[ Croaking ]

When I began my field research
here, these frogs were thriving.

Since then, the adult population
has dropped to fewer than 200.

If you don't take protective measures,
in a few years...

rhinus venisefula will be
extinct here.

Frog populations are declining
all over the globe, Dr. Faraday.
No one knows why.

We can't possibly place them all
on the Endangered Species list.

We'd find a way if it were cute, furry
little mammals we were talking about.

Regardless, your study remains
inconclusive-- speculative at best.

You've provided
no concrete evidence...

the frog depopulation is the exclusive
result of human encroachment.

A frog holocaust is currently
being executed, Dr. Bailey,
and man is the executioner.

You're a biologist, Faraday.

You've never heard of
"survival of the fittest" ?

Well, don�t forget that rule
also applies to mankind.

You can't turn your back
on nature...

or nature will
turn her back on you !

Aw, damn it.
[ Sighs ]

Freakin' beeper.

[ Screaming ]
No ! No ! No !

[ Croaks ]

[Whimpering]

Nature's calling.
We should pull over soon.

Did you really
have to bring that thing?

You wake me up on a Saturday morning,
tell me to be ready in five minutes,

my mother is out of town,
all the dog-sitters are booked,

- and you know how I feel about kennels.
-[Whimpering Continues]

So, unless you want to lose your
security deposit on the car,
I suggest you pull over.

All right, well,
I think I'm lost anyway.
I gotta stop and ask for directions.

I know I'm lost as to why you�re so
interested in this missing-persons case.

Dr. Bailey
works for the U.S. Forestry Service.
Makes his disappearance a federal case.

It's not jurisdiction
that I'm questioning, Mulder.

Dr. Bailey's not the first person to go
missing from Huevelmans Lake recently.

Two weeks ago, a Boy Scout troop
was out here fossil hunting.

Their troop leader
wandered off to relieve himself.
He hasn't been seen or heard from since.

So you think that there's
a serial killer at large ?

The operative word being
"Large."

- What are you leaving out ?
- What makes you think
I'm leaving anything out ?

Multiple missing-persons cases
are not that uncommon, Mulder.

Why this one warrants us
flying halfway across the country
and driving for two hours...

is a total mystery.

Oh, tell me
you're not serious.

According to the sheriffs report,
you were the last person
to see Dr. Bailey alive.

- That's what they tell me.
- I understand you argued over
an endangered species petition.

Bailey was the worst kind
of hypocrite.

The closest he came to communing
with nature was subscribing
to National Geographic.

- You sound bitter, Dr. Faraday.
- Of course I'm bitter.

The man wrote off three years
of carefully collected data
in a two-hour inspection...

which doesn't mean
I plotted his demise.

Well, that is what you�re
suggesting, isn't it ?

Well, aside from having a motive,
you don't seem too upset by any of this.

You expect me to cry for one man
when entire species are perched
on the brink of extinction ?

Dr. Faraday, you know the
wildlife in and around this lake
as well as anybody, don�t you ?

- I'd say that's accurate.
- Any indigenous species capable
of attacking a human being ?

Yes.

- Another human being.
-Aside from that.

Is there a creature
that comes to mind--

Has anyone ever told you two you have
a great problem coming to the point ?

Okay, then. In your work,
have you come across any evidence...

that lends support to the existence
of this creature they call " Big Blue" ?

See, this is what always happens.
This is how it starts.

- What ?
- The defection, sleight of hand.

See, whenever an issue requires any
real thought, any serious mental effort,

- people turn to U.F.O.'s
and sea serpents and Sasquatch.
-[Tools Clattering]

Afternoon talk shows
and tabloid TV--

they've reduced our attention span
to the length of a sound bite...

so that soon our ability
to think will be as extinct
as the rhinus venisefula frog.

I'll take that rambling diatribe
to mean you don't believe
in the existence of such a creature.

I'm not even gonna grace
that statement with a reply.

A prehistoric animal living in a lake
is not without precedent.

Last August they pulled a bull shark
from Lake Onota in Massachusetts.

An anomaly...
which proves nothing.

It only serves as fodder
for pseudo scientists...

with nothing better to do
than chase fairy tales.

Excuse me.

- [ Yapping ]
- Lake creatures have been
reported for centuries...

in dozens of countries, from
the monsters in Loch Ness and Shale...

to the Ogo Pogo
on Lake Okanaga.

And Lake Champlain,
Lagafan, Iceland--

- Sounds like you know a little
something about the subject.
- I did as a kid.

But then I grew up
and became a scientist.

Well, some very grown-up
crypto zoologists believe...

that it could be an evolutionary
throwback, possibly prehistoric.

- An aquatic dinosaur.
- A plesiosaur, actually.

Though, admittedly, there's not
a lot of hard evidence to back that up.

You know why ? Because
those creatures don't exist, Mulder.

They're folktales born out of some
collective fear of the unknown.

How many folktales do you know
that could eat a Boy Scout leader
and a biologist ?

[Bell On Door Rings]

Check this out, Scully.

Looks like an insect casing or
carapace-- something from a beetle.

- How can I help you folks ?
- We're looking for the
Lake View Cabins, Flicker Road.

Oh, you passed the turnoff
a few miles back.

It's pretty tough to find.
A map might help.

Uh, they're 2.50 each,
plus Uncle Sam.

Fine.

If you don't mind my sayin',
you folks don't look like
you're here for the trout.

No, we're with the F.B.I.
We're investigating a pair
of missing-persons reports.

Oh, yeah.
Yep, that's big news around here.

Everybody's been talkin'
about it.

- What are they saying ?
- Same thing they've been
saying for years.

I'm not one for spreading rumors. I've
heard the stories since I was a kid.

- About Big Blue.
What kind of stories ?
- Well,

I was ten years old,
fishin' with my daddy.

I heard a big commotion,
clear across the lake--

a wailing sound the likes of which I had
never heard before, haven't heard since.

My daddy told me later it was a cow
who'd escaped from the Rockdale ranch...

and was drinkin' by the lake
when old Blue came up and
snatched her right off the bank.

- That's quite a story.
- That�s just one.

Those stories must sell
a lot of T-shirts.

[ Chuckling ]
Well, a man's gotta survive.

What about you--
you believe those stories ?

Well, I believe every man's gotta look
at the evidence, decide for himself.

-[Bell Rings]
- But if you wanna ask a real expert...

you should probably
talk to Ansel here.

He's out there practically every day.
It was his daddy's cow that got eaten.

Can you get these developed
by tomorrow, Ted ?

- Gimme another five rolls.
Put 'em on my tab.
- [ Sighs ]

These folks are
with the F.B.I., Ansel.

They're looking into that unsolved
mystery of how those people disappeared.

" Unsolved mystery."
Since when's it a mystery ?

So you think Big Blue's responsible
for what�s been happening ?

- Don�t you ?
- Have you ever actually seen it ?

Not directly, no.
But I aim to.

One day, I'll be in the right place
at the right time,

and I will snap a shot
of that monster.

There we go.

All right.

- [ Reel Spins ]
- [ Grunts ]

Son of a gun !

Now, if you hit Striker's Cove,
you've gone too far.

-[Bell Rings]
- Call the sheriff. We got a floater.

[ Camera Shutter Clicking ]

[ Grunting ]

It's Scott Moosley,
the Boy Scout troop leader.

[ Sighs ]
Well, his fy's undone.

Are you
insinuating something ?

No, most drowning victims are found with
high levels of alcohol in their blood...

and their fies unzipped.

While urinating over the sides
of boats, docks or whatever,
they fall in and drown.

Still doesn't explain
why half of him is missing.

Looks to me like
something took a big bite.

- Maybe not so big.
- What do you mean ?

Fish eat decomposing matter.
Any body that's suspended in
this environment for a time...

is going to become a food source--
we eat fish, and fish eat us.

Are fish also known for eating half
and saving half for later ?

Oh, God, no !

[Splashing,

[Camera Shutter Clicking]

Like I said,
I recognize his hat.

How could you not ?

So, there's Ted Bertram's four-by
parked about a mile up that way,

here's his hat,
and here's these tracks.

Know what I'm sayin' ?

- I mean, look at the size
of these tracks.
- [ Chattering, indistinct ]

Mulder, this is
Sheriff Lance Head.

W-Watch out for the tracks.

Careful. Watch out
where you�re walking.

Queequeg.

How you doin' ? Ansel,
why don�t you go... check the woods ?

- Today's the day, Sheriff.
I'm gonna get him.
- Yeah.

- Any sign of Ted Bertram ?
- No, and I'm not jumpin'
to any conclusions either.

Speakin' of which, what's this I hear
about you wantin' to close the lake ?

just until we figure out
what's going on here.

Well, sir, I think I can
tell you what's going on.
Same thing goes on every year.

Fishermen get drunk, they drown.
Folks get run over by a powerboat.

Hell, on a lake this size, you're gonna
have eight, nine deaths in a season.

- That�s just a statistical fact.
- But you�ve got two or three
in as many weeks.

I'd say you�re a little outside
of your bell curve, Sheriff.

Agent... Mulder ?
Mulder.

This lake has 48 miles
of shoreline.

I got four deputies full time.
Now, to close down a lake this size--

hell, you'd have to call out the
National Guard for something like that.

- You'd need irrefutable proof.
- What about these tracks ?

But, Mulder, a creature as large
as the one you�re looking for would...

have left considerably
deeper impressions.

Queequeg !

- Queequeg, come back here ! Queequeg !
- [ Barking ]

[Dog Whimpering]

Mulder, Sheriff,
come take a look at this.

[Sheriff]
What you got ?

- There's your lake monster, Mulder.
- That's what it looks like.

- It's all a hoax.
- I'll be damned. Sure seems like it.

Yeah, but what happened
to the hoaxer ?

[Boy]
I saw it on the... Discovery Channel.

They got like this whole,
you know, cult...

built up around
these tree toads.

[ Sighs ] The skin's got
these hallucinogenic properties.

Lets you see all these visions.
It's really spiritual.

Yeah ?

I don't know.

It's supposed to take
the doors of perception...

and swing them
so wide open, you know ?

Plus you get to see all these
cool streaks and trails and crap.

[ Groans ]

Well ?

Are you sure that's
even a toad ?

[ Screams ]

Dude, what's wrong with you ?
You made me drop my toad.

Chill out, man.
I'll get you another one.

How long till we get
down to Lauderdale ?

[Screaming]

[ Continues Screaming ]

[Boy]
Dude !

Oh, no.

Dude ? Whoa.

[Police Radio,
indistinct]

How 'bout you ?

Neither one of you remember anything ?
Great.

If this is a hoax,
it's quite an elaborate one.

I got zip outta Free Bird and Moon Unit.
No telling what they've been smoking.

- What's it lookin' like ?
- It's hard to tell without an autopsy,

but it looks like propeller damage
from a motorboat.

- Designated boating area.
- But 20 feet from shore
and twice in one day ?

Mulder, look at it out there.
It's like rush hour.

- I think you�re ignoring the obvious.
- What about Ted Bertram ?

For all we know, he stepped in something
and bled into those funny shoes of his.

He's probably so embarrassed
right now that he doesn't even
want to show his face.

Oh, is that the psychological
approach to crime-solving--
he's too embarrassed ?

Regardless of what I believe,
there's no hard evidence
that it's what you believe.

[Man]
~See your true colors
shinin' through~

~See your true colors~

~ That's why I love you~

* So don't be afraid *

*To show your true *

~Blue colors~

Okay, Big Blue.
You're mine.

Today's the day.

~ Colors~

*That's why I love you *

Crap ! Jesus !

- [ Shutter Clicking ]
- [ Screaming ]

[Man]
Yeah, right over there.

- This roll's been exposed.
Can you get that developed ?
- Yes, sir.

Thanks. That's three
in one day, Sheriff.

All this driving from crime
scene to crime scene is
giving me highway hypnosis.

- Close down the lake.
- I done told you once.
It ain't that simple.

I just ain't got
the manpower.

Furthermore,

I'm not at all convinced we're
dealing with an aquatic menace.

He's right, Mulder.
Those two sets of remains
we've found so far are inconclusive.

We really need
to find this body.

My thoughts exactly,
ma'am.

If you�ll just give us
a couple more minutes--

- Whoa !
- Sheriff !

Sheriff !

- [ Panting ]
- You all right, Sheriff?

Are you okay, Sheriff ?

Uh, somethin'--

somethin' brushed up against me
out there-- somethin'... big.

- Close the lake. Close it down !
- Right, Sheriff.
- Yeah.

I want you to call the state police
and the wildlife fish and game.

You tell 'em we got
an emergency situation.

- Looks like Ansel took these
during the attack.
-[Dog Whimpering]

I agree with you.
I just wish he gave us something more.

- Well, look at this.
-[Whimpering Continues]

Could this be a tooth ?

Yeah, it could be
a lot of things, Mulder.

Fifteen years of fruitless hunting and
the only thing the guy comes up with...

is a blurry picture
of the monster's tooth ?

Well, there are thousands
of pictures here, Scully.

There's gotta be some visual evidence
somewhere. Here, go through these.

[Whimpering Continues]

Mulder, these are just
a bunch of poorly-composed
tourist shots. There's--

- That could be something.
- A tooth ?

[Whimpering Continues]

I'm taking Queequeg
for a walk.

Want me to come with you ?

- I'll be fine.
- [ Chuckles ]

[ Whimpering ]

- Good night, Mulder.
- All right.
I'll see you in the morning.

Come on, Queequeg.

- [ Growls ]
- [ Sighs ]

- Queequeg, we're not gonna
go into the woods.
- [ Barking ]

Come on, do your business.
I thought you had to go.

- [ Continues Barking ]
- Queequeg.

- What is it ?
- [ Barks, Snarls ]

Queequeg !
Where are you going ?

Queequeg ! Queequeg,
come back here !

-[Barking Continues]
- Queequeg !

- Queequeg.
-[Barking Continues]

Queequeg !

-[Leash Winding]
-[Dog Whimpering]

- But-- Quee--
-[Growling, Snarling]

-[Dog Squeals]
- Queequ--

[ Panting ]

- Queequ--
- [ Spooling ]

[ Gasps ]

I'm sorry about Queequeg.

You know, I think I've learned
something from these photos.

- Mulder--
- They're not pictures
of the lake monster,

they�re pictures of the lake--
locations where the creature's
been sighted over the years.

Look at this.
Five years ago,

all the sightings occurred
in the center of the lake,

but progressively the sightings
have moved closer and closer to shore...

until this year, they're
practically on the shore.

Could you repeat the last part again ?
I kinda faded out.

Which-Which part ?

After you said,
"I'm sorry."

Can you drive a boat ?

[ Sonar Beeping ]

-[Scully] It's too bad
we're not out here fishing.
- We are fishing.

You really expect to find this thing,
don�t you, Mulder ?

You wanna head
right h-here.

I'll take that as a "yes."

I know the difference
between expectation and hope.

Seek and ye shall find,
Scully.

You know, on the old mariners' maps,
the cartographers would designate...

uncharted territories
by writing " Here be monsters."

Oh, I got a map of New York City
just like that.

-[Sonic Beeping increases]
- What was that ?

It ain't no bass.

[ Beeping Continues ]

What is that ?

- What is that, Mulder ?
- [ Beeping increases ]

- There be monsters, Scully.
- It looks like it's coming
straight at us.

- Yep, that's what it looks like.
-[Beeping increases]

[Crashing]

Mayday ! Mayday !
Does anybody read me ?

This is a distress call
from the Patricia Rae.

PA7A3A27.
I'm on a signal--

[Crashing Continues]

- Mayday ! Mayday !
- Scully, let's get outta here !

There goes
our $500 deposit.

- [ Sighs ] I say we swim to shore.
- Swim ?

Yeah. The shore can't be
too far from here.

In which direction ?

Yeah. And, you know,
livin' in the city, you forget
that night is actually so, uh,

dark.

Living in the city
you forget a lot of things.

You know, there you�re always thinking
about being mugged or hit by a car.

It's not until you get back to nature
until you realize that everything
is out to get you.

That's what my father
always taught me--

to respect nature, 'cause
it has no respect for you.

[Water Splashing]

[Water Splashing]

[Scully Panting]

That was him, Scully.
That was Big Blue.

So what if it was ?

- Mulder, what are we doing here ?
- What do you mean,
"what are we doing here ?"

What are you hoping
to accomplish ?

[ Sighs ] Scully, so many of the
things we investigate are so intangible.

But this creature exists within the
specific earthly confines of this lake,

- and I want to find it.
- What for ?

You're a scientist.
Why do you ask that question ?
It would be a miraculous discovery.

It could revolutionize
evolutionary biological thinking.

- Is that really the reason why ?
- [ Sighs ]

You know when you showed me those
pictures that the photographer took ?

You wanna know
what I really saw in them ?

- A tooth ?
- No. You.

That man is your future--
Listening only to himself,

hoping to catch a glimpse of the truth
for who knows what reason.

Well, I did read in his journals
that he was hoping to live off
the copyright fees...

from a genuine Big Blue photo.

Well, as dumb as it sounds,
at least it's a legitimate reason.

You don't think
my reasons are legitimate ?

Mulder, sometimes
I just can't figure them out.

[Soft Splashing]

Mulder.

[Quacking]

[ Laughs ]

- [ Quacking Continues ]
- I'm still tempted to fire.

Hey, Scully, do you think
you could ever cannibalize someone.

I mean, if you really had to.

Well, as much as the very idea
is abhorrent to me,

I suppose under certain conditions
a living entity is practically
conditioned...

to perform whatever extreme measures
are necessary to ensure its survival.

I suppose I'm no different.

You've lost some weight
recently, haven�t you ?

Yeah. Actually, I have.
Thanks for--

[ Chuckling ] But it is amazing
what some animals will do...

to guarantee the continuation
of a species, isn't it ?

I mean, a creature of this size
must have adapted its behavior
over the years...

to minimize its chances of being seen
by its only predator-- us.

Its coming closer to shore
for its prey must be an act
of desperation on its part.

Poor Queequeg.

Why did you name
the dog "Queequeg" ?

It was the name of the harpoonist
in Moby Dick.

My father used to read to me from
Moby Dick when I was a little girl.

I called him 'Ahab, "and
he called me "Starbuck. "

So I named my dog Queequeg.

That's funny.
I just realized something.

- It's a bizarre name for a dog, huh ?
- No.

How much you're
like Ahab.

You�re so consumed by your
personal vengeance against life,

whether it be its inherent
cruelties or its mysteries,

that everything takes on
a warped significance to fit
your megalomaniacal cosmology.

Scully,
are you coming on to me ?

It�s just--
The truth or a white whale--
what difference does it make ?

Both obsessions are
impossible to capture,

and trying to do so
will only leave you dead...

along with everyone else
you bring with you.

You know, Mulder,
you are Ahab.

You know, it's interesting
you should say that, because
I've always wanted a peg leg.

It's a boyhood thing
I never grew out of.

No, I'm not being flippant. I mean,
I've given this a lot of thought.

If you have a peg leg
or hooks for hands,

you know, maybe it's enough
to simply carry on living--

you know, bravely facing life
with your disability.

It's heroic just to survive.
But without these things,
you're actually expected...

to make something of your life-- achieve
something, earn a raise, wear a necktie.

So-So-So, if anything,
I'm actually the antithesis of Ahab,

because if I did have a peg leg
I'd quite possibly be more happy
and more content...

and not feel the need to chase after
these creatures of the unknown.

- And that's not flippant ?
- [ Laughing ] No.

Flippant is my favorite line
from Moby Dick:

" Hell is an idea first born on
an undigested apple dumpling."

Yeah.

[Splashing]

[Splashing Resumes,
Louder]

- What was that ?
- I don't know, but it ain't no duck.

[Splashing Continues]

[ Panting ]

I thought I heard voices.
What are you two doing out here ?

- Dr. Faraday ?
- Hope I'm not interrupting anything.

No. No. We, uh--
we had a little trouble with our boat.

- Actually, it sank.
- How'd that happen ?

It was my fault.
[ Sighs ]

We would have been out here all night if
you hadn't answered our distress call.

Oh, I didn't. I was walking by.
I heard you talking.

- Walking by ?
- Yeah.

Yeah, the shore is just
a stone's throw from here.

[ Chuckling ]
Come on. I'll take you back.

It was just out of fuel.
I think the sheriff will
be along in a couple minutes.

I'd drive you myself,
but I've got work to do.

What exactly is it that you�re
doing out here, Dr. Faraday ?
It's well after midnight.

Well, night is rhinus venisefula's
most active period,

and this is
its primary breeding ground,

or at least it used to be.

Thousands of eggs used
to cling to these reeds--

beautiful jelly clusters.

Now one must turn over many a leaf
in order to find potential offspring.

- What's in the sack ?
- Adult frogs.

I've been breeding them in captivity
and releasing them into the wild.

[Scully]
This is Striker�s Cove ?

- Mm-hmm.
- The frogs--

- I beg your pardon ?
- The unexplained depletion of
frogs originates from this cove.

- It's the food chain.
- What about it ?

The food chain. If you alter
one life-form in an ecosystem,

the rest is necessarily affected,
either by an increase or decrease.

So, if an aquatic dinosaur's
diet consisted primarily of frogs,

then if those frogs became scarce,
it would have to turn
to an alternative food source.

- Humans.
- Agent Mulder,

you are taking my legitimate research
and basic biological principle...

and stretching them both
way out of proportion...

in an effort to give
some kind of validity
to an entirely ludicrous theory.

There is no prehistoric
lake monster.

This creature lives here in this cove.
That explains the disappearance
of these frogs,

for which you have no explanation,
Doctor, ludicrous or not,

- as well as the recent human attacks.
- That's crazy!

If something was living in these waters,
you don't think I would've seen it ?

I�ve been conducting research
here for three years.

I'm talking about a prehistoric animal
that's gone unnoticed for virtually
thousands of years.

If it knows how to do anything,
it knows how to hide.

They say the Loch Ness Monster
doesn't live in the water,
it lives in the surrounding cliffs.

Maybe Big Blue has an inland habitat,
somewhere in the rocks
or in this dense forest here.

I have no time
for these absurdities.

If you�ll excuse me,
I have some amphibians to release.

Well, Captain, what now ?

- [ Sighs ]
-[Sheriff]
Agent Scully! Agent Mulder!

There's been another death,

and this time it does appear to
be some kind of animal attack--
bit a fisherman's arm clean off.

- Where did this happen ?
- Other side of the lake,
couple hours ago.

My department has the cooperation
of the state police,

plus the full use of all the Wildlife
Fish and Game Department vessels.

I got a full-scale
water search already underway.

No, we need those men here,
searching this cove and these woods.

But I got 30 boats on the water already.
If we�re gonna kill this thing--

We gotta sweep this cove.
It's here at Striker's Cove.

The boats are searching
the area of the latest attack,
and I'm not gonna move them.

Now, if you wanna waste your time
conducting a search of these woods,

you go right ahead--
I got me a lake monster to catch.

[Dispatcher Over Radio,
indistinct]

Sheriff,

Agent Mulder and I would appreciate it
if you could spare us...

two or three of your men
to assist us here.

[ Sighs ]
All right. I'll send 'em on back.

Thanks.

[Distant Rustling,
Screaming]

- What was that ?
- Dr. Faraday.

[ Frogs Croaking ]

[Screaming]

- What happened ?
- My leg-- something grabbed my leg.

- Did you see it ?
- No. [Grunts]

It came from behind me.
Before I knew it, it had me--
shaking me back and forth.

- Then it just let go.
- Give me your belt.

- I didn't want to believe you.
- I think you nicked an artery.

We've gotta get him to a hospital.
He's losing blood.

- Where'd it go ?
- I didn't see it.
I didn't see it. [ Groans ]
