00:00...
00:04...
00:08...
00:12...
00:16...
00:22...
00:26Oh, my God.
00:56I can't.
01:09Kevin!
01:26Ruby's gone!
01:29Ruby?
01:32Ruby?
01:34Ruby!
01:38Ruby!
01:43Ruby!
01:45Ruby!
02:15Agent Mulder's latest 302.
02:45Requesting assignment and travel expenses for the both of you.
02:51Sioux City, Iowa.
02:53That's the first I've heard of it.
02:55It came up through channels, from Mulder's ASAC to the District G14 and onto my desk.
03:02I don't understand.
03:04In essence, Mulder is petitioning the Bureau to assign a case number to a tabloid headline.
03:12He must have more evidence than...
03:14Not according to his 302, he doesn't.
03:16I admit, that is strange.
03:19Even for Mulder.
03:20Perhaps it has something to do with this.
03:34Take a look.
03:36An X file?
03:37Has he shared any of this with you?
03:59There's no need to protect him.
04:01He's the agent of record.
04:02He initiated the file himself.
04:03She was his sister.
04:09She disappeared 21 years ago.
04:12He was 12 and she was 8.
04:15He claims that he was in the room when it happened.
04:19He recalls a bright light outside the window and a presence in the room.
04:26In your opinion, has Agent Mulder's personal agenda clouded his professional judgment?
04:35In my opinion, no.
04:37But you can't see how it might appear that way.
04:39As you know, Agent Mulder's preoccupation with fringe matters has been a big source of friction in the Bureau.
04:49This is another case in point.
04:52I'm going to disallow the 302.
04:54With respect, sir, at least let me talk with him and make a recommendation.
05:03It just doesn't seem substantial enough to warrant an investigation.
05:09Okay, Scully, so we disagree.
05:11It's not the first time and it won't be the last.
05:13Well, at least if we had a legitimate source, we could...
05:16This is the essence of science.
05:18You ask an impertinent question and you're on your way to a pertinent answer.
05:22What makes this case any more credible than the 100-year-old mother with the lizard baby?
05:29Because the lizard baby wasn't born anywhere near Lake Okoboji.
05:34Oko-what?
05:35Boji.
05:38Okoboji.
05:40Is that supposed to mean something to me?
05:42Do you know anything about trout fishing?
05:44Or UFO hotspots?
05:49Define hotspot.
05:51Four sightings in 1967, August, including one by a National Weather Service plane.
05:59This is a light-blasted, digitally-enhanced enlargement.
06:03The pilot took that photograph?
06:05Try a Girl Scout with an Instamatic.
06:07Four of the nine girls in the troop claim to have seen something.
06:10Five, if you include the den mother.
06:11The Air Force said it was a weather balloon caught in a windshear.
06:16But there wasn't a weather balloon launched that day within 700 miles.
06:23Now, read me the names of those Girl Scouts from 1967.
06:26Lisa Terrell, Bonnie Winston, Doreen McAllister, Darlene Moore.
06:36It's the same Darlene Morris.
06:38Okay.
06:39I'm sorry.
06:40Oops.
06:41Yep, yep, yep.
06:42Yep, yep.
06:52Yep, yep, yep.
07:00Yep, yep.
07:02Yep.
07:03Yep, yep.
07:08Yep, yep.
07:08Miss Darlene Morris, I'm Major Scully, and this is Agent Fox Mole.
07:19Did we talk with you on the phone last night?
07:22Please, come in.
07:27Well, I knew that if I screamed loud and long enough that someone would listen,
07:33but I never expected the FBI...
07:37Oh, this is Kevin. Kevin, say hi.
07:45Would you like some coffee?
07:46Mm-hmm.
07:47Mm-hmm.
07:49Mm-hmm.
07:51Mm-hmm.
07:53Mm-hmm.
07:55Mm-hmm.
07:56Mm-hmm.
07:57Mm-hmm.
08:01Mm-hmm.
08:02Mm-hmm.
08:06Some days I can't even get myself up out of bed.
08:33And Kevin has been acting so strange.
08:36I don't know what to do anymore.
08:39I just want her back again.
08:42Miss Morris, during the divorce, was there a custody battle?
08:49Charles had nothing to do with this.
08:51How can you be so sure?
08:53Because I know what happened.
08:57It's just like it was before.
08:59Summer of 1967, the Girl Scout troop.
09:02How did you know about that?
09:03Your name's on record at the Center for UFO Studies in Evanston, Illinois.
09:09Really?
09:11Yeah, a pilot for the National Weather Service made a similar sighting over the same area on the same day.
09:15They took her, didn't they, Mr. Mulder?
09:25You said that Kevin was there the night it happened?
09:29He didn't see anything.
09:31He was asleep.
09:32Do you think I might talk to him anyway?
09:34You know, I've told a story so many times now.
09:51I go to the newspapers and the police.
09:54And every time I tell it, people get this look in their eye.
10:03Just like the look that you've got right now.
10:10Hey, buddy.
10:13You mind if I sit down?
10:14Thanks.
10:20Your mom tells me you've been having nightmares.
10:23I guess so.
10:25You want to tell me about them?
10:26No.
10:28All right.
10:34What are you doing?
10:39You making something?
10:40Can I take a look at it?
10:49Thanks.
10:56It's coming from there.
11:01The TV?
11:10I don't know what it is.
11:14Maybe a binary sequence of some kind.
11:17Could be anything.
11:18Could be nothing.
11:20I know you're busy.
11:21Look, um, I know a friend who knows a friend who knows a friend who can get you a ticket to a Redskins game.
11:27You got it.
11:28All right.
11:29You know where to find me?
11:31Thanks, Danny.
11:31So, as I was telling your partner, we found no evidence of kidnap.
11:37No phone call.
11:39No ransom note.
11:40Since we didn't turn up a body.
11:42You assume she ran away.
11:45Well, it wouldn't be the first time Ruby Morris ran away from home.
11:48Well, how do you explain what her mother saw?
11:52Well, I think that Darlene has a very active imagination.
11:56I've been listening to those stories since the first grade.
11:58So, basically, you ignored her statement.
12:00What?
12:04They included it in my report.
12:06But you didn't bother to check it out.
12:09We went out to the campsite.
12:10We didn't find anything.
12:11Let me tell you something.
12:13Darlene's little girl was no prom queen.
12:16I can't count the number of times I pulled her out of parked cars or found her puking her guts out by the side of the road.
12:22It was just a matter of time before...
12:24Before what?
12:28Before something bad happened to her.
12:30And if Darlene needs to make up crazy stories to get past that, fine.
12:33But don't tell me to treat it as the truth.
12:35I'm not going to waste my time.
12:36I just think it's a good idea not to antagonize local law enforcement.
12:44Who, me?
12:44I'm Mr. Congeniality.
12:46You never know.
12:47We might need his help one of these days.
12:48I'll send him a bun cake.
13:03you're looking for ruby right that's right
13:33who are you doesn't matter are you a friend of ruby's ruby didn't have friends

16:31yeah
16:44yeah
16:56Yeah.
17:02See you upstairs.
17:03See you.
17:04All right.
17:26Where's Mulder?
17:34Where did you get the document?
17:36Well, if you explain to me what you're talking about, maybe I can help you out.
17:48This is a document?
17:50Just looks like a bunch of ones and zeros to me.
17:53Tell me where you got it.
17:56Tell me what it is.
17:58Keep playing games, Mulder. I'll haul your ass up in front of the D6.
18:01You can explain to them what you're doing obstructing justice.
18:04That's your call, Holtzman.
18:06Unless they tell me otherwise, I'm not accountable to anybody outside my subcommittee.
18:11I don't care if it's the NSA or the Vatican police.
18:17It's a defense satellite transmission.
18:20You're kidding.
18:21Just a fragment, but highly classified.
18:24We need to know where it came from.
18:26Well, sure. I'll let you know as soon as I find out.
18:29That's it, Mulder. You just bought yourself a one-way back to Washington.
18:33We got it.
18:34Great.
18:35What?
18:36You shouldn't have told them. They have no jurisdiction.
18:39Mulder, they're NSA. They think the boy may be a threat to national security.
18:44Come on. How can an eight-year-old boy who can barely multiply be a threat to national security?
18:49People call me paranoid.
18:50Well, how did Kevin obtain top-secret information?
18:53I mean, where do you think he got it from?
18:55I mean, where do you think he got it from?
18:57I mean, where do you think he got it from?
19:00I don't know...
19:01multiplied be a threat to national security people call me paranoid well how did Kevin obtain top
19:08secret information I mean where do you think he got it from
19:31I'll be okay with me son
20:01it'll be all right baby
20:31you guys do really delicate work let's get this to cryptography
20:39let's go think we got what we needed thank you
20:43what is it I'm not sure
21:00you
21:02you
21:04you
21:06you
21:10you
21:12you
21:14you
21:16you
21:32we scanned all 77 pages through the mainframe in Washington and none of the information is actionable other than the satellite transmission nothing can be construed in any way as a national security risk as far as I know the boys being released this afternoon
21:44so it was just a random set of ones and zeros on the contrary there was nothing random about it I don't understand
21:51all information can be rendered digitally in a series of ones and zeros when we downloaded the data we found an amazing range of well see for yourself
22:00Da Vinci's universal man
22:03a DNA double helix
22:07a DNA double helix
22:09there's lots more
22:13the
22:15that's from the Brandenburg concertos
22:20but they're just fragments
22:21a few notes here a few notes there
22:23some lines from the Quran a Shakespearean Sonnet
22:26almost like someone switching channels huh
22:29Mrs. Morris.
22:44I have nothing to say to you.
22:45Mrs. Morris, please give me a minute to explain.
22:52Would you please just wait right over there for Mama?
22:55I'll be right there.
22:55I thought you were both supposed to be here to help us.
23:02This has been a terrible mistake.
23:04And I assure you that the government will pay for all repairs and damages.
23:08I don't want your money.
23:09I want my daughter back.
23:10And I want you to leave us alone.
23:13But your son has seen something.
23:16You stay away from me.
23:17And you stay away from my child.
23:25Come on, honey.
23:29It's okay.
23:30Let's go now.
23:49I thought we were headed back into town.
23:51Where are we going?
23:55The boy is the key, Scully.
23:58I know it.
23:59The key to what?
24:00Finding Ruby.
24:03Just think about it for a minute.
24:04This is a boy who is receiving all kinds of digitized data from a television screen.
24:09Agent Hatsumi said it was a statistical aberration.
24:12Okay, I admit it.
24:16It's not much of an explanation.
24:18But I think that Kevin is a conduit of some kind.
24:21A conduit?
24:23A link.
24:24Or a connection.
24:26To whoever, or whatever, took Ruby that night.
24:30But how?
24:32If there was an abduction, it's likely that Kevin was touched in some way.
24:39Mulder, I know what you're thinking.
24:41I know why this is so important to you.
24:50I know.
24:53But there is no evidence indicating an abduction.
24:58That's why we're going to Lake Okoboji.
25:00I know.
25:01I know.
25:10According to the police photos, Ruby and Kevin were sleeping right here.
25:11Just a stone stroke from the forest wall.
25:15Meaning what?
25:17Meaning anybody could have come out of the forest to grab her.
25:24Have you noticed the tree line?
25:28Evidence of extreme heat.
25:30Or an electrical storm.
25:35Besides which, there's nothing to connect it to the night of Ruby's disappearance.
25:38That's true.
25:46Do you think a lightning strike could have caused this?
25:49Do you have any idea at what temperature sand solidifies in the glass?
25:532,500 degrees Fahrenheit.
25:58Something was out here, Scully.
25:59Something hot enough to turn sand into glass,
26:02to singe those trees and the blister of the roof of that camper.
26:05What's the murder of people?
26:17Hold up.
26:18I'll kill you.
26:23Oh.
26:27Oh.
26:31Come on.
26:31Let's go.
27:02What is it?
27:04It's a grave.
27:06Shallow by the smell of it.
27:14Mulder, what are you doing?
27:18Mulder, you are disturbing a crime scene.
27:24Stop!
27:27What if it's her?
27:28I need to know.
27:31I need to know.
27:31I need to know.
27:35I need to know.
27:39I need to know.
27:43You okay, Mulder?
27:53Fine.
27:59Looks like a male Caucasian.
28:07Sir?
28:13The victim's name was Greg Randall.
28:19Ruby's boyfriend.
28:21Ruby had a lot of boyfriends.
28:23Before you put that away, can I take a look at it?
28:25Go right ahead.
28:43I can take a look at it.
28:51Look at that.
28:53It's her.
28:55The girl from the library.
28:57Who?
28:59We didn't get her name, but she claimed Greg and Ruby had run off together.
29:01Well, Doc Fowler's a buddy of mine.
29:03Delivered both my kids.
29:05I can find out who had that appointment.
29:07I can find out who had that appointment.
29:11Yeah, yeah.
29:39Have a seat, Tessa.
29:41We know that you lied to us the other day.
29:53We know that you had the appointment with Dr. Fowler on August 7th.
29:57We know that you're the one that's pregnant, not Ruby.
30:01And you don't know nothing, do you?
30:03We can prove it, Tessa.
30:05And we can prove that Greg was the father.
30:09So what if he was the father?
30:11This is very serious.
30:13Do you understand how serious this is?
30:17Now, you've waived the right to an attorney.
30:21So if you lie to us here today,
30:25you could be charged with perjury.
30:33He promised me we'd be in L.A. by Christmas.
30:37He had a friend there.
30:39And I'd never seen the ocean.
30:41You said that he and Ruby were seeing each other.
30:45You said that they were planning to meet at the lake.
30:47Is that true?
30:49Look it.
30:51I was nowhere near the lake that night, okay?
30:53Sure you were, Tessa.
30:57You knew they were meeting,
30:59so you sat there and you waited for them.
31:01You were angry and you were jealous.
31:03I wasn't.
31:05You sat there and you waited,
31:07and when they showed, you killed him first.
31:09Isn't that how it went?
31:10No.
31:11You snuck up from behind him and you shot him in the back.
31:13Bam!
31:17And then you killed Ruby.
31:19Bam!
31:21What was she doing right before she died, Tessa?
31:25Was she pleading for her life?
31:27Was she running away?
31:29I didn't kill her.
31:30Where's she buried, Tessa?
31:31I don't know.
31:32You don't know where you buried her, Tessa?
31:34I didn't kill her!
31:36You didn't!
31:37She wasn't even there that night!
31:38Well, how would you know that, Tessa,
31:44if you weren't there yourself?
31:54Mulder, you're not seeing the whole picture here.
31:56Which is?
31:57Which is that in all likelihood, Ruby is dead.
32:00Is that your conclusion or the conclusion
32:02of the Sioux City Sheriff's Department?
32:04They're searching the National Park
32:06and the rescue dive team is coming in from Des Moines
32:09to drag the lake.
32:10They're wasting their time.
32:12Do you really think Tessa Sears is telling the truth?
32:15Why not?
32:16What if Ruby never did show up that night?
32:18She lied to us in the library.
32:20She lied to us about her pregnancy.
32:22What makes you think she wouldn't lie to us about killing Ruby?
32:25Because something was out there in those woods.
32:30We have a suspect in custody.
32:32We have a confession to one mother
32:34and we have a statement which speaks to the intent
32:36to commit another.
32:37It's over, Mulder.
32:39It's time to go home
32:40and turn this over to local law enforcement.
32:43I can't do that.
32:47Mulder, where are you going?
32:48To talk to the boy.
32:49Then they won't even let you in the door.
32:51Well, I've got to see him.
32:52They don't want to have anything to do with us!
32:55Mulder, stop!
32:56Stop running after your sister!
33:03This won't bring her back.
33:07Come with me or don't come with me.
33:09But until they find a body, I'm not giving up on that girl.
33:26Hello?
33:30Mrs. Morris?
33:33Kevin?
33:56What's up?
33:57I'm not wearing a jacket.
33:58No!
34:13Holder.
34:15What does it mean?
34:17I don't know.
34:20I'm going to check upstairs.
34:36Oh, my God.
34:39What is it?
34:41Just come up here.
34:50Look, it's her.
34:56It's Ruby.
35:14This is a long shot, Mona.
35:15They could be anywhere.
35:16You know, when I was a kid, I had this ritual.
35:26I'd close my eyes before I walked into my room.
35:30Because I thought that one day when I opened them, my sister would be there.
35:34Just lying in bed, like nothing ever happened.
35:37You know, I'm still walking into that room.
35:45Every day of my life.
35:53Scully.
35:54Look, there's a trailhead.
36:13Are you okay?
36:34It's here.
36:35I saw it too bad.
36:36Where's Kevin?
36:37I couldn't keep up with him.
36:38Go ahead.
36:39Go ahead.
36:39Go ahead.
36:40Go ahead.
36:43Kevin!
37:10Kevin!
37:12Oh, my God.
37:42Are you okay?
37:43She's back.
37:46Kevin, I'm sorry, but...
37:48She's here. I know it.
37:51Kevin, I don't think she is.
37:53I know how much you wanted it to be her.
37:55I do, too.
38:02Ruby!
38:08Ruby!
38:09She's unconscious, but she's still alive.
38:12I'll get help.
38:21Nurse says she's been awake for almost an hour.
38:24Any ideas what caused the coma?
38:27There's no sign of head trauma,
38:28no narcotic traces or electrolyte abnormalities.
38:31But her white blood cell count was sky high.
38:34By any chance, was there an attendant reduction
38:36in the lymphocyte population
38:38or release of glucocorticoids?
38:41Um...
38:42Actually, both.
38:45How did you know that?
38:46They're symptoms of prolonged weightlessness.
38:49Shuttle astronauts have reported similar imbalances.
38:51I'm going to see her, too.
39:09Ken, you'll see her.
39:09You'll see her.
39:10Hi.
39:11Hi.
39:11Hi, Ruby.
39:20Who are you?
39:22We're with the FBI.
39:24I'm Special Agent Dana Scully, and this is Fox Mulder.
39:30Well, I've always said you might be coming by.
39:33How are you feeling?
39:36Fine, I guess.
39:38Where were you, Ruby?
39:41Can you tell us?
39:44It's okay, Ruby. He knows.
39:50I'm not supposed to tell.
39:53They told me not to say.
39:55Who told you?
40:00Ruby, who told you?
40:03Sweetheart, you don't have to say anything.
40:08You're right.
40:09We should wait till Ruby gets a little stronger.
40:13Can we speak outside for a moment?
40:15I think that it's best that we put all of this behind us.
40:31I mean, hasn't Ruby been through enough already?
40:33I know how disoriented she must seem right now, but in a couple weeks, maybe even a few days, we could...
40:39I don't want her talking to you, or anyone.
40:42She should be encouraged to tell her story, not to keep it inside.
40:46It's important that you let her.
40:47Important to who?
40:49I have my daughter back.
40:52I don't want any more trouble.
40:54Besides, she can hardly remember anything.
40:56She will remember one day, one way or another, even if it's only in dreams.
41:00And when she does, she's going to want to talk about it.
41:02She's going to need to talk about it.
41:04Like I did.
41:08Listen to me.
41:09All of my life, I have been ridiculed for speaking my mind.
41:13But it was the truth, Darlene.
41:15The truth has caused me nothing but heartache.
41:18I don't want the same thing for her.
41:20It doesn't have to be that way for Ruby.
41:22As far as I'm concerned, she spent the last month on the back of a Harley Davidson.
41:30Is that what you're going to tell Kevin?
41:34I'm sorry.
41:52But your eyes are open.
42:09Yeah, they're open.
42:11It's like nothing's happening.
42:13Try turning your head.
42:15I can't.
42:17Why not?
42:19I don't know.
42:20I can't move.
42:24So I don't.
42:27I just lie there in bed.
42:30Can you see your sister?
42:32No.
42:35But I can hear her.
42:37What is she saying?
42:39She's calling out my name over and over again.
42:45She's crying out for help.
42:48But I can't help her.
42:50I can't move.
42:53Are you scared?
42:55I know I should be, but I'm not.
42:58Do you know why?
43:01Because of the voice.
43:03The voice?
43:04The voice in my head.
43:05What's it telling you?
43:07Not to be afraid.
43:08It's telling me that no harm will come to her.
43:14And that one day she'll return.
43:17Do you believe the voice?
43:21I want to believe.
43:22Yes, sir.
43:23I see.
43:34I let this.
43:36I made this!
