Kerber was a good cop. 40 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,917 Then why did he free him? 41 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,153 Pusher kept rambling about cerulean blue,... 42 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:21,791 ..kept saying how it reminded him of a breeze or somethin'. 43 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,637 "Cerulean blue is like a gentle breeze." 44 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,830 Over and over. 45 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:32,710 And then Kerber pulled into the truck and... blammo. 46 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:38,712 So you think Pusher somehow talked him into doing this, willed him into doing that? 47 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,836 Willed him? How? 48 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:42,990 No kiddin'.

Here's volume ten. 55 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,030 I'm sorry. I couldn't help noticing. 56 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,954 I was in Georgetown this weekend.

It's just a lot more powerful in this case. 70 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:30,189 This guy calls himself Pusher. Couldn't that mean he pushes his will onto other people? 71 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:35,593 Even if he could, why would he cause an accident when he himself was in the car? 72 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,514 Maybe he really didn't wanna go to jail. 73 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,674 Look at this. 74 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,719 "I solve problems.

I'm not guilty. 186 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,190 Thank you very much. 187 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,794 Would you excuse me for a minute? 188 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,312 I believe you owe me five dollars. 189 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,120 Hey, your shoe's untied. 190 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,548 Made you look. 191 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,359 How do you do it? 192 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,510 Hey, Modell. 193 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,552 I know your name now. I know where you live! 194 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,554 I dug up a few more things under "Modell". 195 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:59,112 Let me guess. He was an average student, he did an average stint in the military. 196 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,350 - Which branch? - Not his first choice. 197 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:05,353 He wanted to be a navy SEAL and then he wanted to be an army Green Beret. 198 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,438 He washed out of both - though not for lack of intelligence. 199 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:13,196 He ended up as a supply clerk at Fort Bragg. Served two years, general discharge. 200 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:18,838 Did you know he applied to the FBI? Didn't come close to passing the psych screening. 201 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:20,911 - You got a copy of that? - Yeah. 202 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,117 They found him to be "acutely ego-centered". 203 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:28,113 "He has no regard for the feelings of others, perceiving people as objects." 204 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,510 "He is extremely suspicious of government and authority." 205 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,670 Yet he wants to be in authority. 206 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,315 The screener caught him in a dozen self-aggrandising lies,... 207 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:42,793 ..saying that he was a master of martial arts and had been trained by ninjas in Japan. 208 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,793 Ninjas are said to have the ability to cloud the minds of their opponents. 209 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,075 Are we talking kung fu movies? 210 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,469 He certainly clouded the mind of that judge. 211 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,870 Even if he could, he didn't need to. We barely had a case. 212 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:58,430 We had enough to get past a simple preliminary hearing. 213 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,875 Modell put the whammy on him. 214 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,838 Please explain the scientific nature of the whammy. 215 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,469 I don't know. Maybe it's some mental aspect of some martial art,... 216 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:12,395 ..the suppression of the brain's chemistry produced by a cadence in Modell's voice. 217 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:16,553 - His voice seems to be the key. - Modell's last known employment... 218 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,393 ..was as a convenience-store clerk. 219 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:23,393 He has never been trained by ninjas. He has never even been out of the US. 220 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:27,189 He is just a little man who wishes that he were someone big. 221 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,955 And we're feeding that wish. That failed psych screening - 222 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:36,353 if Modell could actually control people's minds, he'd be an FBI agent, right? 223 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,000 He'd be a Green Beret, a navy SEAL. 224 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:43,596 Maybe the ability came to him more recently, like in the last two years. 225 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:48,318 Well, OK. What's your big theory? How do you explain what Agent Collins did? 226 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:52,313 This is a sane man, a family man with no history of psychological problems... 227 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,836 Sets himself on fire. How does that happen? 228 00:19:55,920 --> 00:20:00,436 What do you need me to say? That I believe that Model! is guilty of murder? I do. 229 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:04,832 I'm just looking for an explanation a little more mundane than the whammy. 230 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:06,831 He's laughing at us, Scully. 231 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,998 Excuse me. Where might I find the computer records section? 232 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,958 Fourth floor. West wing. 233 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,110 Thank you very much. 234 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,114 Can I help you? 235 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,117 I need to know some things,... 236 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,030 ..Holly. 237 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:51,158 Great.

I'd make him pay. 241 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,834 - Can I help you? - No. No, thanks. We're, uh... 242 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,275 We're just fine. 243 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:55,673 Look, we're in the middle of something here, so... 244 00:22:55,760 --> 00:23:00,470 - Who are you and what are you doin' here? - Take a walk, Mel Cooley! 245 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,630 - Let me go.
