Who'd ever wanna leave? 25 00:05:24,075 --> 00:05:27,078 Whoever got locked in here last night, I guess. 26 00:05:27,245 --> 00:05:30,332 That would be one Leonard Morris Betts, age 34. 27 00:05:30,415 --> 00:05:35,337 But it should be noted that when Mr Betts arrived here last night he was sans head. 28 00:05:35,420 --> 00:05:37,255 He was decapitated. 29 00:05:37,380 --> 00:05:40,592 He was an emergency medical technician for this hospital. 30 00:05:40,675 --> 00:05:45,680 - A very good one, apparently. - What about the morgue attendant? 31 00:05:45,764 --> 00:05:48,600 Somebody cold-cocked him and stole his clothes. 32 00:05:48,725 --> 00:05:52,437 He didn't see who. No alarms tripped, no sign of a break-in. 33 00:05:52,521 --> 00:05:55,023 - It's weird, huh? - What are we doing here? 34 00:05:55,106 --> 00:05:57,234 Did I mention Mr Betts had no head? 35 00:05:57,567 --> 00:06:01,029 Yes. So? You're not suggesting that a headless body... 36 00:06:01,112 --> 00:06:04,449 ...kicked its way out of a latched morgue freezer, are you? 37 00:06:04,574 --> 00:06:08,620 Are you? Because I think it's obvious this is a bizarre attempt at a cover-up. 38 00:06:08,787 --> 00:06:12,123 - Meant to conceal what? - Body snatching for profit? 39 00:06:12,207 --> 00:06:15,210 There's a shortage of cadavers at medical schools. 40 00:06:15,293 --> 00:06:18,713 An unscrupulous medical supplier might pay top dollar. 41 00:06:18,797 --> 00:06:22,217 But why take a headless one and leave top-dollar bodies behind? 42 00:06:22,467 --> 00:06:26,638 Sir? Those video grabs you asked for. We found something. 43 00:06:28,598 --> 00:06:33,895 These are from the emergency-room camera, taken at 4.13 this morning. 44 00:06:33,979 --> 00:06:36,606 There's your perpetrator, in the stolen uniform. 45 00:06:36,815 --> 00:06:41,319 You can't see very much on these. What's all this stuff here? 46 00:06:41,444 --> 00:06:45,156 Bad video. The security system isn't exactly state-of-the-art. 47 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,242 What did he do with the corpse he stole? 48 00:06:47,325 --> 00:06:49,744 Maybe he was forced to abandon it. 49 00:06:49,828 --> 00:06:54,082 We combed the facility. Where could he hide a body where it couldn't be found? 50 00:06:54,165 --> 00:06:56,084 I'll show you. 51 00:06:57,586 --> 00:07:01,339 All hospitals operate some form of medical-waste processing. 52 00:07:01,423 --> 00:07:04,259 This unit disposes of surgical remains. 53 00:07:04,801 --> 00:07:10,849 Amputations, excised tumours... They're ground up and heated with microwaves... 54 00:07:10,932 --> 00:07:14,603 ...and the result is a sterile soot that's used as road fill. 55 00:07:14,686 --> 00:07:17,022 Then there's nothing for us to find. 56 00:07:17,147 --> 00:07:20,191 That depends how often they dispose of their waste. 57 00:07:20,275 --> 00:07:22,944 Hopefully, only once every few days. 58 00:07:28,450 --> 00:07:30,035 We're in luck. 59 00:07:30,118 --> 00:07:32,120 Are you sure about this? If you're not sure, 60 00:07:32,203 --> 00:07:35,206 I don't see any reason to disturb all this stuff... 61 00:07:35,332 --> 00:07:39,461 - (squishing sound) - Mulder, I need help. Your arms are longer. 62 00:07:50,055 --> 00:07:52,891 Oh.

Maybe he got it out of here somehow. 67 00:08:08,657 --> 00:08:10,867 Why take time to dispose of the head? 68 00:08:11,076 --> 00:08:14,746 Maybe there's an answer here. Something you should check out. 69 00:08:14,996 --> 00:08:18,708 We know he died in an automobile accident. What more is there to know? 70 00:08:18,833 --> 00:08:21,086 Maybe nothing, but it's all we got. 71 00:08:21,211 --> 00:08:23,755 You should find a place to examine Bette's head. 72 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:28,176 - While you do what? - Check his house. I wanna see how he lives. 73 00:08:28,259 --> 00:08:30,345 - Lived. - Lived. 74 00:08:47,195 --> 00:08:50,281 Case number 226-897.

He didn't let people get that close. 124 00:14:12,228 --> 00:14:16,024 I'm not sure I could call myself his partner. Mostly I stayed out of his way. 125 00:14:16,107 --> 00:14:19,444 - What do you mean? - He was an amazing medical technician. 126 00:14:19,527 --> 00:14:24,115 He could diagnose illness better than any doctor I've ever seen. 127 00:14:24,615 --> 00:14:29,287 You know how they say some people can just look at you and tell you what's wrong? 128 00:14:29,412 --> 00:14:34,709 Leonard could do that.
