[Mulder's Voice]
They said the birds refused to sing...

and the thermometer
fell suddenly,

as if God himself
had his breath stolen away.

No one there dared
speak aloud,

as much in shame
as in sorrow.

They uncovered the bodies
one by one.

The eyes of the dead
were closed,

as if waiting for permission
to open them.

Were they still dreaming
of ice cream and monkey bars,

of birthday cake and
no future but the afternoon?

Or had their innocence been
taken along with their lives,

buried in the cold earth
so long ago?

These fates seemed too cruel,
even for God to allow.

Or are the tragic young born again
when the world's not looking?

I wanna believe so badly
in a truth beyond our own,

hidden and obscured from all
but the most sensitive eyes.

In the endless procession
of souls,

in what cannot and
will not be destroyed,

I want to believe we are unaware of
God's eternal recompense and sadness...

that we cannot see his truth.

That that which is born still lives
and cannot be buried in the cold earth,

but only waits to be born again
at God's behest...

where in ancient starlight
we lay...

in repose.

[Door Opens]

Ed Truelove was 19 when
he committed his first murder.

He was working as a janitor
at an elementary school...

and they needed someone
to play Santa Claus.

He never got over
the feelings it aroused.

He's admitted to
all of it, Mulder...

24 separate murders.

But he refuses to take blame
for Amber Lynn LaPierre.

I was just handed the
preliminary forensics report.

Her body was not one of
those found in the graves.

Mulder, I know you wanted
to find her out there.

He's got hours of video
of her.

I'm talking about your sister.

- I know that's who you're looking for.
- Yeah.

You don't know how badly I wanted her
to be in one of those graves.

Hard as it is to admit, I wanted
to find her here riding her bike
like all these other kids.

I guess I just want it
to be over.

- [Door Opens]
- [Man] Agent Mulder, Scully.

There's a Mr. Harold Piller
here to see you.

- Mr. Piller?
- Agent Mulder.

- Agent Scully.
- Do we know each other?

Not personally, no. But I'm happy
to meet you. Hi. Harold Piller.

Mr. Piller, are you part
of this investigation?

Yes, I hope to be.

- How can we help you?
- I was hoping to help you.

You're a police psychic.

My references are on the back.

I've gotten some strong
hits off this case.

You're looking for
a little girl,

but she's not among
the dead.

Your suspect is going
to say he didn't kill her.

Did he?

No. I think I can help find her.

Mr. Piller, you have
some interesting references here.

You've worked with law enforcements
in Kashmir, India, Myanmar,

Afghanistan, Pakistan,
Khyber Pass.

That was a train wreck...
a horrible tragedy.

They called me in to locate the bodies
of seven children who were unrecovered.

- And did you recover them?
- I didn't recover them, no.

- But I explained what happened.
- What happened?

The children's bodies were transported
from the accident site...

by a spiritual intervention,
what are known as walk-ins.

Thank you, Mr. Piller,
but we have real work to be done.

I've studied this phenomenon
the world over...

at mud slides in Peru,
earthquakes in Uzbekistan.

Kids' bodies never found,
never accounted for in any other way.

What happened to them?

The bodies were transported
from the various sites...

in starlight.

Please excuse us. Mulder?

- Mulder, please.
- What is it?

Mulder, you have been through
so much in such a short time...

the death of your mother
and the feelings it's
brought up for your sister.

You're vulnerable right now.

We still have a missing body...
Amber Lynn LaPierre.
She may be alive. We don't know.

But this man isn't gonna
help us find her, by his own admission.

It's not the first time
I've heard what he's saying...

about the intervention
of these walking spirits.

Kathy Lee Tencate mentioned
it to me in the prison.

- She said that's who took her son.
- Because it's foolproof, Mulder.

Nobody is gonna disprove it
if there's no body.

And that's exactly
what this man does.

He gives a comforting
explanation at a train wreck...

or an earthquake
that everyone can live with.

But the fact is
the bodies are still buried.

Or maybe they are
somewhere else.

Like your sister?

Mulder,

you told me that all you wanted
was for this to be over.

I do.

I do.

Well, then I'm going
back to Washington.

There's nothing more
to be done here.

How long have you
been doing this?

A few years.

I have a son who disappeared
under strange circumstances.

He's never been found.

And then one day, I just...
started to see them.

These walk-ins,
you say they...

they come and take
the children.

- Why?
- In almost every case,

the parents had
a precognitive image...

of their child dead.

Horrible visions.

I believe what this is
is the work of good spirits...

foretelling their fates.

A fate the child
was about to meet,

a particularly violent fate
that wasn't meant to be.

Which is why
the spirits intervened,

transforming matter
into pure energy.

Starlight.

But it's not
what happened here.

How do you know that?

Because these children
all died suffering,

pleading innocently
for their lives.

These beautiful children,
so... trusting and pure.

I see them.

My God, why?

Why must some suffer
and not others?

You see them?
Do you see Amber Lynn LaPierre?

She wasn't here.
She never was.

But I'm... I'm sensing
a connection with her...

to this place.

No, it's a connection to...

- It's a connection to you.
- How's that?

You lost someone
close to you.

Ayoung girl.

It happened a...
a long time ago.

Your sister.

There's a connection
between these girls, isn't there?

Between her and Amber Lynn?

What is the connection?

I don't know.

But we're going to find them.
I'm sure of it.

[Man]
I'm going to count backwards now, Fox.

And you'll fall into
a deep relaxed state...

so that you'll remember all about
your sister and what happened.

One hundred, ninety-nine,

ninety-eight,

ninety-seven,

ninety-six...

Where are you now, Fox?

I'm at home...
my mom and dad's.

We're in the den
playing a game.

Who are you there with?

Samantha.

- Do you feel in any danger?
- No.

We're arguing, you know, but not really.
Just playing the game.
You know, fooling around.

By what I can tell from
the tape, he seems to be
in a legitimate hypnotic state.

Pieces on the board
are fallin' off...

[Man]
Here I became suspicious.

- [Mulder] Samantha?
- Suspicious of what?

In 30 years with the F.B.I.,
you think you've seen it all.

I sometimes think I have.

But this is just a garden variety
compensatory abduction fantasy.

Compensatory for what?

His guilt. His fear.

Everything that's preventing
Agent Mulder...

from remembering the truth about
what really happened that night.

You mean his sister
wasn't abducted?

No, his sister definitely went missing
in 1973. That's not in dispute.

Agent Mulder, however,
wasn't regressed until 1989.

See, his delusion is playing
into his unconscious hope...

that his sister
is still alive.

And if you think about it,
his delusion has the effect...

of giving him reason
to pursue her.

But why alien abduction?

Close Encounters, E. T.,
who knows?

But there was probably a lot of imagery
collecting in his head...

in those 16 years.

And then he comes down here,
and he finds the X-Files.

So what do you think
happened to his sister?

Well, in 1973...

we were pretty damned unsophisticated
about violent predatory crime.

My guess is she was
kidnapped in the house,

her body was disposed of,
never found.

You think that
his sister's dead?

Have you seen this file?

There was an extraordinary amount
of effort put into finding his sister.

Even the treasury department
got involved.

His father worked at a high level
in the government.

They found nothing.

Why, Agent Scully? Why do you
wanna bring all this back up now?

Someone owes it to Mulder.

Word of advice,
me to you.

Let it be.

You know, there are some wounds that are
just too painful ever to be reopened.

Well, this particular wound
has never healed.

And Mulder deserves closure,
just like anyone.

[Charlton Heston On TV]
Apes evolved from men?

- There's gotta be an answer.
- Don't look for it, Taylor.

You may not like
what you find.

[Knocking]

Untie me!

[Knocking Continues]

- What? What are you doing?
- I'm picking up something.

- It's 3:00 in the morning.
- There's someone here.

- Yeah, the TV is on...
- No. A visitor.

They... They wanna speak.
They wanna tell us something.

What?

Get a piece of paper.

- [Shuts TVOff]
- And a pen.

No, you.

Shoot.

It's your mother.

She's here in the room
with us.

She's trying to speak to you.

What does she say?

She wants to tell you
about your sister...

- where she is.
- [No Audible Dialogue]

What is she saying?

Harold?

I don't know. L...

- [Sighs] She's gone.
- Come on, Harold.

I lost her.

- That's crap. You're full of crap.
- No.

- Get out of here.
- I'm telling you...

- I'm telling you, I never
should have listened to you.
- She was here!

- She had a message.
- Please go.

Look!

Who wrote that?

You did.

[Cell Phone Ringing]

- Mulder.
- [Scully] Mulder, it's me.

I found something, and I'm standing here
not quite believing what it is.

- What is it?
- I don't know if you know this,

but there was a special treasury
department investigation
into Samantha's disappearance.

In 1973.
I know all about that.

Well, I'm in your mother's house
and I found a piece of a document
that she burned.

A document that matches one that I found
in the treasury investigation file.

But she had the original,
Mulder.

I don't see where
you're goin' with this, Scully.

This is the document that
effectively calls off the search
for your sister, Mulder.

And it's signed with
the initials "C.G.B.S."

C.G.B. Spender...

the Smoking Man.

He was involved with this
back in '73.

That's not exactly a revelation,
Scully. He was a friend of my father's.

Mulder, you told me you believed that
he's the man that killed your father,

that he's the man who's
done nothing but confound your work,

who's come close
to killing you.

And here he's ordering people
to stop looking for your sister.

I don't see what you think
this proves, or how you think
it's gonna help me find her now.

- You don't wanna press him?
- It's a dead end.

He's never been of any help,
and he's not gonna be of any help now.

Look, I'm pursuing this my own way,
all right. I gotta go.

It's not exactly the end
of the rainbow, is it, Harold?

There's something here.
I'm getting a strong sense of it.

I think we should
have a look.

I've had a look.

What are you afraid of?
That you'll really find her?

- That you'd have to deal with it?
- There's nothing here.

- It's a decommissioned base.
- You wrote the name down yourself.

Why do you care so much about what I
feel? Why is this so important to you?

[Car Approaching]

You gentlemen need
to move along.

I have to ask you to turn around
and get back in your car.

There's nothing to see here.

There is something here to see,
Agent Mulder. I'm sure of it.

[Ringing]

- Hello?
- [Dial Tone Humming]

- [Groans]
- [Cigarette-Smoking Man]
I should have grabbed it for you.

I like to make myself useful.

You can start by putting
out that cigarette.

You've got it all figured out,
don't you, Agent Scully?

All but why you can't
just come to the door and knock.

I did that.

No one answered.

You're sick.

I had an operation.

What do you want?

I want you to stop looking.

You've wanted that
since 1973...

when you ordered an end to the search
for Agent Mulder's sister.

Your initials
are on that document.

Yes, I signed that order,

because I knew then what I know now...
no one's gonna find her.

- Why not?
- Because I believe she's dead.

No reason to believe otherwise.

You're a liar.

If you knew that she was dead,
why didn't you say something
earlier? Why now?

There was so much to protect before.
It's all gone now.

So you just let Mulder believe
that she was alive for all these years?

Out of kindness,
Agent Scully.

Allow him his ignorance.

It's what gives him hope.

- My sister was here?
- Yes.

One of these houses?
Where?

I've lost it,
whatever it was.

Which house, Harold?
Come on. Which house?

- I don't know.
- Harold, we don't have all night.
Which house was it?

Let's go, Harold.

You were right.
This was the house.

- How do you know?
- Look.

I told you!
What did I tell you?

You told me
she was here.

You didn't say with who.

When did you come up
with this story, Mulder?

Because yesterday when
I spoke to you, you said
that the Smoking Man wasn't involved.

Turns out you were right.
He had every reason
to call off the hunt for my sister.

After her abduction,
she was returned to him...

and he raised her at the military base,
along with his son Jeffrey Spender.

- Mulder...
- Scully, I saw her name in the cement.

Her handprints
right next to his.

Mulder, I spoke to him...

the Smoking Man, C.G.B. Spender,
whatever his name is.

You went to him?

He told me
that she was dead.

Well, he's a liar.

Mulder, why would he lie now?
I mean, think about it.

It hurts me
to tell you this.

The handprints prove he's a liar!
I saw her handprints in the cement.

Her name "Samantha" right underneath
them. How more obvious can it be?

Harold Piller led me there.
He led me right to 'em.

Oh, he led you, Mulder.

He led you from the moment
that he met you.

- [Footsteps Approaching]
- Something wrong?

Sit down, Harold.

Hi.

You're back.

Scully has informed me that
you failed to mention something
to me when we first met.

- What?
- That you're currently the subject...

of a criminal investigation
into the murder of your son.

My son was taken from me.
The police need someone to blame.

That's not all, Harold.
Your history of mental illness.

- You were institutionalized,
diagnosed with schizophrenia.
- I've got that under control.

You wouldn't have believed me
if I had told you any of that.

- Look what I've shown you.
- You only tell me what you see.

I came to you
because I wanna help.

You think I'm a fraud?
What do I have to gain from this?

How am I any different
from you?

All I want is to find my son.
L... I just...

I just want my little boy back.

I see these things. I don't know how,
but... there has got to be a reason.

And if it's not to help,
what is it?

I know your sister
is out there.

Maybe I can prove it to you.

Whoever's lived here
hasn't lived here in a long time.

- We're gonna need to hold hands.
- What do you mean?

I'm going to try and summon
their presence into the house.

Oh, yea. A seance. I haven't
done that since high school.

Maybe afterwards we can play
"postman" and "spin the bottle."

[Sighs]
I'm not going to say anything.

I'm just going to be very quiet and
still. That's how it seems to work best.

Um, you might experience
a sudden chill...

or feel a pressure
in your ears.

That means they're here.

And if they need to,
they'll let themselves be seen.

Close your eyes...

and let them
come to you.

They will come to you
if you're ready to see.

- How will we know?
- Shh.

Stay quiet.
You'll know.

Mulder?

- What are you doing?
- It's here.

What is?

There was a boy.
He led me into this room.

Mulder?

It's a diary.

It's your sister's.

[Mulder] "They did more tests today,
but not the horrible kind.

"I was awake and they
made me lay still...

"while they shine lights
in my eyes.

"They asked me questions,
but I always lie now...

"and tell them what they wanna hear
just to make 'em stop.

"I hate them and I hate
the way they treat me,

"like I'm an old suitcase
they can just drag around
and open up whenever they want to.

They know I hate them,
but they... don't even care."

This is 1979.

She's 14 years old here.

Fourteen years old.

[Turning Pages]

"Sometimes I think my memories
were taken by the doctors,
but not all of them.

"I remember faces.
I think I had a brother...

"with brown hair
who used to tease me.

"I hope...

someday he reads this and knows
I wish I could see his face for real."

And then, uh,

she's, uh, talking
about running away.

She wants to run away...

so that they stop
doing the tests.

And then it just stops.

[Closes Diary]

Let's get out of here.

You know, I never stop
to think...

that the light is billions
of years old by the time we see it.

From the beginning
of time...

right past us
into the future.

Nothing is ancient
in the universe.

Maybe they are souls,
Scully...

travel through time
and starlight...

Iooking for homes.

I wonder what
my mother saw.

I wonder what she
was trying to tell me.

Get some sleep.

All right.

[No Audible Dialogue]

I got it, Mulder.
I couldn't believe it when I saw it.

It was like it was
looking for me.

- Sergeant's blotter, 1979.
- What are you talking about?

[Scully]
The description matches your sister.

- When did you find this?
- Mulder, it's almost noon.

[Scully]
Maybe she went by another name.

She could have given them
a name other than her own.

She didn't give a name
at all.

Read this.
It's a medical report.

Admittance notes say the E.R. Nurses
couldn't get her name out of her.

Neither could the cops.

Her medical examination
is normal.

Her mental state...

it says here she was exhibiting
signs of paranoia.

Evidence of probable
self-inflicted abuse,

including small crescent-shaped scars
on her knees, wrists and chest.

Those are from
the tests, Scully.

That's her.
She was here.

Fourteen years old
in this hospital.

"Diagnosis of condition incomplete.
Tests unavailable."

And he knew.

He lied.
He knew she was alive.

And the only reason he's lying now
is because she's still alive.

Mulder, wait.

I know. You don't want me to get
my hopes up. I understand that.

That was 1979.
It was 21 years ago.

I don't know where to begin,
and we don't have a record here
of a doctor signing her out.

We have an E.R. Nurse
who signed her in.

What's wrong?

I have this powerful feeling,
and I can't explain it,

but that... this is
the end of the road.

That I've been brought here
to learn the truth.

Are you ready for it?

Do you want me
to go talk to her myself?

Okay.

Oh. I thought that was the door.

- Arbutus Ray?
- Yes.

Are you the same Arbutus Ray
that worked as a nurse...

at the Dominic Savio
Memorial Hospital in 1979?

Yes, I'm she.

I'd like to ask you about
a patient you treated...

a 14-year-old girl.

[Arbutus]
I remember. Yes.

She was such
a pretty young girl.

You couldn't forget someone like her,
or how frightened she was.

Scared for her sweet life.

The deputy brought her in.
She was shaking like a leaf.

Wouldn't let anyone
touch her but me.

Then the strangest thing happened.

You had a vision
of her... dead.

Like the parents
of Amber Lynn LaPierre.

No one believed me.

Honestly, you're
the first person who...

- So you saw her dead?
- That night in her bed.

I blinked and it was gone.

She was sleeping
as sound as could be.

I don't know why, but...

it made some kind
of strange sense.

What do you mean?

There were men.

They came to pick her up
late that night.

I assumed the one
was her father, but he...

he gave me such a chill
when he looked at me...

when I asked him would he please
put out his cigarette.

So, they took her?

They meant to.

But when I took them
to her room,

she was gone.

Disappeared out of a locked room.

Just vanished.

Samantha.

Mulder, where'd you go?

End of the road.

He's okay.
It's okay.

My son?
You saw my son?

He's dead.
They're all dead, Harold...

your son, Amber Lynn,
my sister.

- No.
- Harold.

You see so much,
but you refuse to see him.

You refuse to let him go.

But you have to let him
go now, Harold.

He's protected. He's in a better place.
They're all in a better place.

We both have to let go, Harold.

You're wrong.
I'm going to find him.

[Panting]
I don't believe you!

Mulder, what happened?

Are you sure
you're all right?

I'm fine.

I'm free.

[Child]
I made this!
