Gung Bittuen

Gung Bittuen (played by Sab Shimono) was an orderly at Excelsis Dei convalescent home in Worcester, Massachussets, who was secretly supplying the residents with a special homeopathic medicine, made from a mix of homegrown mushrooms and herbs from his native Malaysia. The pills on one hand cured their degenerative conditions, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, but also enabled them to communicate with the ghosts of former patients through a psychic link., the former of which was falsely attributed to an experimental drug trial conducted by director Dr. John Grago. 
Gung was motivated to do this as he was shocked by the lack of respect the elderly experienced by the dismissive staff and their seldomly visiting families, but did not foresee the consequence of the mistreated specters, now reawakened through their bond with the current residents, taking out their anger at the staff for the abuse they were subjected to during their lifetime, resulting in the sexual assault of Nurse Michelle Charters and the deaths of two Nurses Tiernan and Upshaw. Meanwhile, the living residents requested increasingly higher and more frequent doses of the drug, in spite of Gung warning them of the dangers of taking too many, leading to a twosome, Stan Philips and Leo Kreutzer, hoarding the ones he gives them and eventually stealing and taking all the pills at once when Gung, after being confronted by Agents Scully and Mulder, attempts to hand in the remaining ones. This leads to an concentrated paranormal event, that almost leads to the deaths of Agent Mulder and Nurse Charters.
Athough his role in the Excelsi Dei happenings was largely disregarded, Gung was fired and slated for deportation back to his home country to face trial for cultivation, manufacture and distribution of illicit substances. No analysis of the unprocessed mushrooms were made and following their disposal, the residents all revert back to their previous, vegetative states.
