So? You're not suggesting that a headless body... 29 00:06:01,111 --> 00:06:04,448 Kicked its way out of a latched morgue freezer, are you? 30 00:06:04,573 --> 00:06:08,619 Are you? Because I think it's obvious this is a bizarre attempt at a cover-up. 31 00:06:08,786 --> 00:06:12,122 - Meant to conceal what? - Body snatching for profit? 32 00:06:12,206 --> 00:06:15,209 There's a shortage of cadavers at medical schools. 33 00:06:15,292 --> 00:06:18,712 An unscrupulous medical supplier might pay top dollar. 34 00:06:18,796 --> 00:06:22,216 But why take a headless one and leave top-dollar bodies behind? 35 00:06:22,466 --> 00:06:26,637 Sir? Those video grabs you asked for. We found something. 36 00:06:28,597 --> 00:06:33,894 These are from the emergency-room camera, taken at 4.13 this morning. 37 00:06:33,978 --> 00:06:36,605 There's your perpetrator, in the stolen uniform. 38 00:06:36,814 --> 00:06:41,318 You can't see very much on these. What's all this stuff here? 39 00:06:41,443 --> 00:06:45,155 Bad video. The security system isn't exactly state-of—the-art. 40 00:06:45,239 --> 00:06:47,241 What did he do with the corpse he stole? 41 00:06:47,324 --> 00:06:49,743 Maybe he was forced to abandon it. 42 00:06:49,827 --> 00:06:54,081 We combed the facility. Where could he hide a body where it couldn't be found? 43 00:06:54,164 --> 00:06:56,083 I'll show you. 44 00:06:57,585 --> 00:07:01,338 All hospitals operate some form of medical-waste processing. 45 00:07:01,422 --> 00:07:04,258 This unit disposes of surgical remains. 46 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:10,848 Amputations, excised tumours... they're ground up and heated with microwaves... 47 00:07:10,931 --> 00:07:14,602 And the result is a sterile soot that's used as road fill. 48 00:07:14,685 --> 00:07:17,021 Then there's nothing for us to find. 49 00:07:17,146 --> 00:07:20,190 That depends how often they dispose of their waste. 50 00:07:20,274 --> 00:07:22,943 Hopefully, only once every few days. 51 00:07:28,449 --> 00:07:30,034 We're in luck. 52 00:07:30,117 --> 00:07:32,119 Are you sure about this? If you're not sure, 53 00:07:32,202 --> 00:07:35,205 I don't see any reason to disturb all this stuff... 54 00:07:35,331 --> 00:07:39,460 Mulder, I need help. Your arms are longer. 55 00:07:50,054 --> 00:07:52,890 Oh.

Maybe he got it out of here somehow. 60 00:08:08,656 --> 00:08:10,866 Why take time to dispose of the head? 61 00:08:11,075 --> 00:08:14,745 Maybe there's an answer here. Something you should check out. 62 00:08:14,995 --> 00:08:18,707 We know he died in an automobile accident. What more is there to know? 63 00:08:18,832 --> 00:08:21,085 Maybe nothing, but it's all we got. 64 00:08:21,210 --> 00:08:23,754 You should find a place to examine betts's head. 65 00:08:23,879 --> 00:08:28,175 - While you do what? - Check his house. I wanna see how he lives. 66 00:08:28,258 --> 00:08:30,344 - Lived. - Lived. 67 00:08:47,194 --> 00:08:50,280 Case number 226-897.

She was given a lethal dose of potassium chloride. 271 00:27:00,286 --> 00:27:04,457 It's an electrolyte found naturally in the body. A coroner doesn't check for it. 272 00:27:04,540 --> 00:27:08,544 Betts was here. She discovered that, then he killed her to protect his secret. 273 00:27:08,628 --> 00:27:11,047 The security guard did ID him as her attacker. 274 00:27:11,130 --> 00:27:14,634 He worked as an EMT, but his co-workers said his name was truelove. 275 00:27:14,717 --> 00:27:18,262 Do you know how this man escaped?

It's a process of steps, not leaps. 281 00:27:34,195 --> 00:27:39,075 Recent evolutionary theory would disagree. What scientists call punctual equilibrium... 282 00:27:39,158 --> 00:27:42,870 Theorises that evolutionary advances are cataclysmic, not gradual. 283 00:27:42,954 --> 00:27:47,583 That evolution occurs not along a straight graphable line but in huge fits and starts... 284 00:27:47,667 --> 00:27:50,086 And the unimaginable happens in the gaps. 285 00:27:50,169 --> 00:27:52,922 The gap between what we are and what betts has become. 286 00:27:53,005 --> 00:27:55,633 What you're describing is someone so evolved... 287 00:27:55,716 --> 00:27:58,344 That you wouldn't even call him human. 288 00:27:58,678 --> 00:28:02,890 On the other hand, how evolved can a man be who drives a dodge dart? 289 00:28:14,443 --> 00:28:18,197 Oh, my god.

We have a warrant to search the premises. 305 00:29:18,090 --> 00:29:21,928 Mrs Tanner, we know your son is alive and that you're in contact with him. 306 00:29:22,011 --> 00:29:24,555 You need to tell us where we can find him. 307 00:29:26,307 --> 00:29:29,685 Last night he murdered a woman in cold blood. 308 00:29:29,810 --> 00:29:34,190 By lying to protect him, you are considered an accessory to murder. 309 00:29:35,066 --> 00:29:39,320 Can you tell me what you use this for? It's a pretty big bottle. 310 00:29:39,570 --> 00:29:41,864 You get a lot of cuts? 311 00:29:42,323 --> 00:29:45,117 When my son was eight years old... 312 00:29:45,201 --> 00:29:49,622 There were two boys who picked on him because he was different. 313 00:29:49,705 --> 00:29:54,168 He just ignored them. He knew he was better than they were. 314 00:29:55,711 --> 00:29:59,632 One day they cornered him walking home. Beat him up. 315 00:29:59,924 --> 00:30:04,512 He didn't even try to fight back. Just lay there, taking the blows. 316 00:30:05,221 --> 00:30:09,225 So I don't believe you when you tell me he killed anyone. 317 00:30:10,142 --> 00:30:12,812 But, if he did, he had his reasons. 318 00:30:13,771 --> 00:30:17,900 - What reasons, mrs Tanner? - God put him here for a purpose. 319 00:30:18,192 --> 00:30:22,989 God means for him to stay, even if people don't understand. 320 00:30:24,365 --> 00:30:26,867 And that's all I've got to say. 321 00:31:41,942 --> 00:31:44,028 Excuse me. 322 00:31:45,821 --> 00:31:49,450 I'm sorry, but you've got something I need. 323 00:31:53,788 --> 00:31:55,873 Scully? 324 00:31:57,750 --> 00:32:01,921 - Find something? - No sign.
