Dr. Couvillion
It's important that you realize sonograms are by no means an exact science. I don't wanna alarm you or have you jump to conclusions, because, honestly, it's not something we're perfectly able to explain.

HOLLINS, VIRGINIA
Laura
But I don't see anything.
Dr. Couvillion
As I said, we may be premature in a diagnosis. It may simply be... An intermediate stage of growth.
Wayne
But there's a problem.
Dr. Couvillion
We see a development: an abnormal bony formation... Involving the upper vertebrae, and something growing here on the plates of the skull.
Laura
Wayne.
Wayne
Sweetness?
Laura
It might be nothing. I'm serious. Dr. Couvillion really just wants to wait and see.
Wayne
I just want it to be normal.
Laura
Ohh, Wayne. Let's go home, okay? Come on.

Scene 03
FBI HEADQUARTERS
Deputy Arky Stevens
It's not the kind of case where I quite know where to turn, you understand. Down in hollins, we do get our share of the oddball. On the whole, though, we're pretty much like any other little town. Got your home break-ins, your smash-and-grabs. Nothin' too wild. But given the victim's statement, the unusually vivid detail, well, I just had to take Laura's word about her baby being abducted. I hear you specialize in these kind of cases.
Jeffrey Spender
You've come to the right place, deputy, uh, stevens. Now, this woman making these claims, she's your sister?
Deputy Arky Stevens
Yes, sir. Laura Weinsider.
Jeffrey Spender
Mm-hmm.
Deputy Arky Stevens
I've heard the things people've been sayin' about her-- not to my face, of course-- but real mean and awful things about what Laura's part is in all this.
Jeffrey Spender
It says here a doctor's report the day before revealed to her abnormalities in the ultrasound.
Deputy Arky Stevens
Yes, sir, that is true. But nothing conclusive, mind you.
Jeffrey Spender
I see. Okay, deputy. We're gonna put this right into our priority caseload.
Deputy Arky Stevens
Boy, I really wanna thank you. I know Laura's really itchin'... To talk to somebody who'll really listen to her.

Deputy Arky Stevens
I know this went right into your caseload, but I never imagined you'd get here so soon, agent--
Fox Mulder
Mulder. Fox Mulder. Though I ask you not to make that known to anybody. The FBI likes our work on these cases very hush-hush.
Deputy Arky Stevens
Sure. Of course. But I would like to thank agent Spender.
Fox Mulder
No, no. I'll thank him for you, 'cause I have to call in my progress report.
Deputy Arky Stevens
I hope you have something to call in.
Fox Mulder
Me too. All right.
Laura
I kept calling it a nightmare, but how many people's nightmares come true?
Fox Mulder
Not many. Certainly not in the way yours did, mrs. Weinsider.
Laura
When I was having it... It just seemed so real.
Fox Mulder
You mentioned a fire in the room, in your account, and a, uh-- a devil that held your legs?
Laura
So that he could take the baby.
Fox Mulder
But according to your statement, your baby was not a normal baby.
Laura
No. It was some kind of monster... With, um, horns and a tail. [ sniffling ] can you excuse me, please?
Wayne
My wife appears so resilient, but I know she's suffered... Ever since the doctor told us about the complications.
Fox Mulder
Um, you were right there in bed with your wife the whole time, mr. Weinsider?
Wayne
Wayne. Yes, I woke her up.
Fox Mulder
But according to your wife's statement, at one point she reached over... For you in the bed, and you-- you weren't there.
Wayne
Well, it was a dream.
Fox Mulder
Yeah. You mind if I use your phone, Wayne?
Wayne
Sure. Of course.

Mr Ginsberg
Sure. Fire away.
Dana Scully
Do you or have you ever smoked marijuana?
Mr Ginsberg
Nope. No, sirree.
Dana Scully
Have you consorted with people who have, now or in the past?
Mr Ginsberg
No, I really don't think so.
Dana Scully
[ telephone ringing ] oh. Scully.
Fox Mulder
Scully, it's me.
Dana Scully
Would you mind? Mulder, where are you? I waited 45 minutes for you this morning.
Fox Mulder
I, uh-- before I tell you, I'm gonna ask you to keep an open mind.
Dana Scully
This isn't an X-File?
Fox Mulder
Call it what you like. Down here in roanoke, they're calling it a demon baby snatching.
Dana Scully
You're in virginia?
Fox Mulder
Look, I want you to take a look at this woman's charts. Strange in utero deformities were detected. I'm gonna courier them to you, all right?
Dana Scully
Mulder, we are supposed to be doing background checks, not chasing X-Files.
Fox Mulder
Look, Scully, Spender just round-filed this case. It's unconscionable.
Dana Scully
And what do you call rooting through his trash?
Fox Mulder
Like that's any different from the assignment we're stuck with?
Dana Scully
"we," Mulder? I'm stuck with. You're not here.
Fox Mulder
Scully, this is a classic case of demon fetal harvest, what they called in the middle ages atum nocturnem, the impregnation of an unwitting woman by a dark lord of the underworld.
Dana Scully
[ Scully over intercom ] as host for his demon seed.
Fox Mulder
[ Mulder ] exactly.
Dana Scully
I saw rosemary's baby on cable the other night, Mulder.
Fox Mulder
Yeah, but this is the real deal. You check that woman's charts, you'll get hard evidence. Check her prenatal ultrasound. Take a look at those medical records. I think they'll prove my theory.

6:57 AM
Fox Mulder
Mulder.
Dana Scully
Mulder, I think I found what you're looking for. I have been up all night going over the medical charts on the Weinsider baby.
Fox Mulder
What did you find?
Dana Scully
The prenatal birth defects that you spoke of-- they're all here, but they're subtle.
Fox Mulder
Describe them to me.
Dana Scully
Well, they look to be discrete bony deformities. There are spurs on the superior aspect of the scapula... And small protuberances on the skull adjacent to the coronal suture.
Fox Mulder
Protuberances? Like horns?
Dana Scully
Well, they could be recessive characteristics... Expressed as vestiges of primitive morphology... Or a developmental anomaly like craniosynostosis.
Fox Mulder
Do you think this is something that could be passed along by the father?
Dana Scully
No, I wouldn't look to the father as any kind of dark force here, Mulder. I think it's the mother. And virginia law on third trimester abortions... Requires you to put her under arrest.
Fox Mulder
What are you talking about?
Dana Scully
Labor was induced, Mulder. In the mother's blood there was found a significant trace of an herb called mandrake. It's a poison that's been known to facilitate self-abortion.
Fox Mulder
Mandrake?
Dana Scully
It's also been known to be used as an hallucinogenic.
Fox Mulder
-you think mrs. Weinsider self-prescribed? -
Dana Scully
I called the doctor on a hunch, and he said that the father was very upset about the news, while the mother was quite the opposite. Look, Mulder, I'm gonna fax this information to you so you can present it... To the commonwealth attorney for the county of roanoke. But I think we have your baby snatcher here. Mulder?
Fox Mulder
Yeah? What? Yes?
Dana Scully
I suggest you proceed carefully. This could be very emotional for everybody concerned.
Fox Mulder

Mandrake.

Mandrake. Where would she even get such a thing?
Laura

You don't need to say anything.

Hey, why don't you just let your sister talk? It might clear things up.
Deputy Arky Stevens

She's not under arrest.
Deputy Arky Stevens
You're damn right, she's not. I didn't call you here to tell me rumors I've already heard. My sister's no baby killer!

They're accusing me of taking the life of our baby.
Wayne
Who's accusing you?

Who do you think? I don't know where you've been, Wayne, but I seem to be the only one keepin' the dogs from the door.
Wayne
A man's gotta make a living.
Fox Mulder
Wayne-- mr. Weinsider, I don't wanna arrest Laura. I'm sure you'd hate like the devil for that to happen, as well?
Wayne
I should say so.
Fox Mulder
So why don't you tell deputy stevens... That it's okay to search the premises so we can clear up any misunderstanding... About who's responsible for what happened here.
Wayne
Of course.
[ officers chattering, shouting to each other ]
Wayne
Laura, could you come here?
Fox Mulder
Whatever else we find, I know everybody in this house is regular.
Laura
I know there's nothing they're going to find, but why do I feel guilty anyway?
Wayne
Laura, there's something I need to tell you about that, something that I've kept secret for reasons that I think will explain for themselves.
Laura
What? What are you talking about?
Wayne
Well, I don't exactly know how to say this, and I'm sure that you might find it painful, as I do.
Laura
Wayne, what?
Wayne
On the night-- the night that you lost the baby, I had gotten up because I couldn't sleep. And when I came back to bed, you were-- you had... Our little baby in your hands.

Laura
No! No! [ gasping, crying ]

Laura, I was just doing it to protect you. I knew I could never bring back our little boy, our precious little Wayne jr., but I couldn't bear losing you.
[ continues crying, whimpering ]
Officer
Hey, take a look at this!
Laura
I don't know what to tell you. [ sniffling ] all I can think-- when they told me something was wrong, that there was a problem, was that this thing that was growing inside me was evil. I kept thinking that maybe it was something I did wrong... And that this was my punishment. I told Wayne that everything was gonna be okay. But I lied. But you have to believe me, arky. I didn't mean to kill him. I didn't know what I was doing. It was the herbal medication. That's all I can think.
Deputy Arky Stevens
Laura-- Laura... I don't think you should say anymore. I'm gonna have to read you your rights. We're gonna have to go down to the station and-- and do all that. I'm sorry.

No, Wayne. I've been thinking.
Wayne
Thinking? About what?
Laura
About your story. About how it doesn't make sense. You said you wrapped the baby up to hide it, but what they found in the fire was wrapped in the nightgown I had on... When I woke up from my nightmare.

Fox Mulder
That's where I was. I was piecing together the history of the man that did this to her.
Dana Scully
Well, that's why I was looking for you, because, in fact, nobody did anything to her. There's absolutely no evidence of bodily injury, of overdose, of suffocation, of anything that would explain why she was in a coma.
Fox Mulder
Perfect.
Dana Scully
Mulder, I don't think you heard what I said. I did a complete medical review, just as you asked. What I'm saying is that there is not a shred of evidence to implicate the husband or anyone.

Not a shred of evidence is exactly the evidence I'd hoped you'd find. Check this out.

I'm not suggesting anything. I think the facts speak for themselves.
Dana Scully
Mulder, I will accept that a man can be demonic, that he may have demon-like attributes. But why would a demon, if there were such a thing, bother... With a 9-to-5 make room for daddy routine just so he can off his wife and unborn child?

What are you saying? That he's trying to propagate, breed?
Fox Mulder
He's exercising his biological imperative, and he'll do or say anything to succeed.
Dana Scully
It doesn't make sense. If he's trying to breed, why would he be snatching his own babies and burying them in his backyard?

Because they're demons, and he wants a normal child.

Four total. All here for some time. Maybe years. All normal, though, Mulder. No osteological deformities. And Betsy's baby isn't here. There are no fresh graves.
Fox Mulder
I know.
Dana Scully
What do you think he did with it?
Fox Mulder
I don't think he did anything with it.
Dana Scully
But she was recently pregnant. I mean, I saw her records, her sonograms, in the house. Showing the same defects.
Fox Mulder
These weren't Wayne's babies, Scully.
Dana Scully
Well, whose babies were they?
Fox Mulder
I think Wayne realized something last night. That's why he was out here digging. He realized he'd met someone more evil than he was, who had sacrificed what he desperately wanted for himself.
Dana Scully
Betsy?
Fox Mulder
It was no coincidence that she ran into us last night. We were taken in by her just like Wayne was, by a woman who would say anything... Or do anything to get what she wanted, who was even more driven than he was.
Dana Scully
Driven to what?
Fox Mulder
To have what only Wayne could give her.
