WHEN A LITTLE BOY'S LIFE IS THREATENED BY HIS SUPERSTITIOUS GRANDMOTHER, MULDER MUST SOLVE AN OLD-WORLD RIDDLE TO SAVE THE BOY'S LIFE -- AND SCULLY'S.

After a toddler dies on the railroad tracks at a local fair, Mulder suspects a supernatural force at work in the boy's family. To protect the surviving son, he and Scully probe a family with old-world roots and a grandmother with old-world superstitions. Scully suspects a psychological disorder, but Mulder is convinced by poltergeist-type activity that some sort of paranormal activity is taking place. When evil strikes at the family twice more, they discover a surprising family secret about the dead, a secret that threatens the living. Mulder must enlist the help of a band of old men, the Calusari, to exorcise a demon spirit.

Let it be noted that in the episode....Mulder smiles at Scully's joke. Well, it doesn't happen much, so it should be noted ;-)

Mulder: "You see this is a helium balloon here, and the only thing I learned in kindergarten is when you let them go they float up, up and away. But you see this is moving away from him. Horizontally."

Scully: "Did you learn about wind in kindergarten?"

Chuck: "...but with this special software which... I designed..."

Mulder: (gives Scully an 'I don't know...' look about Chuck)

Chuck: "...we can detect hidden 'information.'"

Scully: "So you're saying that a... a ghost killed Teddy Holvey..."

____________________________________________________________

Mulder: "...I think from the... 'information'... here, this is clearly some kind of poltergeist activity."

Scully: "Mulder, this information is the same reason why I'll see a newspaper photo with Jesus' face appearing in the foliage of an Elm tree!"

(when told the 2 year old got out of a child-holster)

Scully: "I've seen some pretty slippery 2 year olds..."

Mulder: "...So unless Teddy Holvey was the reincarnation of Houdini...and that would have been an X-File in itself."

Scully: "Well I think this boy needs as much protection as he can get, but just not from ghosties and beasties."

Scully: "Have you ever heard of Munchausen by Proxy?"

Mulder: "Yeah, my grandfather used to take that for his stomach."

Mulder: "Before Chuck succumbed to the glamours of academia he did a tour of duty on the old Hippie Trail."

Chuck: "In 1979 I witnessed a guru named Sala Baba create an entire feast out of thin air."

Scully: "Too bad you didn't take a picture. You could have run it through your computer and seen the entire Last Supper." (NOTE: Mulder smiles at her joke!)

Calusari #1: "It is over for now. But you must be careful. It knows you."
