TEASER
WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS
8:34 PM
The episode starts out with Carlton Chase running to a payphone. He is being followed. He leaves a message saying that he didn't do anything, and that the girl (Tammi Peyton) lied to them. He tells them to check her right-hand desk drawer – the whole story is there.

He drops the phone because the man is getting closer. He's running when he sees the police station. When he goes inside, he is hysterical. He yells that he is going to be killed. They put him in a cell and close the door. The cop tells him that he's never been safer and that no one will get him.

Suddenly blood erupts from the man's head and splatters on the small window that the cop is looking through.

ACT ONE
WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS
7:08 AM
Scully and Doggett arrive at the crime scene. Scully reads over the facts. She says that they identified the bullet as 9mm pistol ammunition. Doggett wants to know how Chase was killed. 

Scully asks what they know about the victim. Doggett just tells her that he was a single, well-to-do realtor with a clean record except for parking tickets. However, he came in the previous night claiming he was going to be killed. Scully adds that he was right.

Scully tells him that it looks like the bullet entered through the top of his head.

A cop comes down to talk to them. He tells them that they figured out that the bullet came through the air vent, however, Doggett finishes his sentence for him.

The cop opens up the vent in the ceiling. He tells them that the killer somehow got up into the ventilation system, and from there he had a clear line of site to shoot Chase below.

Doggett asks if anyone heard a gunshot. He says that even with a silencer it would most likely echo through the ductwork.

Scully asks the cop what’s directly above the ductwork.

When they get up there, Scully sees the bullet hole in the floor. Doggett says that he doesn’t understand how someone could have made the shot from up there. Scully says that they didn’t make it from there. She finds a hole in the ceiling and sticks a pencil up through it and leaves it there.

They go up to the roof of the building. Scully sees the pencil sticking up from the ground and pulls it out. Scully tells the cop that they are going to need the crime scene investigators up there. He tells them he will get them there.

DOGGETT: So, lucky shot?
SCULLY: Very. But this victim here stated that he was gonna be killed just moments before he was shot. Which doesn’t sound lucky at all.
DOGGETT: I guess I can’t argue with that.

Doggett notices something on the ground. He picks up the piece of cloth and puts it into an evidence bag. Scully asks him what he found. He tells her that it’s an old God Father trick. Wrap a towel around a pistol to muffle the sound. He hold the bag up and tells her that the killer was up there, but asks how he made the shot.

Scully mentions thermal imaging technology, which can pick up body heat through walls, and that maybe that was what allowed him to aim. Doggett says that they field-tested that in the marines. The machine would be about ninety pounds and has to be cooled with liquid nitrogen. They wouldn’t have been carrying it up the latter to the roof. He says that either way, the rooftop over the police station is a pretty ballsy place for a hit.

Tammi Peyton gets out of her car and goes into the AAA-1 Surekill Exterminators building where she works.

Tammi sits down at her desk and puts down the newspaper she was holding. She sees that there is a message on the answering machine so she presses play as she starts to read the article in the paper that is about Chase’s murder. The message starts. It is the message that Carlton Chase left the night before. She erases it.

She takes out her keys, opens the drawer, and pulls out a metal box. She turns the combination lock and opens it to reveal a black bound book. She closes the box and puts it away.

Dwight Cooper comes into the room and asks her what she is doing. She covers up by saying that her printer cable was loose. He tells her that she should be copying. He asks her if there are any messages. She tells him no, but he sees the light on the machine blinking. He makes her play it. It is a different message. It’s from a client who says that they didn’t kill all the rats and he wants them to come back and get the rest of them.

Dwight turns and starts to leave, but Tammi calls him back. She asks him if he heard the news. He doesn’t say anything, and doesn’t seem to care. She tells him she thinks that it’s scary news. He tells her to try to get his brother Randall on the phone.

She walks over and calls, looking at the picture of Chase in the newspaper. She hangs up the phone when she sees Randall walk into the room. She tells him that his brother wants to see him. He is quiet.

Randall dumps a barrel of rats into the dumpster. He sees that one is still alive, so he grabs a stick and smashes it.

Dwight calls him from behind. He asks if he’s been avoiding him. He assumes that Tammi told him that he wanted to talk to him. He wants to know what happened last night. He tells him that he’s not mad at him, but he needs to know exactly what happened. He tells him that anytime he decides to do something without telling him first he could get them both in trouble.

Randall finally speaks and says that he saw the man (Chase) stealing from them. Dwight says he was skimming, but asks him then where the money is that he was skimming. He tells Randall that he’s supposed to get the money before he does his thing. He says that it will probably be okay, but in the future to talk to him first.

Randall asks him if they’re going out that night, and Dwight smiles and nods his head.

CHASE REAL ESTATE
9:17 AM
Doggett and Scully go into the building. Doggett tells Scully that the police station is less than a mile from there. She says that Chase ran on foot and said that someone was after him, and where they are is probably where it all started.

Scully finds some receipts and finds out that Chase did a lot of business with an exterminating company called AAA-1 Surekill – six jobs in one month. Doggett says that he knows that’s a requirement of selling a house.

Doggett goes into the other room and finds a 45mm bullet. He tells Scully that the one that killed Chase at the police station was a 9mm.

Doggett turns on the light, and they can see holes in the walls and ceiling.

DOGGETT: You know, Elvis used to do this to his hotel rooms.

Scully says that she thinks Carlton Chase did it. Doggett asks who he was shooting at. If there were someone in the room, he would have hit him. She says, “Unless it was someone outside.”

1310 SOUTH MAIN STREET
11:32 PM
Three men are about to make a drug deal when Dwight comes in. The one man asks if he is a cop. He tells them that he is not, but he is going to take their money and drugs from them. Amused, they each pull a gun on him.

DRUG DEALER: Ah, you’re funny. Now, you know what? Chris Rock is funny. And you? You’re just dead.

Dwight turns to one of the men and points his finger like a gun. He says “bang,” and the man is shot and falls to the floor. He proceeds to do the same thing to the other two men.

Randall walks in from another room, holding a gun. There is a towel wrapped around it.

ACT TWO
1310 SOUTH MAIN STREET
8:07 AM
At the crime scene, Scully peers through one of the bullet holes in the wall.

After hanging up his cell phone, Doggett walks over to Scully. He asks her which kind of shooting it was this time: lucky, coincidental, or some third alternative. Scully says that is was precision marksmanship. The holes line up perfectly with the three victims behind them, which tells her that the shooter was standing right there, behind the wall. Doggett says that consequently he wouldn’t be able to see what he was aiming at. Scully says, “Unless he could see.” She says that the light our eyes can register is only a small portion of the electro magnetic spectrum. Other wavelengths from infrared to gamma have other properties. X-rays for instance can pass through solid objects. Doggett uses the wall as an example, and asks if she is saying that the guy used some kind of x-ray machine. She doesn’t answer him.

DOGGETT: Wait, you’re not saying this guy has x-ray vision?
SCULLY: I’m remarking that these wavelengths exist, and that the only thing that is stopping us from seeing them, if you will, is the biochemical structure of our eyes. I’m conjecturing that if this structure were somehow different, we’d have the ability to see things that we don’t.
DOGGETT leans close and whispers to her:
DOGGETT: Calling Clark Kent.

Scully says, “Okay…So you explain it.”

He tells her that he can’t, so he’s sticking with what he knows, that it was a drug rip-off. Furthermore, it’s the fifth drug rip-off in the area in the past two months. Somebody’s making a living capping local drug dealers. She asks him how a dead real estate agent figures into that. He hasn’t figured that out yet, but he did find out one more thing - sulfuroflouride. 

Back at the extermination building, Tammi is typing on a typewriter when Dwight comes in. He asks if she can see him in his office for a minute. She tells him that she needs to get some stuff in the bank. He tells her that it can wait.

They go into his office and he shuts the door. She starts to undress and asks if he can at least send Randall to get some lunch or something, he’s practically right outside the door. He tells her that he’ll keep the noise level down if she will. She tells him that she feels like he’s watching her for some reason. He asks how he could be watching her.

Randall leaves.

Doggett and Scully arrive at AAA-1 Surekill. Scully holds up the receipts to Dwight and asks if he recognizes them. He tells them that he can barely see and is legally blind. He calls Tammi out and they ask her. She confirms that they are the receipts for last month’s billing for Chase.

Doggett tells them that they found some evidence on the crime scene. He holds up the bag containing the cloth. He says that they found traces of the chemical sufuroflouride on it. Scully tells them that it is an insecticide used only by licensed exterminators. Dwight tells them that they do use it, along with about two hundred other chemicals.

Doggett asks him if he’s done time. He tells him that he had, a long time ago.

Doggett asks him while Carlton Chase called their office fourteen minutes before he was murdered. Dwight looks at Tammi.

Scully tells him that it was at 8:34 p.m. The call was to his office, billed on Chase’s calling card. It was made from a payphone not far from there. He just says that he doesn’t know what to tell her. They had all gone home by then, and there wasn’t any message on the machine. Doggett tells him that they’ll be in touch if they have any further questions.

Tammi starts to leave and Dwight calls her back. She tells him that she doesn’t know anything. She says that he must have left a message. He asks her what it said. She tells him that she didn’t hear it. When she went to hit play she accidentally hit erase. She didn’t tell him because she was afraid he would be mad because they could have lost business from someone.

He pulls out a lighter, lights it, and puts it up to her face. He looks at her closely, saying that he can’t see very well, but he wants to see her eyes. He asks her if she is lying. She says no. Finally he says that was all he needed to know, and he lets her go.

Scully and Doggett are looking at Dwight’s profile. He was arrested in 1986 for grand theft auto. Doggett wonders how a legally blind man could steal a car. Scully says that she assumes he had a partner who did the driving. Doggett says that he mentioned his brother, Randall, so he looks up his profile. They were arrested together, but Randall didn’t serve much time.  The two are twins.

DOGGETT: I hate twins. Twins never rat each other out.

Scully says that maybe there is someone in the office who will.

Tammi is in her apartment. She looks out the window and sees someone in the next apartment looking out. She closes her window blinds.

In the next apartment, Randall sits on a bed, staring. The camera shows that he is seeing through the layers of the apartment walls, into her room. She is getting undressed to take a shower. She looks behind her like she can feel someone watching her. The camera pans to show a close-up of Randall, who is still staring.

ACT THREE
7:44 AM
Tammi rushes into the exterminators building. She quickly opens her drawer and pulls out the metal box. Before she can open it, Dwight and Randall walk into the room. Dwight says that she is there very early, and she left her car running – he dangles her keys at her. He then takes the box from her.

Doggett and Scully come in with a warrant to search the place. Doggett asks what’s in the box, and Dwight says that he doesn’t know. Doggett asks Tammi what the combination is, and she tells him that she doesn’t remember. He says so much for the easy way, and then he breaks the box open. It’s empty.

Dwight tells Doggett that he owes him for the box. He runs a clean business and they are not going to find anything there.  Scully comes in and says that she wouldn’t be so sure. She holds up some files and asks him if he can explain them.

Doggett is interrogating Dwight. He asks him if he can tell him about the invoices.

In the next room, Scully is interrogating Randall. She asks him to talk about their exterminating company. She asks him how their little company billed over seven hundred thousand dollars to Chase Realty last year. 

SCULLY: Seven hundred thousand. That’s a lot of dead rats.

She tells him that she thinks that he, his brother, and Carlton Chase were in a whole other business together. Randall doesn’t answer her; instead he just stares at the wall in front of him.

The scene changes to Doggett and Dwight. Doggett tells Dwight that he didn’t know you could make so much money killing things that creep around behind walls. He tells Doggett that he’s just a regular Joe providing a public service.

The camera zooms away from them and back through the walls.

Randall tells Scully that he’s just a “regular Joe, providing a public service.” Scully realizes what he did and calls him on it. She asks him if that is what his brother just said to Agent Doggett. She moves closer to him.

SCULLY: You know why I said that, don’t you? Because somehow you can see through that wall. You can see your brother behind me and you can read his lips. I don’t know what gives you the ability, but I know how you use it. You shoot drug dealers from places where they can’t see you, and then you and Dwight rob them. That’s how you make all that money, isn’t it?
RANDALL: No, we’re exterminators.
SCULLY: Yeah, you certainly are. And talking to you now, I think that the whole thing is Dwight’s idea. It’s time to be your own man Randall. It’s time to think for yourself.

Doggett and Scully take Tammi in to interrogate her.

Out in the waiting room, Dwight asks Randall if he told them anything. He tells him that he only said what he said. Dwight looks to the door that Tammi just went in and tells him that they have a problem that needs to be taken care of.

Tammi tells Doggett that she just keeps the books. He tells her that she keeps the books and a whole lot of blood money going through the office. Doggett asks if she really thinks they were supposed to believe that she didn’t know what was going on – the drug rip-offs and the murders. She tells him that she doesn’t know anything. She tells them that Dwight doesn’t tell her anything. She just books the cash receipts. She doesn’t ask where they’re from; she knows not to ask.

Scully tells her where she gets confused. Doggett says that they think Chase was Dwight’s fence. He sold the drugs her boss stole. Together they had a good thing going, so why was Chase killed? It seems like bad business. Scully adds that it does, unless it the reason wasn’t business, and that it was personal.

Tammi asks if she’s under arrest. They let her go.

Tammi comes into her apartment and looks out the window where she can see someone.

At the police station, Doggett tells Scully that he found something interesting in Tammi’s records. He gives them to her to read. It is the phone record and shows calls to Chase, all late at night. He asks her what she wants to bet that they weren’t discussing escrow accounts.

Tammi goes to the next-door apartment.

Scully says that Dwight learned that there was something going on between his girlfriend Tammi and Chase. Doggett finishes that Dwight kills him, or orders him killed, assuming Randall’s the triggerman. Scully says “Maybe not.” Doggett asks her what she means. She says that maybe Dwight’s not the one who is jealous.

Tammi comes up behind Randall without his knowledge. She tells him that she knows it was him. She tells him that she still needs help. 

ACT FOUR
WORCESTER BUS STATION
2:23 PM
Tammi is sitting in a car with Ronald. She tells him that she made a reservation for the three o’clock bus. She wants him to wait for her at the Big Sky Express. She tells him that she will be back after she gets the money. She knows that he took the book to protect her. He gives it back to her. Inside is a key.

She thinks that Ronald is afraid she won’t come back, but she assures him that she will. She says that he saved her from Carlton and she owes him.

In Tammi’s apartment, Scully is looking through drawers. She tells Doggett that Tammi’s clothes are gone and she left in a hurry. Maybe she thought someone was after her.

Doggett tells her that if someone is after you, you don’t pack. You leave with what you are wearing. Scully asks him if he thinks she planned to go. He does. The question is where.

Doggett walks across the room and picks up Tammi’s phone. Scully asks who he is calling. He says he’s calling whoever Tammi called last. He hits speed dial. He gets a message from the bus station.

Tammi comes out of the Craddock Marine Bank with the money from her safety deposit box. She gets in her car, but Dwight is there. He grabs the stuff off of her and asks if that is what she had in her box, a safety deposit key. He finds the money in the bag. He tells her to drive.

Meanwhile, Randall stands dejectedly watching the bus pull away. He walks away just as the police arrive.

Back at the exterminator building, Dwight is looking through Tammi’s book. He realizes what she has been doing – keeping two books of records. She has been stealing from him for months. He says that there is a hundred thousand dollars difference there. He tells her that Randall should have killed her instead of Chase. He says, “Or maybe you and Carlton were working together.” She tells him that it wasn’t like that. When Carlton found out about the money, he blackmailed her and made her ‘do things.’

A little confused, Dwight asks, then, if Carlton wasn’t stealing from him, why did Randall kill him. After a moment, Dwight smirks. Tammi tells him that he doesn’t understand, but he says that he does: his brother was sweet on her. He killed Carlton because he knew what was going on between the two of them.

Randall walks up. Dwight tells him that he has something for him to do.

Dwight gives Randall the gun and tells him to kill Tammi. He tells him that he loves him and she doesn’t. Dwight then leaves the room to let Randall kill her.

Randall puts the towel over the gun as Tammi pleads for her life. She tells him that she was coming back for him, but he says that she wasn’t. He trains the gun on her. In an instant, he moves his focus beside her and fires. The bullet travels through the wall and into his brother’s forehead. Randall drops the gun.

Back at the police station, Randall has been questioned.

Doggett asks Scully if Randall has said anything. She tells him that the county DA came in and he denied representation.  Aside from that he’s been uncommunicative. He tells her that the APB on Tammi Peyton is a wash so far. The bureau of Montana is on alert.

SCULLY: He watched her everyday, wherever she was. The man who could look at anything in the world, and he chooses her. He must have seen something in her she couldn’t see in herself.
DOGGETT: Well, if you’re suggesting he could see into her heart, Agent, I think we’re out of FBI territory on this one.

He tells her that he will be out front.

The camera zooms in on Randall, who is staring through the wall, looking at Tammi’s profile on a computer screen.
