9X18 Sunshine Days
When a young man is killed while breaking in to a house he claims is exactly like the house on the TV show, ‘The Brady Bunch’, Doggett and Reyes are called
in by Scully after his body showed signs of residual electricity hours after death. Michael Daley, who witnessed his friend’s death, shows them to the house that
they broke in to. However the interior of the house does not resemble the Brady Bunch in any way and the owner, Oliver Martin claims no knowledge of a
break in. Despite these facts Doggett spots that the roof of the house has recently been patched, raising suspicions. Which are later confirmed when Michael
Daley is killed that night while trying to break in to the house again to prove his story.
A background check on Oliver Martin uncovers the fact that his real name is Anthony Fogelman, who as a young boy was the subject of a
study by parapsychologist Dr John Rietz in to his apparent psychokinetic powers. They track down Dr Rietz and interview him, he
recounts Anthony’s remarkable abilities to Scully, Doggett and Reyes. Anthony could move objects with the power of his mind in one of the most documented
cases of psychokinesis, however his abilities faded and Dr Rietz lost contact with him. He assures them that the Anthony he knew would never harm anyone
and volunteers to help them to confront him. Doggett is astounded when they enter the house to find it looks like the interior of The Brady Bunch house.
Dr Rietz pursuades Anthony to demonstrate his power, leaving Scully, Doggett and Reyes marvelling at his ability to alter reality and the possibility that
he could provide concrete proof of the paranormal and vindication all of their work on the X-files.
Noteworthy Quote
Dr Rietz: "It could expand the scope of human knowledge. It could change
everything."
Scully: "It very well could. I've been working this unit for nine years now.
I've investigated nearly 200 paranormal cases. We are due for some
incontrovertible proof. I want vindication for Mulder and for all of us."
