This is Agent Mulder. - Hi. Thank you for coming. 26 00:03:55,112 --> 00:03:58,115 - You're welcome. - Heard a lot about you. 27 00:03:58,198 --> 00:04:00,325 We'll talk later. 28 00:04:00,784 --> 00:04:05,205 The missing man is Patrick Newirth, aged 52. 29 00:04:05,330 --> 00:04:09,167 He's a top executive with Morley Tobacco, up here for a meeting. 30 00:04:09,292 --> 00:04:12,504 - He arrived by train. - How do you know he's missing? 31 00:04:12,629 --> 00:04:16,758 He set a wake-up call for 6am. The operator tried, but got no answer. 32 00:04:16,842 --> 00:04:19,845 Mm. Scotch. It looks like he barely touched it. 33 00:04:19,970 --> 00:04:25,350 Needless to say, he missed his meeting. After three hours, they sent hotel security up. 34 00:04:25,475 --> 00:04:31,481 The door was locked, security chain fastened. And when they broke in, no Patrick Newirth. 35 00:04:31,565 --> 00:04:33,984 - Windows? - Locked from the inside. 36 00:04:34,151 --> 00:04:38,363 We're six storeys up, no fire escape. No way in or out of this room. 37 00:04:39,197 --> 00:04:43,410 - Agent Scully, what are you lookin' at? - Uh, the heat register. 38 00:04:44,202 --> 00:04:48,165 - You think anyone could squeeze in there? - You never know. 39 00:04:49,082 --> 00:04:53,170 - You guys turn up any forensics evidence? - Uh, just this. 40 00:04:58,592 --> 00:05:02,012 - Scully, look at this. - What is it? 41 00:05:02,095 --> 00:05:06,391 We don't know. The hotel claims it wasn't here before Mr Newirth checked in. 42 00:05:06,725 --> 00:05:10,312 There were similar burn marks at the previous crime scenes. 43 00:05:10,395 --> 00:05:15,192 - Was Patrick Newirth a smoker? - No. His wife says he loathed cigarettes. 44 00:05:15,692 --> 00:05:19,029 - Yet he worked for a tobacco company. - Did you run a test on it? 45 00:05:19,112 --> 00:05:22,824 Yes, sir. Mostly carbon, with some potassium and trace minerals. 46 00:05:22,908 --> 00:05:27,579 - Could be residue from burnt human flesh. - Does this look like an arm to anybody? 47 00:05:28,872 --> 00:05:31,583 - An arm? - What are you thinkin', Mulder? 48 00:05:33,126 --> 00:05:37,255 This burn mark is right where I'd stand to answer the door, right? 49 00:05:37,380 --> 00:05:40,425 - (Scully) Yes. - And I'd only look out the peephole... 50 00:05:40,550 --> 00:05:44,971 - ...if there was something to look at, right? - That makes sense. 51 00:05:50,769 --> 00:05:54,439 - Could you have this bulb dusted for prints? - Of course. 52 00:05:55,106 --> 00:05:59,194 And can you run those against Mr Newirth's? Do you have his prints? 53 00:05:59,277 --> 00:06:01,821 From his toiletries and check-in slip. 54 00:06:01,947 --> 00:06:05,867 Check them against all hotel employees and guests. 55 00:06:05,951 --> 00:06:10,664 - Anything else? - What's the name of the last missing person? 56 00:06:10,789 --> 00:06:13,333 That would be Margaret Wysnecki. 57 00:06:13,458 --> 00:06:15,752 Thanks. This should do it. 58 00:06:15,835 --> 00:06:18,171 Is this your first case, Detective? 59 00:06:19,798 --> 00:06:22,676 - Yes, sir. - Any idea why they gave it to you? 60 00:06:24,469 --> 00:06:26,596 No one else wanted it. 61 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,850 Because of the lack of evidence, this is still a missing persons case... 62 00:06:30,976 --> 00:06:33,812 ...not likely to end up on the front pages. 63 00:06:33,937 --> 00:06:36,648 I wouldn't be so sure about that. 64 00:06:37,649 --> 00:06:40,277 Can I ask what you think may have happened? 65 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:44,489 At first blush? Spontaneous human combustion. 66 00:06:48,159 --> 00:06:50,287 You're doing just fine. 67 00:06:50,787 --> 00:06:53,456 - Having a little fun? - What do you mean? 68 00:06:53,540 --> 00:06:58,044 - Spontaneous human combustion? - I have case files of bodies reduced to ash... 69 00:06:58,169 --> 00:07:02,465 ...with no attendant burning or melting. Rapid oxidation without heat. 70 00:07:02,549 --> 00:07:06,720 Let's forget that there's no scientific theory to support it. 71 00:07:06,845 --> 00:07:08,888 OK. 72 00:07:43,673 --> 00:07:46,426 Hey, Scully.

Why should the prints on the bulb mean anything? 86 00:09:01,584 --> 00:09:03,628 I don't know. 87 00:09:07,424 --> 00:09:12,470 Oh, look at this, Scully.

Nothing here puts her near the train station. 92 00:09:31,197 --> 00:09:34,993 - Maybe that detail was overlooked. - What's the significance? 93 00:09:35,118 --> 00:09:41,040 Maybe these people are being hunted, and the hunter's working the train station. 94 00:09:41,166 --> 00:09:43,877 What about spontaneous human combustion? 95 00:09:44,002 --> 00:09:47,464 Maybe it's not spontaneous. Call your young detective... 96 00:09:47,547 --> 00:09:51,176 ...and tell her to get a detail down to the train station. 97 00:10:49,526 --> 00:10:54,948 (policeman) Suspicious male in the alley behind the station.
