ONLY A MENTALLY RETARDED JANITOR AND A DEAD SCIENTIST CAN HELP MULDER AND SCULLY SOLVE A SERIES OF MURDERS IN A RESEARCH FACILITY.

A research scientist is trapped in a wind tunnel and sucked into a giant experimental turbine, the first of two bizarre murders whose only link is either a mentally handicapped man or a dead one. Alerted by handwriting analysis and research into the victims' backgrounds, Mulder and Scully discover an old secret that links twins separated at an early age, genetic mutation and the possible survival of a mind after the death of the body. When the last surviving researcher is caught in a fatal trap, Mulder and Scully must act on their instincts to call back the mind of a dead man in his living brother.

Mulder: "I don't think they will be performing this experiment on Beakman's world."

Mulder: "If he had plans to kill Surnow, Nolet, and Keats, why not make it appear the least likely suspect?"

Scully: "Yeah. By the looks of this, (holds up picture of car crash) he's hamburger."

Mulder: "Hey Roland, you have more shirts than I do. (holds up shirt) I think this would be stylin'."

____________________________________________________________

Dr. Barrington: "Due to the extensive trauma suffered during the accident, we were only able to preserve the head."

Scully: "Wouldn't your client find it rather inconvenient to be thawed out, only to find that he has no functional mobility?"

____________________________________________________________

Mulder: "An egghead classic."

____________________________________________________________

Mulder: "How was the wedding?"

Scully: "You mean the part where the groom passed out or the dog bit the drummer?"

Mulder: "Did you catch the bouquet?

Scully: "Maybe."

____________________________________________________________

Mulder: "You've got a brother, don't you, Scully?"

Scully: "Yeah, I have an older one and a younger one."

Mulder: "Have you ever thought about calling one of them all day and then the phone rings and it's one of them?"

Scully: "Does this pitch somehow end in a way for me to lower my long distance charges?"

Mulder: "I believe in psychic connections. Closest of all between family members."

Scully: "OK, but in this case one family member has closer ties to a frozen fudgesicle than he does to his own brother."

____________________________________________________________

Mulder: "There is definitely something unexplainable here, Scully, but not unidentifiable."

____________________________________________________________

Scully: "OK, let's go. I have to call my brother."

A sheet of paper crossed my desk the other day and as I read it, realization of a basic truth came over me. So simple! So obvious we couldn't see it. John Knivlen, Chairman of Polamar Repeater Club, an amateur radio group, had discovered how IC circuits work. He says that smoke is the thing that makes ICs work because every time you let the smoke out of an IC circuit, it stops working. He claims to have verified this with thorough testing.
I was flabbergasted! Of course! Smoke makes all things electrical work. Remember the last time smoke escaped from your Lucas voltage regulator Didn't it quit working? I sat and smiled like an idiot as more of the truth dawned. It's the wiring harness that carries the smoke from one device to another in your Mini, MG or Jag. And when the harness springs a leak, it lets the smoke out of everything at once, and then nothing works. The starter motor requires large quantities of smoke to operate properly, and that's why the wire going to it is so large.
Feeling very smug, I continued to expand my hypothesis. Why are Lucas electronics more likely to leak than say Bosch? Hmmm... Aha!!! Lucas is British, and all things British leak! British convertible tops leak water, British engines leak oil, British displacer units leak hydrostatic fluid, and I might add Brititsh tires leak air, and the British defense unit leaks secrets... so naturally British electronics leak smoke.
[Ummm ... IC circuits? Integrated circuit circuits?]
