1
00:00:07,134 --> 00:00:09,219
Help!

2
00:00:11,597 --> 00:00:13,640
Help!

3
00:00:13,724 --> 00:00:15,809
Somebody help me!

4
00:00:20,272 --> 00:00:22,357
Help!

5
00:00:24,776 --> 00:00:27,863
Agh! He's gonna kill me!

6
00:00:29,656 --> 00:00:33,452
Help! God! Somebody help me!

7
00:00:34,661 --> 00:00:36,455
Go away!

8
00:00:37,915 --> 00:00:39,291
Help!

9
00:00:44,171 --> 00:00:46,256
Please help me!

10
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,725
Help!

11
00:01:05,567 --> 00:01:07,653
Mulder?

12
00:01:23,335 --> 00:01:25,420
Look at that.

13
00:01:28,131 --> 00:01:30,217
Huh? Huh?

14
00:01:44,106 --> 00:01:45,232
Oh, shi...

15
00:02:44,624 --> 00:02:46,710
- Mulder...
- Don't.

16
00:02:47,586 --> 00:02:50,255
Don't even start with me.

17
00:03:06,646 --> 00:03:08,732
I know what I saw.

18
00:03:14,738 --> 00:03:17,574
Skinner wants a report in one hour.

19
00:03:19,493 --> 00:03:21,870
- What will you tell him?
- What do you mean?

20
00:03:21,953 --> 00:03:24,831
I'm going to tell him exactly what I saw.

21
00:03:25,374 --> 00:03:29,503
- What are you gonna tell him?
- I'll tell him exactly what <i>I</i> saw.

22
00:03:30,212 --> 00:03:32,631
Now, how is that different?

23
00:03:33,340 --> 00:03:35,425
Look, I'm the one who may go to prison.

24
00:03:35,509 --> 00:03:38,845
I gotta know if you're gonna
back me up, or what?

25
00:03:38,929 --> 00:03:44,518
First of all, if the family of Ronnie Strickland
does indeed decide to sue the FBI for

26
00:03:44,601 --> 00:03:47,979
I think the figure is $446 million,

27
00:03:48,063 --> 00:03:51,358
then you and I both
will most certainly be codefendants.

28
00:03:51,441 --> 00:03:56,029
And second of all... I don't
even have a second of all, Mulder.

29
00:03:56,113 --> 00:03:58,949
$446 million.

30
00:03:59,032 --> 00:04:02,411
I'm in this as deep as you,
and I'm not the one that overreacted!

31
00:04:02,494 --> 00:04:04,371
I didn't do the... With the thing.

32
00:04:04,454 --> 00:04:07,082
I did not overreact.
Strickland was a vampire.

33
00:04:07,374 --> 00:04:10,669
- Where's your proof?
- You're my proof. You were there.

34
00:04:10,752 --> 00:04:13,672
OK, now you're scaring me.
What will you tell Skinner?

35
00:04:13,755 --> 00:04:18,468
- Oh, you want our stories straight.
- I just want to hear it the way you saw it.

36
00:04:19,010 --> 00:04:21,763
- I don't feel comfortable with that.
- Prison.

37
00:04:21,847 --> 00:04:27,477
Your cellmate's nickname is gonna be Large
Marge. She's gonna read Gertrude Stein.

38
00:04:29,312 --> 00:04:32,232
- All right.
- All right. Start at the beginning.

39
00:04:34,151 --> 00:04:36,486
The very beginning?

40
00:04:40,407 --> 00:04:42,909
Fine.

41
00:04:45,954 --> 00:04:50,667
Yesterday morning, when I arrived at work,

42
00:04:50,750 --> 00:04:52,836
you were, uh...

43
00:04:53,378 --> 00:04:55,922
characteristically exuberant.

44
00:04:56,423 --> 00:05:00,343
- Hope you brought your cowboy boots.
- You want us to go to Dallas?

45
00:05:00,427 --> 00:05:02,554
Yee-ha! Actually, a town called Chaney

46
00:05:02,637 --> 00:05:05,307
about 50 miles south of there,
population 361.

47
00:05:05,390 --> 00:05:08,351
By all accounts very rustic
and charming, but as of late,

48
00:05:08,435 --> 00:05:11,605
the locus for a series
of nocturnal exsanguinations.

49
00:05:11,855 --> 00:05:14,941
Exsanguinations? Of whom?

50
00:05:15,025 --> 00:05:17,611
How does that grab ya?

51
00:05:18,737 --> 00:05:20,655
- It's a...
- Dead cow. Exactly.

52
00:05:20,739 --> 00:05:24,326
A dead 900-pound Holstein,
its body completely drained of blood.

53
00:05:24,409 --> 00:05:30,040
As was this one, this one, this one,
this one, and so on. Six, all in all.

54
00:05:30,123 --> 00:05:32,834
- One a week over six weeks.
- Is there any sign of...?

55
00:05:32,918 --> 00:05:35,253
- Two puncture wounds?
- Not what I was gonna ask.

56
00:05:35,337 --> 00:05:38,673
Too bad, we got 'em. Check it out.

57
00:05:38,757 --> 00:05:42,302
Well, these may be syringe marks
meant to emulate fangs.

58
00:05:42,385 --> 00:05:48,266
Such ritualistic blood-letting points towards
cultists of some sort, in which case...

59
00:05:48,350 --> 00:05:51,394
- What?
- Yeah, that's probably it. Satanic cultists.

60
00:05:51,478 --> 00:05:53,063
Come on!

61
00:05:53,146 --> 00:05:55,440
You don't think
it's the Mexican goatsucker?

62
00:05:55,524 --> 00:05:59,903
El Chupacabra? They got four fangs, not
two. And they suck goats, hence the name.

63
00:05:59,986 --> 00:06:02,197
So, instead, this would be?

64
00:06:02,280 --> 00:06:04,407
Classic vampirism.

65
00:06:04,491 --> 00:06:06,535
- Of cows.
- And one dead human.

66
00:06:06,618 --> 00:06:09,829
A vacationer from New Jersey.
Come on, we gotta go.

67
00:06:09,913 --> 00:06:14,584
- Why didn't you tell me that from the start?
- Lock the door on your way out.

68
00:06:15,502 --> 00:06:19,214
<i>(Scully) The town of Chaney is too small
to maintain a morgue facility.</i>

69
00:06:19,297 --> 00:06:23,927
<i>As such, we made our way to
the Peaceful Slumbers funeral home</i>

70
00:06:24,010 --> 00:06:29,349
<i>in order to examine the body of one
Mr Dwight Funt, recently deceased.</i>

71
00:06:32,644 --> 00:06:38,024
<i>It was there that we were met by
a representative of local law enforcement.</i>

72
00:06:38,108 --> 00:06:42,112
<i>- Sheriff...
- Lucius Hartwell.</i>

73
00:06:42,612 --> 00:06:45,156
- You the FBI agents?
- Yes, I'm...

74
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,993
<i>Agents</i> Mulder and... <i>(clicks his fingers)</i>

75
00:06:48,201 --> 00:06:53,123
- Scully. Let's go take a look at your victim.
- Yeah, by all means. After you.

76
00:06:57,961 --> 00:07:01,548
Come on, Scully, get those
little legs movin'. Come on.

77
00:07:05,135 --> 00:07:07,220
Boy.

78
00:07:09,472 --> 00:07:11,558
Here we go.

79
00:07:12,100 --> 00:07:14,185
Nice threads!

80
00:07:16,104 --> 00:07:17,606
No exam has been done?

81
00:07:17,689 --> 00:07:21,109
No. He's just like we found him in the motel.

82
00:07:21,192 --> 00:07:26,281
Once I heard you folks were interested, I
figured we'd best leave it up to the experts.

83
00:07:26,364 --> 00:07:29,784
Your satanic cultists
have some sharp little teeth.

84
00:07:31,161 --> 00:07:35,040
- What satanic cultists?
- Go ahead. Tell him your "theory".

85
00:07:37,500 --> 00:07:39,669
Well, my theory has evolved.

86
00:07:40,629 --> 00:07:45,342
Basically, I think we're looking for someone
who has seen too many Bela Lugosi movies.

87
00:07:45,425 --> 00:07:50,847
- He believes he is a vampire, therefore...
- They act like one, yeah. Yeah.

88
00:07:50,930 --> 00:07:53,475
That makes a whole lot of sense.

89
00:07:53,558 --> 00:07:56,394
- I think she's right.
- What about the fang marks?

90
00:07:56,853 --> 00:08:00,565
Well, someone so obsessed
might well file down their incisors.

91
00:08:00,649 --> 00:08:03,943
A moulage casting should
help us make an identification.

92
00:08:04,027 --> 00:08:06,279
Moulage casting.

93
00:08:06,363 --> 00:08:08,865
That's a good idea.

94
00:08:08,948 --> 00:08:13,161
Now, isn't there some kind of disease

95
00:08:13,244 --> 00:08:15,955
that makes a person think
that they're a vampire?

96
00:08:16,039 --> 00:08:20,043
Well, there is a psychological fixation
called haematodipsia,

97
00:08:20,126 --> 00:08:26,132
which causes the sufferer to gain erotic
satisfaction from consuming human blood.

98
00:08:26,257 --> 00:08:29,344
Erotic... Yeah.

99
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,765
There are also genetic afflictions

100
00:08:33,848 --> 00:08:38,478
which cause a heightened
sensitivity to light, to garlic...

101
00:08:38,812 --> 00:08:42,941
Porphyria. Xeroderma pigmentosum.

102
00:08:45,652 --> 00:08:49,114
You really know your stuff, Dana.

103
00:08:49,197 --> 00:08:51,700
"Dana"?

104
00:08:51,783 --> 00:08:54,369
He never even knew your first name!

105
00:08:56,037 --> 00:08:59,874
- You gonna interrupt me or what?
- No. Go ahead.

106
00:09:02,210 --> 00:09:04,087
Dana.

107
00:09:04,170 --> 00:09:09,926
Anyway, that's when you had
your big breakthrough. Whatever.

108
00:09:10,301 --> 00:09:13,346
Agent Scully, you really know your stuff.

109
00:09:13,430 --> 00:09:16,641
Sheriff, you say this man
is exactly as you found him?

110
00:09:16,725 --> 00:09:18,810
Yes, sir, to the letter.

111
00:09:19,728 --> 00:09:23,106
Have you noticed that
this man's shoes are untied?

112
00:09:24,482 --> 00:09:27,026
- Yeah, they sure are.
- What's your point?

113
00:09:27,152 --> 00:09:29,696
This means something.

114
00:09:29,779 --> 00:09:35,118
Sheriff, do you have a cemetery in town,
off the beaten path - the creepier the better?

115
00:09:35,201 --> 00:09:36,870
Uh, yeah.

116
00:09:37,704 --> 00:09:39,456
- Take me there.
- Mulder.

117
00:09:39,539 --> 00:09:42,709
Scully, we're gonna need
a complete autopsy on this man.

118
00:09:42,876 --> 00:09:45,420
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

119
00:09:49,340 --> 00:09:51,426
What am I even looking for?

120
00:09:54,137 --> 00:09:56,222
I don't know.

121
00:10:01,519 --> 00:10:04,314
- He does that.
- Come on, Sheriff Hartwell.

122
00:10:08,485 --> 00:10:10,570
Ma'am.

123
00:10:36,971 --> 00:10:39,349
4.54pm.

124
00:10:39,432 --> 00:10:42,852
Begin autopsy on white male, aged 60,

125
00:10:43,812 --> 00:10:47,232
who is arguably having
a worse time in Texas than I am.

126
00:10:48,358 --> 00:10:52,529
Although not by much.
I'll begin with the Y incision.

127
00:10:57,283 --> 00:10:59,369
Yee-ha.

128
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,667
Heart weighs 370 grams.

129
00:11:05,750 --> 00:11:07,836
Tissue appears healthy.

130
00:11:10,213 --> 00:11:13,049
Left lung weighs 345 grams.

131
00:11:13,132 --> 00:11:15,218
Tissue appears healthy.

132
00:11:19,889 --> 00:11:24,519
Large intestine, 890 grams.

133
00:11:24,602 --> 00:11:26,688
Yadda, yadda, yadda.

134
00:11:33,403 --> 00:11:37,824
Stomach contents show
last meal close to the time of death.

135
00:11:38,741 --> 00:11:42,203
Consisting of... pizza.

136
00:11:43,246 --> 00:11:45,915
TOPPQd With pepperoni,

137
00:11:46,457 --> 00:11:48,751
green peppers,

138
00:11:48,835 --> 00:11:50,920
mushrooms...

139
00:11:52,088 --> 00:11:54,173
Mushrooms...

140
00:11:56,384 --> 00:11:58,469
That sounds really good.

141
00:12:02,223 --> 00:12:07,228
<i>Having completed the autopsy, I checked
into the Davey Crockett Motor Court.</i>

142
00:12:07,312 --> 00:12:11,566
<i>(Mulder) The name of it was actually
the Sam Houston Motor Lodge.</i>

143
00:12:16,863 --> 00:12:18,948
<i>(contented sigh)</i>

144
00:12:24,746 --> 00:12:26,581
Oh, my God.

145
00:12:29,751 --> 00:12:32,378
Chloral hydrate.

146
00:12:32,462 --> 00:12:34,547
What?

147
00:12:35,632 --> 00:12:38,217
What the hell happened to you?

148
00:12:38,301 --> 00:12:42,138
Nothin'. Chloral hydrate?

149
00:12:42,221 --> 00:12:45,975
That thing you didn't know
you were looking for: chloral hydrate.

150
00:12:46,059 --> 00:12:48,519
More colourfully known as knockout drops.

151
00:12:48,603 --> 00:12:53,066
I found it in abundance when I sent
the tox screen in on our murder victim.

152
00:12:53,983 --> 00:12:58,404
- No, seriously, what happened to you?
- Nothing. Who slipped him the Mickey?

153
00:12:58,738 --> 00:13:01,950
My "theory"? Your vampire.

154
00:13:02,033 --> 00:13:04,577
He found it necessary to dope poor Mr Funt

155
00:13:04,661 --> 00:13:08,081
to the gills before he could
extract his blood.

156
00:13:08,164 --> 00:13:10,291
Probably did it to the cows, too.

157
00:13:11,250 --> 00:13:13,920
What kind of vampire would do that?

158
00:13:14,003 --> 00:13:16,506
Exactly.

159
00:13:19,467 --> 00:13:22,470
We got another dead tourist.
You gotta do another autopsy.

160
00:13:22,553 --> 00:13:24,597
Tonight?

161
00:13:26,182 --> 00:13:28,601
I just put money in the Magic Fingers.

162
00:13:28,685 --> 00:13:30,770
I won't let it go to waste.

163
00:13:38,486 --> 00:13:40,571
<i>(Mulder chuckles)</i>

164
00:13:49,580 --> 00:13:52,959
This one's my room, Mulder.
Don't get mud everywhere.

165
00:13:53,334 --> 00:13:56,170
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. OK.

166
00:13:56,254 --> 00:13:58,798
<i>(chuckles)</i>

167
00:14:04,470 --> 00:14:07,223
Excuse me, ma'am. Did you order a pizza?

168
00:14:07,306 --> 00:14:10,518
Yeah. The guy in there'll pay for it.

169
00:14:27,910 --> 00:14:30,413
<i>Forgoing both dinner and sleep,</i>

170
00:14:30,496 --> 00:14:35,710
<i>I was soon back at the funeral home
examining one Mr Paul Lombardo,</i>

171
00:14:35,793 --> 00:14:38,004
<i>from Naples, Florida.</i>

172
00:14:39,922 --> 00:14:41,883
Head.

00:14:41,966 --> 00:14:44,093
Lung.

174
00:14:44,177 --> 00:14:46,262
Large intestine.

175
00:14:54,270 --> 00:14:59,901
As with the previous victim, it appears that
the subject was most likely incapacitated

176
00:14:59,984 --> 00:15:02,862
with chloral hydrate
and then exsanguinated.

177
00:15:02,945 --> 00:15:05,031
<i>(Phone)</i>

178
00:15:06,407 --> 00:15:12,371
The drug was either injected or ingested -
I'm not sure which.

179
00:15:16,417 --> 00:15:19,337
<i>- Scully.
- (muffled breathing)</i>

180
00:15:20,129 --> 00:15:22,215
Hello?

181
00:15:23,716 --> 00:15:25,802
Hello?

182
00:15:39,190 --> 00:15:42,527
Where was I? Stomach contents.

183
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,700
Stomach contents include...

184
00:15:50,535 --> 00:15:52,620
pizza.

185
00:15:54,747 --> 00:15:57,542
The chloral hydrate's in the pizza.

186
00:15:57,625 --> 00:15:59,710
The pizza guy.

187
00:15:59,794 --> 00:16:00,962
Mulder!

188
00:16:02,547 --> 00:16:04,632
Mulder?

189
00:16:24,777 --> 00:16:26,863
That's it?

190
00:16:26,946 --> 00:16:29,240
Well, luckily, I'd gotten there in time.

191
00:16:29,490 --> 00:16:33,995
I mean, though you were drugged,
you were more or less unharmed.

192
00:16:35,538 --> 00:16:38,374
Mulder? Are you OK?

193
00:16:40,710 --> 00:16:44,797
Who's the black private dick
who's a sex machine with all the chicks?

194
00:16:44,881 --> 00:16:46,007
Shafi

195
00:16:46,090 --> 00:16:49,677
Can ya dig it?
They say this cat Shaft is a bad mother...

196
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,346
Shut your mouth. Talkin' 'bout Shaft.

197
00:16:52,471 --> 00:16:55,641
I did n01'.

198
00:16:55,725 --> 00:16:57,810
Long story short.

199
00:16:58,811 --> 00:17:03,232
Though my first four shots obviously
missed Ronnie Strickland entirely,

200
00:17:03,316 --> 00:17:06,736
with my fifth I was able
to shoot out a tyre on his car,

201
00:17:06,819 --> 00:17:09,405
forcing him to escape on foot.

202
00:17:09,488 --> 00:17:12,783
I left you behind and I entered
the woods in pursuit.

203
00:17:13,201 --> 00:17:18,456
I assumed that you were incapacitated.
Then I heard screaming.

204
00:17:18,539 --> 00:17:22,084
When I arrived in the clearing,
I found you'd caught up with him first

205
00:17:22,168 --> 00:17:24,921
and had... overreacted.

206
00:17:26,172 --> 00:17:30,259
- And that his vampire teeth were fake.
- That's what you'll tell Skinner?

207
00:17:30,343 --> 00:17:33,638
Well, I'm gonna argue
that we caught a killer.

208
00:17:33,721 --> 00:17:38,017
An utterly nonsupernatural killer,
but a killer, nonetheless.

209
00:17:38,100 --> 00:17:40,394
And that your zeal to catch up with him

210
00:17:40,478 --> 00:17:42,897
was augmented by
the chloral hydrate you were given.

211
00:17:43,773 --> 00:17:45,524
- You are afraid to tell the truth.
- Excuse me?

212
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,611
That's not it at all. What are you afraid of?

213
00:17:48,694 --> 00:17:52,949
That if you tell it the way it really happened,
you'll look like an idiot - like me?

214
00:17:53,032 --> 00:17:57,203
Mulder, why don't you tell me
the way you think it happened?

215
00:17:58,204 --> 00:18:00,414
Starting at the beginning.

216
00:18:00,498 --> 00:18:05,544
You're damn right. Yesterday morning
began like any other morning.

217
00:18:05,628 --> 00:18:09,131
You arrived at the office
characteristically less than exuberant.

218
00:18:09,215 --> 00:18:11,634
I hope you brought your cowboy boots.

219
00:18:13,094 --> 00:18:15,471
Why are we going to Dallas?

220
00:18:15,554 --> 00:18:19,183
Actually, it's a little town
south of there called Chaney, Texas.

221
00:18:19,267 --> 00:18:23,396
They've had some incidents down there
recently which are pretty unusual.

222
00:18:23,479 --> 00:18:25,064
Like what?

223
00:18:25,147 --> 00:18:29,443
I brought some slides with which
to better illustrate. Here we go.

224
00:18:33,572 --> 00:18:37,326
- It's a dead cow.
- It's actually six dead cows.

225
00:18:37,410 --> 00:18:41,539
- And here's the interesting thing...
- Why am I looking at six dead cows?

226
00:18:41,622 --> 00:18:47,169
Um, because of the way in which they died.
All six were mysteriously exsanguinated.

227
00:18:47,253 --> 00:18:50,881
- And?
- And two little puncture marks on the neck.

228
00:18:51,090 --> 00:18:53,175
Look. I got a slide of that.

229
00:19:07,898 --> 00:19:12,695
And, um, one dead human victim.
Last night. A vacationer from New Jersey.

230
00:19:12,778 --> 00:19:17,867
His body completely drained of blood
and two little puncture wounds on his neck.

231
00:19:20,244 --> 00:19:24,081
OK, look, Scully, I don't want to
jump to any hasty conclusions,

232
00:19:24,165 --> 00:19:28,586
but on the strength of the evidence that we
have, I think that what we may be looking at

233
00:19:28,669 --> 00:19:33,549
is what appears to be a series
of vampire or vampirelike attacks.

234
00:19:33,632 --> 00:19:35,885
On what do you base that?

235
00:19:35,968 --> 00:19:42,224
Uh, well, on the corpses drained of blood
and the fang marks on the neck.

236
00:19:43,351 --> 00:19:46,145
But, as always, I'm very eager
to hear your opinion.

237
00:19:46,228 --> 00:19:49,482
- Well, it's obviously not a vampire.
- Well, why not?

238
00:19:50,566 --> 00:19:52,651
Because they don't exist?

239
00:19:52,735 --> 00:19:57,365
Well, that's one opinion and I respect that.

240
00:19:57,448 --> 00:20:00,284
Nonetheless, a murder
has been committed here,

241
00:20:00,368 --> 00:20:02,661
and we can help bring a killer to justice -

242
00:20:02,745 --> 00:20:07,500
in whatever form,
mortal or immortal, he may take.

243
00:20:08,417 --> 00:20:12,004
It's not that Mexican goatsucker either.

244
00:20:14,882 --> 00:20:17,843
<i>(Mulder) Upon arrival,
I made an interesting observation.</i>

245
00:20:17,927 --> 00:20:20,262
<i>One which you apparently didn't hear.</i>

246
00:20:20,554 --> 00:20:25,393
- That's a whole lot of caskets.
- Largest in-stock selection in the state.

247
00:20:25,476 --> 00:20:29,021
Well, why would a town
with a population of only 361 need that?

248
00:20:29,522 --> 00:20:31,607
Repeat business.

249
00:20:34,568 --> 00:20:37,405
Mortician humour. Excuse me.

250
00:20:40,616 --> 00:20:44,078
<i>(Mulder) Apparently,
your mind was somewhere else.</i>

251
00:20:44,161 --> 00:20:46,664
Oh, boy!

252
00:20:50,626 --> 00:20:52,962
Y'all must be the government people.

253
00:20:53,087 --> 00:20:55,214
I'm Lucius Hartwell.

254
00:20:59,135 --> 00:21:02,430
He had big buckteeth?

255
00:21:02,513 --> 00:21:05,307
- He had a slight overbite.
- No, he didn't.

256
00:21:07,309 --> 00:21:10,396
And that's significant? How?

257
00:21:10,479 --> 00:21:13,399
I'm just trying to be thorough.

258
00:21:13,691 --> 00:21:17,611
- So anyway, we went to look at the body.
- Here we go.

259
00:21:18,612 --> 00:21:23,576
- No exam has been done?
- This is just like we found him in the motel.

260
00:21:25,077 --> 00:21:27,371
No exam has been done?

261
00:21:27,455 --> 00:21:29,582
Uh, no, ma'am.

262
00:21:30,291 --> 00:21:35,796
Once I heard y'all was interested,
I figured we'd best leave it to the experts.

263
00:21:43,012 --> 00:21:47,516
Now, uh... that can't be
what it looks like, right?

264
00:21:48,767 --> 00:21:51,353
It depends on what you think it looks like.

265
00:21:51,479 --> 00:21:53,147
Vampires have always been with us,

266
00:21:53,230 --> 00:21:56,066
in myths and stories
passed down from early man.

267
00:21:56,233 --> 00:21:59,570
From the Babylonian Ekimmu,
to the Chinese Kuang-Shi,

268
00:21:59,653 --> 00:22:00,988
the Motetz Dam of the Hebrews,

269
00:22:01,197 --> 00:22:06,327
the Mormo of ancient Greece and Rome,
right down to the more familiar Nosferatu.

270
00:22:06,744 --> 00:22:09,038
Mormo, yeah.

271
00:22:09,121 --> 00:22:12,374
In short, Sheriff, no,
this can't be what it looks like.

272
00:22:12,458 --> 00:22:16,962
I think what we're dealing with here
is simply a case of some lunatic,

273
00:22:17,087 --> 00:22:20,424
who, uh, has watched too many
Bela Lugosi movies.

274
00:22:20,508 --> 00:22:25,471
He wishes that he could transfigure
himself into a creature of the night.

275
00:22:25,679 --> 00:22:27,765
Yeah, OK.

276
00:22:29,517 --> 00:22:34,146
What she said, that's what
I'm thinkin', and, uh...

277
00:22:34,522 --> 00:22:37,733
- Yeah.
- But still that leaves us in a quandary,

278
00:22:37,816 --> 00:22:40,152
because there are
as many kinds of vampires

279
00:22:40,236 --> 00:22:42,029
as there are cultures that fear them.

280
00:22:42,112 --> 00:22:47,117
Some don't even subsist on blood.
The Bulgarian Ubour eats only manure.

281
00:22:47,201 --> 00:22:48,369
Thank you.

282
00:22:48,452 --> 00:22:52,081
To the Serbs, a prime indicator
of vampirism was red hair.

283
00:22:53,165 --> 00:22:55,209
Uh, some vampires
are thought to be eternal,

284
00:22:55,292 --> 00:22:57,670
others to have a life span of only 40 days.

285
00:22:57,753 --> 00:23:03,217
Sunlight kills certain vampires, while others
are thought to come and go as they please.

286
00:23:03,300 --> 00:23:05,844
If there is a point, feel free to come to it.

287
00:23:05,928 --> 00:23:11,225
We don't know exactly what we're looking
for. What kind of vampire or, if you prefer,

288
00:23:11,308 --> 00:23:14,353
what kind of vampire
this killer wishes himself to be.

289
00:23:27,616 --> 00:23:31,328
Now, why is it so important
that his shoes were untied?

290
00:23:31,412 --> 00:23:34,582
We're gettin' to it. So,
while you did the autopsy,

291
00:23:34,665 --> 00:23:36,792
the sheriff drove me to the town cemetery.

292
00:23:42,464 --> 00:23:46,844
Agent Mulder, you mind me
askin' you why we're out here?

293
00:23:46,927 --> 00:23:50,889
Historically, cemeteries are
thought to be a haven for vampires,

294
00:23:50,973 --> 00:23:55,019
as are castles, catacombs and swamps -
but you don't have any of those.

295
00:23:55,102 --> 00:24:00,274
We used to have swamps, only the EPA
made us take to callin' 'em wetlands.

296
00:24:00,357 --> 00:24:03,485
Yeah. So we're here
lookin' for signs of vampiric activity.

297
00:24:03,694 --> 00:24:05,362
Which would be...

298
00:24:05,613 --> 00:24:09,283
Broken or shifted tombstones,
the absence of birds singing.

299
00:24:09,366 --> 00:24:13,704
There you go. Cos I ain't
hearin' any birds singin'.

300
00:24:14,246 --> 00:24:20,586
Right? Course it's winter and we ain't got
no birds, but... ls there anything else?

301
00:24:21,086 --> 00:24:24,298
A faint groaning -
the sound of manducation,

302
00:24:24,381 --> 00:24:26,925
of the creature eating its own death shroud.

303
00:24:29,845 --> 00:24:32,973
No. No man... ma... ma...

304
00:24:33,098 --> 00:24:35,517
- Manducation.
- ..manducation, no.

305
00:24:35,601 --> 00:24:38,812
Sheriff, I know my methods
may seem a little odd to you, but...

306
00:24:38,896 --> 00:24:42,566
Look, y'all work for the federal government.
That's all I need to know.

307
00:24:42,650 --> 00:24:45,944
I mean, CIA, secret service,
y'all run the show, so...

308
00:24:46,028 --> 00:24:50,074
It's just that my gut instinct tells me
that the killer will visit this place.

309
00:24:50,157 --> 00:24:55,371
That it may well hold some fascination,
some kind of siren call for him, you know?

310
00:24:56,330 --> 00:24:58,874
<i>(car horn)</i>

311
00:24:58,957 --> 00:25:02,961
- Howdy, Sheriff.
- Oh, hey, Ronnie. How's it goin'?

312
00:25:03,796 --> 00:25:07,216
- Can't complain.
- Well, all right, then.

313
00:25:15,891 --> 00:25:19,520
Maybe after nightfall, Sheriff,
but he'll come.

314
00:25:20,312 --> 00:25:22,398
Oh, he'll come.

315
00:25:29,738 --> 00:25:33,117
<i>(Mulder) So, we staked out the cemetery.</i>

316
00:25:38,372 --> 00:25:40,666
Mulder? Shoelaces?

317
00:25:41,125 --> 00:25:43,419
- Hm?
- On the corpse.

318
00:25:43,919 --> 00:25:48,841
You were going to tell me what was so
meaningful about finding untied shoelaces.

319
00:25:48,924 --> 00:25:50,217
I'm gettin' to it.

320
00:25:53,595 --> 00:25:55,848
Sunflower seed? Sorry.

321
00:25:55,931 --> 00:25:58,016
No, thanks.

322
00:25:59,017 --> 00:26:03,188
Do you mind... do you mind me
asking you what you were...?

323
00:26:03,272 --> 00:26:06,608
Historically, certain seeds
are thought to fascinate vampires.

324
00:26:06,692 --> 00:26:09,945
Chiefly oats and millet,
but you make do with what you have.

325
00:26:10,028 --> 00:26:14,700
Remember when I said that we didn't know
what type of vampire we were looking for?

326
00:26:14,783 --> 00:26:17,745
Well, there seems to be
one obscure fact which,

327
00:26:17,828 --> 00:26:21,206
in all the stories told by
the different cultures, is the same,

328
00:26:21,290 --> 00:26:25,878
and that's that vampires are really,
really obsessive-compulsive.

329
00:26:25,961 --> 00:26:29,840
You toss a handful of seeds at one,
no matter what he's doin' he'll pick it up.

330
00:26:29,923 --> 00:26:32,384
If he sees a knotted rope, he's gotta untie it.

331
00:26:32,468 --> 00:26:36,472
In fact, that's why I'm guessing that
our victim's shoelaces were untied.

332
00:26:36,555 --> 00:26:39,057
Yeah. Obsessive...

333
00:26:40,142 --> 00:26:42,561
Like Rain Man.

334
00:26:44,146 --> 00:26:48,442
It's like when that old boy dropped
the matchsticks, he had to pick 'em all up.

335
00:26:48,525 --> 00:26:51,695
Well, he didn't actually
pick 'em up. He counted 'em.

336
00:26:51,779 --> 00:26:55,741
Oh, yeah, sorry. 247,
right off the top of his head.

337
00:26:55,824 --> 00:26:59,495
Well, if he picked 'em up,
then he would have been a vampire.

338
00:26:59,578 --> 00:27:02,748
I'll tell you what.
I know I'm in law enforcement,

339
00:27:02,831 --> 00:27:06,001
but I'd like to take him
to Vegas myself. Am I right?

340
00:27:06,084 --> 00:27:09,296
- Well, that would be illegal.
- He was like a calculator.

341
00:27:09,421 --> 00:27:12,216
<i>- Yeah.
- (radio) Sheriff, you got your radio on?</i>

342
00:27:12,299 --> 00:27:15,010
Excuse me. Hey, Charlene, what's up?

343
00:27:15,886 --> 00:27:19,556
<i>I got a call from the RV park.
They got something of a situation there.</i>

344
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,184
<i>Sounds like you might wanna have a look.</i>

345
00:27:59,555 --> 00:28:02,140
Hey again, Sheriff.

346
00:28:02,224 --> 00:28:04,476
Hey again, Ronnie.

347
00:28:05,310 --> 00:28:07,604
(Ronnie) I guess you got yourself a runaway.

348
00:28:07,688 --> 00:28:10,858
Well, yeah, Ronnie. I guess we do.

349
00:28:11,775 --> 00:28:14,945
What do you think?
We ought to shoot the tyres out?

350
00:28:22,828 --> 00:28:26,415
- Anyway, skipping ahead...
- Why skip ahead?

351
00:28:26,498 --> 00:28:28,584
What happened then?

352
00:28:30,127 --> 00:28:34,756
Mulder, you shot out the tyres,
and what then?

353
00:28:40,554 --> 00:28:42,556
<i>(Mulder) Here's something
you may not know.</i>

354
00:28:42,639 --> 00:28:44,892
<i>Shooting out the tyres on a runaway RV</i>

355
00:28:44,975 --> 00:28:48,145
<i>is a lot harder than it looks.</i>

356
00:28:48,228 --> 00:28:50,397
<i>I then tried a different approach.</i>

357
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,232
<i>(screams)</i>

358
00:28:52,649 --> 00:28:54,860
Hey! Hey! Hey!

359
00:28:54,943 --> 00:28:57,905
Argh! Oh! Help!

360
00:28:57,988 --> 00:29:01,575
- Ohhh!
- Come on, bird-dog it! Attaway!

361
00:29:02,701 --> 00:29:04,286
Ow!

362
00:29:12,502 --> 00:29:14,922
How you doin' there? All right?

363
00:29:28,977 --> 00:29:31,355
<i>(Mulder) Finally, we prevailed.</i>

364
00:29:43,992 --> 00:29:46,620
That's the same as the others.

365
00:29:47,287 --> 00:29:49,373
Right down to the shoes.

366
00:29:49,456 --> 00:29:52,250
<i>We interviewed everyone present.</i>

367
00:29:52,334 --> 00:29:55,003
<i>No one had seen anything.</i>

368
00:29:55,170 --> 00:30:00,342
<i>Tired, frustrated, and lacking a solid lead,
I just wanted to get cleaned up.</i>

369
00:30:00,425 --> 00:30:04,221
<i>I had the sheriff drop me at the motel,
which is where I ran into you.</i>

370
00:30:04,304 --> 00:30:06,765
Whaddaya mean, you want me
to do another autopsy?

371
00:30:06,848 --> 00:30:11,520
Why do we have to do it right now? I just
spent hours on my feet doing an autopsy!

372
00:30:11,603 --> 00:30:14,731
I do it all for you!
I haven't eaten since 6.00am,

373
00:30:14,815 --> 00:30:19,152
and that was half of a cream-cheese bagel -
and it wasn't even real cream cheese.

374
00:30:19,236 --> 00:30:22,698
And now you want me
to run off and do another autopsy?

375
00:30:23,031 --> 00:30:25,283
What the hell happened to you?

376
00:30:28,870 --> 00:30:32,708
<i>- (Mulder) Finally, you left.</i>
- <i>(Scully) Don't you touch that</i> bed.

377
00:30:32,791 --> 00:30:34,876
<i>(slams the door)</i>

378
00:30:52,185 --> 00:30:54,771
<i>(knock on door) Hello?</i>

379
00:30:56,106 --> 00:30:58,692
Hello? Uh, hey again.

380
00:30:59,526 --> 00:31:02,946
The lady outside, she said that,
um, you'd pay for this.

381
00:31:04,031 --> 00:31:06,450
She ordered a pizza from you?

382
00:31:07,826 --> 00:31:10,328
- Excellent. How much?
- $12.98.

383
00:31:10,412 --> 00:31:12,497
I'll get my wallet.

384
00:31:18,211 --> 00:31:20,672
- How much?
- It's $12.98.

385
00:31:23,884 --> 00:31:26,970
- Well, here's $13.
- OK, then.

386
00:31:27,054 --> 00:31:29,139
<i>EH30'! -</i>

387
00:31:35,562 --> 00:31:37,856
Ah, Scully.

388
00:31:40,525 --> 00:31:42,944
<i>So, I ate your dinner.</i>

389
00:31:59,211 --> 00:32:02,214
<i>And that's when I saw it.</i>

390
00:32:06,510 --> 00:32:08,595
<i>But by then it was too late.</i>

391
00:32:25,779 --> 00:32:28,782
<i>- (groan)
- Scully.</i>

392
00:32:28,865 --> 00:32:31,159
<i>- Uhh...
- Hello?</i>

393
00:32:34,246 --> 00:32:36,581
<i>Hello?</i>

394
00:32:42,546 --> 00:32:44,297
- Creep.
- Uhh...

395
00:33:02,899 --> 00:33:05,610
Aw, man!

396
00:33:05,986 --> 00:33:08,446
What'd you have to go and do that for?

397
00:33:13,660 --> 00:33:15,745
You are in big trouble.

398
00:33:19,916 --> 00:33:22,002
Agh...

399
00:33:26,590 --> 00:33:29,301
<i>Then I was out cold.</i>

400
00:33:29,551 --> 00:33:33,263
I don't know for how long,
but when I finally came to...

401
00:33:34,431 --> 00:33:35,473
<i>(Crash)</i>

402
00:33:35,557 --> 00:33:37,267
Mulder?

403
00:33:37,350 --> 00:33:39,227
<i>(gunshots)</i>

404
00:33:40,478 --> 00:33:42,314
Argh!

405
00:33:42,397 --> 00:33:46,193
You're saying that
I actually hit him two times?

406
00:33:46,776 --> 00:33:51,323
- Square in the chest. No effect.
- Then he flew at me like a flying squirrel?

407
00:33:52,699 --> 00:33:57,120
Well, I don't think I'll use the phrase
"flying squirrel" when I talk to Skinner, but,

408
00:33:57,204 --> 00:33:59,915
yeah, that's what happened.

409
00:34:02,459 --> 00:34:06,046
<i>You checked on me, then left
to pursue Strickland into the woods.</i>

410
00:34:06,129 --> 00:34:10,508
<i>Once I recovered, I knew what I had to do.</i>

411
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:12,928
Help me! Help!

412
00:34:14,221 --> 00:34:17,557
<i>I caught sight of him,
chased him over hill and dale.</i>

413
00:34:19,684 --> 00:34:21,770
<i>And in the end...</i>

414
00:34:24,189 --> 00:34:26,483
Mulder, it's not just me.

415
00:34:26,566 --> 00:34:30,779
Nobody in their right mind
will ever believe that story.

416
00:34:30,862 --> 00:34:35,492
They'll have to, once they examine
Ronnie Strickland's body.

417
00:34:53,468 --> 00:34:56,763
Case 0026198.

418
00:34:56,846 --> 00:34:58,932
Ronald LaVelle Strickland.

419
00:35:07,732 --> 00:35:12,195
Probable cause of death...
Gee, that's a tough one.

420
00:36:10,170 --> 00:36:12,088
Assistant Director Skinner's office.

421
00:36:12,172 --> 00:36:15,216
Oh, I'm sorry.
He's about to go into a meeting.

422
00:36:15,300 --> 00:36:17,802
Yes, it may last several hours.

423
00:36:18,803 --> 00:36:20,305
You're welcome.

424
00:36:20,388 --> 00:36:23,725
Mulder. Please just keep
reminding him you were drugged.

425
00:36:23,808 --> 00:36:25,977
- Would you stop that?
- Couldn't hurt.

426
00:36:26,061 --> 00:36:28,146
Just stop it.

427
00:36:31,566 --> 00:36:34,277
- Scully, Mulder.
- I was drugged.

428
00:36:38,907 --> 00:36:43,036
I want you back in Texas. Strickland's
body has disappeared from the morgue.

429
00:36:43,119 --> 00:36:48,249
Apparently, the coroner's been attacked.
His throat was bitten.

430
00:36:48,333 --> 00:36:52,629
- The coroner's dead?
- No, his throat was bitten.

431
00:36:53,338 --> 00:36:57,425
He was sort of... gnawed on.

432
00:37:00,929 --> 00:37:03,014
Daylight's burning, Agents.

433
00:37:06,059 --> 00:37:08,520
But... he was dead.

434
00:37:08,603 --> 00:37:10,897
I noticed that.

435
00:37:10,980 --> 00:37:14,109
- With a stake through his heart.
- I noticed that too.

436
00:37:14,984 --> 00:37:17,737
So we should find
Ronnie out here because...?

437
00:37:17,821 --> 00:37:22,117
Because tradition states that
a vampire needs to sleep in his native soil.

438
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:24,577
- Oh.
- Yeah.

439
00:37:24,661 --> 00:37:27,330
But, Mulder, he had fake fangs.

440
00:37:27,414 --> 00:37:31,418
Why would a real vampire need fake fangs?
I mean, for the sake of argument.

441
00:37:31,501 --> 00:37:34,170
Well, fangs are rarely mentioned
in the folklore.

442
00:37:34,254 --> 00:37:38,883
Real vampires aren't thought to have them.
It's more an invention of Bram Stoker's.

443
00:37:38,967 --> 00:37:40,718
I think you were right when you said

444
00:37:40,802 --> 00:37:43,513
this was a guy who's seen
too many Dracula movies.

445
00:37:43,596 --> 00:37:46,099
He just happens to be a real vampire.

446
00:37:51,354 --> 00:37:54,149
Well, so where the hell is he?

447
00:37:55,650 --> 00:37:58,736
What about his family,
who were gonna sue us for $446 million?

448
00:37:58,820 --> 00:38:00,447
Well, an aunt and an uncle.

449
00:38:00,530 --> 00:38:03,950
Their mail comes general delivery
to a local post office.

450
00:38:04,033 --> 00:38:06,494
No home address?

451
00:38:09,539 --> 00:38:11,958
It's the sheriff.

452
00:38:16,504 --> 00:38:18,840
Sheriff Hartwell.

453
00:38:18,923 --> 00:38:22,260
Evenin', Agents. I heard
y'all were back in town.

454
00:38:22,343 --> 00:38:26,681
- Thought I might be of some assistance.
- Yeah, actually, you can.

455
00:38:26,764 --> 00:38:28,516
You can stay here with Agent Scully

456
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:32,687
and keep an eye on things
while I check somethin' out.

457
00:38:32,770 --> 00:38:35,273
Don't say I never did nothin' for ya.

458
00:38:35,356 --> 00:38:37,484
Where are you going?

459
00:38:37,567 --> 00:38:41,446
Where might you be living if your mail
came general delivery around here?

460
00:38:41,529 --> 00:38:43,615
The RV park?

461
00:38:44,782 --> 00:38:46,868
You're good.

462
00:38:56,878 --> 00:38:59,422
- Thanks.
- You're very welcome.

463
00:39:02,091 --> 00:39:04,511
So, what do you think about vampires?

464
00:39:06,387 --> 00:39:09,557
You mean, aside from the fact
that I don't believe in them?

465
00:39:09,641 --> 00:39:11,726
Yeah, aside from that.

466
00:39:12,977 --> 00:39:17,065
Well, they're supposed to be
extremely charming.

467
00:39:17,148 --> 00:39:19,234
Seductive.

468
00:39:20,735 --> 00:39:26,115
No, I mean, even if they did really exist,
who's to say they'd actually be like that?

469
00:39:27,367 --> 00:39:30,995
As Agent Mulder says, "There are
many different kinds of vampires."

470
00:39:31,079 --> 00:39:33,957
Yeah. There sure are.

471
00:39:39,295 --> 00:39:44,592
I really need to apologise to you
about Ronnie. He makes us all look bad.

472
00:39:49,305 --> 00:39:55,353
He's just not who we are any more. I mean,
we pay taxes, we're good neighbours.

473
00:39:55,937 --> 00:40:00,650
Old Ronnie, hejust... he can't
quite seem to grasp the concept of...

474
00:40:02,860 --> 00:40:05,530
low profile.

475
00:40:17,834 --> 00:40:22,964
But though he may be a moron,
he is one of our own.

476
00:40:48,156 --> 00:40:50,241
<i>(something snaps)</i>

477
00:41:26,027 --> 00:41:28,404
Hello.

00:41:40,375 --> 00:41:42,460
<i>(music from stereo)</i>

479
00:41:43,586 --> 00:41:45,505
Sleeping late.

480
00:41:50,301 --> 00:41:52,387
Ronnie Strickland.

481
00:41:54,305 --> 00:41:57,517
You have the right to remain silent.

482
00:41:58,017 --> 00:42:02,563
Anything you say can and will be
used against you in a court of law.

483
00:42:03,231 --> 00:42:06,275
Come on, cut it out, Ronnie.

484
00:42:09,445 --> 00:42:11,781
Oh, damn.

485
00:42:32,385 --> 00:42:34,262
Back.

486
00:42:49,819 --> 00:42:55,074
Argh! No! Aaaaarggh!

487
00:43:07,670 --> 00:43:09,338
Mulder.

488
00:43:13,593 --> 00:43:16,345
Scully, what happened?

489
00:43:17,346 --> 00:43:19,474
I came to in the cemetery.

490
00:43:21,768 --> 00:43:23,853
That's all I know.

491
00:43:25,396 --> 00:43:27,899
<i>(sounds horn accidentally)</i>

492
00:43:49,462 --> 00:43:52,381
They pulled up stakes.

493
00:44:03,976 --> 00:44:06,145
So that's it?

494
00:44:06,229 --> 00:44:09,273
They simply disappeared without a trace?

495
00:44:10,775 --> 00:44:14,654
And that's exactly the way
it happened from start to finish?

496
00:44:17,323 --> 00:44:20,409
I can neither confirm nor deny
the version of events

497
00:44:20,493 --> 00:44:22,203
which occurred outside my presence.

498
00:44:22,286 --> 00:44:26,582
And I can neither confirm nor deny
Agent Scully's version of events, but...

499
00:44:26,666 --> 00:44:29,210
Anyway, I was drugged.

500
00:44:32,421 --> 00:44:34,507
That is,

501
00:44:35,424 --> 00:44:38,719
essentially, exactly the way it happened.

502
00:44:39,345 --> 00:44:41,430
Essentially.
