| Mulder and Scully are in their car, driving back to their motel. Scully, as ever, is playing the skeptic. Mulder is trying to figure how a curse would tie in with Alice's behavior. Scully I don't get it. A curse? She said all this psychic phenomena started when she was ten. What kind of curse waits ten years to start working? Mulder Maybe there was no curse. Maybe they were trying to heal her but that would only last for ten years. Ella was the only accident she witnessed when she was ten. Her fighting started when she was eleven, and the really bad accidents started this year. Her parent's healing spell is wearing off. Mulder's eyes lit up. He pounded the steering wheel with an open palm. Mulder That's it! Scully What's it, Mulder? Mulder That's why they killed their children, that's why all of the victims have small burns on them, that's why she passes out after fighting, that's why there were ten seconds of lost tape at the police station! Scully Mulder, what are you saying? He was getting giddy with his breakthrough. He turned off the highway onto a smaller road. Mulder We need to talk to Alice's parents. They drive down the road, leaving behind a sign stating: NORTHERN SEATTLE CORRECTIONAL FACILITIE STRAIGHT AHEAD. |
