A TERRIFYING EXPERIMENT IN ALIEN BIOLOGY TESTS SCULLY'S SKEPTICISM
AND RISKS MULDER'S LIFE, WITH FATAL CONSEQUENCES FOR MULDER'S MOST TRUSTED ALLY.
A fugitive running from police is shot trying to escape but jumps
into a bay; he leaves traces of green blood behind. Deep Throat, Mulder's mysterious
government informant, eggs him on to investigate a case even though there seems nothing to
go on. They visit a researcher connected with the fugitive and find him conducting DNA
experiments; later the researcher is killed and Mulder asks Scully to analyze the contents
of some of the laboratory flasks. When the fugitive resurfaces and Scully's research turns
up some highly unusual viruses, Mulder and Scully begin to close in on the biggest secret
they have ever uncovered. Mulder risks death to protect the fugitive, whose very blood may
prove the existence of extraterrestrial life. Scully confronts evidence that shakes her
fundamental beliefs, and Deep Throat puts his life on the line to save Mulder.
Notes
Very familiar ending to this this ep, not Deep Throat's death, but
the phone call at 11:21 and Cancer Man shelving the paperwork deep within the belly of the
Pentagon, just like "The Pilot" ep.
Note the number of the room where the tanks with all the people are,
1056, Chris Carter's birth month and year.
