SCULLY: Mulder, where are you? I waited 45 minutes for you this morning. MULDER: I, uh... Before I tell you I - I'm going to ask you to keep an open mind. SCULLY: This isn't an X-File? SCULLY: Mulder, we are supposed to be doing background checks not chasing X-Files. MULDER: Scully, Spender just round filed this case-- it's unconscionable. SCULLY: And what do you call rooting through his trash? MULDER: Like that's any different from the assignment we're stuck with. SCULLY: "We," Mulder? I'm stuck with it. You're not here. MULDER: Scully, this is a classic case of demon fetal harvest - what they called in the middle ages atum nocturnem-- the impregnation of an unwitting woman by a dark lord of the underworld... SCULLY: As host for his demon seed. MULDER: Exactly. SCULLY: Mulder... MULDER: Just humor me, Scully. Take a look at those medical records. I think they'll prove my theory. SCULLY: In Slavic societies the name Veles was synonymous with... the Devil. From the Lithuanian root "Vele"-- a horned demon who sucks the souls of the innocent. Mulder, you're not suggesting that he is himself... a devil, are you? MULDER: I'm not suggesting anything. I think the facts speak for themselves. SCULLY: Mulder, I will accept that a man can be demonic that he may have demon-like attributes but why would a demon-- if there were such a thing-- bother with a 9:00-to-5:00 "Make Room For Daddy"-routine just so he can off his wife and unborn child? MULDER: I don't know why; I'm not a psychologist [see pilot episode] but this is the best explanation for how that I've heard. MULDER: These weren't Wayne's babies, Scully. SCULLY: Well, whose babies were they? MULDER: I think Wayne realized something last night. That's why he was out here digging. He realized that he'd met someone even more evil than he was-- who would sacrifice what he desperately wanted for himself. SCULLY: Betsy? MULDER: It was no coincidence that she ran into us last night. We were taken in by her just like Wayne was-- by a woman who would say anything or do anything to get what she wanted-- who was even more driven than he was. SCULLY: To what? MULDER: To have what only Wayne could give her.
