Mulder and
Scully investigate a possible
UFO crash site, which mulder believes the
government is covering up.
A
spaceship crashes in the
woods but a
military commander reports it as a
meteor. We see soon after government workers in
space suits evacuating the area saying there was a
toxic chemical spill.
Deep Throat contacts Mulder and tells him that he has very little time to collect
evidence of an
alien UFO before all the evidence is erased.
Mulder is caught by the military while photographing the site. Held
prisoner, he meets
Max Fenig, a member of the National Investigative Committee of Aerial Phenomena (
NICAP). Mulder finds that Fenig is familiar with his work and agrees with him about government coverups.
Scully gets Mulder out. The military locates the lost alien
pilot but the men who encounter the being are
burned horribly.
Mulder finds Fenig having a
seizure and notices a
strange mark behind his
ear which Mulder has seen before on previous
alien abductees.
Meanwhile the military is tracking a new craft that is hovering over a
small town in eastern
Wisconsin.
Mulder follows Fenig who leads him into a warehouse. Mulder is flung across the room by an
alien presence. He looks up and sees Fenig
suspended in the air right and then disappear, assumed to be
abducted.
Important Quotes:
Deep Throat to Mulder -- "
Keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer."
Scully -- "My
assignment is to bring you back, not to help you dig yourself in deeper."
Mulder -- " 'The Last Detail' starring
Dana Scully"
Mulder -- "You can deny all the things I've seen. All the things I've
discovered. But not for much longer. Because too many others know what's happening out there. And no one. No
government agency has
jurisdiction over the
truth."
