"The End" is the twentieth and final episode of season 5 of the television series The X-Files. The assassination of a chess grandmaster leads Mulder and Scully into an investigation that they soon discover strikes at the heart of the X-Files when they learn that the real target was a telepathic boy named Gibson Praise. While Agent Spender attempts to keep the investigation to himself, Mulder and Scully are joined by Agent Diana Fowley, a woman who has a history with Mulder, to investigate it. What they discover leads the Smoking Man to strike back at them like never before.
[edit] Production
This episode was the last filmed in Vancouver prior to production moving to Los Angeles. The audience at the chess match was made up of local fans as a 'thank you' to the city for hosting the production during its first five years. The title of this episode and the first episode of the sixth season reference the move. The fire which destroys the X-Files office gave a credible explanation for any discontinuities between the Vancouver and LA sets.
