- Dr. Roosevelt.
- What is it ?

We found something
I think you should see.

- It's an Amaru.
- I know.

It's fantastic.
It's nearly intact.

- We can't take it.
- What do you mean ?

They're saying the body of
a female shaman is sacred to the tribe.

They won�t allow us
to disturb her.

We are not disturbing her.
We're saving her.

You know the situation here.
I thought you could handle these people.

Dr. Roosevelt,
I think this is dangerous.

I don't think this is right !

Have the piece cleared and packed.
It's going with us.

Mr. Horning, are you still here ?

Mr. Horning ?

What the hell ?

How did you learn about
what happened here last night ?

Tim Decker, one of our security guards,
called me when he first discovered
the blood.

According to the police,
you felt his murder may have been
an act of political terrorism.

I think Craig Horning was killed because
of the project he was working on.

Is that the, uh,
"the survey and excavation...

of the highland burial grounds
of the Secona Indians" ?

This is from a letter that
was sent to the state department
on behalf of the Secona,

demanding the return
of a certain artifact.

The Amaru Urn. It was among
the antiquities we rescued last month.

- Rescued ?
- When Petro Ecuador announced
plans to build a gas pipeline...

through the burial grounds,
Carl Roosevelt and I organized the dig.

As I understand it, Roosevelt
disappeared under circumstances
not dissimilar to ones here.

The Ecuadorian government claimed he was
carried off in some wild animal attack.

But that's not what you believe.

- Not after last night.
- Have there ever been
any death threats ?

- No.
- Well, what about the curse ?

Secona believed that great evil
will befall anyone that disturbs
the remains of an Amaru.

A woman shaman. That they would
be devoured by the jaguar spirit.

A myth that gained some currency
among the Secona
when Dr. Roosevelt disappeared.

- I'm sure.
- The unfortunate thing is...

somebody exploiting it
to promote fear.

To pressure us into returning the bones.
Which I have no intention of doing.

- Can we see it ?
- Yes, of course. Mona.

Personally, if someone digs me
up in a thousand years, I hope
there's a curse on them too.

They should have left it buried.
None of this would have happened.

- Do you believe the bones are cursed ?
- Might as well be.

Did you know Craig Horning ?

Yeah. I've been helping Craig sort
and catalog the Ecuadorian artifacts.

I'm a Ph.D. candidate at B.U.

-Did he have any warning
that this could happen ?
- Craig ?

No. He was so dedicated.

He was just doing the work
that Dr. Lewton asked him to.

He had no political feelings
about the piece being brought here ?

- No, not Craig.
- Are you aware that
a letter of protest...

was sent to the state department
concerning this urn ?

I'm aware of several letters
of protest.

- This one was written
by a man named Alonso Bilac.
- Dr. Bilac.

He was the liaison
with the Secona Indians.

- Is he still with the project ?
- No, he either resigned...

or was forced out by Dr. Lewton,
depending on who you talk to.

Why is that ?

Dr. Bilac feels the Secona have
the right to determine the fate
of their ancestral remains.

Do you know
where we might find him ?

[Knocking]

- Dr. Bilac ?
- Yes.

We're with the F.B.I.

We're investigating the disappearance of
an associate of yours-- Craig Horning.

- Yes.
- May we ask you some questions ?

Come in then.

Dr. Bilac, you were part
of the expedition that brought
back the Amaru Urn.

- Who told you that ?
- Mona Wustner.

I objected from the beginning.

But you were Dr. Roosevelt's
liaison in Ecuador.

At what point did you part company
with him on the taking of artifacts ?

When I felt like he had gone too far
against the wishes of the Secona.

Did you express that to him ?

Yes. He wouldn't listen.

Were you speaking for yourself
or for the Indians ?

I spent the last six months...

living with the Secona,
learning from them.

Coming to understand the nature...

and the depth of their culture.

Well, apparently they've learned
something from you too.

Yes, I�ve been teaching them
the joys of American bureaucracy.

Dr. Lewton believes that
the protests over the Amaru Urn...

has something to do with
Craig Horning's disappearance.

You say "disappearance"
as if you expect to see him alive again.

What do you think
happened to him ?

You don't want to know
what I think.

Yes, we would like to know.

We'd be very interested
in what you think.

I think whatever happened to
Craig Horning will continue to happen,

until the bones are returned
to their rightful place.

Let me ask you, Dr. Bilac.

How far would you go to defend
the rights of the Seconas ?

Farther than writing a letter
to the state department ?

If you think I did this,
then you're a fool.

- Can you account for
your whereabouts last night ?
- I was here.

- Alone ?
- Yes.

Your investigation
is a waste of time.

That's something
I can assure you of.

It's nice to meet people who
really believe in something, isn't it ?

You mean the kind who would
kill for their cause ?

- You think Bilac's a suspect ?
- No. I think he's the suspect.

- Based on what ?
- Based on the arrogance
of his politics,

on his rift with Dr. Lewton,
on his sympathies towards the Indians...

and the lack of
any other suspects.

- He did look a little squirrelly.
- Maybe because he was up late
murdering Craig Horning.

Let me remind you we don't
have a body and not much more
forensic detail than blood.

Craig Horning's blood.
What do you think he did with him ?

- I'm not sure he did anything.
- So you think Bilac's innocent ?

That the victim wasn't murdered
at all, that he was devoured by
a mythological jaguar spirit ?

Go with it, Scully.

Why did you lie to them ?

You're only drawing suspicion
to yourself by lying, Lonnie.

You should have
told them the truth.

I'm worried about you.

Let me come over.

Why ? Why not ?

Dr. Lewton's here.
I gotta go. I'll call you later.

I thought you had already left.

I've, uh-- I really need
to keep working right now.

I'd feel better
if you weren't alone here.

Well, the guard knows I'm here.

Was that Dr. Bilac on the phone ?

Yes.

We have a responsibility,
Mona, to history and posterity.

Dr. Roosevelt was only doing what any
good conservationist would have done...

in bringing the Amaru Urn back.

Otherwise, it would certainly
have been destroyed.

I know.

Now, when you get caught up
in the politics, we lose sight of that.

Mona, let me give you
a little free advice.

You have a bright future here.

Be careful where
you plant your fag.

[Door Closes]

- [ Door Squeaking ]
- [ Gasps ]

Oh, Sugar.

- [Engine Not Turning Over]
- [Thud]

[ Screaming ]

[Screaming Continues]

- Label that.
- As what ?

Partial rat body part.

-That's it for now.
-Excuse me. Can I have a word with you ?

We're done.

You were working here last night
when Dr. Lewton was killed.

He stopped by my office
on his way out.

Did you notice anything
out of the ordinary ?

Was he behaving strange
or did he seem nervous about anything ?

No, not at all.

Did he say anything
to you about Dr. Bilac ?

No, he didn't.

Do you have any idea when the two
of them last spoke to each other ?

I really don't know.

I'm gonna give you my card.

Call me if anything
comes to mind.

[Scully]
Mulder?

- They turn up a body ?
- No. They've been over
the entire museum grounds.

Have you found anything
at all out here ?

If Dr. Lewton was brought through here,
it's going to be hard to determine.

Looks like it rained
pretty hard last night.

Well, they determined
that the hood release had been pulled.

And they found
a small flashlight near the car.

It looks to me like he was checking
the engine when he was attacked.

- Maybe somebody
didn't want that car started.
- I don't think so, Mulder.

- Why not ?
- We found evidence of two mutilated
rat bodies in the engine compartment.

- Rats ?
- Apparently, the museum's
always had a rat problem.

They must've crawled
into the engine to keep warm.

You know, Mulder, there's hardly a thing
about these deaths that adds up.

What's the estimate
on the time of death ?

Somewhere between 9:30 and midnight
when the guard discovered the blood.

It's about the same time
as Craig Horning.

- What's the connection ?
- I don't know.

- I think Mona Wustner
might know something.
- Why ?

Well, she seemed to get nervous
when I asked her about Bilac.

Maybe she's trying to protect him.

I think it's starting
to rain again.

I don't think so, Mulder.

What the hell is that ?

Lonnie ?

Lonnie ?

Don't!

Lonnie ?

I came to tell you.

Dr. Lewton is dead.

Did you hear what I said ?

Say something, Lonnie, please.
You're scaring me.

- I told you not to come here !
- Why not ?

What's happened to you ?

Ever since you came back
you're acting like some stranger.

Like someone else.

The blood has to stop.

You know something, don�t you ?

You wouldn't understand.

Then help me to understand !

You-- You can tell me.

You know that, don�t you ?

What is that ?

Vine of the soul.

Yaje ? You're drinking yaje ?

You're sick, Lonnie.

You need help.

Don�t you see
what's happening here ?

- Can�t you see what
you're doing to yourself?
- Go.

- Let me help you !
- I said get out !

Well, it's human.
Small intestine.

There's about four feet of jejunum
and another foot of ileum.

- Do we know for sure it's Lewton ?
- Yeah, by what he had for lunch.

Corn Chowder. And it looks
like he'd been snacking on
sunflower seeds all afternoon.

- A man of taste.
- What I can't determine is
how the body was eviscerated.

There are no knife marks
on the epithelium.

I imagine that they could have been torn
or pulled from the body cavity.

- "Torn or pulled" ?
- But I can't determine that either...

because there was considerable
postmortem predation.

- By what ?
- By the size of the bite marks,
a small animal.

Most probably a rat.

- More rats.
- Yep.

[Phone Ringing]

Scully.

Slow down, Mona.

I was with Dr. Bilac.

He frightened me. I--
I thought he was gonna hurt me.

- What happened, Mona ?
- He's sick. He doesn't
know what he's doing.

- Where is he now ?
- At his house.

I left him there and I came back
to the museum, but...

I feel like someone's here,
like someone's watching me.

I want you to stay
exactly where you are.

I'm gonna send Agent Mulder over to get
you right away, okay ? He's on his way.

Okay.

[Growling]

What is it, Sugar ?

[Rumbling]

[ Growling ]

[Rumbling Continues]

[ Screaming ]

Dr. Bilac ?

- [ Gasps ]
- What are you doing here ?

Looking for Mona Wustner.
I got a panicked call from her.

- From Mona ?
- Yeah. Where is she ?

I'll show you.

[Ringing]

- Mulder.
- Mulder, it's me. Did you find Mona ?

No. But her car
is parked outside.

- She's not here. Did you find Bilac ?
- No, he's not here either.

But I found some of his journals.
Listen to this.

"I've seen the Amaru
coming out of the jungle...

with the eyes of a scorpion,
the claws of a jaguar.

She leaps down from the trees.

She tears at my flesh, then holds my
head in her hands and eats out my eyes."

- Is there a date of entry on that ?
- These are all recent.

Read me that part about the jaguar
coming down from the trees again.

- Why ?
- Maybe that's how
the intestines got up there.

Mulder, I think
Bilac's been tripping.

I found something strange
in a ceremonial bowl.

And from his writings, it says
it's a hallucinogen called "yaje--

the vine of the soul. "

What the hell's
that supposed to mean ?

I think he's been praying to the Amaru
through some kind of a ceremony.

- What does he want from her ?
- It looks like he's invoking
the curse, Mulder.

Scully, I'm gonna
have to call you back.

- Did you find Mona ?
- I hope not.

[Rumbling]

What are you doing here ?

I said, what are you doing here ?

She's dead.

Where is she ?

I don't know.

You told Agent Mulder
that she was dead.

You must know where she is.

I didn't kill her.

- Then why do you have
blood on your clothes ?
- I told you.

I came here because
the Amaru would not be appeased.

I was afraid for Mona.

I tried to keep her away
from all this.

She was an innocent.

She said she was scared.

She said that
you became violent.

She wouldn't listen.

Maybe you were too high
to know the difference.

There is no curse, is there, Dr. Bilac ?
You are the curse.

No.

This is more powerful than any man.

This is a spirit you're dealing with.
Thespirit of the Amaru.

This is not something
you can put in handcuffs.

[Door Opening]

I'm gonna ask you
one more time, Dr. Bilac.

Where is Mona's body ?

I don't know.

This man stays in that room
until there's a full search
of the museum, okay ?

Yes, ma'am.

Hey, Scully.

Come here for a second.

It just dawned on me. Why do you think
there's so much water in here ?

I just assumed that one
of the toilets had overflowed.

There's water on every seat.

It's more like every toilet overflowed.
Now why would that happen ?

I guess there's only
one way to find out.

I hate this.

Rats.

In every toilet.

- How did they get in there ?
- [Decker] Agent Mulder.

- The police found something outside.
- Mona Wustner ?

No, Sugar, her dog. He's dead.

Finally, a body.

What did you find ?

Have to run a full toxicological
to be sure, but it looks like
war far in poisoning.

- War far in ?
- Rat poison.

Someone fed this dog rat poison ?

No. When I dissected
the dog's stomach...

I found an undigested fragment
of intestine which appears to be feline.

- The dog ate a cat.
- I also found what appears
to be bits of rat fur.

But I think the rat
ate the poison.

- The cat ate a rat.
- And the dog ate the cat.

- More rats, Scully.
- Yeah ?

- Don�t you think that's significant ?
- Significant of what ?

There were rats in
Dr. Lewton's car engine.

There were rats in the bathroom
where Mona Wustner may have
been killed, and now here.

It's an old building, Mulder.
They have a rat problem.
A lot of old buildings have rats.

No, I think it's more than that.
What is it that the Secona believe ?

The jaguar spirit will devour
anybody that desecrates
the burial place of a holy woman ?

Essentially, they're talking
about transmigration of the soul
into animal form.

- Achieved through a ceremony
where they drink the--
- Yaje.

- To summon the spirits.
- So, what are we
talking here, Mulder ?

A possessed rat--
the return of Ben ?

No, I think those rats were killed
trying to escape from something.

- Something that sent them
diving into the toilet ?
- No, the lids were down.

They were trying to get out.
They were coming from
within the sewer lines.

- Trying to get away from something.
- Have you been drinking yaje ?

Go with it, Scully.

Agent Scully? Bilac's gone.

What ? How's that possible ?

I don't know. I went to check
on him and he just wasn't there.

- Did you step away from
this door at any time ?
- No.

- And no one entered this room ?
- Absolutely not.

- What about a rat ?
- Sir ?

- Did you ever see
any rats in this room ?
- All the time. Why ?

- How do you think they get in here ?
- Through the old heating system.

There are vents
all over the place.

[Scully]
Are there any other doors
or windows in this room ?

- [Officer] I checked.
There's only one way out.
- You didn't hear anything ?

Nothing.

I want you to search the entire building
beginning with every room on this floor.

- Yes, ma'am.
- Hey, Scully, take a look at this.

- Where does that lead to ?
- The old steam tunnel.

- How do you get down there ?
- They're pretty much sealed up.
Haven't been used for 50 years.

Do you think Bilac
crawled down there ?

Unless he was dragged.

The system looks like it branches off
into three directions.

There must be miles
of tunneling down there.

- [Mulder]
And only one way in.
- And one way out.

Ladies first ?

Which way ?

To the left, it looks like.

- [Banging]
- [ Gasps ]

Follow that rat.

We should be directly
under the museum here.

Scully ?

- Scully !
- What is it ?

[Scully]
Oh, my God.

It's Dr. Lewton.

Looks like his eyes were eaten
right out of his sockets.

We still don't know by what.

- What is it ?
- I think it's a cat.

Do you think that cat
killed these people ?

No, these cats.

- Which way is out ?
- [Cat Screeching]

Come on, Scully !

[ Cats Screeching ]

No, Mulder. This way.

There's a room here
with a vent.

There.

[ Screeches ]

[ Gasps ]

- It's Bilac.
- [Banging]

Can you jump in there ?

- Yeah.
- Come on.

[ Screeching ]

[Cats Screeching]

[Siren Wailing]

He's been down there too long.
It's all right. Come on up.

Okay, I will call
you back later.

Well, the search team's
on their way back up.

They've recovered all the bodies,
including Mona's and Bilac's.

What about the cats ?

No. Animal control is still looking.
So far they haven't found
any sign of them.

Well, we both saw them down there,
Scully. We know they're down there.

No one's denying that. It�s just that
there are miles of tunnels down there...

and they're saying it's gonna take weeks
to search them all.

- Well, by then it won't even matter.
- What are you talking about ?

I just got off the phone with the
Assistant Secretary of State�s office.

- They've called in
the Ecuadorian Ambassador.
- What for?

Five people had to die,
but they're finally taking it seriously.

- The curse ?
- No.

Bilac's letter of protest.

The state department has asked
that the museum remain closed
until they can act officially on it.

Are they going
to send back the bones ?

The urn will be back in Ecuador
by the end of the week.

[Mulder Narrating]
The Suffolk County Coroner ruled
the death sat the museum...

were the result
of animal attacks.

What motivated these attacks
and why no more have occurred
since has not been explained.

To the museum, the Amaru Urn was
an artifact from a dying culture.

Its curse merely
a primitive superstition.

Dr. Bilac learned there is
a world beyond our own,

unseen but powerful,

and as real at the urn itself.

The icons from that world represent
forces that cannot be tamed...

or collected in a museum.

The true curse that struck the museum
was the failure to understand...

that there are powers
that should not be disturbed--
