"The Field Where I Died" is the fifth episode of the fourth season of television series The X-Files. Agent Mulder's search for an informant inside a cult compound leads him and Scully to one of the cult leader's wives. What they soon discover is an unexpectedly close connection with the woman involving reincarnation.

[edit] Trivia

  • The Flukeman is mentioned in this episode when Mulder asks Scully if knowing about their past lives "Would have changed some of the ways we looked at one another?" she answers, "Even if I knew for certain, I wouldn't change a day...Well except for that Flukeman thing, I could have lived without that just fine."
  • The penultimate scene features a team of BATF agents raiding the religious compound, only to find that everyone inside has committed mass suicide. This may be a reference to the Waco Siege.[1]
