i do not understand how one can not get the plot for this episode . agent reyes have be examine numerology when she hear of a recent murder and it allow her to connect this murder with previous one . scully and who be skeptical of numerology and notice that all the woman have a particular mark and which tie the case together . we then see our killer and he be inside a bar where he kill another woman and and nearby be a strange man ( burt reynolds ) . the next time we see the killer and he approach mr. burt and who be play three card monte and have recognize him from before . reyes go to see a numerologist and who just a she find something and be kill . eventually and this lead to scully and reyes and mr. burt and and the killer all inside a parking garage . mr. burt convince the agent to play checker and which lead to reyes notice that their color be red and black and which fit into the pattern of the serial killer and he have be kill woman by pattern of hair and the last victim be blonde . mr. burt ask reyes if the number be help the killer and or if they be help them catch him and which certainly hint at something about mr. burt and as well a his love of music and have seemingly every cd in the trunk of his car and and his view everything a a game . the killer corner the agent and be about to shoot reyes when doggett and who have find the killer his own way and by recognize a pattern in the location of the victim and shoot him dead . mr. burt be nowhere to be see . the end of the episode show to old italian men sing a song a the body of the killer be haul out of the parking garage and some kind of festival be go on and a the camera zoom out you see the face of mr. burt make from the light of the city far below and and then the screen black out to the credit . i take mr. burt a be god and who and although not directly and stop the serial killer by make his action into a pattern that could be recognize and use number and other coincidence . basically say that god be look out for people and albeit in a strange playful way and if the people be open to everything .
