[ wind howling ]
[ man shouting, indistinct ]
[ shouting, indistinct ]
[ shouting continues ]
Guard
Last wall! Pour it on!
Unidentified speaker
Put it up!
Whaley
This little piece of wood ain't gonna hold no twister! We need to dig a hole! You know what I'm sayin'?
Guard
Whaley!
Whaley
Big hole! The man ought to be giving us shovels! This whole damn place is gonna blow away. Why even bother? Back me up here!
Pinker Rawls
Shut up and hold it still!
Whaley
I know you ain't talkin' to me. You're a big man, huh? Is that right? Charley potatoes. Big-ass criminal. You a bad man? You're a little bitch! That's all you are. You ain't got no money. You ain't got nothin'. I'll hold it still. [ laughing ] is that still enough for ya? Huh? [ laughing ]
[ screaming ]
Guard
Put down the hammer, Rawls! Rawls!
[ screaming continues ]
Fellowes
Messed up old whaley, did he?
Guard
Messed him up good.
Fellowes
Now, what you go and do that for?
Pinker Rawls
The man pissed me off, boss.
Fellowes
Who the hell doesn't? Box him.
Pinker Rawls
You can't put me in that box. The storm's coming.
Fellowes
You should've thought of that before you messed up whaley.
Pinker Rawls
The hell with whaley. You can't put me in that box! Boss, you can't put me in there! You can't put me in that box! You can't do it! You're going to kill me, boss!
Guard
You know they're saying tornado touchdowns all over the county.
Fellowes
I can't be responsible for acts of god.
Guard
Sorry, Rawls.
Pinker Rawls
Let me out! Let me out!
[ grunting ]
Unidentified speaker
Somebody let me out!
Pinker Rawls
Help! Somebody! Somebody help me, please!
[ men chattering ]
Guard
Oh, hell. Hello, sir? Oh, my god.
Scene 02
HINDS COUNTY MORGUE
Dana Scully
Should we arrest david copperfield?
Fox Mulder
Yes, we should, but not for this. This is raybert fellowes, superintendent of road farm six, mississippi department of corrections. One of his guards found him. Not a drop of blood in the place.
Dana Scully
Well, maybe he was killed elsewhere.
Fox Mulder
Whoever did it took 40 minutes to do it in the middle of a tornado. What do you make of that?
Dana Scully
I don't know. It's, uh-- it's not a simple bisection. There's a considerable amount of his abdomen missing. It almost looks like a burning, but it's too localized. Maybe an industrial acid.
Fox Mulder
There's, uh, no acid found in his office.
Unidentified speaker
Hmm.
Dana Scully
Spontaneous human combustion.
Fox Mulder
Scully.
Dana Scully
Isn't that where you're going with this?
Fox Mulder
"dear diary: today my heart leapt... When agent Scully suggested spontaneous human combustion."
Dana Scully
There are one or two somewhat well documented cases. Mulder, shut up. Okay, what do you make of this?
Fox Mulder
I don't have a theory, but I know someone who does.
Scene 03
Scene 03
Guard
Hell, yes, Pinker Rawls who did it, though you got me as to how.
Dana Scully
And who is Pinker Rawls?
Fox Mulder
Inmate.
Guard
Mean son of a bitch.
Fox Mulder
Rawls was the prisoner who supposedly died... In the tornado that preceded superintendent fellowes' murder.
Dana Scully
So you're saying that a ghost did this?
Guard
I'm not putting a word to it. That's up to y'all. All I know is that Rawls hated the captain. Captain locked him in the box when the storm hit, and Rawls didn't want to be in the box. And when we found the box, the biggest piece was about yea big three Miles from here. This whole place was locked and boarded up tight. No man got in here. That's all I'm sayin'.
Dana Scully
So we're looking for a dead man?
Fox Mulder
I disagree. I think this Pinker Rawls is still very much alive. You know, they never found his body.
Dana Scully
Well, at the risk of further ridicule, what if this wasn't a murder? As I understand it, current theory on spontaneous human combustion... Is that climatic conditions play a large part. So possibly a tornado may fit the bill. We've got lightning, static electricity at a high potential.
Fox Mulder
I can't argue with that, but I do think it's murder.
Dana Scully
Well, then how did Rawls, or whoever, do this? Uh, how did he get in and out of a locked office... And prop a body up against the inside of a door?
[ hollow sound ]
Fox Mulder
Termites?
Guard
This is all he had in his bunk area.
Dana Scully
Wilson Pinker Rawls, age 34. Eight years into 30 for robbing a wire office in bay st. Louis. The $90,000 he stole was never recovered.
Fox Mulder
Mm, it's not in here. Hey, look at this. Ouch.
Dana Scully
His record dates to 1978. Mostly small-time. History of violence throughout.
Fox Mulder
I wonder who she is.
Scene 04
MERIDIAN, MISSISSIPPI
Robert Werther
Thanks, cutie. You broke out the good stuff.
June
Well, we're worth the good stuff.
Robert Werther
Mmm.
[ TV audio, indistinct ]
June
Hey, robert? Can I show you something? Hmm? -just a little food for thought. -
Robert Werther
Wait, sweetie. They're talking about the tornado.
Unidentified speaker
...smith and covington counties.
Newscaster
Take a look at this video, just in. Hardest hit was a state prison farm outside the village of stringer... Where two deaths are reported in the wake of the storm. A funnel cloud with winds topping 150 Miles per hour... Tore through the isolated work camp, passing within yards of a barracks filled with terrified inmates. Among the dead, captain raybert fellowes, the farm superintendent, a 28-year veteran of the department of corrections. A second casualty was a prison inmate, wilson p. Rawls, age 34-- prison authorities say--
June
Excuse me.
Robert Werther
You okay, June?
Newscaster
...secure the prison from the oncoming storm. High winds apparently carried the man away. Though his body has not been found, Rawls is presumed dead.
Scene 05
10:54 PM
Bobby (security guard)
You got a gun pointed at you. Don't try to run.
Pinker Rawls
I ain't runnin'.
Unidentified speaker
Ah!
Bobby (security guard)
Hey! Hey, that's store property. Take those off!
Pinker Rawls
Ooh! There's something so nice about putting on a brand-new pair of socks. I don't know what it is.
Bobby (security guard)
I said, take those off, boy!
Pinker Rawls
Ooh!
Unidentified speaker
Ooh. Ooh.
Pinker Rawls
What you think? That's me, right? And room to grow in.
Bobby (security guard)
You got an attitude, I'll say that. Get the hell up. Turn around. Hands behind the pole. Yeah, this is bobby in security. I've detained an intruder at the val-u-mart on nine mile road and route 60.
Unidentified speaker
The door wasn't jimmied.
Bobby (security guard)
I don't know how the hell he got in here. He was just walking around. Got him cuffed in the back. Yeah, I'll hold.
[ car horn honking ]
[ tires screeching ]
Scene 06
Scene 06
Fox Mulder
Is that the guy?
Bobby (security guard)
Yeah, could be. I guess. It was pretty dark.
Fox Mulder
How'd he get away?
Dana Scully
Whoever he was.
Bobby (security guard)
You got me. Guy's like houdini. Turned my back, he was gone. I had him right here.
Fox Mulder
You had him handcuffed... Here? Can I see your handcuffs?
[ dispatcher on police radio, indistinct ]
Fox Mulder
Do we have a last known address for Pinker Rawls?
[ crickets chirping ]
[ shatters ]
Scene 07
Scene 07
Bo
Hey, hello? Rawls?
Pinker Rawls
What's up?
Bo
You're on the news, man. They're saying you got killed.
Pinker Rawls
Where is she?
Bo
June? She's gone. Long gone, man. She left me, like, four years ago. You mad 'cause, uh, her and me shacked up? I'm sorry, buddy.
Pinker Rawls
Bo, I want what's mine.
Bo
I might have her address.
Pinker Rawls
You got nothing in there but your nine.
Bo
Get the hell out of my house.
Pinker Rawls
Bo, you gonna shoot me? Boo!
Unidentified speaker
Bah!
Pinker Rawls
You gonna do somethin'?
Unidentified speaker
Hah!
[ yelling ]
Bo
No. No!
Scene 08
Scene 08
Fox Mulder
This is Rawls' last known address. Security guard's car.
Dana Scully
Mulder.
[ groans ]
Fox Mulder
[ groans ] gesundheit.
Dana Scully
Oh, my god. [ groans ] pistol in his hand. Slide locked open, shell casings everywhere. I don't see any bullet holes anywhere, Mulder.
[ sighs ]
Fox Mulder
Don't recognize him from his driver's license, do you?
Dana Scully
Bo merkle. This is his house.
Fox Mulder
But Rawls used to live here, and he's come back looking for something.
Unidentified speaker
Ninety thousand dollars.
Dana Scully
The wire office robbery eight years ago. That money hasn't been recovered.
Fox Mulder
I don't think he spent that in prison.
Dana Scully
I don't think mr. Merkle did either, judging by the decor.
Fox Mulder
Maybe she knows. That's this house, isn't it?
Dana Scully
Yeah. I can run down her name.
Fox Mulder
Yeah, I bet Rawls is looking for her.
[ phone beeps ]
Dana Scully
Yeah, this is special agent Dana Scully with the FBI there's been a murder here at 922 washington avenue in jackson. I need crime scene support on-site as soon as possible. Thank you. Oh, and would you transfer me--
[ dispatcher on radio, indistinct ]
Dana Scully
Got a name to go with the face-- June Gurwitch. There's no current address, though, and no record of her since 1996.
Fox Mulder
Maybe she changed her name. Maybe she was afraid she'd end up like that.
Dana Scully
The state police have put out an a.p.b. On Rawls.
Fox Mulder
You might warn them not to shoot to kill. He seems to find that annoying.
Dana Scully
Look, Mulder, even if those were bullets--
Fox Mulder
They are. Their composition's been changed, just like the handcuffs and the prison wall.
Dana Scully
Even if these were bullets, there is no way that they could pass through Rawls... In the way you're describing, not without leaving him dead on the ground for us to find.
Fox Mulder
I think they went right through him, like his wrist went through the handcuffs and like he walked through that prison wall.
Dana Scully
He walks through solid objects?
Fox Mulder
Changing their composition fundamentally-- making steel brittle, turning lead bullets into powder.
Dana Scully
And flesh into carbon?
Fox Mulder
I don't know how else to explain what happened to that prison superintendent... Or to poor mr. Merkle who's got no face anymore.
Dana Scully
But where's the science in all of this? You're talking alchemy.
Fox Mulder
I'm not saying that it can't be explained scientifically. Maybe it's the tornado. You suggested it yourself. Unusual climatic conditions, high electrical potential.
Dana Scully
I'm sorry I even brought it up.
Fox Mulder
We both agree on who he's looking for?
Dana Scully
June Gurwitch.
Fox Mulder
Do we have any idea how to find June Gurwitch?
Dana Scully
She has a sister named Jackie, and I have the address.
Police radio
E.t.a.: ten minutes.
[ ringing, beeps ]
Scene 09
Scene 09
June
Hello.
Jackie
Hey, it's me. Is this a good time?
June
No, Jackie, it is never a good time.
Jackie
The jackson city police just called me. Yeah. They're looking for you.
June
What you tell 'em? Nothin'.
Jackie
But they brought up Pinker. They wanted to know what he might want with you.
June
Pinker's dead. I heard it on the news today.
Jackie
Well, maybe you better call 'em just in case he's not.
Robert Werther
June!
June
I gotta go.
Jackie
June?
[ door slams ]
[ whimpers ]
Pinker Rawls
Hey, Jackie. That's not very friendly, Jackie. Jackie.
[ gasps ]
Pinker Rawls
Tell me where she is.
June
[ panting ] I'm not telling you anything.
[ car approaching ] [ sobs ]
[ shuddering, whimpering ]
Dana Scully
Jackie Gurwitch?
Unidentified speaker
FBI!
Fox Mulder
Where'd he go?
Jackie
He left.
[ dispatcher on radio, indistinct ] [ officers chattering ]
Dana Scully
Her son's spending the night at a friend's house, and she's gonna meet them there. She said she didn't tell Rawls where her sister was. [ sighs ] Mulder... She said that he walked right through the wall.
Fox Mulder
Merkle's car is parked down the street. That's how he got here. I don't know how he left.
Dana Scully
Maybe he left on foot or he stole another car.
Fox Mulder
Why would he leave without getting the information he wanted?
Dana Scully
Maybe he's still in the neighborhood. The local p.d. Can search, but we have to get going.
Fox Mulder
Where to?
Dana Scully
To meridian. That's where June Gurwitch lives. Or June burdett, as she's now called.
Scene 10
6:12 AM
Robert Werther
Yes?
Dana Scully
Agents Scully and Mulder with the FBI we are looking for a June Gurwitch, also known as June burdett.
Robert Werther
"also known as"? What-- uh-- June! What's this all about?
Dana Scully
An escaped convict by the name of wilson Pinker Rawls. We believe he may be pursuing miss Gurwitch with the intention of harming her.
Robert Werther
"Gurwitch"? I don't understand.
Fox Mulder
June?
June
Pinker's alive, isn't he? Jackie? She and her son?
Dana Scully
They're fine.
Fox Mulder
Who was Rawls to you?
June
A mistake. The biggest one of many. We lived together. Are you sure you know who you're looking for? I remember one time, this guy cuts Pinker off on the highway. Just cut him off, the kind of thing that happens to everybody every day. He followed this guy for 62 Miles right over the state line. Sixty-two Miles. Me pleading with him the whole way to stop. Follows the guy to his house. The guy gets out of his car smiling. He doesn't know what's coming to him. Pinker pulls a picket... Off a picket fence and cracks that guy's skull open with it. He's not gonna stop.
Fox Mulder
What does Rawls want? The money? Ninety thousand from the bay st. Louis robbery?
June
I didn't even know about that till they came to the door to arrest him. Pinker was already in prison before I found that money. By accident.
Dana Scully
So you took it?
June
Eventually, yeah. I thought about it for about a week or two.
Fox Mulder
Where's the money now?
June
Put a down payment on this place. Bought a couple of sofas, chintz curtains, p.c. For robert. I just wanted another chance.
[ dispatcher on radio, indistinct ]
Robert Werther
I have a job. I've got responsibilities. I can't just disappear like this.
Dana Scully
It's best you both stay under 24-hour guard until Rawls is apprehended. It's for your protection.
Robert Werther
No, it's for her protection. Let's be clear. This guy, he's not looking for me. She took his money.
June
Robert, I'm sorry--
Robert Werther
Excuse me. I've got my own place. I promise to stay the hell away from here. How about it? I just want to get out of here. I didn't break any laws.
[ dispatcher on radio, indistinct ]
Dana Scully
Don't discuss this with anyone, mr. Werther.
Robert Werther
I'm forgetting it ever happened.
Fox Mulder
Give me your keys. Get her out of here. I want a guard around her at all times.
Dana Scully
Rawls was in the trunk?
Fox Mulder
Yeah. We took him right where he wanted to go.
[ papers rustling ]
[ latch clicking ]
[ cocking hammer ]
Dana Scully
Mulder?
Fox Mulder
You think he's trying to tell us something?
[ men chattering ]
[ footsteps ]
Fox Mulder
Scully, look at this. I'm assuming Rawls wrote this with his finger, like the other one, but look here.
Dana Scully
He stopped at the mirror.
Fox Mulder
Or the mirror stopped him. What makes an object solid? What prevents one solid object from passing through another solid object, usually?
Dana Scully
Electrostatic repulsion. Individual electrons repelling one another like magnets.
Fox Mulder
Electrons. What if Rawls's ability somehow has to do with electricity? What would preclude it, or contain it?
Dana Scully
Resistance against electrical current. A good insulator like rubber, like glass.
Fox Mulder
Exactly. Rawls couldn't pass through this.
Dana Scully
Say-- say that your theory is correct, that he can walk through walls. Why go through all this effort over an old robbery score? It's $90,000. He could get that anywhere, right?
Fox Mulder
It's not about the money. It's never been about the money.
Dana Scully
Yet, he turned this place upside down, which means he was looking for something. And I think it has to do with this. It's a lien... On unpaid hospital bills... Dating back to 1992. And the patient name is June Gurwitch. And this is an icd-9 number, a hospital diagnostic code. This particular one means--
Fox Mulder
Pregnancy.
Dana Scully
Right, specifically c-section.
Fox Mulder
This is seven years ago. That's a few months after Rawls was sent to the prison farm.
Dana Scully
Uh-huh. "I want what's mine." this man's looking for his child.
Scene 11
Scene 11
Newscaster
...and will return in time to take part in meetings at the u.n. A statewide manhunt is under way at this point... As escaped convict wilson Pinker Rawls, a man previously thought to be a victim of tuesday's storm, continues to elude police. He is to be considered armed and extremely dangerous.
June
In other news, computers-- I'd like to call my sister.
Trooper Collins
Sorry, ma'am. No calls.
[ TV audio continues, indistinct ]
Newscaster
...are expected to be delayed by as much as two months, and won't be ready in time for final exams. In other news, university hospital in philadelphia... Announced that vitamin e may effectively delay... The progression of alzheimer's disease. A recent study of 100 alzheimer patients found that--
Trooper Collins
This is a nonsmoking room, ma'am.

Scene 12
Another Trooper
Looks like collins put up a fight. Guess it wasn't enough. I can't tell you what happened here, how Rawls got in, but he took the woman with him.
Fox Mulder
Where are they headed?
Another Trooper
They stole a station wagon, last seen headed south.
[ camera shutter clicking ]
[ officers chattering ]
Dana Scully
He has to intend for June to lead him to his child.
Fox Mulder
Yeah, we gotta get there first.
Dana Scully
Yeah, but where? We don't have a name or an address. June may not either, for that matter, if the child was adopted. Our best bet is to go through state records, but it's gonna take some time.
Fox Mulder
I'm going to need some equipment, special issue.

Pinker Rawls
What was it? What you have? You dumb bitch, you don't even know what I'm talking about. What you have? Was it a boy or a girl?
June
A boy. A boy.
Pinker Rawls
A boy. Boy. A boy. What's his name? You know his name, don't you?
June
Trevor andrew.
Pinker Rawls
Trevor what?
June
Trevor andrew.
Pinker Rawls
Trevor andrew... Rawls. You never were gonna tell me. I'd have gone to my grave never knowing.
Unidentified speaker
Hmm.
Pinker Rawls
But, years later, a million-to-one shot, I hear on the farm from a guy who knew a guy who knew a guy. You know what that means? That means god wanted me to know. He fixed it so I'd hear, and then he fixed it so's I had passage. And I'm here. God's will.
June
What do you want with the boy?
Pinker Rawls
He's my son. Now you're gonna take me to him.

Can you also check her alias, please? It's burdett. B-u-r-d-e-t-t.
Fox Mulder
It was a live birth? That's all you can tell me? Yeah. Can you check on that, please?
Trooper
This what you were looking for?
Fox Mulder
Yes, thank you.
[ dispatcher on radio, indistinct ]
Dana Scully
All right. Thank you very much. [ phone beeps off ] no match on burdett or Gurwitch.
Fox Mulder
Riot slugs, rubber. Uh-huh. Yeah. No? Thank you. It's a boy. That's all I got.
Dana Scully
Sealed files?
Fox Mulder
No official files. No adoption records, no records of foster care... In alabama, mississippi, louisiana, nothing.
Dana Scully
Maybe she didn't go through official channels. Maybe the kid's with a friend or a relative somewhere.
