2
00:01:05,941 --> 00:01:09,111
- Oh, Daddy. Cut it out!
- I knew it was you, Dad.

3
00:01:09,152 --> 00:01:12,865
- Quit picking on your brother. He loves you.
- No, I don't.

4
00:01:12,990 --> 00:01:15,742
- I'm glad you're back home, Dad.
- Not as glad as I am.

5
00:01:15,868 --> 00:01:18,120
Did you see a lot of weird stuff this year?

6
00:01:18,161 --> 00:01:22,708
Yep. It was the weirdest show ever. But your
mother thinks you're getting ready for bed.

7
00:01:22,749 --> 00:01:27,004
If she finds you guys still in the pool,
she's gonna kill me. So come on!

8
00:01:28,046 --> 00:01:31,717
Quit your whinin'.
Come on, or there's no bedtime story.

9
00:01:31,758 --> 00:01:33,760
Out you go. That's it.

10
00:01:51,987 --> 00:01:53,906
What the hell...?

11
00:03:01,181 --> 00:03:04,560
- What happened?
- Nothing you can ascertain from that photo.

12
00:03:04,643 --> 00:03:07,813
He suffered from ichthyosis,
a congenital skin disease...

13
00:03:07,896 --> 00:03:11,316
...characterised by the shedding
of the epidermis as scales.

14
00:03:12,067 --> 00:03:15,654
This shows the entry wound
of the undetermined weapon.

15
00:03:15,737 --> 00:03:20,367
No other injuries were inflicted.
No organs were removed or cannibalised...

16
00:03:20,450 --> 00:03:23,161
...and there's no signs
of sexual molestation.

17
00:03:23,245 --> 00:03:27,166
That's 48 attacks over the last 28 years...

18
00:03:27,249 --> 00:03:30,377
...occurring in every state
in the continental US almost...

19
00:03:30,460 --> 00:03:33,088
...the first in Oregon, the last five in Florida.

20
00:03:33,172 --> 00:03:37,384
Victims range from all different
age groups, races. Both male and female.

21
00:03:37,467 --> 00:03:41,555
The mutilations appear so motiveless
one would suspect a form of ritual...

22
00:03:41,638 --> 00:03:43,682
...yet they adhere to no known cult.

23
00:03:44,016 --> 00:03:48,187
A serial killer would normally escalate
the level of violence of his attacks...

24
00:03:48,270 --> 00:03:51,064
...over such an extended period of time.

25
00:03:51,148 --> 00:03:55,444
So what do you think, Scully?
What are your initial thoughts?

26
00:03:56,945 --> 00:04:01,074
Imagine going through
your whole life looking like this.

27
00:04:09,875 --> 00:04:13,754
The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall not want.

28
00:04:13,837 --> 00:04:17,049
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:

29
00:04:17,132 --> 00:04:20,427
he leadeth me beside the still waters.

30
00:04:20,511 --> 00:04:22,596
He restoreth my soul:

31
00:04:22,679 --> 00:04:27,100
he leadeth me in the paths of
righteousness for his name's sake.

32
00:04:27,184 --> 00:04:30,729
Yea, though I walk through
the valley of the shadow of death...

33
00:04:30,812 --> 00:04:32,856
...I will fear no evil:

34
00:04:32,940 --> 00:04:35,108
for thou art with me;

35
00:04:35,192 --> 00:04:38,737
thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.

36
00:04:39,363 --> 00:04:43,575
Thou preparest a table before me
in the presence of mine enemies:

37
00:04:43,951 --> 00:04:46,453
thou anointest my head with oil;

38
00:04:46,537 --> 00:04:48,956
my cup runneth over.

39
00:04:49,039 --> 00:04:52,876
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me...

40
00:04:53,168 --> 00:04:55,629
...all the days of my life:

41
00:04:55,712 --> 00:04:59,508
and I will dwell in
the house of the Lord forever.

42
00:05:00,092 --> 00:05:04,471
We are gathered here today to mourn
the passing of Jerald Glazebrook...

43
00:05:05,055 --> 00:05:10,602
...beloved husband, father,
friend and entertainer.

44
00:05:11,311 --> 00:05:13,605
We mourn not only the passing...

45
00:05:13,689 --> 00:05:18,193
...of a man who overcame
the obstacles of his earthly incarnation...

46
00:05:18,986 --> 00:05:24,366
...but also the passing of the love
that dwelled within his all-too-human heart.

47
00:05:25,784 --> 00:05:29,246
We mourn the passing of
the admiration and the respect...

48
00:05:29,621 --> 00:05:34,251
...he instilled in all
of his professional colleagues.

49
00:05:35,502 --> 00:05:38,547
We mourn the passing of
the laughter and the enjoyment...

50
00:05:38,630 --> 00:05:41,800
...he brought each audience who saw him.

51
00:05:41,884 --> 00:05:45,387
For although Jerry was
a world-renowned escape artist...

52
00:05:45,470 --> 00:05:49,725
...there is one strongbox
from which none of us can escape.

53
00:05:55,272 --> 00:05:57,232
Help me.

54
00:06:00,235 --> 00:06:02,321
Put him down over there.

55
00:06:18,754 --> 00:06:24,092
Not having known the deceased personally,
I'm in no position to perform a proper eulogy.

56
00:06:24,176 --> 00:06:27,262
I'm sure he was a nice guy,
et cetera, et cetera.

57
00:06:27,346 --> 00:06:30,098
But as an admirer of his work,
I am in a position...

58
00:06:30,182 --> 00:06:32,935
...to perform an impromptu tribute
in his honour.

59
00:06:33,018 --> 00:06:36,355
Namely, ramming this spike into my chest!

60
00:06:39,358 --> 00:06:43,695
- Don't you have any respect?
- I think I hit my left ventricle!

61
00:06:43,779 --> 00:06:45,864
Get back, fascists!

62
00:06:47,407 --> 00:06:49,493
Get him outta here!

63
00:06:54,373 --> 00:06:56,375
I can't wait for the wake.

64
00:06:57,417 --> 00:07:00,879
On his VICAP form,
Jerald Glazebrook was listed as an "artist".

65
00:07:00,963 --> 00:07:04,466
Jerry was an artist.
The best escape artist since Houdini.

66
00:07:04,550 --> 00:07:09,763
He should've been headlining Vegas, but his
condition kept him on the sideshow circuit.

67
00:07:09,847 --> 00:07:14,434
- I didn't realise that sideshows still existed.
- There are two or three still around.

68
00:07:14,518 --> 00:07:18,856
I got the impression that Glazebrook
wasn't the only performer residing here.

69
00:07:19,231 --> 00:07:23,110
The town was founded in the '20s
when some of Barnum & Bailey's troupes...

70
00:07:23,193 --> 00:07:25,404
...came down in the winter off-seasons.

71
00:07:25,696 --> 00:07:28,949
This town's history might help
explain our case's history.

72
00:07:29,032 --> 00:07:32,244
A sideshow performer
would have toured much of the country.

73
00:07:32,327 --> 00:07:36,498
And their isolation from society,
caused by their physical deformities...

74
00:07:36,582 --> 00:07:39,626
...could have built up
pathological resentment...

75
00:07:39,710 --> 00:07:41,295
Now, now, hold on a second.

76
00:07:41,295 --> 00:07:42,087
Now, now, hold on a second.

77
00:07:42,171 --> 00:07:45,132
Around here we refer to them
as "very special people".

78
00:07:45,257 --> 00:07:49,178
They may be different on the outside,
but it's what's inside that counts.

79
00:07:49,261 --> 00:07:50,554
And on the inside...
they're as normal as anybody.

80
00:07:50,554 --> 00:07:52,598
And on the inside...
they're as normal as anybody.

81
00:07:53,891 --> 00:07:55,767
Until arrest, many serial killers...

82
00:07:55,851 --> 00:07:59,813
...are considered by their friends
and family to be quite normal.

83
00:07:59,897 --> 00:08:03,525
If you regard them as normal,
you must consider the possibility...

84
00:08:03,609 --> 00:08:06,653
...that they are capable
of committing these crimes.

85
00:08:06,737 --> 00:08:10,240
It's been my experience
that other people have a harder time...

86
00:08:10,324 --> 00:08:14,077
...accepting these people's deformities
than they do themselves.

87
00:08:14,161 --> 00:08:16,747
Sheriff, uh... what is this?

88
00:08:16,830 --> 00:08:22,044
This design here. It's copyrighted
by Hepcat Helm. Is that a local artist?

89
00:08:22,252 --> 00:08:26,006
A bit too local. His workplace
is right behind my station house.

90
00:08:26,423 --> 00:08:28,926
Do you think that we could meet Hepcat?

91
00:08:31,261 --> 00:08:34,473
# Watch my eyes when you light them up

92
00:08:34,556 --> 00:08:36,767
# Listen to me whine like a heart shook up

93
00:08:36,892 --> 00:08:38,977
Hepcat.

94
00:08:39,436 --> 00:08:40,521
Hepcat!

95
00:08:40,604 --> 00:08:42,648
# I'm in a frenzy

96
00:08:46,777 --> 00:08:50,656
- Who are the rubes?
- These are FBI agents Scully and Mulder.

97
00:08:51,365 --> 00:08:54,701
This is Hepcat Helm.
He operates a carnival fun house.

98
00:08:54,785 --> 00:08:58,455
Oh, man! How many times
have I told you not to call it that?

99
00:08:59,498 --> 00:09:03,919
It's not some rinky-dink carny ride.
People go through it, they don't have fun.

100
00:09:04,002 --> 00:09:07,840
They get the hell scared out of 'em.
It's not a fun house.

101
00:09:07,923 --> 00:09:10,884
- It's a tabernacle of terror.
- It's a fun house.

102
00:09:11,218 --> 00:09:13,929
I wanted to ask you about
this menu illustration.

103
00:09:14,012 --> 00:09:19,268
I recognise most of the historical portraits
you've drawn here, but what's this here?

104
00:09:20,352 --> 00:09:22,437
It's the Fiji Mermaid.

105
00:09:23,105 --> 00:09:26,775
- Is that what that thing is?
- What's the Fiji Mermaid?

106
00:09:27,401 --> 00:09:30,362
The Fiji Mermaid. It's... it's the Fiji Mermaid!

107
00:09:30,654 --> 00:09:34,950
It's a bit of, uh... humbug
Barnum pulled in the last century.

108
00:09:35,033 --> 00:09:38,996
Barnum billed it as a real live mermaid
but when people went in to see it...

109
00:09:39,079 --> 00:09:43,625
...all they saw was a real dead monkey
sewn onto the tail of a fish.

110
00:09:43,709 --> 00:09:47,254
- A monkey?
- A mummified monkey.

111
00:09:47,337 --> 00:09:51,550
It supposedly looked so bad,
he had to exhibit it as a "genuine fake".

112
00:09:51,633 --> 00:09:54,595
But see? That's why Barnum was a genius.

113
00:09:54,678 --> 00:09:57,931
You never know where the truth ends
and the humbug begins.

114
00:09:58,140 --> 00:10:02,603
He came right out and said this
Fiji Mermaid thing is just a bunch of BS.

115
00:10:02,936 --> 00:10:08,108
That just made people wanna go and see it
even more. So I mean... who knows?

116
00:10:08,775 --> 00:10:14,323
Maybe for box-office reasons Barnum
hawked it as a hoax, when in reality...

117
00:10:14,573 --> 00:10:16,575
The Fiji Mermaid was a reality.

118
00:10:19,119 --> 00:10:21,955
Sheriff, we're gonna need
a place to stay tonight.

119
00:10:22,039 --> 00:10:26,043
There are lodgings right across the way,
but, uh... what's all this about?

120
00:10:26,126 --> 00:10:28,921
These tracks were found
at several past crime scenes.

121
00:10:29,004 --> 00:10:31,048
They've defied identification...

122
00:10:31,131 --> 00:10:34,968
...but one expert speculated
that they might be simian in nature.

123
00:10:35,052 --> 00:10:38,597
You're not telling me these tracks
were made by the Fiji Mermaid?

124
00:10:38,680 --> 00:10:42,017
Do you recall what Barnum
said about suckers?

125
00:10:59,076 --> 00:11:01,995
Tell me, have you done much
circus work in your life?

126
00:11:02,079 --> 00:11:07,251
And what makes you think I've ever spectated
a circus? Much less been enslaved by one.

127
00:11:07,334 --> 00:11:10,212
Many citizens here were circus hands
and I thought...

128
00:11:10,295 --> 00:11:13,715
You thought that because
I am a person of short stature...

129
00:11:13,799 --> 00:11:19,179
...that the only career I could procure for
myself would be one in the so-called big top.

130
00:11:19,680 --> 00:11:24,726
You took one quick look at me and decided
that you could deduce my entire life.

131
00:11:24,977 --> 00:11:30,357
Never would it have occurred to you
that a person of my height...

132
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,610
...could have possibly obtained a degree...

133
00:11:33,694 --> 00:11:35,779
...in hotel management.

134
00:11:35,863 --> 00:11:39,867
- I'm sorry. I meant no offence.
- Well, then, why should I take offence?

135
00:11:40,325 --> 00:11:44,496
Just because it's human nature
to make instantaneous judgments of others...

136
00:11:44,580 --> 00:11:47,374
...based solely upon
their physical appearances?

137
00:11:47,457 --> 00:11:50,002
I've done the same thing to you, for example.

138
00:11:50,085 --> 00:11:52,546
I've taken in your all-American features...

139
00:11:52,629 --> 00:11:56,383
...your dour demeanour,
your unimaginative necktie design...

140
00:11:56,675 --> 00:11:59,595
...and concluded
that you work for the government.

141
00:11:59,761 --> 00:12:02,097
An FBI agent.

142
00:12:03,182 --> 00:12:05,184
But do you see the tragedy here?

143
00:12:05,267 --> 00:12:09,938
I have mistakenly reduced you
to a stereotype, a caricature...

144
00:12:10,022 --> 00:12:14,860
...instead of regarding you
as a specific, unique individual.

145
00:12:15,152 --> 00:12:17,237
But I am an FBI agent.

146
00:12:23,911 --> 00:12:26,246
Register here, please.

147
00:12:27,122 --> 00:12:30,209
Tell me, have you done much
circus work in your life?

148
00:12:30,292 --> 00:12:32,628
I was on the stage for most of my life.

149
00:12:33,587 --> 00:12:35,672
I was a headliner.

150
00:12:35,756 --> 00:12:38,675
Did it not bother you
to have people staring at you?

151
00:12:38,759 --> 00:12:42,554
Best work I ever had.
All I had to do was stand there.

152
00:12:43,180 --> 00:12:45,474
Occasionally I'd say...

153
00:12:45,557 --> 00:12:49,603
..."Ladies and gentlemen,
I'd like you to meet my brother Leonard."

154
00:12:50,479 --> 00:12:53,565
"Excuse him-he's a little shy."

155
00:12:53,649 --> 00:12:56,652
Big laughs, I tell you. Big laughs.

156
00:12:56,735 --> 00:12:58,820
Why did you give it up?

157
00:12:58,904 --> 00:13:02,199
Mr Nutt, the kind-hearted manager here...

158
00:13:02,282 --> 00:13:09,540
...convinced me that to make a living by
displaying my deformity lacked dignity.

159
00:13:09,623 --> 00:13:12,125
So now I carry other people's luggage.

160
00:13:14,002 --> 00:13:16,505
I believe these are your trailers.

161
00:13:17,923 --> 00:13:20,634
If they are not, then I am wrong.

162
00:13:23,220 --> 00:13:24,221
Oh.

163
00:13:24,805 --> 00:13:27,891
That's most considerate.
Thank you very much.

164
00:13:30,936 --> 00:13:32,479
Goodnight.

165
00:13:32,563 --> 00:13:35,232
Sleep tight. Don't let the bedbugs bite.

166
00:13:36,441 --> 00:13:39,152
No. No, that's not what I meant.

167
00:13:39,236 --> 00:13:42,948
I didn't mean to imply we had bedbugs.

168
00:13:43,031 --> 00:13:46,368
I meant to say don't let... Don't let the...

169
00:13:46,577 --> 00:13:48,412
The Fiji Mermaids bite.

170
00:13:48,495 --> 00:13:52,374
Yes, that's right. The Fiji Mermaids.
That's right.

171
00:13:53,834 --> 00:13:55,878
That's... That's exactly...

172
00:13:56,712 --> 00:13:59,548
Mulder, what is this Fiji Mermaid business?

173
00:13:59,631 --> 00:14:03,051
Every murder inquiry begins with
a list of possible suspects.

174
00:14:03,135 --> 00:14:06,555
You should try not to be so exclusive, Scully.

175
00:14:06,638 --> 00:14:12,019
As long as you try not to let the atmosphere
here distort your list all out of proportion.

176
00:14:12,269 --> 00:14:14,021
# I'm in a frenzy

177
00:14:16,565 --> 00:14:17,733
# Frenzy

178
00:14:19,610 --> 00:14:22,571
# This love gushes from my heart

179
00:14:22,863 --> 00:14:25,199
# Like water from a spout

180
00:14:26,325 --> 00:14:29,286
# You build a flame from a tiny spark

181
00:14:29,369 --> 00:14:32,539
# You can really knock me out- Yeah!

182
00:14:32,873 --> 00:14:35,542
# Ease my mind with your real cool line

183
00:14:35,626 --> 00:14:39,087
# Daddy, fill my soul with love divine

184
00:14:39,296 --> 00:14:42,090
# When you say you're mine oh mine

185
00:14:42,174 --> 00:14:44,009
# I'm in a frenzy

186
00:15:03,779 --> 00:15:05,864
What the hell...?

187
00:16:47,591 --> 00:16:49,676
Uh... ma'am?

188
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,845
The sheriff, he wants to see you.

189
00:17:03,315 --> 00:17:05,817
There's been another murder.

190
00:17:07,653 --> 00:17:11,907
There's some blood on the window
we should send to the lab.

191
00:17:12,991 --> 00:17:16,954
- Why run a test on the victim's blood?
- No, not this window. This window.

192
00:17:19,289 --> 00:17:24,211
It seems to be the point of entry and there's
some blood on the outside of the window.

193
00:17:25,587 --> 00:17:28,340
Why would there be blood before the attack?

194
00:17:28,423 --> 00:17:32,094
Why didn't the attacker
just come through the open door?

195
00:17:33,387 --> 00:17:36,348
For a person to crawl
in and out of these windows...

196
00:17:36,431 --> 00:17:38,767
...they'd have to be a contortionist.

197
00:17:38,851 --> 00:17:42,187
Or just plain crazy. Or both.

198
00:17:54,157 --> 00:17:58,287
While they're performing
the autopsy, I wanna go down to the...

199
00:18:19,016 --> 00:18:23,854
How many people do you know that can get
out of a straitjacket in under three minutes?

200
00:18:23,937 --> 00:18:26,398
Fortunately, none.

201
00:18:26,982 --> 00:18:31,486
We caught your act at the funeral.
That was some trick with the railroad spike.

202
00:18:32,696 --> 00:18:35,866
Doctor Blockhead does not perform tricks.

203
00:18:36,992 --> 00:18:44,333
Doctor Blockhead performs astounding acts
of body manipulation and pain endurance.

204
00:18:48,045 --> 00:18:52,966
You must be one of those rare individuals
whose nerve endings don't register pain.

205
00:18:56,220 --> 00:18:58,639
You just keep tellin' yourself that.

206
00:19:00,182 --> 00:19:03,227
Have you ever performed this...
act on anyone else?

207
00:19:03,894 --> 00:19:08,398
Are you sick? I tell audiences if they're
stupid enough to try this themselves...

208
00:19:08,482 --> 00:19:12,277
...they'll end up with a slight lobotomy.
I am a professional.

209
00:19:12,528 --> 00:19:16,365
Exactly how does one become
a professional, Blockhead? May I?

210
00:19:17,658 --> 00:19:21,662
In my homeland of Yemen
I studied with yogis, fakirs and swamis...

211
00:19:21,745 --> 00:19:24,915
...learning the ancient arts
of body manipulation.

212
00:19:25,582 --> 00:19:27,709
But most men know nothing of these arts.

213
00:19:27,793 --> 00:19:31,713
Did you know that through
the Chinese practice of Tie Bu Shan...

214
00:19:31,797 --> 00:19:34,967
...you can train your testicles
to draw up into your abdomen?

215
00:19:35,050 --> 00:19:37,386
I'm doing that as we speak.

216
00:19:39,596 --> 00:19:42,641
I saw him this morning by the river.
He was eating a fish.

217
00:19:42,724 --> 00:19:46,103
He knows between-show snacks'll
ruin his appetite.

218
00:19:46,186 --> 00:19:51,191
I could be mistaken. Maybe it was another
bald, jigsaw-puzzle-tattooed naked guy.

219
00:19:51,275 --> 00:19:53,694
Is this... man also a body manipulator?

220
00:19:53,944 --> 00:19:56,864
No. In the classical sense,
the Conundrum's a geek.

221
00:19:56,947 --> 00:19:59,658
- He eats live animals.
- He eats anything.

222
00:19:59,741 --> 00:20:05,330
Live animals, dead animals, light bulbs,
corkscrews, battery cables, cranberries.

223
00:20:05,956 --> 00:20:09,543
- Human flesh?
- Only the Conundrum can answer that.

224
00:20:09,626 --> 00:20:13,964
But... he doesn't answer questions.
He merely poses them.

225
00:20:14,047 --> 00:20:17,718
When an audience partakes in
the Conundrum's human piranha act...

226
00:20:17,801 --> 00:20:20,220
...they are left to ask themselves...

227
00:20:22,181 --> 00:20:24,349
Why?

228
00:20:24,641 --> 00:20:27,060
But where are my manners?

229
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,485
Thank you.

230
00:20:54,463 --> 00:20:57,007
It's an old sleight of hand
my uncle taught me.

231
00:20:57,090 --> 00:21:00,594
He was only an amateur magician,
but he was better than those two.

232
00:21:00,677 --> 00:21:03,305
I'll go to the lab to test
the blood on the window...

233
00:21:03,388 --> 00:21:05,766
...against the blood on Blockhead's nail.

234
00:21:05,849 --> 00:21:08,602
Everybody's uncle's an amateur magician.

235
00:22:02,072 --> 00:22:04,032
Welcome to my museum.

236
00:22:04,116 --> 00:22:07,536
May I put to rest any questions
you may have conjured?

237
00:22:07,619 --> 00:22:11,039
I was just reading about
the fascinating life of Chang and Eng...

238
00:22:11,123 --> 00:22:14,751
...and, uh... wondering
if their death was just as fascinating.

239
00:22:15,085 --> 00:22:17,045
Oh, very much so.

240
00:22:17,129 --> 00:22:20,299
On a cold January eve in 1874...

241
00:22:20,382 --> 00:22:24,595
...Eng awoke to find his brother had
passed away during the course of the night.

242
00:22:24,678 --> 00:22:28,640
A few hours later,
Eng himself departed from this world.

243
00:22:28,724 --> 00:22:33,437
Now, these facts themselves may be
less than fascinating, but imagine.

244
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:37,149
Imagine being Eng, and lying there...

245
00:22:37,232 --> 00:22:40,736
...knowing that essentially
half your body was now dead.

246
00:22:40,819 --> 00:22:43,238
That the rest must inevitably follow.

247
00:22:43,322 --> 00:22:46,492
And being able to do about it -
absolutely nothing.

248
00:22:48,744 --> 00:22:53,916
At the autopsy it was officially concluded
that Chang died of a cerebral haemorrhage.

249
00:22:53,999 --> 00:22:58,295
- What was the official cause of Eng's death?
- Fright.

250
00:23:01,673 --> 00:23:05,052
Do you have any information
on blockhead or geek acts?

251
00:23:05,302 --> 00:23:08,263
This is an historical collection
on human curiosities.

252
00:23:08,347 --> 00:23:11,767
- Blockheads are skilled performers.
- Like magicians?

253
00:23:11,850 --> 00:23:14,728
Like sword swallowers
who really do swallow swords.

254
00:23:15,187 --> 00:23:19,483
And geeks are neither skilled nor curiosities.
They're merely unseemly.

255
00:23:19,775 --> 00:23:23,570
- Not even attaining the level of gaffs.
- Gaffs?

256
00:23:26,573 --> 00:23:30,244
Observe closely the dissimilarity
of the facial features.

257
00:23:30,327 --> 00:23:32,913
Conjoined twins are always identical.

258
00:23:32,996 --> 00:23:35,541
These gentlemen are phonies. Gaffs.

259
00:23:36,458 --> 00:23:38,544
Sort of like the Fiji Mermaid?

260
00:23:40,254 --> 00:23:43,423
You're investigating
the Alligator Man's murder, yes?

261
00:23:43,590 --> 00:23:47,386
I have something I believe
you might find of some interest.

262
00:23:51,265 --> 00:23:54,643
What does this have to do with
the Glazebrook murders?

263
00:23:54,726 --> 00:23:58,564
I've recently come into possession
of an authentic PT Barnum exhibit.

264
00:23:58,647 --> 00:24:01,233
I don't show this display
to all my customers -

265
00:24:01,316 --> 00:24:05,070
only those with the intellectual
curiosity to appreciate it.

266
00:24:05,153 --> 00:24:07,489
Barnum billed it as a great unknown.

267
00:24:09,074 --> 00:24:11,368
I must first ask of you two favours.

268
00:24:11,451 --> 00:24:13,871
Tell no soul what you witness in here.

269
00:24:14,621 --> 00:24:18,834
- And the second favour?
- An additional donation of five dollars.

270
00:25:42,334 --> 00:25:45,420
Does Agent Scully know
that you're under her crawlspace?

271
00:25:45,504 --> 00:25:49,174
I was merely repairing
the plumbing on this unit.

272
00:25:49,258 --> 00:25:53,262
I know what you're thinking, my friend,
but you are grossly mistaken.

273
00:25:53,345 --> 00:25:58,392
Not being of so-called average height does
not mean I must get my thrills vicariously.

274
00:25:58,475 --> 00:26:03,021
Not all women are attracted to
overly tall, lanky men such as yourself.

275
00:26:03,105 --> 00:26:07,985
You'd be surprised how many women
find my size intriguingly alluring.

276
00:26:08,068 --> 00:26:10,320
You'd be surprised how many men do, too.

277
00:26:14,867 --> 00:26:16,326
Ach!

278
00:26:27,087 --> 00:26:31,383
Oh, it's you.
Has Mr Nutt finished with the plumbing?

279
00:26:32,092 --> 00:26:37,389
The blood samples matched but were both
O-positive. They went for further analysis.

280
00:26:37,472 --> 00:26:39,975
I ran a background check
on Doctor Blockhead.

281
00:26:40,058 --> 00:26:43,145
His real name is Jeffrey Swaim
and he wasn't born in Yemen.

282
00:26:43,228 --> 00:26:46,398
He was born in Milwaukee.
He does not hold a doctorate.

283
00:26:48,108 --> 00:26:51,111
I ended up running a bit of
a background check myself.

284
00:26:51,612 --> 00:26:53,488
- On who?
- On an orphan...

285
00:26:53,572 --> 00:26:57,743
...discovered in the wild forests
of Albania in 1943.

286
00:26:57,826 --> 00:27:00,412
"Although adept at catching his own food...

287
00:27:00,496 --> 00:27:03,540
...he could not speak,
save for a few savage grunts."

288
00:27:04,208 --> 00:27:09,463
"Brought to this country, he was exhibited in
a locked cage owing to his feral ferocity...

289
00:27:09,755 --> 00:27:13,800
...where he would terrify onlookers
by devouring chunks of raw meat."

290
00:27:14,676 --> 00:27:17,971
"For reasons I could not ascertain,
he ran away from the circus...

291
00:27:18,055 --> 00:27:22,976
...and spent a number of years roaming about,
taking on a number of nondescriptjobs."

292
00:27:23,435 --> 00:27:27,981
"Eventually he wound up in Gibsonton,
where he began a career in law enforcement...

293
00:27:28,065 --> 00:27:31,693
...and has spent the past
four terms serving as sheriff."

294
00:27:31,777 --> 00:27:33,987
You're talking about Sheriff Hamilton?

295
00:27:34,071 --> 00:27:36,615
Before becoming Sheriff Hamilton...

296
00:27:36,782 --> 00:27:40,494
...James Hamilton was
Jim-Jim the Dog-Faced Boy.

297
00:28:43,557 --> 00:28:47,769
You know, Scully, hypertrichosis
does not connote lycanthropy.

298
00:28:47,853 --> 00:28:50,814
- What are you implying?
- We're being discriminatory.

299
00:28:50,898 --> 00:28:56,403
Just because a man was once overly hairy
why suspect him of aberrant behaviour?

300
00:28:56,486 --> 00:28:59,740
- Like assuming guilt based on skin colour?
- Yeah.

301
00:29:20,886 --> 00:29:23,305
May I ask what you're doing?

302
00:29:24,556 --> 00:29:26,642
We're exhuming...

303
00:29:27,976 --> 00:29:30,145
...your potato.

304
00:29:30,229 --> 00:29:32,523
May I ask why?

305
00:29:36,485 --> 00:29:41,615
It's been documented that many serial killers
possess a fascination with police work...

306
00:29:41,698 --> 00:29:45,202
...some of them even holding
positions on their local force.

307
00:29:45,285 --> 00:29:49,456
So, surveillance of investigation
team members is often utilised as a...

308
00:29:49,540 --> 00:29:52,251
We found out you used to be
a dog-faced boy.

309
00:29:59,716 --> 00:30:02,594
Boy, look how skinny I was back then.

310
00:30:03,428 --> 00:30:05,764
- So, that is you?
- Oh, sure.

311
00:30:05,848 --> 00:30:08,433
I spent the first half of my life as Jim-Jim.

312
00:30:08,517 --> 00:30:10,811
One day I noticed a bald spot on my head...

313
00:30:10,894 --> 00:30:14,314
...and realised I was losing my hair
and my career as well!

314
00:30:14,398 --> 00:30:17,568
Eventually all the hair went -
on top of my head anyways.

315
00:30:17,651 --> 00:30:22,030
The rest of my body's still pretty hairy,
which is why I never go to the beach.

316
00:30:22,322 --> 00:30:25,075
That doesn't quite explain the potato.

317
00:30:25,159 --> 00:30:28,036
I got, uh... some warts on my hand.

318
00:30:28,787 --> 00:30:31,206
That doesn't quite explain the potato.

319
00:30:31,290 --> 00:30:36,461
To get rid of warts, you rub a sliced potato
on your hand and bury it under a full moon.

320
00:30:39,590 --> 00:30:42,718
The investigation isn't
going too well, is it?

321
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:25,886
So tell me, Commodore.

322
00:31:25,969 --> 00:31:30,182
Why are the weirdos the only ones
that pay their rent cheques in advance?

323
00:31:35,437 --> 00:31:37,356
I warn you, you tattooed cretin!

324
00:31:37,439 --> 00:31:42,861
I have a licensed firearm and I am more
than eager for an opportunity to use it.

325
00:32:16,770 --> 00:32:19,231
I found him.

326
00:32:19,314 --> 00:32:22,276
He's dead. He's dead.

327
00:32:25,737 --> 00:32:30,075
Lanny says all the doors and
windows were locked from the inside.

328
00:32:30,159 --> 00:32:32,244
Scully, come here.

329
00:32:33,996 --> 00:32:36,081
He was like a brother to me.

330
00:32:39,585 --> 00:32:44,298
I don't know if a contortionist could get
through that doggy door, but look at this.

331
00:32:49,386 --> 00:32:51,471
Lanny! Lanny!

332
00:32:52,347 --> 00:32:54,808
Take it easy. You're gonna hurt yourself.

333
00:32:55,017 --> 00:32:57,936
- So what?
- So you might hurt me in the process.

334
00:32:59,813 --> 00:33:04,401
He gets this way sometimes.
I'll have to toss him in the drunk tank.

335
00:33:04,860 --> 00:33:07,112
We'll take Jeffrey Swaim into custody.

336
00:33:07,196 --> 00:33:09,198
Come on, Lanny. Let's go.

337
00:33:09,281 --> 00:33:11,700
You know, Mulder, for a while...

338
00:33:11,783 --> 00:33:15,579
...I was beginning to suspect this case
involved something a bit more...

339
00:33:15,662 --> 00:33:17,748
Freakish?

340
00:33:19,333 --> 00:33:21,668
You shouldn't complain about banality...

341
00:33:21,752 --> 00:33:25,005
...when your main suspect
is the Human Blockhead.

342
00:33:26,590 --> 00:33:28,383
It's open!

343
00:33:29,343 --> 00:33:32,054
Mr Swaim? Federal agents. We're here to...

344
00:33:33,055 --> 00:33:36,725
It's a variation of
an American Indian sun dance ritual.

345
00:33:37,309 --> 00:33:40,854
I suspend myself by these hooks...

346
00:33:42,064 --> 00:33:45,984
...and the pain becomes
so unbearable, I leave my body.

347
00:33:46,527 --> 00:33:50,405
If people knew the true price of spirituality,
there'd be more atheists.

348
00:33:50,489 --> 00:33:54,409
We're taking you into custody
to question you about some murders.

349
00:33:55,202 --> 00:33:57,496
I don't answer till I talk to my lawyer.

350
00:33:57,579 --> 00:34:00,791
- Who's your lawyer?
- I represent myself.

351
00:34:00,874 --> 00:34:03,752
If you're uncooperative,
I'll have to handcuff you.

352
00:34:03,836 --> 00:34:06,255
What gives you fascists
the right to do that?

353
00:34:06,338 --> 00:34:10,133
- Did I not say we're federal agents?
- Did I not say I'm an escape artist?

354
00:34:16,014 --> 00:34:18,100
Mulder, are you okay?

355
00:34:19,935 --> 00:34:22,271
It's more comfortable than a futon.

356
00:34:23,146 --> 00:34:25,190
Hey! Look what I caught.

357
00:34:25,274 --> 00:34:26,441
Ouch!

358
00:35:02,394 --> 00:35:04,479
What the hell...?

359
00:35:07,733 --> 00:35:09,651
No!

360
00:35:09,735 --> 00:35:11,904
Nooo!

361
00:35:11,987 --> 00:35:14,490
Nooo!

362
00:35:19,286 --> 00:35:23,790
This has all the makings of those mistaken-
identity miscarriage-of-justice things...

363
00:35:23,874 --> 00:35:26,084
...that prove so popular on 60 Minutes.

364
00:35:26,668 --> 00:35:31,173
- Is this yours?
- The Fifth Amendment says...

365
00:35:34,885 --> 00:35:38,263
- What is that?
- It's Lanny in the drunk tank.

366
00:35:38,347 --> 00:35:41,058
He'll be all right once he sleeps it off.

367
00:35:41,141 --> 00:35:44,228
No, I don't think
he's gonna sleep this one off.

368
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,529
There's been another attack.

369
00:35:53,612 --> 00:35:55,948
How could anyone have gotten in there?

370
00:35:56,031 --> 00:35:58,575
No one got in. But someone got out.

371
00:35:58,659 --> 00:36:01,370
- What are you talking about?
- I'm not sure myself.

372
00:36:01,453 --> 00:36:03,872
But we'll know more when we find Leonard.

373
00:36:03,956 --> 00:36:08,001
- Leonard?
- Lanny's brother.

374
00:36:18,345 --> 00:36:21,181
Oh, God, they extracted the twin.

375
00:36:21,265 --> 00:36:24,017
No. The twin extracted itself.

376
00:36:24,101 --> 00:36:27,312
- But it's an appendage.
- Yeah. Mulder...

377
00:36:27,396 --> 00:36:32,943
This wound is identical to the other victim's -
with one exception. He's not bleeding.

378
00:36:33,318 --> 00:36:38,574
If you're trying to tell me his twin can crawl
out of his body, you're as drunk as he is.

379
00:36:39,241 --> 00:36:42,911
You said it yourself, Sheriff:
it's what's inside that counts.

380
00:36:42,995 --> 00:36:48,542
I suspect that Lanny has an internal anomaly
that allows his conjoining twin to disjoin.

381
00:36:48,876 --> 00:36:51,420
But how? How...

382
00:36:51,545 --> 00:36:54,965
How could I turn him in
without turning myself in?

383
00:36:56,258 --> 00:36:58,927
Lanny, why does he attack other people?

384
00:36:59,636 --> 00:37:02,431
I don't think he knows he's harming anyone.

385
00:37:04,433 --> 00:37:06,518
He is merely seeking...

386
00:37:07,352 --> 00:37:09,438
...another brother.

387
00:37:12,566 --> 00:37:15,194
Are you in pain, Lanny?

388
00:37:16,945 --> 00:37:18,947
It hurts.

389
00:37:19,031 --> 00:37:21,116
It hurts not to be wanted.

390
00:37:24,912 --> 00:37:27,039
I don't know why he hates me so.

391
00:37:29,041 --> 00:37:32,544
I've taken care of him for all of our lives.

392
00:37:35,964 --> 00:37:38,550
Maybe that is the reason why.

393
00:37:39,426 --> 00:37:42,596
How long can he survive
outside of your body?

394
00:37:42,679 --> 00:37:44,765
Long enough...

395
00:37:45,974 --> 00:37:49,937
...to understand that you cannot change
the way you were born.

396
00:37:54,483 --> 00:37:56,693
Don't worry.

397
00:37:56,777 --> 00:37:59,321
He'll come back.

398
00:37:59,404 --> 00:38:01,490
He always does.

399
00:38:03,242 --> 00:38:05,536
I'm still his only brother.

400
00:38:06,745 --> 00:38:09,540
Sheriff, we're gonna need the paramedics.

401
00:38:12,125 --> 00:38:15,712
Scully, you're the medical expert
and you say the twin can disengage.

402
00:38:15,796 --> 00:38:18,465
But how mobile could such a thing be?

403
00:38:23,971 --> 00:38:26,056
Too mobile.

404
00:38:31,353 --> 00:38:33,772
So your twin can, uh...

405
00:38:34,690 --> 00:38:36,316
And then...

406
00:38:38,068 --> 00:38:39,319
What an act!

407
00:38:52,207 --> 00:38:54,293
I'll cover the back.

408
00:39:56,063 --> 00:39:58,565
Freeze!

409
00:40:07,699 --> 00:40:09,827
The fun house.

410
00:40:59,543 --> 00:41:01,628
I thought I heard a shot fired.

411
00:41:02,379 --> 00:41:06,175
I think we'd better go outside
and catch this thing coming out.

412
00:41:22,399 --> 00:41:24,485
It's the manager's dog.

413
00:41:25,027 --> 00:41:27,112
The trailer park.

414
00:42:02,564 --> 00:42:05,442
- Are you all right?
- Have you seen a... uh...

415
00:42:05,526 --> 00:42:07,694
Uh...

416
00:42:19,248 --> 00:42:23,126
Check out the area behind that trailer
and let me know what you find.

417
00:42:23,210 --> 00:42:24,503
All right.

418
00:42:24,586 --> 00:42:27,047
You're sure it was the twin you saw here?

419
00:42:27,130 --> 00:42:29,216
Maybe it was the Fiji Mermaid...

420
00:42:29,299 --> 00:42:32,386
...and he jumped back in the river
and swam back to Fiji.

421
00:42:32,469 --> 00:42:34,555
Now you know how I feel.

422
00:42:46,233 --> 00:42:49,945
- You're takin' off?
- Are you kidding? With that on the loose?

423
00:42:50,028 --> 00:42:54,199
They've been searching for it all day.
It can't have survived for this long.

424
00:42:54,283 --> 00:42:57,452
It'll probably try to crawl
back up into its brother.

425
00:42:57,536 --> 00:43:02,291
No, his brother Lanny died last night.
I performed the autopsy on him this morning.

426
00:43:02,374 --> 00:43:05,085
So I guess it's true
you can never go home again!

427
00:43:05,169 --> 00:43:07,296
His body wounds were nonfatal.

428
00:43:08,088 --> 00:43:11,008
He died as a result
of advanced cirrhosis of the liver.

429
00:43:11,091 --> 00:43:14,970
Oh, there's a moral to this story!
"Lay off the booze."

430
00:43:16,180 --> 00:43:19,433
Well, his body possesses
some anatomical discrepancies.

431
00:43:19,516 --> 00:43:24,271
Offshoots of the oesophagus and trachea
that almost seem umbilical in nature. I...

432
00:43:25,772 --> 00:43:29,193
- I've never seen anything like it.
- And you never will again.

433
00:43:29,276 --> 00:43:31,361
21st-century genetic engineering...

434
00:43:31,445 --> 00:43:34,573
...will eradicate Siamese twins
and alligator people.

435
00:43:34,656 --> 00:43:39,161
You'll even be hard-pressed to find
a slight overbite or a not-so-high cheekbone.

436
00:43:39,244 --> 00:43:43,081
You see, I've seen the future
and the future looks... just like him.

437
00:43:43,165 --> 00:43:46,168
Imagine! Living your whole life
looking like that.

438
00:43:46,460 --> 00:43:51,006
That's why it's left to self-made freaks like
me and the Conundrum to remind people.

439
00:43:51,215 --> 00:43:53,175
Remind people of what?

440
00:43:53,258 --> 00:43:57,346
Nature abhors normality. It can't go
very long without creating a mutant.

441
00:43:57,429 --> 00:43:59,640
- Do you know why?
- No. Why?

442
00:44:00,307 --> 00:44:02,267
I don't either. It's a mystery.

443
00:44:02,351 --> 00:44:05,562
Maybe some mysteries
are never meant to be solved.

444
00:44:11,527 --> 00:44:15,280
- What's the matter with your friend?
- I don't know what his problem is.

445
00:44:15,364 --> 00:44:18,867
- Maybe it's the Florida heat.
- Hope it's nothing serious.

446
00:44:19,535 --> 00:44:21,620
Probably somethin' I ate.

447
