SCULLY: Examination and autopsy of John Doe number one-zero-one-three-five-six. Case number D-P-one-one-two-one-four-eight. Special Agent Fox Mulder, field investigator. Body is an adult male, with advanced tissue decomposition, weighing a hundred and sixty-five pounds in extremis, sixty-nine inches in length. Intact skin is mottled and discolored, due to submergence in and exposure to a highly bacterial environment. Cause and time of death unknown. Possible identifying mark on right forearm. Body cavities appear normal. Interior organs intact. Consistent in rate of decomposition. Removing the rib cage. Condition of heart and lungs are good. No sign of thrombi, natural degenerate diseases, indicate victim was probably a young adult. The liver shows some nodular hardening, consistent with incipientalcoholism. (A small flat, gray worm peeks out from inside the liver) Oh, God! (Taking the forceps, Scully peels back the outer layer of the liver, and then latches onto the small organism, pulling it out.)
