's getting hurt if you bust down this door?
Fake Anchorwoman
Apparently, so far there's been very little communication... Between the police and the people inside the building.
Dana Scully
Is he getting this?
Agent Rice
Yeah. Closed circuit is bouncing it right back into the building. He thinks he's gonna be a star. All right. Show us the room.
Gary Lambert
What are you doing?
Cameraman
Hold on. My battery cable's twisted.
Gary Lambert
Well, untwist it! And hurry the hell up!
Agent Rice
There! Right there! The exterior wall's clear. Entry team into position.
Gary Lambert
Lie down on the floor. Do it! [ newswoman chattering ] all right. Put me on.
Fake Anchorwoman
Okay. We're gonna cut inside. Yes, here it is. Here we go.
[ clears throat ]
Gary Lambert
People of america, a monster walks among you. Go, pan over. Get up. Now I'll show it to you.
Fox Mulder
No, Gary.
Gary Lambert
Get out of the way.
Fox Mulder
Don't do this.
Gary Lambert
Get out of the way.
Fox Mulder
Don't do this, Gary.
Gary Lambert
Get out of the way!
Fox Mulder
Put down the rifle.
Gary Lambert
Get out of the way now!
[ fluttering ]
Gary Lambert
There! Look at it! Look at it! See?

Dana Scully
You look exhausted.
Fox Mulder
No, I'm fine.
Dana Scully
Agent Rice has the situation in hand. Let's get you out of here. Mulder?
Greg Pincus
I can't begin to thank you. I owe you my life. We all do.
Fox Mulder
Do you have any idea why he fixated on you the way he did?
Greg Pincus
No. Not at all. I feel like I barely even knew the man. I mean, I try to be a good Guy to work for.
Fox Mulder
You mentioned another incident with another Employee... At a plant in kansas city in 1994?
Greg Pincus
Yes.
Fox Mulder
Were you at that plant at that time?
Greg Pincus
I wasn't there when it happened, but yeah. Didn't I mention that?
Fox Mulder
What about lakeland, florida? Have you ever lived there?
Greg Pincus
I've been there. I have relatives there. Is there anything else?
Dana Scully
Uh, no, mr. Pincus. Thank you very much for your patience. What's going on?
Fox Mulder
I don't know.
[ door opens ]
Scene 08
Scene 08
Dana Scully
Mulder, why didn't you take the day off?
Fox Mulder
Close the door. There was a reason the phrase "hiding in the light" seemed so familiar to me. I found it or variations of it in five other X-Files. "hiding in plain view," "hiding in the open," "lurking in the open"-- all to describe some manifestation of evil... Which goes unnoticed by everyone except the claimant in each case.
Dana Scully
Have you slept?
Fox Mulder
Seven cities in all, dating back ten years. Vinylright has offices within 50 Miles of four of those cities. Greg Pincus has worked for vinylright for guess for how long? Ten years.
Dana Scully
What exactly is it that you think you have here?
Fox Mulder
What if Gary Lambert was right?
Dana Scully
Mulder, you're not serious.
Fox Mulder
Just bear with me for a moment. I mean, what if such a creature existed that could camouflage itself... By clouding the minds of its victims? There are antecedents for it in nature right in the insect world. Mantis, for instance. They're said to be able to hypnotize their prey.
Dana Scully
No.
Fox Mulder
What if it could induce a visual hallucination? A sort of temporary conversion disorder?
Dana Scully
What you're describing would be more like some kind of... Visual agnosia, an inability to recognize what's before one's eyes.
Fox Mulder
Only Gary Lambert could see through it somehow, as could the others. Maybe because of some heightened adrenaline level, or maybe just because he knew where to look somehow.
Dana Scully
Mulder, he was disturbed.
Fox Mulder
Yeah, but did he see it because he was disturbed, or was he disturbed because he saw it?
Dana Scully
He was mentally ill. This monster was a-- was a sick fantasy, a product of his dementia.
Fox Mulder
I saw it too. Does that make me disturbed? Demented? Does that make me sick too?
Dana Scully
No. No, I mean, this kind of thing is not uncommon. You-- you went through a terrible ordeal. And sometimes people in close associations... Under tense conditions can-- the delusions of one can be passed on to the other.
Fox Mulder
Folie a deux? It's not that, Scully. It's not helsinki syndrome either. What I saw was real, and there may be a way to prove it.
Dana Scully
How?
Fox Mulder
Lambert pointed out certain individuals he said had been victimized by Pincus. Turned into zombies. The man he shot, backus, was one of them. If you could autopsy the body--
Dana Scully
No. No, absolutely not.
Fox Mulder
Scully, if this is all in my mind, as you say it is, I would be very grateful if you would prove that.
Dana Scully
Mulder, I am not going to serve the delusions of Gary Lambert, a madman, by giving credence to them.
Fox Mulder
Then I'll prove it without you.
Dana Scully

Agent Rice
What are we looking for?
Fox Mulder
I'll know it when I see it.
Agent Rice
What's this about?
Fox Mulder
Lambert was tracking his boss's movements over the years.
Agent Rice
Stalking him.
Fox Mulder
Gathering evidence.
Agent Rice
What is it?
Fox Mulder
Did you see her? Did you see where she went?
Agent Rice
Who? You mind telling me what's going on here?

Scene 10
Dana Scully
Sir? You wanted to see me?
Walter Skinner
Yes, I was hoping you could give me some insight into Agent Mulder's recent behavior.
Dana Scully
Sir?
Walter Skinner
Why is he back in illinois? I thought that case was closed.
Dana Scully
Agent Mulder believes that there may be a connection... Between the oak brook incident and several other cases.
Walter Skinner
But you elected not to join him. The chicago field office has been in contact with him. They describe his behavior as being erratic.
Dana Scully
To the best of my knowledge, Agent Mulder is currently working... On a legitimate investigation. I will join him in illinois immediately.
Walter Skinner
Don't you have an autopsy to do first? This body Mulder sent to quantico. Mark backus, the shooting victim. You're scheduled to do an examination. Or didn't you know that?
Dana Scully
I'll get right on it, sir.
Walter Skinner
Is there something you want to tell me, Scully?
Dana Scully
No, sir.

FBI FORENSIC PATHOLOGY LAB
Dana Scully
Let's start with the photos. In fact, let's just do photos. External exam only.
Lab Guy
This Guy came an awful long way just to have his picture taken.
Dana Scully
Knock yourself out.
Lab Guy
Case number 986522. Mark backus, 45-year-old caucasian male. [ ringing ] there are three one-centimeter gunshot entry wounds... On the left anterior chest wall... With some burn stippling present.
Dana Scully
Come on, Mulder.
Lab Guy
Judging from the corpse's resolved rigor and fixed lividity, as well as the decompositional bloating, I'd place the time of death between 48 and 72 hours.
Dana Scully
No. This man died late yesterday afternoon.
Lab Guy
Are you sure?
Dana Scully
Absolutely.
Lab Guy
It sure looks to me like he's been dead longer than that.

Gretchen
Suddenly I became aware of this... Presence. And I could feel it creeping toward me. It was terrifying. The next thing I knew, this madman's inside my house. He breaks my window, kicks in the door, and the whole time he's screaming about monsters-- I mean, even worse than Gary.
Walter Skinner
Miss starns, I apologize for this incident. I assure you it will receive my utmost attention.
Greg Pincus
Why don't you take the rest of the week, Gretchen?
Gretchen
Thank you, mr. Pincus. That man has no business carrying a gun, if you ask me.
Fox Mulder
You got to her, too, didn't you?
Walter Skinner
Agent Mulder--
Fox Mulder
I was too late. You changed her somehow. You infected her.
Walter Skinner
Agent Mulder, think very carefully about the next words that come out of your mouth. Once again, I apologize.
Greg Pincus
Oh, there's no need. I'm well aware of the stress Agent Mulder's been under, and I'm, uh-- well, I still consider him a hero. Which is why I want to handle this privately.
Walter Skinner
We appreciate that.
Greg Pincus
For my part, I'm happy to let this entire matter drop. I'm sure I can persuade miss starns to do the same, provided Agent Mulder is amenable.
Fox Mulder
You don't see what's going on here.
Walter Skinner
I'm afraid I do.
Fox Mulder
Lambert knew your secret. He knew you were sucking the humanity... Out of these people, feeding on them.
Walter Skinner
Agent Mulder, that's enough. I don't want to hear another word out of you. If you care about your career, then you'll knock this crap off. Because I guarantee I will not stand for another second of this abuse. Do you understand me--

Scene 14
CALUMET MERCY HOSPITAL
Fox Mulder
Five years together, Scully. You must have seen this coming. Did you examine backus's body? What did you find?
Dana Scully
More or less what we thought we'd find.
Fox Mulder
More or less? What is that supposed to mean?
Dana Scully
The body showed signs of decomposition beyond what we expected to find. Which in and of itself means nothing, really. Time of death is notoriously hard to quantify.
Fox Mulder
Or that Lambert was telling the truth, and that man was dead before he was gunned down.
Dana Scully
No, Mulder.
Fox Mulder
Scully, when that monster, Pincus, whatever the hell you want to call it, when he attacked that woman last night, he did something to the back of her neck. He bit her there, or he injected something in there. There's got to be evidence of that. You gotta check for that.
Dana Scully
Mulder, the case is over. There's no more evidence to be gathered. There's only my hope that you'll be able to see past this delusion.
Fox Mulder
You... Have to be willing to see.
Dana Scully
I wish it were that simple.
Fox Mulder
Scully, you have to believe me. Nobody else on this whole damn planet does or ever will. You're my one in five billion.

There is something-- there is something at the window, and it's trying to get in here. Please unstrap me so that I can stop it. Sir--

Sir, we're three floors up. There's nothing at the window.
Fox Mulder
Just... Un-undo my straps so that I can check.
Nurse
I can show you--
Fox Mulder
No, don't! No! Just, please-- please.
Nurse
See? Nothing's gonna get you.

Okay. Just, uh-- just untie me anyway, please. What are you doing?

You just need some fresh air. I can't be running in here all night, okay?

Scene 17
Walter Skinner
Agent Scully, I have to say I'm at a bit of a loss here. Do I infer correctly from this that you believe there's some... Merit to Agent Mulder's claims?
Dana Scully
I believe that Agent Mulder is mentally sound... And fit for duty. Aside from that belief, I can only present to you... The few hard facts that I've been able to gather-- that, as per Agent Mulder's assertions, a toxin has been found to have been injected into the spine... Of the shooting victim, mark backus. As of yet, we've been unable to identify it. Furthermore, gregory Pincus has apparently disappeared without a trace, along with half a dozen other key witnesses... Integral to this investigation, among them Agent Mulder's nurse at the hospital... And several of vinylright employees.
Walter Skinner
Men and women described by Mulder as zombies.
[ sighs ]
Dana Scully
I personally can vouch for the fact that... There was an intruder in Agent Mulder's hospital room.
Walter Skinner
Describe this intruder.
Dana Scully
It was dark.
Walter Skinner
You must've gotten a glimpse. What did you see?
Fox Mulder
What did you tell him?
Dana Scully
The truth, as well as I understand it.
Fox Mulder
Which is?
Dana Scully
