GOODLAND, FLORIDA

Sara

Evan! Evan! Where are you? Evan! Evan! Evan! Evan, hurry, please!

Evan

Nothing's coming out!

Radio Announcer

Again, our lead story. Tropical storm leroy has been upgraded to hurricane leroy. The entire gulf coast--

Sara

Damn it.

[ water gurgling ]

Evan

Mom, is dad gonna be all right? Mom! What about dad? Mom, what about dad?

Sara

We need water, Evan, right now!

Evan

Mom!

Sara

Just do as I say, Evan! Come help me. Help me pull the washer out. Please, Evan, just help me.

Evan

Mom, reggie's back here.

Sara

Evan, let the cat alone. Okay, unplug the machine, honey. Unplug the machine. Pull that hose out of the wall. I'm gonna pull. I need you to get behind the machine and push. All right, I'm gonna pull. I want you to push. We're gonna tip the washing machine over. We need to dump the water out. All right, honey, push! Push! Push, Evan! [ washing machine slams down ] push, Evan! Are you pushing? Evan! Evan, answer me! Evan?

Evan

Mom! Mom!

Sara

Evan? Let him go! Let go of him! Let go of him! Let him go! Oh, god. Let him go! [ screams ]

[ grunting, screaming ]

[ phone rings ]

Scene 02

Scene 02

Mulder’s Answering Machine

Hi, this is Fox Mulder. You can leave me a message after the beep. [ machine beeps ]

Arthur Dales

Agent Mulder, this is Arthur Dales calling from florida. I don't know if you're watching the news, but we're in for a hell of a blow... In the next 12 to 24. I've been through hurricanes. Been through the alphabet. But I just got a distress call from my neighbor down the road to set my teeth on edge. You don't have much time to get to the airport, but if you're the X-Files man you say you are, you'd better get your butt in gear.

Scene 03

TERRA NUEVA TRAILER PARK

Radio Announcer

An emergency response team is advising residents... To stay off the roads and either wait out the storm in a secure location... Or proceed to a county emergency shelter. Hurricane leroy remains some 20 Miles off the gulf coast, sending high winds and up to six inches of rain... Onto coastal communities. As of yet, it has unleashed none of its potential heavy destruction... On a very nervous populace from naples to fort myers. The national weather service predicts hurricane leroy will make landfall... In the next three to four hours. We'll be coming back to you in a few minutes-- [ static ]

Man 1

We got no sign of anything amiss here at the residence out on the spit. The place is all boarded up tight. Over.

Man 2

Roger that. Maybe the occupants have evacuated. Over.

Man 1

Well, that would be the shipleys, but a neighbor called and says they couldn't have gone too far without their only vehicle... Which is still in the carport out here. Over.

Man 2

Well, that sounds like a real mystery, don't it?

Arthur Dales

It sure does, you dumb fathead!

[ wind howling ]

Arthur Dales

Well, it couldn't be that all the planes out were fully loaded, huh?

Fox Mulder

Mr. Dales, there's a reason that people don't head out into hurricanes.

Arthur Dales

Yeah, the hurricane's 20 Miles offshore.

Fox Mulder

Mr. Dales, can we come in?

Arthur Dales

Come in! Who's this?

Dana Scully

Special agent Dana Scully.

Arthur Dales

Scully?

Fox Mulder

She's my partner.

Arthur Dales

Don't get too comfortable. You're gonna want to get right back out there.

Dana Scully

Out where?

Arthur Dales

Did you tell her what I told you?

Fox Mulder

Yes, but she's-- she's not the type that's easily persuaded.

Arthur Dales

Is that so?

Dana Scully

What he means is I don't hear a story about a sea monster... And automatically assume it's the lord's gospel truth.

Arthur Dales

Why did you bring her here?

Fox Mulder

She knows your reputation, your early work on the X-Files. And she has a knack for getting to the bottom of things.

Dana Scully

Apparently, so does mr. Dales.

Arthur Dales

It's a good thing I have a reputation, otherwise how could it be impugned?

Dana Scully

Look, mr. Dales, I'm sure that there is good reason for your alarm. I listened to the message that you left for agent Mulder about your friends.

Arthur Dales

Shipleys, a young couple with their son. Lives out on the end of the sandspit. Sara called me in a panic. She said that some thing in the house... Had grabbed jack, her husband.

Dana Scully

In the bathroom, you said?

Arthur Dales

Yeah, of all places.

Fox Mulder

It was your description that caused agent Scully's... Dubiousness.

Arthur Dales

No, not my description. No, that was Sara's. She said... That it had tentacles... Wrapped around her husband's neck and choking him.

Dana Scully

And you have no reason to doubt ms. Shipley's report?

Arthur Dales

No, both she and jack are marine biologists. Or at least they were. I fear the worst.

Fox Mulder

She's missing too?

Arthur Dales

Uh-huh. Yeah. I got on the horn to the local constabulary, but they're about as helpful as a fart in a windstorm. I would have gone out there myself but for my bad hip.

Fox Mulder

It's not a night that anybody should be out in.

Arthur Dales

I don't see that there's a choice. If anyone wants to get to the bottom of all this.

Dana Scully

What is it that brought you out here in the first place, mr. Dales?

Arthur Dales

I came down for the weather. Don't sneer at the mysteries of the deep, young lady. The bottom of the ocean... Is as deep and dark... As the imagination.

[ loud banging ]

Scene 04

SHIPLEY RESIDENCE

Fox Mulder

Hello? Mrs. Shipley?

Dana Scully

It looks like they had the time and the presence of mind to prepare for the hurricane.

Fox Mulder

Had the place all boarded up. It's from the inside. It makes you wonder how they got out.

Dana Scully

Hello? Mrs. Shipley? Mulder? No sign of life.

Fox Mulder

There's, uh, something on the drainpipe. I can't get it off. I don't know if I'm gonna need my gun or a harpoon here.

[ screeching ]

Unidentified speaker

Whoa!

Dana Scully

How the hell did the cat get in the washing machine?

Fox Mulder

Maybe he was taking a dip after he finished boarding up the windows.

Dana Scully

What do you think this leads to?

Fox Mulder

To the bathroom. Dales told me the wife told him that the husband... Was grabbed from the bathroom.

Dana Scully

Mrs. Shipley?

Fox Mulder

Can you give me a hand with this?

Deputy Greer

Well, howdy do. Yeah, right like that. Keep your hands up there where I can see 'em. Who are you, and what the hell do you think you're doing?

[ both muttering ]

Deputy Greer

Yeah, nice and slow.

Fox Mulder

You can put the gun down. We're FBI

Deputy Greer

Don't all the nuts roll downhill to florida?

Dana Scully

Sir, we're agents Scully and Mulder. I can show you my badge--

Deputy Greer

This is deputy greer. I'm out at the sandspit road. I've got two suspects over at the shipley residence. "b" and "e," possible foul play.

Fox Mulder

We're out here like you.

Dispatcher

No backup units available.

Deputy Greer

Roger that. I'm putting you under arrest.

Fox Mulder

We're out here looking for the shipleys too.

Deputy Greer

You have the right to remain silent.

Fox Mulder

Arthur Dales called us.

Deputy Greer

Anything you say can and will be used against you. You have a right to a lawyer. If you don't have one--

Fox Mulder

Does that name mean anything to you?

Deputy Greer

I know Dales.

Fox Mulder

All right.

Deputy Greer

I got a call from him too. Drunk as a skunk. What's new?

Dana Scully

What else would we be doing out here on a night like this?

Deputy Greer

You could be looters. For all I know, you could be part of the manson family.

[ meowing ]

Deputy Greer

Oh, no. You're gonna kill me.

Fox Mulder

No, I'm not, but I'd like to.

Dana Scully

Deputy?

Deputy Greer

It's the FBI, for real?

Dana Scully

I'll be in the car.

Deputy Greer

I gotta at least make out a report.

Fox Mulder

No, no. Not before you help me finish what you interrupted.

Deputy Greer

Yes, sir. May I have my gun, please? Thank you.

Fox Mulder

Come on.

Dana Scully

Yeah. No, thank you.

Fox Mulder

No one in the bathroom. The deputy helped me pull off the plywood. There's no sign of anything, except more of that slime in the bathtub... And maybe three inches of water on the floor. It's like somebody left the taps running before they boarded up the door.

Dana Scully

Great. They're threatening to close the airport. We'd better get out of here.

Fox Mulder

Aren't you even curious what happened to these people?

Dana Scully

Yes, I'm curious, Mulder, but I'm also suspicious. I mean, I-I think that mr. Dales's story is fueled by more than his imagination... And not much deeper than the bottom of a highball.

Fox Mulder

Don't dismiss him so easily. He discovered the X-Files 40 years ago. He's seen things that I've only read about.

Dana Scully

Because sea monsters can only be read about. Because they don't exist.

Fox Mulder

If the sea is where life began, where our ancestors first walked ashore, then who's to say what new life may be developing... In its uncharted depths?

Dana Scully

You know what? Maybe you are a member of the manson family. Mulder, look. There is nothing more for us to do here. There's nothing that local law enforcement can't do for us. These people are missing, there's nowhere else to look. I've done my duty for mr. Dales, for my conscience. I mean, haven't you?

Fox Mulder

Well, we should at least tell him we're giving up. Shouldn't we?

Deputy Greer

Sea monsters. FBI agents. I'm the one who could use a drink.

[ siren wailing ]

Scene 05

Scene 05

Road Block Deputy

Howdy do, folks. You're gonna have to turn around, find someplace dry to spend the night.

Fox Mulder

What's the problem?

Road Block Deputy

The road's washed out up ahead.

Dana Scully

This is an emergency.

Road Block Deputy

I understand, ma'am. But unless your car has wings, there's no gettin' through on this road.

Dana Scully

What about the airport? Is there an alternate route?

Road Block Deputy

Airport? Not tonight. This hurricane's really bearin' down on us. We got trees, power lines down all over. You folks really shouldn't be out here. I want you to drive to the first safe place you can find, understand?

Dana Scully

Sir, it's important that we evacuate the area. We're FBI agents. We need to get to where we're going.

Road Block Deputy

Don't all the nuts roll downhill to florida?

Dana Scully

I'll be happy to show you my ID

Fox Mulder

Thank you, sir. I appreciate the concern.

Dana Scully

Mulder!

Fox Mulder

That was just one "howdy do" over the line.

Scene 06

THE BREAKERS CONDOMINIUMS

Dispatcher

Car 54, please report back to base.

Deputy Greer

Yeah, this is car 54. I'm over at nance road. Over.

Dispatcher

We're askin' all mobile units to stay off the roads... Due to extreme weather conditions forecast for the next three to four hours, includin' a flash flood warning now in effect for collier county. Over.

Deputy Greer

10-4. Gonna make a quick stop in at the breakers condo complex. Looks like some folks are stranded without power. Over. Deputy greer, county sheriff! If you're home, please answer the door! If you can hear me, but you can't answer the door, call 9-1-1, tell 'em you need help. Hello! Deputy greer, county sheriff! If you're home, answer the door! If you can hear me, but can't answer the door, call 9-1-1, tell 'em you need help! Hello? Hello. Is somebody here?

[ sloshing sound ]

Deputy Greer

Sir? Ma'am? My god.

[ screaming ]

[ grunting, gasping ]

[ grunting continues ]

Scene 07

Scene 07

Dana Scully

Hello?

Fox Mulder

The good thing about zero visibility, Scully? It can't get any worse.

Dana Scully

Is this the collier county sheriff? Yes. No, hi. We're-- we're driving on, uh--

Fox Mulder

Nance road. N-a-n-c-e road.

Dana Scully

Nance road. No, it isn't very smart, is it? No-- yes, that would be much appreciated. He's going to guide us to the nearest emergency shelter.

Fox Mulder

Not a moment too soon.

Dana Scully

Hello? Hello-- no service.

Fox Mulder

You know, Scully, someday... We're gonna look back on this and we're gonna laugh. Just think of it as man pitted against the forces of nature. Think of it as a test of our mettle.

Dana Scully

I don't need my mettle tested.

[ clattering ]

Dana Scully

What was that?

Fox Mulder

I think that was a tree branch. The debris is starting to fly.

Dana Scully

Mulder, we have to pull over. We have to wait out this storm somewhere away from the trees.

Fox Mulder

We're not gonna dodge trees in a parked car. If we're driving, we're a moving target.

Dana Scully

We don't know where we are, and we don't know where we're going.

Fox Mulder

There's somebody I think is about to give us directions. Who says there's never a cop when you need one?

Dana Scully

Mulder, isn't that--

Fox Mulder

Forrest gump.

Dana Scully

Deputy? Hello! Anybody-- Mulder, he's in here. Can you talk to me?

[ gasping ]

Dana Scully

You having trouble breathing? This man needs a trach, or he's going to die real soon.

Fox Mulder

I've heard of passing the time. Ouch.

Unidentified speaker

Okay.

Dana Scully

All right, I need you to hold his head real steady. Deputy, just try and relax. Okay. Here we go.

Fox Mulder

Looks like he was attacked or stung. What are those?

Dana Scully

I don't know, but he's... Having a reaction which is affecting his autonomic response.

Fox Mulder

Whatever it was, I think it came through the plumbing, the toilet.

Dana Scully

All I know is we have to get a medevac unit out here as soon as possible.

Fox Mulder

If it's in the plumbing, I gotta make sure nobody else is in this building.

Dana Scully

This is special agent Dana Scully with the federal bureau of investigation. I need a medevac unit out here a.s.a.p. I have an officer in need of emergency medical assistance.

Operator

Please state your name again, ma'am.

Dana Scully

My name is Dana Scully. I'm a medical doctor. Scully! Requesting a medevac unit for a sheriff's deputy who is injured.

Operator

You have a deputy down?

Dana Scully

I have a deputy who's been attacked by something as yet unidentified.

Arthur Dales

Unidentified? My ass.

Operator

What is his condition?

Dana Scully

His vitals are weak and he's in shock. I need him taken to a hospital right away.

Fox Mulder

Excuse me, sir. Is everything okay in your apartment?

Dougie

Uh, yeah, yeah. It's all good.

Fox Mulder

You need some help... With your television?

[ door hinges creaking ]

Walter

I thought I heard voices. Thank god. We didn't think anybody was coming. Are you the doctors?

Fox Mulder

No. Do you need medical help?

Walter

Yeah. We called 9-1-1, but no one came. Everyone else is already evacuated, but we don't have a car. Then the phone died.

Fox Mulder

Who's "we"? Who are you talking about?

Walter

Uh, my-my wife and I. She's pregnant, a week past her due date. My god. I hope one of you has a car.

Fox Mulder

You don't know this man, mr.--

Walter

Uh, suarez. Walter suarez. Uh, no. He's not with you?

Dougie

I'll put it back.

Fox Mulder

Yeah. Everything in your pockets too.

Walter

She's right over here. Right this way. Angela, this is mr., um--

Fox Mulder

Mulder. Stay there, mrs. Suarez. We're gonna make sure your baby makes it safely into the world.

Angela

Thank you, but I'm not in labor. And my name is not suarez. It's villareal. He tells people I'm his wife, like he's so macho.

Fox Mulder

Uh, Walter, Angela, I'm gonna have to ask you to come downstairs with me.

Angela

Why, you got a car? Oh, Walter here doesn't have a car, not to mention a job.

Fox Mulder

Right now I just want to get you someplace where I know you'll be safe.

Angela

From what?

Fox Mulder

I don't know. But whatever it is, it may have seriously injured a sheriff's deputy.

Walter

Who? Where?

Fox Mulder

In the manager's apartment. It could be in the complex's plumbing right now.

Walter

In the plumbing?

Angela

Oh, that's great. I have to go to the bathroom about every ten seconds.

Fox Mulder

Kid's gonna be a fighter. Anybody else in the complex that you know about?

Walter

No one. Oh, there's George.

Fox Mulder

George?

Walter

Yeah, George Vincent. He lives on the first floor. I went and asked him for help, but he just yells, "go away!" he never listens to no one.

Fox Mulder

He's gonna wanna listen to me.

Angela

[ Angela ] Walter!

Walter

Better go.

Fox Mulder

That's for you. Mr. Vincent! George Vincent.

George Vincent

Quit bangin' on the damn door!

Fox Mulder

I'm a federal agent. I'm asking you to open the door.

George

Ask away, then go away!

Fox Mulder

Mr. Vincent, your life may be in danger if you refuse to leave your apartment.

George

You may be in danger if you refuse to quit harassing me! I'm armed in here, and I'm within my rights.

Fox Mulder

That's great. But you may not be armed for what it is I'm talking about.

George

What the hell are you talkin' about, hmm? It don't matter. I'm armed against it. The junta, cuba and castro. I'm not gonna cede my home to no revolutionaries without a fight. You got anything else you want to throw at me? Bring it on.

Fox Mulder

All the nuts roll down to florida.

Dana Scully

He's had some kind of foreign organism released into his body. His condition's worsening.

Angela

I can see that. What the hell was chewing on his neck?

Dana Scully

I don't know. It may have been some kind of a waterborne parasite.

Angela

You see that? You see what happens when you live in a dump?

Walter

Where's harry?

Dana Scully

I'm sorry. I don't know who harry is.

Angela

The slumlord who owns this place.

Dana Scully

He may have evacuated.

Angela

Harry? Right. And I'm giving birth to the christ child.

Walter

Harry's legs hardly work. He's gotta use those crutches.

Angela

He don't have no car. Nobody likes him 'cause he never lifts a finger on this rat trap.

Fox Mulder

Scully, can I talk to you for a second?

Dana Scully

Yeah.

Angela

Now, who are you?

Dougie

Nobody.

Angela

Nobody? It is so nice to be surrounded by so many great men.

Fox Mulder

We gotta get out of here as soon as possible.

Dana Scully

We can't.

Fox Mulder

We can put the deputy in his car and take him to the hospital.

Dana Scully

I just got off the radio. They won't even chance sending a rescue vehicle at this time. The roads are impassable, and I don't even know if the deputy is movable.

Fox Mulder

You mean we're stuck here?

Dana Scully

It looks that way, at least until the weather breaks.

George

Federal agents! Federal fascists! Better not tramp on the rights of the common man. No need for them.

Unidentified speaker

Sure.

George

Violence in pursuit of freedom is no vice.

Scene 08

Scene 08

Dana Scully

I don't think these wounds are bites or stings. There's something in here, Mulder, right under the skin. Tongs. Mulder, what's his temperature?

Fox Mulder

Either he's got no temperature, or he's about to spontaneously combust.

Dana Scully

You're not far off. It's 106. Okay, somebody fill the tub with cold water... And find as much ice as they can in the freezer.

Dougie

But that thing is in the plumbing.

Dana Scully

It may be, but unless we get his temperature down, he's not gonna survive this. Now, get moving.

[ groaning ]

Dana Scully

I need a container. Mulder, lift him up. We have to get him into the tub.

[ pipes groaning ]

[ gunshot ]

[ man yells ]

[ gunshots ]

Fox Mulder

[ gunshots continues ] mr. Vincent?

[ gunshot ]

[ gunshots ]

[ shouting ]

[ whimpering ]

Fox Mulder

Drop your weapon! Put it down!

George

It's gonna take a whole lot more than this to kill whatever it is I just saw. I don't know what the hell it was, but it came down out of there.

Fox Mulder

You didn't see it?

George

I caught it out of the corner of my eye, but it swooped down at me.

Dana Scully

All that happened here is a sewage pipe burst.

George

No, this thing came at me.

Fox Mulder

That looks like the four-inch tie-in to the second floor. Whatever it is didn't just rip through the ceiling. Looks like it went right through the pipe.

Walter

Where did it go?

Fox Mulder

I don't know. Must still be in the building. -probably in the outflow system. -

Walter

Maybe it'll just flow back out.

George

Maybe it'll come up through the can and grab you by the nugs.

Fox Mulder

Someone's already got him by the nugs.

Dana Scully

Look, whatever this thing is, there's no evidence yet that it's gonna kill anybody.

Walter

What about the man in the bathtub?

Dana Scully

The man in the bathtub may very well be saved if he can last out this storm. In fact, we may all be safe if we just remain calm.

Angela

Remain calm? I gotta pee so bad, my back teeth are swimming.

[ grunts ]

Dougie

Victory.

Dana Scully

How is he?

Dougie

He-he's good.

Angela

[ grunting ] super tanker coming through.

Walter

Angela, you can't go in there.

Angela

My bladder is pressing against your unborn child, Walter. He's gonna have a head like a tortilla.

Walter

This thing is in the plumbing!

Angela

The volume alone could push it right back out to sea.

Fox Mulder

Scully, that's how this thing is here. The hurricane is sitting offshore dredging up god knows what. This thing must have been driven into the city's reclamation system... Through some offshore outfall pipe. From there it gained access to the sewer pipes in this building.

Dana Scully

We'll be waiting for you out here.

Angela

Thank you!

Dana Scully

Mulder, nothing here convinces me--

Angela

I know you probably can't hear me, but no listening anyway, okay?

Fox Mulder

Scully, something welled up out of the uncharted depths of the ocean, something that has been lying there undiscovered for ages probably.

Dana Scully

There is no evidence of any creature here. Those organisms might just simply be waterborne parasites. But something from jules verne they are not.

Angela

[ screaming ] I saw it! I saw it! It's in the tub with the deputy. It has giant arms like an octopus.

Dana Scully

Mulder?

George

What the hell is it?

Fox Mulder

He's gone.

Dana Scully

It's gone?

Fox Mulder

No. He's gone. The deputy.

Dana Scully

Where did he go?

Fox Mulder

I think the deputy went out with the bathwater.

George

You mean he was in there with it?

Fox Mulder

No, I don't think he was.

Walter

She said she saw it.

Fox Mulder

I'm sure she did. Look, Scully. I think I know why nobody's ever seen this thing before. It just doesn't live in water. It is water, taking shape only when it attacks, like it did when the hurricane backed seawater into the plumbing, virtually unseeable until then.

Dana Scully

Mulder, if that were true, then this wouldn't be visible, would it? I mean, what this is showing us is that water actually attempts to kill it.

Fox Mulder

Maybe you just impeded its reproductive process. It needs time to complete its cycle, like it had with the shipleys.

Dana Scully

The shipleys weren't even in their house.

Fox Mulder

They were when they were attacked, just like the deputy was here. Using their bodies to lay its own spawn. Using the body's water content to reproduce itself, to make itself anew.

Walter

You mean he turned into one of those things?

Angela

They're more of them?

Fox Mulder

We gotta get out of here.

Dana Scully

We're in the middle of a hurricane.

Fox Mulder

We gotta get to another building.

Dana Scully

We can't. There's no way we can transport everybody.

Fox Mulder

Use the deputy's prowler. How many people? We got two, four-- son of a bitch.

Walter

The looter?

Dana Scully

Mulder?

Fox Mulder

Yeah?

Dana Scully

Mulder, if we're gonna leave, we should leave now.

Scene 09

Scene 09

Dana Scully

Mulder? Hey, Mulder, are you okay? Hey, wait a second. What are you doing?

George

I am saving our lives.

Dana Scully

That's my partner out there!

George

If he's your partner, he should have listened to you.

Dana Scully

You can't leave him there!

George

I'm not letting him in here.

Dana Scully

He's gonna die!

Walter

-what are you gonna do for him? -

Dana Scully

I can at least keep him breathing.

Walter

You couldn't save the deputy.

Dana Scully

Look, at least let me try. I'm a medical doctor.

Angela

That's good, because my water just broke.

[ sloshing sound ]

Walter

You're going to be okay.

Angela

Yeah, that's easy for you to say.

George

Isn't much of a choice, really, is it?

Dana Scully

We're gonna need water. If I'm gonna deliver this baby, you can put that gun down.

George

How do we know you're really a doctor?

Dana Scully

You don't. The truth is, I've never delivered a baby before, so stand back or make yourself useful, but stay out of my way.

Walter

[ screaming ] long, even breaths.

Dana Scully

You got it. Breathe. Breathe. Okay, Angela, I'm gonna need you to push, okay? I need you to help me help you. Okay, so let's push. [ Angela screaming ]

[ screaming continues ]

Dana Scully

You got it. You got it. You're on the right track. [ groaning ] I need some towels, please. I need some towels, damn it.

[ Angela panting ]

Dana Scully

You're doing good. You're doing good. Okay. You're doing good. Okay. Let's go. Okay, push! [ screaming ]

[ cat meowing ]

[ gasping ]

[ wheezing ]

[ Angela panting ]

Dana Scully

I can feel it up there!

Walter

She can feel it up there!

Dana Scully

Yeah, okay. Come on.

Unidentified speaker

Push!

Dana Scully

Good. You got it. Okay. Here it comes.

Walter

Here it comes!

Dana Scully

Here it comes. It's coming! Okay.

George

Hey, lady, what are you doing?

Dana Scully

It's the water.

Walter

What? What?

Dana Scully

It's the water!

Angela

I'm having it! I'm having it! I'm having it!

Dana Scully

Okay! Okay!

Angela

I'm having it!

Dana Scully

Push!

Angela

I'm having it! [ screaming ]

Dana Scully

Hurry. Push. Push!

[ screaming ]

Dana Scully

Okay!

[ screaming ]

Dana Scully

Okay, pick up the gun.

[ George screams ]

Dana Scully

Pick up the gun! Shoot out the sprinklers! Just point and shoot! Shoot out the sprinkler!

[ gasping ]

[ screams ]

[ gunshot ]

Dana Scully

My name is Dana Scully.

Scene 10

Scene 10

Arthur Dales

Yes.

Dana Scully

Thank you.

Arthur Dales

Yes. Ew, god. That's terrible.

Dana Scully

Well, it's official. Ten pounds, ten ounces of piss and vinegar. El niño grande. Leroy Walter villareal suarez, jr.

Fox Mulder

Oh, no.

Dana Scully

Oh, yes.

Arthur Dales

Oh, it's amazing. It's truly amazing.

Dana Scully

What's that?

Arthur Dales

That you could come here in the face of a hurricane, chasing a sea monster yet, and end up bringing a new life into the world. And then slaying the monster... And save this one's life... As he was quite literally circling down the drain.

Fox Mulder

She didn't save my life, really.

Arthur Dales

Oh, yes, she did. Yes. With a gun to her head, no less.

Dana Scully

Well, you wouldn't have known to go out in the rain... If I hadn't pointed it out to you, and it was the fresh water that killed the organism.

Fox Mulder

No, no, no. I saw the shipleys' cat.

Arthur Dales

I can't swallow that.

Fox Mulder

No, I saw the cat which had been saved, which had been in the washing machine. The shipleys had boarded up their house, which means that the only way that they could have vanished was if the creature came up... Through the plumbing in a backwash of seawater. Seawater, and then the deputy... Who vanished from a bathtub full of epsom salts.

Arthur Dales

If agent Scully had not been there with you, I shudder to think what would have happened to you. I'd say you owe her your life. It takes a big man to admit this, but... If I had had someone... As savvy as her by my side... All those years ago in the X-Files, I might not have retired. I suggest that we have a toast to your good fortune. And I insist that we have it. So what'll it be?

Arthur Dales

Oh, uh, anyone for water?

Dana Scully

No!
