[edit] Plot
In a follow-up from the previous episode Agent Fox Mulder races to Agent Dana Scully's house after listening to the recording of her attack on his answering machine. Duane Barry has kidnapped Scully, determined to offer her to the aliens in his place. We learn that Agent Alex Krycek is working for The Cigarette Smoking Man, and, as Mulder is involved in a high speed pursuit in a cable car, Krycek attempts to kill him to prevent him from rescuing his partner. Duane Barry is successful in handing Scully to his abducters, but later dies in the hospital from asphyxiation, a death for which Mulder is briefly held accountable.
