TV-Serie: The X-Files - 1x23
Here, let me do it.
Putyour number in, then your card.
What's your number, Roland?
Three fifteen.
See how easy it is?
Engine efficiency?
Ninety-four percent.
We need more.
How's the back pressure holding?
What doyou think?
It's climbing.
Increase the blade inclination.
I said-- The inclination ofthe blade is pi over nine.
We've reached maximum velocity.
No!
Let it go!
It will work.
It will destroy itself!.
I'm not going to do that.
It's not going to destroy itself.
Come on!
We're almost there!
Our equations are wrong.
What happened?
Nothing.
He pulled the plug.
I'm just protecting the baby-- and fouryears ofwork.
Fouryears that add up to zilch.
Unless we show some progress...
they're going to pull the plug on us, Ron.
You should have continued with the test.
Somebody's going to crack Mach 1 5...
and I want it to be us.
I won'tjeopardize everything becauseyou two...
can't wait to see your name in print.
It's print that gets the money, Ron.
Go down in fames together.
Fine, go ahead.
I'm going to do the math.
Good night, Dr.
Keats.
What the hell?
Roland.
Open the door.
Open the door!
Roland, I wantyou to listen to me very carefully.
We have to open this door, Roland.
Stop typing!
Roland!
Roland, open the door!
What areyou doing?!
Open the door!
Roland, hit escape.
Areyou listening?
(screaming) (splat) How was the wedding?
The part where the groom passed out...
or the dog bit the drummer?
Did you catch the bouquet?
Maybe.
Is that whatyou couldn't talk about over the phone?
The project everyone says doesn't exist does exist.
The lcarus project?
The next generation injet engine design.
Capable ofdoubling current supersonic speeds...
using halfthe fuel, at least, in theory.
And Ronald Surnow was an aeronautical scientist...
who worked on it here at the university.
Yes.
How close are they?
I'm not sure, but Surnow's the second team scientist...
to die in six months.
But how is this an X file?
Mulder, you don't think...
this has anything to do with U.F.O.
technology?
There's something unexplainable, Scully...
but it's not unidentifiable.
Keats?
There.
Dr.
Keats?
We're with the F.B.I.
I'm Agent Mulder.
This is Agent Scully.
We understand you discovered Dr.
Surnow this morning.
What was left ofhim.
How doyou suppose he became trapped in the wind tunnel?
Someone must have shut him in.
By computer?
We've already been through this with the police.
Another member ofyour team died recently...
isn't that correct?
Yes.
Arthur Grable.
He was killed in an automobile accident in November.
I'm Frank Nollette.
I'm also on the project.
Areyou certain it was an accident?
What areyou driving at?
Yourwork seems to be...
a perfect target for industrial espionage.
Who wrote this?
Ron was working on it when I left.
The handwriting here...
doesn't match other handwriting on the board.
It isn't mine.
What about Roland Fuller?
Uh...
Roland's the, uh...janitor.
According to the police...
he was the only other person here.
Roland didn't do that.
How doyou know?
Let'sjust say Roland isn't exactly a rocket scientist.
Here. "
Tracy."
(giggles) With stars.
Woman: Roland.
There are some people here to talkwith you.
Uh-oh.
I went offthe paper.
Sorry.
That's all right, Roland.
Tracy?
Would you help me in the TV room?
Okay.
Hi, Roland.
Mind ifwe sit down?
Thanks.
Mind ifwe askyou a couple questions?
Doyou rememberworking last night?
Uh-huh.
Doyou remember seeing anything unusual?
Seeing any strangers?
Did Dr.
Surnow or Dr.
Keats or Dr.
Nollette...
do anything unusual?
Nope.
You must like stars.
One hundred and forty-seven.
Sorry?
Stars.
You like numbers, too, huh?
Roland, let me helpyou.
One, two, three...
four, five...
six, seven, eight...
Roland?
ls everything okay?
Roland, areyou all right?
Eleven...
twelve, thirteen...
What happened?
What did you say to upset him so?
Sixteen, seventeen...
It's definitely the work ofa fourth individual.
Surnow's, Keats' and Nollette's cursive standards...
don't match whatyou found on the white board.
Will you do me a favor and try this?
What is it?
Something Roland doodled at the home.
You don't really think Roland...
He was the only other person in the lab.
Yes, but we're talking...
about a sophisticated fuid dynamics equation.
Roland barely has an l.Q of70.
You saw his facility with mathematics.
Some autistic individuals display unusual abilities.
Yes, but even savants...
behave only as human calculators.
They can perform certain functions...
but they can't tell the value ofanything...
or the meaning ofa number.
I hate to take sides, but the bottom line is no.
The terminal stroke on the six, the roofon the five...
I'm sorry.
He didn't write it.
(gasping) (grunting) (loud music from earphones) (beeping) (door clicks) (screaming) (shattering) (crunching) (typing) Scully: An organic object, exposed to liquid nitrogen...
will become frozen...
exhibiting great tensile strength...
but is vulnerable to stress from compression or impact.
Now, I've seen this demonstrated on a fish before...
I don't think they'll be performing...
this experiment on Beakman's World.
Has this been dusted?
Treatyourself.
Thanks.
Hey, Scully, look at these files. "
KMAN" must be Keats.
His file was turned off at 1 2:31 last night.
Scully: But look.
Someone else entered a file...
under the name "Arthur," after 1 2:31 .
And worked on it for nearly five hours.
Well, it couldn't have been Keats.
judging from the rigor ofthe body...
he was dead around 1 2:30.
You're saying someone came in here, killed Keats...
and worked on an old Grable file?
I can't access the Arthur file.
We're going to need the password.
Try 1 5626.
How did you know that that was..?
This is Arthur Grable's work...
on the same fuid dynamics equations...
the others were working on.
Look at all those entries.
Someone has been continuing his work since he died.
How did you know what the password was?
Woman: Wave good-bye.
Wave good-bye.
(child crying) Say good-bye.
Bye-bye.
Wave good-bye.
(door opening) Roland?
Why did you sleep in your clothes?
Well, let's getyou dressed.
You have visitors.
I'm not supposed to talk to them.
Who told you that?
Remember that talkwe had about being shy?
These are nice people, Roland.
Hey, Roland, you have more shirts than I do.
I think this one would look stylin' today.
What doyou think?
The green one.
Green one?
Please.
Mrs.
Stodie...
can I talk toyou a second?
Seeyou later, Roland.
This one?
Hereyou go.
Soyou likeyourjob at the college, Roland?
Yes.
I hearyou're very good at it.
Doyou remember howyou gotyourjob?
A man talked to Mrs.
Stodie.
What man?
Dr.
Grable.
Was Dr.
Grable nice toyou?
Yes.
When was the last time you spoke to him?
Last week?
Day before?
Dr.
Grable died.
I'm sorry.
Yes.
People die.
They go away...
and they're not supposed to come back.
Has Roland ever mentioned the name "Arthur"?
That was Dr.
Grable's first name..
but we only called him Dr.
Grable.
I doubt Roland even knew his first name was Arthur.
Scully: Mrs.
Stodie, can I get a copy...
of Roland's file and past history?
Our histories are confidential.
I understand...
but I have grounds to obtain them.
The less time we spend in court...
the more time we have to help Roland.
Roland Fullerwas hired byArthur Grable.
He went to the halfway house...
specifically to find a mentally challenged person.
Areyou suggesting...
Arthur Grable hired Roland to use him?
Areyou suggesting Arthur Grable is not dead?
Ifhe had intentions ofkilling Nollette, Keats, and Surnow...
why not set it up to appear the least likely suspect?
Yeah, but by the look ofthis, he's hamburger.
Maybe he staged it.
That would explain why his work is continuing on...
six months after his death.
This obituary says Arthur Grable was born in Seattle.
His fatherwas a big banker.
His motherwas active in a number ofcharities.
Only child.
Summa cum laude in physics.
Doctoral and postdoctoral...
in aeronautical engineering at Harvey Mudd.
Brilliant future, tragically cut short.
Roland's also from Seattle.
He spent most ofhis life at the Heritage Halfway House.
The identity ofhis parents has been sealed.
There's no information on Roland before age three...
when he was put in the program.
Does it saywhen he was born?
july 1 5, 1 952.
That's also Arthur's birth date.
Don'tyou wish you could fy?
I can.
When I dream.
People can do anything in a dream, you know.
Once, one time, I had a dream we were married...
and lived in a house.
Doyou have dreams, Roland?
You can tell me.
Roland?
Who's Arthur?
I'm sorry, Roland.
I'm sorry.
Roland?
Roland?
Go away!
Roland, what's the matter?
Go away!
I don't want to hurtyou!
Go away!
Go away.
Mulder: ls thatyou?
Nollette: Yes.
What's the story here?
(sighs) Um...
a quantum physics professor ofmine...
at Harvey Mudd funked me.
He challenged the tenets ofone ofmy theories-- a theory I later published in Nature.
Anyway, to get back at him...
one afternoon, we decided to take his car apart...
and put it back together again in his office...
and left it running.
An egghead classic.
It was Grable's idea.
Scully: ls that Grable on the chair?
Yeah.
Was he a practical joker?
Atop ofall his brilliance...
he had a genius for executing elaborate schemes.
Could he be making it seem like a man with a 70 l.Q..
is gaining access to and operating...
his old computer files?
Arthurwould still have to be alive.
Could he have faked his own death?
No.
The police report on the auto accident...
that killed Grable is woefully incomplete.
A dry road surface, no mechanical problems found.
The bodywas never admitted to a county morgue...
and there was no funeral.
Ifyou are trying to suggest...
that Arthur Grable killed Surnow and Keats...
and is after me next, you're way off.
Art could not have done the murders.
How can you be so certain?
Man: This is Arthur Grable.
Because ofthe massive internal damage to his body...
caused by the car accident, we could only preserve the head.
Wouldn'tyour client find it inconvenient...
to be thawed out, only to discover...
he had no functional mobility?
We believe that, by the time science figures a way...
to revive our clients...
You'll also know how to clone new bodies.
Exactly.
This technology is progressing faster...
than anyone thought possible.
Ask anyone here at the university.
So, while for us, the passing ofeach second...
brings our bodies closer to death...
for our clients, it brings them closer to life.
These fuctuations in temperature-- Do they happen often?
No.
We've had some problems with this capsule.
Our technicians have checked it...
but they've found nothing.
Could the brain cause the fuctuations?
No, but we are looking for the explanation.
The patient's in no danger.
He remains perfectly preserved...
as long as there's liquid nitrogen in the capsule.
Maywe take a look at Arthur Grable's records?
Thankyou.
Dr.
Barrington...
in the future, what requirements will exist...
to be an organ or tissue donor?
Same requirements as there are today.
Compatible genetic makeup.
It's best ifthe donor's related.
Mulder...
Arthur Grable put down only one donor.
Mulder: Roland Fuller and Arthur Grable had the same birthday.
I think they're twins.
Older oryounger?
Same age...
just less hairy and with better eyesight.
And the moustache?
Scully: No.
Lose the whole beard.
Next?
Close-cropped hair...
with a slightly receding widow's peak.
Lose the glasses.
That's Roland.
Give or take a few pounds.
Tell me aboutyour dreams, Roland.
It's all right.
I won't tell anybody.
You know, I had a dream last night.
I dreamt I was swimming in this pool...
and I could see my father underwater...
but when I dove down, the water stung my eyes.
Then there was another man at the pool, watching me.
He upset me.
He was asking me questions I didn't want to answer...
and I had to leave.
I couldn't find my father.
I can't tell you my dreams.
Why not?
Bad.
Your dreams are bad, Roland...
notyou.
You're a good person.
I hit Tracy.
Your dreams makeyou hit Tracy?
You know how to work this toy, Roland?
Here.
You see, the wayyou work that toy...
is like what's happening toyou.
You're the spaceship, Roland...
and your dreams are the controls.
Who...?
Who runs the controls?
Haveyou seen this man recently?
Woman: We have to say bye-bye to Roland.
(screaming) Roland.
Roland!
Roland, stop.
Roland!
Roland!
Roland?
We need to keep Roland under observation.
Roland?
(glass breaking) He's trying to get away.
Roland!
Roland!
Nollette's gone.
We should arrange a security guard to find him.
No one's going to provideyou with anything...
onceyou explain your theory...
on how Roland Fuller is capable ofthese murders.
You've got a brother, don'tyou, Scully?
Yeah, two.
Haveyou ever thought about calling one ofthem...
and then all ofa sudden, the phone rings...
and it's one ofthem calling you?
Does this pitch end...
with a way for me to lower my long distance charges?
Evidence suggests psychic connections...
are stronger between family members.
Particularly between twins that shared the same womb.
Okay, but in this case...
one sibling has closer ties to a frozen Fudgsicle...
than to his own brother.
Arthur Grable is not dead.
He's in a state ofconsciousness...
that no human has ever returned from.
What ifthat state allows one to develop psychic ability...
beyond the potential ofthe conscious mind?
He could use that ability to control his brother...
to kill those scientists.
But whywould he kill his colleagues?
That's a question only Dr.
Nollette can answer.
Okay, let's go.
I have to call my brother.
Mulder: We'vegot to fiindNollette.
Scully: Let's talk to campussecurity.
Wego this way?
No, wegoleft.
Well, whereveryou are, Arthur...
I'm sureyou'll appreciate this.
Arthur and Roland Grable.
Born at Puget Presbyterian to Mr.
and Mrs.
Lewis Grable...
onJuly 1 5, 1 952.
Arthurwas four minutes older than Roland.
Identical twins.
Which means they're the result ofa single egg...
fertilized by a single sperm.
I've read studies...
which suggest that, in some cases...
the identical twin arises very early in the embryonic stage...
when a mutation in one cell is rejected by the other cells...
as foreign.
So Roland's condition is the result of...
a damaged chromosome rejected by one ofArthur's cells?
In a way, that would explain Arthur's genius...
and Roland's strange mathematical gift.
In a way.
(phone rings) Agent Scully.
This is Larry Barrington at the Avalon Foundation.
We've got a situation here.
Uh-huh.
Last night, we had a break-in at the facility.
That's right.
It's Arthur Grable's storage unit.
His internalthermostat's been compromised.
Well, is there any tissue damage?
We're trying to assess that now.
The temperature's still rising.
Something's blocking our access to the cooling program.
Someone tampered with Arthur Grable's capsule.
They're attempting to stabilize it now.
Nollette.
What?
What is it?
(alarm ringing) "Ifl have seen further than other men...
it's because I have stood on the shoulders ofgiants."
No.
This isn'tyours.
It's amazing.
There's this body sitting there...
in front ofme talking...
butyou're controlling it, Arthur.
You took mywork.
(snickers) What good was yourwork going to doyou?
You died before you could finish it...
beforeyou could publish it.
It was mine!
And a brilliant piece ofwork too.
When I saw the writing on the white board...
I knew someone had found the key.
Mach 1 5 was within our reach.
Our futures were guaranteed.
Ironic, isn't it?
You did all the work...
and I get all the glory.
No!
Yes.
Yes, Arthur.
I was here working on the intake problem...
moments away from a solution when you attacked me.
Fortunately, I was carrying a gun.
After the murder ofmy colleagues, who could blame me?
No.
Oh, that's interesting.
(laughs:) I've got it.
That's it.
I've got it!
(groans) Arthur!
Arthur, open the door!
Arthur!
Arthur, how doyou stop this?!
Tell me how!
Arthur!
Wait!
Roland, we need you to help us.
Please, we need you to help us...
to stop the machine.
(child crying) Try to remember how.
Roland, you've got to help him or he'll die.
Wave good-bye, Arthur.
(screaming) Mulder: Come on, Roland.
Roland: I can't remember...
(yells) Scully: He'll be held in...
psychiatric custody for evaluation.
Is he being charged with a crime?
The D.A.
hasn't made that determination yet.
But we've recommended that he be remanded toyour custody...
as soon as the court deems it appropriate.
How could this happen?
Roland never exhibited anyviolent tendencies.
It's my beliefthat he wasn't acting under his own volition.
What doyou mean?
This is the work ofArthur Grable, Roland's brother.
It's a new theory ofjet propulsion...
unfinished at the time ofhis death.
In the last two weeks Roland has...
completed the calculations.
How?
We're not sure, Mrs.
Stodie.
All we know is that Roland...
was somehow able to finish his brother's research.
Roland?
Where areyou going?
Roland, don't go.
I have to.
Okay.
Bye.
Tracy...
wait.
Keep my stars.
I loveyou.
Me too.

Doyou have dreams, Roland?
You can tell me.
Roland?
Who's Arthur?
I'm sorry, Roland.
I'm sorry.
Roland?
Roland?
Go away!
Roland, what's the matter?
Go away!
I don't want to hurtyou!
Go away!
Go away.
Mulder: ls thatyou?
Nollette: Yes.
What's the story here?
(sighs) Um...
a quantum physics professor ofmine...
at Harvey Mudd funked me.
He challenged the tenets ofone ofmy theories-- a theory I later published in Nature.
Anyway, to get back at him...
one afternoon, we decided to take his car apart...
and put it back together again in his office...
and left it running.
An egghead classic.
It was Grable's idea.
Scully: ls that Grable on the chair?
Yeah.
Was he a practical joker?
Atop ofall his brilliance...
he had a genius for executing elaborate schemes.
Could he be making it seem like a man with a 70 l.Q..
is gaining access to and operating...
his old computer files?
Arthurwould still have to be alive.
Could he have faked his own death?
No.
The police report on the auto accident...
that killed Grable is woefully incomplete.
A dry road surface, no mechanical problems found.
The bodywas never admitted to a county morgue...
and there was no funeral.
Ifyou are trying to suggest...
that Arthur Grable killed Surnow and Keats...
and is after me next, you're way off.
Art could not have done the murders.
How can you be so certain?
Man: This is Arthur Grable.
Because ofthe massive internal damage to his body...
caused by the car accident, we could only preserve the head.
Wouldn'tyour client find it inconvenient...
to be thawed out, only to discover...
he had no functional mobility?
We believe that, by the time science figures a way...
to revive our clients...
You'll also know how to clone new bodies.
Exactly.
This technology is progressing faster...
than anyone thought possible.
Ask anyone here at the university.
So, while for us, the passing ofeach second...
brings our bodies closer to death...
for our clients, it brings them closer to life.
These fuctuations in temperature-- Do they happen often?
No.
We've had some problems with this capsule.
Our technicians have checked it...
but they've found nothing.
Could the brain cause the fuctuations?
No, but we are looking for the explanation.
The patient's in no danger.
He remains perfectly preserved...
as long as there's liquid nitrogen in the capsule.
Maywe take a look at Arthur Grable's records?
Thankyou.
Dr.
Barrington...
in the future, what requirements will exist...
to be an organ or tissue donor?
Same requirements as there are today.
Compatible genetic makeup.
It's best ifthe donor's related.
Mulder...
Arthur Grable put down only one donor.
Mulder: Roland Fuller and Arthur Grable had the same birthday.
I think they're twins.
Older oryounger?
Same age...
just less hairy and with better eyesight.
And the moustache?
Scully: No.
Lose the whole beard.
Next?
Close-cropped hair...
with a slightly receding widow's peak.
Lose the glasses.
That's Roland.
Give or take a few pounds.
Tell me aboutyour dreams, Roland.
It's all right.
I won't tell anybody.
You know, I had a dream last night.
I dreamt I was swimming in this pool...
and I could see my father underwater...
but when I dove down, the water stung my eyes.
Then there was another man at the pool, watching me.
He upset me.
He was asking me questions I didn't want to answer...
and I had to leave.
I couldn't find my father.
I can't tell you my dreams.
Why not?
Bad.
Your dreams are bad, Roland...
notyou.
You're a good person.
I hit Tracy.
Your dreams makeyou hit Tracy?
You know how to work this toy, Roland?
Here.
You see, the wayyou work that toy...
is like what's happening toyou.
You're the spaceship, Roland...
and your dreams are the controls.
Who...?
Who runs the controls?
Haveyou seen this man recently?
Woman: We have to say bye-bye to Roland.
(screaming) Roland.
Roland!
Roland, stop.
Roland!
Roland!
Roland?
We need to keep Roland under observation.
Roland?
(glass breaking) He's trying to get away.
Roland!
Roland!
Nollette's gone.
We should arrange a security guard to find him.
No one's going to provideyou with anything...
onceyou explain your theory...
on how Roland Fuller is capable ofthese murders.
You've got a brother, don'tyou, Scully?
Yeah, two.
Haveyou ever thought about calling one ofthem...
and then all ofa sudden, the phone rings...
and it's one ofthem calling you?
Does this pitch end...
with a way for me to lower my long distance charges?
Evidence suggests psychic connections...
are stronger between family members.
Particularly between twins that shared the same womb.
Okay, but in this case...
one sibling has closer ties to a frozen Fudgsicle...
than to his own brother.
Arthur Grable is not dead.
He's in a state ofconsciousness...
that no human has ever returned from.
What ifthat state allows one to develop psychic ability...
beyond the potential ofthe conscious mind?
He could use that ability to control his brother...
to kill those scientists.
But whywould he kill his colleagues?
That's a question only Dr.
Nollette can answer.
Okay, let's go.
I have to call my brother.
Mulder: We'vegot to fiindNollette.
Scully: Let's talk to campussecurity.
Wego this way?
No, wegoleft.
Well, whereveryou are, Arthur...
I'm sureyou'll appreciate this.
Arthur and Roland Grable.
Born at Puget Presbyterian to Mr.
and Mrs.
Lewis Grable...
onJuly 1 5, 1 952.
Arthurwas four minutes older than Roland.
Identical twins.
Which means they're the result ofa single egg...
fertilized by a single sperm.
I've read studies...
which suggest that, in some cases...
the identical twin arises very early in the embryonic stage...
when a mutation in one cell is rejected by the other cells...
as foreign.
So Roland's condition is the result of...
a damaged chromosome rejected by one ofArthur's cells?
In a way, that would explain Arthur's genius...
and Roland's strange mathematical gift.
In a way.
(phone rings) Agent Scully.
This is Larry Barrington at the Avalon Foundation.
We've got a situation here.
Uh-huh.
Last night, we had a break-in at the facility.
That's right.
It's Arthur Grable's storage unit.
His internalthermostat's been compromised.
Well, is there any tissue damage?
We're trying to assess that now.
The temperature's still rising.
Something's blocking our access to the cooling program.
Someone tampered with Arthur Grable's capsule.
They're attempting to stabilize it now.
Nollette.
What?
What is it?
(alarm ringing) "Ifl have seen further than other men...
it's because I have stood on the shoulders ofgiants."
No.
This isn'tyours.
It's amazing.
There's this body sitting there...
in front ofme talking...
butyou're controlling it, Arthur.
You took mywork.
(snickers) What good was yourwork going to doyou?
You died before you could finish it...
beforeyou could publish it.
It was mine!
And a brilliant piece ofwork too.
When I saw the writing on the white board...
I knew someone had found the key.
Mach 1 5 was within our reach.
Our futures were guaranteed.
Ironic, isn't it?
You did all the work...
and I get all the glory.
No!
Yes.
Yes, Arthur.
I was here working on the intake problem...
moments away from a solution when you attacked me.
Fortunately, I was carrying a gun.
After the murder ofmy colleagues, who could blame me?
No.
Oh, that's interesting.
(laughs:) I've got it.
That's it.
I've got it!
(groans) Arthur!
Arthur, open the door!
Arthur!
Arthur, how doyou stop this?!
Tell me how!
Arthur!
Wait!
Roland, we need you to help us.
Please, we need you to help us...
to stop the machine.
(child crying) Try to remember how.
Roland, you've got to help him or he'll die.
Wave good-bye, Arthur.
(screaming) Mulder: Come on, Roland.
Roland: I can't remember...
(yells) Scully: He'll be held in...
psychiatric custody for evaluation.
Is he being charged with a crime?
The D.A.
hasn't made that determination yet.
But we've recommended that he be remanded toyour custody...
as soon as the court deems it appropriate.
How could this happen?
Roland never exhibited anyviolent tendencies.
It's my beliefthat he wasn't acting under his own volition.
What doyou mean?
This is the work ofArthur Grable, Roland's brother.
It's a new theory ofjet propulsion...
unfinished at the time ofhis death.
In the last two weeks Roland has...
completed the calculations.
How?
We're not sure, Mrs.
Stodie.
All we know is that Roland...
was somehow able to finish his brother's research.
Roland?
Where areyou going?
Roland, don't go.
I have to.
Okay.
Bye.
Tracy...
wait.
Keep my stars.
I loveyou.
Me too.
