MULDER: This is the tree that stopped Private McAlpin's car.
State police reported there's graffiti on the bark.
SCULLY: It looks like some kind of ritual symbol.
MULDER: Most of the refugees at Folkstone are Haitian.
SCULLY: Mrs. McAlpin believes voodoo was behind her husband's
death?
MULDER: Mrs. McAlpin doesn't believe her husband killed himself.
She wants to know who did.
(man grabs SCULLY in the bar)
CHESTER: Go! Go! Get away! Get away!
He’s crazy. Too much rum.
For such a pretty lady it’s dangerous out here. You need something
pour vous gardez --- for protection. (gives her a small cloth bag) Your lucky charm.
SCULLY: (ignoring him) Come on, Mulder.
MULDER: How much?
CHESTER: Five … (changes mind) Ten.
MULDER: I’ll give you five.
SCULLY: Let’s go, Mulder.
MULDER: You should always carry protection.
COLONEL WHARTON: We're soldiers. We're not prison guards.
And we're being asked to police a hostile population of foreigners
without the resources to feed or house them. There are bound to
be some conflicts.
SCULLY: So your men are getting the brunt of the refugees'
frustration?
COLONEL WHARTON: It's hatred, plain and simple. They hate us
and all I can do is see that they're processed as efficiently as possible.
MULDER: Colonel Wharton, a, uh... A certain ritual sign was found
at the scene of both deaths. Is there anything you can tell us about that?
COLONEL WHARTON: Not much. Apparently, it's some sort of
voodoo marking.
MULDER: But you haven't investigated it as a possibility.
COLONEL WHARTON: Possibility of what? All I know is voodoo
caused a riot in my camp. One night they held some secret ceremony.
The next day all hell broke loose.
CORONER FOYLE: What kind of a sick joke is this? Jackson!
JACKSON: Sir?
CORONER FOYLE: Who the hell's been in here?!
Someone’s tampered with McAlpin’s body and I want to know who!
(SCULLY looks down at the dog corpse, which has replaced McAlpin's)
BAUVAIS: It is the Loco-Miroir the crossroads between the two worlds--
the mirror in which a man must confront his true self. These Marines...
Maybe they didn't like what they saw.
SCULLY: Mulder, voodoo only works by instilling fear in its believers.
You saw how Bauvais tried to intimidate me. I'll admit the power of
suggestion is considerable but this is no more magic than a pair
of fuzzy dice.
SCULLY: (reading McAlpin's chart) Electrolytes, white and red counts are all
normal. Except this is strange. The lab detected trace levels of
tetrodotoxin in his blood. That's a poison
found in the liver and reproductive organs of puffer fish-- a Japanese
delicacy.
MULDER: Somehow, I get the feeling Private McAlpin didn't
frequent too many sushi bars.
SCULLY: You have a theory how it got into his blood?
MULDER: What do you know about zombies?
SCULLY: Well, I hope you don't intend to tell Robin McAlpin that
she married one?
SCULLY: (looking at frogs) Maybe I should kiss a few and find
out if one is Guttierez.
CHESTER: Fresh bones. They pay good. But I go there for the frogs.
You find the best frogs at the cemetery.
MULDER: Wharton’s left these people no choice but to fight back
with the only weapon they have.
SCULLY: Sorry, Mulder, there’s a big difference between nasty looks
and raising the dead.
MULDER: I was surprised to get your card. I had assumed our last
contact... would be our last. Why are you here?
X: Your investigation is faltering, Agent Mulder.
MULDER: I've got a renegade Marine who may be violating every
human rights provision...
X: These people have no rights. In 24 hours all access to Folkstone
will be restricted to military personnel. No press, no third-party monitoring.
MULDER: What about Scully and me?
X: You'll be called back to Washington on a priority matter.
MULDER: (sighs) They're making the camp invisible. Why?
X: In case you haven't noticed, Agent Mulder, the Statue of Liberty
is on vacation. The new mandate says if you're not a citizen you'd
better keep out.
MULDER: Why hold them up? Why not just repatriate them?
X: During our most recent involvement in Haiti three US soldiers
took their own lives. Of those men, two were under Colonel Wharton's
command.
MULDER: You’re saying the military's sanctioning Wharton's revenge?
These people are innocent civilians. Some people in Congress might
have a real problem with that.
X: By the time they get a committee together it'll be as if none of this
ever happened.
MULDER: You’re okay?
SCULLY: I feel better than you look.
