Programa de TV: The X-Files - 6x13
[ Woman ] Evan!
Evan!
Where are you?
Evan!
Evan!
Evan!
Evan, hurry, please!
Nothing's coming out!
[ Man On Radio ] Again, our lead story.
Tropical storm Leroy has been upgraded to Hurricane Leroy.
The entire Gulf Coast-- Damn it.
[ Water Gurgling ] Mom, is Dad gonna be all right?
Mom!
What about Dad?
Mom, what about Dad?
We need water, Evan, right now!
Mom!
-Just do as I say, Evan!
Come help me.
Help me pull the washer out.
Please, Evan,just help me.
Mom, Reggie's back here.
Evan, let the cat alone.
Okay, unplug the machine, honey.
Unplug the machine.
Pull that hose out of the wall.
I'm gonna pull.
I need you to get behind the machine and push.
All right, I'm gonna pull.
I want you to push.
We're gonna tip the washing machine over.
We need to dump the water out.
All right, honey, push!
[ Grunts ] Push!
Push, Evan!
-[ Washing Machine Slams Down ] Push, Evan!
Are you pushing?
Evan!
Evan, answer me!
Evan?
[ Grunts ] Mom!
Mom!
Evan?
Let him go!
Let go of him!
[ Sobbing ] Let go of him!
Let him go!
Oh, God.
Let him go!
[ Screams ] [ Grunting, Screaming ] [ Grunting, Screaming ] -[ Phone Rings ] -[ On Tape ] Hi, this is Fox Mulder.
Leave me a message after the beep.
-[ Machine Beeps ] Agent Mulder, this is Arthur Dales calling from Florida.
I don't know if you're watching the news.
We're in for a hell of a blow...
in the next 1 2 to 2 4.
I've been through hurricanes.
Been through the alphabet.
But I just got a distress call from my neighbor down the road...
to set my teeth on edge.
You don't have much time to get to the airport, but if you're the X-Files man you say you are, you'd better get your butt in gear.
[ Woman On Radio ] An emergency response team is advising residents...
to stay off the roads and either wait out the storm in a secure location...
or proceed to a county emergency shelter.
Hurricane Leroy remains some 20 miles off the Gulf Coast, sending high winds and up to six inches of rain...
onto coastal communities.
As of yet, it has unleashed none of its potential heavy destruction...
on a very nervous populace from Naples to Fort Myers.
The National Weather Service predicts Hurricane Leroy will make landfall...
in the next three to four hours.
-We'll be coming back in a few minutes-- -[ Static ] [ Man ] We got no sign of anything amiss at the residence out on the spit.
The place is all boarded up tight.
Over.
[ Man #2 ] Roger that.
Maybe the occupants have evacuated.
Over.
[ Man #1 ] Well, that would be the Shipleys, but a neighbor says they couldn't have gone far without their only vehicle...
which is still in the carport out here.
Over.
[ Man #2 ] Well, that sounds like a real mystery, don't it?
It sure does, you dumb fathead!
[ Wind Howling ] Well, it couldn't be that all the planes out were fully loaded, huh?
Mr.
Dales, there's a reason that people don't head out into hurricanes.
Yeah, the hurricane's 20 miles offshore.
Mr.
Dales, can we come in?
Come in!
Who's this?
Special Agent Dana Scully.
Scully?
She's my partner.
Don't get too comfortable.
You're gonna want to get right back out there.
Out where?
Did you tell her what I told you?
Yes, but she's-- she's not the type that's easily persuaded.
Is that so?
What he means is I don't hear a story about a sea monster...
and automatically assume it's the Lord's gospel truth.
Why did you bring her here?
She knows your reputation, your early work on the X-Files.
And she has a knack for getting to the bottom of things.
Apparently, so does Mr.
Dales.
It's a good thing I have a reputation, otherwise how could it be impugned?
Look, Mr.
Dales, I'm sure that there is good reason for your alarm.
I listened to the message that you left for Agent Mulder about your friends.
Shipleys, a young couple with their son.
Lives out on the end of the sandspit.
Sara called me in a panic.
She said that some thing in the house...
had grabbed Jack, her husband.
In the bathroom, you said?
Yeah, of all places.
It was your description that caused Agent Scully's...
dubiousness.
No, not my description.
No, that was Sara's.
She said...
that it had tentacles...
wrapped around her husband's neck and choking him.
And you have no reason to doubt Ms.
Shipley's report?
No, both she andJack are marine biologists.
Or at least they were.
I fear the worst.
She's missing too?
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
I got on the horn to the local constabulary, but they're about as helpful as a fart in a windstorm.
I would have gone out there myself but for my bad hip.
It's not a night that anybody should be out in.
I don't see that there's a choice.
If anyone wants to get to the bottom of all this.
What is it that brought you out here in the first place, Mr.
Dales?
I came down for the weather.
Don't sneer at the mysteries of the deep,young lady.
The bottom of the ocean...
is as deep and dark...
as the imagination.
[ Loud Banging ] Hello?
Mrs.
Shipley?
It looks like they had the time and the presence of mind...
to prepare for the hurricane.
Had the place all boarded up.
It's from the inside.
It makes you wonder how they got out.
Hello?
Mrs.
Shipley?
Mulder?
No sign of life.
There's, uh, something on the drainpipe.
I can't get it off.
I don't know if I'm gonna need my gun or a harpoon here.
[ Screeching ] Whoa!
How the hell did the cat get in the washing machine?
Maybe he was taking a dip after he finished boarding up the windows.
What do you think this leads to?
To the bathroom.
Dales told me the wife told him that the husband...
was grabbed from the bathroom.
Mrs.
Shipley?
Can you give me a hand with this?
Well, howdy do.
Yeah, right like that.
Keep your hands up there where I can see 'em.
Who are you, and what the hell do you think you're doing?
[ Both Muttering ] Yeah, nice and slow.
You can put the gun down.
We're F.B.I.
Don't all the nuts roll downhill to Florida?
Sir, we're Agents Scully and Mulder.
I can show you my badge-- This is Deputy Greer.
I'm out at the Sandspit Road.
I've got two suspects over at the Shipley residence. "
"B'' and ""E,'' possible foul play.
We're out here like you.
-[ On Radio ] No backup units available.
-Roger that.
I'm putting you under arrest.
We're looking for the Shipleys too.
You have the right to remain silent.
Arthur Dales called us.
Anything you say can be used against you.
You have a right to a lawyer.
If you don't have one-- Does that name mean anything to you?
I know Dales.
All right.
I got a call from him too.
Drunk as a skunk.
What's new?
What else would we be doing out here on a night like this?
You could be looters.
For all I know, you could be part of the Manson family.
[ Meowing ] Oh, no.
You're gonna kill me.
No, I'm not, but I'd like to.
Deputy?
It's the F.B.I., for real?
I'll be in the car.
I gotta at least make out a report.
No, no.
Not before you help me finish what you interrupted.
Yes, sir.
May I have my gun, please?
Thank you.
Come on.
Yeah.
No, thank you.
No one in the bathroom.
The deputy helped me pull off the plywood.
There's no sign of anything, except more of that slime in the bathtub...
and maybe three inches of water on the floor.
It's like somebody left the taps running before they boarded up the door.
Great.
They're threatening to close the airport.
We'd better get out of here.
Aren't you even curious what happened to these people?
Yes, I'm curious, Mulder, but I'm also suspicious.
I-I think that Mr.
Dales's story is fueled by more than his imagination...
and not much deeper than the bottom of a highball.
Don't dismiss him so easily.
He discovered the X-Files 40 years ago.
He's seen things that I've only read about.
Because sea monsters can only be read about.
Because they don't exist.
If the sea is where life began, where our ancestors first walked ashore, then who's to say what new life may be developing...
in its uncharted depths?
You know what?
Maybe you are a member of the Manson family.
Mulder, look.
There is nothing more for us to do here.
There's nothing that local law enforcement can't do for us.
These people are missing, there's nowhere else to look.
I've done my duty for Mr.
Dales, for my conscience.
I mean, haven't you?
Well, we should at least tell him we're giving up.
Shouldn't we?
Sea monsters.
F.B.I.
agents.
I'm the one who could use a drink.
[ Siren Wailing ] Howdy do, folks.
You're gonna have to turn around, find someplace dry to spend the night.
What's the problem?
The road's washed out up ahead.
This is an emergency.
I understand, ma'am.
But unless your car has wings, there's no gettin' through on this road.
What about the airport?
Is there an alternate route?
Airport?
Not tonight.
This hurricane's really bearin'down.
We got trees, power lines down all over.
You folks really shouldn't be out here.
I want you to drive to the first safe place you can find, understand?
Sir, it's important that we evacuate the area.
We're F.B.I.
agents.
We need to get to where we're going.
Don't all the nuts roll downhill to Florida?
I'll be happy to show you my I.D.
Thank you, sir.
I appreciate the concern.
Mulder!
That was one ""howdy do'' over the line.
[ Woman On Radio ] Car 54, please report back to base.
Yeah, this is car 54.
I'm over at Nance Road.
Over.
We're askin'all mobile units to stay off the roads...
due to extreme weather conditions for the next three to four hours, includin'a flash flood warning now in effect for Collier County.
Over.
1 0-4.
Gonna make a quick stop in at the Breakers Condo complex.
Looks like some folks are stranded without power.
Over.
Deputy Greer, County Sheriff!.
-If you're home, please answer the door!
-[ Knocking ] If you can hear me, but you can't answer the door, call 9-1 -1 , tell 'em you need help.
Hello!
Deputy Greer, County Sheriff!.
-[ Knocking ] If you're home, answer the door!
If you can hear me, but can't answer the door, call 9-1 -1 , tell 'em you need help!
Hello?
-[ Hinges Creaking ] Hello.
Is somebody here?
[ Sloshing Sound ] Sir?
Ma'am?
My God.
[ Screaming ] [ Grunting, Gasping ] [ Grunting Continues ] Hello?
The good thing about zero visibility?
It can't get any worse.
Is this the Collier County Sheriff?.
Yes.
No, hi.
We're-- We're driving on, uh-- Nance Road.
N-A-N-C-E Road.
Nance Road.
No, it isn't very smart, is it?
No-- Yes, that would be much appreciated.
He's going to guide us to the nearest emergency shelter.
Not a moment too soon.
Hello?
Hello-- No service.
You know, Scully, someday...
we're gonna look back on this and we're gonna laugh.
Just think of it as man pitted against the forces of nature.
Think of it as a test of our mettle.
I don't need my mettle tested.
[ Clattering ] What was that?
I think that was a tree branch.
The debris is starting to fly.
Mulder, we have to pull over.
We have to wait out this storm somewhere away from the trees.
We're not gonna dodge trees in a parked car.
If we're driving, we're a moving target.
We don't know where we are, and we don't know where we're going.
There's somebody I think is about to give us directions.
Who says there's never a cop when you need one?
Mulder, isn't that-- Forrest Gump.
Deputy?
Hello!
Anybody-- Mulder, he's in here.
Can you talk to me?
[ Gasping ] You having trouble breathing?
This man needs a trach, or he's going to die real soon.
I've heard of passing the time.
Ouch.
Okay.
All right, I need you to hold his head real steady.
Deputy,just try and relax.
Okay.
Here we go.
Looks like he was attacked or stung.
What are those?
I don't know, but he's...
having a reaction which is affecting his autonomic response.
Whatever it was, I think it came through the plumbing, the toilet.
All I know is we have to get a medevac unit out here as soon as possible.
If it's in the plumbing, I gotta make sure nobody else is in this building.
This is Special Agent Dana Scully with the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
I need a medevac unit out here A.S.A.P.
I have an officer in need of emergency medical assistance.
[ Woman ] Please state your name again, ma'am.
Dana Scully.
I'm a medical doctor.
Scully!
Requesting a medevac unit for a sheriff''s deputy who is injured.
[ Woman ] You have a deputy down?
[ Scully ] I have a deputy who's been attacked by something unidentified.
Unidentified?
My ass.
-[ Woman ] What is his condition?
[ Scully ] His vitals are weak and he's in shock.
I need him taken to a hospital right away.
Excuse me, sir.
Is everything okay in your apartment?
Uh, yeah, yeah.
It's all good.
You need some help...
with your television?
-[ Door Hinges Creaking ] I thought I heard voices.
Thank God.
We didn't think anybody was coming.
Are you the doctors?
No.
Do you need medical help?
Yeah.
We called 9-1 -1 , but no one came.
Everyone else is already evacuated, but we don't have a car.
Then the phone died.
Who's ""we''?
Who are you talking about?
Uh, my-my wife and I.
She's pregnant, a week past her due date.
My God.
I hope one of you has a car.
You don't know this man, Mr.-- Uh, Suarez.
Walter Suarez.
Uh, no.
He's not with you?
I'll put it back.
Yeah.
Everything in your pockets too.
She's right over here.
Right this way.
Angela, this is Mr., um-- Mulder.
Stay there, Mrs.
Suarez.
We're gonna make sure your baby makes it safely into the world.
Thank you, but I'm not in labor.
And my name is not Suarez.
It's Villareal.
He tells people I'm his wife, like he's so macho.
Uh, Walter, Angela, I'm gonna have to ask you to come downstairs with me.
Why, you got a car?
Oh, Walter here doesn't have a car, not to mention a job.
Right now I just want to get you someplace where I know you'll be safe.
From what?
I don't know.
But whatever it is, it may have seriously injured a sheriff's deputy.
Who?
Where?
In the manager's apartment.
It could be in the plumbing right now.
In the plumbing?
Oh, that's great.
I have to go to the bathroom about every ten seconds.
-[ Door Closes ] Kid's gonna be a fighter.
Anybody else in the complex that you know about?
No one.
Oh, there's George.
George?
Yeah, George Vincent.
He lives on the first floor.
I went and asked him for help, but he just yells, ""Go away!'' He never listens to no one.
He's gonna wanna listen to me.
-[ Angela ] Walter!
Better go.
That's for you.
Mr.
Vincent!
George Vincent.
Quit bangin' on the damn door!
I'm a federal agent.
I'm asking you to open the door.
Ask away, then go away!
Mr.
Vincent, your life may be in danger if you refuse to leave your apartment.
You may be in danger if you refuse to quit harassing me!
I'm armed, and I'm within my rights.
That's great.
But you may not be armed for what it is I'm talking about.
What the hell are you talkin' about, hmm?
It don't matter.
I'm armed against it.
The junta, Cuba and Castro.
I'm not gonna cede my home to no revolutionaries without a fight.
You got anything else you want to throw at me?
Bring it on.
All the nuts roll down to Florida.
He's had some kind of foreign organism released into his body.
His condition's worsening.
I can see that.
What the hell was chewing on his neck?
I don't know.
It may have been some kind of a waterborne parasite.
You see that?
You see what happens when you live in a dump?
Where's Harry?
I'm sorry.
I don't know who Harry is.
The slumlord who owns this place.
He may have evacuated.
Harry?
Right.
And I'm giving birth to the Christ child.
Harry's legs hardly work.
He's gotta use those crutches.
He don't have no car.
Nobody likes him 'cause he never lifts a finger on this rat trap.
-Scully, can I talk to you for a second?
-Yeah.
Now, who are you?
Nobody.
Nobody?
It is so nice to be surrounded by so many great men.
We gotta get out of here soon.
We can't.
We can put the deputy in his car and take him to the hospital.
I just got off the radio.
They won't even chance sending a rescue vehicle at this time.
The roads are impassable, and I don't even know if the deputy is movable.
You mean we're stuck here?
It looks that way.
At least until the weather breaks.
Federal agents!
Federal fascists!
Better not tramp on the rights of the common man.
No need for them.
Sure.
Violence in pursuit of freedom is no vice.
I don't think these wounds are bites or stings.
There's something in here, Mulder, right under the skin.
Tongs.
Mulder, what's his temperature?
Either he's got no temperature, or he's about to spontaneously combust.
You're not far off.
It's 1 06.
Okay, somebody fill the tub with cold water...
and find as much ice as they can in the freezer.
But that thing is in the plumbing.
Unless we get his temperature down, he's not gonna survive this.
Now, get moving.
[ Groaning ] I need a container.
Mulder, lift him up.
We have to get him into the tub.
[ Pipes Groaning ] -[ Gunshot ] -[ Man Yells ] [ Gunshots ] -[ Gunshots Continues ] Mr.
Vincent?
[ Gunshot ] -[ Gunshots ] [ Shouting ] [ Whimpering ] Drop your weapon!
Put it down!
It's gonna take a whole lot more than this to kill whatever it is I just saw.
I don't know what the hell it was, but it came down out of there.
You didn't see it?
I caught it out of the corner of my eye, but it swooped down at me.
All that happened here is a sewage pipe burst.
No, this thing came at me.
That looks like the four-inch tie-in to the second floor.
Whatever it is didn't just rip through the ceiling.
It went right through the pipe.
Where did it go?
I don't know.
Must still be in the building.
Probably in the outflow system.
Maybe it'll just flow back out.
Maybe it'll come up through the can and grab you by the nugs.
Someone's already got him by the nugs.
Look, whatever this thing is, there's no evidence yet that it's gonna kill anybody.
What about the man in the bathtub?
The man in the bathtub may very well be saved if he can last out this storm.
In fact, we may all be safe if we just remain calm.
Remain calm?
I gotta pee so bad, my back teeth are swimming.
[ Grunts ] Victory.
How is he?
He-He's good.
[ Grunting ] Super tanker coming through.
Angela, you can't go in there.
My bladder is pressing against your unborn child, Walter.
He's gonna have a head like a tortilla.
This thing is in the plumbing!
The volume alone could push it right back out to sea.
Scully, that's how this thing is here.
The hurricane is sitting offshore dredging up God knows what.
This thing must have been driven into the city's reclamation system...
through some offshore outfall pipe.
From there it gained access to the sewer pipes in this building.
We'll be waiting for you out here.
Thank you!
[ Scully ] Mulder, nothing here convinces me-- [ Scully ] Mulder, nothing here convinces me-- I know you probably can't hear me, but no listening anyway, okay?
Scully, something welled up out of the uncharted depths of the ocean, something that has been lying there undiscovered for ages probably.
There is no evidence of any creature here.
Those organisms might just simply be waterborne parasites.
But something from Jules Verne they are not.
[ Screaming ] I saw it!
I saw it!
It's in the tub with the deputy.
It has giant arms like an octopus.
Mulder?
What the hell is it?
He's gone.
It's gone?
No.
He's gone.
The deputy.
-Where did he go?
-The deputy went out with the bathwater.
You mean he was in there with it?
No, I don't think he was.
She said she saw it.
I'm sure she did.
Look, Scully.
I think I know why nobody's ever seen this thing before.
It just doesn't live in water.
It is water, taking shape when it attacks, like it did when the hurricane backed seawater into the plumbing, virtually unseeable until then.
Mulder, if that were true, then this wouldn't be visible, would it?
I mean, what this is showing us is that water actually attempts to kill it.
Maybe you just impeded its reproductive process.
It needs time to complete its cycle, like it had with the Shipleys.
The Shipleys weren't even in their house.
They were when they were attacked, just like the deputy was here.
Using their bodies to lay its own spawn.
Using the body's water content to reproduce itself, to make itself anew.
He turned into one of those things?
They're more of them?
We gotta get out of here.
We're in the middle of a hurricane.
We gotta get to another building.
We can't.
There's no way we can transport everybody.
Use the deputy's prowler.
How many people?
We got two, four-- Son of a bitch.
The looter?
-[ Scully ] Mulder?
Yeah?
Mulder, if we're gonna leave, we should leave now.
Mulder?
Hey, Mulder, are you okay?
Hey, wait a second.
What are you doing?
I am saving our lives.
That's my partner out there!
He should have listened to you.
You can't leave him there!
I'm not letting him in here.
He's gonna die!
What are you gonna do for him?
I can at least keep him breathing.
You couldn't save the deputy.
Let me try.
I'm a medical doctor.
That's good, because my waterjust broke.
[ Sloshing Sound ] You're going to be okay.
[ Grunts ] Yeah, that's easy for you to say.
Isn't much of a choice, really, is it?
We're gonna need water.
If I'm gonna deliver this baby, you can put that gun down.
How do we know you're really a doctor?
You don't.
The truth is, I've never delivered a baby before, so stand back or make yourself useful, but stay out of my way.
[ Screaming ] Long, even breaths.
You got it.
Breathe.
Breathe.
Okay, Angela, I'm gonna need you to push, okay?
I need you to help me help you.
Okay, so let's push.
-[ Angela Screaming ] [ Screaming Continues ] You got it.
You got it.
You're on the right track.
I need some towels, please.
I need some towels, damn it.
[ Angela Panting ] You're doing good.
You're doing good.
Okay.
You're doing good.
Okay.
Let's go.
Okay, push!
[ Screaming ] [ Cat Meowing ] [ Gasping ] [ Wheezing ] [ Angela Panting ] I can feel it up there!
She can feel it up there!
Yeah, okay.
Come on.
Push!
Good.
You got it.
Okay.
Here it comes.
Here it comes!
Here it comes.
It's coming!
Okay.
Hey, lady, what are you doing?
It's the water.
What?
It's the water!
I'm having it!
I'm having it!
I'm having it!
Okay!
Okay!
I'm having it!
Push!
I'm having it!
[ Screaming ] Hurry.
Push.
Push!
[ Screaming ] Okay!
[ Screaming ] Okay, pick up the gun.
-[ George Screams ] Pick up the gun!
Shoot out the sprinklers!Just point and shoot!
Shoot out the sprinkler!
[ Gasping ] [ Screams ] [ Gunshot ] My name is Dana Scully.
Yes.
Thank you.
Yes.
Ew, God.
That's terrible.
[ Chuckling ] Well, it's official.
Ten pounds, ten ounces of piss and vinegar.
El nino grande.
Leroy Walter Villareal Suarez,Jr.
Oh, no.
Oh, yes.
Oh, it's amazing.
It's truly amazing.
What's that?
That you could come here in the face of a hurricane, chasing a sea monster yet, and end up bringing a new life into the world.
And then slaying the monster...
and save this one's life...
as he was quite literally circling down the drain.
She didn't save my life, really.
Oh,yes, she did.
Yes.
With a gun to her head, no less.
Well, you wouldn't have known to go out in the rain...
if I hadn't pointed it out to you, and it was the fresh water that killed the organism.
I saw the Shipleys' cat.
I can't swallow that.
No, I saw the cat which had been saved, which had been in the washing machine.
The Shipleys had boarded up their house, which means the only way they could have vanished was if the creature came up...
through the plumbing in a backwash of seawater.
Seawater, and then the deputy...
who vanished from a bathtub full of Epsom Salts.
If Agent Scully had not been there with you, I shudder to think what would have happened to you.
I'd say you owe her your life.
It takes a big man to admit this, but...
if I had had someone...
as savvy as her by my side...
all those years ago in the X-Files, I might not have retired.
I suggest that we have a toast to your good fortune.
And I insist that we have it.
So what'll it be?
[ Muttering ] Oh, uh, anyone for water?
[ Both ] No!
[ Child ] I made this!
[ Child ] I made this!
Evan!
Where are you?
Evan!
Evan!
Evan!
Evan, hurry, please!
Nothing's coming out!
[ Man On Radio ] Again, our lead story.
Tropical storm Leroy has been upgraded to Hurricane Leroy.
The entire Gulf Coast-- Damn it.
[ Water Gurgling ] Mom, is Dad gonna be all right?
Mom!
What about Dad?
Mom, what about Dad?
We need water, Evan, right now!
Mom!
-Just do as I say, Evan!
Come help me.
Help me pull the washer out.
Please, Evan,just help me.
Mom, Reggie's back here.
Evan, let the cat alone.
Okay, unplug the machine, honey.
Unplug the machine.
Pull that hose out of the wall.
I'm gonna pull.
I need you to get behind the machine and push.
All right, I'm gonna pull.
I want you to push.
We're gonna tip the washing machine over.
We need to dump the water out.
All right, honey, push!
[ Grunts ] Push!
Push, Evan!
-[ Washing Machine Slams Down ] Push, Evan!
Are you pushing?
Evan!
Evan, answer me!
Evan?
[ Grunts ] Mom!
Mom!
Evan?
Let him go!
Let go of him!
[ Sobbing ] Let go of him!
Let him go!
Oh, God.
Let him go!
[ Screams ] [ Grunting, Screaming ] [ Grunting, Screaming ] -[ Phone Rings ] -[ On Tape ] Hi, this is Fox Mulder.
Leave me a message after the beep.
-[ Machine Beeps ] Agent Mulder, this is Arthur Dales calling from Florida.
I don't know if you're watching the news.
We're in for a hell of a blow...
in the next 1 2 to 2 4.
I've been through hurricanes.
Been through the alphabet.
But I just got a distress call from my neighbor down the road...
to set my teeth on edge.
You don't have much time to get to the airport, but if you're the X-Files man you say you are, you'd better get your butt in gear.
[ Woman On Radio ] An emergency response team is advising residents...
to stay off the roads and either wait out the storm in a secure location...
or proceed to a county emergency shelter.
Hurricane Leroy remains some 20 miles off the Gulf Coast, sending high winds and up to six inches of rain...
onto coastal communities.
As of yet, it has unleashed none of its potential heavy destruction...
on a very nervous populace from Naples to Fort Myers.
The National Weather Service predicts Hurricane Leroy will make landfall...
in the next three to four hours.
-We'll be coming back in a few minutes-- -[ Static ] [ Man ] We got no sign of anything amiss at the residence out on the spit.
The place is all boarded up tight.
Over.
[ Man #2 ] Roger that.
Maybe the occupants have evacuated.
Over.
[ Man #1 ] Well, that would be the Shipleys, but a neighbor says they couldn't have gone far without their only vehicle...
which is still in the carport out here.
Over.
[ Man #2 ] Well, that sounds like a real mystery, don't it?
It sure does, you dumb fathead!
[ Wind Howling ] Well, it couldn't be that all the planes out were fully loaded, huh?
Mr.
Dales, there's a reason that people don't head out into hurricanes.
Yeah, the hurricane's 20 miles offshore.
Mr.
Dales, can we come in?
Come in!
Who's this?
Special Agent Dana Scully.
Scully?
She's my partner.
Don't get too comfortable.
You're gonna want to get right back out there.
Out where?
Did you tell her what I told you?
Yes, but she's-- she's not the type that's easily persuaded.
Is that so?
What he means is I don't hear a story about a sea monster...
and automatically assume it's the Lord's gospel truth.
Why did you bring her here?
She knows your reputation, your early work on the X-Files.
And she has a knack for getting to the bottom of things.
Apparently, so does Mr.
Dales.
It's a good thing I have a reputation, otherwise how could it be impugned?
Look, Mr.
Dales, I'm sure that there is good reason for your alarm.
I listened to the message that you left for Agent Mulder about your friends.
Shipleys, a young couple with their son.
Lives out on the end of the sandspit.
Sara called me in a panic.
She said that some thing in the house...
had grabbed Jack, her husband.
In the bathroom, you said?
Yeah, of all places.
It was your description that caused Agent Scully's...
dubiousness.
No, not my description.
No, that was Sara's.
She said...
that it had tentacles...
wrapped around her husband's neck and choking him.
And you have no reason to doubt Ms.
Shipley's report?
No, both she andJack are marine biologists.
Or at least they were.
I fear the worst.
She's missing too?
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
I got on the horn to the local constabulary, but they're about as helpful as a fart in a windstorm.
I would have gone out there myself but for my bad hip.
It's not a night that anybody should be out in.
I don't see that there's a choice.
If anyone wants to get to the bottom of all this.
What is it that brought you out here in the first place, Mr.
Dales?
I came down for the weather.
Don't sneer at the mysteries of the deep,young lady.
The bottom of the ocean...
is as deep and dark...
as the imagination.
[ Loud Banging ] Hello?
Mrs.
Shipley?
It looks like they had the time and the presence of mind...
to prepare for the hurricane.
Had the place all boarded up.
It's from the inside.
It makes you wonder how they got out.
Hello?
Mrs.
Shipley?
Mulder?
No sign of life.
There's, uh, something on the drainpipe.
I can't get it off.
I don't know if I'm gonna need my gun or a harpoon here.
[ Screeching ] Whoa!
How the hell did the cat get in the washing machine?
Maybe he was taking a dip after he finished boarding up the windows.
What do you think this leads to?
To the bathroom.
Dales told me the wife told him that the husband...
was grabbed from the bathroom.
Mrs.
Shipley?
Can you give me a hand with this?
Well, howdy do.
Yeah, right like that.
Keep your hands up there where I can see 'em.
Who are you, and what the hell do you think you're doing?
[ Both Muttering ] Yeah, nice and slow.
You can put the gun down.
We're F.B.I.
Don't all the nuts roll downhill to Florida?
Sir, we're Agents Scully and Mulder.
I can show you my badge-- This is Deputy Greer.
I'm out at the Sandspit Road.
I've got two suspects over at the Shipley residence. "
"B'' and ""E,'' possible foul play.
We're out here like you.
-[ On Radio ] No backup units available.
-Roger that.
I'm putting you under arrest.
We're looking for the Shipleys too.
You have the right to remain silent.
Arthur Dales called us.
Anything you say can be used against you.
You have a right to a lawyer.
If you don't have one-- Does that name mean anything to you?
I know Dales.
All right.
I got a call from him too.
Drunk as a skunk.
What's new?
What else would we be doing out here on a night like this?
You could be looters.
For all I know, you could be part of the Manson family.
[ Meowing ] Oh, no.
You're gonna kill me.
No, I'm not, but I'd like to.
Deputy?
It's the F.B.I., for real?
I'll be in the car.
I gotta at least make out a report.
No, no.
Not before you help me finish what you interrupted.
Yes, sir.
May I have my gun, please?
Thank you.
Come on.
Yeah.
No, thank you.
No one in the bathroom.
The deputy helped me pull off the plywood.
There's no sign of anything, except more of that slime in the bathtub...
and maybe three inches of water on the floor.
It's like somebody left the taps running before they boarded up the door.
Great.
They're threatening to close the airport.
We'd better get out of here.
Aren't you even curious what happened to these people?
Yes, I'm curious, Mulder, but I'm also suspicious.
I-I think that Mr.
Dales's story is fueled by more than his imagination...
and not much deeper than the bottom of a highball.
Don't dismiss him so easily.
He discovered the X-Files 40 years ago.
He's seen things that I've only read about.
Because sea monsters can only be read about.
Because they don't exist.
If the sea is where life began, where our ancestors first walked ashore, then who's to say what new life may be developing...
in its uncharted depths?
You know what?
Maybe you are a member of the Manson family.
Mulder, look.
There is nothing more for us to do here.
There's nothing that local law enforcement can't do for us.
These people are missing, there's nowhere else to look.
I've done my duty for Mr.
Dales, for my conscience.
I mean, haven't you?
Well, we should at least tell him we're giving up.
Shouldn't we?
Sea monsters.
F.B.I.
agents.
I'm the one who could use a drink.
[ Siren Wailing ] Howdy do, folks.
You're gonna have to turn around, find someplace dry to spend the night.
What's the problem?
The road's washed out up ahead.
This is an emergency.
I understand, ma'am.
But unless your car has wings, there's no gettin' through on this road.
What about the airport?
Is there an alternate route?
Airport?
Not tonight.
This hurricane's really bearin'down.
We got trees, power lines down all over.
You folks really shouldn't be out here.
I want you to drive to the first safe place you can find, understand?
Sir, it's important that we evacuate the area.
We're F.B.I.
agents.
We need to get to where we're going.
Don't all the nuts roll downhill to Florida?
I'll be happy to show you my I.D.
Thank you, sir.
I appreciate the concern.
Mulder!
That was one ""howdy do'' over the line.
[ Woman On Radio ] Car 54, please report back to base.
Yeah, this is car 54.
I'm over at Nance Road.
Over.
We're askin'all mobile units to stay off the roads...
due to extreme weather conditions for the next three to four hours, includin'a flash flood warning now in effect for Collier County.
Over.
1 0-4.
Gonna make a quick stop in at the Breakers Condo complex.
Looks like some folks are stranded without power.
Over.
Deputy Greer, County Sheriff!.
-If you're home, please answer the door!
-[ Knocking ] If you can hear me, but you can't answer the door, call 9-1 -1 , tell 'em you need help.
Hello!
Deputy Greer, County Sheriff!.
-[ Knocking ] If you're home, answer the door!
If you can hear me, but can't answer the door, call 9-1 -1 , tell 'em you need help!
Hello?
-[ Hinges Creaking ] Hello.
Is somebody here?
[ Sloshing Sound ] Sir?
Ma'am?
My God.
[ Screaming ] [ Grunting, Gasping ] [ Grunting Continues ] Hello?
The good thing about zero visibility?
It can't get any worse.
Is this the Collier County Sheriff?.
Yes.
No, hi.
We're-- We're driving on, uh-- Nance Road.
N-A-N-C-E Road.
Nance Road.
No, it isn't very smart, is it?
No-- Yes, that would be much appreciated.
He's going to guide us to the nearest emergency shelter.
Not a moment too soon.
Hello?
Hello-- No service.
You know, Scully, someday...
we're gonna look back on this and we're gonna laugh.
Just think of it as man pitted against the forces of nature.
Think of it as a test of our mettle.
I don't need my mettle tested.
[ Clattering ] What was that?
I think that was a tree branch.
The debris is starting to fly.
Mulder, we have to pull over.
We have to wait out this storm somewhere away from the trees.
We're not gonna dodge trees in a parked car.
If we're driving, we're a moving target.
We don't know where we are, and we don't know where we're going.
There's somebody I think is about to give us directions.
Who says there's never a cop when you need one?
Mulder, isn't that-- Forrest Gump.
Deputy?
Hello!
Anybody-- Mulder, he's in here.
Can you talk to me?
[ Gasping ] You having trouble breathing?
This man needs a trach, or he's going to die real soon.
I've heard of passing the time.
Ouch.
Okay.
All right, I need you to hold his head real steady.
Deputy,just try and relax.
Okay.
Here we go.
Looks like he was attacked or stung.
What are those?
I don't know, but he's...
having a reaction which is affecting his autonomic response.
Whatever it was, I think it came through the plumbing, the toilet.
All I know is we have to get a medevac unit out here as soon as possible.
If it's in the plumbing, I gotta make sure nobody else is in this building.
This is Special Agent Dana Scully with the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
I need a medevac unit out here A.S.A.P.
I have an officer in need of emergency medical assistance.
[ Woman ] Please state your name again, ma'am.
Dana Scully.
I'm a medical doctor.
Scully!
Requesting a medevac unit for a sheriff''s deputy who is injured.
[ Woman ] You have a deputy down?
[ Scully ] I have a deputy who's been attacked by something unidentified.
Unidentified?
My ass.
-[ Woman ] What is his condition?
[ Scully ] His vitals are weak and he's in shock.
I need him taken to a hospital right away.
Excuse me, sir.
Is everything okay in your apartment?
Uh, yeah, yeah.
It's all good.
You need some help...
with your television?
-[ Door Hinges Creaking ] I thought I heard voices.
Thank God.
We didn't think anybody was coming.
Are you the doctors?
No.
Do you need medical help?
Yeah.
We called 9-1 -1 , but no one came.
Everyone else is already evacuated, but we don't have a car.
Then the phone died.
Who's ""we''?
Who are you talking about?
Uh, my-my wife and I.
She's pregnant, a week past her due date.
My God.
I hope one of you has a car.
You don't know this man, Mr.-- Uh, Suarez.
Walter Suarez.
Uh, no.
He's not with you?
I'll put it back.
Yeah.
Everything in your pockets too.
She's right over here.
Right this way.
Angela, this is Mr., um-- Mulder.
Stay there, Mrs.
Suarez.
We're gonna make sure your baby makes it safely into the world.
Thank you, but I'm not in labor.
And my name is not Suarez.
It's Villareal.
He tells people I'm his wife, like he's so macho.
Uh, Walter, Angela, I'm gonna have to ask you to come downstairs with me.
Why, you got a car?
Oh, Walter here doesn't have a car, not to mention a job.
Right now I just want to get you someplace where I know you'll be safe.
From what?
I don't know.
But whatever it is, it may have seriously injured a sheriff's deputy.
Who?
Where?
In the manager's apartment.
It could be in the plumbing right now.
In the plumbing?
Oh, that's great.
I have to go to the bathroom about every ten seconds.
-[ Door Closes ] Kid's gonna be a fighter.
Anybody else in the complex that you know about?
No one.
Oh, there's George.
George?
Yeah, George Vincent.
He lives on the first floor.
I went and asked him for help, but he just yells, ""Go away!'' He never listens to no one.
He's gonna wanna listen to me.
-[ Angela ] Walter!
Better go.
That's for you.
Mr.
Vincent!
George Vincent.
Quit bangin' on the damn door!
I'm a federal agent.
I'm asking you to open the door.
Ask away, then go away!
Mr.
Vincent, your life may be in danger if you refuse to leave your apartment.
You may be in danger if you refuse to quit harassing me!
I'm armed, and I'm within my rights.
That's great.
But you may not be armed for what it is I'm talking about.
What the hell are you talkin' about, hmm?
It don't matter.
I'm armed against it.
The junta, Cuba and Castro.
I'm not gonna cede my home to no revolutionaries without a fight.
You got anything else you want to throw at me?
Bring it on.
All the nuts roll down to Florida.
He's had some kind of foreign organism released into his body.
His condition's worsening.
I can see that.
What the hell was chewing on his neck?
I don't know.
It may have been some kind of a waterborne parasite.
You see that?
You see what happens when you live in a dump?
Where's Harry?
I'm sorry.
I don't know who Harry is.
The slumlord who owns this place.
He may have evacuated.
Harry?
Right.
And I'm giving birth to the Christ child.
Harry's legs hardly work.
He's gotta use those crutches.
He don't have no car.
Nobody likes him 'cause he never lifts a finger on this rat trap.
-Scully, can I talk to you for a second?
-Yeah.
Now, who are you?
Nobody.
Nobody?
It is so nice to be surrounded by so many great men.
We gotta get out of here soon.
We can't.
We can put the deputy in his car and take him to the hospital.
I just got off the radio.
They won't even chance sending a rescue vehicle at this time.
The roads are impassable, and I don't even know if the deputy is movable.
You mean we're stuck here?
It looks that way.
At least until the weather breaks.
Federal agents!
Federal fascists!
Better not tramp on the rights of the common man.
No need for them.
Sure.
Violence in pursuit of freedom is no vice.
I don't think these wounds are bites or stings.
There's something in here, Mulder, right under the skin.
Tongs.
Mulder, what's his temperature?
Either he's got no temperature, or he's about to spontaneously combust.
You're not far off.
It's 1 06.
Okay, somebody fill the tub with cold water...
and find as much ice as they can in the freezer.
But that thing is in the plumbing.
Unless we get his temperature down, he's not gonna survive this.
Now, get moving.
[ Groaning ] I need a container.
Mulder, lift him up.
We have to get him into the tub.
[ Pipes Groaning ] -[ Gunshot ] -[ Man Yells ] [ Gunshots ] -[ Gunshots Continues ] Mr.
Vincent?
[ Gunshot ] -[ Gunshots ] [ Shouting ] [ Whimpering ] Drop your weapon!
Put it down!
It's gonna take a whole lot more than this to kill whatever it is I just saw.
I don't know what the hell it was, but it came down out of there.
You didn't see it?
I caught it out of the corner of my eye, but it swooped down at me.
All that happened here is a sewage pipe burst.
No, this thing came at me.
That looks like the four-inch tie-in to the second floor.
Whatever it is didn't just rip through the ceiling.
It went right through the pipe.
Where did it go?
I don't know.
Must still be in the building.
Probably in the outflow system.
Maybe it'll just flow back out.
Maybe it'll come up through the can and grab you by the nugs.
Someone's already got him by the nugs.
Look, whatever this thing is, there's no evidence yet that it's gonna kill anybody.
What about the man in the bathtub?
The man in the bathtub may very well be saved if he can last out this storm.
In fact, we may all be safe if we just remain calm.
Remain calm?
I gotta pee so bad, my back teeth are swimming.
[ Grunts ] Victory.
How is he?
He-He's good.
[ Grunting ] Super tanker coming through.
Angela, you can't go in there.
My bladder is pressing against your unborn child, Walter.
He's gonna have a head like a tortilla.
This thing is in the plumbing!
The volume alone could push it right back out to sea.
Scully, that's how this thing is here.
The hurricane is sitting offshore dredging up God knows what.
This thing must have been driven into the city's reclamation system...
through some offshore outfall pipe.
From there it gained access to the sewer pipes in this building.
We'll be waiting for you out here.
Thank you!
[ Scully ] Mulder, nothing here convinces me-- [ Scully ] Mulder, nothing here convinces me-- I know you probably can't hear me, but no listening anyway, okay?
Scully, something welled up out of the uncharted depths of the ocean, something that has been lying there undiscovered for ages probably.
There is no evidence of any creature here.
Those organisms might just simply be waterborne parasites.
But something from Jules Verne they are not.
[ Screaming ] I saw it!
I saw it!
It's in the tub with the deputy.
It has giant arms like an octopus.
Mulder?
What the hell is it?
He's gone.
It's gone?
No.
He's gone.
The deputy.
-Where did he go?
-The deputy went out with the bathwater.
You mean he was in there with it?
No, I don't think he was.
She said she saw it.
I'm sure she did.
Look, Scully.
I think I know why nobody's ever seen this thing before.
It just doesn't live in water.
It is water, taking shape when it attacks, like it did when the hurricane backed seawater into the plumbing, virtually unseeable until then.
Mulder, if that were true, then this wouldn't be visible, would it?
I mean, what this is showing us is that water actually attempts to kill it.
Maybe you just impeded its reproductive process.
It needs time to complete its cycle, like it had with the Shipleys.
The Shipleys weren't even in their house.
They were when they were attacked, just like the deputy was here.
Using their bodies to lay its own spawn.
Using the body's water content to reproduce itself, to make itself anew.
He turned into one of those things?
They're more of them?
We gotta get out of here.
We're in the middle of a hurricane.
We gotta get to another building.
We can't.
There's no way we can transport everybody.
Use the deputy's prowler.
How many people?
We got two, four-- Son of a bitch.
The looter?
-[ Scully ] Mulder?
Yeah?
Mulder, if we're gonna leave, we should leave now.
Mulder?
Hey, Mulder, are you okay?
Hey, wait a second.
What are you doing?
I am saving our lives.
That's my partner out there!
He should have listened to you.
You can't leave him there!
I'm not letting him in here.
He's gonna die!
What are you gonna do for him?
I can at least keep him breathing.
You couldn't save the deputy.
Let me try.
I'm a medical doctor.
That's good, because my waterjust broke.
[ Sloshing Sound ] You're going to be okay.
[ Grunts ] Yeah, that's easy for you to say.
Isn't much of a choice, really, is it?
We're gonna need water.
If I'm gonna deliver this baby, you can put that gun down.
How do we know you're really a doctor?
You don't.
The truth is, I've never delivered a baby before, so stand back or make yourself useful, but stay out of my way.
[ Screaming ] Long, even breaths.
You got it.
Breathe.
Breathe.
Okay, Angela, I'm gonna need you to push, okay?
I need you to help me help you.
Okay, so let's push.
-[ Angela Screaming ] [ Screaming Continues ] You got it.
You got it.
You're on the right track.
I need some towels, please.
I need some towels, damn it.
[ Angela Panting ] You're doing good.
You're doing good.
Okay.
You're doing good.
Okay.
Let's go.
Okay, push!
[ Screaming ] [ Cat Meowing ] [ Gasping ] [ Wheezing ] [ Angela Panting ] I can feel it up there!
She can feel it up there!
Yeah, okay.
Come on.
Push!
Good.
You got it.
Okay.
Here it comes.
Here it comes!
Here it comes.
It's coming!
Okay.
Hey, lady, what are you doing?
It's the water.
What?
It's the water!
I'm having it!
I'm having it!
I'm having it!
Okay!
Okay!
I'm having it!
Push!
I'm having it!
[ Screaming ] Hurry.
Push.
Push!
[ Screaming ] Okay!
[ Screaming ] Okay, pick up the gun.
-[ George Screams ] Pick up the gun!
Shoot out the sprinklers!Just point and shoot!
Shoot out the sprinkler!
[ Gasping ] [ Screams ] [ Gunshot ] My name is Dana Scully.
Yes.
Thank you.
Yes.
Ew, God.
That's terrible.
[ Chuckling ] Well, it's official.
Ten pounds, ten ounces of piss and vinegar.
El nino grande.
Leroy Walter Villareal Suarez,Jr.
Oh, no.
Oh, yes.
Oh, it's amazing.
It's truly amazing.
What's that?
That you could come here in the face of a hurricane, chasing a sea monster yet, and end up bringing a new life into the world.
And then slaying the monster...
and save this one's life...
as he was quite literally circling down the drain.
She didn't save my life, really.
Oh,yes, she did.
Yes.
With a gun to her head, no less.
Well, you wouldn't have known to go out in the rain...
if I hadn't pointed it out to you, and it was the fresh water that killed the organism.
I saw the Shipleys' cat.
I can't swallow that.
No, I saw the cat which had been saved, which had been in the washing machine.
The Shipleys had boarded up their house, which means the only way they could have vanished was if the creature came up...
through the plumbing in a backwash of seawater.
Seawater, and then the deputy...
who vanished from a bathtub full of Epsom Salts.
If Agent Scully had not been there with you, I shudder to think what would have happened to you.
I'd say you owe her your life.
It takes a big man to admit this, but...
if I had had someone...
as savvy as her by my side...
all those years ago in the X-Files, I might not have retired.
I suggest that we have a toast to your good fortune.
And I insist that we have it.
So what'll it be?
[ Muttering ] Oh, uh, anyone for water?
[ Both ] No!
[ Child ] I made this!
[ Child ] I made this!
