AN ASSAULT ON A NURSE LEADS MULDER AND SCULLY INTO A RETIREMENT HOME WITH UNUSUALLY LIVELY RESIDENTS -- WHO MAY BE GETTING SUPERNATURAL HELP.

The rape of a nurse in a home for the elderly turns out to have paranormal overtones when the victim claims her attacker was invisible. Mulder and Scully find some surprisingly lively old people, a sinister treatment for Alzheimer's disease, and hints of a strange and vengeful force at work among the residents. Mulder and Scully uncover a bizarre and ancient drug being secretly administered. Mulder is trapped by a malevolent unseen force seeking to stop his search in a bathroom rapidly filling with water; he's unable to escape. Scully must find a way to free him before he drowns.

Notes

Personal notes: I loved the scene where Mulder and the nurse are trapped in the bathroom filling with water, very tense, and great effect when the door bursts open, pouring everyone out into the hall. Great effect when the nurse is thrown against the wall. Chilling scene when we see the full wall mural painting. And also of note, the scene where Scully is running down the hall, wowee!

Nurse Charters: "Oh yeah, I really get off on it."

(Scully is watching a video in the office, we see a woman's face on the screen)

Mulder: "Whatever tape you found on that VCR, it isn't mine."

Scully: "Good, because I put it back in that drawer with all the other tapes that aren't yours."

Mulder: (looking at screen, woman is badly bruised) "Well, this definitely isn't mine."

Michelle: "Look, when you bathe somebody every day for 5 years, you get to know more about them than you really need to."

Hal: "I've got plumbing older than this building, and it don't work much better, either!" (opens towel to provide a view)

Mulder: "Thank you for sharing."

Hal: (noticing Mulder looking at Scully) "Oh, I didn't mean to step on your toes there."

Hal: "I thought whats-her-name was Rogered by a ghost. I may have one foot in the grave, but I certainly can't fly down hallways...spreading Amore."

Mulder: "Apparently not."

Hal: "If that's what it's like in Heaven, Lord take me now!"

Scully: "What do you think, Mulder?"

Mulder: "About his plumbing?"

Mulder: "So you think Michelle Charters was raped by a 74 year old schizophrenic."

Scully: "It's possible."

Mulder: "An invisible 74 year old schizophrenic..."

Scully: "Well, maybe it's not the medication, maybe it's the place itself."

Mulder: "Are you saying that the building's haunted? Because if you are, I think you've been working with me too long."

Orderly: (chasing Stan) "What are you? Track star all of a sudden?"

Scully: "Mulder, mushrooms aren't medication. They taste good on hamburgers but they don't raise the dead..."

Mulder: "Shamans have been using them for centuries to gain entrance to the spirit world."

Scully: "I think you've been reading too much Carlos Castaneda."
