4-D
[Doggett.]
Looking right at us.
Fifty bucks says that's Lukesh.
A hundred says he knows we're here.
It's him.
Let's take him.
Let him get to the mailbox.
[Doggett.]
It's Lukesh.
I don't need him opening the mailbox to prove it.
Patience, Agent Doggett.
We've got an agent alone with a psycho who likes cutting out women's tongues a guy known for his vanishing act.
We've got the block surrounded.
He isn't vanishing anywhere.
And your partner volunteered.
Now open 4-D.
Agent Reyes [Over Radio.]
Stand by.
What the hell is this? Monica, don't.
[Follmer.]
Agent Reyes keep your distance.
Don't let him see you following.
Monica, where are you? [Reyes.]
Back stairwell.
I lost sight of him.
I think he might be here.
[Monica Screams.]
Oh, no.
Oh, no! [Groans.]
Agent down! Back stairwell.
! Get EMS here now.
! Doggett, he's got her gun! Erwin Lukesh! Federal Agent! Turn around, you son of a bitch.
[Siren Wailing.]
Back here! [Garbled Radio Transmission.]
[Gunshot.]
[Gunshot.]
Hey.
So this is how the uptown crowd lives, huh? This is it.
Moving on up.
So, is there anything really heavy that I can move for you? A dresser, a fridge? No, but thank you, John.
You've just missed the movers.
You don't say.
[Chuckles.]
I brought you a housewarming gift.
[Paper Bag Crinkling.]
[Sniffing.]
Hot dogs? Polish sausage! It's the best in the city.
There's a little stand a couple of blocks over on M Street.
You'll be able to walk to it.
Wow.
Try one.
Mmm! Like I'm back in Gdansk.
Let me get some plates.
Plates? For crying out loud.
Who eats Polish sausage with plates? [Phone Ringing.]
[Beep.]
Hello.
Agent Reyes, it's A.
D.
Skinner.
Yes, sir.
There's no easy way to say this.
I'm sorry to do it over the phone.
What is it? It's Doggett he's been found in an alley off Dillon Park.
He's been shot.
I'm sorry.
What did you say? [Skinner.]
They're taking him to Washington Memorial.
Agent? Sir, what you're saying is Agent Reyes? Agent Reyes.
! [Elevator Bell Rings.]
Excuse me.
[Follmer.]
Monica.
Brad? Skinner called you too? He's staying at the crime scene.
I'm sorry.
I've been put in charge of the investigation.
I promise you it's my top priority.
I will find the person who did this.
I just need to find out why your partner was in that alley this morning.
He wasn't! He was with me, at my apartment.
He was with me when Skinner called me.
I'm not sure I'm following.
Monica, I'm so sorry.
Agent Doggett is just coming out of surgery.
They're moving him to the ICU.
How's it look? If he pulls through this it's likely that he'll be paralyzed for life.
I haven't understood one single word I've heard since I got here.
Whoever you're talking about, it's notJohn Doggett.
[Instruments Beeping, Hissing.]
You found the bullet.
Nine-millimeter slug.
Found it in the alley lodged in a wall.
Most likely from a SIG Sauer P226 or 228.
Possibly FBl-issue.
I know what you're thinking but this didn't come from Doggett's weapon.
Ballistics don't match, and his gun was never fired.
Assistant Director? I'd appreciate case updates in a timely fashion.
For instance, this bullet How long have you had it? An hour? Two? Thereabouts.
It's just that we need to keep the lines of communication open.
That's all I'm asking, okay? I want this slug run through our database of FBl-issue pistols.
Like I told you the round didn't come from Doggett's weapon.
You're not saying another agent could have done this? Just run it, please.
I just I don't understand how any of this is possible.
He was with me, Dana, in my apartment.
How can this be? I saw something once.
It's only been the last of couple years that I've fully come to terms with it.
In '94, my father passed away.
And that night, I think that very moment that it happened, he came to me.
I like to believe that he came to say good-bye.
A visitation.
I think that's wonderful a blessing but that's not what happened to me.
[Cell Phone Rings.]
Scully.
It's me.
Is Reyes with you? Yes, she's here.
We're both still at the hospital.
I need you to bring her to the Sixth District Police Station.
I'm on my way there myself.
What's this about? I'll tell you when you get there.
What's going on? Agent Reyes, would you mind stepping inside, please? Hi, Monica.
Have a seat.
I wanted you and I to have a chance to talk alone to clear a few things up a few details of your story.
My "story"? [Follmer.]
Well, your assertion that you were with Agent Doggett when he was shot.
What is this? - Just wait.
- Is that a true statement? Yes.
I mean no, I wasn't with Agent Doggett when he was shot, but I was with him at the time A.
D.
Skinner called to tell me he'd been shot.
Look, Monica you know how I feel you know I'm on your side but give me something here.
Give me some mitigating reason for what you're trying to cover up.
I'm going to put a stop to this.
[Reyes.]
What are you saying to me, Brad? Why are you saying these things? [Sighs.]
We've checked and rechecked the ballistics tests.
The bullet that hit Doggett came from your gun.
And furthermore we have an eyewitness one who's placed you at the scene.
Is that why I'm here in this room, so you can make an I D? Agent Reyes, I'm going to have to ask you for your FBI identification and your gun.
Who's there? Who's back there? We appreciate your cooperation, sir.
Anything I can do to help.
[Respirator Hissing.]
[Door Opens.]
Smart touch posting a guard to make sure I don't finish the job.
Do you really believe I did this? No.
But it doesn't matter what I believe.
You may still be arrested.
So what are they waiting for? Follmer's case has a couple of potential holes.
For starters, there's the fact that when I called you you were at home Plus, there's the condition of your gun.
It hadn't been fired.
However, the bullet does match your gun perfectly.
It doesn't make any sense.
None of it.
What about the eyewitness? What can you tell me about him? You know we can't discuss that.
Look.
Oh, my God.
John? Is he conscious? I don't know.
It could just be a muscle spasm.
It's not uncommon with this type of spinal injury.
No, it's not a spasm.
What is it? It's Morse code.
What did he say? "Lukesh.
" What? What does that mean? [Television Playing In Background.]
[Old Woman.]
Who's there? Is somebody there? Erwin, is that you? Who else would it be, Mama? I thought maybe robbers.
I thought something terrible had happened to you.
You were gone so long.
I was gone two hours and six minutes.
I'm back at noon just like I told you.
I was so scared.
Could you bring me a glass of Clamato with two squirts of Texas Pete and two ice cubes? Oh, God, I was all alone and I heard the knob rattle.
Somebody was rattling the knob.
It was the robbers.
I just know it was.
I don't know how I got through it.
I was so scared.
[Announcer On TV.]
Like sands through the hourglass so are the Days of Our Lives.
My show is on.
Could you make me my hot sandwich so that I could eat my sandwich while I watch my show? What kind of sandwich is it? Potted meat.
I don't think I like that.
Have I had it before? Many times.
You love it.
I should be at the hospital.
Scully will call if he regains consciousness.
Either way, I should be there.
Agent, you're still under investigation.
Not to mention I will be too if it's ever found out that I showed you this.
"Erwin Timothy Lukesh.
" Have you ever seen him before? "1995: Patient at the State Psychiatric Hospital "at Gaithersburg.
"Diagnosed with a delusional disorder "anger subtype, which presented itself shortly after the suicide death of his father.
" After four months he was deemed fit for release.
He lives with his invalid mother in an apartment adjacent to the crime scene.
What's the story he's telling? That he heard a bang went downstairs to investigate and then he saw you exit the alley.
This is the one person we know was in the vicinity at the time of the shooting.
Why would Doggett say his name? You think Lukesh shot Doggett? What if Doggett was investigating Lukesh? What if Lukesh is somehow behind all this? [Phone Rings.]
- Skinner.
- It's Follmer.
Do you recall our discussion where I asked you to keep me up to date? I do.
Really? And yet it's like we never even had it.
I'm at Washington Memorial.
I'm assuming you're with our prime suspect.
Bring her.
She's going to talk to Agent Doggett.
[Elevator Bell Dings.]
Oh, the gang's all here.
How is he? Fully conscious.
We set up a communication device designed for spinal injury victims.
Speaking with him should be much easier.
Just so we're clear you'll ask only the questions I want asked.
You're not to try to shade his testimony in any way.
If you're so concerned why let Reyes talk to him in the first place? Because he says he won't talk to anyone but you.
He didn't mention you two.
John.
Hey, there.
That's right.
You're alive.
As if there were ever any doubt.
Why am I alive? Is that what you're asking? I'm fine, John.
Why wouldn't I be? Have him say who shot him.
My throat wasn't cut, John.
What do you mean? Wiggle your finger if you feel anything.
Any sensation at all? Pain? Tingling? Okay.
That's enough for today.
We'll see if you can do any better tomorrow.
You kiss your mother with that mouth? It's coming along.
It's nowhere, basically.
There's so much that's impossible to reconcile.
You say I was on a stakeout with you.
I say you were at my apartment bringing me John do you know a little stand on M Street supposed to be really good hot dogs? John, what if we were both right? What if you were at my apartment and I was on a stakeout with you at the exact same time? What would it take for that to be true? [Tapping.]
Except maybe we do.
Maybe all of us do.
You've heard of the idea of a parallel universe one that's identical, or nearly identical to our own one in which we all have a double.
It's theoretical physics, but what if it's real? You said yourself, Erwin Lukesh was known for his impossible escapes.
You said that in the alley you looked away only for an instant and he was gone.
Back here! And then somehow he was behind you and he shot you.
With my gun my gun that never left my possession that entire afternoon.
What if Lukesh can pass freely from one parallel world to the other? Like like he's opening a door.
And what if somehow you followed him through that door without even knowing it? Maybe when you followed Lukesh into this world, my my Doggett got forced out.
My Doggett would have called that crazy too but give me another theory that fits.
I'm kind of confused as to why I'm back.
I already told you everything I know.
We just had a few little, uh inconsistencies that we needed to clear up.
Sure.
Dot the i's, cross the t's.
Yeah, here's an odd one for starters.
We have an eyewitness that says you shot AgentJohn Doggett.
Well, that's surprising.
I can't imagine who would have said that.
Agent Doggett.
Yeah, he's regained consciousness.
He's very chatty.
Among other things, he says that you're a murderer.
That you enjoy killing women with a straight razor.
And cutting out their tongues.
Yeah.
Wow.
[Chuckles.]
What a corker.
Mr.
Lukesh would you consent to a GSR test? GSR? What is that? It can reveal whether or not someone recently fired a gun.
You wouldn't mind indulging us, would you? I don't know.
I think I'd have to talk to my lawyer about that.
Look.
My heart goes out to your Agent Doggett but he's confused.
It's clear to me that your female agent, Ms.
Reyes, is responsible for this terrible tragedy.
Is there someone who can corroborate your story? No.
What about your mother? You live with your mother, right? She was sleeping.
She wouldn't have heard anything.
Huh.
Well, still, maybe she can tell us something.
Would she be willing to come down here and talk to us? My mother's in poor health.
She gets confused easily.
Oh, we can go to her.
I won't have you harassing her just because you're afraid to admit that one of your people did this.
Now, if you're going to arrest me do it.
Otherwise, I'm going home.
Say hi to Mama.
Agent Reyes, right? What's the matter? Cat got your tongue? How do you do it? You know what I'm talking about, don't you? There's this world and there's the world where you live out your sick fantasies.
When did it start? Was it after your breakdown in '95? All that anger.
It's buttoned up so tight it had nowhere else to go.
It had to get released.
Not here but in a world just like this one.
God, I enjoyed you.
You bled just like a pig.
Reyes? You all right? Mama, I'm home.
Mama, you want your Clamato? Mama? Have you been out of bed? Mama? You don't tell me things, Erwin.
I tell you things.
You sneak out of the house all night.
You leave me alone all by myself and then you think I don't know.
Well, I know.
I know every time.
What is it that you do, Erwin that you don't tell me? I don't.
I don't do that.
I don't know what you mean.
Why is that in my house? I opened the drawer, and it gave me a heart attack.
I don't know how I even picked it up without it going off and killing me.
I was so scared.
[Crying.]
Mama.
I don't know how it got there.
If you won't tell me you can tell the FBI, that's it.
Yes, the FBI has left three messages.
They want to talk to me.
Can you imagine, Erwin? Why would the FBI want to talk to me? [Tape Rewinding.]
What are you doing? Aren't you even gonna listen? Are you gonna talk to them? Well, of course I am.
It's the FBI.
Mama.
Oh, don't turn on the waterworks, mister.
That's not going to wash.
I'm the one who's being lied to.
Erwin what are you doing? Erwin.
What are you doing? Erwin.
! [Screaming.]
Did not.
Anyway, that's what you get for hiring cheap help.
Thinking about what? How? Bad joke.
My theory is sound? You don't believe a word of it, John.
Never in a million years would you believe.
This has nothing to do with my theory.
I would do anything for you.
Anything but that.
[Cell Phone Rings.]
Reyes.
It's Skinner.
Are you okay? Yes, sir, I'm fine.
I can't say the same for Miriam Lukesh.
What happened? She's dead.
It's the exact M.
O.
Doggett described.
Most likely a straight razor was used.
Lukesh killed his mother.
Do you have any idea where he is? None.
But if everything I've been hearing is true he's not going to be easy to find.
I think he'll find us.
[Soft Clattering.]
[Scully.]
Are you all right, Agent Reyes? Just a little jumpy, I guess.
It's understandable.
I don't think you're the only one.
Try and take it easy, Monica.
We got you covered coming and going.
Anything happening out front? No, you moved into a quiet neighborhood.
It's dead out there.
I think I'll check around once more.
[Muffled Scream.]
You want to scream right now, don't you? - Lukesh.
- Because of your friends outside parked in a van might as well say "FBl" in big huge letters.
Do it.
Try and scream out to them.
They can't hear you.
Where'd she go? Monica, do you copy? [Skinner.]
Reyes? Agent Reyes, do you read me? He's in there.
He's gotta be.
- It's not possible.
- Well, what if it is? You want to stick around and find out? You ruined everything, you bitch.
You made me.
You made me do it.
- Lukesh, don't - Shut up.
Shut up.
But you know what? This time I get to bleed you slow.
You all right? Monica, you all right? It's okay.
It's okay.
It's over.
[Beeps.]
[Respirator Deflates, Stops.]
[Dial Tone.]
Monica, forget about the plates, will ya? What's wrong? Monica, what's wrong? I'm good.
I'm good.
[Child.]
I made this.
!
Looking right at us.
Fifty bucks says that's Lukesh.
A hundred says he knows we're here.
It's him.
Let's take him.
Let him get to the mailbox.
[Doggett.]

That you enjoy killing women with a straight razor.
And cutting out their tongues.
Yeah.
Wow.
[Chuckles.]
What a corker.
Mr.
Lukesh would you consent to a GSR test? GSR? What is that? It can reveal whether or not someone recently fired a gun.
You wouldn't mind indulging us, would you? I don't know.
I think I'd have to talk to my lawyer about that.
Look.
My heart goes out to your Agent Doggett but he's confused.
It's clear to me that your female agent, Ms.
Reyes, is responsible for this terrible tragedy.
Is there someone who can corroborate your story? No.
What about your mother? You live with your mother, right? She was sleeping.
She wouldn't have heard anything.
Huh.
Well, still, maybe she can tell us something.
Would she be willing to come down here and talk to us? My mother's in poor health.
She gets confused easily.
Oh, we can go to her.
I won't have you harassing her just because you're afraid to admit that one of your people did this.
Now, if you're going to arrest me do it.
Otherwise, I'm going home.
Say hi to Mama.
Agent Reyes, right? What's the matter? Cat got your tongue? How do you do it? You know what I'm talking about, don't you? There's this world and there's the world where you live out your sick fantasies.
When did it start? Was it after your breakdown in '95? All that anger.
It's buttoned up so tight it had nowhere else to go.
It had to get released.
Not here but in a world just like this one.
God, I enjoyed you.
You bled just like a pig.
Reyes? You all right? Mama, I'm home.
Mama, you want your Clamato? Mama? Have you been out of bed? Mama? You don't tell me things, Erwin.
I tell you things.
You sneak out of the house all night.
You leave me alone all by myself and then you think I don't know.
Well, I know.
I know every time.
What is it that you do, Erwin that you don't tell me? I don't.
I don't do that.
I don't know what you mean.
Why is that in my house? I opened the drawer, and it gave me a heart attack.
I don't know how I even picked it up without it going off and killing me.
I was so scared.
[Crying.]
Mama.
I don't know how it got there.
If you won't tell me you can tell the FBI, that's it.
Yes, the FBI has left three messages.
They want to talk to me.
Can you imagine, Erwin? Why would the FBI want to talk to me? [Tape Rewinding.]
What are you doing? Aren't you even gonna listen? Are you gonna talk to them? Well, of course I am.
It's the FBI.
Mama.
Oh, don't turn on the waterworks, mister.
That's not going to wash.
I'm the one who's being lied to.
Erwin what are you doing? Erwin.
What are you doing? Erwin.
! [Screaming.]
Did not.
Anyway, that's what you get for hiring cheap help.
Thinking about what? How? Bad joke.
My theory is sound? You don't believe a word of it, John.
Never in a million years would you believe.
This has nothing to do with my theory.
I would do anything for you.
Anything but that.
[Cell Phone Rings.]
Reyes.
It's Skinner.
Are you okay? Yes, sir, I'm fine.
I can't say the same for Miriam Lukesh.
What happened? She's dead.
It's the exact M.
O.
Doggett described.
Most likely a straight razor was used.
Lukesh killed his mother.
Do you have any idea where he is? None.
But if everything I've been hearing is true he's not going to be easy to find.
I think he'll find us.
[Soft Clattering.]
[Scully.]
Are you all right, Agent Reyes? Just a little jumpy, I guess.
It's understandable.
I don't think you're the only one.
Try and take it easy, Monica.
We got you covered coming and going.
Anything happening out front? No, you moved into a quiet neighborhood.
It's dead out there.
I think I'll check around once more.
[Muffled Scream.]
You want to scream right now, don't you? - Lukesh.
- Because of your friends outside parked in a van might as well say "FBl" in big huge letters.
Do it.
Try and scream out to them.
They can't hear you.
Where'd she go? Monica, do you copy? [Skinner.]
Reyes? Agent Reyes, do you read me? He's in there.
He's gotta be.
- It's not possible.
- Well, what if it is? You want to stick around and find out? You ruined everything, you bitch.
You made me.
You made me do it.
- Lukesh, don't - Shut up.
Shut up.
But you know what? This time I get to bleed you slow.
You all right? Monica, you all right? It's okay.
It's okay.
It's over.
[Beeps.]
[Respirator Deflates, Stops.]
[Dial Tone.]
Monica, forget about the plates, will ya? What's wrong? Monica, what's wrong? I'm good.
I'm good.
[Child.]
I made this.
